 (  MSNBC crank reporter Andrea Mitchell mocked Sarah Palin and jotted a few notes on her hand this morning on the air.)</p>

<p>
The  left went bonkers after they discovered that the TelePrompter-less former Governor Sarah Palin wrote notes on the palm of her left hand for her speech to the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville. The far left absolutely freaked over this non-issue rather than focus on her brilliant speech knocking the Obama Administration’s horrid record on economics and national defense.

         <title>Obama Forces Military Hospitals to Stock Morning After Pill</title>

<p>Obama Administration Forces Military Hospitals to Stock Morning After Pill</p>

<p><a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5967.html">Lifenews.com</a></p>

<p>Obama administration issued a new order for the U.S. military requiring all military hospitals and health centers to stock the morning after pill. The Department of Defense will soon begin having military medical facilities stock the Plan B drug, which can sometimes cause an abortion.</p>

<p>The Obama administration's decision came after the Pentagon's Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, an advisory panel, made the recommendation to stock the drug.</p>

<p>The PPTC suggested stocking both Plan B and the Next Choice generic of the morning after pill.</p>

<p>The decision is the latest to have President Barack Obama overturning pro-life policies during the Bush administration and follows him forcing Americans to pay for abortions and embryonic stem cell research with their tax dollars.</p>

<p>Obama's decision is not going over well with Wendy Wright, the president of Concerned Women for America.</p>

<p>"The military needs to focus on its prime mission, yet leftists view it as a means to promote their agenda," she told LifeNews.com. "The morning-after pill is highly ineffective in preventing pregnancies and completely useless in preventing sexually-transmitted diseases. But it's a political tool for abortion advocates."</p>

<p>Wright worries the decision is the first step to pushing abortions at military hospitals.</p>

<p>"By making this drug required, the next step will making drugs like RU-486, the abortion pill, mandatory," she said. "And doctors or pharmacists who have objections will be purged from the ranks."</p>

<p>"The military needs to focus on discipline and proper behavior - because lives depend on it - not promoting risky behavior," Wright continued.</p>

<p>Nancy Keenan of NARAL, a national pro-abortion group, lobbied the Obama administration to overturn the policy and applauded the decision to do so.</p>

<p>"It's a tragedy that women in uniform have been denied such basic health care," she said in a statement. "We applaud the medical experts for standing up for military women." </p>

<p>Keenan said the more than 350,000 women in the military would be benefited by the decision.</p>

<p>But Jeanne Monahan, director of the Center for Human Dignity at the Family Research Council, told the Washington Post she also disagreed with the decision.</p>

<p>"It can prevent the embryo from implanting and therefore destroy a human life," she said. </p>

<p>"Women serving in the military deserve to know the truth about their medications. Because this can be the difference between preventing and destroying life, a requirement to carry this drug could violate the conscience rights of military personnel who have moral objections," Monahan continued.</p>

<p>Wright also worries the military will eventually promote Ellaone, a new drug that is billed as a morning after pill that works up to 5 days after sex, but, in reality, is an abortion drug.</p>

<p>"A new drug similar to RU-486 can reportedly be used as a 'morning-after pill'. So designating the morning-after pill as required to stock, and easy to obtain, may open the door for an abortion pill - which undisputedly kills an unborn child and can be extremely dangerous to the mother - to fit in that category," she concludes.</p>

         <title>Obama&apos;s Budget Eliminates Boeing C-17 Program</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p>

<p>Obama's Budget Eliminates Boeing C-17 Program</p>

<p><a href="http://www.fox2now.com/news/ktvi-c-17-obama-budget-boeing-jobs-020110,0,1675273.story">FOX News</a></p>

<p>There's concern about Boeing's C-17 aircraft. President <strong>Obama's budget proposal calls for cutting several weapons programs, including the C-17. Eliminating the C-17 program </strong>could mean eliminating jobs in the Gateway City.</p>

<blockquote>When unveiling his budget, President Obama said, "We save money by eliminating unnecessary defense programs that do nothing to keep us safe. One example is the 2.5 billion dollars that were spending to build C-17 transport aircraft."</blockquote>

<p><strong>C-17s have been used extensively in flying supplies and troops to earthquake ravaged Haiti. Senator Kit Bond says they're desperately needed.</strong></p>

<p>Four years ago, the Defense Department decided to stop production of the C-17 because it had acquired the 180 it requested.</p>

