Fire Pelosi!
It’s unanimous: Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel remains chair of Ways and Means Committee
House Democrats voted unanimously today to keep Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel as chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee in the next Congress.
Rangel, 78, is currently under investigation by the House ethics committee for failing to pay about $10,000 in income taxes on a Dominican Republican vacation villa he owns and rents out.
Once the issue surfaced, Rangel said he was only guilty of a simple error, paid the back taxes and himself called for an investigation.
The long-time Congressman hired accounting firm Watkins, Meegan, Drury and Co. to examine his tax returns and House financial disclosure filings and report the findings directly to House ethics officials.
Rangel has also been accused of unfairly amassing four rent-stabilized apartments in the city and using official congressional stationery to fundraise for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at City College - issues the ethics panel is also probing.
The Ways and Means Committee oversees the nation’s tax policies.
Rangel has said he generally approves of President-elect Barack Obama’s tax platform, which includes a middle-class tax cut.
The chairman also favors abolition of the alternative minimum tax.
House GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio has demanded that House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) strip Rangel of his chairmanship until the end of the investigation, saying he had flouted the very tax laws he helped write.
But Pelosi said Rangel wasn’t going anywhere - an assertion confirmed by yesterday’s unanimous vote by House Democrats.
What we’ve got here is the most UNETHICAL Congress EVER! Led by the most UNETHICAL Speaker of the House….EVER!

Demonizing Billy The Bomber
Now that the elections are over, the MSM is now feeling it necessary to actually act like real journalist and look into the past of Obama. ABC news has an interview with Obama’s buddy, Bill ‘The Bomber’ Ayers.
Poor Billy says he was demonized by republicans. Bwaahaaaahaaaa. Cry me a river Billy.
Ayers became a bogeyman for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin, who demanded to know more about Obama’s relationship with his Chicago neighbor. Palin accused Obama of “palling around … with a terrorist.”
Breaking his silence, Ayers told “Good Morning America” today that the GOP attack was a “dishonest narrative…to demonize me.”
“What you call the violent past, that was a time [the Vietnam War] when thousands of people were being murdered every month by our own government… We were on the right side,” he told Chris Cuomo on “GMA.”
The co-founder of the Weather Underground was, as McCain has claimed, unrepentant about the the bombings his group committed during the 1960s.
“The content of the Vietnam protest is that there were despicable acts going on, but the despicable were being done by our goverment… I never hurt anyone,” Ayers said.
“Frankly, I dont think we did enough, just as today I dont’ think we’ve done enough to stop these wars,” he said.
Ayers, 63, currently a distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, became a political piñata for McCain, R-Ariz., and Palin during the presidential campaign.
Never hurt anyone???? I do recall one of his own minions died in a botched bombing job and the intent to kill others was definitely there.
As far as being demonized, I think Billy’s own actions did a pretty good job of that.
I also love the “DISTINGUISHED professor” bit too. DIstinguished my a**. This guy should be behind bars….
There was a video but I couldn’t bring myself to add it….

OMG !! UN’s Durban II Draft Released — Its Anti-Freedom, Anti-Israel, Anti-US
UN Racist “Anti-Racism” Campaign Now in Black & White
by Anne Bayefsky
The shocking text of the “Draft Outcome Document” to be adopted at the UN’s so-called anti-racism conference, Durban II, has just been released. It features:
- accusations that Israel is guilty of apartheid, crimes against humanity and genocide
- allegations that Palestinians are victims of Israeli racism
- the accusation that Zionism is racism by referring to a “racially based law of return”
- claims of a right of return that would end the Jewishness of the state of Israel
- an effort to end Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem
- an attempt to strangle free speech by demands that states “encourage objective and balanced portrayals of people, events and history, especially in the media”
- a demand that states adopt laws to invade public and private life for the purposes of “preventing and punishing expressly and specifically contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in public and private life”
- an insistence that the world media be governed by “a code of ethical conduct with a view to prohibiting the proliferation of ideas of superiority and the justification of racial or religious hatred”

NOBAMA
John McCain wants you to consider whether Barack Obama’s association with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers makes him fit to be president. Actually, that’s not quite right: McCain and Republican Party leaders would prefer we didn’t waste time considering this question. They want you to simply reject Obama out of hand for his past ties. If that doesn’t work, they hope to raise doubts about Obama’s character in the past (why would he associate with someone like that?) and in the present (why hasn’t Obama been straight with us about Ayers now?).
If anyone has been paying attention, Bubba Hussein hasn’t be straight with anyone about anything!
At the moment, this strategy appears to be working only with Republicans. Obama’s poll numbers continue to improve. Voters want to hear about solutions to the current economic crisis, and this line of attack has nothing to do with that. The press is covering the Ayers association not as a question of character but as a symbol of McCain’s increasing desperation.
Well, if it’s only working with Republicans, that tells me that only Republicans, and conservatives, are using the brains God gave them. Obviously, those who are such die hards for Obama have serious issues. I can only think they actually DO hate this country, and DO want to see it destroyed.
But there’s another reason this strategy isn’t working: Voters are cynical. Obama doesn’t want them to be, implores them not to be at almost every campaign stop, yet in this episode he benefits from their cynicism. If Obama weathers the Ayers controversy, it will be in part because voters judge his association with Ayers, and his weak answers about that association, to be nothing more than a politician’s garden-variety duplicity.
Well, of course he doesn’t want voters to be cynical. With his message of “Hope”, “Change”, “Change We Can Believe In”, “We Are The Change We’ve Been Waiting For”, all of which says absolutely nothing, but sure sounds pretty, voters are being given a Tootsie Pop, with the chewy middle removed, and a poison pill in it’s place.
It’s more than just Obama’s association with Ayers that should have people concerned. It’s Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, ACORN, Rezko, and the list goes on and on. His lack of judgment isn’t just a one time thing. It’s apparent to me there’s a serious character flaw when you keep associating with the scum on the bottom of the pond.

The “opinion” part of the site has some interesting questions too. I won’t say the site is 100% accurate, but I do know that some definitely is right on the money.

Justice
Ohio inmate’s too-fat-to-execute argument fails
The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected arguments that a death row inmate is too fat to die by lethal injection.
Justices on Thursday gave the go-ahead to execute Richard Cooey.
The 41-year-old is scheduled to be executed Tuesday for killing two University of Akron students in 1986.
He would be the first person to be put to death in the state since the end of a de facto moratorium on lethal injection.
Cooey’s attorneys had argued that prison food and limited opportunities to exercise contributed to a weight problem that would make it difficult for the execution team to find a viable vein for lethal injection.
Cooey is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 267 pounds.
Logical resolution? One bullet…right between the eyes.

Europe, AND The Rest Of The World Can KISS…..
……MY RED,WHITE AND BLUE AMERICAN ASS!
America Loses Its Dominant Economic Role
George W. Bush has grown old, erratic and rosy in the eight years of his presidency. Little remains of his combativeness or his enthusiasm for physical fitness. On this sunny Tuesday morning in New York, even his hair seemed messy and unkempt, his blue suit a little baggy around the shoulders, as Bush stepped onto the stage, for the eighth time, at the United Nations General Assembly.
If I, or ANYONE, had to live with 8 years of constant bashing, we’d all be worn out. Has he made mistakes? Yes. Has he deserved the BDS, not just here, but around the world? No.
He talked about terrorism and terrorist regimes, and about governments that allegedly support terror. He failed to notice that the delegates sitting in front of and below him were shaking their heads, smiling and whispering, or if he did notice, he was no longer capable of reacting. The US president gave a speech similar to the ones he gave in 2004 and 2007, mentioning the word “terror” 32 times in 22 minutes. At the 63rd General Assembly of the United Nations, George W. Bush was the only one still talking about terror and not about the topic that currently has the rest of the world’s attention.
Well now, I don’t see anyone else trying to stop the Islamification, do you? Lord knows, Britain hasn’t. They’ve gone so far as to basically start requiring their citizens to bow to Mecca five times a day. Sharia courts? Silencing truth? NO, European countries have pretty much given up all pretenses of being democracies.
The American president has always had enemies in these hallways and offices at the UN building on First Avenue in Manhattan. The Iranians and Syrians despise the eternal American-Israeli coalition, while many others are tired of Bush’s Americans telling the world about the blessings of deregulated markets and establishing rules “that only apply to others,” says the diplomat from Berlin.
But the ridicule was a new thing. It marked the end of respect.
In my lifetime, I’ve seen an erosion of respect of America, and Americans, from the Useless Numnuts…ALL of their members, for years. Jealousy is an ugly thing. It’s not surprising, at least to me, that those whose asses we’ve saved many times, should behave in such a disgusting manner….ON OUR SOIL! I’d like nothing more than to send them packing. I’m sure Babylon would welcome them.
They might find it odd that the POTUS spoke of the terror threat instead of the financial crisis. Honestly, I don’t. Trying to get a suppose body of world leaders to accept that the threat is far from over? He might as well have been beating his head against a brick wall. What difference would it make to the financial world if some Islamonazis decided to bomb them into submission? We don’t have to be rich. We DO need to be FREE!
This is no longer the muscular and arrogant United States the world knows, the superpower that sets the rules for everyone else and that considers its way of thinking and doing business to be the only road to success.
Evidently, this pissant is confusing pride with arrogance. What has HIS country given the world? Hmmm??
HEY! ASSHOLE!
Then….

Petition
DEMAND an end to any and all deficit spending
We the undersigned DEMAND that members of the US House of Representatives, the US Senate and the US President immediately pledge to commit to the following;
- STOP Any and all deficit spending that is unrelated national defense until the US budget is balanced.
- START investigating the roll that corporate executives, lobbyists and politicians played in the current economic downfall to include the use of subpoena power, and criminal prosecution where necessary.
- CONTINUE to follow these steps until anyone directly connected with the current economic downfall is no longer in a position to do so again; especially those who directly benefited from quid pro quo activity, including political advocacy, legislative action, or “sweetheart deals” such as low interest loans and campaign donations.
It is time to get back to basics. We the people could not operate our personal budgets the way that corporations or the federal government have without ending up out of work and in jail. We the people are not above the law and those in positions of power should not be either.
