They Never Stop, They Never Sleep, They Never Quit
In case you were naive or foolish enough to assume that the Obama administration might call off its war on traditional America in honor of our national holiday, think again:
The Obama administration pressed the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to take up the rights of same-sex couples, asking the justices to bypass an appellate panel and review the case of a San Francisco court employee seeking federal insurance for her wife – a request the administration now supports.
In simultaneous filings, the Justice Department sought Supreme Court review of cases in California and Massachusetts challenging the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law denying federal benefits to same-sex couples legally married under their state laws.
The lefties are swarming now, feeling their oats after the disgraceful Sebelius decision, eager to press their advantage, and DOMA makes a nice fat target while the rest of the country is grilling hamburgers and loving our country (as I do today in my New York Post column) in that good old-fashioned way. Never mind that — unlike Obamacare — DOMA was passed in 1996 by large majorities in Congress and (like Obamacare) signed into law by a Democratic president, and reflected perfectly the nation’s understanding of one of human society’s most basic institutions.
But that’s not good enough for our president — a man who’s only recently come out of the political closet on the issue — who refers to it as the “so-called Defense of Marriage Act,” and has ordered his politically compliant Justice Department not to defend it. Now he wants a browbeaten Supreme Court to rubber-stamp his repeal effort, right now, rather than leaving it up to, you know, the people:
The filing was unusual because the case is now before the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, which has scheduled arguments for September. Lawyers hired by U.S. House Republican leaders have defended the law since President Obama withdrew his administration’s support in February 2011, more than a year before Obama endorsed the right of gays and lesbians to marry.
In Tuesday’s filing, Justice Department lawyers said the case involves issues of “such imperative public importance” that it deserves immediate Supreme Court review, particularly because the Massachusetts case is already pending before the court.
During my middle and high school civics lessons, 40 years ago, I actually came to respect what a wonderful achievement this country’s founders brought forth. It never occurred to me that grifters, thugs, and narcissists were the type attracted to political leadership, and that if you weren’t careful they’d overrun once respectable institutions. Meanwhile, I think people like me who had learned respect for those institutions believed all was well and those “checks and balances” would keep the worst from happening. How naive! Those character types mentioned above knew exactly how to pull the wool over the eyes of everyone not paying attention.
I’ve got news for them…we’re paying attention now.
He needs to be impeached but no one has the stomach for it.
He’s the great divider, creating a huge divide between blacks and whites, wealthy and poor, left and right and the intelligent and the duped.
Why to stomach? Affirmative action. If Obama were white, he would have been out of office by now & we’d be witness to President Joe Biden.
Bobbcat, please don’t scare everyone like that!!
He never would have gotten a free pass in life & been elected in the first place
How many times does it have to be pointed out that it is useless to impeach a president in the House when the Senate is democrat controlled. It would be tabled before the ink was dry.
OK- then in those categories severally, which are you? Also there’s “drunk or sober”
“…needs to be impeached…” On what grounds? That you don’t like him?
Further, on what basis is he a divider? It’s the Republicans who’ve repudiated programs and plans that they invented (Romneycare/Obamacare; Cap and Trade, etc.) simply to create the appearance of a radical leftist (such tripe – do you really believe it – certainly the real Left doesn’t).
Last, it’s really funny that on Independence Day, when another PJ article celebrates the Founders for creating a document which continues to expand equality (despite their failure to recognize women, non-landowners or slaves at the time), this article decries the same expansion of equality. I suppose that the author and most commenters here would prefer to be back to the time when “traditional values” meant neither women nor non-property-owners could vote. OK….
“Are you Serious? … Are you SERIOUS ?”
(Go troll yourself!)
Mike,
In an imp of the perverse situation obozo may be the great unifier. Unifying so many to vote him out of office.
And in complete bipartisanship, obozo’s budget has never gotten a single vote. Now that is an economic dunce, creating a unifying factor unheard of in so many years.
So we can hope that the country will be unified and this Unpatriotic, failure and economic dunce can be voted out of office
The “facing a possible defeat in November” concept is no longer a reliable characterization of the Obama 2012 campaign’s status.
On the heels of the Sebellius/ObamaTax SCOTUS decision, analyst Nate Silver has moved his assessment of November 6th from toss-up to a two-thirds likelihood of Obama reelection.
