Deep Thoughts:

God’s Note To Those Who Will Abandon Israel In Her Time of Need "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4:14

We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our won Country's Honor, all call upon us for vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions." --George Washington, General Orders, 1776 Hat Tip Mary

Historic! 1,000,000 'pink slips' to Congress – in less than 4 days! We’ve posted about this grassroots initiative the past couple days. We think it’s a great way to get the message out there. My entire family has signed up to do this. That means over 3,000 pink slips are on their way from South Florida! Of course, you will still need to make calls and send emails and faxes. But what is at stake is well worth $29.95. You also need to immediately contact Sen. Olympia Snowe R-ME. She is the most powerful Senator in Congress right now. Here’s a link. I think a more appropriate animal on her banner would be a RINO. Hat Tip Kathy

Please Help Now! Call Sen. Cornyn's office and tell him NO on Public Option! Moveon.org has an all out push to make calls today to Sen. Cornyn's office to ask that he support a Public Option to the Healthcare bill being debated in the Senate Finance Committee. I called his office and the staff said they are getting far more calls for Public Option than against it.

Audacity

Terre Haute – Woman Arrested for Buying Too Much Cold Prep (2 purchases of one box in a week) Wow. Had a hard time with this one’s placement, Audacity or Socialism in America for categorizing, but audacious won out. Um…Earth to Terre Haute? hello? It’s flu season! This poor elderly woman. Guess now we know what government being “too up in our business” really means.

Crap and TAX

Kerry and Boxer Set To Introduce Climate Bill Hang on to your hat!

A Pile of Crap By Any Other Name… John Kerry was FOR Cap and Trade before he was against it. There’s nothing different here. Democrats are just calling it something different. Hat Tip Kathy


Economy and Finance

Here It Comes – The Dollar’s Death The president of the World Bank said on Monday that America’s days as an unchallenged economic superpower might be numbered and that the dollar was likely to lose its favored position as the euro and the Chinese renminbi assume bigger roles.

The Loss of Three Great Economic and Policy Thinkers of Our Time Sadly we bid them farewell and we wonder who will fill the void that they made, especially Milton Freidman, especially him.

Hitting the Ceiling. The Limits of Taxing the Top 3% Rush had a good segment on yesterday’s show about the stupid Dem tax logic on New York Taxation Policies such as these and more recently these rather than the common sense advice the NY Business Council recommended. He addressed how many large Corporations and individuals like Golisano who is Founder of Paychex or Nancy Bell of Science First are leaving New York (many to Florida I might add) as a consequence of their raising taxes. One of whom spent $13,000 in taxes EVERY DAY, another a corporation that had been a NY Corp for nearly 30 years and Rush, among many others. The State revenues are far down, their concern is high and as a result they have made the increase in taxes “temporary” in nature. Temporary won’t help though because of Three Pesky Facts: First, this is the second “temporary” increase since 2001 and the ability for them to get back to their former revenues are rapidly becoming impossible with the last 2 niggling little facts….CEO payroll caps and the PERMANENT layoff of so many in the banking and investment fields on Wall Street. Many States are eyeing NY nervously to see if they dare raise taxes on their constituents. As this scheme plays out, it will be soon enough that the government finds out you WILL run out of Other People’s Money (OTM). Looks to me like NY could benefit from a little of Reagan’s Common Sense, as could the rest of our Government but to see Krugman’s upside down rant on Bush back in 2001, our chances appear slim to none they will EVER get it. Again, the definition of insanity.

Recession Widens Gap Between Rich and Poor Even Further. So where’s the hope now? (Small businesses hope they’ll get some relief to produce new hiring.) Flashback Hat Tip Kathy


Healthcare

Is Obamacare Destined to Go Postal?

Again With the Violent Warnings Rhetoric. I assure you Mr. Kennedy, you won’t see it coming from the Right – there is a reason we are called “conservatives”! If anything, you are preparing the press so that the Left can issue roundups and “overzealous” police actions such as what were seen at the G20 last week. Don’t think we don’t see right through your words. You’ve obviously taken lessons from Obama and Pelosi on this one and how unfortunate that is for all of America.

Townhall with Rand Paul A long video (75 mins) but a great one. Rand is Ron Paul’s son. He really does a great thing with Healthcare in America. You will enjoy!

Stop With the Misleading Misleaders Already!

Obama Czar Sunstein: Government Must Subsidize Abortion Is there any limit to the nutballs in the Obama administration? We have many tax cheats. We have a Truther. We have race baiters and people who push euthenasia. Plain racists. Climahysterics. Militant envirowackos. And all sorts of other wackos. And we’ve got…Cass Sunstein, President Barack Obama's head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), who has advocated a policy under which the government would "presume" someone has consented to having his or her organs removed for transplantation into someone else when they die unless, that person has explicitly indicated that his or her organs should not be taken. Under such a policy, hospitals would harvest organs from people who never gave permission for this to be done. Organ donation is great. I hope everyone becomes an organ donor. But pro-choice for abortion and not organ donation?! More like no choice from the womb to the grave. Hat Tip KathyThe Senate Shell Game: Taking Up the Blank Health Reform Bill on the Senate Floor This is OUTRAGEOUS! Every citizen should call their Senator now and tell them they want 72 hours to review the actual legislative language before the bill goes to the floor, and they want a CBO Score based on real legislative language. Hat Tip KathyThe Real Canadian Health Care Field Trip 2009 Canadian professionals are saying--"Don't do what we've done. We will lose our escape valve." Hat Tip Kathy


Immigration

Has Immigration to the US Hit a Tipping Point? Good stuff if we can keep it up!

