Joseph McCarthy warned of communist infiltration in the 1950s after the Second World War had been fought against fascism and totalitarianism

“THIS IS TYRANNY”

Dear Patriots:

Allen West said that 80 of the Democratic members of Congress belong to the Communist Party; that 70 are Socialists; not exactly communists, but you really can’t be sure.  However, they are members of the American legislature that are “card-carrying Marxists, a claim that echoed Joe McCarthy‘s unsubstantiated 1950s charges that communists had infiltrated the top ranks of the U.S. government. “The Communist Party has publicly referred to the Progressive Caucus as its allies,” said Angela Melvin, a spokeswoman for West. “The Progressive Caucus speaks for itself. These individuals certainly aren’t proponents of free markets or individual economic freedom.”

How many of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members sit on the Judiciary Committee?  Eleven: John Conyers [Chairman of the Judiciary Committee], Tammy Baldwin, Jerrold Nadler, Luis Gutierrez, Melvin Watt, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Steve Cohen, Barbara Lee, Robert Wexler, Linda Sanchez [there are 23 Democrats on the Judiciary Committee of which eleven, almost half, are now members of the DSA].

A Washington Post-ABC News poll reported that only 40% of Americans believe the Supreme Court Justices’ ruling on ObamaCare will be based on law rather than ideology.  And that same poll revealed American support for ObamaCare has reached record depths.

Liberty Counsel reports:

But nothing that has recently come to light could be more disturbing than the knowledge that Mr. Obama, with a single Executive Order, granted himself the power “to commandeer all U.S. domestic resources, including food and water, as well as seize all energy and transportation infrastructure inside the borders of the United States.”

And that, based on an ill-defined condition of national emergency, the Government can now draft U.S. citizens into the military and force U.S. citizens to fulfill “labor requirements” for the purposes of “national defense.”

This is tyranny!

Our forefathers fought and died to overcome this very type of oppression from condescending, arrogant members of the English Parliament and their King.

Our Constitution was designed to prevent the abuse of power by any one person or branch of government.  It defines and limits the powers of the federal government and binds its officers with the restraints of checks and balances.

No wonder those opposed to our values have launched such an aggressive assault on the Constitution – it’s the only thing holding them back from establishing the Socialist States of America!

These tyrannical actions must be stopped NOW!

Based on the Liberty Counsel team’s response to my first message on the recent Executive Order – and the outrage that many of you are sharing with me – we have all had ENOUGH!

Equally we are seeing qualifying results that are alarming, such as the Federal Government commandeering  our County Sheriffs.  The most shocking was the threat to Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Delaware Sheriff Christopher.  Virginia just overwhelmingly passed a law that prevented the federal government from taking over Virginia law enforcement and National Guard.  We the people do not believe that our own military would turn against fellow citizens.  Therefore, Obama has threatened to use One World Order and the UN Police.  Evidence of that is supported by a recent report by a US ammunition manufacturer to produce an extraordinary amount of ammunition.

The cost of gas and oil, along with shortages, would control energy and transportation, further supporting the notice from Liberty Counsel and notices regarding martial law along with Obama’s Executive Orders giving him power over Congress to control anything or anybody.

The South Florida Tea Party is urging citizens to protest a local representative who will discuss Democrats’ plans for socialized health care only with members of a retiree union and not the wider group of South Florida residents he represents.

Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Boca Raton, will speak Aug. 20 at 1 p.m. at the South County Civic Center at a health care forum sponsored by the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans. The nonprofit is affiliated with the AFL-CIO and is a proponent of the Affordable Health Choices Act, President Obama’s legislation to overall the nation’s health care system and create a government-run health insurance plan.

Admission to the 500-seat event requires FLARA membership as well as a ticket, and questions for Wexler must be submitted in writing. FLARA President Tony Fransetta told local media that he intends to ensure union members won’t lose seats to opponents of the health care plan.

Regardless, Tea Party Patriots encourage non-FLARA members to try and attend the forum and demand answers from Wexler in a nondisruptive manner.

“Why will Wexler only meet with unions and not all the people he represents?” asked SFTP President Everett Wilkinson. “He is only preaching to the choir and ignoring the concerns and needs of the people who elected him.

“If he won’t have an open public town hall on health care or meet with everyone who will be affected by the Affordable Health Choices Act, he is not doing his job or putting voters first. We demand more respect and the right to be heard.”

Rep. Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton, is also scheduled to attend the forum, while Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Tequesta, declined to participate because of a scheduling conflict.

What: Health care forum sponsored by the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans.
When: Aug. 20 at 1 p.m.
Where: The South County Civic Center, 16700 Jog Road, Delray Beach.

