DISQUS

I love the campaign slogan of "I promise to get things undone, and if I can't get things undone, I promise to do nothing at all." If you have any ambitions in running for office, 2010 and 2012 ought to be GREAT years to run against Democrat incumbents. And you won't necessarily have to run as a Republican to do so, either.

Another web site I remember with some great ideas is www.DownsizeDC.com. The "One Subject at a Time" Act, the "Read the Bills" Act, and "Write the Laws" Act even look worthy to be made part of the Constitution.

And when Obama's reign is at an end ("And not short enough it was!" to borrow a quote from Yoda), likely at the end of one term, the next president should subpoena his birth certificate and settle once and for all whether everything he has signed is signed by a legitimately qualified president (in which case we're stuck with the results until they are legislatively undone), or not (in which case they can all be declared null and void, which would be a nice and easy solution).

One other thing to keep in mind with Smoot-Hawley/"Buy American" and the potential for a trade war - that would also increase the risk of a shooting war. There is great truth to the saying that, "When goods and services don't move across borders, armies do."
And as for Obama and the Socialist/Communist Democrats seeking to revive failed policies of the past in order to perpetuate and deepen the crisis, what they are trying to do is increase the party's power. Their only loyalty is to the party, none to the country. There is a great article on BrookesNews.com titled "Are the Democrats a Patriotic Party?" which explains that quite well. The George Soros hard-leftist Democrats are domestic enemies, one kind that enlistees in the military swear an oath to protect the Constitution against. And those malicious, treasonous hard-leftists need to be impeached and removed from office or arrested, put on trial for treason, and upon conviction, promptly executed to prevent a potentially leftist-leaning future president from pardoning them and allowing them to resume inflicting damage on the country ever again.

And I would say to that, "Yes, I am smarter than that Nobel prize winner in this field of knowledge. Just because someone won a Nobel prize in one area does not make him a genius or expert in all areas. He is treading outside his areas of expertise and inside one of mine. Any information must stand on its own validity, not on who says it. And I know more than he does on this subject."

The non-sequiturs employed by Paul Krugman are a favorite tool of the dishonest. An example of the slippery slope logical fallacy. I have seen enough examples of Paul Krugman's articles trying to justify the evils of the state at the expense of liberty and everything good to know that he is usually up to something, and weight his credibility accordingly - his credibility is that of a known liar.

And the hell of it is that it won't make the slightest difference in a $20 trillion wipe-out of the housing market, the losses from which are also wiping out the entire global financial system. Time to get your cash from the bank, while it's still there. The first 10% will get their cash. Those who come after will find to their horror it isn't there.

While we're at it, we should also recall the judicial activist and remove him from the bench, and make judicial activism an impeachable offense for judges. Judges are to interpret the law and make sure it does not conflict with the Constitution, not to make up law on their own.

If the U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe finds himself in the situation again where Zimbabwean government goons threaten them, he should have a cell phone with Vice President Dick Cheney on speed dial. And he should make a very public call to Dick Cheney, telling him so that everyone around him can hear, "Mr. Vice President, I think Zimbabwean government troops are about to perpetrate an act of war against the United States..." I suspect the goons would quickly back down.
