Three Highly Esteemed Constitutional Experts Declare Obama’s Military Attack on Libya Unconstitution

Oh, the times they are a-changin'. Seems like just yesterday that when one nation aggressively amasses eleven U.S. naval ships, which include three submarines, two destroyers, and various sundries of amphibious and supply ships, in another nation's sea, starts launching missiles, rockets, and whatnot at said country, dispatches fighter jets on bombing missions around said country--especially the leader of said country's personal compound--receives return fire that downs a dispatched fighter jet, this was called a war.

No, WikiLeaks and Julian Assange Do Not Have 1st Amendment Protection of Freedom of Speech

Julian Assange is the proprietor, creator, and engineer of WikiLeaks, the incorporeal mechanism for disseminating stolen classified cables, documents, and videos owned by the United States government. Assange is not a journalist, he does not have a story, he does not write commentary, he does not supplement his pilfered images and videos with context; Assange is a computer hacker, thief, nomad, blackmailer, and a world-class nihilist devoid of allegiance to a country. He is an anthropological malignancy.

In Defense of Hillary Clinton Against the WikiLeaks, and Why She Should Resign

Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead--Benjamin Franklin In the days following the WikiLeaks release of illicitly appropriated documents from the State Department, Hillary Clinton, who is portrayed in the documents as the antagonist of righteousness, has been subjected to a plethora of calls to resign. Julian Assange, proprietor of the malignant WikiLeaks, is leading the charge for her resignation. Assange said to Time Magazine, "It's very important to remember the law is not what, not simply what, powerful people would want others to believe it is. The law is not what a general says it is. The law is not what Hillary Clinton says it is. She should resign."

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to You Your Government

Warning: Never, under any circumstance, confuse what the federal government has morphed into as representative of the heart and soul of the United States of America as long as this country is a free republic. It is one thing to rebuke the federal government, and another to rebuke this country.

Character, Leadership, and Barack Obama

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. --James D. Miles We all believe we have it. We profess our virtues because of it. We talk about it. We want others to believe we have it. We are comfortable displaying it if the threat of employing it is marginal. It is not for the morally languid, as the greater its strength, the greater the assumed responsibility.

Constitutional Scholar Single Handedly Redefines 1st Amendment Law

Rat-a-tat-tat. Rat-a-tat-tat. The bursts of the cerebral Uzi discharging are still ringing through the halls of constitutional intelligentsia. This random, awkward firing is not the literal discharge of machine gun projectiles, but rather the suspicious preteritions scattered about between the start and the end of the amorphous sentences of the ensuing constitutional masterpiece, by means of recreational ellipses.

Obama’s Problems with Running For President as a Messiah

Verily I say unto thee, Barack Obama was a spuriously manufactured, promoted, and peddled messiah, hustled from the back of the mountebank's wagon of the Left. Obama's political hari kari, other than being copiously unqualified, was buying into his own hype. Before taking the oath of office, he had already caused his standard to be set somewhere within the Trinity.

Barack Obama’s Auntie Zeituni is Not the Poster Child for Comprehensive Immigration Reform

If an entomologist were given the following characteristics--diverse in appearance, attaches to a host, easily overlooked, thousands of different species, benefits at the expense of the host, reduces the well-being of the host, exploits the host for food, habitat, and profit--then asked to classify the organism, the term “parasite” would be his/her immediate answer. But unbeknownst to the entomologist, the characteristics given to analyze were the characteristics of Barack Obama's Auntie Zeituni, parasite, or in non-entomological terms, a welfare queen.

Could Barack Obama be Insane? Plus, a Quiz!

If you are, as I am, a perusing cogitator of the Democratic Party's purveying of balderdash, then you most certainly have been left scratching your head in a state of bewilderment as to how a brain, or collective brains, larger than a walnut, could produce such poppycock outside an asylum for the maniacal. It's as if the entire collective Democratic Party and our dear President Obama have gnawed their way out of restraints, moved to Washington, DC, and set up shop.

The Incongruent Relationship between Settled Law and the Constitution

The Sketch Effect An artist sketches a young subject. During the session, the artist engages in conversation with the subject, observes the subject's mannerisms, and develops a sense of the subject's personality and characteristics. The finished work not only encompasses the physical exactness of the subject, but includes the artist's incorporation of the subject's characteristics as well.

Barack Obama in Search of Ass to Kick

Barack Obama, when unscripted, instinctively displays the tawdry substance that burdens his character. Obama seems overwhelmingly challenged with the obligation of displaying, at the least, a perfunctory element of noblesse oblilge. His latest fraudulent paroxysm regarding the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico:

Another Week, another Throng of Lies by Barack Obama

Barack Obama catered another all you can eat buffet of distortions topped with homegrown lies this past week. The question is: To whom is he lying? Who could possibly be left to listen? What character flaw would allow anyone to continue to listen, much less accept? What could possibly be sustaining this regime's core of chicanery built upon a sententious cycle of deceit and prevarication by Barack Obama? Another week in the books for Obama, another series of questions from the peanut gallery.

Why it is Patriotic to Side with Cities that Boycott Arizona

After carefully studying the Arizona immigration law, Senate Bill 1070, I have concluded that the bill is discriminatory, inequitable, unethical, and pregnant with racial profiling mandates. After an exhausting session of cogitating, examining, perusing, and pondering, this is the only conclusion available to this quasi-learned person.

San Francisco to Boycott the State of Arizona, What could go Wrong?

imageThe City of San Francisco is staging a boycott of the state of Arizona. What transgression might Arizona have committed to cause such a caustic and economically devastating amercement from San Francisco? They passed a state immigration law that mirrored a federal immigration law that has been on the books for over 50 years, and to the consternation of many, it is against the law to sneak across the border.

Why do Democrats Plan on Euthanizing between 180,000 and 405,000 Americans?

A Harvard study revealed that 45,000 Americans die each year because they do not have health insurance. "Having no health insurance means an early death to almost 45,000 people in the United States annually – almost two-and-a-half times the number previously estimated," according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health.
