The Patriot's Flag

Today I’m flying the Navy Union Jack. Now we find out at least ONE of the people who passed the Health Care “Reform” bill was absolutely DRUNK during its passage … Max Baucus.  Hard to believe? We’ve got the video … embedded below:

Liberty Threatened

NewsReelBlog.com by Nancy Morgan: During the general debate on the health care legislation that recently passed the Senate, Senator Max Baucus, Democrat from Montana, took to the floor of the Senate and engaged in a drunken tirade. Oblivious to the fact that he was slurring his words and mangling his sentences, Senator Baucus shouted down opponents as he let loose a rambling, and at times incoherent, tirade against those dastardly Republicans who refused to be bipartisan. This drunk is the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, charged with overseeing our taxpayer dollars. As is clearly evident from this video, the less than honorable Baucus should not be in charge of a toll booth, much less have a say in the crafting of legislation that will affect every single American.

Here’s the drunken tirade direct from the Senate floor:

Shame! Now pass this on to everybody you know. As Nancy said in her post at NewsReelBlog … we will be the only ones who see this travesty … the “lame stream media” will not be covering it.

How much more proof do we need that this congress is totally out of control?

Doug 1st Navy Union Jack - Liberty Threatened

Today I’m flying the Sons of Liberty Patriot Flag.  On December 23, the Senate Democrats have passed  for cloture on their version of the Health Care Bill (3590) and at 7am on December 24, the Senate bill passed.  Our federal government is totally out of control, and nothing can stop the Democrats from moving toward the socialism they so love.  Democrats, be them neighbors or on a national chart are enemies of the Republic and they are proving it every day.

Tyranny Overcomes Liberty

Dec 24th Update: from The Heritage Foundation

This morning  just after 7 AM EST, the United States Senate passed, again on a straight party-line vote, President Barack Obama’s health insurance bill. Originally scheduled for a 9 PM vote tonight, the bill’s Senate passage is a welcome Christmas gift for a beleaguered White House. However, as the First Family jets off for Hawaii, the American people, liberals, moderates, and conservatives are all saying this bill is closer to a lump of coal in their stocking than real health care reform.

Along a PARTY LINE vote, the Senate Democrats have passed for “cloture” the Senate version of the Health Care Bill.  They did it by BUYING the votes (just as the Federalist Papers said they would if they were not kept in check).  Republicans, by “moving to the center” in the last election have GIVEN the Republic to the far left and we are all now going to pay the price. Thank you moderates, neo-cons and faux-cons all.

Democrats Use Federal Money (our tax dollars) to BUY the vote! Here’s how you pass a bill in a Democrat-controlled Senate …(this summary courtesy of the San Francisco Examiner):

Democrat Graft and Corruption

» Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. — Up to $300 million in additional federal money to pay for the state of Louisiana’s share of the proposed expansion of Medicaid.

» Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb. — A commitment that the federal government will permanently pay for Medicaid expansion in the Cornhusker State at a cost of about $100 million.

» Sens. Ben Nelson and Carl Levin, D-Mich. — A provision that shelters Mutual of Omaha in Nebraska and Blue Cross Blue Shield in Michigan from a proposed $10 billion annual fee on the health insurance industry.

» Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn. — Dodd, facing a re-election battle with low poll numbers, inserted a $100 million grant tailored to a proposal for a new hospital at the University of Connecticut Health Center.

» Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. — A 2.2 percent increase in federal coverage of Medicaid expansion, worth about $600 million over a decade.

» Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. — A special provision that will exempt about 800,000 senior citizens in the Sunshine State from any of the proposed cuts to the Medicaid Advantage program.

» Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. — The chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and a chief architect of the health care bill inserted language in the bill to provide services and benefits, including Medicare, for a group of Montana miners exposed to asbestos.

And as a result, we got this:

And the Death Panel is “in” and it cannot be repealed:

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) – Two pro-life senators tried to raise a constitutional challenge to a section of the Senate health care bill that makes the infamous “death panels” permanent. They said it was unconstitutional to pass a law that prevents Congress from overturning the law at a later point.

