Medicare Director Won't ID Donors To Think Tank

I am back blogging now after a few weeks off due to a computer virus and working on a big project.  Dr. Donald Berwick is a great candidate for my first "post virus" blog post.  Maybe he is within his rights not disclosing these particular donors but it is hard to tell since he wasn't scrutinized through the Congressional hearing process.  Anyway it always looks bad when people in public office don't disclose funding sources because such sources sometimes say more about them and their organizations than words ever could.

Shelby County Democrats Will Contest Election - WREG

Shelby County Democrats Will Contest Election - WREG It's official!  If they were so interested in integrity of the process, why didn't they get new machines in time for the 2008 election?  Or the election before that? Or the election before that?  The Democrats have had control here in Shelby County for years and  had every chance in the world to fix the system yet they did nothing about it.  Now that they have lost big time they want to cry foul and whine and scream about getting new machines and election integrity!

The only hope for election integrity is honesty on all sides and efforts to ensure the integrity of the voting process.  We here in Shelby County have been demanding new machines for years, at least ever since the 2000 elections and the dangling chad debacle.  Yet we have never purchased them.  Why?

The Muslim Hijacking of Ground Zero | Culture Wars


The Muslim Hijacking of Ground Zero | Culture Wars This article is the best I have seen yet explaining why we should never, ever allow a mosque to be built anywhere near Ground Zero. What I do not understand is why New Yorkers haven't taken to the streets over this issue. If you don't have time to read the whole article (and you should make time) read this quote, as it sums up everything perfectly:


The common denominator is that Muslims do not just make war on lands or bodies-- but on memory itself. Their goal is to make people forget what came before their colonization. To distort the history and traditions that are meaningful to them, and replace them with a distorted Islamized version of history. The Muslim "tolerance" in Spain, the Palestinian Arab "refugees" and the Muslim "contributions" to science, are all examples of that revisionist history, in which oppression becomes tolerance, repression becomes knowledge, and the oppressors become the victims.
Ground Zero is not only the central point of the Muslim massacre of 3000 people. It is also the central point of thememory of that massacre. The area is the place where people come to remember what happened. To see, to hear and to pay tribute to the dead. Which is exactly why Muslims are determined to hijack it for their own purposes, with a highly visible mosque and their own 9/11 museum that will feature a radically altered version of history. What they are after is the equivalent of putting up a Holocaust Revisionism museum outside the Holocaust museum.
There is no legitimate reason for the Cordoba House. As I have already documented, the current mosque draws most of its worshipers from outside the area. There is no significant Muslim population in Downtown Manhattan that needs to have its own 100 million dollar community center. The only reason for building something on this scale, is because of its proximity to Ground Zero. The Ground Zero mosque is aimed at the hijacking of memory, not of Muslims, but of non-Muslims. It is meant to serve as part of the Muslim narrative spread after 9/11 that exonerates Muslims from all blame, while pointing the finger at America and the Jews instead. Which is why the ADL and the Wiesenthal Center have both come out against the Ground Zero Mosque, regardless of the vicious attacks directed at them by liberals for daring to stand up to Muslim colonization and bigotry.

Michelle Malkin � Obama’s Recorded Message to Boy Scouts Centennial Wasn’t Warmly Received

Michelle Malkin � Obama’s Recorded Message to Boy Scouts Centennial Wasn’t Warmly Received I could have understood him missing the Centennial if there had been a national emergency but he chose to go on The View with Joy Behar instead.

He should have been at the Centennial.

And yet with his narcissistic, anti-American, Marxist views, maybe it is best he stayed away.

A Day in the Life of a Poll Worker in Shelby Co, TN (Memphis)

Election Day From Hell � Blue Collar Republican Republicans swept the county and local elections August 5th, even in predominately democratic areas. Shelby County TN is a blue county so this is pretty amazing. In fact it is so unusual and unprecedented that at least one Demoratic candidate is crying foul. Democratic candidate for sheriff, Randy Wade, refuses to concede and may call for an FEC investigation. Blue Collar Republican describes some electronic SNAFU's that may give fuel to an investigation. Hopefully they can get all this straightened out by the next election but otherwise I am thankful that this election went smoothly without any evidence of threat or intimidation. In fact the state of TN had it's highest turnout ever for early voting--over half a million voters! Power to the people!

A Wonderful Mark Luttrell Robo-Call

A Wonderful Mark Luttrell Robo-Call Mark Luttrell is the Republican candidate running for Shelby County Mayor in the Greater Memphis TN area. This "robocall" comes from his opponent Joe Ford. It is a great example of how a negative ad can turn positive--for the other side! Mark Luttrell couldn't have written a better ad for himself so now he benefits from free advertising--ha! Just an example of how negative campaigning can backfire. The primary elections are today so go vote!!!!!!!

Hot Air � Missouri pops the ObamaCare-media bubble

Hot Air � Missouri pops the ObamaCare-media bubble Well look what we have here. Missouri voters overwhelmingly told Obamacare to take a hike! It will be interesting to see how other states respond. But maybe those polls indicating an increase in popularity are a bit premature?

Illegal immigrant who killed nun in accident was released by feds - Washington Times

Illegal immigrant who killed nun in accident was released by feds - Washington Times This happened in Prince William County, Virginia and is poised to become a high profile immigration case, that is if the mainstream media cares to report it. This is a very tragic case and I do hope it becomes a lightning rod for immigration reform.  As tragic as it is, however, it is one of hundreds of thousands of similar cases that happen all the time across the nation.  This case and others like it highlight the desperate need for real reform that can actually solve problems, secure the borders and protect citizens. One thing that is crystal clear is that Immigration Reform needs to start with THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ENFORCING THE LAW.  Why this hasn't happened is anybody's guess.  But it needs to happen now, before more people are killed.
