Democrats Demand That States Have No Power On What Funds They Can Accept From The Fed’s…..

Chuck Schumer is demanding that the States in the union should NOT have the power to make decisions on the what and where the money given to them is spent from the Generational Theft Act:

In recent days, a small minority of governors, mostly Republicans, have publicly weighed the possibility of foregoing certain emergency provisions provided under the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed last week by President Obama. I believe this prospect not only would undercut the stimulative effect of the recovery package, but also is inconsistent with a key provision included in the law passed by Congress. To protect the integrity of the recovery program, I urge the administration to issue implementation guidance clarifying that while any Governor may exercise his or her discretion to accept or reject the federal funds provided in the stimulus, no Governor should have the authority to arbitrarily adopt a select subset of the overall package.

Note: letter isn’t up on Schumers website yet, you can google the above and be taken to the looney left sites that have it up….will not link to them.

He cries that some states are rejecting the additional tax on small businesses by refusing to expand unemployment insurance for laid off workers. The tax is an undue burden on the segment of our society that is the backbone of capitilism. The small business owner.

Abu Zubaydah—alleged 9/11 co-conspirator—was captured in Pakistan and interrogated by CIA personnel. He claimed United 93, which crashed when passengers jumped the hijackers, was headed for the White House.

Most of the publshed information, including the 9/11 Commission report, lean toward United 93 aiming for the White House. Had the terrorists succeeded in hijacking more planes Congress may have been a target. As of now no one who knows is saying. I didn't see the Hollywood version of United 93 but I heard it infers the plane will crash into Congress. Link below leaves it up in the air:

From CBS story 5-20-02: [Officials previously had assumed the White House was a likely target, but said the Capitol and CIA headquarters in McLean, Va., near Washington were other possibilities.]

No big surprise here. I am waiting for the fed to bailout the newspaper industry so it could determine editorial policy.

Yep, and although I may not be a saint by any standard, I do know right from wrong, and am willing to lay down my life to fight evil.

Only 3 to 4 million?

Oh I think there will be a lot more than that, and it will not just be in Washington D.C. but probably every state capital where the demoncraps hold power.

Schumer: "...To protect the integrity of the recovery program..."

Strange. I didn't know that the word integrity was in Schumer's vocabulary.

Yep.

The wicked witch of the west, said that if democrats were to take over the house and senate that gas prices will drop.

Reality is that since they took over in ‘06 gas prices almost doubled.

I know that the high gas prices hurt the company that I used to work for. Then there were more local issues but that’s something else for our state thread.

That’s true.

I think that when push comes to shove, 0bama can not rely on the military. I know from personal experience that a vast majority thinks along the sames lines as the rest of us here.

There may be a few who stick with him, but it isn’t going to be enough to be able to force his will upon us.

Maybe this is why he wishes to create that Civilian National Security Force A.K.A. the Gestapo/SS, KGB, or MVD.

Sorry, but that maroon has total power over your wallet and the future DEBT of our children. Nice, huh!

Time for a Revolution is long past.

Sorry but Dream on. Who is in charge of The Census? Who is going to receive some of your flesh, oh about $4 Billion plus, for neighborhood organizing? What will be the end result.

The elections are no longer in your control.

The “opposition party” will need +20% to beat the fraud.

Thank you. I will read it. Fighting spirit is what is needed, on all sides, from important people to insignifant citizens.

God WILL do something about ALL the evil.

God puts right-minded people in place to defeat the wrong-minded people.

If the right-minded people don't act, God has still done his job.

Quit praying and fight, like God intended.
