House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it
After laying the groundwork for a decisive vote this week on the Senate’s health-care bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Monday that she might attempt to pass the measure without having members vote on it.
Instead, Pelosi (D-Calif.) would rely on a procedural sleight of hand: The House would vote on a more popular package of fixes to the Senate bill; under the House rule for that vote, passage would signify that lawmakers “deem” the health-care bill to be passed.
The tactic — known as a “self-executing rule” or a “deem and pass” — has been commonly used, although never to pass legislation as momentous as the $875 billion health-care bill. It is one of three options that Pelosi said she is considering for a late-week House vote, but she added that she prefers it because it would politically protect lawmakers who are reluctant to publicly support the measure.
“It’s more insider and process-oriented than most people want to know,” the speaker said in a roundtable discussion with bloggers Monday. “But I like it,” she said, “because people don’t have to vote on the Senate bill.”
I wonder which bloggers she was bumping her gums to/with? I can pretty much bet it wasn’t Michelle Malkin, Gateway Pundit, anyone from Pajamas Media. I can pretty much guarantee they didn’t invite Texas Fred. (Why does the mental image of Fred and the Ninny, together in the same room, make me laugh so hard? Hmm… Heh!)
First thing, go read that “self executing rule“. Seriously. GO READ IT! I’ll wait.
Of COURSE Ninny likes it!
Contemporary Use. Self-executing rules are still employed on matters involving House-Senate relations. They have also been used in recent years to enact significant substantive and sometimes controversial propositions.
Now I know just how so many of our freedoms have been eroded. Yes, perhaps I have been oblivious, not noticing the use of such an under handed tactic. Hey! I’m human. The examples provided in this .pdf, are rather small, compared to how they want to use it this time around. Banning smoking on domestic flights less than 2 hours long, while prohibiting personal choice, is NOT the same thing as taking over 1/6 of the American economy!
“When we have a bill, then we will let you know about the votes. But when we bring the bill to the floor, we will have the votes,” she told reporters.
Pelosi said Monday that House Democrats have yet to decide how to approach the vote. But she added that any strategy involving a separate vote on the Senate bill “isn’t too popular,” and aides said the leadership is likely to bow to the wishes of its rank and file.
Here’s a novel concept, you old windbag! Scrap that piece of crap at least 53% of the American people oppose! Those findings include 23% who Strongly Favor the plan and 46% who Strongly Oppose it.
And……Obama flaps his gums:
“I don’t know about the politics, but I know what’s the right thing to do,” he said, nearly shouting as the crowd cheered. “And so I’m calling on Congress to pass these reforms — and I’m going to sign them into law. I want some courage. I want us to do the right thing.”
Bud the ONLY thing you know about is campaigning! You don’t know JACK about true leadership! While you may have won the election, you have lost the nation, as a whole. Oh sure, there are still some who buy into all that phony Hope-n-Change, but a vast majority have woken up from our stupor, and are now fighting for our very survival, as FREE Americans!
Asked whether he was reconsidering his position, Kucinich demurred. But Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said Kucinich is coming under intense pressure from Ohioans who want Congress to act, and from his colleagues in Washington.
“All of us — the governor, the congressional delegation, the president — are making clear to Dennis that we won’t have another chance for a decade if this doesn’t happen,” Brown said.
Do you get the impression that the Dems know they are going to lose the majority this year? If this happen, and I truly pray it does, it will take YEARS to attempt to undo the damage they have wrought on this country. Now is as good time as any to restore the U.S. Constitution to it’s rightful place….the LAW of the Land!

So, next best thing, go watch the show, in it’s entirety, with NO commercials. 
Even lib>progressive>socialist>commies might learn something. Well, I can hope, can’t I? Those words, Faith, Hope, and Charity, are not buzz words for socialism. And NO, Jesus was/is NOT a socialist!
