To Communism, Liberalism and New Age Fascism. The vote Saturday night on the Health Care Takeover points out the tendency to mob rule so common in democracies driven by propaganda. It also points out the brilliance of the Founding Fathers' construction of two houses of Congress. All kinds of silly bills have been passed quickly in the hysteria of the moment by the House of Representative Lunatics, only to be held up and let to die mong the pontifications in the debating society called the Senate. The Tax and Scam bill has been held up in the Senate now for months, on the back burner. Even Sen. Reid, hearing the tolling of his own political iron bell back in Nevada, said the Health care bill will not be taken up until next year.
Of course he lies. Reid, obviously liberally suicidal, still wants to open the debate on Obamacare this year, even though he doesn't have the votes. Check out Hugh Hewitt's posting today with Townhall for the main senate switchboard and the numbers and addresses of some of the more vulnerable Democrat Senators. If you need more numbers, addresses and emails, Google U.S. Senate.
It's silly season in Washington and we need to exercise our First Amendment rights by pestering the Senatorial Clowns. Suggest to senators or their staffs, if they don't listen to you, to start debate on a new amendment to the Constitution to repeal the 17th Amendment to allow the States to appoint their own Senators again. As Super Representatives who do not represent the people who elected them to office, they should admit their own tendency to mob hysteria, muted by longer terms, and admit they can be replaced by the States in the States House.
The Constitution is designed to slow such tendency of unbound human nature, but it's up to we the Citizens of America to hold the elected clowns in both houses to keep down the idiocy. Unfortunately, we are partly in this situation because of the partisanship of the American Pravda, formerly known as the Old Press, and their ongoing distortion of the news to cover up the lessons of history. The difference is, we, who know more than the usual liberal loon on the street, can ignore most of the dribble from American Pravda; we can't ignore the Congress.
