"[Samuel] Adams warned readers not to get caught up in the respect for high office and the lavish praise that is often bestowed on leaders. "This has led millions into such a degree of dependence and submission." Citizens should place their loyalty with the Constitution. "Whoever, therefore, insinuates notions of government contrary to the Constitution, or in any degree winks at any measures to suppress or even to weak it, is not a loyal man." Samuel Adams: Father of the American Revolution, Mark Puls, pages 29,30

The majority of primaries are about to begin. The call throughout America is "We'll remember in November!" "Vote out all incumbents."

Of course, the one party system consisting of two interconnected criminal syndicates are working over time to see their incumbents go back to Congress to continue the destruction of our constitutional republic. Yes, both parties. There is a lot of talk and blame going around about the "national" debt created by one Outlaw Congress after another for a hundred years. The Democrats had "power" for 40 years before the misnamed "Republican Revolution of 1994," at which time the Republicans took "power" and out spent the Democrats in royal fashion. The people said enough and with the help of electronic ballot machines and scanners, the same rats with a few new faces took "control" of the Outlaw Congress again in November 2006. Shall we take a look at the numbers:

When you hear Republicans yap about "smaller government" and "lower taxes," you can see they believe their own lies because that party had control of Congress for more than a decade and all they did was spend, spend, spend. Government was not reduced. Not a single unconstitutional cabinet was abolished. The Democrats know nothing but higher taxes, big government and redistribution of wealth so one can expect nothing else.

March 15, 2010, A web site recently carried this headline: No Democrat-Controlled Congress Has Balanced Federal Budget in 40 Years; No Republican President Has Balanced Federal Budget in 50 Years

Of course, this is just more double speak. You cannot have a balanced budget when social security and Medicare are "off sheet." Those obligations must still be funded. On or off some sheet of paper, they affect lives.

Those taxing schemes generate tax revenues that go into the general fund of the treasury. Social security is not an entitlement, it is a tax. Congress spends those tax dollars any way they want. There is no such garbage as an SS fund or "lock box." That's why SS and Medicare are $99 TRILLION "dollars" in unfunded mandates. They're insolvent because (1) Ponzi systems always go broke and (2) because those taxes are spent by Congress - then they borrow to cover the hot checks issued every month. How can you say you've balanced your checkbook when you have two double digit trillion ton elephants standing in the middle of the room? TODAY the total outstanding debt is: ONE HUNDRED EIGHT TRILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY TWO BILLION, TWO HUNDRED FORTY TWO MILLION - no make that seven hundred forty four million in the time it took to type this sentence.

You see that national debt above? How many trillions have we the people paid in interest to the privately owned, unconstitutional "Federal" Reserve since 1913 so Congress could borrow their worthless paper to spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend?

Remember what Congressman Wright Patman said:

Congressional Record, September 29, 1941, pgs 7582, 7583

"Now, take the Panama Canal bonds. They amounted to a little less than $50,000,000 - $49,500,000. By the time they are paid the government will have paid $75,000,000 in interest in bonds of less than $50,000,000. So the government is paying out $125,000,000 to obtain the use of $49,500,000. That is the way it has worked all along...

"Now, I believe the system should be changed. The Constitution of the United States does not give the banks the power to create money. The Constitution says that Congress shall have the power to create money, but now under our system we will sell bonds to commercial banks and obtain credit from those banks. We do not receive money for the bonds...

"I believe the time will come when people will demand that this be changed. I believe the time will come in this country when they will actually blame you and me and everyone else connected with this Congress to sit idly by and permit such an idiotic system to continue. I have talked to the Secretary of the Treasury and members of the Federal Reserve Board and other people who are supposed to know about the money system of our country.

"They know this can be done easily and conveniently, and it will save money; but their one reply is, "It will have a bad psychological effect." Well, I do not think it would have a bad psychological effect to save the people 50 per cent of their national debt. I do not think it would have a bad psychological effect to save the people over a billion dollars a year in interest. I do not think it would. It certainly would have a bad effect on the people who are collecting interest on the Government's money."

Let's talk about incumbents.