Senators Jim DeMint of South Carolina and John Ensign of Nevada raised a Constitutional Point of Order on the Senate floor against the bill on behalf of other Republican lawmakers. “This is not liberty, it is tyranny of good intentions by elites in Washington who think they can plan our lives better than we can,” DeMint complained.”When confronted with the facts, the Senate Democrats ran for cover. The Senate Democrats are ignoring the constitution, the law, and their own rules to pass Obamacare,” he concluded.

(See his full comments and discussion on the Senate Floor HERE (pdf file))

The Cypress Times: Ironically, and well…even laughably, this provision that Reid and the other communists want to make sure is never, ever modified, or repealed, is the very death panel that the communists and their lap dogs in the corrupt, Obamacentric media have been working night and day, with almost superhuman effort, to convince the public that it never existed!!

…And from Sen. Charles Grassley: (Examiner.com)

The President, Vice President, White House staff and cabinet secretaries are working very hard for this massive restructuring of America’s health care system. It is only fair and logical that if this bill becomes law, these leaders should themselves be subject to the reforms.

• This is the second time this month Grassley attempted to include this amendment in the bill, and the second time he was denied even a chance for debate.

And if that isn’t enough to give you a Black and Blue Christmas, add some Red ink …

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate voted Thursday (Dec 24th … Merry Christmas again) to raise the ceiling on the government debt to $12.4 trillion, a massive increase over the current limit and a political problem that President Barack Obama has promised to address next year. The Senate’s rare Christmas Eve vote, 60-39, follows House passage last week and raises the debt ceiling by $290 billion. The vote split mainly down party lines, with Democrats voting to raise the limit and Republicans voting against doing so. There was one defection on each side, by senators whose seats will be on the ballot next year: GOP Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio and Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana.

Anybody still think it was a good idea to vote Dem for “fiscal responsibility”

(How about it Wes?)

Sons of Liberty Flag

“D” stands for Disgusting! Watching this “process” of “democratic legislation  (small “d”) was simply disgusting!  All done behind closed doors, with NO TRANSPARENCY, having items in the bill that Democrats (the President himself) promised would not be there! (They lied, didn’t they?), handing out our tax dollars like it was theirs to secure the votes (above).  Simply stated, “D” stands for Disgusting, and “D” stands for Democrat!

When this country falls on its face because of out-of-control debt and Liberty and Freedom are just Dreams of our Fathers, we will have ONE PARTY to blame … the Democrat Party.  This should give voters for 2010 a CLEAR CHOICE for who they will vote for to lead the government away from this breathtaking fall toward socialism and government control over the “health and well-being” of the citizens of the Republic. It is difficult to “celebrate” Christmas while watching Liberty and Freedom die … one vote at a time.

A Black and Blue Christmas! The Democrats in the House and now the Democrats in the Senate have given us a Black and Blue Christmas.  Black, the opposite of a White Christmas … dark actually, disparagingly dark … and Blue?  Yes, the Democrats are represented by the color Blue.  Hence thank you Democrats for a Black and Blue Christmas in 2009.  Only a Democrat could celebrate this Christmas.

Personally? If you voted for this mess, then I really don’t want to have anything to do with you.  Democrats are proving they are an enemy of the Republic … and if you support them, you also are an enemy of the Republic.

Thank you so much for a Black and Blue Christmas!

Doug Sons of Liberty Flag - Liberty LOST!

The day I posted this, I was flying the Union Jack. I fly this Patriot Flag on my front porch when Liberty is Threatened. I fully expect Liberty to be continually threatened from the “left” and the Democrats.  But Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has gone to the “dark side” and is sipping the man-made [HOAX!] global warming kool aid, he supports illegal immigration and is helping Obama  with the socialist takeover of the country.  This man is NOT a the conservative he said he was while campaigning. He’s a “lefty” and should be treated as  a pariah by all Republicans and censured post haste.

