Two Democrats got into a verbal altercation — and according to one a physical one — on the floor of the House on Thursday night over an appropriations earmark one was seeking.

After the House floor had largely cleared following a series of votes, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) split apart from a heated conversation and began yelling at one another.

The confrontation began with the two talking in each other’s faces and gesturing animatedly with their hands. Obey then attempted to walk away, but Waters kept following him. Obey then put his hand on Waters arm and shoulder, and Waters became irate.

Obey again turned away, dismissing Waters by throwing up his hands, but Waters continued to stalk him, talking to his back and making a shoving motion.

Waters followed Obey down to the well of the House, and as the confrontation — and shoves — continued, Obey turned and told her: “You are out of line.”

“You’re out of line,” Waters shot while walking down toward the well.

“You’re out of line,” Obey shot back before turning and walking away.

But then Obey stopped, turned back toward Waters, and shouted: “I’m not going to approve that earmark!”

Obey turned away, but Waters went to go huddle with members of the Congressional Black Caucus. She could be over heard telling them: “He touched me first.”

Waters was escorted by her colleagues into the cloakroom.

Obey then conversed for a few minutes with House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). Hoyer's office said the two did not discuss the incident but instead talked only about the appropriations process. Obey had been speaking with Hoyer and leadership staff for most of the vote series prior to his encounter with Waters.

Obey then exited the chamber.

But Waters soon returned briefly, again telling her colleagues: “He touched me.”

Waters then disappeared into the cloakroom.

Waters and Obey have had an ongoing dispute about an earmark for a public school employment training center in Los Angeles that was named after Waters when she was a state representative.

Obey rejected that earmark as violating policies against so-called “monuments to me.” Waters revised her request to go to the school district’s whole adult employment training program, so the district could decide whether the money would go to the school named after Waters.

Thursday was the committee markup of the spending bill that would include the earmark, and Obey let it be known that the earmark would be denied. She approached him and complained.

A Waters aide said that Obey had pushed her.

Ellis Brachman, a spokesman for Obey, confirmed that the dispute was about an earmark Obey denied Waters, but placed the blame on Waters for escalating the situation.

“As I understand it, she was the one who pressed the issue,” Brachman said. “The chairman repeatedly tried to end the confrontation.”

Obey-Waters clash on House floor

Politico

House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wisc.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) engaged in a late afternoon shouting match on the House floor after Obey reportedly rebuffed Waters on a $1 million earmark request, aides and witnesses said.

Witnesses, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it appeared that Waters pushed or shoved Obey.

The pair were seen shouting at each other and had to be separated by members -- who were gathered on the floor casting final votes before heading off to a party at the White House.

Waters, according a Democratic staffer familiar with the situation, approached Obey to ask him to fund one of her longstanding earmarks, the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.

Obey -- who irked Waters a few weeks back by banning "Monuments to me" funding projects named after the politicians that earmark them -- told her no, emphatically enough to be heard across the chamber.

"I'm not going to approve that earmark!" Obey shouted.

The two veteran Democrats -- each pugnacious and 71 years old -- began shouting, with the L.A. area-Congresswoman following Obey around the chamber, reportedly suggesting he channel the vocational money through a local school district.

At some point, they collided, witnesses say, with one Obey ally claiming the lean Waters "tried to shove" the stout Obey.

UPDATED: Waters spokesman Michael Levin called to say that the center -- which provides a wide array of health care, automotive, GED and job preparedness training programs -- was named after Waters before she entered the House by LA school officials.

"That's a point she was trying to make with Chairman Obey," Levin said.

The program Levin said, serves hundreds of low-income people a year and is located near four housing projects with sky-high unemployment rates. Waters' funding request is needed to keep the center going, he added, because may of the centers' state grants are on the chopping block, a result of the California's staggering deficit.

He refused to comment on the specifics of the scrap, saying, "I wasn't a witness, but it's my understanding it was a heated exchange."

Waters told colleagues that Obey "touched me first," according to The Hill.

"One testament to her work is the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center, a multimillion dollar campus providing education and employment opportunities to residents of the Watts area," reads a description of the center posted on her Web site.

Obama To Blame for Economic Problems

Washington Post

While most U.S. voters still blame the Bush Administration for the nation’s economic problems, a growing number are inclined to blame President Barack Obama.

Obama only has a few weeks at most to keep using the “inherited from my predecessor” defense, if that. The next joblessness report comes out in early July.

The likelihood of severe unemployment extending into the 2010 midterm elections and beyond poses a significant political hurdle to President Obama and congressional Democrats, who are already under fire for what critics label profligate spending. Continuing high unemployment rates would undercut the fundamental argument behind much of that spending: the promise that it will create new jobs and improve the prospects of working Americans, which Obama has called the ultimate measure of a healthy economy.

Obama tersely acknowledged in an interview with Bloomberg Television last week that unemployment is likely to peak above 10 percent.

"They even predicted that if we passed it quickly, unemployment wouldn't go higher than 8 percent. Well, here we are just a few months later and the unemployment rate is approaching 10 percent," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). "The administration admits that their earlier predictions were a guess -- and that they guessed wrong."

Wild Thing's comment......

You bet it is all on Obama and he better stop with the it is Bush's fault bs.

If a conservative had become president in this last election we would already be on the up swing to revocery, I really believe that. There would not have been one HUGE spending bill after the other like Obama and Pelosi have been doing. This is all on Obama and he can get as upset, terse, snotty to those asking about it all he wants and it does not change that HE is the one to blame!

Apology From That Boxer Broad? No way Jose!

Sen. Boxer Offers No Apology for Rebuking Brigadier General Who Called Her 'Ma'am'

FOX news

Aside from a briefly worded statement about a "friendly" conversation she had with an Army brigadier general after dressed him down a day earlier for calling her "ma'am," Sen. Barbara Boxer remained silent Friday in the face of growing criticism as to whether she owed an apology.

She may be a lady and a senator, but don't expect an apology from Barbara Boxer for making the distinction to an Army brigadier general this week.

"Senator Boxer spoke with General Walsh yesterday and he said he was fine with her comments at the hearing," Boxer spokesman Zachary Coile said in a statement sent Friday to FOXNews.com.

"It was a very friendly conversation and they reiterated their respect for each other and how much they look forward to working together," he said.

The controversy began when Walsh, with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, was testifying during a hearing before Boxer's Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and he summoned the audacity to call the California senator "ma'am."

Boxer immediately interrupted him before he could answer one of her questions.

"You know, do me a favor," a clearly agitated Boxer said. "Could you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?"

"Yes, ma'am," Walsh replied.

"It's just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it, yes, thank you," she said.

"Yes, senator," he answered.

But Walsh was following military protocol, which advises officers to use "sir" or "ma'am" when addressing anyone higher than them on the chain of command..

The Pentagon refused to jump into the fray Friday.

"The matter was between the two and we have nothing to add," Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said in a statement to FOXNews.com

The Veterans of Foreign Wars supported both Boxer and Walsh and downplayed the exchange.

"The general is 100 percent correct in responding to members of Congress with 'Sir' or 'Ma'am.' The senator, on the other hand, is also correct, though probably everyone now agrees that this should have been handled differently, if at all," the group said in a statement.

"There are far more important issues facing America -- from national security to the proper care and treatment of veterans, military service member and their families -- and this difference of opinion in salutations is not one of them."

But the National Republican Senatorial Committee tried to take political advantage of the incident by collecting signatures on a petition reprimanding Boxer.

"All of our military men and women deserve more dignity than to be on the receiving end of condescension and disrespect, especially at the hands of our elected officials," the organization wrote in an e-mail.

Wild Thing's comment........

Senator is not a rank and she does not, contrary to democrat party beliefs, rule anyone. She holds a public trust as a public servant and does not rule or hold a position over anyone, even a general. These new Nazis believe that they rule rather than serve.

Sorry but WTF is this?

The Veterans of Foreign Wars supported both Boxer and Walsh and downplayed the exchange.

Wrongo!

Enough with the kissing up to the Nazi left being condesending to our military.

Look at this....The General was correct. The POS Boxer was wrong.

Scroll down to # 11

It says Ma'am LOL so jump in a lake B**** Boxer.

This kind of thing really ticks me off. Too many years of seeing disrespect to our military from the left. Too many things said by the left that are NOT made a big deal about because of the double standard. She should be polishing his boots and be glad he defends our country.

Liberal HAG Public Servant Barbara Boxer Has No Respect For Our Military

Thank you Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh for your service ito our country. Please know we all do not feel like this ungrateful woman feels and we look forward to paying our respect to all of our military each day. ~ Wild Thing

Mark Levin's Comment about this:

Wild Thing's comment........

Boxer is pathetic, and breathtakingly ignorant. Her petulant demand to be addressed as "Senator" only goes to demonstrate her own sense of inferiority and insecurity. Her interrupting the General shows her rudeness and self-centered nature. Of the many insulting things in our society, the fact that our military officers have to answer to ignorant twits like Boxer is one of the worst.

God how I would love to have heard him say, “And you can call me Brigadier General”!

“When you act like a US Senator and not a Marxist fool for foreign nations, maybe I will.”

Propaganda of Hate from Shepard Smith and Other Lefties After Shooting By a LEFTIE!

Shep Smith attacks right-wing 'crazies'

Rips people questioning eligibility as being 'out there in a scary place'

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, host of the top-rated evening cable newscast, believes Americans challenging the eligibility of Barack Obama to hold the office of president are "crazies," saying "there is no truth whatsoever" to the suggestion Obama is not a "natural born citizen."

Smith made the remark during analysis of today's shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, where an elderly gunman opened fire with a rifle, killing a security guard before himself being shot. Police were probing an alleged white supremacist, James von Brunn, as the assailant.

During his interview with Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Smith said:

"There are these crazies out there who want to pretend [Obama's] not a citizen of the United States, who want to pretend that his religion is something they see as in some way troublesome to them and all of us. And there is a group perpetuating this thought, and there is a culture to which you can attach yourself very easily through the Internet. ... We know it's absolutely – there is no truth whatsoever – zero – to any of those ideas, yet they live within the computer and they fester in people's minds."

Beirich agreed completely with Smith's remarks, as she responded:

"You're hitting the nail on the head about these kinds of crazed conspiracies whether they're about the president, or we're hearing things like FEMA setting up camps to round up Americans and put them in. I'm getting bad sort of deja-vu from the 1990s when anti-government militias were on the rise, when Tim McVeigh committed that [bombing] in Oklahoma City and I really am hoping that we're not going through a repeat of that."

Smith made numerous references to a Department of Homeland Security report warning of potential violence from "right-wing extremists," and said he's been personally disturbed by an increase in e-mail to him from people "who are way out there on a limb ... out there in a scary place."

Ironically, Smith himself allegedly engaged in activity some might deem questionable.

Shepard Smith's 2000 mugshot

As WND previously reported, during the presidential election fiasco in November 2000, Smith was arrested at the Florida Capitol for allegedly driving his Mazda Millenia into another reporter who was standing in a parking space she attempted to save for a friend. The victim, freelance journalist Maureen Walsh of Tallahassee, was hospitalized and released later the same day with bruises on her knees and legs.

According to NewsBlues, a witness to the incident said Smith "intentionally ran into her with his car to try and get her to move from the parking spot. She was thrown onto the hood of the car and ended up on the ground. Smith then parked the car, turned off the engine, turned to the crews assisting the reporter and said "f--- you" and walked into the state capital. Police and paramedics were called."

"When arrested on the street outside the capital, Smith said he couldn't understand why this was happening ... they then handcuffed him."

Smith was charged with a felony the day of the offense, but the charge was later downgraded to a misdemeanor and eventually dropped.

Two hours after Smith's TV remarks about "crazies," his network colleague Glenn Beck said of the shooting in Washington, "This is not the work of right-wing conservatives."

"This guy is a lone gunman nut job," Beck said. "I'm not stirring the pot. I am pointing out that the pot is boiling and there is trouble in America. ... Common sense tells you that there are very hateful people on the right and on the left."

Wild Thing's comment.............

CHRIS MATTHEWS: This is a political action by a far right extremist

ANDERSON COOPER: The rise of hate groups in the United States of right-wing extremists.

KEITH OLBERMANN: Right-wing religious based domestic terrorism.

BROWN: Right-wing extremism.

JOAN WALSH: There is a rising climate of right-wing hate, a lot of it directed at Obama.

Well, who did the shooter in Washington D.C. at the Holocaust Museum hate? He hated both Bushes. He hated neocons. He hated John McCain. He hated Republicans. He hated Jews as well. He believes in an inside job conspiracy of 9/11. This guy is a leftist, if anything. This guy's beliefs, this guy's hate stems from influence that you find on the left, not on the right.

People on the left are the ones that hate the Jews, I have never met a conservative that hated Jews. People on the left are the ones that preach racism such as Rev. Right, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton etc. The left is doing a huge propaganda thing against the Right that is very bad and dangerous too. The way they lie and notice how all those people had the same speel moments after the shooting. And they want us to think they actually are giving the news????? NO WAY it is all about propaganda including Shepard Smith.

Gibbs vs.UK Press

Robert Gibbs, rattled by Telegraph story, lashes out at British press

Telegraph co.uk

Posted By: Toby Harnden
US Editor

It's difficult to know where to start with the extraordinary outburst by Robert Gibbs, White House press secretary, after he was asked about the Telegraph story based on an interview with Maj Gen (Retd) Antonio Taguba, author of a 2004 report into the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal.

Gibbs didn't feel he was on sure enough ground to attack Taguba or deny the Telegraph's story so he attempted this..............................

Lashes out at British media

Politico 44

Robert Gibbs swatted down reports in British newspapers that suppressed photos of prisoner abuse included graphic ... images of torture and rape — and took a hard shot at the overseas media.

“I want to speak generally about some reports I’ve witnessed over the past few years in the British media. And in some ways, I’m surprised it filtered down,” Gibbs began. “Let’s just say if I wanted to look up — if I wanted to read a writeup today of how Manchester United fared last night in the Champion’s League cup, I might open up a British newspaper. If I was looking for something that bordered on truthful news, I’m not entirely sure it’d be in the first pack of clips I’d pick up.”

“You're not going to find very many of these newspapers and truth within 25 words of each other,” Gibbs continued.

Back to the article by the Telegraph.co.uk...............................

The Obama White House seems to view the British media as insufficiently compliant and respectful. They were intensely irritated about UK coverage of the DVDs gift fiasco - pushing American reporters very hard not to write about it.

Obama himself gave a little flash of his disdain for the British press at his G20 press conference when he took a question from Justin Webb of the BBC and noted the hubbub in the hall. "See, everybody's complaining," he said. "I'm sure that's all your fellow British journalists."

All this flies in the face of Obama's promises. In February 2008, he told me: "As somebody who myself lived overseas for a time, the world would see me as a different kind of president, somebody who could see the world through their eyes."

Well how can you do that when your press secretary trashes the press of your foremost foreign ally and suggests that only American journalists can report US politics?

President George W. Bush was clearly irritated by the British press on occasions, particularly the practice of visiting UK reporters to remain in their seats while their American counterparts stood up. But he engaged in banter and even came to enjoy the often very direct questioning from the likes of Nick Robinson of the BBC.

Bush, of course, gave many more foreign press interviews than Obama has. He regularly held foreign press round tables before overseas trips - a tradition that Obama, who prefers US outlets - particularly niche magazines who are guaranteed to ask soft questions - seems to have dispensed with.

Wild Thing's comment........

The original article was VERY straightforward, merely reporting the fact that Obama changed his mind (rightly, in my opinion) on this issue and not commenting on that change of mind. So I don't really see what the WH is so upset about. It is a simple statement of fact, nothing more.

For the most part I appreciate the Telegraph.co.uk,, and the Canadian Free Press they have had many stories that either never show up in our media other then at Fox, or days later with the slant on them that CNN and MSNBC does to the news.

LOL I wonder if Obama understands that the Telegraph doesn’t care what Obama thinks and probably won’t respond well to thug tactics?

'Reid must go,' Say Protesters on Las Vegas Strip ~ Obama Should Too!!!!

May 26 fundraiser at Caesars Palace, the from NBC Vegas

'Reid must go,' say protesters on Strip

Las Vegas Review-Journal

As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and President Barack Obama prepared for a fundraiser Tuesday evening to help get Reid re-elected, about 100 protesters worked the Strip in hopes of preventing just that.

Carrying signs and chanting slogans such as "Heave ho! Reid must go!" the protesters in front of Caesars Palace, where the fundraising concert was to take place, criticized Reid's "tax-and-spend," "big government" ways.

"I'm not a big fan of what's going on in D.C.," said the 6-foot-4, heavily tattooed Dan Stephens, a local tattoo artist who brought his three young daughters and also-heavily-tattooed wife to the protest. "It seems like our representatives have forgotten who hired them."

The mostly Republican protesters said they want representatives who advocate for small government and are against tax increases.

"We need someone who shares our core principles: family, self-sufficiency, low taxes and getting government out of our lives," said Dean Meek, a 51-year-old property manager who was carrying a sign that read: "Don't tax me, bro."

The protest was organized by Our Country Deserves Better PAC, a conservative, California-based political action committee that is campaigning against Reid's re-election.

The committee held a news conference Tuesday morning in Las Vegas to highlight its $100,000 anti-Reid ad campaign. Radio, television and Internet ads calling Reid a tax-and-spender who does not respect the military were airing statewide, timed to coincide with the president's visit.

Many of the protesters Tuesday evening said they heard about the event on talk radio.

Passers-by cheered or jeered. Curious tourists stopped to ask: "Who's Harry Reid?"

Hundreds others lined access roads to Caesars hoping to catch a glimpse of Obama as he made his way to the venue.

"I came down to support Obama. He's such a refreshing change," said Parris Lane, 50, who waved a small American flag and chanted Obama's name in response to the protesters. "We have someone really smart in charge, who makes everyone feel like part of things."

Inside, the line to get into the fundraiser snaked through the casino. Well-dressed concertgoers said they came to support Reid and could not pass up the opportunity to see Obama in person.

"We supported him all the way from Italy," said Giovanni Coinu, a constitutional law professor there who was thrilled that his Vegas vacation coincided with the fundraiser. "We had T-shirts made up, and we followed him all the way to the presidency."

Jeanne, a local, "over-50" business executive who declined to give her last name, said the $300 she forked out for her ticket would be well worth it.

"I wanted to hear what the president had to say about Las Vegas," she said. "Plus, we get entertainment on top of it."

Protesters outside criticized what the president had to say about Las Vegas not long ago, when Obama mentioned Vegas junkets as the type of corporate excess that federal dollars shouldn't be funding.

"Shame on President Obama, pointing fingers at Las Vegas, and here he is campaigning for Harry Reid," said protester Karina Ostenberg, 29.

"Reid needs to stand up for us," she added.

Sharron Angle, a Republican former assemblywoman from Reno who is a possible Reid challenger for 2010, agreed.

"He should at least have defended us," Angle said as she shook protesters' hands.

At the morning news conference, Angle had urged donations to the exploratory committee for her candidacy, saying the strength of the financial support would determine whether she decides to run. Angle declined to disclose how much she has raised so far.

"Money talks," she said. "With Harry Reid, it's going to take more than just good intentions. It's going to take a lot of money to take him out."

Wild Thing's comment.........

Ok so I add the Obama should too to the title. And he should GO! He has been the one to blame for the economy going down hill, for the devastating decline of tourism and business meetings cancelling their trips to Vegas and NO ONE ELSE IS TO BLAME!

Obama is the worst president our country has ever had!!!!

Renovating Private Parking Garages for U.S. House

Parking garage outside Longworth House Office Building. (CNSNews.com photo/Penny Starr)

Renovating Private Parking Garages for U.S. House Will Cost Taxpayers $156,322 Per Congressman

CNSNews.com

As it is considering legislation that would cap carbon emssions and significanly increase energy prices of U.S. consumers in the name of controlling global warming, the U.S. House of Representatives is also considering spending $68 million to renovate two parking garages that are used exclusively by members of Congress and their staff.

Given that there are only 435 members of the House, the renovation of these exclusive garages would cost $156,322 per congressmen.

The garages are just south of the House office buildings that form part of the complex surrounding the U.S. Capitol. They are also adjacent to a station of the Washington Metro subway system that members of Congress and their staff could use to get to work if they did not want to drive a car and emit carbon into the atmosphere.

Terrell Dorn, the director of physical infrastructure issues for the Government Accountability Office (GAO), on May 6, testified before the House Committee on House Administration about plans by the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) to renovate the East and West garages, which serve several House buildings.

Approximately $38 million of the request is attached to a project to overhaul the Cannon House Office Building at an overall cost of $753 million.

“Renovations of the Cannon Building and East and West Garages are needed to maintain the integrity and safety of these facilities and reduce the likelihood of unplanned outages and associated cost,” Dorn’s written testimony stated.

Dorn told CNSNews.com that the funding request is still being considered by the House Appropriations Committee and has yet to be approved by House Leadership.

According to the Architect of the Capitol, problems with the structures will require action to be taken “within the next 2 to 4 years.”

Wild Thing's comment..........

What part of “knock this crap off” do these congressmen don’t understand?

Deduct the parking garage from the overpaid Congress’ salaries.

Say NO to KOH Nomination!!!

Obama nominee sees no "reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States"

H/T Atlas Shrugs Blog

JUDGES should interpret the Constitution according to other nations' legal "norms." Sharia law could apply to disputes in US courts. The United States constitutes an "axis of disobedience" along with North Korea and Saddam-era Iraq.

Those are the views of the man on track to become one of the US government's top lawyers: Harold Koh.

President Obama has nominated Koh -- until last week the dean of Yale Law School -- to be the State Department's legal adviser. In that job, Koh would forge a wide range of international agreements on issues from trade to arms control, and help represent our country in such places as the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.

It's a job where you want a strong defender of America's sovereignty. But that's not Koh. He's a fan of "transnational legal process," arguing that the distinctions between US and international law should vanish.

(snipet)

The primacy of international legal "norms" applies even to treaties we reject. For example, Koh believes that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child -- a problematic document that we haven't ratified -- should dictate the age at which individual US states can execute criminals. Got that? On issues ranging from affirmative action to the interrogation of terrorists, what the rest of the world says, goes.

Including, apparently, the world of radical imams. A New York lawyer, Steven Stein, says that, in addressing the Yale Club of Greenwich in 2007, Koh claimed that "in an appropriate case, he didn't see any reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States."

His nomination is out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He will go before the Senate in June. You must contact your Senators. GO HERE.

There is a wealth of documentation and evidence here.

Here are my past posts here at Theodore's World about this horrible man:

Critics Decry Obama Nominee for State Dept. Legal Adviser Harold Koh

B.Hussein Obama's Most Perilous Legal Pick Harold Koh

If you go HERE there are serveal letters and articles about NO on KOH

Here is just one of them...................

Oliver North writes in the Fox News Forum on May 15, 2009:

It is said that there are two kinds of lawyers: Those who know the law and those who know the judge. And then there is Harold Koh, the man who is likely to be the next legal adviser to the State Department.

Koh most recently served as dean of the Yale Law School and before that as assistant secretary of state for Democracy, Labor and Human Rights in the Clinton administration. He is a prolific author and a legal activist of the left. Earlier this week, his nomination to be Foggy Bottom’s barrister was voted out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, 12-5; his pending appointment has received scant attention from the media or the Senators who will decide his fate.

KOH's opinion of the Second Amendment. “What kind of global gun control regime could we and should we try to build?” Koh asked in an essay entitled A World Drowning in Guns. He urged “a global regulatory” scheme prohibiting the ownership of firearms could be achieved through a “process whereby rules negotiated among governments at a horizontal, intergovernmental level and interpreted through the interaction of transnational actors in these law-declaring fora are brought down vertically into the domestic law of each participating country — ‘brought home’ if you will — and internalized into the domestic statutes, executive practice, and judicial systems of those participating nations.”

In short, this means that U.S. law — constitutional or otherwise — must be amended or revised to comport with “international standards.” Presumably this same concept would apply not only to our Second Amendment, but to U.S. federal and state laws pertaining to abortion, same-sex marriage, pornography, drug use, private property rights or presumably, child molesting. In the Koh legal universe, these issues should be debated in the United Nations’ numerous institutions and commissions. Then, non-governmental organizations from around the globe will opine, a U.N. body will issue a report and the U.S. Congress and state legislatures will be given a deadline within which to pass conforming legislation. The will of the American people will no longer matter if it is contrary to that of the “world community.”

The Koh perspective on national security is equally alarming. In October, 2002 after Congress had already authorized the use of force against Iraq, he wrote in the Hartford Courant: “I believe… that it would be a mistake for our country to attack Iraq without explicit United Nations authorization,” because, “such an attack would violate international law.” Since the U.S. did not seek or obtain U.N. “permission” before liberating Iraq, Koh included the United States, Iraq and North Korea in what he described as an “Axis of Disobedience.”

In another time, this kind of record would disqualify any aspirant for an office requiring confirmation by the U.S. Senate. But these are indeed different times.

Wild Thing's comment.......

This man cannot get this nomination!!!!

