MEDIA MATTERS

'Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus'
Newspaper deifies American president, dismisses Christ

This messianic image of Obama was highlighted by ABC's Jake Tapper

An editorial in a Danish newspaper, citing both foreign and domestic policies pursued by President Barack Obama, is deifying the American political leader.

"Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus – if we have to play that absurd Christmas game," opined the unsigned editorial yesterday in Politiken, which boasts of being Denmark's largest newspaper, in publication since 1884.

The English translation is provided online by Julian Isherwood.

It continued, "But it is probably more meaningful to insist that with today's domestic triumph, that he has already assured himself a place in the history books – a space he has good chances of expanding considerably in coming years."

The newspaper says Obama "is provocative in insisting on an outstretched hand, where others only see animosity."

And while "his tangible results in the short time that he has been active – are few and far between," his words "remain in the consciousness of their audience and have long-term effects."

(Story continues below)




"He comes from humble beginnings and defends the weak and vulnerable, because he can identify himself with their conditions," the newspaper said. "And no we are not thinking of Jesus Christ, whose birthday has just been celebrated – but rather the President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama."

Here comes the (narcissist in) chief: Explore what makes 'the One' and only Barack Obama tick

The editorial noted that "the idea was naturally that the comparison between Jesus and Obama" would be made. "If such a comparison were to be made, it would, of course, inevitably be to Obama's advantage."




The editorial, written on the occasion of a legislative vote in favor of Obama's plan for a health care takeover by the government, cited "the right of every American not to be financially shipwrecked when their health fails" as well as the "biggest ever financial support package in America's history, a major disarmament agreement and the quickest-ever re-establishment of American reputation."

"On the other hand, we have Jesus' miracles that everyone still remembers, but which only benefitted a few. At the same time, we have the wonderful parables about his life and deeds that we know from the New Testament, but which have been interpreted so differently over the past 2000 years that it is impossible to give an unequivocal result of his work," the newspaper said.

"Well we all knew that this day would come," wrote Jeremy Wiggins on the American Family Association blogs.

"We knew that someone on the left side of the political spectrum would ultimately try to compare Barack Obama to Jesus," he wrote.

"What I want to know is this: How is any comparison made between a person who has done NOTHING and someone who has done EVERYTHING? President Obama has bowed before kings, but Jesus will have kings bowing before Him, because HE is THE King of Kings. I guess the closest comparison I could come up with would be comparing Obama to Jesus is like comparing an ant to a skyscraper, not only is one VASTLY greater than the other, but they are not even in the same category to compare!" he wrote.

WND has reported on the multiple references and suggestions of Obama's diety, including when British recording artist Sting said President Obama could be the answer to the world's problems – the divine answer.

"In many ways, he's sent from God, because the world's a mess," he said in interview with the Associated Press as the time.


"The Truth" by Michael D'Antuono

Earlier, it was an associate editor at a college newspaper who wrote, "Obama is my Jesus."

Maggie Mertens, the associate editor at the campus paper at Massachusetts' Smith College, said, "Obama is my homeboy. And I'm not saying that because he's black – I'm saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters T-shirts from a couple years ago that said, 'Jesus is my homeboy.' Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus."

Her confession came in the Smithsophian's commentary section recently under the headline: "I Will Follow Him: Obama As My Personal Jesus."

"While you may be overtly religious and find this to be idol-worshipping, or may be overtly politically correct and just know that everything in that sentence could be found offensive, I'm afraid it's true anyway," she wrote.

Also, an artist who planned to unveil a portrait of Obama in a Christ-like pose with a crown of thorns upon his brow canceled the event due to "overwhelming public outrage."

And it was Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan who declared last year that when Obama talks, "the Messiah is absolutely speaking."

There also was the development during Obama's campaign when a website called "Is Barack Obama the Messiah?" captured the wave of euphoria that followed the Democratic senator's remarkable rise.

The site was topped by an Obama quote strategically ripped from a Jan. 7, 2008, speech at Dartmouth College just before the New Hampshire Primary in which he told students, "A light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote" for Obama.

The site includes this:

King: ACORN ‘Bigger Than Watergate’


Rep. King: ACORN ‘Bigger Than Watergate’

Rep. Steve King says the ACORN saga is “the largest corruption crisis in the history of America” — yet he predicts Congress and the Obama administration won’t take action against the scandal-plagued community organizing group.

"It's thousands of times bigger than Watergate because Watergate was only a little break-in by a couple of guys," the Iowa Republican said in an interview with The American Spectator.

"By the time we pull ACORN out by its roots, America's going to understand just how big this is."

Hidden camera videos emerged in September showing ACORN (Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now) employees advising a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute how to establish a brothel and finance it with government grants.

But it also is accused of political corruption, election fraud, racketeering, money laundering, and countless other violations of the law, according to the American Spectator article written by Matthew Vadum, senior editor at Capital Research Center, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

Rep. King, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Committee Chairman John Conyers will not investigate ACORN and a probe of the group is “not going to come out of” Chairman Charles Rangel’s Ways and Means Committee or Chairman Barney Frank’s House Financial Services Committee “or from anybody in the Senate. They're going to protect ACORN.

“Congress is deliberately dragging its heels on ACORN,” and Democrats in Congress are “using everything to protect ACORN because that's the machine that keeps them in office,” said King.

