Glenn Beck - Current Events & Politics - Glenn Beck: Does Congress Matter?

Glenn Beck - Current Events & Politics - Glenn Beck: Does Congress Matter?:

Just a few short months ago you felt alone. You felt your voice didn't matter. The frustration led you to act, to demand (many for the first time) that your voice be heard.

Look how far you've come. Politicians were ignoring you, now they fear you. And that's a healthy 'we will vote you out' fear, because we are awake and watching and will call those out who are not 'protecting and defending' the Constitution of the United States."

Healthcare Momentum Turning Against Obama

Healthcare Momentum Turning Against Obama:

The ups and downs of the published polls about Barack Obama's healthcare proposals dramatically illustrate the ferocity of the headwinds he faces as he desperately tries to sell his program to a suspicious and wary public."

The Innovation Tax - WSJ.com

The Innovation Tax - WSJ.com:

Supposedly the Senate’s version of ObamaCare was written by Finance Chairman Max Baucus, but we’re beginning to wonder if the true authors were Abbott and Costello. The vaudeville logic of the plan is that Congress will tax health care to subsidize people to buy health care that new taxes and regulation make more expensive."

The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : Baucus's Tax on Medical Innovation

The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : Baucus's Tax on Medical Innovation:

In my article the other day on the Baucus health care bill, I noted the new taxes he has proposed in order to pay for it. Today, a Wall Street Journal editorial took a close look on one of those taxes -- a $4 billion per year levy on medical device makers. The editorial highlights how damaging it would prove to an important industry:"

American Thinker: Who taught you to lie, call people names, and accuse people of racism?

American Thinker: Who taught you to lie, call people names, and accuse people of racism?:

Where did the Democratic Congress, the Obama administration, and the main stream media learn to act so rudely, obnoxiously, and disingenuously; to call people names, treat others without any common courtesy or manners, and above all else to be deceptive and lie to citizens of the United States?"

Cap-and-Trade's Cost to Americans: $1,761 per Household

Cap-and-Trade's Cost to Americans: $1,761 per Household:

The Obama administration has concluded privately that a cap-and-trade law would cost every American household $1,761 a year — or a national total of nearly $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent."

Investors.com - Grim Prognosis From Doctors Opposed To Health Care Plan:

Doctor opposition to health care overhaul proposals is broad and deep, revealing concerns not just about soaring costs, declining care, possible rationing and a lack of limits on malpractice suits, but also about government competence and motives, detailed responses to a new IBD/TIPP Poll show."

Capitol Briefing - Republicans Denounce Pelosi for Warning Against 'Incitement'

Capitol Briefing - Republicans Denounce Pelosi for Warning Against 'Incitement':

The House Republicans' top campaign chief strongly denounced Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comments that appeared to question whether today's angry conservative protests were similar to anti-gay rallies in the late 1970s that preceded the assassination of two San Francisco political leaders."

Is she alright...?...well, THAT was a rhetorical question, wasn't it? "There will be Blood"....?...!!!
Nancy, watching too much Daniel Day Lewis???
Over one million people get together of 9/12.....not one arrest.....but..."There will be Blood".......jeez...

RealClearPolitics - Video - Pelosi Chokes Up Warning Against Political "Violence":

“I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.”"

Barack Obama surrenders to Russia on Missile Defence - Telegraph Blogs

Barack Obama surrenders to Russia on Missile Defence - Telegraph Blogs:

I blogged a couple of weeks ago that the Obama administration was about to abandon its plans for Third Site missile defence installations in Poland and the Czech Republic. I wrote then that “if enacted, this would represent a huge turnaround in American strategic thinking on a global missile defence system, and a massive betrayal of two key US allies in eastern and central Europe. Such a move would significantly weaken America’s ability to combat the growing threat posed by Iran’s ballistic missile program, and would hand a major propaganda victory to the Russians.”"

New Health Proposal Is Industry's Favorite So Far

Read on and find out why your Insurers are so quiet...they're being handed the fatted calf by Obama....

New Health Proposal Is Industry's Favorite So Far:

WASHINGTON -- The latest health overhaul plan circulating on Capitol Hill gives health insurers, drug makers and large employers reasons to heave sighs of relief, sparing them the higher costs and more burdensome rules included in other Democratic-written alternatives.

Industry players that have already struck bargains with President Barack Obama's administration and leading Democrats to help pay for revamping the health system saw most of those deals left intact _ and in some cases sweetened _ in the $856 billion proposal unveiled Wednesday by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., the Finance Committee chairman."

Mainstream Media Misses ACORN, Other Anti-Obama Scoops — Bias or Incompetence?

Mainstream Media Misses ACORN, Other Anti-Obama Scoops — Bias or Incompetence?:

Now that ACORN has lost its Census Bureau contract and Senate funding, grassroots conservatives are trying to decide what's more outrageous – the organization's wrongdoing, or the media's blatant reluctance to cover it?

