Is Donald Trump going to run for president in 2012?  Don't laugh.  It just might happen.  Up until now the truth is that very few people would have conceived that Donald Trump could possibly be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012, but now Trump says that he is "absolutely thinking about it".

Yes, you read that correctly.

Regarding a potential run for president, on Tuesday Trump told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" the following....

"I can tell you this - for the first time in my life, I am absolutely thinking about it."

In other words, fire up the engines because Trump is ready to rumble.

Of course he is not fully committing himself yet, as he added the following caveat during the same interview....

"I don't know that I'll do it. It's probable that I won't do it. But I can tell you, I'm thinking about it."

Now Trump will probably run a bunch of polls in states with early primaries to see if his candidacy would be viable.

In fact, all of this recent speculation has been brought on by a New Hampshire poll in which voters were asked 30 questions regarding their thoughts on Donald Trump as a presidential candidate in 2012.

Trump is denying that he was involved in the poll, but he says that he is very interested in seeing what the results were.

Apparently they were quite favorable for Trump.

So would he definitely run as a Republican?

Yes.

"If I were interested, I'd be a Republican," Trump told Time during a recent interview.

So is this actually going to happen?

Well, we will see.

But for now, Trump is at least talking like a candidate....

"We are losing this country. This country will not be great if something isn't done rapidly."

Apparently there have been some people that have been urging Donald Trump to run for president for years....

"I am being serious about it. I've been asked for years to do it. And I had no interest. This is the first time I am -- at least I'm considering it."

So would Trump position himself as a mainstream Republican or a Tea Party Republican?

The answer might not be as clear cut as many would think....

"I am a Republican but have great respect for what the Tea Party has done because they have brought to light what's going on. I mean, we have trillion-dollar deficits. ... The country is going bankrupt, let's face it."

In the end, Trump is going to do what is right for Trump.  Anyone with the kind of monolithic ego and the massive resources that Donald Trump possesses is going to be tempted to make a run for the White House at some point.  There seems little doubt that Donald Trump actually believes that he is fully capable of being the president of the United States.

So really, only one question remains.

Is Donald Trump going to run for president in 2012?

We won't get that answer for a while, but it sure would be entertaining.

Today, many among America's liberal ruling class have openly declared war on the U.S. Constitution. It turns out that the U.S. Constitution just does not fit well with the radical green agenda and European-style socialism that they are trying to impose on all of us. In particular, many in America's ruling class are deeply alarmed about the rise of the Patriot and Tea Party movements in recent years. Both of these movements stress fidelity to the U.S. Constitution and to the values that our founding fathers founded this nation on. Unfortunately for America's liberal ruling class, the values of our founding fathers were completely contrary to the direction that they are trying to take us in. They tend to portray our founding fathers as racist, sexist, homophobic neanderthals who did the best they could at the time. They insist on referring to our Constitution as a "living, breathing document", which is code for saying that they feel free to alter the meaning of it any time they wish, because after all, they know better. The truth is that the U.S. Constitution stands in the way of what America's ruling class is trying to accomplish, and so now many of them have actually resorted to openly trashing it.

These days you will rarely hear any liberal speak of the founding fathers with any kind of veneration whatsoever. At best, they will make excuses for them, and at worst they will openly mock and attack them.

The most recent round of Constitution bashing began with a Constitution Day lecture by Michael Klarman of Harvard University Law School at Johns Hopkins University on September 16th. His address was entitled "A Skeptical View of Constitution Worship", and it was a scathing attack on the U.S. Constitution.

Now keep in mind that this is someone from Harvard University Law School that is making these remarks.  At Harvard University Law School many of the future Obamas, Bushes and Supreme Court Justices of the world are being educated.  In many ways, Harvard University Law School is one of the pinnacles of the U.S. education system.

So the remarks you are about to read were not made by some radical professor at some obscure university.  These remarks were made by someone deeply embedded in the establishment.

