WHY DID ROBERTS SWITCH SIDES?

More and more legal scholars are reaching the conclusion that Chief Justice John Roberts switched his vote and opinion late in the game.  An examination of Justice Kennedy’s minority opinion suggests that wording was changed at the last moment to reflect that it was a minority opinion as opposed to a majority opinion. 

The question now is, “Why?”

Perhaps it was Obama’s incessant telephone calls to the Court to try and sway them.  Maybe the IRS paid Roberts a visit.  One of the White House Czars could have threatened him with a move for impeachment.  Whatever it was, it surely must have been an overwhelming conclusion for him to make. 

As the dust settles, the Republicans are vowing to repeal ObamaCare starting July 15^th, but they have to get it past a Republican-controlled Senate and his royal highass Barack Obama himself.  The odds against this tactic being successful are 150 to 1. 

We’re now discovering that the last-minute switch left the decision rife with unanswered questions and murky conclusions.  And, the fact that the decision altered the healthcare act itself by declaring it to be a tax issue means that taxes and costs associated with the plan are going to escalate at higher percentages than what we’ve seen over the past two years, and they were at 20% to 30%. 

The sudden change in Robert’s decision created a disaster of yet-to-be determined proportions.   The end result was a piss-poor mix of legal gobble-de-gook that will give us Americans heartburn for decades to come.

SUPREME COURT RULING: UNAMERICAN

SPECIAL POST

The Supreme Court gave no effective ruling on ObamaCare.  It totally side-stepped the issue by voting it down and sustaining it, all in one breath.  They should be ashamed of themselves for perpetrating such a tragedy on America.

THE CONSPIRACY TO "GET HOLDER"

SPECIAL POST

Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States, is in charge of the Department of Justice.  The DOJ engineered the "Fast and Furious" operation that ordered border gun shops to sell illegal weapons to Mexican drug cartel operatives.  That is a fact.  The question is, who knew and when?  Did Holder participate in authorizing the operation or ordering the cover-up?  Was then White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel involved?  The President himself?  

Holder has consistently lied, spun, squirmed and flatly refused to provide House investigators with the documentation and testimony they need to get those answers.  On the eve of a House Committee vote for contempt, Holder had the audacity to show up for a negotiating session and flip the big one to the committee chair, Darell Issa.  The very next day, moments before the committee vote to send the contempt issue to the full House, Holder and Obama joined together to flip another big one by claiming Executive Privilege and again refusing to provide the information. 

Now comes the Democratic marginalization team, slamming Issa, slamming the Republicans for their "partisan" questioning... even going so far as to claim the committee Republicans are racists.  Pelosi promptly joined the chorus, underscoring that the committee vote for contempt was "not a coincidence," but an orchestrated effort by the Republicans to "get" Holder.  

Enter the NRA, urging all House members regardless of party to vote in favor of finding Holder in contempt; Holder has been a vocal hardline opponent of the NRA and American gun owners since before he took office.  Again, the whining Democrats promptly accused the NRA, Republicans and all conservatives of being part of that "vast right-wing conspiracy," identified years ago by Hillary Clinton as being anti-Americans, on a mission to destroy the Attorney General.  

Well, the Attorney General is obstructing justice, pure and simple.  No employee of the people should be obstructing justice.  Yes, we're out to get him.  We want his sorry butt out of a position where he can continued to hide and cover up for a reckless President and we want the facts.  Holder blocks those facts and the truth.  The sooner, the better.  

Sick him!  Go get him!  Hang him by his testicles until he relents.  Anything less than a full House vote for Contempt of Congress would be an insult to the American public. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

ISN'T THIS WHY WE LEFT ENGLAND?

Every time we turn around, we are faced with a multitude of local, state and Federal regulations, rules and laws with which we must comply, or pay the penalty.  Literally thousands of new laws and regulations are being enacted every year, and they are now intruding into our daily lives and our fundamental rights to the pursuit of happiness. 

No, you can't sell a big gulp drink over 16 ounces in size.  No, you can't sell a soda pop with sugar in it.  No, you can't sell ice cream in the city limits.  Yes, we can ignore the law and seize your property for commercial purposes not necessarily for the betterment of society in general.  Yes we can avoid tax rules by enacting things called "fees."  No, you can't plant a vegetable garden.  Yes, you must mow your grass and be sure to trim it as well.  No, you can't paint your house light green. 