Daria DiGiovanni, blogger for Palin Drone, attended the July 2 Health Care Freedom Rally in Boca Raton and gave us her account of how she braved the elements with other citizens concerned about the plan for the government takeover of our health care system:

In spite of the typical South Florida summer downpour, a devoted group of approximately 40 patriots gathered outside Congressman Robert Wexler’s office, located in the Crystal Corporate Center on Military Trail in Boca Raton. Elaine Laffey, my fellow Smart Girl Politics activist and Facebook buddy, did an excellent job coordinating today’s event. I should point out, I was a bit surprised to discover the congressman’s office was located in such an upscale building — you know, the kind that houses all of those eeeevil corporations the Democrats are always harping about.

When we arrived at 3 p.m., there were a scant few people milling about the parking lot, but within minutes, the size of our group nearly quadrupled. As we were preparing to go onto the sidewalk, we noticed a group of socialized medicine/Wexler supporters, all of whom appeared to be senior citizens. When Elaine approached them to say hello and introduce herself, the greeting one gentleman offered in response summed up the difference between the left and the right better than any conservative ever could: “Why are you talking to us? We’re the enemy!” he exclaimed in a caustic tone. Elaine promptly rebutted, “You’re not my enemy, sir. We just have a fundamental disagreement on this issue.”

With that, most of us quietly moved away from them to take our assigned places on the sidewalk, but my friend and die-hard patriot Ellen Snyder stuck around for a while to argue; as expected, her valid points fell on deaf ears. And during the emotionally charged exchange, one guy actually wagged his finger in her face, obnoxiously claiming he was supporting Obamacare “for your child” and erroneously assuming that Ellen, who has worked in the medical industry her entire career, had no idea what she was talking about. Gotta love these tolerant liberals!

Anyway, I suppose Wexler does indeed fancy himself an untouchable CEO, because Elaine and I encountered much resistance when we peacefully approached the building, intent on paying his staff members a friendly visit (Wexler, we were later told, was in Israel) so that they could inform their boss of our strong opposition to nationalized health care.

First, we were stopped by a local cop, a very nice gentleman who gave us his blessing once we explained our purpose (he wanted to make sure we weren’t bringing any signs with us, which would have been a violation).

However, the arrogant building security team was another matter entirely. Three different guards stopped us rather rudely as we made our way to the lobby; undeterred, we kept going, reminding them that Congressman Wexler is a public servant, and thus accountable to his constituents.

By the time we got to the third one, she was poised and ready with a walkie-talkie, presumably to warn Wexler’s staff that two right wing extremists were on their way. In a tone of sheer condescension, she announced, “That is a private office!” Undaunted we replied, “Congressman Wexler works for us, and we have every right to stop by and let him know how we feel about this issue,” before stepping into the glass elevator.

As we ascended to the fourth floor (Suite 490), we watched as the guard then whipped out her walkie talkie and presumably issued an urgent warning to Wexler’s staff. Once inside, we were greeted politely (if somewhat stiffly) but, as directed, wrote out our grievances on the forms provided. Interestingly enough, these forms, which featured the seal of the U.S. Congress at the top, requested a social security number in a line at the bottom, along with the typical information (name, address, etc). Neither of us filled it in.

Back outside, I asked Ellen to contact talk radio host Joyce Kaufman (who was currently broadcasting live) and apprise her of what had just transpired. Although there were several other callers in queue, Ellen’s call was bumped to the front of the line. Once informed, an angry Joyce publicized the incident on the airwaves. By the time Ellen and other protestors paid a visit to the congressman’s office, the phones were ringing off the hook, with solicitious staffers assuring irate callers that of course their office was open to the public! Power to the people, baby.

One other observation: Military Trail is a heavily trafficked street, and this particular intersection is extremely busy. Our friends from the other side stood at an opposite corner, holding up signs in support of Wexler and Obamacare. But as far as I could tell, we were the only ones who received numerous honks of approval, most notably from every trucker who happened to drive by. We even got media coverage from the Sun-Sentinel and the local ABC affiliate (Patrick Laffey, Elaine’s husband, also took video of several of us, including yours truly). I honestly believe most people are starting to wake up and smell the coffee. And that’s a very good thing for America.

Thank you to every patriot who stood out in the rain with us today! Special mention to the 9/12-ers, especially Shannon and Doug and their family; congressional candidate for Congress and Wexler challenger Ed Lynch; the Smart Girl Politics team and once again, to Patrick and Elaine Laffey. This weekend: TEA PARTIES!
