Time For a Cool Change

What to say about Judge Sotomayor? President Obama had his choice of activist liberal judges who would be easier to confirm and would be more than happy to dance on the Constitution than Judge Sotomayor. None have made comments as radical and discriminatory as her remark that the circuit courts "make policy" and "make law," and her praise of the "wise Latina" as wiser than the average white guy. Her hearings should focus like a laser on her disregard for the Constitution throughout a long legal history.

In the bigger scheme of things, now the conversation is all about a mediocre nominee, racist liberal who replaces a milquetoast liberal on the bench. It is an important appointment for Americans because if Soto is confirmed, we have accepted the living, breathing Constitution. It is an important appointment for the President because she placates Hispanic supporters ignored till now, throws a little red meat to the ultra left and provides yet another diversion for the radicals in the Obama administration to continue the war of change.

Look now, no one is talking about the economy. In fact, some are wowed that the markets are up and consumers are more confident than ever! That may be but the rest of the world is talking about the US losing its Triple A bond rating while gas prices rise and the President plans a takeover of the healthcare (healthcare reform) and energy systems (cap and tax to protect us from global warming, I mean man-made climate change, I mean that evil pollutant CO2). While all this is happening many are brushing off the North Korean (NK) nuclear blast and three missile tests (as of this hour) as more noise from that annoying guy with the bad hair who will always have nuclear aspirations but who is all bluster. Pay no attention to the fact that the NKs are partnered with Iran in pursuit of nuclear ambition, that Iranians are in NK to observe all these tests (and likely supporting NK financially), and that the NKs advised the Syrians in construction of a nuclear reactor destroyed by Israel earlier this year.

Thoughtful people might not only be concerned by these activities but would question who is behind the curtain pulling these strings? It is likely the puppeteers for this show include the Chinese (certainly as far as NK is concerned) and possibly the Russians (engaged with the Iranians and Iran’s other “bestest” friend, Venezuela).

Our fearless leader’s response has been to ignore that phone ringing at 3AM the last two mornings and to call the UN…after he changes his rubber pants in the morning. Offer more concessions, issue the standard “grave concern” message, get to the gym…check….what a way to start a day.

The chaos that has evolved since this Administration took office is astounding. It may be proven to be the result of the incredible ineptitude of the keystone cops we elected, but some of this chaos, perhaps all of it, has been courted by the Obama administration. Telling us we are out of money in one breath this weekend and stating it is a result of our failure to fix healthcare in the next is pure prevarication. Memo to the President…you cannot add $11 trillion to the national debt and expect the presses at the Federal Reserve not to burn out. Healthcare requires attention, not the attention you prescribe by the way, but it is not the reason the world is talking about downgrading us as an economic investment.

Chaos clearly reigns. I love the smell of chaos, it smells like…“change.”

Joe Biden, rarely truthful, always entertaining, was right.

Gird your loins people.
