Some more good stuff from Wolfshield:
=================
"Recall that our Founders affirmed in the Declaration of Independence 'that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.' In other words, our Creator bestowed the rights enumerated in our Declaration and, by extension, as codified in its subordinate guidance, our Constitution. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are natural rights; they are not gifts from government." --Mark Alexander
-------------
"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever." --Thomas Jefferson
------------
"The Obama administration is preparing to send General Motors into bankruptcy as early as the end of next week under a plan that would give the automaker tens of billions of dollars more in public financing as the company seeks to shrink." --/The Washington Post/
------------------
_Sonia Sotomayor as nominee for the Supreme Court:_
"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." --Judge Sonia Sotomayor in 2001
"Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging." --Sonia Sotomayor in 2001
"[A] court of appeals is where policy is made." --Sonia Sotomayor in 2005
-------------------
"Earlier this year, President Obama's Supreme Court nominee joined an opinion with the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that Second Amendment rights do not apply to the states. A 2004 opinion she joined also cited as precedent that "the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right." --Fox News, May 28, 2009
---------------
"The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch. ... It has long been my opinion ... that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal judiciary; working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped." --Thomas Jefferson

I'm Back . . .ish
I know it has been far too long since I have posted. Life as well as a sea of political sludge has gotten in the way. I have been trying to follow the news and here are my thoughts in no particular order.
Why in the world does everyone on the news seem to think the Republican party needs "re-branding?" It makes it sound as if the ideologies of the Republicans has failed flatly and can no more rise. Is it because they lost badly in the last election? If so, where was the democratic "re-branding" 8 years ago? Also, I don't see any Republicans complaining that the party is "broke." Many do see supposed "Republican" politicians betraying the party ideals but that is a separate issue. I see this whole thing as an attempt by liberals to try and trick the uninformed into believing that political conservatism is dead. The Republican party may have issues but political conservatism is alive and well and we the people need to see through the "progressive" agenda and hold fast to the founding principals of this nation.

I can't understand how Obama continues to spend money. I can't even comprehend the dire state of our worsening financial situation. We are dead in the water.

I was amazed and delighted at the tea parties that were held recently. It show that we the people still get out there and make our voices known. It does sadden me that it takes so much for us to be activists. We need to live what we believe daily. Also, i am appalled at the way the parties were covered. Some more liberal media outlets made it sound as if there we a few people milling around in some podunk towns. They labeled them as something like "quasi-republican, right-wing nut jobs" who couldn't agree on what they were protesting. In reality, there were multiple tea parties in every state in the union which were made up of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians and more. All were out protesting the state of the union which did include things such as Obama spending too much money, congress not doing there job, tax absurdities and more. The main message was that the federal government is out of control and we the people are not being heard. We seem to have lost the "by the people" part of the government and we want it back.
