Senator DeMint Objects to the Appointment of the Conferees


I see these people also have an astonished look on their face as obama walks by. Notice that one guy. He is looking at obama as if he is an IDIOT. Of course obama has not noticed this. Obama acts if he doesn't notice what people do. When millions tell him not to spend money the government doesn't have or that they don't want obamacare he just walks on by as if he doesn't hear or care what anyone thinks. Of course what he thinks of himself is not reality. He, as this picture illustrates, is a baffoon on parade for all to see and make fun of. Obama does not deserve any respect because obama has not earned any respect!

The Best Christmas Present Ever: Senator DeMint Objects to the Appointment of the Conferees

The Best Christmas Present Ever: Senator DeMint Objects to the Appointment of the Conferees
...........................................................................................
Posted by Dan Perrin

When Senator DeMint engineered, and Republican Leader McConnell actually objected to the appointment of the conferees, he was really handing the ball off to the left wingers — progressives if you will — and now they have their shot to either hold their own clan members who are against the Senate compromises and force them to vote No, or have their policy demands be ignored and take the crumbs from Senator Nelson’s and Senator Lieberman’s table.

Now, because of the Senator DeMint’s objection, unless the House votes for the Senate bill unchanged — which is highly unlikely (see below) — then the Senate ObamaCare bill must be amended on the House floor to gain the votes they need to pass it on the House floor. And because of Senator DeMint’s objection to the appointment of the conferees, there will be no conference, or conference report.

If the House amends the Senate bill, they then have to send the amended bill back to the Senate — where all the 60 vote margin cloture votes still apply — cloture on the motion to proceed, and cloture to end the filibuster and cloture on any amendment.

Do I believe that this objection to the appointment of the conferees will kill ObamaCare? Yes, if the progressives or those 64 House Democrats who voted for the Stupak amendment do not roll over and play dead.

This monkey wrench may explain why the White House is putting out the word that it wants the health care bill to pass the House after the State of the Union, in February.

Sarah Palin Is Correct About Death Panels

PolitiFact's Lie of the Year: 'Death panels'

Yes PolitiFact.com did produce a "lie of the year". The lie of the year is misquoting and spinning what Sarah Palin said about "Death Panels".

Let me set the record straight. I will provide a link and references to page numbers in the house bill HR 3200.

Obama care does contain provisions for panels which are in effect death panels... Sarah Palin Is Correct Palin is correct they just are not called death panels but a government committee.

HR 3200 House Bill Obamacare

Sarah Palin:

"The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's ‘death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."

She said obama's "bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgement of their level of productivity in society". The Title IV quality: Subtitle A says the cost of proposed treatment will be divided by the remaining years of your statistical life expectancy. If your per year life cost exceeds the state mandated threshold your won't get health care. So Sara Palin was correct. Sarah Palin was totally correct. Politifact.com did produce the lie of the year not Sara Palin.


See TITLE IV–QUALITY: Subtitle A–Comparative Effectiveness Research. “Comparative Effectiveness Research” means that they will take the cost of your proposed treatment and divide that by the remaining years of your statistical life expectancy. If your per-year life cost exceeds the state-mandated threshhold, you won’t get the health care. Are you a military veteran over 59 who risked everything for your country? No heart by-pass surgery for you, you expensive old goat!

(You ask what is a "death panel". I will tell you.)

The "health care" bill provides for mandatory euthanasia counseling for senior citizens every five years AND whenever they receive a diagnosis of terminal illness (page 425, House version of the bill — H.R.3200, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009).

But we are not just talking about those very near the end of life. The specific wording in the bill is:

….if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual, including diagnosis of a chronic, progressive, life-limiting disease, a life-threatening or terminal diagnosis or life-threatening injury, or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility (as defined by the Secretary), or a hospice program.

Just a “life-limiting” disease is enough to trigger the state’s interest in you. Down’s Syndrome? Muscular dystrophy? Alzheimer’s? Senile dementia? You could be encouraged to “go home” early.

But even if you are in fairly good shape, and you are past middle age, you have cause for concern.

See TITLE IV–QUALITY: Subtitle A–Comparative Effectiveness Research. “Comparative Effectiveness Research” means that they will take the cost of your proposed treatment and divide that by the remaining years of your statistical life expectancy. If your per-year life cost exceeds the state-mandated threshhold, you won’t get the health care. Are you a military veteran over 59 who risked everything for your country? No heart by-pass surgery for you, you expensive old goat!

(I would say this is a DEATH PANEL that decides if you are WORTHY OF LIFE using an amount obama has decided it will cost the state. The older you are the less the government DEATH PANEL will pay out for your medical need. This is a fact. It is not assuming anything. I talked with IDIOTS that deny this is in the bill. They say the government would never do this. I am surrounded by a vast number of IDIOTS who deny this is in the obama bill. Story Reports)

• Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process)

• Page 42: The "Health Choices Commissioner" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None.

( NO APPEALS. THE GOVERNMENT COMMITTE OR DEATH PANEL RULING IS FINAL, PAGE 30 of PDF House Bill 3200)

Health Care Nullification

10th Amendment Pledge

Health Care Nullification: Things have just gotten underway

Health Care Nullification Underway By The States

by Michael Boldin

“The several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government.”
–Thomas Jefferson


For the past few days, I’ve received loads of emails urging me to get active regarding the healthcare vote – most of which had a subject line similar to: “Last Chance to Stop National Healthcare!”

Well, if you believe the only way to protect your rights is by begging federal politicians to do what you want, then these emails are certainly right. The vote went as expected, and so will the next.

So if you think marching on D.C. or calling your Representatives, or threating to “throw the bums out” in 2010 or 2012 or 20-whatever, is going to further the cause of the Constitution and your liberty – you might as well get your shackles on now. Your last chance has come and gone.

But, those of you who visit this site regularly already know that the Senate’s health care vote is far from the end of things – and you also know that even when it goes into effect (which I assume some version will), it’s still not the end of the road for your freedom.

The real way to resist DC is not by begging politicians and judges in Washington to allow us to exercise our rights…it’s to exercise our rights whether they want to give us “permission” to or not.

Nullification – state-level resistance to unconstitutional federal laws – is the way forward.

Nullification

When a state ‘nullifies’ a federal law, it is proclaiming that the law in question is void and inoperative, or ‘non-effective,’ within the boundaries of that state; or, in other words, not a law as far as that state is concerned.

It’s peaceful, effective, and has a long history in the American tradition. It’s been invoked in support of free speech, in opposition to war and fugitive slave laws, and more.

Regarding nullification and health care, there’s already a growing movement right now. Led by Arizona, voters in a number of states may get a chance to approve State Constitutional Amendments in 2010 that would effectively ban national health care in their states. Our sources here at the Tenth Amendment Center indicate to us that we should expect to see 20-25 states consider such legislation in 2010.

