According to a Chairman of the investigations and oversight board for the $787 Billion dollar “C.R.A.P” :
“We are, in essence, deputizing the entire American citizenry to help with the oversight of this program,” said Rep. Brad Miller, chairman of the House Committee on Science and Technology’s subcommittee on investigations and oversight.
So, there you have it folks. We have all been deputized. We have been given the “authority” by the “powers that be” to act and hold these thugs accountable for ruining the futures of our youth for generations to come.
Going along a similar route of the s-chip program and nat’l health care to increase taxes on tobacco to pay for health care; the transportation and infrastructure committee has come up with a way to pay for their new high speed rail system that would only serve a minuscule of a fraction of the public:
Petra Todorovich, a director with the Regional Planning Association, said motorists around the nation will have to pay higher gasoline taxes. She recommended starting with a 10 cents per gallon increase that would be indexed to inflation.
Her organization is focused on New York, New Jersey and Connecticut but has a crafted a national infrastructure proposal.
I can’t wait to hear what they come up with to implement their “Green” programs.
Another “180” . . . I Clearly Remember Obama’s Teleprompter Telling Us that the War Costs During His Administration Would Be Included in the Budget as “NOT” to Deceive the Public.
Barack Obama and democrats were already going to quadruple the deficit this year.
Now Madam Speaker wants more.
Reuters reported:
Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives will seek passage in coming weeks of $94.2 billion in emergency money for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other programs, including $2 billion more to prepare for an influenza pandemic.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, outlining the legislation for reporters, also said the legislation would include $2.2 billion to fund some C-17 airplanes for the Pentagon. But it will not address future purchases of a refueling tanker airplane sought by the Air Force.
Obey said $80 million to close the U.S. prison in Guantanamo, Cuba, would not be included in the bill because no details were provided by the administration on how that move would be carried out.
Last month, President Barack Obama asked Congress to give him $83.4 billion more to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is hoping to use the money to begin phasing out combat operations in Iraq while building up U.S. forces in Afghanistan where al Qaeda and Taliban fighters are gaining strength.
The New York Timeshas figured out there is a little glitch in Obama’s economic scheme:
As the Obama administration racks up an unprecedented spending bill for bank bailouts, Detroit rescues, health care overhauls and stimulus plans, the bond market is starting to push up the cost of trillions of dollars in borrowing for the government.
Last week, the yield on 10-year Treasury notes rose to its highest level since November, briefly touching 3.17 percent, a sign that investors are demanding larger returns on the masses of United States debt being issued to finance an economic recovery.
That sounds like a retread of the 1970s — high interest rates and high unemployment. And, yes, this is what the Tea Party protesters (the unwashed masses the New York Times tried to ignore) were complaining about. You cannot borrow and borrow with no end:
The trouble is that government borrowing risks crowding out private investment, driving up interest rates and potentially slowing a recovery still trying to take hold. That is why the Federal Reserve announced an extraordinary policy this year to buy back existing long-term debt — $300 billion over six months — to drive down yields. The strategy worked for a while, but now the impact of that decision appears to be wearing off as long-term interest rates tick up again.
Then there is the concern that the interest the government must pay on its debt obligations may become unsustainable or weigh on future generations. The Congressional Budget Office expects interest payments to more than quadruple in the next decade as Washington borrows and spends, to $806 billion by 2019 from $172 billion next year.
It seems there is an inescapable reality, despite the government’s efforts to get “creative”: our ability to borrow is not infinite and the fiscal irresponsibility many (including some in the president’s own party) railed against has its price. In the end, no amount of political spin can convince bond purchasers to soak up all the red ink gushing from the U.S. budget.
I always give credit where credit is due and I always have held the belief that ALL in Congress are “NOT” totally corrupt and still hold some resemblance of adherence to the Constitution…
We have rejected the false choice between our security and our ideals, by closing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay and banning torture without exception.
AP ( Washington): A congressionally backed panel said Friday that religious freedoms were deteriorating in Russia, Turkey and four other nations that were added to a watch list of countries where people’s rights to worship as they please or not to worship at all are at risk…
Besides Russia and NATO-member Turkey, the commission added to the watch list Laos, Somalia, Tajikistan and Venezuela. They joined Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba and Egypt, already on the list.
