IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-----
“We the People”
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."Categories

The Great White Hunter…
It’s tough not to make every post about this President lately. As we approach the heart of Election 2012 it will get worse. It doesn’t help that every time he opens his mouth he provides yet another opportunity for those like me to read between the “Obama lines” without care for his manufactured political prowess, and report his true motivations.
The POTUS spoke of President Roosevelt today. No, the other one. Teddy Roosevelt was indeed an antagonist of big business in his day. However, comparing his politics to that of today and to those of the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, is like comparing apples and squash. It is true TR did not like the notion of an all-encompassing monopoly with the power to exploit an entire workforce. And while he was pretty much a “fat cat” himself, his forthright honesty and initiative were instrumental in bringing about historic regulatory measures to make sure that would not happen in the future. But that was a very long time ago and the United States of 2011 looks absolutely nothing like that of the very early 20th century. And though TR espoused a role for the federal government, he would have been appalled by the all-in, entitled, lazy, un-American and in your face approach of the Progressive Left today. Roosevelt’s so called “Progressivism” was universal and a product of his time. It was born of betterment not dependency and exclusive to the conundrums of the day. Barack Obama’s attempt to parallel his own class warfare agenda against that of TR’s is laughable and smacks of a desperate politician fighting for his political life. Disingenuous, disgraceful and dangerous come to mind as well…
Rhode Island’s Governor Scrooge…
He kinda looks like Scrooge…
I am always a little hesitant to write about my home state of Rhode Island. There are just so many topics of “disgust”. I say this with some angst because I could never leave the most beautiful state in the lower 48. It is simply our politics which continue to stink up the place…
Most recently, this was reflected in our illustrious Governor’s decision to call a Christmas tree, trimmed in the rotunda of our beautiful and historically significant state house, a “Holiday tree” instead. Now there are the obvious and national implications of this story which are being framed by the Christian faithful as attacks on Christianity, and I would not disagree with those analogies. However, the problem is the press are already beating that to death culminating with an O’Reilly exclusive which I will be sure and catch tonight. On the other hand, I have a slightly different take on Lincoln Chafee’s “angle” regarding the State House “Christmas Tree”.
For starters the Governor’s attempt to explain away his hypocrisy by invoking the non-existent “separation of church and state” thing goes down the toilet as the entire circumference of every floor surrounding the rotunda proper is traditionally adorned with the holiday decorations of many faiths and cultures, so why not Christmas? I know this because I usually attend the lighting ceremony, and I’m always interested to view all the awesome displays. Additionally, the observing of “Advent” and the Christmas holiday season has been a cultural mainstay in Rhode Island for generations and is deeply rooted in its earliest beginnings. The lighting of the tree has come to symbolize the peace and love associated with the entire season.
Now let’s talk about Lincoln Chafee the man. In the simplest possible terms, he is not his dad nor will he ever be remembered in the same light as the iconic John Chafee, revered Senator and former Governor of Rhode Island. In fact the history books will show Lincoln Chafee’s indecision and political opportunism as significant reasons for him having lost his fathers beloved Senate seat to the current Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. Chafee the son possesses neither the political gravitas nor the depth of thinking his dad did, and instead has elected to grab hold of and attach himself to any and all controversial headlines to cement any sort of legacy. Even his election as Governor was notable only for the votes he did not receive as opposed to those he did.
So in the end, Rhode Island receives yet another black eye at the hands of an opportunistic “wanna be” with something to prove. Another controversy finds a home in the smallest political cesspool in the country. And another four-year term will pass while Rhode Island sinks further and further into the abyss of economic and social decay. Man I still love this place…
WARNING: RIGHT WING RANT BELOW!
P.S. Is it possible to find a more opportunistic revisionist than John Stewart. What pains me most about this idiot is that folks actually look to him for journalistic insight. “God”, yes I said “God”, please help our country!
