Replacing Beck with Beckel, et tu, Fox?

It is a mean joke, replacing Glenn Beck with Bob Beckel and other unnotables in the new show TheFive on Fox News. It is not that I watched Beck that often, but I know his heart was in the right place. And why am I left wondering why Fox and Beck parted ways so quickly after Beck became an outspoken proponent of Israel, and so soon after Fox was bought by the Saudis. Hmmm.

In the meantime, Beckel rubs salt in the wounds. Yesterday he called us, the Tea Party, anarchists. He said, "they like to call themselves patriots, but they are anarchists."

Hey, Bob. Look at the header on my blog. That may look like anarchy to you because your kind are always projecting your hatred and tendency to violence onto others. It was in reality a large, peaceful gathering of dedicated Americans who are genuinely worried about the direction our once-great nation is headed. These people had the temerity to bring trash bags to the National Mall and clean up after themselves. But you don't recognize that.

You want to know what we Tea Party Patriots really call ourselves? Constitutional Conservatives. I'm sorry if the idea of adhering to the American Constitution offends you. Wait. Scratch that. I'm not sorry at all. Anyone who is offended by our Constitution needs to take a long boat to somewhere and never come back. No need for you to distress yourselves by observing Americans living in liberty, right?

Michele Bachmann is a Constitutional Conservative. I bet you didn't read her piece in the Daily Caller yesterday. You probably won't read the following quote either. But you should.
I believe our founders knew what they were doing when they designed a limited government with specific, enumerated powers. I’m also convinced that many of our problems result from the federal government’s insatiable — and unconstitutional — grab for power and money. On issues ranging from light bulbs to bailouts, to the Dodd-Frank banking legislation, Washington has been on a destructive spree of bureaucratic empire-building. It’s time for that to stop.
It's not anarchy, hon. It's the opposite. It is the rule of law, not the rule of often flighty, selfish politicians.

We Could Sure Use Some Separation of Powers Right About Now

I don't know about you, but I sigh wistfully when I read about the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. Boy, we could use a country that actually HAS a separation of powers.

Obama ignores the Constitution regularly. And even lately, there has been no let-up. Shamnesty is a no-go in the legislature this year. Ya think? Americans in a national depression don't want to give away jobs to 11 million foreigners? Americans don't want to ring the dinner bell for 4 times that number who will pour across the border for the next amnesty? We have been burned by this before. Reagan's amnesty was one of his worst mistakes in office, in my opinion. California used to be a conservative state, but no more. All because of Reagan's amnesty. More swing states will fall if another amnesty occurs.

But ever to be one pole-vaulting over obstacles, Obama's administration is discussing other alternatives, like executive powers allowing forms of amnesty. Hmm. Is that like legislating from the oval office? What Would Our Founders Do (WWOFD)?

Similarly, not to be deterred by 2 court rulings against his offshore drilling moratorium, Obama continues to rewrite the law his imperial declaration that no drilling shall proceed. Ever. Until he says so.

Obama scoffs at every one else's power but his own.

I can't WAIT to show him our power in NOvember.