Koh is scary, America hating idiot. He supports Muslims rights to be judged by Sharia Law as well. He also wants to hurt the arms manufacturers as much as he can.

Soros, B.Hussein Obama and KOH all thinking America is the bad guy, all hating our country and the rest of Obama's administration as well.

Gaffe Machine Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker

Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker

FOX news

The vice president, well-known for his verbal gaffes, confirms at a dinner the existence and location of a secret hidden bunker that Cheney is believed to have used after the 9/11 attacks.

Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.

According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinnermates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.

The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.

Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine's Washington contributing editor, said Biden revealed the location while filling in for President Obama at the dinner, who, along with Grover Cleveland, is the only president to skip the gathering.

According to the report, Biden "said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment."

Clift continued: "The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn't be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall."

In December 2002, neighbors complained of loud construction work being done at the Naval Observatory, which has been used as a residence by vice presidents since 1974.

The upset neighbors were sent a letter by the observatory's superintendent, calling the work "sensitive in nature" and "classified" and that it was urgent it be completed "on a highly accelerated schedule."

Residents said they believed workers were digging deep into the ground, which would support Biden's report of a secret bunker, but officials never confirmed the purpose of the work performed.

The revelation is the latest from Biden, who has a long history of political blunders.

Most recently, he said in a televised interview that if a family member asked him about traveling he'd advise staying away from public transportation or confined spaces to avoid swine flu -- a remark described as "borderline fearmongering" by an airline spokesman.

Wild Thing's comment.........

My gosh, I can't get over that these morons are running the country. What in the name of everything that is holy, were people thinnking when they voted these nitwits into office. And it doesn’t just stop with the President and the Vice President, it allllll the way down through the chain of command, or shall we say, the chain of ascension.

So he’s given away the location of his own secret hidey-hole, ay. What a doofus. He just made the game of hide-and-seek much easier, if the day ever comes that he has to make like Saddam Hussein and scuttle down his Spider Hole. Finding him will be much more efficient.

Its not the real, secret bunker. IT’s just the one they told him about. heh heh

Secret service agent on the phone “Hey chief, the VP asked where the secret bunker is. No sir! I’m not that foolish. I just told him it was in his basement and he went away.”

There used to be a day when the Russians would have to get a female spy to sleep with and drug a target in order to get him to divulge info.

With Biden, all they have to do is to have a television camamra & pretend to admire him , hang on every word he says and they could get the codes to our nuke missle launchers.

Che-Guevarrios Obama's FDA Battles CHEERIOS

FDA Blasts General Mills Over Cheerios Claim

Cereal Makers Scolded Because Claim Of Lowering Cholesterol 10 Percent In Month Makes It A "Drug"

Company Fires Back: This Is About Language, Not Science

CBS

The Food and Drug Administration scolded the makers of Cheerios about the way they promote the cereal's health benefits. The FDA sent a letter of warning to General Mills accusing them of making unauthorized health claims.

Current boxes of Cheerios are touting what the company calls exciting news -- the cereal's ability to help lower cholesterol 10 percent in one month.

According to a letter from the FDA General Mills' advertising violates the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The agency said claims that Cheerios ingredients can lower cholesterol within a certain amount of time, all while providing cancer-fighting and heart-healthy benefits, essentially makes Cheerios "a drug" by their definition. And no drug in this country can be legally marketed without an approved new drug application.

As a certified dietetic nutritionist, Keri Glassman often recommends foods high in soluble fiber for patients looking to lower their cholesterol.

"Because of the oats, because of the soluble fiber in Cheerios, it may help you reduce cholesterol and I think the FDA is still acknowledging that ... I just think they are saying but you can't really say that because you are a food product, not a drug," Glassman said.

"It doesn't change what's in the box," added Michael Zorek of the Upper West Side. "It's healthy no matter what they say."

The FDA gave General Mills 15 days to explain how it will correct the statements on Cheerios boxes.

In a statement issued Tuesday, General Mills said this dispute is over language, not science. The company pointed out that the FDA'a complaint doesn't actually question whether Cheerios can help lower cholesterol levels -- it only talks about how the health benefits are advertised.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Oh good grief!! While they’re at it go after Quaker Oats for their cholesterol lowering claims on oatmeal.

Go get ‘em Obama! Take on those evil rolled oats! They’re destroying America! Cheerios must be stopped!

Next, it’ll be Shredded wheat and Quaker Oats.

Next comes Maypo and Wheaties.

You have been warned, America. No more breakfast cereal for you!

Cheerios is a drug? I’m an addict? LOL, seriously, I have just about met my limit with this BS.

Since their stock is up, I’m assuming that they didn’t donate heavily to Obama. I mean how obvious is that! Cheerios have been around forever and it is only NOW that they are making something out of how they advertise. So they are they are aiming for the big food corporations now????

The FACT is that Oats do lower cholesterol levels. Not if a person has some a few times a year. But if they are consistent with it then it works.

Nancy Pelosi Works To Obstruct Justice

EDITORIAL: Pelosi confronts justice

The Washington Times

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is working to buffer lawmakers from federal investigators. This is a bad idea. Special legal protections for politicians encourage unethical conduct.

Irvin B. Nathan, general counsel of the House of Representatives, sent a letter to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Monday about establishing a protocol on how to handle "hopefully rare searches and electronic surveillance involving members of Congress." Mr. Nathan previously failed to negotiate such an agreement with the George W. Bush administration when Republicans controlled the House. His return to this effort isn't surprising given the number of congressional Democrats facing accusations of ethical misconduct.

Democrats facing scrutiny include the chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, for his close ties to the defense lobby firm PMA Group, which is under federal investigation; House Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel of New York about a number of tax issues; Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. of Illinois over his reported effort to persuade ousted Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich to appoint him to fill President Obama's former Senate seat; and Rep. Jane Harman of California, who reportedly was taped in 2005 by the National Security Agency purportedly agreeing to help seek leniency for two accused Israeli spies in exchange for help in lobbying her appointment to chair the House Intelligence Committee.

Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, on Thursday invoked the separation of powers as justification for the move. Mrs. Pelosi, who has acknowledged being aware previously of Mrs. Harman's controversial dialogue, claims the stance is a matter of principle. "Whether it's invading an office or wiretapping a conversation, it's important for us to have the separation of powers and the respect for individual liberties, again, while not harboring information that would be useful under the speech [or] debate clause," she said.

Biden to US: Hunker in the Bunker!

Joe Biden said Thursday he advised his family to stay off airplanes and subways because of the new swine flu, a remark that forced the vice president's office to backtrack and prompted one airline official to complain about "fear-mongering."

From Reuters:

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday he would tell his family to stay off planes or subways to avoid swine flu, prompting his office to go into damage control and the travel industry to complain.

Asked on NBC's "Today" show what he would tell members of his family if they asked him whether they should get on a commercial airliner to Mexico in the next week, Biden said:

"I would tell members of my family -- and I have -- I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now."

He said the problem is that "when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft."

"I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation, suggesting they ride the subway. So from my perspective, what it relates to is mitigation," he said.

Arlen Specter Comes Out of the Closet ~ GOOD! Bye Bye!

"I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans," Specter said in a statement.

With Sen. Arlen Specter switching to the Democratic Party , once Sen. Franken gets seated, the party will have their 60 senators needed to stop a Republican filibuster.

President Barack Obama called Specter almost immediately after he was informed of the decision to say the Democratic Party was "thrilled to have you," according to a White House official.

Specter says Obama promised to campaign for him

Breitbart

Veteran Sen. Arlen Specter says President Barack Obama has promised to campaign for him in next year's Democratic primary in Pennsylvania.

Specter told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday that he spoke to the president about his party switch.

Separately, the White House said no promises were made to Specter to get him to switch parties and become a Democrat. Asked about Specter, press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters that no promises were made to the veteran senator as far as he knows.

Wild Thing's comment........

“I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans,”

LMAO He’s just NOW admitting that??? We see Specter for what he really is; A RINO TRAITOR!!!!!! He belongs with the socialists; he’ll feel right at home!

I’m thinking that by 2010, the chickens of Obama’s many wrongheaded policies will be coming home to roost, and his support will be an albatross around Specter’s neck.

No More Arlen Spectors!

Not quite as good as "never again!" or "Remember the Maine" but it has potential. hahaha

He is no longer a RINO for which I am grateful. With his brand of Republican politics, we didn’t have the votes to stop anything anyway. Better he became a Dem then keep pretending he was one of us. I can deal with a Democrat that acts like a Democrat. I can’t deal with a Republican who acts like a Democrat and then takes Republican money to get reelected. Good riddance.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-IL, "Tea parties 'despicable"

http://prolifeaction.org/

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) blasted "tea party" protests yesterday, labeling the activities "despicable" and shameful."

"The �tea parties� being held today by groups of right-wing activists, and fueled by FOX News Channel, are an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95 percent of Americans and creates 3.5 million jobs," Schakowsky said in a statement.

"It�s despicable that right-wing Republicans would attempt to cheapen a significant, honorable moment of American history with a shameful political stunt," she added. "Not a single American household or business will be taxed at a higher rate this year. Made to look like a grassroots uprising, this is an Obama bashing party promoted by corporate interests, as well as Republican lobbyists and politicians.�

This is the strongest language to date opposing the protesters, which, according to some estimates, topped 250,000 across the country.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Congressmen, including Schakowsky, who support unconstitutional spending increases, are despicable. What’s “despicable” and “shameful” is that our government is out-of-control, spending like there’s no tomorrow and completely disregarding the American people.

LOL Do they not realize that they’re calling average Americans despicable? Their own constituents.

No Schakowsky, what is despicable and shameful are these lies:

* “This Tea Party initiative is funded by the high end — we call it astroturf, it’s not really a grassroots movement.” … Pelosi

* “the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95 percent of Americans” … Schakowsky

* ABC reports Obama is ‘Unaware of Tea Parties’

These tea parties really have the libs knickers in a bunch!

Democrat Chuck Schumer: 'Traditional Values'...'All That Is Over."

Schumer: 'The Hard Right, Which Still Believes' in 'Traditional Values'...'All That Is Over.'

Townhall

"I think President Obama has a pretty smart strategy. He is going to talk bipartisanship to the American people. But realizes until the Republican grassroots pushes their people over, if that ever happens, we are not going get change in the House or Senate."

So let me get this straight. Obama will "talk bipartisanship" but "change" won't happen until Republicans agree with Democrats. That's bipartisanship?

Exit Question: Does Obama's "strategy" of talk apply to world leaders who disagree with him?

Wild Thing's comment.......

I don't care who said this above, the fact that it is said by an elected official in our country makes me sick and angry. The LEFT really does want to destroy what our country has been all these years. I never in my life knew their hate was so strong, not only for Bush, but also for the citizens of our country.

'Traditional Values'...'All That Is Over."

OK so Democrats that are lurking at this blog, think about this! YOUR Schumer has just said this about traditional values and since you vote for these human being rejects then one has to think that YOU agree with him and with Obama as well. Do you see how bad this makes you look or do you just not care, or worse yet do you agree with him.

The democrat party of Ted the drunk and murderer Kennedy, Barney Frank and Pelosi, Michael Moore, Sean Penn Castor hugger, party of commies, socialist, and misfits all.

Chuck Schumer. When pond scum just isn’t vile enough.

The only silver lining to this is that America is about to discover why traditional values have held up throughout the ages. It's because they work, and are compatible with a free society.

Sen. McCaskill Meets A Heated Audience

Sen. Claire McCaskill addresses an audience at Missouri Southern State University in Joplin on April 7. (Photo by Vice Rosati)

Joplin Independent ...very long article so I am just putting some snipets

A frenetic hum in the auditorium of Missouri Southern's Criminal Justice Center ebbed and flowed as people assembled for what had been advertised by McCaskill as a "Kitchen Table Talk."

The audience clapped when McCaskill took the podium but as soon as she mentioned "the economy," she could feel a tension in the room. She described those shouting to be heard as a "bunch of unhappy, angry, frustrated" people. "Be Missouri polite; hear what's on people's minds," she suggested.

McCaskill was given a "roaster pan" from which randomly to draw out questions audience members had written on slips of paper just prior to the meeting. She didn't miss the irony in that...

John Putnam of Carthage, who said he was a fee agent for the Joplin license office, wanted to know why people had to show their birth certificates and not Obama.

The issue of Pres. Barack Obama's citizenship rocked the Internet blog world, especially after a number of self-proclaimed experts pronounced the "certification of live birth" produced by the Obama campaign in June 2008 a forgery.

McCaskill assured everyone that Obama was a citizen of the US. [He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961.] After mentioning that McCain was born in Panama [that didn't seem to be as much an issue], McCaskill told the audience that she didn't know where this birth certificate controversy came from.

~snipet~

McCaskill said she hoped the audience understood how she was being accountable. She called the audience, "patriots for being here."

However, as an aside, just before leaving McCaskill admitted, "I had never had people yelling at me before." She added, "I'm not used to people being that rude."

Wild Thing's comment.........

Well, that settles it. He’s a citizen and that’s all that is required after the votes are counted. Thanks, Claire. LOL

YO Claire, do you have an answer to Barack’s phony Selective Service registration?

We may never get an answer, but it won’t go away.

"You guys find something else to talk about,"

Typical Leftie response. When you don't like the question; change the subject. McCaskill was certainly most rude and condescending with that “You guys find something else to talk about” snide and snarky answer, that’s for sure.

" just before leaving McCaskill admitted, "I had never had people yelling at me before." She added, "I'm not used to people being that rude."

She calls someone else rude? hahahahahahhaha

Democrats Balk At Obama's Thug Tactics

Some Democrats balk at White House tactics

Baltimore Sun

A campaign to persuade Republicans to support President Barack Obama's budget is morphing into something broader, with the White House political machine and its allies focusing pressure on conservative Democrats and anyone else who might be tempted to vote no.

Targeted Democrats are balking at some of the tactics, a sign that campaign methods so effective in getting Obama elected might not be easily transferable to the policy realm.

Earlier this month, ads underwritten by Obama allies were directed more narrowly against Republican lawmakers opposed to the president's budget. As an example, a tax-exempt group called Americans United for Change ran an ad in recent weeks mocking Republicans, saying they had simply said "No" to the Obama agenda rather than roll out policy alternatives of their own.

This week, the group is running cable TV ads in what it describes as "12 targeted states represented by Republican and Democratic members of Congress." Obama's fellow Democrats caution that the ads can backfire in swing districts heavily populated with conservative voters. MoveOn.org, a progressive group, is running radio and Internet ads focused on 10 Democratic members of the House and Senate considered potential no votes. The ads invite people to call lawmakers and urge them to vote for Obama's budget.

MoveOn has been in contact with the White House, including Obama aides Valerie Jarrett and Michael Strautmanis, to "keep them abreast of what we're doing," said Justin Ruben, executive director of the group.

A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said mobilizing such outside groups is crucial to Obama's agenda. The other side has more money and we need more grass roots and more people." Democratic lawmakers contend the ads won't work.

On a parallel track, Obama's campaign group, now called Organizing for America, is using ZIP codes to reach supporters and ask them to call the person representing them in Congress. The organization also began airing a nationwide cable TV ad on Thursday in support of Obama's budget. Last weekend, Obama campaign supporters fanned out across the country to get people to sign petitions supporting the basic goals of Obama's budget.

Democratic lawmakers contend the ads won't work.

Sen. Evan Bayh, an Indiana Democrat, said that none of the TV advertising would influence his vote. And he questioned whether the ads are consistent with the president's promise of collaboration.

Wild Thing's comment........

THUGOCRACY from Obama.

Not so much fun for Democrats when they’re on the receiving end of leftist idiocy. The more ads they run the more they look like big brother ( which is what they are) and over time they will unnerve the voters with their bully tactics.

In our form of gov't, those elected are supposed to "represent" the will of their constituents. In the thugocracy gov't that the Obamanistas are trying to cram down our throats, all that matters is loyalty to the State.

We must all bow down to TOTUS, or else! GRRRRR, I NEVER will!

Something I want to make mention of. You can watch the whole video or go to 5:20 on the video to hear the Obamasheep speak. Now this is what I notice that is interesting, when Republicans run an AD they use a different way of speaking, phrases like, please call your Congressmen, Please write, Please let them know...... yadda yadda yadda.....BUT in the Obama video paid for and produced by Move On.org they don't do it like that at all. The Obama sheep in the video says......

You WILL call, you WILL flood your Congress person's office, you WILL pressure them ....... anyway check it out. For a thinking person I would be offended to the max if our side ran an ad that said....."You WILL" , but see this is how the sheep need to be talked to and treated, they don't think for themselves so they have to be told what to do. The only problem is, Obama treats all of us the same way that he treats his brain dead zombies.

Just one more thing on this. These things I pointed out are things our GOP should be noticing, and Michael Steele should be checking on and then when he is on talk shows or is interviewed point these things out. But he doesn't, and he won't nor will the other rino's in our Republican party that have a voice.
It took me approximately 20 minutes to find this video above after I read the article in the post. Went to Google then to Moveon.org., clicked on their YouTube videos and searched for the most recent one which I figured would be the one discussed in this article.
Could Michael Steele take 20 minutes of his life and do that ? PLEASE! No he can't and won't.
I am usually up very late into the morning hours so just as I am done with doing the posts and ready to go to sleep, it is very early morning such as yesterday Friday. Michael Steele was on mamby pamby Bill Bennett's radio show as a guest host. I am not a huge fan of Bennet only because he is way too weak and I like passion when it comes to our country. ( Rush, Laura, Mark Levin etc.)

Anyway, get this, he starts off the show saying.... " things are just crazy out there" , " so much has been happening"....."does anyone want to talk about anything? "

WTF????? I am sorry but he should have come on to guest host loaded for bear. He should have had folders packed full of shit that Obama has been doing against America to discuss and INFORM. Here is a man that has been handed the opportunity of a lifetime, to transform our party and bring it back to the conservative base, to the things our Founding Farthers wanted for America. And instead he oozes kumbaya from every pore.

IMO we are at war, I pray no gun will be fired, but by God we need to be taking no prisoners in how we fight back, words can slice and dice almost as good as a knife and words can be legally used if stated the right way with facts and with passion that will light up a room. Don't these idiots even wonder why Rush has done so well? Don't they even spend a thought process in trying to see how his passion , facts and humor to close the deal sometimes, are making him more popular then ever to listen to??!!

For those that have a voice, they need to be shaming the Republicans that voted for HR1388, giving names and letting people know what HR1388 is all about. Speak out against what Obama's agenda is not hoping someone won't bring up his name. Not this " everything is crazy out there" baloney.

Dingy Harry Reid: "Chief Justice Roberts Lied To Congress"

Sen. Reid: Chief Justice Roberts Lied To Congress

newsmax

Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid charged Friday that Chief Justice John Roberts tricked Congress by pretending to be a moderate while he was actually a stalwart conservative.

“Roberts didn’t tell us the truth. At least Alito told us who he was,” Reid said, referring to Samuel Alito, the second judge nominated by former President Bush to serve on the nation’s highest court.

“But we’re stuck with those two young men,” Reid continued. “And we’ll try to change by having some moderates in the federal courts system as time goes on.”

Reid added, “I think that will happen.”

Roberts was initially appointed to fill a vacancy on the court created by the retirement of Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

During Roberts’ confirmation, Chief Justice William Rehnquist passed away. President Bush then switched gears, nominating Roberts to replace Rehnquist as Chief Justice.

The Senate confirmed Roberts as Chief Justice in September 2005 by a 78 to 22 margin. The 22 Senators who opposed Roberts’ confirmation were all Democrats.

Reid presumably would not consider himself among those who were taken in - he voted against confirming both Roberts and Alito.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Reid is walking around blind without a cane. First, Reid is an idoit. Second, Reid is an idiot!

I wonder if this has anything to do with Obama's Obama birth certificate credentials. And Barney Frank, twice accused Justice Scalia of being a homophobe. I say open the Genie Bottle regarding Obama’s Birth Certificate.

Stop Obama From Being Honored at Notre Dame

The Destruction of Notre Dame

The American Spectator

by James M. Thunder

(The author is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame.)

On Friday, March 20, it was announced that President Obama had accepted an invitation by the president of the University of Notre Dame, Father John Jenkins, to give the commencement address on May 19 and receive an honorary degree. What fire could not do, Father Jenkins and his Academic Council may succeed in doing -- destroying a major Catholic institution.

In April 1879, the Main Building of the University was destroyed by fire. It was "the Main Building" because it housed classrooms, student sleeping quarters, kitchen, library, offices. The man who had left France and founded Notre Dame 37 years earlier, in 1842, Father Edward Sorin, was 65 and saw his life's work destroyed. Nonetheless, with fiery determination, he exclaimed: "If it were all gone, I should not give up. Tomorrow, we will build again, and build it bigger."

That summer, with help from Chicagoans who had suffered their own fire eight years before, 300 laborers, using mud from the campus lake, made bricks and rebuilt it. It was sufficiently complete for the return of students in September. It is this building that TV viewers see during Notre Dame home football games.

How did Father Jenkins calculate the benefits and the burdens of Notre Dame giving Obama a platform on campus at commencement?

As Notre Dame's own press release indicates, this would not be the first time that a sitting president would have visited Notre Dame. Eisenhower, Carter, Reagan, Bush the Elder, and Bush the Younger all spoke at commencement. And FDR, Kennedy and Ford each came to campus for honors. So, if Obama came and gave one of his first commencement addresses at Notre Dame, it would add to Notre Dame's secular glory only in an incremental sense.

Maybe Father Jenkins wants to honor Obama as the first African-American to become president. Undoubtedly this fact will be prominent in the biography the school will recite just prior to conferring the honorary doctorate upon him. (Frankly, there is no other achievement in his biography.) But this would be looking at the color of his skin over his policies.

Consider these policies and the burdens of Notre Dame honoring Obama. We must assume that Father Jenkins knows how hostile Obama, as state legislator, as U.S. senator, and now as president, has been to innocent human life and to the Catholic Church which tries to protect it. And Father Jenkins must have thought about the fact that inviting Obama would offend large numbers of students, the graduating seniors, alumni/ae, benefactors, and all pro-lifers through the country and the world. Moreover, it would constitute an attack on the pastoral authority of the local bishop, the American bishops as a group, and the Pope who have prohibited Catholic institutions from granting platforms to pro-abortion speakers -- even if their talks would not be about abortion and other human life issues.

So, any rational person occupying the position of president of Notre Dame who weighed the benefits and the burdens would not invite Obama. It would be self-destructive.

It was just last month that Speaker Pelosi who, no doubt, sees herself as the Supreme Head of the Catholic Church in America, visited Pope Benedict, but Pope Benedict was politically aware and refused to give her a photo opportunity. Father Jenkins thinks he is smarter than the Pope and will purposefully smile with Obama for the cameras.

Obama's visit to Notre Dame will be a one-way street -- in favor of Obama. Father Jenkins will not be taking Obama to Notre Dame's woodshed, to speak truth to power. No, Obama will be doing all the talking. Obama will co-opt a major Catholic institution.

Above the Main Building that TV viewers see during Notre Dame home football games is a Golden Dome. Atop it is a statue of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. (Notre Dame is "Our Lady" in French.) At the end of every game, the football players face the students and all of them sing the school's alma mater whose title and first line is "Notre Dame our Mother." Another line is "Glory's mantle cloaks thee; golden is thy fame." Father Jenkins will allow Obama to take Mary's mantle and wear it on his shoulders for all the world to see.

The day Father Jenkins' presidency is over (soon one hopes), the new president, the loyal faculty and alumni/ae, and friends throughout the world will repeat Father Sorin's words, "Tomorrow, we will build again, and build it [better]."

There is also this from some research online:

The Cardinal Newman Society site is getting 270+ signatures PER MINUTE on their petition. Their wonderful president, Patrick Reilly, has flown to Rome

Stop Obama at Notre Dame

The Mission of “Stop Obama at Notre Dame”
Our Mission: Stop President Obama from Speaking at Notre Dame on May 17.
Our Principle: Nothing is Sacred, except that which is Sacred.

And Joe Scheidler/Prolife Action League is working on this as well. Quote from his site:

"If Notre Dame does not disinvite Obama, Scheidler says, the Notre Dame campus can expect a massive pro-life protest on graduation day, including the use of large, graphic abortion pictures that show exactly what Barack Obama supports."

League Calls on Notre Dame To Disinvite President Obama

On March 20 it was announced that President Barack Obama is scheduled to give the commencement address to the Class of 2009 at the renowned Catholic University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. The Pro-Life Action League immediately issued a press release calling on Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins to withdraw the invitation.

"Over the first two months of his administration, Barack Obama has established himself as the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history," said League National Director Joe Scheidler, himself a graduate of Notre Dame, a Catholic university. "My alma mater should not be providing a platform for this president."

"Starting from his first week in office, President Obama has enacted a string of executive orders, appointments and policy decisions that contradict Catholic teaching on the sanctity of life—a teaching that Notre Dame is supposed to uphold," said Scheidler.

