Obama in a Skirt

There is no evidence that the United States is pulling out of this recession. Our nation is hurting. And while the country decays, congress is using the uncertainty to usurp power. The staggering deficit it created serves government well.

The rush of spending is a crushing defeat for private enterprise and personal responsibility. The nationalization of the financial institutions reduced the fluidity of capital that underpins freedom, innovation and prosperity. It empowers the federal government by reducing the economic options of future generations.

Trickle down economics has graduated from being a by-product of capitalism, historically defined as class warfare by liberals, to shared responsibility. Of course, the sharing will be controlled by government to level the income disparities created by the industrious and innovative risk takers.

There is no bright light on the horizon. Housing values continue to fall and the unemployment numbers aren’t hopeful. The stock market is in a dither, inflation is mounting, energy prices are growing and there are tremendous pressures on the fissures in our national and fiscal security.

The US immigration polices are anti-worker and anti-taxpayer, and the solutions being offered to stabilize the escalating cost of healthcare are mired in socialist priorities. The production of energy has been relegated to the realm of environmental doomsayers.

Our right of privacy, self-determination, religious expression, wealth accumulation, and control of the curriculum in our local schools is disappearing. And marriage is being ostracized; labeled as an outmoded artifact of religious intolerance.

Moral authority is treated as the disgraced refuge of old fashion constitutionalists. And the guidelines for freedom of expression are being manipulated by a government obsessed with an unflinching quest for absolute power. The relationship between church and state has evolved into a winner-take-all war for the right to define truth.

The judicial branch of government has adopted all the political trappings of the executive and legislative branches. It is being used to substantiate political objectives and bolster the power and prestige of the federal government’s value system.

There is nothing more self-evident about legislation enacted by judicial activists, which is designed and created to limit or extract our constitutional freedoms, than its dependency on moral equivalency.

Without moral absolutes, the judges are free to replace God given rights with their own subjective, moral interpretations. This is why the US Constitution is being battered like a piñata.

The nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court is not a prelude to change. It’s a confirmation that the liberals in government see the Constitution as a barrier to its power. She represents the forces of moral equivalency, the foundation of socialism.

The left can depend on Sotomayor to chip away at the rights and values engraved in the US Constitution. She doesn’t epitomize justice because her only interest is redefining it. That’s why Obama nominated her. That’s why the liberals will confirm her.