I think we are all sick and tired of the incessant encroachment into our rights to enjoy our lives without undue and onerous interference by the United States Government or any state or local government, agency, bureau, dynasty or fiefdom. 

This zeal to regulate every aspect of our lives has transgressed to the point of being tyranny and oppression. It's well beyond the time when we should be taking back our country.

UP YOURS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, AMERICA

SPECIAL POST

Eric Holder presided over the Fast & Furious operation that was originally designed to give him and Obama the ammunition, (play on words intended,) to close down gun shops along the southern border.  It was later billed as an operation to track the sales of illegal weapons to members of the Mexican drug cartels.  An agent got killed, and another agent blew the whistle and the case wide open.  From that point forward, Holder has done everything possible to stymie any investigation into the matter. 

The allegation surfaced that Obama may have been involved and there was an immediate denial from both the White House and the Department of Justice.  Obama knew absolutely nothing about the operation, according to those denials. 

The House, determined to get at the facts, kept pressing Holder for documents and testimony.  A few thousand out of some 140,000 were delivered.  The House Committee narrowed the scope of its subpoena to fewer documents; yet, Holder continued to stonewall.  He gave conflicting testimony in Congress and, when caught, said he had forgotten. 

As the House Committee moved toward filing contempt charges against Holder, he once again refused to comply during a last-minute meeting Tuesday.  Wednesday morning, he requested from President Obama that the President exert a claim of “Executive Privilege” over the documents, thereby refusing to deliver them up on the basis that the President was protected because he was somehow involved.  In other words, first the President knew nothing, but now was involved. 

If the requested documents would exonerate them, they certainly would deliver them.  The exertion of Executive Privilege confirms to all of us that they have something big to hide and it involves the President.  This latest maneuver will delay the process until after the November elections, as I predicted would inevitably happen. 

Yes, the Committee went ahead and voted to cite Holder for contempt, and the full House is likely to quickly follow suit.  And then, according to the law as it exists, the Attorney General, (Holder), will assign a prosecuting attorney to handle the matter in the Federal Courts.  Isn’t that sweet? 

If there is any doubt in your mind about whether or not Obama should stay in office, this should erase it.  He’s a liar and has done impeachable offenses and he wants to cover those facts up.  This is his “Watergate,” and he needs to bite the dust.

SICK AND TIRED OF THE BUDGET GAMES

SPECIAL POST

You’d think we were in the budget Olympics: he who can stall the issue longer wins the gold medal.  Remember last August when the President and Congressional Democrats agreed with the Republicans that, should a viable spending plan not be in place by Thanksgiving, automatic cuts would take place?  Well, the plan didn’t materialize and… neither did the automatic cuts.  And the nation suffered a downgrade in its credit rating. 

Since that time, there has been absolutely no… zero… zilch attempt by anyone in Washington to cut spending or reduce the deficit.  In fact, the spending rate has actually increased!  Now, they’re ready to kick the same can down the same road past THIS November! 

Don’t they get our damned message?  Or, are they really as dumb as they look?  How can we possibly believe that any one of them is actually sincere about improving our nation’s financial condition? 

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of the lip service, the outright lies and the steadfast refusal to address this issue.  We simply cannot afford to play these kindergarten games any longer.  We must take steps to remove from office those in Washington who don’t have the courage to make the tough decisions and to be Americans. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

OBAMA’S IMMIGRATION DECISION: IMPEACH THE S.O.B.?

I actually think that the concept has some merit, but I need to study it further.  So, let’s set aside the decision by Obama to use an Executive Order to allow certain children of illegal immigrants to stay here and to obtain work permits; I won’t argue that until I can see the details. 

Obama by his own statements has previously said that he does not have the authority to act on the immigration issue; it must come from Congress. Yet, here we are with the President of the United States violating what he admittedly knows to be the law.  He doesn’t have the authority to make these decisions, only Congress does.  He has usurped the power of Congress. 

There are lots of speculations going on about why he did it, but they all get back to the premise that he did it for political reasons; he wanted to gain the American Latino vote for November.  Whether or not you believe that, he is charged with leaking secret intelligence to the public in order to gain a political advantage… to make him look like John Wayne or Ronald Reagan to the common folk.  Of course, we know that he is no John Wayne or Ronald Reagan. 

