Obama toadie Jeb Bush backs confirmation of radical leftist Loretta Lynch as Attorney General

By Warner Todd Huston

Obama has been trying to get Loretta Lynch confirmed as the new head of the Department of Justice but the Senate has been dragging its feet.

This is a woman who has refused to say if she would investigate Hillary’s email violations and said that illegals have every right to work here in the USA like legal citizens do.But Jeb says she deserves to be confirmed.

Answering questions at a town hall with New Hampshire primary voters at the Snowshoe Club, Bush, an all-but-announced Republican presidential candidate, stopped short of explicitly calling for Lynch’s confirmation. Her nomination to replace Attorney General Eric Holder has been stalled for an unusually long 160 days over a Senate showdown on an unrelated sex-trafficking bill that includes a controversial abortion provision.

“I think that Presidents have the right to pick their team,” Bush told a crowd of about 95 voters and a horde of media.

Once again we see Jeb leaning left. He is a big government guy on education with his support of the failed Common Core policy and he is an open borders type who openly supports Obama’s un-Constitutional amnesty.

ISIS ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER: Judicial Watch blows the lid off another Obama scandal

By Tom Fitton

Judicial Watch is proving itself the most resourceful and impactful educational organizations in the nation. No other media outlet, no congressional committee, and no other non-governmental organization can match JW’s successes in ferreting out what the government doesn’t want you know. On the issue of terrorism and the border, JW’s journalism this week had an international impact. On April 14, our Corruption Chronicles published the following extraordinary report on ISIS operations in Mexico and in the United States:

ISIS is operating a camp just a few miles from El Paso, Texas, according to Judicial Watch sources that include a Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector.

The exact location where the terrorist group has established its base is around eight miles from the U.S. border in an area known as “Anapra” situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Another ISIS cell to the west of Ciudad Juárez, in Puerto Palomas, targets the New Mexico towns of Columbus and Deming for easy access to the United States, the same knowledgeable sources confirm.

During the course of a joint operation last week, Mexican Army and federal law enforcement officials discovered documents in Arabic and Urdu, as well as “plans” of Fort Bliss – the sprawling military installation that houses the US Army’s 1st Armored Division. Muslim prayer rugs were recovered with the documents during the operation.

OH, NOES: Grandpappy of Obamacare circles the drain

The American Interest relays relays the unsurprising news of central planning gone awry:

The former head of Britain’s National Health Service ... warned Thursday that “emergency action” may be needed to shore up NHS finances. Though the service’s troubles haven’t taken center stage in Britain’s national election, a crisis could be quietly brewing. Here’s the BBC:

In an interview for BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Sir David – who ran the NHS in England for eight years – said that because there was an election period, the NHS was unable to publish the latest report on its financial position.

But he said it was “pretty clear in the NHS that there is a substantial financial problem, particularly in the hospital sector” which would become “crystal clear” in the autumn […]

He said the NHS would have to take “emergency action” such as vacancy freezes.

To date, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have both pledged to increase funding by £8 billon by 2020, but Labour hasn’t. And Nicholson says that even the £8 billon depends on NHS’s earning £22 billion through “efficiency savings,” which he skeptically called a “big ask.” Nicholson predicts that, if those savings aren’t earned, Britons could see a “managed decline” of longer wait times, more restrictions on drug availability, and other barriers to access to care. Not a pretty picture.


It's important to remember that the meltdown of the UK's National Healthcare Service is -- quite literally -- a preview of Obamacare's future, almost as if we had a time machine.

SECOND AMENDMENT: Ted Cruz Throws Down

By Mike Miller

At a recent event, GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz was asked the following question:

“In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, a statistic surfaced putting support for background checks at 90%. Did you go against the want of the nation with your vote against Manchin-Toomey (a bill that would have required background checks on all commercial sales of guns)?”

After patiently listening to the questioner read the prepared question, Cruz responded:

“You know there’s an old line: there are lies, damn lies and statistics. You’re right, that was a poll that was bandied around a lot, but you can find a lot of results in a poll depending on how you frame the question. As you and I both know, we have a system of background checks in place right now.

What Manchin-Toomey was trying to do was extend that to every private sale between two individuals … two guys in a duck blind selling their shotgun, one to the other. The federal government doesn’t have any business there.

When you asked about the role of public opinion polls, when it comes to Constitutional rights, what matters is what the Bill of Rights says. It doesn’t matter what happens to be popular at the moment.

