SCHIP GIVES US PEAK AT SOCIALISM HILLARY WANTS
Hillary Clinton has repeatedly shown her Socialist inclination, but the following quote from her illustrates her position very clearly. Hillary Clinton:
"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Clinton said, according to the Associated Press. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you...We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
The "common good" has been used as the excuse used by despots to take away individual rights, and redistribute the wealth for many years.
The Democrats in Congress are making a move to expand the Socialization of American health system by pushing the expansion of the SCHIP law,S-CHIP bill (H.R. 976),
This politically motivated bill advances a government run health care system by arbitrarily spending $35 billion over the next five years to expand a social program originally targeted at poor children to now include children and adults in families making over $100,000 a year and people who already possess private health care insurance.
In consequence, over 2 million people will be crowded out of their existing private health insurance and ensnared in this social welfare program.
Moreover, despite pretending otherwise, this bill ensures many of these new enrollees will also be illegal immigrants, who need only show a valid driver's license to join.
Some states, most recently New York, a person need not prove citizenship to receive a driver's license.
Compounding these problems, the bill refuses to prioritize federal spending and, instead, imposes a regressive tax disproportionately impacting the poor. Even with the new tax hike, the new S-CHIP program is unsustainable beyond 2013 and, thus, is fiscally irresponsible. This insult to the taxpayers is exacerbated when one takes into account the Democrats' Budget Resolution's promise of massive personal tax increases, many of which will be earmarked to fund S-CHIP or worse in future years. (source for this is Congressman T. McCotter of the House Republican Policy Committee)

THE BEST REASON TO VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2008



Even though the media darlings Hillary and Obama seemed destined to capture the democrat nomination there still is a lot of uncertainty as to whom the Republicans will nominate to run against either one in 2008.
Personally I don't care who the Republicans nominate as long as he/she can pledge that the EITC law won't be signed into law if it is passed by Congress. No one could do as much damage to the U.S. economy as a Democrat in the White House and Congressman Charles Rangel as head of the Ways and Means Committee.
Mr. Rangel has proposed a sweeping change to the tax code which he claims will give relief to working Americans. But people who know how the economy works have said his new proposal could destroy Our economy.
The following is a quote from the National Ledger: "Finally achieving his coveted chairman's role after years of waiting, Rangel wants to make history. His staff is hard at work on an audacious plan that over the next decade would redistribute up to a trillion dollars in American income through the tax system. Even if this package gets through the House, it likely would be filibustered to death in the Senate, with a veto by President George W. Bush as the last resort. But Rangel is targeting 2009, when he envisions a Democratic president and a filibuster-proof Democratic majority in the Senate.
Unlike the Republican Ways and Means chairmen who preceded him over the previous 12 years, Rangel has a comprehensive tax strategy and a calculated plan. His wedge is the AMT, the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) is part of the federal income tax system in the United States. There are two AMTs, one for individuals and one for corporations.
The AMT for individuals is is the most atrocious taxation imposed on the American taxpayer. In its present form it will raise $1.4 trillion in revenue over the next decade, through taxation of 23 million additional families this year alone. Congress regularly prevents this catastrophe by enacting a "patch" to the tax law that limits AMT coverage to 4 million upper-bracket families."Mr. Ranger proposes to raise this by abolishing the AMT.
The Secretary of the Treasury had this to say about Rangels proposed Bill: Meeting reporters at breakfast last week, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson set as his tax priority a "patch" to slow the runaway Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). This statement flys in the face of Rangels proposed expansion of EITC, that would turn the need for a temporary tax fix into the most radical left-wing tax revision in half a century. It would include the raising of the maximum tax paid by workers from 33% to $40% to offset the income loss in the give aways of increased EITC.
In his meeting with reporters last week, Paulson claimed to be puzzled that Congress had not yet passed an AMT patch this year. Paulson views a tax increase as the worst medicine for today's economy. Paulson is alarmed that the U.S. advantage in tax policy is gone, with corporate taxes here now higher than those of foreign competitors. However, cutting corporate taxes, no matter how desirable for the sake of American prosperity, is no part of Charlie Rangel's desire to make history.
The Fear Mongers of the Democrat aspirants to the White House like Senator Durbin are trying to pull OUR attention away from the Socialization of the United States, by claiming President Bush will go to war against Iran. I believe the Israeli's, with our help, will handle that problem if it comes to that. The real problem with electing Democrats is their main thrust is the redistribution of wealth and the elimination of Christian values in the United States, while making us part of the "One World" community dominated by the UN.