Among the pro-abortion actions Obama has taken in just two months in office, Scheidler lists:

* Overturning of the Mexico City Policy, which had prohibited U.S. funds from being used to promote or provide abortions overseas.
* Working to overturn conscience protections for healthcare workers, forcing them to cooperate in abortion or risk losing their jobs
* Appointing pro-abortion Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, who has close ties to late-term abortionist George Tiller, to head the Department of Health and Human Services
* Dedicating federal funds to harvest embryonic stem cells for research at the expense of the most defenseless members of the human family

"Father Jenkins cannot expect pro-life Catholics to stand back and allow the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history to make a mockery of Notre Dame's Catholic identity," Scheidler said.

Wild Thing's comment........

I don't understand this at all. Why are their exceptions made just because a person is a President or because a family has wealth, or because a person is a high profile person like Pelosi and others that have also taken a stand of PRO Abortion. Obama leads the way in wanting abortions and to the extreme with his putting into law that it is ok to kill a baby if it some way has a miracle and makes it alive from an abortion he want that baby killed ASAP. And Obama’s contempt for life is the fundamental issue here.

Please understand I am not a Catholic and this is not about bashing Catholics, it is about not understanding the weakness that shows up when it does not have to. Giving an honorary law degree to this man, is a symbol of approval

"You don’t “engage” with a person who is embroiled in massive, murderous moral wrong by inviting him onto a floodlit, nationally-televised public platform and giving him an honorary Law Degree."

There is a cost that comes with true leaders, not elected officials but true leaders in history, a cost that leadership, takes the high road and that is not always easy, but it is the very thing that separates the average from those that make a difference in the world. Those that leave their mark in history for the better. I tell our troops that too, they are not only living history they are making in a special way. Just as our Veterans have all done, being part of history that has made changes in the world or kept our world here in America from becoming the monster that communism brings and other things.

But also, how on earth can the President of Notre Dame justify an honorary law degree to someone who has never done anything whatever in the fields of law or politics to deserve it?
As President of the Harvard Law Review he broke a long tradition by writing NOTHING for the review he headed.

As instructor of constitutional law in Chicago he argued that the Constitution need to be rewritten, but he never wrote a single scholarly article.

As a lawyer, he forced banks in Chicago to make subprime loans, leading to our current economic crisis.

I hope they think hard about this decision, I truly hate to see people giving agreement to what Obama stands for.

Democrats Too Afraid To REALLY Investigate Criminal ACORN

ACORN Whistleblowers Produce Shocking Testimony on Capitol Hill

Late last week, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary, called for a hearing to investigate ACORN. You read that right. At a Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties subcommittee hearing entitled “Lessons Learned from the 2008 Election” last Thursday, witness testimony not only drew Conyers to the subcommittee hearing but events led to Conyers strongly urging that subcommittee chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) conduct a full hearing on ACORN, calling allegations made at the hearing “serious.”

The shocking testimony that began the chain of events came from Pennsylvania attorney Heather Heidelbaugh, who in October of last year represented “a candidate, voters and the Republican State Committee of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania” seeking a preliminary injunction against ACORN and the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The complaint alleged violations of the election code, fraud and misrepresentation, and violations of equal protection and due process.

Heidelbaugh brought with her to the hearing ACORN whistleblowers, including Anita MonCrief, a former Washington, D.C., ACORN employee who came forward to testify last October in the Pennsylvania case. MonCrief, a Democrat who voted for and still supports President Obama, made allegations including the exposure of Obama maxed-out donor lists illegally shared with ACORN, allegations of illegal intermingling of non-profit employees between ACORN and Project Vote, and the use of intimidation tactics and training methods to skirt regulations, among many other assertions.

Testimony also revealed ACORN’s unofficial “Muscle for the Money” program directed at fundraising from corporations. Allegations were made of payments from Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to ACORN's D.C office to harass The Carlyle Group and specifically David Rubenstein, a founder of the company. Even though ACORN D.C. had no interest in The Carlyle Group, they were allegedly paid by SEIU to go break up a banquet and protest at Rubenstein’s house.

It was called “Muscle for the Money” because they would go “intimidate people and protest.” Targets of the protests included Sherwin-Williams, H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, and Money Mart among others, testimony revealed. The apparent purpose was to get money from the targeted entities for ACORN.

Perhaps the most controversial accusation revealed by whistleblower testimony was the scheme by which ACORN and Project Vote are paid by foundations per voter registered and the submission of copies of actual voter registration cards to the foundations, which is a violation of federal law.

I spoke with whistleblower Anita MonCrief at the hearing.

“ACORN itself is sometimes paid by foundations per registration and, in some case,s they would send copies of the voter registration cards straight to the funder,” MonCrief said. “Workers are improperly trained. … They are trained to never ask, ‘Are you registered to vote?’ because if the person says ‘Yes,’ they have to move on. They ask, ‘Did you vote in the last election,’ and if the person says ‘No,’ they register them again. This is how they duplicate registrations and flood the offices.”

When these allegations began to surface in hearing testimony, Conyers suddenly appeared at the subcommittee hearing and asked to be recognized, saying that he was “… unaware that this was a hearing on ACORN.” Conyers probed those assembled, asking if any representatives of ACORN were present to defend the organization. Conyers called the accusations made against ACORN a “pretty serious matter.” When no one from ACORN came forth, he asked subcommittee chairman Nadler to hold a hearing on ACORN so the organization could defend itself, to which a shocked Nadler replied, “I’ll take it under advisement.”

Conyers pressed the matter, saying, “I think that it would be something that would be worth our time. We've never had one person representing ACORN before the committee. ... I think in all fairness we ought to really examine it.” An exasperated Nadler said he would hold a hearing when he had “credible allegations of misconduct.”

Nadler abruptly dismissed the panel shortly thereafter.

“I would encourage chairman Conyers in his call for a hearing and investigation into ACORN,” Heidelbaugh told HUMAN EVENTS in the hallway outside of the hearing. “The Judiciary Committee has oversight of the voting system in America, and ACORN is interfering in it in a large, large way. The federal government in some cases is providing the funding for that interference.”

I also spoke with Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), a member of the House Judiciary Committee as well as the Constitution subcommittee, who questioned Heidelbaugh during the hearing.

“We’re about to appropriate even more money, and we’ve already appropriated some money that may very well be directed to ACORN,” Gohmert said. “If we know that an organization is guilty of fraud, and we provide them the money and the wherewithal to continue the fraud, then we are accessories to fraud. The only difference between us and a criminal is that we have the ability to pass laws that say even though we’re criminals we’re doing our criminal work legally. It doesn’t make it moral, it doesn’t make it ethical, it just makes it legal to say we can be accessories to fraud by providing the money.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee, Conyers and Nadler aren’t doing anything other than say; See, we investgated ACORN and found nothing. How convenient now can go back to their naps.

Kennedy Receives Honory Knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II

Sen. Ted Kennedy Receives Honory Knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II

UPI

The Washington Post reported that the Massachusetts Democrat's honor was announced by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who on Wednesday addressed a joint session of Congress.

In his speech, Brown praised Kennedy's role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland after years of strife and his efforts to strengthen healthcare and educational opportunities in the United States and elsewhere.

"Northern Ireland today is at peace, more Americans have healthcare, children around the world are going to school," Gordon said. "And for all these things, we owe a great debt to the life, and courage, of Senator Edward Kennedy."

Shocked onlookers look over the bridge to the senator's wrecked car below

MPs' fury as U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy gets honorary knighthood for Northern Ireland role

Daily Mail.co.uk

Gordon Brown sparked fury today by awarding an honorary knighthood to U.S. senator Edward Kennedy, who has been accused in the past of being an IRA sympathiser.

Conservative MPs and Peers condemned as 'inappropriate' the decision to make a man closely linked to the Irish nationalist movement a 'Sir'.

Senior British politicians also expressed unease at honouring the Democrat who was embroiled in controversy when he was involved in an infamous car accident on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969 in which a young woman was killed.

Obama's Budget Plan Failing So Team Obama Uses Palin in Some Hate Mongering AD's

In an ad called “Crickets” that begins Sunday, Americans United for Change, a labor-funded ally of the White House, says: “President Obama has proposed a budget plan to turn the page on the failed economic policies of the past – creating jobs and changing the way things are done in Washington. The Republican response?”

Then the viewer sees Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner(R-Ohio) each saying, “No!”

“So what kind of budget have the Republicans proposed to get us out of the mess they created? Here are the details,” the ad continues. The viewer sees a blank screen and hears the sound of crickets.

And here is another one, they have been very busy making these stupid videos.

Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL Pandering ads like this do nothing but alert even the densest of kool-aid drinker of theirs that there is controversy over the Administration’s “plan.”

Democrats are so pathetic! I swear I really have tried to think positive about them over the years. LOL I just could not come up with one thing that I respect them for other then I love a good movie or TV show and good music. hahaha

OK so here is the AD Republican's should run.

When Democrats ran for election they said bills would be created with transparency and there would be no vote until a few days were allowed for comment.

Here is how the Democrats crafted the budget bill........show people going “I don’t know”

Here is how debate was handled by the Democrats in the Senate.....show Nancy Pelosi saying the bill had to pass intact without change and even playing Obama and his quote of how he had not read the bill he signed as well as anyone else!

This about that a President that signs a HUGE bill and could care less about reading it and knowing what is in it. Yes Obama you freak, it is obvious you could care less.

Democrats the Party of Tax Cheats

Unprecedented Level of Tax Evasion Among Obama Appointees

A list of Obama's potential high-level appointees who have withdrawn from consideration - mostly for failure to pay taxes - since Obama took office in January.

Intellectual Conservative

One of the most interesting phenomenons of the Obama administration so far is the difficulty he has had finding honest people to fill top-level positions. Every few days since he has been in office, another potential cabinet appointee is in the news for tax evasion or other financial corruption.

Let's rehash the list so far.

New Mexico Democratic Governor Bill Richardson, nominated for Commerce Department Secretary. He withdrew on January 4 after it emerged that he was the subject of a Grand Jury investigation for influence peddling, due to his awarding of a $1.5 million state contract to political contributors.

Former South Dakota Democratic Senator Tom Daschle, nominated for Health and Human Services Secretary. He withdrew on February 3, admitting that he had failed to pay more than $100,000 in taxes on a car and driver provided by a friend and on consulting fees after he left the Senate.

Nancy Killefer, former Assistant Secretary for Management and Chief Financial Officer of the Treasury Department during the Clinton administration, nominated for Deputy Director at the Office of Management and Budget and Chief Performance Officer. Obama said in announcing her nomination, "We can no longer afford to sustain the old ways when we know there are new and more efficient ways of getting the job done." Killefer withdrew on February 3 because of a lien against her home for failure to pay unemployment tax for household help. Ironic that she can afford household help - something most of us Americans can't - and then doesn't pay the taxes her party trumpets. Certainly not anyone you want in charge of managing the public's money.

Hilda Solis, nominated for Labor Secretary, was confirmed on February 11 even though her husband had liens against his business going back 16 years. He paid the full $6,400 owed a day before her confirmation hearing. Wouldn't that be nice if the average American could pretend to have nothing to do with their spouse's finances?

Only one with NO TAX problems.........New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg, Obama's second nomination for Commerce Department secretary. Apparently the only Republican nominated to a high-level position by Obama, he withdrew on February 11 because of philosophical differences with the Obama administration over its advocacy of a massive stimulus plan. Judd had once called for elimination of the Department of Commerce. Judd was one of very few Obama nominees who withdrew due to legitimate reasons.

Timothy Geithner, nominated and confirmed on February 24 for Treasury Secretary. Geithner failed to pay $34,000 in self-employment taxes while he worked at the International Monetary Fund from 2001 to 2004. Yet he was still confirmed because Democrats said his position was too important to be left unfilled any longer.

Kansas Democratic Governor Kathleen Sebelius was nominated on March 2 as Obama's second choice for Secretary of Health and Human Services. So far, no back tax problem has emerged, but she does have one of the most extreme partisan positions on abortion of any politician in the country; which may cause trouble with her confirmation.

Former Obama campaign worker Susan Tierney, the leading candidate for Deputy Secretary of Energy, dropped out on March 3 without citing a reason. Is she afraid to cite back taxes?

Jane Garvey, reportedly Obama's top choice for Deputy Secretary of Transportation, also dropped out on March 3, reportedly for financial reasons. Did those reasons include owing back taxes?

Former Washington Democratic Governor Gary Locke. Nominated on March 5, for Secretary of Commerce after Bill Richardson and Judd Gregg withdrew. So far he appears to be sailing through to confirmation, but Frontpage Mag points out he was involved in Chinagate with former Clinton Commerce employee John Huang. Huang wrote a $1,000 check to Locke and co-sponsored fundraising events that netted $30,000 in 1996 alone.

Annette Nazareth, who was to be nominated for Treasury Deputy Secretary, abruptly announced on March 5 she was stepping aside for "personal reasons."

Caroline Atkinson, nominated for Undersecretary of International Affairs, withdrew on March 5 as well. Did these two prospects withdraw because of failure to pay back taxes? "Personal reasons" sounds like someone wants to spend more time with their family, or something along those lines. If that was the case, why didn't the candidates indicate so? Because of the long list of nominees who withdrew for tax problems, their withdrawals are forever tainted with a cloud of suspicion.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Obama's first pick for Surgeon General, withdrew on March 5 without citing a reason. What were his secret reasons?

Former Dallas Democratic Mayor Ron Kirk, nominated for Trade Representative, failed to pay $10,000 in back taxes for speaking fees over three years. He faced Senate questioning on March 9 over it, but is expected to win confirmation. $2,600 of the back taxes was due to deducting $17,382 worth of basketball tickets; he was unable to provide proof of business purposes for those tickets. Most Americans can't afford $17,382 in baseball tickets, much less have a business to deduct the cost from. Kirk also took overly large deductions for a used TV he gave to charity, and inflated accounting and tax preparation fees. He has agreed to pay $9,975 in back taxes from 2005-2007.

snipet.....

What we are seeing is the results of a generation that has grown up without strict morals. Years of 1960's "progressive morality" has spawned a generation of Baby Boomers who have grown up without church and Judeao-Christian morals, not knowing the difference between right and wrong. And it has affected the Democratic Party the most, since they have rejected Biblical morality in favor of secular humanism with its acceptance of all viewpoints, no matter how flawed. This has left them with few political candidates to choose from who have maintained moral requisites. At some point, it will lead to the downfall of the Democratic Party - unless society's morals progressively change with them.

Wild Thing's comment........

Good clue to why Democrats love big government, hand out programs and taxing people. They do't pay taxes.

With all their yelling and screaming about their hate for the rich, their hate for how the rich have write off's etc. These democrats sure are phony's, they have no right to complain about anyone when they themselves have not paid.

Jason Mattera Confronts the Tax Cheat Charlie Rangel

VIDEO above Jason Mattera confronts the tax cheat Rangel and he has a snit fit.

Photo of Charlie Rangel at the podium of a March 19th, 2005 Workers World Party/Troops Out Now rally in Harlem, New York. The occasion marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. The photo comes from the ("We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ...") Workers World Party website.

Also appearing at this "peace" rally with the demonRat Charlie Rangel, now chairman of The House Ways and Means Committee, were Saddam Hussein lawyer, Ramsey Clark and convicted terrorist enabler/attorney, Lynne Stewart. Clark, with Workers World Party, started up that other 'peace' group, A.N.S.W.E.R. Clark also heads the International Action Center and was actually once Attorney General of the United States under democrat LBJ.

Wild Thing's comment........

Hey Charlie Rangel it IS our business you is our business you arrogant SOB communist, and he needs to go to jail! I think not paying taxes and scheming to get more out of you is a requirement to be a Demoncrat.

This kind of thing makes my blood boil. It really angers and disgusts me how these people get away with things we would be prosecuted for.

Charlie is a prime example of the imperial Congress that has developed in the US.

Chicago Politician Ricardo Munoz Shoves Voter and Tells Him ........

Ricardo Muñoz is alderman of the 22nd ward in Chicago. Muñoz was appointed to this position by Mayor Richard M. Daley in 1993.

Move over Charlie "mind your goddam business" Rangel, you have company!

A Chicago taxpayer went to his 22nd Ward alderman, Ricardo Munoz, to protest the Democrat’s support for tax-increment financing. The constituent wants to present Alderman Munoz with a petition.

Munoz physically shoves the voter and yells: “Get the f**k out of my office!”

Wild Thing's comment........

Don't you just love the underlying ruler/serf attitude from these politicians. To them it is how dare we the people grow a pair and defend ourselves and speak up to them, question them, tell them what we think.

Alderman Munoz, it is not YOUR office. It belongs to the citizens of Chicago who entrust it to you, ya putz.

Botox Nancy Pelosi Has Her Panties All Knotted Up

Pelosi on spending bill: Take it or leave it

http://www.democrats.org/page/s/submitslogan

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) confirmed that if any changes are made to the omnibus spending bill in the Senate, she thinks Congress should scrap the effort and pass a continuing resolution to cover spending for the rest of the year.

“That is the plan,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference Thursday. “If we started to open up that package, the changes would be endless.”

Pelosi said the $410 billion omnibus spending bill was negotiated on a bipartisan basis before it was introduced this year, so it shouldn’t be changed.

The Senate is set to vote Friday morning on cloture for the bill, which has been criticized by both Republicans and Democrats for the 9,000 earmarks it contains.

Wild Thing's comment..........

We don’t want it, and we don’t want YOU. Why don’t you take your ‘Let them eat cake’ attitude back to the sordid hills of San Fran and glory in the muck there.

These humongous spending bills have gotten the attention of the public, and the public is getting ticked. The conservatives need to keep beating this drum.

Evil Democrats Billboard to Rush ~ LOL

"I'm Jen O'Malley Dillon, the new Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee.
If you're anything like me, then you've had the urge to talk back to a right-wing talk radio host more than a few times. Now you can.

Rush Limbaugh has made waves lately about his desire to see President Obama fail. And he's unapologetic, even though Americans voted in November for the very kind of change the President is bringing to Washington. As even Limbaugh must know, if the President fails, America fails.

Incredibly, Republican leaders have yet to condemn Limbaugh for his destructive comments. In fact, Republicans like Congressman Eric Cantor, a leader in the House, have adopted the Limbaugh strategy, telling the Washington Post recently that their strategy on the President's jobs plan was "just saying no."

The only Republican leader to challenge Limbaugh -- the chairman of the Republican National Committee -- even called Rush to apologize just a few days later.

But we have no apologies for Rush, just a message. We need you to come up with a slogan, in ten words or less, that we'll put on a billboard where he can't miss it -- in his hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Can you help us come up with a message for Rush that we'll place on a billboard right in his hometown?

We'll go through all the slogans we get, and the winner will have his or her message appear on the billboard -- and receive a free T-shirt featuring the winning slogan.

If Republican leaders aren't willing to tell Rush, then we will. Americans want President Obama to succeed. Our country's future depends on it. Rooting for the President's failure is rooting for our country to fail.

To get America back on a path to prosperity, we'll need to leave behind the failed partisan attack politics of the past. Americans voted for a new direction in November. Choosing Rush Limbaugh to be the voice of their party -- as Republican leaders have done -- is not the answer.

Send in your suggestion of ten words or less for a billboard and we'll choose the best one to put in Rush's own "backyard":

TV Ad from American's United for Change Their Group Wants a Socialist America

Below is the new American's United for Change and AFSCME TV ad that is hitting airwaves today. The ad is interesting for two reasons. First, rather predictably, the ad seeks to paint the GOP as the party of 'no' for opposing President Obama's stimulus package.

Second, and perhaps most interesting, is that it goes after Rush Limbaugh at the very end.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This is a cowardly ad that leaves out any sense of honesty.

Rush is awesome and he will wear this as a badge of honor. And IF Rush was the leader of the Republican party then Obama would not have had a chance to win.

* find the target
* fix it
* then destroy it
(alinsky)

It amazes me how any American with more that a few brain cells can see this and NOT KNOW that it is a deliberate attempt at obfuscation and deception.

Any reasonable adult wants 0bama to fail. Because success means an America that is a Socialist, Marxist hell hole.

Many people do not realizes how much he’s targeted, both in his personal and professional life, and how much courage it takes to stand up to these guys. Congress has sent threats to his employer, they’ve targeted him with a three year investigation over his oxycontin addiction, he’s had boycotts of his sponsors, and he just mentioned he gets audited by NY State over his taxes every year.

He is a patriot in the true American Revolutionary sense, a point wholly lost on timid elected Republicans who seek to be loved.

Obama's ACORN Group Breaks Into Home

Some community activists could face criminal charges after breaking into a home in Southeast Baltimore. Police were at the home Thursday night looking for fingerprints and other evidence.

The activists who staged the break-in belong to the Association of Community Organizations For Reform Now or ACORN. After snapping a lock with bolt cutters, ACORN member Louis Beverly told supporters "this is our house now."

ACORN Brownshirts break into foreclosed homes in acts of 'civil disobedience'

American Thinker

Rick Moran

There is little doubt that ACORN is feeling its oats now that one of their own is in the White House. The payback by Obama is just beginning and the only question in my mind is when we start calling these thugs "Obama's Brown Shirts?"

A community organization breaks into a foreclosed home in what they are calling an act of civil disobedience.

The group wants to train homeowners facing eviction on peaceful ways they can remain in their homes.

Derek Valcourt reports their actions are not without controversy.

Near Patterson Park, the padlock on the door and the sign in the window tells part of Donna Hanks foreclosure story.

“The mortgage went up $300 in one month,” said Hanks, former homeowner.

She says the bank refused to modify her loan and foreclosed, kicking her out of the house in September.

The community group ACORN calls Hanks a victim of predatory lending.

"This is our house now," said Louis Beverly, ACORN.

And on Thursday afternoon, they literally broke the foreclosure padlock right off the front door and then broke into the house, letting Hanks back in for the first time in months.

ACORN is seeking to destroy property rights as any good little marxist organization would. Once property rights are history, no one will be safe and people will scurry to the protection that Big Brother offers in order to save what little they have. Property rights guarantee our independence. And that just won't do for ACORN and their allies.

Wild Thing's comment........

ACORN - when you absolutely positively need someone with less ability and intellect than you’ve got.

And because of Obama's stimulus bill hand out another problem now is that ACORN will have lots of money for lawyers.

“This is our house now,” said Louis Beverly, ACORN

Didn’t they say the same thing about the White House after Obama was elected? (eye roll)

These people need to be stopped! Breaking into homes is not ‘civil disobedience’. It reminds me of the reported tactics of ACORN busting into bank executive meetings to intimidate them into giving them loans in the first place.

They are going to be doing more of this.

ACORN Trains Citizens To Protest Home Foreclosures

BALTIMORE (WJZ)

A community organization breaks into a foreclosed home in what they are calling an act of civil disobedience. The group says it was staging similar demonstrations in six other cities nationwide while urging a moratorium on foreclosures. They want that until President Obama's stimulus plan begins on March 4. The plan is designed to help threatened homeowners.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me. The group wants to train homeowners facing eviction on peaceful ways they can remain in their homes.

Attorney Gen.Eric Holder US Remains A “a nation of cowards”

Holder: 'Nation of cowards' on race

Politico

Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday that despite advances, the United States remains “a nation of cowards” on issues involving race.

“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, a nation of cowards,” Holder said in remarks to his staff in honor of Black History Month. His comments appear on a transcript provided by the Justice Department.

“Even as we fight a war against terrorism; deal with the reality of electing an African-American, for the first time, as the president of the United States; and deal with other significant issues of the day, the need to confront our racial past and to understand our racial present, and to understand the history of African people in this country — that all endures,” the attorney general added.

“Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial.”

Holder said that the Department of Justice, in particular, bears a singular responsibility.

“And we, in this room, bear a special responsibility,” he said. “Through its work and through its example, the Department of Justice — this Department of Justice — as long as I'm here, must and will leave the nation to the new birth of freedom so long ago promised by our greatest president. This is our duty, this is our solemn responsibility.”

Holder said that the country is now a “fundamentally different” place than it used to be, but that the nation “still had not come to grips with its racial past, nor has it been willing to contemplate, in a truly meaningful way, the diverse future it is fated to have.”

“To our detriment, this is typical of the way in which this nation deals with issues of race,” he said.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama - crisis, crisis, crisis, crisis, doom, gloom, catastrophe

Holder- coward, race cowards, cowards.

This sort of language is completely out of line for an Attorney General. This is the type of trash talking you'd expect from Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. Utterly inappropriate and a disgrace to the office of the Attorney General.

Democrats sure love to insult our country and we the people. He mentions electing a black president as if it means almost nothing or is even a problem. And Michael Stelle who is a good guy head of the RNC. Oh yeah, and he’s a black attorney general. Real racial problem we have.

Hey Eric, you hypocritical coward, you wanna talk about unresolved racial issues?

Why don't you start addressing THIS one?

"The National Black Republican Association has issued a petition to Barack Hussein Obama, the leader of the Democratic Party, requesting that Obama issue a formal proclamation of apology for the Democratic Party's 150-year history of racism.

We recognize that this is likely too much to ask of the oh so "racially sensitive" Democrats who want us to ignore their racist past and failed socialism that have caused so much harm to black Americans. So we will not hold our breath waiting for their response."

