Sotomayor is approved to Supreme Court

I have blogged about this before; but I will write a few lines about it again. As much as I hate repeating myself. 🙄

Voting largely along party lines, the Senate on Thursday confirmed Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the 111th justice of the Supreme Court. She will be the first Hispanic and the third woman to serve on the court.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. was expected to administer the oath of office to Judge Sotomayor, 55, in the next few days, with a formal ceremony likely in September. She succeeds Justice David H. Souter, who retired in June.
Democrats celebrated the successful nomination and relatively smooth confirmation process as a bright spot in a summer when they have been buffeted by several challenges, including rocky progress on their attempts to overhaul the nation’s health care system, President Obama’s falling approval ratings, the climbing unemployment rate and other lingering economic problems.
Shortly after the vote, President Obama said he was “deeply gratified” and confident that Judge Sotomayor would become an outstanding justice. The ideals of “justice, equality, opportunity” that guide the high court are the very ones that made the judge’s “uniquely American story” possible in the first place, the president said.

As I have written here time and again, Elections have consequences and this, again, is one of the consequences of that election. The Republicans chose to run a rather idiotic political campaign through John McCain; one based upon fear and utter stupidity and they lost. They lost in 2006 and then lost horribly again in 2008. This also was the result of the Republican Party’s support of a Wilsonian style of rule for 8 years. This cost them horribly and rightfully so.

I hope that the Republican Party here in the next four to eight years will renounce this idiotic Wilsonian foreign policy nonsense and will develop a sensible approach to foreign policy. There are signs that some within that party are coming out from under the spell of the George W. Bush Wilsonian stupor. I hope that this will continue as time goes on. The encouraging thing is that there are still some Conservatives on the bench and Mrs. Sotomayor is not the only person up there. There are some within Conservative ranks, which act as if she will be the only person in the Supreme Court; of course, that is foolishness. Hence the remark about fear mongering earlier.

Surprisingly there are some Progressive Liberals who do not believe that she is Liberal enough for the court; and likewise, there are some within the Gun Community, who believe that she is too liberal. The Lady cannot win, she is either one or the other, and she cannot be both! (Well, she could, but it would be weird! 😆 )

My feelings are this; time will tell. While I doubt highly that, her approval will drastically change anything in the short run; time will tell in the long run. This should give Conservatives and yes; Republicans pause and cause them to begin to think about the future of America. It should and I do say, Should; give them motivation to get off the stupidity and get back to the Business of saving this wonderful Republic of ours.

A Blogger friend of mine needs help

realme His name is Sammy, He is Jewish.

I razzed him once about something and pissed him off. After a while, I felt like a dick and apologized. After we became friends, I learned much about Sammy, I found out we had much in common.

Anyway, Sammy’s now looking at some hard times right now; I can relate; many can, times are tough. I however, have a safety net of sorts. Sammy does not, he is toughing it out and making due. Job prospects are bad and he might have swallow hard and do the Walmart thing.

If you can head on over to Sammy’s Blog and give a buck or two. Consider it an act of charity to a man, who is not drinking the Kool-Aid.

Living Proof that the Media is trying to protect Obama Update: Document is bogus; Joe Farah is an asshole – Update: Farah Covers his own ass

Update #3: I yanked the video, because now, seeing that Mrs. Tate’s Piece of evidence has now been exposed; why have the video of her acting like an ass? No point so, I pulled it.

Second this little gem from WorldNetDaily:

WASHINGTON – Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly invited WND Editor Joseph Farah on his show tonight to discuss eligibility questions surrounding Barack Obama, then backed out when the guest insisted on sticking to facts and conducting a civil discourse with no shouting.
O’Reilly producer Ron Mitchell contacted Farah Sunday night asking if he could be on the program tonight. Farah replied that he was available and that details could be worked out with his publicist, Maria Sliwa.
In turn, Sliwa presented Mitchell with a short list of criteria for Farah’s appearance:
Though a sober and civil discourse is always welcome, shouting is not;
No other guests on during the segment with Mr. Farah;
Discussion to be limited to the facts of the story;
Accurate, approved description of Mr. Farah and news organization he represents;
Screen ID chyron to be approved by Mr. Farah.
In turn, Mitchell replied that he would have to “discuss his requests with Bill.”
Two hours later, the reply from Mitchell came back: “I’m afraid that is not going to work for us.”
Farah had challenged O’Reilly in a column last week about his assertions that he had investigated the questions involving Obama’s birth certificate and found them to be without merit.
He wrote: “I have a challenge to my old buddy Bill O’Reilly – put up or shut up!
“You told your viewers this week that challenges to Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility are ‘bogus.’
“You claimed you and your news organization examined Obama’s birth certificate last year and found it to be in order.
“Can I ask a question, Bill? Why don’t you simply reveal to your viewers exactly what you saw and what you found?
“Fox News Channel’s slogan is, ‘We report, you decide.’ Why don’t you try actually reporting the story, rather than deciding for us?”
Farah said he was not surprised O’Reilly wouldn’t agree to a civil discourse and a calm discussion of the facts.
“I wanted to shed light on this issue, but evidently O’Reilly only wants ratings heat,” he said.

I do not know about you. But now, it seems that the Main Stream media is now trying to protect Obama on this issue of his Birth Certificate ; and yes this includes Bill O’Reilly. Which does not surprise me, Bill does not like to be told what to do. Needless to say, that the Media is treating this the wrong way. It is going to come back to haunt them; Bill O’Reilly included.

The President can stop all of this madness, he can order the release of the original long form Birth Certificate; and not that damn forgery.

Update: Seems like the little Document that Orly Tate floated to the media is Bogus as hell. She’s a fucking far right wing and yes, I call her a rabid Zionist twit, and Joe Farah is in on it with her. To hell with the both of them! I cannot believe that I fell for that nonsense. 😡

Update #2: Joe Farah NOW says that he had doubts about the whole thing, but still he allowed HIS news organization report. So, As far as I am concerned; Joe’s an asshole and a irresponsible one at that. The funny thing is, that bastard wanted ME to work for him, running at Blog at one point. Ha! Yeah, like I would work for a fabulist writer like him.

Michelle Malkin does “The View”

In all honesty, it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I thought that it would devolve into a swearing and screaming match and that someone would end up with a black eye. I was kind of actually hoping that Michelle would clock Joy Bayhar into the eye or something. I hate that Bitch with a passion. Angry But Alas, it was quite civilized.

Quoting Michelle on the experience:

Just finished up on The View, where I sparred with the ladies about Culture of Corruption.
[……]
Best part: Every single member of the audience got a copy of the book!
Second best part: Whoopi Goldberg, who didn’t read the book, asserting that I called the administration the most corrupt ever in the book when I was on the set — and then waiting for me to leave to falsely assert that “that young lady” said it on the Today Show.
No, I didn’t.
[……]
As I said on the show, my argument is that the Obama administration needs to be held to its own standards and rhetoric — and by that standard, it is one of the most corrupt in recent history — a point I made on the Hannity show last Monday when I launched.
You know you’ve won the argument when the ladies of the View are reduced to arguing how corrupt Team Obama is, and not whether.

Here’s the video: (H/T to AllahPundit)

I have to say that I loved the quip by Michelle; when she referred to Elizabeth is the friendly side of the table. Hee hee I also found it extremely ironic, that the three liberal suck bags; when they saw that they were losing the debate on the Obama Administration, they began bringing up the Bush Administration and the Iraq War. The old classic “We’re losing here, so, let’s change the subject.” Also, About the Iraq war, We won the war and have mostly withdrawn from Bagdad. I wonder what the Iraqi people think about the United States of America just pulling out of that Country and leaving it to chaos. Hello! Does anyone remember Vietnam? Idiots. They are the ones that caused America to lose that war. They see it as a major victory.

Anyhow, It is an enjoyable video to watch, you can buy Michelle’s book, by going here:

Action Alert!: A Baptist Church has a fire, has no insurance

This an action alert for all Christians and Conservatives alike. There is a Baptist Church tonight without a building to call their own. I received this information via e-mail. The pictures are a bit small; but I think everyone should get the message.