The congressman is especially angry over U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon's ruling in favor of ACORN on Dec. 11.

Gershon issued a temporary injunction prohibiting Congress from cutting off funding for ACORN, ruling that the funding ban ordered by Congress was unconstitutional in that it singled out ACORN for punishment without trial. The Department of Justice has reluctantly filed an appeal.

Gershon's ruling is "sweeping and far-reaching, and she even opined that ACORN has some kind of an implicit right to future contracts because they've succeeded in bidding on contracts that were similarly competitive," King said in the interview.

He added that he doesn't hold out much hope that the Obama administration or Congress will decide to investigate ACORN, saying: "This is one-party gangster government and they know what they're doing.”

monthly abortion premium

By: Dan Weil

House Republican Leader John Boehner, Ohio, says Senate Democrats’ healthcare bill doesn’t keep federal money from financing abortions, as they claim.
“Fixed it is not,” Boehner writes on his web site.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s, D-Nev., latest healthcare ‘manager’s amendment’ would still levy a new ‘abortion premium’ fee on Americans under the Democrats’ healthcare plan.”
Special: Get Sarah Palin’s New Book – Incredible FREE Offer -- Click Here Now.
The amendment doesn’t prohibit abortion coverage for federally subsidized plans participating in the insurance exchange, Boehner says.
“Instead, the amendment includes layers of accounting gimmicks that demand that plans participating in the exchange or the new government-run plan … must establish ‘allocation accounts’ when elective abortion is a covered benefit,” Boehner writes.

“Everyone enrolled in these plans must pay a monthly abortion premium, and these funds will be used to pay for the elective abortion services.”
To be sure, the bill does allow states to opt out of the requirement is they pass laws to prohibit insurance coverage of abortion, Boehner writes.
“But it’s a sham because it does nothing to prevent one state’s tax dollars from paying for elective abortions in other states.”
Boehner isn’t the only abortion opponent upset with the Senate bill.
National Right to Life Committee legislative director Douglas Johnson said in a statement, “The new abortion language solves none of the fundamental abortion-related problems with the Senate bill, and it actually creates some new abortion-related problems.”
But abortion opponents can take heart. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., and about 40 other Democrats in the House made their support for healthcare reform contingent on a strong anti-abortion provision.
So a bill without such a provision is unlikely to gain final approval in the House, let alone the Senate.

Killers of Salvation Army Major


Manhunt for Killers of Salvation Army Major
Monday, December 28, 2009

Arkansas police continue to search for two suspects in the shooting death of a Salvation Army major on Christmas Eve.
Salvation Army Major Philip Wise was killed outside the organization’s community center in North Little Rock, Arkansas as his three young children looked on.

Wise had worked for the Salvation Army for 16 years and had been at the Little Rock location for 3 years.
"He was so important to that community," said North Little Rock Police Department spokesman Terry Kuykendahl told FoxNews.com.

"This has been a tremendous blow to (them)."
Thanks to private citizens' donations, police are offering a reward of up to $3,000 for any information leading to the suspects' arrests.
The suspects are described as two African-American males and are believed to be 'armed with handguns.' Police are following up on leads, but are asking the public to help them by contacting them with any bit of information they may have.

Police said the suspects were last seen running on foot towards a government-funding housing community in the area.
One co-worker described Wise as a "big, old teddy bear" who had a passion for music, Kuykendahl told FoxNews.com. Wise was well-known in the community for his work with disadvantaged children.

"Our entire community is saddened by this horrible crime," said North Little Rock Police Department Chief Danny Bradley, according to Todaysthv.com.
"Investigators will be working through the weekend on this case and we'll have a relentless effort to try and find the people who committed this horrible crime."
Arkansas police said two men accosted Philip Wise and his children — ages, 4, 6 and 8 — about 4 p.m. Thursday. He says one man pulled a gun, demanded money and then shot Wise.
Wise's wife, Cindy, also a major in the Salvation Army, was inside the center and called 911, but he died on the scene.

Public Radio- the comment was "even though lol the American people didn't want it lol it passed;the Republicans were furious lol"

Harry Reid's utopian fantancy ,which includes delusion of grandeur, said Republicans didn't want health care reform and thanks to the Democratic Gang they saved many lives to come despite the angry Republicians and the misinformed
American majority which will come around later. The American majority against Obamacare will change their mind later when they see how wonderful the Obamacare is. Harry sold this obamacare as a moral crusade when
unterior motives of trojan horses for power executive transformation nationalization really were the agenda. This law sets the framework to circumvent the Constitution and Congress. It is a power grab to create a Marrxist
government which will end up more totalitarian. The Public Option would have made it occur that much faster. If we want to have the "entitlements and protection they dream up" we are mandated, for our good, to give
up whatever rights and Constitutionalism them deem necessary. We will be happy once it's is done, although we resist now. The smaller entitled Americans have a great victory for more stuff. Obama plans to hire a lot of these people and get them on a payroll that creates no wealth for America.
America should not spend what it doesn't have like a shopaholic. Catastrophe like Dick Morris said is near. The percentaged of entitled non-workers will reach a breaking point.............

When you get a chance and watch some of u-tubes abortions flicks and try to make an argument for the taking of these lives. Most mammals cherish their unborn and babies in a way that shames Humans.

How did We Get a Muslim President-Will Someone Explain! We're we Asleep!