I personally am not going to speculate as to why he did it.  We all know that he is one arrogant, self-centered Marxist President and the answers probably lie within an analysis of that psyche.  What we do know is that he has no power, Executive Privilege or otherwise, to make that decision and to issue that order.  But, he has openly flipped the bird to the law, the Constitution and to us in making this decision, and he has deprived us of the right to lobby our Congressional delegations as to our positions on the issue, thereby denying us the right to rule our own country. 

In short, this move smacks of the use arrogant dictatorial power.  We removed Nixon for this breach of trust and others as well.  Obama must also be impeached. 

Enough is enough, and if the House of Representatives doesn’t have the fortitude to file articles of impeachment against Obama, they need to also be removed. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

THE SYRIAN DILEMMA

SPECIAL POST

It is now confirmed that Russia has been supplying Syrian forces with military gear and that Russian helicopters capable of launching platform attacks against hordes of Syrian rebels are on their way to the civil war-torn country.  Russia, being warned by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to stop this activity, has basically flipped the bird at the United States.  

Well, what would you expect?  We have a President who wants to release all Gitmo prisoners.  We have a President who is flubbing the situation with Iran and North Korea and who s firmly in the grip of left-wing liberal pacifists.  When you examine the Presidency from a Syrian or Russian viewpoint, we have no leadership.  Russia wouldn't dare think about being so flippant, (slight play on words intended), if Reagan were at our helm. 

The quandary now arises.  Obama doesn't dare enter the fracas, even under the guise of U.N. or NATO cover, because doing so risks a hard-nosed confrontation with Putin, and Obama is not in the league of leaders who can deal effectively with the Putins of the world.  And, of course, such a confrontation if attempted could well lead to World War III.  

It is possible that those being slaughtered in Syria will eventually cave in to the Syrian regime and that will be the end of that.  On the other hand, it is also possible that things could escalate and, by December 21st, the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world could come true.  One thing is, however, certain: should we engage in armed conflict in Syria, George Bush will NOT be to blame.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE PATRIOTS GONE?

SPECIAL POST

Harry S. Truman.  Dwight D. Eisenhower.  Ronald W. Reagan.  George S. Patton.  Abraham Lincoln.  Daniel Boone.  Patrick Henry.  There is a long list of great and patriotic Americans who have served this country in the past, too long to list here.  To the one, they have rallied to the cause of American democracy time and time again, waving the flag and standing up for the ideals upon which our nation was built. 

Where are they now?  Who in today’s America can we point to as being worthy of being mentioned in the same paragraph as those above?  Conservatives would be quick to mention Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, but even these “giants” of conservatism do not have the stature I’m talking about.  I’m talking about the kind of person who would readily give up their wealth and health to further the causes of the country. 

Where are they? Where are those who would epitomize the word, "True American Patriot?'

The Lord knows that we desperately need that true American patriot to lead us out of this horrible mess we have allowed to fester around us.  We need someone who has the guts and the fortitude to take the political risks associated with telling both parties to quit their self-serving bickering and to get on with the business of running the country, someone who is willing to stand up and tell the Obama’s of the world to start packing and to apply the rules of treason to those who seek to sell our secrets and subvert our democracy. 

Why is everyone so afraid to take on the role, to shed the shackles of “political correctness” and to find a common course toward restoring America and taking back our ship of state from those who are systematically destroying it? 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

MORE DISGUSTING OBAMA NEWS

The Washington Times is reporting that “On the evening of January 11, 1996, while Mitt Romney was in the final years of his run as the head of Bain Capital, Barack Obama formally joined the New Party, which was deeply hostile to the mainstream of the Democratic Party and even to American capitalism. In 2008, candidate Obama deceived the American public about his potentially damaging tie to this third party. The issue remains as fresh as today’s headlines, as Romney argues that Obama is trying to move the United States toward European-style social democracy, which was precisely the New Party’s goal. http://times247.com/articles/obama-was-member-of-socialist-new-party-docs-prove

The Washington Times also reports that a GSA contractor receiving favorable treatment has been “bundling” over $500,000 in campaign contributions for Obama.  http://times247.com/articles/gsa-contract-recipient-bundles-big-bucks-for-obama

 

Newsmax is reporting “an accelerating series of leaks of classified information all have two things in common: They directly endanger national security, and the stories reporting on them paint President Obama as a hero.”  “News reports on Tuesday disclosed that the FBI is probing the leaking of information about a classified U.S. cyber-attack program aimed at Iran’s nuclear facilities, but a close look at recent developments uncovers a broad and disturbing pattern of leaks of some of the nation’s most guarded secrets by the Obama administration.”  http://www.newsmax.com/RonaldKessler/al-Qaida-classified-leaks-Pakistan/2012/06/07/id/441615?s=al&promo_code=F20A-1

What this all means should be obvious: We have a less-than-desirable person in the White House.