Graham Wall of Shame: I’m going to be putting a link to this post in the “references” under “Graham – Wall of Shame”.  I will be adding to this page and changing it from time to time. So if you want the latest on why you should NOT have voted for Lindsey Graham and why every Conservative organization in the state should be keeping pressure on him to honor his “conservative” campaign promises.

On Conservatives in the Republican Party: Lindsey Graham:“To those people who are pursuing purity, you’ll become a club not a party,” Graham told POLITICO in the Capitol Wednesday. “Those people who are trying to embrace conservatism in a thoughtful way that fits the region and the state and the district are going to do well. Conservatism is an asset. Blind ideology is not.” Well, Conservative “Blind Ideology” IS the Constitution of the United States!

On Illegal Immigration: At a function of La Raza, a Hispanic group whose primary goal is to reclaim the South Western United States for Mexico, by military force if necessary, he was asked his response to the folks back in South Carolina who opposed the amnesty portion of the immigration bill. His response: I’m going to “tell the bigots to shut up.” On the Senate floor, Graham referred to his constituents in SC who disagreed with him on amnesty for illegal aliens as “those loud people“, and vowed to ignore them. Sloan Realty

On Global Warming: Lindsey Graham (AP): I started traveling with Sen. (John) McCain, who has been a climate change advocate for a long time, and I went to the Arctic region with him and Sen. (Hillary Rodham) Clinton. I came to the conclusion from listening to the scientists … from people who lived in the regions, that the canary in the coal mine is in the Arctic regions, and that the planet is heating up. How much is caused by greenhouse gases, I don’t know. But I believe to some extent it’s a contributing factor. … Now, why did I choose to do something this time around? … The one thing that I could say without any doubt, that the best chance to create jobs for the future here in this country is energy independence. And you will never become energy independent until you price carbon.

Other views of this Faux-Conservative: American Thinker: Lindsey Graham was elected to serve as United States Senator in 2002. He was easily re-elected in 2008, largely due to the support of conservatives. Conservatives like founder and past president of the low country’s South Strand Republicans, John Bonsignor. John and his wife campaigned hard for Graham, based on their belief that Graham would govern as a conservative. Meaning, lower taxes and less government. “Graham is disappointing,” states Bonsignor, “He campaigned as a conservative but his record is moderate left.” When asked if he would vote for Graham now, Bonsignor stated emphatically, “No,” citing Lindsey’s support for Sotomayor, his support for TARP funds, and the final straw, his support for cap and trade.

Censure from SC Republicans: Post and Courier: The Charleston County Republican Party’s executive committee took the unusual step Monday night of censuring U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for stepping across the GOP party line. County Chairwoman Lin Bennett said the unanimous vote “is an effort to get his attention. They (party leaders) are just fed up, and they want him to know they’re fed up.” The resolution mentions Graham’s cooperation with U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., on a bipartisan energy bill, and his support for the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program and the time he called some opponents of immigration reform “bigots.”"U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham — in the name of bipartisanship — continues to weaken the Republican brand and tarnish the ideals of freedom, rule of law, and fiscal conservatism,” the resolution reads.

Senator Graham needs to hear the anger from the Conservatives who gave him the job … it is time he does the bidding of the people who put him there … he works for US!  And if the above isn’t enough proof … try this …

ClimateProgress.org: Graham’s ties to the White House are pivotal for sponsors of an energy and climate bill as they search for more Republicans willing to work on a key feature of their domestic and international agenda. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) yesterday said he has “definite Republican votes” for the bill, though he would not name names or give exact numbers

Lindsey Graham: We will be working closely with the White House over the course of the next weeks with a few to try to pull together what ultimately could be presented to Senator Reid and the leadership as a piece of legislation that we hope could get the sixty votes necessary to pass or more, and we would hope it would be more.

Our “conservative Senator from South Carolina is even supporting Obama’s Socialist takeover of the country …

Lindsey Graham Lies.  He calls himself a Conservative and he is not. He takes positions alien to Conservative values and flaunts his “neo-con” views.  Actually he’s not a “neo-con” … he’s a fake conservative … FAUX Conservative!  To have “run” on a “conservative” ticket during his last campaign was to lie to his constituents … and every day he continues to put down conservative ideals, he is proving that he was lying to those who he asked to vote for him.  He gratefully accepted the conservative vote that put him into office, but he turns his back on those supporters time after time.