Michelle Bachmann [R - MN]. She's become the darling of the right. Quite frankly, she scares me to death as a loose cannon who speaks of nothing but more Band Aids. I would love to debate her on the issues any day of the week - especially on taxation and our monetary system. On her web site, she says she understands, having been a tax attorney, how complicated the tax code is, blah, blah, blah. "Simplification of the tax code" is more meaningless drivel. No where does she take on abolishing the FED and it's feeding artery, the IRS. It's apparent she knows next to nothing about our monetary system and the catastrophic mess building to a crescendo. Bachmann apparently has no concern the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan are illegal and immoral. Today, five more American GI's died for nothing in Afghanistan.

Bachmann has taken the constitutional position on many issues, but she never addresses the origin of the problem, just more Band Aids. Gov. Tim Pawlenty [R-MN] and Saint Sarah Palin have both endorsed vile cretin, Juan McCain. Bachmann appears to be on the same garbage truck. It doesn't mean she's not a "nice" person, because I'm sure Mrs. Bachmann is, but this isn't a popularity contest. It's about the survival of this republic, not more business as usual.

How about old J.D. Hayworth running for McCain's senate seat in Arizona? Hayworth never got the job done while in Congress before, so what makes you think he even knows the solutions now?

It goes without saying that McCain is a scoundrel, liar and worse for having sold out our POW/MIAs. In the entire State of Arizona, the only candidate the "party" can come up with is a loser from Congress to seek McCain's seat?

John McCain armed Kosovo Islamic terrorists - McCain sold out our POW/MIAs. There can be no forgiveness for what he has done to our precious military personnel left behind. DVD, Missing: Presumed Dead.

Fellow POW’s say John McCain Was a Coward and a Traitor in Viet Nam - There are two short video clips every American, vet, active duty or civilian - you will see the real John McCain. I know that very honorable men like Col. Bud Day, himself a POW, defend McCain, but the facts speak for themselves.

Oh, believe me, I have no choice here in my congressional district, either. The worthless Randy Neugebauer [R-TX] won our primary March 2nd. Barring some disaster, Mr. Know Nothing will go right back to DC in January. Everyone is so happy with his big government spending voting record and lack of knowledge of the cancers eating away at this country, they are going to reward him with another trip to Congress.

Sen. Jim DeMint is quite popular with conservatives. Oh, boy, don't you dare criticize him! But, the real and only question is: Has DeMint ever introduced the bills needed to kill the cancers eating this country or does he just complain about the liberal Democrats and continue voting for the budgets? That is the hard question you have to ask yourself about these incumbents. DeMint was in the House of Representatives from 1999-2005 before he became a senator. Show me one bill he has introduced to abolish money eating, unconstitutional cabinets, programs or abolish the head of the beast, the FED? Where is his bill to get us out of Bretton Woods and all these foreign financial entanglements now killing we the people? Where? Show me.

Mad Max Waters [D-CA] is a heroine to all the welfare mobs down in LA. Charlie Rangel [D-NY] defines what Taylor Caldwell so brilliantly wrote in her book, Dear and Glorious Physician. The mobs want the fruits of your labor and both parties have been stealing from all of us to give to them longer than I've been alive. Dozens and dozens of incumbents in Congress have been there 25, 30 or more years. Sen. Robert Byrd has been on the public payroll for 51 YEARS. How absurd.

The answer is no. There is a bill in Congress right now, our first real shot at getting us out of NAFTA and bringing home millions of jobs for Americans. H.R. 4759 was introduced by Rep. Gene Taylor [D-MS]. A few republicans have signed on, but I don't hear any "conservative" talk show hosts or boob tube anchors like Sean Hannity even talking about this important bill. NAFTA destroyed millions of jobs. Rush Limbaugh cheered on passage; Newt Get-rich made sure it got passed. I don't hear a peep out of either one of them. Rep. John Boehner [R-OH] voted for that job killing bill, but I feel confident he will win his primary and go back to DC to continue introducing and/or voting for Band Aids. He loves to get in front of the boob tube and ask "Mr. President, where are the jobs?" What a hypocrite.

Jim DeMint voted for CAFTA. Another sickening "free" trade treaty that will continue to keep American jobs out of this country while employing people in South America. SHAME on him. South Carolina used to hum with textile production. South Carolinians were employed in steady, good paying jobs. All those treaties have devastated states like Ohio, PA and SC, yet "conservatives" think DeMint walks on water for killing jobs and doing nothing to return them to his state. South Carolina's unemployment rate is 12.2%. Take that to the ballot box.

The demand to get it H.R. 4759 passed should be deafening in this country with 26 MILLION Americans unemployed.

