Healthcare Reform Continues to Take Its Toll on the Democrats

The Democrats were hit with yet another round of casualites today when Senator Dodd(pictured above), the head of the Senate Banking Committee, announced his retirement. Another Democrat senator and a state governor announced their retirement earlier this week. Both Dodd, and Senator Byron Dorgan(the other Senate retiree) would've faced difficult campaigns had they sought re-election. Healthcare reform is continuing to take its toll on the Democrats. If this keeps up(and all indications say it will), the Democrat party will be the one needing healthcare, not the American people.

Some more good news heading into 2010. :)

Urgent Rally Outside Mary Landrieu's Office Tomorrow.

This is a repost of an email Gene Mills with Louisiana Family Forum sent out earlier today. Check it out, and be there if you can! It only takes one vote to stop this. Let's put all the pressure we can bring to bear to convince Senator Landrieu to stop supporting Obamacare:

Tomorrow, we will physically deliver one last letter to Senator Mary Landrieu asking her to reconsider her support for President Obama's health care plan that will force every American to buy government approved health care insurance which will fund abortion.

Only one vote is needed to STOP this so-called health care plan that will raise the cost of health care for families by as much as 106 percent, raise taxes and push millions of Americans who are presently insured at their place of employment into the government health care exchange.

Louisiana opposes this government takeover, and the polls agree!

Thousands of citizens have tried unsuccessfully to reach Senator Landrieu by phone. We must be heard! Join me and hundreds of other citizens in sending a message loud and clear, Tuesday at noon in front of Mary Landrieu's office in downtown Baton Rouge on the corner of North 7th Street and Florida Street, across from the Old Post Office.

Bring your signs and help send a clear message to Senator Landrieu that we want her to stop this terrible health care bill that will force every American to support Planned Parenthood in the killing of unborn children with their tax dollars, saddle families with higher insurance premiums, raise our taxes and deny our parents and grandparents the essential health care they need.

When: Tuesday, 12:00 noon

Where: Florida Street and North 7th Street, across from the Main Post Office downtown

What: A Call to Senator Mary Landrieu to NOT become the 60th vote for the government takeover of our health care.

Sincerely,

Gene Mills

I Haven't Decided What To Call These Yet so Shut Up. ;)

This will basically be sorta like a "this month in review" column. This is my first one, and I would really appreciate your thoughts on it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I will comment on and share links about what's going on in current affairs. It'll be divided into sections, and titles, most of which should be pretty self evident in their meaning.

So without further ado, here's my first attempt. Hopefully its not downright dreadful.

*Fist Pump*

A few weeks ago, a group of Christian leaders including Chuck Colsen and Archibishop Donald Wuerl, called for civil disobedience if the government attempts to force them to accept laws regarding abortion and same sex marriage that betray their beliefs. They wrote and signed a 4,700 page document that has been called "The Manhattan Doctrine: A Call of Christian Conscience." This is encouraging in so many ways. First of all, we finally have Christians willing to take a stand against the blatant immorality that liberal politicians are attempting to legalize and incorporate into our culture. This is a really gutsy step on the part of these leaders. The other positive aspect about this is the unity that took place in the signing of this document. Evangelicals, Catholics, and Orthodox leaders joined together in this. Christians put aside their doctrinal issues for what it really important. A house divided against itself cannot stand, and that rule applies to Christians as surely as it applies to anything else.

Issue of the Month

Healthcare is crucial, and will continue to be so, but I want to focus on Afghanistan this month. Obama, after months of waffling in indecision, finally announced his decision earlier this week. Essentially, Obama sets a withdrawal date in 2011(close to an election year, by the way), but increases our military force in the country by 30,000. In his speech, he made no mention of either defeating the Taliban, or capturing Bin Laden. Instead, he said the plan is to bring this war to a "successful conclusion". One of the goals he laid out was to "reverse the Taliban's momentum". Sadly, he didn't use the word "victory" once in his speech. I personally am not sure he even knows the meaning of the word. Maybe he's right about not using the word in his speech, because I very much doubt his plan will end in any type of victory whatsoever. That is, except for the Taliban.

What the...

A woman may be charged with a "Hate Crime" for TUGGING on a Muslim woman's head covering.

This isn't happening in Sudan , this is happening in Illinois!! Its happening in the United States of America!! As shocking as this story is, should we really be that surprised? The libs are in charge. Political correctness reigns supreme. You can't do anything remotely offensive to any minority or religious group unless they're Christians. Not only that, when you add on the fact that we have a Muslim president Muslim sympathizer in the White House, it makes a little more sense.Notice that this happened in Illinois, which just happens to be the location of Obama's previously held Senate seat.

Top News Story the Media Says Isn't News

Climategate: the exposure of the fraudulent theory of man-made global warming.

This story is simply tremendous. Its no less than the expose' of the man-made global warming scam, and the main-stream media as a whole has ignored it. Instead, the AP actually started running pro-global warming propoganda news stories around the same time this broke! Thankfully, its been picked up by the conservative media outlets, and the UK Telegraph posted a number of excellent pieces on the subject.. Its not like it used to be. We now have outlets like Fox, Newsmax, the Drudge Report, talk radio, etc. that allows the truth to be heard. There's a reason so many people are turning to those sources I just mentioned for their news coverage. Below is a link to one of the pieces on Climategate, and there is another related story in the Hot Links section below.

