Congress just gave the Executive Branch the power to fill over 3000 positions with no confirmation hearings or oversight from the Senate.  What on earth possessed the Republican-controlled House to go along with this scheme?

If the complaint is that the president has too many offices to fill for the senate to confirm them in a timely manner, I have the perfect solution: ELIMINATE ALL THESE BUREAUCRATIC POSITIONS!    Our country ran smoothly for over 200 years without all these busybodies in D.C.  gobbling up taxpayer money to run our lives.

The solution is NOT to empower the Executive Branch with near dictatorial powers.   The solution is to go back to the constitution and get rid of every department, agency and program that doesn’t fall under the limited, enumerated powers therein!   Do that, and the senate will have no problem confirming the 5% of presidential appointees that actually have constitutional legitimacy.

The latest web ad from Barack Obama’s campaign goes after Mitt Romney for not releasing more tax returns than he already has. The ad, titled “Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns: When Will He Come Clean?,” at one point flashes two words onscreen, “FELONS” and “TAX RECORDS.”

Are we really supposed to be more outraged by what Mitt Romney does with his money than by what Barack Obama does with ours?

When will Obama and his so-called “Truth Team” come clean with all of the sealed records of his past… birth records, college records, stolen social security number, selective service records, lies and corruption, violations of the Constitution?  We are still waiting!

What gives Obama the right to point the finger.  He’s about as transparent as a sheet of aluminum foil. Obama should not even be allowed on the 2012 ballot until he “comes clean!”

Mitt Romney should quit being Mr. Nice Guy and start demanding the hidden records from Obama…TODAY!!!

William, Paul and James Newland and their sister, Christine  Ketterhagen, who together own Hercules Industries, have no right to  conduct their family business in a manner that comports with their  Catholic faith.

The Newland family owns and operates Hercules Industries, a  Colorado-based corporation that manufactures heating, ventilation and  air-conditioning equipment. Through their hard work and dedication, and  through their willingness to reinvest their own money in building their  family business, they have managed to create jobs for 265 people while  exerting a positive influence on the communities they serve.

The  Newlands believe the morality the Catholic faith teaches them must  animate their lives not only within the walls of the churches they  attend, but literally everywhere else, as well — in the way they deal  with their families, their neighbors and, yes, their business.

The  Newlands sued to protect their free exercise of religion in this regard  because Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued a  regulation, under the Obamacare law, that requires virtually all health care plans to cover — without cost-sharing — sterilizations, artificial  contraception and abortifacients.

The federal government can and will compel them  to either surrender their business or to engage in activities the  Catholic faith teaches are intrinsically immoral. This is exactly what President Barack Obama’s Justice Department told a U.S. district court in a formal filing last week.

Never  before has an administration attempted to strip Americans  of the freedom of conscience — a right for which, over the centuries,  many Christian martyrs have laid down their lives, and which our  Founding Fathers took great care to protect in a First Amendment that  expressly guarantees the free exercise of religion.

What do you say we “REPEAL OBAMACARE, IMPEACH THIS PRESIDENT AND DISSOLVE HIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION!!!”

From Citizens Against Government Waste
America’s #1 Taxpayer Watchdog

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) named House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) and Ranking Member Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) its July 2012 Porkers of the Month for sponsoring the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act (FARRM).  Like its counterpart in the Senate, FARRM is a massive waste of taxpayer dollars at a time of record profits for farmers, maintains the command-and-control system that has been in place for decades, and falls far short of the $180 billion in savings for the Farm Bill that was included in the House-passed budget resolution.  The bill would reduce Farm Bill spending to $957 billion over ten years, a difference of $35.1 billion and a paltry savings of 3.5 percent.

“Recent arguments urging the farm bill’s immediate passage due to droughts across the country should be ignored,” said CAGW President Tom Schatz.  “Taxpayer-subsidized crop insurance prevents those farmers who have enrolled from losing more than 15 percent of their expected revenue, and a raft of private options, such as hedging, forwarding, and diversification, remain available.

