Justice Department to force criminals to register illegal guns
By Examiner Columnist Scott Ott
In an effort to reduce gun violence nationwide, Attorney General Eric Holder said today that the Obama administration will reinstate the Clinton-era assault weapons ban that expired in 2004, adding new provisions to make it even more effective at saving lives.
Under the revised rules, people who intend to commit crimes with stolen guns, for example, will first need to register those weapons with the federal government.

A fine idea. When I am gunned down by an assault rifle, I want to die knowing that the weapon is going to serve a long, long prison term without possiblity of parole.

The so-called “criminals” should go free, since everyone knows it’s guns that commit crimes. It would be helpful, though, if those ensnared in the nefarious influence of guns would advise the Justice Department of any pending crimes before the guns actually commit them.

You too could know all this stuff ,Newsman, if you spent as much time and effort researching it as Darth and OLA do. Actually they already know it ,they have to do the research to show you the link to find it.
That seems to be a big problem for the “newsproviders” of today. They don’t know how to research to find the truth ,and they just don’t care to. Just like you, they are happy in their ignorance.

I have never laughed so hard. I just read Scott Ott’s whole columnat DCExaminer .com,plus the comments .Most of the commenters thought it was a serious news story. Only a few realized it was Satire.My conclusion is there is a higher level of intelligence and sophistication here at Scrappleface, than on most other sites. Mr Ott maybe you should put a big smiley face at the beginning of the column.

Perhaps the new occupant of the Oval Office is jealous of Zimbabwe and is working to surpass them so that America can boast of the world’s highest
inflation rate.
It’s time NOW (today) to begin stocking up on your meds. Don’t stop taking what your Doctor prescribes to save for a later date. Explain to your Dr. that unlike Canada, we won’t have an America to run to. And you want prescriptions in volume to prepare for the catastrophic inflation that is coming, thanks to the new occupant of the Oval Office. Personally I’m mostly stockpiling food. Canned goods by the case or half-case.
When the electricity goes, food in the Fridge and freezer won’t last long. So stock up on meat (like home made beef jerky) can fresh hamburger and sausage.
The unprepared will end up on the street selling apples (what isn’t sold will be your families supper that night).

Zimbabwe inflation at record level
Zimbabwe is battling with the world’s highest
inflation rate at over 100,000 per cent [EPA]
Zimbabwe’s currency has tumbled to a record low of 25 million Zimbabwe dollars to one single US dollar, while Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s president, continues his campaign for re-election.
One hundred dollars bought nearly 20kg of local currency on Wednesday as Zimbabwe wrestled with the world’s highest inflation rate at over 100,000 per cent.
Analysts say that inflation is likely to get worse as Zimbabwe’s central bank pumps cash into the economy to fund upcoming elections.
There have been reports that the central bank is buying US dollars on the unofficial market to pay for power, petrol and vehicle imports ahead of the election.
Zimbabwe’s black market exchange rate for the US dollar broke the one million Zimbabwe dollar mark for the first time in late October.
Unfortunately only a few older Americans know what poverty is - we’re about to die out, but the younger will learn that as screwed up as Roosevelt was the new occupant of the Oval Office is much, much worse. He’s like Franklin Delano Roosevelt to he 10th (tenth) power! - OR WORSE!!
Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s president is pretty well out - due to the inflation rate, the abject poverty - little kids and babies dying of malnutrition. Perhaps the abject poverty is what it will take to wake America up!
It took a Jimmy Carter to get us a Ronald Reagan. Perhaps Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, or Jim Inhofe is our next Reaganesque President?
btw 20kg of Zimbabwe’s currency = 44 lbs.

I don’t agree with Holder on much but, this may be for our own good.
I think when his boss, “Hussein” causes all of our jobs to “go away”, along with our homes, money, and families, he doesn’t want us to take the “cowardly” way out and shoot ourselves. People, they are only thinking of us!
Next thing O-BOOB-A will do for us is to seal all windows that open in buildings that have more than 3 floors!

