Chuck Asay sifts the events of the day through his biblical worldview and tries to persuade readers to see things his way...that rights are given by a higher authority than the governments of men, that mankind is not the ultimate arbiter of truth and that our Constitutional Republic is worth protecting. Chuck believes ideas, not politicians rule the world. He tries to protect ideas which he thinks are good and attacks ideas he thinks bring harm.

“As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.” – DEUT 20:10-14

@Chillbilly
Ummm, what are you saying here? That we should follow every instruction we find in the Bible? Or maybe destruction is the only answer?

Interesting that Bush and Co.‘s shoving the Constitution into an industrial shredder doesn’t rate a peep from Chuckie but the stupid ruling of an activist judge is considered sacred because it’s against someone you don’t like.

Odrama has said it again and again that he doesn’t think the Constitution should be the reason he didn’t do whatever he wants.

If it’s happened “again and again”, it should be easy for you to cite an example or two. Can you?

@Darsan54
How do YOU know what “Chuckie” feels about “Bush and Co” ?
.
Are you under the impression that when someone makes a political statement they have to go back in history and show every incidence of the same issue being done by everybody somewhere/sometime else??
.
The Left’s stupid argument: “Bush did it! Bush did it! Bush did it!”
.
Can’t any of you guys argue any issue on its own??
.
It’s lame when you’re only argument is to divert attention away from the issue instead of discussing the issue directly.

@Darsan54
Can you point to anything that Bush and company did that was not constitutional?
Hope and change is clearly outside of the constitution. But that is probably Bush’s fault.

@Mr. King
No, you are wrong. Te difference is that while Bush made recess appointments, the Senate was actually in recess. But you get to use whatever definitions you like.

@Mr. King
If I was back in history and there was a cartoon about it, I would be all there discussing the issues with you.
.
Can’t you stay in the present without blaming someone else? We would never get anywhere if we had to bring up every similar incidence from history. Good grief.

Chuck, we(at least the group I’m from) don’t think of Moses as the law giver -I’ll grant that “law deliverer” sounds odd. Moses didn’t part the sea either. In fact we go over that every sedar. As for your other panel Obama could come out and say “My fellow Americans ….2+2= 4” and you would call that divisive.

Wow! You really ARE drinking Obama’s cool-aid!

@Mr. King
There are three judges in the Federal Court of Appeals that ruled against President Obama because, unlike previous presidential recess appointments, the Senate was not in recess. It was in a pro forma session. Only the Senate gets to decide when it is in session – not the President. Having said that, my hope is that this scenario forces Congress to do away with pro forma sessions, as they are used by both parties to subvert other processes.

Or you could cite where O has followed the letter of the laws?