We need to fight and expose, expose and fight, as though doing so is a matter of preserving everyone’s endangered liberty and a matter of preserving the endangered character of this great country because — surprise, surprise — that’s indeed what this is all about.
Who is Nate Silver and why should I care?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Silver
The Cloward-Piven Strategy in it’s finest hour.
Obama had the bust of Churchill replaced with Benedict Arnold.
Nah, John Roberts.
I’m not sure it matters whether or not Obama is “facing a possible defeat in November” as Mr. Walsh contends. I don’t see Obama agreeing to leave office in January 2013 regardless of the election outcome. Paranoid? Unbelievable? Just as paranoid and unbelievable as an administration that would ship guns to criminals foreign country to undermine a constitutional rights, a president who would rule by fiat, or a president who would conduct a fundraiser in a foreign country on our Independence Day.
Watch for inexplicable changes in leadership in our Federal law enforcement agencies and military branches between now and November. Beware of Administration claims of a plot to subvert elections by Right-wing extremists as November approaches.
I sincerely hope that Obama isn’t re-elected in November. But if he isn’t, that may not be the end of our troubles.
I may be paranoid, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
If Obama refuses to leave office, Romney can simply order the military to escort him from the White House at gunpoint.
Perhaps Obama and those behind them will end up taking the Ceausescu challenge.
Good luck on your visit with the Secret Service.
This entire Administration has used the tyranny of urgency to wreak havoc on American traditional values for 31/2 years. They’ve done so much damage so quickly that we can’t even remember half of it.
I want some of what Nate Silver is smoking. Every vulnerable Democrat is distancing themselves from Obama. That speaks volumes about what they are hearing from voters.
Actions……not words.
I think Silver’s analysis is right. The vulnerable Dems are in hiding but there aren’t that many of them and the average “undecided” Presidential voter won’t even know or care about the actions of a particular politician. Romney really has a problem:
- everything bad with ObamaCare is bad with RomneyCare thanks to John “I’m not a Man(date)” Roberts
- we “know” everything about Obama, Romney is an unknown (Obama is old unreported news, nothing was seen, move along)
- Obama will run to the center after the convention, Romney will run to the center after the convention
- the average voter won’t start paying attention until after the conventions
So the average uninformed voter gets to decide between Mitt Obama or Barack Romney. If there’s no material difference then why not stick with Barack “Romney” Obama and skip the learning curve? Romney needs to run a strong, vigorous campaign to win but my TEA leaves say “tepid”. I could well be wrong but my impression is that Romney expects to win by just showing up – the same strategy that McCain utilized so successfully.
How insanely out of your frikkin’ mind does one have to be to be able to discern NO DIFFERENCE between Ostupid and Mittens?
Too much smoking of the political bong will do that to you. Take a deep breath of some clean air and, for God’s sake, LISTEN to what you just said!
If Obooboo wins, it’s because he cheated. Just like last time!
Or do you want to equate Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, Dole, and that idiot McCain with Romney, too?
Once you’ve come down from your high, try, just a bit, to evaluate what was really wrong with these candidates that Romney echoes. There is not one thing.
My only concern about Mittens is that he is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, not that he is an evil progressive. He is such a good man, deep down, that I fear he will refrain from the housecleaning DC needs. I would rather see fire and brimstone, not Mormon “understanding”.
But I wouldn’t fear for my life, liberty, and country like I do with that damn Kenyan in the White House.
The only people who care about Romneycare are conservatives and when it comes to a choice between Obama and Romney all of those with any sense and love of our country will vote Romney. Romney was not my first choice but I care more about saving this country from the socialist juggernaut than I care about having my way. This fight will not end with a presidential election even though it’s important we start it by replacing Obama.
There has to be a theory to explain what’s happening to America since GWB, 911, and now, Obama. I call it the Crumbling Theory: Once a foundation is broken (constitution) the walls will lose strength. The wall of the Court just showed stress cracks via Roberts. The wall that is congress has been infected by termites in the Senate and House. The wall that is the White House has replaced sturdy 2X4s with IOUs and debt instruments- trillions of them.
And finally, the wall that is our border has been left un-repaired too long.
That’s four walls that are weak on a foundation that is being jack-hammered away at by this and other administrations with reckless abandon. But this current crew is working 24/7 to blast away any protections provided by our founding documents.
