POTUS Imposes Sanctions on the American People!

There has been extensive dialogue on the use of economic sanctions during the course of international diplomacy but I struggle to understand how the President of the United States has applied a unilateral approach to economically sanction not only the people who elected him but the economy of a country he represents.  Okay, before anyone gets their undershorts twisted up, the President did not write a specific executive order which states he has imposed sanctions on Americans but for the record; he has marshaled executive orders that have curtailed or abolished our ability to be energy independent.  He has commanded the Environmental Protection Agency to not issue any new licenses regarding the construction of new oil refineries.  He has ordered a moratorium on off shore drilling.

In the current wake of the sizeable rise in gasoline prices, the governmental bureaucracies continue to hand cuff our ability to not only extract the petroleum resources to generate jobs and lower gas prices but they have also ceased the issuance of new licenses to build new refineries.  We are all aware that without refineries, the oil is useless as a product for consumption for our transportation means as well as our ability to compete assertively in a global economy. Why must our economy be at the whim of other nations?  What happened to our independence?

It is a reasonable question to ask the President how come we are not drilling for oil and natural gas in our country.  The President’s political ideology should not supersede the needs of our country!  Is this republic government that our founders envisioned?  Can someone please substantiate where in the U.S. Constitution it decrees that the President has unilaterally authority to control and oversee private industries!   Why does the President want the American people, who are suffering from inflation and have very little disposable income be the victims of his political ideology?  What is most disconnecting regarding his campaign for his political ideology on helping the working class and the poor but they are the ones who are getting hit the hardest with the rise in gasoline prices.  Small businesses are attacked with an increase in cost for the delivery of products.  Maybe it is part of the New World Order in promoting chaos and division so that government can be proclaimed as the liberator and justifying the expansion of the federal government much like national healthcare.

As a born and bred Texan, the time has come for Texas to battle the 4^th branch of the federal government (bureaucracy) for our constitutional right to self govern and independently refrain from unfunded government mandates and unconstitutional executive orders that have oppressed the state’s ability to self-govern versus the federal agencies who are the fundamental beneficiaries of such orders.

It was Benjamin Franklin who was approached by the wife of the mayor of Philadelphia on the enactment of the U.S. Constitution as she asked him what the new government would be and he responded, “A republic, madam.  If you can keep it.”  As citizens of the this great country and as guardians of the constitution, it is our responsibility to ensure we keep this great nation a republic just as the men and women who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces to protect and defend the constitution.  Let us restore our constitution, renew our commitment to a republic form of government, and reunite in our aspiration of less government by reducing an insolent and disobedient administrative government that restrict our liberties.
