The arrogance of Washington, D.C. has not abated, Constitution du jour

Obama’s ineligibility: Prepare to defend America – Defeating the political-media complex

The political-media complex is the operational arm of the multinational, wealthy and networked elite, who have hired Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States.
In their service, politicians have preserved the illusion of democracy for the now disenfranchised voters, and journalists, falsely proclaiming themselves as the tireless defenders of liberty, distort the news in an attempt to manipulate public opinion. The arrogance of Washington, D.C. has not abated, but has only gotten more brazen since 1993, when Lewis H. Lapham (“A Wish for Kings”) wrote:
“The federal treasury at the moment supplies 45 percent of the nation's income. The politicians dress up the deals in the language of law or policy, but they're in the business of brokering the tax revenue, and what keeps them in office is not their talent for oratory but their skill at redistributing the national income in a way that rewards their clients, patrons, friends and campaign contributors.”

Lapham writing on the state of free enterprise:
“At their annual conventions they sometimes make brave speeches about the joys of "risk taking" and the wonders of "entrepeneurship", but what they know and trust is the rigged price, the safe monopoly, the sure percentage. By and large, and certainly in its primary and steadier movements, the national economy depends not only on systematic price-fixing and noncompetitive bidding but also on the guarantee of government intervention. The theory of the free market works at the margins of the economy - among cabdrivers and the owners of pizza parlors who made the mistake of borrowing $20,000 instead of $20 million - but the central pillars of the American enterprise rest...firmly on the foundation stones of federal subsidy..."
Lapham, again, commenting on the main stream media:
“… If the sketch seems somewhat at odds with the official portrait, it is because the media, together with their owners and political overlords, find it convenient to pretend that the free and courageous voice of conscience defends the American people against the darkness of tyranny and injustice. The media does nothing of the kind, but the disguise is flattering as it is profitable, and it conceals the function of the media as the first and foremost of the nation’s courtiers. The big media identify themselves with wealth and privilege and the wisdom in office.”
The elephant in our nation’s political living room is the endemic corruption in Washington, D.C. All of the nation’s problems are ancillary, only symptoms of a cancer, which will eventually kill the United States. The political-media complex has only contempt for ordinary Americans. And we deserve it because we have allowed corruption to become an acceptable component of the status quo. Even “Beltway” conservatives count themselves among the ranks of the political-media complex in an attempt to subvert the Constitution. Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol has joined other news outlets supporting Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) as a Vice Presidential candidate. Rubio may be an excellent senator, but he has never been Constitutionally eligible for the Presidential ticket because he is not a Natural Born Citizen. His parents were not US citizens at the time of his birth. Matt Lewis of the conservative Daily Caller ridiculed those questioning Rubio’s eligibility in a piece titled "Coming soon: Rubio 'birthers’." Lewis warns,
"There is already a movement afoot (led by some on the fringe) to disqualify him from serving as president (which would presumably disqualify him from serving as vice president). That's right – some are arguing that Rubio is not eligible because he is not a 'natural-born citizen.'"
Both Democrats and Republicans are not stupid. They are part of the political-media complex promoting a “Constitution du jour”, which can be reinterpreted according to their own political whims or adjusted to whatever political winds might be blowing at the moment. Over our dead bodies. Obama is the poster boy for the corrupt political culture in Washington, D.C. He is a usurper and criminal and must be removed from office before the 2012 election if the country is to survive. Congress needs to decide now if it will continue to protect Obama or support the Constitution and the rule of law. There is no gray area. If members of Congress continue the cover-up, they will be removed from office and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We will be unrelenting and unforgiving. When we gain power, and we will, licenses of media outlets that have abused the public trust by willful ignorance or deliberately misleading the American people will be revoked. In the meantime, patriots can begin the effort by switching off main stream media channels and boycotting their sponsors. The political-media complex has declared war on the American people by violating our Constitution and undermining the rule of law. Patriots must now heed the words of Joseph Warren, from the Boston Massacre Oration, March 6, 1775 and remove Obama and take back our government:
“Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.”
