Mary Landrieu Believes There Is A Difference Between Call Girls and Streetwalkers

Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu is one of those phony "conservative Democrats" who always pretends to be waffling between protecting liberty and growing the state. Most recently she has pretended to be against the Statist Democrats' desire to nationalize the American health care industry. However, she agreed to vote "yes" to the first procedural hurdle to open Senate debate on the Obama Care assault on the American people. And it only cost taxpayers $100 million. Ooops, make that $300 million. Who says? Landrieu herself, as reported on Newsbusters:

In explaining the latest Hurricane Katrina extortion, Landrieu boasted:

"Our state is still as poor as it was, if not poorer. I am not going to be defensive about asking for help in this situation and it is not a $100 million fix, it is a $300 million fix."

But, she denied that $100 million provision was the reason she had decided to vote in favor of cloture.

"I'm proud to have asked for it," Landrieu said. "I'm proud to have fought for it and I will continue to. That is not the reason I am moving to debate. The reason I am moving to the debate, as expressed - in this statement and in hundreds of statements and speeches I've given over the last year or two on this subject, which should be self-explanatory."


Well, there you go. Four years ago. a natural disaster hit the nation's most corrupt and mismanaged state, therefore all Americans must sacrifice their individual liberty. Landrieu gets to dribble $300 million of pork on the Pelican State while the rest of America gets health care treatment at the whim of Tom Daschle and Ezekiel Emmanuel.

Senator Landrieu seems to believe that selling your integrity for $300 million is somehow more noble than giving it away on the cheap. She can call herself a call girl for the people if she likes. In reality, she is just another low rent streetwalker willing to sell something more precious than her body: the individual liberty of the American people. Hopefully, the citizens of Louisiana are not as cheap in their convictions as is Mary Landrieu.

Mark Warner and Jim Webb Support Harry Reid Over Virginia

From Norman Leahy at the Tertium Quids blog:

Warner, Webb both to vote "yes" on cloture

Both Senators Mark Warner and Jim Webb intend to vote "yes" on the cloture motion tomorrow evening that will bring Sen. Reid's health insurance bill to the floor for debate.

Warner makes it clear he's looking for a handout (though probably not in Sen. Landrieu's league...but you never know), while Sen. Webb's office could only muster a spokesbeing, who says he'll vote "yes," too.

So...the debate will come, the taxpayers' checkbook will be opened wide and votes will be traded like shiny marbles on the Senate floor. It's just grand.


Hopefully, Virginians have caught on to the sad fact that Mark Warner and Jim Webb are not old-style "conservative Democrats." In fact, you have a better chance finding a Yeti than finding a "conservative Democrat" in the U.S. Senate. Warner and Webb are both dutiful stooges who answer to the Statist Democrat leadership and Democrat special interests.

Warner and Webb, like most politicians, assume the dumb masses have short memories and will forget all about their involvement in the Kremlin on the Potomac's takeover of the American health care system. Neither is up for reelection in 2010. Webb faces the voters in 2012 and Warner in 2014. Keep these traitorous actions filed away and when these Quislings ask to have their membership in Klub Kongress renewed send them to the unemployment line.

Conservative Women and the Liberals Who Hate Them

Leftist/Statist Democrats so desperately want the Republican Party and Conservative movement to be a white dude's club that ethnic minorities and women who escape the Democrat plantation are treated as traitors. Leftists are much more threatened by liberty-lovers such as Clarence Thomas and Sarah Palin than they are by radical Islamic terrorists. The Islamo-fascists just want to kill Americans, but Thomas and Palin are a threat to Democrat identity politics which is the primary method by which they achieve and wield power.

Doug Patton has a great piece on Human Events about the Left's pathological hatred of ideological "traitors."

Pelosi and Obama Have Contempt For the Constitution...And You

Dr. Walter E. Williams is one of America's greatest thinkers, but his column "Constitutional Contempt" is not a deeply thought opinion piece. Just horrifyingly accurate! Dr. Williams' premise is a very obvious point that, sadly, not enough Americans seem to get.

At Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Oct. 29th press conference, a CNS News reporter asked, "Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?" Speaker Pelosi responded, "Are you serious? Are you serious?" The reporter said, "Yes, yes, I am." Not responding further, Pelosi shook her head and took a question from another reporter. Later on, Pelosi's press spokesman Nadeam Elshami told CNSNews.com about its question regarding constitutional authority mandating that individual Americans buy health insurance. "You can put this on the record. That is not a serious question. That is not a serious question."

Suppose Congress was debating a mandate outlawing tea-party-type protests and other large gatherings criticizing Congress. A news reporter asks Nancy Pelosi where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to outlaw peaceable assembly. How would you feel if she answered, "Are you serious? Are you serious?" and ignored the question. And what if, later on, someone from her office sent you a press release, as was sent to CNS News, saying that Congress has "broad power to regulate activities that have an effect on interstate commerce," pointing out that demonstrations cause traffic jams and therefore interferes with interstate commerce?

Speaker Pelosi's constitutional contempt, perhaps ignorance, is representative of the majority of members of both the House and the Senate. Their comfort in that ignorance and constitutional contempt, and how readily they articulate it, should be worrisome for every single American. It's not a matter of whether you are for or against Congress' health care proposals. It's not a matter of whether you're liberal or conservative, black or white, male or female, Democrat or Republican or member of any other group. It's a matter of whether we are going to remain a relatively free people or permit the insidious encroachment on our liberties to continue.

Where in the U.S. Constitution does it authorize Congress to force Americans to buy health insurance? If Congress gets away with forcing us to buy health insurance,
down the line, what else will they force us to buy; or do you naively think they will stop with health insurance? We shouldn't think that the cure to Congress' unconstitutional heavy-handedness will end if we only elect Republicans. Republicans have demonstrated nearly as much constitutional contempt as have Democrats. The major difference is the significant escalation of that contempt under today's Democratically controlled Congress and White House with the massive increase in spending, their proposed legislation and the appointment of tyrannical czars to control our lives. It's a safe bet that if and when Republicans take over the Congress and White House, they will not give up the massive increase in control over our lives won by the Democrats.

It isn't just that the Radical Left of the Democrat party believes in jamming statism down America's throat. The Radical Left controls the Democrat party and a Radical Leftist is President of the United States. So-called moderate Democrats or "blue dogs" are much closer to the Statists than they are to the Constitution. Ditto the Republican party. If allowed, many Republicans will pursue the siren song of the Statist's utopian dreams, but in "conservative" doses.

If Americans want to keep their liberty, they will begin to fight political battles from that standpoint. Death panels and publicly-financed abortions are sideshows and diversions from the real threat. Our constitutional republic and the protections provided by such a government are under siege. I don't care if the health care bill is 2,000 pages or two sentences. If the result is diminished freedom, the rest is mere detail.

Elementary School Children Sing Praises To Obama--Frightening!

Indoctrination of the youth has always been a key tactic of statist regimes. Shaping the minds of a new generation is one of the surest ways to eliminate the thoughts and principles that previously guided a society. Now, a New Jersey elementary school brings us a teacher indoctrinating children through hymns of praise to Dear Leader, Barack Obama.




That isn't education. There is no excuse for such blatant indoctrination in a public school classroom. If this nitwit teacher wants to chant "yes we can" while she waves her "hope" and "change" signs, more power to her. However, she has absolutely no right to use the bully pulpit of the classroom to have children singing hymns to the Barack Obama.

In showing America what we were up against in World War II, Hollywood director Frank Capra produced the "Why We Fight" series. Check out the segment below for a look at schoolhouse indoctrination (the hymns for Hitler starts at about 7:40 of the video).

CNSNews.com - Study Shows Sharp Increase in TV Ads Soliciting Plaintiffs for Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Leftist Democrats fully reject any proposal to reign in the ambulance chasing predators who drive up medical costs through ridiculous lawsuits. This is more proof that power for government and the Statists' sugar daddies, for instance trial lawyers, is the heart of so-called health care reform. The quality and availability of care is less important than control and political payback.

Town Halls Turn Ugly For Members of Congress; Get Ready For the Recess Rally!


This should put Big Media into a tizzy. On August 22, Patriots across the country will rally outside the district offices of every member of Congress. The Recess Rally is another chance for Real America to stand up to the imperial federal government and say "NO!" Big Media hates Real America and you can bet they will run every possible negative story about the opposition to nationalized health care.


Various members of Congress have already gotten smacked around by their constituents in their own townhall meetings. Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett referred to angry protesters as a "mob." This arrogant clown seems to believe that no one should object to the federal government usurping power from individuals. The Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Socialist-Democrats employ their own version of Newspeak. Despite the protests, Doggett said, "I am more committed than ever to win approval of legislation to offer more individual choice to access affordable health care." Choice? This bill accomplishes the opposite of "individual choice." It is designed to take away all choice and turn them over to the government. Look, I don't know if Doggett is a liar or an idiot or both, but he and his gang of thieves in the House are looking to subjugate the American people.

Other Congressmen who have heard the will of the people include Russ Carnahan, Keith Ellison, Claire McCaskill, Kathleen Sebelius and Arlen Specter. The videos of these outbursts of patriotic citizenship should steel us all in our resolve to fight to maintain a free health care industry.
Big Media is apoplectic that Real America actually has the temerity to challenge their status as subjects of the United Socialist States of America. They are shocked at the tone and animosity. Get used to it! The U.S. Constitution is a very simple and clear document. This nation was built by hard-working individuals who wanted nothing from the government except protection from foreign invasion. Across America, over 80% of people are happy with their own healthcare and their own insurance. But, they are being told that they must sacrifice their personal security so that the government can control everyone's life.

The government should fear the people, not the other way around. The government works for us, not the other way around. They have limited powers, not limitless powers. When these jackholes exceed their charge and attempt to enslave the incomes and well-being of the citizens, they should fear the outcome. None of these people have a right to their seat in Congress. If they continue to ignore the Constitution and rule at their personal whim, it is the DUTY of the people to throw their sorry carcasses out on the street. Right now, Real America is striking back on issues like cap-and-tax, nationalized health care and judges who believe they are independent of the Constitution. Soon, the next big fight will begin to take shape: the November 2010 mid-term elections. Be afraid Congress, be very afraid.

Cash For Clunkers Should Be The Symbol of Statist Economics

Big Media has been giddy for several days over the popularity of Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama's "Cash for Clunkers" boondoggle. In fact, it has been such a "success" that it blew through $1 billion like Amy Winehouse through a hotel liquor cabinet. It doesn't exactly take the ghost of Billy Mays to convince folks to take a fistful of free money and run with it. Of course, ecstatic with ""success" and void of responsibility, Congress wants to plunk down another $2 billion to buy junk cars. Now, that these jackholes are comfortable discussing spending you and your children's wealth in terms of trillions, $2 billion is couch change.

Let's break down the program for what it is: Congress is stealing your future earnings, but offering you the golden opportunity to cash in an old gas guzzler for $4,500 toward a new car that likely costs $25,000-$35,000. One of the mitigating factors in the current recession is the insane debt that Americans have bought. Now, in order to "boost the economy," the government is offering folks a little up-front cash to drive themselves FURTHER into debt. Yeah, that's a winning plan.

The Kremlin on the Potomac believes that only they can stimulate the economy. Well, in a sense they are right at this point. They could cut taxes on all Americans, especially the ones specifically targeted at the job creating segments of our society. But, that might give folks the idea they can solve their own problems. This way we can keep the country in crisis, but feel sure that our imperial federal government is working on a new solution.

In a matter of a couple days, Congress is wanting to triple the spending on a program they didn't understand in the first place. Something as straightforward as giving a $4,500 voucher for a junk car has created mayhem and a tripling of the budget. Now, do you really want to put these buffoons in charge of your health care? It is often said that any government program's announced cost can be at least tripled. In the case of Medicare, I don't think there is a word to describe how far off the numbers were except "arrrrggghhhhh!!!"

Cash for Clunkers is the quintessential Beltway boondoggle. Sell a program as a "gift" to the American people (paid for out of their own pockets, of course, and adding to their personal debt). Create mounds of paperwork and bureaucratic confusion. Underestimate the cost of the program. Then demand even more money be spent on the program because it is vital to the nation's interests.

The great Ronaldus Maximus was correct about the Liberal-Leftist-Progressive-Democrat-Statist's philosophy: "If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. "

Obama Wants California To Be The Model For America; Bill Belichek Adopts Detroit Lions Defense

Every day, the same question pops into my head. Is Barry Vladimir Hussein Soetero Obama really this stupid or is he just convinced that the American sheeple are this stupid? The People's Republik of Kalifornia is hemorraghing jobs, losing population (outside of illegal immigrants), crushing its people with taxes and regulations and Obama holds the state up as the example the rest of the country should follow. Kalifornia and its incompetent governator do not have the money to run their government. Last night, they shut down discussions on an emergency plan to keep the state afloat. The Washington Examiner provides details of Kalifornia's descent into its Statist nightmare.

In the spirit of ObamAlinsky's desire to turn all of the United States into a fiscal basket case like Kalifornia, some possible inspirations from Obama's example:

  • New England Patriots coach Bill Belichek adopts the Detroit Lions' offense.
  • Coca-Cola relaunches "New Coke"
  • Mariah Carey takes singing lessons from Roseanne Barr
  • Mark Sanford hires Larry King as his marriage counselor
  • FoxNews vows to be more like MSNBC