<blockquote>"Yet every year since, congress has provided unrequested money for more C-17s the Pentagon doesn't want or need. It's waste pure and simple," says the President.</blockquote>

<p><strong>The C-17 is one of Boeing's premiere aircraft. It supports a thousand jobs in St. Louis, jobs that could be cut, if the program is cancelled.</strong></p>

<blockquote>Senator Kit Bond said," The president's mixed up spending priorities also threatens workers right here in St. Louis and our nation's air lift capacity."</blockquote>

<p>You may recall, the government tried to eliminate the C-17 program in 2009, but lawmakers saved it. Bond says he'll fight for it again this year especially since the Pentagon now has the ability to retire C-5As.</p>

<blockquote>Sen. Bond says," They need the C-17s to replace those aircraft. I'm going to make that point very loudly in the appropriations process. We'll see whether we're successful."</blockquote>

<p><strong>U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill says she will also fight to save the C-17 program.</strong> She released the following statement:</p>

<blockquote>We have known for years now that the c-17 has been flying into a strong headwind. Over the last three years, secretaries of defense and presidents from both political parties have uniformly sought to end its production. Since coming to the senate, i have fought side by side with my colleagues against these recommendations and we have successfully prevented an end of production. At a time when the c-17s first-rate capabilities are in increasing demand around the world, i will once again fight for this plane. I will be looking particularly closely at the substantial readiness problems with the c-5, the only other strategic airlifter. It seems long overdue that we should retire the oldest c-5 planes that arent working and replace them with the c-17, a plane that we know works and is produced at a fair cost.</blockquote>

<p><strong>Boeing released the following statement reacting to the proposed defense budget cuts:</strong></p>

<blockquote>"What we have been able to see so far of the proposed DOD budget and the QDR raise key public policy issues that will be discussed in the days, weeks, and months ahead.Critically important among these issues are the future of America's defense industrial base and maintaining healthy competition in the defense industry. As a matter of public policy and defense doctrine, America has invested in developing and maintaining a national defense industrial base that meets the evolving needs of the military while providing the best value for the taxpayer. It is a true national asset - built over many years by investing in highly-skilled engineering and a high-tech manufacturing workforce and by developing best-of-industry practices. The Congress now begins its work towards passing the overall budget and the DOD segment. We will continue to study the budget proposals being made for potential impact to Boeing, the industry, its industrial base, and to its workers, as well as important policy debates in other critical areas such as healthcare, energy, the environment and education. Meanwhile, the men and women of The Boeing Company will continue to perform at the highest possible level to deliver the best value to our customers and to the taxpayer."</blockquote>

Barack Obama is planning to host a televised meeting with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders on health care reform.

<p></p>

<p>The Feb. 25 meeting is an attempt to reach across the aisle but not a signal that the president plans to start over, as Republicans have demanded, a White House official said. </p>

<p><br />
<blockquote>“I want to come back [after the Presidents Day congressional recess] and have a large meeting — Republicans and Democrats — to go through, systematically, all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward,” Obama said in an interview with Katie Couric during CBS’s Super Bowl pre-game show Sunday.</blockquote></p>

<p><br />
<blockquote>Obama said he wants to “look at the Republican ideas that are out there.” </blockquote></p>

<p><br />
<blockquote>“If we can go, step by step, through a series of these issues and arrive at some agreements, then, procedurally, there’s no reason why we can’t do it a lot faster the process took last year,” he said. </blockquote></p>

<p><br />
<blockquote>In a statement, the official said, “What the president will not do is let this moment slip away. He hopes to have Republican support in doing so — but he is going to move forward on health reform.” </blockquote></p>

Krauthammer: If Dems Didn't Hear the Rejection of ObamaCare from Mass. then 'They Need Hearing Aids'</p>

<p><br><p>

<p><strong>House GOP Responds to Summit Invite   </strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>The GOP says they will agree to meet with Obama over the Health Care bill if he agrees to start over from scratch.</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NjJjNjQwODhjMzI1ODEwMTA4N2Q2NTU3NmIxMGYyMTM">The Corner</a> </p>

<p><br />
House GOP Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) and Whip Eric Cantor (R., Va.)  sent White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel a letter regarding the upcoming health-care summit:</p>

