Call to Congress!
Socialize talk radio once and for all!
While America sat in stunned disbelief that the Socialists could turn American freedom into a soft dictatorship and Castro hailing Obamacare as a miracle the talkinghead over at MSMBC radio is calling for Venezuela type takeover of talk radio. He states, "hell if we are going to be Socialists, lets go all the way"!
The socialist wonder why their talk radio format doesn’t work or resonate with the public!

“Obamacare will eventually control the people”
From Dingell’s lips to Gods ears!
The “Chairman Emeritus of the Committee on Energy and Commerce” was caught on audio tape uttering the words to a fellow Democrat “Obamacare will eventually control the people”.
One of the main themes that Glen Beck has championed for any and all to hear is that this massive Government takeover of 1/6th of the American economy through this legislation is because the Marxists (Democrat Leadership) want the power over our lives.
As a result, Beck has had his life threatened and the net roots on the left have attacked this prediction as “extreme right wing hatred rhetoric”.
Now that this life controlling legislation has passed through underhanded political maneuvering and outright bribes with the peoples money the lawsuits are streaming in from ¼ of the US States Attorney Generals (with more predicted in their wake).
Democrats, fearing the legislation will be overturned before the ink dries on this corrupt and Marxist move, a full court press has ensued to label those in opposition (Republicans and Tea Party grassroots) racists.
Unsubstantiated claims by black lawmakers were treated to racist remarks and were spit upon when entering the chambers by tea party protesters got momentum when Fox News Bill O’Reilly repeated the claims without providing a scintilla of proof to corroborate the claim. Immediate outcry poured into Fox phone lines and emails forcing O’Reilly to issue a clarification (spin in a “no spin zone”) to explain away his laziness and bias.
It is no wonder why O’Reilly hitched his wagon to the ever growing popularity of Glen Beck to travel the country with him in their “road show”.
Dingell took over his father’s seat, who by the way was the first Democrat to introduce the first health care bill ever introduced for Congress consideration.
The arrogance of the Marxist is on display because they truly cannot contain their exuberance in the victories towards tyranny.
We have, in last few weeks alone have heard Al Sharpton declare that “America knew they were voting for Socialism when they elected Obama”.
We have heard Nanci Pelosi joking that “in order to see what’s in the Legislation we will have to vote on it first”.
We have heard from Alcee Hastings (D-FL), who by the way was impeached from the Federal Judicial bench for corruption and perjury to eventually find a home in the Congress, say “We have no rules here; we make them up as we go along”! Hastings, a member of the House Rules Committee bragging there are no “rules here”.
Finally we must not forget Joe Biden’s “F” bomb when whispering in Obama’s ear after the signing of the legislation.
He was right, this is big but not in the manner in which they revel in their short lived victory because America is angered at this usurping of our Constitution by a bunch of ex-1960’s radicals that are intent on toppling this great nation to replace it with Obamazuela.

It’s not what you say it is how you say it!
The difference between real and scripted
So, now we are a socialist nation.
Zell Miller speech, Part I
Zell Miller Speech, Part II
Over the past year, which seemed like forever, the American public has soundly rejected the notion of “socialized healthcare” for all. We have rejected the process in which those who are in the majority have foisted upon us by deception, secrecy and trickery. We have seen through the lies and deceptions by listening to our internal radars that what the Democrats are peddling doesn’t jive with reality. In the end it all came down to two speeches that first heartened then sickened us.
I have embedded both speeches below. I have placed them in the order in which they were given (Boehner then Pelosi) and after viewing them you decide which is real and which is scripted in deception and lies.
I sat and watched the speeches that John Boehner first gave and then the one followed by Nanci Pelosi. The contrasting speeches cemented the dynamics of the science of effective communication. The speech that Boehner gave was, in all measures, a great one. I place it with such lofty speeches that were given by Ronald Reagan (Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall) and Zell Miller in 2004 as the guest speaker for the Republican National Convention.
The speech that Nanci Pelosi gave was flat and obviously scripted with the lies and deceptions paraded one by one in a rehash of the past year. She stumbled and bumbled through it like a nervous high schooler speaking before an assembly. She trotted out fake American values, which are only reasoned by her ideology and interpreted through the socialistic lense fitted into the American Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
The two speeches were the difference between real (Boehner) and fake (Pelosi). The tenor and tone of both politicians has shown beyond mere words which person represented us and which person means to enslave us.
Boehner gave his speech from the heart which obviously was grieving at the impending loss of our fragile democracy to those who wish to transform this country into some bastardized version of European elitism while Pelosi gave her speech without conviction of heart, but subversion and elusion.
In 2004 Zell Miller gave a similar heart felt speech just 3 years after 9/11 when one of Barack Obama’s own was attempting to gain control of the White House on a platform of anti-US sentiments. The Kerry/Obama vision that America is what is wrong with the world. The same Obama that, when elected, immediately began an “apologist tour” of the world to spew the rhetoric of this view of America. It was this view that angered the masses as soon as he opened his mouth on the first trip abroard and continued up through yesterdays so called “historic vote”.
Here is an excerpt of the Zell Miller speech that said it all (keep in mind he was a Democrat that abandoned his party because of his deep American values):
“And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators. Tell that -- Tell that to the one-half of Europe that was freed because Franklin Roosevelt led an army of liberators, not occupiers. Tell that to the lower half of the Korean Peninsula that is free because Dwight Eisenhower commanded an army of liberators, not occupiers. Tell that to the half a billion men, women and children who are free today from Poland to Siberia, because Ronald Reagan rebuilt a military of liberators, not occupiers.
Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American soldier. And, our soldiers don't just give freedom abroad, they preserve it for us here at home. For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag who gives that protester the freedom he abuses to burn that flag. No one should dare to even think about being the Commander in Chief of this country if he doesn't believe with all his heart that our soldiers are liberators abroad and defenders of freedom at home.
But don't waste your breath telling that to the leaders of my Party today. In their warped way of thinking America is the problem, not the solution. They don't believe there's any real danger in the world except that which America brings upon itself through our clumsy and misguided foreign policy. It is not their patriotism -- it is their judgment that has been so sorely lacking. They claimed Carter's pacifism would lead to peace -- they were wrong. They claimed Reagan's defense buildup would lead to war -- they were wrong. And no pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often than the two Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry. Together, Kennedy/Kerry have opposed the very weapons systems that won the Cold War and that are now winning the war on terror."
The MSM and the Democrat talking heads have been in full spin mode telling America just how “obstructionist” and non-bi-partisan the Republicans have been throughout this ordeal. They hope to convince you that this is not what Barack Obama has intended when it comes to his campaign promise to reach across an isle that has no intention of grasping that hand in return. Well, the American public in an overwhelming fashion stands shoulder to shoulder with the Republican and Democrat defectors on this issue and rejects the deception of socialism disguised as a sheep in wolves clothing.
In fact, the only bi-partisanship is in opposing the takeover of 1/6th of the US Economy. The vote ended with 39 democrats siding with Republican rejection (voting NO) while no Republicans moved to side with the YES crowd. Throughout the ordeal the Republicans have stood firm in their opposition at every instance.
John Boehner
Nanci Pelosi
When you hear the words of Zell Miller in 2004 it is relevant to the Democrats in power today. They want to push domestic socialism as their main focus and leave every other aspect of the American foreign policy, national security, domestic economics and jobless people hanging and swinging in the wind.
They are in for a reckoning later this year and honestly believe we won’t remember what they have done and what they are intending to finish in transforming the greatest nation in the world to that of a third world dictatorship.
The question is, are you as fired up as Zell Miller John Boehner and the majority of Americans? You should be because no sooner than the vote occurred and America became, well, something it should not be did Al Sharpton make the bold claim that Americans knew they were voting for Socialism when the voted for Obama! Don’t take my word for it, see it spewing from the mouth of an ardent socialist and former Democratic Presidential aspirant.
So, now we are a socialist nation!

