100% of Journalists Named Cynthia Tucker Are Race-Baiting Nitwits

Appearing on PMSNBC's "Chrissy Matthews Show," Atlanta-Journal Constitution "journalist" Cynthia Tucker accused the protests over nationalized healthcare to be the fruit of racist reaction to a black President. Here is the exchange between Democrat cheerleader Matthews and race-mongering airhead Tucker:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Put 100 of these people in a room. Strap them into gurneys. Inject them with sodium pentathol. How many of them would say "I don't like the idea of having a black president"? What percentage?

CYNTHIA TUCKER: Oh, I'm just guessing. This is just off the cuff. I think 45 to 65% of the people who appear at these groups are people who will never be comfortable with the idea of a black president.

There you have it. If a white guy was threatening to fine people who don't buy health insurance, force older Americans in front of a death planning committee to advise them of their options, ration care, limit choices, and diminish the quality of the world's best health care system these ignorant crackers and misguided Uncle Tom's would be shouting "hallelujah, guvmint, please take over my life!"

Cynthia Tucker is a lightweight airhead, so her comments are ultimately pointless. However, this line of attack is being used by Democrats and Big Media across the country. This is further proof of the cynical way in which Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialist-Democrats manipulate the issue of race and truly do not have the interests of Blacks, or any other group of Real Americans, in mind. They put socialist ideology ahead of individual liberty. Fomenting racial divisions where none exist demonstrates they will say and do anything for power. Considering it was a Black man who was beaten down by SEIU thugs outside a town hall in St. Louis and a Black man who challenged Maryland Senator Ben Carden over fining citizens for not carrying insurance.



This is ultimately about freedom and liberty. The same jackals who have cried "keep your hands off my uterus" when it comes to abortion now want to turn every American's body over to the government at all stages of life. The government will pay for your abortion. They will pay for Chaz/Chastity Bono's addadichtomy. Criminal illegal aliens will have get free health care from the U.S. taxpayer, but those same taxpayers will be considered criminals if they pursue care outside of a government mandated program.

The word "racist" now has about as much sting as "doodoo head." The word once had power when segregation and discrimination were a part of daily life. Now, its just a cheap insult used to score political points or a trump card to cover a losing argument. I don't care if the President is a Lynyrd Skynyrd-listening, baseball-loving, truck-driving, white guy who lends me his lawn mower and his condo at Hilton Head. If he supports socialized medicine, I will oppose him.

Texas Physicians Oppose Socialized Medicine; Texas Democrat Says Town Hall is His

The Houston Chronicle reports that doctors jammed a town hall forum in The Woodlands expressing their opposition to President Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama's nationalized health care schemes. The doctors make the practical argument that the health care plans already run by government are mismanaged and do not provide the best possible care. Multiple idiocy by stupidity and you have expensive and deadly chaos. The physicians focused on the financial management end of the boondoggle which is certainly appropriate and should be a wake-up call to those who believe government control is a panacea.

Of course, there is the bigger problem which is the erosion of individual liberty and insertion of government control over people's lives. The arrogance that causes members of Congress to believe they have the authority to dominate the people in such a fundamental way much be challenged if we are too continue as a free country. This elitism came through in the comments of Texas Congressman Gene Green:

U.S. Rep. Gene Green, a Democrat who represents a blue-collar area from Baytown to Denver Harbor east of Houston, has held four meetings on the health care plan and received mixed reviews.

“There seems to be an organized Republican effort to have people come to a Democrat's town meeting and dominate the discussions,” Green said. “Some have admitted they don't live in my area. This has never happened to me before."

My understanding has always been that a congressman is sent to the House to
represent the constituents of his district, NOT his political party. Gene Green
inadvertently exposed the ugly truth. He represents the Democrat party only.

Gene Green and the rest of the Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialist-Democrat party needs to understand that holding a majority does not mean the government or the country belongs to them. Town hall meetings are an opportunity for ALL citizens to express their pleasure or displeasure with the state of things. It is ironic that Green is angry that people from outside his district are attending his town meetings. He doesn't believe he should have to listen to them, yet he wants to impose government-controlled health care on those people. They should just take it and shut up.

The public reaction to socialized medicine has brought out the REAL modern Democrat party. They are a collection of angry Leftists who seek to impose a socialist regime on America. If Real American opposes their fascist tendencies, they are instructed to punch back even harder by Herr Obama. They plan to intimidate and obfuscate. Don't let the vile Left scare you. Real America needs to stand up and be counted in this fight for freedom.

Black Patriot Beaten By Union Thugs--Is This What Obama Was Calling For?

President Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama urged Leftists to "punch back twice as hard" when their fellow citizens dispute the legitimacy of nationalized health care. It seems the Socialist thugs are taking Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Comrade Obama to heart. Last night in St. Louis, a Real American who happened to be Black was beaten outside a town hall by SEIU punks.




Will Obama go on the air and accuse the SEIU of acting "stupidly?" Will Je$$e Jackson and Al Sharptongue descend on St. Louis and lead marches against union thuggery for this attack on a Black man exercising free speech? Will the breathless talking heads in Big Media decry the violence of this man being physically attacked for his political views? The answers are no, no and no.

The Heritage Foundation chronicles other abuses of Real Americans since Obama ordered his goons to crack down on dissent. It is apparent ObamAlinsky and his Brown Shirts will resort to any tactic to enact a takeover of American health care and much of the economy. They are using the White House and Big Media to castigate Real Americans for standing up for limited government and individual freedom. You see, we mere subjects of the elite ruling class are not to question their wisdom and authority. We are not to challenge their power.

Those of us who don't suffer from recto-cranial inversion saw this train coming for a year. "Change" was an amorphous word that meant nothing and everything. The White House is clear that they "interpret" their election victory as being an open mandate to do whatever the hell they feel like. There is no constitutional constraint. There is no tolerance for dissent. They ran on "change" and you will get "change" good and hard.

Mr. Obama, the violent acts occurring outside these meetings are on your hands. It is you who is personally attacking American citizens for daring to oppose your unconstitutional desires to take over the health care of Americans. You are the one who has called out goon squads to "get in the faces" of those who dissent.

For those dewey-eyed, unicorn riders who thought a "community organizer" was someone like the person who operates the food pantry at your Baptist church this is a lesson in reality. The world's most famous living community organizer is nothing more than a Chicago street punk who can now organize his thumb breakers from the Oval Office. He even has a Big Media industry that will twist the truth in order to support his agenda. Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx would be proud of their protege'.

Senator John Cornyn Calls On Herr Obama To Stop Intimidation Tactics

Texas Senator John Cornyn has sent a letter to President Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama calling on him to cease his intimidation tactics against political opponents. Cornyn's letter is a response to the President of the United Socialist States of Amerika asking all loyal Brown Shirts to send any "fishy" opposition to his nationalized health care scheme to flag@whitehouse.gov. At best, Obama is reprising the worst of Richard Nixon and his well-known enemies list. At worst, we are witnessing an administration that plans to use fear and intimidation in the manner of a typical communist or fascist dictator.

