Who among us believes or even thinks that the economic recovery has begun ‘in-force?’ Offer then your proof of said recovery. What is the measure of economic prosperity? What amount of income does one person need to earn in order to be described as economically successful? How much earning power must be stripped away from productive society members in order to make the non-productive and the unwilling societal members economically prosperous? What are you willing to ‘give’ to those who won’t or refuse to produce? The White House and its spin doctors have once again hit the ‘campaign trail’ to tell us about the Emperor’s New Clothes – the Economic 0bamao Recovery. That sell is incredible. For those folks who are unfortunate and have lost their jobs – many have quit looking and have settled for lower-paying even part-time work that barely keeps food on the table. There are those who are still receiving their jobless benefits but are facing the very real probability that no job is available and they will find themselves in the aforementioned status. For those new to the jobless benefits they know that this is not what she or he wants. The net result is disillusionment with the charm, smiles and silvery rhetoric of ‘hope.’ For the sale that exists now is the empty message of ‘hope’ that socialism and a fundamentally changed capitalist system cannot bring. 0bamao is a liar and a misanthrope. He trusts only big government. He doesn’t care what you want or need. He knows there is no economic recovery that will allow you and me to be successful in our own definition of success. His desire is for your success to be tied to your neighbor’s inability to succeed. He wants you to give up the collective difference from who those who have more to those who want more. The problem lies in the fallaciousness of that reasoning. In our system those who own or provide the means of production provide also the jobs that produce tax revenues and economic success for those whom they employ. No government job produces tax revenues that sustain an economy. There must be production of goods and services that are sought by a consumer willing to pay for those good and services. Socialists like 0bamao don’t want that system. They want everyone’s economic salvation to be predicated upon everyone having the same level of ‘junk’ except of course those like him who know best what we need. In the words of Sharon Osbourne, “He’s barking mad.” Sharon would know that definition, she’s married to Ozzie. Realistically we are faced with a dilemma. Shall we be bold and rid ourselves of these ‘fleecers’ in the Fall 2010 midterm elections or shall we stand idly by scratching our heads wondering who’ll step up and ‘do it?’ There is no one else. It’s come down to this we must get our hands dirty, do the heavy and unpleasant lifting of eliminating the trash from our governance process. We won’t get them all in the first sweep but our next sweep will – 2012 can put the socialists into a deep sleep which should be familiar to them since they are somnambulistic dreamers of the 0bamao persuasion who have no cogent thoughts of their own.

Department of Justice Scofflaws
I have been struggling with the right words to describe my disbelief over the illegal behavior of the Department of Justice attorney, who has at the request of the 0bamao administration dropped the cases of voter intimidation against members of the New Black Panthers who threatened and intimidated voters during the 2008 elections. When I became old enough to vote I had to pay a ‘poll tax.’ The poll tax was meant to keep poor and black voters away from the ballot boxes. That was a pure form of voter intimidation and discrimination. I add to this that the Voter Rights Act of 1965 was already Federal law when I had to pay the ‘poll tax.’ Fast forward to this behavior by the Department of Justice and we see a revisiting of voter intimidation only it’s coming from a president who has sworn (by his own admission in his biography) to ignore his mother’s race because it represents oppression and thusly will intimidate anyone who comes to the voting place who is not black.
The political appointees swore an oath to uphold the laws of the land and now we learn that not only did the Department of Justice civil rights division attorney Thomas Perrelli choose to ignore the law but he did so in consultation with Cassandra Butts, former White House deputy counsel and Harvard classmate of 0bamao (aka CINCO - comrade-in-chief 0bama) whom she calls her dearest friend. Attorney General Eric Holder and his boss 0bamao (CINCO) have blatantly violated their oaths of office. 0bamao warned those who would vote for him and those who wouldn’t that he was out to fundamentally change America. His idea of fundamentally changing America is to ignore 234 years of learning to be a representative government. This nation is quickly becoming a thugocracy run by a despot, elected by the incapable and fawned over by the blinded left media sycophants.
If we stay away from the November elections we will get more of this. And if we turn out in force to reject their behavior they will act in ‘lame-duck-absentia’ to destroy this nation with their poison pill legislation. We must bite down hard on the bullet and get rid of this despot and his fawners.

Spin and Lie when all else fails
It looks as though CINCO (comrade-in-chief Obama) and his minions will be targeting the tax cuts put into effect after the 9-11 attacks as the reason that the economy is failing. When all else fails point the accusatory finger at Bush. There is a problem with that logic: the housing mortgage market imploded taking the economy with it. If you examine carefully the reasons behind the mortgage market implosion you will clearly see that its implosion had nothing to do with tax relief. The mortgage market imploded taking the main economies with it because of the failed lending practices put into place by the bereft policies that everyone, without regard to their ability to repay, deserved a mortgage. The sub-prime mortgage market was like the junk-bond market of the 1980s. When you change the fundamental rules of doing business and thereby protecting the lender and the borrowing public from extreme failures you are at risk for the total mortgage market failure. Guess what happened. Yep. The entire mortgage market failed taking down the economy which was threaded to the mortgage market domestically and internationally. Who changed the rules? It began with Jimmy Carter, William Proxmire and Paul Volcker. Think for a moment about the former president who has built a reputation on building ‘free homes’ for those who couldn’t afford to own a home. Carter. In successive years the predominantly Demokrat congress (house and senate) have loosened the controls and lowered the standards for mortgage lending practices as well as funding the quasi-governmental failures known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Remember too that it was Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Barney Frank (D-MA) who’ve been at the helm of making those fundamental changes. You cannot pin the failed economy on Bush without heaping blame on the Demokrat legacy of free housing at the tax-payers’ expense. Blaming Bush is like blaming a firefighter for the house burning down but that is the November tactic that is brewing in the gangster-riddled boiler room of the Chicago thug in the Whitehouse. Don’t sit around and listen to their lies. Stand up and challenge them wherever you find them. They want you to forget that it was the mortgage market that took down the economy and that THEY (CINCO included) precipitated the failure. From Alinsky’s rules for Radical, Rule #5 states, "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." The Demokrat plan of attack for the mid-term elections is to ridicule any conservative platform as failed Bush policy. Pay attention to this one as they will try repeatedly to convince you through ridicule, which they admit is irrational but it keeps their opponent off-balance. They are liars and market wreckers. That is what communists do.

Alinsky's Rules are in play again by Bolshevik Obama
From Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals:
RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon;"
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it;" CINCO (comrade-in-chief Obama), went on the attack again.
Yesterday CINCO (comrade-in-chief Obama), at the invitation of the Republicans, went to Maryland to talk (fight) with the House and Senate Republicans to prove to them and the world with cameras rolling that he is right and the Republicans are wrong. He continued his antagonistic rant against Republicans so virulently that he proved the points that have been made that he simply will not listen to anything a Republican has to say. He came to office as a ‘uniter’ by his own definition and what that really means is that he wants to unite his Bolsheviks under one banner instead of working for America. He said in the Spectacle of the Union speech that ‘we all love America.’ He lied. If he loved America he wouldn’t have made a world apology tour and he would have saluted the men and women who were murdered at Ft. Hood instead of holding his crotch. CINCO is a liar and a divider. He said to the Republicans that he heard their concerns about tort reform, defensive medicine and trade barriers among states regarding health insurance purchases and those things are in the bill. Which bill CINCO? Where is it that those elements have been included? You lie!
When you hear Demokrat strategists speak about this action by CINCO they applaud him - they have no desire to get along with Republicans or any conservative. They are in full attack mode with CINCO at the lead. Soros and Alinsky are flying the hammer and sickle.
What does he do today? He begins a brand new tactic and that is espousing the pilfered plank of too much spending. He stole a plank from Scott Brown's win and now he's riding in with the hammer and sickle flying to save us reckless spenders especially since none of us is smart enough to figure out what to do since we have already shown that we cannot be trusted to interpret a healthcare bill from behind a locked door.

Stand Up and Fight for our Nation!
Since Wednesday night we’ve been swarmed by pundits and their take on the Spectacle of the Union that CINCO (comrade-in-chief Obama) trotted out; his lies, his constant haranguing rhetoric about who’s to blame and his belief in his own messianic anointing. The American people deserve better than this empty suit. I did note however, that the American electorate so desperately wanted someone with silvery words and a willingness to step into the breach that they elected a shaped image that better reflects that of a hologram than a real leader. CINCO stood in front of Americans and denigrated us for not ‘understanding the healthcare legislation when not one senator or representative could admit that she or he had read the bills and understood them. In fact CICNO had not read the bills and when he challenged Republicans or anyone to come to his office and he would go over them line by line he didn’t keep his promise as Republicans lined up for that moment. CINCO’s behavior toward the Supreme Court was nothing less than despicable. He expects respect for his office but is unwilling to give the same respect to the Supreme Court.
Brothers and sisters of America the current president of the United States is a pretender, a liar and a communist who wants to destroy this nation. The time is growing short for action. Every member of Congress and the Senate who sees what he is attempting and are either helping in the overthrow or simply are looking out for her or his own political interests need to be voted out of office. It’s time for those who haven’t been involved in politics to rise up and take charge of this citizens' revolt against the destruction of America. Find a candidate or any issue and began swamping your senators or representative with the news that this is over. Stand up America and get involved – this is our future!

