It's Called 'Marbury v. Madison'

Dear Mr. President,

 Supposedly, you are some sort of constitutional scholar. At the very least, you can read, you can write, and despite being merely some sort of guest lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, you once famously referred to yourself as a “Constitutional Law professor.”

Ringing a bell so far, Mr. President? Great.

Obama’s War on Families

And even as gas prices continue to rise......

It’s been apparent since the 2008 campaign that the Obama administration would be hostile towards coal. Based on the numbers from this article, it’s apparent that this administration is ideologically driven to cripple family budgets as a way of forcing green technology down the throats of America.

“Renewable” energy such as Solyndra-style projects, along with energy efficiency, is slated to spend $2.33 billion. There’s much, much more hidden away in corners of the budget. For example, the “Recovery Act” included a whopping $16.8 billion for the DOE office handling energy efficiency and renewables.

White House bias against the coal industry is even more apparent when you look at past federal budgets. Funding for coal technology is being trimmed down, slowly but surely. The amount provided for the current year is less than in any year since 2005. In fact, in FY 2010, the DOE received $404 million for coal projects.

The numbers highlight Obama obvious misplaced priorities. This administration will stumble all over itself in their attempt to fund failing companies based on questionable technologies but they'll cut off research grants for improving proven, reliable, energy sources.

That’s bad enough. This information indicates that it’s worse than the statistics indicate:

"During the administration of former President George W. Bush, it was a priority to help the utility industry find cleaner ways to burn coal. Then, the DOE touted a $1 billion Clean Coal Power Initiative. The Obama administration’s plan is to spend not one dime on it this year. Nothing."

"Not to worry, insists Obama. His energy plan won’t inflict serious damage on Americans’ budgets."

Why is this administration driving up electricity prices while subsidizing failing technologies while crippling reliable energy sources?

 We aren’t cleaning the planet either. While this administration cuts coal production, other countries are increasing their use of coal-fired power plants. The only thing that’s changed dramatically is Americans’ utility bills. Obama’s spin is that he's for an all-of-the-above energy policy. In reality, his crippling of the oil and coal industries indicates that he supports a none-of-the-above energy policy.

He couldn’t put together a more destructive energy policy for families if he tried.

Quote of the Week

On the Liberals' Supreme Court Shock:

"The panicked reception in the mainstream media of the three-day Supreme Court health-care marathon is a delightful reminder of the nearly impenetrable parochialism of American liberals. They're so convinced of their own correctness — and so determined to believe conservatives are either a) corrupt, b) stupid or c) deluded — that they find themselves repeatedly astonished to discover conservatives are in fact capable of a) advancing and defending their own powerful arguments, b) effectively countering weak liberal arguments and c) exposing the soft underbelly of liberal self-satisfaction as they do so."

"That's what happened this week. There appears to be no question in the mind of anyone who read the transcripts or listened to the oral arguments that the conservative lawyers and justices made mincemeat out of the Obama administration's advocates and the liberal members of the court." — John Podhoretz, Commentary Magazine Editor and Former New York Post Editorial-Page Editor

MLK Niece: Stop Playing The Race Card

With the race-baiting twins in full action mode, MLK's niece calls on Jessie Jackson and

Al Sharpton to STFU till the full investigation is complete.  

Rev. Al has broken out the tropical suits and the high-humidity
hair treatments and grabbed his bullhorn.

Daily Caller - "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece is criticizing the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson for politicizing the Trayvon Martin shooting and leveraging racial tensions to rile up Americans.

Conservative activist Dr. Alveda King, now the director of African-American outreach at Priests for Life and the founder of King For America, said she hopes Sharpton and Jackson stop “stirring up the people without positive solutions” in Sanford, Fla., and elsewhere in the U.S.

“I would believe that, by stirring up all of the emotions and reactions, I wanted to encourage them to remember the man that they say that they followed, to remember that his message was nonviolence and very loving,” King told The Daily Caller, referencing her late uncle. She added that she wanted to encourage Jackson and Sharpton “to talk about nonviolence and not to incite people with that race card that they are very good at playing."

“Nonviolence was a very important part of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr,” she added. “So, we want to encourage people to be nonviolent in their responses, to be thorough in their research and that justice must be done…We want justice to come, but we want nonviolent responses to this really tragic and terrible incident.”...Read more here......
