AMERICAN CONSERVATISM IN 2008 AND BEYOND

They did not steal it!

They did not steal it!

I believe you would be very hard put trying to defend the real results of Nancy Pelosi's promise to "drain the swamp" of Congressional cronyism, self-aggrandizement, misuse of earmarks, and deal-making in furtherance of their political agendas.

House Democratic leaders on Wednesday banned budget earmarks to private industry, ending a practice that has steered billions of dollars in no-bid contracts to companies and set off corruption scandals.

The ban is the most forceful step yet in a three-year effort in Congress to curb abuses in the use of earmarks, which allow individual lawmakers to award financing for pet projects to groups and businesses, many of them campaign donors.

Define "unduly obstructionist".

Nonsense. They are just making (rather late in the day) a virtue out of piously "denying themselves " the misue of earmarks to reward their political foes and the scapegoats they use for their own political ends.

In March, the House Appropriations Committee announced reforms to the earmark process, which members of Congress use to designate federal funds for projects in their districts.

The reform requires members to post their earmark requests online, including the proposed recipient, the address of the recipient, the amount of the request, and an explanation of the purpose of the earmark and why it is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds. The Senate has done the same.

. However, when it comes to misusing public funds to reward their political supporters they are every bit as eager to continue the venality. They have merely added another layer of hypocrisy to the pile of horeseshit they have made with the flagrant payoffs for votes for their favored legislation; misuse of government authority to reward and payoff labor unions; and coverups for the misbehavior of the untouchable but corrupt icons of the "Black" caucus.

Past bragging rights, the ramifications are deadly: There were more than 30,000 fatal crashes in the U.S. last year, including more than 5,000 deaths just from “distracted driving,” such as cellphone use, according to data released last week. In trying to get some definitive answers, The Daily Beast used crash data—because accidents provide an objective way to define someone as a bad driver, or not—and focused on fatal crashes, using the most recent available data (2009) since those are uniformly reported state-by-state. From there, we specifically measured fatal crashes where driver mistake was a key factor: DUI, blowing through stop signs, careless or inattentive driving and the like.

What was more surprising: how the breakdown between states with more dangerous drivers and safer drivers fell almost completely along the lines of the 2008 McCain-Obama election, with the Republicans again coming up on the short end. Nine of the 10 worst-performing states went for McCain, while nine of the 10 best performers voted for Obama

Communist Party USA motto is "YES WE CAN!"
Saul Alinsky's Socialist Rules for Radicals motto and theme is "HOPE AND CHANGE"...
...Think the communist threat is past? Think again!
From June 15, 2010:
Last month, the Communist Party USA held its convention in New York where the program to take over America continued to be laid out. A program that would destroy America and American ideals and place us all under Marxist Communist control. Each point was met with boistrous chants of, "Yes We Can!"

Saul Alinsky was a Community Organizer based out of Chicago, advocate of Socialism & Communism, and author of "Rules for Radicals" (championed as the Communist Manifesto for the modern times). The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is "first to bring folks to the realization that they are miserable, their misery is a result of greedy corporations, help bond them together and demand what they deserve from said greedy corporations". Barack Obama sounds terrifyingly similar to Alinsky when he speaks of taking profits from "greedy companies" and distributing that capital to those he sees fit. Alinsky's approach to social justice relies solely on creating massive conflict between those who "have" and those who "have-not".

Alinsky proclaimed that "we have a war on our hands... a war between those with the money and those with the people... if we can convince the people they are miserable, then we can gather the people". Again, Obama is the champion of creating tension through class warfare in demonizing the rich, and striving to tax them into oblivion.

"The use of 'The Ideology of Change and Hope', Alinsky proclaims "is a power technique (and) is key to mobilizing 'the dispossessed' to ban together and create pressure on the system". The use of "Hope" and "change" is something Alinksy taught as an Ideological power technique... interesting that Obama's entire campaign is based on themes of "hope and change we can believe in".

It is no conincidence that Obama uses all these mantras. He is indoctrinated in communisim and marxism. Look at what he says and what he has been doing for almost two years. His march toward marxism and totalitarianism is indisputable. Obama must be recognized to be a communist and marxist and not glossed over like the communist media that is a cohort of the black marxist.

His march toward marxism and totalitarianism is indisputable.

Coburn Holding Up Millions Of Dollars In Aid For Haiti Earthquake Survivors Over Obscure Objection

coburnian Last spring, the United States pledged nearly $1.2 billion in emergency aid to Haiti following its tragic earthquake that left hundreds of thousands of people dead and many more homeless.

Yet the Associated Press (AP) reports today that “not a cent of the $1.15 billion the U.S. promised for rebuilding has arrived” to Haitians who badly the need the aid. This summer, both the House and the Senate passed a bill that would make $917 million available for Haiti reconstruction aid. Yet Congress must also pass an authorization bill that directs exactly how the money will be spent, and thus far, the U.S. Senate has failed to do.

The AP conducted its own investigation of why the Senate has failed to pass the authorization bill, and it discovered that a single senator “pulled it for further study.” After calling dozens of senators’ offices, the AP discovered that the senator holding up the bill is Tom Coburn (R-OK). Coburn spokeswoman Becky Berhardt explained that the reason he is holding up the bill is because he objects to the creation of a senior Haiti coordinator — a position that would cost a paltry $5 million over five years — when the United States currently has an ambassador to the country.
