Patriot Says: Barney Frank present during marijuana bust. Congressman Barney Frank was present during a marijuana arrest at James Ready's home in Ogunquit, Maine. Ready is well-known for his relationship with Congressman Frank.According to a police, police charged Ready with marijuana possession, cultivation and use of drug ...paraphernalia in August of 2007. Ready admitted to civil possession and paid a fine. The remaining charges were dismissed in 2008. Congressman Frank said he wouldn't recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, "not a great outdoorsman," and ,"wouldn't recognize most plants."

David Says: like the members of obama cabinet that didn't pay there taxes...barney frank also doesn't beleive laws apply to him.
David Says: U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
So knowing this...why hasn't our fearless leader called the Fort Hood shootings a terrorist attack...is he afraid to upset his brethren?
Traitor Norm Says: an LaFavePlease...because if he were to do so before the investigation were done, and it turned out to be untrue, he would look like another idiot president jumping the gun...Dubya.

Patriot Says: State Worker Beat Up by SEIU Obama thugs. A state worker is recovering after a bloody brawl at a union hall. He says members of the local SEIU 1000 beat him up and sent him to the hospital all because he wanted to expose allegedl corruption within the union. Ken Hamidi is a state worker at the California Franchise Tax... Board. Last night he walked into a union hall in Sacramento for an SEIU local 1000 meeting.
"We had every right to be here, very simple; it wasn't anything private or anything exclusive," said Hamidi.
But Hamidi says the union members did not want him there.
"Three, four people jumped at me, wrestled with me, then did all that," said Hamidi. "I was covered in blood and then over to the emergency room."

Simone the Traitor to the USA Says: AND HERE IS THE REST OF THE STORY: State worker Ken Hamidi, a long-time and very vocal opponent of SEIU Local 1000 leadership, wasedly involved in a brawl at a union hall last week. The State Worker was out of town when the alternation became known.
Hamidi and a camerawoman were onsite at a union meeting on Thursday, according to one, apparently aiming to shoot footage for public access cable show that Hamidi said would expose corruption within the local.
Local 1000 President Yvonne Walker told KCRA Channel 3 that Hamidi physically assaulted SEIU staff when they asked him to leave.
Hamidi is host of "SHOUT TV," a public access cable show that regularly criticizes Local 1000. Hamidi is also the head of the California Professional Public Employees Association, which wants to sever from SEIU.

Jason Says: I am one of the lucky ones with good health care coverage but I firmly believe that in this great country every United States Citizen has the right to affordable health care. The only way to bring down costs is to give the Health Care industry competition and some kind or tort reform. The bill in the House is far fro...m perfect but it is a start to move our country forward. I have cancer and am one of the few that cannot undergo chemo and am resigned to the fate that is preordained by God. Hang in there and keep pressing Congress to do the right thing.
Jasont Says:The government has no duty to provide everyone with health care.
Jason Says:Jason , just let the sick die...you are all heart.
Mary Lou Says:The government isn't providing everyone with health care! The Insurance Exchanges will have private insurance companies and will subsidize according to need...while only a small percentage who can't afford coverage will be in the The Government Take over of health care. You can keep your private health insurance and you can keep your current doctor.
Christine Says: Seems like the doctors could use some more heart.
Maggie Says:Ginny, peaceful wishes for your end of life.
Perhaps the reform that we need will come true
Patriot Says: Senate Leaders: Pelosicare Is 'Dead on Arrival'. The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate.
The problem is that the Senate won't run with it. The government health insuranc...e plan included in the House bill is unacceptable to a few Democratic moderates who hold the balance of power in the Senate.
If a government plan is part of the deal, "as a Johner of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut independent whose vote Democrats need to overcome GOP filibusters.

Blackwater used 'child prostitutes in Iraq'
Our government pays billions to companies like Blackwater and CACI,
both of which have commited crimes and atrocities in Iraq and
Afghanistan. By allowing this to happen and doing nothing, the American
citizen is complicit in these immoral acts:

Bill HalsteadAll contracts with Blackwater (now Xe) must be immediately terminated. Their management and all perps must be called to account and be subjected to Iraqi law. These are some crappy, crappy human scum we're talking about here. Throw them to the wolves.

