This is a brilliant post by Professor of Life that I am passing along. I hope that everyone enjoys reading this.
H/T goes to Professor of Life. Please go check out his wonderful blog.
I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.)
II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore.
III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama.
IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy.
V. Honor thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money.
VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby.
VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed.
VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives.
IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian.
X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet.
These can be sourced. Ask The awesome professor if you need to see it.

Russian News Video: Reporting on the Hoax of Climate Change
As the left continues to lie to American citizens about climate change and rip citizens money off all for a hoax, we conservatives will continue to spread the truth about climate change.

Two Different Interviews With Bishop Tobin
Here are two interviews with Bishop Tobin. Please take notice how one is disrespectful and the other is respectful. Here is a Catholic Bishop willing to stand up for his faith. If you don't stand up for the principles of your faith and follow those principles than there I don't see any point in being a part of the community of that faith. And, it is especially scandalous for the Catholic Church to allow a public politician like Rep. Kennedy to promote abortion when it goes against the moral teachings of the Church.

Obamacare is Unconstitutional and Immoral
In David Rifkin, Jr. and Lee A. Casey's article, they explain exactly how Obamacare is unconstitutional. The "individual mandate" makes Obamcare unconstitutional since Congress does not have the authority to require every American to buy health insurance. "The Constitution assigns only limited, enumerated powers to Congress and none, including the power to regulate interstate commerce or to impose taxes, would support a federal mandate requiring anyone who is otherwise without health insurance to buy it."
"The otherwise uninsured would be required to buy coverage, not because they were even tangentially engaged in the "production, distribution or consumption of commodities," but for no other reason than that people without health insurance exist. The federal government does not have the power to regulate Americans simply because they are there. Significantly, in two key cases, United States v. Lopez (1995) and United States v. Morrison (2000), the Supreme Court specifically rejected the proposition that the commerce clause allowed Congress to regulate noneconomic activities merely because, through a chain of causal effects, they might have an economic impact. These decisions reflect judicial recognition that the commerce clause is not infinitely elastic and that, by enumerating its powers, the framers denied Congress the type of general police power that is freely exercised by the states."
Ed Morrissey states in his article that an individual mandate would be unprecedented. He states, "A mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health insurance would be an unprecedented form of federal action. The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States."
Ed Morrissey quoted both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in explaining the "general welfare" clause and its close connection to enumerated powers and their limitations:
Money cannot be applied to the General Welfare, otherwise than by an application of it to some particular measure conducive to the General Welfare. Whenever, therefore, money has been raised by the General Authority, and is to be applied to a particular measure, a question arises whether the particular measure be within the enumerated authorities vested in Congress. If it be, the money requisite for it may be applied to it; if it be not, no such application can be made. (James Madison, via Quoty)
[O]ur tenet ever was, and, indeed, it is almost the only landmark which now divides the federalists from the republicans, that Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but were to those specifically enumerated; and that, as it was never meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action; consequently, that the specification of powers is a limitation of the purposes for which they may raise money. (Thomas Jefferson, via Quoty)
If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions. (James Madison, Letter to Edmund Pendleton, January 21, 1792 Madison 1865, I, page 546)
Please go over and take a look at RightKlik's post in which he does an excellent job of presenting the reasons why Obamacare is unconstitutional, unpopular, and illegitimate.
The Manhattan Declaration is:
Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.
We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:
the sanctity of human life
the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
the rights of conscience and religious liberty.
Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Please sign the petition here for this very worthy cause.
Eutychus posted the information on The Mahattan Declaration right from the start, so I am encouraging everyone to please check out his blog.
If the government isn't for us, then its against us. In my opinion, the government has proven itself to be illegitimate since the government if ever, but definitely now, no longer represents the will of the people. I believe that this government has become a domestic threat to our very being, our welfare, and our lives. The Obama administration is no longer (probably not ever) looking out for the best interests of its citizens. The "individual mandate" in Obamacare is unconstitutional. It may be time for us as citizens to follow in Martin Luther King Jr.'s footsteps and exercise civil disobedience to a government which would force its citizens to abandon their consciences. We must continue the good fight to ensure that the Obama administration does not take away both our freedom and liberty.

