It’s come to this…
The state-run media is now pushing their anti-tea party propaganda from sources at the anti-militaryJew-hatingconservative-hatingHuffington Post. And, they’re reporting this propaganda without a single piece of evidence.
On Saturday the media reported without a shred of evidence that tea party protesters were shouting obscenities and “n***er” at black Representatives on Capitol Hill. The representatives said it happened as they walked from the Longworth office building to the Rayburn office building.
The Huffington Post is concerned that those conservative, church-going, taxpaying tea party protesters are using words like “slaughter” on their signs.
This McClatchy News story was one of the top articles on Yahoo on Saturday Night:
Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia’s John Lewis
Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol , angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted “nigger” Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis , a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s.
The protesters also shouted obscenities at other members of the Congressional Black Caucus , lawmakers said.
“They were shouting, sort of harassing,” Lewis said. “But, it’s okay, I’ve faced this before. It reminded me of the 60s. It was a lot of downright hate and anger and people being downright mean.” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver , D- Mo. , said he was a few yards behind Lewis and distinctly heard “nigger.” “It was a chorus,” Cleaver said. “In a way, I feel sorry for those people who are doing this nasty stuff – they’re being whipped up. I decided I wouldn’t be angry with any of them.”
Protestors also used a slur as they confronted Rep. Barney Frank , D- Mass. , an openly gay member of Congress . A writer for Huffington Post said the crowd called Frank a “faggot.”
But, look at this…
Here’s video proof that these horrible leftists are liars:
No one screamed “n***er.” No one screamed “f*ggot.” No one was spit on.
Do you suppose the state-run media will correct their propaganda piece now?
Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver says he will not press charges for being spit on. That’s probably a good idea. REMEMBER: These radical liars with stop at nothing to ram their socialist agenda down America’s throat. And, the state-run media will report their racist filth without question.
While the Democrats are going around blaming the Republicans for the failing health care reform it is the TEA Party and the Blue Dog Democrats that are holding up the bill. Their is a bipartisan effort to stop this obamacare. The far left will do whatever they have to to pass this obamanation of a bill. These people weren't funded by the unions like the KKKoffee Klan. This is true grass roots. We will take the Blue Dogs if they are conservative. And we will take the Republicans and Libertarians. But Progressives and liberals can go to their Klan meetings.
Just days after holding a rally in Washington, Tea Party activists returned Saturday to make one final stand against the health care reform bill ahead of an expected Sunday vote.
Thousands of Tea Partiers descended upon the Capitol in an effort to derail the march toward "Obamacare" by pressuring undecided lawmakers to vote "no" Sunday.At times protestors broke into chants of "Kill the bill!"More than 60 Tea Party affiliates organized the event in the four days since Tuesday's rally after organizers were flooded with requests to hold another one for those who couldn't take off of work for the first one.
Saturday's event featured actor Jon Voight, Reps. Mike Pence, R-Ind., chairman of the House Republican Conference, Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Steve King, R-Iowa.
"This is the final push, and the Democrats' last ditch effort to push through the most unpopular legislation in years," Bachmann said.
Bachmann rejected the notion that the Tea Partiers were gathering too late to stop House Democrats who appear close to having the 216 votes required to pass the bill on Sunday.
"They're exactly on time," she told Fox News at the rally. "Over 25,000 Americans came here practically on 24-hour notice. They can't wait to be the welcome wagon for President Barack Obama when he comes this afternoon for a meeting with House Democrats."
After the rally, Tea Partiers plan to confront undecided Democratic lawmakers in their congressional offices and convince them to vote against the bill. And if the Democrats go against we the people they had better be ready for some retribution. We will not be shoved to the side by the Democratic Party as if we mean nothing. But if they chose to go against the will of the people we will hold the whole Democratic party responsable. Right now the Blue Dogs and the Republicans are doing what the majority of Americans want. Democrat will be as dirty a word as liberal and progressive is,when we are done with them. This obamacare bill will bankrupt this country in 4 years if it is passed and who will bail us out? I'd like to see an amendment to the bill that will make all Democrats have to pay for the failing of this bill when it bankrupts us. This way they have a little skin in the game. The unions and the other mutt groups don't have to pay for this bill but they are backing it and promoting it with lies and BS. Lets put an amendment in that lets all the Democrats that want this bill passed to pay for it when it fails. What do ya think about that for bipartisanship?
