Once again I've come to the point that I've had enough and I need to blow off some steam here on my little corner of the internet. It seems that's how it goes...I see and hear and read things over time until the point that I've just had it, and I'm either going to go batshit crazy, resign myself to the idea that America is doomed, or furiously attack my keyboard.
Aren't you glad I usually choose option "C"?

Before I start ranting, I'm going to take a minute to shamelessly plug the latest in a series of books by one of my favorite authors, Vince Flynn. Kill Shot was released today and is a prequel to all but one of the other books in the series of thrillers featuring Mitch Rapp, the country's most lethal terrorist hunter. In fact, he is SO bad-ass that while the bogeyman checks under his bed for Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Mitch Rapp. For readers that were fans of the Fox series "24", Vince Flynn's books are right up your alley. I can't wait to start reading it on my NOOK tonight. (Yeah, another shameless plug.)
OK, back to business. The tipping point for me this afternoon was learning that the Obama administration has appointed an official advocate for illegal aliens. Evidently, this person will be the point of contact for "concerns, questions, recommendations or other issues" that illegals or their buddies (community organizers) here in the United States wish to express. This position reports up through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.
That's right, folks. The Department of Homeland Security has a sympathetic ear for criminals that breach the security of our homeland by crossing our borders illegally.
Seriously? Why don't we just give them a big fat wad of cash and a pamphlet showing how to obtain every taxpayer-funded benefit available to them as we welcome them across the border?
It's not enough that the Obama administration has ordered DHS and ICE to stop deporting illegals unless they have some ridiculously heinous track record of violent crime. Now, our tax dollars are being used to pay the salary of some schmuck that is an official advocate for foreign criminals on American soil. That just pisses me off. What's next...a free ticket to America and an advocate for terrorists at Guantanamo?
We have GOT to get rid of this pinhead in the Oval Office come November. Then, we need to get rid of every other idiot politician sympathetic to illegal alien lawbreaking scum.
Next, from the Hate America wing of the Judicial Branch of the Federal Government...we have Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal activist justice on the United States Supreme Court, telling a crowd of Egyptians that they shouldn't use the U.S. Constitution as a model as they work towards forming a new government. Rather, she says, they should have a look at the constitution of South Africa...or basically any other nation formed after WWII.
Only mildly offensive to most Americans, on its surface. But the kicker is her reasoning. Essentially, she bemoans our founding document because it is so old, behind the times, and inflexible. While she didn't say it, she undoubtedly believes - as does the New York Times - that the Constitution should guarantee the right to food, health care, and education.
Now folks, the Supreme Court is the highest authority in the land, responsible for determining whether laws passed by legislative machinery at all levels of government throughout the country are, in fact, Constitutional. The justices are supposed to be experts on the subject of the Constitution, which you cannot be without also having read the Federalist Papers. These papers are a collection of letters and notes written by the founding fathers as they were going through the process of drafting our Constitution.
Many people believe the founding fathers - Jefferson in particular - were adamant that the Constitution was not intended to be subject to evolving interpretation. There was debate and disagreement among them, but in the end that is why parts of the Constitution were left vague and a mechanism for its amendment exists. It is only considered "inflexible" and "behind the times" by those who oppose it's principles - or advocate ideas that would never pass muster with We the People.
Hell, even Obama acknowledges it. This weekend, he said, "Our founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes." For once, Obama said something smart that I agree with. The Constitution was written that way and made hard to change by design.
Justice Ginsburg would do well to appear less foolish while representing the United States abroad.
Moving right along...this from the Department of It's Only Racist if You're White...the City of Brotherly Love has been anything but over the past few months. One of the latest stories about the violence in Philadelphia involves a group of ten black teenagers who swarmed a taxi stopped at a red light and brutally beat the white driver and white passenger.
Seems that the thugs won't be facing "hate crime" charges. Unfortunately, I have NO doubt in my mind that if the races were reversed in this story, it would be the hate crime of the century, complete with marches by community organizers, Black Panthers, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and all the other race hustlers we hear about in the news these days.
We'd hear Obama talk about how the taxi driver "stupidly" drove into the wrong neighborhood, and then we'd never hear from those ten racist white thugs until they were up for parole in twenty years.
I guess you have to be a "brotha" for it to be the City of Brotherly Love.
