"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.." - Winston Churchill
UPDATE: Above is an image of the gentleman who, in his ardent support of his beloved Senator Reid, threatened to behave in a way which would land him in jail if Andrew Breitbart was not removed from the area.
The biased writers at the Associated Press said the tea party in Nevada would draw angry protesters today.
They were right.
Supporters of Democratic Senator Harry Reid attacked the Tea Party Express bus today in Nevada. This statement was just released:
Supporters of Senator Harry Reid have just thrown eggs at the Tea Party Express bus caravan – striking at least one of the three buses (the red Tea Party Express bus) with multiple eggs.
About 35 Reid supporters had lined Highway 95 in front of the Nugget Casino in Searchlight where they were attempting a counter-demonstration the tens of thousands of tea party supporters who are gathering for the “Showdown in Searchlight.”

Do you suppose the state-run media will be as outraged about this as they were about the bogus hate crimes or coffingate story? Don’t count on it.
Ed Schultz is an angry rude liberal who personally attacks anyone who disagrees with his and who has really low ratings. No one listens to liberal talk radio because liberals are dishonest, irrational and crazy. .
The highest rated talk radio shows ALL belong to conservatives. It isn't because MOST Americans want to sit around and listen to attacks and lies all day. That's exactly why LIBERAL radio has FAILED, and why CNN and NBC have super low ratings. People want the truth which is why conservative radio is popular and FOX News is CRUSHING the opposition.
MILLIONS listen to Hannity, Savage, Rush, Levin, Wilkow, Ingram, Crowley, Beck, Church, Cunningham and other conservative radio and cable programs because they have credibility. They're talking about what's really going on and until the mainstream media changes and stops hiding and distorting news and viciously attacking their opposition, talk radio by conservatives will always rule. We are still a 'center-right' nation.
Obama will try to backdoor the fairness doctrine with his diversity czar (what a joke) Mark Lloyd. He will even try things like amnesty, cap and trade and appointing more radical judges, even though MOST Americans are against it. It's because Barack Obama is NO different than Hugo Chavez and until people like Ed Schultz understand that, the American people won't listen or watch his show.
Americans don't want a Marxist dictator like Obama running their country. Maybe people like Ed Shultz and the few Obama supporters who are left would have known this already IF they had actually listened to CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO when they warned people of Obama over two years ago! Obama is doing NOW what conservatives said he would do two years ago! Liberals just attack the messenger. How dumb is that?
'The mind of a liberal.'
Mark Levin has a message for Ed Schultz- Video below.
Big Labor played such an essential role in delivering the White House to President Obama that the head of the influential government workers union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, told The Washington Times after the election that the union was expecting "payback."
Payback's name is H. Craig Becker.
That's who President Obama nominated for a seat overseeing federal labor laws on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Mr. Becker's record as a top lawyer for both the Service Employees International Union and the AFL-CIO is so troubling that even Democrats such as Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Louisiana and Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska thought someone else should be found for the job. Though the Senate has consistently refused to confirm Mr. Becker, the president has no intention of abandoning Big Labor's champion.
Mark Mix of the National Right to Work organization reports that in 2007 alone, Mr. Becker's lawyering forced 63,000 California workers to pay union dues even after rejecting union membership. He allowed repeated "home visits" for union backers, designed to pressure workers to sign public union-organizing petitions. Unions were "formed to escape the evils of individualism and individual competition. ... Their actions necessarily involve coercion," Mr. Becker once explained. READ MORE...
FreedomWorks Brendan Steinhauser is demanding and apology from Rep. James Clyburn, one of a few members of the Congressional Black Caucus for accusing health care protesters of "aiding and abetting" "terrorism."
His item is part of a broader pushback today, which David Weigel writes about at some length, and in which Andrew Breitbart indulges with his usual moderation, against various charges against conservatives protesters.
It seems worth trying to untangle actual facts here.
