I know that the apparatchiks really don't care or even know about this. Doubt that the fraudulent veterans (and non vets) care much either since they've been getting away with it even after it was passed, Tried to avoid all libs today who want to gloat over the Supremes ruling on obamacare since they're sure to confront me at some time prior to the election anyway.

I'll be talking to my brother on Saturday ( a retired hospital administrator0 and get his take and I'd like to talk to you to. Name a time.<=br>
Stay sane, Doc.

Please indulge me while I ruminate on the events of the day. Obamacare upheld - the Bolsheviks in my office were orgasmic in their approval. I think the distinction that it was upheld as a "tax" and not a valid exercise of the Commerce Power is lost on them. If this law had been upheld under the Commerce Clause, our Freedom would be utterly and irrevocably gone - the Government would be able to make a citizen buy any product or service it wanted and the citizen would be without recourse.

Stolen Valor is a different question. I fail to understand why the First Amendment protects flag-burners, pornographers and "posers" but does not protect a Marine Sergeant who publishes a blog critical of the Kenyan-in-Chief.

Wearing a uniform and military medals one is not entitled to wear is protected speech? Does that mean I have the right to dress up as a New York City policeman with all regalia and represent myself as being one of them? I doubt it. So why can some poser dress himself up like a U.S. Marine with service ribbons, medals and badges and pass himself of as a combat vet and have it considered to be protected free speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution?

I'd really like to know, because I'm not a poser, I fought and spilled my blood on the field of battle for this Nation and I'm mad as Hell that some no-account SOB who'd probably soil himself if he ever actually came under fire should be able to wear the same ribbons and medals that I legitimately earned. Answer me that, SCOTUS!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
