While being fitted for robes, Kagan was caught en dishabille albeit in a painterly motif frolicking with a seamstress.

Scotus will not be a staid scholarly branch of government. Nay, the Constitution will be whipsawed until the very edges of the paper fray and the ink slides off into the corners of the chambers.

I prefer the Czarist solution.

Here is the full text of John L. Perry’s column on Newsmax which suggests that a military coup to “resolve the Obama problem” is becoming more possible and is not “unrealistic.” Perry also writes that a coup, while not “ideal,” may be preferable to “Obama’s radical ideal” — and would “restore and defend the Constitution.” Newsmax has since removed the column from its website.

Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention

By: John L. Perry

There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.

America isn’t the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn’t mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it. So, view the following through military eyes:

You can read the details. If you thinks this is improbable, remember that military officers take an oath to UPHOLD the Constitution, not the Community Organizer.

# Officers swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Unlike enlisted personnel, they do not swear to “obey the orders of the president of the United States.”

# Top military officers can see the Constitution they are sworn to defend being trampled as American institutions and enterprises are nationalized.

# They can see that Americans are increasingly alarmed that this nation, under President Barack Obama, may not even be recognizable as America by the 2012 election, in which he will surely seek continuation in office. [snip]

If the Lefty radicals don’t like it, let them take to the streets-saves rooting them out.

How do you swear to uphold the Constitution when you believe it is FLAWED?

In his own words, and a bunch of the cretins from Congressadd their 2¢ too!

What have we here? Governance by fiat seems to be the NEW American way.Demagoguery dribbles of these lips as puke does from a mewling baby’s mouth. No leaders from Western Governments opined.

Cuban leader applauds US health-care reform bill

“It is really incredible that 234 years after the Declaration of Independence … the government of that country has approved medical attention for the majority of its citizens, something that Cuba was able to do half a century ago,” Castro wrote.

The longtime Cuban leader — who ceded power to his brother Raul in 2008 — has continued to pronounce his thoughts on world issues though frequent essays, titled “Reflections,” which are published in state newspapers. [snip]

Obama readies steps to fight foreclosures, particularly for unemployed

President Barack Obama’s administration is pressuring lenders to alter loans to reduce the number of properties lost to foreclosure. About 4.5 million foreclosures filings are expected in 2010, according to RealtyTrac Inc., an Irvine, California-based seller of default data.[snip]

Why do we bother having a Congress? Ahh, how unthinking of me. Of course, all Demigods Tyrants Autocrats need approbation, plus that rubber stamp too.

Since when does the Executive Branch under our Constitution run businesses, tell citizens what they will buy or not buy, tell banks how and to whom to lend regardless of ability to pay.

Germany tells Greece: CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!
The Greek unions go on strike, they protest, the Commies scream in the streets and the Government tells them tough, we’re bankrupt; there is no money. We do this or NO EU help.
Who would have thought the Germans would be so er rigid?

How much longer do you think it will beuntil Hu Jintao says the same thing to Obama: CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!
What does that mean for YOU?

That is the difference between being a creditor and a debtor.
Debtors GET TOLD what to do!

Faber and Mish:
We’re Doomed and Washington Can’t Do Anything About It

Washington is patting itself on the back for having orchestrated an amazing economic recovery. But Washington lawmakers are a delusional bunch of boneheads, say Marc Faber and Mike “Mish” Shedlock, editor of the Gloom, Boom, and Doom Report and investment advisor at SitkaPacific Capital Management, respectively.

The economy is NOT recovering, they say, and the U.S. faces a depressing “eventuality” of either crushing deflation (Shedlock) or runaway inflation (Faber). The timing and type of this eventuality is uncertain, say the gurus, but they are certain it’s too late for America to change course.(emphasis added)

“It’s beyond repair — it’s too late,” to avert fiscal disaster, Faber declares.

Mish agrees: “The day of reckoning has arrived. The question is how long it takes to play out.”

This grim outlook doesn’t mean you’re helpless. Faber recommends individuals prepare for doomsday by buying gold, owning assets abroad and buying property outside of major cities.

Marc Faber: Don’t Expect Another Crash … Bernanke Won’t Allow It

The Bamster won’t be buying you houses or putting gas in your cars. He will be destroying what capital you have and value held in currency, bank accounts and bonds.

Don’t forget what he said before he was elected; he thought that the Constitution was a bad document, since it prevented the Government from redistributing the wealth, your money.

You can phrase that any way you like use nice terms or not, but it comes down to taking your property away from you and giving it to someone else.

Remember, you voted for bozos like them or them!

Joe Biden: ‘We Have to Go Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt’

Vice President Joe Biden told people attending an AARP town hall meeting that unless the Democrat-supported health care plan becomes law the nation will go bankrupt and that the only way to avoid that fate is for the government to spend more money. [snip]

“We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation,” Biden said.

