It appears Big Labor has struck a deal to stick it to the American tax payers -- again. This deal has been done behind closed doors, and not on CSPAN as promised by this president over and over again during his campaign. The 'deal' will tax the middle class on their so called "cadillac" health care plans, but not the union plans, leaving the middle class to pick up the slack in additional taxes -- another in a long line of broken promises.BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, UNIONS WIN, YOU LOSEhttp://tinyurl.com/yk7uw7lRead more…
There is absolutely no lack of material for comment floating through the news today. As we have mentioned earlier, this race has attracted national attention along with national money, a fact that the Boston Globe deplores. What is it telling us, though, that the Globe neglects to mention that the vast majority of that money, a 2-1 imbalance, is earmarked for Martha Coakley? Oddly, the Globe didn't mention some of the reasons Coakley needs that money, such as paying people to hold her signs during public events. Globe readers would have to turn to the Boston Herald to see that Coakley's campaign schedule in Massachusetts has been light enough that she could get caught up in an altercation in Washington, DC. What was she doing there? Just another fundraiser attended and paid for by lobbyists for pharmaceutical companies and HMOs, something else the Globe neglected to mention. Not only is the fact that she was nowhere near Massachusetts potentially embarrassing, the fact that her spin on what happened may be completely bogus is worse.continue:Read more…

Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed an unprecedented assault on our personal liberties. This assault has not come from some foreign power, but from our own tyrannical government.On Tuesday, January 19, a special election will be held in the state of Massachusetts to choose a new US Senator to replace Ted Kennedy. The results of this election could well decide our nation's future.Until now, Democrats have had filibuster-proof majorities in both the House and Senate, thus allowing them to ram through their socialist agenda, in spite of what the American people want. But the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts could give Republicans the critical 41st vote needed to stop the Democratic supermajority in the Senate.Brown opposes the government takeover of our health care system. He opposes giving terrorists constitutional rights and cap-and-trade legislation. Brown's election would not only derail the terrible health 'reform' bill, but much of the rest of Obama's agenda.Up until this week, Brown's election was not even considered to be a remote possibility. The seat has been in Democrat hands for nearly 60 years. But recent polls show that Brown has closed the gap and appears to now be in a statistical tie with his opponent.I urge you to watch an inspiring 90-second video and then decide what you can do to make a difference in this critical election:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nEoW-P81-0Please forward this message to others you know that are concerned about our nation's future. Thank you.

NOW THIS IS LEADERSHIP!!!!!America, Canada , all Europe .....Needs a President like this .................Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, AustraliaMuslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians'.'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'. 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!''Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.''We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.''This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.''If you aren't happy here then LEAVE.. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'Maybe if we circulate this , American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

Michael Steele is not the most popular guy in the Republican Party these days, and then again, maybe he is just that. After commenting on Fox New's Hannity that Republicans will not take control of the House in 2010, there has been a backlash by conservatives. In a time when the right is reeling from the totalitarian effects of this administration, negativity is not welcome.MEMO TO STEELE: GOP WILL WINhttp://tinyurl.com/yfay59dRead more…
A Senate race should never be a national cause celebre, and certainly not a special election to replace someone who died in office. Under the current circumstances, though, it is hard to see how things could have turned out differently. Looked at pragmatically, can we honestly say that the current situation with the Massachusetts special election is one of circumstance? Or is it more arrogance and disregard for true democratic principles?see more at Clean Sweep Beacon Hill BlogRead more…

As today's politics become more and more totalitarian, the overreach of the far left radicals in this administration is beyond belief. A big part of American exceptionalism is our freedom, and voting rights is right up there in the top five.

I am interested in taking back our government from the corporations, special interest groups, unions and all those big money people that control our government. As far as I know it's supposed to be Government of the People, by the People, and for the People and until we take back the election process back from big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ we will never have that.

In an interesting poll analysis, Massachusetts shows weak support for the Democrat health care bill. This is a state that knows first hand what government health care brings -- disaster. Amazing, for a state that has far more registered Democrat voters than Republican.Even in Massachusetts, Weak Support for Dem Health Care Billhttp://tinyurl.com/yz2utz4Read more…
Even though we're disappointed in Congress, the reason we're in a bigger mess now then before is because the Democrats have complete control, and the Democrats are mainly controlled by Liberals and Leftists. Last time we threw out the Republicans, now we need to throw out many Democrats, and if some Republicans need ousting, so be it. Eventually they "might" get it!

