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 ...

The moral-political nexus

I’m still working on my next post, but this morning a friend sent me the following quote in an email that I think is well worth pondering. Fulton Sheen succinctly summarizes the connection between moral understanding and politics that is pretty much the basis for everything I do in public life. He is [...]

Congress Denying People’s Right to Petition?

There was a time when what the people in this video experienced would have had liberty loving Americans manning the ramparts. Have the Congressional leaders of the Obama faction decided to deny “the right of the people…to petition the government for a redress of grievances”? Obama promised “change”, and as I predicted what [...]

Conservatives should make 2010 the ‘Passover’ election

I hear that Rush Limbaugh is telling people that they have no choice but to drink the Republican Kool-Aid in the 2010 elections. Given the track record of the forces still in control of the Republican Party, this is tantamount to saying that we let the American republic go gently into the dark night [...]

The 9-12 March- the power elites don’t count people because to them the people don’t count

On September 12, 2009 a very large crowd gathered from all parts of the country to manifest grassroots anger against the Washington politicians who are betraying the liberty of the American people. In my lifetime I have never known such a large manifestation of public feeling to pass with so little notice or discussion [...]

In 2010-A legion of Joe Wilsons who won’t apologize

For a moment last night something unprecedented, unheard of, indeed almost unbelievable happened while Barack Obama was giving one of his televised, teleprompter specials: his audience actually heard the truth.
Of course they didn’t hear it from Obama. “A republican House member shouted, “You lie” during [alleged] President Obama’s health care speech to Congress on Wednesday.” [...]

Obama’s Eligibility- Where is the Loyal Opposition?

Now that a document has surfaced that appears to be an officially certified Kenyan birth certificate for Barack Obama, what excuse will prevent responsible officials from properly investigating and adjudging his compliance with the Constitution’s eligibility requirements? The manipulative media and others who dismiss the demand for an investigation have relied for evidence on [...]

Whistling for a Wind

According to an AP story, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Health Director with the Hawaii State Department of Health, has issued a new statement seeking to “stem a recent surge in the number of inquiries about Obama’s birthplace.” “I…have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein [...]

Congress Should Apologize Alright- for Imposing Slavery ON US.

Once again the Obama faction insults the historical heritage of the United States, and once again present day so-called Republicans (unworthy of the name) not only let them get away with it, they cravenly join in.
The Senate has now joined the House of Representatives in a vote purporting to apologize for slavery. Apparently, the [...]

Fifth Column Conservatives

Webster’s online dictionary defines the phrase “fifth column” as “a group of secret sympathizers of an enemy that engage in espionage or sabotage within defense lines or in national borders.”
This phrase has been much on my mind of late as I consider the bloodless coup d’état that is currently underway in the United States. [...]

Biden’s Gridiron Humor- Is Obama Laughing?

Today WND reports that Congressman Bill Posey is being jeered at and ridiculed by the leftist media and some of his colleagues in the US Congress. Why? He dared to propose a piece of legislation “that would require future presidential candidates to document their eligibility.” Apparently the idea that people in Congress would actually fulfill [...]
