Why Can’t Our Judges Just Read the Constitution?

The Freedom from Religion Foundation has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Western Wisconsin to prevent block the engraving of the pledge of allegiance and “In God We Trust” from at the capital visitor’s center. Their argument; that the words “In God we trust” and “Under God” would be an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. Let us examine this argument based upon what the Constitution actually says.

First, let us examine the Constitution from the premise that words mean something. To put it another way, each word that we use has a definition. The definition of a word is not implied, it is what it is. That being said, this is what the first amendment to the Constitution says.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

There have been many rulings by the Supreme Court regarding the government and it role, or lack of a role, in regards to religion. The overwhelming consensus in most of the decisions has pull government and religion away from each other. First, almost all of the church/state cases that end up at the Supreme Court do not concern just religion, they concern the Christian religion. Second, the Constitution does not prevent the government, its leaders, or institution from endorsing a religion or from openly acknowledging God. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” Let’s examine these definitions.

Endorse - to approve openly <endorse an idea>; especially: to express support or approval of publicly and definitely <endorse a mayoral candidate>

Establish - to approve openly <endorse an idea>; especially: to express support or approval of publicly and definitely <endorse a mayoral candidate> to introduce and cause to grow and multiply <establish grass on pasturelands>

These are two different words with two different definitions. The first amendment says that the government shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. What does that mean? It means that the government can not pass a law that would establish a government religion or state church. When the government puts engravings on its currency a pledge is recited that references God there is no establishment of religion. The Christian religion is several thousand years old. One can not establish what is already in existence. The Constitution does not say that the government can not endorse religion. Our founding fathers time and time again tied the establishment of this republic and its founding principles to the religious principles that they held so dear. Separate the republic from their faith, in fact they wrapped the republic with the tremendous regard that they had for their faith and used their Christian principles in establishing this country. Most of our founding documents refer to God and the personal writings of our founding fathers confirm their beliefs that this was to be a Christian nation. Our judges need to read the Constitution and the writings of these great men whose signatures reside on that document. If our judges would read the Constitution with the understanding that the framers chose their words carefully so that this would remain a free nation with an open and embracing attitude toward the Christian faith on which it was established.

A Little Story to Make You Think

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America, having lost their morals, their initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as "The One".
He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you with Hope and Change.
Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed." And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had promised that it was good; and they believed.
And "The One" said "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!" And the people said, "Hallelujah! Change is good!"
Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats."
And the people said "Sock it to them!"
"And redistribute their wealth."
And the people said, "Show us the money!"
And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody."
And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats?" And "The One" ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized.
One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?" And she was banished from the kingdom!
Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?"
And "The One" said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk with them and show them how nice we really are, and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"
Then "The One" said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."
And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay any taxes."
So "The One" said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"
Then "The One" said, "I shall tax your capital gains when you sell your homes!"
And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed.
And He said, "I shall mandate employer-funded health care for every worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and transportation to the clinics."
And the people said, "Give me some of that!"
Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."
And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"
Then "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket!"
And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates."
So "The One" said, "Not to worry...if your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you out. Just sign up with Acorn and your troubles are over!"
Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bilingual signs and guaranteed housing..."
And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!
And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.
Then "The One" said, "I am the "The One" - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"
But our foreign trading partners said unto Him, "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more..."
And the people said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!"
And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!"
And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?"
But yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon "The One" and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change "The One" had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.
And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, "Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!" But it was too late, and their homeland was no more.
You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not.
It's happening RIGHT NOW!

Republicans Need to Filibuster Sotomayor

Senate Republicans need to filibuster Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court.  How is that possible if there is now the infamous 60^th vote for democrats in the Senate?  It is possible because of one rule in taking matters to a vote.

"The Chairman shall entertain a non-debatable motion to bring a matter before the Committee to a vote. If there is objection to bring the matter to a vote without further debate, a roll call vote of the Committee shall be taken, and debate shall be terminated if the motion to bring the matter to a vote without further debate passes with ten votes in the affirmative, one of which must be cast by the minority."

If the Republicans would unite and vote in the negative to move Sotomayor’s nomination to a vote before the committee, the matter would be stuck in the debate phase.  Understand that this would depend on the weak conservative links like Sen. Lindsey Graham holding firm, something he has fell to do in the past.  This would cause some negative blow back to this, but this nominee is dangerous to the freedoms granted to Americans by the Constitution.

