There are Looters, Parasites and Suckers.
My government's opinion of me? Clearly: I suck.
In a just government, Mr. Castillo would be on trial now and soon find himself in prison for life, stripped of all his ill-gotten gains.
He would have been arrested during his testimony.
Actually, in a just government, this would have turned up long before now.
Oh, and the guy who awarded the contract would have the same fate.
But we can just go on with our corrupt fantasy-land police state run by bankers pulling strings behind the scenes.
Say what you like about George III, but the Tea Act was about tea. The so-called comprehensive immigration reform is so comprehensive it includes special deals for Nevada casinos and the recategorization of the Alaskan fish-processing industry as a cultural exchange program, because the more leaping salmon we have the harder it is for Mexicans to get across the Bering Strait. While were bringing millions of Undocumented-Americans out of the shadows, why dont we try bringing Washingtons decadent and diseased law-making out of the shadows?
INDEED!
In his dissent, Justice Scalia wrote that to defend traditional marriage is not to condemn, demean, or humiliate those who would prefer other arrangements, any more than to defend the Constitution of the United States is to condemn, demean, or humiliate other constitutions. Indeed. With this judgment, Americas constitutional court demeans and humiliates only its own.
As usual Scalia provides a voice of reason.
As I say, just another day in the life of the republic: a corrupt bureaucracy dispensing federal gravy to favored clients; a pseudo-legislature passing bills unread by the peoples representatives and uncomprehended by the men who claim to have written them; and a co-regency of jurists torturing an 18th-century document in order to justify what other countries are at least honest enough to recognize as an unprecedented novelty. Whether or not, per Scalia, we should condemn the United States Constitution, it might be time to put the poor wee thing out of its misery.
Just another day in the last days of the life of the republic.
It is good National Review can be read on the web. Many or most libraries refuse to carry a single edition of National Review. Since tax dollars support libraries, why are libraries allowed to censor National Review? Simple fact ... Conservative publication. Ran across this policy by libraries nearly thirty years ago. Doubt the status of censorship of National Review has been modified by many or most libraries nationwide.
Steyn ping!
Alas, brave new Babylon.
Why pass laws at all? Just let judges make stuff up. At least we could send the Congress and Senate home to look for real jobs ...
Frankly, that course of action is becoming more and more attractive as the months of this never-ending tyranny grind on and on. If America is no longer America then what is the sense of pretending it still is?
As much a I wasn’t in favor of her election, Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) took after Castillo for his abuse of this alleged disability.
