It’s now six months since President Obama took control of one-sixth of the private sector economy with his health care “reform,” and the first changes to our health care system come into effect today. Despite overwhelming public dislike of the bill, we were told that D.C. knows best, and there was nothing to worry about, and we’d be better off swallowing the pill called Obamacare; so, in defiance of the will of the people, the President and his party rammed through this mother of all unfunded mandates. Nancy Pelosi said Congress had to pass the bill so that Americans could “find out what is in it.” We found out that it’s even worse than we feared.

The Post American Presidency- Front Page Magazine Interview
"Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Pamela Geller, founder, editor and publisher of the popular and award-winning weblog AtlasShrugs.com. She has won acclaim for her interviews with internationally renowned figures, including John Bolton, Geert Wilders, Bat Ye’or, Natan Sharansky, and many others, and has broken numerous important stories — notably the questionable sources of some of the financing of the Obama campaign. Her op-eds have been published in The Washington Times, The American Thinker, Israel National News, Frontpage Magazine, World Net Daily, and New Media Journal, among other publications. She is the co-author (with Robert Spencer) of The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America ^[1] (forward by Ambassador John Bolton) — just released on July 27.
FP: Pamela Geller, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
Tell us about your new book and what you have discovered about Obama’s war on America.
Geller: Thanks Jamie.
The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War On America is the product of three years of research I’ve done on Barack Obama: his socialist internationalism, his ties to America-haters and anti-Semites, his race-baiting, and more. As president, Obama is presiding over America’s decline, and is in many important ways the apostle of that decline. He is betraying Israel; warring against free speech; refusing to take real steps to stop Iran’s nuclear program, despite the many genocidal statements Ahmadinejad has made against Israel, and the open contempt the mullahs have shown for his efforts to reach out to them.
Obama is turning allies into enemies and enemies into allies; submitting the U.S. to international law; bankrupting us with socialist schemes both domestically and internationally; bypassing the democratic process and the system of checks and balances by governing through a proliferation of “czars”; and using global warming as a pretext to redistribute wealth from the First World to the Third World...."

Michelle Malkin: Rangel's enablers miss the voter outrage

noreply@blogger.com (ConservativeMarathon) — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:30:00 +0000

Michelle Malkin: Rangel's enablers miss the voter outrage

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is the world's worst cleaning lady. How has she fulfilled her vaunted promise to "drain the swamp" and preside over the "most ethical Congress in history"?
By shrugging her shoulders, downplaying the gravity of myriad ethics charges against corruptocrat New York Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel and waiting for the "political chips" to "fall where they may." Imagine a custodial service that fixed toilet clogs by letting the overflowing waste and polluted waters "fall where they may."
At a press conference to preempt the bipartisan House ethics panel's announcement of 13 ethics and federal regulation charges against Rangel on Thursday afternoon, Pelosi claimed to take "great pride" in her swamp-draining record. Unblinkingly, she cited the House trial against Rangel as proof that the "process" is working.
But that beleaguered panel has been pathetically understaffed, has dragged its feet for two years on the Rangel case and has administered more halfhearted wrist-slaps than all the pushover parents on a season of "Nanny 911" "

McConnell gets better reviews than Bunning or Obama, cn|2 Poll shows

"A majority of likely Kentucky voters approve of the job being done by U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, but aren’t as pleased with the state’s junior senator, Jim Bunning, or President Barack Obama, the cn|2 Poll shows.
McConnell fared best with an approval rating of 53.1% compared to Bunning’s 43.7%. As for Obama, a higher percentage said they strongly disapproved of his performance (42.2%) than the total of those who said they somewhat or strongly approved (40.9%).
Those numbers were part of the results of the first cn|2 Poll, a survey taken of 803 likely voters between July 19 and July 22. Braun Research — a Princeton, New Jersey-based firm – conducted the poll, which has a margin of error of 3.46 percentage points. " from CN|2 Politics

ObamaCare Funds Abortion

noreply@blogger.com (ConservativeMarathon) — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:40:00 +0000

We must stop this immoral offense against human life and against American taxpayers.”

Washington, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, released the following statement today in response to the Obama Administration spending $160 million on a “high risk” insurance program that will pay for abortions:

“It is morally wrong to end an unborn human life by abortion. It is also reprehensible to take taxpayer dollars from millions of pro-life Americans and use them to pay for abortions.

“President Obama promised the American people that his health care law would not allow federal funding of abortion. But according to an investigation by the National Right to Life Committee, this allocation for Pennsylvania’s high risk pool will break the president’s promise by using taxpayer dollars to subsidize coverage of nearly any kind of abortion.

“We must stop this immoral offense against human life and against American taxpayers. Congress should act quickly on critical legislation by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA) to stop the administration from using ObamaCare to fund abortions. The best long-term solution, and the one that I remain committed to, is the total repeal of ObamaCare.”

the Obama Administration will give $160 million to set up a new “high-risk” insurance program under ObamaCare that will pay for abortions. Calling Bart Stupak. In response to this announcement, Congressman Pencesaid, "It is morally wrong to end an unborn human life by abortion. It is also reprehensible to take taxpayer dollars from millions of pro-life Americans and use them to pay for abortions."

GOP ticket with tea party support close to forming

"The first Republican gubernatorial ticket for 2011 — and one with the backing of tea party activists — could be announced by the end of this week and perhaps as soon as Tuesday, key conservatives confirmed to cn|2 Politics on Monday night.
Conservative radio show host Leland Conway said he has been put on notice that a slate could be announced on his afternoon radio show on Lexington’s WLAP-630 AM “as early as tomorrow.”
Conway said he wasn’t at liberty to talk about who might be on the ticket. But he eliminated the possibility that he might be a candidate in 2011.

"Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul has raised eyebrows in Kentucky's agricultural world by his repeated criticism of federal subsidies for farming operations, which he says disproportionately favor corporate farming.
He'll have a chance to explain his position and perhaps defend it when he and Democratic Senate candidate Jack Conway appear before the Kentucky Farm Bureau's Board of Directors on July 22 in Louisville for a "Measure the Candidates" forum.

Tom Tancredo at Ken Buck rally

noreply@blogger.com (ConservativeMarathon) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:43:00 +0000

Buck was hosting a hot dog picnic with Tea Party conservative Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, in City of Cuernavaca Park downtown. The event was supposed to rally Tea Party supporters around Buck, with DeMint holding a fundraiser on Buck’s behalf later in the day.

Tancredo took the microphone after Buck and DeMint made some remarks to two hundred or so supporters. The controversial former U.S. representative from the south suburbs launched into a stemwinder of a list of threats against the U.S. throughout history, from the Great Depression to terrorism to various wars. Then came this:

“I truly believe this . . . I believe this with all my heart, that the greatest threat to the United States today, the greatest threat to our liberty, the greatest threat to the Constitution, the greatest threat to our way of life, everything we believe in, the greatest threat to the country put together by the Founding Fathers, is the guy who is in the White House today.”

Obama tries to sell ‘recovery summer’ amid slow economy

Obama tries to sell ‘recovery summer’ amid slow economy

"President Barack Obama and his team are trying to sell Americans on an economic recovery this summer, but the economy is stubbornly refusing to cooperate. 

Obama and his Cabinet officials will fan out across the country over the next few days to spread the message to voters about how effective their $787 billion recovery plan has been, an effort they’re calling “recovery summer.”

The administration’s message has run into several negative economic headwinds that have led to worries the economy is at risk of entering a double-dip recession, not a recovery.''

First faceoff reveals campaign playbook for Conway, Paul

First faceoff reveals campaign playbook for Conway, Paul

"In the first face to face meeting since the primary of Kentucky's U.S. Senate candidates, both tried to paint the other as out of step with Kentucky.
The main themes of the fall campaign are now established. Republican Rand Paul says he's the only candidate who will challenge the way Washington works. Democrat Jack Conway says though some changes are needed, government is not necessarily the problem.
Speaking at the joint session of the Kentucky County Judge Executives Association and Kentucky Municipal Clerks Association, each candidate strained to define both his own views and the views of his opponent.
"(Conway) will have to distance himself from this president and his party if he wishes to have any chance in Kentucky," Paul said, "We'll see if he can do this and do this in a believable way."

