The Supreme Dorks

The last session of the Supreme Court has been fantastic. I feel so secure in my liberties now!


1) You no longer own any land that cannot be taken away by the government as long as they justify the potential to make more property tax off it with the next owner.

2) Cable companies do not have to share their lines with other broadband providers. So what, you mention? Well, we the people allow them to string the cable up to provide us a service. That cable is them the people’s domain. The cable service can still charge other broadband providers a fee for using the infrastructure, but they still should have to allow the use. This type of issue first came up with the railroads. One company laid the line, and then claimed monopoly not only of the line, but also nay type of vehicle that passed. They controlled the rates for passengers and cargo. They also used their great power to slow other competition from mounting. The cable companies did the same thing. They built the infrastructure with our approval. Then they established monopolies on townships for cable providing. Then they lobbied congress and got them to not allow satellite TV providers to give their customers local TV. You thought that the satellite technology was not there to give people those local channels. Nope! The cable lobby manipulated your elected officials and made it illegal, not impossible! Now they have somehow manipulated the system again and are not allowing other providers for internet service to use your cable infrastructure.

3) Wishy washy as ever, the Supremes allowed some 10 commandment displays and not others. What? I’m still trying to figure out the delineation. It has as much concrete thought and support as Roe v Wade.

4) They spent time on making sure that big media can sue kids getting music off the internet, but…

5) They would not hear a case regarding the ramifications of reporters putting classified data from the CIA leaks out into the public domain.

Can you believe these geeks? Now Renquist and O’Connor look like they’ll be leaving. Plus, John Paul Stevens is 85, and isn’t looking all that great either. The Supreme Court could really see a shake up. So what if it does. These old farts aren’t interpreting the law and the Constitution. They’re making it up as they go along.

How can you allow a city to force out people from 3 generation family homes so that a developer can open a strip mall?

Why would you deny decades long decided law and not allow free competition over a government sanctioned infrastructure that has allowed the builder to already recoup its costs and then some?

When is a Commandment not offensive to the one anal atheist in the back of the court threatened by the word of God? When should we hide the rules that are the foundation of all Judeo-Christian and Western law?

When will the police break my door down for taping the radio, or my favorite TV show, now that the internet music is illegal?

How many secrets that hold our national security together…how many covers of American operatives need to be blown before someone can stop it from happening again?


The Supremes are buying into their titles. They have become elitist and decadent.

WE NEED TERM LIMITS ON THE SUPREMES! END THE FASCIST RULE OF UNVOTED JUDGES IN THE USA!

Old American Century... 14 Points from a bunch of Jack Asses, Part 2

I now continue with my point by point mocking of Jack Asses from Old American Century.

Website: http://www.oldamericancentury.org/14pts.htm

4.) Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

Do you ever wonder what is the #1 thing we pay for every year with our taxes? Is it the military? NO. It is Social Security Insurance. That’s right, the wondrous social program that takes your money non-voluntarily so the government can take care of you and give it back to you later in life at a 1-2% interest rate. Oh by the way, if you die before you get all your money back that you invested, it stays with the government. What a deal!

O.K. That said, what is #2…the military? NO. It is social services: Welfare, Medicare and Medicaid. You know, the redistribution of wealth from the tax paying rich to those people who are in need. This is a noble idea, but wrought with abuse. Why do you think medical professionals charge so much? Because they can! Either a) your medical insurance pays for the costs or b) you pay for the costs through government programs.

So, what are we looking at budget wise for #3? You guessed it; it is the $82 Trillion of the military. It is number 3 for cost, and the only service so far that is part of the constitution.

Is it really disproportionate to the domestic agenda? It sure looks like it takes a back seat to Social Security payments to the old and social services to the poor. In addition, the website says even when there are widespread domestic problems. Unemployment is now at 5.1%. Homeownership is at its highest in history. Pay is at its highest too. What are they talking about?


Well, maybe the next one makes sense.

5.) Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

Where do we start here? Read over the examples on this site. What a bunch of B.S.

Since George Bush thinks that the government should not recognize same sex marriage, he is a sexist? What? Why is this anti-gay? Look, I cannot marry a guy under that type of law just like any other guy. I am straight. So, this law is not against gays, it affects everyone. Secondly, just because the government does not recognize a marriage does not mean you cannot get married. I could give a shoot less if the government recognizes my marriage to my pet goat!

What we’re talking about here is the legal enforcement of entitlements and benefits that come with a sanctioned marriage. The agenda for the left to bring this up as an issue is not to ratify love in the public square. It is to allow more people to get free stuff. QUIT IT!

Being against abortion is being against the death of small babies. This now amazingly qualifies for sexism.

I’m sorry, but I believe Hitler and Stalin were more than happy to abort babies and anyone with defects or who were old or infirm, etc.

Well, this one does not make much sense at all. How about the next one?

6.) Controlled Mass Media: Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Forget this flipping list. How can anyone read further down after this one?


I can’t wait to read the next Lampley article!
