I am sure you have seen the video of Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC) assaulting the students on the sidewalk outside a Nancy Pelosi fundraiser.
When I first watched this video, and listened to Etheridge’s voice, I wasn’t so taken with the assault angle of the event; I was more concerned with the amount of fear in the congressman’s voice. Why would a congressman that has served in the House for 14 years and was, at one time in the army, be so afraid of two youngsters, college students or not?
While you watch the video again, keep in mind situations ranging from our GDP to debt ratio, Greece and the round-robin of debt inside the EU, Iran, Israel, BP, to the Restore American Plan, etc. I do believe that our congress is facing some bigger players than little old ladies who participate in the tea parties.
According to Mr. Etheridge’s statement from his press conference, he had had a long day, but would not speak about the event that he was coming from because it wasn’t the issue. What happened at Nancy’s fundraiser?
Glenn starts this program with the message that Bambi was sending when he used ‘salty language’ in reference to kicking tush earlier in the week. This was an outstanding episode on the civil war raging inside the Democratic party and the liberal left who are now heckling and throwing things at Nancy Pelosi. Unfortunately, in Glenn’s perspective, we are stuck in the middle of the war between the hyenas fighting over a our dead carcass. I don’t personally think that because I know that numbers and high ground trump almost everything.
Fascist-In-Charge Nancy Pelosi has used a procedural move to very quietly pass DNA collection legislation that, on any level, violates privacy because of the forced collection from arrestees; not convicted felons.
I had a commenter today try to say that equating Obama’s new interrogation teams to the Gestapo was silly, and he/she implied I was pretty much clueless as to what the Gestapo actually was.
Any given governmental action, in and of itself, might not raise any patriotic alarms, but when they have been placed one right after another over the past ten years, it’s hard not to see the noose tightening.
Let’s add this domino, shall we? You tell me that this isn’t the government tagging it’s property, and that they don’t consider us all to be criminals that have not yet been caught.
Millions of Americans arrested for but not convicted of crimes will likely have their DNA forcibly extracted and added to a national database, according to a bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday. (Guilty before being proven innocent?)
By a 357 to 32 vote, the House approved legislation that will pay state governments to require DNA samples, which could mean drawing blood with a needle, from adults “arrested for” certain serious crimes. Not one Democrat voted against the database measure, which would hand out about $75 million to states that agree to make such testing mandatory.
Globalist and border erasing Nancy Pelosi is at it again. She wants comprehensive immigration reform that includes ‘respect for the contributions newcomers bring to us’. Would those contributions we need to respect be invading our country illegally bringing American deaths, human slave trafficking, drugs, violence, and soaring nanny-state costs?
Is it any wonder that Nancy receives death threats when she flushed whatever common sense she was born with down the toilet?
(CNSNews.com) — Speaking at the Asian-American and Pacific Islanders Summit held at the Capitol on Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for amnesty for illegal aliens in the United States, a proposal she called a “path to legalization.”
“Hopefully, we will be moving toward comprehensive immigration reform that secures our borders, enforces our laws, protects our workers, honors family unification and has a path to legalization–so that we have certainty in our country and respect for the contributions that newcomers bring to us,” she said on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
I can honestly say that my greek orthodox and catholic grandparents that entered this country legally would be kicking Nancy’s A** all over the neighborhood for attempting to use christians’ belief systems against them when it comes to illegal aliens and amnesty. What about lying, cheating, and stealing? How about that ‘rule of law’ that says crossing the border illegally is a criminal act? I am so over people that want their cake and the opportunity to eat it too.
(CNSNews.com) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she has told Catholic cardinals, archbishops and bishops that she wants them to speak from the pulpit for immigration reform and tell Catholics who oppose it that reform “is a manifestation of our living the gospels.”
In her comments at the Catholic Community Conference on Capitol Hill on May 6, Pelosi specifically referenced illegal immigrants in America, saying as a practical matter, “we can’t say to people, 12 million of you, ‘go back to wherever you came from or go to jail.’”
“I would hope that there’s one thing that we can do working together as we go forward that speaks to what the Bible tells us about the dignity and worth of every person — and that is on the subject of immigration,” Pelosi said in her remarks. “Because I think the Church is going to have to play a very major role in how we, in how people are treated.”
“The cardinals, the archbishops, the bishops that come to me and say, ‘We want you to pass immigration reform,’” disclosed Pelosi. “And I say, ‘But I want you to speak about it from the pulpit.’
“I want you to instruct your, whatever the communication is — the people, some of them, oppose immigration reform are sitting in those pews and you have to tell them that this is a ‘manifestation of our living the gospels,’” said Pelosi. “Our patron saint of San Francisco, St. Francis of Assisi, he said, ‘preach the gospel –sometimes use words.’ We need the words to be said because it isn’t being picked up automatically.”
Pelosi, a Catholic and a Trinity College alumnus, said the estimated 12 million people currently living in America illegally cannot be told by society to go back to where they came from or “go to jail.”
“We have to respect that dignity and worth (of the individual), and recognize that the Church has an important role to play in that,” she said. “We don’t — as a practical matter, we can’t say to people, 12 million of you, ‘go back to wherever you came from or go to jail.’”
“We can’t do that,” she said. “But the newcomers to America are really, again, important to the constant re-invigoration of America, which is part of who we are and have always been unless we’re all Native American — God Bless them. But most of the people here came from someplace else.”
A reporter asked the soon-to-be-former-Speaker of the House a question about American teenager use of illegal drugs coming across the Mexican border, and if Nancy is ‘committed to sealing the border’ in regards to said drugs.
