Conservative on Target for 2/14/12

Obama's Continuing Assault on the Constitution: In a government where there are no practical limits on executive overreach, there are likewise no limits on the government's ability to impose its will on the people. With the president's trampling of religious liberties, the country is getting its first taste of the consequences of Obama's unmitigated power grab. And if this power remains unchecked, there are certainly more consequences to come.

Call Now: Stop the Spending!: Last week, we told you about a massive $262 billion transportation bill moving through the House. The bill spends far too much, relies on questionable offsets, creates a new slush fund for alternative transportation and maintains unacceptable levels of federal control. >> Call now: Tell Congress that this spending bill is not acceptable and must be stopped.!

Pentagon May Oust Troops Involuntarily to Meet Reductions in Budget Plan [This stinks! Our warriors are coming home to record unemployment numbers with record PTSD levels and we are going to fire them too… – JS]     The Defense Department may have to force soldiers, Marines or other members of the military out of the services for the first time since the aftermath of the Cold War to achieve the spending reductions in its budget proposal…    “I was surprised that they were going to complete the reductions to the Army and the Marine Corps in just five years,” Sharp said in an interview before the budget was released. “What they told us is that they will try to use those types of positive incentives to the greatest extent possible, but that involuntary separations would probably still be necessary.

063WOW!! Military Chaplains to be Charged with Sedition and Treason for Preaching Against Sin : The Army immediately issued orders to all chaplains, especially Catholic chaplains that they are not allowed to read the letter in its entirety and that certain portions of it are to be blacked out and not read aloud. Former Navy chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt said, “The secretary of the Army said you have to line out some of the language, or else we’re going to charge the chaplains with sedition and treason for opposing the Obama administration. Can you believe this? They are actually threatening chaplains with court-martial if they dare to preach against sin in their own church.”

WOW!! Public policy poll shows Rick Santorum leads Romney nationally by 15 points: But that's just one poll, so says an angry Ron Paul supporter! And they would be correct, however, the RCP average of several polls has Santorum in the lead by 1.6% nationally. Quite a stunning comeback from a candidate who was under 5% for 47 weeks. Glenn Beck has more on the continuing Santorum surge on radio today. WATCH

Unemployment fairy tales: If you think the unemployment rate is 8.3%, I’ve got a brand new 1958 Edsel with zero miles for you.The BLS does account for 12,800,000 unemployed workers and they base their calculation of the unemployment rate on that number. Note that they are purposefully missing almost one-third of workers who are not employed but would certainly like to have a job.  By adding those workers back into the unemployed figure, the actual number of unemployed is 17,800,000. If we divide the real number of unemployed workers by the BLS reported workforce, the actual unemployment rate is NOT 8.2%, it is 11.5%.

The Demise of the Tea Party is Greatly Exaggerated: Certain people keep opining that the Tea Party is all but dead, but those who wish for the demise of the Tea Party are missing the emerging new political infrastructure where Tea Party groups have set aside rallies for political action. Consider Wisconsin to determine where the Tea Party is going in 2012 and beyond.

The Liberal Uses of Race: Racism is about many things, but it isn’t about race. To understand the uses of race in American liberalism requires understanding its place in the political culture. When American liberals speak of race, they aren’t speaking in the genetic sense; what they are doing is clumsily piggybacking class onto race and adding one dubious construct to another. The placement of racial politics at the center of liberal advocacy coincided with a growing national prosperity that seemed to be on the way to making class warfare of the old kind irrelevant. Previous liberal civil rights activity had been a subset of class, but class now became a subset of race. And both were a means of liberal self-definition as the people concerned with the plight of the downtrodden.

Obama Appoints LOBBYIST to Represent Illegal Aliens Against States and Citizens: In an effort to quell accusations by the open borders lobby that the Administration has not gone far enough with its administrative amnesty program, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced last week the creation of a new “public advocate” position for illegal aliens. Senior ICE Advisor Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, who was appointed as the new advocate, will serve as a point of contact for aliens in removal proceedings, community and advocacy groups, and others who have concerns, questions, recommendations or other issues they would like to raise about the Administration’s executive amnesty efforts. (ICE Press Release, Feb. 7, 2012)

The Original Intent of the Second Amendment : Before we look over what the implications of the Second Amendment are, let's look at some quotations from the founding fathers themselves about gun control and the constitution's protection of the right to keep and bear arms.

Agenda 21 For Dummies: Agenda 21 explained very well. Including implications it will have on humanity. Opinions within the video come in some cases from those that were in on the negotiations. Truly an interesting watch.

"... judicial verbicide is calculated to convert the Constitution into a
worthless scrap of paper and to replace our government of laws with a judicial
oligarchy." -- Senator Sam Ervin