The talking point of Democrats is to define judicial activism as when the decisions of the court do not agree with what “you” believe.  Wrong.  The job of the Supreme Court is to hold laws passed by Congress up to the scrutiny of the defined powers granted government by the constitution and strike down those laws if they overstep the bounds that the founding fathers set on the federal government.  Judicial Activism takes place when a judge bypasses the congress and creates law by the crafting of judicial decisions.  The founding fathers created a wonderful system that, when used properly and within the bounds of the Constitution, prevents one segment of government from circumventing the Constitution without a check from other branches to balance their authority.  When judicial activist judges create law, there is no check and the Constitution is ignored.  Sonya Sotomayor is a judicial activist.  She is one of the most overturned judges in our federal judicial system because she either does not understand the Constitution when rendering decisions or intentionally ignores it.  Either is unacceptable.  We must make a stand not against this administration and its hard left leaning.  Republican Senators, show some brass and stop this nomination or let them nominate her over your proverbial dead political bodies.  If you will return to your conservative credentials you will be resurrected by the conservative majority speaks out at the voting booth in 2010.

Is It Time for California’s “Boxer” Rebellion?

California has a crisis of leadership. For years the prevailing winds of liberal politics have left California over taxed and essentially bankrupt. Years of government excess and promising everything to everybody has the state reeling. As if it were bad enough that there is no leadership on the state level in California, if you look at the quality of representation in congress one realizes quickly that California is in trouble. The low spot is California’s representation in Congress is Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer.

During a hearing on the levees in New Orleans Sen. Boxer threw one of her infamous childlike tirades when Brigadier General Michael Walsh, in a sign of military respect, continually called her ‘Ma’am.

"Could you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am? It's just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title. I'd appreciate it.”

My first question to Sen. Boxer is this, “Who do you think you are, you arrogant and pompous cow, to dare talk down to an honored member of the United States military?” This is just one in a long line of childish outburst that demonstrates the ignorance of this woman. California, it is time to send Boxer home where she belongs; a “boxer rebellion” if you will. It appears that former Hewlett –Packard CEO Carly Fiorina may be running for the Republican nomination for the Senate. California, Fiorina is a bright hardworking woman who actually has accomplishments in her life. Compare that to Boxer who is just a loud mouth politician with no accomplishments in the real world and a bad attitude. The sad fact is this California, Boxer is still popular there as 51% of the people approve of the job that she is doing. Unfortunately, she is as intellectually bankrupt as the state is financially bankrupt. Wake up California; it is time to rebel against stupidly and arrogance. It is time to send Boxer home.

Will Health Care Reform Be Planned Parenthoods New War on the Black American Family.

In a carefully and deviously crafted amendment by Sen. Barbara Mikulski to the health care reform bill, Planned Parenthood and its 295 clinics that perform abortions are included in the bill's definition of community health services. This classification gives Planned Parenthood a foothold in poorer communities that, in many large cities, are predominantly minority communities. This could begin the next Planned Parenthood war on black America.

The liberal agenda has had devastating consequences in the black community. Democrats have tried to trap entire segments of the black community into a cycle of dependency that is, at the very core, racist and has destroyed many black families. As a result we see a majority of mothers raising children with no father in the home, looking instead to token leaders like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and organizations like the NAACP that have a vested interest in this oppression. Right at the center of this liberal agenda is the abortion issue.

Regardless of the position on abortion that one takes a study of the history of America’s leading abortion advocate, Planned Parenthood, reveals that at the heart of organizations abortion agenda is the intention to wipe out the black community in America, and eventually the world.

Planned Parenthood was formed by Margaret Sanger (originally known as the American Birth Control League). Sanger was a proponent of negative eugenics which had as is primary tenet the prevention of reproduction by people who had genetic defects and undesirable traits. In other words, a follower of negative eugenics philosophy would make mandatory the sterilization of anyone who had a history in their family of birth defects. As for the term undesirable traits; that term is so broad that it could include anyone based on ideology, physical build, or skin color.

In 1939 Sanger began the Negro Project. Sanger employed black religious leaders with socially left views to promote the idea of sterilization in the black community. Her true motive was made clear in this statement from a letter to Clarence Gamble.

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Is this liberal philosophy dead? On July 2^nd Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told New York Times reporter Emily Bazelon this.

“at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of."

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said this of Sanger after receiving Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger Award

“I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision… when I think about what she did all those years ago in Brooklyn, taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions, I am really in awe of her.”

Senator Barbara Boxer of California profiles Sanger on her website in her “Profiles of Extraordinary Women”.

The war on the black American family continues and it is time that conservatives stand up and declare no, liberals will not be allowed to destroy the black community, Hispanic community, or any other community in America. These communities, as well as every ethnic community in this country are a valuable part of what is America, and we must make a stand with them against the hidden racism of the liberal agenda.

