Well the major 2 parties have thoroughly screwed up this time. Not only have they ruined any semblance of freedom for the existing generation, they have buried the next 2 generations so deep in debt, that few of our grandkids will ever comprehend what quality of life feels like. This has triggered a major backlash in America. It has resulted in the tidal wave of support for a new party. This new party is collectively being referred to as the new american tea party.
So how did we get to this point? The revolutionary war was a result of people who had been pushed to their breaking point with rules and ever growing taxes. Sound familiar? This started with the Boston teaparty in which the tea was dumped into the harbor. Citizens then as now do not like to have the money from their work taken from them and then spent on things they don’t believe in. It was that way then and it is that way now. You can not change human nature. Individuals are endowed with rights by the creator and one of those rights is liberty. The founding fathers had no clue that the totalitarianism of King George would ever be able to rot America ever again. They cautiously wrote our constitution to prevent it from happening.
What they didn’t realize is that the nation would shift away from Christian foundations to a humanist philosophy of elites determining what is best for the masses. As good as the constitution was, no document is any good if the leaders sworn to uphold it simply overlook it. That is what has happened. Every year little by little, we lose more of our freedoms. Each year more new laws and rules are forced on us that can imprison us should they be enforced. The undermining of our free market system started after world war II when soviet spies were given positions in our government. Read a great book by Ann Coulter called Treason for an in depth history of how that happened.
Which brings us to today and the proliferation of the tax day tea parties april 15 events everywhere. These aren’t the kooks and extremists that the evening news would have you believe. No these are truly the traditional typical Americans who understand what freedom and liberty are, and see it slipping away. They aren’t from any one party. They include members from at the very least 5 parties from all walks of life, race and religions. When a neighborhood hospital closes it’s doors because some law requires them to treat for free non citizens, that isn’t racist, that is a legitimate hardship to people. When it is taught in schools that abortion is a choice yet wearing a seat belt is not a choice, there is something not right. When legislation is going through capitol hill that something a person says can land that person in jail under the stamp of hate speech, then something is wrong.
Massachusetts is known as the most socialist sympathetic state as a whole in America. It is nicknamed Taxachusetts. Since the present leadership with super majorities in both houses can do whatever it wants in theory, this makes millions of people nervous. When it was learned that this government was going to bankrupt the nation with socialized health care, in which each citizen would be forced to buy no matter how poverty-stricken, the rebellion of the teaparts even reached into taxachusetts. Scott Brown, a liberal republican promised to put an end to the hated health care takeover and he won the election by a large margin.

Previous to 1967, when the 25th Amendment was approved, there was no clear legitimate system for the temporary turn over of command when a president became unwell or injured. Next are cases when such occurrence occurred plus some exciting sidelights. This is just one of the Human Issues even presidents of the most authoritative country in the world encounter.
For the period of his second time, Grover Cleveland underwent surgical procedure to remove cancerous tissue from his jaw. Cleveland wanted to keep his condition secret because the financial system was also ailing. He arranged to use the yacht of his pals Commodore Elias Benedict, the Oneida, as an improvised floating hospital. He was back on the job in a month; the operation was not publicly known until 1917, when one of the surgeons published a extensive account in the Saturday Evening Post.
Woodrow Wilson fell ill in September 1919 while on a tour of the country and suffered a severe stroke a few days later. While on the road to recovery, Wilson refused to give his sense of duty to Vice President Thomas Marshall. His wife Edith was the gatekeeper to the president during his recovery, and she was thought to have had extensive rule over the course of public affairs.
Warren Harding fell sick in 1923, on the journey from Alaska to California on the Voyage of Understanding, a national tour commited to endorse his presidential plans. He was believed to be a victim of food poisoning. Six weeks later, at the same time as the President’s wife Florence, read a flattering magazine report to her better half, the president had a stroke and passed away. Florence Harding prohibited an autopsy, and several years later an author charged her of poisoning her husband, but the majority of historians do not believe this to be true.
Before Franklin Roosevelt became the president, he was partly paralyzed as a result of polio and often sat on a wheel chair, even if as a regulation photographers were not allowable to photograph him in the chair. In spite of his wish to project a healthy image, during his 12-year-plus reign, Roosevelt suffered from sinusitis, impacted wisdom teeth, bronchitis, several bouts of infection, systolic and diastolic hypertension, anemia, gallbladder problems, bronchial pneumonia, pulmonary sickness, and congestive heart failure. He died in office of a cerebral hemorrhage thought to have been grounded by his heart problems and high blood pressure.
Dwight Eisenhower had a heart attack in September 1955. The president asserted this was his first, but Dr. Thomas Mattingly, a cardiologist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, alleged it may have been his third and that the two earlier once (one in 1953, when Ike was president) were reported as inexplicable sicknesses. In June 1956, while campaigning for a second tenure, Eisenhower submitted himself to surgery for ileitis, or enlargement of the intestine. In November 1957, after welcoming the comming president of Morocco, Ike had a minor stroke. While campaigning for Nixon in 1960, he experienced ventricular fibrillation.
