Christian Couple Face Jail Time for Offending a Muslim

Double standard anyone? Is anybody getting this yet? This hasn't been new for a few yeras now. Just to wake you up to see it's still happening and getting worse with all the cowardly law makers shivering in the name of "diversity."

"Infidel! Behead those who insult Islam! There is no God but Allah. There is no prophet but Mohammed!"
Fine.

"But you see, I'm a Christian and that just doesn't work for me. You see..."

"You go to jail now!

NY Terror Attack Was Set for Sept. 11

The attack was allegedly scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of 9/11.
And they say that President Obama has made everything allll right.
There's a reason Obama will not touch the apparatus Bush put in place for foiling these plots. They work. Eventually one will get through the nets, but I think Bush's record of "homeland security" since 2001 speaks for itself. Obama would be wise to follow suit. And so far he has. Do you get who the real enemy is yet? Guys like Najibullah Zazi, or some tea partyers in opposition to the president's healthcare policies?

A Bigger Bone There Will Not Be

A nice anecdotal message from a Masters of economics, Thomas Sowell.

So About This ACORN Lawsuit...

The facts are James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles video-taped ACORN employees willingly advocating tax-evasion and underage prostitution. ACORN says the tapes are illegal according to Maryland state law. They contend that the audio portion of the tape was illegally obtained because Maryland requires two-party consent to create sound recordings.

Under Maryland's Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Act, it is unlawful to record a conversation without the permission of all parties.
Bodoy v. North Arundel Hospital.,945 F.Supp. 890 (D. Md. 1996)
Additionally, recording with criminal or tortuous purpose is illegal, regardless of consent,Md. CodeAnn., Cts. & Jud. Proc c.10-402.

Disclosing the contents of intercepted communications with reason to know they were obtained unlawfully is a crime as well.

That being said, ACORN is wanting to bring criminal charges, where as this appears to be a civil case. It could be argued that it's a civil case brought on by criminal charges, which either the District Attorney or the Attorney General will have to decide on, again according to Maryland law.
However, in a Maryland state civil case, it has to be proven the defendants knew the taping was illegal. In this case, I doubt it.

But why would ACORN, who surely have enough troubles brewing, want to have, essentially, their books opened up. There's going to be some names flying around in the next couple of weeks. Assuming the MSM is willing to cover it and the the White House isn't, not so much involved, but has things they wouldn't want made public.

The irony of O'Keefe and Giles being sued for exposing corruption and/or illegalities by the organization is laughable at best. or as Big Government's Dana Loesch
said in her recent column,
"...if Dateline NBC taped their 'To Catch a Predator' in Maryland, the pedophiles would be exalted as victims and the show’s producers as bad people for exposing the criminality."

Two Men in Unrelated Cases Arrested for Bomb Plots

Two men who apparently have no connection with each other or the FBI investigations into the bomb plots in Colorado and New York, have been arrested for conspiring to blow up buildings in Springfield, IL. and Dallas, TX.

Since one of the accused is a follower of American-born Taliban fighter and traitor, John Walker Lindh and the other, a Jordanian nationalist, I don't think these guys are going to be confused as "right-wing extremists."

Mass. Gov. Picks Long-Time Kennedy Ally to Fill Vacant Senate Seat

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick’s has appointed long-time Kennedy ally, Paul Kirk to the Senate to fill the vacancy created by the passing of Ted Kennedy. Although Kirk has never held public office and has no experience as a legislator (a regular theme in the Democrat Party these days) he is 71 years old. I find it interesting that the Dems have no problem with "new" senior politicians, seeing all the hooplah they spouted about Reagan and McCain.
Dying in office comments anyone?

Bush Lite?

Well, well, well. Discovering it's not as easy as you thought, Mr. President? We all knew it. All I'm asking for is clarification and an admission that it wasn't as easy as he and all his followers said would be.
He'll find a way. And if he doesn't, there's always the tride and true of blaming Bush. He has essentially adopted the Bush position in its entirety.

"The Obama administration has decided not to seek new legislation from Congress authorizing the indefinite detention of about 50 terrorism suspects being held without charges at at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, officials said Wednesday.

Instead, the administration will continue to hold the detainees without bringing them to trial based on the power it says it has under the Congressional resolution passed after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, authorizing the president to use force against forces of Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
In concluding that it does not need specific permission from Congress to hold detainees without charges, the Obama administration is adopting one of the arguments advanced by the Bush administration in years of debates about detention policies.

But President Obama’s advisers are not embracing the more disputed Bush contention that the president has inherent power under the Constitution to detain terrorism suspects indefinitely regardless of Congress.
The Justice Department said in a statement Wednesday night that “the administration would rely on authority already provided by Congress” under the use of force resolution. “The administration is not currently."

In the Name of Throat-Stuffing...

Blinky has decided all on her lonesome to kill the promising "trigger" option that was the only apperatus yet that seemed to be bringing the Dems healthcare bill to fruition. She decided the hell with partisanship and to throw the House Blue-Dog Democrats under the bus all so she can form Obamacare in her image.
“I don't even want to talk about a trigger,” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. She said the “attitude” of her fellow Democrats is that “a trigger is an excuse for not doing anything.”

"Pelosi told her fellow leaders last week that she planned to write a bill that includes a public option tied to Medicare rates, pulling back from a deal she and other leaders had cut with a group of Blue Dog Democrats in July."

Do any of the House Democrats really want to follow this woman into the unemployment lines? Not to mention a little place reserved especially for liberal Dems (ala clearly anti-Semitic, Smiling Jimmy Carter?)

She really wants to have her position as Speaker challenged, doesn't she. I guess she's tired of the free gas, comfortable first-class, private jets and all those beautiful government benefits. Afterall, the lowly plebiens of America certainly cannot be allowed to "have the same plan as Congress does."

"Democrats may talk big about astro-turfing, but the Blue Dogs know well that the reaction in the districts was genuine — and will mean a shortened career for those who support Pelosi’s idea of health-care reform.
Basically, in drawing this line in the sand, Pelosi has said “happy trails” to moderates. She wants to push through a radical agenda, and she thinks that her progressive caucus will be enough to make it happen. Pelosi may find out that she just marginalized herself as a party leader — and if she doesn’t realize that soon, she may wind up marginalizing her entire caucus in the midterm elections." - Ed Morrisey, HotAir.com

Atta Boy

Netanyahu laid it on the table for the shysters at the Useless Nations. He's correct, correct, correct. Since when was the U.N. a centerpiece for dictators? Ahmadinejad? Chavez? These are the people that have the floor and the attention of the General Assembly? These are the "leaders" that the U.N. gives credibility to?

Fascist Doctrine-Phaze Four

The new FCC "Diversity Czar," Mark Lloyd has (if you'll pardon the expression) shown his true colours and perhaps this is not phaze four of the Obama/Boxer/Feinstein/Pelosi "Fascist Doctrine," but phaze one of the "Racist Doctrine."

"This... there's nothing more difficult than this. Because we have really, truly good white people in important positions. And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem.
We're in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power."

"There are few things I think more frightening in the American mind than dark skinned black men. Here I am"

Help me on this. Does the word "czar" now suddenly mean "not to be vetted?" Who are these people and why are they so frightening? And why does the president (that's the president of the United States if you can believe it) not only associate with these people, but why has he employed them in the U.S. government? Also, it doesn't seem like BO is employing a lot of "white people" now, is he?

Too Sweet to be Sour

This is awesome. Kudos to Paul Williams for putting this little montage together to show not only the pseudo-intellectual hypocrisy of Rachael Maddow, but of the lefty-media (which is to say 90% of the entire media) in general. Can you spot it?

By the way, Maddow is speaking about "right-wingers" and Obama, in case you didn't know.
Ironic, isn't it? But, not a peep out of either maddow or Scheiffer about the left's past indiscretions when it came to President Bush.
Once again, being a liberal means never having to say you're sorry. Or even admit to those indiscretions or hypocrisy.

Remember when Dr. George Tiller, the abortion doctor who was killed by a supposed right-winger (which, as he turned out was a lefty, through and through) and the media (especially A MESS NBC) went wild with contempt (and false accusations, of course) and then re-hashed the story for what felt like an eon? Well guess what? The violent left has struck again.

How long will this one go on for? How long will the liberal news networks play this one out? Oh wait, the killer was pro-abortion? How about mmm, maybe a 30-second segment or two.

ACORN....Again...WTF?

Well, so much for an isolated incident. It all across the board. Time to be shut down? No wait, that's something Chave..I mean Obama might do...if it were a righty organization. Of course, they don't exactly do that, now do they?

Obama Does Good

ACORN..Pimping for Underage Prostitution

Two organizers for ACORN have been fired for not only advocating underage prostitution, but for tax evasion. This is what they do folks.





When is this crooked organization finally going to be discredited by Democrats? When there's a scandal involving Republicans, they are supposed to distance themselves from anything and anybody even remotely related to said scandal. When Democrats or in this case, Democrat supporting organizations, are involved in an obvious wrong-doing, the Dems and the MSM say "What scandal?" and chastises anybody who calls for justice racist or worse.

Reaction to Health Care Speech

In my last post about President Obama's address to Congress, I stated he hit a triple when he needed to hit a home run. It appears he may have in fact have struck out entirely.

Of course, not according to CNN who put up a "poll" after the speech in which they want you to believe 2/3 people changed their minds about Obamacare. (you'll notice the comments following the article are overwhelmingly pro-Obamacare. And not surprising on a CNN poll, much like the reaction to Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst. Out of all of these two stories, only one out of ten dissenting opinion per story? Nice cherry-picking of comments CNN) The only thing is, when they say there is an 18% jump in support for Obamacare after the speech, the "polled" were 45% Democrat and 18% Republican. Fair and balanced.

To her credit, CNN’s senior political correspondent Candy Crowley detailed the poll’s results on Anderson Cooper 360 less than an hour after the President delivered his speech on Wednesday evening, and the following morning on the American Morning program. Both times, she noted the oversampling of Democrats. She led her analysis on AC360 with a disclaimer: “Let- let me just sort of caveat this to death before we do it, and that is that- first of all, these are just people who watched the speech...It also skews heavily Democratic. We think that the Democratic sample in this flash poll is eight to 10 points higher than it is in the general population.”
Later she repeated the skew,
"There are some shortcomings to a poll like this. First of all, this isn’t all of America. This is from people who watched the speech. It is heavily weighted to Democrats."

The best intellectuals say Obama went flat. The liberal pundits say he was brilliant. Who has more substance and credibility?

Just a taste.

Obama's Health Care Speech

All in all, not bad. He seemed to finally get to the meat and potatoes of the matter after falling on his face for the last seven months, August especially. He was eloquent as usual and claimed, "I am not the first president to to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last." Time will tell. He seemed to dispel any fears about the, what he called, "key controversies." Or more to the point, he blamed conservative television and radio hosts ("radio and cable talk show hosts," who were not named directly) and "prominent politicians," that "we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens."
An obvious swipe at former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin, who was correct (if not why was that "end-of-life provision of the original version of the bill in HR3200 taken out? Why did the congressional Democrats buckle?) "Now, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple." Really? Just because Obama says it's a lie (which he would know a lot about given his many in the last seven months and years prior) and the liberal media say it has been debunked many times over, doesn't make it so. I mean, the ALcolytes say there is a consensus on global warming when there most certainly is not, so why should this be any different?

"Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often “if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual ... or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility... or a hospice program." [3] During those consultations, practitioners must explain 'the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice,' and the government benefits available to pay for such services. [4]" As Palin stated, and they backed down on. Put simply, bureaucrats would have decided when a stranger, in his twilight years, would be considered for treatment based on need and/or cost; and Obama knows this. Again, if it wasn't what she and others say, why the need to do away with it?

Another "fact" that, well, wasn't; was the president's claim that illegal aliens would not be covered by his plan. Now, indeed, there is no direct language in the bill that says non-Americans will be entitled to health benefits. But there are loopholes.
H.R. 3200, approved just before the recess by the House Energy and Commerce Committee chaired by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-CA:
“Under H.R. 3200, a ‘Health Insurance Exchange’ would begin operation in 2013 and would offer private plans alongside a public option…H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on non-citzens—whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently—participating in the Exchange.”

The Congressional Research Office stated:
"Although HR3200 does state, 'Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.'"

However, the bill contains no verification requirement or enforcement process for citizenship or legal residency, as exists for other federal benefit programs. The only verification required for the subsidies pertains to family income. Beyond that, as the CRS report notes, everything is left in the hands of the Health Choices Commissioner.

CRS also notes that "undocumented aliens" who have a "substantial presence" in the US would be required to buy health insurance (page 4) through the exchanges in HR3200. They would also become eligible for "emergency Medicaid," although not normal Medicaid (page 6) for up to five years." [Section] "246 would bar unauthorized aliens from receiving any premium or cost-sharing credit." However, "...absent of a provision in the bill specifying the verification procedure, that the Commissioner would be responsible for determining a mechanism to verify the eligibility of non-citizens for the credits."

House Democrats defeated all attempts in committee to add an enforcement mechanism that would require proof of citizenship or legal residency for those getting subsidies. Obama knows this, too.

On the this subject, when President Obama stated, "the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." Republican, South Carolina Representative, Joe Wilson yelled "You lie!" Obviously Wilson has read the CRS's report and didn't much care for the president's embellishment.

He later apologized.
He may have been right (with others agreeing with him) but not exactly the right place. Although the looks on Pelosi and Biden's faces were priceless. "How dare they! How dare they question our Messiah!?" You know Blinky's going to make him pay for that one.

Which reminds me, that number of "30 million uninsured Americans" sure does keep changing. Wasn't it just last week that it was at 47 million? I'm assuming it was dropped for the speech to omit the number of illegals inflating the number?

Ok, ok. Here is the good stuff. If this isn't yet another case of Obama saying one thing and doing another:

"I believe it makes more sense to build on what works and fix what doesn't, rather than try to build an entirely new system from scratch." Quite in contrast to what Van Jones proudly said. Yeah, I know, that was about the enviornment. But these Alinsky-ites all do think alike you know. It's this statement that makes me think he was forced to centralize his views on the matter.

He even took a plan or two from the Republican playbook, giving Senator John McCain credit and even, believe it or not President George W. Bush!

"...many in this chamber -- particularly on the Republican side of the aisle -- have long insisted that reforming our medical malpractice laws can help bring down the cost of health care. (Applause.) Now -- there you go. There you go. Now, I don't believe malpractice reform is a silver bullet, but I've talked to enough doctors to know that defensive medicine may be contributing to unnecessary costs. (Applause.) So I'm proposing that we move forward on a range of ideas about how to put patient safety first and let doctors focus on practicing medicine. (Applause.) I know that the Bush administration considered authorizing demonstration projects in individual states to test these ideas. I think it's a good idea, and I'm directing my Secretary of Health and Human Services to move forward on this initiative today.

Tort reform!...sort of.

Plus:

"...if you are among the hundreds of millions of Americans who already have health insurance through your job, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or the VA, nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have. Let me repeat this: Nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have."

We've heard this before. And it's not true. It will be considerably cheaper for employers to use the government option and millions will be forced to use the one-payer system. It's that simple. Again, Obama knows this.

