The Supremes? Maybe Not So Much.
May 4, 2009 Political
Here it comes, the biggest shift in policy the U.S. has known in many a year, as the first of possibly three Supreme Court Justices retires.
The first is David Souter, a supposedly centrist jurist that slipped by Bush 41, and immediately veered left, in the highest court in the land. This leftist shift caught Bush by surprise, and began a tilt to liberal causes until Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Roberts, and Justice Sam Alito were appointed as conservatives to the bench.
In seeking Souter’s replacement, Barama said, ” I will seek someone who understands that justice isn’t about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a case book. It is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people’s lives.” This is a truly ignorant statement from someone who claims to be a Constitutional lawyer. The job of a Supreme Court Judge is to interpret the Constitution and how it applies to the cases at hand, not to spoon feed a decision to a person contrary to case law, out of symapthy. Sympathy prejudices cases, not clarifies them. A person might be sympathetic to the case, but if the law doesn’t support that case, you are not allowed to bend the law, or make exceptions- that negates the whole reason for a Supreme Court.
This is the true beginning of just how radically this person wants to change your society and the principles we have had as our core values. Barama truly doesn’t understand, or if he does, he just wants to impose his views on us. That is a facet of totalitarianism, imposing one’s will on the rest of society, and it sucks like a wind tunnel. To impose his will on us is very Taliban of him- perhaps we should begin calling him Mullah Hussein.If he appoints a liberal activist to the court, it will be the first of possibly three as Justice Ginsburg doesn’t have a lot of time left, and Justice Kennedy will probably be sweet- talked into stepping down.
What I am afraid of is the distinct possibility that whoever Mullah Hussein picks will be an advocate for “Transnationalism”, a term that, when translated correctly, means that we are no longer independent or sovereign in our country’s legal decisions- we could be overridden by a court of foreigners, who do not believe in our Constitution, or our independence, and be forced to obey the U.N.- I could not envision a poorer scenario for our country. We would be legalistically raped by every third- world dictatorship with a chip on its shoulder.
This is how the end begins- by choosing someone for a job requiring logical thought, but insisting that “empathy” be the primary focus in the job description.
Empathy is what needs to be left out of these decisions, in order that they favor noone, but dispense justice even- handedly. This is supposed to be the very definition of justice- equitable, and true, favoring no one.
The big Mullah- Mullah wants something different, and in most times, he would have his dictatorial tendencies quashed by Congress, who would provide a brake on the Executive power, but with Nancy Pelosi’s ADD, and Harry Reid’s natural insanity,there is noone who can be the voice of reason, unless the rest of the Democrats stop blindly following their leaders like whipped dogs, and actually act like real lawmakers. There doesn’t seem to be much chance of that, even though they are losing, or on the verge of losing any power the Legislative branch once had.
Both Republicrats and Demicans have a chance here- a fork in the road, and it begins with the replacement of David Souter in the Supreme Court. On the one road, there is an activist in the court, one that might try to twist the law to fit an agenda- on the other road, is a judge who interprets the Constitution the way it is supposed to be interpreted, strictly and honestly, with the only agenda being the continued Constitutional Health our country needs to maintain a balance to usurping theories like “transnationalism”. Whoever thought that one up was truly high or insane, or both.
I’ll put it as plainly as I can to all the politicians on both sides- here it is in a nutshell-If transnationalists get on our court, two things will happen for sure. One, our legal landscape will no longer be easily navigated, as we will have totake into account the laws of other countries, and, Two, you will have lost the independence that the Legislative branch is supposed to have, separated from the Executive branch- remember the civics lessons in High School? No?
Well then, there’s our problem. We apparently have been electing the village idiots. Let us at least not appoint one to the Supreme Court.

Happy Birthday America
Jul 4, 2008 General
This great nation proclaimed its independence in 1776 and fought the British to gain just that. We became a nation in 1781 with the Articles of Confederation. Our new nation recognized that the form of government needed fine tuning and a Constitutional Convention was called for in 1787. Our Constitution went in effect March 4th 1789 and the Bill of Rights was ratified December 15th 1791.
It took from 1776 to 1791 to establish our government and ratify its governing documents. It took 15 years to get it right but that was time well spent. The United States has accomplished more in its short history than any other nation on this planet including those that have been around for thousands of years.
Keep this in mind when people complain about how long it is taking Iraq to form its government. Remember that it took us a long time to get established and we should not expect any other nation to move at any faster pace than our own country did. For what its worth, our government still moves at an extremely slow pace and we are not fighting a war on our soil.
I thank God for allowing me to be born in the USA thus giving me the gift of freedom.
I thank the US Military for keeping that gift from God safe.
God bless America. Happy birthday USA.

UPDATE: This is from and article in the International Herald Tribune about the troops and the holiday:
For others, the day was a reminder of their duty to their country.
At Camp Victory outside Baghdad, 1,215 troops from the Army, Marines and other services re-enlisted in a mass swearing-in ceremony led by General David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq. At least two husband and wife couples were among those signing up for another military stint.
Before an immense American flag hung in the rotunda of the palace headquarters of the U.S. military in Iraq, the troops saluted Petraeus, then sang “God Bless America.”
What a great military we have. At least these folks believe in their mission. Too bad Obamabi was not there to see this.

Thirty-two Years of Lies About Energy
Jul 2, 2008 Opinion
I have discussed before how politicians (from both parties) have been saying for decades that we need energy independence. Before environmental moonbattery became vogue many of our politicians said we needed to drill for our own oil and after the wackos came to power that changed to use our own natural gas instead.
Starting with Jimmy Carter and his vow that we would not use one drop more of foreign oil then we were at that time (when oil was under $30 a barrel) and ending with $140 oil today we have not drilled for our own and we have not become energy independent. We use more foreign oil while we sit on top of untold reserves that would truly make us energy independent. They always say it will take time but time has passed us by and they still have not accomplished a thing. Here is the link to a video that has a montage of clips from Carter to Bush and everyone in between. The video features them all telling the same lie over and over. Keep that in mind when you hear the candidates tell you about energy independence.
Our country should be embarrassed that the French have more nuclear power than we do.