The Democrats just sealed their political fates.
Republicans continue their solid opposition with help of some Democrats!
Now, let the political bloodbath begin. There is not a rock, corner, closet or hiding place that they will be able to run to now that they have boldly usurped the will of the American people.
The absolute abuse of power and the arrogant “in your face” elitist attitudes that the majority has exhibited against the majority of Americans is, well, stunning in its display.
The floor speech that Rep. John Boehner gave before the so called “historic vote” was, in my opinion as electrifying as the speech that Zell Miller gave at the Republican Convention. Boehner’s relentless opposition as the Republican point person has elevated his own political clout as well as Rep. Paul Ryan.
When the Republicans take back the majority of the House of Representatives in November, which I will boldly prognosticate here and now, because the anger of America public will reach a crescendo there is some serious Congressional investigations that need to occur.
Here is my list:
ACORN
The promises made to Joe Sestak by the White House
The promises made to Brad Stupak by the White House
The foreign campaign contributions made to Obama
A line by line scrutiny of the HC bill and who was paid off in the way of bribes for support of their yes votes
Complete investigation into influence peddling of Unions and the benefits they received for their financial support
Investigation of the Presidents ties to William Ayers, ACORN and the Chicago/Illinois political machine
Investigation into the Presidents appointment of Czars and the constitutionality of them
Investigation into the expenses and trips made by Senate/Congressional Democrats and their use of military assets for personal use
Investigation into the "State Department Passport breach" and the subsequent murder of the sole cooperating witness in DC
The list of course is still ongoing and anyone who wants to add to this thought process is free to do so……
Can you say “Three hots and a cot”?

Say hello to the man who will be responsible for infant deaths!
Stupak will go down in history as the “baby killer”!
So, he calls himself “pro-life” when in fact he is just another Democrat that will have the blood of innocents on his hands.
I have been telling every Conservative that praised this man for his “heroic” stance against the abortion provision within the bill that at the end of the day he is still “just another man with a “(D)” behind his name. Unfortunately for me, I was right. He has voted with the Democrats 96% of the time so there was no expectation of turning a corner here.
He sold out the future souls of countless Americans that will never see the light of day and will never have the chance for “Hope or Change”. I wonder if his Catholic faith will be enough to sustain him spiritually when the upcoming political bloodbath in the upcoming November elections aborts him from Congress.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Does the HC Bill contain taxpayer funded abortions?
Rep. Boehner says yes, Nanci Pelosi says no?
Here you have Pelosi emphatically denying that abortions will be funded by taxpayer funds in the bill. On the other hand you have Rep. Boehner insisting that it does as well as the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The following is from CNS News – “The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a 13-page document explaining why the Senate bill allows tax dollars to funded abortion.
“Of the two bills, only the House bill conforms to current law on abortion funding,” reads the document. They credit that to Stupak’s amendment.
“Thus under the Senate bill, notwithstanding ‘the segregation of funds’ provision, federal subsidies will be used to help expand access nationwide to abortion coverage,” reads the document.”
Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) released a statement warning that President Obama and congressional Democrats are seeking to thwart the will of the majority of Americans that there not be taxpayer funding of abortion.
“To force their government takeover of health care through Congress, House Democrats will have to pass the Senate bill, which includes a loophole that would permit government funding of abortion and an ‘abortion premium’ fee that forces taxpayers to subsidize insurance policies covering abortion,”
So, who do you believe?
On the one hand, you have the ultra liberal from San Fransicko telling us, no and on the other hand you have a room full of Catholic Bishops telling us yes. So, who do you believe?
Don’t take my word for it, follow the sources.
It is important to remember the other emphatic denials made by the President and Pelosi that the bill does not create death panels to ration care because of the unsustainability of costs.
Between Barack and a hard place
MSM coverage of anti-war protest, but mum on tea party?
(Photo from commentarama)
The crowd estimate for the anti-Obama, er anti-war protesters stand at roughly 10,000 (by their estimates) while the anti-Obamacare protesters stood at roughly 30,000. Which do you think received MSM coverage?
Don’t get me wrong in spite of the lack of coverage and sticking their heads in the sand hoping the opposition just goes away (anti Obamacare opposition that is) the fact that the far left crowds are just as angry at Obama goes to show the precarious political position the Democrats are in. On the one hand, the far left will be angry at Obama if his healthcare policies fail to reach fruition. Though the left fringe crowd (his base) is a definite minority the President and the Democrats are in a no win situation which goes to show how incoherent it is to be Democrat.
Either way, the Democrats are in a bad spot and you can say that they will shoot the moon on healthcare because basically they have nothing to lose as they know they will get routed in the November elections. Their only hope is to appease the far left and get the only money they can from the Unions to make a show of it.
If they don’t vote yes, the Unions have already threatened their political lives by stating they will not fund them.
The Union money is their only hope for competing for further incumbency.
It should be bedlam later today as the House tries to vote on the bill. Something in me thinks they still don’t have the votes and as a result of the anti-Obamacare March yesterday already resulted in the “slaughter house rule” thingy.

Factoid of the day!
The Capital Hill Switchboard’s toll free number where callers from around the country are inundating to demand the death of Obamacare has a unique statement when you convert the digits into alpha characters. It spells –
SOB-USOB (877 762-8762)
Can you see now that Congress has a healthy disdain for their constituents.
SOB-USOB (877 762-8762)

Chart of Obama’s agenda
From our friends at “Tea Party Patriots” on face book and spotlighted on Welcome to Trigger blogspot’s article titled “Democracy Denied”.
If anyone is wondering why there is so much distrust with our elected leaders just follow the chart. Is it any wonder why, when a political party (Democrats) have an absolute choke hold on power and do not need any votes from the opposition (Republicans) still cannot get the policies enacted through normal constitutional democratic processes. Could it be that the policies are too socialistic for their own party in addition to any opposition from the other side? You betcha….

Stamp out the Health Care Legislation!
In 1765 the British imposed “the Stamp Act” on America’s Colonies.
In 1766 the British repealed their legislation.
“The Stamp Act met with great resistance in the colonies. It was seen as a violation of the right of Englishmen to be taxed only with their consent—consent that only the colonial legislatures could grant. Colonial assemblies sent petitions of protests, and the Stamp Act Congress, reflecting the first significant joint colonial response to any British measure, also petitioned Parliament and the king. Local protest groups, led by colonial merchants and landowners, established connections through correspondence that created a loose coalition that extended from New England to Georgia. Protests and demonstrations initiated by the Sons of Liberty often turned violent and destructive as the masses became involved. Very soon all stamp tax distributors were intimidated into resigning their commissions, and the tax was never effectively collected.
Opposition to the Stamp Act was not limited to the colonies. British merchants and manufacturers, whose exports to the colonies were threatened by colonial economic problems exacerbated by the tax, also pressured Parliament. The Act was repealed on March 18th 1766 as a matter of expedience, but Parliament affirmed its power to legislate for the colonies “in all cases whatsoever” by also passing the Declaratory Act. This incident increased the colonists' concerns about the intent of the British Parliament that helped the growing movement that became the American Revolution.”
Taxation without representation was the rallying cry that led to this repeal and thus the impetus for the “American Revolution”.
The current push to impose the Government’s will over the electorate is similar in nature and has become the modern day impetus for a new “tea party” grassroots movement. The constitution is suppose to protect us from tyranny of a run-away federal power grab and the compulsory nature of the demand that citizens purchase a product that the government tells you are required to do under penalty of fines and jail is, well, unconstitutional.
Further more, the way that the majority in power is handling this forced legislation over the condemnation of the majority of States and people is unconstitutional. If we let this unchecked power grab succeed, they have already announced further “non-votes” on immigration amnesty; cap & trade and a whole host of other intrusive and destructive socialist policies.
The word “Impeachment” has now reached the level of consciousness in the press when it comes to the President, Pelosi and the majority of those who have taken an oath to protect and preserve the constitution and have decided instead to abridge it.

The current push to impose the Government’s will over the electorate is similar in nature and has become the modern day impetus for a new “tea party” grassroots movement. The constitution is suppose to protect us from tyranny of a run-away federal power grab and the compulsory nature of the demand that citizens purchase a product that the government tells you are required to do under penalty of fines and jail is, well, unconstitutional.
Further more, the way that the majority in power is handling this forced legislation over the condemnation of the majority of States and people is unconstitutional. If we let this unchecked power grab succeed, they have already announced further “non-votes” on immigration amnesty; cap & trade and a whole host of other intrusive and destructive socialist policies.
The word “Impeachment” has now reached the level of consciousness in the press when it comes to the President, Pelosi and the majority of those who have taken an oath to protect and preserve the constitution and have decided instead to abridge it.
Shocking news – “Census has an image problem”
New poll finds reluctance and trust at heart of the matter!
When President Obama pulled the Census duty in house it began. This announcement came at a time when the rock star President still had swooning support from his recent historic election.
We were told early on by his mouthpieces that he would enlist his army of “community organizing pals, and unions” to go forth and count. The word ACORN came up consistently in these announcements and thus the trust quickly began to erode.
To counter the image problem that ACORN brought to the equation, a government spending spree ($14.7 billion dollars) unimaginable in past times also began.
As Newsmax puts it – The unprecedented spending included “cool new Nascar sponsorship, or its friendly videos, multiple public service announcements, hot lines in six languages, traveling "Portrait of America" road tour, "director's blog," comic books and celebrity endorsements.”
Carrot and stick approach:
Again, Newsmax states (Carrot)– “Politicians, community groups and interest groups, meanwhile, are already tabulating how many funds - and congressional seats - their respective regions could stand to lose if the citizens don't participate.
Sen. Sherrod Brown, Ohio Democrat, was one of many lawmakers who did the math this week. He figured that his state would lose $12,000 for every person who didn't return their census form.”
(Stick) – Criminal provisions are attached to the Census if you fail to cooperate with the information gathering process. United States Code. Under 13 U.S.C. �221(a), the federal statute states as follows:
Whoever, being over eighteen years of age, refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instruction of the Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in connection with any Census or survey provided for by subchapters I, II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title applying to himself or to the family to which he belongs or is related, or to the farm or farms of which he or his family is the occupant, shall be fined not more than $100.
Under 221(b), anyone who willfully gives any answer that is false, shall be fined not more than $500. The last section under 221(c) states that no person shall be compelled to disclose information relative to his religious beliefs or to membership in a religious body.
First, the maximum fine for refusal to fill out the form or any part of the form is $100. Second, if you fill out the form but willfully insert a false answer, the fine shall be not more than $500. Thus choosing between the two, if one simply does not fill out the form, the fine is less, but if you fill out part of the form and place a false answer in part of the form, the fine will be higher.
So, the questions sit on your dining room table awaiting your response. The big question is – are you going to comply or are you going to engage in a bit of “civil discourse”?

The biggest fish of all would be afforded the right to remain silent!
Eric Holder explains he is no different than Charles Manson.
So, if Osama Bin Laden was captured on the battlefield tomorrow, he would be read his maranda rights and booked into custody, afforded Habeas Corpus rights and sent to a trial of his peers.
This is the most outrageous disconnect from reality that I have ever witnessed. If he was caught and given extra-ordinary interrogation (included water boarding) would he not be the “biggest” fish of all that would have the most intelligence to be garnered for future attacks by al-qaida here and abroad? Would you not think that his “right to remain” silent is a bit dangerous to human lives, everywhere?

Obama refuses to campaign for those who vote no!
I think this should come as a relief!
It is a fact that what ever Obama seems to want and then travels to garner support for it, be it the Olympic Chicago bid, Governor Corzine or Martha Coakley, it ends in disaster. In fact there are jokes emanating from all quarters that Obama is “the kiss of death”.
To further the White House arm twisting they have now included another strategy – Any Democrat that votes no should not expect Obama’s help in the upcoming elections in the way of endorsements or actual appearances.
Talk about empty threats. This Administration, particularly Obama himself, is losing supporters in throngs, daily.
His threats are even less credible than his words.
I believe he should leave the arm twisting and threats to his Union thugs and sit this one out because he is generating little fear these days.
The audible sighs you hear coming from the Democrats are not out of fear, but instead are of a collective relief that he will not show up at their campaign events.