Further, the farm bill covers much more than farm supports, as evidenced by the fact that 79 percent of farm bill expenditures go to food stamps.  Republicans may help Democrats spend $756 billion on food stamps over the next 10 years. Is that what this Congress was elected to do?  Lock in Obama’s legacy of 1 in 7 Americans being on food stamps?

Passing a bad farm bill will not end the drought, but will do a great deal of damage to future food and farm policy.”

Yesterday, the Senate (I’ll scratch yours, you scratch mine ? buddy system) narrowly voted (51-48) to raise taxes on 1.2 million small businesses, which will likely kill more than 700,000 jobs at a time when nearly 13 million Americans are out of work. Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Jim Webb (D-VA) joined all Republicans in bipartisan opposition to the tax hike.

The President’s plan, now endorsed by the Democratic majority in the Senate, has little chance of going anywhere in the House of Representatives. But it has put the 51 Senators who want to raise taxes on record.  Click on the blue highlight to see how your representatives voted.

Perhaps the biggest lie in the tax debate is that this vote affects only “the rich.” That’s simply not true. Many small businesses, known as flow-through businesses, pay their taxes through the individual income tax. Ernst and Young estimates that these types of businesses “employ 54% of the private sector work force.” This tax hike squarely hits 1.2 million of these businesses that hire workers and have incomes above $200,000.

As if that weren’t enough, the Senate’s actions would also raise the death tax from 35 percent to 55 percent. This confiscatory rate would hit small businesses and family farms exceptionally hard. When a family member passes on, these families often have to sell all or part of the business to raise the cash to pay the death tax. This slows the growth of these businesses and in some cases forces them to lay off existing workers.

ACTION ALERT!

Dear Friend,

On Friday, July 27th, the nations of the world are scheduled to meet in New York to sign a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).  Disguised as a way to prevent the proliferation of small arms throughout the world, it is, in fact, a backdoor way to legislate gun control in the United States and effectively repeal our Second Amendment.

The ATT will set up a global body, which will require all nations to regulate firearms so that they can prevent their exportation to other countries.  Inevitably, this will require countries to inventory the guns in private hands and to register them.  A gun ban is not far away.

The ATT, under the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, would have the power of a constitutional amendment and would, effectively, repeal the Second Amendment guaranteeing us the right to bear arms.  We must fight to stop the US from signing the treaty and, if we fail, block Senate ratification.

I do not like this Uncle Sam,
I do not like his health care scam.
I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books.
I do not like when Congress steals,
I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like ex-speaker Nan,
I do not like this ‘YES, WE CAN!
I do not like this spending spree— I’m smart; I know that nothing’s free.
I do not like their smug replies, when we complain about their lies.
I do not like this kind of hope. I do not like it — nope, nope, nope!

Go Green?  Recycle the White House.

Proverb - Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach that person to fish and they will eat for a lifetime!

2012 Update – Give a person a welfare check, a free cell phone with unlimited free minutes, cash for clunkers, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, Medicaid, 100-weeks of unemployment, a 40-ounce malt liquor, free drugs and Air Jordan shoes, and he will vote Democrat for life!

Follow-up to an earlier article Obama Administration Rushing to Finalize UN Gun Grab Treaty! 

As we face the prospect that Hillary Clinton will sign the Arms Trade Treaty, establishing first-ever UN gun controls, those of us who believe in the Second Amendment need to gear up for a tough battle this fall.

But there is a good prospect of victory.

We have to realize that once the ink is dry on Hillary’s signature, there are only two ways to beat the Treaty and its threat of UN imposed gun control – take back the Senate or beat Obama.

The fact that the NRA has succeeded in getting fifty-eight Senators to sign on opposing the Treaty is irrelevant.  If Harry Reid won’t bring it up on the floor, it won’t get a vote.  And, in the absence of Senate disapproval or a renunciation by the president, the United States is bound by the Treaty under the provisions of the Vienna Convention which we have both signed and ratified.

Nor will the Second Amendment offer us any protection.  The Supremacy Clause in our own Constitution provides that treaties are the “law of the land” akin to a constitutional provision.
