W. – The Measure of the Man

By now, you’ve seen the image.

President George W. Bush, hugging a little boy.

The image is making the rounds on social media, forwarded, tweeted and shared by conservatives.

To say it’s a compelling image is a gross understatement.

President Bush has been on a week long trip to Africa. Not for photo ops but to work. He’s been in Zambia helping to restore a clinic as part of the Pink Ribbon/Red Ribbon Project, getting dirty and covered with paint.

The clinic serves Zambian women being treated for cervical cancer.

The press won’t leave him alone though I rather believe he wishes they would. He’d get more work done if they did but, he’s the former President and wherever he goes, cameras and microphones will follow.

Zambia’s First Lady, Christine Kaseba stated, “It was really amazing seeing a former president getting involved in physical work for the love of saving women’s lives. It made me feel proud to be a Zambian woman, knowing that Americans are getting down to do dirty and laborious work like paint, not minding the dust, the surroundings but focusing on helping the Zambian women.”

The First Lady said that President Bush’s, “project has the capacity of not only changing the face of cervical cancer in Zambia but in Africa as a whole.”

Friday Fume

Well my friends, we’ve made it through another week. It’s been an odd week with Independence Day smack in the middle of it and while many have hit the road on vacations…Here we sit, at The National Patriot, keeping track of the liberal dipsticks that don’t reach all the way to the oil pan.

Today, we are exactly 4 months from the most important election since 1860 and liberal/socialists are getting desperate.

If we expect nothing more from them we’ll never be disappointed.

It’s Friday, Patriots, and…

I’m fuming.

Hmmm…Down Texas way…it seems that while trying to implement a voter ID law to add validity to the voting there…Texas has hit the Holder ROAD BLOCK.

Well…There’s a shock.

As the case over the Texas Voter ID law heads to court next week, it appears that Holder has employed…

THE CATALIST GROUP…to gather information.

CATALIST has quite the client list. Obama’s 2008 election campaign, the Democratic Governors Association, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the American Civil Liberties Union, NARAL – Pro-Choice America Foundation, and the Texas Democratic Trust.

GEE WIZ…WERE ALL THE DOJ’S INVESTIGATORS TOO BUSY DOING AN IN DEPTH INVESTIGATION ON LEAKS COMING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE OR IGNORING THE CONTEMPT CHARGES TO WORK ON KEEPING VOTER FRAUD A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE PROCESS IN TEXAS???

Congressman Lamar Smith sent a letter to HOLDER complaining about the partisan effort to squelch the Texas Voter ID law but…

1775 or 2012 – Separated by Centuries Not by Issues

236 years ago, yesterday, a nation rose from tyranny and oppression. A people, with unalienable rights endowed by the Creator, had had enough of Imperial rule and said so boldly, courageously and with the knowledge that they had a choice.

Patrick Henry understood that choice.

In a speech before the Virginia House of Burgesses, on March 23, 1775, Henry swung the vote convincing his Colony to send troops to the Revolutionary War when he proclaimed, “What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!”

12 years earlier, Patrick Henry, a bar keeper turned attorney had argued in a case that the King was but “a tyrant who forfeits the allegiance of his subjects.”

In 1765, a law student and guest in the House of Burgesses, Thomas Jefferson, listened while, regarding the Stamp Act, Henry offered resolutions to nullify them. Henry, at that time, was met with fierce opposition and his resolutions were termed as treasonous to the King. What Patrick Henry said in response, lit the fire in Jefferson that would lead him to be elected to the House of Burgesses 6 years later.

Muskets Would Have Never Been Issued

Yesterday, the town of Depoe Bay, Oregon, cancelled their annual Independence Day fireworks celebration. This had been a well attended tradition since 1993.

By well attended, I don’t just mean that people turned out to watch the display but, they made a day of it and it had become a great boost to the local economy. Shop owners and restaurants, lodging establishments and gas stations had come to rely on the annual celebration.

Now, it’s gone and for what?

The birds.

