Supreme Court does what our elected officials cannot do - Stop the cycle of hate and polarization in America

.

Thank God for our Constitution and the foresight of our Founding Fathers

Two sweeping decisions by the United State Supreme Court this week may do more to heal the hatred and polarization in America than any action by our elected officials.  With the final rulings by the Supreme Court announced this week, the door is open to a far more peaceful and compassionate United States in the days to come.

By ruling that Americans receiving Obamacare subsidies are protected by our Constitution, and following that up with recognizing that Gays and their right to marriage are protected by the Constitution, the genius of our Founding Fathers once again has withstood the test of time.

The US Constitution was adopted by convention of States on September 17, 1787; and the ratification process was completed, on June 21, 1788.  Nearly 227 years to the day since our Constitution was ratified America proved again to the world that our Founding Fathers envisioned a far more perfect union than the one we started out with and then put in motion laws that would protect us centuries later.

Two of the most incendiary issues of our time have polarized America for most of the past decade and resulted in total stagnation in our federal government.  Health care and Gay rights have been the lightning rod issues of the past few campaigns in terms of social issues and in terms of government responsibilities.

However, after several election cycles it was becoming clear that our federally elected officials did not have the ability to solve them on behalf of the people, and the consequence was a failure of the federal government to solve other unrelated issues in need of immediate resolution.

As debate drug out on both issues, the government ignored many other key concerns like war strategy, terrorism, budgets, infrastructure, fixing health care, cleaning up the banking and finance community, and many others.

Since our elected officials took an oath to uphold the Constitution, now is the time to start doing it.  The Obama health care reform program is not going to go away.  Yes it has flaws, but tell us how you are going to fix it, not just destroy it because it is protected by the Constitution.

The same is true with the Gay ruling on marriage.  Stop trying to deny people Constitutional protection and uphold your oath and the Constitution.  It is a travesty, our elected officials could not sit down and work things out between them, but it is times like this when our Founding Fathers expected politics and politicians to be a roadblock and gave us a Supreme Court to decide on the Constitutionality of issues.

The last time I checked, once elected to the House, Senate, and Presidency, our elected officials are obligated to serve all the people, not just the ones agreeing with them.  We forgot that in the heat of the never-ending political polarization of the Bush and Obama years.

Now responsible leaders and all those candidates for the presidency need to step back, take note of the Constitutional safeguards in place, and start working together to solve our problems rather than be our problems.

Perhaps we should all listen to the words of Jesus Christ in this matter.

King James Bible - Matthew 22:21
They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Well it is clear that the marriage license from the government is Caesar's and all citizens still have the right to marry in their church where the rules may be different, so how about we drop the screaming and respect all our rights and everyone's rights under the Constitution.

When will the people who care for everyone, respect everyone's rights, and show compassion and empathy for all get a chance to lead us.  It seems we have lost sight of everything America stands for and we need to get over it.

 

Over 200 years ago, a whole lot of people risked their lives, their fortunes, and their families to take on the greatest empire in the world and fight for freedom.  They won and we are the beneficiaries.  You know, the Constitutional Bill of Rights should have been named the Bill of Rights and Responsibilities because we must do our part to guarantee the freedom of all people in America, not just those with whom we agree.

As for the candidates running for the presidency, instead of tearing down all that is why not tell us how they intend to fix things.  America is a melting pot, the only nation on Earth where 99% of the people are not from America but are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants.

We represent all cultures, all people, all races, and all religions and guarantee freedom and equality to all who respect the rights, freedoms, and equality of all others.  It was 239 years ago when the citizens of the American colonies said a new nation and new form of government were required to protect all the people.

We should honor those people, our Founding Fathers, whose foresight is living proof that such an idealistic and unique nation can exist.  Following are the names of those colonists who risked everything for us by signing the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution.

Obama's Axelrod Slams Rosen for Slamming Romney

.

Just Shut Up - the CPT Achievement Award for Sticking both feet in one's big fat mouth.

Today is the aftermath of the firestorm kicked up when Hilary Rosen, close friend of David Axelrod and his wife Susan and Democrat spokesperson on cable news like CNN and others, wins the coveted "Just Shut Up award for making a quite derogatory comment about how Ann Romney, wife of Mitt Romney, has never held a job in her life and therefore has no business telling her husband women are worried about the economy.

Oops - Hilary and David Axelrod

What nonsense.  Once the firestorm started about how typical of liberal Democrats to consider a woman choosing to raise her children, Ann Romney has five boys, is out of touch on women's issues and the economy.

Of course that attitude on behalf of the liberal Rosen totally ignores the sacrifices of Ann Romney, and ignore her partnership with her husband in running for president.  It also ignores the fact she went through bouts with breast cancer and MS diseases.  In short, Rosen seemed to be testing a new element of the Obama war on women strategy, attack the wife since she was getting such good publicity.

Hilary with Susan Axelrod

Not surprising as the Obama campaign has used these rather dirty attack strategies throughout this and the last campaign.  It seems to be part of the Chicago School of Politics.

Remember when they accused former President Clinton of "raising the race issue" during the South Carolina primary in the last campaign.  It helped to stop Hillary Clinton's momentum in her battle for the presidency.

One would think Axelrod and Ploffe, the two politically paranoid Davids controlling everything Obama thinks, eats, does and says, would never let a close friend of Axelrod like Rosen shoot her mouth off about Ann Romney if that was not what they wanted.

I think it might have backfired as the first reaction of Obama's puppet masters the morning after Rosen dropped the incendiary bomb on CNN was to throw her under the bus denying all knowledge of her actions and trashing her comments.  What a friend.

Personally I think they panicked when they realized their spokesperson telling Ann Romney she never worked a day in her life thus casting Romney as a useless wife was really in no position to lecture any woman on the responsibilities of how to raise children.

Rosen is in a gay relationship and she and her partner do have children.  Since Rosen is the career breadwinner, however, she clearly doesn't have experience in what it takes to raise children, she leaves that to her partner.

Even that does not justify condemning someone for having never worked a day in her life.  Or condemning her because she and her husband oppose gay marriage.  On the other hand, it does reflect Rosen's feminist view of women who raise children.

Most of all, she is now a toxic political risk for the Obama campaign and thus she was thrown under the bus.  That means the rest of the liberal media is to ignore her as she no longer speaks for Axelrod or his wife.

I agree with Axelrod, Hilary Rosen should Just Shut Up.
