"Oh, and did I say they were idiots too?"

No need to. You said they were Socialists, one of the ingredients of which is idiocy.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Roberts and Donaldson are both Communists. Yet somehow they manage not to donate their millions to the folks “who need it most.”

Let’s give them a 90% tax bracket. That sounds like what’s needed. 90% just for the media elites.

something to think about.......

This is chilling ...
In
1952
President Truman
established one day a year as a
“National Day of Prayer.”

In
1988
President Reagan
designated the
First Thursday in May of each year as
the National Day of Prayer.

In June
2007
(then)
Presidential
Candidate Barack Obama
declared that the USA Was no longer a
Christian nation.

This year
President Obama,
canceled the
21st annual National Day
of Prayer ceremony
at the White
House under the rouse
Of “not wanting to offend anyone”

On September 25, 2009
from 4 am until 7 pm,
a National Day of Prayer
for the Muslim religion was Held on Capitol Hill,
Beside the White House.
There were over 50,000 Muslims that
Day in DC.

I guess it Doesn’t matter
if “Christians”
Are offended by this event -
We obviously
Don’t count as
“anyone” Anymore.

The direction
This country is headed
Should strike fear in the heart of every Christian.
Especially knowing that the
Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be
Converted they should be Annihilated

This is not a Rumor –
Go to the website
To confirm this info :
( http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/ )

Pay particular attention to the very bottom of the page :
“OUR TIME HAS COME”
I hope that this Information will stir your spirit.

We must pray for Our nation, our communities,
Our families, and especially our children.
They are the ones that are going to suffer the most

If we don’t PRAY!
May God have Mercy...
IN GOD WE TRUST.

Please pass this on,
Maybe someone, somehow can figure out a way to put America
back on the map as it was when we were growing up,
a safe place to live and by
The Ten Commandments and Pledge of Allegiance.

Should the majority of the citizens, who were strongly opposed to the extension of slavery, “accepted defeat”, after Dred Scott v. Sanford? Should they have accepted the violent imposition of a pro-slavery government in Kansas?

Interestingly enough, the last actual use of such a law as Virginia’s were the Personal Liberty Laws passed by Northern States that not only nullified the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, but made compliance with it a crime punishable by double the penalties of the Fugitive Slave Law.So if Cokie wants to complain about nullification she needs to complain about abolitionists who angered the south by interfering with the enforcement of federal law.

When lefties say “threat to the Constitution” what they mean is “threat to advance of Marxism”.

You have to remember that Cokie Boggs Roberts is the sewer-spawn of corrupt democrat dirtbags mother and father alike. No surprise she would crap all over the rule of Law.

Unconstitutional laws would include any law passed by the federal legislature that was not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.

The term "unconstitutional law" is a contradiction. An unconstitutional act is never lawful.

No, she is not. She is the cousin of a good friend of mine and I’ve meet her and her husband. I don’t like her politics, but she is more misguided than evil.

“I don’t like her politics, but she is more misguided than evil.”

I simply cannot accept this excuse anymore. Pleading ignorance after you have been in Washington for how many years? 30 or 40? To paraphrase Daniel Hanan (UK conservative): We know what’s going on, and we know that you know that what’s going on, and you know that we know that too. So this is all a charade. Cokie knows what the Constitution actually means, she understands basic economic concepts such as the Laffer curve.

The msm is simply trying to fool the fools. They will flatter the fools and 0bamabots while they dismiss the conservatives. Intelligent conservatives are characterized as mean spirited and popular conservatives are just plain dumb. If they can’t fool you, they will try to seduce you. Getting a conservative to say that a Leftist is a “nice” person is the first step.

I think that a conservative can still be friends with a left leaning person. But we must draw the line when it comes to befriending committed Leftists with real power.

Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs was born on December 27, 1943 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

She received the sobriquet “Cokie” from her brother Tommy, who could not pronounce “Corinne”.

Cokie Roberts is the fourth child and youngest daughter of former ambassador and long-time Democratic Congresswoman from Louisiana Lindy Boggs and of the late Hale Boggs, also a Democratic Congressman from Louisiana who was Majority Leader of the House of Representatives.

Her sister, the late Barbara Boggs Sigmund, was mayor of Princeton, New Jersey and a candidate for U.S. Senate from New Jersey.

Her brother Tommy Boggs is a prominent Washington, D.C. attorney and lobbyist.

____________________________________________________________

She was also with NPR for 10 years and her husband is teaching at GW Univ.

In short, she has been feeding at the liberal Beltway trough for pretty much her entire career. She appears so steeped in liberal stew that it would be impossible to rid the smell of it from within a 50 yard radius of her carbon footprint.

What is the problem? Does Cokie really want to eliminate the federal court’s ability to strike down unconstitutional laws?

Rhetorical question. Never underestimate the stupidity of the media.

Excuse me. Cokie is my friend's cousin, not my friend. And even if that were so, who are you to tell me who I can associate with? Let the leftists have political purity tests. I won't stand for it. In other words, butt out of my personal life. Who are you? A politician?

Some people seem to fancy that an individual must have some sort of special insight whose only job is to sit before a camera, smile, and read news articles written by others.

This is much the same case as the intelligence often attributed to actors who simply mouth the clever words written for them by screenwriters.

In both cases, it is far more likely that those mugging for the cameras are the same variety of idiots as exist in the general population; they merely take on the aura of the characters they portray on screen, in the same fashion as a nail in closs proximity to a magnet takes on a charge.

Their opinions have no special merit whatsoever.
