Dear Mr. President…

Concerning this 2010 census of yours…

Umm, you may be some sort of “constitutional scholar”, but I can read.   Can you?

U.S. Constitution:

Article 1, section 2, Clause 3.
…”The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.”…


Enumerate
1 : to determine the number of : count 2 : list Source: N

(The Founders meant for there to be a counting, not a listing of your race, nor the type of building you live in, and most definitely NOT YOUR PHONE NUMBER !!!)

Amendment 4.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
-(We have the right to “BE SECURE IN OUR PERSONS, HOUSES, PAPERS, AND EFFECTS”.  Pretty sure that includes all sorts of my own personal information.)

Amendment 9.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

( Here’s the kicker, the Constitution clearly states that no laws shall be made up to create some sort of back door policy around our Constitutional rights.  So don’t start stating “rulings” by some hack district or supreme court that allows the government to ignore my right to privacy, and allows the government to ask whatever the hell it pleases just because it’s the government.  Just because some bureaucrat or kangaroo court says it’s right don’t make it constitutional. Pretty sure court rulings have been found constitutionally lacking and overturned in the past.  So as far as you getting MY personal info, It ain’t gonna happen at MY front door !!!)

Unconstitutional Questions being asked by YOUR government in this 2010 census;

• Is this house, apartment, or mobile home: owned with mortgage, owned without mortgage, rented, occupied without rent?
• What is your telephone number?
• Please provide information for each person living here. Start with a person here who owns or rents this house, apartment, or mobile home. If the owner or renter lives somewhere else, start with any adult living here. This will be Person 1. What is Person 1’s name?
• What is Person 1’s sex?
• What is Person 1’s age and Date of Birth?
• Is Person 1 of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin?
• What is Person 1’s race?
• Does Person 1 sometimes live or stay somewhere else?

So….
You can bet you ain’t gonna get MY phone number, much less anything other than the number of people living in my humble abode…

…And has anyone looked into the constitutionality of the “American Community Survey” yet? (stole that one from Dale)
Talk about back door invasions…
…I need a beer.

Why the Health Care Bill is a Failure

By Charles Krauthammer

WASHINGTON — So the yearlong production, set to close after Massachusetts’ devastatingly negative Jan. 19 review, saw the curtain raised one last time. Obamacare lives.

After 34 speeches, three sharp electoral rebukes (Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts) and a seven-hour seminar, the president announced Wednesday his determination to make one last push to pass his health care reform.

The final act was carefully choreographed. The rollout began a week earlier with a couple of shows of bipartisanship: a Feb. 25 Blair House “summit” with Republicans, followed five days later with a few concessions tossed the Republicans’ way.

Show is the operative noun. Among the few Republican suggestions President Obama pretended to incorporate was tort reform. What did he suggest to address the plague of defensive medicine that a Massachusetts Medical Society study showed leads to about 25 percent of doctor referrals, tests and procedures being done for no medical reason? A few ridiculously insignificant demonstration projects amounting to one-half of one-hundredth of 1 percent of the cost of Obama’s health care bill.

As for the Blair House seminar, its theatrical quality was obvious even before it began. The Democrats had already decided to go for a purely partisan bill. Obama signaled precisely that intent at the end of the summit show — then dramatically spelled it out just six days later in his 35th health care speech: He is going for the party-line vote.

Unfortunately for Democrats, that seven-hour televised exercise had the unintended consequence of showing the Republicans to be not only highly informed on the subject, but also, as even Obama was forced to admit, possessed of principled objections — contradicting the ubiquitous Democratic/media meme that Republican opposition was nothing but nihilistic partisanship.

Senator Jim Bunning’s Op/Ed in USA Today today…..

‘If the Senate cannot find $10 billion to pay for a measure we all support, we will never pay for anything.’

Read it HERE….

I don’t know why he needed to explain this. It probably had something to do with it being misreported by the MSM or the fact that the other dunce bucket republicans in the Senate didn’t stand behind him.

First Obumbler tries to buy off  Congressman Joe Sestak with a lush federal job if he doesn’t run against Snarlen Specter in the upcoming election. Now President Borg is trying to buy a healthcare vote by selling a federal judgeship to the brother of Congressman Jim Matheson of Utah. Now you lefties out there are saying “It’s just coincidence!!!”

Really?

Weekly Standard:

Consider Congressman Matheson’s record on the health care bill. He voted against the bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee back in July and again when it passed the House in November. But now he’s “undecided” on ramming the bill through Congress.

Coincidence??? Yeah…. Sure.

The democrats passed PAY-GO.

PAY-GO is the reason why Sen. Bunning is holding up the bill extending jobless benefits. He’s simply following the rules put in place by the democrats.

A little commentary from the Reasonable Citizen.

