As a country, Americans voted for CHANGE. Mr. Thomas Sowell has reminded us that we are in the process of getting what we voted for!

Chas, not exactly. It's what we get when we don't find out, because no one ever asked, exactly what kind of change Obama had in mind. We knew, but the media gave him cover, because they knew too.

Last time we got snookered was when no one asked what a compassionate conservative was. We ASSuMEd it was something good. Little did we know it included illegal aliens and a new and huge entitlement program.

Had Obama said he wasn't satisfied with the founding fathers and the Constitution (wait a minute, he did say that but the media never reported it)and that he had no problem in nationalizing private sector businesses and industries, he'd still be in Illinois handing out checks at the unemployment office.

Point is, if he ran on what he is doing now, either Hillary or McCain would be in The White House.

I don't believe that even the 'change' voters expected Barry to dismantle this nation's purpose, liberties or freedoms. Those who voted for Obozzo were dupted by the very media they cling to for their decision-making information. Not enough, yet, watch the Fox News network. This too shall change. the more this fed goes after it, the greater the curiosity.

Obiwannabe swore to uphold, protect and defend the constitution of the United States. When will he be held his oath? When will his actions be considered high crimes and misdemeanors?

I'm with you Gary! Perhaps these sacred oaths don't mean anything any more.

Well, George Bush senior signed the EPA into existence. And its pretty well been downhill from there. The EPA and all the other agencies that are supposed to care about America obviously don't! and ObUma obviously is trying to destroy America with nancy, diane and harrys help!

I fail to understand how the Congress can continue to work toward an unconstitutional Take over of the Health Care in this Country, The Democrats say they are going to do this, the Republicans counter with you can not do that but we thing this can be done, Nothing in the U.S. Constitution authorizes any of the things the Congress ad the President have done to date let alone what they plan to do, and for the most part aside from the Tea Parties there has been no public out cry of wrong doing by the Government.

Mr. Thomas Sowell, is a logical voice in the wildeness of apathy, that is so rampant in todays ignorance, of our Political Responsibility.

AS far as I'm concerned the whole bunch should be kicked to the curb and start over, with people that at least have read the Constitution and understand why they can not do the things the current administration is attempting to do.

Shame on the American People for allowing this degree of apathy to enter into such a degree of decay!

What is left of the Dems appear to be in lockstep with the President along with the "mainstream media". It appears that the President is not the only one that believes that the Constitution should be trashed. How can Congress even consider passing "healthcare" when it is probably unconstitutional? Have the left-coast elites and the Democrat Party sold out to the socialists? If, so, what now?

But, Dann, the left-coast elites (a high school education and perhaps one year of acting school and they're PhDs in political science) and the democrats (small 'd') are the socialists.

Well, despite obozzo and his minions, I'm not going to cash in America just yet. I'm not ready to concede my principles, values, liberties and freedom for some band of progressive pinheaded pimps led by an arguable fellow citizen.

Don't stop reading Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and other loyal Americans. Continue to stand up, stay informed and face the weakness that passes for today's Congressional leadership.

Dann,

The dems are so confused that even their 'spin' isn't resonating with viewers any longer. CNNs ratings are in the tank and the junk that the MSM is slinging just doesn't carry the weight it used to. With record cool temperature flying in the face of the 'warmests', the townhall uprisings, ACORN exposure, the healthcare fiasco and the weak foreign policies it can't help but turn around.

We brought it on ourselves by voting these a**wipes into office to begin with and the real "change" begins next month with run-off and special elections. I'm really looking forward to 11/10!

Americans, you should be ashamed for allowing the destruction of your country - your ancestors are turning in their graves. All the millions who have sacrificed their lives to make this country what it is today and YOU are letting a minority of radicals dictate CHANGE into communism without as much as a peep. Shame on you! Stand up for your country, for your freedom, for your children, for your way of life! Question who these people are, where the money is, what are they doing to you before it is too late. Don't give him any more time - we don't have much time left before there is NO TURNING BACK! You used to be the envy of the world, now you are the butt of jokes! Wake up!

Im happy to see that so many people now are challenging the leadership of our country and the way it is being handled. For so many years we left the running of our country to the elected officials and now we see that it has been too long in their hands. Now its time to vote every incumbant out of office and replace them with conservative leadership that believes in the constitution of this country. Only we can do this. We must stand together and vote. This important vote will be the "term limits" that our current leaders so badly need. What a statement that would be on election day to have the media report that so many officials are out of jobs and sent packing expecially Dodd, Reid, Pelosi and so many more. If we dont do this, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

To the posters above and anyone that reads this, I must ask this very pointed question! Do you really understand that they are Socialist revolutionaries and nothing is going to stop them from their course of action? Do you really understand, I MEAN REALLY, how dangerous these people are? Watch the next election in 2010. It will be corrupted with fraud and they will continue to hold power. Are you willing to sacrifice your livelihood, property, or even your life to insure your country continues to be free? If your answer is yes, then why aren't you in action doing whatever it takes to stop them. If your answer is no, your not willing to sacrifice your livelihood, property, or your life for what you say you believe then that is why this spiral into Socialism continues. I'm not judging anyone, but until we as a free people are willing to do more than go to Tea parties, write letters to our politicians, and blog on the internet we will continue to lose our country to these power hungry thugs. This is not reality TV, or the plot of some Hollywood movie. This is really happening America!

