“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily

Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.

When the Democrats lose the Washingon Post.......
Even the Washington Post admits that:
Read the whole thing. Pass it on.
Obama. Must. Go.
For political reasons, it certainly was in the White House’s interests to not portray the attack as a terrorist incident, especially one that took place on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Instead the administration kept the focus on what was ultimately a red herring — anger in the Arab world over anti-Muslim video posted on You Tube. With key phrases and message discipline, the administration was able to conflate an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Egypt — which apparently was prompted by the video — with the deadly assault in Benghazi.
Read the whole thing. Pass it on.
Obama. Must. Go.

Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and
Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, guns, Bells, Bonfires and
Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time
forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but
I am not. I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it
will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these
States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light
and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And
that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We
should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.

Thick as thieves
Geithner under attack for ‘protecting’ Citi
Tim Geithner, the US Treasury secretary, acted to shield Citigroup’s bondholders and management from accountability at the height of the financial crisis while taxpayers were left on the hook, a former US bank regulator has alleged.Read the rest.
Sheila Bair, who served as chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp during the crisis and its aftermath, levelled fresh attacks at Mr Geithner, the Obama administration, fellow financial regulators and bankers such as Vikram Pandit, Citi’s chief executive, in a new book that has laid bare policy disagreements of the past few years.
Quote of the day
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the
prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and
mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights,
privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought
to enjoy.

UPDATE: via Guy Benson, Politico Poll: Romney Leads on Almost Every Issue, But...
In other words, September polls are extremely volatile. And this year’s volatility is compounded by the late date of the Democratic National Convention. It was, in fact, the latest party convention in US history. And when the polls are bouncing around a lot, the chances are much greater that they will disagree with one another — which is exactly what we’re seeing right now ... So sit tight, politics fans: There’s plenty more to come.

Tax Initiatives attacked by special interst groups
Court set to hear arguments in two-thirds supermajority case:
The state Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday to determine the constitutionality of an initiative that requires a two-thirds supermajority vote of the Legislature to raise taxes.Read the rest here.
Voters have approved the initiative three times, most recently in 2010. It was brought to the ballot by conservative activist Tim Eyman, and is being challenged by a broad coalition of opponents — including the League of Education Voters, Washington Education Association and several state legislators.
The education groups sued to overturn the law, arguing that the initiative hampered the Legislature’s ability to raise revenue for schools. King County Superior Court Judge Bruce Heller agreed with the education coalition, ruling earlier this year that the initiative is a “clear restriction on the Legislature’s power.”

Obama hypocrisy and bias out in the open
Even if they don't admit it, actions do speak louder than words.
Religious groups are blasting President Obama for not condemning am anti-Christian art display set to appear in New York City and one Republican lawmaker said he is “fed up with the administration’s double standard and religious hypocrisy.
“Piss Christ,” once branded as a “deplorable, despicable display of vulgarity,” will be displayed at the Edward Tyler Nahem Gallery in Manhattan on Thursday. The artwork features a “photograph of the crucifix submerged in the artist’s urine.”
The artwork debuted in 1989 and was funded through prize money provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. The art gallery hosting the retrospective salute to Andres Serrano is privately owned.
Religious groups and some lawmakers have already started sounding off – and making comparisons to the controversy over a recent anti-Muslim film. The low budget movie “Innocence of Muslims” sparked violent and deadly clashes across the globe.
More here.
If you wish to contact President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, or the relevant Washington State Congressional Representatives, see the links and information below.
This continued hypocrisy by the Obama Administration is frustrating, but it's important to stay polite and focused. (Addendum, added later) But......DEMAND that the President denounce this "artwork".

Quote of the day
"Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them."
