It’s the Constitution, Stupid!

We’re having the wrong argument about spending.  Of course, we can’t afford the trillions being blown in useless and outright destructive government programs.  But, that line of reasoning suggests that when they economy is smokin hot, we really should be paying for self esteem classes for child molesters.

Most government spending is manifestly unconstitutional.  Our Founders, in their wisdom, delegated just a few powers to the federal government–essentially, those functions that nobody else could do. 

Defending the country, for example, is a legitimate function of the government.  Naturally, defense is the only spending liberals are ever willing to cut.

Pity Poor Barry

Pity poor Barry.  A few weeks ago, the Commander in Chief of the world’s greatest military was asked about the toughest part of his job.  He said it was the loss of privacy.  Not a word about sending our troops into battle.  His biggest problem in life is not being free to wander the streets anonymously.

The Daily Mail finally clarifies why Obama spends so much of his time on the golf course.

I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can’t take a walk.

Deal or No Deal

America awaits an eleventh hour deal to keep the bloated and incompetent government running with only the normal ineptness.  Apparently, Republicans suddenly recalled exactly why it was the people threw so many democrats out of office and rediscovered their spines.

Relax, America.  If they shut the government down, you won’t notice.  Social security checks will still come on time and the CIA will still be on the job, albeit hamstrung by Obama’s anti America policies.

What dems fear most is that the public will figure out how many government employees we can do without.  Having no  EPA for a few days is a blessing.

Hopey, Changey Egypt

So, how is that hopey, changey thing working out in Egypt?  Obama couldn’t shove Mubarak out the door fast enough, liberals and too many conservatives who really should have known better were all agog over the preposterous delusion that getting rid of one of our precious few allies in the Middle East would lead to some kind of glorious freedom for the Egyptian people.

Instead, Egyptians are worse off than ever before.  There is no work, there is no money.

And the new leadership has announced its intention to strengthen ties with–Iran.

Obama Affirms Another Bush Policy

Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama announced via the dumbest attorney general since Janet Reno that KSM and his terrorist comrades will be tried in military tribunals.  The announcement coincided with Obama’s official declaration of his candidacy.

The never astute AG, Eric Holder, had desparately wanted to please Obama’s boss, George Soros,by trying KSM and his fellow True Believers in Manhattan.  Nobody in New York other than the  liberal trustonians thought this was a sane idea.

The simpering Holder blamed it all on congress.  America thanks you, 112th.

Battered Women and Koran Burners

Any woman who has successfully escaped from an abusive partner knows a thing or two about koran burning.

She remembers all to clearly how it was always her fault when her husband beat the daylights out of her.  She shouldn’t have made him so mad!  She knows how he gets, she really ought to watch herself.

Believing this kind of insanity is part of the syndrome.

Lindsay Graham doesn’t want Americans exercising their 1st Amendment rights it if it’s going to make Muslims mad enough to commit violence.  Even Sean Hannity is falling for the Blame the Victim mind manipulation.

Ooops, He Did it Again

Where does he find the time with all of the golf, parties, vacations in Rio and basketball watching, how does our ever so industrious president manage to take a few moments out of his busy day to push another Middle Eastern leader out of office?

Obama shoved Hosni Mubarak out, never mind that Mubarak, for all of his flaws, was a staunch ally of both Israel and the United States and had held Islamic forces at bay for four decades.

Screwy Louie Got $8M From Gaddafi

This explains a lot.  In case anyone was wondering why Louis Farrakhan was so vehement in his defense of Gaddafi–well, beyond the fact that Louie is insane–perhaps this is the reason.

Farrakhan portrayed Gadhafi as a fellow revolutionary and longtime friend to the Nation of Islam, which used $3 million it borrowed from Libya in the 1970s to acquire its opulent headquarters on Chicago’s South Side. Years later, a $5 million loan was used to pay back taxes and costs for the home of the movement’s former leader Elijah Muhammad.

Obama’s Doctrine

The mainstream media is desperately flopping around the deck as their guy flounders.   They spend an unseemly amount of time trying to translate for us.  If Obama is such a brilliant communicator, why does it require so much effort by liberal commentators to tell us what Obama really means?

Now they’re all casting about for something they can call the “Obama Doctrine”.  Let’s see, Libya is a “humanitarian effort”.  No, wait, Gaddafi gotta go.  Oh, no, no, that’s not what he meant.  A month or so later, Gaddafi is still around.  That doesn’t look quite right.

Obama’s Emetic Action

Great news for the Mad Dog of the Mid East–Obama took time out last night to reassure Gaddafi that the United States remains firm in it’s commitment not to put troops on the ground where they actually could pound the life out of him and his store bought troops.  With plenty of cash and gold on hand, Gaddafi can hire enough mercenaries to keep the war going for a very long time.

As Gadaffi’s troops were pushing back the rebel forces from every direction on the ground, the president was crowing about his swift and decisive action, declaring he took control of the situation a month ago.

Obama’s Boss Wages Kinetic Action Against Fox News

Hoping to kill the messenger, the Soros funded Media Matters mob is gearing up for all out “guerrilla war and sabotage” against Rupert Murdoch and Fox News.

The group, launched as a more traditional media critic, has all but abandoned its monitoring of newspapers and other television networks and is narrowing its focus to Fox and a handful of conservative websites, which its leaders view as political organizations and the ‘nerve center’ of the conservative movement.

Fomenting phony lawsuits, boycotts and exploiting disgruntled employees makes more sense to liberals than actually competing in the marketplace of ideas.

Mission Muddled

Those of us on the left coast are often late in catching up on breaking news.  Thus, I may have missed the mission du jour in Libya this morning.

As of bedtime last night, it was to install democracy.  It seems like only yesterday the mission was strictly humanitarian.  Oh wait.  It was yesterday.

The Daily Mail has nicknamed Obama the Great Vacillator.  Personally, I don’t think he’s all that great.

We surely can’t expect the Commander in Chief to worry about defining the mission in Libya.  He’s gone out of his way to make it clear that the United States is not remotely interested in assuming any leadership when it comes to this mission.

Obama’s Boss: Drill, Baby Drill, in Brazil

 Obama is telling Brazil to drill baby, drill so we can someday import their oil.  Oh sure, there was a horrific earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident, and we are, apparently, in another war–but first things first. 

The boss wants Brazilian oil to flow.  George Soros  is heavily invested in Petrobras, the state owned Brazilian oil company.

Brazil has benefited from our offshore drilling permatorium, and if Brazilian oil does well, Obama’s boss is pleased.

Putin and Michael Moore: Speaking With One Voice

Vlad the Impaler Putin has joined such liberal luminaries as Michael Moore in condemning military strikes against the Libyan Terrorist in Chief.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday a U.N. resolution authorizing military action in Libya resembled ‘mediaeval calls for crusades’ after Western forces launched a second wave of air strikes.

Putin’s comments express the long standing unity among liberals and communists.

Commander Clueless Strikes Libya

The Commander in Chief has again changed the way the world sees America.  About a month after the Libyan people begged the United States to intervene to stop Gaddafi’s mass civilian slaughter, Obama was finally shamed into taking action by FRANCE.

But, of course, not until he got permission from the U.N.

As is his way,  the CIC sent troops into harm’s way without a clearly defined mission.

As near as anyone can guess, the mission was something along the lines of “protecting the Libyan people.”  Taking  out Gaddafi’s air defense systems took our magnficient military about fifteen minutes.  Led by FRANCE.

Timeline of Obama’s Oblivion

Ollie North presents a comprehensive timeline of Obama’s monumental efforts to escape reality.

Wednesday, March 9: The 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit at Camp Lejeune, N.C., is alerted to deploy with all possible haste for the Mediterranean Sea and be prepared for military and humanitarian contingency operations off the coast of Libya. That night, President Barack Obama hosted a “TV party” at the White House to watch a basketball game: the Chicago Bulls vs. the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bulls won.

I’ll Have What He’s Having

It hardly seems necessary to catalog all of the current events that are fraying the nerves of the most sturdy among us.  Unless, of course, you’re talking to the president, who is eerily unaffected by it all.

The rate of joblessness and foreclosures in this country are enough to keep anyone up at night.  That’s assuming you can remain entirely impervious to the massive disaster in Japan and the fact that the Middle East is in a state of dangerous upheaval.

Public Trough Running Dry

Weaning spoiled public “servants” off of tax payer funded largesse is going to be as tough as getting Charlie Sheen off of coke and hookers.  Again brandishing their new “civility”, the thugocrats are staging a collective tantrum in response to Governor Scott Walker’s refusal to cave to the demands of Democrat fleebaggers.

The state legislature passed a collective bargaining measure by severing it from the budget bill, thus, bypassing the truant fleebaggers. 

This after three weaks of trying to cajole the Democrats into getting back to work on the actual budget bill instead of hiding like little girls.

Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboy Poets

This is what Democrats mean when they wail about Draconian budget cuts being proposed by Republicans.  Their leader, Harry Reid defined the debate perfectly when he simpered about the potential loss of taxpayer funding for a cowboy poetry festival.

Perhaps a cowboy poetry festival is a worthy addition to the community.  That’s the wrong focus.   The issue with any government funded program isn’t whether someone benefits from it.  We have to ask whether the Constitution allows it.

Republicans have done a lousy job of defining the issue.  Rather than point out that there is no Constitutional basis for most government programs, they get sucked into arguments about the merits of government programs.

Candidate Obama Keeps Club Gitmo Open

2012 presidential hopeful, Barack H. Obama will not be shutting down club Gitmo after campaigning in 2008 on promises to close down the much maligned resort.

The news came as a huge relief to the pack of misunderstood do-gooders currently being held at the “prison” who were balky at the idea of being transferred to a real prison stateside.
