The Conservative — My Interpretation

April 28, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 15:00 PM

Thank you George!

By George Rusling

After reading an article written by David Limbaugh, I sat down and pondered our current Federal Executive branch and what I believe the truth to be. Recently, Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 Administrator, Al Armendariz was caught on video articulating his view of the agency’s role in enforcing its regulations.

Armendariz said: “It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a little Turkish town somewhere; they’d find the first five guys they saw, and they’d crucify them. Then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years. … It’s a deterrent factor.”

As Limbaugh noted, this man should be fired — yesterday! The White House press secretary says Armendariz wasn’t expressing the attitude of the administration but sadly, that’s precisely what he was doing, and it shows in almost every Obama agency.

The Obama administration’s recurring abuses are simply the logical extension of liberal, self-righteous certainty of the superiority of its ideas, which invariably leads to dictatorial usurpation’s and lawlessness from the ruling class. To a point, the same could be said of many conservatives, but there are major differences, only one of which we’ll examine here.

Liberals are sure, not only that their ideas and policies are more effective but also that they are morally imperative — and that conservative ideas and policies are not just ineffective but also woefully immoral. The view that our Constitution is a “living document” is totally Progressive-Liberal from its inception. Case in point, the recent HHS pronouncement that religious liberty no longer extends to the arena of healthcare insurance, despite the clear demands of the 1st Amendment to the contrary.

Real conservatives (as opposed to the in-name-only type) do not subscribe to the maxim that the end justifies the means. Their first allegiance, in terms of politics and statecraft, is to the Constitution and the rule of law. They don’t believe they have the right to thwart or circumvent the Constitution or rewrite it judicially to advance their ideas and policies, no matter how important they think they are.

This is not simply because we are better adherents of the rule of law, but also because of the high value we place on the Constitution. Our reverence for the Constitution is not a matter of idolatry or some romantic abstraction; it flows from our conviction that it is the indispensable foundation of our political and economic liberty, such that safeguarding its integrity is paramount.

Leftists — not fully appreciating the essential link between our Constitution and our liberty, or maybe, just not valuing either to the extent conservatives do — are much more willing to subordinate and undermine the Constitution when it serves their purpose, all the while paying lip service to their allegiance to it. Further, the left, not comprehending conservatives’ commitment to these principles, tends to believe, through projection, that conservatives operate the same way — that we, too, would casually throw the Constitution under the bus to achieve our own ends.

For most, that simply isn’t true. We don’t advocate using the courts to make policies that are the constitutional prerogative of the legislative and executive branches, nor do we condone abuses of executive authority by the president himself, his unaccountable czars or his rogue administrative agencies to achieve our political ends. We understand that for a court to judicially legislate conservative policy is just as dangerous to the Constitution — and thus, ultimately, to our liberties — as it is for it to legislate liberalism. We realize that for a conservative administration to do end runs around the legislative branch or the Constitution is as damaging to our liberties as similar abuses by a liberal administration. This is why most conservatives (like Glenn Beck) condemned many of the activities of the recent Bush administration.

Please understand that when liberals abuse their power in these ways, it won’t work for them to throw out cynical claims of moral equivalence, as in “conservatives are every bit as guilty of these abuses as we are.” That might fool their fellow cynics and the uninformed, but it’s fantasy. This is not because we are morally superior but because a vital component of our commitment to the bilateral social contract is that we protect and defend the Constitution, and thus the right of Liberals to also advocate for what they feel is good and proper.

So every time the Obama administration abuses its power in furtherance of its political ends, true conservatives are not just upset that the destructive liberal agenda is being advanced by fiat. We aren’t just outraged at its lawlessness. More importantly, we are horrified that it is thereby removing more and more bricks from our nation’s constitutional foundation, our republic and our liberties, to the point where we go out, demonstrate at “Tea Parties” then buy more guns and stockpile more ammunition against what we see as that inevitable day … !


Drop the I-Word’s Mónica Novoa Gets Flayed on Factor

April 27, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 23:28 PM

Mónica Novoa is coordinator of the Drop the I-Word public education campaign, a platform for people nationwide to drop the dehumanizing, racist slur “illegals,” and to ask that the media do the same.

Ms. Novoa is touted as a seasoned communications strategist and organizer.

Unfortunately for her and the organization she represents she hardly came off as a seasoned anything but foolish young woman.

Entering the No Spin Zone with Bill O’Reilly did one thing for Ms. Novoa and Drop the I-Word … it gave the public another example of how over the top looney toons some of these left wing radicals actually are.

O’Reilly asked her if she came here legally and she at first said no … then recanted and said yes.

