Congressional Democrats and mainstream media heaped high praise on Speaker Pelosi for finally delivering the House health care reform bill, all 2000+ pages of it. In the aftermath of a liberal love fest that focused more on Pelosi’s historical win than on how close the vote actually was, the question is, will Majority Leader Harry Reid be able to duplicate Pelosi’s success in the Senate?

Will Harry Reid adopt Pelosi's tactics?

Pelosi claimed the win was easy, but facts, fans and foes say otherwise. Pelosi’s final push to birth H.R. 3962 required a Saturday night, rush-rush hush-hush roll call vote, when most Americans were already asleep or too pooped to pay attention. At roughly 11 p.m. EST, Pelosi and Company got their last 3 votes out of 435 possible, passing the House version of health care reform by just .7%. Hardly a mandate or majority, “barely” describes it better.

In America, little girls learn they can grow up to become anything they want: ballerinas, movie stars… even Tom Cruise’s wife. Some dream of becoming basketball players, business owners or heads of state.

Thankfully, a few brave lassies become soldiers, cops and heroes. And sometimes they become all three, without wiggling their noses or clicking their ruby slippers.

Little girls can become big heroes... in America, home of the brave.

Let us forget, just for a moment, what ails our nation. Congress, Pelosi and health care reform pale in light of the Ft. Hood massacre.  Veteran’s Day should be every day, when we  celebrate the men and women who bravely and selflessly protect human life, liberty and freedom, in battlefields and war-torn cities around the world, and less predictably, in Killeen, Texas. That’s where a little girl all-grown-up became a true red-white-and-blue American hero, in the blink of a feminine eyelash.

Sgt. Kimberly Munley, 34, is a DoD civilian police officer at Ft. Hood. She is also a veteran, having served as a loyal soldier in the United States Army. As such, Sgt. Munley took an oath to defend her Army brothers and sisters against any hostile force, even if it meant killing a fellow officer. Read the rest of this entry »

Democrats are taking aim at Sarah Palin’s Facebook posts. Their strategy to shoot her down? Call her a liar.

In their open letter to Palin, the Democrats begin, “You’ve spent a great deal of time spreading lies about health reform, and we’ve had enough. We’re calling you out. And since you’ve spread so much misinformation on Facebook, we’ve decided to come here to do it.”

Oh, no! Her mouth is moving!

The Democrats’ Facebook note has so far generated over 100 comments, mostly from people seizing the opportunity to vent their rage against Palin. Ironically, some people took the time to comment simply to say she wasn’t even worth acknowledging.

On Democrats.org, they state, “A lot of folks use Facebook to stay in touch with family and friends. For Sarah Palin, it’s a great way to spread lies about health insurance reform.”

Maybe Ben Bernanke is right and the economy is starting to take hold once again. Or, maybe he just took a huge sip from the Obama Kool-Aid fountain of falsities. Can we all be clear here and say the unemployment rate is nowhere near 10 percent. In fact, it is more in the range of 15 or 16 percent.

I want your jobs!

Why? The Labor Department stops counting folks who are off the rolls, or in other words, those who have been unemployed for a long period of time or have stopped looking for a job all together. So, every time you hear Washington release unemployment numbers remember the real number hiding behind the so called “number.”
