A boring judicial nominee hearing is a beautiful thing.
There should never be fireworks at Supreme Court nominee hearings anyway. To protect and uphold the Constitution is a pretty straightforward task, don't let Congress or POTUS shred it to pieces. Yet the right was annoyed by not getting Sotomayor to answer questions that would show her liberal viewpoints, and the left is starting to feel a bit edgy on how much she is for "the cause" because Sotomayor stuck to strict legal terminology and theory when answering questions.
I could not ask for more.
I really don't care what her views are if she is humanly able to squelch them in favor of upholding the Constitution. Heck if she never makes news again for the rest of her career as a Justice, America should be thrilled. That means the Court is leaving legislating up to legislators, who believe me do not need any help. I hope one day Sotomayor is a Jay-Walking question that some UCLA grad student makes a fool of themselves on.
Isn't that a measure of greatness for a Justice?

Apocolypse Now!
Which is the bigger joke, that health care can be free or that the government can improve the health of anything it touches? I suggest every loyal citizen take a course in first aid for you may soon find yourself on a central planned population control wait list for those excessive MRI's you have become spoiled on.
You see its not that the compassionate fascist are not sincere about healthcare reform, its just that the goal is not improved health, its reduced populations. An example is our brand new "science czar" (what a scary thought) who is quite convinced there are just too darn many of us running around and we've become quite a burden dear mommy earth. Ideas? Hmm forced abortions, or maybe a drug in the water or food supply to cause you guys to be shooting blanks. I am beginning to see the connections now, to save the environment we must reform healthcare just like to save the economy we must create green jobs and have healthcare reform. It's all so relevant yes?
I personally believe Americans would be much more receptive to such ideas as spermicide tap water if our leaders simply lead by example. For instance if you feel the earth is overpopulated, jump off a building. But you see the experts are just too valuable for us to lose; do as I say, not as I do.

The New Middle in a Post-Progressive Age
Why must the middle consist of wishy-washy parasites?
If a Congressman does not have strong beliefs, why would he or she run? Might I suggest power, wealth via public expense, lack of job skills?
Surely the American people could see through such perversions of governance.
The fact is true progressivism, liberalism, socialist-fascism, whatever you care to call it, is totally incompatible with Conservatism. There is no more a workable middle than there is common ground between oil and water.
Nor should there be.
You may ask how to solve this? Change the debate.
There is one political ideology that can achieve successful governance using moderation of its left and right wings. Libertarianism. Imagine how much freer the US would be if the political debate was between a secularist Libertarian and say a Religious Right Conservative with Libertarian coloring. The objective remains, minimize government in people's lives, no matter which wins. There would be culture war battles, but balanced budgets year in and year out would do more for this country than any short term takeover of power by either party we currently have.
What is needed is a revolution in the way Americans look at their government. When they see it not as a provider but a hindrance and danger, real progress and Liberty will naturally find their step as intended by the fathers of old.