The reckoning!
A stark look at the big picture!
I sat down to take stock of the events and path for this push the Democrat Party has embarked America on in their quest for Universal Health Care Coverage. I tried to sit down and look at the big picture, to see past the partisan clamoring (or din if you will) that is emanating in the echo chambers of the news coverage.
To do this I needed to ask myself a few questions first and hope that I myself did not fall within my own category of political belief.
When George W. Bush was President and 9/11 occurred our elected leaders sought out to achieve a level of National Security through a multi-pronged approach of seeking out this elusive enemy by offensive means (“smoking the terrorists out of their caves”) and updating our own internal laws to keep pace with technology that they employed (cell phones, computers and advanced communications monitoring).
During this period the Democrats and their allies in the media (New York Times, LA Times, CBS, MSMBC, CNN, etc) worked very hard to expose these “Top Secret” programs (interrogation techniques, secret prisoner rendition flights, bank monitoring programs and email/cell phone eavesdropping) to the public in order to discredit the Administration.
Why do I mention this as part of my big picture look? Because, this push for Health Care is not a “national security” issue yet the same players who exposed national secrets in the press and on the Legislative floors during our “war on terror” are so secretive in their efforts to keep this Health Care Legislation information from the public it is a good and prudent question to ask.
Why do they operate in total darkness in this non security issue when they shine lights in every corner on sensitive intelligence information?
Next, the level of focus given to this Health Care bill over every other issue both foreign and domestic is troubling on many fronts. Every poll, including polls by liberal water carrying outlets, have shown conclusively that the support has always eroded from the beginning to the point that the majority of Americans of all political persuasions do not want this bill.
Also, despite an overwhelming objection from the constituents they press on. Once again you have to look at this tunnel vision and compare it to the past. With our economic situation in tatters and 10% of Americans out of work (30,200,000 million) and two wars being prosecuted abroad the Democrats will not let this issue go.
They spew the liberal anti-business rhetoric of “big insurance companies = bad”, “big pharmacy companies = evil” and horror stories of poor people being denied life saving health care. They insist that it is our duty and our utmost priority to “fix the system” and give this responsibility to those who are responsible for the failures of the Post Office, Social Security, Medicare and literally every other government run program.
They complain that the Republican Party is evil because of their partisan efforts to thwart this Legislation. They have labeled them the party of NO. The Democrats do this when they had an absolute majority in the House and Senate where they enjoyed the strength of overcoming all obstacles due to this majority. They had the power to stop any filibuster or over-ride any “Presidential veto” (as if that would happen).
Yet, it is the opposition within their party that has stopped this Legislation from becoming the law of the land. It has become so unpopular to some Democrats that some of them are starting to announce their retirements ahead of the mid term elections because they are trailing in polls so badly. Their own political destinies have become so toxic because of their support for this legislation they have personally chose flight vs. fight for re-election.
The legislation is so bad and so unwanted that the Democrats have had to resort to bribing some legislators with serious amounts of money for their states like Nebraska (Corn Husker Kickback) or Louisiana (The Louisiana Purchase). In addition, this was pre-empted by bribes to big Pharma and the Medical Association Leadership (including AARP) and concession carve outs to Big Labor Unions with the “taxation of their Cadillac Plans”.
Finally the last piece of the big picture is the length that the Democrat Leadership is taking to pass this unwanted legislation through unprecedented means. We first heard of the rhetoric that “elections have consequences” when they held a 60 seat super majority in the Senate. Then we heard that the leadership would employ the “nuclear option” against Republican filibuster threats when they lost the 60 seat majority. Though they still have not overcome the internal party hurdles in getting this legislation past a vote due to eroding support we have heard the term “reconciliation” thrown about. Then they learn that if they utilize this arcane procedure (which only applies to Tax and Budget items) they will lose a lot of the portions of the bill that do not apply to this maneuver they have now started talking of changing the rules which the press has dubbed “the Slaughter Rule” after the “Chairman, House Rules Committee Slaughter”.
Now, we hear Pelosi pulling out yet another ace up her sleeve to force this legislation through without any votes being taken at all. According to the Washington Post – “
The tactic -- known as a "self-executing rule" or a "deem and pass" -- has been commonly used, although never to pass legislation as momentous as the $875 billion health-care bill. It is one of three options that Pelosi said she is considering for a late-week House vote, but she added that she prefers it because it would politically protect lawmakers who are reluctant to publicly support the measure.
"It's more insider and process-oriented than most people want to know," the speaker said in a roundtable discussion with bloggers Monday. "But I like it," she said, "because people don't have to vote on the Senate bill."
Recap:
The Democrats keep this legislation more secret than they have historically our “national security” secrets.
The Democrats are unable to sway the American public, Republicans and even members of their own party opinions of passing this bill in spite of overwhelming majorities in both the House and Senate.
The Democrats resort to bribing industries, lobby groups and certain elected officials to garner some support.
The Democrats, when losing their super majority in the Senate threaten to utilize a procedural maneuver called “reconciliation” to pass the bill without a vote but are not content with that move due to losing portions of the legislation that do not fit the procedure (forced purchasing of insurance, abortion provisions, etc).
The Democrats now are talking about rewriting the House Rules to pass the legislation without a vote, but are now abandoning that tactic and replacing it with a stronger tactic called the “self-executing” rule that will protect those Democrats who will not vote for the bill despite extreme pressure from Democrat lobby groups, the White House and member of their own party.
The extreme left of the Democrat Party is hell bent on passing this legislation in spite of the impossibility of it through our democratic processes. I read an interesting article yesterday titled “What If” – “What if the Health Care bill passes”?
“First, there will be the reaction of the majority obviously mad as hell that the Constitution has been shredded, the rule of law has been neglected, and the wishes of a Marxist president have trumped common sense! Then there will be the reaction from the MSM which will serve to accentuate the positive (outright lies and fantasy projections) and ignore the negatives.
From the vast majority of Americans we will see a variety of displays of anger. Tea Party membership will soar, the GOP will blast away using every ally in the media, and November should be a bloodbath for the Democrats.
There will be legal battles and perhaps even the Supreme Court will get into the Constitutional aspects of such an intrusion of the federal government into the private sector. But then again, Government Motors exists as does a near monarchy that can dictate salaries and conditions of those running businesses in what used to be the land of free enterprise. You may have heard that once Health Care Reform becomes law and part of the federal bureaucracy that will be forever. Don’t bank on it! (Oh, I forgot about the government control of the banking industry.)
The Dems will get their prize, the rest of us get crappy healthcare. And if you don’t buy the federal health plan you may go to jail—where you will get free health care. Now that makes sense!”
What If Health Care Doesn’t Pass?
First we will see the Barack Obama Vacation Tour. BHO will have his landmark legislation beaten back—and will use it as a crying towel for the remainder of his one term. But even trying reconciliation to ram it through—trying to push it on America in spite of its unpopularity—will leave a bad taste for many that will linger all the way to the midterm elections. Either way, those who do not heed the voice of the people will hear the deafening clicks of the voting machines registering solid “R”s in a few months.
There are many scenarios we could predict but I leave that up to the readers. Americans reaction to a year plus of Obama has run the gamut from utter despair to unchecked anger. Whatever emotional level you’re at my advice to you is simple: Whether Health Care reform passes of not, GET EVEN!
But do so within the confines of the system which has yet to be dismantled by the socialist forces hard at work in Washington. Continue to gather your news and information from credible sources like CFP and other outlets which owe nothing to the federal government.
The Democratic Party today is setting the stage for its own obsolescence. There is much work to do before November and before 2012. There will be a massive cleanup effort needed beyond Obama’s one term. But it will be a work of joy and relief and restoration.”

“The King of Soul” has gone missing!
The body of James Brown is said to be in hiding! A case of "Wherabus Corpus" is afoot.
The late James Brown has gone missing and the illegitimate daughter said it is because she was pressing to have his body exhumed for autopsy which had never been done.
She believes that her father’s death was not due to natural causes and was in the legal process to have an autopsy.
LaRhonda Pettit came forward after the singers death and submitted to a DNA test that proved she was 99.9% positively his daughter.
Details will emerge when a full investigation is completed……

Eric Massa – Poster Child for “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
The MSM makes the argument against repealing the policy!
President Obama, Joseph Biden and even high ranking military generals have caught the political correct bug and have begun another run at repealing the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.
The highly publicized push has been in the headlines for the last 30-60 days and seems to be on the verge of possibility. They argue that gays should be allowed to serve openly in the military without fear of retribution. Sounds nice, right? Feels good, right?
The coherence in the military chain of command needs to be firm and personal distractions prevent that coherence. This is why homosexuals in the military are not so popular not to mention that the majority of Americans are against it.
Now, Representative Eric Massa has been in the headlines lately for his “unwanted advances” of a sexual nature against male staffers. This issue is what sunk (no pun intended to his naval service) his political career which, by the way, I must remind the readers that Congress does not have a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy of their own.
It is ironic that the MSM, who are champions of the efforts to repeal the military policy on gays openly serving in our military are now drudging up Massa’s homosexual behavior while he served in the Navy.
According to a former subordinate shipmate of Massa’s this behavior of “unwanted homosexual advances” was prevalent during his Navy service (see video here). I guess the shipmates didn’t get the memo that this behavior is acceptable to the Democrats who are active in repealing the policy! I think they just refuse to watch Keith Overbite.

Obama ancestors unearthed in Kenya!
Proof, beyond a shadow of doubt that he is a giant political figure!
In a remote desert area within Kenyan borders archiologists were following leads to the resting place of ancestors of Barack Obama. It all began in a coffee shop in Mubassa when an archiologist named Kirit Dubois had an interesting conversation with a local vendor who had described a very detailed and colorful tale about the man most Kenyans call one of their own.
Dubois, who was wrapping up another dig in the area at the time was struck by the accuracy of the details he heard and upon further discussion thought an exploratory trip to the area was worth investigating. Utilizing modern day Satellite imagery and GPS technology unheard of in earlier times, Dubois set off in a rattling Range Rover along with a team of collegues with the man who weaved the tale.
After 3 days of searching the area they hit the jackpot and found that a tribe of Giant humans that date back thousands of years had once thrived in a utopian, collective society until their ultimate demise at the hands of Religious zealots.
The dig had remained secret since its inception in 2008 until enough of the remains could provide a sample for DNA testing which was completed in mid 2009 and due to Mr. Obama’s tough and tight schedule, his sample for comparison was finally obtained to confirm that he is directly related to these Giants.
Rahm Emanuel commented that he was pleased that proof is finally delivered that his boss IS a giant among men but added that he knew this all along as well as a hugh following of his supporters. Mr. Emanuel was quick to add that though the remains were found in Kenya it does not prove that his boss was born there.
Disclaimer: These photos are an obvious hoax and this article is meant for political satire! Just because these Giants have not been discovered it does not mean Obama believes his is a Giant of a man.

After 3 days of searching the area they hit the jackpot and found that a tribe of Giant humans that date back thousands of years had once thrived in a utopian, collective society until their ultimate demise at the hands of Religious zealots.
The dig had remained secret since its inception in 2008 until enough of the remains could provide a sample for DNA testing which was completed in mid 2009 and due to Mr. Obama’s tough and tight schedule, his sample for comparison was finally obtained to confirm that he is directly related to these Giants.
Rahm Emanuel commented that he was pleased that proof is finally delivered that his boss IS a giant among men but added that he knew this all along as well as a hugh following of his supporters. Mr. Emanuel was quick to add that though the remains were found in Kenya it does not prove that his boss was born there.
Disclaimer: These photos are an obvious hoax and this article is meant for political satire! Just because these Giants have not been discovered it does not mean Obama believes his is a Giant of a man.
The “Slaugherhouse” Rules
Drafting and crafting the “Ramming procedure”!
The latest on the “Health Care” bill has revealed that for the talk of the Democrats plans to ram this bill through to the President’s desk by using the “reconciliation” (or as the Democrats have renamed it the “simple majority”) process it was learned that the “Chairman of the House Rules Committee” has a more sinister plan in mind.
Louise Slaughter (aptly named) is busy crafting new rules that will allow the bill to circumvent the reconciliation process altogether. The Democrats are calling this latest power grab “the Slaughter Solution”.
It goes like this – “"House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter is prepping to help usher the healthcare overhaul through the House and potentially avoid a direct vote on the Senate overhaul bill, the chairwoman said Tuesday.
"Slaughter is weighing preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill passed once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes to the Senate version.
"Slaughter has not taken the plan to Speaker Pelosi as Democrats await CBO scores on the corrections bill. 'Once the CBO gives us the score, we'll spring right on it,' she said."
Each bill that comes before the House for a vote on final passage must be given a rule that determines things like whether the minority would be able to offer amendments to it from the floor.
In the Slaughter Solution, the rule would declare that the House "deems" the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House. House members would still have to vote on whether to accept the rule, but House members would be able to say they only voted for a rule, not for the bill itself.”
On the same day that this revelation came to public light the President was busy traveling the country in campaign mode to “educate the masses on why the healthcare bill is more important than jobs creation”. It is interesting that as the President was on approach to his latest speaking venue his motorcade had to wind its way through throngs of who took time out of their day to educate the President, yet again, that we don’t want his stinking bill. To be fair, there were also pro-healthcare supporters in the crowd. Yet in Obama socialist fashion he told the crowd in Missouri that “the time for talk is over” – he has decided.
Why not, his ally in the House has been busy finding the way to circumvent the “talking/debating” process and it is time for a little “force feeding”.
If you think that I am being overtly dramatic and taking a little literary license here with the facts by drawing this conclusion, well maybe I am but consider the “author” of the rule change (Slaughter).
There are a number of pot holes in this road to passage and one of the biggest in the House was those members who opposed the Senate version because it contained the “government funded abortion provision”. If you remember when the House was going through its gyration in getting this narrowly passed bill completed Pelosi and company had to allow the Stupak-Pitts amendment into the bill which stripped the abortion language from the bill.
The Stupak–Pitts Amendment, an amendment to the Affordable Health Care for America Act, was introduced by Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan. It prohibits use of Federal funds "to pay for any abortion or to cover any part of the costs of any health plan that includes coverage of abortion" except in cases of rape, incest or danger to the life of the mother,[5] and was included in the bill as passed by the House of Representatives on November 7, 2009. – wikipedia
As a result, Slaughter went before her collegues on the floor to lament the necessity of the government funding for abortion to prevent “back alley” procedures, a favorite visual argument of the pro-choice groups (see video below).
Never mind that there is already established legislation on the books, since 1976 that bars federal tax dollars that fund abortion.
This feminazi isn’t just an abortion fanatic she is also an anti first amendment zealot. I use this term not because she is the author of this new House rule that circumvents the democratic process of debate over healthcare by imposing a rule that kills that notion. I say this because “In early 2005, she authored the Fairness and Accountability in Broadcasting Act, or FAB Act, which would reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, which has been criticized as an attempt to silence religious and conservative broadcasters”
Representative Slaughter has single-handedly devised methods in which to squelch opposition to her radical views. In the fairness doctrine legislation she crafted a way to silence religious opposition (which is one of the largest anti-abortion lobby groups) as well as conservative talk radio which Democrats have not been able to compete with, thus the failure of Air America. If it wasn’t for the federal dole that provides funding for “Public Broadcasting”, PBS would have gone the same route.
So, the President say’s the “talk is over” and Slaughter is ensuring that it is! Can you say sinking poll numbers, angry Americans and a House cleaning in 2010! The Democrats are seriously misguided if they think that this rule change will provide incumbents with political cover by being able to say to angry constituents that "hey, I didn't vote for the Healthcare bill I voted for a rule change"! The Democrats are still of the belief that we (the American public) are too stupid to connect these dots.
Well, the Democrats do not seem to care because their behavior screams “damn the torpedo’s, full steam ahead!”