Fred, where do the unemployed procure the apples they are to sell on the street? And where do they get the money to buy them? What’s the markup on those things anyway? And, since they’re going to have them for supper anyway why not skip the whole “selling” thing and just go right to eating them.
Just curious, you’ve brought up the point more than once, I’m just trying to get to the details. Seems I’m gonna need to know this stuff.
Maybe I could get my wife to stand on the corner with me and folks could watch us shoot apples off each other’s heads from 20 paces. They’d pay us for that and, if we use a 22 then the apples will still be good for supper. Then we’ll have the cash to buy more apples the next day. I dunno, this is sounding more and more doable. Would I need to register the apples or just the guns? Wait, what I’m planning isn’t a crime so I may not need to register either…
How come Britain can get criminals to go along with the plan. They have plenty of knife crime, in fact that’s rising but, there is precious little gun violence…which proves that “only criminals will have guns” is a complete lie…at least there.
And the farcical reference the other day that someone (prolly Fred or RAM) made regarding how Americans are free because we own guns (the inference being that our leaders could not effectively use our own army against us as a result) is just pure fantasy…but a nice one.

Heck, the one I got from India was a years worth for less than the co-pay for my “insurance” (another farce, it’s badly named…it’s really pre-paid “healthcare” and, if the “insurance” company thinks they might lose the bet they just back out of the deal…that seems right/fair eh?)

Just who does this guy think he is? There’s no way that the American people will stand for tax cuts, affordable healthcare and education. Not if it means that they’d pay less taxes. We have to stand firm in our defense of those making $250,000 and up per year. They need our help. Who’s with me on this…c’mon people, the rich might have to dine out less often if we allow this sort of thing. Think of the number of busboys that could be laid off as a result…
Obama said his budget blueprint delivered on the changes he promised in his election campaign: tax cuts for 95 percent of working Americans, a rollback in tax breaks for people making over $250,000, lower healthcare costs, education reform and an expansion in the use of clean, renewable energy.
The insurance industry would not like having to bid competitively to participate in the Medicare coverage program for the elderly, but it is needed to protect the program and reduce costs, Obama said.
He said banks and big student lenders would not like losing their taxpayer subsidies, but it would save nearly $50 billion and make college more affordable.
And he said oil and gas companies wouldn’t like losing $30 billion in tax breaks, but it was needed to fund renewable energy research.
“The system we have now might work for the powerful and well-connected interests that have run Washington for far too long, but I don’t. I work for the American people,” Obama said.

Below-cost loans with lenient repayment conditions
Income tax breaks, especially featuring obscure provisions in tax laws designed to receive little congressional oversight when they expire
Sales tax breaks - taxes on petroleum products are lower than average sales tax rates for other goods
Giving money to international financial institutions (the U.S. has given tens of billions of dollars to the World Bank and U.S. Export-Import Bank to encourage oil production internationally, according to Friends of the Earth)
The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Construction and protection of the nation’s highway system
Allowing the industry to pollute - what would oil cost if the industry had to pay to protect its shipments, and clean up its spills? If the environmental impact of burning petroleum were considered a cost? Or if it were held responsible for the particulate matter in people’s lungs, in liability similar to that being asserted in the tobacco industry?
Relaxing the amount of royalties to be paid

The funding provided in George Bush’s Medicare D plan for Medicare Advantage plans is an example of corporate welfare which does not benefit patient care. Under the program, insurance companies are provided more money than it costs to care for patients under the government’s Medicare program, despite the insurance companies cherry picking healthier patients.

But what if both the criminal and the gun are illegal? Which gets registered first? Or how about an illegal alien, who is a sex offender and who plans on using an illegal weapon in the commission of a crime? All this registration could take months.
Off-topic
I’d really like to see a poll of only Obama supporters who are following his economic example by spending more than they have to achieve prosperity. How many are applying for extra credit cards, taking second mortgages on their homes, equity lines of credit on their cars and so on?
C’mon people, put other folks’ money where your mouth is. Don’t you trust Obama enough to show you the right way to get you through these troubled times? O ye of little faith.
wv: $700,000 Joachin - I don’t know what a Joachin is, but I am sure of two things: $700,000 is way too much to pay for one, and there’s probably a dozen of them in Obama’s new “earmark-free” spending bill.

Buyer’s Remorse Among Wall Street Obama Supporters

Noteworthy up here on Wall Street, a great many Obama supporters — especially hedge-fund types who voted for “change” — are becoming disillusioned with the performances of Obama and Treasury man Geithner.
There is a growing sense of buyer’s remorse.
Well then, do conservatives dare say: We told you so?
24 Darthmeister // Feb 28, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Liberals think if some taxes are good then more taxes must be better.
BTW, the Constitution itself directly authorizes Congress to fund whatever war this country finds itself in or to fund whatever programs are necessary for the security of this country and its borders. Even the Bible, in Romans 13, reaffirms the civilized mandate that one has a moral duty to pay taxes so that governing authorities “may bear the sword against evildoers.”
By contrast the Constitution does not authorize Congress to fund a national healthcare system, to fund abortions, to fund a welfare plantation, to buy up private banks, to “bailout” free markets, or to force other taxpayers to pay for the mortgages of irresponsible deadbeats through taxes.
Interesting how Laughing Gasbag and other trollish twits haven’t a clue about constitutional authority and mandates, which is typical of such brain-dead liberals who usually see the Constitution as a barrier to their establishment of their utopian velvet gulag. And thank God that such is generally the case.

LC-RM#23 You are going to have to learn the new, new math.
Inside the Beltway, it works like this 1+1=19
So if a picture is made from the Goodyear blimp showing maybe a couple of hundred thousand - simply (it helps to be a liberal) apply the new, new math.
one hundred thousand plus one hundred thousand equals nineteen hundred thousand or better stated one million, nine hundred thousand and that’s close enough to “round up to two million.
Keep in mind 3 of life’s truisms. (1) Never approach a bull from the front. (2) Never approach a horse from the rear and (3) Never approach a fool from any direction.
Don’t forget these three and you’ll do O.K. None of our ScrappleFace trolls are bulls and none of them are horses.

BTW gasbag, now that you brought it up (pre-emptive fingerpointing, I assume?) the real brownshirts have been liberal fascists like you who desire to empower government to levy ever higher levels of confiscatory taxes in order to fund humanist utopianism, to impose politically-correct speech codes throughout the public educational system and to strip free Americans the right to arm and defend themselves against the depredation of criminals and overly ambitious government thugs.
For the last forty years liberal Democrats have consistently enlisted the aid of big government to establish some of the most overbearing, intrusive, self-righteous examples of Big Brother browbeaters than even the most extreme right-winger of the John Birch society. Not only do liberals want you to live the way they think everybody ought to live but they also want carte blanche rights to keep their hands in your pocketbook. And in some cases there are retarded RINOs who think the same way. If that isn’t fascism, then I don’t know what is.

Short excerpt (Just in from Letty)
“…a feature of mental disorder”.
narcissism |?närs??siz?m|
noun
excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one’s physical appearance.
• Psychology extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one’s own talents and a craving for admiration, as characterizing a personality type.
See note at egotism .
• Psychoanalysis self-centeredness arising from failure to distinguish the self from external objects, either in very young babies or as a feature of mental disorder.
Samuel Vaknin, Ph.D. Dr. Vaknin has written extensively about narcissism. Dr. Vaknin states “I must confess I was impressed by Sen.Barack Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident - a wholesome presidential package. I was put off soon, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words.
Obama’s speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history. Never a politician in this land had such quasi “religious” impact on so many people. The fact that Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishments, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects. Barack Obama is a narcissist.

