Specter....or....Spectre? Along with other incompetent types.

"History affords us many instances of the ruin of states, by the prosecution of measures ill suited to the temper and genius of their people. The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy... These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed; whence a total separation of affections, interests, political obligations, and all manner of connections, by which the whole state is weakened."

--Benjamin Franklin, Emblematical Representations

"An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation."

--John Marshall, McCullough v. Maryland, 1819
--------------------------------------------------------
"The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice. Every shilling which they overburden the inferior number is a shilling saved to their own pockets."

--James Madison, Federalist No. 10

Breaking news from yesterday revealed that arlen specter, fled the Republican Party to seek refuge from 'forced(by the people of Pennsylvania who vote)retirement'. In my humble opinion, that's a good thing simply because Senator specter did not represent Pennsylvania nor the nation, as a whole, in the Senate; he was however, a 'wolf in sheep's clothing', an unscrupulous 'loose cannon' and self appointed 'important person'. Goodbye arlen...all people bring joy to a group, whether by joining the group or leaving the group...goodbye arlen!

All one can hope for now, is an awakening of the populace(there have been a number of wake-up calls recently)to rid our Senate, House of Representatives and the White House of all that would take part in destroying the nation our Founding Fathers fought to create. The fathers realized the impact of over-burdening the populace with taxes, went as far as sending a message to the King of England by staging the Boston Tea Party....of which the theme was 'no taxation without representation'. We now have 'representatives' in Washington that no longer really represent the populace...instead, they seek only riches for themselves along with status and power. The recent 'Tea Parties' held across the nation in towns, large and small, signal to Washington that the people, have had enough of no representation....on both sides of the aisle! I anticipate a gigantic upheaval come November 2010 as the leeches get tossed out on their collective arses, let the 'thuds' begin! As we all know, those very same 'leeches' will rise to the occasion and promise all sorts of 'reform', lying about this and that and continue to blame conservatives along with George W. Bush for the incompetent mess we have on our hands to sort out and clean up. Truth be known, these same 'saviours' are the ones responsible for the current mess...are you listening jamie gorelick, barney frank, chris dodd?

How incompetent is it that Air Force One, did a fly-over NYC and no one knows who set it in motion? AF-1 is the personal 'taxi cab' for the White House pimp and he doesn't have a clue? Was michelle out with her card or garden club joy riding for a couple hours at taxpayer expense? Was arlen specter taking in the sights of what he thought could be future treasure for him to accumulate? The idiot White House press secretary, stumbled and bumbled for answers, coming forth with none...maybe he should have borrowed the pimp's tele-prompter...we could call it the gibbs-prompter...seeing how he speaks with the same 'nuances' the pimp uses, which are not nuances, but mindless word searches in an empty head. The pimp has never had an original thought in his entire life.

How incompetent is it to name a treasury secretary that cheated on paying his own taxes....and was not held accountable for late fees and fines that a regular citizen would be burdened with the rest of their lives? Or a Secretary of Homeland Security that doesn't acknowledge 'terrorism' but instead calls it a 'man made disaster' and calls the war on terrorism an 'overseas contingency operation'? As Govenor of her own state, Arizona, allowed things at the mexican border to deterorate to the point that Phoenix is the kidnappers capital of the U.S. In the pimp's administration, incompetence abounds, from top to bottom with one exception...General James Jones, and I'm sure he's only in place without a voice as a token to the people who really care about the future of the U.S.

Dire straits are before us people and unless we stand tall and rebuke the policies of the pimp we will go down in history as a people who were blinded byempty promises and led by the nose into oblivion.

Wake up America....our future as a nation is at stake!
