The (American) Man in the Mirror

I love my country yet I have failed my country; too many decades in a civic coma. I have no excuse because there is no excuse for failing to protect liberty. While I hibernated as citizen guard of our Constitution, troops of termites have worked diligently, if not stealthily, to erode our Founding, our freedom, and our rights which, should we need reminder, are God given not government given. My ancestor—Matthew Dymond—fought in the American Revolution to secure freedom for me, and for you. It’s pay back time, folks.

Obama’s declaration days before the 2008 election that he would “transform” America should have set off warning sirens in all of us, but some of us were politically unconsciousness. Some chose to believe you can get something for nothing; some cast their vote as retaliation against the Bush years, and some were swayed by frosting when it was the ingredients in the cake that should have commanded their discriminating consciousness.

How ironic that the first black president of the United States is determined to enslave his countrymen. The success of Obama’s sales pitch hinged on making people believe he cared about their prosperity; when the truth was his only appetite was for power.

Ten months after this Muslim was sworn into the highest office in our land, we are choking on frosting. The ingredients in the cake come from a mix of toxic recipes — fascism, socialism, Marxism, communism. Arrogant and narcissistic, Obama hardly sees a need to add any more sugar to the frosting. He already considers us baked.

Having secured his position and a Congress full of lily-livered “yes men,” what need is there to offer any further sales pitch to the American public—just apologies to the world. The man in the mirror is to blame. I take ownership of my share, but, most importantly, now that I am awake, I refuse to sit back and be a spectator as this tyrant sprints to the goal line of his mission as 21st century slave owner.

There is a fork in the road and it is labeled “2010 Elections.” Your choice is to be a spectator or a challenger.

Nothing is free in this world. You need to decide what liberty is worth to you. We only lose is if we acquiesce. The Muslim in the White House and the cowards in Congress are counting on our compliance that they know more about what is good for us and for our families they we do. This not only is a falsehood, it is insulting. Government can’t run anything unless it’s into a ditch.

Government has made it their job to balloon when their job actually is to get out of our way. There is no prosperity in government expansion. Robbing Peter to cover Paul will buy you a first-class ticket to Obama’s plantation for a lynching of a thousand taxes.

“We the People”—no one else—hold the key to prosperity for future generations. It is called free market enterprise. It is called production. It is called tax cuts. It is called self-support. It is called the Declaration of Independence. It is called the Constitution of the United States of America. It is called the Bill of Rights. It is called the American way.

Look at the man in the mirror. Who is staring back at you—spectator or challenger?

James Hyde posted on the wire of the group "The RIGHT Movement":

"Faith brought it to my attention. It comes from the Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee.

It's a press release. Please disseminate this post to as many people as you can. It is critical that people know about this. If you don't have medical insurance, you could wind up in jail for FIVE (5) years:

PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail
JCT Confirms Failure to Comply with Democrats’ Mandate Can Lead to 5 Years in Jail
Friday, November 06, 2009

Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.”

Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:

“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]

- - - - - - - - - -

“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]

- - - - - - - - - -


“Criminal penalties

Prosecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses. Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual:

• Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.

• Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.” [page 3]

When confronted with this same issue during its consideration of a similar individual mandate tax, the Senate Finance Committee worked on a bipartisan basis to include language in its bill that shielded Americans from civil and criminal penalties. The Pelosi bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail.

“The Senate Finance Committee had the good sense to eliminate the extreme penalty of incarceration. Speaker Pelosi’s decision to leave in the jail time provision is a threat to every family who cannot afford the $15,000 premium her plan creates. Fortunately, Republicans have an alternative that will lower health insurance costs without raising taxes or cutting Medicare,” said Camp.

According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker’s bill would cost $15,000 in 2016.

This needs to be spread around EVERYWHERE...

I have clearly saved these comments up all day so I could get some work done! LOL.
I am so tired of reading Boulder Daily Camera letters to the editor where writers claims that "most" or "70%" of Americans want the public option. I don't believe it. A quick perusal of various recent polls doesn't support it either. We need to keep making our voices heard! Good job to all for doing your homework and speaking up!

Comment by Angie Zimmerer on November 4, 2009 at 6:13pm

also... Does anyone have plans to go to their representative's local office tomorrow? Wishing I could go to DC!

111?! Just what we need...
Was anyone else in Denver last night for the Tea Party? I would love to have seen larger numbers, but we think there were about 1000 of us. Very uplifting to see life-minded folks gathered and to hear the speeches from the Tea Party Express.