That right, because of a bunch of Brandt’s Cormorants that apparently nest a mile from the bay where the fireworks USED to be shot off.

It seems there’s a bunch of bird brains who are scared that the Cormorants are scared of the fireworks and, well, they just can’t have THAT now, can they?

Sorry but, I’m not buying it.

It makes one wonder though, doesn’t it? Where we would be today had liberal/socialist, tree hugging namby pambies been ruling the roost 236 years ago?

Let’s take today’s liberal mentality and head back to the birth of this nation, shall we?

Obama’s Back to the Future Campaign

Scare tactics and conservative conspiracy theories?

Go ahead and tell me I’m wrong but in order to have a valid argument, you’ll have to prove how past actions don’t lead to future reality.

If the Emperor maintains the throne, what can we expect in the next 4 years?

Liberals will laugh at you if you share this with them but, it’s always been a poker “tell” when they stary laughing. They’re tipping their hand. The faster they start laughing, the closer you are to the exact truth and the harder they laugh, trying to drown you out, the more spot on you are in what you’re telling them.

When the name calling starts, you have exposed their truth and they don’t like it not one little bit.

When they start slapping labels on you like…Racist or…Certifiably crazy or…Birther…it’s a tell that they are absolutely desperate to make YOU the focus rather than the TRUTH.

To predict the future of America under another 4 years of Obama we first need to examine his past behavior.

Everything he’s done in the last 3 ½ years is a foreshadowing of the future with the Emperor on the Throne.

He has, for his entire term, unilaterally decided what laws would or would not be defended. He started with the Defense of Marriage Act and has run it all the way to Immigration. Existing laws mean nothing compared to his agenda.

If you haven’t been a fan of his existing law sidestepping and Imperial Orders thus far…Oh just wait…

Obamacare IS a Fundamental Transformation Tax

Obamacare is THE largest TAX INCREASE, the most deceitfully CONTRIVED and UNSCRUPULOUSLY passed bill in American history!!!

As a law, Chief Justice Roberts was absolutely CORRECT in finding it CONSTITUTIONAL as a TAX law and THAT is as FAR as I believe he could possibly go in his ruling. The Supreme Court had no choice but to hear arguments and adjudicate upon the MERITS of the law itself and in that light, Chief Justice Roberts was 100% correct or…Was he?

Here’s a MAJOR problem though…According to the Anti Injunction Act from March 2nd, 1867…NO TAX LAW CAN BE ADJUDICATED UNTIL AFTER IT TAKES EFFECT and in the case of Obamacare, the Supreme Court should NOT have ruled on it in whole…AS A TAX LAW…until after 2018 but that would require yet ANOTHER round in 2 years at the High Court.

Now then, what neither he nor any of the Supreme Court could do, considering the nature of the action by which it was BROUGHT to the Highest Court, was adjudicate it upon the MANNER in which it was passed. I suggest that had THAT aspect been the focus of the case, the outcome may well have been QUITE different.

Roberts and the Court found it to be a TAX law and CONSTITUTIONAL because it’s a TAX law.

Oh…Obama TOLD us it WASN’T a tax and that nobody in the middle class would see THEIR taxes go up…”Not one single dime.” But…And I know this will come as a GREAT shock…Obama was lying. He wasn’t misspoken. He wasn’t misquoted. He wasn’t taken out of context. He wasn’t misunderstood or any of the rest of the lame excuses so often used by politicians.

It’s NOT conservative spin, right wing propaganda, parsing of words, misrepresentation by the right, racist, scare tactics or any of the other things the liberal/socialists are want to use as dismissive talking points or labels either.

Obama was flat out, bald faced, down and dirty, through is teeth, without blinking an eye and without a second thought…

LYING!!!

And one can EASILY believe he was LYING because HE, and a handful of others, KNEW that the ONLY way to obtain passage of Obamacare, was to proceed Unconstitutionally and WITHOUT a SHRED of ethics nor rules adhered to.

Here is how it went down and WHY it SHOULD be regarded as UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
