PROVOCATION

Have you abdicated your conservative values?
By Morris L. Clopton, 5 May 2009

 Have you abdicated your conservative values?  Do you kneel at the foot of the throne of liberalism?

 Do really want the United States government in control of our automobile industry?  Have you considered what it means to have the President of the United States as the chief car salesperson instead of the Commander and Chief of our military forces? President Obama stated directly that he is “going to cut Wall Street in half”.  That is ridiculous when our free enterprise system used its wealth and power to elect President Obama. It is extremely important that you recall your history and demand that capitalism continue to abound in the United States.

 Your conservative values are under assault when the government passes laws describing your fundamental beliefs as hate crimes.  The law will make it unlawful for your pastor to preach truths from the bible concerning specific sins.  You must stand up for what you believe and act as one of “we the people”.  Write, telephone, fax, or email your local, state, and US congressional representative and senators tell them what you stand for and demand that each one of them represent your views with their vote.  A smarter man than me made the following statement:
“To reach a port we must sail, sometimes
with the wind, and sometimes against it.
But we must not drift or lie at anchor.”

Do not set at anchor, it is imperative that conservative individuals act on their beliefs.  The value system established upon truth, honest, integrity, individual rights, state rights, are ours only as long as we demand them.  We allow extreme liberalism to seep into our mindset seductively and covertly through absolute untruths and assaults against our constitutional rights.  The media is determined to undermine every facet of our fundamental conservative beliefs by supporting government control of each minute of our lives.

To stand up for conservative values opens you up to labels as a “terrorist, uneducated redneck, and militiaman.  The reality however is that conservative values encourage more education, taking a stand on upholding the Constitution of the United States, and the Declaration of Independence with a fierce independence of will.

Take note of what one of our greatest presidents had to say about separation of powers in government.
The End of Federalism

Addressing Congress on the State of the Union, President Ronald Reagan told the American people in 1982:

“Our citizens feel they’ve lost control of even the most basic decisions made about the essential services of government, such as schools, welfare, roads, and even garbage collection. And they’re right. A maze of interlocking jurisdictions and levels of government confronts average citizens in trying to solve even the simplest of problems. They don’t know where to turn for answers, who to hold accountable, who to praise, who to blame, who to vote for or against. The main reason for this is the overpowering growth of Federal grants-in-aid programs during the past few decades.”

The costs of the loss of federalism to the American people are real. As Reagan outlined above, federal aid to states blurs the lines of government accountability, making it easy for politicians to sneak in government-growing legislation and hard for voters to hold those politicians accountable. Moreover, as states become more dependent on federal funding, they begin to lose their ability to set priorities and make policy decisions that are best-suited to their specific needs. Finally, sending money to Washington, only so that it can later come back to the states, creates a fiscal detour of inefficiency and inequity.first inaugural address: “All of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government.”

A Leviathan-sized federal government able to dictate state policies through power of the purse is not what the Founders had in mind. As Reagan said in his

Look at what our present government is doing in economic intervention:
Commenting on the White House’s Chicago-style negotiations with Chrysler’s creditors, The Atlantic’s Megan McArdle writes:

[W]hen did it become the government’s job to intervene in the bankruptcy process to move junior creditors who belong to favored political constituencies to the front of the line? … these people lent money under a given set of rules, and now the government wants to intervene in our extremely well-functioning (and generous) bankruptcy regime solely in order to save a favored Democratic interest group.

President Obama has a cabinet made up of Who’s Who in the realm of questionable honesty and integrity. Individuals who have made a mockery of conservative values and seek to disavow any rights you may have as a citizen of the United States under the Constitution.  This is just the appointed cabinet members.  President Obama’s kitchen cabinet is an elite group of individuals consisting of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Christopher Dodd, Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, and Franklin D. Raines.  These individuals are on record as stating their goals to destroy conservatives.
Do not abdicate your conservative values!

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Mr. Obama:

I have had it with you and your administration.  Your conduct on
Your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an
adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally.

You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America.  You are responsible to the citizens of the United States.  You are not responsible to the people of any other Country on earth.

I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world.  What do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about, if not the Consideration of the people of Europe?  Are you unaware history?  What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about?  Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?

Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States Does not consider itself a Christian country?  Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage.  Do you not understand this?

Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is a disgrace to all
Americans.  Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the King of Saudi Arabia.  You fail to show Great Britain, our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the King of Saudi Arabia.  How dare you Mr. Obama!  How dare you!

You cannot find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you do not want to offend the Germans, but you make time to visit a Mosque in Turkey.  You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German People from themselves.  That is despicable!

I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be apologizing to every citizen of this country for your lack of knowledge.

You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the
American automobile manufacturers, yet you do nothing about the real Thieves in this situation, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses.  What do you intend to do about them?  Anything?  I seriously doubt it.

To make matter worse, you call the Dow Jones Averages just a “tracking poll” while most retired workers in this country, whose life savings are invested there, Must swallow the loss of half of what they spent a lifetime saving for their final days! It was an obscene remark and one that clearly shows your lack of understanding for the economic situation that you are making worse every day.  Nobody has given them A few more dollars in their paychecks…what a joke!

What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members – on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay Raises those lawmakers gave themselves?  I understand the average House Aide got a 17% bonus.  The average worke took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with their employer.  You have not said anything about that.  Who authorized that? I surely did not!

Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210
Million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that is $45 million more than the AIG bonuses.  In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million – not a bad take.   Who authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this Group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right Now.

I resent that you take my fellow citizens and me as brain-dead and not caring about what you do.  We are watching everything you are doing and we are being increasingly fed up with all of you.  I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities.  I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beloved country.

Sincerly,

Morris Clopton
