The federal government,namely the IRS, gave some privileges to members of one religious group(scientology) that other groups cannot get.

A Jewish couple took this all the way to SCOTUS who declined to review it. It is a pretty clear example of a violation of the Establishment clause..but no one will do anything about it.

I fully expect nothing to be done about Nelson’s Medicaid fiasco.

I think the breaking news is what Ungentle Ben charged for his vote. Another site had reported Ben negotiated “special favors.” Now it is leaking out what some of them were.

Somehow, the folks in Nebraska must force Ben to resign. Hire some private dectectives, dig up some dirt. Do like the Dems and Hilary do. Get in the game. Strike a blow for freedom.

He’s a whore. The only question was what was his price. Now we know.

“The other Rats were pretty stupid for not holding out and getting their fair share of the bribe money.”


This is what I sent via Facebook to 0bama’s pets Webb and Warner of VA:

Sen. xxxx, now that Sens. Landrieu, Sanders and Nelson have secured special earmarks and tax exemptions for their respective states in exchange for “aye” votes on 0bamaCare, and since you are going to reflexively support your party bosses, what was the price for your vote? What have you obtained for us in Virginia????

Looks like Nebraska beat Nevada in announcing male prostitutes.

Maybe, but we have the pimp daddy.

Yep....

This one from your #17 post:

....quote from Dear Reader “the (WHITE) American people will have the vote they deserve” on health reform.....

since WE ARE NOW THE SLAVES.....

IMHO, it's just not just a "Heath Care Bill", it's reparations, or as the Marxist Progressives or Rev. Right pew sitters like to call it: Social Justice

Wouldn't it be great if a dem that had already promised to vote for the bill now backed out so his state could get the same deal. And then 1 by 1 the rest refused to vote yes until their state got the same deal. Hell, if I had a dem senator, I would now be pissed if we didn’t get the same deal. Wonder how the other dem senators feel that delivered their yes vote for nothing.
