The Recriminations Begin

The firing of FoxNews personality Juan Williams from National Public Radio for essentially doing his job on Fox is the first salvo in what may be an extended battle.  Much like the stock market anticipates negative news, the left is acting in anticipation of the defeat they will receive on Nov. 2nd and striking out against those they blame for it.  FoxNews, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Tea Party Express, Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint will be the targets.

Another hit piece appeared today on Politico.com attempting to put a rift between Gov. Palin and conservative talk radio.  Everyone mentioned in the article has called it a total fabrication.  The fact that the article made false accusations that involved Gov. Palin, Mark Levin, Glen Beck, and a number of Senate Republicans and that all have denied the article does not detract from its effectiveness.   Those who would believe it will also believe that all the parties involved would lie and deny it.  Even though it would not benefit Gov. Palin in any way to cancel appearances, fail to keep an organized calendar, and be disrespectful of the relationships she has in the conservative media, the audience for these lies believes that she is so stupid, scatter-brained, and  despicable that the stories must be true.  Politico has not retracted the article as of this writing.

Get ready for more vindictiveness from the left. As the left may have little legislative authority starting in January, the efforts will center on the executive and judicial branches that they will still control and their conspirators in the media.  If you think the attacks on Gov. Palin have been intense since 2008, they will be much worse going forward.  Someone must be punished for getting in the way of the progress of the Progressive Movement and it will be FoxNews, talk radio, and Gov. Palin. 

O'Donnell right, Coons Wrong

It's interesting that law students should laugh at Christine O'Donnell for asking where in the Constitution do you find "separation of church and state".  It's a simple matter to read the first amendment to see if separation of church and state is there.  It's not.  Arguing that it is requires that you to believe that what isn't there, is.  It requires a replacement of reality with an alternate reality.  It requires replacement of what is there with someone's interpretation of what is there. Such is the insanity of liberalism.

In 1947, Justice Hugo Black created the wall of separation between church and state out of a phrase in the later correspondence of Thomas Jefferson.  He and four other justices on the Supreme Court imposed upon the country the doctrine that you can't pray in certain places, you can't mention the creator in certain circumstances even though both of these are restrictions on exercising religious freedom and restricting religious worship is specifically prohibited in the first amendment.

Christine O'Donnell was correct.  You won't find separation of church and state in the Constitution.  You have to dig through court decisions to find it.  Court decisions do not amend the Constitution, they only interpret it and their interpretation can be re-interpreted.