ACTION It is time for all Conservatives in South Carolina who voted for this “bipartisan” moderate Republican to begin not only turning their backs on him when he speaks anywhere in South Carolina, but it is also time for all Republican organizations in the state to censure him just as the Charleston Republican Club did (see above).

It is time for censure and it should come in two forms:

1. Censure from all Republican Clubs in the state of South Carolina
2. Censure from the conservative citizens of South Carolina that voted for this “faux-conservative”.

Doug 1st Navy Union Jack - Liberty Threatened

Today I am flying the Fort Moultrie Flag.  I fly this Patriot Flag when there is “Liberty Risky” discussion happening. The Non Governmental International Panel on Climate Change report is out and fully exposes the Global Warming Hoax.

Liberty at Risk

The IPCC: The “official” (UN Sanctioned body) for the “consensus” of Global Warming is the IPCC … Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change.  If you want to see “their side” of the hoax, you can find their web page HERE.  This group is responsible for “collecting” all the data, and REVIEWING it … then passing it forward in reports to the public.

IPCC Flow Chart

The Lie. The problem was at the PEER REVIEW level. The dishonest CRU scientists only allowed data to go forward that promoted their cause of proving man-made global warming. (The “data flow” chart showing the problem area is to the right).  This was where the CRU came in and these are the people that were changing the data as proven by their “acquired” emails (Climate-Gate).

UPDATE: 09.2010: Meltdown of the Climate “consensus” (Caught in the lie!)

• Sad to notice how many other “real” scientists were probably honestly involved in this dishonest process. Earlier in the process they were working diligently to acquire accurate data, only to have it “elminated” or “changed” at the peer review stage toward the end of the process.

Enter the NIPCC The Non-Governmental Panel for Climate Change.

NIPCC: The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) is [snip] an international panel of nongovernment scientists and scholars who have come together to understand the causes and consequences of climate change. Because we are not predisposed to believe climate change is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, we are able to look at evidence the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ignores. Because we do not work for any governments, we are not biased toward the assumption that greater government activity is necessary.

The NIPCC Report: Climate Change Reconsidered:

NIPCC: The 2009 Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) is the most comprehensive objective compilation of science on climate change ever published. It offers a “second opinion” to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published in 2007. Unlike that report, Climate Change Reconsidered finds global warming is not a crisis, and never was. (Summary of Report, pdf, here).

Here are only a FEW of the MANY findings in the report:

(Note: Each bullet below is PROVEN scientifically in the report)

• Climate Models are incorrect
• Current trends are not “unprecedented”
• There are environmental advantages to increasing CO2 (not disadvantages)
• There is no evidence that CO2-induced increases in air temperature will cause unprecedented plant and animal extinctions, either on land or in the world’s oceans.
• There is no evidence that CO2-induced global warming is or will be responsible for increases in the incidence of human diseases or the number of lives lost to extreme thermal conditions.A corrected temperature record shows temperatures around the world were warmer during the Medieval Warm Period of approximately 1,000 years ago than they are today, and have averaged 2-3ºF warmer than today’s temperatures over the past 10,000 years.
• Highly accurate satellite data, adjusted for orbit drift and other factors, show a much more modest warming trend in the last two decades of the twentieth century and a dramatic decline in the warming trend in the first decade of the twenty-first century.
• Most populations of polar bears are growing, not shrinking, and the biggest influence on polar bear populations is not temperature but hunting by humans, which historically has taken a large toll on polar bear populations.

Above is only a sampling.  Read their book, found here: Amazon.com (beware, the price is $123.00)!  But you can also read a summary of their findings at the website: NIPCC Site (look at the blue area to the left to select the area of your interest and browse through the findings). I also made a pdf file of the summary of the book and findings which you can download HERE.

