Who Changed the Change?

By Dr. Robert Owens

The Framers moved beyond a loose Confederation of States creating the greatest experiment in freedom the world has ever known.  They birthed a nation conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal unleashing the creative power and energy of humanity in a way never before known and never since equaled. They launched a government of the people, by the people and for the people .

Did the Greatest Generation Beget the Worst Generation?

This is not intended to paint the entire generation that followed the "Greatest Generation" with the same red brush. There are certainly patriotic citizens and those who cherish the liberty our founders established among the offspring of the generation who fought World War II. I am related by blood and by marriage to such patriotic children of the "Greatest Generation".

This is about the groovy hippies who never grew out of that phase. This is about the "peace" and "love" types like Bill Ayers who likely mentored Barack Obama more than he would ever admit to the voting public. This is about those who were born in the forties and went from the university to law school to Congress and soaked up all the Marxist ideology they could along the way. This is about those who went from hippy to Congressional intestinal worm and have infested the Capitol for decades. This is about the likes of George Miller (Dimocrat CA-7), who has been in the House since he was twenty-nine years old in 1974. Thank God all of California isn't the same as San Francisco (of course I thank God all of Illinois isn't the same as Chicago too). It is too bad California doesn't have more representatives like the elder and younger Duncan Hunter!

Demotivator Nails Our Current ... Err... Leadership?

I was perusing the new Demotivators catalog this evening and I saw a poster that perfectly represented the atrocity that is our current crop of political porkers. There can be no plausible denial of the obvious fact that many of what are referred to as our "leaders" (or in Barry's case, our "reader") derive inspiration from Marx and believe that Communism simply hasn't been implemented by the right group of Statists to this point. They view themselves as just the (rotten) crop to bring about the U.S.S.A.

While the Dimocrats currently hold the power and certainly represent the bulk of the problem, our "friends" on the other side of the aisle deserve some recognition for their contributions to the seizure of our liberty! Ridiculous RINOs of varying degrees have conspired with the Dims to support the further redistribution of wealth from the producer to the parasite and the punishment of the productive through catastrophic scams such as Rep. Mark Kirk's (RINO - IL 10) Cap and Trade (which he was for before he decided he needs to say he is against it for Senatorial campaigning reasons.)

Obamacare Vote Saturday?

It would appear that Shrieker of the House Pelosi, or "She Who Must Not Blink", is confident she can twist enough arms to get enough votes for her monstrous health care bill this Saturday. Will "Big Brother" Barry send Rahm to the Capitol building deliver a few threats over the next two days? How a bout a dead fish wrapped in one of his tutus?

H.R. 3962 may pass the House after a Saturday evening vote, and one must wonder if the trial lawyers get their kiss (H/T Teri O'Brien)that same evening or do they wait until after Obama is re-elected (Heaven forbid) and has begun a second term? I suppose those of us who wanted the high costs due to medical malpractice lawsuits addressed (in other words, reasonable people) can view this as a means of addressing the issue. Of course this means of address provides states with an incentive to ensure that they do not cap attorney fees or awards.

Paul Mitchell Calls on Sandy Cole to Enforce the Law

For Immediate Release

From the Paul Mitchell Campaign:

November 3, 2009

Paul Mitchell Calls on Sandy Cole to Enforce the Law

Parental Notification Law Should be Enforced

Hainesville, IL-Paul Mitchell, candidate for Illinois House Representative in District 62, calls upon his opponent Sandy Cole (R-Grayslake), to use her influence as a State Representative and call on Governor Quinn to direct the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to enforce the Parental Notification Law that was passed in 1995.

Parental notification is required to give a child an aspirin at school; if a teenager attempts to buy a gun; or tries to get ears pierced.  Certainly, abortion is just as serious a decision to make as any of those.  This law, passed in 1995, has never been implemented due to a variety of obstacles.  But now the obstacles have been cleared, the courts have upheld the law, the rules for judicial bypass written, and it only remains for the state government to put the law into effect.

Without Hope You're Hopeless

By Dr. Robert Owens

Marching out of Yorktown to surrender the British Army played the song “The World Turned Upside Down.”  As I drive to Mega Lo Mart to make my latest deposit of monopoly money in a Chinese savings account all I can do is mumble the final tag-line of the Wicked Witch of the West, “What a world? What a world?”

There’s a massive unspoken problem in America today.  Floating like the iceberg in front of the Titanic waiting to sink the unsinkable ship.   Founded b y revolutionaries crying “No taxation without representation!” the Republic these revolutionaries devised devolved into a society where 47% of the people  pay no Federal Income tax and the number of people receiving government benefits is even higher.  What incentive would these non-paying receivers have to reign in an overbearing and intrusive government?  This unseen and unspoken problem is a cancer in the body politic.

Kelly Campaign Press Release

  KELLY FILES PETITON FOR COMPTROLLER:  Makes a statement about races in NY, NJ, and VA

 

  (Springfield, IL)  At about 8:30, this morning, William J. Kelly formally filed his petition for the Feb. 2 GOP primary for comptroller against Judy Baar Topinka. 

 

  Of this race, Kelly says, "On the eve of critical races, in New Jersey, New York, and Virginia, the national debate has begun, on the direction of the Republican Party.  Will we choose Republicans who stand for something or for nothing?  Will we have reform or more corruption?

 

  Topinka has destroyed the Illinois Republican Party and paved the way for Barack Obama to become a U.S. senator and now president.  We will never build a Republican Party by nominating or electing candidates like Judy Baar Topinka," said Kelly.

One Less Enemy of the Unborn in the U.S. House?

73wire.com, which will officially launch on November 4, 2009, is reporting that Margaret Sanger Award winning, Card Check supporting ridiculous excuse for a Republican, DeDe Scazzafava is dropping out of the race to represent NY-23! I cannot help but wonder if Newt regrets getting off the sofa he shared with Nancy Pelosi in that commercial advocating for the Enviro-Statist, to support this miserable candidate?

If this bears out and the real Republican, Doug Hoffman, wins the special election will other state Republican Parties or the National Republican Party get the message? I doubt it, especially not here in Illinois, where the NRSC and John McCain are rewarding Mark Kirk's vote for Cap and Trade with their support, financial resources, and political power as they purchase his status as front-runner to win the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat held by Roland "Monument to Myself" Burris.

If nothing else, the U.S. House will be losing one disgustingly pro-abortion member in Mark Kirk and that mantle won't be picked up by another disgustingly pro-abortion "moderate"... at least not DeDe! Sorry Speaker Gingrich, better luck next time.
