Texas fights to stop the EPA’s global warming “power grab”
A recent Supreme Court decision has determined that greenhouse gasses 
are dangerous and because of this they are subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act. With the Senate unable to agree upon a cap and trade bill in the last session the EPA has begun rewriting the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gasses. This is Barack Obama’s “Plan B” to implement cap and trade legislation.
This is nothing more than an attempt by the EPA and the Obama regime to pass a cap and trade bill without ever having the legislation voted on and passed by the Congress. In other words, they are preparing to implement law by dictate.
Homeland Security to grant backdoor amnesty by dropping thousands of deportation hearings
Supporters of comprehensive immigration reform and granting amnesty to illegal aliens use a defense that goes something like this; “we can’t possibly round up all of the illegal aliens and deport them so we have to do something with those that are already here illegally and granting them amnesty would bring them out of the shadows.”
For the sake of this argument I will grant supporters of amnesty the point that we cannot round up all of the illegal aliens and deport them even though I believe immigration sweeps would accomplish capturing many of them. Even if we cannot systematically round them up and deport them, we can deport them one at a time when they are caught.
Currently there are thousands of illegal aliens waiting for deportation hearings in the United States; if these illegal aliens lose their deportation hearings they will naturally be deported. That is how the system works, but the Department of Homeland Security apparently doesn’t like the way the system works because they are reviewing the thousands of deportation hearings and appear ready to drop many of them if the illegal alien in question has not committed an additional crime.
Max Baucus wrote the healthcare bill but did not read it?
Much has been made about the politicians who voted in favor of the healthcare reform legislation without actually knowing what was in it because they didn’t even bother to read what they were voting on, but this takes the cake. Max Baucus is credited with writing the unpopular legislation but at a recent public meeting–when confronted with the question of whether or not he read the healthcare bill–Max Baucus admitted that he had not read the healthcare reform bill before voting on it.
John McCain wins easily in Arizona primary
John McCain has easily won the Arizona Republican primary and will now face re-election in November. This has to be considered a loss for the Tea Party movement no matter how you look at it. John McCain represents the exact type of politician that the Tea Party wants to see defeated.
In such an anti-incumbent atmosphere you would have thought the Tea Party movement would have been able to get out the vote and defeat John McCain, but that didn’t happen and now we are left to wonder if the voter angst that we hear so much about is going to be as big a factor as we believed it would be come November.
Ovide Lamontagne releases first radio ad
Over the past several weeks the local airwaves have been filled with political advertisements from Kelly Ayotte and Bill Binnie. Kelly Ayotte is the well funded ”establishment” candidate who was endorsed by Sarah Palin, while Bill Binnie is a self-made millionaire who has spent millions of his own money in an ad blitz.
I do not harbor ill will towards either Kelly Ayotte or Bill Binnie simply because they have the money to spend on this campaign, but while they are busy attacking each other and claiming that they are the real conservative, the one true conservative in this race is running a grassroots campaign with little money.
Ovide Lamontagne doesn’t have the money that either Kelly Ayotte or Bill Binnie has, but he is on the ground meeting people, building a base, and making a push towards replacing Judd Gregg as the next senator from New Hampshire. I do have to admit that it is frustrating to see the candidate that I support not be able to compete on the airwaves up until this point with the two front-runners in this campaign, but that has changed as Ovide Lamontagne has finally run his first radio spot. I heard it earlier today for the first time, here it is:
Barack Obama’s justice department has argued in court that race can be considered in making immigration arrests
One of the main criticisms of Arizona’s controversial immigration law is the argument that it will lead to racial profiling. Barack Obama’s regime is currently challenging the law based on constitutional jurisdiction, but we all know that one of the main reasons that the regime is challenging this law is because they are trying to appease those that believe this is a racist law.
Arizona’s law requires that a person be stopped for a primary offense first, and if that person is suspected of being here illegally the police have the right to ask for proof of citizenship. This is the part of the law that has seemed to draw the most ire from the left.
Imagine my surprise when I read this story about how the Obama justice department has argued in court at least three times that race can be used as a factor in arresting a person believed to be in the country illegally.
Charlie Rangel lashes out at Barack Obama’s “dignity” remark
Barack Obama has learned quite a bit from Joe Biden–every time he opens his mouth he sticks his foot in it. The latest example of Barack Obama’s “open mouth, insert foot” disease comes from the comment he made regarding Charlie Rangel’s indictment on corruption charges when he stated that it was time for Charlie Rangel to “end his career with dignity.”
I happen to agree with Barack Obama, it is beyond time for Charlie Rangel to end his career.
The hits just keep on coming for the imam behind the building of the Ground Zero mosque–Feisal Abdul Rauf–this time for having stated that the sanctions against Iraq were an act of terrorism.
We must understand, terrorism is any act of violence which is waged on non-combatants or civilians with a political objective
He uttered those words while speaking about the United Nations imposed sanctions on Iraq. I would ask Feisal Abdul Rauf whether or not he considered Saddam Hussein a terrorist–besides the horrible acts he authorized during his reign, the wood chipper comes to mind here–after all, didn’t Saddam Hussein take the money from the “oil for food program” he was supposed to use to feed Iraqis and use it instead to enrich himself? According to Feisal Abdul Rauf’s definition of terrorism, that scandal alone would qualify Saddam Hussein as a terrorist.
Ground Zero mosque imam claims America is worse than al-Qaeda
We are slowly but surely beginning to learn more about Feisal Abdul Rauf–the imam behind the Ground Zero mosque–and the more we learn about him the more we have to question his motives behind building a mosque on this location.
We already know that Feisal Abdul Rauf called America “an accessory to the crime,” in reference to the September 11th attacks, but now we have learned that this imam has also stated that the United States is worse than al-Qaeda.
Judge rules against Barack Obama’s stem cell policy
Today a United States justice stopped Barack Obama’s policy of providing federal funding of embryonic stem cell research stating that it violates the Dickey-Wicker Amendment that is added every year to the federal budget.
The Dickey-Wicker Amendment specifically bans the use of federal funding for the destruction of human embryos. Judge Royce Lamberth ruled that embryonic stem cell research did in fact destroy human embryos, therefore the Obama regime’s policy of providing federal funding to this procedure is against the law.
