Brannon Howse
Some dare call it Secrets revealed! Brannon Howse is a Christian conspiracy theorist and radio host. His variant on the classic New World Order conspiracy has so many people in on it, it's actually much easier to describe who isn't on the inside (an incredibly small group of hardcore premillenialist protestants Howse calls "the remnant") than those who are. The Catholics, the United Nations, scientists, liberals, gays, etc. etc. are all out to continue the evil plots the Jews used to be doing in the early 20th century. Their motivation? It's all for the greater glory of Satan, of course.While Howse is a paranoid conspiracy theorist in the classic mode, he has his own unique spin that combines both the black helicopter fantasies of the extreme right survivalist types with the End Times wingnuttery of fundamentalist Christianity.Howse's rhetorical style is charitably described as "unique," more accurately characterized as "throwing shit to see if it sticks." Every time he mentions the name of someone he doesn't like, he follows it with a long list along the lines of "who I believe is a Keynesian, a Fabian socialist, a communist, a Marxist, a radical, a Fascist" without offering any proof that the person is any of these things. Strangely, he always states that this is just "his opinion," possibly for legal reasons. It starts of annoying, gradually becomes fascinating and hilarious, and eventually morphs into a kind of bone-deep depression about the human race. It's difficult to tell if he actually thinks each of these epithets would be providing new information about the person (Oh, they're not only a Keynsian but also a Fascist! Thanks, Brannon) or if he thinks his audience is so stupid that he must constantly repeat all the things he thinks his words mean. Either possibility is depressing. Howse also has a talent for saying the most batshit insane things in the most deadpan manner imaginable, such as when he stated "Hitler was of course possessed by a demon" and then moved on from there to talk about National Socialism's lasting impact without doubling back to the whole "Adolph was inhabited by a malefic spirit" thing.Howse remains convinced that the relatively harmless (though totally pointless) practice of contemplative prayer is occultic. He constantly claims that people are involved in pagan spirituality (which is, of course, code for demon worship) or the one world government. He has argued that Rick Warren is actually a marxist change agent, that transhumanism will eventually lead to the recreation of the Nephilim through demons posing as aliens, that Russia is still communist, and that the fed is deliberately devaluing the US currency in order to move us toward socialism. It is quite clear that there is literally nothing too stupid for Howse to believe, so long as it fits into his ideas about the world and God.Like Glenn Beck, he acts as a paid spokesman for gold sellers promoting the gold standard over floating currency. Apparently, this is the "Biblical" form of currency. This point of agreement is somewhat strange, since Howse's most recent claim to fame has been his constant attack on Beck, Mormonism, and the generic feel-good religion-esque Beck is fond of employing.

- "[I]f the policy of the government upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties, in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."-- Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865) 16th US PresidentSource: First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861, Washington, D.C.
"When courts fail to engage in oversight or even distort the Constitution to rationalize the ultra vires actions of government, and when academics and political activists aid and abet them in this activity by devising ingenious rationalizations for ignoring the Constitution’s words, they are playing a most dangerous game. For they are putting at risk the legitimacy of the lawmaking process and risking the permanent disaffection of significant segments of the people."-- Brannon P. DenningSource: Brannon P. Denning, And Randy Barnett, CantThe Simple Cite Be Trusted?: Lower Court Interpretations of United States V. Miller and the Second Amendment, 26 Cumb. L. Rev. 961-1004 (1996).
"You seem ... to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps.... Their power [is] the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves."-- Thomas Jefferson(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US PresidentSource: The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Jarvis (September 28, 1820).

- When I went to law school, which after all was back in the dark ages, we never looked beyond our borders for precedents. As a state court judge, it never would have occurred to me to do so, and when I got to the Supreme Court, it was very much the same. We just didn't do it.

Hispanics Say They Have the Worst of a Bad Economy
A majority of Latinos believe that the economic downturn that began in 2007 has been harder on them than on any other group in America, according to a new national survey of Latino adults. Large shares report that they or someone in their household has been unemployed in the past year (59%); that their personal finances are in "only fair" or "poor" shape (75%); or that they are underwater on their mortgage (28% of Latino homeowners). However, Latinos are more upbeat than others about the prospect for better days ahead.Read the full report for more results from the survey, including:- Data on household wealth, unemployment and poverty rates for Latinos

- At least the one we speak with? You never hear Krauthammer mention the Constitution as a major issue nor any other Conservative talking head?? They are afraid to open Pandora's box, believe they know the truth - it is just to quote Al Gore "INCONVENIENT."None of them like to be embarrassed with replay videos so they just shut up - It is like the SCOTUS cases on the 10th amendment nullification - the biggest story of the decade and it is like dead silence - all are treating it like the third rail - touch it and you die.