DURBIN FAILS AGAIN



"Though I recognize and appreciate the tremendous contributions to our country made by generations of legal immigrants, I do not believe we should reward illegal behavior," he said.
"It is our duty to promote respect for America's immigration laws and fairness for US citizens and lawful immigrants."
Republican candidate for President, Fred Thompson, said enacting the Dream Act would put children of illegals in a more favorable position than those of legal immigrants.

PR CAMPAIGN WILL NOT CHANGE PUBLIC OPINION OF DEMOCRATS

.jpg)

According to The Hill, the hold was placed on the Rodriguez-Velez nomination just before Congress passed the new Honest Leadership and Open Government Act. That act requires that the name of any senator blocking a legislative decision be disclosed to the public within six days.
Observers say the nomination, which was approved by a voice vote of the Senate Judiciary Committee, could remain in political limbo indefinitely.
Rodriguez-Velez has waged an intensive probe of Puerto Rico’s ruling Democratic Party. It is widely believed that an ally of Democrats targeted by her three-year corruption investigation has blocked her nomination.
Most of the speculation hovers around Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., a close ally of Anibal Acevedo-Vila, the Democratic governor of Puerto Rico who is under investigation for campaign finance irregularities in his 2000 campaign.
All George Soros millions can't hide the truth from the American public. I predict this "move" by the Deamoncrat party will blow up in their face as have many other efforts over the past few years.

HILLARY HAS TO DEFEND ANOTHER FLIP-FLOP!



The thought of having the Clinton's back in the White House must make the hairs on the back of the necks of the Secret Service stand up!
Hillary is notorious for the alleged rude treatment she inflicted on her Secret Service detail. An ex-agent even wrote a book about her antics.
But before she captures the prize that she and "First Laddy wannabe"covet, she will have to explain to the voters why she has flipped on so many important issues depending upon whom the audience is that is listening to her.
The latest flap is over her position on Iran's rush to develop nuclear capability. When speaking to a Jewish group she said there are no options taken of the table when it comes to stopping Iran's development of nuclear weapons. But recently in Iowa she was questioned about this "hawkish" position, regarding her "Revolutionary Guard" vote. The person asking the question assumed she had given President Bush the "green light" to attack Iran.
Senator Clinton responded in a letter to Iowa voters this way. She says she "decided to support the resolution after Democrats removed language that according to Hillary could have given Bush the green light for military action", the New York Post reports.
“Only then did I and a lot of other Democrats vote for the resolution in order to pressure Iran by clearing the way for sanctions and pushing the President to get them to the negotiating table,” Clinton wrote in her Iowa letter.
“I was there, and I exercised leadership, and I explained my vote at the time,” she said, in an apparent reference to Obama, who missed the vote. She had been criticised previously by Obama and Edwards for her apparent support of a Bush attack on Iran.
Hillary – who is evidently now opposed to military action – said in February that "no option can be taken off the table" when dealing with Iran.
"U.S. policy must be clear and unequivocal,” she told a crowd of Israel supporters. “We cannot, we should not, we must not permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons. In dealing with this threat ... no option can be taken off the table."
Long time White House Correspondent Helen Thomas had the following to say about Senator Clinton in an article printed recently in The New York Times Union. "Clinton has blown hot and cold on Middle East issues, including Iraq and the Palestinian-Israeli dispute. She is at best pragmatic. Principles? Well, that’s another story.
Before and during her early years in the White House, she supported Palestinian statehood, but she apparently forgot this after successfully running for senator from New York as a Democrat.
The rest is history. She obviously had to cater to a new constituency, make the ritual trip to Israel and forget any sympathy she once had for the Palestinians. But is her 180-degree flip-flop on that festering issue a portent of her leadership if she attains the White House?
As for Iraq, she voted in October 2002 to authorize President Bush to do what was necessary to unseat Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Unlike former Sen. John Edwards, she has refused to say she made a mistake when she voted for the war.
She cannot claim she was misled. During the lead up to the war when she was briefed on the latest U.S. intelligence about Iraq, Bush was shouting from the housetops that he was going to attack Iraq.
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld often strutted before reporters at the Pentagon two years before the invasion and bragged about the attack the U.S. would wage against Iraq.
Clinton is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, a post that will allow her to embellish her credentials as a possible future commander-in-chief to show she would not hesitate to make tough military decisions.
As a member of that committee, she visited Iraq in 2005 and said U.S. withdrawal from Iraq would be a mistake. But she also criticized the administration for making poor decisions about the war."
Do Americans really want this "liar" to have the "seat of Power" in the United States?

