Sandy Hook Resident: Elected Officials Are Fundamentally Dishonest

Sandy_Hook_Memorial The following letter from a Sandy Hook resident was published in the Newtown Bee on January 10, 2013. It’s making the rounds on the internet; worth the read.

To the Editor:

This letter was forwarded to Barack Obama, John Boehner, Chris Murphy, Dick Blumenthal, Elizabeth Esty, and Harry Reid.

I live in Sandy Hook, CT. My family and close friends weren’t harmed on December 14. That day impacted 26 families with an indescribable, staggering pain and anguish. For most of Sandy Hook, it merely affected us with an inescapable intensity of sadness and grief.

Gun control has long been a focus of many in this country. Though I’m not knowledgeable of all the nuances of the Second Amendment, based on the Founding Fathers’ circumstances, it had far more to do with enabling the citizenry to protect themselves against tyrannical government than against local psychopaths. It is about providing a balanced firepower so when King George’s successor came knocking on your door, you could fight back. Government today is no less inclined to abuse its authority than it was then. Based on the absurd and ongoing power grab that is present day Washington, it’s as threatening as ever.

That so many of you view the NRA with its resistance to further restrictions on firearms as intransigent lunatics has far more to do with how you conduct yourselves in office than it does with the NRA’s actions.

You in public office are fundamentally dishonest people. You lead lives of deception at every turn, structuring your lives as comfortably as you can while governing with an indifference and arrogance that is absolutely maddening …

Judge Napolitano: The Second Amendment is about the right to shoot tyrants, not deer!
“…The historical reality of the Second Amendment’s protection of the right to keep and bear arms is not that it protects the right to shoot deer. It protects the right to shoot tyrants, and it protects the right to shoot at them effectively, WITH THE SAME INSTRUMENTS THEY WOULD USE UPON US…”

God bless this true American!! We need millions more of him to stand up the
corrupt criminals in DC and locally. By the way why isn’t “Todd” the mind numbed
little troll who infests these websites spewing his hate over this article like
he does everywhere else. Must be his time out.

THIS quote says it all … but they won’t even comprehend what it means: “You in public office are fundamentally dishonest people. You lead lives of deception at every turn, structuring your lives as comfortably as you can while governing with an indifference and arrogance that is absolutely maddening …”

  In fact, these officials probably never saw the letter. Some low level staffer probably shredded it and only gave them positive input to support their image of themselves

WHY are elected officials fundamentally dishonest and WHY do we keep electing them?

Here are some possible answers to the second question: 1) Americans’ memories are wiped clean every four years. 2) Electors, with eternal hope (short memories), don’t think they have any other option than to keep doing the same thing every four years.

The answer to the first question is because when, in Article 6, the framers banned Christian tests for federal officials, they all but eliminated Biblical qualifications. It was, consequently, inevitable that we would end up with the nincompoops, scroundrels, and outright criminals in Washington DC and in our State capitals that we have today.

For a Biblical alternative to both problems, see online Chapters 5 and 9 “Article 2: Executive Usurpation” and “Article 6: The Supreme Law of the Land” of “Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/BlvcOnline/blvc-index.html.

  “Americans’ memories are wiped clean” by Article 6, really? That is your argument? I didn’t know a piece of paper could do that, wow!
  
  No Ted you are wrong and passing the blame off on dead men again. We have bad leaders because the men of this country, which includes you, do not elect Christian leaders and do not get on their knees and repent. Buck passing to prop up your shaky theology will never change America.

obama’s administration is the worst in history and is loaded with every file thing you can imagine. Tax cheats, felons, crooks, communist, gun runners, dopers, killers, terrorist, judges that are bought and paid for, and they also are anti God.

Elected officials HAVE to be dishonest. It is a requirement. They are not required to make a religious test oath, which would invoke Yahewh to strike them dead for lying. But they are required to make an oath to a man-made document that claims that it, rather than His law, is to be the supreme law of the land.

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
