“I wasn’t a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn’t spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation-from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries. They called it the Reagan revolution. Well, I’ll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery, a rediscover of our values and our common sense.“

Obama and ACORN - Why We May Never Know The Truth

Independent prosecutor for ACORN -- chicagotribune.com

This is a great article by the Chicago Tribune in an opinion piece about ACORN and the Obama Administration.  Lipson states:
Independent prosecutors should not be appointed lightly. But in this case, there are good reasons why Atty. Gen. Eric Holder and other political appointees in the Justice Department should step aside.

ACORN's close ties to the progressive movement and Democratic Party mean that there will be little public confidence if Holder decides not to pursue an ambitious investigation and ultimately prosecute.

Ironically, ACORN's chief executive officer, Bertha Lewis, strengthens the case for an independent prosecutor with her robust defense of the organization. FOX News, she says, is pursuing her group  solely for political reasons. They oppose ACORN, she says, because it is associated with progressive
politics, labor organizing and the Obama administration's health-care initiative. Unfortunately for ACORN, Lewis' charges also mean that if the Obama administration decides not to prosecute or to indict only low-level employees, the public will wonder if they are seeing a political defense by ACORN's friends, a coverup rather than a fair-minded, independent decision by the Justice Department.

Holder has compounded these concerns with two recent decisions. In New Mexico, federal attorneys apparently recommended high-level prosecutions in the pay-for-play scandal swirling around Gov. Bill Richardson. Holder's office overrode them and dropped the case. Holder also decided to drop the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia, where thugs were caught on tape brandishing clubs outside a voting precinct. In both cases, Holder has refused to explain his actions.

After these decisions and Holder's silence about them, there is simply no reason to hand him another high-profile case with political ramifications. What we have seen on tape cries out for a serious,
independent investigation to determine if ACORN and its affiliates are a criminal enterprise, whether they have spent federal grants lawfully, whether they helped taxpayers file fraudulent returns, and whether they violated laws prohibiting tax-exempt organizations from engaging in partisan politics.


And it s all true.  Attn Gen. Eric Holder HAS IN FACT not explained any of his actions regarding the Bill Richardson case and the voter intimidation case in Philadelphia.  The decisions on NOT going forward with these cases DESERVES to be explained why they were not as there is video evidence of the New Black Panther Party doing exactly what was charged in the lawsuit

We need a completely independent investigation that will root out corruption no matter how high it goes, including the President, just like they did with President Nixon.

No, HeathCare is NOT the Defining Issue of This Generation

Obama pitches health care at college campus - Yahoo! News
Calling health insurance reform a "defining struggle of this generation," President Barack Obama told thousands of college students Thursday that Congress must resist scare tactics and false accusations to do a makeover.
I seriously beg to differ with President Obama on this.  TERRORISM is the defining issue of our generation.  Call me crazy but I would rather NOT have health insurance and still be alive versus having health insurance and be dead from a terrorist attack like that of 9/11.  Barak Obama seriously has his screws loose if he thinks that health care is the most pressing issue right now.  Sure, health care is a big issue, but it pales in comparison to national security, or the violating of our Constitutional rights by the Obama Adminsitration and Democrats in Congress.  Turning on it's head 250+ years of American freedoms and rights, for socialism and "wealth redistribution."  The Obama Administration is dead wrong on it's priorities for the USA.  

All Obama has to do to solve the Heath Care issue is remove the restrictions on purchasing health insurance across states lines so that competition will dramatically increase and costs will naturally be reduced.  Combine that with tort reform and medical malpractice reform and you have a heath care plan that costs $0.00 and solves 90% of the heath care issues.  But NOOOO, President Barak Obama and the Democrats in Congress are determined to force socialism down the throats of the American people at a cost of $1,000,000,000,000.00 - YES, that is TRILLION - over 10 years.  Why?  Because this istheir one and only chance at achieving socialism in America and they are damned if they are going to let the opportunity to ruin America pass them by, regardless of the concern or disdain of the American people.   Americans will not stand for this and you are seeing this coming to fruition.  By and large polls all over the country are vehemently opposed to ObamaCare because they see what disaster it will bring and at such a tremendous cost with no benefit but socialism and reduced care - and you certainly cannot call those 'benefits."

...and Obama Thinks He Can Talk Iran Out of A Nuclear Weapon? YEAH RIGHT!

Wave of arrests follow plot to blow up Dubai tower - Israel News, Ynetnews

Just another GLARING example of the terrorism CENTER OF GRAVITY that is Iran. 
The defense apparatus in the United Arab Emirates arrested 45 suspects, most of them Palestinian and Lebanese, after the plot to blow up Burj Dubai (Dubai Tower) was uncovered. Dubai Tower, currently under construction, is the tallest building in the world.

