From the Resistance

July 14, 2009

Thanks Bill, we shall pass this on!

From the Patriotic Resistance:

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and
Republicans, called upon  America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT
Uniting behind Obama!

I will respect the Office which he holds, legitimately questioned, and
I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray
for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a
one-term President!

Why am I doing this?

It is because I do not share Obama’s vision for  America ;

I do not share his Abortion beliefs;

I do not share his radical Marxist’s concept of re-distributing wealth;

I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make
$150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);

I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;

I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of
marriage;

I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made
public);

I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in
America ;

I do not share his Strategic views of the  Middle East , and certainly do
not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as  Iran .

Bottom line, my  America is vastly different from Obama’s, and I have a
higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right!

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous
entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for
their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and
his spiritual beliefs!

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their
philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their
personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!

They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated
except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have
mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding
and growth of our Country!

They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ
from our Society!

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms,
and the most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked
one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!

Unite behind Obama?  Never!

I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard,
but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe
are the embodiment of Evil!

PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not
sure how history will judge him. 

Majority rules in  America , and I will honor the concept; however, I
will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama
and “his goals for  America .”

I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked,
will destroy our Country!!  Any more compromise is more defeat!

I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat
on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to
slowly change so much of what has been good in  America !

“Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat
it.”

PRUDEN: Franken, a clown for all seasons, arrives in time

Wesley Pruden

We’ve never had an Official U.S. Senate Pornographer before, though pornographic behavior is frequently the entertainment provided to the public by the world’s oldest deliberative body. So Al Franken, the answer to Harry Reid’s prayer, should fit right in.

Some of the Democrats can’t wait to see what mischief they can do. “With the Minnesota recount complete,” Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said after the Minnesota robbery was completed, “it is now clear that Al Franken won the election.”

Actually, it wasn’t clear at all, but clarity is never valued among thieves. The Democrats in the Senate were eager to get Al seated quickly, both for crucial Senate votes coming up and because once seated among his equals, a bum is difficult to throw out.

There’s honor among the members of our only native criminal class, similar to the honor among robbers, burglars and other servants of the night. The difference, and it’s only a slight one, is that robbers, burglars and thieves often hold themselves to higher standards than members of Congress.

Given their handsome majority in the Senate, the Democrats shouldn’t have trouble confirming Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, regardless of whether the senorita is “wiser” than white folks, as she assures us she is, or not quite ready for prime time, as her record on the appeals court suggests.

The first day of hearings on her nomination was the expected partisan patty-cake, full of the hot air and empty bravado that makes July in Washington such a treat. Democratic senators spoke of her as the incarnation of John Marshall and Learned Hand, or at least the equal of David Souter. Republican senators weren’t so sure, but made it clear they have no stomach for making the hearings “a teaching moment.” The Constitution is such a bore for so many of our congressional worthies.

Patty-cake or not, it’s nice to have the pornographer’s 60th vote at the ready. Harry Reid will need Sen. Franken’s vote first for the global-warming legislation, only narrowly passed by the House. The 20-vote margin is nice but cannot necessarily prevent a Republican filibuster, provided the Republicans in the Senate could even find the grit and gumption to mount one. As many as 15 Democrats are thought to be wary of voting for the cap-and-trade tax, fearing retribution from constituents who are waking up to a monumental scam. They’re not at all eager to say “yes, ma’am” and fall in line just because Barbara Boxer of California warns that if the Senate doesn’t pass the bill “there will be dire results: droughts, floods, fires, loss of species, damage to agriculture, worsening air pollution and more.” It’s difficult to imagine what “more” there could be after all those droughts, floods, fires and such. More lady senators like Mzz Boxer, perhaps.

After that, if any of us are still alive, there’s the health care legislation to consider. The White House wants a vote in September, and you can understand the hurry. Like the global-warming legislation, the health care plan, whatever its dire details turn out to be, will evaporate under the glare of close examination.

The theft of Norman Coleman’s Senate seat was remarkably brazen for the way it was done in broad daylight. The techniques of such thievery are peculiar to the various states. Mary Landrieu stole her seat in Louisiana, but authentic fraud shock is rare in Louisiana, and Huey Long didn’t bother to roll to either right or left in his grave. Lyndon Johnson got to the Senate on the strength of a single ballot box in remote Jim Wells County, where he kept going back for more votes until he had the 87 ballots he needed to steal the election from Gov. Coke Stevenson.

But Minnesota imagines itself to be more high minded than Louisiana or Texas, even if the rest of us don’t. One member of the Minnesota canvassing board, a state Supreme Court justice, conceded that some ballots were probably counted twice, but he said there was not much anybody could do about it. In more than 25 precincts, officials counted more ballots than actual voters; this was put down to well-meant enthusiasm. If everyone has a duty to vote, who could scold a voter for going above and beyond the call of duty?

Al Franken’s vote is not likely to be the margin of victory for any of the schemes now being dreamed up by the Democrats, but the way he got to Washington, and the easy acceptance of fraud, will be remembered as typical of the times, an era when avarice reigned, and the clever swindle was a joke to be played by a clown.

 

At least there are some publications left that tell the truth…it’s not about Franken, the story is about political corruptness.

Well the powers that be know there is a good chance the “hate crimes” legislation won’t pass the Senate……Sooo what do they do?  To increase their chances they’re sneaking it into the Defense appropriations bill……a “must pass” bill. The majority don’t want this……..if we’re truly a “Democracy” (that means majority rules) then why is the minority “gay rights” bunch getting so much attention and giving so much pressure to pass what the majority don’t want? We already have laws to punish people for murder. This bill is a clear violation of the 1st and 14th (equal protection) amendments and “double jeopardy. If the state doesn’t punish as good as the federal gov’t thinks it should, then guess what? The federal gov’t will prosecute you for the same crime a second time (double jeopardy is against the law)  If you think about it, most (not all of course) murders are because of hate for some reason.

Senate Democrats Attach Hate Crimes Law to Defense Bill

Senate Democrats said on Monday that they would seek to broaden the federal hate crimes law to protect victims of attacks based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disabilities.

To lift the chances of passage, Democrats said the legislation, known as the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, would be attached as an amendment to the annual defense authorization bill – a must-pass measure.

The proposal is named for Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student who was tied to a fence, beaten and left to die in 1998.

The Senate approved the legislation last year, also as part of the military authorization bill, but it was never reconciled with a similar House-passed bill.

Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said that he would introduce the bill as a bipartisan amendment to the defense authorization measure. Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, is also a prime sponsor.

Although the measure is likely to be approved in the Senate, it is unclear how quickly House Democrats will return to their version.

Opponents of the measure say that it is unnecessary because state law already covers most of the crimes. (Which is true)