Senator Cornyn is correct to challenge ObamAlinsky. The world's most famous living community organizer threatens those who organize in opposition to his fascist desires. As Obama called on his minions to turn in the dissenters he wrote a letter to his Democrat sycophants calling on them to "get in people's faces" to challenge folks on nationalized health care.

The fact that Obama feels he can openly attack the American people is frightening. Add in Big Media which is doing its best to hawk his message while savaging citizens who dare challenge the idea that government should control everything and we have the biggest threat to individual liberty since the 1790s. We can handle any foreign threat. However, the combination of ignorant people who do not value liberty and opportunistic Leftists who seek to apply their agenda through force is a call to Real Americans who value freedom and liberty. Our inalienable rights have never been more threatened.

By the way, the picture above is from a t-shirt and bumper sticker you can purchase at the Mike Church Show website. Get 'em while they are hot! These would look great at a town hall meeting or other rally.

Herr Obama's Brownshirt Hotline: flag@whitehouse.gov

Are you kidding me? The President of the United States is so upset that Real America does not aspire to be Cuba or Canada that he has set up a web site to report those who dare dissent. You see, the hope and change of Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama's Amerika is that this once proud country of Patriots has fully descended into a Balkanized collection of grievance groups demanding a piece of someone else's pie. From the looks of the polls and the outpouring of anger from Real America it seems ObamAlinsky and the rest of his Leftist thugs have misunderestimated the American people.

Some Americans are stupid enough to believe that a free lunch can be had while liberty is maintained. Of course, much of the ObamaNation doesn't give a whit about liberty and probably couldn't define it on their best day. Despite the inanity of the "yes we can" crowd who had no idea what they were saying "yes" to, it seems Real America doesn't want to turn its life over to the government. They understand that this is truly a life and death issue.

SWAC Girl writes about a letter sent to flag@whitehouse.gov. Everyone should take full advantage of der Fuhrer's demand to root out the dissenters. Send your own favorite article or link in which an ObamaBot lies about the health care plan. Heck, send him copies of his own inconsistent statements (some might call them lies) in regard to a government "option." Maybe he can discipline the Obama look-a-like who championed single payer and a desire to eliminate private health insurance.

Remember, when the Left and Big Media lost their marbles over the Patriot Act and were horrified that George W. Bush would use the cause of anti-terrorism to discover Aunt Sadie's chicken and dumplings recipe? Of course, there was no mass round-up of Leftist dissenters. Bush patiently answered the snippy and dishonest questions of Big Media and they did not fear retribution. Now, we have a President who attacks journalists, commentators and networks for not jumping on board the O-Train.

As funny as flag@whitehouse.gov may seem on the surface as a desperate measure by a clownish phony, this is a scary proposition. Public debate is now something to be reported to the government. Those who disagree with ObamaCare and its draconian measures are to be turned in to the proper authorities. We have always assumed that the American Left is not as extreme as the socialist/communist movements that have wreaked havoc on the planet over the last century in the Soviet Union, Germany, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, etc. It may be time we take a more serious look at the motives and actions of the so-called Progressives. Dissent may now be dangerous.

Rick Boucher Needs To Face All of Virginia's 9th District

August is one hot month for congressmen who are finding out their subjects actually believe they are citizens. Confrontations around the country show that the sheeple may finally be standing up on two legs. Big Media and the political Left are angry and lashing out. It seems the people are supposed to shut up and be ruled.

In southwest Virginia's 9th congressional district, Democrat congressman Rick Boucher likes to fly under the radar. Avoid controversy and regularly remind folks of all the pork he brings home to the district. Boucher is holding two town halls on health care:

Tuesday, August 18, 2009
9:00 AM Edwards Hall
New River Valley Community College
Dublin, Virginia

Thursday, August 20, 2009
9:00 AM Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center
Abingdon, Virginia

Of course, this seems like Boucher is making himself available to the people. However, there are a couple problems. First, both town halls are at 9:00am when most folks are working. Maybe Boucher is depending on the unemployed and the government-dependent to be his choir for the day. Over the course of a month, don't you think a Saturday morning or weekday evening town hall could be arranged? The answer is, of course, "yes" if Boucher actually wanted to hear what the constituents have to say.

Another problem is location. The 9th district is over 8,800 square miles--larger than the state of New Jersey. The district includes nineteen counties and parts of three others along with four small independent cities. With a full month recess and the key issue being a government takeover of one-fifth of the American economy and the the health care of every citizen, it would seem Mr. Boucher would make himself more accessible to the people of this large district. The eastern side of his district is ignored.

Citizens of the 9th District need to demand that Rick Boucher takes his job seriously and makes himself available to folks of southwest Virginia. Call or visit Congressman Boucher's regional offices at:

188 East Main Street
Abingdon, Virginia 24210
276-628-1145

106 North Washington
Pulaski, Virginia 24301
540-980-4310

1 Cloverleaf Square,Suite C-1
Big Stone Gap, Virginia 24219

Town Halls Turn Ugly For Members of Congress; Get Ready For the Recess Rally!

This should put Big Media into a tizzy. On August 22, Patriots across the country will rally outside the district offices of every member of Congress. The Recess Rally is another chance for Real America to stand up to the imperial federal government and say "NO!" Big Media hates Real America and you can bet they will run every possible negative story about the opposition to nationalized health care.

Various members of Congress have already gotten smacked around by their constituents in their own townhall meetings. Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett referred to angry protesters as a "mob." This arrogant clown seems to believe that no one should object to the federal government usurping power from individuals. The Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialist-Democrats employ their own version of Newspeak. Despite the protests, Doggett said, "I am more committed than ever to win approval of legislation to offer more individual choice to access affordable health care." Choice? This bill accomplishes the opposite of "individual choice." It is designed to take away all choice and turn them over to the government. Look, I don't know if Doggett is a liar or an idiot or both, but he and his gang of thieves in the House are looking to subjugate the American people.

Other Congressmen who have heard the will of the people include Russ Carnahan, Keith Ellison, Claire McCaskill, Kathleen Sebelius and Arlen Specter. The videos of these outbursts of patriotic citizenship should steel us all in our resolve to fight to maintain a free health care industry.

Big Media is apoplectic that Real America actually has the temerity to challenge their status as subjects of the United Socialist States of America. They are shocked at the tone and animosity. Get used to it! The U.S. Constitution is a very simple and clear document. This nation was built by hard-working individuals who wanted nothing from the government except protection from foreign invasion. Across America, over 80% of people are happy with their own healthcare and their own insurance. But, they are being told that they must sacrifice their personal security so that the government can control everyone's life.