Tax Troubles for Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's

Emanuel: "Oversaw" Freddie Mac's antics, then got donation from Freddie's PAC.

Rahm's 'rent' is just the tip of the ethics iceberg

New York Post

by Dick Morris

News broke last week that Rahm Emanuel, now White House chief of staff, lived rent- free for years in the home of Rep. Rosa De Lauro (D-Conn.) - and failed to disclose the gift, as congressional ethics rules mandate. But this is only the tip of Emanuel's previously undisclosed ethics problems.

One issue is the work Emanuel tossed the way of De Lauro's husband. But the bigger one goes back to Emanuel's days on the board of now-bankrupt mortgage giant Freddie Mac.

Emanuel is a multimillionaire, but lived for the last five years for free in the tony Capitol Hill townhouse owned by De Lauro and her husband, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg.

During that time, he also served as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee - which gave Greenberg huge polling contracts. It paid Greenberg's firm $239,996 in 2006 and $317,775 in 2008. (Emanuel's own campaign committee has also paid Greenberg more than $50,000 since 2004.

Emanuel never declared the substantial gift of free rent on any of his financial-disclosure forms. He and De Lauro claim that it was just allowable "hospitality" between colleagues. Hospitality - for five years?

Some experts suggest that it was also taxable income: Over five years, the free rent could easily add up to more than $100,000.

Nor is this all that seems to have been missed in the Obama team's vetting process. Consider: Emanuel served on the Freddie Mac board of directors during the time that the government-backed lender lied about its earnings, a leading contributor to the current economic meltdown.

Meanwhile, Emanuel was paid more than $260,000 for his Freddie "service." Plus, after he resigned from the board to run for Congress in 2002, the troubled agency's PAC gave his campaign $25,000 - its largest single gift to a House candidate.

The president's chief of staff isn't subject to Senate confirmation, but his ethics still matter. Is this the change that we can depend on?

And there is this.......

http://henriettahughes.com/

There could be tax troubles on the horizon for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who reportedly has lived rent-free in Washington for five years but hasn't paid taxes on the imputed income from that, according to reports.

According to the New York Post, the free rent in a home owned by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and not disclosing that "gift" apparently isn't all that's being questioned about Emanuel's arrangements, either.

Another issue is "the work Emanuel tossed the way of DeLauro's husband, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg."

The report said Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was confirmed despite not having paid on times the taxes he was supposed to have paid, Health and Human Services nominee Tom Daschle withdrew his name over unpaid taxes and proposed Chief Performance officer Nancy Killifer also withdrew over similar problems.

Also, while the issue didn't involve taxes, Obama's first pick for secretary of commerce – New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson – proved an embarrassment because of his involvement in an alleged pay-to-play scheme.

And according to reports in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Democrat comedian Al Franken, whose challenge to incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman still is awaiting a result in the courts, also had tax issues during his campaign.

Wild Thing's comment........

This whole corrupt admnistration is filled with law breakers and most don’t like to pay taxes. And these hypocrites lead by Obama want to tell all of us that Iwe have to sacrifice to better the economy. sheesh

Hussein Hears a Hughes

Watch towards the end of this clip where a middle aged white female ( mouths theh words) proclaims "I love you Barack."

UPDATE: Henrietta Hughes says she's not milking the system

winko

A woman making national headlines after a tearful moment with President Obama has a new home.

Thursday morning, Chene Thompson handed Henrietta Hughes the keys to her home in Hendry County. Thompson is the wife of State Representative Nick Thompson (R-District 73). Hughes and her son will live at the home rent free.

However, a local organization is coming forward saying Hughes isn't being honest about how much help she's had in the past.

The director of We Care Outreach Ministry, Tanya Johnson, says just last month she offered Henrietta Hughes permanent housing and a place to stay free for three months, but Hughes refused.

"We would have allowed her to stay for the first 90 days, no income. You know free," said Tanya Johnson.

Henrietta Hughes has a web site,registered by a Judah Fontz, from Cape Coral Florida. Now I’m wondering why the MSM isn’t going after her ????

"After the president left, reporters crowded around Hughes, doing one interview after another. People in the crowd handed her business cards and cash."

1.) Henrietta Hughes has a long history of financial problems. Her story even made the news back in 2004 before the current recession. She has been playing the system for years.
2.) Unlike "Joe the Plumber" the mainstream media was not going to look into Henrietta's past.

Henrietta -- "How can you take care of my problems?"
Joe the Plumber -- "Can't the government leave me alone?"

It appears as though Henrietta Hughes is not registered to vote in either Florida or New York - not sure about son Corey. Their names appear to come up listed as "owner(s)" on three distinct public housing units going back as far as 1983 - one in Georgia and two in Florida. As to reports she was living with "friends" in New York, that appears to be the home of her parents.

I have no idea why Henrietta Hughes may be homeless today. Unfortunate events happen to us all. My only point is, her troubles and need for public assistance seem to precede the current economic crisis and likely go back years.

Wild Thing's comment........

Aren't the lefties wonderful? Give me Give me Give me more and more.

The lady dressed in white in the video that mouths " I love you Obama" looks familiar to me. I keep thinking I have seen her in the audiences before and not the Florida campaigns for Obama. We just don't know how many of these people are plants and how many are there on their own. Being the Democrat party I just don't trust anything about them.

Biden Tells Munich Conference U.S.Ready to Talk to Iran

Biden's Munich Speech: Obama Administration Foreign Policy Projects Weakness and Confusion

The Heritage Foundation ...for complete article ( snipets below)

In a major speech at the February 7 Munich Security Conference

Vice President Joe Biden outlined the Obama Administration's foreign policy vision for the first time on the world stage. It was an address designed to reach out to leaders in both Europe and the Middle East, "on behalf of a new Administration determined to set a new tone in Washington, and in America's relations around the world."

Biden's speech should be viewed as one of the weakest projections of U.S. leadership on foreign soil in recent memory. The message was confused, apologetic, over-conciliatory, and remarkably lacking in substance and detail. It was the kind of speech, heavy in platitudes and diplo-speak, that could easily have been given by a continental European bureaucrat nestled in Brussels, Paris, or Berlin. It was not the voice of the most powerful nation on earth.

The Vice President went to great lengths in his speech to avoid offending America's enemies, such as Iran and Hamas, or her strategic competitors, such as Russia. One could have been forgiven for thinking that the world was largely at peace rather than facing the threat of global terrorism or a dangerous rogue regime aggressively seeking nuclear weapons capability.

Biden's remarks touched on several key areas, from Iran to NATO reform--all of which gave major cause for concern--and left critical questions unanswered.

Iran

The Vice President confirmed the new Administration's willingness to enter into direct negotiations with the Islamist regime in Tehran.

In essence, Biden offered a quid pro quo deal with Iran--the kind the European Union has offered for several years with absolutely nothing to show for it except spectacular failure.

Missile Defense

The Vice President stated that the United States "will continue to develop missile defenses to counter a growing Iranian capability, provided the technology is proven to work and cost effective." However, Biden gave no pledge to press ahead with a third-site missile defense system in Eastern and Central Europe, sowing the seeds of further confusion in Poland and the Czech Republic, two key U.S. allies who have agreed to participate in the defense system by hosting missile interceptors and early warning radar.

Russia

Aside from a refusal to recognize the breakaway Georgian provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, there was little evidence in Biden's speech that the Obama Administration intends to adopt a tough line toward Russian aggression in its "Near Abroad" or attempts to bully and intimidate its neighbors in the Caucasus as well as Eastern Europe. Significantly, Biden made no mention of U.S. support for Georgian and Ukrainian membership in the NATO Membership Action Plan or Russia's brutal invasion of Georgia last summer.

NATO

While reiterating the importance of the NATO alliance and the need for its renewal in the 21st century, the Vice President supports policies that will undermine the organization and weaken American influence within it. In Munich, Biden backed the full reintegration of France into "NATO structures," and French officers are reportedly in line to take two senior alliance command positions: Allied Command Transformation and Joint Command Lisbon.

Afghanistan

Biden identified the war in Afghanistan as a top foreign policy priority for the Obama Administration, calling for close cooperation with America's allies in Europe as well as the government of Pakistan.

War on Terrorism

Significantly absent from the Vice President's address was any reference to the war on terrorism or the need for the United States and its allies to be prepared for a long hard battle against Islamist terrorism. Biden spoke in soft terms of "a shared struggle against extremism" and of "a small number of violent extremists [who] are beyond the call of reason," as well as the need to seek with the Muslim world "a new way forward based on mutual interest and mutual respect." There was no indication given of the sheer scale of the global fight against al-Qaeda and its allies. Al-Qaeda is mentioned just once in Biden's speech, and only within the context of Afghanistan.

The Vice President also avoided directly mentioning terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel. There were no words of support for Israel's recent offensive against Hamas in Gaza, suggesting a significant shift away from open support for Israel by the new U.S. Administration.

A Celebration of Soft Power

Vice President Biden delivered what was in essence a quintessentially European-style speech on German soil. It was an address that tried to be all things to all people, lacking in concrete policy prescriptions and cloaked in vague statements designed to cause minimal offense in foreign capitals, including those of America's worst enemies. Biden's address was above all a celebration of "soft power," cynically re-branded by the Obama Administration as "smart power."

Wild Thing's comment........

The incompetence of the this group will be irresistible to the terrorist types. They have been waiting for idiots like this to be in control. What Biden and Obama don't seem to understand is that in the Muslim world, their conciliatory attitude will not result in a reciprocal "kinder, gentler" attitude.

Robert Kennedy Jr.: Hog farmers bigger threat than Osama

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tells Congressman Steve King that hog producers are a greater threat to the United States and U.S. democracy than Osama bin Laden in a February 4, 2009 House Judiciary Committee hearing.

RFK Jr.: Hog farmers bigger threat than Osama

http://webofdeception.com/obama.html

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today turned a congressional subcommittee hearing into a diatribe on the dangers faced by the United States, affirming that hog producers are a far greater threat to the nation's future than Osama bin Laden – and his terror network.

Kennedy's comments came in response to a question from U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.

King asked whether a comment attributed to Kennedy in a published Iowa report in 2002 was accurate. In that, Kennedy stated that, "Large-scale hog producers are a greater threat to the United States and U.S. democracy than Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network."

"Is that an accurate quote?" asked King, whose state includes thousands of small businesses producing pork.

"I don't know if that [quotation] is accurate, but I believe it and I support it," said Mr. Kennedy, who has been involved in a vigorous legal effort against the meat industry for some years, arguing that manure and other products associated with large livestock producers emit toxic wastes that threaten the environment.

"I believe it and I support it," Kennedy said.

Kennedy explained that he agrees with Teddy Roosevelt's statement that "this nation would never be destroyed by a foreign enemy. But he said malefactors with great wealth working from within would erode and subvert American democracy."

But Kennedy accused King of asking an "inflammatory" question.

"Osama has no power over this country," he said, periodically poking his finger in the air at the congressman. "Osama can't make us alter our Constitution but that is happening every day because of the power of this industry [hog producers]."

A spokesman for King's office in Washington said the congressman was concerned by the statements from Kennedy that accused the hog industry of subverting public officials, polluting the earth and damaging the nation.

Wild Thing's comment..........

LMAO I know PIGS are definitely a threat to Osama Bin Laden and his head choppin muslim buddies. Kennedy is an idiot.

Robert Kennedy is too stupid to know what the Teddy Roosevelt's statement even means. I HATE when these jerks do this kind of thing.

I’ve never known hog farmers to take down skyscrapers. But that’s just me.

Daschle and Nancy Killefer Bows Out Due To Not Paying Taxes

Former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle withdraws his nomination as Obama's health and human services secretary.

"But if 30 years of exposure to the challenges inherent in our system has taught me anything, it has taught me that this work will require a leader who can operate with the full faith of Congress and the American people, and without distraction," he said.

"Right now, I am not that leader, and will not be a distraction. The focus of Congress should be on the urgent business of moving the president's economic agenda forward, including affordable health care for every American."

Obama pick, Nancy Killefer, withdraws as tax problems take their toll on nominees

Timesonline.co.uk

President Obama’s promise to set a new ethical standard in politics took another knock today when his budget enforcer was forced to withdraw amid revelations that she did not pay her taxes on time.

Nancy Killefer, a director of the McKinsey management consultancy firm whose brief was to cut waste and improve government efficiency, is the third member of the White House team to encounter trouble over her personal finances. Reports said that she failed for over a a year and a half to pay employment taxes on her domestic help.

Ms Killefer’s decision to withdraw her nomination follows similar controversies with Tim Geithner and Tom Daschle over their failure to pay back taxes.

Mr Geithner was confirmed as Treasury Secretary only after he apologised for his belated payment of tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes which he owed from his time working for the International Monetary Fund.

Mr Daschle's prospects of receiving Senate confirmation for the position as Health Secretary are hanging in the balance after he admitted that he was "deeply embarrassed and disappointed" by his failure to pay $128,000 (£89,000) in taxes for a car and driver provided to him by a wealthy Democratic donor.

Wild Thing's comment.........

SahWEET!

Two down ( Richardson and Daschle ) and the rest of the administration to go. Obama not only has a problem with how he was vetted but he also has a problem in vetting his picks.

Geithner needs to step down now, as well.

Is Obama trying to say something by continually picking people with tax problems?

Please CLICK THIS LINK...this is a MUST SEE!!!!

Look down the left column on the page.....shocking and amazing!!!!!! So many and Obama too of course all tax cheats. Family members etc. take a peek at the link, VERY interersting.

Jim DeMint Statement on Holder Nomination for Attorney General

his website

February 2, 2009 - WASHINGTON, D.C.

"Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) made the following statement regarding his decision to oppose President Obama’s nomination of Eric Holder for U.S. Attorney General:

“The Attorney General is our nation’s top law enforcement official, and Americans deserve better than someone who helped pardon terrorists and tax cheats and who is hostile to Second Amendment rights,” said Senator DeMint.

As assistant U.S. attorney general during the Clinton Administration, Holder recommended that Marc Rich, one of the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” at the time, receive a presidential pardon. Rich was indicted in 1983 for evading more than $48 million in taxes. He was charged with 51 counts of tax fraud and for running illegal oil deals with Iran during the 1979-1980 hostage crisis.

Holder repeatedly pressed his subordinates at Department of Justice to drop their opposition to a controversial 1999 pardon of 16 members of two Puerto Rican terrorist groups convicted of bank robbery, possession of explosives and a conspiracy that was linked to more than 146 bombings in the U.S., multiple armed robberies, six murders and hundreds of injuries.

The two largest Second Amendment advocacy groups, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the National Rifle Association (NRA), representing more than 4.3 million Americans, both opposed the confirmation of Holder. He joined an amicus brief opposing an individual’s right to keep and bear arms in the District of Columbia vs. Heller U.S. Supreme Court case. "

WIMPY Lindsey Graham Supports Holder for Attorney General

his website

"Mr. Holder understands the threat to our nation posed by terrorism. In the Judiciary Committee’s hearing on the nomination, Mr. Holder agreed with me the United States is undoubtedly at war with a vicious and shadowy enemy, and that the war began before the attacks of September 11, 2001.

“Mr. Holder agreed with me as well that the battlefield in the War on Terror is the entire globe. It is not limited to the combat zones of Afghanistan and Iraq, but also includes the financial system, through which terrorist networks are funded; and the internet, through which terrorists communicate and spread their message of violence and hatred. Indeed, the tragic events of 9/11 proved that the battlefield even extends within our nation’s own borders. The question of how best to win the War on Terror is the most profound issue facing the next Attorney General. Mr. Holder understands the nature of this enemy and this conflict.

“There are some who argue that Mr. Holder’s previous mistakes should bar him from serving as Attorney General. In expressing my support for Mr. Holder, I do not mean to minimize those misjudgments. Indeed, Mr. Holder faces his past mistakes fully — admitting them, learning from them, and promising to exercise better judgment in the future. While I understand concern with Mr. Holder’s past errors, it would be a mistake in its own right to reject on that basis this qualified nominee who comprehends the challenge our nation faces in defeating terrorism.

“I look forward to working with President Obama and Mr. Holder to fashion a system of detention for the War on

Terror involving all three branches of government and of which all Americans can be proud. Mr. Holder and I agree that in order to maintain the critical moral high ground in this war, we must treat detainees fairly, with more process than they would necessarily provide us. We also agree that we must not release dangerous warriors back to the fight against our nation. Criminalizing this war would be a terrible mistake, and Mr. Holder understands that.

“Four years ago, President Obama, then Senator Obama, stated on the floor of the Senate that the test of a nominee for Attorney General is, “whether that person is ready to put the Constitution of the people before the political agenda of the President.” Eric Holder meets that test and for that reason I will support his nomination.”

Wild Thing's comment.....

I am just stunned that Jeff Sessions voted for this thug. And I am not surprised by McCain voting yes but Saxby?? Sarah Palin did all she could to help him get elected.

I forget. Is he one of the tax cheats, lobbyists, Marxist activists, or just another one of the scheister lawyers?...just kidding, But my gosh this Obama's change are all people that should be in jail....at least that!

The Clinton retreads will now get a chance to completely screw up what they missed the first time.

The tax system is about as “voluntary” as pulling over to the side of the road when you see flashing blue and red lights in your rearview mirror.

Here Is The List Where Money Will Be Spent In Stimulus Bill

The House is expected to approve today an $825 billion economic stimulus package.

Republicans Object to Stimulus Dollars for ACORN

Republicans say voter registration and community groups like ACORN could be eligible for funding under the Democrats' economic stimulus bill.

FOX News
Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that ACORN, the low-income advocacy group under investigation for voter registration fraud, could be eligible for billions in aid from the economic stimulus proposal working its way through the House.

House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement over the weekend noting that the stimulus bill wending its way through Congress provides $4.19 billion for "neighborhood stabilization activities."

He said the money was previously limited to state and local governments, but that Democrats now want part of it to be available to non-profit entities. That means groups like ACORN would be eligible for a portion of the funds.

Sen. David Vitter, R-La., told FOX News Tuesday that the money could be seen as "payoff" for groups' political activities in the last election. ACORN generally supports Democratic candidates and actively backed President Obama last year.

But he said the funding is just one example of frivolous spending items in the $825 billion package.

"It's just a long list of spending items. Not a real economic stimulus job creation bill," Vitter said. "It's line after line after line of favorite liberal spending programs, and it amounts to a big government bill -- not a job creation bill."

The Pelosi-Obey Stimulus bill includes $358 billion in spending under the Appropriations Committee's jurisdiction. When combined with new spending that will be considered by the Ways and Means Committee, the estimated cost of all spending will reach more than $550 billion. Additionally, there is an estimated$,275 billion tax component, which will bring the total cost of the bill to $825 billion.

Boehner to GOP: Vote against stimulus

Politico

The nitpicking took its toll, and Obama on Monday privately urged House Democrats to remove a notable flash point: funds for contraception that had been defended by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on national television just a day before. The Democrats agreed.

Loath to criticize a president who enjoys stratospheric approval ratings and the good tidings of most Americans, Republicans on the Hill are instead framing their overwhelming opposition to the stimulus bill as a vote against a congressional Democratic leadership that is far less popular than Obama.

“It’s not so much his effort, it’s what the House has done with this bill, what Pelosi has done with this bill,” explained Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), a veteran member of the Appropriations Committee.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), a young conservative firebrand, was more blunt when asked what happened to Obama’s honeymoon: “Ask Pelosi.”

Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.), a senior appropriator, said that “several people” registered complaints to Obama that the GOP had not been consulted in the development of the bills now being marked up in the Finance and Appropriations committees.

The committees “were run without Republican participation, the Appropriations bill had things in my subcommittee part that we never saw or had anything to say about. We have been shut out.”

Not all Republicans will say the honeymoon is over, but rather that it’s Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders who are doing their best to turn on the cold shower.

Wild Thing's comment........

I read each one of them.

What a bunch of BS and if they think this list is going to stimulate anything close to jobs and helping the economy they have totally lost their minds. OH wait they have lost their minds we are talking about Pelosi and her gang and Obama their leader, their Commrade!

This thing is packed with pork! INSANITY!!!! And get this, now they are printing more money to do this with. OMG this is so dangerous what they are doing.

$726 million for after school snacks. Wow, is that going to create jobs?????

$200 MILLION for sod for the Mall? There is NO WAY that it would cost a tenth that much. Oh wait, we’re talking about the federal government where Obama is going to hire 2,000 people and pay them $50,000 each to put down ONE piece of sod each.

Democratic stimulus package would provide up to a whopping $5.2 billion for ACORN!!! HO-bama's favorite. Most of the money is secreted away under an item in the now $836 billion package titled “Neighborhood Stabilization Programs.”

From Rush:

"If Obama can co-opt McConnell and a number of Republicans in the Senate to go along with him on this, then when this economy blows up, they're on record with Obama as being responsible. This is why it's crucial that the Republicans hold out. Because Obama doesn't need a single Republican vote in the House to get what he wants, and he only needs a couple in the Senate, and that couple is just to break cloture." Barney Frank -- who helped cause this meltdown by forcing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make loans that'd never be paid -- says Obama's mandate is to control businesses, because conservative economics of letting the market work have demonstrably failed. This is totally backwards."

Kennedys Want Revenge

Kennedys Want Revenge

NBC Washington

The Kennedy family is seeking revenge against New York Gov. David Paterson for his treatment of Caroline Kennedy during her aborted bid for the senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton, the New York Post reported

"The governor's going to pay for this," a prominent Democrat told the New York Post. "Ted is furious. The family is furious. The Kennedys are now against the governor."

Patterson allegedly implored Kennedy not to suddenly withdrawal from contention, New York magazine reported.

"You can't withdraw. You've got to stay in this thing, and I'll just not pick you," Paterson allegedly told her during a phone conversation Wednesday.

The governor's office is also being blamed for unflattering leaks about Kennedy's taxes, her nanny and her marriage, sources told the Post.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Where was this outrage when Mary Jo Kopechne was murdered by this blowhard Ted Kennedy.

HAHAHAHAHAHA - Kennedys are furious. CAMELOT is dead - get over it ! Caroline Kennedy was just the latest Kennedy buffoon. Totally unqualified.

Paterson had better watch his step! (Also, if he rides with Ted Kennedy anywhere, he (Paterson) had better drive!)
Yes I know Peterson is blind, but it still is safer for him to drive then to let Kennedy to it.

LOL Bill and Hillary Clinton must be really laughing so hard at all of this. Ted and Caroline Kenendy both endorsed B.Hussein Obama.

Pelosi Signals Willingness To Add to TARP Funds

Pelosi signals willingness to add to TARP funds

Reuters

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday the federal government may need to pump more taxpayer funds into the faltering banking system and that taxpayers should receive equity as compensation.

Pelosi told ABC's "This Week" program that "some increased investment" might be needed beyond the $700 billion approved last year under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, to stabilize the nation's banks and get them to resume making loans.

Congress would require more oversight of any further bank bailout, the California Democrat said.

"Change has to happen in terms of what is done, what the transparency of it is, what the accountability of it is. Only then would we be able to pass any additional funding," Pelosi said.

President Barack Obama's pick for treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, said last week the Treasury had no current plans to request more bailout money beyond the $700 billion already authorized, but that the situation was "dynamic."

"We have to be prepared to act flexibly and with speed if conditions worsen appreciably, to devote more resources if that is necessary to secure our objectives," he wrote last week in reply to written questions during his confirmation hearing.

Billions of dollars in auto and credit card debt held by banks are expected to default in 2009, after the billions in mortgage-backed debt that initiated the financial crisis.

The first $350 billion in TARP funds has been committed and lawmakers agreed last week to release the second half.

Pelosi said the government should take an equity stake in banks that receive funds so taxpayers could share in any upside as banks return to health.

"If we are strengthening (the banks), then the American people should get some of the upside of that strengthening," she said. "Some people call that nationalization. I'm not talking about total ownership."

The government has obtained preferred shares for the capital it pumped into ailing institutions as part of the first half of the TARP program.

Geithner said on Wednesday the Obama administration in coming weeks would unveil a multi-pronged effort to stabilize the housing market, strengthen core banks and support consumer credit to help foster economic recovery.

One idea calls for the establishment of a "bad bank" that would take distressed assets off banks' balance sheets to free them up to resume lending.

Geithner won Senate Finance Committee backing on Thursday, and the chamber's majority leader said he expected the full Senate to confirm him.

Pelosi Says Birth Control Will Help Economy and Obama Taxes for Abortions

Pelosi Says Birth Control Will Help Economy

Drudge

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth control funding to the new economic "stimulus" package, claiming "contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government."

Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said, "Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom," seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.

The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC's THIS WEEK.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?

PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?

PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

But there is more look at this..................

President Barack Obama Forces Taxpayers to Fund, Promote Worldwide Abortions

Life News.com

Barack Obama promised during the presidential campaign that he wanted to reduce abortions and said as much in a statement yesterday in association with the anniversary of Roe. Today, however, he betrayed that promise by forcing taxpayers to fund groups promoting and performing abortions overseas.

In an executive order, the president officially scrapped the Mexico City Policy that protected taxpayers from involvement in overseas abortions for eight years. Now, Obama will send hundreds of millions of dollars to groups that aggressively promote abortions on a worldwide scale.

