As we pick ourselves up from a gut-wrenching weekend, a battle has been won by Obama and company, but not the war on liberty. This is a new day, and there is no room for compromises. Bi-partisan should be removed from our language, because there is no such thing. The Libs would never compromise in any way, and neither should conservatives anymore. RINOs must be weeded out and defeated. We need to be bold. We need to be agressive. We need not compromise -- and lose. (Thank you Mark Levin for your inspiration)
WHERE THE CLICHÉ 'PYRRHIC VICTORY' COMES FROM

March 21st 2010:
Stupak caves. Obama funds largest Abortion increase since '73.
We lost a great battle today in the quest to stop funding abortion with our tax-dollars.
But I say thank you, to all who joined our fax-campaign and sent nearly 1.4 million
petitions to Congress to save the unborn. Your voices are never in vain.
Ezekiel 3:19 declares,
"If you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,
he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul."
Together we prophesied truth to power; their blood is not on our hands.
Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) and his 12 so-called"pro-life" Dems
caved in today, and sold their souls to vote"pro-abortion" and fund child-killing
on an unprecedented scale. While Stupak boasted his district suddenly received
over $700,000 for airport upgrades, he also dared to claim victory after trading his
vote for a phony executive order that President Obama knows cannot overrule his
new "health" care law that funds abortion.
Two Democrats both admitted the executive order is a sham,
that will not reduce abortion funds by even one penny.
The new abortion funds in the Senate bill, which just passed with HR 4872 on a
219-212 vote,"can't be changed by executive order, because an executive order
can't change the law," admitted pro-abortion Democrat Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL)
on Fox News.
Retiring Democrat Marion Berry (D-AR), one of just a handful to courageously vote
against the bill, agreed:"Despite the recently announced Executive Order addressing
this issue, I remain concerned that this legislation does not go far enough to satisfy
my concerns. As a pro-life Member of Congress, I believe that abortion is fundamentally
wrong, and taxpayer money should not be allowed to support it.
"If only Stupak had such a conscience as Berry.
Obama's proposed executive order contained two false statements:
1) "The Act maintains current Hyde Amendment restrictions governing
abortion policy and extends those restrictions to the newly-created health
insurance exchanges."
(The new law does no such thing, and never did, or there would be no need
for this misleading executive order, that won't stand up to any court challenge,
so abortions will be funded by law.)
2) "Under the Act, longstanding Federal laws to protect conscience
(such as the Church Amendment, 42 U.S.C.§300a-7, and the
Weldon Amendment, Pub. L. No. 111-8,§508d-1) remain intact...
prohibit[ing] discrimination against...health care providers because of
an unwillingness to provide...abortions."
(The National Right To Life Committee rebuked Obama's false statement, saying,
"Nor can the order correct the omission from the pending legislation of the
necessary conscience-protection language ... (the 'Weldon language').")
So no thanks to Bart Stupak, who caved in like the traitor Benedict Arnold,
or Judas Iscariot for his 30 pieces of silver, we must now all pray God will
change the government this November, to oust ALL who voted for this bill,
and demand its full repeal.
Stupak stripped of 'Defender of Life' award he was to receive this week
March 22, 2010,
by Bridget Johnson
An anti-abortion group has stripped Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) of a
"Defender of Life" award he was supposed to receive Wednesday night.
Stupak was to be honored at the annual Campaign for Life Gala of the
Susan B. Anthony List for his efforts to get the Stupak amendments
toughening up restrictions on abortion funding inserted into the healthcare
bill voted on Sunday night.
In an 11th hour negotiation, and refusal by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
to vote on side bills, Stupak accepted an executive order from President
Barack Obama to ensure funds wouldn't be used for abortions.
"By accepting this deal from the most pro-abortion President in American history,
Stupak has not only failed to stand strong for unborn children, but also for his
constituents and pro-life voters across the country,"
Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser
said in a statement.
"Let me be clear: any representative, including Rep. Stupak, who votes for
this healthcare bill can no longer call themselves 'pro-life.'
The Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund will not endorse, or support in
any capacity, any Member of Congress who voted for this bill, or votes for
this bill in any future election."

Find your representative, send them an email and call their office and let them know how you feel and then burn their name and how they voted into your brain so you will know how to vote this November!
Over half of the country voted for Obama and so supported this type reform. Americans are tired and do not trust any in Washington. The corruption falls all the way home to local politics as well. Where are the honorable men and women in this country who represent the people? Republicans and democrats have failed to act honorable and do what is best for the citizens.
