As the “Hate Crime” bill makes its way through the Senate, having already passed the House, Christians and Conservatives have complained that the bill will be used to silence speech not in agreement with the Left’s “progressive” ideas.  We have stated our concern that it will be used to possibly jail those who speak their mind on “controversial” subjects.  We have repeatedly been told that something like that would never happen, that we have the right to say what we want and only those who actually commit crimes will be punished.  They have stated that the “incite” phrase of the bill wouldn’t, even couldn’t, be used against preachers and protesters.

Well, hold on to your hats!

Wacko Keith Olbermann has already lashed out over the killing of mass murderer George Tiller.  On a recent rant show of his, he unleashed on blogger Jill Stanek for her pro-life stance and speech.

The winner, Jill Stanek of the infamous WorldNetDaily, who did not get the point in the assassination of Doctor George Tiller, that you can be complicit in such a crime, even if you never met the man nor his assassin.

As you can see, already we are hearing, not only here but elsewhere in MSM land, that we on the pro-life side are to blame for the death of this killer.  Nevermind that there have already been far more people from the pro-life movement who have denounced his killing than you’ll ever hear Muslims denounce the violence of terrorist killing in the name of Allah.  It’s just further proof that if the “hate crime” legislation is passed, we can kiss our 1st Amendment freedoms good-bye.

Bob at Black & Right found an interesting tidbit this evening.  On January 6, 2009, Rep. Serrano (D-NY) submitted H.J. Res. 5, an amendment to the Constitution to repeal the 22nd Amendment.  That amemdment is the one put in place after the last “Savior” the Democrats had left office.  It was put in place to ensure the American people would follow the intent of the Founding Fathers.

George Washington refused to run for office a third time, even though he would have easily won election.  He realized our country didn’t need a king, and to ensure that, the leader must change often.  He, and every President from him to FDR, abided by that wish.  FDR, though, believed himself to be the savior of the nation and ran for four terms.  And look at the damage he did.

Now, the loony Dems in Congress want to use their new-found power to do it again.  As we have seen, though, they have very little respect for the wishes of the Founding Fathers.  They “find” rights in the Constitution that were never put there and reject ones that were clearly spelled out and practiced.  Did we expect more from them?

You know, I remember back after Reagan won his second election, people called for a repeal of the 22nd Amendment so he could run a third time.  His response was to quickly denounce it and state that the wishes of the Founding Fathers and the American people should not be thrown away on anyone.  He stated that if the amendment were repealed, he still wouldn’t run a third time.  Obama has made no such proclamation, and, in fact, H.J. Res. 5 sits in a Judicial Subcommittee awaiting action.  No doubt they’ll try to usher it through as soon as they feel they have opportunity to see it actually ratified.  Thank God for at least 14 deep red states.

Thanks Bob.

Ever since the 2008 elections, liberals have been getting braver by the day.  You don’t have to look to far on the net to hear and see new outrageous statements from the left.  Whether it’s Obama telling a private company who they can employ or judges stating that homeschooled children should be put into public school to “challenge” their parent’s teaching, the statements just get more and more out there.

That’s the determination of House Democrats yesterday, as they passed H.R. 1913, which expands the hate crimes laws to include crimes based on sexual orientation, including those whose speech “induces” others to acts of violence.  This was clearly aimed at those who speak out, proclaiming that homosexuality is immoral.  Despite claims from the Left that it would never come to that, many supporters admit that it could be used against someone, say a pastor, who simply speaks out against the lifestyle.

Every day, this facist Pelosi-Reid-Obama government takes steps further and further away from the Constitution.  The next thing to happen will be to appoint judges who share the same facistic viewpoints.  If this bill comes before the current Supreme Court, it will surely be struck down as a clear violation of our First Amendment rights.  Hopefully, there will be no retirements or deaths of Conservatives on the Court, although I wouldn’t put it past Pelosi, Reid or Obama to assassinate one of them, calling it a “patriotic” slaying to “protect rights.”

We have endured the last 100 days, hoping the Left would expose their true identity and agenda prior to the upcoming 2010 elections.  As fast as they are moving toward facism, stripping our rights at every turn, I’m not sure America will survive that long.