Obama was slated to overturn on Thursday the protections President Bush put back in place following the Clinton administration, but Obama decided to wait.

He hoped his decision today to force taxpayers to fund foreign abortions will somehow make him seem less radical because he decided to wait until after the pro-life movement mourned the thirty-sixth anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

The executive order will make non-governmental groups that do abortions in other nations or lobby pro-life countries to overturn their abortion limits eligible for public funds.

During the Bush administration, such groups were prevented from receiving the family planning money or any aid through the State Department, if they would not back down from their pro-abortion agenda.

Douglas Johnson, the legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, emailed LifeNews.com about Obama's decision.

He told LifeNews.com how the executive order will hurt non-abortion groups that provide medical care and services to women and families in foreign nations.

"One effect of Obama's order will be to divert many millions of dollars away from groups that do not promote abortion, and into the hands of those organizations that are the most aggressive in promoting abortion in developing countries," he said.

"Obama's order will predictably result in a redirection of funds to groups such as the International Planned Parenthood Federation, which are ideologically committed to the doctrine that abortion on demand must be universally available as a birth control method," Johnson said.

Johnson said pro-life advocates need to brace for more attacks on pro-life laws and measures.

"This is the first in an anticipated series of attacks on longstanding pro-life policies, as the new administration pushes Obama's sweeping abortion agenda," he said. "That agenda includes repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which would result in tax-funded abortion as a birth control method in the U.S., and imposition of sweeping pro-abortion mandates on private employers through health-care reform legislation."

The two biggest abortion businesses in the world, the U.S.-based Planned Parenthood and the British-based Marie Stopes International, refused to stop doing abortions or trying to get nations to abandon their pro-life culture and heritage and refused to follow the pro-life rules and accept the funds.

Now, taxpayers will fund those abortion businesses and their abortion marketing campaigns.

Wild Thing's comment.......

The Dems new slogan: We’ll abort our way out of debt!!

So when is the Pope going to needs to excommunicate Pelosi, Obama and Biden. All three of them are pro baby killers. And this latest BS won't fly much with the Pope either is my guess. I am not Catholic so I don't know all the stands on this kind of thing.

Yeah, Nancy. Kill off all the American babies and replace them with illegal aliens who can work for you on the cheap.

Gov. Peterson Picks Gillibrand as Liberal Dems Howl!

Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand

New York Post

ALBANY

Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York's junior senator, it was learned last night.

The surprising - and, for many Democrats shocking - decision to pick the conservative Gillibrand, 42, from Hudson in Columbia County, was disclosed by the governor in calls to party officials and some members of the state's congressional delegation, many of whom said they were unhappy with the selection, sources said.

The decision was a major rebuff to some of the state's best-known Democrats interested in Clinton's seat, including Attorney General and former federal Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo, for whom Gillibrand once worked as a junior lawyer; Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi, and Reps. Carolyn Maloney of Manhattan and Steve Israel of Suffolk County.

Sources said "at least five" members of the state's Democratic congressional delegation called Paterson to protest the possibility of Gillibrand's selection.

One, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of Nassau County, even threatened a primary challenge. Gillibrand faces a special election in 2010.

Democratic activists predicted that Cuomo, son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo, would also "seriously consider" challenging Paterson in a primary next year.

Gillibrand has won two successive elections in one of the heaviest GOP districts in the state, first upsetting incumbent Rep. John Sweeney and, in November, defeating former state GOP chairman and multimillionaire Alexander Treadwell, in one of the most expensive races in the nation.

Liberal Democrats have been wary of her because she ran for re-election with the backing of the National Rifle Association, opposed the federal TARP program to rescue banks, and has been less than enthusiastic about gay marriage.

Dave Picks Gillibrand as LILberal Dems Howl

Gov. Blagojevich Compares His Arrest to Attack on Pearl Harbor

Gov. Blagojevich Compares His Arrest to Attack on Pearl Harbor

FOX News

CHICAGO

Illinois' embattled but defiant governor, so fond of reciting poetry as he defends himself against federal corruption allegations, has turned instead to the history books to describe the emotional strain his arrest put on him and his family.

In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared his early morning December arrest by FBI agents to Japan's 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

He says it was a "complete surprise" but he'll prevail, just like America in World War II.

Blagojevich says there's no chance he will resign before the start of the state Senate's impeachment trial next week. He says he will fight the allegations against him "to the very end."

The two-term Democrat is accused of scheming to swap President Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat for personal gain.

Facing almost certain defeat in the Senate impeachment trial, Blagojevich might ask the courts to step in and block a proceeding that he considers "a sham," a lawyer for the Democratic governor said.

Attorney Samuel E. Adam told The Associated Press on Thursday that a lawsuit challenging what he called "completely unfair" Senate trial rules is being prepared and could be filed to the state Supreme Court within days, pending a final decision on whether to move forward.

Blagojevich's trial is set to begin Monday.

Wild Thing's comment.......

“Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared his early morning December arrest by FBI agents to Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.”

Just when you think politics can’t get anymore bizarre

Blago is insane. What is it with them that they always compare things to things like this.

Remember back in April of last year, when Al Gore on "60 Minutes" compared the challenge of fighting global warming to the invasion of Normandy and the civil rights . And Shelia Jackson Lee, who, when told that the US space program had gotten to Mars, asked if they had been able to see the flag that the astronauts left there. She also blamed the Katrina deaths on the " Supression of the black vote."

Democrats Urge Lieberman to Apologize To Obama, Biden

Lieberman Urged To Apologize To Obama, Biden

WFSB

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut Democrats are calling on Sen. Joe Lieberman to apologize to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for his comments criticizing them during the campaign

The request was made in a Jan. 16 letter from Nancy DiNardo, chairwoman of the state party, on behalf of the Democratic State Central Committee.

It chastises the longtime Democrat, who won re-election in 2006 as an independent, for speaking at the Republican National Convention on behalf of Sen. John McCain.

The letter states that Lieberman's appearance undermined the efforts of Democratic candidates in Connecticut and across the country.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Fascists !!!!

To apologize for speaking critically? Is there a right to speak freely, or will there be government-imposed sanctions if you don’t apologize for doing so?

What about their criticisms of him , and their their criticisms of Sarah Palin, and their their criticisms of Bush and Cheney which is STILL happening.

Apologize for what? Standing on principle regarding the war against those who want to kill us, and then telling the truth about it? Never, ever, never, not once, no never, I mean never apologize for the truth.

It's always nice to see the left in full "We shall accept NO individuality!" mode. I thought Obama said he was listening to "especially" those who don't agree with him? YO homeboy Obama you are a LIAR! But we already knew that.

This is the Democrats’ version of unity - no dissent.

Lieberman should go in front of the microphones live and start reading a written apology: “I regret that I criticized Obama and I would like to take this opportunity...take this opportunity...I can’t make out Rahm’s handwriting here...”

White male construction workers are not their constituents, but the unemployed, some minorities, and some women are. They intend to build the dependency of these on them.

White construction workers will not be dependent on the DemonRats, so they do not want to help them.

This is about Socialism you understand. (Communism-Marxism-Fascism- Socialism- Liberalism)

These people have designs on this country that most citizens will not believe. For Reich to say, “Jobs should not go to WHITE MALE CONSTRUCTION workers” is quite an admission.

It also shows how supremely confident the libs are that they will not be challenged. UNREAL!

Good News! Boreing,Non Voting Caroline Kennedy Says No To Sen. Bid

Kennedy cites 'personal reasons' for dropping Senate bid

Caroline Kennedy has given up her bid for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton.

In a one-line statement citing personal reasons, the widely considered front-runner said Thursday she told New York Gov. David Paterson a day earlier that she was no longer interested in the job.

"I informed Governor Paterson today that for personal reasons I am withdrawing my name from consideration for the United States Senate."

The statement, provided by Kennedy's press person Stefan Friedman, was issued after hours of divergent reports Wednesday evening.

The 51-year-old daughter of slain President John F. Kennedy has been involved in education reform and women's issues, but she never has held public office and mostly has stayed out of the public spotlight.

Wild Thing's comment........

Good, it will be a dem either way, but God help us from any more of the Kennedy's!

I for one have had my fill of them. She has barely voted in the last how many years and she can't speak. She uses as many UH-ER-UH'S as B.Hussein Obama does. And because she is a Kennedy she would ba asked to be on all the political talk shows as the media will over due their invites to yet another Kennedy. God help us from all of that.

Republicans Blast Pelosi for Politicizing Intelligence

Republicans Blast Pelosi for Politicizing Intelligence

newsmax

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision this week to pack the House intelligence committee with Democrats — despite a clear recommendation from the 9/11 commission to keep politics out of intelligence matters — has roiled Republicans.

Concerned by reports of the “politicization” of intelligence, the 9/11 commission recommended in July 2004 that the House and Senate intelligence committees be almost evenly balanced, regardless of the number of Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

“The majority party’s representation on this committee should never exceed the minority’s representation by more than one,” the final report of the 9/11 Commission states on page 421.

The issue of how many Republicans and Democrats should sit on the intelligence committees is not just inside baseball. It goes to the heart of the way national security issues will be debated in the next administration, and how oversight will be conducted in Congress.

“We want to work together with president-elect Obama on matters of national intelligence, but the decision by Democratic leaders to make policymaking and oversight at the House Intelligence committee more partisan undermines that effort,” House minority leader John Boehner, R-OH, said on Wednesday.

“In the last Congress, Republicans led bipartisan efforts to strip all earmarks from the annual intelligence bill and pass terrorist surveillance legislation to help keep America safe,” Boehner added. “And now Democratic leaders are seeking political advantage on a committee charged with protecting the American people.”

The composition of Congressional committees is decided during the early days of the new Congress in January, as the recent election results are factored in.

Keeping intelligence free of politicization will be important in the next administration as key national security issues are debated, in particular Iran.

Wild Thing's comment........

The Dems play for keeps and don’t give a hoot about “bipartisanship”.

"Nancy Pelosi’s decision this week to pack the House intelligence committee with Democrats"

Just a question...... what does Nancy Pelosi know about knows about intelligence. She is going to get us killed.

Former Black Panther DEMOCRAT Bobby Rush's New GUN Bill

Movie "Red Dawn" about Russia attacking America.

"In our time, no foreign army has ever occupied American soil. "

Big Brother's new target: Tracking of all firearms

'This is nothing less than a declaration of war on American gun owners'

http://www.mouseguns.com/storage.htm

By Drew Zahn

U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., is hoping to pass a firearm-licensing bill that will significantly rewrite gun-ownership laws in America.

Among the more controversial provisions of the bill are requirements that all handgun owners submit to the federal government a photo, thumb print and mental heath records. Further, the bill would order the attorney general to establish a database of every handgun sale, transfer and owner's address in America.

The bill claims its purpose is "to protect the public against the unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with the unrecorded sale or transfer of firearms to criminals and youth."

Columnist David Codrea of Guns Magazine, however, calls it a "ridiculous affront to liberty."

"This is nothing less than a declaration of war on American gun owners," Codrea writes on Gun Rights Examiner.

Rush's proposed bill, H.R. 45, is alternatively known as "Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009," named after an Illinois teenager killed by a gunshot.

According the bill's text, "On the afternoon of May 10, 2007, Blair Holt, a junior at Julian High School in Chicago, was killed on a public bus riding home from school when he used his body to shield a girl who was in the line of fire after a young man boarded the bus and started shooting."

The bill then argues that interstate firearm trafficking and children dying from gun violence create legitimate cause for the federal government to monitor gun ownership and transfers in new ways.

If passed, the bill would make it illegal to own or possess a "qualifying firearm" – defined as any handgun or any semiautomatic firearm that takes an ammunition clip – without a "Blair Holt" license.

To obtain a "Blair Holt" license, an application must be made that includes a photo, address, all previous aliases, thumb print, completion of a written firearm safety test, release of mental health records to the attorney general and a fee not to exceed $25.

Further, the bill makes it illegal to transfer ownership of a qualifying firearm to anyone who is not a licensed gun dealer or collector. Exceptions to this rule include transfer to family members by gift or bequest and loans, not to exceed 30 days, of a firearm for lawful purposes "between persons who are personally known to each other."

The bill also requires qualifying firearm owners to report all transfers to the attorney general's database. It would also be illegal for a licensed gun owner to fail to record a gun loss or theft within 72 hours or fail to report a change of address within 60 days.

And if a minor obtains a weapon and injures someone with it, the owner of the gun – if deemed to have failed to meet certain safety requirements – faces a multiple-year jail sentence.

H.R. 45 is a resurfacing of 2007's H.R. 2666, which contained much of the same language and was co-sponsored by 15 other representatives and Barack Obama's current chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel. H.R. 2666 was assigned to the House Judiciary committee, where no action was taken.

H.R. 45 currently has no co-sponsors and is likewise assigned to the House Judiciary committee.

Wild Thing's comment.........

The fact that this Bobby “Everything White Is Racist” Rush, a former black panther, his constituency has no intention of following these laws. This is a blatant attempt to disarm the good guys. It is an attempt to ITENTIFY and CONTROL all handguns in the USA !

The only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it.

Like in the movie "red Dawn", noting what it is that separates the group on the inside of the wire from the individuals on the outside ......weapons.

The armed thief is secure in the knowledge that all that is yours is his for the taking once he knows your only defense is to ask, “Please, no?”

Officials Turn Down The CHEAT Al Franken Request in Minn. Race

Officials turn down Franken request in Minn. race

ST. PAUL, Minn

Democrat Al Franken was quickly turned down Monday when he asked Minnesota's governor and secretary of state to issue an election certificate that would let him take office in the Senate.

In letters the campaign sent to Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, Franken's lawyers argued that a seven-day waiting period for issuing the certificate after an election has passed and he should get the signed certificate. But the state officials said their hands were tied by state law and they could not act.

Franken led Republican Norm Coleman by 225 votes after a statewide recount that was completed Jan. 5.

Coleman is suing over the result, claiming there were irregularities on Election Day and during the recount.

Minnesota law prevents officials from issuing an election certificate until legal matters are resolved. But Franken's legal team argues that federal election law entitles Franken to receive the certificate before the lawsuit is settled.

"The people of Minnesota are down a senator in the U.S. Senate. This is an opportunity for Governor Pawlenty and Secretary Ritchie to ensure the interests of all Minnesotans are represented in Washington," Franken lawyer Marc Elias told reporters in a conference call. He didn't rule out a lawsuit.

In a statement, Ritchie said state law requires him and the governor to turn down Franken's request.

"Minnesota law is very clear on when a certificate of election can be issued. Neither the governor nor I may sign a certificate of election in the U.S. Senate race until all election contests have reached a final determination," Ritchie's statement read.

The statement didn't specifically address Franken's argument that federal law supercedes the state law.

Pawlenty echoed Ritchie, saying it is clear the law won't allow him to issue a certificate while the race is being contested in court.

Coleman campaign manager Cullen Sheehan dismissed the move as a power play meant to get around Franken's need to defend the election outcome in court.

"He can't and won't be seated in a seat he didn't win, so he is trying this underhanded attempt to blatantly ignore the will of Minnesotans and the laws of the state," Sheehan said.

Franken's campaign was due to file a response to Coleman's lawsuit later Monday. Elias characterized the Coleman action as "riddled with errors that are fatal to much if not all of the claims made in the petition."

By law, a trial on the lawsuit must start within three weeks of its filing, which occurred last Tuesday. It will be heard by a three-judge panel that includes one Republican appointee, one Democratic appointee and one named by an independent governor.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Standard Democrat election strategy. Recount until you "find" enough new ballots to change the result and then stop.

What a total mess they have in Minn. And the only reason is because of the democrats! They just can't do things legally and orderly. They have to LIE, CHEAT and STEAL to try and win. Heck Obama did that when he stole all those votes from Hillary Clinton. Dead people voting, ACORN, etc, all things the Democrats have their filthy hands into.

Here are the facts. Coleman won the election by approximately 700 votes. Then a bunch of mysterious BS “corrections” reduced his lead to about 200 votes before the recount even started. Then, during the recount, boxes of mysterious extra votes kept turning up for Franken, coming from the strangest places.

Al Franken will never be a legitimate U.S. Senator, even if he is officially certified and takes the seat. There won’t be any justice until Coleman takes his rightful Senate position and Franken takes a position in federal prison for stealing the election.

America Hating Corrupt Harry Reid’s Land Grab

Harry Reid’s Land Grab

Townhall

by Amanda Carpenter

It’s hard to pinpoint the worst part of the public lands legislation bill Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is calling up for an under-the-radar Sunday vote.

The 1200-page, pork-laden, $10 billion proposal locks up millions of acres of energy-rich property by designating it as environmentalist-friendly “federal wilderness” area where not even as much as a bicycle would be permitted to travel across the land. Many of these areas recently became available when the ban on domestic drilling in Western states expired last fall and the liberal left couldn’t muster the courage to keep it in place due to rising energy prices. Now Democratic leaders are using different legislative strategies to put a new kind of ban in place.

One Republican House staffer put it this way: “Reid is going to make it federal land so no one can touch it. He’s locking up the equivalent of ANWR.”

Since the price of gasoline has dropped and attention has diverted to other matters, such as President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration, Leader Reid has made the land grab a priority and is calling members of the Senate back to Washington on Sunday to rush it through.

For example, one piece of the bill that has drawn the ire of the Wall Street Journal is a provision sponsored by Rep. Barney Frank (D.-Mass.). He’d like to make a robust, container shipping port located in his district’s Taunton River into a scenic tourist destination. This would have the liberally convenient side effect of killing a proposal to create a terminal to import liquefied natural gas.

For the rest of the article go HERE

Update:

The U.S. Senate passed the bill Sunday by a vote of 66-12.

Majority Leader Harry Reid was successful in corralling enough votes to advance his $10 billion land grab, despite 17 Republicans who protested the bill by skipping the vote altogether.

Basically, by using "federal wilderness" laws and other environental designations, the Democratic Congress is locking-up energy-rich domestic lands. Instead of putting a new energy ban in place, they are just going to let the federal government absorb them so they'll never be developed.

66 senators supported the bill over 12 who voted "nay" on it. Not a single Democratic senator voted against it.

Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming would vote on the bill. He supported a provision to prohibit energy exploration in state. He DID vote for the bill. So did Barrasso's fellow Wyoming Republican Sen. Mike Enzi.

Other Republicans who crossed party lines with Barrasso and Enzi to help Reid pass the omnibus were:

Thad Cochran
Susan Collins
Mike Crapo
Orrin Hatch
Richard Lugar
Lisa Murkowski
Jim Risch
Olympia Snowe
Roger Wicker

Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urged his colleagues oppose the bill, protesting the way Reid rushed the bill through. His Communications Director Don Stewart told Townhall, "Sen. McConnell is disappointed this parks bill restricts development of energy resources at a time when we should be doing much more to become energy independent. And less than a week after the CBO announced a staggering $1.2 trillion federal deficit, he questions the merits of rushing a bill that commits to spending billions more of taxpayer dollars."

The bill will now be sent over to the House where it could be significantly amended by House Republicans although they'll be forced to be very creative. Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently passed a new rules package that took powerful tools away from the minority when it comes to amending legislation.

Wild Thing's comment.......

The socialists want to control everything possible so they limit the space to exercize freedom, and also stop and future drilling for Oil.

Harry Reid is my enemy, and I am so sick of this slime that he is and the rest of his partners in crime.

The Democrat Chicago Way ~ LOL So Much Corruption So Little Time

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid talk to the press about Roland Burris in the hall of the Senate in Washington

State court rebuffs Burris on Senate signature
January 9, 2009 3:03 PM

The Illinois Supreme Court today rejected Roland Burris’ effort to get the signature he needs to complete his appointment to the U.S. Senate.

The court’s unanimous ruling tosses the issue back to Washington. Democratic U.S. Senate leaders, including Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, now will have to decide whether to hold firm to their insistence that Burris get a signature on his appointment form from Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White before gaining admittance.

Illinois Supreme Court Says Burris appointment valid

cnn

Illinois’ highest court on Friday validated the appointment of Roland Burris to fill Barack Obama’s vacant U.S. Senate seat, ruling that the Illinois secretary of state does not have to sign off on it.

Roland Burris’s appointment to the U.S. Senate is valid, the Illinois Supreme Court says.

The court’s opinion states that “no further action is required by the Secretary of State or any other official to make the Governor’s appointment of Roland Burris to the United States Senate valid under Illinois law.”

Durbin: Senate won't seat Burris without signature ....or Durbin the Turbin giving the finger to the Illinois Supreme Court

WGN news

Attorney: Ruling gives Burris the Senate seat

Just days after his prospective colleagues in Washington turned him back from the Capitol, Roland Burris seized on an Illinois high court decision filed Friday to assert he has all he needs to be accepted as President-elect Barack Obama's replacement in the U.S. Senate.

But key senators disagreed.

At his news conference, Durbin said 125-year-old Senate rules demand that the secretary of state sign the appointment paperwork from Blagojevich, regardless of the Illinois court decision.

"At this point, we've clearly reached an impasse," Durbin said. "In this case, there is a missing signature under Senate rules."

Later Friday, however, Durbin and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada issued a one-sentence statement saying that they were seeking legal advice on how to respond to the paperwork from White.

Armed with the Illinois Supreme Court ruling, Burris' lawyers vowed to return to Washington on Monday and file suit in federal court unless top Senate Democrats reverse their rejection of impeached Gov. Rod Blagojevich's choice for the seat.

"He is now the junior senator from the state of Illinois," said Timothy Wright, one of Burris' lawyers. "It's done."

Key senators did not immediately accept that legal view. Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, the state's senior senator and the assistant Senate majority leader, called a news conference in Chicago to argue that Burris still did not meet the criteria.

The Senate's Democratic leaders have balked at accepting Burris, citing the fact that Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has refused to sign the appointment paperwork submitted by Blagojevich. In an effort to gain that signature, Burris' lawyers went to the Illinois Supreme Court and asked that White be ordered to sign the document.

Wild Thing's comment........

Reid and Pelosi don’t like to be bossed around, they want to run the show. hahaha But they are going to learn that Obama is a thug from Chicago and he ran his campaign being the THUG he is.

Dirty Barack Obama

Whatever they do, do, we know it will be whatever their leader Ho-bama tells them to do. Obama is not going to want this stuff to take away from his crowning iinauguration day.

Did Roland Burris's Business Partner Help Patti Blagojevich Land Her Job?

Did Roland Burris's Business Partner Help Patti Blagojevich Land Her Latest Job?

Did Roland Burris's business partner, Fred Lebed, have anything to do with Patti Blagojevich landing a full-time job as development director of the Chicago Christian Industrial League?

Lebed, who served on Gov. Rod Blagojevich's transition team, also serves on CCIL's Board of Directors.

The question was raised on Sunday night by political pundit Bruce Dumont on his XM Satellite radio show "Beyond the Beltway." I was a guest, along with writer Salim Muwakkil and Judy Baar Topinka, the former state treasurer who ran against Blagojevich for governor.

When Patti Blagojevich, for the time being, at least, the first lady of Illinois, found her real estate activities scrutinized by the feds--some political insiders expected Patti to be indicted before Rod--she switched careers to the nonprofit CCIL which helps the poor and homeless.

Since 2002, Roland Burris, who will likely soon be the junior senator from Illinois unless something oozes up to taint his reputation, has been partners with Lebed in Burris & Lebed Consulting, LLC. Their website notes that both are registered lobbyists and that "their vast network of relationships are unmatched and stretch within every corner of Illinois and many of the major metropolitan areas in the country.

The website also boasts: "Burris & Lebed Consulting represents numerous clients in front of the Chicago City Council, Cook County Board of Commissioners, suburban local governments, other governmental units across Illinois, Illinois General Assembly, the Governor's Office and other local elected and appointed officials. "

Could the Lebed/CCIL/Patti Blagojevich connection provide Senators Harry Reid and Dick Durbin with the ammunition they need to keep the man whose tombstone trumpets himself as a "Trail Blazer," from joining their club?

And there is also this...............

Uncomfortable spotlight shone on Patti Blagojevich

Chicago Tribune

Her real estate deals are under federal scrutiny, and her rants, now infamous, stand out on descriptions of recordings taken from Blagojevich family home

Even before her voice was heard on covert recordings made by federal investigators, First Lady Patricia Blagojevich was neck-deep in the federal probe of her husband and his administration.

Once a residential real estate broker on the North Side, Patricia Blagojevich left that career this year amid scrutiny from the Tribune and federal agents who have for a year been examining whether clients hired her to win favor from her husband's administration.

But her decision to change careers didn't seem to slow the investigation, which sped up in recent weeks after federal agents tapped the Blagojevich's phones and caught the first lady joining her husband on calls in which he talked about how his authority to pick President-elect Barack Obama's replacement in the U.S. Senate could be leveraged to help find her a seat on paid corporate boards.

Before that, though, federal agents—following years of news coverage—were probing hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions Patricia Blagojevich earned in previous years as a real estate broker for political supporters, fundraisers and state contractors.

Wild Thing's comment........