The current wave of arrests adds to the eight other suspects detained immediately after the plot was revealed one and a half months ago. The detainees were apparently sent as agents of Iran.

Why the world has waited 7+ years to confront Iran is beyond me. Just imagine the next time something like this is discovered there will definitely be a nuclear component to it.  Imagine how scary THAT is.  To all those people out there who use the argument that "Well, Israel has nuclear weapons, and the United Stated has nuclear Weapons and so does, China, France, UK, Russia."  Well here is you answer:  NONE of those other nuclear powers actively try to blow up building in other countries, actively supports and financies terrorists organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas, actively kills their own people in the name of Shiite Islam, and actively calls for the utter destruction and obliteration of another country.  THAT'S WHY!

This article and the information in it should serve as a warning to those who think Iran is capable of dialog in the face of world determination to stop their nuclear efforts.  This article is but the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Iran, they have agents all over the world and have committed terrorist attacks even in Argentina! Why Iran would be operating half way around the world causing mayhem and death should get even the dimmest bulb in the room to start thinking with his/her logical part of the brain. 

IRAN IS THE NEXUS OF TERRORISM IN THE WORLD, THEY ARE THE MOTHER SHIP OF TERRORISM! 

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A WORLD WITH IRAN WITH A NUCLEAR WEAPON NOW?

It ONLY took 7 years of diplomatic Bull Shit to get to this point, only for the IAEA to CONFIRM, that, YES, Iran  CAN MAKE A BOMB!  Good job hiding that VALID information Mohamed ElBaradei, you stupid piece of shit.  Next up on the nuclear proliferation and weapons front.. Venezuela.. thanks to none other than... Russia!  AGAIN!!

More reason to bomb the crap out of Iran and keep bombing them until there is nothing left...

Where Credit is Due, Credit is Given

Congratulations Mr. President on a job well done. « POWIP
Congratulations Mr. President on a job well done.  Yes, President Obama deserves credit for this decision to kill/capture a wanted terrorist responsible for terrorist attacks in Kenyan and other places against the United States.  In this area of Obama's policies I'd actually have to give him pretty high remarks.  Obama has made some tough choices when it comes to America's defense, but he has nonetheless made some very good calls.  ex. engagement of the Somali pirate kidnappers in April.  These actions no doubt were probably very tough for the simple reason that the Left wing of the Democratic party, which Obama is smack dab in the middle of probably fought him tooth and nail to avoid taking on threats to the United States and our citizens.  It amazes me, the hypocrisy of those on the Left, that they will avoid legitimate defense for fear of international condemnation.  Honestly, who cares what the rest of the world thinks, their people are not in danger, and when push comes to shove, I'm looking out for my own - American citizens. 

So with that, I will give credit to Obama for not caving in to the Left wing of the democratic party and the crazy liberals, and for standing up and doing the right thing and defending our country and countrymen. 

Rep. Luis Gutierrez, (D-IL) YOU NEED TO MOVE TO MEXICO - You DO NOT SPEAK for Americans!

Latino Lawmaker Rips Obama for Making It Harder for Illegals to Buy Private Insurance - George's Bottom Line
"What is the administration’s answer?" asked Gutierrez. "To give him exactly what he said from this hatred. Because now, the administration has told us that if we’re going to have reform of our health care system ... all those that go to the private sector in order to get their health care, that they will verify them. They will verify Social Security; they will verify their status in the United States of America."
It's called THE LAW you dumbass!  Rep. Luis Gutierrez, (D-IL) YOU NEED TO MOVE TO MEXICO ASAP. 
... all those that go to the private sector
in order to get their health care, that they will verify them. They
will verify Social Security; they will verify their status in the
United States of America."

Sounds like you are taking your marching orders from Mexico and not the United States of America, to whom you SWORE an OATH to protect, server and UPHOLD the LAW for.  By your statement alone, you should be thrown out of Congress, stripped of your rights as a citizen of America and be forced to move to Mexico since you clearly are fighting for all citizens EXCEPT US citizens!

I, as a hispanic American, am APPALLED by your narcissistic view of everyone in America who wants the law UPHELD!  No one is denying your "community" health care coverage.  What we, as citizens of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - NOT MEXICO, are determined to prevent is the free-riding, expense exploding consequences of letting ILLEGAL immigrants mooch off US CITIZEN TAXPAYER MONEY.  It has been done for far too long and it's about time it be stopped dead in it's tracks.  I'm hispanic, do you see me worrying that I'm not going to get health care coverage?  NO, because I AM an American CITIZEN!