The government should fear the people, not the other way around. The government works for us, not the other way around. They have limited powers, not limitless powers. When these jackholes exceed their charge and attempt to enslave the incomes and well-being of the citizens, they should fear the outcome. None of these people have a right to their seat in Congress. If they continue to ignore the Constitution and rule at their personal whim, it is the DUTY of the people to throw their sorry carcasses out on the street. Right now, Real America is striking back on issues like cap-and-tax, nationalized health care and judges who believe they are independent of the Constitution. Soon, the next big fight will begin to take shape: the November 2010 mid-term elections. Be afraid Congress, be very afraid.

Sotomayor, Judicial Activism and the Cult of Stare Decisis

Stare decisis is an imposing term. It sounds like it carries great authority. Literally, it means "to stand by that which is decided." Now, if we applied it to the U.S. Constitution and the duly passed amendments to that document, stare decisis would be an instrument of maintaining order in a democratic republic. However, the term as used by Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialist-Democrats, has come to mean "a previous group of arrogant oligarchs ignored the Constitution and ruled according to their Leftist philosophy, therefore any attempt to correct that wrong is "judicial activism."

Today, during a radio newscast about John McCain's decision to vote against Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court, a pro-Sotomayor senator was quoted who disputed the accusations that she is a judicial activist. No, Sotomayor is NOT an activist. The senator assured us that Sotomayor is a big believer in state decisis. Well, I feel sooooo much better! Of course, the Senator did not claim the justice-in-waiting would be a champion of the Constitution.

Judicial activism is a meaningless term without context. At one time, this term was applied to those who sought to create their own law without the Constitution's approval. Think the majority in the laughable Roe v Wade decision. They made up a constitutional right to kill a baby.

Many Conservatives still use the term "judicial activism" as a general statement of what is wrong with the federal courts. The problem is that they are several decades too late. The Supreme Court has been activist in an anti-Constitution sense for so long they have taken over the meaning of the term. Now, judicial activism is used to describe those who want to RETURN to the Constitution. Yes, in the Bizarro world that is the mind of the modern Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialist-Democrat preserving the U.S. Constitution is judicial activism.

In the year of our Lord 2009, it is time Conservatives embrace judicial activism and make it a goal for future federal judges. The math is simple: in terms of legal importance, stare decisis is less valid than the U.S. Constitution. The language needs to be clear. Any nominee to the federal courts should be asked to define judicial activism. That does not require them to discuss issues that might be heard in a case. It does require a would-be federal judge to publicly state whether they put the decisions of previous courts ahead of the U.S. Constitution.

I tend to agree with the senator who said Sotomayor will be faithful to stare decisis. However, during her hearings, Sonia Sotomayor stated that the Constitution should come first. Stare decisis and the Constitution are often polar opposites. She will be confirmed. However, it will be interesting to see if she will be honest when she takes an oath to uphold the Constitution or if her liberal ideology will be her judicial beacon.

Cash For Clunkers Should Be The Symbol of Statist Economics

Big Media has been giddy for several days over the popularity of Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama's "Cash for Clunkers" boondoggle. In fact, it has been such a "success" that it blew through $1 billion like Amy Winehouse through a hotel liquor cabinet. It doesn't exactly take the ghost of Billy Mays to convince folks to take a fistful of free money and run with it. Of course, ecstatic with ""success" and void of responsibility, Congress wants to plunk down another $2 billion to buy junk cars. Now, that these jackholes are comfortable discussing spending you and your children's wealth in terms of trillions, $2 billion is couch change.

Let's break down the program for what it is: Congress is stealing your future earnings, but offering you the golden opportunity to cash in an old gas guzzler for $4,500 toward a new car that likely costs $25,000-$35,000. One of the mitigating factors in the current recession is the insane debt that Americans have bought. Now, in order to "boost the economy," the government is offering folks a little up-front cash to drive themselves FURTHER into debt. Yeah, that's a winning plan.

The Kremlin on the Potomac believes that only they can stimulate the economy. Well, in a sense they are right at this point. They could cut taxes on all Americans, especially the ones specifically targeted at the job creating segments of our society. But, that might give folks the idea they can solve their own problems. This way we can keep the country in crisis, but feel sure that our imperial federal government is working on a new solution.

In a matter of a couple days, Congress is wanting to triple the spending on a program they didn't understand in the first place. Something as straightforward as giving a $4,500 voucher for a junk car has created mayhem and a tripling of the budget. Now, do you really want to put these buffoons in charge of your health care? It is often said that any government program's announced cost can be at least tripled. In the case of Medicare, I don't think there is a word to describe how far off the numbers were except "arrrrggghhhhh!!!"

Cash for Clunkers is the quintessential Beltway boondoggle. Sell a program as a "gift" to the American people (paid for out of their own pockets, of course, and adding to their personal debt). Create mounds of paperwork and bureaucratic confusion. Underestimate the cost of the program. Then demand even more money be spent on the program because it is vital to the nation's interests.

The great Ronaldus Maximus was correct about the Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Democrat-Statist's philosophy: "If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. "

Will Cancer Survival Rate Be A Casualty of ObamaCare?

For all of the horrible claims the Left makes about American health care, most people around the world would choose to be treated in the United States if possible. That is especially true is they have cancer. The United States leads the world in positive outcomes after a cancer diagnosis. As this is the leading cause of death in America, it would seem that we would want to preserve these desirable victories. Today's Wall Street Journal features an editorial by New York writer Myrna Ulfik in which she discusses her long fight with cancer and the opportunities she has had to be treated and survive.

Innovations in treatments and pharmaceuticals are expensive. The would-be czars of American health care do not seem concerned with this. They are interested in everyone having mediocre and limited care, rather than the overwhelming majority receiving excellent care. Ulfik cites self-appointed health care guru Tom Daschle (who would be the Secretary of Health and Human Services if he paid his taxes):

Tom Daschle, Mr. Obama’s original pick to head Health and Human Services, argues in his book “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis,” that we should accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments.” Mr. Daschle blames the “use and overuse of new technologies and treatments” for runaway health-care costs. He suggests a Federal Health Board modeled after the British “NICE” board to make decisions on health-care rationing.

But the British system is infamous for denying state-of-the-art drugs to cancer patients. Thus cancer-survival rates in Britain are far below those in America, just as they are in Canada.

Like a true Statist, Daschle believes that the government should control and manage your life. This ghoul believes we should dial back the clock thirty years to the good old days when cancer was a sure death sentence. Just accept your fate. Why, just think how many abortions we could pay for with the money wasted to save your life?

It is cruelly ironic to me that the same political movement that has turned a "right to privacy" into an unwritten constitutional amendment and who wail about the government keeping their hands off a woman's body when it comes to a supposed right to kill babies now advocate turning the very lives of all Americans over to a government review board. The obvious contradiction would be hilarious if it weren't so deadly.

