OMG! Obama Drinks Water!

Just think, according to the left mouthpiece Lame Stream Media if this picture had been in circulation before the election he never would have been re-elected. This would have ruined his political career.

Disgrace I tell you, disgrace!

Let's Talk About The Evil Rich

What can you buy for $1.4 billion a year? You can buy the most luxurious and costly self proclaimed royal presidency in history.
Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.

In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.

Author Robert Keith Gray writes in Presidential Perks Gone Royal that Obama isn’t the only president to have taken advantage of the expensive trappings of his office. But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in.

Gray told The Daily Caller that the $1.4 billion spent on the Obama family last year is the total cost of the presidency, factoring the cost of the biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever, a 50 percent increase in the numbers of appointed czars and an Air Force One running with the frequency of a scheduled air line.

Perspective: $1.4 billion is equal to spending seven times Mitt Romney's entire net-worth every year. If Romney had to pay for Barack and Michelle's lifestyle this year, he would have been bankrupt by the third week in February.

Now, can we please get back to talking about the evil, freeloading rich, who didn’t build anything?

Blog Break

One Can Only Hope ...
I know I currently have over 80 followers but, after some investigation, it seems that only have about one or two actual active readers. Looks like a lot of people have "retired" from blogging. If anyone is listening, I am taking a short break from the blog unless something really interesting happens.

Nullification Of Unconstitutional Laws Encouraged By States

That Painful Feeling We All Share Is Real

I found this article in our local paper this morning and had to share. The writer expresses My Thoughts Exactly. My Thoughts noted thusly: [ ].

Nullification Encouraged

The Augusta Chronicle
Published: Waycross Journal-Herald, Monday, January 28, 2013

You may have heard the word "nullification" bandied about recently. It's basically a fancy word for ignoring a law.

Juries sometimes do it, if they think enforcement of a law will result in an injustice. [Actually, that's encouraged.] Merriam-Webster defines nullification as "the action of a state impeding or attempting to prevent the operation and enforcement within its territory of a law of the United States."

And now, increasing numbers of sheriffs and others across the country are publicly saying they will engage in nullification if faced by federal gun or health care laws they find unconstitutional. Ignoring laws is rarely a good thing. We'd say never – but we're reminded of Rosa Parks' and other civil rights icons' peaceful defiance of the immoral laws and customs of segregation.

An increasing number of folks are no less convinced that Washington is trampling on other civil rights. [Yah, think?!]

Sheriffs in Idaho, Oregon and Texas have announced their intent not to go along with expected gun control laws. Other officials have said they won't enforce the health care law. A state representative in Tennessee wants to make it a crime to enforce gun or ammunition bans in that state. And several hundred gathered at the South Carolina capitol recently for a "Nullify Obamacare" rally. They were promised efforts by several state officials to block "federal encroachment."

There's a proud tradition of states' rights in South Carolina – exemplified not that long ago by the light bulb. When federal law began phasing out production of the incandescent light bulb, South Carolina lawmakers passed "The Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act" to allow for its production and sale within the state, which Washington can't prevent.

But nullification has rarely seen this much favor since the Civil War, and may only gain steam if Washington continues down the path of trying to run [i.e. micro-manage] everyone's lives.

Washington may have no one but itself to blame for the rise of the nullification movement – particularly the Obama administration, which has set the standard for ignoring the law.

It was this administration, after all, that decided not to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act. Even though the "Dream Act" can't pass Congress, Mr. Obama "enacted" it via executive order – announcing that his administration would not deport illegal aliens who came here as minors. There is no such exception in the law.

His administration also announced that marijuana crimes would not be a "priority" – again, picking and choosing which laws to enforce.

When it appeared the defense industry might have to issue layoff notices to workers because of impending "sequestration" cuts just before the November election, the Obama administration encouraged contractors to ignore the law that seemed to require the notices. [Two can play at that game, Mr. "President".]

The Obama administration also tried to block enforcement of state anti-voter-fraud laws last year.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate has failed to pass a budget as required by law the past four years – and the Obama administration has announced it won't have a federal budget ready by the statutory deadline.

We don't endorse the ignoring of laws. But if there's a growing sentiment of defiance toward enforcement of federal laws in the land, Washington can't exactly throw stones.

It has perfected the art.

Amen to that!

And isn't it great To remember Who is really in control, and that; "the Word of the Lord endures forever." (1 Peter 1:25)

Abortion Murders More People Than Guns

The American Thinker has an excellent article by Peter Heck, "An Honest And Horrifying Admission"

One of the main reasons I have been telling people in speeches, in writing, and on my radio program that I truly believe we are living in the midst of the generation that will end abortion in America is embodied in Williams' piece. The anti-life left can no longer hide behind some murky confusion of what's happening in the womb. They can no longer candy-coat what they condone. They can no longer pretend there is some great mystery to when human life begins.

I concur! Life begins at conception. Period. End of statement. Even for those who don't believe in our blessed Lord and God have to acknowledge that abortion is the murder of another human being.

I say we ban the REAL threat to human life: politicians who don't believe in the sanctity of human life and abortion clinics.

Sounds like a plan?

Obama Appointments Are Unconstitutional

Poor widdle baby ...
A little good news today concerning our illegal President:

"In an embarrassing setback for President Barack Obama, a federal appeals court ruled Friday that he violated the Constitution [again] in making recess appointments last year, a decision that would severely curtail the president's ability to bypass the Senate to fill administration vacancies."

"If the ruling stands, it means that hundreds of decisions issued by the board over more than a year would be invalid. It also would leave the five-member labor board with just one validly appointed member, effectively shutting it down. The board is allowed to issue decisions only when it has at least three sitting members." [link]

Looks like REAL hope hasn't been banned after all! Have a good weekend y'all. I know I will.
