112th Congress To Begin with Reading of the Constitution

One of the first orders of business of the new congress will be to read the Constitution on the floor of the house.  A document that our federal government has been forsaking for quite some time.  While this is nothing more than window dressing, I still look at as a good start.

The republican controlled congress has realized that the Tea Party is going to accept nothing less.  Many in the media have characterized the tea party as just being against Obama.  While they certainly don't like Obama's policies, they don't like the government in general.  The distrust isn't just about the democrats.  This is an equal opportunity kind of thing.  We don't particularly trust either side to be on the side of the American people, as they are spending too much time worrying about power than about the constitutional limits of the offices that they hold. 

So while I look at this reading as an appeasement of sorts, I still like it.  Just maybe some of it will sink in. We will have to wait and see.

The 111th Congress Final Piece of History

The lowest job approval rating in the history of the poll.  They got a full 13%.  Even the Los Angeles Times is asking how it is that high.  The respondents who label themselves as democrats are the most approving (shocker) but even that is only at 16%. 

Who exactly are these people and why haven't they taken their meds? 

They are in the final phase of the destruction of America with a pork laden omnibus bill that has thousands of earmarks.  This is a bill that needs to be done due to the fact that the government has no funding after Saturday.  So, as usual, congress waits until the very last minute to pass important and necessary legislation and then puts all their own pet projects in it. 

I see that the ghost of John Murtha is alive and well and still funding the airport built for one.  Yes, we are still paying for the airport that virtually no one uses.  Why?  Seriously what could be the justification for this?  Heaven only knows what else one might find in there. 

We have people who were voted out lining their districts/states with tax payer funds that other members are completely unaware of.  One final slap in the face to the voters that kicked their pork laden butts to the curb. 

Is is any wonder that people of this country can't stand them? 

Bachmann Ends her Bid for GOP Chair

It is with confidence in Jeb Hensarling's leadership that I bring my candidacy for Republican Conference Chair to a close and proudly support him.

Congresswoman Bachmann released this statement several minutes ago via her facebook page. 

I have done some research on the voting record of Congressman Hensarling.  I am fine with this choice.  He is very anti earmark.  He actually has a better record on earmarks than Congresswoman Bachman is.  Now, he is not nearly dynamic as Michele.  But, with the media bias in this country, that isn't really a bad thing.  Congresswoman Bachmann is much more of a lightening rod.  Good luck to Hensarling. 

Schooling the Newbies - Michele Bachmann Will Be Holding Classes on The Constitution for Congress

Congresswoman Bachmann has promised to start holding weekly classes on The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and The Declaration of Independence. She will be inviting all newly elected members as well as encouraging the existing members to attend as well. She will be inviting in experts to hold these classes that will be one hour before they are required to be on the floor for the first vote of the day. Now, while I think that this is great news, but shouldn't they have known all this information before they took the oath saying that they will be defending it?







Bachmann started The Tea Party Caucus, so this will be very popular among them, but I wonder how popular it is going to be among the members of congress. The sad truth is that we have people in office on both sides of the aisle that have zero interest in the defending the constitution if it gets in the way of party and ideology. This coming election is not going to change that. While we have more republicans in office, not all of them will be on the side of the constitution, therefore not really being on the side of the everyday American.






I have been going to a constitution class that meets monthly for a while now. If you actually read the constitution you will find that the federal government is doing things on a daily basis that they have no power to do. This isn't something that can change anytime soon. This is a generational change that has to be made to our government. The federal government uses outright bribery to get what they want. One great example of this is the legal drinking age. The federal government has no ability to create a federal drinking age. But, if you notice we have one. While the laws are passed by individual states, they were forced into making that change virtually by force. The federal government put restrictions on the money that is given to them by the federal government for state roads and other transportation issues. Back in the early 80's MADD was very active and pushed legislators to make this change. Now, I am not saying that it is a bad law, I am just saying that the individual states should have the right to decide for themselves what that age is. Any state that did not raise its drinking age to 21 by a date certain would no longer qualify for the federal funds. Since the states rely on this money they are not in the position to turn it down, they all capitulated and raised the drinking age to 21. This is completely unconstitutional, yet we see it happen over and over again. Will this change by simply having a weekly class? I guess we will have to wait and see.
