FOR MILLENIALS ONLY

About two hundred and fifty years ago the East India company found themselves in a dilemma. They had held tea off the market trying create a shortage, to drive up the price. Their stored tea had grown stale; it was stored in dark damp warehouses in lead lined shipping crates so there was no air circulation, perfect conditions to grow mildew. The flavor was further enhanced by hitchhiking insects which managed to hide in the cargo; the tea had been stored long enough for the insects to breed and produce more generations of insects, which pooped on the tea and died. No-one in Europe would buy the tea, not even the impoverished Irish who were accustomed to getting the discards from England. (historians now call it surplus tea, instead of garbage). The East India company claimed to be losing money due to an economic downturn; (Historians all repeat this lie. Businesses they support never lose money due to their own greed and mismanagement) The east India company threatened King George that they may not be able to pay dividends to him or the other shareholders in Parliament. King George was upset and he gave the London schemers free reign to develop a plan to keep the East India company profitable, (and paying their dividends). Prime Minister Lord North and the other schemers in London decided this unsold tea was the perfect product to force on the American colonies. They would use the full weight of the British navy and the powerful Admiralty Courts to prosecute and fine anyone importing tea from anyone other than the East India company. They would confiscate cargo and ships violating their mandate. The North American colonies rebelled.

A variation of this rebellion is taking place today over The Affordable Care Act and its variations. The hoard of Washington schemers came up with a plan to make themselves richer and more powerful than they are. Washington schemers decided they have the right to force Americans to buy a junk insurance product with high deductibles, and coverages people don’t want. Imitating the corrupt English Admiralty Courts they were able to get five justices on the Supreme Court to agree they have the same right King George had, to force Americans to buy something they don’t want.

The schemers plan drove out insurance companies who were not part of the "in crowd". Their plan guarantees profits, high salaries and huge bonuses to the insurance company executives, the Washington schemers favored. It also further impoverishes Americans struggling from the machinations of Marxist politicians, academics, lobbyists and government contractors, who all get wealthy from their schemes. The key to the obama scheme is the beleaguered millenials, who must buy an exorbitantly high priced product they don’t want and don’t need.

At the back of this scheme is the knowledge that the schemers have miseducated the millenials and turned them into weak and ignorant snowflakes, who have no idea why american colonials fought the revolution. In fact they have been taught to worship big government and its mandates. They were taught the American Revolution was caused by a handful of greedy, tax dodging slave holders. Freedom to make their own choices had nothing to do with the revolution. The idea of freedom is a sarcasm among the academic elites. Moreover, the Washington hoard has flooded the country with illegal aliens to dilute and destroy the American passion for freedom, while increasing the demand for free health care. (They demand health care provided by someone else... the millenials) Even limousine liberals like jimmy kimmel have gotten into the act by demanding that millenials pay for his health care. Ignore the fact that he makes more money in a year than most millenials will make in their entire lives. Since he is one of the elites, he feels entitled to live on the backs of others.

The only hope for the country to wrest power from the scheming Washington hoard is if the millenial generation wakes up and recognizes what atrocities have been perpetrated on them, and rejects obamacare and any variation of it. Will they cave in to congressional demands that they impoverish themselves and enrich the insurance companies and the elites by buying an overpriced junk product?

Or will they send Congress the same message the despised founding fathers sent King George and the London schemers? That is: UP YOURS.

PARCEL O’ROGUES

Our forefathers knew their history. That’s why they were able to write such remarkable founding documents. The following song tells the story of the Scottish nobles selling out the common people of Scotland. That’s why it’s so important for the liberals to force common core on students and control the university. They limit knowledge to what they want people to know.

The following song Parcel 0' Rogues commemorates the elitist sellout of the common Scots by the Scottish nobility. Looking at the schemers in Washington - it's clear history repeats itself.

MORE CORRUPTION

The republicans are using a variation of gerrymandering to manipulate polls and opinions; They are collecting data on candidate's popularity and introducing new candidates to knock out tea party candidates. In Maryland, conservative populist candidate Dan Bongino's web page exploded with support when Marxist senator Mikulski announced she would not run again. Bongino would have easily won the seat statewide; he barely lost a congressional election in the far left voting district of Montgomery County, MD. (in the congressional election, instead of supporting him, the rnc asked Bongino to give them money so they could finance corrupt cronies in other parts of the country) The republican in crowd then put former rnc chairman Steele up for election as senator from Maryland. Steele has no chance of winning since he was forced out of his rnc chairman job by allegations of corruption and incompetence. However, because of his skin color he would split the vote in Maryland and drive Bongino out. The result of the corrupt rino tricks is this - Bongino moved to Florida. Maryland will get another far left senator to replace Marxist Mikulski; the country loses due to republican corruption.

