Proud Democrats Rally to Support Obama, McMahon in Back-to-Basics Traditional Democrat Values!
As someone who was a committed Democrat from my first vote for Jimmy Carter 'til I finally left the party in 2004, I have to say this is a banner day for the party I grew
Proud Democrats resurrect cherished traditions in
support of the most racially-sensitive President
since Woodrow Wilson
President Barack Hussein Obama, a man with not one drop of African-American blood in his body, went on The View and described the millions of real African-Americans who voted for him as a "mongrel breed."
“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944.
And Shirley Sherrod, finacial patron of thousands of nonexistent African-American farmers with our money, suggested that Obama might be out of touch with those "mongrels": "And, yes, she said she meant to suggest that President Obama was in need of a history lesson. “I need to have him down there so I can take him around and show him some of that history,” she said of President Obama..."
Meanwhile, in that hotbed of progressive thought, New York City, Democratic Congressman Mike McMahon felt obliged to warn the voters that his GOP rival was seeking to buy the election with perfidious, insidious "Jewish money."
" ...if the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed..." A. Schickelgruber, 1939
"I wish I could have lived to see this day." Senator Robert J. Byrd (D. — Stiff)
So nice to see them coming out at last. But it's annoying as hell I went and changed parties when there was so much yummy racism in the one I just left...
A Win and an Outrage...

Victory—Federal Judge Permits Father of Serviceman Killed on USS Cole to Express Opposition to Islamic Terrorism Over Objections of Marine Base Commander!
ANN ARBOR, MI – Jesse Nieto is one of those many unsung patriotic Americans. He served 25 years in the Marine Corps, including two combat tours in Vietnam . His youngest son, Marc, and 16 of Marc’s shipmates were killed on October 12, 2000, by Islamic terrorists who bombed the USS Cole. Nieto has worked as a civilian employee at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in North Carolina since 1994.
Yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm J. Howard delivered good news to Mr. Nieto. He ruled that Camp Lejeune officials violated his free speech rights when they ordered him to remove decals attacking Muslim terrorists from his vehicle. Judge Howard enjoined Marine officials from further enforcing the ban against Nieto.
The rest of the story on political correctness run amuck follows.
Beginning in 2001, to show his anger toward the Muslim terrorists who killed his son, Nieto displayed various decals on his vehicle expressing anti-terrorist sentiments, such as "Remember the Cole, 12 Oct 2000, " "Islam=Terrorism, " and "We Died, They Rejoiced." Based on a complaint from a Marine who is married to a Muslim, on July 31, 2008, two military police officers (MPs) issued Nieto a ticket for displaying "offensive material."
After Nieto refused to remove the "offending" decals from his vehicle, the Base Magistrate issued Nieto a written order, ordering him to remove his vehicle from the base until all decals were removed and banning his vehicle from all other federal installations. The order in effect prevented Nieto from driving his vehicle to Arlington National Cemetery (a federal installation) to visit the grave marker of his fallen son.
As a result of the Marine Corps’ unlawful action, the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, filed a federal lawsuit against the Camp Lejeune Commanding Officer and the Base Magistrate on behalf of Nieto in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The civil rights lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of the military’s ban on Nieto’s speech.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, "Political correctness is destroying our military. 9/11 was caused by Islamic terrorists, and our troops are being killed by Islamic terrorists overseas and on our very own military bases; yet, our commanders are more concerned about ‘diversity’ and not offending the Muslim community. And here, the military re-victimized a father anguishing over the murder of his son by Islamic terrorists because they don’t want to offend Muslims." During sworn testimony taken in the case, Marine officials admitted they would allow speech that favored Islam, but not Nieto’s speech because they considered it "extremist, indecent, and offensive."
In his opinion, Judge Howard responded to the government’s argument as follows: "Defendants argue that the regulation is reasonable and necessary because it is aimed at preventing speech the sole intention of which is to inflame the passion of those within the Base command. However, defendants fail to recognize that pro Islamic messages, such as ‘Islam is Peace, ’ and ‘Islam is Love, ’ may be just as incendiary to individuals like plaintiff as anti-Islamic messages are to the individual who complained about plaintiff’s decals"
Robert Muise, Senior Trial Counsel for the Law Center who handled the case, commented, "As Judge Howard’s well-reasoned opinion makes plain, political correctness and ‘diversity’ do not justify violating the Constitution. As a former Marine, I am ashamed at the way the Marine Corps treated this grieving father and war veteran. When I told him of the good news yesterday, he was elated. He plans to be back on base with his vehicle early next week."

Chinese Navy Steaming for Oakland!
A task force of the People's Liberation Navy has left harbor in China, heading for the US port of Oakland California following the blockading of a Chinese freighter by anti-Israeli activists and American leftists who apparently can't tell the difference between Hebrew and Chinese...
Under the guise of'anti-piracy operations, the Chinese fleet nears the California coast...
Spokesmen for the Chinese government declared the action was in defense of "legitimate national interests" and undertaking to defend the lives and property of millions of Chinese immigrants, documented and not, who have settled in what the PRC calls "Occupied America".
WH Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that the President wanted to oppose the occupation of Oakland but was unable to do so, "because it would offer the GOP no reason to accommodate the Administration on comprehensive immigration reform."
Senator John McCain (Weathervane-AZ) said he would probably have an opinion on the invasion in a coupleof days when he saw how it was polling...

