Quote: 

"Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them."

In Honor of Fallen Patriots

They Gave Their Fortunes and Lives for Our Liberty

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." --John 15:12-14

Memorial Day was first observed as Decoration Day to commemorate those who died in the War Between the States. It is a day set aside in deference to American Patriots who pledged and delivered their lives to Support and Defend the Rule of Law enshrined in our Constitution.

Since our nation's founding, more than one million American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen have paid the ultimate price in defense of our nation, and it is their final sacrifice that we honor with solemn reverence.

RedState Morning Briefing

For May 27, 2011

1. Why Conservatives should oppose The NAT GAS Act

HR 1380, otherwise known as the "NAT GAS Act", is bipartisan legislation (sponsored by 105 Democrats, 83 Republicans) supported by billionaire T. Boone Pickens that would provide billions of dollars in tax incentives for the production and use of natural gas vehicles. Several fiscal conservatives in the House have been duped into thinking this is a good bill but I hope that they immediately withdraw their names as co-sponsors. Putting aside the fact that market-distorting tax credits destroy the system of free enterprise, and are opposed by the Club for Growth, I wanted to highlight one specific part of the bill.

Please click here for the rest of the post.

2. Did Union Bosses Lie To Their Members About Obama's Gun Control Ambitions?

In 2008, most union bosses had to work hard to convince their union members to vote for Barack Hussein Obama. Despite the fact that the Machinists' union boss Tom Buffenbarger considered Obama a "thespian" and "Janus, the two-faced Roman god of ancient times," others union bosses like the SEIU's Andy Stern were wholly on board the Obama bandwagon early on. Another of Obama's major supporters was the AFL-CIO's Richard Trumka, who told union members that they were racists if they did not vote for Obama.

3. The Medicare Crisis is Here

For years now, the American people have been treated to a single response from Democrat lawmakers and executives when it comes to reforming our bloated, foundering retirement programs: There Is No Crisis. That's been the mantra of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and many other Democrats since George W. Bush attempted to stave off the collapse of the taxpayer-funded retiree safety net - the crisis isn't here yet, so it's certainly no time to act! Heaven forbid that action would be taken in advance, so as to avert an impending crisis; after all, we all know that the truly wise build their ark after the rains begin, rather than before.

The fact is, the crisis is here - particularly for Medicare, which is so far underwater it would take several United States' to pay off just what is owed right now to those who have already paid into the system (and who are therefore owed benefits at some point). As usual, though, the Democrats - who, as the owners of the Senate and the White House have the responsibility to act or to accept the justified blame for system collapse - are not only covering their ears and eyes and declaring that no crisis exists, but are attempting to demonize any who dare point out fiscal and medical reality while scaring seniors into voting Democrat lest they be thrown off cliffs by evil, murderous Republicans (yes, the same evil, murderous Republicans who "want you dead" so they can "make money off your corpse," and whose "health care plan is [for people to] die quickly").

4. Obama Calls for 'Patience and Persistence' on his Unapproved, Directionless War in Libya

Let me begin with a moment of candor: I'd honestly be surprised if a majority of the American people even know that America is at war in Libya. I'd be far more surprised if any significant number of Americans know that our self-declared unitary executive has disregarded his legal requirement to secure approval from Congress in order to continue his war beyond the already-passed 60 day mark, which passed by a week ago.

That's right: Obama's "kinetic military action" in Libya (which you may or may not have heard of; he finally broke several weeks' silence on the topic in the last few days) is now in its third month, with no end or clear goal in sight. This isn't much of a surprise to anybody whose been paying attention, of course - save for the President and his inner circle, who apparently believed that a few Tomahawks and F-15E sorties would have a 42-year dictator running for the hills in abdication within mere days, and who seem stunned that the NATO airstrikes being carried out on behalf of...well, of the not-Qaddafi side haven't yet resulted in an end to this civil war.

5. Good News / Bad News for Debbie Wasserman Schultz!

The bad news: she didn't realize that she was calling members of her own party 'anti-woman' before she started screaming to The Weekly Standard's John McCormack about how people who voted to defund Planned Parenthood are anti-woman!

Truth on Medicare Will Win Out

Human Events | by Jason Mattera | 05/27/2011 

Paul Ryan rejects the narrative being pushed by the liberal media that his proposal to reform Medicare is toxic for the Republican Party. "Demagoguery can work for a short period of time, but it doesn't last because the truth comes out," he told Human Events. "Time is on our side. Truth and the facts are on our side, and all we have to do is get the truth out there."

He added: "It just takes time because you've got to get the facts out. If you have a tight time compression, if you have a short period of time, the demagoguery can work, but it can't last."

Are Liberals Actually Human?

The Patriot Post | By Burt Prelutsky | May 26, 2011

Two questions that often plague me are what planet do liberals hail from, and why don't they go back?