Health care rationing kills and does so in the most cruel way. A person is diagnosed with an illness that requires radical and expensive treatment. A pencil-necked geek representing the Kremlin on the Potomac tells the person that the federal treatment matrix shows they fall outside the qualifications for treatment. They are too old. The odds for survival are too low to risk the money. All the allocated money for the procedure in a given year has been spent. "Go see one of our End-of-Life Counselors to plan your final demise. By the way, if you want to be a real patriot you will swallow this arsenic capsule and we can cancel your other medications immediately."

Look at your family and friends. Do you want them to have the best health care in the world available to them? Do you want them to live in a country that continues to lead the world in health care innovation? Or are you so caught up in "hope" and "change" that you want them to just take one for Team Obama?

Salon's Joan Walsh: Liberal Racism's Exhibit A

Joan Walsh, editrix of Leftist rag Salon, is feeling her oats as she brands Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and every other breathing Conservative as racists. This all stems from Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama's CHOICE to insert himself into the situation brought about by the misunderstanding between police and radical Leftist professor Henry Gates. Limbaugh, Beck and others have questioned Obama's motives and they are right to do so. It was an unplanned moment and the community organizer in him came out. Obama is no different than Al Sharpton and Je$$e Jackson at heart. Everything is seen through a prism of race. Unlike the Justice Brothers, Obama has learned to soft-medal his racial focus for political gain. In fact, he portrays himself as just the opposite--a "post-racial" healer.

The facts say something different. Obama's personal history is not one of interracial brotherhood. Start with his twenty year membership in Reverend Jeremiah Wright's Trinity Church. The Reverend is a vicious racist and anti-Semite. Obama sat in the pews. He referred to the man as spiritual advisor to him and his family. This is a church that openly aligns itself with the bigoted loon Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Obama didn't notice that? Defend him all you want, but Obama gave a dozen explanations for his relationship with Reverend Wright during the course of last year's campaign. The answers seemed to change daily for a while. It is hard to know the actual truth, but with so many contradictory versions it was obvious BHO was lying. There is no way he didn't know he was part of a racist church.

Obama's first book, Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, provides the author's pre-occupation with race in the title. The book returns again and again to themes of race with Obama repeatedly blanketing Whites with accusations of various wrongdoing. This book sounded the ramblings of an angry Black man, not a man trying to shape a post-racial world.

Of course, Obama's obsession with race is also linked to being a Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialist-Democrat. These people reject the existence of the individual. There are only group identities. Obama never ceases playing one group of Americans off against another on the basis of some demographic characteristic. He is filled with the double-whammy of racial angst (though his life experience is not that of the civil rights movement) and Leftist identity politics which requires that all life is a fight between competing demographic groups.

Joan Walsh is a great example of the hateful Leftist who projects her own vile worldview on others. If you didn't click onto her editorial attack on Conservatives, click here. This maven of Marxism seems to be shooting for the record of liberal cliches and phony assertions.

A few lonely Republican leaders are belatedly trying to clean up the party's mess of crazy, from the racially tinged character attacks on Sonia Sotomayor...

Can Ms. Walsh cite one mainstream Conservative who attacked Sotomayor on her ethnic heritage? She cannot. However, Sotomayor is Hispanic AND a Leftist so any attack on her is racist. Did Ms. Walsh accuse Democrats of racism when they filibustered Miguel Estrada to keep him off a federal circuit court? She did not, even though in internal memos Democrats cited his ethnicity as a reason to keep him off the court. Sotomayor's belief that federal courts are legitimate policy makers and that she does not feel constrained by the Constitution were the reasons her nomination was challenged.

Still, Limbaugh and Beck continue to ratchet up their alarming and increasingly racist hatred for the president.

This is Lib speak for: "if you oppose the President's policies, you are racist." Its a very convenient tactic, but outside of Salon's typical readership most Americans are too smart for this nonsense. Identity politics plus a Black President equals four years of unabated manipulation of white guilt in the eyes of soulless Socialists.

Limbaugh's been on this beat for a long time, but the complicated Gates case inspired him to a whole new level of fiction. "Here you have a black president trying to destroy a white policeman," the radio bully told his audience last Friday, the day Obama expressed regret over his quick judgment in the matter and invited Skip Gates and Officer James Crowley to the White House for a beer.

What "beat" is Joan speaking of? Well, dear reader, you are supposed to assume he has been attacking Obama as a Black man. The only people who claim Limbaugh is a racist are the Leftist thugs who do not listen to him, but claim to be experts on every word he utters. As for Rush's words about BHO's attack on Officer Crowley, what did he get wrong? The President of the United States, the most powerful individual in the world, used his bully pulpit to decide the right-and-wrong of the situation for the American people. Does any reasonable person believe race was NOT the primary factor in him doing that? As is his usual schtick, Obama did not apologize for what he said, but for how people may have heard it. A non-apology apology. When the heat is turned on him, he invites them to the White House for a photo-op. His instinct was racial division, but his political survival skills say play the peacemaker. Smooth.

And the piece de resistance:

There's a psychological term for this kind of unhinged behavior, and it's called "projection." These two racists are projecting their own racial feelings onto Obama. Increasingly, the ranks of the racially blinkered (and I include MSNBC's Pat Buchanan here) are playing victim, insisting Obama's modest moves -- appointing a Latina justice, using the Gates case to speak out against racial profiling -- are reversing the racial order wholesale, and putting white men on the bottom of the pile.

"Projection?" Ms. Pot meet Madame Kettle. Notice she just calls Beck and Limbaugh "racists" with no reference to any statement or action. You see, they are Conservatives therefore it is an article of faith in the Church of Liberalism that they are racists. Obama's words cannot be held up as improper because he is Black AND a Statist. But, notice Joanie's own words: Obama's modest moves -- appointing a Latina justice, using the Gates case to speak out against racial profiling. Ask yourself this question: how many times have you heard Democrats defending specific aspects of Sonia Sotomayor's qualifications and how many times have they trotted out her ethnicity? You see, Sotomayor is not to be evaluated on her decisions, her speeches, or her judical philosophy. She is a "Latina justice" and that is all that matters. Opposition equals racism. As for the Gates blowup, it had nothing to do with racial profiling. I'm assuming Joanie Walsh isn't stupid, so she should know the definition of racial profiling. Obama is playing CYA because he openly played the race card and knew he was caught. But, again, Obama is above criticism. We must accept his ridiculous rationalizations lest we be the collective reincarnations of Bull Conner.

It's time for more decent Republicans to take a stand against the vicious anti-Obama racism of the party fringe and their broadcast fuhrers. On Monday Ohio Sen. George Voinovich blasted the dominance of his party's Southern fringe, and its outdated Southern Strategy with its emphasis on racial division.

