Sotomayor Over Ruled by Supreme Court

...News Flash...

Sotomayor ruling over turned again by Supreme Court. This La Raza activist is all she can be. She sucks as a jurist. She is too busy empathizing to rule on the law.

Question...

Is Face Book, the social networking site, closing the accounts of Iranians sending out information from inside Iran at this crucial time of freedom marches and Governmental Butchery? I would like info on this if it is true. If they are, Why?

'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?' From Lee Iacocca's book

Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.
Here is an excerpt. See also: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/iacocca.asp

Lee Iacocca Says:

'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the course.'

Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'

You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.

The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq , the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the 'America' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?

I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis ! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001 , we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.

We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.

We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country.

We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.

Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble.

Our borders are like sieves.

The middle class is being squeezed every which way.

These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?

We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm.

Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it?

Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on CNN will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?

Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America . In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11.

If I've learned one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a "Call to Action" for people who, like me, believe in America '. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let' s shake off the crap and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had enough.

Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about.. It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at stake!!

Star Parker

Thanks again to G-man for passing this on.

Back on Uncle Sam's plantation

Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist

Six years ago I wrote a book called Uncle Sam's Plantation. I wrote the book to tell my own story of what I saw living inside the welfare state and my own transformation out of it.

I said in that book that indeed there are two Americas -- a poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism.

I talked about government programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children (EANF), Section 8 Housing, and Food Stamps.

A vast sea of perhaps well-intentioned government programs, all initially set into motion in the 1960s by Democrats, that were going to lift the nation's poor out of poverty.

A benevolent Uncle Sam welcomed mostly poor black Americans onto the government plantation. Those who accepted the invitation switched mindsets from "How do I take care of myself?" to "What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?"

Instead of solving economic problems, government welfare socialism created monstrous moral and spiritual problems -- the kind of problems that are inevitable when individuals turn responsibility for their lives over to others.

The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families.

Through God's grace, I found my way out. It was then that I understood what freedom meant and how great this country is.

I had the privilege of working on welfare reform in 1996 which was passed by a Republican controlled Congress.

I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of our poor black communities and replacing it with wealth-producing American capitalism.

But, incredibly, we are now going in the opposite direction.

Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich American on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.

Uncle Sam has welcomed our banks onto the plantation and they have said, "Thank you, Suh."

Now, instead of thinking about what creative things need to be done to serve customers, they are thinking about what they have to tell Massah in order to get their cash.

There is some kind of irony that this is all happening under our first black president on the 200th anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.

Worse, socialism seems to be the element of our new young president. And maybe even more troubling, our corporate executives seem happy to move onto the plantation.

In an op-Ed on the opinion page of the Washington Post, Mr. Obama is clear that the goal of his trillion dollar spending plan is much more than short term economic stimulus.

"This plan is more than a prescription for short-term spending -- it's a strategy for America 'S long-term growth and opportunity in areas such as renewable energy, healthcare, and education."

Perhaps more incredibly, Obama seems to think that government taking over an economy is a new idea. Or that massive growth in government can take place "with unprecedented transparency and accountability."

Yes, sir, we heard it from Jimmy Carter when he created the Department of Energy, the Synfuels Corporation, and the Department of Education.

Or how about the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 -- The War on Poverty -- which President Johnson said "....does not merely expand old programs or improve what is already being done.. It charts a new course. It strikes at the causes, not just the consequences of poverty."

Trillions of dollars later, black poverty is the same. But black families are not, with triple the incidence of single-parent homes and out-of-wedlock births.

It's not complicated. Americans can accept Barack Obama's invitation to move onto the plantation. Or they can choose personal responsibility and freedom.

Does anyone really need to think about what the choice should be?

"The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

Tiger Woods Speech At the Obaminations Inauguration

Did you hear the Tiger Woods Speech? It was the only true thing said there.
Sent to me by G-Man...Thanks Again

Please pass this on. God Bless America.





              TIGER WOODS SPEECH AT THE 2009 INAUGURATION:


              Tiger Woods received a special invitation to speak at the
              inauguration.    His invitees were stunned, shocked when he did not
              deliver the message they expected.     A brief read and you will
              understand why the media swept Woods' remarks under the rug with no
              further ado and why the liberal left of our American society was again
              displeased with Tiger.

