Leave it to eighteen term Democrat Congressman Pete Stark to pretty much encapsulate what's wrong with the federal government.  That being that we have too many members of Congress such as himself who don't recognize constitutional limits on the power of Congress.

In the following video Stark is confronted by a constituent who proceeds to take him to school on the Constitution and the fact that it does indeed limit Congress to specific delegated powers, leaving others to the state governments or to the people.

For his part, Stark was faced with a pretty hostile crowd and does a poor job defending his position.

Of course, this was the same member of Congress who caught flack for telling a constituent at a previous town hall meeting that he wouldn't even bother to urinate on them, (yes, really), so maybe he was just trying to be low key.  Regardless, his statements underscore just how far beyond recognition liberals have misconstrued and perverted our Constitution.

Imagine this... only three weeks after his ObamaCare vote.

In case you haven't heard, Michigan Representative Bart Stupak, the "pro-life" Democrat who initially led a group of similar Democrats in opposition to ObamaCare on the grounds that it would fund abortion - and who ultimately capitulated to Obama and Pelosi in order to pass the bill - has decided not to run for re-election this year.  He wants to "spend more time with his family".

Via CBS:

Had Stupak sought re-election, he would have faced challengers from both the left and the right backed by interest groups angered by Stupak's health care vote.

Stupak negotiated with Democratic leaders down to the eleventh hour for stricter abortion language in the health care bill, but he ultimately voted for it after President Obama agreed to sign an executive order assuring the new laws will keep taxpayer dollars from funding abortions. ...

On the left, the abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America has been working to defeat Stupak and instead elect his Democratic primary challenger Connie Saltonstall.  read more »

As we get down to the wire, the list of swing votes in the upcoming House vote on the ObamaCare legislation is coming more into focus. The list below identifies the potential "swing vote" Democrats, their most recent public position, as well as how they voted on the first "House" version of the bill last November.

All Republican members have stated that they will vote against the bill. If you are represented by them, contact them and thank them.

If you are represented by one that is listed as a "no", call and thank them and offer them encouragement to stand strong - as they are having their arms twisted relentlessly by Obama, Pelosi and Democrat leadership.

If you are represented by a someone listed as a "yes" or "undecided", call and let them know that you are opposed to the bill. Let them know that you are a registered voter in their district and that you demand that they vote "NO" on ObamaCare.

If your representative is not on this list, click here to send them a message, (you can even use this link to contact all members of Congress at once).  read more »

Forgiving does not mean to hold up somebody who has shown poor judgment and offer excuses for their poor judgment to positions were they will use their judgment. It is possible for people to learn from their mistakes and learn - It is also possible for people not to learn and continue to make them.

It is possible for pro-choice advocates to change; And, that is a great thing; But, Barbara Boxer has not changed. Boxer voted to block Stupak amendment, and against other amendments from representatives of the people, that stop tax payer funding of abortion. If life were on a scale (it is not) between two evils - her position would be to the extreme on the right to kill side. Forgiving does not mean allowing somebody to continue to kill.

The Congress are voted on by the people to represent the people - Boxer does not even know who the people are!  read more »

Informative article on the Coalition's call to action

The Obamacon's refuse to admit Islamic terrorist have engaged us, flight 253 seems to be an isolated indecent, of course! What other explanation would there be for a blithering idiot to ignite his trousers aflame on a plane carrying close to 300 innocent lives? Well, President Obama and you liberal rainbow chasers, let me fill you in. Islamic terrorist want America eradicated, they want your emotionally enlightened liberal hearts on a stick, with mine right next to it. Islamic terrorist want my children to die, they would cherish nothing more than to fill the statue of liberty with the burned up body's of our dead, doctors, teachers, scientist, volunteer fire men, drug addicts, and musicians... Getting it? ( Oh except maybe their court appointed lawyers)

The vermin who exterminated 13 of his fellow comrades at Fort hood, another isolated indecent? The fact that he had been communicating with other anti-American radicals leads me to believe that this particular slug is a small part of an enormously and obviously large movement that would have had enjoyed if he were to murder many more than 13. Yet our President and the liberal virus are frantically running interference and spewing denial, holding on to the hope that we are as stupid and naive as we were when we let them take over.  read more »

When the Ball Drops...On Us Obamacon's enslave America

"Right now we have a severe unemployment situation, if a political party designed a bill that eliminated 90% of joblessness, would you want them to pass it? If you say well no! It's too good to be true, I want to know how they did it. Why aren't you demanding this of the Obama care bill?"

On Christmas Eve, the snowball with which an avalanche will be formed, will be let loose. The health care bill will be signed, you and I are willing accomplices, because we had not exhausted every imaginable option to derail this fundamental departure from liberty, we are to blame. From the hash brownie eating idealist to the blue collar cog and all those in between, we failed. Millions of hapless ignorant souls have no comprehension of the poison these rats have just fed us, we, the ones that do, shame shame.

In France disgruntled workers are kidnapping their bosses because they were sold a bill of goods, they are burning cars and rioting. This because they were merely promised a utopian existence in which the government would enable them from cradle to grave; an existence where healthcare, education, employment, good will, spiritual guidance and love were to be provided by wealthy state officials and their sound digressions.  read more »

Keep your eye on Tiger, because they are stealing are nation..

I am thoroughly exhausted, and at wits end, some one tell me this is a joke. Have you had the misfortune to understand just what stands between us and a radical new Marxist regime? A government that is free to tax us into slavery, defile our God, murder millions of innocent lives at the tax payer expense, euthanize our elderly, forfeit our monetary resources to third world countries, and teach our children that gay debauchery is as natural as witchcraft and mother Earth? John Baner, Michael Steele, John McCain, Newt Gingrich? Sorry, but none of these career politicians have me feeling warm and fuzzy inside, right from their suit and ties down to their typified Washington speak. I mad as heck! I am frustrated as heck! I want some one representing us who can cut through the PC jargon and convey the fact that we are tired of the lies, we are not stupid, and we've had enough!

CLATSKANIE - Christians are beginning to wake up to how to improve America by returning Congress and the Presidency to their Biblical roots. The following letter was recently printed in Christian News Nortwest.

America was discovered, declared independent, and constituted as a Christian nation. This fact is recorded at the end of the US Constitution in Article 7 which says, "Done in convention by the unanimous consent of the states present the seventeenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven and of the independence of the United States of America the twelfth." The citation of independence includes the Declaration of Independence in the Constitution as established law which is a legal opinion by lawyer Anne Coulter. By the same legal mechanism, the citation of the year of our Lord includes the Bible as established law by reference.  read more »

Amerika: A liberal Molestation

Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war. --General George S. Patton

In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in
the world. President Barack H. Obama

There once was a time, when a man knew his place, he was to work hard for his family, protect his wife and children with his life, if that meant he would have to trade in his mortality, done. The woman knew her place as well, she was to nurture her children, and make the home a place where a man could rest after dealing with the cruel cynical world and know that no matter how daunting it could be, he was loved. Of course there was more to it than that, but the structure was simple and defined. Families trusted in the lord above, as our founders did, and they overcame.

In 1775 a movement of spirited men decided they would no longer simply exist under the oppressive thumb of a tyrant or a corrupt overbearing government and they revolted, this was the revolutionary war. Under the care of a God, and guided by the words of the Holy Bible, these men would go on to create a country that was second to none, America. Our founders were not inspired by Allah, Buddha, or some humanistic higher power, they were moved by the Lord, Jesus Christ. This young Nation was guided by Christianity and its children built a republic inspired by the belief that the Ten Commandments made sense.  read more »
