The IC answers the question; “What do we do now?”

First we pray. As always, God has the answer, God IS the answer. We should humble ourselves, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways. Sound familiar? It’s not just a good Bible verse. It is the answer. Then, after effectively seeking God’s grace and mercy in prayer, we should act.

Blogodidact explains:

… if you think that your Rights were granted to you by the law, then legislators who write the laws, can revoke or gut those rights, by passing still other laws. If the legislator’s pen is where you got your Rights from, then you in fact have no ‘rights’ at all, but only such allowances which your friendly neighborhood legislator is pleased to extend to you. Such things, which may go by the name of ‘Rights’, are in actuality, nothing of the sort, they are simply privileges.

LAS argues for a new Amendment to the Constitution:

[Justice Roberts has] become the poster child for a much needed constitutional amendment – “Article III, Section 1 shall be amended to limit judicial appointments to two consecutive seven year terms. The second term must be re-nominated by the sitting President and re-confirmed by the sitting Senate.”

This amendment is sorely needed since ‘Justice’ has obviously become a synonym for ‘just another kind of politician.’

BECAUSE THEY “THINK” THAT SENDING MONEY TO GOVERNMENTS AND BUREAUCRACIES TO FINANCE POLICIES OR PRODUCE GOODS AND SERVICES DESIGNED BY CAREER POLITICIANS AND LOBBYISTS AND IMPLEMENTED BY BUREAUCRATS AND PEU’S CAN BE MORE EFFICIENT THAN IF THESE ARE FINANCED, DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.

These guys are ‘shouting” mad.

There was a day when people were shocked when they listened to the Nixon tapes, not because the tapes showed wrongdoing, but because the profanity used by Nixon and his cronies profaned the Oval Office and dishonored the country.

The White House is becoming one big trailer park.

I think that is possibly and insult to trailer-parks!

Steve finds it a bit ironic that conservatives are pinning their hopes on a guy who signed into law a similar scheme not too long ago in Massachusetts.

MNR highlights the Peter Morrison newsletter, a commentary on an alternate way of dealing with illegal immigration, one which we used to employ here in the US.

In a tense stand-off that nearly resulted in tragedy, President Obama while speaking at a NALEO (National Association of Latino Elected Leaders) luncheon had the secret service confiscate all forks and knives before the President would speak to the association.
“This is standard operating procedure” said a Secret Service agent at the luncheon.

You can’t make this stuff up!

More than a few conservatives are trying to put a positive spin on The Supreme Courts decisionto uphold the Affordable Care Act. For those that find solace inseeing some positives in this decision, may God bless them.

I don’t buy the spin either.

The significance of the Healthcare Bill decision has taken a new and much more somber twist than what is being discussed in the media. The real importance and fundamental change that the decision brings us is that it transforms the checks and balances of our constitution and it robes the sole power of congress to impose taxes on the American people. Now, it is the Supreme Court who can also impose taxation.

Here’s a sign of how very wrong the Obama Administration is about the ‘moderate’ Muslim Brotherhood.

Today, Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi addressed crowds in Tahrir Square in Cairo. And along with the usual rhetoric about ‘maintaining the Islamic revolution’, President Morsi made an interesting promise to the crowds in the square and watching him on television:

“I see signs for Omar Abdel Rahman and detainees pictures, he said, referring to placards held by the crowd. It is my duty and I will make all efforts to have them free, including Omar Abdel Rahman.”

Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, AKA The Blind Sheik is a vicious terrorist connected to Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya who is now serving a life sentence for his involvement the first World trade center bombing in 1993 and in a plot to assassinate former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak.

He was also the man who entered into a criminal conspiracy with his attorney, American traitor Lynne Stewart to carry messages back and forth between the Sheik and the Muslim Brotherhood while he was imprisoned.

President Morsi, by the way,is also a 9/11 truther, a fairly common thing in the Muslim world.

He never delivered on the Obamamaniac’s desires for him topay for their mortgage and gas, but Barack Obama can give you a free phone. (Question:Since when does a government program have a .net address?) Predictably, if you’re already sucking on the government teat, you automatically qualify for a phone.

Nancy Pelosi was asked about her opinion on the Supreme Court’s decision that the individual mandate constituted a tax after the Obama regime had been arguingthat is wasn’t a tax. Nancy Pelosi basically said “who cares what it is called as long as it was upheld.”

In the past, speaking out against unions was rendered, through assiduous propaganda efforts, rhetorically proximate to speaking out against decency and goodness itself. If you said a cross word about public unions, you were taking a stand againstnoble teachers and brave, handsome firemen.

That’s what’s called “The Narrative.”

… its clear Americans can no longer rely on the Supreme Court as the last line of defense to protect our Constitutional rights. All Americans — Republicans, Independents and Democrats — who believe in the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States must form a 21st Century revolution. Our Founders fought the original American Revolution against oppression from across the sea. It is now our turn to fight a new American Revolution against oppression from within our own borders — our own government. This is the fight that must be waged against those usurping our inalienable rights.