Hey, call me Joe, “My IQ is higher than yours,” what’s the first rule of getting out of a hole? They should have tossed this clown in one of the abandoned Scranton coal shafts and shut up.

He does provide comic relief.
Goebbels stand up routines come to mind. 

Piss off a Liberal today!

Vote the bastards out!

No one will do it for you!

NO REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION!

Don’t let the slackers on the dole vote for your money to go into their pockets.

Sarah Brady warned that concealed carry would lead to a “”Wild West” scene in the streets. Liberals wailed about the potential loss of life and danger of guns in the hands of armed citizens.
Liberals actually worry about the elimination of the wrong person, that would be the perp. You’ve heard all the weepy crap.

Here’s one happy result.

Robber fatally shot in Miami Burger King holdup

A robbery at a Burger King in Miami’s Upper East Side neighborhood left one person dead and another seriously injured.

An afternoon shootout at a busy Burger King restaurant in Miami left a potential robber dead and the customer who shot him seriously wounded.
The bloody event unfolded about 4 p.m. Tuesday at the restaurant at Northeast 54th Street and Biscayne Boulevard. It was a time, employees said, when it is usually crowded with schoolchildren and people getting out of work early.
The robber entered wearing a ski mask. He approached a clerk, showed his gun and demanded money, said Miami police spokesman Jeff Giordano.
A customer eyed him and the two started arguing. The customer had a concealed-weapons permit and his gun — and the two exchanged gunfire.
The robber crumpled to the floor and was pronounced dead at the scene. [snip]

The only bit of stupidity I can find is the citizen argued with the perp. Two rounds in the hat and the citizen wouldn’t have received return fire, hence been wounded. Furthermore, he wouldn’t have endangered others in the restaurant with the errant gunfire by the dirtbag.

The scorecard reads: Concealed Carry—1, Gun Grabbers–0.
A previous post to this subject here at NER.

Now the wounded citizen needs to file a huge civil suit against the perp’s family and estate. Whether they have anything or not is immaterial; one can hope threats of retribution might force families to shoot the bastards before they commit crimes again.
I doubt this was the first trip down this illicit road. No matter, it was his last!

Dressed in his best suit, TOTUS delivered a power speech to the Nation laying out at his feet his economic plans.

Why Carry a gun

There comes a time in every man’s life, when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps; usually it’s when he stops being stupid. I learned that in the military very early; using your hands just hurts your hands. With weapons comes responsibility, regardless whether it is one’s fists, baseball bat, auto, newspaper or soda straw. Laugh not, the last two are very lethal and silent.
God created people; Sam Colt made them equal.

• I don’t carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
• I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
• I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
• I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World.
• I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the real limitations of government.
• I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
• I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
• I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
• I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
• I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
• I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
• Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and gave up being stupid years ago.

Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

• In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
• In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
• Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
• China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated
• Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
• Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
• Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

This must be what the Liberals like for they all go for it in a big way; defenseless people rounded up and exterminated.
In the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million eliminated.

Since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:

• Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
• Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
• Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
• In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!
• While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
• There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such great effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.

England proceeded down this path earlier than OZ; they had the same results earlier. You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. They won’t tell you that London bobbies are now armed and patrol in pairs.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of these history lessons. With guns, we are ‘citizens’. Without them, we are ’subjects’.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is most important above all. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

Switzerland issues every household a gun! Switzerland ’s government trains every adult they issue a rifle. Actually, they issue sub machineguns, the horror of it all.
Switzerland has the lowest gun related crime rate of any civilized country in the world!
It’s a no brainer! Don’t let our government waste millions of our tax dollars in an effort to make all law abiding citizens an easy target.

The Middlebury Institute has promoted Vermont secession. Nothing they have provided shows a grasp of the intricacies faced in this process even if it passed.
Today, Vermont is a cassava root ahead of being a Third World Nation; if not for the earmarks dragged in by Sen. Leahy, it would be one.

These numbers below are probably close, given the level of education in this country.

Secession, Ignorance, and Stupidity:

A recent Zogby/Middlebury Institute poll shows that 22% of Americans believe that “any state or region has the right to peaceably secede and become an independent republic.” Belief in states’ and regions right to secede was especially common among blacks (40%), Hispanics (43%) and people aged 18-24 (40%). Interestingly, Political liberals (32%) were more likely to believe in a right to secession than conservatives (17%). 18% of respondents say they would support a secession movement in their own state, including 24% of southerners.

