THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS - SEVEN SCORE AND SIX YEARS AGO A REAL PRESIDENT SOUGHT TO UNITE AMERICA

November 19, 1863 President Abraham Lincoln stood before a crowd of people at the dedication of a National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Just a few short months before on July 1-3 The Union Army under the command of Major General George Meade met the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of General Robert E. Lee and before the battle was finished the bloodiest days ever fought on our soil would leave more than 50, 000 casualties at the Battle of Gettysburg.

Lincoln was not the main speaker of the day. In fact his invitation was actually an after thought to the dedication and he was asked to deliver a," few appropriate words." The great orator Edward Everett had delivered his usual masterful oration lasting more than two hours. Lincoln quietly rose and spoke for just two minutes. The crowd of nearly 20,000 made no response to Lincoln's words because of the awe they felt from what they had heard. The President thought he had failed. Yet his two minute speech is is considered one of the immortal speeches of all time. Everett commented after ward that Lincoln had said more in two minutes than he had in two hours.

In his," few appropriate words," Lincoln sought to unite a Nation devastated by Civil War. He sought to honor those who, "gave the last full measure of devotion," on the now famous battlefield. He sought to encourage Americans that the Nation would survive and be better as a result of the pangs of such a war. Lincoln succeeded in all he sought with the immortal words of the Gettysburg Address.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate...we can not consecrate...we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

146 years ago a real President leading a divided country sought to unite the greatest divide our Nation has known in a," few appropriate words." Today a pretender to the Presidency seeks to divide a Nation and take us down a path that Lincoln gave his life to unite and to find a rebirth of freedom.

SARAH PALIN'S, "GOING ROGUE," TOUR STOPS IN WITH RUSH LIMBAUGH

Sarah Palin is making her much anticipated book tour with the release of her equally anticipated book, "Going Rogue." Well before the book was published pre-sales alone placed it at the top of the best seller list and I am sure that it will remain there for some time now that the book has been released. I have not read it yet but plan to. It is on my Christmas list, but I may not wait until then to purchase it.

Governor Palin has granted numerous interviews in conjunction with the book tour and one of her stops was the EIB Network and Rush Limbaugh. The interview is above in three parts. I did not get to listen to the interview on the radio but did read the transcript and Rush asked some excellent and very policy related questions. Palin's answer were detailed and show her grasp of the issues and her common sense conservative values and ideas for solving what our Nation faces today. An excellent interview which shows just how good Sarah Palin is and debunks her critics that unjustifiably try to label her as unintelligent and out of touch.

Of course the left only attacks those they fear the most and Sarah Palin obviously strikes great fear because of her staunch conservatism and her true and sincere concern for our country as well as her ability to connect with the majority of everyday Americans.

FORT HOOD TERRORIST NIDAL HASAN, SUING FOR EXCESSIVE FORCE

The First Tourist is making yet another world tour and his policies are taking this Nation down a path never intended by our Founders. The 9/11 terrorists are being treated as common criminals and brought to trial in a civilian court in the very city where their acts of Jihad were carried out.

And if all of this isn't enough to make you pull your hair out it is now being reported that Nidal Hasan, the Muslim terrorist who went on a murderous rampage at Fort Hood, Texas and unfortunately survived, will be crippled because of the wounds received from the brave actions of Officer Kimberly Munley and because he was shot four times rather than just two, Hasan is suing Officer Munley for, "excessive force."

UNBELIEVABLE! Who cares if Hasan will be crippled for the rest of his despicable life prior to execution for the murder of 14 people at Fort Hood. Yet his attorney calls this Islamic terrorist thug a victim and stated when announcing the suit, "My client, Mr Hasan was at the wrong place and the wrong time, and now has become the victim himself," Dewey added. "I mean, was it really necessary to pump four bullets into the man? Wouldn't one have been sufficient? Two at the most?"

Hasan was shouting, "Allahu Akbar, god is great," while firing in every direction possible to kill as many as his bullets could, reloading and the firing again in a terrorist rampage as Officer Munley placed her life on the line, being shot in the process and took out a crazed mad man with four shots. Now this Islamic murderer is being called a victim by an attorney who obviously has no conscience or sense of principle. I feel quite sure that the idea of a law suit did not initially come from Hasan but from the unscrupulous attorney and Hasan whose very act of terrorism was designed to make him look the victim of religious persecution was an all to willing accomplice to this disgusting and uncalled for law suit.

Any court that actually accepts this case or even considers it with any seriousness, in my opinion, like the attorney is guilty of being an accomplice to this terrorist act after the fact by promoting the victim hood of an Islamic extremist whose full intent was to murder innocents as a religious and political statement.

The law suit development comes to light as the Senate has announced that scheduled hearings into the terrorist attack have been requested to be postponed BY THE WHITE HOUSE. In the immediate after math Barack Obama called for a complete investigation yet now that the light of daily press scrutiny has dimmed on the shootings, he calls for a postponement by the Senate. The Senate Armed Services Committee has caved to the request.

Fortunately Senator Joe Lieberman is standing on principle and has announced that he will continue with the scheduled hearings on Thursday from his Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In a statement released after the White House request Lieberman said, "Our goal, and the purpose of this inquiry, is to make as certain as possible that no such attack ever occurs again on an American military base. We will focus on national and homeland security and will not compromise the criminal case being conducted by law enforcement." Good for your Senator Lieberman!

Is the Obama administration afraid that a complete investigation will reveal that this was a terrorist attack despite official denials and that the weakness of Obama policy contributed to this happening ? My guess is that the answer to this question is yes. A complete failure in following through on know information about Hasan greatly contributed to the attack. Now the law suit trying to victimize this Islamic murderer adds to the total break down which resulted in the terrorist murder of 14 at Fort Hood, Texas.

BARACK OABAMA, THE CLOCKS ARE TICKING - BY RADENA

...and playing patriotic music.

Last Wednesday was Veterans Day but our town clock is still playing patriotic songs and many more flags are still flying. While in the Church last Saturday setting up for Sunday's service it played "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and several other patriotic songs. On Sundays it plays Christian Songs. I don't know what it plays on most Saturdays as I'm not usually in town on a Saturday. Last Saturday was an exception.

So why do I tell you this? What does it have to do with the price of tea in China America, right? What I'm leading up to is the fact that it's not only this one town in the middle of Central Texas that does this. There are thousands of small towns all over America that are still patriotic and don't emulate San Francisco, New York City, or anywhere else in the USA where the far-left loony-toons have taken over. The great majority of Americans are still patriotic, they still love this country and our military, and they absolutely detest what Obama is doing to us. That is why most Americans who pay attention to the news watch Fox News and not traitorous stations that know nothing about journalism, patriotism, truth or even justice, and I know you know which ones they are.

Obama and his motley crew don't know who they are messing with. They are messing with the grass roots of America and when the clock plays "When Johnny comes marching home" and I sing the words...

When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home!

... I feel ecstatic when our troops return home safe from a long tour at the front of a horrible war. I feel gay, and good and sentimental and by all that's holy and dear I want the word "gay" to mean what it used to mean!

I've noticed no one uses it anymore except when referring to homosexuals. How disgusting is that? But I digress.

Bottom line, watch out Obama. You are messing with our Constitution, our Freedom and our individual right to personal achievement. You are messing with the working man and woman's paychecks and wasting our taxpayer dollars. You are messing with our children, both born and unborn! You are deliberately messing up out nation and even though you and your cronies ignore our teaparties and our rallies and try to undermine conservative critics who vehemently disagree with your idiotic policies you are climbing up a rope that sooner or later will break. You are steadily losing the support of moderate Democrats and your party is divided. You are messing with our military and undermining America by not allowing military tribunals for Muslim Terrorists.

