GOP Senator Scott Brown Pro-Abortion
Scott Brown defends pro-abortion stance (OneNewsNow.com)
I just read this and was sickened by it. While it is very encouraging to see a GOP Senator in Massachusetts, I find it a tough pill to swallow when Republicans support abortion. I have always considered myself a fiscal moderate and socially conservative. According to his comments below, we are nearly opposites. I will be removing the link I have to his site immediately.

WASHINGTON - Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown of Massachusetts says he opposes federal funding for abortions, but thinks women should have the right to choose whether to have one.
Brown told ABC’s This Week that he disagrees with his party’s position that the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion should be overturned. The incoming lawmaker says the abortion question is one that’s best handled by a woman, her family and her doctor. He also says more effort needs to go into reducing the number of abortions in the U.S.
He also said the GOP shouldn’t take his vote for granted on every issue. He says he’s fiscally conservative but more moderate on social issues.

Suprise Vote Confirmed for Obama’s “Anti-Jesus”, “Pro-Allah” Judge.
|
URGENT PETITION! (Even if you’ve signed before, you can sign again & we’ll re-fax.) Please select, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition automatically to ALL 100 U.S. Surprise: Anti-Jesus Pro-Allah Judge David Hamilton Will Get Senate Vote Make the 17 phone calls listed below, today, to these key “undecided” Senators. On Thursday, Senator Harry Reid’s (D-NV) staff confirmed that Hamilton is “on the calendar” A VOTE IS POSSIBLE THE WEEK OF THE 9TH. So please auto-fax all 100 Senators to filibuster Hamilton. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) wrote a letter to all Republicans on 30 Oct, asking for help in opposing Hamilton, who the Seventh Circuit Court rebuked for repeatedly “abusing his discretion,” and for a speech Hamilton gave saying the judge’s primary job is ”write footnotes in the Constitution” for his own activist causes. To support Sessions and Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) who called for a filibuster, back in April & May 2009 we sent nearly 700,000 fax petitions to the full Senate against Hamilton, and we successfully persuaded all Republicans to unite against Hamilton, earning all 7 minority votes to block him in the Judiciary Committee. But all 12 committee majority Democrats voted against Jesus-prayers, and so forwarded Hamilton to the full Senate, where his nomination sat quietly without action for seven months, until now… On 4 June 09, the Judiciary committee voted 12-7 along strict party lines, to forward the nomination of Judge David Hamilton, the anti-Jesus Judge, the same judge who issued controversial rulings banning public prayers offered “in Jesus name,” (but allowing prayers to Allah), and hastening the abortion of unborn children. This vote came after we’d already sent nearly 600,000 faxes to the entire Senate opposing Hamilton, proving some Republicans listen to the voice of the people, and some Democrats remain deaf to our petitions. Now this anti-Jesus Judge Hamilton will face the full Senate, and the threat of filibuster by the pro-faith, pro-family Senator James Inhofe (R-OK). x Bill Nelson, D-FL 202-224-5274 y Judd Gregg, R-NH 202-224-3324 x Kay Hagan, D-NC 202-224-6342 y Richard Lugar, R-IN 202-224-4814 x Mark Pryor, D-AR 202-224-2353 y Olympia Snowe, R-ME 202-224-5344 xz Blanche Lincoln, D-AR 202-224-4843 y Susan Collins, R-ME 202-224-2523 z Chris Dodd, D-CT 202-224-2823 xy Kit Bond, R-MO 202-224-5721 z Barbara Boxer, D-CA 202-224-3553 z Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY 202-224-4451 z Michael Bennet, D-CO 202-224-5852 z Roland Burris, D-IL 202-224-2854 z Byron Dorgan, D-ND 202-224-2551 (x = Lives in the South. y = Voted for Sebelius. z = Facing re-election in 2010.) Judge Hamilton wrote: “The injunction orders the Speaker…that the prayers should not use Christ’s name or title or any other denominational appeal…If those offering prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives choose to use the Arabic ‘Allah’…the court sees little risk that the choice of language would advance a particular religion or disparage others.” In other words, Judge Hamilton ruled the words “Jesus” or “Christ” or “Savior” are illegal words, prohibited for public speech, banned by the First Amendment, which somehow prohibits freedom of religious expression, and makes Christian prayers ILLEGAL, but prayers to Allah are TOTALLY LEGAL in a public forum. (What crazy version of the First Amendment is he reading?) Thank God, we took action in 2007 and provided legal arguments to the Indiana Attorney General who appealed to the 7th Circuit Court and WE WON a 2-1 decision overruling Hamilton, restoring the right to pray “in Jesus name” in Indiana. But if President Obama succeeds in promoting Hamilton to the same court that overruled him, that good reversal will be in jeopardy. We’re now the leading national voice against Hamilton, and we’re getting traction toward a successful Senate filibuster that can stop Hamilton’s confirmation, much to the horror of many liberal groups (including the National Abortion Rights Action League who is actively campaigning FOR Hamilton). But together, we can be a louder voice. SO PLEASE SELECT HERE TO SIGN AND WE’LL AUTOMATICALLY FAX YOUR PERSONALIZED PETITION TO ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS, OPPOSING THE ANTI-LIFE, ANTI-CHRISTIAN JUDGE DAVID HAMILTON. READ THE FACTS: The Judicial Confirmation Network quickly opposed Hamilton’s nomination, stating that “President Obama’s first nominee to the federal appeals courts — specifically the appeals court based in Chicago — is an ultra-liberal named David Hamilton who is a former fundraiser for ACORN and former leader of the Indiana chapter of the ACLU. He was nominated to the district court bench by President Clinton even though he had no judicial experience and was rated as ‘not qualified’ by the American Bar Association.” Now newly promoted Judiciary Committee ranking minority Member Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), agrees with pro-faith Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), that we should oppose and filibuster Hamilton’s nomination to the 7th Circuit. Thanks in part to our public pressure, the Republicans and Sessions have twice succeeded in delaying Hamilton’s committee votes, saying “This a complex area of the law, I’ll admit, but it’s time for the federal court to get their heads straight on proper separation of church and state issues.” In 2003, Judge Hamilton struck down part of an Indiana law on abortion. The reasonable law had required abortion clinics to simply give women information about alternatives to abortion in the presence of a physician or nurse, 18 hours before the procedure, until Hamilton ruled to hasten abortions. But thank God, the 7th Circuit Court also reversed Hamilton’s bad decision in that case. If confirmed now Hamilton will sit on that 7th Circuit Court (the same court that frequently overruled him) with tyrannical power to rule the heartland of Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin with his anti-life, anti-liberty, anti-Christian agenda. WE CAN WIN THIS BATTLE! We’ve already sent nearly 700,000 faxes to the full Senate, and we’re getting results! On April 1st and again on April 29th, Senator Orrin Hatch led all Republicans to walk out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in protest against the Democrat “rush job” to confirm Judge Hamilton. Senator Jeff Sessions said he was troubled by Hamilton’s ruling against a sectarian prayer to open the Indiana House of Representatives. Even Senator Arlen Specter expressed concern about Hamilton while serving as a Republican, but after switching parties he broke his promise to not become a “rubber stamp” for the Obama Administration, and voted to confirm Hamilton anyway. But will any Democrats oppose the anti-Jesus Hamilton? But first, take action right now! I pray you will not hesitate, but sign the petition and WE WILL FAX your petition right away, automatically to all 100 U.S. Senators. |

P.S. Time is urgent! The full Senate could vote on Hamilton as early as this week. Select and sign today, & we will forward your name immediately. Please don’t wait another minute. Life, Liberty, and Jesus are too important to be banned by one extremist judge. |
Judge Hamilton is the worst of Obama’s 15 new liberal appeals court appointees. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals covers Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois. Since most cases never reach the Supreme Court, the federal appellate circuits often provide the last word on cases affecting life and liberty.

Hey Obama, No Palestinian State in Israel!
In what seems to be an unending trail of broken campaign promises, President Obama has once again went back on his word. The state of Israel is not one that is simply liberal vs conservative politics. Both Former President Clinton and Former President George W. Bush favored Israel and always supported her in any way they could. Now we start to see the true colors of our Muslim loving President.
Here is what Former Republican Governor Mike Huckabee has to say concerning Israel:
Former Arkansas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said during a trip to Israel that the land “belongs to the Jewish people alone.”He acknowledged that the Palestinians deserve a state of their own, but insisted: “It just can’t be in Israel.”
Huckabee, a Baptist minister and Fox News personality, was accompanied on his trip by Helen Freedman, executive director of Americans for a Safe Israel.
He told reporters that two sovereign nations cannot control the same piece of territory, and said: “Many people with many different faiths believe in a strong Israel. They believe in Israel based on issues of security as well as promises made in the Bible. This land belongs to the Jewish people alone.”
Asked about the so-called Israeli “occupation” of Palestine, Huckabee said he would characterize the Israeli government’s efforts as “accommodation, not occupation,” the Jewish Voice and Opinion reported.
He referred to the Barack Obama administration’s criticism of the Israeli government over construction of Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem, and his backing away from campaign promises of support for a unified Jerusalem.
“The current administration has taken a different track from the one followed by the Bush and Clinton administrations, and Obama’s position now is different from what it was during the campaign,” Huckabee observed.
He also said: “Jews should have the right to live wherever they choose in their homeland. If the Arabs didn’t want to lose land, they shouldn’t have started wars.”

Polls: Hello Mr. President. Going Down?
Polls Tell Grim Tale For Obama
By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann Article Font SizeThis week’s polls are a disaster for President Barack Obama. The Rasmussen poll has his approval dropping to 45 percent, after several weeks at 49 percent. The Zogby poll has it even lower — at 42 percent.
The article goes on to breakdown the various demographics and how even black voters are turning on this president. Even his own party is slipping in it’s support for Obama’s health care reform bill, dubbed “Obamacare”.
Maybe he’s not untouchable after all. The president’s radical world views and his love for socialism has GOP loyalists up in arms. A couple more years of this and swing voters will be coming back to the conservative republican party in droves!

Opinion in My West Texas Newspaper

White House slamming defenders of freedomIf it wasn’t bad enough for our Congress to pass bills sinking our economy and slamming generations to come with debt, their honchos such as Eric Holder and uh-uh-uh Axlerod, Emmuel & Co., are in the process of destroying the CIA and having the White House run law enforcement. It is a stupid “cover-up” (or is it for real?) to try to distract us from Congress passing health care and tax and trade bills that will send us even further into being just another Marxist Third World nation.
This conservative writer, who is understandably quite upset, goes on to ask that in addition to needing a lawyer to read the 1300 page health care reform bill, Why is the Obama administration dismantling the CIA. He also expresses his desire to go to Washington DC September 12 to join the rally. I wish he would go to, since the people need to be heard and the spending needs to stop. I think this man would make a great Midland, TX GOP party activist and hope he starts to volunteer real soon. We need folks like him!

Texas Gives Obama’s Administration an F in Handling of Economy
37% of Texans Give an “F” for Handling of Economy
Texas, one of the most conservative states in the union has given the Obama administration an “F” for their handling of the American economy according to a recent CNN poll of the 2nd 100 days. Not too surprising considering Texas has always been considered a GOP state.
Nationally 36% Give Obama Admin an “F”
what is surprising is not that the US as a whole is right behind Texans in their view of the economy but rather that the folks from the great state of TX gave the new administration an “A” 8%, while nationally they got only 7%! I guess it just goes to show that if you’re going to be on the opposite side of the Texas conservative viewpoint you had better support your guy no matter how bad they are doing.
Regardless if you live in Midland, Texas, the hometown of two very notable republicans, George W. and Laura Bush or if you live anywhere else in the US, Obama and his team of economic pros get a “D” or an “F” a whopping 52% of the time. Now compare that with the first 100 days when the new admin was given an “D/F” only 16% of the time. Sure hope you can turn things around fast guys, ‘cuz there are getting to be fewer and fewer fans of the way y’all handle the economy!

Wild Pigs and the GOP
I got this in my email today and found it very interesting. Not sure if it’s true or not, but it still is very relevant today, regardless if it’s an urban myth, or real.
Catching Wild PigsA chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back.
He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist government.In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, ‘Do you know how to catch wild pigs?’ The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. ‘You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn.
When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in The last side.
The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc.. While we continually lose our freedoms — just a little at a time.
One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! Also, a politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government ‘help’ is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to have your friends read this. Keep your eyes on the newly elected politicians who are about to slam the gate on America.
“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have”
Thomas Jefferson
Note: I would venture to guess that if Thomas Jefferson were alive today he would be a conservative and a proud supporter of the GOP. He understood the importance of the federal government playing a limited role and letting each state form their own local government. Yep, I’m pretty sure that Jefferson would have been a republican politician.
