Reaction: Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize | 44 | washingtonpost.com

 

Congratulations, a less deserving person could not have been picked. President Obama has entered the ranks of such notables as  Yasser Arafat.

This award goes to show that if a person gets up every day, becomes a communist, gets elected to the office of President of The United States through massive alleged voter fraud by groups such as ACORN, that his accomplishments will be recognized by a group of leftwing wackos in Europe.

House OKs measure to make anti-gay violence a hate crime — latimes.com

 

I have a hard time understanding why it is more of a crime to attack somebody because you hate their “Gayness” than to attack somebody because you want their wallet.

What if you attack someone for no perceivable reason at all, is that LESS of a crime than if you attack them because you want their wallet.

In the case of Mathew Sheppard, would he be LESS dead had he been straight?

Or for that matter if somebody happens to be straight yet you think he is “GAY” and then you steal his wallet is that a hate crime or just plain old theft.

How about if you’re attending a KKK rally and as you leave you are run over by a black-homosexual driving a truck with a “Re-Elect Obama” sticker on its bumper, would that be a simple car accident, or is it a politically inspired hate accident?

If the driver yelled out the window before the accident, “Get out’-a my way you hick” does that make the accident a crime.

Lets say you actually do have an  animus for Republicans, and you punch Sean Hannity in the chops, but you never told anyone of your animus for Republicans, does your silence convert this from a hate crime to just a simple assault?

A final example suppose you’re a self-loathing homosexual, and you are attending a Liza Minnelli concert with some friends. During the concert you get into a fight with your “Life-Partner”, resulting in injuries, during the scuff you yell out

“You’re just a little fag.”

Does that constitute a hate crime? Or does your being part of the hated group exempt you from hating the group?

There are many thorny issues that need to be weighed here. Life would be much easier on all of us if things were kept simple, Mathew Sheppard was apparently murdered and the murderer should be tried for that crime and NOT for what he thought about gays before the crime.

The Arab Conspiracy to DUMP the US Dollar

At least thats what its being called. News reports have surfaced recently that the oil producing nations have been having secret meetings with the intent if dropping the US Dollar as a meduim for exchange and instead creating a NEW currency or a baskett currency. This has widely reported as some sort of ANTI-American conspiracy.

Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, the US Congress is to blame for all the woes facing the Dollar. If the Dollar was holding its value these other governments would not want to dump it. However, as Congress continues on with its plan of massive government spending not supported by by the tax base or economic growth there can be only one outcome and that is a devalued dollar.

As the Government deficit spends (Spends Money Not Supported by Tax Revenue) they have to print money in order to do it. When you print money faster than an economy grows you devalue the money currently in circulation. Any time you have more of something the price goes down. Now if you had an investment in your neighbors house and you discovered your neighbor was going to tear the house down, would you not want to rid yourself of this investment before your neighbor makes it worthless?

Of course you would, and thats what is going on with the push to rid the world of the deflating US Dollar. Its not ANTI-American – in fact for americans who want a small Government which obeys its Constitution restrictions this is the best thing that can happen. If were lucky the rest of the world will drop the dollar and this will force Congress back in check.

Health Care a New Angle

Today while musing on the looming government take over of health care. I was caught wondering not whether it was a good idea for the Federal government to take it over, or ever if it is necessary.

The thought the popped in my head is whether it is APPROPRIATE for the Federal government to take it over. The genius of the United States is that we have by design a separation of powers, not only at the Federal level but also in each of the states. The separation was devised by our founders as a way to keep government from becoming too oppressive. What is called GRIDLOCK today, and demonized by those in power who seek to take away our freedoms is actually there by the intention of our founders.

As I read the constitution I see that the role of the Federal government is strictly limited by the document which serves to set it up. The federal government is to Provide for a common defense, regulate trade between the states and strike treaties with foreign governments.

I don’t see where the Federal government is given the power to interfere with my relationship with a doctor. In fact what I see in the Constitution is that the Federal government is STRICTLY prohibited from interfering with such relationships. All powers not given to the federal government are to be left to the people and the states.

So, it seems to me that it is irrelevant whether HEALHCARE, needs an overhaul or not, this simply begs the question. If healthcare did need an overhaul, said overhaul should be going on at the State level. Several States have already introduced socialized health-care reforms, perhaps those desiring socialized medicine should move to those States. Tennessee, and Massachusetts, come to mind immediately.

The saddest part of this recent power grab, is that the argument is not whether it is appropriate. When beginning any reform the first question to be asked is whether or not the governing body actually has the authority to institute the reform. In the case of health care it clear that the federal government DOES NOT have this authority.