You are steadily undermining everything that is good and decent about America, but we who you consider beneath you, we are watching and our town clocks are not only playing patriotic music, our clocks are ticking and come election time in 2010 you will have your hands tied behind your back because real Americans will do everything in their power to take back the House and the Senate. Your days where you can continue to make a laughing stock out of America are numbered.

KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMED, OBAMA PROCLAIMED CITIZEN OF NEW YORK FOR THE SHOW TRIAL OF THE CENTURY- THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

Terrorism is no longer considered an act of war in The United States. Just as it was before 9/11 it is once again a criminal act thanks to the weakness and imbecilic decisions of Barack Obama. On Friday Attorney General Eric Holder announced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the confessed mastermind behind 9/11 and four other 9/11 terrorists would be moved to New York City and displayed before the world in a civil trial. Granted all of the rights and privileges of the Constitution and treated in the same manner as if they were citizens of New York the scene of their Islamic fanatic accomplishment.

Of course when this announcement was made, like previous extremely controversial announcements, Barack Obama was overseas, where he spends most of his time acting like the President of the world. When asked about the decision to hold the trial in New York, Obama passed the buck as he always has to Eric Holder feigning ignorance to the decision. First let's get one thing straight. As Attorney General and a member of the Cabinet, Holder makes NO decisions of this magnitude without direct permission and orders from his boss Barack Hussein Obama. So this decision was not Holders, it was Obama's.

By making the announcement while overseas the gutless politician avoided the heat of the immediate after math of not only an unpopular decision but a decision which has dangerous ramifications for our country. Like everything that Obama has done since becoming President, if he cannot get praise for it he avoids it and passes the buck. So on this, the most disgusting decision of his Presidency he heads over seas so he can bow to Emperors and reap praise from his Asian and European socialist fans.

In his announcement Holder claimed that by having the trial in New York, terrorists who planned 9/11 will, "finally," get the trial they have deserved. Yet the terrorist who planned the bombing of the USS Cole face a military tribunal and not a civil trial like the planner of 9/11 which was a much more devastating act than the Cole. Which begs to ask the question why the difference on trail proceedings ?

The 9/11 trial being made public gives the Obama administration the opportunity to do what they have wanted to do since day one. This travesty will allow the intelligence personnel, intelligence gathering capabilities and especially the Bush administration to be publicly, "tried," without directly bringing any of the participants directly to trial.

Attorneys for the now, "citizen," defendants will claim that Miranda rights were not given. They will place water boarding and other interrogation techniques used on these Islamic fanatics on the witness stand for the whole world to see. Confidential intelligence information necessary for the protection of our Nation will be displayed as evidence. In fact I am quite sure that Holder himself has the inside scoop of the direction that the defense will be taking since the attorneys for these Muslim killers are from Holder's former law firm.

In this, what will soon be circus trial the whole world will be privy to US secrets and the Fanatical Muslim types will cheer as their, "heroes," are publicly displayed for martyrdom. The headlines of every Jihad newspaper will be filled with twisted facts that will be garnered from the trial proclaiming the injustice of the infidel and the glory of Allah. This travesty will become the greatest recruitment tool for Al Qaeda and terrorism in general that the world has ever seen.

The hell that this public trial will be for the city of New York and especially the families of the 9/11 victims will be beyond description. Of course this isn't the first time Obama has shown a total lack of sensitivity to New York. Remember the Air Force One flyover that Obama feigned ignorance about ?

Holder and advocates of this New York show trial have defended this by comparing it to the trial of the first World Trade Center bombing. A trial that lasted four years and was also a circus which relived the attack everyday in the media before a conviction was gained. A major difference between the two trial is that we were not at war with the, "defendants," and they were captured on US soil. The 9/11 terrorists were captured in Afghanistan and were captured as a result of the war therefore are enemy combatants which historically are tried by military tribunal.

This stupidity on the part of the Obama administration in taking enemy combatants of this magnitude to a civilian trial can be compared to taking Admiral Yamamoto, the,"mastermind," of Pearl Harbor, and had he survived the war placing him on trail in a civilian court in Honolulu. Or placing Herman Goering before a German civilian court rather than the Nuremberg military tribunal which convicted him to death by hanging for his war crimes.

To top of this travesty advocates of this show trial in answer to the danger that the trial places on the City of New York, flippantly state that New York is always a target so why should this trial make a difference. Once again displaying a total lack of sensitivity to the City and the citizens of the Big Apple. Sure New York is a prime target for terrorists, everybody knows this but to flippantly pass it off is disgusting.

Though a known target the trial will INCREASE New York's already high terrorist profile. Now Judges, jurors and law enforcement who participate in the trial will become targets for Jihad assassination because of their participation. While New York is and will be prepared for a large scale attack during the trial, there is no way they can prevent a lone assassin from fulfilling his Jihad and martyrdom attempting to possibly kill a Judge or juror. Look at how easily Nidal Hasan killed 14 on a secure military base at Fort Hood in another Islamic terrorist attack.

Since taking office Barack Obama has had a long series of stupid and damaging decisions. This show trial for the 9/11 terrorists tops them all. It is a total political move designed to display Bush administration policy and intelligence procedures which Obama has not been able to successfully pursue because of public and political opposition. This along with his lame response to the Fort Hood terrorist attack and the denial of the reality of it being an Islamic terrorism incident, his delays in prosecuting the war in Afghanistan all emphasis Obama's lack of resolve
against terrorism, his weakness in defending this Nation and his total lack of concern for the safety and well being of the people of The United States.

WHY WERE 14 PEOPLE KILLED AT FORT HOOD ? BECAUSE OFFICIALS AT WALTER REED PASSED THE BUCK - BY RADENA

(UPDATE: I changed the title of this post because one of the women who was murdered was pregnant. Her baby was a person too! The MSM has apparently forgotten about that as they're only counting 13 people as having been killed.)

Please read this article from National Public Radio (NPR): Walter Reed Officials Asked: Was Hasan Psychotic? The information in it is astounding and disgusting!

It's now evident that many people at Walter Reed knew there was something very wrong with Nidal Hasan and that by not objecting to his transfer to Fort Hood they passed the buck. I don't care what rank he wore, I refuse to call him "Major".

Here's a condensed version of the four reasons that he was transferred to Fort Hood:

1. The process at Walter Reed for expelling doctors is "lengthy and cumbersom." Hello? So is the grieving process people must suffer when a loved one is murdered!

2. This one is political correctness gone berserk: Some supervisors worried they might be "discriminating against Hasan because of his seemingly extremist beliefs."

3. Walter Reed officials that were involved in the deliberations were "not aware, as some top Walter Reed officials were, that intelligence analysts had been tracking Hasan's e-mails with at least one suspected Islamic extremist since December 2008."

4. This reason, at least in my mind, is the poorest of all: Because Fort Hood has more psychiatrists than some other Army bases, officials figured he'd be monitored more closely there.

Bottom line... Walter Reed officials didn't want to deal with it. They were afraid of being accused of discrimination. Just pass him off to Fort Hood and let them deal with this jackass - we don't have time for it! And what makes it even more apparent that they were passing the buck is the article says that his work was substandard at Walter Reed. What on earth gave them the idea Ft. Hood would want him?

I know I'm beating this one to death, but I can't seem to let it go. I want people who let this miserable cretin slip through their fingers to pay some sort of price for it! Thirteen people are dead and many others wounded because of the idiotic reasons listed above? Dear God, what is happening to us?

