Maybe we should ask Nazi’s what they think of passover.

Runner Up Comment of the Day
This could be a cloud with a silver lining. The Judge went so over the top in the dishonesty of his jurisprudence that the case is that much easier for the Supreme Court, especially Kennedy, to shoot it down and establish a lasting precedent. Hang in there, his evil can be used to accomplish good.

I have always thought that the Biden routine was set up as a character foil for Obummer. I mean, how can they convince us that 0bama is the smartest cat in the room, unless they fill the room with Bidens?

CNN, One Time News Organization, Celebrates Overturn of Prop 8 from A Gay Bar
CNN, the one time news organization did not report the news of the judicial overturn of Prop. 8 in California. They CELEBRATED the event from a gay bar in West Hollywood. Go here to see the video of this travesty. The first person they interviewed proposed that non-gays be disenfranchised. The ‘reporter’ treated this proposition as unlikely to come about but accepted it as just the kind of bullying intolerance that CNN treats as rational discourse.
The ‘reporter’ felt the need to try to explain away the recent passage of the proposition by the California electorate by implying that maybe that was all because of the evil Orange County (you know they have way whole bunches of, Saints preserve us, Republicans down in that black hole of politics and, apparently, shame). He did mention that the Prop passed 52% to 48% but made no attempt to explain how the evil Orange County could overcome the mathematical impossibility of that wide a margin coming from their vile efforts alone. Could it be that that he is such an Obama sellout that he just assumes that the viewer will think that all needed votes will be filled in by the still-registered-to-vote dead?
Ann Coulter on Anchor Babies and the Constitution
Below are a few quotes from a great column.
The louder liberals talk about some ancient constitutional right, the surer you should be that it was invented in the last few decades.
………
The drafters of the 14th amendment had no intention of conferring citizenship on the children of aliens who happened to be born in the U.S. (For my younger readers, back in those days, people cleaned their own houses and raised their own kids.)
……..
In the 1884 case Elk v. Wilkins, the Supreme Court ruled that the 14th Amendment did not even confer citizenship on Indians -- because they were subject to tribal jurisdiction, not U.S. jurisdiction.
For a hundred years, that was how it stood, with only one case adding the caveat that children born to legal permanent residents of the U.S., gainfully employed, and who were not employed by a foreign government would also be deemed citizens under the 14th Amendment. (United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 1898.)
And then, out of the blue in 1982, Justice Brennan slipped a footnote into his 5-4 opinion in Plyler v. Doe, asserting that "no plausible distinction with respect to Fourteenth Amendment 'jurisdiction' can be drawn between resident aliens whose entry into the United States was lawful, and resident aliens whose entry was unlawful." (Other than the part about one being lawful and the other not.)
Brennan's authority for this lunatic statement was that it appeared in a 1912 book written by Clement L. Bouve. (Yes, the Clement L. Bouve -- the one you've heard so much about over the years.) Bouve was not a senator, not an elected official, certainly not a judge -- just some guy who wrote a book.
So on one hand we have the history, the objective, the author's intent and 100 years of history of the 14th Amendment, which says that the 14th Amendment does not confer citizenship on children born to illegal immigrants.
On the other hand, we have a random outburst by some guy named Clement -- who, I'm guessing, was too cheap to hire an American housekeeper.
Any half-wit, including Clement L. Bouve, could conjure up a raft of such "plausible distinction(s)" before breakfast. Among them: Legal immigrants have been checked for subversive ties, contagious diseases, and have some qualification to be here other than "lives within walking distance."
But most important, Americans have a right to decide, as the people of other countries do, who becomes a citizen.

In the Silverios' munificent new hometown of Stockton, Calif., 70 percent of the 2,300 babies born in 2003 in the San Joaquin General Hospital were anchor babies. As of this month, Stockton is $23 million in the hole.

FaceBook Strikes Again: Palin Places Senator Obama at the Crime Scene
Two quotes from the FB post:
"Barack Obama was part of the problem while in Congress. Senator Obama pushed the fiscally irresponsible measures that Democrats, who held the majority, advanced while holding the government’s purse strings. And now, as President, he’s not just one of the pack anymore as a mere contributor to the problem – he now leads the problem. We are sick and tired of President Obama pointing his finger and screeching through his blame game about what he “inherited.” Up until 18 months ago he was fully engaged in that Congressional herd mentality of the Left as he just went with the flow, adding to the debt and deficit, instead of bucking his party’s leadership to stop the recklessness. (Did you ever hear him as an independent voice standing up and speaking out against his Democrat party’s overspending and over reach? Come to think of it, did you ever hear of his congressional record at all? For the life of me I can’t think of any time he used his bully pulpit as a sitting U.S. Senator to lead free market, equality-respecting pro-private sector efforts, nor to change up actions he now conveniently condemns. He could have refudiated them all.)"
…………….
"We’ll all be feeling the pinch, but the ones who will be hit hardest by this massive tax hike will be America’s small business owners – the businesses that create up to 70% of all jobs in this country. According to a recent report by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, small business owners will pay over half the taxes raised when the Democrats increase the top two tax brackets. In an already anemic jobless recovery, the last thing government should do is to impose even higher tax burdens on job creators. Instead of hurting “the rich,” such measures would end up hurting the unemployed."

Charlie Parker was Kansas City born and bred. He first tried out for Count Basie's band at the age of fifteen. He played in the wrong key and was laughed off the stage. But he went on to do great things before dying at the age of thirty-four.
