Obama acts as though we no longer have a Constitution
The American left cares so much for humanity that it even expends copious draughts of compassion toward us, toward you and me, toward suave, degage conservatives. The left's members really fret over how elements of the "extreme right" are undermining the Republican Party, consigning it to oblivion.
Journalists and pundits can't figure out if the Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare is New Year's Eve, Halloween or Armageddon. Will the moment of truth be celebration, masquerade or destruction?

"There has been no significant change in public views on the issue of gun control and gun rights following the shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. Currently, 47 percent say it is more important to control gun ownership, while 46 percent say it is more important to protect the rights of Americans to own guns. That is virtually unchanged from April, when 45 percent prioritized gun control, 49 percent gun rights. Other recent major episodes of gun violence, such as the 2011 Tucson, Ariz., shooting and the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting, also had little effect on public opinion about gun laws," reports Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center.
