Why We Shouldn't be Supporting the U.N.

In case those flying saucers show up:

"The United Nations was set today to appoint an obscure Malaysian astrophysicist to act as Earth's first contact for any aliens that may come visiting."

A great video from Ms. Pia Varma, running for Congress in Pennsylvia.

Hmmmm....Interesting.....Obama Asking for Support for Obamacare

The Obama administration is working on an advertisement campaign for Obamacare.
The head of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships is asking for help from faith-based organizations--- “Make use of the resources described on this call: the website, door hangers, one pagers and so forth. We’ve got work to do.”

So what's the problem? Why is support for Obamacare plummeting?

Obama's promises seem to be disintegrating. For example, some insurance companies are not writing new policies. Why? Too much uncertainty about all the new regulations and rules. Because no one has bothered to read the bill, basically. Just like Ms. Pelosi said, "Just pass the bill"... and then we'll see what's in it.

Seniors are being hit, too. AARP will discontinue its prescription policy.

Ms. Pelosi, what else will we discover in this health care bill?

So, What is the Truth About "Those Jobs No American Would Do"?

Mr. Colbert appeared at the behest of Democratic Subcommittee head Zoe Lofgren to support the UAW's new campaign supporting illegal alien farm workers.
This is part of that common assertion that illegal aliens only do those jobs that Americans don't want to do.
Which is entirely untrue.
From recent research:
•Of the 465 civilian occupations, only four are majority immigrant. These four occupations account for less than 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce. Moreover, native-born Americans comprise 47 percent of workers in these occupations.
•Many jobs often thought to be overwhelmingly immigrant are in fact majority native-born:
◦Maids and housekeepers: 55 percent native-born
◦Taxi drivers and chauffeurs: 58 percent native-born
◦Butchers and meat processors: 63 percent native-born
◦Grounds maintenance workers: 65 percent native-born
◦Construction laborers: 65 percent native-born
◦Porters, bellhops, and concierges: 71 percent native-born
◦Janitors: 75 percent native-born

Bring in the Clowns

Today, the head of the Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship and Et-cetera, Representative Zoe Lofgren (Democrat-California) invited comedian Stephen Colbert to testify about illegal alien migrant workers.

Mr. Colbert spent 10 hours on a farm to prepare for his "testimony."

So, arriving on Capitol Hill, Mr. Colbert proceeded to perform a comedy skit (which IMHO was offensive and juvenile) for the edification of the Subcommittee members.

Representative Lofgren then thanked the "witnesses" whose "testimony" she deemed (quote) "helpful."

Methinks they are all clowns.....

Today: The First Day of Obamacare

Yesterday we looked at one of the casualties of Obamacare: Child-Only health care policies. http://politicopolitico.blogspot.com/2010/09/whod-have-thunk-latest-casualty-of.html

Some folks are now complaining that this decision is immoral, dishonest (insurance companies can't blame Obamacare for their not offering these Child-Only plans), and not a good turn of events for sick children.

On the last point, they are right.

But when the government demands that companies offer plans at a low cost to any child, no matter how sick they are (and face it, no child needs his/her own policy unless they are really ill) is ridiculous.

That company would go out of business lickety-split--and that would be the end of the child-only policy, just through a different means.

Hmmmmm.....

Republican Senators Wimp Out

Republican Senators, behind closed doors, decided NOT to remove Murkowski from her senior spot on the Energy Committee. http://politicopolitico.blogspot.com/2010/09/oooooooh-senator-murkowski-shot-down.html

Apparently, Senator DeMint (R-South Carolina) is the only one to think that her removal was an appropriate action.

Face it, Murkowski lost. Her write-in campaign is a slap in the face to Alaskan voters. And her phone calls to oil lobbyists for support --when she LOST the primary election--should be stopped by her colleagues in the Senate.

What are they scared of?
