“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Republic. Not a Democracy.

"Forward"

The official slogan for Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.  "Forward"?  No more "Hope and Change"?
Pretty lame, really.  As one columnist put it: "Was “Reply-All” taken?" 
UPDATE: Below the fold, some wonderful pokes at the lameness of this, from The Ace Of Spades blog.

Crucifier in the Obama Administration thrown under the bus

A senior EPA administrator publicly admits that the EPA is out to crucify industries and businesses. He has resigned, but as one member of the House says: 
"The Obama Administration’s desire to punish job creators goes all the way to the top, and that’s the real issue. Excessive and overly burdensome regulations are hurting our economy and actually killing jobs. If President Obama’s regulators were listening, they’d know that Americans want a healthy economy where hard work is rewarded and everyone has the opportunity to play by reasonable rules and succeed."
Obama must go this year.

UPDATE:  Another blogger adds his two bits, "Obama Throws EPA Moron Under Bus, Bashes Republicans, Panders to Unions".

Constitutionally Ignorant

Secretary of Health Sebelius isn't paying attention to the Constitution, especially when it comes to religious freedom. Indeed, she's quite ignorant of it. In my opinion, deliberately so.  Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) does a superb job in demonstrating this:
“So when a state said, ‘You have to send your children to school until a certain age,’ and a religious group objected because they did not want to send their children to school until that certain age, do you know who won?” he asked. “It went to the Supreme Court. ”

The 1970s case, Wisconsin v. Yoder, is considered a landmark in U.S. jurisprudence. Sebelius said she did not know its outcome. “The religious group won,” Gowdy informed her.

 Read the whole thing for an understanding on how the Obama Administration views the Constitution: as an obstacle.

I'm happy to report: "No, it's not."

"It’s definitely NOT your Grandma’s Tea Party anymore! Introducing the NEW face of Conservatism… and new PolitiChick, Sonnie Johnson."

Thanks, Jeremy!

Obama Campaigning Falsely


Killing Bin Laden: Like so many others, the final decision to pull the trigger on the world's most-wanted man was delegated to an admiral who undoubtedly would have been thrown under the bus had the mission failed.

It's been almost a year since President Obama's leadership and foreign policy bona fides were allegedly established by the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. A campaign film narrated by Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks tells of the president's alleged solitary, agonizing decision.

With apologies to Vice President Biden, maybe President Obama doesn't carry quite as big a stick as Joe would lead us to believe.
Read the whole thing.  And pass on to your friends.  Obama must go.

Going for broke!

That's Obama's motto, as the Reaganite Republican demonstrates.  A sample:

Indiana is a slave state....

....or so claims the International Union of Operating Engineers:
In a lawsuit against three Indiana government officials, a labor union alleged on Wednesday that its constitutional rights under the Thirteenth Amendment — which outlawed “slavery” and “involuntary servitude” — are violated whenever its members are forced to work alongside nonunion employees.

The International Union of Operating Engineers, whose members work as heavy equipment operators, mechanics and construction surveyors, sued Indiana’s governor, attorney general, and labor commissioner in February, alleging that the state’s “right to work” law is unconstitutional.
The law suit originally invoked the Fourteenth Amendment, but the Thirteenth was added just recently.  

And here's a great response to this law suit:
Mackinac Center for Public Policy senior legal analyst Patrick Wright said on Friday that the union’s legal argument “expands the definition of chutzpah.”

“Compulsory membership and coerced dues and fees are the hallmarks of the union movement, yet they claim that giving workers more choice is an act of enslavement.”
Bravo, Mr. Wright, bravo!