It seems clear that most of the anger is on the right, that there are acts of vandalism being committed and physical threats being made. At the same time, the most damaging charge against the conservative grassroots -- of overt racism in the mob scene outside the Capitol -- lacks clear documentation to back it up. Media Matters latest contribution on the topic, for instance, relies on a photo from last February. READ MORE...
President Obama is a Marxist minded radical. He isn't shy about admitting it. Obama is a also compulsive lying con artist; just watch YouTube. So why are people STILL in denial? Obama is using the Cloward-Piven strategy to intentionally collapse the economy.
President Obama's fiscal 2011 budget will generate nearly $10 trillion in cumulative budget deficits over the next 10 years, $1.2 trillion more than the administration projected, and raise the federal debt to 90 percent of the nation's economic output by 2020, the Congressional Budget Office reported Thursday.
In its 2011 budget, which the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released Feb. 1, the administration projected a 10-year deficit total of $8.53 trillion. After looking it over, CBO said in its final analysis, released Thursday, that the president's budget would generate a combined $9.75 trillion in deficits over the next decade.
"An additional $1.2 trillion in debt dumped on [GDP] to our children makes a huge difference," said Brian Riedl, a budget analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation. "That represents an additional debt of $10,000 per household above and beyond the federal debt they are already carrying."
The federal public debt, which was $6.3 trillion ($56,000 per household) when Mr. Obama entered office amid an economic crisis, totals $8.2 trillion ($72,000 per household) today, and it's headed toward $20.3 trillion (more than $170,000 per household) in 2020, according to CBO's deficit estimates. READ MORE...
NOTE- While Republican Congresses added almost $800 billion in annual spending to the budget in six years — an indefensible expansion — that pales in comparison to the $1.1 trillion added by Democratic Congresses in just three years.
The federal public debt, which was $6.3 trillion ($56,000 per household) when Mr. Obama entered office amid an economic crisis, totals $8.2 trillion ($72,000 per household) today, and it’s headed toward $20.3 trillion (more than $170,000 per household) in 2020, according to CBO’s deficit estimates.
We could be looking at a collapse scenario where we can’t borrow enough to keep up with our interest payments by the time this decade concludes. READ MORE...
A local doctor says the new health care reform will force him to quit practicing.
Dr. Dave Janda tells Action News that he can't in good conscience deny people excellent medical care so he would be forced to stop seeing patients. He says "The focus in Obamacare is cutting costs by rationing and denying care, which I believe is the most inhumane and unethical means of cutting health care costs."
Dr. Janda is a highly acclaimed orthopedic surgeon specializing in repairing shoulders. He was featured on Oprah for a book he wrote on avoiding injuries, especially in children.
Dr. Janda says the health care reform legislation is based on rationing and denying care. Janda says, "When I'm told by a government entity, a government panel, these are the treatments you can do, this is when you can do them, this is, even, if you can do them, I believe, that by participating in a system like that, you actually cause harm, and you don't help people."
He says he will reconsider quitting if the legislation is changed So that politicians aren't deciding who gets what coverage.
She was honest for a little while, then she had to blame the Republicans for stopping a bill that MOST Americans HATE and a bill that Fidel Castro LOVES! Clara should start making her retirement plans.
Why do people vote democrat? If YOU do, please stop so we don't have to listen to dirtbags like 'ACORN' loving Clara McCaskill anymore. The Republicans are finally getting a spine; shit, give them SOME credit. It's better than what the democrats are doing!
This is a joke right? What a sissy media we have. Even 'wimpy' Elizabeth Hassleback of 'The View' sided with demented hippo-crit Joy Baher. The tape of 'The View' episode where they all attack Elizabeth is so pathetic, we're not even going to bother posting it. If it were a democrat using 'targets' that cow Joy Baher would be the first one to say, 'big deal' and defend the use. What a hideous, irrational, nasty, miserable woman Joy is...
Targets have always been used by BOTH parties to 'TARGET' (Duhhh) congressional districts for elections.
ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD THINK SARAH PALIN'S 'TARGETS' HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH VIOLENCE.
This MIGHT be a hint. Obama's pastor for over 20 years, Jerimiah Wright.
