Speaker Boehner on Offensive Against Obama in Religious Freedom Battle

Barack Obama has instigated yet another firestorm over one of his abominable policy decisions.   Obama’s latest outrageous action is the rule which the Obama Administration put forth mandating that faith-based employers  --  including Catholic charities, schools, universities, and hospitals  --  provide services such as abortion-inducing drugs which they believe are immoral.   Such a religious freedom infringement imposed by Obama upon the American people is a result of the passage of the socialized medicine scheme called ObamaCare in early 2010. 

As a result, the calls cascading into the United States Capitol switchboard are unequaled since Obama rammed that very same unconstitutional pro-abortion ObamaCare law through the United States Congress by unconstitutional means. 

Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate Fiddles While America Burns

The Democrat-controlled United States Senate under the leadership of Harry Reid, D-NV, has done virtually nothing since it began on January 5th of this year.  Indeed, the Democrat leadership in the Senate  --  and in the United States House of Representatives, during the leadership (if you can call it that) of San Francisco Democrat Nancy Pelosi when she was speaker for 4 years before the Republicans took control this past January  --  has not passed a budget as required by law for a number of years. 
 
On the other hand, the new Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed its budget, as required by law, earlier this year.  The House Republicans have also passed over 25 major bills to create jobs in America, a nation which has suffered a 9% unemployment rate, on the average, under Barack Obama since he became president almost 3 years ago.
 
Before the Republicans adjourned for Christmas in the House of Representatives last week, they passed a spending bill  --  now signed into law by Obama  --  which will fund the government until the end of the 2012 Fiscal Year on September 30th. 
 

Super Committee: Super Failure

Did anyone with commonsense really think that a rigged congressional "Super Committee"   --  formed because of the failure of the United States Congress to come up with one or two or three or four trillion dollars worth of needed cuts to the federal debt  --   would ever accomplish their goal?

Actually, the "Super Committee's" assigned task was to come up with at least $1.2 trillion worth of cuts over the next decade or there would be automatic cuts across the federal government including half coming the defense budget.  Of course, the Democrats protected Medicare and Medicaid from any cuts or reform except maybe a couple billion dollars of administrative savings or whatever.

The "Super Committee" was doomed to failure because the Democrats stacked their half of the 12-member committee with left-wing idealogues.  The Republicans put on the committee a few Republicans who in the past have shown willingness to compromise, although there were a couple very conservative members selected by the Republican leadership.

Everyone will recall all the doomsday scenarios put out by Barack Obama and his party and their friends in the news media about the pending debt ceiling crisis early this year; then the crisis was put off for a couple more months, then the crisis was put off until last summer when the debt ceiling   --  absolutely for sure this time no question about it this time  --  had to be raised or the country would go bankrupt.

Donald Trump is right: Fox News should fire Bob Beckel

Left-winger Bob Beckel  --  whose life was recently saved by his fellow "Fox Five" co-host, Eric Bolling (a Rick Perry supporter) when Beckel was choking in a Manhattan restaurant  --  should be fired as Donald Trump is urging Fox News to do.  The very day that Beckel mentioned the story of Trump urging Fox News to fire him to his fellow co-hosts, Beckel said the a-hole word.  Then to round out his day, on Sean Hannity's "Great, Great, Great American Panel," Beckel used the b.s. word.  The guy just does not know where to stop.
 
On July 21, Beckel was caught saying the "F-word" on the live "Fox Five" show.  When the next commercial was over, he offered a typical liberal weasel excuse:  "The producer tells me that I swore in the last session.  I didn't  - well sort of did."  Then on September 8th, he used the s-word blasting his conservative co-hosts because they were advocating tax cuts, "You gotta be so full of s**t."
 

Congressman Cliff Stearns holds Planned Parenthood accountable in House hearing

Planned Parenthood, the most infamous organization in American history  --  besides the Klu Klux Klan  --  is finally being held accountable for its corruption over the past several decades by a committee in the United States Congress. 
 
The heinous group  --  which has killed millions of children in its abortion mills over the past several decades since the most infamous Supreme Court decision in history, Roe v. Wade, in 1973  --  was founded by the racist and eugenist Margaret Sanger in 1921 in Brooklyn with the name American Birth Control League which became a part of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) in 1942.  In 2006, Planned Parenthood brutally killed 289,750 unborn children in their mothers' wombs.  Even as America's abortion rate is going down, Planned Parenthood performs more abortions each year. 
 
What is truly shameful is that the Republicans in Congress still have not been able to stop the flow of federal tax dollars to Planned Parenthood which has received tens of millions of dollars of hard-earned American tax dollars in recent years, including the 12 years  --  after the historic 1994 election  --  during which the Republicans controlled the United States Congress.  Indeed, they had a Republican president during six of those years.
 

"Let Reagan (Perry) be Reagan (Perry)!"

At the beginning of the presidential election year 1980, there was an outcry from Governor Ronald Reagan's supporters right after his unexpected loss in the Iowa caucuses to former CIA director George H. W. Bush, who was considered a liberal (or former one), and at that time, a pro-abortion supporter, and a privileged blue-blood Rockefeller Republican.
 
