An Update
June 30th, 2008 (11:41 am)
Today's entry is from occasional contribution Craig R. Smith. While time may or may not have blunted my edge (after all, you can only maintain a veneer of amused incredulity for so long), every time I think that writing up another entry would be too much trouble, I stumble along some low-hanging fruit. And speaking of fruits (with my apologies to all my gay friends, I sincerely doubt they would want to be associated with this cornball), today's column is a doozy. Let's take a gander and see what's been brewing over at World Net Daily.
Supreme insanity

Once upon a time, in America, if a man stole another man's horse, he would face the hangman at high noon and justifiably so. Stealing is wrong. But now five liberal judges on the Supreme Court find it perfectly acceptable to rape a man's child and face nothing more than life in prison. This is progress?
I agree. Back in the day, child rapists generally got what was coming to them: the agony of a waiting a week or so for a one-day trial followed by an immediate post-judicial hanging. But now? That lucky fucker will get to spend the next 40, 50, even 60 years playing Hide the Salami in a cozy 8' by 10' cell surrounded by murderers, rapists, gang bangers, drug dealers, AIDS patients, lunatics, serial killers, arsonists, and compulsive masterbators. No wonder Craig is upset!
Liberals are insulting anything and everything any reasonable person sees as decent and just. I wonder how much more "progressive" thinking we can tolerate in America before total chaos rules the day.
That is because we are beyond your primitive laws and reasoning, pathetic Earth-man.

I hear over and over again how liberals respect the rule of law yet they seem incredibly comfortable ignoring laws or finding excuses why not to enforce the law. Libs apparently subscribe to the notion that punishment has no value unless it is imposed on Republicans from the Bush administration.
This coming from someone who has just more or less stated that anything less than the death penalty for statutory rape is worthless as a punishment. If gasoline didn't cost so much these days, Craig would be arguing for Exxon-sponsored executions via necklacing.
They are willing to give child rapists, illegal aliens, crack dealers and international financier-fugitives like Marc Rich the benefit of the doubt, but without any evidence, they call for the heads of the Bush administration – unless you consider "hearsay" to be evidence.
Because throwing people into legal black holes, torturing them, shipping them off to other countries to be tortured some more, and detaining them indefinitely without legal rights-- all without evidence-- is something we only do to foreigners. And John Walker Lindh. And Jose Padillia.
Watch any congressional hearings conducted by the newly appointed, Democrat puppets like Jerrold Nadler, John Conyers and the angry Muslim Keith Ellison and you will see where the liberals turn for testimony.
Interesting. Last I checked, Nadler, Conyers, and Keith ooga-booga-scary-black-muslim-man Ellison were all elected to the Congress by a clear majority vote. Unlike, say, some other people we could name.
Recent hearings discussing memos related to "torture" invoke sources like the New York Times, Vanity Fair, the Washington Post and ABC news. The liberals in Congress look to the media for truth instead of reliable, sworn testimony. Democrats quote press accounts as if they came from the Bible.
Because if you want to keep up with current events, the one source you really ought to consult is the Bible.
And so the progress we see coming from the liberal, democratically controlled Congress, headed up by Speaker Pelosi, has done absolutely nothing other than watch gas prices rise from $2.15 a gallon when they took office to more than $4.15 today.
Hmm. Gee. What's this?
Hm. On second thoughts, maybe it really is congress' fault.
Liberals are destroying the nation, and many people are sitting by and watching it happen. When you have five liberal justices afford a rapist life in prison while a jury of 12 calls for the death penalty, they disqualify themselves from being called justices. That is not justice. That is insanity.
No, it's called an independent judiciary and is something you conservative Marie-Antoinette types have historically favored. Because if it weren't for people like them, us middle and working class people would simply vote ourselves into power and then appropriate all your shit for ourselves.
The court is to interpret law not write it or change it. This should be an activist-free court.
Ah, and so it begins again. Watch closely kids, this will be on the mid-term.
(Supreme court) + decision overturning [(voter-imposed) DC gun ban] = model of a flawless judicial proceding.
BUT
(Supreme court) + decision overturning [(voter-imposed) LA capital punishment statute] = judicial activism.
Which in turn may be used to construct the following proof= "judicial activism" is a condition which arises when, regardless of the actual nature of the legal reasoning behind a decision- conservatives disagree with the court. Gnashing of teeth, wailing, and threats of vengeance soon follow.
And as an aside: HOLY SHIT. Conservapedia actually has Brown v. Board of Education listed as a textbook of Judicial Activism and why it is bad!!! This just gets better and better.
KINKY! Not only do we have womb-genocide, but post-abortive paedo-necrophilic acts as well? I wanna be a supreme!

When we have come to a point where terror detainees are afforded "rights" in the American court system while American citizens have to fight to maintain their rights enshrined in the Constitution, it is time to take stock on just what motivates liberals.
If you think he's talking about FISA or Habeas Corpus, you're dead wrong.
They hate this nation, plain and simple. Don't try and sugar coat it or justify it. Don't try and make it politically correct. They hate this country. And with the recent ruling, it is clear they hate children as well.
But-but-but....
Explain to me the justification Ruth Bader Ginsburg, former ACLU attorney, can provide to a family on why she is not willing to defend and protect a child. If her liberal thinking has denigrated to the point where killing children in the womb and raping them after birth doesn't make her burn with disgust, she needs immediate mental health attention.KINKY! Not only do we have womb-genocide, but post-abortive paedo-necrophilic acts as well? I wanna be a supreme!
We have a lot of problems in this country, no doubt – problems that over time we will work through.
Jesus. We have womb-killing baby rapists ruling against teh gunz0rs sitting on the Supreme Court, and yet somehow Craig expects that these are problems that we will just "work through" like an episode of the Jeffersons? Anyone else get the distinct impression that Craig's idea of "working through" the liberal problem involves trains and gas chambers?
Government needs to get off our backs, out of our pockets and away from our children. The court needs to interpret and uphold the Constitution, not write laws. If we take that approach, our future is bright. If not, get ready for your life to be run by folks like Pelosi and Ginsburg.
I have a fantasy that one of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court will retire or die in office, and that Barack will appoint Hillary Clinton to the bench. I might take a day off to avoid slipping on all the exploded heads littering the streets.
That is right up until the point when the patriots stand at the foot of the bridge and draw the line. And that day may be rapidly approaching.
Interventions are a very popular solution to people who are out of control. So we may need a million sane Americans to go to Washington and stage an intervention. They can start at the Capitol and finish at the Supreme Court – only leaving those who defend America, the Constitution and our children.
Interestingly enough, that gun ban the supreme court recently overturned? Right in your nation's capital. Somehow, I think our jolly patriot militiamen are going to be in for one hell of a fight as they attempt to storm the Capitol Building.

That's Right, Cracka! Judicial Activate this mo'fo'!
Put simply ... we can not afford any more liberal progress. If this is progress, I suggest we digress.
fo' shizzle.
Catch you next time!
I really like this one.