My feeling is that those in charge of defending America aren’t interested for whatever reason. We will need an entire change of personnel to make the repairs needed to restore this country. We’ve got the people with the skills to do it, what they need is the opportunity. I’m not racist but, a black President and Attorney General give me pause. Even if they were dedicated to the task, I’m not sure they could ‘get her done’. Exhibit A: Haiti. Exhibit B: Africa.
I got to re-visit the Declaration of Independence via a radio show today and was amazed at the language and specificity of grievances with the Crown and what the states/colonies planned to do as a result. This was 200+ years ago. President Obama, two hundred years and a telepromter later can’t even come close to making the case for ‘redistribution of wealth’ and ‘fundamental transformation’ of America.
The day after we celebrate Happy Independence Day, I’ll be shopping for cases of ammo to compliment certain firearms before these too are subject to a new “tax”. Dependence is my greatest fear and we’re cultivating too much of it. When the cows don’t come home, things will get ugly. Let somebody else deal with ‘ugly’, I’ve got other plans.
RE: “a theory to explain what’s happening to America since GWB, 911″
The events of 9/11 were dramatic enough to get everyone’s attention, but the loss of liberty during the two centuries prior to that seems to have slipped past all of us. Another revolution has occurred while we were looking the other way. The last really big one was almost 80 years ago; here is what one observer of that time wrote:
There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.
There are those who have never ceased to say very earnestly, “Something is going to happen to the American form of government if we don’t watch out.” These were the innocent disarmers. Their trust was in words. They had forgotten their Aristotle. More than 2,000 years ago he wrote of what can happen within the form, when “one thing takes the place of another, so that the ancient laws will remain, while the power will be in the hands of those who have brought about revolution in the state.”
— Garet Garrett, The Revolution Was (1938)
Are we being softened up to accept polygamy?
Yes, and let me explain why.
I neither oppose nor support gay marriage. I think that, if it was merely a matter of a particular law, it would be no big deal either way. I don’t htink the American moral fibre will collapse due to it.
The *people* have the right to accept, or reject, same-sex marriage, as they see fit. There is nothing in the Constitution that forces the people to *not* pass a law making same-sex marriage legal — or, for that matter, polygamy. If the legistlature (elected by the people) of Vermont, say, declares that they will accept the union of two men and 13 women as marriage, they can. I would oppose such a law, but if it would pass, it would simply be another stupid law of thousands. The people have the right to draw the line where they want — THIS is marriage, THAT is not — without the fact that one draws the line somewhere mean those who are not recognized are somehow “discriminated” against.
But the moment same-sex marriage becomes a “constitutional right” (I wonder what Jefferson would have said about THAT) then there is absolutely no way polygamy, or for that matter incest, to not be recognized. For if we all have the right to the state to recognize our unions, then ALL unions must be legally recognized. All efforts to draw the line between marriage and non-marriage ANYWHERE would be declared “unconstitutional”, for daring to “discriminate” against those whose unions are not recognized.
In other words, what CAN collapse the American people is the imperial judiciary and its proliferation of invented “rights”, which in effect means that any law that elite liberals dislike is therefore “unconstitutional” — in other words, turning the country into an oligarchy instead of a republic.
(I must say that if there *must* be an oligarchy, I for one would prefer the oligarchy of the rich as opposed to that of the self-proclaimed “morally superior” and “sensitive” folks, as the rich at least might pass policies that work in the real world, and at least won’t try to make people’s views punishable thoughtcrimes, like most “hate speech” laws are.)
You forgot to point out that if it becomes a Constitutional right then it opens the door for every church in the country to be sued for hate crimes.
Well its seems obvious that you do care, but for the wrong reasons IMO.
It is not gay marriage specifically that the courts are protecting (or seeming to in most posters minds). Its the rights and privileges that are tied to the secular contract of marriage that the courts have stated that these cannot be denied to gays.
Get with the program folks.
And as far as your idea of what the people can vote to enforce upon the rest is not completely thought out either, again IMO.
For instance the people cannot vote to discriminate, that would be unconstitutional.