All parties are guilty taxing to even double taxation, triple taxation… Robbing me of my meager $50,000 a year income and then distributing it to others. The Democrats have taken for social programs while Republicans take to distribute amongst their business cronies. The difference is that the later creates jobs in industry while the other rewards people to do nothing at all.
Now is the time for States to fight for their right to remove themselves from the Union. After I’ve paid all my Fed Taxes, State taxes, Property taxes, sales tax, automobile tax… My $50,000 a year take home is just over $37,000. Not much to send my kids to college or to take the family on vacation. Working for others and for my basic living expenses has ruined my “American Dream”. Thinking that I need to retire now, collect welfare, get that free medical care, and head to the lake.
All we hear is wait until November and we will vote them out of office. But what happens if obama is able to ram through cap & trade, immigration reform, Union agenda, etc. before the November election?
Our vote and expressing our will to our elected representatives does not work . . . now what?
If this doesn't rally, "WE THE PEOPLE" what will? Obamacare just got crammed down our throats! Is no one listening to "WE THE PEOPLE"? Are "WE THE PEOPLE" going to allow our precious freedoms to be slowly stripped away?
It is time to stand up and be counted! I AM MAD AS HELL AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO! I am going to make a list of all the SOB's and do my part in making sure they are voted out and NEVER hold public office again!!!
GET MAD! STAY MAD! VOTE THE BUMS OUT!
"......I know not what course others may take but as for me...GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH..."
Patrick Henry, American Patriot
GET THE FOREIGNER OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE!!!!!
I got a call from a friend as the vote reached 216. He said "Welcome to the U.S.S.A.". I never thought this would happen in this country. I feel like Charlton Heston at the end of "Planet of the Apes", when he shouts, "YOU BLEW IT UP, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL !" upon seeing the remains of the The Statue of Liberty. Al Sharpton said on Hannity afterwards, "America voted for socialism when they voted for Obama". Let's prove that son of a bitch wrong. Starting this moment, we take America back ! I'm going to bed now, we have a lot of work to do.
Please read my other post for my ideas on how we do just that...
Good Night & Good Luck.
As President Reagan said, "the bombing stats in five minutes"
(don't worry, I, like he before me, was joking. Seriously, we can do this without violence)
; )
I cannot believe my eyes and ears tonight. I feel like I am watching a movie and any moment Superman will reverse the rotation of the Earth and undo these almost unimaginably horrid events.
My father and Grandfather (separate sides) both fought in World War II. When they came home to the States, they thought The War was over. Our country soon found out that was not true.
Soon started the "Cold War". Generations lived under the threat of a Nuclear Holocaust, which was only helped along by the inexperienced JFK who, running contrary to popular lore, did more to cause the Cuban Missile Crisis in the first place by his inexperience (hint - sound familiar?) than he could possibly make up for by alleviating it.
Finally when I was still in high school the threat of communism seemed once and for all ended, as the wall came down, McDonald's opened in Russia and I clipped an article entitled "Hammer and Pickle" showing a picture of two soviets munching on Big Macs.
We thought it was over. Ronald Reagan has won the cold war for us.
My friends, it was NOT OVER.
We see now that communism and socialism didn't die with the USSR. They only went dormant, like some horrible bacteria hiding in our collective bone marrow. Now, as my young children prepare for a future in this once great country, they have re-emerged more dangerous and deadly to free will and open free markets than ever before.
I know not what tomorrow brings, but I fear it's either bloody revolution or unbearable oppression - forced to live a life as "life partners", driving in a Smart Car with our unsalted celery to eat on the way to our six hour wait to see state funded doctors who are busy murdering babies, careful not to let anyone see the lone plastic bottle we've hid from the environmental police on their latest patrol of our recycling cans.
The scary part is that paragraph should be almost comically paranoid but as of this writing I don't feel at all like it is.
The Who said it best. "And the men who spurred us on now sit in judgment of all wrong, while they decide the shotgun sings their song"
I go to bed tonight expecting to find the world a lot scarier and smaller in the morning. I only hope our baloon can make it across the alps. And hopefully we can fit in some singing.
I'm coming Julie. Wait up for me.
"The power under the Constitution will always be in the people.It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, & for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; & whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can, & undoubtedly will, be recalled." - George Washington.
Remember today. March 21, 2010. As I write this, it is 7:30 p.m., EST, & those in Washington are preparing to vote on the health care bill. Remember today. Remember how you feel at the moment you hear how the vote went. No matter the out come, our government has failed us. The political "ruling class" have forgotten for whom they work. If this bill is defeated, don't be satisfied... it never should have gotten this far. If, on the other hand, the Progressives (on BOTH sides) prevail... we must redouble our efforts.