Ahhhh, projection. Conservatives do not give a whit about race. The only people who claim otherwise are Leftwing hacks who do not listen to the talk shows they criticize or read the columnists or authors they slander. Ms. Walsh, the operative color in the Obama backlash is red not black. He is a Marxist. The federal government is shredding the Constitution and promising to destroy even more liberty. That is what is being challenged by the "broadcast fuhrers." The obligatory Nazi reference demonstrates the historical ignorance of the modern Liberal. The National German Socialist Workers Party was a LEFTIST movement. It is NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Salon, The New York Times, etc., who refuse to treat people as individuals and foment racial identity politics. Conservatives will lambast anti-liberty, socialistic, fascistic public policy all day long. Leftists do not want to engage in an honest debate so they invoke the racist, sexist, homophobic tags. Who is divisive, Ms. Walsh?

Kweisi Mfume appeared with Joan Walsh on "Hardball" and both managed to attack "divisive" conservatives with a straight face. Mfume has made a living off calling political opponents racists. Did he profess outrage when House Democrats accused Republicans of racism for wanting to investigate Fannie Mae? Did he defend the falsely accused Duke lacrosse players? Mfume is a phony and his mock-outrage is pathetic.

Walsh uttered this classic on "Hardball": "He loves white people. Obama got to where he is, in my opinion, largely because he makes white people feel like he knows we're all trying really hard and we really like it when black people make us feel that way." What condescending drivel! Obama is where he is because he played to divisive stereotypes cultivated by the Left over the years. Obama is an individual as am I. His mixed race heritage and my whiteness are irrelevant. He doesn't need me for validation nor do I need him. He doesn't make me feel good. He makes me feel like Vladimir Lenin and Norman Thomas were right about how the U.S. would embrace socialism gradually and without realizing what is going on. What this airhead saw as an "up with people" clincher was really added proof that she and her Leftist lemmings see everything in terms of identity politics.

Personally, I am sick and tired of political positions being viewed through a filter of race. It is not the conservative end of the spectrum that does this. They do not need to do so because Conservatives can stand on facts and win the argument. As is clear in Joan Walsh's psychotic ramblings, the Left sees demographics not individuals. Their world view does not allow for the singular citizen. It is time that Democrats take ownership of their radical socialism and be honest about who they are. They won't do that because they know they must pretend to uphold American values in order to win elections. That is why they must "project" their insipid hatred on the thinking population. They can't be honest AND win.

Barack Obama's "I Think You're Stupid" Tour 2009

Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama has snapped. The lies are getting bigger and bolder. The disconnect from reality is greater all the time. It seems Mr. Hope-and-Change has taken the advice of noted statesman Adolf Hitler when it comes to employing the Big Lie:

The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies, but would be ashamed to tell big lies. (from Mein Kampf)

His current string of speeches across the fruited plan are based on one basic premise: he believes the American people are fundamentally stupid. The recession was caused by Bush's "tax cuts for the rich." The recession was a Republican party creation. The recession is now over. Massive spending bills have ended the recession. No one will have medical care if the government doesn't manage it. The cheering, clapping throng of loons demonstrates that he is right about a certain segment of the population. Our future depends on the zombies being a minority and opinion polls are showing good news on that front.

Here are a few inconvenient truths for Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama:

1. Bush also inherited a recession and had to deal with the 9/11 attacks which devastated the economy further. He called for tax cuts which brought on 4+ years of unabated economic growth.
2. The Bush tax cuts were for ALL tax payers, not just the wealthy. This is where Obama and the Leftists depend on your inability to do math. Ten percent of $50,000 if less than ten percent of $200,000. Both taxpayers get the same percentage cut, but the one who pays more gets more back. That is true economic justice.
3. The "last eight years of Republican control" is dishonest. The GOP held the executive and legislative branches for four of those years. For two, the Congress was split and for two the Democrats held the majority. In fact, the last two years (2007-2008) when the economic downturn began happened under a Democrat Congress in which Obama was a member.
4. Democrats never seriously opposed massive spending bills during the Bush years. The Democrat argument was always that NOT ENOUGH was being spent and that taxes should be raised. If the Leftists had mounted any sort of opposition to reckless spending they could take the high ground. Instead, they are complicit.
5. President Bush and Republicans DID try to reform health care to cut costs. Whenever they tried to fix problems with Medicare, Democrats accused them of trying to kill old people. They tried to fix the problem of runaway lawsuits, but Democrats opposed caps because they are in the hip pocket of the trial lawyer lobby. They tried to open up the market for small business to participate in insurance pools to lower costs, but Democrats fought them. The only "reform" Democrats favor is a government take over.
6. Republicans tried to investigate and fix the corruption and mismanagement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It was Republicans who called for greater oversight and regulation of those reckless institutions. Barney Frank can lie all he wants about the recent history of the financial markets, but he led the fight AGAINST greater regulation of the mortgage insurers. Some Democrats accused the investigators of racism. Meanwhile, Fannie and Freddie were hurtling toward insolvency while Democrat insider Franklin Raines was pocketing over $90 million as its CEO over three years.
7. Don't try to paint Bush as a fiscal conservative. He was not. He was right to cut taxes, but wrong to expand government spending. Of course, the Democrats were right there voting for the spending. Conservatives increasingly criticized this so-called "compassionate conservatism" which is simply Liberalism Lite. When you say "their failed ideas", you are really talking about incremental socialism. Conservative ideas have nothing to do with any brand of socialism. We favor liberty and freedom, not government enslavement.
8. Obama voted for every spending bill, except for a couple intended to defend our country. When Obama says "fiscal responsibility", he means HIGHER TAXES.
9. Obama is now claiming there was "not a single earmark" in his "stimulus" package. Note the careful use of language. There was not a "single" earmark; there were thousands!

No doubt, there is a slice of America that is too ignorant to process the lies and distortions of ObamAlinsky and his Brownshirts. However, we deserve better. There is a reason he lies. There is a reason he ran to the right of John McCain, who is one of those foolish Republicans who simply wants to slow an inevitable march to socialism. Real Americans reject this notion. Socialism and enslavement by the government is not inevitable. We are citizens not subjects.

The Sarah Palin Farewell Speech Big Media Missed: On Liberty and Self-Reliance

The media uproar after Sarah Palin's Sunday farewell address as Alaska's governor focused on two things: her "wacky behavior" and her attack on the media. In other words, the coverage had nothing to do with Palin. It was a group therapy session for the Big Media elites and Democrat partisans (I guess that is redundant).

What Big Media calls "instability" is acting like a regular person. That is one of Palin's characteristics that drives these blow-dried blowhards batty. She is always unedited. She doesn't test her words in front of focus groups. Most politicians sounds like they are reading from the same script. Palin connects with Flyover America because she is outraged and irritated by the same things that peeve regular folks.

As for her attacks on the press, Big Media needs to check the polls. Even most Democrats realize that the media is slanted in their direction. Their reporting is sloppy and their evaluation of public figures is hyper-partisan. The "experience" canard during the campaign was a great example. Big Media belittled Sarah Palin's preparatory experience to be vice-president while fawning like a gaggle of teenage girls over Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama who possessed zero executive experience and an undistinguished legislative record which included half a term in the U.S. Senate, most of which was spent running for President. Palin was a nobody from nowhere and he was the greatest leader to ever walk on planet Earth.

