The Person of the Year
TEA PARTY ACTIVIST!
The Person of the Year was the Tea Party Activist. No one had a greater, obvious, and unexpected impact on the world than the perhaps-millions of people who suddenly rediscovered citizen activism and accountability from elected officials. Not only did they turn out for barely-organized protests around the country in April and July, they showed up at rallies at ad-hoc events, and they flooded town-hall meetings. Their advent frightened the powerful so much that some refused to show their faces in public in a season when fund-raising and handshaking are as traditional as pennant races in baseball.
What did they accomplish? No one can argue that they deflected at least one and possibly two massive government reorganizations of American industry. Without the Tea Party rallies and especially the town-hall turnouts, Congress almost certainly would have passed ObamaCare in July or September at the latest — and with a public option firmly embedded. The House passed cap-and-trade in a rush in the first week of July, but by year’s end, Democrats demanded that Obama shelve the effort. Four Democrats have already announced their retirement in the House, and another switched parties to join the minority, a nearly unprecedented step.
Tea Party activists trumped a President and two of the people on the list above. They reminded Americans that a participatory democracy means that ordinary people have to actually participate — and that when they do, they can actually change the political direction of the nation. Whether or not one agrees with the political stance of the Tea Party activists, no one can doubt that this lesson is long overdue for both the citizenry and the political class that so often only represents them in name only.
And we've only just begun!

Obama Surrenders U.S. Sovereignty: His INTERPOL Executive Order
Obama’s order removes protections placed upon INTERPOL by President Reagan in 1983. Obama’s order gives the group the authority to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests — which means this foreign law enforcement organization can operate free of an important safeguard against governmental abuse. “Property and assets,” including the organization’s records, cannot be searched or seized. Their physical locations and records are now immune from U.S. legal or investigative authorities.
If the president of the United States has an aboveboard reason for making a foreign law enforcement agency exempt from American laws on American soil, it wasn’t shared by the White House.
Andy McCarthy, former assistant United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, notes at National Review that the limitations that Obama removed are “what prevents law-enforcement and its controlling government authority from becoming tyrannical.”
A paragraph later, McCarthy describes Obama’s actions in the starkest of terms:
This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States.
If President Obama and his radical allies in the Democratic leadership have their way, American soldiers could presumably be brought up on charges as war criminals by enemy nations and marked for arrest and deportation by an international police force on American soil. They would face charges in a foreign land without the constitutional protections they fought and bled to protect. The White House seems to be on the bewildering path of giving al-Qaeda terrorists who murder innocent women and children more legal protection than the very soldiers that risk their lives trying to bring terrorists to justice. The asinine court-martial charges being brought against three Navy SEALs based upon the word of a terrorist they captured suddenly make a sickening kind of sense.

About that Attempted Terrorist Attack..
Obama is much too busy playing golf in Hawaii to respond....
and the woman Obama put in charge of Homeland security, who once suggested our troops and conservatives were a danger to our country, now insults our intelligence by declaring the system worked even though a muslim terrorist tried to blow up a plane on Christmas...
Jonah Goldberg and others are calling for Napolitano to be fired
The head of the Department of Homeland Security isn't helping. I watched her on three shows and each time she was more annoying, maddening and absurd than the pevious appearance. It is her basic position that the "system worked" because the bureaucrats responded properly after the attack. That the attack was "foiled" by a bad detonator and some civilian passengers is proof, she claims, that her agency is doing everything right. That is just about the dumbest thing she could say, on the merits and politically.
Here she is her own words, over at RealClearPolitics.

Catholic Hospitals Loves Themselves Some Abortion
Everyone has their price
In an apparent split with Roman Catholic bishops over the abortion-financing provisions of the proposed health care overhaul, the nation’s Catholic hospitals have signaled that they back the Senate’s compromise on the issue, raising hopes of breaking an impasse in Congress and stirring controversy within the church.
The Devil is in the details .

