It’s
quite amazing actually, but not surprising what is taking place post
re-election of Barack Hussein Obama. Remember, as I write this, that
Obama comes from the same state as Abraham Lincoln and that just as
Lincoln oversaw a divided nation, Barack Obama is also making it that
way. Lincoln oversaw our nation’s War of Northern Aggression or for
those who grew up in public school education, the Civil War. Now it
seems that the same mindset is beginning in our country again with
petitions submitted to the White House petitions site.
First there
was a petition to “Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw
from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.”
The petition was created November 7 and already has 3,521 signatures.
It needs 25,000 by December 7 of this year in order to garner a response
from Barack Obama.
The petition was clear and to the point:
“When
in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and
to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station
to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to the separation.”
“…Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and
institute new Government…”
Lest you think this petition is isolated.
A
petition was begun on Friday for Texas to peacefully withdraw from the
United States of America and create its own new government. The petition reads:
The
US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal
government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The
citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as
the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a
balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is
practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so
would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their
rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs
of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the
federal government.
I must admit I’m very uneasy
about the current administration. I’m uneasy about the ideology of the
current occupant of the White House. I’m uneasy about the massive
increase in taxes coming and the failure of Congress to stand up and
demand the Constitution be upheld, wasteful spending be stopped,
undeclared foreign wars cease, and government “charity be abandoned.
I’m uneasy about the power grabs that are taking place along with the
complete ignoring of the Constitution. What are we to expect except
that Americans will become angry and say they have had enough? Well, it
looks like that time is quickly approaching.