Priests for Life is speaking out after a group of nuns endorsed the proposed healthcare reform measure.
The group of nuns under the umbrella of the Catholic Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) has publicly broken ranks with U.S. Catholic Bishops who oppose the bill. Father Frank Pavone, national director at Priests for Life, tells OneNewsNow that most nuns who are members are actually pro-life.
"It's just that they are severely misinterpreting the effect this bill will have on the lives of the unborn and by extension on the health -- the moral health, the physical health -- of our entire nation," he explains. "Abortion is far more destructive than apparently they are taking account of when they take this particular position."
The group claims to represent 59,000 nuns, but Pavone believes it may only be the 59 nuns who signed the letter. "The accuracy in what they're saying is that they, together, collectively have responsibility for that many nuns," he notes. "It certainly doesn't mean they all agree with this."
Since a vote on the healthcare measure could come soon, the Priests for Life national director is urging people to contact their elected representatives in Washington, even if they have done so before, and urge them to reject the current bill.
In another sign that Catholics are weighing in on both sides of the debate, The Associated Press reports that a retired Catholic bishop supports President Obama's healthcare overhaul, despite the church's official opposition. Retired Bishop John McCarthy of Austin, Texas, says he is opposed to abortion and believes that the bill before Congress would guard against using taxpayer funds to pay for it.
A newly hired conservative political analyst for CNN says the more Americans learn about the Democrats' healthcare legislation, the less they like it.
A vote could occur as early as Sunday in the House on the Democrats' healthcare bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) needs 216 votes to pass the measure. On Thursday, Republicans lost an effort to force House Democrats to hold a direct vote on the measure.
Erick Erickson is the editor of Redstate.com and a political contributor for CNN and its new program John King, USA, which debuts Monday night. He says the odds are in favor of Democrats passing the bill in the midst of widespread public opposition.
"I will guarantee you this, that one way or the other there will be a Resurrection Sunday this year -- but not for healthcare if it doesn't make it past Easter," he predicts.
Erickson believes Democrats who support the planned government takeover of healthcare are blinded by their liberal ideology. He says that many lawmakers go to Washington with a mindset that they have been elected to use their best judgment -- and that "the people back home" lack the facts in determining how pieces of legislation will benefit them.
"The problem for the Democrats in this case is that the more facts people do learn, the less and less they like healthcare," says Erickson. "But they are so removed and insular in Washington from the rest of the nation, they're going to be in for a very rude awakening if they pass this measure and then go home for the Easter holiday."
The House will first have to approve the Senate healthcare bill, and then both chambers will pass a package of fixes agreed to in negotiations with the White House.
Call these Reps. and tell then not to vote yes on this health are bill. We must stop this bill from going through. The Blue Dogs are with use. We need to remind them we are with them on this vote. This is your time in history to say you did something to stop it.

Throughout the course of American history there have been, periodically, events so dramatic, so huge that they were completely life altering; they changed the way people went about their day: • When the Founders pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor • When the Framers signed the Constitution • The Civil War • Pearl Harbor • September 11, 2001
All of these events didn't just happen to the immediate people involved. They grabbed each and every citizen at his core and forced people to reevaluate who they were and what they believed, before moving forward again.
Pearl Harbor was a hugely important day, but that wasn't the end of the story. America had a choice to make. And as everyone knows, the decisions that followed over the next few years after that deadly December 7 attack radically changed America's course. That is what's coming.
If you think I'm talking about the health care bill, you couldn't be more wrong. The health care bill is merely a battle (and a huge battle; it may be Normandy) but it's part of a bigger war. And the war is the fundamental transformation or restoration of this country. That's the end game.
While everyone will focus on the political games surrounding the health care bill — the "Slaughter rule"; the secrecy; the arm twisting; the bribes; the lies — and they should address those things, there is something much bigger — much bigger than Obama or Bush or Clinton. We've been off track for decades and it's finally catching up with us.
