"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." - James Madison, the father of our Constitution

Damned if you do?
Please read the report below from NetRight Nation on Gil Kerikowske's involvement in the Seattle Mardi Gras riots.In 2001, a riot broke out on Mardi Gras at Seattle's Pioneer Square. Rather than send his officers in to break up the riot, Kerlikowske ordered them to stand by. So police officers stood at the edge of the crowd while the victims pleaded for help. Scores were injured, several women were sexually assaulted, and Kris Kime died amid the violence. Kris Kime, a 20-year-old college student and construction worker, was violently attacked after attempting to aid a woman who had been knocked to the ground.
Kime's family sued, and Seattle settled out of court for $1,750,000 and acknowledged that its police strategy had presented a public safety threat.
Kerlikowske, however, felt that he had made the right decision. "I think we moved in at the proper time given the size of that crowd, the mob mentality that existed and what I saw. And I take responsibility, and I stand by that decision. Every police decision, especially in this particular situation, is that we are damned if we do and damned if we don't." He added, “The criticism has been just unbelievable.”
Apparently his officers felt otherwise. Officer Ken Saucier, a member of the Seattle Police Guild board, said that if it's a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation, "our contention is ... you might as well be damned if you do. We're paid to do. That's why most of the people get into [police work]."
"Police officers are sworn to do a duty, and they want to do that," he said. "When they`re held back, they're not able to do what they got into the job to do,” said Mike Edwards, Seattle Police Guild president.

Now this is yet another of the losers Obama wants in his cabinet? Personally, I think a DRUG CZAR is a wasted position.. However, if you are the Obama administration and want to fill seats you start at the bottom to be sure.

Limbaugh attacked because he hopes Obama fails..
(Cross Posted From Michigan Taxes Too Much)
I hope he fails too.
If success for Barack Obama means the continuance of policies aimed at destroying the constitution, I hope he fails miserably. Further, I hope he is finally seen in a fitting way as a thug president attempting to usurp powers which belong to the people. I also hope that the people are wise enough to see the direction these Socialist/Marxist Wannabe potentates would take us. Perhaps the 10th amendment will help for those who need reminding:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The founders knew things such as a welfare state would happen, and they understood human nature. History at the very least held the Romans out as highly successful Republic until a gradual change to a democracy, which eventually gave them the Caesars and special interests fighting for the rights to spend the treasury in whatever manner they saw fit. Governments all too easily can work for the sake of themselves, rather than for the people of whom they are servant to.
This is the very reason this country exists. It was a response to an overbearing, unresponsive beast which did not recognize the freedoms that are a birthright. The colonists knowing they would never be truly protected and represented by their remote governors said enough is enough. The founders then experienced firsthand the tyrannical response of the spurned Monarchy. The kingdom which denied the god given rights many of us take for granted, and would hold the colonists to a slavery of tithing to it.. or else.
Limbaugh understands this all too well as he has been the thorn in the side of the Clinton Presidency, and n0w for “his Excellency” Barack Obama. He is currently being attacked through the collaborative efforts of the whitehouse and certain elements in the press and congress itself. The Republican party which had been weakened by the two terms of the Bush administration has been tagged as now being “led” by Limbaugh in a move that hopes to weaken the party because of Limbaugh’s statements hoping for Obama’s failure.
The reason Democrats think this will work is because of the Milquetoast resolve many in the Republican leadership have shown in the last two decades.
The assumption is that to defeat Republican Ideals, the messengers must be separated, marginalized, and eliminated one by one. To attack the message head on would be folly, as most Americans STILL hold the belief that the constitution is still the law of the land. To wit, MOST Americans are actually Republican in ideals. Attaching stigma to each of the conservative leaders as they come forward keeps the cohesiveness of common conservative ideas from being enough to hold back a determined socialist agenda.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
People do not need to like Rush Limbaugh’s confrontational manner to support him, and in turn support the fight against an aggressive socialist agenda. We as a nation simply need to understand that our enemy is common. It is a gradual removal of the protections afforded by the constitution through unchecked legislative action, and seemingly increasing presidential powers. The legislative branch and the presidency are an affront to the relegated powers assigned by our founding documents.
Silencing the loudest and most clearly resistive voice to the destruction of those controlling forces which bind the state’s hands is the agenda of the day. Weaker minds will instead prefer to believe that “in the best interest” of the country, “divisive rhetoric” should be silenced and a back should be turned to the boisterous pronouncement that freedom is our best bet. That pronouncement coming from behind what is known as the EIB Microphone. The stand of an “entertainer.”
What is “divisive,” is the use of selected soundbites to further the dissolution of true patriots who have minor differences, yet share core principles. What is “divisive,” is the continued corralling of those who disagree only slightly with their peers, yet find themselves supporting the unsupportable by their own reactionary reflection of the day’s news, and how they are expected to “feel” about it.
We are facing great change. Yes.. I can only Hope it fails.

New element discovered.
Subject: New Element
Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
