Gently Hew Stone: Santorum and Obama Make the Same Awful Claim

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:41:00 -0800

On Monday, Rick Santorum and President Barack Obama said essentially the same thing in campaign speeches they each gave: that if the other party wins in November, the America that their supporters love will disappear forever. Santorum said, “If Barack Obama is re-elected, then America as we know it…as we know it…will be gone. We [...]

The Spirit Of The Law: Obama admits failure as a president

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:02:00 -0700

Short of coming out and saying that he is an economic failure of a president, Barack Obama has vocally shifted the responsibility for his mess to the GOP congress. Does that mean it is the GOP's turn to say, "we inherited this mess from our president?" I see this as a pretty clear election tactic.

Come November and the economy still sucks, Obama needs an out against his republican rivals. This is of course a gutsy move, because if things do get better under the republicans, he pretty much has his bluff called and will most likely not be president.

Both sides are being urged to put together a jobs program to help get American's back to work. Back to work? Really? Is that what the founding fathers wanting our government to be doing? To turn us into a bunch of invalid workers dependent on what the government does to make our living?

The last I checked, Obama wanted the responsibility of turning the nation around. He wanted to be the head honcho, the savior of America. Trying to shift that responsibility onto others will not alleviate the responsibility off himself. In fact, doing such will keep Obama in the picture as the president who couldn't fix things. Who's programs kept American's from working rather than letting the natural course of economic ebbs and flows take place, he played economy god. It almost reminds me of that movie Bruce Almighty. Barack Almighty... coming soon to theaters... if theaters can stay open through the end of Barack's presidency...

The Spirit Of The Law: Obama got SCHOOLED!!!

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Fri, 20 May 2011 13:05:00 -0700

Wow, today's speech with Netanyahu was a shocker! What? You mean the leader of Isreal isn't going to pander and bow to the "annointed one" Barack Hussein Obama. What an embarrassment to have the leader of America pander to Palestine and command Isreal to make concessions.

Obama is a fool. He doesn't understand the realities of the world, and it was shocking to see him try to appease the Arab world by telling Isreal to make concessions with Hamas and revert to their 1967 borders - and even more shocking and satisfying was Netanyahu basically telling Obama to go to hell (politely of course).

Gently Hew Stone: MLK and Obama: Studies In Pop Culture Deification

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 20:43:00 -0800

Something about yesterday’s celebration of Martin Luther King Day made me really happy. Dr. King’s son said something that I’ve thought for years: “My father was a great man. My hero. A hero to many. But sometimes there is too much emphasis placed on Martin Luther King Jr. the idol instead of the ideals.” Amen. It’s always [...]

The Spirit Of The Law: Obama the Hawaiian

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 06:00:00 -0800

So, as Barack Obama is in Hawaii, the new Democratic Governor is seeking a way to help dispel and rumors about Obama's citizenship and birth in that state. What I can't seem to understand is, who is still talking about this? Does Obama need another problem to surface?

In this article on the subject, the law about Hawaii states that they do not release certified birth information unless the information is being requested by someone of "substantial interest." I think that ALL American's would qualify with substantial interest in this case. So, lets see it.... this should either put the issue to rest, or it will be the source of a potential treason case against an elected president. Either way, the timing of this action is strange is it not?

The Spirit Of The Law: No Tax Breaks, No More Obama?

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 13:52:00 -0800

As part of Obama's efforts to pass the tax breaks, he told Democrats that if this bill doesn't pass, he could lose being Presdient, or in other words, he won't be re-elected in 2012. That is the first reason I have heard to not pass the tax breaks :)

Obama used this tactic before with the Health Care bill. At some point, this becomes the boy who cried wolf. In one way, he is loosing his presidency because of the health care passage. So how are representatives supposed to react to this pseudo-threat?

Is the tax thing a deal breaker for Obama 2012? Or is this a deal breaker for the democrats supporting Obama in 2012?

The Spirit Of The Law: Are the checks and balances, really balanced?

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 07:22:00 -0800

A Virginia federal judge recently over turned the portion Obama's health care reform bill siting that the provision forcing American's to buy health insurance or be fined is unconstitutional. Personally, I agree with the judge but understand the desire for health care reform in this country. However, that is an article for another time. In this case, the legal system and the political system are working as planned. One is keeping the other in check.

However, a judge in California over turned the voter approved Prop. 8 law that was overwhelmingly approved by voters in that state. I ask, was the system of checks and balances supposed to be a check on and within the government itself ONLY, or is this check of the judicial branch supposed to be a check on the American people as well? Have the judges taken too much power unto themselves?

It seems to me that the Supreme Court, while human and prone to preferences and opinion as opposed to impartiality, is at least more than one judge. There is a deliberation's process and a practical group of high minded individuals (hopefully) render a decision. In both of the cases mentioned above, it is one judge, one opinion, that seems to be able to trump the opinion of the whole state, or even the nation in some cases.

Is there a need for change? My suggestion would be that any case where a voter approved law or proposition is voted in, or if the legislature passes a law, that the law be auto-reviewed for constitutionality by a panel of judges in either the state supreme court, or by a panel of federal appeal judges - NOT JUST ONE - if the vote is less than 60% in favor of passage (by legislative or voter approved laws). Where the vote is above 60%, legal action can be taken by individual parties but should also be required to meet a higher standard of proof as I don't believe that the judicial check and balance was meant to be in opposition to the majority vote. I could be wrong, but it seems that the voice of the people should be greater than the voice of one "activist" judge.

Richman Ramblings: Open Letter to Obama from Procter & Gamble Executive

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 14:03:00 -0700

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FROM A FORMER PROCTER AND GAMBLE EXECUTIVE TO THE PRESIDENT

Dear President Obama: You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you. You scare me because I do n...ot know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll. You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others. You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do. You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaugh's, Hannity's, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view. You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Former VP of Procter & Gamble

Richman Ramblings: President Obama, No One in Arizona is Laughing

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:13:00 -0700

Governor Jan Brewer sparked a national debate on border security and illegal immigration when she signed SB1070. While Brewer has been celebrated by many for taking action to enforce laws that Washington has long ignored, those who oppose the law have chosen pithy punch lines over aggressive action. Far away from the border at the White House Correspondents Dinner, President Obama decided that Arizonas unsecured borders and illegal immigration crisis are a laughing matter. Unfortunately, no one in Arizona is laughing. www.JanBrewer.com

Richman Ramblings: Obama Pleads for $50 Billion More in Spending

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 13:27:00 -0700

President Obama urged reluctant lawmakers Saturday to quickly approve nearly $50 billion dollars in debt to add to the $800 billion that failed to create any jobs.

Rahm Emanuel explained that the president wants to both cut and spend. That's double-speak for cut a dollar and spend five more. That way, he can claim that he calls for fiscal discipline, while he spends like a drunken sailor.

Richman Ramblings: Obama Just Got His Private Army

noreply@nothingwavering.org (No Reply) — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:24:00 -0700

Remember when Obama said he wanted a “national security force?” Not the national guard, but a civilian one that has not sworn to uphold the Constitution? On July 2, 2008 in a speech in Colorado Springs, Barack Obama called for a police state.

Well, the first pieces of it have now been put in place, buried in the Senate revisions to the health care bill. It sets up a "Ready Reserve Corps" with commissioned officers to be "appointed by the President."
