I, for one, remember the Alamo because I had occasion to visit the place while in San Antonio a few years ago on a business trip. It was night time and I walked up to the front of the mission alone, crept under the rope and placed my hands against the hallowed walls so that I might touch history. The security guard freaked out, of course, but calmed down when I explained my intention.
From the moment the debate reached the boiling point in December, when I predicted the Democrat majority in the Senate would ultimately pass their version of Obamacare - until shortly thereafter, when I predicted the House would approve its particular version - I continually reminded you that Obamacare will become law and the President will sign the legislation immediately.
In the coming years - assuming the Union survives the greatest challenge to its continued existence since the Civil War - the threat of home-grown terrorism will increase exponentially unless measures are taken to deal with the cultural and religious pestilence known to the civilized world as Islam..."the religion of peace."
I came home this evening to find a comment from D.Eris in "The Stuff That (Democrat) Dreams Are Made Of" thread in which the writer apparently rejects the assertion that there are substantive differences between the Democrat and Republican Parties. It was provocative enough to merit an entire post in response.
Christian or not, most folks have heard the phrase "the Road to Damascus." It comes from the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 9, verses 3 through 19. In that chapter St. Paul tells the story of his conversion from Judaism to Christianity. Long story short: while traveling to Damascus to continue his persecution of Christians, Saul of Tarsus is struck blind by Christ but recovers his sight after three days and converts to Christianity.
Oh, how the could-have-been-mighty have fallen farther than could have been possible had they actually become mighty. And I'm not referring to a certain superhero mouse. I'm referring to a certain former Governor of Alaska who once could have had a meaningful shot at becoming the first female President of this once great republic but has since blown that opportunity for a shot at fame and fortune.
Given the impending worthlessness of United States currency, my first instinct is to say no and say it loudly. I'd sooner have the face of the greatest President of the 20th century chiseled into the side of Mt. Rushmore, where it will endure for ages to come. But the proposal has been made, so let's give it some consideration.
In Part 1 I raised the issue of the case currently being argued before the U.S. Supreme Court involving the firearms ban imposed by Chicago on its residents. In essence, the plaintiffs argue that the ban violates the Second Amendment, claiming that the "privileges and immunities" clause found in the 14th Amendment protects the rights of U.S. citizens to keep and bear arms.
Among educated and informed Americans (i.e., those who did not vote for Barack Obama) there is a surprising lack of attention being payed to a jurisprudential drama that is currently being played out before nine Justices in the hallowed halls of the Supreme Court of the United States.