The entire reason for the Second Amendment is not for hunting, it’s not for target shooting … it’s there so that you and I can protect our homes and our families and our lives. And it’s also there as fundamental check on government tyranny.”

Classic Cruz.

Obama's partners in peace rebuilding Hamas war machine in Gaza: tunnels, missiles and more

No wonder Israeli liberals and conservatives alike have aligned to oppose Barack Obama's diabolical plan to give Iran the bomb.

They see what's going on in Gaza -- where the Palestinian people are segregated from their fellow Arabs in Egypt by an apartheid wall that no one ever seems to mention -- as Iran rebuilds its terror proxy Hamas in order to wage another war with Israel.

Hamas has been diverting cement and construction material intended for civilian rebuilding efforts.

Israeli security officials confirmed that the terrorist group was digging tunnels at a rapid pace and trying to produce many short-range rockets in an effort to minimize interception by the Iron Dome defense system and cause maximum destruction against Israeli communities.

Iran sent Hamas tens of millions of dollars to help reconstitute the group's terrorist infrastructure, the Telegraph reported earlier this month. As news of a framework deal concerning Iran's nuclear program emerged, the Islamic Republic reportedly increased arms shipments to its terrorist proxies Hamas and Hizballah.

The Tower reports that Hamas has accelerated tunnel-building into Israel:

CHART: Tax Day is Almost Done, Here's How the Federal Government is Committing Fiscal Suicide

Courtesy of the Tax Foundation comes this ominous chart:


Here's what this chart tells us:

• The federal government has become a massive machine for wealth redistribution: it launders ever-increasing amounts of money through an expensive, outdated, wasteful, fraud-ridden bureaucracy and then tries to centrally manage the retirement system, the health care system, and the welfare system. It will, at the end of the day, have all of the success that the Soviet Union had.

• The core task of the federal government, which is protecting the American people, has become an afterthought. National security, in the form of defense or border enforcement, is a tiny fraction of the federal money-laundering, wealth redistribution machine.

Interest rates, which are at all-time lows -- suppressed by a Federal Reserve that has printed digital currency by the trillions -- will eventually go up. And, when rates go up, the results will be catastrophic across the board. Interest payments will squeeze out all other forms of spending, risking a complete collapse of the currency.

The idiots in Washington, both Democrats and establishment Republicans, have set the system up to implode.

We need a man outside the system -- a man like Ted Cruz, principled and steel-willed -- to start reforming this Rube Goldberg fiscal suicide machine.

Mia Love Obliterates Hillary Clinton With the Stroke of a Pen

Michael Cantrell relays this beautiful, concise riposte to the sleaziest candidate in modern American history.

Now more than ever, the American people require a president with a proven record of honesty and integrity. A president who believes America is an exceptional nation because it is built on a foundation of liberty and freedom. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton is not that leader. This is not about party, it's not about Washington, it's about us and what kind of country we want to leave for our children. If "our" United States of America is going to remain exceptional, we must expect more of those who wish to lead our nation.

In related Hillary news, the would-be empress held a "listening tour" on a college campus in Iowa (which means no one was allowed to ask her questions and students were actually locked in their buildings to prevent Hill from breathing the same air as the riff-raff).

Oh, and Hillary's 'unscripted' coffee shop sit-down with 'ordinary' Americans turned out to be just as phony as a jetsetter worth $200 million engaging in class warfare.


Lastly, it turns out that Congressional investigators (needless to say, the useless Darrell Issa) requested that Hillary answer questions about private email use while serving as Secretary of State... in 2012.

She ignored their requests and -- as is typical with the feckless, bumbling and complicit GOP establishment -- nothing ever came of their queries.

All in a day's work for "Inspector Clouseau Issa".

Remember when the Supreme Court actually put a judicial chokehold on fascism in America?

By Richard Ebeling

There was a time when the Supreme Court of the United States defended and upheld the Constitutional protections for economic liberty in America. This year marks the 80th anniversary of one of the Supreme Court’s finest hours, when it overturned Franklin Roosevelt’s agenda for economic fascism in the U.S.

The trend toward bigger and ever-more-intrusive government, unfortunately, was not stopped, but the case nonetheless was a significant event that at that time prevented the institutionalizing of a Mussolini-type fascist economic system in America.

On May 27, 1935, in a unanimous decision the nine members of the Supreme Court said there were constitutional limits beyond which the federal government could not go in claiming the right to regulate the economic affairs of the citizenry. It was a glorious day in American judicial history, and is worth remembering.

FDR’s Broken Promises for Smaller Government

When Franklin Roosevelt ran for president in the autumn of 1932 he did so on a Democratic Party platform that many a classical liberal, free market advocate might have happily supported and even voted for.

Was History Made Today?

By Dan from New York

In case you haven’t heard, the Senate today finally threw up a roadblock in front of Obama and his mad dash to give Iran the H-Bomb. Please consider: "Obama drops objection to letting Congress vote on Iran deal."

Oh, but that’s not the real headline, which is, "Facing Certain Override, Obama Caves in to Congress and Reality".

Reuters, 14 April 2015

U.S. President Barack Obama dropped his opposition on Tuesday to a bill giving Congress a voice on a nuclear deal with Iran after members of his Democratic Party negotiated changes to the bill that had won strong support from both parties.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama, who had said he would veto the proposed bill because it could scuttle the emerging Iran deal, could accept compromises that drew bipartisan Senate support ... The compromise bill passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously and is expected to pass the full Senate...

It requires the Obama administration to send the text of a final agreement to Congress as soon as it is completed, and blocks Obama's ability to waive many U.S. sanctions on Iran while Congress reviews the deal.

It allows a final vote on whether to lift sanctions imposed by Congress in exchange for Iran dismantling its nuclear capabilities
.

As far as I can recall this is the first time since his inauguration that one of Obama’s pet policy objectives has been turned back at the door. May this set a precedent for the final years of this disastrous presidency.

And may Congress go from strength to strength and help the American people take our country back!

Newly Discovered Tape from 1995: Obama admits he was mentored by vicious Communist Frank Marshall Davis

Interesting how this just turns up now, ain't it? Cliff Kincaid reports:

In an extraordinary development, film of Obama explicitly and openly identifying “Frank” as Frank Marshall Davis has suddenly surfaced on the Internet.

It is described as having been recorded on September 20, 1995, with the program originally airing on Channel 37 Cambridge Municipal Television as an episode of the show “The Author Series.”

Obama admits the mysterious “Frank” from his book Dreams from my Father is indeed the communist Frank Marshall Davis. But Obama does not reveal that Davis was a communist.

America’s Survival, Inc. President Cliff Kincaid discusses the significance of this discovery.

Click here to watch the video.

And click here if you don't know who the virulent Communist Frank Marshall Davis was.

And speaking of vintage media censorship of Obama's real background: I wonder what will happen when The Los Angeles Times decides to finally release the videotape of Barack Obama toasting Islamic terrorist Rashid Khalidi?

WHAT A RELIEF: Castro absolves Obama of fault for American "imperialist aggression"

I guess the entirety of the American population remains on the hook, but at least the genocidal dictator Raul Castro has abolved El Presidente from blame for our "meddling" (Obama's words, not mine).



Obama meets with genocidal dictator Raul Castro, the first U.S. President to meet with Cuba's leader since the Communist Revolution.
Cuban President Raul Castro recounted the history of U.S. "imperialist aggression" in Latin America in an address here Saturday at the 7th Summit of the Americas, although he absolved U.S. head of state Barack Obama of responsibility for those past actions...

"All (of the previous U.S. presidents) are indebted to us, but not President Obama," who is an "honest man ... with a manner about him that speaks to his humble origins," the Cuban leader said.

Castro also described as a "positive step" Obama's recent statement indicating he will soon make a decision on Cuba's presence on a U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.

"They say we're terrorists. And we indeed have acted in solidarity with many peoples that may be considered terrorists" under the viewpoint of "imperialism," Castro said, noting that he was referring to Cuba's humanitarian missions in various developing countries.

I suppose this is the least Castro could do after Obama formally apologized for "meddling" in Latin and South America as well as renouncing the circa-1823 Monroe Doctrine.

Ready to Defeat Hillary

By Matt Schlapp

After nearly four decades of single-mindedly chasing the Presidency, Hillary Clinton announced this weekend that she will again run for the White House in 2016. Never before has a Presidential candidate played so fast and loose with the truth as has Mrs. Clinton. From her refusal to shoot straight with the American people on the deaths of four Americans, including an ambassador, in Benghazi, to her unwillingness to play by the rules in the handling of her official emails during her time at the State Department, we have seen time and time again that Hillary Clinton thinks she does not have to follow the laws the rest of us have to follow.

Outside of pursing a radical agenda, it’s hard to see what, if anything, Hillary Clinton has done. Mrs. Clinton proved to be an ineffective Senator, introducing only two bills that became law during her eight years in the Senate, and she was equally ineffective as Secretary of State. Although she will brag about the tens of thousands of miles she has traveled around the globe, Mrs. Clinton’s global glad-handing resulted in no major breakthroughs. Furthermore, the world is more unsafe now than ever before. Whatever she actually did do during those thousands of miles has been conveniently lost to history when she scrubbed her computer clean in a brazen act of lawlessness.

Since 1992, Hillary Clinton and her husband have been at the center of an endless parade of scandals. After eight years of Barack Obama, the last thing we need is to extend his radical policies another four years with a President Hillary Clinton. Ready? We’ve had enough.

Obama Deal With Iran Leaves a U.S. Marine Behind

By Investor's Business Daily

Justice: A Marine veteran has been held captive in Iran since August 2011, when he was taken prisoner while visiting family and charged with spying. Does President Obama hear his plea for unconditional freedom?

With the exception of deserters like Bowe Bergdahl, those who put on a uniform and serve their country seem like afterthoughts to this administration, if they're thought of at all.

Just ask Andrew Tahmooressi, the Marine sergeant allowed to languish 214 days in a Mexican jail for the crime of missing a highway exit. Or now, Amir Hekmati of Flagstaff, Ariz., a Marine vet who sits in an Iranian jail, having made the mistake of trying to visit his Iranian family.

Hekmati has been locked up in Iran's Evin Prison since he returned to his ancestral home 3-1/2 years ago to visit family. His parents left Iran when the mullahs took power in 1979. He did not think he would later be a victim of Iranian belligerence and American indifference, accused of being a CIA spy. He was first sentenced to death, but that sentence was overturned, and in a retrial he got 10 years in prison.

Unlike Bergdahl in Afghanistan, Amir served with genuine honor and distinction in Iraq, where Shiite militia groups were supplied with weapons and trained in their use by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. These weapons included sophisticated improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, designed to exploit vulnerabilities in U.S. military vehicles and increase American casualties.

TRUTH: The Cure for Cognitive Dissonance

By Jim Quinn

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

Every time the BLS puts out their monthly propaganda report on the wonderful state of the U.S. jobs market and states with a straight face the unemployment rate is a measly 5.5%, their corporate mouthpieces in the mainstream cheerleader media regurgitate the fake numbers and urge you to buy stocks. The millionaire talking heads on CNBC and the corrupt bought off politicians in D.C. make broad sweeping declarations about economic recovery, strong job growth, GDP advancement, record highs in the stock market, and soaring consumer confidence.

The people living in the real world know otherwise, but they want to believe the “experts” and “leaders”. This dichotomy between reality and what they are being told is causing a tremendous amount of mental stress. This cognitive dissonance of attempting to reconcile what they are experiencing in their every day existence and the propaganda being peddled at them on a daily basis from big media, big bankers, corporate titans, and captured politicians pulling the strings and running the show, is causing psychological discomfort. Most people want their lives to get better, so to reduce their cognitive dissonance they choose to believe the government and media reports about economic improvement.

It is only a small minority who want to know the unvarnished truth. They are drawn to alternative media websites, which the the captured corporate media refers to as doom sites. These critical thinking individuals understand the facts. The Deep State propaganda has no impact on these people because they have no cognitive dissonance. They know things are far worse than what is reported by the government and their media whores. Knowing the truth and seeing how the majority remain willfully ignorant results in rising anger among truth seekers. Huxley was right.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE IS DEAD: Obama apologizes for all U.S. "meddling" in Latin America since... 1823

The Monroe Doctrine is dead. This key U.S. foreign policy, in place since 1823, made clear that foreign efforts to assert control over Latin or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression.


Obama meets with genocidal dictator Raul Castro, the first U.S. President to meet with Cuba's leader since the Communist Revolution.
No more stark example exists of the Monroe Doctrine than the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, possibly the closest the world has come to global nuclear war.

It was then that the iconic Democrat President John F. Kennedy "cited the Monroe Doctrine as a basis for America's 'eyeball-to-eyeball' confrontation with the Soviet Union that had embarked on a campaign to install ballistic missiles on Cuban soil."