REID AND HARKIN LEAD CHARGE TO SILENCE CONSERVATIVES

AN ATHEIST IN CONGRESS ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT
For 34 years we have had an atheist Congressman in the United States Congress. A man who has a record of being a secular humanist, and a man who now proudly proclaims his atheism, has taken upon himself to attack the president for his veto of the expansion of the the health act "SCHIP". Fortunately the House Democrats and RHINOS did not have enough votes to override this socialist bills veto.This disgrace of the U.S.Congress recently received an award from the president of The American Atheists of Kalifornia", Dave King. The award was a gold lame purse!
This "nut case", Congressman Fortney "pete" Stark of Fremont, Cal., has the effrontery to violate the rules of the Congress that dictate that no member will make disparaging remarks about a member of Congress or the Chief Executive.
“Hi, my name is Pete.”
“And I have been totally godless for as long as I can remember.”
This is how he responded to his introduction at the atheist convention recently. Being an atheist he belongs to the Unitarian Universalist Community. More on this group later.
Only an area like the Bay area of Northern California could repeatedly, since 1973, elect a member of the "sect or cult" that refuses to call their gathering place a church, and instead call it a "fellowship".
The Unitarian Universalists, are followers of another Humanist, Starr King. This diminutive orator founded the First Unitarian Universalist Society church that still stands today in San Francisco.
The belief system, if you can believe a mixture of agnostic, atheists and Unitarian Universalists have a "belief" system. Their group is based upon the non-belief in a Deity, but the humanist ,pluralism and diversity of mankind.
What ever you feel and believe is right, you can accept as a true belief ,is the way I interpret my research of this cult that probably has the federal tax exemption of a Church.
The following is an excerpt from the "American Thinker":2007-10-18: Stark Calls on Boehner, Republicans to Retract Opposition to Children's Health Care, Apologize to American Troops and their Families
"I have nothing but respect for our brave men and women in uniform and wish them the very best,,,,"In a heated floor speech, Stark repeatedly made the charge that the president would rather use government revenues to send U.S. soldiers to war than to pay for low-income kids' health care. A longtime war critic, Stark said the president couldn't find $35 billion to expand SCHIP but at the same time had requested an extra $200 billion to pay for military operations in Iraq. Earlier during the same session of the House he said this: "You don't have money to fund the war or children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old, enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement."
This is not the first time Stark's mouth has moved faster than his brain. He once referred to a female colleague as a "whore" and speculated that another female colleague learned everything she knows about health care from "pillow talk" with her physician husband."
This is the man who said recently to a group of supporters in the San Francisco Bay area: “It’s not courageous to make a simple statement about personal beliefs … What is courageous is to stand up in Congress and say, ‘Let’s tax the rich and give the money to poor kids.’ Now that’s courageous.”
The American Humanist Association applauded Rep. Pete Stark for publicly acknowledging he does not believe in a supreme being. The declaration, it said, makes him the highest-ranking elected official and first congressman to proclaim to be an atheist. The organization took out an ad in Tuesday's Washington Post, congratulating the California Democrat for his stance.
I think he should be censured for violating House rules, but I won't wait, while holding my breath ,until the Congress does anything about this "trash mouth" Democrat. He fits in well with the rest of his ilk!

