Supreme Court Disasters

Supreme Court Disasters

"When any branch of government can exercise powers not authorized by either statutes or the Constitution, "we the people" are no longer free citizens but subjects, and our "public servants" are really our public masters. And America is no longer America."

Whether you support gay marriage or not, Obamacare or not, the Supreme Court is not staying within its constitutional powers, and Dr. Thomas Sowell explains it fairly clearly.  If you value the constitution and the  United States of America, you should not be praising these decisions. 

US Constitution

Confounded Confederacy

Confederate Flags Removed in Alabama

The governor of Alabama, Robert Bentley, ordered Confederate flags removed from a Confederate Memorial, but the memorial remains.  I guess those flags are offensive, but the memorial isn't?

Where will this lunacy end?

Words Have No Meaning

Supreme Court Uphold Obamacare Again

Scalia added, “Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by a State is ‘established by the State.’ It is hard to come up with a clearer way to limit tax credits to state Exchanges than to use the words ‘established by the State.’ And it is hard to come up with a reason to include the words ‘by the State’ other than the purpose of limiting credits to state Exchanges.”

I did the math and 85% of people who signed up for Obamacare are getting an average of $272 per month subsidy to pay for their health insurance.  If 85% of people buying it cannot afford Obamacare without federal subsidies, what does that tell you about the promise of affordability?

If after 10 years there are still an estimated 30 million people without health insurance, what does that tell you about accessibility?

Stay on the Porch, Part 2

From Free Speech Movement to This....

I previously wrote about the things you cannot say in the blog entry from May 1 below.  The University of California system has now doubled down on the list by adding more things you cannot say or do, called 'microaggressions'.  Where will it end?

Grace Under Pressure

I continue to be amazed at the grace with which families and community member in Charleston deal with the grief, anger and pain of the deaths of nine of their family members.  The ability to forgive the perpetrator for his deeds displays God's grace very openly, and obviously with heavy but hopeful hearts.  I only pray that I could be so graceful under pressure.

The community of Charleston has displayed so much love, comfort and grace in supporting the surviving family and congregation suffering so much.

This is the lasting image we should take with us over the next days, weeks, months and years, when deal with such travesties.  This is also the lasting image our politicians should take with them as they deal with all the issues of the day going forward.  I can only hope they recognize the victory of love and grace over racism and hatred.

Liberals Want to Know

Following the mass shooting in Charleston, liberals have taken to the microphones demanding more gun control, and asking how we stop the hating.  How do we stop the hating?

Let's look at liberal arguments over the years:

1. If you don't like Obamacare, you hate grandma.  Remember images of a Paul Ryan lookalike pushing granny over the cliff in her wheel chair?
2. If you don't support abortion on demand, you hate women. 
3. If you want lower taxes, you hate the poor.
4. If you support the police, you hate the people in poor neighborhoods.
5. If you support religious freedom, you hate gays.
6. If you support free enterprise, you hate the middle class.
7. If you do not support the EPA, you hate the environment.
8. If you do not support Common Core, you hate children.

So, in other words, liberals claim conservatives hate everyone.   But if you repeat the theme often enough in various forms, anyone who disagrees with your point of view is a hater.  How do you deal with haters?

Hate is at the heart of most evils.  Mass murder, genocide through the ages, and terrorism, are all based on hatred of some group.  So hatred begets violence.  Is it any wonder why we have violence since we explain everything in terms of hatred?  Can't we just have an honest political debate without labeling the opposition as haters?

Who Could Have Made This Up, Part 2?

5 Devastating Facts about Obamacare

If anyone tells you that Obamacare is working, don't believe them.  This column explains just 5 failures of this law and the way it was executed.

Who Could Have Made This Up?

Cover Oregon Cover Up

Who would ever have thought that in The US of A someone could spend $300 Million on a web site that doesn't work?  Meanwhile back in DC, Obamacare supporters spent nearly $1 Billion building their colossal web failure.

Is anybody accountable for that epic failure?  President Obama and Secretary Sebelius are two I'd start with.
