White House May Unveil Pro-Abortion Health Care Proposal Before Summit

*** begin quote ***

The idea behind reconciliation is for the House to approve the Senate bill, which contains massive abortion funding and other pro-abortion problems. Then, both the Senate and House would approve a “corrections” bill that would make change…s to the Senate bill (but not revoking the abortion funding) so members of the House are more likely to vote for the Senate bill.

*** end quote ***

Just like when the R’s shot themselves in the foot with the “Two Term” amendment to prevent FDR from running again (He died anyway before he could run again!), the D’s — if they use reconciliation — will load the gun and aim it at their own foot. Eventually the R’s will have the “controls” and will use reconcilliation again to “rahm” something through!

Turn about is “fair play”. The worm always turns! And, the taxpayer always gets screwed. Sheeple!

MONEY: Obama made your contribution

Obama Promises $100 Million in Aid for Haiti
Posted by Laurence Vance on January 17, 2010 05:12 PM

*** begin quote ***

It sure is easy to spend money when it is not your own. How charitable of Obama to donate $100 million of other people’s money. But shouldn’t America do something to help Haiti? No, America shouldn’t do anything. This $100 million comes out of the pockets of American taxpayers. In a free society, no one should be forced to fund foreign aid to any country for any reason. But what about individual Americans, shouldn’t they do something? Individual Americans may do something and can do something, but it would be wrong to say that they should do something. Who is to say whether John Doe on Main Street in Topeka, Kansas, should donate to the Haiti relief effort? It would be nice if he did, but only God alone can say that he should.

*** end quote ***

This is how I felt when I first heard it — robbed!

There are a lot charities that deserve our support. Voluntarily! SUre, President Obama can pledge 100 million. It’s not “HIS” 100 Million. It was ours.

I have less problem sending some of the military to help out. Like a hospital ship. Like “spare” troops sitting idle, “guarding” Arlington. But we have several wars going on.

I have no problem with VOLUNTARY charities. I do have a problem with “charities” that have no connection to Haiti that are soliciting. And, those with HIGH administrative rake-off. And, those like UNICEF that have an agenda.

I pray for the poor people of Haiti. But, you have to admit that the political corruption down there has made it a worse disaster.

TV’s Tilted Take on Harry Reid’s “Negro” Remark

MRC Study: Race Controversy Buried After Four Days; Networks Gave Most Airtime to Reid Backers

By: Rich Noyes | View PDF Version

January 14, 2010 10:38 ET

*** begin quote ***

The controversy over Harry Reid’s crack about Barack Obama’s lack of a “Negro dialect” is apparently over, at least according to the broadcast networks. Although the story only broke Saturday afternoon, the last network news story aired Tuesday night on Nightline.

*** end quote ***

I think everyone is missing the point.

“no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

Reid’s comment points out how BHO44 can turn it on and off as needed!

Fool the people some of the time; not ALL ALL of the time.

Seating Mass. Senate winner could be delayed
Jan 13 03:22 PM US/Eastern
By GLEN JOHNSON AP Political Writer

*** begin quote ***

BOSTON (AP) – Massachusetts’s top election official says it could take weeks to certify the results of the upcoming U.S. Senate special election. That delay could let President Barack Obama preserve a key 60th vote for his health care overhaul even if the Republican who has vowed to kill it wins Democrat Edward M. Kennedy’s former seat.

Secretary of State William F. Galvin, citing state law, says city and town clerks must wait at least 10 days for absentee ballots to arrive before they certify the results of the Jan. 19 election. They then have five more days to file the returns with his office.

Galvin bypassed the provision in 2007 so his fellow Democrats could gain a House vote they needed to override a veto of then-Republican President George W. Bush, but the secretary says U.S. Senate rules would preclude a similar rush today.

*** end quote ***

What a bunch of “barbara streisand”!

Special place in hell for the bender of the laws?

It’s corrupt and beyond the pale. Guess there’s no “play fair” in Democratic politics.

Fake Catholic Groups Resurface in Health Care-Abortion Funding Debate
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
December 11, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — They led the way in confusing Catholic voters about the pro-abortion record and views of presidential candidate Barack Obama. Now the fake Catholic groups that claim to be pro-life but advance the pro-abortion agenda are back — this time in the national debate over health care and abortion funding.

Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good proved that adding “Catholic” to the name of an organization could get one media attention — and condemnation from pro-life Catholics who knew better.

