A conversation between my Dad and I today concerning the governor's race here in Texas went something like this:

Me: "Who are you going to vote for in the primary?"

Dad: "Probably Rick Perry...Hutchison isn't prolife enough."

Me: "True...but man...I don't want either of them! Who else is there?"


DRUM ROLL PLEASE!





I've found my candidate: Debra Medina

1. She's a grassroots, liberty loving, Christian, prolife, down to earth, mother, who took on her own party (so basically the next Sarah Palin??)


2. She homeschooled her children so she DEFINITELY understands my rights as a parent to homeschool my children.


3. She wants to take away property taxes...using the same philosophies of the fair taxers.


4. She's got tea party philosophy written all over her: "The only disconnect in this country is between the people and their government."



Good News: She's got more time than Doug Hoffman to gain recognition
Bad News: She needs alot more money and prayers

I'm sure you've heard the bad news that the cop killer was once pardoned by Huckabee. However, he did not let this guy out on the street. The media is already slaying him though. The commutation may have been a mistake anyway in hindsight, but here's the full story as posted on his blog yesterday even before they were sure it was this guy:

Statement Regarding Washington State Slayings
by Press Team

The senseless and savage execution of police officers in Washington State has saddened the nation, and early reports indicate that a person of interest is a repeat offender who once lived in Arkansas and was wanted on outstanding warrants here and in Washington State. The murder of any individual is a profound tragedy, but the murder of a police officer is the worst of all murders in that it is an assault on every citizen and the laws we live within.

Should he be found to be responsible for this horrible tragedy, it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State. He was recommended for and received a commutation of his original sentence from 1990, this commutation made him parole eligible and he was then paroled by the parole board once they determined he met the conditions at that time. He was arrested later for parole violation and taken back to prison to serve his full term, but prosecutors dropped the charges that would have held him. It appears that he has continued to have a string of criminal and psychotic behavior but was not kept incarcerated by either state. This is a horrible and tragic event and if found and convicted the offender should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Our thoughts and prayers are and should be with the families of those honorable, brave, and heroic police officers.

Either way it's disappointing and may ruin any chance he has for politics. He thought he was pardoning a stupid mistake of a teenager but that just started the domino effect of many other mistakes by others. But Huckabee will be the ONLY one responsible according to the media.

Obama = Chavez

From Wikipedia: (my comments in red)

-Chávez and his followers described their aim as "laying the foundations of a new republic" to replace the existing one. Obama: "We're 5 days away from fundamentally changing the United States of America." Van Jones: "We're gonna change the whole thing."

-Chávez used his flamboyant public speaking style, which was notable for its abundance of colloquialisms and ribald manner—on the campaign trail to win the trust and favour of a primarily poor and working class following. (Obama to a T)

-Later in his life, Chávez would acknowledge the role that democratic socialism (a form of socialism that emphasizes grassroots democratic participation) plays in Bolivarianism. Because his Bolivarianism relies on popular support, Chávez has organized the "Bolivarian Circles", (ACORN Circles??? Community organizers?)which he cites as examples of grassroots and participatory democracy. The circles are forums for a few hundred local residents who decide how to spend the government allowance for social development. They usually decide for neighborhood beautification, mass mobilization, lending support to small businesses, and providing basic social services. Obama speaking to community organizers: "But let me even say before I even get inaugurated. During the transition we're going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We're going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America."

-Chávez is an outspoken proponent of what he calls a socialism of the 21st century as a means to help the poor. Since 2003, the Venezuelan government has set price controls on around 400 basic foods to counter inflation, which has led to "sporadic food shortages". Food processing companies said that regulated prices had not kept pace with inflation, so that they were producing regulated food at a loss. Chávez has also nationalized a number of major companies, including in the telephone, electric, steel, and cement industries, and encouraged cooperatives. (Banks, Cars, Cap & Trade, etc.)

-Paraphrase: Chavez took control of the opposition after an attempt on his life. Mostly any opposing media. Obama's media czar has already stated his support of Chavez' actions and already has plans in place to silence right wing media when the time is right.

