The Rapid City Journal reported yesterday that Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) released a statement regarding his support for the unconstitutional government health care bill in congress. It was, shall we say, very interesting. While Johnson says he wants to be “on the right side of history” with his health care vote, he has made it overwhelmingly clear that he could not be more on the wrong side of history–with all the failures of socialism.

If our society chooses to embrace the notion that the unborn only matter when they are wanted (and affordable), it is only a matter of time before we allow ourselves to be persuaded that the human rights of infants, the disabled, the elderly, the poor, the unproductive, or even the unemployed are similarly mutable. This way of looking at our fellow humans – no matter how cleverly disguised by the rhetoric of “rights” or “dignity” – is evidence of a poisonous and depraved state of mind. Read more »

Attorney Generals from Florida and South Carolina are joining the Virginia AG (and the Landmark Legal Foundation) in warning congress not to proceed with this unconstitutional plan to ram through this unconstitutional government health care bill. Most of the 50 states are already moving to protect their citizens from this unconstitutional bill, even as socialists in congress grit their teeth and prepare to ram it down America’s throat.

Would you like to shell out an average of $12,000 for a health insurance policy each year–whether you get any help from your employer or the government or not? The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says that honor will be yours if socialists in Washington D.C. get their way and ram through this government health care plan. The plan also contains the seeds of the complete destruction of our free market system which will force everyone onto the government dole. Read more »

Do you know how bad is Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plan to wave her imperial wand and deem the unconstitutional government health care bill “passed?” It’s so bad that even one of her floor whips (whose job it is to whip up votes to support the Speaker’s initiatives) Rep. Stephen Lynch, a Democrat from the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, says it stinks. Read more »

The Attorney General of Virginia is the latest state official to warn congress not to pull yet another fast one in their attempt to ram government health care down the throats of the American people. AG Kenneth Cuccinelli has sent a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, warning her there would be a constitutional challenge if she attempted to ram through government health care without a vote of the people’s representatives.

Over and over and over again, we hear how fear mongers and wing-nuts are falsely claiming there are “death panels” where death panels do not exist. Keith Olbermann goes so far as to claim that rather than death panels, there are “life panels.” He just doesn’t seem to get it that not everyone’s experience is like the one he had with his father’s passing, where his father’s wishes were upheld. Olbermann just doesn’t seem to get it that some people, instead, get to find out just how real the “death panel” concept is and has been for some time now. Read more »

Idaho became the first state to fully pass a measure protecting its citizens from the unconstitutional government health care plan Democrats in congress are hell-bent on passing. Some 37 other states are also working on similar legislation. One has to wonder if the rogue socialists in Washington D.C. give a whit about what the American people think anymore. Read more »

A new Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report finds new HIV cases among homosexuals is more than 44 X that of heterosexual men and more than 40 times that of women. The rate of primary and secondary syphilis among MSM is more than 46 times that of other men and more than 71 times that of women. Yet the “mainstream” media and our government are silent, failing to warn people away from this deadly behavior. Read more »

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) reveals yet another dark side to the plan for government health care: eugenics. Liberals in congress want taxpayer funded abortion included in the health care bill so more children can be killed off before they’re born, thus saving a lot of money. Read more »

This morning radio talk show giant Rush Limbaugh took the rare step of giving out the phone number to congress and asked his listeners to call their representatives to share their displeasure over the intended government takeover of health care…and the House phone system nearly crashed.

According to the British Telegraph, President Barack Obama is encouraging Democrats in congress to vote “No” on the government takeover of health care. Read more »

A survey conducted by the physician research group Medicus Firm has found that if Democrats pass the government health care bill, nearly 1/3 of all practicing physicians say they may quit practicing medicine. If a public option were included, the number jumps to 45.7%. Democrats are obviously trying to push us out of the frying pan and into the fire with this socialized medicine plan. Read more »

Tea Party groups in New Jersey have been trying to recall Rep. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) for his support of unconstitutional efforts to implement government health care, but they have been blocked by state officials who have ruled that the state constitution–which allows for recalls of officials–is unconstitutional. (Yes, you heard right.) But now an appeals court has ruled in favor of the citizens of New Jersey that the state must accept a recall petition. Read more »

Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak admits what other Democrats lie about: There’s no doubt that the Democrat Party is the sort of pro-choice party…So here’s [within the government health care bill] their opportunity, they’re taking their opportunity to push that idea, that there should be federal funding, or tax credits, or subsidies for abortion.” Read more »

While more than 30 states are considering passing legislation to block government health care from being forced on their states, Virginia has become the first state to get such a bill to the governor’s office. On an 80-17 vote, the Virginia legislature has sent their bill to the governor, who is expected to sign it into law. Read more »

Social Security, the cornerstone of socialism in America, has been patched up and shored up for years…and now we’re finally about to begin cashing in the IOUs from all the money the liberals have raided from Social Security over the years…only there’s no money there to cash in those IOUs. Welcome to socialism! Read more »

This hilarious video merges current events in Washington D.C. with the Jerry Seinfeld universe to produce “Obamafeld.” My favorite scenes are where President Barack Obama “talks to” Republicans, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi “invites” the news cameras into the political discussions. Of course, the Joe Biden cameos are priceless, too. Read more »

When Barack Obama was sworn in as president, he chose the bible that Abraham Lincoln used on which to take the oath of office. A little over a year later, as President Obama strong arms House and Senate Democrats to pass a health care bill that will nationalize 17 percent of our economic lives — a bill that many Americans don’t want — we ought to recall Lincoln’s famous words at Gettysburg.

Obama at the Bat is a stirring tale of a man at bat, under tremendous pressure to hit a home run. Can he do it? Will he pull it off? Will the crowd go wild…or go home crushed? Read more »