20 States resisting DC can do what calling, marching, yelling, faxing, and emailing has almost never done. Stop the feds dead in their tracks.

For example, 13 states are already defying federal marijuana prohibition, and the federal government is having such a hard time dealing with it that the Obama administration recently announced that they would no longer prioritize enforcement in states that have medical marijuana laws.

Better yet, in the last 2+ years more than 20 states have been able to effectively prevent the Real ID Act of 2005 from being implemented. How did they do that? They passed laws and resolutions refusing to comply with it. And today, it’s effectively null and void without ever being repealed by Congress or challenged in court.

While the Obama administration would like to revive it under a different name, the reality is still there – with massive state-level resistance, the federal government can be pushed back inside its constitutional box. Issue by issue, law by law, the best way to change the federal government is by resisting it on a state level.

That’s nullification at work.

Over the years, wise men and women warned us that the Constitution would never enforce itself. The time is long overdue for people to start recognizing this fact, and bring that enforcement closer to home.

The bottom line? If you want to make real change; if you want to really do something for liberty and for the Constitution…focus on local activism and your state governments.

Particular to the United States, the U.S. Constitution was voluntarily formed as a compact by existing sovereign states with existing state constitutions.

See FP 39. Despite the deceptive proposition that the States were created by Congress, the States existed prior to and independent of any Congress, as confirmed by the Treaty of Paris in 1783 (which, by the way, was not overturned by any subsequent legal action of the states). “The State governments, by their original constitutions, are invested with complete sovereignty.” Alexander Hamilton, FP 31. And, “Each State, in ratifying the constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” James Madison, FP 39.

Today, there is a fraudulent notion in America which places the U.S. Constitution above the importance and relevance of the state constitutions and state sovereignty, despite the fact that we were told (in efforts to get us to ratify the U.S. Constitution) that “the State governments would clearly retain all rights of sovereignty which they before had, and which were not, by that act, exclusively delegated to the United States.” Alexander Hamilton, FP 32. The authoritative advocates of the U.S. Constitution confirm that even with the U.S. Constitution ratified or with the U.S. Constitution dissolved, the states would have their own constitutions to protect freedom and secure the blessings of liberty within that state.

10th Amendment Resolutions

Non-binding resolutions, often called “state sovereignty resolutions” do no carry the force of law. Instead, they are intended to be a statement of the legislature of the state. They play an important role, however.

If you owned an apartment building and had a tenant not paying rent, you wouldn’t show up with an empty truck to kick them out without first serving notice. That’s how we view these Resolutions – as serving “notice and demand” to the Federal Government to “cease and desist any and all activities outside the scope of their constitutionally-delegated powers.” Follow-up, of course, is a must.

Flight 77 United States v. Zacarias Moussaoui, Exhibit Number P200054

Flight 77 United States v. Zacarias Moussaoui, Exhibit Number P200054

This rejection of Ted Olson’s story by American Airlines, the Pentagon, and especially the FBI is a development of utmost importance. Without the alleged calls from Barbara Olson, there is no evidence that Flight 77 returned to Washington. Also, if Ted Olson’s claim was false, then there are only two possibilities: Either he lied or he was duped by someone using voice-morphing technology that pretended to be his wife. In either case, the official story about the calls from Barbara Olson were based on deception. If that part of the official account of 9/11 was based on deception, should we not suspect that other parts were as well?
..........................................................................................

Without the alleged calls from Barbara Olson, there is no evidence that Flight 77 returned to Washington.

The fact is Barbara Olson made one phone call from flight #77 at 09:18:58.

IT WAS AN UNCONNECTED CALL ACCORDING TO SWORN TESTIMONY BY THE FBI IN THE United States v. Zacarias Moussaoui trial in 2006.

The link to the FBI Prosecution Trial Exhibits Exhibit Number P200054 . Summary of Flight 77 depicting: the identity of pilots and flight attendants, seat assignments of passengers, and telephone calls from the flight This exhibit also includes information about the other three flights hijacked on September 11.

Summary of Flight 77 telephone calls

Download FBI exhibit

..........................................................................................
This is solid evidence Ted Olson lied. The FBI says no calls ever connected. Olson says he talked with his wife. Without the alleged calls from Barbara Olson, there is no evidence that Flight 77 returned to Washington. The FAA said flight 77 disappeared from the radar. It seems something very strange happened to flight 77 but what? What is even more strange is the government has not prosecuted olsen for perjury. Also the government proclaimed what olsen said his wife told him but denies his wife ever talked to him!!!!

(1) FAA says fight 77 disappeared from the radar.

(2) No evidence flight 77 retured to Washington.

(3) No evidence Hijackers used box cutters

(4) No evidence olson talked to his wife.

Ted Olson’s report was very important. It provided the only evidence that American 77, which was said to have struck the Pentagon, had still been aloft after it had disappeared from FAA radar around 9:00 AM (there had been reports, after this disappearance, that an airliner had crashed on the Ohio-Kentucky border). Also, Barbara Olson had been a very well-known commentator on CNN. The report that she died in a plane that had been hijacked by Arab Muslims was an important factor in getting the nation’s support for the Bush administration’s “war on terror.” Ted Olson’s report was important in still another way, being the sole source of the widely accepted idea that the hijackers had box cutters.
..........................................................................................
A plane hit the pentagon no doubt. Was it flight #77? Ted olson's story is a lie. Why?
Why has the government contradicted itself? Something is very wrong.
..........................................................................................

Ted olson was the solicitor general. The task of the Office of the Solicitor General is to supervise and conduct government litigation in the United States Supreme Court.

Don't tell me this man can't remember what his wife said in a phone call from an airplane and he just made a error.

Don't tell me this man just made a mistake. His "mistake" or bold face lie was used as a basis for legislation to prevent hijacking planes. His testimony to the FBI was a lie. So the legislation the government carved out was based on a phone call that never happened. Of course all the homeland security bills were not based on olsons phone calls. Why has this dog been left to die? Why is the US government saying olson lied?
Why is the US government lying but not investigation olson? The government continues to say what olson told them about what happened on flight #77. But this never happened. It can't be confirmed. There were never any connected phone calls. Amazing isn't it.

Read the story for yourself here


My point is the US government lies. You can't believe the US government all the time. Don't believe all the government tells you. Check what the government tells you. Verify what the government says. I did. I found the US Government is saying two different things. It is saying olson is a liar and it is saying what he originally told them happened on flight #77. The FBI says the phone calls never connected.

Flight 77 Passengers

Truly a bizarre passenger list of flight #77

Well, if you look at the occupations of the passengers of Flight 77, you get a strange feeling that something is wrong with this picture:

For a random collection of passengers, this is a very impressive manifest. We use the results of Killtown's work on the passenger list, which was drawn from the canonical sources of 9/11 victims biographical information on the Internet: the numbers in square brackets are the numbers in Killtown's listing .

