Egyptian President Morsi Wants Terrorist in US Custody Freed

Today, after taking his oath of office, newly elected Egyptian president Morsi vowed to get Omar Abdel-Rahman freed. Abdel-Rahman was the spiritual leader of those who car-bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, and was convicted in a plot to kill former Egyptian president Mubarak while he was visiting New York.

Morsi also appears to be a 9/11 Truther. "When you come and tell me the plane hit the tower like a knife in butter, then you are insulting us. How did the plane cut through the steel like this? Something must have happened from the inside. It's impossible," he said. Does anyone see a pattern here?

Way to go on the "Arab Spring" Barack, you surely made the world safer, especially for Americans, by provoking the removal of Mubarak. Why don't you and Hillary Clinton pressure the Egyptian military to step aside, so this guy can get more power? Oh wait, you already did.

New York Times: Morsi Wants to Free Sheik Who Plotted US Terror

The Individual Mandate is Constitutional, Welcome to the People's Republic of America

US flag code: The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except in instances of extreme distress in instances of extreme dangers to life or property

On grounds that the penalty for not buying healthcare is not a tax, Chief Justice Roberts ruled that the Tax Anti-Injunction Statue, which says nobody can sue to stop the collection of a tax until it has been paid, did not apply.


In the same ruling, on grounds that the penalty is a tax, Chief Justice Roberts, who sided with the liberal justices said the law would not be constitutional under the commerce clause, but is constitutional under the taxing clause.

WTF?

These are dangerous times! Welcome to the People's Republic of America! This is a land where the Federal Government can now mandate you spend your money, or you do whatever they want, as long as they have put in place a monetary penalty for not doing it. They can now mandate your behavior!

It is horrifying the amount of power the Federal Government has just received! Tomorrow, you could be "asked"  to buy an electric car, broccoli, solar panels, a house, contribute to anti-global warming funds or whatever politicians decide, or how about you will be "asked" to contribute 100% of your 401k to the "Happy Security & Safety Government Retirement Fund," or be "taxed" $500,000? If you don't do either, then you have an IRS problem. As long as they fine you for not doing it, they will be able to do do this legally, because the Supreme Court has just ruled that any tax by the Federal Government, enumerated or otherwise is a constitutional tax! We had to amend the constitution to make income tax constitutional because the constitution did not provide for it. How should this be any different? Justice Roberts had to twist and bend until the constitution broke to get this through! How is this even remotely like the country our founders envisioned? 

We must stand strong with Mitt Romney in this upcoming presidential election, maintain the majority in the House and toss the Democrats out of the Senate! The door has been opened for unlimited and unbridled power of the Federal Government to mandate behavior. We need to shut it! If conservatives or at least Republicans do not hold all of the cards January of next year, there will be a slim chance that Obamacare can be reversed before it is implemented, at which point, it will never go away. The implications on how the supreme court managed to call this law constitutional today by using the taxation excuse, however, are chilling. Imagine what the Democrats will make us do, the next time they control the legislature and the presidency! We'll have to wait until the Supreme Court overturns it...FAT CHANCE.


Now that politicians can constitutionally control your behavior, we no longer live in a free country. It just takes a tax for politicians to make us do their bidding!

The Most Arrogant Man In The World

The Day Obamacare Died

Remember how the Democrats passed Obamacare? The House passed it, knowing it was a piece of trash, with the expectations that it would go to the Senate to be amended and sent back to the House. Then, Congressman Scott Brown of Massachusetts, who swore he would vote against the law was elected in the, taking away the Democrat House majority. Knowing that returning the bill to the House would kill the bill, Harry Reid, had his panties in a wad and knew the only way to get something passed, was to pass the bill 'as is' through the Senate. There was all the wheeling and dealing, bread and circuses, with the cornhusker kickback, "blue-dog" Democrats who put on a show and resisted, and Obama lying through his teeth saying it would cut costs, then signing an executive order pretending it wouldn't cover abortions. Obama even talked about doctors cutting off your foot to get paid more:

After all of this absurdity, the Democrats stayed late on Christmas Eve, and without a single Republican vote, passed this $2 Trillion monstrosity saying it was "under $1 Trillion," as if they had done well on the price tag. Nancy Pelosi called this a "Christmas Present." This bill is so bad, that some 1200 waivers have been granted to businesses, and Harry Reid even got waivers for his constituency in Nevada. This bill will cause healthcare costs to jump 7.4% by 2014, and has already caused numerous companies and universities to stop offering health insurance. What a useful expenditure of $2 Trillion in taxpayer money.

Unfortunately, we can not depend on the honest opinion by all of the justices determining whether this bill is in conflict with the US Constitution.  Despite being the solicitor general at the time and cheering the passage of the healthcare law, Justice Kagan did not recuse herself. She was put there by Obama as a "yes" vote for Obamacare. The liberals wanted Clarence Thomas to recuse himself because his wife wants the bill thrown out. Apparently, when it comes to being an impartial judge, what your family members think matters, but what you think does not matter. Democrats being dishonest hypocrites, what a new concept.