Big Media left out the best parts of Palin's farewell speech. She spoke of liberty and self-reliance. Nooooooooooo! Those concepts are so dangerous to the goals of Leftist-Liberal-Progressive-Socialists and Big Media that they are taboo for coverage. But, a lot of Americans still prefer liberty to totalitarianism, even if the freedom is curtailed "for our own good." These words were from a person who is grounded in the Founders, not Marx and Alinsky.

So much success, and Alaska there is much good in store further down the road, but to reach it we must value and live the optimistic pioneering spirit that made this state proud and free, and we can resist enslavement to big central government that crushes hope and opportunity. Be wary of accepting government largess. It doesn't come free and often, accepting it takes away everything that is free, melting into Washington's powerful "care-taking" arms will just suck incentive to work hard and chart our own course right out of us, and that not only contributes to an unstable economy and dizzying national debt, but it does make us less free.

I resisted the stimulus package. I resisted the stimulus package and we have championed earmark reform, slashing earmark requests by 85% to break the cycle of dependency on a stifling, unsustainable federal agenda, and other states should follow this for their and for America's stability. We don't have to feel that we must beg an allowance from Washington, except to beg the allowance to be self-determined. See, to be self-sufficient, Alaska must be allowed to develop - to drill and build and climb, to fulfill statehood's promise. At statehood we knew this. At statehood we knew this, that we are responsible for ourselves and our families and our future, and fifty years later, please let's not start believing that government is the answer. It can't make you happy or healthy or wealthy or wise. What can? It is the wisdom of the people and our families and our small businesses, and industrious individuals, and it is God's grace, helping those who help themselves, and then this allows that very generous voluntary hand up that we're known for, enthusiastically providing for those who need it.

Alaskans will remember that years ago, remember we sported the old bumper sticker that said, "Alaska. We Don't Give a Darn How They Do It Outside?" Do you remember that? I remember that, and remember it was because we would be different. We'd roll up our sleeves, and we would diligently sow and reap, and we can still do this to carve wealth out of the wilderness and make our living on the water, with strong hands and innovative minds, now with smarter technology. It is what our first people and our parents did. It worked, because they worked. We must be prudent and persistent and press for the people's right to responsibly develop God-given resources for the maximum benefit of the people.

Yeah, what a kook. Rugged individualism. Development of natural resources. Liberty from government control. State sovereignty (i.e., the U.S. Constitution s written). Government can't solve your problems. Prosperity comes from hard work. In other words, she spoke of all the things Big Media and Leftist Democrats despise. Here is the speech in its entirety.

Sarah Palin may not be the right candidate to defeat Amerika's favorite son Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama in 2012. However, she gets it. Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Tim Pawlenty or whoever else may have designs on the GOP nomination should read Palin's farewell speech and understand that Real America responds to those ideas. They don't want another stiff suit debating the manner in which our freedoms will be usurped. Real Americans want leaders with courage and conviction who will say "no" to evil and totalitarianism rather than negotiate the extent of freedom's loss. In other words, we need somebody who has a pair--even if that someone is a woman.

Big Media Whines About Sarah Palin's Farewell Speech

Sarah Palin gave her farewell speech as Governor of Alaska on Sunday and, of course, the focus on the speech was her smackdown of Big Media. Don't get me wrong, they deserved the smackdown and their response proves they still don't get it. From Palin's speech:

And first, some straight talk for some, just some in the media because another right protected for all of us is freedom of the press, and you all have such important jobs reporting facts and informing the electorate, and exerting power to influence. You represent what could and should be a respected honest profession that could and should be the cornerstone of our democracy. Democracy depends on you, and that is why, that's why our troops are willing to die for you. So, how 'bout in honor of the American soldier, ya quit makin' things up.

Big Media has been apoplectic since those words passed her lips. "How dare she question them?" "What did we do to her?" "We just report the news." Not a word is said as Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama attacks FoxNews, talk radio, and Conservative pundits. However, when Sarah Palin challenged the credibility of Big Media all hell broke loose. In their eyes, it isn't a lie unless they choose to report it (just ask Dan Rather).

In Big Media's insulated echo chamber, they all dislike Palin because she didn't go to the right schools, doesn't represent socialist ideology, and doesn't pander to the political and social elites. Katie, Wolf, "Stretch Gregory, Stephanopolous, Brian, Charlie and the rest of the arrogant talking heads can sneer at Palin and her supporters, but those are the people who are no longer watching those slimey blowhards. REAL Americans don't care what these news readers think of Palin or of them. Flyover America gets it. They know CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, and MSNBC newscasts have all the legitimacy of a Vince McMahon-produced WWE program. The fix is in and has been for a long time. Big Media has become a dutiful wing of the DNC. They just repeat what Rahmbo and the Family Guy tell them to say.

While flipping channels and listening to some of the discussion panels a comical pattern of irony developed. One after another, these snobbish clowns trashed Palin for whining about her treatment. Read the text of the speech and judge for yourself how much of it was "whiny." But, they immediately jumped into how unfair her attacks on the media are and how paranoid she is. The buzzword of the Monday morning faxes from the DNC to Big Media must have been "Nixonian." They accused her of sniveling while they moaned about how they just do their job and attacks on them are a return to the days of Tricky Dick and Spiro.

I have written several posts about Palin, so one might get the idea I am in her corner for 2012. They would not be accurate. She certainly understands conservatism. She understands American history and the U.S. Constitution. She understands the American values that still matter in Flyover America, if not in the newsrooms of Big Media. Real Americans are drawn to Sarahcuda. She is one of us. This is especially appealing nine months after we elected a community organizer who does not appreciate American values, is not very bright, and who is attempting to foist every failed policy in human history on my country. He is not one of us; he is a Marxist.

Palin may or may not be the future of the GOP. However, her brand of Conservatism is our only hope. She gets it. Prissy David Frum may think Republicans should always position themselves one step to the right of the Democrats no matter how far to the Left they try to take the country. That is irresponsible, dangerous and politically stupid. The Republican Party needs to be an alternative for those who believe in the Constitution, the rule of law, limited government, individual responsibility, the sovereignty of states and ideals recorded in our Declaration of Independence. If folks want Marxism, they will vote Democrat. The disconnect between the 2006 and 2008 election returns and polls relating to key issues tell the story. America is a Conservative country. The Republican Party abdicated the high ground on so many issues because no matter how many elections they won, they governed as though they had to please Democrats.

Big Media will continue to hate Sarah Palin. That is because they hate the American people. They will never say it, but they see us as a bunch of hayseeds who listen to country music, eat at buffets and prefer pick-up trucks to Priuses. They are the elites and they can't understand why the rabble doesn't just listen to them and do as they are told. They built a celebrity-type groundswell to elect Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama. It was hype not hope. Palin represents the real hope of Real Americans.

