Pro-Life Groups Illegally Investigated

By the government AND the police. For absolutely no reason at all.

DHS admitted it. Destroyed all its assessment copies. But shared with Wisconsin’s intel and local police force. The police force kept its copy but won’t release it to affected parties.

Read the whole thing. Still think the country is in the best of hands?

UPDATE: Anti-Tea Party Web Site Part of Scheme to Funnel Funds

A seemingly grassroots organization that’s mounted an online campaign to counter the tea party movement is actually the front end of an elaborate scheme that funnels funds — including sizable labor union contributions — through the offices of a prominent Democratic party lawyer.

Read more … and be informed.

Shady and dishonest for sure, but not illegal???? Criminy. It should be. It needs to be.

UPDATE: Via Instapundit. FOX has the list of donors. AFSCME is one of them. They gave $9.9M within one year, government money, union dues, to fend off Tea Party protesters.

Influence Or Direction?

Memo Shows SEIU Setting Senate Schedule on Becker Vote

Imagine that. Surprised? I didn’t think so.

Substance Not Process

What bothers me is the content of the supposed Healthcare bill(s).
Over 2,700 pages long for the last, latest version.
Is there anyone that knows all that is in there? All of it?
I have read a good percentage of it from its beginnings through to now.
There is a lot I don’t find necessary, or even good for any of us, in this monstrous bill.

There is too much hidden in this effort to “reform” our healthcare. Not to mention all the subsequent “unintended consequences” that will surely come about should this see the light of enactment.

Even if a Summit were to be held including the GOP, there is no guarantee enough will be “fixed” to assure the country that we won’t be taxed, fee-ed and denied care out of existence.

Sorry, but I am one of those that says – start over and make it smaller, simpler, easier to understand without earmarks and lobbied interests baked into this “reform.”

You have a little less than three years to go, Mr. President. That is most certainly plenty of time to not just do this right and fair to our population but to result in a piece of work that all could be proud of their involvement. Including and especially you. And please, don’t insult us. We are the public that makes this country what it is. We are the ones who voted this administration into office. To refer to us as soured and contaminating your bill is just plain wrong.

Don’t make us regret that. The clock is ticking. Get to work.

Bye Bipartisanship

It appears that the Republicans have given a counter offer to the President’s Super Bowl interview with Katie Couric. Basically, we need to start over concerning health care insurance.

And now, the President, via Mr. Gibbs says no – we need to pass meaningful health insurance reform legislation.

My view: Since this started, there were 47 million folk uninsured. That figure is now held around 30 million. The overall population of the country is near 300 million.

With unemployment what it is and the economy in the condition that it is, why are we trying to change 90 percent of the population for the sake of the remaining ten percent? Why can’t we fix just the ten percent?????

To the Republicans in Congress, I advise – hold your ground. It shouldn’t take a bill (with more than 2,000 pages) to fix ten percent of the uninsured that may need health care insurance.

UPDATE: Waste Not Our Taxpayer Dollars

Apparently, the federal government, aka Administration, didn’t get the memo.

They choose the most expensive commercial timeslot(s) to air a public service message. During the Super Bowl.To tell us how to count and fill out the Census forms.

Irresponsible. Totally. And this is only a PORTION of the $340M they intend to spend on just advertising alone for the upcoming Census. This means the total cost of the Census will be increased by $340M. What else will add to it?

By the way, aren’t the local jobs being filled for this event – part-time for the duration of the Census?

UPDATE: Want to take a poll on this ad?

Greenspan Unsure of Unemployment Rate

And that is putting it mildly.
At least and at last, someone is being closer to honest about this.

UPDATEx2: Gun Rights Attacked? Likely

FBI targets gun business in giant FCPA sting

Wounding the firearms industry? This was tried before, but what is going on now?

UPDATEx1:
In the February 2010 edition of the American Rifleman magazine, there is an important article by Wayne Lapierre titled “The First Step In Trampling Our Rights.”

If you can get the magazine, or haven’t read it yet, I suggest this can be important to you should you believe in the 2nd Amendment as I do – it is an individual Right to Bear Arms. To protect and defend your rights, yours and your family’s lives, your home.

In a nutshell, the leading paragraph tells you everything you need to know. There is more detail, and a worthy read.

SoS Hillary Clinton agrees with a “binding” UN treaty on global control of international trade in firearms and ammunition. The Obama administration is thus participating in the march forward to effectively alter our own sovereignty and eliminating our private ownership of firearms along with the rest of the world.

They don’t mention our 2nd Amendment. At all.

Sure, this first step only speaks to “international trade”. For now. But remember, this world gun-ban effort was created and funded by George Soros. Before and during the Bush administration. Until now, John Bolton protected us from the global gun banners.

Where is our protection now?

UPDATEx2: An important letter to our Leaders.

UPDATEx5: Executive Order 12425 Amended

What the heck is this?

Interpol granted full immunity to operate in the U.S. of A.??????

Anyone else see this? It had damn well better be a mistake.

UPDATEx1: And to think I am paranoid. I am not alone. All my thoughts are duplicated by The Anchoress.

UPDATEx2: Jake Tapper (ABC) appears to have a better assessment of this Amendment to this Executive Order. See if you agree. I think he is probably correct.

UPDATEx3: Let’s get back to the issue of full immunity. There is still some worthy concern there as I feel the same about that. Especially from Andy McCarthy. Yes, why should there be immunity for Interpol – please answer that, White House.

UPDATEx4: Apparently, this is part of a plan. (?) Remember past history. This could be a warning.

UPDATEx5: How about that. Someone in Congress agrees this Executive Order should be undone. About time.

Bad Mental Image

Pole vault? Nancy Pelosi?

Folks, this seems to me to be an attempt to keep us on our toes.
Hoping (they are, I think) to keep us off-balance.

Not. Going. To. Happen.
