House narrowly passes landmark health care bill

MyWay News "The bill drew the votes of 219 Democrats and Rep. Joseph Cao, a first-term Republican who holds an overwhelmingly Democratic seat in New Orleans. Opposed were 176 Republicans and 39 Democrats." Who is Joseph Cao? "Cao's district voted 75%-23% for Barack Obama in 2008..."

Muslim leader had troubling talks with suspect

MyWay News "Osman Danquah, co-founder of the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen, said he was disturbed by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's persistent questioning and recommended the mosque reject Hasan's request to become a lay Muslim leader at the sprawling Army post."

Fort Hood: A now familiar horror story.

By Victor Davis Hanson "The more a Palestinian imam promises us our death, the more the Iranian president promises a world without America, the more these al Qaedists, like the most recent keystone clowns at Fort Dix, do their small part in trying to reify such mad rhetoric, and the more the sophisticated apologists assure us that we, not they, are the real threat, the more likely the sofa-sitting, channel-surfing American will some day very soon blow up, rather than be blown up."

Ft Hood mosque member defends shootings: "they were troops who were going to Afghanistan and Iraq to kill Muslims. I honestly have no pity for them."

JAWA Report "What are your thoughts towards those that were victims in this?" Duane : "They were, in the end, they were troops who were going to Afghanistan and Iraq to kill Muslims. I honestly have no pity for them. It's just like the majority of the people that will hear this, after five or six minutes they'll be shocked, after that they'll forget about them and go on their day."

Charles Krauthammer : The Myth of '08, Demolished

Townhall "A uniquely charismatic candidate was running at a time of deep war weariness, with an intensely unpopular Republican president, against a politically incompetent opponent, amid the greatest financial collapse since the Great Depression. And still he won by only seven points."

Obama's 'Delayed Empathy' over Fort Hood Massacre

Rick Moran "The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."At bottom, the speech told us that [President Reagan] understood our distress, but insisted that the highest honor we could pay the dead is to continue their work. That is leadership. Obama? Not so much.

Doctors recommending ObamaCare?

American Thinker "I continue to be perplexed at the short-term focus of the AMA on this issue - over which they are willing to swallow hook, line and sinker the rest of the Pelosi bill,' Cornyn said. 'The Pelosi bill not only fails to include common-sense medical liability reform for physicians, but it includes a new government program that will have all the same problems we've seen with Medicare.'"

Analyze This

American Thinker "Hasan left a trail of hate (that is beginning to come out) and everyone looked the other way. He set out to kill as many innocents as he could and succeeded. He screamed Allahu Akbar! (God is great!) during his carnage. There is a crazy man in Iran who has a trail of hate and threatens to blow Israel off the map in the name of Allahu Akbar (while everyone pretends not to hear him). His name is Ahmadinejad and he is not even a psychiatrist."

Muslim Veterans Group Says No Reports of Harassment of Islamic Soldiers

Fox News "Abdul-Rashid Abdullah, deputy director of the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council, told FoxNews.com that the nonprofit group has not received a single report recently of a U.S. soldier being harassed "simply because he was Muslim.""

IT’S OKAY, HE’S NOT A REPUBLICAN:

Pajamas Media "Barney Frank Present During Pot Bust. “Congressman Barney Frank was present during a marijuana arrest at James Ready’s home in Ogunquit, Maine. Ready is well-known for his relationship with Congressman Frank.” Now if this were Sarah Palin’s ex-stepcousin-in-law it would be real news . . . "

Into the Teeth of Public Opinion

Powerline "Our assumption has always been that the House Democratic leadership can pass anything they want, discipline in that body being what it is, and that the real chance of stopping a government takeover of health care is in the Senate. I still think that's probably true, but the rebellion of House Democrats is heartening. As NRCC spokesman Ken Spain put it, "If this bill is the political winner Nancy Pelosi claims it is, then why are Democrats fighting over who gets to vote against it?""