Dear members,I think the time is right to organize as a legitimate political Party, elect a Party spokeperson, set up campaign locations and begin endorsements for candidates. After all we have already had parties like the Federalists and the Whigs. My endorsements for candidate possibilities are; Newt Gingrich, Sara Palin, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee.

While straddling the fence, through the late 60s and 70s, it was candidate Ronald Reagan's question "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" that finally gave me the shove, never to return.

THEIR EARS ARE COVERED BUT THEIR WALLETS ARE OPEN!"Question with boldness.; Hold to the truth.; Speak without fear." Glenn Beck speaks of these three mottos on Fox News. These three things I too believe are the root of the problems in America. Not because of them, but for the lack of them.For generation after generation we have lost our identity in this country. Who are we? From where do we stem? Who were/are our parents, our grandparents and their parents back through history? Why did they come to this place we call America? What were their goals, ambitions and hopes? In this day, do we really know or understand? Has our complacency become so instilled in our minds that we brush our heritage aside like a stray hair from our eye? Look back through the years and what our forefathers survived to bring us now to a time where 'WE THE PEOPLE' have now become 'NULL AND VOID."Our constitution was written in such a way as to suppress government control and restrain its power and will. It was amended as we developed as a nation of laws to protect individual rights. It is a political experiment never before conceived and has continued now for over two hundred years only to be threatened by apathy and blind faith. We have to remove the wool from our eyes and closely inspect the body of our country. Search for the flees and ticks sucking the life blood out of our fundamental beliefs this nation was founded upon. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP!What good is a democratic republic with representatives who fail to represent? What good is a law which states 'No taxation without representation' when the word 'Representation' has been pushed to the side? Why elect officials to represent the issues pursuent to their state when these people not only ignore their constituents but pass outrageous laws that affect the whole nation. What is the purpose of a supreme court whose original directive was to rule on constitutional law and now legislates from the bench? Finally, why do we have a president who needs 'CSARS' to advise him when the presidential cabinet was created for that very purpose? The title 'CSAR' reeks of Communism even though they misspelled 'TSAR'. Its root word still stems from ancient Rome and "CAESAR."I have made a resolution never to use the word 'President' and the name of this man who now sits in the Oval Office within the most elegant public housing this nation has to offer. A man who stutters when a teleprompter is unavailable and who allows his spouse to use Air Force 2 to fly to where he is going in Air Force 1.I approve of the '9/12 Project' and am now a member of the 'Tea Party'. The following is my contribution (at least in theory) to the cause.

"God Is Busy"A United States Marine was attending some college courses betweenassignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courseshad a professor who was a devout atheist and a member of the ACLU .One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked tothe ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want youto knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' Thelecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'mstill waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when theMarine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cockedhim, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The otherstudents were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence.The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at theMarine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did youdo that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy todayprotecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to saystupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'THIS IS GOOD. KEEP IT GOING.

~Limbaugh Nailed This One~Love him or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the head..........By Rush Limbaugh:I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country inUniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either,because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11.Well, I can't let the numbers pass bybecause it says something really disturbing about theentitlement mentality of this country.If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you'regoing to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimumguarantee of$250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.?If you are a surviving family member of an American soldierkilled in action, the first check you get is a$6,000 direct death benefit,half of which is taxable.Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs.If you are the surviving spouse, you get$833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of$211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18,those payments come to a screeching halt.Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of$1.185 million up to$4.7 million are complainingthat it's not enough.?Their deaths were tragic, but for most,they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.?Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and theyand their families know the dangers. (Actually, soldiers are put inharms way by politicians and commanding officers.)We also learned over the weekend that some of the victimsfrom the Oklahoma City bombing havestarted an organization asking for the same deal that theSeptember 11 families are getting.In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in theembassies are now asking for compensation as well.You see where e this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part andparcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country.It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military,they usually receive next tonothing of a raise.Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East whiletheir families have to survive on food stamps andlive in low-rent housing.?Make sense?However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise.Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congressone time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus.They do not receive Social Security on retirement becausethey didn't have to pay into the system. If some of themilitary people stay in for 20 years and get out as anE-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month,and the very people who placed them in harm's wayreceives a pension of $15,000 per month.I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weaponand join ranks before they start cutting out benefits andlowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting."When do we finally do something about this?"If this doesn't seem fair to you, it is time to forward thisto as many people as you can.How many people CAN YOU send this to?****************************How many WILL YOU?