What’s that ol’ saying about pure democracy… it’s essentially “9 wolves and a sheep sitting around the fire discussing what to have for dinner”
katherine: are we being softened up to accept polygamy?
i would gladly accept polygamy now as a replacement for the confident kenyan’s plans for us. he sees vulnerability and pounces. weakness in our systems, created by feminists/marxists/socialists/communists (femarxisocialcommies) at many different levels is causing the entire dam to break. fraud, threats, there really is nothing they won’t do at this point to keep from losing. come november after all the cheating, and he still loses, there will be some attempt at a coup, before romney can be sworn into office. bet on it.
in honduras, once they had tricked the kenyan and quietly elected a new prez. obiwon did not want (not a marxist), they swore him in and installed him on the spot, to cut our kenyan’s attempts to overthrow that country’s democratic republic. they have had a lot of experience in the past w/ dictators, thus the clause in their constitution on one term at prez., ever. the kenyan tried to circumvent this and get his marxist buddy, zelaya, reinstated into the presidency. thanks to brave honduran’s following their constitution to the letter, they were able to oust zelaya (and thus chavez, by proxy). didn’t hear about it in our affirmative action uneducated press? gosh, that’s new (not).
Yeah, why is that horrible episode forgotten? Again, our President coming down against freedom and for tyranny.
Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration is a music video paying tribute to our nations founding founders and The Declaration of Independence. If you’re going to burn a bridge a Declaration of Independence is a pretty good way to do it and it certainly would have been too late to apologize to King George after it was published. This creative music video is part of an ongoing effort to facilitate learning in creative, innovative ways from Soomo Publishing and is based on “Apologize” by One Republic, featuring Timbaland, 2007.

Monagamy or polygamy is all the same to the left. What they want is to derail the status quo so they can grab any power that shakes loose. Change for changes sake.
It’s not like DOMA has any chance of surviving a Supreme Court challenge. It directly violates the “full faith and credit” clause – it was dead in the water from the moment it was passed.
Yet it’s been the law of the land for some 15 years – and signed by Clinton. This wasn’t a Bush law.
Oh, quite so. Clinton should have had the backbone to veto it – serious error on his part.
But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s unconstitutional on it’s basics. A clause of the Constitution cannot be overridden by mere law – that’s basic Constitutional Law 101 right there. The part that has amazed me is that no one has gotten certiorari over it prior to this.
It’s not unconstitutional. Any moron knows that. Except morons who want to dismantle every building block of America.
America – it was a good run. Nice while it lasted.
The last person out please turn off the light.
Yeah, yeah, wibble-wibble, “this is the end!”
We’ve heard it all before and it wasn’t very interesting then, either. Nor is it any kind of argument or reason.
Well, sorry, but there is simply zero chance that DOMA can pass SCOTUS review. The “Full Faith and Credit” clause of our constitution REQUIRES every state, and the Federal Government, to give the aforesaid full faith and credit to any civil contracts made in any other state. That has been, since the casting down of the miscegenation laws, inclusive of marriage contracts – a marriage in any one state MUST be acknowledged by ALL other states, as must a divorce, or other dissolution of that marriage.
Then along comes DOMA. And DOMA says “states that don’t want to, don’t have to accept same-sex marriage contracts from other states.”
Sorry, but any time the Constitution and a law conflict, the law ends. SCOTUS might just excise that aspect of DOMA (it’s not the only one) but at the very least, that aspect of the law is clearly, unequivocally and utterly unconstitutional.
I’ve always felt that as long as America has some kind of federal election every two years that there would be no reason for a revolt. I’m not so sure anymore.
This year’s election is shaping up to be a revolt.
I would suggest personal involvement in the voting and vote counting process. Everywhere. With cameras.
The transformative power of Hope and Change recognises no limits on it’s power over it’s subjects (the American people) and WILL continue until absolute dominion or total economic collapse FORCE it to stop.
Serfdom, 4 more years…
Was not Obama’s argument for the constitutionality of Obamacare that it was passed by a duly elected Congress. Surely he would not want to see DOMA struck down by an activist court. After all, the majorities by which it passed far exceeded those for his healthcare bill.
Folks, time to stop fiddle-farting-around and get your collective heads in the game. If you -we don’t get rid of this idiot on NOV-6, other events will likely happen which no one can foresee except to imagine a lot of folks will be in the street-and it won’t be pretty. Check “6″
The fed laws I am most concerned with Obama misusing are the ones he employs to kill Americans and non-Americans he thinks are a threat. This is going way beyond the pale of justice.
