Sen. Al Franken: Congress must vote on Libya

Sen. Al Franken (R-MN) said that congressional approval would be needed to authorize continued U.S. military intervention in Libya. "The War Powers Act should be enforced," Franken told Talking Points Memo after giving a speech at Netroots Nation in his home state of Minnesota. "We're going to have to vote." Friday, it was reported that President Barack Obama had overruled two of his senior lawyers, who said that he would need congressional approval under the War Powers Act to take action in Libya. Last week, a bipartisan group of House members filed a lawsuit against Obama for what they saw as a violation of the act. Franken said that though U.S. involvement is ...

The Washington Times caught up with Rep. Jim Clyburn, South Carolina Democrat and Assistant House Minority Leader, on Tuesday and asked if he believed if Boeing broke any labor laws that the National Labor Relations Board cited in their lawsuit against the plane maker. The South Carolina Democrat flat out told us, "No. I don't." Mr. Clyburn is not the first Democrat to come out against this move by the Obama administration. According to Red State, William Gould IV, Bill Clinton's NLRB Chairman is opposes to the lawsuit that interprets Boeing's plant in South Carolina as a retaliatory move against the unions. Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, has ...
Dude, Where’s My Freedom? The government tightens the noose on guns, health, travel, and more. [Full Thread]

Benjamin Franklin once warned Americans that “they who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” Yet in the seemingly unrelated areas of health care and physical security, our political leaders are embracing this folly with predictably bad results. In the realm of health care, the Obama administration is forging ahead to implement its “universal health care” plan, despite consistent popular opposition and numerous legal challenges. They claim they must restrict patients’ freedoms by forcing them to purchase insurance on government terms and restrict doctors’ freedoms by herding them into Accountable Care ...

FBI expands agents’ investigative power (Secret sneak and peek)

Washington • The Federal Bureau of Investigation is giving significant new powers to its roughly 14,000 agents — allowing them more leeway to search databases, go through household trash or use surveillance teams to scrutinize the lives of people who have attracted their attention. The FBI soon plans to issue a new edition of its manual, called the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide, according to an official who has worked on the draft document and several others who have been briefed on its contents. The new rules add to several measures taken over the past decade to give agents more latitude as they search for signs of criminal or terrorist activity. The FBI recently ...

Just when it seemed as if voters’ antipathy toward Congress couldn’t get any worse, a Rasmussen survey reports that the approval rating of Congress has slipped into single digits. It now stands at just 9 percent, tying an all-time low. A lackluster economy, high unemployment, high gas prices, and the ongoing stalemate over raising the federal debt are among the factors contributing to the abysmal ratings. “Congress is totally discredited as an institution,” Democratic pollster and Fox News commentator Doug Schoen tells Newsmax. “I never thought it could go this low. “But given its performance and the economic crisis we are facing, it is not inconceivable ...
Arizona vindicated

Last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision in Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting is a thunderous victory for immigration enforcement and for America's working men and women. Now, let's get down to business. In a 5-3 decision, the Court upheld the Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA), which requires all Arizona employers to use the federal E-Verify program as a screen against hiring illegal workers. It also revokes the business license of any employer found guilty of repeated violations of the law. This decision is a death blow to opponents of E-Verify and gives a green light to states that may have been considering following in Arizona's footsteps. But the reason this decision is ...

Whenever any government in any country is taken over by lawless and power mad traitors they naturally demonize the people and the defenders of individuals freedoms as "terrorists," and "extremists" to divide and rule the nation. This is the case in America today, where armed agents of the state have been brainwashed to be on the lookout for "domestic terrorists" and "right wing extremists" in the guise of groups like the Oath Keepers. The Oath Keepers is a non-partisan, apolitical group of current soldiers, veterans, fire fighters, and police officers who have pledged to honor their oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and disobey ...
In Alabama, a Harsh Bill for Residents Here Illegally

Alabama has passed a sweeping bill to crack down on illegal immigrants that both supporters and opponents call the toughest of its kind in the country, going well beyond a law Arizona passed last year that caused a furor there. The measure was passed by large margins in the Alabama Senate and the House, both Republican-controlled, in votes on Thursday. Governor Robert Bentley, a Republican, is expected to sign the bill into law. “Alabama is now the new No. 1 state for immigration enforcement,” said Kris Kobach, a constitutional lawyer who is secretary of state in Kansas. He has helped write many state bills to curtail illegal immigration, including Alabama’s. “This ...

No great civilization is ever destroyed from without, or conquered by external forces, until it first destroys itself from within. America’s leaders should have thought long and hard about that before voting to extend the Patriot Act last week. Unhappily it’s official. We the People are the enemy. We have dared to prod and examine government policy too closely. We have questioned government leadership when we should rightly have obeyed without challenge. Some of us have exposed wrongful government practices and deceptions, expecting to hold Congress and White House leaders accountable to voters. Foolish us! Last week Congress set the record straight.