* a senior scientist with the US Navy, retired Army. [12] A third-generation physicist whose work at the Navy was so classified that his family knew very little about what he did each day. They don't even know exactly why he was headed to Los Angeles on the doomed American Airlines Flight 77.
* a Boeing engineer in Integrated Defense Systems; he served in the US Air Force for four years, and for the National Security Agency for 14 years. [36]
* a director of program management at Raytheon, US Army (ret.) [28] who helped develop and build anti-radar technology for electronic warfare. Raytheon's website notes that they are leaders in every phase of the Precision Strike kill chain; are the world's leading organization at Missile Defense; provides state-of-the-art technology to detect, protect and respond to terrorism and provide Homeland Defense; and that their technology forms the eyes, ears and brains of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems, from the Predator to the Global Hawk.
* a retired naval aviator who worked for Veridian Corp., a defense contractor, who was working with military aircraft and weapons systems [56] A Navy test pilot who worked on the development of the F18. "He had done a number of black programs -- which means top-secret," said his son. "We were given no details."
* an electrical engineer with defense contractor BAE Systems. [41] largest technical support supplier to the US Navy. BAE Systems is an industry leader in flight control systems, which are present on nearly every US military aircraft. BAE electronic warfare systems such as their jamming system are vital to the US Navy operations.
* 2 Boeing propulsion engineers: a lead Propulsion Engineer and a Project Manager with Boeing Satellite Systems, [32] and a lead engineer for Boeing Satellite Systems. [40]
* a software architect with Lockheed Martin Corp., US Army (ret.). [42] A manager in the systems and software architecture department.
* a Vice President for software development, EMSolutions and retired Lieutenant Commander, Navy. [18] He spent 20 years in the US Navy, where he developed high capacity signal processors, multi-processor application software and innovative signal processing algorithms. EMSolutions maintains a facility security clearance, and has contracts with Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and BAE Systems.
* a technical group manager at Xon Tech, a defense-related research and development firm [46] He previously worked as an engineer at the Naval Research Lab. Also a technical manager of Xon Tech [53].
* a retired Navy Rear Admiral, former Navy pilot, and retired American Airlines pilot. [24]
* a senior executive at the Defense Department. [29] A budget analyst/director of the programming and fiscal economics division who worked at the Pentagon.
* a former Navy electronics technician worked as a Department of Defense contractor with Vrendenburg Co. in Washington [57]
* managing partner and co-founder of Stratin Consulting. and retired Marine Corps Lieutenant and Vietnam War veteran [26]
* a lawyer who had worked with the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps. [49]
* and of course, there was Barbara Olson, attorney, CNN Commentator and wife of the United States Solicitor General. [39]

The odds against this being a random group of 53 American Airlines passengers are simply astronomical! There are more top secret security clearances here than in most medium-sized cities in America.

Especially astounding in this bizarre passenger list is the preponderance of Navy personnel amongst the 4 armed services, and the tilt toward propulsion and guidance systems amongst all of the possible secret technologies. It's almost as if someone put this list together thinking that Navy personnel were expendable - or needed to be expended.

This looks like a charter flight for the military-industrial complex; it's almost as if this plane should have taken off from the Pentagon, rather than supposedly crashing into it.


So why bring this up now? Just because I read this story and want to inform others of these facts about ted olson and his never connected phone calls that were seen 24 hours a day for weeks on broadcast tv and radio. The US government has never explained why it has not explained ted olson's story of fight #77.

Do you trust your government. I don't

Obama Dismantling US



Obama Dismantling US

Thomas Sowell, the brilliant conservative pundit, makes an important point for those who think these radical extremists somehow got into the White House because of a failure to properly vet them. Mr. Sowell writes, “Why should we assume Obama didn’t know what such people were like; he’s been associating with these kinds of people for decades. Nothing is more consistent with his pattern than putting such people in government – people who reject American values, and resent Americans and America’s influence in the world.”

Wake up America. We elected one of the most dangerous enemies of America and he now sits in the White House, filled with other enemies of America, relentlessly going about his task of destroying the country as we know it and as the Founding Fathers intended it. You better join the forces in opposition to Mr. Obama’s vision for America because if he continues unobstructed for three more years, it may then be too late to save it.

It’s later than you think. Mr. Obama can kill the economy and America with his version of ObamaCare standing by itself (See The Bulletin, “ObamaCare Spells Doom for America,” Dec. 6-12, and “Wake Up Before Obama Destroys America,” Dec. 13-19). And, he seems to be firing shots with machine-gun rapidity that have the potential to destroy our economy and our country. There’s some element of truth in talk show host Michael Savage’s assertion that we now have a dictatorship. With supermajorities in both houses of Congress and with seemingly inept Republican leadership, with free use of extra-Constitutional methods, i.e. czars, there seems to be no real checks and balances that should keep an out-of-control radical runaway president in check.

Even our Founders, political geniuses, still could not foresee and plan for the election to the White House of an America-hating radical, backed by supermajorities of the Democratic Party willing to follow him over the cliff to the destruction of America.

.........................................................................................

What drives obama? Hate. Hate for America. Hate for free America. Hate for anyone who disagrees with him. Obama is evil. He is the embodiment of evil. Evil seeks to promote itself for the sake of destruction. Obama seeks to destroy America. Obama is the enemy within. He is a domestic enemy. I say this because of the overwhelming evidence of his record. All his efforts seek to demean America an appease the world. He promotes sodomy. He declares America is not a christian nation. He defends terrorists on US soil by trying them in civilian courts. Obama waffles on helping the military and declares victory is not the goal. Obama wastes taxpayer funds to pay off his democratic districts 2 to 1 over republican districts. He seeks to control the US population through "obamacare or death panels". Obama seeks to make climate change ie global warming a conduit for new massive taxation and government control. Everything obama does is not just bad its evil. This is because obama is evil. We are fighting against the evil that has control of barack obama. Obama is not in control of himself. To me obama is producing the doctrine of devils.

*****************************************************************************************

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils ..." 1 Timothy 4:1-2

*A doctrine of devils is a seduction by the devil of those who are willing to depart from the faith due to their own lusts or fears.

Paul first describes these people who will be deceived by lies; "they shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits," and, "they will not endure sound doctrine; they will have itching ears, and will hire [false] teachers to tell them what they lust to hear; and turn aside unto fables. 2 Tim 4:3

Paul defines a "doctrine of devils" as "lies and hypocrisy." Then he describes these teachers of doctrines of devils as having no conscience, or not capable of having a guilty conscience.

Paul goes on to give two examples: forbidding to marry, and, to abstain from meats.

Jesus warned that these false prophets would come, that they would attempt to deceive the Elect. Mat, 24:5, 11, 24, Rev 13:14

2 Thes 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." Those who believe false doctrines have believed a lie.

Eph 5:6 "Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience." Those who teach the lies and false doctrine will receive the plagues of the seven vials of God's wrath in full measure.