Remember today. The pundits & talking heads will blather on about this & that... ignore them. The only hope for us to regain control of our own destiny, our own liberty, is to VOTE THEM ALL OUT ! The Democrats on the Left obviously have to be removed from office, but don't be fooled by the Republicans... It was their lack of character, dignity, & sense of decency that led us to the situation we find ourselves in now.
Remember today. That fire in your gut, that anger that you feel... use it. Just as the Socialists took control of the Democratic Party & the "Appeasers" took control of the Republican Party, so must we take control of BOTH parties. Don't think for an instant that it will be easy. The professional politicians will fight us, they don't want to lose power. At the same time, they will try to co-opt our movement. Don't let them. We must find people among our own ranks to challenge them in primary elections, in every level of government. From local school boards to State houses, vote them out & replace them with one of our own.
Remember today. The last thing any politician wants is for us, average, everyday citizens, to band together & rise up against them. They fear us awakening. They fear us learning how government works. They fear us learning & using The Constitution, that most sacred of documents. That is where our power resides. The brave men who wrote that document understood that unless "We the People" keep our elected officials under constant scrutiny, they will give in to their base desires for power. The Constitution provides us with all the power we need... SO USE IT.
No politician in office today should sleep easy. They should all understand, no matter what party they belong to... THEIR TIME IS UP !
Tomorrow, if you have not done so already, start getting involved on a local level. Find out what you need to do to make a primary challenge, and then do it. Don't trust some politician, YOU run for office. If you live somewhere that leans heavily toward one party or another, run as whatever will get you elected. Don't lie, don't hide your core beliefs, don't misrepresent yourself... that's what politicians do. Since both parties are to blame for this mess, both need to be remade. Only when we have cut out the cancer that is the Socialist Left & the Appeasers on the Right, will this Nation truly belong to every man, woman, & child again. Both parties were stolen from us, the Conservative, hard working men and women of America... it is time we take it back from the "Statist" Left and the "beholden to religion" Right. We must infiltrate the two party system. The system is set up that way, a third party will only keep the two established parties in power. We can do this.
REMEMBER TODAY !
Is it ObamaCare, PelosiCare or is it WhoCares?
Whatever you want to call what's happening in Washington, it's the beginning of the end of Democracy as we know it.
For years the govt. has told insurance companies not to stand between the patient and the doctor, and yet it's okay for them to tell Medicare recipients what they can and can't have. It's okay for THEM to make the rules that can make or break a patient. And now they're telling the insurance companies to pay for all kinds of things that they didn't before....but Medicare STILL won't be required to follow the same rules even though they are the insurance for seniors and those on disability.
Where's this going to end? Are they going to start their own Walmart too?
Better pay attention folks!

Only through direct participation can we affect the outcome through democracy. This is the link to the site to cast your vote. A vote is powerful and no one listens to someone who's screaming.
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/all
I might not be here much longer but I pray for all of our children and apologize to our forefathers. I hope you will participate in the OpenCongress site.
Several parts of the bill (which looks like it is certain to pass) will take effect almost immediately. Insurance companies will not be able to impose annual or lifetime caps on benefits. Also, insurances will be required to provide FREE preventive care visits.
Medicare IS an insurance for seniors and the disabled. Medicare HAS annual caps on convalescent care of up to 100 days, as well as hospital days.
Medicare only allows 1 preventive mammogram every two yrs, 1 pap smear every three yrs, and a prostate exam every two years. Other than that, there is NO preventive office visits.
If the govt. intends to play fair to private insurance companies Medicare MUST be forced to allow patients with UNLIMITED hospital and convalescent care, the same as it's imposing on them. In addition, ALL Medicare recipients should be allowed FREE annual visits. This means that Medicare must overlook their Part B deductible, and pay at 100%, and not the 80% would be paid for on covered services.
These changes, as well as others will unfortunately run Medicare out of business, but what's fair for the govt. to impose on the insurance companies is only fair if they too abide by them.
Also, insurance companies will be FORCED to accept everyone and anyone who applies. Medicare should also be forced to do so!!
I hope EVERYONE gets the word out that these changes will effect Medicare as well, and if the govt. hides behind the robe of "We don't have to..." then the Federal govt. should be sued over the matter.
So, PLEASE!! Help me and others get the word out that this Healthcare reform is going to be a bigger mess, legally to the govt than they anticipated.
Thanks
Bob
Many have called the in progress health care propose bill to be Socialism, while many are using this terminology, the Truth is, IT IS NOT SOCIALISM, this nation will never be and it does not have any even remote resemblance to be that.
