NO COURAGE FROM OUR REP - IT TAKES 56 MEN OF COURAGE

Rep. Darrell Issa is finally getting what he has long craved: subpoena power. From his new perch atop the committee responsible for oversight investigations, the California Republican will be able to demand any document he wishes and summon anybody to appear before him - no small thing for a man who recently referred to President Obama as "one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times."

Even so, there's one thing Issa says he won't subpoena: Barack Obama's birth certificate.

(ARTICLE 2 Section 1 clause: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.)


"Mine is not the committee that asks where the president was born," Issa said in an interview. "It doesn't ask what ministers that he went to think. All that stuff is a distraction. I'm not the overseer of the president."

"Our committee is the committee of stopping government from taking away your liberties, government from exceeding its authority, government from keeping your business from expanding and growing, government from spending your money less efficiently than you would spend it yourself," Issa said. 

Asked whether he would pursue political prosecutions of the administration, Issa said: "I'm sure going to try not to. If there's a violation of the Hatch Act [which prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities], my committee will deal with it because we have an obligation, but I'm not getting up every day and trying to create one."

Now that Issa, 57, a Lebanese American who grew up working-class but is one of the wealthiest House members, is set to assume the chairmanship, his makeover is well underway.

WE HAVE CORRUPT POLITICIANS AMONGST US - 2010

"Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2010, a list published annually by the a Washington-based organization that focuses on transparency, accountability and integrity in the government, politics and law of the United States.


The full list, in alphabetical order, names:
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.;
Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel;
Sen. John Ensign, R-N.V.;
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.;
Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., D-Ill.;
Barack Obama,
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.;
Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.;
Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky.; and
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.

OBAMA'S GREAT BRIBE  FOR OBAMACARE (ILLINOIS):
"In 2010, we learned why he broke his pledge. In what is now known as the 'Cornhusker Kickback' scheme, Obama and the Democrats in the Senate 'purchased' the vote of one of the last Democrat hold-outs, Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson, who opposed Obamacare over the issue of covering abortions with taxpayer funds," the report said.
"Nelson abandoned his opposition to Obamacare after receiving millions of dollars in federal aid for his home state, helping to give the Democrats the 60 votes they needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. Same goes for Louisiana Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu, who received a $100 million payoff in what has been called 'The Louisiana Purchase.' (The Kickback was so corrupt that Democrats stripped it out at the last minute. The Louisiana Purchase, on the other hand, became law of the land.)" the report said.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. – who, it appears, "still needs an ethics lesson," the report said. She's chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.
  "Boxer failed to mention (or disclose on her official Senate Financial Disclosure documents) that she and her husband have signed no less than seven mortgages with Countrywide! At the time of the hearing, Boxer reportedly indicated she had paid off two Countrywide mortgages, but did not mention the others.
Former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (ILLINOIS)
He allegedly interfered with Senate elections in Pennsylvania and Colorado by offering federal appointments to Rep. Joe Sestak and Andrew Romanoff and participated "in the Blagojevich scandal."
Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev. – publicly admitted an affair with the wife of a staff member, and evidence "indicates" he tried to cover up his shenanigans "by bribing the couple with lucrative gifts and political favors," Judicial Watch said.
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass. – Where to start? He allegedly "intervened" for Rep. Waters on behalf of his home-state OneUnited Bank to get Troubled Asset Relief Program money, and "to this day, Barney Frnak continues to defend his role in the meltdown of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, saying he was just as blindsided as the rest of America when the two government sponsored enterprises collapsed, triggering the financial crisis."
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill. (ILLINOIS)– was described by the Chicago Sun-Times as directing "a major political fundraiser to offer former Gov. Rod Blagojevich millions of dollars in campaign cash in return for an appointment to the U.S. Senate." Judicial Watch said while "Blago" was convicted on one of 24 charges related to the scheme, it is Jackson "who should be on the hot-seat."
 Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. – Judicial Watch said "Air Pelosi" now is grounded.
"Judicial Watch uncovered documents back in 2009 detailing attempts by Pentagon staff to accommodate Pelosi's numerous requests for military escorts and military aircraft for herself and her family as well as the speaker's 11th-hour cancellations and changes. Overall, the speaker's military travel cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol," the report said.

Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., – Earlier this month the U.S. House voted 333-79 to "censure" Rangel, which, the report said, is next to expulsion as the most serious sanction that can be taken. Judicial Watch said Rangel's ethics violations included forgetting to pay taxes on $75,000 in rental income

Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky. – Judicial Watch said Rogers, even though the 2010 election focused on cutting government spending, was named chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, and according to ABC, "In two years, Rogers pushed through 135 earmarks worth $246 million. He's brought tens of millions of dollars into his hometown of Somerset, Ky., so much so that the town has been dubbed 'Mr. Rogers' neighborhood.

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. – The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (known informally as the House Ethics Committee) plans to hold hearings on Waters, according to the AP, on allegations "Waters broke the rules in requesting federal help for a bank where her husband owned stock and had served on the board of directors."

  “It was the right thing to do for our military. It was the right thing to do for our country,” the Connecticut Independent said. Lieberman’s move could help him politically — he’s up for re-election in 2012 and Roll Call Politics rates his race a Tossup.

Sen. John McCain, Obama's GOP rival in 2008, led the opposition. The Arizona Republican acknowledged he didn't have the votes to stop the bill and he blamed elite liberals with no military experience for pushing their social agenda on troops during wartime.

"They will do what is asked of them," McCain said of service members. "But don't think there won't be a great cost."

The Pentagon study found that two-thirds of service members didn't think changing the law would have much of an effect. But of those who did predict negative consequences, a majority were assigned to combat arms units. Nearly 60 percent of the Marine Corps and Army combat units, such as infantry and special operations, said in the survey they thought repealing the law would hurt their units' ability to fight.

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) and Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK) have responded to recent news that the Federal Reserve forced a local Oklahoma bank to remove Bible verses, crosses, and Christmas buttons from its grounds because they could be considered offensive. In a letter to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, and copied to Attorney General Eric Holder, the politicians say the move appears to be “without precedent” and may be in violation of “fundamental Constitutional protections.”

 In a statement Friday, Sen. Inhofe and Rep. Lucas said they were “alarmed” about the  Federal Reserve’s “distressing interpretation” of Regulation B concerning the bank in Perkins, Oklahoma.

This is an all out assault on the faith, values, and rights of the bank, its employees and the people of Perkins they serve, Inhofe said. It is absolutely ridiculous for the regulation to be interpreted this way, and it unduly discriminates against a persons faith in Christ and their Constitutionally protected freedom to publically express that faith. It is simply another case of liberals in Washington overstepping their bounds and intruding in the lives of individuals. I expect the Federal Reserve to rectify this situation quickly.

Lucas said, The recent actions taken by the Federal Reserve at Payne County Bank are of great concern to me. I do not agree with its interpretation of Regulation B in this circumstance and believe that it infringes upon fundamental Constitutional rights afforded to all Americans. I encourage the Federal Reserve to review the situation and take the appropriate action to address it.

Republicans With Ambition Vote Against Tax Bill

Friday, 17 Dec 2010 11:45 AM

Article Font Size   

House Republicans considering a bid for higher office in 2012 apparently don’t think a vote for the tax cut bill would help them much. “At least eight of the 36 GOP ‘no’ votes came from members thought to be running for higher office in two years, including Rep. Mike Pence, Ind., (pictured) a potential GOP presidential hopeful,” The Hill reports.

Other potential upwardly mobile Republican candidates who voted against the measure are Reps. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, Denny Rehberg of Montana, Connie Mack of Florida, Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Pete Hoekstra of Michigan. Chaffetz is considering a primary run against Sen. Orrin Hatch, who voted “yes.” Rehberg, Mack, Bachmann and Hoekstra are potential Senate candidates too.

The “no” votes could endear the rejectionists to the tea party movement.

PALIN IN HAITI

By Henry J. Reske and Kathleen Walter
Sarah Palin’s visit to the earthquake-ravaged Haiti showed she is not “afraid to get her hands dirty,” says the Rev. Franklin Graham. The former Alaska governor is a “woman of strong principle and no question she has a strong faith in God,” the son of renowned evangelist Billy Graham said during a Newsmax.TV interview in which he discussed his hosting her Haitian visit.

“She came in with her smile. She would sit on the cots. Now, you have to understand a cholera clinic, these cots have been soaked in urine, and fecal matter, and vomit. Cholera is a horrible thing, and she just sat right there in the middle of it, holding peoples’ hands, talking to people, holding babies, it was an amazing thing. She’s quite a lady and not afraid to get her hands dirty.”