It must be rough for “poll watching Democrats”!
The “One” just doesn’t have what he thought it takes!
The “One” who swept into office on a tidal wave of “Rock Star-like” fashion leaving a wake of fainting females in his path is now considered a “One hit wonder”!
If you recall, the “O” gave an inauguration speech that was described as great as “Martin Luther King’s I have a Dream” speech. He was in office a mere two weeks when he was nominated and then subsequently won the Nobel Peace Prize. The term “fast track” to fame is an understatement to those who try to explain his meteoric rise in greatness.
The honeymoon was short by anyone’s standard. It must be extremely painful for those in the Democrat ranks who follow polls like adherents follow the Pope. At a time when the “One” hit the campaign trail to try to convince the American public, yeah those same fainting and swooning crowds that his “health care bill” is what ails us his poll numbers have taken a big hit on many fronts.
You know the Democrats are “illing” when a “pro-military” war movie wins Oscars for best Film & Director awards in Hollywood.
The latest poll (Democracy Corps) that bills itself, cough,,,, cough…., as an “Independent non-profit organization dedicated to making the government more responsive to the American people” has release the following (please keep in mind that Democracy Corp was founded by James Carville):
“51 percent to 41 percent -- Americans think the standing of the U.S. dropped during the first 13 months of Mr. Obama's presidency.”
On the national security front, a massive gap has emerged, with 50 percent of likely voters saying Republicans would likely do a better job than Democrats, a 14-point swing since May. Thirty-three percent favored Democrats.
"The erosion since May is especially strong among women, and among independents, who now favor Republicans on this question by a 56 to 20 percent margin," the pollsters said in their findings.
A May 2009 survey by the pollsters found the public saw the Democratic and Republican parties as equally able to handle national security (41 percent trusted Democrats more, and 43 percent trusted Republicans more.) On conducting the war on terrorism, the two parties were tied at 41 percent.
The Democrats' gap on national security has widened on several other fronts:
• "Keeping America safe": Democrats now trail by 13 points (34 percent to 47 percent.) The gap was just 5 points in July 2008.
• "Ensuring a strong military": Democrats trail by 31 points (27 percent to 58 percent.)
• "Making America safer from nuclear threats": Democrats trail by 11 points (34 percent to 45 percent,) "despite the president's strong actions and speeches on steps to reduce nuclear dangers," the pollsters said.
The poll, conducted late last month, found "the administration's response to the Christmas Day terrorist attempt has contributed to the erosion."
"While public polling showed that initial approval of Obama's response was above 50 percent, two months of Republican criticism have taken a toll. Now a narrow 46 to 42 percent plurality of likely voters say they feel less confident about the administration's handling of national security because of how it responded to the incident," the pollsters said.
In addition, the detention of terrorist suspects and the Obama proposal to prosecute suspects in civil trials in New York City, which was later abandoned, also have taken a toll on the president's approval ratings.
"Whereas a majority of the public approves of the job President Obama is doing in most aspects of national security, a 51 to 44 percent majority of likely voters disapproves of his efforts on the prosecution and interrogation of terrorism suspects," the pollsters found.
Of course it doesn’t help the Democrats cause any when in the throws of losing their identity and popularity they are seeking to ban fishing in this country. I guess the “O”, or his fellow travelers never had their father (or fathers) take them fishing as lad’s!

The Dahmer Democrats are “eating their own”!
The wheels are coming off the Democrat bus!
Democrats go from “Bush’s fault to “Rahm’s fault”!
Michael Moore v. Obama and the Democrat Congress
"Each morning you and I will do 100 jumping jacks and you will repeat after me: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ELECTED ME, NOT THE REPUBLICANS, TO RUN THE COUNTRY! I AM IN CHARGE! I WILL ORDER ALL OBSTRUCTIONISTS OUTTA MY WAY! IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T LIKE WHAT I'M DOING THEY CAN THROW MY ASS OUT IN 2012. IN THE MEANTIME, I CALL THE SHOTS ON THEIR BEHALF! NOW, CONGRESS, DROP AND GIVE ME 50!!"
Rep. Eric Massa (D) v. Democrats
“The freshman upstate Democrat departed Congress on Monday after leveling lurid charges that fellow Democrats conspired to do him in. He even accused the President's chief of staff of threatening him - in the nude.”
ACLU v. White House
The ACLU placed a full page add in the NY Times calling on President Obama to stay the course in trying the “alleged 9/11” conspirators in civilian courts and not to reverse the Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision.
“Letter from Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union, to President Barack Obama urging him to uphold the decision of Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice to charge and try in federal criminal court those Guantanamo detainees alleged to have had a role in the attacks of September 11, 2001.”
Democrat Party v. Rahm Emanuel
“Some of those efforts to weaken Emanuel are coming from inside the building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, one Democrat strategist said.
"There are people in the White House who are trying to get rid of Rahm, and they are leaking everything they can," said the strategist, who is close to Emanuel. "Some of its personal, some of its professional[ly] judgmental, but there is no doubt there's an effort."
Those critics think Emanuel is "too close to the Blue Dogs in the House and too ready to compromise."
“Democrats in Congress are holding White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel accountable for his part in the collapse of healthcare reform.
The emerging consensus among critics in both chambers is that Emanuel’s lack of Senate experience slowed President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.
The share of the blame comes as cracks are beginning to show in Emanuel’s once-impregnable political armor. Last week he had to apologize after a report surfaced that he called liberal groups “retarded” in a private meeting.”
Rahm Emmanuel v. David Axelrod
“In the days of the old Pravda, one could determine who was winning secret Politburo power struggles by just looking at the official Soviet newspaper. Those winning simply got better press.
Perhaps it may be no different here in the United States.
This week two of the heaviest guns in American media, The Washington Post and The New York Times, unloaded their missiles at Obama adviser David Axelrod while heralding White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel as a centrist and pragmatist.”
Martha Coakley v. White House and DNC for Massachusetts loss
“They took the summer off.”
That didn’t take long; before all of the ballots have been counted certain democrats are blaming the White House and not Martha Coakley for the devastating loss in Massachusetts today. Mary Ann Marsh blames Obama and not Coakley for the loss.”
Howard Dean v. Senate Democrats
“Passing the healthcare proposals before Congress will "hang out to dry" every Democratic incumbent running for reelection this fall, Howard Dean said Thursday.
"The plan, as it comes from the Senate, hangs out every Democrat who's running for office to dry -- including the president, in 2012, because it makes him defend a plan that isn't in effect essentially yet."
Dan Rather v. Obama’s watermelon selling abilities
“Dan Rather says President Obama is articulate but "couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." - (video)
Majority of Americans v. Obama
As the majority takes to the streets for tea party protests and town halls the Democrats are now giving us something to be proud of, the complete annihilation of the far left nut jobs who have hijacked the party of centrist Democrats. The resulting cannibalistic behavior that is increasing by the day is a direct result of the frustration that the Statist’s are failing in their effort to “fundamentally transform America”!

