AMERICAN CONSERVATISM IN 2008 AND BEYOND

Cyclo, no reason to worry about the sky falling. Obama hasn't yet determined how to control the sky. But Obama has determined a way to control America.

Consequently, America is falling .....

and if not stopped, it will take everyone with it including the wealth REDistributionists.

We will determine our fate in November 2010 ....

ican, How many ways has Obama controlled your life? Please be specific.

What about that situation says to you that the Republicans will have any success in these elections?

Whether or not a majority of the Republicans have any success in the 2010 elections is irrelevant. What is relevant is whether or not a majority of the Democrats will have any success in the 2010 elections. THEY WILL NOT!

Independents, conservatives, constitutionalists, and TEA Party members will have a tremendous success. Only those Republicans who behave like Conservatives and/or TEA Party members will have success, too!

Keep on laughing, Cycloptichorn ... while you can!

In short, you have no real data with which to make these predictions on, it's just your emotions talking. I wouldn't bet on any meaningful gains in the House or Senate if I were you; in fact, the Senate is going to be a struggle on your part not to lose MORE seats this cycle.

We're taking our country back!
Today our "on the ground" team of bloggers blew open a story about how the NRCC is folding up its operation in NY23 and retreating in its war against the movement.

As we reported a few days ago, the NRCC and GOP establishment in the beltway has continually supported, funded and worked the liberal Republican campaign of Dede Scozzafava.

The NRCC was even running TV hit pieces against conservative candidate Doug Hoffman.

Of course, this hasn't set well with the Tea Party Movement. Many nationwide Tea Party leaders are organizing a major nationwide GOTV effort in support of Hoffman.

Thanks to all the countless hours of work on the part the Tea Party Movement, 9/12 groups and other free-market activists, the tide has turned and Hoffman is now positioned to take the race.

This is all thanks to you. Keep the pressure on!

Keep on dreaming your "famous last words!"

Cycloptichorn, there is no need for you to worry! There will even be a place for you!

Pelosi’s Halloween Healthcare Horrors:
Death for the Baby Boomers, Jail for the Middle Class, Free Healthcare for Illegal Aliens
By Congressman John Carter
Today House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled the long-awaited healthcare “reform” bill in the House of Representatives. It is a horrific assault on the health, economy, and freedoms of this country, especially our senior citizens who rely on Medicare.
It was created behind closed doors, with Republicans, who represent nearly half the country, literally locked out of the room by Democrats. Democrat staffers had the locks on the committee room doors changed to keep out Republicans. Republicans were even barred from attending the press conference unveiling Pelosi’s Halloween Horror on the Capitol Steps today " on public property.
The bill doesn’t reform healthcare. It redistributes the nation’s wealth and expands government control over working Americans.
It takes away from Medicare beneficiaries who paid into the system for decades and gives it to illegal aliens and an expanded Medicaid. It takes away from working Americans who earn their healthcare benefits through their employment, and gives it to a government-run healthcare system, under the Orwellian misnomer of a “public health option.”
This plan will:

o Cut $500 billion from Medicare
o Kill the Medicare Advantage choice for seniors
o Ration care to the elderly, and even tax wheelchairs and other medical devices
o Tax health insurance benefits deemed too good by government bureaucrats
o Raise income tax rates
o Cut physician and hospital payments in rural areas by moving more patients under Medicaid with the lowest pay schedule in America
o Create a government-run healthcare plan that will drive private insurance out of business over the next decade
o Provide free healthcare to illegal aliens
o Provide federal funds to pay for abortions
o Mandates the purchase of health insurance, with tax fines for failure to buy, and up to a year in jail for those who can’t pay the fines, which directly targets middle-income Americans.

There is no substantial difference between this bill and HR 3200 as introduced by Speaker Pelosi in July. The same bill that the American public in overwhelming numbers loudly rejected in town hall meetings across the country during August.
That explains why House Democrats have met behind closed doors, beyond the sunshine of media or Republican opposition, to attempt to roll out this monstrosity of a bill that they know is opposed by the public, and hope the public doesn’t recognize the fact that House Democrats are essentially telling the American public to take a hike.
The same public that Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, called “unpatriotic” for opposing her plan to control our healthcare from Washington and socialize 18% of our economy.
They will now attempt to pass this within a week, before opposition can organize. Conservatives in Congress cannot allow that to happen, and truly patriotic Americans who turned out en masse in August to defend their freedoms need to turn out again " right now.

Dear Friends,
This morning the House version of the health reform bill, which includes a public option, was unveiled. Because this bill was written behind closed doors and because I want everyone to see the bill, I have provided a link to view the legislation here.

Congressman Joe Carter is a moron; the piece you posted was nothing but lies and mis-representations of the bill. Not that this is anything new or unexpected.

I wonder, what exactly is it you think can be done to stop the Dems from passing this?

This post of yours is "nothing but lies and mis-representations." You appear to be operating under the illusion that your opinions are valid evidence.

If truth prevails, then the Dems will not pass this bill:
