The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : John Kerry's Political Instincts on Cap and Trade:
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) told MSNBC that he is 'convinced' the Senate cap-and-trade bill he introduced with Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) yesterday has a chance to pass. According to the Hill, Kerry said, ''I'm convinced it has a shot.' Kerry-Boxer is even more stringent in some respects than Waxman-Markey, calling for a 20 percent reduction in carbon emissions compared to the 17 percent required by the bill that narrowly passed the House."

A cherished maxim of self-congratulatory liberals is the notion that diplomacy and negotiation are always the best course of action because 'as long as the two sides are talking, they are not shooting.' That was not true on the morning of December 7, 1941. On that very day, Japanese diplomats were in Washington to continue ongoing talks for peace between Japan and America, as Japanese planes were slaughtering some 2,400 American servicemen at Pearl Harbor."

RealClearPolitics - Cap And Trade Vote Shows Promise, Peril For Both Parties:
Back in April, I wrote a piece arguing that the Democrats would have trouble governing despite their large majorities in both Houses of Congress. My theory was that because so many Democrats hail from Republican-leaning districts, Democrats would struggle to cobble together majorities on contentious issues that divided along partisan lines.
The recent vote on so-called “Cap and Trade” legislation demonstrates this difficulty. It only passed narrowly: 219-212. Eight Republicans voted for the bill, while forty-four Democrats voted against it."

Kennedy: 9/12 Protests Could Trigger Assassinations:
Citing the assassinations of uncles John F. and Robert F. Kennedy, Rep. Patrick Kennedy accused grassroots conservatives of 'very, very dangerous' behavior that could lead to violence against public officials.
'When they go and stoop to the level of the vitriolic rhetoric that we've seen this debate turn up, it's very, I think, dangerous to the fabric of our country,' the Rhode Island Democrat said according to The Providence Journal."

IRVING TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Each day before the school bus comes to pick up the neighborhood's children, Lisa Snyder did a favor for three of her fellow moms, welcoming their children into her home for about an hour before they left for school.
Regulators who oversee child care, however, don't see it as charity. Days after the start of the new school year, Snyder received a letter from the Michigan Department of Human Services warning her that if she continued, she'd be violating a law aimed at the operators of unlicensed day care centers."

'Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas,' the president said earlier this year. 'Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and probably not in yours. But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom.'"

American Thinker: Redefining Sarah Palin:
As President Obama fumbled badly at the UN and G-8 last week, Sarah Palin began redefining herself as presidential timber.
When seasoned chess watchers see a game in progress, they can often pinpoint a critical moment when the players go from maneuvering for position, to a fast end-game of kill or be killed. In the shadow battle between Obama and Ahmadinejad I believe we just saw the transition to the end game at the United Nations. Obama skeptics (as opposed to his media butt-kissers) came to pretty much the same judgment: His UN performance was 'sophomoric.' Obama looked like dead meat talking to all the vultures who roost and caw on the craggy peaks of world politics. Sarkozy openly ridiculed him, and Obama didn't even notice. His nose got in the way."

I was watching FoxNews after Obama's UN speech and Dick Morris was the interviewee. While we all know that Obama has made numerous mistakes to historical references in his various speeches over these agonizing months, Morris made a comment that struck me as one of the most insightful lessons of history that has been completely overlooked by Obama and his advisors. Morris said,

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:
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."

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:
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:
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."

The racial hate expressed against me all came from the left, people who support President Obama's radial socialist agenda."

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.

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."

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."

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!

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."

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."

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."

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."
