At what point in time will the American people realize they no longer control their federal government and move to restore the proper control to DC?
With the betrayal of the Constitution and of our federal system by the SCOTUS in the Obamacare ruling, with Roberts leading the way, is there any end to what the federal government can do to the states, to the people, or to the Constitution.
Roberts used the power of Congress to tax as the rationale for his ruling. Yet the Constitution requires, requires, that tax laws MUST originate in the US House. Obamacare does not meet that requirement since it was cobbled together behind closed doors in Dingy Harry Reid's office late at night. On this ground alone Roberts should have ruled the law unconstitutional!
However, it appears Roberts is more concerned about his standing in the DC establisment, what the Leftys and Liberals would say to him at the Georgetown cocktail parties, and how the Washington Post and the NY Times view him.
As the liberal media loves to say, "Roberts grew into his office"
Translation:
Roberts agrees with the liberal media.
Send $$ to The Tea Party.
It may be our last hope.

The Death of Federalism
...... killed by a 5-4 vote of the Supreme Court today.
SCOTUS upheld the constitutionality of Obamacare with Chief Justice Roberts siding with the socialists and writing the opinion. Roberts evaded the Commerce clause justification using instead the power of Congress to tax as the reason the law met his approval.
Obama declared numerous times in the past two years that the law would not raise taxes. I guess he was wrong on that point. So now if Congress decides it wants people to buy a certain product and they do not, then Congress has the power to "Tax" them for not buying that product.
Man! Just think of the possibilities here for Congress to raise funds to implement their pet projects and to take care of their friends.
Long live Federalism.
If you do not know and appreciate our Federalist system, such as it is after this disaster, shame on you.

Dumb....
... is anyone who reads Newsweek or any of the other rags posing as 'News" sources.
They are not news sources.
They are propaganda machines for the Left.
They are corrupt, dishonest, biased, ill-informed, ill-educated, and part of the problem we face in this country.
What the country needs is not a 5 cent cigar, but a few newspapers and "news" magazines worth a nickel cigar.
Fat chance we'll ever have that!

Smoke, Mirrows, and Lies
Get ready!
Another blast of smoke, mirrows and lies from the Obama campaign will consume the nation in the coming months as Obama tries to fool, deceive, and lie to enough Americans to stay in office. That is his only chance.
Obama cannot run on the economy.
Obama cannot run on jobs.
Obama cannot run on any aspect of his four years in the White House. It has been a disaster from the start.
And I think that is what was intended. Obama and his lefties want all of us dependent upon him and the federal government.
That is why Newt correctly called Obama the Food Stamp President.

The Super Committee...
Failed.
No surprise there since it was doomed to fail anyway.
Congress passed the proverbial buck to this "super committee" made up of assorted Members of Congress equally divided between the political parties. What made Congress and the president think this committee would reach an agreement on reducing federal spending when the president and Congress cannot pass a simple budget on time? Obama wants an issue to divide the country on economic lines and Congress cannot agree on reducing federal spending or how to best increase revenues without furthing damaging the failing economy.What to do?
The people must wake up. When half of Americans pay no federal income tax and receive transfer payments from the half that pays federal income taxes, then we get stalemate. Just like Greece there are millons of Americans who have been told by liberal Democrats for the past 50 years they can have something for nothing (aka buying votes). What happens when the non-paying half become the 75%? How long will tax paying working Americans tolerate this redistribution scheme?
Greece is coming unless we change our ways as a nation.
Under Obama the federal debt has increased more that 50% in less than 3 years!
How long can we stay afloat with that level of deficit spending?
2012 is coming.
Pray for God's guidance.

Occupy.....
...is Obama's latest move to win re-election, to move the nation further to the political Left, and to increase the dependent class of people in our Nation. The unwashed troops on the streets of our cities are Obama's base, his shock troops, comprised of the naive, the under educated, the ill-informed, and the professional agitators made up of community organizers and assorted union workers (enforcers or thugs). Most of these folks cannot explain why they are on the streets. There have been many crimes committed by these people: rapes, robberies, muggings, and other serious felonies.
Yet the media, most of the media, refuse to report or cover these serious crimes and since the people at the media organizations agree with the few on the streets, they refuse to give honest coverage of the occupy cult.
It is a cult of personality: of Obama. Our mystery president.
More to come

Executive Orders OR Faqwas
President Obama is issuing numerous Executive Orders, what I call Faqwas, to bypass the Congress.
Obama cannot convince Congress, cannot convince even many in his own political party, to adopt his policies. So to get around Congress he is using his power, such as it is, to issue fiats, Executive Orders, aka Faqwas in many parts of the world, to order federal agencies to implement his ideas.
So where are the court challenges?
Is it constitutional for a president to bypass Congress in this manner?