*** end quote ***

Guess we need some official board for who can use the word “catholic”. Do Coke and Pepsi have these types of problem?

Wash. woman gets 15 months for tax evasion
Fri Dec 18, 2009 3:39 PM EST
Associated Press

*** begin quote ***

SEATTLE — As the secretary and treasurer of Falcon Construction, Michelle Bielaski was supposed to turn over to the IRS taxes withheld from employee paychecks.

Instead, the 48-year-old Bellevue, Wash., woman spent the money herself — $2.5 million of it.

Now she’s been sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay the taxes back in restitution.

*** end quote ***

I’m sure the gooferment doesn’t like a thief stealing its loot!

Serious, was she sentenced for the theft? In which case, the article’s title is wrong.

Where is she going ot get 2.5M$ for restitution?

And, based on what little I know, I bet the construction company has to pay the 2.5M$ to the IRS. So I guess a bankruptcy is in their future.

I just find this “interesting” on so many levels.

MONEY: Making a Loan Shark look good

Subprime Credit Card Issuer Raising Interest Rate To 79.9%

*** begin quote ***

In a recent mailing for a preapproved card, First Premier lowers fees to just that limit — $75 in the first year for a credit line of $300. But the new law doesn’t set a cap on interest rates. Hence the 79.9% APR, up from the previous 9.9%.

*** end quote ***

Good law!

People can’t look to the gooferment for protection.

Self-defense is only course.

Worse than the Mafia?

NEWJERSEY: Unfunded liabilities

Sunday, November 29, 2009

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/11/public_employees_doing_very_we.html

November 28, 2009
Public employees doing very well, thank you
Rick Moran

*** begin quote ***

Unfunded liabilities from these pension plans is in the trillions of dollars with taxpayers on the hook for the balance. It isn’t just “unsustainable.” It is a catastrophe waiting to happen. The entire system in California and other states could collapse if the stock market tanks again, as much of the pension money is invested in financial instruments – some of them incredibly risky.

*** end quote ***

Public pension SHOULD be 403b, 401k, or just plain old IRAs.

Why should the donut eaters ride on the backs of poor taxpayers?

Why should the cost of “public education” drive old people from their homes?

Why in New Jersey am I de facto renting my property from the State?

Argh!

# – # – #

p.s., Hey NJ State employees: Your union and the politicians are screwing you by having NOT made a pension contribution in decades. Argh!

RANT: The paranoia in all of us

Paranoia Strikes Deep
published September 2009
Why people believe in conspiracies
Michael Shermer

*** begin quote ***

Conspiracies do happen, of course. Abraham Lincoln was the victim of an assassination conspiracy, as was Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand, gunned down by the Serbian secret society called Black Hand. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a Japanese conspiracy (although some conspiracists think Franklin Roosevelt was in on it). Watergate was a conspiracy (that Richard Nixon was in on). How can we tell the difference between information and disinformation? As Kurt Cobain, the rocker star of Nirvana, once growled in his grunge lyrics shortly before his death from a self-inflicted (or was it?) gunshot to the head, “Just because you’re paranoid don’t mean they’re not after you.”

*** end quote ***

Argh! “THEY” are out to get us. Violent people want to seize the power of the gooferment to exercise over us. If you don’t think you are “being controlled”, just try doing something the establishment (left or right) doesn’t like!

RANT: Climate-gate is a fraud

When the Press Favors Secrecy
The New York Times has no trouble reproducing damaging documents not meant for the public eye when the subject is national security — but not when the documents embarrass the “scientific experts” used to scare people about global warming.
By: L. Brent Bozell
November 24, 2009 10:39 ET

*** begin quote ***

The e-mails prove just how dishonest this left-wing global warming agenda truly is. And now suddenly, the New York Times has found religion, and won’t publish these private e-mails. Environmental reporter Andrew Revkin, who’s more global warming lobbyist than reporter, quoted – sparsely – from the e-mails, but declared he would not post these texts on his “Dot Earth” blog on the Times website: “The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won’t be posted here.” That rule didn’t apply to things like the disclosure of the SWIFT global bank monitoring program against terrorists.

*** end quote ***

Climate-gate proves that the issue is a fraud and the “scientists” can be trusted.

DIsgraceful! Guess they’l get a Nobel Prize for Science now.
