Senator Reid the Veterans In Politics has not forgotten what you said about the war! In 2007 United States Senator Harry Reid told the American citizens that the war in Iraq is lost (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYZEGot-xU4). Immediately after that the Veterans In Politics played a commercial on KDWN indicating that Senator Reid has surrendered our military, has no confidence in America, and has destroyed the moral of all military service members. Senator Reid refuses to be a guest on our show, because he does not have the back bone to face us. Let’s show Senator Reid exactly who is LOST! Steve...

Vladimir Putin, Russia's prime minister, has given his strongest signal yet that he may reassume the presidency at the next election in 2012 but said a final decision would be taken nearer the time. In comments that suggest he is actively considering a return to a job he held for eight years, Mr Putin said that he and Dmitry Medvedev, the sitting president, would decide the matter between them when the time came. "In 2012 we shall think together and take into account the realities of the time, our personal plans, the political landscape and we will take a decision,"...

Even Deborah Woods, 52, is shocked. Not that she thought her great-aunt, Gertrude Noone, 110, would live forever, but it certainly seemed that way. That is why Thursday morning was so unsettling for those who learned Noone, whom the Army confirmed as its oldest living veteran, had died at her home at Carriage Green. She was the state’s second-oldest person. “I had a feeling she’d be around for years,” Woods said. “It was expected, but still a little bit of a shock.” Noone’s health had started to take a turn for the worse when she turned 110 on Dec. 30....

September 11, 2009 There was a killing this morning of a prolife activist who was protesting abortion in front of a high school in Owosso, Michigan. Locals say that the victim, James Pouillon of Owosso, was well-known in the area for his pro-life activities. He was known as “the abortion sign guy" and know for standing on street corners holding up signs with pictures of aborted children. The 33-year-old man arrested for the murder of James Pouillon has reportedly confessed to the killing and to the killing of a second man who owned a gravel business. There is no known...

At 8:46 this morning (9/11/09), Anne and I lowered our flags (US and Canadian) to half-mast. After a tear-filled moment of silence, we came into our home and lit a 24-hour candle that will burn in memory of those who died, those who were injured, those who lost loved ones and friends, and those like Anne and myself who will be forever scarred by this vicious attack on FREEDOM. As Canadians, we witnessed our best friend being brutally beaten-up for no other reason than being America. We watched the horrors inflicted on the American people by savages who would make...

Dear MoveOn member, Yesterday, ignoring the calls from leaders within his own party, Rep. Joe Wilson refused to apologize on the House floor for shouting out "you lie!" during President Obama's big health care speech.1 In fact, he recorded a new YouTube video defending his attacks on Obama's health care plan and requesting donations for his re-election campaign!2 This is the kind of disrespectful and dishonest behavior we've come to expect from right-wing mobs and talk radio hosts recently—but it's simply unacceptable for a member of the United States Congress. Fortunately, we've got a great opportunity to replace Joe Wilson...

Earlier this year the Revere School Committee dropped a bombshell on the community. Without any warning, they voted to distribute contraceptives and the "morning after pill" to students in Revere High School. As Kathy Magno, an activist in Revere, told us, this was done without any notice to the community. There were no public hearings. No sub-committee meetings about it. It wasn't even on the agenda that day. Massachusetts Law appears to mandate that school committees run these ideas by a committee of the town's citizens before implementing them. And every town we know of (except Revere) has traditionally had...

WASHINGTON -- The day after President Barack Obama urged Congress to quit bickering and enact health-care reform, Republicans on Capitol Hill said his trillion-dollar plan would be enacted on the back of Medicare recipients and sound the death knell of Medicare Advantage. "That program will be killed off," Rep. John Fleming, R-Minden, one of three doctors in the Louisiana delegation, said on the House floor Thursday. Medicare Advantage is an option utilized by one in five Medicare beneficiaries. More than 145,000 Louisianians are enrolled in the program, which provides additional benefits, from glasses and hearing aids to preventive care services,...

Greetings, It would appear that the recent undercover video operations against socialists pigs here in the good ol' us are quite successful. The reason why these stings are successful is easy. The socialists have the devil in their hearts, and are blinded by their greed and idealism. Let's turn up the heat!1. Undercover stings of Planned Parenthood by underage girl exposing them as willing to lie about ages and rape. 2. Undercover stings of ACORN offices exposes advice to lie to cops and hide prostitution, etc. What other ideas, FReepers? I wouldn't get too in detail, as loose lips sink...

From the American Family Association: http://action.afa.net/Blogs/BlogPost.aspx?id=2147486722 ObamaCare and Planned Parenthood Date: 9/11/2009 10:38:41 AM by Bryan Fischer, AFA Director of Issue Analysis Here at the American Family Association, we have received many inquiries in response to our Action Alert and press release warning Americans that under ObamaCare, Planned Parenthood will be authorized to run health clinics that are based inside public schools. Here’s how. In Section 2511 (pages 993-1001) of H.R. 3200, the House version of health care reform legislation, provision is made for “School-Based Health Clinics” (SBHCs for short). Under the provisions of this section, the Secretary of Health...

...This tells me there is going to be nowhere near a free market in health insurance. If there was, insurance companies would offer a very low rate to the youth, since most of them won't have any serious health problems for decades. But, if this is somehow intermingled with those who currently have pre-existing conditions, and the President indicates it does, then there won't be any free market for youth as far as health insurance. Health insurance companies that attempt to offer cheap insurance to youth won't be allowed to do so, since it appears that the "insurance" the youth...

BATON ROUGE -- Louisiana's top health official said Thursday that the state will keep an open mind on whether to apply for the demonstration projects touted by President Barack Obama this week as a way to reduce medical malpractice suits. But state Health and Hospitals Secretary Alan Levine said the pilot programs Obama is proposing would likely be ineffective in reducing health-care costs unless they remove doctors' fears of getting sued. "The state of Louisiana would probably participate in anything that would help improve patient safety," Levine said. "But this is not real tort reform." Levine's comments came a day...

Why is CNN,ABC,CBS,NBC so quiet on this? This could be a scandal of epic proportions and one that makes Nixon's Watergate or Clinton's Monica Lewinsky affair pale by comparison. Why was there neither rhyme nor reason as to which dealerships of the Chrysler Corporation were to be closed? Roll the clock back to the weeks just before Chrysler declared bankruptcy. Chrysler, like GM, was in dire financial straights and federal government graciously offered to "buy the company" and keep them out of bankruptcy and "save jobs." Chrysler was, in the words of Obama and his administration, "Too big to fail,"...

WASHINGTON – The federal deficit surged higher into record territory in August, hitting $1.38 trillion with one month left in the budget year. The soaring deficits have raised worries about the willingness of foreigners to keep purchasing Treasury debt. The Chinese, now the largest foreign owners of U.S. Treasury securities, have expressed concerns about runaway deficits. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other administration officials have sought to address those concerns by insisting that once the recession is over and the financial system is stabilized, the administration will move forcefully to get the deficits under control. However, Republican critics contend the...

The Double Dip Recession, or the “W” shaped recovery that a minority of economists, such as Joseph Stiglitz, is now stating as a strong possible outcome of this current rally, should not be discussed in the realm of economics but rather in the more apropos realm of financial fraud. The fact that the upleg of the “W” shaped recovery that is occurring now will inevitably crumble in spectacular fashion will not be a result of any free market principle, but rather the direct consequence of a fraudulent scheme executed by an elite global financial oligarchy, otherwise known as Central Banks....

Rep. Joe Wilson, the South Carolina Republican who yelled at President Barack Obama during his address to Congress on Wednesday night, wasn't the only one unhappy with what he heard. Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.) walked out. "Congressman Shimkus was frustrated that the president was not offering any new ground and left with just minutes remaining in the speech," spokesman Steven Tomaszewski said Thursday in response to a query from the Tribune.

Ok I have a question... What has Islam ever done to benefit Humankind?

To determine if clash for clunkers was worth it, let's do a little math (I know, math sucks, but stick with me). A vehicle that gets 15 mpg, and travels an average of 12,000 miles per year, uses 800 gallons of gas a year. 12,000 miles / 15mpg = 800 gallons A vehicle that gets 25 mpg, and travels an average of 12,000 miles per year, uses 480 gallons of gas a year. 12,000 miles / 25mpg = 480 gallons Seems pretty good so far, that's almost half as much. Almost. With that number, the average clunker transaction will reduce...

Here is audio of Rush Limbaugh saying that Obama is using 9/11 "to advance his own political leftist radical agenda." Limbaugh said that Obama is trying to get people to "serve him" and that this is "potentially the lowest point of his Presidency." (Audio)

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE FRIENDS WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON_________________________________________________________ From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008: "By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.' He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir. Ideal...
