Judicial tyrany in WIsconson!

Seems that in their rush to strip the unions, the Wisconsin Republicans didn't dot every i and cross every t. A Republican appointed judge has told them to go back and do it again. Freepers, never ones to take well when the judiciary rules against them, basically lose their shit:

fluffdaddy thinks the governor should short-circuit separation of powers. Cause that will play super well:

Governor Walker should thank the judge for her advice about the law and announce that he won't be following it. As the head of the executive branch he has to determine for himself what laws he is responsible for executing. The judiciary can't resolve that question for him. Judges can't make him accept their views any more than he can force them to accept his views on proper criminal procedure. Just tell the courts to pound sand and get back to enforcing the law.

What are the Dems going to do about it? Impeach him? NBL. Recall him? Not for a full year. Beat him next time? Maybe, but don't bet on it.

Cheerio blames higher education for judges ending America or something:

When libs lose an election what is the first thing they do? Run to the men in black. END OF AMERICA. This is what the indoctrination by our higher ed system has done to this country. An entire two generations have been brainwashed.

rcrngroup takes it straight to the judge:

Just from the look of that ugly mean-looking bad-ass beeeotch & you knew that this judge would rule against. One frikkin county judge can stop the entire state of WI and those who voted for Walker & the Repubs?

I hope that Walker issues a firm rebuttal, declaring the judge’s ruling to be null & void, and therefore unenforceable. And Walker needs to start laying off gubmint workers AND if necessary, lock up the demoRATs in the state senate chambers for 24 hours and then pass the law again.

RAT BASTARD DEMORATS.... I HATE ‘EM!

MichaelP thinks this is all by design:

You just knew something was going to happen to prevent this law from taking effect...

Frigging judges...

Yeah, Republicans never win anything these days.

RWAubrey endorses rampant pettiness:

Seems like the Governor has no choice but to starting cutting budgets including say a 25% reduction in the salaries of state judges.

relictele is totally a victim:

Remember kids:

Judges’ rulings favoring GOP: ignored, challenged and/or take years to implement. Portrayed as ‘judicial activism’ and ‘outside the mainstream.’

Judges rulings favoring liberals: historic, courageous, law of the land to be instantaneously implemented and obeyed.

Clioman really wants people he doesn't like to lose their jobs for no real reason:

I say why can’t we have BOTH: Layoffs AND a new bill...sounds right.

Antoninus laments how there is a double standard between apples and oranges:

This is how things work now. When a law is passed that hurts the left, it is tied up in the courts forever and nothing gets done.

When a law is passed that hurts America, even if a judge knocks it down, the leftists in the bureaucracy plow ahead with it anyway. See ObamaCare.

Our system is truly broken. God only knows what it will take to fix it.

Monday potpourri.

Jo Nuvark thinks the US is basically China:

CHINA’S RULES

[... You may work @ your assigned gov. job.
You may sleep @ your assigned hovel.
You may eat meagerly.
You may study (permitted) subjects in school.
You shall pay any fines / levees / any price placed upon you.
Everything else is forbidden, esp. freedom / choice.
the perfect liberal world...]

*****************************************

So how is this different from the U.S.?

Yeah, I hate my assigned hovel and meager food!

central_va has a hammer, so every problem is a nail:

Nuc the whole crippled powerplant with a 15 M-Ton warhead. Problem vaporized.

haircutter is another who thinks only Republican women have balls:

You guys just don’t have the ‘guts and balls’ to return and fight...
way to go Sharon [Angle] and give them he!!
It’s going to take FEMALES to clean up in Washington...Sarah, Michelle B. and any other strong lady...

Well, with your sample size of 3 and neglecting all Senators from Maine, you may have a point!

aces has a genocide plan:

How about push all of Palestine which exist now into a dump heap, use the debris to build fireline walls, clear a kill zone, and tell the palistineans to go to a hellhole that wants them, Egypt needs some new terrorist ya know..then build a thousand homes for each killed, and pass a law that these homes will never be removed from Israeli residence in future negotiations...

