Administration Again Decides To Not Enforce The Law...

Every politician has to swear in their oath of office to uphold the laws of the land. But President Obama and Eric Holder apparently do not believe they need to do so. They seem to think they can pick and choose which laws to enforce. And that is not only wrong, but is also grounds for impeachment - violation of aoth of office.

The Obama Administration will no longer defend legislation in court banning same-sex couples from receiving military and veterans benefits. Although Congress, in a bi-partisan manner passed a law banning benefits to same-sex couples in DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), and a U.S. President signed it into law, the Obama administration is not going to abide by it.

Gee, it must be nice to be above the law, and get to choose which ones you will obey. I learned in school that such is called ANARCHY.

Hey, Holder, here's how Democracy works -- Congress passes laws, the Department of Justice enforces them. If the DOJ thinks they are unconstitutional, you take it to the courts to decide. YOU do not arbitrarily decide.

What is it with these liberal clowns who think they can be King, and bypass Congress, and now bypass the courts?

Just one more reason to throw those corrupt bums out to the curb in November. As if we needed another reason.

The First Amendment - And What Many Are Not Comprehending...

To hear the folks on the left talk, you would think the First Amendment applies only to churches. That is the excuse they use for trying to force religious organizations  to adopt contraception. Churches exempt, but church organizations are not.

Apparently they do not comprehend simple English, since the First Amendment never even mentions churches. What it does mention is religious freedom without government interference.

You see, many people have forgotten what the Bill of Rights was written for. It was to acknowledge certain God-given rights that each person has. In other words, they are the rights of INDIVUDUALS. Every INDIVIDUAL has each of the rights in the Bill of Rights.

Therefore, when the First Amendment says Congress shall make no law that infringes on religious freedom, that means the religious freedom of each and every individual. Each person has a right to live their conscience without government interference. Not just churches. It applies to the Catholic Church, and it applies to the individual Protestant living next door.

But the progressive liberals want to diminish and eventually destroy the Constitution - Pelosi has even said it does not matter anymore. The Constitution gets in the way of the liberal agenda. And this ploy by the Obama administration is designed to minimize the reach and effect of the first and most important right we have. They are trying to limit the First Amendment only to churches, rather than to the populace and the individual.

What's next - limiting the right to bear arms to only law enforcement and military? Or the right to property being limited only to the wealthy? Or maybe the right to free speech will be limited to only the liberal press.

No, the Bill of Rights are the rights of INDIVDUALS. Every individual. So when the administration forces Joe Blow, and individual Catholic, to provide contraception for his employees, they are violating Joe's First Amendment rights. Joe is not a church. But Joe has the same rights as the church!

If you do not want to see your rights being watered down and taken away by those with a socialist agenda, don't just sit there reading this. Pass it on. Get up and call your Senators and Representatives and remind them that the Bill of Rights are the rights of INDIVIDUALS, not just churches.

DO something to stand and be counted, or suffer the loss of your rights and freedoms. Once gone, they cannot be regained without an armed and violent revolution, because the socialists will never voluntarily give them back.

So, let's not lose them.

Now HuffPost Avoids The Truth...

Huffington Post is on a roll today. In their latest story about the Westboro Baptist Church picketing Whitney Houston's funeral they write, "...members of the right-wing Christian group, known for its strong anti-gay stance, are planning to stage a protest at the pop diva's private memorial, set for this weekend in her hometown of Newark, N.J."

Here is where HuffPost is once again spinning the truth until it no longer resembles any truth --- no Christian on planet Earth would label any member of the Westboro Baptist Church as Christian.

To be a Christian, one must follow the tenets of Christ (hence the name, HuffPost!). The members of the WBC preach hatred, not love. Their signs say "GOD HATES GAYS", GOD HATES SOLDIERS" etc. All they preach is hatred, and they practice it even more than they preach it. That is the opposite of Christianity.

To call the Westboro Baptist Church a "Christian group" is akin to calling Media Matters a conservative think tank.

But then, we have come to expect lies, distortions and deceit from Huffington Post and AOL.

HuffPost Upset Over Truth...

Huffington Post seems to be quite upset that Fox Business News personality Eric Bolling said Democrat Representative Maxine Waters, aka "The Nutcase", should "step away from the crack pipe." Bolling went on to say he was kidding, of course.

But here's the nub - Bolling made that statement after Waters, on camera and in front of an audience, went on a hateful rant, literally screaming that all "Republicans are Demons" and are unAmerican and should "never be allowed to walk the halls of Congress". Her insane rant went on for several minutes. I have watched insane people act with more aplomb and civility than this nutcase.

It might be worth noting that Waters has found herself on the wrong end of an ethics investigation - by her own party - and has often gone off the deep end in her hateful, bigoted rants against Republicans and white people.

So, while Bolling may have only been kidding, I'm not so sure he didn't hit the nail on the head. If she is not on crack, she certainly acts like it.

In either case, there is no place in Congress for such a hateful, bigoted, and apparently crazy person. Just my opinion. And I am not "kidding."

The Secret To A Happy Life...

I have published this in the past, both here on the blog, and in some of my books. It is perhaps the most important real-life experience I have ever had, and I feel obligated to share it periodically.

Actually, it's not really a secret - it simply goes unnoticed. So, take notice!

