Liberal Bloggers Showing Up At Sarah Palin Book Signings
This video should be a warning to everyone at the Palin book signings.
Not everyone is there for the same reason. This is a video from a liberal blog site.
[Warning some language]

Even more Communist symbolism (the fist) to once again drive home the reality that at a minimum the Democratic Party has been overrun by Communists.
Keep in mind that about 50% of the USA hates the other 50% of the USA at this point. In a revolution (a Communist goal), you can kiss 25 to 50% of the population good bye!

You guys need to get up to speed on the breaking Global Warming scandal. The blogosphere is on fire. This is big. A pillar of the leftist agenda is showing major signs of cracking. And just before Obama goes to Copenhagen for a GW summit no less.

We are but if you look around you will see there are few of us here actively commenting on any threads. My best guess is that the truth is that Congress will pass Cap & Trade no matter what the truth is. In Communism, you are told what the truth is and accept it. We are headed into another Civil War. Don't forget that Obama's role model is Abe (the railroad lawyer) Lincoln who killed nearly a million in the mid 1800's in his drive into Communism.

Dems snare 60 votes to move ahead on health care
WASHINGTON – Democratic leaders secured the last two votes to move ahead on historic health care legislation, clearing the way for a Saturday night showdown on President Barack Obama's top domestic initiative.
In long-awaited speeches, centrist Sens. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana said they would stand with their party and vote "yes" on the crucial test vote despite deep reservations with elements of the 2,074-page bill to remake the nation's health care system.
"The truth is this issue is very complex. There is no easy fix and it's imperative that we build on what's already working in health care in America," Lincoln told her Senate colleagues.
Hours earlier, Landrieu had delivered her news. The two represent votes 59 and 60 for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who needs that many in the 100-member Senate to go forward. The Senate's 40 Republicans are unanimously opposed.
"I've decided that there are enough significant reforms and safeguards in this bill to move forward, but much more work needs to be done," Landrieu said, with the 8 p.m. EST vote looming.
....
Bla bla bla...
Doom!

O'Reilly: "Let me be bold and fresh again. Do you believe you are smart enough, and incisive enough, intellectual enough, to handle the most powerful job in the world?"
Palin: "I believe that I am because I have common sense, and I have, I believe, the values that are reflective of so many American values. And I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the, um, the, ah -- kind of spineless -- a spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with elite Ivy League education and -- fact resume that's based on anything but hard work and private-sector, free-enterprise principles. Americans could be seeking something like that in positive change in their leadership. I'm not saying that that has to be me."

Simple and Extraordinary Majorities
All questions are to be decided on the Senate floor by simple majority vote
unless a constitutional provision or Senate rule or precedent provides otherwise. A
simple majority vote is defined as at least 50% plus one of the Senators voting,
provided that a quorum is present.
The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to
! expel a Senator,
! override a presidential veto,
! adopt a proposed constitutional amendment,
! convict upon impeachment,
! give the Senate’s advice and consent to ratification of a treaty,
! determine that a president remains disabled, and
! remove political disabilities (now obsolete).
Oh well...

An email I just recevied...
Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama: The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting" .
In 2005 the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000 - nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator.
Oh did we mention that her husband had just become a US Senator? He sure had. Requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way to network Michelle!
But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled. How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000?
Let me add that Michelle's position was a part time, 20 hour a week job. And to think they were critical of Blagoyovich' s wife for taking $100,000 in fuzzy real estate commission.
My thoughts: How did this bit of quid pro quo corruption escape the sharp reporters that dug through Sarah Palin's garbage and kindergarten files? Unbelievable!

That's a disturbing video.
Typical liberal thug-mouth.
Notice that the creeps never approached two guys with their repetitive act; they only challenged smaller, younger people who were alone and/or women. Most street assaults are the same way; liberals attack against older, smaller people.
Cowards.
Conservatives need to be warned ahead of time to look for liberals doing this kind of thing and to be careful not to let themselves be engaged by this kind of trash.

Karin: " It's just a vote to debate. Don't panic yet."
Statistics are that over 90% of all bills that get to debate pass on the 'real' vote. Now THAT'S scary.

Dear, Dirty Detroit
In one of his greatest novels, Ulysses, the Irish writer James Joyce famously referred to his nation’s capital as “dear, dirty Dublin,” thereby expressing his love-hate ambivalence toward the city and land of his birth.
After many years in recovery from the repressive British yoke, Ireland, with Dublin as its centerpiece, would rise from Joyce’s dirt to become the vaunted Celtic Tiger of Europe with the Irish enjoying one of the most robust economies on the face of the planet.
James Joyce would be proud today.
Some of that luster has been lost in the current recession, due as much to the general downturn as to Ireland’s abandonment of proven successful, free enterprise, low taxation, fiscal policies.
Ireland could be an object lesson for the American city of Detroit were it not that Detroit were so far gone. It would be a real stretch for any Detroiter to find much Joycean love for that city.
Once the 4th largest city in America, Detroit is almost moribund. The most liberal big city in the nation has slipped to 11th largest as things became worse and worse and about a million of its citizens gave up and fled.
It has been suggested the best thing to do with this crime-ravaged and economically-destitute town is to bulldoze it and begin all over again.
Would that bulldozing were feasible.
As Rich Lowry wrote on Realclearpolitics.com, Detroit “stands as a stark statement of the failure of urban liberalism.”
Detroit’s decline and fall may have begun with the race riots stoked by MLK in 1968 but the election in 1974 of its first black mayor, Coleman Young, clearly greased the skids. The collapse and bailout of the auto industry merely iced the cake with rancid topping.
Young would reign for 20 years. . . .

Coca-Cola spearheads 1-world climate-change tax
Coca-Cola is spearheading a coalition of more than 100 companies pushing a United Nations climate treaty to bind the U.S. to cap-and-trade emissions regulation, commit the world's wealthiest nations to a potential $10 trillion in foreign aid and, possibly, form a proposed international "super-grid" for regulating and distributing electric power worldwide.

Liberal group condemned for attacking prayer vigil
"What you have is Freedom From Religion Foundation using its normal bullying and intimidating tactics," she explains. "The U.W.-Whitewater has done nothing wrong in letting students know about an event that is student-led to honor and to pray for the family of a victim from the Fort Hood shooting. Freedom from Religion is once again looking for a fight."

The task group is part of the Teacher Education Redesign Initiative, a multiyear project to change the way future teachers are trained at the U's flagship campus. (Minnesota)
The first step toward "cultural competence," says the task group, is for future teachers to recognize -- and confess -- their own bigotry. Anyone familiar with the reeducation camps of China's Cultural Revolution will recognize the modus operandi.

. . . Cases in point are future mamas and papas assiduously studying in the excellent and very reasonably-priced California university system. They have been advised they will face a 32% tuition increase next year and they’re livid.
The students reacted as if they had been told that free condoms would no longer be available at the student center or that free treatment for STD’s would be denied them.
As UCLA grad student Sonja Diaz said of the tuition hikes, ”We are bailing out the banks, we are bailing out Wall Street. Where is the bailout for public education?”

Ugh, she's a fundraiser for nonprofits (can you say ACORN?) Her friends make fun of him, because he's a free-market republican/capitalist. He gets a pass because he has a funny name, similar to Barack Hussein Obama.

The lowest approval for Obama yet on Gallup, and the highest disapproval, and so of course the narrowest margin between them.
