One liberal judge will suffice . . . send overpaid legislatures home
By Kaye Grogan

Now I know it's common protocol these days for the liberals to take exception with those pointing out how "run amok" liberal judges and courts are in their recent rulings, but really isn't it time you found your way back into the real world? I call it — like I see em'.

If one judge or even three for that matter, can overrule congress and the will of the people, my suggestion is to send the congressional do-nothing members home for good! Just think of the beau-coos of money we could save if the outlandish salaries and retirement benefits for 500 plus House Representatives and 100 Senators were halted — not to mention the salary of their aides.

So far, almost every important law signed into existence by the president has been overturned by one liberal judge or another, and the rulings have not thus far been challenged by lawmakers or the president. So realistically...who needs lawmakers?

It's obvious the balance of powers has shifted dangerously into the hands of just a few. And for the most part — they have lost the ability to correctly interpret the existing laws, making up their own laws from one ruling to another as they stumble "unsteadily" along.

Many legislatures stood around scratching their heads, as news surfaced of Gavin Newsom the mayor in San Francisco, California concerning the issuance of illegal marriage licenses to same-sex partners as fast as the licenses could be printed out.

I think many are still twiddling their thumbs over the fact Mayor Newsom decided to take matters into his own hands, making up his own laws, and quickly applying them concerning same-sex marriages.

Whether one agrees with a law or not — does not give them the right to ignore or break the law they disagree with or make up their own laws. We are still a country that is supposed to be governed by laws, although we are presently on a slippery slope due to many liberal groups actively involved in getting rid of the laws they don't like or want to conform to, all the while pushing for underhanded ways to suppress the rights of those who disagree with them.

I just don't know why I find it amusing that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is under such scrutiny by the liberal news media, while the liberal Democrats' black kettles keep multiplying — but I do. A comedy routine couldn't be any funnier than the Washington, D.C. crowd.

It's a good thing "throwing rocks at glass houses" is just a hypothetical way of pointing out how one guilty party ignores the planks in their own eyes — while pointing out the splinter in their brother's eye, otherwise the Democrats would be paying out a lot of money to have their windows (constantly) replaced in their lavish homes.

Without the Internet news — few would know about the investigations going on in the Hillary Clinton New York Senate campaign fund raising tactics where many alleged discrepancies seem as abundant as "Carter's Little Liver" pills. Even fair and balanced Fox News Network is letting this news intentionally fly over the top of their heads, while they keep to the forefront news of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's (alleged) discrepancies involving ethics violations, which he vehemently denies. If DeLay is guilty of any wrong-doing he needs to be dealt with accordingly, but at the same time, most of the other politicians need to get in the long line and be dealt with in the same manner. And in the meantime: they need to duck every time they throw rocks to avoid the boomerang effect.

And since many liberals can't seem to understand when a conservative writer is using parody or satire in their otherwise sometimes boring opinion pieces, I'll just have to use another illustration other than the elephant standing on an ant's shoulders (pointed out by a liberal in an email sent to me of how impossible it is for a poor ant to bear the weight of an elephant on its shoulders — duh!) — to demonstrate how "unfair and unbalanced" all news entities tend to be. Lighten up and find a little humor if you can liberals!

How about the Fox News Network is about as fair and balanced as an elephant walking on a tightrope?

Speaking of judges (again) — I find it highly amusing that the Democrats are threatening again to filibuster the judicial nominees of conservative judges brought before the judicial panel selected by the president for confirmation. The ever transparent Democrats are maintaining that conservative judges have no place on the courts, and they don't seem to have any problems with exposing potential judges to litmus tests, if they are of a conservative nature, at the same time berating the Republicans if they dare to apply the same tests to liberal contenders who are favored by Democrats to stack the courts.

Frankly speaking — all of the "crybabies" in Washington. . . need a gigantic pacifier stuck in their mouths!

And that's just my opinion!
