Rachel Maddow has come around…but will the left keep buying Obama's BS?

Obama is full of crap and so are the left wing hypocrites that protested Bush when he kept the Patriot Act. I haven't seen much of this story on the left wing blogs or other media. When will the left realize that they got all the bad parts of Bush and a whole host of his own inablities. But for some reason I think the left will give him a pass. They will come out with a wisper of a protest but nothing like they did for the Republicans. Well for the right this is just more ammo for the fact that Obama is nothing more then a big fat liar. I know the left hate it when I call him a liar. But they never disprove the fact that Obama is a liar. He is a blame placing liar. The "it's all Bush's fault" thing is soooooooo old. And Obama's speech is more BS then I've heard in one speech. But the left stay quite while Obama lies to them as well as us. Now Obama has 2 wars that are his,an extention of Patriot Act,he hasn't closed GITMO and it doesn't look like he is going to and the debt that the left and right alike bitched about is climbing higher under the Democrats in Congress and Obama. But they wont say anything against Obama. Why would they stand behind what they believe in? That is why the left wing are worth nothing to this country. They stand for nothing as they change their views with the changing of the political party. Well from now on we will know that your protest and whatnot is worthless. The things you on the left stand for are only for now. You on the left change faster then the weather. And that is why you mean nothing.

 WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has signed a one-year extension of several provisions in the nation's main counterterrorism law, the Patriot Act.
Provisions in the measure would have expired on Sunday without Obama's signature Saturday.
The act, which was adopted in the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, expands the government's ability to monitor Americans in the name of national security.
Three sections of the Patriot Act that stay in force will:
_Authorize court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones.
_Allow court-approved seizure of records and property in anti-terrorism operations.
_Permit surveillance against a so-called lone wolf, a non-U.S. citizen engaged in terrorism who may not be part of a recognized terrorist group.
Obama's signature comes after the House voted 315 to 97 Thursday to extend the measure.
The Senate also approved the measure, with privacy protections cast aside when Senate Democrats lacked the necessary 60-vote supermajority to pass them. Thrown away were restrictions and greater scrutiny on the government's authority to spy on Americans and seize their records.

This Is Such A Desperate Attempt For Attention

MISSION: The Coffee Party Movement gives voice to Americans who want to see cooperation in government. We recognize that the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will, and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to address the challenges that we face as Americans. As voters and grassroots volunteers, we will support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them.

This Is Real Change

Brian Pannebecker of Shelby Township asks a question at a Tea Party meeting in St. Clair Shores on Tuesday. The gathering had no special agenda. Still, about 150 people attended. (WILLIAM ARCHIE/Detroit Free Press) .I'm the dumb looking guy in the far left corner.LOL

This T-shirt expresses one man's views at a Tea Party meeting in St. Clair Shores. The movement could have

There's plenty of evidence to support the everyman theory of the Tea Party, expressed above by the chairman of the Metro Detroit Freedom Coalition, a self-styled Tea Party organization. His comment came at a packed meeting of the group Tuesday evening in St. Clair Shores.

On a snowy, midweek gathering with no special agenda, people still showed up -- about 150. Tea Party demonstrations in Michigan and around the country have routinely drawn hundreds, sometimes thousands of participants. National polls have suggested the general public views the Tea Party, which is not a formal political organization, more favorably than either the Democratic or Republican Party.

And its members have become the public face of voter dissatisfaction and have been given a large measure of credit for delivering a body blow to President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats for the role they played in the upset victory of Republican Scott Brown in the special U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts last month.

Since the Brown election (coming on the heels of Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey last fall) politicians of every stripe have been less inclined to dismiss the Tea Party as a phony grassroots outfit of fringe bigots and haters, as some on the left did when the movement took off last spring and summer.

Republicans, meanwhile, have tried to enclose the Tea Party in a warm, albeit self-serving embrace. State Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, a Rochester Republican and 2010 candidate for attorney general, was on the agenda of speakers in St. Clair Shores. His speech was peppered with kindred-spirit language.

"It's our responsibility to take back our country."

"This is America right here."

"You all have to stand up and say, 'No.' "

'We have a common goal'

In Oakland County, 9th District GOP Chairman Glenn Clark has taken on an alter ego as a Tea Party activist, organizing protests mostly aimed at the district's Democratic U.S. Rep. Gary Peters. Clark said it's a natural fit. The Tea Party, he said, is "bringing together the former pieces of the Reagan coalition."

This Is Writen By A TEA Party Friend Of Mine

Tonight I did a little opposition research along with three other people from our group. We caught wind of a town hall meeting at a union hall with Sander Levin and decided we would try to get in if we could. We were successful. It was a large event with reportedly over 300 people. The organizers stated the number was 322. It seemed that most of the people in attendance were the party faithful rather than rank and file union members and there were many left wing organizers in attendance from the various sponsoring groups.

They all seemed to know each other and as conservative non union members we did our best to attract as little attention as possible. There were photographers taking pictures of the audience and there were people roving around the perimeter of the room that I thought were probably part of a security detail.

There were a number of speakers from the different organizations, the main ones being health care, amnesty, cap and trade and the war. The main focus of the event was to fire people up to push for health reform now. This was an impatient bunch. They are pretty unhappy that
Obama has not passed any of the promised initiatives. There were computers and phone banks in the room so people could contact legislators in real time. The left wing organizations are really turning the heat up. Organizing for America is pledging 5 million hours from volunteers.

