William Jefferson Gets 13 Well-deserved Years. Let's Get the Rest of Them

Well, justice is sometimes slow in coming but it has at last come to at least one Democrat slimeball, William Jefferson who was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for the bribes he accepted. You might recall that the FBI found $90,000 in 'cold' cash in his refrigerator, proceeds of a bribe.

Now if we could just get the national poster boy for the Democrat Culture of Corruption, John Murtha and maybe even the local poster boy, Chris Jerram. It's time to clean house of these self-serving bums who are willing to sell whatever sense of integrity they might have or have had for campaign donations and opportunities to enrich and benefit their friends.....

Ben Nelson and Moveon.org

Don't think that it is only conservatives that are trying to show Ben Nelson the 'right' way to vote on health care. Here is an e-mail received today from the folks at Moveon.org. We will only be sure who Ben listens to when the actual vote comes on cloture.

Here's the e-mail:

Dear MoveOn member,
Apparently, some in Washington think our current health care system is working fine.
Despite the consistent popularity of the public option in surveys and its momentum in Congress, a few nervous senators are still trying to get rid of it. Their latest idea is to replace it with a "trigger," a provision that could kill the public option through indefinite delay.

Even though big insurance companies have proven they're uninterested in solving America's health care crisis, these senators think they should be given more time to clean up their act. Sen. Nelson has been one of the biggest boosters of the trigger.1 That's very troubling, considering 170,000 Nebraskans go without health insurance each year2 and more than 60% of bankruptcies across the country are caused by medical expenses.3

We need to get the facts out and show Sen. Nelson that voters in Nebraska support a real public option and won't be fooled by a weak imitation.

Can you send a letter to the editor of your local paper about how the trigger is a bogus substitute and Sen. Nelson needs to get behind reform with the choice of a real public option?

A Job Summit? Who Will He Invite and Do You Believe He Will Listen?

We are amused that Prince of Peace Nobel Laureate Commissar Barack Hussein Obama has decided to call a summit on job creation sometime next month. Apparently, 10.2% unemployment, the worst since 1983, isn't important enough to keep him from running off to Asia this week while Americans are suffering here at home-not to mention the 4000 or so that are dying as a result of his administration's incompetent handling of H1N1 vaccine distribution (woe unto George Bush had he done this).

In any event, we wonder who he will call to his summit? If he does call real small business leaders, who create more than 70% of every new job created in this country, he probably won't hear what they say since they will most

likely say:

• cut taxes
• abandon health care reform
• abandon cap and trade
• quit creating government jobs with our 'stimulus' dollars
• abandon card check
• quit nationalizing failed businesses
• get government off our back

None of these suggestions fit the socialist,nationalization principles advocated by Prince of Peace Nobel Laureate Commissar Barack Hussein Obama and Comrades Pelosi, Reid, etal. In fact, these suggestions are diametrically opposed to the job destroying policies of this president

FT. Hood - The Consequences of Being Politcally Correct and Ignoring Reality

One of our favorites, Charles Krauthammer has a column today on the terrorist murderer who killed 13 at Fort Hood barely a week ago and the media's pathetic excuse-looking/making response. You can read it at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/12/AR2009111209824.html?wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter

We simply wonder when our elected leaders and our media will finally understand that Islam is not a religion to be tolerated but one with which we are at war with? Sorry we aren't politically correct.

No Apologies

If you read our blog on Tuesday (Media and Military Out of Touch and on Suicidal Mission ) you may have caught on to the fact that after hearing him we've become fans of Cal Thomas. And his column on Tuesday which we referenced certainly was right on.

His column today is equally right on. Among other things Thomas says of diversity:

"Why do so many American leaders seem ashamed and apologetic about America? Holding to the view that America is unexceptional and that no idea, policy, belief, or practice is to be preferred over any other is not diversity. Rather, it is thin gruel; unappealing and unappetizing, and it robs us of our strength.

Did diversity build and sustain America through world wars and economic challenges? No, it was a firm set of principles held by patriots of many races who were willing to pay the price in money and blood. These days, we seem to be increasingly confronted with people who are the political equivalent of shoplifters: they want the benefits without paying the price.

If you are unwilling to part with the money you earned while building a business, or a life, to fund a life for others who refused to do so, are you selfish? As a way of punishment, should your hard-earned money be given over to those who didn't earn it?

If you have a particular faith (Christian) you are to be discriminated against and silenced. Your sacred symbols -- from crosses on a desert mountain, to Nativity displays in public places -- are banned. You increasingly are forbidden to pray publicly "in Jesus' name," but Muslims can speak of Allah and Mohammed anywhere they like and who is foolish enough to try to silence them?"

Yes, we may be troglodytes in the eyes of liberal apologists, but we believe in American exceptionalism. We believe that this country was founded upon Judeo Christian underpinnings that made it, at least until now, the greatest purveyor of freedom of any nation in the history of this measly little planet. Expect no apologies.

Guess that's why we like Thomas. He has a conservative Christian outlook and makes no apologies for it. Would that there were more Americans that weren't afraid to acknowledge the same.

Mail From MoveOn

MoveOn.org is to moderate Democrats what The Club For Growth is to moderate Republicans although the Club for Growth doesn't have anywhere near the money of George Soros and friends. Having so noted, one of our moderate Democrat contributors received this e-mail today:

"Dear MoveOn member,

We won a big victory on health care on Saturday when the House of Representatives passed a bill that includes a public health insurance option.
But dozens of conservative Democrats sided with Big Insurance to vote against it.
We've got to show that voters will make them pay a political price for standing in the way of health care reform—and send a message to any Democrats in the Senate who are considering doing the same.

So we're rushing to launch a major new TV ad campaign in the home districts of the Democrats who voted against the bill—spending more than ever before on ads to hold Democrats accountable.

We've got to start airing these ads before the Senate takes up health care, and that means we need 7 donations from folks in Omaha today. Can you chip in $20?"

We wonder where the liberal columnists are in discussing the deep divisions in the Democrat party?

Omaha Updates

Just a couple of things you might want to be aware of:

• Councilman Jerram is actively working on an effort to replace City Councilman Sigerson with a Democrat. This, while Chuck is making great recuperative progress and has until March to return to the council
• An individual or individuals are planning on checking out petitions to recall Mayor Suttle come December. As well as we can determine, this is not a well organized effort and we'd assert that the timing is bad. There are rumors of a much more organized effort that may be in the making.
