I'd have to argue the republic fell with FDR. Amongst other abuses:

Article 1: Section 10: "...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts..." but he stole our gold.

Amendment 10: If anything were broad enough to give congress the power to create social security, the most expensive program in the history of the world, would they have bothered with "the power to establish a post office" or "the power to set units of weight and measure"?

And for you liberals, president Bush's power to hold people without trial comes from FDR's treatment of the Japanese during WW2.

Seneca| 3.17.10 @ 7:12PM

Agreed. Where in the Constitution is there a warrant permitting the federal government to require all citizens to "buy" old age insurance? It's not there. However, the perversion of the Constitution that allowed Social Security to start up, as the ultimate Ponzi scheme, has paved the way for ObananaCare.

At least with Social Security what you get out (provided that you retired before the program's insolvency) bear some relation to what you put in. With ObananaCare, the stated objective of the proponents is to have the "filthy rich" pay the freight for the rest of us. Problem A: That's theft. Problem B: There are not enough "filthy rich" to do that.

Please won't someone do the research into Medicare's original payment schedule. The cost of all medicine today goes back to that. Prices had to be raised to survive.

Howard| 3.17.10 @ 7:49AM

I'm surprised Obama isn't going one step further; declaring a "national emergency" , requiring him to assume complete power, until things return to "normal".

Dixie Pixie| 3.17.10 @ 1:23PM

???? John Brown ????

If memory is serving me well wasn't John Brown an abolitionist lunatic and career terrorist. Did he not massacre anyone who disagreed with him. Didn't he try to start a black slave insurrection by raiding the Harpers Ferry Armory. Apparently the slaves had more sense than to follow this lunatic.

Not the best of role models.

Mark MacInnis| 3.17.10 @ 2:48PM

Actually, John Brown was a passionate, committed man, whose zeal in abolishing slavery lead to the emancipation proclamation. He personally did not kill anyone during the Harper's Ferry raid, indeed, stopped his followers from shooting back at townsfolk who went berserk and killed many of his followers in cold blood. I recently read a well-written and finely researched book on the raid and it's aftermath. If he were alive today, I am convinced he would be a TEA-party member and leading the fight against the tyranny we face today.

Dixie Pixie| 3.17.10 @ 4:36PM

Greetings Mark

I am not trying to debate the events leading up to the “Last Great Unpleasantness”. The term is what my beloved great aunts called the “Civil War”. The events are over 160 years ago and thus a really dead issue.

I am just pointing out John Browns career is viewed in a different light down here in the “Deep South”. View points change depending on which side of the Mason-Dixon line one was born in. Down here John Brown is still viewed as a violent abolitionist lunatic.

The Tea Party movement would do well to avoid John Browns example. To be successful a movement must avoid violent insurrection at all cost. After all the US government has a top of the line military and police forces and spends more on them than the next 5 countries combined. So a John Brown insurrection does not have a chance then or now.

Let me repeat, John Brown is not the best of role models.
Ronald Reagan is a much better role model.

Bilwick| 3.18.10 @ 10:37AM

Wasn't Brown also responsible for the massacre of some real or suspected pro-slavery people in Bleeding Kansas?

Obama, our real-life "Manchurian Candidate", has clearly revealed himself, in his words and actions, as a traitor to our U.S. Republic. Contempt for the U.S. Constitution, contempt for our rule of law, contempt for U.S. citizens and long-held allies around the world...This guy needs to be impeached and thrown out of office.

Howard| 3.21.10 @ 8:09PM

Agreed. Unfortunately it is too late. We took the "blue pill", or is it the "red Pill' from The Matrix. The Socialists have won. Next step 30 million illegals to be given citizenship. All loyal Democrats to be. Full welfare, health coverage, food stamps. WHO IS JOHN GALT?

Deborah D| 3.17.10 @ 8:52AM

There is no scarier time in my memory of our republic than now. I've often said we experienced a bloodless coup this past election. The things they're trying to ram through before the election this year are massive and life-changing. Every roadblock should be put in their way. Come on, Republicans and normal Democrats, this is our country we're talking about.

I hope AmSpec doesn't prevent this post of mine from publishing. I'm becoming disillusioned with this site.

Deborah D| 3.17.10 @ 9:20AM

Our only hope at this time is that what I call "normal" Democrats (not leftists) stick to their guns and don't allow Pelosi and her Obama mob to convince them to jump off the cliff with them. I believe there are some Democrats who are finally waking up to see where the country is headed and don't want to go there any more than we do. That, I'm sure, if any have been awakened, has been done by the persistence of the Tea Partiers.

