Ignoring Physical & Moral Laws is Dangerous Make Believe

Separation of Church & State?  Yes...
God & Government?  No!

"Under the true, original American View of law and government, all law, and therefore all rights, originate in God.
Therefore, what is not in accord with God's Law is not law.
The acknowledgement of this first principle of law and government is foundational to our lives and to our liberties."

A NATION IN DECLINE

by Burt Prelutsky
Wednesday, December 18, 2013

When people used to say "Only in America," they intended it as praise, highlighting the promise that anyone – no matter his religion, his nation of origin or the circumstances into which he was born – could succeed in America beyond anyone's expectation. But when you see a Marxist slacker like Obama twice elected to the highest office in the land, the words take on a cynical connotation, and are definitely no longer a compliment.

Speaking of Obama, it recently occurred to me that Obama's grandparents did as rotten a job raising him, a lazy, pot-smoking, punk as they did raising his mother, their daughter, a certified dingbat with round heels and a flat head, who made a habit of looking for love, as the country song once put it, in all the wrong places.

As a result, it's no surprise that Obama has shown far greater compassion for a handful of Democrats up for re-election next November than for the millions of Americans who have lost their health insurance. It continues to shock me that so many people still refuse to acknowledge that when he swore to fundamentally transform America, he fully intended to change America from being the shining city on the hill to being just one more unexceptional third world slum.

I have generally objected to presidential debates because I think they are a waste of time. For one thing, it is too easy for the moderators, who are generally liberals, to tip the balance, as Candy Crowley did in 2012 by siding with Obama when he was, as usual, lying about the Benghazi massacre; but also because debating skills are about as important to a president as the ability to play the accordion or knit a sweater. Once elected, the only person he's ever likely to debate is his wife, and not even Ms. Crowley can save him there.

Speaking of presidential debates, considering the way that Obama has flip-flopped on such matters as same-sex marriages, the federal debt, the Patriot Act, the war in Afghanistan and the Senate's nuclear option, a far livelier debate than any of those between Obama and Romney would have been one between Obama and himself.

That being said, thanks to Obama, things that were previously regarded as non-partisan – federal departments such as the IRS, the Justice Department and the Census Bureau –are merely adjuncts to the DNC, ready at a moment's notice to do anything asked of them by this sleazy administration. As a result, they are now about as non-partisan as Jay Carney, David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett.

Although the media has reported on the dismal rollout of ObamaCare, you can tell they didn't have their heart in it. That's why most of them were delighted to promote any narrative, no matter how bizarre, that he and his stooges concocted. For instance, even though it's the Affordable Care Act that forced insurance companies to cancel individual policies, reporters and left-wing pundits were only too happy to tie a tin can to the insurance industry and blame them for the inevitable chaos.

On the chance that notion didn't fly, the White House was ready with the excuse that the rollout would have been as smooth as glass if only those darn Obstructionists, formerly known as Republicans, hadn't sabotaged the computer program.

If the Democrats keep it up, I may have to seek a restraining order against them. I feel as if I'm being stalked. Every time I turn on my computer, there's yet another email from some mucky-muck in the party, each one addressed to "Friend." Frankly, I had barely gotten used to hearing from all my friends in Nigeria, who wanted nothing more out of life than to send me millions of dollars. But now I find that in spite of all the nasty things I've written about liberals, even Barack Obama, Dick Durbin and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, are ready to forgive and forget.

Even Harry Reid is ready to smoke the peace pipe. In November, he wrote simply to explain why he had exploded the nuclear option on the floor of the U.S. Senate, blowing up over two centuries worth of tradition. "Last Thursday," he wrote, "Democrats stood up to reform the filibuster because we believe in democracy, not obstruction."

Because it's not my way to spit in the eye of someone who sincerely seeks my friendship, I didn't write back to remind him that a few short years ago when the Republicans were in the majority and merely toying with the idea of utilizing the nuclear option, he had grumbled: "What they are attempting to do in this instance is really too bad. It will change this body forever. We will simply be an extension of the House of Representatives, where a simple majority can determine everything."

As I see it, the real problem with the nuclear option is that, alas, it was merely a catchy term. If it had actually been an explosive device, we might finally have come up with a way to introduce long over-due term limits to Washington.

Children's Christmas Letters to Megyn Kelly

Dear Megyn Kelly,

For Christmas, could I please have a black Power Ranger? Thank you.

Sincerely,

Bobby, age six

***

Dear Bobby,

Unfortunately, we do not have any Power Rangers in stock in the color you requested. Colors available include: white.