As for Graham’s appraisal of Palin, he said: “When you read her book ‘Going Rogue,’ she gives a testimony on how she gave her life to God. And the last page of her book ‘Going Rogue,’ she mentions or says to the reader if you haven’t done what I’ve done, I encourage you to do it. And she invites a person to invite God into their heart, their life. I’ve seen the governor on a number of occasions and no question her faith is a big part of her life — that’s who she is. She’s a believer in Jesus Christ, a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, that’s just her makeup. It’s her DNA.”

IS THIS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE - PORKIE PIG SEN Reid Pulls Controversial $1.2 Trillion Spending

DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH YET... UNTIL THEY ALL GO HOME ON BREAK. I CAN'T TRUST THESE HONORABLE CONGRESSMAN AS LONG AS THEY SIT IN LEGISLATION, PLANNING  THEIR SELFISH DESIRES AND OUR ULTIMATE DEMISE.

Majority Leader Harry Reid, bowing to Republican opposition to a 1,924-page $1.2 trillion spending measure packed with earmarks, withdrew the bill and said he would work with Republican leaders on a smaller, short-term budget fix to avoid a looming government shutdown.

 

Republicans had strongly condemned the $1.27 trillion omnibus spending bill, which would fund the government through Sept. 30, for its $8.3 billion worth of earmarks -- some of which belong to Republicans.

Such arguments, however, have been drowned out by protests from Tea Party activists and other opponents of the projects, who make fun of earmarks like $100,000 obtained by Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., to renovate the Edgar Allan Poe museum in the Bronx, a cottage where the poet lived for the final three years of his life.

Other senators with earmarks in the bill after voting last month to ban them include Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; Richard Burr, R-N.C.; Kay Baily Hutchison, R-Texas; Bill Nelson, D-Fla.; and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

Even avid earmarker Thad Cochran of Mississippi, the top Republican on the Appropriations Committee -- who obtained almost 300 earmarks totaling more than $500 million -- hasn't explicitly come out in support of the bill, though he's widely expected to vote with Democrats later this week to advance it.

So is Ohio Republican George Voinovich, who's responsible, along with Democratic homestate colleague Sherrod Brown, for 77 earmarks totaling $94 million.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/12/16/senate-scrambles-avoid-government-shutdown-gop-forces-read-thon/


WASHINGTON (AP)—The top Senate Republican has offered a one-page bill to prevent a government shutdown on Saturday as an alternative to a 1,924-page catchall spending measure offered by Democrats.
Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell says it's unbelievable that Democrats want to pass the measure in just a few days as Christmas approaches. He says Congress should pass a less costly bill next year—when Republicans will have more leverage.
McConnell had earlier quietly backed the effort to produce the nearly $1.3 trillion bill, but he's now trying to kill it. McConnell also obtained $85 million in so-called earmarks for Kentucky.
Democrats say they'll take up the bill later Thursday. It bankrolls every Cabinet agency for the budget year that started Oct. 1.

SENATORS!!! WHY RUSH THIS BILL? READ THE "OMNIBUS" LEGISLATION

IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY THAT EVERY BILL OUGHT TO BE READ. IF THEY CONTINUOUSLY ADOPT LEGISLATURE OF 2000 PAGES THEN THEY BETTER READ THE BILL BEFORE VOTING ON IT. MAYBE JUST MAYBE THEY WILL REALIZE HOW IMPOSSIBLE THESE LEGISLATION AND MAYBE ALL LEGISLATION WILL BE NO MORE THAN 20 PAGE LONG SIMILAR TO OUR CONSTITUTION.


Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said he was currently in the process of reading through the measure, noting that it was nearly 2,000 pages long.
“We’re certainly in the process of doing that right now,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday. “It’s a lengthy bill – 1,924 pages long – and we’re going through it as others have and discovering a lot of bad stuff in the bill.”

Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) also said he was currently trying to read through the bill and would be working to read through the entire measure before it comes up for a vote.
“I’m going to read as much of it as I possibly can,” Levin said. “If I’m lucky, I’ll read all of it, if I have enough time. And I’m working hard to get the time because it’s important that we read these bills.”
On Tuesday, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) told the Senate that he and other Republicans would work “to ensure that every single word of this bill is read aloud here on the Senate floor.”
McCain and others have criticized drafters for including well over 6,000 earmarks in the bill, worth more than $8 billion.

