Obama's Constitution

We the Powerless of the United States, in Order to form a more empathic Union, establish economic Justice, insure domestic partnerships, provide for the democratic process, promote the Welfare State, and secure peoples's hopes and dreams for themselves and their anchor babies, do ordain and establish this Broader Vision for the United States of America.

Obama Pushes for 'Empathetic' Supreme Court Justices
I will seek someone who understands that justice isn't about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a casebook; it is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people's lives, whether they can make a living and care for their families, whether they feel safe in their homes and welcome in their own nation. I view that quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with people's hopes and struggles, as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes.

People say - with some justification, certainly - that Bush and Cheney had a distorted view of the constitution. But this is truly bizarre - the constitution is about teenage mothers?

    LOL - you're not giving up on that one!

    As Adam Smith said, there's a lot of ruin in a nation.

    You know what they say about car crashes...

    That is what it is like reading your blog and the others (Sailer, Auster, Denninger, Parapundit, Darby, Mangan, et al). I look for the positive therein but it continues to elude me. I guess that is why I pray.

    Prayer is good. But keep the gun amd extra ammo ready too. We're going to need it before this whole thing is over...

    Miles here Ziel,


    That paragraph from Borat Obama could have only have been read from a teleprompter. Nobody speaks that way.


    I'd like to see a constitutional amendment barring any and all political office holders and aspirants from using a teleprompter on pain of death if caught by forcing them to listen to Rap Music CD's 18 hours a day at high volume until they commit suicide with the pistol installed in their jail cells.