Phone In For TN’s 7th
Just had a nice chat with a staffer at Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s Memphis office. Voiced my opinion, on the most recent shenanigans of the Democrats in D.C. However, that wasn’t my primary reason for calling them, believe it or not. Seems that when an email, inviting constituents to participate in a phone town hall, went out, they forgot to include our little corner of the 7th District. Heh. Well, luckily, they are going to rectify that problem, and Hardin County will be added to the list, with the appropriate phone number to call in tomorrow. 
Just thought if anyone around these parts got the same email, and wants to participate, you’ll be getting an updated email tomorrow morning. At least, I sure hope so! 
It’s About Liberty!
I came across a ‘letter to the editor” on the Detroit Free Press this morning that hits on some good point of the Tea Party folks, and naturally, some of the responses show the absolute ignorance of many on the left. Go, check it out, and let me know…..is this ignorance an epidemic, or is there some hope for the clueless?
On the same topic, there was this column, from Lee Harris, on Gov Monitor:
The phrase “Wal-Mart Hippies” is certainly attention-getting, as was no doubt intended. After all, who would suspect that there lurked a secret affinity between the carefree flower children of late ’60s and the hard-working folks who shop at Wal-Mart?
The two groups would seem a study in antithesis. The flower children of the ’60s put flowers in gun barrels and chanted sweet songs of peace. At Wal-Mart people buy guns to put bullets in and use them to shoot cute and cuddly animals. Hippies scorned work and lived in idleness.
The Wal-Mart shopper often works two jobs just to squeeze by. Flower children listened to acid rock. The folks at Wal-Mart adore Country and Western. Hippies celebrated free love. The people who fill the aisles of Wal-Mart marry, settle down, and raise families—often quite large ones. The hippies grooved on Zen or chanted Hare Krishna. The Wal-Mart crowd happily keeps Jesus at the wheel. Flower children opposed war. The Wal-Mart shopper sends off sons and daughters to fight them.
But Brooks is not really comparing the Tea Party movement to the hippie movement of the ’60s. Instead, he is comparing it to the New Left of the same decade. In one respect he appears to have made an honest mistake.
In his mind, the New Left and the hippie movement have strangely merged. Members of the New Left “went to Woodstock”—didn’t they? Actually, no, they didn’t. We should not confuse the carefree, frolicking hippie movement of that era with the mirthless and dour New Left of the same period. Hippies were whimsical spirits. The New Lefties were mirthless zealots. Hippies smoked pot and had fun. New Lefties read Lenin and plotted revolution. New Lefties regarded hippies as frivolous and fatuous. Hippies looked on New Lefties as the ultimate downers.
If read Brook’s column, you must ask yourself…..DOES THIS MORON EVER LEAVE NEW YORK?
Being of the dope-smoking, peace and love, generation, I can tell you, there are HUGE differences between those who actually shop at Wally World, and those who walked around barefoot, with flowers in their greasy hair, smelling like horse dung, hitch hiking all around the country, spreading the “word” of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Amazing….some of us actually GREW UP! Reality will do that to ya!
This “new left”, in my personal opinion, are the red headed step children of those who came before. While my generation talked about changing the world, for the better in some ways, with all kinds of flowery bs, this bunch wants to actually change the world by destroying anything that is good and positive within the human experience. And that will just NOT do!
Super Bowl – Yes. Bible Study – No.
When I first saw this headline in an email alert yesterday, my first thought was that it must be some town in a Muslim country. Or, perhaps some place like Cuba.
Much to my surprise, when I finally clicked on the link this morning, it wasn’t some foreign country, it was my own. Again!
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Banished! City forbids Bible studies in homes
‘This letter will serve as a 10-day written notice to quit such use’
The city of Gilbert, Ariz., has ordered a group of seven adults to stop gathering for Bible studies in a private home because such meetings are forbidden by the city’s zoning codes.
The issue was brought to a head when city officials wrote a letter to a pastor and his wife informing them they had 10 days to quit having the meetings in their private home.