FOR ANY SENATOR WHO WANTS TO SPEND RECKLESSLY, LET THEM USE THEIR OWN MONIES AND WILL SEE HOW FAST THEY WILL STOP.


Preparing for a final showdown on the massive $1.1 trillion spending bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid defended the thousands of earmarks in the measure as the basic function of Congress.
"That's our job. That's what we're supposed to do," Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, said as he chastised fellow senators who, while having requested pork-barrel spending earlier this year, are now decrying their inclusion in the spending bill.
Mr. Reid challenged those senators to voluntarily agree to strip their own earmarks out of the bill, and said so far, nobody has taken him up on that.
Earmarks are just one of the fights that have broken out over the 1,924-page spending bill, which Democrats unveiled this week and have said they'll soon push to have lawmakers vote on.

"This bill is so enormous, it took the government printing office two days to print it. It spends more than half a billion dollars a page," he said.

 Porkie Pig Sen Reid is passing the blame again even though this is exactly his plan to sneak all this legislation at the very last minute. 
“I don’t need to hear the sanctimonious lectures of Sens. Kyl and DeMint to remind me of what Christmas means,” Reid said during a Senate floor speech Wednesday afternoon.
 “My question, Madam President, is where were their concerns about Christmas as we’ve had filibuster after filibuster on major pieces of legislation during this entire Congress,” said Reid, who accused Republicans of deploying the tactic 87 times."
“These are additional days of wasted time we could be using to pass legislation to get home for the holidays,” Reid said. “Yet some of my Republican colleagues have the nerve to whine about having to stay and actually do the work of the American people.”

Well this Senator had 60 Democrats and plus RINOs in 2010 and he still could not pass these bills except when he buys them off.

THE ELITES VIEW OF WE THE PEOPLE REFLECTED ON PALIN

 IF PALIN IS VIEWED AS ANTI-INTELLECTUAL, HOW ARE WE VIEWED BY THE SAME ELITEST WHO SHOVES THEIR DESTROYING POLICIES INTO US.

Meanwhile, the segment of the country that Palin respects least, Washington, D.C. elites, continues to be the one that supports her least. A new Politico poll shows that just 11 percent of the capital’s elites believe Palin is qualified to be president. That compares with 23 percent for the country as a whole.

“Palin is a populist-oriented phenomenon drawn heavily from lower middle-class voters, but she also deliberately comes off as anti-intellectual and anti-Washington, so it is no surprise she does not play in the Beltway,” says Mark Penn, CEO of the polling firm Penn Schoen Berland, which conducted the survey. “Elites almost everywhere are turned off by her and some of the very things she does that attract her core support.”

99ers Crisis About to Get Much Worse

December 14, 2010 - by Donny Shaw

I’ve been trying to make the point that the 99er problem — people exhausting all unemployment benefits without finding a job — is about to get much worse because we’re approaching 99 weeks from the brunt of the recession unemployment spike. Congress is not planning to add more weeks of unemployment benefits and the Federal Reserve is projecting the unemployment rate to stay pretty much where it is for the next year. Putting it all together, this means that for the foreseeable future, there will no jobs and no government support for the millions of 99ers.
This graph from Calculated Risk showing three years of job losses makes it very clear — millions of people who lost their jobs in the deepest part of the recession are about to be dropped off a cliff:

COME AND GET IT WHILE YOU CAN 1.1TRILLION SPENDING

 THE OMNIBUS BUDGET IS ALIVE BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE DEARLY DEPARTING SENATE:
Senate Democrats have filed a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill that would fund the government through fiscal year 2011, according to Senate GOP sources.

The 1,924-page bill includes funding to implement the sweeping healthcare reform bill Congress passed earlier this year as well as additional funds for Internal Revenue Service agents, according to a senior GOP aide familiar with the legislation. (LIKELY IN TRAINING THEM NOW FOR BHOCARE IN 2014 TO GO AFTER THE PEOPLE).

"The attempt by Democrat leadership to rush through a nearly 2,000-page spending bill in the final days of the lame-duck session ignores the clear will expressed by the voters this past election," Thune said in a statement. "This bill is loaded up with pork projects and should not get a vote. Congress should listen to the American people and stop this reckless spending.”

GOP Sens. Kit Bond (Mo.), George Voinovich (Ohio) and Susan Collins (Maine) also told The Hill on Tuesday they would consider voting for the omnibus but want to review it before making a final decision.

