The Associated Press headlined, “It's the law of the land: Health overhaul signed.” The reporter then begins her pernicious propaganda “news” item with the opening paragraph:

WASHINGTON – Claiming a historic triumph that could define his presidency, a jubilant Barack Obama signed a massive, nearly $1 trillion health care overhaul on Tuesday that will for the first time cement insurance coverage as the right of every U.S. citizen and begin to reshape the way virtually all Americans receive and pay for treatment...(complete article here).

Just who is kidding whom? Going back to my high school Civics class, a bill must pass both houses of Congress before it can be signed into law by the President.

The “Health Care Overhaul” passed the House of Representatives. The same legislation has NOT, let me repeat NOT, been passed by the Senate. Reconciliation must happen first. The "signing ceremony” was a fraud! Nothing has changed! The signing ceremony was nothing more than a HUGE publicity stunt, UNLESS…

The current administration has shown a decided lack of interest in or desire to follow or “uphold the Constitution,” a phrase which is included in any number of oaths taken by office holders. Should the Emperor and his lackeys in Congress decide go the traitorous step of ignoring the legitimate provisions for making law, then they have truly become tyrants. This is true tyranny!!

The fourth sentence of the Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms reads:

Yet, however blinded that assembly may be, by their intemperate rage for unlimited domination, so to sight justice and the opinion of mankind, we esteem ourselves bound by obligations of respect to the rest of the world, to make known the justice of our cause.

Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and George Mason would be spinning in their graves if they were witness to the “intemperate rage for unlimited domination” which is being displayed by Congress and Emperor Obama. The members of the 1775 British Parliament were amateurs compared to the despots at the reigns of the Columbian Empire. Justice and the opinion of mankind are of no consequence to this bunch!

Tennesseans must wake up to the reality of the massive dictatorship which looms before us. We must take hold of our God-given, inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property. We must work together to establish a government which divorces itself from the Empire. The Tennessee League of the South as well as sister organizations throughout the South are working to make such a divorce a reality.

We must have a Tennessee Nation.
