<![CDATA[I'd like to refer to Steven Anderson as a "so-called Christian" or a "lapsed Christian." Yet Pastor Anderson, Pastor Wiley Drake, and other Christian leaders who want Obama dead appear to have a lot of support from other Christians. Aren't any Christians embarrassed by people like this? Isn't this divisive to your community? Is it any surprise to you that people assume the "Psalm 109:8" bumper stickers are part of the "Death to Obama" campaign? <br> __________________________________________________ <br> <br> <a href="http://www.abc15.com/content/news/southeastvalley/tempe/story/Tempe-pastor-reiterates-wish-for-President-Obamas/MX2Vzd4unEi9n8PschT50w.cspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.abc15.com/content/news/southeastvalley/tempe/story/Tempe-pastor-reiterates-wish-for-President-Obamas/MX2Vzd4unEi9n8PschT50w.cspx</a> <br> <br> <big>Tempe pastor reiterates wish for President Obama's death</big> <br> Reported by: Tim Vetscher <br> Email: tvetscher@abc15.com <br> Last Update: 9/11/2009 3:20 pm <br> <br> TEMPE, AZ -- The United State Secret Service is speaking out about an East Valley pastor who is praying for President Barack Obama's death <br> <br> Spokesperson Darrin Blackford said Monday, "We are aware of Pastor Anderson's comments and an appropriate follow up will be conducted." <br> <br> Parishioners leaving the Faithful Word Baptist Church Sunday carried not just their Bibles, but guns as well. <br> <br> Pastor Steven Anderson said he and his congregation have received death threats after a controversial sermon earlier this month. <br> <br> "Guns are a great deterrent," said Anderson. "We haven't had any violence because people know if they come down here swinging a baseball bat, we're ready to protect ourselves." <br> <br> On August 16th, Anderson delivered a sermon titled "Why I Hate Barack Obama." <br> <br> In it, Anderson admitted he prays for the president's death. <br> <br> It is a position he reiterated Sunday. <br> <br> "If you want to know how I'd like to see Obama die, I'd like him to die of natural causes," said Anderson. "I don't want him to be a martyr, we don't need another holiday. I'd like to see him die, like Ted Kennedy, of brain cancer." <br> <br> The sermon so incensed Bill Demski he traveled from his home in Glendale to picket Anderson's 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning service in Tempe. <br> <br> "A man of the cloth wants to kill the president, how sick can you get," asked Demski. <br> <br> Yet members of the Faithful Word Baptist Church defended their pastor's opinion of the president. <br> <br> "If (Obama) thinks the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are obsolete, it would be better if (Obama) wasn't here," said parishioner Renee Houlihan. <br> <br> But Anderson said despite the threats, he has no plans to change his message. <br> <br> "I'm not going to back down, I wouldn't be worth my salt as a preacher if I let popularity determine what I preach," said Anderson. <br> <br> To listen to Anderson's sermon "Why I Hate Barack Obama," click here. <br> <br> The Southern Poverty Law Center is looking into Anderson's church to determine if it should be labeled as a hate group according to Heidi Beirich, Director of Research and Special Projects for the SPLC. <br> <br> One of the parishioners who attended Sunday night services at the Faithful Word Baptist Church was Christopher Broughton. <br> <br> "I actually moved to the area because this church was preaching the message I believe in," said Broughton. <br> <br> Broughton had an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle outside President Barack Obama's speech to the VFW at the Phoenix Convention Center earlier this month. <br> <br> MORE: Man who brought gun to Obama rally worked with Libertarians <br> <br> The night before the speech, on August 16th, Broughton listened to Anderson's "Why I hate Barack Obama" sermon. <br> <br> "I concur, I think we'd be better off if God would send (Obama) where he's going now instead of later," said Broughton. "(Obama) is destroying our country." <br> <br> When asked if he was advocating violence against the President, Broughton said he wouldn't answer the question directly. <br> <br> "I don't care how God does it, I'm not going into further detail than that," said Broughton. "It would be better now than later." <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[The New York Times reported this week that the overall commander of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan is seeking to impose tighter control over the activities of special forces units, after recent operations led to more civilian deaths. General Stanley McChrystal’s concern is not the deaths, however, but the manner in which they are fuelling Afghan hatred for the US-led occupation and their occasional exposure in the international media. On March 5, McChrystal publicly released a portion of a directive he had issued—reportedly in late January or early February—which had placed conditions on the night raids that occupation troops regularly conduct on Afghan civilian homes. <br> <br> McChrystal noted in his release: “Despite their effectiveness and operational value, night raids come at a steep cost in terms of the perceptions of the Afghan people. The myths, distortions and propaganda arising out of night raids often have little to do with the reality—few Afghans have been directly affected by night raids, but nearly every Afghan I talk to mentions them as the single greatest irritant. Night raids must be conducted with even greater care, additional constraints, and standardisation throughout Afghanistan.” McChrystal’s directive stipulated new conditions, including the involvement of Afghan government forces in the raids; treating people with dignity; and informing victims as to how to get compensation for seized or damaged property. The cosmetic character of the order, along with that of an earlier directive calling for caution before launching air strikes, can be judged by the following incidents since early February: <br> <br> * The London Times reported on March 13 that American special forces, accompanied by Afghan police, entered a housing compound near Gardez, in Paktia province on February 12. They killed a local police commander named Daoud, his brother and three women, two of whom were pregnant. His 15-year-old son was also shot. <br> <br> According to an unpublished UN report obtained by the Times, the occupation forces broke in at 3.30 a.m. while Daoud’s extended family was celebrating the naming of a baby. The man who noticed them cried “Taliban”. Daoud and his son were gunned down as they ran into the courtyard to investigate. His brother, who recognised the assailants as Americans, was shot dead as he yelled in English “don’t fire, we work for the government”. The three women were killed by either a blast of gunfire that entered the house or, according to witnesses cited in a New York Times article, were gunned down as they attempted to help the men. <br> <br> The UN report stated that the remaining people in the compound were “assaulted by the US and Afghan forces, restrained and forced to stand barefoot for several hours outside in the cold”. Daoud and his 18-year-old niece allegedly died of their wounds due to lack of medical treatment. Eight men were taken away and interrogated for four days before being released. <br> <br> An initial press release by the US/NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) claimed that the three women had been “tied up, gagged and killed” before the special forces’ attack. ISAF later admitted the allegation was false and also that Daoud was not Taliban. <br> <br> * On February 21, special forces in Uruzgan province called in a helicopter gunship strike on three trucks they were monitoring, killing 27 people. The occupants were all unarmed and all civilians. An anonymous NATO official told the New York Times: “What I saw on that video would not have led me to pull the trigger. It was one of the worst things I’ve seen in a while.” The nationality of the troops has not identified but the Australian Special Air Service (SAS) is the most active special forces unit in Uruzgan province. It has been blamed for a number of atrocities against civilians. <br> <br> * According to the London Times, American and Afghan troops in February raided the home of Rahmatullah Sediqi, a 61-year-old shopkeeper in Ghazni province who had provided shelter to Taliban fighters the night before, reportedly under threat. The Taliban were gone. The occupation forces shot dead his wife and son. <br> <br> * This month, a helicopter gunship fired a missile into the guest room of a housing compound in Karakhil village in Wardak province, killing three alleged Taliban insurgents. Locals claim that a landing party of occupation troops then entered the home and shot dead its owner, 32-year-old engineer Hamidullah, his wife and his son. Another child was seriously wounded. <br> <br> <br> The publicity given to McChrystal’s directive by the New York Times has all the hallmarks of a public relations exercise, intended to give the appearance that he is “reining in” special forces’ operations to protect civilian lives. In reality, the entire military strategy of the US occupation force in Afghanistan, drawn up by commanders McChrystal and General David Petraeus, is predicated on the use of what can only be described as death squads to terrorise the Afghan people into submission. Civilians who die in the process are regarded by the Obama White House and the Pentagon as “collateral damage”. <br> <br> In Iraq, McChrystal served under Petraeus as the head of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) during the so-called “surge” from 2007 to 2008. The surge had two key aspects. Firstly, a concerted effort to bribe a substantial section of the anti-occupation resistance to cease fighting, and secondly, the wholesale use of JSOC-directed units to assassinate or capture insurgents who would not lay down their arms. The Iraqi government estimated that in the first months of 2008 alone, over 3,000 members of the anti-occupation Shiite Mahdi Army militia were killed, mainly by covert operations. McChrystal was selected by Petraeus—and endorsed by Obama—to head US/NATO forces in Afghanistan because of the so-called success of the operations in Iraq. Under his command, Afghanistan and northwest Pakistan have become free fire kill zones. Jet fighters, gunships and unmanned Predator drones stalk the sky while gangs of heavily-armed and highly-trained special forces scour the ground, seeking to kill or detain anyone perceived to be organising armed resistance. In case after case, the people they slaughter are defenceless men, women and children. <br> <br> <br> As was revealed this week, a sinister, off-the-books private mercenary operation to help identify increasing numbers of targets for assassination also existed until it was shut down following CIA complaints (see: “US military created private spy and murder squad in Afghanistan”). Last year, 586 civilian deaths in Afghanistan were officially blamed on the actions of the occupation forces. According to the New York Times, Afghan and UN officials believe special forces units were responsible for the majority. The newspaper noted that the UN human rights office report stated last year: “These forces often operate with little or no accountability and exacerbate the anger and resentment felt by communities.” <br> <br> <br> There is no official body count of how many alleged “Taliban” or insurgents were killed. Their deaths also intensify local hostility toward a murderous foreign occupation force. <br> <br> Protest Obama's Bloddy Afganistan Offensive - Saturday, March 20, 2010, 12:00 pm Park Street Station • Park and Tremont Streets • Boston <br> Start: 2010 Mar 20 - 12:00pm <br> <br> ........poster recommends............. <br> <br> Obama’s Bloody Afghanistan Offensive - U.S. Out of Afghanistan, Iraq!

The decision was a striking repudiation from the very organization that provided the blueprint for death penalty laws in this country. The institute, with a membership of more than 4,000 lawyers, judges and law professors of the highest qualifications, is the leading independent organization in the United States producing scholarly work to clarify and improve the law. <br> <br> In the decade after the institute published its law, which was part of a comprehensive model penal code, the statute became the prototype for death penalty laws across the United States. Some parts of the model -- such as the categorical exclusion of the death penalty for crimes other than murder and for people of limited mental abilities -- withstood the test of time. But the core of the statute, which created a list of factors to guide judges and jurors deciding when to sentence someone to death, has proved unworkable and fostered confusion and injustice. <br> <br> Now, after searching analysis by our country's top legal minds, the institute has concluded that the system it created does not work and cannot be fixed. It concluded that we cannot devise a death penalty system that will ensure fairness in process or outcome, or even that innocent people will not be executed. <br> <br> I am speaking for myself, not as a representative of the institute, but I can say with certainty that the institute did not reach these conclusions lightly. It commissioned a special committee and a scholarly study, heard various viewpoints and debated the issues extensively. A strong consensus emerged that capital punishment in this country is riddled with pervasive problems. <br> <br> The death penalty cannot balance the need for consistency in sentencing with the need for individualized determinations. Its administration is unequal across racial groups. There is a grave lack of resources for defense lawyers. The law is distorted by the politics of judicial elections, and it consumes a disproportionate share of public resources. <br> <br> California's death penalty exemplifies these problems. Portions of California's law were copied from the institute's model statute. The system now is on the verge of collapse. There are about 700 people on death row in California, and it can take 25 years for mandatory appeals to be completed. Since 1978, California has executed 13 prisoners, while 72 have died of old age or other causes. <br> <br> Resources are woefully inadequate. More than half of the people on death row don't have access to a constitutionally-required lawyer. A statewide commission found that there remains a serious risk that the state will execute an innocent person. And then there is the cost. Housing a prisoner on death row costs taxpayers $90,000 a year more than if that prisoner were held in another type of high-security prison. The total additional cost for housing all of California's death row inmates is more than $60 million a year. <br> <br> These problems are entrenched in the death penalty system, both in California and nationwide. The cumulative result: Executions remain as random as lightning strikes, or more so, and that is the very problem the institute's model statute intended to fix. In addition, across the country, at least 139 individuals have been released from death row after establishing their innocence. The institute's action comes at a time of widespread reevaluation of capital punishment. Fifteen states have abandoned capital punishment, including three in the last three years. <br> <br> In 2009, the country saw the lowest number of death sentences since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. We now have decades of experience, which the institute lacked when it proposed its model statute almost 50 years ago. Life without the possibility of parole, now an important alternative in nearly every state, was then virtually untried. To the extent that society needs to punish murderers severely, it can do so far more effectively using tough yet fair prison sentences rather than through an ineffective and extravagant death penalty. <br> <br> The American Law Institute could have chosen to do nothing. But having laid the intellectual and legal groundwork for the modern death penalty, it concluded that it had a responsibility to act now that the system's fatal flaws have fully emerged. The withdrawal of the model death penalty statute recognizes that it is impossible to administer the death penalty consistently and fairly, and it therefore should not remain a punishment option in this country. The institute could no longer play a role in legitimizing a failed system. How much longer can any of us?

<![CDATA[ <br> <br> <br> View Full Image(Photo: AP Photo / Charles Dharapak, File) <br> <br> Associate Justice John Paul Stevens sits for a new group photograph, Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009, at the Supreme Court in Washington.Though Stevens is a little more than two years away from having the longest tenure in the court’s history and about one year away from becoming the oldest-ever serving justice, the 89-year-old judge made clear in an interview with The New Yorker that he has no interest in breaking any records. <br> <br> He also said he has “great admiration” for President Obama and said he is “sure” that he’ll retire within the next three years – roughly around the time Obama will complete his first term as president. <br> <br> “I’d rather not answer that,” Stevens told The New Yorker when asked if it mattered to him which president named his replacement. <br> <br> But he added later, “I … certainly think he (Obama)’s capable of picking successfully, you know, doing a good job of filling vacancies.” <br> <br> Since he was appointed by President Gerald R. Ford in 1975, Stevens has shifted from the ideological center of the court to the left, which he presently leads. <br> <br> Though Obama would likely pick another liberal to fill in Stevens' seat if the justice decided to retire within three years as planned, law experts say he'd be hard to replace as his departure would be like losing the chief justice of the liberal Supreme Court. <br> <br> “ Stevens is an unlikely liberal icon,” Jeffrey Toobin of The New Yorker wrote in the write-up for his interview with Stevens. <br> <br> While in good health, Stevens’ decision to hire just one clerk instead of his usual four sparked growing speculation of a near-future retirement announcement from the justice, who turns 90 on April 20. <br> <br> When Stevens retires, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will replace him both as the eldest member of the court and also the leader of the court’s liberals. <br> <br> Notably, however, Ginsburg has suffered from a range of health problems and has also been thought to be one of the most likely to retire next. <br> <br> But the 77-year-old justice expressed last year her desire to remain on the court for several more years. <br> <br> Presently, the swing vote on the closely divided court is almost always cast by Justice Anthony Kennedy <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[U.S. Woman Charged in Terror Plot Pleads Not GuiltyBy IAN URBINA <br> Published: March 18, 2010 <br> The authorities say the woman, Colleen R. LaRose, is a terrorist sympathizer known by her Internet name JihadJane, and had expressed a desire to become a martyr for an Islamist cause. <br> <br> According to a federal indictment unsealed this month, Ms. LaRose, 46, was intent on killing a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the prophet Muhammad atop the body of a dog. <br> <br> Wearing a green jumpsuit and cornrows in her hair, Ms. LaRose, of Pennsburg, Pa., appeared in court to face a four-count indictment, including charges of conspiring with jihadist fighters and pledging to commit murder in the name of a Muslim holy war. If convicted, she would face a possible life sentence in prison and a $1 million fine. <br> <br> Federal officials said that Ms. LaRose, who is white and has blond hair and green eyes, boasted to other jihadists that she could go anywhere undetected. In August, she traveled to Sweden carrying the American passport of her companion, Kurt Gorman, which the authorities say she stole and planned to give to one of her co-conspirators in a plot to kill the cartoonist Lars Vilks. <br> <br> Prosecutors say she grew acquainted online with violent co-conspirators from several other countries and that in a 2008 YouTube video she said she was “desperate to do something” to ease the suffering of Muslims. <br> <br> Ms. LaRose was arrested in October in Philadelphia while returning to the United States from Europe. <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[Are You Serious????????????? The basic Foundation "IS" The Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This Government has hijacked Our Constitution by P R E T E N D I N G the 14th Amendment was ever ratified. This is the Dirty trick of this government and how they operate. This was their intent when States not willing to sign the 14th were held at gun point. This government works on the ILLUSSION it was ratified. It's time we good people realize where the trickery started and correct our status. The foundation IS there, and one by one good people are correcting their status!! The numbers alone proves there is a base, the base starts with the last number of Nationals being 25 million!! ( Nationals; A Constitutional individual who denies 14th Amendment Citizenship!) <br> It's because of Good Faith clauses that each individual can correct their status and recall all the CONTRACTS that each hold with this government making each individual "servient to them, (them being this government)" <br> <br> They use the 14th to gain the powers they have, when the 14th, doesn't exist and they know it. They use it against you because "you don't know." What they are hoping is; YOU don't ever know!! Your trapped into their web unless you are willing to get out. You would be more of a Patriot if you did. Their deciet runs high!! Each 14th Amendment citizen can be removed as a 14th Amendment citizen and not be procecuted or servient to their Private Law.

<![CDATA[I read through Ann Coulter's health care plan that you posted. Unfortunately, it contains several lies, and she also doesn't have any proof that some of her ideas would work. It is more a matter of opinion, and it's quite easy to show reasonable arguments why her plan won't work. <br> <br> Coulter wrote: <br> <br> "<b>Of course, an insurance company has to be able to refuse NEW customers with "pre-existing conditions." Otherwise, everyone would just wait to get sick to buy insurance. It's the same reason you can't buy fire insurance on a house that's already on fire.</b> <br> <br> She is correct about that, and reasonable people would agree that's it not fair to let people buy insurance the moment they get sick. However, reasonable people who design private health insurance plans would simply include a waiting period: you are not covered for any pre-existing conditions during the first year you are insured. This way, they'd have to pay their own medical bills during the first year they pay premiums--this is their self-inflicted penalty for not buying insurance in advance. The company would only have to pay for accidental injuries the first year. <br> <br> "<b>What Democrats are insinuating when they denounce exclusions of "pre-existing conditions" is an insurance company using the "pre-existing condition" ruse to deny coverage to a current policy holder -- someone who's been paying into the plan, year after year.</b>" <br> <br> Insinuating? Ann Coulter is a blatant liar. There is ample evidence of insurers collecting premiums for years, and then yanking the coverage the minute the patient gets a serious illness. See my sources below for a few examples that made it into the press. <br> <br> "<b>Any insurance company operating in the free market that pulled that trick wouldn't stay in business long.</b>" <br> <br> In the current market, people have no choice--their employers may offer one plan, or a choice of several, all of which follow the same business practices of searching for excuses to drop a patient once they get an expensive illness. Also, consumers buying their own insurance, and employers choosing plans for their employees, are both likely to choose pans with lower premiums. Those companies that cheat their seriously-ill customers to keep costs down will be able to offer the most attractive rates. That's how they'll stay in business. <br> <br> You may argue that once the public learns about how a company cheated several of their premium-paying customers, many of the other customers of that company will stop paying premiums and sign up with a different insurer. But if an insurer gets a bad reputation and starts losing business, all they have to do is to reorganize under a new corporate name. Blackwater is now called Xe. Halliburton still owns KBR, but now it's KBR providing construction and engineering services in Iraq, not "Halliburton", the company with the poor reputation. I'm waiting for Toyota to create a subsidiary and start producing new models under a new feel-good brand name that it NOT Toyota, even if still owned by the same people. Our current health insurance companies haven't had to do this yet because there hasn't been enough public outcry against their "death panel" tactics. They can afford the best public relations firms to protect their image. <br> <br> In Coulter's deregulated world, the abuse of premium-paying customers will likely continue, if the government isn't allowed to punish companies that cheat the consumers this way. It will be up to the consumer to sue the insurance company for refusing to pay the claim. Not something a consumer should have to go through when they've just been diagnosed with a serious illness. And insurance companies may be happy to drag out these cases in court, because the seriously ill patient may die before the case is over. This happens now. <br> <br> <b><u>Sources</u></b> <br> <br> <b>1.)

You won't, after all, have to spend very much of a healthy person's dollar on medical care because he or she won't need much medical care. And the insurance industry accomplishes this through two main policies. "One is policy rescission," says Potter. "They look carefully to see if a sick policyholder may have omitted a minor illness, a pre-existing condition, when applying for coverage, and then they use that as justification to cancel the policy, even if the enrollee has never missed a premium payment." <br> <br> And don't be fooled: rescission is important to the business model. Last week, at a hearing before the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, Rep. Bart Stupak, the committee chairman, asked three insurance industry executives if they would commit to ending rescission except in cases of intentional fraud. "No," they each said. <br> <br> <b>3.)