Unfortunately, Obama has lost control of himself.
The lying, cheating, vote stealing and other sorts of ObamaCorruption I can tolerate without sounding off a special alarm. Not to mention the fact he’s attacking freedom of religion with a vengeance while,at the same time, wading hip deep in blood killing of the unborn who survive abortion.
I forget which amendment is used to hospitalize a President who’s lost touch with reality, but I encourage it be used by the proper authorities forth-with. At this point, Obama wouldn’t be able to respond to a nuclear strike on America. At this point, Obama should be under constant observation by a team of the best psychiatrists available. Poor Obama is a danger to himself and all around him.
The boy President actually has no empathy for the pain he causes. Besides being a pathological liar, apparently Obama is a sociopath. I really hate to have to draw a line in the sand and say Obama’s a clear and present danger to the United States of America.But that’s exactly what he’s become.
obviously, the pressure of the office has been too great for him. He now sees and calls half of Americans traitors to his cause when all they are guilty of is is disagreeing with him. Obama is a very mentally sick individual. I hope he gets concerned, compassionate treatment.
Unfortunately, Obama has lost control of himself…
Unfortunately for us all, Rachel, Obama has never been in control of himself or his destiny. He is a construct, nothing more. It’s the eliminationist monsters who do control him who should worry us all.
The real problem is “he’s a construct” who believes he’s the genuine article… He really believes this … so fervently that, although he’s not really a “gifted speaker”, certainly not once the teleprompters fail, he’s been able to convince quite a large number of people of this. He’s special. A celeb. A Hollywood star. — In short, he “has his act together”.
The other real problem is our highly uneducated electorate. Don’t misunderstand: plenty of schooling, even advanced degrees, but that’s not education; even if successful, it is actually training, mostly to increase earning potential in some specialized direction, but … education it isn’t. Our schools have provided ever less of it, ever since Dewey. Thus sound-bites work, and short video clips, just like on American Idol. The MSM are having an easy time of presenting a star narrative they would have had difficulty convincing anybody to take seriously 50 – 60 years ago, let alone a century.
A broad education would be required, before all else, in order to be able to see through such an empty suit as O’bummer, and the MSM constructs and lies, and notice, for instance, that there are no “irish roots”, and that the rest is mostly equally bogus. These two things are the main problems. So emotions take over, and rule, and there a media construct like O’bummer has more experience against the genuine article, such as Romney. People have been conditioned to want the show, and tend to find reality boring. Too much like work! That’s what we’re really up against.
From the film “Terminator”:
That Terminator is out there. It can’t be bargained with; it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, EVER, until you are DEAD
Sometimes I feel the Progressives follow this mission, just substitute “Progressive” for “Terminator” and “Socialist” for “DEAD”.
There are multiple prongs to the fundamental transformation according to the sociology template being followed (yes I read the footnotes and then track down the citations).
This prong is changing the Kinship relations in a society. We also see that by making a commitment to the Common Good and demonstrating it daily in your interactions with other students as part of the definition of what are to be the Career Ready goals K-12 now aims for.
Then there is changing the system of economic production and consumption. We see this in all the Green Growth initiatives and Solyndra and must move away from fossil fuels. We also see it in the work I have been doing to replace economic growth and material consumption with references to personal wellbeing in the future. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/is-the-global-happiness-and-wellbeing-push-a-means-for-mental-and-emotional-burglary/
That Beyond GDP and Happy Planet Index thus ties into the 3rd prong of attack–what is nerdily called changing the noetic systems of the culture under assault. Noo is the Greek word for the mind. This represents moving away from the transmission of knowledge and rejecting the rational mind promoted by the Enlightenment. Instead emotion gets cultivated instead as the primary response. I have been writing about this element in the social and emotional emphasis of Common Core and the NEA’s push for a values curriculum they are marketing called Purple America.
The last part is also seen in UVa’s recent establishment of that $12 million Contemplative Sciences Center that will be coordinating with other schools throughout the university. The idea is that emotional beliefs are equally valid forms of perspectives vs analytical, fact based thought.
We are on a bad trajectory in so many areas. But if you have the gamebook they are all related. As is Obamacare which is linked to the physical wellbeing as a core obligation of govt to provide for all. It is a component of the social and emotional wellbeing push as well.
