God of the Left

The left see judges as Solomon-like in their wisdom and more importantly, their rightful scope. Obama is a disease, but he is also a symptom. He is a willing, malicious part of the problem BECAUSE he has been educated in the halls of the left.
Of course he knows about Marbury v Madison, and he agrees that a key role of the court is judicial review of laws for Constitutionality. The problem is that he and his fellow-travellers actually see the courts as a source for progressive remedies of conservative intransigence. They believe that the courts have a duty to act as the wise king, settling the disputes of Congress the shepherd and a President the farmer.

The left has assembled a God whose existence needs neither … Continue reading →

NBC, ABC, and CNN are now walking back their made-up claims of racism when pressed on their shoddy “evidence”.  NBC doctored audio–no clue how that happened.  ABC doctored video–no clue how that happened.  CNN reported their own assumptions as facts–no clue how that happened.  No clue how all of these false items pointed in the same direction.

Nobody disputes that Zimmerman shot Martin.  Yet, facts stubbornly refuse to fit the narrative of the professional race-hustlers.  Now elderly white men are being beaten by mobs who scream “This is for Trayvon”!  Too bad then that the President couldn’t keep his filthy waffle hatch shut.

[pullquote]You are expected to hold a bias that an order is lawful[/pullquote]We have a duty to not carry out, and in some cases, to resist the implementation of unlawful orders. But in assessing an order as unlawful, you take on yourself the responsibility to defend your actions before the law. That is, if you feel strongly enough that an order is unlawful, then it … Continue reading →

Romney Stumbles

Seems The One (Okay, The Other One) is having some trouble.  Let me tell you why:

[pullquote]”I have already implemented your program, and ten years down the road, I can tell you now–it simply does not work.”[/pullquote]Mitt Romney had a golden opportunity to seize the nomination and skewer the president.  In my opinion, all he needed to do was cast off his illegitimate offspring, RomneyCare.  He should have said that he used the laboratory of democracy called Massachusetts, with its rich history of political innovation, to see once and for all if a large role for government can improve critical services in health care.  He would have been in a unique position to assail the president on ObamaCare.  ”I have already implemented your program, and ten years down … Continue reading →