It is Time for Real Ideas for Real Problems

At the Group of Eight summit President Obama, referring to economic recovery, said that a “full recovery is still a ways off”. Could it be that the economic recovery is so slow in emerging because of the reckless economic policies of the current administration along with the current congress. The President and Congress have yet to offer any legislation that will have any meaningful simulative effect on the economy. The only stimulus the President seems to be interested in is increased government spending which is not stimulus.


We must learn from the example of Franklin Roosevelt. The left says that FDR did not go far enough with his huge government spending plans during the depression. A reasonable analysis of those years reveals that he in fact went too far and it delayed growth and prolonged the depression. In fact, had it not been for the economic boom created by World War II, the great depression might have lingered for another fifteen or twenty years.

Government spending does not promote an environment for investment and productivity. The addition of massive amounts of debt robs the economy of the growth created by personal investment.

There are proven methods that will cause the economy to begin a period of growth.


1. Cut the capital gains rate to 10% for everyone. This will spur capital investment by businesses and personal investment giving banks a supply of cash that will not require the printing of money by the Federal Reserve.
2. Offer tax immunity allowing every American business that has money sheltered in off shore accounts to bring that money back to America tax free if it is used to spur investment and create jobs.
3. Replace the federal income tax with a national sales tax, preferably the fair tax. If the math is explained and people can look past democratic fear mongering, the fair tax is a fantastic idea. Imagine this; you want to buy a recliner that cost $300.00. Under our current tax system $100.00 dollars of that recliner is embedded taxes. If the tax code is replaced the cost of that recliner becomes $200.00. If you add a 25% sales tax, the cost becomes $250.00. Under the fair tax the cost of the recliner goes down $50.00 and you are allowed to keep your entire pay check. The resulting stimulus to the economy would be 1,000% more effective than the current
stimulus debacle.
4. Cut government spending.
5. Cut the corporate tax rate to 10%.

These are real solutions that will work for America and create business and jobs.

The Democratic mantra on these plans sounds like this, corporate welfare, corporate giveaway, and the like. Let me explain to the democrats what corporations are responsible for.


1. Creating jobs.
2. Creating Wealth
3. Innovation.
4. Investment.

Obama and his followers talk of corporations as if they were the coming anti-christ. In fact here is what corporations are. They are companies that produce goods and services and HIRE PEOPLE. In other words they are where we work. When liberals attack corporations they attack our jobs and people are put out of work. As liberals attack the big oil companies with their left wing agenda, which one of the thousands of jobs that will be lost does anyone think will not affect the unemployment rates. The people who work at the "big corporations" are our neighbors, our friends, our mothers,our fathers, and more than likely ourselves. The next time democrats and the President attack "big corporations" recite the attack over and over in your head, but replace the word corporation with your company name. Who he just attacked was you and the job that he is targeting could be yours. Now get mad and fight back.

It is time to for the voice of common sense to be heard America.

Is America Beginning to Wake Up?

The Rasmusen Polls today shows the picture of a Country that is beginning to wake-up to the realization that President Obama and the Democratic Party are wrong for America. Almost anyone capable of an intellectual thought need only listen to the incoherent babbling of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and they should understand that they are wrong for America. The eye catcher in the new Rasmusen Polls is the results for President Obama.

Is Obama still Popular? Overall yes, but as more and more people watch government move in to invade more areas of our live through the Obama backed health care plans and the cap and trade bill (which looks like it came from the Madoff ponzi scheme playbook), America is beginning to wake up. It is time for conservatives, both Democrat and Republican, to stand up and caucus together to fight this liberal agenda. Stop believing the lies of the Democratic controlled media that conservatism is dead. It is very much alive, and these poll results prove it. Even in an election where America was tired of George W. Bush, 48% of the people still did not fall for the Obama political hype machine.

Did Pennsylvania Senator Arleen Spector switch parties because the Republican Conservative message as presented could not get him elected in north-eastern states? No!!! He switched because he is a liberal and it was time to reveal his true leanings. To that end I say good riddance. This message needs to be relayed to other senators like South Carolina’s Lindsay Graham, if you were elected to be a conservative voice for your state (by the way, senators are not U.S. Senators. They are senators representing the state of “fill in the blank”), you should be about the business of representing us. Not your own agenda or opinions. I for one did not vote for Graham to go to Washington to vote his conscience, I voted for him to go to Washington to vote my conscience and the majority conscience of the people of South Carolina.

I am an ordinary citizen and I speak for ordinary citizens. Raise yourselves out of slumber Congress, and take notice that America is waking up and we will be holding you accountable for raising our taxes and letting spending get out of control. We will be holding you accountable for mortgaging our children’s future so that your liberal agenda can be carried out. Conservatives, we will be holding you accountable for not speaking out and going along just to get along. It is time for a change and members of the house and senate, the change will begin with getting you out.