The really good news is we can see the full template in other countries like the UK and Australia and then recognize what is coming if we do not turn around this collectivist juggernaut.
We are witnessing the tyranny of those in power, and it’s not just here in america. When the Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that the Parliamentary elections, and the representation of the parliament were unconstitutional. I could only think how similar that ruling was to the 9th Circut of the United Statees when it put a stay of the referendum that voted against gay marriage.
Chief Justice Roberts’ opinion that ruled ObamaCare a tax, reminded me of King George II’s Tea tax; which was just as unpopular as the ObamaCare taxes will be starting in 2014-15.
The Three branches of our Federal government once had checks and balanses, but those carefully constructed lines have been wiped away. Interpertation and precedent have been replaced by secular relativism. The moral basis the constitution was built on is being corrupted by laws that go against the natural and unaienable rights of all. We are no longer a nation under God. That ended when man’s law exceded and was placed above God’s Law.
The headline on this blog post says all you need to know. They aren’t gonna quit or go home, and they’re in it to win, at your expense.
The GOP primaries are over and anti-statist conservatives made a decent showing (plus a bonus: some Dems are running for cover). All this will be reflected in the national vote in November. So far, so good.
But our side can’t stop there — this battle isn’t about any one election. The Progressives and the Left have had 100+ years to embed themselves into the fabric of government, frequently helped along by Establishment Republicans.
There will be more primaries and elections two years from now, and those also need strong anti-statist candidates. The beat never quits: eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
The best way to look at the Roberts decision is to see it as a useful reminder that the Supreme Court isn’t to be relied on. Even Roberts himself said (in effect), “Don’t rely on us to save you from your poor political choices.”
What counts is a Congress and a White House dominated by those who understand what limited government means. Bend your every political effort in that direction. And don’t let up.
…and ‘Robert’ gets right to it, does he not? They have the head start. They have the inertia. They have all the Gimmes and Non-Payers in their pockets.
But Those Same slackers and receivers are used to getting delivery.
NOW,They actually have to “go out and do sumthin’ “.
So it’s up to us to move the markers. Barry gets in for FOE MOE and we’re toasted. This, in reality, comes down to ‘how bad do you want it’??
Do you simply want to keep what you were already given, {when you were born} by Your Creator?
Thought so. The Same, right back at ya’. If you do not care, just give up and wait for the ‘Notice to Appear’. Rest assured, that is coming too…..
The forces of evil are winning! Soon the end of America’s Constitutional Republic will be complete; then there will by no one left on this Earth to even attempt to slow the evil devastation to come.
One World Order, then the genocide really begins!! Pray for BO’s defeat.
Not only do we need to pray but also do everything within our power to help defeat Obama, tell your friend, neighbors, relatives, convince them to vote against for Obama. Help the Romney campaigne, donate money, if not then volunteer your time and services. I believe this is the most important election in our life time. Channel that rhetoric and please make a concerted effort to vote Anti-Christian/Anti-American/Socialist Obama and his America hating minions and his socialist czars out of office on November 6th 2012. Tell your friends, neighbors and family we need their votes to save America and rid this country of the Blamer/Complainer/Campaigner-in-Chief!
Yes, because nothing says “Preserve our values” like voting for a super-rich guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and who made his money bankrupting companies (so long as Bain got its fees) and who has accounts in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands.
Jealous of another’s good fortune, eh? Tsk…tsk. The inconvenient truth is Romney donated his inheritance to charity. Then he worked. And worked. And succeeded. Unlike our affirmative action composite imperialist squatting in the Orchid Office.
At the very least, Romney’s not campaigning on the taxpayer’s dime, and his wife doesn’t command a 1.5 Million budget, also the taxpayer’s dime! And, he didn’t write bogus “autobiographies”, full of tall tales, lies, and distortions! Also, he didn’t get sweetheart real estate deals by dealing with a known crook, now serving time in a federal pen, a crook whom he’d represented in fleecing the taxpayer of many Millions for housing projects which were either never built, or built and maintained so poorly that thousands suffered before the projects had to be disbanded and torn down. Neither last, nor least, although Bain Capital had to “kill” jobs in some companies and some places, their actions resulted in ultimately creating many times the jobs lost. What new jobs did O’bummer create? Oh, some “Gubmint” jobs, also the taxpayers’ dime! — Well, Romneys’ PAID taxes, not cost them! We could go on, for pages! BO, the Pres for dummies, crooks, and cheats. Romney, the man who can, for real!