To recognize a lie, you must first have some ability to recognize the truth: if you cannot or will not believe the truth, you will believe the lies!
*****************************************************************************************

(This is what I believe is happening today. I believe some people cannot or will not believe the truth, therefore they believe the lies)

What has Obama accomplished?



...........................................................................................
The expressions on the faces of the people in Chicago reflect the real obama. These faces symbolize depression, anxiety, shock, astonishment, amazement and fear. These people represent duped America. They are a diversified group of STUNNED believers in obama.
...........................................................................................
States have budget shortfalls because the states tax revenues are falling short. This is because of vast unemployment. Businesses tax revenues are falling short. This is because the economy is not recovering. The economy is not recovering in spite of the fact the federal government has sent billions of dollars to the states to help with their budgets.

Yet obama says the economy is recovering. He is a liar. How can the economy be recovering when 48 out of 50 states can't meet their budgets due to tax revenue shortfalls?

How can the economy be improving when over 10% of Americans are unemployed?

Obama references tiny changes in the unemployment rate from 10.3 to 10.1 as a sign the economy is improving. These figures his references are estimates that are revised upward later.

The expressions on the faces of the people in Chicago reflect the real obama. These faces symbolize depression, anxiety, shock, astonishment, amazement and fear.

These people represent duped America. They are a diversified group of STUNNED believers in obama. Their belief has taken on a religious cult type of faith/emotion and any facts are dismissed or ignored.

Duped Americans who believe in the hoax of obama retain stunned looks on their faces as the aborted obama stimulus plan is peddled on the state run media stage.

These people the "duped group" look to obama for hope and change. They are getting hope and change from obama. He tells them lies and they believe him.

Obama does not deliver what he promises. He talks about something then changes the meaning as though a lie is the truth.

The "duped group" eats it up. They can't get enough. (Story Reports)

What has Obama accomplished?

Nancy Morgan
BrookesNews.Com
Monday 14 December 2009

Nancy Morgan making the rounds of conservative talk shows lately is the question, "What has Obama accomplished so far?" The question is asked of of Obama supporters and the answers range from 'abolishing lobbyists' to 'securing world peace' to 'lowering taxes.' One thing all answers have in common: They are all grounded in perception as opposed to reality. Obama has accomplished the amazing feat of convincing millions of Americans that black is white, that cold is hot, that the bad economy is the fault of George W Bush, and the only things standing between America and peace on earth are those darn Republicans and greedy capitalists.

As author Thomas Sowell points out in Is Reality Optional? Social history in the last 30 years has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good. And no-where is this more evident than in the 'change' Obama is foisting on the American people. The empty rhetoric of 'social justice' and 'compassion' is convincingly and successfully being used to justify ever more ludicrous social policies, which just happen to come with a huge price tag and more government control.

Ignored by the left and the media, however, is the inconvenient fact that every single policy promoted by Obama and passed by congress has been a dismal failure. From the jobs 'stimulus' package that has cost taxpayers a whopping $236,436 per job created — to the the 'cash for clunkers' — to the $61 billion bucks taxpayers just lost through the AIG and auto industry bailout.

Add in the $75 billion mortgage relief program to stem the largely government caused 'foreclosure crisis.' This program has helped a grand total of 31,000 borrowers to date, a paltry 4 percent of the 760,000 who have applied. Despite the dismal failures of these policies, Obama and his cohorts continue advocating more of the same. As Dr. Sowell points out, "The anointed are often wrong but never in doubt."

Though 80 percent of Americans are happy with their health insurance, Obama has declared a health care crisis. Obama and congress have devoted most of the year to imposing government run health care on all citizens, despite the fact that 61 percent of Americans oppose it.

Though evidence has recently surfaced undermining the dire claims of global warming, our elected elites continue to ignore relevant science, insisting that a massive redistribution of our wealth is needed in order to pay an imagined 'climate debt' to third world countries. Meanwhile, record unemployment and rising fees and taxes continue to devastate businesses and families across the nation. The exception are federal workers, who just got a 2 percent pay raise.

As Democrat leaders and their allies take to the airwaves denouncing corporate greed, our public servants are scrambling to enact policies that enable them to extort an ever increasing portion of the wealth created by American workers. In the process, severely undermining the rule of law and ignoring the limitations imposed by our Constitution. The Obama administration has plunged America into debt to the tune of a record $12 trillion dollars. That's $39,000 owed by every man woman and child in America. And there is no end in sight.

House Democrats just passed a $1.1 trillion dollar spending bill to fund the federal government. This bill includes $2 billion for 'climate' research, major spending boosts for domestic agencies and foreign aid. It also includes more than 5,200 pork barrel projects costing $3.9 billion. On top of that, Democrats are preparing to raise the federal debt ceiling by as much as $1.8 trillion before New Year’s.

Obama's policies are destroying the dollar and bankrupting America. Moody's just issued a warning that our triple A rating is in danger. Our president is also in the process of ceding American sovereignty to world bodies like the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.

What Obama has accomplished is astounding. He has managed in the short space of one year to dramatically alter the historical focus on individual rights and liberties to an ephemeral concept that focuses on government primacy.

Due to Obama's charisma and his skill in manipulating the system and redefining words to fit transient meanings, many Americans continue to believe Obama's rhetoric, willfully ignoring the underlying reality. Their belief has taken on a religious fervor based on faith and emotion and any facts to the contrary are summarily dismissed. After all, "Obama won." Once again, Thomas Sowell says it best:

We may be entering an era where the greatest dangers to the survival of Western civilization will come from internal social deterioration. Other great civilizations have declined and collapsed. We may be the first, however, to sink slowly into the quagmire, still beaming from ear to ear in self-congratulation at how 'innovative' we are in our social policies.

Obama is a dangerous man. He has convinced millions of Americans that they are entitled to the fruits of another man's labor. Virtually all of his policies to date have been designed to foster a dependence on government. But what the government gives, the government can take. As millions of enslaved peoples across the globe could attest — if they were allowed.

What has Obama accomplished? Nancy Morgan

Obama is a communist. He was elected as a democrate. Obama is a media creation only. What the public perceives as the "first black president" is in reality the "first black communist president". The people who continue to support obama will be enslaved by obama, as we all will, if he is not exposed as a hoax soon. Obama knows this. He knows he must rush the "health care" bill through the senate even though no one will have seen the entire bill before it is voted on. Obama will add various provisions as he did in his other bills to strip away Americans freedoms and enslave the public via "health care".

