It seems Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is a racist. Why? Because the “mainstream” media caught him using the word “urban.” Oooooooooooooooo! Isn’t it time we took their race-baiting and slapped them back in the face with it, exposing them as cheap frauds who see people of certain skin colors as tools with which to attack their political enemies?

Those governors that are today considering whether or not to implement a state-run health insurance exchange under the new health care law may hold the fate of Obamacare in their hands. There is no question that if governors decide to implement such an exchange, they will be aiding and abetting the implementation of this law. It is up to the states to force Obama to fight for every inch of his law. This is no time for collaboration.

You may have heard by now that there is a growing movement by some people in several states to secede from the United States in the wake of the pro-socialist election victory on Nov. 6. Many people have had it with the desire of roughly half of our country to rape and pillage the other half for free stuff, and to ignore the U.S. Constitution, and rather than continuing to try to save America, they just want out.

In his victory speech, Obama pledged he would continue pursuing “the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one.” That’s a truly frightening thought. In fact if left unchecked, Obama’s “bold, persistent experimentation” could very well wind up making this crisis every bit as bad as that one. And ObamaCare’s ill effects are already starting to show.

It seems to me that what was worth fighting and dying for back in 1776 should remain front and center today. What created our country is what will speed our present quest. Despite all the highbrowed prognosticators, and the weak spine tutelage from our corps of experts, the basic tenets found within our Constitution remains as our Eucharist for freedom’s salvation.

Mario Loyola says at Tuesdays’ National Review Online what many conservatives (like myself) have been saying for the past three years: that the states should stand their Tenth Amendment and Article 1 Section 8 ground and refuse to participate in unconstitutional ObamaCare schemes, aka health care exchanges. For one thing, if the states stand united against it, the federal government lacks the resources to force it on them.

Born a slave, he taught himself to read, and attended school after working all day. At age 25, he founded Tuskegee Institute and recruited George Washington Carver. By his death, NOVEMBER 14, 1915, Tuskegee had over 1,500 students. His name was Booker T. Washington, and he was the first African American to have his image on both a U.S. postage stamp and coin, and was elected to the Hall of Fame.