In another day and age remarks like the ones you are about to read would have caused national outrage.  Klarman would have immediately lost his job and would never be put in a position to teach others ever again.  But today the world is a much different place.

The following excerpt from Klarman's speech summarizes his four key points about "constitutional idolatry"....

I have four points I want to make today against constitutional idolatry, which is my label for our misguided tendency to blindly worship the Constitution, giving it credit for all the things we love and honor about our country.

(4) The rights protections we do enjoy today, the importance of which I do not minimize, are mostly a function of political and social mores, which have dramatically evolved over time and owe relatively little to courts using the Constitution to protect them.

As you read through the rest of Klarman's speech, you can almost feel the hate that he has for the U.S. Constitution rising off the page.  You can find a full transcript of the speech right here.

A columnist writing for The Economist picked up on Klarman's remarks and published an article with this disturbing headline: "The Perils Of Constitution-Worship".  It is an open secret that The Economist has deep ties to America's liberal ruling elite and the big money interests behind them, and so it was only natural for them to jump on the bandwagon.

Right away the article in The Economist made it abundantly clear who the real targets of the article were....

At almost any tea-party meeting you can expect to see some patriot brandishing a copy of the hallowed texts and calling, with trembling voice, for a prodigal America to redeem itself by returning to its “founding principles”.

Yes, the liberal elite love to bash Tea Partiers.  They represent everything that the liberal elite believe is wrong with America.  In the article, those who support the Tea Party and believe in the U.S. Constitution are portrayed as "infantile"....

Indeed, there is something infantile in the belief of the constitution-worshippers that the complex political arguments of today can be settled by simple fidelity to a document written in the 18th century.

According to the article, when we revere the Constitution and the values that this nation was founded upon, apparently "truth is the victim"....

When history is turned into scripture and men into deities, truth is the victim. The framers were giants, visionaries and polymaths. But they were also aristocrats, creatures of their time fearful of what they considered the excessive democracy taking hold in the states in the 1780s. They did not believe that poor men, or any women, let alone slaves, should have the vote. Many of their decisions, such as giving every state two senators regardless of population, were the product not of Olympian sagacity but of grubby power-struggles and compromises—exactly the sort of backroom dealmaking, in fact, in which today’s Congress excels and which is now so much out of favour with the tea-partiers.

But the Constitution bashing was not done yet.  Just a few days ago Joshua Keating had an article entitled "Are Americans Too Constitution Obsessed?" published on the website of Foreign Policy - the official magazine of The Council on Foreign Relations.  Considering the fact that every single U.S. Secretary of State since the 1950s has been a member of the CFR, it is very disturbing that they feel free to bash the U.S. Constitution as well.  In fact, those who know the history of the CFR know that it has an absolutely enormous amount of influence over the U.S. government.

In the article, Keating makes the following statement....     

I also suspect most Americans don't realize quite how old the Constitution is by world standards.

And that is what liberals want us to think - that the U.S. Constitution is archaic, that it is outdated and that it simply does not work in the modern society that we are now living in.

But they are wrong. 

A republic can still work in 2010.

Individual freedom and liberty can still work in 2010.

Limited government can still work in 2010.

The Bill of Rights can still work in 2010.

But liberals are becoming increasingly open about the fact that they want to take all of those things away from us.  They are no longer afraid to publicly bash the U.S. Constitution. 

In fact, many of them are willing to do just about anything to impose their version of a politically correct socialist paradise on all of us.

A war on the U.S. Constitution has been declared.

Will the American people rise to defend it, or are we about to lose the Republic that our founding fathers fought and died for permanently?

10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Islam

#1 "Islam has always been part of America"

#2 "we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities"

#3 "These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."

#4 "America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."

#5 "So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed"

#6 "Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality"

#7 "As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith."

#8 "I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month."

#9 "That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."

#10 "I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story."

10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Christianity

#1 "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation"

#2 "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation."

#3 "Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?  Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination?  Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?"

#4 "Even those who claim the Bible's inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages - the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ's divinity - are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life."

#5 "The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics."

#6 From Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope: "I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex—nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount."

#7 "I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell.  I can't imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity.  That's just not part of my religious makeup."

#8 "Those opposed to abortion cannot simply invoke God’s will--they have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths."

#9 On his support for civil unions for gay couples: "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount."

#10 "I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people."

The U.S. Supreme Court has just issued a decision which is going to further push Christian groups on college campuses into the background.  In a 5 to 4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that a state law school can refuse to recognize a Christian student group that "discriminates" against gay students and other non-Christians.  While this decision is not going to change that much in the short-term, the truth is that it sets the stage for some earth-shattering legal decisions in the future.  For example, the Supreme Court could use the same reasoning to rule that any church that "discriminates" against homosexuals should not receive an income tax exemption because it does not comply with anti-discrimination laws.  Also, localities across the country could decide to start refusing to give building permits to churches because they openly "discriminate" again homosexuals and it looks like the U.S. Supreme Court is going to back them up.  The truth is that the implications of this decision are absolutely staggering.

So exactly what were the facts of this case?   

Well, this case had originally been brought by the Christian Legal Society at the University of California-Hastings College of Law.

School officials had refused to recognize the Christian Legal Society and grant it student-activity funding, meeting space and other privileges because they said that the group "discriminated" against gays students.

But the group did not specifically "discriminate" against homosexuals.  What they did was require that group members adhere to standards of Christian morality which included not being involved in sexual immorality.

But today if you insist on sexual morality that means that you are a bigot.

This is what America is turning into.

Dissenting from the Supreme Court decision were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Writing for the dissenters, Alito states that this new decision, "arms public educational institutions with a handy weapon for suppressing the speech of unpopular groups."

Indeed it does.

Christian groups all over the United States are now going to be pushed off campus.

But that is only the beginning.

Eventually churches and Christian organizations across the United States are going to lose their tax exemptions because they supposedly "discriminate" against gay people.

That is where things are headed.

Taking a stand on sexual immorality is going to increasingly get Christians into trouble in the years ahead. 

So decide right now where you are going to stand.  Because things are not going to get any easier.

Barack Obama's latest nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, is almost certain to be confirmed, and that is truly frightening news for America.  Why?  Because the truth about Elena Kagan is beyond shocking.  When she is confirmed, she will become the most liberal member of a Supreme Court that is already extremely liberal.  She is radically pro-abortion, extremely sympathetic to the gay agenda and has no respect for life whatsoever.

Just consider a few of the startling facts that have come out about Elena Kagan....

*After the election of Ronald Reagan, a young Elena Kagan openly yearned for a more "leftist left".

*As an aide to President Bill Clinton, Kagan took a lead role in fighting a Republican bill to limit abortion.

*Kagan once referred to the Pentagon's Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy as "a profound wrong—a moral injustice of the first order".

*One newly produced document from the Clinton archives has revealed that Kagan once defended ex-President Bill Clinton's veto of a bill to ban partial-birth abortions.

*White House memos from 1997, when Elena Kagan was a top domestic policy advisor to President Clinton, show that she recommended that the Clinton administration permit cloning of human embryos for research purposes.

Cloning of human embryos for research?

Is that the kind of future we are headed towards?

Well, the answer is yes if Elena Kagan has anything to say about it.

The truth is that Elena Kagan would give new meaning to the term "liberal activist judge".  Between Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, the Democrats now have a liberal core of judges on the Supreme Court that could last for decades.

America cannot afford for Elena Kagan to be confirmed, but with the Democrats firmly in control that is exactly what is going to happen.

This is yet another indication of just how far America has fallen.

The United States is heading straight into the moral toilet, and we have nobody to blame but ourselves. 

What a horrible nation we are becoming.
