The Democratic Governors Association has characterized members of the Tea Party movement as “political terrorists”. And well they might, for Democrat elitism and worship of government as the source of all good is the direct antithesis of what our Founding Fathers envisioned for America. Government encroachment on our liberties and intrusion in our lives is precisely what gave birth to the Tea Party and the 912 movements. 

As Americans wake up to the intellectual dishonesty of those claiming to support freedom, even as they legislate massive entitlements that mandate dependency on government, these demagogues have every reason to be afraid – not for their lives, but for the impending loss of the plush trappings of the public offices which they have used for their own gain at the expense of our freedom and our national security.

With the passage of Obama-care, many Americans feel as if government has slapped us in the face. And that's probably putting it mildly.  Predictably, many are calling for a repeal effort after the coming November elections. While speaking about "repeal" makes people feel better, it will not happen. Here's why:

There are not enough Democrat seats up for election in the US Senate to establish a veto-proof majority; conservatives need to capture 27 seats for a veto-proof Senate, and only 15 are up for election this fall.  

Some federal candidates are appealing to the sweeping populism and public anger resulting from the passage of ObamaCare with pledges to “Repeal the bill!” if elected.  While such “chest thumping” sounds impressive and feels good, the simple fact is that repealing ObamaCare is not going to happen. Here’s why:

Repealing ObamaCare will bring a swift Presidential veto. Over-riding that veto will require a 2/3 of both the U.S. House and Senate. Public outrage or no, while it is possible to regain a simple majority of the Senate, it is statistically impossible to gain the 2/3 needed to override an Obama veto.

Reactionary battle cries like “Repeal!” sound and feel good But they will not produce a legislative outcome. Given the enormity of the Constitutional and economic danger in which our nation finds itself, this is a time for careful legislative action to deliver the outcomes we must achieve.

If you want to recover from an economic meltdown, you don’t send hundreds of billions of dollars to the banks that caused it. You don’t spend it paving highways and buying used cars. You don’t shield the Fed from accountability. And you don’t call it “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.” It wasn’t an act. It was an outrage.

Congress and the Administration ignored the American people, wasted $1 trillion on a failed “Stimulus Package”, and quadrupled the federal deficit in 1 year. Then they blamed the last Administration for the bailout debacle while using the remaining monies as a political slush fund.

The real travesty in the development of public policy today is the absence of truth in the method used to define a problem, whether it is the "climate change" fraud or the health care "crisis".

When a government refuses to acknowledge truth, derived using the scientific method which includes and tests all variables, includes data that contraindicates the hypothesis, and welcomes critical thinking and challenges to that hypothesis, we are on the brink of tyranny of a sort that is lethal to both the founding principles of our republic and to the human spirit that is the fuel needed to preserve it.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

This oath, taken by every member of Congress, says one thing and one thing only: that their sworn obligation is to protect the principles embodied in our Constitution so that future generations of Americans will be free. Many of them are betraying that promise, as they pass bill after bill, heaping ruinous debt on our citizens, and fostering socialism with government takeovers of major segments of our economy.
