Scott, you really shine in these shows. Indeed you are a true principled conservative. Thanks for bringing them to us.

Well done, Scott. I like the fact that three of my favorite blogger pundits are able to discuss issues civilly. You all take the longer view and focus on Constitutional points.
Your objections to judicial activism, Hinderaker’s focus on where to place emphasis in the Republican party, and Green’s point about the value of Amendment X in determining legislation rightfully in the state all add up to smaller federal government and ultimately lower taxation and more liberties.

Shame that can’t be done here without people calling you names, like ‘donks’ and worse !

Best wishes for a happy birthday, Ms RW, Ink!
Newsman: Why not discuss some of the points raised by Scott and his fellow participants in the video clip rather than throwing a barb at members of the Scrappleface community?

Scott,
You are such an elegant speaker as well as consummate writer.
There’s sure to be a FOX hunt soon in your neighborhood,if you get my drift.
My favorite sign at one of the tea parties was:

In spite of the negative portrayal of the tea parties and the false narrative that the media are spinning to convey, this video of a speech and the crowd in Dallas captures the spirit all across America this past April 15, 2009.
For the first time in three months, Obama is convening his Cabinet, this time for the express purpose of cutting 100 million from the budget. The figure is a ludicrous drop in the bucket as has been explained by various pundits and economists. Only Obama’s true believers will be willing to swallow that Lefty joy juice. Thinking Americans reject giving up their liberties to hand their pursuit of happiness to the wasteful “beneficence” of the federal government.

“Captures the spirit all across America this past April 15, 2009.”
Oh, horseradish!
Mainly, President Obama is just tying to fix what eight years of evil government has so badly damaged.
Those who were with Obama remain, together with many who weren’t.
Dream on.

Excerpted from the previously linked article -
Undermining U.S. sovereignty: Mr. Obama is embracing sovereignty-sapping treaties, theories of “universal jurisprudence” and individuals like State Department Legal Advisor-designate Harold Koh who espouse them. The desired result evidently is a world governed by international norms and bureaucrats, rather than one dominated – or even forcefully led – by bad old America.

Dr. Sanity (Pat Santy) today (April 20) links to and expands on the foolishness of embracing ethanol as a panacea for a largely trumped-up problem as described in a WSJ commentary.
A credible scientist in her own right, Santy worked for NASA for years and recognizes the unintended consequences of do-gooders who don’t fully understand science.

More food for thought from “The Corner”:
“Today, President Obama called for $100 million in budget cuts. Out of a $4 trillion in spending this year, this is the rounding error of a rounding error:
· It is 1/40,000 of the federal budget;
· It is 1/7,830 the size of the recent “stimulus” bill;
· It would close 1/1,845 of this year’s budget deficit;
· It is the amount the federal government spends every 13 minutes; and
· For a family earning $40,000 annually, it is the equivalent of cutting $1 from their family budget.
“So why bother? Because it may enhance the president’s “budget-cutter” image. Seriously. President Obama has reportedly been working closely with noted behavioral economists, and their studies have shown that most people are “insensitive to scope,” meaning they are not very good at putting large numbers in their proper context. People will react about the same to a policy proposal whether the cost/benefit is $10 million, $10 billion, or $10 trillion. Consequently, the $100 million cut may seem huge to many voters. (Note to conservative lawmakers: This is why the tiny 2005 reconciliation spending cuts were just as difficult to enact as the substantially larger 1990s reconciliation spending cuts. So if you are going to propose spending cuts, you may as well go big).
“Conservatives should welcome converts, and ask President Obama to not stop at a measly $100 million. Why not come together to cut:
· At least $55 billion in annual program overpayments;
· $60 billion for corporate welfare;
· $25 billion in unused federal property
· $123 billion for programs for which government auditors can find no evidence of success;
· $140 billion in potential budget savings identified in the CBO’s “Budget Options” books; and
· Massive program duplication, such as the 342 economic development programs?”

We are talking real money here, folks, real deficits and real debts. Ackbar may be fooling the easily deluded (or those who neverthink), but fiscal conservatives recognize a con man regardless of his ability to read well off a teleprompter.

mkk: Shortly after Michael Moore’s propaganda Farenheit 911 film came out, I saw a response video that showed how many suspected terrorist cells of Hezbollah particularly are in the sights of the federal government. The training camps that your link points out should also be more of an issue for Napolitano than are the scattered gatherings of peaceful citizen-taxpayers exercising their right to express their First Amendment guarantees. Instead, we learn of another disturbing report about what David Axelrod considers “unhealthy” in a free nation: http://homelandsecurityus.com/?p=2659
How peculiar is it that a federal government turns on its own people who seek a voice and redress of concern when moveon.org, ACORN, LaRaza, labor unions, anarchists, Code Pink, and George Soros-funded protestors can take to the streets with well-funded and organized in-your-face nonsense and/or vandalism. The latter groups openly distribute Marxist and anti-Semitic “literature,” parade around in disgusting nudity or farfetched costumes, wave signs of brazen lies, and cover their faces with black hoods or kaffiyehs.
Our media are tools of propaganda for selective presentation the real facts on the ground.

I am beginning to think that everything we warned folks about is coming at us about ten times stronger than we ever imagined. All of the Mess-sigh-ugh’s “irrelevant associations from the past, his eagerness to bow to Mecca, and a whole host of duped accomplices and “anti-patriots” are circling their wagons with one common goal.
I doubt that even the founding fathers could prevail in this age of ignorance and deception. I believe Obama has the charisma to take America to its end - with the help of an amorous media. Perhaps we should just eat, drink, and make merry - for tomorrow we die.

Here is a meaningful mash-up of the Genius-in-Chief’s budget cutting. Watch it all the way to the end.
Is Robert Gibbs for real? Even AP’s Jennifer Loven (who usually speaks for the Dem/MSM lovefest) is questioning the dolt’s mathematical reasoning.

You all flatter me with your happy-happys. Though, according to one who trolls, I am a craggy old woman in a powerchair, I am glad to say though the years have been many I’m not likely to start acting like the craggy old woman in the powerchair.
Mater of fact, I have decided to get younger and younger everyday unless Obama taxes us on frolicking and gaiety.

No, your numbness, there are but a precious few of us here, and your name is not on that list.
There are several crayon marks at the bottom, but trying to write in your name is not acceptable.