What appears to be a ‘burb of Phoenix, has decided home Bible studies are a no no? A zoning code? Uh, what do they do when someone has a baby shower? Christmas parties? A church isn’t a building. It’s the people. Do you know how many churches have gotten started by a few folks, gathering in someone’s home, to learn, pray, and praise the Lord? My own church (a year before I started attending, with barely 20 or 30) was doing just that. They started out with 5 people, meeting in homes. They had graduated to a little double wide trailer, that had to be renovated to accommodate our growing numbers. We finally have a real church building, with a steeple and everything. Seats about 150? Maybe more. Seems to me, when the church started, way back when, there was one “Leader” and a few fishermen.
“The interpretation and enforcement of the town’s code is clearly unconstitutional, ” said Daniel Blomberg, a member of the litigation team for ADF. “It bans 200,000 Gilbert residents from meeting in their private homes for organized religious purposes – an activity encouraged in the Bible, practiced for thousands of years, and protected by the First Amendment.”
I’d really like to know what kind of people they have on that city council who have decided folks gathering to worship God are breaking the ‘law’.
There had been no complaints about the meetings, which had been rotating among members’ homes before the officer wrote the letter and ordered the group to “terminate all religious meetings … regardless of their size, nature or frequency,” because he noticed signs about the meetings.
The town interprets its law so that “churches within its borders cannot have any home meetings of any size, including Bible studies, three-person church leadership meetings and potluck dinners,” ADF said.
Is it just Christian churches they are banning from meeting? I wonder if any Muslims groups, of three or more, decided to meet in someone’s home, would they be banned as well?
“The assembly activities associated with the church, including Bible studies, church leadership meetings and church fellowship activities are not permitted,” wrote Mike Milillo, the city’s senior planner.
“This ban is defended based upon traffic, parking, and building safety concerns. However, nothing in its zoning code prevents weekly Cub Scouts meetings, Monday Night Football parties with numerous attendees or large business parties from being held on a regular basis in private homes,” the ADF said.
I did a little snooping on ol’ Mike. Not a whole lot, but from what I did gather, this city bunch is quite the “progressive” type, with an obsession about signs. So, I suppose it’s not really all that surprising when they get their knickers in a twist over a few people getting together.
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
I wonder when they’ll start shutting down the big churches. Considering the number of Mosques they have in the area, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was sooner, rather than later.
If traffic is the REAL concern, which is highly doubtful, then all you folks in Gilbert better start rethinking your home weddings, Cub Scout meetings, and adult sex toy parties!
The small church has been forced to halt its regular meetings. It meets now in a local school but only can afford the rental once a week.
Honestly, if I were them, I’d tell that bozo to stick it where the sun don’t shine! There is absolutely NO reason why this should have ever been an issue, ESPECIALLY in a country that was founded by the guiding principle of law found in the study of that same Bible that ol’ Mike and his buddies seems to find so offensive.
A spokeswoman for the city of Gilbert told WND city officials were aware of the concern and planned to address it.
Vice Mayor Linda Abbott told WND the code apparently was adopted years earlier, and there was considerable concern on the city council because of the current issues.
“I’m not in favor of that code. That is something we would want revisited,” she said.
A voice of reason? Maybe. Who wrote that code? When was it implemented? How did it get passed? And just who, with an ounce of integrity, would ever enforce such an offensive code? The folks in San Diego got an apology. Will these people get the same?
Glenn Beck Videos
Well shoot! It seems there have been some issues about embedding videos of Glenn’s show. To say I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to embed the entire shows anymore, is an understatement. As the owner of the site, The Daily Beck, where I have found the shows, in their entirety states:
Many of these folks have been forced to make the difficult decision to cancel their cable or satellite subscriptions. Others live in countries where Fox News Channel programming is not offered- these folks are starving for the truth. Glenn’s program gives them hope everyday that there are still people left in the world who are willing stand up to the fascist octopus and fight for freedom.
