Here is one person who secretly may just want Obama to get crushed in the mid-terms, a wipeout in 2010 could be Hillary's ticket for a primary challenge in 2012.

From the Times of London comes an intriguing report on Al Gore's latest falsehood in the debate surrounding climate change: In his speech, Mr Gore told the [Copenhagen climate change] conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.” Unfortunately for Mr. Gore, this was false. As noted by The Times: [T]he climatologist whose work Mr Gore was relying upon dropped the former Vice-President in the water...

Various state representatives have initiated educational reforms to combat some of the most egregious problems in our educational system. Representative Dorothy Hukill, in particular, deserves high praise for her bill to ban the use of “restraining rooms” for special needs students in our schools. Yet there is an even greater outrage that must be outlawed. Schools have taken to calling police and arresting children over classroom disruptions. If teachers and principals cannot think of some other form of punishment, then they have no business teaching – period. As a point of reference, here are two of the most shameful news...

I was refused a pnumonia shot this morning because I seem not to fit CDC guidlines for getting one. I have a history of rispiratory problems although I haven't been bothered by them for a few years. My doctor has to sign off on the vaccination and maybe I can get one next year the nurse advised me. By the way, this shot was not at the taxpayer's expense. So much for prevention.

If Obama and the Dem leadership are giving Senator Nelson a hard time, the Republican leadership in Congress should reach out to him, and invite him to join the Republican Party, and give him an attractive job in the senate. Why not contact the Republican leaders in the Congress, and also the RNC? The RNC phone number is: 1-202-863-8500

Stagflation, the worst of both worlds (anemic economic growth and high inflation) brings back less than fond memories of the 1970's, along with the misery index, which is calculated adding the inflation rate to the unemployment rate. Until the 1960's, Keynesian economists had thought that those two economic events couldn't happen at the same time.

ATLANTA (AP) - Health officials are recalling hundreds of thousands of doses of swine flu vaccine after tests indicated they may not be potent enough to protect against the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified doctors about the recall Tuesday. The recall involves about 800,000 doses made by Sanofi Pasteur. The doses are pre-filled syringes intended for young children, ages 6 months to almost three years. Health officials recommend children those ages get two doses, spaced about a month apart. Health officials say it's not clear how many doses have already been given, but they don't think...

Here is video of liberals Ed Schultz and Arianna Huffington tonight blasting President Obama and the Democrats for not going far enough in their "Health Care Reform" plan. Both Schultz and Huffington are disgusted that Joe Lieberman appears to be driving the debate on Health Care. Huffington said she would not give President Obama a B+ as he gave himself on his performance. Schultz also talked with Joan Walsh about Howard Dean's call to "Kill the Bill." Obama has a lot of his base up in arms because they hate Joe Lieberman. Walsh went so far as to say, "I...

Earlier today, John Kerry and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) sent out an email soliciting donations to fight a woman that democrats have publicly called insignificant. Let's go to the source: Think GOP obstruction is bad now? Just imagine what Washington would look like if a bunch of new senators - inspired by Sarah Palin and the tea party crowd - took over. Fiscal responsibility, reining in government spending, an end to government overreach, a better economy? Heck, yeah. Where do I sign up? Are these guys serious? I don't know if SarahPAC could write better copy. Either we...

Tuesday, December 15, 2009 Politically Correct Holiday Wishes for All - Just Don’t Say Merry Christmas Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of...

Video: In an interview yesterday (http://radioequalizer.blogs) on the Al Sharpton Show, radio guest Dr Boyce Watkins spells out Obama's increasingly shaky support from African-Americans. He says: "The people his plans are targeted to help, they're not getting help".

TOP 10 REASONS WHY SARAH PALIN SHOULD BE THE GOP NOMINEE IN 2012 (1) She's already been vetted - Governor Palin's record & her personal life has been dissected more than a frog in biology class. Every stone has been unturned, and her life story is all in her book. Pawlenty, Romney, Daniels of IN? We can't afford any more October surprises or bombshells. We know what will happen if Mitt is the nominee - can you imagine the fun the Dems will have producing attack ads? With Palin, voters know her story and will ignore or call BS...

