Farm Fresh


Democrat candidates reveal campaign slogans:

Hillary Clinton: It's my turn (let's get it over with)

                 also: Vote for me. I'm a grandmother. 

Bernie Sanders: Everything free

Martin O'Malley: Have you seen your other choices?

                   also: I'm not a nut


Assumptions
Among liberals, it’s almost universally assumed that of the two major parties, it’s the Republicans who have become more extreme over the years. That’s a self-flattering but false narrative. (Peter Wehner, New York Times, 5/27/2015)

Good article that our Liberal friends should read. They rail endlessly about the Tea Party, but the Tea Party started as nothing more than a bunch of people who were frightened about the fiscal imprudence of our politicians. Liberals promptly labeled them "extreme."

Grade = F
America’s most powerful former law professor is getting a re-education in the Constitution, and on present course President Obama might flunk out. Witness Tuesday’s federal appeals-court rebuke of his 2014 immigration order, including language that suggests the Administration will also lose on the legal and policy merits. (Wall Street Journal, 5/27/2015)

We can only hope. Meanwhile we quote the following:

"...the 'problem' that Obama is purporting to fix is the absence of a law granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Rather than executing a law, Obama is making one up - arrogating to himself a function that the Constitution explicitly allocates to Congress....the absence of a congressional law granting amnesty is not evidence of political failure that must somehow be corrected by unilateral executive action; it is evidence of the lack of popular consensus regarding illegal immigration." (Heather MacDonald, Manhattan Institute, Practical Thoughts on Immigration, quoted from Imprimis, February 2015)
