Dismantlin​g Obamacare

Today we have a very important message from Congressman Patrick McHenry with the House Conservatives Fund.

Dear Conservatives of America,


While the rest of the world has been focused on the new iPad this week, conservative Republicans in the House have been focused on IPAB. IPAB -- the Independent Payment Advisory Board -- is the panel of un-elected bureaucrats who will be making decisions about your health under Obamacare.

This week, we scored a major victory in our ultimate goal of full repeal of Obamacare, as two key House Committees under pressure from conservatives in the House voted to repeal IPAB altogether.

IPAB is one of the worst parts (of many) that make up Obamacare. As one expert recently warned before the House Ways and Means Committee, IPAB “absolutely will” lead to rationing health care.

For a more thorough look at how IPAB would ration care under the guise of “cost containment” read this Forbes Op/Ed: “President Obama’s Dangerous New Medical Board”
President Obama is doubling down on one of the most dangerous provisions in his 2010 health overhaul law. In his proposed budget, he plans to give even greater powers to the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), a panel created by the new health law to contain Medicare spending.

The IPAB is one of the most egregious parts of ObamaCare because it puts rationing of care on auto pilot. A House subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA), is expected to vote today on a bill that would repeal the IPAB entirely. The Ways and Means Committee also will vote, and then it will go to the full House of Representatives for a vote, likely next month. After that, the legislation faces an uncertain fate in the Senate, where Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) just introduced an IPAB repeal bill.

Click here to continue reading on Forbes. It is a very informative article.

Whether it’s outright repeal or dismantling Obamacare until it collapses under its own weight, conservatives in the House are 100% committed to ending this disaster. The House Conservatives Fund will only endorse candidates that are also committed to ending Obamacare.

Please take a minute to share the good news about IPAB repeal with your friends on Facebook.

Thanks for your support.

Sincerely,

Congressman Patrick McHenry

MORT’s Meanderings

Hello, Tea Party:

It has been my observation that very few of the folks I’ve met ‘On the Corner’ with the Ft. Lauderdale TeaParty or at other gatherings of TeaParty folks, are political junkies.

For the most part, they are just plain patriotic American citizens who began to feel uneasy with the policies and direction of Obama & Co. and finally arrived at a point when they realized that our beloved nation and the traditional freedoms we’ve enjoyed since the founding of this country, were being stolen from us. Stolen by our very own elected administration and by our Government, at all levels. These citizens became ‘itchy’, looked around and found that they were not itching alone. They discovered their closest Tea Party group, became active – and began to open their eyes and ears to some of the painful facts of political life. They came alive; they became involved.

Fast forward to the 2010 election and the stunning achievement of Conservatism taking over the U.S. House of Representatives and replacing some Democrats with of all things - Republicans. We were all flushed with this signal victory over one half the Legislative Branch. Score a big one for the Tea Party. And so many folks, having sent their candidate to Wash, DC, curtailed their activism or slowed their involvement. They sat back to await their victory to bear fruit.

Fast forward again, to the results of several controversial bills voted-on in the House by recently-elected ‘Tea Party’ freshmen. Supporters began to question the votes cast by ‘our’ Reps in Congress. Their votes differed from the gut feelings and unyielding positions of many of the Tea Partiers who voted them into office. Some expressed dismay and wondered aloud, “What the hell is going on, here?”

What was and is going on here, is that the Tea Party freshman are feeling the pressure from the ‘old boy network’ and the boiling cauldron that is, Washington politics. While it is perfectly true that we have every right to expect that each and every one of them will locate his or her backbone and core principles - and act accordingly, it up to each and every one of us as their constituents, to demonstrate to them our faith and support. It is up to us to back them up and to contact them directly to let them know in clear, concise, straight-forward language without rancor, that we are seriously interested in what they are doing. It is called, ‘interaction’. We have that obligation as voting citizens.

