Castaway Conservative

I have just signed “The Mount Vernon Statement”, signaling a new beginning for conservatives who are committed to returning our nation to its founding principles and philosophies of limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise and defense of family, community and faith — based on a Constitutional rule of law.

More than 80 of today’s most influential conservatives from all walks of life have added their names to this important document, including Media Research Founder, Brent Bozell.

With conservatives under increasing attack by radicals whose intent is to reshape and recast our nation, it is crucial that we take a stand by recommitting ourselves to the first principles that our nation was founded upon.

Take a moment to join with conservatives throughout our nation who are taking this important step by signing “The Mount Vernon Statement” right now.

Get ready to duck, Mrs. Reid, when Dingy Harry gets thrown out on his ear in November.

Reid urges you to get a job, stop beating your wife

Among the arguments made last night for the jobs bill was this one, from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.: jobless men become abusive and hit their wives. The Hill reports: “Women don't have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time,” he said. “Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive,” the majority leader added. “Our domestic crisis shelters in Nevada are…

Kylie Kaiser, a 27-year-old architect from Brooklyn, said New York City’s transit agency is investigating a video she took with her cell phone of an apparently homeless man on the uptown No. 6 train kissing and snuggling a live chicken.

There’s good news tonight. Senate Democrats lose their filibuster-proof 60-seat majority with the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts.

BO and his boys will be dizzy after spinning this one the next few days. Let’s hope it’s just the beginning of getting those Obama scum out of Washington.

Democrats point fingers after stunning loss

Even before the polls closed on Tuesday night, Democrats were distancing themselves from Democrat Martha Coakley and blaming her lackluster campaign for her stunning loss in the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts.

A top adviser to President Obama rejected assertions that Tuesday’s vote was a referendum on the president or Democratic policies and instead took a shot at Coakley: “Campaigns and candidates matter.”

Good night, John Boy. There really is a God.

Liberal Democrats fit well under the definition of schizophrenia:

Schizophrenia, from the Greek roots skhizein (σχίζειν, “to split“) and phrēn, phren- (φρήν, φρεν-; “mind“) is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a neuropsychiatric and mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction.

Democrats, in the main, are “split” away from general society and definitely of a different mind than average Americans, operating within their own “reality.” The part about “paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant or occupational dysfunction” seems particularly apt.

Welcome to America’s longest running hit show — the race farce, in which feigned shock and outrage lead to fawning apologies and bumbling explanations to all the wrong people. Taking offense has been reduced to low comedy in America, as hypocrites play out their assigned parts.Sen. Harry Reid was quoted in a new book as enthusing in 2008 about Obama’s candidacy because he is “light skinned” and speaks without a “Negro dialect, unless he wants one.” Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post called it “beyond stupid” to use the word “Negro” in 2008. Liz Cheney labeled Reid’s words “fairly racist.” And Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele opened up to full throttle, calling on Reid to step down as majority leader.

Only individual initiative and a lot of luck succeeded where Obama and Napolitano failed so miserably.

Off with both their incompetent heads.

Fire Napolitano

Napolitano has a habit of arguing that DHS is a first-responder outfit. Its mission is to deal with “man-caused-disasters” after they occur. It appears she really believes it. If the White House wants to assure people that it takes the War on Terror seriously a term Robert Gibbs used this morning, by the way, they could start by firing this patently unqualified hack.Here she is her own words, over at RealClearPolitics.

Cash for Cloture

Tony Perkins
Washington Update
December 21, 2009

In what columnist Michelle Malkin has dubbed ” Cash for Cloture,” Senator Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) ability to sway all 60 Democratic Senators to vote for his health care bill monstrosity wasn’t an exploit of legislative prowess-but taxpayer-funded bribery.

On the heels of the “Louisiana Purchase,” a deal that saw Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.) pocket $300 million in pork, Senator Reid stuffed billions more into the Democrats’ stockings in exchange for their crucial Sunday night vote. In the leadership’s edition of “Let’s Make a Deal,” Senator Ben Nelson (D-Nebr.) was the biggest winner of all. While Americans in the other 49 states will have to pick up the tab for the bill’s expansion in Medicaid, the Nebraska Democrat made sure his state got off scot-free. He traded in his pro-life scruples for a guarantee that the Cornhuskers will never pay a cent toward the government’s plan. And for what? An abortion “compromise” that may actually be worse than the actual bill.

Under Senator Nelson’s opt-out plan, states can refuse to offer abortion coverage-but their taxpayers will still be subsidizing the states that don’t! Meanwhile, the senators from Vermont and Massachusetts watched the Nebraska deal unfold and decided to negotiate for something similar. All together, these statewide exemptions could cost a minimum of $1.2 billion! Pennsylvania, New York, and Florida all protected their Medicare programs from cuts, while other states will have to find ways to manage with the scaled-back program in the underlying legislation.

Also, Senators Nelson and Carl Levin (D-Mich.) have made sure that certain insurance companies in their states are off the hook from a new $7 billion dollar tax. On page 328 of Senator Reid’s manager’s amendment, Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), the master of illicit sweetheart deals, got his kickback-a $100 million bonus for the University of Connecticut to do with whatever they want. A staunch supporter of the public option, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) was “persuaded” to drop his concerns after Senator Reid offered his state a $10 billion grant for “community health centers”-money that could easily be funneled to facilities that perform abortions. Playing hard-to-get certainly has its advantages in this new political climate.

Yesterday, some of the Democrats who didn’t get the same incentives are kicking themselves. When Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) couldn’t get past the reporters swarming Ben Nelson on her way to the cloture vote, she quipped, “I know I’m not as important as Senator Nelson. I didn’t get the money for my state. I was too stupid.” To read more about how this bill could destroy American medicine, check out this excellent op-ed from Sunday’s Wall Street Journal, ” Change Nobody Believes In.” We do have one quibble with the article though. Senator Nelson might think he got abortion restrictions (he didn’t), but even he admits he isn’t quite sure.

“Let his days be few; and let another take his place of leadership.”

... Psalm 109:8

Unfortunately we will not be able to exchange this shabby, one-size-fits-all Democrat Christmas gift (purchased with our own money) until the next elections, when we can trade it for tar, feathers and one very long rail, upon which to run these morons out of town.

A Reckless Health Care Bill That Nobody Believes In

December 21, 2009

And tidings of comfort and joy from Harry Reid too. The Senate Majority Leader has decided that the last few days before Christmas are the opportune moment for a narrow majority of Democrats to stuff ObamaCare through the Senate to meet an arbitrary White House deadline. Barring some extraordinary reversal, it now seems as if they have the 60 votes they need to jump off this cliff, with one-seventh of the economy in tow.

Mr. Obama promised a new era of transparent good government, yet on Saturday morning Mr. Reid threw out the 2,100-page bill that the world's greatest deliberative body spent just 17 days debating and replaced it with a new “manager's amendment” that was stapled together in covert partisan negotiations. Democrats are barely even bothering to pretend to care what's in it, not that any Senator had the chance to digest it in the 38 hours before the first cloture vote at 1 a.m. this morning. After procedural motions that allow for no amendments, the final vote could come at 9 p.m. on December 24.

Even in World War I there was a Christmas truce.

The Fight Over Fascist ObamaCare Is Only Just Beginning

By Matthew Vadum

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid D-Nev., who may be unaware that he is currently enjoying his final term in the U.S. Senate, claims to have the 60 votes he needs to muscle ObamaCare through his chamber. God help us if he does.

The current iteration of ObamaCare is classic Mussolini-style Fascism i.e. corporatism. It forces Americans at gunpoint to purchase health insurance, a requirement never before imposed on the American people. The big insurance companies and the federal government have combined to subject the public to this tyrannical mandate that Americans overwhelmingly oppose. This is the economic essence of Fascism.
