Cantor One Of GOP’s “Most Impressive Young Leaders”
Posted by Project Virginia
Posted at ProjectVirginia - Where Politics Meets Social Media
In a WSJ Opinion Journal e-mail newsletter, Brian Bolduc referred to Minority Whip Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) as one of the GOP’s “most impressive young leaders.” In the post, Bolduc is critical of two Texas Republicans who were unable to clearly explain what the GOP would do if it regained Congress. However, Bolduc praised Cantor as a “refreshing alternative.” Cantor told Bolduc, “Republicans do have an agenda ready to roll should they win the majority — it’s the one they offered last year in response to President Obama’s stimulus package. We crafted a proposal in response to the stimulus plan that would have given small businesses a 20 percent tax cut. That’d be the first piece of the legislation that I’d advocate we put on the floor on the House. Quickly thereafter or simultaneously we would put a bill on the floor which would reduce the size of the federal work force and freeze pay increases.” This is no surprise to Virginians

Clinton appointee US District Judge Susan Bolton issued a temporary injunction stopping five parts of Arizona’s legal attempts to do what the Federal Government won’t do – stop illegal immigration. According to news sources , those five parts are the following: 1. Requiring police officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws. Bolton says that’s troublesome because “burdens lawfully present aliens because their liberty will be restricted while their status is checked.” By that logic, handgun waiting periods are unconstitutional because law-abiding handgun buyers will be restricted while their status is checked, right?

Well, how about that. It appears that privately insured Americans are using fewer medical services these days. Patient visits, drug prescriptions and procedures were down in the second quarter of 2010 compared to year-ago levels, reports the Wall Street Journal . Weak demand could put downward pressure on spiraling health care costs and insurance premiums, the WSJ suggests. And what could be behind this remarkable change

Unemployed online: organizing against Republicans!
Posted by J.C. Wilmore
Posted at The Richmonder -
This is a very interesting development: Sometime this spring, Republicans turned against unemployment. In Nevada, Sharron Angle (R), the candidate facing incumbent Sen. Harry Reid (D), told local reporters, “You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job.” (Untrue.) Angle also called the unemployed “spoiled.” Rand Paul, a candidate for a Kentucky Senate seat, made similar statements, and politicians in Washington followed suit. Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said on C-SPAN that extending unemployment would discourage “individuals that are out there to actually go out and go through the interviews.” But unlike most comments from politicians, these criticisms did not diffuse into the generic noise of political chatter

Photo from Senator Graham’s website For a moment I thought about ending this post with no text and only the above picture. After all, one could write page after page about Senator Graham and only begin to scratch the surface on how he has betrayed the citizens of South Carolina, the nation, the Constitution, and the conservative movement. When I head the news that four Republican Senators were now supporting the confirmation of Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court, I instantly knew that Snowe and Collins (both from Maine) would be among them. The other two proved to be a bit trickier. Lugar (Indiana), I might of guessed but didn’t. Then we have Senator Lindsey Graham (South Carolina). This guy keeps making news for all of the wrong reasons. Certainly there have been some surprises with Supreme Court nominees in the past, nevertheless, Graham’s sad eagerness to readily endorse Obama’s picks of Sotomayor and now Kagan is deeply troubling. Having twice been censured by the SCGOP thus far, one wonders how he has been able to win the Republican nomination. One thing is for sure. If he is a conservative, as he claims, then I assure you the movement is doomed. Please, please, please South Carolina voters. I’ve met many of you during my work in your state. You have elected one of the best and also one of the worst Senators in the country. Can’t you find someone who better represents your values than Grahamnesty?

I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, you people in whose heart is My law: Do not fear the reproach of men, Nor be afraid of their insults, for the moth will eat them up like a garment, And the worm will eat them like wool; but My righteousness will be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.”

Last week’s walk through the Bible, Wednesday and Thursday, went through 2 Kings 19, 20 and 2 Chronicles 32 as well as Isaiah 37, 38 and 39. Hezekiah’s life ends – as I noted before. Then cometh, Friday, the triumphant Isaiah 40. Prophesy of John the Baptist. “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust in the earth in a measure? Weighted the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?” And, trumpet fanfare, “But those that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall walk and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 41. “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 42 and 43. Fear not, for I have redeemed you: I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned.” “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember my sins.”

From Huffingtonpost.com : On his Monday radio show, Glenn Beck highlighted claims that before he started targeting a little-known, left-leaning organization called the Tides Foundation on his Fox News TV show, “nobody knew” what the non-profit was. Indeed, for more than a year Beck has been portraying the progressive organization as a central player in a larger, nefarious cabal of Marxist/socialist/Nazi Obama-loving outlets determined to destroy democracy in America. Beck has routinely smeared the low-profile entity for being staffed by “thugs” and “bullies” and involved in “the nasty of the nastiest,” like indoctrinating schoolchildren and creating a “mass organization to seize power.” As Media Matters reported , the conspiratorial host had mentioned (read: attacked) the little-known progressive organization nearly 30 times on his Fox program alone since it premiered in 2009, including several mentions in the last month. (Beck’s the only TV talker who regularly references the foundation, according to our Nexis searches.) So yes, Beck has done all he can to scare the hell out of people about the Tides Foundation and “turn the light of day” onto an organization that actually facilitates non-profit giving.
