RSSSenator Casey’s Braggadocios Streak Should Haunt Him But It Probably Won’t
J.J. Jackson | July 3, 2009
Senator Bobby Casey has taken it upon himself to determine that I am interested in receiving emails from him about what he thinks are important things. Liberals seem to have this habit of just adding me to their mailing lists like this and imposing themselves into my daily life so why should Senator Casey be any different I suppose.
Anyway, Mr. Casey, whom I hesitate to call Senator because that is a title reserved for smart men of honor serving the people of these United States, sent me his latest little email news blast titled: “Barack & Bob” subtitled: “5 months of progress.” Hey, no one ever said liberals could tell the truth.
In it Mr. Casey promotes what he calls progress but what is actually typical liberal extra-constitutional “accomplishments” that destroy limited government and increase power over the people. But to him this is what he, as a liberal, calls “progress.”
He highlights “accomplishments” since our savior, Barack Obama, became President. These include:
The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act – This is an unconstitutional impediment in the realm of contracts which impedes the liberty of two private parties to agree to terms both agree is fair or part ways and choose not to do business together. There is no authority for “wage” controls any in the Constitution so don’t ask Mr. Casey to try and defend this action with anything resembling a reasoned thought or facts.
The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act – This is yet another unconstitutional law that “expanded opportunities for volunteerism and national service” and is yet another thing that exists no where within the powers of the federal government to promote or meddle in.
The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act – This is one of those laws that sounds really swell when it comes out of the mouths of liberals but once again has little real constitutional basis behind it. According to Casey this bill is great because it improves, “enforcement against mortgage fraud, securities and commodities fraud, and financial institution fraud.” The problem is that of course that our federal government has no right to delve into such regulation. Go ahead and look under every article of the Constitution if you like but you won’t find this power listed anywhere.
The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act – It sounds so nice but once again is something that our government has no authority to meddle in. The bill “helps prevent mortgage foreclosures and makes mortgage credit more available to most people.” So it is more of the same that got us into trouble in the first place proving that politicians do not care about reality, just buying votes. Easy mortgages to people that could not afford them was what started all this remember Mr. Casey?
The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act – Yes, another one of those feel good laws. Unfortunately what this law does is that it meddles with private contracts between two or more parties. Read the Constitution and you will see the founding fathers specifically forbade such interference by the states and never granted the power to the federal government (Article I, Section 10). Senators like Mr. Casey claim that credit card companies were acting “unfairly” when all they were doing was abiding by their own contracts which each of us agree to when we sign up for those little pieces of plastic. We may not like the terms but we often agree to them. And if you are like me, you just stop using the card that has ticked you off by increasing your rate in favor of another one. But apparently some people are not able to adopt a simple free market solution and prefer government interference beyond their Constitutional powers.
The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act – I don’t smoke beyond a cigar every couple of months but even I am offended by the government and Mr. Casey trying to promote this as a good thing. Of course the myth that smoking “causes” cancer (although it does increase the risk of it) has been readily debunked except in the eyes all but the anti-smoking zealots. All this law is is nothing more than another unconstitutional power grab. Go ahead and show me where in the Constitution the federal government is given the right to regulate a product like tobacco.
And then of course Mr. Casey is salivating over his chance to show his ignorance over the myth of manmade global warming!
American Clean Energy and Security Act – Which Mr. Casey boldly promotes as, “a bill to reduce global warming pollution and transition to a clean energy economy. The Senate will be considering similar legislation in the coming months.” Uh, anyone want to point out where in the Constitution Congress has any authority to determine what products and services Americans use and where they are given power to “transition” the economy to what they think it should be? It is not bad enough I suppose that the myth of manmade global warming has been utterly debunked except to the disciples of Al Gore either.
In conclusion, Bobby Casey continues to prove that he is a boy among the men of the world. He continues to act counter to liberty and promotes government intervention beyond the powers of our Constitution for his own betterment and security in his seat of power by spending us into oblivion. But he will be re-elected time and again by the people of Pennsylvania because he has a (D) next to his name. His actually qualifications and ability to uphold the Constitution and promote liberty be damned. Yet he boldly sits there from on high and brags about his heinous acts against this Republic.
Now where’s this hand basket headed again?

Re: Casey’s preference for cap and tax in a coal state, may I suggest an alternative?
American Energy Act, H.R. 2828 in the 111th U. S. Congress (January 3, 2009 – January 3, 2011)
This is a proposed act of Congress which is pro-nuclear energy.
“The American Energy Act establishes a national goal of licensing 100 new nuclear reactors over the next 20 years. With 31 announced reactor applications already in the pipeline, this goal can be achieved — and it will revitalize an entire manufacturing sector, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. The bill also streamlines a cumbersome regulatory process by offering a two-year, fast-track approval program for power-plant applications that employ safe reactor designs already approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ” – Wall Street Journal

Surely, the nuclear industry around Pittsburgh will benefit.