They are waiting for an "Emergency" folks. It will give them the reason to take over. Please, God, don't let it happen. Have mercy on us!

5 freedoms you'd lose in health care reform

If you read the fine print in the Congressional plans, you'll find that a lot of cherished aspects of the current system would disappear.
By Shawn Tully, editor at large
July 24, 2009: 10:17 AM ET
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- In promoting his health-care agenda, President Obama has repeatedly reassured Americans that they can keep their existing health plans -- and that the benefits and access they prize will be enhanced through reform.
A close reading of the two main bills, one backed by Democrats in the House and the other issued by Sen. Edward Kennedy's Health committee, contradict the President's assurances. To be sure, it isn't easy to comb through their 2,000 pages of tortured legal language. But page by page, the bills reveal a web of restrictions, fines, and mandates that would radically change your health-care coverage.
If you prize choosing your own cardiologist or urologist under your company's Preferred Provider Organization plan (PPO), if your employer rewards your non-smoking, healthy lifestyle with reduced premiums, if you love the bargain Health Savings Account (HSA) that insures you just for the essentials, or if you simply take comfort in the freedom to spend your own money for a policy that covers the newest drugs and diagnostic tests -- you may be shocked to learn that you could lose all of those good things under the rules proposed in the two bills that herald a health-care revolution.
In short, the Obama platform would mandate extremely full, expensive, and highly subsidized coverage -- including a lot of benefits people would never pay for with their own money -- but deliver it through a highly restrictive, HMO-style plan that will determine what care and tests you can and can't have. It's a revolution, all right, but in the wrong direction.
Let's explore the five freedoms that Americans would lose under Obamacare:
1. Freedom to choose what's in your plan
The bills in both houses require that Americans purchase insurance through "qualified" plans offered by health-care "exchanges" that would be set up in each state. The rub is that the plans can't really compete based on what they offer. The reason: The federal government will impose a minimum list of benefits that each plan is required to offer.
Today, many states require these "standard benefits packages" -- and they're a major cause for the rise in health-care costs. Every group, from chiropractors to alcohol-abuse counselors, do lobbying to get included. Connecticut, for example, requires reimbursement for hair transplants, hearing aids, and in vitro fertilization.
The Senate bill would require coverage for prescription drugs, mental-health benefits, and substance-abuse services. It also requires policies to insure "children" until the age of 26. That's just the starting list. The bills would allow the Department of Health and Human Services to add to the list of required benefits, based on recommendations from a committee of experts. Americans, therefore, wouldn't even know what's in their plans and what they're required to pay for, directly or indirectly, until after the bills become law.
2. Freedom to be rewarded for healthy living, or pay your real costs
As with the previous example, the Obama plan enshrines into federal law one of the worst features of state legislation: community rating. Eleven states, ranging from New York to Oregon, have some form of community rating. In its purest form, community rating requires that all patients pay the same rates for their level of coverage regardless of their age or medical condition.
Americans with pre-existing conditions need subsidies under any plan, but community rating is a dubious way to bring fairness to health care. The reason is twofold: First, it forces young people, who typically have lower incomes than older workers, to pay far more than their actual cost, and gives older workers, who can afford to pay more, a big discount. The state laws gouging the young are a major reason so many of them have joined the ranks of uninsured.
Under the Senate plan, insurers would be barred from charging any more than twice as much for one patient vs. any other patient with the same coverage. So if a 20-year-old who costs just $800 a year to insure is forced to pay $2,500, a 62-year-old who costs $7,500 would pay no more than $5,000.
Second, the bills would ban insurers from charging differing premiums based on the health of their customers. Again, that's understandable for folks with diabetes or cancer. But the bills would bar rewarding people who pursue a healthy lifestyle of exercise or a cholesterol-conscious diet. That's hardly a formula for lower costs. It's as if car insurers had to charge the same rates to safe drivers as to chronic speeders with a history of accidents.
3. Freedom to choose high-deductible coverage
The bills threaten to eliminate the one part of the market truly driven by consumers spending their own money. That's what makes a market, and health care needs more of it, not less.
Hundreds of companies now offer Health Savings Accounts to about 5 million employees. Those workers deposit tax-free money in the accounts and get a matching contribution from their employer. They can use the funds to buy a high-deductible plan -- say for major medical costs over $12,000. Preventive care is reimbursed, but patients pay all other routine doctor visits and tests with their own money from the HSA account. As a result, HSA users are far more cost-conscious than customers who are reimbursed for the majority of their care.
