Law enforcement and our politicians…

http://www.helium.com/tm/872259/primary-duties-government-should

One of the primary duties of government should be to secure and or protect their population. If they cannot do this, they shouldn’t have the authority they have.

Not that many American citizens realize that about half of their political candidates or people in positions of power hate authority. They love power, but hate any type of authority that tells them they cannot do something.

I have a friend whom I consider a great person. But deep down, he hates policemen. He sees them as those who use their power to keep him down. I do agree that absolute power thus corrupt absolutely, but that does not mean that power is evil. Power in the hands of people who respect the Constitution of the United States, in my opinion is a good thing.

When kids and teenagers challenge authority, it is considered normal. When adults do it however, is a sign of immaturity and maybe, just maybe, that they are not suited to govern a nation so powerful as the United States.

Those are strong words. But lets see, in order for a Nation to function without a hitch, it needs laws. Those laws need to be enforced. Otherwise, we have anarchy, the rights of the individual are not protected, and then we have the crazy blind leading the idiot. So we need law enforcement agencies. I’d venture to say that most of those who do not like law enforcement agents, are hiding something, doing something against the law, or would rather live in a lawless state. Either way, they do not belong governing a nation.

At this time I do need to do a disclaimer. I believe that not everybody that calls himself or herself a Democrat falls within this category. I also believe that we have a few of those within the Republican Party. There are law-abiding democrats and they are, without question, just as much a patriot as I am. But I do belief that in every group, a small percentage of such groups go against most established societal norms. Those are the ones who reject the law and law enforcement agencies and agents. Those are also the ones who would do anything to tie the hands of every law enforcement agency they can.

Unfortunately, some of those people make it to positions of power. And we have plenty of them in Congress.

Take for example The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). We have the technology and the ability to intercept and listen in communications between people in the United States of America and known terrorists. We had, past tense, a law that allowed intelligence agencies to track those calls and possibly, stop such creeps from perpetrating terrorist acts. And what does Congress do? They let it expire, leaving our intelligence agencies without the capabilities of finding and tracking the enemies of our land. And those are the people that want to govern our Nation? Faced between working late and leaving for the weekend without finishing my job, I would finish my job; otherwise I would be severely chastised and even disciplined. Congress just goes home living our nation with one less tool to protect it.

All I’m saying is that a Democrat controlled Congress scares the heck out of me. Look at the choices they make. Go home and allow an important bill to expire. What is their priority? They swore to uphold the Constitution and to protect our Nation. Are they really doing this?

Is Senator Clinton any better? She opposes licensing illegals not because is the right thing to do, but because it would expose them to law enforcement agencies. Is that what a patriot would do?

Lets keep our perspective. How about the people that put two Border Patrol Agents in jail for shooting an illegal drug-carrying dealer in the butt. The excuse used by the agency to put these officers in jail is akin to “the dog ate my homework”. This guy, the drug dealer, has being seen carrying more drug shipments into the United States. And our border agents are still in jail.

I really do not care who does what, whether Democrat or Republican, if they do not respect our laws, protect our sovereignty, and defend our Constitution, they don’t belong on the Halls of our Democratic Government.

The Clintons never really respected our military; Madam Speaker of the House Pelosi has not shown any respect to our military either. She allows Congress to go in a hiatus allowing important legislation expire. The ones who promised to bring transparency to our Government are the ones who claim Congressman Jefferson (he was found by the FBI with $90k in the freezer) as one of their own. To be fair, Senator Obama had claimed his share of $91 million dollars in earmarks too. They are the same who wouldn’t prosecute Sandy Berger who stole classified documents and downplayed his actions. Well, lets remember these instances when is the people’s turn to speak out and vote.

“We the people…” have the right to vote against those who would not protect our Nation.