MTB| 3.17.10 @ 5:03PM

I think you're right, tailgunner, they are out there. They helped sweep the One into office, but it was on false promises and outright lies. They were disillusioned, but I do not believe they are anymore. I think they are in a state of shock, but when they come to themselves, they will side with all freedom-loving Americans and throw these progressive, Marxist, dictatorial morons out of office. My mantra is to vote out EVERY democrat. Everyone of them. Good or bad, send this damn party a message that we will never entrust them with our rights and our country again.

Ron| 3.19.10 @ 3:51AM

A coup? I think we've simply allowed a system where half the population can vote in benefits or those who promise them while having no skin in the game themselves. A coup indicates a stolen office. Obama, Pelosi and their ilk were handed the power to destroy this country on a silver platter. They didn't need to steal it.

bun| 3.17.10 @ 9:32AM

I realized when John McCain became a candidate that the republican party was broken. I am now realizing, with obama, that the democrat party is broken. Republicans have begun to heal with the tea parties. Democrats are soon to follow. Do you realize that the tea parties are 35% democrat? Normal Americans love this country, no matter what political party they are in. We now have radicals in the white house, liberal progressives. They go beyond any normal democrat I know and love. I was a repblican, but changed to independant. We all need to band together and begin to heal from the festering sewer that lives in the white house.

Alarm1201| 3.17.10 @ 9:40AM

Where did you get that stat about 35% of tea parties being democrat? Not doubting you just want to be able to back it up.

Deborah D| 3.17.10 @ 10:09AM

Hey bun -- I know there are Democrats in the Tea Parties. These are JFK Democrats (or maybe Reagan Democrats) -- who have hung in with the Dems because of tradition.

"Almost $300 billion in additional deficit reductions allegedly result because many employers will supposedly terminate their employee health insurance under Obamacare and pay workers higher wages instead, resulting in higher payroll tax revenues."

This quote and mistruth jumps out at me. Obama stated this the other day at his last speech on healthcare that employers would be giving raises to employees. It has long been obvious he doesn't know anything about running a business, but this is such a malicious lie in that it promises something from someone else that he cannot deliver. If anything there will be more layoffs and if there are any savings those will be redirected to pay higher taxes and strengthen return on capital It will not be passed on as raises I can assure anyone.

Chalkdust| 3.17.10 @ 10:54AM

"Normal Democrats".....please, their may be some of the peeps still clinging to the old 1950's Democratic party that helped stitch the American political checks and balances together. The checks and balances that prevented any one political party or ideology from gaining complete power. For the record that political party disappeared from the American scene about the time of Woodstock.

Look what the "normal" Democrats have given the rest of us recently; a US Congress and Senate choked full of far left ideologues or gutless useful idiots, a socialist President hell bent on "changing America", a whore-mongering past president who was about 9/10th crook interested in his own wealth, two full blown liars in a row (Al Gore and John Kerry). Imagine that on this very day, the only thing standing between disaster for the American people and a bastard of a "healtcare bill" is not some democrats standing on principles that bill is bad for the American people and maybe we should read it first, but on a tangential issue of abortion. Sad but true.

Mimi| 3.17.10 @ 11:05AM

Dear Peter,
Again, your words have brought on the tears! We all must stay strong and yes we all must pray. This lean to the far left must and will pass.
I watched Axelrod on Sunday,as he some of the parts of this bill most agree with. The next question should have been: Why not go back and pass those things? I say it is Presidential EGO that they cannot do the right thing. So.... the nation is in captivity over Obama ego!

I agree with Sarah, HANG ON america , JUST HANG_ON' til November.

Our situation is much worse than anybody here envisages. Abu Hussein from Kenya is a dedicated communist, following the precepts of his teachers Alinsky and Davis. The deadly combination of his marxist convictions with the Chicago gangsters is in a hurry to accomplish this transformation in 4 years or sooner. One means they use is to make 60% of the population dependent on the government largesse - onward and damn the torpedoes! De Tocqueville said it 180 years ago - when those who do not pay taxes get the right to vote - the republic is dead! Only those who escaped the communist hell can understand fully what is going on - Americans are awfully naive and will probably let it happen: The United Socialist Soviet States of America, where the ACORN brownshirts and the SEIU and teacher union thugs will ensure the "victory".