How have we allowed our system to make this type of bill a possibility? Americans need to ask that question and find the answers, because even if this health care bill is stopped there will eventually be another massive corrupt bill and another and another
We have to fix the entire system. It's broken.
I read a report today that the Greece bailout deal is falling apart. Their markets tanked on the news. I read another report that said if Spain goes into default, the whole world goes into default. There was a report that barely got any news: Moody's saying that America may lose its Triple-A rating. But there was a small line at the end of the article that got even less attention — I even missed this one the first time through. This is incredible. Have you heard anyone out there focusing on this? Moody's said for America to stay a Triple-A rated country, it would require "fiscal adjustments of a magnitude that, in some cases, will test social cohesion."
Let me translate: "fiscal adjustments" — you are going to less, not more; "social cohesion" — Greece! They believe society may experience some sort of breakdown. But the fiscal adjustments must be made.
During TARP discussions, Congressman Brad Sherman said members were told if they didn't pass TARP, there would be martial law. Congressman Paul E. Kanjorski was told that without the Fed intervention of an electronic bank run, world economic collapse would have happened within 24 hours. I'd like to know: What are they being told about health care today?
Whether health care is stopped or not, world finance as we know it is going to reset. And the president knows it.
This bill is the centerpiece of progressive structure. Remember, this isn't just health care. It's a grab of all education dollars as well. This is a long-term strategy: Someone has to be standing when that evil capitalism finally fails us.
This is exactly what happened in the Soviet Union. The leaders there saw the writing on the wall. If you want the full story, read Stephen F. Cohen's "Soviet Fates and Lost Alternatives." If you don't have time, google this: the Belavezha Accords.
They knew tough times and collapse were ahead, so they prepared for it by creating a structure. But in the Soviet Union, the opposite happened: They took a step toward freedom. While we are heading the other way: Dependency on big government. Because, as I mentioned, they will tell you that the free market failed us: People don't have jobs. They will say: Come, we'll make it all better.
This is a turning point for America. We are standing at a crossroads. We have to decide who we want to be when we come out on the other side.
I'm going to tell you a story. You tell me if it's unreasonable to draw these conclusions:
The 121 Walgreen stores in Washington state won't take any new Medicaid patients, saying that filling their prescriptions is a "money-losing proposition." If they say that, what does the government do to Walgreens? If other chains do the same thing, then the government has a choice: Do they let them continue to turn away Medicaid patients or do they force them, through regulation, to accept Medicaid patients?
Well, we already know the answer to that one because we've seen it: They'll force them. And since it's a losing money proposition, the government will soon be faced with another choice: Do we let them fail or do we bail them out and nationalize the industry?
Well, we already know the answer to that one because we've already seen it: They will nationalize it. It's a cascade effect and it will happen in every industry that's deemed "too big to fail." Take a look at the tree of liberty. Here is the side that everyone is paying attention to now: • Spending • Special interests • Corruption • Bribery
But the other side is what we need to focus more on; these are the things that got us here: • Lies • Arrogance • Greed • Ego
All of those things lead to the breakdown of personal integrity, which leads to the breakdown of the family. And it allows corruption into our lives. It's what gives us Bernie Madoff.
Again, it's important to focus on the political side of the tree; it's important. Bret Baier did an amazing job doing just that last night, as he grilled the president and held his feet to the fire. But we'll be endlessly fighting the health care battle and the cap-and-trade battle and the green jobs battle and the tax battle until we fix the system.
How do you do it? Listen to this quote on George Washington from William H. Wilbur, author of "The Making of George Washington":
"Greatness of moral character, forthright honesty, quiet modesty, thoughtful consideration for others, thoroughness, kindness, and generosity. During the American Revolution, and for more than 50 years thereafter, young Americans were inspired to attain these qualities by the vivid recollections of men who had served with George Washington."
Each and every day you must remind yourself of three words: faith, hope and charity. They are seeds on the liberty tree. And these three things have been perverted over several decades.
