“In the first place it is to be remembered that the general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects, which concern all the members of the republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any.” —James Madison, Federalist No. 14

I know, it’s been a while. So sue me.
Let’s look at today’s serving of “It’s The Law Except When It’s Not”, shall we? First, take a read over at Chicks On The Right.
The weepy left wants the laws to be not applied when someone is complying with said law. Michigan’s laws are such that a person who is licensed to carry concealed is allowed to carry a weapon on school campuses, even if the campus is posted as “Gun Free”. The dad successfully got the court to rule that he didn’t have to carry concealed, just as long as he is licensed to do so. The left doesn’t like this, and wants to send the school into a paroxysm of fear and lock down anytime a weapon is sighted. The left doesn’t want to follow the judge’s decision.
Unless, of course, it benefits them. Then you have to follow the judge’s decision.
Second entry today comes from the Washington Post.
Here we have a County Clerk in Kentucky who, instead of being forced to issue same-sex marriage licenses, stopped issuing licenses completely, straight or gay. A gay couple, instead of getting a state license from a different county, insists (read: made their feet go stompy and held their breath) they should be able to get a license form the county where they reside. The judge who heard the case decided that, indeed, you have to do what judges say, no matter what you personally feel. This is in violation of the Clerk’s First Amendment right.
To recap: You MUST do what judges rule to be correct, regardless of your personal feelings, unless the judge ruled against a closely held belief of the Left.

Obama(THHO) voters, anyone?
“At this auspicious period, the United States came into existence as a nation; and if their citizens should not be completely free and happy, the fault will be entirely their own.” –George Washington, Letter to the Governors, 1783
The government you get is the one you allow to happen.

Over the last few weeks, a drama has played out on the Arts and Entertainment (A&E) channel’s decision to “suspend” Phil Robertson from his own show, Duck Dynasty. Seems Phil stated his beliefs according to his Christian teachings regarding same-sex couples, which sent the left into a tailspin of shock and disbelief. This is the same network that was trying to get the Robertson family to quit praying in Jesus’ name on the show – both kerfuffles resulted in the show continuing, with the resulting exposure and free advertising doing nothing but driving up the fan base numbers. And proving to those of us who watch for these things that the basic beliefs of this country are still there, just obscured behind the smoke and mirrors of a very vocal minority that seems to have a large corporation that happens to control the news on their side.
There was another flare-up, this time on the abortion front, and this time in Market Square in San Francisco. According to the SFGate, pro-choice groups feel that banners that state “Abortion Hurts Women” is “hate speech” – in spite of medical proof that abortion does and can results in harm and death in some cases. Of course, the child is never considered to have feelings or is factored into the “Harm” portion by the pro-choice groups.
Medical facts and Christian teachings are apparently not part of the left’s continuing mantra of “diversity and inclusion” since these two areas conflict with so many things the left believes.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, “It’s not that the left leaning liberals are wrong, it’s just that they believe so many things that are false.”

Apparently, there was a phony on the stage at the Mandela funeral.
See him? He’s standing just to the left of the fake sign-language interpreter.
You thought I was gonna dig on Obama(THHO) directly, didn’t you?