While we were in Tunica, the only way we were able to watch that Massa fiasco was through his (her?) site, since the hotel didn’t have Fox News. Yeah, what a waste of time that was, but still, if it hadn’t been for those videos, we wouldn’t have been aware what a weasel Mass really is, right? Notice I didn’t post ‘em? 
Don’t Think There Is Media Bias?
Think again!
On 27 February 2009, thousands all across the country gathered together to protest what was being seen as a violation of the U.S. Constitution, massive spending, and a major decline of our liberties. The coverage of such rallies was spotty at best, and none existent in most cases. Even CNN’s Howard Kurtz admits the lack on the part of the media to cover the TEA Parties. But when it comes the leaning far left group, Coffee Party, well now, that’s a whole ‘nuther kettle of fish, isn’t it. Wow. People who have never been involved in the political process before, who were made fun of barely a year ago, called “astroturf”, and a few names that shouldn’t be repeated in polite company, on that same cable “news” network, are now hailing people who have never been involved in the political process is now being promoted. Uh huh.
This new group calls for civility, objects to obstructionism and demands that politicians be held accountable to the people who put them in office.
Not one arrest at the TEA Parties, except for attacking leftists/SEIU/union thugs, egged on by Obama’s own words, yet the implication is that TEA Partiers have not been civil. Got it. Naturally, the SEIU lied about the incident, but did the media cover that part? Good thing people make use of the video feature of their cells phones, isn’t it. It use to be a “picture is worth a thousand words”. Now, it’s a “video will take you DOWN”.
Kind of a shame that all the videos of Obama showing his true colors, red/purple/yellow, didn’t dissuade the clueless. If they had, perhaps there wouldn’t have been a need for all the Tea Parties? Naw….we’d still see the need because McLame, while not quite as bad, would still have overseen to the expansion of the federal government.
Dissolving Association With The Oath Keepers
Yesterday, I put up on a blog post on the Oath Keepers site. As is the norm with all such sites, blog posts must be approved by the moderator. I logged into the site this morning to find my post had been deleted, no explanation forthcoming. Considering the content of my post, I suppose I really don’t need one.
Since the moderator of the Oath Keepers .ning site has forgotten that he swore to uphold ALL of the U.S. Constitution, which includes the 1st Amendment, I am reposting the entire thing here.
Deleted post:
I was quite dismayed when I received an email from a friend this morning, linking to a post on a site I am quite fond of, and link to on my site.
February 24th, 2010
In the comments, BOHICATwentyTwo left this link to a Mother Jones article about the Oathkeepers. It was written by Justine Sharrock who visited us last year when she erred in writing an article about Adam Kokesh. Sharrock quotes folks like Glen Beck and Lou Dobbs as they praise the Oathkeepers, but I think Beck and Dobbs don’t know Oathkeepers like we know Oathkeepers. In fact, in a companion photo essay of the Oathkeepers, Mother Jones calls them “The Tea Party’s Military Wing” and they tout the participation in the Tea Partys. But on the last last page of the article, she quotes founder Stuart Rhodes, former Ron Paul
Congressional staffer on the IVAW;
After an Oath Keeper who is also a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War touted IVAW repeatedly on Oath Keepers’ Web forum, Rhodes deleted the guy’s online testimonial. “The IVAW have their own totalitarian mindset,” he told me. “I don’t like communists any more than I like Nazis.”
Yeah, Rhodes didn’t delete the online testimonial voluntarily. It took four days for members of This Ain’t Hell to convince Rhodes to take the testimonial down. It began here and ended here. What hasn’t ended, however is Oathkeepers’ support of Adam Kokesh which Bev Perlson told us earlier today. So, apparently Rhodes gets his marching orders from Ron Paul…still.
