This web site is merely a series of blogs that will cover several issues dear to us. We will look at the many items which threatened the Socio-Economic & Political structures of our country as well as those issues which threaten Judeo-Christian ethics - the ideals upon which this country was founded. As a contributor to Townhall.com and Politico.com we have found the need to use the internet to get the word out of the predicament in which our nation finds itself. As bloggers and political pundits we add our voices to those who believe that a limited government and personal responsibility is necessary for life in this republic to flourish. If you need to tag us with a title to describe our ideological viewpoint then you can call us "Paleoconservatives." As you surf through this website you will see how this best pinpoints our philosophy. |

MEET OBAMA'S "TERRORISTS RIGHTS" ADVOCATE
If
President Obama has his way,
Attorney General Eric Holder will soon be joined at the Justice
Department by another terrorist rights advocate,
Dawn Johnsen. Obama has nominated her to lead the Justice
Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. Given her
opposition to enhanced interrogation of terrorist suspects, she
provides yet another example that the Obama administration still
views Islamic terrorists as criminal defendants entitled to full
constitutional protections in civil trials, not as unlawful enemy
combatants. As if we needed any more evidence!
The New York Times, unsurprisingly, is upset about what its editorial today called ”an unreasonable delay” in getting Dawn Johnsen confirmed:
Majority Leader Harry Reid should do what it takes to get the full Senate to vote promptly and to get her confirmed. A year is far too long for such an important position to go unfilled.
The best way to fill the Office of Legal Counsel position is to withdraw this left-wing ideologue’s nomination and start over.
Johnsen’s ideas verge on insanity. For example, as director of NARAL (then the National Abortion Rights Action League, since renamed NARAL Pro-Choice America), she equated pregnancy with slavery in a brief filed with the Supreme Court in a landmark abortion case.
Ms. Johnsen was also an ACLU staffer during the late 1980’s, after which she was President Bill Clinton’s Deputy Assistant Attorney General. Oblivious to the terrorist attacks that occurred during the Clinton administration in which she served, she has since painted George W. Bush as the enemy of our freedoms and has attacked every significant anti-terrorist measure that Bush implemented to keep the country safe after 9/11.
If Johnsen is confirmed, expect more civil trials for captured al Qaeda leaders and operatives. And expect made-up arguments to twist the Constitution into a charter for enacting what she has called the “progressive agenda,” including “the full range of economic justice issues.” She is just the sort of progressive radical whom Glenn Beck has been warning about.
With Eric Holder and Dawn Johnsen as leaders at the Department of Justice, terrorist detainees will be tried with all the rights that American citizens possess and will no doubt be entitled to ”economic justice” as well under the “progressive agenda.”

THE KEYSTONE TO OUR RESTORATION: THE 10TH AMENDMENT
Here's a novel idea for Presidents when time to choose Federal judges: use the 10th Amendment as the litmus test instead of Roe vs. Wade and DOMA. Please view the following 4-and-a-half minute feature on this regularly ignored Amendment contained in the Bill of Rights...

WHY DIG INTO MORE DEBT WHEN YOU CAN SOAR?
I was able to listen in on a bloggers conference call today as two
congressmen, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Chief Deputy Republican Whip) and
Jim Jordan (R-OH, Committee on the Budget Member), discussed today's
House
vote to increase the debt limit. Congressman McCarthy noted that
this was the "largest one-time increase in the debt limit ever," and
larger than the GDPs of Ireland, Belgium and Poland...
combined.
Regarding the "unprecedented spending, borrowing and tax increases," Congressman Jordan added that the OMB Director, Peter Orszag, admitted to Congressman Campbell the other day that the president's budget is "unsustainable." McCarthy then bemoaned how this extensive borrowing is threatening our liberty, making us beholden to other countries. He compared this to how the dollar originally became the world currency, when, after WWII, the U.S. declined a request for an interest-free, $5 billion loan to a war-ravaged Britain, choosing instead to loan half that amount with 2 percent interest.
The congressmen also discussed the president's proposed spending freeze. Because it only applies to a small percentage of the budget, Jordan referred to the freeze as "frankly a joke... like ordering four big macs and four large fries and -- oh yeah -- make that a diet coke." McCarthy emphasized the irony that Obama himself has signed spending bills that have increased non-defense discretionary spending a whopping 84 percent.

PRESIDENT OBAMA AND THE NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST
This is an ecumenical gathering, and Obama was precisely that, warmly acknowledging the different faiths assembled. On the other hand, Obama was so ecumenical that he never once mentioned “Jesus” or “Christ” or called himself a follower of Jesus Christ or a Christian. It wasn’t as if the president was pinched for text; this was a 2,000-word oration, with numerous figures mentioned.
The most common figure in this speech was Barack Obama. In a 17-minute address, one that included the word “humility,” Obama referred to himself 30 times. He thereby continued the brisk pace of at least one self-reference per minute on rapid display in his lengthy State of the Union address the previous week.

THE CONSTITUTION AND FREEDOM
The 10th Amendment is the last bastion charter left for the promotion and preservation of States' Rights. In this video, Judge Andrew Napolitano explains the role of the states under the Constitution. Watch and listen to the 6 minute clip as the Judge explains the erosion of our freedoms for the sake of a strong Federal government, one which rules our very lives to the core.