These conservative Reagan supporters were concerned that some of Reagan's top campaign people from the ranks of the Republican establishment  --  such as campaign manager John Sears  --  were cramping Reagan's style.  Because Reagan was so far ahead in the national polls, Sears decided that the campaign would conduct an "above the fray" strategy.  Sears had Reagan avoid some of the debates and straw polls in key states on the Republican primary schedule.  Thus, Governor Reagan did not have many opportunities to show his toughness and courage to Republican voters which appealed to so many California citizens.
 
Besides Bush, Reagan's other Republican opponents were Senator Robert Dole, Senate minority leader Howard Baker, former Texas governor John Connelly  --  like Rick Perry, a Texas Democrat turned Republican  --  Representative Phillip Crane, and Representative John Anderson.  However, just as in 2012, there were two major candidates, one very conservative and one mostly liberal and the minor candidates.
 

In trouble, Clinton started a war; Obama awards Medals of Honor

This former Navy enlisted man  --  before entering West Point to become an Army officer and Vietnam War veteran  --  is getting a little suspicious about non-veteran Barack Obama using Medal of Honor ceremonies around the time he is hitting record-low disapproval rating marks.  Such hugely-publicized ceremonies don't hurt as he faces his up-hill reelection battle.  Obama's Medal of Honor ceremonies remind me of the shenanigans which Bill Clinton pulled when he got into trouble, which occurred with great frequency, during his presidency.

A major motion picture came out during Bill Clinton's presidency starring big Hollywood stars Robert DiNero and Dustin Hoffman named "Wag the Dog."  Clinton had a habit of starting a little war somewhere in the world when he was in especially deep political trouble.  The worst was when Kenneth Starr, the special prosecutor, and the Republican-controlled United States House of Representatives were bearing down on him because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Just before Clinton was impeached in the House of Representatives in December 1998, he actually began another war to help prevent the imminent impeachment.  It didn't work.  The Republicans impeached him anyway and he became the first and only elected president impeached. 

Liberals celebrate "Day of Rage" tomorrow; Rest of America celebrates "Constitution Day"

It is hard to believe, but we increasingly have two separate Americas.  Many liberals have their "government knows best" and "America is bad" positions and the rest of Americans believe in America's exceptionalism. Tomorrow, many liberals will "celebrate" something socialists, communists and anarchists around the world call a "Day of Rage".  They want to fight "market dictatorship."  They want an end to capitalism and the free enterprise system in America and around the world.  In America, they will "take to the streets"  and protest at Wall Street in New York City.

On the other hand, many other Americans will be celebrating America and the United States Constitution.   Christian Coalition of America has, during the month of September, been encouraging all Americans to read the entire constitution on Constitution Day, 2011 being celebrated on Saturday, September 17.

Liberals like to forget that the Constitution of the United States is the Supreme law of the land.   On September 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers established  --  at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, presided over by George Washington   --  the Constitution as the framework for organizing the federal government.

The "Father of the Constitution," and future president, James Madison, had many great quotes about the Constitution including these:

With Huge Loss in New York Tuesday Night, Obama's Presidency is Effectively Over

The devastating news that Barack Obama and his party lost a huge special election Tuesday night  --  in the staunch Democrat congressional district of the disgraced Anthony Weiner  --  effectively ends the presidency of Obama.  Even in what is probably the most ineffective United States Senate in American history  --  controlled by Harry Reid's Democrats  --  nothing of import will be passed by that chamber.
 
Some Democrats deserted Democrat candidate David Weprin before the election such as former New York City mayor Ed Koch.  He endorsed last night's Republican winner, businessman Bob Turner, last week. Within the next few months, the desertions by members of Obama's own party for his agenda are expected to dramatically increase.  Obama's agenda is effectively dead on arrival in the United States House of Representatives with the exception of tax cuts.
 
Democratic pollster and Fox News commentator Doug Schoen told NewsMax.com that the Republican win in the heart of Democratic liberalism represents a "stunning rebuke" to President Obama and his policies.  Schoen said, "It will be at the very least a wake-up call that every Democrat is potentially at risk."
 

The American people are watching you, Chairman Bernanke

The left-wing establishment in the Democrat Party and their sycophants in the mainstream news media have delighted in attacking the new front-runner in the Republican presidential candidate field, Texas Governor Rick Perry.  Their crocodile tears over his statement last Sunday in New Hampshire that the easy money policies of the small majority of the Federal Reserve Board members  --  most especially Chairman Ben Bernanke  --  are "almost treasonous," are evident to the American people.  Perry's statement is not much worse than Barack Obama inflating the number of states to 57.
 
The benefit to the American people over this Perry "controversary" is that it has educated the American people even more about the disastrous inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve Board.  It is no wonder that the Tea Party has been delighted in Governor Perry's statements about Chairman Bernanke and the Federal Reserve Board.  Tea Party supporters are much more educated about Bernanke's loose monetary policies than the news media gives them credit for; and many of the rest of the American public are catching up to them.
