My Name is Betsy. I'm a Killer.

Here is an excellent article by Betsy M. Galliher, over at American Thinker:

My name is Betsy. I'm a wife and proud soccer mom, a writer, and a small business owner. I'm also a killer.

On the morning of January 8, 2011, I intentionally entered a gathering held by Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and shot her at near-point-blank range. I injured fourteen others, killing six -- among them a beautiful, curious, doe-eyed, nine-year-old girl. I didn't actually pull the trigger, but I'm as guilty as the psychopath who did.

Here are just a few of the charges against me:

I am a conservative.

The Arizona Tragedy
Throughout our history there have been seminal events that have served to UNIFY our nation. Some examples are the attack on Pearl Harbor, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and of course the attack of September11, 2001.
In each case ALL Americans stood UNITED in our resolve in our national condemnation of evil and in our collective grief for the fallen. Throughout history America has shined brightest WHEN WE STOOD UNITED.
And yet, THERE ARE THOSE WHO WOULD SEEK TO DEVIDE RATHER THAN UNITE. Before the victims of the actions of a deranged young man in Arizona have been laid to rest; there are some politicians who are trying to take political advantage using a form of tortured logic that ascribes blame for the tragedy to so called “right wing extremist” TV and Radio personalities.
I, along with most right thinking Americans find this type of political gamesmanship reprehensible and contrary to our national ethos. Now is not the time for politics of any kind. Now is the time for NATIONAL UNITY- in grief for the fallen and appreciation for the survivors.
I find it particularly incredulous that these same politicians would attack the Tea Party and some of our most high profile leaders and spokespersons for what were clearly the actions of a deranged person.
Friends, I for one, will not allow this shameful political practice diminish my resolve to continue to speak out against unresponsive politicians who value their own political agenda above the will of the people. My weapon will not be bullets but rather something much more powerful…the pen and the ballot.
May God bless America and may God have mercy on the victims and families of the Arizona Tragedy.

I am sorry, but due to the un-manageable volume of spam comments, I have enabled the scrambled word verification. I apologize for the inconvenience.

The Only Question You Need

"Which article of the Constitution gives government the authority to do that?"

If more and more people start asking this question, I think most of our worst political problems, in all branches and all levels of government would go away by themselves, almost overnight. When a reporter asked Nancy Pelosi that question about the healthcare bill, her deer-in-the-headlights response was, "Are you serious?" Well, we are serious, and politicians should be afraid to step out of their offices without a credible answer to that question. It is the only "litmus test" that we need.

It really takes so little effort, that it is at least worth a try. The beauty of it is, this really should appeal to honest people from anywhere on the political spectrum.

Uphold and Defend

Big government and bad policy, usurpation of authority not granted in the US Constitution is human nature. Republicans and Democrats are both guilty. We the People must realize that this is not a partisan issue, and demand that all of our politicians follow the Constitution.

The US Constitution is still the official specification for the United States of America.
It guarantees equal justice for all, and protects your life, liberty and prosperity.
Any regime that distorts or disregards its original intent is untrustworthy and dangerous.

Presidential Quotes

The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. ~ Thomas Jefferson

With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators. ~ James Madison

I think we can say that the Constitution reflected an enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on to this day and that the Framers had that same blind spot. I don't think the two views are contradictory to say that it was a remarkable political document, that paved the way for where we are now, and to say it also reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day. ~ Barack Obama

Every word [of the Constitution] decides a question between power and liberty. ~ James Madison

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington

Do You Still Have All of the Liberty That You Were Born With?

Think back to when you were growing up. What things could you do then that you can no longer do now? What things did you have the liberty to decide for yourself that is now a mandate? How many federal, state and local laws were passed since you were born? How many new bureaucracies and agencies have been created since you were born? How many new regulations have they imposed? How many tax increases have you seen in your lifetime? How many new government programs have replaced your ability to do it yourself? (more...)