Uri’el-2012

She seems to be from the Marxist-Anarchist
wing of the Democrat party.

Marxist-Anar...Gah! Word's don't work that way!

JLAGRAYFOX thinks Obama is in bed with Qaddafi:

IMHO, POTUS Obama is dirty from head to toe with Quaddafi support. You folks can figure it out. Just remember that close kint “Ring Around The Rosie” cabal of Obama, Wright, Farrakhan, Clyburn, Jones and, of course, the backer, Quaddafi. Yes, Quaddafi, the murderer of American innocents in Berlin and on board Pan Am Flight 103. Be proud Americans and especially you Democrats, that you put this sleaze team into power!!! Dummies!!!

But then Obama got involve din bombing Libya. Luckily WhistlingPastTheGraveyard figured out Obama was actually in bed with the Saudis, who hate Qaddafi, so the conspiracy of Obama serving evil Muslims was saved!

I can't help but wonder about Obama's pre-Harvard ties to the Prince's right-hand, al Mansour, and what kind of long-term investment Al Waleed might have in Obama. If he's the master and POTUS is doing his bidding, fomenting revolution and establishing a new empire is the Prince's objective. Because that's clearly what Obama is doing.

lentulusgracchus thinks liberals cleverly don't directly enslave you:

slave meters to force conservation are coming.....

Liberals always want to intervene in people's lives in ways difficult to oppose.

They go to your boss (affirmative action). They go to your monopoly utilities. They go to your state bureaucracies (conditional, politically-loaded, [not-really-] "block grant" programs). Conditional NEA and foundation "cultchah" grants to teach sodomy at your kids' school.

They slime around behind your back, to present you with a fait accompli, served up with a side of selfrighteous lecturing and propaganda.

arrogantsob has his own history:

Unfortunately, there have been periods when the Middle east has been basically unified and during those periods it was a great danger to Western Civilization. It already is again and it is not even unified.

A unified Middle East?

Saturday Pix

Obama's the son of Malcolm X...which means he's a citizen! Check and mate!!

Obama's neglect totally caused the tsunami that destroyed the Statue of Liberty!

Wait, Obama is neither golfing nor partying in that picture! This bracket is fixed!!

Good lord, Freepers are hitting this meme hard.

Not as hard as they are hitting the "Michell Obama is power-mad" meme though.

What the crap is this supposed to mean?

Freepers hate Shep Smith - he's all that's keeping FOX news from being pure.

Hah - Obama is smoking even in his commie propaganda!

This is how Freepers really see teachers. Makes you wonder what their education was like.

...the hell?

And now this word from outer space

Obama is a Soviet Spy edition:

“What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?”

The out-of-the-blue remark was met by our stares. She continued, “Well, you will; and he will be a Communist.”

It was then that the husband unsuccessfully tried to change the subject; but she was on a roll and would have nothing of it. One of us asked, “It sounds like you know something we don’t know.”

“Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born, and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of presidents. He is what you call ‘Ivy League.’ You don’t believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That’s right, a chocolate baby! And he’s going to be your president.”

She became more and more smug as she presented her stream of detailed knowledge and predictions so matter-of-factly – as though all were foregone conclusions. “It’s all been thought out. His father is not an American black, so he won’t have that social slave stigma. He is intelligent and he is half white and has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a Communist. He’s gone to the finest schools. He is being guided every step of the way and he will be irresistible to America.”

We sat there not knowing what to say. She was obviously very happy that the Communists were doing this and that it would somehow be a thumbing of their collective noses at America: They would give us a black president and he’d be a Communist to boot. She made it quite obvious that she thought that this was going to breathe new life into world Communism. From this and other conversations with her, she always asserted that Communism was far from dead.

She was full of little details about him that she was eager to relate. I thought that maybe she was trying to show off that this truly was a real person and not just hot air.

She rattled off a complete litany. He was from Hawaii. He went to school in California. He lived in Chicago. He was soon to be elected to the Legislature. “Have no doubt: he is one of us, a Soviet.”

