In Economic Woes 11-21



From the Wall Street Journal - The Coming Deficit Disaster. The president says he understands the urgency of our fiscal crisis, but his policies are the equivalent of steering the economy toward an iceberg.

Obamacare Daily Round-Up 11-21



For years, women fought like tigers to keep the government "off my body". What the hell do they think Obamacare will do if enacted but put the government all over their bodies?!? And women (being the childbearers to start) use healthcare far more than men, but it's women's healthcare that is first to be rationed (mammograms). So again I ask, what are American women thinking when they support this ghastly bill?!?

Following in Waxman's (classy) footsteps - Health Care Payola. Harry Reid is passing out goodies in hopes of garnering the 60 votes he needs.

Reid bill: 16M uninsured U.S. citizens pay a penalty tax. 8M uninsured illegal aliens do not.

Congress: Gov’t healthcare for thee but not for me

Smart, defensive thinking on the part of those 11 states. My state might be one of them, contact your state legislators and see what your state can do. Some states already poised to opt out of government-run public health plan

JUNK SCIENCE/ENVIRONMENTALISM CORRUPTION

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
The "Green Movement" is no small group of dippy-hippies anymore. Today, all the big manufacturing industries have products that are "green". Products ranging from biodegradable diapers to biodegradable caskets are available to purchase. Heck, there's a whole TV Channel dedicated to all things Green. Al Gore has made millions upon millions making all sorts of alarmist claims. The US Government is even considering laws that will self-destruct our economy and give away our sovereignty.

Now what if all that was based on lies. Lies from scientists and political activists whose agenda was political control of our freedoms rather than any profound concern for our environment. Let's face it, numerous solutions to environmental problems have been proposed by folks but if those solutions do not involve controlling populations, energy supplies, or land itself, the "greenies" weren't interested. Now that the lies may have been exposed, we have to ask ourselves, what next?

Manipulating Climate Change: Warming to RICO? If you were in a position to make money off of climate alarmism (Al Gore) and when the climate data was NOT alarming so you changed it (lying scientists) isn't that collusion under RICO?

AND (from Instapundit - progressives are so classy. Joy Behar, George Lopez Label Todd Palin a 'Bum' for Being a Stay-at-Home Dad)

Palin on Reid 'In the Midnight Hour' Unleash your minions Sarah and get them to vote the bums out!

Cowards. COWARDS!

I am trying to contact my Senators. Their regional office voicemail boxes are full and no one is answering in DC.

Cowards!

Taking this vote on a Saturday Night is cowardly. Not responding to your constitutents is cowardly. And destroying the health, well-being and economies of your state is cowardly.

Here is the email I sent my Senator. Feel free to copy and paste. Find your Senator here.

Dear Sen.,

My name is ___________ and I'm going to be very straightforward with you. If you vote yes and pass this healthcare bill, I will make it my personal mission to see you never have a political career again. I will enlist friends and neighbors to vote against you. I will donate money to your political foes. I will run a website that focuses on your every misstep. In short, I will never vote for you again but rather work tirelessly for anyone who runs against you.

Why?

Because you, sir, are threatening the health of me and my family. You are threatening the economic health of my family and my country. And you, sir, are threatening to allow the government control over my body - something women have fought against since Roe v. Wade.

Please stop and do not vote for this healthcare program. For I will keep watch and I will check the tallies and if you do do vote yes, then, sir, I will do all in my power to make sure that yes vote was you voting your career over.

Quite Sincerely,

Friday, November 20, 2009

Obama's Post Office Is Killing Christmas


Mayor of North Pole Blasts 'Grinch-Like' Postal Service for Decision to Stop Letters to Santa
The mayor of the North Pole likened the U.S. Postal Service to the grinch who stole Christmas Friday after it decided to stop a 55-year-old "letters to Santa" program.

"We are outraged that they would attack our children, attack our community in this way," Doug Isaacson, the mayor of the North Pole in Alaska, said on Fox News. "It is very grinch-like."

Isaacson is upset by the decision by the Postal Service to discontinue the program, begun in his small Alaskan town in 1954, where each year volunteers open and respond to thousands of letters addressed to "Santa Claus, North Pole."

Global Warming Hoax

Environmentalists Exposed As Liars


According to Watts Up With That website, the CRU has been hacked and what appears to be genuine documents and emails exposing the shabby treatment of science by these so-called climatologists is appalling. Emails expressing joy that a scientist who disagreed with their research has died. Documents describing how they are covering up the scientific facts they don't like because it proves them wrong.

For Shame. And typical of the movement which has a ghastly history.

At any rate, here are the links. Decide for yourself. The Climate Depot is an excellent starting point - here.
