Democrats Reject Democracy in US House of Representatives

First of all, let's get one thing totally clear...SCHIP is a SHAM.

It's truly a shame.  Not only are the Democrats back to their old tricks of trying to hand out government services to every illegal alien they can find.  But they're doing it:

• in a corrupt manner
• at the expense of senior citizens and other hard-working Americans
• behind the backs of their constituents

SCHIP is not about insuring children and poor people.  It's a farce - the Democrats are USING CHILDREN and POOR PEOPLE to gain support for a bill they know would otherwise be overwhelmingly opposed (Remember the Amnesty bill - HELLO?).  SCHIP is really a step towards socialized medicine, and an attempt to give free health care to illegal aliens.  Call your Senators and Congressmen - or you'll be paying for this free illegal alien healthcare before you know it.  And when you get old, you yourself will find yourself with no Medicare.  Since we can't afford to give healthcare to everybody, the Democrats have decided that illegal aliens are more deserving of free healthcare than hard-working American senior citizens who have spent their entire lives paying into a corrupt, sham system that promised them something in return.

Below is another email I received from Congressman John Shadegg.  This really is a sad day for America.

Last night I witnessed something I never thought possible on the floor of the U.S. House.  Below is the press release I issued about it.

DEMOCRACY OVERRULED
Democrats Abuse Power - Alter Vote Count

WASHINGTON , D.C. - House Democrats last night overruled a clear vote showing that the Republican Motion-to-Recommit on the Agriculture Appropriations bill had passed.  Democrats ruled, instead, that the motion failed.

With the vote total boards at each end of the House Chamber clearly showing the Republican motion prevailing by a vote of 215 to 213 and the word "FINAL" displayed beside that count, the Democrat Chairman gaveled the vote closed, announcing the Republican motion had failed on a 214 to 214 tie.

"I have been here almost 13 years and I thought I had seen it all, but tonight's display of corrupt, raw, partisan political power was stunning," said Rep. John Shadegg (AZ-03). "I honestly didn't think this could happen in America.  This is a sad day for the U.S. House and a tragic day for our nation."

Following a protracted period of chaotic protest and procedural w rangling, Democrats altered the displayed vote total two more times.  However, when Democrats refused to acknowledge their abuse of power and accept the passage of the motion, Republicans walked out en masse in protest.

"If my vote doesn't count, what point is there in voting?" Shadegg said.  "I owe it to my constituents and to this nation to demand integrity and fairness in the operations of this institution."

Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs

Here's some good common sense reading if you're bored this weekend.  John Hawkins wrote a great article about the difference between Conservatives and Liberals at Townhall.com.

This article by David Francis at the University of Arizona sheds light on the World Can't Wait movement and their Communist roots.

If you missed the illegal immigration BlogBurst this week, it's because Jake and the Freedom Folks were in Washington DC.  They were participating in Hold Their Feet to the Fire, a grassroots American lobbying effort against amnesty for illegal immigrants.  In order to expose the illegal alien amnesty being promoted by George Bush (aka the Kennedy-McCain Amnesty Bill that will give up to 20 million illegal aliens a 'pathway to citizenship'), 35 national radio hosts descended on our nation’s capital this past week, to Hold Their Feet to the Fire!  Be sure to check back for next week's BlogBurst - I know it will be enlightening as always!

Time to Abandon the U.N.

I've been watching the speeches at the U.N. on Fox news, and all I can say is what a circus?  The fact that these crazy Communist and Islamic fascist bastards are allowed in our country to spew their anti-American propaganda B.S. says a great deal about our free society and U.S. tolerance.  But enough is enough.  Why are we paying a billion dollars a year to such an anti-American organization?  The U.N. is nothing but a bunch of third world, uncivilized nations that hate America because we are a great and powerful nation.  They're simply jealous so they don't like us.  Although America goes out of its way and spends billions of dollars a year to help these third world countries, they would rather blame us for their problems than to work with the U.S. to make the world a better, safer place for all.

Even our so called allies - what a joke.  Russia cannot be trusted and they are still basically a communist state, whether or not they admit it.  France is being France and we can never trust them.  They are just as corrupt as many of the third world dictatorships - the Oil for Food scandal proved that.  They will go behind America's back to work against our interests while smiling and pretending to be our friend to our face.  Germany is not much better.  With friends like these, who needs enemies?

It's time for the U.S. to stop trying to appease the world...they cannot be appeased.  They hate us and no matter how much we try to help them, they will still hate us.  Besides the fact that the United Nations is impotent and lacks accountability, it's also as corrupt as many of its third world, uncivilized, barbaric nations that are members.  The U.N. is against the interests of the U.S. and it's time for America to put our time, efforts and money into NATO or some other credible world organization that can actually accomplish its purpose, without the corruption.  The U.N. is worthless, and a waste of time.