Simone- exactly. corporations have no moral authority therefore their legal status as persons availing them of rights like 'free speech' when they have billions to buy the networks on which to air their 'free speech' ought to be revoked. There's a legal effort to do this, but I don't have the info handy.
Talal the Traitor says: The definition of a great leader;thoughtful, tranquil, collective and just like a great chess player, think eight moves ahead before making move and never ever under estimate his/her opponent. Great forAmerica Obama fits all those descriptions. Congratulations American and CongratulationsAmericans. You are the envy of the whole.
Todd StarkNEW WORLD ORDER.
John AdamsARE YOU KIDDING? barry is eighty moves BEHIND on Afghanistan...
Elizabeth the Traitor Says:Sour grapes.
Jasont Says:If Obama ever comes to a complete stop Talal's head will go halfway up his ass.
If any of that is true, he's already solved the Afghanistan war and is plotting the next military downsizing...
David Says: The other day I was watching our fearless leader make yet another mindless speech...as I was watching his body movements and the way he moved his head, I realised where I had seen it before...a vid clip of Hitler after the invasion of poland..the head movements the pauses...there almost idenical
Jason Says:jason you say you are a marine or were.. its really hard to respect you, but mayb if you are active, such as running for office to better our country, instead of passivly spewing garbage in our face. I can respect action. you are a bright person, i wuld imagine. marines dont fool around. Why not be active an change our country. I can respect that.
Talal the Traitor says: It sounds easy doesn't it?
David Says: wow jason. its to bad you don't walk in lock step with angie...she might like you...but cause you disagree your spewing, I guess its not aright to voice your opinion...sorry chum but welcome to the liberal America...
Talal the Traitor says: 'A vid clip of Hitler" David. "Mindless speech" You must have only been as you said watching his body movements. That's what I do when I'm watch some one I hate...I don't listen to what they say, I only watch their body movement.
Jason Says:haalfway up your ass just seems so uncouth from a military man...sorry, th old generation.
Jason Says:you all miss th point, disagree jason, but dont lower yourself.
David Says: well if you don't beleive me look it up on youtube...crowd control is obama's specialty...and so wasn't hitlers...this is what I love about blind following liberals who never had a free thought in there lives...no Johner what any one says to them they look up there answer in the handbook
David Says: and again..like most liberals you never opened a book or studied history...you just put blinders on...swear and call people who disagree with you names..
Jasont Says:Yes our military is soft and gentle. They landed at Traitor Norm Says: andy and negotiated a peaceful surrender without firing a shot. I MIGHT be a poser, you might want to check into that. Who do I think I am anyway?
Those John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies are definately fiction. No one in the military curses or uses profane language like that!
Maggie Says:I saw that video - they seemed collective, thoughtful and tranquil. . .kinda weird w/the bullhorn, the tank and marching while tapping their shields and all. The protesters had positioned themselves too close to the UN wasn't it?
Angie ~ I know from reading your posts that you are well-intended. You might just consider that your protests are coming just a little too close for these big bad boys
Jason Says:maybe so, margaret...i may be a little too conservative...
jason, I apologize. But stay away from Bill.

Todd Starkthen certainly there must be 3000 groups opposing.
Elizabeth the Traitor Says:^^^ Surely all these groups can't be wrong! Too bad the GOP can't get past their issues to do the right thing for this country.
Simone the Traitor to the USA Says: Thank you. I am ready for the next hurdle.
Elizabeth the Traitor Says:Funny how NO big inusrance companies endorse the The Government Take over of health care...
Al Croke“We have been led to believe that we must make our health care choices only within the current structure of a predatory, for-profit insurance system which makes money not providing health care."
"But instead of working toward the elimination of for-profit insurance, H.R. 3962 would put the government in the role of accelerating the privatization of health care. In H.R. 3962, the government is requiring at least 21 million Americans to buy private health insurance from the very industry that causes costs to be so high, which will result in at least $70 billion in new annual revenue, much of which is coming from taxpayers. This inevitably will lead to even more costs, more subsidies, and higher profits for insurance companies — a bailout under a blue cross."-Dennis Kucinich
Jason Says:let's check the health insurance stock...see if it is going up...if so, thats not good.
Mary Lou Says:Angie and Al, I thought I read somewhere that the Private Insurance Exchange plans would put caps on the premiums which would force existing private insurance companies to come down in order to compete. Otherwise, Kucinich has a good point. Check the HI stocks!
Jason Says:6PM today, The ED SHOW msnbc, Dennis Kucinich
Melissa Andrus Tolle Interesting Statistics. . ..See s for those of you too stupid to figure out what I am doing.
Melissa Andrus TolleProfessor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out facts of 2008 Presidential election:
Number of States won by:
Democrats: 19
Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Democrats: 580,000
Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by:
Democrats: 127 million
Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Democrats: 13.2
Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds:
"In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won by Republicans was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare.
Professor Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
Christine Says: Thanks for the post Melissa.
Gail Helms To the Senate and to the House. Make a decision on Healthcare Reform.
At this point in time, I don't care what you decide. JUST MAKE A DECISION
Your indecision is why employers are not starting to rehire the unemployed.
Your indecision is why unemployment benefits are having to be extended, COBRA subsidies are having to be extended and COBRA will probably have to be extended from 18 months to 36 months.
John WiedersteinMake the right decision: KILL THE BILL
Elizabeth the Traitor Says: Teabagger.
Christine Says: lol is calling someone a teabagger suppose to hurt their feelings?
Jason Says:John they are getting $ 1M ...to stop it.
Greedy people dont really care...
Christine Says: Wait til this bill goes through, Ms. Helms. employers will no longer be hesistant about hiring, they will know they CAN'T hire.

Simone the Traitor to the USA Says: The appropriation is for military construction and veteran spending.
Simone the Traitor to the USA Says: 6800 veterans can not get home care because Colburn has a hold on the bill. That is outrageous
Dominic J. Melfi The white house said the unemployment would stay below 8% if we passed
the stimulus bill, so now you believe what they say about health care?
Simone the Traitor to the USA Says: Yeppers
Al CrokeI believe it's much higher than 10.2% as well
Al CrokeAlso. .a need to extend unemployment benefits and leave interest rates unchanged does not indicate any kind of a recovery
Elizabeth the Traitor Says:Obama estimated last July that unemployment would top 10%.
Al Crokebut of course he did. the stimulus was passed