boberin: And he said oil and gas companies wouldn’t like losing $30 billion in tax breaks, but it was needed to fund renewable energy research.
Just last summer, boberin, you were whining about the cost of a gallon of gasoline. You still don’t understand how the worldwide oil markets work, do you?
Now we have the capability of drilling and refining our own oil in order to make us less dependent on the Middle East or any other nation that threatens our security by overt action or by cutting off/ exhorbitantly skewing the market price. We have huge natural gas reserves and oil shale to provide our nation for a long time.
Government takes more in gasoline taxes than the oil companies make in profit. You have no idea of the amount of time, research, and labor are involved in locating and extracting oil. Government produces nothing, yet it wants a huge slice of the “profit”.
We have abundant coal to fire our electrical grids. The alternatives of wind and solar are much more costly to produce kwh. And you’re saying that the government (That’s you and me, the taxpayers, pal) is supposed to subsidize these Man-from -La Mancha pipe dreams. Wait until you see your heating, cooling, and lighting utilities go through the roof under Comrade Ackbar. Be aware, also, that the “perpetually poor” will have their utitilies paid for with our tax dollars through subsidies from Daddy Warbucks Ogabe.
Until we have an alternative sustainable form of energy to replace oil, count on gasoline (and thus, food) prices to rise. You cannot run your car or heat your house with energy research or hope.
Corn-based ethanol is inefficient, threatens the world’s food supply, and potentially erodes the land.
I have a Green-freak friend who says that research in using kelp as a biofuel is an up-and -coming field. Great!??! How plentiful is that supply? And how much would that boondoggle upset the ecosystem? (What is it about Lefties? Their altruistic utopias always have unintended consequences.)

Wish I were a liberal so I could believe that deep down in every recidivistic, violent criminal there’s a law abiding citizen just crying to get out.
From Andrew Bolt:
GOOD thing for Barack Obama that he isn’t George Bush. He’d have been slaughtered for starting so badly that he’s picking a Cabinet of tax cheats. . . .
how loudly would the people who cheer Obama have screamed if Bush had, for instance, surrounded himself with this extraordinarily long list of spivs and chiselers?
There’s Tom Daschle, the former Senate majority leader whom Obama picked as Health secretary, but was forced to quit for having failed to pay more than $150,000 in taxes - and for pulling a mysterious $1.5 million a year as an influence-peddler to a law firm.
Nancy Killefer, Obama’s choice as the government’s chief performance officer, also had to quit, having failed to pay unemployment taxes for her household help.
Timothy Geithner, on the other hand, still got appointed Treasury secretary despite having also failed to pay taxes - more than $60,000 in his case. Hilda Solis likewise survived, becoming Labor secretary even though her husband owed $10,000 in taxes.
And now there’s Greg Craig.
Hmm. What is it about Big Government Democrats that they so hate paying the taxes they impose on others? And we haven’t finished with that list, either.
Obama’s first choice as Commerce Secretary, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, had to quit to fight grand jury charges of selling favors. . . .And now helping Obama run the economy are two powerful Democratic Congressmen he’s inherited from his party - Charlie Rangel, chairman of the tax-writing House ways and means Committee, who failed to pay taxes on $75,000 in rental income from his luxury Caribbean villa, and Chris Dodd, who as chair of the Senate banking committee received $200,000 in donations from the now collapsed Fannie Mae, plus sweetheart loans from Countrywide Financial, another business he was supposed to be regulating.
Not being able even to pick a clean team would be embarrassing enough - proof that the neophyte in the White House has run nothing in his life but an election campaign - but worse is that Obama actually promised to transform Washington with “the most sweeping ethics reform in history.
Of course running up a potential $1.7 Trillion dollar national debt in the first three weeks in office is probably not the kind of “change” most rational Americans expected even after two years of a socialist Democratic Congress.

“Look who is calling the kettle black.”
So you admit liberals are the bigger hypocrites for painting themselves as such freedom loving, do-as-you-please populists when in fact they will use the force of law and government to impose their own peculiar political agenda on the rest of Americans? At least you’re willing to recognize that liberals are actually fascists, too.
But remember, Newsman, unlike true conservatives (which you liberals love to paint as “fascists”) in the final analysis both Mussolini, Hitler and their respective governments were national socialist collectivists who were interested in creating the “New Germany” and the “New Italy” … just like you liberals want to create the “New America. Nothing conservative or “right-wing” about those kinds of political ideology.
BTW, how do you like the “change” ObaMarx and your precious Democratic Congress has brought to America so far? And isn’t it interesting that ObaMarx’s withdrawal of American troops follows the same guidelines and schedule originally set by President Bush yet the brain-dead lemmings on your side of the aisle seem more than willing to overlook the 50,000 American troops that will be left in Iraq well into the foreseeable future? Another broken promise by your messiah.

