Another Interesting Comment Worthy Of A Post

Here's whats next

Universal voter registration: Now being secretly prepared by at least two prominent members of Congress, this is essentially a scheme to legalize voter fraud by shifting responsibility for registering to vote from the citizen to the government, meaning people are automatically registered to vote, based on DMV records, income-tax returns, welfare rolls, unemployment lists and other government databases.

Illegal immigrant registration: Since government databases contain names of non-citizens, not to mention mentally incompetent individuals and felons – factors that would ordinarily disqualify a person from voting in most states – universal registration would open the floodgates to fraud. And since many people own property in more than one location and pay taxes to numerous government entities, they would be afforded the opportunity to vote in multiple locations.

Amnesty: Disguised once again by euphemisms like "comprehensive immigration reform," amnesty will create millions of new Democrat voters. As Obama adviser and SEIU executive vice president Eliseo Medina said recently regarding amnesty: "Can you imagine 8 million new voters who care about our issues and will be voting? We will be creating a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle."

Convicted felons voting: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late last year cleared the way for inmates to vote from prison. The court overturned a Washington state law prohibiting felons from voting until they are released and off parole, arguing state restrictions unfairly penalized minorities since they have a higher incarceration rate. Polls show felons overwhelmingly prefer Democrats.

Planting operatives in America's statehouses: A subversive, Soros-backed group called the Secretary of State Project is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation, from which posts they can help tilt the electoral playing field.

Health Care Bill Spurs Assassination Calls On Twitter

The Secret Service is investigating two Twitter users who, apparently angered by the passage of the health care reform bill, took to the Internet Sunday to call for the assassination of President Obama.

"ASSASSINATION! America, we survived the Assassinations and Lincoln & Kennedy. We'll surely get over a bullet to Barrack Obama's head," wrote one Twitter user, who goes by the handle Solly Forell, and identifies himself as a conservative blogger and "'authentic' African American."

Soon after the first post, Forell tweeted another message actively encouraging someone with a "clear shot" to kill the president.

Harris Calls Health Bill “Perilous,” Will Work To Repeal

ANNAPOLIS — State Senator Andy Harris, M.D. released the following statement regarding the health care legislation that was voted on by the U.S. House of Representatives last night:

"The Democrat controlled Congress has taken our country in a perilous direction. With last night's health care vote, a signal was sent to the American people that their voice does not matter and that the tax and spend, big government policies of Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama trump the will of the people. If Nancy Pelosi was not elected Speaker of the House by the Democrats, than this so called reform would not have seen the light of day.

As a physician, I am troubled that our elected representatives would vote to turn back the clock on the health care advances we've made over the past 30 years. When elected, I will vote to repeal this legislation so that we can begin work on true health care reform."

Fernando Guerrero Coverage: 2 Years Ago

You've no doubt heard the old saying "what a difference a year makes". In this case we're about two years out from when this clip was shot by WBOC. The video documented the day tickets went on sale for the Tyrone Watson match, which was shown nationally by Showtime on their ShoBox series. The clip captures Fernando Guerrero's manager, and all around nice guy, Hal Chernoff on the eve of the biggest boxing match in Salisbury, Maryland history. He appears cautiously optimistic as he tells reporter Kevin Leahy, "there's two things have to happen" for Guerrero to fight in Salisbury after that match. The two conditions were Fernando Guerrero had to perform well and the area had to show up and support him. Boy, did both of those things happen! Since that initial Salisbury match Guerrero has fought seven times with three of those taking place right here in Salisbury. His next match will take place Friday, April 16th at the Wicomico Civic Center against Michael "Midnight Stalker" Walker.

Hope to see you there!

Obama To Sign Health Bill, Take It On The Road

McCain says "we're going to repeal this" as GOP plans next steps

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is preparing to sign a transformative health care bill ushering in near-universal medical coverage for the first time in the nation's history — and then hit the road to sell it to a reluctant public.

Obama will travel to Iowa City, Iowa on Thursday, the White House said, as he now turns to seeing a companion bill through the Senate and selling the health care overhaul's benefits on behalf of House members who cast risky votes.

Obama is expected to sign the bill Tuesday at the White House, spokesman Robert Gibbs said Monday. A South Lawn ceremony is planned. Obama is inviting all lawmakers who supported the bill and other Americans whose stories represent the need for reformed health care, Gibbs said.

Jim Rutledge Responds To passage Of Government Controlled Health Care

FORREST Hill, Maryland- Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Jim Rutledge believes Americans received the heavy hand of government last night disguised as a helping hand. Barbara Mikulski and the Liberal Democrats continued their efforts to diminish the Constitution by establishing a government controlled health care system. In response to the passage of a national health care system Jim Rutledge said, “Americans are now committed to suffer the financial consequences of another arrogant decision made for the people not by the people.”