A funny thing happened on the way to a resignation.
Eric Massa angry town hall meeting
Eric Massa informs he intends to un-resign.
Eric Massa has come out in front of the cameras yesterday to tell the world that he resigned because he was being forced out by his own party due to his intentions to vote “no” on the health care bill.
Hmmmmmmm
The press conference was interesting on many levels and I decided to investigate his claims a little further (you know, I just don’t trust them Democrats at their word).
The decision of mine is based on a couple of reasons:
1. Eric Massa had prior announcements that his decision to retire/resign was due to health reasons (he stated he has end stage cancer). If this is true and you couple it with his statement that he now intends to vote NO it could be because the bill would be a death sentence for those in similar circumstances.
2. I wanted to piece together the framework of how the Democrats “eat one of their own before they threw him under the bus”.
The first thing I did was research his vote on HR3200 (House version of Health Care bill that passed on 11/9/09 by a margin of 5 votes 220-215). Eric Massa voted YES.
So, now we are to believe that he will vote NO. There is some plausibility to this as the House is being asked to pass the Senate version, which differed from the House version so I drilled down some of the differences between the two. Here are the differences:
Abortion: The Senate bill has the provision that funds abortion from tax payer money, the House version did not. Eric Massa is for abortion.
Public Option: Per ABC news – “The House health care bill, however, includes a public option in what becomes one of the biggest health care policy differences between the two bills. Under the House's public option plan, the government would negotiate rates with insurance companies instead of setting fees, as it does in Medicare.
At least 50 Democrats in the House are on the record as saying they will not vote for a bill without this option while Nelson and Lieberman have refused to support a bill that does include a public option.”
Eric Massa is for the Public Option.
Cadillac Tax Plan: The Senate version has a “curb to cost” by imposing a 40 percent tax increase on “Cadillac Health Care Insurance Plans”. The House did not have this provision.
Note: This tax was universally opposed by the Unions as most of the plans for their workers would fall into the “Cadillac” category.
As a result of the Union opposition to the Senate version the White House struck a deal with Unions to “carve out” their plans from the bill and delay their taxation until 2018. So, the question is, is Massa for the taxation of the Union plans or against it. If he is against it, the President has covered this opposition by the “carve out”. If Massa is for the 40% increase and against the “carve out” the Unions received then perhaps Massa has some credibility for his reversed decision on his resignation.
Analysis: Since the House version did not have the “Cadillac” provision and the White House “carved” it out of the Senate version then Massa has no reason to vote NO on this issue.
In the end, all information/fact on the record has Massa wanting to impose government run health care for all Americans and his YES vote bears this out. Massa wants us to believe that he resigned due to pressure from Democrat leadership insiders who were about to “throw him under the bus” because he always intended to vote NO.
Massa is a disgrace to his family, his party and as a public official who has always shown to be a “progressive Socialist” intent on imposing oppressive government over the people. The town hall meeting shown above is enough proof that his own constituents loath his stance on this particular issue, which by the way is the complete opposite of the majority of all Americans.

Can you trust someone who has repeatedly lied?
Obama asks House Democrats to trust him, now!
In a desperate move the President has asked Democrats (behind closed doors) to trust him and pass the Healthcare bill.
It brings out a good question – can anyone trust a habitual liar when they ask for your faith in them?
The Obama Administration has not told the American public the truth what-so-ever in every pledge, promise and statement he has made since his campaign.
He told his party that he would end the War in Iraq, he hasn’t.
He told his party that he would close Guantanamo within one year, he hasn’t.
He told his party that he would not tax anyone who makes less than $250,000 per year, he has and intends to do some more.
He has told his party that he would not employ a single lobbyist in his Administration; his administration is full of them.
In the end, every poll, town hall, tea party protest and letter campaign is overwhelmingly against this legislation. In spite of the Democrat march towards a suicidal cliff jumping ceremony, en mass their arrogance is undiminished.
According to the AP, Senior Democrats are telling their nervous members -- “its better, these party leaders say, to pass the health care bill and spend the last few months of the 2010 campaign telling voters about the ways it will help them.
"You've got to go out and sell that product and stop worrying about the process," said Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. "And the president is a very powerful salesman for that product."
Representative Miller has been drinking a little too much of the cool-aid because if, as he says, Obama is a powerful salesman for the product, then why is the product still on the shelf?
As the lies continue to pile up like stacked cordwood in the backyard he has the audacity to ask his party to slit their collective political throat’s on the alter of propaganda that would have made Goebbels proud. The question is do they trust his word enough to ensure their political survival or will they take another “leap of faith” for their Dear Leader?
I would have to weigh my opinion here and say yes they will. The Democrats have never shown any “self preservation” skills in any of the policies that deal with our borders, national security or safety so why should they now?

According to the AP, Senior Democrats are telling their nervous members -- “its better, these party leaders say, to pass the health care bill and spend the last few months of the 2010 campaign telling voters about the ways it will help them.
"You've got to go out and sell that product and stop worrying about the process," said Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. "And the president is a very powerful salesman for that product."
Representative Miller has been drinking a little too much of the cool-aid because if, as he says, Obama is a powerful salesman for the product, then why is the product still on the shelf?
As the lies continue to pile up like stacked cordwood in the backyard he has the audacity to ask his party to slit their collective political throat’s on the alter of propaganda that would have made Goebbels proud. The question is do they trust his word enough to ensure their political survival or will they take another “leap of faith” for their Dear Leader?
I would have to weigh my opinion here and say yes they will. The Democrats have never shown any “self preservation” skills in any of the policies that deal with our borders, national security or safety so why should they now?

Obama to bring up path to citizenship now!
Democrats are desperate for votes!
The White House had planned to wait until 2011 to spring the amnesty of illegals to bolster his own candidacy for 2012 by making himself look good to Hispanics. The problem with that strategy is the House and Senate midterms need it now. In a move that many on the right were waiting for, Obama has held a closed door session with Senators Graham and Schumer to introduce legislation before the 2010 election to clear a path for the 10 million illegal aliens who are about to hold a rally in Washington DC on March 21.
The Democrats need a wedge issue to make Republicans look bad to blunt the anticipated losses that are on the immediate horizon.
According to the LA Times – “Nick Shapiro, a White House spokesman, said the president's support for an immigration bill, which would also include improved border security, was "unwavering."
Participants in the White House gathering also pointed to an immigration rally set for March 21 in Washington as a way to spotlight the issue and build needed momentum.
Though proponents of an immigration overhaul were pleased that the White House wasn't abandoning the effort, they also wanted Obama to take on a more assertive role, rather than leave it to Congress to work out a compromise.
Immigration is a delicate issue for the White House. After promising to revamp in his first year of office what many see as a fractured system, Obama risks angering a growing, politically potent Latino constituency if he defers the goal until 2011.”
The White house says that the “support for an immigration bill will also include improved border security that is unwavering” yet his proposed 2011 budget reduces funding for the “border security” apparatus.
According to the Examiner – “This is only the beginning," said political strategist Mike Baker. "There will be more cuts made to Immigration and Customs Enforcement since President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others have been critical of agents going after illegal workers. This budget is going to be all smoke and mirrors."
The other win-win for Obama and the sudden push for amnesty is his promise that his healthcare bill would not include coverage for illegal immigrants. This way he can keep a promise and is desperate to keep at least one. The topic, at a time when the White House should be working on jobs, is a powder keg of division. When you mix the two subjects (amnesty & Healthcare bill) you end up with situations like the one that happened at a Texas town hall meeting in August 2009 when a La Raza member who was protesting the anti-Obama healthcare crowd while wrapped in a Mexican flag became violent and assaulted another protestor. It was captured on You Tube video, but has been removed from the site. You can read about here.
You know when the Democrats are agitated on the upcoming elections when their own, Howard Dean is complaining that the Health Care bill is “hanging out Democrat incumbents to dry”!