And "hatred?,"  I think not, it's called the LAW and it is applied equally and fairly across all walks of life in the United States.

ACORN and Van Jones and the CONNECTION to Obama - Here's the Foreign Media Doing the American Media's Job

Gateway Pundit: Foreign Media Reports on Obama's Links to Corrupt Org Caught in Pimp & Prostitution Scandal
The Telegraph reported what the US state-run media is hiding from the American public--
Here's the foreign media doing the job of the American media covering DOMESTIC politics.  It's absolutely unbelievable and disgraceful that the main stream media here in the USA WILL NOT cover the ACORN or Van Jones SCANDAL.  And they are SCANDALS.  I wrote about the investigation into ACORN being "killed by the powers that be," a little while ago over voter fraud.  FoxNews has a great article covering just some of the abuses committed by ACORN, and what is now trying to be done about those allegations. 

Republican Lawmakers Turn Up the Heat on ACORN - Political News - FOXNews.com
"ACORN has been in legal trouble in several states with raid after raid on their offices by officials looking into voter fraud. More than 30 ACORN officials have been convicted of fraud and new allegations of fraud are surfacing by the day," Johanns said in a statement released Monday. "It's wrong to give tax dollars to a group with multiple convictions of undermining our democratic process and our laws. So, I'm introducing measures to stop the federal funding of ACORN."
GatewayPundit does a great job of calling out the American media on this and pointing out how obviously in the tank the main stream media outlets are for Obama and the Democrats.  We truly do not have a fair and impartiality media in the USA anymore.  The only place to get real truth is from some key bloggers (who by the way do an OUTSTANDING JOB reporting truth) and a few respectable news outlets (ahem ...NOT the NY Times if you were wondering)



And. if the SCANDALS at the Baltimore and Washington DC offices of ACORN weren't enough to make you DISGUSTED and verifiably enraged that US taxpayer money is going to this group, ACORN, then here's more proof that your tax dollars being scammed:

ACORN DC Prostitution Investigation Part II

ACORN San Bernadino Child Prostitution Investigation Part I

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then it must be a duck.  Food for thought?!?!?!

And now, FINALLY some REAL action taken Senate Votes to Cut Off ACORN Housing Funding - Political News - FOXNews.com

The amendment, offered by Sen. Mike Johanns, passed in a vote of 83 to 7 and prohibits the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now from receiving funds from the current Transportation and Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill.


What took them this long to being with?  At least it's done.. It's just 1 more nail in the coffin of the liberal socialists who are trying to take over our country via the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party.

The 9-12 Protest Video the State-Run Media Will Hide via Gateway Pundit

Gateway Pundit

Gateway Pundit is spot on:
You won't see this video on TV. It might offend the administration. And, Americans might start to question the disastrous policies of the radicals in the White House. We couldn't have that. Certainly not before Democrats vote to swallow up one-sixth of the economy with their nationalized health care plan.

Astroturf?  I THINK NOT Nancy Pelosi


9/12 Protest Washington DC Time Lapse Footage 0800 - 1130

YOU WILL NOT SEE THIS VIDEO ON ANY MAINSTREAM MEDIA "NEWS" CASTS.  But hey, why would hundreds of thousands and thousands of people descending on the Untied States' Capital and voicing their OUTRAGE at the government be any big deal or newsworthy

The picture you will NEVER see anywhere in the Mainstream media. Look at the overflow of people on either side of the picture.  Yet, this kind of crowd gets no publicity from "news" outlets such at the NY Times, NBC, ABC, or CBS, not one peep from them about how big and patriotic this crowd was, estimates were close to 2 MILLION people



And Jimmy Carter thinks that ALL these people are racists?  What an asshole that guy is.  The WORST President of all time by far.  Jimmy Carter: The Worst Ex-President in history.

LOL

FYI: Is There a Scientific Way to Measure How Bad a Fart Smells? | Popular Science

HAHAHAHAHA, this is just hilarious to look at and think about the concept in general.  The fact that it is a real machine is even funnier.  LOL, I just can't believe my eyes when I look at this thing... THAT is just CLASSIC!

One Inspiring Article on Afghan Progress to Date

Afghan commandos' esprit de corps transcends tribe - Yahoo! News

This article is showing a great success story that you probably will not hear about in most main stream media news cycles.  But the fact is that the right people in Afghanistan are making a lot of progress.  Are there is alot of problems with Afghanistan?  Yes.  But are there alot of good things happening you don't hear about?  Definitely! 