In another interview HERE she states this:

Her family left El Salvador in 1982, when federal troops were targeting teachers and other intellectuals for intimidation and slaughter. Novoa said her father was a teacher and a leftist. When she was 3, coyotes–guides for undocumented immigrants–took the family through Guatemala, Mexico and a torn border fence into California.

I don’t know perhaps something is being lost in the translation from where these people hail and their US education on the verbiage we use here in the states.

ILLEGAL ALIEN means someone who has crossed into the USA ILLEGALLY (a felony I might add).
WOP = with out papers.
Dehumanizing?
GET REGISTERED or go back whence you came.
Or keep quiet!
Problem solved!


Holder not shocked at voter fraud, what a surprise!

April 25, 2012

Of course Attorney General Holder is not shocked at this hole in voting practice security.

Why do you think Holder and this administration are doing their best to block voter ID?
If we have a fair vote Barack Obama loses by a landslide!

Rep. Trent Franks, Rep. Steve King and Cleta Mitchell speak about Project Veritas Voter Fraud video before House Judiciary Committee. There were reports that Nadler and Rep. Conyers were stunned and surprised by the Holder video and asked their staffers what it was about.

“It hardly inspires the public confidence that a white 20-something can obtain the ballot of the first black Attorney General.” – Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ)

“I’m shocked that the Attorney General isn’t shocked. I’m shocked that the Attorney General hasn’t offered a response to this in a meaningful way… It took James O’Keefe to get this ACORN issue brought before America.” – Rep. Steve King (R-IA)


Is Your Retirement the Next Government Ripoff?

It is not enough that the government chooses not to cut its spending, fraud, corruption and graft. Now they are considering tapping into your retirement funds to pad their books.

They have thought about it before but it never took off.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner threatened to tap the Federal Workers Retirement funds if the Debt Ceiling was not raised in May of 2011. The ceiling was raised.

Well now they are thinking about it again.
Only this time it is your 401K or IRA money.


Barack and Michelle Obama the Nuevo Reich.

April 23, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 17:55 PM

Perhaps it pays to be older with a little experience and maturity under your belt. I suppose that gives you a head start on simply observing behavior of others.

It did not take long before I noticed and wrote about the immature behavior of Barack Obama and his wife Michelle on this blog.

It did not take them long to lap up (take the utmost advantage) the White House lifestyle.

Nuevo Reich (the newly rich) who normally are classless as well as clueless fit this couple to a tee.

Unfortunately a certain segment of society is equally as doltish and does not have a clue there is a problem with the picture.

This lavish Obama lifestyle is finally getting noticed and discussed by the main stream media.

Like everything else with THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA … they are a day late and a dollar short.

No wonder they are fast going broke and losing credibility :)

All in all I suppose we must be grateful all that golf and vacationing on our dime keeps him out of the White House screwing more things up.


Mitch Daniels signs bill allowing force against unlawful police entry

April 19, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 10:01 AM

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has signed into law a bill that would allow residents to use force against police that they believe to be unlawfully entering their home:

“The governor’s office says that Daniels signed the bill aimed at giving people the right to defend their homes against illegal entry by police Tuesday evening.

The bill that was a response to a public uproar over a state Supreme Court ruling last year that residents couldn’t resist officers even during an illegal entry.

Supporters say the proposal strengthens the legal rights of people against government agents improperly entering their homes. But police groups worry about the measure giving people justification for attacking officers.”

This bill precariously straddles the line between rightfully protecting one’s home and giving incentive for unnecessary violence. The distinction must be made between the unlawful entry of a police officer and that of any other person. The intent of the former, be it correct or not, is to enforce law with as little violence as possible. The intent of any other intruder is to steal property or bring harm to an occupant, and thus always merits force against the intruder.

The bill clarifies when a person is legally justified in using force and when they are not, but codifying this sort of legal defense may encourage residents to make that distinction by means of physical force instead of jurisprudence.


How involved is Eric Holder and the DOJ shaping the Trayvon Martin dust up?

Holder, Secretive DOJ Group Helped Oust Sanford Sheriff

The rest of the story …An Orlando Sentinel article detailing how the Department of Justice’s secretive Community Relations Service worked to bring about Sheriff Lee’s ouster raises troubling questions about the Obama administration’s involvement, especially when coupled with the cozy relationship that Attorney General Eric Holder has with one of the lead Trayvon Martin agitators, the Rev. Al Sharpton.

