A Pelosi Response to a Constitutional Question

Every so often you come across news that really isn't news. At least in the sense it is exactly what you have come to expect. However, when the individual that is the subject of the news piece happens to show such audacity that it actually has you frothing at the mouth, you sometimes simply must cover it and "get some stuff off your chest."

CNSNews.com  recently asked Speaker of the House, Nance Pelosi where in the Constitution is authorization given for the Congress to require (order) Americans to purchase health insurance, -- a mandate included in both the House and Senate versions of national health care bill.

In dismissing the question her answer was; "Are you serious? Are you serious?"  Further,  Madame Speakers press secretary, in answer to written questions from CNSNews.com had this to say on the "Constitutionality of Heath Insurance Reform."  Congress derives the authority to mandate that people purchase  health insurance from its constitutiinal power to regulate interstate commerce.

Now that sounds exactly like some socialist/statist attorney for the ACLU was hard at work crafting that utterly nonsensical arguement. And it is why an individual can find themselves frothing at the mouth. Certainly such utter audacity requires a response, so here it comes folks.

Dear Madame Speaker,

If you will, for just a moment, please bear with this unapologetic and outspoken radical. I speak of radicalism with respect to liberty, individualism, capitalism, self reliance, and a strict constructionist reading of our Constitution.

I, and millions of other liberty loving Americans  simply do not want, nor do we need you or the President, telling us what we need or how much or little of it we need. Let alone treating us as criminals should we CHOOSE not to purchase health insurance. Nothing is free in life, or at least it shouldn't be.

Our Constitution was drafted giving limited power to the government. It was intentionally done so to protect the people against the possible tyranny of government. But with all due respect, Madame Speaker, this concept is something you and the President apparently don't understand.

This time it isn't Rome that is burning. It is our beloved Untied States of America, and the values that truly enlightened individuals, those responsible for the existence of our Republic, who are burning.

We will not just sit back and follow a group of lemmings as they attempt to march us into a sea of darkness. A sea where the values that made our nation great are lost forever.

The heat needs to be turned up. And it needs to be turned on those who would deny our individual rights as law abiding citizens of this nation. It needs to be turned on the socialist/statist Representatives, Senators, and the President who wish make us subservient to THEIR will.

Those who preach the socialist/statist, collectivist, communist mantra, and attempt to force it down our freedom loving throats will face the wrath of the voters.

Neither you nor the President are fooling anybody. Your radical agenda is clear and the intent to make us look like the rest of the collective world is glaringly obvious.

If you wish to retain your power in OUR government, which power by the way is granted you by the PEOPLE,  you would do well to hear us and not underestimate your opposition. If you do you will find yourself losing the power you apparently need to find any self worth.

With all Due Respect,
Rational Nation USA
