The Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution is simple:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
Is there growing support in the US for the states and the people to reestablish their original rights taken by the federal government?
No comments at the bar for 3-1/2 hours? Has blogger been down?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. Threads just die. Long live the thread.
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats want to add $1.9 trillion to the US debt and Obama is hell bent on continuing his reconstruction of the the US.
ReplyDeleteIn light of what has just happened in Mass, is there a window of opportunity for the majority, the real majority of freedom loving Americans to reinstate responsible government?
I think so, or is my inner Pangloss taking over my mind? Help me out here.
Good question. I'm optimistic. There's momentum building. Brown's win in Mass. is huge, but just the latest. There'll be more to come. Some democrats are probably untouchable, Pelosi comes to mind. But Boxer is not invulnerable.
ReplyDeleteThe more intractable Obama and the hard Left are right now and into the future, the better for the Right.
Brings to mind this story:
ReplyDeleteUnited States' "Impending" Split
Russian Professor Predicts the US Will Collapse & Split Into Six Parts in 2010
From Whit's link:
ReplyDelete...He believes that when times get tough, rich states like California and New York will withhold funds from the federal government, which would lead to collapse and civil war. The U.S. would thus dissolve into six distinct parts...
:-)
Governator Ahhnold's in D.C. right now, presumably begging for federal funds, and leaving the golden state in the hands of Jerry Brown who just declared a state of disaster.
ReplyDeleteGlobal warming strikes again.
Like Viktor told me.

California has no funds to withhold.

1. The Democrats lost Ted Kennedy's seat, sending their health-care takeover efforts into a tailspin.
2. The Supreme Court wiped out the central feature of McCain-Feingold, in a victory for free speech.
3. Air America declared bankruptcy.
While the California State government is broke, the taxpayers of California send more to DC than they collect back.
ReplyDeleteSame as NY and NJ.
Unlike AZ and ID, both of which survive with positive net Federal funding.
That even with the huge debts incurred, that some States are still net losers, just another tid bit of Federal Socialist lore.
If the election of Obama leads to, as Deuce says:
... growing support in the US for the states and the people to reestablish their original rights taken by the federal government
Then his election will have been more than worthwhile, it will have been a gift from the Creator.
Maverick would have been a real disaster, we'd be in the same situations, but without a rally point.
I resent the Ideea That Idehoe is not deserving of Federal Largesse.
ReplyDeleteHow else to subdivide farmland in this economic environment?
Did al-Bob and MLD elope?

ReplyDeleteSince we are at war with ourselves,
ReplyDeleteit is good that we no longer fight to win.
The Predator has become Obama's version of Clinton's Cruise Missile:
ReplyDeleteDead Terrorists provide no Intel.
In Predatorville, the only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.
...or, when captured,
ReplyDeleteone who has been Mirandized.

