"Constitutional expert Judge Andrew Napolitano says he fears that the president is skirting “dangerously close to totalitarianism” with his recent questioning of the authority of the Supreme Court to conduct a review of ObamaCare.

Appearing on Neil Cavuto’s “Your World” show Wednesday, the Judge warned that Obama was systematically flouting the system of checks and balances established by the founding fathers.

“A few months ago he was saying the Congress doesn’t count. The Congress doesn’t mean anything. I am going to rule by decree and by administrative regulation.” Napolitano said.

“Now he’s basically saying the Supreme Court doesn’t count. It doesn’t matter what they think. They can’t review our legislation. That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing.”

“I think he has some problems with understanding the Constitution or accepting limitations on his power.” the Judge added."

This is the first time in American History that ten thousand have gathered to hear a candidate speak."

Big Bad O had that kind of crowd several times, including the Bryce Jordan Center.
Ron Paul has not won a primary, and is pretty-much mathematically eliminated from winning enough delegates to get the GOP nom. He'd be broke if not for Super Pacs.
I watched a recent analysis that wondered aloud why RoPaul draws crowds of college-kids and Libertarians, who then vote for someone else.

"The study, from January, found that for Harvard alums personally involved in a company relocation decision, 57 percent said the decision "involved the possibility of moving existing activities out of the U.S."

Meanwhile, only 9 percent considered moving existing activities from another country into the U.S.

"A U.S.-based respondent was three times as likely to be considering moving business activity out of the U.S. than a non-U.S. respondent was likely to be considering moving an activity into the U.S," writes Professor Michael Porter, the study's author."

Well the effects of having the HIGHEST CORPORATE TAX RATE IN THE WORLD are causing real problems. Obomunism at its finest.

"Crowd Beats, Strips & Robs Tourist On St. Patrick’s Day; Incident Caught On Camera"

The tourist was white, the "crowd" was black. Wonder why the racist Kenyan did not comment on this crime? Oh, the victim did not look like he could be his son.

"After two long-running wars with escalating levels of combat stress, more than 110,000 active-duty Army troops last year were taking prescribed antidepressants, narcotics, sedatives, antipsychotics and anti-anxiety drugs, according to figures recently disclosed to The Times by the U.S. Army surgeon general. Nearly 8% of the active-duty Army is now on sedatives and more than 6% is on antidepressants — an eightfold increase since 2005.

"We have never medicated our troops to the extent we are doing now.... And I don't believe the current increase in suicides and homicides in the military is a coincidence," said Bart Billings, a former military psychologist who hosts an annual conference on combat stress."

Its not just servicemen, its society in general. Today's "psychiatric" drugs have questionable effects and are just as likely to exhibit negative side-effects that are sometimes worse than the treated symptoms.

I think they do way more harm than good, but people are buying into the big pharma $ scam.

"But as of Monday, Obama has hit one more Carter benchmark - both saw gas prices double in their first term of office.

In fact, while just barely, Obama has seen an even higher gas price increase than Carter dealt with under his administration.

Under the Carter administration, gas prices increased by 103.77 percent. Gas prices since Obama took office have risen by 103.79 percent. No other presidents in recent years have struggled as much with soaring oil prices. Under the Reagan administration, gas prices actually dropped 66 percent. When Bill Clinton was president, gas prices grew by roughly 30 percent, and under both Bush presidencies, gas prices rose by 20 percent."

The same wars your Hopey-Changey Kenyan said he was going to stop? The same wars where we still have troops? The same war where 9 US TROOPS HAVE DIED THIS MONTH IN AFGHANISTAN???? Why are we in Afghanistan 10 years after 9/11, the leader of Al Queida is dead???

The ones that Hillary and Bill Clinton said we must fight?

Not a peep out of you or the rest of the Anti war crowd. You were only anti war when Bush was president, now you just mindlessly follow your Kenyan zombie lord.

Meanwhile, gasoline prices that averaged $1.46 per gallon when conservative former-hero George W. Bush took office, peaked at $4.11 per gallon. An increase of 281%.
If we use the lowest weekly price under Bush, $1.06 per gallon, the increase becomes nearly 388%, trough-to-peak.
http://www.thenewsherald.com/articles/2 ... viewmode=2
At the time of the July 2008 price peak (under George W. Bush), Rockpage conservatives were telling me that "gasoline is still cheaper than bottled water," and " oil companies need billions in tax breaks for exploration," and of course, "Bush's past as a Texas oilman has nothing to do with pricing."
Incidentally, boys and girls: The price of crude is falling now, Iran has been shown to be a very minor factor in supplies, and analysts are backing off their politically-motivated statements that gasoline will be $5.00 a gallon this summer.

Turns out, the petro's are just pumping and dumping. Re-regulation of speculators would fix such spikes IMMEDIATELY.
When the price comes down, and the economy is still in recovery, I trust you'll all admit you were wrong. either way, Obama will still be president.

The battle troops are home from Iraq, and have been for quite some time. We can't leave completely, or we'll have a power-vacuum situation, that you would promptly blame our duly-elected president for. Seriously, Huey, if Big Bad O walked over there and bashed every single bad-guys head in with a brick, you'd complain that he should have used a sharp stick.
And why aren't you owning up to being so pro-war at the time? You, and the rest of the Rockpage Trust, bawl-babied about "Islamo-fascism," and posted links to bullshite evidence of WMD's. Why do you never mention George W. Bush anymore, unless it's to congratulate him for "setting up the end of Osama Bin Laden?" (total hilarious bull, by the way) Why do you never mention no-bid contracts for Halliburton and Blackwater? How about the 4500 kids that died for Bush's War For Whatever? Not a word for them, let alone the 25,000 Iraqi nationals we eliminated. Why never a word about the undisclosed bill for the Iraq Debacle, except to blame it on Biggie Baddie O?

Hypocrisy is the currency of conservatism, and you are a radicalized conservative.
Now go away, troll.

Estimates of at least 17,000 ARMED US troops still in Iraq. Try not to get the koolaid on your best part time retail spandex, clown boi.

Notice you ignored the army and special forces in Afghanistan. NINE (9) US troops killed just this month. Silence from the rabid anti war crowd.

Guess those lives and billions are A OK with your Kenyan pouring the koolaid for the zombies.

blah-blah-blah...

By Obamacare, do you mean the Affordable Healthcare Act? "Obamacare" is a talking-point crafted by Frank Luntz, employee of Fox News.
Neil Cavuto is also a NewsCorp employee, no?
Huey, you wouldn't know totalitarianism from Total cereal.
Shall I post video of Neil Cavuto saying Supreme Court judicial activism is BAD, when referring to liberal-leaning activism? You know, typical right-wing hypocrisy?

Drink your tea, dumbass. I don't know where you get your info, but
YOU ARE WRONG.

How's unemployment going for you? You should be done soon, no? Maybe I can pull some strings with my friends, and find you a job at the music store. Your jealousy at my access to your man-crushes is really sad and pathetic. I'm starting to think you were viewing that photo of me in spandex, um, one-handed. That's why you're so obsessed with it. Get over me, dude. I'm straight as hell. With anyone else it would at least be flattering, with you, it's just icky.

I pay more in taxes living on my retirement than you probably make. I know that is hard for someone like you to visualize but there are people who make better than the minimum wage out there. Why don't you just buy some more spandex with the residuals from your 500 songs, "hot boi"?