These Afghan commandos are seeing what the United States is all about. 
"It is like the U.S. — nobody cares if I am Italian, Irish or Polish,"
said the captain. Military embed rules for Special Forces units do not
allow him to be identified by name. "The only thing that matters is the
quality of the soldier. It's the example of what we are trying to
accomplish here."
This is the larger challenge here.  The issue is building a nation, and at the heart of a nation is it's military.  The more professional, the more inspired to protect and serve the country you are fighting for is a crucial element to national success. 
Duplicating that achievement across the wider army may be more
difficult, because the commandos are the army's best recruits and
receive intensive training,
Munoz said. Still, they are proof that training can produce results,
and Munoz said "you win the war" if the U.S. can extend the results to
the rest of the army.
Really, all we Americans want is what this Afghan commando leader, Col Frarid says:
"We have problems in our society, but not in the commandos," said
Farid, who like many in Afghanistan uses only one name. "We can kill
many enemy, but most important for me as a leader is building identity.
I am seeing the benefits of that unity of identity."

This is simply awesome, this is the type of leadership and national pride that Americans have been trying to show the Afghans over the years that we would like them to have, so that they can build a nation and protect it from people like the Taliban.  A peaceful prosperous nation, that is the goal and we, as Americans would like nothing more than to help Afghans achieve that goal get achieved.  Yes, it is a long hard road to get there since Afghanistan is about 1000 years behind Iraq in terms of nation building.  But that can be accelerated with the US and NATO help we are giving them.  All the Afghans need is the 'want' and the 'drive' to achieve success, and we will help them get there as we are doing.  The commando unit in this article should be commended, not only for their bravery in fighting for their country, not just sectarian tribe, but also for their vision in seeing a country united under one flag and the possibilities that await them. 

Things are definitely moving in the right direction.  And for all those haters out there who think progress is measured in terms of attacks/bombing and killings?  This is war, that happens alot.  As long as there are people like Col. Frarid and his Afghan commandos, Afghanistan is definitly on the winning path.  It is only a matter of time and determination for the rest of the Afghan Army and civillians to come around and see the light that the commandos have already seen.

This is Why the C.I.A is VITAL TO NATIONAL SECURITY!

KSM's Sleeper Agents Posed A Serious Threat

Thomas Joscelyn had a great article in the Weekly Standard yesterday with information pertaining to the events and actions of Al-Qeada AFTER 9/11 and what they were planning to do and how the C.I.A and other intelligences agencies STOPPED more 9/11 type attacks with information gained from WATERBOARDING Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind.  Further PROOF that Enhanced Interrogation Techniques WORKED and provided vital intelligence to our security agencies to foil more terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. 

This just proves that VP dick Cheney was absolutely CORRECT, when he said that "E.I.T. (Enhanced interrogation Techniques) saved lives and prevented more Al-Qeada plots from being perpetrated." 

"...the CIA found that KSM became the U.S. Government's "preeminent" source on al Qaeda."

The Democrats, ESPECIALLY house Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) should be utterly ASHAMED of themselves for degrading and insulting the very people who are working hard to make America safe.  Personally I don't give a rats' ass about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, or any other Al-Qeada member.  I say waterboard all of them, everyday for the rest of their natural lives, if there were ever a case FOR torture to gain intelligence on further attacks, this is it.  Khalid Sheikh Mohammed killed 3,000 innocent people who were minding their own business.  If there ever were a special place in hell for the worst of human kind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed surely deserves to be there. 
"The story behind the identification and arrest of al Qaeda operatives working for KSM in March of 2003 is an unequivocal success story. Perhaps KSM's sleeper agents did not have their finger on the trigger
at the precise moment they were detained. But they were clearly preparing al Qaeda's next attacks. The officials who oversaw the dismantling of KSM's American-based network deserve our debt of
gratitude. This includes those officials who were responsible for getting KSM to divulge his secrets
"

Good for the C.I.A, good for America, bad for Al-Qeada, good for the War on Terror - Yes, I still use that term because it is incredibly relevant still today, we are in a war against terrorism.

About Time Someone Does Something About ACORN - Census Bureau Severs Ties With ACORN !!!

Census Bureau Severs Ties With ACORN - Political News - FOXNews.com


Wow, FINALLY!!  Finally something concrete is being done about ACORN.  This is WONDERFUL news!!  They are a corrupt organization from the top down it is so obvious.  They committed voter fraud nationwide in the 2008 Presidential Election, but the investigations into ACORN have been killed because John Conyers (D-MI), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee says the "powers that be killed it."  Who are these powers that be that are higher up than a senior member of Congress?

