Still deciding over Grimm and McMahon?

Grimm vs McMahon. The Choice is clear!

As we rapidly approach the midterm elections, what should be clear by now is the stark differences between Republican Michael Grimm and the Democrat Michael McMahon, both vying for the seat covering NY’s 13th district.

On all fronts, including character, Grimm has consistently risen above the classless tactics and failed policy decisions of the incumbent, Michael McMahon.

Dirty Tricks

Mike McMahon is all tricks and no treat

Click here for a rundown on the lowdown

On the Issues

  • WhenMcMahon was a New York City council member he voted to raise property taxes 18.5%, the largest in the city’s history
  • He supported a congestion pricing scheme that would have levied an additional toll on all vehicles traveling to Manhattan below 96th St.
  • McMahon voted with Nancy Pelosi to stop a middle class tax cut.

Any wonder why McMahon is dubbed Tax Hike Mike ?

McMahon voted against Obamacare but gave a wink and nod to Pelosi’s shenanigans over the “Deem and Pass” maneuver intended to ram the bill down the throats of the American people.

Grimm is calling to repeal Obamacare while McMahon is not.

Still undecided if you should vote for Grimm or McMahon?

The choice is clear if you are concerned about the economy, healthcare, jobs and installing a trustworthy representative in Congress.

On July 29 the bill was voted down via ugly partisan posturing, which included a hissy fit by Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner:

Is Barack Obama Anti-American?



Why aren't you angry?

Do you still believe the differences are simply about Democrats vs. Republicans? Wake up! Barack Obama transcends partisan politics. He is not simply a Democratic president, he is possibly, no not possibly, with out a doubt he is a radical, anti-American president hiding within the Democratic Party.

Did I lose you yet? Too hysterical? Toughen up, people, and look at what is going on. Do not listen to me; listen to the POTUS and those he surrounds himself with.

Patriotic Democrats should be pissed off more than anyone; it is that Party that was successfully hijacked by the radicals. Patriotic Democrats, stop defending this man. There is absolutely zero justification for the crap he is pulling.

Walk with me:

First: Healthcare

In this rich industrialized nation where billions of dollars are sent overseas, every American should receive healthcare. Call it a right, call it morally just, however the hell you label it, it should be done. Obamacare exploits the void.

Barack Obama is using those not insured, some of them my loved ones, as an excuse to ram this Marxist behemoth bill down our throats. Obamacare will harm Americans, not help them.

Why is he doing this? The devil is in the details. Harm the economy, redistribute wealth, acquire more governmental power, healthcare be damned it is simply the vehicle. Obama is counting on the gullible and emotional side of you to buy into his plan and then allow him to rebuild our nation... in his image.

The first casualties are our (a) soldiers, (b) women, and (c) elderly.

(a) Barack Obama restored the end of life manual for soldiers returning emotionally and physically scarred from war. Former President Bush eliminated this morally bankrupt manual, Obama resuscitated it.

The manual is billed to provide choices for our defenders of Freedom; hogwash, the manual was provided by an organization promoting euthanasia. Why? Because it is cheaper to kill the wounded than to treat them.

(b) No sooner than Obamacare passed the House by five freakin' votes a U.S. government panel commissioned to research quality healthcare recommended that women delay getting regular mammograms until age 50. This is in opposition of the American Cancer Society.

Not only does the federal panel desire to stop providing preventative screening for breast cancer they urge women to STOP performing SELF breast exams at home.

It doesn't stop at breast cancer screenings, it continues with screenings for cervical cancer!

On the heels of the federal panel, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist (ACOG) says women in their 20s can have a pap smear every two years, instead of annually.

I will spare you my own heartbreaking stories regarding the women I love because I am sure you have your own stories and can recognize the DANGERS here.

Why is this happening? Because it is cheaper to diagnose the cancer in the later stages and euthanize the victims as opposed to treat the cancer with expensive surgery and chemo.

(c) Obamacare will cut millions in Medicare, eliminate Medicare Advantage and reduce reimbursements to physicians, which will cause rationing. Obama openly questioned the value of the hip replacement surgery his own terminally ill grandmother received.

Obama's alternative care for the elderly is a PC effort to treat our grandparents like Old Yeller. It is not hysteria when it is said people will die because of Obamacare.

Folks, stop allowing Obama to exploit those less fortunate than us. Reject this anti-American healthcare bill and demand ADEQUATE healthcare reform. The Republicans were too weak to get it done, that doesn't mean we must settle for crap.

