Kagan also disqualified by ignorance of Ninth Amendment

Speaking of unalienable rights, the GOP's handling of the Kagan nomination thus far offers new evidence that the Party's current leadership remains obtusely indifferent to the tragic watershed Kagan's nomination represents for the American republic.  In response to a question from Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, she refused to support the fundamental notion that all people have unalienable rights.  With the deceitful pseudo-cleverness now characteristic of those hostile to the principles of the Constitution, she pretended that as a Supreme Court justice she would be obliged to deal only with the rights enumerated in the Constitution. Of course this seemingly astute maneuver simply confirms her incompetent or willful ignorance of the Constitution's provisions.  The ninth amendment clearly states that   "the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the ...

Report from the road

Since last Wednesday I've been traveling, mainly to attend and speak to a Faith and Liberty conference in Denver, CO over the weekend.  Hence the hiatus in postings. Yesterday I also had the great privilege and satisfaction of meeting Walter Hoye, the inspiring pro-life champion from California, and Bishop Porter one of the stalwart and outspoken Christian leaders of efforts in Colorado to restore respect for the God-given rights family and innocent life. We all participated in a press conference in support of Amendment 62, through which the people of Colorado will have the chance to affirm the truth that human offspring are persons not property. To learn more, visit the Personhood Colorado website.  I would urge not only pro-lifers, but all people who care about our preserving our unalienable rights and the liberty we derive from them, to support this cause in any way you can.  So far, this is the ...

What was Shirley Sherrod’s real offense?

They say that in war truth is the first casualty. If so, the experience of Shirley Sherrod points to the potentially tragic truth about America's present political situation. On Monday night Fox news reported the story of an episode in which, as a USDA official "she appeared to deny a farmer help because he was white…." In fact, the remarks were only part of a seemingly edifying account of how she felt and overcame the impulse of racial resentment so that "working with him helped me to see that it wasn't just a black and white issue." Andrew Breitbart's anti-socialist website Biggovernment.com began the sequence of events that reportedly led a USDA deputy undersecretary to inform Sherrod that "the White House wanted her to resign... They called me twice… the last time they asked me to pull over the side of the road and submit my resignation on ...

Why Obama is America’s most (not post-) racial politician

I just read a piece by Dick Morris, the former high level Bill Clinton operative now accepted as a  politically savvy "conservative" pundit. In "The End of the Post-racial Presidency" he appears to lament the fact the "Obama is letting his supporters strip away his image of a post-racial president by their increasingly racial rhetoric and his support for radical black activists." Then he joins the pack of GOP partisans that has gleefully played up "Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to prosecute the new Black Panther members so obviously guilty of racial intimidation at the Philadelphia polling places in 2008." After alluding to Obama's pathetic effort to portray as racists people demanding enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, he concludes that Obama "is increasingly taking sides in the old racial debates, reigniting them and lending new fuel to their flames. He is…retreating into the racial cocoon of a supportive ...

U.S. power elite demands rejection of Creator God?

Back in 2008 I went to Des Moines, Iowa to participate in the debate among candidates for the Republican presidential nomination sponsored by the Des Moines Register. During a radio interview I was doing in that context, the interviewer made a remark (while we were chatting off air, as I recall) that came back to me today as I read Professor Angelo Codevilla's eye-opening piece, America's Ruling Class and the Perils of Revolution.  The interviewer bluntly observed that given my commitment to God and liberty, the GOP leadership must look upon me as a traitor to my class. I think there are fewer people today than at the time who would fail to understand what he meant. Thanks to Professor Codevilla's perspicacious piece, there will soon be fewer still. (I realize that 'perspicacious' is one of those polysyllabic words the "dumb 'em down" stylists say we should avoid, but ...

Throw the Dems out- a sequel

For today's article at WorldNetDaily I chose to share with WND's larger audience the piece I posted here on Monday about what I think needs to be the first objective in the November election for voters anxious to preserve constitutional liberty in the United States. In it I say bluntly that the very best outcome would be to vote all the Democrats out. I also make clear that handing the Republicans an overwhelming majority will not by itself guarantee the failure of those who seek to overthrow the U.S. Constitution. It will simply put the GOP on the spot with no excuse for failing unequivocally to reject the socialist coup the Obama faction is determined to carry out. People who insist on believing that the socialists and so-called liberals in the Democrat Party are alone responsible for the threat to American liberty may misunderstand what I have written ...

