Terrorism: Fort Hood Terrorism! An individual who is a Muslim carrying out a personal jihad! But we are being told by Pres. Obama not to jump to conclusions in relation to the Fort Hood tragedy. I was on a chatboard yesterday morning and there was someone who put forth that the rampaging shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's actions were due to mental problems. I have also read some Facebook comments as well trying to downplay the possible Islamic terrorism aspect.
As the old saying goes, "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck." It is being reported that Major Hasan yelled Allahu Akbar (God is great) right before he started shooting. Well as far as I am concerned, it's a duck. Read more here. Read about the victims which included a newlywed and a pregnant soldier here. Read also about Fort Hood hero Kimberly Munley here.

A Train Wreck I like Mike Huckabee. He is who I wanted to be the Republican presidential nominee last year. By the time the presidential primary came to Pennsylvania in late April, John McCain had won the nomination. To digress a little bit. At the PA state level Republican and Democrat law makers have a true bond of bi-partisanship when it comes to keeping the primary closed and not letting PA citizens be a part of the presidential primary voting on Super Tuesday one or two.
Mike Huckabee has called the election for the Representative of New York's 23rd Congressional district "a train wreck." I agree. In that congressional race Republican (but really a liberal leftist) candidate Deidre Scozzafava dropped out a few days before the election endorsing the Democrat candidate Bill Owens who won. Many noted Republicans like Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson and Rick Santorum supported third party conservative candidate Doug Hoffman. I admit conservative Republicans in the 23rd congressional district where faced with a dilemma, but I agree with Mr. Huckabee that third party candidates generally do not do well. He is right about third parties conservatives benefiting liberals.
From Republican Minority House Leader, Rep. John Boehner, Democrat House Leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi says, "government-run health care will require a monthly abortion premium." Rep. Bart Stupak has publicly stated in writing and on cable news channels that he is against government funding of abortion. He and 40 other Democrats want no governmnent, public funding for elective abortions through the health care bill.
Rep. Boehner says,
"Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover of health care does just that. On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.
What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan. It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.” The premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account - and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services."
I do not like the spiritual ramifications for this country concerning this abortion measure. Do you really think government, public funded abortion pleases the Lord? Read more about this here. Pray that this government spending for abortion is not successful.
Nancy Pelosi is pro-abortion and in relation to that, here is a repost of a video from almost 16 months ago on this blog of Nancy Pelosi speaking on abstinence being harmful.
The election outcomes of the 2 gubernatorial races and the one congressional race in upstate New York take center stage today. The conservative Republican party leadership is very happy with the gubernatorial victories in Virgnia and New Jersey. National Democrat leaders are saying the elections were local and do not speak to the Obama administration/policies.
Even though third party conservative candidate Doug Hoffman lost his congressional bid, conservative Republicans feel they have served notice on moderate rhino styled Republicans. Mr. Hoffman's second place showing was within respectable range for a third party candidate. Personally I am trying to go with the conservative Republicans' take on the outcome of this particular race, but it is a little hard.
Political third parties usually get in the way and Mr. Hoffman's lost gave the Democrats their first victory since the Civil War for that 23rd congressional district. Democrats love this Republican infighting that results in a victory for the Donkey Party. I feel the true blame goes to the local Republican leaders that gave the candidacy to extreme moderate i.e. downright leftist Deidre Scozzafava who eventually dropped out and threw her support to the Democrat victor Bill Owens. What were those Republican leader folks thinking?
The Bob McDonnell gubernatorial victory in Virginia was a given. He had a double digit lead in the polls. The voters returned Virginia back into the hands of the Republicans with Mr. McDonnell and voting in Republicans for other state offices. In New Jersey, it was continually being reported that Gov. Jon Corzine and Chris Christie were at a dead heat.
Pres. Obama coming in to campaign in the final days was reported to have helped Gov. Corzine according to polls a day before the election. That did not happen. Democrats say that Mr. Christie's victory over Gov. Corzine has no bearing on Pres. Obama and Democrat leadership. But Pres. Obama went to Jersey to stump for the Gov. Look what happened! It looks like his campaigning gave Chris Christie the bump he needed to get elected New Jersey's next governor.
The gubernatorial wins give Republicans increased hope for 2010 and give strong indication that they are not a dead party as many in my neck of the woods believe.
It's election day all across the country. In my neck of woods, the election is not considered a major one. I am voting for judges, tax collector, borough mayor, school board members and local etc. Regardless of political party and who and what is at stake, every registered voter should be doing their civic duty by casting their vote. Non voting excuses are not acceptable. Please get to your polling place and vote.
The governor's race in New Jersey and Virgina are in the national spotlight do to possible Republican victories. New Jersey Incumbent Governor Jon S. Corzine could lose to Republican challenger Chris Christie, but it is being reported that Pres. Obama's last minute campaigning for Gov. Corzine has given him a few percentage points over Mr. Christie in a few polls. Other poll have them neck in neck. Third party candidate Chris Daggett is proving to be thorn in both the sides of Gov. Corzine and Chris Christie. In Virgina Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell has kept a double digit lead in the polls over his Democrat opponent R. Creigh Deeds for some time.
Also in the national spotlight is the congressional race where the Republican candidate Dierdre Scozzafava has been deemed a rhino Republican who is even to the left of some Democrats has bowed out of the election just a couple of day ago and endorsed the Democrat candidate Bill Owens. She had received endorsements from Republican notables such as Newt Gingrich. 3rd party candidate Doug Hoffman who is very conservative received endorsements from notable Republicans such as Fred Thompson and Sarah Palin.
Eyes are upon this race to see if there will be a third party victory. Republicans already got served in the 2006 and the 2008 elections with a national Democrat Victory and now they may get served albeit a smaller serving, but nevertheless a stinging victory from the rejected conservative Doug Hoffman, because he is leading in the polls.

Kevin Puts It Together Here is a good one from Kevin Jackson of The Black Sphere. Painful truth that many can and/or will not accept especially in the black community about those we traveled down the liberal left road. So I am quite sure you know what names he is being called. The words from the mouths of elected, appointed officials and others such as Mark Lloyd, Communications Director Anita Dunn, Rep. Maxine Waters, Manufacturing Czar Ron Bloom, Former Labor Secretary and current Presidential Advisor Robert Reich and more indicate a political and economical view that is anything but free market capitalism.
Zo Keeps It Coming It's time to hear from Zo again. He breaks it down on conservative growth and leadership.

Here are a few controversial aspects to consider about the unveiled health care bill:
Raises Taxes on Middle Class Families - Up to 2.5 of individual taxpayer income earning as little as $9,350.
Massive Medicare Cuts to Seniors - Cuts hundreds of billions of dollars.
No Small Business Protection - Does not exempt small businesses from 8% "pay or play" employer mandate. Democrat leaders said it would.
Budget-Busting Cost Cleverly Hidden as the Debt Increases for Future Generations - Not deficit neutral as promoted by Democrat leaders. Costly provisions have been swept under the rug, including the $245 billion 'doc fix.'
Government-Run Insurance is the End All. Private Insurance Will Be a Thing of the Past by 2012 - Page 94 of the House Health Care Bill prohibits the sale of private health care plans after Dec 31, 2012. This will trigger job losts in the millions.
The End Of Life Counseling Also Known as Death Panels is Back in Place - Just think a government program telling you when to pull the plug on an elderly loved one.