Countries are placed on the watch list or the more serious “countries of particular concern” list because their governments either discriminate against people for religious reasons or are unwilling or unable to stop religious violence by their citizens.
The commission used the report to ask the Obama administration at least to “give due consideration” whether to abide by a law that requires the ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom be a “principal adviser to the president and the secretary of state regarding matters affecting religious freedom.”
Not only has Herseth-Sandlin has lost all connection to SD Conservatives whom she is to be representing, but she has thrown out the Constitution so the statists can draft their own to further their morally corrupt agenda.
Not only is HR 1913 unconstitutional, it will allow pedophiles and other sexual predators to reign free under the guise of discrimination.
H.R. 1913(Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009) is not about stopping crime but is designed to give “actual or perceived” sexual preference or “gender identity” (which is still classified as a mental disorder) the same legal status as race. The DSM IVR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual used by psychologists and psychiatrists to diagnose mental disorders) lists more than 30 “sexual orientations” and “Gender Identity Disorders,” including pedophilia. The hate crimes bill does not limit “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” and, thus, includes all these disorders and fetishes. The use of “actual or perceived” includes those with disorders or deviant sexual preferences and those who do not have such disorders or fetishes, so long as it is alleged that the person charged allegedly “thought” the other person had such disorder or fetish…
Mathew Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, commented: “Sexual orientation and gender identity include pedophilia and every imaginable deviant fetish. Cross-dressers and pedophiles find refuge in this so-called hate crimes bill, while veterans and grandmas are left to fend for themselves. Obviously, this bill is not about the prevention of crime but is all about pushing a radical sexual anarchy. This bill will crush free speech and trample free exercise of religion.”
I am beside myself. The last call I made to Herseth-Sandlin’s office, I was told she was NOT for this legislation.
So Miss Stephanie..what changed? Conservative Christian South Dakotans would like to know what happened to your SD roots and your oath to uphold the Constitution to protect all South Dakotans, especially those that can not protect themselves aka our innocent, vulnerable children.
When dealing with radical politicians and their voting record, the 1st course of action is to follow the money…
Pharma and health product industry campaign contributions continue to rise, with donations to Sen. Barak Obama at $900,000 and contributions to Sen. John McCain about half that; combined with contributions to Sen. Hilary Clinton, that brings the Democratic contribution total to almost three times that of the Republican total:
After highlighting a new online ad campaign from AstraZeneca in which consumers are urged to choose their preferred “administration” for flu vaccine, Huckman provides some numbers about political campaign contributions.
“As of last Wednesday, the pharmaceuticals/health products industry has given more than $900,000 to Sen. Barack Obama. And Sen. John McCain has moved into third place with $442,000 in contributions,” he writes. “And all told, so far, the drug companies, which traditionally favor Republicans over Democrats, have given three times as much money to Sen. Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton combined than [they have] to the presumptive GOP nominee.”
And who is part of this? None other than NOVAVAX, the bio-tech firm who’s stock just doubled from this so called flu-pandemic:
Expect more fear mongering from the hill to promote their agenda and gain financial benefit to those that supported their campaign AKA “pay to play” Washington style. GE is bringing a whole new meaning into your “life” and it has nothing to do with elecronics.
TIC (teleprompter in chief) just announced the government is not in the auto business and that GMAC will fund future Chrysler products…in the same breath he announced that “we the people” will be funding GMAC in their efforts to fund this ponzie scheme because the UAW has already given to many concessions to ask them to give more.
How stupid does he really think we are? Does he really think he is fooling us?
Control of organised labor is a key component of the Obama administration’s power plan.
The Communist Party USA’s Peoples Weekly WorldJanuary 31st ’09 quoted President Obama as saying;
“I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem. To me, it’s part of the solution.”
Obama wants to unify the labor movement under a centralised socialist leadership, answerable to him. This will provide President Obama and the Democrats with money and armies of loyal foot soldiers for their battles with the Republicans, “disloyal” Dems and non compliant businesses.