Obama’s Bush Vindication
At least Mr. Obama has divested himself of this part of the left-wing Democrats’ moonbattery even though he had to swallow his pride about his stupid and ignorant opinion that the “surge” wouldn’t work in Iraq. And his present position on leaving 50,000 American troops certainly betrays his campaign promise of a “total withdrawal from Iraq
6 months … 12 months… 18 months after I take office.”It’s interesting how supposedly fair and “open-minded” liberals will cut Obama any amount of slack necessary to justify their support for their fearless leader, something they most definitely did not do for President Bush. And now these partisan hacks have the laughable temerity to actually whine about wanting “national unity”? Where were liberal Democrats the last seven years when America needed some “national unity”?
So excuse my cynicism when I propose liberals want us conservatives to support their hare-brained political and financial agenda so that if things really do go south in a hurry they can blame us, too.
No thanks, liberal Democrats own whatever bad happens under the Obama Administration and I predicted you’ll be too gutless to quit pointing your fingers at former President Bush and start looking at yourselves and your messiah in the mirror. But if liberal Democrats do transform America into a veritable utopia of prosperity and freedom, I’ll be the first to congratulate them … but in the meantime I strongly suggest you Obamabots keep your damn hands out of my backpocket.

I just heard on the radio that Paul Harvey died yesterday at the age of 90. I had to bow my head in sorrow for a moment because I grew up listening to his voice, his opinions and clear precise thoughts.
Often history moves on with no chance of another voice to replace one lost. So it is with Mr Harvey. And often Rush Limbaugh is heralded as the conservative voice of the radio, but as great as Rush is, he followed the path constructed by Paul Harvey.
I am saddened only for a moment that he passed away from us, but quickly rejoice for him as he has left this deceitfully corrupt world to the uncorrectable world beyond.
I now think, as being one who has lived and saw all that has happened since WWII, both the wonders of science and the horrible mistakes of mankind’s foolishness, that I too am not far from leaving this world.
As a Christian I rejoice my life is at least 75 percent complete but, and there is always a but, I feel a deep regret that our children and our children’s children will never know freedom unless something drastic happens in Washington. They will grow up to be slaves to the trillions we have tossed to the greedy, corrupt and liars of this day.
Mr Harvey, I applaud your courage and numerous insights. I think as President Reagan will be remembered for eons by political fans, you too will be remembered by journalists as myself and millions of listeners who roamed the dial every day at noon to hear your pleasant voice.
Congratulations for escaping this earth and may God have mercy on those left behind.

Another one of your strawman arguments, eh Newsman? So typical of you leftists, misrepresent what limited government conservatives are all about by claiming we want to create a “Religious/State” (sic) blah, blah, blah. Pure bunk.
NO, what we want is a return to the traditional understanding of a limited federal government that defined our constitutional republic as originally authored by the founding architects of this country. That would be true liberalism, a liberalism which, ironically enough, continues to be embraced by traditional conservatives and libertarians today. I’ve already opined about this to great degree yet you continue with your reprehensible misrepresentations about traditional conservatism.
A look at the laws and institutional regulations that have been passed during our lifetimes (like “hate crimes” legislation/speech codes, restrictive gun laws, bussing, higher taxes, new taxes, sub-prime loans being lent to high-risk borrowers, etc.) reveals it’s you liberal fascists who are trying to force your lifestyles and liberal humanist/socialist ideology on the rest of us. So what laws are conservatives responsible for passing which would force people to observe a particular religion, or to go to church/synagogue/mosque on Saturday/Sunday or that would force Americans to become Christians? Like I said, you engage in a strawhorse argument.
Quit throwing up smoke and mirrors and start dealing with reality, Newsman. The prevalent ideology in Washington D.C. since FDR’s New Deal has been liberal humanist socialism -whether it’s being pushed by liberal Democrats, RINOs or both. The Reagan years was probably the only thing resembling a respite from this liberal onslight (even Nixon proved to be a big government RINO with his price controls) and even those years were fraught with a Democrat-controlled Congress still ratcheting up Big Brother government.
52 Fred Sinclair // Mar 1, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Darthmeister #41 “- but worse is that Obama actually promised to transform Washington with “the most sweeping ethics reform in history.”
Actually, B.O. (aka - the usurper) has done a fantastic job in keeping his word. You will note in the quote that he did not specify in what direction ethics would be reformed.
It’s nothing short of amazing, how the ever increasing downward spiral of ethics continue to prove that the man is devoid of any personal ethics, so how can he reform what he doesn’t possess?
He is ‘reforming’ his concept of ethics the only way he knows and even that he was taught by his mentors Ayers, Wright & Soros.
That being; the puritan ethic is being replaced by the hedonist ethic. The ethical theory that pleasure (in the sense of the satisfaction of desires) is the highest good and proper aim of human life. Especially if you can use the power of government to force others [taxpayers] to pay for your ’satisfaction of desires’.
Yes ‘The One’ is making good on his word alright, graft, fraud, corruption, lies and morally bankrupt ethos.
In light of the present financial crisis, it’s interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
“Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Notice when conservatives dare debate with liberals or brain-dead trolls that somehow you’re “forcing your religion on them” or “forcing everyone to believe your far-right views” or blah, blah, blah ad nauseam.
Yet when liberals disagree with us they are simply being “enlightened”, “playing the Devil’s advocate”, “furthering the debate” or any kind of convenient phrase to cast themselves in a positive light. I find it particularly hypocritical for closet liberals like Newsman, Laughing Gasbag, and neverthink to recklessly demonize conservatives in the manner they themselves have condemned conservatives for allegedly doing … that is, demonizing other people! In reality liberals practice the very thing they’ve previously preached against!
Unlike conservatives who don’t operate under such magnanimous pretenses of believing every opinion is of equal weight, that’s why liberals end up being the most hypocritical liars on the planet earth since they view themselves as long-suffering pariahs who are fundamentally compassionate open-minded progressive people of compassion and understanding who will respect other peoples opinions even if they are found to be in disagreement … that is until someone like a conservative actually points out the error in their thinking. Then it is YOU trying to force your thinking on them! What a bunch of intellectual cowards. I’ve noticed when liberals can longer sustain their argument beyond the level of a bumpersticker slogan, they start throwing out the race card or the sexist card or the bigot card or the you’re-trying-to-force-your-view-on-me card, thus hoping to end the debate with them having shut down the debate and having “the last word” - thus making them the “victor” by default! What hubris!
Having a sustained and rational debate with liberals has and will prove to be an impossibility with the present liberal intellectual thugs playing so many joker cards in hopes of bluffing their way into having their bankrupt political ideology as the dominant social paradigm. Until that changes, we Americans can never have a real debate about race, the constitutional defense posture of this nation, national healthcare (I’m all for universal healthcare in a free market environment, I just don’t believe in nationalized, federalized or socialized medicine), or traditional marriage because liberals will invariably label conservatives as racists/homophobes/sexist/bigots who are wanting to establish a “Religious/State”. Nevermind that the liberal Democrats’ political ideology (now that it has ensconsced their messiah in the White House) is virtually indistinguishable from a religion itself.
54 Darthmeister // Mar 1, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Fred Sinclair, I stand corrected. You’re absolutely right. When ObaMarx said he would bring “sweeping ethics reform” to Washington he didn’t say whether that reform would be good or bad … dittos for the economy.
We’ve certainly had economic “change” since the Democrats took over Congress two years ago and now control the White House, haven’t we? So in that respect I guess ObaMarx has made good on his promise of “change” despite not having clarified that the “change” would be either good or bad.
Pretty clever rhetoric on the part of messiah, eh?

I read it elsewhere, but the theory makes sense to me:
Rahm Emanuel and John Podesta are the #s i and 2 men in the country. They shape the policy for Obama, who only thinks that he is president. Obama needs that Blackberry in order to know what his positions are.
Axelrod is the Goebels, the Minister of Truth, who updates the Obama-faithful via Huff Po, Media Mutters, thinkprogress, etc. Watch the lockstep astroturfing with the same diversionary talking points in order to change or challenge the message of conservatives when their exposure of the administration’s agenda is on target.
Emanuel is on speed dial to Podesta, Carville, and Stephanopoulis in order to control the message and to shoot the messangers of the opposition. Free speech and free thought are under attack with this administration. Pelosi and Reid are just the goon wise guys that pretend that we have a representative republic.

I have to laugh at boberin’s naivete in #15 regarding beating the system on prescription medicines by purchasing from other countries.. Those generic forms were probably formulated originally through American research and development. They have undergone rigorous testing to meet FDA standards..All of these issues cost time and money.
When the patents run out, rogue pharmaceutical firms formulate their own, cheaper versions. They have invested no man-hours or investment in the development of the drugs.
When these imports come from China, boberin, look out for melamine, lead, or other toxic elements to be included in your meds. At least our own nation’s pharmas have more quality control over the product.
Besides, why would you take the route you have chosen? Wal-mart offers affordable generics. (Then again, who knows where those drugs originate.) My own grocery store has a pharmacy that offers over 400 commonly prescribed medications at a fraction of the cost, especially is the drug is a maintenance one.

From the AP
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday will pledge about $300 million in U.S. humanitarian aid for the war-torn Gaza Strip, plus about $600 million in assistance to the Palestinian Authority, a U.S. official said Sunday.
State Department spokesman Robert A. Wood told reporters traveling with Clinton Sunday that she would announce the donations at an international pledging conference at this Red Sea resort. The conference is seeking money for Gaza and the Palestinian economy.
Article Controls
Obama administration officials had indicated last week that the U.S. was preparing to pledge $900 million in assistance for Gaza, but Wood’s description of the plan Sunday indicated that the only portion going directly to rebuilding Gaza was $300 million.
Wood said that while all of the money is subject to approval by Congress, the intent is to provide about $200 million to help the Palestinian Authority shore up a budget shortfall and another $400 million to assist Palestinian institutional reforms and economic development. Wood said some of the $400 million might wind up aiding Gaza, but he said that would depend on the Palestinian Authority.

Barak Meets with Special Envoy Mitchell; Death to Israel
Israeli lowering of restrictions on PA (Palestinian Authority) areas throughout Yehuda and Shomron, a move that is being met with sharp objections by Jewish community leaders in those areas, a move they insist will place area residents in increased danger with the lowering of the IDF presence and the opening of additional roads to PA motorists.
They must accept the decision to comply with US pressure and reduce restrictions on PA residents.
Hillary Clinton told the media “we want to strengthen the Palestinian partner,”
She has invited Hamas to join in
Armed with an over $10 million pledge, she will also be attending the donors conference in Egypt, intended to raise funds to rebuild Gaza.

Prov. 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
Prov. 17:6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

Ezek. 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
As more and more of the Israelites turn their back on God for their idols of worship, they would do well to remember that it is their land and they should reclaim each and every square inch.
If that requires a “Scorched Earth” policy - so be it. It’s their land and what God has decreed, let not man set aside.
From my post #60 - “They must accept the decision to comply with US pressure and reduce restrictions on PA residents.”
They should tell US pressure to take a hike. A long hike on a very short pier. It’s their property and they should be willing to fight to the last drop of blood to regain and keep what is theirs.