Spectacle of Lies
The State of the Union was a spectacle of lies. Taunting, mocking and lecturing Republicans to do what CINCO (comrade-in-chief Obama) wants. That is his philosophy of bi-partisanship. He tried to use the word ‘no’ as a tool of vindication and he took no responsibility for failure. He stated that he should have explained things better. We’ve had enough campaign speeches CINCO. What America needs and deserves is an honorable leader. You are a liar and a phony. There is no openness or transparency. Those are sheaves of lies and you know it. Two million jobs created or saved? Hardly, even the Congressional Budget Office states that there is no way to calculate that. Tax credits and incentives will not cut it. You need to cut taxes across the board and stop spending across the board. Congress needs to give back its pay raises and expense accounts.
CINCO you discredit the office of president, this nation and yourself. You are a disgrace. Your arrogant and condescending ways do nothing more than polarize this nation into factions. A lying coward that hides behind braver men and women than you’ll ever become. It’s best if you and Joe ‘Bribe-‘em’ leave office.

Liar-in-Chief redux
Tonight we will have the State of the Union spectacle. This person sitting in the highest office of the land delivers silvery throated rhetoric that makes my skin crawl. He epitomizes how Satan works, ‘seductively calling Eve to the forbidden fruit.’ His style is smarmy and disingenuous. You cannot believe anything that he says because as we have seen, it didn’t take more than a few days in office for him to realize that he was elected on charisma. He is an empty suit trying to be president. He is failing miserably and creating a greater gulf between voters. It must be his plan to cause civil war within our borders. He’s creating such enmity among folks that the only solution left will be for those who believe that others have more than they will be for the ‘less-thans’ to take from the ‘more-thans.’
America, please do not be fooled by this 21st century Bolshevik and the revolt that he fomenting. He wants nothing more than to turn this nation into a vassal state of the last standing communist power. His clueless approach to economics and his stable of wannabe economists and ‘money-experts’ have mangled the economy. Tonight he’s going to pull a Marie Antoinette stunt and say, ‘let them eat cake (spending freezes and tax credits).’ He’s going to tell us that he’s fighting for us. He lies. That’s the Chicago-way. With Gibbs, Jarrett and Emanuel on his close team of advisors and Plouffe now showing up to help the ‘anointed one’ campaign we can expect more spurious lies of the half-truth variety.
Remember what this liar says tonight. He does not have any interest but his own in mind. He is not a Christian, he is a socialist, and he is trying to destroy our nation.

