There’s no CBO count as promised on Wednesday, but the word is that they are desperately trying to get the monster genie stuffed back into a three sizes too small lamp. No matter what the Congressional Budget Office does, it can’t make this trillion dollar boondoggle revenue neutral.

Dennis Kucinich (D) Ohio was a really cheap vote and he sold his for the price of a plane ride. His speech reminded me of Britain’s WW-2 Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, when he returned from Berlin waving a piece of paper with Hitler’s signature on it, raving that he had obtained ‘peace in our time’ while Hitler’s war machine was even then poised on the borders of Poland. Dennis Kucinich is a sellout to his country and to his stated principles… difficult though they may be to find.

Several other Democrat Representatives have responded to the intense pressure being applied by the White House and the party leadership, including Anne Kirkpatrick (Ariz) and Gabrielle Giffords (Ariz). Wonder what the bribe was there? Also, Dan Maffei (N.Y.), Dan Kildee (Mich.), Jim Oberstar (Mich), Raul Grijalva (Ariz.). These folks are going to have to account not only to their consciences but their constituents as well.

Call the Representatives on the list below… call the ones listed above… they can be influenced right up to the last moment. E-mail, fax, write, or best of all for those of you who can’t get to Washington D.C., visits to your local Representatives’ and Senators’ offices are very effective. These Congress critters are going to be heading home for the Easter break very soon. I have the distinct impression from everything I’m hearing that it’s going to be a very hot time when these people try to justify themselves to the citizens of this country.

The house Madame called all of the Democrat women Representatives to her office for a private tete a tete. One wonders if she wore her dominatrix outfit for the occasion.
The Democrat leadership is saying that they can’t look for a vote before Saturday and most likely Sunday.
Rush Limbaugh’s call for patriots to call the Capitol and the Congress resulted in far more than a half a million calls in virtually one day.
Keep the heat on. Don’t let up. We are Americans… we don’t give up… we don’t quit.

Abuse of pain pills by troops concerns Pentagon

WASHINGTON — The military is trying to curb the volume of narcotics given to troops as the number of prescriptions for painkillers and instances of drug abuse continue to soar, according to Pentagon data and recent congressional testimony.
Military doctors wrote almost 3.8 million prescriptions for pain relief for servicemembers last year — more than four times the 866,773 doses handed out in 2001, according to data from the Pentagon health office.

Great. Now the returning troops will be druggies, ready-made to live in the streets of our liberal cities since the good suburban conservatives won’t help them.

So much for the “Support Our Troops” magnets.

A clear pattern is emerging in America that cities in this nation are banning home bible studies, even if it was a large family at Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter where they just shared verses and prayed together. They are not banning scout meetings, football parties or any other group meetings in the home, they are specifically targeting Bible studies which are predominantly Christian.

This is how the Soviet Union, Cuba and The Peoples Republic of China and of course Muslims nations treat Christians meeting in their homes. This is a war against the Church, they want only registered churches that they can control.

A southern California city has ordered a Friday night Bible study involving about a dozen people to shut down its meetings by Good Friday or members could face financial sanctions.

However, in the case involving Rancho Cucamonga, legal experts who have come in to help Bible study members say the city knows it’s targeting for banishment a Bible study and they are “not budging.”

In the previous cases, San Diego County officials apologized after a code enforcement officer tried to shut down a Bible study and in Gilbert, officials told WND last week that they were working on a change in a zoning requirement that had been interpreted by staff members to ban Bible studies from residences.

The new case is alarming because of the apparent intentional decision by the city to pursue the closure of the Bible study, according to Brad Dacus, whose Pacific Justice Institute is working on the case.

The city recently dispatched a letter to the homeowner insisting the study is not allowed because it is a “church,” Dacus said. In the city, churches are required to obtain a “Conditional Use Permit” in residential areas.

”According to their definition a family praying over their dinner would qualify as a church,” he told WND.

The precedent that would be created should the rule stand, he said, should alarm religious people across the nation.

”When you step back and look at communist China, home churches are being persecuted there. This isn’t any different. And this isn’t even a church, just a Bible study, facing the same ultimatums, the same demands as in communist China.

“Make no mistake, if we let the city of Rancho Cucamonga get away with this, it will be a green light to every other city in the U.S,” he said.

The city, however, has no similar restrictions for Monday night football parties or various other events that would be held in homes, PJI confirmed.

A soldier has a live RPG round stuck in him and instead of following protocol which would have most likely been fatal, his fellow soldiers save him at great risk to themselves.

Thank God we have such selfless heroes.