What follows is Nancy’s remarks about giving treatment on demand to American teenagers as a Rand Corporation’s study states that it is the ‘cheapest’ way to solve the problem of demand. Nancy runs down the different methods and costs but at no point does she suggest stopping the influx of drugs.
Reporter: “The Justice Department has reported that 1 in 5 teenagers used illicit drugs last year, and most of those drugs came across the border from Mexico. Are you committed to sealing the border against the influx of illegal drugs from Mexico, and if so, do you have target date in mind for getting that done?”
The Dipstick Of The House: “Well if you question is about drugs, I’m for reducing demand in the United States. Ah, that is what our responsibility is, ah, on this subject. Ah, the Rand Corporation, a few years ago, did a report that said it would be much less expensive for us to, through prevention first and foremost, but through treatment on demand to reduce, ah, demand in our country. It’s the cheapest way to solve this problem. Incarceration is the next cheapest. It costs seven times more to to incarcerate than to have treatment on demand. It costs fifteen times more to, um, interdict at the border, and it costs twenty five more times more, ah, to, um, with eradiction of the cocoa leaf. This is an issue that is very important to our country because of what it is doing to our teenagers. That is the problem; what it is doing to our people. Controlling our border is our responsibility, so whether you are talking about stopping drugs from coming in or having a, ah, well managed migration policy, we have a responsibility to secure our border, but I don’t know what you mean by ‘seal’. And I think sealing the border doesn’t do a whole lot to reduce demand in the United States. As I travel the country, I know that kids are on meth and they can make it in their bathtubs. So again, if the issue is predicated on your first premise, which is, 1 in 5 teenagers in America has used drugs; is that the point? So let’s, ya know, let’s secure our border for every reason that we have a responsibility to do so, but, topic, but, if our purpose is to solve that problem, we must reduce demand and the best way to do that is through prevention and through treatment on demand.
Allen West speaking about Ron Klein, and the left’s attacks on him and the tea party patriots. Mr. West also has a special message for Nancy Pelosi in January of 2011.
“This is about fighting a dishonest tyranny. Fighting against people that will lie to the American People and say we are doing all this for the betterment of your lives when all they are doing is creating more slaves, so that they can have control over them.”

Un-Frakkin-Believable! Nancy believes that dems need to go on the offensive with their constituents during the break. What? Ramming through a number of totally unacceptable policies isn’t being on the offensive?
(As always, emphasis of incredibly stupid comments and some flat out lies is mine.)
Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants House Democrats to go on offense during the critical two-week recess that begins this weekend.
Members returning to their districts should tout the new healthcare law’s benefits to their constituents, according to the “recess packet” issued by Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) office this week and obtained by The Hill.
“With the passage of health insurance reform, this District Work Period is a critical time to go on offense,” the memo states.
Members should “convey the immediate benefits of health reform to your constituents (such as better prescription drug benefits for seniors, tax credits for small businesses and prohibiting insurance companies from canceling your policy if you get sick),” the memo said.
How about those immediate taxes, and those job losses associated with this bill? How about the 8,000 Sallie Mae employees who are in limbo now that Student Loans are now the government’s business under Nancy’s fascist healthcare bill? How about all those doctors queuing up for retirement? How about that $14 Billion (+?) being sucked out of the free market because big companies like Caterpillar, AT&T, and Verizon (among 3500) now have additional taxes to pay – how many are going to lose their jobs now?
Pelosi’s advice to members illustrates that she and other Democratic leaders believe they can capitalize on healthcare to rally before the fall.
The message in the memo wasn’t limited to healthcare.
Lawmakers also should also “demonstrate the work of this Congress to create jobs and strengthen the economy,” and “publicize the benefits of the $800 billion in tax cuts this Congress has enacted” through last year’s $787 billion stimulus package, according to the memo. (“$800 BILLION in tax cuts…through a $787 BILLION stimulus package” – is this a typo from TheHill or more of Nancy’s red crayon math?)
Oh, but I think this is the best one yet.
They should also“tell their constituents how all this was done in a fiscally responsible, open and transparent way,”it states.
Nancy has, almost single-handedly, crippled the entire country with this 2700 page POS law that punishes success, and enslaves companies and individuals to the federal government.
Remember when Nazi Nancy stated that once they kick down the healthcare door, more legislation would follow? Lynn Woolsey is planning on introducing the ‘robust public option’ bill tomorrow when Bahana C. Obama signs the fascist health care bill into law.
A leader of the House liberals’ caucus said Monday she’ll introduce new legislation to revive the public option.
Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), the co-chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said she plans to unveil legislation to add the government-run option to the national healthcare exchange established by legislation President Barack Obama is to sign tomorrow.
“We will introduce a robust public option bill on the very day the president signs the reconciliation bill into law,” Woolsey said Monday during an interview on MSNBC.
The public insurance option had been a part of the healthcare legislation first approved by the House in November, but Senate Democratic leaders were forced to abandon the provision after it became clear that they wouldn’t be able to get all 60 Democrats (at the time) to sign onto legislation containing that provision.
Woolsey and her co-chairman of the caucus, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), had pushed for the public option throughout the different stages of the health debate, but still ended up voting in favor of the legislation in the end, despite some threats to do otherwise earlier in the process.
Some Senate Democrats, like Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee Chairman Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), have spoken of revisiting the public option down the line, too.
And although it’s not clear whether the votes are there to advance such a measure, Woolsey said she’d seen some enthusiasm for her measure.
“Every single member who I’ve mentioned to reintroducing the robust public option has said, ‘Sign me on,'” she said.
The California congresswoman’s effort could be compared in a way to Republican efforts emerging Monday. A number of House and Senate GOP lawmakers have gotten behind bills to repeal the bill, which was passed Sunday night.