And to top it all off, we have Obama, the Commander in Chief and his left-wing cronies refusing to Call Ft. Hood Massacre an Act of Terror! It makes me want to puke!

"Commander in Chief" and "Obama" in the same sentence sounds like a very bad joke. This was terrorism and it could have been prevented... it should have been prevented!

A criminal complaint says 32-year-old Jonathan Martin of Sissonville jumped into the car, and Malik grabbed the keys from the ignition. The complaint says Martin punched the boy, who fell out of the car with the keys. Martin ran away and was caught a short time later. Malik's brothers — ages 3, 19 months and 4 months — were in safety seats and were unharmed.

VETERANS DAY AND EVERYDAY, THANK A VET

They forged a nation by their sacrifice and blood at places like Lexington, Trenton, Camden and Yorktown. They defended the Capitol in 1812 and in that same century fought in unlikely places like Resaca de la Palmae , Rio San Gabriel in Mexico, Gettysburg, Shilo, and Antietam. They suffered in the muddy trenches of Europe in WWI and stormed the beaches of Normandy, Anzio, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa in WWII. Korea found them at Inchon and Pork Cop Hill and Vietnam sent them to Hamburger Hill, Song Be and the, " Hanoi Hilton."

They combed the seas and skies during the Cold War while in a state of readiness , watching the moves of , "the Big Red Dog." They liberated Kuwait and have fought in the Middle East once again at Fallujah, Bagdhad, and the mountains of Afghanistan. They have served in Germany, Japan, and every nation in the free world as well as thousands of posts throughout The United States. While the Founding Fathers are the authors of our Nation, Veterans are the defenders and the protectors of our freedoms and liberties.

They never left home to be heroes, but in defending this nation that is what they became. Some sought excitement and just the opportunity of leaving home. While others left because of a sense of duty. Not one ever knowing what was in store nor whether they would return home but knowing that service to their country was something they had to do.

They said goodbye to sweethearts, wives, children, moms, dads, friends and neighbors not knowing when they would meet again but left everyone with the assurance that they were doing what they felt was right and necessary for them and the nation they loved. Some never made it home , while others returned troubled by what they experienced or disabled because of wounds received. Many would not talk of what they had seen but all understood that the sacrifice they made was not in vain and helped to keep this Nation and their loved ones free.

Each of us owe a dept of gratitude to these silent heroes that this Nation and her people will never be able to repay. For it is through their sacrifice and commitment that we live and breath in the free air of liberty. With their lives these brave men and women have paid for our liberties by their blood. Through their sweat and determination they fought for a country that they loved and in principles they not only believed in but were willing to lay down their life to defend.

It is because of their sacrifice that we remain free. It is because of their willingness to serve that we are strong and a Nation of greatness. It is because of their dedication to the cause of liberty that we bask in the light of that Statue in the Harbor that calls to the world, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

Each morning we wake in this Nation of the free we owe a debt of thanks to a Vet! As we live and perform our daily tasks we owe a Vet ! When our children leave on the bus in the morning or we drop them off at school we owe their freedom to receive an education to a Vet! When we wake on Sunday mornings and leave for our place of worship we owe that freedom to a Vet ! When we play at Yosemite or in the waves that hit our shores we owe that liberty to a Vet ! When we turn on the tube and root for our favorite NFL , MLB or NBA team or join the fans in the stadiums we owe that enjoyment to a Vet ! When we cash that paycheck or make an investment for the future of our family we owe that financial freedom to a Vet !

When we stand in tribute to the flag that waves in the breeze we owe the very fact that that flag still waves to a Vet ! Our Veterans have served, sacrificed and yes many have died to insure that this Nation will always be free and that each of us who call America home can live free and never worry that those freedoms will be threatened by a foreign power, or military force without their intervention and protection.

While they never sought to be heroes each of them throughout our history have become heroes as they served this Nation and her people throughout the world and here at home. From the beginning our Veterans have told us, " while I serve you will never need worry because I am on watch !"

We owe each of them so much more than we can ever give. They are among us wherever we go in this land and at every opportunity we should tell them how much we appreciate all that they have given for our Nation and our people. Then watch the glimmer in the eye shine with pride just because we said, "thank you !"

They never ask for that thanks but when it is given it causes a swell of pride for a job well done and a service that has kept us free. Today and everyday where ever they may be and whenever we meet them be sure to thank a Vet because we owe them for our freedom, our liberty and the very existence of our Nation!

FORT HOOD TERRORIST HASAN CONTACTED AL QAEDA AND WAS PART OF OBAMA HOMELAND SECURITY TASK FORCE DURING TRANSITION

It is past time to quit beating around the bush and finding lame excuses like ,"post traumatic stress syndrome," for the murdering Islamic terrorist rampage by Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood last week. Evidence is mounting more everyday that not only did Hasan kill in the name of Allah but had connections with known Al Qaeda operatives.

ABC News is reporting that Hasan was contacting Al Qaeda recruiters in Yemen and not only did the CIA know it but had informed Army intelligence yet Hasan was still promoted from Captain to Major and transferred to Fort Hood in preparation for deployment to Afghanistan. Evidence has also been found that Hasan attended the same Mosque that was used by several 9/11 hijackers and was in attendance at the Mosque when the 9/11 Islamic killers were there.

Eyewitnesses of the terrorist rampage at Fort Hood have reported that Hasan calmly shot those who he killed and wounded and reloaded several times. While shooting he was also quoted as yelling, "Allahu Akbar, god is great" as he was killing soldiers and civilians. Hasan's actions in the days leading up to the terrorist attack were also similar to the activities of the 9/11 killers, such as saying goodbye to friends, giving away personal possessions and visiting strip clubs.

The political correctness both in the media and the Obama administration avoiding ANY reference to Hasan being a Muslim and that his Islamic religion was at the center of his terrorist attack is a dangerous precedence that will only encourage further attacks of this kind and worse as terrorist groups like Al Qaeda see the weakness toward terrorism from the the administration. This was a terrorist attack performed by a Muslim fanatic killing in the name of Allah and now it must be determined whether he acted alone or was part of a larger plot. Avoiding it for PC does not change this fact!

Another interesting development concerning Hasan is that during the Presidential transition Obama's transition team created a special task force to review Homeland security procedures and Nidal Hassan was PART OF THIS TASK FORCE, which gave him access to security procedures which could have given him the ability to move as he did at a secure military instillation. Follow this link to Appendix C "Task Force Participants." Continue until reaching page 29 and the eighth name in the left column is listed as, "Nidal Hasan Uniformed Services University School of Medicine."

With Hasan's obvious Islamic terrorist connections which were under investigation by the CIA and the FBI as well as his continual vocal condemnation to US policy BECAUSE of his Islamic affiliation should have forced this Muslim fanatic out of the military and NEVER on a Presidential task force. This sounds similar to the break down in communication prior to the 9/11 attacks.

I cannot help but wonder if the activity by the Obama administration in seeking criminal prosecution for those gathering intelligence allowed this obvious terrorist to slip through the cracks. Additionally the political correctness and the softening toward terrorism that is running amok in the current climate in Washington under the Obama administration attributed greatly to not preventing this terrorist attack before it happened. Could this be just the beginning of further attacks testing the weakness of Barack Obama in preparation for another 9/11 ? If so then Obama failed miserably in responding in a manner that would deter future attacks.

THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL - 20 YEARS OF FREEDOM BECAUSE REAGAN STOOD STRONG

The world is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the fall of The Berlin Wall. Revisionists since have tried to place credit for the collapse of Communism with every source other than the one man whose steadfast strength and principled stance against Communism contributed more than any to the collapse of The Soviet Union and the eventual fall of The Berlin Wall.

