Well, John Bohener, what say you now?
Just last week, the Speaker of the House John Bohener admonished republicans not to “spike the football” should the Supreme Court strike down Obamacare.
As history recorded today, June 28, 2012, SCOTUS decided to destroy the United States Constitution and uphold the monstrosity that Obama’s legislation is.
The decision, 5-4, was made thanks to Chief Justice Roberts, who decided that it was more important to save his own political ass and vote in favor of a clearly unconstitutional statute.
But back to the stupid expression the media now are so happy to use: spiking the football, to indicate making a victory dance about some political victory.
Bohener, probably convinced that the Court would do the right thing and strike down the legislative Armageddon, was already preparing his troops to avoid any sort of celebratory expression.
Really, I am not sure what the problem would be to celebrate a victory for the American people, a victory for the Constitution and for American traditional principles, but surely I am not s sophisticated as Speaker Bohener.
But than the3re is the other side. As the news of the treasonous action of the Supreme Court was hitting the wires, Patrick Gaspard, Executive Director of the DNC, twitted the following:
It’s constitutional. Bitches.
He later twitted a left handed apology:
I let my scotus excitement get the better of me. In all seriousness, this is an important moment in improving the lives of all Americans."
Yes, in the spirit of NOT spiking the football, Mr. Gaspard was obviously euphoric about calling 67% of the American people BITCHES, effectively throwing in the face of the Speaker the reality of an enemy, and liberals are the enemy, that besides having little or no class at all, but they are also happy to achieve what the people clearly reject.
So much for taking the high road , uh Mr. Speaker?
While you and the other pussies in the Republican establishment are taking the high road, the enemy continues to WIN battles, effectively eroding every little bit of freedom we conservative have left.

Defeating Obamacare Is A Must
By Semperpapa
The whole country is awaiting the Supreme Court decision on the Obama health care reform known as Obamacare. The decision should be handed down tomorrow and there is a real need for the American people to hope that the monstrosity be stricken down and be sent to rest with all other Obama's failed non-achievements.
As the conservative radio environment has been demonstrating for long now, Obamacare has really nothing to do with health care, but it has all to do with the attempt of the tyrannical Obama and his liberal minions to take over one of the most important aspects of Ameican freedom.
We the People MUST insure that in any possible way, Obamacare is NOT implemented in the United States. Allowing such level of control on the part of the government on our lives is the first step toward the abolishment of the United States Constitution and therefore the disappearance of ALL our liberties.
The most tragic casualty of Obamacare would be the Second Amendment of the Constitution.
How long before the government would use medical coverage, over charging or removal of it all together, as a tool to punish the American people for owning firearms?
Simply put, if I own a gun, the government can come to me and force me to pay exorbitant amount of money to "protect" myself and those around me, from the danger my firearms represents. So my choices woold be top either pay punitive fines to the government (at the mercy of anti-American bureaucrats free to increase such fines at their pleasure), or just turn my guns into the government, which would be the precise goal of liberals.
So for all of you who believe that Obamacare is just the way to be compassionate and give medical coverage to all those poor people out there, let it sink in that the Obama types do not csare in the least about the poor people welfare as long as they keep on voting for the tyrant, but they only really care about controlling their lives and be able to decide their deaths.
So, it is my deep hope that SCOTUS will do what is right and judge the monstrosity unconstitutional as it deserve and free the people from such a dictatorial move.
But if SCOTUS fails the American people, then civil disobedience and public demonstrations should be used to safeguard the integrity of our Constitution.

Failure of Government and Exceptionalism of a Nation
By Semperpapa
I found this article this morning on the wire:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/06/20/army-vet-sells-achievement-medal-on-ebay-to-support-family/
At first glance, my blood pressure shot right up, not something I am happy about at 0400, but reading the whole article gave me pause and confirmation of what I have believed all my life: the grandiosity of a nation is in its people, not in its government.
In reading the whole piece, one can clearly understand that the above statement is true for this case and this Nation.
I am sure the liberal reader would come to the conclusion that the solution to Bill Shepard's problem is a more massive governmental bureaucracy. More programs and handouts would do the job, if we just tax the rich.
But in this case, it appears that the government program only went so far in providing Mr. Shepard with the necessary funds to support his family.
Moreover, just like the majority of Veterans I know, these men and women are not looking for a handout, but for the opportunity to make their way through life with dignity and independence.
The end of the article, though, gave me a much needed confidence boost, as the American people came out to do what they do best, from the large scale of helping victims of natural disasters around the world to the much smaller level of helping out a Vet in distress.
What it boils down to is that it is in our DNA to make sure those who are in need of help will receive such help. And for the majority of the American people, it becomes of even greater importance when the needy is one of those heroes who have stepped up to defend the Nation. And no, I do not feel uncomfortable in calling them heroes.
In this particular instance, what we see is the failure of a government which, as big and intrusive as it has become, is not helping the entrepreneurial spirit of this great nation, but instead stifling it into submission. Veterans like Bill Shepard, and civilians across the country, do not want a government program to take care of them. Instead they want the opportunity to succeed thanks to their personal abilities.
It is the government failure not to provide such opportunities by getting out of the way.
President Obama and his regime can boast support for our Veterans as much as they want, but the truth comes from actions, not empty words. As Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Obama should be more interested in creating an environment of growth and prosperity for these men and women separating from the Armed Forces. Many will be forced to remove the uniform only to join a civilian job market that is, at best, abysmal. Empty words do not provide employment.
And again, this particular instance shows that the average American is always willing to lend a hand to someone in need, via financial contribution or material help.
While politicians champion causes to pander to potential voters and maintain power, the common American does not champion causes, but instead champions the success of every American.
And in danger of disagreeing with Bill Maher, that is pretty exceptional in my book.
Just my thoughts!