With the recent announcement of Governor Sean Parnell’s 10.5 billion dollar budget; will the budget become Sarah Palin’s poison pill? In the world of politics, a poison pill usually refers to a bad amendment (the poison pill) being attached to a bill, so that supporters to the original bill will kill it based on the bad amendment. In the case with Governor Parnell's budget, you have Sarah Palin who has labeled herself a fiscal conservative who has endorsed Governor Parnell for governor, who is crafting a budget that raises general spending next year by 8.5 percent.

Senate Deal ?? This is getting dangerously close. The House passed something, now the Democrat Senate leadership and Obama says they have abandoned both a public option and an expansion of medicare. Our problem is NOT RINOs, nor DINOs (Democrats in Name only) nor Republicans, it is those liberal progressives that can make this Obama-care reform pass. The Senate is close to a 2008 victory (not the final victory fortunately.) But it's not too late to have a Democrat meltdown. Challenge to Progressives : Look! You gave in on single payer, you gave in on abortion (in the House anyway)....

Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment? Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation’s only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change. While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand, I have repeatedly said that we can’t primarily blame man’s activities for those changes. And while I did look for practical responses to those changes, what I didn’t do was hamstring...

Here is video of Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly talking about the ACLU's "holiday display" including a "holiday tree" a menorah and an atheist sign saying "there are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell" and finally an ACLU sign stating that the organization defends freedom of religion. Ann Coulter called the ACLU "America's leading anti-Christian hate group" and said "you may as well have the Klan putting up a sign at a NAACP memorial saying that "we support equal rights," you know they don't support equal rights." (Video)

Rosanna Pulido, Citizen Candidate for the Illinois 5th Congressional district seat is strongly opposed to the Amnesty Bill legislation being introduced by Representative Gutierrez of the 4th district. Pulido states that, ‘with one in ten Illinoisans laid off of work ,unemployment rates at the highest level in decades and millions of Americans facing tough financial choices, the last thing our country needs is another short sighted politician trying to fix a real problem by throwing hardworking taxpayers money at it.’ Pulido’s position is that Congress has a responsibility to ensure that available jobs are filled by legal workers. “That is...

It was the worst terrorist attack in Britain's history, the deadliest assault on U.S. civilians until 9/11 and a political powder keg that roiled governments around the world. On Dec. 21, 1988, a bomb exploded in the forward cargo hold of Pan Am Flight 103, a jetliner flying from London to New York. Within less than a minute, the Boeing 747 splintered into thousands of pieces and fell 31,000 feet, smashing down in the village of Lockerbie, Scotland. The impact killed 11 villagers and destroyed 21 homes. None of the 259 people on board the aircraft survived. On August 21,...

Here is video of Bill O'Reilly talking with John Stossel about a controversial "race, culture, class, and gender task force" at a university in Minnesota that will require students to accept theories like "white privilege and institutional racism." (Video)

Reports of heavy violence in Mexico should not deter tourists, said U.S. Consul Michael Barkin. “Really, Mexico is no worse than the south side of Chicago,” Barkin assured the McAllen (Texas) Chamber of Commerce. “Your odds of coming through without being robbed, kidnapped or murdered are relatively good. There’s probably less than 10% chance you will be a victim.” The Consul advised that “if you are one of the unfortunate minority who is victimized and are still alive afterwards, please contact the Consulate so we can fill out the proper ‘after-incident’ reports.” Barkin expressed the hope that immigration reform would...

The familiar phrase was spoken by Marcellus in Shakespeare’s Hamlet — first performed around 1600, at the start of the Little Ice Age. “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” is the exact quote. It recognizes that fish rots from the head down, and it means that all is not well at the top of the political hierarchy. Shakespeare proved to be Nostradamus. Four centuries later — at the start of what could be a new Little Ice Age — the rotting fish is Copenhagen. The smell in the air may be from the leftover caviar at the banquet...

