A Tarnished Nation in a Valley
September 1st, 2010 . by iVote
Ronald Regan’s characterization of America as a “Shining city on a hill” remains one of the most inspirational characterizations of our nation since its founding.
Barack Obama, our President, has been systematically dismantling the nation’s framework for freedom, reducing us to “a tarnished nation in a valley.”
Never before has then been such an obvious frontal assault on our nation’s fundamental principles of individualism, liberty and entrepreneurialism.
Led by Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Harry Reid (D-NV) on the Congressional side, Barack Obama has fundamentally altered the economic direction of America by shifting trillions of dollars from the private sector to the federal government and by strapping us with an astronomical, multi-generation debt.
This economic shift creates a massive loss of freedom for the American people…debt always does! Federal control of just about every aspect of the economy has been instituted. On top of this transfer of power, taxes will be raised on January 1, 2011 for all Americans, breaking our backs.
Our beloved Ronald Reagan must be watching in disbelief and a broken heart. We now have a President that is hell-bent on creating a nation made up of economic classes, racial categories and the governing elite.
Our Two Pronged Strategy: Gut the Carp, Replace the Fish
We must either drive the President of the United States out of office or, vote him and his minions out of office in November and in the Presidential election of 2012.
In November, we will disembowel the President by replacing Congress with new Members who have pledged to adhere to traditional American values that are aligned with the Constitution and our unalienable rights.
This is a two-pronged approach. First, we will gut the President by removing his grip on congress and his power to legislate.
Then, the second prong is applied in 2012; we will add more congressional seats by throwing the second batch of idiots out of office along with Barack Obama.
The Big American Shift – Ripping Our Hearts Out
A great shift is underway. The epicenter of freedom, which has always resided in the heart of the individual, has been moved by Barack Obama to Washington, D.C. where it has taken up temporary residence. But freedom cannot be contained by government nor can it be removed from the minds and hearts of people who have enjoyed its benefits.
What our narcissistic President fails to understand is the anger of the American people. If he does understand it, he chooses to ignore it, making his actions even more despicable.
With the election of Joe Miller in Alaska and his defeat of Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the writing is on the wall. We are mad as hell about Barack Obama and his leftist friends and we are not going to take it anymore!
Thanks, Mr. President, but No Thanks!
In a way, however, Barack Obama is helping restore America by his socialist actions, which seem unabated. The language, the rhetoric, the class warfare, not to mention his massive spending spree (and I am not even talking about the vacations) have pushed America from its position on Reagan’s hill down into a cluttered valley where we languish, momentarily tarnished.
iVoteAmerica has said repeatedly that short of anarchy the only way to resurrect the shining city to its place of preeminence to literally overthrow the government by voting the incumbent establishment, Democrat and non-conservative Republicans, out of office.
In fact, we have a constitutional obligation to replace any government that fails to uphold the constitution and the centrality of governed as the possessors of unalienable rights. Here is what the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America says:
“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. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
We are not going to allow Barack Obama and career politicians who have lost their connection to the Constitution and the American people to turn our shining city on a hill into a tarnished nation in a valley.
Staying on the Political Playing Field
We have to stay on the political playing field through the November elections and all the way to the 2012, when we elect our next President. It will not be easy. There are going to be some casualties because this is high stakes political warfare and the second greatest political battle since the founding of the nation.
Things are going to get very ugly, nasty and dirty. But we must stay in the game and never relent. Our Nation’s Founders we right when they said, “…whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government…”

At the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, President Barack Obama continued his mockery of Americans with whom he disagrees.
“Felicidades!” Translation, “congratulations!” Or, as some have inferred, Castro called the Obama health care success a “miracle” (milagro).