Adolf Hitler rose to power by first enslaving the German people through national "health care". Hitler used this as an excuse to put to death millions of his own people. Obama will do the same through various "health Care" panels that will determine who and when health care will be given. Obama will control every aspect of your life if the "health care" bill is passed by congress. It will truly be the beginning of the end of a free America. Obama is using the stimulus money as a slush fund to pay off various senators and congressmen to vote for his hitler type programs. Obama can be compared to hitler when it comes to health care. The same pattern is emerging.(Story Reports)

Obama Hitler Care Is No Joke

Hitler's T4 Program Revived In Obama's Health-Care `Reform'. You will have no recourse because the government can't be sued nor will there be any appeal after a committee determines you are unworthy or life. This is what national health care is all about. Yes there are "death care" panels. In effect "killing off old people" its not crazy or stupid phrase to use because your health care will be determined by one of several panels, with no appeal. I WOULD CALL THIS A DEATH PANEL!! If a panel of people determine you don't need an operation etc you don't get an operation. If a panel of people determine you do need an operation etc you must wait in the CUE or line until you can be served. You could die waiting in the CUE or line waiting for a doctor to treat you. This is what NATIONAL HEALTH CARE IS. Its not personalised health care as we have now. The US government will be telling you what doctor or hospital you can go to if you can go to a doctor or hospital at all. Thousands of doctors will leave the medical field. The quality of health care will become that of a "walk in hut in Kenya".

This is obamacare. This is what I call obama hitler care.

Obama’s involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange – the rest of the story



Obama Helped Fund Carbon Program Years Ago He Is Now Pushing Through Congress..Fox News

Don't you find it interesting that obama helped created the very carbon futures exchange he is now promoting and pushing though congress? Come on obama deserves some credit. When the American people wake up and catch on to the scam obama is working there will be no where for the "first black imposter president" from chicago to hide. Story Reports

Obama’s involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange–the rest of the story

Good news to know that the truth will always out–even when you’re Barack Obama.

“Obama Years Ago Helped Fund Carbon Program He Is Now Pushing Through Congress” is a FOXNews story by Ed Barnes. In short, “While on the board of a Chicago-based charity, Barack Obama helped fund a carbon trading exchange that will likely play a critical role in the cap-and-trade carbon reduction program he is now trying to push through Congress as president.”

The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of directors Obama served and which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.”

And that’s only the beginning of this tawdry tale, Mr. Barnes.

The “privately-owned” Chicago Climate Exchange is heavily influenced by Obama cohorts Al Gore and Maurice Strong.

For years now Strong and Gore have been cashing in on that lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.

Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Wikipedia-described as “the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.”

Gore, self-proclaimed Patron Saint of the Environment, buys his carbon off-sets from himself–the Generation Investment Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C., of which he is both chairman and founding partner. The Generation Investment Management business has considerable influence over the major carbon credit trading firms that currently exist, including the Chicago Climate Exchange.

Strong, the silent partner, is a man whose name often draws a blank on the Washington cocktail circuit. Even though a former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in the days of an Oil-for-Food beleaguered Kofi Annan, the Canadian born Strong is little known in the United States. That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he he has been working to make the communist country the world’s next superpower. The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is the big cheese in the underworld of climate change and is one of the main architects of the failing Kyoto Protocol.

Full credit for the expose on the business partnership of Strong and Gore in the cap-and-trade reduction scheme should go to the investigative acumen of the Executive Intelligence Review (EIR).

The tawdry tale of the top two global warming gurus in the business world goes all the way back to Earth Day, April 17, 1995 when the future author of “An Inconvenient Truth” travelled to Fall River, Massachusetts, to deliver a green sermon at the headquarters of Molten Metal Technology Inc. (MMTI). MMTI was a firm that proclaimed to have invented a process for recycling metals from waste. Gore praised the Molten Metal firm as a pioneer in the kind of innovative technology that can save the environment, and make money for investors at the same time.

“Gore left a few facts out of his speech that day,” wrote EIR. “First, the firm was run by Strong and a group of Gore intimates, including Peter Knight, the firm’s registered lobbyist, and Gore’s former top Senate aide.”

(Fast-forward to the present day and ask yourself why it is that every time someone picks up another Senate rock, another serpent comes slithering out).

“Second, the company had received more than $25 million in U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research and development grants, but had failed to prove that the technology worked on a commercial scale. The company would go on to receive another $8 million in federal taxpayers’ cash, at that point, its only source of revenue.

“With Al Gore’s Earth Day as a Wall Street calling card, Molten Metal’s stock value soared to $35 a share, a range it maintained through October 1996. But along the way, DOE scientists had balked at further funding. When in March 1996, corporate officers concluded that the federal cash cow was about to run dry, they took action: Between that date and October 1996, seven corporate officers–including Maurice strong–sold off $15.3 million in personal shares in the company, at top market value. On Oct. 20, 1996–a Sunday–the company issued a press release, announcing for the first time, that DOE funding would be vastly scaled back, and reported the bad news on a conference call with stockbrokers.

“On Monday, the stock plunged by 49%, soon landing at $5 a share. By early 1997, furious stockholders had filed a class action suit against the company and its directors. Ironically, one of the class action lawyers had tangled with Maurice strong in another insider trading case, involving a Swiss company called AZL Resources, chaired by Strong, who was also a lead shareholder. The AZL case closely mirrored Molten Metal, and in the end, Strong and the other AZL partners agreed to pay $5 million to dodge a jury verdict, when eyewitness evidence surfaced of Strong’s role in scamming the value of the company stock up into the stratosphere, before selling it off.

In 1997, Strong went on to accept from Tongsun Park, who was found guilty of illegally acting as an Iraqi agent, $1 million from Saddam Hussein, which was invested in Cordex Petroleum Inc., a company he owned with his son, Fred.

These are the leaders in the Man-made Global Warming Movement, who three years later were to be funded by the man who was to become President of the United States of America.

If we follow the time line on where Obama was during the funding of the Chicago Climate Exchange, he was still a professor at the University of Chicago Law School teaching constitutional law, with his law license becoming inactive a year later in 2002.

It may be interesting to note that the Chicago Climate Exchange in spite of its hype, is a veritable rat’s nest of cronyism. The largest shareholder in the Exchange is Goldman Sachs. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is its honorary chairman, The Joyce Foundation, which funded the Exchange also funded money for John Ayers’ Chicago School Initiatives. John is the brother of William Ayers.

What a flap when it was discovered that the senator from Chicago had nursed on Saul Alinsky’s milk, had his political career launched at a coffee party held by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and sat for 20 years, uncomplaining in front of the “God-dam-America pulpit of resentment-challenged Jeremiah Wright.

Folk were naturally outraged that the empty suit who would go on to become TOTUS was spawned from such anti-American activism.

But the media should have been hollering, “Stop Thief!” instead.

The same Chicago Climate Exchange promoting public rip-off was funded by Obama before he was POTUS.

Even as man-made global warming is being exposed as a money-generating hoax, Obama is working feverishly to push the controversial cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme through Congress.

Obama was never the character he created for himself in the fairy-tale version in “Dreams of My Father”. He’s the agent of Change and Hope for cohorts making money down at the Chicago Climate Exchange.