...‘We wondered; given this controversy about the circumstances of Mr. Obama’s birth, on what documentary basis did Ms. Pelosi ascertain he was a NBC...we wrote to Ms. Pelosi and asked her...she ignored us.’ A knowing sound of ‘ooooo’ filled the room. ‘What do you think that means?’ The students smiled. ‘That means, she’s busted; she didn’t check whether he is a NBC before she swore he was.’ ...’Could be. But people wanted to know...so they wrote to Alice Germond, the Secretary to the DNC Services Corporation, who had co-signed those Certifications. Again, they asked on what documentary basis she had...

"There's an awful lot of gamesmanship going on right now," Biden said. "Any Democrat who decides for their own shallow purposes, if that were the case, to scuttle this is ... not going to have a friend in the lord."

President Obama has lost his 2012 bid for re-election. He has made key decisions in three areas that, unless he alters his approach (not likely), could well guarantee a Republican victory: an embarrassingly rolled-out, badly-compromised health-care reform bill; his continuing slavish subservience to those on Wall Street that took the country into the economic toilet; and his sad imitation of CheneyBush's imperial campaign in Afghanistan. (Obama's only hope for 2012 may depend on Sarah Palin getting the GOP nomination. Even better if Glenn Beck or Dick Cheney is her running mate -- been mentioned seriously. The Democrats can only hope...

An 8-year-old boy has been suspended from school and forced to undergo a psychological evaluation after he drew a picture of Jesus Christ on the cross. A teacher at Lowell Maxham Elementary School in Taunton, Mass., said the second-grade student created a violent drawing, the Taunton Daily Gazette reported. The boy's picture portrayed a crucified Jesus with Xs over his eyes to indicate that he had died on the cross. The child's father, outraged at the school's action, asked to remain anonymous to protect his son. He said his boy drew the picture after returning from a family trip to...

A battle over religion is brewing in central Indiana after a public school wanted second graders to sing a song declaring, “Allah is God.” The phrase was removed just before the performance after a national conservative group launched a protest. The principal of Lantern Road Elementary School in Fishers, IN, said they were trying to teach inclusiveness through their holiday production. It included references to Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa. However, no other deity, other than Allah, was referenced in the show. “It went off…without a hitch,” Danielle Thompson told the Indianapolis Star. “Several families thought it was...

The Obama's spending goes up while the deficit gets worse.

A discussion on the Glenn Beck show has now spilled onto the internet. The discussion surrounds Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution: “ Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons." To the liberals, the 3/5th figure is an indication that our founding fathers were a...

It is only logical that President Obama will sign any Copenhagen climate change treaty that may result from this week's negotiations. His worldview demands it. His past statements and ongoing actions presage it. Obama believes in AGW (anthropogenic or man-made global warming) theory. He believes in "economic and social justice," and that logically leads to "climate justice." He may believe that the U.S. owes a "climate debt" to the rest of the world. What better way to lead the charge than to carry the ultimate banner of the radical left -- wealth redistribution -- under the auspices of the "crises...

In light of our ongoing economic malaise, rampant government spending, massive expansion of federal power, and the commitment to the 2009 International Climate-Con (currently being held in Copenhagen), I was inspired to rename the Obama/Pelosi/Reid plan. The plan's new name might better reflect the nature of the fundamental change we're experiencing: Keep America Relaxed and Lazy  Making All Rely on the Xenocracy                 Plan Okay, I was actually laughing as I wrote that. Then...I kept thinking. Dangit..now for the the dumbing down. Xenocracy is in no way a reference to President Obama's birthplace.

Good. She deserved it. I hope it happens to her again. And again. And every time she sticks her stupid head up in support of a neonazi thug.

Quite an explosive leak! I wonder how this will affect things? It is certainly a thuggish and dangerous thing for Obama to play with National Security over this craptacular idea of socialized medicine. Quite a desperate move. According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn’t fall into line. Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a “naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson’s vote.”...

On St. Oprah’s Christmas Special with the Obamas at the Whitehouse on Sunday, 12/13/2009, the Community-Organizer-In-Chief gave himself a “good solid B+” on his first-year in office. While I would consider that proof of grade-inflation (as opposed to monetary inflation which he and Tiny Tim “The Tax-Cheat” Geithner are also cooking up), I am pleasantly surprised at The One’s humbleness in giving himself only a “B+” – I would have expected something like “A+++”; however, I am fully expecting the political mavens and propaganda shills, hacks and asundry blowhards on the network “news” programs (ABC, NBC and “See BS”) as...