In Maryland, the politicians are forcing the limitations on usable living space prescribed in Agenda 21 on the public. They are imposing fees on people who want to build on their own land in areas outside of the big, overcrowded cities. Politicians plan on forcing the population into three large metropolitan areas in Maryland. (Sixteen thousand dollar fees are not unusual for a permit to build on your own land) They are simply making it too expensive to live outside of the cities.

They use other tricks such as the "rain tax" which we have in Maryland. (Warning: the current governor plans on being president after obama)

This is so effective, politicians on a federal level are writing legislation to impose the same restrictions on the entire country.

This proposed legislation will be full of sneaky tricks which the public will not know about.

Summary of Senate Banking Committee Leaders’

Bipartisan Housing Finance Reform Draft

This legislation (and any legislation these sneaky bastards come up with) will be used to impose Agenda 21 limitations on us. It will allow the government to prohibit mortgage loans on property outside of approved areas, and demand huge fines for people who want larger houses in rural areas. They hide their intentions by talking about fair housing and fees etc. This is an example of how they hide things:

"The measure establishes an initial and incentive-based fee structure to support the Housing Trust Fund, the Capital Magnet Fund, and the newly-created Market Access Fund and authorizes FMIC to collect these fees. The incentive fee structure will be established by FMIC." ALL FEES ARE EVENTUALLY PAID BY THE BORROWER. In other words we are at the mercy of bureaucrats.

We can’t save the country until the public understands the true goals of these greedy, power mad regulators. The public must realize how they hide their true intentions in legislation they pass. Politicians have learned that they can hide their intentions by NOT PUBLISHING THE REAL BILL THEY ARE VOTING ON. Instead they post summaries like this one:

Critical clauses will be added AFTER they've conned the public into believing it is beneficial reform legislation.

The power of lobbying

While chalaque obama is destroying companies providing electric power to us, he is rewarding lobbyists and his well connected friends, who are engaged in the same businesses he is shutting down.

See this:

Political oppression and ambition are nothing new. I found the following passage from a play on Cato the Elder to be pertinent:

 

Cato.

Let not a torrent of impetuous zeal

Transport thee thus beyond the bounds of reason:

True fortitude is seen in great exploits

That justice warrants, and that wisdom guides,

All else is towering phrenzy and distraction.

Are not the lives of those who draw the sword

In Rome's defence intrusted to our care!

Should we thus lead them to a field of slaughter,

Might not the impartial world with reason say

We lavish'd at our death the blood of thousands,

To grace our fall, and make our ruin glorious!

Lucius, we next would know what's your opinion?



Lucius.

My thoughts, I must confess, are turn'd on peace.

Already have our quarrels fill'd the world

With widows and with orphans: Scythia morns

Our guilty wars, and earth's remotest regions

Lie half unpeopled by the feuds of Rome:

'Tis time to sheath the sword, and spare mankind.

It is not Caesar, but the gods, my fathers,

The gods declare against us, and repel

Our vain attempts.  To urge the foe to battle,

(Prompted by blind revenge and wild despair)

Were to refuse th' awards of Providence,

And not to rest in heaven's determination.

Already have we shown our love to Rome,

Now let us show submission to the gods.

We took up arms, not to revenge ourselves,

But free the commonwealth; when this end fails,

Arms have no farther use; our country's cause,

That drew our swords, now wrests them from our hands,

And bids us not delight in Roman blood

Unprofitably shed; what men could do

Is done already: heaven and earth will witness,

If Rome must fall, that we are innocent.



Sempronius.

This smooth discourse and mild behaviour oft

Conceal a traitor — something whispers me

All is not right — Cato, beware of Lucius.

[Aside to Cato.

Cato.

Let us appear not rash nor diffident:

Immoderate valour swells into a fault,

And fear, admitted into public counsels,

Betrays like treason.  Let us shun them both.