International

Iran: Tests Missiles on Eve of Talks with fighting words threatening any nation that they will be served a crushing blow should they intervene and frankly it is too late for that anyway as the Qom Installation is beside a Revolutionary Guard encampment. The multiple missile launches dubbed the “Great Prophet IV” were successful in spite of how clever our president thinks he is. Who knows, maybe Sarkozy can put him in his place.

Honduras: Michelletti Bows To Pressure. I can’t say I blame him, but at the same time, he needs to keep doing what’s right in protecting the Constitution. Let’s hope he does.

Afghanistan: Welfare and the Will To Win considering yesterday I told you that Obama has not spoken to his General in Afghanistan except once in over 70 days, it is not so surprising that our dear leader has a problem deciding what to do. In an interesting side note, some say the Taliban is using money American Taxpayers are giving them to defeat our own men. My question? When is enough, enough for this president? So we criticize Bush for not listening to his fighting General’s (of which he should have been criticized for doing), but those very same people applaud Obama who is creating the next Vietnam? An unwinnable war? Not for lack of strong, brave and brilliant men to fight it I might add, but perhaps because our president is too busy pandering to Islamists, too indecisive, too afraid of the political consequences, too pantywaist to not allow our men to do the jobs they have been trained to do, or to give them the support that the General said he needed! Unconscionable, Inexcusable and Unforgivable Mr. president.

The EU: Socialism’s Slow Collapse Question. If it is failing here. If the people are moving right. If Socialism is no better….Why are we moving in that direction? And to see exactly how pervasive socialism can become, check this story out from the UK, government digging through their garbage! Maybe Tammany Hall Lives Again? And Kathy Says This…. Take heart! Some American conservatives demonize Obama’s fiscal stimulus and health care overhaul as a dangerous turn toward European-style Socialism — but it is Europe’s right, not left, that is setting its political agenda.

Cripes, all she’s had to do since inauguration day was plant a garden! This was her baby, in collusion with Valerie Jarrett, so Barry to the rescue! Course, just like Health Care, he doesn’t care what the Chicago residents – divided about equally for and against – think. And he’s got a lot of chits out there in Chicago! Hat Tip Kathy!

The Left Loonies Take On New Meaning

BIG NEWS! and OH BOY! Check out the New EEOC Czar! Gotta love the site I found it on as well. No news dare carry it! FROM LIBERTY COUNCIL Not only is Feldblum a former legal counsel for the ACLU and the pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign, she is a CO-AUTHOR of the ENDA bill (second from the last under On the Hill) that she could soon be enforcing! And what is Feldblum's agenda? Incredibly, Feldblum says that when there is a conflict between religious freedom and homosexual rights, "...society should come down on the side of protecting identity liberty of LGBT people" (LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered). Feldblum stated: "Thus, for all my sympathy for the evangelical Christian couple who wish to run a bed and breakfast from which they can exclude unmarried straight couples and all gay couples, this is a point where I believe an inevitable choice between liberties must come into play. In making that choice, I believe society should come down on the side of protecting identity liberty of LGBT people." The nomination of Chai Feldblum makes the ENDA battle in Congress even more critical. If she is confirmed and ENDA is passed, we should brace ourselves for the most radical, anti-faith interpretation of this bill that is even possible.


On The Hill

Politics

What's working for Mr. Obama and the Democrats? A political party with principles and ideas that resonate with voters doesn't need to ignore the people, nor does it need to resort to parliamentary chicanery to win a result. It speaks tellingly of the weakness, not the strength, of modern liberals that they're willing to end-run the popular will. But we’re here to stop them! Hat Tip Kathy!

Your Say

What’s It All About, Barfy? By Kathy

Mr. President,

The day after your inauguration, you made it clear you had “won.” But somehow it hasn’t yet set in that you are The President of the United States and the Commander-in-Chief. Or at least your performance thus far would indicate this to be the case. During the campaign, you dismissed Iran as a “tiny country that poses no threat.” “Iran, they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance,” you said. Now you flitter off to Copenhagen with Michie and Valerie and Oprah. Guess you just have to take credit for everything, or maybe you know your trip is unprecedented, as no sitting U.S. president has ever made a personal pitch at the IOC vote, so you’ll go down in the history books. And clearly, your Chicago connections had a part in your decision.

Don’t you realize the United States of America is about to implode and the international scene explode? Iran could set off World War III!

For Heaven’s sake, you’ve talked to David Letterman more than you have your commander in Afghanistan! I’d ask you to think about this one inconvenient fact: Americans are even angrier now than they were when GW was president. But, that’s a good thing! As is the fact that your approval rating is tanking big time! Sooner or later you’ll have to learn to lead. But the damage being done in the meantime may be irreversible.

Mmm, mmm, mmm – Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm, mmm, mmm – Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm, mmm, mmm – you are a joke Obama.

Unfortunately, it’s no laughing matter.
