Kagan Declines to say government has no power to tell Americans what to eat!

When asked to state whether the United States Constitution allows the Federal Government to mandate that people consume certain foods every day, Kagan would not say it did not. So much for the concept of “enumerated powers,” “limited government,” and the entire Constitution. Kagan has obviously no interest in the Constitution itself, merely her own power. What a disgrace to the concept of a Justice. Her view is judging by whim, not law.

Fascism at its best. Despots, tyrants, marxists, socialists and other dictators would love a woman who believed there was nothing the government couldn’t do – from ignoring the First Amendment to telling you what to eat.

Police taser 86-year-old grandma while in her bed!

From the police brutality and unbelievably stupid tax-trough feeder police file, police tasered an 86 year old grandma who was on oxygen and in a hospital bed.

The ten thugs, err police officers, entered her room and chief thug, defendant police officer Thomas Duran, stated the 86 year old “took a more aggressive posture in her bed,” and ordered her Tased.  El Reno police unions will no doubt protect the thugs, but they should be fired, and tried by the prosecutor.

No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. Christopher Dodd on the Financial Overhaul bill

“No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. But we believe we’ve done something that has been needed for a long time.”  Democrat Senator Christopher Dodd on the Financial Overhaul bill, June 25, 2010

Let’s get this straight.  It is “a great moment,” he is “proud to have been here,” he’s “done something that has been needed for a long time,” BUT NO ONE WILL KNOW HOW IT WORKS UNTIL IT IS IN PLACE.

What were the voters of Connecticut thinking when the elected and re-elected a clown like Senator Dodd?

Did anyone actually READ THE BILL?  After “20 messy, mind-numbing exhaustive hours” it certainly seems unlikely.

This from Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, tax cheat, Christopher Dodd, mortgage fraudster, and Barney Frank, tax cheat.   So, we’re letting people who cheated on their taxes regulate the rest of us.  No wonder things are bad.

Congressman Etheridge goes crazy and assaults student!

Democrat Congressman Bob Etheridge attacked a college student on a Washington street, here is the video:

While most people would be charged with assault and battery, one wonders how U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge will get off.

And the Washington Post calls this a “hug“!  Now, if the Washington Post wanted to have any journalistic integrity, they would call it what it is instead of bending over backwards to try and protect this thug.  The Washington Post long ago lost any ability to be independent and is stuck in the “protect those in power” at any cost mindset.  A disgrace to a paper that in the past had some journalists working there instead of PR flacks.

What are the people of North Carolina thinking electing scum like Bob Etheridge to Congress?

Update:  Bob Etheridge has now issued a statement:

Washington, DC, Jun 14 – U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) released the following statement on the viral video which appeared on the internet today: “I have seen the video posted on several blogs.  I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved.  Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect. No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not justify a poor response.  I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse.” Rep. Bob Etheridge (NC-02)

“I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse.”  Rep Etheridge, does “civil public discourse” include attacking people?  Etheridge is a joke.

Helen Thomas tells Jews to go back to Germany

Helen Thomas tells Jews to go back to Germany. Once Helen Thomas, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barack Obama and the rest of Congress and the administration return to the native lands of their forefathers, then they can bring this up. After all, if you go back far enough no one is from the United States. If you only go back 500 years, well, everyone knows the history. How long has there been a Jewish presence in Israel? 4000 years or more?

Helen Thomas, racist and anti-semite.

Helen Thomas says: “Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine. Remember, these people are occupied and it’s their land. Not Germany. Not Poland.” When asked what the Jews should do, Thomas said “They go home. Poland. Germany. And America and everywhere else.”

California College Offers Scholarship to Illegal Immigrants

California College Offers Scholarship to Illegal Immigrants (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/28/calif-college-offers-scholarship-to-illegals/)

A public community college in California has set up a $2500 scholarship fund for immigrant students — including illegal immigrants. Next they’ll be offering scholarships for other criminals.

Scholarships for LEGAL citizens and immigrants is great.  Lawbreakers, not really.

Red Cross supports terrorists – Taliban, Hamas, Darfur

CNN reports that “the International Committee of the Red Cross is defending its practice of providing medical training and basic medical supplies to the Taliban in Afghanistan.”  In other words, the Red Cross is supporting the terrorists in Afghanistan – for four years!  The Red Cross also states “it has provided similar training in Darfur, Sudan and to Hamas members in Gaza.”  So the Red Cross supports terrorists in Sudan, Hamas, and racist genocide in Darfur.  What a wonderful illustration of the problems with the Red Cross.

As if it makes it all okay, the Red Cross says it is not “training the Taliban in surgical skills; the focus [is] on stabilizing those injured.”   Stabilizing injured terrorists makes it okay for the Red Cross – stabilizing terrorists so they can then come back and attack again.

When the Red Cross chooses to support individuals that intentionally try to kill innocent people, they are no longer neutral, the Red Cross has picked a side, the side of killers.

What a wonderful mission the Red Cross has undertaken, it is sick to help people who are intentionally out to kill innocent civilians. No one who values freedom should send any financial support to an organization like the Red Cross that supports a terrorist organization bent on violence and destroying the liberty of free people through terror.

Holder should appoint Special Prosecutor for Sestak Job Offer

CNN’s John King said to Axelrod that a job offer for Rep. Seststak “marches up into the gray area, perhaps into the red area of a felony. It is a felony to induce somebody by offering them a job.”  Sestak has alleged on multiple occasions this year that he was offered a job to refrain from running.  Gibbs has acknowledged that such conversations have taken place (“Lawyers in the White House and others have looked into conversations that were had with Congressman Sestak, and nothing inappropriate happened.”  and”Whatever conversations have been had are not problematic.”  On CBS’ “Face the Nation” Gibbs said, “I’m not going to get further into what the conversations were. People who looked into them assure me they weren’t inappropriate in any way.”).

The offer would appear to violate federal criminal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 600, which prohibits promising a government position “as consideration, favor, or reward for any political activity” or “in connection with any primary election or political convention or caucus held to select candidates for any political office.”  Likewise 18 USC 595 prohibits a federal official from interfering with the nomination or election for office and Section 18 USC 211 says that you can’t accept anything of value in return for hiring somebody in the Federal government.

Either the Democrat candidate for the Senate has lied multiple times or a felony has taken place.  One would think that the media would care to investigate and a Special Prosecutor should be appointed.

Axelrod replied to CNN’s King that “If such things happened they would constitute a serious breach of the law, and when the allegations were looked into there is no evidence of such a thing.”  And when Ted Bundy was asked to look in the killings of which he was accused, he found that there was no evidence that he had been involved.  Thankfully other people investigated Bundy.  We don’t give the people accused of a crime the responsibility and authority to investigate the allegations themselves.  Hence the Special Prosecutor.

Holder Criticizes Arizona Immigration Law That He Has Not Read

Holder Criticizes Arizona Immigration Law That He Has Not Read:

“I’ve just expressed concerns on the basis of what I’ve heard about the law. But I’m not in a position to say at this point, not having read the law, not having had the chance to interact with people are doing the review, exactly what my position is,” Eric Holder before the House Judiciary Committee, May 13, 2010.

Kind of reminiscent of Nancy Pelosi stating that “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it“.

One has to wonder about the lack of intelligence of these people who are being sent to Washington and how uninformed about the law.  It is apparent they are completely ignorant when it comes to the Constitution and the law.