The Supreme Court ruling on healthcare is expected tomorrow morning around 10:00 AM EST.  Hopefully they tear up the whole thing and burn it. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Arizona Immigration Law: Manchild Wins Again

Today, the supreme court ruled on the Arizona immigration law. 


1 provision was kept in place:

• Law enforcement to determine the immigration status of anyone stopped by state or local law if there is reasonable suspicion that the person is in the US illegally.

3 provisions were ruled unconstitutional:

• Crime not to register with federal government & carry registration
• Crime to solicit work if not authorized to work in the U.S.
• State/local police arrest without warrant in some cases

 Justice Antonin Scalia read his dissenting opinion aloud:

"There has come time to pass, and is with us today, the spector that Arizona predicted. A federal government that does not want to enforce immigration laws as written and leaves the states borders unprotected. So the issue is a stark one. Are the sovereign states at the mercy of the Federal Executive's refusal to enforce the nation's immigration laws? The State has the sovereign power to protect its borders more rigorously if it wishes, absent any valid federal prohibition. The Executive's policy choice of lax federal enforcement does not constitute such a provision... If securing its territory in this fashion is not within the power of Arizona, we should cease referring to it as a sovereign state."

As the federal government's power has grown, state powers have taken a hit today. Not only do federal laws supersede state laws, but according to this ruling, if the federal government makes a law, and decides not enforce it, then the states are not allowed to enforce it either. This is ridiculous because states are supposed to be sovereign, meaning they are able to stand alone as independent entities. Originally many states would never have never joined the union if they thought they could never leave it, but Lincoln did not allow states to secede, which lead to the War Between the States (Civil War). The legality of secession has never been settled. Scalia's point is that a supposedly sovereign entity should have the inherent right to defend its own borders, and if this is the case, the federal government does not have the power to take it away.



What does this mean when you have a lawless executive branch unilaterally dishing out executive orders which contradict laws approved by the legislative branch, and signed by previous presidents? If it remains unchallenged, it means, whatever Dear Leader says goes, such as allowing illegal immigrants under 30 to live in the US and work illegally with the stroke of a pen. Obama wasted no time today. Right after the ruling, he ordered Homeland Security to suspend immigration agreements with Arizona police. Even though local police have the right to call Homeland Security to verify immigration status of individuals, Obama has ordered Homeland Security to stop taking their phone calls, unless the individual has a felony conviction. Obama is changing immigration policy by fiat, like a dictator, without approval from congress, and with the support of liberal judges on the supreme court, so he can get illegal votes!


The manchild has shown over and over he will selfishly disregard whatever laws he does not like, and is fine with ignoring the entire function of the legislative branch. What if regular American citizens decided to act like selfish children by disregarding laws we didn't like? We'd be locked up! An elected official who has power because it is vested in him by the people, is using power he does not have to override law. The country can not afford to see what the manchild will do with "more flexibility" for 4 more years after the next election! 


We must kick out the tyrant. Some 30% of conservatives are not registered to vote! Inform your family and friends, get them to register, and together we will send Barack Obama back to Chicago, where he can retire, write books, and do some more community agitating!

Muslim Brotherhood Wins Election in Egypt

On Sunday, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood Freedom and Justice Party won the presidential election. Here is a look at the mood in Tahrir Square:

Before you start making celebratory noises like Xena Warrior Princess, let's learn a little more about the Muslim Brotherhood. Instead of just listening to the giddy endorsement of liberals or even what Fox News says, look at what 90 year old Gamal Al Bana, the brother of the late founder of the Muslim Brotherhood has to say at 42:14: 

"Not in any way, they do not believe in freedom at all. There is no Islamic authority that respects freedom or democracy," Gamal says. The reporter then asks "What about the Muslim Brother's?" To this, he replied "They are also against freedom." So I guess "Freedom & Jusice" Party is like "People's Republic" as in "People's Republic" of  North Korea?

If you skip back to 17:20 in the video, it shows a little more about Gamal to lend some credibility, and shows how the headscarf Muslim women are wearing is a trend as recent as the 1990s. Gamal says a "women who shows her hair breaks no Islamic law." At 19:22 he says "Muslims have become like monkeys, only imitating others."


The video about the Muslim Brotherhood is very informative. If you want to get a good feel for who they really are, watch the whole thing.


The Egyptian military issued a decree and stripped the presidential position of much of its power, so the military is supposed to be in control despite the election. I question the stability of a government with no parliament, no constitution, and a president who had his power stripped by the military, who also is supported by terrorist organization Hamas. Israeli officials tried to contact the Muslim Brotherhood in recent months through diplomatic channels, but received no response. Israel just became a little less safe, and with Dear Leader in the White House, who partially instigated this mess, it is questionable if they can depend on US military assistance if something happens.


One thing is for sure: I'm not going to go see the pyramids anytime soon.
