Subverting the Constitution
American Thinker, by Thomas Lifson

Original Article

Posted By:magnante, 12/31/2012 10:26:42 AM

Another line is being crossed in the campaign to fundamentally change America. The Left has long regarded the American Constitution as an obstacle to the sort of fundamental change it desires, and now the seeds of delegitimizing the Constitution itself are being planted by powerful members of the progressive establishment. Louis Michael Seidman, Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Constitutional Law at Georgetown University, is no fringe figure. He is a pillar of the left wing legal establishment, graduate of Harvard Law, former clerk for Thurgood Marshall, and notable figure in the Leftist "critical legal theory" movement.

What Constitution? It used to allow prayer in schools, and now forbids it. The Constitution as originally created no longer exists thanks to the Atheist Communist Lawyers´ Union (ACLU.)

And then there is this:

"Americans value their children, their safety, and the right to pursue their dreams without fear -- and those "common values" trump the rights set forth in the U.S. Constitution, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said last Friday in a speech at a Washington, D.C., elementary school.

It was my belief that the Bill of Rights expresses our common values. But our Secretary of Education says I´m wrong.

It is interesting that for the radical left, the tactic is to ridicule the Constitution rather than amend it. This is because the things that they want to do- confiscate guns, regulate religious expression, penalize politically incorrect speech- would never gain support through the established legal process.

The vast majority of so-called law professors, lawyers and judges for the past decades have been educated and indoctinated in karl marx schools of law. Therfore, they feel it is their duty to do away with the U. S. Constitution and screw the American People. The same goes for the vast majority of so-called educators and journolists.

Dittos #6, #7, and #9. This could be avoided, however, if the so-called Conservative Justices on the Supreme Court took the cases where the Left is running rough-shod over the Constitution. Of course it might be a 4-5 vote since we don´t really know what Roberts would do. Kennedy is suspect, too, but he has made some statements during the Obama administration that gives me hope. Who would have thought that Roberts couldn´t be counted on?

I´m sure professor Seidman is a certifiable genius
and fully capable of running the US government,
the most powerful force the world has ever seen,
without any sort of controlling guide, limit, or law.

The question is
as always...
Will his grandson be?
When he is finished
dispensing his great wisdom
to us mere mortals,
to what angel does he think
he will pass the reins
of completely unlimited government?

It ain´t just prayer, #3, it´s any religious expression. The First Amendment has been radically changed from, "Congress shall make no law... prohibiting the free exercise of religion" to add the words "EXCEPT on public property."

If it takes a new Constitutional Convention, that Satanic "exemption" must be reversed to the original intent that prevailed Constitutionally for 200 years before Satan´s law firm, the ACLU, hoodwinked the US Suprmeme Court into denying to individual citizens that long-settled Liberty granted to us in the Bill of Rights.

What Americans say in public about same-sex marriage isn´t necessarily a good barometer of public opinion, because, if we´re going to be honest, there´s a huge discrepancy between the opinions that Americans express in polls and the opinions they express at the polls.(snip)It´s important for Americans to understand that the same-sex marriage campaign is about the disenfranchisement of dissenters, not empowerment. The protests, the social media memes, the entire agenda is about demonizing opponents of same-sex marriage

   

 

  


 
Definition Of Marriage;
What Can We Learn From Islam?
American Thinker, by Nonie Darwish    Original Article

Before America embarks on changing the concept of marriage, I hope they will at least agree on examining cultures that do not define marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman. In their eagerness to achieve their goals, the pro gay marriage enthusiasts are marching towards what they perceive as progress and modernity while ignoring lessons from other cultures, history, basic human nature and the horrific and negative unintended consequences of redefining "marriage". Islam´s definition of marriage is one man and up to four women

Gay Marriage: Bill O´Reilly
Misses the Point
American Thinker, by Monte Kuligowski    Original Article
Posted By: magnante- 4/8/2013 10:57:12 AM     Post Reply
During the highly publicized exchange between Bill O´Reilly and Laura Ingraham on gay marriage, O´Reilly made this statement: "There are Bible thumpers, and all they do is say, ´I object to gay marriage because God objects to it.´ You don´t win a policy debate in America with that." Really? Before central control out of Washington was imposed in 2003, policy arguments for criminalizing homosexual acts were won explicitly "with that." And because of "that," the idea of gay marriage has been unthinkable throughout the history of the American nation.

