It's time to wake up...

 and take a stand.


If the events of the past week are not enough of a wake up call to the citizens of this country of how far we have slid down the dark tunnel of socialism communism, then we are lost.

We have a president who decides to not enforce a law because he "doesn't think it's constitutional" while ignoring the courts decision on ObamaCare.  While he has the right to think whatever he wishes about some law or another being 'unconstitutional", he doesn't have the right to ignore it.

 While Idaho continues down the route of nullification of ObamaCare , a total of 26 states is suing the feds, calling the bill unconstitutional.  To repeat what I've said before; if you strip the states of their rights because of massive power grabs by the feds, we live in Amerika - not the United States of America.

The affairs that rightly belong to the states have been co-opted by the feds and the time for it to stop is now, not some vague future date.

The shame of this ObamaCare debacle is that real and meaningful change in the health care industry is shoved into the background while the feds continue to do not what the people want, but what will give them the most power.  Untold billions of dollars are being flushed down a rat hole while the will of the people is ignored by those who still have time to celebrate Motown.

Excellent article by Doug Powers ROSS (Argh!  that's what happens when you blog when tired!!  Sorry, Doug!) with some easy to understand history of governments - and we thank him!  That man's been on fire lately.

The Fork in the Road
[...]Today our federal government's most powerful branch is one never conceived by the Framers: the unelected fourth branch of government -- the enormous federal bureaucracy -- that acts at the president's behest. It defies a federal judge in Florida who has voided Obamacare. It ignores a federal judge in Louisiana who has held the Interior Department in Contempt of Court for failing to lift an unconscionable drilling moratorium. And it now decides which laws it will enforce and which it will not, the "Defense of Marriage Act" being only the most recent example. do yourself a favor and read the entire article
