Obama Does The Impossible |
He makes European
men seem manly.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Barack
Obama. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu rejected President
Pantywaist’s settlement freeze proposal. Bibi told Bam Bam that his
government was not amenable to putting limitations on building Jewish
settlements in the capital of Israel. Obama responded by offering to
immediately freeze all US settlements in Washington, DC as a goodwill
gesture toward Hamas.
Still stinging from Netanyahu’s rebuff,
Obama made the harebrained decision to challenge Dick Cheney to a debate
on, of all things, foreign policy. Someone on Team O was astute enough
to realize that TOTUS would not be well served by being the second act
to Cheney, whose speech at AEI had been planned for weeks. Instead, the
chaos president scrambled to seize some time immediately preceding the
former Vice President’s speech. In an excruciatingly transparent attempt
to run out the clock, Obama began late and dragged his speech out for
approximately sixteen hours.
Had no one on the O Team reviewed
the Cheney/Edwards match up before the 2004 election in which the
picayune Edwards was lambasted effortlessly by Mr. Cheney? Cheney always
makes pummeling liberals look easy.
Obama, petulant at being
challenged, took twenty eight shots at the former administration and
blathered about some middle way in dealing with terrorists. Compromise
and middle ground are efficacious strategies at PTA meetings; less so
with rogue dictators plotting to wipe us off the map.
Wimpy
liberals are violently opposed to the use of Enhanced Interrogation
Techniques unless practiced on members of the Bush administration. The
thought of putting a caterpillar in a cell with a barbarian who would
gladly saw our heads off shocks the liberal conscience. The left deems
water boarding to be a vile form of torture, despite the fact that
millions of us water board ourselves every morning with a Neti pot and
some SinuCleanse®.
Now that his first official Disgrace to
America tour is over, confidence in our Commander in Chief is waning
across the pond. When the Europeans start calling you "President
Pantywaist," don’t expect to be taken too seriously by merciless crazy
men with nukes.

Obama Nominee's Greatest Hits |
Evidently, the characteristics that matter most for a potential
nominee to the Supreme Court have little to do with judicial ability or
temperament, or even so ephemeral a consideration as a knowledge of the
law. Instead, the tag line for this appointment says it all.
The president wants to choose "a daughter of Puerto Rican parents raised
in Bronx public housing projects to become the nation’s first Hispanic
justice."
Obviously, none of these factors disqualifies anyone
for the Supreme Court. But
affirmative action standards are a bad way to pick one of the nine
most influential jurists in the U.S., whose vast powers can shape
virtually every aspect of our current lives.
In a recent case, Ricci v. DeStefano, Sotomayor
sided with the City of New Haven that used racially discriminatory
practices to deny promotions to firefighters. She
dismissed the case in a one-paragraph statement that, in the opinion
of one dissenting judge, ignored the evidence and did not even address
the constitutional issues raised by the case. The percuriam
opinion Sotomayor joined went so far out of its way to bury the
firefighters' important claims of unfair treatment that her colleague,
Judge Jose Cabranes, a Clinton appointee,
chastised her. This case is currently before SCOTUS.
Sotomayor's thinking is representative of the Democratic Party’s
powerful identity-politics wing. She readily
admits that she applies her feelings and personal politics when
deciding cases. In a 2002 speech at Berkeley, she stated that she
believes it is appropriate for a judge to consider their "experiences as
women and people of color," which she believes should "affect our
decisions." She went on to make this blatantly racist comment in
that same speech -- "I would hope that a wise
Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than
not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that
life." She reiterated her commitment to that lawless
judicial philosophy at Duke Law School in 2005 when she stated that the
"Court of Appeals is where policy is made."
Sotomayor
ruled in January 2009 that states do not have to obey the Second
Amendment’s commandment that the right to keep and bear arms shall not
be infringed. I guess if the
states can ignore the 2nd Amendment, they can ignore they other nine as
well?
Judge Sotomayor
ruled that a prospective lawyer must be given
special consideration in
taking the New York state bar exam because her dyslexia qualified as a
disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, despite the fact
that she had failed the exam five times.
In another recent
decision, U.S.A. v. Marcus, Sotomayor
sent the case of a
convicted violent sex trafficker back to a lower court because a lower
court judge had not specifically told the jury that some, though not
all, of the sex trafficking had taken place before it was specifically
outlawed.
As a district court judge, Sotomayor also
allowed a
racial discrimination claim to continue when the plaintiff, a black
nurse, sued Bellevue Hospital Corp. because other nurses spoke mainly in
Filipino, their native tongue, which she claimed made her feel harassed
and isolated.
Sotomayor wants to give jailbirds the right to
vote. It's her
opinion that the federal Voting Rights Act can be used to force
states to allow voting by currently imprisoned felons.
In 1994, Judge Sotomayor
ruled in favor of two
prisoners who claimed to practice Santeria, a Caribbean religion that
involves animal sacrifice and voodoo, saying that "distinctions between
'traditional' and 'non-traditional' religions" are "intolerable."
Sotomayor
ruled in a 2007 case that power companies must protect "fish and
other aquatic organisms" from being sucked into cooling vents regardless
of the costs, saying the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was not
allowed to use a cost-benefit analysis in measuring power companies’
compliance with the federal Clean Water Act. The Supreme Court
disagreed.
Substantial questions also
persist regarding Judge Sotomayor’s temperament and disposition to
be a Supreme Court justice. Lawyers who have appeared before her have
described her as a "bully" who "does not have a very good temperament,"
and who "abuses lawyers" with "inappropriate outbursts."
Some former clerks and prosecutors expressed concerns about her
command of technical legal details: In 2001, for example, a conservative
colleague, Ralph Winter, included an unusual footnote in a case
suggesting that an earlier opinion by Sotomayor might have
misstated the law in a way that misled litigants.
Sotomayor also
referred to the cardinal duty of judges to be impartial as a mere
"aspiration because it denies the fact that we are by our experiences
making different choices than others." And she suggested that
"inherent physiological or cultural differences" may help explain why
"our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our
judging."
The poor quality of Sotomayor's decisions is
reflected in her terrible record of her 60% reversals by the
Supreme Court.
But she's got
empathy -- defined as the intellectual identification with or vicarious
experiencing of the feelings of another -- cue Barry Manilow's
"Feelings."
According to the American Bar Association,
Sotomayer is a member of the racists
group, La Raza.
La Raza is Spanish for "the race."
La Raza's motto is, "Por La
Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada," which translates to, "For The
Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing."
The La Raza
movement teaches that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New
Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "Aztlan"
-- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived
in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of
MEChA.
These are all areas that the United States of America should surrender
to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a
majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United
States will simply be extinguished.
This plan is what is
referred to as the "Reconquista" or the re-conquest, of the western
United States.
But it won't end with territorial occupation and
secession. The final plan for the La Raza movement includes the
ethnic cleansing of Americans of European, African, and Asian descent
from "Aztlan." |