The bills seriously endanger the trend toward consumer-driven care in general. By requiring minimum packages, they would prevent patients from choosing stripped-down plans that cover only major medical expenses. "The government could set extremely low deductibles that would eliminate HSAs," says John Goodman of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a free-market research group. "And they could do it after the bills are passed."
4. Freedom to keep your existing plan
This is the freedom that the President keeps emphasizing. Yet the bills appear to say otherwise. It's worth diving into the weeds -- the territory where most pundits and politicians don't seem to have ventured.
The legislation divides the insured into two main groups, and those two groups are treated differently with respect to their current plans. The first are employees covered by the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974. ERISA regulates companies that are self-insured, meaning they pay claims out of their cash flow, and don't have real insurance. Those are the GEs (GE, Fortune 500) and Time Warners (TWX, Fortune 500) and most other big companies.
The House bill states that employees covered by ERISA plans are "grandfathered." Under ERISA, the plans can do pretty much what they want -- they're exempt from standard packages and community rating and can reward employees for healthy lifestyles even in restrictive states.
But read on.
The bill gives ERISA employers a five-year grace period when they can keep offering plans free from the restrictions of the "qualified" policies offered on the exchanges. But after five years, they would have to offer only approved plans, with the myriad rules we've already discussed. So for Americans in large corporations, "keeping your own plan" has a strict deadline. In five years, like it or not, you'll get dumped into the exchange. As we'll see, it could happen a lot earlier.
The outlook is worse for the second group. It encompasses employees who aren't under ERISA but get actual insurance either on their own or through small businesses. After the legislation passes, all insurers that offer a wide range of plans to these employees will be forced to offer only "qualified" plans to new customers, via the exchanges.
The employees who got their coverage before the law goes into effect can keep their plans, but once again, there's a catch. If the plan changes in any way -- by altering co-pays, deductibles, or even switching coverage for this or that drug -- the employee must drop out and shop through the exchange. Since these plans generally change their policies every year, it's likely that millions of employees will lose their plans in 12 months.
5. Freedom to choose your doctors
The Senate bill requires that Americans buying through the exchanges -- and as we've seen, that will soon be most Americans -- must get their care through something called "medical home." Medical home is similar to an HMO. You're assigned a primary care doctor, and the doctor controls your access to specialists. The primary care physicians will decide which services, like MRIs and other diagnostic scans, are best for you, and will decide when you really need to see a cardiologists or orthopedists.
Under the proposals, the gatekeepers would theoretically guide patients to tests and treatments that have proved most cost-effective. The danger is that doctors will be financially rewarded for denying care, as were HMO physicians more than a decade ago. It was consumer outrage over despotic gatekeepers that made the HMOs so unpopular, and killed what was billed as the solution to America's health-care cost explosion.
The bills do not specifically rule out fee-for-service plans as options to be offered through the exchanges. But remember, those plans -- if they exist -- would be barred from charging sick or elderly patients more than young and healthy ones. So patients would be inclined to game the system, staying in the HMO while they're healthy and switching to fee-for-service when they become seriously ill. "That would kill fee-for-service in a hurry," says Goodman.
In reality, the flexible, employer-based plans that now dominate the landscape, and that Americans so cherish, could disappear far faster than the 5 year "grace period" that's barely being discussed.
Companies would have the option of paying an 8% payroll tax into a fund that pays for coverage for Americans who aren't covered by their employers. It won't happen right away -- large companies must wait a couple of years before they opt out. But it will happen, since it's likely that the tax will rise a lot more slowly than corporate health-care costs, especially since they'll be lobbying Washington to keep the tax under control in the righteous name of job creation.
The best solution is to move to a let-freedom-ring regime of high deductibles, no community rating, no standard benefits, and cross-state shopping for bargains (another market-based reform that's strictly taboo in the bills). I'll propose my own solution in another piece soon on Fortune.com. For now, we suffer with a flawed health-care system, but we still have our Five Freedoms. Call them the Five Endangered Freedoms.