Liberal Reader| 3.17.10 @ 2:21PM

This kind of hysteria and irrational fear-mongering is entertaining to observe, but ultimately bad for the country.

I doubt anyone is surprised to find "conservatives" so attracted by the idea that the first black president wants to turn the country into a "banana republic." Setting the weird, ugly racist undertones aside, the analysis this article offers is spurious and uninformed.

Cal Mark| 3.17.10 @ 2:26PM

Who do you more resemble? Woody Allen or Phil Donahue?

BIackwatch| 3.17.10 @ 4:07PM

Nick, Nick, Nick, clearly since bananas are yellow skinned this is a reference to Obama's early formative years as an Indonesian. And since well educated readers know that Indonesians are overwhelmingly Muslim this is a double-entendre Racist slap at Barry Sotero aka Barack Hussein Obama. Now... wait for it... I'll soon post a chart with graphs and statistics that prove that the use of the racist term "banana republic" is a triple-slur against... wait for it... the Pacific Island Nation of Hawaii. You see, our Muslim educated and trained prophet Abu Hussein was born in the Hawaiian Republic. I saw PROOF of this on the internet. Graphs, charts, and statistics all provided by a FOIA search of the Hawilan Republic's database will soon be posted by Robert Sotero. So relax, you imagined all of this you paranoid racist hicks.

Not bad Blackwatch, not bad at all, in fact, pretty darn sophisticated, that is, for a conservative racist knuckle dragger.
But L.R. is not as nuianced as you, so I think L.R. was thinking more along traditional lines of "obvious" racism here; you see, we have the first black president, then, we have the root word in banana republic being "banana". Now, what primates are associated with eating bananas? O.K, we can now see how L.R. has exposed us for the racists that we are. I guess it's true, liberals are superior to the rest of us. I think I'll have a banana.

Liberal Reader| 3.17.10 @ 7:48PM

Dear all:

I appreciate the fervor and enthusiams of your witty ripostes. Frankly, I don't think my post merited so much attention. Seeing that the author of the above piece put little time or energy into fashioning some kind of reasonable argument, I didn't think it worth my time or energy to fashion a reasonable response.

I know you are all driven crazy by any suggestion of racism. You seem to believe that because SOME accusations of racism are foolish or bogus, ALL accusations of racism are foolish or bogus -- unless they are leveled, of course, at Obama, who you -- following YOUR dear leaders, Beck and Limbaugh -- imagine seeths in hatred for white people.

I could be wrong. Again, nothing in the thread or the original piece provokes all that much interest in me. I'm just killing time until my next latte, which I plan to use to wash down on nice arugula salad, served with pecans and a nice rasberry vinagrette. But I ask myself, should I go with the latte or a chai? I have a bottle of white chilling for later, to go with the smoke salmon. All these choices to make, and all before heading off for my midnight satan worship service. On top of it all, I have to be up early to attend my Socialist Nazis for Cardcheck meeting!

Oldefarte| 3.18.10 @ 10:51AM

LR: First, take that 'bottle of white' and STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE! Next, get it through your imbicilic empty cranial cavity that most all conservatives dispise the hypocritical filth of Pilosi, Reid, Gore, Schumer, Dodd, Frank,etc much more than THE CHOSEN ONE [he's just the HOWDY DOODY puppet being manipulated by the rest of them]. He's just being true to himself, whereas the rest of them are simply rich hypocrites that want to expropriate TAXPAYER [GOVERNMENT] TAX MONEY to accompolish their social agendas. No conservatives would mind [and would gladly accompany any liberals] if their TAX DOLLARS were not being abused and misspent on these ideas. As your CHOSEN ONE once proclaimed, it's all about WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION via government tax dollars [not liberals' money private wealth funds solely], and that is the only problem!!!!!

As in a banana republic, El Presidente' makes sure that the laws and proposals he has declared (even though he knows nothing) are passed in order that he may save himself from humiliation and embarrassment above all else.
Usually, El Presedente' has minions who follow his every word with zeal and ostensibly for the good of the people. In the end El Presedente' cannot help but give into every aspect of absolute power which corrupts absolutely he and all of his pals.
All Marxism debilitates to a state of corruption because it denies two aspects of human yearning:

1. Human-kinds love of god's and the universes ultimate gift of freedom. and liberty

2. Human-kinds darkest and most perverse lust for power and retribution.

Hopefully Marxist wann-bees fail before they take on a cultural revolution, i.e. purge like those that murdered tens of millions during the 20th Century.

