Sedition is ignoring the constitution

Gee, and here I thought that we were just a bunch of racist redneck bitter clingers who loved our country. It turns out that we are just a bunch of racist redneck bitter clingers who hate our country. Who knew? Well that’s according to Governor Deval Patrick who said opposition to President Obama’s agenda “is almost at the level of sedition.”


Sedition? Sometimes these slimy, me first, 10 pounds of crap stuffed into a 5 pound bag pols tend to use words they don’t understand, like Janet Imcompetono referring to the Gulf of Mexico as an ocean or demagogically like P-BO telling us that the cops acted stupidly – when in fact nobody acted as stupidly as he. Anyway, let’s take a look at this word “sedition:

Merriam-Webster.com defines sedition as "incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.''

Wow! It almost seems like you should be put in jail for things like an “insurrection against lawful authority.” So what is “lawful authority?” Picture a man trying to break down a door to a home in a neighborhood at night. The neighbors call the cops telling them that someone trying to break into a house in the neighborhood. The cops show up. The man becomes belligerent and is jailed. Now what led the man to be jailed, the man challenging the cops “lawful authority” or were the cops just acting stupidly?  Damn cops.

Where do laws come from? For the public school crowd, laws are passed through a legislative body. They are enforced by an executive and interpreted by judges. Federal laws are passed by congress and are to be within the confines set forth in the US Constitution – the US Constitution being the basis for federal “lawful authority.”

But we have all kinds of unconstitutional things going on – the government just passed a law requiring the people to buy health insurance. I wish they’d pass a law that everyone must read Lex everyday and pay a dollar to do it. That’d be nice. As far as know that’d be unconstitutional. There is something in Article I limiting congressional power to give preference of one blog over another. Sure the framers say “commerce” but we all know that they meant blogs.

And given that clause, how did the government come to own, GM, Chrysler, AIG and a hand of other companies?

And what about all of these unelected czars and commissions running things? Aren’t they a bit extra constitutional? The basis for our “lawful authority” in this country – the US Constitution – does a pretty good job of laying out who is responsible for doing what in this country. Nowhere does it mention czars (in fact it sort of prohibits them), presidential or congressional commissions. Yet these extra constitutional, unregulated and unaccountable bodies abound in government today.

So if the US Constitution is the basis for our own “lawful authority” and it is this administration that has ignored the constitution and violated its plain language, who is it that’s really being seditious? The people who say, “Hold on there Skippy, square what you just did with what it says in our constitution” or the people ignoring the constitution - the basis of federal "lawful authority" - to get what they want?
