Dedicated leftist Senator Patrick Leahy directed a
2000 word dissertation
at the Court from the Senate floor,selecting as his principle target
Chief Justice John Roberts. He ridiculed conservative justices for
their tough questioning of principle ObamaCare advocate Solicitor
General Donald Verilli during oral arguments,stating “their action will
not help restore American’s confidence in the Court to fairly apply the
law.”And he alternately
praised and threatened
the Chief Justice,literally claiming that if Roberts joined other
conservatives in a 5-4 decision against ObamaCare it would “…undoubtedly
further erode the reputation and legitimacy of the Supreme Court.”

Barry was quite the accomplished marijuana enthusiast back in high school and college. Excerpts from David Maraniss'
Barack Obama: The Story
dealing with the elaborate drug culture surrounding the president when
he attended Punahou School in Honolulu and Occidental College in Los
Angeles. He inhaled. A lot.
Along with TA, Barry popularized the concept of "roof hits": when
they were chooming in the car all the windows had to be rolled up so no
smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted
their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling. [This
puts into context his quote in his book about being in a drug and
alcohol induced haze for the last two years of high school. No wonder
he had to make a "composite" Obama, declaring himself to have been born
in Kenya in order to qualify as a foreign minority student with less
than acceptable grades to get into Harvard.] http://www.buzzfeed.com/gavon/a-users-guide-to-smoking-pot-with-barack-obama

So now Montana’s environmental movement are circling the wagons (or
perhaps they are eco-friendly Toyota Priuses) and trying to put a stop
to a plan that could result in as many as 60 coal trains a day heading
from Montana’s coal fields to proposed export terminals in Oregon and
Washington.
You see, there is one country that still believes in
development, that still believes in growth, that still believes in
economic prosperity for its people — and that country is China. Yep, the
People’s Republic of China, but curiously the communists in China are
more friendly to capitalist development than the good folks in MIssoula,
Montana.
But the folks in Missoula are really just pawns in a
worldwide enterprise to shut down coal and other natural resource
development. In the case of coal, the excuse is “climate change” — that
catch-all bogeyman that anti-capitalists have found useful to trick
people into opposing development of all kinds.
The Obama
administration has been targeting coal-fired plants with environmental
regulations that are strangling the life out of the industry. Prices for
electricity back East are skyrocketing as a result, but wait a minute
— isn’t that what candidate Obama promised to do?

The author of best-selling novel “The Exorcist” says he plans to sue
alma mater Georgetown University in a Vatican court after the Catholic
school invited Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to
speak on campus.
The author, William Peter Blatty, says the Jesuit-founded university
in Washington has for the past two decades invited speakers who support
abortion rights and has refused to comply with orders by the late Pope
John Paul II for church-affiliated colleges and universities.
The “last straw” was the university allowing students to invite
Sebelius to speak May 18, considering she was instrumental in helping
President Obama draft health care reform that includes a mandate for
some religious institutions to offer insurance to cover employees’
birth-control costs

It appears that anyone visiting Tennessee this summer should leave
their cash at home. A New Jersey man has encountered an outrageous
policy among police in that state to seize large amounts of cash from
out-of-state visitors without any probable cause of a crime. The
practice brings a new meaning to “highway robbery.”
A professional insurance adjuster,
George Reby, was traveling through the state from New Jersey when he was
stopped and asked by Officer Larry Bates if he had large amounts of
cash. He said that he did — $22,000. The officer demanded the money and
said that he was confiscating the money on suspicion of drug activity.
That is it. The mere fact that he was carrying a large amount of cash
was enough under this policy to seize the money. The police know that
many out-of-state travelers never come back for the cash and they are
then allowed to keep the money for their own uses at the department.

The overwhelmingly Republican, exceedingly wealthy Southern California
beach town of Newport Beach has slapped the Obama campaign with the bill
for its February fundraising visit to the Corona del Mar neighborhood.
The affluent community's City Manager Dave Kiff is behind the
unprecedented billing,
arguing that since the visit was campaign-related, not official
presidential business, the Obama campaign should pay for the increased
security, as would any private event. The bill's due date of June 9 is
fast approaching, but there has been as yet no response from the Obama
campaign offices in Chicago.

WASHINGTON -- The White House is aggressively pushing the idea that,
contrary to widespread belief, President Barack Obama is tightfisted
with taxpayer dollars. To back it up, the administration cites a media
report that claims federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since
the Eisenhower years.
"Federal spending since I took office has risen at the slowest pace
of any president in almost 60 years," Obama said at a campaign rally
Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa.
The problem with that rosy claim is that the Wall Street
bailout is part of the calculation. The bailout ballooned the 2009
budget just before Obama took office, making Obama's 2010 results look
smaller in comparison. And as almost $150 billion of the bailout was
paid back during Obama's watch, the analysis counted them as government
spending cuts.
It also assumes Obama had less of a role setting the budget for 2009 than he really did.

Teachers in Buffalo are getting plastic surgery on the tax payer’s buck, it has been revealed.
Tummy tucks, liposuction and Botox are all part of the controversial one of a kind health plan.
The
teachers themselves claim to be the lowest paid in the state, and say
that they deserve ‘a little something extra’, describing the procedures
as ‘a perk’.

Islam Rising: The Never Ending Jihad Against Christianity
By Jim Murk|
21st Century Press, 2006,
Dr. Jim Murk opens Islam Rising with the proposal that when
history looks back on the turn of the 21st Century, three phenomena will
stand out: the rapid world-wide expansion of grassroots Christianity,
the resurrection of the nation of Israel, and the surging rise of
militant Islam.
The author draws disturbing parallels between Nazism, Communism
and Islamic fundamentalism, pointing out that the three have used the
same techniques – mass killing or murder of millions of inconvenient and
innocent persons, hatred as a part of their philosophy, manipulative
propaganda and totalitarian systems to impose their will on others.
He contrasts Islam and Christianity by pointing out that
Christianity desires to win others by persuasion, while Islam envisions a
military type takeover of all the nations of the world.
Murk has extensive credentials, holding master’s degrees in
cultural anthropology and theology. He also earned a Ph.D. degree and
developed a course called “The Islamic Culture Sphere” for Wheaton
College.
His insights are provocative and sobering.

Don't
look now, but President Obama could actually lose his party's
nomination contest in this week's Democratic primary contest in Texas.
Probably not to any one of the three candidates opposing him, but he
could still get less than 50% of the Democrat votes in the Texas
Democratic primary. That would be pretty embarrassing. Almost a "no
confidence" vote among Democrats.
