If the Democrats controlling Congress doesn’t scare you…

…maybe this will:

Looks like someone needs to read the Constitution

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan disrupted a Democratic press conference saying:

“…she has nothing against lobbying reform, viagra canada click but she and her fellow anti-war activists want Democrats to know they will keep pressuring Congress to end the war in Iraq.”

Maybe someone needs to remind her that Congress could de-fund the war, sale but they can’t “end” it. She’ll have to wait for the Democrats to win the Whitehouse for that one. (Which there’s a pretty darn good chance they will.)

Why do we even have a Constitution in the first place?

I can’t believe I’m saying this about a man accomplished enough to become a Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, sildenafil treat but Justice Stephen Breyer is a complete idiot.

He really believes that his personal opinions deserve more weight than the actual words enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

He justifies this megalomaniacal belief by posturing that the Founders’ words are antiquated and made invalid by the complexities of the modern world.

As an example he cites the First Amendment:

“Those words, ‘the freedom of speech,’ ‘Congress shall pass no law abridging the freedom of speech’ – neither they, the founders, nor those words tell you how to apply it to the Internet,” Breyer said.

With all due respect, Justice Breyer, what don’t you understand about the words “no law?”

It doesn’t matter if the law involvs town criers, television, or telepathy. The Constitution prohibits Congress for passing ANY law that abridges our right to say anything we damn well please. Despite the fevered assertions of generations of liberal lawyers and Justices, there is no ambiquity about “no law.” Of course, there are also plenty of laws abridging the Freedom of speech because the Supreme Court long ago abrogated its chief responsibility to ensure that Congress actually abided by the rules that the Founding Fathers so thoughtfully wrote down.

If nine un-elected men and women in black robes can vote their “feelings,” (regardless of the actual words written down on the one piece of paper they are sworn to support and defend) what’s the point of having a Constitution in the first place?

The Founders should have just written: ask the Supreme Court what to do, they’re in charge.

I think Justice Bryer ended up at the top of the wrong profession. Only one leader on the planet is supposedly infallible and his robes are white, not black.

Yes, please, please spend the next two years investigating everything that happened for the last six!

The ever-moderate Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is urging the newly Democrat-laden Congress to investigate every contentious issue that has come up since George Bush was elected in 2004. (In fact, viagra generic cialis I’m a little shocked that they aren’t insisting on a full-blown investigation into his original election.)

I’m no apologist for the Bush administration. I’m not a fan of their style or many of their decisions.

But I am also nearly as excited about the idea of getting bogged down in endless investigations as I am in getting bogged down in Iraq.

The Democrats posture themselves as “progressives.” Fine. Let’s see some progress. Move forward on trying to solve the problems of healthcare, viagra usa national security, and the Middle East. But if they spend half their time grandstanding in front of microphones trying to get some midlevel administration official to admit that the CIA blew up the twin towers, the Press will cheer them on…but the majority of the people won’t.*

*Unless they actually find some indisputable evidence of real crookery. Of course, the Right’s definition of evidence and the Left’s definition of crime and corruption can differ greatly – as we saw so amply demonstrated in Governor Jim Doyle’s relection in Wisconsin.

He took the words right out of my mouth

When it comes to Jim Doyle‘s administration finally admitting Wisconsin faces a budget deficit, viagra generic decease Mark Green’s campaign manager Mark Graul said:

“I could have sworn Governor Doyle told us there wasn’t a deficit.”

Now I see why the Democrats were so sure the draft was going to come back.

It’s because they’re the ones who keep trying to bring it back.

Flag of our Failures of Nerve

I recently watched Flag of Our Fathers.

It’s a wonderful movie (and a better book).

But the entire time I watched it, cialis sales recipe I couldn’t help contrasting America’s bravery then and our country’s cowardice now.

Yes, buy we’ve lost 2338 serviceman in the war in Iraq in the last three years.

But we lost 6,821 G.I.s in a little over a month at Iwo Jima.

Did that battle make us “change course?”

Did we draw down?

Did we run away?

No. We kept fighting until the enemy lost their will to do the same.

If today’s Democrats had been in charge in the 1940s instead of FDR, I think a very different flag might have ended up flying over Iwo Jima.

A few of the things I agree with the Left about:

  • Alternative fuels – I’d like it if I never had to think about the Middle East again.
  • Separation of church and state.
  • The environment needs to be protected (we only get one Earth).
  • Free speech – (if only they still believed in it as strongly).
  • Racism is bad (Now if they only understood that Affirmative Action is racist).
  • Sexism is bad.
  • Financial aid for college students is an investment.
  • Developers suck.
  • Macintoshes rock.

A self-fulfilling prophecy

Isn’t it funny that John Murtha wants to leave Iraq because he wanted to avoid another Vietnam, viagra generic healing yet Iraq only really becomes another Vietnam when the Democrats manage to abandon it?

Russ Feingold 2010?

When Russ Feingold says he won’t run for President in 2008, buy viagra cialis do you think it’s because he plans on running for Wisconsin Governor in 2010?

Maybe someone pointed out to him that Senators don’t often win the presidency, but governors often do.