<p><br />
<blockquote>Mr. Emanuel:</blockquote></p>

<blockquote>We welcome President Obama’s announcement of forthcoming bipartisan health care talks. In fact, you may remember that last May, Republicans asked President Obama to hold bipartisan discussions on health care in an attempt to find common ground on health care, but he declined and instead chose to work with only Democrats. Since then, the President has given dozens of speeches on health care reform, operating under the premise that the more the American people learn about his plan, the more they will come to like it. Just the opposite has occurred: a majority of Americans oppose the House and Senate health care bills and want them scrapped so we can start over with a step-by-step approach focused on lowering costs for families and small businesses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Just as important, scrapping the House and Senate health care bills would help end the uncertainty they are creating for workers and businesses and thus strengthen our shared commitment to focusing on creating jobs. Assuming the President is sincere about moving forward on health care in a bipartisan way, does that mean he will agree to start over so that we can develop a bill that is truly worthy of the support and confidence of the American people? Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said today that the President is “absolutely not” resetting the legislative process for health care.</blockquote>

<blockquote>If the starting point for this meeting is the job-killing bills the American people have already soundly rejected, Republicans would rightly be reluctant to participate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Assuming the President is sincere about moving forward in a bipartisan way, does that mean he has taken off the table the idea of relying solely on Democratic votes and jamming through health care reform by way of reconciliation?  As the President has noted recently, Democrats continue to hold large majorities in the House and Senate, which means they can attempt to pass a health care bill at any time through the reconciliation process. </blockquote>

<strong>Wild Thing's comment</strong>........</p>

<p>Not a negotiation, just a confab for Hussein to pretend like he gives a damn about working with Republicans. <br />
The GOP had better not get sucked in by Hussein. The legislation IS SUPPOSED TO BE NEGOTIATED IN COMMITTEES. </p>

<p>SEPARATION OF POWERS MEANS THE LEGISLATURE LEGISLATES, NOT THE EXECUTIVE! </p>

<p>Hussein is trying the fascist trick of making the entire process about HIM approving or disapproving. Let's see some real nut-busting in legislative committees, not a coffee clatch where Hussein the prompter-reading idiot gets to stand over everyone. </p>

<p>GOP: DO NOT FALL FOR THIS STUFF! </p>

<p><em>“Obama said he wants to “look at the Republican ideas that are out there.”</em></p>

<p>He just went on air recently and bragged about all the Republican ideas incorporated in the bill. There’s no question in my mind hes never once listened since hes the ‘I Won” man.</p>

<p>The GOP response to this White House should be: “We will be glad to discuss this legislation and the ideas in the proper forum, the forum the Founding Fathers envisioned: the legislature. Thanks for your concerns, and we’ll note them when we meet in committee. Goodbye.”<br />

The Dow Jones industrial average closed below 10,000 for the first time in three months Monday on nagging concerns about debt loads in Europe. </p>

<p>Shares of big banks pulled the market lower, extending a slump that has led to four straight weekly losses. </p>

<p>Rising deficits in weaker European economies including Greece, Portugal and Spain have raised questions about the health of the global financial system.</p>

John Murtha died from complications of gallbladder surgery.</p>

<p><br><p>

<p>Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), 77, a Vietnam veteran who staunchly supported military spending and became a master of pork-barrel politics, died today at Virginia Hospital Center. The 19-term lawmaker died from complications of gallbladder surgery.</p>

<p>Elected to Congress in 1974 from a southwestern Pennsylvania district that has been economically devastated by the decline of America’s coal-mining and steel industries, the gruff and jowly Rep. Murtha was beloved by his constituents for tapping billions of dollars in federal funds to seed new industries there. </p>

<p>The antiwar democrat was famous for his cold-blooded attack on innocent US Marines in Haditha, Iraq. </p>

<p>Rep. Murtha Dead at 77<br />
By Chad Pergram</p>

<p><br />
<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/08/rep-murtha-dead/"> FOXNews.com </a></p>

<p>Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. John Murtha, the first veteran of the Vietnam war to enter Congress and one of the House's most powerful lawmakers, died Monday afternoon at Virginia Hospital Center after complications from gallbladder surgery. Murtha was 77.</p>

<p>Congressman John P. Murtha (PA-12) passed away peacefully this afternoon at 1:18 p.m. at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va. At his bedside was his family," read a statement from his office.</p>