Hankmeister| 3.17.10 @ 3:14PM

"Bleeding-heart liberal"? Try bleeding-heart tightwads. Enough studies have been done to show when it comes to personal charity it is conservatives who give more money, more time and more blood to worthy, truly compassionate causes (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/conservatives_more_liberal_giv.html)

When Dr. Brooks, a liberal Democrat himself, was asked in an interview why he went ahead and published the study though it showed liberal statists in a bad light, he said he had hoped to shame the bleeding-heart tightwad liberals into becoming more compassionate with their own money instead of other people's money.

I contend that it is a reckless if not immoral proposition to empower a rapacious government to levy ever higher level of confiscatory taxes under the pretense of "compassionate government" in order to enlarge the entitlement plantation.

Folks, we're eyeball-to-eyeball with the braindead liberals' attempts at a velvet gulag and it will not stop with the HeathScare obamanation. If the fascists Pelosi and Reid are able to cram this bill down the throats of the majority of American people who oppose this bill (56%) by hook or by crook, they only have themselves to blame for their despotism which may cause a 10 million man (armed?) march on Washington D.C. .

Given the overwhelming opposition to this Democratic powergrab that will federalize one-sixth of the nation's economy (and don't kid yourselves, Democrats' really don't give a tinker's damn about your health or mine since they aren't about to put themselves under the same healthscare system - it's all about power and keeping their base on their voter reservation), freedom loving Americans who have proudly embraced the concept of limited government under a well-ordered constitutional republic WILL BE THOROUGHLY OUTRAGED ... despite the mewlings of "peace, peace" by Obamabots too gutless to unfasten their lips from Obama's backside and getting a good whiff of sobering reality.

Liberal Democrats will only have themselves to blame for WHATEVER backlash may occur as a result of the fascist machinations of the U.S. Congress, the White House, and the national socialist media.

Moreover, did anyone actually believe it wouldn't reach this country? Fidel Castro, and now also Hugo Chavez, have been carrying out a tutorial in totaliarism, which our own resident socialists, as well as the hordes of illegal aliens from all points south have well learned and are now poised to shove down our collective throats, and in doing so will not only remake this country, but in fact destroy any and all vestiges of its democratic republican past, history and traditions. Good luck to us all. Hope and pray it's not too late.

THINK! Can anybody offer a reason why they haven't stationed the Nation Guard along the border, especially now with the incessant criminal drug war taking more lives of American citizens? The US Border Patrol has limited personnel and even the border Sheriff’s has limited deputies to keep the national line safe? Every day it gets worse and our government seem almost nonchalant to the battles raging on both sides. The National Guard should be armed and have the right to protect US citizens, who live along the border and terrorized by the criminal as well as illegal aliens crossing their land. My question how come we pour massive resources into Iraq and Afghanistan, when our border remains easy access to anybody?

Returning to E-Verify will be shortly a 99.9 percent effective and we shouldn't listen to Sen. Schumer, Sen. Graham, or others who are blemished, such as Sen. Reid, Majority speaker Reid, Sen. McCain, Dick Armey and a large obnoxious grab-bag of others.Many are now hesitating because they have been caught red-handed, as being the puppets of corporate welfare. Hearth Care reform could be distributed to millions of Americans, if only our legislators denied any government entitlements to (ANCHOR BABIES) with instant citizenship, who are the "Anchor" for the whole family to reside here. New legitimized immigrants could sponsor, millions of direct family members including those who are already medical patients? They will become the American taxpayer’s extra financial baggage.

If you cannot see a silent conspiracy to keep importing desperately poor people, when we should instead demand from Washington only those of superior skills, who will not become a taxpayers extra mouth to feed. The real criminal is the business man, protected by corrupt Washington insiders, who refuse to fully fund such programs as REAL ID ACT, THE SAVE ACT, which contain E-Verify, the local police 287 (g) and the dwindling ICE raids. A 24 hour hot-line should be implemented for law abiding citizens to report irregularities in work and tax records, with perhaps a small reward. Just as the bridge to nowhere, the fence was compromised from the start of construction. Just as the federal government have ignored states, counties and cities that have proclaimed they are refuge for illegal aliens.

Not only are they breaking government law, but as Los Angeles Order 40, has allowed criminal aliens to maim and kill innocent citizens. Even in the rural neighborhoods that once didn't have to lock their doors, find they are no longer defended from foreign nationals who are now a large percentage of cell-block inmates. We have our own citizen habitual criminal population. Why are states like California spending money they don't have on an expanding crime rate from illegal aliens? We can all bury our heads in the sand and listen to the repetitive lies of open border politicians, who have cheated their oath to protect the principles of the US Constitution? It is “THE PEOPLES” obligation and right, to stop this travesty of immigration laws?