The "powers that be" don't want you to see this photo of Obama working at ACORN, which was SCRUBBED from ACORN's website during the 2008 Presidential election.  Gee, I wonder why?



Wait, who was one of their top lawyers?  Why, President Barak Hussein Obama!  Now isn't that interesting.  And you wonder why MOST of the American people think that the election was stolen and want a redo.  Unfortunatly you cannot do a redo election, but you can limit the damage being done by the Obama Administration and their "Organizers" ACORN and others. 


Great Article by Lt. Col. Ralph Peters on 9/11 and Why Americans Have Forgotten Who the Enemy Is

Betraying our dead

Everything in this article by Lt. Col. Ralph Peters is absolutely true.  Is is simply disgusting to me that people continue to deny that ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS ATTACKED us.  Lt. Col. Ralph Peters is right to say that:

Instead of acknowledging that radical Islam is the problem, we
elected a president who blames America, whose idea of freedom is the
right for women to suffer in silence behind a veil -- and who counts
among his mentors and friends those who damn our country or believe
that our own government staged the tragedy of September 11, 2001.


President Barak Obama... I shutter a the fact that this asshole is our President.  Barak Obama is truely Anti-American. Just look at the people he surrounds himself with, and you will see who he is.  My mom's once told me " Show me who your friends are and I'll show you who you are."  This is so true when it come to Barak Obama. 

Instead of cracking down on Islamist extremism, we've excused it.

Instead of killing terrorists, we free them.

Instead of relentlessly hunting Islamist madmen, we seek to appease them.

Thia is truely a recipe for disaster.  When the next 9/11 comes, there will be no one to blame but Barak Obama and the Democratic party for weakening our defenses, letting terrorists who we captured after 9/11 go free, giving the terrorists we do have in custody the rights of the Geneva Conventions for a standing army (WHICH THEY ARE NOT AND DO NOT DESERVE TO GET), and pursuing a policy of appeasement with radical ISLAM.  Yes, it is ISLAM that is the problem NOT AMERICA.  Yet our retard of a president, Barak Hussein Obama continues to try and talk it out with ISLAMIC radicals who are intent on DESTROYING AMERICA any chance they get and are constantly working to do so. 

It is time for American to re-awaken to the mentality it had on September 12th 2001, frankly, it is time to start kicking ass again, but this time do it without the Democratic party (who sympathize with all our enemies, aid and abet them), and do it with a real America at the top in the Presidency, not Barak HUSSEIN Obama who wishes to and IS doing more harm to America than Osama Bin Laden ever did to us.

AP Rips Obama HealthCare Speech, Proves He Blatantly Lied to the American People and Congress

FACT CHECK: Obama uses iffy math on deficit pledge - Yahoo! News

Wow, the Associated Press actually does a pretty good job here breaking down Obama's talking points during his speech to a joint session of Congress.  They missed a few points but for a main stream media article that's not too bad since they still have a slobbering love affair with Obama.  All President Obama could do was reitterate the same old, tired talking points from his left wing nutroots base.  He accomplished nothing with his address to the joint session of Congress except for making himself look more and more like the jackass he is and has always been.  Only now it is really out there for the world to see. 

I think the two most accurate comments by lawmakers came from Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Sen. Bob Corker
(R-Tenn.).  Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) one of Obama's most consistent critics, saw some room for compromise. "It was a good speech, the problem is that what he wants and what they've written are two totally different things," said Coburn, an OB-GYN. “I'm willing to compromise to get things fixed. But I'm not willing to put the government in charge because we don't have a good track record."

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said it best when he commented after the speech: "I sat there tonight wondering what the purpose of this evening was. I was hoping to hear the president flesh out a middle ground, but instead we heard platitudes and campaign rhetoric."

Also, the outburst from Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) as he shouted "You lie!" when Obama claimed his plan wouldn't offer free care to illegal immigrants, although bad in form, was dead on.  
You lie! to President Obama. Rep. Joe Wilson R-(SC)

At least Rep. Joe Wilson R-(SC) has the balls to say what most Americans are thinking and say it in a forum that will be heard and not squashed by the Main Stream Media - who bury any bad news for Obama, and put on the front page any good news no matter how erroneous it may be just because they love Obama so much. 

Joe Wilson was speaking out for millions of Americans who are sick and tired of having ILLEGAL immigrants ruining our healthcare system.  ObamaCare is just another way to sneak them into the system, so that when the immigration reform issue comes up he can say that we already have them in our health care system, therefore, why should we not allow them to become citizens?  Well Mr. President, let me put it bluntly - BECAUSE THEY BROKE THE LAW COMING HERE, THEY SUCK UP ALL OF OUR BENEFITS (which are supposed to be for AMERICAN CITIZENS!), AND THEY DO NOT PAY TAXES OR HELP OUR COUNTRY IN ANYWAY.   GET THEM OUT OF AMERICA NOW!