Sander Levin came in and had a few remarks. One of these impatient supporters was trying to engage him in a dialogue but Levin's handlers soon came in and swooped him away for another meeting. There was palpable distress in this crowd that the Obama administration was not using its majority status to shove everything through. This was a cameo appearance at best although Levin did not seem to want to leave when they pulled him away.

Then John Conyers appeared, greeted by a bigger welcome than Levin got. I thought he was less than coherent with some routine with a bag of potatoes "small potatoes". I was more interested in what he had to say about health care legislation and he said he would hold his nose and pass it knowing that it could be fixed. Just get something on the books and it can be remodeled later. He said he supports single payor legislation.

After Conyers left several audience members approached the microphone and made brief remarks in support of their left wing causes. One man in particular was concerned about the foreclosure crisis and wanted a moratorium so that we could go back to Roosevelt solutions to our
current economic woes. He was quite passionate and really most of them were. It just seemed like an alternate universe to me, a place where up is down and down is up. I could see very little common ground. We did not speak up and ask a question or make a comment, because it
would not have been a sensible thing to do in that particular venue. We did not detect any like minded people in the audience and knowing of some SEIU attacks in places like St Louis we were not interested in tempting fate while under cover in the enemy camp.

There were hostile remarks about "tea baggers, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. It is easy to see who threatens them. They all seem to be operating at a very emotional level and there were lots of sound
bites, on stage and off. I heard many talking about all the people who are dying because the health bill has not passed. They still believe in global warming and that Michigan will be saved by "green jobs" like wind turbines (that failed technology the Europeans pawned off on us). Compared to the typical "tea party" I have attended this was a very negative, angry crowd. They seem like very unhappy people and very upset that all the wonders of Hope and Change have not been delivered.

There were shout outs from the audience calling for the bill to be passed by Reconciliation, but Conyers deflected that. He probably does not want to be quoted and said as much as he said there were probably reporters in attendance. This left wing base is certainly for it and there were several calls from the audience demanding it.

All in all, while it was very interesting I couldn't wait to get home and take a shower. You know that great invigorated feeling you get at one of our rallies? Well, this was just the opposite. I had a hard time backing out of my parking space as I was hemmed in by an illegally parked car covered in Obama stickers and one on the door that said "If you want religion in government move to Iran"  I also found it interesting that the same crowd that is so worried about people dying in war and people dying while they wait for health reform can be such champions of Planned Parenthood and their abortion agenda. As I find so often in dealing with liberals, things simply do not hold together in a cohesive argument.

Another Great Example Of The Democratic Party

The House ethics committee is admonishing Charlie Rangel for taking free trips to the Caribbean furnished by a lobbyist.

From Politico: The House ethics committee put another dent in the armor of embattled Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel Thursday, admonishing him for violating House gift rules by accepting corporate-funded trips to the Caribbean through an organization called the Carib News.

 The committee essentially found that Rangel is responsible for the transgressions of aides who knew of the corporate sponsorship of the trips.

“The committee did not find sufficient evidence to conclude, nor does it believe that it would discover additional evidence to alter its conclusion, that Rep. Rangel had actual knowledge of the memoranda written by his staff,” an Ethics statement says. “However, the report finds that Rep. Rangel was responsible for the knowledge and actions of his staff in the performance of their official duties.”

But Rangel, who read the findings aloud at a news conference, took issue with the concept that staffers’ actions could be “imputed” to him.

“I don’t want to be critical of the committee, but the common sense dictates that members of Congress should not be held responsible for what could be the wrongdoing of, or mistakes occur, as a staff unless there’s reason to believe the member knew or should have known. And there’s nothing in the record to indicate the latter,” he said. “So I have to now deal with my lawyer as to what the hell do they mean that something’s imputed. Does it mean that no matter what a staff member does if the member doesn’t know it that the member could be charged and admonished publicly for it?”

The Country Is Leading The Democrats The Weakest Dumbest Party Since Carter

He’s good at this. He’s confident and straightforward. I think it’s a very good thing to do. The real frustration in Vermont, and around America, is over the process. The hope is that this jump starts the discussion. This day has the potential to get the American people re-involved.

The health care bill the president is talking about is a private, not public option. It has several other ideas that are important to Republicans. There’s room there to find agreement and move ahead.

If today ends up being another kabuki dance of avoidance then America is going to have to forge ahead. My hope from the beginning is that we have a bipartisan bill.

Nobody with commonsense in America thinks we can pass a bill that will make everything perfect. If Republicans are going to use these arcane Senate rules to defy a vote on the merits, that’s very disrespectful to the America.