A talented artist for several years had painted ornaments to be hung on the various White House Christmas trees. The White House sends out an invitation to send an ornament and informs the artist of the theme for the year.
The artist got her letter from the White House, which said that they would not be called Christmas trees this year. They would be called "holiday" trees! And, to please not send any ornaments painted with a religious theme. The artist declined.
Christmas is one of the cornerstones of our religious foundation and our heritage. This is just another Obama-attempted "nail in the coffin" of the United States—Barack Hussein Obama will transform our great country into a third rate socialist state, unless we continue the fight! Thank you for your part in this battle.
In case you somehow missed Mr. Obama’s statement: "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation." He plans to take away our religious foundation as quickly as possible, including the mentioning of Christ at Christmas.
Pass this on please......................

STOP THIS HEADLINE!!!!!






Muslim President Obama Hussein’s Bill





Forced Through the Senate CHRISTMAS EVE !!!







70% of American’s Horrified!



Vow to REPEAL ! IT!

Merry Christmas and Shivers down your Spine!

Obamacare Will Alienate Americans

Obamacare Will Alienate Americans
Tuesday, 22 Dec 2009 03:58 PMArticle Font Size By: Dick Morris

Obama's healthcare bill, the poisoned Kool-Aid making its way through the Senate, will not confer any of its supposed benefits on Americans until 2013. But they will find themselves chafing at its restrictions and paying its taxes immediately after the law takes effect. Then, they will see no gain, but plenty of pain, for the next three years.

This odd juxtaposition of "suffer now, benefit later" is the byproduct of the administration's sleight of hand in specifying ten years worth of cuts and taxes in the legislation, but deferring its benefits for the first four years. By comparing six years of spending with ten years of taxing, it managed to appear deficit neutral under the rules of the Congressional Budget Office. In fact, the annual revenues fall far short of covering any single year's worth of spending, adding to the deficit for each of the last six years over the next ten, but, viewing the decade as a whole, it appears deficit neutral.

Yet the political price is hardly neutral. Democrats who misguidedly vote for this monstrosity will face immediate political repercussions.

The harshest of these backlashes will come from the elderly who will suddenly visit their doctors and be told "no" when they ask for therapies or treatments. The rationing of medical care will start immediately on enactment and, one hopes, the outraged phone calls will start to descend on those whose votes enabled it.

The first "no" will hit the ten million elderly who now rely on Medicare Advantage to pay for the care Medicare itself does not cover. In a payoff to AARP, Obama gutted this program in his bill, ending over $100 billion in federal premium subsidies. These ten million voters will get the grim news that their premiums are going up and their benefits dropping early in 2010. The goal, of course, is to force them to drop Medicare Advantage and sign up, instead, for Medigap insurance — offered, not coincidentally, by the AARP — which provides less coverage at higher cost.

Young people without health insurance can expect to start writing $750 annual checks to Washington to pay the fines written into the bill. (And, after the conference committee finishes its work, the fines may be higher.)

All Americans will soon find their insurance premiums rising as a result of the bill. The young, uninsured will not buy policies. Why should they? Why not just pay the $750 fines each year? Why pay between two percent and 10 percent of their household income before subsidies kick in? It makes no financial sense for anyone making more than $30,000 to pay for coverage. (And most of those under that threshold will be covered by Medicaid, not by private insurance.)

There is no reason for the young to buy private insurance. The legislation requires that health insurers take all comers and not raise rates based on pre-existing conditions. So the young can get coverage when they need it, having only paid $750 per year beforehand.

The difference in cost will, of course, be borne by families throughout America who will see their health insurance premiums increase. President Obama and his Democratic rubber stamps may appreciate that they are not raising taxes on the middle class, just raising mandatory health insurance premiums, but the distinction is likely to be lost on swing voters.

From now on, any increase in health insurance premiums will become the political responsibility of the Obama administration. As Gen. Colin Powell once said of Iraq, "You break it. You own it." Since these premiums have been rising by an average of 10% per year for more than the past decade, this is a legacy most politicians would sensibly avoid if they could.

IMPEACH OBAMA and Commie Judgies and Czars in CONGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!


TELL THE SENATE TO REPEAL SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE
BETTER KNOWN AS "OBAMACARE":
SEND YOUR FAXES for 2010 NOW!


All year long, we will be leading the efforts of our members to contact every single Senator, to DEMAND that they REPEAL Harry Reid’s socialistic ObamaCare bill -- and as a result, faxes will FLOOD those Senate offices ALL YEAR LONG!
We’ve been able to keep the pressure on both Democrats and Republicans, letting them know that WE ARE WATCHING THEM and that we DEMAND they REPEAL this radical monstrosity of a bill. And the good news is... we ARE having an effect on them!
WE CAN STILL REPEAL THIS BILL. The bill pushed by Obama, and passed by leftist Democrats in the House, is getting the full support of every Democrat in the U.S. Senate; and with all 60 of those votes, they will be able to pass the NEXT cloture vote coming up soon...

Which means that we can STILL Repeal it -- IF we can vote out every Commie Dem. Senator with our demands for a REPEAL to end it!

Harry Reid has now introduced what is called his “manager’s amendment” -- the “secret deal” that will serve as a substitute for the decoy that was the 2,074-page bill the Senate has been debating for the past three weeks. So is this bill any better?

