There are literally hundreds of possible examples of the actions being advanced upon our nation by the entrenched ideology of liberalism.
Meanwhile moderates call for a pragmatic approach toward finding common ground.
While pragmatism is indeed a noble intellectual pathway for concession, it would currently appear politically equivalent to dimmitude….. – Sundance

The Power is ALL MINE Suckas !!!

(The Washington Times) — Federal immigration authorities have begun granting tentative legal status to illegal immigrants under President Obama’s deportation halt — and in some cases are even ignoring the administration’s eligibility rules to stop deportations for those who shouldn’t qualify, according to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, said he’s learned some illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. less than five years have had their deportations canceled, even though Mr. Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano had listed the five-year mark as one of their criteria. (more…)

A Court source tells Salon the chief justice wrote the majority opinion and much of the dissent in the Obamacare case….
(Salon) This past weekend CBS News’ Jan Crawford reported that Chief Justice John Roberts switched his vote in regard to upholding the bulk of the Affordable Care Act. Crawford reports that Roberts voted with the rest of the court’s conservatives to strike down the individual mandate, but in the course of drafting his opinion changed his mind, and ended up siding with the court’s four liberals to uphold almost all of the law.

Roberts arrives in Malta

In response, according to Crawford’s story, the four conservatives then independently crafted a highly unusual joint dissent. If so, this would represent a powerful symbolic gesture: Joint Supreme Court opinions are rare. Normally a justice authors an individual opinion, which other justices may choose to join. Jointly authored opinions are reserved for momentous statements of principle, such as in Cooper v. Aaron, when all nine justices jointly authored an opinion declaring that the court’s anti-segregation decisions were binding on state governments that disagreed with the court’s constitutional interpretations.

The same Pakistani government that holds the Bin Laden informant in jail.  The same Pakistani government who support radical al-Qaeda operatives within their border.
PAKISTAN – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apologized Tuesday for a November attack by U.S. forces that left 24 Pakistani troops dead.

“I once again reiterated our deepest regrets for the tragic incident in Salala last November,” Clinton said in a statement about her call with Pakistani foreign minister Rabbani Khar. (more…)

The term “Honest Democrat” is quickly becoming an oxymoron. Elizabeth Warren NOW tries to rewrite history and claim she was never in favor of a single-payer Healthcare System.   Insufferable…..

(HuffPo)  Rupert Murdoch took to Twitter on Sunday to weigh in the U.S. presidential election.

“Met Romney last week. Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless he drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful,” he wrote.

He added: “US election is referendum on Obama, all else pretty minor.” (more…)

President Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, Asked About Invoking Executive Privilege On Fast And Furious: We’re The “Most Transparent” Administration Ever…. Tried keeping a straight face to.

Here’s ONE

Democrats have perpetrated the biggest tax fraud on the American people ever.   First, to get the law passed they insisted the funding was NOT a tax.   Then they argued before the court it was a tax.  After the Supreme Court agreed and called it a tax, now Democrats try to say it is NOT a tax again…. 

Jack Lew, the Obama White House Chief of Staff, was trying to persuade Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday that Obamacare was not a tax. But it didn’t work out so well for Lew when Wallace played audio of the Obama lawyer arguing that Obamacare was a tax in front of the Supreme Court. Lew was speechless after being caught in his lie.

Many people continuing to absorb the recent SCOTUS Healthcare ObamaNation… A few questions pass through my own personal mind:  
FIRST – If the healthcare insurance “mandate” is an allowable, albeit unavoidable, taxation passed on citizens regardless of their economic inactivity then what happens to all those “waivers” granted?   A non-congressional federal department, in this case HHS, cannot lawfully “waiver” taxation?
SECOND – If the first dime of healthcare coverage is now considered taxation, because the first moment of non-engagement in activity is considered taxable, then all healthcare premium expenditures are taxes and therefore automatically deducted from taxable income right?   I mean the only way to collect the taxation is through employment activity, ie. income, and if income expenditures on healthcare coverage are now considered taxes, then they should be deductible from income from the first dime.  No?
(Economist)  AS PETER SUDERMAN of Reason put it, “Some coup”. The individual mandate passes constitutional muster after all. Crisis of legitimacy averted! Akhil Reed Amar’s life has not been a fraud!
However, according to the majority decision by John Roberts, the Supreme Court’s conservative chief justice, the mandate cannot be justified on commerce-clause grounds. Indeed, Mr Roberts wholly affirms the argument that the commerce clause cannot regulate economic inactivity. From the syllabus of the decision: (more…)

If you watched the hearing last week you saw an awkward exchange between Darrell Issa and Elijah Cummings.   Cummings accused Issa of questioning his integrity, and was shocked, shocked I tell ya, shocked.  Well, lo and behold by quietly entering the wire tap letter into the record Issa just proved that Cummings is indeed a liar.  
HatTip WeeWeed (Via Roll Call) In the midst of a fiery floor debate over contempt proceedings for Attorney General Eric Holder, House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) quietly dropped a bombshell letter into the Congressional Record.

The May 24 letter to Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), ranking member on the panel, quotes from and describes in detail a secret wiretap application that has become a point of debate in the GOP’s “Fast and Furious” gun-walking probe. (more…)

It all seems to come together now – Obama Contributor, Who Helped Enact Assault-Weapons Ban, Ran ‘Fast and Furious’…
(CNSNews.com) — Dennis K. Burke, who as a lawyer for the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 1990s was a key player behind the enactment of the 1994 assault-weapons ban, and who then went on to become Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano’s chief of staff, and contributor to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential primary campaign, and a member of Obama’s transition team focusing on immigration issues, ended up in the Obama administration as the U.S. attorney in Arizona responsible for overseeing Operation Fast and Furious.

When Obama nominated Burke to be U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, Burke told the Arizona Capitol Times he believed he understood what the president and his attorney general wanted him to do. (more…)
