Nullification in Three Questions

 AMENDMENT CENTER 3 Hours Ago Nullification in Three Questions by  Ben Lewis As public awareness of nullification continues to grow, supporters of centralized power continue to demean it as antiquated and dangerous. They claim that nullification is unconstitutional, citing the fact that it is not mentioned in the Constitution. Curiously, it doesn't seem to trouble them that the powers they want to give the federal government are also not mentioned in the Constitution. These people are, of course, wrong about the constitutionality of nullification. Their arguments have been proven incorrect time and time again. But their misunderstanding of nullification goes deeper than just constitutional confusion. People who argue against nullification misunderstand the views of the founding generation entirely. The founders' true views on nullification can be ascertained by answering three simple questions. 1. Does the Constitution limit the scope of the federal government? Undeniably, the...

We’ve heard all about Obama’s $100 million dollar vacations, but not much about KY Senator Rand Paul’s summer break.

 GOPTHEDAILYDOSE.COM 2 Hours Ago We've heard all about Obama's $100 million dollar vacations, but not much about KY Senator Rand Paul's summer break.

Arms Trade Treaty. This  letter  joins the bipartisan efforts of 50 senators and 181 members of the House of Representatives. The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty poses a clear threat to Second Amendment rights because of the inclusion of "small arms and light weapons," which includes firearms owned by law-abiding American citizens. This treaty also sets the stage for a national gun registry which could be made available to other nations.  Please continue to voice your support for our constitutional freedoms by letting your Senators know that the international gun grabbing United Nations will not be allowed to infringe on our Sovereignty and Second Amendment.

Vol. 20, No. 43 11/01/2013

 NRAILA.ORG 2 Hours Ago Vol. 20, No.  43 11/01/2013 Firearm-related deaths among children have decreased since the mid-1990s, but new research heralded by gun control supporters claims the opposite. A research abstract entitled United States Childhood Gun-Violence – Disturbing Trends, presented during the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference & Exhibitions by physicians Arin L. Madenci and Christopher B. Weldon, claims that from 1997 to 2009, in-hospital deaths of children resulting from gunshot wounds increased nearly 60 percent, and hospitalizations of children for gunshot wounds increased 80 percent. Predictably, gun control advocates and their allies in the media have taken the researchers' claims as the gospel. With its usual degree of precision, MSNBC reported that the "[n]umber of American children who have died from guns has spiked 60% in a decade." The study in question uses data from several editions of the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID), wh...

Another Shooting in a Gun Free Zone in a Gun Control State

 GUNSSAVELIVES.NET 6 Hours Ago Another Shooting in a Gun Free Zone in a Gun Control State Details are still light on this incident, but we thought we should go ahead and address some of the facts that we do know.

Media Matters Dunce Wants 60 Minutes To Retract Benghazi Report

 AMERICANGLOB.COM 2 Hours Ago Media Matters Dunce Wants 60 Minutes To Retract Benghazi Report Media Matters is a non-profit tax free organization and its mission is the destruction of FOX News and the protection of liberals from any media scrutiny. It's run by this guy. I know you are but what am I? His name is David Brock and he's got his panties in a twist over the 60 Minutes report on Benghazi. Mediaite reports… 60 Minutes did a new, in-depth report on the attack at the American consulate in Benghazi last year, and it helped to revitalize the national debate over the attack. CBS's report featured an exclusive with a man who recounted what he witnessed, but Media Matters founder David Brock is calling on 60 Minutes to retract the report for a big error. The key criticism here surrounds the man identified in the report as Morgan Jones (though his real name was confirmed as Dylan Davies afterwards). He told 60 Minutes he was witness to the attack, and described what he saw ...

MSNBC Exploits LAX Shooting With Gun Control Falsehoods

 TRUTHREVOLT.ORG 1 Hour Ago MSNBC Exploits LAX Shooting With Gun Control Falsehoods by  Jeff Dunetz On Friday afternoon, MSNBC went wall-to-wall with live coverage of the tragic shooting at LAX. Anchoring the coverage was MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart, who added commentary along with guests Professor James Peterson, Director of African Studies at Lehigh University, and Heather McGhee, VP of the public policy organization Demos. Returning to the studio after a police press conference, the three began a lament about the power of the NRA, which was not only void of facts, but inappropriate at a time when the story was still developing: Capehart: Heather, in its latest filing, the NRA said had it had almost $11 million on hand and it's going to take some big bucks to win any gun control argument. McGhee: I'm really glad you bring that up. Because, I mean, we need to look at the campaign finance reform system. I was thinking, what could the President do on this? Maybe push for campa...

Rush Limbaugh Savages Obama: ‘Richard Nixon Resigned Over a Lie Nowhere Near This Big’

 THEBLAZE.COM 1 Hour Ago Rush Limbaugh Savages Obama: 'Richard Nixon Resigned Over a Lie Nowhere Near This Big' by  Jason Howerton Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Friday argued that "Americans are losing [health care] coverage by political design" through Obamacare. He said the White House knew millions of Americans would lose their coverage, adding that "Richard Nixon resigned over a lie nowhere near this big." "And you know the hell of it is that Obama doesn't think he lied. I don't think Obama, in his mind, is capable of lying. Whatever is necessary to say or do to advance the agenda is what is morally correct. Doesn't matter. He doesn't care. He doesn't think he lied," Limbaugh said. He went on to say Obama and his administration put forth an "abject, purposeful lie to the American people for the expressed purpose of passing legislation." "This is total fraud," he concluded. Listen to the segment...

 THEBLAZE.COM 41 Minutes Ago Tennessee State Senator Presents Kathleen Sebelius With Really Embarrassing 'Gift' – and She Doesn't Look Very Happy About It by  Jason Howerton During an education and outreach session in Memphis on Friday, Republican Tennessee State Sen. Brian Kelsey gave Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius a book that he thought she might need: "Web Sites for Dummies." That's why we called it a "gift" in sarcastic quotes. The book is clearly meant to mock the Obama administration over the disastrous rollout of the Obamacare website. The Daily News in Memphis  was able to capture the moment in a photograph. As you can see, Sebelius doesn't look very amused: Credit: Daily News Sebelius spoke about the so-called misinformation being circulated about Obamacare that has some Americans confused,  according to the Sun Herald . "There is no question there is still an extraordinary amount of misinformation," she ...