Joe Biden: ‘We Have to Go Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt’

One of my greatest fears...

Here it is! The moment I've been waiting for. With National Health Care on the brink of existence, we now learn of the philosophy of Obama's Science Czar: John Holdren.

(My emphasis in black, comments in red).

Obama's science czar suggested compulsory abortion, sterilization
By: David Freddoso
Commentary Staff Writer, Washington Examiner
07/14/09 4:55 PM EDT

Internet reports are now circulating that Obama's Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, John Holdren, penned a 1977 book that approved of and recommended compulsory sterilization and even abortion in some cases, as part of a government population control regime. (Are we sure this isn't really Peter Singer in disguise?)

Given the general unreliability of Internet quotations, I wanted to go straight to this now-rare text and make sure the reports were both accurate and kept Holdren's writings in context. Generally speaking, they are, and they do.

The Holdren book, titled Ecoscience and co-authored with Malthus enthusiasts Paul and Anne Ehrlich, weighs in at more than 1,000 pages. Of greatest importance to its discussion of how to limit the human population is its disregard for any ethical considerations. (no kidding? Are we surprised?)

Holdren (with the Ehrlichs) notes the existence of “moral objections to some proposals...especially to any kind of compulsion.” But his approach is completely amoral. He implies that compulsory population control is less preferable, because of some people's objections, (Uh, yeah! As sure as the day is long) but he argues repeatedly that it is sometimes necessary, and necessity trumps all ethical objections. (Obama Philosophy 101)

He writes:

Several coercive proposals deserve discussion, mainly because some countries may ultimately have to resort to them unless current trends in birth rates are rapidly reversed by other means. (of course this is old and today we are at birth rates below the replacement level...but why should that stop them?? Now they can use the "save the planet" argument to have fewer carbon breathers walking around.) Some involuntary measures (scariest 2 words ever) could be less repressive or discriminatory, in fact, than some of the socioeconomic measures suggested.

Holdren refers approvingly, for example, to Indira Gandhi's government for its then-recent attempt at a compulsory sterilization program:

India in the mid-1970s not only entertained the idea of compulsory sterilization, but moved toward implementing it...This decision was greeted with dismay abroad, (shocking) but Indira Gandhi's government felt it had little other choice. There is too little time left to experiment further with educational programs and hope that social change will generate a spontaneous fertility decline, and most of the Indian population is too poor for direct economic pressures (especially penalties) to be effective.

When necessary, then, compulsory sterilization is justified. This attitude suffuses the following passage, in which the possibility of putting a “sterilant” into a population's drinking water is seriously discussed. Holdren and his co-authors do not recommend this particular method, but their objections to it are merely practical and health-related, not moral or stemming from any concern for human freedom: (much like our leaders today...*sigh* Great!)

Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock...Again, there is no sign of such an agent on the horizon. And the risk of serious, unforeseen side effects would, in our opinion, militate against the use of any such agent, even though this plan has the advantage of avoiding the need for socioeconomic pressures that might tend to discriminate against particular groups (30 years later this is no longer tickling anyone's conscience...embryonic stem cell research and other immoral scientific experiments exploit the poor every day, for example, harvesting eggs for money). or penalize children. (Again...commonly set aside as a consideration...i.e. killing children, same-sex adoption, performing abortions on minor illegally and/or sending them back to their rapists, etc.)

Even though they do not recommend it, note that Holdren and his co-authors treat this as a serious policy proposal with serious drawbacks -- not as an insane idea unworthy of consideration. (What are the odds he's had a conversion of heart??)

They look with more favor on this “milder” form of coercive sterilization: (Doesn't that phrase just make your scalp itch?)

Of course, a government might require only implantation of the contraceptive capsule, leaving its removal to the individual's discretion but requiring reimplantation after childbirth. (Via national health care? He must be dancing in his boots right about now!) Since having a child would require positive action (removal of the capsule), many more births would be prevented than in the reverse situation.

Holdren and his co-authors also tackle the problem of illegitimacy, recognizing that it could be one consequence of a society which, in its effort to limit births, downgrades the value of intact nuclear families and encourages lifelong bachelorhood: (Duh!)

[R]esponsible parenthood ought to be encouraged and illegitimate childbearing could be strongly discouraged. (Obviously on the surface that sounds great...but this is the Anti-Humanae Vitae form of Responsible Parenthood...read on) One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption (how generous) -- especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone...It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society. (Again, via national health care?)

Holdren's suggestion here is presented perfectly in context. It stands alone in the text without any accompanying reservations.

President Obama has spoken repeatedly in favor of putting science before ideology. The real debate, however, has never been about whether ethics are needed in science, but rather over whose ethics should determine where science will or will not go. (God help us all)

Nowhere has Obama suggested that science should be completely ethics-free. But Holdren is his Science Czar all the same.

Conservatives VS Liberals

A conservative and a liberal were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The conservative gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

The liberal was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the conservative's pocket and got out $20. He kept $15 for administrative fees and gave the homeless person $5.

Now you know the difference between conservatives and liberals.

So Michelle Obama describes the fear that Sotomayor felt at Princeton — and its lasting effects to this day — and then compares it, of course, to Michelle's own ambiguous feelings toward the same Princeton campus (cf. Michelle's thesis for the details), that one is willing to put up with for the education and prestige it gave, but does not really like for the presence of apparently so many stuck-up, rich, preppy kids and their ubiquitous exclusive campus culture.
Three or four observations:
Many Americans were terrified about our first year in college. Some left farms for sophisticated urban environments and were lost; others were the first in their families to go to colleges, and so on. The Ivy League is by definition snobbish to all outside its traditional insular orbit, whether white, black, brown, country folk, foreigners, etc. But by predicating such common discomfort on their own race and gender, Ms. Obama and Judge Sotomayor deprecate a universal human experience, and instead claim it as something unique to identity politics;
Once more we see the schizophrenia of affirmative action, diversity, and identify politics — the university is both obliged to select students on the basis, at least in part, of race, class, and gender, but then almost immediately faulted for a climate that, in the eye of the recipient, stigmatizes those to whom it gives unusual consideration (what is the answer? — no race/class/gender consideration at all?; constant race/class/gender consideration that begins at admission and continues through graduation?; damned if you do, damned if you don't?);
And the remedy for feeling separate at elite colleges is apparently to reemphasize separatism based on identification with the tribe (e.g., Justice Sotomayor's senior thesis, like that once written by Ms. Obama, is predicated on ethnic and racial grievance).
All this should disturb Democrats because it fuels a general and growing perception (cf. Sotomayor's white-male references, Eric Holder's "cowards" remark, the serial Obama apologies abroad, the confusion about America being an important Muslim nation, etc.) among the public that something very strange is going on — a sort of generic anger being expressed at the highest levels of government that seems fueled by long past resentments against a perceived establishment that at times apparently is to roughly characterized as white, or white male, or rich, or Christian, or something other than poor, of color, or of female?
One would have thought with the presidency, or nomination to the Supreme Court, or with the office of Attorney General, or First Lady, such hurt feelings and old grievances might wane; but instead the resentment seems to be ubiquious, and growing, and the lectures will be with us for the next four years in almost every imaginable circumstance. If the administration is not careful, millions of Americans are going to begin feeling that they are caricatured pretty much as those once were in rural Pennsylvania.

Unemployment is at a 26 year high now, 9.4%

How's all that "Hope and Change" going for everyone?

The deficit is $2 Trillion,,,the National Debt is something like $11 Trillion now.