Renew America: The true science, not the stuff conjured up on computer models, always refuted the global warming theory. That’s because it was widely known to honest climatologists, meteorologists, and others. It was always known that carbon dioxide (CO2) was a miniscule part of the Earth’s atmosphere, barely 0.038 percent. Of that amount, man-made CO2 emissions constitute less than 0.00022 percent! Some will argue these figures, but they always remain within these very tiny parameters. Carbon dioxide has nothing to do with global warming or as it is now called, climate change.

Nor has the Earth been rapidly warming. The last warming cycle began around 1850 as a respond to a Little Ice Age that began in 1300. The Earth warmed about one degree Fahrenheit. By 1998, it began to cool again!

From CanadaFreePress: On 22 November 1996 from Geoff Jenkins (UK Met Office) to Phil Jones, “Remember all the fun we had last year over 1995 global temperatures, with early release of information (via Oz), “inventing” the December monthly value, letters to Nature etc etc? I think we should have a cunning plan about what to do this year, simply to avoid a lot of wasted time.”“We feed this selectively to Nick Nuttall (Executive Director of UNEP) (who has had this in the past and seems now to expect special treatment) so that he can write an article for the silly season. We could also give this to Neville Nicholls (IPCC lead author and Australian Met Bureau employee.)??” They’re talking about releasing an annual global temperature a month before the year is over. Hardly scientific or responsible bureaucratic behavior, but they think deceiving the public is “fun”.

In this blog, I have commented on this before: (Climate Gate’s Blue Dress) and (Environmental Religion). If you take the time to read through the NIPCC website and the summary report, you will find that the “hoax” is based on blatant lies that played on the “fears” of IGNORANT people … people who have not, like you, taken the time to research and learn the truth.  It is these people the hoaxers are trying to enslave with Socialism.  The Man Made Global Warming Hoax was the vehicle by which these people could impose taxes on everyone creating monies for their own continued power grab.  Its a scam, scare the dumb people out of their money so they’ll give it to us.

Al Gore

And the lies continue…

• Al Gore said the center of the earth’s heat is “Millions of Degrees”
  • The actual core temperature of the earth is about 12,000 degrees
• Al Gore said the Ice Caps will be gone in 5 years
  • Disputed by the scientist from which he received the information
• Al Gore said the CRU Emails are 10 years old
  • No, they “started” 10 years ago, the most recent was November of 2009
• Al Gore says the Polar Bears are dying because of global warming … (oh me)
  • In 2002, the US Geological Survey in the Arctic Refuge Coastal plain reported the polar bear population was near historic highs. Biologist Mitchell Taylor of the Arctic community of Nunavit who tracks 13 of those colonies, says 11 are stable or thriving with populations that have increased 25%.

The Media still is covering the lies. Watch CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC … and all of them continue to avoid the truth of the Global Warming Hoax.  This is because they are participants in the lie. The “hoax” was spread by the news media who, like the CRU “researchers” WANTED global warming to be man made.  They all are reporting what they “want” the news to be, not what the news actually is.  This is shameful.  And if the “lame stream” media is your only source of news, then you are among the ranks for the IGNORANT.

Doug Ft Moultrie Flag - Liberty Risky Discussion

Today I’m flying the Fort Moultrie flag. I fly it when there is “liberty-risky” discussion. and such a discussion is happening right now. Once again the EPA is reaching out to control our lives, supported by the Democrats and Obama as usual. This time they want to control ALL of the water in the USA … not just “navigable water” as they previously controlled.

Water Grab Act

Government Power Grab: It isn’t enough that the EPA has declared CO2 a “Hazardous” gas … giving them jurisdiction over everything with a carbon emission from smokestacks, to cow farts, to the emissions of your lawn mower? (See S.T.O.P. the EPA). Now they want to control all water … and yes, they can regulate a mud puddle with this power. The intrusion of this government into our personal liberties and freedoms is breathtaking … and so far, the abundance of American Ignorance is allowing them to get away with it!  So let’s “wise up” and get with what is going on … here’s the facts:  (pass them on!).  The official name of this legislation is the Federal Water Pollution Control Act or FWPC or FWPCA.