              His speech was entitled:

              "You'll Never Walk Alone"
                [text is word-for-word as posted on Tiger's web site]

              "I grew up in a military family - and my role models in life were my
              Mom and Dad, Lt. Colonel Earl Woods.   My dad was a Special Forces
              operator and many nights friends would visit our home.   They
              represented every branch of the service, and every rank.

              In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw first hand the dedication and
              commitment of those who serve. They come from every walk of life; from
              every part of our country.   Time and again, across generations, they
              have defended our safety in the dark of night and far from home.

              Each day -- and particularly on this historic day -- we honor the men
              and women in uniform who serve our country and protect our freedom.
              They travel to the dangerous corners of the world, and we must
              remember that for every person who is in uniform, there are families
              who wait for them to come home safely.

              I am honored that the military is such an important part, not just of
              my personal life, but of my professional one as well.   The golf
              tournament we do each year here in Washington is a testament to those
              unsung heroes.

              I am the son of a man who dedicated his life to his country, family
              and the military, and I am a better person for it.


              In the summer of 1864, Abraham Lincoln, the man at whose memorial we
              stand, spoke to the 164th Ohio Regiment and said: 'I am greatly
              obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their
              country.'


              Just as they have stood tall for our country - we must always stand by
              and support the men and women in uniform and their families.


              Thank you, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the US Naval Glee Club ...."


              ====

              Tiger Woods' 2-minute, 5-second tribute to the our nation's military
              was delivered January 18th at the Inaugural Celebration in Washington ,
              DC!      He had been subjected to intense pressure to attend and offer
              remarks.     Especially so by liberals who have demeaned and
              criticized him for a decade for not joining their ranks.     Yet, at
              the Lincoln Memorial, instead of paying homage to Barack Obama, Tiger
              paid tribute to our soldiers.     Not once did Tiger mention Obama,
              the inauguration or the new administration.     He had to understand
              expressing his love for America and appreciation for our military men
              and women would disappoint the national newsmedia and the liberal
              left.     But Tiger is his own man; his father taught him to be his
              own man.

              Somewhere over that cold, gray Washington sky, Colonel Earl Woods was
              smiling down on his beloved son.     And there will be one more crying
              hug waiting for Tiger when the time comes he passes through heavan's
              gates into God's arms.
              ******

              What?   You did not previously know what Tiger said?   You did not
              see a video clip of him speaking on a national television network, you
              did not see a photo of Tiger at the Lincoln Memorial offering his
              remarks, you did not read a story in the NY Times?   His
              appearance at the Inaugural Celebration had been widely hailed and
              promoted in advance by the Obama inaugural organizers .. . . yet
              January 18 when he came and spoke . . .

              Oh, well.

              WELL   If you are as tired of this liberal media reporting as I am, change the channel, and pass this one on. I am!

Fantastic Article Descriptor of P-BHO The Despot From The American Thinker...Obama, The African Colonial By L.E. Ikenga

"Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa.

Like many educated intellectuals in post-colonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism. I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas."

Fw: Polls show 68% for deportation!! From the Heritage Foundation "

(Update: On Tuesday, May 16, the Senate passed Sen. Jeff Bingaman's (D-NM) amendment to S. 2611 that significantly reduced the number of legal immigrants who could enter under the bill's "guest worker" program. As a result of this change, our estimate of the number of legal immigrants who would enter the country or would gain legal status under S. 2611 falls from 103 million to around 66 million over the next 20 years.)

If enacted, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S.2611) would be the most dramatic change in immigration law in 80 years, allowing an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years—fully one-third of the current population of the United States."

"Science: The president's Council on Bioethics is summarily dismissed when it disagrees on the need for more federally funded embryonic stem cell research. The scientific method doesn't include firing those who disagree with you."

HIGHLY IMPORTANT

Cap and Trade Floor Vote on Friday: Take Action!

This is an urgent message from FreedomWorks. By now you’ve probably heard that leaders in the House have cobbled together enough compromises late Monday night to get the dreaded “Cap and Trade” bill to the floor this Friday. More accurately referred to as “Cap and Tax,” the Waxman-Markey climate legislation is an enormous energy tax that would deal a severe blow to our already shaky economy.

It is vital that you Take Action now. We are asking that you take some time to do three things.

1.    Click here to send an email to your Representative.
2.    Call (866) 928-3035 for the House switchboard where you can be transferred to your Representative’s office. Try (866) 928-0525 if you get a busy signal. (Find your Representative here.)
3.    Forward this email to your friends and urge them to take action against this harmful legislation.

