Taxation without Representation?
I’m still flying the USA “Mourning” flag … this action for the unfortunate 12 unarmed soldiers (plus one civilian and one unborn child) murdered by a Muslim Terrorist at Fort Hood. But as that flag freely flies in the warm South Carolina breeze today, there is news from abroad and I cannot help but wonder about all the taxation facing me with a total lack of representation of me to the rest of the world.
Ft Hood Mourning
Our Representative to the World doesn’t represent ME! Supposedly, the President of the United States of America is our “personal” representative to the rest of the world. Supposedly, he represents our feelings, our ideals and our patriotism. At least that the way it always WAS. And supposedly THIS President was elected because he would bring spending under control, keeping taxes low for the “middle class” … but a year later we’re just a few trillion over budget and the gap between financial sobriety and a financial system drunkenly out of control is up to 18%. And with no help on the horizon from the people who always make the difference, the hard working citizens of the USA …and they cannot help with a 10.2% unemployment rate. (See fantastic graphic here!) What we have here is a hell of a lot of taxation about to happen and this coming from a man who does not even represent the basic values of this country. He represents himself, not US.
The USA as Subservient? I never thought I would live long enough to see this great nation subservient to other nations in the world, and I always thought the person who represented us would feel the same (if not more!) patriotism in his heart than I do … after all, he’s the “President.” But alas, none of this is true anymore. So I am being over taxed by a man who was given the job because he would stop the over-spending and represented by a man who struts about the world apologizing for the greatness of the USA and bowing to kings and emperors abroad. And here at home he cannot show the slightest respect for our values and ideals. Look for yourself …

The pictures are worth thousands of words. Can anybody else see a pattern here?
Do this man’s actions Represent YOU and YOUR Loyalties?
The Bottom Line
Why is this happening? A friend of mine today said, “Maybe it was what he was taught.“ Could it be that simple? Yes it could, look at his teaching and upbringing. I do not believe he is “acting with thought,” but rather that he is “programmed.” He does this (as well as (see above) cover his privates and not placing his hand over his heart during patriotic moments), totally without thinking. I believe he’s doing this “naturally” … no “scripting or planning”. It is “who” he is. It is “how” he was trained. We are witnessing the result of “bringing up baby” in an unpatriotic environment. We can see some of the same things in our own youth upbringing … “hey, what’s wrong with Socialism?” I don’t fault him for this, he is what he was trained to be, he is a “result.” I do blame the dumb masses who voted for him thus making him my representative to the world. The indicators were all there before the election … but alas, disregarded. All of this is a result of ignorance, more “ours” than “his.” He (sort of) can’t help it … WE CAN!
It was interesting everyone said Sarah Palin “wasn’t ready” for the Vice Presidency. Yet you watch this President of the United States make unpatriotic gaffes almost daily … talk about not being prepared … (or prepared the wrong way?) For instance, as a representative of the USA, you don’t “bow” to the representative of another country, you put out your hand in friendship, stand tall, and look them straight in the eye … at least as an equal. To see how it is done properly and improperly, CLICK HERE.
Respect for your country’s veterans and its flag is even less difficult:
- We are talking about a simple gesture of putting your hand over your heart (instead of using them to cover your privates!).
This is simple stuff … and he gets it wrong every time … perhaps it is what he was taught, and perhaps it is what he now believes, and it seems he is not going to change. If so, he simply does not represent ME.
And now he is about to tax me to death … while misrepresenting me to the world …
… my values
… my ideals
… my country.
So I am left with … taxation without representation.
(Isn’t that how it all started the last time?)

Comment on Free Republic:
He thinks he’s showing us all how smart he is for knowing another culture’s customs, but he’s really just showing his ignorance.
