2009 Anal-Ocity

HA HA HA HA….sorry sometimes people in Congress say the damnedest things….and this time I cannot blame the GOP for a complete anal statement….this time it is Dem that has his head shoved up his ass….

Democrat Rep. Rick Boucher of Virginia told a town hall meeting:

“I have a problem with this government option plan,” Boucher said. “I’m troubled that the government option plan could become very popular and if it became sufficiently popular it could begin to crowd out the other” private insurance companies.

I am sorry but that is another really anal statement. Sorry, but funny is funny….and that is funny.  Can you see the humor?  This dipstick supports co-ops and these will not be a powerful deterrent to powerful insurance.  So how much cash does this dipstick get from the health industry?


Is Beck On Vacation?

It looks like Glenn Beck of FOX News will be absent from the airwaves for a week….the story is he will be on vacation….or did he get time off for bad behavior?

In a report by the AP:

Glenn Beck returns to Fox News Channel on Monday after a vacation with fewer companies willing to advertise on his show than when he left, part of the fallout from calling President Barack Obama a racist.A total of 33 Fox advertisers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS Caremark, Clorox and Sprint, directed that their commercials not air on Beck’s show, according to the companies and ColorofChange.org, a group that promotes political action among blacks and launched a campaign to get advertisers to abandon him. That’s more than a dozen more than were identified a week ago.

Will this put an end to unwarranted and vile attacks?  Nope, just more fuel for the fire.

On the website examiner.com there is a different tale being passed around.

The recent and, until now, successful advertiser boycott initiated against Glenn Beck by the radical group Color of Change, appears to be backfiring on the left wing group and its supporters.  Grass roots support coming from diehard fans defending the patriotic radio/TV personality and constitutional watchdog seems to be growing in an exponential fashion.An extemporaneous, nationwide movement is rapidly taking shape to support Beck.  Facebook groups, Web sites, home-grown e-mail blasts, viral marketing and individual telephone call list campaigns have appeared in record numbers supporting Beck.

With a voice that reaches nearly as many as Rush Limbaugh, Beck has increasingly become a target for progressive, liberal, socialist and green groups who disagree with the talk-show host’s opinions and the information he presents – information that most other talk-show hosts are afraid to touch.

Beck’s dissemination of critical information has cut deep into wrong doing, lies and inconsistencies in the Bush White House and continues today with his “pulling aside of the veil” that hides falsehoods and corruption in the Obama administration.  In a world of Change, where union workers and community organization group members are used as rent-a-mobs to stop dissent and discourse, it’s no surprise that the White House has a vested interest in silencing Mr. Beck – enter Van Jones.

Hopefully, Beck’s employers will stick it out with him instead of cowering to the progressive boycott, only time will tell.  But for now, we get to see one in a long line of examples of how actions produced by left-think quite often create a result contradictory to its intent.

Once again we go back to what will you believe?

Will The Constitution Be Violated?

Professor’s Classroom

Subject:   US Constitution

I asked this question some months ago and at that time I was asking if Obama would violate it.  Then I was pointing to the nomination of Clinton as a possible violation….that problem was averted but there has been many accusations of the violation of the Constitution in the past couple of months.

Just yesterday, North Carolina Rep. Foxx said this about health care:

The Constitution doesn’t grant a right to health care, and most of us are living as much by the Constitution as we can. It also doesn’t give the federal government the authority to deal with health care.

There is always the part about the “general welfare”?

This woman has made several appearance in Info Ink” Anal-Ocity posts, but I digress……

Rep. Bachmann has accused Obama of violating the Constitution by his pushing of the health care reform…hers however is lame and impotent argument.  And then there is the whole Constitutional BS of Obama’s citizenship…and I know everyone has heard that accusation.  And if you believe the BS you would be mistaken…the Prez is a citizen and there is NO violation.

All the accusations have been wrong?  So far most of them are total BS.  But before we go any further there is a few things I should cover, like the 1st amendment which states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,

And then there is the state’s rights thing:

all the rights and powers which the Constitution neither grants to the federal government nor denies to the state governments.

And now I would bet that you are wondering where I am going with this, right?

Alrighty then…..the state of Texas, go figure, has recently made it mandatory that the Bible be taught in its public school system.  Now is that a violation of the US Constitution?  Please look at it from a constitutional law perspective and not from personal emotional thing.

The state has past a law that violates the whole separation of church and state thingy…….if the Constitution has said that it is unlawful to put one religion over another…..then how can a state enforce a state law that violates the US Constitution?  Civil rights is the first thing that comes to mind.  Should this mandate be challenged in a court of law?  How should the Constitution be interpreted?  Figuratively?  Literally?  Just how should it be viewed?

These questions have been asked for decades and probably for the entire life of the country…..but how do you see this playing out?