SEIU and every teacher's union are underfunding their pension plans but have hundreds of millions of dollars to donate to Democratic candidates.
The Obama Administration has put out so much bad paper in the T-Bill market it's forced to buy its own notes with money it prints to keep the whole house of cards from collapsing.
The Obama Administration is talking about forcibly converting our private 401k's to government "accounts" and even re-banning the private ownership of gold to bring more solid cash back into its larcenous reach.
Democrat-run cities across the country are doing everything from fiddling with home assessments to raising the price on parking meters and drinking water, to support their corrupt union voting blocs.
Obama laughs as he lies about cutting our taxes. "Fees" and "charges" go up every day.
Let's face it: whatever poses it cares to strike, the Democratic Party is nothing but an organized criminal conspiracy against the American people.

Pelosi: Lawmakers Should Sacrifice Jobs for Health Care (AP)
House Speaker Pelosi says lawmakers aren't in Washington for job security but 'to do the job for the American people.'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue's massive role in this election year.
Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment, will help the public, Pelosi said in an interview being broadcast Sunday the ABC News program "This Week."
"We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress," she said. "We're here to do the job for the American people."
It took courage for Congress to pass Social Security and Medicare, which eventually became highly popular, she said, "and many of the same forces that were at work decades ago are at work again against this bill."
It's unclear whether Pelosi's remarks will embolden or chill dozens of moderate House Democrats who face withering criticisms of the health care proposal in visits with constituents and in national polls. Republican lawmaker unanimously oppose the health care proposals, and many GOP strategists believe voters will turn against Democrats in the November elections.
Pelosi, from San Francisco, is more liberal than scores of her Democratic colleagues. But she generally walks a careful line between urging them to back left-of-center policies and giving them a green light to buck party leaders to improve their re-election hopes.
Her comments to ABC, in the interview released Sunday, seemed to acknowledge the widely held view that Democrats will lose House seats this fall -- maybe a lot. They now control the chamber 255 to 178, with two vacancies. Pelosi stopped well short of suggesting Democrats could lose their majority, but she called on members of her party to make a bold move on health care with no prospects of GOP help.
"Time is up," she said. "We really have to go forth."
Her comments somewhat echoed those of President Obama, who said at the end of last week's bipartisan health care summit that Congress should act on the issue and let voters render their verdicts. "That's what elections are for," he said.
The White House says Obama, perhaps on Wednesday, will announce a "way forward" on health care. He, Pelosi, and Senate Democratic leaders have left little doubt that they hope to pass a Democratic-crafted bill under "budget reconciliation" rules that would bar Republican filibusters in the Senate. It's unclear whether Pelosi can muster the needed votes in the House.
White House officials say they will redouble efforts to remind voters that the Senate passed an Obama-backed health care bill in December, with a super majority of 60 votes. The new plan calls for the House to pass that bill and send it to Obama's desk, and then use Senate budget reconciliation rules to make several changes demanded by House Democrats.
Following a Republican victory in Massachusetts last month, Democrats now control 59 of the Senate's 100 seats, one vote short of the number needed to block GOP filibusters.
Pelosi told CNN that "in a matter of days" Democrats will have specific legislative language on health care to show to the public and to wavering lawmakers. She predicted voters will warm up to the bill once they understand its details.
"When we have a bill," she said, "you can bake the pie, you can sell the pie. But you have to have a pie to sell."
Obama and Democratic lawmakers say they may add several more Republican ideas to their legislative package, even if it's unlikely to attract a single GOP vote. One idea, by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., would focus on battling waste and fraud in the medical system.
The main elements of the Democratic plan are known, and opposed by Republicans in Congress. It would insure about 30 million more Americans over 10 years with subsidies for the poor and a new requirement for nearly everyone to carry health insurance.
It would also bar some insurance company practices, such as denying coverage to people with medical problems. And it would establish government-run exchanges to help individuals and small businesses obtain insurance policies, although it would exclude the "public option" that many liberals wanted.
When did Fox become NBC? That is a gross misrepresentation of the bill in those last two paragraphs. If I want uncritical repetition of AP propaganda I could buy the LA Times.
These bills will STILL leave millions of Americans uncovered. Amerians who currently have coverage will lose it,as companies realize it's cheaper to pay the penalties than pay for health plans. Americans who don't need expensive coverage will be forced to buy it, or pay penalties. Americans who lose jobs and any coverage they might have will be forced either buy coverage or pay penatlies while out of work and financially distressed.
This is a BAD bill and it should go away. Period.
And the AMAZING thing is WHO Pelosi is asking to take this risk. This is a women who has steered over $200 million in no-bid contracts to companies she, her husband,or her family have interests in, whose own Cogressional seat MIGHT be at risk if the head of NAMBLA ran against her but not before, and she's asking all these other Democrats to risk their ricebowls, their kickbacks, their safe little gerrymandered empires, for her and Barack Obama? Ain't gonna happen.
