It is a suitable whipping boy when you need it, and a laxative when you want it…

In a May 2013 speech to a military audience at the National Defense University, Mr. Obama portrayed the law (President Bush’s Authorization for Use of Military Force resolution in 2001) as dated and as a potential blank check to get the U.S. into wars.

“The AUMF is now nearly 12 years old,” he said. “Unless we discipline our thinking, our definitions, our actions, we may be drawn into more wars we don’t need to fight, or continue to grant presidents unbound powers more suited for traditional armed conflicts between nation states.”

The White House now claims that President Bush’s Authorization for Use of Military Force resolution gives Mr. Obama the unilateral authority to unbind the colon of presidential power, allowing him to use military force in Iraq whenever it pleases him to do so.

Code Pink, to their credit, object to Obama’s “war mongering” but they’ve found that things are different now…

Having just won her primary a few days ago Marilinda Garcia has already done something no Democrat woman elected to Federal office from New Hampshire have done, at least in recent memory.  She is holding a…..(dramatic crescendo!)  Town hall meeting.

Her opponent Ann ‘Where is Benghazi?’ Kuster, is invited to take questions along-side Garcia, but has not–as yet–responded to the invitation.

I’d be very surprised to see Kuster accept…

You’ve probably heard the phrase “so stupid only an intellectual could think of it”?

Here you go.”

At Ohio State University, to avoid being guilty of “sexual assault” or “sexual violence,” you and your partner now apparently have to agree on the reason WHY you are making out or having sex.  It’s not enough to agree to DO it, you have to agree on : there has to be agreement “regarding the who, what, where, when, why, and how this sexual activity will take place.”

Why do college students want to have sex?  It feels good?  Everyone else was doing it?   It was the tequila?  Years of cultural Marxism from the education establishment promoting promiscuity, sexual exploration, sodomy, multiple partners, access to contraceptives…(while attacking abstinence, monogamy, and traditional marriage)?

Wait.  There’s more….

September 10th should henceforth be known as Obama’s Groundhog day.  A year ago he thought he saw his polling shadow and decided to give a speech on the immediate need to use military force against President Assad and Syria.  A year later, on September 10th, another polling shadow, and another speech, this time about how we (basically) need to use military force to attack the people Assad was attacking.

Jeanne Shaheen, always turning quickly to face the winds of progressive change, fired up a press release on both occasions, the most recent of which begs scrutiny.

George Will…on the ‘Real’ extremists in American Politics, like NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen

The First Amendment as the First Congress passed it, and the states ratified it 223 years ago, says: “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech.”

The 48 senators understand that this is incompatible — by its plain text, and in light of numerous Supreme Court rulings — with their desire to empower Congress and state legislatures to determine the permissible quantity, content and timing of political speech. Including, of course, speech by and about members of Congress and their challengers — as well as persons seeking the presidency or state offices.