NO IT STINKS:

•The bill slashes hundreds of billions from Medicare to fund a new government program - cuts to hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices that care for our seniors – cuts that a pair of Senate Democrats voted repeatedly to reject.•The bill includes massive tax increases on American families and businesses at a time of double digit unemployment. •The bill breaks the President’s pledge that no American earning under $250,000 would see their taxes increase under this plan….a pledge that five Democrats voted to uphold just last Tuesday.•The bill allows for the funding of abortions, violating the longstanding policy of the Hyde amendment. The language is significantly weaker than Nelson-Stupak amendment which seven Senate Democrats and 64 House Democrats supported.•The bill includes a massive new entitlement -the CLASS Act - which the Democrat chairman of the Budget Committee described as a Ponzi scheme. A bipartisan majority (including 11 Democrats) voted to strike the CLASS Act -- and they should withhold their support. •The billl imposes massive burdens to many states at a time when states are already struggling. At the same time, it gives special treatment to a select few states, so that taxpayers in Virginia, Arkansas, and Ohio, will pay higher taxes to subsidize the Medicaid programs of favored few (Nebraska Massachusetts, and Vermont).Voted Out all DEMOCRATIC COMMIES CONGRESSMEN this coming 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REPEAL THIS LAW

IMPEACH OBAMA and Commie Judgies and Czars in CONGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE FIGURED HIM OUT

WE FIGURED HIM OUT!

—by Ben Stein





Why is President Barrack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?



Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:



The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008.

They wanted so much to believe Barrack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.

They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.



They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student.

They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.



The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.



Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth.

Barrack Obama is a super likable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East , way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.



Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.



The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

These are perilous times.. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation.

Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America ..



Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly Hills and Malibu . He writes "Ben Stein's Diary" for every issue of The American Spectator.




(The title "WE FIGURED HIM OUT!" does not apply to me. I knew all about him for over a year. I'm teed off at those who put him there, for being either too lazy or too stupid to know better.

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29

Born 1776, Died 2008 US of A
It does not hurt to read this several times.



Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning last November's Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million
McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Reid ObamaCare Compromise A Sham

Reid ObamaCare Compromise A Sham; Vote May Come Any Day


Final Senate vote on ObamaCare could happen in a matter of days.

Theyre doing it again. Barack Obama, Harry Reid and the ultra-liberal majority in the U.S. Senate are trying to ram the latest version of ObamaCare down the throats of the American people before leaving Washington for their Christmas vacation

Thats literally just days from now.

And, like previous versions of government-run health care legislation, the latest ObamaCare bill Harry Reids so-called "compromise" was crafted behind closed doors, under the cover of darkness.

The American people havent even been allowed to read or see Reids compromise bill neither have a large majority of Senators who could be forced to vote on it any day now.

Of course, Obama, Reid and the mainstream media are reporting that this so-called compromise version of ObamaCare means the death of the "public option (Washington speak for government-run health insurance).

Dont believe it for a second.

The harsh reality is that Harry Reid's latest health care reform scheme, instead of eliminating or weakening the so-called "public option," actually increases the government's stranglehold over our nation's health care system... over your familys health care decisions.

But don't take our word for it.

Ultra-liberal Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), a major proponent of ObamaCare, calls Harry Reid's so-called compromise bill "an unvarnished, complete victory for people like me. Its the mother of all public options. ... Never mind the camels nose; weve got his head and neck under the tent.

What more needs to be said? This latest compromise is nothing more than yet another brazen con job... yet another fraud designed to shove government-run health care down our throats.

You can help stop Harry Reids cynical ploy by barraging the politicians in Washington with the most effective grassroots lobbying tool available to patriotic Americans like us... personalized blast faxes.

Join CFIF in telling them, in no uncertain terms, that the American people are not fooled by this latest ploy to shove government-run health care down the throats of the American people. Demand they defeat ObamaCare once and for all, including Reids so-called compromise the mother of all public options.

Senator Joe Lieberman is talking

Glenn: Play a little bit of the statement. Here's his statement.
Voice: in Washington, where Senator Joe Lieberman is talking about health care. Let's listen in.
Lieberman: The so called public option, government run insurance program is out and the Medicare buy in, which I thought would jeopardize Medicare, cost taxpayers billions of dollars, increase our deficit, is out, and there's no other chance to bring things like that in, then I'm I'm going to be in a position where I can say I'm getting to a position where I can say where I wanted to say all along, that I'm ready to vote for health care reform. My whole point has been here that the President laid out a couple of big goals for this process. Costs are down for individuals, families, businesses, our government, our economy of health care and, secondly, bring a lot of people in who can't afford health insurance now. The basic core bill does that. I think some of the other things were going to add to our debt, increase taxes.

Glenn: Okay. Hang on just a second. So, how are we getting it? How are we getting it? What are we getting? What are we getting?
Pat: You've got me.
Glenn: What is in the bill, then?
Pat: You've got me. No public option, no Medicare buy in, just perfection and awesomeness.
Glenn: So, what is it? What is it that doesn't cost anything yet, covers everyone, and reduces, reduces Medicare?

Pat: And reduces cost.
Stu: Because he was worried about if it went through Medicare, it would ruin Medicare and cost too much, but now that it's not called Medicare, it not going to cost anything. It's going to save us money.