"Why I am Not a Communist" by Betrand Russell
"Why I am Not a Communist"
by Betrand Russell
"I am completely at a loss to understand how it came about that some people who are both humane and intelligent could find something to admire in the vast slave camp produced by Stalin."
In relation to any political doctrine there are two questions to be asked: (1) Are its theoretical tenets true? (2) Is its practical policy likely to increase human happiness? For my part, I think the theoretical tenets of Communism are false, and I think its practical maxims are such as to produce an immeasurable increase of human misery.
The theoretical doctrines of Communism are for the most part derived from Marx. My objections to Marx are of two sorts: one, that he was muddle-headed; and the other, that his thinking was almost entirely inspired by hatred. The doctrine of surplus value, which is supposed to demonstrate the exploitation of wage-earners under capitalism, is arrived at: (a) by surreptitiously accepting Malthus's doctrine of population, which Marx and all his disciples explicitly repudiate; (b) by applying Ricardo's theory of value to wages, but not to the prices of manufactured articles. He is entirely satisfied with the result, not because it is in accordance with the facts or because it is logically coherent, but because it is calculated to rouse fury in wage-earners. Marx's doctrine that all historical events have been motivated by class conflicts is a rash and untrue extension to world history of certain features prominent in England and France a hundred years ago. His belief that there is a cosmic force called Dialectical Materialism which governs human history independently of human volitions, is mere mythology. His theoretical errors, however, would not have mattered so much but for the fact that, like Tertullian and Carlyle, his chief desire was to see his enemies punished, and he cared little what happened to his friends in the process.
Marx's doctrine was bad enough, but the developments which it underwent under Lenin and Stalin made it much worse. Marx had taught that there would be a revolutionary transitional period following the victory of the proletariat in a civil war and that during this period the proletariat, in accordance with the usual practice after a civil war, would deprive its vanquished enemies of political power. This period was to be that of the dictatorship of the proletariat. It should not be forgotten that in Marx's prophetic vision the victory of the proletariat was to come after it had grown to be the vast majority of the population. The dictatorship of the proletariat therefore as conceived by Marx was not essentially anti-democratic. In the Russia of 1917, however, the proletariat was a small percentage of the population, the great majority being peasants. it was decreed that the Bolshevik party was the class-conscious part of the proletariat, and that a small committee of its leaders was the class-conscious part of the Bolshevik party. The dictatorship of the proletariat thus came to be the dictatorship of a small committee, and ultimately of one man - Stalin. As the sole class-conscious proletarian, Stalin condemned millions of peasants to death by starvation and millions of others to forced labour in concentration camps. He even went so far as to decree that the laws of heredity are henceforth to be different from what they used to be, and that the germ-plasm is to obey Soviet decrees but that that reactionary priest Mendel. I am completely at a loss to understand how it came about that some people who are both humane and intelligent could find something to admire in the vast slave camp produced by Stalin.
I have always disagreed with Marx. My first hostile criticism of him was published in 1896. But my objections to modern Communism go deeper than my objections to Marx. It is the abandonment of democracy that I find particularly disastrous. A minority resting its powers upon the activities of secret police is bound to be cruel, oppressive and obscurantist. The dangers of the irresponsible power cane to be generally recognized during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but those who have forgotten all that was painfully learnt during the days of absolute monarchy, and have gone back to what was worst in the middle ages under the curious delusion that they were in the vanguard of progress.
There are signs that in course of time the Russian régime will become more liberal. But, although this is possible, it is very far from certain. In the meantime, all those who value not only art and science but a sufficiency of bread and freedom from the fear that a careless word by their children to a schoolteacher may condemn them to forced labour in a Siberian wilderness, must do what lies in their power to preserve in their own countries a less servile and more prosperous manner of life.
There are those who, oppressed by the evils of Communism, are led to the conclusion that the only effective way to combat these evils is by means of a world war. I think this a mistake. At one time such a policy might have been possible, but now war has become so terrible and Communism has become so powerful that no one can tell what would be left after a world war, and whatever might be left would probably be at least as bad as present -day Communism. This forecast does not depend upon the inevitable effects of mass destruction by means of hydrogen and cobalt bombs and perhaps of ingeniously propagated plagues. The way to combat Communism is not war. What is needed in addition to such armaments as will deter Communists from attacking the West, is a diminution of the grounds for discontent in the less prosperous parts of the non-communist world. In most of the countries of Asia, there is abject poverty which the West ought to alleviate as far as it lies in its power to do so. There is also a great bitterness which was caused by the centuries of European insolent domination in Asia. This ought to be dealt with by a combination of patient tact with dramatic announcements renouncing such relics of white domination as survive in Asia. Communism is a doctrine bred of poverty, hatred and strife. Its spread can only be arrested by diminishing the area of poverty and hatred.
from Portraits from Memory published in 1956
While Russell was a philosopher and logician (aka dreamer) he was practical. He was a socialist and I thought that reading his thoughts on a nanny/totalitarian state under the guise of socialism might be helpful. Dr. Russell's opinions are not mine - we share intersections in thought.
Socialism/communism
I felt that it is necessary to review again the tenets of socialism/communism:
Marx described three necessary phases toward achieving his ideal state (Summarized from the communist manifesto).
Phase 1: A revolution must take place in order to overthrow the existing government. Marx emphasized the nee¬d for total destruction of the existing system in order to move on to Phase 2.
Phase 2: A dictator or elite leader (or leaders) must gain absolute control over the proletariat. During this phase, the new government exerts absolute control over the common citizen's personal choices -- including his or her education, religion, employment and even marriage. Collectivization of property and wealth must also take place.
Phase 3: Achievement of utopia. This phase has never been attained because it requires that all non-communists be destroyed in order for the Communist Party to achieve supreme equality. In a Marxist utopia, everyone would happily share property and wealth, free from the restrictions that class-based systems require. The government would control all means of production so that the one-class system would remain constant, with no possibility of any middle class citizens rising back to the top.
Marx also detailed the 10 essential tenets of communism:
• Central banking system
• Government controlled education
• Government controlled labor
• Government ownership of transportation and communication vehicles
• Government ownership of agricultural means and factories
• Total abolition of private property
• Property rights confiscation
• Heavy income tax on everyone
• Elimination of rights of inheritance
• Regional planning
Use this as a checklist with Congress, the Senate and CINCO.

