Here’s my take on the far-reaching effects of Roberts decision (strictly my own observations. I am not a Constitutional lawyer like our exalted leader). John Roberts didn’t murder the Constitution, as I’ve heard a number of folks aver. He left it there, but made it irrelevant if the government chooses to treat it so, by adding new abilities for the government to enforce compliance with | Read More »
If you have graduated college within the past three years, about 85% of you have returned home to live with mom and dad. That would be the mom and dad that pay the vast majority of the household bills, and probably in many cases are even making the payments on your student loans. In point of fact, mom and dad are not only paying the | Read More »
An awful lot of people in the media and on various blogs are demanding the police arrest Zimmerman. This is just another indicator that 99% of the folks in this country really don’t know how our criminal justice system works. It is exceptionally stunning to me that a lot of lawyers are in the group crying for the police to arrest Zimmerman and hold him | Read More »
It came to my attention while watching Neil Cavuto today that beginning in 2014, the Federal Government is going to require the electronic reporting of everyone’s BMI (body mass index) by all health care providers as part of Obamacare. Sec 4103 (a) COVERAGE OF PERSONALIZED PREVENTION PLAN SERVICES.— (1) IN GENERAL.—Section 1861(s)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395x(s)(2)) is amended… (b) PERSONALIZED PREVENTION | Read More »
On a daily basis anymore, and with ever more frequency as the elections approach, political discussion in every form of media is drifting toward one subject: What is it that is driving the renewed interest in politics? What, specifically, has brought Americans to their heightened state of political awareness, and how is that motivation going to play out in the coming elections? Is this specifically | Read More »
In short, Democrats feel they have to pass Obamacare because if they don’t, the Republican Health Care Reform proposals WILL ultimately pass, and they know they WILL work, and Republicans will get credit for it. Successful health care reform will go down in history as a Republican, not Democrat, success. The bill the Dems have been working on for ‘sixty years’ will have failed, and | Read More »
The short version: Target House Democrats much more than Senate Democrats in your anti-Obamacare campaigning, and do it NOW and do it hard. The long version: It’s going to be tough to be a Democrat up for election this year, and today, they may have outsmarted themselves and made it even tougher. I say this because today at the Health care Summit, they refused to | Read More »
In his State of the Union address last night, President Obama proposed a 3 year freeze on federal discretionary spending, as a means of starting to reduce the federal deficit. Pundits from all over the political spectrum had comments on the efficacy of such a proposal, most of them completing their thoughts by saying something to the effect of, “$250 billion in savings over ten | Read More »
The election of Scott Brown was remarkable in many ways, but one of the most important was in a way little discussed in political circles. It was just this: The election of Scott Brown caused all the pundits and about half the politicians to formulate and express an opinion as to why it happened. In this way, we got a wide view into the national | Read More »
Let us all pray for the President, with particular reference to Psalm 109:8
An ongoing topic regarding the Obama administration is the obvious and upcoming increase in taxes to the middle class…. despite Obama’s campaign promises to the contrary. Taxes are, after all, the primary way government acquires the revenues it spends, and this administration has completely blown away all previous spending records. Since the money wasn’t sitting in an account waiting to be spent, Obama and Congress | Read More »
General McChrystal has been asking for a substantial troop increase in Afghanistan for some weeks now, and the White House has been up ’til now unresponsive. Ostensibly the reason for the delay has been to give the President and his ‘“foreign policy expert” Vice President Joe Biden, time to mull over alternatives and come up with a really good plan, rather than to just jump | Read More »
Okay. President Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize, and , of course, Americans should feel proud of our fearless leader. But why stop there? Go to this link and we can vote for him as a write-in candidate for the Heisman Trophy. He certainly deserves that every bit as much as the Nobel Peace Prize, and we, his constituents, can help with the selection process. | Read More »
One of the truly great accomplishments of the founding fathers (and indeed, the foundational accomplishment) was the acknowledgment of human rights, and the attendant verbalizing, and eventual codifying of certain human rights in the first Ten Amendments, commonly called the Bill of Rights. At the time of the ratification of the Constitution, there were opponents to ratification whose opposition was based on the fact that | Read More »
I have of late, been finding in my mailbox copies of folks’ AARP resignation letters. Some of them are quite entertaining. They all bear the common theme (as would be expected) that those resigned to resign feel AARP has in effect become a bunch of toadies for the Democratic machine with little interest in representing their members. With claims of special treatment, kickbacks, and massive | Read More »
It seem like every time the Democrats bring up the subject of Health Care Reform, tort reform, as a possibility, is given short shrift. In fact, it has been a consistent mainstay of Republican reform suggestions throughout the debates. You know… those Republican suggestions that the Democrats continually say the Republicans aren’t making. In fact, Republicans have been advancing a number of ideas, each of | Read More »
WASHINGTON, DC –September 25th There will be a national prayer gathering of Muslims on the west front of the U.S. Capitol Building. They are expecting at least 50,000 to attend from mosques all across America. They will gather to pray from 4:00 AM until 7:00 PM. The gathering will take place by the site where U.S. Presidents have been inaugurated since 1981. The organizers say | Read More »
I’m looking at the pictures on Fox news right now of over 60,000 people gathered at the capital, specifically to protest and address Obama’s assorted policies and attempts to remake our form of governance. Some say over 100,000. Where’s our president? Cowering in Minnesota. He knew this was coming, and he felt the need to find an excuse to get out of town, from where | Read More »
I was driving down the freeway with my wife the other day, when I noticed a large group of men by the roadside wearing orange jump suits and stuffing roadside litter into orange plastic bags. We had just been discussing all the “green jobs” that the stimulus package and Obama’s budget were likely to produce, and wondering when we would start seeing the creations of | Read More »