Fathers, I cannot see that our affairs

Are grown thus desperate.  We have bulwarks round us:

Within our walls are troops inured to toil

In Afric's heats, and season'd to the sun;

Numidia's spacious kingdom lies behind us,

Ready to rise at its young prince's call.

While there is hope, do not distrust the gods;

But wait at least till Caesar's near approach

Force us to yield.  'Twill never be too late

To sue for chains, and own a conqueror.

Why should Rome fall a moment ere her time!

No, let us draw her term of freedom out

In its full length, and spin it to the last,

So shall we gain still one day's liberty;

And let me perish, but in Cato's judgment,

A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty,

Is worth a whole eternity in bondage.

Another Attack from Rove

This morning Karl Rove attacked Senator Cruz and the Tea Party again. In recent memory he attacked Michelle Bachmann for not doing anything with the Tea Party caucus. He’s also attacked Sarah Palin for resigning her governorship midterm. He expects the media to repeat his attacks and do his personal dirty work for him; they will. He is bitter about Palin because she knew she was in the cross hairs of republicans and democrats both. She left office before they and their minions in the media could destroy her. Like many of the high level operatives, Rove pretends to be volunteering his services to the country out of the goodness of his soul.

A closer look at politics where he has a hand in reveals something more sordid. I have a copy of the official GOP Maryland web page stored on my computer. Before the last election I went there to find information and perhaps position papers on Republicans running for office in Maryland. Dissatisfaction with democrats is at an all time high in Maryland and there were a few Republican newcomers to the race. I was hoping they might get some help from the Republican party, to help turn the tide of extreme liberalism here in Maryland.

There were NO POSITION PAPERS!  NO ENDORSEMENTS! NOTHING TO EXPLAIN CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES OR GOALS! There was nothing there but drivel.

What I found was a tiny drop down menu, and extremely small print, which, when selected, listed the names of Republican candidates and the offices they were running for. The Party went so far as to include hyper links to their facebook pages! That’s the extent of the help Republican candidates got in Maryland., even though there was a chance of making some inroads into elected offices here in Maryland.

However in large 20 point type was an advertisement to have lunch with Karl Rove and buy his new book. I think it cost $125.00 a plate to eat lunch with Rove. Henry VIII used to charge people to watch him eat too!! In Washington these lunches are a way of contributing money to the power brokers, without running afoul of any rules. Lobbyists will buy tickets and give them away to underlings. No-one has any interest in hearing what Rove has to say. He’s had his hands on the strings of power through backroom manipulation and cunning. He has no understanding of our republic or any worthwhile philosophy; he has no sympathy or understanding of the American spirit that has made this country great. His philosophy is avarice.

KARL ROVE IS WORKING AGAINST US

Karl Rove has directed a fifteen million dollar contract to his friends to organize data for future elections. It's a way to collect data, (and polling information) and organize propaganda for upcoming elections. The RNC will provide input information, (based on what Rove wants the data to show) and the way he wants the party to move.

 

“Our venture will change the game with a Republican, free enterprise approach to  data and technology,” Boyce said in a statement Wednesday. “We are building an  open platform to increase access to data for the entire Republican team as well  as to bring creativity and technological innovation to our party through new  great applications that can be built off the platform.”

It looks like a sneaky way to marginalize Tea Party voters, those Rove doesn't like, while trying to encourage liberals and more crony capitalists into Republican ranks. This guarantees the corruption and deficits and liberal agenda will continue. Besides , it makes his friends richer.

PUSH POLLS

One of the tactics the liberals used to get out their vote is a two step process using push polls. It works like this: first they have a pollster call, asking for your valuable opinions on a variety of generic political topics. The final question is “how likely are you to vote in the upcoming election?” They mine the list of likely voters for those they can sway to their candidates. They also determine what kind of lies and propaganda they need to move people to vote, based on the answers they gave in the earlier poll.
Next comes the push poll. This is not a real poll; it’s a propaganda interview intended to force an opinion on you after directly feeding you misinformation. For example, they will state that all of the noteworthy environmental groups oppose the Keystone Pipeline because of the devastating damage it will do to the environment. Then they state that Romney supports this project since it will make the oil companies wealthier. Then they ask if you support the pipeline.
Another question will be about abortion. It will be phrased in a way that they can state that Romney and the Republicans want to prevent women from having access to birth control and control of their own bodies. The questions are always preceded with lies and misinformation!
These tactics work on uninformed voters; they proved it in the last election.