DEMOCRATS TRYING TO FORCE WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ WITH GENOCIDE BILL

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

A CALL TO ALL CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS



On the twelfth of October 2007 Oliver North Posted an article warning US that the "insider establishment" and "one world" advocates in Congress are trying to resurrect and legitimize a United Nations treaty that President Ronald Reagan said, during his Presidency, was a threat to the sovereignty of this great country, and a violation of our Constitution.
The treaty which is on the "fast track" of the U.S. Senate is the "LOST" treaty. First shelved by the Senate in 1962, but resurrected by Senator Biden and his cohorts. This treaty ostensibly is to preserve International waters for peaceful purposes. In fact , the 202 pages of the treaty, would dictate user fees for private shipping companies using international waters to transport goods to and from the United States. It would dictate global environmental regulations that would have to be honored by all ships at sea. But worst of all, it would hinder if not stop the U.S. navy from military exercises that use weapons in their training.
Ex-President Clinton, a favorite of the Internationalists, has come out in favor of the treaty, and I am sure ALGORE will soon lend his Nobel prize winning support to this dastardly treaty.
The following is a direct quote from Col. Oliver Norths article:
"According to the U.N., the purpose of LOST is to preserve international waters for peaceful purposes. But Articles 19 and 20 of the treaty would proscribe the U.S. Navy from training with weapons, collecting intelligence or interfering with enemy communications in the territorial waters of other countries without their expressed permission. Military aircraft are prohibited specifically from taking off and landing in these waters, and severe limitations would be imposed on loading and unloading “any commodity, currency or person” including military equipment. Submarines are required to travel on the surface and “show their flag in territorial waters." Article 30 states that warships not complying with the laws of a coastal nation can be forced to leave. Disputes about these issues would be adjudicated by international lawyers."
In 2003, Navy Adm. Michael Mullen, now the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that rulings from these arbitration panels “could have an impact on operational planning and activities, and our security."
LOST also opens the door to a long-sought U.N. goal: the redistribution of wealth by taxing Americans. The International Seabed Authority, a bloated, multinational bureaucracy headquartered in Jamaica, has the mandate to distribute revenues and “other economic benefits” on the basis of “equitable sharing criteria, taking into account the interests and needs of developing states." In addition to acting as a global IRS, the ISA also decides which companies from which nations will develop mineral resources on the seabed.
The conclusion of Col. North's article sums up more succinctly. than I can, why all Conservative Americans should right or call their Senators and tell them to vote against this power grab by ONE WORLDERS!
"Before casting a vote to ratify LOST, all 100 senators should read Article 314 of this onerous treaty and Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. The U.N.-crafted document specifies that amendments to the treaty can be adopted -- and therefore enforced -- without the consent of any signatory. Yet our Constitution requires that two-thirds of our Senate concur in any treaty. Do 67 members of this Senate now want to surrender that authority to foreign governments?"

IT MAY BE FREE BUT IS IT ACCESSABLE?



"It's all about the children," she says, "We have to provide health care for the low income children." Mrs. Clinton's idea of "low income children" is a 24 year old living at home with a family income of up to $80,000.00 annually. Obviously, this is not about the children. It's about government control over your health care in the hands of politicians who won't stop until they have control over every aspect of your life. To see what she plans will produce one need only look to Great Britain to see the costly mess they have with Socialized medicine, and I have written a previous blog on the horrors of the Italian Socialized Medicine I experienced first hand.
"Our rates of infection are 'alarmingly high', according to research funded by the European Commission.
It put Britain at the top of a health league table for once, but only for shameful failure.
The danger of contracting the drug-resistant MRSA bacteria( a strain of anti-biotic resistant) in the UK was more than 15 times greater than in the safest countries in the study - Iceland, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands.
The findings led to calls for urgent NHS action against MRSA - Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus - which is thought to claim up to 5,000 lives a year in the UK.
The infection can be spread by doctors and nurses failing to wash their hands after treating patients, but it also thrives on grubby curtains, carpets and bedding.
MRSA is estimated to cost the NHS more than £1 billion a year with some 100,000 hospital patients in England - one in ten - falling victim.
Many strains are so virulent that entire wards and operating theatres have to be shut down and cleaned.
Treating MRSA can mean weeks or even months of misery for sufferers, as wounds fail to heal and recovery is prevented.
Victims are supposed to be nursed in isolation, but a lack of beds means this is not always possible."

WILL AMERICANS TRADE "GOODIES" FOR SLEEZE?
Michael Harrington is the author of fifteen well known Socialist books, most were included in the list of required reading for all liberal arts students in college in the 60's and 70's. One of his books " The Other America, Poverty in the United States" was required reading for all sociology students and the "bible" for all aspiring young Socialists. Hillary must keep it at her bedside!
Senator Clinton has brought her "bag of tricks" to a new audience. Previously, the Deamoncrats deigned their "welfare" programs for the "impoverished" residents of the inner city. Now Hillary has broadened her target audience to include the "soccer moms", and the middle class. A class that has gradually shrunk thanks to the taxation policies of the party she will represent in 2008.
What she does not want the people to remember or think about is the history of corruption she and her Co-President, husband Bill dragged this Country through for eight long years.
When President Clinton was elected he spoke these words:"I will lead the most ethical administration in the history of this country".
Anyone who witness the corruption and hanky-panky in the Oval Office, must realize that these words were just as ludicrous as President Nixon's " I am not a crook".
The Clinton's were not just crooks they were "twisted', but then Hillary says that is just the right wing conspirators talking!
The facts show it is not a conspiracy, but the truth that won't be repeated in her adoring Media.
The following are items the American people should consider before they elect these two born again "hippies" to the White House again. All are alleged or proven facts.
Hillary Clinton became the first first lady to testify before a grand jury when she was subpoenaed by the Whitewater grand jury.
Took a $100,000 bribe, camouflaged as futures trades, from Tyson Foods Inc.
Speculated in Health Care industry futures while overseeing legislative reform of same.
Failed to correct false testimony by co-defendant Ira Magaziner in Health Care trial.
Obstructed justice by ordering the shredding of Vince Foster's documents in the Rose Law Firm.
Ordered members of the Health Care Task Force to shred documents that were the target of a court probe.
Ordered the removal of documents from Vince Foster's office and told aides to lie about their removal of documents.
Obstructed justice by keeping her billing records, a document sought under subpoena, in a closet in the White House residence.
Lied to investigators about her knowledge about billing records.
Lied to investigators about her involvement in the Castle Grande land flip con.
Ordered the use of the FBI to discredit Travel Office employees.
Lied to investigators about her involvement in the firing of Travel Office Employees.
A Federal judge ordered a trial on July 25, 1994 to determine if Hillary Clinton's heath care task force illegally operated in secret.
The White House finally releases more than 2,000 documents on June 25, 1996, relating to the travel office firings, originally requested two years prior by congressional investigators.
On top of all the above the Clinton were too close to people who have been indicted, convicted or are being investigated by Federal agencies, to allow them again to have access to the seat of Power in the U.S.
Such characters as Jorge Cabrera, Wang Jun, Grigory Litchansky, Yoh Lin Trie, Webster Hubbell, Peter Paul and Roger Tamaraz were large contributors and frequent visitors to White House "Teas", and are now in jail or under indictment. They all contributed heavily to the Clinton's election Campaigns.
Will Americans choose Socialism over honesty in government? I hope not!