President Ronald Reagan stood unwaveringly against Soviet aggression and the ideology of Communism and his stance was the key factor in ending the Cold War, the collapse of The Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Eastern Europe is free today because Reagan stood strong. Germany is united today because Reagan stood strong. The Cold War is no longer threatening our Nation today because Reagan stood strong. A celebration marking twenty years since the fall of the Wall is taking place today because Reagan stood strong. Thank you President Reagan for being the leader that we needed and through your strength spreading the light of freedom to a troubled world.

219 TERRORISTS ATTACK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE CONSTITUTION FROM THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

Terrorism has been described as, "acts which are intended to create fear and to perpetrate an ideological goal." While the vote which took place in the House of Representatives did not take on the usual violent actions of terrorism, the attack through the passage of the government take over of the health care system was a blatant and planned attack against the will of the American people and the fundamental principles of freedom found in our Constitution. An attack based on fear and a socialist ideological goal by Democrats and the administration of Barack Obama.

218 Democrats and one lone turncoat Republican from Louisiana signaled clearly to the American people by their vote passing the House version of health care, that they do not care what the people think and that the Constitution of The United States is nothing more to them than a historical document whose day has passed and whose principles have no meaning in the political climate of Washington under the socialist umbrella of the Obama Presidency and the Pelosi Congress.

Never before in our history have elected representatives whose Constitutional oath and responsibility is to listen to and act in accordance with the will of the people, shown such a total usurping of the foundational Constitutional principles of liberty and taken such a ideological stand against the people as they have with the passage of this unconstitutional and freedom stealing health care monstrosity.

Before and especially after the vote Congressional leadership and the President arrogantly claimed that what they were about to do and eventually did was for the people and what the people wanted. Yet poll after poll clearly have shown that no more than 35% of the people favor the government take over of health care. Even as the bill was being debated tens of thousands of angry Americans were standing outside of the Capitol screaming to, "kill the bill." Millions more have expressed their anger and disgust with the bill by e-mail and phone yet 219 terrorist representatives forced an ideological nightmare of socialism down the throats of the American people.

Prior to the debate Barack Obama went behind closed doors with Democrats to arm twist many who still opposed the bill and refused to meet with any member of the opposition which were only foot steps away from his location at the Capitol. So much for transparency and promises of bipartisanship. Nancy Pelosi took to the cameras with her evil botox smirk after the meeting and after the vote lying that this, "historical," legislation was for the people. The only people that this debacle is for are the liberal socialists who see health care as their greatest opportunity to control our lives using government as the means of that control.

Everything about this bill stands in direct contrast to the Constitution. From the provision which requires every American to purchase health care or face fines and imprisonment to its total deconstruction of private insurance and private health care. Making government the deciding factor in the free process of individual health care decisions and the government running private insurance companies out of business through, "competitive, " practices designed to give government health care the greater financial advantage in the cost of coverage.

The passage of the House bill is not the final outcome of the seeming never ending health care debate or a signal that government will take over health care. The Senate still has yet to put together their final bill and vote on the Senate floor. In fact opposition is so fierce in the Senate to its version of health care that Harry Reid has signaled that it will be January at least before the Senate takes up the bill moving it into an election year which stands to favor Senators paying more attention to the voice of the people.

Which means our task as citizens who love our freedom and do not want a socialist take over of our health care have much more work to do. It will require each of us to place the fear of our vote and our anger in the very soul of every Senator who enters that Chamber when Reid places their bill on the floor for debate and vote. Senators have shown at least a passing sensitivity to what the people think as opposed to the total arrogant ignoring of the people by most in the House. Yes many Senators, Harry Reid among them, could care less about what we think and the principles of the Constitution but more actually seem to listen than not.

So we as Americans who believe in liberty and believe in a Republic of the people where government is not our controlling force and the individual is the deciding factor in every aspect of our lives, we must take an even more determined stance than ever before. We must also mark for destruction every terrorist who voted for passage in the House of Representatives. Destruction of any possible future for a political career. Any possible re-election. Any possible opportunity to usurp the Constitution and the will of the people again.

We are at war with these socialist terrorists and just as our military has systematically taken out Al Qaeda we must by our vote and our activism take out the socialist terrorists who have shown that creating fear and their socialist ideology is more important that freedom and the people of The United States. Their day is done and their cause is finished. Their cheers which permeated the House floor after the final vote was tallied will be silenced by we the people. If they thought we were loud and angry before they have not even begun to see our wrath and revenge as we are resolved to save our Republic and our way of life from their government sponsored terrorism.

REMEMBERING THE FALLEN AT FORT HOOD AND THE ,"PEACEFUL," RELIGION THAT KILLED THEM

13 American soldiers are dead. 30 are wounded with some still holding on with life threatening wounds. A Major whose name I will not mention but has a Jordanian lineage is recovering from wounds received from the heroic soldier, a woman, whose actions stopped this mad mans carnage. The brave Americans whose lives have been taken at Fort Hood, Texas died as much in defense of our Nation as any of their fellow soldiers on the battlefield and we remember and mourn their loss.

The killer has been described as a quiet and calm man whose religious belief are found in the, "peaceful," religion of Islam. His comments to fellow soldiers before his murder spree were of complaint with US policy in Afghanistan and his future deployment to that region in which he complained that he would have to fight against, "fellow Muslims." Was this the motive behind his actions ? It is not yet known. Could he have been a sleeper cell for terrorist activity in the US and yesterday by order from his handlers his cell was awakened like those who hijacked the planes on 9/11 ? This too is not yet known.

But once again the, "peaceful," religion of Islam is behind the murder of innocent people and the PC press says little about the possible religious motivation behind this heinous killing spree at Fort Hood. If this had been the killing of an abortion clinic doctor, not only would the religious affiliation of the murderer been headline news but his political affiliation also. Fox News to their credit discussed the killers Muslim ties as length. CNN mentioned it in passing and MSNBC never mentioned it at all.

The President mentioned the killings almost as an after thought AFTER he praised the organizers at a conference he was attending at a press conference after the meetings. He gave a , "shout out," to the organizers THEN and only then switched gears to speak of the tragedy at Fort Hood. Am I nitpicking here ? Absolutely. As President it is part of his responsibility when this type of tragedy strikes to console a Nation and when it strikes the military it is his responsibility as Commander in Chief to show order and calm and sympathy for his troops FIRST and not praise the organizers of meetings that fits in with his political agenda.

Now that I have that off my chest, the heroes whose lives were taken and those who remain in a hospital suffering from wounds received from the same Islamic radical who took the lives of their fellow soldiers are ALL brave Americans whose lives were cut short defending this country. Their sacrifice while not specifically on a battlefield once again brings to light the evil that we are fighting in defense of liberty against those who kill in the name of Allah.

God bless those who are still suffering from their wounds. God bless the families of the fallen and the wounded. And God bless the memories of those who were murdered in defense of freedom.

THE LIBERAL LIE CARTOON GALLERY AND YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

Election day 2009 a precursor to election day 2010 and a kick in the butt for BHO ! I must say...I LOVED IT!!!!!





YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - BEDFORD, Pa. — In exchange for no jail time, a woman and her adult daughter have agreed to stand outside a Pennsylvania courthouse holding signs saying they stole a gift card from a 9-year-old girl on her birthday. Fifty-six-year-old Evelyn Border and 35-year-old Tina Griekspoor stood outside the court for 4½ hours Tuesday. They held signs that read: "I stole from a 9-year-old girl on her birthday! Don't steal or this could happen to you!"


