Jews Who Won't Support Their Allies
Pamela Geller in AT "Non-Jews (in England) are demonstrating on 13th December against the anti-Semitism being taught in mosques which goes unchallenged by politicians, the media and so-called 'moderate' Muslims. Jews cannot, in all conscience, leave it to non-Jews to protest on the behalf of Jews who are once again the world's whipping boy." But they did. The Community Security Trust, a leading Jewish group in Britain, urged the Jewish community there not to support the demonstration."
Thoughts on the Democrats’ Health Care Victory
Ron Radosh in Pajamas Media "So the bill looks like it will pass—a bill that will change the country’s health system in profound ways, and that was done without one single Republican vote. It is the opposite of bi-partisanship, that should be necessary when such a major change is presented. Instead, the Democrats have rammed it down the country’s throat, refusing to wait until after the holidays, when everyone- including Republican senators and congressmen-have a chance to read the entire 2000 pages and digest it thoroughly. The Senate vote will come Monday morning at 1 a.m.—when most of the country will be sleeping, and not paying attention. This is hardly the way one hopes the world’s greatest democracy should get its business accomplished."
Obamacare still may not be inevitable.
NRO "Nelson’s sellout is a gigantic step toward the passage of the bill, but it’s not over yet. Here arare five obstacles that still stand between Reid-Pelosi and a White House signing ceremony: " By Rich Lowry & Robert Costa
GOP Leader McConnell... Releases Statement on Historic Mistake
Gateway Pundit "...Because, in the end, this debate isn’t about differences between two parties, it’s about a $2.3 trillion dollar, 2,733-page health care reform bill that does not reform health care and, in fact, makes its price go up."
Who is more respected, Sarah Palin or Al Gore?
Byron York "One is a former vice presidential candidate who has been vilified in much of the press. The other is a former two-term vice president who has been celebrated in much of the press. So which is more respected by the public at large?"...."But the striking thing is that Sarah Palin, after all the criticism that has been directed at her, finished tied for sixth place, respected by 13 percent of respondents, and Al Gore, after all the praise that has been directed at him, was in eighth place, respected by eight percent." Obama was first with 28 votes.
CBO Says Reid’s Vote Buying Cost $1.2B
Sweetness & Light "Nebraska will receive $100 million in assistance for its state Medicaid program under provisions ... negotiated by Sen. Ben Nelson (D). The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) informed lawmakers on Sunday night that the section of the manager’s amendment to the Senate’s health bill would cost $1.2 billion over 10 years."...."It looks like prostitution has been legalized in Washington, DC."
Scarborough: Rahm Fired as White House Chief of Staff 'Over the Next Year'
Newsbusters "We got a lot of friends in the Obama administration right now and they're in trouble because Barack Obama made promises during the 2008 campaign that he would not allow lobbyists to work in his White House. Well sometimes you want lobbyists working in your White House."
Lindsey Graham: Seedy Chicago Politics Passed Health Care Bill (Video)
Gateway Pundit "Senator Graham nailed it this time. “After the “health care bill debacle,” the “change you can believe in” slogan that President Obama campaigned on in 2008 seems to have been replaced by “seedy Chicago politics” with “backroom deals that amount to bribes.”… " From NRO: "You can't even dignify this squalid racket as bribery: If I try to buy a cop, I have to use my own money. But, when Harry Reid buys a senator, he uses my money, too..."

Sing Along: 'This Land Is EPA's Land'
Investors.com "The Clean Water Act is being rewritten to give a government bureaucracy the power to regulate every body of water from the Mississippi River to a rain-flooded field. The first casualty may be American coal."
Flag-Waving Communists & Socialists March in Copenhagen to Stop Global Warming
Breitbart TV "Newsbusters: Network journalists who were quick to see racists, haters and extremists amongst the “tea party” protesters were oblivious to communists in the “climate justice” march in Copenhagen whose cause they trumpeted."h/t to Nealz Nuze
CLIMATE CHANGE
Neal Boortz "Here's a little montage of the communist and socialist protesters in Copenhagen. What a worthless bunch of looters. Sooner or later you're going to figure out that today's environmental movement is much more about fighting capitalism and economic liberty than it is about working for clean air and water."
The High Price of Ben Nelson's Low Vote
Marc Sheppard , AT "But there’s one state that today was guaranteed immunity from such a budget-annihilating burden -- Nebraska. While 49 other states will be forced to scramble and cut and tax and reappropriate in order to meet the new mandates, Nelson’s home state won’t. That’s because Nelson sold his vote for Reid’s assurance that the feds will pay 100% of any new Nebraska Medicade costs -- forever."