Pat: Now it's free.
Stu: Now it's free. It's negative money.
Pat: Somebody is paying us money. I don't know who, but somebody's paying us money to vote for this thing.

Glenn: Was it the pressure? Was it the pressure? I mean, I know what I know what it was. I mean, this is where Joe Lieberman and I had a falling out and Joe Lieberman and I are friends and we respected each other, but I I really believe that Joe Lieberman left his honor at the door at the Monica Lewinsky story. Joe and I were friends. I mean, it was not like we were hanging out where each other, you know, taking walks on Saturday, but we were friendly and respected each other. Joe Lieberman helped me get into Yale. And I said to Joe Lieberman during the Monica Lewinsky story, Joe, very few people have the right message at the right time. Character does matter. You are the linchpin here. If you do the right thing, the rest will follow you. And I gave him Profiles of Courage and he pushed it back on the table at me. And we were off the air. This was a personal note. And he said, I've read it. And I said, I want you to read it one more time. And I shoved it back to him, and he walked out and didn't take Profiles of Courage with him. And we all know what he did at that time. He gave a tough speech, but he caved. And I'm convinced you'll be the first Jewish vice president nominee. You, sir, will be the vice presidential nominee under Al Gore. I'm convinced that's the deal that happened. I have no evidence of that. I just feel it. The only time Joe Lieberman he has found himself in critical positions many times. One time he has stood and he has stood with our troops and he's paid a great price, but that's the one time. Every other time Joe Lieberman folds like a house of cards. He folds. I gave him the benefit of doubt on this one, but I shouldn't have. Here he is again. He folds. I asked Senator Lieberman, Where in the Constitution do you find this, sir? Where? Answer the question. Don't tell me about you have Constitutional scholars. Don't tell me about, well, how this has to be done or how this is deficit neutral. Answer the question. Where in the Constitution do you find this, sir? If you cannot, then do your damn job to protect the Constitution. These people in Washington are shaping the Constitution instead of allowing the Constitution to shape the country. It's backwards and wrong.

cost each and every American family literally thousands of dollars per year

Do you believe the United States of America should allow an international agency, dominated by foreign despots and dictators that for the most part hate our great country, to impose massive global energy taxes on your home, your automobile, your TV set and everything else American families consume ?

Well, that could be a reality if President Obama gets his way.

Here is what’s going down...

Members of the Obama Administration and a bunch of other so-called world leaders are meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark at this very moment... plotting ways to impose job-killing measures, under the guise of so-called Global Warming , that would severely cripple the U.S. economy.

Specifically, the Obama Administration is pushing an international Cap-and-Trade scheme that experts believe will cost each and every American family literally thousands of dollars per year and will do little to nothing to effect climate change.

According to the Los Angeles Times , Jonathan Pershing, the Obama Administration's deputy special envoy for climate change said of the Copenhagen Summit:

"We are committed to achieving the strongest possible outcome in the next two weeks.... There is a deal to be done."

And Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has jumped on the bandwagon as well. The Times added:

"Punctuating the remarks was an announcement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which formally declared greenhouse gases a danger to human health and subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act. ... That decision allows the Obama administration to cut down on emissions even if Congress does not pass legislation dealing with climate change."

Make no mistake: this effort is just another scam to redistribute wealth and you and I are the victims of this horrendous scam.

expanding Medicare will only add to the program's instability

You know what happens when a structure isn't built on a solid foundation--it quickly sinks and collapses. Just as a building can't be constructed on a crumbling foundation, neither can the nation's health care system.

Reports from Washington, D.C., indicate that the U.S. Senate is considering an expansion of Medicare by creating a "buy-in" or "opt-in" program for those ages 55-64, instead of a new public insurance option.

On the surface, this sounds like a workable plan, right? Unfortunately, expanding Medicare will only add to the program's instability—a crumbling foundation. We would like to ensure that health care coverage is built on a solid foundation, and we believe that an insurance exchange and market reforms will provide patients more choices of affordable health care coverage options and better access to care.

The AMA's Patients' Action Network supports health system reform; but Congress needs to fulfill its commitments to current Medicare patients rather than expand its obligations under the program.

Call your senators using the AMA's grassroots hotline at (888) 434-6200. Remind them:

1.An increasing number of doctors have been forced to quit accepting Medicare patients because of the program's burdensome regulations and unstable payment system. Adding more patients to the program will force more physicians to make this different decision.
2.Medicare payment rates have failed to keep pace with the rising costs of providing care, causing some of these costs to be shifted to patients who have commercial insurance coverage. Increasing the number of patients covered by the Medicare program will only increase cost shifting, raising premiums and health care costs for other Americans.
3.Twenty-two percent of current Medicare patients looking for a new primary care physician are having trouble finding one. What will happen when more people join? Expanding Medicare will only make the access to care problems worse.

White House's Acorn Cookies Surprises Republican Lawmaker

White House's Acorn Cookies Surprises Republican Lawmaker
By Chad Pergram
- FOXNews.com
Lawmaker sees 'stark symbolism' in White House's Christmas cookies shaped like nut sharing name with controversial community group

Rep. Steve King brandishes an acorn cookie served at the White House annual Christmas party, Monday, Dec. 7, 2009, (Rep. Steve King)
Any fan of Cookie Monster on Sesame Street knows that "C" is for cookie.

But at the Obama White House, "A" may be for acorn -- as in acorn cookies served at Monday's annual Christmas party.

The chocolate cookies shaped like an acorn were quite a hit with Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.

"I didn't expect to see such stark symbolism," King said in an e-mail.

President Obama worked with the community organizing group ACORN in the mid-90s. But now ACORN faces a host of allegations related to voter fraud in the 2008 election and has been weakened by an undercover expose that shows employees offering tax advice to a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute.

The irony of the White House dishing out acorn-shaped chocolate cookies seemed a little, well, "nutty" to King. The Iowa Republican is one of the loudest voices calling for Congress to investigate ACORN.

King pocketed several of the acorn cookies at the White House soiree and even stowed a few at home in his freezer. King even delivered a real acorn to House Judiciary Committee John Conyers, D-Mich., in an effort to launch a dialogue about the organization's legal woes.

"Bill Clinton redefined a two and a three-letter word," King said, a reference to Clinton's denial of the Lewinsky scandal . "But from the man who wrote 'The Audacity of Hope,' we were served the very redefinition of the word 'audacity.'"

Ahmadinejad corners the Market on Crazy!

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims the United States is attempting to thwart the return of mankind's savior, according to reports from Al Arabiya, a television news station based in Dubai.
Ahmadinejad reportedly claims he has documented evidence that the U.S. is blocking the return of Mahdi, the Imam believed by Muslims to be the savior.
“We have documented proof that they believe that a descendant of the prophet of Islam will raise in these parts and he will dry the roots of all injustice in the world,” Ahmadinejad said during a speech on Monday, according to Al Arabiya.
"They have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the grounds for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.

"He loved Big Brother."

Dear Fellow American,

It may be the most chilling line in 20 th century literature: "He loved Big Brother."

It comes, of course, at the end of George Orwell's masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Winston Smith's spirit of rebellion against an all-controlling, all-providing totalitarian state has been not only crushed, but transformed into its opposite.

Now, Winston's only regret is that he spent so much of his former life in "stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast" -- of the State, that is.

I'm exaggerating only slightly when I say that that is precisely the "change" that President Obama and his Democrat allies hope to effect in American society -- especially in the hearts and minds of every citizen who ever dared to believe, with Ronald Reagan, that "government isn't the solution; it's the problem."

They don't want us to stop resisting Big Government... they want us to love it.

And how do they hope to accomplish that? The same way, in essence, it was done in Orwell's fictional state: through fear -- though they will induce it in a subtler, more widespread, and efficient way than Winston Smith's oppressors.

Will the Obamacrats succeed? Only if we don't fight back.

And we can't wait until the 2010 and 2012 elections to do it. If we do, the burdens of higher taxes, soaring inflation, and Big Government will be too great of an obstacle to overcome.

That's why it's so important for each and every one of us do whatever we can to maintain our financial independence until that happy day when America tells the Obamacrats and Big Brother himself where to go (electorally speaking, of course).

"What's in the bill is not going to work, so get behind closed doors and work something out,"

A group of 10 Senate Democrats, five moderates and five liberals, are working furiously behind the scenes to craft a compromise on the so-called public option plan, or government-funded and administered health care plan, designed to help the uninsured.

"What's in the bill is not going to work, so get behind closed doors and work something out," was the direction Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, gave to the group, according to a senior member of leadership.

"Harry started this process. He called me and said there's five progressives and five moderates - get together and start meeting," Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, said, referring to the leader.

White House officials, including health adviser Nancy Anne DeParle, are near constant fixtures in the Senate hallways and in meetings, working to help find a middle ground. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was even spotted in the Capitol Saturday, buttonholing members. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is regularly in negotiations or contacting members.

And on Sunday, the sales jobs gets much more high profile. The President, himself, will travel to the Capitol to speak to his former Senate colleagues, at the invitation of Reid.

The new negotiating group clearly has approached its job with dogged determination, but finding middle ground has eluded everyone so far.

"We're going to keep meeting, and we're going to meet until midnight if it takes that," Rockefeller promised, but finding a compromise is "a wickedly difficult thing to do."

Rockefeller said he "had a good feeling from it," describing the progress of meetings that took place on three occasions Saturday, alone, with another promised for Sunday afternoon, but both he and other participants said the process will take time.

Rockefeller hinted that the goal of getting a bill done by Christmas could certainly slip, as every other deadline placed on this bill thus far has, but he said he considers it a worthwhile effort that should be given the time it takes to find the votes needed for passage. "I want to get this done by Christmas. I also want 60 votes for it, or else we've wasted two years. So this puts a tremendous secondary and tertiary pressure on all of us. And it makes us redefine how strongly we feel about this or that."

Rockefeller is among the more liberal members of the group of 10, having previously pushed for a robust public option that would have tied reimbursement rates to Medicare, a proposal that died in committee. He has said other compromise efforts, like a triggered public option based on affordability, and nonprofit health care cooperatives do not work. But now he says he's looking at other proposals that would require him to make concessions, though he would not define what those were.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, a member of leadership and key participant in the negotiations, said the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the nonpartisan agency that calculates the budgetary effects of legislation, has been given various proposals to analyze, and members are waiting to see the results, a process that could take one week, he said.

Schumer did not exhibit his normal perky optimism that something would get done, where the public option is concerned, but would only say, "We're making good progress, and it's a long hard slog."