'Truly shocking' is how The Los Angeles Times described the ACORN revelations on Tuesday."

The American Spectator : The Gaffe Czar

The American Spectator : The Gaffe Czar:

One of journalists' favorite pastimes during the Bush years was to poke fun at the president's frequently bumbled speech patterns. Bush's less-than-stellar oratorical moments -- such as 'Is our children learning?' and 'They misunderestimate me' -- were proof, they said, that he was just plain stupid."

The American Spectator : Unhinged from Reality

The American Spectator : Unhinged from Reality:

Some of people's concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but by prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Now such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It's a lie, plain and simple."

American Thinker: What I Saw at the Revolution

American Thinker: What I Saw at the Revolution:

Do you think there'll be porta-potties?' Was the anxious question my husband asked. He's in his fifties, after all. He asked about restroom facilities several days before we left for DC, and enjoined me to 'find out on the internet' because he thinks I can find out anything on the internet. It was from the various conservative blogs and forums that I haunt on the net that had inspired me to put together this trip to DC in the first place."

American Thinker: Calling Obama Out on HealthCare

American Thinker: Calling Obama Out on HealthCare:

At his nationally televised address to Congress on Sept. 9, President Obama talked long and hard in an effort to sell his grandiose healthcare scheme. Meanwhile, the 800-pound gorilla in the room representing the town hall protests across the country, sat quietly, waiting to be acknowledged. Unfortunately, for the majority of the country having serious concerns over healthcare 'reform', no acknowledgement was forthcoming."

American Thinker: Black Tea Party Express Tour Team Member Experienced Racism

American Thinker: Black Tea Party Express Tour Team Member Experienced Racism:

I traveled on the Tea Party Express tour bus as a singer/songwriter, entertainer and spokesperson; 16 states, 34 rallies in two weeks. I experienced vicious racial verbal attacks, not from the tea party protesters. The racial hate expressed against me all came from the left, people who support President Obama's radial socialist agenda."

Dem Senator Warns of 'Big, Big Tax' on Middle Class in Baucus Bill - The Note:

It's not every day that you hear a Democratic senator charge that a fellow Democrat is proposing to raise taxes on the middle class, but that is what happened on Tuesday when Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., ripped into the health-care bill developed by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mt., the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee."

Health Care Debate: A Crisis in Four Acts - HUMAN EVENTS:

If you are waiting anxiously for Washington to begin the gigantic health care reform debate, you’re way out of the loop. President Obama, with his big majorities in Congress, has already enacted huge chunks of his health care agenda.

Look what just happened:"

The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : Why Are Embezzlement Coverup Conspirators Still at ACORN?:

ACORN did the right thing in firing employees who advised a couple on the finer legal points of establishing a child prostitution ring but ACORN officials who covered up a nearly $1 million embezzlement for eight years still have their jobs, the ACORN 8 declared in a statement today."

The American Spectator : Thank You, Barack Obama

The American Spectator : Thank You, Barack Obama:

As a 64-year-old, lifelong fiscal conservative and Republican since Nixon, may I humbly thank you? In the eight months or so since you took office, you have succeeded in reviving a party, the GOP, that many had left for dead."

American Thinker Blog: One Million Patriots

American Thinker Blog: One Million Patriots:

There were one million patriots packed into the area between the Washington Monument and the U.S.Capitol in Washington, D.C. on 9/12, and all David Axelrod could say was, “They’re wrong.” Denial is a powerful thing. There is only one way I have ever found to break the hold of denial -- keep speaking the truth."

American Thinker: Understanding the Cause of Health Care Inflation

American Thinker: Understanding the Cause of Health Care Inflation:

This is one of those cases in which the imagination is baffled by the facts.' - Adam Smith

Health care inflation is a topic that lends itself to considerable demagoguery and 'straw men arguments' from the left, where it is often attributed to capitalism and the free market. Their solution: more regulation and the creation of a massive new government entitlement program to provide every American with 'comprehensive' health insurance. Unfortunately, this solution will only exacerbate health care inflation as it completely ignores the major causes of the problem -- rising government health care expenditures and increased regulation."

American Thinker: Understanding 'Angry Mobs'

American Thinker: Understanding 'Angry Mobs':

Liberals are having difficulty understanding the grass roots opposition to President Obama's plans for the government takeover of the health care industry, as well as the President's loss of support since his election. Equally disconcerting to liberals was the massive turnout on September 12th to protest a Federal government that is too big, too intrusive, and far too corrupt. As one who attended the September 12th rally at the Capitol, let me offer liberals the following explanation for what is happening."

ACORN Story Grows But Mainstream Media Refuse to Cover It - FOXNews.com

ACORN Story Grows But Mainstream Media Refuse to Cover It - FOXNews.com:

Bruce Springsteen once wrote: “From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come).” I doubt he expected that story of love gone wrong would become ideal political commentary for the group known as ACORN.

