All this talk about a "Jobs Bill" is downright laughable. The government cannot create jobs (certainly not private sector, entrepreneurial jobs). The government can only create more government, and to do so, will rob the economy of job producing private capital.
For a president that claims he is not an ideologue, all of his proposed solutions only come out of one book: Das Kapital by Karl Marx.
The Republicans should put forth a real solution: deep, permanant cuts to the federal tax rates, and deep, permanent cuts to the federal budget, starting with so-called "entitlements."

Tonight's Joe Wilson Moment
Following up on Joe Wilson's "You lie!" is Justice Samuel Alito's head shaking "Not true."
A supreme Court Justice is under no obligation to withhold criticism of any other Constitutional officer, even the President. Especially when the President tries to intimidate the members of the Supreme Court.
Good for Justice Alito. And God Save this Honorable Court.

Massachusetts: Nope! Keep the Change
Tonight, none less than the Peoples Republic of Taxachusetts voted to reject the Obama-Pelosi-Reed Democrat plan to socialize health care in the United States.
The nation is on day 25 of the Democrat-only behind closed doors plotting to socialize the nation’s health care system, take away your medical insurance, increase taxes, and degrade the health of all United States citizens and really, the world.
And 364 days after the Anointed One occupied the Office of the President, the nation, through the election of Scott Brown, gave a clear message to Washington and the Democrats – HANDS OFF OUR HEATHCARE.
Not that liberals will listen. Being a liberal means never having to say you are sorry because you know better than voters how to spend their money and run their lives.
For the citizens watching their nation being spent into bankruptcy and their freedoms being lost, they did the only thing they controlled.
Scott Brown reminded the Democrats that the Massachusetts Senate seat belonged to the people, not the Democrats. The Democrats better keep in mind that our healthcare insurance, our relationships with our doctors, and our money belong to US, not THEM.
This is a stinging defeat of the Democrat’s socialist agenda. With double digit unemployment, and declining dollar, and out of control government spending, let me remind the Democrats what they once knew – It’s The Economy Stupid! Government takeovers must stop now. Scott Brown in the Senate will make it harder for Obama to keep socializing our economy.
UPDATE: Democrat Senator Jim Webb of Virginia, a supporter of socialized health care, tonight called for a suspension of Senate votes on health care until Scott Brown is seated in the Senate. I sense that Jim Webb's views of socialized medicine are "evolving."

Hey John Ensign - Zip It
So the philandering ethically- and morally-challenged Senator John Ensign wants everyone to just leave the racist Harry Reid alone because he apologized. Ensign says that people should just accept apologies and leave it at that.
I bet he does.
Senator Ensign was caught in an affair with one of his staffers and conducted a "pay to play" scheme with her husband. The FBI is investigating the matter, and indictments may well be forthcoming. But, he's sorry, and we should just accept apologies and leave it at that.
Senator Ensign should become Senator Resign. At this point, Ensign's replacement would be a Republican, and Ensign will not survive a primary challenge. Stick a fork in him -- he's done.
More importantly, he should have the sense to stay out of the way of a purely political fight when he is such damaged goods. Providing cover for Harry Reid is not going to help him in the least. The GOP will still reject him at the polls and Eric Holder will still make sure he is indicted.

Veteran's Day Call to Action
Today, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, signifies the armistice ending the Great War, the World War. In 1954, this day was designated as Veteran’s day, a day to honor all Veterans, not just the Veterans of World War I.
It is appropriate to honor our Veterans, each of whom has made real sacrifice for this country.
But it is not enough to honor Veterans only on this day. This nation’s military conflict with Muslim jihadists is creating a huge influx of wounded Veterans, all of whom deserve the best possible rehabilitation services, and they are not receiving them. In an age when so many unproductive Americans and illegal aliens claim entitlement to high quality government programs at taxpayer expense, it borders on criminal that the U.S. Government does not ensure that every war Veteran receive the best possible care. We all know that this is not occurring, and it bodes ill for the quality of “care” all citizens might receive in a government run health care system.
It is also not enough to pay lip service to finishing the job in this nation’s military conflict with Islamic jihadists. While good men have fought and died to strip Afghanistan from the death grip of the Taleban and al Qaida, it is clear that more troops are needed to finish the job. Yet the Islamist sympathizer in the White House is not sure if more troops are needed at all, cannot make time to have a meaningful discussion with the Generals in charge of conducting the war in Afghanistan, and cannot make force projection and force protection for our troops in Afghanistan an immediate priority.
The race hustler Barak Hussein Obama campaigned for the job he has, and a part of that is Commander in Chief. It is ultimately the Commander in Chief’s job to win wars in which the United States is engaged, and do the best he can to provide for the troops fighting those wars.
Leaving the military understaffed in Afghanistan and postponing immediate deployment of the troop strength necessary to win in Afghanistan is a dereliction of duty. It is an affront to all citizens if B. Hussein Obama wastes American lives in Afghanistan because he cannot commit himself to fighting Islamic militants.
There is no greater affront to Veterans than to abandon them; to leave them exposed and unsupported as Obama is doing in Afghanistan. Our troops in Afghanistan are barely hanging on. This Veteran’s Day, think about what you can do now to get our troops in Afghanistan the support they need.