New York City Area Braces for Up to 14 Inches of Snow (Update 1)
By Brian K. Sullivan and Sharon L. Lynch
March 1 (Bloomberg) — The largest snowstorm of the season is on its way to New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area, with as much as a record-setting 14 inches expected to fall tonight and into tomorrow’s rush hour, meteorologists say.
“It’s a good, old-fashioned snowstorm,” said Gary Conte, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Upton, New York. “The record for March is 10 inches (25 centimeters), set in 1896. Obviously, based on our forecast, that is in jeopardy. March is coming in like a lion.” The 1896 record was for daily snowfall.
Snow will be accompanied by high winds that will cause drifting and bring unseasonably cold weather, Conte said. Temperatures will range between 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 degrees Celsius) to just about the freezing mark, which is 10 degrees to 15 degrees below normal.
Bernie Madoff was a piker with a Ponzi scheme of only about 50 billion dollars. algore might be in prison today, except that the cult members of his cult of “The Church of Manmade Global Warming” are rabid believers and more dangerous than mad, rabid dogs.

I have seen reports that range from “watered down” drugs, some have just a fraction of the active ingredient to, (as said by you before), dangerous ingredients, or expired medicine!
The MAIN reason is as was said before also, the patent has run out, and the real expense of prescription drugs is the research and development costs.
Here in America if you are given a “bad drug” you can sue the manufacterer, good luck suing other Countries, that are in fact the supplier of the drugs to you!
It is hard to take anyone seriously about ANY TOPIC, when they freely admit they will risk their very life with cheap medicine, when there is so much information out there about how dangerous this is.

From the good folks at Powerlineblog:
Voters Skeptical of Dems’ Leftward Lurch
Inside the Beltway and the media bubble, Barack Obama is still the man of the hour. On CNN, his speeches are even compared to sex. (Someone needs to have a talk with that commentator. I don’t think he’s doing it right.) The Democrats obviously believe that they are in a unique historical moment, of which they can take advantage by moving the country decisively to the left.
There is strong evidence, however, that the American people are not excited about the Dems’ leftward lurch. Last week, President Obama gave his first State of the Union address to an adoring Congress and unveiled his administration’s first budget. What happened? His approval rating declined.
Scott Rasmussen has been tracking Obama’s “approval index,” which is the difference between those who “strongly approve” of his performance and those who “strongly disapprove.” Today the approval index declined to + 8, the lowest level in Obama’s brief tenure in office.
Overall, 58 percent approve of Obama’s performance so far, while 40 percent disapprove. As we’ve said before, that’s not bad, but it’s nothing special for a newly-elected President. Jimmy Carter was more popular at this stage of his administration.
What’s happening here is that, while media types swoon over Obama’s way with a teleprompter, voters are focusing on something else-the consequences of higher taxes, unprecedented federal spending and control over the economy, and crushing levels of debt. The more they focus on those things, the less they like them.
Most voters will give the Democrats the benefit of the doubt for now. But as the ill effects of the Dems’ policies confirm voters’ skepticism, the stage may be set for a decisive revulsion against the Democrats far-left program.

Thank goodness, there’s always a smart Conservative around to explain this, and so many other things to us ignorant Liberals!
However, there are just a couple of other aspects of this issue you might have missed.
Many folks have prescription plans which routinely provide generic drugs through Eastern European pharmaceutical companies.
Thank goodness too, that U. S. prescription services check to quality of those prescriptions and are NOT motivated only by profits, like so many American Companies.
But, is it possible boberin may have been talking about reputable Canadian pharmaceutical companies which are far more regulated and controlled than their U. S, counterparts?

The “exhorbitant prices” pay for the R and D that creates more effective pharmaceuticals.
My mother’s Medicare prescriptions are provided at a lesser price than those sold at retail. These are not generics either. I looked into whether she could procure the same medicines at a discounted generic rate through our local grocery store’s pharmacy and through several other sources.
From what I have read, the Medicare pharmaceuticals have turned out to be cheaper than was originally prognosticated. If you know otherwise, with verification, post the information here.

In case nobody’s noticed, the Supreme Court has already ruled that criminals can’t be required to register illegal firearms because it would violate their fifth amendment rights. Forcing them to register an illegal weapon would amount to compelling them to incriminate themselves. So registration requirements only apply to law abiding citizens, not criminals. Strange but true.