Correlation Between Increased Gun Ownership And Lower Crime
By Semperpapa
This is a reality that the anti-gun left has been trying so feverishly to disprove, even as all the statistical indications are that the fact is exactly that, a fact: an armed society is a polite society.
Indisputable, really, as every report compiled by law enforcement agencies, both at local, state and federal level, have concluded that the increase in gun ownership, legal gun ownership, has a lowering effect on the rate of violent crime.
Last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a report stating that the violent crime in the United States has dropped once again, for the fifth year in a row. The difference between 2010 and 2011 was of 4%; even non-violent crime has dropped.
There is a constant that liberals do not like to bring up in discussing drop in criminal activity, because it involves the proven statistic of a corresponding increase in gun ownership among Americans.
One of the indexes of increase in the numbers of American citizens legally acquiring firearms can also be found at the FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System. This system is accessed by agencies across the nation every time someone purchases a gun legally.
In 2011 alone, Americans bought 16.5 additional weapons, according to NICS, and a definite record in the United States. In the first five months of this year, the NICS reports that the number of check for individuals buying a gun is up by 10% already.
Regardless of such bad news, the anti-gun crowd is not letting up on their attacks on the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution, because the agenda is very clear: abolish all guns and gun right of the American people.
The Utopian approach of such fools is that the abolition of gun ownership would eliminate the presence of firearms on the American streets.
As for every liberal agenda fight, the goal is to take rights away from law abiding citizens. Liberals do not like or approve of guns, so instead of just not owning one, they want everyone not to be able to own one. How typical is this.
But the numbers do not lie. when gun ownership increase, when legal gun rights are increased, criminals think about it twice before they engage in their favorite activities.
Why are gun shop never victims of robberies, even if they always have cash on hand and weapons?
Why are pawn shops dealing in valuable and weapons never victims of hold ups?
Simply, because the folks working in such establishments are notoriously armed.
In communities where carrying a weapons is allowed, or where CCW permits are given to law abiding citizens for the asking, criminal activities diminish. Why? Because armed citizens are less inclined to be victims and the criminal cannot know who is armed and who is not.
The well known liberalism of the current administration has had an unintentional result for gun ownership in America. President Obama has been called the best gun salesman in the country, because the radicalism of the President against the United States Constitution has triggered, forgive my semantic, a rush of Americans to gun shops, concerned by the possibility that the man would do anything in his power to destroy the 2nd Amendment if given the chance.
And Obama did take a chance with Fast and Furious.
Officially, the abominable operation was designed to place some weapons in the trafficking pipeline of the Mexican drug cartel and, by following the weapons, be able to get to the hearts of said cartels.
Of course, the moment these weapons were sold by American gun dealers with the blessing and even pressure of the federal government, tracking them failed. It took the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry to "connect the dots" (one of politicians favorite expression) when one of the sold guns was found to have been used for his killing.
In reality, Fast and Furious had as much to do with tracking Mexican drug cartels as intelligence has with Joe Biden. The operation was the behind-the-scenes operation from the White House and the Department of Justice attempt to create enough bloody killing across the border linked to American sold weapons, to raise national and international outrage to force the government to "do something" about the "gun problem" in the United States.
The "do something" was going to be the abolition of the 2nd Amendment and the path for the government confiscation of our firearms, to take away the "gun problem" from the American people.
The United Nations has been trying to intrude in the American constitutional right to own and bear arms for long now, and the developments in Mexico, should have they remained as covert as Obama and Holder wanted them to be, would have given a much needed boost to the anti-gun crusaders of America in their pursuit of their agenda.
What it comes down to is that it is only obvious that the idea of an armed encounter is a deterrent for criminal activities.
Last weekend in Chicago, as President Obama was attending his consiglierie Valery Jarrett's daughter's wedding. and while just that event drew away from duty at least 100 Chicago PD cops to protect the high profile "guests" of Jarrett, 7 people were shot and killed in the city.
Sure, not a new thing for Chicago, where violence reigns supreme. But worth noting is that in the first place, Obama spent many years as a political activist in that city, preaching government intrusion and refusal of personal responsibility, with the obvious results, and secondly Chicago has one of the most stringent anti-gun laws in the nation.
Just another sample of the reality that it is not preventing law abiding citizens to exercise their 2nd Amendment right that criminal activity is deterred. It is instead through the application of the existing anti crime law, while giving innocent people the chance to defend themselves.
That's freedom, something liberals abhor assiduously.