It will also enable Obama to neutralise resistance to amnesty and citizenship for more than 10 million illegal workers curently in the US-which will almost certainly lock in millions of extra votes for Obama and the Democrats.
One organisation, American Rights at Work(ARW) has served as a key transmission belt from Obama to the labor movement. It is now looking increasingly like becoming Obama’s key control mechanism over the union movement.
ARW has strong ties to Obama’s old friends Democratic Socialists of America(DSA), the ultra left “think tank” Institute for Policy Studies(infamous in the 1970s and ’80s for its reported links to Soviet and Cuban intelligence services)and surprisingly one of the US’s largest mosques.
Here’s a “who’s who” of key American Rights at Work personnel.
David Bonior ARW President-A confirmed DSA member, Bonior was honoredin December 2008 by Detroit DSA at its 10th annual Frederick Douglass-Eugene V. Debs Dinner.
According to Talking Union; David Bonior served in Congress for 26 years rising through the leadership to become the Democratic Caucus Whip. During his tenure in Congress, Bonior fought to raise the minimum wage, protect pensions, support unions, and extend unemployment benefits. He led the fight to oppose NAFTA in 1993. He worked to prevent war in Central America in the 1980s and again to prevent the Iraq War in 2002. After leaving Congress, Bonior co-founded American Rights at Work, a labor advocacy and research organization, which has made passage of the Employee Free Choice Act its major legislative priority. Bonior was recently appointed to the Obama economic team.
Bonior was toutedas a likely Obama Labor Secretary but withdrew his name from contention. Obama then delegated Bonior to broker a re-unification of the US labor movement, bringing the Change To Win grouping and the AFL-CIO back together under one banner.
The NYT’s David Greenhouse reported that, on January 7, the union presidents first met with Bonior, a member of Obama’s economic transition team…Bonior helped “arrange and oversee” the meeting.
The union presidents issued their joint call after the transition team for President-elect Barack Obama signaled that it would prefer dealing with a united movement, rather than a fractured one that often had two competing voices.

Today is the “Infamous” 100th day mark of the new administration, and the fact that today the House of Representatives will be voting on crucial “hate-crime/kill any speech that promotes morality” legislation the the new administration supports, I find myself wondering what kind of future our country has? What kind of precident are we setting for the generations to come?
During the 1940s, my family lived in North Philadelphia’s Richard Allen housing project. Many families didn’t lock doors until late at night, if ever. No one ever thought of installing bars on their windows. Hot, humid summer nights found many people sleeping outside on balconies or lawn chairs. Starting in the ’60s and ’70s, doing the same in some neighborhoods would have been tantamount to committing suicide. Keep in mind that the 1940s and ’50s were a time of gross racial discrimination, high black poverty and few opportunities compared to today. The fact that black neighborhoods were far more civilized at that time should give pause to the excuses of today that blames today’s pathology on poverty and discrimination.
Policemen and laws can never replace customs, traditions and moral values as a means for regulating human behavior. At best, the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of defense for a civilized society. Our increased reliance on laws to regulate behavior is a measure of how uncivilized we’ve become.

It’s a short, but to the point and hits the nail on the head as to where this country is going if we continue to let the pregressive statists ramrod their agenda down our throats while Christian Conservatives sit back thinking that prayer is the only answer.
Prayer is the 1st step, but God is not going to fix this himself. It is through us that his work is done. It’s time for ALL Christian Conservatives to get off the porch and get out into their communities and actively stand up against the progressive statists. They are going after our youth, and we must meet them head to head to insure that our youth and future generations are educated with the truth, not the propaganda that is tearing this great Constitutional Republic to shreads.
Case in point…Lt. Colonel Allen West, retired military who served in Iraq and Afghanistan calls the Obama administration a “Regime” that does not like this country and that they are trying to remake it into some kind of “Socialist Cesspool”. WOW…listen to the 5 min interview of this outstanding retired military officer. It’s fabulous, we need more like him running for office in 2010. We surely have a few here in SD like this that we can get behind, let’s go get’em, then let’s make sure to support ’em and get them elected into office.
