Wonder why the so-called Blue Dog Democrats are acting just like the lap-dog "Republicans"?
Well, surprise, surprise! It's the SAME reason! They've been bought off. Here's another one:

Frank Schaeffer
How prophetic can you get?
In my August 14, 2009 posting I asked you to watch this amazing video from October 13, 2008 in which Frank Schaeffer (Author of "Crazy for God") discusses his awakening to the scary truth about Christian fundamentalism in America. Namely, the very people who screamed about "Patriotism" and "American Values" during the "Bush Years" were, in fact, working and praying for Armegheddon. And still are.
Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_kaszMME3o
Now, 11 months later and following the election of Barack Obama, listen to the interesting but scary 'update' to Mr. Schaeffer's opinion following the 'Czar', abstinance and other issues:

President Obama's Speech
Did you hear President Obama talk about a woman who, just days before her double mastectomy, had her insurance policy 'rescinded' (cancelled) because of prior ACNE? Well, here she is in her own words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT_2GjSkzHE .
As you will see in the comments section below the video, some people are STILL critical. I couldn't believe it so I had to respond to ONE of them:
1) I am responding to your comments on the case of Robin Beaton.
2) Please tell me what you think Ms. Beaton did wrong to "deserve" the treatment she got.
3) What, EXACTLY, will prevent YOU from getting your insurance cancelled in similar circumstances?
4) Have you even read constitution? Here is the preable: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America". Can you tell me what "we the people", "insure domestic tranquality" and "promote the general welfare" ACTUALLY mean? Particularly in light of such a basic, human, need as health care?
President Obama also made reference to Sen. Ted Kennedy's last letter to him. Here it is:
http://thepage.time.com/text-of-kennedy-letter-to-obama/. Read it. It's short and comes from a man who knew he was dying and writing his last letter (to President Obama).

MOST IMPORTANT U.S. Supreme Court Case in Decades, MAYBE FOREVER!
You probably had no idea that today, September 9, 2009, one of the most important cases in U.S. Supreme Court history was being 'argued'. In fact, there is probably less than a 1 in 10 chance you would have heard about it in our corporation-controlled media; ESPECIALLY not on FOX.
"What case?" you might ask. http://money.aol.com/article/supreme-court-to-consider-citizens/598326?icid=sphere_wsj_teaser (The "Citizens United" case.)
First, ask yourself: "Did you know that multi-national corporations have the same rights (and more) as you have?" For example 'free' speech and the other freedoms granted under our U.S. Constitution. Did you know that? (The answer is: "Yes". But only recently. Our founding fathers knew the dangers of unrestricted corporate 'life' and power. In fact, many of our states' early laws prohibited them from 'living' longer than 20 years because they knew the dangers ... that we simply ignore now.)
According to PBS's Bill Moyers: The Supreme Court is returning early from its summer recess to consider a potential watermark case that could overturn a century of campaign finance restrictions and clear the way for unregulated spending by corporations on political campaigns.
What does this mean to you?
Well, if you think that corporate BRIBERY of our politicians is bad now, just wait until (GW Bush's) U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice (and former corporate 'rights' attorney) John Roberts removes ALL restrictions from corporate spending in political campaigns.
How will you, the citizen, be able to ... in ANY way ... offset the power of corporations that can 'donate' millions or hundreds of millions of dollars to local and national campaigns? You won't. That will be "IT" ... the end ... of our country's experiment as a 'Representative Democracy'.
It will mean that corporations, who have ONLY ONE objective .... making more and more MONEY, will have finally and completely have taken over our government. (And, say 'Goodbye' to your ability to influence any-thing.)
To make matters worse ... and ESPECIALLY for my Conservative Friends ... this case was EXPANDED in scope and reach by CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS! Talk about "Activist" judges!! Somehow, though, I'd bet that you will hear NOT ONE word about such activism by Rush, Mitch McConnell, Boehner and the like ...
This is truly a scary case for democracy in America ... and you've heard NOTHING about it on virtually any of our electronic, CORPORATE-controlled, media.
The origins of this case go back to a 1971 letter written by then soon-to-be-nominated U.S. Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell to the U.S. Chamber of commerce:
http://reclaimdemocracy.org/corporate_accountability/powell_memo_lewis.html
Powell's letter was hidden from the Senate during confirmations and he was appointed. Later, he helped in the granting of 'Personhood' to corporations and in the consequent granting of "Free Speech Rights" to corporations .... and later in the equating of bribery (corporate "Campaign Donations") with "Free Speech".

Is Your Health Insurance Carrier One of these 6 Companies?
PacifiCare(United Health Care) -- Cigna -- HealthNet --Kaiser Permanente --Blue Cross --Aetna
If so, you might want to know that, in California at least, "DEATH PANELS" are REAL .... but they run .... NOT by the government, but by the people (corporations) who are spending MILLIONS in a mostly successful effort to FOOL Americans about 'Universal Health Care'.
Read this simple, one page press release:

This is a HUGE Issue
The question is this: WHY AREN'T ANY OF THE PFIZER EXECUTIVES GOING TO JAIL? They just got fined $2,300,000,000 for FRAUD.
You can thank people like Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts (appointed by George Bush) and all the other corporate "facilitators" for creating this problem:
