A few reminders for the constitutionally challenged

THOMAS MITCHELL "Ask a friend, a family member or a co-worker about the Constitution and what it does. You are likely to be told it grants Americans their rights and assures democratic elections and fair trials, or something along those lines. You'll also learn these things belong only to individual Americans. Foreigners and corporations are not covered." H/t to Neal Boortz.

ANSWER THE DAMNED QUESTION!

Neal Boortz "[Chris] Wallace pressed the issue, but Gibbs just flatly refused to answer the question. Sadly, Wallace didn't demand an answer. Perhaps Wallace was afraid that if he pushed the issue any further he would never get the President's spokesman on the show again."

Former Fetuses Unite: So What, Really, Is the Problem with the Tim Tebow Ad?

Kyle-Anne Shiver "Tim Tebow, with quite astounding football prowess, is one child who was allowed to live. And grow and prosper. And succeed. To the delight of his parents and his family, friends and football fans. Since 1973, 51 million Americans just like him were not given this privilege. They were killed by abortionists before they had the chance to show what they could be. And that is a message that the abortion lobby cannot dare let come to light. Therein lies the problem with the Tebow ad."

AHMADINEJAD: 'Iran will deliver telling blow to global powers on Feb. 11'

The Shaming of John Edwards

PoliticalWire "...I am starting to believe that ABC News is playing a major role in something important: a public shaming of Edwards. And that is news, because it has seemed, at least since Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, that our culture has lost touch with the concept of public shame." H/t to Taegan Goddard.

Thomas Sowell : "Great Scott!"

Townhall "One seat did not deprive the Democrats of big majorities in Congress. But one seat was the difference between being able to shut off debate in the Senate and having to allow debate on what was in this massive legislation. From day one it was clear that concealing what was in this bill was the key to getting it passed. " 'People Aren't Stupid' By JOHN FUND "Nonetheless, Mr. Brown is clearly sensitive—and a tad defensive—about his state's own universal health-care system. It now covers about 95% of the population; but it has also led to the nation's highest insurance premiums. It is driving hospitals towards bankruptcy and making it more difficult for people to see a doctor. Mr. Brown voted for the system in 2006 .... We were being eaten alive by health-care costs." Universal coverage hasn't changed that, however."

As Predictable as Clockwork — the Obama Three-step

Victor Davis Hanson "...we’ve come full circle from the idealistic-sounding, centrist candidate Obama, to the Carter-McGovern President Obama, back to the wannabe Clinton triangulator. The only constant — no real identity, no firm belief, no core convictions from which to make the argument that his left-wing vision is good for the country. You see, Mr. Obama never had to: left-wing dogma was always a state religion in the circles Obama thrived, and once Obama the nightingale started in his song, few of the hypnotized worried about the inane message that followed."

Democrats at Risk

Jennifer Rubin "A tactic that would have seemed far-fetched a year ago, when the new president was sworn in with a 67 percent job approval rating, is now emerging as a key component of the GOP strategy: Tie Democratic opponents to Obama and make them answer for some of the unpopular policies associated with the chief executive."

Rep. Jeb Hensarling Corrects Obama’s Inaccurate and Dishonest Statements on the US Deficit