It seems that a Baptist Church, that I learned of from Chuck Baldwin‘s website, has suffered a horrible fire.

From the e-mail:

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
The evening of June 30, 2009, the Gateway Anabaptist Church building sustained an electrical fire rendering the complete loss of the contents and use of the current building, but no loss of any lives. Praise the Lord! Firefighters were able to contain the flames to the second floor, but water damaged all other contents – including, tracts, Bibles, books, printers, furniture….
The water-logged pews were taken out immediately and “air-dried” to use for services outside under the “tabernacle”. We will meet here until weather forces us to a rented facility.
As God provides the funds, we will be rebuilding on the same property. God has led us into a building program. We have always stated that we could use more room to facilitate our church family and all the church and printing ministries. Our old facility auditorium was a mere 29’ x 30’ but we hope to build a new full two story building 35’ x 50’ on a concrete pour, on the back corner of our property. We estimate it will cost near $125,000 and in four weeks we have raised $10,300 in gifts so far. Once the new building is done we will then level the old building to make more parking. So, we totally trust God, by faith, to give us a miracle. We know the task is immense, but God is bigger than this “bump in the road”. The enemy meant it for evil, …but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Genesis 50:20

Please note, this Church did not have insurance. Pastor Dan does not believe in registering his Church with the state, because this, he cannot get insurance. So, this Church is depending on God (and possibly his people!) to get them back on tract.

Police State?: Is Virginia State Police targeting Tea Party Protesters?

Just a short story via Linda Gelbhaar on twitter…

Seems the Virginia State Police is now targeting Tea Party Protesters.

A called Blog Tertium Quids has the story:

Another troubling matter regarding Tea Party organizers, Rep. Tom Perriello, Obama administration functionaries and the Virginia State police. Via email:

Danville TEA Party chairman Nigel Coleman said Virginia State Police officers Monday came unannounced to the home of another member of the group to question him about attending a town hall meeting Saturday in Blairs which featured Perriello and two Obama cabinet secretaries.

And this…

Saturday, Coleman, the group’s chair, and other TEA Party leaders were refused an opportunity to ask Perriello a question during the event, and then were instructed by a plainclothes police officer to leave the property when they attempted to display signs urging the congressman to follow the Constitution and oppose Pelosi’s “socialized medicine scheme.” Coleman said he and the others peacefully complied, but were followed to a restaurant by an officer in an unmarked car, who then exited his vehicle, walked over to the activists’ cars, and called in their license plate numbers over the phone.

Go read the rest of this there and let people know about this one. Because if the police are now targeting Tea Party protesters; we have a serious problem.

Remember, no threats, and be polite; just ask them why they are targeting tea party protesters.

Via Politico:

“This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture,” Beck said. “I don’t know what it is.”
[…]
“I’m not saying he doesn’t like white people,” Beck said. “I’m saying he has a problem. He has a — this guy is, I believe, a racist.”

Good going Glenn, Stir the pot some more, please. Liberals already think that we are racists and kooks. Thanks for the contribution. You feckless idiot.

Senate Panel Approves Sotomayor in 13-6 Vote

This was not a big surprise at all. But it is content and that’s what this game is all about. 😀

Via NYT:

WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee voted, 13 to 6, on Tuesday to endorse the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor, easing her path to likely confirmation as the first Hispanic member of the tribunal.
As expected, all 12 Democrats on the judiciary panel voted for Judge Sotomayor. But among the seven Republicans on the committee, only Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina voted in favor.
“She is a restrained, fair and impartial judge,” said Senator Patrick J. Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who heads the committee.
The action sends the nomination to the full Senate, where her confirmation by a comfortable margin seems to be assured.
Republican critics of the judge expressed displeasure with her rulings as a member of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, as well as with some of her public comments. The rulings and comments show that she is a judge is too “activist” and liberal and has too little commitment to the rights of gun owners, the critics complained.
Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the committee’s leading Republican, said just before the vote that he was compelled to oppose the nomination because of the judge’s “liberal, pro-government ideology.”
In an Op-Ed article in USA Today on Monday, Mr. Sessions wrote: “I don’t believe that Judge Sotomayor has the deep-rooted convictions necessary to resist the siren call of judicial activism. She has evoked its mantra too often. As someone who cares deeply about our great heritage of law, I must withhold my consent.”
Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, said Mr. Sessions’ questioning of the nominee had been “sharp but fair.” Still, Mr. Schumer said, he was perplexed that anyone could accuse the nominee of being a liberal activist, since an examination of her record shows her to be a moderate.
Barring some totally unforeseen event or shocking disclosure, confirmation is inevitable, since the Democrats have a 60-to-40 advantage in the Senate, counting two independents who vote with them. Moreover, several Republicans in addition to Mr. Graham have announced that they will vote for her.
Mr. Graham said he supported the nomination, despite early reservations. “I feel good about Judge Sotomayor,” he said, adding he was sure that she would decide cases “based on what she thinks is right” and be an inspiration for young women. The Senate is expected to debate the nomination next week, so Judge Sotomayor is likely to be sworn in as the Supreme Court’s first Hispanic justice (and only its third woman) in time for the start of the high court’s next term, which begins in October.

I am heartened to see Republicans standing on their principles; for a change. I believe if there had been more Republicans in the Senate, that the “Wise Latino” would be been rejected. However, I am well aware that elections have consequences. If any conservatives want to be angry, be angry at Bush for royally screwing up the Republican Party’s holding in both houses of Congress. Before anyone accuses me of having the poorly-named “BDS”, it is a fact, that the Bush Administration made some serious blunders during is tenure and as a result of that the election went the way that it did. This nomination is one of the unfortunate bi-products of that process. The Republican Party should be mindful of this during the next election cycle in 2012, in their choosing of the next Presidential candidate.

Sarah Palin resigns as Governor of Alaska

But first the complete, unedited farewell speech of the now Former Governor of Alaska; Sarah Palin: (Via and Thanks to Conservatives 4 Palin)

Quote:

Gov. Sarah Palin resigned here Sunday with a blast at the media that reflected the frustrations that led her to leave office a year-and-a-half before her term expired. But speaking in a style that her fans see as plain talk and her detractors consider disjointed, she offered almost nothing about what she was planning to do next.
Plainly feeling liberated, Palin said that the freedom of the press was an important American right and one that members of the military died to protect.
“So, how about, in honor of the American soldier, quit making things up,” she said with an insistent voice, prompting loud applause and cheers from a mostly sympathetic audience gathered at a park here.
Palin didn’t specify what she was accusing reporters of making up, but suggested that she was weary of the attention on her family since being tapped as the Republican vice presidential nominee last summer.
“Our new governor has a very nice family, too, so leave his kids alone,” she demanded.
Immediately after Palin’s speech that man, Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, a Republican and Palin ally, was sworn in as the state’s governor.
As she stepped down from the stage, Palin’s future remained a mystery.
Concluding her remarks, she only said: “Let’s all enjoy the ride.”
via Sarah Palin resigns, blasts press, ‘starlets’ – Jonathan Martin – POLITICO.com.

While I will be the first to admit to you, that during the election I was not too impressed with Sarah Palin. I believe Mrs. Palin showed some enormous class. She was not mean or vindictive; she handled her exit with grace and much class. Which is something that is missing today in politics. I wish Mrs. Palin much luck for the future and something tells me that we have not seen the last of her. I believe that Mr. Palin will be a force for good within the G.O.P. for many years to come. She obviously has much star power among the G.O.P base and I believe that she will use that much to her advantage for the next few years. While I do not know if she will ever be a contender for the President race in 2012; because ultimately, that choice is hers, and hers alone. I do believe the she will be someone whom the Liberal elite media and some of the Conservative Elite will have to contend with for many years to come.

All the best Mrs. Palin and please, keep fighting for those of us, who have no voice. 🙂