OBAMA TELEPROMPTERS AND GOEBELS

When the National Socialists were trying to take over Germany, They used propaganda and intimidation. Their propaganda was composed of films and stories using pretty pictures, noble sentiments pleasant music and song. There were promises of happiness. It was so effective people ignored the brutal beatings, the vandalism and the written philosophy of Naziism. Party membership grew rapidly, until Hitler grew tired of the cute images and ordered chief propagandist Goebels to make a movie depicting Hitler’s true vision. (This is like Obama going off teleprompter.) Hitler made Goebels show a film with hundreds of rats on screen; the rats were compared to Jews. This was a big setback; people left the theaters in droves. It displayed Hitler’s warped view of the world and was the true vision of the hate behind National Socialism. People didn’t like it. They wanted the promises of jobs, prestige and free health care. Hitler was chastened and Goebels went back to the propaganda that fooled people.

Socialism and deception go hand in hand. Obama’s campaign ads prove it. He has taken to calling Romney a felon because of an answer Romney gave on some bureaucrat’s form, regarding what day Romney left Bain Capital. There were no criminal charges and certainly no convictions of any crime. Putting the wrong date on a bureaucrat’s form is not even a serious misdemeanor. In view of the lies told by Congress and the President, it’s not worth noticing. More revealing than the campaign lies are the off teleprompter remarks Obama has made about successful businesses and people. Like Hitler’s movie depicting Jews as rats, it gives Obama’s true vision. Obama’s view is that people did not create their own lives. Society gave them success if they have it. More revealing are his remarks that the private sector is doing just fine; he knows that Americans have lost 40% of their wealth on his watch. His response to this is government needs more money and higher taxes. He said this knowing that a federal bureaucrat now makes twice the amount of money and benefits that an equivalent job in the private sector makes. This is the real vision of Obama’s socialism. Obama wants a large, rich and powerful bureaucracy, living on the backs of impoverished workers.

These ideas are amplified when you look at the Farm Bill. Obama’s intentions become clear. There is a huge allocation for food stamps in farm bill. So it follows that Obama has no plans to create jobs in the private sector. He plans on a more serious long term depression and is anticipating a higher demand for food stamps. The allocations for farmers make it clear he will continue his cronyism and dole out money to chosen friends and targeted big businesses like agribusiness. He plans on bringing in more food stamp recipients from the third world, particularly Mexico. Congress knows the plan and is cooperating with him.

It’s not clear whether Americans will be fooled by his empty promises, or will they see his vision for the nightmare it is.

KING JOHN AND EPA RULES

Eight hundred years ago, King John of England issued some of the earliest environmental legislation; he ordered all of the hedgerows to be cut to the ground. This returned the ground to a more natural state. This caused havoc in England. The peasants used hedgerows as fences. Hedgerows kept animals out of their crops. Without hedgerows animals freely wandered into peasant’s fields to feed on their crops. Many people died of malnutrition and starvation.

Like the environmental leaders of today, King John didn’t really care about spotted owls, snail darters, kangaroo rats or any other species. He cared about exercising power. With the hedgerows down, King John felt a euphoric joy as he and the nobility rode down the crops chasing game, through farmers fields. Modern environmentalists get the same pleasure when they stop road projects, building projects and manufacturing projects. They’ve stopped farmers from watering their crops; put many people out of business and prevented new businesses from developing. They’ve done enormous damage to the country, and Environmental Protection Agency rules are a major factor in sending jobs to foreign countries and continuing the recession. These rules are a weapon against free markets and independent businesses. President Obama made it clear he is going to use EPA rules to bankrupt anyone who tries to mine coal. We can’t build factories, refineries or roads due the these rules. People can’t start and expand businesses without cheap energy and transportation. The businesses that thrive are those that are working on government contracts, or businesses which have some necessary service and no competition. In other words EPA rules are a major tool of crony capitalism. They are used to block and bankrupt people while rewarding chosen friends.

History provides some hope for the future. The social damage caused by the destruction of the hedgerows in England roused the people of England. It bred resentment that became a revolt. After a war, King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta and recognize rights of citizens. It was one of the first times in history people resisted the unrestrained abuse of power. It’s time to do it again.