10 Ways Government Hurts the Poor
A big H/T goes out to Chicago Ray for this article.
10 Ways Government Hurts the Poor
by Jerry Agar
"If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life." Henry David Thoreau
"I am from the government, I am here to help you." Scary Bureaucrat
In no particular order, and in my opinion, here are 10 ways the government does the opposite of its announced intentions.
1. Minimum Wage If you charge more for something, you sell less of it. Labor is no different than any other commodity for sale. As economist Walter Williams says, "If higher minimum wages could cure poverty, we could easily end worldwide poverty simply by telling poor nations to legislate higher minimum wages." A higher minimum wage means fewer jobs and makes it more difficult for people to start a small business. If you tell me you'll pay me X dollars an hour to do a job, and I say, "That's fine," why shouldn't I be allowed to do so? Why not just declare that everyone has to earn at least $100,000 a year? The answer is no different at $100,000 than it is at $15,000. It is just a matter of scale.
2. Taxes Business taxes are built into a product at a number of levels along the production and distribution chain, and then sales tax is added at the end. An ever-increasing government can appear to fund its growth by “taxing the rich” and to make business “pay their fair share,” but low income consumers pay a higher percentage of their total income in taxes. All products and services include taxes even when it is not obvious. For instance, rent contains property tax. Gasoline is highly taxed, but the actual tax rate is not listed at the pump.
3. Over-Regulating Over-regulating of business costs money for those enterprises that survive. Less money - less employment. Over-regulation leaves so many hoops to jump through that it distracts from the aim of the business or company, and thusly hurts expansion. Plus, it makes it all the more daunting to start a business Wasting money on losing propositions like sports stadiums - which are always sold to the public as economic development - takes money out of the economy, which ultimately costs jobs.
4. Health Insurance The law denying the right of people to buy health insurance across state lines results in less competition which means higher prices. Mandated coverage forces us to buy insurance we don't need. As economist Thomas Sowell points out, "Mandated coverages include alcoholism, acupuncture, breast reduction and treatment for baldness, among other things. You may just want insurance to cover you in case you get hit with some big-time medical problem, but many state laws will not allow an insurance company to sell you "major medical" coverage without all the add-ons that politicians and special interests have come up with." Does a single mother struggling to make ends meet, yet wanting to protect the well being of her children, really need to pay for baldness coverage (pun intended) in her health plan?
5. Unions Governments often work in favor of unions to the detriment of taxpayers in general and the poor in particular. Two examples are prevailing wage laws and the fight to keep Wal-Mart out of Chicago. Unions today primarily survive in the public sector, driving up the cost of government, which lowers the efficiency of the economy and its ability to create jobs.
6. Education Monopoly - the cap on charter schools and the unwillingness of so many government entities to give power to parents through a voucher system keeps the monopoly going. In Chicago the graduation rate is 50%, but the education monopoly will not even consider trying capitalism, now that socialism has failed. Monopolies never favor the customer – in this case the children of people too poor to escape bad schools.

