How did a woman as stupid as Ruth Bader Ginsberg get to an associate justice of the Supreme Court?   The Lord only knows.   In today’s much anticipated Hobby Lobby rulingGinsberg opined, from Daily Beast:

“The exemption sought by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga would override significant interests of the corporations’ employees and covered dependents. It would deny legions of women who do not hold their employers’ beliefs access to contraceptive coverage that the ACA would otherwise secure.”

It would be as if Ginsberg had argued that McDonald’s wants to deny Americans access to food, because McDonald’s sells hamburgers rather than giving them away.  Put another way, why should Sandra Fluke get her contraceptives for free but I have pay for my food?

Reference the title, come to think about it, Bader does look a bit skinny.

Obama_Barack-chaiirThe self proclaimed former professor of constitutional laws, and forty-fourth President of the United States. continues think he is a king and not a mere president, from Hill:

The Obama administration is “not bluffing” in its intent to take executive action on immigration policy if House Republicans don’t act soon, top Democratic leaders warned Thursday.

President Obama has delayed any potential changes to his deportation policy to allow House GOP leaders time to bring legislation to the floor this summer. But if the Republicans don’t act in July, the Democrats say, unilateral changes by Obama are inevitable.

“We’re at the end of the line,” Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. “We’re not bluffing by setting a legislative deadline for them to act.

Having been bitch slapped some thirteen times by the Supreme Court, I wonder if Professor Obama can point out the clause in the  Constitution which allows him govern by royal edict?

Obama’s version of good government. Remember, he wanted to take us down a notch in the world.

Well, this is what happens when you punish success, and move to limit how successful you can be in the name of ‘fairness’.

Welcome to ‘hope and change’.

The Obama regime pimps out so-called climate change, because that where they get their donor money, from Washington Times:

The Obama administration said Tuesday that bringing Tom Steyer to the White House has nothing to do with the fact that the San Francisco billionaire and environmental activist has hosted fundraisers for President Obama and has promised to spend $100 million to support Democratic candidates this fall.

Mr. Steyer, along with former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, will visit the White House Wednesday to brief administration officials on a new climate change report, commissioned by the two men and Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

As long as Steyer keeps ponying up the money. Obama will continue to sing his tune.    Remember the Golden Rule:   Then that has the gold, makes the rules.

Eric Florack on June 24th, 2014

So, that we are being lied to, that Climate Change is about as big a hoax on the American people and the world as has ever been played, … a breathtaking lie… is now a given. Observe:

Now the question is, why? What do these proven liars hope to gain by this lie?

The answer is simple…. Power.

Is this the prevue of the third Clinton administration, Mrs. Clinton trying, ever so hard, to play the class warfare card, via Right Scoop:

“They don’t see me as part of the problem,” Clinton said of Americans who are upset about income inequality, adding, “Because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we’ve done it through dint of hard work.”

Reax:

As the Business Insider reports, she made an $8 million advance for putting her name on a book someone else most likely wrote, and possibly even more for her latest book, “Hard Choices.” Not well off? I think most people who earn the average household income of $50k a year would call that pretty well off. That means that Hillary earned more with one book than the average family makes in 160 years of constant work.

Not “truly well off”?!

Multimillion dollar book deals, for ghost written books that fail to deliver, two hundred thousand dollar speaking fee, and no day job. Mrs. Clinton is just a poor as Lying Lizzie Warrem is real Indian.

Feldman_ClariceClarice Feldman a/k/a the Sharp Tack, has pricked the regime’s  yarn about Lois Lerner’s supposed hard drive crash, from Peter Suderman, Reason, via Thomas Lifson, American Thinker:

The IRS had a contract with email backup service vendor Sonasoft starting in 2005,according to FedSpending.org, which lists the contract as being for “automatic data processing services.” Sonasoft’s motto is “email archiving done right,” and the company lists the IRS as a customer.

The IRS contract for data back-up data back to the Neanderthal Bush(43) Administration.   The Bush administration had a contract for data back=up, but somehow the Obama regime can’t keep a record.

No shock here. Mrs. Clinton thinks that ordinary citizens should not have guns and compares them to terrorists, from Bob Owens, Bearing Arms:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke about her views on gun control Tuesday, saying she was “disappointed” Congress did not pass a universal background checks bill after “the horrors” of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

“I believe that we need a more thoughtful conversation, we cannot let a minority of people — and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people — hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,” Clinton said during a CNN town hall.

Mean while back in occupied Iraq, the ISIS was busy implementing Mrs. Clinton’s preference, from Daily Caller:

In a major coup for public health and safety the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has banned smoking, alcohol, and guns in the provinces it conquered just days ago, the International Business Times reports.

Much like her role models the ISIS, Mrs Clinton does not  like freedom.:

Moochelle Obama, the Fat Lady of the United States believes the regime should dictate what school children eat for lunch, from Hill:

First lady Michelle Obama on Monday blasted back at critics of her school lunch program, arguing parents should ensure their children eat healthy meals.

Obama said parents and school leaders can’t let children make the call to eat pizza and burgers for lunch every day.

“If I let my kids dictate what we have for dinner every day, it would be French fries, chips and candy, but we don’t run our households like that, and we can’t run our schools like that,” the first lady said in an interview with MSN.

Now Suzy isn’t allow to choose what to eat for lunch, but she is allowed to choose an abortion. Amusing, school children are too stupid to know what to eat, but smart enough to make a life or death decision about the fate of their unborn baby. Go figure!

Why should the president of any university getting federal funds earn more than the President of the United States?

We hold car dealers responsible for defective cars. Why not hold college presidents responsible for defective, or over priced, college diplomas?

Chris Christie may or may not be too fat to be president, he however is too stupid to be president, via ABC News:

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is denouncing comments by fellow Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry comparing homosexuality to alcoholism in which people can choose to change their behavior.

Perry said earlier this week in San Francisco that people may feel “compelled to follow a particular lifestyle” but have the ability to decide not to do that.

Christie said Friday that he disagrees, saying it is not “an apt analogy and not one that should be made because I think it’s wrong.”

Christie evidently thinks a biological urge is the same as destiny. No wonder he got so fat.

snark2.jpgSnark of the Day from George W. Bush,via AEI:

To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready … would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al Qaeda. It would mean that we’d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. It would mean we’d allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan. It would mean increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. [EMPHASIS ADDED].

The cowboy knew best.

Mrs. Clinton has long professed to be a Methodist.   Yet somewhere along the line she must have become a humanist, and forget to include it in her book, from Right Wing News:

“One of my big problems right now is too many people believe they have a direct line to the Divine and they never want to change their minds about anything they’re never open to new information and they like to operate in a evidence free zone.”

A Christian has a direct line to God. It is prayer.   How much a  problem does Mrs. Clinton has with other people praying and how far would she go to suppress prayer.

Billy Beck over at Facebook just now…

It constitutes a *lethal* national disaster to maintain open borders and a welfare-state at the same time.

Is there anyone who does not understand this?

No.
The implications of this understanding are staggering.
The Democrats pushing this, and those of the GOP approving it, MUST know this is so. So, the only conclusion of that is they WANT to pull us down. I’ve said this before, Billy, and Ill say it again… at every opportunity, right down the line since the 08 election at least, but to a large extent before that, the powers that be…. leftists and centrists… have run…. no, LUNGED in exactly the wrong direction…. if we assume the correct: direction to be a stronger and freer America.  Every single time, right down the line without any exception.

One simply doesn’t get that kind of consistency, without two things going for you… talent and intent. They *WANT* to pull us down.

What other conclusion is there?