POTENTIAL VICE PRESIDENT

The recent push to get Condoleezza Rice in as Romney’s vice president was well planned. More important, it’s a signal that the liberal cronies who get rich off of government contracts and sneaky addendums to legislation are well entrenched and have no intention of giving up power to constitutionalists, and tea party types. They clearly intend to staff Romney’s cabinet and staff with liberals. They will also block access to the president so that conservatives can’t get close enough to have their voices heard. That’s how we got a closet liberal as chief justice on the Supreme Court. He appeared to be the best choice because he was able to hide his need for social approval of the chattering class, while posing as a conservative justice. At the same time constitutional lawyers were blocked access to important Senators and the president. To counter this we will have to keep up pressure on Congress and the hoped for future president.

Keep blogging, keep commenting, reach out to voters who are misinformed about the situation and persevere.

HE’S NOT INCOMPETENT

This morning on all of the talking head programs you will hear "conservative" pundits remark that the president is "in over his head" or incompetent. This is not true; moreover it allows the democrats to respond that Obama is being sabotaged by the republicans. He’s not. The republicans have given him remarkable support. The truth is Obama is in perfect harmony with the corrupt and deceptive representatives in Washington. As proof look at his successes. He not only passed Obamacare but he got the Supreme Court to fiddle with the legal arguments to make it constitutional. Remarkable! To keep unemployment high, he’s announced he’s not going to enforce immigration laws; meanwhile he’s importing as many aliens as we are creating new jobs. He’s used his power to shut down coal mines and oil drills. The result is artificially high energy prices. This also damages the economy and job growth. He blocked the oil pipeline from Canada. This also keeps unemployment high and keeps oil prices high. He’s snuck new taxes into bills such as the 3.8% federal sales tax on real estate. Congress went along with this. They didn’t undermine him. The president and congress have access to the best minds available when it comes to advice on the economy or most anything else. He knows what he’s doing and is doing it intentionally. Let’s stop calling him incompetent and tell the truth. Obama and the liberal congress are getting exactly the results they want! They are wrecking the economy and the country.

ONE SCAM AFTER ANOTHER

One of the first environmental scams the Congressional quislings ran on the American public was the toilet legislation. In the sixties and seventies we could still buy 3.5 gallon flush toilets. Some lobbyists came up with the scheme to convince the public that we were wasting water and destroying the environment by using so much water. Congress decided that we should only use 1.6 gallon flush toilets and passed a law making 3.5 gallon flush toilets illegal. Toilet manufacturers that did not have high profit margins and could not afford to retool had to shut down. Americans felt good about saving the environment and applauded the legislation. But it was a scam. It’s real purpose was to destroy competition and impose regulations on the public. IT DOES NOT SAVE WATER OR THE ENVIRONMENT. Consider-if I borrow 3.5 gallons of water from the Potomac River, send it through my toilet and back into the Potomac River, the river flow is the same. I did not take water from the Potomac and throw it away. Now if I only borrow 1.6 gallons of water to flush my toilet the result is still the same. I do not create more water in the Potomac by using less. I may clog my sewer line that way, but I don’t create water. THE RIVER FLOW IIS NOT CHANGED. THE WATER IS NOT SAVED AND HELD BY THE RIVER- it flows into the Chesapeake Bay. The principle is the same anywhere in the country.

The conversion to digital television signals was another scam designed to make special interests rich. The forty dollar government rebate for those junk boxes was part of the scam. The real story was the millions forced from the public for digital antennae and new televisions needed to replace the now obsolete equipment.

Curly que light bulbs are another environmental scam. They are supposed to be needed due to an energy shortage. In fact they were used to shut down American lightbulb manufacturers. Obama also used this scam to enrich his friends at Philips electric. He gave them a grant of a million dollars for developing a long life lightbulb that costs $40.00 each. What’s worse is that curly que bulbs are a fire hazard if plugged into a circuit with a dimmer switch. There is no energy shortage.

High energy prices were contrived by the actions of the past several administrations. They’ve stopped the building of refineries, stopped drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, stopped the Canadian pipeline, shut down coal mines etc. They raised prices to enrich their friends; we have plenty of energy. But what they did is even more evil. They’ve forced us to put alcohol in the gasoline we use. This is hard on engines and cuts milage by 15% or more while raising the price of gas. The important part of the legislation was to enrich farmers who grow corm, and their lobbyist friends. It does not save any energy to convert corn to alcohol and add it to gasoline. This has also raised food prices. It’s legislation for the fun of imposing their will on us and making us poorer while enriching themselves and friends. The quislings demand campaign contributions from lobbyists to buy their votes. Incidentally, Congressional quislings don’t write legislation; it’s written by K St. law firms, in other words lobbyists and special interests. (The quislings convert campaign contributions into their own private use when they retire.).