(BTW, heed my earlier advice: troll elsewhere. O’bummer don’t pay yy enough to troll up yer kid-stuff agin the adults on these pages! Really not!)
No it is a religion masquerading as a political part, and like all such, are unsleeping in service to their gods.
The country as split twice with violence: the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. We are now headed for a third.
The visions are so disparate that they cannot coexist, as the Left cannot coexist with any freedom from their unitary theory and practice.
Fine with me, I know them as murderous cowards who will pay for but not perform the violent deeds they desire.
I couldn’t agree more. The American mind has become numb to massive spending, systemic lying, media compliance, and the arbitrary exercise of power. Our system of government has been overthrown from within. Dumbed down and worn out, the American mind scarcely even exists anymore. While all the while evil gains strength, and inflicts its damage with a thousand cuts; relentlessly stalking. I can only despair for the future of my country.
The public at large does not understand the “Rule of Law” courtesy of union-monopoly schools, Left-wing college professors and most of the media at large. And clearly Mitt Romney is doing little to educate voters, which needs doing.
So Obama and his boy, Eric Holder, has shredded the Constitution and disregarded the Rule of Law. He decides, we go along.
It may be the end; I don’t think the country can survive four more of Obama. And if Romney continues in the model of pussy Republican it is gone. Sad for all of us, even the Left-wing who will be dictated to by Obama.
Watch for the arrest of a top banker in October…handcuffed and looking blankly down. It will be the top story in every media outlet. Guilty or not matters not to Obama it is the photo op that will put him in office one more time, then comes his dictatorship and he’ll be Sexy Prexy for Life.
Denver Bob is right. To the left it is not just poltics, it is a religion. They will never give up. They will work day in and day out to acieve their utoptian vision. they believe they are creating heaven on Earth. God may be dead, but new breed of men with Godlike powers (think Soros) are here on Earth. The era of the “men of action” is at hand. The left may encounter occasional set backs here and there, but to them that is to be expected. They know their persistance will end in their victory. They are much like the Islamic fascists, they will fight to win now matter what the price. Even if there were a full revolt and forces of good were to push them back into the bunkers, the few left would still be there.
Do you have ANY self-awareness?
Listening to the Entertainer Limbaugh seems to have softened your brain.
Someone not feeling so fresh today?
Do YOU have anything to say besides BS, gibberish, and insults?
I have heard people say Obama will make himself president for life. My question has always been “How would he enforce just such an action” Simple, we have already seen such a force in action in the George Soros funded OWS crowds. If he needs re-enforcements, all he has to is go to college campus where you will find lots of students in “Che” tee shirts willing to be an Obama police force. The only problem is that these Obama storm troopers may not stop the mayhem once he tells them to stop. Obama may then be forced to declare a “Night of The Long Knives” type crack down as Hitler did with Rohmn and the Brown SWhirts.
There’s not a ghost of a chance such a strategy would be successful. The OWS crowd as his brownshirts? Those spoiled, self-indulgent (unarmed) children? Not a chance.
I think a few things need to be explained here.
1. I don’t see too many folks taking the long view on this. I watched it happen with the Delta announcement to purchase an oil refinery and all of the naysayers who thought it was a big mistake on Delta’s part. I watched it with Microsoft’s announcement of a Windows 8 Tablet (stay tuned, this is going to be a winner in the enterprise space for the boys and girls at Redmond, same with Windows phone 8). Folks tend to confuse conventional wisdom with common sense, they do so at their own peril. These companies have amped up their chess game while everyone else is still playing checkers. The same holds with the Roberts pronouncement.
2. Justice Roberts did the correct thing by declaring this a tax and not giving the Commerce Clause any more teeth. It now puts this back into the political sphere where it will more than likely fall by the wayside. Reconciliation is a tool that only requires a simple majority and can be used with great effectiveness. Although largely symbolic, the vote scheduled by the House next week is a step in the right direction. The President and the Democrats claimed that this wasn’t a tax. By this ruling, the court has exposed it for what it really is, and for this, we should be grateful.