The party of corruption and the beat goes on and on and on. They do love to keep the corruption in the family too.

I’m glad these vermin are being exposed. Patti Blagojevich was the real estate broker of record in the crooked Tony Rezko deal giving Barack Hussein Obama his Chicago mansion.

Jimmy Carter Charity Homes Start to Crumble

Wow he can do all that work without a speck of dirt. Not his hands, hat, shirt, even his tool belt.....LOL

Charity homes built by Hollywood start to crumble

Times online

RESIDENTS of a model housing estate bankrolled by Hollywood celebrities and hand-built by Jimmy Carter, the former US president, are complaining that it is falling apart.

Fairway Oaks was built on northern Florida wasteland by 10,000 volunteers, including Carter, in a record 17-day “blitz” organised by the charity Habitat for Humanity.

Eight years later it is better known for cockroaches, mildew and mysterious skin rashes.

A forthcoming legal battle over Fairway Oaks threatens the reputation of a charity envied for the calibre of its celebrity supporters, who range from Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt to Colin Firth, Christian Bale and Helena Bonham Carter.

The case could challenge the bedrock philosophy behind Habitat for Humanity, claiming that using volunteers, rather than professional builders, is causing as many problems as it solves.

April Charney, a lawyer representing many of the 85 homeowners in Fairway Oaks, said she had no problems taking on Habitat for Humanity, despite its status as a “darling of liberal social activists”. She said the charity should have told people that part of the estate had been built on a rubbish dump.

One man pulled up his floorboards to find rubbish 5ft deep under his kitchen. Other complaints include cracking walls and rotting door frames that let in rats and ants. Many residents have complained of mildew and mysterious skin rashes.

One resident said her children were suffering from skin complaints. “The intentions are good, but when the politicians and big-shot stars have left we’re stuck with the consequences. This house looks pretty but inside it either stinks or sweats,” she said.

Judy Hall, the charity’s local development director, said recently that it had been dealing with about 30 complaints. She added that skilled work was carried out by professionals.

Some residents dismiss their neighbours’ worries. Diennal Fields, 51, said people did not know how to look after their homes: “It’s simple stuff: if there is mildew, don’t get a lawyer, get a bottle of bleach.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

The “Habitat” ones he helped build in South Dakota some years ago only made it to the first snowstorm—the roofs caved in.

You let Jimmy “Habitat for Hamas” Carter build your house, you take your chances. I guess the people also expected someone to maintain the house for them as well.

The 2012 Nancy Pelosi GTxi SS/RT Sport Edition

The 2012 Pelosi GTxi SS/RT Sport Edition

It's in the way you dress. The way you boogie down. The way you sign your unemployment check. You're a man who likes to do things your own way. And on those special odd-numbered Saturdays when driving is permitted, you want it in your car. It's that special feeling of a zero-emissions wind at your back and a road ahead meandering with possibilities. The kind of feeling you get behind the wheel of the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition from Congressional Motors.

All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodeisel-electric-clean coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again -- with a vengeance.

Harry Reid: "We won't smell the tourists anymore"

Harry Reid Doesn't Like Smelly Tourists

DC Examiner

The Capitol Visitors Center, which opened this morning, may have tripled its original budget and fallen years behind schedule, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid found a silver lining for members of Congress: tourists won't offend them with their B.O. anymore.

"My staff tells me not to say this, but I'm going to say it anyway," said Reid in his remarks. "In the summer because of the heat and high humidity, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol. It may be descriptive but it's true."

But it's no longer going to be true, noted Reid, thanks to the air conditioned, indoor space.

And that's not all. "We have many bathrooms here, as you can see," Reid continued. "Souvenirs are available."

$621 million well spent.

Anxiety Among Democrats As Pelosi Tightens Her Grip

Anxiety among Democrats as Pelosi tightens her grip

Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) moves since the November elections have shaken up some of her colleagues, with some looking over their shoulders and others worried about how the Speaker will lead her expanded majority in 2009.

Next year is regarded as the biggest legislative opportunity for Democrats since 1993, the last time they controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress.

But not all Democrats are celebrating. Liberals are worried about Pelosi’s vow to govern “from the middle” and centrists are concerned that the make-up of the House leadership team has shifted noticeably to the left.

Contrary to the jubilation of House Democrats after they regained control of the lower chamber after the 2006 elections, there is some unease among members heading into the 111th Congress.

“Everybody I talk to, everybody’s worried about something,” said a Democratic staffer.

Pelosi’s effort to make some Democrats anxious could be a calculated maneuver as she seeks to maximize the effectiveness of her caucus heading into 2009. Pelosi’s hard-charging tone and decisions over the past month have sent a message to her colleagues: Don’t get too comfortable.

The seniority system that tempers the power of the Speaker is teetering, having received a body blow from Rep. Henry Waxman’s (D-Calif.) coup at the Energy and Commerce Committee.

When chairmen aren’t flinching at the possibility of a challenge from a junior member, they can look forward to being bounced by term limits in four years. That’s a change that Pelosi quietly endorsed in the 2007 House rules package.

Throughout the past four years, there has been a palpable strain in the Democratic Caucus between the older members who extol the seniority system and younger legislators who believe they deserve a more significant role in decisionmaking.

Pelosi, the unquestioned leader in the House whose enormous power seems to grow by the day, has sought to placate both factions. And to this point, she has succeeded.

Few members clash publicly with Pelosi. Reps. John Dingell (D-Mich.) and Jane Harman (D-Calif.), who were at odds with Pelosi over the last few years, were stripped of their top committee posts.

Centrists are grumbling that their growing ranks aren’t represented in the leadership team that Pelosi shaped through back-room arm-twisting. The so-called Blue Dogs, while publicly celebrating President-elect Obama’s commitment to “pay-go,” are wondering when the stimulus balloon stops expanding.

There is also growing speculation that pay-go will be waived for healthcare legislation, which is expected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

Meanwhile, Congress has swept in and out of town since the election with little to show except for a deposed chairman and a tongue-lashing for auto executives. And to the extent that any decisions are being announced, they’re coming from Obama’s headquarters in Chicago.

The word out of Pelosi’s office is not to worry.

“Everyone had and will continue to have a seat at the table,” said Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami. “Her record has been that she’s a pragmatist who gets things done.”

On the day after the election, Pelosi assured that “the country must be governed from the middle.”

But as she spoke, Waxman was seeking to move things to the left.

He spent the day making calls to fellow members asking them for the gavel of Energy and Commerce, where the heart of the Obama agenda will be hammered out. About two weeks later, the environmental left prevailed over the business-minded centrists when Dingell, the champion of the auto industry, was ousted.

“We’ll work with the new leadership,” Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.), incoming leader of the conservative Blue Dogs, said after the Dingell vote. “But to deny a man who defines the modern Congress ... is a mistake.”

Pelosi insists she had nothing to do with it. Her aides claim that she stayed strictly neutral even though Waxman hails from her state and Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller (D-Calif.), a Pelosi confidant, lobbied heavily for Waxman.

Pelosi did intervene when Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairman Chris Van Hollen (Md.) indicated he would run against Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) for caucus chairman. Van Hollen reconsidered, announcing he would stay on at the DCCC, and a Larson-Van Hollen showdown was averted.

In the Dingell-Waxman race, Pelosi’s silence was viewed as an endorsement of Waxman.

“I assume that not playing a role is playing a role,” said House Ways and Means panel Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) last month.

Rangel, in particular, has reason to pay attention to Pelosi’s attention to the seniority system. He is perceived as one of Pelosi’s most loyal lieutenants, but is under increasing pressure to give up his gavel because of mounting ethics charges against him.

Last week, Pelosi took the unusual step of issuing a statement about the ethics committee investigation of Rangel, indicating it had been accelerated.

Yet Pelosi this week reiterated her support for Rangel. Asked at a New York event whether Rangel might lose his chairmanship, she said, “I don’t foresee that.”

Still, there are signs that Republicans might challenge Rangel’s chairmanship by way of a floor vote that will further test Rangel’s standing and popularity.

The ripples of the Dingell vote are still being felt, as the discussion turns to whether Waxman loyalists will try to unseat Dingell allies who chair the panel’s subcommittees, and who will assume Waxman’s Oversight role.

But there’s more uncertainty than that. Some say it was the seniority system, not just Dingell, under attack.

And the old rules, like Dingell, will play more of a ceremonial rule in the future.

“It’s a reed in the wind that there are other forces working the system,” said Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), who lost her leadership race last month against Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) for vice chairman of the Democratic Caucus. “The seniority system is a neutral method of promotion, as opposed to [raising] money, which is becoming increasingly important.”

Democrats are embracing at least some aspects of how House Republicans promoted from within when they controlled the chamber from 1995 to 2006. Fundraising, loyalty to leadership and voting records were major factors in the selection of committee chairmen and deciding who would fill coveted seats on “A” committees.

Seniority was a major factor for the GOP, but not the dominant determinant.

Moreover, the six-year limit for committee chairmen that Pelosi has embraced was implemented by Republicans when they were in the majority.

For worried Democratic centrists, the unlikely source of salvation is Obama, derided in the campaign as the most liberal member of the Senate, who sounds more conservative with each new Cabinet appointment.

“While people are disappointed, what’s coming out of the top office in the land is good news,” said an aide to a top centrist lawmaker. Obama has also embraced pay-go principles, delighting Blue Dogs.

Some aides say what tension there is stems from the Democrats’ figuring out how to act as a majority party that controls all levers of lawmaking and policy in the federal government. It was one thing to defy a Speaker. It will be another to defy a president. And Pelosi and Obama were generally on the same page throughout the 2008 campaign season.

“It’s adjusting to a Democrat, and a Democrat with a mandate, in the White House,” said a Democratic leadership aide. “When Obama walks in to the Blue Dogs and says, ‘I need your support for getting out of Iraq in 16 months,’ it gets tough to say no.”

Wild Thing's comment..........

Pelosi is headed for creating the largest deficit in the history of the USA at over $1 trillion dollars for fiscal 2009! The US Constitution is very clear that only the House of Representatives can appropriate money. This deficit is Pelosi's deficit.

LOL well one thing, I think we will be seeing some fighting going on in the next 4 years. Dems don't like anyone, they don't like each other either. Each oneo is way too hungry for power to sincerely care for another person.

Democrat and Secret Ballots In Lieberman Vote

Secret Ballots, Blatant Irony (Senate Dems to use secret ballot for Lieberman's fate!)

The Corner

Senator Says Secret-Ballot in Private Meeting to Determine Whether Democrats Punish Lieberman

Senate Democrats will vote by secret ballot on Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman ’s fate this week, according to North Dakota Sen. Byron L. Dorgan .

The caucus is due to meet Tuesday to decide whether Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent from Connecticut, should be punished for his aggressive support of Sen. John McCain , R-Ariz., for president.

And this..........

Obama has informed party officials that he wants Joe Lieberman to continue caucusing with the Democrats in the 111th Congress.

Obama's decision could tie the hands of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has been negotiating to remove Lieberman as chair of the Homeland Security and Government Reform committee while keeping him within the caucus. Lieberman has insisted that he will split from the Democrats if his homeland security position is stripped.

Aides to the president-elect did not return requests for comment. Senate officials were unclear whether Obama would be comfortable with Lieberman maintaining his current committee post.

Fellow Connecticut Senate Chris Dodd, who has spoken out in favor of Lieberman remaining in the party, explained as much to reporters on Friday:

"What does Barack Obama want?... He's talked about reconciliation, healing, bringing people together. I don't think he'd necessarily want to spend the first month of this president-elect period, this transition period, talking about a Senate seat, particularly if someone is willing to come forward and is willing to be a member of your family in the caucus in that sense."

A Democrat close to Lieberman, meanwhile, said he thought that keeping Lieberman in the fold "would be a good move for Obama as a way to make real his promise of new politics, a less partisan Washington and more unity. He would do so at some risk. Obviously there is a liberal wing of the party that wants Joe punished... "

Wild Thing's comment........

I doubt many will vote against Lieberman, they want 60 bodies in thier count so I would think they will give him a pass for his support of McCain.

Newsvine

Presidential candidate for the Green Party, Cynthia McKinney announced for the first time on Sunday that she has received information that some 5000, mostly male, possibly prisoners were killed execution style, by single gunshot to the head, using the tragic events of hurricane Katrina as a cover.

Candidate McKinney made the announcement at a conference in Oakland, Ca, for the Critical Resistance 10 on Sunday. While speaking she informed the audience that she has received information from a sources that were involved in the clean-up and disposal of the thousands of bodies. According to the source; who wishes to remain nameless at this time, he was charged by the Department of Defense with the task of processing the personal information into DOD computers and then dumping the bodies into a Louisiana swamp. McKinney also claims she has spoken to unnamed members of the Red Cross that this event did in fact take place.

House, Senate Democrats Derail Package of Tax Cuts

House, Senate Democrats derail package of tax cuts

http://www.alceehastings.house.gov/

A blowup between the Senate and conservative House Democrats has derailed a package of tax cuts, including tax incentives for renewable-energy production, which Democratic leaders hoped to count as a major accomplishment.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) bluntly told Democratic Senate leaders to show some backbone and stand up to Republicans who oppose the House version of the tax package, which includes offsets.

“We’ve been willing to compromise on everything, but not on fiscal sanity. That is why we ask Senate Democrats to stand up to the Republican minority,” said Hoyer.

But Senate Democrats fired back at their Democratic colleagues in the House, accusing them of taking too adamant a stance in the face of overwhelming opposition.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pleaded with House Democrats to understand his difficult position: a slim majority, procedural rules that empower minority opposition, and the regular absence of three members of his caucus.

“I do not have the strength and the power — legislatively, procedurally — that they have in the House,” said Reid on the chamber floor.

“My majority is extremely slim, 51-49, when everybody is here,” he said. “I just beg my House colleagues to understand, this isn’t something that we are trying to surprise them with.”

House Democrats, led by Hoyer and members of the conservative Blue Dog Coalition, flatly rejected a Senate package that included energy tax relief extensions, business tax relief extensions and an extension of Alternative Minimum Tax relief.

Senate negotiators combined those tax breaks with disaster relief, mental health parity legislation and a bill to help rural schools.

The unexpected hard-line stance taken by House Democrats caught their Senate counterparts by surprise. Most painfully for Democratic leaders, the flare-up threatens renewable-energy tax breaks, which they hoped to count as a significant achievement of the 110th Congress.

“It’s unthinkable to leave town without renewing the tax extenders for renewable energy,” said Sen. Byron Dorgan (N.D.), chairman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee.

A Democratic lobbyist said leaders had hoped their candidates would be able to tout the renewable-energy tax breaks on the campaign trail.

“They want to go home and campaign on that,” said the lobbyist.

A victory on taxes would have helped offset the loss they suffered on offshore drilling.

Congressional leaders this weekend sent to President Bush a $630 billion stopgap spending measure that lifted the congressional moratorium on offshore drilling.

Conservative Democrats balked at the Senate-crafted package because it failed to offset the cost of many of the tax-relief extensions, said a senior Democratic aide. The Senate bill would cost $107 billion over 10 years.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, said House Democrats should accept the Senate package because it passed by an overwhelming vote in the upper chamber and Bush has promised to sign it. He noted that Bush has vowed to veto the House alternative package.

House Democrats wanted to help pay for the proposals in their package by closing what they call tax “loopholes” for hedge fund managers.

“That’s why we ask Senate Democrats to stand firm against the Republicans insisting on the principle that we must finance tax cuts with debt,” Hoyer said.

The derailment of the tax package also threatens to subject tens of millions of Americans to higher Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) rates next year, a scary political scenario for many Democrats who represent higher-income areas of the nation, such as the Northeast, that would be the hardest-hit.

Sen. Jon Kyl (Ariz.), the Republican whip, told The Hill that Republicans would not support AMT relief legislation if it were separated from the larger package.

Senate Republicans have refused to consider any alternative to the carefully negotiated package of tax cuts that it sent to the House early Monday.

Reid told his House counterparts that, otherwise, he would accept their proposal to break the tax package up into smaller pieces.

“If it were up to me, I would accept this in a second,” said Reid.

But House Democrats are getting sick of the Senate’s hardball tactics.

Citing an attempt earlier in the 110th Congress to force House Democrats to accept a Senate-drafted surveillance bill without changes, Hoyer said his colleagues are not going to let themselves be jammed again.

“We’ve seen it before. Some of you remember FISA — the message was the same, ” said Hoyer, in reference to an overhaul of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. “Legislation by blunt force is not the way, as I said, we ought to proceed.”

Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said that House Democrats may be more open to compromise in the wake of the defeat of a $700 billion Wall Street bailout package, which sent the stock market plummeting more than 700 points.

Economic experts warn that millions of Americans could lose their jobs if a rescue plan doesn’t pass.

Baucus predicted that House Democrats would be more amenable when faced with the prospect of letting tax breaks expire while the nation’s economy teeters on the brink of recession.

“There are more dynamics in play now,” he said, speaking of how the bailout would affect negotiations on tax cuts. “Things are related.”

Wild Thing's comment...........

Cannot quit laughing — The Dem Majority wants them to stand up to the Minority. What am I missing here?

The Blue Dogs are panicked... they're worried about the election. They just helped to shoot down the socialist bailout.

I thought Obama was uniting the libs. They can’t even stand each other. Wow, a bill without any money for a new highway? That might be a first. LOL

You got to laugh. Laugh or go insane. I choose laughter.

Republicans just need to run ads highlighting their experiment with the Democrat Majority has failed miserably and provide the examples.

Americans who earned what they have, are tired of poor decisions by people who default on their mortgages and by the poor decisions made by businesses that lent them the money and we want to save the country from socialism

Typical Race-baiting Perp Jailbird and Impeched Rep.Alcee Hastings and Anti-American

Florida congressman points to Palin to rally Jews to Obama

Rep. Alcee Hastings denounced hunters and gun owners as racists and anti-Semites, and by implication beer-swilling NASCAR-watching pickup-truck-driving redneck white trash. This is consistent with Obama's own description of Pennsylvanians as "bitter" small down people who "cling to guns and religion," and the common reference to working people as "white trash" on Obama's own Web site.

Rep. Alcee Hastings told an audience of Jewish Democrats Wednesday that they should be wary of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin because “anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.”

Rep. Alcee Hastings told an audience of Jewish Democrats Wednesday that they should be wary of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin because “anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.”

“If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention,” Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida said at a panel about the shared agenda of Jewish and African-American Democrats Wednesday. Hastings, who is African-American, was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race. “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through,” Hastings added as the room erupted in laughter and applause.

After telling attendees that the most important thing Jewish and African-American Democrats could do to support one another was to get Sen. Barack Obama elected president, Hastings had one more message: “For those of you like me that supported Sen. Hillary Clinton, she lost! Get over it!”

Alcee Hastings Impeached Federal Judge

Congressional Rep. Alcee Hastings was a federal Judge.

In 1989 Democratic Rep. John Conyers served as the chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee that investigated Hastings who was charged with taking bribes.

Conyers and the subcommittee unanimously recommended that Hastings be impeached. The charges were heard by the House and they voted 413 to 3 to impeach Hastings.

Conyers went on to serve as one of the House impeachment managers who successfully argued before the Senate that Hastings should be convicted and removed from office.

Hastings was stripped of his position as a federal judge for conspiring to extort a $150,000 bribe in a case before him, repeatedly lying about it under oath and manufacturing evidence at his trial.

In 1992 Hastings was then elected to serve in the same Congress that impeached him.

In 1999 he made a run for Governor but didn't get very far.

Wild Thing's comment........

OOPS on Hastings...... He must have forgot.........Joe Biden having stated he owns at least two shotguns for Hunting is a RACIST and ANTI-SEMITE???

LMAO this guy is nuts and soooo filled with hate it just oozes out of his ugly ass face. Hey Hastings you are such a GREAT example of the kind of low life that supports B. Hussein Obama.

Democrats Are To Blame For This Mess

This video from Fox news just came out yesterday, and it is an EXCELLENT report on the origins of this mess.

This is a Democrat-made mess.
by Rush Limbaugh

The headline in the New York Times today: "McCain's Aide's Firm was Paid by Freddie Mac -- One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain's campaign manager," Rick Davis.

The McCain people are livid. They have put out a response on their website that refutes all of this.

This is not even bias. This is propaganda. It is false, it is provably false, and what it ignores is that Obama -- and they don't even mention it! -- Obama received $109,000 from Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, one of the two. In just two and a half years in the Senate. It took Chris Dodd about nine years to accrue $120,000 from Fannie Mae. Obama did it in less than two years. How the hell does that happen? What the story also does not mention, ladies and gentlemen, is that it was John McCain who authored and cosponsored legislation to make stricter regulation oversight of both of these things, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, going back to '05 and to '06.

McCain is the one guy -- a lot of Republicans, the president, a lot of Republicans -- who came in and said, "You guys are out of control in there and this is going to lead to a major problem," tried to set up new regulations. The Democrats blocked it at every turn. I'm at a loss to explain this, other than to describe it as simply the New York Times as willingly, openly, and in-front-of-the-world decided to become an official arm of the Obama campaign. This is an unpaid ad is what this is. This is an unpaid campaign ad filled with propaganda that is designed to destroy McCain.

Guess what, folks. Paul Begala was also a consultant here. Not a lobbyist, he was a consultant here.

He was a paid consultant to Freddie Mac until this month, and who is Begala for in this whole race? Look it, the bottom line in this damn thing is this. It was constructed and run by Democrats. It is filth. It is raw sewage sulking around in there, and it's of their making, and it has presented a crisis to the US economy, and it was all based on liberalism. Liberal, socialist ideas created Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and then raped them and distorted their original purpose, when the Democrats turned this thing into nothing more than a personal piggy bank for each other and their party.

How Democrat Thieves Looted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

by Rush Limbaugh

Now, let's review a little history here. Long before the subprime crisis, the Bush administration not only warned of impending calamity, they had a plan to avert it. Fannie Mae, under the leadership of Clinton appointee Franklin Raines, who's now an Obama insider, economic advisor, and Freddie Mac, had issued over one-and-a-half trillion dollars in loans, but their accounting was in shambles. The agency that Congress set up to monitor them had failed to rein 'em in, so on September 11, 2003 -- this is five years ago -- President Bush proposed the agency that Congress set up to monitor them. He proposed what the New York Times called the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis. The New York Times called it that. Central to Bush's proposal was creating a new agency to oversee Fannie and Freddie.

Franklin Raines, a hundred million dollars over I think seven years working at Fannie Mae while running it into the ground. He was also OMB director working for Clinton, making his usual $150,000 a year. That's chump change. These people go to Washington, and they siphon stuff. all of these programs are fraudulent. How many congressmen have we heard about, these stories, they arrive with nothing and they leave with a net worth of millions. There's only one way this can happen, and that is deals with contributors, lobbyists. So it's the largest stash of money that's just waiting to be taken in the form of legitimate grants, commissions, personal fees for what have you. It's just waiting there to be grabbed. And guess where liberals gravitate? Washington, DC. You know, we conservatives look at Washington as someplace we want to be smaller. We don't target our lives to take control of government. We target our lives to try to limit its size and influence. Liberals, government is God, government is religion, government is their nirvana. They seek jobs there for the purpose of infesting the place with each other in lifetime-appointed positions so as to forever control as much of life in this country as possible, and when they can, grab a little from the till. And they do it.

Even though Bush proposed a new oversight committee, the Democrats said no way. They cried foul. Barney Frank said these two entities, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, they're not facing any kind of financial crisis.

Barney Frank, "They're not facing any kind of financial crisis." Melvin Watt, Democrat, North Carolina, he agreed. He accused Bush of wanting this oversight committee so he could weaken the bargaining power of poorer families

So this was nothing more than Barack Obama-type cynicism and racism, Melvin Watt accusing Bush of weakening the bargaining power of poor families. So, Democrats did not pay any attention to any of the problems going on, they looked the other way. In fact they made the problems even worse by extending loans to people in greater numbers who couldn't pay them back. So, instead of solving the problem, Democrat insiders kept using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as personal piggy banks, Clinton-era policies fueled the giveaway that is now in the famous words of Jeremiah Wright, coming home to roost. Democrats fought every effort, every reform, and now they're rewriting history. It's just a sitting duck. It's just a sitting duck issue.

Next we have Daniel Mudd, 2005 on Capitol Hill, Fannie Mae, Interim CEO.

From an old Tape on Mudd ....this is his interim swearing-in ceremony, Daniel Mudd. He's phrasing the Congressional Black Caucus for helping save Fannie Mae.

MUDD: I am humbled to come here today to reaffirm the friendship and the partnership between Fannie Mae and the Congressional Black Caucus. Fannie Mae is determined to keep tearing down the barriers to deliver on the American dream and that means we need to work together with the CBC.

Rush: He's phrasing the Congressional Black Caucus for helping save Fannie Mae. This is all about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, out of control. They had a regulatory agency looking over their shoulder, they had no authority, they were in trouble starting all the way back in 1997.

I know Obama's running around blaming Bush and the Republicans and so forth, which is typical, but this is a sitting duck issue for McCain and Palin to blame the real culprits here, and that is Democrats in Congress.