Congress failed to listen to the American people in an attempt to further a liberal agenda and create another Washington bureaucracy. The cost of national health care will ultimately lead to tax increases for all Americans. Some have already predicted that a national sales tax may be required to pay for government controlled health care. The Rutledge for Senate Campaign believes the privilege to receive government health care should not come at the expense of the Constitution. The act of taking money from one group or sector of society to give to another is not the action of a democracy. Barbara Mikulski and Barack Obama have worked together to force Marylanders to pay for a government controlled health care system.

The need to gain a political victory by the Liberal Democrats has come at a great cost to the American people at time when Americans are just trying to survive: Small businesses must now face the cost of another government mandate while trying to keep their doors open. The sanctity of life is now in question under the wording of this newly passed legislation. Families will now have to face tougher financial choices.

Jim Rutledge believes Barbara Mikulski should be held accountable for supporting more programs that increase the financial burden of Maryland taxpayers. The Rutledge for Senate Campaign will continue to fight for fiscal responsibility in Washington and working to defend the Constitution.

A "Moment In History:" Local Dems React To Health Care Passage

Most local Democrats disagree with the opposition about the effects of health care reform. In fact, they say the bill will close gaps that citizens pay for every day.

"It's exciting. I think people realize the moment in history and the opportunity," said Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.).

According to its own figures, the District pays $50 million a year for a program supplementing health care for people who don’t qualify for Medicaid, but can’t afford health care insurance. That cost will go away under this bill. Instead, the District's 134,000 uninsured families will receive tax credits to help them pay for insurance.

Congressman Kratovil Opposed Motion To Cancel Health Bill Vote

While Congressman Kratovil voted No on the Senate Health Care Bill and NO on Reconciliation, he flipped when he opposed the Motion to Recommit. However, if he was totally against the Senate bill, he would have supported the Motion to Recommit.

Sadly and expectedly Kratovil voted with 232 Democrats in voting No. The vote to Recommit: 199-232. That certain illustrates where Kratovil's support lies.

The Motion to Recommit would have negated the prior Health Care vote and sent this disasterous bill back for further study. Kratovil opposed this motion and voted the party line.

Reconciliation vote: 220-211

Deer Flies Into School Bus In Morning Crash

Location: Cokesbury Road, south of Route 404, Seaford, Delaware, Sussex County

Date and Time: Monday, March 22, 2010, at approximately 8:00 a.m.

Vehicle: International School Bus, owned by Macklin Bus Service, transporting for Sussex Tech High School, operated by a 76-year-old Seaford man

Resume: Shortly after 8:00 a.m. this morning, Troopers were called to the area of Cokesbury Road, just south of Route 404 for a bus vs. deer crash.

This investigation revealed the bus was traveling northbound on Cokesbury Road when a deer crossed its path from the west side of the roadway. The bus struck the deer at which time the animal was projected up and through the front windshield. The deer ended up approximately five seats back in the center isle where it died.

The bus was transporting eleven (11) students. Two students, both girls, were transported from the scene to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital for minor injuries. The nine (9) remaining students were released to their parents.

The driver, who did not wish his name released, was not injured.

Senior Cpl. Jeff Whitmarsh said, "This was certainly a very dangerous and disturbing incident for anyone to have to watch, let alone school children. We are just very luckly no one was more seriousely hurt."

This Will Not Stand: Newt On The Passage Of Obamacare

This will not stand.

No one should be confused about the outcome of Sunday's vote

This is not the end of the fight it is the beginning of the fight.

The American people spoke decisively against a big government, high tax, Washington knows best, pro trial lawyer centralized bureaucratic health system.

In every recent poll the vast majority of Americans opposed this monstrosity

Speaker Pelosi knew the country was against the bill. That is why she kept her members trapped in Washington and forced a vote on Sunday.

She knew if she let the members go home their constituents would convince them to vote no.

The Obama-Pelosi-Reid machine combined the radicalism of Alinsky, the corruption of Springfield and the machine power politics of Chicago.

Sunday was a pressured, bought, intimidated vote worthy of Hugo Chavez but unworthy of the United States of America.

It is hard to imagine how much pressure they brought to bear on congressman Stupak to get him to accept a cynical, phony clearly illegal and unconstitutional executive order on abortion. The ruthlessness and inhumanity of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid machine was most clearly on display in their public humiliation of Stupak.

The real principles of the machine were articulated by Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings who was impeached and removed from the bench as a federal judge, before being elected to the House when he said ""There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make 'em up as we go along."

It is hard for the American people to believe their leaders on the left are this bad.
They are.

The American people will not allow a corrupt machine to dictate their future.

Together we will pledge to repeal this bill and start over

Together we will prove that this will not stand

2010 and 2012 will be among the most important elections in American history

These elections will allow us to save America from a leftwing machine of unparalleled corruption arrogance and cynicism.

AFP-Maryland Praises Reps. Kratovil, Bartlett For Health Care Vote

-Bi-partisan opposition, public disgust not enough to stop Government take over-

ANNAPOLIS – Americans for Prosperity-Maryland State Director Dave Schwartz issued the following statement after the U.S. House passed the health care takeover bill:

“Today we have seen a critical setback for freedom in our country. AFP-Maryland would like to recognize and thank Reps. Frank Kratovil and Roscoe Bartlett for their vote against this disastrous bill. We appreciate the stand the Congressmen took under tremendous pressure.