<p>A native of New Martinsville, W.Va., voters first elected Murtha to Congress in a 1974 special election that spelled impending doom for President Nixon and congressional Republicans. That fall, Democrats wrestled away 49 House seats from the GOP, reeling from the scourge of Watergate and a presidency in shambles.</p>

<p>Murtha rose to become the chairman of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, which controls spending for the Pentagon. Chairmen of the appropriations subcommittee panels are viewed with such prestige on Capitol Hill that they're called "cardinals." That's a nod to Rome because of the eminence these lawmakers hold over spending for their federal fiefdom.</p>

<p>Murtha was the endorsed candidate of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to become majority leader when Democrats won control of Congress in 2006. But current Majority Leader Steny Hoyer overwhelmingly defeated Murtha by secret ballot in a hard-fought leadership contest.</p>

<p>Murtha enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1952 and became a drill instructor at Parris Island. He served in Korea and received a Bronze Star and Two Purple Hearts for his service in Vietnam. He continued to be a member of the Marine Corps Reserves until he resigned as a colonel in 1990.</p>

<p>Murtha voted to go to war in Iraq the fall of 2002. But two years later, the Pennsylvania Democrat called for the United States to withdraw. Later on the House floor, Rep. Jean Schmidt, the newest member of the House at the time, spoke in favor of the war and chided Murtha that "cowards cut and run, Marines never do." Schmidt's remarks ignited a firestorm on the House floor as lawmakers rose to Murtha's defense. Schmidt later said she didn't know that Murtha was a Marine. She withdrew her comments and apologized.</p>

<p>A hint of scandal lingered over much of Murtha's career. The FBI named Murtha an "unindicted co-conspirator" in its ABSCAM sting operation in the late 1970s and early '80s. ABSCAM resulted in the conviction of five House members and one senator. The FBI recorded Murtha on videotape declining a $50,000 bribe from federal agents posing as Arab sheiks. But the congressman did say he could be interested in future dealings.</p>

<p>Nicknamed "The King of Pork," Murtha also faced scrutiny for earmarking federal dollars for projects in his district. Numerous news reports lambasted the congressman for steering money to the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport. The facility received $150 million from Washington for upgrades despite limited commercial use. But the airport is also used for military purposes.</p>

<p>The congressman also faced scrutiny for campaign contributions he and other appropriators received from the now defunct PMA lobbying firm. Murtha scored nearly $2.5 million in donations from PMA and its clients over a nearly 20-year period. The feds continue to scrutinize PMA. The Office of Congressional Ethics asked the House ethics committee to drop any inquiries into the dealings Murtha had with PMA.</p>

<p>Murtha also stirred controversy in the fall of 2008 with President Obama poised to become the first African-American president. When asked about Mr. Obama's chances in his congressional district, Murtha responded, "There's no question western Pennsylvania is a racist area."</p>

<p>Even though Murtha won re-election, Sen. John McCain carried the district in the presidential race by about 1,000 votes.</p>

<p>Despite controversy, Murtha was beloved by his House colleagues for holding court in what's called "Murtha's corner" in the rear of the House chamber. During a House vote series, Murtha could often be seen trading information or spinning yarns with fellow lawmakers. He also won the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award and Pennsylvania's two highest honors, the Distinguished Service Medal and the Meritorious Service Medal.</p>

<p>Funeral arrangements are incomplete.</p>

<p>It’s time to be judged for his slandered to our Marines.</p>

<p>He forfeited his title of Marine when he gave aid and comfort to our enemies during a time of war, while betraying the Haditha Marines.</p>

Charles Krauthammer setting Juan Williams straight after Williams dared to compare "Obamanomics" to "Reaganomics." Williams had said Obama's tendency to propose spending he cannot pay for, "sounds like Reaganomics" to me. </p>

<p>Krauthammer responded to Williams with a short but direct answer:</p>

<blockquote>"Reagan created the biggest economic expansion, and the longest in US history. I rest my case."</blockquote>

Juan just wants so desperately for Obama to be The One. And Krauthammer... he simply rocks.</p>

         <title>U.N. Gun Ban Faces Pre-emptive Attack</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p>

<p><br>

<p>U.N. gun ban faces pre-emptive attack</p>

<p><strong>'There's no doubt that the real agenda is domestic firearms control'</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124121">wnd</a></p>

