The soup definately

has to have HR 1572, The Hate Crime Legislation. My social callender is full on soup day, since this is going to be one ghastly soup. Don't know what day it is, just know I can't be there.My stomach is churning just thinking about it.

Very creative Mrs. AL

Mrs. AL

How timely.
My contribution would have to be HR 1388 (S277)
the GIVE ACT ('Voluntary Corps') just passed in the Senate yesterday.



On this one, I'll contribute, but not partake...

Good idea, Mrs. AL.

EXECUTIVE ORDER -- REVIEW AND DISPOSITION OF INDIVIDUALS DETAINED AT THE GUANTÁNAMO BAY NAVAL BASE AND CLOSURE OF DETENTION FACILITIES. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/ClosureOfGuanta namoDetentionFacilities/

Close this place without anyone volunteering to take the TERRORISTS, not military combatants, and giving them more chances to fight against our military once more. I don't think Obama's even visited Guantanamo.

Soup must include new gun ban.

Last night on Greta, Ms.Clinton made a complaint that American guns were the real reason for Mexican violence and Holder has made some mewing sounds about restoring the Clinton deal of banning heavy killing guns, we can see that unless the NRA stands up with American popular help, here we go again. What a nice piece of tart spice for the soup. Stop by my new military blog rant. Thankas

So many laws, so little time

My vote would be the Commerce Clause, under which the federal government continually tries to exert control some activity which constitutionally is ceded to the states, under "interstate commerce." It's bogus and in some cases, the SC has actually found that the fed can't do something that they tried to do (using the commerce clause as the pretext). The fed tries something new just about every year to control something that is has no authority to control.

The Great Society (Welfare)

I would like to see all the provisions of LBJ's "Great Society" done away with.

Before welfare, the black community in Mississippi was vibrant, with mostly two parent families and growing economically.

Now, almost 40 years after the Great Society was enacted, the black community is poor, drug-ridden, uneducated, and has mostly single parent families.

The black community was destroyed by the Great Society and most blacks don't even recognize that the Democrats pulled the trigger.

The Commerce Clause goes in the soup and at this point, I think it is time to turn up the heat a little bit … what do you think?

What I keep going back to is why aren’t the States exerting their rightful place in our Republic? IMHO, “Fly a Kite” sounds like a good motto for some State to use relative to the national government’s over reaching ways.

Your corner of the blogosphere is on my list to visit (now-now, don’t take it down – lol).

I will offer up the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

This was the surrender of our nation's control of our economy and the implementation of the federal income tax as a permanent, non-apportioned penalty on wages.



Then, add a full measure of the New Deal, FDR's contribution to the socialization of America.

Social Security is the biggest Ponzie scheme in history, NOT Madaf's theft of client's money.

I could offer more, but these two will definitely poison the pot.

I agree with Boaz, the Federal Reserve Act is an excellent ingredient. Guess we could use it as the liquid to boil this mess. What do you think?

The New Deal, etc were also very poorly thought out and consequences to our Constitutional Republic ignored, IMO. Plooooop … it’s in the pot also.

They don't consume the [dyslexic] carp they force down our throats. They consume the finest food and drink at our expense. It would only be proper that we return the favor. Kind of like a survivor type show. Let's televise it and make it a real circus.

Afghanistan could become the dreaded empire killer it has been for many empires. If Pakistan does not allow us into Pakistan to follow the Taliban terrorists, we will be the next "empire" to fail in Afghanistan. If we do get to trail them into Pakistan, we have a chance to be the first to actually come out alive.

running out of ingredients

I'd say Reagan's Amnesty bill that he thought would put a stop to illegal immigration as well as appeasing the latin community. It did neither. All it did was make it worse and have the left try for another one without securing the border. That's more democrats in need of government help. Oh boy! Hopefully no one took that ingredient already. Me personally, I make a damn good chicken noodle soup with bean sprouts and water chesnuts.
