Dear House Republicans: This Will Be Unacceptable

Pence introduces Planned Parenthood defunding bill
I wrote yesterday that in the coming days and weeks, House pro-lifers would be introducing 4 important bills. The 1st, a bill to Repeal ObamaCare , is already in motion, starting yesterday. And today, Congressman Mike Pence introduced our 2nd bill, the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act , which would cut off Title X funding to organizations that commit abortion. The most obvious target is Planned Parenthood , which Congressman Pence spotlighted in his statement: It is morally wrong to end...

We Continue to Suffer Fools Gladly
Cut Spending - "The centerpiece of the "Pledge to America" unveiled by House Republicans in September was a promise to cut $100 billion out of non-defense Discretionary Spending during their first year in power: a pledge repeated by Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Budget Chairman Paul Ryan. Promise broken." What they said is that since the Democratic Congress could not even live up to its sworn duty to produce a budget; and instead have funded government unde...

We the People
Jan 17, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 17 • By TERRY EASTLAND Get alerts when there is a new article that might interest you. Whether House Republicans will succeed in limiting the national government is a question raised by a simple rule adopted on their first day in the majority. Under the rule, every bill when introduced must be accompanied by a statement citing the specific authority granted to Congress by the Constitution under which it may pass the proposed law. Lacking such a statement, the bill...

Frolic Into Boehnerland
… The Democrats have plenty of creatures like Boehner. But in the new Speaker of the House, the Republicans own the perfect archetype — the quintessential example of the kind of glad-handing, double-talking, K Street toady who has dominated the politics of both parties for decades. In sports, we talk about athletes who are the “total package,” and that term comes close to describing Boehner’s talent for perpetuating our corrupt and Debt-addled status quo: He’s...

Up, Up, And Away
That would be the price of Gasoline these days. I don’t know about where you live, but I do know I went away for a week, and came back with the Gas Prices higher than when I left. We are closing in on $3 a gallon here. The Washington Examiner had an editorial on this very issue, “Obama’s $5 A Gallon Gas Just Ahead.” The editorial reminded readers of one of Obama’s statements ignored by his supporters, though not by those of us who had our eyes wide open, and our ea...

Congressman Paul Ryan:Nation Must See Stark Choice Between Ruin and Exceptionalism by 2012
Republican Congressman Paul Ryan in an interview with Paul Gigot at The National Press Club this week said Republicans must offer the country a clear choice by 2012 between Obama’s “Debt ruin” or “American Exceptionalism.” I don’t think anyone could have said it any better than Paul Ryan. Because this is so important it needs to be said again. Republicans must find a way to set before the nation by 2012 the stark choice between the path we are on - “Debt Ru

Nancy Pelosi Pins the Blame on Bush For Democrats Losses
This is rich - Nancy Pelosi is blaming George W. Bush for the loss at the polls suffered by so many Democrats last year. “We still would have lost the election because we had 9.5% Unemployment.

Oprah Knows Best
In Dinesh D’Souza’s book, Letters to a Young Conservative, D’Douza explains in layman’s terms the difference between Conservatives and liberals. At root, Conservatives and liberals see the world so differently because they have different conceptions of human nature. Liberals tend to believe in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s proposition that human nature is intrinsically good. Conservatives know better. They recognize that there are two principles in human nature - good and evi

Outrageous outrage: State Department removes mother/father designations from passports
The downfall of America, part 8,173? “The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. “They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’”… Sprague said the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of Political Correctness. “We find that with changes in medical science and reproductive technology that we are confrontin

Pence to Headline Pro-Life Womens Groups Event
No one can quite figure out whether pro-life Congressman Mike Pence will become a Republican Candidate for president, but one pro-life group thinks he would make a good nominee. Pence, whose schedule has seen some focus on the Indiana component to suggest he is running for Governor but has others noting a South Carolina trip means a GOP presidential bid is still possible, is slated to appear at a Fundraising event for the Susan B. Anthony List. Pence’s speaking before the pro-life group wi...

WaPos Ezra Klein: Obamacare is Best Thing Dems Have Done In a Generation

Not yet released, Abby Johnsons book is shooting up the charts!
I received an advanced copy yesterday and have had a hard time putting it down. It’s excellent - compelling, intriguing, full of insight, and giving me a lot to think about. Here’s a description: Abby Johnson quit her job in October 2009. That simple act became a national news story because Abby was director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who, not long after assisting in an actual Abortion procedure for the first time, cross the line to join the Coalition for Life .