I'm telling you when it comes to this stuff, whether it's Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath, I don't care whatever problem you talk about, all roads lead to Congress, in this case the Democrat Congress back in the nineties. Congress writes the laws. Congress sets up the way these government-run institutions, even with so-called private sector involvement, are going to operate. And then when the excrement hits the fan, guess who gets to act like they were clueless and had no idea what was going on and they get to investigate? The very people who messed it up, set it up in the first place. The very people who create the problem then investigate it as though they were innocent bystanders and spectators and then they give themselves even more control of the mess they made ostensibly out of benevolence to fix it. And remember all this chatter during campaign finance reform that money in the electoral process was corrupting good people, and I never thought that was the case.

I never thought that our electoral system and campaign contributions and donations was corrupting in and of itself, but I'll tell you, that large stash of money sitting around waiting to be looted by people in Washington, various degrees of power, I am telling you there is a level of corruption in that town with people thinking that all money is theirs, what you end up with is what they decide you should have. They do not realize that that big pile of money is produced by one thing, the collective work and productivity of the American people. If the American people didn't work and produce and weren't paying confiscatory taxes, that big pile of money wouldn't be there. These people create nothing; they produce nothing. They gum up the private sector, they clog it you with all kinds of things, then they act like they had nothing to do with it, then they come in and fix it and appoint themselves an oversight role that gives them even more power over the so-called fixed situation.

The point is, this problem started back in the nineties with the Clintons demanding the end of redlining. That's really where this starts, the end of redlining. Redlining was a bogus charge that lending institutions would look at the race of the applicant and just refuse on the basis of race, not on the basis of anything else, it was racist, redlining was racist, and I don't doubt that it happened in some cases. So the fix for it, always an overstep, it's always an overreach. So to extend the American dream to everybody, they said, "Get rid of redlining and loan money to people that can't pay it back. That's the way we're going to fix it." It's sort of like affirmative action.

We lent more money to people that can't pay it back than any company in history. And that money is now gone! And, by the way, we're not a company; we are a government-run outfit. This whole notion that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac are private sector things with little government ownership, you can't have any government ownership in a private sector entity and still call it private sector.

So here this guy, MUDD, is, he's showing up, this is after Frank Raines, all this corruption, this is 2005, and this guy shows up and he falls on the sword for the Congressional Black Caucus, you're our hope, you're our dream, you are the people who kept us together and this and that, you are our family. I humbly ask you to help us and to help me. Now, what the hell does this tell you that the root of the problem is?

More of what MUDD said is played by Rush with Rush interjecting throughout the playing of the audio tape:

MUDD: We will work hard inside our company to resolve the serious matters before us, to put our house in order, and to forge a new future.

RUSH: That really worked.

MUDD: And all the while, you will see Fannie Mae reaching out and listening to the caucus.

RUSH: Yeah.

MUDD: Over a century of endeavor you have earned the reputation as the conscience of Congress.

RUSH: Don't make me gag.

MUDD: In many ways, I want to tell you today you're also the conscience of Fannie Mae.

RUSH: Well, now we know.

MUDD: -- keep us on course to serve those who need serving the most.

RUSH: There you have it, all roads lead to Congress. I mean I have never heard somebody kiss ass in public like this in my life. I mean I may have. I just don't remember it. But I mean this guy, is he still around, or is he sick with anal poisoning? Daniel Mudd, anybody seen Daniel Mudd lately? This, ladies and gentlemen, identifies the el problemo, for those of you in Nevada, Florida, Colorado, and Nebraska listening to Obama ads.

RUSH: By the way, we found out where Daniel Mudd, by the way, he's Roger Mudd's son, of CBS fame. This is Braden Keil at the New York Post from just three days ago. "As more than a million US homeowners face devastating mortgage foreclosures, ousted Fannie Mae CEO Daniel Mudd continues to live in an opulent Washington, DC, mansion replete with expansive gardens, servants' quarters and a home theater. Mudd, whose former company," Fannie Mae, don't call this a company "is being bailed out by billions in taxpayer dollars, calls home a 22-room Colonial mansion on Newark Street in tony Cleveland Park, built on the former property of President Grover Cleveland. The eight-bedroom, eight-bath pad includes large public rooms with fireplaces, a home theater, a gym, a wine cellar, a solarium, servants' quarters, a terrace off the master-bedroom suite, and a gourmet kitchen. The gated, landscaped property also features a pool, fountains, gardens and a guesthouse.

"The property is so lavish that some company employees dubbed it 'Mudd Manor.' And they're furious that the executive at the helm of the ship as it sank into profound crisis has surfaced relatively unscathed, at least for now. 'Hey, he lost his limo and corner suite [at the office], but Mudd Manor is not a bad place to contemplate your next move,' said a bitter Fannie Mae employee who requested anonymity. 'Most Fannie Mae employees are reeling from their employee stock-option-plan account balances' going to cents on the dollar.' Mudd, the son of former newsman Roger Mudd and descendent of Dr. Samuel Mudd, who treated Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, did not return calls for comment." Now, by the way, something else you need to know here. "Under the terms of his employment contract, Daniel Mudd," who you just heard bowing down and kissing the rear of the Congressional Black Caucus in 2005, "Under the terms of his employment contract, Mudd could collect $9.3 million in severance pay, retirement benefits and compensation, as long as his dismissal was 'without cause.' His salary last year was $900,000, although in a radio interview last month, he didn't deny reports that he raked in a total of $43 million in stock options, bonuses and overall compensation through the years."

So you add this to Franklin Raines' 100 million and Jim Johnson, what he ever got out of it, and Jamie Gorelick's part of the group that got $75 million out of Fannie Mae, and you see precisely what this was. It was indeed a Democrat Party piggy bank disguised as a lending agency for people who couldn't afford anything. Now, the piece de resistance. "Democratic Sens. Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and Jack Reed have written to Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to object to golden parachutes for Mudd and ousted Freddie Mac Chairman Richard Syron, saying it would be 'a gross violation of the public trust.'" Yeah, they had to do that. Obama already got his money out of there in the form of campaign contributions and so forth.

Wild Thing's comment..........

I realize this is a LONG post and I am so sorry, but this is so important to get these facts. Rush has links at his site to back up everything he said and played on this show.

Enough of the lies from the left blaming Bush, McCain and what the heck Palin. This above is from facts, the in your face to the democrats facts that we should know about.

What is the difference in Democrats and terrorists? The terrorists want us dead. They both want to destroy our country, they both have an agenda to take over our country, they both lie, and they BOTH destroy everything they are involved with. Like the way the terrorists destroyed the beauty and wonderful farms the Israeli's kept in Gaza, the terrorists went in and burned and destroyed them.....and this was AFTER Gaza was handed over to the evil terrorists!!!!

The same thing with the democrats they get into our politics and destroy commerce, busiiness ( small and large), want to tax we the citizens to death, lie, cheat and steal. Are the most corrupt of both parties and are the enemy within our country. They keep us from drilling where we should and could be for oil that we have in abundance. They could care less if their own voters are paying big money for gas and with winter coming.

Regarding the military both democrats and terrorists are on the same side imo. I am speaking of the democrats of today and for the last 50 years.

They mess up and then blame those that kept warning that things were going wrong and needed to be fixed. Well I am sick of it!!!!!!

Democrat Charles Rangel Insults ALL Disabled People

The Democratic Party is beneath contempt.

Charles Rangel in his sick attempt to insult Gov. Sarah Palin by saying she is disabled has not only insulted Palin but he has insulted every single disabled person!!!!!!

And also by saying this, he has insulted one of their own Franklin D. Roosevelt. He is too stupid to even realize that.

And this will be yet another of the left that will get away with this. That makes all of this even worse that there is such a horrible double standard and too few speak up and tell him off.....to his UGLY face.

Rangel should be removed from any position of power and run out of Congress. Then he should be prosecuted for tax evasion.

Rangel is the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, but he has gone into default on his taxes. Of course, the Dems are being hypocritical and allowing him to keep his spot. Jay Leno makes fun of his inability to understand the law he himself writes:

The cocky arrogance of the left rears it’s ugly head over and over. These people must be defeated November 4!!!

Sarah and precious Trig.

I cried when I heard what Rangel said, I know he said what he did because he and the rest of them are afraid of Sarah and what she believes in, that she is a conservative and they hate conservatives especially. But I still cried, just a little, I hate when people are so mean like that to innocent people, children and babies. By saying what he did he lumped everyone that is disabled into that statement. I sure hope this comes back to bite him in the rear big time.

On the other way of looking at it, the more they keep reacting this way to Sarah Palin the more it shows to the world what kind of people are on the left. We all knew it already, but it shows those that have had their head in the sand something they chose to ignore for a long time. The left is a disgrace to our country and do not love America at all. They can never convince me otherwise and all of this proves it.

‘Everybody’ Gets Credit for No New Terrorist Attacks Since 9/11, Says Pelosi

‘Everybody’ Gets Credit for No New Terrorist Attacks Since 9/11, Says Pelosi

CNSNews.com

You can see the VIDEO HERE...............

Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-Pa.) evaded the question, saying instead that the anniversary of 9/11 was a day of remembrance and “renewal.” Casey made his remarks following a congressional September Remembrance Ceremony held on the steps of the Capitol on Sept. 11, 2008. Pelosi spoke with CNSNews.com at a news conference that same day.

“Well, I think today is really a day to think about what happened on September 11th and what we’ve lived through since then,” said Casey. “It’s a day when we renew our commitment to our country.”

“I think there’s a basic commitment from both parties about keeping the country safe,” he said. “There’s a lot of consensus on keeping the country safe in the midst of some disagreements about how to get there.”

Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) said the threat of terrorism still exists. “Well, I think our whole apparatus of security in this country has improved from what it was but it is a false security,” she told CNSNews.com.

Pelosi said that “everybody” deserves credit for no attacks in the United States. “Well, I think everybody deserves credit for that – our first responders in local areas,” she said. “Some of the things that have been headed off have happened because of first responders or other law enforcement officials.”

She also said the war in Iraq has not made America safer.

“It has undermined our military’s capability to respond to threats to our security wherever they may occur,” she told CNSNews.com. “It has diminished our reputation in the world to have the diplomatic alliances to keep the world a safer place.”

"The War in Afghanistan has been intensified,” said Pelosi, adding that it is the “real war on terror.”

Wild Thing's comment...........

You just know my blood is boiling about this. Harry Reid and his press conference to announce how HE had stopped the Patriot Act that time. Pelosi, Murtha, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry and the rest of the low life fighting Bush and our Generals every step of the way. Holding back support for our troops, for funds and holding press conferences to tell the world how we are doing a terrible job in Iraq, how we lost and should come home.

What???? Everyone Nancy????? E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E ??

Did she drive a humvee down those streets in Iraq to check on IED's and see her fellow soldier get blown up right before her eyes? Did she ?

Did she know the feeling of her heart pounding out of her chest, holding her breath not sure if just on the other side of the doorway was an insurgent waiting to take out all his men and himself in the blink of an eye? Did she?

And then the feeling of being safe and winning that battle for the hour, not day, not week , by hour by hour, minute by minute. Has she known that feeling?

That fighting for freedom is a feeling like none other, something Pelosi will never have a clue about not the taste, smell or feel of it. But even worse she cannot put herself in the emotional place of a soldier how it feels to be fighting for his/her country and have those back home trashing all he does. Demanding ROE's that are so politically correct that mistakes can be made from being too concerned with the safety of the insurgent and what the media will say back home instead of doing what he was trained to do and is dam good at it.

She doesn't have to know any of this, there are many that don't. BUT they don't do and say things that put our troops in harms way like Pelosi and the rest of the dems have done with their aiding the enemy against us in their verbiage and actions.

Pelosi makes me sick with her taking credit and handing it out like candy at Halloween when she is part of who the enemy of our land is and very much part of the problem.

Like hell Pelosi! You and your terrorist supporting, support base have done everything possible to ensure another 9/11.

That this woman is two heartbeats away from the Oval Office is more frightening than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with his finger on the big red button - and tantamount to the same thing - the destruction of the America as we know it.

Rangel Being ( Maybe) Being Told To Step Down From Committee Chair

Pelosi Asks Rangel To Step Down From Committee Chair

New York Post

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi yesterday privately pushed Rep. Charlie Rangel to give up his chairmanship of the influential House tax-rules committee amid explosive revelations that his personal tax filings were riddled with errors and omissions, a wellplaced source said.

Rangel, the Democratic chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, has been resisting growing calls to step down from the high-profile leadership role since The Post reported the Harlem congressman failed to disclose rental income from his Dominican Republic beach home.

Rangel subsequently admitted owing at least $10,000 in back taxes and became a target of Republican political attacks.

One member of the New York congressional delegation who supported Pelosi's decision said, "You have to have one standard - you can't have one for [Republicans] and one for us."

Rangel himself remained mum on his sitdown with Pelosi after exiting a later, separate meeting with fellow Democratic committee members.

"I am unable to say anything," he said before bizarrely rattling off his name, rank and serial number from his Korean War days. "Do to me what you want, I'm not talking."

The 76-year-old politician smiled when asked if he was still chairman of the powerful tax panel.

Pelosi later denied through spokesperson Nadeam Elshami that she has asked Rangel to step aside.

And a committee member, Rep. Sander Levin (D-Mich.), asked if Rangel was still in charge, replied, "You're damn right he's the chairman."

But in an indication that Rangel may have to fight to keep his position, he scheduled an emergency meeting with the New York delegation today, a source said.

Meanwhile, Rangel was still using his leadership position as an inspirational tale for kids at Harlem's Democracy Prep Charter School yesterday.

"It was that education that took a 23-year-old high-school dropout to the Ways and Means Committee," he said.

Rangel's lawyer said the congressman would hire a forensic accountant to review his tax filings over the past 20 years.

He also may have to account for why he didn't properly disclose the sale of a Washington, DC, home in 2000, the various values he placed on his former Sunny Isles, Fla., condo, and the wild fluctuations he recorded for his personal investments.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Rangel stepping down? I'll believe it when I see it.

What crooks the dems are if even the NYSlimes points it out. And whatever happened to William Jefferson, D-Freezer, and his 90K graft money?

Culture of Corruption.

Most Ethical Congress in History.

Right, Queen Nancy?

And speaking of corruption I wonder when will Reid have the courage to fire Senator Dodd from the banking committee? He received sweetheart loans from banks over which he supposedly had oversight. He received hundreds of thousands in campaign donations—more than any other senator— from Fannie Mae and Fannie Mac. He needs to leave that committee. The corrupt son of a corrupt father.

Catholics Not Happy With Abortion Lover Pelosi

Bishops say Pelosi misrepresented abortion teaching in TV interview

Catholic News Servics

The chairmen of the U.S. bishops' pro-life and doctrine committees criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying she "misrepresented the history and nature of the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church on abortion" in a nationally televised interview Aug. 24.

Pelosi, D-Calif., who is Catholic, said in an appearance that day on NBC's "Meet the Press" that church leaders for centuries had not been able to agree on when life begins.

An Aug. 25 statement by Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia and Bishop William E. Lori of Bridgeport, Conn., said the church since the first century "has affirmed the moral evil of every abortion."

"The teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable," the statement said. "Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law."

Cardinal Rigali heads the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, while Bishop Lori chairs the USCCB Committee on Doctrine.

The statement recalled how in the Middle Ages "uninformed and inadequate theories" about the development of a child in a mother's womb led some theologians to suggest that human life capable of receiving an immortal soul may not exist until a few weeks into pregnancy.

"While in canon law these theories led to a distinction in penalties between very early and later abortions, the church's moral teaching never justified or permitted abortion at any stage of development," the church leaders said.

However, they added, scientists discovered more than 150 years ago that a new human life begins with the union of sperm and egg, making such a biological theory obsolete.

"In keeping with this modern understanding, the church teaches that from the time of conception (fertilization), each member of the human species must be given the full respect due to a human person, beginning with the respect for the fundamental right to life," Cardinal Rigali and Bishop Lori concluded.

The USCCB response came after Pelosi told interviewer Tom Brokaw "we don't know" when life begins.

"The point is, is that it shouldn't have an impact on the woman's right to choose," she said.

Citing the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, Pelosi said specific considerations must be undertaken during each trimester of a child's development before an abortion can be performed.

"This isn't about abortion on demand. It's about careful, careful consideration of all factors ... that a woman has to make with her doctor and her God," she told Brokaw. "And so I don't think anybody can tell you when life begins, human life begins. As I say, the Catholic Church for centuries has been discussing this."

She also said her goal is to make abortion safe and rare while reducing the number of abortions nationwide.

Other bishops weighed in after Pelosi's interview, reiterating the church's long-standing teaching on abortion.

Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl of Washington said that while he respected the right of public officials to address public policy issues "the interpretation of Catholic faith has rightfully been entrusted to the Catholic bishops."

Quoting from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the archbishop noted that the church has maintained its teaching on the "moral evil of every procured abortion" since the first century. "From the beginning, the Catholic Church has respected the dignity of all human life from the first moment of conception to natural death," he said.

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput and Auxiliary Bishop James D. Conley of Denver, where the Democratic National Convention is taking place Aug. 25-28, called Pelosi a "gifted public servant" but questioned her knowledge of Catholic teaching.

"Ardent, practicing Catholics will quickly learn from the historical record that from apostolic times the Christian tradition overwhelmingly held that abortion was grievously evil," the Denver bishops said. "In the absence of modern medical knowledge, some of the early fathers held that abortion was homicide; others that it was tantamount to homicide; and various scholars theorized about when and how the unborn child might be animated or 'ensouled.'

"But none diminished the unique evil of abortion as an attack on life itself and the early church closely associated abortion with infanticide. In short, from the beginning, the believing Christian community held that abortion was always gravely wrong."

The bishops called the "right to choose" an alibi that contradicts Christian and Catholic belief.

"The duty of the church and other religious communities is moral witness. The duty of the state and its officials is to serve the common good, which is always rooted in moral truth. A proper understanding of the 'separation of church and state' does not imply a separation of faith from political life. But, of course, it's always important to know what our faith actually teaches," they concluded.

Cardinal Edward M. Egan of New York said he was shocked to learn of Pelosi's comments, saying that her view on theologians and their positions on abortion was "not only misinformed" but "utterly incredible in this day and age."

He said evidence of the development of human life can be detected at an early age thanks to modern technology, and photographs and video have proven "the living realities within their pregnant mothers."

"No one with the slightest measure of integrity or honor could fail to know what these marvelous beings manifestly, clearly and obviously are, as they smile and wave into the world outside the womb," he said in an Aug. 26 statement. "In simplest terms, they are human beings with an inalienable right to live, a right that the speaker of the House of Representatives is bound to defend at all costs for the most basic of ethical reasons. They are not parts of their mothers, and what they are depends not at all upon the opinions of theologians of any kind."

And there is also this...........

Washington archbishop rips Pelosi on abortion

In a rare public rebuke of a top politician, the archbishop of Washington said Monday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was incorrect when she recently said the moment of conception has long been a matter of controversy within the Catholic Church.

Wuerl noted that Pelosi responded to a question on when life begins by mentioning she was Catholic.

“After Mr. Tom Brokaw, the interviewer, pointed out that the Catholic Church feels strongly that life begins at conception, she replied, 'I understand. And this is, like, maybe 50 years or something like that. So again, over the history of the church, this is an issue of controversy,' " the release said.

Wuerl strongly disagrees.

He said, "We respect the right of elected officials such as Speaker Pelosi to address matters of public policy that are before them, but the interpretation of Catholic faith has rightfully been entrusted to the Catholic bishops. Given this responsibility to teach, it is important to make this correction for the record."

Wuerl pointed out that the Catechism of the Catholic Church is clear, and has been clear for 2,000 years. He cited Catechism language that reads, "Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception … Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law.”

A Pelosi spokesman did not immediately comment for this article.

Wild Thing's comment...........

No one with the slightest measure of integrity or honor could fail to know what these marvelous beings manifestly, clearly and obviously are...

Obama and Nancy do not.

She didn't misrepresent ... she lied.

The list of bishops speaking out is growing, it is really getting long, too long to put all the various qoutes here. Pelosi is in trouble big time. LOL

I am not Catholic , I am a Christian but I don't belong to any church and even without being a Catholic, there is NO WAY Pelosi could be “confused” on what the Catholic Church teaches in regards to abortion. Pelosi should be ashamed of herself presuming to speak for the Catholic Church in order to give the appearance that it somehow agrees with her pro-abortion political views.

Also the last few days I have been reading that Catholics are not only upset with Pelois but also Obama on his love for abortion and Biden as well. With Obama's even more radical stance on Obama as if that was possible is sending the Catholics into a frenzy.

Character Counts But Not To Democrats and John Edwards

John Edwards, former Democratic presidential candidate, admits he had an extramarital affair while his wife, Elizabeth, was battling cancer.

The other woman is 42-year old Rielle Hunter, a novice filmmaker. She had a baby in February, but Edwards insists he is not the father.

The National Enquirer first reported the affair in October. At that time Edwards said the story was completely untrue and ridiculous. Now, he is admitting he had an affair.

"In 2006, I made a serious error in judgment and conducted myself in a way that was disloyal to my family and to my core beliefs," he said in a written statement. "I recognized my mistake and I told my wife that I had a liaison with another woman, and I asked for her forgiveness."

In an interview set to air Friday night on ABC's "Nightline," Edwards acknowledged the affair with 42-year-old Rielle Hunter, which began after she was hired to make documentary videos for his campaign, ABC said.

"You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself. I have been stripped bare and will now work with everything I have to help my family and others who need my help," he added in the statement. Read the full statement .

He said that he has not taken a paternity test but that the timing of the affair rules out the possibility that he could be her baby girl's father.

Andrew Young, a former Edwards campaign aide who is married, has publicly said he fathered the child. The Washington Post reported Friday that Hunter acknowledged Young as the father.

When the tabloid the National Enquirer first reported the affair in October, Edwards flatly denied it, calling the claims "false" and "ridiculous."

Wild Thing's comment..........

The not so breaking news of John Edwards having an affair with Rielle Hunter. There are two things happening with this. Edwards being a low life but also the media . The Media should be absolutely ashamed. They ignored this and tried to play it off as non-news, when if it were a Republican candidate, they’d be all over it.

OH we have all been hearing about it, from the gossip magainzes at the grocery store starring at us as we check out to some of the other blogs online discussing this. But not from MSM. Is it news worthy? It is only because he ran for President and did it AFTER he had this on going affair.

So does this mean he will now get to speak at the Rat convention along with Bill Clinton?

Help me out here:

He vehemently denied the affair before.

He now says that he did have an affair but a) the kid is not his and b) when he had the affair, his wife was in remission.

Now, he is visiting his former mistress in a hotel at 2am with someone else’s kid?

This day in history...

Russia and Georgia start a war

The Olympics begin

It’s a Friday afternoon in August

Edwards admits he’s a lying scumbag.

Obama should take note. Today’s the perfect day to admit he’s a marxist and forged his birth certificate.

Democrats Kill Ban on Terrorists in Schools

Democrats Kill Ban on Terrorists in Schools

'Citizens should be outraged lawmakers are playing political games with our safety'

The Philadelphia Inquirer

Majority Democrats in the California Assembly have rejected two amendments that would have allowed schools to fire any employee discovered to be part of an extremist terror network and require users of school facilities to affirm they are not terrorists.

England argued lawmakers are charged with the duty of defending their citizens from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

"Yet California Democrats placed their radical political agenda ahead of citizens' safety by refusing to prevent terrorists from teaching in our schools. Citizens should be outraged that these lawmakers are playing political games with our safety," she said.

The amendments from Garrick and DeVore "would have required any person or organization seeking use of public school property to sign a 'statement of information' declaring they do not advocate the overthrow of our government and are not part of an extremist terror network. Also, any school employee discovered to be part of an extremist terror network could be fired."

The amendments came as part of discussion on SB 1322, a bill that "will allow communists to teach in public schools and use government property for their meetings," Capital Resource said.

The traditional values advocacy organization said it has opposed the measure "as we recognize the inherent danger in allowing communists – those who seek the violent overthrow of our democratic republic – access to the impressionable minds of young students."

Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for CRFI, said

"It really is shocking that at a time when America is still subject to attacks from radical terrorists and communist governments still terrorize their citizens, California Democrats won't stand up for us. We have brave soldiers putting their lives on the line every day to defend us from such tyranny, but Democrats will not cast a simple vote to do the same here in California. Democrats are quick to side with the latest political cause championing the rights of the oppressed. With their votes today, Democrats have missed their opportunity to make a statement denouncing oppressive communist governments responsible for the misery and suffering of so many worldwide."

A report from Karen England at the Capital Resource Institute said the amendments were submitted by assemblymen Martin Garrick and Chuck DeVore to a plan that also would allow members of the Communist Party to teach in public schools.

"I am appalled that Democrat lawmakers will not agree to these commonsense amendments," said England, executive director of CRFI. "My son is currently serving in Iraq to defend our state and nation from terrorists, yet Democrats will not do their part on the homefront to also defend us from such extremists."

Wild Thing's comment............

There really is no doubt on who America's internal enemies really are --- and the clear and present danger they represent. These liberal lawmakers become more despicable every day.

