art.I,§.7,c.1: “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives…” so… originate already. #gop @ 11.29.12

The phrase “It’s a free country” didn’t die off because it became cliche. It died as it no longer applied, as freedom had been traded in. @ 11.29.12

That our standard of living so regularly & increasingly hangs by a thread dangled by a govt with no such vested power, just pisses me off! @ 11.29.12

Perspective … and an evolved point of view on the greater gamble @ 11.29.12

All it takes is money that you didn’t earn, taken from someone you don’t know, with consequences you don’t care about. That’s all it takes. @ 11.28.12

The problem isn’t him, so much, as it is all those people who think they’re supposed to like him so much. @ 11.28.12

If you CANNOT question the authority of your government, you are enslaved. If you WILL NOT question it, you are a fool! ~tdv #liberty @ 11.28.12

Is obama as outraged about this as he was about the ‘video’? Or would he say the “future must belong” to the artist. @ 11.27.12

Raising taxes on the ‘wealthy’ serves ONLY ONE purpose: Divide and demoralize the conservative electorate! @ 11.27.12

Yep, America’s become a freaking TV show, and the only people left with any sense don’t have a set. @ 11.26.12

Imagine the day when Congress will meet, and adjourn, admitting of nothing to do, and having done nothing. @ 11.26.12

In 1998, the Code of Federal Regulations ~ 134,723 pgs, 201 vols., 19 feet of shelf space. In 1970, the CFR only 54,834 pgs. @ 06.12.12
Ref: http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/fedregulations.htm 

Obama launched 3,611 new regulations, 106 of them “major”, meaning EACH COST ECONOMY OVER $100 MIL/YR @ 08.12.12
Ref: http://blog.heritage.org/2012/06/08/is-obama-turning-the-economy-around/ 

Obamacare: 2700 pgs., Dodd-Frank: 850 pgs. (1864 Banking Law: 29 pgs., 1913 FedResAct: 32 pgs., 1933 Glass-Steagall Act: 37 pgs.) @ 08.12.12
Ref: Too big not to fail  on the Dodd-Frank Act, from the Economist

Federalist No. 62, paragraph 16 (emphasis mine):

The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessings of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood: if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes, that no man who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known and less fixed.

Government Growth as Per Capita Spending (~yr:‘05$/person) ~1800:$32 ~1900:$170 ~1950:$2,022 ~2000:$7,152 ~2012:$10,433 @ 08.12.12

EPA Costs Manufacturing Sector $117 Billion! Total Federal Regulation costs $500B ~wonder how many JOBS (people) that is? @ 08.12.12
Ref: http://www.sacbee.com/2012/08/21/4744381/nera-report-finds-increasing-number.html 

BY WHAT AUTHORITY does this tyrannical federal monstrosity LOWER our standard of living?! Sure’n Hell NOT by We the People! @ 08.12.12

~Updated 08.30.12 to remove twitter embeds. Tweets are linked with the usual @ symbol.

“No means maybe, and maybe means you aren’t listening, Dad!” ~tdv (@subconch)

“A good read doesn’t know that it’s being read?” ~tdv (@subconch)

“Maybe it is time for Americans to be classified as their own Race of people, and finally shut down the whores of division and strife.” ~tdv (@subconch)

“The powers you support are not always in the hands of the people you support!” ~tdv (@subconch)

“Representatives: Upon which liberties shall you trample? Who shall gain your favor?” ~tdv (@subconch)

“Hey, has anybody ever seen Barack Obama in the snow? Is he the antithesis of Santa Claus?!? BHO don’t like snow! Hmm.” ~tdv (@subconch)
note: This quote was the final response to my 12 yr-old’s question “What’s the opposite of Santa Claus?” Scrooge and Grinch were not acceptable to her because they turned out okay in the end. Obama was selected for the lower standard of living he perpetuates, and the resulting fewer gifts under the tree… and he’s skinny, don’t wear red, and don’t like snow?

“Just wondering, when we stop the liberal plunder, can we get the wealth back that they took, or does America have to earn it all over again?” ~tdv (@subconch)

“Tell a man he should know better, and he will maintain his ignorance despite you. Give him the simple truth, and he’ll still ignore it.” ~tdv (@subconch)

“If a woman uses her power to oppress one in favor of another, she is first a tyrant, and last, a woman.” ~tdv (@subconch)

“A mauve man who steals from your kids is at first a thief, and at last, mauve.” ~tdv (@subconch)