Like most ordinary Americans today, I have a mortgage up-in the air, car payment and feeding my family from my pensions. How much money does the IRS take from my family to educate foreign children, incarcerate their parents or all the other welfare programs that are intentionally hidden from US citizens and residents? This is not a multilingual nation; it is a nation under one flag that has flourished through many wars, downturns and the allowance of welcoming--LEGAL--immigration. We do not need millions of illegal immigrants brandishing foreign flags, demanding their rights to stay here in national rallies, when they violated our sovereign laws to begin with?

GET THE MESSAGE OUT. Immediate news: Get ready for the 100.000 illegal immigrant rally to Washington this weekend. WHERE'S ICE?

Like any computer function it takes time to remove the bugs. Nationally known PC products have problems? Even the greatest programs have inconsistencies with new versions appearing as they are revised and upgraded. Same is with E-Verify that is undergoing a continuous revision. I make no excuses that I have bombarded the internet with my blogs. To keep the American people aware that the open border extremists, use there pressures to demonize or at the least compromise E-Verify. Unlike wealthy parasite corporate owners the shrinking middle class doesn't have the resources to fight back against this incredible decades-long sedition. Those who wish to destroy E-Verify use are well financed by a huge compendium of organizations that have many reasons to remove it from immigration enforcement. It’s a repeat performance in announcing that the ordinary people who gain an advantage of making E-Verify as a permanent tool. Do not let these adverse organizations demoralize you. Already Homeland Security is working on the fraudulent ID glitch. Photo identification is being added, with other advanced tools.

It is against dark forces who not only want the free movement of cheap labor settled in America, but they also want the US population to pay for corporate welfare it represents. Corporate welfare being that many of our politicians are complicit in, to keeping the borders open no matter what? If decades of administrations wanted to halt the unceasing invasion of illegal immigrants, why have they not made illegal entry a criminal offense? Why is it not a felony? Illegal immigration would never have grown on this massive scale that is negatively connected with job loss for Americans. Another quest why the preposterous lie that any woman who crosses the border with intent to have their baby here. That was originally meant for the emancipation of the civil war slaves. As yet hasn't been rescinded, but distorted by the Liberal bench? Same with the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act that always faltered?

WHY MAKE IT THE LAW OF THE LAND--IF IT’S NOT GOING TO BE FULLY ENFORCED? These are the questions demanding answers from every federal and state representative of the people at 202-224-3121? Have any of us considered, that the US taxpayer would possibly paying less taxes, if states like the SANCTUARY STATE OF CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK were not emptying our pockets with entitlement programs for illegal alien families? Take for instance the document you pass to the immigration/customs agent as a tourist, student or any other visitor. Why bother when there is no way to detect, who has left this nation or have just disappeared into the landscape? Most of the time, the airport staff, ferry, passenger forget to ask or don't even care? You will only find these answers at NUMBERSUSA, JUDICIAL WATCH or by surfing the Internet?

There is not enough room in this commentary to list the benefits to illegal aliens, including the child income tax reimbursement? Just ask Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich of Los Angeles, who according to him $50 million in welfare benefits (CALWORKS + Food Stamp’s) for the month of January 2010 alone. Yes! And that just the very tip of the financial iceberg, extracted from your income. Hundreds of pro-sovereignty groups will relay the information, of the billions of dollars given to illegal immigrant families. Now they want to further the outrage, by giving millions of illegal families a free ride to citizenship? Should a new amnesty past, what makes you think that future administrations will hold back the next tidal wave of people? How much more money do you think this Amnesty or following waves of illegal immigration will cost you?

Face it: Obama says, "F*ck the people and f*ck the Constitution!"

I say to HELL with Slaughter's "Deem and Pass". It's time for Obama to use his OWN "Demon pass" and return Barack to Hell.

KILL the Bill and BURY ObamaCare!

America has been a banana republic since 1992, when scoundrel Clinton was elected to the White House. Even Bush jr. couldn't do much about this.

Peter:

"... frenzied government takeover of health care, which fevered Democrats insist they will "pass" by any means necessary, even illegal, unconstitutional means."

You're a ranting, raving lunie.

Get out of the full shine of the moon.
