Ezra Klein, a liberal, hates the US Constitution

Smug liberal moron blogger Ezra Klein thinks that the US Constitution is “too confusing” because it was written more than 100 years ago.  He also said that the text is confusing, even though the text is actually written very clearly.  (Meanwhile, these are the folks who pass 2,000+ page unreadable bills in the middle of the night!)  Liberals hate the US Constitution because of what it seeks to clarify: that the government is limited to protecting individual rights, and nothing further.

Freedom!

Do you smell that fresh air -- the sense of freedom?  Yes, Congress is out of town, which means that Americans are now free, free at last.  Soon a GOP-led House of Representatives will represent the true interests of the American people.  This will include writing laws that the American people understand, passing laws that liberate the private sector from the shackles that have been in place for decades, and cutting back on the size and the scope of the government industrial complex.  What is most important, however, is actually repealing many of the tyrannical initiatives that the Democrats passed in the last two years, with government-run health care (Obamacare) being at the top of the list.  The idea that, in a country in which thousands of television stations are available, 300,000 Iphone apps can be downloaded, millions of items are available for purchase online (without any shipping costs) to those living in the most rural locations, that the government would be the most suited party to decide for you how you should get health care is absurd. How can anyone make such an irrational argument?  Well, that explains why House Speaker Pelosi said that "we have to pass the law so that you find out what is in it." Of course!  If she told you what was in it, you would have been even more vocal in your opposition.  Not that it would matter to Pelosi.  Or her fellow Democrats.  They knew that we would strongly oppose the law, and she decided to pass it over our objections.  Hopefully the Democrats will be in the minority for 100 years.  After all, we have a lot of laws to repeal.

Democrats hope to profit from economic collapse.

America is suffering from high unemployment, but don't worry, Democrats are looking out for your interests.  While the people suffer, the Democrats are passing laws to allow flamboyant and openly gay men and women into the military and passing laws to undermine our national defense, just to make Russia happy.  Question:  How does this have anything to do with improving our economy?

That's right, it doesn't!  Democrats do not care about our economy.  They love the misery that they are creating because they believe that destitute individuals are more likely to vote Democrat because they will need government assistance in order to survive.  That shows that Democrats really have contempt for Americans and our way of life.  They are willing to destroy our economy just to get more votes!

Democrats hate representative government

While Americans are enjoying the end of the year celebrations of both Christmas and New Year's, the defeated 111th Congress will not take "no" for an answer.   When Republicans were defeated in the 2006 mid-term elections, they did not attempt to pass any controversial or sweeping legislation.  Rather, they left town and let the Democrats take over the show in January 2007.  Today's Democrats are a different lot.   They really do not believe in representative government.  To the extent that we have elections, they think of it as merely an inconvenience that must be tolerated as opposed to a cherished part of our government that protects the people from the iron fist of the state.   The reason we have elections is not just to go through the motion of having elections, but to provide the people with a meaningful opportunity to restrain the state.  We already had our election.  We told Congress--by defeating the large Democrat majority in the House of Representatives and replacing it with a large Republican majority--that we want less government, one that is focused on only the powers that the Constitution grants it, such as national defense.  The purpose of government is to protect the people from foreign and domestic threats, and to provide courts to adjudicate disputes using objective law.  That is certainly not the case today as the Democrat majority keeps on moving at full speed until they are forcefully evicted from power on January 5, 2011.

DREAM Act Fails

The United States Senate rejected the mis-named liberal wet "DREAM" act, which would provide amnesty to illegal aliens.   Americans are tired of illegal aliens receiving a disproportionate amount of attention in our legislative bodies.  When our economy is suffering from higher taxes, bureaucracies that are out of control, a federal judiciary that is re-writing law from the bench, and high unemployment, it is outrageous for Congress to spend even one minute of time focusing on the rights of those who entered the country illegally.

Democrats have contempt for the American public.

It seems more and more apparent how much contempt Democrats have for the American people.  The American people said that they want less government spending, lower taxes, and want laws that improve American society, not trample on our liberties.  So what do Democrats do?  They hold the American people hostage by saying that if we want to maintain our current tax rates, we also must accept much higher levels of government spending.  That doesn't sound like an ideal system at all for the public.

Congress does not have enough time to consider the full ramifications of the START treaty, especially with regard to how it weakens our national defense.  Democrats don't care.  They want to pass it anyway.  In fact, they are happy about the fact that it harms our national defense.  The answer is simple:  They want to harm our national defense and they are not interested in doing anything to improve upon it.  This reflects their well-established ideology, and it is a permanent part of who they are.

Same for "don't ask, don't tell."  There isn't enough time to consider the harm this will do to American society.  Touch luck.  Democrats don't give a damn.  They like the fact that it will harm American society, and they are more than happy to pass it do exactly that. Shame on this party.  Let's hope that they will never get a majority of the vote again.

Republicans should wait until January 3 to preserve (and lower) the Bush tax rates

Republicans should say no to Obama’s tax “compromise.”  Republicans have the stronger hand.  We won a decisive victory this November, and we will have a large conservative majority in the House of Representatives. 

The Democrats have asked for unreasonable compromises in the lame duck session, including extending unemployment benefits for an unprecedented 13 additional months (after extending them for a record 99 weeks!)  Enough is enough.  We do not want more spending.  Republicans did not win their election by promising to increase spending even further.  They won by promising to cut spending.  Don’t take the deal.  Walk away.  We are going to have a large majority this January 3rd.  Wait until then.  Then we’ll talk to Obama.

Socialist Diane Watson votes no on censoring Charles Rangel

Representative Diane Watson, a hard-left socialist from Los Angeles, voted against censuring Democrat Representative Charles Rangel.  The resolution, as written, follows: 

In the matter of Representative Charles B. Rangel of New York.

Resolved, That (1) Representative Charles B. Rangel of New York be censured; (2) Representative Charles B. Rangel forthwith present himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement of censure; (3) Representative Charles B. Rangel be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker; and (4) Representative Rangel pay restitution to the appropriate taxing authorities or the U.S. Treasury for any unpaid estimated taxes outlined in Exhibit 066 on income received from his property in the Dominican Republic and provide proof of payment to the Committee.

77 other corrupt Democrats also voted “no” on censoring Charles Rangel.  You can find out who voted no here.

Rules for Radical Conservatives

In "Rules for Radical Conservatives," David Kahane takes off the mask that the American left has shown the public for decades.  Instead of assuming that liberals are just another legitimate political philosophy, Mr. Kahane shows that it is a philosophy that is aimed at turning America from a constitutional republic to a tyrannical regime that would never reverse back.  Instead of accepting the premises of the left, we must reject their premises.  Accepting the liberal premises of the left results in adopting all of their policies as well.  Rather than debating policies on the liberals' turf, it is better to articulate our (superior) philosophy, which will result in the policies following the philosophy. 

The left did not get to where they are today through convincing people that their side is right.  Rather, they have done so through intimidation, coercion, emotional arguments, and through steadily gaining ground in the universities, media, schools, and our bureaucracies.  Even today, the liberals are a distinct and insular minority, representing about 20% of the country, but their dominance in the blue-states and cities--mostly on the coasts--have still allowed them to have far more influence than their numbers would imply.  My view is that they have gained power mostly because Republicans have not acted principally to reject the FDR philosophy and instead advance the Founders/Ronald Reagan/Ayn Rand philosophy into law.  Democrats also have campaigned as Republicans.  Even the hard-left radical Obama campaigned on Republican themes of lower federal spending and tax cuts.
