Shoving it up our @#$%............................

This report is very important. Our government slips further and further from our control. The Demo's while assailing GWB for his "lies" that got us into the situation we are in today, themselves go about their version of legislating for our benefit.
This must be their version of "let them eat cake".

Stealthily, with minimal legislative deliberation (much less media attention), a vast new claim on the United States Treasury is being enacted into law by Congressional Democrats. On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted to bail out Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae with a porked-up bill that allowed only limited debate.

An open-ended, potentially multiple-trillion dollar piece of legislation came out of committee at 6:30 p.m. (July 22, 2008) and was voted upon on the floor of the House at 2:30 p.m. the next afternoon.

Rep. John Culberson's (R-TX) office emailed this information:

H.Res. 1363 a closed rule for H.R. 3221, the Housing Omnibus bill. It
amends the latest Senate version of H.R. 3221 with a 694-page House
amendment, which was made available to House offices just 16 hours ago.

We will have only 2 hours of floor debate on the most sweeping changes
to housing law in a generation. It denies Republicans any amendments or a Motion to Recommit. [emphasis added]

That means only 1 hour of debate for each side. A final vote on the largest open-ended tax commitment levied on the federal government (and therefore its citizens personal wealth) since the New Deal, and the Republicans get one hour in which to raise objections.

The Democrats are running the 100^th Congress ruthlessly. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are largely a Democrat scandal, with names like Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick major embarrassments for the Dems, and therefore objects of little interest to the media.

We are to be committed to bail out Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, banks, savings and loans, mortgage brokers, along with funding for more pork projects without our Representatives given time to actually read and study the legislation. Or time to conduct full and open debate without rules and restrictions applied to those in dissent?

Rep. Culberson, breaking House rules, sent these messages in real time from the House Floor:

• "Total unfunded liabilities of USA over 56 trillion yet today House voted to increase this liability by nearly 10 percent"
• "America's annual budget 2 trillion -- mortgage bail out taxpayer guarantee of 5 trillion in home loans -- US could only pay for it w new debt"
• "Mortgage bail out also added 800 billion to national debt limit TODAY"
• "Mortgage bill creates an open ended line of credit for Freddie/Fannie to withdraw as much taxpayer cash as they want w/o repaying us ever"

The same is occurring in the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will bundle all the legislation together in one massive omnibus bill -- The Advancing America's Priorities Act. This is in defiance of Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-Okla.) fight to put "holds" on numerous bills while still in committee.

According to Sen. Coburn, "The Reid Omnibus is 398 pages and contains approximately 35 various bills." Coburn is also angry that Reid will not allow full and open debate on this bill. Instead Reid is forcing it through the Senate with only one vote. No debate; just one up or down vote.

Upon learning of Reid's plan, Coburn spoke these words from the floor of the Senate:

"That bill is coming about because myself and several other senators have refused to allow those bills to go without debate on this floor and without the ability to amend them. Now, some of them are very good things we ought to be about. But we should not be about it until we are going to inculcate and act as senators the same way every other family in this country has to act; that is, by making a decision based on priorities. ...

"By historical standards, this is supposed to be the greatest deliberative body in the world. In the 110th Congress, 890 bills have passed - 890. Fifty of them have had debate. Only 50 have had debate. And for most of those, the debate has been extremely limited and shortened through the power of the majority leader. ..." [emphasis added]

Also alarming was another Culberson message from the House floor,

"No reporters and few visitors were in the gallery to see America's gov't go into the home building and loan business -- just another day."

So don't look for video of the event on the news. Before this 110th Congress leaves for a 5 week recess it will have, according to Culberson, created the

"Biggest expansion of gov't since New Deal - just passed House 272 to 152 - this may be the best no vote I ever cast - 5 trillion new liability."

But even this is a guess because without ample time to actually read the legislation or to have full debate; no one will know what is actually in the passed legislation until it's too late. Almost without debate, and with virtually no media scrutiny, a potentially major claim on our wealth is being snuck into law.

If not for the new realtime media we probably wouldn't know this much. Which is why Congressional Democrats are trying to silence this technology enabling members to communicate directly with their constituents and the public.

Obamanomics

Grab your check books and get ready to see a wave of accounts moved out of the US.
The presumptive savior of all "he " holds dear has big plans for dipping into every one's pocketbook.

From Money at CNN.com:

http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/20/magazines/fortune/easton_obama.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008062311


"Obama's plan to shift the tax burden toward the wealthy and raise the federal minimum wage to $9.50 over two years (under current law it goes to $6.55 in July)."

Count on the price of everything from gas to hamburgers going up. Leftist's always think that corporations are going to take the increased cost of doing business out of their profits. Maybe they feel it they raise the minimum wage up high enough and fast enough that companies will have to absorb the cost because consumers won't.