'Despicable him', aka NASA's fractured fairy tale

DAILY BRIEFS #5 I just saw an AP report that "The White House is contradicting the NASA administrator's claim that...Obama assigned him to reach out to Muslims on science matters....White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that such activities are not among Bolden's assigned tasks.  He said administration officials have spoken with NASA about the matter." Okay.  What are the odds that a sane official would make up such a story?  If Charles Bolden fabricated or imagined such an assignment, a psychiatric evaluation would seem to be in order.  So what's easier to believe, that the NASA Administrator has been taken over by Islamophilic aliens, or that the Obamanauts are ( dare we say it) lying? If they are telling the truth, we should expect to get prompt word of Bolden's resignation;  or at the very least, of his long planned departure for a much needed rest. If they're not telling the truth ...

Can Lt. Col. Lakin find justice in the military?

For the moment it appears that officials in the military justice system intend to show no more respect for their sworn duty to the United States Constitution than those in the civilian judiciary have thus far evinced. The investigating officer in charge of the Article 32 hearing in the case of Lt. Col. Terry [...]

Obama’s social security number-another little anomaly

For years now TV shows that focus on criminal investigation have been among the sturdiest view getters in the business. In their effort to be ‘realistic’ these shows reflect what has become the routine application of scientific techniques to crime detection. Ironically, the scientific approach that is now required for realism was first [...]

Why Lt. Col. Lakin is not mistaken

This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series Obama's constitutional eligibility

Socrates famously said that an unexamined life is not worth living. However that may be, there’s new proof everyday that a critically unexamined so-called news report is not worth reading.
A case in point: A slyly derogatory article at foxnews.com purporting to discuss the prospects of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin’s effort to obtain, by means of [...]

The eligibility case Obama wants no one to hear

This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series Obama's constitutional eligibility

Sec. 64. But what reason can hence advance this care of the parents due to their off-spring into an absolute arbitrary dominion of the father, whose power reaches no farther, than by such a discipline, as he finds most effectual, to give such strength and health to their bodies, such vigour and rectitude to their [...]

Obama gives reason to question his legitimacy

This entry is part 4 of 6 in the series Obama's constitutional eligibility

WASHINGTON (March 30, 2010)–President Barack Obama said in an interview broadcast Tuesday that he believes the Tea Party is built around a “core group” of people who question whether he is a U.S. citizen and believe he is a socialist,….

Speaking with purposefully deceitful inaccuracy, Barack Obama takes aim in this NBC interview at the participants [...]

Obama’s eligibility: the true issue

This entry is part 3 of 6 in the series Obama's constitutional eligibility

Every day efforts intensify to intimidate or discourage Americans who rightly insist that Barack Obama properly document his constitutional eligibility to hold the office of President of the United States. It has even spilled into the political arena. In Arizona John McCain apparently believes that the mad stream media’s scurrilous slanders against such [...]

Does elite refuse to clear Obama eligibility doubts so as to exploit “affirmative action” resentment?

This entry is part 2 of 6 in the series Obama's constitutional eligibility

Last night I posted as the ‘featured link’ on this site a link to what purports to be a 2004 article, from the online archives of a Kenyan newspaper, about the withdrawal of Obama’s original Republican opponent in the 2004 race for the U.S. Senate in Illinois. What is of interest for present purposes [...]

Obama’s Eligibility- Will courage or cowardice prevail?

This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series Obama's constitutional eligibility

If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify.” (Alexander [...]

Health care-funding the revolt to freedom

This entry is part 4 of 4 in the series Revolt to freedom

Judging by some of the responses I’ve received to the previous posts in this health care series, I think it’s important to make it clear that the illustrative features I talked about in my last post are not suggested components of some government run health care scheme. I oppose the government takeover of the health [...]
