ANWR

Now that Nancy Pelosi has made the American people suffer, we should discuss why she is making us suffer and for what. I'm sure everybody now knows what is ANWR and where it is, but just to show an image here it is:

House GOP Keeps on Fighting

House Dems turn out the lights but GOP keeps talking

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats adjourned the House, turned off the lights and killed the microphones, but Republicans are still on the floor talking gas prices.

Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House, arguing that Pelosi's refusal to schedule a vote allowing offshore drilling is hurting the American economy. They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m., and they are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess.

At one point, the lights went off in the House and the microphones were turned off in the chamber, meaning Republicans were talking in the dark. But as Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz..) was speaking, the lights went back on and the microphones were turned on shortly afterward.

But C-SPAN, which has no control over the cameras in the chamber, has stopped broadcasting the House floor, meaning no one was witnessing this except the assembled Republicans, their aides, and one Democrat, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), who has now left.

Only about a half-dozen Republicans were on the floor when this began, but the crowd has grown to about 20, according to Patrick O'Connor.

With the public viewing galleries shutting down for the night, Rep. Kevin Brady has just invited everyone down to the House floor to keep the protest going.

It has been quite the scene on the House floor this afternoon, as GOP staff members have kept the chamber filled with an eclectic assortment of people.

Boy Scouts, members of the German army, stray tourists and even members in shorts and t-shirts have all been spotted on the floor at different times.

While Democrats have privately decried the breakdown in order, Republicans defended the protest.

"You are not witnessing a revolt," said Rep. Mike Pence. "You are witnessing democracy in action."

Rep. Donald Manzullo also delivered a passionate speech, saying today was his late father's birthday.

After relating how his father, an Italian immigrant, came to live in Illinois and own a little grocery store,  Manzullo brought the crowd to its feet with this line: "The people of this country are rising up and saying, 'We want our country back!'"

This is great news. Even though this was not televised hopefully the fair and balanced station (Fox News) can cover this story. This protest shows that there is still some life in the GOP and that they are willing to fight for what Americans want because after all this is the people's house. The fact that Democrats tried to close the lights and microphones numerous times just shows you that they will do anything to censor free speech especially having to do with the debate on oil. What is sad is that the Democrats are going away for five weeks and drilling has not come up for a vote yet. The American people are hurting and it is because of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Hopefully the president will call Congress back into a special session to deal with America's energy crisis. If President Bush does do that it will show that he is no lame duck president. This protest is definitely a win for the GOP as long as it is reported somewhere hopefully.

Democrat Say Never to Drilling

It is obvious the Democrats do not want to drill now in America, but what about some where down the line. Democrat Senator Ken Salazar of Colorado made it clear that at least he does not want to drill no matter what the gas prices become. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell continued to pursue the debate of this amendment and asked that when it reached a certain amount of money at the pump, then the bill would automatically triggered, but Senator Salazar continuously rejected his numbers. The numbers just keep going up and up. This video is startling. It is clear the Democrats don't ever want to drill no matter how much the gas prices rise and how much money we dole out to countries that despise us.

Here is the video:

Huge News


U.S. official: Iraqis told me WMDs sent to Syria
Former head of prisons says incarcerated ex-Saddam forces disclosed move

Posted: July 30, 2008
11:20 pm Eastern

By Ryan Mauro
© 2008 WorldNetDaily

A former American overseer of Iraqi prisons says several dozen inmates who were members of Saddam Hussein's military and intelligence forces boasted of helping transport weapons of mass destruction to Syria and Lebanon in the three months prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Don Bordenkircher – who served two years as national director of prison and jail operations in Iraq– told WND that about 40 prisoners he spoke with "boasted of being involved in the transport of WMD warheads to Syria."

A smaller number of prisoners, he said, claimed "they knew the locations of the missile hulls buried in Iraq."

