In recent days, the freakish braying of the Democrat Donkey has reached a vertigo-inducing level of true insanity.
We have the Democrats deciding that Obama does not need to be qualified to be President to serve as President, the urging of the Botox Battlewagon Nancy Pelosi for Obama to seize control of the duties of the Supreme Court, Obama's Environmental Protection Agency fining businesses for not doing the impossible, and the declaration that a near act of war surreptitiously committed against the Mexican government is not a scandal.
Tired of the continuing arguments that may show Obama to be ineligible to be President, the Democrats (in the form of the Tennessee Democrat Party and the Democrat National Committee) have filed a motion that states -- and I quote -- "Defendants assert that the Tennessee Democrat Party has the right to nominate whoever it chooses to run as a candidate, including someone who is not qualified for the office[1]". In this manner, they declare that the impossible is not only possible, but desirable.
Nancy Pelosi, who clearly hails from a universe in which Spock sports a goatee and the Federation uses Agonizer Booths to maintain order, has recently urged President Obama to completely ignore the role and responsibility of the Supreme Court, by saying recently, "I think he should [declare the debt ceiling unconstitutional][2]". Never mind that a President cannot 'declare' a law Unconstitutional, that is a privilege and a duty reserved to the Supreme Court of the United States.
In another example of 'the impossible must be done', the EPA has fined (in 2011), and plans much more aggressive fines in 2012, various oil refineries who must use a product that simply does not exist in sufficient quantities to comply[3]. With this thinking, surely they can mandate, then fine for failure, the inclusion of three cups of gossamer fairy wings in every hundred gallons of gas.
And finally, there is the act of war the American government has committed against Mexico, by supplying (most to the Sinaloas[4]) drug gangs weapons that were purchased in America by strawmen. The strawman purchases were noticed, flagged, and permitted -- without any attempt to trace them -- by the BATF, under the direction of Eric (With)Holder. One wonders why.... until one remembers Obama's quote to Sarah Brady, that he was working on gun control 'under the radar'[5]. Also, in the footnote 4), above, a reasonable person might wonder if Obama's administration has actually chosen sides in the Mexican Drug Cartel Wars, placing their fealty with the Sinaloas gang.
That's the lawbreaking part. The insanity surrounding it is that we are starting to see the liberal footsoldiers declare that this is not even a scandal[6], and that even bringing it up is 'racist'. (Yes, once again, the overused, over-its-limit Race Card is presented.)
All of this is insanity. Unless, of course, the goal was to weaken America in any way possible: Weaken her laws, weaken her Constitution, weaken her businesses, and weaken her relations with her neighbors.
Then, it would be being crazy like a fox.
Add me too! mc5
You got it!
Doing the wrong, dishonest thing could derive from being stupid or being evil. I think it is safe to assume that the party and ideology of envy and death is operating on the behalf of evil.
Nice plan, although I hate to give congress the discression of distinguished between what is “essential legislation” and what is not “essential”.
I’m sure in every big spending congressman’s mind all of his programs are “essential”. In my mind the only “essential” spending possible is the defense spending during a time of declared war. The kind of spending necessary to insure that there is a tomorrow. But even that should be paid for in 20 years.
As for dictator for a day, I remind you the roman tried that to fix their problem and restore their constitution. (see: Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix)
The result was a precedence that was used to ultimately and permanently overthrow the Roman Republic bring about the roman empire.
Unfortunately the very power you imagine to fix this problem is a power no man can ever be allowed to have. Such a power would destroy whatever is left of our republic just as assuredly as it did Rome.

I truly think you could write an epic article on just Pelousey. There is just so much incredible stupidity and insanity available to dwell on............
Add me to the list Laz!
Thanks!
By the way, your “True Story” is hysterical!! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.
Thanks,
T
I do.
Nah, most communities don't deserve him. He deserves something higher. Can you imagine Laz as, say, press secretary? Heck, for that matter, what about president? What about starting a "Draft Laz, dump Romney" movement?
(Or maybe I shouldn't have said "dump" and "movement" in the same sentence ... oops)
Got ya in there! Thanks for the kind words!
Good article...
(I prefer hyperlinking the passage to footnotes.)
Sample size: 1.
Weighting: 1 Republican, 0 Democrats, 0 Independents.
Margin of Error: +- 100%.
What!! No golf games during that time?
I think of it whenever Pelosi speaks these days.
She's always been insane, but the pressure the party of "diversity and tolerance" is under these days seems to be making her condition percolate to the surface with a vengeance these days, not that that's a bad thing.
I come down firmly on the side of both footnotes and hyperlinks. But if you could use "ibid" once in a while for the footnotes so that I can feel smug for remembering what it means, then I'm for footnotes.
My needs are small.
Laz: Very nicely done. Look forward to your future editorials.
That’s another one out of the park. Excellence in commentary is definitely your forte. I do believe that your conclusion is exactly right.
Sorry I didn’t answer yesterday, but as you know, FR was suffering a DOS attack or maintenance problems.
