Our nation's independence movement was inspired by the Patrick Henry assertion that "taxation without representation constituted tyranny". We had no vote or say in King George's England on tax policy, trade policy, or tariffs.

Am I the only one noticing that fascism is coming to America? Webster's defines fascism as "a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."
I know a lot of you are going to say I’m being absurd. Do you truly think one day you’re free and the next you’re under fascist control? It’s a slow process. In the name of progressivism, we have supporters of fascism right here in our country. If anyone thinks that the nation is not being exalted over the individual, you’re asleep.
Everything coming out of Washington is focused on the collective nation. We’re to "spread the wealth around." Homeschooling is coming under fire. What do the common folk know about educating a child? Hillary Clinton herself said, "it takes a village to raise a child."

The Unconstitutional President - how's that for a statement of fact?
Call him what you will, "Hugo Obama" or "Barack Chavez", our current President is obviously intent on destroying this country. He's taken over the banks - Nationalizing (a socialist method of hostile takeover with no poison pill available to the firm being taken over) many of them; forcing out the CEO of GM - now called "Government Motors" by many.
Since when does the Office of the President of the United States have the "right" to determine who heads up a private-sector company? Under what article of the Constitution does this power fall?
Where do the limits of the Presidency end? Nowhere, apparently. And no one is actively standing up against him. Lots of talk, precious little action. A disturbing trend, and one that will result in the destruction of our Republic.

What do I get for my federal taxes? Our public schools are failing, Social Security is insolvent, Medicare & Medicaid are run by a corrupt government that uses taxpayer money to overpay the corporations that run it.
Our military is in shambles, our economy is on the brink of complete collapse and all our leaders can think of to do in order to solve the problem is to use our tax dollars to bail out the mistakes of corporations while Americans end up homeless and broke. And stuck with the bill.

"My Administration is the only thing between you and the Pitchforks" This is the most disturbing comment made by a President in U.S. History. It shows the gross disregard Obama has for institutions that have built America's Industrial Strength. It is a cavalier attempt at broadening his powers over the banking community. It reveals a machiavelian tendency of Obama to characterize his self importance in threatening terms.

Obama's apologies to Europe are Incredibly Naive. Former Ambassador John Bolten stated: "If these are the thoughts rambling around inside the presidential brain that's guiding our foreign policy, I'm very troubled by this. This is somebody who does not have a very basic grounding in not just contemporary history but history of the relationship between the United States and Europe over a long period of time."

Obama bowed down before a Saudi King? This was truly shocking to witness. Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, I don't want to see my president doing such a thing.

What is this all about?
Our nation's independence movement was inspired by the Patrick Henry assertion that "taxation without representation constituted tyranny". We had no vote or say in King George's England on tax policy, trade policy, or tariffs.
Today, we face a different threat - one in our nations capital and leadership. Many believe that recent economic events have forced US citizens into accepting government oversight and control which we never agreed to.
Which begs the question: What Would Our Founding Fathers Do?