Additionally, if you choose not to insure yourself, you will be criminally penalized. For the first time in American history, you will be FORCED to buy a federally promoted product. We are one goosestep closer to losing our Freedoms.

Second: Terror trials in NYC

Obama's decision to bring 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) who was captured ON THE BATTLEFIELD, to trial in NYC is simply a way to put us (America) on trial. It also gives a terrorist that wishes to destroy us a platform to spew his anti-American hate.

The Obamas and Wrights must be giddy that they are able to pull this off. Shameful! And shameful if the American people are still blind to Obama's antics.

Obama is breaking Patriotic & legal precedent to afford KSM with our Constitutional protection. Obama is doing so in the shadows of the WTC because Ground Zero is hallowed ground and this is how Obama can get away with spitting on it.

Just like Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones, William Ayers and so many of his surroundings, Obama must have bought into the notion that we are to blame for 9/11 and that the terrorists were justified.

KSM proclaimed his guilt and was willing to accept his fate (death penalty) at a military tribunal. Obama rejected that and desires a circus in Manhattan. Why is Obama risking life in prison or worse acquittal for KSM? The answer is obvious; Obama's choice is the Wright choice!

Folks, this is an American problem. While the latest terrorist was gunning down women & children at Fort Hood he wasn‘t asking how we voted, he was screaming “Allah Akubar.”

These are the people (terrorists) your president is urging us to use restraint for, while not passing judgment. This is the same president and administration that simply called Nidal Malik Hasan a “gunman” but easily labeled YOU “extremist” for complaining about radical policies.

Are you going to allow your ideology or blind partisanship to trump your Patriotism and/or common sense?

Americans unite! There is an enemy within our midst and he cares not that you are Republican or Democrat only that you allow him to "fundamentally transform the United States of America."

Healthcare Roll Call Vote Including Joseph Cao's Only Republican Vote

FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 887
(Democrats in roman; Republicans in italic; Independents underlined)

Click here for results

One Republican voted with the Party that is destroying our republic. Congressman Ahn "Joseph" Cao (RINO-LA) was heavily recruited by Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama, Cao sold his soul and voted with the Democrats. Final roll call vote is 220-215.

Cao cites the Stupak amendment to extend the ban on federal abortion subsidies as the clincher. Click here for the Stupak 240-194 roll call vote. Cao pathetically rolled over for the Obama administration and will now try and justify that by claiming a principled alignment with the GOP's stance against tax payer funded abortion.

Don't be fooled, Congressman Cao allowed his political weakness to trump his Patriotism and better sense.

From Malkin's site:

Cao backed the S-CHIP expansion, the $108 billion IMF bailout, and the omni-waste spending bill. And he voted to rebuke GOP Rep. Joe Wilson for calling out President Obama on his health care lies.

Cao reveals the cheap price he received for his soul: a commitment from President Obama that he would work together to address the health care issues of Louisiana, including the FMAP crisis and community disaster loan forgiveness, as well as issues related to Charity and Methodist Hospitals. [end]

Can you imagine anyone believing in a "commitment" from This president? Only the willfully ignorant can feed on such grain.

Charles Rangel and Nancy Pelosi do not have the integrity or competence to successfully manage a grocery store trip... and yet they are trusted with the keys to the entire supermarket chain.

This health care take over accounts for about one-sixth of the entire economy, more than any other industry... That ladies and gentlemen is the reason why they (Obama admin) rammed it down America's throat, those that convincingly control the purse strings control the dole. We are goose-stepping closer and closer to socialism, welcome to an Obamanation.

Conservative vs Liberal

elephantFlag

(H/T Phil) Author unknown

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.

If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.

If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.

A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.

If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a person of color is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.

Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.

A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.

Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.

A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.

A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.

If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.

If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.

A liberal will delete it because he's "offended"...

A Time For Choosing

"History is usually interesting, but always relevant."- American Angle

Ronald Reagan was (is) a true leader, one that understood that it must always be country first. Friends, Patriotism is not fleeting it is not a convenience that only evokes pride when someone's husband is voted for.

Patriotism is not a mere symbol to be removed from ones chest because you don't like the war. True Patriotism is a constant never wavering support of your nation, an understanding that her symbols are never to be protested, but protected at all costs.

Our Republic is in dire need for all of her Patriots to stand up. Remember folks, titles do not make the Patriot; duty does.

You & I (not the government) with the knowledge that dissent, discourse, and the honor of duty are hallmarks of Freedom and the maintenance of the same can & will provide true hope & change.

It is up to us to ensure that America remains the “shining city upon a hill.”