Kentucky Freedom Festival Saturday July 10th

Kentucky Freedom Festival Saturday July 10th

About: We are now just over three weeks away and counting for what promises to be the greatest grassroots gathering that the Commonwealth of Kentucky has ever seen. Buses are being chartered already from both the Louisville and Cincinnati areas. The collaboration across organizations has been what you might expect from like-minded “We the People” types: smooth, eager and focused on educating, motivating and mobilizing conservative Kentuckians to have a powerful voice in determing the direction of America. We’ll converge on the epicenter of the political landscape in KY: The “Great Lawn” at the Capitol, in Frankfort, from 5pm-8pm. In the heart of of summer, we’ll have ample cold water available at a nominal cost. But do bring your own lawn chair!

Speakers: This is not a “candidate’s forum,” though your conservative candidates for both the US Senate and US Congress are slated to speak. We DO want you to get to know them better and help them take your concerns to Washington to help move our federal government toward the Constitution. This is instead a celebration of FREEDOM and those ingredients that made America great and can restore her to greatness once again. To that end, a number of grassroots speakers have been invited and will speak on topics such as Immigration Reform, Healthcare, Education, Energy Independence, Terrorism, the Founders and the Constitution itself. Those confirmed to speak (to date) include

Where In The World Is Jack Conway These Days? from Page One

"One has to wonder why Jack Conway has dropped off the face of the earth during such a contentious U.S. Senate race.
There’s the occasional statement from Allison Haley. The occasional targeted press release. An occasional visit around the state with a select few in a private gathering. The occasional effort by a staffer to get a national blog to say something.
But what else is there? There’s no coordinated press strategy, outside of dozens of ignored calls from major media outlets. There’s been no effort to develop a rapport with the Kentucky blogosphere and net/nutroots that drive the media (In fact, there’s been a noticed effort of Conway folks working to discredit and undermine nearly everyone). ...."

Statement from Lally Campaign - Lack of Budget in Congress

"Since the current budget rules were put into place in 1974, the House has never failed to pass an annual budget resolution…. until now. With our nation reeling from 10 percent unemployment, 14.3 trillion in debt, and a 33 percent drop in new home sales, Congressman Yarmuth and the Pelosi Congress deliver another blow to the economic security of taxpayers and residents in Louisville, Kentucky. He comes back to the district with no budget, no path to reduce the deficit and tired excuses about the former administration. This kind of procedural incompetence can no longer be tolerated..."

White House Backs Kenyan Constitution Allowing Abortion

noreply@blogger.com (ConservativeMarathon) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:47:00 +0000

"The Obama administration is offering incentives to Kenya to approve a controversial new constitution that would legalize abortion for the first time, promising that passage will "allow money to flow" into the nation's coffers, including U.S. aid.

But there's a hitch to that pledge. A federal law known as the Siljander Amendment passed in 2006 makes it illegal for the U.S. government to lobby on abortion in other countries -- and three U.S. lawmakers say they want a federal investigation into the promises made by the administration."

NRCC needs to send money to Todd Lally

"Todd Lally has not made the list in his bid against Rep. John Yarmuth, but is on the NRCC's "radar" according to

The NRCC really needs to send some money Lally's way. Notwithstanding the Democrats' voter registration advantage, and the fact that he's a nice guy, Yarmuth is simply too liberal for Kentucky. On health care, for example, Yarmuth has long championed a single-payer system. Nancy Pelosi tapped Yarmuth to help with "messaging."

If Lally can get enough money to inform Kentuckians of how far left Yarmuth is, this can be a Republican pick-up. The NRCC needs to help Lally as well as Barr."

The Rasmussen Trend in the KY Senate Race from Barefoot and Progressive:

July Favorable/Unfavorable (May)
Paul- 55/38 (56/31)
Conway- 51/35 (47/36)

As you can see, Paul has taken a net hit of 8 points, while Conway is up 5 points. If you look as far back as April, Conway was 44/39, so that's +11 for him..." Barefoot and Progressive

NASA's new mission: Building ties to Muslim world

"When I became the NASA administrator, [Obama] charged me with three things," NASA head Charles Bolden said in a recent interview with the Middle Eastern news network al-Jazeera. "One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering."

From moon landings to promoting self-esteem: It would be difficult to imagine a more dramatic shift in focus for an agency famous for reaching the heavens. Bolden's words left supporters of space exploration astonished. "Everyone had the same impression: Is this what he is spending his time on?" says a Republican Hill aide who tracks the space program. "A lot of people are very upset about it."