At one point, she related some sort of San Francisco connection, but I didn’t understand what the point was and don’t recall much about that. I was just left with the notion that she considered the city to be some sort of a center for their activity here.

Since I had dabbled in languages, I knew a smattering of Arabic. I made a comment: “If I remember correctly, ‘Barack’ comes from the Arabic word for ‘Blessing.’ That seems to be an odd name for an American.” She replied quickly, “Yes. It is ‘African,’” she insisted, “and he will be a blessing for world Communism. We will regain our strength and become the number one power in the world.”

Joy! Palin to go to Israel! Joy!

In the comments, we were discussing how Free Republic's political philosophy is more about people than principles. This is no more evident than how Obama can't do anything right, and Palin's every move is a masterstroke. Wee bit fascistic, there.

Thus, when Sarah Palin goes to their beloved Israel and is gonna meet with Netanyahu, there is some kind of cult-of-personality resonance and Freepers lose it with uncontainable joy:

arderkrag manages a sentence, though not to connect it to reality:

She's not even in office and she's doing more for future diplomacy than Obammy's done in his full term so far.

mancini does not:

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

mancini then manages to collect himself enough to post a fantasy:

I hope Bibi rolls out the red carpet and treats her like she’s president. SIBO

juliej knows what is right:

G-d bless Governor Palin for doing the right thing, unlike our pro Pali Prez.

hrh40 wants us to know that Palin knows all about Japan:

as Alaska’s gov she had major trade dealings with Japan and in fact, wrote a letter to the Obama admin in early 2009 when they tried to shut down some flights from Japan to AK. Can’t remember the details. But Japanese Loooooovve to vaca in AK, and the shutdown would’ve put a huge dent in AK tourism $$. So Gov Palin stepped in and got the policy changed.

Tucker39 sees God:

I hope this isn’t just wishful thinking on my part, but I hope and pray that such things as this are an indication of God’s hand being upon Sarah Palin’s life for something great in the future.

mancini knows it's Real Love

She's not pandering here. It's the love of Israel that is the motivator not the potential for votes, unlike, well, unlike 99.9% of other politicians.

Windflier can't wait till Palin is Queen:

It's not a coronation. It's a simple acknowledgment that the lady is already shouldering the responsibility of national leadership. The real coronation will come later.

Freepers ponder tax policy

Republicans in the House are making noises about cutting the top tax bracket to 25%. That's pretty crazy, but Freepers can totally top that:

pnh102 knows the most important thing about tax policy - that the poor have too much money!

And most importantly, the FairTax, as well as other retail sales tax proposals, will finally nail the half of all households which pay 0 in federal taxes!

longtermmemmory thinks New York runs on sales tax:

you also have to cap state sales taxes and limit or prohibit state income taxes. NY state and NYC would convulse with no income tax or success penalties.

"success penalties?"

JDW11235 and Wesley Snipes are in agreement:

The 16th amendment wasn’t supposed to apply to individuals and it’s appropriated, nor op-out-able, despite Reid saying it’s “voluntary.”

We should be able to opt out of ALL Federal taxes (by not purchasing a good). That is truly the American way.

4rcane may hate taxes, but he also loves screwing those he doesn't like:

Does it force google to pay higher taxes instead of the 2% tax that they pay thru gimmicks?

Renegade is beyond taxes. It's time for a revolution!

Its come time to SCRAP the present government as we know it and start over with a government that follows “ For the People,By the People” and means it !

And the bumper sticker will lead us!

BobL is polishing his guns right now and muttering:

Too late for tax cuts...

WIll Obama run for office in 2012? A Freeper discussion

kearnyirish2

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Obama will not be the Dem candidate in the general election in 2012. They will find a face-saving way out for him, but he will be out. No donors will squander funds on a long-shot re-election bid, and the other Dems “down the ticket” from him don’t want to be sacrificed as their comrades were in 2009 & 2010.

sand88

Unfortunately that's wishful thinking. The left is one with the Marxist. There is NO way he will NOT be on the ticket. They need him to complete the transformation of the US into a third world Socialist Hell.

Above all the MSM and the left (I know, one and the same) want the U.S. destroyed.

