Roberts passes out of committee 13-5. This is the biggest non-issue ever. Given Republican president’s poor track record of getting a true conservative on the nation’s highest court, why are Democrats belly-aching about Roberts? I’ve noted here before that it’ll take ten years to tell what kind of justice Roberts will be. This whole confirmation process should take about 30 seconds. “Are you going to tell us if you’ll vote to overturn Roe?” “No, senator I’m not.” OK, now let’s have the party line vote.
The one question that should have been asked by a Republican was never brought up. “Judge what if Roe were over turned today? Would abortion be illegal in all 50?” “No senator it wouldn’t. It just wouldn’t be mandatory in all 50 states. We’d revert to the status quo anti where each of the several states’ elected representatives, instead of five dopes in robes, would decide how that state’s abortion laws would read."
Gas gouging. Somebody’s got to explain this to me. If I’m at a NASCAR race with the last case of beer and decide to sell those beers for $10 each, is that beer gouging? If everyone in the world wants the last bit of oil available and is willing to pay $90 a barrel, if 20% of my refining capacity has been destroyed or otherwise shut down by storms, if over the last 25 years I have steadfastly refused to invest in more drilling and refining capacity, should I bitch about gouging because gas has gone to the unspeakable cost of $3 a gallon even when European dopes have paying over $5 for years?
Besides in his book “My Head is Flat” or was it “The world is Flat” Bob Schieffer’s Secretary of State, Thomas L. Friedman, like all good liberals, called for $4 a gallon gas as means to curb consumption.* Liberals have been clamoring for higher gas prices for years. Now that they’ve gotten them, they bitch about gouging. The big difference is that the Libs wanted to TAX gas to $4. So get this. In the Lib’s mind, it’s OK for your own government to gouge you to raise revenue to fund the latest Piss Christ, but it’s criminal for the gas companies to raise price in response to supply and demand. Strange, very strange.
* One Sunday, during his viewerless blabbermouth show, the clueless Bob Schieffer actually told TLF, that were he president, Shieffer would appoint TLF as his Secretary of State. To which TLF replied, Bob based on the rating of this show if everyone watching was allowed to vote for you, you could not be elected as a school crossing guard in Dutch Bend, Wyoming population 83.
CNN makes case for less government. I hope the RNC has its TiVo running on CNN. In its continuing effort to assault the president on everything Katrina related, CNN has made a compelling case for less government. CNN has taken to showing every hapless face they can find pointing out that while government has been unable to reach the poor wretch, the local church or some other Good Samaritan has. Then they whine, how can this local church reach these poor people when the full weight of the federal government can’t? Well churches know where the people are. There are more church volunteers than federal government workers. The church has more compassion than the federal government. It is impossible for the government to find everyone who needs help in an area the size of Great Britain. People who need help find the church or the church finds them. But if you advocate federal funding for this type of church work CNN and other Libs go ballistic. Odd, isn’t it?