There are many reasons the Republican Party is often referred to as the Stupid Party. Many Republicans thought that after the President overshadowed the GOP at their Baltimore retreat last month, going to Blair House yesterday would just be another PR disaster.
It was anything but.
The GOP won the day so convincingly that even the traditional media had to praise the party for talking issues.
Contrast that with Barack Obama who scowled, berated, lied, and harassed the attendees — not to mention filibustered them.
In the most ironic moment of the day, Barack Obama lectured Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor on having the Democrats’ 2,700+ page health care bill on his desk at the meeting. Obama called it a “prop.” At the same time, Democrats were in the newspapers admitting that, in effect, Barack Obama was using the GOP as a prop in a vain effort to show bipartisanship on health care.
There is bipartisanship on health care. There is bipartisan opposition to it. The Democrats must realize today that they would get nothing out of the meeting. They will now try to force health care deform through Congress on a majority vote in each house.
Only a couple of years ago, Barack Obama praised the filibuster claiming it was what the founding fathers wanted to prevent the tyranny of the majority. Now he is intent on ignoring the filibuster and ramming through health care deform.
If nothing else, today shows the American public that the Republicans have a better agenda, better ideas, and are willing to stand up and oppose a reckless scheme that will increase health care costs.

John McCain Blasts The President And Obama Didn't Like It

'The Election Is Over' - Sharp Exchange Between Obama and McCain

Good government doesn’t necessarily mean compelling television. The White House “Health Care Summit” currently on all cable news programs was proving to be more soporific than electric. Solid reasonable debate was dangerously devolving to sophistry, evidenced by Senator John McCain’s very critical take on all of the mistakes he felt that the Obama administration has made in an effort to reform health care. President Obama wasn’t having it, however, and chastised McCain’s critique by reminding him that “the election is over.”  I'd like to know what both sides think of this interaction between Obama and McCain.

Obama Is Meeting With The Republicans On Heath Care Bill

The Democrats have been running around blaming everything and everyone but themselves for what has been done or not done while they have been in power. It is just more proof that the government is running the Democrat Party, not the other way around.  They have been so busy make up excuses and playing political games with the minority party that they keep dropping the ball. With as much a majority as they had they should have been able to get something done that is good for the country and her people. The Democrats need to start taking their jobs serious and stop playing games with the wellfair of our nation.                                                                                                                                                                 If the president is serious about passing nationalized health care, he ought to be meeting with the Democrats, not the Republicans.
 Republicans can't stop the Democrats from socializing health care: They are a tiny minority party in both the House and the Senate. (Note to America: You might want to keep this in mind next time you go to the polls.)
 As the Democratic base has been hysterically pointing out, both the House and the Senate have already passed national health care bills. Either body could vote for the other's bill, and -- presto! -- Obama would have a national health care bill, replete with death panels, abortion coverage and lots and lots of new government commissions!                                                                                                                                                  The Republicans need to distance themselves as far away from these Progressive programs as possible.  They need to be proud to be the party of "NO". No big government,no new entitlement and no more taxing anyone unfairly just because they have more then others.  And the Republicans need to stop meeting with the Democrats and meet with we the people. We are the one they work for. Let the Blue Dogs and Progressive Democrats fight it out to the end. They made their bed, now they must lie in it. The Blue Dogs have a lot to be scared of because it is the party they love that wont see power for decades if they ram this bill down the American voters throat. Like Obama said he would rather be a one term president that got his radical progressive agenda passed then to be a two term president that was liked. The Blue Dog Reagan Democrats need to wake up and see who will be going down with the president when he falls.  Obama will take the DNC with him just like Carter did. And with loving arms the Republicans and the Libertarians will scoop up the pieces of the party. They will take the Reagan conservative Democrats and leave the rotting corpes of the progressive Democratic party there to rot so we the people never make that mistake again.

And if they outright lie then we need to call them out and treat them as liars. Every time they talk they must be treated as liars first. That is the punishment they must bare. Let everyone know that Obama has lied to the American public and the voters. He lied to the Democrats that voted for him. He has lied and attacked those that called him out on his lies. Anyone that wants to speak on behalf of these liars we need to shut them down. What do you think of all these lies now being uncovered about our president? Can we trust a LIAR? Should we keep trusting these liars? And should we take these liars to task for their lies?

Hope Is Not Lost

By Dave Jones, Macomb Daily Special Writer

MEDEFCO might just look like a collection of letters to some, but to many like-minded people it is a glimmer of hope.

It was less than one year ago that Bill Hollister — "Wild Bill" to those who know him — attended a Tea Party event. He walked away inspired.

Tuesday night, the passion continued when the group met at Barrister Gardens in St. Clair Shores.

He said he had been outraged for a while at what he had learned and had been seeing from his government. It was then that he decided to act.

"We're trying to educate what constitutional principles are," Hollister said. "And how our government in all levels has veered far away from those principles and that's basically how the government has gotten into the mess that it's in today."

And with that was born MEDEFCO (Metro Detroit Freedom Coalition), a Tea Party group — formed along with countless other groups around the country — a grass-roots level campaign to resurrect

and revitalize the ideals set forth by the Constitution of the United States.

In the views of Hollister and dozens of others in attendance at MEDEFCO's monthly meetings, those ideals have been lost.

It was April 15, 2009, that Tea Party groups first formed and staged events — various protests and letter writing campaigns, among other things — as a way to influence policy and government actions. Their intent is to keep the power in the hands of the people and the taxpayers instead of a powerful centralized government.

And now — with MEDEFCO — the spirit of those first groups has made its way into Macomb County.

"We're about preserving the Constitution," said Ken Matiyow, a member of the MEDEFCO Board of Directors. "We're here to protect individual liberties and we're for candidates who stand for the Constitutional guarantees we're all entitled to.

"And it's really important," Matiyow said. "Because many people don't understand what a Constitution is really for."

Beginning with eight people seated around a restaurant table, the group's numbers have grown to as many as 200 with the potential to fill banquet halls and influence the policy they desperately seek to change.

Michigan Senate Majority Leader and Attorney General candidate Mike Bishop said the state budget was passed without a tax increase because of the efforts of groups like MEDEFCO.

"If you had not made your voices heard," Bishop said as the keynote speaker at the meeting Tuesday night, "we would have not passed that budget — this year, too. It's so important that you continue — democracy is only as good as the people who participate. Continue to participate."

Bishop wholeheartedly endorses the Tea Party groups and their beliefs and ideals, saying that he feels connected to them all.

"This group is interested in getting involved," he said. "And it's my responsibility as a representative of the government to make sure I talk to them and encourage them to get involved."

Bishop said that without involvement from Tea Party groups such as MEDEFCO, the government will continue to run without hearing the voice of the people.

"There's got to be a connection at some point in time," he said. "And I want to be here to make that connection."

Since the regime change in the last presidential election, Tea Party groups — named in honor of those who protested British rule in 1773 by dumping British-made tea into Boston Harbor— say they have felt disconnected from the government. They feel that decisions and policies were being made without their best interests in mind. The government's move to a national health care system was seen as a unifying cause.

"There are some entities out there that want to take this country away from us," Hollister said. "But this country does belong to us."

Obamacare 2010: A Destroyer Of The Best Medical System In The World

Obamacare2010 is coming in at a cost of just shy of $1 Trillion and is still "deficit neutral".  They are strying the "saved jobs" BS on us again.  But this time they will make up the "deficit neutral" parts.  All the nasty aspects of the Senate bill are there, new taxes, mandates, the union exemption and the Louisiana Purchase.  Added into the mix are price controls. 

What is missing is any public option, which is sure to be a problem for the more liberal Democrats. Federal funding of abortion is still in there and that will be problematic for the now skittish moderates.

                                                                                                                                                                                        Now Obama and the Democrats are reaching out their hands to the Republicans. The Republicans need to wise up with these blame game Democrats. They always need to find a way to blame the Republicans when their bills go wrong. And they always go wrong. If the Democrats want to jam this health care bill down the American voters throats then let them do it alone. The Republicans need to distance themselves from this bill and the Democratic Party. The Democrats and Obama have painted themselves into a corner and they need the Republicans to lay down in the paint so the Democrats can escape without a drop on them. The Republicans need to put their plan forword for the nation to see and leave the Democrats painted in the corner. Let the Progressive Democrats and the Reagan Democrats fight it out on their own.                                                                                                                                                                        Obama,Reid and Pelosi  are learning that when they divided the country with their "sit down and shut up" attatude towords the opposition they would be left holding the short stick.  Now it is time for the Democrats "chicken to come home and roost". Obama and the Democrats played with fire and now they are getting burned. The other

 old saying that comes to mind is,"he that lives by the sword, shall die by the sword".  These are those "evil racists" that the left have been talking about.                                                                                                                                                  There are a lot of TEA Party meetings and rallies going on all around the country. As we have seen the left are getting their union thugs and funding organized.  As they have said many times on this blog and other media, "They will not go out without a fight".  We need to take the time to promote these events and attend them.  It will only be in mass that we get recognized as the largest idealogy in America.

The White House Is Accused Of Federal Crimes In Specter,Bennet Races. And The House Of Cards Comes Down

White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet Races

By Jeffrey Lord Thanks Paul for bird dogging this story.

"Whoever solicits or receives … any….thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both." -- 18 USC Sec. 211 -- Bribery, Graft and Conflicts of Interest: Acceptance or solicitation to obtain appointive public office
 "In the face of a White House denial, U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak stuck to his story yesterday that the Obama administration offered him a "high-ranking" government post if he would not run against U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania's Democratic primary."
-- Philadelphia Inquirer
February 19, 2010
"D.C. job alleged as attempt to deter Romanoff"
--Denver Post
September 27, 2009
A bombshell has just exploded in the 2010 elections.
For the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.
The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.
On Friday, Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak, the Democrat challenging Specter for re-nomination, launched the controversy by accusing the Obama White House of offering him a federal job in exchange for his agreeing to abandon his race against Specter.
In August of 2009, the Denver Post reported last September, Deputy White House Chief of Staff Jim Messina "offered specific suggestions" for a job in the Obama Administration to Colorado Democrat Andrew Romanoff, a former state House Speaker, if Romanoff would agree to abandon a nomination challenge to U.S. Senator Michael Bennet. Bennet was appointed to the seat upon the resignation of then-Senator Ken Salazar after Salazar was appointed by Obama to serve as Secretary of the Interior. According to the Post, the specific job mentioned was in the U.S. Agency for International Development. The Post cited "several sources who described the communication to The Denver Post."
The paper also describes Messina as "President Barack Obama's deputy chief of staff and a storied fixer in the White House political shop." Messina's immediate boss is White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
Sestak is standing by his story. Romanoff refused to discuss it with the Denver paper. In both instances the White House has denied the offers took place. The Sestak story in the Philadelphia Inquirer, reported by Thomas Fitzgerald, can be found here, While the Denver Post story, reported by Michael Riley, from September 27, 2009, can be read here.
In an interview with Philadelphia television anchor Larry Kane, who broke the story on Larry Kane: Voice of Reason, a Comcast Network show, Sestak says someone -- unnamed -- in the Obama White House offered him a federal job if he would quit the Senate race against Specter, the latter having the support of President Obama, Vice President Biden and, in the state itself, outgoing Democratic Governor Ed Rendell. Both Biden and Rendell are longtime friends of Specter, with Biden taking personal credit for convincing Specter to leave the Republican Party and switch to the Democrats. Rendell served as a deputy to Specter when the future senator's career began as Philadelphia's District Attorney, a job Rendell himself would eventually hold.
Asked Kane of Sestak in the Comcast interview:
"Is it true that you were offered a high ranking job in the administration in a bid to get you to drop out of the primary against Arlen Specter?"
"Yes" replied Sestak.
Kane: "Was it Secretary of the Navy?"
To which the Congressman replied:
"No comment."
Sestak is a retired Navy admiral.
In the Colorado case, the Post reported that while Romanoff refused comment on a withdrawal-for-a-job offer, "several top Colorado Democrats described Messina's outreach to Romanoff to The Post, including the discussion of specific jobs in the administration. They asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject."
The Post also noted that the day after Romanoff announced his Senate candidacy, President Obama quickly announced his endorsement of Senator Bennet.
The discovery that the White House has now been reported on two separate occasions in two different states to be deliberately committing a potential violation of federal law -- in order to preserve the Democrats' Senate majority -- could prove explosive in this highly political year. The 60-seat majority slipped to 59 seats with the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, a Democrat, and the election of Republican Senator Scott Brown. Many political analysts are suggesting Democrats could lose enough seats to lose their majority altogether.
This is the stuff of congressional investigations and cable news alerts, as an array of questions will inevitably start being asked of the Obama White House.
Here are but a few lines of inquiry, some inevitably straight out of Watergate.
* Who in the White House had this conversation with Congressman Sestak?
* Did Deputy Chief of Staff Messina have the same conversation with Sestak he is alleged to have had with Romanoff -- and has he or anyone else on the White House staff had similar conversations with other candidates that promise federal jobs for political favors?
* They keep logs of these calls. How quickly will they be produced?
* How quickly would e-mails between the White House, Sestak, Specter, Romanoff and Bennet be produced?
* Secretary of the Navy is an important job. Did this job offer or the reported offer of the US AID position to Romanoff have the approval of President Obama or Vice President Biden?
* What did the President know and when did he know it?
* What did the Vice President know and when did he know it? (Note: Vice President Biden, in this tale, is Specter's longtime friend who takes credit for luring Specter to switch parties. Can it really be that an offer of Secretary of the Navy to get Sestak out of Specter's race would not be known and or approved by the Vice President? Does Messina or some other White House staffer -- like Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel -- have that authority?)
* What did White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel know, and when did he know it?
* What did Congressman Sestak know and when did he know it? Was he aware that the offer of a federal job in return for a political favor -- his withdrawal from the Senate race -- could open the White House to a criminal investigation?
* What did Senator Specter know about any of this and when did he know it? .
* What did Governor Rendell, who, as the titular leader of Pennsylvania Democrats, is throwing his political weight and machine to his old friend Specter, know about this? And when did he know it?
* Will the Department of Justice be looking into these two separate news stories, one supplied by a sitting United States Congressman, that paint a clear picture of jobs for political favors?
* Will Attorney General Holder recuse himself from such an investigation?
While in recent years there have been bribery scandals that centered on the exchange of favors for a business deal (Democrat William Jefferson, a Louisiana Congressman) or cash for earmarks (Republican Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham), the idea of violating federal law by offering a federal job in return for a political favor (leaving two hotly contested Senate races in this instance) is not new.
Let's go back in history for a moment.
It's the spring of 1960, in the middle of a bitter fight for the Democratic presidential nomination between then Senators John F. Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, Lyndon Johnson, Stuart Symington and the 1952 and 1956 nominee, ex-Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson.
Covering the campaign for what would become the grandfather of all political campaign books was journalist and JFK friend Theodore H. White. In his book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Making of the President 1960, published in 1961, White tells the story of a plane flight with JFK on the candidate's private plane The Caroline. The nomination fight is going on at a furious pace, and White and Kennedy are having another of their innumerable private chats for White's book while the plane brings JFK back from a campaign swing where he spoke to delegates in Montana. 
The subject? Let's let White tell the story.

The conversation began in a burst of anger. A story had appeared in a New York newspaper that evening that an Eastern Governor had claimed that Kennedy had offered him a cabinet post in return for his Convention support. His anger was cold, furious. When Kennedy is angry, he is at his most precise, almost schoolmasterish. It is a federal offense, he said, to offer any man a federal job in return for a favor. This was an accusation of a federal offense. It was not so.

Let's focus on that JFK line again:
"It is a federal offense, he said, to offer any man a federal job in return for a favor."
With a fine and jail time attached if convicted.
What Larry Kane discovered with the response of Congressman Sestak -- and Sestak is sticking to his story -- combined with what the Denver Post has previously reported in the Romanoff case -- appears to be a series of connecting dots.
A connecting of dots -- by Democrats -- that leads from Colorado to Pennsylvania straight into the West Wing of the White House.
And possibly the jail house.
"It is a federal offense," said John F. Kennedy, "to offer any man a federal job in return for a favor."
And so it is.
 

Bible Study In Government Run Schools

FRANKFORT, KY - Kentucky may follow the lead of Texas and other states in allowing Bible classes to be taught in public schools.



Kentucky's Senate Education Committee has unanimously approved legislation that would effectively return the Bible to the state's classrooms.

Democratic state Sen. David Boswell of Owensboro is sponsoring the legislation, which he said is modeled after a measure approved by Texas lawmakers some two years ago.

Boswell said he believes the legislation is constitutional because the Bible will be taught from a literary perspective, not a religious one. He said it calls for teaching, not preaching, the Bible.

The proposed Bible courses would be offered as electives, meaning schools could choose whether to offer them as a social studies credit and students could decide whether to take them.

Does this look like 350-400 people to you? Buffoon Fest 2010 Union Fiesta

The crowd listens to speakers The future of America. ick. Does anyone out there think this is even close to 350 people? The only ones that seem to be saying how many people were there are the left wing bloggers. It is good to finaly see a peaceful rally with the left wing.  Now the other thing that bothers me about the left wing and their rallies is they call us astroturf and blaming us for organizing and taking funds for organizations. But look at them and in addition to HCAN and OFA, the following groups were sponsors:

Repower America	AFL-CIO
United Food & Commerc. Workers	SEIU
MichUHCAN	MI Citizen Action
UAW	Mich. Universalist Social Just. Net.
Reform Immigration of America	Planned Parenthood of MI
Women's Internatl. League for Peace & Freedom	Progress Michigan
AFSCME Council 25	America Votes Action Fund
Unite HERE Local 24	MoveOn.org
Ameinu Detroit	MOSES
Michigan Voice	ACCESS
Interfaith Council on Peace & Justice	Workmen's Circle/Arbeter Ring of MI
Health Care Now	SE Mich. Jobs with Justice
Detroit Metro Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice	Detroit Area Peace with Justice Network
Gray Panthers of Metro-Detroit	Mich. Alliance to Strengthen Soc. Sec. & Medicare
Mid-MI Coalition for Health Care Reform

These people are all just a Big Labor shill. They are the Progressive movement Glenn Beck has talked about. These are the fringe 21% of Americans that want to make the other 79% bend to their wants. The fringe can't hurt us unless we let them. This Progressive war on America and the majority of Americans isn't over yet. They are regrouping and ready to "do what they must to get free health care". The unions wont pay for it but they will give money to make sure we do have to pay for it. Ask yourself why are the unions so interested in health care reform? We know it aint to save the businesses. Because that would be a first for a union.  We need to call these liberals out and shame them. If you here a liberal talking dumb let them know how dumb they sound. Bring them back to reality no matter how pissed they get. Give them proof of how dumb they sound. Like these people saying that this picture is wrong but the sign in sheet,that they have is right. That's just dumb. If these people on the left weren't serious it would be a lot more funny.

Art Laffer on Stimulus

Things have not been working the way Obama and Congress said they would. In fact if you bet against them you would be right almost 100% of the time. Now I understand that Obama has never been in the real world and he needs time to adjust to it and his new job. But the facts still remain that Obama is wrong almost always. And being wrong so often you would thing he would be wrong in a way that is good for America. Now soon Obama wont be able to blame everybody and his Grandmother for what is going wrong in the country and with his booksmart planes. Soon he will blame his own admin. I can already tell that Obama never blames himself for anything. That isn't a leader that leads as AL pointed out in another post. But maybe as the Conservative movement takes shape we may be able to lead our President to victory over this recession. I still have hope for Obama. And he seems wishy washy enough to go with the strongest flow. As spring nears and more and more rallies take shape,we will see it effect Congress. November will be the thing that will make Obama stand up for the Conservative movement. The Democrats think the unemeployed want extentions. No they don't. They want the jobs that were promised for the first jobs/stimulus bill. We have been waiting patiently for Obama and the Democrats to do what they promised they would. We watched them bail out the unions at the Big Two,the unions in the government and they bailed out the banks. Giving the unemployed a check for $25 a week isn't what they wanted. They want the governemnt to get out of the way of the businesses they will end up working for. It is the private sector and the non-union employees that have bared the brunt of this recession on their backs. Over the last 5 years the private sectors average pay went from $41,700 to $41,300 a year. The union governemnt jobs went from $59,000 a year to $71,000 and next year it will go up to $75,000. This is all a bunch of BS.  And these same government employees have a pention plan like none other. They can retire when they are 50 with 90% of their pay in many cases as long as they get their 30 years in. They can't get fired. Isn't that about right Bruce? You were a government employee until you "retired" didn't you? Why don't you tell us how that works out for you? Being able to retire long before you are even 60. Is that fair or is it greed? Will it be fair if you union members don't have to pay for your "cadillac"health insurance to help pay for the health care reform you want? Is it fair that you put that tax on the people that make almost half as much as you union government emploees . We the people are getting sick and tired of getting bullied by the greedy unions. It is time they start paying and recieving just like we do. We employee them not the other way around.

Vice President Biden gave a mini media tour to defend the $787 billion stimulus package on its first anniversary -- while saying the country is in "deep trouble."
In a USA Today op-ed, Biden touted jobs created, taxes cut and infrastructure projects started because of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. "The best is yet to come," he added.

We've gotten the act moving ahead of schedule, and most projects are coming in under budget. A tough, independent group of inspectors general is on the lookout for fraud, and we've killed scores of projects that don't pass muster. Your tax dollars are being used wisely and quickly to turn the economy around.

Americans know this downturn isn't over yet -- we have a long way to go before we are over the economic chasm left by the Great Recession. Year Two of the Recovery Act will build on the successes of Year One, continuing to generate jobs while seeding the transformative investments needed to ensure that our economy remains the world's strongest.

On CBS's "The Early Show," Biden said he understood why people were angry. "We get it," he said. But he said the White House was doing better than Congress.
"Washington, right now, is broken. I don't ever recall a time in my career where to get anything done, you needed a supermajority, 60 out of 100 senators."
"I've never seen it this dysfunctional," he said.

Biden also talked about national security, saying he was less worried about a large-scale terrorist attack than a lone bomber.                                                                                                                                      OK, I have some issues with what honest Joe Biden said.  First off he calls Washington more "disfunctional". Is that the Republicans fault even though they have the majority in Washington? Is it disfunctional that the Blue Dog Reagan Democrats agree with the Republicans and the American people. And does this admin. really think that 96% of Americans just are too dumb or ignorant to understand that the stimulus package "worked"? Come on Joe when 7% of Americans thinkl that Elvis is still alive I'd have to say that only Washington DC thinks the stimulus worked. Maybe that is because it only worked for Washington. Heck, Obama said that Mighigan got 180,000 jobs and Biden says 96,000 jobs. These guys can't keep their stories straight. That is a sign of a lie. And I see a lot of that going on in Washington.                                               Now this one bothers me the most. They have been telling us about the economy and the jobs when they were running for office. They called it the worse recession since the Great Depression. If that was true,and it is looking more true since they took office, then why did they put the jobs package in the second half of the stimulus spending jobs bill? Their first year they have done nothing short of attacking businesses. They attacked and put fear in the businesses that give us jobs. And now in an election year they decide to focus on jobs. But see they think that 96% of Americans are too dumb to understand the difference between Wahington reality and the American reality. Jobs should have been job one for this admin. Did they start the fire so they could sell us the hose and water? Their words and actions aren't matching up. Washington is out of cantrol and they are blaming the Republicans. Give me a break and start taking reponsability for the actions of your administration and their effect on the culture of Washington. I don't think 96% of Americans are too dumb to know jobs creation when they see it. They were the ones that defined what the Stimulus would do. And what would happen if we didn't do the Stimulus Jobs Bill. Americans listened to what you told them and now they are learning not to listen to the BS they are selling us. How dumb are they to be so far on the fringe of "believers" without any tangable evidence? They are the Elvis lives "believers".

Five Army Translators Arrested In Fort Jackson Poison Plot

Five Army Translators Arrested in Alleged Fort Jackson Poison Plot

CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the "Fort Jackson Five" may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

In Hard Times People Do Crazy Things

What a shame. This man had a problem with life and the cards he was dealt so thought he would kill some IRS workers. This man was crazy. Not a right wing nor a left wing wacko. He was just a wacko. He burned his house and then this. Thank God,once again,THANK GOD no one but this psycho was killed. I'm afraid that as more and more Americans loose hope and income they will start doing crazy things like this. We have been seeing a rise in crime and violence because of the economy. This isn't Bush's fault,Obama's fault,Democrats or Republicans fault. It is one man acting on his own to bring distruction onto the Federal government IRS. Please spend some time to talk to God tonight. Ask Him to be with all the people in the world. He is where hope is. We are the greatest nation the world has ever known. And with the help of our Lord and Savior we will get through this hard time better then we were before these times. For any of you that might be loosing hope,don't. Those that made it out of the
Great Depression came out better for it. We are still "one nation under God". And as long as you believe that then you have hope. God bless you all both left and right.

According To Keith Olbertmann We Are All Racist

Wow now this guy thinks all white people have some racism in them. Well everyone but Keith Olbertmann and his father. And he calls Beck crazy? Carnival in Germany features this float:

I had to add these. They are just too funny, just like the comic Keith Olbortmenn. I think it would be fun to just print that Blunder one and put it in the back of my car window.

The Stimulus Bill Wasn't About Jobs

The Stimulus Bill was sold to us as a jobs bill. But with only 1/3 of the money spent how could it be about jobs? The Stimulus bill is just a slush fund for the Democratic Party. They are using this bill as a their own little piggy bank. As if we need any more proof that this bill was not designed to  do what they said it would. Then why do they feel we need another jobs bill when the first bill isn't even half way spent yet? Is that the 'change' the American people voted for? Can you seriously say that the bill has done what it was supposed to do? Or what it was sold to us as? Joe 'the buffoon' Biden is coming to the Detroit area today to talk about the jobs this admin. has saved or created. The last time they told us about the jobs they have 'saved or created' almost half of the jobs were not real. But the left will buy the Democrats 'saved or created' theory of jobs creation and economic growth hook, line and sinker. Just like they bought 'global warming' and 'alien seeding earth' theories. I'm starting to believe Darwins theory of evelution. They more I listen to these progressives. The more I think they are the relatives of monkies.

More On The Largest Scientific Hoax Of All Time

As a key figure of the Climategate scandal admitted that there is no evidence the earth has warmed recently and new research suggests existing records aren’t sufficient support for global warming claims.

Phil Jones, who stepped down from his position at the Climatic Research Unit after emails surfaced showing the unit apparently conspiring to manipulate climate data, also said global warming may not be unprecedented after all.

READ JONES’ ‘INCONVENIENT INTERVIEW’ WITH THE BBC HERE

From the Mail Online:

The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.
Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.
The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.
The admissions will be seized on by sceptics as fresh evidence that there are serious flaws at the heart of the science of climate change and the orthodoxy that recent rises in temperature are largely man-made.
Professor Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit after the leaking of emails that sceptics claim show scientists were manipulating data.
The raw data, collected from hundreds of weather stations around the world and analysed by his unit, has been used for years to bolster efforts by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to press governments to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

Meanwhile, The Times reports that scientists have found that temperature records are not a reliable indicator of warming. In many cases, they said, “apparent temperature rise was actually caused by local factors affecting the weather stations, such as land development.”
Reports the Times:

In its last assessment the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the evidence that the world was warming was “unequivocal”.
It warned that greenhouse gases had already heated the world by 0.7C and that there could be 5C-6C more warming by 2100, with devastating impacts on humanity and wildlife. However, new research, including work by British scientists, is casting doubt on such claims. Some even suggest the world may not be warming much at all.
“The temperature records cannot be relied on as indicators of global change,” said John Christy, professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a former lead author on the IPCC.
The doubts of Christy and a number of other researchers focus on the thousands of weather stations around the world, which have been used to collect temperature data over the past 150 years.
These stations, they believe, have been seriously compromised by factors such as urbanisation, changes in land use and, in many cases, being moved from site to site.                                                                                                                                                                                                      So while the liberals are our rioting like usual. The reality is that we can't trust the old data that global warming is a reality. It's a religious cult but not a scientific reality like they want us to believe. Americans are waking up the the fact that the scientist have falsified most of the data. Or they have lost what data they had to support the global warming claims from the left.  While the ecoterrorist are out in full force trying to make us believe their religion by force at the Olymipic games, the truth is setting the majority of Americans free from what could be the largest Cap and Tax ever.  The left don't care one bit about the truth. They can't give up the thought that the cultist beliefs they have been raised with are most likely false. They don't want to know the truth. They can't handle the truth. And as their lies are brought out to light they will become more violent and angry. They have based their lives and their idealogy on the theory of global warming. They refuse to look at this through scientific eyes.                                             Now I have no problem with their pagan global warming cult. If they want to start a religious cult in Georgetown go right ahead. If they want to catch Hailies Comet by drink the "juice" have at it. It's you live to do what you will with it. Just don't harm others and stop pushing your beliefs on others. And stop trying to make us pay for your beliefs with our tax $'s.                  I'm not saying that we don't need to get off of our foreign oil addiction. But with all the new evidence that global warming is a hoax, in order for some on the left to control the "New Energy". We need to look at our own gas,oil and nuke as a more realistic and inexpensive energy source. Why should we have to pay more for an energy source just because Al Gore and the Democrats friends are selling it?

The Liberals Are Protesting The Olympics Now

As the organizers put it, the protest’s goal was to “block the arteries of capitalism” to make the government pay for the “carbon footprint” of some of the Olympic Games. “It’s such a farce,” said one frustrated protester. “They’re having to helicopter in snow. What do you think the carbon footprint is of a helicopter?”
“Not to mention the fleet of SUVs,” said another. “It was supposed to be the greenest games ever…there’s one guy driving around in a van with the carbon footprint of a building!”
The protester clarified that the Olympics would be funny if they were not, in fact, so sad.
Attendees also weren’t too happy that government resources are going to promoting an over-budget sporting event instead of causes related to “social justice,” such as domestic housing and security issues.
Roughly two hundred masked demonstrators destroyed department store windows and splattered paint along Vancouver venues on Saturday. Some justified the behavior because of the “history” of the corporations in spreading smallpox.
No word yet on whether those having actual heart attacks had any difficult navigating to a hospital during the Heart Attack march.
“We want to prevent traffic from moving,” said a protester.

Stop Big Labor Today

I am encouraging you to oppose the draconian policies being pushed by Big Labor. These union bosses are seeking to subject workers to intimidation and strip them of their rights, all in an effort to increase their own power and influence.

It is vital that you oppose all legislation that strips workers of their rights, or expands the oppressive power of Big Labor.

Whereas: The overwhelming majority of Americans believe it is just plain wrong to force workers to pay union dues; and

Whereas: The Card Check Forced Unionism Bill would do away with the secret ballot election and allow the union bosses to intimidate one-on-one a majority of workers into signing so-called “union authorization cards”; and

Whereas: The Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill would force all police officers and firefighters under union boss control and is just the first step towards forcing all public employees under Big Labor’s thumb; and

Whereas: Legislation repealing Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act would automatically wipe out all state Right to Work laws, forcing hundreds of thousands of American workers to join and pay dues to a union just to get or keep a job;

Therefore: In the interests of freedom, a healthy economy, and a productive job market, I urge you to oppose any effort to advance Big Labor’s forced-unionism agenda.