We must plant them again.
I am calling to all of you freedom-loving Americans to come once again to Washington D.C. to gather on the Capitol steps on Saturday, at 12 o’clock noon.
We must come by the thousands.
Speaker Pelosi will stop at nothing to fulfill her corrupt conquests. She will bring all of the corrupt ACORN liars to try to bully all the Democrats that may be having pangs of guilt knowing quite surely what their votes can and will do. If they’re bullied into saying “yes,” it will destroy America.
The Democrats are assaulting the very pillars of our democracy. As the debate on Obamacare reaches the long, painful end, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is confronting a political nightmare. She may not have the 216 votes necessary to pass the Senate's health care bill in the House.
Hence, Mrs. Pelosi and her congressional Democratic allies are seriously considering using a procedural ruse to circumvent the traditional constitutional process. Led by Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, New York Democrat and chairman of the House Rules Committee, the new plan - called the "Slaughter Solution" - is not to pass the Senate version on an up-or-down vote. Rather, it is to have the House "deem" that the legislation was passed and then have members vote directly on a series of "sidecar" amendments to fix the things it does not like.
This would enable House Democrats to avoid going on the record voting for provisions in the Senate bill - the "Cornhusker Kickback," the "Louisiana Purchase," the tax on high-cost so-called "Cadillac" insurance plans - that are reviled by the public or labor-union bosses. If the reconciliation fixes pass, the House can send the Senate bill to President Obama for his signature without ever having had a formal up-or-down vote on the underlying legislation.
Many Democrats could claim they opposed the Senate bill while allowing it to pass. This would be an unprecedented violation of our democratic norms and procedures, established since the inception of the republic. Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution stipulates that for any bill to become a law, it must pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate. That is, not be "deemed" to have passed, but actually be voted on with the support of the required majority. The bill must contain the exact same language in both chambers - and in the version signed by the president - to be a legitimate law. This is why the House and Senate have a conference committee to iron out differences of competing versions. This is Civics 101.
The Slaughter Solution is a dagger aimed at the heart of our system of checks and balances. It would enable the Democrats to establish an ominous precedent: The lawmaking process can be rigged to ensure the passage of any legislation without democratic accountability or even a congressional majority. It is the road to a soft tyranny. James Madison must be turning in his grave.
The Weekly Standard took a look at what the real cost of obamacare is. After they stripped away all the Voodoo math that was given to the CBO they found out that things aren't what the Democrats are telling us. Big suprise politicians that don't give the whole truth.
From The Weekly Standard: […] For a variety of reasons, this tally doesn’t remotely reflect the bill’s real ten-year costs. First, it includes 2010 as the initial year. As most people are well aware, 2010 has now been underway for some time. Therefore, the CBO would normally count 2011 as the first year of its analysis, just as it counted 2010 as the first year when analyzing the initial House health bill in the middle of 2009. But under strict instructions from Democratic leaders, and over strong objections from Republicans, the CBO dutifully scored 2010 as the first year of the latest version of Obamacare. If the clock were started in 2011, the first full year that the bill could possibly be in effect, the CBO says that the bill’s ten-year costs would be $1.2 trillion.
But even that wouldn’t come close to reflecting the bill’s true costs. The CBO projects that over the next four years, less than two percent of the bill’s alleged “ten year” costs would hit: just $17 billion of the $940 billion in costs that the Democrats are claiming. In fact, the costs through President Obama’s entire presidency, should he be reelected, would be $336 billion. What would the president leave behind for his successor? According to the CBO, he would leave behind costs of $837 billion during his successor’s first term alone. If his successor were to serve a second term, he or she would inherit a cool $2.0 trillion in Obamacare costs — about six times its costs during Obama’s own tenure. This legislation is a ticking time-bomb.[…]
We are seeing the fruition of Chicago style politics and we will be the ones that get cought holding the obamacare bag when this thing goes south. This weekend you need to find a rally against this health care bill and let the government know what we expect of them as our servants. If this bill passes then good luck when you get ill. You'll need it. Read the whole Weekly Standard article it will amaze you what the Democrats are trying to push through.
