Weekend Reading (Good Blogs!)

Blogodidact | Have you thought about what ‘What you mean’, means?

If you don’t start your thought process from principles, you are extremely likely to violate them. If you don’t begin a political discussion with fundamental law and Rights fixed firmly in mind, then what you are going to propose, is very likely going to violate them both. Egregiously so.

Isn’t that a problem? Shouldn’t that be a concern? Or do you not consider the fundamentals of our system of  law (you know, that pesky ‘Constitution’ thingy) to be important, because all you want to do is regulate things? Or do you not give due consideration to Rights, because you don’t care about, or believe in, Rights?

Liberty At Stake | Aye, yii, yii, yiiii, I am the Barry Bandito.

Memo to Undocumented Democrats: what this year’s Empty Suit can giveth, next year’s Empty Suit can taketh away.

Catholibertarian | Another First for Obama: Religious Freedom Sections Removed from State Departments Human Rights Report

Why would the Obama administration do this? Well, they are attacking our religious freedom with the HHS mandate and have done other things to attack the Catholic Church and traditional Christianity so… this administration obviously doesn’t think too much of people’s right to religious freedom here in the USA so why would they care?

Adrienne’s Corner | I thought my capacity to be shocked had about reached it’s limits…

It was bad enough when Obama had a reception for homosexuals in the White House.  Really?  The White House hosts a reception for people who identify themselves by the manner in which they have sex?  When do the rest of us get a reception?

America’s Chronicle | Why Is Nancy Pelosi Leader of Anybody?

Nancy Pelosi said that Republican efforts to hold Eric Holder in contempt for withholding information on the Fast And Furious failed gun running scheme with the Mexican Drug Cartels have really nothing to do with that but it is all a shameful attempt to suppress the vote of minorities like little green bulgy-eyed men with antennas and magic fingers, some of whom have manage to get elected to the US Congress and become majority and minority leaders.

Boston 1775 | Visiting William Carpenter at the Worcester Art Museum

Ralph Earls portrait of William Carpenter, an English lad about twelve years old in 1779. Its not the most graceful painting, but it conveys a lot of personality.

Conservative Hideout 2.0 | World Enemy No. 1: Maurice Strong?

There is a lot of competition for that title. Some names that jump to mind are Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ban Ki-moon and, it’s certain you could add others  to the list. But, probably none have had more global impact of Maurice Strong. A self-proclaimed life long socialist, he is often refered to as the father of international environmentalism and the father of the global warming scare and the father of the UN’s Agenda 21 and its goal of “sustainable living”.

Western Free Press | Obama: The Biggest Spender In World History

Not so long ago, commentator Rex Nutting threw the president a gift: He did an analysis of federal spending that magically didn’t include Obama’s first year, in order to show that Obama is not the big spender he is accused of being. Obama immediately picked up the claim and waved it in all our faces, like Neville Chamberlain standing on an airfield proclaiming peace for our time. Of course, Obama’s claim was no more valid than the promises held aloft in Chamberlain’s document.

Be Sure You’re RIGHT, Then Go Ahead | Worst President Ever? Its Indescribably True

Chronicling the misdeeds, abuses of power, ruinous policies, and everyday stupidities of this, the most left-wing and consequently the most destructive administration in the 236 year history of the Republic, is a chore that would challenge the descriptive powers of old Will Shakespeare or Charlie Dickens, let alone us laptop wielding conservatives with microchips on our shoulders.

Cold Fury | Off with his head!

A Conservative Teacher | Number of Limousines Drops 34% Under Obama? Or is it Up 73%?

President Barack Obama is the kind of politician that the world has seen many times over- someone who rises to power by hiding who he really is and pretending to care about inequality in wealth, only to reveal himself as the true radical that he is once he gets political power and live the lifestyle of the superwealthy and reward those who helped him to live a life of luxury by squandering taxpayers money on golf, junkets, kick-backs, shady loans, parties with celebrities, trips to foreign nations, fancy foods, personal chefs, and limousines.

Old Virginia Blog | Yes, It Could Happen Here

The National Health Service is Britain’s socialized medicine scheme. At issue this week is something called the “Liverpool Care Pathway” or LCP, which was developed in hospices in the 1990s. The purpose of the LCP is to comfort the terminally ill who have no chance of making a recovery. In the mid-2000s the NHS adopted the LCP as a recommended practice nationwide for patients who were not expected to survive.At present, 29 percent of all patients who die in Britain have been placed on the Liverpool Care Pathway by their doctors. Presumably, all of these patients are terminally ill, but as Dr. Pullicino explains, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy . . .

Political Realities | Richard Griffin Former Union Lawyer Appointed To The NLRB

If there was ever a question about President Obama’s ties to organized labor, let them rest in peace. If you have followed the first three years of the Obama administration, you know how he has catered to the labor unions. It is plain to see. However, nothing is so blatant as his appointment of Richard Griffin to the NLRB. Talk about stacking the deck. Obama did a number with this one appointment. Never let it be said this President hasn’t tried to pay back some of his largest campaign donors, in spades. He loves him some labor and he lets it show. Just who is Richard Griffin? According to Fox News, he was once the general counsel, read top lawyer, for the 400,000-member union of heavy equipment operators, IUOE. It is of more than passing interest that this union is known for its ties to the mob. Public documents obtained by Fox News show that more than 60 IUOE members have been arrested, indicted or jailed in the last decade on charges that include labor racketeering, extortion,criminal enterprise, bodily harmand workplace sabotage.

The Bitter Americans | Look Deeper

The Tea Party isn’t there to support Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, or any other party for that matter.  They are fighting for candidates who understand and honor the Constitution of the United States and as Zell Miller said, are “unashamed of his belief God is not indifferent to America.”

Godfather Politics | Compassion for Jack Osbournes Multiple Sclerosis but Derision for Ann Romneys

Doug Ross @ Journal | Remember when they confiscated forks and knives at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner?

You don’t? That’s because they didn’t.

Ana the Imp | How Many Camels is Obama Worth?

Al-Shabaab, the Somali offshoot of al-Qaeda, has offered a bounty of ten camels to whoever reveals the hideout of that idiot Obama.  Its their response to the US State Department’s recent announcement of a reward of several million dollars for information on the whereabouts of the movements leadership.

Ana wonders if, perhaps, the Somalis are being a little too generous in their assessment of the beleaguered Presidents worth.  Ten camels seems excessive for a man who recently said that the American private sector was doing fine, an assessment, she hazards, not quite in keeping with the experience of most people struggling with the economic realities of Obama World.

SENTRY JOURNAL | Paid Protesters Heckle Romney?

It’s more likely than you think. According to at least some of the anti-Romney protesters out there, the phrase rent-a-mob is a bit more spot on than the President’s campaign is willing to admit. Buzzfeed has more…

DeWitt, Mich. The protesters popping up at Mitt Romney’s rallies throughout Michigan Tuesday look like run-of-the-mill grassroots liberals they wave signs about “the 99 percent,” they chant about the Republican’s greed, and they describe themselves as a loosely organized coalition of “concerned citizens.”

They’re also getting paid, two of the protesters and an Obama campaign official told BuzzFeed.