It had to pain the very reverend Jesse Jackson that when the Trayvon Martin story began to break nationally in mid-March 2012 he was on a pointless glad handing tour of Europe.(snip)As it happens, in 1991 Jackson bought a red brick mansion in a Washington, D.C. neighborhood that had seen its better days. Months after moving in, a burglar broke into the house and made off with some valuables while his mother-in-law was home alone. She heard him and then saw him run away.

By his own standards,
Obama is ´self-delusional´

Posted By: magnante- 4/6/2013 9:03:24 AM     Post Reply
It´s one thing for President Obama to be cocky and overstate his prowess at governing. People are used to politicians grabbing credit, and besides, you can always rationalize when it comes to explaining why things didn´t quite work out as you claimed they would - "the sequester ate my recovery" being the latest successful-enough example. But sports is something else. The basketball either goes through the hoop or it doesn´t. That´s why President Obama´s history of braggadocio regarding his prowess at hoops is having a potent effect on his overall public image, especially with those who are favorably inclined to him.

Over at Salon, Chris Stedman, the Assistant Humanist Chaplain and the Values in Action Coordinator for the Humanist Community at Harvard, has published a vicious piece attacking me for calling attention to the persecution of gays under Islamic law. This comes just days after San Francisco´s Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution condemning my ads standing up for gays. Stedman and the transgender head of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, Theresa Sparks, could form a new organization: Gays for Sharia.

During his two day flurry of fundraising in Northern California, the President of the United States took it upon himself (and allow to be released to the public - not all of his fundraising comments make it to the masses) to praise the attractiveness of Kamala Harris, California Attorney General (snip) The remark, predictably, generated a little of what Allahpundit called a ´Blue on blue food fight." I suspect that was the intention. The president´s image as a manly man took a beating when he missed 20 of 22 basketball shots, all recorded on video.

We have already seen Peak Obama; from here on, it´s going to get rougher and rougher for Barack Obama. Even worse, the one word he must fear the most has just been uttered by a man regarded as a bit of a truth-teller among liberal elites. Joe Klein, the celebrated author "Anonymous," who wrote the best selling, truth-telling book Primary Colors about the 1992 primary campaign that brought us President Bill Clinton, has made it ok for liberals to apply the word "incompetence" to the Obama administration. This represents something of a breakthrough. Until now, it has been taboo

Where is Starbucks
Board of Directors?
American Thinker, by Tom Trinko    Original Article
Posted By: magnante- 4/4/2013 9:44:12 AM     Post Reply
The CEO of Starbucks basically told a shareholder that if the shareholder believes in traditional marriage he should dump his Starbucks stock. Historically the job of the CEO has been to make money and increase shareholder value. It would seem telling people who don´t share the CEO´s personal beliefs, whether it´s gay marriage or abortion, to dump the companies stock is not a pro-shareholder action. This is another example of the liberal belief that everything belongs to liberals because they´re just so darn much smarter than the rest of us

The Coming Global Warming
Voter Backlash
American Thinker, by Jonathon Miseley    Original Article
Posted By: magnante- 4/4/2013 8:40:29 AM     Post Reply
News is breaking out all over: global warming stopped 20 years ago. A political earthquake has resulted from a feature story in the Economist magazine because the Economist used to be a consistent cheerleader for global warming activism. Doubts about global warming used to be censored by its London editors, one reporter confided to Stephen Hayward. So what will voters do to Democrat candidates in 2014 and 2016 when the former realize that the Democratic Party was lying to them? Is it time to run away from the issue for Democrats, journalists, and Hollywood personalities?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”