Walgreens: no new Medicaid patients as of April 16
Walgreens will stop taking new Medicaid patients in Washington state as of April 16, saying it loses money filling their prescriptions.

Effective April 16, Walgreens drugstores across the state won’t take any new Medicaid patients, saying that filling their prescriptions is a money-losing proposition — the latest development in an ongoing dispute over Medicaid reimbursement.

The company, which operates 121 stores in the state, will continue filling Medicaid prescriptions for current patients.

In a news release, Walgreens said its decision to not take new Medicaid patients stemmed from a “continued reduction in reimbursement” under the state’s Medicaid program, which reimburses it at less than the break-even point for 95 percent of brand-name medications dispensed to Medicaid patents.

It’s either a testament to Rob Port’s free speech dedication (despite his banning of 3 of the “Deadly Seven” in comments) or a comment on asshat monomania, but either way it’s something to note.

What, you say?

Well, it seems that one of the leftards here just posted his 2,000th Guest Blog Entry.

Well, 2,001st to be technically accurate.

Still a perfect record as well, as our resident part time racist still has zero front page promotions and zero sense for all those 2,001 blog posts.

Monomania it is!

Here’s the interview:

The Daily Caller: Yesterday you said the self-executing rule was unconstitutional. Is that correct?

Mike Pence: Well I think it’s probably unconstitutional. I know that there are leading legal scholars who believe it is unconstitutional. My background in law and constitutional issues suggests to me it’s unconstitutional. The whole idea is that Article 1, Section 7 clearly states that a bill must be passed by the House of Representatives and passed by the Senate to become law.

...The DC: My question is, though, that Democrats say you voted for self-executing rules yourself on three occasions.

MP: Yeah, sure.

Yes, I know all of you here at SAB that want to have sex with children and all your idiotic arguments. The truth is, more and more children in our hyper-sexualized society, even 5-year-olds are being promoted as sexual objects, and more and more younger children are getting pregnant.

Here is what I find interesting in this sex with children culture, in Holland a liberal country, pregnancy rates are much lower among these children because the state says, we are not going to support you, live at home. That is right, the parents cannot teach and control their children, make them and them alone foot the bill until the little mother is 18. Maybe that will cause more parents to do a hell of a lot more than just say no, maybe they will do what it takes to keep their daughters from being raped by older male sexual predators.

Don’t worry, here we are more than willing to kill their babies for them!

Children who have sex under the age of 16 should be prosecuted for breaking the law, a senior Tory has said.

Shadow children’s minister Tim Loughton held out the prospect of criminalizing teenage mothers as he warned there were now no consequences for those who had irresponsible underage sex.

’[It is] against the law to get pregnant at 14. How many kids get prosecuted for having underage sex? Virtually none. ‘Where are the consequences of breaking the law and having irresponsible underage sex? There aren’t any.’

Asked if was advocating more prosecutions, Mr Loughton said: ‘We need to be tougher. Without sounding horribly judgmental, it is not a good idea to be a mum at 14. ‘You are too young, throwing away your childhood and prospects of developing a career.’

‘It’s widely recognized and accepted that young people are having sex at an earlier age. The notion of criminalizing that activity, and in particular criminalizing motherhood at any age, is abhorrent.’ (

)

But sociologist and author Patricia Morgan said: ‘The age of consent is there to protect children up to a certain age because they can’t necessarily judge things for themselves.

‘I agree with Tim Loughton that we should be sending a message out. There should be more prosecutions.

‘When I was growing up, young men were very frightened about going all the way with girls under the age of 16. ‘Now we are just telling children they can be sexually active whenever they are ready and we will make it safe for you.

‘Certainly if somebody over the age of 16 has sex with someone under 16, there should be automatic prosecution. There is a lot of evidence that most teenage girls who get pregnant aren’t having sex with boys their age - it’s older teenagers and men in their 20s.

Despite latest figures showing a slight decline in the number of pregnancies among the under-16s, more younger girls are becoming pregnant. ‘Instances of 12- and 13-year-olds has risen, and what is really alarming are the figures showing a huge percentage rise of second-time abortions by underage girls,’ Mr Loughton said.

The shadow minister blamed sex education, state support for teenage mothers and media portrayals of young motherhood.

‘Contrast us with Holland, which has one-sixth the rate of teenage pregnancies,’ he said. ‘It is not an illiberal society about sex. There’s more overt sex education there, but also a bigger story. If you are a 15-year-old single mum, you don’t get benefits or a flat. It is assumed you will be supported by your parents.’

He added that there ‘needs to be a fightback against the easy lifestyles portrayed in the media’.
