In a frightening harbinger of bad news which would consume America in 2012, the allegedly “conservative” Supreme Court of the United States, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, ruled 5-4 in favor of the Constitutionality of Obamacare, ridiculously titled the Affordable Care Act.

One of the questions I have concerns forgiveness. Forgiveness is the act of excusing a mistake or offense. Simple, don’t you think?

President Obama doesn’t like leaks and he doesn’t like scandals. In recent weeks he’s had plenty of both. We should not be surprised, then, that the Administration is once again using its government apparatus the “Chicago way” to stifle whistleblowers. It’s most recent victim: Aurelia Fedenisn.

That was the phrase that was used by many Mafia thugs when they were questioned by authorities about their criminal activities. Well, it seems like the Obama Chicago thugs have adopted that phrase when they are questioned by the various Congressional committees.

I caught Sarah Palin on Fox & Friends Monday. Wow, talk about a breath of fresh air. While listening to Palin speak on various issues and Obama’s scandals, something occurred to me. Palin on TV fills a desperately needed void. Palin communicates in plain English, free of the usual guarded TV political speak. Palin fearlessly nailed Obama and company with the truth.

With tens of millions of Americans under or unemployed, millions more fighting to save their homes and hopes for retirement, one would expect those who profess to be for the “little guy” to be more circumspect when traveling at taxpayer expense.
{paginate} {/paginate} The Founders didn’t quite anticipate the imperial bureaucracyBy Dan Calabrese Tuesday, June 18, 2013
First of all, I wish someone could explain to me how Beltway conventional wisdom declares a shallow hack like Ezra Klein “bright,” but doesn’t recognize the real brainpower in Jay Cost. If you read the Weekly Standard at all, you know Cost for being thorough, analytical and always honest in his assessments. And as we see here, he does his homework and knows his history. Cost has done a really excellent piece that spells out one of the biggest problems facing the citizens of this nation - the fact that a gigantic bureaucracy the Founders could never have anticipated, and really designed no mechanism for reining in, has become such a power unto itself.
