Agreed. Give him a break, he did the best he knew how, as do we all, in Jesus name, amen.

Bingo! And now, he believes that because he’s resigning, no one can challenge him on his surrender monkey tactics.

I understand your point and in many ways agree.

But about a month ago I was trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with the supreme court. Why do conservative presidents have such a bad track record of nominating supreme court judges...

I was searching to see if there was any pattern to the choices in the last few decades when I feel the court took a hard left turn.

And I was shocked when I discovered that there wasn't a single protestant judge on the court! And that all the backstabbing judges appointed by republicans were Catholics.

Now I dont have anything against Catholics any more than I have against people from the North East.

BUT

When I start to see patterns in the way people behave, vote or judge based on things like what part of the country they grew up in or what their religious background is... I take notice.

That isn't to say I wouldn't support a Catholic for various positions. And we do currently have some amazing conservative Catholic Judges on the court, it's just that after seeing the pattern I have now put Catholics in with Yankees when it comes to the guilty until proven innocent category.

80% of the catholics appointed by republicans (scalia, alito, thomas and roberts) are solidly conservative

The President is an atheist Marxist with the warm fuzzies for islam.
Not one thing Christian about him.

I am not giving him a break. We all make mistakes, but how we handle the mistakes shows our character. Boehner has done possibly irreparable damage to the conservative movement by squashing conservative votes, threatening and punishing conservative representatives when they didn’t “toe the party line,” and not standing up to Obama when it counted.

I think Rubio would make a good replacement for Boehner.

It’s like shift work in a 24 hour business.

There’s the day crew, the night shift, and the twilight gang.

Each are oblivious to the other.

That would be a really unique choice, having a US Senator as Speaker of the House. I guess it might even be legal, but I don’t know. I think that anyone can be Speaker of the House, even Newt or Allan West.

Louie was on with Buck Sexton (filling in for Rush) today. He sounded like he’s at least thinking about it.

Cincinnati seems attracted to those types. A certain mayor patronized the whorehouses in Kentucky and paid by check.