<p><strong>A gun rights organization has launched a petition effort to build opposition to plans being discussed by U.S. officials and the United Nations that could result in the confiscation and destruction of privately owned firearms inside the U.S. </strong></p>

<p><a href="http://www.nagr.org/UNpetition1.aspx?pid=5">The online petition</a>, run by officials with the National Association for Gun Rights, offers participants a conduit to tell their U.S. senators a "Small Arms Treaty"'  being discussed is "nothing more than a massive global gun control scheme, designed to register, ban and confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens." </p>

<blockquote>Spokesman Luke O'Dell has explained in on online statement that the exact wording of the proposal so far has been kept "under wraps." </blockquote>

<blockquote>"But looking at previous versions of the U.N. 'Small Arms Treaty,' you and I can get a good idea of what's likely in the works," he wrote. "Don't let any of the 'experts' lull you to sleep by saying 'Oh, we have it handled' or 'Until you know exactly what's in the treaty you can't fight against it.'" </blockquote>

<blockquote>"Judging by Ambassador [John] Bolton's comments – who certainly knows what to expect from the American-freedom-hating international crowd that infests the U.N. – we are certain the treaty's going to address the private ownership of firearms," O'Dell wrote. </blockquote>

<blockquote>In a video posted on the website for the National Rifle Association, Bolton said, "I think it was clear from the outset that the Obama administration would move in this direction. The only thing that's surprising is that it's taken this long." </blockquote>

<blockquote>He said the presentations have portrayed the "Small Arms Treaty" as something to address international arms trade. "But there's no doubt that the real agenda is domestic firearms control," he said. </blockquote>

<blockquote>He said there are many references that the only targets would be "illicit" arms. </blockquote>

<blockquote>"That begs the whole question. What's legal and what's illegal in a domestic application?" he said. </blockquote>

<blockquote>"Whatever the appearance on the surface, there's no doubt that domestic firearms control is right at the top of the agenda," he said. </blockquote>

<p>O'Dell suggested that the new "international" law could bring tougher licensing requirements, programs to confiscate "unauthorized" firearms and even a ban on the private ownership of weapons inside the U.S. </p>

<p>The petition delivers to senators a request to oppose any plans to ratify a U.N. "Small Arms Treaty." </p>

<blockquote>"The ratification of this treaty would also likely create an international gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation," it states. </blockquote>

<p>WND reported last fall when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton first announced the U.S. had changed its stance and would support negotiations of an Arms Trade Treaty to regulate international gun trafficking. </p>

<p>The Bush administration had opposed it. </p>

<p>The U.S. also at that point joined a nearly unanimous 153-1 U.N. vote to adopt a resolution setting out a timetable on the proposed Arms Trade Treaty, including a U.N. conference to produce a final accord in 2012. </p>

<p>While Clinton called the plan a "crucial national security concern for the United States," gun rights advocates said it was an attempt under President Obama to sneak gun control into the U.S. without having the issue debated in Congress. </p>

<p>At the time, Brian Wood, disarmament expert for Amnesty International, said in a Bloomberg report the U.S. is the largest conventional arms trader in the world and the unregulated trade of conventional arms "can fuel instability, transnational organized crime and terrorism." </p>

<blockquote>"All countries participate in the conventional arms trade and share responsibility for the 'collateral damage' it produces – widespread death, injuries and human rights abuses," said Rebecca Peters, director of the International Action Network on Small Arms in an Agence France-Presse interview. "Now finally governments have agreed to negotiate legally binding global controls on this deadly trade." </blockquote>

<p>But Bob Barr, a former U.S. representative and presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, explained in a separate interview with the NRA how a treaty that looks like it's all about fighting international crime will necessarily lead to erosion of Second Amendment gun rights: </p>

<blockquote>"Even though [treaty advocates] all say, 'We are not going to involve domestic laws and the right to keep and bear arms, that won't be affected by all this,' that's nonsense," Barr said. "There's no way that if you buy into something like this and a treaty is passed regulating to ensure that firearms transfers internationally don't fall into the hands of people that the U.N. doesn't like, there's no way that that mechanism will work unless you have some form of national regulation and national tracking." </blockquote>

<p>The effort is just one more of the outreaches launched under Obama that critics fear could lead to additional gun bans. They have expressed concern his nominee to head the Occupational Safety and Health Administration could arbitrarily ban guns across large segments of society as a "job safety" concern. </p>

