“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
-The U.S. Constitution
There are two words that can be taken from the right stated above: Government infraction. Despite no member of the federal government being involved in the citizen organizations practicing their freedom of speech against the 9-11 Mosque, their right to act upon this current issue is being placed as a pillar for the Mosque and against the Constitution. Leading the fight, any of the nation’s most powerful liberal legislators are attempting to protect the plans to build a Mosque in the same building where one of the plane’s landing gear hit on September 11th. At a Ramadan celebration dinner at the White House, President Obama used the statement to show support for the mosque. Alongside him, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, ignoring the fact that the resources of the millions involved in the project are still unknown, openly demanded to investigate where the money used for Anti-World Trade Center Mosque ads are coming from. |

Ever since the Trianon Peace Treaty of June 4, 1920, that reduced the territory of the Hungarian Kingdom by 67% and its population by 57%, the past had had a catastrophic grip on the political life of the country. The myth of Hungarian victimhood and a peculiar form of hyper-nationalism rooted in the rejection of Western political, economic and cultural values were the responses to the perceived injustice by the rest of the world. Moreover, outraged by the West’s abandonment of Hungary to the Soviet Union after World War II, Hungarian political culture became shot through with a sense of powerlessness and a conspiracy-based vision of history. Finally, the claim that the United States betrayed the revolution of 1956, added a lethal mix of national narcissism and populism to the already existing hatred to the world in general. |

The bottom line, however you want to look at it, to Obama’s selection for Supreme Court is for his power only. Not only is Kagen not a correct choice for the nation but for the court as well; especially in this time of war and fiscal challenge.
No matter who it is, everyone you will speak to about Kagan has their own ideas of her but the one thing that stands out within everyone’s response is clear: “No experience in the judicial chambers.” Although many follow that up with other previous members of the Supreme Court and their glowing background as justices, it is not just the experience but what comes along with it that we should be just as concerned with. It is the timing of her arrival. |

The people who watch politics closely expected it, the ones who didn’t assumed it and now we know it. Through an internal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service memo, the Obama Administration blatantly confirmed amnesty is their number one objective regarding illegal immigration. Actually calling removal of persons who are not in the United States legally a "threat", this is not only proof of a Capitol Hill rumor that was just in the past few month showing teeth, but another spit mark on the Constitution made by our current leader.
While the Constitution is vague when discussing the ability and standards of Executive orders, it does show that it is within the limits of the leader that the actions should stand. Nonetheless, through an Executive Order Obama plans to replace actual and real reform regarding Immigration with aspects that equal amnesty for illegal aliens; The same document Obama used to lure upcoming former legislator Bart Stupak which turned out to be less worth the ink used to write it, the document in question discusses it will include steps such as a “deferred action” to allow illegal aliens to stay in the country, legally as well as extending the “grace period” for those whose visas have expired.

While Judge Susan Bolton lays out the “Welcome” mat for the illegal immigrants to enter our borders, she is threatening not only our immigration standards, but also our standards as a nation. Since the moment Governor Jan Brewer refused to allow ignorance of the White House to infect her state for another day, this was not about just about immigration totally but about what we wanted this nation to be. We are threatened daily by outside invaders and instead of protecting ourselves, we fight within our own legislative and judicial walls complicating every aspect of it and back-bite ourselves while our nation crumbles.
Evading objectives such as requiring papers to be on hand at all times and police to have the authority to question a suspect’s citizenship risks our nation even further because not only can illegal aliens who cross the border now believe nothing will happen to them, they now have it in writing. Hence, the following will be even more detrimental because they actually have a judicial authority saying not to worry about consequences. This threatens more the same things which were at risk and created the Federal law in the first place.

Journolist List Serve, to many was an assumed factor of journalism. While we watch the cookie cutter leftist stories play out on every channel and every page of the newspaper, it was accepted as a part of society and left at that. However, the reality of this is we are not just talking about some leftists spouting blogposts but really attempting to take control of America.
Even placing aside Obama and his election, it was not only political futures at stake but also the future of our nation which was in the hands of these “reporters”. Returning to the present however, just taking one glance at what this current President is doing to this nation will show you what the media assisted to create: the downturn of our nation. Thanks to their help, we have an administration who’s leadership allows the same people who created our recession to try and fix it, backroom deals to occur for an unwanted legislation and their press to be no more “transparent” than a sheet of copper. |

Despite these “caps” that are continuing to be placed on the leaked pipe within the shores of the gulf, BP is and will continue to be a story which the nation has a right to hear about. Even after the spill is contained, its aftermath will be continuing and the nation needs to be updated on its progress. Especially considering how Obama continues to disallow foreign allies despite the obviousness that we cannot handle the situation alone. Now, not only is international assistance restricted but also the media. |

Although America has already shown a historic height of dissatisfaction regarding our current President, the most alarming rejection is recently coming from a very surprising sector of politics: members of his own party. In a recent White House meeting, the nation’s democrat governors grumbled against the recent legal attack on Arizona for their newest immigration enforcement law S.B. 1070. Discussing it Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen said, “Universally the governors are saying, ‘We’ve got to talk about jobs,’ and all of a sudden we have immigration going on.” |

In Conference Room 3 of the United Nations, the most powerful Socialist organization held a two day meeting to discuss their future. While much of what was discussed was technical, many of the members seemed to have their own nations in mind first and foremost. As the finances were discussed, there were many independent conversations happening between and within nations’ representatives. As if they were on vacation, photos in front of their large power point screen were taken while the future of the organization was debated as well as acts they would take on for their international agenda. |

At their two day conference held at the United Nations, the Socialist International looked toward the future of two specific conflicted nations. With the recent Flotilla attack still fresh in their minds, the organization approved a five-pronged approach to peace.
