The First Betrayal

February 19, 2012 America, Constitution, Featured, tldavis 3 Comments
by TL Davis

An election to office is the first betrayal of a representative, senator or president. It is from that moment on that they become subservient to an outlaw system. I say this as a point of fact, not an opinion. Any government that is freed from its Constitution is no longer operating under the law. The fact that nine other government employees (justices), some who have open distaste for the Constitution (to them an antiquated document they hold in contempt), support this wholesale disregard for law is no justification. A thief cannot absolve another thief to satisfy the demands of the victim.

We do not need another amendment to the Constitution to make them mind, they will just write more laws. They have been operating thus since the Civil War in my opinion. They will not stop, they do not understand the issues, or worse they understand them and cynically reject their importance. But, the issue at hand is their legitimacy.

The oath they take means nothing to them, but it means everything to us. It is what confers to them the power and authority to act with our consent, as representatives. But, they are only given that consent on the condition that they swear to protect and defend the document that protects us from THEM. Without their honest intent to support and defend us from the tyrannical nature of the politician, they have no authority at all. At that moment they become no better than any Arab thug dictator and should be treated accordingly.

Ours is a solemn obligation. It is an obligation to the founders and to our children. Some were called to the defense of the nation in war, others by standing against hostilities during the great expansion of the nation, but now we find the true enemy of the people at home, in the seat of government, with the power of the police at their disposal.

Isn’t it odd that a nation built on the concept of protecting the individual has found so many ways to attack them?

Our obligation is not selfish, it is a sacrifice. It is not just for freedom’s sake that we act, but also to defend the nation from the economic chaos that the overwhelming burden of laws and transfers of wealth have inflicted on the people. Had those in government remained faithful to the Constitution they could have done all that was demanded of the government with but a few hundred billion dollars. Instead, they have enslaved us to social programs that are sucking the economic life out of the country. Greece did the same thing and Portugal, Spain etc. The idea of controlling people through ever step of their lives cost more than those they enslave to pay for it can afford. One can only take so much blood before the donor dies.

We in the liberty/Patriot movement could wait until it all comes crashing down on us, this incredible, unsustainable debt and then act to defend ourselves, but I suggest we step forward and call their bluff. They have no cards left to reveal, except to resort to violence and police action like their Arab counterparts. If they do, they will lose any pretense to legitimacy. Already there are many suspicions aroused in the masses. The attack on religion shocked millions, who now see this sham of a government differently, but let us lead the way to the light of liberty and justice.

Consider a PatCom in your area, there are many forming up across the nation. I believe Bill Nye was the first to hold one and many others can be found at his site. Also, the Liberty Summit will be held in late April at a place to be determined.

    They have taken this oath many times. They are breaking it every day they are in office: any office they inhabit. They are turning themselves into domestic enemies, which they took an oath to protect the Constitution from.

    Justice Ginsberg’s lack of enthusiasm for the U.S. Constitution reminds me of the old saying… “It’s a poor carpenter who blames his tools.”

    Maybe she just isn’t a good enough jurist to deal with the concepts of a free society…it must be so much simpler and easier to be able to just mandate everything the way you want it to be and always vote to allow the government to have more power. Darn those pesky negative covenants in the Bill of Rights!

    We have a short time to turn this around, if we still can. Keep active in the political field and on the PT field.

    Cruachan!!

USS Shakespeare – CVN 80 – “Unto the breach”

15 May 2012

OK, that may seem a little silly, but hear me out. We are not just in a fight for liberty and the founding principles. We are in an existential fight for all of Western Civilization. Sure, it would be nice to rollback 100 years of progressive nonsense and return to our (possibly imagined) Constitutional roots, but there’s more than that. Between the collectivists and the muslims, millenia of civilization (back to Homer, kids) are in …

Fidelity to Failed Ideas

12 May 2012

It’s terribly unfortunate that, out of an entire four-year cycle of politics, we’ve not seen the national economy recover in any substantial way. That’s a long time for it to be languishing the way it’s been. But it affords us a unique educational opportunity because we’ve been able to watch two presidential administrations — one archetypically liberal, running for re-election, and the other one whatever passes for “conservative” in this day & age, and not …

And A Soldier Dies

6 May 2012

When it comes to Kerodin’s Convention in DC, I am in. From the first day they passed the seat belt law in Colorado, 1986, or thereabouts, I knew it would come to this. I chaffed at the first sign of a government obsessed with my safety and knew that one day it would grow to the point that something would have to be done about it. It never stops at common sense, once they snare you …

Intelligence Is No Defense Against Absurdity

5 May 2012

Constitutional scholars do not impress me. I have listened to any number of them, including Representative Trey Gowdy, who recently ripped Kathleen Sebelius over the Obamacare issue. Okay, that was good and I enjoyed this video of the confrontation. Refreshing as it was, and instructive on the absolute ignorance of the Constitution and the Supreme Court and any measure of weighing Constitutionality against a bill put before congress that the Obama Administration has, even at the …

Their Work Will Never Be Done

1 May 2012

Today the world is different. Our nation is different. As Americans we are being pulled in different directions, called on by society to remain silent and acquiescent to the great ramrod of collectivism, or asked to risk everything for principles and ideals that are at the heart of Americanism, but no longer supported by our government(s). Indeed, to demand that the government recognize and operate under these very ideals upon which it is based is considered …

Trust and Retractions

30 Apr 2012

Now here is a picture that’s worth a zillion words… Look what’s going on there now. Green line is retraction incidents, measured in “notices” per 100,000 publications in scientific journals. Now, you could argue there may be problems with measuring it this way…but nevertheless, if the plotting is shaped like this, it’s gotta mean something. And the line more or less gels with public perception of the problems with science across time, if it doesn’t …

If The Darkness Descends

13 Apr 2012

Here’s the problem as I see it, whenever I attempt to communicate some ideas to the readers of this blog, I run into a problem. It is not that Romney supports guns and Obama wants to take them away, it is that every politician wants to take them away, either from an ideological police state mentality, or from a law and order, “make it safer for our guys, the government guys”, point of view. Does …

Drop The White Flag and Fight

10 Apr 2012

The announcement of Santorum only confirms what we all knew, that no matter who got the GOP nomination there would be a big-government liberal in the White House after the 2012 election. The announcement only sets the field. Santorum would have been no different, in my estimation, none of them would. I know I have been through this before, but there is no, none, zero chance that any government stooge will ever do anything to …

Studies

7 Apr 2012

So the kid’s here for spring break, of which today is the last day. The fiancee and I are driving him back to Nevada today so he can resume school. We had a blast with the go-karts and the trip to the shooting range, where I lost my .40 S&W virginity and managed a decently tight grouping in spite of the wicked recoil on the Beretta. Also upgraded his home-built with a new 2GB video …

A Step Forward

5 Apr 2012

It occurs to me that the best of us seek the justification of the Constitution to act, to not appear lawless and out of control. We seek some sort of sanctification, legitimization in our desire for liberty. We are not unreasonable about this, we don’t demand the destruction of our government, only that it would work the way it has promised to work. We want to be able to count on something.  In the face of that …