<p><strong>Also, Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder, supported Washington, D.C.'s ban on handguns before it was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. </strong>And since Obama has been in office, he's already advocated for a treaty that would require a federal license for hunters to reload their ammunition, has expressed a desire to ban "assault" weapons, has seen a plan to require handgun owners to submit to mental health evaluations and sparked a rush on ammunition purchases with his history of anti-gun positions. </p>

<p>Citizens wishing to speak out on the issue can contact the <a href="http://contact-us.state.gov/cgi-bin/state.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?p_sid=Wm88MUMj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0xMTYsMTE2JnBfcHJvZHM9JnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**">State Department </a>or the <a href="https://www.nrahq.org/contact.asp">National Rifle Association. </a></p>

<p></p>

<blockquote>"The ratification of this treaty would also likely create an international gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation," it states. </blockquote>

<p><br><p>

<p><br />
The United Nations and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are moving forward with their plan to confiscate your guns. </p>

<p>The United States joined 152 other countries in support of the Arms Trade Treaty Resolution, which establishes the dates for the 2012 UN conference intended to attack American sovereignty by stripping Americans of the right to keep and bear arms. </p>

<p>Working groups of anti-gun countries will begin scripting language for the conference this year, creating a blueprint for other countries when they meet at the full conference. </p>

<p>The stakes couldn't be higher. </p>

<p>Former United Nation's ambassador John Bolton has cautioned gun owners about the Arms Trade Treaty and says the UN “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there’s no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.”  </p>

<p>Once again the  UN moves to kill our rights in order to "stop violence and strife." <br />
And it goes on and on....proving the UN is useless and naive. "but were trying to formant a more peaceful world and have justice", but do nothing to actually achieve these ends against despotic and violent regimes/states.</p>

         <title>Sarah Palin Campaigns for Rick Perry in Texas Yesterday</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p>

<p>About 15,000 people formed a line that snaked around the Berry Center in Cypress, just northwest of Houston. They've come an hour early on Super Bowl Sunday to grab tickets and see Sarah Palin and Rick Perry. The crowd is big, really big, for a governor's campaign and is more on the scale of a presidential rally. Signs around the arena welcome Sarah Palin to Texas and say "Texas is Succeeding" </p>

         <title>STILL NOT LISTENING: Obama Wants KSM in NYC</title>

<p><br><p>

<p>Obama in an interview with Katie Couric on 2-7-10 says despite pleas from local elected leaders to move the KSM trial, he still wants the trial in NYC. Also suggests that actionable intelligence was obtained from Christmas Day underpants bomber, if this was the case why did he refer to him as an "isolated extremist" 3 days after this "actionable intelligence" was gleaned. </p>

<p>Obama Pre-Game interview yesterday with Katic Couric </p>

<p>Couric: "Are you talking about reading them the Miranda rights? Their Miranda rights, in other words Abdulmutallab who was read his Miranda rights, a lot of people are very upset about that because he was giving information to the FBI then his rights were read to him and he clammed up"</p>

<p>Obama: "That's actually not what happened, what happened was, he clammed up, then after we obtained actionable intelligence from him, that's when the FBI, uh uh, the FBI, folks on the ground then read him his Miranda rights"</p>

<p><strong>Wild Thing's comment</strong>......</p>

<p>The terrorist hadn’t talked in 5 weeks after his Miranda Rights were read and only began after his dad visited him and I’m sure some plea deal. </p>

<p>The more he talks, the worse he looks. And he will NOT shut up and go away.  GRRRRRR</p>

<p>In the good old days if the President was to speak to the Nation that night, most of the populace would tune in on TV/Radio to hear him speak. Today with President Perpetual Gabber, most people just tune him out. He has so overexposed himself that people would rather listen to that Civil Defense Siren that comes over the TV ever so often, rather than listen to his silly blabber all the time.</p>

You Make the Difference: “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the Law</p>