The positive effects of the Waxman-Markey bill on the climate are negligible, by some estimates, almost impossible to measure. On the other hand, the effects it would have on our economy and way of life are devastating.

At the same time many are losing jobs and struggling to get by on less, the Cap and Trade plan would raise energy rates across the board. That means sky-high electricity rates, and more pain at the pump. The CBO has estimated the bill could mean another 77 cents per gallon of gasoline. Higher electricity and fuel prices add to the over-all cost of everything, like food from farms where growers depend on fertilizers, tractors, and transportation. It’s one thing to conserve, but getting to work for the millions who don’t live near public transportation, and lighting and heating our homes are essentials people can’t avoid.

Independent estimates say that families could pay $3,000 more a year on energy and the entire plan would take $2 trillion from our economy in just over eight years.   Numbers like these come at a very real cost, not just in terms of your wallet but in terms of the many, many jobs this legislation gambles with. If you would like more information, please click here to read our Top 10 list.

Waxman-Markey’s Cap and Trade is a plan that shoots us in the foot. We can’t afford this bill, especially when it means nothing in return. Please email and call your legislators now.
Sincerely,
Dick Armey
Chairman

The Following from CAPS

"As you know, Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) has been offered another $50,000 "Challenge Grant" from a very generous donor who shares our concern over the growing tide of illegal immigrants pouring across our borders. But, this Grant does not come without pre-conditions and we need your immediate help today to make this Grant possible.

Here's why. A "Challenge Grant" works as follows: Our donor will give us $1 for every $1 we can raise on our own from supporters like you. That means if you give us $20 today, our donor will give us $20 tomorrow - meaning your gift is really worth $40 or double the original amount. Should you give $50, we would receive an additional $50 for a total gift of $100 and so on - all the way up to $50,000."

Bottom line? If we raise $50,000, our benefactor will give us an additional $50,000 - and that's $100,000 we can use right away to help us develop additional special projects like Americans for Border Security Now, and help us to produce critical pro-border security, anti-over-immigration TV, radio and newspaper ads all across the U.S. (To see our most recent ads, visit our website at www.CAPSweb.org).

"This "Challenge Grant" is one of those opportunities. And I urge you to help us take full advantage of it by clicking here now and donating a generous gift of $20, $40, $50 or more to CAPS today.

You can't multiply by dividing

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Our View: DFRer's outrage: Furious nothings

"What’s more shocking than the outrage Democratic lawmakers around Minnesota expressed when Gov. Tim Pawlenty made his “unallotments” to the state budget?"

"The answer: Their surprise that Pawlenty actually made cuts to things like social services, local government aid, K-12 education and higher education.
But Pawlenty did everything but smoke signal and telegraph what he was going to do long before the session ended in infamy and shame when the DFL-controlled Legislature decided to abdicate its responsibility and not pass a balanced budget, leaving state government’s future in one lame-duck governor’s hands."

The Heritage Foundation rebuts The Congresses take on health Care Reform

"This Monday, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) delivered a major dose of reality to Capitol Hill, affixing a $1 trillion price tag to the Kennedy-Dodd health care plan. Supporters of the Kennedy-Dodd approach then complained that the CBO only scored an incomplete version of the bill and Dodd-Kennedy staffers “were scrambling to give the CBO something closer to the final legislation.” By their own admission, their legislation is incomplete; you would think that would give Dodd-Kennedy supporters pause before pushing the bill through committee."

Of course, KSM did not get a lawyer until months later, after his interrogation was completed, and Tenet says that the information the CIA obtained from him disrupted plots and saved lives. “I believe none of these successes would have happened if we had had to treat KSM like a white-collar criminal – read him his Miranda rights and get him a lawyer who surely would have insisted that his client simply shut up,” Tenet wrote in his memoirs."

What's Behind Obama's Sudden Attempt to Fire the AmeriCorps Inspector General?

Article by Byron York

Chief Political Correspondent
06/11/09 8:14 PM EDT

There are a number of unanswered questions today about President Obama's abrupt decision to fire the inspector general of the AmeriCorps program, Gerald Walpin. Obama sent letters to House and Senate leaders yesterday informing them that he was firing Walpin, effective 30 days from the date of the letters.

