Michelle Obama’s Americorps
To the MyBarack.com Visitors
Communism has never been nor will it ever be . . .
a “POSSIBLE tool for gaining the constitutional FREEDOMS of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for ALL Americans.”
A Capitalistic and Constitutional Energy Plan
From America’s Right:
. . . Henry Waxman and Ed Markey’s cap-and-trade legislation, will drive American jobs overseas as business and industry move to escape an exponentially increased tax and regulatory burden, the American Energy Act will create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, through a focus on building new nuclear and oil drilling facilities from coast to coast, and off the coast as well.
From what I’ve learned, this legislation is exactly what we’ve been yammering on about here at America’s Right since, well, its inception. It truly is an all-of-the-above approach, and should be promoted as just that.
First, it starts with nuclear power. This GOP proposal sets an ambitious but job-rich national goal to construct and bring online 100 new nuclear reactors over the next two decades. Currently, as House Republicans have pointed out in recent days, America is home to 104 nuclear reactors, which provide this nation with 20 percent of its electricity and 73 percent of its carbon-emission-free electricity . . . yet not a single new reactor has been ordered since 1978.

Affirmative Action Heading to the Supreme Court?
So much for “Justice is Blind“…
60% of Sotomayor’s rulings have been over turned which is proof positive, that she is not qualified to hold the highest position in our justice system, that affirmative action is “not” equality for all under the rule of law and that this nominee needs to be derailed and FAST!!!
Take for example this excerpt from the Times interview:
“Even though Article IV of the Constitution says that treaties are the ‘supreme law of the land,’ in most instances they’re not even law,” she said.
That principle, she said, explained the outcome of a high-profile 2008 Supreme Court ruling, Medellin v. Texas, which involved an International Court of Justice ruling that some Mexican inmates on death row in Texas should get new sentencing hearings because the authorities failed to help them get help from the Mexican Consulate, contrary to a treaty the United States had ratified.
But the Supreme Court ruled that the international court’s decision had no legal force and that the treaty was not binding, because Congress never passed a statute explicitly making it domestic law.
. . . read the entire interview for further enlightenment as to her many opinions regarding the law that irrefutably disqualifies her for this lifetime position.
Even I as a lay person knows that treaties do “not” trump the Constitution unless Congress as ratified a law stating otherwise. No wonder her rulings have been overturned so often and no wonder she needed “Affirmative” action to get where she is today.
I do not care the race or color of the person who holds such a high position, the only thing that I do care about is that the most qualified person gets the job. That is the American way and affirmative action is a deterrent in the process and needs to be outlawed.
Former SD Lawmaker Says State Constitution Should Preserve Right To Secret Ballot Voting
KNBN Rapid City:
Former State Legislator Joel Dykstra is working on the “Save Our Secret Ballot- South Dakota Campaign”, to preserve the right of a secret ballot.
(snip)
Dykstra says saving secret ballot voting like this came about because of the Employee Free Choice Act, or the Check Card Bill.
The campaign needs 40,000 signatures to get the issue on the Nov. 2010 election ballot.

“Commander in Thief” Ordered Naval Academy Midshipmen to “Undress” for Graduation
This is “NARCISSISM” in its extreme:
NY Times Inside the Beltway reported on May 21 that:
Graduating midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis are being told in writing to leave at home or in their vehicles all “ceremonial swords” and anything else “that might be considered a weapon or a threat by screeners” for Friday’s outdoor commencement ceremonies featuring an address by President Barack Obama.
Inside the Beltway has obtained the academy’s list of prohibited items for this year’s graduation exercises, which, besides ceremonial swords, includes umbrellas.
I guess he was as sword-shy, he was gun-shy:
How sad and demoralizing for our service men & women. For the 1st time in the Academy’s history, the midshipmen were not be allowed to be in “FULL” dress uniform when they graduated.
Obama is truely the “Commander in Thief”. Maybe his selective service record that has a document locater number from 2008 instead of 1980 has something to do with his disdain for our military.
Finally, A Judge with Some Constitutional Ethics?
A NJ judge is finally taking the eligibility issue seriously:
The federal court in Camden, N,J has granted the defendants (Obama and Congress) a second request for a time extension but wrote a lengthy order reasoning the importance of the case.
Granting the delay indicates the court is taking this case very seriously — as I read the order.
Attorney Mario Apuzzo: “My idea to sue Congress over this matter and the violations of my rights may be the key to getting this issue finally addressed. The judge in New Jersey indicates in his order that this case raises very important constitutional issues.”
You can read the full order at this quick post link.
Action Quote for the Week . . .
“This is about fundamental beliefs and values and ideas … what the role of government should be in our society, and our commitment to the Constitution and constitutional principles. You know, when you add all those things up, the idea that we ought to moderate basically means we ought to fundamentally change our philosophy. I for one am not prepared to do that, and I think most of us aren’t. Most Republicans have a pretty good idea of values, and aren’t eager to have someone come along and say, ‘Well, the only way you can win is if you start to act more like a Democrat.'”

Iraqi Freedom Speech from the US Troops
This video is for Obama, Clinton, and John McCain to see what it is really like in Iraq, that its not as bad as the media portrays and we have a civil duty to help these people of Iraq…
Listen to what John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln have to say about the war in iRaq!
In early January(2008), the Maliki government began consideration of a new law to politically rehabilitate former Baath Party members.[177]
On January 8 Operation Phantom Phoenix began in an attempt to hunt down the remaining 200 al-Qaeda extremists in the province of Diyala following the end of the previous offensive. The operation also included targeting insurgent elements in Salah ad-Din province. The ongoing conflict between Turkey and PKK [180][181][182] intensified on February 21, when Turkey launched a ground attack into the Quandeel Mountains of Northern Iraq. In the nine day long operation, around 10,000 Turkish troops advanced up to 25 km into Northern Iraq. This was the first substantial ground incursion by Turkish forces since 1995.[183][184] Shortly after the incursion began, both the Iraqi cabinet and the Kurdistan regional government condemned Turkey’s actions and called for the immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from the region.[185] Turkish troops withdrew on February 29.[186]
The fifth anniversary of the beginning of the war on 20 March was marked by a speech by George Bush declaring that the surge strategy had been a success and that America was headed for victory. Critics of the war were less optimistic.[187]
Meanwhile the war went on, with American forces targeting al-Qaeda strongholds in Mosul.[188]In late March, the Green Zone in Baghdad came under repeated rocket attack, killing two U.S. government officials and injuring several others.[189] According to General David Petraeus, the attack was the responsibility of Iranian trained insurgents.[190]On a day of increased violence and suicide bombings across Iraq, the death of four soldiers brought the total death toll of American forces, since the beginning of the war, to 4000.
Let not their lives have been lost in vain!