The “Shining City on the Hill”
American democracy, the shining example of freedom!
Tea Party expands across the “Pond”!
Liberal UK Media attacks the idea with fervor!
It is a unique time in America. There have been times in our history where the uniqueness of our freedom that many here have taken for granted over time, faced down tyranny. These tests have normally resulted in American intervention overseas at pivotal moments when no others had the resources, courage or fortitude to confront the evils.
We have had moments where we had to fight these evils internally, at great sacrifice and as such were able to stand on the shoulders of those who were strong and determined.
The world watched as a historical moment in the American experiment elected its first black President and like us began to realize that internal forces are ripping apart the fabric that once made us great.
The world has watched and they have asked aloud – “how could America allow a Marxist tear down all that has been achieved”?
In the first year of the Obama administration we have witnessed the rise of tyranny in the policy decisions and political appointments and the general anti-business climate that has torn away massive chunks of our free market system. The world has watched while some applauded our decline and others have reacted in disbelief and horror of the swift decline.
There is one thing that the world has also watched, in fascination and wonder during this tumultuous period and that is – the power of the people over government. While Obama and his Marxist fellow travelers are busy doing their dirty work of destroying America, the people have risen (in the form of tea party’s and town hall protests) and have planted themselves between the tyrannical aspirations of Obama and the ruling elites that represent us.
It was only a matter of time before the idea of freedom from a tyrannical government hopped a tramp steamer and arrived in Europe to spread the ideals and hopes of a grassroots movement.
In order to deflect the effects that the will of the people, the true spirit of the tea party movement has managed to convey, the article has found every single negative connotation used in the American media as well as the left leaning politicians to try to suppress the growing support.
The article focuses on a single political race in Texas that has largely been between the incumbent Rick Perry and another Republican Kay Bailey-Hutchinson. The most interesting aspect that did not get mentioned in this race is that it is taking place between Republicans. This aspect is worth noting as it will undoubtedly show what level of “conservatism” this party is striving for. We know, for instance, the races in Virginia New Jersey and Massachusetts were a direct result of the tea party movements disfavor with the Democrats and their policies of higher taxes and oppressive rule. Those races had a distinct difference than the race in Texas because the candidates as well as the incumbent are republicans.
As Republicans go, both Perry and Hutchinson are considered conservatives. Rick Perry recently made headlines when he talked about Texas succession from the Federal Government. The problem that plagues Governor Perry is his continued support of “eminent Domain” regarding the Texas Corridor Project to build a highway that will stretch from Mexico to Canada. While “slick Rick” says he is for protecting landowner rights against the forced takeover of private property from Government he masks his words in such a way to make it look good while the truth is it only codifies the Governments ability to grab private land if it is deemed for “public use”. His website shows the slick nature of his words:
“Next, we need to pass further legislation that protects landowners from other abuses of eminent domain.
Government shouldn’t use eminent domain to take someone’s land without trying to buy it from them first. It is wrong for any government to make a lowball offer, then respond to an owner’s righteous refusal by taking the land.
The government owes land owners a genuine good-faith negotiation, not a land grab. I am pleased that Representative Orr and Senator Duncan are working on legislation that will better protect our landowners.
We should also implement Representative Jackson’s constitutional amendment that the voters have already adopted. It allows a landowner to buy back land when it isn’t used for the project it was taken for…and buy it for the price the government paid for it, not its value on today’s market.”
Rick Perry tries to hide his support for the willful grabbing of private land in fluffy sounding language.
“Government shouldn’t use eminent domain to take someone’s land without trying to buy it from them first. It is wrong for any government to make a lowball offer, then respond to an owner’s righteous refusal by taking the land.”
So, according to this philosophy it is OK for the government as long as they try to buy it first.
Further, he states:
“That increase in value belongs to the landowner, not the government, and the landowner shouldn’t have to pay extra to get it back.
Without action on these additional protections, private property rights will be eroded, and undermine the very character of our state.”
Bottom line: the government has no right to take anyone’s land for non-public uses and no amount of arguing will change that fact.”
In his “bottom line” analogy he uses the wording “for non-public uses” so in essence his support for the land grab for his Texas Corridor Project is a “public use” nature and therefore eligible for eminent domain. The big question here and one that echo’s in the “Supreme Court Kelo decision” is who decides what “public use” is? In Kelo, the “public use” argument was the city’s tax coffers would be greater than a private home therefore it was in the “publics best interest”, through taxation that forced Kelo from her home and gave the property to a private company for development. In case anyone is interested, the company that ultimately received Kelo’s land never developed it into the “tax” generated purpose for which the land was proposed and to this day the property is vacant and blighted (yet Kelo’s home was bulldozed into oblivion first).
Per the Associated Press -- ” Kelo and six other homeowners fought for years, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2005, justices voted 5-4 against them, giving cities across the country the right to use eminent domain to take property for private development.
The decision was sharply criticized and created grassroots backlash. Forty states quickly passed new, protective rules and regulations, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Some protesters even tried to turn the tables on now-retired Justice David Souter, trying unsuccessfully in 2006 to take his New Hampshire home by eminent domain to build an inn.
In New London the city's prized economic development plan has fallen apart as the economy crumbled.
Notice the terminology “grassroots backlash”! The Kelo decision was one piece of the “tea party” birth dynamic.
The new kid on the block Debra Medina is running her campaign much like Brown did in Massachusetts on the tea party platform of ideas as well as the tireless ground she is covering meeting Texans face to face, door to door and as a result -- She is surging in the polls.
The world has witnessed the decline of power of a Democrat majority in the US Senate and House in spite of the superior numbers they hold over Republicans. The reason for this toothless Democrat majority is not lost on those in other countries around the globe and that is the “power of the will of the people”. They are watching in fascination and watching closely at how it is being done here and it is only a matter of time before people throw the “yoke” of socialism off their necks to achieve the individual freedom that we have laid out as the example. Though America has been weakened financially, militarily and politically she has maintained her strength of freedom to keep tyranny at bay. The world is watching as Obama fails in his quest because the people are smart and they are now engaged. The world wants what we have and now the UK is following our example by organizing their first tea party. Freedom is contagious and once started it will be hard to stop because it is the individual that has the power over the elites.
