    Below are the 39 House Democrats who voted for Pelosi's health care reform bill on Nov. 7, 2009. They should be thanked for their display of conviction, patriotism, courage, and for voting their principles while under considerable political pressure from the Marxist wing of the Democrat Party. These 39 Democrat representatives voted to respect the Constitution, respect individual and property rights, and voted against further expansion of an already out-of-control federal government...

    Joseph Cao, the lone Republican to vote in favor of the health care bill, released a statement explaining his decision. In his statement, he emphasizes the adoption of the Stupak pro-life amendment, and also notes: “Today, I obtained a commitment from President Obama that he and I will work together to address the critical health care issues of Louisiana including the FMAP crisis and community disaster loan forgiveness, as well as issues related to Charity and Methodist Hospitals. And, I call on my constituents to support me as I work with him on these issues.

    After watching the near shameless celebration of Geraldo Rivera over the passage of the most significant phase to date of your totalitarian vision for America, I want to strongly suggest that you back off of your criticism of Fox News. If, as you assert, Fox News was merely a mouthpiece of the Republican Party, Geraldo would have been assigned tonight to something else altogether. Instead, he was barely able to contain his glee. If, as your favorite broadcaster, Keith Olbermann, suggests, that everything that gets on Fox is at the personal direction of Rupert Murdoch, we would probably not have...

    There's no way to predict what the final vote on the health care bill will be, but the body language of Democrats in the chamber today suggests they are, for whatever reasons, breathing a little easier. During a series of procedural votes earlier today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), wearing a tomato-red dress and a relaxed smile, was drifting from member to member -- even sharing a laugh with Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who forced a vote on abortion over Pelosi's objections. At some point, people began unwrapping copies of bill and handing it to the speaker for her autograph. The...

You see, elections have consequences, and this is the consequence of Socialist Democrats who want to be in every aspect of your lives. Not one Democrat who voted for this abomination

    I guess we shouldn't be surprised, but a Washington D.C. based Muslim named Khadeeja Nuur has created a FaceBook Page offering prayers for the recovery of Fort Hood murderer Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan. The page seems to have been started sometime before Friday at 3PM and she features this main message in her information section: Together we pray for the recovery of Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan, MD. May Allah see fit to return this loyal son of Islam back to perfect health. Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Sallam.

    After months of Tea Parties, town hall meetings, marches on Washington, and millions of calls, letters, and faxes, the Pelosi House of Representatives still passed the most comprehensive control of American lives to date. On the C-SPAN broadcast of the live vote, several citizens who supported the bill called in to tell their stories. Some had pre-existing conditions. Some were elderly and on Medicare. Some just wanted things to be “fair.” All of them, whether they believe it or not, were simply making the statement that they were willing to trade their freedom for financial security. I, on the other...

    Anh "Joseph" Cao was born in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam. His father, an officer with the South Vietnamese Army, was imprisoned by the Communists. At the age of eight, Joseph escaped to America with two of his siblings. He learned English, thrived in school, and earned a physics degree from Baylor University before he began studying for the priesthood. Joseph first arrived in New Orleans in 1992. He left to earn a Master's degree in philosophy from New York's Fordham University, returning to Loyola University to teach philosophy and ethics. As he prepared for priesthood, his faith...

On Thursday morning, November 5th, 2009, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim originally from Virginia, but stationed at Fort Hood, woke up and proceeded sometime thereafter to give away his belongings. He called a few friends and said thanks and/or goodbyes. He got dressed, not in his military issued uniform, but in the customary Muslim garb. He carried with him two handguns.

It fell to President Obama and to Congressional leaders to persuade those Democrats still sweating the final vote that it would not prove the party’s undoing in next November’s midterm elections. Both Mr. Obama and the House leaders showcased Democrats’ newest colleague, Representative Bill Owens, who last Tuesday won a special election in an upstate New...

    Tonight, the US House of Representatives will vote on a bill, that if approved by both Houses of Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama, would mean a major takeover of 1/6 of the American economy by the government. The bill proposes a new public plan, that would compete with private insurance in what the Democrats call “national health insurance exchange.” Even though the bill itself doesn’t propose a single-payer system, many independent experts argue that this bill would “evolutionate” towards a single-payer system. I am asking you to join me on contacting our congresspeople. You still have...

    Here is video of Wisconsin GOP Rep. Paul Ryan today on the House Floor making an outstanding speech against the Democrats' government takeover of Health Care. Ryan said the Dems Health Care Bill replaces the American "idea" with a "European-style social welfare state." He said it makes Americans "dependent on the Government instead of dependent on themselves." He went on to say "This is about ideology. What side of history do you want to be on? Will you be on the side of history where you stick with the people and the principles that built this exceptional nation?" . ....

    If Sarah Palin visits Nashville on her book tour, she really ought to stop by the Hermitage. Andrew Jackson's plantation is a lot more than a beautifully restored example of Greek Revival architecture and design. It's also a monument to the seventh president's democratic legacy--of rule by the people, of competitive commercial markets, of entrepreneurial individuals lighting out to the territories. It's a legacy to which Palin is heiress. And one she ought to embrace.

    The Times also delivers their own absurd 'blame the victims' perspective: Mr. Obama has made it a goal of his presidency to repair relations with Muslims around the world; in a major speech in Cairo this year, he called for a “new beginning” with the Muslim world.

This incident spotlighted the tensions felt by Muslims in the US? Please - if investigators had discovered that Hasan had recorded a Glenn Beck segment...

    Two Illinois soldiers lost their lives from the evil, criminal actions of Muslim Nidal Hasan in Texas last week. Private Francheska Velez, 21, of West Kamerling was one of the thirteen killed by Hasan at Fort Hood Army base on Thursday. "She was the best I have. The light of my family," Juan Velez said of his only daughter. "She was living my dream -- to be part of the military, part of the United States. To be part of something. Just to give back to the United States because this is where we are from." Pvt. Valez was three...

    November 7, 2009 House Jumps One Hurdle By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN The House approved the rule governing debate of the big health care legislation by a vote of 242 to 192, suggesting but not guaranteeing that Democrats would have the votes to pass the bill itself later on Saturday. The House Debate Fifteen Democrats joined all 177 Republicans in opposition. One Democrat did not vote. As a result the Democrats seemed to have a comfortable margin, with 24 more yes votes than they need for final passage of the bill. The speaker pro tempore, Representative John D. Dingell, Democrat of...
