I'm a little amused that the old fossil and socialist dirt bag Rep. John Dingell from Michigan administered the oath of office. It is almost laughable hearing the words "to defend and protect the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic..." coming from his lips. You are the enemy Mr. Dingleberry; you and the rest the bastards that ran roughshod over the American people. You should all be arrested and tried for treason for betraying your oath.
I can only hope that the 112th congress lives up to its expectations. I'm a little wary of the corrupting influence of the Potomac turds that wash up on that all consuming wasteland. At least there is one fecal matter that won't stain the speakers chair:
Good riddance Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the 111th Congress.
Democrats are having an aneurysm over Republican plans to recite the Constitution on the House floor. It is almost comedic, if not sad, to see the response by the progressives. We conservatives have known for a long time the contempt for which the left has had for our founding documents. They are hiding it no more. Here is an excerpt from the Washington Post:
"They are reading it like a sacred text," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the outgoing chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties, who has studied and memorized the Constitution with Talmudic intensity.
Nadler called the "ritualistic reading" on the floor "total nonsense" and "propaganda" intended to claim the document for Republicans. "You read the Torah, you read the Bible, you build a worship service around it," said Nadler, who argued that the Founders were not "demigods" and that the document's need for amendments to abolish slavery and other injustices showed it was "highly imperfect."
"You are not supposed to worship your constitution. You are supposed to govern your government by it," he said.
I don’t know what constitution Mr. Nadler studied and memorized with Talmudic intensity; it sure wasn’t ours. He governed as though he were part of the European Union instead of the United States of America.
It doesn’t end there; here is an excerpt from that notorious rag, The New York Times:
The empty gestures are officially intended to set a new tone in Washington, to demonstrate — presumably to the Republicans’ Tea Party supporters — that things are about to be done very differently. But it is far from clear what message is being sent by, for instance, reading aloud the nation’s foundational document. Is this group of Republicans really trying to suggest that they care more deeply about the Constitution than anyone else and will follow it more closely?
We are not suggesting it; we are saying it. The moron continues:
In any case, it is a presumptuous and self-righteous act, suggesting that they alone understand the true meaning of a text that the founders wisely left open to generations of reinterpretation. Certainly the Republican leadership is not trying to suggest that African-Americans still be counted as three-fifths of a person.
The founding fathers didn’t intend for you to reinterpret the law of the land any way that you see fit. And as far as slavery is concerned, the genius of our Constitution allows for changes. Slavery was addressed in the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. It’s been 145 years since the civil war. You would’ve thought the editors at this rag would know a little bit more about our history. But why should they pay homage to our past, when they show nothing but contempt for future generations by straddling them with outrageous debt, and burdensome regulations. These elitist scumbags care for nothing but power and they are not about to let a crusty old document get in their way.
Democrats have shown their arrogance and contempt of the opposition party on more than one occasion on the House floor. Does anyone remember Rep. Jack Murtha shoving through a bill that was vociferously opposed in the chamber?
The 111th Congress will be remembered as one of the most imperialist and arrogant congresses in American history. Rep. Buyer is correct. The Democrats were thrown out of power because of their naked use of power.
There is a common trait among the lefties: they never take responsibility for their own actions. Chrissy Tingles blames republicans for Obama's socialist policies? That is rich! Maybe the Svengali force of all those conservatives in the House of Representatives will force Obama to grow a Marxist beard. You don't think it can happen? Why not? He obviously has no control over himself.
Rep. Anthony Weiner strikes again. He threw his ass on the house floor. This time over a bill that the Democrats passed; but somehow it wasn't good enough because only 11 republicans voted for it. The Democrats then rescinded the bill; unheard of in the history of congress as far as I know.
It is all political theater. Anthony Weiner was playing to the cameras. If this bill was that important it shouldn't matter how many republicans voted for it.
I will give Mr. Weiner some kudos. He appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show today; and I've seen him on Fox News. The man isn't scared to defend his position; unlike others in his party.