Mark is correct. President Obama views the Constitution as a hindrance and a roadblock, not as a sacred set of laws and protections. He cites the Constitution when it's convenient for him, but the rest of the time he ignores it.

Obama is trying to cripple our economy with his Cap n Tax global warming scheme. Why? It's not to save the planet, folks. The planet is not in any danger. But he does have a reason.

Obama is trying to take control of the minutiae of our lives with Socialized medicine, promising to deliver better care to more people -- for free. Anyone who believes that gets what he deserves. But why would Obama want to do that? Because for Liberals, it's about central planning and deciding what's best for you -- for your own good.

Obama has worked hard to anger our allies, isolate America from our friends, and embolden our enemies. He declared that Iran has a "right" to nukes. He betrayed Poland for Russia. He gave the Queen of England an iPod with his speeches on it. He bowed to a Saudi king, kissed a South American dictator and promised to meet unconditionally with those who have vowed to "wipe Israel off the map." Why?

President Obama views himself not as a citizen of America but as a citizen of the world. He even said as much in Berlin. Therefore he views America as the world views America -- the bad guy, the oppressor, the rich bully, the fat predator victimizing other nations. To such people, the logical answer to American bullying is to weaken America. If America is weaker economically, militarily and politically, the rest of the world gets to compete "fairly" with us for the first time.

That's Obama's goal. That's the motive underlying everything he's done since January 20th.

George Washington upon finishing the oath of office, "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", he added "So help me God." He continued with the words,"I shall take my present leave; but not without resorting once more to the benign Parent of the human race, in humble supplication, that since He has been pleased to favor the American people with the opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquility, and dispositions for deciding with unparalleled unanimity on a form of Government for the security of their union, and the advancement of their happiness, so his devine blessing may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations and the wise measures, on which the success of this government must depend."

Washington had a profound understanding of the office he was to take. It is a shame our elected officials today have forgotten the meaning of their oath and have disgraced their offices. When arguing a bill the first and foremost consideration should be the constitutionality of it. They are arguing over fine details of the same thing. Differing degrees of subverting our liberties for the purpose of buying votes with legislation.

Liberals have always felt that the government knows better than idividuals what is best for all of us. Obama, Reid and Pelosi as well as the rest of the liberal establishment do not care about laws, or the constitution if either impedes their plans to control even mundane aspects of our lives. The only way to slow and /or stop this liberal cancer is to vote them out! The time has come for all concerned Americans to support conservative candiates who will vote to protect the American Way of Life. We have a choice to open our wallets now to preserve our values or do nothing and wait for the liberal masses to come for our wallets and our way of life later.

When is someone going to spell out in so many words what it is we can do to stop this impersonator; this fraud; this traitor to our country? There are no set rules as to the actions taken to rid our country of this garbage. If it isn't done pretty soon, it will be too late. Not only him, but the rest of the vermin occupying the U.S. House of Representatives. My heart breaks for the country I knew growing up. We were poor, but at least we were free to worship our God and Protector and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Let those who know how to stop this vermin begin.

Here in England we experienced this more than ten years ago. All it took was three or four years of preparation by the media, generating a storm of bs over alleged 'problems' with the status quo, ie eighteenyearsofconservativegovernment (the words ran together after a short period of repetition). Then hey presto! A messiah appeared and promised nothing and everything. They even played the song 'Things Can Only Get Better' over and over again. What do we have now? Britain is Balkanised; Britain spends 40% of its money on government. And all the 'problems' of the last genuine government are many times worse.

All of you say take a stand do something about it... I don't like what is going on... fact is it makes my stomach turn and scares the heck out of me!!!! But someone tell me exactly what to do... I am not one to keep up with political stuff nor do I know where to go if I don't like something that is going on... I keep getting emails with petitions...how many of those actually make it to the right place and/or do any good??? I wanna make a difference just don't know where to start!!!

The young and in particular the young college age crowd fell hook line and sinker for Obama's line, along with 98% of the blacks and hispanics in the country, and thanks to ACORN they shoved all votes, legal or not through and that is why we have a liberal socialist as our President.

Only if the Republican party can come up with a viable candidate that could have a chance of restoring our constitutional liberties will we have a chance of stopping this tidal flow.

Comprehensive, conservative and cogent. I am a big fan!