Have any of the above or any incumbents in Congress ever introduced and fought for a bill to remove us from Bretton Woods, no more TRILLIONS to the IMF, BIS and foreign "aid" to any foreign country?

Zero. Now, the point of mass default is seeping out of Europe and the Outlaw Congress expects us to bail out foreign countries like Greece via our "contribution" to the IMF - 25%. By refusing to sever all financial agreements that steal the life blood of this nation from our people and into the pockets of greedy bankers, Congress has ensured we will be dragged down with the rest of the global sewage.

Ron Paul in 2007. Zero sponsors. All cowards too afraid to take on the banking cartels.

Congressman Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill sat for a very long time before the opportunists in Congress, smelling trouble for mid term elections, decided they should probably join the line. Only massive heat from we the people and the bank melt down in 2008 finally got those gutless cowards to sign on to the bill. Traitors like Chris Dodd and Bernie Sanders shot it full of holes in the Senate.

That is a private organization, not a government and our participation is treasonous and illegal under our constitution. The fruits of our labor are stolen to the tune of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF BORROWED "DOLLARS" for membership. To do what? Not a damn thing, but drag us even further into foreign entanglements, robbing us of our sovereignty.

How about abolishing the unnecessary, freedom destroying Department of Fatherland Security. First run by a very evil man named Michael Chertoff, and now by the incompetent Janet (the man) Napolitano. That monstrous cabinet wastes tens of billions of BORROWED "dollars" to do what? Not a damn thing except one mess after another. Now, this wasteful monster is trying to seize land belonging to an American for no justifiable reason:

One. Congressman Ron Paul. He introduced two bills; one in 2000 and one in 2001. Both times the Democrats, who care so much about American workers, and Republicans who were pushing us towards Fascism, ignored the bills and they simply died.

One. Congressman Ron Paul. You would have thought the SEIU would have jumped on that bill and forced passage with the Democrats in power. Nope. The union bosses remained mute while their millions of members continued to be taxed to death. The Republicans ignored it like the plague because they also really, really care about American workers.

How about abolishing the unconstitutional, massive HHS (Health and Human Services) which is nothing but a $800 BILLION dollar rip off? Massive theft that has done nothing but drain the life blood of our country and breed dependence upon mother government.

Not one.

The EPA is about to try to shove job killing regulations down our throats over the hoax called global warming. Congress sits impotent. Who is wagging who's tail?

Instead, all of them just keep playing the game of how much of the fruits of our labor to throw at these illegal entities. All hot checks since the people's purse is overdrawn just shy of $13 TRILLION as I write this. America was prosperous WITHOUT all these welfare style agencies and cabinets. A once self-reliant, independent people have been lured into massive government programs that simply cannot be sustained and we are better off without.

Losses keep piling up for Freddie Mac. February 24, 2010. "Freddie Mac lost almost $26 billion last year, ominous news for taxpayers who are footing the bill to rescue the mortgage finance company and its sibling Fannie Mae. Freddie Mac, which has lost a total of almost $80 billion since the housing crisis started in 2007, is bracing for more pain. The McLean, Va.-based company said a record 4 percent of its borrowers are at least three months behind on their payments and facing foreclosure. Its chief executive, Charles Haldeman, warned Wednesday of a "potential large wave of foreclosures" still to come."

Fannie, Freddie bleeding. May 12, 2010. "Home mortgage giant Fannie Mae has again asked taxpayers for more money after reporting a first-quarter loss of more than $13 billion. The outfit said Monday that it needs an additional $8.4 billion from the government. Fannie Mae says it lost $13.1 billion, or $2.29 per share, in the January-March period of 2010. That takes into account $1.5 billion in dividends paid to the Treasury Department.

"And the recession is supposed to be over?

"Late last year, the Obama administration pledged to cover unlimited losses through 2012 for Freddie and Fannie, lifting an earlier cap of $400 billion. The rescue of Fannie Mae and sister company Freddie Mac is turning out to be one of the most expensive aftereffects of the financial meltdown. The new request for aid will bring Fannie Mae's total to $83.6 billion, the total bill for the duo to nearly $145 billion.

"Wow. The most expensive bailout of all? Guess that's why Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are targeted for the most heavy-handed restructuring and scrutiny, imposing a mold-breaking "brand new way of doing business" under Sen. Chris Dodd's controversial new Senate financial reform bill, right? Um ... no. In fact, the Senate "financial reform" package doesn't mention Fannie or Freddie at all."