<p>by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired<br />
 <br />
<strong>Before embarking on the debate of whether or not to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” it is useful to know the law, not a popular pastime for the current batch of legislators in the Congress</strong>. Title 10 U.S. Code sets forth that law which was crafted for the specific purpose of allowing them to serve and is quoted in the entirety below. <br />
 <br />
It is this law that Obama pledged to repeal and has directed the Secretary of Defense to suspend enforcement of its provisions.  Otherwise, if Secretary Gates made such decision on his own he violated the oath he took upon being sworn in as Secretary and should be impeached in the event the President refuses to fire him.<br />
 <br />
<strong>Additionally, if the President refuses, he too should be impeached for failure to uphold the law. It will be interesting to see whether or not anyone in the Congress has the brass to begin the process. </strong><br />
 <br />
 § 654. Policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces</p>

<p><br />
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:</p>

<p>(1) Section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the United States commits exclusively to the Congress the powers to raise and support armies, provide and maintain a Navy, and make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.<br />
(2) There is no constitutional right to serve in the armed<br />
forces.<br />
(3) Pursuant to the powers conferred by section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the United States, it lies within the discretion of the Congress to establish qualifications for and conditions of service in the armed forces.<br />
(4) The primary purpose of the armed forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.<br />
(5) The conduct of military operations requires members of the armed forces to make extraordinary sacrifices, including the ultimate sacrifice, in order to provide for the common defense.<br />
(6) Success in combat requires military units that are characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion.<br />
(7) One of the most critical elements in combat capability is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust among individual<br />
service members that make the combat effectiveness of a military unit greater than the sum of the combat effectiveness of the individual unit members.<br />
(8) Military life is fundamentally different from civilian life<br />
in that—<br />
(A) the extraordinary responsibilities of the armed forces, the unique conditions of military service, and the<br />
critical role of unit cohesion, require that the military community, while subject to civilian control, exist as a specialized society; and<br />
(B) the military society is characterized by its own laws, rules, customs, and traditions, including numerous<br />
restrictions on personal behavior, that would not be acceptable in civilian society.<br />
(9) The standards of conduct for members of the armed forces regulate a member’s life for 24 hours each day beginning at the moment the member enters military status and not ending until that person is discharged or otherwise separated from the armed forces.<br />
(10) Those standards of conduct, including the Uniform Code of Military Justice, apply to a member of the armed<br />
forces at all times that the member has a military status, whether the member is on base or off base, and whether the member is on duty or off duty.<br />
(11) The pervasive application of the standards of conduct is necessary because members of the armed forces must be ready at all times for worldwide deployment to a combat environment.<br />
(12) The worldwide deployment of United States military forces, the international responsibilities of the United States, and the potential for involvement of the armed forces in actual combat routinely make it necessary for members of the armed forces involuntarily to accept living conditions and working conditions that are often spartan, primitive, and characterized by forced intimacy with little or no privacy.<br />
(13) The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a longstanding element of military law that continues to be necessary in the unique circumstances of military service.<br />
(14) The armed forces must maintain personnel policies that exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would create an unacceptable risk to the armed forces’ high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability.<br />
(15) The presence in the armed forces of persons who demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability.<br />
(b) POLICY.—A member of the armed forces shall be separated from the armed forces under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the following findings is made and approved in accordance with procedures set forth in such<br />
regulations:<br />
(1) That the member has engaged in, attempted to engage in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or acts unless there are further findings, made and approved in accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations, that the member has demonstrated that—<br />
(A) such conduct is a departure from the member’s usual and customary behavior;<br />
(B) such conduct, under all the circumstances, is unlikely<br />
to recur;<br />
(C) such conduct was not accomplished by use of force, coercion, or intimidation;<br />
(D) under the particular circumstances of the case, the member’s continued presence in the armed forces is consistent with the interests of the armed forces in proper discipline, good order, and morale; and<br />
(E) the member does not have a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts.<br />
(2) That the member has stated that he or she is a homosexual or bisexual, or words to that effect, unless there is a further finding, made and approved in accordance with procedures  set forth in the regulations, that the member has demonstrated that he or she is not a person who engages in, attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or intends to engage in homosexual acts.<br />
(3) That the member has married or attempted to marry a person known to be of the same biological sex.<br />
(c) ENTRY STANDARDS AND DOCUMENTS.—(1) The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the standards for enlistment and appointment of members of the armed forces reflect the policies set forth in subsection (b).<br />
(2) The documents used to effectuate the enlistment or appointment of a person as a member of the armed forces shall set forth the provisions of subsection (b).<br />
(d) REQUIRED BRIEFINGS.—The briefings that members of the armed forces receive upon entry into the armed forces and periodically thereafter under section 937 of this title (article 137 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) shall include a detailed explanation of the applicable laws and regulations governing sexual conduct<br />
by members of the armed forces, including the policies prescribed under subsection (b).<br />
(e) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in subsection (b) shall be construed to require that a member of the armed forces be processed for separation from the armed forces when a determination is made in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary<br />
of Defense that—<br />
(1) the member engaged in conduct or made statements for the purpose of avoiding or terminating military service; and<br />
(2) separation of the member would not be in the best interest of the armed forces.<br />
(f) DEFINITIONS.—In this section:<br />
(1) The term ‘‘homosexual’’ means a person, regardless of sex, who engages in, attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or intends to engage in homosexual acts, and includes the terms ‘‘gay’’ and ‘‘lesbian’’.<br />
(2) The term ‘‘bisexual’’ means a person who engages in, attempts to engage in, has a propensity to engage in, or intends to engage in homosexual and heterosexual acts.<br />
(3) The term ‘‘homosexual act’’ means—<br />
(A) any bodily contact, actively undertaken or passively permitted, between members of the same sex for the<br />
purpose of satisfying sexual desires; and<br />
(B) any bodily contact which a reasonable person would understand to demonstrate a propensity or intent to<br />
engage in an act described in subparagraph (A).<br />
(Added P.L. 103–160, § 571(a)(1), Nov. 30, 1993, 107 Stat. 1670.)”<br />
 </p>