And the committee obtained documents that showed Blue Cross supervisors praised employees in performance reviews for rescinding policies." <br> <br> "In November 2007, The Times reported that insurer Health Net Inc. paid bonuses to employees based in part on their involvement in rescinding policies. According to internal corporate documents disclosed through litigation, Health Net saved $35 million over six years by rescinding policies." <br> <br> <b>4.)

<![CDATA[When: Saturday, March 20, 2010, 12:00 pm <br> Where: Park Street Station • Park and Tremont Streets • Boston <br> Start: 2010 Mar 20 - 12:00pm <br> <br> Having announced late last year that he was ratcheting up the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan to nearly 100,000, President Barack Obama last month launched the largest military operation since the U.S. and NATO forces invaded that country in 2001. On February 13, thousands of troops attacked rural Marja in Taliban-controlled southern Afghanistan. This was the first stage of a wider military offensive aimed at seizing control of Kandahar, the country’s second-largest city. <br> <br> Washington offered cynical promises that the civilian population would be spared during this offensive. But bloody atrocities directed against civilians are inherent in all imperialist occupations because the occupiers view every local resident as a potential insurgent. Indeed, on the second day of the assault in Marja, U.S. troops fired missiles into a family’s home, killing 12 people, half of them children. On February 21, in the deadliest single U.S./NATO attack on civilians in six months, three minibuses were blown away in an air strike, killing 27. <br> <br> Parallel with Obama’s surge in Afghanistan, the White House is expanding the CIA’s program of using unmanned drone aircraft to launch missile attacks against Taliban fighters in Pakistan, where the government, under U.S. pressure, has launched offensives against Taliban forces in the northwest region bordering Afghanistan. Already, in the first year of Obama’s administration, the U.S. carried out more drone strikes in Pakistan than in the previous three years under Bush. More than 700 Pakistanis were killed in these attacks last year alone. Meanwhile, the Pentagon reportedly plans to reinforce the more than 100 U.S. special operations forces currently in Pakistan. <br> <br> The U.S. military is also stepping up operations in the strategically important Horn of Africa and Gulf of Aden region. Along with escalating drone strikes against suspected Al Qaeda fighters in Yemen, in December Obama approved a series of operations by U.S. commandos together with Yemeni troops that have killed scores of people. In Somalia, the U.S. is reportedly providing training, funds and logistical support for a planned offensive by what passes as the local government, backed up by African Union “peacekeepers,” against clan-based Islamic fundamentalist militias that control much of the country. <br> <br> The Obama administration has also expanded Bush’s efforts to force Tehran to rein in its nuclear program. Iran, which claims that it does not aim to develop nuclear weapons, is now subject to a barrage of UN and U.S. sanctions. We oppose these sanctions, which are acts of war. In Saudi Arabia last month, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lectured Iran’s rulers that they “do not have a right” to “pursue nuclear weapons.” In fact, given the threats by the U.S. imperialists as well as their Israeli clients, it would be perfectly reasonable for Iran to pursue acquisition of nuclear weapons and adequate delivery systems to deter military attack. <br> <br> Wars of conquest and occupation are integral to the capitalist-imperialist system, as is demonstrated by the entire history of U.S. imperialism from the Philippines at the dawn of the 20th century to Iraq and Afghanistan today. At home, the capitalist rulers who have looted the economy rake in hundreds of billions in government bailout money while the working class and poor are driven into deeper deprivation, homelessness and misery. The unemployment rate for black workers in Michigan is projected to soon surpass 25 percent—the rate of total unemployment in the depths of the 1930s Great Depression. The only way out of this system predicated on exploitation, racist oppression and war is socialist revolution: the seizure of power by the proletariat and the building of a workers state that will expropriate capitalist property and institute a planned economy based on production for social need. <br> <br> In the face of the 2001 and 2003 invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Spartacist League stood for the military defense of those countries against imperialist attack without giving any political support to the reactionary Taliban cutthroats or the bloody capitalist dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. We raised the call for class struggle at home against the U.S. capitalist rulers. We underlined that every victory for the imperialists in their military adventures encourages more predatory wars while every setback serves to assist the struggles of working people and the oppressed the world over. Today we continue to call for the immediate withdrawal of all imperialist troops and bases from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia. <br> <br> In contrast, for years the reformist left built an “antiwar movement” premised on the illusion that the blood-soaked capitalist rulers could be pressured to make peace and serve human needs, exemplified by timeworn demands for money for schools/jobs/health care, not war. As intended, the effect of rallying against “Bush’s war” was to promote the electoral fortunes of the Democratic Party—the other party of U.S. imperialism. As the Democrats retook Congress in 2006 and especially as Obama’s presidential campaign took off, the protests withered. Upon Obama’s election as president, the International Socialist Organization (ISO) held a victory party and Workers World Party (WWP) declared its “joy”: Mission accomplished. <br> <br> Obama’s election has, also as intended, given a facelift to U.S. imperialism. But with U.S.-led forces sinking deeper into the Afghan quagmire, Obama’s attempt to persuade Washington’s NATO allies to commit additional troops is largely falling flat. While Germany agreed to up its troop levels, France balked at the request. And the Dutch coalition government fell when its Labor Party component refused Washington’s request to extend that country’s military presence in Afghanistan for another year. The New York Times (25 February) editorialized: “We fear the Dutch decision could provide cover for wavering politicians elsewhere—Germany, for example, or Canada, which is now scheduled to pull out its troops at the end of 2011.” <br> <br> At home, with most of the population opposing Obama’s war in Afghanistan and reeling from the effects of the Great Recession, the liberal-reformist left is beset by dread that Republicans are about to regain control of Congress and, even, the White House two years later. The liberal Nation (12 February) spelled it out most clearly: “As for the surge in Afghanistan and the endless war that goes with it, by election time 2010 it’s an even bet that it will have further undermined any hopes of a late-inning Democratic Party revival.” <br> <br> The ISO chimes in, more in sorrow than in anger: “Having given the Democrats a huge opportunity to move the country away from the right-wing Republican dominance of the Bush-Cheney years, voters are now not sure they want to return the Democrats to power in the 2010 elections” (“How the Democrats Blew It,” Socialist Worker, 29 January). For his part, WWP leader Larry Holmes bemoans Obama’s “thankless job—and some people consider it a setup—of presiding over this political period” (Workers World, 18 February). <br> <br> The reformists’ current task is to re-energize a “movement”—any movement—to put some wind back in the Democrats’ sails. Thus the message on offer from the annual March “antiwar” exercise staged by the ANSWER coalition, an outfit founded by WWP and now controlled by the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL): Obama, the Wall Street Democrat, must start listening to his “progressive” supporters, too. After all, according to a 13 December 2009 posting by the PSL on its Web site, Obama is in the middle of a delicate “balancing act between the interests of imperialism, on one hand, and the growing opposition around the world against imperialism on the other.” <br> <br> Baldly expressing the disappointment felt by the President’s reformist fan club, the ISO wrote in “The Year of Frustrated Hopes”: “Obama had the opportunity to change the direction of U.S. politics and society—and the popularity to accomplish it” (Socialist Worker, 29 January). Here is a crystal-clear example of what Bolshevik leader V.I. Lenin described in “Marxism and Reformism” (September 1913): “Reformism actually means abandoning Marxism and replacing it by bourgeois ‘social policy’.” As exemplified by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal coalition in the 1930s, the pro-capitalist labor bureaucracy and reformist left have long sought to influence “bourgeois policy” by means of pressuring the Democratic Party, deceptively offered as the friend of labor, blacks and the poor. <br> <br> In the midst of the popular euphoria over Obama’s inauguration, we reaffirmed the need to fight to break the political chains binding the proletariat and the oppressed to the capitalists. As we wrote in “Barack Obama Takes Helm of Racist U.S. Imperialism” (WV No. 929, 30 January 2009): <br> <br> “There is no ‘common ground’ between imperialist president Barack Obama, representative of the capitalist system, which is based on the exploitation of labor, and the working class, including its growing immigrant sector and its strategic black component. Labor desperately needs a fighting leadership to unleash the power of the multiracial working class in struggle for workers’ economic interests and for black rights, to organize the unorganized, to demand full citizenship rights for immigrants, and to oppose U.S. imperialism…. <br> <br> “We fight for a workers party with a revolutionary internationalist program aimed at the liberation of the proletariat and all the oppressed. As opposed to the Obama-enthralled reformist opponents, our revolutionary continuity extends from the Bolsheviks of Lenin and Trotsky, who led the 1917 October Revolution. Our watchwords are those of these revolutionary antecedents: for a proletarian, revolutionary and internationalist party to lead the struggle for the emancipation of the proletariat and all the oppressed masses. For new October Revolutions!” <a href="http://www.icl-fi.org/english/wv/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.icl-fi.org/english/wv/index.html</a> <br> <br> ]]>
<![CDATA[ <br> <br> Liberals keep complaining that Republicans don't have a plan for reforming health care in America. I have a plan! <br> <br> It's a one-page bill creating a free market in health insurance. Let's all pause here for a moment so liberals can Google the term "free market." <br> <br> Nearly every problem with health care in this country -- apart from trial lawyers and out-of-date magazines in doctors' waiting rooms -- would be solved by my plan. <br> <br> <br> In the first sentence, Congress will amend the McCarran-Ferguson Act to allow interstate competition in health insurance. <br> <br> We can't have a free market in health insurance until Congress eliminates the antitrust exemption protecting health insurance companies from competition. If Democrats really wanted to punish insurance companies, which they manifestly do not, they'd make insurers compete. <br> <br> The very next sentence of my bill provides that the exclusive regulator of insurance companies will be the state where the company's home office is. Every insurance company in the country would incorporate in the state with the fewest government mandates, just as most corporations are based in Delaware today. <br> <br> That's the only way to bypass idiotic state mandates, requiring all insurance plans offered in the state to cover, for example, the Zone Diet, sex-change operations, and whatever it is that poor Heidi Montag has done to herself this week. <br> <br> President Obama says we need national health care because Natoma Canfield of Ohio had to drop her insurance when she couldn't afford the $6,700 premiums, and now she's got cancer. <br> <br> Much as I admire Obama's use of terminally ill human beings as political props, let me point out here that perhaps Natoma could have afforded insurance had she not been required by Ohio's state insurance mandates to purchase a plan that covers infertility treatments and unlimited OB/GYN visits, among other things. <br> <br> It sounds like Natoma could have used a plan that covered only the basics -- you know, things like cancer. <br> <br> The third sentence of my bill would prohibit the federal government from regulating insurance companies, except for normal laws and regulations that apply to all companies. <br> <br> Freed from onerous state and federal mandates turning insurance companies into public utilities, insurers would be allowed to offer a whole smorgasbord of insurance plans, finally giving consumers a choice. <br> <br> Instead of Harry Reid deciding whether your insurance plan covers Viagra, this decision would be made by you, the consumer. (I apologize for using the terms "Harry Reid" and "Viagra" in the same sentence. I promise that won't happen again.) <br> <br> Instead of insurance companies jumping to the tune of politicians bought by health-care lobbyists, they would jump to tune of hundreds of millions of Americans buying health insurance on the free market. <br> <br> Hypochondriac liberals could still buy the aromatherapy plan and normal people would be able to buy plans that only cover things such as major illness, accidents and disease. (Again -- things like Natoma Canfield's cancer.) <br> <br> This would, in effect, transform medical insurance into ... a form of insurance! <br> <br> My bill will solve nearly every problem allegedly addressed by ObamaCare -- and mine entails zero cost to the taxpayer. Indeed, a free market in health insurance would produce major tax savings as layers of government bureaucrats, unnecessary to medical service in America, get fired. <br> <br> For example, in a free market, the government wouldn't need to prohibit insurance companies from excluding "pre-existing conditions." <br> <br> Of course, an insurance company has to be able to refuse NEW customers with "pre-existing conditions." Otherwise, everyone would just wait to get sick to buy insurance. It's the same reason you can't buy fire insurance on a house that's already on fire. <br> <br> That isn't an "insurance company"; it's what's known as a "Christian charity." <br> <br> What Democrats are insinuating when they denounce exclusions of "pre-existing conditions" is an insurance company using the "pre-existing condition" ruse to deny coverage to a current policy holder -- someone who's been paying into the plan, year after year. <br> <br> Any insurance company operating in the free market that pulled that trick wouldn't stay in business long. <br> <br> If hotels were as heavily regulated as health insurance is, right now I'd be explaining to you why the government doesn't need to mandate that hotels offer rooms with beds. If they didn't, they'd go out of business. <br> <br> I'm sure people who lived in the old Soviet Union thought it was crazy to leave groceries to the free market. ("But what if they don't stock the food we want?") <br> <br> The market is a more powerful enforcement mechanism than indolent government bureaucrats. If you don't believe me, ask Toyota about six months from now. <br> <br> Right now, insurance companies are protected by government regulations from having to honor their contracts. Violating contracts isn't so easy when competitors are lurking, ready to steal your customers. <br> <br> In addition to saving taxpayer money and providing better health insurance, my plan also saves trees by being 2,199 pages shorter than the Democrats' plan. <br> <br> Feel free to steal it, Republicans! <br> <br> <br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br> Ann Coulter is Legal Affairs Correspondent for HUMAN EVENTS and author of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors," "Slander," ""How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)," "Godless," "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans" and most recently, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and their Assault on America. ]]>

<![CDATA[Mon Mar 15, 5:38 pm ET <br> <br> BOSTON – A trial has begun in Boston for a former top U.S. Department of Homeland Security official accused of encouraging her Brazilian housekeeper to remain in the United States illegally. <br> <br> Lorraine Henderson was a regional director of homeland security, customs and border protection. She was responsible for stopping illegal immigrants from entering the country through Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. <br> <br> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <br> <br> I am tired of illegal immigrants coming to America, using our schools, our medical facilities and sucking the life out of those that waited to come here legally. We don't need them and I wish she had more like Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Arizona handling the illegal problem out of Washington. I say put our military along the borders, both north and south and keep them out . Find the employers paying the low wages for the labor and shut the employers down or fine them to the point that they don't hire illegals anymore. When an illegal shows up at one of our hospitals to give birth, that child should not be considered an american citizens, they are the child of an illegal and should be sent back to the country with the illegal when released from the hospital. If you break the law and sneak into America, you children should not be automatic citizens because the parents are here illegally. America can end the illegal immigrant problem by getting tough. Round them up and ship them out. that's cheaper than what is happening now. I think Shriff Joe from Airzona should be put in charge of the illegal immeigrant problem in a America. He'd be able to solve it for us and save us millions of dollars. <br> . <br> <br> <br> <br> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <br> <br> <br> ]]>

Bart Stupak, D-Mich., said Friday. <br> <br> Stupak confirmed to the National Review Online that his bloc of an estimated dozen pro-life votes against the healthcare bill is fracturing. With it will go any chance to add more stringent restrictions on federal funding going to support health plans that cover abortion. <br> <br> "It’s been made clear to us that they won’t insert our language on the abortion issue," Stupak told the Review. <br> <br> "At this point, there is no doubt that they’ve been able to peel off one or two of my twelve," he said. "The others are having both of their arms twisted, and we’re all getting pounded by our traditional Democratic supporters, like unions.” <br> <br> Stupak told the Review he would definitely vote against the bill, which adds to the growing whip count on the bill. <br> <br> The congressman also questioned whether Democrats who recognize the rights of the unborn would feel comfortable in the party going forward, though he said he would not leave the Democratic Party. <br> <br> <br> © Newsmax.

<![CDATA[Washington Times <br> <br> Nationalized health care is the progressives' Golden Fleece. It is their obsession, the ultimate prize that was denied to previous administrations but is closer than it ever has been. As the ability of government to take over the health care system draws tantalizingly near, the president and leaders of the majority party have become infected with a kind of mania. President Obama and Democratic congressional leaders seem determined to ram through a severely flawed piece of legislation by any means necessary, heedless of the desires of the American people or the negative impact on the system they mistakenly say needs to be saved. <br> <br> A large majority of Americans are satisfied with their current health care plans, though most also think the system could be improved. Yet proponents of the Democrats' radical health care overhaul brazenly claim the system is irretrievably broken and only radical surgery will save it. According to the latest Gallup poll numbers, less than a fifth of even those who favor health reform agree with that position. The majority of Americans are divided between those who want a scaled-back health care measure and those who want the current project dropped entirely. If any system is broken, it is the legislative process. <br> <br> Long-time Democratic pollsters Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen warned last week that "the battle for public opinion has been lost" on heath care. Democrats have backed themselves into a corner. If the bill fails, they suffer a defeat. But if they win, they also lose because Democrats "will face a far greater calamitous reaction" in November. "Wishing, praying or pretending will not change these outcomes," they caution. <br> <br> But the glittering prize is too near for such sage counsel. The liberal leadership is infused with a sense of mission. They are the midwives to history, shepherding landmark legislation that will revise the American social contract and usher in a new era, or some such foolishness. All they need to do is pass the bill, and the poor, frightened, deluded American people will see the wisdom of their decisions. Hence House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's memorable (and revealing) comment, "We have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what is in it." In her imagination, once the bill is signed, voters won't remember the struggle, just the glow of the accomplishment. Rip off the bandage; you'll feel better after the sting. <br> <br> The Democrats' headlong drive is leading to bouts of political insanity, such as the aptly named Slaughter rule, which potentially could allow the House of Representatives to "deem" the health bill passed without a final vote. That the Democratic leadership would consider resorting to such a stunt betrays a high degree of contempt for the electorate, whom they presumably think will not remember or care that their representatives would not go on the record on such a major piece of legislation. <br> <br> Disaffected voters, however, will recognize cowardice for what it is. Add to this the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, the backroom dealing, special-interest loopholes and fundamental unsoundness of placing government at the center of the health care system, and November will be a slaughter indeed. <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[Heads Liberals Win, Tails the Nation Loses <br> By David Limbaugh <br> March 12, 2010 <br> <br> The left habitually distorts and exaggerates to demonize and discredit its opponents but squeals like a stuck pig when conservatives use colorful language to call the left out. Unfortunately, some on the right encourage the left's squealing. <br> <br> As for the liberals, it's hard to take them seriously when they register their indignation at, say, Sarah Palin for her "death panels" comment, other conservatives for describing Obama as a socialist or liberals as "liberals," or, most recently, Liz Cheney for calling seven Justice Department appointees the "al-Qaida Seven." <br> <br> Liberals are the ones who knowingly lied in saying that "Bush lied; people died," that supply-side tax cuts are "just for the rich" and that Bush left people on the rooftops in New Orleans after Katrina because they were black. These weren't just harmless rhetorical barbs; they had and continue to have serious, substantively damaging consequences. <br> <br> Nor are the above descriptions by Palin, Cheney and other conservatives a matter of tit for tat or a case of the left's wrong mitigating the right's. The conservatives' statements above are different because they have a strong ring of truth, and they are not just gratuitous; they serve the purpose of calling attention to what is truly going on. <br> <br> I'm not advocating that we be uncivil or mean-spirited, but that we have the guts to tell the truth, using difficult-to-hear language when necessary. I dare say our failure to speak frankly and boldly has a lot to do with the horrible predicament we're in in this country. Speaking a little more truth to political correctness would be helpful. But the left's tactic of whining and crying foul at anything it chooses to be offended by, echoed by genteel enablers on the right, intimidates many from expressing truth for fear of public condemnation. <br> <br> Many believe, after reading versions of Democratic health care plans, that powerful bureaucracies would be created that would have authority over the types of treatment health care providers would give, especially end-of-life decisions. Those bills also would grant wide rule-making authority to those and other bureaucracies, which, if this nation's past and current practice of administrative law is any indication, would be given wide berth and have little accountability to Congress, much less the people. Add to that the mindset of those Obama has surrounded himself with and who have had or will have their fingerprints on the drafting of these health care bills or on the regulations to be promulgated under Obamacare, such as Tom Daschle and Ezekiel Emanuel. They are known for ghoulish advocacy of government-administered rationing of care, especially to the elderly, driven by their creepy values regarding human life. Tell me, then, how it's unfair or inaccurate for Sarah Palin to have called attention to that with "death panels"? <br> <br> The same is true for graphic photos of abortions, decried as grotesque by the left. They're grotesque, all right, because what they depict is abominably grotesque. We have not only the right to force ourselves to face this grim, unconscionable reality by viewing grotesque pictures, if necessary, but also the duty. By shielding ourselves from these pictures showing what actually goes on in abortions, we make it easier on ourselves to do the wrong thing. <br> <br> The upshot is that hard-hitting conservatives are condemned for telling the truth, which serves the best interests of people and the nation, while liberals are given a pass for telling outright lies that damage the national interest. This is a great deal for liberals and a terrible deal for the nation and the people: Heads liberals win (and the nation loses), tails the nation loses. <br> <br> The same holds true for describing Obama as a socialist. What's wrong with telling the truth, especially when candy-coating it enables Obama to operate under the radar? Are those on the right who condemned their fellow conservatives for calling attention to his radicalism early on, when it might have mattered, ever willing to hold themselves accountable for their error? <br> <br> So when Liz Cheney dubs new additions to the Obama-Holder Justice Department the "al-Qaida Seven," I'm just not too exercised. As a lawyer who believes strongly in the adversarial system, I will defend the right of lawyers to represent whomever they want in our system. <br> <br> But this isn't about the right of lawyers to defend unsympathetic clients. It's about placing lawyers in our Justice Department who might well be sympathetic to or soft on the enemy. And that's anything but far-fetched, given what we now know about Obama, his attitude about America's past and its alleged culpability in causing terrorism, the America-hating radicals he has appointed, and Eric Holder himself. Scrutiny is warranted. <br> <br> Kudos to courageous conservatives for calling attention to unpleasant realities. <br> <br> --- <br> <br> David Limbaugh is a writer, author and attorney.