Democrats Censor Republican Mail

The Democrats have lost all sense of reality. Congressman John Carter of Texas has gone public with communication he received from the Franking Commission. Representative Carter wanted to let his constituents know he is working to protect them from government-run health care. It seems that phrase is not allowed by Nancy Pelosi's Kommissars.

“I received the script back from the majority, and there are a couple of changes that need to be made to make it compliant,” the Franking Commission e-mail said. “In the first paragraph change ‘House Democrats unveiled a government run health care plan’ to either ‘the house majority (sic) unveiled a public option health care plan’ or 'Just this past week the House majority (sic) unveiled a health care plan which I believe will cost taxpayers ….’”

“Change this on both scripts and send it back to me,” the e-mail concluded.

This is not bipartisanship. In fact, this isn't even American. The Democrats seem to believe that victory in a couple elections gives them the authority to establish a one-party regime. It is amazing that the same people who accused George W. Bush of threatening free speech for eight years (and none spent a day in jail, were fined a single penny or prevented from writing or saying anything) now are party to the suppression of political speech. I guess that is the kind of "change" the Leftist-Liberal-Progressives had in mind.

So Ted Kennedy is the "Knight" of Health Care Reform?

Lately, the Mainstream Media (i.e., Democrat Party Communications Team) has been touting Edward "Ted" Otis Norm Foster Brooks Kennedy as the "heart" of decades of Democrat desires to put a health care policy in every pot and a grievance on every tongue. He has even written editorials on the subject. His recent fight with brain cancer has been used to give the Massachusetts Marxist greater "moral authority" on health issues. That is a bit like putting Bill Clinton in charge of a program to mentor female interns.

Now, I will give Ted this: no American, living or dead, has been more consistently willing to take money from people who earned it and give it to people who have not. In Leftist-Liberal-Progressive circles that is a sign of humanity. After all, the government is much more trustworthy than individual citizens. But, the health guru? Let's examine...

The one time Ted Kennedy had it it his hands to make a life or death decision for another human being, he chose death. Ask Mary Jo Kopechne about Teddy's compassion. Suffocating girl or my political future? Not a hard choice for a privileged Limousine Liberal. Kennedy killed exactly one person more with his form of waterboarding than did the Bush administration. Of course, Bush was dealing with terrorists and Kopechne was a young girl who had the misfortune of being caught up with an irresponsible drunk.

Most of today's health insurance system is a product of the HMO Act of 1973. Who was the author? Yep, Teddy Kennedy. Just as he had been a champion of illegal immigration and undershot the costs of Medicare by nearly $500 billion, Kennedy blustered that the HMO system would save money and be more efficient than the traditional pay-for-care system. Now, the system HE helped created is the bane of humanity and causing death in the streets.

More recently, JFK's embarrassing little brother has endured an episode with brain cancer. Hopefully, he will have a full recovery and live many more years. But, under ObamaCare would Ted Kennedy received the top shelf treatment he has gotten? After all, he is 78 years old with a long history of obesity and heavy drinking. The answer, of course, is YES! He is an elite member of the Leftist establishment.

But, would YOUR parent get the same care? Absolutely not, unless they are part of the Democrat inner circle. You see, the one cost-cutting provision in the "reform" bills in Congress involves government making life and death decisions. Older people will not be treated before their value to society is evaluated. "Liberal Lions" will get the best available care. But, what of regular folks? Yeah, they are your loved ones, but that is irrelevant. They are simply old people who are sucking the system dry. They need to accept fate and die. After all, its for the children.

Forgive me, if I don't find an aging trustfund baby with a record of short-sighted legislation, personal irresponsibility and Marxist idealism to be a beacon of intelligent reform. He has no moral authority on any level of the health care debate.

Barack Obama, Henry Gates and the Attack of the Race Baiters Part Infinitum

Pardon me, but I am sick to death of the on-going "conversation" on race in America. I know I'm just a privileged White guy (not really--Dad worked as a railroad brakeman and Mom as a homemaker), but it seems apparent to me that racism is much more a mechanism for grievance politics than a daily reality in American life. Don't get me wrong, I am well aware that there are bigots and there always will be. In fact, there are bigots of every race, ethnicity and gender. However, the stock phrase "we've come a long way, but we have a long way to go" is asinine in this day and age. The "long way to go" part simply means this: Democrats and the Race industry (i.e., Je$$e Jackson, Al Sharpton, and various so-called "leaders") are not finished using the average Black American to advance their power and position.

The arrest of Professor Henry Gates stemmed from a misunderstanding. From all accounts (including Black policemen and officials), it was Professor Gates who blew the situation out of proportion. The police responded to a call about a break-in. They found Mr. Gates. Of course, they were right to expect him to produce ID before they believed he was the home owner. Gates, who is a long-time engineer on the racial grievance train, went ballistic and was charged for his behavior toward the officers NOT for breaking into his own house as the mainstream media imbeciles have reported. The charges were later dropped, but it didn't stop the race hounds from being released on the public once again.

Last night, I watched part of CNN's "Black in America II." The psychology at work is fascinating. A segment about affluent Blacks was particularly interesting. It was repeated over and over that White people would be surprised these folks exist. Really? I have been White for most of my life and I can honestly say I don't recall ever having a conversation that included shock about a Black person working in a high-paying profession. Why would anyone be surprised to find Blacks working as stock brokers, doctors, lawyers or CEOs? The answer is simple: so-called Black "leaders" are the culprit for many of the negative images.

It is political Leftists and community organizers (like Je$$e, Al, and Barack) who constantly tell us that something has to be done for Black Americans. The implication is that Black Americans cannot do for themselves. Lowering taxes would help Black American. Improving the climate for business start-ups would help Black Americans. Getting the government out of individuals' lives would help Black Americans. Increasing domestic energy production would help Black Americans. Of course, those same things would help Whites, Asians, Hispanics and Pacific Islanders. In other words, truly effective public policy is not race specific.

Every day, Black Americans are taking advantage of educational opportunities. Every day, Black Americans are making smart financial decisions. Every day, Black Americans are working to take care of their families. Every day, Black Americans are counseling their children to do the right thing. Every day, Black Americans are working to advance in their jobs or maybe even starting their own businesses. Again, the key has nothing to do with race. These are individuals making smart and effective decisions to improve themselves and their families. They make the right decisions because they are good citizens and good people, not because they are Black.

Good public policy is color blind. It is not black vs. white. It is government vs. the individual. It is time the race warlords surrender their superiority. There is a cottage industry that has built its wealth and prestige on telling regular folks that they need the Democrat party and the self-appointed Black elites to maintain a basic existence. It is time for new leadership in the Black community that cares more about individuals advancing rather than upholding rotting institutions that have provided decades of disservice.