Merry Christmas,

Megyn Kelly

P.S.: Bobby, because you're only six, you probably don't know this, but when you use the words "black" and "power" together, they become swear words. Never say that again.

***

Dear Megyn Kelly,

For Christmas, I would please like a white My Little Pony.

Sincerely,

Jessica, age five

***

Dear Jessica,

I just checked, and we do have a My Little Pony in the color you requested. However, I see from the postmark on your letter that you live in the South Bronx. Sorry! Megyn Kelly's sleigh does not deliver there.

Merry Christmas,

Megyn Kelly

***

Dear Megyn Kelly,

My big brother says you're not real, and I say you are. Who's right?

Sincerely,

Madison, age four
***

Dear Madison,

If you believe in Megyn Kelly in your heart, then Megyn Kelly is real. On the other hand, if you don't believe in Megyn Kelly, then you're not real. That means your brother doesn't exist, so stop talking to him.

Merry Christmas,

Megyn Kelly

***

Dear Megyn Kelly,

What color is the President?

Sincerely,

Cody, age five
***

Dear Cody,

Historians are in agreement that a real President is always white. He just is. Now, some people like to make believe that President Obama is a real President, and they get really upset when they learn the truth. Here's what Megyn Kelly thinks: if you believe in your heart that President Obama is President, he still isn't.

Merry Christmas,

Megyn Kelly

***

Dear Megyn Kelly,

For Christmas, could I please have a black Power Ranger? Thank you.

Sincerely,

Bobby, age six

Dear Bobby,

I already warned you never to say that. Now I'm contacting the police.

Merry Christmas,

Megyn Kelly

OPS Obuma Pardons Top Dem Ally Deval Patrick's Crack Dealer Cousin

(Even better, they're claiming it was just a coincidence)

Via Boston Herald:
http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_politics/2013/12/obama_frees_deval_patricks_cousin_20_others

Gov. Deval Patrick's convicted drug dealer cousin was among eight people whose hefty sentences were commuted yesterday by President Obama, who cited a disparity in penalties for crack cocaine.

Reynolds Allen Wintersmith Jr., 39, is serving a life sentence for drug trafficking and has been imprisoned since 1994.

Patrick's office said in a statement: "Mr. Wintersmith is the Governor's first cousin. The Governor has no recollection of meeting Mr. Wintersmith (they are quite far apart in age), and believes that if they did meet it would have been when Mr. Wintersmith was a small boy. The Governor was not involved in any application for a commutation of Mr. Wintersmith's sentence, and only learned of the commutation through today's media reports.

Wintersmith's case had been adopted by advocates and crusading attorneys. All eight inmates were sentenced under old federal guidelines that treated convictions for crack cocaine offenses more harshly than those involving the powder form of the drug. Obama also pardoned 13 others for various crimes.

Navy Sailors Suffer Illnesses, Cancers After Helping
Near Fukushima Plant After Tsunami

Via Fox News:
More on this at: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/20/sickened-by-service-more-us-sailors-claim-cancer-from-helping-at-fukushima/

When the USS Ronald Reagan responded to the tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011, Navy sailors including Quartermaster Maurice Enis gladly pitched in with rescue efforts.

But months later, while still serving aboard the aircraft carrier, he began to notice strange lumps all over his body. Testing revealed he'd been poisoned with radiation, and his illness would get worse. And his fiance and fellow Reagan quartermaster, Jamie Plym, who also spent several months helping near the Fukushima nuclear power plant, also began to develop frightening symptoms, including chronic bronchitis and hemorrhaging.

"I get so angry. They said as long as the plume was avoided we would be fine."
- Navy sailor Jamie Plym

They and 49 other U.S. Navy members who served aboard the Reagan and sister ship the USS Essex now trace illnesses including thyroid and testicular cancers, leukemia and brain tumors to the time spent aboard the massive ship, whose desalination system pulled in seawater that was used for drinking, cooking and bathing. In a lawsuit filed against Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the plaintiffs claim the power company delayed telling the U.S. Navy the tsunami had caused a nuclear meltdown, sending huge amounts of contaminated water into the sea and, ultimately, into the ship's water system.

Poll: Only 29% Have Favorable Opinion of The Federal Government

(Odds that 29% votes Demo-rat)

Via Rasmussen:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/december_2013/29_have_favorable_opinion_of_federal_government

Unfavorable views of the federal government continue to climb.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of Likely U.S. Voters now view the federal government at least somewhat unfavorably. That's up from 64% in October and 63% in November of last year. Just 29% view the feds favorably. This includes five percent (5%) who view the government Very Favorably and 29% who view it Very Unfavorably.