"Under this plan, it will be against the law for insurance companies to deny you coverage because of a preexisting condition. As soon as I sign this bill, it will be against the law for insurance companies to drop your coverage when you get sick or water it down when you need it the most. They will no longer be able to place some arbitrary cap on the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or in a lifetime."

"...if you're one of the tens of millions of Americans who don't currently have health insurance, the second part of this plan will finally offer you quality, affordable choices. If you lose your job or you change your job, you'll be able to get coverage. If you strike out on your own and start a small business, you'll be able to get coverage. We'll do this by creating a new insurance exchange -- a marketplace where individuals and small businesses will be able to shop for health insurance at competitive prices. Insurance companies will have an incentive to participate in this exchange because it lets them compete for millions of new customers."
"...It's how everyone in this Congress gets affordable insurance. And it's time to give every American the same opportunity that we give ourselves."

It looks like the mountain has been brought to Mohamed. Like I said, if it's true.

"My guiding principle is, and always has been, that consumers do better when there is choice and competition."

Puh-leaze!

"Now, I have no interest in putting insurance companies out of business. They provide a legitimate service, and employ a lot of our friends and neighbors. I just want to hold them accountable"

"If you misrepresent what's in this plan, we will call you out"

So the president has given the Democrats and any and all supporters of his plan carte blanche to use the rhetoric and hyperbole to attack anyone that should denounce his plan. No matter what facts they bring to bare. This includes the media. This especially includes the media.

"[I]t's worth noting that a strong majority of Americans still favor a public insurance option of the sort I've proposed tonight. But its impact shouldn't be exaggerated -- by the left or the right or the media. It is only one part of my plan...?"

The public option, the one-payer; I thought Republicans were going to walk out after he said this.

"I say that rather than making wild claims about a government takeover of health care, we should work together to address any legitimate concerns you may have."

Mm hmm. Again, anything said about the plan will be looked down upon with contempt.

"I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits -- either now or in the future. I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period."

"I will continue to seek common ground in the weeks ahead. If you come to me with a serious set of proposals, I will be there to listen. My door is always open. But know this: I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than to improve it.

Now this next part may have won him some points in the polls:

"I understand that the politically safe move would be to kick the can further down the road -- to defer reform one more year, or one more election, or one more term. But that is not what the moment calls for. That's not what we came here to do. We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it. I still believe we can act even when it's hard. (Applause.) I still believe -- I still believe that we can act when it's hard. I still believe we can replace acrimony with civility, and gridlock with progress. I still believe we can do great things, and that here and now we will meet history's test.

This speech was the last straw for Obamacare. He needed to hit it out of the park. I think he at least got a triple. Like I said, all in all, not bad. Dare I say...impressive. We'll see if it holds water.
I doubt it.

A Must Read

Here is a great article about the Fifth Column from Pajamas Media's Mary Grabar.

Van Jones Resigns

Well, that didn't take long. Van Jones, the self-affirmed, communist and racist has resigned his post as "Green Czar" of the Obama administration, amid backlash stemming from his anti-Republican, anti-Bush, anti-white comments. Now, if only the president himself would follow suit.

He's Not Jimmy Carter

I myself have said that if John McCain was the third term of George W. Bush (as Obama, Biden the whole Democrat Party and the media routinely said) then Barack Obama is the second term of Jimmy Carter. And even though like Carter, I believe Obama is doomed to be a one-termer (yes, even after only eight months) and he has screwed up America (and plans even more damage) probably more than Smiling Jimmy could ever dream of, I may have spoken a little too soon on the outright comparisons.

The American Spectator's Quin Hillyer kind of set me straight. Obama, is in fact, much, much scarier.

BONUS: I had to post this comment from someone with the screenname of, "Grzmlyk." It is awesome!

And of course Bob will wag his finger and say, so what? GDP will be up, up, up (eventually!) and effective tax rates will remain consistent with their historic averages! So nothing will have changed in America. As long as spending is accounted for, what difference does it make if we live in a totalitarian dictatorship or the land of the free? Who cares? Yes, Bob, we're all impressed by your pristine lack of ideological blinders. Give yourself a gold star for today.

