Reid Compares Opponents of Health Care Reform to Supporters of Slavery.
FOXNews.com
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took his GOP-blasting rhetoric to a new level Monday, comparing Republicans who oppose health care reform to lawmakers who clung to the institution of slavery more than a century ago. The Nevada Democrat, in a sweeping set of accusations on the Senate floor, also compared health care foes to those who opposed women's suffrage and the civil rights movement -- even though it was Sen. Strom Thurmond, then a Democrat, who unsuccessfully tried to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and it was Republicans who led the charge against slavery. Senate Republicans on Monday called Reid's comments "offensive" and "unbelievable." But Reid argued that Republicans are using the same stalling tactics employed in the pre-Civil War era. "Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right," Reid said Monday. "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'"
IT IS TIME TO REMOVE HARRY FROM POLITCS.

The Lies Continue
President Obama Again Violates No Abortion Funds Pledge by Backing Senate Bill.
By Steven Ertelt, Life News
President Barack Obama told the American people in a national speech in September that "my" health care plan would not include taxpayer funding of abortion. Obama broke that pledge once by lobbying members of the House to support a pro-abortion funding bill and he did it again this weekend in the Senate. Obama met with Senate Democrats in a closed door session on Sunday and told them to support the Harry Reid-sponsored bill that includes massive abortion funding and could force insurance companies to cover abortions with taxpayer's premiums. Although the media wasn't allowed into the event, senators described the speech as one in which Obama asked them for their votes for the bill and said voting for the legislation was a historic opportunity. "It would be very hard to have listened to the president's presentation and not have been persuaded of the historic importance of what's being discussed here," Senator Kent Conrad, Democrat of North Dakota, said after the address. "It was a powerful speech." Obama did not take questions during the event, but if he did, and if pro-life groups were present, they would have asked him why he is violating his pledge again that the health care reform bill he supports would not fund abortions.

THE HEAT IS ON, BUT IT AIN'T ON THE EARTH
ONCE AGAIN I SHARE A REPORT FROM FLOYD BROWN. THE MAN BEHIND THE IMPEACH OBAMA MOVEMENT. WE CAN HELP HIM IN THIS GOAL.
Just like in the Wizard of Oz, the curtain was torn back and leading proponents of anthropogenic (people caused) global warming have been caught lying.
Called Climategate, the scandal exposes the global warming shysters who are conning the public into a massive restructuring of the global economy, while attempting to silence any dissent. But don't expect to see this in our mainstream media, because they are the spinsters who promote this manipulation of data and propaganda.
With Obama preparing to head to Copenhagen for UN meetings on global warming, expect to see "green" propaganda exponentially increasing.
The scandal all began when an anonymous person accessed the computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit in England, releasing 61 megabites of confidential files, including 1079 e-mails and 72 documents onto the internet. These files are a wealth of information.
The most damning indictment of proponents of global warming hysteria is a long series of communications discussing how best to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process. The e-mails even included fantasies of violence against those who question anthropogenic global warming. These e-mails show disturbing patterns of “Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organized resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more, says Australian Sun's, Andrew Bolt.
Man-made global warming hysteria has long been fueled by people using junk science, fear and hyperbole to support an agenda that they personally profit from. As they attempt to lead the world into a green revolution, these propagandists are hiding the truth that the average global temperature has fallen since 1998.
The leading profiteering propagandist is Al Gore. After losing the presidential election in 2000, Al Gore became the leader of the hysteria movement. However, this Eco-Prophet” has hidden a few inconvenient truths of his own. He just happens to be involved with a venture capital firm that has invested approximately a billion dollars in green companies that stand to make a bundle if Obama's Cap-and-Trade bill becomes law.
Reports state that Gore's net worth now stands at $100 Million, when it was $2 million when he left politics. He’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Al Gore has a history of playing loose with the facts.
Recently on TV, while discussing Geo-thermal energy, Al Gore made the outrageous claim that the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees. However, the actual temperature here on earth is between 5,000 and 9,000 degrees. This is a gaffe that if Sarah Palin had made, the media would ridicule as her stupid.
Speaking of hypocrisy, Al Gore is a living embodiment of it. As he lectures the world on energy use, and lobbies Congress to regulate productive American companies out of business, Gore consumes more than twenty times more energy as the average American, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. This doesn’t count the energy consumption of his jet.
Gore's Inconvenient Truth is full of instances where he plays loose with the facts. A 2007 British court ruled that Gore's film has nine significant refutable errors. These are examples of Gore's scare tactics to induce the public to take radical action (to his financial benefit.)
Not only is Gore prone to hyperbole, hypocrisy and blatant distortions, he is also a bully. Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT, wrote about scientists being "in the crosshairs" of Gore, who "tried to bully" them into changing "their views and supporting his climate alarmism." Lindzen also refers to a failed Gore effort to "enlist Ted Koppel (then a TV host) in a witch hunt to discredit anti-alarmist scientists."
When one side tries to shut another side out of the debate, it is typically because they feel their arguments won’t stand up to scrutiny.
These propagandists use various tactics. A favorite is to make people feel guilty if they don’t jump on the “green” bandwagon, and those who do, feel good are praised for helping the environment. Obama is an expert at this tactic.
Open your eyes to these manipulators of data and people, who while acting like do-gooders, see great (green as in money) gain.
Warm regards,
FLOYD BROWN.

THE BUS HAS LEFT THE STATION, ARE YOU ABOARD?
This just one small example of the deceit we have happening in Washington, more important it is an example of two standards, one for us and one for them. We have a President flying all over the world, gaining nothing as a result of his trips, yet congress told our auto manufacturing CEO's, YOU FLY IN HERE IN CORPERATE JETS AND DARE ASK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BAIL YOU OUT OF YOUR BAD BUSINESS DECISIONS? Has anyone counted the number of flights our congress has taken since that time, have they shut off any lights in their homes, or in the White House? As for carbon emissions, have you noticed any reduction in the hot air comming out of D.C. lately? You and I are being asked, no, TOLD we have to cut back, use less resources, drive small bread boxes, (may as well, we won't be able to AFFORD to put bread in them anyway) that are less safe in collisions, can't haul our families on trips so we have to take two vehicles. (that really saves fuel) Of course we must remember that Obamas' science advisor co-wrote a book supporting putting chemicals in the water supply to cause sterilisation of humans,(he did not want it to have an adverse affect on animals) he also suggested the use of implants in male and female children before the age of puberty. These would be removed with government approval so you could have one child and then replaced. With just one child per family, the smaller cars will do just fine. WAKE UP OUT THERE! BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY FROM THE SOCIALIST ENEMY WE HAVE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY. VOTE THEM OUT.

Gore Should Give Back Oscar, Two Academy Members Say
Friday, December 4, 2009 1:05 PM
By: James Hirsen Article Font Size
Two members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have called on the group to take back the Oscar awarded to former Vice President Al Gore for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
Roger L. Simon and Lionel Chetwynd made the request based on the e-mails that a hacker/whistle blower released revealing that so-called scientists at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England systematically falsifying data to support the theory that the earth is heating up and that humans caused it.
"An Inconvenient Truth," a film based on a climate-change speech that Gore developed, won the Academy Award for best documentary feature in 2007. (Coincidentally, the next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household. )
That same year, the Academy elevated Gore's PowerPoint lecture, helping him to snag a Nobel Peace Prize as well.
The academy members' request that Gore return his statue is happening as preparations are under way for next week's United Nations climate change meeting in Copenhagen, where 16,500 people from 192 countries will fly in using private jets, consume 200,000 meals, and produce an estimated 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide, roughly the same as the carbon emissions of Morocco in 2006.

TERRORISTS AIN'T TERRORISTS IF YOU AIN'T TERRIFIED
I have checked this out and there is no doubt in my mind, it is true. GOD BLESS AMERICA, we still have heros. Here is the story as told by them.
One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father. On Tuesday, November the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a AirTran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before takeoff. It was on Fox.
This was NOT what happened.
I was in 1st class coming home. 11 Muslim men got on the plane in full attire. 2 sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back. As the plane taxied to the runway the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the 1st stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there.
The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, 2 younger Muslims, one in the back, isle, and one in front of him, window, began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it. Now..they are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad. If a Muslim man goes into a strip club, he has to view the woman via mirror with his back to her. (don't ask me..I don't make the rules, but I've studied) The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said "shut up infidel dog!" She went to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk the cabin. This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say "I got your back." I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said "you WILL go sit down or you Will be thrown from this plane!" As I "led" him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, "You WILL do the same!" He protested but adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go. As I escorted him forward the plane doors open and 3 TSA agents and 4 police officers entered. Me and my new Texan friend were told to cease and desist for they had this under control. I was happy to oblige actually. There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all 11 were escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage.
We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happen, when suddenly, the door open again and on walked all 11!! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic (the only way I can describe it). The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men. The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston . The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent "we and our crew will not fly this plane!" After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. 5 minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on.
Again...this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked "What the hell is going on!?!?" I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly. I said "I'm getting off this plane". The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. (now I'm mad!) I said "I am a grown man who bought this ticket, who's time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I'm going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!" And I heard a voice behind me say "so am I". Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same. Within 2 minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement. I had 5 hours to kill at this point so why the hell not. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6pm. I got here at 12:30am.
Look up the date. Flight 297 Atlanta to Houston .
If this wasn't a dry run, I don't know what one is. They wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it.
I'm telling this to you because I want you to know..
The threat is real. I saw it with my own eyes..
I have the names and addrss of the two guys from texas but, withheld them as they are being bombarded with calls, day and night. as is often the case with heros.

HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO ACCEPT THIS CLOWN
THIS IS FROM THE DESK OF FLOYD BROWN, I SUPPLIED THE HIGHLIGHTS ACTUALLY OBAM DID. HIS IGNORANCE GOES BEFORE HIM SHOUTING, "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME" I HAVE AND I FIND IT REPULSIVE AND HARD TO STOMACH.
Last night before an audience of Cadets at West Point, the Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, displayed his gross ignorance of strategic affairs and inexperience with military affairs. In a speech in which Americans were eager to hear a plan for victory, Obama instead laid the seeds of defeat without honor.
His lack of insight was on display for the world to see. He was there to announce his new strategy developed over his last three months of dithering and indecision on the future of Afghanistan.
Clearly this is the biggest decision of his term so far. He had to choose between the recommendation of his commanding General on the ground, Stanley McChrystal, or options developed by the feckless doves who control the White House. He chose the latter. In so doing, he ended hope of American success and doomed thousands of young soldiers to death far from home in a quagmire he has exacerbated.
Obama, obsessed with pleasing and looking good to liberals, is desperate for an "end game." He wants to "get in there quickly" and transfer responsibility for security to the Afghan military as rapidly as possible. Obama aims to begin winding down troop numbers as early as July 2011, regardless of military realities.
The heart of the decision is to send two brigades, one from the Marines and one from the Army, plus reserves, amounting to 30,000 soldiers. They are to be deployed to Afghanistan over the next six months, bringing the number of American troops in Afghanistan to 100,000. They are to be stationed in the south and east, where US forces are under pressure and needing reinforcements.
But the real kicker, which will doom his new strategy, was the announcement of an unrealistic timetable for withdrawal of 12 to 18 months. Announcing to Al-Qaida and the Taliban his exit strategy, he has given away all the information our enemies need to counter his moves. By telegraphing his moves to the enemy, he just commited one of the biggest strategic blunders possbile.
So his errors are compounded and will America bumble to a withdrawal before victory because the extra 30,000 troops will not be enough to counter an increasingly confident Taliban. Plus, the timetable for training the Afghan army and police is unrealistic. Finally, it is likely that the troops sent will be sitting ducks because of his wrongheaded change to the rules of engagement earlier in the year.
Overnight polling shows Americans are uneasy with his policy with only 35% supporting his Afghanistan policy. I am not surprised. He has now completed a trifecta of bad decision in Afghanistan. More reasons why he should be impeached.