Senate Says No to Leave

Yesterday, the Senate rejected a concurrent resolution by a tally of 48 in favor of adjourning to the 40 opposed proposed by the House that would have enabled them to adjourn Friday. Like I said in my previous post, this is just a way to avoid dealing with the energy crisis in this country. The people who voted to leave should explain why they would not debate for an extra week or two and try to solve this energy crisis. The people who voted for this are not all Democrats; there is one Republican:

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

"Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me," Obama said. "You know, he's not patriotic enough, he's got a funny name, you know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

Wait, who is the nobody that thinks Bush and McCain don't have real answers. I know that we have no comet down under a terrorist attack under the last 7 years under President Bush. Aggresive foreign policy is the right answer to protecting the United States, while Senator Obama would sit back and let our enemies attack us. Senator Obama's so called answers are so horribly awful; destruction of human life even when a baby could be saved, no guns even though there is a second amendment, spending billions of dollars for other countries for poverty even though the United States already spends around 60 billion dollars already, destruction of the U.S. construction with the nomination of judges like Ruth Ginsberg, redistribution of wealth hello soviet union, refusing to protect American troops because changing political debate is more important to him, mentored by radicals of the ilk of Frank Marshall Davis, friends with Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Jeremiah Wright, associated with ACORN, obama doctrine- meeting with terrorists without preconditions, associated with Tony Rezko, raises taxes on wealthy in his mind $200,000, says speaking other languages is important even though does not mention english first, he even recommends that americans should speak spanish, rationing Americans health care with universal health care,   and just for fun lets mention most radical member in U.S. Senate, has no experience, and his judgment on Iraq has been time and time again, oh and also he thinks that there are 57 states in this country.

The second part of the quote where he says they will make you are afraid of you, well he has said this on many other occasions. I'm assuming the "they" are Republicans and he is saying that voters opposing me are basically going to factor race as an issue. Well Senator Obama voters who do use the race card should not be tolerated but the majority of Republicans and conservatives that are saying that you are dangerous for this country is not because of your skin color it is because you are radical. You have radical friends and voters supporting are declared radicals. Your plans for this country are radical and furthering the discussion is that you are the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate, which is saying a lot because you are more liberal than self-declared socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Senator Obama, you want to turn this country into an enlarged welfare state even though it was already is huge. Senator Obama most Americans do not want president who does not when to admit he was wrong (eg. the surge) The only person who continues to use race as a factor in this campaign is you. Republicans and conservatives would have no problem supporting a black president if he/she was actually qualified for the job. I want Michael Steele's name to mentioned as part of the current veep stakes because his ideas are actually right for this country. So Senator Obama to say that "they" will try to make other voters scared because you look different is offensive to me and it should be to all voters opposing you because in essence you are calling us racists and unable to discern politics and race. The real truth is we realize the truth about you, you are marxist and with friends like Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright, they will help you destroy this great country.

I hope more Americans will able to understand Mr. Obama is absolutely the wrong choice for this country. Imagine the New Deal times 3 trillion times (amount Obama plans to spend for his new programs). He is worse than FDR, Johnson, Carter (which is saying a lot), and Bill Clinton. We would be attacked again and again without retaliation (imagine the Clinton administration but worse). The military budget would probably be cut (imagine the Clinton administration but worse). The U.S. Constitution would be destroyed with more leftist radical judges like Ruth Ginsberg (think FDR but much much worse) I'm tired of ranting, but if anybody would like to add more to the list just keep on adding to his negatives.

New Book

There is a new book that is released today called Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi. If you remember Corsi was one of the authors who co-wrote the book Unfit for Command in 2004. That book detailed why John Kerry was as it titled stated unfit for command. Now this new book seems very earth shattering to many, but from what I've heard off Sean Hannity's radio show today with his interview with Mr. Corsi, it seems like it is the same information that Cliff Kincaid and America's survival have produced. If there is more in the book than what Cliff Kincaid and his team has researched at America's Survival, then for sure this should make for great news for all of us who know that Senator Obama is too radical for this country and hopefully other Americans will see for themselves with this book.

Here are America's Survival's research on Senator Obama:

Communism in Hawaii and the Obama Connection
Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection

Update: Jerome Corsi wrote on World Net Daily of Kincaid's report.

US monthly toll in Iraq at lowest since invasion

Eleven US soldiers were killed in Iraq in July, the lowest monthly toll since the 2003 invasion, according Pentagon figures, highlighting what US commanders say is a marked drop in overall violence.

The number compares with the deadliest month of November 2004 when 137 American troops were slain, an independent toll by icasualties.org showed. The previous low was in May this year when 19 soldiers were killed.

Solving America's Energy Crisis not Important to Them

These Democrats decided it was more important to adjourn before solving America's energy crisis. I know the list is long, but is important that their names are posted. The American people need to know who are the people that decided that drilling and getting off foreign oil and especially debating for a few more weeks on one of the biggest issues facing America right now. If the military risks their lives day in and day out, I'm sure Congress can debate for a few more weeks, but alas it is not the case with this House of Representatives.
