The president is on tour overseas, staying business apologizing for the country which elected him.   While at the G20 meeting, the president took time to pay homage to the King of Saudi Arabia, bowing deeply to the monarch of the nation which was home to 15 of the 9/11 terrorists.   I've said it before, Obama despises the country he was elected to lead and desires to radically change it.

I've often wondered what it take for conservatives to go beyond mere gripping and actually copy the left and go to the street as a form of protest.    As best I can tell, apparently nothing.  We shall pat ourselves on the back for being good, peaceful and law abiding citizens as we progress to our destruction.

There is one group of people who are in open revolt against the rule of law.   In fact, this group is winning.   They are judges, who are waging war against the democratic republican form of government and the Constitutions of the United States and the several states.  The latest victory of these rebels is the decision of the Iowa Supreme Court to strike down that state' s statute against homosexual marriage.   Since noting in the history of the Federal or any state constitution or the traditions of our people supports such a decision, the Court did what courts do these days: it made up a rationale out of thin air and pronounced it convincing.     The political class does not oppose gay marriage so don't expect any push back from the Iowa governor or legislature.   What has to be done, and I hope one day to see, is the people simply defy these decisions.   If the great mass of the people refuse to yield to the outrages of these black robed tyrants, then they will stop.   Until then, the assault on republican government by the judiciary will continue.

Speaking of judges, a Federal judge has ruled that Taliban captured AND HELD in Afghanistan, has the right to challenge their detention in Federal court.    Think about that for a second.    Enemies of the United States, captured by American troops OVERSEAS and held OVERSEAS, can go to an American court and demand their release.   This is insanity.    It really makes one wonder if the judicial branch of government actually considers itself part of the American government.    I have my doubts.

The Secretary of the Treasury states he will not hesitate to fire executives of banks and replace the boards of directors of these institutions, which have received financial assistance from the Federal government, when the bank is not performing to his standards.  President Obama has already fired the head of General Motors and told some of the bankers that his administration was all that stood between them and pitchforks.   I looked my copy of the constitution in vain for any provision which seems to give the Secretary or the President the authority to ax the executives or boards of private companies.   This administration is claiming power alien to our form of government, with the potential for abuse as we have never seen in our country.

North Korea has successfully lauched an ICBM capable of carrying a nuclear warhead which has the range to strike Japan and even Hawaii.   At virtually the same time President Obama made a speech expressing his intent to work for nuclear disarmament.   It is painfully obvious that Mr. Obama is terribly naivate about what motivates foreign governments and, more importantly, American's enemies.   He projects an image of weakness; we are going to suffer for it.

President Obama gave the Queen of England an I-Pod which contained (among other things) the collected speeches of Barack Obama.  A kind of "greatest hits" collection I suppose.    Really, our president is so egocentric that his arrogance can be funny.    First he gives the British prime minister DVD's which can't be played in England and now this gift to the Queen.   Wonder if he gave a present to the Saudi king?

Obama's tour doesn't include a stop in Israel.   The change of government in Israel brings to power a new realism about dealing with its Palestian neighbors and Iran.   As Obama's foreign policy has little to do with reality, it will soon collide with Israel's interests.   Nothing Obama or his administration has said or done about the Middle East can instill confidence in Israel about the direction of American policy.   Isreal's enemies see Obama as an ally in their war against the Jewish state; I think they are right.

Municipalities are raising taxes. States are raising taxes.  The Federal government will raise taxes.   I've worked for both state and local governments.   I can state without fear of contradiction that no matter how much money a government gets, IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH!    Government is an unthinking giant parasite sucking the life from the economy.    No amount of taxes will ever be enough.  There will always be some new project, some new service, some needed pay raise.   One day, the host of the parasite dies.   Government will never be satisfied.

Legislation has been introduced in Congress to give the President the power to control the Internet, in the vent of an "emergency."   The leftists control the legacy media, want to strangle conservative talk radio with the fairness doctrine, and with this legislation, if it becomes law, and shut down the internet.    Smoke signals are out because the EPA would declare smoke a pollutant.   I guess conservatives will have to return the old practice of oral tradition.