What Can I Do?

An organization called Patients First has started a petition against Obamacare. You can sign it online! http://www.joinpatientsfirst.com/landing/?cdtrack_creative=d4c01f0b-bbb5-455d-9a45-d58e14dd874a&cdtrack_source=6766ecf9-5d7e-4988-ba24-e120e6fe0873

Happy Thanksgiving!

In the midst of eating turkey(and yes, we still eat turkey, not some vegan substitute) and watching football, don't forget what this day is really about. Its a time to thank God for all the blessings that He has provided for us. Even in tough times, we have things to be thankful for. If you disagree, take a breath. There's something to be thankful for right there!! In the midst of the constant barrage of negativity that we see from the doomsday media, don't let it take away your happiness and joy. The world around us could use some of that happiness.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Do We Have a Moral Obligation to Bankrupt America?

We can debate Obamacare until we're blue in the face, but in reality, the truth is fairly obvious.

We are currently facing the bankruptcy of Medicare and Social Security, 2 government programs that as is usual with government programs, became impossible to adequately fund. So what is the solution put forward by the liberals in Congress? Let's make a LARGER government program to fix the previous two. This is their solution to everything! More money, more taxes, and inevitably, more government control. Forget about reforming the last 2 programs, let's just throw them away and make an even bigger one! The timing of the bill is pretty idiotic as well. Our economy isn't exactly booming right now, and we are continuing to field massive deficits every year. However, that doesn't seem to stop the liberals from trying to pass a bill that will add trillions of dollars of added debt onto our already struggling economy, not to mention putting many in the medical field out of work.

Of course, liberals try to defend this by citing how we have a "moral obligation" to pay for other people's health insurance. Do we also have a moral obligation to destroy the America we know and love?? That, is what all this will lead to. If this bill passes, we will have lost a huge chunk of our freedom and individual liberty, and no amount of "free healthcare" will be able to make up for it.

God bless you and God bless America

The House of Representatives, Is It Racist?

The Politico reported yesterday that all current House Ethics investigations are being directed at African-American lawmakers, which not surprisingly has drawn the ire of the Congressional black caucus. Some of the more notable lawmakers facing ethics probes are Maxine Waters and Laura Richardson, to name a few. Currently, there are no House ethics probes being directed at white lawmakers.

For the blacks who would raise the calls of "racist" in response to this, I'd like to point out who it is who runs the House. If there is any racism here, (and I'm not convinced that there is), it's being shown by Democrats, not Republicans. After all, this is the House of Representative run by Nancy Pelosi and Stennie Hoyer. Liberals have made it their staple over the years to accuse conservatives of racism, sexism, etc. when they are doing it themselves over and over again! Remember what they did to Palin in the last election? What about the vicious attacks leveled at Justice Clarence Thomas of being a sexual predator? The number of racist and sexist remarks uttered by Democrats is simply unbelievable. Yet, you'll usually find them on their high horse accusing conservatives of those things.

As for the probes themselves, I'm honestly not sure. It could be racism, or it could just be we have a bunch of big city Democrats being nailed on ethics violations.(that in itself isn't very surprising) What do you think? Is it racism, or is it just a coincidence? Leave a comment by clicking on the box at the top right of this post.

I look forward to hearing from you.

God bless you, and God bless America.

Christians Arrested for Debating a Muslim in the UK. Is this what we want?

Conservatives, 40%, Libs, 20%. Are You Paying attention GOP??

Today, Gallup released a groundbreaking new poll that reported 40% of Americans consider themselves conservative, and 20% call themselves liberal. Moderates took the middle with 36%.

Despite this, we currently have a president with Marixist views, and a Congress run by the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. These people aren't even moderates, they're full-blown leftists!!

The reason they are in power is two-fold. We as Americans needed to do more. We needed to get out there and promote conservative values, and most importantly, we needed to vote. In many cases, that didn't happen in 2008, and we are now paying dearly for it. The good news is that in many ways we as conservatives are finally getting our act together. Through tea parties, town hall meetings, etc. we are making our voice heard.

What we now have to do is translate these ideals and values into election results. To do that, we need candidates who run their campaigns on conservative values. The Gallup poll numbers back up this premise! If the Republican party wants to regain power, it needs to realize this: A conservative GOP is what will be successful. We don't need a "hip-hop" party, as Michael Steele put it, and we surely don't need a moderate GOP.

For those who say the Republican Party should be more moderate, WHERE WERE YOU IN THE LAST ELECTION?? John McCain was the personification of the "moderate" candidate, and he got his butt kicked. Yet somehow we get these idiotic news stories about how Republicans need to appeal to the moderates and the fence sitters. That was what we did in the last election, and it didn't work!

The Republican Party leadership needs to wake up, and get in line with the American people on this. We don't want moderates, liberals, or marxists, we want conservatives!! Then, and only then, will the Republican party be doing things right.
