VETERAN'S DAY

Please take a moment to think of our veterans and of our soldiers both at home and abroad on this Veterans Day. Thank you.

The most corrupting legislation yet, in the form of the Pelosi health care Bill, has passed Congress by the narrowest of margins. We say, so what! This Bill has a long way to go before it becomes law and if the Democrats insist on jamming it through for Obama's signature, they are in effect resigning from office!

The main concern we have at the moment is for those who fought so hard against its passage in the House to realize that today was just the first step on the road to ruin for the Democrats who voted for it. It can still be beaten in the Senate and it won't be voted into law for quite some time. This legislation was purchased with stimulus money and everyone knows it. We write this to point out to those who fought with great dedication and energy that a battle may have been lost but the war has just begun. Save your energy and don't lose sight of the final goal... to relieve Nancy Pelosi of her position as Speaker of the House and to remove the Marxists of their positions in the Congress in the 2010 elections.

MADOFF - MARXIST SYLE

By Chuck MacNab

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has now pegged the unemployment rate at 10.2 %. Even at this rate, it’s optimistic at best because it doesn’t count those who have stopped looking for work and the part time employees who need full employment. To boot, many are suspicious that Administrations who want statistics that favor their arguments will “rig” the figures by exerting pressure on those who work in these areas. Didn’t the Democrats accuse Cheney of exerting pressure on the CIA to come up with supporting arguments for the Iraq war? While we place no credence in these claims, it clearly exposes the “mindset” of the Democrats. One of the Hallmarks of their “modus operandi,” as far back as one can remember, is that they tend to accuse others of doing what they do themselves.

Let’s face it!  Obama’s Administration is loaded with individuals whose focus is on political outcomes as opposed to doing what’s right.  Almost everyone (with their eyes open) knows that the so-called Czars have been appointed to see that ALL the money is directed toward Obama’s political friends under cover of aiding the economy. We guess they’re helping the limousine services, the private charter jet companies and the ladies on Lexington Avenue get some money out of the stimulus since they are among the few not being paid off for continuing to support Obama and his cronies in Congress.  This Administration has proven that, when choosing to do what’s right gets in the way of politics and payoffs, then this Administration chooses to satisfy its supporters. In addition to the massive corruption in which they’re engaged, they exhibit an unbelievable naivete that is getting our troops into big trouble in Afghanistan and is implementing grade school policies all over the world. If this continues, we will see a prosperous, free America turned into a third world country.

It is amazing that the Marxist economic policies chosen by Obama, Pelosi and Reid have been proven wrong so quickly; it took many decades to bankrupt the Soviet Union. (Of course, Stalin and his communist pals covered up their actions with mass killings and that tends to cool down public reaction!) In this case, the Administration has simply used a fawning media to keep the public in the dark. That said, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that the stimulus money and the rest of the huge debt forced on the American people have been used to grab power and pay off supporters. The labor unions, elites, intellectuals, Bush haters and inexperienced youth, who believed that Obama was the answer, have been seriously misled. If these contemporary Marxists gain the power they seek, their supporters will, one by one, be thrown under the bus! When will they wake up?

The action necessary to pull the economy out of its downward spiral and to create jobs is to LOWER TAXES on everyone. It’s not rocket science. The policies of both Presidents Reagan and Kennedy have shown to all but the most rabid Marxists that lowering taxes creates jobs and encourages those who hire workers. What person is going to take risks with their capital and work overtime when the money he or she makes is stolen from them by outrageous taxation? This is what happens when Marxists gain control of government. Dedicated Marxists don’t care about creating wealth – except for themselves.  What they want is POWER over others and what is now coming at the American People is the ugliest and most destructive legislation any batch of nutcase, power hungry, left wing Marxists can dream up. Are the American people really going to allow this to continue? We hope not!

REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES FIGHT OBAMACARE

This article by St Louis, MO blogger Bill Hennessy highights the point that many, including us, have been making about those in the current Republican Party leadership who want the Party to go "Democrat light." Maybe this newly organized group of Republican conservatives, among them our Representative, Todd Akin, can help lead the way to a conservative victory in 2010 and beyond! - Ed.

Republican leadership, at all levels, should have learned a quick lesson about the mood of America's conservatives from the Dede Scozzafava debacle in upper New York state. Unfortunately, the GOP House Leadership might need some remedial instruction. And a group of conservative Republican lawmakers met Tuesday to draft that lesson plan.

Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has been one of the more vocal opponents of ObamaCare. Last week on Sean Hannity's television program, Ms. Bachmann announced the "House Call on Congress." She urged Americans to come to Washington, DC, to a press conference on the Capitol steps at Noon on Thursday, November 5. After the presser, Ms. Bachmann will lead the citizens through House office buildings to confront Democrats on their own turf. She hopes to draw thousands to DC to tell the Democrats to their faces, "We don't want a government takeover of our healthcare." Yesterday, Ms. Bachmann announced that conservative talk radio host Mark Levin would join her.

Leaders, though, tend to be cautious. Before the Hill brass swooped in to "help" organizers by providing speaker lists and talking points, a band of conservatives formed a steering committee to keep the message and the tactics authentically conservative. These rebels don't want talking points; they want a battle cry.

Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO) hosted the meeting of a dozen Hill conservatives who've had enough. The meeting was to help Michele Bachmann, and other originators of the House Call protest, retain control of the event and the message.

Until now, Mr. Akin and a few others in this Gang of 12 preferred keeping a low profile. Emboldened by the grass roots effect in New York's 23rd Congressional District race, Akin is determined to go on offensive for conservative principles rather than just fending off Democrat advances. Last week, for example, Akin recruited eight House Republicans to endorse Conservative Party candidate, Doug Hoffman, in the NY-23 race, even while the National Republican Congressional Committee was pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars to boost Scozzafava.

Tuesday's meeting included Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Ms. Bachmann, Doctors Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey (Rs-GA), Dr. Michael Burgess (R-TX), and others who are willing to take on their own party's heirarchy. According to Mr. Akin, "This steering committee is full of risk takers who've been pushed out of their comfort zone" and are willing to fight for principle. Akin cited an emerging "sense of camaraderie among conservatives" in the House.

The citizens who've manned the barricades against ObamaCare in town halls, tea parties, and rallies will welcome help from the Hill. Republican victories in Tuesday's elections combined with the now palpable influence of the Tea Parties, could allow Akin, Bachmann, King and crew to put the Democrats on defense while keeping the GOP tacking right. Blue Dog Democrats are already warning that a good showing by GOP candidates in yesterday's elections could limit their support for liberal initiatives, including Cap and Trade and healthcare takeover. If popular dissent, determined House conservatives, and jittery Blue Dogs delay a vote on PelosiCare until January, election year risk aversion could bury the ideas altogether.

That scenario would be a disaster for Barack Obama's faltering agenda and a victory for the republic. It could also give the GOP a band of solid conservative leaders it so desperately needs.

A PREVIEW OF HEALTH CARE "REFORM"

Those who have the caring personality of the Dept of Motor Vehicles clerk, the managerial abilities of the directors of Amtrak, the temperament of a Postal employee and the bedside manner of an IRS agent are coming to a clinic near you!  Oh yes, and you're going to be paying for it!