We are not privy to all the information they receive, either public or classified. We are not always aware of the pressures they are confronted with on a daily basis. We have no clue as to what other influences might be pressing them. They need to know that we are right behind them. Still, the same Team that voting them into office to represent us. We cannot expect them to perform with honor as our representatives, unless we stay in close touch with them and keep them aware of how we are feeling about the issues they are dealing with. And, we must let them know clearly, what we expect of them. We might not always see them vote as we would like but, there can be no space between we who elected them and those whom we’ve sent to Washington. We owe them that. We owe that to our nation. We owe that to ourselves.

So, I say to my Tea Party brothers and sisters: Stay involved. Stay with our Tea Party ‘freshmen’ and do what it takes to make those men and women, our Tea Party ‘sophomores’.

Steady. Steady.

Pelosi Democrats and Crony Socialism

Once again our Friends from Chuck On The Right Side responds to the Lunatic Fringe also known as the Main Stream Media. These Florida Main Stream Media types just carry water for the Hypocrites like Nazi Pelosi and cower in the corner when Barrack Hussein Obama enters the State.


Dear Professor Watson:

Cheap shot columnist, Professor Robert Watson, you are at it again. Your topic was "tax rebellion", but you had to inject your partisan political bias into your screed by claiming that Republicans are self-proclaimed "patriots" (is that cynicism, or what?) who don't want to close loopholes for millionaires and billionaires. In addition, as a pinnacle of "objective" historical thought, you had to take a few shots at the Republican candidates by not agreeing with you and your fellow lefty liberal Democrats regarding ObamaCare, immigration, or rebuilding infrastructure. What has that got to do with "tax rebellion"?

You ask what is happening that Republicans are anti-tax and anti-government, as opposed, I presume, to the Democrat mantra of tax increases, during a recession, and borrowing more money, which we can't afford, for their "crony Socialism"?

Professor Watson, why don't you go to the library to brush up on your partisan historical ignorance. It is pervasive throughout all your writings.

Sincerely,

Chuck On The Right Side

WHAT'S AN INFIDEL?

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.

The man who walks with God always
gets to his destination. If you have a
pulse you have a purpose.

The Muslim religion is the fastest
growing religion per capita in the
United States, especially in the
minority races!

Last month I attended my annual
training session that's required for
maintaining my state prison
security clearance.

During the training session there was a
presentation by three speakers
representing the Roman Catholic,
Protestant and Muslim faiths,
who each explained their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in
what the Islamic had to say.

The Muslim gave a great presentation
of the basics of Islam, complete
with a video.

After the presentations, time was
provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed
my question to the Muslim and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong,
but I understand that most Imams and
clerics of Islam have declared
a holy jihad [Holy war] against the
infidels of the world and, that by
killing an infidel,
(which is a command to all Muslims)
they are assured of a place in heaven.
If that's the case, can you give me
the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my
statements and, without hesitation,
he replied, 'Non-believers!'
I responded, 'So, let me make sure
I have this straight. All followers of
Allah have been commanded to kill
everyone who is not of your faith so
they can have a place in heaven.
Is that correct?'

The expression on his face
changed from one of authority
and command to that of a
little boy who had just been
caught with his hand
in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have
a real problem trying to
imagine The Pope commanding
all Catholics to kill those of
your faith or Dr.Stanley ordering
all Protestants to do the same
in order to guarantee them
a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have a
problem with being your friend
when you and your brother clerics
are telling your followers to
kill me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah,
who tells you to kill me in
order for you to go to heaven,
or my Jesus who tells me to
love you because I am going
to heaven and He wants you
to be there with me?'


You could have heard a pin
drop as the Imam hung his
head in shame.


Needless to say, the organizers
and/or promoters of the
'Diversification' training seminar
were not happy with my way
of dealing with the Islamic Imam,
and exposing the truth
about the Muslims' beliefs.


In twenty years there will be
enough Muslim voters in the
U.S. to elect the President!


I think everyone in the U.S.
should be required to read this,
but with the ACLU, there is no
way this will be widely
publicized, unless each of us
sends it on! This is your chance
to make a difference....

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, Please pass this on!

Obama Votes Against Born Alive Babies

B. Hussein Obama, the "Smartest President Ever???" votes Against Born Alive Babies! The brave Jill Stanek tells the truth, something the regime is not familiar with. This isn't just about abortions. No, this is about babies who are aborted and survive but are left to die in a utility room because Obama doesn't feel that they should be saved. He has refused to sign a bill to help protect these children. Yet, the MSM Frauds and Celebs and self-loathing White People still support Barry.

Top Obama health aide cashes out after health ‘reform’

An Obama appointee who played a central role in crafting the 2010 health care bill has cashed out to a well-connected lobbying firm, where her first clients are two of the bill’s beneficiaries: abortion provider Planned Parenthood and a hospital chain.

Liz Engel was deputy assistant secretary for legislation at the Department of Health and Human Services. Today she is a managing director at the Glover Park Group in the health and wellness practice. Her story further highlights the coziness of this administration with the abortion industry, and also undermines President Obama’s portrayal of the health care bill as a broadside against special interests.

Most importantly, Engel’s spin through the revolving door shows the emptiness of the new ethics rules that the White House brags about at every opportunity.

According to her bio on the Glover Park Group website, her job there was “conducting outreach on behalf of the health care policy working group to trade associations, businesses, unions and advocacy organizations.” In other words, she helped persuade industries to support Obama’s plan. In the end, the drug lobby, the doctor lobby, and the hospital lobby all backed the bill — and, of course, so did Planned Parenthood.

Big government greases the revolving door. Had Congress passed a reform reducing the role of government in health care, companies would have less need for the consulting and lobbying work of folks like Engel, Daschle, Myers and the others who shaped the legislation.

Our Hero

Alas! Nearly three years have passed and finally I can say,
the President did something right.

His poll numbers have gone up, not because of anything he
personally devised. The policies of the previous administration
is propping him up, even though he vehemently denounced them.
The tedious and painstaking work of the intelligence agencies
during Bush's tenure started four years ago, slowly began to take
form and bear fruit. In spite of the criticism and denouncing the
existence of Guantanamo and the methods used to interrogate by
the main stream media and pre-president campaigning Obama, it
works! In fact everything President Bush did they said was wrong
is now being adopted by Obama because the view from the Oval
office induces a different slant in dealing with Islamo-Fascist terror
from election mode.

Someway or another the media and White House spinners will make
it appear it is Barack Obama's genius that created and formed the
whole thing.

The praise I cede to President Obama is for not screwing it up as
Jimmy Carter did during the embassy caper in Iran.

Wilted Flower Children Support the Marxist Regime

Another hammer back at the Marxist MSM. After Barry Soetoro continues to destroy our relationships with the few Allies we have left, the Marxist MSM and Left Wing Nazis still rally behind the Messiah.

To Stephen L. Goldstein;

I'm glad you listed all the things you would miss if the world came to and end tomorrow and what you are in favor of, because now I know what I should be against. You are a barometer of what sensible people should believe, which is the polar opposite of what you believe in. Stephen, you don't have to worry about the end of the world because you are out of this world.

I wish I had a lower I.Q. so I could debate with you as I try not have verbal combat with somebody who is unarmed. I gather you are one of the "wilted flower children" of the 60's and 70's with some impressive college degrees, but you are missing the most important one of all - common sense. That reminds me of someone else who holds a very high prestigious office in our country - your buddy Barack Hussein Obama. He too is book smart but definitely street dumb.

Enough of giving you praise as it might just go to your head. Till your next column.

