Porker of the Month

 

Porker of the Month:  Rep. Maxine Waters

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) has named Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) Porker of the Month for provoking a tussle with House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) over her intention to obtain an earmark for the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center, a facility within the Los Angeles school system.  Rep. Waters’ grandiose gesture is a reminder that Congress still has not banned the practice of earmarking taxpayer funds for pork projects, including monuments, academic facilities, roads, airports and water projects, that are named after themselves.  Rep. Obey appears to grasp that such narcissistic expenditures fuel the negative image of Congress and is proactively trying to keep them out of the fiscal year 2010 appropriations bills, particularly since Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) has successfully attached amendments to ban such projects to several appropriations bills.  To placate Rep. Waters' need for recognition and the desire of some members of Congress to leave behind a living legacy, even one that is built with pork-barrel earmarks, CAGW happily obliges, endowing Rep. Waters with the coveted June Porker of the Month.    Read more about the Porker of the Month.

Obama's Foreign Policy

What exactly is Obama's Foreign Policy?

Iran
He was way behind the curve on Iran. People dying in the streets and he didn't want to get involved. The very weak statement he made at the beginning of the uprising or demonstrations were not the American way of thinking. We have always supported freedom. Obama used the word "justice" what in the hell is he talking about. He finally came out with a stronger message, but gave no real support to the Iranians dying in the streets. Just a bunch of rhetoric.  Then he says meeting with the Iranians are still on the table. WTF?

Honduras
Obama seems to be taking the wrong side in this mess. Obama, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro are all on the side of the ousted President of Honduras who was trying an end run around his countries constitution. He wanted to extend his time in office, even though it was illegal. Now, Obama comes out and supports this would be dictator. What the hell is he thinking?

It  boggles the mind.  This is America, not Chicago. Playing politics for your personal glory will not be something the American people will tolerate for long. I am so tired of seeing his a** on TV every night, mostly live. It's like he just can't do his job without the TV cameras covering every aspect of the "star's" life.  Get on with your job, listen to people who know what is going on in the world and stop with the "new way of thinking", it is going no where. You don't coddle dictators. Justice my A**.

Just listen to the argument and make up your own mind. The MSM is trying hard to bury this lady and make her seem like a fool

Congrats, congresspeople, you helped the Democrats pass a junk science-based, massive national energy tax. Headed to Disney World now?

We still want to know: What were your payoffs/earmarks?

My syndicated column below slams the EPA for suppressing inconvenient truths about Obama’s politicized global warming agenda. As I blogged early Wednesday afternoon, the Competitive Enterprise Institute released e-mails detailing how eco-bureaucrats stifled a senior researcher who challenged the agency’s reliance on outdated data to support its greenhouse gas “public endangerment” finding. Read the whole thing.

One huge hoax to push a political agenda. No other facts will be permitted except those we determine to be true and worthy of print... "The Messiah"

Email from ACT

Dear ACTivist,
The other day I sent around the article below about how some bureaucrat in the State of Maine fined an anti-Jihad group for offending Moslems. Please reread the article and then send an email with your comments to the government official who is responsible for this, Elaine Thibodeau. Give her a quotation or two from the Koran and Muhammad so that she will learn a little about Islam. Here is her email address:
Elaine.M.Thibodeau@Maine.gov Please send copy of your email to:
Jeffrey.M.Frankel@Maine.gov and governor@maine.gov.
 
Thank you for your ACTivism!

Today, I spoke to my colleagues on the House Floor about the Democrat Cap-and-Tax bill that will be voted on later this afternoon. I appreciate all who have called me with your opinions about the legislation, and I will continue to come out strong against this bad policy.
