TRUST GOVERNMENT
1. “In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” - Thomas Jefferson
2. “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence (OBAMACARE – mine), the money of their constituents.” – James Madison
3. “If you want peace, work for Justice.” Pope John Paul II
4. Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy
5. Journalists did not question Pelosi's claims -- and then they stopped questioning her. Pelosi announced that she would not take more questions on the topic, and the media complied.
6. When the Elite talk to each other about us littler people: Dr. Schwab and Company have made a handsome business out of enabling old-fashioned clubby capitalism by wrapping it in feel-good globoblather: "unprecedented multistakeholder, multimedia dialogue...look at all issues on the global agenda in a systemic, integrated and strategic way...intensify collaboration and develop innovative solutions...generate an unprecedented process of discussion and deliberation." As George Orwell tellingly observed, "When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink." The next time you hear "multistakeholder," remember that, in Davos at least, corporations hold the biggest stake.
7. Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?
8. Global Warming Science: What’s the problem? If the data doesn’t fit the hypothesis, they correct the data. If the results still don’t create the desired conclusion, they adjust the model. Government money keeps rolling in. Politicians leap at chances to make our lives more expensive and difficult.
9. But Obama’s approach to most policy and political debates has been to reiterate the notion that his way was not simply the best way, but the only way—or at least the only legitimate, acceptable, reasonable way. His conversation today with Rep. Ryan, I think, is a tacit admission that that’s just not the case.
10. Obama to have enquiry about college bowl games :Here are two (related) questions some reporter should ask Robert Gibbs at the next press briefing: “Is there any aspect of our lives that the President will say is off-limits to federal regulation? Is there anything that he will unequivocally promise not to try to control?”
11. If they try to control how much sugar I drink in sodas and how college football is played, I can’t think of anything they would not try to control.
12. Only idiot would demand trials in NYC: MayorBloomberg said yesterday that “he would not brand Obama a flip-flopper over his turnabout. To me, it's a sign of maturity, strength and intellect," Bloomberg said on WOR radio yesterday. "If somebody comes up with a better idea -- if the world changes -- you change." No, the man is an idiot who again flip flopped.