PUBLIC UNIONS GET WHAT THEY DESERVE

SPECIAL POST

America's unions have often done an excellent job of standing up for the working stiff against oppressive tactics of big business.  They have been responsible for the creation of a fair wage and the provision of vacation and sick pay.  Unfortunately, they didn't stop there.  

Unions became corrupt.  They funneled millions of dollars into organized crime syndicates.  They bullied and coerced business into agreeing to pay exorbitant wages and benefits in order to fill their coffers with dues money.  Then, they turned their sights on local, state and national governments; the next thing we Americans knew was that we were literally being held hostage by the unions.  

All of us, you and I included, are Americans.  We put our country first.  When the unions refused to help Governor Walker resolve a horrible economic crisis, they showed the rest of us that they are not Americans.  Instead of coming to the table and working with Walker's administration to find a reasonable solution, they threw down the gauntlet and dared Walker to do something about it.  

Even with Walker's recall victory, the unions are failing to recognize where they went wrong.  They are blaming everyone and everything else for their loss.  But, we Americans can stand tall and proud because we had the fortitude and will to do what was right in Wisconsin.  It didn't have to be that way; the unions should have been part of the solution instead of insisting on being the problem.

THE POTENTATE’S “KILL” LIST

SPECIAL POST

The revelation that Barack Hussein Obama has his own “enemies” list and that he has authorized the military to kill those on it is disturbing to any American with a sense of democratic justice.  Is this arrogant attitude not reminiscent of Batista, Stalin, and Hitler or of his namesake… Hussein?  The fact that he assumes the position that he, and only he, has the power to decide who lives and who dies…. Just what does that really sound like to you? 

Would the word be psychopathic? 

We know for a fact that several Middle Eastern drone attacks by the U.S. killed innocent civilians and left the intended target unscathed.  You can almost hear Obama in the background in a conversation that goes like this:  “Are you sure it’s him?  “Well, he looks like he could be him.”  “Go ahead, kill the infidel.”  “Oh, damn!  We got Donald Trump by mistake!”

In this country, we may all well know that a man is guilty of murder, but we give him a fair trial anyway.  We Americans have always taken pride in the fact that even a guilty man is entitled to a fair trial, with justice to be meted out by a Judge charged with the authority and the power to pronounce judgment.  Now, however, it seems to me that we have lowered ourselves into the same gutter where terrorists crawl. 

Who appointed this mortal to be God, jury, judge and assassin?  Is Obama not literally just one step away from knocking off Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck? 

As a country founded upon the cloth, how can we justify to ourselves allowing such a despot to live among us, let alone to allow him to be our nation’s leader?  Just how can we sleep at night? 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

THE MEDIA STOOGES

Here we go again… Another “statistic” put out by the Obama administration and met with ecstatic glee by the Democrats, has be “revised,” but no one is talking about it.  Yes, unemployment figures for the last two months have been revised upward.  This favorite trick of this Administration, to lie and change the facts later when no one is looking, is getting awfully old. 

What about Solyndra?  Why don’t we hear any more about the virtually bankrupt company that got over $500 million in federal loan guarantees and then did go bankrupt after donating to Obama’s campaign?  What about First Solar, which got $3 billion in loan guarantees from the Obama goons and is ready to go under? Why doesn’t the media cover these things? 

Who is the liar, the guy who tells it in the first place, the media which knowingly repeats it, or both? 

Why is no one talking about the government money being spent on political ads to promote ObamaCare?  Why doesn’t somebody challenge Obama when he says he’s more tight-fisted than any President in the last 60 years? 

Freedom of the Press does not convey the right to lie and misrepresent the truth to the American public.  And the only way to stop this is to quit watching it, stop reading it, and to boycott the advertisers who support it. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
