Ice-T defends the Second Amendment and Constitution:
Ice-T: Well, I’ll give up my gun when everybody does. Doesn’t that make sense? If there were guns here, would you want to be the only person without one?
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, anchor, Channel 4 News: So do you carry guns routinely at home?
Ice-T: Yeah, it’s legal in the United States. It’s part of our Constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that’s the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It’s to protect yourself from the police.
Anchor: And do you see any link between that and these sorts of incidents (Aurora)?
Ice-T: No. Nah. Not really really. You know what I’m saying, if somebody wants to kill people, you know, they don’t need a gun to do it.
Anchor: It makes it easier though, doesn’t it?
Ice-T: Not really. You can strap explosives on your body, they do that all the time.

Roberts ought to resign. – Eastman
“If the assumption is right, that he thinks was unconstitutional but found a way to uphold it to preserve the integrity of the court, then he really ought to resign because it proves he doesn’t have the judicial fortitude to do the job that he’s been chosen to do.” Law professor John Eastman June 29, 2012

SARAH PALIN: ‘Obama Lies, Freedom Dies’
ABCNEWS – Obama says ObamaCare is NOT a tax, Supreme Court let’s it survive as a tax:
STEPHANOPOULOS: You were against the individual mandate…
OBAMA: Yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: …during the campaign. Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don’t. How is that not a tax?
OBAMA: Well, hold on a second, George. Here — here’s what’s happening. You and I are both paying $900, on average — our families — in higher premiums because of uncompensated care. Now what I’ve said is that if you can’t afford health insurance, you certainly shouldn’t be punished for that. That’s just piling on. If, on the other hand, we’re giving tax credits, we’ve set up an exchange, you are now part of a big pool, we’ve driven down the costs, we’ve done everything we can and you actually can afford health insurance, but you’ve just decided, you know what, I want to take my chances. And then you get hit by a bus and you and I have to pay for the emergency room care, that’s…
STEPHANOPOULOS: That may be, but it’s still a tax increase.
OBAMA: No. That’s not true, George. The — for us to say that you’ve got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase.
“you can pretty much put their campaign on, on a tweet and have some characters to spare.” Obama
“you can pretty much put their campaign on, on a tweet and have some characters to spare.” – President Obama, June 12, 2012
The President is right, it doesn’t take many characters to say things like “Freedom vs Socialism, the choice is clear.” The concept of freedom has been around for centuries, while the power-hungry always search for ways to hold on to their power.
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. – Obama
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising
America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
It is a sign that the U.S. Government cannot pay its
own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing
financial assistance from foreign countries to finance
our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.Increasing America ‘s debt weakens us domestically
and internationally. Leadership means that, “the buck
stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden
of bad choices today onto the backs of our children
and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and
a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
~ U.S. Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. …equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality… servitude
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

California is where they invented Facebook – CA Gov. Jerry Brown
California Governor Jerry Brown: We’re very entrepreneurial, very innovative and people are still coming here. this is where they put in– invented Facebook. Not in Texas. Not in Arizona. Not in Manhattan. And certainly not under the — you know, the White House, Congress. This is still the wild west and we’ll prove to the rest of the country and the world that we know how to do it.
CHARLIE ROSE: Facebook was invented in Cambridge, Mass.
BROWN: Well, whatever is invented, this is where they are. You guys say — they probably might do a little bit in their laboratory, but they learn fast to get on a plane and get out to California.
OOPS.