The Gift that Keeps on Taking
The Real Price of the Senate Health Bill
Taxes start going up now, Medicare cuts begin after next fall's election, and spending for subsidies commences in five years. The price tag is not the first decade's announced $871 billion cost: It is $2.4 trillion. That's the cost of the tax credits in insurance exchanges, and the additional Medicaid costs the reform generates, over the first 10 years it's fully up and running, according to Congressional Budget Office numbers compiled by Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee.
Mr. Reid greased a Christmas Eve Senate passage of his bill, but he did so in a way that taints the product. It will hinder the Obama administration's efforts to fashion a House-Senate conference bill, as well as that 40-year majority Democrats once thought was within their grasp.
Arrogance, Corruption , Stupidity
and a Big Dose of TYRANNY
Tom Coburn explains his vote against Obamacare
"This vote is indeed historic. This Congress will be remembered for its arrogance, corruption and stupidity. In the year of 2009, a Congress ignored the coming economic storm and impending bankruptcy of our entitlement programs and embarked on an ideological crusade to bring our nation as close to single-payer, government-run health care as possible. If this bill becomes law, future generations will rue this day and I will do everything in my power to work toward its repeal. This bill will ration care, cut Medicare, increase premiums, fund abortion and bury our children in debt.
This process was not compromise. This process was corruption. This bill passed because votes were bought and sold using the issue of abortion as a bargaining chip. The abortion provision alone makes this bill the most arrogant piece of legislation I have seen in Congress. Only the most condescending politician can believe it is appropriate to force Americans to pay for other people's abortions and to coerce medical professional to take the lives of unborn children."

Senate's Christmas Gift to the American People is Tyranny
If Webb and or Warner vote NO on the bill, they do not get off the hook. They both voted to bring this bag of crud to the floor. They will be defeated when they run for reelection and they will be hearing from us in January
Lieberman voted Aye..Shame. On. You.
Webb and Warner both voted Aye for a bill they didn't read and know their constituents didn't want
The US Senate just passed the most corrupt bill in US history that will effect the life of every American for the worse. Innocent people will die... and no, that comment is not overly dramatic. Remember HMO's? Well, Obamacare are HMO's on STEROIDS! Good Luck Suing the Federal Government when your loved one dies from denial of service.
To add insult to injury they then voted to raise the federal debt to 12.4 TRILLION!!
America, the US Senate just spat on you.
Harry Reid refused to take questions after the vote.. Chuck the schmuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and Chris Dodd surrounded Dingey Harry as he took credit for paying corrupt Senators for their votes
Sarah Palin
Tomorrow’s Health care Takeover vote Will cause the sleeping giant to awaken and take action. “Average” Americans will take action as light shines on big government growth and corruption.
The Culture of Corruption
“When it comes to the public outrage that will emerge based on the deals that took place to secure passage of the Senate health-care bill, the degree of tone-deafness among Democrats is nothing short of startling. . . . These people strike me as hermetically sealed off from how most of the rest of the country view this subject. As these backroom deals become more and more widely known, anger will swell up among voters. It is bad enough to jam through a bill on a strict party-line-vote against overwhelming opposition from the public; for it to have happened only because various Members of Congress were (legally) bribed will magnify the intensity of the opposition. And for politicians to take such obvious pride in the pay-off will make things even worse. The populist, anti-Washington wave out there, which is already quite large, will only grow, and grow, and grow.”

Ben Nelson is a Weasel among Weasels for More Reasons than You Know
WEASELS, Every last one of them
The Senate voted to table Jim DeMint’s proposed amendment that would prevent Harry Reid from Bribing Senators for voting for cloture
Ben Nelson voted against Jim DeMint’s amendment, but when he realized the Democrats already had the votes to kill it, he raced back up to the clerk and changed his vote so the final record shows Nelson sided with DeMint.
Our great country deserves better
The men and women who were elected to represent "We the People" have proven that they don't care about our country or the people they were elected to represent. They only care about what's in it for them. They are not awed by the office they hold. They are not humbled by the responsibilities of that office. They don't love our country like she deserves to be loved.
At this point it no longer matters if they pass Obamacare. Our representatives have shown us the contempt and lack of respect they have for those they were elected to represent .
We'll just have to remind them over and over who they work for. And let's not stop reminding them until they understand that they're there to serve the interest of the People, not their political party or the Narcissist in the White House.
Have we lost our Country? I pray to God that we haven't, but I just don't know. This democrat party lead by Obama has proven themselves to be ruthless thugs and the Republicans in power are still fighting like gentlemen. This Christmas say a special prayer and light a candle for our country.
