Compromise Isn't Caving In

I have a few questions for Jack Van Ens’ after reading his latest Denver Post YourHub column, “Compromise isn’t caving in” where he criticizes the Tea Party and tells them to be more willing to compromise.
    - Can Jack provide us with the column he wrote criticizing the Democrats for ram-rodding the Obamacare Health Plan through Congress?   I don’t recall Jack calling for compromise and telling us about the need for Democrats to work with the Republicans to “pursue what makes for peace and mutual understanding” (Romans 14:19).  Can Jack provide us with the column he wrote condemning Speaker of the House Pelosi for using bully tactics to lock Republicans out of committee meetings while rushing this bill through the abridged legislative process?  
    - Jack accuses the Tea Party of using “gutter-talk” when rallying the troops by showing a movie clip.  Will Jack be writing a column soon condemning those Democrats who call the Tea Party members “terrorists?”
    - Jack calls members of the Tea Party hoodlums who kill, maim, and bully to get their way.  Will Jack be writing a column condemning ACORN, SEIU, and other union thugs who invade bank president’s homes and assault Tea Party members holding peaceful rallies?
    - Jack tells us that President Obama’s debt speech on July 25 reminded citizens how important compromise is for Congress to function.  Can Jack tell us how it is compromise when Senator Harry Reid shelves a bill passed by the House calling for “cut, cap, and balance” and refuses to even bring this bill to the floor for debate in the Senate?   
    - Jack tells us that the Tea Party and conservatives spin their wheels moored on soft shoulders.  Can Jack explain to us how the Tea Party is spinning its wheels with its simple calls for fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets?
    - Jack tells us that the Tea Party threatens to raze our “Republic’s house.”  Can Jack explain how calls to cut, cap, and balance a budget threatens our Republic?   Is Jack not concerned that our Republic is in peril from overspending beyond our means?   Doesn’t that threaten our Republic?   Can Jack tells us what the founding fathers would have to say about our accumulation of our massive debt?
    - Jack tells us that “consensus works to loosen a log-jammed Congress” and demands that the Tea Party must compromise on its principles to allow the debt ceiling to be raised so the federal government can spend its way beyond the $14 trillion debt.  Will Jack’s next column call for the Senate and President Obama to compromise on their principles of tax and spend?   Can Jack tell us how the Senate and President Obama should compromise to get us on that “high middle road” he seeks?   Or does Jack’s call for compromise only apply to the Tea Party and conservatives?

A Guy Goes Into A Bar

This guy goes into a bar. The bartender is a robot. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini."

The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What's your IQ?" The guy says," 168." The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.

The guy leaves, but he is curious...So he goes back into the bar.

The robot bartender says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini."

Again, the robot makes a great martini gives it to the man and says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100." The robot then starts to talk about Nascar, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.

The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar.

The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini," and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "Uh, about 50."

The robot leans in real close and says, "So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?"

The Job Czar

Check out what Csar is doing to create jobs  WOW!!
Unbelievable!!!
 

General Electric is planning to move its
5-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha, Wis.,
to Beijing. In addition to moving the headquarters,
the company will invest $2 billion in China and train
more than 65 engineers and create six research centers.
This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year, but paid no taxes-the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the united States.

So let me get this straight.
President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt
to head his commission on job creation (job czar).
Immelt is supposed to help create jobs.
I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country
he was supposed to be creating those jobs.

If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does.

HIghlights of the Obama Care Law

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE THIS...

Obama Care Highlighted by Page Number 

 
JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE 
CARE BILL.  

Judge Kithil of Marble Falls,  TX -  highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200

 

Please read this........

HAD ENOUGH????  Judge Kithil then goes on to identify:

"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to
                members of Congress.  Members of Congress are already
                exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded
                private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on
                our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick
                'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."
  
                -    Honorable David Kithil of Marble Falls,  Texas

All of  the above should give you the ammo you need to support your opposition to bamacare. especially the reference to pages 58 & 59

Obama the Victim

Here's an opinion by Chuck Green, who writes "Greener Pastures"

for the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel, one of our more liberal newspapers.

Given that Mr. Green is a lifelong Democrat, this is rather a stunning piece.

Obama is victim of Bush's failed promises

Greener Pastures Column -- 5/ 15/10

Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his first term in office:

Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever. Largest number of broken promises ever. Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity ever.

Wow! Talk about change.

Just over a year ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations, President Obama was flying high. After one of the nation's most inspiring political campaigns, the election of America 's first black president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout followers, it was inconceivable that one year later his administration would be gripped in a self-imposed crisis. Of course, they don't see it as self-imposed. It's all George Bush's fault. George Bush, who doesn't have a vote in congress and who no longer occupies the White House, is to blame for it all.

He broke Obama's promise to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.

He broke Obama's promise to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.

He broke Obama's promise to end earmarks.

He broke Obama's promise to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.

He broke Obama's promise to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.

He broke Obama's promise to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America 's most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.

He broke Obama's promise to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.

He broke Obama's promise to end no-compete contracts with the government.

He broke Obama's promise to disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings.

He broke Obama's promise for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.

He broke Obama's promise to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter of last year.

Yes, it's all George Bush's fault. President Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration. If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, all of President Obama's problems would be solved. His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel. North Koreawould have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government.

Oh, and did I mention what it would be like if the Democrats, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn't have the heavy yoke of George Bush around their necks? There would be no earmarks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying (Nebraska, Louisiana).

If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, we'd have real change by now.

All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama's fault or the fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress. It's all George Bush's fault.

Take for example the decision of Eric Holder, the president's attorney general, to hold terrorists' trials inNew York City. Or his decision to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian. Two disastrous decisions.

Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George Bush.

Need more proof?

You might recall that when Scott Brown won the election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing "the Ted Kennedy seat," President Obama said that Brown's victory was the result of the same voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008. People were still angry about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years. And they wanted change.

Yes, according to our president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts was George Bush's fault.

Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats. It is all George Bush's fault.

Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time for hope and change ever arrive?

Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something...anything?
