    placton wrote a new diary post: Healthcare Ruling: Stealth End to the Commerce Clause

    2012-07-04 09:50:28View | Delete

    Absent from all the commentary on the Obamacare rulings (there were 3 – Roberts, the moderates, and the wing nuts), is the time bomb buried therein.

    I will be voting all 3rd party, except for a token dem, to show they COULD have had my vote for others – my 2 Dem Senators (Levin, Stabenow) are among the worst in Washington

    I read a bio of Ayn Rand not long ago – odious creature, who lived in the cloud-cuckoo land of her novels.

    I am beginning to have the same doubts as many GOOPers – maybe, after all, Obama Is the Antichrist?

    what a surprise it will be when all the progressives DON’T march down the path to Obamaland again – one good suggestion? vote for at least one Dem each election, so the DINO Party knows they COULD have had lots more votes.

    placton wrote a new diary post: the criminal fascist system – part 1: JURIES

    2011-10-07 07:57:03View | Delete

    There is no longer a criminal justice system in this nation.  There are many explantions for this, and this series will examine many of them.  Of course, the branches of goverment do their best to subvert the dream of the Founders, but I want to look at the PEOPLE, first. Juries were established to overcome [...]

    now now – they can only use drones against US citizens if the secret death panel approves it (looks like the goopers were right about Obama’s death panels, eh?)

    May 6 – 2 days after Kent State – Mich State campus on strike, all is peaceful. Printing t-shirts. I see 2 strange characters, clearly not MSU students. Their message” Let’s get violent. It never changes down the years, does it. BTW, we didn’t get violent.

    2011-10-04 04:12:03View | Delete

    House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Monday declared President Obama’s $447 billion jobs package is dead, flatly rejecting Obama’s plea for passage by the end of the month. Cantor said the House would not bring up the president’s American Jobs Act for a vote as a whole, but by the end of the month would [...]

    Obama has, and will continue to be, the death of what little is left of the Democratic Party. One can easly ascribe the growth of the ultra right recently directly to him.
