Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Janice Shaw Crouse of Concerned Women for America, the nation's largest public policy women's organization, points out the report also expresses concern about right-wing extremists' reaction to the election of President Obama.

"What unconscionable guilt by association," she said. "It is the worst sort of extremism for a government agency to stir up fear against those groups who hold biblical views on social issues" - identified by the department as "abortion, inter-racial crimes and same-sex marriage."

Ms. Crouse told Inside the Beltway that the DHS report is "an unbelievable bit of arrogance and incomprehensible ignorance of mainstream American values and people."

QUARTER-TON GIPPER

The U.S. Capitol Rotunda statue of former President Ronald Reagan will be unveiled June 3 and the entire congressional leadership says it will join former first lady Nancy Reagan for the unveiling.

On the Democratic side, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as well as Republican leaders Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. John A. Boehner, have all confirmed their attendance.

The statue will become part of the National Statuary Hall Collection, composed of statues donated by the 50 states to honor notable persons in each state's history. The nonprofit Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation led efforts to donate a statue after California state legislators in 2006 unanimously approved a resolution to send a statue of the "Gipper" to the U.S. Capitol.

Artist Chas Fagan of North Carolina sculpted the bronze likeness, which measures 7 feet high and weighs 500 pounds.

You are exactly right 4US. This is all part of a one world socialist agenda. Most people have forgotten Hillary's little essays, ramblings, etc. about "It Takes A Village." This is exactly what she was promoting while Slick Willie was Doodling around in the Oral Orifice (sp intentional). Thanks, and I will pass this on.

Obama and control
Just what aspect of our daily lives does President Obama NOT want to control? Four years of this will be more than the country can survive.