Retiring Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah)  said earmarks in the bill might give some of his GOP colleagues reason to hesitate but wouldn’t affect his vote.

NEW CENSUS ESTIMATES 303Million to 313Million US population

WASHINGTON –  Census surprise? The government provided new estimates Monday showing the U.S. population grew to somewhere between roughly 306 million and 313 million over the last decade, acknowledging uncertainty due to rapid shifts in immigration.

So this means with a 10% unemployment, 30million of us are unemployed. Merry Christmas everyone. The cavalry is coming to straighten this all out.

WE WILL REMEMBER LAKIN

WASHINGTON – Defense attorney Neal Puckett acknowledges chances of acquittal for Army Lt. Col. Terry Lakin are remote, so he's shifting to a new battleground: limiting the punishment.
Lakin's court martial begins today at Ft. Meade, Maryland, and Puckett will be trying to persuade the jury to view Lakin as a man of principle, not as a disobedient soldier.

ALL THE BEST AND A SPEEDY TRIAL WITH A FAVORABLE OUTCOME!!!!!

SARAH PALIN - ENDORSE PAUL RYANS BUDGET

Of course, as has been obvious for 2 years, the GOP has no respect for Palin. It even borders on hate or disdain. They disdain her because they believe she won a lotto ticket when McCain put her in the spotlight, (which she did). They hate her because she is popular and uncontrollable, also true. They disdain her because they believe she is vain and self absorbed —I disagree—but certainly no more so than other candidates. They hate her because they think she is stupid. This implies those who say so are smart. To quote Steely Dan from “Reelin’ in the Years”—“you’ve been telling me you were a genius since you were seventeen, and all this time I’ve known you, I still don’t know what you mean”. This obsession with “smart” and politics is the ultimate misunderstood red herring. Finally, and most of all, they hate her because they think she will lose—which only an election can determine.


http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/12/13/why-the-gop-fears-sarah-palin/


In my view, a better plan is the Roadmap for America's Future produced by Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wisc.). The Roadmap offers a reliable path to long-term solvency for our entitlement programs, and it does so by encouraging personal responsibility and independence.

The Roadmap would also replace our high and anticompetitive corporate income tax with a business consumption tax of just 8.5%. The overall tax burden would be limited to 19% of GDP (compared to 21% under the deficit commission's proposals). Beyond that, Rep. Ryan proposes fundamental reform of Medicare for those under 55 by turning the current benefit into a voucher with which people can purchase their own care.

BARBARA WA WA WA WA WA CRIES OUT WITH COHORTS

 HERE'S A REAL MAN IF OPRAH WOULD HAVE A SAY AT THIS HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOO. BUT THEN NOTHING COMING FROM OPRAH IS BELIEVABLE ANYWAY NOW A DAYS. BOEHNER HAS FEELINGS AND NOT SOME COLD HEARTED MANDAME LIKE THE CURRENT SPEAKER WHO WOULD THROW US TO THE WOLVES IF SHE HAD HER WAYS.

Whoopi Goldberg imitated him. Sherri Shepherd* clapped. Joy Behar cackled. Barbara Walters said he has an “emotional problem.” That’s how a majority of “The View” hosts treated John Boehner‘s candid emotions on Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” interview.
“This guy has an emotional problem,” Walters said of Boehner on Monday’s show. “Every time he talks about anything that‘s not ’raise taxes,’ he cries.” Boehner cried multiple times during the interview, including when talking about young kids and the American dream.
Earlier, Whoopi Goldberg mocked Boehner by pretending to cry while describing the interview. Joy Behar then went on to call him a hypocrite for being a self-made man but not having empathy for the middle class. That seems an odd statement considering the recent tax compromise between the president and congressional Republicans included tax rate extensions for all Americans.
The only host to defend Boehner was conservative Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
“Let’s not crucify a man for getting emotional,” Hasselbeck said. “He’s probably a fine man who cares and if he wants to give small businesses tax breaks so they can hire somebody so they can have a job…you can‘t just brush him like that and say that he’s a bad guy.”

BHOCARE TWO(2) FED JUDGE UPHELD TO ONE (1) REJECT

SO THE RUNNING TOTAL IS 2 LIBERAL FED JUDGE TO 1 CONSERVATIVE JUDGE RULING ON BHOCARE.

