Democrats Scrambling to Come Up With a Plan B
Democrats May Seek to Push Health Bill Through House
WASHINGTON — The White House and Democratic Congressional leaders, scrambling for a backup plan to rescue their health care legislation if Republicans win the special election in Massachusetts on Tuesday, have begun laying the groundwork to ask House Democrats to approve the Senate version of the bill and send it directly to President Obama for his signature.
A victory by the Republican, Scott Brown, in Massachusetts would deny Democrats the 60th vote they need in the Senate to surmount Republican filibusters and advance the health legislation.
And with the race too close to call, Democrats are considering several options to save the bill, which could be a major factor in how they fare in this year’s midterm elections.

This is a time for courage
Sunday, May 17, 2009
At the TEA PARTY, a black man, Dr. Donald May, delivered this message from the courthouse steps in Lubbock, Texas. He electrified the audience like I haven't seen in a long time. His delivery was masterful. I am sorry you could not see him in action. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy his words. The news media was there, but not one word of this mans appearance ever appeared on TV or in print, even though he completely dominated the scene.
This is a time for courage

Ladies and gentlemen, This is a Time For Courage.
We are gathered here today on the Plains of West Texas in common purpose. We are here to remind our government that this is our country, We the People are still in charge, and our government is still our servant and not our master.
Our Nation’s founding document is The Declaration of Independence. It tells us that our rights come from God and not from a small group of Elite men and women.
Our Constitution starts with the words “We the People.” Our Constitution was written for ordinary Americans like you and me. Our Constitution protects us from our government and from the politicians.
Our President has complained that our Constitution gives ordinary people too much protection.
He has ridiculed us for the high value we place on our Bibles, our guns, our personal property, and our Liberty . He tells us we do not deserve to keep the money we have earned.
We are told freedom has not worked. Personal responsibility, free enterprise, and Liberty have not been effective. Our government will now make more of our decisions for us.
Other than our military, I can think of not one government agency I have ever found to be helpful.
And speaking of our military, how about those Navy Seals blowing the heads off those three terrorist pirates? Don’t you just wish our entire government would function with such efficiency, professionalism, and courage?
We watch in disbelief as our beloved United States is weakened economically, militarily, and morally by a Radical President and his eager accomplices.
What has taken generations to build is systematically destroyed and replaced with the same Socialist Evil that brought poverty, destruction, and despair to untold hundreds of millions.
The problems we face today have occurred because we have not defended our Nation from Socialism. For too long we have allowed the wrong people to make the worst possible decisions.
The Bible warns us of class hatred. The Radical leadership of our government daily fans the evil flames of class envy.
Our European and Canadian friends beg us to not make the same Socialist mistakes they did.
The President of the European Union warned our President that his Socialist economic plans are taking the World down the “road to Hell.”

Obama Budget More Pie in the Sky Than Chicken in Every Pot
by Janet Crain
There is entirely too much speculating and extrapolating and counting chickens before they hatch to make this budget work. And now Obama's chickens are coming home to roost as his Democratic Barons are expressing these cold hard facts. You can discuss these lofty ideas in academia until the cows come home, but whether they will work in the real world is the question. You simply cannot buy, buy, spend, spend now based on money you expect and hope will materialize in the future. Of course many did. That is what got us in this mess.
Obama’s Budget Faces Test Among Party Barons
WASHINGTON — What the Democratic barons of Congress liked best about President Obama’s audacious budget was his invitation to fill in the details. They have started by erasing some of his.
The apparent first casualty is a big one: a proposal to limit tax deductions for the wealthiest 1.2 percent of taxpayers. Mr. Obama says the plan would produce $318 billion over the next decade as a down payment for overhauling health care.
But the chairmen of the House and Senate tax-writing committees, Senator Max Baucus of Montana and Representative Charles B. Rangel of New York, have objected to the proposal, citing a potential drop in tax-deductible gifts to charities.
Billions in savings from cutting government subsidies to big farmers and agribusinesses? No dice, said Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota, who heads the Senate Budget Committee.
Mr. Conrad also panned the limit on tax deductions. And his criticisms of those savings proposals aside, Mr. Conrad said Mr. Obama’s 10-year plan would not do enough to reduce future debt.
Shrink spending on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security? Representative John M. Spratt Jr. of South Carolina, chairman of the House Budget Committee, suggested Mr. Obama’s proposals did not go far enough.
Cap industries’ emissions of the gases blamed for climate change? Representative Henry A. Waxman of California, who leads the House Energy and Commerce Committee, will have to contend with dissent on a panel with Democrats from coal and manufacturing states.
“The legislative process requires compromise and being open to different alternatives,” Mr. Waxman said.

