Indeed, this needs to be stated over and over again.
Any time someone plays the race card, or the woman card, the gay card, or the elderly card -
“liberals can’t defend their corrupt agenda, so they bring up distractions like you just did.”
Generally, they do it by accusing conservatives of exactly what they, the liberals, are doing.
Rush is right on.
Thank you, Sandra Fluke, for getting our guy fired up. And thanks for driving so many curiosity seekers to his show for the first time. Nothing like a good controversy to boost ratings.
The worst thing that could happen would be for the USSC to reach some sort of “compromise” on their ruling, out of their desire to be a non-influence in the upcoming Presidential elections.
Did Rush explain the details of the severability issue that he learned from the judge?
Marxism in all its numerous shapes and guises and forms has had well over a century to demonstrate its superiority. Its greatest "accomplishment" was the murders of over 100 million people by their own government during the twentieth century. The rest of the record consists of poverty, oligarchy, dictatorship, political prisons, show trials, more poverty, shoddy engineering and manufacturing, and special treatment for the vanguard of the revolution.
The road is paved with distractions. It’s like a magic show, you don’t want the audience seeing what you are really doing so you give them something else to look at.
My response there would apply here.
This comment on Justice Breyer's nonsensical musings, when combined with those of Justice Kagan, should alarm every citizen who cherishes the Constitution's underlying principles, as articulated and explained by America's Founders and Framers of that Constitution's protections for liberty.
My post from another thread related to Kagan:
"Kagan: "'The exact same argument so, so that really reduces to the question of: why is a big gift from the federal government a matter of coercion?
"'In other words, the federal government is here saying: we’re giving you a boatload of money. There are no, is no matching funds requirement. There are no extraneous conditions attached to it.
"'It’s just a boatload of federal money for you to take and spend on poor people’s healthcare. It doesn’t sound coercive to me, I have to tell you.'"
This statement tells us everything we need to know about Justice Kagan's concept of "coercive power" versus "individual liberty" and the Constitution's protections for the latter.
America's Founders viewed "government" as "coercive" by nature.
America's Founders understood that "government" creates no money, has no money, and cannot "gift" money without first "taking" it from someone--a "coercive" act in itself.
Besides, this "boatload of money" is not "federal money." It is "the People's" money, and who is naive or uninformed enough to believe that "taking" it from the people, sending it to Washington, and then doling it out to the States is an efficient way to provide "poor people's health care"????
Oh, how far we have come from the genius and wisdom which gave birth to America's Constitution, America's liberty for all, and America's prosperity and greatness!!!
I hope that these members of the Supreme Court will understand that future generations of Americans and individuals all over the world, given the new technologies which enable them to study the Founders' ideas, will judge them by the Framers' standards, not by the standards of the so-called "progressive" politicians in this Administration.
"Ideas have Consequences" (Weaver). America's Founders' ideas produced freedom, opportunity, prosperity and plenty for hundreds of millions of oppressed people.
The "progressives'" ideas of redistribution (socialism) have produced approaching tyranny and oppression, mediocrity, and want, in every society where they have been tried.
Rush is right - liberals are bullies. And that crap liberals do with the MSM ( their BIG MSM brother who will beat you up if you don’t get in line - their line) - it’s all crap. Millions of Americans don’t stand with them - look how many people have dropped their newspaper subscriptions - look at the numbers who quit watching network news. Quit buying liberal magazines. The country is fed up - the smartest know and they’re spreading the word - young people know and they’re rebelling against the liberals. People trust used car salesmen about on the same level as your local (once respected) newspaper editor). What is happening to our world?
Oh! I got linked on Gateway Pundit! Hot diggity!
Rush’s ability to PAINT the PICTURE clearly and honestly is a Godsend.