Bolshevik Liar - NO TRANSPARENCY!!
Transparency, what does it mean? Let’s go to the dictionary, “1 a(1) having the property of transmitting light without appreciable scattering so that bodies lying beyond are seen clearly : PELLUCID (2) : allowing the passage of a specified form of radiation (as X rays or ultraviolet light) b : fine or sheer enough to be seen through : DIAPHANOUS; 2 a free from pretense or deceit : FRANK b easily detected or seen through : OBVIOUS c readily understood.” Hmmm…free from pretense or deceit. Sheer enough to be seen through.
In light of CINCO’s (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) current charades on healthcare and climate change exactly when does he plan on allowing the rest of Congress (non-Demokrat) and the citizens of this Republic to be part of his totalitarian makeover of our nation? CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) IS A LIAR AND IS NOT KEEPING HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO HAVE THE MOST TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT EVER. THE ONLY THING TRUTHFUL ABOUT HIS PLANS IS THAT IT IS TRANSPARENT TO EVERYONE THAT HIS PLANS ARE THE TAKEOVER OF THIS NATION BY COMMUNISTS AND HIS COMRADES IN BOLSHEVISM.

Baucus and His girlfriend
“Baucus: Girlfriend merited US attorney nomination
Published: 12/6/09, 3:45 AM EDTBy MATTHEW DALY
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus defended recommending his girlfriend for appointment as Montana's U.S. attorney, saying Saturday his one-time staff member and the former state prosecutor is "highly qualified" but eventually withdrew her nomination. Baucus said that he began dating former state office director Melodee Hanes after they were both separated from their spouses. The Montana Democrat said they did not have an affair, but began dating while she worked for him.
Hanes received her Justice job after applying "independently," Baucus said. "Not surprisingly to anyone who's looked at her resume, (Hanes) got the DOJ job on her merit," he said.”
Please forgive my cynicism here. They began dating after they separated? Are they the reasons for the separation from their former spouses? Does anyone believe that Hanes got her Federal job on her own merits without Baucus’s help? The LIBERAL MEDIA will let this slide. Like they let Barney ‘Fwank’ and his Fannie Mae lover were let off the hook!!

Global Warming Scam!
Global Warming Scam! The Wall Street Journal published some interesting findings after the ‘leading climate change scientific unit in the world’ had its email servers hacked and the contents scoured. Here’s a quote, “Yet even a partial review of the emails is highly illuminating. In them, scientists appear to urge each other to present a "unified" view on the theory of man-made climate change while discussing the importance of the "common cause"; to advise each other on how to smooth over data so as not to compromise the favored hypothesis; to discuss ways to keep opposing views out of leading journals; and to give tips on how to "hide the decline" of temperature in certain inconvenient data.” What I find fascinating is that these ‘scientists who supposedly use deductive reasoning aka the scientific method, want to smooth over the data to keep alive the theory of man-made climate (aka global warming) Not much science here just lies.
CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) is pushing Cap-and-Trade legislation to punish America and he’s going to Copenhagen where the idiot science of Al Gore will be further perpetrated on the world. The unqualified and undereducated voters of this country have elected a village idiot from Kenya or Indonesia or somewhere to be the president. People we have to fix this problem. We need to elect a president whose moral character isn’t for sale and one who believes in the premise and endurance of foundational America.
Lies all lies CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) – have you no shame? You stood at West Point in what your sycophant Chris the commie Matthews calls the ‘enemy camp’ and lied about the Afghan War. Now you’re jetting to Copenhagen for what? Some Danish? Stop the lying and get down to the business of cutting taxes and true economic recovery. Jettison the theft and robbery plan called healthcare reform because foundational and original believers of this Nation will take back the Congress and the Executive branches by ballot.

