Pelosi brags that Obamacare is just the beginning
Rick Moran, AT "Somewhere in all of this, there has got to be the recognition that Pelosi-Obama-Reid have no faith in the democratic process and prefer debate and voting to occur after their diktats are passed. This, of course, is backwards from the way democracy should be working. As long as she has her caucus behind her, Pelosi will be able to do just about anything inside and outside the rules." Be sure to thank any celebrity for this.
Thanks Barack. It really didn't have to come to this
American Thinker "....a President who doesn't recognize America's best interests, never mind Israel's, and who hasn't got the toughness to act on them even if he did. Nothing to trust or depend on there. All of which guarantees that Israel will, among other things, launch a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in order to prevent it's own obliteration. Soon. "
Slaughter House Rules
WSJ "We're not sure American schools teach civics any more, but once upon a time they taught that under the U.S. Constitution a bill had to pass both the House and Senate to become law. Until this week, that is, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi is moving to merely "deem" that the House has passed the Senate health-care bill and then send it to President Obama to sign anyway. "Via Neal Boortz. And here: House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it .
SINISTER DOINGS AFOOT
Neal Boortz "While you can read this new bill here, it won't be worth your time. Why? Because these 2,300 pages aren't even the 2,300 pages that the President and Speaker Pelosi want us to vote on. That's right: the pages that they want us to vote on haven't even been completed yet. The bill that the Budget Committee is working on is simply a placeholder because the Speaker is still working out new language. The plan, we're told, is that Budget Committee will finish its work today to move the process along and then tomorrow--likely deep into the night--the Rules Committee will take up the bill. The Rules Committee will completely erase the 2,300 pages approved by the Budget Committee and insert thousands of entirely new pages into the bill."
Pedal to the Medal: It's Time to Flood Congress with Calls, E-mails
Rush Limbaugh "Call the Capitol Switchboard: 877-762-8762 or 202-224-3121• Code Red: Click Here for List of Targeted Congressmen .".... "Well, hint, hint! The Republicans can't stop Obama. The American people can, but the Republicans can't. They don't have the votes to stop Obama. This is not about the Republicans! The Founding Fathers intended none of this. Heritage Foundation is on a mission to make sure you know exactly how the Democrats are damaging the bedrock of our system of government."
Video Posted On Militant Web Site Calls For Muslims In Nigeria To Use "The Sword And The Spear" Against Christians...
Weasel Zippers "The video on the Ansar al-Mujahideen forum, a Web site sympathetic to al-Qaida, comes in the wake of a series of religious massacres and riots in central Nigeria."

Our Reset Reset Foreign Policy
Victor Davis Hanson "Fortunately, for the country, Obama did not take three years to reverse course, unlike Jimmy Carter whose inaction led to a series of foreign policy catastrophes like the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the storming of the U.S. embassy in Tehran." Will the lessons learned from this bad experience keep us from doing this again? I think not.
Americans see Obama as weakening the U.S.
National Review- "And that is how, in 14 short months, the American people’s confidence in President Obama and his party’s ability to keep us safe has plummeted. This is unfortunate, given that it takes presidents a long time to regain — at home and abroad — power they’ve lost. Friend and foe have taken his measure. And his foes are happier than his friends."
The Slaughter Strategy(to pass Obamacare)
NRO "Under this scheme, House members would vote on a bill of amendments to the despised Senate bill, and the Senate bill would be “deemed” to have passed if this companion bill is approved. This is supposed to inoculate House members, who could say they never actually voted for the Senate bill."...."Rep. Mike Pence (R., Ind.) gave the rallying cry for opponents in a speech this week: “This is a five-alarm fire! Think about the biggest battle you have ever fought and double your effort. This is the most important fight of our time!” " Emphasis added.
First Sowing — Now Reaping?
Victor Davis Hanson "Now that foreign leaders have had more than a year to size up the Obama administration, I think things abroad are going to begin to happen quite quickly. At best, American policy is so lethargic that it will force freeloaders and opportunists to grow up and get out on their own; at worst, we have flipped — and are no longer the world’s staunch bastion of support for free-market capitalist democracy."
ObamaCare Rules & Regs; fright warning!
Lucianne "As a practicing physician, I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill & am shocked by the brazenness of the government’s proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. ....the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed. I ask you respectfully & as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country & our fellow citizens."
OBAMACARE, INSURANCE COMPANIES AND FEAR-MONGERING
Boortz "Perhaps the worst case of fear-mongering has come from the man himself - Barack Obama. His latest push to demonize the health insurance companies is just one example. And how about the president's favorite example of Anthem Blue Cross in California increasing premium rates by 39%? What Obama fails to tell you is this ...."
