So Congress Read The Constitution: Well, Isn’t That Special

I tried watching the swearing in of the new House for the 112th
Congress. I couldn’t stand it. Standing on the steps outside the
House, was one of the greatest collections of career liars,thieves and
thugs ever publicly assembled, sprinkled with a few new-comers who
probably believe they are actually going to affect a change in the
District of Criminals.
By the end of January, these newbies will have been thoroughly
indoctrinated and will have had the law laid down to them about how
things really work in the District. The newbies will resurface along
about February with their talking points memo’s in hand and will
dutifully be spouting the party line and will have totally dismissed any
notions they may have had about “changing” the way the District does
business.
Next I tried to watch the changing of the Speaker of the House. In these
moments I am always amazed at the ability of the players to stand in
front of not only the House members, but the American public thanks to
all the camera’s present, and to deliver vacant and pointless speeches,
the words of which sound like they should mean something….but really don’t.
Nancy Pelosi had the gall to speak about defending the Constitution.
This from a woman who has single-handedly violated the provisions of
that document on so many occasions it is staggering. Now she thinks the
Constitution should be defended. Apparently Ms. Pelosi suffers from
some form of congressional Alzheimer's or maybe she just has selective
memory.
John Boehner took the gavel as he assumed his new position as speaker
and talked about “openness, transparency and honesty”. Words I believe
were taken from Obama’s now infamous remarks during his campaign.
Yeah…..I’ll be looking for John to deliver on that one.
The grand coup’ in all of this, the zinger meant to incite the public,
to make the American people believe was a new day with new leadership
that was really going to listen to the American people and a leadership
that held the Constitution in high regard, promising to uphold it at all
times …….was the reading of the Constitution on the floor of the House.
While this reading of America’s most historical and profoundly important
document was read, congress men and women chatted with one another and I
believe a few might have napped.
Not one congressmen, not the outgoing speaker or the incoming speaker,
said one word about repealing any of the egregious assaults on
Constitutional rights and protections that were contained in numerous
pieces of legislation that they themselves, in many instances, voted to
pass
Having watched these stage shows put on by both the House and Senate for
more years than I care to admit, I was none-the-less taken back by the
unmitigated gall, the phony posturing, the vacant speeches and remarks
that were capped with the reading of the Constitution. Call me cynical,
but I get the uneasy feeling this was some kind of insider joke. Maybe
this is Congress’s idea of fun. I don’t know.
Here’s what I do know: We have allowed ourselves repeatedly to be
conned by people we elect to office. We believe the speeches and the
declarations, but once they are in office, they forget who they work
for. Or maybe they never had any intentions of working for us to begin
with.
The truth of the matter is that no matter what their intentions,
corporations, lobbyists and other forces that we are just now learning
about pull the strings. The fact is, we are subsidizing a political
body that has ceased to be anything other than the facilitators for
corporate takeover of all parts of our lives while subjecting us to
agreements with foreign governments, international bodies and foreign
organizations, populated by people who have no interest in seeing this
country thrive and survive.
My question is this: Why do we continue to pay them?
After all, if you look at the money trail attached to each and every
bill you see that they all garner millions in funding from the
corporations who run the government; a donation no doubt meant to
influence their votes.
I did not hear the out going speaker or the new speaker make any mention
of ending this influence buying by corporations, and it was never
mentioned either before or after the reading of the Constitution.
Speeches and vacant promises aside, there will be no change in the
District of Criminals. The only thing that has changed is “who holds
the gavel”.

this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement."