White and Jewish Obama supporters are 'dumb as shit.' How DUMB do they feel now? That's why we call them 'idiots.' Now get ready for some 'social justice!'
For a head of state to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of…
After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on Jewish settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisors and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman who spoke to the Prime Minister said today.
“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House phone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”…
Newspaper reports recounted how Mr Netanyahu looked “excessively concerned and upset” as he pulled out a flow chart to show Mr Obama how Jerusalem planning permission worked and how he could not have known of the announcement that hundreds more homes were to be built just as Mr Biden arrived in Jerusalem.

Obama's Neutrality towards Israel should surprise no one
Israel: One of Many [Victor Davis Hanson]
Some strong supporters of both Obama and Israel are disappointed in the latest hysterical Biden-Clinton-Obama smack-down over the settlement issue. But why, I don't know — this is a logical, not an aberrant, development from President Obama.
Once it was thought to be unprincipled guilt-by-association for pro-Israeli, anti-Obama groups to question candidate Obama’s dubious associations; after all, Reverend Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Samantha Power, et al. were all on record as hostile to the Jewish state. Few likewise seemed to take note when a key Obama campaign foreign policy advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, in September 2009 suggested that the U.S. might, and perhaps should, shoot down Israeli planes over Iraq on their way to Iran: e.g., “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a Liberty in reverse.” Then there was the nomination of Charles Freeman. And of course the present outreach to the two most terrorist-friendly regimes in the Middle East, theocratic Iran and authoritarian Syria. Someone from Mars might conclude that the United States has spent far more effort in courting Ahmadinejad and Assad than Netayanhau. READ MORE...
2010: A Race Odyssey — Disproving a Negative for Cash Prizes or, How the Civil Rights Movement Jumped the Shark
As I have said over and over and over, the left has one trick that it will use again and again when its back is in the corner: shout ‘racist’ in a crowded country.
On Saturday, during the peaceful and patriotic tea party protest at the Capitol, the Democrats staged a series of symbolic acts meant to manipulate the media to do its bidding. The Congressional Black Caucus pulled the Selma card and chose to walk through the crowd in the hopes of creating a YouTube incident. This is what it looked like: READ MORE...
RUSH- We're going to get to this totally contrived Republicans causing all kinds of threats to Democrats story. I'll tell you, it's a total diversion. The Democrats are so losing the information war on the health care bill that they're trying to do anything to distract everybody's attention from it, and it's as I said yesterday, this is all part of a plan to criminalize dissent. Let me just ask you a question. When is the last time you can recall a bunch of conservatives having a riot? When is the last time you can recall a bunch of conservatives disrupting a congressional hearing? When is the last time you can recall a bunch of conservatives coming out with books and movies on how to assassinate a president? The simple fact of the matter is that this kind of behavior that these people are running around scared to death of and accusing people of, they are the authors of this kind of behavior. These are the people that wrote the book on how to do this. Our side doesn't do this kind of stuff. This is all made up, 95% of it's made up and it's being done to divert everybody's attention.
Even Pelosi's getting in on the act now. She held a news conference today: "I don't want this to be a distraction." That's all she wants. That's exactly what they want. They are losing the information war on explaining the health care bill, news keeps coming out about it. The compilation of small businesses that are going to have to lay off workers, there's a company in Massachusetts, the largest manufacturer of defibrillators, heart defibrillators. Their business is wrecked, they say. They're going to add six to $10 million of expenses over the course of however many years. The reality is just now starting to hit people. I'll have more details on this as the program unfolds, such as this one. "Relief to seniors facing high prescription drug costs is one of the first changes to come under the new health care overhaul. But ultimately that won't offset the relentless increase in retirees' medical expenses. A couple retiring this year will need a quarter of a million dollars, on average, to cover medical expenses in retirement, according to a study to be released Thursday by Fidelity Investments.