RUSSIA SLIDING TOWARD DICTATORSHIP?
Not since Ronald Reagan was President has Russia laid down the gauntlet as did Vladamir Putin this morning during a meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense William Gates in Moscow. To begin with he made them wait 40 minutes before he arrived!Mr. Putin, who earlier this month announced that he would renege on his promise to step down at the end of his term as President, and run as Prime Minister of Russia. Threatened the American delegation that if the United States continued it's plans to establish an anti-missile base in Poland and a radar tracking station in the Chech Republic. Russia would strongly consider pulling out of the intermediate range missile treaty signed in 1987 during the cold war by The Soviet Union and President Reagan.
Putin an ex-KGB agent Colonel, and his FSB Colonel General Sergei Ivanov were part of a four man group including Putin, that met in Putin's Dacha in rural Moscow. The other notables who were in attendance were Sergy Lavrov and Anatoly Serdyukov. Government appointees of Putin's inner circle of Power.
Of note is the fact that Mr. Ivanov is former Federal Couter Intelligence Service member (FSK). This Service replaced the KGB after the supposed demise of the Soviet Union. In 2004 it was changed to the FSB. Over 78% percent of the top 1000 political figures under Putin are estimated to be ex-FSB members. It is noteworthy to mention that Putin himself said there are no ex-KGB members that are alive.
Does the threat laid before our Secretary of State indicate the resurgence of the cold war? I believe so. I don't believe it ever ended. It just "went to Ground".
The Russian billion dollar deal to build a nuclear power plant in Iran was one of the actions taken by Putin that should have signaled the power grab in the back of Putin's mind.
With over 8% of Russia's taxes coming from Gasprom, the big gorilla of natural gas and petroleum in Europe. Putin has available to him the money needed to ramp up his military and re- institute the cold war against the U.S. with the willing accomplices of the Iranians and other American hating Arab Countries.
To fully grasp the devious nature of the suave ,urbane looking Putin you have to understand that many informed people believe that Putin has been, undercover of media silence, gradually establishing his control over Russia with an iron fist approach.
Not the least of the actions that are believed to have been caused by his direction are the recent murder of a female Journalist and an ex-KGB agent who had said or written unfavorable things about Putin and his Government.
If Putin wants to re-establish a dictatorial type of control over Russia he will need to convince the Russians that his being Prime Minister over a "figure head" President. He must assure that there will be no obvious dissent.
Even though Russia was already a hostile place for political dissent. Putin's first convenient event that helped stifle opponents, was the killing of
Journalist Anna Politkoskaya in her apartment by gun shots.