For instance, Michael Moore, who looks more and more like Helen Thomas every day, along with many of his fellow leftists, has insisted that, morally, there was no difference between Osama bin Laden's killing 3,000 people on 9/11 and our killing him. Just how fatheaded do you have to be to even suggest such a thing?

Obama's 'Victory Dance' on Auto Bailouts Could Hurt Business, Industry Expert Warns

CNSNEWS | By Matt Cover | May 27, 2011 

(CNSNews.com) -The Obama administration's recent touting of its unpopular bailout of American automakers General Motors and Chrysler may actually end up hurting business at the two recovering firms, an industry expert tells CNSNews.com.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the expert said that if the government really wants to ensure that it breaks even on its investment in GM and Chrysler, using the bailouts for political purposes will not help.

Market research indicated that the bailouts were unpopular and had a stigmatizing effect on automakers, added the expert.

Senate Stands Still on Budget Crisis

Solving our nation's fiscal crisis is not up for debate, and politicians should be past the point of using it as fodder for political gain. But you wouldn't know it by looking at the latest from liberals in Congress who are digging in their heels and refusing to recognize the reality of America's budgetary mess.

Europe Calls Bibi 'Arrogant' For Not Agreeing To Commit National Suicide

Laura: Herein lies the stark contrast between the moral clarity of Americans and the lack of any semblence of a moral compass on the part of the Europeans. Americans unlike Europeans are able to distinguish between good and evil and right and wrong and know that Israel is on the right side and its enemies evil. Europe is willing to throw Israel and the Jews to the wolves in order to appease the muslim world. Europe regards Bibi's refusal to agree to commit national suicide as "arrogant". The fact that leaving Israel with an indefensible 9 mile wide state opens it to attack matters not at all to a Europe that couldn't care less whether Israel survives. In fact they would welcome Israel's demise. According to the EU, how dare Bibi not sacrifice the lives of his people and his nation's survival to what Europe views as the greater good of appeasing an implacable muslim world. Europe drove most of its Jews out and now wants to deprive them of their own...

The Religion of Blood and War

Brian of London here:

A few years ago in 2009 Aluf Benn at Ha'aretz compared Netanyahu to Winston S. Churchill:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an admirer of Winston Churchill and views him as a role model, not only because of the cigar smoking, the love of history and the hobnobbing with millionaires.

Ouch! That's what he leads with? That's Aluf Benn's above the fold impression of Churchill, without a shadow of a doubt Britain's finest statesman and the man, single-most responsible for keeping the lights of freedom burning across Europe and probably the whole world? The aloof Aluff continues thusly:

Netanyahu compared himself to Churchill when he opposed the Oslo Accords and earned the hostility of the Israeli "elites" who supported the Oslo process. He saw his election in 1996 as a mission to save the nation and stop Oslo, as Churchill was appointed prime minister after his dark prophecies came true in World War II.

NATO Bombs Libyan Capital in Heaviest Strikes Yet

NYT
 
TRIPOLI, Libya - In the heaviest attack yet on the capital since the start of the two-month-old NATO bombing campaign, alliance aircraft struck at least 15 targets in central Tripoli early Tuesday, with most of the airstrikes concentrated on an area around Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi's command compound.

The strikes, within a 30-minute period around 1 a.m., caused thunderous explosions and fireballs that leapt high into the night sky, causing people in neighborhoods a mile or more away to cry out in alarm.

Just as one strike ended, the sound of jet engines from low-flying aircraft in the stormy skies above the capital signaled the imminence of another. Huge plumes of black smoke rose and converged over the darkened cityscape.

"We thought it was the day of judgment," one enraged Libyan said.

The intensity of the attacks, and their focus on the area of the Bab al-Aziziya command compound in central Tripoli, appeared to reflect a NATO decision to step up the tempo of...

Netanyahu throws down the guantlet

AKIVA ELDAR, HAARETZ

Netanyahu's peace plan, if that is the right phrase for the collection of unrealistic terms he presented to Congress on Tuesday, leads straight to the burial of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, an international crisis and a UN declaration of a Palestinian state.

WASHINGTON - Sara Netanyahu once said during a family gathering that if her husband had run for president of the United States, he would easily be elected (assuming, of course, that he were legally allowed to run). Indeed, in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address before both houses of Congress on Tuesday, he made impressive use of all the gimmicks of an experienced and sharp-tongued American politician.

The extent of the applause he received throughout his speech shows that the many years he spent in the United States as a high school, college and graduate student, as a deputy chief of mission at the Israeli Embassy in Washington and as an ambassador to the United...

A ban on circumcision?

Circumcision, a fundamental rite in Judaism, has been a part of Jewish life for nearly 4,000 years.

by Jeff Jacoby, The Boston Globe

ON THE BALLOT in San Francisco this fall will be a proposal making it a crime to circumcise male children. If the measure passes, anyone convicted of circumcising a baby boy could be fined up to $1,000 and sentenced to a year in prison. Even for San Francisco, this is madness.

