Don't let your RIGHT hand know what your LEFT hand is doing.

COLUMN WRITER ROBERT H. KNIGHT wrote an article about that narrow weekend vote
of the health care bill passed by the House of Representatives.  Nancy Pelosi has put the first "nail" in the Democratic Party's coffin.  Harry Reid will soon get his turn at the hammer.  Then our "President" will take his swing.

This is just another reason why the 2nd Amendment has to be protected. ( More on that later. ) Right now, I want you to read this article.   Mr. Knight has a take on this subject that needs your attention.


House Passes Health Takeover in Late-Night Vote

Monday, Nov. 9, 2009 -- Despite an enormous pushback of e-mails, calls, faxes and a rally of 10,000 people on Capitol Hill on Thursday, the House voted 220 to 215 late Saturday night to pass the massive ObamaCare health takeover plan. The 1,990-page bill, titled the "Affordable Health Care for America Act" (HR 3962), now goes to the Senate, where it is expected to face far more opposition.


The narrow victory for the massive health takeover plan came after passage of the Stupak-Pitts amendment, which bars federal subsidies to health insurance plans that fund abortions. According to Accuracy in Media, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops threw their weight behind the measure, once the abortion amendment was approved. The New York Times reported that the bishops had told President Obama months ago that they would support the health care takeover as long as abortion was not covered.


Here’s how Operation Rescue President Troy Newman described what happened:

The Stupak-Pitts amendment, which will deny tax funding for abortions, handily passed with a vote of 240-194. Abortion funding had threatened to derail the entire House bill on health care with pro-life Democrats strongly opposed to Pelosi’s scheme to force taxpayers to foot the bill for abortions.

A plan to stop the bill by having the amendment fail with pro-life GOP members voting "present" was foiled when National Right to Life told them that they were going to score that vote as "pro-abortion" on their next electoral scorecard. The amendment, according to The Wall Street Journal, "gave cover to 40-some Democrats to support the larger bill."


The Journal, which described the bill as "a breathtaking display of illiberal ambition, intended to make the middle class more dependent on government through the umbilical cord of ‘universal health care,’" editorialized that the bill was ultimately anti-life, since "the government will have no choice but to ration medical care, starting with the aged and grievously ill." Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mi), who had said before the vote that even if his amendment failed, he could still vote for ObamaCare, "played the right-to-lifers like a Stradivarius," the Journal concluded.


However, RedState.com’s Eric Erickson, in a post entitled "Divided We Fall, warned Monday against finger-pointing among conservatives, saying, "Most of the Republican leaders on the Hill encouraged a "yes" vote for the Stupak Amendment because (A) its passage would send a strong message that there is a pro-life majority in the House of Representatives and (B) its passage would not affect the final outcome. Regardless of how you view Stupak, we know now there is a pro-life majority in even this Democratic House of Representatives, and Stupak very clearly will not affect the final outcome." Erickson, like others, predicts that the House-passed bill is "dead on arrival" in the Senate.


Abortion advocates Planned Parenthood and NARAL sharply rejected the Stupak Amendment and vowed to fight it in the Senate. Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richardson condemned House passage of the pro-life amendment and called it an "unacceptable addition to the health care reform bill." With its passage, she said in a statement, Planned Parenthood "has no choice but to oppose HR 3962."


Saturday’s narrow House vote for PelosiCare came four days after voters displayed their displeasure with Washington. The Nov. 3 Republican victories in New Jersey, and Virginia and even passage of the "people’s veto" of homosexual "marriage" in liberal Maine, have sent a message that opposition to the liberal political agenda is rising. So the House Democratic leadership twisted arms for a quick vote on the health bill.


Despite the final vote in the House, people who made the visits and calls should not feel their time was wasted. The harder it is for liberals to pass something, the more they fear doing it the next time. It also sends two messages to the Senate. Abortion could be the poison pill that ultimately will take the bill down. And leaders can ask legislators to fall on their swords and go against constituents only so many times.

NOW, I wish to point out something you are not hearing a lot about. The following events you are either hearing or reading about, while important, is just a distraction. That's right! A DISTRACTION!

Here is why I call it a distraction.

They ( the Liberals / Progressives ) have the power now. Recently, President Obama, through his Attorney General ( Eric Holder ) announced that self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba would be transported onto U.S. soil to face justice in civilian court.

Why?

I believe it is the Democrat's "ACE IN THE HOLE" should they be behind in the polls come time to vote in 2010 and 2012.

By having the trials here in America, the Liberal courts can push the blame on the Bush administration for the way they conducted the theater in the war on terror by exposing any and all interrogation techniques used. When the domestic policies fail you, fall back to foreign polices. It's an old game leaders have used when they want to change the subject. "Tricky Dick" Nixon used it with China during the time of the Watergate scandal. "Slick Willy" used foreign policies when he faced impeachment to avoid the disgrace of lying to the American people of his affair during Kenneth Starr's investigation into the relationship between President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. Ten years ago, anyone who pointed out Bill or Hillary Clinton’s glaringly obvious lies were dismissed as extremists, kooks, dividers, liars, and talk radio robots. Now, for some odd reason — which has nothing to do with the media love affair with Obama — the mainstream media decided to investigate Hillary’s campaign speeches.

The conclusion: Hillary Clinton is a patholigical liar who will say or do anything to get elected.