Now this key, 192-year old American defensive strategem is no more.

Keith Koffler, writing at White House Dossier, relays the jaw-dropping news.

President Obama officially closed a chapter in U.S. history that has guided presidents since nearly beginning, indicating the United States will no longer act to resist overseas influence in the Hemisphere.

Obama, who spoke Friday during a “civil society” forum in Panama City, Panama, disparaged past efforts by the United States to forestall the spread of Communism in Latin America and suggested similar missions would no longer be undertaken.

The days in which our agenda in this hemisphere so often presumed that the United States could meddle with impunity, those days are past,” Obama said.

You read that right: Obama just apologized for nearly two centuries of U.S. "meddling".

The U.S. being, of course, the country that he "leads".

Also noteworthy: Mr. Obama announced that he is giving Cuba a free pass on its support for terrorism and Communist insurgencies around the world.

Oh, how I yearn for an American president.

PEW: Obama is the most divisively partisan president since we began surveying Americans

That's not how Pew phrased it. But that's what the accompanying graph, as relayed by Barry Ritholtz, depicts. It illustrates historical job approval ratings segmented by political affiliation of Americans surveyed.


Note the 67 point difference (we'll call it the delta) between Obama's popularity among Democrats and Republicans. That's the highest ever.

Bush 43 had a delta of 58. Clinton rang up a 53. Bush 41 was a 38.

And Reagan's delta was a 52.

Carter was an aberration with a delta of only 27, but that's mitigated by the fact that Carter's popularity among Democrats was incredibly low, which compresses the margin.

Put simply, Obama is the most nakedly divisive president ever. The science, as they say, is settled.

CRIMINAL: Feds order parched California farm district to use 9 billion gallons of water to save... 29 fish

No, this isn't an article from The Onion: "Should California Spend 4 Billion Gallons to Save a Few Fish?"

In the the heart of California’s drought-parched Central Valley, fruit and vegetable supplier to the nation, a water district is defying a federal order to give some endangered trout a 3.9 billion gallon water ride out to sea. And it could be the first skirmish in a much wider conflict.

The Endangered Species Act protects steelhead trout, a small population of which are attempting a recovery in the Stanislaus River, which flows out of the Sierra Nevada Mountains into Modesto, in the San Joaquin Valley. So earlier this week a federal fisheries agency—it’s unclear which one, and there are several— told the California branch of the Bureau of Reclamation (another water agency) that the fish needed more water to get out to the Pacific. The bureau in turn passed the order to the South San Joaquin Irrigation District, telling them to let a pulse of water through the dam on the Stanislaus.


It's unclear which federal fishery agency sent the letter? What the...? How many "federal fisheries agencies" do we need? Oh, but that's right, Democrats: there's nothing to cut in the vast federal bureaucracy. My bad.

But upon receipt, Jeff Shields, the manager of SSJID went rogue: “Whose water will be released down the Stanislaus River to satisfy the second pulse flow?” Not his, in other words.

It was the second such order in the past three weeks. The SSJID complied with the first. According to the Manteca Bulletin, a local paper that has been covering the standoff, this flushed out 15,000 acre feet of water and 23 steelhead trout. But this latest order, which would reportedly use another 12,000 acre feet to save only six fish, was too much for Shields. (Fisheries agencies haven’t yet confirmed that count.)


The two water "pulses" represent nearly 10 billion gallons of water that the feds want to use to save a grand total of less than 30 fish, when instead it could be used to irrigate farmland, feed and water animals, as well as meet residential water needs.

So Lewis said no to the Bureau, and then secured legal counsel. “We tried to work with the Bureau for the last several years. We’ve sent dozens of letters and ideas about how to manage the river more prudently and other issues that we felt needed to be addressed because they were affecting our water,” Shields told the Manteca Bulletin. “I understand that they’re busy and they have a river that they have to manage and water that they have to take care of, but we’re busy as well—we have water that we have to manage and people that we have to look out for as well.” According to Shields, this water is better used on human interests, like agriculture and homes.


These eco-Marxists are completely insane. Off their rockers.

The entire federal bureaucracy (I'm not including our defense and intel budgets) needs to be slashed by 75 percent. For starters.