Lurch (Senator John Kerry) and his republican money has a new fundraising letter attacking the American people and his favorite political superstar, Gov Sarah Palin! Interesting tactic. 2010 is going to be an interesting year. John Kerry wrote: “Think GOP obstruction is bad now?” Senator Kerry asks in a fundraising letter sent out Tuesday morning by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “Just imagine what Washington would look like if a bunch of new senators – inspired by Sarah Palin and the tea party crowd – took over.” In recent months, the political right has been energized by Ms. Palin, whose...

Washington—With a controversial and unprecedented move, Barack Obama has plans to ban golf after the Tiger Woods scandal that has rocked the world. The administration reportedly feels that golf is becoming far too expensive and detrimental to minorities, leaving little room for kids that grow up in the hood to participate. “I think what the President is doing is the right thing,” said Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. “The sport always has been a tool of a white majority to hurt African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and others. The white man finally brought down Tiger Woods. This move is long overdue.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following article, written by Daniel Zanoza, was published in the January 2002 edition of Guns Save Life [www.gunssavelife.com/]. The article was an RFM NEWS (now known as RFFM.org) Exclusive. The following details how Jim Ryan, who is currently seeking the Illinois Republican gubernatorial nomination in 2010, attempted to entrap law-abiding citizens who were selling and/or buying firearms over the Internet. In 2001, Ryan was Attorney General for the state of Illinois. Ryan launched a failed--and what many called unlawful--sting operation targeting gun owners and dealers. While Ryan was conducting what his own legal advisors determined, up until...

Truthfully, the real reason there is no peace between Israel and the Palestinians is the Palestinians don't want peace. No other country in the world has made concessions the way Israel has. Since 1977, they given up areas of land three times the size of the State of Israel. The Oslo process began in 1993. Sixteen years have passed since then, and they are no closer to a permanent settlement. The Palestinians don't want peace, after all its bad for buisness. It is the hatred of Israel that allows the PA to keep power. It deflects public anger from their...

But the coup de grâce may happen very soon and may be coming from the left, not the right. Howard Dean will be dropping this bombshell today. In a blow to the bill grinding through the Senate, Howard Dean bluntly called for the bill to be killed in a pre-recorded interview set to air later this afternoon, denouncing it as “the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate,” the reporter who conducted the interview tells me. Dean said the removal of the Medicare buy-in made the bill not worth supporting, and urged Dem leaders to start over...

Free entertainment coutersy of our U.S. Senate. Franken says: "We're entitled to our own opinions but we're not entitled to our own facts." Get you popcorn ready first and enjoy!

Here is video of Minnesota Democrat Sen. Al Franken slamming GOP Sen. John Thune from the Senate Floor over remarks Thune had made about the Democrats' Government Health Care Bill. Thune and Franken went back and forth over whether any benefits from the bill would begin as soon as it is passed, or whether nothing really begins flowing until 2014. Franken comes across as a total jerk in the video, as he rants and raves. . . . (VIDEO)

The pro-Sharia organization Hizb ut-Tahrir America, is holding another conference in Illinois this weekend.

Here is video of radical leftist William Ayers giving an interview in which he said President Obama is actually a "moderate politician in the American Tradition." Ayers said those on "the Right" refuse to believe that, even though he is truly moderate. Ayers criticized the United States as a "warrior nation" and said he believes the War in Afghanistan is "an invasion and an occupation." Ayers said Obama's decision to send 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan is a "catastrophe." Ayers was asked if he would advocate planting of bombs to protest the War in Afghanistan even as he did at...

THE FILIBUSTER MUST GO! It’s undemocratic. It was created to subvert democracy and the will of the people. The Constitution Of The United States only calls for a simple majority vote in the Senate (51 votes). The Senate should pass the strongest Public Option it can with 51 votes. CRITICAL!! From jacksmith – Working Class My Fellow Americans and People Of The World A strong Government-run MEDICARE like Public Option is CRITICAL!! A Medicare Buy-in at 55 is a GOOD! idea.