My Rant on Health Care & Morality
This health care bill passing cloture last night is an utter disgrace to the American people. These Democratic politicians are giving every American citizen the middle finger by not giving a flying F***K what the majority of American people would want with regards to health care reform. This health care bill, if it passes the senate, will be the destruction of Amercans freedom as we know it today. This bill is tyranny being forced upon American citizens. This bill will raise costs, force health care to be rationed, eliminate competition, and force insurance companies out of business. This bill will utterly destroy our health care system. This bill will destroy our economy. This bill has nothing to do with health care at all. This bill has everything to do with stripping the American people of freedom and liberty. This bill is all about the Democrats gaining power and control over the American people.
All of these communists are following their Dear Leader of tyranny. These communist pigs must be booted from office in 2010. They obviously don't give a rat's ass about the American people. They are a bunch of selfish bastages.
Anyone that supports this bill needs to sent to either Venezuela, or Cuba to fully experience the "benefits" of communism with equal dismal health care to experience being equally financially poor. These people think that profits are evil. If they believe that profits are evil then they should give all of their profits up. Everyone that earns money is in a real sense earning a profit. If anyone wants a raise then they want to reap the benefits of making a profit. If you really do see profits as evil, than forfeit all your rights to profit. The people that think profits are evil will not apply that same principle to themselves. So, these people are a bunch of damn hypocrites.
Because of this liberal and/or communist infiltration into our society, we as a society have fallen away from God given principles and values. We need to return to these Godly principles and values so that our country will be saved from this attack on morality. These communists have infiltrated into our public schools and into our government and have made it crystal cle that they want no mention of God, period. Sure, anyone is allowed to say Allah and are not offended even though violent Jihadist extremists have killed over 3000 innocent Americans. People at the highest levels want to cover up for the Ft. Hood tragedy which was an act of terrorism. They distort Christanity and portray it as an evil when it is those very people that are evil. They just don't want to face reality and the truth. They spread hateful lies about Christianity. These secularists in our society must be stopped. Our Christiann principles must be spread far and wide. Let people hear the word of God all over this country. We must not be intimidated by the people who want to restrict our right to freedom of religion. These secularists want to distort our constitution and portray the words as freedom from religion instead of the actual words in the constitution, freedom of religion. This is false. We must spread the values that our in constitution far and wide. Let them see our Godly actions. This is the time to take a stand for morality and against the secularists in our society today. Let us promote individualism, freedom, liberty, and Godly values all across this land. God Bless America!!

Amazing Sarah Palin Has Interviews With Sean Hannity & Bill O'Reilly
Sarah Palin sold 300,000 copies of Going Rogue yesterday.
A H/T goes out to Gateway Pundit for this next article:
And, FOX News released these numbers today on Sarah Palin’s aprroval rating.
It’s climbing:
Despite being characterized by many as a divisive force in her party and the nation, Americans are much more likely to give Palin a positive rating (47 percent favorable) than another prominent female leader — Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (28 percent favorable). Moreover, about six in 10 Americans (61 percent) think Palin has been treated unfairly by the press, according to the latest Fox News poll.
A big H/T goes out to Soloman at his blog, The Wisdom Of Soloman, where he posted an excellent article and the interview that Rush Limbaugh had with Sarah Palin. Its great to listen to.
Here is an article called Sarah Amazing by James Lewis of the American Thinker:
I felt real pain when Governor Sarah Palin was trashed over and over again by hateful screaming libs last year -- just to demonstrate their vaunted compassion and tolerance, docha know? So they roundly assaulted her Down Syndrome child, her pregnant daughter, exploited her daughter's sleazeball boyfriend, ginned up false accusations in Alaska, and somebody burned down her church in Wasilla. Raging feminists around the country were ready to tear Sarah's hair out by the roots. A real media lynch mob.
It just proves beyond a shadow of doubt how the Left keeps boiling over with hatred and bigotry against normal, decent people. So-called "progressives" are just today's Stalinists. Not really nice people, you might say. More like fascist haters.
But I need not have worried. Sarah Barracuda has ‘em by the short hairs. Those howls of rage you keep hearing are being hurled just because Sarah is smiling and beautiful, and she's not yielding an inch to the Commissars of Political Correctness. She drives ‘em over the edge by being herself.

Invasion Of The Brain Snatchers
One explanation for the disease known as liberalism is that . . .
Aliens snatched the likes of Nancy Pelosevich, Rachel Madcow, Dingy Harry and the rest of their ilk, and brought them to the planet Imbecilia. The aliens sucked out all of their brains and injected each of their empty skulls with soil from Imbecilia called the mud of stupidity. Now, the dark sith lord of Imbecilia (Obama) has sent Pelosevich's pinchers and the rest of his minions to the United States to suck out all of the brains of its citizens, replace their brains with the mud of stupidity, and force zombiecare on all of the citizens. 
Now, we intelligent, freedom-loving, Bible-reading, gun-toting Americans are fighting alongside Saracuda to stop and destroy the evil and stupidity known as liberalism.
