Usually when crime bosses slip through the cracks of our justice system, we call them Teflon Dons. No matter what crime they are charged with, nothing seems to stick. However, that label may better fit those in the Obama Administration.

Yesterday, ten Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents sued their own agency.They allege the most shocking thing anyone in law enforcement can imagine. Specifically they say their bosses told them not only to let people break immigration law, but to break it themselves.

Obama grabs more kingly power

The Constitution. Did Lois Lerner waive her rights under this document?

Considering the Marxists, Islamists, Progressives, leftists and Communists that Obama has appointed during his first term of usurping the Presidency, would it not seem prudent for the House of Representatives, in control of the Republicans, to work harder at preventing more of that?

If you answered yes, you would be wrong. In fact, the Republican House has once again shown why the Tea Party is the only entity in this country that cares about the Constitution.

Obama Campaign Sinks to New Low – Scare Our Seniors to Death

The Pied Piper of Hamelin - metaphor for Barack Obama?

Spending the last week studying the Ryan plan on Medicare against the remarks made about it by Barack Obama and Joe Biden has produced a surprising result. The surprise is in finding that the only way Mr. Obama can deal with Ryan’s plan is to lie about it and he has done plenty of that.

Before the Ryan budget plan, putative President Barack Obama appointed the Simpson-Bowles Commission. Obama then threw their report away. Today the leaders of that commission hail Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). They say he tells the cold, hard truth.

Still at the top of the news is the dishonest ad put up by Barack Obama’s super PAC which implied that Mitt Romney was indirectly responsible for the death of cancer patient Ranae Soptic after the closing of the GST Steel plant in 2006.

It is now known that Mitt Romney was not managing the plant when Mrs. Soptic died and the Obama super PAC has as yet offered no apology to Governor Romney for their blatant lies.

Tragedy, Accountability, and the Obama Presidency

The Bible. Does tragedy result when people ignore It?

A plethora of incredibly hard to believe events takes place in America almost every day. Some are unexpected. Many are quite persistent like the nearly 1200 murders a year in Chicago. Others are horrendous events like the recent shooting in Aurora where over a dozen people were killed and several dozen wounded. All these events carry the label tragedy.

Obama: broken promises

A good way to know whether to trust someone is to look at their past behavior. When lawyers examine a potentially harmful witness in court, they do their best to impeach that witness. This simply means that they either manage to have the witness contradict their earlier testimony or they catch them in lies and/or untruths. The credibility of a witness that has given conflicting testimony or been caught in lies is considered to unreliable. In other words, if you couldn’t trust that person in the past, how can you trust them in the future. Jurors seem to understand that but voters do not. Barack H. Obama is a case in point.

Ryan budget plan focus of campaign

Representative Paul Ryan first introduced the Ryan budget plan in 2008. This year, the House passed a version of it. Now he has a new version on his House web page. Supporters and opponents both focused on the Ryan budget plan as soon as Mitt Romney nominated Ryan for Vice President. This should surprise no one. Paul Ryan has a plan; the putative President does not. That plan does not impose Greek-style austerity. It does promise to balance the budget in the only way one can balance it: by cutting spending. When he wrote it, Paul Ryan faced reality, both financial and political.

Harry Reid and electioneering

Savage political campaigns and often more-savage scenes in the halls of Congress have been part of American history since the War for Independence ended. Compared to Matthew Lyon and Roger Griswold’s famous brawl on the House floor in 1798, what Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) said about Mitt Romney on the Senate floor seems tame. But it is a cowardly act.
