Apparently neither Democrats nor Republicans seem to comprehend their role is to not only represent their constituents, but to protect their constitutional rights. Their role is to fight to preserve the liberties of the individual citizen. It is not to negotiate, nor barter, nor “work together” to eliminate the bedrock principles of independence and self-reliance that are the foundation of our nation, and our phenomenal prosperity. So a significant part of Congress from both parties needs to be sent a message. A simple message. A two word message: “You’re Fired!” Every member of Congress swears an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, from all enemies, foreign and domestic.” These political elitists in Congress have jointly taken our money, and spent it wastefully to get themselves re-elected. These political elitists in Congress have drafted legislation that they don’t even read, much less understand. These political elitists in Congress have arrogated to themselves privileges and power that hasn’t been equaled since the months just before the French Revolution of 1779 and the bloody end of the French nobility or perhaps the last members of the Romanov dynasty. And this has happened while they ignored their responsibilities as defined in the Constitution, and surrendering their legislative authority to the White House. How many times does the 2,000 page Obamacare magnum opus use a phrase similar to “…and such regulations as defined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services”? Key to this is remembering that members of Congress are holding “temp” jobs. Think about that for a minute. The Founders thought that two years was enough. They had definitively limited what the Congress was supposed to be able to do, so it wasn’t ever supposed to become a career. In fact the members of the early Congresses were paid on a per diem basis! Never mind that successive Congresses, especially since the dawn of the 20th century and the growth of the Progressive movement have distorted the clear intent of the Constitution (as envisioned by the Founders) out of all recognition. These were supposed to be temp jobs. Each member of Congress was subject to replacement in fairly short order.