The fight over this health care takeover has been long and brutal. But something hopeful has emerged: millions of active, passionate Americans who are aware of the many threats to our freedoms and who are willing to fight.

To the rest of the Congressional delegation: This fight is not over. Today we lost in Congress, but we won with the American people. AFP-Maryland, and our nearly 10,000 activists around the state, will be working feverishly to educate citizens on your vote for a government takeover of our health care.”

WICO CHANGES ITS WEEKDAY MORNING PROGRAMMING ONCE AGAIN!

A year or two ago, WICO went to an early morning lineup that was mostly syndicated,with Michael Smerconish, a Philadelphia phenomenon, as the host. Today his program is gone from the AM station and a new syndicated program, mostly national news and topics, is the mainstay from breakfast to morning drive-time. Following the 9AM news its the lovely Laura Ingraham, as before.

The early morning segment with local discussion and guests has been shrunk even further, to about 12 minutes or so, not including ads. It seems that the local mainstream media has opted to mimic the big boys from across the Chesapeake Bay and C&D Canal. Local news and views are becoming increasingly hard to come by these days, what with the Daily Times almost deceased and the TV stations on the decline in local content – this blog tries to fill the huge gap.

A Comment Worthy Of A Post

On March 21, 2010 the House of Representatives voted to plunge our health care system into a quasi-socialist mess that will lead to universal, single-payer coverage within 15 years. It is a truism of economics that when something becomes free, it shall inevitably lose value. Our best hospitals will soon be flooded with millions of new Medicaid patients who will pay nothing for care, while the number of doctors will decrease because the profession will no longer be overly lucrative. Since many of these new patients don't work for a living, it will be quite easy for them to schedule doctor's appointments every time they have a sore throat or a hangnail. Sadly, our health system will go into steady decline just like our public school system did when the government raised trillions of dollars in new taxes and guaranteed free educations to that segment of our society that doesn't pay any taxes.

Like you, I am frustrated and saddened by this development. I'm counting the days until November when our voices will finally be heard. But in a larger sense, we have seen in the past that elections don't really matter all that much. The government is a self-perpetuating entity that will constantly vote itself more power, regardless of which party is in charge. As a case in point, look at Medicare Part D that George Bush gave us not so long ago.

One reason I am writing this memo (aside from the cathartic and therapeutic value) is to remind all of you that the free market will always win out in the end. The education system of America is clear proof of this fact and serves as a guidepost for where we must all go in the next 15 years. When the public schools became war zones where no one learns anything valuable, private and religious schools exploded in capacity to fill the void for the segment of society who had the extra money to pay tuition. The same thing is going to happen with our health care system. A parallel system will emerge because the best doctors in the world are NOT going to participate in a socialist system where Medicaid only pays them $8 to see an illegal immigrant with the sniffles. Rather, these talented doctors will set up private clinics where people with extra money in the bank can get the best care in the world quickly, not after an eight-month wait. The public hospitals will serve the citizens who have no money, and therefore will erode into a state of inefficiency and complacence. This always happens when a monopoly exists.

So where do we as productive and energetic citizens go from here? It is actually quite simple. We must do the same things that have always driven liberals absolutely nuts. Take ownership of your situation. Smile. Live well. Prosper. Build a stash of money. Do what you have to do to make enough cash so that if you get sick, you will have the disposable income necessary to pay the bill at a boutique hospital or clinic where the best doctors have set up shop. If you are not happy with your current income level, get an advanced degree so that you can move yourself to a much higher salary. Don't sit around expecting the government to help you or to do the right thing. We have seen in the past that they only care about the unproductive people in society. People like us are the forgotten fools who pay the bills, then get shafted in the end.

My message to you is that even though you currently feel helpless, you are still 100% in control of your destiny. You can only become a slave to the government if you allow yourself to become dependent and compliant. Voting in November and donating to Tea Party movements can be somewhat helpful, but ultimately they won't get you very far. I hope you will take positive steps to become the kind of well-off person who can easily opt out of the socialist health care system. Otherwise, you run the risk of dying on a waiting list like our friends in Canada and England so often do. Let the Obama voters enjoy that type of health care system. We will be elsewhere.

NOW GET TO WORK.

Abortion Deal Earns Ire Of Critics On Both Sides

Republican says leader of Dems’ anti-abortion bloc is a ‘baby killer’

WASHINGTON - A last-minute compromise that swung a half-dozen anti-abortion Democrats behind President Barack Obama's health care bill — virtually ensuring its passage — failed to placate outside activists on either side of the issue, and drew derision from Republicans.

Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., leader of the anti-abortion bloc, said he was satisfied with an executive order issued by Obama affirming prohibitions in current law and in the health legislation against taxpayer money going to abortions.

"Make no doubt about it. There will be no public funds for abortion," Stupak said in announcing the agreement Sunday ahead of the vote on the landmark health care bill.