Bill Summary: There are two pieces of legislation on this: H.R. 2421 and S 787.  Here is the summary for S-787:

Thomas Summary of S-787 Clean Water Restoration Act – Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to replace the term “navigable waters” that are subject to such Act with the term “waters of the United States,” defined to mean all waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide, the territorial seas, and all interstate and intrastate waters and their tributaries, including lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, natural ponds, and all impoundments of the foregoing, to the fullest extent that these waters, or activities affecting them, are subject to the legislative power of Congress under the Constitution.

Heartland.org: “By eliminating one word–navigable–and replacing it with the term ‘waters of the United States,’ the legislation would give the federal government authority over anything that is wet, as well as any activity on land that could affect water,” explained the North Carolina Coalition for Clean Water in a December 18 news release. “When the word ‘navigable’ is taken out, [it makes] everything federal water–without regard to volume and flow. That means gutters, ditches, seasonal wet spots, even groundwater.

Glenn Beck explains it best …

There is Nationwide Opposition

Oppose!

Heartland.org: Opposition to the federal proposal was expressed on December 5 when members of Congress, state legislators, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Property Rights Alliance, Partnership for America, and Americans for American Energy joined the National Farm Bureau Federation, American Property Coalition, and Western Business Roundtable on the steps of the Longworth House Office Building in Washington, DC.

Strong opposition also has been expressed outside of Washington in town meetings, state capitols, and newspaper editorials across the country. “The scope of this legislation is breathtaking,” said Larry Wooten, president of the North Carolina Farm Bureau. “It will raise costs for farmers and homeowners while also burdening state and local governments.”

“With these changes,” Youngberg said, “ordinary roadside ditches, stock tanks, and ponds would be subject to extensive regulation and permitting. Even low spots in fields farmed for decades would be subject to extensive reviews.”

Even John Dingle (D) doesn’t like it!

“Most of the ducks that migrate across our skies in the spring and fall are hatched and raised on prairies,” Dingell asserted. “Remove [the puddles] and you remove the ducks,” Dingell claimed.

And from the American Property Coalition:

Never before in the nation’s history has federal power reached so far! Included is a citizen lawsuit provision that allows anyone to sue you if they think your activity might affect water (defined as nearly dry land). Supporters include the Sierra Club, Earthjustice, Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council and dozens of other radical anti-property, anti-free market, and anti-use organizations. Go to the American Property Coalition site, there is a great deal more information on this subject there.

Liberty being Broken!

It is about control! Under the familiar guise of “save the earth” and “love the animals” … for OUR protection, the government is trying to take control of another KEY ASPECT of our lives … water! All water!  Before, the term “navigable waterway” defined the boundary of federal vs state control of water. With the changing of these two words, the federal government is reaching out to control the rain water you walk through on a cloudy day.  This legislations gives them control over ANYTHING affecting the water.  So to build something “near by” you will need over 100 permits from the EPA to prove that you will not be contaminating whatever “water” is in question.

• And what about “existing” water? There’s no grandfather clause … if the water is “suspected” to be contaminated by a nearby activity, (a cow urinating in a meadow?) … the activity can be “regulated!” Yes, because the bill’s wording states control of “lands adjacent to the water.” So the “control” climbs up onto the land  … its not only a “water grab” its a “land grab”too!
  

Keep Waking Up, America! The socialist coup which has happened was allowed to happen because of ignorance and apathy.  To S.T.O.P. it in its tracks, people are going to have to get off their duffs and start paying attention and getting involved.  Write your congressman and representative on this one immediately … talk about a supression of Liberty and Freedom … this one is HUGE!   Contact them now!  Here are the links.

• Write your Representative – House of Representatives
• Write your Senator – United States Senate

Tell Your [sleeping] Neighbor! How many of your neighbors (the people actually living next door) know about this power grab?  I’m betting VERY FEW if ANY!  So talk it up, tell them about it, the facts you need are above.  The only way we can fight socialism is to be sure that every American is “wide awake” and paying attention.  Wake them up with this one!

Stop The Obama Plan