The evil MSM is equal to the Marxist as a mortal danger to our Republic. Obama would not exist without the MSM.

kearnyirish2

I agree that there are many who would love to see him on the throne forever, and would go to great lengths to achieve it; there are simply not nearly enough of them.

What states can he carry? Where are people any better off, or even as well off, as when this idiot won election? At the present rate, there will not be a single state that isn’t in play for the GOP, while the Dems would have to write off whole regions (and the Senate & House races in them).

Nobody in his “coalition”, with the exception maybe of public schoolteachers, is any better off: government workers/emergency responders are being laid off in droves, pacifists have to come to terms with his surge in Afghanistan and the fact that Gitmo will never close, homosexual deviants still have no “marriage” in the eyes of the federal government, young people are among the hardest-hit by the bad job market (especially recent grads), retirees have seen their MediCare cut into by ObamaCare, and ethnic minorities are still at the bottom of the ladder while racial tension has certainly not disappeared. Where would any enthusiasm come from?

People need jobs, and some sense of security/continuity; Obama clearly has nothing to offer on either front, preferring to talk in vague generalities about nonsense.

sand88

Where would any enthusiasm come from?

likely from tens of billions of the unspent stimulus money stolen from the taxpayers. That can buy a lot of votes. His staff is scheming 24/7 on how to "steal" the 2012 election. They can't win without fraud.

People need jobs, and some sense of security/continuity; Obama clearly has nothing to offer on either front, preferring to talk in vague generalities about nonsense.

In a fair election, any competent conservative would easily crush Obama. Viewing his chances through the prism of normal election parameters he would have zero chance of winning. However, we will have to battle the fraud, the slavish MSM, and the contemptible RINOs who will battle us all the way to the end. The MSM will be in ultra smear mode to help the Marxist chances. They will mount a coordinated, slimy media attack of the likes we never have seen before in our history.

kearnyirish2

I agree with what they would like to do/like to project; NOBODY believes that anything is any better regardless of what the TV says.

They would have to get so many people back to work (at some comparable salary to what they were earning 3-5 years ago - which NOBODY I know who has lost a job and taken another is currently earning), and convince them there is some permanence to it; this would have been difficult given 4 years, and they’re down to 1 1/2. Who doesn’t know somebody unemployed for over a year?

Who doesn’t know somebody who has lost a home? Who isn’t afraid of losing their own home and/or job? Anybody who promises a semblance of what we used to have will destroy him (either in a Dem primary or the general election); he is “the Devil we know”, and he has proven he can’t provide that. He has generated his opponents’ ads for them, with comments about what temperature we should keep our homes at and how we should sacrifice; his own lack of tact is his undoing.

YankeeReb

You are 1000% correct in everything you said. Unfortunately , there is the racial aspect of this regime. The MSM will deal the race card from the bottom of the deck against anyone who dares criticize "'The Won' we have been waiting for".

When $oros picked this empty suit to carry out his agenda he knew the American media and political climate well. Someone like Howard Dean or John Kerry is equally as repugnant, but by this point given the same circumstances, neither of those two would get away with it and still have the MSM carrying water for them. The first affirmative action president WILL NOT be criticized or even questioned in any meaningful way. Not by the MSM, (even Fox really) not by the Dems and not by the GOP.

kearnyirish2

The first affirmative action token still has to face the secret ballot, and there is no way around that. I don’t see a resurgence of “O” stickers next year; he humiliated anyone who vocally supported him.

Ever since the Cambridge incident, where he took the enlightened view of law enforcement that is held by rappers, he knows he lost any “white guilt” support. To see black cops stand by the arresting officer, even to the point of stating that they wouldn’t vote for Obama “again”, was enough to convince the dumbest white liberal that this foreigner has an intense, irrational hatred of white people, including them.

AFret.

He still has an ace up his sleeve....the “illegal” vote.

He will push for immigration reform...soon.

When it fails to pass the congress...an executive order granting amnesty will be introduced...he probably already has it drafted.

Millions of instant votes..this isn't rocket surgery.
