The Wizard of D.C.
By Tammy Derouin
Do we actually have to lose everything, our country and our
freedoms before we realize we were an exceptional people? We have been the EXCEPTION to the rule, unique
among nations, because we are free.
It is absolutely astonishing, mind-blowing, pure insanity
that we have a government funding our enemy. Fourteen years ago the United
States was attacked by those who adhere to radical Islamic beliefs. They hate America and the Western way of
life. Instead of tightening our security
our government has lowered our defenses.
We are much more vulnerable today than we were before we were
attacked.
Our government spends its time harassing innocent Americans
while ignoring the real threat due to unprotected borders. Our homeland should have state of the art
security at every possible entry. Instead,
we have wide open land. We unnecessarily
worry about anniversary attacks and jihadist attacks within our borders.
Our government; the people we elect to protect us and our
interests, at home and abroad, are betraying us. Our government is doing
everything possible to fund our enemy while convincing the population that it’s
all good. We are not privy to what is in
this disastrous nuclear agreement with Iran.
It’s another ‘pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it’ ploy.
Honestly, we fell for their smoke and mirrors on health care
and have witnessed the disastrous results of blindly following the Wizard of
D.C. Are we so blind that we are going
to allow ourselves to be herded like sheep into believing that the Iran nuclear
agreement is a good thing? What kinds of
tactics are being used to nudge our Congressmen into such a catastrophic
agreement?
Our government is prepared to willingly hand over a billion
U.S. taxpayer dollars to the people who chant Death to America and call us the
Big Satan. Our government is about to
become the largest contributor to a country, and its organizations, hell bent
on destroying the United States. We are
beyond mind-blowing or insanity. We have
become suicidal.
We have an elected leader who is leading us down a very dark
and ill-fated path. Radical domestic
groups who insight violence and foreign organizations who wish to destroy us
receive praise and funding. He makes it
easy for anyone to gain access to our country while he hinders the efforts of
border patrol and stirs up racial tension aimed at our police officers.
In Article II, Section 3, our U.S. Constitution states, The
President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States shall be
removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or
other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
The definition of treason is outlined in Article III,
Section 3 of our U.S. Constitution. It
states, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only on levying War
against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
Before entering into the office of President of the United
States, an individual must take the oath of office as stated in the U.S. Constitution,
Article II, Section 1. It states, “I do
solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of
President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Our Constitution has been disregarded. We’ve been on shaky
ground for a long time. Our Congress
pacifies the executive by allowing him to make laws. They have allowed him to make the legislature
irrelevant. The judicial branch no
longer just interprets the law; it re-writes the law to benefit the
executive. We have created tyranny. We have created an all-powerful, one man,
self-serving government.
How does a productive, healthy nation, with super power
status fall victim to anti-American rhetoric?
How did we go from a “can do” and “don’t mess with us” attitude to a
land of entitlements and a government which bows to the will of those who wish
to destroy us? We have a self-inflicted crisis. We began to turn to the government for
assistance in every aspect of our lives instead of being the self-reliant
individuals who built this nation. We
began to cower and gave into political correctness out of fear of being called
racist. The enemy doesn’t care what we
think of them, they want us to lower our defenses so it’s easier to destroy us.
We have created tyranny.
By not standing for what we believe we know to be true, we will fall for
the lies and deception being used to divide, making it easier to conquer.
“I am the state.” “It is legal because I wish it.”