Letting Kids Be Kids
by Janet Crain
There used to be a bubble that children lived in where politics did not rear itssometimes often ugly head. Carefree lovely childhood in the finest country in the world. I miss that.
We now live in a country where people buy such ridiculous apparel as onesies for a 6 month old with "Bush Spied" on the front. What 6 month really cares if Bush spied or anyone else? And even less tasteful such as this: http://t-shirts.cafepress.com/item/war-criminals-kids-tshirt/45117421 IMO,it takes a really stupid person to turn their child into awalking crawling billboard for hate politics or an advertisement for the tactics of a 6 six week President.
And any parent who puts this shirt on a 6 year old shouldn't be surprised when they have an anti-government, anti-authority of any kind teenager ten years down the road.
And now they've taken over cartoons, for Heaven's Sake!
Nickelodeon Broadcasts Cartoon Homage to 'Dear Leader' Obama
By P.J. Gladnick (Bio | Archive)

Does anyone here recall Nickelodeon presenting a cartoon homage to President George W. Bush? No? Of course not. "Wrong" politics. However, if you think your very young children are safe from being exposed to subtle political brainwashing while watching Nick Jr., which presents Nickelodeon cartoons for children 5 and under, you would be wrong. Check out this poetic cartoon homage to Barack Obama currently running on Nick Jr.. Here is what your young ones will hear:
Nickelodeon celebrates President Barack Obama and some of his favorite things.
Barack Obama is the first African-American to be President. That is what's called a historic event.
Leading a country is no easy task. So what does he do to relax you may ask?
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
He loves shrimp linguini and the chili he cooks. He also plays Scrabble; collects comic books.
He likes classical and hip-hop and jazz music too. He always goes shopping for the same type of shoe.
He reads lots of books and writes wonderful speeches. He goes on vacation and takes walks on beaches.
He loves basketball; it's his favorite sport. In the White House backyard he'll have his own court.
He reads bedtime stories to his daughters at night. The President in pajamas? What a sight!
Now you know the President better than before. Which leaves just one thing, when he sleeps does he snore?
For more about President Barack Obama, go to parents.nickjr.com.
Perhaps your humble correspondent is a wee bit old fashioned but he doesn't recall any politics injected into the Tom & Jerry or Bugs Bunny cartoons he watched while a kid. This isn't the first time Nickelodeon has been involved in subjecting children to liberal politics. In October 2007, Nickelodeon was exposed here in NewsBusters for pushing leftwing propanda. Here was the complaint posted by a mother on her blog:
This Nickelodeon “news program”, is not a news program. It is a leftist primer on how to be a “left-wing radical REBEL”.
I am not a blind follower of our Government, and I also think that Government should be watched by it’s citizens. It is our civic duty.
However this program led by Ellerby, is anti-war, anti- GWOT, anti-military.
This “news program” is not about people changing the World around them.
Ms. Ellerby uses leftist propaganda buzz words like “taking on the establishment”.
She shows a group of “tweenagers” walking around in orange jumpsuits, hooded and yelling from a bullhorn. “We are not ok, with people being tortured by American soldiers!” “Are cooperation’s priority over human lives?”
There is also a call for the impeachment of the President in the second segment of the video, “democracy is at stake because of the President violating the Constitution”.

David Frum on How Republicans Can Regain Lost Power
by Janet Crain
David Frum says the Republicans can regain lost power if they only become more like Democrats.
His first premise below is refuted by the fact that John McCain beat Obama 74 to 25 percent among white Texas college students. That is a huge margin in a huge state. Yes, demographics are changing, but you know what, Hispanics don't necessarily vote Democratic. Hispanics are conservative with strong family values. And most blacks reject the same sex marriage thing and many reject abortion. An article in the same issue; The Lone Star State Stays Red by Evan Smith explains why he does not see Texas turning blue or even purple despite the influx of newcomers to the urban areas.
POLITICS
How the GOP Can Rise Again
There's no need to abandon basic Republican principles. Instead, just cool the scorched-earth rhetoric and focus on reclaiming the educated middle class.

A generation ago, the great majority of the most educated Americans voted Republican. The elder George Bush, for instance, defeated Michael Dukakis among college graduates by 25 points. But that advantage has been eroding, and last year Barack Obama became the first Democrat since Lyndon Johnson to win a majority of American voters with four years of higher education.
This is no small bloc, especially within white America, where Republicans do best. Almost one third of white Americans hold a college degree, up from one fifth in 1990. Republicans cannot win without this growing group. To recover them, we need to do four things:
