The Health Care "Shell" Game Begins
It's Three Card Monte as the dems risk it all

Millions Being Spent to Sway Democrats on Health Care Bill
The Chicago Way at full tilt boogie.

Democrats aren't suicidal.They're self-executing
The crunch of broken arms is loud enough to be heard from behind giant mahogany doors.

[WHY?

Why are they willing to throw so many junior members off a cliff for this?

A: Because THIS IS the holy grail of socialist ambition in America - there's a reason they try it again and again...

If achieved, it will inevitably destroy all private-sector competition, and eventually serve as the primary mechanism through which any & all social engineering can be inacted.

Exaggeration?

Are you familiar with the "home visits" called for by the Senate bill under consideration by the oh-so-helpful folks from Social Service?

FLASHBACK: Guess Who's Coming to Your House

Do you spank your children? You should know that HHS bureaucrats think you are an abuser.

Are you aware that the IRS will have a role in your family's health care?

FLASHBACK: What The Health Care Bill Actually Says

pages 167-168, section 401, TAX ON INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE:
1. This section amends the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Anyone caught without acceptable coverage and not in the government plan will pay a special tax.
3. The IRS will be a major enforcement mechanism for the plan...

FLASHBACK Highly Recommended>

I.E., this IS the socialists end game: if anything is passed which weaves the government into the control of health care its eventual domination of it is inevitable, after which government has gained simply too much power over the welfare of your family to resist - and we have Amerika.

Everything possible is being used to threaten/bribe the necessary votes in congress - only one thing stands a chance of countering that influence.

Again. Now. Silence will be interpreted as consent...

Coffee Party 'Is Loosely Based on Smaller Government and Lower Taxes'???

Subject: txt 1st lbrty 2010 msm bias - TV Reporter:
It's incredible what you can learn from television these days. On Saturday, Brent Frazier of Nashville's CBS affiliate reported on a local Coffee Party. He made no mention of the attendance, but at about 2:06 of the video says:

"The Coffee Party, though very much still in the organizing phase, is loosely based on smaller government and lower taxes. "

I have to wonder how the newshound came to that conclusion.

Was it because the group's founder worked as a volunteer for Barack Obama's presidential campaign?

Or maybe it was the Reuters acknowledgment that

"America’s conservative Tea Party movement may be on the boil, but the left is brewing up its own version in The Coffee Party USA."

Or perhaps it was the Coffee Party participant Frazier interviewed who volunteered for Obama but is now disillusioned because

"Obama's just not pushing the left hard enough"

With reporting skills like that, one thing is clear. Brent has a very bright future in the mainstream media.

CBS News Gets Coffee Party Fever: It's a Lot Like TEA Parties

Subject: txt 2010 msm bias libs -
On Friday, CBSNews.com's blog ran a gushing article that amounted to free advertising for the left's new fabrication of a burgeoning 'coffee party'. Aside from the friendly tone and complete lack of criticism, the most astounding part was when it claimed that many issues discussed at a Coffee Party could just as well have come from a TEA party...

Condon's article began with the oh-so-innocent headline "Is The "Coffee Party" The Next Big Thing?" The opening paragraph ran like something right from a brochure: [snip]

It's easy to be the next big thing when the media give you all the publicity you need, such as instantly 'featured' in the New York Times, CNN's Political Ticker, the Washington Post, and many local papers like the Seattle Times - all conveniently skipping the part it's the creation of Washington activists and has no grass-roots component... [snip]

In contrast, this is how the Political Hotsheet covered last year's April 15 protest [after months of ignoring the phenomenon altogether]... [snip]

Let's read that whopper from above, one more time:

"The issues likely to come up at Saturday's meetings could very well arise at a Tea Party meeting."

Except for the flaming liberal agendas, embracing of big government, Democrat campaign workers, Plouffe-style astroturfing, calls for regulation, and Facebook notes that "vent" about TEA parties... they're practically the same.

Thanks for the hard-hitting expose, CBS.

A reminder of how grateful we should be to our Iraq veterans

Subject: txt heroes gwot nsec -
You must not miss this beautifully written article by a young soldier returned from Iraq who sacrificed so much--as did his colleagues--to free the people of Iraq at the direction of a Congress and voters who now seem to be oblivious to their accomplishments.

I came home expecting to find the sacrifice of these brave patriots revered at every turn by those who overwhelmingly sent us to war from Washington.
I'm still looking.

If you can't bring yourself to give the living the sense of accomplishment for winning a war that many claimed was endless, at least humor the dead. Allow them to rest knowing that the war that took their lives was won because of their sacrifice.

Is that too much to ask for?

The firefight ebbs. The mortar fire ceases. A few last stray rounds streak past. A cry from behind causes me to turn. Lying in the road is a young Iraqi woman. I run over to help. She’s caught a round just below her temple. Her stunning beauty has been ruined forever.

She cries, “Paper! Paper” over and over until the ambulance arrives to take her away. An old lady emerges from the schoolhouse-turned voting site, sheets of blue paper in hand. She gives one to the wounded girl, who clutches it to her like a prized possession even as the ambulance carries her away.

The ballot was her voice. All she wanted was a chance to exercise it, just once, before she died.

The old woman returns to the school house, but drops another ballot along the way. It drifts in a gentle breeze across the bloodstained asphalt. I stoop down and pick it up. It is all in Arabic, and I have no idea what each set of candidates advocate. That’s not my place, and it doesn’t really matter. I helped make this day happen. This ballot represents the reason why we’re here, why my friends had to die.

I am not naive. I understand that there are individuals who opposed the war in Iraq from the very beginning and I believe their passion, although misguided at times, is rooted in a deep desire for peace. What always baffled me was the reaction they had to pro-victory veterans when we came home. As if we were some robotic arm of the Bush White House. It was foreign for them to understand why winning in Iraq was so important.

Our friends died in this cause.

There is no honor in their death unless we complete the mission they died fighting.

The ones that hold my contempt are those who, even today, know of the sacrifice made, the incredible progress gained and still will not acknowledge what was won on the ground in Iraq. They cheapen the sacrifice of how it was earned. Operation Iraqi Freedom is no more.

Operation New Dawn (the exact same name of the Battle of Fallujah in November 2004) is the new name of the deployment to Iraq.

What we achieved in the face of an implacable enemy, overcoming many in our own government willfully ignorant of our struggle, is what I believe to be the defining moment of my generation. The veteran today is the embodiment of what it means to be an American. Even when our valor was used for political sport, we continued to serve quietly.

This is truly without precedent.

Indonesia: Forced church closings spike

All is not well for Christians in the world's largest Muslim country

BEKASI, Indonesia – Packed into the living room of a small house here, several hundred Christians, all dressed in their Sunday best, whispered to each other over the sermon.

“But as an Indonesian and as a follower of Christ, we will still worship,” said Pieterson Purba, a visiting pastor, in response to news that local authorities planned to seal off their makeshift church and force them to move. “And with nowhere else to go, we will continue to worship right here in this house.”

A week later, on Feb. 28, an angry mob of fundamentalist Muslims attacked their morning service for the second time, demanding they leave the neighborhood...

Three weeks after promising to check on the matter, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs still did not have an answer to the charge by former Navy admiral and Pennsylvania Senate candidate Rep.

On Tuesday, Major Garret of Fox News asked Gibbs about Specter's comments that Sestak needs to prove his claim and that the accusation is ''hurting the White House, damaging its reputation''