"You can't write a bill based on CBO, you have to write a bill based on what's best for the country and get CBO to score it," Schumer said. "It's all in good faith and good spirit...It's complicated. It's many issues, and it takes awhile," though he would not say he was confident a compromise could be reached.

Reid made a somewhat risky decision to exclude some of the more liberal members of the Caucus, like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, and Sen. Roland Burris, D-IL, both of whom have staked out significantly progressive positions, insistent on a robust public option, but Rockefeller said that was not reason for concern.

"People are open in ways they have not been open before, but some of that could be fatigue," the senator jokingly said, but one member of the group, Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-OH, one of the five liberal members, recently told the Talking Points Memo, "We've compromised the public option three times, maybe four, depending on how you define it. This bill is not going to continue to become more pro-insurance company."

Other members of the group include, on the liberal side: Sens. Tom Harkin, D-IA, and Russ Feingold, D-WI; on the conservative side: Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-LA, Ben Nelson, D-NE, Tom Carper, D-DE, Mark Pryor, D-AR, Blanche Lincoln, D-AR.

And significantly, Rockefeller said Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-CT, is also a member of the group. The Connecticut self-styled independent has said he does not support the public option in any form, fearing a possible massive government bailout at the taxpayers' expense should the program get in trouble financially, but Rockefeller was adamant that Lieberman was at the negotiating table.

Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-ME, the only Republican to vote for any Democratic health care plan so far, attended a meeting with the more moderate members of the larger group. After the meeting, Snowe said, "I'm always talking. It may be possible (to find a compromise), but it depends on how it works." Snowe said moderates were looking to mirror the many insurance options available in the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan, as part of any compromise.

One sign that there is a possibility for compromise -- members and their aides, who are normally talkative with the press, will not give any details of what's being discussed. That generally means negotiators think there is a real chance of success.

Meanwhile, the Senate is poised to take up a controversial amendment as early as Monday offered by Sen. Ben Nelson that would significantly tighten restrictions on federal funds that could be used to pay for abortions. The Nelson amendment, which is co-sponsored by conservative Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-UT, would mirror a House-passed measure that would ban any health care plans from the public health care exchanges that cover abortion. Women who need the procedure would be required to purchase a separate rider.

This issue hits Reid with another significant problem with votes, just as the public option does. Nelson says that if the current language in the Reid healthcare bill is not changed, he will support a final filibuster of the legislation, something for which Reid would need 60 votes to circumvent.

A senior Senate Democratic leadership aide acknowledged the problem and offered the following scenario, "You have the vote and it fails. Then, from there, it's one of two things: you try to craft the compromise on the (Senate) floor, or you do something in conference."

Reid has, thus far, shown an unwillingness to hash out differences, particularly among Democrats, on the Senate floor. Most of what is being negotiated behind the scenes will be put in what is shaping up to be a massive omnibus bill called a "manager's amendment."

It is hard to see how Reid finds the 60 votes necessary to end debate on the $848 billion healthcare bill, but Democrats are certainly trying to find a way to make that happen

STOP Obama's Copenhagen Green TAX!

STOP Obama's Copenhagen Green TAX!

We are DAYS AWAY FROM DISASTER!!
Right now, we must SEIZE THE MOMENT!
Electricity rates are set to increase by at least 30% in the state of PA.

December's Climate Treaty is nearly here, and even though those who respect and honor the free enterprise system in the United States have made tremendous strides and even some victories, even still . . . Barack Obama is going to the Copenhagen Climate Conference on December 9, 2009. He is not there to serve America's interest. He is going to Copenhagen to save the Climate agenda and to announce his pledge that American businesses and citizens will reduce emissions by force if necessary.
THE STAGE IS SET IN COPENHAGEN FOR THE . . .
WORLD CLIMATE ORDER Based on Lies!!

Just two weeks ago an unknown entity hacked into the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia servers and uncovered irrefutable proof that Global Warming Scientists were manipulating and suppressing data to fabricate the Global Warming Hysteria. Many have called this ClimateGate - The final nail in the coffin of Anthropogenic Global Warming.

This is where I need your help IMMEDIATELY!

Prepare for massive HEALTHCARE TAXES

Prepare for massive HEALTHCARE TAXES

By DICK MORRIS

The Obama healthcare initiative will be the biggest unfunded federal mandate on the states in history. It will force dozens of states, particularly in the South, to abandon their low-tax ways and to move toward dramatically higher rates of taxation. It may even force Florida and Texas to impose an income tax!

In the Senate version of the bill, states must expand their Medicaid eligibility to cover everyone with an income that is 133 percent of the poverty level.

The House bill brings it up to 150 percent. But a host of states have kept their state taxes low precisely by so limiting eligibility for Medicaid that it essentially is only for seniors needing long-term care and not for poor younger people who require acute care.

For example, Texas covers only those who make 27 percent of the poverty level or less. Florida covers only 55 percent. Pennsylvania covers only 36 percent. Arkansas covers only 17 percent. North Dakota covers only 62 percent. Nebraska covers only 58 percent. Louisiana covers only 26 percent. Indiana covers only 26 percent.

The revenue required to bring these states up to the 133 percent level in the Senate bill or the 150 percent level in the House would be enormous. Even California only covers up to 106 percent of the poverty level.

All states except for Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin (plus the District of Columbia) will have to raise their eligibility for Medicaid under the Senate healthcare bill. And they will have to pay for part of the cost. Under the House bill, with a higher Medicaid eligibility standard, Massachusetts and Vermont would also have to pay more.

The Medicaid expansion provisions of the Senate bill are complex. In the first year of the program (2013), states must enroll anyone who earns less than 133 percent of the poverty level in their programs. For a family of four, the national average poverty level in 2009 is $22,000 a year. So any family that size that makes less than $29,000 would be eligible for Medicaid.

For the first three years of the program (2013-2015) the federal government would pay for all of the costs of the Medicaid expansion. But starting in the fourth year of operation -- 2016 -- states would be obliged to pay 10 percent of the extra cost.

While Obama has often spoken about how he won't raise taxes on the middle class, his healthcare legislation will require the governors to do so.

Particularly in those states with Democratic governors, it is easy to see how the backlash against these new taxes could fundamentally alter state politics.

The following table is a rough calculation of the cost each state will have to bear once it has to pick up 10 percent of the cost. These calculations are based on guidelines laid down for me by the Republican staff of the Senate Finance Committee. There has been no official data yet generated on how much the Senate or House provisions will cost the taxpayers in each state.

STATE SPENDING INCREASES IN MEDICAID REQUIRED BY SENATE HEALTH BILL


Alaska $39M

Ariz. $217M

Ark. $402M

Calif. $1,428M

Colo. $163M

Del. $35M

Fla. $909M

Ga. $495M

Hawaii $41M

Idaho $97M

Iowa $77M

Ind. $586M

Kan. $186M

Ky. $199M

La. $432M

Md. $194M

Mich. $570M

Miss. $136M

Mo. $836M
Mont. $29M

Neb. $81M

Nev. $54M

Ohio $399M

Okla. $190M

Ore. $231M

Pa. $1,490M

S.C. $122M

S.D. $33M

Texas $2,749M

Utah $58M

Va. $601M

Wash. $311M

W.Va. $132M

Wyo. $25M



These estimates were obtained by calculating the increase in Medicaid spending in each state to bring it up to the 133 percent level specified in the Senate bill. Then I applied the percentage of Medicaid spending in each state on acute care (mainly for the poor) as opposed to long-term care (mainly for the elderly). Finally, I took 10 percent of the increased state share of spending and listed it in the table above.

Please Note: The Senate may vote on the healthcare bill this month. It's absolutely critical you support the League's efforts to stop Obamacare. We have made tremendous progress, but we must do more.

Help us stop this EVIL law!

Help us stop this EVIL law!

Dear Friend of HUMAN EVENTS,

In July 2007, Barack Obama promised a group of his supporters that, if elected president, he would sign perhaps the most evil piece of legislation in the history of our republic.

It's called the "Freedom of Choice Act," or FOCA -- but don't let the Orwellian title fool you. It isn't about "freedom" or "choice" at all. It's about forcing each and every American citizen -- regardless of his or her view on abortion -- to support abortion-on-demand not just as a "fundamental right" but as a taxpayer-funded entitlement.

But the compulsion wouldn't stop there. Because FOCA would also run roughshod over the conscience rights of doctors, nurses, and hospitals that oppose abortion on religious or moral grounds -- forcing them to provide or counsel for abortion or face professional de-certification, loss of funding, lawsuits, and even prosecution.

Not only that, FOCA would immediately strike down any and all state restrictions on abortion -- even those with wide popular support, such as prohibitions on partial-birth abortion and parental notification requirements for minors seeking abortions.

Make no mistake: FOCA is the most radical piece of pro-abortion legislation ever proposed, one that would go far beyond Roe v. Wade in making abortion a government-protected and taxpayer-supported "right," through all nine months of pregnancy.

That's why I'm asking you today to support HUMAN EVENTS in its efforts to stop this outrageous piece of legislation before it ever reaches President Obama's desk.


Let me explain why this is possible -- and how
HUMAN EVENTS plans to do it...
You see, in his 2007 campaign pledge to Planned Parenthood members, Obama promised that signing FOCA would be "the first thing I'd do as president." The only reason he hasn't followed through on that promise is that Democratic-controlled Congress has yet to introduce and pass it.

Why the delay? For one thing, they've had bigger fish to fry -- such as trillion-dollar "stimulus" packages and a new government-run health care system. They learned from Bill Clinton's immediate post-election action on gays in the military not to squander a new president's honeymoon period on divisive social legislation.

But also, by delaying, they can lull their pro-life opponents into thinking that FOCA has been tabled, while quietly building support for it in a stealth propaganda campaign that is already underway using major media outlets -- such as the Washington Post, which ran a piece in its "On Faith" section called "Why Fear FOCA?"

But with your help, HUMAN EVENTS will defeat the pro-abortionists' "stealth" media campaign with its own media blitzkrieg designed to counter pro-FOCA lies and propaganda with the facts.

preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead

This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now. He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can't figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
"We're no longer a Christian nation"
America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world," America is mean-spirited. "Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.) I'd say shame on the both of you but I don't think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals." Which ones did you mean?
1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British?
2. Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?
3. I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.
4. I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue .You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are terrorists.

One more thing; I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you're the Commander-in-Chief now,son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.

You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.


Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