U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson is the first federal judge to strike down the law, which two others in Virginia and Michigan have upheld. Several other lawsuits have been dismissed and others are pending, including one 20 other states have joined in a Florida filing.
READ THE RULING:http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/Virginia_ACA_Order.pdf
Virginia Republican Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli filed a separate lawsuit in defense of a new state law that prohibits the government from forcing state residents to buy health insurance. However, the key issue was his claim that the federal law's requirement that citizens buy health insurance or pay a penalty is unconstitutional.

The central issue in Virginia's lawsuit was whether the federal government has the power under the constitution to impose the insurance requirement. The Justice Department said the mandate is a proper exercise of the government's authority under the Commerce Clause.
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/JudgeRejectsObamaHealthcare/2010/12/13/id/379789

TO UNDERSTAND THIS COMMERCE CLAUSE. FIRST HERE'S WHAT THE CONSTITUTION STATES:
Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the Constitution – the “Interstate Commerce Clause.

Article I

Section. 8.
Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Clause 2:To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes;

According to Constitutional scholar Randy Barnett, the original meaning of “commerce” was limited to the “trade and exchange” of goods and transportation for this purpose. The original meaning of “to regulate” generally meant “to make regular” -that is, to specify how an activity may be transacted-when applied to domestic commerce, but when applied to foreign trade also included the power to make “prohibitory regulations.” “Among the several States” meant between persons of one state and another.

THIS MEANS THE FED CANNOT FORCE A PERSON TO BUY BY FORCE OR FINES WHICH THEY CAN WITH BHOCARE.

 Laws of the federal government are to be supreme in all matters pursuant to the delegated powers of U.S. Constitution.  When D.C. enacts laws outside those powers, state laws trump. And, as Thomas Jefferson would say, when the federal government assumes powers not delegated to it, those acts are “unathoritative, void, and of no force” from the outset.

In the Virginia Resolution of 1798, James Madison wrote of the principle of interposition:

That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.

SO THEN  LAWS NOT BOUND BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE THEN BECOME STATE RIGHTS PER AMENDMENT X.
 Amendment X.
(Ratified December 15, 1791)
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

TSA AND THE PEDOPHILES TIES

WHEN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT BELIEVES & DIVES INTO KINSEY. WE ARE NO LONGER SAFE FROM OUR OWN GOVERNMENT.
Alfred Kinsey corrupted an entire generation by presenting "findings" that children were sexual from birth and vast numbers of citizens engaged in illicit sex.

Critics say TSA comment 'opens door to pedophiles'

Children's advocates warn touching kids not a 'game'

The comment was from James Marchand, who was serving as TSA director in Houston, over an apparently aggressive pat-down of a 3-year-old child that left the little one screaming, "Don't touch me!"

Marchand, in his explanation at the time, said, "You try to make it as best you can for that child to come through. If you can come up with some kind of a game to play with a child, it makes it a lot easier."

"Grooming is a process of desensitization that predators use on children to prepare and trick them into accepting sexual abuse. Once the predator has gained the child's trust and confidence, they use everyday behaviors, like telling an inappropriate joke, a touch on the upper arm that lingers a little too long or a kiss on the lips to test whether your child is likely to tell on them. If the perpetrator is satisfied that your child won't tell, the predator moves onto other forms of bad touching. If the child still doesn't tell, then the abuse continues along the continuum…"

 "The pedophile 'grooming' process made into international training. With congressmen lusting over Playboy on the airplane, hundreds of Pentagon officials downloading child pornography, an university officials 'objectively' wanting child pornography made legal, who is going to be left in our society to understand what normal, moral sexual conduct is all about?"

THE LIES THAT ALLOWS TSA MORE GROPING POWERS

WAS SCANNERS REALLY NECESSARY  TO SUPPRESS OUR 4th AMENDMENT.

A new peer-reviewed journal article by a pair of University of California-San Francisco researchers reveals that the TSA’s new x-ray body scanners may not be as safe as the government agency wants the public to think. In fact, the scanners might not even detect pancake-sized bombs containing PETN, the explosive used in the failed “underwear bomb” last Christmas.

According to Leon Kaufman and Joseph W. Carlson in the Journal of Transportation Security, the scanners could miss PETN bombs if they were taped to a person’s body in a flattened, rounded manner.

The researches write about their findings in the article “An evaluation of airport x-ray backscatter units based on image characteristics.”