These are the same lawmakers, who tried to ban day care centers, church schools, church baby sitter centers and schools from running criminal background checks to see if the applicants had jail records or were predators.

America Hater 9% Nancy Pelosi Calls Bush 'a total failure'

US Congress leader Pelosi calls Bush 'a total failure'

yahoo

US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday called President George W. Bush "a total failure" who "has no ideas," in an interview with CNN.

Responding to stinging criticism from Bush on the Democratic leadership in both houses of Congress and the slow pace of the legislative agenda, as Congress prepares for its one-month summer recess in August, Pelosi let loose:

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, the president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject."

Pelosi, 68, said the House and Senate were busy "trying to sweep up after (Bush's) mess over and over and over again ... The president knows it. He needs something to talk about. Because he has no ideas."

The speaker was especially critical of Bush's proposal to lift a ban on offshore oil drilling as a means to ease the current fuel price crisis, calling it a ploy to draw attention away from his failures.

"We have seven and a half years of failed energy policy by the Bush administration. We have a faltering, downturning economy. The president needs a decoy.

"So he's going out there, he even has the nerve to say the economy would be better off if we could drill in protected areas offshore," she said, adding the Democrats' proposal to free up the US strategic petroleum reserve, which she said is 91.5 percent full.

"And we're saying let's take 10 percent of that ... and use that to put on the market so that we increase supply, reduce prices, and when the price comes down, we can buy back the oil at a lower price."

Wild Thing's comment........

The phrase 'bless his heart', can be used to insulate a person from whatever ugly thing they want to say about a person.

She is a traitor first, a total failure second!! What a total waste of air Pelosi is and Reid too, heck all of the democrats are! The Do Nothing Congress is ready to take its annual vacation despite not having addressed the problem of soaring gas prices.

Such disgraceful behavior from the “speaker of the house”. There are partisan divides in this country, but to Nancy, Bush is the enemy and AQ is her friend.

She still refuses to acknowledge the success in Iraq.

Her rating numbers are in the pits, and she blames that on President Bush. She ought to be tarred and feathered and dumped over Syria.

The numbers speak for themselves:

Congress approval rating - 9%

President Bush - 28%

OK I know this is popular with a lot of women but I am against it. Botox! When the time comes that I do start to get wrinkles I will own them, and just be glad I am alive and don't have that stuff in my body. I read someplace that Botox can and does find it's way into the nerve system in the brain. Injecting a product of botulism into your skin just because of a few wrinkles??? It is so much more important what the person is on the inside, their character and if they are a good person or not etc.

I seriously believe she should be medically examined to find out if this has happened - for her sake and the nation's. But mostly for our sake. I think she is nuts!

The possibility that a House Leader can be suffering from poison induced insanity (not that she wasn't already insane) should be a big deal. If she is nuts can't we get her removed or something. LOL

Harry Reid Goes Apoplectic On Mitch McConnell

Leader Losing It

NRO

There was a remarkable exchange on the floor of the Senate between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. It offers pretty stunning evidence of how personally petty Reid is, as well as his penchant for defining “partisanship” as anything that keeps him from getting his way.

The particulars here aren’t terribly important, but what happened was this: The Senate was voting on a Medicare bill bloated with new spending. The bill was also an attempt to prevent cuts in payment rates to doctors who treat seniors on Medicare, and Democrats wanted to pay for that by taking the funds from Medicare Advantage, a private fee-for-service plan. The president would likely have vetoed the bill in its current form and Senate Republicans opposed the gutting of Medicare Advantage, so Senate Republicans blocked the bill. The trouble is that if the Senate doesn’t resolve the issue very soon, doctors will stop receiving Medicare funds. So Republicans proposed a 30-day extension to allow more time to hammer out a compromise. Democrats blocked the proposed extension. The impasse here caused Reid to go apoplectic on Mitch McConnell.

SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): “I have said we are all here by virtue of being elected by our respective States. I had out here earlier today our Velcro chart, 79 filibusters. Is it any wonder that the House seats that came up during the off year — Hastert’s went Republican, a Republican district that went Democratic; a seat in Louisiana that was a longtime Republican seat went Democratic. Is it any wonder that the State of Mississippi sent us a Democratic House Member? It is no wonder because they see what is going on over here. . . . Mr. President, I am sure it was a Freudian slip — 59 Democrats voted for this. But next year at this time, there will be 59 Democrats at least.” (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.6233, 06/26/08)

SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY): Here we are a few days before the doctors receive this unconscionable cut, and the majority is saying it is more important to play politics with this issue, to brag about the fact there are 59 Democrats who voted to go forward, to talk, of all things, during the Medicare debate about who won special elections for the House of Representatives in Illinois, Mississippi, or Louisiana. What in the world does that have to do with the subject matter?

The subject matter before us is not playing political games. . . . And the reality is that the refusal of the majority to approach this issue on a bipartisan basis, as has been typically done in the past, will lead to a Presidential veto, a reduction in the reimbursement rates for doctors, an expiration at the end of the week. There is a way forward to get back together like we have typically done on this, and that is to approve a 30-day extension.

SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): “A veto by the President? Gee whiz, who would be afraid of him? He has a 29-percent approval rating. How in the world could anybody be afraid of him vetoing a bill? I cannot imagine why anyone would care about that. . . . I say to my friend and I say I don’t know how many people are up here for reelection, but I am watching a few of them pretty closely, I say to all these people who are up for reelection: If you think you can go home and say, I voted no because this weak President, the weakest political standing since they have done polling, I voted because I was afraid to override his veto — come on.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ridicules the idea of a veto of a Medicare payment bill from President Bush and then threatens Republicans who won't vote with him. Here is a YouTube video of part of the exchange ......

As for his sniffing about being afraid of Bush’s low 29-percent approval rating, Reid would do well to remember that Congress’s approval rating is currently 18.5 percent. Reid’s personal approval rating back in Nevada is 43 percent and has been as low as 32 percent, late last year.

Wild Thing's comment............

Reid is a power hungry traitor. McConnell is trying to get him on track, and Reid continues to play politics even after he’d been called out — injecting irrelevant comments about the president’s approval rating and other obvious jabs that have nothing to do with the matter at hand. Little weasel.

I just checked on http://www.usaelectionpolls.com and Congress has a 10 percent favorable approval rating.

A Girly Man Named Chris Satullo Hates America!

Chris Satullo: A not-so-glorious Fourth

U.S. atrocities are unworthy of our heritage.

Put the fireworks in storage.

Cancel the parade.

Tuck the soaring speeches in a drawer for another time.

This year, America doesn't deserve to celebrate its birthday. This Fourth of July should be a day of quiet and atonement.

For we have sinned.

We have failed to pay attention. We've settled for lame excuses. We've spit on the memory of those who did that brave, brave thing in Philadelphia 232 years ago.

The America those men founded should never torture a prisoner.

The America they founded should never imprison people for years without charge or hearing.

The America they founded should never ship prisoners to foreign lands, knowing their new jailers might torture them.

Such abuses once were committed by the arrogant crowns of Europe, spawning rebellion.

Today, our nation does such things in the name of our safety. Petrified, unwilling to take the risks that love of liberty demands, we close our eyes.

We have done such things, on orders from the Oval Office. We have done them, without general outrage or shame.

Abu Ghraib. Guantanamo. CIA secret prisons. "Rendition" of prisoners to foreign torture chambers.

It's not enough that we had good reason to be scared.

The men huddled long ago in Philadelphia had better reason. A British fleet floated off the Jersey coast, full of hands eager to hang them from the nearest lampposts.

Yet they pledged their lives and sacred honor - no idle vow - to defend the "inalienable rights" of men. Inalienable - what does that signify? It means rights that belong to each person, simply by virtue of being human. Rights that can never be taken away, no matter what evil a person might do or might intend.

Surely one of those is the right not to be tortured. Surely that is a piece of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

This is the creed of July 4: No matter what it costs us, no matter how it scares us, no matter how foolish it seems to a cynical world, America should stand up for human rights.

No, not even the brave men who picked up a quill, dipped it in ink and signed the parchment that summer day in Philadelphia lived up perfectly to the creed. But they did something extraordinary, founding a new nation upon a vow to oppose all the evil habits of tyranny.

That is why history still honors them.

But what will history think of us, of how we responded to our great challenge? Sept. 11 was a hideous evil, a grievous wound. Yet, truth told, it has not summoned our better angels as often as our worst.

We have betrayed the July 4 creed. We trample the vows we make, hand to heart.

Don't imagine that only the torturer's hand bears the guilt. The guilt reaches deep inside our Capitol, and beyond that - to us.

Our silence is complicit. In our name, innocents were jailed, humans tortured, our Constitution mangled. And we said so little.

We can't claim not to have known. The best among us raised the alarm. Heroes in uniform, judges in robes, they opposed the perverse logic of an administration drenched in fear, drunk on power.

But did we heed them? Hardly. Barely . . .

We were so busy. Soccer practice at 6. A credit card balance to fret. The final vote on Idol.

We left it to those in power to keep our precious selves from harm. Whatever it took.

We took the coward's way.

The world sees this, even if we are too dim to grasp it. We've lost respect. We've shamed the memory of Jefferson, Adams and Franklin.

And all for a scam. The waterboarding, the snarling dogs, the theft of sleep - all the diabolical tricks haven't made us safer. They may have averted this plot or that. But they've spawned new enemies by the thousands, made the jihadist rants ring true to so many ears.

So put out no flags.

Sing no patriotic hymns.

We deserve no Fourth this year.

Let us atone, in quiet and humility. Let us spend the day truly studying the example of our Founders. May we earn a new birth of courage before our nation's birthday next rolls around.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Ever notice the hate America crowd always come out from under their rocks close to the Holidays like July 4th?

Subhumnas like this Chris just love to trot out the founders corpses when it suits your needs, otherwise all I ever hear from libs like you is that they were nothing but rich white men etc..

It is people like this that make me extra happy we have a 2nd Amendment. LOCK and LOAD !

May we earn a new birth of courage before our nation's birthday next rolls around.

All that breathless melodrama to let us know he wants to elect a Democrat for president, as if we couldn't have guessed.

Let us spend the day truly studying the example of our Founders.

Don't tell him, but our founding father's certainly wouldn't let him marry this week's gay lover.

What a P.O.S. Chris Satullo is.

Anti-American, liar. If you don’t like the USA, leave the country but don’t expect to get the same freedoms to print such drivel anywhere else.

It's Not Easy Being Green For Democrat Convention ~ LOL

Hundreds of free bikes will be available for anyone looking for an alternative to automobiles during the Democratic convention in Denver -- and also in Minneapolis-St. Paul when the Republicans convene.

From left, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, Director of Bikes Belong Tim Blumenthal, convention organizer Parry Burnap and Dan Oftedahl of Humana, which will provide the free bikes, announced the initiative in early May.

Democrats hope to power media pavilions in part with solar energy. Wind energy will be used to power the convention halls

The Greenest Show on Earth: Democrats Gear Up for Denver

The Wall Street Journal

From Organic Fanny Packs to 'Pure' Trash, Party Planners Face Logistical Nightmare

As the Mile High City gears up to host a Democratic bash for 50,000, organizers are discovering the perils of trying to stage a political spectacle that's also politically correct.

Fanny Packs

The host committee for the Democratic National Convention wanted 15,000 fanny packs for volunteers. But they had to be made of organic cotton. By unionized labor. In the USA.

Official merchandiser Bob DeMasse scoured the country. His weary conclusion: "That just doesn't exist."

Ditto for the baseball caps. "We have a union cap or an organic cap," Mr. DeMasse says. "But we don't have a union-organic offering."

Much of the hand-wringing can be blamed on Denver's Democratic mayor, John Hickenlooper, who challenged his party and his city to "make this the greenest convention in the history of the planet."

Convention organizers hired the first-ever Director of Greening, longtime environmental activist Andrea Robinson. Her response to the mayor's challenge: "That terrifies me!"

After all, the last time Democrats met in Denver -- to nominate William Jennings Bryan in 1908 -- they dispatched horse-drawn wagons to bring snow from the Rocky Mountains to cool the meeting hall. Ms. Robinson suspected modern-day delegates would prefer air conditioning. So she quickly modified the mayor's goal: She'd supervise "the most sustainable political convention in modern American history."

Now, she must pull it off.

To test whether celebratory balloons advertised as biodegradable actually will decompose, Ms. Robinson buried samples in a steaming compost heap. She hired an Official Carbon Adviser, who will measure the greenhouse-gas emissions of every placard, every plane trip, every appetizer prepared and every coffee cup tossed. The Democrats hope to pay penance for those emissions by investing in renewable energy projects.

Perhaps Ms. Robinson's most audacious goal is to reuse, recycle or compost at least 85% of all waste generated during the convention.

The Trash Brigade

To police the four-day event Aug. 25-28, she's assembling (via paperless online signup) a trash brigade. Decked out in green shirts, 900 volunteers will hover at waste-disposal stations to make sure delegates put each scrap of trash in the proper bin. Lest a fork slip into the wrong container unnoticed, volunteers will paw through every bag before it is hauled away.

"That's the only way to make sure it's pure," Ms. Robinson says.

Food

No fried food. And, on the theory that nutritious food is more vibrant, each meal should include "at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple, and white." (Garnishes don't count.) At least 70% of ingredients should be organic or grown locally, to minimize emissions from fuel burned during transportation. "One would think," says Mr. Burns, "that the Democrats in Denver have bigger fish to bake -- they have ruled out frying already -- than mandating color-coordinated pretzel platters."

The city has staged "greening workshops" attended by hundreds of caterers, restaurant owners and hotel managers.

"It's the new patriotism," Mayor Hickenlooper says.

Coors Conflict

But it's almost inevitable that principles, politics and profit will conflict. To wit: Coors Brewing Co., in Golden, Colo., will donate biofuel made from beer waste to power the convention's fleet of flex-fuel vehicles. A green star for the convention -- but it has rankled die-hard liberals, who boycotted Coors in the 1960s and '70s to protest hiring practices that they said discriminated against blacks, Latinos, women and gays. Heirs to the Coors fortune have long been active in conservative causes and Republican politics.

Convention officials say Coors is a good corporate citizen. And a Coors spokeswoman says the donation was a gesture of civic pride, not politics.

No matter, grumbles Anna Flynn, a longtime union member from Denver who objected to the donation. "Any way you put it, it's still Coors," she says.

So will the fanny packs -- made in the USA of undyed, organic fabric. Mr. DeMasse vows to get a union shop to print the logo, but he says the ink will be petroleum based. Unless, that is, he decides to get the logo embroidered -- with biodegradable thread.

Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL This is going to be so much fun to watch....too bad Hillary won't be a major player to stir things up.

"Decked out in green shirts, 900 volunteers will hover at waste-disposal stations to make sure delegates put each scrap of trash in the proper bin. Lest a fork slip into the wrong container unnoticed, volunteers will paw through every bag before it is hauled away."

LMAO this is rich! hahaha They could call them the Green Nazi Patrol. And if they were really serious they should ban all private jets to the convention.
You just know if Gore is going to be there he will be arriving on his private jet.

Just Who Is Rep. Maurice Hinchey?

Rep. Hinchey speaks with Code Pink Women

re: $124 billion supplemental for more war funding in Iraq, the Occupation of Iraq, and Bush administration

He was particularly noted for his work on protecting the natural environment. For fourteen years he chaired the Committee on Environmental Conservation. One highlight of his tenure was the passage of the country's first law concerning regulation of acid rain.

he no longer bills himself as a conservative or even a moderate Democrat. In fact, he is one of the most liberal members of the House, and one of the state's most liberal congressmen outside New York City. For example, his website states, "He was one of the first and most outspoken opponents of the 2003 war in Iraq."

He now serves on the powerful Appropriations Committee, a post that helps him deliver federal support on programs important to his district.

Hinchey is a member of Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of liberal congressmen.

Representative Hinchey has been one of Congress' strongest voices in support of medical marijuana. The Hinchey-Rohrabacher medical marijuana amendment -- which has been introduced in the United States House of Representatives every year since 2003

Maurice Hinchey Voting record:

Wild Thing's comment.......

The video shocked me. I know the left goes along with what Code Pink does and many have supported what they do like John Murtha etc. But I never knew anyone in our government went all out to plan and direct them on what to do.

TREASON!

John Kerry Keen To Be US Top Diplomat

John Kerry keen to be US' top diplomat

June 16,2008

NEW YORK:

John Kerry, who suffered defeat at the hands of President George Bush in last US elections, now harbours aspiration to become Secretary of State if presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama wins the race to the White House in November.

Kerry, who is the third ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, is keen to be nation's top diplomat but does not eye the bigger prize of vice-presidency, Newsweek on Sunday quoted an unidentified source close to him as saying.

That could also well be the case for Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd, the committee's second-ranking Democrat and for Senator Joseph Biden, the committee's chairman, who is frequently mentioned by Democratic insiders as a potential Secretary of State though both might give the V-P post their first priority, the report said.

Kerry is a decorated Vietnam War veteran, but because his Senate experience is in foreign relations rather than military affairs, he's more intrigued by the State Department than the Pentagon, Newsweek said quoting the source. He also speaks fluent French.

Dodd, meanwhile, has recently been showcasing his expertise on Latin America. At an April conference at the US Naval Academy, he laid out a blueprint for a "new relationship" between the United States and the region, the report noted.

Dodd's plan would include efforts to "dramatically improve" relations with Raul Castro's Cuba by lifting a US trade embargo and travel ban.

Traitor John Kerry through the years

John Kerry, from his book, The New Soldier:

This John Kerry quote comes in the epilogue to "The New Soldier," the book put out by Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) . The book's cover features a group of not-particularly sober-looking anti-war protesters (vets, presumably) flying the American flag upside down while mocking the historic flag raising event at Iwo Jima":

"We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars-in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim. It is from these things the New Soldier is asking America to turn. We are asking America to turn from false glory, hollow victory, fabricated foreign threats, fear which threatens us as a nation, shallow pride which feeds off fear, and mostly from the promises which have proven so deceiving these past ten years. "

Kerry testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971.

"Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam -- our allies -- as a "dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime," while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong's political arm by their preferred "Provisional Revolutionary Government."

"Two recently discovered documents captured from the Vietnamese communists during the Vietnam War strongly support the contention that a close link existed between the Hanoi regime and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) while John Kerry served as the group's leading national spokesman."

John Kerry calls American troops terrorists

John Kerry says stupid troops get stuck in Iraq

Wild Thing's comment........

Kerry and Obama would probably be on the same diplomatic page. Unconditional surrender.

Kerry should have been punished for treason when he did the above and other things back in the 70's. If you like you can go to a page I made when Kerry was running for President. It is called Extreme Prejudice The Red Zone. It has a lot more information there.

Muslim Keith Ellison Addresses Nat. Conference for Media Reform

Socialist Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison: "America An Imperial Power"

Congressman Keith Ellison address the National Conference for Media Reform in Minneapolis, June 6, 2008.

Keith Ellison is America's first ever Muslim congressman and his election was hailed by the MSM as a great step forward and a sign of our enlightened times.

Ellison talks about how Ronald Reagan made him sick but Bush makes him sicker. He calls America an “imperial power.” Then he suggests that the country should get rid of “hate radio” and Fox News.

Wild Thing's comment........

So much for moderate Muslims once again they prove there is no such thing.

I imagine Keith Ellison will be on Obama's top 10 guest list IF Obama becomes President.

Democrats, Enviro's and Rino's Are To Blame for High Price of Energy

Congress: Democrats oppose extracting 10 billion barrels of oil from ANWR because it won't affect prices, but want to tap our strategic reserve of 700 million because it will. Come again?

Investors Business Daily

At a hearing last week before the House Committee on Global Warming, Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., said he didn't understand why President Bush wasn't releasing oil from the nation's reserves stored in underground salt domes in Texas and Louisiana.

Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman tried to explain that the stockpile "is meant to deal with . . . the physical interruption of the flow of oil to this country. We don't have that issue today."

We might, however, in the event of a conflict with, say, Iran. And for that reason, we believe the SPR should remain — what's the word? — "pristine" and filled to the brim.

But we not only need the SPR; we need more reserves — from the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to shale oil in the Rockies to the outer continental shelf.

Instead, we have the likes of Rep. Markey, who last year introduced H.R. 39, legislation that would make the 1.2-million-acre coastal plain of ANWR a permanently protected wilderness.

Oil development would affect only 2,000 acres, yet Markey et al. seek to end forever efforts to develop its energy resources to benefit Americans.

Never mind that off the coast of Louisiana, not far from our strategic reserve, there are 3,200 offshore oil platforms that survived Hurricane Katrina without leaking a drop of crude.

Also never mind that Louisiana produces a third of America's commercial fisheries; fish thrive amid the platforms. Yet we are barred from more offshore exploration because of fears of spills and imaginary threats to marine life.

In our world, 10 billion is a lot bigger than 700 million. It's bigger in Bodman's world as well. The biggest factor affecting prices, he said, is that beginning in 2005 "there has been no change in global production" and "demand has outstripped supply."

The Energy Information Administration says the U.S. by itself will need 19% more energy in 2030. Add in the rest of the world and the growing economies of China and India, and you're talking 55% more energy demand. Despite our best efforts, more than 60% of that demand will be for oil and natural gas.

As President Bush said at a recent press conference, the Department of Energy has estimated that ANWR development, vetoed by Hillary Clinton's husband in 1995, would add a million barrels of oil to our daily supply.

That, he said, "translates to about 27 million gallons of gasoline and diesel every day." And that, he continued, "would be about a 20% increase of oil . . . and likely mean lower gas prices."

In last week's annual scapegoating of Big Oil, John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., told his Senate inquisitors: "This persistent denial of access is costing American consumers right out of their pocketbooks."

ANWR is only the tip of the iceberg, no pun intended. The outer continental shelf holds an estimated 115 billion barrels of oil and 635 trillion feet of natural gas. If allowed to develop these resources in Alaska, the shelf and elsewhere, U.S. reserves would increase by a factor of five, and we'd jump from 11th to fourth in the world in the size of our proven reserves.

Enough, in other words, to make OPEC blink — and gas prices drop.

Las Vegas Sun

The Democrats continue their efforts to blame the rising prices of gasoline and fuel oil on the Republicans and, in particular, the Bush administration. There is no bigger lie to be foisted upon the American public.

Since 1980, almost 29 years ago, the Democrats began their refusal to allow offshore drilling, Alaskan oil drilling, the construction of nuclear power plants and wind farms off the coast of New England. Their claims, however foolish, were designed to protect the interests of their political contributors, not the pocketbooks of the American citizenry.

Now the Democrats want to blame the Republican Party for failure to levy fines for “price gouging” by Big Oil. Never mind the fact that they, the Democrats, ran on the promise to keep gasoline prices low and punish Big Oil for price gouging.

The Democrat spokesmen all say that if we were to allow drilling offshore, in Alaska, and that if we were to allow nuclear power plants, it would be at least 10 years before we would realize anything in production. That may be true, but if we had begun to act in 1980, 29 years ago, the “10 year” claim would be a moot point! We would have had energy prices under control, and facts are facts!

Wild Thing's comment.........

Every time someone complains to me about these “outrageous gas prices,” I tell them, “Blame the Democrats who have kept us from drilling for more oil the last 30 years.”

This makes me so angry. These people that have done this to our country over the years, the enviro mentally ill human pieces of flesh which are also democrats, and the democrats that sit on their non working butts and do nothing for this country and the rino's that go along with this crap......should be put in prison in some third world country and never let out into society again.

I am so sick of these enviro's controlling our country the way they have done. Sick of this enemy within we have that do this kind of thing, the same people that do NOT support our troops, the same people that want socialism/ communism for the United States of America.

Ted Kennedy Rushed To Hospital

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy is transported on a stretcher to a waiting Med Flight helicopter at Barnstable Municipal Airport this morning for transport to a Boston hospital.

Sen. Kennedy falls ill; taken to Boston hospital by helicopter
HYANNIS

Cape Cod Times

U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy was rushed by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital this morning after falling ill at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport.

Hyannis fire responded to the compound after a call was made around 8:30 a.m. It's unclear what Kennedy's medical condition is, but after he spent almost two hours in the emergency room a decision was made to transfer him to Mass General Hospital in Boston.

Kennedy, 76, was placed on a stretcher and wheeled out to the MedFlight helicopter around 10:15 a.m. where it took off from Barnstable Municipal Airport.

The Kennedy family is preparing to host the annual Best Buddies Challenge event in Hyannisport this afternoon, which is a fund-raiser for the organization. Best Buddies was founded by Anthony Kennedy Shriver and helps people with intellectual disabilities.

Hundreds are expected to participate in the event, which kicked off this morning with a 100-mile bicycle ride from the Kennedy Library in Boston to Hyannisport.

A concert at the Kennedy compound is scheduled for tonight.

Kennedy has represented Massachusetts in the United States Senate for forty-three years.

He was elected in 1962 to finish the final two years of the Senate term of his brother, Senator John F. Kennedy, who was elected president in 1960.

Since then, Kennedy has been re-elected to seven full terms, and is now the second most senior member of the Senate.
