The labor practice of using force to compel the use of union labor was outlawed by the Hobbs Act in 1951. The Hobbs Act was vitiated by 1973's Emmonsdecision, where unions were authorized to use violence to achieve "legitimate" objectives.
Estase thought the reason we had laws was to prevent people from using coercion to take from others. Instead, what Justice Marshall did was institutionalize violence. Congress needs to make it clear that murder is not a bargaining tool.

A Weird Thought
Doesn't Theresa Russell look kind of like Ray Liotta through the eyes? Or am I nuts?

Does Obama Hate Israel?
Obama memoir Dreams of my Father ghost writer Bill Ayers has just signed a petition against the state of Israel, comparing the Jewish state to South Africa. The details can be found at www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=120486. Maybe this attitude from a top Obama confidant explains why Iran is allowed to do whatever it wants to dissidents, while U.S. pressure keeps Israel from construction on the West Bank.

Soros and the Paternity Ringleader
Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good has joined forces with the paternity test maven! Yes, they have co-sponsored an event on teen pregnancy where Maury Povich is the featured speaker. Anyone who has ever watched Mr. Povich's show would wonder what makes him an expert on sexual morality, and it is anyone's guess what Povich has to do with a "Consistent Life Ethic." By the way, does this mean I have an "Inconsistent Life Ethic?" CACG is a front organization funded by socialist billionaire George Soros.
Allah By the Bay
If liberals stomped on a flag that said "God," would it surprise anyone? Would any sane person call such an act racist? Would any college, particularly any public university, have an objection? If College Democrats did this, would they be forced to disband?
San Francisco State University denounced its College Republicans for religious intolerance because of a rally where Hamas and Hezbollah flags were stomped on in 2007. (Stupid fascists: of course they should have known the Arabic script on the flags read "Allah!")

Congressional Reform
"In effect, to follow, not to force the public inclination; to give a direction, a form, a technical dress, and a specific sanction, to the general sense of the community, is the true end of legislature."

The Myth of Pro-Life Democrats
If you are pro-life and run for office, do yourself and the voters a favor. Run as a Republican. I don't care if economically/fiscally you are a socialist. Run as a Republican. Ben Nelson demonstrated that there is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat, because when the chips are down, they care more about their party affiliation than they do about being pro-life. I will never again trust any Democrat to be anything but a meretritious pig. I have not been crazy about Democrats since they started referring to people alarmed by out-of-control spending by a term denoting oral sex practitioners. So all you Democrats are now, in my mind, identified as an obscene term much like the one you apply to me.

Franken and Jesse Ventura
Our constitution calls for a Senate where lawyers debate laws, not where a third rate comedian shouts down Joe Lieberman. I love the fact that Salon's Joan Walsh thinks this is a proud moment for Franken. The only reason Franken is in the Senate is because Minnesota is stupid. If you do not believe me, check out an episode of former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura's new show "Conspiracy Theory" on TruTV. What a moment of glory for the Left!

It Is What You Make It!
"The glorious uncertainty of the law was a thing well known and complained of, by all ignorant people, but all learned gentlemen considered it as its greatest excellency."

Deer and Democrats
Obama is threatening to close Offutt Air Force Base if Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson doesn't sign on to abortion in the Health Care Reform Bill. New low for Oh Blah Blah.
Illinois Democrats want you to hit a deer! They increased the cost of a hunting license, just as deer overpopulation already means too few hunters are in the field. This, incidentally, will do nothing to compensate for the state's rampant overspending which began under Rod Blagojevich, the Obama of Illinois politics.

Freebird Logic
I chose to logically analyze the classic rock anthem "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Reason one-I'm as free as a bird now.
Reason one is a precondition for the next reason.
Reason two- If I stayed here with you girl, things just wouldn't be the same.
Reason three- There's too many places I've gotta see.
Conclusion- I must be travelin' on now.
This makes more logical sense than the average newspaper opinion piece anymore

Senator Landrieu
"When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people."

On and On They Go
I've been thinking it over
So many times they say you've got it made
They never understand the answer lies within your soul
'Cause nobody knows which way the coin will fall, or not at all
Big wheels turnin'
Save it for a rainy day
For when the cold wind blows to see how they run
I thought they'd know
I tried my best, all I could do
But somehow it was not enough for you
Big wheels turnin'
Refrain
I remember the days and nights
A lonely light that shines upon the window
I see it all so clear, the tenderness, the silent tears
Out there in the pourin' rain
Through cold dark winter's days I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending
On and on they go
I think I'm going home
Think I'm gonna have to start again
It's rather sad
I looked around
Can't seem to find
Whatever's always rolling through my mind
Refrain repeated
"Big Wheels" by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra

Can We Admit a Mistake?
Hey, the first stimulus worked so well, why not do another?
The Fairness Doctrine
"Whensoever a government thinks fit to concern itself with men's opinions, and by its absolute authority impose any particular belief, there is none perhaps so ridiculous or monstrous in which it needs doubt of having good success(p220)."

The Catholic Key Blog: Rep. George Miller Says Stupak Will Die in Final Bill - He'll Help
Is this the same George Miller who calls Republicans "fascists?" I think it is! Who was under the delusion that abortion wouldn't be covered in Obamacare? Other than Cardinal Martino.

That Crowd
A blog on Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good's website questioned Archbishop Dolan's support for the pro-life Manhattan Declaration, asking what a church that believed in "social justice" is doing with "that crowd." "That crowd," apparently being those who do not see Catholicism as a pretext for socialism and abortion.
Why Systematizers Are Wrong, Part Four
"I do not villify theory and speculation--no, because that would be to villify reason itself. Neque decipitur ratio, neque decipit unquam.[Reason is not decieved, nor does it ever decieve.] No; whenever I speak against theory, I mean always a weak, erroneous, fallacious, unfounded or imperfect theory; and one of the ways of discovering, that it is a false theory, is by comparing it with practice. This is the true touchstone of all theories, which regard man and the affairs of men--does it suit his nature in general;--does it suit his nature as modified by his habits?"