<![CDATA[PETITION to STOP ABORTION-FUNDING IN OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE TAKEOVER. Please select, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition (even if you already signed before), to all 52 "Blue-Dog" House Democrats and all 100 Senators, right away (saving you hours of labor!) We've already sent approximately 570,000 faxes, can you help us reach 600,000? <br> <br> WILL STUPAK BETRAY PRO-LIFERS AT LAST MINUTE? TELL HIM "HOLD FIRM!" <br> <br> Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) this week to negotiate a possible compromise on abortion-funding, and surprisingly expressed optimism that a deal could be reached to pass President Obama's "health" care bill. Stupak's statements appeared to contradict his previous promises, that he and 12 Democrats would vote against the Senate bill, on which Obama demands a March 18 vote. <br> <br> "It would have to be a separate bill, you could sidebar it to the final bill," Stupak told MSNBC. "One bill doesn't pass without the other. They walk down the aisle together." Then Stupak told The National Review, that he will not settle for an agreement to pass the Senate bill now and fix the bill's problems on abortion later: "If they say 'we’ll give you a letter saying we'll take care of this later,' that’s not acceptable because later never comes." <br> <br> But Stupak's surprise meeting with Pelosi confirms the shocking Washington Post report by Marc A. Thiessen entitled "How Pelosi Will Game the Stupak 12," detailing how Pelosi is trying to fool the 12 moderates into passing the current version of the Senate bill with empty promises. "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi must win their votes to pass her bill," Thiessen reports. "The problem for Stupak and his allies is that [Pelosi's] guarantee [to add Stupak's anti-abortion language] is not enough to ensure their position prevails -- because Senate Republicans are gearing up to use something called the 'Byrd rule' to blow up any deal Pelosi cuts to pass health care in the House." So Pelosi cannot keep any promises she makes. <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> The Senate 'Byrd rule' would sink Stupak's compromise, since it empowers any one Senator to voice an objection to any non-fiscal verbiage in a 'Reconciliation' side-by-side bill, such as Stupak's proposed amendment to reduce abortion coverage. If the Senate Chairman recognizes any voice objection, then 60 pro-life Senate votes would be required to reinstate Stupak's language, when only 45 Senators supported similar language last fall. Pro-abortion Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has 55 solid votes to flush any side-bill passed by Stupak and Pelosi, causing the Washington Post to rightly conclude: <br> <br> "The bottom line: Stupak and the blue dog Democrats in the House have no leverage if they go along with Pelosi in a reconciliation strategy. The only way they can ensure that the abortion language and other provisions they oppose are eliminated is to reject reconciliation entirely -- and demand that the House and Senate start over with clean legislation." To this we say, "Amen," but will Stupak cave-in like Sen. Nelson did? Let's encourage the Stupak 12 to "Hold Firm." <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> Meanwhile pro-abortion Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO), the co-chairwoman of the abortion-rights-supporting caucus, predicted the abortion issue won't stop Obamacare. "I don't think Congressman Stupak has the votes to kill healthcare legislation over his language not being in there," DeGette told The Hill newspaper. <br> <br> She believes that even if Stupak's 12 moderates hold firm, the vote count is too close to call, because some of the extreme liberals who voted against Pelosi-care the first time (for lacking a clear 'public option') could switch and vote for the Senate version of Obamacare this time around. If DeGette is right, then conservatives will need more than just 12 of the 37 undecided Democrats to defeat Obamacare now. <br> <br> We're the only ones reporting the names of the 25 undecideds in red below and 12 pro-Stupak swing votes in blue below (37 total undecided Dems and 1 Republican, Cao) who voted WITH STUPAK to reduce abortion funding, but then also voted WITH PELOSI to pass socialism in H.R. 3692. We need just a handful of these 37 to switch votes and stand firm against President Obama and Harry Reid's pro-abortion amendments. If they stand firm against abortion, we can stop the entire socialist "health" bill in its tracks. <br> <br> THESE 37 CONGRESSMEN CAN STOP TAX-FUNDED ABORTIONS <br> <br> Please make time today to call the 37 Congressmen listed below at 202-225-3121 or 202-224-3121 and tell each "you are not pro-life unless you oppose entirely President Obama and Harry Reid's pro-abortion amendments, and we are watching your vote." Or if you don't have time to make 37 calls, you can save time by simply signing our fax-petiton, and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 52 "Blue-Dog" Democrats... <br> <br> WE NEED JUST A HANDFUL OF THESE 37 CONGRESSMEN TO SWITCH. PLEASE CALL ALL 37 TODAY: Baca, Berry, Bishop (GA), Cao, Cardoza, Carney, Cooper, Costa, Costello, Cuellar, Dahlkemper, Davis (IL), Donnelly (IN), Doyle, Driehaus, Ellsworth, Etheridge, Kanjorski, Kaptur, Kildee, Langevin, Lipinski, Lynch, Oberstar, Obey, Ortiz, Perriello, Pomeroy, Rahall, Reyes, Rodriguez, Ryan (OH), Salazar, Snyder, Space, Spratt, Stupak, Wilson (OH) ...Call 202-225-3121 (or 224-3121) asking for each, 37 times, and tell them to vote against Harry Reid's "health" amendment to H.R.3590. <br> <br> Don't have time to make 37 phone calls? Simply SIGN OUR FAX-PETITION and we will fax your petition to all 52 "Blue-Dog" Democrats automatically. We save you time... <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> On Fox News last Thursday, Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) warned the White House that at least 12 of the 37 Democrats (who had previously voted for Pelosi-care) may now switch and vote against the Senate version of Obama-care, because of its massive abortion funding increases. This proves our fax campaign to 37 undecided Democrats is really making a difference, but the vote-count is still too close to call. "My intent is not to hold up this legislation," Stupak said, "My intent is to keep current law. Eight different pieces of legislation currently say no public funding for abortion. That's all we’re saying...There's a principle and a belief that the American people agree with which says no public funding for abortion, and that's a principle and a belief I'll continue to fight for...In my eyes [President Obama] has to be a little more flexible, especially on this issue of no public funding for abortion." Stupak demands President Obama be flexible, but does anyone really believe Obama is "flexible" enough to reverse his recent demands for increased abortion funding? <br> <br> On CBS News, Stupak reminded the White House of President Obama's broken promise. "I heard the President say, when he addressed the nation on September 9th, there would be no federal dollars for abortion. We're going to [require him to] honor that pledge. And as long as he has no federal dollars for abortion, we're in pretty good shape." But since the Senate version of the bill massively funds abortion, Stupak and a dozen friends may vote against it. Yet how will the other 25 undecideds, and all 52 Blue-Dog Democrats vote? If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) can bribe or twist enough arms, we could still lose. <br> <br> Stupak and babies need help to defeat Obamacare. Our petitions are changing history... <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> Pelosi said last Tuesday that the abortion dispute in the "health" care bill cannot be resolved in the companion bill Democrats plan to use to settle the main differences between the House and Senate. In other words, she now admits her plan to ram the massive Harry Reid Senate amended version of H.R. 3590 (which already passed with 60 votes) through the House without any changes, then use "reconciliation" only in a later companion bill to amend minor budgetary items, leaving the vast Senate abortion funding untouched. Bypassing efforts by Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) with her arm-twisting of moderate Democrats, Pelosi will first try to pass Reid's plan as-is, and only then try reconciliation for minor amendments to everything except its massive abortion funding. <br> <br> House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) rebuked President Obama over abortion at the "health" care summit last Thursday, saying "for 30 years we've had a law that says there will be no taxpayer funding of abortion. This bill, that we have before us, for the first time in 30 years allows for the taxpayer funding of abortions." Obama's new version 2.0 actually increases abortion funding above and beyond the massive increase already in Harry Reid's Senate version of the bill. Boehner also issued a written request to include Stupak in the discussions, but Obama refused to include Stupak, or even speak to him since September, as punishment for how Stupak led a House amendment last fall that would have significantly reduced Obama's abortion funding. Obama bristled that he and Boehner/Stupak "profoundly disagree" about whether tax-dollars should fund child-killing. <br> <br> Now Obama thinks even more abortion funds are needed. The National Right To Life Committee revealed Obama's hidden "reconciliation" abortion fund-increase in their analysis of the new White House proposal, which will become Pelosi's companion bill: "None of President Obama's proposed changes diminish any of the sweeping pro-abortion problems in the Senate bill. And he actually proposes to increase the funds that would be available to directly subsidize abortion procedures [with $11 Billion for Community Health Centers like Planned Parenthood] and to subsidize private health insurance that covers abortion (through the premium- subsidy tax credits program)." <br> <br> Boehner, NRLC, and babies need help. Our petitions are changing history... <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council also condemned Obama's new plan: "It also calls for $11 billion for community health centers with no restrictions on funding abortions, [can you say Planned Parenthood?] mandates so-called 'preventative' services for women including abortion, reauthorizes the Indian Health Act without abortion funding restrictions, and creates a national plan run by the Office of Personnel Management to contract with plans that include abortion." <br> <br> But the good news was confirmed by Newsweek.com's analysis (repeating what I've been saying for three months), that a handful of the 37 moderate House Democrats led by Stupak can stop the entire Obamacare bill, because it funds massive increases abortion with our tax-dollars. "What matters now is how large that 'unclear number of Democrats' is, how many representatives will oppose the Democrat's compromise bill because of softer abortion language," said Newsweek.com. "If we're talking Stupak and one or two other members of Congress, then the Democrats are probably safe. But if the ranks of Stupak-followers reach into low double digits, Pelosi may have a serious threat on her hands. When we know more of the numbers, we'll better understand whether they will pose a threat to health-care reform moving forward." <br> <br> While Newsweek didn't know the head-count, we do. And YOU can influence them. <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) told the New York Times that he and 12 unnamed "blue-dog" Democrats will try to sink the entire bill, unless their partially pro-life demands are met. But we know their names, and we're not yet satisfied of their commitment to follow Stupak. We've identified 37 supposedly moderate democrats and 1 Republican who pretends he's a Democrat (names above) who voted WITH STUPAK to reduce abortion funding, but then also voted WITH PELOSI to pass socialism in H.R. 3692. We need just a handful of these 37 to switch votes and stand firm against President Obama and Harry Reid's pro-abortion amendments. If they stand firm against abortion, we can stop the entire socialist "health" bill in its tracks. <br> <br> Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser told LifeNews.com the health care summit is a great time for Obama to retreat on his demand to fund abortions: "So in this new conciliatory mode, if he ignores the 80-percent consensus opposing abortion coverage in healthcare, the most intractable and divisive issue thus far, he reveals what many have suspected from the beginning - that abortion ideology is more precious to this president than his top domestic priority." So let's help de-fund child killing, right now... <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> Despite Scott Brown's (R-MA) victory as Senator-elect from Massachusetts, leading Democrats were quick to dismiss the voice of the people and promised to push ahead by funding abortion with our tax dollars. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), who forced her pro-abortion funding scheme with Senator Ben-Nelson (D-NE) into H.R. 3590, defended her own victory over pro-life advocates, stating "it's only an ‘accounting procedure' that will do nothing to restrict [abortion] coverage." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi likewise thumbed her nose at the voters' strong anti-Obamacare rebuke in Massachusetts. "Let's remove all doubt," Pelosi told reporters in San Francisco the week of Brown's election. "We will have health care – one way or another. Certainly the dynamic would change depending on what happen[ed] in Massachusetts, just the question about how we would proceed," Pelosi added. "But it doesn't mean we won't have a health care bill." Make no mistake, pro-abortion forces still control Congress, the Senate, and the White House, and vow to aggressively ram their "tax-and-kill" agenda against the voters will. <br> <br> Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) caved in to pressure from the White House, and broke his pledge to "draw a line in the sand" against abortion funding, by instead reaching a compromise with pro-abortion Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to fund some elective abortions with our tax-dollars. According to the Washington Post, Nelson bargained for extra Medicaid money for Nebraskans, and an accounting-scheme that citizens choosing the abortion option in their subsidized "health" care plans must write separate checks for abortion co-pays. Senator Boxer admits not getting the total abortion funding she wanted, but Boxer claimed victory over the more conservative Stupak-Pitts version of the house bill that would prohibit tax-funding for all abortions except life of the mother, or familial or forced impregnation. <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Congressman Bart Stupak issued the following statement about the Nelson-Boxer compromise: "While I appreciate the efforts of all the parties involved, especially Senator Ben Nelson, the Senate abortion language is not acceptable. A review of the Senate language indicates a dramatic shift in federal policy that would allow the federal government to subsidize insurance policies with abortion coverage. Further, the segregation of funds to pay for abortion is another departure from current policy prohibiting federal subsidy of abortion coverage." Stupak is now asking for help to lobby his fellow Blue-Dog Democrats in the House to stop the bill entirely. <br> <br> <br> <br> Please call both your Senators and your Congressman today at 202-224-3121 today and tell them "You are not pro-life unless you filibuster abortion, and oppose and filibuster the entire Obama-Reid plan to kill children with our tax-dollars. Abortion isn't health care." <br> <br> <br> <br> Then please join our fax-campaign, and we will fax your petition to all 100 Senators and all 52 "Blue-Dog" Democrats...WE ONLY NEED A HANDFUL OF THE 52 BLUE-DOGS TO STAND THEIR GROUND, AND WE CAN STOP THE ENTIRE BILL! <br> <br> <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> <br> <br> Last year the full Senate voted down 54-45 on Senator Nelson (D-NE) and Hatch (R-UT)'s proposed "long-shot" amendment to prohibit most abortion funding in the Harry Reid "Obamacare" Health Care Bill, but it required 60 votes to overcome Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)'s filibuster. Boxer refused, and bullied Sen. Nelson into a compromise that was not close to the Stupak language adopted by the House of Representatives on November 7 by a vote of 240 to 194. Although I do not personally endorse the Stupak legislation because it still funds child-killing in the rare cases of familial or forced impregnation, the Nelson-Boxer compromise is far worse, and would fund elective abortions by gutting the Hyde Amendment which has barred federal funding for abortion in Medicaid and all other federally funded health-care programs since 1977. Yet aggressive pro-abortion Democrats remain eager to kill even the old Hyde Amendment, which no longer fully applies to the proposed "Obamacare" plan offered by Harry Reid. WE HAVE A PLAN.... <br> <br> <br> <br> We have a very short time to act, but either way, we have a back-up strategy that can kill the entire socialist health care bill. ALL WE NEED ARE A HANDFUL OF "BLUE-DOG" DEMOCRATS TO STAND THEIR GROUND. So please join our fax campaign to all 100 Senators and all 52 "Blue-Dog" House Democrats, to completely remove abortion funding from the "health" care bill, or vote it down entirely to defeat. WE STILL HAVE A REALISTIC CHANCE OF VICTORY. <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> Over 50 young people prayed with me in Washington DC during our all-night "27 hours of Prayer" vigil on the West Lawn of the Capitol Sunday night, with national pro-life leaders like Pat Mahoney and Chris Slattery, and we prayed specifically that abortion funding would be struck from the President's health care bill. <br> <br> Time Magazine confirmed: "Under the [Senate] plan, like the House plan, certain individuals would get government subsidies to help buy private insurance in a publicly-established exchanges. There would be a guaranteed choice in each health insurance exchange between at least one plan that does not offer abortion services beyond life [of the mother, or familial or forced impregnation], and at least one plan that does, allowing consumers to choose their preference." Senator Nelson's compromise did not significantly change this. <br> <br> In other words, if you couldn't afford an abortion yesterday, it will be free tomorrow, so long as you simply choose the right plan and $12 co-pay, tax-payers will fund your abortion, even elective abortions of convenience, above and beyond the also-funded cases of familial or forced impregnation. Ironically President Obama will sign a bill that fulfills Margaret Sanger's racist vision to exterminate poor children, many of whom will be African-American, through abortion. <br> <br> By creating an "accounting scheme" child-killing providers must pretend "to segregate funds internally, so that only private dues, and not federal subsidies, pay for actual abortion services," but they are not required to increase the co-pay, so the abortion is essentially free to the young woman who receives federal dollars to electively kill her child, or costs the same as any other doctor's office visit. <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) issued an apology after his outburst, "you lie," toward President Obama during his health care speech to Congress on Wednesday. "I let my emotions get the best of me," Wilson said in a statement. "I extend sincere apologies to the president." We commend Wilson for his quick humility. But questions remain: <br> <br> Did Obama tell lies during the speech? Was Wilson right after all? And why doesn't Obama apologize just as quickly for calling conservatives liars? In their fact-checking, the press confirmed FIVE WHOPPERS told by the President himself: <br> <br> OBAMA LIE #1: "No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions." <br> <br> THE TRUTH: Obama's plan mirrors Harry Reid's amendment to HR 3590 which has a Section that reads: "Abortions for Which Public Funding Is Allowed. -- The services described in this subparagraph are abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is permitted." The Washington Times reported: "You can't get more explicit than that." And FactCheck.org exposed Obama's lie too: "Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans." So President Obama lied, plain and simple. <br> <br> OBAMA LIE #2: "I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future. Period." <br> <br> THE TRUTH: The Democrat controlled Congressional Budget Office said Obamacare would add $220 billion to the deficit over 10 years, but will not succeed at shrinking the overall costs of our nation's health care. Republicans claim it's more like $600 billion increased deficit spending. (Confirmed by Associated Press, 9 Sep 09.) Either way, Obama lied. <br> <br> OBAMA LIE #3: "Don't pay attention to those scary stories about how your benefits will be cut...That will never happen on my watch. I will protect Medicare." <br> <br> THE TRUTH: The Washington Post reports Obama proposes "to squeeze more than $500 billion out of the growth of Medicare over the next decade....[which has] fueled fears that his effort to expand coverage to millions of younger, uninsured Americans will damage elder care. As a result, barely one-third of seniors support a health-care overhaul, several polls found." (Washington Post, 9 Aug 09) Even the Post admits, Obama lied. <br> <br> SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, AND WE WILL FAX ALL 37 UNDECIDED DEMS, ALL 52 "BLUE-DOG" HOUSE DEMOCRATS, AND ALL 100 SENATORS, TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ABORTION FUNDING FROM THE HEALTH CARE BILL <br> <br> OBAMA LIE #4: "If you lose your job or change your job, you will be able to get coverage." <br> <br> THE TRUTH: Whether working or not, rich or poor, you will be ordered to get mandatory government-run health-care coverage, or pay a fine a $3800 fine per family, under the new Senate plan being railroaded through the finance committee by Max Baucus (D-MT). (New York Times, 9 Sep 09). Obama pretends you're "able" to get coverage, when he knows it's mandatory (with a big tax increase or "fine" penalty). Obama lied. But the biggest of all... <br> <br> OBAMA LIE #5: "The claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple." [Note that Obama accused us of lying, first.] <br> <br> THE TRUTH: Money incentives for "end of life" counseling in Pelosi's HR 3962 included pressuring counseling to the elderly, giving doctors a monetary incentive to persuade you to sign a "do not resuscitate" (DNR) order to pull the plug on Grandma, just like the Obama administration already pressures all Veterans to sign them.

And under the British NHS government-run health plan, "Patients with terminal illnesses are being made to die prematurely under an NHS scheme to help end their lives, leading doctors have warned." (The Daily Telegraph, 2 Sep 09). Dr. Ewing Cook just admitted intentionally killing patients who signed DNR authorizations during Hurricane Katrina. "I gave her medicine so I could get rid of her faster...there's no question I hastened her demise." Bottom line: Grandma, don't sign Obama's DNR order, even if your doctor gets a bonus check from the President for talking you into that. <br> <br> Obama lied at least five times during his speech.