... And now a taste of Democrat hypocrasy:
Democrats Boo Bush During 2005 SOTU


Republicans to Obama: Here Are Our Health Plans - Political News - FOXNews.com

Via FoxNews ...Republicans have an offer -- or 35 -- for President Obama if he is serious about wanting to listen to alternative proposals.  And now says the Republicans do not have any solutions or plans for healthcare?  Oh yeah that is barak Obama, but wait, not so fast...
"You've got the House working group -- solutions working group on health care; you've got a proposal there. You've got H.R. 3400. Or you could go to healthcare.gop.gov and you can see all of the proposals -- all of them. They're right there," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters on Thursday.

"The thing that's killing me is that those very members on the
Republican side have over the course of the last five months offered
some 800 amendments and individual pieces of legislation to the -- to
the president and to (House Speaker) Nancy (Pelosi) and Harry Reid, to
say, 'Hey, this is our contribution.' Every last piece has been
rejected," said Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.


"So all of this, you know, 'We want to work with you, kumbaya; let's
all get along,' in my view is just blue smoke and mirrors," Steele told
FOX News. "It's typical Washington stuff to say that, and then to do
what we've seen, to have Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid run the tables on
the kind of health care that they want to put in place, and then look
at Republicans and point the finger and go, 'Well, you guys aren't
playing fair or nice with us.'"

And so you look at the multitude of different proposals that the Republicans have offered and they are all sensible, and cost virtually nothing to execute aside from the paper they are written on. Yet we constantly hear President Barak Obama and Democrats who keep saying that Republicans are not offering any alternatives.  Lies, all lies!  As you can see in the following article by the Washington Examiner.

Democrats stifle Republican health care plans | Washington Examiner

This is just a snippet of the article but it drives the point home over who is telling the truth and who is lying when they say Republicans - or in Obama straw man speak 'other other side,' or 'some people.'

Rep. Tom Price, the Georgia Republican who heads the House GOP Study
Committee, came to President Obama's speech Wednesday night itching to
make a point. Price, who also happens to be an orthopedic surgeon, has
often heard the president accuse Republicans of criticizing Democratic
health care proposals while having no plans of their own. He expected
Obama to do the same Wednesday night.

"We knew the president would at some point say something like, 'and
the other side has no ideas,' " Price says. So Price and his Republican
colleagues brought with them copies of the more than 30 health care
reform bills they have proposed in the House this year.

Obama didn't directly accuse Republicans of not having a plan. But
he did say he would welcome "serious" health care proposals. "My door
is always open," Obama said.

That's when Price held up the sheaf of papers he was carrying -- a
copy of H.R. 3400, the Empowering Patients First Act, which Price and
the Republican Study Committee proposed in July. Other GOP lawmakers
held up their own bills. Some raised a list of all the health care
bills -- there are more than 30 -- proposed by members of the Study
Committee.

Why use the props? "To say in a quiet and respectful way, 'Here are
our ideas,' " Price says. "To say to the president, 'You're not being
honest with the American people when you say that there haven't been
ideas put forward, and that you've listened to them, because you
haven't.' "


If you're on the fence wondering if the Democrats' heath care proposal a.k.a ObamaCare will raise taxes on the middle class then you're not going to like this

It's not every day that you hear a Democratic senator charge that a
fellow Democrat is proposing to raise taxes on the middle class, but
that is what happened on Tuesday when Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.,
ripped into the health-care bill developed by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mt.,
the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

Referring to Baucus, Rockefeller said, "He should understand that (his
proposal) means that virtually every single coal miner is going to have
a big, big tax put on them because the tax will be put on the company
and the company will immediately pass it down and lower benefits
because they are self insured, most of them, because they are larger.
They will pass it down, lower benefits, and probably this will mean
higher premiums for coal miners who are getting very good health care
benefits for a very good reason. That is, like steelworkers and others,
they are doing about the most dangerous job that can be done in
America."

"So that’s not really a smart idea," Rockefeller
continued. "In fact, it’s a very dangerous idea, and I’m not even sure
the coal miners in West Virginia are aware that this is what is waiting
if this bill passes
."


President Obama keeps saying that doctors all around the country, as a majority support ObamaCare - BULLSHIT!

What are you going to do when 45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting If Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul?
Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul
plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would
think about shutting down their practices or retiring early if it were
adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.

The poll contradicts the claims of not only the White House, but
also doctors' own lobby — the powerful American Medical Association —
both of which suggest the medical profession is behind the proposed
overhaul.

