That said , at least he can’t pick Biden Sr. Anyone else, for the most part, is a step up…

That’s about it… the only good thing about it is now we can maybe vote out some of those who voted for it and elect in some new people who are all about getting rid of it.

Except that in ruling the mandate a tax it means you can’t be legislated into buying a GM vehicle (or whatever)… But you can still be taxed to support GM…

Obamacare was going to be an issue whether repealed or not.

Repealing it would have been better in my opinion, but it was narrowly upheld so we the people have to deal with it.

I wonder if this will be the spark that leads to the end of “modern liberalism” aka the hijacking of our institutions by the extreme left. Or is it on more step to all of us becoming completely owned by our government instead of the other way around.

My biggest question that won’t truly be answered before the election is this one: Will Romney really destroy Obamacare if he is elected?

Another question that comes to mind is this going to help the O or will it energize the conservative movement enough to out him and the insanity of the far left.

My favorite quote:

(4) Finally, about claims “the science is settled” on global warming: “One thing that being a scientist has taught me is that you can never be certain about anything. You never know the truth. You can only approach it and hope to get a bit nearer to it each time. You iterate towards the truth. You don’t know it.”

In my opinion essentially the “environmental” movement has been hijacked for political anti-west gain by the left and essentially gone mental over the years.

Just nice to see someone who was for it at the beginning turn around and say something to the effect of “well maybe/maybe not the science isn’t really truly settled yet”. Also nice to see him call it a religion. The only unfortunate thing about the article is that he’ll likely be ignored by the anti-human fanatics though because he’s not telling them what they want to hear…

Barring that will it spread of it’s own accord if Russia/China/Iran decide to back Syria against the rest of the middle east?

Just have a bad feeling about the whole situation there.

It was a great victory for the taxpayers, even the ones who didn’t want it, and a stinging rebuke about the issues involved.

You might expect this to be a “don’t get to confident post” but it’s not. By November, if not next week or like by today, the victory will be forgotten down the memory hole of the “mainstream” media outlets and many, many of the new media will have moved on to other stories.

The real danger is not overconfidence on the part of the right, but rather that it is a wake up call to the overconfident left.

The real danger is that the left will see what they’re really up against and get even more desperate than they would be.

Personally I think that’s fine. Either the left continues with current course and meets the dustbin of history or they get even more extreme in their methods and hasten that moment.

That said, they might also completely change course, temporarily, fund-raise ludicrously from everywhere that hates the US and take whatever steps, legal or not, are needed to ensure they retain power. The real danger is that the folks on the right might not prepare for worst case extreme tactics that might be used against them.

I’m not worried about the left/right fundraising/get out the vote stuff, I’m worried about stuff like an indictment suddenly hits a seemingly random company that happens to be supportive of the right and it finds itself browbeaten and fighting for it’s life in court because it gave money to a right wing cause. I’m worried about the supposedly neutral DOJ declaring a county’s votes invalid while turning a blind eye to groups who actively intimidate voters at the polls. I’m worried about real fraud that goes unchecked because it’s in favor of the DOJ’s current administration… I’m worried about the publication for vilification/intimidation purposes and either swarming or swatting tactics etc that are the new battles that must be fought against. These are the real tactics of real tyrants and they and anything else like them must be fought.

While we have the past as a record of what to fight against/be prepared for the question in my mind is what is the next most dastardly thing the left will do to win? I’m not asking for a list here. It is just a thought being posed for anyone who supports the right or is in charge of anything that could be attacked by the left. Proper planning for the attack can mean drowning out firestorm at the few few sparks and turning the attack back on the arsonist…

I wonder if Bain is going to stake the outcome of the election for team not-sparkly now…

Just my two cents here but…

Don’t we strengthen our hand by keeping them and *maybe* releasing them for actual gains once the gains are realized?

Has no one learned that the opposition, the Taliban, is allowed/encouraged to lie to us “infidels” by doctrine/scripture etc?

Or is this something worse, sheer incompetency on display by the administration or are they actively trying to help the side that is shooting at our guys?

One can only imagine the play this gets for the Taliban:

Thank allah for putting a spell on the infidels to release you! See-we were right about our cause being holy etc etc… feel free to go back to fighting them…

or mebbe

They are that stupid! Here’s your new identity papers and bonus for trying again – go get’em!

or…

Of course they are releasing us, they do not want to win – did you learn nothing from Vietnam?

(etc ad nausea)

For a brief second I considered voting for Gingrich but there was an article over on drudge that said he was *considering* dropping out later this week… (which to me reading between the lines seems more like “will drop out soon so why bother”).

Took my Mother to vote, she’s registered as a democrat and was disappointed that she has to wait until the fall to vote against Obama…

Taking my Sweetie to vote after she gets off work… she’s also a democrat and miffed there’s no one on the democrat ticket to oppose Obama in PA.  I sort of mentioned the write in option and Santorum a few times to her yesterday and she seemed to warm to that possibility…

I think this is the only time I can remember when coming out of Winter that I’ve really wanted the Summer over already so November can get here…

The prosecutor who decided to go after Zimmerman failed to disclose that information? Tsk tsk… perhaps she needs to lose her job. In a rare moment of channel surfing luck I landed on Fox news as they were announcing she was coming out to make a statement and watched her live on tv. She seemed to be like a kid in a candy store as she made full use of the spotlight to put out that she was pursuing charges against Zimmerman. Watching her I saw someone being truly evil, she relished the spotlight, relished the ability to stand there and say how she was only pursuing the charges because “something” was there and not because of the public uproar. She basically put on a good show of lying to the nation, in my opinion. There is the face of real evil – happy to wield the power of her office, defiant in the face of facts, omitting relevant facts that do not fit her narrative of pursuing the conviction of someone who committed no crime.

Mob rule = no justice

Rule of law = to know justice

The rule of law is only as perfect as the people who run it but it’s generally better than than mob rule.

Mob rule is only effective at getting what the mob was whipped up for, and that is rarely truly anything close to real justice.

If the people inciting mobs against Zimmerman had the their way Zimmerman would be killed for lawfully defending himself.  If the politically pandering official who filed charges has her way Zimmerman will be put in jail for legally defending himself.

The real evil in this case is not that a young thug died, a tragic loss in itself, but that so many can scream so loudly in the face of all evidence to the contrary of what they are screaming about and still get charges filed where there should be none filed.

I hope that the case against Zimmerman is thrown out pretrial based on the eyewitness accounts and the previously withheld photos of a bloodied Zimmerman. I hope Zimmerman’s lawyers spend the next several years suing the Black Panthers, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and everyone else who have wronged Zimmerman by screaming for his neck before the facts were fully disclosed and even more importantly go after those who continued to pursue Zimmerman after the facts have essentially cleared him of a crime.

The defining thing about the Zimmerman case is that it is a barometer that shows us how evil in a banal way some people can be when it is convenient for them/advances them or their agenda. It illustrates how some people are willing to be led like sheep by unscrupulous individuals. The other truly chilling thing it shows is how disinterested in facts people can be when the facts aren’t in their favor.

In my opinion the prosecutor needs to lose her job and the willfully negligent people in the media who doctored tapes along with any others who misled the public should all be punished for the real crime of undermining the rule of law and defaming someone who legally defended himself from being beaten to death by an aggressive adult sized want to be thug.
