Understanding the Different Forms of Government

I have said more than a few times within these pixellated pages that we have been slipping towards Democracy and Socialism. Some would say that we have embraced them already. Some of our leaders most assuredly have. It is my opinion that in order to right the course of our ship of state the people should again be educated. That education has been lacking in our schools for quite a while.
Here is a video shared by a fellow TEA Party member on the various forms of government. Simple and easy to understand.

Where we are in terms of any "ism" is not relative but absolute, even if hard to define or point out on a graph. However, where we are to me though is not as important right now as where we are going. That is why I resist even the smallest encroachment of liberty, because where we are going is not to freedom but to slavery and tyranny.

Slaughter House Rules = Martial Law! - Mark Levin

RED ALERT: We Are Now Living Under Martial Law -- House Democrats Appear Set to Pass Senate Bill Without Voting On It

Levin:

Let me be as clear as I know how. If this is done, this will create the greatest Constitutional crisis since the Civil War. It would be 100 times worse than Watergate. ...It would be government by fiat... meaning there would be no law... the mere discussion by officials in this government is such a grotesque violation of the actual legislative function of Congress [that it] puts us... at the brink. At the brink. This is why we conservatives revere the Constitution. This is why we stress the Constitution's words have meaning and historical context and must be complied with. Because otherwise we have anarchy, which leads to tyranny.

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,...

I'm nearing the point of withdrawing consent. This adminstruation and the democrats who are attempting this complete ousting of the Constitution must be impeached and thrown out. I'm not sure we can wait until November.

Read the rest at Doug Ross's place.

I Hate To Say...

I told you so, so I won't. But I've "mentioned" it...*grin*

Today, 46% of government employees say the economy is getting better while just 31% say it’s getting worse. Among those who work in the private sector, the numbers are reversed: 32% say better and 49% worse.

Onion: Nation's Unemployment Outlook Improves Drastically After Fifth Beer

"Even in Michigan, home to the nation's highest unemployment numbers, fairly buzzed sources described a bright future for thousands of laid-off automotive workers and their families."
I'm most impressed with the small alcohol to hope ratio. Americans in Michigan must be a very optimistic group.
Cheers!

This law is bound to get challenged. I just wonder how many will get stuck with needles before it's overturned. Will the intrusion never stop? Video report here from KVUE.
