Carly Fiorina – California Drought Emergency Caused By Liberal Enviro-Nazis Willing To Sacrifice Other People’s Lives..

Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and potential Republican presidential candidate, is one of the minority Republican Californians. She’s witnessed firsthand the destruction created through their rampant liberalism. She opposed Barbara Boxer in 2010 for her Senate seat, unsuccessfully. Oddly, Boxer is one of those whose extreme “environmentalism” and the associated government over-regulation has led to the current serious level of the effects of California’s drought.

In an interview with Glenn Beck on Monday, Fiorina said, “With different policies over the last 20 years, all of this could be avoided. “Despite the fact that California has suffered from droughts for millennia, liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.” She noted that as a result, 70 percent of California’s rainfall simply “washes out to sea” every year.

She said, “California is a classic case of liberals being willing to sacrifice other people’s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology. It is a tragedy. Government has grown so huge, so powerful, so costly, so complex, it is literally crushing the life out of this country,” she argued. “It is crushing small and family-owned businesses, which are the...

It has previously been shown that constitutionalism, by which is meant the general proposition that government should be restrained by well-defined principles and structures under which it operates (whether written or unwritten), depends up a recognition of the rule of law as reflecting natural law.

From this natural law arises the recognition, in turn, of the natural rights of individual citizens, which ought to be acknowledged and protected by just government, but which are not granted by any government. These principles, perhaps, find their purest distillation in the American Constitution, a short and simple document which provides a succinct summation of both the natural rights it affirms and a structure of government designed to preserve liberty.

This basis in natural law explains one of the greatest divides between the broad Left and Right, and shows us why one side (the Right) fights to hold onto our Constitution, while the other (the Left) fights to destroy it.

In many ways, what it all really comes down to is whether the rights that every individual has, and should enjoy, are “negative” or “positive” in nature, whether they are primarily “defensive” or “proactive.”

Those of us on the Right – liberty-lovers, traditionalists, conservatives, and...

In an order issued late Tuesday, federal district court Judge Andrew Hanen refused to lift the preliminary injunction he had previously issued stopping the implementation of the immigration amnesty plan announced by President Obama last November.

And in a second order, an obviously infuriated Judge Hanen said that the “attorneys for the Government misrepresented the facts” to the court.

Judge Hanen issued his injunction on Feb. 16 in the lawsuit filed by 26 states in a Texas federal court. On Feb. 23, the Justice Department filed a motion asking Hanen to stay his injunction pending an appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. On March 3, the Justice Department filed an “Advisory” with Hanen, informing him that between Nov. 20, when the president announced his new plan, and Feb. 16, when the injunction was issued, the Department of Homeland Security had begun implementing part of the president’s plan by issuing three-year deferrals to over 100,000 illegal aliens.

This despite the fact that...
