The Stamp act of 2012

Supreme court justice Roberts found the Mandate constitutional as a tax and so the mandate stands.  Will this be the 'stamp act' tax of our day that finally wakes up Americans to what is happening in our country?  Will they finally wake up to the fact that we no longer enjoy the freedoms we once had, that our President is governing like a King, ignoring Congress, the constitution and the obligations of his position?
I'm praying Americans will finally turn off their TV's, unplug their ipods, stop the endless pursuit of entertainment and aquisition and see what has happened to their rights and liberties as Americans.

 I'm hoping this unfair 'tax' will have the same effect as the one passed over 200 years ago that caused our ancestors to take a stand against a King who had overstepped his bounds. I hope Americans will be true to their roots and take a stand against a President who has violated his 'subjects' rights as well.

Healthcare Law a violation of 'Right to Privacy'

It's Monday morning, June 25th and I'm waiting; hoping the Supreme court will give us their decision on the Healthcare Law.  My own feeling is that the Supreme Court should strike it down because it violates the 'Right To Privacy' which the court has, a number of times before, found in the Constitution.  If I am forced to buy health insurance, I am also forced to give up my private medical information to an insurance company. I am also forced to be under their jurisdiction for how I will be treated in my medical conditions.  I think I should have the right to the privacy of my own body and my own medical treatment and allowing the govt. to regulate it violates that privacy.
I hope-- however they consider the law; the Supreme Court will come to the same conclusion-the law is over reaching and puts restraints on Americans' liberty to be a free people.
I hope we won't have too much longer to wait, to find out.

Is it time to Impeach our President?

President Obama announced his administration will no longer enforce our immigration laws in regards to certain illegal immigrants who reside within our country.
From a news story:
 "For years the administration had said it didn’t have the authority to make such a move, saying it couldn’t decide to stop deporting wide categories of people on its own without approval from Congress.  But on Friday President Obama says administration now interprets the law to give it the discretion."
From the White House's own website it states clearly what Pres. Obama has sworn under oath do to: "Under Article II of the Constitution, the President is responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws created by Congress." When a President refuses to fulfill the responsibilities he swore to fill, it is time for Congress to take action. But will they?  Or will they continue to complain about his outrageous flaunting of the rule of law, but allow him to continue to pick and choose what laws he will enforce.  I hope Congress will do what they must to uphold the Constitution and warn the President that if he continues to refuse to enforce laws passed by them, he has abdicated his responsibilities and must be removed from office.  Any President, no matter his party affiliation, must abide by the constraints of our Constitution, otherwise he is setting himself to be a Dictator and my hope and prayer is that Americans will not stand for that. We shall see.

New strategy from the left

The voters won last night when Scott Walker and other Republican officials in Wisconsin managed to win re-election against the recall challenge.  But we'd better not think this is over.  Leftists have figured out a new way to subvert the will of the people.  If your Democrat candidate doesn't win, just prevent the Republican winner from actually being able to govern by keeping them distracted with recalls, lawsuits, and charges of impropriety, fraud, scandal--whatever works to keep them from being able to do the job they were elected to do.
Hopefully the voters will wake up and see the game that is being played and the fact that it's costing them a ton of tax payer money to fight these challenges and once again, subverting the will of the people.

Breaking down Societal Taboos, one magazine cover at a time..

Time Magazine's controversial cover showing a woman breastfeeding her son was meant to do more than just sell magazines.  That in itself is not controversial, but what made it so was the subtle sexual undertones in the layout.  The mother, a beautiful woman, dressed scantily, baring her breast with a boy who looks to be six (though apparently three) latched on, both looking at the camera.
We've seen too much of the relentless attacks on Judeo-Christian values by the media and those they service to not see right through this.
It is a clear attempt to break down the strong taboo against incest.  Now, I'm not saying this is incestuous.  What I'm saying is that they wanted to make regular people uncomfortable--they wanted them to feel bad about the feelings they have at the image, chastising themselves for being 'judgmental'.

'This is just another choice.  Breastfeeding is natural.  We shouldn't judge'.  Well, I'm a mother who breastfed my three children, though I stopped when they were between a year and a year and a half.  I don't have any problems with breastfeeding and I feel that most mothers know when it's time to stop or it could cause unhealthy attachment issues.  I also know that in some cultures children are breastfed a lot longer than in our culture with no problems.  I don't have a problem with any of those things.  I don't even care if the woman on Time's cover wants to breastfeed her three year old, though I seriously question her judgment in setting her son up for ridicule by peers as he gets older.
But I really am annoyed when I see I'm being manipulated by a magazine cover to make me associate breastfeeding with sexuality and I see it as an effort to break down the strong revulsions society carries toward incest.  The media may have been able to break down many long held taboos in this society--and they're efforts seem to be working, but in this case, I think they will find it a harder sell. I sure hope so.

A very 'transparent' President

Pres. Obama claimed that his administration was going to be the most transparent. Well, he's right about one thing--his motives are pretty transparent with his 'evolved' position on Gay Marriage.

The Pres. came out in support of Gay Marriage--after years of claiming he was not for it.  Why now?  Simple; He needs money and the LGBT groups have the money.  Once again he's exploiting a hot-button, emotionally charged issue to get people to open their wallets for him, at a time when his fundraising is worrisomely down. He couldn't come out in support during the first election because Blacks and Hispanics are consistently against redefining marriage and he didn't want to alienate those voters, but now, he'll take that chance for a short while in order to fill his coffers with much needed campaign funds as well as tie those voters to him.

And using his new 'enlightened' position in the future, we can be sure he'll try and polarize voters by pointing out Mitt Romney's support of Prop 8 and his support of marriage being between a man and a woman, which in turn, will bring the LGBT group firmly under his control.

I'm just hoping it backfires on him and he'll find it may give him the money he craves, but it won't bring him the votes--which is what actually counts come November.

Liberal Insanity Here and Abroad

Insanity has sometimes been defined as 'continuing to do the same thing, yet expect a different outcome'.  If we use this definition then Europe is insane and so are all Liberals who think that Socialism is the answer to creating prosperity and security for all.

If one looks at history, you'll find that when Socialism/Communism has been tried, it has failed and those countries who haven't failed yet are mired in misery.  Socialism does not work, yet we just witnessed Europeans throw a tantrum at facing the reality that their system will soon collapse and vote Socialist parties in to allow them to continue on their road to disaster.  I feel sorry for the people because I understand why they did it, but I also shake my head at their ignorance and the grief they are bringing upon themselves.

Let's hope Americans will not fall for the 'pie in the sky' fantasy that Socialism is and has always been.  Sooner or later reality sets in and the bottom falls out. I hope Europe's 'bottom' will fall out before America follows their same foolish path.