CRITICS THINK PATRIOT ACT IS BAD!
In this Country we have the Patriot Act to locate terrorists and terrorist sympathisers who aid them with money and spying. The majority of Americans realize we are in the midst of a war with Islamist extremists, and accept the Patriot Act for what it is. A line of defense against an enemy dedicated to the eradication of our way of life.Unfortunately their are many groups who would rather "be free than safe", as was expressed by the statement of ACLU representative, Cindy Whitfield.
Her organization had filed by 2003, 24 lawsuits against the Patriot Act , including one for the CAIR instituted suit against an American airline for violation of the civil rights of disruptive Muslim Imams.
The ACLU has spent millions of dollars on the advertising campaign against the Patriot Act . The effort is called "keep America Safe and Free".
These "quasi-patriotic" groups and organizations try to appear concerned for the rights of the "little guy", but are in fact trying to destroy the rule of law. Too many members and leaders of the ACLU are neo-Communists who are dedicated to the destruction of our way of life, and substituting their Utopian ideals of Marxist socialism.
The ACLU was formed in 1920 by an attorney, Roger Baldwin who had served nine months in jail for refusing to be drafted in WWI, and a feminist who founded the New York branch of the Women's Peace Party. The ACLU members at the beginning were previous members of the National Civil Liberties Bureau. Many were immigrant Marxists and Anarchists.The ACLU has defended the right of the Klu Klux Klan to hold rallies, and a famous case upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, they defended Yetta Stromberg vs. The people of the State of California. This case was brought about because Yetta had a Communist Youth Camp in California that flew the Red Communist flag and not the Stars and Stripes.
During WWI President Wilson said: "The authority to exercise censorship is absolutely necessary to the Public safety", and Teddy Roosevelt once said: "anti-war advocates are the enemies at home".
The ACLU and all the other Iraq War protesters like the "She Witch" Cindy Sheehan, should look to Russia where their speech and actions would certainly get them killed or jailed!
The "better red than dead" crowd should read the article printed in the Front Page Magazine on line, that details a forum held to discuss the death of Anna Polikovskaya, shot in her apartment in Moscow 10/7/06, and the murder in Great Britain of former Lt. Col. Alexxander Litvinenko of the Russian Secret Service(formerly KGB) 11/1/06.
The following is an excerpt from a participant, Vladimir Bukovsky. A man who as a Soviet dissident, had spent 12 years in Soviet prison camps, when asked to comment on the deaths of The Journalist Anna and the ex-RFFSS agent, had this to say.
"Consider this: in July of this year, the Russian Duma passed a law authorizing the Russian President to use secret services as "death squads" in order to eliminate "extremists" -- even on the foreign territory (Federal Law of 27 July 2006 N 153-F3).
At the same time, the Duma amended another law, expanding the definition of "extremism" to include anyone "libellously" critical of the current Russian regime (Federal Law of 27 July 2006 N 148-F3).
A stage is set for any critic of Putin's regime here, especially those campaigning against Russian genocide in Chechnya, to have an appointment with a poison-tipped umbrella. According to the statement by the RF Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov, the black list of potential targets is already composed."
And Critics of the Patriot Act think they have it bad?

ALLIANCE BETWEEN ISLAMISTS AND COMMUNISTS?



After the fall of the Soviet Empire, the Left changed tactics but not goals. In Europe the result was called the "Third Way," and it is the controlling ideology of the European Union today. The "Third Way" claims to be a compromise between capitalism and Communism, but it comes down to sucking resources from relatively free markets for the sake of centralized State power and control. EU propaganda is just recycled socialist propaganda. You can easily see it on the web.
It is no accident that the United Kingdom today is surrendering its national sovereignty to the European Union as fast as possible: The socialist ruling classes in the UK know they will merge seamlessly into the EU elites, at higher salaries, bigger perks, and much more power. The UK elites are simply planning to join the new ruling class of the emerging European Empire. It's a promotion they just can't turn down.
Down the road it's quite possible that the EU will turn Hard Left, and junk soft socialism. And it's not impossible that it will turn Hard Right, like the Nazis. It all depends on circumstances. In France, Dominique de Villepin certainly celebrates a Napoleonic Empire for the future, as he makes clear in his writings.
The most ambitious aim of the European Union, one that is not disguised, is to become part of a world government, a far more powerful United Nations perhaps, to unify control over the world. They are real enemies of Capitalism.
America has real enemies today. They are totalitarians who shout to the world that they are bound and determined to bring us Paradise on Earth -- as long as it's under their collective thumb. It doesn't really matter whether they are Islamists or Stalinist. They are not hard to figure out, since they proclaim their message from the rooftops. It is an ancient disease flaring up again.
Americans and other civilized countries have a record of winning out over tyrannical ideologies, at least over the longer term. But winning is by no means guaranteed. It's like a Twelve-Step Program -- first you have to recognize that the disease has gone too far. Then you can do something about it --- gently, factually, and in a persuasive way.
Winning against Neo-Communism is a matter of reaching hearts and minds, as it always is. Yes, you can love the sinners, just don't fool yourself about the sin. It all starts with telling the truth that is right in front of our eyes".

