A Rational Aversion

OK. A post I just read on The Church of the Painful Truth is not news to me, but it is very much on target with my personal passions. What I guess I’m looking for is a discussion here. I’ve asked this before, and y’all just ain’t gettin’ it.

Topic:

Why Is This Happening, Anyway, And Whatever Happened To Jail Time For High Crimes?

Clarification: There is no such thing as a “high crime” in criminal law. I am not a lawyer, thank God, but I read. There are crimes. There are felonies. There are misdemeanors. But in her book “High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” a study on Bill Clinton, Ann Coulter states on about page 257 or so that “High Crimes” is a term that is used in pursuit of impeachment proceedings.

On this point I disagree. Open assaults against the government of this country are a high crime. The government of this country is not the Senate, not the House, not the Courts, and not the Presidency. The Government of this country, the authority of that Government, is nothing more or less than the Constitution. The Constitution was written as a document that defines our rightful contempt for Governance by carefully delineating the authority and limitations of Government agencies and their representatives. Therefore, an open assault against the true, singular government of this country has been and continues to be made by Congress. It’s not just the 110th Congress, but the 110th is the most brazen I’ve seen in memory. And we got us a High Crime brewin’ here.

In light of that, please read on:

SB-1, a direct back-of-the-head shot attempt on the First Amendment, languishes for the time being in the Democrat arsenal. You can bet your silly little ass it’s coming back if you’re of the kind to think it’s gone, too.

The new Congress, in its first 100-hour block, made very clear its intentions, its goals, to criminalize free speech on many fronts. This one (SB-1, Section 220) was blocked by the concerted efforts of a lot of bloggers and new-media types. Blocked, not destroyed.

Now we have House Resolution 254, the “hate crimes” bill reintroduced in Congress and said to be on the “fast track” in the House Judiciary Committee. This was from WorldNetDaily on Wednesday, February 7.

“So what,” you say? Here’s so what. The WND article goes on to say,

“Arlene Elshinnawy, a 75-year-old grandmother of three, and Lynda Beckman, a 70-year-old grandmother of ten—along with nine others—were arrested for sharing their faith on the public sidewalk in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They faced 47 years (the rest of their lives) in jail for spreading the Gospel because of a Pennsylvania ‘hate crimes’ law that is nearly identical to H.R 254,” which is now before Congress.

I just don’t get it. I honestly don’t. Texas Rep (D) Sheila Jackson Lee is a huge sponsor of this resolution, as are many others. Senator Harry Reid (NV) was a heavy sponsor of SB-1, as were many others. I’m surprised McCain didn’t jump on board, but he uncharacteristically didn’t.

So, to the point of discussion I’d like to have: “Officials” have craftily insulated themselves against all sorts of prosecution. But one thing they can be jailed for (any official, not just Dems) is criminal activity. Felonies are a great one.

Think about that. Every member of the federal legislature, every president, and I believe every judge, takes an oath. That’s a verbal contract, and verbal contracts, especially when forged in a formal setting, are as binding as a written contract.

In this oath, also taken on induction by military personnel, words very much to the effect of these words, if not exactly these words, are spoken, “…and I will defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.“

“…and domestic.” How cute. Well, that’s point 1, I guess.

There is a dollar amount, an amount I am unsure of, where petty theft, generally a misdemeanor, becomes grand theft, generally a felony. Maybe it’s not a felony until it hits great big grand theft, but at a certain point theft becomes a felony. Wherever that point rests, these goons pass it the first time they blow their noses in a gummint Kleenex.

Point 2: Nearly every breath these people take constitutes a clear breach of contract. Every paycheck they accept or endorse or whatever they do—cash under the well-worn table, maybe—probably passes the felony level. And receiving payment for services knowingly not rendered due to willful breach of contract is…ok, class, all together…a criminal act!!!

Now: Why do these sons of bitches walk free? I have no idea what the process would be, but why haven’t Barney and Goober gotten an arrest warrant from the Mayberry judge and bagged one of these creeps for criminal prosecution? Just walk right into their Capitol Building offices or whatever other building their offices are in and pop their butt. Shucks, just pick one at random, this is nearly a can’t-miss deal.

Why hasn’t restitution for all monies and benefits received been collected when a jury verdict came in (other than because of the minor detail that there’s never been such a trial–yet). Think of it! If we go back far enough and collect pay, benefits, phone and postage, Secret Service costs, etc., we could do a major number on the national debt!

A Presidential pardon, by the way, would constitute collusion and…oooooooh, the idea!

I know, I know. I’m just a naive Pollyanna. But I defy someone to clearly answer the question. This nation, and our freedoms, are going to hell because of illegal legislation due to the lack of action on your part and my part. Why?!?

I’ve asked this same question a dozen times or more on a dozen sites or more (including my own) and have yet to get an answer. Somebody ’splain to me wazzup wit dat, OK?

One of my favorite bits of humor/truth is this item of unknown origin (to me): “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.” Don’t forget this when a dolt like Rush Limbo, who says there are no conspiracies, tells you you’re being silly to suspect one. Two or more people, be they Senators or dopers (’scuse me), Senators or crooks (’scuse me), Senators or liars (awwww, crud), Senators or other people who plot to do something illegal (or not) are in conspiracy with one another.

The charges could be endless.