SJP ("Hamas on Campus") Claims Another Head

Rich Baehr writes:

A distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Connecticut College for Women, Andrew Pessin, who once taught at Kenyon, has been hounded from his job after becoming a target by the campus SJP [Students for Justice in Palestine, a group dubbed "Hamas on Campus"], their faculty friends, and their fellow haters around the world, who bombarded the Professor with vicious email and threats. The "crime" Professor Pessin committed was using some colorful language in a post last August during the war in Gaza to describe [the vicious, terrorists known as] Hamas. Pessin’s real crime is that he is Jewish and pro-Israel, a combination which appears to make him unique among the faculty at this liberal arts college. The real assault on Pessin began six months after his original post during the war, and though he apologized to the student who claimed to have been offended, the campaign against him was in full attack mode by then.

I have attached below some articles that have been written on this issue to give you some background on Pessin’s case. He is currently on medical leave, living off campus for his own safety and sanity. Several months back, his wife had surgery for a brain tumor, and she has not fully recovered. Professor Pessin has his hands full, and he should not fight the evil coming at him alone.

I have provided below the email address of the President of Connecticut College. Feel free to let her know that the issue here is not a Facebook post, but a drive to make Connecticut College “free" of pro-Israel people. So far, the President has acted badly, creating a kind of moral equivalence between someone typing a Facebook post about Hamas, and the campus responding en masse, as if it had been mortally wounded by the post six or seven months after the fact, and turning with real ugliness on a once popular and respected Professor. In the last few weeks, the college has added three new Deans of Equity and Inclusion.

THE GRANDPAPPY OF OBAMACARE CIRCLES THE DRAIN: African AIDS Tourists Overwhelming England's NHS

Writing at The Commentator, Vincent Cooper shines a spotlight on the fiscal tsunami engulfing the United Kingdom.

...the NHS is so short of resources that patients in some areas had to be treated in a hospital car park. But if that is true, was not Nigel Farage right to condemn the health service for putting the treatment of foreigners above the needs of those who have paid for that health service and now find themselves being treated in a car park?

Mr Miliband’s solution to hospital car park treatment in the NHS is to promise £2∙5 billion in extra funding. But such a promise shows the Labour Party to be in total denial about the nature of the economic problems facing the NHS.

Consider this fact. Public Health England estimates that of the almost 108,000 people who are HIV positive, almost 60,000 are from Africa. The cost to the NHS of anti-retroviral drug treatment for these African health tourists is well over £1 billion annually and rising, as more and more Africans and others hear about what’s on offer from the tax payer.

And it’s not only HIV tourists. There is the same costly problem with Hepatitis B, another big crowd-puller from all over the world to the NHS, and a disease which can be even more costly than HIV to treat.

But the costs of health tourism to the tax payer are not confined to medical treatment alone. Many of those HIV tourists would be in receipt of housing and other welfare allowances, quite possibly for the rest of their lives.

...The British Labour Party, once a genuine British workers’ party, has now morphed into a fanatically pro-immigration welfarist party that uses the NHS for its own political ends. It turns all debate on the NHS into a party political competition about who will pour the most money into a voracious NHS bottomless pit.

Unless we eradicate the scourge of Obamacare, that's the future of health care here in the U.S.

Please consider: "The Marxist-Democrat Left is using illegal immigration to destroy America".

PATRICK HENRY: I fear the Constitution might lead to an Obama

By Patrick Henry

Your President may easily become king. Your Senate is so imperfectly constructed that your dearest rights may be sacrificed by what may be a small minority; and a very small minority may continue forever unchangeably this government, although horridly defective. Where are your checks in this government? Your strongholds will be in the hands of your enemies. It is on a supposition that your American governors shall be honest, that all the good qualities of this government are founded; but its defective and imperfect construction puts it in their power to perpetrate the worst of mischiefs, should they be bad men; and, sir, would not all the world, from the eastern to the western hemisphere, blame our distracted folly in resting our rights upon the contingency of our rulers being good or bad?

Show me that age and country where the rights and liberties of the people were placed on the sole chance of their rulers being good men, without a consequent loss of liberty! I say that the loss of that dearest privilege has ever followed, with absolute certainty, every such mad attempt.

If your American chief be a man of ambition and abilities, how easy is it for him to render himself absolute! The army is in his hands, and if he be a man of address, it will be attached to him, and it will be the subject of long meditation with him to seize the first auspicious moment to accomplish his design; and, sir, will the American spirit solely relieve you when this happens?