It also calls into question whether an overhaul is even doable; 72%
of the doctors polled disagree with the administration's claim that the
government can cover 47 million more people with better-quality care at
lower cost.

A Liberals' World... How Messed Up and Skewed Are They?

Salon.com | Too late for Obama to turn it around?
"The still inexplicably revered George W. Bush ballooned our national deficits like a drunken sailor"

Really?  'Ballooned our national debt' you say?  How about Obama?  In 6 months President Obama INCREASED our national debt by about 8 times what President George W. Bush did in his entire 8 years in office COMBINED!.  How do you explain that?  You can't unless you admit to the fact that DEMOCRATS and Barak Obama have been the one "ballooning" our national debt. 


In the above graph you can see that, in all 8 years of George W. Bush's' presidency, the combined total deficit is roughly $1.8 trillion, that's over 8 years, and 2 wars!!  President Barak Obama on the other hand has increased our national deficit by $1.85 TRILLION in his first 6 months in office! 

How is that for "spending like a drunken sailor?"

No Wonder People Hate Congress!

The reason that videos end up on YouTube is because of idiotic statements - eg. by Baron Hill like this is "HIS" townhall meeting.  Really?  So this town hall is not for the people who ELECTED Mr. Hill to his position?  Yeah, it's because of things like this that are making Americans really really mad at their Congressmen, because really, had Baron Hill just allowed this student to film the town hall meeting, report it as it went along, all would be fine I'm sure.  As far as I've seen, his rejection of a legitimate request to film is the reason he's going to be on YouTube making an ass out of himself.  The only thing Congressmen have to do is to listen to the constituents, not degrade or demean them, and represent them with their votes on bills in Congress.  Now when politicians decide to do the exact opposite - that is when you have a problem with the people.  Remember, the people put you there, and the people can and will remove you from office.

Disgusting.. making fun of 9/11

I wrote the following email to Jeff Swystun,
Chief Communications Officer and Pat Sloan,
Senior Vice President, Corporate Director of Public Affairs.  Since I could not find any contact information on DDB Brasil website, I figured the global headquarters was best. 

You are in SERIOUS trouble.  This was as tasteless as you can possibly
get.  I can only imagine that your reputation is going to suffer
tremendously.  I had never heard of you before this advertisement came
out and I can assure you that your imagine has only suffered greatly in
the eyes of many Americans and decent people who are disgusted by this
ad. 

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,545402,00.html?test=latestnews

As this quote taken directly from your website says:

"Respect for Our World

As influential communicators, DDB is in a position to use creativity
as a force for good. As Bill Bernbach so eloquently put it, "All of us
who professionally use the mass media are the shapers of society. We
can vulgarize that society. We can brutalize it. Or we can help lift it
onto a higher level."


Surely,
in the case of your Brazillian branch you clearly chose the lower path
and CHOSE to vulgarize and brutalize the United States of America and
are making a mockery of the 3,000+ individuals who perished that day by
an act of terror, NOT an act of nature or mother earth. 

At least the World Wildlife Fund had enough decency to realize
that 9/11 was a national tragedy not some natural event and is taking
action to remove their trademark from this disgusting ad.  You, DDB, on
the other hand created this monstrosity and should be greatly shamed by
this.  Whomever your people in Brazil are that created this ad should
be fired and shamed on the way out. 

Disgusting, it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.  Not exactly what you want to be remembered by ya think?

The following people were directly involved in making this mockery of a United States national tragedy:

The advert titled Tsunami was done by DDB BRASIL advertising agency

Your anger should be directed at the above people. 

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) HAS GOT TO GO ASAP!!

As if the hypocrisy could not get any worse for the Democrats, it actually does.  Charlie rangel (D-NY) may in fact be the MOST CORRUPT politician in the entire Congress... IN BOTH HOUSES!!  Yet Nancy Pelosi doesn't seem to mind that an enormous tax cheat, and serial tax raiser himself, who writes the tax law in the USA does not have to pay taxes or follow his own tax laws.  SAY WHAY?!?!?!  Exactly, that is the response of 99.99999% of Americans who are fed up with this circus of crooks going on in Washington.  Yet where is teh mainstream meadi on this?  No where.. why?  Because they are completely in the tank for Democrats and the Obama administration.  DISGUSTING IN ITSELF NO LESS. 
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will let Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.)
keep his chairmanship despite his failing to report hundreds of
thousands of dollars in assets on federal disclosure forms, according
to Democratic aides.