From Chuck On The Right Side

Marxist Left Wing Loons Run The Media

Dear Stephen L. Goldstein:

As a "wilted flower child" of the 60's, Stephen L. Goldstein is offended that one of his cohorts, Nicole Sandler, a liberal bombthrower, was arrested for disturbing the peace at a West town hall meeting and wants Rep. Allen West to apologize. Can you imagine Goldstein telling Rep. West to "man up", that's what you call chutzpuh coming from a "wuss" like Goldstein. I don't think Goldstein could shine Allen West's boots - even if West let him do it. Stephen, are you serious or are you just mouthing one of the "Rules for Radicals" by the late Saul Alinsky?

Nicole Sandler didn't come to Rep. West's town hall meeting to be enlightened, she came loaded for "bear" and to disrupt the meeting, thereby bringing attention to her failing talk show career. She accomplished the fact that she got publicity, but she failed in getting support for her goofy left-wing views. Whenever Goldstein comes to the defense of a liberal "loon" like Sandler, you know that the Obamamaniacs are in panic mode.

I've been to West's town hall meetings and he let's anyone ask a question or to make a statement. On this occasion, trying to not have constituents line up behind a microphone, thereby blocking the view of the other attendees, he had them write down the questions. She didn't do it, she just wanted to disrupt, which she did and got arrested for it.

The arrest was done by the police and not Rep. Allen West. Why should he apologize?

Stephen, crawl back under your liberal rock and don't come out until the Sun-Sentinel wants to publish another asinine column by you spouting off the DNC talking points and calling Republicans and conservatives "evil"..

Sincerely,

Chuck On The Right Side

Dhimmitude and Fire Barry

*Has anyone heard of this word? Dhimmitude? *

CHECK it on ‘ WIKIPEDIA’. DEFINITELY UNBELIEVABLE .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhimmitude


*I had my doubts so I checked with Snopes. There is an exemption
for “certain religious groups” in the Health Care Bill. Obama
supporters especially, check it out for yourselves. Barry Soetoro
is always out to hurt America!*

*Never heard the word before?—Try typing it into Google and start
reading. Pretty interesting.
*

*It seems that Muslims and certain other religions are exempt from the
ObamaCare penalties, and their exemptions are_supported by law_. We
are surrendering from within! The TOTUS (Teleprompter of The United States)
is leading us right down the path to total Muslim control and most of us
don’t give a rat’s patootie! Maybe we voted for him in good faith, but now
yet another “truth” comes out. Perhaps we should rethink what we have done. *

*Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations
conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims
in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of
converting conquered remnants to Islam. *

*The ObamaCare bill is the first step in the establishment of Dhimmitude
and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States . Muslims may be not only
specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase health
insurance, but exempted also from the penalty tax for being uninsured.
Seems that Islam considers insurance to be “gambling”, “risk-taking” and
“usury” and thus is to be banned. Muslims may be specifically granted an
exemption based on this.
*

*How convenient. So John and Jane Smith, as Christians, Jews, Buddhists
or whatever, may have crippling IRS liens placed against all of our
assets, including real estate, cattle, cars, etc., and even accounts
receivables, and could also face hard prison time if we refuse to buy
health insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will
have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by
the de facto government insurance at our expense. Non-Muslims will be
paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. Period. This is Dhimmitude. *

*Dhimmitude serves two purposes: it enriches the Muslim masters AND over
the long haul serves to drive conversions to Islam. In this case, the
incentive to convert to Islam will be taken up by those minorities in
the inner-cities as well as the godless Generation X, Y and Z types who
have no moral anchor or belief in God! If you don’t believe in Christ to
begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to again sell Him for 30 pieces
of silver. “Sure, I’ll be a Muslim if it means free health insurance and
no taxes. Where do I sign, brother?”
*

*I recommend sending this email to all of your contacts who may actually
give a damn about where there this country is heading. This is
desperately important and people need to know about it and what the past
election has done to all of us!

P.S. Have you heard about the summit Obama is holding this month in DC
for the future Muslim business leaders in the US ? He wants to increase
the ability to begin business opportunities in the US for the Muslim
community! Better start looking for a country that doesn’t cater to the
Muslims such as Australia , because this country will be overrun by
Muslims like Europe is currently experiencing. And you thought our
problem was the Mexicans!……

‘J Street’ Rabbis Keeping Congregations Barefoot and Pregnant

Now just a minute - hold on there, Sir. What kind of provocative headline is that? Are you insinuating that the more moderate, middle-of-the-road, albeit somewhat left-leaning Liberal Rabbis that hold sway over their well-to-do congregations in Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Boca Raton are literally keeping their flocks of sheeple barefoot and pregnant? I can’t believe you mean that. I ask you point-blank Sir, precisely what do you mean by that?

Well, dear reader, if you really want to know and if you’ll actually listen, I’ll explain. First, the ‘barefoot and pregnant’ reference is of course, purposefully calculated to get your attention, incite and irritate you. I gather that it worked. It is also meant to draw attention to direct parallels in actions taken by a number of European Rabbis in the 1930’s and more than a few Rabbis here in our country, today. In Germany, Austria and Poland leading up to WWII, many rabbis kept shushing members of their congregations and admonishing them not to become too vocal in opposition to the anti-Semitism and increasing violence by the ascendancy of Hitler and the Nazis.

And today, right in our own backyard, Jewish spiritual leaders such as Rabbi Dan Levin of Temple Beth El in Boca Raton, Rabbi David Baum of Cong. Shaarei Kodesh in Boca Raton and Rabbi Anthony Fratello of Temple Shaarei Shalom in Boynton Beach are once again, advocating peace, patience and tolerance in the face of very real, imminent threats to the security and actual survival of the nations of Israel and the United States. We’ve cited these three Rabbis because as leaders of local Jewish congregations, they were among the 269 rabbis who signed a full-page ad that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on January 27, 2011 and in other selected newspapers across the nation. This ad purported to justify the fallacious notion that adherents to J Street’s philosophical position are wholeheartedly supporting the threatened State of Israel. Wrong. In actuality, the J Street crowd is unquestionably, pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel. Their claims to the contrary are as hollow and hypocritical as they can be.

These full-page ads weren’t cheap; just to run them cost several thousand dollars each. We were curious to know who actually paid for them. ‘Jewish Funds for Justice’ sponsored these all-revealing blockbuster ads. So, what is this group, what does it stand for and who is behind the curtain? One guess – right! Good old, kindly, benevolent gazillionaire, George Soros. ‘Jewish Funds..’ is but one of many George Soros-financed shadow organizations designed to destroy the traditional liberty and freedoms enjoyed in America, as guaranteed by The Constitution of the United States. Why would anyone want to do that? Soros hates The Constitution and the free-market system and is spending unlimited millions to destroy our economy and national security for his own demonic purposes. Are you slightly curious about who this bird really is? Briefly, he is an internationally infamous ‘fallen’ Jew, who has admitted publicly that he collaborated with the Nazis during World War II. I suggest that you check out George Soros on the internet and learn for yourself, about this devil incarnate. If you hadn’t been so propagandized against Glenn Beck and if you had watched his programs on FOX over the past year or two, you would know all this.

I understand however, that it takes some folks a bit longer to arrive at their own ‘Come-to-Jesus’ moment – especially if they are Liberal Jews living in South East Florida. How do I know this? Because, I am a ‘Come-to-Conservatism’ Jew, now living in South East Florida, who had to overcome the example set by my parents, both of whom lived through the Great Depression years and of course, helped to vote Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt into the Presidency, for four consecutive terms.

Now, let me address my aforementioned Jewish neighbors in the Boynton, Delray and Boca region. To those good and decent Jews who make the effort to ‘educate themselves and stay informed by sitting in front of their wall-mounted, high-def plasma screens watching CNN and MSNBC - - to those with or without Lasik-corrected vision who faithfully read the South Palm Beach Jewish Journal and believe everything they read - - to those from Jews who attend Temple and are lulled into a stupor while listening to ‘peace & love’ sermons from their Rabbis - who constantly admonish them, ‘not to make waves’ - - I offer the following facts for your enlightenment:

J Street is the Pied Piper and you dear neighbors, are the clueless, blind followers who have found a comfy home in the crowd of deviant, anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, radical Jews. Yes, I said, ‘radical’. How can you be radical you ask, when you feel so benign? Think about it. Are you truly for Israel’s survival or are you into playing word games without getting involved?

Quite obviously, you are still following the lead of the most notorious among the ‘Jews Gone Wild’, the great goniff himself, Robert Wexler. Our boy Wexie, was able to cast a spell over the ‘smartest of the smart’ in Florida’s District 19 for some thirteen years, and convince them that they did indeed, have representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Your might recall that the handsome Clinton-toady Wexler’ the quintessential ultra-Liberal Democrat, suddenly and unexpectedly resigned as our Representative in order to avoid the impending result of an FBI investigation into his illegal financial shenanigans.

Accompanying that announcement, Wexie the Pure, announced that he had ‘accepted’ a post with ‘the Center for Middle East Peace’. This organization is J Street, in drag. Wexler is betting all he has, except his pristine reputation (thought you could use a laugh right about now), that the Palestinians will be shoe-horned into Statehood by this and other groups who believe that the Obama administration and the Arab supporting nations in the UN can thusly, bring about the eventual destruction of Israel.

Adding to the pressures being put upon Israel, are the terribly disheartening and most disturbing, unambiguous threats and harsh ultimatums that have been issued by this President, directly from the Oval Office - and echoed so slavishly by highly-placed members of this administration. Our Lord, Master & Savior, and his enablers who speak so loudly to the contrary, are actually engaged in a full-court-press attack on Israel’s right to defend herself against the bloodthirsty, hated-filled forces that surround her. And, they unashamedly invoke the mantle of those anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli, anti-American member nations of the corrupt UN, to justify the blatantly out-in-the-open frontal attack by the fanatic followers of Islam – operating both in the Middle East and now, from within our very own borders.

I make no distinction between so-called ‘radical Islam’ and Islam because in actuality, no rational distinction can be made. Islam is not a religion anymore than the Democrat Party is a religion. They are both out-&-out, single-purpose political machines with their leaders marching in lock-step toward one common objective – that being, to completely dominate and totally control as much of the spineless Westernized civilization on this planet, as possible. However, in the case of Islam, they fully expect that sooner or later they will dominate the world. When these people speak, we’d be well advised to pay attention and listen.

Evangelical Christians in this country are leading from the front, in the effort to protect and preserve the State of Israel from the legion of Jew & Israel haters. Bless them for that. Sad to say, there are far too many Jews in the United States who are still ‘waiting to be convinced’ that there is a problem. How weird is that?

There you have it – a piece of my mind. Care to refute any of the above? I invite you to make your case by presenting facts and examples. And please, if you do have some facts to present, make an effort to avoid the usual Democratic raging rhetoric and the boorish Obama-speak talking points.

And also, if you know the answer and have the time, pray tell me - - “Why can’t we all just get along?”

Planned Parenthoood and Pimps Prosper

The Community Organizer pushes so hard so Planned Parenthood and Pimps can get Tax Payer money. Yes this Barry Soetoro is always thinking about Children. He thinks about screwing them in all types of ways, especially Financially.

Planned Parenthoood “in bed” with Sex Traffickers

“Absurd,” is how 23-year-old Lila Rose, president of Live Action, a new media group devoted to investigating and educating about the abortion industry, describes the group’s latest expose.

A pimp and a prostitute walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic.

And they’re told: “We want as little information as possible.”

When Lila Rose and her Live Action team came up with their latest undercover scenario, they came up with an admittedly “obvious and bold one.” She explains: “We tried to make it easy for Planned Parenthood to do the right thing.”

And so the actor playing the pimp literally walks into a New Jersey Planned Parenthood clinic announcing he is involved in sex work and that some of the girls are underage.

The clinic office manager clearly gets the picture. Not that she’s being set up. But that he needs her help to keep operating. And she’s willing to help. He says he has a sexually transmitted disease and is worried one of the girls working for him may have given it to him. But he also has other service inquiries to inquire about.

Defund NPR and PBS, UNIONS and ACORN

Below we have a message from one of the few REAL Conservative Politicians. Senator Jim DeMint is the real deal and would be a gigantic improvement over our TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States). How refreshing it is to hear an American Politician who loves this Country. He does not go apologize for us or install programs that will weaken the Country. As the Liberal MSM continues to attack America we must defund every darn Liberal spending bill! This means we must defund obamacare, NPR, ACORN, PBS and the Purple Shirts (UNIONS).



Dear Fellow Conservative:


I wanted to let you know about an important piece of legislation that I'm pushing to defund public broadcasting.

When it comes to federal funding of public broadcasting, there are two issues at stake: we don't have the money, and they don't need it. We're going broke and they're raising millions from private donors.

If NPR and PBS want to continue their programming, they should go ahead and do it, but not with our tax dollars.

Paying millions of dollars so NPR can cover things like cowboy poetry festivals while the nation is $14 trillion in debt is reckless. Yet, funding public broadcasting and cowboy poetry festivals is a priority for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Senate's most powerful Democrat. He was on the floor yesterday saying it was "mean spirited" to cut funding for these items.

That's right. While conservatives are fighting to save the country from bankruptcy, Democrats are fighting to save cowboy poetry.

We must have the courage to cut spending.

Americans should not be forced to fund public broadcasting when there are already thousands of private choices for educational and entertainment programming on television, radio, and the Internet.


Please Click Here to Urge Your Senators to Defund Public Broadcasting


The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which funds NPR and PBS, was originally incorporated as a private, non-profit corporation in 1967, and its first taxpayer subsidy was $5 million. Last year CPB got $420 million from taxpayers and President Obama recently asked for an increase to $451 million.

This is money that should be used to reduce our nation's debt. Instead it's being used to pick winners and losers in a highly competitive media environment. It's also being used to pay lavish salaries.

According to 2009 tax forms, PBS President Paula Kerger received $632,233 in compensation that year while NPR President Emeritus, Kevin Klose, received more than $1.2 million in compensation.

NPR boasts that it only gets 2 percent of its funding from taxpayers and PBS gets about 15 percent, so these programs should be able to find a way to stand on their own.

A new undercover video of outgoing NPR Foundation president, Ron Schiller, surfaced yesterday that has it on the ropes. Besides calling the members of the Tea Party Movement "uneducated" and "racist", he also admitted that NPR did not need taxpayer money.

Let's take his advice and pass legislation to defund this biased news organization that is clearly out of touch with the American people. Please contact your senators today and urge them to get government out of broadcasting.

Thank you for working so hard to help us take our country back.

Respectfully,

Jim DeMint
United States Senator
Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund

Jewish Sam Miller on Catholics

Sam Miller on Catholics... An excellent rebuttal by a non-Catholic...

Excerpts of an article written by Sam Miller, prominent Cleveland Jewish businessman-- who is NOT a Catholic.

Why would newspapers carry on a vendetta on one of the most important institutions that we have today in the United States, namely the Catholic Church?

Do you know--the Catholic Church educates 2.6 million students everyday at the cost to that Church of 10 billion dollars, and a savings on the other hand to the American taxpayer of 18 billion dollars. The graduates go on to graduate studies at the rate of 92%.

The Church has 230 colleges and universities in the U.S. with an enrollment of 700,000 students.

The Catholic Church has a non-profit hospital system of 637 hospitals, which account for hospital treatment of 1 out of every 5 people--not just Catholics--in the United States today.

But the press is vindictive and trying to totally denigrate in every way the Catholic Church in this country. They have blamed the disease of pedophilia on the Catholic Church, which is as irresponsible as blaming adultery on the institution of marriage.