Liar-in-Chief
CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) made his Afghanistan speech at West Point and MSNBC’s Chris Matthews says Obamao was in the ‘enemy’s camp.’ WHAT?! Young men and women who have committed to becoming leaders of character are now referred to as the enemy? So Matthews apologizes again but here’s the problem he does this all the time and none of objects of his ‘leg-tingling’ affection denounces his rhetoric. Obamao did believe that he was in the enemy camp as does Matthews. He isn’t sorry for anything! This is outrageous. Obamao encourages the Taliban and al Qaeda to wait eighteen months to takeover…just in time for a new election campaign war-footing slogan that surely will say that he was just trying to extinguish a failed GWB war strategy. They already threw Robert Gates under the bus in the speech saying that he refused more troops in Afghanistan. Who’s next? I guess Gates has found out what the rest of the ‘proletariat’ (we lesser mortals) know – no one is safe under Obamao.

Watchdog warning about TV in post-Soviet states

By VERONIKA OLEKSYN
VIENNA (AP) - Government-influenced television is hampering democracy in Russia, Belarus and most post-Soviet countries in Central Asia and the South Caucasus, and it could endanger international peace and security if misused as a propaganda tool, a watchdog warned Thursday. Miklos Haraszti, the outgoing media freedom representative at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said even TV stations that are not directly state-owned are often in the hands of people close to those in power. "We cannot speak about free elections, we cannot speak about true democracies where most people get most of their information from television that is either quite firmly in governmental hands or, if privatized, then in the hands of cronies or even families of governmental leaders," Haraszti said. "Or if (the countries) nominally have public service broadcasting, then it is in fact just a propaganda tool for the government."
Government influenced television – not overtly owned by the government but strongly influenced. Sort of makes a tingle run up your leg doesn’t it MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and NBC? You guys get all giggly over Obamao don’t you? Isn’t this the kind of country you want where the press is simply a mouthpiece of the government?

The Louisiana Purchase
You've probably heard about this. I've read it and I heard Ms. Landrieu say these things repeating her statements and what happened is a sign of the corruption that is festering is Washington:
"Posted by Erick Erickson (Red State)
Sunday, November 22nd at 8:15PM EST
Back in the old days, people would at least look ashamed when caught being bribed, but not Mary Landrieu. It’s being called the Louisiana Purchase. Senator Harry Reid put a provision on the health care plan that originally called for $100 million to be funneled to Louisiana exclusively.
Mary Landrieu refused to vote for cloture on the motion to proceed to the health care debate. Reid raised the offer to $300 million and Mary proved she wasn’t a cheap date after all — she took the increase, voted for cloture, and then bragged about the $300 million bribe.
In a statement sure to be repeated by Republicans endlessly over the coming weeks of Senate health care debate, the senator flaunted the inclusion of the provision. “I will correct something. It’s not $100 million, it’s $300 million, and I’m proud of it and will keep fighting for it,” Landrieu told reporters after her floor speech. “But that is not why I started this health care debate; I started this health care debate for all the reasons I just mentioned in my statement” on the floor."
These are our tax dollars that the idiots: Harry Reid, Max Baucus, Chuckie Schumer, Chris 'buy-me-a-house' Dodd, Dufus Durbin et al are voting to spend. Our money. They are cheating, lying and stealing our money!!! This has gone from slightly socialist to completely insane. The only way I can understand this whole tax and spend mentality is is wonder what Obamao offered the Chinese Communists to hold our debt. Let me guess - Chinese military installations in its new satellite. Wake up America before we become Amerika the land that once was.