The Barbarians are pushing at the gate of the Global Warming fraud, and to borrow a line from children playing Hide and Seek, Here they come, ready or not!

How Goldman Sachs Will Fleece America Via The FRAUD OBAMA

The Green Bubble:

With former Goldman-Sachs employees in key positions in the Obama administration (and with campaign cash donations from Goldman-Sachs employees just shy of $1 million) the firm is seated to push for and be the beneficiaries of the next bubble – Carbon Credits.

The coming Carbon Credits futures market is probably the most insidious ponzi scheme ever to be perpetrated on the American people. More dangerous than both ponzi schemes by Madoff and Social Security combined. This myth like cult created by the likes of Al Gore and other environmental alarmists is the catalyst for the next wave of Problem-Action-Reaction-Solution! that is specifically designed to remove you from your hard earned money! This time Goldman-Sachs won’t have to do any price fixing or creative tomfoolery, No! This time, the rise in prices will be government-mandated and will affect most everything we buy or sell and Goldman-Sachs wants in.

Goldman wants this bill. The plan is (1) to get in on the ground floor of paradigm-shifting legislation, (2) make sure that they’re the profit-making slice of that paradigm and (3) make sure the slice is a big slice. Goldman started pushing hard for cap-and-trade long ago, but things really ramped up last year when the firm spent $3.5 million to lobby climate issues.

As I wrote here As I wrote here Green bubbles aren’t new, with more and more people calling out, backing away from, and outright credibly debunking claims by environmental alarmists and doom pushers the time seems to be right to pop the current “Green Bubble”.

Historically, say Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger of The New Republic, “Green Bubbles” are “inflated during highly polarized periods in American society and politics, often fueled by disastrously violent episodes in foreign policy” They go on to say:

This time, they say, the left’s alienation in the Bush years helped inflate a bubble of unrealistic “green anti-modernism,” epitomized by Al Gore. It illustrates, the writers say, that “while utopianism has a bright side–it is a way of imagining a better world–it also has a dark side characterized by escapism and a disengagement from reality that marks all bubbles, green or financial.”

They also add that this isn’t the first time a “Green Bubble” has burst:

This isn’t the first time an eco-bubble has inflated and then burst. In fact, the modern environmental movement was born in a bubble. In 1969, an industrial pollution fire on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, generated national publicity and outrage. The first photographs of Earth in its entirety transmitted from outer space were received as signs of a new ecological consciousness. The first Earth Day was held in 1970, and, over the next three years, Congress passed and (a Republican) President Nixon signed into law sweeping environmental statutes.


(This article explains in detail how the imposter obama was at the ground floor creation of the climate credit exchange. It is not just millions that obama's fellow thugs will steal from Americans it is also American's freedoms. This is another plain example of obama minus the mask of the media creation. Money via the fraud scheme of obama, gore and goldman sachs is what its all about. Obama should be arrested in office for FRAUD and tried for TREASON!) Story Reports

Obama gave himself a B+ on his efforts to scam America. Of course he said he gave himself a B+ as president but that is what he really means. I would say he is almost correct. He should receive a good grade as a scam artist and imposter.

Obama said, "The biggest burden on me right now is that economic growth has happened, but job growth has not happened," Obama told Winfrey on the ABC special.

This is a bold face lie. Obama is a total failure in his efforts to "stimulate" the economy. Obama has only stimulated his democratic districts around the US with twice the "stimulus" funds as republican districts. Obama is a scam artist and thug. A liar.

Obama gives twice the amount of stimulus money to democratic districts through a formula yet to be disclosed to the public




The economics of state allocations

Stimulus Funds Not Targeted To States That Need Jobs

(The bulk of state funds were "spread" around but double to democratic districts. Remember obama said he wanted to "spread the wealth around" but he was really saying he wanted to pay off his cronies and democrate party people. Because of this I see no reason why obama cannot be impeached for this crime while in office. It is a crime to send funds in twice the amount to democratic districts. This is another Quo Warranto case. I hope Leo Donofrio and Steve Pidgeon will also bring this obama administration crime to the attention of the DC Court.)

Of the $787 billion in ARRA, state governments will receive as much as $300 billion. The bulk of these state funds will be spread over four key programs:

* A $54 billion Fiscal Stabilization Fund meant primarily to stave off cuts in state education spending

* A $90 billion Fiscal Relief Fund meant to shore up financing for state Medicaid programs

* A $40 billion program to allow states to extend and increase unemployment insurance (UI) benefits

* At least $70 billion to fund transportation projects

Each program also includes a small portion to be allocated at the discretion of the executive branch.

(This is interesting. Its says each part of the stimulus program includes a "small" portion which can be allocated, or used as a SLUSH FUND, AT THE DISCRETION OF OBAMA. I would like to know how much is at the 'discretion' of obama and where the funds went.) Story Reports

Report: Democratic districts received nearly twice the amount of stimulus funds as GOP districts

By: Mark Hemingway
Commentary Staff Writer
December 16, 2009

A new analysis of the $157 billion distributed by the American Reinvestment and Recovery act, popularly known as the stimulus bill, shows that the funds were distributed without regard for what states were most in need of jobs.

“You would think that if the stimulus money was actually spent to create jobs, there would be more stimulus money spent in high unemployment states,” said Veronique de Rugy, a scholar at the Mercatus Center who produced the analysis. "But we don't find any correlation."

The Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Virginia is one of the nation's most respected economic and regulatory think tanks and has a Nobel prize-winning economist on staff. The econometric analysis was done using data provided by Recovery.gov -- the government website devoted to tracking the stimulus data -- as well as a host of other government databases.

Additionally, Mercatus found that stimulus funds were not disbursed geographically with any special regard for low-income Americans. “We find no correlation between economic indicators and stimulus funding. Preliminary results find no statistically significant effect of unemployment, median income or mean income on stimulus funds allocation,” said the report.

(Wow this means the stimulus funds didn't do what they were suppose to do nor were the funds distributed in a way to stimulate the economy. It is more evidence obama is a FRAUD) Story Reports


The Mercatus Center analysis also found that Democratic congressional districts received on average almost double the funding of Republican congressional districts. Republican congressional districts received on average $232 million in stimulus funds while Democratic districts received $439 million on average.

“We found that there is a correlation [relating to the partisanship of congressional districts],” de Rugy said. Her regression analysis found that stimulus funds are expected to decrease by 24.19 percent if a district is represented by a Republican.

“During the appropriations process, you're not surprised to see the Democrats are getting more money, but in this case a lot of the money we're looking at is going through HUD [Department of Housing and Urban Development], or Department of Education, Department of Transportation etc. and they're following a formula,” she said. “But the correlation exists, and not only does it exist -- when you look at how much money we're talking about, it's a pretty big deal.”

The analysis found that neither congressional leadership positions of local members nor presidential preference in 2008 were factors in stimulus allocation by congressional district.