Floyd Brown

OVER KILL ANOTHER WAY TO SAY GOVERNMENT
AS I START MY NEW CAREER, I AM OF MIXED FEELINGS, ON ONE HAND, I WANT ALL THE WORK I CAN GET. AS THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW I AM SITTING HOME TOO MANY DAYS. YET WHEN I AM OUT, I THINK WHAT A WASTE OF TAX PAYERS MONEY. I AM WHAT IS KNOWN AS AN OCCUPANCY INSPECTOR, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT I GO TO HOMES WHICH ARE ON A LIST GIVEN TO ME, AND I CHECK, IF SOMEONE IS, AND WHO IS LIVING THERE, IF THERE IS NO ONE LIVING THERE, I CHECK TO SEE THE HOME IS SECURE, LOCKED DOORS AND WINDOWS, HAS IT BEEN WINTERIZED, IS THERE ANY HAZARDOUS CONDITION TO BE REPAIR., I AM HIRED THOUGH VARIOUS COMPANIES WHO ARE PAID BY MORTGAGE COMPANIES OR BANKS FOR THIS SERVICE. SOMETIMES I HAVE A (CALL BACK) CARD I HAND TO THE OCCUPANT OR HANG ON THE DOOR. THIS IS TO NOTIFY THE MORTGAGEE THAT THEY NEED TO CALL THEIR BANK. THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT CAN RAISE A FLAG IN SOME BANKS COMPUTER TO START THIS PROCESS. A LATE PAYMENT, APPLICATION FOR A MODIFIED LOAN, EXCESSIVE CREDIT CHECKS, APPLICATION FOR ANOTHER LARGE LOAN, ETC. MOST TIMES WHAT EVER THE PROBLEM IT IS RESOLVED IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, YET I GET SENT BACK OVER AND OVER TO THE SAME HOUSES. NOW YOU SAY, WHAT AM I COMPLAINING ABOUT, I GET WORK FROM THE REPEAT INSPECTIONS, RIGHT? YES I DO. LETS EXAMINE THIS CLOSER. MOST OF THESE INSPECTIONS ARE A RESULT OF BANKS MAKING LOANS WITH LITTLE REGULATION OR FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS TO PEOPLE WITH QUESTIONABLE INCOME AND ABILITY TO PAY THE LOAN BACK. MAKING A LOT MORE LOANS IN THIS DEREGULATED MARKET, THE BANKS LIQUID ASSESTS GOT TOO LOW, SO THEY SOLD THE LOANS TO MORTGAGE BANKS, THEY IN TURN BUNDLED THESE MORTGAGES TOGETHER AND SOLD THEM TO WALL STREET, WHERE THEY WERE THEN SOLD TO INVESTMENT GROUPS. NOW WHEN THE ORIGINATER OF THE LOAN GETS IN TROUBLE HE IS THREE STEPS AWAY FROM THE LOAN HOLDER. THE LOAN HOLDER IS NO LONGER A BANK. THEREFORE HE CANNOT GO DOWN TO THE BANK AND GET AN EXTENTION, OR BE FORGIVEN ONE MONTH AND EXTEND THE LOAN. HE HAS NO WHERE TO GO. ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER, HE FEELS HELPLESS AND JUST THROWS IN THE TOWEL. PACKS UP AND MOVES IN WITH RELATIVES. SOMETIMES UP NORTH, IT FREEZES BEFORE ANYONE FIGURES OUT HE HAS MOVED, THE WATER PIPES BREAK, FLOODING THE HOUSE, THE HOUSE IS RUINED. SO THE REASON TO INSPECT IS VALID, BUT HAD LOANS ONLY BEEN GRANTED TO THOSE WHO COULD AFFORD TO BUY A HOUSE, MOST OF THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. NOW THE INVESTMENT GROUP OR THE MORTGAGE BANK HAS NOT ONLY LOST THE PROPERTY , THEY HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE TO DEMOLISH IT. LOSS PILED ON LOSE. ALONG COMES UNCLE SAM, BAILOUT TIME. NOW YOU AND I THROUGH OUR TAXES HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LACK OF REGULATION IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY. THE GOVERNMENT INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE RULES, JUSTS CONTINUES TO TELL THE BANKS THEY HAVE TO MAKE THESE ILL ADVISED LOANS. BUT, THEY ALSO MUST KEEP BETTER TRACK OF WHAT IS GOING ON. THAT IS HOW MY JOB CAME INTO EXISTENCE. BUT LIKE ALWAYS, THE BANKS HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THEIR CHECKING, AND THAT COMPANY HIRES SOMEONE ELSE AND THAT COMPANY HIRES ME. THEN THE BANKS NEVER FOLLOW UP ON THE INFORMATIO I PROVIDE AND THEY KEEP ON SENDING ME OR SOMEONE ELSE OUT TIME AFTER TIME. I HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO LEAVE DOOR TAGS AT HOMES WHERE THE OWNER HAS BEEN DEAD 4 YEARS AND NO ONE PICKS UP THE TAGS FOR MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE A DOOR TAG AT A HOME THAT HAS NO DOORS, IT BURNED DOWN SIX MONTHS AGO. THIS COST, AND I MUST SAY I DO NOT GET RICH DOING THIS, BUT BY THE TIME THE TWO COMPANIES BETWEEN ME AND THE BANK THAT ORDERS THE INSPECTION TAKE A CHUNK OF THE MONEY AND I BUY MY GAS FOR MY VEHICLE. THE TOTAL COST IS SUBSTANTIAL. AND YOU AND I ARE PAYING FOR THIS THROUGH OUR TAXES, BECAUSE THE BANKS ARE PAYING FOR THIS WITH BAILOUT MONEY. IF CHRIS DODD, BARNEY FRANK AND CHARLES SCHUMMER HAD BEEN DOING THEIR JOB INSTEAD OF GIFTING THEIR FRIENDS AT FANNIE MAY AND FREDDIE MACK, WE WOULD NOT BE OUT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT THE TAX PAYER HAS TO PAY BACK.
WASTE NOT, WANT NOT. NOW WE ARE GETTING GOVERNMENT IN OUR HEALTH CARE, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT IS GOING TO COST, THE WASTE MORE BOYS ARE IN CHARGE. FUNNY EVEN WITH ME CHECKING EVERY MONTH MORE AND MORE HOUSES BECOME VACANT AND NO ONE IS TAKING CARE OF THEM.
I want to thank all of you tax payers for hiring me...