Senate communists assured of 60 votes to debate health bill
Just in from the communist takeover leaders in the Senate:
Senate Democrats assured of 60 votes to debate health bill
Published: 11/21/09, 4:00 PM EDT
From Ed Hornick, CNN
Washington (CNN) - Senate Democrat Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas said Saturday she will support bringing the Senate health care reform bill to the floor for debate, giving Democrats the 60 votes they need to prevent a Republican filibuster. "Although I don't agree with everything in this bill, I believe it is important to begin this debate," she said. "This issue is very complex. There is no easy fix," she said in making her announcement on the Senate floor, just hours before Saturday night's 8 p.m. procedural vote. Earlier Saturday, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, became the 59th lawmaker to agree to vote for debate. But she added a caveat on the floor of the Senate: "My vote today to move forward on this important debate should in no way be construed by the supporters of this current framework as an indication of how I might vote as this debate comes to an end. "It is a vote to move forward to continue the good and essential and important and imperative work that is under way."
Sixty votes are needed to move the controversial bill to the floor for discussion. The legislative body is expected to vote Saturday night. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid introduced the Senate version of the health care bill on Wednesday. The House passed its version two weeks ago. Reid says the 2,074-page bill would expand health insurance coverage to 30 million more Americans at an estimated cost of $849 billion over 10 years.
Proceedings got under way shortly before 10 a.m. Saturday and will last through the early evening. Around 8 p.m., the Senate will hold a roll call vote on the motion to invoke cloture. Reid needs 60 votes to overcome a certain GOP filibuster attempt and open the chamber's debate on the bill. It also would take 60 votes to close debate that could last for weeks, while final approval of the bill would require only a simple majority. Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said it would be a "real break" if even one Republican got on board with Democrats. Three moderate Democrats -- Landrieu, Lincoln and Ben Nelson of Nebraska -- had kept party leaders guessing. Reid met Wednesday with the three, who have expressed concerns about the cost and scope of health care reform proposals.
Senate Democrats assured of 60 votes to debate health bill

Washington (CNN) - Senate Democrat Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas said Saturday she will support bringing the Senate health care reform bill to the floor for debate, giving Democrats the 60 votes they need to prevent a Republican filibuster. "Although I don't agree with everything in this bill, I believe it is important to begin this debate," she said. "This issue is very complex. There is no easy fix," she said in making her announcement on the Senate floor, just hours before Saturday night's 8 p.m. procedural vote. Earlier Saturday, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, became the 59th lawmaker to agree to vote for debate. But she added a caveat on the floor of the Senate: "My vote today to move forward on this important debate should in no way be construed by the supporters of this current framework as an indication of how I might vote as this debate comes to an end.

Senator Graham and Attorney General Holder
Senator Graham rightfully throws AG Holder in a position of accountability on the Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial being moved to a civilian criminal court and AG Holder has no where to run. Click on this Youtube link and turn up the volume:

Senate and House Thieves!!!
For some reason the lunatics in Congress (the House and Senate) seem to think that they can pass whatever laws they want and have no accountability for that passage. WRONG! Senator Reid is now determining to go after your 401k and your retirement income to pay for this outrageous theft and nationalization of the healthcare industry. He’s decided to tax the wealthy seniors. Who are those wealthy seniors? Those who have 401k and IRA accounts with more than $100,000 in them. Get ready the socialism express is rolling through your neighborhood and you are going to be punished for not trusting in social security to provide your retirement income. The ugly part of this is that is he plans to cut Medicare benefits and ROB seniors of their retirement income to fund this takeover.
CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM TO SAY “NO!” TO HARRY REID’S THEFT. THIS IS CRIMINAL.

Yuletide Trees?
Below I’ve listed the lyrics to the Yuletide Carol, “Deck the Halls.” Yule or Yule-tide is a winter festival that was initially celebrated by the historical Germanic peoples as a pagan religious festival. Notice that the lyrics make no reference to Christ or Christmas. The practice of burning a Yule log is pagan not Christian. The reason I bring this up is that Home Depot is now referring to Christmas Trees as Yuletide Trees. Last year they called them Holiday Trees. CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) and his pagan family are referring to the Whitehouse Christmas tree as the Holiday tree. Home Depot and CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) are determined to alienate Christians. You’re both doing a great job of that!! Another reason not to shop at Home Depot and NOT to vote for CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama).
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel.
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
See the blazing Yule before us.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure.
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
While I tell of Yuletide treasure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Fast away the old year passes.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new ye lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous all together.
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel.
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
See the blazing Yule before us.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Communist takeover of Healthcare and the government
The House of Representatives voted to bankrupt the nation, raise our taxes to all time highs and destroy the United States of America to the levels of a third world country all because CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) and the Congressional communists cannot stand free enterprise. They function in a world where creativity and innovation means finding new ways to steal money from creative, hardworking Americans. There was and is a saying, “Those who can do and those who can’t teach.” It has become the norm now that those who can produce and those who can’t politik.”
Call, write, email and send facsimiles to your Senators NOW! Stop this theft of American innovation, productivity and free enterprise.