Finally, the Mercatus analysis shows that a majority of the funds allocated went to public rather than private entities -- nearly $88 billion to $69 billion. While some of the money given to public entities may eventually filter down to the private sector, it's much less transparent how money given to public entities is spurring economic growth and job creation.


(Yes, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Education, Department of Transportation etc are following the "obama formula" of kickback or payoff slush fund money. All this should be investigated by congress but of course it will not be investigated as long as the democrates are in control. An investigation into why democratic districts were given twice the stimulus money via the obama administration formula should be a top priority in congress. This is FRAUD committed by a FRAUD.

(I want to know how the obama formula works. I want to see it. How complicated is it? The letter from the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank explains a little. ???

The letter equates economic need with a states expected stimulus share. How could it be possible for twice the funds to go to democratic districs? This would mean democratic districs have twice the economic need than republican districs have. This is a FRAUD exposed. The "need" seems to have been to equate democratic districs with twice the economic need for funds because they are democratic districs. This is the obama stimulus formula. If your a democrate you get twice the amount if not you get 50%.) Story Reports


The following information is from an "Economic Letter" the Federal Reserve Bank Of San Francisco Published on Apri 17, 2009.

FRBSF Economic Letter

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was signed into law on February 17, and already its impact is being felt in state capitals around the nation. Governors and state legislators are incorporating expected stimulus funds into 2009-2010 budgets and a number of state public works projects predicated on ARRA funding already have begun. As states start spending these ARRA funds, the debate about their likely economic impact has taken on new life.

One question is whether federal stimulus funds are heading to those states best positioned to put the money to good use right away. That is, have the funds been allocated in a way that maximizes their potential impact on national economic growth? This Economic Letter addresses this question by comparing the degree of economic need in different states with each state's expected share of ARRA funds. Such an analysis is important in evaluating the likelihood that stimulus money will be spent effectively. While it is too early to tell whether the overall stimulus package will have its intended effects, this review suggests that, by and large, the distribution of federal stimulus funds is indeed tilted toward those states most likely to spend the funds quickly and effectively.

The economics of state allocations

Of the $787 billion in ARRA, state governments will receive as much as $300 billion. The bulk of these state funds will be spread over four key programs:

* A $54 billion Fiscal Stabilization Fund meant primarily to stave off cuts in state education spending

* A $90 billion Fiscal Relief Fund meant to shore up financing for state Medicaid programs

* A $40 billion program to allow states to extend and increase unemployment insurance (UI) benefits

* At least $70 billion to fund transportation projects

The money going to states is meant to reduce their need to raise taxes or cut government spending to meet their constitutional balanced-budget requirements. According to ARRA proponents, such fiscal austerity could intensify the contraction of the national economy (see, e.g., Romer 2009).

The total impact of ARRA money going to states will depend on how quickly and productively states use the funds. How a given state spends its ARRA allocation will depend importantly on two factors: the restrictions tied to the use of the funds and the state's budget position. For unrestricted funds, states facing more severe budget deficits will probably spend the money quickly. States in stronger fiscal health, however, potentially could receive more unrestricted money than they need to fund planned obligations and might save the excess by adding to their rainy day funds or transferring it to residents in the form of tax cuts. A good indicator then of how likely a state is to spend unrestricted federal funds immediately is its projected near-term budget deficit. I look at the relationship between state ARRA allocations and projected state budget gaps below.

For restricted funds, such as money earmarked for specific transportation projects, a different question is in order: Will these new public investments crowd out potential private investment, as some have argued (e.g., Becker and Murphy 2009), by drawing away productive resources such as capital and labor? The closer a state's economy is to operating at capacity, the greater the potential for such crowding out. Below I also analyze whether ARRA's transportation spending is expected to go disproportionately to states with the greatest idle productive capacity, which would reduce the potential for crowding out.

How are stimulus funds allocated to states?

The way in which ARRA funds will be distributed to states differs for each component of the stimulus package. For the $40 billion UI component, the federal government will almost fully reimburse each state's cost of expanding and extending unemployment benefits. Hence, these funds will be allocated roughly in proportion to state unemployment rates. The other three ARRA state programs cited above are allocated according to formulas specified in the legislation, though each program also includes a small portion to be allocated at the discretion of the executive branch. The Fiscal Stabilization Fund, which is meant to prevent cuts in state education spending, uses the simplest of the three formulas. Aside from a small portion set aside for incentive grants, program funds will be allocated to each state according to a weighted average of its total population and its school-age population.

The Fiscal Relief Fund piggybacks on the existing formula for federal government assistance to state Medicaid programs and has three parts. The first is a simple scaling up of the existing federal share of a state's Medicaid costs. Second, a so-called "hold-harmless" component is meant to offset cuts in federal support called for by the existing formula in states where per capita income grew rapidly in the last few years prior to the start of the recession. The third part provides for an additional increase in a state's federal Medicaid share in proportion to the rise in the state's unemployment rate during the recession. Taken together, the Fiscal Relief Fund's three components direct the most support to states that have experienced the most rapid reversals in economic fortunes, where strong pre-recession economic growth was followed by rapidly rising unemployment and expanding Medicaid rolls.

The Fiscal Stabilization and Fiscal Relief Funds are partially restricted. They are meant to enable states to maintain spending on Medicaid and education above minimum thresholds laid out in the legislation. However, once a state has met those minimum requirements, stimulus funds from these two programs allow the state to shift resources to other parts of its budget. For practical purposes, these funds are largely unrestricted.

........................................................................................

Lets not forget obama has the ability to payoff his thugs with the stimulus money because of the follwing provision:

"each program also includes a small portion to be allocated at the discretion of the executive branch."

This is money obama could send to the communist party or acorn. How did he use this money and how much? I would like to know wouldn't you? Story Reports

Republicans Can Stop Obama

By Fighting Obamacare On The Floor Of The Senate.

Posted by Erick Erickson (RedState)

Saturday, December 12th at 12:25PM EST

The Founding Fathers created a Republic, but 60 Senators are poised to take it away. With the pending disaster of the passage in the Senate of a bill nationalizing one sixth of the U.S. economy and our entire healthcare system at a cost of over $2.5 trillion, we are faced with a crucial question: are the Republican senators using every means at their disposal to stop this looming, tyrannical abuse of power? Unfortunately, the answer appears to be “no.”

The Senate, unlike the House of Representatives, has parliamentary rules and procedures that give the minority the ability to stall legislation. In fact, unlike the House, the minority have the ability to virtually paralyze the Senate. Doing so is not something we would want or expect for every bad bill that comes through Congress, but the proposed healthcare legislation is probably the worst piece of legislation ever considered by the United States Congress. It is the most intrusive, most damaging, most costly, most dangerous bill to the economic and personal freedom and liberty of individual Americans that Congress has ever considered. If there is any bill that deserves being stopped by shutting down the Senate, it is this one.