"The estimate is up 4.2 percent from Fidelity's projection last year. The Boston-based financial services company has updated its estimate annually since 2002 as part of its business helping employers design workplace benefits programs. The study is based on projections for a couple of 65-year-olds retiring this year with Medicare coverage. The estimate factors in the federal program's premiums, co-payments and deductibles, as well as out-of-pocket prescription costs. The study assumes no employer provided insurance in retirement, and a life expectancy of 85 for women and 82 for men." Now, mind you, this is before all the supposed Medicare cuts that are built into Obama's health care reform bill. These Medicare cuts are upwards now of $600 billion. So this number can only go up. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm just repeating here what the State-Controlled Associated Press is saying. Retired couples may need $250,000 for health care expenses after they retire.

Republicans are not backing down in the face of Democrats' landmark health care victory this week. Instead, the moment has energized some members of the party, giving them a cause to rally around.
Massachusetts Republican defends his decision to vote across party lines.Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., who took office as the 41st vote against health care reform in the Senate, said today it's time to "collectively fix this bill" and that he's prepared to lead the charge to do just that.
"We're all in favor of the catastrophic care coverage and coverage for children," Brown told "Good Morning America." "But what about the backroom deals? What about all the bad things?"
Brown's victory in November to claim the late Ten Kennedy's Senate seat was seen by many Republicans as an indication of popular opposition to Democrats' health care reform effort and a call for more focus on the economy and jobs.
Brown says Democrats still haven't gotten the message, taking a shot at President Obama's emphasis on health care. READ MORE...
This man is trying to split the vote to ensure Harry Reid wins re-election in Nevada. We are calling this man out, who has never been involved in the tea party one iota, but started a bogus "Nevada Tea Party" so he could get on the ballot and ensure Reid's re-election. How pathetic..
'You Lie!' Obama conning old people, that's just wrong...
Congress passed the bill without knowing what was in it. Barack Obama signed it without reading it. Now it looks as though the Associated Press reported on ObamaCare without comprehending its content. Readers will have to scroll far down to discover that the elimination of a key tax break that kept retirees on company prescription-medication plans will mean dumping millions of seniors onto Medicare — and that the AP ignored it until now:
The health care overhaul will cost U.S. companies billions and make them more likely to drop prescription drug coverage for retirees because of a change in how the government subsidizes those benefits.
In the first two days after the law was signed, three major companies — Deere & Co., Caterpillar Inc. and Valero Energy — said they expect to take a total hit of $265 million to account for smaller tax deductions in the future.
With more than 3,500 companies now getting the tax break as an incentive to keep providing coverage, others are almost certain to announce similar cost increases in the weeks ahead as they sort out the impact of the change.
Figuring out what it will mean for retirees will take longer, but analysts said as many as 2 million could lose the prescription drug coverage provided by their former employers, leaving them to enroll in Medicare’s program. READ MORE...
HAVANA (AP) -- It perhaps was not the endorsement President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress were looking for.
Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform "a miracle" and a major victory for Obama's presidency, but couldn't help chide the United States for taking so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.
"We consider health reform to have been an important battle and a success of his (Obama's) government," Castro wrote in an essay published in state media, adding that it would strengthen the president's hand against lobbyists and "mercenaries."
But the Cuban leader also used the lengthy piece to criticize the American president for his lack of leadership on climate change and immigration reform, and for his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, among many other things.
And he said it was remarkable that the most powerful country on earth took more than two centuries from its founding to approve something as basic as health benefits for all.
"It is really incredible that 234 years after the Declaration of Independence ... the government of that country has approved medical attention for the majority of its citizens, something that Cuba was able to do half a century ago," Castro wrote.
The longtime Cuban leader -- who ceded power to his brother Raul in 2008 -- has continued to pronounce his thoughts on world issues though frequent essays, titled "Reflections," which are published in state newspapers.
Cuba provides free health care and education to all its citizens, and heavily subsidizes food, housing, utilities and transportation, policies that have earned it global praise. The government has warned that some of those benefits are no longer sustainable given Cuba's ever-struggling economy, though it has so far not made major changes.