Because the women agreed to hold the signs, Bedford County District Attorney Bill Higgins says he'll ask for probation instead of jail when they plead guilty to the theft. Higgins says they swiped a gift card that the girl set on a shelf while a Walmart employee helped her. The girl's mother planned to drive by the courthouse to teach her daughter the importance of obeying the law.

Well at least some parts of our Justice System actually provides true justice ! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - VIENNA — This is the city that gave the world Sigmund Freud. But did he ever explore mayhem on a handball court? The coach of an Austrian women’s handball team has resigned after going onto the court to prevent a score during a game last week.


Gunnar Prokop, the coach of Hypo Niederoesterreich, says he “will go through this with a psychiatrist. ... I still can’t understand why I’ve done this.” Prokop went onto the court four seconds before the end of Thursday’s Champions League match. He intentionally collided with an opposing player to stop a counterattack and deny Metz a chance to score. The match ended in a 27-27 draw.

Sounds like he might want to coach in the NCAA. - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

Thirty-eight-year-old Rodney Bolton is charged with theft over the $129 animal that police say he took from a pet store in Jacksonville Beach, the Florida Times-Union reported.

A 17-year-old witness confronted Bolton in the parking lot and was bitten by the animal after the man allegedly shoved it in the teen's face. That confrontation makes the ferret a "special weapon" under Florida law. So Bolton also faces battery charges for dangerously wielding the animal.

I hope while the ferret was still biting that police stuffed it back down this ding bats pants to take a, " bite," out of crime and anything else the ferret finds. - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

REBUBLICAN SWEEPS IN VIRGINIA AND NEW JERSEY

The hand writing was on the wall. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs began spinning the Virginia and New Jersey election as no big deal early in the day on Tuesday. As exit polls and actual election returns began to show the devastating loss that the night would bring to Democrats, what few spokesman for the DNC that were allowed on television began to spin the disaster as nothing more than a minor inconvenience. The White House remained silent throughout the night claiming that Obama was not even watching the returns. Yeah right.

No matter how the spin is spewed by Democrats the 2009 election was a referendum on the mood of the country toward Barack Obama, Democrats and the agenda they are trying to force upon the people. Both Virginia and New Jersey were huge wins for Obama just one year ago in the Presidential race and in 2009 both states became huge losses for Democrats and a slap to Obama.

Virginia ran a Republican sweep as Bob McDonnell won the Governorship by a 19 percentage point margin. Virginia also easily elected a Republican Lt. Governor and Attorney General by similar margins and six out of seven State Assembly seats also going Republican giving a GOP majority in Richmond. Embattled Democrat Governor Corizine of New Jersey who embraced Obama's agenda and had Presidential campaign visits five times in the last several weeks lost his Governorship to Republican Chris Christie in a state that is usually as blue as they come.

As the evening began to show just how bad Democrats were losing both the DNC and the White House remained quiet. In fact the White House claimed that Obama had gone to bed early and was not watching any returns. I guess Robert Gibbs had the cable turned off in the private quarters because if not no one can tell me with even an ounce of truth the Obama was not watching returns in which he staked so much of his political clout on through campaigning in Virginian and especially New Jersey.

The DNC sent underlings to the few interviews that they granted and the spin was not on Virginian or New Jersey but trying to tout the New York 23rd district victory as great news for the Democrat agenda since this seat has been held by Republicans for 100 years. What they forget is that the loss of the seat did not come because the Democrat was so popular but more a result of the trouble that brewed over the GOP choosing to run a liberal Republican over a conservative and the resulting third party run gave nearly 6000 wasted votes to a GOP candidate who had dropped out of the race.

The bottom line with this election is that the policies of Barack Obama and the Democrats which have been lauded by Democrats and the liberal media both are extremely unpopular with voters and they proved this by virtually shutting out Democrats in two states that were extremely blue only a year ago. Over the next few days I am sure that Obama, Pelosi and Reid will be spinning this as no big deal but the reality is that 2009 is a precursor for 2010 and if the results are any indication of next years election than 2010 will be a devastating year for Democrats.

Will this fact slow down Obama and his push for an very unpopular agenda ? I don't think so. This President has shown that he is arrogant and cares little for what the people actually think. In fact he is under the illusion that his agenda is for the people regardless of voters response or protests that all have shown just how unpopular both he and his agenda truly are. So arrogance will continue to push for what he cannot have because in 2010 Congress is up for re-election and Obama's arrogance does not equate to votes and a happy constituency!

HAS NY 23 BECOME THE WAKE UP CALL THE GOP HAS NEEDED

Doug Hoffman the Conservative Party candidate is poised to take a Republican seat in the New York 23rd Congressional District. The GOP candidate Dierdre Scozzafava, whose credentials were not much better than the Democrat running dropped out and endorsed the Democrat which changed the entire picture in this key 2009 race. The RNC and many prominent Republicans endorsed Dierdre Scozzafava just because she was running on the GOP ticket placing party above principle which has been a problem for Republicans for several years.

Michael Steele stated that he supports Doug Hoffman in his bid and never supported the candidate chosen by the local Republican party. Newt Gingrich who initially supported the GOP candidate has since changed his support to Hoffman. Now the RNC is running radio ads supporting Hoffman urging voters in this key race to support conservative values, ideas and the Conservative party candidate. Following is an example of one of the radio spots.

"Whose side are you on?

The Pelosi/Patterson tax and spend train wreck? Or do you believe in Republican conservative values, like thrift, personal responsibility, and family. Let’s tell the liberals, enough is enough. No more bailouts, taxes and budget busting spending. It’s time to create jobs, with proven conservative ideas like lower taxes. Let your voice be heard, join the movement to bring real conservative change. Tell the politicians, no more, we won’t let you bankrupt America. We need conservative leaders who stand up for our values. Fight Back! Vote conservative, it matters like never before."

Has this embarrassment for the GOP in the New York 23 finally become the wake up call that the party has needed for years ? And if so is the support they are showing for the conservative candidate prove that the Republican party is heeding the wake up call ? Conservative candidates are already mounting challenges to strong well known GOP candidates gearing up for primaries prior to the 2010 election. On of the most prominent challenges faces Florida's Charlie Crist who openly supported Obama's stimulus package angering conservatives yet still supported by the GOP.

The GOP leadership has long bought into the idea that the only way the party can win is to cater to liberal elements in the party and those elected in Congress have regularly caved into Democrat style policy of expanding government and spending like drunken sailors. Doug Hoffman's run in New York proves that even in this most liberal of states, Americans are tired of liberal politics and are reaching out for conservative ideas and values. If the GOP is truly taking heed to this wake up call then the party stands to make great gains in 2010. If not and politics as usual continues with the GOP, conservative may totally abandon the party that has abandoned them leaving a void in the midst and a possibility of Democrats continuing as the majority party despite the fact that the majority of the country disagrees with Democrat policy and liberal ideas.

"OBAMA LIGHT" DIEDRE SCOSSAFAVA DROPS OUT AND ENDORSES DEMOCRAT - BY RADENA

So what did she drop out of? The race for Upstate New York's 23rd Congressional District seat and endorses the Democrat candidate Bill Owens over conservative Doug Hoffman.

Glenn Beck referred to Assemblywoman Diedre Scossafava as the "Obama Light" Republican. My research has shown her to be in the Olympia Snowe category, which makes her more of a liberal than a centrist and the proof of that is that she has endorsed the Democratic candidate William L. Owens! In the following video Newt Gingrich was backing her, which infuriated me as much as it did Glenn Beck! However, since Beck's show was aired, Gingrich has endorsed Doug Hoffman and because she was losing, Assemblywoman Scossafava has dropped out of the race. In the following video, after a rant, Glenn interviews Hoffman, so I present the video just in case you know nothing about Hoffman:



I can't help but wonder what changed Gingrich's mind? Was it the fact that Sarah Palin has endorsed Hoffman and Limbaugh has spoken approvingly of Hoffman on his radio program? Is it possible Glenn Beck's rant had anything to do with it? My guess is that Gingrich got wind of Scossafava's plans to drop out but whatever the reasoning behind it, I'm glad he did. If the GOP doesn't grow a solid backbone and stand up for real conservative values and continue to fight for them while in office, then I will no longer consider myself a Republican! Politicians saying one thing before they're elected and doing another after they've been elected has worn just a wee bit thin.

WHAT WOULD REAGAN DO ? - FORCE THE GOP TO AGAIN BECOME THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

Barack Obama and Democrats are crashing in the polls. Their socialist agenda especially the push for health care is sinking the left in the sea of politics much like the iceberg did to the Titanic and just like the Titanic Obama does not have lifeboats enough to save liberal Democrats in Congress from sinking in 2010 and beyond at the rate his popularity is crashing.

Elections are taking place in a few days and they are poised to become referendums on Obama and his agenda. The summer saw Tea Parties, which continue, and a great awakening of the American people, many of whom have never been politically involved, taking a stand as the silent majority is no longer silent and the 2009 elections look to be a precursor to 2010 and a slap to Obama.

Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate for Virginia Governor looks unbeatable against a once popular Democrat state Senator Creigh Deeds in a state that went for Obama in the 2008. In New Jersey incumbent Governor Jon Corzine is in a dead heat race against Republican challenger Chris Christie with a more conservative and former Republican Independent Chris Daggett holding at about 12%.

The most telling race of all of the key 2009 races is the New York 23rd Congressional seat which had three candidates running for an open seat without a primary before the general election. The Republican Dierdre Scozzafava who received the party endorsement and has been showing a dismal third announced on Saturday that she was dropping out of the race. Her liberal stance on many issues prompted another former Republican Doug Hoffman to run as the Conservative party candidate and received several powerful endorsements like Sarah Palin and Fred Thompson which filled his war chest and helped bleed dry Scozzafava. Prior to her withdrawal Scozzafava was running a distant third in polling with Hoffman showing a slight lead over Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman should easily take this seat now.

So with the Democrats crashing and the 2009 election a referendum on Obama with Democrats falling to defeat in key races, does this mean a resurging Republican party as we approach 2010 ? Polling shows NO ! In fact while the GOP has gained a slight advantage over Democrats in Congressional polling the majority of the American people still do not trust the party. Which does not bode well for 2010, at least at this point in time.

Democrats are crashing and Republicans are meandering so what choice do we conservatives have ? A recent poll has shown that conservatives are the largest ideological group in the Nation with 40% of Americans considering themselves conservative. While conservatives have traditionally voted GOP most, including myself believe that the party has abandoned us and moved to the left of our beliefs and values. The recent support of the GOP for the liberal Republican candidate in the NY 23rd and a disappointing endorsement by conservative Newt Gingrich only enforces that feeling of conservative abandonment by the GOP.

The move by the party to encompass everyone and the belief that if they follow a conservative platform it will exclude moderates and Independents has allowed the GOP to drift aimlessly without real direction nor a strong issue based platform. Which also has equated to a nest full of what are referred to as RINO Republicans in elected office who have certain conservative ideas but regularly expose their true liberal beliefs by their vote on legislation and their willingness to spend money and grow government.

So as a result their is strong support for a third party conservative alternative and the NY 23rd Congressional race is fueling this as the Conservative party candidate will likely take the formerly Republican seat. Most do not understand that if a primary had taken place in this district as is the usual practice before a general election, conservative Doug Hoffman WOULD have been the GOP candidate. So the election is serving both as primary and general election which has brought about the end of Scozzafava's campaign and a likely victory for Hoffman.

Yet the abandonment of conservatism as a whole still exists and conservatives are looking for an answer. Many believe by her recent moves and her endorsement of Hoffman in New York, that Sarah Palin is leading up to a Conservative party run for the Presidency in 2012. A move that she has not mentioned but that many are almost hoping for.

Historically a third party run on a national stage like a Presidential election has only split one party allowing the other to win the election. It happened to Republican William Taft in the 1912 election as Teddy Roosevelt started the Bull Moose party out of anger against Taft which propelled Democrat Woodrow Wilson to the White House.

In 1992 Ross Perot won 18% of the vote as the Reform party candidate which allowed a victory for Democrat Bill Clinton as 80% of Perot's total came from Republicans who chose not to vote for George H. W. Bush allowing Clinton to take the White House with only 43% of the vote. With historical precedence going against a third party run as a possibility for the future with conservatives who have been abandoned by the GOP, what choice do we have ?

Do what Ronald Reagan did. When Reagan first came to prominence on the national stage after winning the Governorship in California, the Republican party consisted of Country Club Republicans who had a moderate middle of the road platform which left many socials issues dear to conservatives out in the cold and believed in spending and expanding government, much like the GOP of today.

Reagan nearly defeated incumbent Gerald Ford at the 1976 Republican convention but the Country Club leaders of the GOP were still the driving force in the party and through back room deals managed to defeat Reagan on the last vote giving the nomination to Ford and the Presidency to Carter.

In the next four years Reagan took his conservative platform to the people. He fought the idea of big government and increased taxes at every opportunity. He campaigned against the socialist type programs being legislated by Jimmy Carter and the Democrat Congress. At every turn Reagan condemned the appeasing Carter's foreign policy against the Soviet Union and touted a strong military and a hard line stance against Communism and the Soviets.

In the short time between 1976 and 1980 Reagan transformed the GOP from the Country Club to the everyday conservative American and as a result forced the Republican party into becoming the conservative party because if they had not, Reagan's message would have caused a massive out cry from grassroots conservative Republicans much like that which is taking place now.

Reagan's philosophy was not to allow the GOP to abandon conservatism but by the force of our message cause the GOP to embrace it and embrace it they did. The GOP and conservatism became synonymous with one another. That is until the last several years as the Country Club has moved back in but this time the association of Reagan conservatism to the GOP has caused the press to claim that Republicanism and Conservatism are one in the same. They are not and we conservatives know it.

So how do we force the GOP to embrace conservatism as the path to victory ? Do as Reagan did. Support conservative candidates with our time, our voice and our money. When Reagan was asked about whether the conservative platform was leaving out liberal Republicans his response was, "we don't need them!" At every opportunity we need to let Michael Steele and the RNC know that if they want to win in 2010 and beyond then a strong and true conservative platform is the ONLY way that 40% of America will support the party.

You may ask, how can 40% win. Well Reagan showed the way there also. As he campaigned on his conservative message Independents and more conservative Democrats embraced the message and the movement because they did not like the direction that Jimmy Carter and Democrats were taking this country. Again much like today as Democrats and especially Independents are becoming more and more troubled with Obama, Reid and Pelosi and are searching for an answer to their disillusionment.

Reagan presented strong and true conservatism as the answer against Carter and we can do the same today against Obama. Just like Reagan we can take the GOP and lead to a conservative victory with a strong conservative platform and candidates who stand by and will vote for conservative ideas which are the true Constitutional principles that have sustained this nation since it birth. We cannot split the vote like 1912 and 1992 or we will be faced with another four years of Obama and the complete and total destruction of what will be left of our proud Republic. We can and we must, for the sake of the Nation take back the GOP and return the sanity of true and strong conservative leadership.