Let me give you some figures that Catholics should know and remember. For example, 12% of the 300 Protestant clergy surveyed admitted to sexual intercourse with a parishioner; 38% acknowledged other inappropriate sexual contact in a study by the United Methodist Church, 41.8% of clergy women reported unwanted sexual behavior; 17% of laywomen have been sexually harassed.

Meanwhile, 1.7% of the Catholic clergy has been found guilty of pedophilia. 10% of the Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia. This is not a Catholic Problem.

A study of American priests showed that most are happy in the priesthood and find it even better than they had expected, and that most, if given the choice, would choose to be priests again i face of all this obnoxious PR the church has been receiving.

The Catholic Church is bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. The agony that Catholics have felt and suffered is not necessarily the fault of the Church. You have been hurt by a small number of wayward priests that have probably been weeded out by now.

Walk with your shoulders high and you head higher. Be a proud member of the most important non-governmental agency in the United States. Then remember what Jeremiah said: 'Stand by the roads, and look and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it, and find rest for your souls'. Be proud to speak up for your faith with pride and reverence and learn what your Church does for all other religions.

Be proud if you're a Catholic.

The Left's war on America

The Left Wing Radicals (Democrats) are going to extreme measures to trounce our Constitution. The new Left Wing Leader with many similarities to the infamous Nazi Leader is pushing to take your freedom. Act now or else?
A terrific article below is by Ann Kane.

The leftist progressives continue to plot their strategies in a perpetual war of their own making. They are on stage mocking America because of the health care takeover, while they have financial institution reform and amnesty for illegal aliens waiting in the wings. News headlines and conservative pundits tell us the leftists drew a line in the sand when their puppet congressional representatives voted for health care reform. They have declared war on the American people. How will we respond?

Winston Churchill wrote about the reality of fighting for a just cause.

"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case.You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish, than to live as slaves."

Obama removed a bust of Churchill from the White House upon his arrival last year, and sent it back to England whence it came. Very chilling.

In our arsenal, we have many ways of counterattacking the left. States are throwing lawsuits at Obamacare; Republicans in congress are using every means possible to repeal the legislation; and private conservative citizens are working doggedly to put like minded candidates into office in the fall.

However, conservatives should not delude themselves into thinking that these responses alone will win this political war. According to David Horowitz in his booklet The Art of Political War for Tea Parties, we have to know our enemy because "defining the opposition is the decisive move in all political war." We must understand how the America haters do battle.

Just listen to what progressives/tyrants say. Remember, what they accuse conservatives of being, such as an angry mob, is who they are in reality. Since they are so radical, and hateful of the good in society, they have to project their ill will onto others. Hitler exemplified Freudian projection theory. In speaking to the Reichstag in Berlin in 1942 about his disdain for Churchill, Hitler in fact described himself.

"He is the most bloodthirsty or amateurish strategist in history...For over 5 years this man has been chasing around Europe like a madman in search of something that he could set on fire. The gift Mr. Churchill possesses, is the gift to lie with a pious expression on his face and to distort the truth...His abnormal state of mind can only be explained as symptomatic of a paralytic disease or of a drunkard's ravings."

We cannot wait until November, we cannot wait for the courts to take action, and we cannot wait for others to do the right thing. We must do the right thing now. We must know we are at war, and be willing to sacrifice ourselves for the good of our country.

Boxer and Rice

I scanned the print media and surfed the broadcast networks, finding a lack or hardly any mention of the outrageously rude and disrespectful ranting and questioning by Senator Pit Bull -- I mean Sen. Boxer (I know it was some kind of dog) directed toward Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during Senate committee hearings.

By her accusations against Secretary Rice, the senator shows she is too family oriented to make objective, non-personal evaluations and decisions affecting the nation as a whole.

This obnoxious New York transplant senator from California doesn't and never will possess the class, dignity, elegance, talent and intelligence of Dr. Rice and she is too crude to know when an apology is in order.
