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.

Nancy Pelosi Sums Up what is Wrong with the Democratic Led Congress and Barack Obama in One Sentence

Nancy Pelosi addressed the 2010 Legislative Conference for the National Association of Counties earlier this week. With her vacuous hyperbole, Pelosi confirmed, yet again, that she and Maxine Waters are cerebrally indistinguishable from cork. Being a fervid pursuant of the prodigiously stupid and the intellectually irrelevant, especially in Congress, I was once again surprised that I could be momentarily startled by any maniacal doctrine Pelosi or Waters verbalized.

What Was Learned From the Obama Health Care Summit

On February 25th, Obama's health care summit/theater/reality show was held at Blair House. One week of dissecting, analyzing, interpreting, and consideration has been invested into annotating Obama's fusion of powers exposition. For the myopically infirmed Left, Obama was spectacular as usual, displaying his super-intellect; for the moderately myopic-- independents whose allegiance changes with the wind-- Obama's debacle of a circus caused more than a statistical trifling to shift back to the right under the cloak of self-loathing; and for the confederacy of patriots, constitutionalists, those with discernment for manufactured competence, and those blessed with an abundance of commonsense, the show was nothing more than an exponentially expanding substantiation of incompetence and fundamental constitutional illiteracy.

The Stupid Weather Still Won’t Cooperate with the Leftist’s Global Warming Science

In another calamitous blow to the global warming church, the highly anticipated National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA), which is part of the Commerce Department, had to cancel their global altering press conference about man-made global warming in Washington D.C. because of an unprecedented winter storm that has shut D.C. and the federal government down. Alas, all is not lost; they will hold their press conference via telephone, God willing the snow and ice does not disable the telephone system.

When Leftists Predict Global Warming Scenarios

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chief prosecuting attorney for the advocacy group Riverkeeper, an environmental organization, darts around the world on private jets apprising people how to conduct their lives for the sake of the Earth. Not flying around the globe on private jets is at the top of that list.