Today is VG Day
Today is V-G day; victory for Germay. On this day twenty years ago, the Berlin Wall was forced open, which signaled the beginning of the end of the Cold War. On this day in 1989, East Germany opened the gates to the Berlin wall, allowing East Germans to once again freely and safely travel to West Germany and freedom for the first time since
The action followed a decision a few weeks earlier by the Hungarian government to permit Hungarians to freely travel to Austria. Once that occurred, East Germans had been traveling to West Germany through Hungary and Austria, a fait accompli for the freedom-loving people of East Germany.
In a desperate bid to maintain power, the East German Communists offered the direct travel route, adding the diktat that the East Germans that they had to come back to East Germany after their visit.
It is the natural state of man to seek freedom, and the East Germans did so, not only fleeing to West Germany, but also tearing down the Berlin Wall, at first with their bare hands, and finally with machines. No longer slaves to the Soviet Union, Germany reunified.
On June 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan spoke the people of Berlin at the base of the Brandenburg Gate, near the Berlin Wall, and thundered to the Soviet political masters on the other side of the Wall:
“General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
Naturally, the weak-kneed American liberals in the United States dismissed this dangerous and inflammatory talk. Naturally, the liberal bedwetters were wrong, and little more than two years later, the wall came down, but Gorbachev had nothing to do with it.
Reagan was right, the liberals were wrong, and thank God for men like Ronald Reagan.
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Why the US Should Bar Muslims from Military Service
Once again, yesterday, November 5, 2009, while screaming "Allah Akbar!”, Major Nidal Malik Hasan provided abject and deadly evidence that sincere Muslims cannot honestly serve in the United States military. The Army psychiatrist killed twelve and wounded more than thirty Army personnel at Fort Hood, Texas. In this, he joins such other sincere followers of Islam as Quinton Ezeagwulaby, Mir Aimal Kasi, and US Army sergeant Hasan Karim Akbar in murderously attacking those who stand watch and protect the United States of America either in the United States or on US bases.
Nidal Malik Hasan, was born in the United States, raised in genteel Virginia, public school educated, Virginia Tech graduate enrolled in ROTC, and made a doctor through the military medical school. Yet his religion prohibited him from serving in the Army of a non-Muslim nation.
I believe Nidal Malik Hasan was a sincere Muslim well versed in the Koran. The Koran clearly prohibits Muslims from serving non-Islamic masters. He was no “religion of peace” believer, because Islam is NOT a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of submission – submission to Islam.
Let there be no doubt here – the United States Army itself bears partial responsibility for this carnage by not running Major Hasan out of the service long before this event. There is ample first hand evidence that Major Hasan frequently and publicly denounced the United State’s war against Islamic terrorism and supported terrorist acts undertaking by Muslims against the United States military. In what kind of twisted, politically-correct, uber-sensitive Army would we not discharge such a disaffected, disloyal soldier?
Thank God -- and by God, I mean the God of Abraham, God the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Sprit – thank God for brave first responders and true Americans like police Sgt. Kimberly Munley who did her duty and engaged the murderous Islamic terrorist alone and injured.
What should be abundantly clear at this point is that sincere Muslims should honestly admit that they cannot in good conscience remain in the service of the United States military. Today, immediately, the United States Army must discharge all sincere Muslims as conscientious objectors – in this, there really is no shame. The government should not attempt to deprive Muslims of their faith, but the government must be honest in determining that US military service is incompatible with the Islamic faith, and we need to quit making excuses about it.
Until that happens, persons in the United States military should distrust any Muslim assigned to their unit or post. This nation must put aside its political correctness and see Islam for what it really is, not was Christians and liberals want Islam to be.
God bless the Fort Hood community and the Army community. We put enough on the Army as it is – we should not tolerate ticking human timebombs in its midst.