Well, NO S--T SHERLOCK!!! The Clinton's got away with things that Richard Nixon never even dreamed of doing. And now we have leaders like Obama, Pelosi and Reid to take their place.

SO, lets take a look at this years "illusionists". How is their report card so far?

Consider what Obama and Congress has accomplished just since January:

--He has smeared medical doctors with reckless charges that they administer unnecessary courses of treatment for profit, e.g., tonsillectomies and limb amputations.

--He publicly berated Chrysler's senior creditors as a "small group of speculators" who "endanger Chrysler's future by refusing to sacrifice like everyone else," merely because they wouldn't acquiesce to his demands and insisted on asserting their contractual rights.

--He has demonized "big oil" and other energy producers, free market capitalists, corporate executives, pharmaceutical companies, Republicans who oppose his health care plan as dishonest and partisan, the wealthy, municipal policemen who dared arrest his Ivy League professor friend for disturbing the peace, pro-lifers, global warming skeptics, the CIA, the military, the best health care system in the world, and George W. Bush every time he needs cover for the inevitably negative consequences of his policies.

--He uses his White House blog to attack his political opponents.

--He condemned opponents of amnesty for illegal aliens as "demagogues."

--He foreshadowed his true nature in the campaign with his spontaneous denunciation of small-town Americans as bitterly clinging to their guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them.

--His administration has likened "tea party" protestors to an "angry mob" and "potential terrorists." His adviser David Axelrod has said they "are not in the mainstream and not in the majority" and represent "the angriest and most strident voices."

--In reference to opponents of his health care scheme, he said in a speech to a joint session of Congress, "I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than improve it." He also said: "I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them just to get out of the way so (Democrats) can clean up the mess." And this: "If you misrepresent what is in this plan, we will call you out."

--He has targeted and vilified the entire insurance industry for daring to oppose his plan, describing them as "those who would bend the truth -- or break it -- to score political points and stop our progress as a country," and accusing them of "filling the airwaves with deceptive and dishonest ads ... designed to mislead the American people." Even the liberal New York Times acknowledged Obama's use of "unusually harsh terms" in attacking the industry as being "interested only in preserving their own 'profits and bonuses.'" And in a true Stalinesque intimidation move, he is threatening to repeal the industry's antitrust exemption.

--He has abused the office of the presidency to personally attack Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and conservative talk radio in general. As we speak, his "czars" are devising schemes to shut down that very medium.

--Now he has launched an orchestrated attack against the only television network that makes a sincere effort at offering balance, Fox News Channel, in an attempt to isolate, demonize and delegitimize the organization because it won't follow suit and join the state-run media. The administration is vacillating between boycotting and allowing some administration officials to appear on the network. Obama singled Fox out as "entirely devoted to attacking my administration." Rahm Emanuel said it's "not a news organization so much as it has a perspective." David Axelrod said, "It's really not news; it's pushing a point of view." Axelrod implored ABC's George Stephanopoulos and his network "not to treat (Fox) as a news organization." White House communications director Anita Dunn, who has bragged about her success at controlling the media, said Fox is "like a wing of the Republican Party" that "spouts Republican talking points."

The common denominator of all these vicious White House attacks is that their targets are those who oppose the administration's agenda. Instead of selling its agenda the old-fashioned way -- by convincing the unconvinced -- it attacks those who dare to articulate and air the opposing point of view. This is a totalitarian, bullying administration, which is revealing its heightened state of panic and desperation over the public's growing awareness of the dangerousness of its policy prescriptions for America.

Want more proof?

The DHS under Janet Napolitano, is trying to demonize political dissent. And it's no big surprise who's directly in their crosshairs: supporters of the Second Amendment, including veterans and gun owners. Therefore, you and I are now being viewed as dangerous rightwing extremists that law enforcement officials need to be watching out for!

According to the MIAC report, if you oppose any of the following, you could qualify for being profiled as a potential dangerous "militia member":

The United Nations
The New World Order
Gun Control
The violation of Posse Comitatus
The Federal Reserve
The Income Tax
The Ammunition and Accountability Act
A possible Constitutional Convention
The North American Union
Universal Service Program
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Abortion
Illegal Immigration

With a report card such as this, DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY HAVE A SNOWBALLS CHANCE OF GETTING RE-ELECTED? Can America afford 7 more years of this obvious abuse of power ( or at the very least, "STUPIDITY" that borders closer and closer towards TREASON ).

I don't.

These Liberals in the Democrat Party have placed ALL their eggs in one basket. Health care is just the latest addition. They didn't care what we said at those town hall meetings in August. They have the majority in both houses. And in order to stay there, they plan to push the "Bush" button as long, hard and often as they can. They hope you'll be so engrossed in these trials ( as many were during the trials of O. J. Simpson and Michael Jackson ) you won't catch them rewriting history, laws and our CONSTITUTION. And Hollywood will help them as usual. If fact, it has already begun with movies like 2012 which is already in theaters. Already the focus of Americans are on the Earth's destruction, this time from a Mayan Prophecy. ( Whatever happened to that "global warming" crap they said would be our demise. )

See?   A DISTRACTION!

If you are stupid enough to still put your trust in Washington these days, I have some "swamp land" in Nevada and a "bridge" in San Fransisco to sell you.

REAL CHEAP!