After years of wrong votes and embarrassing his party, one of the biggest RINOs in Congress finally gets something right; Arlen Specter will switch to the Democratic Party for the 2010 election.  In his own words, the Democrat Party is more in line with his beliefs than the Republican.  This would be because the Republican Part is closer to a conservative party than the Democrats will ever be.

Arlen has been a pro-choice, tax-and-spend Senator for quite some time.  He has voted anti-life on many occasions and voted for the recent Stimulus debacle.  He has, in fact, been the poster child for the definition of a RINO.

The funny thing is that he claims he came into office as part of the “diversity” that swept in with Reagan.  That makes me wonder if he read anything Reagan believed in.  Considering Reagan ushered in a revival of conservative principals, Arlen missed that one, too.

For years I was disappointed in Pennsylvania Republicans that they couldn’t put an end to Specter’s reign of liberalism.  At least now he’ll help them out by getting out of the way.  Of course, the funny thing will be when Democrats won’t vote for him because they won’t forgive him for his former allegiance.

So, along with many, many other true Conservatives, we say “thank you and good-bye” to Arlen.”  Good riddance.

This administration is in the process of stripping rights faster and further than any administration in our history.  They are violating rights by taxing specific individuals unfairly.  They are pursuing legislation to limit dissenting speech.  They are considering removing the protection from doctors to object to proceedures they consider immoral and against their conscience.  They have stolen parental rights to protect their daughters from dangerous medicines.

Every year on tax day, I share my thoughts on taxes, spending and the IRS with Congressman Bart Gordon (D-TN).  I feel it my duty to keep him informed of how I feel regarding his policies.  I thought today, Tax Day Tea Party Day, I’d share it with you to encourage you to write your congressman a similar note.

Today is another tax day.  It is another day when we are reminded of the failed spending policies of our government.  Today, people across the country are joining together by the tens of thousands to protest the recent spending abominations and continued oppressive tax policies of this nation.  Please take note of the large numbers and note that we are fed up with the current path this country is on and will no longer stand silently by.

There are two courses of action that can, and should, be taken to ease the burden the government has laid on the people.  First, elimination of the current tax code is a must.  It is oppressive and complicated.  Twenty-three cents, sometimes more, are added to every dollar of the cost of every item we purchase.  These taxes are hidden and unfair.  A better, fairer tax system must be adopted.  One such as the Fair Tax, which eliminates all payroll and corporate taxes and replaces them with a simple tax added at the point of consumption, would be must easier and better for average Americans.  The more someone spends, the more they pay.  This would mean those with more to spend would pay more.

Second, Congress must put an end to all pork spending.  These pet projects have added billions to our debt, at a time when we can no longer afford them.  They are unnecessary, wasteful and immoral.  At current rates, newborns delivered today, April 15, 2009, are already responsible for $47,000 in national debt.  This is absurd and utterly immoral.  It cannot continue.  Most pork projects should be funded at the state or local level, not by Congress.

Congress has already overstepped its Constitutional authority.  Please help restore it to its rightful place.  Eliminate wasteful spending and oppressive and immoral taxation before our nations falls on the world scene and we become utterly irrelevant to the world.

With the impending GIVE and SERVE legislation now before Congress, slavery is making a comeback, thanks to the Democrat Party and President Barack Obama.  The ACLU has fought for years to keep criminals in prison from having to work hard, claiming you can’t make them work against their will, yet now Pelosi, Reid and Obama want to bring slavery to a youth near you.

CNN Money is reporting that last year’s HOPE program to help stop forclosures has helped since its passage.  One person.  One.

This is the program we were told would help 400,000 families avoid losing their homes.  Since passage, it has only had a little over 700 apply and one family refinanced.  So, it’s time to “revamp” the program.  Thus, we give you HASP, Homeowner Affordability and Stabilization Plan.  This will surely save us!

Last night, Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats gave us a new reason to fear the government.  Now, if you make money, even if the government writes specific laws to protect you, they can just enact a special tax to get you.  Constitution?  What Constitution?!