ReplyDeleteBut without the Taliban providing target intel, through their Jordanian triple agent, we can no longer participate in the internal power struggles of the Taliban, in Afpakistan.
ReplyDeleteTerror Interrogations & the MA Senate Race
ReplyDeleteNext to health care, the issue that has dominated the debate in the Massachusetts Senate race is terrorism.
Scott Brown, the Republican running ahead in the race for Ted Kennedy's Senate seat today, has campaigned as an unabashed supporter of enhanced interrogation.
Brown - who serves as a JAG lawyer in the Army National Guard - has argued that the Christmas Day bomber should be interrogated as an enemy combatant, not given the right to remain silent.
And he has said of waterboarding,
"I do not believe it is torture. America does not torture ... we used aggressive, enhanced interrogation techniques."
Linear said
ReplyDeleteNo comments at the bar for 3-1/2 hours? Has blogger been down?
No Linear, even people at the bar get tired of talking about the same thing over and over and over again. I stopped commenting at the bar because I thought the mundane conversations were getting in the way of what this place really represents and why people are here. I was right. This isn't the first time the bar had a three hour lull. Maybe an intervention every once in awhile would do the bar-dy good.
And no, I didn't elope with Bob.
"The fact is President Obama has placed our country in grave danger by dismantling the CIA's program to interrogate senior terrorist leaders like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. By limiting all terrorist interrogations to the techniques in the Army Field Manual, Obama is actually requiring that captured terrorists receive better treatment in the interrogation room than common criminals being questioned at your local police precinct. Not only has he eliminated lawful interrogation techniques, under his administration the United States is no longer trying to capture the leaders of al Qaeda alive, and bring them in for interrogation so they can tell us their plans for future attacks.
ReplyDeleteDespite these facts, some in the GOP have been hesitant to speak out about President Obama's elimination of the CIA program, for fear of being branded as supporters of torture. They have nothing to fear. The label is false and it will not stick. As I make clear in my book, Courting Disaster, Scott Brown has it right: The CIA's interrogation of senior al Qaeda terrorists was not torture. Moreover, these interrogations were responsible for helping the CIA breaking up a number of terrorist attacks - including plots to blow up the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, the U.S. Marine camp in Djibouti, and to fly hijacked airplanes into buildings in London and Los Angeles. This is a strong record to run on - and dismantling the CIA program that foiled these plots is a major vulnerability for Obama and the Democrats.
Polls show that the more the public learns about the CIA's interrogation program, the more Americans support it."
I have been absent, MLD, what were the concerns of the mundane converstations?
ReplyDelete...sorry you had no romantic fling in SB.
About waterboarding, Mr Brown is incorrect, it is torture.
ReplyDeleteThose that have been tortured by the enemies of the United States, they will so testify, and already have.
It is an area that John "Maverick" McCain is an acknowledged expert.
And he includes waterboarding amongst the techniques of torture.
Maverick knows torture.
More Union Members voted for Brown than Coakley!
ReplyDeleteMaverick knows Shit.
ReplyDelete...as you have noted, he is mad.
KSM told us we should waterboard all his brothers to relieve them of their burden of evil.
Maverick's positions are determined by the demands of PC in DC,
ReplyDeletenot lessons learned in the 'Nam.
There weren't any concerns. Nothing was said to make me feel unwanted, Well, except when Lil said, "I don't want to have anything to do with Bob and MLD." But I don't take that shit literally. Stuff like that doesn't bother me. I am what I am and if you don't care for me, oh well. I just thought I would take a break and let the bar get back to where it should be. And it is boring and repetitious.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't need a romantic fling in SB, what ever that stands for, trust me this isn't the only place I go.
ReplyDeleteThere weren't any concerns. Nothing was said to make me feel unwanted, Well, except when Lil said, "I don't want to have anything to do with Bob and MLD."
ReplyDeleteBob is a great guy. He calls me Lily.
Well shit, I call you lil, always have.

No details on the mundane provided.
ReplyDeleteI remain ignorant.
The attitude approaches haughty.
ReplyDeleteThe Bar prefers Hottie.
I guess I would have known what Sb stood for if I followed the link.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has their preference, Doug. I prefer hottie, too. But it's not my house.
State Budget Writers Face Tough Decisions
ReplyDelete...in Georgia:
"...our total state revenues can only sustain a $15.7 billion state budget, roughly the same amount as our 2005 budget..."
"...the Senate Budget Office projects the state may not recover to its previous levels until after 2015...."
Georgia may not run a deficit.

ReplyDeleteYou think the bar prefers hottie.
ReplyDeleteLink says Brown earned 1.3 million in a day.
ReplyDeleteTurned out, more than 1 million poured in EVERYDAY in the last week.
Leaving Brown with ~4 Mil in the Til.
huh?
ReplyDeleteDoug: The Predator has become Obama's version of Clinton's Cruise Missile...Dead Terrorists provide no Intel.
ReplyDeleteNeither do Mirandized Terrorists.
I spent that 3 1/2 hours of EB down time reading a book.
ReplyDeleteDoug: Leaving Brown with ~4 Mil in the Til.
ReplyDeleteNow all he has to do is vote "Present" for 143 days and he will be qualified for President!
Well Lily, you get a gold star for that. I spent my three hours reading tarot cards.
ReplyDeleteDoug: KSM told us we should waterboard all his brothers to relieve them of their burden of evil.
ReplyDeleteAnd because none of them have had a shower since 9-11.
"I think so, or is my inner Pangloss taking over my mind? Help me out here."
ReplyDeleteI think it's your inner Pangloss (although I'm not sure what a Pangloss is).
I too am long-term optimistic. However, I think it's going to take quite a few more elections cycles before anything really changes (regardless of what happens this year).
The grey-beards in both parties have to die or go away.

"Polls show that the more the public learns about the CIA's interrogation program, the more Americans support it."
