Umm....You Using the Whole Fist Back There, Doc?

The famous line from Fletch as Chevy Chase's character undergoes a proctological exam might as well be the motto for our foreign policy under President Obama. Bend your friends over, jam it up their ass, and whisper sweet nothings in your enemies' ears. I've detailed before the Obama policy of preemptive surrender, especially when it comes to spooning with Russia's de facto dictator Vladimir Putin. Now, more evidence, and outrageous at that, has emerged. Documents released by Wikileaks detail how as part of the START treaty, President Obama sold the British down the river, promising to give away their nuclear secrets to Russia.
This country cannot survive President Ohimanidiot. This President has either no conception of foreign policy as a tool to benefit this country or he is intentionally alienating our partners and embracing the people who want to destroy or marginalize us. If this man is reelected, it will be a travesty. Captain Obama and the destructocrats ride again.

Mr. President, You Are Not Above the Law

Judge Martin Feldman of the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana issued a contempt ruling against the United States Department of the Interior Wednesday. Judge Feldman is the Federal Judge that rejected what I've so fondly referred to as the moronatorium which the White House based on the manipulated (actually, outright faked) opinions of experts who did not approve the measure. Of course, the Administration, which firmly believes it is above the law, simply reissued the moronatorium despite the fact that the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal had refused to lift Judge Feldman's stay of the moronatorium (perhaps I should call it the Obamoronatorium).
Judge Feldman wrote "Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the reimposition of a second blanket and substantially identical moratorium and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this Court with clear and convincing evidence of the government's contempt of this Court's preliminary injunction order."
It's about time someone told this Administration that it is not above the law. I have opined before that the actions taken by this Administration rise to the level of impeachable offenses which should lead to the removal of this President. This is the most blatant example so far. I would encourage everyone to write a thank you note to Judge Feldman.

OK, So a Hooker and a Pimp Walk into an Organization Supported By Liberals...

That title may actually be a sound premise for a joke, given that the morons the joke is played on are either so ideologically devoted that they've disregarded recent history or they're just stupid enough to be easily fooled. But I digress. I'm sure you will remember the hooker and pimp with the under aged foreign sex slaves that proved to be so welcome to ACORN. Apparently old tricks are the best tricks. The same ruse was used to get members of Planned Parenthood to acquiesce, without any encouragement, to providing information to the pimp to help out the 14 and 15 year old imported sex slaves get abortions (I'd like to note I chose a post that is critical of the video because I believe if you watch it, you'll come to the same conclusion as I did and wonder why someone is defending them). Thank goodness, Planned Parenthood stands up for the rights of women to health care and subjugation to the sex trade.
Ask yourself, where is the National Organization of Women on this and the ACORN issue? Where is the outcry from liberal groups? The only conclusion that makes sense is that their holy cows contradict and take precedence over a concern such as a 14 year old imported sex slave. It's Occcam's Razor. I'll happily admit I'm wrong if I see evidence to the contrary.

Deep Water Moorizon

In the tradition of those who believe there is no extent to the absurdity of bureaucracy, the EPA is seeking to regulate spilled milk. I really wish this was a joke. The EPA apparently wants farmers to have emergency management plans and train first responders to deal with spilled milk because it contains oil. Based on this same logic, the EPA should be regulating acne outbreaks in teenagers. Every day I become more convinced that the people we call insane are the only ones who are right, and the rest of the world is off its rocker.
On the positive side, a government protest of people running out and milking cows in the middle of the night, allowing it to spill onto the ground, would be pretty amusing.

Reason for Concern

Something not noted in the earlier decision finding Obamacare to be unconstitutional, it has been reported (and I haven't seen written reports on this or the published opinion, so I'm running with something I normally wouldn't address) that Judge Vinson ruled against the states' argument that the mandatory expansion of state funded medicare programs was unconstitutional. This means that unfunded mandates from the federal government to the states are alive and well, which is one of the ways federal government passes off and hides costs, by making the states pay for programs. This is a disturbing practice at best in that there is no support in the Constitution for the proposition that the federal government can mandate a program and then tell the states that they are required to fund that program. If the Senate were still a body representing the states, I imagine this practice would not have gone as far as it has.

It is Time We Have a Discussion About the Morality of Taxation and Spending

I would like to have anyone reading this blog to pass this post around and invited comment and I will later give my own analysis (assuming I get more than one comment). The propositions I set forth for discussion are these : 1) it is immoral for the government to do what an individual can not, i.e., take money from you without express consent and give it to another, 2) it is the obligation of a wealthy society to give to those who cannot manage for themselves for reasons outside their control and taxation is the way to ensure that, 3) government funding includes such things as funding of planned parenthood and, through that organization, indirectly, abortion, and it is wrong to force a person to pay for a procedure they believe to be a sin by their religion, 4) taxpayer dollars are necessary to provide access to a right which only the wealthy have access to without it, which is control of their own bodies in terms of aborting an unwanted pregnancy, 5) if taxation were reduced local charity would increase due to the additional disposable income, 6) taxation is necessary because there is no social welfare network to ensure the safety of those who are downtrodden without the state and 7) government can operate without an income tax, and is, in fact a better government without it due to the limitations of expenditures or 8) government needs an income tax to operate and perform the functions set out for it by our Constitution.
The caveat on this post is that I know what the few people who comment on this blog think and I've no need to explain my position to them. The challenge is that I ask those readers to ask friends and associates to read this and comment. If I can't get more than ten opinions on the above subjects (and yes, I want people who dissent from my view), then there is little point in me going through this exercise.

Those Darn Activist Judges With Their Consittiution and All

The Obama Administration is reacting to the ruling of Judge Vinson that the whole of the act by calling it judicial activism. Let's be clear, when the Court rules that the government has gone to far, that is not activism. This is why you never see a group of protesters chanting "What do we want? Nothing. When do we want it? Never." An activist judge is one who uses the Court to set social policy. Kind of like the two Obama Supreme Court appointments (frauds) (search Elena Kagan and Sotomeyor for additional information).
On a disturbing note, some commentators have suggested that Justice (it makes me want to vomit to give her that title) Elena Kagan may recuse herself from any vote on the health care law as the former Solicitor General. This would make for an 8 person Supreme Court, including that "wise Latina" idiot Justice Sotomeyor which could easily come to what is essentially a non-decision, a 4-4 split on the Court, which would uphold the underlying Court of Appeals decision. The legislative branch (and forgive Senator Chuck Shumer (D. NY) for not knowing the three branches of government) is the best way to dissolve the idiocy known as Obamacare.