From the introduction:

    We show that the body is exposed throughout to the incident x-rays, and that although images can be made at the exposure levels claimed (under 100 nanoGrey per view), detection of contraband can be foiled in these systems. Because front and back views are obtained, low Z materials can only be reliable detected if they are packed outside the sides of the body or with hard edges, while high Z materials are well seen when placed in front or back of the body, but not to the sides. Even if exposure were to be increased significantly, normal anatomy would make a dangerous amount of plastic explosive with tapered edges difficult if not impossible to detect. [Emphasis added]

The article goes on to explain the pancake explosive theory:

    It is very likely that a large (15–20 cm in diameter), irregularly-shaped, cm-thick pancake with beveled edges, taped to the abdomen, would be invisible to this technology, ironically, because of its large volume, since it is easily confused with normal anatomy. Thus, a third of a kilo of PETN, easily picked up in a competent pat down, would be missed by backscatter “high technology”. Forty grams of PETN, a purportedly dangerous amount, would fit in a 1.25 mm-thick pancake of the dimensions simulated here and be virtually invisible. Packed in a compact mode, say, a 1 cm×4 cm×5 cm brick, it would be detected.

The article, as is common in journals, is rather technical. But the conclusion remains: the “backscatter” technology has its limits and its loopholes, and may not be the savior of airport security.

The Washington Times goes as far as to call the new scanners a “fraud” in an editorial last week.

“Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano insists the public should trust her when she says the expensive airport scanners are safe and effective,” the editorial says. “Until now, there has been no way to verify this claim because the TSA and the scanner manufacturers have cloaked key operational data behind a veil of purported ‘national security.’”

It continues:

    The researchers pointed out that the manufacturers of airport scanners positioned contraband like guns, knives and drugs in unnatural ways to conceal the limitations of their device. For example, the simulated drugs are always packed into tight rectangles that show up distinctly on the machine. TSA employees would have a far more difficult time spotting less tidy terrorists. “The eye is a good signal averager at certain spatial frequencies, but it is doubtful that an operator can be trained to detect these differences unless the material is hard-edged, not too large and regular shaped,” Mr. Kaufman and Mr. Carlson wrote.

The editors’ conclusion calls for the scanners to be scrapped:
    In the end, this false sense of security creates a blindness that real terrorists will exploit. Continuing to rely on this fundamentally flawed technological crutch makes air travel more dangerous. The plug must be pulled on these invasive and ineffective machines.

THE HONORABLE SEN LEMIEUX

Outgoing U.S. Sen. George LeMieux says one thing in particular stunned him during his short 16 months in office. “People will often ask me what’s the most surprising thing about being a member of the United States Senate,” the Florida Republican says. “And the most surprising thing to me is the way this government spends your money. It is shocking.”

“We are funding the priorities of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s without any account as to whether or not they are still the priorities of this country,” he said.

The United States is like a family that has run up so much debt on credit cards that it no longer can make even minimum payments, LeMieux said.

The federal government spent $1.3 trillion more than it took in last year, and the country is almost $14 trillion in debt, LeMieux said. Forecasts put the national debt at $26 trillion by the end of the decade, and the interest payment on that debt will be $900 billion.

LeMieux plans to decide soon whether to challenge Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012. The fact that he has four small children weighs heavily on the decision, he said.

THE SOCIALIST WEINER SPEAKS.

A DEMOCRAT'S SOCIALIST VIEW OF WE THE PEOPLE. YOUR FAMILY IS NOT IMPORTANT BUT THE SOLE GOVERNMENT HAS MORE RIGHTS OVER YOUR WEALTH & PROPERTY AFTER DEATH.
Democrat Makes Case for 100% Death Tax
Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY) defended the confiscatory taxation of estates arguing that “dead people have no more need for money. Look, everybody knows ‘you can’t take it with you’ when you die. So it’s a question of who gets your money when you do.”
Weiner contended that the deceased’s heirs don’t deserve it. “They didn’t earn it,” Weiner said. “They have no rightful claim. The fact that the person who died wanted them to have it is irrelevant. A dead person’s wishes have no moral or legal authority in the disposition of assets he no longer needs.”
“Rather than allow an unelected private person to determine how these assets will be used after his death,” Weiner continued, “it seems more just that the people’s elected representatives take control to ensure a more equitable distribution. There are many socially warranted programs that are under-funded. These have got to take precedence over the selfish desires of heirs to continue the family business.”