I totally oppose to any government sponsor health care, it will be the biggest financial disaster after SS and Medicare, this are financial cows that are milked daily and the corporations are bucketing millions of dollars out of taxpayers and only the privileged few are enjoying life the way we all should be doing so.
The better way to deal with the high cost of health, is to reduce the profitability that insurance companies are offering to lure investors to be part of their portfolio, since deregulation insurance companies have "manèged" to keep the costs down, to give out bigger returns to those who invest in their corporations.
We have technology capable of detect what is wrong with our bodies, but unless you pay higher premiums than anybody else you will not be entitled to benefit from it, call me short brained, but wouldn't be a lot more effective if the technology is available to all, that way whatever is wrong can be fixed and the human person can go back to be productive?
One very good idea will be to remove the "INDUSTRY" label from health care, medicine is not an industry, it was not the intention of Hippocrates when he discovered, that doing certain procedures on the human body will makes us better, the last I have reason to believe it was his intention, not that some day in the future after he was gone a bunch of giant corporations will use it to put us in the position of; if you have no money or insurance you will not get the full benefit of the science of medicine.
I do believe that we are entitle to receive the same level of care, how do we achieve it? well somebody has to Run the country and tell the corporations how the people has to be treated, that is not socialism or communism or losing your freedom, that is PROTECTING the people from greedy creators of scam to bleed the population out of money, a Revolution took place in this country because of oppression from the existing government, it had made the people mad to the point they had had it and it paid off, a new Nation for the poor and hard laborer was created, that is till some groups decided that in this modern era, there are other ways to oppress people.
Congress is destroying this country, the foundation is crumbling, give me your tired your poor....those words mean nothing to those in Washington, they were replaced by contributions to their party by those who represent corporations called Lobbyists who work on behalf of the very same companies that are denying us to be care for.
In a TV interview Obama made a statement that he did not want to run the banking industry or wall street, well my answer to that is; Do run the banks, wall street, the utility companies, every industry that is out to get US and while you are at it run the country, FDR did it that way.
Lets say you are a cab driver for a small local company, before that you had a great job where you lasted 22 years, that company right before Ronald Regan became president was offering all the employees 100% coverage BC-BS on 3 years labor contracts, deregulation came into place the so called HMO's were now the favorite of all companies because they were "managed care health companies" and there was going to be a saving for all of us, not so there all kinds of "untold" restrictions that were reveled on the need to know basis, well that same guy lost that good job and chose to be a cab driver, long hours to make a decent pay and have to a work ween of 7 days and not nine to five, that driver has a heart attack ends up in a hospital, the hospital has knowledge of the lack of insurance, helps the person fill out the necessary forms to obtain state sponsor insurance, a letter from the attending physician was attached to the forms, at the end a letter of denial was accompanied by a letter of appeal, sent to the residence of the patient, how do I know this I am the driver that had the heart attack, I now take five diferent prescriptions and not entitled to any help from the comapnies that make this meds Plavix and Lipitor are not life saving meds for the poor!!!
Why Study the Constitution? - - - An editorial by David Toy
The Apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians 6: 11 to: “Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” We can all agree; that is wonderful advice. Now, we must also put on the full armor of the United States Constitution because, sadly, our current crop of politicians do not agree with Barry Goldwater, who said: “I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ‘needed’ before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible.”
Do you remember who said: “I chopped down the cherry tree; — I cannot tell a lie.” Do you also remember who said: “If you have health insurance through your employer and this bill passes, his premiums will go down 3,000%; —he’ll be able to give you a raise.” George Washington could not tell a lie because he was an honorable man of strong moral fiber. Barack Hussein Obama cannot tell the truth because, if he did, the public would oppose his plans to fundamentally change the United States.
With the president and many members of congress willing to lie continually to advance their agenda and a news media eager to cover for them, we must know and understand everything that is in our constitution or it will soon become an insignificant piece of parchment. If we, the citizens of this great country, do not know and protect our rights, they will erode and disappear until we are mere serfs, fodder to fuel an all powerful, tyrannical government run amuck.
on Sunday, March 21 "The March For America" organised by WeMarchForAmerica dot org so "Thousands of working families will be coming to Washington, D.C. to show that the 'American People'(?) want a practical solution to the immigration problem.

Wish I could be there with these great patriots but my mind and heart are with you. I am appalled at the arrogance of Congress. I am not suprised at Obama's arrogance because he showed this all during the campaign. I hope we can beat back this vote but if not let us not forget come November. I pray individual states can throw up roadblocks. I have not heard a lot about what we can do if it does pass. Everyone seems to have different ideas or thoughts. It will be interesting to see what states, individuals can do. Again thank you for going to DC and speaking out for us.