And the Liberal Media used to raise Hell when Reagan's deficit was $150 billion
or Bush's was $400 Billion.

Poor Ronald Reagan, spinning in his grave, like an airplane propeller !

Barry Goldwater's "The Conscience of a Conservative", 1960

In this 1st instillation of a series of quotes from Barry Goldwater on "The Conscience of a Conservative"(1960), I would like to show how Conservative Principles can be applied to any time or problem.

"The Conservative approach is nothing more or less than an attempt to apply the wisdom and experience and the revealed truths of the the past to the problems of today. The challenge is not to find new or different truths, but to learn how to apply established truths to the problems of the contemporary world. My hope is that one more Conservative voice will be helpful in meeting this challenge." -From the Forward

Russia Warns US of Marxism!

Pravda has the story. (The Website is Terrible) ...so here's the article (my emphasis in black comments in red):

AMERICAN CAPITALISM GONE WITH A WHIMPER:

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple ("we the sheeple"), excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. (They WOULD know.) But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. (Ouch!)

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. 3 cheers for us homeschoolers! Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. (SO True.) Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" (No surprise our crediblity is dead here)were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America. (our dear Catholic Churches too!)

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. (You think so too? Time to start stock piling Dad)

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs (truly sad), in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). (Bingo!) Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride. (I'm listening...this is truly sick that Putin is the voice of reason)

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) (Yep) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive. (Yep)

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left. (Great!...but I wouldn't blame them)

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker. (Russia's looking more appealing... living there would almost be like fast forwarding through this nightmare they've already lived and seeing the sunshine again. Maybe learning Russian isn't too hard)

Obama Claims He Won't Run GM, Then Explains How He Will Run GM
You're being mandated to sacrifice. Yes, your lives will be miserable, but your children's children will love their bubble cars. Obama owns what happens now.

"Barack Obama -- a man who's never run a private sector business, who's never been challenged to show a profit, a man who sneers at the concept of profit -- now lectures us on how well GM can do if it is managed well. If? Hey, bud, you're managing it. You're in charge!"

-Rush Limbaugh

Pamela's Note: Sacrifice??? For the children??? Why didn't we do that instead of the Bailouts? Our children would have been better off had they left the market alone! That goes for Bush too.

GM, Pelosi, and the Family

So I was thinking:

If the government is going to be controlling which cars are manufactured, and since Green is the new Red and our whole Mission now as a country is to "Fight" Global Warming Climate Change...

...could the following scenario actually happen???...

We are forced to drive smaller cars because of the "Carbon" (excuse me while I breathe). Yet, a family like mine which I anticipate will get even bigger, won't be able to drive in a small car.

In fact, just having more kids means producing more carbon. And after all isn't it my DUTY to protect HUMAN RIGHTS by FIGHTING Climate Change, according to Fancy Nancy?? I mean, if she doesn't care about China's Human Rights Failures and forced abortion laws, why would they hesitate to bring that here???

It will be a DARK DAY in this country when that happens. And I truly believe it's possible.

Did I forget to mention that National Health Care would make this even EASIER??? Ask Europe. Does it cost more to birth and raise the health of a child or abort it??

Tiller's Murder Deplorable

I was shocked to hear about the Murder of Tiller the Baby Killer. No matter how much I disapprove this man's actions, and no matter how terrible his actions were, he, like everyone else, did not deserve to be gunned down. He's had his days in court, and although I don't believe justice was served, THIS was not the way to handle it.

I am sorry for his spirit...for the children he now faces that he brutally murdered. But I only wish he would have lived longer to repent of his ways and help convert others to repent.

May God Have Mercy On His Soul

God can make good out of evil, and no doubt at least a few children will be saved without this man's practice. But...

Murdered? And at his Church?! Does this gunman not see that Tiller is now a Martyr for his cause? Nothing but empathy and sorrow will be given for this baby murderer in the media. And how much more will DHS and the Obama Administration accuse "Right-Wing Extremest" Prolifers of being a danger to the country??

This can't be good...Thanks for nothing Mr. Gunman.

