With all due respect, professor Chemerinsky, how can you agree with the Court’s 5-4 decision that there cannot be a mandatory life sentence without parole for homicides committed by juveniles? Isn’t the Court’s ruling in Miller tantamount to giving America’s endemic youth criminal class a key to their own jail cells? Perhaps my meta-analysis of juvenile law is incongruent with the macro/consensus view of your ABA article, the law Academy, and the Court.
Everyone remembers that famous Newsweek cover of February 2009 – “We Are All Socialists Now.” Similarly, recent perilous events exploding throughout the Middle East and at home here in America have forced me to come to this conclusion: “We are all under Shariah law now.”
Following the military tactics of genocidal Islam, Muslim radicals interrupted reverential 9/11 memorial services in New York and other venues honoring the 3,000 Americans killed 11 years ago.
On March 3, 1964, Barack Obama, Sr. applied for an extension of his visa – which granted his part of the deal for his sham marriage to Ann – to be allowed to get his Ph.D. from Harvard. The film’s Obama impersonator says, “Obama’s frequent lessons in politics mostly involved Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto. Frank explained, all history is class struggle between the oppressors and the oppressed. Frank lectured that America’s corporate system was designed to benefit the rich and to keep the poor down.
Movie director Joel Gilbert concludes his revelatory movie about President Barack Obama with this telling statement: “The ‘Birthers’ have been on a fool’s errand. To understand Obama’s plans for America, the question is not ‘Where’s the Birth Certificate?’; the question is ‘Who is the real father?’” Gilbert’s film “Dreams from My Real Father” unites together the confirmed facts with consistent logic and supposition in an effort to fill in the apparent gaps in Obama’s history.
During these distressing times we live in today filled with angst, loathing, political turmoil, rampant immorality and media propaganda, I thought I would depart from my regular political essays and direct my energies to the cinema and one of my favorite movie classics, “Little Lord Fauntleroy.”
It was a remarkable event on many levels when last Saturday morning Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney finally announced his vice-presidential running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, in a speech in Norfolk, Va. Besides satisfying Romney’s disillusioned, conservative base, Ryan’s speech was a pure philosophical moment. As the Wisconsin congressman delivered his acceptance speech, the audience heard words it hadn’t heard on a national stage since Ronald Reagan 30 years ago.
Socrates (470-399 B.C.) – a renowned Greek philosopher from Athens who taught Plato, and Plato taught Aristotle and Aristotle taught Alexander the Great. Socrates used a method of teaching by asking leading questions. The Greeks called this form dialectic – starting from a thesis or question, then discussing ideas and moving back and forth between points of view to determine how well ideas stand up to critical review with the ultimate principle of the Socratic dialectic being Veritas – Truth.
In the Old Testament, there were three times good King Jehoshaphat listened to military advice from the prophets on whether or not to go to war with his surrounding enemies, and three times he wasn’t satisfied with the words he was hearing as being authentically from the Lord (I Kings 22:7; 2 Kings 3:11; 2 Chronicles 18:6).
When President Obama goes off prompter, he usually tells truth … at least the “truth” as he sees it. Obama’s quote above not only reminds me of Karl Marx, the father of socialism and communism, moreover, his arrogant, anti-business, anti-capitalism screed reminds me of the words of Thomas Jefferson who wisely said, “A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have.” Perhaps that’s why so many Marxists and socialists professors and liberal teachers are rewriting and revising history today, because they don’t want the voting public to be knowledgeable about the truth of history, politics and economics.
“The corruption, crime, and incompetence of the D.C. government has been an embarrassment to our nation’s capital for decades. It is long past time that Congress restored the honor and integrity of George Washington to the beautiful city which bears his name.” ~ Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), speaking on the BOWSER Act “It is […]
Fifth Circuit’s Ruling against “Nasdaq Board Diversity Rule” Safeguards Meritocracy Over Mediocrity
“The evidence presented by Nasdaq in its rule proposal, contrary to its claims, does not show that board diversity provides better returns for shareholders.” ~Excerpt from a Manhattan Institute led amicus curiae brief in the case of Alliance for Fair Board Recruitment vs. SEC. “We will terminate every diversity, equity, and inclusion program across the […]
The Keep Nine Amendment: A Permanent Solution to Threats of Court-Packing
“I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court. If anything would make the court appear more partisan, it would be that. So, I am not at all in favor of that solution. Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a […]
