   Excellent.
   Small victory, but anything that helps put some backbone back into representatives being trashed daily by this administration and congress is a victory indeed.

   Good news if they really get that chart and the proper descriptive language out to the public …

   Reaction from the Libs is typical pattern of obstucting Freedom of Speech to all that disagree with their viewpoint and then denying they did so when they get caught and exposed …

   Keep up the great work Michelle …

   Every little thing they get away with emboldens them. Every time they are called on it, they lose some of that arrogance. Keep at them! Maybe our “representatives in Congress just needed a swift kick to get them jump-started. And maybe having the support of the people who are out there making our voices heard is helping them get their courage back. One can hope!! At any rate, every time the left is forced to step back, it advertises how much they are trashing our Constitution. They must not be allowed to stifle free speech!!

    House Orders Up Three Elite Jets
    By Paul Singer
    Roll Call Staff
    Aug. 5, 2009, 12 a.m.

    Last year, lawmakers excoriated the CEOs of the Big Three automakers for traveling to Washington, D.C., by private jet to attend a hearing about a possible bailout of their companies.

    But apparently Congress is not philosophically averse to private air travel: At the end of July, the House approved nearly $200 million for the Air Force to buy three elite Gulfstream jets for ferrying top government officials and Members of Congress.

    In the midst of his situation, Rep. Carter says more than 20 fellow Republicans have made it known to his office that Democrats through the Franking Commission have tried to block language they feel is improper to use in the free communication.

    Improper? In other words, if Repubs tell the truth about Dem plans, it’s not allowed! I would like to see the House Repubs file a lawsuit against the Dems on the Franking Commission.

    It looks just like what a Obamanaught Bureaucracy would be like. Reading the bill you only have to connect the dots. As for grade school board game, that is exactly what this so called Health Bill is – you nailed it. By the way a question:
    BARACK OBAMA: “But something stirred across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama… because some folks were willing to march across a bridge… so they got together and Barack Obama, Jr., was born….”
    “Wait, didn’t that march happen in 1965? Obama was born in 1961. “
    How is this possible there lgm, can you answer this?

    That does not explain why they issued the gag order in the first place. The fact that you could careless about information being hidden from the public is very telling … transparency is what Liberals say when they mean the exact opposite.

    stillontheroad: Same way Hillary’s parents were inspired to name their daughter because of Sir Edmund Hillary’s ascent of Mt Everest in 1953. From her birth (in 1947) the family had just referred to her as “Hey, you!”

    FINALLY something inspiring happened and they were able to name her.

    That is precisely the point. That’s what the Dems want our healthcare to be like: lots of game spaces that say

    “Miss your next 3 turns due to waiting in line”,

    “Treatment NOT approved – Go Directly to Cemetery”,

    “Paperwork Wrong – Go back to Start”,

    “Appointment Unavailable – Go Back 10 Spaces”,…

    Glenn Beck was just talking about those new jets this a.m. He first warned the audience that if they are prone to heart trouble or high blood pressure, they should not listen to it. Yes, just when you think the hypocrisy on the left can’t get any worse…it does. Another fine example of arrogant misuse of power, and a “let them eat cake” attitude. I want these people tarred, feathered, run out of town, then arrested at the county line and thrown into prison. Nothing less will be justice.

    I have noticed that Obama slouches terribly! His posture is awful. He needs someone to hit him with a ruler and to tell him to sit up straight. Just look at how he slouches when he sits. Ugh. I know that isn’t his worst fault…but it is creepy to watch.

    to think that the all fair democrat majority would allow those republican scum to determine what mail they want to send to their constituents. lgm says this is childish scribblings, so he should be hopeful this will be very widely distributed to show just what morons those crazy conservatives are. just as the main stream press should be widely showing these mobs attacking our poor democrat congressidiots at town halls. the only image from these i have seen on any msm news cast was the doggett protest in austin where the chickens*** weenie ran out of the meeting and the crowd followed him to his car chanting no on healthcare. damn, i have never seen a group protesting and chanting no more war, or no justice, no peace in my entire life. you deserve to be chased and heckled if you won’t stand and meet with your constituents who have grievences, eh king of england!

    Glenn Beck covered something a bit on hidden things in the health care bill…on pages 880/881 there is a provision that says that the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall give preference to entities that demonstrate the following:

    Train underrepresented minority groups

    Graduates service in underserved areas

    support health care teaching programs of vunerable populations

    sounds like something ACORN might have written…in short Glenn describes this as Affirmative Action health care.