The small scandal showing an embarrassing video of Baltimore ACORN staffers looking like they were giving tax advice on how to set up a brothel, is now national news. -- This story has everything you could ever want – corruption, sleazy actions at tax-funded organizations, firings, government ties, sex, hookers. It is a network news director’s dream. Imagine the ratings!

Only almost no one is covering it."

Opinion: So far, Obama's failing miserably - Jeremy Lott - POLITICO.com:

When he ran for president, George W. Bush promised to be a modest reformer at home and a humble representative of the United States on the world stage. The Al Qaeda-organized-and-funded terrorist attacks of eight years ago changed all that. During his presidency, Bush created massive new government bureaucracies, sent troops into two wars and threatened more as part of America’s war on terror."

No, Mr President | The Weekly Standard

It's about time someone knocked the "Chosen One" off his thrown for a few!!!

The Weekly Standard:

In his 60 Minutes interview to be aired tonight, President Obama apparently says, 'I intend to be president for a while and once this bill passes, I own it....I'm the one who's going to be held responsible. So I have every incentive to get this right.'

No, Mr. President. It’s not about you. If legislation passes, you don’t own it.

We all own it. Any health care bill will become part of the U.S. Code, not simply an item on the Obama White House web site. We will all feel its effects. We are all responsible for the future of our country. Here the people rule."

Your Life Is Not Worth Living by Jim Towey on National Review Online

Your Life Is Not Worth Living by Jim Towey on National Review Online:

Pres. Barack Obama needs to ask the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) why its end-of-life planning tool, “Your Life, Your Choices,” deserves circulation throughout its vast health-care system. Despite the controversy that has angered many veterans and enveloped the VA since the “your life is not worth living” message in the document was exposed last month, the VA continues to make it available and has announced its plan to launch an online version of it in the spring of 2010."

American Thinker: 9/12 was a transformative event

American Thinker: 9/12 was a transformative event:

Sometimes an event occurs which is transformative in a way that everyone who sees it or participates in it instantly is aware of. Yesterday's demonstration in Washington DC is one of those rare happenings in my opinion.

The Daily Mail said 2 million Americans participated. My friend Charlie Martin extrapolated from the pictures an attendance figure of 2.3 million."

American Thinker: Just Words

American Thinker: Just Words:

Fact-checking is almost the new national pastime, especially involving President Obama's health care proposals. But what is there to check? What words do we check? Obama's 'plan' is not yet published, and may not even exist in written form. When it comes to written, proposed legislation, there are multiple plans to choose from; which one is the plan? More significantly, the most important words involving any piece of modern legislation come after that legislation has been signed into law."

Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending in 'tea-party' demonstration | Mail Online:

As many as one million people flooded into Washington for a massive rally organised by conservatives claiming that President Obama is driving America towards socialism.

The size of the crowd - by far the biggest protest since the president took office in January - shocked the White House.

Demonstrators massed outside Capitol Hill after marching down Pennsylvania Avenue waving placards and chanting 'Enough, enough'."

Op-Ed Columnist - Boy, Oh, Boy - NYTimes.com

Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND!!??? What, we don't agree with his "IDEAS" and we are all racist??? Is this all you've got??? This is it? Name calling....???

Op-Ed Columnist - Boy, Oh, Boy - NYTimes.com:

The normally nonchalant Barack Obama looked nonplussed, as Nancy Pelosi glowered behind.

Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” at a president who didn’t."

Tens of Thousands Protest Obama Initiatives at Capitol

Why do they insist these are only "Conservative" protesters? I've been to two thus far, and the word "Party" doesn't exist.....they are rich and poor, democrat, republican, libertarian and independent with one thought in common...this is OUR land.....it's time you listened to the will of the people.....it's three simple words, "We the People".....WE THE PEOPLE!

Tens of Thousands Protest Obama Initiatives at Capitol:

Tens of thousands of conservative protesters, many complaining that the nation is racing toward socialism, massed outside the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, angrily denouncing President Obama's health-care plan and other initiatives as threats to the Constitution.

The crowd -- loud, animated and sprawling -- gathered at the West Front of the Capitol after a march along Pennsylvania Avenue NW from Freedom Plaza. Invocations of God and former president Ronald Reagan by an array of speakers drew loud cheers that echoed across the Mall. On a windy, overcast afternoon, hundreds of yellow 'Don't Tread on Me' flags flapped in the breeze."

Tens of thousands attend broad protest of government in nation's capital:

WASHINGTON -- A sea of protesters filled the west lawn of the Capitol and spilled onto the National Mall yesterday in the largest rally against President Barack Obama since he took office, a culmination of a summer-long season of protests that began with opposition to a health care overhaul and grew into a broader dissatisfaction with government."