For those of us with eyes, however, the transformation of America into a third-world banana republic continues apace. This article depressed me further about the prospects for America's future, if that is possible. And yet it’s even worse than that.

For one, Etiquette Man makes an excellent point. Marquis of Queensbury rules will not cut the mustard. Because the playing field is tilted further against us even than this article postulates.
One additional factor is the fact that our public education system has produced far more mindless "pod people" through its indoctrination than it had produced during the Carter years, when the liberal stranglehold on our schools was still just coalescing. The utter transformation of our education system - from kindergarten through your average PhD program - into a liberal propaganda conveyor belt has created a disturbingly large swath of citizens that could be termed "The Manchurian Electorate."

But instead of becoming catatonic putty in the hands of their puppet masters whenever they hear the phrase, "why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire," today's Manchurian Electorate becomes malleable, mindless tools of malfeasance whenever they hear the words "tolerance," "diversity," "social justice," "racism," "green" "right wing" and select other heavily weighted code words.

Just give them the word, and these people will happily kill freedom and prosperity just as cheerfully as Raymond killed his fellow soldiers - unburdened by any sentient awareness of their actions and therefore without moral compunction whatsoever.
For these dangerous automatons, what's happening in this country is simply an afternoon tea party at the local ladies' club, slightly marred by the "whack jobs" outside whining about taxes and death panels. Like Bob and Liberal Reader, these fools do not recognize the brutal infiltration into - and destruction of - a system that had been a beacon to the world for over two hundred years.

In addition, while the mainstream media was monolithically liberal back in the Carter era, they have become downright rabid today. They have abandoned any pretense of objectivity and climbed aboard the Obama Tyranny Express, which is hurtling around dangerous curves with a maniacal engineer at the helm and no brakeman anywhere in sight. Indeed, this railroad has no regard whatsoever for the fate of its passengers; it’s the rush of holding all that power that matters.

The Internet? Please. One need only do a google search on any conservative issue and check the "hits" to see that the bulk of political content produced in the cyber world favors the liberal point of view over the conservative one by a factor of about five.
While I do think, beneath the hopey changey, "I care" mask, that Obama is such an odious, callous, ruthless, ambitious and vengeful personality that the People's affection for him will eventually wane (and I am not impressed by his oratorical skills one iota, although they do benefit greatly by a comparison with Bush's), I think that even those “good liberals” who aren't True Believers Till the End in the Bunker would never be so gauche, so unseemly, as to admit publicly that they don't, you know, care for him.

He is black, after all. You can’t dislike black people in positions of power. Because you know that that makes YOU.

And that whole dynamic is something Hillyer didn't touch on at all. Will anyone ever admit that Obama is making use of the cynical ghetto tactic of racial intimidation? Just as our cities are chock-full of bourgeois whites cowed by blatantly aggressive behavior in their midst by malevolent blacks lest they be labeled “bigots,” his race inoculates Obama – and, by association his fellow thugs of every ethnicity - from criticism.

As a result, he and his merry band of felons and miscreants can plunder, pillage, loot and vandalize this country in broad daylight and simply stare down any meek citizens who might have the temerity – dare I say the “audacity” - to object to this institutional rape, this blatant “democricide,” with the threat of a charge of "racism." Obama's color is kryptonite and he knows it. Post racial? Hardy har har. Obama has proven Archimedes right: But instead of employing a lever long enough such that it could move the very earth, all Obama needed was pervasive white guilt.

Add these conditions to those that Quinn Hillyer articulates above, and the future for our republic is even bleaker than he imagines. And that’s why I’m already preparing for my extended stay at my local “reeducation camp,” where, I’m told, “service” will set me free.

See you in the gulag, comrades.