What's New In The United Kindom Of America
By Semperpapa
Nice to wake up this morning as a subject of King Obama and Queen Michelle. The June gloom keeping the air fresh and cool, just as the yoke of despotism keeps on tightening around our collective necks.
Fortunately, the mutual sucking up of Obama to Hollywood and Hollywood to Obama continues to awe those Americans who still believe that the lives of the "beautiful people" who pay $40,000 to sit down for dinner with Obama are the reality of our society.
But the real news about the United Kingdom of America is not related to the Life of the Rich and Obamas. They like to give the American people an illusion of relevance by calling all these fundraisers and campaign engagements (paid by taxpayers money, BTW), steps to insure that the re-election of Obama is what the commoners of America need.
Truthfully, between the union fraudulent actions in voting, the legalized voters' intimidation for the Black Panthers, federal law suits to prevent states from demanding voters' IDs, and federal bullying against states that want to check the legitimacy of voters' eligibility, Obama's re-crowning is almost assured.
The real news this morning is this:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/06/15/obama-administration-to-offer-immunity-to-younger-immigrants/
Yes, engaging in the favorite activity Obama likes to do besides golfing and pinning Americans against Americans, the King is once again legislating from the throne of the White House and trying to bypass the constitutional legislative power, Congress, and the will of the people.
Illegal aliens are going to receive amnesty, avoid deportation and, with some luck and tyranny on the part of Obama and Holder, will be able to insure that Obama gets his token re-election.
I am well aware of the reality that there is a core percentage of Americans who are not only fine with the Obama's cincunvention of the law, but they are supporting him and his minions.
But there are some Americans out there who are undecided. Undecided?
If you have a speck of personal integrity and adversity to tyranny, abuse of power, "in your face" elitism and love of country, it is impossible to remain undecided.
The alternative may not be perfect, but at this moment in history perfect is not what I am looking for, but the very survival of my country.

Can We Believe Anything Anymore?
By Semperpapa
Can anyone fault this writer if the level of confidence in the goodwill of Obama and Holder is slightly shaken?
With the risk of being called racist, and trying to give the sarcastic impression that I really care about that, I must say that I would not trust Obama or his water boy Holder to even have the integrity to save their own families if it interfered with power retention.
Obama wants that second term and Holder has created an environment of abuse of power so deep in the Dept. of Justice that trust has become a rare commodity around that neighborhood.
the latest on Fast and Furious is that Holder is appointing two U.S. Attorneys to investigate the very high level of classified information that has been leaked to the media from the White House.
Of the two attorneys, one of them is Ronald C. Machen, a former federal prosecutor that has just been nominated by president Obama to be the next U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia.
If that was not enough, the Washington Post reports that Machen is an habitual donor to various campaign of guess who? Yeah, Barak Hussein Obama.
Any of you tell me that is a coincidence, I say to drown yourself in the cool-aid.
Sen. Cornyn (R-Tx) was not impressed by Holder answer. Holder told Cornyn he trusted that Machen would be impartial in his investigation.
This is why I have so much contempt for these folks. An answer like that goes to prove that Holder is just thumbing his nose at the committee and the American people, that his audience is bunch of low level ignorant idiots and this cunning Attorney General does not have any problems running his little empire in the service of the One.
How smug is this man? Well as he was being questioned about Fast and Furious, he stated that he "stuck to his guns", surely a sarcastic innuendo that the family of Brian Terry can really appreciate.
Sen. Cornyn even told Holder in his face that he was joining the ranks of those who are asking for Holder resignation. It would be about damn time.

All the above died in the last two weeks serving our country. The media is telling us that Obama is having a real bad couple of weeks, because finally, in the words of the immortal Rev. Wright, seems like Obama's chickens have come home to roost.
I think of the families of these American Heroes and I hope you will forgive me if I don't feel sorry for the Thug-in-Chief because the pleasure of rubbing elbows with the Hollywood scum was tarnished by the evolving scandals that are coming out from every crack of this administration.
To all the above Heroes, my deepest gratitude. To their families my heart felt condolences. To Obama...go screw yourself, with all due respect, of course.
