Warning to those who object to strong language--if you can't overlook that minor consideration, then don't read it.

Montana Townhall Packed with Obamanoids
Did you happen to catch CBS News' report on the Barack Obama townhall meeting in Montana yesterday?
If you didn't, you missed a rare display of honest reporting from Couric and company.
CBS actually reported that the townhall meeting was packed with Obama supporters. They even described how they accomplished this feat, given that Obama has so much opposition in the state.
Attendees had to get a ticket to get in. And the Dems gathered long before the line opened in order to gobble up tickets ahead of anyone else.
Thus, most of the opponents of ObamaCare were forced to hold their protests down the street, in a designated area. Only a few opponents of the Obama healthcare plan could get into the arena, due to the 'Democrat-packing.'
So now you know the real story. And yes, I am still trying with all my might to keep from fainting just knowing that this entire thing was reported on the CBS Evening News.

From a Reader...
A faithful reader of this blog sent me a copy of a letter he wrote to Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill on the ObamaCare debacle. He gave me permission to use it, and I decided I would.
I offer the letter without comment or response. It speaks for itself. And it represents the views of millions of us.
-----------------------
This is my response to Sen. MacCaskill on her appearance on The O'Reilly Factor where she said she asked people, at the town hall meeting, to raise their hands if they were on Medicare, then asked them to put down their hands if they wanted to see the program ended. She then used that example as public approval of government health care, even though they may say they do not want Health Care Reform as currently presented.
Letter to Claire MacCaskill 08/13/09- Disingenuousness about Medicare and Health Care Reform
You ignored one very important distinction in your example of Medicare recipients not wanting that program to be discontinued. They had no choice. Paying into the system was not voluntary. It was compelled by law. In many cases more than 50 years of collection for each worker. The bite is now about 20 percent, yeah, I know the employee part is a little less than eight per cent on the paycheck, but don't you think the empoyer's equal contribution affects wage rates?
Then a couple of decades ago, medicare was separated from the FICA taxes, not by diversion of already being collected funds, but by adding more percentage points of deduction from paychecks for employees or gross income from the small businessman. Not voluntary, so to insinuate that recipients of medicare are in favor of government-run health care is patently incorrect and may even be dishonest.
They had no choice about enrollment in the program. Now that they have reached the age where medical care is more likely to be needed and after decades of having the monies taken from them that they could have used to provide it for themselves, they have a right to expect that contract be honored. Now that it needs to be honored, the administration wants to reduce the likelihood of the cash cows receiving the benefits they were promised for their mandatory support of the system, since they are no longer producing. Even if it means they are denied the care their money has already been paid for.
Money that they could have used to provide health care or insurance for themselves, they have a right to expect that contract be honored.
So, cut the crap. You already know all this. Do not again equate governmental compulsion of citizens into a forced program with citizen approval of that government program. You must give people a choice before you can infer approval.
Not so respectfully,
Charles H. Sawders
Doddridge, Ar.

Citizen Protests Intensify; Dems Blast Constituents
The intensity of the citizen protest against the government takeover of healthcare kicked up a notch or two after Democrats began to blast their constituents.
Read all about it in my latest at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Nancy Pelosi even claimed that protesters were carrying swastikas! Not true!

Democrats' Bare-Faced Lies on Town Hall Protests
It seems we conservatives have the Democrats running scared. The lies emanating from the lips of some of the top Democrats in the country concerning the citizen outrage exhibited at various town hall meetings defy all logic.
Read all about it in my column today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
The statements from the likes of Barbara Boxer, 'Little Dick' Durbin, and Lloyd Doggett make one wonder where they've been when ACORN, MoveOn.org, and the New Black Panthers, etc. bussed in hordes to intimidate voters.

Yes, You CAN Make a Big Difference!
Never, ever underestimate the power and influence of an enraged electorate!
The citizens across America are storming the gates. Even in Los Angeles, a group of retired citizens, ages 55-85, invaded the offices of Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-California, demanding that she talk to them about the planned government takeover of healthcare.
These brave citizens refused to leave until Feinstein talked to them. So, what does the distinguished Senator do? She calls the cops to her retired constituents!
But the point is that all across America ordinary citizens are walking right up to their elected representatives and demanding a hearing concerning the multi-trillion-dollar government takeover of healthcare.
Perhaps that is why this article has gained so much attention!
You are making a difference! Keep up the pressure on Senators and Congressmen during the August recess!

FEINSTEIN CALLS POLICE TO RETIREES!
Retired constituents of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-California, found out the hard way that their elected representative was in no mood to hear their views on healthcare! Read this from the San Francisco Chronicle!

STOP CAP & TRADE IN U.S. SENATE!
Today we the citizens MUST get back to work to stop the ominous Cap and Trade bill that Democrats, Obama, and some Republicans want to shove down our throats.
Friends, this albatross will sink the economy at a time when we cannot withstand such a hit. Not only is it a bad concept, but the timing comes at the worst possible moment for the American economy.
Michelle Malkin has the latest on the battle in the U.S. Senate that starts TODAY.
Time to burn up the phone lines, faxes, and emails to let ALL Senators know that the citizens are OUTRAGED that they would even briefly consider such a sham. And let them know they WILL have hell to pay if they vote for this monstrosity that will cost over a million U.S. jobs and raise our taxes and energy costs by an extra $1300 to $3000 PER YEAR.
And be sure the RINOS get the message--John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and others of their ilk who will sell out the citizens in order to 'cut a deal' with the devil.