The circumcising of newborn boys is perhaps the most familiar type of surgery in the United States. According to the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, US hospitals perform the procedure more than 1.2 million times each year. While there are wide variations by ethnicity and region, and while circumcision rates have declined in recent years, the great majority of American men are circumcised. And in nearly every case, the decision was made for them in their infancy by their parents - just like the decision to breastfeed or bottle-feed, or to use cloth or...

Obama doesn't get the arithmetic of the Israel-Palestine situation

By George Jonas

About 10 years ago, when the spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, was still with us, he gave an interview to freelance photo-journalist Flore de Préneuf. Unlike the Palestinian Liberation Organization's cagey Yasser Arafat, whose shtick was his forked tongue, Yassin preferred speaking in plain language. "Hamas was established to resist and kick out the occupier," he told de Préneuf. "All of Israel, Tel Aviv included, is occupied Palestine."

Ten years later, Yessin is dead, and so is Arafat. Many of my colleagues see a fundamental change in the Middle East. Maybe it's my glasses, but I see nothing.

I'm squinting, trying to refocus, but far from seeing anything fundamental, I don't even see very much cosmetic. The Middle East continues to be the Middle East, and the West continues to be...

Santana Symbolizes Anti-American Extreme of Open Borders Movement as He Blasts E-Verify . . .

. . . but Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith Tells Our Top Supporters that E-Verify Can Happen This Year!

Aging rock 'n roll guitarist Carlos Santana was invited recently to an Atlanta Braves baseball game to receive a civil rights award. He used the opportunity to blast Georgians for passing a mandatory E-Verify bill.

"I represent the human race," Santana intoned. "The people of Arizona, the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves."

This is about fear, that people are going to steal my job, he said. No we aint. You dont clean toilets and clean sheets, stop shucking and jiving.

Santana made these ludicrous and offensive statements because the Georgia had just passed a law to mandate use of the E-Verify system in that state. Good for Georgia!

You will recall that the federal E-Verify system keeps illegal aliens from getting jobs. Santana doesn't oppose the E-Verify because it will not work. He opposes it because it does work.

You know we at NumbersUSA have been a champion of both state and federal mandatory E-Verify legislation for years. Guess what? I think national E-Verify is going to happen -- this year.

When NumbersUSA held its 4th Annual Spring Symposium for our most generous supporters this month, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), Chairman of the House Judiciary, spoke to us and said our forces are very close to victory. He's determined to "move" legislation this year to make federal E-Verify mandatory.

Ten Myths of Ryan's House Budget Plan 

By Brian Riedl,Robert Moffit, Ph.D., and Romina Boccia

House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) and passed by the House of Representatives.

Runaway spending and deficits continue to grow unabated in part because any attempts to rein them in are relentlessly demagogued by defenders of big government. The latest example is the budget recently authored by Most critics have failed to provide any credible alternative to the House budget. Yet that has not stopped them from relentlessly misrepresenting the House budget with the following myths.

Myth #1: The House budget recklessly cuts taxes by $4 trillion.

Fact: It cancels a future tax increase.

Critics charge that the House budget is not serious about deficit reduction because it includes a $4 trillion tax cut. This is patently false. The budget would keep tax rates at current levels. What critics call a $4 trillion "tax cut" is actually the cancellation of a $4 trillion tax increase that is currently scheduled to go into effect in 2013. Only in Washington is keeping tax rates at current levels considered a reckless tax cut. The House budget would leave tax revenues slightly above their 18 percent of GDP historical average.

Could the U.S. Help Foot the Bill for 'Democratic' Arab Spring?

Democracy, it seems, has a price tag. And now the countries that have been the focus of the "Arab Spring" are asking leaders of the free world to foot the bill.

Officials say that rich countries and international lenders are aiming to provide $40 billion in funding for Arab countries trying to establish free democracies. Tunisia's finance minister said leaders of the Group of Eight industrialized nations floated the figure at a summit in this French resort Friday.

Senators Ask Health Department to Warn States Against Cutting Planned Parenthood

Associated Press | Published May 27, 2011 

WASHINGTON -- Some Democratic senators are asking a top government health official to warn states that if they try to exclude family planning clinics like Planned Parenthood from Medicaid and Title X funding, they'll face penalties from the federal government. 

A group of 30 senators sent a letter Thursday to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. It cites a law recently approved in Indiana that excludes funding to Planned Parenthood. Other states are considering similar laws. 

The senators write that such legislation is "in direct opposition" to congressional intent and contradicts "the spirit and the letter" of existing laws. 

The Department of Health and Human Services did not have a comment on the letter, but the agency is expected to address the issue soon.

Why are people silent as old hatreds rise again?

Old hatreds are once again rearing their ugly head - the new Nazi movement is actually making a comeback. But it's not popping up here in America - it's actually beginning to form in EGYPT. As more and more chants of 'kill the Jews' happen across the Middle East, it becomes more and more shocking that no one is standing up to it.

Chaffetz vs. Sunstein