"It is vital that I have the fullest confidence in the appointees serving as Inspectors General," the president wrote. "That is no longer the case with regard to this Inspector General."

The 30 day requirement is important because last year Congress passed the Inspectors General Reform Act, which was designed to strengthen protections for IGs, who have the responsibility of investigating allegations of waste, fraud and abuse within federal agencies, against interference by political appointees or the White House. Part of the Act was a requirement that the president give Congress 30 days' notice before dismissing an IG. One of the co-sponsors of the Act was then-Sen. Barack Obama.

* Note from the moderator.
There is no Left or Right only those that believe in Liberty and those that don't.
This phony Left/Right dichotomy is a Totalist construct used to divide people into groups that can be more easily managed and pitted against each other, thus more easily controlled. It is part of talking Totalist Speak. It is crap and don't buy it.

Serial Killers and Politicians Share Traits by Jim Kouri
(The following commentary includes material obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit.)

"Psychopathy is a personality disorder manifested in
people who use a mixture of charm, manipulation, intimidation, and
occasionally violence to control others, in order to satisfy their own
selfish needs. Although the concept of psychopathy has been known for
centuries, the FBI leads the world in the research effort to develop a
series of assessment tools, to evaluate the personality traits and
behaviors attributable to psychopaths"

Government-Run Health Care: The Wrong Prescription for America
"In a plea to political supporters to pressure lawmakers to act with urgency on his plan to socialize America’s health care system, President Obama recently said that if Congress doesn't deliver legislation by the end of the year, the opportunity will be lost."
n response, several proposals were floated in Congress this week, including one by Senator Ted Kennedy. The Washington Post described Kennedy’s 170-page draft plan as “by far the most liberal approach to health-care reform.” Need we say more?

Conservatives for Patients’ Rights (“CPR”), an organization dedicated to educating and informing the public about the principles of patients’ rights and advancing the debate on health care reform, has been running television ads highlighting the downsides of a government-run plan. CPR Chairman and former Columbia/HCA Healthcare Association CEO Rick Scott describes Obama’s plan as “the first step towards socialized medicine.”

Recently, Scott joined CFIF’s Renee Giachino to discuss national health care reform and the four pillars that CPR claims any reform must include, namely, choice, competition, accountability and personal responsibility.

Obama Tells American Businesses to Drop Dead: Kevin Hassett

"June 8 (Bloomberg) -- I’ve finally figured out the Obama economic strategy. President Barack Obama and his team have been having so much fun wielding dictatorial power while rescuing “failed” firms, that they have developed a scheme to gain the same power over every business. The plan is to enact policies that are so anti competitive that every firm needs a bailout."

"Budget: Putting the federal budget on a "pay as you go" basis sounds fiscally reasonable, responsible even. But it's nothing of the sort. Rather, it's a gimmick intended to raise Americans' taxes to record levels."

Got Your Permit to Study the Bible?

"Recently a California pastor and his wife were required by San Diego County officials to obtain a permit to hold a Bible study in their home.

"What?! Is this a joke?" I wondered as I heard the news for the first time. It was no joke. Rather, it's a First Amendment nightmare and possibly a foreshadowing of what's to come.

Are you prepared for a future in which you hear, "Got your permit to study the Bible?"

John Goodman's Health Policy Blog

"I have glimpsed at the future of U.S. health care and I am pleasantly surprised. Instead of continuing to rise at twice the rate of growth of income, health care spending will slow dramatically. Future prices will actually be lower than they are today. Providers will bundle their services into easily-understood packages with a single fee. They will compete against each other on price and quality and the data will be transparent. Health care will be provided in a free, competitive marketplace. Third-party insurance will be relied upon only for rare, very expensive events. Medical malpractice suits will be virtually unknown."

American Vision- Christain America Debate Continues

The Christian America Debate Continues

by Gary DeMar

Every society is founded on some ultimate principle. It might be the absolutism of a single ruler, the majority-rule concept of a pure democracy where the “voice of the people is considered to be the voice of God” (vox populi, vox dei), or an oligarchy where a self-appointed group of experts claim sovereignty and control. A system of values (laws) flows from this fundamental operating principle even among regimes as diverse as Nazism, Communism, Fascism, and Socialism. Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez make the claim that their socialistic system of rule is the best form government. Adolf Hitler made the same argument for his brand of National Socialism as did Lenin and Stalin for Communism. No government ever argues that its system is evil and bad for the people.