What is the DOJ’s Community Relations Service? The Sentinel article, entitled “DOJ ‘peacemakers’ helped Sanford stay cool amid rising tension,” paints a generally rosy, if slightly creepy, picture of the organization and its role during the Trayvon Martin shooting and the aftermath:

In their Navy blue windbreakers, polo shirts and dark sunglasses, they look like federal agents.
Their caps are embroidered with the Justice Department’s seal. They watch and listen silently. But they say little publicly.

When reporters try to chat them up, they remain stoic, saying simply they cannot talk to the media.

The peacekeepers have a specific mandate outlined in the 1964 Civil Rights Act to go into conflict zones within American communities that perceive discrimination or feel wronged because of their particular race, color or national origin.


More on Mitt Romney (Blood Money)?

April 16, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 9:36 AM

Mitt Romney at the center of one of the biggest Medicare frauds?
Damon Clinical Laboratories was the company Mitt Romney and Bain were the take over guys.

Romney supervised a company guilty of massive medical fraud.
Did he know?
If not he should have known!

Finally Damon Clinical Laboratories agreed to a $119 million settlement with U.S. Government

One thing we as citizens can count on is an exposure of past deeds.

That is the good part of the internet.
How factual these exposures might be is up to the individual.

It is time for each citizen to wake up and smell the coffee. Do some research of your own then decide for yourself.

We got here by being lazy and listening to someone elses opinion.


Ted Nugent fires back at Secret Service probe

April 15, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 21:14 PM

by Joe Kovacs

Rock legend Ted Nugent is firing back at reports the U.S. Secret Service is targeting him for a harshly critical speech of the Obama administration he delivered at the National Rifle Association over the weekend.

The longtime advocate for gun rights compared President Obama and the Democrats to an unwanted animal visiting someone’s home.

“It isn’t the enemy that ruined America,” he said, affirming his support for Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney.

“It’s good people who bent over and let the enemy in. If the coyote’s in your living room pissing on your couch, it’s not the coyote’s fault. It’s your fault for not shooting him.”

Nugent had said in his address that “if Barack Obama becomes the president in November, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

“If you can’t go home and get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile, evil, America-hating administration, I don’t even know what you’re made of,” he said at the NRA.

Nugent’s words got even more descriptive at times, calling Obama a criminal and saying his administration is “wiping its a– with the Constitution.”

He also flayed four Supreme Court justices for what he says is their stance against Americans’ “right to keep and bear arms.”

He ended with a call to politically decapitate Democrats in November: “We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?”

The Secret Service told ABC News it is aware of Nugent’s comments and conducting “the appropriate follow-up.”

“I spoke at the NRA and I will stand by my speech. It was 100 percent positive,” Nugent told the Dana Loesch radio show today. “It’s about we the people taking back our American dream from the corrupt monsters in the federal government under this administration and the communist czars he’s appointed.”

“See, I’m a black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally, and there are some power-abusing corrupt monsters in our federal government that despise me because I have the audacity to speak the truth to identify the violations of our government, particularly Eric Holder and the president and Tim Geithner, ad nauseam,” Nugent told Loesch.

“I have never in my life threatened anyone’s life. I’m incapable of threatening anyone’s life. Because I’m about positive change, my entire speech, all my articles,” he later added.

Nugent also had choice words for Democratic National Committee chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz as well as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, both of whom he referred to as “varmints.”

“Varmints are sometimes clever, but they are really easy to outmaneuver,” he said. “If you just listen to Wasserman Schultz, just watch the lady talk, listen to her words, examine her voting record. Listen to Nancy Pelosi, this sub-human scoundrel … these government monsters are so out of control. I’m using my First Amendment.

“The job of we the people is to spotlight cockroaches, and come November we’re going to stomp them at the voting booth,” he said.

The NRA has posted video of an interview with Nugent from over the weekend, with some provocative rhetoric around the 5:00 mark:


Ann Rosen and phony womans war?

April 14, 2012
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 16:09 PM

I’m sorry but it was the Democrats who started this foolish boo hoo lets divide women bullcrap over contraception.

The Republicans have called them out on it and Rosen (like most of the other deluded Democrats) are crying foul … it’s not us it’s them?

Now she is taking heat for her comments and wants to declare peace?

“I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended,” … “Let’s declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance.”

NO LET’S NOT!

Let’s instead call a spade a spade and name Ms. Rosen an ill informed half twit!

Anyone managing a household of 5 children with all of the ramifications of that job is certainly far more qualified than Ms. Rosen to advise about ANYTHING.

How about zipping it dear unless you like sporting the latest seasons “stupid look”!

Do these people EVER STOP AND THINK before they open their mouths?

Apparently not!