<![CDATA["The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" <br> The following is a letter to the Editor which appeared in the Cape May County (NJ) Herald Feb. 17. It is reprinted here with the permission of its author, Cathy Driscoll of Villas, NJ. To The Editor: “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world” wrote William Ross Wallace back in 1865. When committed, loving parents rock the cradle, freedom flourishes. When the state is allowed to rock that cradle, evil follows. Tyrants need thugs and wimps. This “ideal” population is produced by controlling the rearing of children. George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” illustrates the brutal way the sheep dog is robbed of her puppies. Once confiscated, the puppies become trained bullies and useful enforcers. Hitler saw children as “clean slates” on which barbarism could be written, but only if they are removed from the influences of their parents. Kitty Werthmann, a living witness to life under the Nazi boot, describes how pre-Hitler Austria abounded with compassionate and respectful youth. Post Hitler brought hideous changes. Public school teachers encouraged the children to disregard their parents' “fuddy-duddy” ways. Mandatory Youth Day was designated on Sundays at the time of Catholic Mass. Parents who took their children to church instead of youth day faced capital punishment. By firmly holding the children in their hands, Nazis successfully paved the road to the Holocaust. What has happened here in the last several decades? Parents are afraid to discipline their children in public. Records are withheld from parents because of “privacy rights.” My husband was at the doctor recently and he was not allowed to be in the examination room with our own child without a doctor or nurse present. We were at a swim meet back in November and parents were actually barred from going to the changing rooms with their own children. My husband and I questioned those in charge of the meet on this policy. These officials reasoned that children needed to learn to be on their own. These adults took it upon themselves to disregard the authority of the parents. Step by step our government has morphed from respecting parents’ rights to dismantling them. Do you want this to continue turning from a snowball into an avalanche? Let’s say that you think that you won’t be affected by this trend; you don’t plan to ever have children or you have raised your children and are done with this job. First of all, are you so bereft of compassion that you can stand by and allow your fellow citizens to face the forced loss of their children? Secondly, if society is full of parentless thugs, who do we think will come to our rescue when we are old and helpless? The Parental Rights Amendment, if ratified, will seal protections for parents. It states the following: Section 1: The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right. Section 2: Neither the United States nor any state shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served. Section 3: No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.

<![CDATA[Worse for Dems come Nov.: passing health care or not? <br> <br> FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty: <br> <br> The Democrats could face "unmitigated disaster" in the mid-term elections... if they continue to ignore the public's opposition to health care reform. <br> <br> <br> This dire warning comes by way of pollsters who worked for the last two Democratic presidents. <br> <br> Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen write in the Washington Post that the Democrats' "blind persistence in the face of reality threatens to turn this political march of folly into an electoral rout in November." They suggest that if health care reform passes - the Democrats' losses in the midterms will be even worse. <br> <br> They say the political reality is that the battle for public opinion has been lost. Polls show a solid majority of Americans oppose the health care reform plan... even though most people believe that reform is needed and they support certain parts of the bill. <br> <br> Caddell and Schoen write that President Obama and the Democratic party are deceiving themselves into believing that this reform is what the public wants. <br> <br> They also point to polls that show the country is moving away from big government... saying the debate over health care has now become less about the issue itself... and more about the politics surrounding it. The American people see a government that "will neither hear nor heed the will of the people." <br> <br> They suggest the only way for the Democrats to change course is to acknowledge that health care reform is a failure - whether or not it passes. <br> <br> Here’s my question to you: Which will be worse for the Democrats in November: passing the health care bill or not passing it? <br> <br> Tune in to the Situation Room at 6pm to see if Jack reads your answer on air. <br> <br> And, we love to know where you’re writing from, so please include your city and state with your comment.FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty: <br> ]]>
<![CDATA[Your decision this week: will America still be America? <br> <br> Socialized medicine--Part 11 <br> <br> By Wes Vernon <br> <br> This may be the "make or break" week for America's survival as the free society that we cherish and consider our birthright. Whether the United States of America survives as the greatest nation on the face of the earth is in our hands — yours and mine. <br> <br> There are forces at work in Washington determined to herd us like sheep toward tyranny through a 2700-page health "care" bill that proposes nothing short of a takeover of one-sixth of the U.S. economy, including severe constraints on our freedom. Only a massive push-back of freedom-loving citizens can do anything about it. They need to be heard, because some involved in this scheme mean well and don't know what they're doing; then again, others know exactly what they're doing. <br> <br> Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told local officials visiting their nation's capitol that "we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it." That makes the job of a script-writer for Saturday Night Live easier, but what is not funny is what it says about the arrogance of Capitol Hill's backroom deals to stab us in the back. <br> <br> There are those whose reading of history tells them that truly limited governments imposing few constraints on the liberty of its citizens are likely to last no longer than about 200 years. If that is the case, our founding fathers' brilliant 234-year old "experiment" in maximum individual freedom would be due to expire. <br> <br> What is at stake <br> <br> This moment is indeed historical in that our elected leaders in this town are working feverishly to push through a measure whose effects on your freedom are probably unconstitutional. And they are not only ignoring popular will, they are saying out loud that they don't care what you think. Their cover story comes down to the equivalent of — <br> <br> "Don't you worry. We know what's best for you. Just wait; you'll like it once we make it mandatory for you to put your faith in our ultimate wisdom and our right to shove this down your throats. Go ahead; throw us out of office in 2010 and maybe down the road in 2012. We and our fellow oppressives who follow us will ultimately reap the benefits of our power grab. In the end, there will be one-party rule. Once the takeover is complete and the population is dependent on what we have embedded in your every-day life, then we rule forever. Every election, we will pounce on any opponent who dares to hint at the slightest inclination to rein in our power, we'll accuse him or her of trying to toss you out into the gutter. We've used these scare tactics on other entitlements, and it works every time. Remember when George W. Bush tried to head off the bankruptcy of Social Security? Out of our way, or you're next." <br> <br> Here comes the steamroller <br> <br> They don't come out and use that precise language, of course, but if you follow their own rhetoric to its logical conclusion, that is their intent. If that is not what you want to see happen, you must weigh in — you and millions of others. If enough pressure is brought to bear, those lawmakers who are on the fence or even inclined to vote for that 2700-page monstrosity hopefully will come to their senses, and repel the effort to make us another socialist state on the order of what prevails in much of Europe (or ultimately worse: a pale carbon copy of outright dictatorships that have come to power and thrived on the propaganda that they're doing this for "your own good" because "we all benefit"). <br> <br> The reasons <br> <br> First and foremost, constitutional scholars say any government order that you must purchase health care insurance is violating your freedoms. If such a mandate is passed, it will most certainly face a court challenge. It is uncertain — given that the oppressives have it in their power to put their own on the bench — that the challenge will win. Even if it finally does, the court fight will have dragged on for many years while the coercive system becomes more embedded in our society, and resourceful liberal lawmakers will find an end-run around any adverse court decree — in which case, another court challenge will follow and likely meet the same fate. <br> <br> You saw how President Obama whipped his fellow oppressives into a wild frenzy when he berated the justices (sitting right in front of him at the State of the Union address) for their decision upholding freedom of speech — an idea whose tenets are understandably offensive to one raised in a Marxist culture. What's next? Public hangings? <br> <br> Secondly, surveys show that the American people don't want this imposition on their freedom. A huge majority of Americans are satisfied with their current health insurance. <br> <br> Doctors don't want the bill. Many of them would leave the profession if it passes. Investors Business Daily reports that 26% of doctors responding to a survey said they either had closed their solo practice or were considering doing just that. Just what we need. There already are not enough doctors. Many of them have had to hire people on their payrolls who do nothing but shuffle government-mandated papers. The doctor-patient relationship would be shredded if this impersonal imposition on medicine is allowed to become the law of the land and put federal bureaucrats between you and your doctor. <br> <br> Worst of both worlds <br> <br> There are no real cost-controls in the bill, even though the measure would lead to government rationing of health care. Thus we would get the worst of both worlds: scarcity and costs out of sight. <br> <br> Rationing of health care, especially late in life, can be another way of saying "We can't afford to cure you. Die old man," or "You're stuck with the pain, old woman." They can scream all they want to about Sarah Palin's use of the term "death panels." OK, let's find a polite way of saying it and that will make the problem disappear, right? The politically-correct speech police have all but banned other words in the English language, so why should this be any different? Does anyone with an IQ above 10 really think that if death panels were created, they would hang out a shingle on their doors saying "Death Panel — Welcome"? <br> <br> Private insurers would disappear, and scientific progress in medicine will come to a standstill. Virtually all medical innovation originates in the U.S. That is no coincidence. Our pharmaceutical firms have not been discouraged from creating life-saving medicines or devices. Rationing would change all that. <br> <br> The "how" is as outrageous as the content <br> <br> Now we come to the issue of process. As Senator Scott Brown — the new Republican senator from Massachusetts — elected largely on his promise to vote against this bill — said in his Saturday radio address: "Somehow, the greater the opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they [Obama-Pelosi-Reid] seem to force it on us anyway," notwithstanding that it raises taxes by a half trillion dollars and costs a trillion dollars more to implement? In addition, Senator Brown warns, "It takes another half trillion dollars away from seniors on Medicare." <br> <br> Small wonder the Democrats are poised — as of this writing — to use a series of procedural stunts to get the measure through. Here's the plan (as passed on to us by Capitol Hill staffers close to the action): <br> <br> 1 — First, the House will pass the Senate's health care overhaul without changing one single word — with all its "back-room" deal baggage intact. <br> <br> 2 — House Democrats hope to "fix" at least some — but likely not all — of the problems in a fast track "reconciliation" bill. <br> <br> 3 — The Senate would take up the House-passed reconciliation bill, vote it through, and send it on to the president for his signature. <br> <br> 4 — Then the "lick and a promise" is that there will be a series of fixes outside of reconciliation that might move through both the House and the Senate later. <br> <br> 5 — Lest there be any misunderstanding: House Democrats must pass the Senate Christmas-morning health care overhaul before the Senate will even consider "fixing" it. House and Senate Dems don't trust each other. Both are justified in their skepticism. After the House votes to OK the original Senate bill, Pelosi supposedly won't send it to the president until reconciliation is passed with its "fixes." <br> <br> Basically there are two reasons for this convoluted kabuki dance: <br> <br> One of them is that the reconciliation ploy is seen as a means of getting around the 60 vote anti-filibuster requirement. Scott Brown's election deprived the Dems of their Senate super-majority. <br> <br> Even Senate Democrat Whip Dick Durbin (Illinois) concedes that "we will be testing some reconciliation [Senate] rules that have never been