“There’s enough [failures to disclose assets] that it’s starting to
look more like a pattern…the public has a right to know if he pays his
taxes and if he has a pattern of not paying his taxes,” Issa said in an
interview with The Hill. “If he failed to file his taxes in any of
these circumstances, he should not be allowed to be the chairman of the
tax-writing committee.”
This man, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), needs to be investigated by a special prosecutor, NOT appointed by Nancy Pelosi (because she is just as corrupt as Rangel), but someone who is not partisan and who is not from Washington. 

You may also want to check on Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn) while you are also investigating tax cheats and frauds. 

AstroTurfing? I think NOT!!!

Real American People.. FED UP WITH OBAMA AND DEMOCRATS!!!

Oh the Hypocrisy Coming From Democrats About "Astroturfing" !!!!

Taken from Gateway Pundit
A Health Care for America Now
(HCAN) organizer is caught on tape outside the meeting instructing
supporters on how to shout down opponents who get up to ask a question
and how to block them from speaking at Rep. Jan Schakowski's town hall
meeting.

Notice the HCAN stickers he is handing out at the end of the video:

HCAN organizer explains how to block opposing views
This was recorded on August 31, 2009 outside the Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) town hall meeting in Skokie, Illinois.

In case you forgot... Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) is the one who boasted to a group of radical supporters that a government provided insurance plan would put private insurers out of business.
She admitted it would destroy the private insurance industry.


Seriously, the Hypocrisy coming from Democrats and Barak Obama is astounding.  Every video that we have seen from the protesters of ObamaCare have been normal people holding home made signs with and voicing legitimate concern about the direction the country is taking.  Conversely, practically every single video we have seen of ObamaCare supporters have been unions holding pre-made ObamaCare signs.  Now we have this video, which clearly shows ObamaCare supporters astro-turfing at their best. 

And Democrats wonder why their numbers in every single poll are tanking to new lows literally every week. 
Zogby has Obama at 42%!!!!!
Rasmussen has him at 45%!!! with a -11 Presidential Approval rating only getting worse.. OUCH!!

If Obama and the Democrats weren't such asses, I'd feel bad for them.  but I don't feel bad for them because EVERY SINGLE THING THEY HAVE DONE HAS BEEN TO UNDERMINE THE USA AND ALL OF IT'S FOUNDING PRINCIPLES!!! 

So, pour out a little liquor, the Democrats are digging their own grave and will soon be in it. 

Republican Voters Say GOP Reps in Congress Still Out of Touch

You can say that again!

Republican Voters Say GOP Reps in Congress Still Out of Touch - Rasmussen Reports™
Not only is this statistic telling of the GOP:
Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republican voters say their party’s
representatives in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters nationwide
over the past several years.

        But so is this one:
Republican voters overwhelmingly believe it is more important for the
party to stand for what it believes in rather than trying to work with
President Barack Obama. Eighty-four percent (84%) of Republicans hold
that view while just 14% favor more co-operation with the President.
As for me personally I could not have said it any better than that.  The GOP is out of touch because they do not follow the principles of conservatism anymore and are too afraid of the mainstream media (which is the Democratic party's mouthpiece - there really is no point in watching network news anymore).  The second quote is where it's at.  The GOP needs to stick with their principles and oppose EVERYTHING Barak Obama and the Democrats are trying to do to undermine this great country of ours.  Health-care, Cap and Trade, Wealth Redistribution, the changing of contract law, and amnesty for ILLEGAL immigrants.  All these things are undermining America and are destroying the US from within.  Osama Bin Laden is probably sitting in his cave wondering and smiling at the fact that a sitting US President has done more damage and destruction to the United States than bin Laden ever wishes he could. 

Wow I Could Not Have said It Any Better Than This Comment on HotAir.com

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Rasmussen: Obama at 45%
If your political strength comes from a perception by voters that you are smart and can get the job done, then you can be forgiven a mistake (e.g, predicting that the “stimulus” would be effective). After all, everyone makes mistakes, the presidency is an incredibly difficult job, and Americans are willing to give almost anyone a second chance. A reputation for competence can be regained if mistakes are followed by successes.

But if your political strength comes from a perception by voters that you will transcend partisanship, unite the country, and change the culture in Washington, and then you govern from the extreme, attack critics as un-American, and get caught repeatedly saying one thing while doing another, there will be no forgiveness. Trust, once lost, is rarely regained

I believe Obama’s declining polls are not an indication that Americans are upset that the stimulus didn’t work and unemployment remains high, or that reforming healthcare is proving harder than advertised. Rather, I believe it reflects disillusionment that they were hoodwinked by a charlatan, a magnificent fraud.

If I’m right, the polls won’t rebound much when the economy does.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
