Sarah Palin: The Pelosi Bill Was Rammed Through on Saturday, But Sunday’s Coming

Sarah Palin: The Pelosi Bill Was Rammed Through on Saturday, But Sunday’s Coming

"We’ve got to hold on to hope, and we’ve got to fight hard because Congressional action tonight just put America on a path toward an unrecognizable country.

The same government leaders that got us into the mortgage business and the car business are now getting us into the health care business.

Despite Americans’ decisive message last Tuesday that they reject the troubling path this country has been taking, Speaker Pelosi has broken her own promises of transparency to ram a health “care” bill through the House of Representatives just before midnight. Why did she push the 2,000 page bill this weekend? Was she perhaps afraid to give her peers and the constituents for whom she works the chance to actually read this monstrous bill carefully, if at all? Was she concerned that Americans might really digest the details of a bill that the Wall Street Journal has called “the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced”?..."

Dems' Healthcare Means Tax Increases

"The federal government has put taxpayers on the hook this year for hundreds of billions of dollars to stimulate the economy and pump up the banking sector and auto industry. The out-of-control spending has mortgaged the future with historic debt and diminished present-day opportunities for economic recovery. In addition, there’s widespread frustration and anger about Washington’s policies being directed at Wall Street and hand-picked companies, with little or no relief going to Main Street or the average person.

There’s added insult and injury in pending health care legislation. It would make the typical person worse off due to higher health insurance premiums and tax increases..." Dem's Healthcare Means Tax Increases

unemployment 10.2% saved or created or unemployment

Saved or Created or Unemployment from Redstate.com

""Unemployment this morning topped 10.2%, even though the number seeking employment has declined. Many have just given up. Likewise, and more troublesome, the average hours worked in a week is at its lowest in decades — 33 hours. That suggests employers are going to just expand hours worked in the future, instead of hiring new people. So the unemployment number will stay high for a while.

On January 18, 2009, Obama’s top economics advisor Larry Summers said Barack Obama’s stimulus plan would keep unemployment below 10%...." entire Article from Redstate.com

Sarah Palin Responds to VP Biden

As the vice president knows, I have always advocated an all-of-the-above approach to American energy independence. Among other things, my alternative energy goal for Alaska sits at 50 percent because Alaska reached more than 20 percent during my term in office. The Obama-Biden administration, on the other hand, recently announced a renewable goal of only 25 percent. However, domestic drilling should remain a top priority in order to meet America’s consumption and security need

Not Evil Just Wrong the Movie

Not Evil Just Wrong the Movie:

"The film points out that the British High Court ruled in a lawsuit that Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, “is scientifically flawed and has nine significant exaggerations and factual errors.” Among those exaggerations are the claims that sea levels could rise 20 feet by the end of the century, and that polar bears are disappearing because of global warming (in fact, they are not).

Not Evil Just Wrong also presents a number of scientists and a founding member of the radical environmental organization Greenpeace, who are unafraid to challenge the chief scientific claims behind global warming.

For example, the arctic ice is not disappearing. In fact, in the last two years, it has expanded. (Bet you haven’t heard that in the media.) Another widely publicized claim is that 1998 and 2006 were the warmest years in the history of the U.S. Again, not true. 1934 was. In fact, as Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT says, “warming has not been increasing and has not even been present for 13 years...." from Breakpoint.org

"It had gone largely unnoticed that former Los Angeles Times columnist and Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks had been tapped by the Obama administration for a senior spot in the Pentagon.

Brooks, whose last two columns at the Times were "Bail Out Journalism" and "Bush's Big Lies" is a pretty hard-line liberal who frequents the sets of Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann.

Her legal work, which focuses on international human rights law, includes stints with Amnesty International and the George Soros-funded Open Society Institute .

Her last diatribe against George W. Bush includes both scare quotes around "war on terror" and a Bush-Nazi comparison:

Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name of Jesus to Comply With White House Request

As of Wednesday afternoon, the “IHS” monogram that had previously adorned the stage at Georgetown’s Gaston Hall was still covered up--when the pediment where it had appeared was photographed by CNSNews.com

Tea party protests coming to Kentucky

""They've become the hottest things among conservative and libertarian activists around the country who are upset about the government bailouts and ballooning federal budget deficit. And there's one coming to Louisville on Wednesday.

So-called "tea parties" -- some of them large-scale, grass-roots protests -- have been springing up across the country ever since a national television personality suggested them as a way for people to show their anger.

Wendy Caswell, a 24-year-old restaurant worker who is organizing the tea party downtown at Jefferson Square, said it could attract 1,500 people. "That's a rough estimate," she said. "It could be 5,000, it could be less (than 1,500). But I don't think it's going to be less."

The events take their name from the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when American colonists opposed to the Tea Act and its British-imposed tax on tea staged an uprising and threw hundreds of chests of tea into Boston Harbor.

The idea was originally popularized by financial reporter Rick Santelli during a rant on CNBC. Since then, there have been tea parties from California to New York.

Many of them will be held throughout the country on April 15 -- the deadline for filing income tax returns.

Kentucky parties are scheduled that day in Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, Frankfort and Paducah.

Caswell said that the Republican and Libertarian parties in Jefferson County are helping organize Wednesday's event and that she has been overwhelmed by the response so far after publicizing it on a couple of tea party-related Web sites.

"I've talked to more than 1,000 people myself," she said. "When I got started, it wasn't going to be this huge. I thought, if I could get 50 people to walk around and make a big scene, it would be great."

Caswell, a registered Democrat who said she's a social liberal and fiscal conservative, said she decided to organize the tea party in response to a fairly recent interest in politics..... Read Entire Article in the Louisville Courier Journal