Let's be logical about this. The Democrat party has dominated the politics of almost every major urban area in America for decades. They control the states with the highest tax rates, the highest unemployment rates, and the highest crime rates. Yet, every election Leftist-Liberal-Progressive Democrat elites tell Black people they are the saviors of the race. The race warlords work hard to deliver votes for the Democrat party by promising more of the same policies that have not worked. Group identity politics has been a disaster.

I will give President Obama credit for giving an apology (sort of) for the disgraceful attack he launched on the arresting officer in the Gates affair. To whatever degree true racial profiling exists, we should all desire an end to the practice. However, just as importantly, we must also reach a point where a misunderstanding between a White person and a Black person can occur without the ghosts of lynchings past being invoked to convince Americans, Black and White, that little has changed in the last half-century. In fact, we have to be able to accept that it could just be the Black guy who acted like a jackass.

I started elementary school in the fall of 1970 in a school district that was integrated in 1967. Having Black students in class was no big deal. We never gave it a thought. I'm sure if you talked to Black kids from my school they heard mean comments from some kids at some point. But, it certainly was not part of the daily experience. Funny thing about kids, if you just leave them alone with each other they have no problem getting along. If all children are told they can succeed and are given the opportunities to do so, their skin color will not matter. However, when adults saddle their children with the baggage of the past the attitudes will become tainted. There will always be individuals who cannot release their racial prism. It is time that leaders resist the temptation to use the most base of human instincts to build their own power.

States May Flex Their 10th Amendment Muscles on ObamaCare

Finally. After a century of constant usurpations of state authority by the greedy three-headed monster known as the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the federal government, it seems some states may be poised to stand up to the tyrants. In an interview with talk show host Mark Davis, Texas Governor Rick Perry threw down the gauntlet. Perry had earlier supported a pro-10th Amendment which failed in the Texas legislature. At some point, states need to tell the President, the Congress, and the Supreme Court to pound sand when they attempt to rule as an autonomous national government rather than function as the limited government DEMANDED by the United States Constitution.

The Constitution says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say. Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas have tried to point this out to their colleagues over the years. Arizona Congressman John Shadegg has introduced The Enumerated Powers Act (HR450 in the current Congress) for many years which would require that any bill introduced in Congress include a specific reference to where the Constitution allows for the legislation. Much of the on-going Tea Party movement is focused on the general notion that the federal government has exceeded its legitimate functions and has become a tyranny.

One step American Patriots can take against ObamaCare and much of the other nonsense emanating from the Beltway is to let their legislators know that they expect them to follow the Constitution. Tell them to support Shadegg's bill. Emphasize the Constitution's limit on the federal government when you email or call your legislator. Fill letters-to-the-editor and op-ed pages with commentaries about the Constitution. Challenge Leftists-Liberal-Socialist-Democrats to cite the Constitutional legitimacy of their Marxist ideas. The times they are a changin' for the the arrogant Leftists who thought 2008's election was a mandate for socialism. They were wrong and we need to keep the pressure on.

Bill O'Reilly Defends Barbara Boxer and Proves He Doesn't Understand Liberal Racism

Bill O'Reilly interviewed Harry Alford on "The O'Reilly Factor" and Bill again showed why he is on the margins of the Conservative movement. He just doesn't get it. He actually defended Kalifornia Senator Barbara Boxer's racist confrontation with Mr. Alford during a Senate committee hearing. O'Reilly said Boxer didn't intentionally insert race. He is probably right, but that is the problem. Racism is so endemic to Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialist thought that they have absolutely no self-awareness.

Just like a child who is brought up by bigots to dislike people because of their race, Leftists are raised and nurtured on the notion of inherent differences between people. They develop a paternalistic notion that "those people" cannot function without the help of so-called "liberals." They are sub-citizens who must always be defined with an asterisk and managed as a group rather than treated as individuals.

That is why Boxer, as empty a head as exists in the Senate, was genuinely shocked that Harry Alford was indignant at her belittling of the Black Chamber of Commerce's climate change position. The BCC has been involved in studies of the issue for over a decade and has built a position based on scientific data. Boxer confronted a Black professional group's data analysis with a resolution of the NAACP, which is a partisan political organization. She could have dug up a different professional group's stance, but that never occurred to her. This was a Black group, so they must be countered with a Black group.

This should also be a message to the Republican losers who are constantly looking for a way to pander to Blacks or single women or Hispanics or homosexuals. DON'T DO IT! Democrats own the copyright on identity politics, so it is futile to compete. Besides, it is degrading to those who are members of those groups, but who actually see themselves as distinct individuals.

The media and racist Democrats have pulled the same non-sense with the Sonia Sotomayor nomination. "Republicans risk alienating Hispanics." "Republicans have a Hispanic problem." "Oppose her at your own risk." None of that has anything to do with deciphering whether or not she will be lying when she promises to uphold the Constitution. The opposition to Sotomayor had nothing to do with ethnicity; it was mostly about her own words and decisions standing in opposition to the Constitution and the role of the federal courts.

Leftists in the media and the Democrat party do not give one hoot about Hispanics (or any other minority) as individuals. They do revel in their ability to exploit race and ethnicity for political and ideological gain. When President Bush appointed Miguel Estrada to the D.C. Appellate Court, Democrats fought tooth and nail to defeat his nomination. In fact, they attacked his ethnicity calling him "unauthentic." Did the up-with-people media come to Estrada's defense and attack the Democrat filibuster? Did they accuse Democrats of denying an opportunity to an accomplished Hispanic man? Yeah, right!

Conservatives need to get their message out to people in these demographics. High taxes, intrusive government, heavy regulation, federal power grabs and creeping Big Brotherism is a threat to Americans regardless of race, gender or sexual preference. The Alford incident should be used to expose the racial superiority that under girds the politics of many White Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialists.

Is It a He or a She? Only Your Imperial Federal Government Knows For Sure

I would like to make a motion that all satire within Amerika's borders be eliminated. It is no longer necessary as the reality of the United Socialist States of Amerika has become so ridiculous that it defies all logic. Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" might be seen as a serious reform pamphlet today rather than a scathing satire.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee has included this juicy little nugget in their version of health care "reform": the Secretary of Health and Human Services (currently space ranger Kathleen Sebelius) would have the authority and responsibility to develop criteria for defining gender. Yep, Amerika is now so brain dead and helpless that we cannot tell Adam from Eve. We need Big Brother to define the most basic distinctive characteristic of human beings (or any animal lifeform).

We have mainstreamed Amerika's growing freakshow. We do not need to change the understandings of thousands of years of human existence to accomodate the confused, the metally ill, and the bizarre. They may be befuzzled about their identity, but I am not.

Edgycater has a little hint for anyone confused about their gender: pull down your La Cage Aux Folles underoos and hold in your jelly roll: if you see an outie you are a buck and if you see an innie you are a doe. Any questions? You are welcome. Feel free to share this wisdom with your confused Leftist-Liberal-Progressive-Socialist friends if they are experiencing gender confusion.