Introducing Van Jones

In case you still don't know who he is by now, here is President Obama's "Green Czar."
A self-avowed communist who believes the Bush Administration brought down the Twin Towers. Oh, that's right, he doesn't really believe that.

Obama Interfering in Other Countries?

Isn't that one of the things he was against when he ran for president? Isn't that one of the things that the evil George W. Bush did to Iraq, that Obama swore to undo and never do?

So he makes nice with America's enemies, yet sees no problem in interfering in a country's constitution?

It's becoming abundantly clear that the "H" in Obama's name stands for hypocrite.

Clinton is "Like God"

Will the wonders that come dribbling out of Chris Tingle's mouth never cease? We obviously know he has a thing for Obama as his saviour, but I didn't know he thinks the former president is "the voice of God."

This from last evening's Hardball:

After a clip in which former President Bill Clinton urged the passage of health care reform, Matthews, on the August 31 edition of "Hardball," offered the highest of compliments:

MATTHEWS: Let's take a look at the former President Bill Clinton who really knows what he's talking about in politics, especially on this front, where he went through that Hell in '94. Here he is offering advice to the Left in saying this. Let's listen.

BILL CLINTON: I'm just telling you we need to pass a bill. It needs to be the best bill we can possibly get through Congress. But doing nothing is not only the worst thing we can do for the economy, and the worst thing we can do for health care, it's the worst thing we can do for the Democrats. And don't you think the Republicans don't know it.

MATTHEWS: That is the Voice of God sir, David Corn. That is the Voice of God because it's the voice of truth and experience. I completely buy what he said, completely. Because when you lose in politics you lose. And if you think you're gonna get any credit from the center, or from the right, or any of the commentators from that part of the world, for losing, you're crazy! The Democratic Left will be pounced on and blamed for defeat. So this idea you're waiting for the perfect bill or you won't go without the public option is suicidal.

Incidentally this isn't the first time Matthews has spoken of the former president in religious tones, as back in February 28, 2007, he compared Clinton to Jesus. MATTHEWS: When I watched him [former President Bill Clinton] at Mrs. King's funeral, I just have never seen anything like it....There are times when he sounds like Jesus in the temple. I mean, amazing ability to transcend ethnicity — race, we call it, it's really ethnicity — in this country and, and speak to us all in this amazingly primordial way.

Does this guy need Prozac, or what?

"This is My Townhall Meeting"

So says Democrat Representative Baron Hill.



It's not his arrogance that surprises me, it's the fact that he so blatantly said it for all to hear. I guess he set all those plebeians in the audience straight, huh?
Do any of these pompous Dems know what they'll be doing after Nov. 2010?

Sorry Charlie...

You should go to jail now. But will he? No, he's a Democrat.
He's also a race-baiter. Surprise!

New "Green Czar" is Officially a Nutter

Haven't these "9/11 troofers" been debunked enough?
This guy is in the admistration now, so look in a few filing cabinets and see what you can find. Then when you don't say a word because there is nothing there, shut up!

Just because you want to "change the whole system," and you think communism is the bee's knees (he only became one in the early nineties, a bit after the hey day of it's avante gard "coolness") doesn't make you sociological savior or genius.

By the way, when will the president appoint a czar "czar?"

Isn't This Great

A leg of the Axis is close to going nuclear. What will Dear Leader do about this? Have them over for dinner and give them arrogant and/or useless gifts of course.

Obamacare Supporter Bites Off Finger

Maybe this coward who picked on the oldest, most-seemingly-defenseless person in the crowd was just trying to get a "taste" of how these anti-health reformers work.

He wasn't so defenseless as it turned out. Kind of apropo that the assailant was wearing a black shirt, though.

Pat Buchanen is Out of His Mind

I can't believe the drivel he has written this time. I'll let his own crap speak for itself.
You know, I like his thoughts on the Obama administration and the mainstream media, but if this is what he really thinks, I may have to totally ignore him from now on. What is he thinking?
