Apr 3rd, 2013 - Letter to the President and the fact of 90%

To the Members of the Government,

I recently watched a video starring Dan Pfeiffer, whom through the course of the video kept up this notion that 90% of America was in agreement with the President and that Congress would suffer terrible upheaval, in biblical proportions, if the Republicans, failed to act, in, I assume, accordance with the President's mandates. 

Ninety percent of the people agree. 

But, we know, that is, we of intellect, understand that he's not actually talking about the bills and possible laws being bantered about in Congress, but Dan's 90% number is simply the fear of mankind, the hand wringing, hair pulling, and the teeth gnashing 90%, who work by knee jerk reaction-ism.  Those people who, upon seeing any disaster, say, "We must do something!"  Then couple that with the clever use of the phrase commonsense and apply a guilt to those that would oppose it and you are most likely going to get people to agree to a statement that 1. works from their fears and 2. forces intelligent debate away from the mind by making them feel like traitors or stupid for not having commonsense.

So what are the real numbers?

Looking at popvox.com:
S174 - Background checks on ammunition purchasing - 4% support this idea, while 96% oppose.
S22 - Gun show background checks - 7% support and 93% oppose.
HR329 - strengthening background checks - 11% support and 89% oppose.

The reality is, that, through the gnashing and crying their eyes out for change, when they actually sit down and look at the details - the actual laws that the government wants to enforce - the people readily disagree.

In fact, to illustrate:
S82 - Separation of Powers Restoration and The Second Amendment Protection Act of 2013 -  4% of the people oppose this bill, while 96% support.  
S82 is supported by people from every State


The reality, sirs, is that We The People want less government, less intrusions, less restrictions.  We, in fact, want our freedom restored to us.

So, when Dan says there will be political fallout, he should be speaking to himself, and to all those that would steal more of our Liberty, Life, and Property.  He should be standing on the corner with a sandwich board, warning the Democrats, that the end is nigh.  

And it is.  

The spirit of this country is re-awaking.  People are starting to understand that they have rights that no government, no unit, not people, no group, no state, or authority has the right to hold away from them.  This is the meaning of adding a Bill of Rights to our Constitution, to ensure that the government (who's ever government it is) kept its fingers out of our lives.

I oppose any further violations of the Constitution's wording.