In recent speeches, Raul Castro has singled out medicine as an area where the government needs to be spending less, but he has not elaborated.
While Fidel Castro was initially positive about Obama, his essays have become increasingly hostile in recent months as relations between Cuba and the United States have soured. Washington has been increasingly alarmed by Cuba's treatment of political dissidents -- one of whom died in February after a long hunger strike.
Cuba was irate over the island's inclusion earlier this year on a list of countries Washington considers to be state sponsors of terrorism. Tensions have also risen following the arrest in December of a U.S. government contractor that Havana accuses of spying.
In Thursday's essay, Castro called Obama a "fanatic believer in capitalist imperialism" but also praised him as "unquestionably intelligent."
"I hope that the stupid things he sometimes says about Cuba don't cloud over that intelligence," he said.
Runaway Debt: Watching Greece and now Portugal verge on financial default due to fiscal profligacy should send a chill up every American's spine. This is our fate, too, if we don't change course — and soon.
The failure of Western nations to control their spending has now become a crisis — not of any particular nation, but of all.
Portugal on Tuesday became only the latest of the so-called PIIGS — Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain — to be hit by speculation that it might soon fail. Greece is already technically in default on its debts, and has had to make humiliating requests for aid from the EU, U.S. and IMF.
In this environment, the euro sank and European stock markets took hits Wednesday after Fitch Ratings downgraded Portugal's long-term credit rating from AA to AA-, adding to the euro zone's fast-expanding list of economic woes.
European nations will soon find that no one wants to hold a Euro-bond. It's just too risky. Faced with its failure to handle the crisis, the EU has opted to ask the International Monetary Fund — the global lender of last resort for deadbeats — to come in and help.
Why is this happening? Simply, neither financial markets nor European citizens are convinced any longer that the EU can live by the very rules that made its common currency and economic policy existence possible. That rule, basically, is this: No EU nation can run a deficit of more than 3% of GDP annually, and none can exceed public debt of 60% of GDP annually.
The PIIGS are by far the worst when it comes to this critical measure of budget discipline. Portugal, for instance, has a deficit of 9.3% of GDP, and debt of over 80%. But it's not alone. No major nation in the EU meets the criteria for membership today. Investors don't want their bonds.
What's this got to do with the U.S.? Plenty. Right now, we wouldn't qualify for EU membership either. And just because our government refuses to address its own fiscal irresponsibility, doesn't mean the people aren't thinking about it.
In a newly released Fox News poll, 78% said they feared a U.S. financial collapse brought on by fiscal mismanagement. And by 3-to-1, respondents said the nation's exploding federal debt was a more serious problem than terrorism.
Yes, it's that serious.
Even before the $3 trillion ObamaCare plan was passed, the U.S. was trundling down the same road as Europe. We just liked to think we weren't, that somehow we were protected by providence or luck against such financial foolishness.
"I got this." Just throw on a suit, put on a charming smile, make some radical friends, study Marxism, get a short hair cut, become a community organizer, join a black liberation theology church, be articulate, then collapse the American economy and expand government so we can finally achieve 'social justice.' That's hope and change.' YouGotConned.Com
Dean Nelson says as far as he knows, there have never been as many black Republicans running for Congress as there are this year.
Asked why that’s the case, the vice chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, a conservative group of black people who promote smaller government, pointed to an unlikely inspiration for the Republicans: Democratic President Barack Obama.
“I think with his success, it has given a level of hope and expectation for African-American candidates, whether they’re Republican or Democrat that you know hey, this is something that can be done,” Nelson said in an interview with The Daily Caller.
Because many black conservatives share the same type of political experience Obama had at the state level before going to Washington, Nelson said, many are saying, “doggone it, I should throw my hat into the ring and I might be able to have success.”
Of the more than 30 black Republican congressional and senatorial candidates running for office this election cycle, the Frederick Douglass Foundation held a leadership summit for more than 15 of them this weekend. READ MORE...

You know the white liberals (All White MSNBC) in the mainstream media will ignore ALL of these candidates because they're black conservatives...