Bipartisan Congress rebuffs Obama on Libya mission

Crossing party lines to deliver a stunning rebuke to the commander in chief, the vast majority of the House voted Friday for resolutions telling President Obama he has broken the constitutional chain of authority by committing U.S. troops to the international military mission in Libya. In two votes — on competing resolutions that amounted to legislative lectures of Mr. Obama — Congress escalated the brewing constitutional clash over whether he ignored the founding document’s grant of war powers by sending U.S. troops to aid in enforcing a no-fly zone and naval blockade of Libya. The resolutions were non-binding, and only one of them passed, but taken together, roughly ...
Rand Paul, Supposed Defender Of Civil Liberties, Calls For Jailing People Who Attend ‘Radical Political Speeches’

Libertarian-leaning Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) made headlines last week for single-handedly obstructing the renewal of the Patriot Act, calling the law an unconstitutional infringement on civil liberties. His demand to insert a series of amendments to weaken the law nearly allowed it to lapse and put the country at “risk,” but Paul said it was worth it to prevent the government from continuing to “blatantly ignor[e] the Constitution.” But when Paul went on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s radio show Friday to discuss his opposition to the national security law, he suggested implementing a far more serious infringement on civil liberties. While discussing profiling at ...

High court backs Arizona immigration law that punishes businesses

Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court has backed an Arizona law that punishes businesses hiring illegal immigrants, a law that opponents, including the Obama administration, say steps on traditional federal oversight over immigration matters. The 5-3 ruling Thursday is a victory for supporters of immigration reform on the state level. It was the first high court challenge to a variety of recent state laws cracking down on illegal immigrants, an issue that has become a political lightning rod. The outcome could serve as a judicial warmup for a separate high-profile challenge to a more controversial Arizona immigration reform law working its way through lower courts. That statute would, ...

Tempers flared at the prestigious National Press Club in Washington, DC . A pro Israeli advocate knocked a camera out of the hands of Alison Weir, President of the Council for the National Interest Foundation. The group just finished their press conference on what they call unjustifiable US Aid to Israel. The two sides met when the Press Club scheduled a pro Israeli news conference to follow held in the same room. The altercation illustrates heightened tensions on differing views regarding America's relationship with Israel. The Council for the National Interest Foundation wants Americans to know how much of their tax dollars are going to Israel. CNIF alleges Israel receives so ...

Whether the media establishments want to admit it or not, and believe me they don't, Ron Paul IS the 'front runner' for the republican primary. Despite voracious denials and vitriolic arguments from almost every quarter to the contrary, he is the only one with a chance of shutting out Obama for the presidency in 2012. He appeals to all sides of the aisle, and is attracting the much sought after independent swing vote almost as fast as he has the youth of the nation. The Internet is indisputably Ron Paul country as countless polls and google trends have repeatedly shown. The gradual change in political rhetoric flowing out of Washington, D.C. over the last 3 years reflects an ...

ITLES OF NOBILITY" AND "HONOR" In the winter of 1983, archival research expert David Dodge, and former Baltimore police investigator Tom Dunn, were searching for evidence of government corruption in public records stored in the Belfast Library on the coast of Maine. By chance, they discovered the library's oldest authentic copy of the Constitution of the United States (printed in 1825). Both men were stunned to see this document included a 13th Amendment that no longer appears on current copies of the Constitution. Moreover, after studying the Amendment's language and historical context, they realized the principle intent of this "missing" 13th Amendment ...

It was the day the rapture was supposed to come. The invocation came from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah. Herman Cain chose Olympic Centennial Park in downtown Atlanta to announce his run for president, saying: “I stand in the shadows of my upbringing as the son of a chauffer and domestic worker.” To the 15,000 supporters gathered in the 85-degree sunshine, he said the “skeptics thought no one would show up.” But he wanted to counter speculation that as a dark horse he is in the race only to lobby for a cabinet position in a future Republican administration. Athletes compete for first place and so is he, he told the crowd. Communist China’s economic growth looms, ...

With the nation, his presidency, and the American democracy in shambles, is it not time for Barack Hussein Obama to face reality and spare the nation yet another two years of grief? From out-of -control spending resulting in trillions of dollars added to the deficit,to Marxist programs repulsive to most Americans, to soaring unemployment, to programs that promote class and racial warfare, to complete abandonment of border security and immigration law enforcement, and to inept and naive mismanagement of foreign affairs, Barack Obama has done enough damage to America. Unfortunately, this human wrecking ball with a degree from Harvard and a questionable birth certificate from Hawaii has ...

"It is the responsibility of the patriot to protect his country from its government." ~ Thomas Paine Those who founded this country knew quite well that every citizen must remain vigilant or freedom would be lost. This is the true nature of a patriot – one who sounds the clarion call when the Constitution is under attack. If, on the other hand, the people become sheep-like, it will lead to a government of wolves. This is what we are faced with today as Congress marches in lockstep with the White House to renew the USA Patriot Act. The Patriot Act drove a stake through the heart of the Bill of Rights, violating at least six of the ten original amendments – the First, ...