No candidate for public office should get my vote unless they are in support of Constitutional Conventions and Amending the constitution on the following:

-Human Life Amendment

Did you know we can do this WITHOUT the Federal Government?? Did you know the President plays NO part in this... he has no veto power?? 3/4 of the states? Piece of cake! 38 states. After 2010, we can storm the State Legislatures and even Governors with conservatives...Leave the Washington Elitists in the dust!!!

Joke

Gun Control

Barack Obama at a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.
Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'
From the back of the room, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said: ''Well, dumb-ass, quit clapping!'

Will Justice Ever Be Blind Again?

After hearing Pres. Obama introduce this woman on the basis of compassion and empathy, I was about ready to start packing and leave the country. Can you believe his security blanket (AKA teleprompter) was covering her face the whole time??

Thank goodness Huckabee is still continuing to read my mind:

Alexander Burns of Politico reports: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee called Sotomayor’s appointment “the clearest indication yet that Preisdent Obama’s campaign promises to be a centrist and think in a bipartisan way were mere rhetoric.” “Sotomayor comes from the far left,” Huckabee said in a statement. “The notion that appellate court decisions are to be interpreted by the ‘feelings’ of the judge is a direct affront of the basic premise of our judicial system that is supposed to apply the law without personal emotion. If she is confirmed, then we need to take the blindfold off Lady Justice.

Huck's a Poet and Doesn't Know-It:

Here’s a story about a lady named Nancy

A ruthless politician, but dressed very fancy

Very ambitious, she got herself elected Speaker

But as for keeping secrets, she proved quite a "leaker."

She flies on government planes coast to coast

And doesn’t mind that our economy is toast

She makes the Air Force squire her in their military jets

There’s room for her family, her staff, and even her pets.

Until now, she annoyed us, but her gaffes were mostly funny;

Even though it was painful to watch her waste our tax money.

But now her wacky comments are no laughing matter;

She’s either unwilling to tell the truth, or she’s mad as a hatter!

She sat in briefings and knew about enhanced interrogation;

But claims she wasn’t there, and can’t give an explanation.

She disparages the CIA and says they are a bunch of liars;

Even the press aren’t buying it and they’re stoking their fires.

I think Speaker Pelosi has done too much speaking;

And instead of her trashing our intelligence officials, it’s her nose that needs tweaking.
If forced to believe whether the CIA and her colleagues in Congress are lying;

Or it’s Speaker Pelosi whose credibility and career is dying.

I believe in the integrity of the men and women who sacrifice to keep us safe;

Not the woman who has been caught flat-footed, lying to our face.
I say it here and I say it rather clear —

It’s time for Nancy Pelosi to resign and get out of here.

-Dedicated to single issues, like abortion or immigration

-Oppose gun control and buy a gun before it's too late

-Are a combat experienced Military Veteran

-Perceive a threat to U.S. sovereignty from foreign countries.

All the while, the REAL terrorism in this world is merely labeled "Man-made disasters"??? But I'm the terrorist?

Vertical Politics

Huckabee on Vertical Politics:

"The idea that I believe that American is looking for the kind of Conservative that won’t just lead the country horizontally, because average Americans sitting around their kitchen tables tonight with their bills spread out and the calculator going don’t think so much in horizontal terms they think primarily, not Left Right Liberal Conservative Democrat Republican, they think vertically. Will these people take us up or will they take us down?

"With everything within me from the depth of my bones, I believe that the principles of Free Market Conservatism, strong defensible borders, the idea of protecting life and family, I believe those principles will take us up not down. And with all that is within me, I believe with all my heart that the principles of taxing and spending and creating a monstrous government, will take us down and not up. And that is why we need to exercise the competent Conservatism that can get us back where we lead.

"I believe that what we need right now is some Vertical Patriotism to lift us out of this economic mess. I’ve never been one to hold my breath waiting for the Federal Government to help me. I told the Republican Convention last year when I spoke there: I’m not a Republican because I grew up rich, I’m a Republican because I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life poor waiting for the government to come and rescue me."
