Potty-Mouth Talk From Barbara Mikuslksi

Of course this sort of thing is nothing unexpected from a pro-abortion, pro-sodomite "katholic-in-name-only" politician who has remained prominent only because she has betrayed her Church and Jesus Christ.  If ever there was a person in dire need of the medicine of Canon 915, Barbara Mikulski would be that quintessential patient.  Archbishop Lori of Baltimore, please take note as you are her bishop and are now answerable before God for her.  Granted the ultimate responsibility is hers, and you are inheriting quite a mess from your predecessors who demurred from their duty towards her.  Please take public action against her and yes, Governor Martin O'Malley too for the sake of their souls.

In her latest screed, she has referred to many of us as practitioners of perverted acts with her use of the term "tea-baggers".  What comes out of her mouth is just symptomatic of the garbage that festers within her.  Pray for her.  Also let's work for her defeat in 2016.

RINO Roll Call Of Infamy

As we all know by now, the Senate voted by a predictable margin of 55-45 to pass the House version of the funding bill - sans the provision to defund Obamacare.  Of course the real vote came earlier; that was the vote for or against cloture.  Ultimately the vote was for cloture, and then the results for the later vote were a given.

The Senate Conservatives Fund shows the list of traitors who stabbed not only Ted Cruz and friends in the back, but also each and every one of this.  Many of them are the "usual gang of suspects": John McCain, Lisa Murkowski, etc.  But Mitch McConnell?  Isn't he supposed to be the Republican Minority Leader in the Senate?

I'm sure at least a few of them are up for re-election in 2014.  They need to be defeated, with the rest going down in flames when they're up next.

Obama's Judicial Nominee Liu Is Sacked By Senate

Today the Senate voted against cloture on the filibuster against Godwin Liu, an Obama-nominated candidate for a federal judical seat.  The vote occurred mainly on party lines, with Lisa Murkowski being the lone Republican to vote for cloture.

The Lifenews article details the progressive and pro-abortion proclivities of Liu.  Apparently he believes the US Constitution is a "living document" but the unborn child is not a "living person".

I rejoice that the Senate Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, found their spines and stared down Dingy Harry.

Thank God For Gridlock!

For years now, the mainstream mindless media have accused conservatives in Congress of "gridlock" and "obstruction" with the same derision as one might use when talking of mass-murder or terrorist bombing.  But are "gridlock" and "obstruction" really all that "bad"?  Leaving aside all knee-jerk emotions that the libs want us to feel, I think we have to say "that depends".  On what?  Well, on the anticipated condition or event that is the target of such action. 

Sometimes "gridlock" and "obstruction" can be the only things that stand between us and certain destruction.  This is the case now.  While conservatives will hold the majority in the House starting January, there are still two months between now and then.  Pope Pelosi will be swinging that gavel with a vengeance since she'll soon lose it.  They will try to ramrod more onorous legislation through during this lame-duck session.  This legislaton will most likely be worthy targets of much-needed "gridlock" and "obstruction".  So bring it on!

The conservatives did not win control of the Senate, but they did net a significant gain.  That brings us to yet another word that the conservative senators must learn to live and love - "filibuster"!  They must be relentless about employing that tool when disgusting progressive nominations to judicial seats or other offices are placed before them.

The Creative Minority Report posted a piece called "I'm A Pro-Gridlock American."  Let's all wear that title with pride, and hold our newly-elected conservatives' feet to the fire to be "pro-gridlock" as well.

Good News! DISCLOSE Act Stalled

In a delightful show of spinal fortitude, the Republicans maintained their filibuster of the DISCLOSE Act (S.3628).  Many organizations, from the National Right to Life to the American Civil Liberties Union, see this as a virtual gag order and stifling of political speech.  Even the AFL-CIO has withdrawn its support.  Details are found at Lifesite News.

This raises hopes that the Senate Republicans can find it within themselves to maintain a filibuster when it comes time to vote on Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court.  She must be kept from that bench, and the Republicans must be encouraged (by us!) to stand firm.

GOP - Will They Filibuster??

Orrin Hatch of Utah really needs to snap out of it.  He is of the old RINO school in thinking that this matter of Elena Kagan is not much more than some genteel debate.  On Thursday, he eschewed the idea of a filibuster as "an unheard of, dirty thing to do".  Uh, no it isn't, Senator!  Not when you're talking of someone who is pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-First Amendment and anti- Second Amendment.   Fortunately, Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is open to the idea.  However, we need more teeth than that.

Ladies and gentlemen of the GOP, we are fighting for the soul of this nation.  We need you to roll up your sleeves, to be willing to get dirt under your fingernails, and to fight tooth and nail to keep this woman away from that Supreme Court bench.

There is some hopeful signs that they are waking up.  Hatch, to his credit, has stated that he would cast an opposing vote for her.  At least one pro-abortion senator is concerned enough about Kagan's lack of judicial experience and her activism that she will oppose Kagan (at least for now).

It is incumbent upon each and every one of us to contact our Senators to:: 1) voice opposition to Kagan, 2) urge the conservatives to filibuster her and 3) that your vote for the senator will depend on their resolve during this confirmation/opposition process.

GOP = Gutless Old Poops

So what is the latest manifestation of calcium deficiency in their spinal columns now?  It has to do with how they plan to (NOT!) fight the Kagan nomination.  Lifenews reveals that John Kyl, ranking Republican of the Senate Judiciary Committee is dismissing the tactic of filibuster in the Kagan case.  Says the Senator, "The filibuster should be relegated to the extreme circumstances, and I don't think Elena Kagan represents that."

What is necessary, in their opinions, to qualify as "extreme circumstances"?  Must the nominee in question be a reincarnation of Atila the Hun, or Adolf Hitler, or Joseph Stalin?

Ladies and gentlemen of the GOP, in case you haven't noticed, we are fighting for the soul of this country, if not civilization itself.  We certainly are fighting for the babies being slaughtered by the thousands everyday in this country.  Whether or not these seems like "extreme" statements, I defy any one of you to dispute the factual accuracy of them.  Lose the "country-club, oh-so-genteel" veneer and realize the stakes involved here.  If there is one thing you'd better learn from the Tea Party Movement, it's that the votes and support of conservatives can no longer be taken for granted; they must be earned.  With this most irresponsible statement of John Kyl's, you have done much to alienate true conservatives.  You'd better wake up and do your utmost to fight the Kagan nomination.  We won't forget this November.