By George, I Don't Think He Gets It

I've had this domain for a while now and have been toying with the idea of setting up a political blog.  I have several business blogs, unfortunately I can't vent my political feelings on those blogs (bad for business since roughly half the country is going to disagree with just about anything I say!).  But I keep up on current events quite a bit (okay, I admit I'm a Fox News junkie), and I have a lot of opinions that my family is probably sick of hearing.  So finally today, thanks to George Bush's stupid idea to trust the UAE with some of our port security, I started www.BlogForFreedom.com to let the world know exactly what I think (although the world really doesn't care - I'm aware!).

As a disabled veteran, a Republican and a President Bush supporter, I cannot believe that ANY of our nation's port security would be left to the UAE.  I realize there is a great deal more to this issue than meets the eye - information that citizens such as myself do not have.  However, if there is even a .01% chance that this could jeopardize national security (and there is at least a .01% chance), why would we take such an unnecessary risk? 

As a child, I lived in Saudi Arabia and I have many Arab friends.  As a result, I understand their culture and I do not trust the UAE.  I know that extremist Arabs who hate America are an accepted part of most Arab cultures.  They are not seen as criminals, in fact, many see them as heroes and their ties to the "government elites" are usually strong.  While many Arab governments are "officially" allies of the US and the war on terror, their people truly do not like America or our way of life.  For this reason, it would be way too easy for an extremist group to find an "in" to this UAE company.  What if our UAE 'friends' just happen to turn a blind eye to a shipment of weapons, nuclear, chemical or other hazardous items that could be used to launch an attack on our homeland?  Currently, the majority of containers that come through our ports go unchecked and we need to tighten port security.  Instead, we seem to be putting the fox in charge of the hen house.  Has our government become completely blind to the obvious?

President Bush and the Republican Party claim that securing our nation is a top priority after 9/11.  Iraq is part of this plan and I support the war in Iraq.  However, what good does it do to spend billions of dollars fighting terrorism in Iraq when our borders are completely unprotected?  If Mexican immigrants can illegally enter our country any time they like, what's stopping Al Quaeda?  Nothing.  And now we're going to leave our ports in the hands of a country that was home to two of the 9/11 hijackers?  If we continue with such an ignorant, liberal attitude towards national security, President Bush is right about one thing...it's just a matter of time before we get hit again.

I have lost a great deal of respect for President Bush due to his failure to secure the Mexican border.  I live in Arizona and I believed border security would finally be taken seriously after 9/11.  But it was all political BS.  And now with this port security issue, I don't know what he's thinking anymore.  For the first time in my life, I actually agree with the Democratic leadership.  If the Republicans want to continue being seen as the party that will protect America, they need to get back to basics and realize that putting a country that doesn't like us in charge of our port security is the wrong thing to do.  It's like the UN putting Libya on the committee that oversees human rights.  It makes ZERO sense.  If Republicans cannot use their majority in Washington to stop this UAE deal, then perhaps they don't deserve to be in control anymore.  I think this could be one of THE ISSUES that alot of people who are on the fence will remember.  They could very well use their vote in future elections to punish candidates that support this UAE company.

I don't know about you, but I remember just a few short years ago that President Bush "...looked into Vladimir Putin's eyes..." and saw a soul he could trust.  Wrong George.  Old habits die hard and much like the UAE, Putin is only our friend to our face.  Behind our back, however, he has gone out of his way to be un-helpful to the U.S.... joining France's efforts against us before the Iraq war, even going as far as to befriend Hammas and help Iran get nukes.  Even a so-called Western ally like France actually hates America.  Saudi Arabia is our supposed ally too, yet they are the world's largest exporter of terror.  They teach radical islam in their schools and some members of their royal family were found to have financial links to terror.  But they're "officially" our friends ... right.  Hey, why don't we put the Saudis in charge of our airport security?  Can you say 9/11?  Is President Bush truly so naive as to think that the UAE can be trusted to protect our national security interests?

Bush said that we have to be right 100% of the time and the terrorists only have to get lucky once.  He was absolutely correct.  This could be that "once".  Just like he was wrong to trust Putin, Bush is wrong again regarding the UAE.  And this time, I honestly fear I will live to see the day that our country realizes what a huge mistake we made by allowing our port security to be handled by a foreign country that doesn't like us.

Why doesn't Bush get it?  Even Hillary Clinton and most Democrats get that this is a dumb idea.  Of course, Jimmy Carter agrees with Bush and thinks this deal will be okay ... that should be a MAJOR clue that we need to stop the deal immediately!

Who'd a thought it would be a stupid Republican that pissed me off bad enough to finally start this blog!  Thank you President Bush for motivating me...I'm proud to finally have my blog up.  Unfortunately, I've never been so ashamed to be a Bush supporter as I am today.
