Adam Sharp (an apt last name) proved beyond any doubt why the Tea Party is important and today’s Republican leadership is worthless. At a recent ObamaCare town hall meeting held by Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill), Sharp (a St. Louis Tea Partier) began to ask the congressman an important question. “Where in the Constitution does…” Fearing where Sharp was going, Hare cut him off. “I don’t worry about the Constitution on this,” Hare responded. Shocked by the congressman’s honesty, Sharp asked, “ You care more about that [ObamaCare] than the U.S. Constitution that you swore to uphold?” Hare quickly composed himself and spouted every petty American tyrant’s apology for stepping on the liberty of his countrymen, “I believe it [the Constitution] says we have a right to ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’” Our Founding Fathers, it turns out, crafted a document not of liberty but of dependence and income redistribution.
The American Civil Liberties Union represents Nazis, pornographers and jihadists on behalf of the Constitution. President Obama even taught Constitutional Law at Harvard. The Republican standard-bearer in the last presidential race, John McCain, helped craft a campaign finance law the U.S. Supreme Court recently struck down as violating our Constitution’s cherished First Amendment free speech right. When Tea Partiers say they want to “take the country back,” what they mean is that they demand the government end its lawlessness and abide by those restraints placed upon it by the nation's founding document.
President Obama, Rep. Phil Hare and Sen. John McCain “don’t worry about the Constitution” because it gets in the way of “getting things done for the country.” And if your liberties get trampled in their hurried rush, well, it can’t be helped.
Thinking Americans owe Adam Sharp a big thanks and a pat on the back for getting a big-government politician to say what’s really on the mind of Washington's rulers.
It also underscores why every – and I mean every – incumbent needs to go. Republican incumbents in the primaries, and Democrats in November. If our representatives won’t abide by the document that begins “We the People,” it’s because We the People are aiding and abetting our nation's political criminal class.