tested before." There will come a ruling by the Senate Parliamentarian as to whether this evasion is compatible with the Senate rules. His ruling may not come until the moment the Senate is on the verge of making the move. It has been reported that if he rules that the ploy is not acceptable, there is one person who can overrule the parliamentarian: Vice President Joe Biden — in his role as President of the Senate. If that happens, then the lid is off. There are no rules. <br> <br> The second reason for this back-alley parliamentary blackjack maneuver is that the House bill contains provisions forbidding the use of federal funding for abortion. The Senate bill does not. Thus a dozen anti-abortion Democrats let by Rep. Bart Stupak (Michigan) have vowed not to vote for the Senate version. Pelosi is trying to pick them off one by one. Leaked info on those meetings is not encouraging. <br> <br> One of the multiple backroom negotiations came to light in a recent Washington Post column by Marc Thiessen, who reports Stupak has met with Speaker Pelosi supposedly to work out a compromise on abortion. Surprisingly, the Michigan lawmaker appeared optimistic that he could reach a deal with the speaker. He told left-wing MSNBC, "It would have to be a separate bill; you could sidebar it to the final bill.... One bill doesn't go down the aisle without the other." <br> <br> "The problem for Stupak and his allies," Thiessen writes, "is that such a guarantee is not enough to ensure their position prevails — because Senate Republicans [in an effort to kill the whole bill outright] are gearing up to use something called 'the Byrd rule' to slow up any deal Pelosi cuts to pass health care in the House." <br> <br> In order to get the reconciliation bill with "fixes" Stupak and Co. demand, they must first vote to pass the Christmas-morning Senate bill, which allows federal funding for abortions. The parliamentarian may determine the "Byrd Rule" disallows the reconciliation bill on the grounds that reconciliation can be used only if the issue at hand is "budgetary" (which the abortion deal is not). In that event, then the measure goes to the House minus the anti-abortion "fix." Stupak and his cohorts would vote it down. <br> <br> Buuuuut — they will already have voted the original Senate bill through the House on the promise their anti-abortion language would carry the day on reconciliation. Ah, but Pelosi is then able to send the House-passed Senate bill on to the white House for the president's signature. She's in a position to tell Stupak, "Hey, don't blame me. Blame the Senate Republicans." Stupak is a former highway patrolman, a calling that trains one to know a tall story when he hears one. Does anyone think this ex-cop is about to be "snookered"? <br> <br> Mr. Stupak later told National Review he won't settle for an agreement to pass the Senate bill and fix the abortion problems later. The problem with that is "later never comes," he said. <br> <br> And just to complicate things a little more: At the end of last week, we learned from several sources that the parliamentarian has stipulated that in order even to consider a reconciliation "fix," the president would first have to sign the original Senate bill into law. So that could further alienate Mr. Stupak's group — in that the pro-abortion version of the bill would be on the books as law before any "fix" could be aced upon. It would appear this has considerable potential as a monkey wrench. Stay tuned. <br> <br> What must be done <br> <br> Americans who want to let America be American — rather than to ape the kind of tyranny our forefathers came here to avoid — can stop Congress and the president from turning this proposed nightmare into permanent reality. <br> <br> Pelosi and Co. claim they have or soon will have the votes to pass this bill. That could happen. That's how close it is. But for them to exude an "in the bag" confidence is a head-fake meant to discourage us from actively bringing pressure to bear. We need not succumb to that psychological warfare. We can still derail this beyond-horrible bill. <br> <br> You can reach your congressman and senators by calling 202-224-3121 — the main switchboard. If the switchboard is jammed, you can call his/her district office and request — politely but firmly — that you be given the direct office number in Washington. If you go to your lawmaker's website, you will likely find directions as to how you can contact the D.C. office by e-mail. That is helpful, but direct phone calls — using numbers also available at the website — are often given more weight. Using both avenues of communication won't hurt. Snail-mail is most effective of all, but the essence of time may short-circuit that option. You can also get your lawmaker's fax number and go that route. But the phone contains a sense of urgency. Again — it doesn't hurt to use more than one communication channel. <br> <br> Next week at this time, we may know whether this nation's unique freedoms survive into the future. Our Constitution for years has been hanging by a thread as it is. You have it in your hands to prevent a giant step toward its ultimate demise. Good luck — to all of us. <br> <br> © Wes Vernon <br> <br> <br> ]]>
<![CDATA[KUHNER: A gangster regime <br> <br> <br> By Jeffrey T. Kuhner <br> <br> President Obama is presiding over one of the most corrupt administrations in American history. <br> <br> Mr. Obama continues to try to pass government-run health care against increasing resistance in Congress and in opposition to the wishes of the overwhelming majority of Americans. Many Democrats, especially the more fiscally conservative Blue Dogs, are revolting against Obamacare. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, lacks the votes - so far - to ram the bill through Congress. <br> <br> The White House has told Democrats it will do anything to pass the legislation - mostly because this would be a boon to Mr. Obama's legacy. No other progressive president - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton - was able to achieve the seminal goal of liberal governance: nationalized health care. <br> <br> Yet Mr. Obama's overweening ambition is driving his administration toward rampant corruption, criminality and abuse of power. The accusations by former Rep. Eric Massa, New York Democrat, provide a window into the thuggish atmosphere pervading the administration. <br> <br> Mr. Massa is an unscrupulous politician and a pervert. What else can one say about a man who admits to sexually propositioning a male staffer at a wedding party after his wife leaves, sick with the flu? He has admitted to "tickling" other male staff members. Press reports state that Mr. Massa's aides have complained about being groped by the former congressman. The House Ethics Committee is investigating the scandal. Mr. Massa has resigned his seat. <br> <br> The issue, however, is not Mr. Massa's conduct - deplorable and bizarre as it was. He is gone, and his 15 minutes of fame are over. But the Chicago political machine remains. Mr. Massa's charges against White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel threaten the very basis of Mr. Obama's regime. This is why the liberal media are determined to destroy the former congressman's credibility. They are hoping enough leaks about sexual harassment and homosexual conduct will divert public attention away from Mr. Emanuel's conduct. <br> <br> Mr. Massa has accused Mr. Emanuel of confronting him naked in the House gym showers, berating the then-congressman for voting against Mr. Obama's budget. Mr. Massa also claims that union leaders - backed by the White House - approached him and threatened to deny him campaign funding if he opposed Obamacare. If true, that is bribery and intimidation - and also extremely vulgar. Mr. Emanuel is at the heart of a cynical White House effort to buy votes and institutionalize bribery in order to ram through a deeply unpopular bill. <br> <br> The entire health care "reform" process has been marked by scandal and massive corruption - the "Louisiana Purchase," the $300 million in extra Medicaid funds to acquire the vote of Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, Louisiana Democrat; the "Cornhusker Kickback," the $100 million offered to pick up the costs of Medicaid expansion for Nebraska to get Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson's support; the $5 billion set-aside to pay for Florida's Medicare exemption to win over Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson; and the special deals given to influential labor unions on high-cost, so-called "Cadillac" insurance plans. <br> <br> The administration is now targeting key House Democrats. It is practicing the "Chicago way": First use bribery, and if that fails, then try bullying. <br> <br> Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah, who previously voted against the health care bill, was made an offer he couldn't refuse: His brother Scott has been nominated to a federal judgeship. This is a blatant quid pro quo. <br> <br> Rep. Alan B. Mollohan of West Virginia, a fence-sitter who is not sure how he will vote, has been given a real incentive to support Obamacare. The Justice Department has just announced it has called off its ethics investigation of the troubled congressman - a remarkable coincidence. <br> <br> Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, a pro-life Democrat who opposes the bill's federal funding of abortion, is suddenly facing a possible ethics investigation over the use of a low-rent apartment in the District supplied by a Christian group. Democratic congressional leaders were aware of Mr. Stupak's living arrangements before; it has only now become an issue of concern. It is the proverbial gun to the head. <br> <br> Mr. Obama's abuse of power goes beyond health care reform. Rep. Joe Sestak, Pennsylvania Democrat, has accused the administration of offering him a high-ranking government job in exchange for not running against Sen. Arlen Specter in the Democratic primary. If that is true, the White House committed a serious crime. It is illegal to use the power of the federal government to directly interfere with or determine the outcome of an election. <br> <br> This is why Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican and ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is calling for an official investigation into the matter. <br> <br> "While the White House may think this is politics as usual, what is spectacularly unusual is when a candidate - a U.S. congressman, no less - freely acknowledges such a proposal," Mr. Issa said. "Almost always, candidates keep quiet about such deals, and for good reason - they are against the law." <br> <br> Every successful socialist revolutionary has had a right-hand man to do his dirty work, someone not afraid to crack heads and get into the gutter, while the leader - supposedly standing above the fray - articulates a vision of economic justice and social harmony. Vladimir Lenin had Josef Stalin. Fidel Castro had his brother, Raul. Mr. Obama has Mr. Emanuel. <br> <br> The central lesson of the 20th century is that utopianism leads to gangsterism. Mr. Obama is trying desperately to impose his progressive- socialist revolution. The more resistance he meets, the more determined he becomes - and the more he needs to rely on political thugs such as Mr. Emanuel. Mr. Obama, who promisedto reform Washington, is instead leading more like a gangster than a statesman. <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[This is a "Free Country"???????????? <br> <br> <br> I get fined and/or go to jail if I don't sign on to the Massachusetts Health Control Plan <br> <br> I get fined and/or go to jail (for not paying fine), all for not buying into Obama's Government Health Control Plan <br> <br> Government mandates Disposable Dads to pay the EX-wife for "Child support" (spousal vacation, and new car support), or go to jail and lose their drivers license. Even when no jobs are available and not enough Unemployment Benefits. <br> <br> Government tells Disposable Dads, that they cannot visit their children, except when Government says they can???? <br> <br> This is NOT a "Free Country". It is a nation run by Tyrants in Black Robes, and assorted Elitists in Government. <br> <br> I detest Liberals, but I also detest Bushwhackers who say this is a "free country". <br> <br> <br> - KaptainAmericana <br> <br> <br> ... <br> <br> ]]>
<![CDATA[&gt; Who the fuck do you think you are .If people want to post in all CAPS .WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT ASS HOLE. <br> <br> Who the fuck do you think you are. If people make fun of others on this here "insult forum", who gives a fuck what anyone thinks of it. <br> <br> If people want to post stupid pictures to ridicule Obama or Sarah Palin, I might ridicule that person. <br> If people want to post stupid pictures and ridicule "Kaptain" or "Somerville Lesbian", I might post something to ridicule that person. <br> If someone posts in capital letters, and somebody else ridicules him, I might laugh at the All Caps Guy, too. <br> <br> Bully for you for defending All Caps Guy. <br> <br> Grow some thick skin if you wanna play in Craigsland. It's a special place where people get off insulting each other. If it hurts your feelings that someone is picking on All Caps Guy, go find another sandbox to play in. Or, start a campaign for politically-correct speech on CL. Please. I'd like to see that. <br> ]]>
<![CDATA[Let's please stop calling it the "American" Army <br> <br> Let's please stop calling it the "Afghan War".........It's not a "war". Do you remember WWI, or WWII?.........No, you don't. But, WWI, II were "wars". <br> <br> Afghanistan operation is a police action by the NOW Police Force (aka US Military). <br> <br> They should have destroyed the "terrorists" a long time ago, if that was the "mission". <br> <br> Bin Laden hasn't been killed, becuase the NWO Police Action, and nation building would have to cease. <br> <br> <br> - KaptainAmericana <br> <br> .]]>
