Chris Matthews: Is challenging
Obama unconstitutional?

Washington Examiner, by Byron York

Original Article

Posted By:Judy W., 10/18/2012 8:20:01 AM

On MSNBC’s “Hardball” Wednesday evening, Chris Matthews discussed the theatrics of the presidential debate with James Lipton, longtime host of “Inside the Actor’s Studio.” Lipton offered some unremarkable observations — he called Mitt Romney “the boss who tells lame jokes and waits for everybody to laugh or else” — but what made the segment remarkable was Matthews’ reaction to a portion of the debate in which Romney in essence silenced President Obama, telling him he would have a chance to speak later. (Snip) After the clip ended, Matthews seemed appalled. “I don’t think [Romney] understands the Constitution

Is Chrissie going to turn into a real life Howard Beale on Nov. 7th? Can't you just see him screaming "Racists, everyone who voted for Romney is a racist. I'm made as hell and I'm not going to take it it anymore, the racists have ruined everything!"

He has hitched his entire future career to the Messiah's wagon, and the growing desperation in his antics is just plain fun to watch.

If the Messiah loses (he says with fingers crossed), look for Matthews to react so badly that MSNBC is forced to suspend him on November 7th and fire him later, just like his friend Keith Olbermann.

Chris Matthews is a joke. His views aren't worth the space to record them. It's people like him, and many others, who can't face facts and truth to these people doesn't exist.
They wouldn't admit to any real TRUTH if it hit them like a rocket. They will have their way by talking over anyone who disagrees with them and at the same time preaching tolerance and diversity and don't forget PC.

Chrissy has literally gone over the edge. When Romney wins, they will have to carry Matthews out in a straight-jacket. What a cry-baby! How can he keep defending the man who promised to cut the debt in half, but managed to triple it in less than four years. We are now over $16 trillion in debt and rising. It's like being on the Titanic as it quickly sinks.

It is Chris Matthews -a voluble fool- who does not understand the Constitution and the concept of the presidency.

He wants to reintroduce the crime of lese majesty -offending the dignity of the king.

But the president of the United States is referred to as Mr. President, not your highness, your excellency, or some other title of exalted rank.

The president is a citizen just like every other citizen. The office is not sacred. It is not derived from Divine Right and conferred by God. It is an elective office whereby Americans choose one of their own to occupy the presidency for a specific period of time.

The whole idea and principle of republican, representative government is at stake when people like Matthews seek to elevate the president and the presidency beyond the reach of confrontation, criticism, and yes, even rudeness. Though they seem not to understand it, they are on the path to idolatry, kingship, and serfdom.

Matthews is getting older, and frankly, some folks grow older better than others. The question is, is Matthews' mind healthy enough to be in public? That said, just because he's a blowhard with bolts loose in his head, I don't think Matthews should be allowed to say incredible things like that and not be questioned on it.

Matthews wants a Sun King - an all-powerful ruler who hands down edicts with absolute power.

Chrissy, that's WHY we had a Revolution a few centuries ago. Dear old King George was writing Executive Orders instead of including us in his supposedly representative government.

Obama is NOT a King Chrissy - he is a servant - and a very bad one. He is our Employee. Some of us have asked Mitt Romney to take him to the woodshed, because we ain't happy with him. Romney is obligingly doing so.

Romney, bless him, will then become America's chief servant and try to undo the mess your selection caused.

Chrissie, reaching for Constitutional straws, LOL. Flailing now. I love it.
In our non-monarchy, Chrissie, respect is earned. On that exchange with Romney, Obama got all the respect he is due, on that topic, and most any other topic.

Knowing Barry as we do, these debates, the sharp criticism, the questioning of him, the absence of adoration and deference, have got to be completely infuriating to him. I'm talkin' punch a hole in the drywall kind of infuriating. During the debate you could see the hatred and disdain for Romney, just oozing from Obama. Doting Mommie and GrandMommie didn't raise Barry to be criticized or questioned for that matter, ever!

Chris Matthews was denied a raise when he renewed his contract. Olberman got $7.5M/yr and Chrissy only $5M/yr.

So Chris connected the dots and concluded "I must be more like Olbermann." And I am convinced that this is nothing more than a basis for him to head back to the table, point out how he bent in directions only Olbermann had previously achieved, and then he could at least have a case for the $7.5M Keith got.

Despite his on-air idiocy, he isn't stupid and being more like Keith is his mantra every day. He knows that equals more money down the road. Principles? Sure, he has them however twisted they are, but at the end of the day. Money talks, Chrissy hawks.

We'll see if he renegotiates after the election...

Sam Parnia MD has a highly sought after medical speciality: resurrection. His patients can be dead for several hours before they are restored to their former selves, with decades of life ahead of them. Parnia is head of intensive care at the Stony Brook University Hospital in New York. If you´d had a cardiac arrest at Parnia´s hospital last year and undergone resuscitation, you would have had a 33% chance of being brought back from death. In an average American hospital, that figure would have fallen to 16%

Sowell: The central premise of multiculturalism is that no culture is superior to another. The proponents of this draw conclusions such as it is wrong for school teachers to insist that black kids from the ghetto speak standard English. The idea that no culture is superior is another fact-free premise. If you look at the actual history of any society, they borrow from other societies.

It’s the easiest thing in the world to be a pessimist, and the least American. We’re optimists, and as tough as things are, as many skirmishes as we’ve lost, we haven’t lost this country to the left quite yet. If you had to choose between being them or us, you’d be crazy to choose being them. We’re going to win, and America is going to rise again. Pessimism is a cop-out, an excuse to do nothing and wait for the end instead of figuratively fixing bayonets and charging head-long into the enemy.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday.

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Chelsea Clinton has raised her profile in the last few days, which sparked the inevitable question about the former first daughter´s future: Will she ever be like Mom and Dad and run for office? Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
