White House Raises White Flag!

And it is all thanks to you.

An enormous thank you to all of the grassroots supporters and bloggers and everyone who did their part spreading the information and telling Washington that we don't want government running our health care, especially health care as dangerous as HR 3200.

Seeing this - RETREAT: TEAM OBAMA DROPS 'PUBLIC OPTION' on Drudge absolutely made my day.

"WASHINGTON – Bowing to Republican pressure, President Barack Obama's administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system."

Like music to my ears.

UPDATE 08/17/2009

I probably should have mentioned that obviously the war has yet to be won. This is certainly not the end, and we have a long way to go.

Letterman is pathetic, "Burqini" banned, Town Halls Organized - Oh no!

I saw a commercial for his show tonight and one segment is: top 10 messages on Sarah Palin's answering machine.

This guy needs to get some new material.

It's never a good sign when a so-called comedian regurgitates the same old over and over again.

A French convert to Islam was told she could not swim at a pool in Paris while wearing a "burqini," a swim suit that covers most of the body. She plans on taking this issue to the courts, which will prove to be another test for France in its determination to remain completely secular. The woman said that if she loses this battle, she cannot rule out leaving France.

Why should France make special exceptions for anyone? If the rule is that you cannot enter a swimming pool fully clothed, then that's the rule. There shouldn't be an asterisk that excludes women in "burqinis" from that rule.

I keep hearing about how the town hall meetings are being populated by eeeevil organized groups. It's just like the tea parties -- you HAVE to organize. You want to make sure that a large number of people are going to show up in order to make a statement. That doesn't mean, however, that there's the conservative equivalent of ACORN making calls saying, "Show up, we'll pay you, bring hand-painted signs." Now, Arlen Specter is saying that the protests are not "representative of America." Really? But somehow, Cindy Sheehan and her group of what, 5? were representative of America? It's sad how hard the Democrats are trying to shut down everyone who is opposing them.

Kenyan Birth Certificate??

I decided not to blog about this until now because I figured it would be all over; but I haven't seen it posted anywhere except at the Chicago Ray Report.

WASHINGTON – California attorney Orly Taitz, who has filed a number of lawsuits demanding proof of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president, has released a copy of what purports to be a Kenyan certification of birth and has filed a new motion in U.S. District Court for its authentication.

Now, if the certificate is legitimate, and Obama has to step down, I can imagine all hell breaking loose. Riots would be everywhere. If it's not legit, it will truly discredit any future claims that Obama is not a natural born citizen.

Thoughts?

Cost Effectiveness will mean Death

Look, there's a reason people should be against euthanasia. And this is it.

Oregon passed the Death with Dignity Act in 1997. Now the state of Oregon is using that act to its advantage by essentially forcing terminally ill patients to choose a so-called death with dignity. Why don't the liberals think this could happen with a federal plan??




I don't understand why liberals think that a government plan will really be for them or would be in their best interest. Because it won't be. The state will be guilty of the exact thing it's pointing fingers at insurance companies for. But instead of "making money" off of people's pain, the state will be trying to save money off of people's pain.