You can find proof of the deceptive scheme In the Washington suburbs. Traffic signals are synchronized to jam traffic up by stopping you at every traffic light. When a University of Maryland professor went to a meeting of the three transportation departments (Maryland, D.C., and Virginia) to explain a computer program that would allow traffic to flow without the tie ups, the bureaucrats told him they have the lights synchronized exactly the way we want them. In other words they are trying to force people to use the inconvenient and expensive public transportation; the elites want us to give up our cars and our freedom. They don’t care about the energy they waste or the pollution created while we sit in traffic at stop lights; they use the lies about energy shortages to manipulate the voters.

You will not find a single piece of environmental legislation passed by these quislings that was not designed to increase government power over us or make some special interest wealthier at the public expense.

COWARDLY QUISLINGS IN CONGRESS

Vidkun Quisling was a Norwegian politician who tried to get elected promoting national socialism. The Norwegians rejected him and national socialism. So Quisling wormed his way into the bureaucracy to learn the inner workings of government and form alliances with other idiots in the government. He then made a secret deal with Hitler to take over Norway and force national socialism on the Norwegian people. Since then Quisling has been used to describe politicians and traitors who have a secret agenda which they hide from the public they are trying to fool and manipulate.

History is repeating itself in the USA now. People are beginning to realize that we’ve been intentionally lied to by our elected representatives for years. They’ve promoted "environmental legislation" that they pretended was for clean air and water. It’s real purpose was to gain regulatory power the public never intended the government to have. Social legislation was promoted which did not benefit anyone in society except the lawyers. It made them rich by allowing them to cram our courts with useless litigation. One of the secrets about environmental legislation was that it gave legal standing to any group of idiots who wanted to obstruct progress and impose their malice on people who were trying to develop wasted property or rehabilitate existing property. That’s why there are no "shovel ready jobs". And Obama and the rest of the horde know it; they’ve effectively cut off any movement to progress and turned us into a third world country. Obama smiles because it amuses him to see how effective their legislation has been. Much anti-business anti-consumer legislation had the hidden purpose of shutting down businesses and driving others overseas.

There is proof of this intentional deception. Congress has not passed a budget for three years, (even though they’ve increased spending to an unbelievable level), in order to hide what they are doing with the money. Billions have been frittered away on "green" businesses which the public does not want and never asked for. It’s a way to make friends and lobbyists rich at the expense of working Americans. Many of the businesses funded by the president and Congress have already gone bankrupt leaving us the bill while the business owners got rich and the politicians got huge donations. (Politicians convert their unused campaign funds into retirement money when they leave or are thrown out of office.

We need to spread the word so that Americans who only get their information from the duplicitous mainstream media will understand what has been going on. Ane we meed to elect politicians who will REVERSE the bad legislation that has been adding up for forty years. Only the Tea Party will do it.

OBAMACARE DECISION

As most of you realize by now, Today’s decision regarding Obamacare has nothing to do with Constitutional law. Chief Justice Roberts had to do some creative thinking to declare that the penalty for not having health insurance is really a justifiable tax.
It’s pointless to analyze law to discover legal reasons for the decision. To get at the reason for the decision, you must know Washington itself. It’s the city and social climate here that are responsible for this bad ruling. The social pressure to be accepted as someone important governs the lives of most people here. Social pressure determines what cars people drive, what stores and restaurants they patronize what clothes they wear Social pressure also determines what ideas are politically correct. If you want to be accepted by people and have friends in this town, you must conform to the liberal status quo. That’s why there are so many RINOs here. We elect good people and send them to Washington; in the pernicious climate they eventually become part of the city’s social climate. They conform to local ideas and simply deceive their constituents about the legislation they are voting for.
After 30 years it was Justice Roberts big chance to stand out and join the Washington in crowd. He’s made himself their champion with his befuddled opinion. Now he’s finally welcome on the Georgetown party circuit. In Washington, that’s more important than right and wrong, honesty or deception, or anything most Americans value. That’s why it’s so important to elect fresh people to Congress.