 

From 1763-1775, the rallying cry in the colonies was: No Taxation without Representation! In 2012, our rallying cry should now be: No Taxation by Misrepresentation! Not only did PPACA (Obamacare) pass Congress without any mention of the word tax, its defenders have emphatically denied that the laws mandates represent taxation.

As we move farther away from the urgent liberty concerns of the Revolutionary War and even the second World War, as we care less and less about how secure our freedoms are, as we care less and less about the warnings our Founding Fathers left for us, and we begin to care more about our high standard of living and our comfort, we see the consequences of that transition….. envy, irresponsibility, crime, and corruption.

The latest imbecility from those ‘progressive’ horse’s behinds at Barack Obama’s so-called Justice Department: Should a restaurant be required to allow horses in the dining room? Incredulously, a recent Justice Department ruling now says yes!

The last forlorn hope for liberty proves vain. But hey, on the bright side, at least the business community can now stop saying they’re not investing, expanding, and hiring because of “uncertainty.” It’s now absolutely, undeniably certain: we’re a socialist nation, and we’re going to stay that way.

 

The strongest, smartest, richest, and top class dominate every society in the world through time, and although the United States had a good run of a couple hundred years where all men were equal before the law, that time is now over. The majority of the Supreme Court upheld the law passed by a majority of the Congress that was pushed for by our elected President, all without believing or caring whether or not their actions were allowable under our Constitution or acceptable by long-time customs or something that our Founding Fathers would have agreed with.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article entitled, “Why Does Tonya Dixon-Neely Have a Job?“ This is the teacher who berated her student who mentioned that President Obama admitted bullying someone when he went to school. The teacher wouldn’t have any such discussion.

This unbelievably stupid woman who told her students they can be arrested for speaking ill of the President is allowed to continue her career as a teacher.

This creature demonstrates why epithets and invectives remain popular.

Obama’s State Department granted a visa to a member of a State Department designated terrorist group, who once on US soil (taxpayer funded trip of course), was given access to top officials.

More propaganda being promoted in “our” public schools:

President Obama spoke at a campaign rally at Oyster River High School in Durham, New Hampshire: In this election, on every single challenge that we face, youve got the final say, Obama told the students You can decide that instead of restricting access to birth control or defunding Planned Parenthood, we should make sure that in this country, women control their own health care choices. Thats up to you, the president said to applause.

Larry gives his take on the ruling.

… government, at all levels, is set up to make it difficult for outsiders.

The Robert’s ruling on Obamacare did not overturn two centuries of fiscal restraint; it continued a long history of fiscal tyranny by finding powers in the Constitution that aren’t there.

Facing a barrage of criticism from Constitutional experts, Roberts was on the defensive today, keeping himself in the spotlight and in good graces on the Beltway cocktail circuit.

Chief Justice John Roberts joked today that he’ll escape to an ‘impregnable island fortress’ after opponents slammed him as a traitor for casting the decisive vote to uphold Barack Obamas healthcare law.

Despite voting to hold Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. in contempt of Congress, there’s little House Republicans can do in the short term to compel him to turn over documents unless it wanted to revisit a long-dormant power and arrest him. The thought is shocking, and conjures up a Hollywood-ready standoff scene between House police and the FBI agents who protect the attorney general. Its a dramatic and unlikely possibility not least because Congress doesnt even have a jail any longer. But in theory it could happen. Republicans say its not even under consideration …

The roiling question is, did Chief Justice Roberts flip and join Liberals on the highest court in the land later, rather than sooner?

Did the conservative justices intentionally leave typos about who was dissenting and who was not as a way of signaling to the outside world that Chief Justice Roberts abandoned them at the last moment?

The gay lobby has a right to air its view but seemingly nobody else has, certainly if they express any disquiet at all over homosexual marriage. A lot of Christians have because they consider it to be morally wrong, a caricature of genuine marriage as conceived for generations past. The opponents include Dr John Sentamu, the black Archbishop of York. The colour of his skin is relevant because when he dared express his disapproval recently he received a number of racially abusive emails.

It happened in an American city: Hundreds of angry Muslim children and adults rioted against Christians, throwing chunks of concrete and eggs at their heads, spraying them with urine and cursing at them while police stood by and threatened – while police stood by and threatened the Christian victims with “disorderly conduct.”

Does anyone else feel like they have taken crazy pills?

Barry’s on a roll, destroying America one Executive Order at a time.

While we were wringing our hands over the Obamacare SCOTUS fiasco, he went and reinstated a 27-year offshore drilling moratorium, effectively putting the entire continental shelf off-limits to new oil and gas exploration until 2035.

Michael Newton cites Alexander Hamilton on the logical limits of taxation power.

Todays message from John Roberts, whether intentional or not, is clear and it might be fortunate for lovers of liberty in this nation. That message is this Congress can legislate this tax and if you dont like it, then vote accordingly. Ironically, the power of Roberts punt is where conservatives have wanted it for a long while, not in the Court, but in the hands of the people.