3. The Tea Parties had a significant impact on the Congressional elections in 2010, lest we all forget. That was in no small part due to the passage of the health care law. Had the law been declared unconstitutional by SCOTUS, I think that there would not be the re-energizing of the base to go out and defeat the President and incumbent Democrats up for reelection this year that we are starting to witness.
Opportunities come in all shapes and sizes and happen at incongruous times. Knowing when and how to take advantage of them is the real trick.
Sharp post, particularly #2. People really need to be patient as the ramifications of the Roberts decision unfold; they will very likely spell doom for the ACA (not to mention Obama’s reelection chances).
My feeling has been for some time that if Obama is re-elected he will spend his next term trying to strike down the 2 term limit- this really scares me folks
I’m not sure that fear is justified. I’m sure Obama would love to get rid of the two term limit and become President-for-Life but I’m not sure if there will be much left to destroy if he succeeds in completing a second term.
Once again it is follow the money, follow the money! All it boils down to.

“But our side can’t stop there — this battle isn’t about any one election. The Progressives and the Left have had 100+ years to embed themselves into the fabric of government, frequently helped along by Establishment Republicans.”
Indeed we have the same situation here in Canada (The Great White North). Despite a majority Conservative government, we have a civil service openly defying Parliament.
It’s a built-in function.
The people who live and breathe because they want to control your life and breath never rest, because that is their life.
Meanwhile, you have a life to live.
This country is 70% conservative. 50% hate the marxists’ guts, even though many of the 50% don’t understand the details or the extent of what is going on. 30% of the country would take up arms if there were more than a handful of leaders worth following. Yet the lemming march toward the destruction of the greatest country the world has ever know continues at pace.
The radicals know that showing up to agitate, lie and sow discontent is 90% of the battle. 1 of them equals 20 of us, because the cause is all they live for.
btw, 90% of the agitators will be dead within 5 years if they win. They will kill each other. It always happens that way.
“We can’t wait!” Stopping Obeyme is too important to entrust to ordinarily-timed elections Rather than allow the process to grind along, I call on him to *leave office now*–because goose sauce IS gander sauce.
To the poster upthread who wondered why the Defense of Marriage Act didn’t make it to the Supreme Court on certiorari ere now, the answer is simple; you have to have a case or controversy that arose under the law to take it up the litigation ladder. DOMA was originally largely prophylactic; it was enacted before same-sex marriage had really gotten its hooks into a few states—and, frankly, despite the crowds that appear to weep with joy before the cameras when a new state falls, relatively few people have bothered to avail themselves of same-sex marriage. It has taken a while to gin up a case that could be litigated.
That is because same-sex marriage is largely a creature of gay-rights lobby, not the homosexually-inclined populace, though the gay-rights lobby has been adept at stampeding both the homosexual populace and a gullible portion of the larger population into accepting its skewed vision of equality. What most of these people are unaware of is that the destruction of marriage was a founding principle of the post-Stonewall gay-rights movement—and there has never been any public discussion of how or why “marriage” went from the movement’s must-destroy to the movement’s must-have.
The gay-rights lobby has spent much energy in proclaiming the “difference” of the “gay community” (another fraud, but one to be discussed at another time). It now seeks to have it both ways—to have its “difference” celebrated while demanding a nonexistent “right” on the basis of “equality.”
Those who say that same-sex marriage is a stalking horse for an attack on traditional religion are quite right. There has been no greater foe of the First Amendment for the last forty years than the gay-rights movement, from its creation of the pseudoscientific fraud of “homophobia” to its backing of “hate speech” First Amendment restrictions and “hate crime” laws. The lobby has already attacked private businesses under equal protection claims when the businesses declined same-sex marriage business; that will only increase.
You are right, Mikey. We Americans never stop fighting for decency. we didn’t let the KKK run our nation. We didn’t let a slave based civilization exist on our soil. We are not going to let a middle east superstition about sexuality control our nation.

Neither do we !

I receive e-mail spam every day from famous people, people I hve never heard of, and people who work for Obama in the government now-all asking for support and donations. Also, I receive email practically every day from Obama himself
asking for donations and support. Lastly, I receive email at least once a week from Michelle Obama-bragging on her husband and asking for help..
I am not exaggerating. THis has been happening since before Obama became President.