There are a whole series of parliamentary maneuvers that could be used by Republican senators to stop this bill. There is a hard backstop to the current process (Christmas). The Republicans’ goal should be to prevent Reid from passing the bill before that time. If he goes past Christmas and is forced to adjourn or recess, the momentum will shift in favor of those opposing the bill.

How could this be done?

To start with, they should stop constantly agreeing to “unanimous consent” requests from the Democrats. Senate Republicans, to date, have allowed Democrats, by unanimous consent, to process 10 amendments. The amendments that have been accepted – Democrat amendments – did not make the over 2000-page atrocity any better. The Republican strategy of trying to pass their own “message” amendments carries no message unless you consider “no strategy to kill the bill” a message. There are no amendments that could possibly make this bill a palatable piece of legislation – and any amendments the Republicans get passed that supposedly make the bill “better” may just make it easier for the Democrats to get final passage. If the Republicans want the news media to cover what they are doing to educate the American people even further about the atrociousness of this bill, they have to create drama on the floor of the Senate. And the only way to do that is through an all-out fight with no holds barred. They need to look like Braveheart, fighting to the end to save freedom. Because, in fact, it is our very freedom and liberty that is at stake.

The most powerful words in the Senate are “I object.” Senate Republicans should have been shouting those two words on the Senate floor early and often from the moment this bill was considered, instead of the complete silence we have heard – other than to constantly agree to conduct business through unanimous consent. Here are just a few ways those words can (and should) be used in a very effective way:

The rules of the Senate require that a quorum be present to transact business. A quorum is 51 Senators. In most instances, outside of roll call votes, there are no more than 4 Senators on the Senate floor. If a Republican Senator suggested the absence of a quorum, Democrats could not transact business on the bill. It is a common courtesy to allow the quorum call to be dispensed with, without requiring 51 members to show up on the Senate floor (to get 51 Senators to appear without a roll call vote is very time consuming). When the Democrats ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with, the Republican should immediately shout “I object.”

(I agree. Where in the you know what are the republicans? Good ole boys exposed!)

In 1988, when the Democrats were attempting to pass campaign finance reform, and Republicans refused to help them make a quorum, it took 53 hours for the quorum call to be dispensed with. If at any moment at least 50 Democrats are not on the floor, a Republican Senator could again suggest the absence of a quorum and start the process over again, causing huge delays in the legislative process being able to move forward.

No amendment can automatically or without substantial delay receive a roll call vote without every member of the Senate agreeing. Again, the Senate generally operates on collegial courtesy, but a $2.5 trillion courtesy is too much. Once an amendment is pending, it only takes one Senator to step in front of this freight train. If a Senator objects to ending debate on the amendment or having the amendment set aside, the majority must file cloture on the amendment. First cloture has to ripen and it cannot ripen until the next day’s session of the Senate, so that kills a day of the majority’s time. Assuming 60 Senators vote in favor of ending debate, the Senate is then required to spend 30 hours of its session time before voting on final passage for the amendment. Suffice it to say, if the Republicans had continuously objected from the start, the ten amendments they allowed the majority to process would have taken more days than Harry Reid has on the Senate calendar.

Senators have an obligation to protect the Constitution and the budget and points of order can be raised on both. Many constitutional scholars have pointed out that numerous bill provisions, particularly the individual mandate, are unconstitutional. Under the Senate’s rules, constitutional points of order are debatable. The Republicans should be constantly bringing up constitutional points of order, one after another, on every questionable provision. Reid would presumably be forced to file cloture on the points of order and another three days could be burned up on each one.

The healthcare bill violates § 425(a)(2) of the Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of any legislation that contains an unfunded intergovernmental mandate in excess of $69 million per year. If the point of order is raised and sustained, a simple majority may vote to waive the point of order. But the waiver is debatable and thus would presumably require 60 votes to cloture the motion to waive. This would require them to produce 60 votes at a time when they do not have their deal wrapped up yet, once again burning up three days.

On every vote, including on constantly raised points of order, the Republicans should be objecting that the vote total is incomplete – the Democratic Chair will rule that it is complete and the Republicans then appeal and once again force a vote, delaying the process again and again.

The Republicans should be offering one amendment after another on all of their favorite issues such as guns, abortion, elimination of the death tax, ending the TARP program, and gay marriage in the District of Columbia. Nothing connotes trench warfare like non-germane amendments on hot-button social issues. When you look back at all of the great filibusters of past decades, they almost always involved non-germane, explosive amendments on contentious social and other issues. Republicans should be offering hundreds of such amendments on every topic and using the rules to force votes on every single one. And the Republicans should be forcing the reading of the bill and every single amendment, not consenting to waiving that requirement.

Some might argue that Republicans should not look “obstructionist.” But they are wrong – the vast majority of Americans don’t like this bill and don’t want it to pass. The Tea Party movement was the upheaval of millions of ordinary Americans who are scared and angry about the out-of-control growth of the federal government, federal spending, and the national debt. They want to see the Republicans obstructing passage of this bill and if they think the Republicans are not fighting with every tool they have at their disposal, then any advantage that the Republicans think they will get in next year’s elections from such a bill being passed will evaporate. Conservatives will mount challenges to what they see as weak Republicans, just like what happened in New York’s special congressional race, helping Democrats eek out wins. And other conservative will stay home (like they did in 2008) rather than support GOP incumbents who did not fight.

The view coming out of the Senate of the Republicans has the appearance of business-as-usual – colloquies, speeches, and unanimous consent agreements. It does not convey the sense of urgency that should come with an issue of this magnitude and it does not provide any assurance to the public, including most especially the conservative base that is the heart of the Republican Party, that Republican Senators are willing to do everything it takes to stop this bill. If they don’t starting acting forcefully quickly and immediately, not only will they allow the country’s future to be unalterably damaged, they will be hastening the end to their own careers in the elections coming down the road faster than they can imagine.

Finally, I often hear that Senators express frustration when we dare to tell them how to fight, and that their frequent refrain is “you just don’t understand how the Senate works.” Actually some of us understand better than they do how it should work (whether they agree with every particular parliamentary tactic described or not), and the current frustration they feel with us will be nothing like what they may feel if they don’t stop this bill at all costs and act to preserve our Republic.

(Obama is a thug but we also have republicans that are doing the will of obama and not the people. It makes me sick to think these guys are so milk toast they can't stop obamacare.)

(Obama has said many times that obamacare must be passed or the economy will crash. A lie. He is saying this to cover his own rear end. I believe sometime in the future there will be an investigation into how he used the stimulus funds that were allocated directly to the white house. He could say he used them to pass the obamacare bill to stimulate the economy. Another lie. In reality he uses these funds that congress has given him to BUY VOTES IN CONGRESS. ITS A PAYOFF TO CONGRESS. A KICKBACK. A legal kickback they hope.)
