Cannot find a Democrat hero in the Senate. They are all paid off and drunk with power. We are now slaves to their big government forever and ever.

OPINION

REVIEW & OUTLOOK

DECEMBER 21, 2009, 5:13 P.M. ET

“Change Nobody Believes In”

SNIPPET: “A bill so reckless that it has to be rammed through on a partisan vote on Christmas eve.

And tidings of comfort and joy from Harry Reid too. The Senate Majority Leader has decided that the last few days before Christmas are the opportune moment for a narrow majority of Democrats to stuff ObamaCare through the Senate to meet an arbitrary White House deadline. Barring some extraordinary reversal, it now seems as if they have the 60 votes they need to jump off this cliff, with one-seventh of the economy in tow.

Mr. Obama promised a new era of transparent good government, yet on Saturday morning Mr. Reid threw out the 2,100-page bill that the world’s greatest deliberative body spent just 17 days debating and replaced it with a new “manager’s amendment” that was stapled together in covert partisan negotiations. Democrats are barely even bothering to pretend to care what’s in it, not that any Senator had the chance to digest it in the 38 hours before the first cloture vote at 1 a.m. this morning. After procedural motions that allow for no amendments, the final vote could come at 9 p.m. on December 24.

Even in World War I there was a Christmas truce.”

As he spends us into bankruptcy, the federal government will reach the same condition as cities and states - it will no longer be able to afford to defend us.

As our cities and states have spent themselves into bankruptcy, and can no longer afford to fight crime, even if they had the will to do so, a bankrupt federal government will lose the ability to defend us against foreign and domestic enemies, and the civilized world will be sorry.

DAVID LIMBAUGH.com - New Column: "OBAMACARE HAZARDOUS TO AMERICA'S HEALTH" by David Limbaugh (SNIPPET: "At least common thieves don't destroy an entire health care system and socialize the American economy when they commit their felonies. Too bad we can't say the same for our illustrious Democratic senators who sold out the nation." SNIPPET: "National Center for Policy Analysis health care expert John C. Goodman says: "This bill does not curb health care expenses, but it will increase taxes and cost jobs. The end result of this bill: most Americans will wait longer for poorer quality care." Adding insult to injury, most pro-life groups believe the bill does not ensure that federal funding would not be available for abortions.") (December 21, 2009)

Amen again. Hugh Hewitt was reading this commentary today. Washington D.C. is too much with us; let us have a holiday already. Of course, their ignoring of Christmas shows us what a secular time we live in now.

FRom the Progressive Income Tax to Social Security,, the Gorelick Wall to TARP,, Dems have worked overtime to screw this country and as many as they can and abort and euthanize the rest..

Is it any wonder we are in the predicament we are in as a nation? Their agenda is as Anti-American as any foreign foe we face today.

“Sen. Nelson ‘betrayed’ pro-lifers back home”
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 12/22/2009 6:00:00 AM

SNIPPET: “Some Nebraskans are upset with Senator Ben Nelson over his change of heart on healthcare reform.

Senator Nelson (D-Nebraska) was considered the 60th vote Democrats needed to push the massive legislation through with provisions that would require taxpayers to pay for abortions. He agreed to vote in favor of cloture, leaving the early Monday morning vote 60-40 to proceed.

Julie Schmit-Albin, executive director of Nebraska Right to Life, contends the Democratic lawmaker sold out to pro-abortion forces in the Senate in exchange for several concessions — among them permanent and full federal aid for this state’s expanded Medicaid population.

“That falls directly on us as a [political action committee] and on me personally because I was his biggest defender,” she says of Nelson. “I’m taking it very personally that this is a real betrayal.” And no pro-life Nebraskan, she laments, is more “devastated” by Nelson’s actions than she is.

Nelson, says the pro-life leader, has turned against a heavily pro-life Nebraska — and “obliterated the hope of pro-life Americans” who were counting on him to stand strong.”

“The Socialist Revolution Has Come to America”

December 21, 2009 - by Matt PattersonPage 1 of 2 Next ->

SNIPPET: “The socialist revolution has come to America. It has been a long time coming.”

SNIPPET from page 2: “For just under the smooth, smiling facade lurked a man of deep allegiance to the radical left, counting among his associates both an avowed terrorist and a raving, racialist preacher.

But Americans didn’t want to hear it and the media obliged them. The ideologue was soon ensconced in the White House, where he acted swiftly to upend the entirety of American society through a comprehensive, two-pronged assault:

1. The government moved to take greater control of medical care and thus one-sixth of our entire economy. The excuse? Some people don’t have insurance, don’t you know? What are the details? Good question: specifics hatched in back rooms behind closed doors, utterly incomprehensible bills that may as well be carved in hieroglyphics. What will it mean for you? Why, whatever they want it to mean, of course.”

“In Pursuit of Death”
By Joe Herring

SNIPPET: “As the federal government asserts control over health care, energy production, and the financial markets, the trinity of power is within the left’s grasp. Unless driven back from their goals — and quickly — the likelihood grows daily that more than four billion of our “species” will be joining the table scraps and yard clippings on the compost pile.

The author writes from Omaha, Nebraska...”

“Democrats Ensure America Will No Longer Be the Last Best Hope of Earth” by Dennis Prager

SNIPPET: “As the passage of the bill that will start the process of nationalizing health care in America becomes almost inevitable, so, too, the process of undoing America’s standing as The Last Best Hope of Earth will have begun.”

SNIPPET: “Just as the left has waged war on America’s Judeo-Christian roots, it has waged war on individual liberty and responsibility.”

SNIPPET: “Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are right about one thing — they are indeed making history. But their legacy will not be what they think. They will be known as the people who led to the end of America as the last best hope of earth.”

We are now slaves to their big government forever and ever.

Forever is a very long time. And history has not ultimately been kind to tyrants. More often than not, they end up with their head(s) on a pike. Or some such fate.

Never Again! America think again. Because of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al. that statement rings hollow. Who will come to our aid?

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