The Democrat smear machine came out of the gate to belittle the Senator. Imagine that. Somebody finally thinks about how to pay for something  and he is castigated by the opposition party. You know which ones have become the hypocrites now.

Isn’t it a bit ironic that the party of PAY-GO now wants nothing to do with paying as you go?

The party that blames Bush for everything has no one to blame here but themselves.

Aren’t you glad you don’t know where Rahm’s hands are?????

Update: It would seem I wasn’t only one to notice the creepiness of this picture…

Conservative columnist and blogger extraordinaire, James Wigderson, quoted me in his Freeman column last week.

It may seem like small potatoes to you but I think it’s pretty cool.

Did I spell potatoes right?????

The Goracle has surfaced…… WHOOPIE!!!!

He pulled himself out of the depths of his cave of lies and wrote an Op/Ed for the New York Times.

Read it here….

The only part of the column I will post is this one sentence…..

“But the scientific enterprise will never be completely free of mistakes.”

Mistakes Al????

Mistakes….

From Dictionary.com:

Mistake

–noun
1. an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge, etc.

2. a misunderstanding or misconception.

Now let’s check the definition of FRAUD…..

–noun
1. deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.

Al and his lying sack of IPCC “scientist” friends knowingly altered the data to attain the results they desired. That’s not a  mistake or  science….. That’s FRAUD.

Climb back in to your running SUV limo and head back to the cave, Al…….

“This leadership team will create the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history”

– Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Press Release, November 16, 2006

Yeah….. Right.

Congressman Paul Ryan taking the democrat’s health care bill to the fiscal shredder.

It was quite obvious, yesterday, that the republicans knew more about the democrats health crap bill than the democrats did. I heard the republicans bring up facts using the dems own bill and all the dems had to offer was anecdotes. The democrats were schooled yesterday and you could tell by the reaction of the president and the democrats at the summit.

More from Paul Ryan

The best anecdote of the day award goes to Louise Slaughter, democrat from New York

Some democrat talking heads were calling yesterdays event a “TIE.”

Translation………… We don’t want to say the republicans kicked our a**es so we’ll call it a tie and hope nobody notices.

Doctors have discovered a new ETD.

At least this one’s curable….

Gonorrhea Lectim

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease.  The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim.  It’s pronounced “Gonna re-elect ‘im.”

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum.

Many victims contracted it in 2008….. But now most people after having been infected for the past 1-2 years are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.  It’s sad because it is so easily cured with a new procedure just coming on the market called Vo-tem-out!  You take the first dose/step in 2010 and the second dosage in 2012 and simply don’t engage in such behavior again; otherwise it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

Several states are already on top of this like Virginia and New Jersey, and apparently now Massachusetts with many more seeing the writing on the wall..

Please pass this important message on to all those bright folk you really care about.

Ford Recalls 2010 Mustang For Being Too Cool

DETROIT—-Ford officials issued a massive recall of the entire 2010 Mustang line Tuesday, apologizing for a quality-control oversight that led to the company manufacturing a badass muscle car that was way too awesome for the American public. “We deeply regret this lapse in judgment and accept full responsibility for the mistake,” Ford CEO Alan R. Mulally said standing beside a gorgeous, cherry-red vehicle recalled for being “way too smoking.” “After numerous road tests, we’ve found the car to be a mean, mean ride that Americans are simply not cool enough to handle, and it would be irresponsible of us to allow anyone to get behind the wheel of this killer car. It’s truly frightening how sweet the Mustang is.” According to Mulally, Ford has canceled production on the 2011 Mustang, and will instead release a line of fuel-efficient vehicles in an effort to appeal to boring old Americans.

The Onion News

Bad, evil Republicans and George Bush…….

…… but now it’s OK……

H/T: Breitbart

They will meet on Thursday. The Democrats call the Republicans the party of no and dismiss any and all Republican ideas. The Democrats will then somehow justify a reconciliation vote and pass their health crap bill with federally funded abortions, insurance mandates and tax increases. The Democrats will crash and burn in November but we’ll still be stuck with their precursor to socialized medicine.

I hope I’m wrong.

Just sayin’

H/T: Mig Man from Facebook

Four Cats

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.

The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist, and the fourth man was a Government Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat, ‘T-square, do your stuff.’

T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, ‘Spreadsheet, do your stuff.’

Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good!

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, ‘Measure, do your stuff.’

Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, ‘What can your cat do?’

The Government Employee called his cat and said, ‘Coffee Break, do your stuff.’

Coffee Break jumped to his feet……..ate the cookies……..drank the milk……..pottied on the paper…….screwed the other three cats…….claimed he injured his back while doing so…….filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions…….put in for Workers’ Compensation. ……….…..and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.

AND THAT, MY FRIEND, IS WHY HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT!!
