Economic Justice
There is no wisdom in giving a person a pre-determined wage. You should be paid whatever the market dictates you are worth. Hard work, education, and attitude will determine your worth better than any executive order can.
Supreme Court Justices Should At Least Try To Be Impartial
Something is wrong, very wrong with the Supreme Court. With the power they have to dictate law, (see Obamacare is a tax), the justices should at least try to put on a non partisan face. Unfortunately, they don’t even try anymore.
Justice Sonia Sotamayer speaking to students at Yale:
Sotomayor was asked at a talk at Yale Law School later in the day about her use of the term “undocumented immigrants” rather than the traditional illegal alien. Sotomayor characterized the issue as a regulatory problem and said labeling immigrants criminals seemed insulting to her.
“I think people then paint those individuals as something less than worthy human beings and it changes the conversation,” Sotomayor said.
Um, no. They are here illegally which makes them criminal. When a Supreme Court Justice twists that description you are in dangerous territory. She is looking through the wrong prism, instead of law, she is looking through the skewed perspective of left ideology.
The 59-year-old justice said she quickly left an interview to attend Harvard, feeling she didn’t belong. She said Yale students in the 1970s were talking about revolutions in Cuba and other countries while she had attended a Catholic high school where the monsignor supported the Vietnam War.
“This is too progressive for me,” she said of Yale, sparking laughter. “Yeah, strange, right?”
Shouldn’t be considered strange at this point. You either have convictions and principles or you don’t. If you change your mind with the prevailing winds, you are not worthy of being on the Supreme Court. And it seems to me, this is exactly what Ms. Sotamayer has become.
She admitted that she sometimes finds herself stuck between two worlds, one in which her colleagues talk of operas and another in which she sees a cockroach in an apartment in her old Bronx neighborhood and flees. “Sometimes I do feel I’m not part of either world completely,” she said. “My life has changed so much that going back I don’t feel I’m completely part of the conversation.”
I would like to think a Supreme Court Justice should be decisive, strong, and un-wavering, wishy washy don’t cut it. I would rather have a person who has worked their ass off for years with the hope to be considered for a Justice position, not one who feels out of place. That gives me the sense that she was surprised with the nomination, surprised she was confirmed, and feels obligated to the people who selected her. Basically a rubber stamp for the left.
Obamabots’ Feeling The Squeeze
Always find it interesting when the useful idiots who voted for Obama are shocked when they discover they were lied too also.
Lamb says her old CoverTN plan cost just $57 a month and “was perfectly suited to my unique medical condition” until her plan and 16,000 other Tennesseans’ plans were canceled due to Obamacare. Lamb’s new Obamacare platinum plan costs $373 a month, even with a small subsidy, and that she is likely to spend over $6,000 more a year on her medical costs.
Lamb, who attended Obama’s State of the Union address as a guest of her congresswoman, says she has had to take a second job to pay for her Obamacare plan.
“Given my health problems, the physical and emotional drain that this puts on me is difficult to bear. It’s also made it much more difficult for me to care for my ailing mother, who depends on me for help,” wrote Lamb.
In the end, Lamb says she feels betrayed by the man she voted for.
“Mr. President, you’ve now broken all of these promises–and not just to me.”
Say Anything
It’s what liberals do. Come up with numbers, percentages, and facts that are completely false. This is where the media falls flat, by not exposing the lies immediately, the useful idiots believe it to be true.
GOP Amnesty Principles Will Fall On Deaf Ears
The standards follow the logic that it is best to address all immigration problems this session of Congress, even if in different bills. The standards follow the Senate’s approach of promising border security and workplace enforcement (through typically meaningless “triggers”) in exchange for immediate amnesty of those here unlawfully.
Because amnesty by itself is extremely unpopular, sometimes policymakers include other, more popular measures alongside it.
For example, in 1986 Congress passed, and President Reagan signed, a “one time” amnesty of some 3 million unlawful immigrants and was promised border security and workplace enforcement. Unfortunately, the promises were not kept. Today more than 10 million unlawful immigrants reside in the United States. Instead of repeating past mistakes, a truly step-by-step process would be to ensure border and workplace laws are being enforced, period. The only real way to be sure that unlawful immigration has been stopped is to count the number of unlawful immigrants in the census.
A Blast From The Past To Obama
This is the bag of goods he sold, all proven to be lies. Go get him Joe, but it’s not Democracy…It’s a Constitutional Republic.
“Democracy and liberty are not the same. Democracy is little more than mob rule, while liberty refers to the sovereignty of the individual.”

The Woman Who Was Just Doing Her Job
Here ya go. This is the lady that felt the need to save Illinois from this terrible unhealthy cupcake girl. Unbelievable.
Amy Yeager, a health department spokeswoman, about the county’s decision to shut down Chloe’s business, she said that she was doing it for the sake of the public. “The rules are the rules. It’s for the protection of the public health,” Yeager said, according to the Post-Dispatch. “The guidelines apply to everyone.”
“People will react how they choose to react,” she added. “But it is our job.”
Really, it’s your job to shut down a little girls hobby. What if this little girl learned from her experience and started her own company and grew into a national chain that produced thousands of jobs, many right there in Illinois? Good job you liberal asshat, you just shot down a potential American dream for this little girl.
Chloe originally started selling the frosted cakes under the name “Hey, Cupcake” to save up for a car when she turns sixteen.
And before the government took her oven mitts, the sixth grader charged $10 for a dozen cupcakes and $2 for each specialty cupcake.
However, she was also known to donate her time and sprinkles to charity. When a boy in her school was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, she donated cupcakes to help raise money for his treatment. Adding a personal touch, she made them orange and blue because he “was a really big Cubs fan.”
Her largest order ever, amounting to 220 cupcakes, was also for a cancer fundraiser.
How do you feel now Ms. Yeager, you government bred hag?
What Side – You Decide
Holder Doing His Best Hillary
It is difficult to follow this hearing and get any answers out of it. Holder is using a broad brush to claim silence in answering questions due to”ongoing investigation” integrity. At some point somebody has got to find a smoking gun on the lawless actions of the IRS as directed by the Obama administration. It is so obvious it makes me ill, and if you take Valerie Jarretts threat “our enemies will be punished” I can see no other conclusion.
“No, I don’t know anything about the political activities of any of the people who are involved in this investigation,” he said when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) questioned him during a Justice Department oversight hearing.
Bullshit!
“As I said to I think it was maybe Senator Graham, I’m not going to discuss an ongoing investigation and what steps have been taken in connection with that investigation, and that is not something I’m only doing for this inquiry,” Holder responded.
“This would be an answer you would get from me for any investigation that the Justice Department was involved in. It is not appropriate for an attorney general or any Justice Department person to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation,” Holder added.
Lawyer double talk, seems to me that if you are in an oversight hearing, these people are Holders bosses and he should be forthright with any information they request. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to lose in disclosure.