Constitutional law professor Ann Althouse claims that these poll results show that “all these people [who believe in a right to secession] have the law wrong and don’t seem to know the basics of the history of the Civil War.” She concludes that the pro-secession survey respondents are “fascinatingly stupid.” [snip]

I certainly agree with Ann that much of the public is shockingly ignorant about American history and constitutional law. This is one aspect of the more general widespread political ignorance that I have often written about on this blog and elsewhere (e.g. here and here). At the same time, I don’t think that ignorance is necessarily a sign of stupidity. [snip]

I agree with Althouse, fascinatingly stupid is a mild term however. I think the largest majority of them are clueless to what will be in order.
Unlike Althouse, I would encourage them to secede while they still know everything. And once out they cannot return. Citizenship is revoked.

First lets look at the demographics and their political suasion (this is important): from above

• Blacks–40%
• Hispanics–43%
• 18 to 24–40%
• Political liberals–32%
• Conservatives–17%

There are two groups, which I suspect fit in the prior numbers but listed separately:

• Own state respondents–18%
• Southerners–24%

The odds are good that each group has their own ideas as to how and where to form their country. This may cause some discombobulation in some areas for an unknown duration. For the sake of this discussion, all is amicable; selection and agreement is with minimal delay. People leave who wish to and others arrive all done equitably.

Government

With your own country, you need to form a government and some form of document of guidance. This will be by ballot or bullet. Given the liberal’s past history and for that matter most of the world, I’ll let you guess which method forms the ruling body.

Monetary system

Every country needs to have a means of settling internal debts, trade on the world markets and negotiate as something other than a third world nation. Or did these secessionists think they would use Sam’s money? It doesn’t work that way; you are a sovereign nation, act as one. All we have to do is change the color of the currency, declare the old valueless and issue the new in our banks. Don’t be stupid and think the Government hasn’t all ready printed the necessary notes. Those from the military remember MPC’s being changed to shut down black markets overnight.

Infrastructure

Roadways, airports, hospitals and rail lines are in place. All the new country needs is to equip and staff the existing structures and maintain them. Who says the professionals doing this work now are going to stay there. How will they be paid, housed, fed?
Forget keeping the National Guard equipment, guardsmen stay if they wish, but they are no longer paid nor receive any federal benefits if they do. Why should they, now they are foreign troops.

Business and Industry

Whether you have any industry and business depends on the tax structure. The tax structure depends on the country’s monetary system. If you cannot pay the employees in something other than rubles, your industry moves. No industry, what do you trade for things you need?

Basic services

Most of the listed above believe they will get the same basic services they get now: socialized medicine, welfare, WIC, food stamps, public schools Section 8 housing, police, fire and emergency response and working telephones. Yeah, think about that, working phones,

I encourage the above groups to opt for nationhood; pure emotion drives it and it drives it right into the Swamp of Stupidity.

If this should happen, we need to know who occupies what areas. All borders with new nations are fortified like the Korean 38^th parallel until and if treaties are negotiated.

Stepping back in history, Obama clears up some problems and puts his Hussein on the document. A historical painter from ACORN collective put brush to canvas to capture the moment.

This is more tidy than that unwieldy organ we suffer under daily, isn’t it.

I am an ardent supporter of the 2^nd Amendment.

The SCOTUS ruling upholding the lower courts in Heller produced satisfaction, tempered by the narrowness of the decision. All justices did agree the 2^nd Amendment is an individual right. How four voted against is not comprehensible. Nonetheless, they did and that is worrisome, when the Bill of Rights is subject to a whim.

Obama’s position on the 2^nd Amendment has one more side than a polygon. He finally settled on pro right to own a weapon according to the Bill of Rights, but states and localities can legislate all manner of rules as to where, how and who is elite enough to carry.

At first consideration, this is a typical liberal absurdity. Why have a Bill of rights?

The scales fell from my eyes and the beauty of this logic became apparent. I realized the cramped channel of my logic. I thought only inside the box.

Why restrict Obama’s reasoning to the 2^nd Amendment. Well-crafted legislation in the states and localities can produce highly desirous results in many other amendments, to wit:

1^st Amendment
Any journalist convicted of publishing, printing, broadcasting liberal tripe or causing the aforementioned shall be prohibited from being in possession of writing implements, computers microphones telephones, paper or transmitters and banned from all media contact as a prohibited person.

4^th Amendment
This now applies only to American citizens in the selected states and local areas; all others may be seized and searched. Illegal immigrants may be indentured before deported.

5^th and 6^th Amendments
Depends on who and what they did. The more heinous the crime and undesirable the miscreant gives sanction to more basic diversion.

8^th Amendment
The state and locality will determine bail and punishment, to be dependent on the person held. See 5^th and 6^th

13^th Amendment
No slavery unless the state or locality votes such laws for a specific reason.
Section 2 is void if any state or locality so chooses.

14^th Amendment
This new process makes this amendment null.

15^th Amendment
Voter registration in states and localities so choosing may ban liberals from voting under new mental incompetence laws. This avoids race, color and servitude unless changed under the amended 13^th Amendment
Section 2 is void if any state or locality so chooses.

16^th Amendment
Most states will vote to end income tax. Why send any money to support the remnants of the Constitution.

19^th Amendment
Hey, some places might have changed the 13^th, why not change this one.

24^th Amendment
States and localities may bring back poll and any other voting tax as needed. One never knows when the entities need a new revenue source. They will know whom to tax.
Section 2 is void if any state or locality so chooses.

26^th Amendment
Definitely, this is changed. If anyone isn’t smart enough to drink wisely or own a handgun, he or she isn’t smart enough to vote.
Section 2 is void if any state or locality so chooses.

27^th Amendment
Most localities if not states will write new law on this. Why pay any of these clowns in congress, they don’t do anything.

We have Obama to thank for this enlightenment; it takes a liberal, socialist lawyer to see part of an answer. They never see the unintended consequences.

Democratic voters look like a pretty homogeneous lot. The same nebulous themes of “hope” and “change” that elected Deval Patrick are now being bandied about on the national level by Barack Obama. And rather effectively at that given Obama’s comfortable Iowa win.

Obama has yet to impress me as a deep thinker, but his weak kneed themes make me wonder if he has the stones for the job. He voted “present” 130 times as an Illinois state senator. How many state issues can possibly be that vexing? But Obama partisans are quick to defend him:

They said Mr. Obama cast 4,000 votes in the Illinois Senate and used the present vote to protest bills that he believed had been drafted unconstitutionally or as part of a broader legislative strategy.

So the vote should have been “no” after all. He did take an oath to “defend” the constitution, not offer “protest” votes when it gets trampled on. And if merely voting to defend your beliefs is too daunting a challenge, what would a President Obama do if China invades Taiwan? You get the feeling he’d instruct our UN ambassador to vote “present” during the Security Council deliberations to maintain a Swiss like neutrality. Wouldn’t do to offend anyone after all.

This kind of rudderless indecision would be disastrous on the national and international levels. This man simply doesn’t have the experience to be president. His campaign slogan should really read—”Making change for changes sake and hoping for a plan”.

Anatomy of a political hangover

Listening to the promises made by the candidates, most overstep presidential powers and violate the Constitution. Tax law belongs to the House as does all money bills. Susurrations to the contrary, the President isn’t a King which makes the MSM anointments a futility in progress.

On Clinton–
Rush Limbaugh said last night was the worst night for Hillary since Bill’s second term. Not even close, people, for Communist Hillary, the election of Nixon crushed her ideals. Last night, this Alinsky drone’s pyloric valve seized in the open position, showing her true color.

You will never hear her expound upon her vision for the US. With Clinton, as Yoda said to Luke, “With you, it’s change, always change.” Her idea of change, abolishing the Constitution, doesn’t sound good on the hustings. Afterwards, the loud noise heard off screen was a boomer exploding.

On Edwards–
He wants to make your life better, but not quite the way he made his better. An envious man, he wishes to have more money than the collective you. To accomplish this end, everything will be free on his watch. Wait till you see what that costs. You will be verrucose in short order, waiting in line for universal medical relief. Then again, it would be kinder if he merely sued you. Under current tort laws, at least you keep your dignity.

On Obama–
Same droning sounds as from Silky. Different words used. Obama likes the word hope. We have hope. Hope we can make changes. Change is good for it gives us hope. He has no idea how the real world works. That will never prevent him from lurching into the breech. To give us hope for change, hopefully.

On Huckabee–
Having prodded GOP caucus goers with his RINO horn to get what he wanted, let us see how he dolls up the message for low denomination voters. I do not believe many NH voters place hands on the TV. Anyway, Huckabee is calling the NH primary, the Big Camp Meeting, can I get an AMEN.

On Romney–
Many questions need be asked of the Mitt. Does the U.S. deserve the type of government foisted on MA inmates? Do we need a “Big Dig” in every state? Why is the working population of MA shrinking? Why isn’t the illegal immigration population shrinking?
More to the point, which Mitt is running for office?

On McCain–
He is in the wrong party. That speaks to his good points. There isn’t room for the thought on the dark side.

On Paul–
Collaborating with the Donk moonbat Kucinich, both are investigating the appearance of illegal aliens at Groom Lake aka Area 51, instead of along the border and in meat packing plants. Art Bell is chairman of this primary of two.

On Thompson–
Not running hard while running, this makes one wonder, Wassup! If he keeps dissing the lame stream media, he may become the front-runner rather quickly. More of a Washingtonian politician (person, not place) he says it is about duty, not desire. We’ll see if this reaches fruition.

On the usual perennial weeds–
After signing up for campaign matching funds, they cash the check; spend a minimal amount on electioneering and pocket the rest. This is a common trope for most politicians, usually seen as groveling for power and re-election, and by the older politicians, sex in strange places with alien DNA types. Their attendance is for obfuscating purposes only, this heterophony helps shield the front-runners from real questions.
