CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS

Sometimes liberals help US in our fight against THEM! Every now and then one of the idiots will open their mouths and say something so stupid, so absolutely ignorant, that it's a "youtube" moment. Consider what the mental midget and uber-lib Tom "Barkin" Harkin yammered back in January 2010, on ObummerKare.

"What this bill does is we finally take that step. As our leader said earlier, we take that step from healthcare as a privilege to healthcare as an inalienable right of every single American citizen."

Actually, Tom, it's UNalienable, which is the legal version of INalienable. (And you're a LAWYER?)

From the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

All men are endowed with certain UNALIENABLE rights.

Unalienable, adj. - incapable of being repudiated or transferred to another; "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights."

So our Founding Fathers so cherished individual rights, not group rights, not the rights of the collective, but INDIVIDUAL rights, that they literally started off their (and our) Declaration of Independence to King George of Britain with that sentence. We are granted by our Creator, certain UNalienable right Tom, not the US Congress or Senate. Indeed, Tom, note that our Founding Fathers used a capital "C" in Creator, denoting that they held the Creator to be real. An entity. A viable life form. A belief that the "Creator" was a deity responsible for creating the universe and thus, mankind. The Creator HIMSELF gave us those rights. We have the God-given right to pursue Life, Liberty, and our Happiness. Congress does not create life, no, rather, they suck the life OUT of America and Americans through their excessive taxation and regulation. In fact, Tom, the only life Congress gives is to NEW TAXES or NEW entitlement programs for their democrat followers and illegal aliens.

And while we're on the subject of Congress (and the Senate) Tom, let the Gunny remind you that YOU derive your powers from "the consent of the governed." Now since you have such a hard time understanding the word "unalienable", the Gunny will break it down for you in a nutshell. You, Tom, work for us. You, Tom, are answerable to us. And guess what? You ain't measuring up.

We the people, Tom, DO NOT WANT your damned ObummerKare. In fact, we want LESS government, not more. However, YOU and your fellow progressive socialist elites seem to be deaf in that regard. So let the Gunny discuss another particularly important sentence in the above excerpt:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it."

What that means, Tom, is that when you piss us off enough, when you ride roughshod over us enough, when you disregard us, ignore us, and downright trample on our rights, WE the PEOPLE have the RIGHT to replace you. Peacefully it is hoped but with force if necessary.

Tom, as a liberal, there can be no doubt of your abject ignorance and willful disregard of the Constitution and what it means but to the American people, it is still a sacred document and the words of our Founding Fathers still ring true. For example, Tom, Patrick Henry stated: "The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government." That means that things like welfare, social suckurity, the Slaughter Rule, mandated health care, etc, are UNconstitutional. In other words, you and the other liberals in the Congress and the Senate are, in a few words, breaking the frigging law of the land.

You see Tom, you and the other liberals are completely and totally out of step with what our Founding Fathers desired for government. For example, Thomas Jefferson stated in his First Inaugural Address:

"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity."

The government shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. Wow, what a concept huh Tom? Yet, you and your fellow liberals TAX the hell out of corporations and then wonder why they leave the US for foreign contries and better tax havens, taking JOBS with them. Like, duh.

Tom, you and your fellow liberals, along with your RINO henchmen (yes, they are every bit as guilty as you are) have trampled on Americans, our rights, and exceeded your authority for far too long. For example, who the HELL is the Congress to involve themselves in steroids in baseball? To investigate CEO's for making a profit? Personally Tom, had the Gunny been the CEO of say Ford, and you morons called for me to testify, the Gunny would have told you to get stuffed, as the Brits put it.

Thomas Jefferson laid out EXACTLY your duties:

"To let the National Government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations. The State Governments with the Civil Rights, Laws, Police and administration of what concerns the State generally. The Counties with the local concerns, and each ward direct the interests within itself. It is by dividing and subdividing these Republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations until it ends in the administration of everyman's farm by himself, by placing under everyone what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best."

Now the Gunny knows that as a lib, as a progressive, as a statist, as a lackey for wannabe emperor Barry Soetoro, you may not understand that very well so the Gunny will explain it to you.

In a simple sentence, let the frigging states run their own affairs. Liberals like yourself LOVE to refer to the fact that federal law supercedes state law but nothing could be further from the truth. The Tenth Amendment, Tom, gives all power NOT specifically designated to the Feds (by the Constitution), to the States and namely the people. So Tom, you and your fellow liberals are wrong with ObummerKare and just about every other law that you've passed without our consent, that seeks to limit us, tax us, regulate us, that takes the bread out of our mouths, and money out of our pockets, to pay for your damned Nanny State.

Senator Tom Harkin, YOU are NOT my Creator. Congress is NOT my Creator. The Senate is NOT my Creator. And neither is the Narcissistic Nitwit in the White House. YOU and the Federal Government DO NOT give us ANY rights as OUR rights come from God, Jehovah, Buddha, Allah, whatever and whomever one's Creator is. THAT is where our rights come from. YOU and your fellow liberals CANNOT take them away, now or ever.

In closing Tom, the Gunny would like to leave you with one quote from Thomas Jefferson and one from Sam Adams. First, Thomas Jefferson stated:

"This is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering... And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." Thomas Jefferson

That is where you have us now. You and your myrmidons have brought America to the edge of ruin with your vast entitlement programs and excessive taxation.

Sam Adams wrote (probably in a vision of today's Congress/Senate/POTUS):

"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."

You'll have to figure that one out on your own Tom but you're seeing it happen right now.