<p>We hereby request, urge and demand that Representative Jeff Miller, US Rep, 1st Congressional District of Florida, of which we are resident, initiate impeachment proceedings as a member of the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives either alone or in co-sponsorship with other members. <br />
 <br />
Representative Miller will undoubtedly want to head off this action by Democrats and Obama that would significantly affect the ability of the Armed Forces to meet quality and quantity recruiting and retention goals and would have a deleterious effect on National Security: <br />

<p><strong>The lyrics:</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p>Half-way across the globe, </p>

<p>And we're standing on new ground </p>

<p>Screaming 'cross the waves </p>

<p>You can't hear a sound </p>

<p>There's no fair trials, no trade, no liberties </p>

<p>No tea! </p>

<p>We've colonized America. We won't stand for tyranny! </p>

<p>O king: </p>

<p>And its too late to apologize. </p>

<p>Its too late! </p>

<p>I said its too late to apologize </p>

<p>Its too late! </p>

<p>We've paid your foolish tax, read the acts </p>

<p>And they just wont do. </p>

<p>We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true: </p>

<p>All men were created with certain </p>

<p>Unalienable rights! </p>

<p>Among these are life-liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness! </p>

<p>Its too late to apologize! </p>

<p>Its too late! </p>

<p>I said Its too late to apologize! </p>

<p>Its too late! </p>

<p>Its too late to apologize! </p>

<p>Its too late! </p>

<p>I said its too late apologize! </p>

<p>Its too late! </p>

<p>I said its too late to apologize! Yeah! </p>

<p>Its too late! </p>

<p>I said its too late to apologize, yeah! </p>

<p>Half-way across the globe </p>

<p>And we're standing on new ground </p>

Barack Obama said Sunday that the Indianapolis Colts "have to be favored" in the Super Bowl, even though he has a "soft spot" for the New Orleans Saints. (  <a href="http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/story?id=09000d5d81644392&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true">source </a> ) </p>

<p><br.<p>

<p><br />
<strong>Saints win Super Bowl, 31-17 over Colts</strong></p>

<p>Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last a 2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey for the winning points with 5:42 remaining, and was chosen the game's MVP.</p>

<blockquote>``We just believed in ourselves and we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us,'' Brees said. ``What can I say? I tried to imagine what this moment would be like for a long time and it's better than expected.''</blockquote>

<p>A surprise onside kick sparked the Saints' second-half comeback. Their 25th-ranked defense made several key stops, and Tracy Porter's 74-yard interception return on a pass from Manning, of all people, clinched it.</p>

<p>Manning tried to give chase, but was blocked by a New Orleans defender and fell awkwardly as the cornerback raced by. The four-time NFL MVP forlornly walked to the sideline as the Big Easy celebrations began.</p>

<blockquote>``It's time for the Saints to celebrate,'' he said. ``It's their field and it's their championship.''</blockquote>