TAX PAYERS BEWARE OF HILLARY


At a cost of $20 billion-$25 billion a year, the plan is Clinton's largest domestic proposal other than her plan for universal health insurance.
The New York senator said it would be paid for by taxing estates worth more than $7 million per couple and would help narrow the gap between the rich and those who don't have enough savings for retirement.
At the same time, Clinton said she has given up another idea for a savings incentive—giving every baby born in the United States a $5,000 account to one day pay for college or a first home.
She made that suggestion last month before the Congressional Black Caucus, saying it was just an idea and not a policy proposal. The idea was criticized by Republicans, and she told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Tuesday that it's off the table.
The campaign of her Democratic rival John Edwards suggested it was an example of Clinton setting her positions by polls. "Apparently, new polling data seems to have pressured the Clinton campaign to throw out the baby bond with the bathwater," said Edwards spokesman."
DUPLICITY TRUMPS ETHICS IN DEATH PENALTY OPPOSITION
As Reported in JURIST, A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Tennessee's execution procedures constitute "cruel and unusual" punishment, derailing plans to execute a death row inmate next week. US District Judge Aleta Trauger [official profile] held that revised death penalty protocols [PDF text; JURIST report], devised by the Tennessee Department of Corrections in April at the request of Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen [official website], do not ensure that prisoners' are properly anesthetized before they receive a lethal injection and thus violate their constitutional Eighth Amendment rights. The Tennessee Attorney Generals office has not yet decided whether or not it will appeal the decision. This coincides with an article written by a British Neurologist for the JURIST, Dr. David Nocholl, demanding that death penalty cases that are carried out using lethal injection are cruel and unusual treatment because the chemicals used could allow the person being put to death to feel painPutting aside for a moment the fact that the person being put to death had no concern for the person he/she killed in a heinous manner felt pain.
There is a unfathomable hypocrisy in advocating the end to capital punishment based upon the pain it causes, while thousands of doctors inflict pain on unborn and partially born babies every day during abortions.
In the period from 1976 to 2000 there were just 64 executions in the State of Florida, but records show that in 2003 alone there were 854,122 abortions performed in the U.S.
Twenty-five percent of those women who had abortions gave the reason for the abortions as: "they wanted to postpone childbearing", and only 2.8% were because the mothers life or health was endangered by the pregnancy.
Over 12% of the abortions performed in the U.S. are done after 13 weeks post fertilization.
Available scientific evidence indicates that a fetus can feel pain 20 weeks after fertilization, and they certainly feel it when partial birth abortions are performed on fully formed babies. The source for this statistic is a Time Magazine article written in December 2006 by Nancy Gibbs.
Dr. Nicholls had this to say about the chemicals used in lethal injection:
"There is no clear medical reason for the use of the muscle-paralysing agent, Pancuronium, as there is the very real possibility of a prisoner who is paralysed but only partially anesthetized will experience intense pain with the cardiotoxin, Potassium Chloride. However, for death penalty proponents, clearly it would be disturbing to see a prisoner writhing in pain, so the use of Pancuronium would be a politically astute move. It is interesting to note how even the US veterinary association regard the use of Pancuronium unacceptable in the euthanasia of domestic pets. Today’s report clearly shows a number of cases where executions have been botched with prolonged deaths, skins burns and convulsions. Why do doctors involve themselves in the death penalty, when every medical association that has studied the matter, has so conclusively opposed the involvement of health care workers in the death penalty? Often there is ignorance of ethical guidelines amongst members of the medical profession"
It is equally interesting to this blogger that the doctor refers to pain inflicted on a dog and ignores the pain inflicted on millions of aborted babies!
Abortion hurts - - physically, psychologically,and spiritually. A recent column that appeared in an issue of the magazine "George". Written by Naomi Wolf, it was titled "The Dead Baby Boom." In a few words her thesis is that partial-birth abortions are so painful to contemplate that "the image pushing to the forefront of our culture is that of a tortured fetus outside the womb." Whether the victim is a newborn or an infant, these are "suffering babies". Why are people like Dr.Nicholland the Tennessee District Judge Trauger not more interested in the pain inflicted daily not occasionally in the dastardly abortion process. I think it is all about money!
