And this is supposed to create new jobs… HOW?!?!?

Read about the insane proposed new taxes here.

And in his speech Obama invoked the words “fair share” to justify the increased taxes on those who make more than a million dollars every year.

Y’know, I’m a far cry from being among the most wealthy people in the country. I’m just a guy whose trying to hack it as best he can. I take a few odd jobs here and there, do some writing and videography. I don’t have a “regular job” like most people would consider it (though there is an occuptation which keeps me employed almost 24 hours a day). Believe me when I say this: that I would like nothing more than to be making more money. Not just for myself but to provide for a family when the Lord, if He’s willing, lets me have that....

When the hell do the people of this country once again get representatives who know what “un-constitutional” means enough to not come up with bullsh-t like this?

The Huffington Post was the first place where I found the “Super Congress” referenced. So in case (like me until late last night) you didn’t know what the politicians in Washington are now up to: there is a proposal to create a 12-member body comprised of six members from both the House and the Senate… and composed of six members from both major political parties. This “Super Congress” would be capable of over-riding the normal legislative process, all in the name of fixing the United States’ monstrous debt problem.

Click here and here to read what others have been arguing about how anti-Constitution and insane this scheme is.

But here is what disturbs me most about this proposal…

THE “SUPER CONGRESS” WOULD ...

…as there are plenty of indications that he is set to do, then Obama will have accomplished something that I never thought I would ever see.

He will have eclipsed George W. Bush as THE WORST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES in my lifetime.

Libya is a civil war. And it’s never paid to be an outside party that chooses to become embroiled in one of those.

Considering that the U.S. is already locked in two OTHER wars – neither one of which has had any clear goal in mind – and is stretched thin as it is, would make getting involved in Libya even more insane.

Gas up now, folks. We could see five, six, or seven dollars a gallon gasoline by the end of the weekend. The way things are going now, I wouldn’t doubt it....

But it shouldn’t have been passed by the House and Senate to begin with!

Y’know, I am getting mighty fed up with the sorry lot of politicians in Washington… in both major parties mind ya… who have NO respect whatsoever for the Constitution.

Obama’s “health care reform” was always unconstitutional. It was the most brazen violation of the commerce clause in perhaps all of United States history. Of course it was going to be struck down by somebody in the judiciary sooner or later.

That this was lost on too many members of the House and Senate, who persisted in advocating and then voting for Obamacare in spite of all sane understanding of constitutional law…

Grrrrrr…

Anyone else doubt that the political system of this country is hopelessly and irredeemably broken? I mean, if people like this are the only ones that we can expect to vote for… ...

Does anyone else think that this was crass at best and beyond pale at worst?

To the left you will see a few of the 20,000-some “Together We Thrive” t-shirts that were given away free as “souvenirs” – and that’s being more charitable than it deserves to be called – at last night’s memorial service for victims of this past week’s massacre in Tuscon.

I didn’t watch it on television but a number of people whose reports I have long come to trust have shared a common sentiment: that last night’s event was a meandering mess of narcissistic narcolepsy… with President Barack Obama as the focal point.

(What’s the story about this Native American medicine man that I’m hearing so much bad about?)

Free t-shirts for attending a memorial service supposedly held in honor of those who died in an act of violence. I defy anyone to articulate how this ...

Read the story here.

I don’t know what faith President Barack Obama professes to belong to. And in all honesty… it’s not really my business to be concerned with it anyway. He could be Christian. He could be Muslim. He could be Hindu. He could be a follower of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for all I care. As has been said before on this blog and I’ll state it again: I believe that every person has the right to seek God as best he or she can understand Him, so long as it’s understood that this right ends where the right of others to have the same begins. Barack Obama certainly enjoys that right as well.

I merely expect Obama to be President and uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, as he swore an oath to do. More than a year and a half into ...

What the hell does President Obama think he is doing?

Obama’s administration is suing Arizona for that state’s recently passed anti-illegal immigration law. Obama’s rationale is that Arizona is overstepping its limits as to what a state can and cannot do. The official line coming out of the White House is that Arizona’s getting tough on illegals is something that only the federal government should be handling.

Like hell it is. The people and government of Arizona would not have had reason to take up the initiative on their own had Barack Obama, George W. Bush before him, and too damned many other politicians actually taken seriously their own pledges and oaths of office to defend the integrity of the United States.

So in effect, Obama is trying to punish Arizona for doing the job that Obama and others have failed to accomplish.

When the federal government has that...

I’m thinkin’ that everyone now has a perfectly valid and legal reason to tell President Barack Obama to take his crummy “health care reform” and shove it up his ass.

(Oh yeah, that’s right: not even Obama and his cronies want Obamacare. They’re exempt from it.)

But within the legislation – which the House just re-approved a short while ago – are provisions for conscientious objection to Obamacare because of religion. The legal language seems tailor-made for the Amish (who use the communal resources of their churches to provide for medical care) and for Muslims, for whom insurance is religious taboo.

Since I’m neither Muslim, or a member of any Christian denomination (I still prefer to call myself a follower of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ), I guess that means that I’m screwed, right? Well, who is anyone in this steaming pile of bullshit (that’s the very first ...
