and individual liberty

is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it
steadily." --George

It's that bustling time between Thanksgiving and Christmas (Christ's Mass), our nationally recognized and congressionally "established" birthday celebration for Jesus, the sovereign Lord of all mankind. Now is a valuable opportunity to reflect upon our nation's past, present and future (our true past, not the historically revised version propagated by secular-"progressives").
First, for the public school-educated: No, Thanksgiving was not about high-fiving the Indians for corn on the cob. In his 1789 Thanksgiving Day Proclamation, George Washington made abundantly clear exactly Whom America should thank, and why.

Since
being signed into law by President Obama in 2010, the Affordable Care Act,
better known as Obamacare, has been stripped, changed and full of devastating
consequences for the American economy and American families. It's clear by now that the White
House and Democrats who voted for Obamacare, lied to millions of Americans when
they said, "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.
Period." We not only saw President Obama admit during a healthcare
summit in early 2010 (before signing Obamacare) "that between eight
million and nine million people may very well lose the coverage that they have,
because of this...And I don’t think that you can answer the question, in the
positive, to say that people will be able to maintain their coverage, people
will be able to see the doctors they want in the kind of bill that you’re
proposing."
Then
in September of 2010, every single Senate Democrat voted against a resolution
that would allow people to keep their healthcare plans.

Clearly,
Islam has produced the world’s most vile and crazed creatures. From
sexually frustrated misogynists who mutilate female genitals to rabid imams who
sodomize children and behead “infidels” — Islam is a political system that
truly sucks.
Now
comes word from the northern city of Kano, Nigeria that the
“Sharia police” have just destroyed over 240,000 bottles of beer while shouting
“Allah Akbar!”
You
see – under Islamic Law (Sharia) – the ruling Islamic government gets to
micromanage ever single aspect and facet of human life. Whether it be sexual
practices, finances, diet, religion, or simply kicking back and enjoying a beer
— Islam gets the last word. Sick!

A report from the Congressional
Research Service says that it will “likely take several or more years” for the
poverty rates in the United States to fall back to the levels they were before
the last recession.
The
number of people living in poverty in the United States hit a record last year,
according to Census Bureau data cited by CRS, and the poverty rate remained
stuck at its highest level in two decades.
“The
46.5 million persons counted as poor in 2012 is the largest number counted in
the measure’s recorded history, which goes back as far as 1959, and the 2012
poverty rate of 15.0% is the highest seen since 1993,” said CRS
in the report, which was published in November.

Ahead
of her upcoming trip to China, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator
Gina McCarthy told a liberal advocacy group in Washington on Monday that she
has dedicated her life to protecting the environment: "And I really see no greater
issue and no more urgent threat to public health than climate change."
McCarthy
said the goal of her trip is to support the Chinese "in meeting their air
pollution challenges," and she said China has much to learn from the
United States.
"Climate
change is not just a public health and safety issue," McCarthy told the
Center for American Progress. "I consider it to be one of the greatest
economic challenges of our time as well, which is why I'm really looking
forward to the trip and why I was very excited back this summer when President
Obama spoke so eloquently and so comprehensively about the urgency to act on
climate change when he spoke at Georgetown University."

In
a March 2008 column, I criticized pundits' concerns about whether America was
ready for Barack Obama, suggesting that the more important issue was whether
black people could afford Obama. I proposed that we look at it in the context
of a historical tidbit.
In 1947, Jackie Robinson, after signing a contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers organization, broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. He encountered open racist taunts and slurs from fans, opposing team players and even some members of his own team. Despite that, his batting average was nearly .300 in his first year. He led the National League in stolen bases and won the first Rookie of the Year award. There's no sense of justice that requires a player be as good as Robinson in order to have a chance in the major leagues, but the hard fact of the matter is that as the first black player, he had to be.

President's
actions called 'unprecedented power grabs' By Bob Unruh
President
Obama’s three appointments to the National Labor Relations Board last year were
ruled unconstitutional by an appeals court, but the appointees are still in
place as the dispute moves to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Obama’s
recess appointments are unprecedented power grabs, which if left to stand will turn
the constitutional separation of powers on its head,” said Tom Fitton,
president of Judicial Watch, which has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the
case. “Unfortunately, these recess appointments are one of many examples of
this president acting outside of his constitutional authority. We hope the
Supreme Court reminds President Obama that he is not above the law,”
said Fitton, whose organization describes itself as a watchdog on the federal
government. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that
the January 2012 appointments were unconstitutional, because the U.S. Senate was not in
recess at the time.

On Nov. 21, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and other members of the Senate, with the support of President Obama, who apparently lobbied wavering Democrats, broke the rules to change the rules and got rid of the filibuster for presidential nominations. So much for the tradition of debate in the U.S. Senate. The consequences could be dire.

When
Harry Reid was the minority leader in the Senate in 2005 and Republicans were
contemplating such a change, Reid said
the “filibuster was far from a procedural gimmick.” According to the 2005 Reid,
the ability to engage in extended debate was “part of the fabric of this
institution we call the Senate” and “within the vision of the Founding Fathers
of our country. They established a government so that no one person – and no
single party – could have total control.”

OBAMA:
I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.
BIDEN: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 7.8%.
OBAMA: That many people are out of work?
BIDEN: No, that's 14.7%
OBAMA: You just said 7.8%.
BIDEN: 7.8% Unemployed.
