In response to what some opponents see as a Congress that doesn’t represent their interests, State Legislators are looking to the nearly forgotten American political tradition of nullification as a way to reject any potential national health care program that may be coming from Washington. In 2010, residents of Arizona will be voting on a State Constitutional Amendment that would let them effectively opt out of any proposed national health care plan. Legislatures in Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania are also considering similar State Constitutional Amendments.

The Senate on Tuesday rejected an amendment that would ban federal funding of abortion under the health care bill. After days of debate, the Senate voted 54-45 to table the amendment, effectively killing the proposal that Sens. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) introduced to keep taxpayer dollars from paying for insurance plans that cover abortion.

Does “sexual liberty” trump the Constitutional right to religious liberty? Chai Feldblum, President Obama’s choice for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, believes so. This week a senate committee will vote on her nomination to this important commission that rules on issues of “discrimination” in America’s workplaces.

The British newspaper the Guardian reported a bombshell from Copenhagen today as a leaked document known as the “Danish text” revealed plans by “rich” nations to allow themselves higher greenhouse emissions while cutting them for developing nations. UN talks in Copenhagen are said to now be in “disarray.”

John Fund at the Wall Street Journal brings some much-needed truth and perspective on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s deception in the health care debate. I’m talking about Reid’s attempt to vilify Republicans for opposing their attempt to socialize health care in America by claiming Republicans are always on the wrong side of history, i.e. fighting for slavery and segregation.

The latest Gallup poll finds President Barack Obama’s approval rating comes in at 47%–the lowest of any president at this point in their administration. Perhaps most Americans have indeed awakened to the fact that we have a radical Marxist in the White House who despises American values.

Democrat health care “reform” plans intend to create a maze of bureaucracy that they somehow imagine will be “efficient” (efficient at keeping Americans from getting care, perhaps) but will bog Americans down in a red-tape nightmare like those in socialist countries.

If you’re a cat love as I am, you’ll find this very cute. If you’re not and you don’t, then there may not be any hope for you.

Who are the czars running America today, and where did they come from? Find out as Matt Spalding from the Heritage Foundation, author of We Still Hold These Truths, examines the growth of unelected Czars in Federal government and why they threaten our individual liberty.

Calling the man-made global warming crusade a hoax isn’t fair to hoaxes. This is and always has been a scam perpetrated by the evil upon the naïve. It isn’t about the environment it’s about power. Have you ever noticed how the apostles of man-made global warming use private jets and limos going to paved-over acres of paved-over rain-forest to hold self-promoting conferences? These are hypocrites masquerading as humanitarians holding humanity hostage with a huge hoax.
