President William Henry Harrison, was born FEBRUARY 9, 1773. He was the first President to die in office, serving the shortest term of only 30 days.

William Henry Harrison was an aide-de-camp to General “Mad Anthony” Wayne, who defeated the British and Indian forces at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, and later became President.

In his Inaugural Address, March 4, 1841, William Henry Harrison stated:

“The great danger to our institutions does…appear to me to be…the accumulation in one of the departments of that which was assigned to others.

Limited as are the powers which have been granted, still enough have been granted to constitute a despotism if concentrated in one of the departments….particularly…the Executive branch.

…The tendency of power to increase itself, particularly when exercised by a single individual…would terminate in virtual monarchy…”

“Republics can commit no greater error than to…continue any feature in their systems of government which may…increase the love of power in the bosoms of those to whom necessity obliges them to commit the management of their affairs…

When this corrupting passion once takes possession of the human mind, like the love of gold it becomes insatiable. It is the never-dying worm in his bosom, grows with his growth and strengthens with the declining years of its victim…

It is the part of wisdom for a republic to limit the service of that officer at least to whom she has entrusted the management of her foreign relations, the execution of her laws, and the command of her armies and navies to a period so short as to prevent his forgetting that HE IS THE ACCOUNTABLE AGENT, not the principle; the SERVANT, not the master…”

“This state of things has been in part affected by…the never-failing tendency of political power to increase itself….

“It is not by the extent of its patronage alone that the Executive department has become dangerous, but by the use which it appears may be made of the appointing power to bring under its control the whole revenues of the country….”

“There was wanting no other addition to the powers of our Chief Magistrate to stamp monarchical character on our Government but the control of the public finances…

The first Roman Emperor, in his attempt to seize the sacred treasure, silenced the opposition…by a significant allusion to his sword…”

Everything he spoke of is upon us today in the personage of Obama, the House and Senate, and a Judicial branch that all seem to have lost what moral compass they may have at one time possessed.

They have all abrogated their oath of office, and if any of them have not, then you dear readers name me one Congressman or Senator that has stood up publicly and challenged the legitimacy of the putative squatter in our White House.

Let us go even further, who in the media has risen to challenge this thing who calls himself the President of the United States?

He spends money we don’t have, like a “Sharecropper” who just won the lottery(it is our money, NOT YOURS).

He claims to be a lawyer, but has anyone seen a transcript from a law school, or an undergraduate transcript?

He refuses to answer to a subpoena as if a court subpoena means nothing, however, if you or I tried that, there would be a badge knocking on our door with an arrest warrant for contempt of court.

The very first political article I ever wrote was entitled: “The barbarians are at the gates with pitchforks”

Perhaps all of you denizens of “Clowntown D.C.” might keep that in mind.

Character is to man what carbon is to steel!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