The most valuable things in life, such as love, happiness, and respect, are what you might call "enigmas". They are not what they seem. Such things cannot be gathered, chased, or taken. They cannot be held. In order to have such things, you must give them away!

You heard that right. If you want to be loved, you must first give love. If you want happiness, you must first give it away. If you doubt this, consider the following:

I was really in the dumps. A recent divorce and other disasters had me ready to give up. It seemed that happiness was not in the cards. While feeling sorry for myself, I stopped into a coffee shop to drown my sorrow in 100 proof caffeine.

A young girl who could not have been more than 16 waited on me. She was visibly upset, and I could see she had been crying. I asked another waitress what the problem was, and was informed that the girl's boyfriend had broken her young heart. I paid for my coffee and left.

Within 30 minutes, I returned with a single rose, handed it to the girl with the broken heart, smiled, then turned and left. As I reached the door, I turned and saw that she was smiling, and bouncing over to another table where an old man sat, alone. There was a spark of renewed happiness in her, and strangely enough, in spite of all my own troubles, I, too, was feeling happier for having given happiness to another. But my happiness soon faded as I watched her give that rose to that old man. I felt "used".

A few days later I returned to that coffee shop. The girl bounced over to me, all smiles and bubbling over with apparent joy. I told her that I was happy to be able to make some small difference in her mood that day, but was disappointed that she so readily gave away my gift. She smiled sweetly, grabbed my hand gently, and whispered, "Don't you know? You should, because I learned it from you. Happiness spreads when you give it away. You gave me the rose, and with it, happiness. I saw that lonely old man who had lost his wife last fall, and gave the rose to him, so that he, too, might share in the happiness. In giving him the rose, I found happiness a second time that day. And he returned next morning to say he gave the rose to a lady in the complex he lives in, and they are now spending time together. And that made me happy a third time. So, you see, the more happiness you give away, the more you have. I thought you knew!"

Thanks to the wisdom of that little 16 year-old girl, I have not had too many days without finding some happiness. All I have to do is give some away...

It works! And it's easy. Try it.

The REAL Reason The Left Insists On Increasing The Debt & Deficit

The administration keeps trying to convince us that we must spend more in order to fix the economy. Anyone who made it through pre-school knows you cannot borrow and spend your way to prosperity. So let's brush all the BS and liberal hype aside and try to determine the real reason they insist so strongly on spending us into oblivion, where Obama had added over $5 TRILLION in debt in just his first term (and, hopefully, his last).

In order to understand many things, it is necessary to start at the end rather than the beginning. It's like planning a vacation. First you determine WHERE you want to end up, and work backward from there. For instance, let's say you live in New York and want to be in San Diego in 6 days, driving there. So you start from the destination, San Diego. Assuming you know the approximate number of miles you can drive in a day, you then figure out where you have to be on Day 5 in order to reach San Diego on Day 6. Then you must figure where you must be on Day 4 in order to be in the Day 5 location on Day 5. And so on.

Understanding what the liberals are doing is similar - you must start from where they want to be, then move backward to understand why they do what they do. By and large, liberals - and especially progressives - want to end up with a socialist form of government in which the government has the power to rule its citizens (which is the opposite of what America was founded to be). And they understand the best way to accomplish that is to make the majority of citizens DEPENDENT upon government, much like a drug addict depends upon his dealer.

This means liberals want to create a state of dependency. But that cannot be accomplished unless and until the government can provide the entitlements the citizens would be addicted to. This means they must create entitlements, which also means they must have the money to pay for them.

Where to get that money? From those who have money - tax the rich. This is the mantra you constantly hear from those on the left, and now you know why - they need the money to create and pay for entitlements that will addict the populace so that they can be easily manipulated and controlled. Are you getting the picture?

But all of this, from start to finish, requires heavy taxation. But people oppose higher taxes. What to do?

Well, briefly put, liberals spend every dime, then borrow more and more until we are so far in debt that the only course of action is to increase taxes. The people will accept higher taxes in order to pay the debt because their entitlements are threatened if the debt is not paid - see what is going on in Greece to see how that works. If the Greek government were to tell the rioters that they can keep their entitlements but will have to force "the rich" pay more taxes, the riots would cease. But it would not stop at taxing the rich, because even the rich do not have that much money.

In order for progressivee liberals like Obama, Reid & Pelosi to establish the socialist state in America, they must first bankrupt the capitalist state, to "prove" that capitalism does not work. That's like breaking a marathon runner's leg in order to prove he can't win a marathon. He COULD have if he had not been sabotaged.

Obama is sabotaging capitalism, to prove it does not work. People will lose a lot, and will clamor for the government to "fix" things. And then the government will say, "OK, we can fix this, but you will have to relinquish your own power and give it to government. Only then can we "protect" you. And socialism will rule the day in America.

That is how it was done during the French revolution. And the Russian revolution. And in every nation that subjugated its citizens with socialism.

And in every case, socialism failed because it simply cannot work. You can re-read my alternate ending to the parable of The Little Red Hen, published on this blog just the other day.

So, progressive liberals insist on increasing spending and debt because they need to break the back of capitalism. They need to bankrupt America in order to, as Obama once said, "fundamentally transform America."

If unsure what he meant, look up the definition of "fundamental". That will tell you everything you need to know about him.