He takes his advice from the likes of Warren Buffett, Paul Volker, Steve Jobs, Jason Furman



"The core of Obama's economic plan is:

a) more government spending: $65 billion a year for universal health insurance, $15 billion a year on alternative energy, $20 billion to help homeowners avoid default, $60 billion to bolster the nation's infrastructure, $10 billion annually to give students college tuition in exchange for public service, and on and on;

and (b) shifting the tax burden upward: ending the Bush tax cuts on families making more than $250,000 and raising payroll taxes on those same higher-income earners (the latter meant to bolster Social Security without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age). Middle-class earners would receive tax cuts, and low-income seniors would pay no income tax. Combined with a tax rebate as part of this new $50 billion stimulus plan, he argues, putting more money in the hands of middle-class consumers will help them cope with the income squeeze as well as rising energy prices.

Obama also wants to raise a range of other taxes on business and investment. He would increase the 15% capital gains tax rate - probably to 25%, according to advisors, though he excludes small businesses and new ventures from the tax altogether. He would raise the dividends tax, reinstate a 45% tax on estates worth more than $3.5 million, and close $1.3 trillion in "corporate tax loopholes." The thinking behind those tax hikes comes in part from Goolsbee, a University of Chicago economist who has studied behavioral response to economic policies. Goolsbee believes the Republican argument that lower tax rates - by spurring investment and productivity - end up generating more revenue than they lose is overblown. (He notes that Obama wants to go back to the rates of the '90s, when the economy was booming.) Instead, he believes the tax code should be used to ease financial pressures on the middle class."

In there is no consideration to look at the current budget at take a chainsaw to it to provide the money for the changes he wants to make, just the old tired Leftist attitude of redistributing the wealth of those that have........... to those that wont.

The question of how to raise more revenue may be the economic issue but the political issue is whether socking it to "the rich" in the name of "fairness" gains more votes.

Could be the most dangerous man in America

Barack Obama:


"Issues are never simple. One thing I'm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues."

"The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART"

"The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam."


"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."


What actually not simple is trying to define who Barack Obama is and what he stands for. He was just a simple state politician until recently and now after 2 yrs as a Senator he is poised to become the leader of the free world.
Does any one else smell a rat here?? Now granted the current political climate as far as conservatives go just simply blows..........we have made our bed but it's time to change the sheets.

The person of Obama is beginning to emerge as flip flopping, racist, bordering on a pathological liar. He is beginning to say anything that sounds great to get elected and the problem is the MSM isn't checking the facts (like that's new). Also the jury is still out on whether or not he really hates America..................verdict due anyday now.

There's the Selma speech where he alleges that his father got one of those free tickets to America that Kennedy administration was handing out to young Africans and his parents met at the Selma march etc...................bullshit

He was born years BEFORE the Selma March.

His father came to the United States years BEFORE JFK took up residence in the White House.

He spends a large amount of time making up who he is and where he comes from, begs the question................who really wants him to succeed? He is really coming up against some veteran and well financed individuals and is still pushing through.

Here it comes again............

"Our massive strategy was to use the Fairness Doctrine to challenge and harass right-wing broadcasters and hope the challenges would be so costly to them that they would be inhibited and decide it was too expensive to continue."
--Bill Ruder, Democratic campaign consultant and Assistant Secretary of Commerce, Kennedy Administration



Write your reps.......................now, today, tell them to vote no on any type of legislation of this type.

Time to Get Moving

Ok, it's an election year, we conservatives have about blown it as a collective group, people lookin for change and change we need. Time to come off our high horses, roll up our sleeves and get to doing the real work of setting this place we call America back to right. The Obamanation is set to Change the World.....................give everybody a coke and a smile and one big hug.
America need a new direction....................not that one.
There are members of that party over there that are a second coming of the same ole calvary........the move to the left by many members of our society is frighting. That position has been shown over many years not to be successful..... unless your one of the ones in charge.
I say that if you move far enough to the right or the left, you end up in the same place..............a small group who "knows best" running the whole show.

What do we need to do??

Let's start by telling the truth and demanding the truth from our leaders and the media, change the reps who can't stay on track and do not support advertisers who hawk their wares using media outlets that can't report the truth, be objective or "omit" facts and stories.

Let's start calling people who they really are, no malice, just facts.
Leftists are who they are, they try to hide behind different labels (progressives etc), Islamofacists are who they are. No malice needs to be used just stick to the facts.

Let's learn to voice our case and opinions in head on debates, they of course will try and monopolize the conversation and when that doesn't work they will try and shout us down.......stand your ground, we will get no where playing their game, giving up, or just having places like talk radio to run to as our sanitaries. We must be among them, punch holes in their statements, lay waste to their ideas, but again no malice for once you loose your temper you have lost the fight.

Will it be easy? No we have to retake alot of ground and alot of trust that we let slip over the last 8 years.
But I believe that the spirit is there.........................just think back to that moment when the President stod there with that bull horn and replied "well I can hear you".................the spirit of that moment is the one we are looking for and everyone knows it's there.


Now..........................GET TO WORK.............