When the Oathkeepers first came to my attention, right after the 2008 election, it smelled a little fishy to me. All of the American servicemembers I know don’t need a group to tell them to uphold their oath – in fact, I take offense that Stuart Rhodes thinks they will not. Supposedly Rhodes was a member of the military – does he honestly think that the mothers’ sons with whom he served needed a boy scout troop to tell them to obey the law?
Maybe some of the assclowns who Sharrock interviewed in that article need adult supervision, but they are the exception, not the rule.
The bottom line is this; the Tea Party Movement, Glen Beck, Lou Dobbs, Dick Armey and any other Conservative group needs to back away from the Oathkeepers and their secret alliance with IVAW unless they want to be tainted by that special brand of crazy that comes with being a paulian.
The Tea Party’s military wing? IVAW? Supporters of 9/11 Troofer, Ron Paul? I’ve never even heard of Adam Kokesh.
Needless to say, I am concerned. While Ron Paul is dead on when it comes to most fiscal issues, when it comes to national security, the only way I can put it, politely…..sheets without a mattress.
I find the Mother Jones rag to be offensive to a thinking, rational person’s intelligence, but I have a lot of respect for the people at This Ain’t Hell.
If this organization is, in fact, strong backers of the Paulista types, I will have no choice but to remove myself. I stood with many others on 9/12 in Nashville, and took a very important oath. The same oath our brave military men and women have taken. It was one of the proudest moments in my life, second only to being washed in the Blood of Christ in the Jordon River. I will continue to uphold that oath.
If I am mistaken in my concerns, please let me know.
Thank you.
Since obviously, they will not allow me to ask my questions, I will be leaving the group. I, however, will continue to hold dear the oath I took, to uphold and defend the WHOLE Constitution, not just the parts that suit my whims.
Excercising Our Rights

No Free Speech For Oren
Is this proof that Muslims don’t teach their children manners? That they don’t understand the concept of ‘free speech’? Or that they’ve learned their tactics from the leftists in this country? Both groups seem to have the idea they only THEY have the right to speak.
Towards the end of the video, the students (?) are shouting “Anti-Israel, anti-racism”. Does anyone else see the hypocrisy?

Control freaks want web licences to end bloggers’ anonymity – be very afraid
by Gerald Warner
The American blogosphere is going increasingly “viral” about a proposal advanced at the recent meeting of the Davos Economic Forum by Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer for Microsoft, that an equivalent of a “driver’s licence” should be introduced for access to the web. This totalitarian call has been backed by articles and blogs in Time magazine and the New York Times.
As bloggers have not been slow to point out, the system being proposed is very similar to one that the government of Red China reluctantly abandoned as too repressive. It was inevitable that, sooner or later, the usual unholy alliance of government totalitarians and big business would attempt to end the democratic free-for-all that is the blogosphere. The United Nations is showing similar interest in moving to eliminate free speech.
The RIGHT To Speak
Man Sues California Mall After Guard Arrests Him for Having Conversation About God
Imagine getting arrested for just striking up a conversation about religion in public.
That’s what happened to California resident Matthew Snatchko in 2006 when the youth pastor initiated a conversation about God with three shoppers at the Roseville Galleria mall.
The women gave Snatchko permission to broach the subject, but a nearby store employee said they “looked nervous,” so he ordered the evangelist to leave. After Snatchko refused, mall security arrested him.
The man asked permission to speak to the women, the women gave consent, and some yahoo decides they ‘looked nervous’? The women could have, at any time, ended the conversation. The fact they chose not to should be an indication they may have wanted to hear what the man had to say.
“He was put in handcuffs and hauled down to the mall’s security station and later booked at the local jail,” said Snatchko’s attorney Matthew McReynolds of the Pacific Justice Institute, a legal defense organization specializing in the defense of religious freedom.
Snatchko was later released and never charged with a crime, but he and the Justice Institute decided to challenge the constitutionality of Roseville Galleria’s restrictions on conversations about topics such as religion and politics.
