Senate Majority Leader, Speaker of the House, State of the Union Address

         One could not read too far in these posts over the last six years without coming across my warnings that politics cannot solve our problems in America, that relying on politics, legislation, wars, armies and great weapons, without first humbling ourselves before our creator, sends one on a fool's errand. One could also not read far in these posts without coming across strong political opinion...the very same politics that I write that we cannot depend upon. We have a duty to use our vote to elect wise and honorable leaders as far as we can determine them to be. That duty can also extend into time consuming work for particular candidates and even running for government leadership positions ourselves.
          At times it is hard to distinguish between between 'duty to' and 'reliance upon.' What makes it a little bit easier as far as our Congress and our Executive Office are concerned is that when they outwardly and purposely oppose God's commands to us then it is not just politics. 
          We may act wisely or unwisely, or be patient or impetuous in our efforts, but it is no longer......politics. We are not relying upon what they do or do not do, rather relying upon God's promise to "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 13:5 ESV)  It is with this in mind that I even enter this arena of politics for the rest of this post.

         Conservative Republican senators should attempt to thwart Mitch McConnell's expectation to become the new Senate Majority Leader. A Conservative nominee might not win, but every senator that would vote for Mitch McConnell would later have to acknowledge that they failed to even attempt to stop Barack Obama and that they had little to no discernment as to what the real agenda of the Republican 'establishment' is all about. The same can be said for a challenge to John Boehner as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives

         Over the last few years I wrote posts and contacted members of Congress on the State of the Union address, imploring them to either boycott it or to otherwise make their opposition to Barack Obama known in the House Chamber that evening. It is only a little over two months to the next SOTU address. Now is the time to demand that we put an end to this spectacle. The following post was my from November 22nd of 2013!

Note: Both John Boehner and Mitch McConnell were elected today (Thursday November 13), McConnell by 'acclimation' and Boehner  by a voice vote with only minor reported opposition. Nineteenth century British member of parliament Lord Acton was certainly right...."Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." 

Just Send Over The Report!

          The 2014 State Of The Union Address is scheduled for Tuesday January 21st.  For the past few years I wrote a post in advance of that speech calling for Republicans to use that opportunity to protest by either refusing to applaud anything said from that throne, or even better... to refuse to attend.  I hope to bring this post back regularly, should the Lord will it, over the next month.
          Please think ahead on this! Barack Obama, the man who is systematically and deceptively tearing this nation apart, both within and without, will once again take advantage of the State Of The Union address and, with the media concealing everything about him and revealing none of his schemes, will take over all of the main networks to give him yet another opportunity to deceive those who do not really care what he is doing as long as he fulfills his bargain and gives them what they want for themselves. The Establishment brand of Republican will grumble for the cameras but have a good time afterwards. We should suspend this speech until such time that we have a president, either Democrat, Republican or another party, who we can at least trust his/her words. Even then the pomp and circumstance of this speech should be done away with forever.

          Article II, Section 3 of our Constitution states of our President, He shall from time to time give to Congress Information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. The President is not required to appear in person and give a speech. In fact, President Thomas Jefferson refused to give this report as a speech for he considered it too close to the Speech from the Throne in the monarchical traditions.

         We are ten months past the last State of the Union address where Barack Obama was feted with applause once again but we are now openly in the midst of a coup where every day, every hour, every minute, even every second, more Americans are becoming aware of it.
         I'll give one very recent quote from a Democrat Senator on Harry Reid's new filibuster rule..."There's no reason that changing this to majority rule on appointments will create ill will.....people of good will find ways to work together here." In a way he is right. The filibuster change alone would not be enough to demand an open rebellion, but add to that a purge within the military, a consigliore in the Justice Department, disdain for allies and subservience to enemies, golfing and shooting hoops while America sinks in the muck and mire of a politicized everything, czars directing whole agencies in scripts out of Atlas Shrugged and enough lying and spying to choke uncle Joe Stalin himself.....yes, add to this filibuster cohorts in the media marching in lockstep, judges sent out to do what armies could never do, domestic military preparations to control an unwilling citizenry and bribes in the form of dispensations to the biggest lie of all....the Affordable Healthcare Act.....and it is more than enough and way past time that Republicans formally refuse to shake the hand that shreds our Constitution.

Note: Two days after this post John Boehner invited Barack Obama to give the State Of The Union Address on January 28th with these words: "....we welcome an opportunity to hear your ideas, particularly for putting Americans back to work. It's my honor to invite you to speak before a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 in the House Chamber of the U. S. Capitol Building."
