I have added a new page to the main navigation bar above. This page is a list of articles that show what a totalitarian police state the U.S. has become. As of this afternoon, all links are working (but I wonder how long that’s going to last!). Here is the page: USSA Amerika

Yesterday, Diane Rehm described this campaign season as “bizarre.” Nooo, really?

I heard someone on the radio say that Newt Gingrich promised to “ignore” the Supreme Court in its decisions protecting the rights of terrorism suspects. (I have addressed that here.) And sure enough, here is an article on that. Well, then what good is the Supreme Court anyway? Or the Constitution, for that matter. Gingrich wants to be the dictator that Bush and Obama have been, with the power to deem someone a “terrorist” or an “enemy combatant” and make their inalienable rights alienable. Some people are just ignorant of the importance of presumption of innocence and due process.

But while Gingirch believes in the authoritarian, dictatorial, top-down power to ignore the high court and do whatever he want and screw the rule of law and our rights, I also believe in the right to ignore the Supreme Court, but in a bottom-up fashion, along the lines of “nullification,” that adheres to the rule of law and protection of our rights. If the federal government’s decisions by Congress, the President or the Supreme Court are clearly extensions of State power and in violation of an individual’s right to be “secure in one’s person, property, and effects,” then people have a God-given right to ignore those decisions.

For example, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 to allow police to break into someone’s home without a warrant. And the Indiana state supreme court decided that an individual may not protect oneself from unlawful breaking-and-entering by police. Listen, if you know that you have done nothing wrong and have harmed no one, and you are in fear of your life as someone is breaking into your home, it doesn’t matter who it is, police or not, you have a right to protect your life and that of your family.

You see, statist authoritarians such as Nut Gingrich believe in the power of the State to intrude, invade, violate, break into, beat up, incarcerate, torture, kidnap, and murder innocent civilians without cause, without evidence, without provocation, without any legitimate reason except that those who have the guns and the badges and those with the officialdom of the State just want to do it.

______________________________

In this Politico article about Newt Gingrich schmoozing with the Press, it notes how opposite of that Willard Romney is, to the point that Romney’s handlers won’t let him talk to the Press or to voters he is greeting “off the record,” or at least certainly not for longer than two seconds. This is understandable, given Willard’s testiness when questioned by a voter about how he as a member of the 1% Club would be supportive or helpful to the remaining 99% of us schleps. And it is understandable given how thin-skinned he is, especially with news anchors asking his royalness tough but legitimate questions, such as when Bret Baier asked Willard about his continuing support of insurance mandates, and Willard then commented that such questioning was “overly aggressive,” and “uncalled for.”

Romney really doesn’t want the voters to know anything about him. That is why he had his gubernatorial staff delete all the files from their tax-funded state government computers when he was leaving as governor of Massachusetts. He is just like Obama, although Obama’s handlers included the entire mainstream media who kept the public in the dark about Obama’s associations with a self-admitted terrorist bomber-murder named Bill Ayers, or his 20-year association with an anti-Semite minister names Rev. Wright. But given how much in sync Romney is with Obama in his views on global warming, the War on Terror and the War on Drugs, indefinite detention without due process, government-managed unhealthy-care and mandates, I’m sure that the Press will help to cover up controversial things about Romney as well, if he is able to steal the Repukelican nomination (from Ron Paul, a theft which the Press is aiding and abetting, on behalf of either Romney or Gingrich who the Press knows won’t beat Obama in November).

Anyway, like Gingrich, Willard also does not support the concept of inalienable rights and presumption of innocence, and said he also would have signed the Obama-McCain-Levin law to indefinitely detain innocent civilians at the whim of the President, a military commander or other armed police-criminal or soldier, without evidence provided against the accused. Talk about “uncalled for.”

Someone on the radio said that Newt Gingrich and Rick Sanitorium are old friends, going back to Rick’s days in the House of Reprobates. Hmmm. That made me think about the possibility of Santorum being in the campaign on behalf of Gingrich in order to help sink Romney. Could it be possible that Santorum is a straw candidate? Probably not, especially given that Santorum has been going after Gingrich’s record just recently. Be we know how power hungry Gingrich is. He’s a good actor, and has been putting on some pretty good performances on stage in order to manipulate voters’ emotions. In Massachusetts, it was suggested that then-state treasurer Tim Cahill was a straw to take Democrat votes away from Gov. Deval Patrick, but he really took anti-Deval Patrick votes away from Repukelican Charlie Baker. But was that on purpose, on behalf of Deval Patrick? Probably, because incumbents really don’t like losing power. And with Gingrich and Willard Romney we can see just how power-mad some people are.

Another conspiracy theory that was suggested, I think by a caller to Jed Babbin on Michael Savage’s show, was that ABC’s Brian Ross was in cahoots with CNN’s John King to set up the Marianne Gingrich interview just before the South Carolina debate and for King to ask Gingrich about to start the debate, to help propel Gingrich to the nomination by giving him a platform on which to spew his acting abilities and give the media a good verbal spanking to manipulate conservative voters’ emotions. The media want Gingrich (or Romney, for that matter) to be the nominee because they know that they can’t beat Obama in the general election. (That is, if the dictator Obama doesn’t cancel the election.)

Speaking of Massachusetts Gov. “Cadillac Deval” Patrick, this morning on WRKO, Todd and his assistant were discussing Patrick’s “State of the State” address last night, and one of them noted that Patrick is clearly getting ready to run for president.

I hope they meant president of Russia, as long he gets the hell out of Massachusetts. Jeepers.

And on “Talk 1200,” Jeff Katz interviewed former Congressional candidate Bill Hudak who said he is delaying his next run until 2014. Hudak was talking about left-leaning Republicans who are “Democrats in Republican clothing,” and that he won’t support their candidacies, including the Republican who wants to run against the corrupt U.S. Rep. John Tierney.

And then Hudak goes on to say that everyone should all get behind … Scott Brown. (LOL!)