Handcuffing a person who is exercising his/her 1st Amendment rights doesn’t sit well with me. A mall banning topics of conversations? Who are they to say what a person can talk about? I wonder how many kiosks were selling Obama t-shirts, plates, posters, etc.? Isn’t THAT violation of their ignorant rule? Is there are bookstore in this mall that sells Bibles? Or any books about the world’s religions? How about a Hallmark store that has cards relating to religious holidays?
“By roaming the mall and randomly approaching other mall visitors, plaintiff effectively circumvents any attempt by Westfield to reasonably regulate his expressive activities in the mall’s common areas,” the court document reads.
McReynolds confirmed Snatchko had been given the Courtesy Guidelines prior to his arrest but said the pastor “believed he was complying with them, and that they were being misinterpreted by the security guards who accused him of ’soliciting,’ even though he was not selling anything.”
I see. So, you can talk to people in the mall, but it must be in specified locations. I don’t see how that’s not a violation of his 1st Amendment rights. The guards may well have been overstepping their bounds. I’ve had the acquaintance of several such ‘guards’, who thought they were the real thing (police). They tended to overstep their bounds on numerous occasion just because it made them feel like big shots. Kind of pathetic actually.
If this man was called to go to the mall, where many young people tend to congregate, then that’s what he has to do. I find it amazing that so many kids are wondering through life with no direction, no moral compass, and when they are offered a direction, someone has to step in and call a halt.
But constitutional attorney John Eastman says that “to require a permit to even speak about your religious faith to anybody in the mall starts looking like it’s unreasonable and might well be unconstitutional.”
Eastman, a professor at California’s Chapman University School of Law, says because Snatchko was seemingly engaged in a private conversation and not a public address, his speech would not have violated mall rules were it not for its content.
When any organization, be it a mall or a government, invades on a private, consensual, conversation, you know we are in big trouble. Just when did the sharing of faith become a sensitive issue? It use to be an extremely important part of American life. It still should be.

TN 7th FYI
From Marsha Blackburn:
Starting this weekend and continuing into next week, I will host a series of listening sessions across the 7th District. These will not be traditional town hall meetings, where a Member of Congress stands at the podium and tells you what is going on in Washington. Instead, I want to hear from you.
I want to hear what ideas you have for how we can do things better in Washington. I want to hear what concerns you have about the bills that we are working on. I want to know what you think is working in Washington and what you think isn’t. More than anything, I think of these sessions as idea raisers, where we can work together to turn your good ideas into solutions in DC.
We will start with seven sessions in the western and mid-district over the coming weekend, with more sessions to be announced in Montgomery county and elsewhere soon.
I hope to see you there!

In Case You Missed It
I am not one of those people who is all gaga over Sarah Palin. I also am not in the camp of “she’s stupid”. Actually, she’s not, just has made a few not too bright moves, like campaigning for McCain, which has really chapped some hides, including mine. I think I know why she’s doing it, but it sure isn’t helping her image.
Personally, I’d very much like to see her as the head of the RNC! I’m sure Michael Steele is a nice guy, and I THOUGHT he was more conservative than he seems to be. Oh, his words say he is, it’s his actions I’m having issues with, so, yeah, I do think Sarah would do a good job in that spot.
LARGE Pile
Axelrod Not Surprised by Alito Gesture at State of the Union
A top White House adviser says it’s gotten to the point where almost any unusual reaction or outburst to a speech by President Barack Obama in the House chamber isn’t really that unusual.
Obama aide David Axelrod was talking about Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s reaction to Obama’s State of the Union address last week.
The justice made a dismissive face, shook his head repeatedly and appeared to mouth the words “not true” or possibly “simply not true” when Obama criticized the high court over a campaign finance ruling.
Axelrod says that “in this weird political season, we have become accustomed to unusual outbursts” in the House during presidential speeches.
Perhaps if we didn’t have a Clown in Chief who was constantly spewing such large piles of male bovine excrement on a regular basis, there wouldn’t be such reactions to his blatherings!