WAKE UP CALL FOR THOSE THAT LIKE THE, "PUBLIC OPTION" - BY RADENA

If you like the idea of big government ruining running your health care, perhaps you should listen up and learn something:



Those of you who are longing for the government to run your health care need to get a reality check. Government always screws up whatever it's put in charge of and this government, if you allow it to, will screw things up royally. But I'm bored with ranting about this subject. I don't know how Glenn Beck and others continue on day after day, but God bless them for putting the truth out there!

RaDena - Blasting Caps And Dynamite

NOTE FROM KEN: The House revealed its health care bill in a private invitation only ceremony hosted by Nancy Pelosi. In this debacle not only is the government option front and center but it is also filled with massive taxation to pay for the bill. Additionally things like Tampons and Condoms will be considered health care devises and therefore taxed as health care supplies. The House bill also contains the controversial ,"death counseling," that Democrats claimed was not part of their plan.

The Senate version has the government option with an,"opt - out," clause for the States. But the hidden factor is, States who opt-out will be fined severely and STILL have to pay all taxes for government health care.

The trillion dollar price tag is ONLY a down payment to start the program ineither bill. As it expands it will follow the example of Medicare and Medicaid which are now taxed subsidies paid for by income tax assessments from wage earning citizens! And yet there are STILL some who think that government can run health care ?

But the group reneged, saying it had mistaken her business for another. Rizos, who owns the topless club The Lodge, was refunded the $5,000 fee required to receive the award. So she donated the money to Animal Guardians of America’s sanctuary for rescued dogs in Celina, about 35 miles north of Dallas. “Newt’s Nook — A Home for Pit Bulls” is under construction.

ARES 1 X LIFTS OFF WITHOUT A HITCH

The next generation of launch vehicle which will once again return man into space exploration, the Ares 1 X, successfully made its first test launch at 11:30 AM from Cape Canaveral. The largest rocket currently made and only slightly smaller than the massive Saturn V which launched all of the Apollo moon missions, the Ares is designed to make the next step in space exploration taking the successor of the Shuttles, the Orion, in to space with the eventual destination being a manned mission to Mars.

The Ares is designed to take the future Orion crew vehicle from earths orbit to finally once again take man's exploration of space beyond our own planet which has been the missions of the Shuttle program since the end of the Apollo moon missions in the mid seventies. While the future manned flights are not to take place until well after the retirement of the Shuttle fleet in 2013, the successful launch of the Ares today signals the new beginning of man once again going where, "no man has gone before."

HARRY REID'S DECEPTION - NO WONDER NEVADA IS SICK OF HIM

The above video is a short version of Senate Majority Leader and leading Senate scum bag, Harry Reid making the announcement that the Senate version of the health care bill will contain a public, (government), option. Once again this disgusting individual has lied to the American people and could care less whether we know it or not.

When the Baucus bill went to Committee it was with the expressed backing of Reid BECAUSE it excluded the government option and instead used co-ops, which in reality are nothing more than group cooperatives who would have been regulated by the government. But still it was not a full control option like the government plan backed by liberals.

Now that he has a Committee vote, Reid has been meeting secretly, behind closed doors with The White House and Congressional liberals which resulted in the inclusion of the government option in the Senate bill as it makes its way to the Senate floor for a full vote. Reid stated in his rambling announcement that, "poll after poll, " state that the American people overwhelmingly favor the government option.

I have no idea what polls he is reading but just the opposite is true. EVERY poll shows that the majority of Americans want nothing to do with the government option or government involvement in health care PERIOD! So how can you tell when Harry Reid is lying ? Every time he opens his mouth.

It is no wonder that this despicable person is behind by double digits against not one but two Republican challengers for his Senate seat which comes up for re-election in 2010. The people of Nevada are sick if his lies and they also know that the rest of the country are tired of him and the state is looking forward to ridding this embarrassment by voting him out next year.

He lied to get a Committee vote by leaving out the government option because he knew it would not get through Committee with this option in the Senate bill. Now that he has his Committee vote he secretly puts the option back in the Senate bill once again lying in his statement claiming that the option is favored overwhelmingly by the people.

If ever a weasel was elected to Congress it is Harry Reid. Every time he opens his mouth it makes my stomach churn. He would not recognize the truth if someone placed it right in front of his face. The only interest that this lying weasel has is promoting a leftist Marxist agenda claiming it as the will of the people. The people of Nevada cannot get rid of him quick enough as far as I am concerned and I believe that the vast majority of Americans find nothing but disgust in Harry, "the weasel," Reid.

NATO MOVES FOR MORE TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN WHILE OBAM SITS ON HIS HANDS - BY RADENA

NATO moves toward more troops for Afghan war

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday that NATO allies are moving toward sending more troops and civilian aid to Afghanistan.

Gates said he was "heartened" by allies' commitment to the 8-year-old war even as the Obama administration mulls whether to order tens of thousands more U.S. troops to the fight. (Bold is mine)

The Pentagon chief cited a long-term commitment by NATO partners to remain in Afghanistan until the conflict is successfully resolved.

At a meeting of 28 NATO defense ministers in Bratislava, Gates said he did not seek specific promises of military assistance, and none was given. He described, however, "a renewed determination to see this through."
(snip) (There's more at the link)

So when are we going to be "heartened" by Obama's commitment to the 8-year-old war? More importantly, when are we going to be heartened by his commitment to our troops who are already there and why can't he make a decision regarding this extremely important matter?

According to ABC News "some critics on both the left and right are asking: "Is the president essentially "too nice" to make the important decisions?" Ye gads and little fishes! Sorry, but why don't they ask a couple of realistic questions such as "is the President afraid to make the right decision because he will anger his far-left base? or "Was this president too inexperienced to be the POTUS in the first place?" I believe an honest answer to both of those questions would be a resounding "YES!"

We unfortunately have a president who sit's on his hands and by doing so puts our troop's lives in more danger each and every day that he procrastinates. This is especially disheartening now that we finally have 30,000 Pakistani soldiers committed to fighting Al qaeda and the Taliban in the lawless border regions.

We are stuck with a president who claims he pushed the wrong buttons on six senate votes. OOPS! We unfortunately have a president who isn't qualified in any way, shape or form to even be the president and is only there through the apathy and ignorance of some of the American public, the greed of people who feel they are entitled to government handouts, and the refusal of many conservatives to vote at all because they didn't like anyone who was running. Those conservatives, especially those who run political blogs, anger me most of all because they absolutely knew the consequences of their non-vote. Being unaware is one thing, but being aware and doing nothing is unconscionable! Now we're stuck with a president who some think may be "too nice" to make a decision.

May God help our troops fighting for all of our freedom and may He also help Obama to make the right decision for once in his life!

OBAMA IN DESPERATION MODE OVER HEALTH CARE - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

The debate over health care has been front and center in the news, the White house and on Capitol Hill, almost to the exclusion of every other issue since long before summer. Yet despite the all out effort that Barack Obama has given and the massive amount of political capital that he has used, health care is in actuality no further along now than it was six months ago. One would not think this the case if one listened ONLY to the rhetoric coming from the White House and especially from Obama himself.

Obama claims that health care is all but a done deal and that it will be passed making the government the guardian of the health care for every citizen of this country. Whether his confidence is arrogance, misguided optimism or both remains to be seen but recent activity by Obama and a key vote which took place in the Senate last week shows that Obama is acting out of desperation. Desperation that stems from not only the inability to get legislation but the massive unpopularity of this center piece of Obama's agenda.

Never before has a President set himself so decisively against the will of the American people as Obama has on the issue of health care. Poll after poll including some of the most liberal polls have shown that the majority of the people are against health care because no matter which option is being discussed, each results in government involvement and the people want no part of government in health care.

The Town Halls, protests and constant bombardment at White House and Congressional e-mails and phone lines back up the polling showing the total lack of support for health care. Yet Obama has chosen to side against that American people and it not only has sparked desperate moves on his part but has destroyed his once thought untouchable popularity with most polling having him at 50% or lower.

Last week the first floor vote on the issue of health care took place in the Senate. Harry Reid and Democrats have been secretly meeting behind closed doors for nearly two weeks discussing health care on both Capitol Hill and occasionally at the White House. These meetings have been covered by Fox News and mostly neglected by the rest of the media which follows the nearly all positive coverage of anything that this administration does by media with the exception of Fox.

Secret meetings are in direct contrast to the claims of transparency by Barack Obama yet most of the health care decisions have been made behind closed doors. The floor vote which took place last week was over a provision for the Senate bill which would provide more than 200 billion dollars of funding for the debacle to be taken from Medicare which would have brought the cost of the Baucus bill down from nearly one TRILLION dollars to just over 700 billion.

Of course the provision would have decreased seniors benefits but it would have given the illusion of health care being paid for and not increasing the deficit. Of course this illusion was nothing more than a scam to deceive the people into believing that this monstrosity was not a budget buster but Harry Reid took it to the floor of the Senate for a vote with closed door assurances that not only would the votes to pass this scam be there but that the AMA and the AARP both backed this scam.

When the final votes were tallied 13 Democrats joined every Republican and Reid not only lost the vote but lost it big with only 43 votes in favor of the provision. A devastating blow to health care and a strong indication that the bill was in danger of not passing because the support so touted favoring the bill by legislators is not there and may not be there for future votes in either the House or the Senate.

Combine this with the fact that the Senate version does not have a public, (government), option and that Nancy Pelosi had emphatically stated that she would NOT allow a bill without the option on the floor of the House and it creates the possibility that even with Senate passage the bill will NEVER make it through the committees which reconciles House and Senate bills. Making a distinct probability that health care may legislatively be virtually dead in the water.

Obama's continual diving popularity adds to this possibility as those in Congress without strong Presidential coat tails are not and will not be willing to stick their necks out in opposition to the American people in order to vote for health care. So the Senate vote was a huge and possibly completely devastating set back to Obama's push for health care.

He and Congressional leaders are still showing a confident front to the public but desperation is setting in and that was proven by a move made by Obama concerning the H1N1 , Swine flu, virus. Saturday, which is an almost non-existent news day Obama declared H1N1 a National Emergency claiming the move would open up more availability for the vaccine and allow hospitals to use facilities other than their own if the virus causes large out breaks needing isolation treatment.

This move came only two days after the World Health Organization, the UN watch dog for health related problems, announced that the H1N1 our break was much smaller than anticipated and that the worldwide death toll was less than 5000, which also was far less than anticipated. Both indications that the pandemic scare which came when this virus was first discovered is likely not going to happen.

Looking at facts concerning H1N1 especially in comparison to the seasonal flu, the virus is nothing more than a minor blip on the health scale yet Obama has declared it a National Emergency. There have already been more than 200,000 cases of the seasonal flu with most states recording widespread out breaks and the death toll in the US alone from the seasonal strain has exceeded the worldwide toll for H1N1. In fact the US averages nearly 36,000 deaths each year from the seasonal flu and yet it is not considered a National Emergency.

H1N1 has recorded less than 1000 cases in the US with only a hand fill of deaths associated with the virus and Obama declares a National Emergency doing so on a day when few Americans pay even a moments attention to the news. Is this a sign of desperate actions being taken in order to pass health care ? Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff stated earlier this year that a ,"crisis," should never be wasted. This was in reference to the economic crisis and Obama's push for the massive stimulus bill which has failed miserably.

So is it just a coincidence that health care is failing and that Obama declares a National Emergency for a virus that is to date nothing more than a news created crisis ? The number of Americans who have been diagnosed and treated for H1N1 does not warrant a declaration for a National Emergency which is why I believe that this is a political move by Obama to pressure legislators into passing health care. Creating a , "crisis," to use as a means of arm twisting Congress into backing Obamacare as their ,"patriotic," duty due to the, "National Emergency."

So as not to be accused of creating a public panic in conjunction with the arm twisting move by issuing the declaration, it was made on the slowest news day of the week so that most Americans would not realize that an emergency had been declared. But Congress is well aware of the emergency and I can guarantee that already on Capitol Hill Rahm Emanuel and other White House staff have been making calls ,"urging," legislators to side with the President on health care in light of the health related National Emergency.

Desperate measures taken by a desperate President who sees his agenda failing and the center piece of that agenda possibly not even making it to a vote due to differing views in the House and Senate. Has Obama seen the hand writing on the wall for health care and used his Executive Powers to create the crisis he deems necessary to force passage ? If this is the case, which I believe it is, then the pressure which will be brought to bare on members of Congress will be intense. So we as the majority who oppose this health care debacle must make the pressure we have already been creating much more than that by the White House.

When a President takes desperate measures as it seems Obama has, it is a last ditch effort to achieve what he sees slipping through his political hands. With next year being an election year this gives the people a distinct advantage over a desperate White House in making our voice heard above the fray of the likes of Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod. We are winning this fight and Obama knows it. Keep up the pressure and we the people will prevail!

FLORIDA JUDGE SENDS RIFQA BARY BACK TO OHIO - BY RADENA

A 17-year old girl who fled from her home, fearing her Muslim parents would kill her for converting to Christianity, must go back to Ohio, a Florida judge ruled Tuesday.

Judge Daniel Dawson ruled Ohio has jurisdiction over the case involving the teen, Rifqa Bary.

Before the girl gets sent back, the judge says he needs immigration papers proving her status in the U.S. and proof from the state of Florida that she can continue her virtual schooling and receive credit in Ohio.

She is expected to be placed in foster care when she returns and will also be provided with psychiatric evaluations. Her parents will also receive psychiatric evaluations.You can read the rest here.

Okay. Let me see if I've got this right. This Florida judge is going to send the girl back to Ohio and put her in foster care and also give psychiatric evaluations to both her and her parents. I may be off base, but my personal opinion is that if anyone needs a psychiatric evaluation it's this judge! The girl will soon turn 18 and when she does she'll be able to go wherever she wants whenever she wants - if she survives - but in the meantime she's going to be examined to make sure she's sane? I guess that's par for the course considering she converted to Christianity.

Please tell me how you can conclude Islamic parents are sane when it's part of their religious philosophy that if they are dishonored by their children they have the right to kill them? Anyone?

Another question: Would the judge have come to the same conclusion if the parents had been Christians? I guess we'll never know for sure, but somehow I doubt it. Christianity is under attack and Islam is not only being tolerated but - in far too many cases - given more rights than Christians. Need I remind anyone of the Islamic prayer rooms in airports and Cleveland's CAIR attempt to place Muslim footbaths at Hopkins International Airport?

What I want to know is, would this 17 year-old girl have been sent back if she had been a Christian who had converted to Muslim? After all, the judge wouldn't have to be concerned about Christian's retaliating, would he?

I do understand that in most states 17 year-olds are not considered adults, but I also believe that in the case where a person that close to being a legal adult makes a decision as dangerous as to convert from Islam to Christianity perhaps an exception should be made? Or is it just me?
