Obama administration creates green jobs in China. Excerpt: The Obama administration is hoping a shift to renewable energy will inject new life into the U.S. manufacturing base and provide high-paying jobs, making up for losses in other sectors. But while the U.S. has poured money into renewable energy through tax credits and other subsidies, China has positioned itself to reap many of the benefits by ramping up its export machine.

Health Care Reform Plan That Will Prove To Be The Game Changer

Don’t think so. The Leftstream Media has its narrative—the GOP is the party of No and has proposed nothing—and they’ve successfully ignored GOP proposals to date. Impossible to break through to the mass of uninformed cool-aide drinkers. Excerpt: Mark my words - tomorrow is the game changer! Tune in to hear common sense solutions that bury the false accusations that conscientious members of Congress have no solutions to meet America's health care challenges. If you're like me, shaking your head wondering why all the miscommunication between Washington and the American people who have been saying, "Please hear what we're saying about our desire for health care reform," then tomorrow will be a refreshing time of clarity for all. All Americans, and especially colleagues of House Republican Leader John Boehner: please listen to tomorrow's weekly GOP national address. Rep. Boehner will highlight a common sense alternative to Speaker Pelosi's 1,990-page government takeover of health care. I urge you to watch for it. For a preview, go to: http://HealthCare.GOP.gov You'll hear solutions. You'll hear of real choices based on America's proven free-market principles. You'll know once and for all what the GOP and Independents have been saying all along about alternatives to another big government take over. After tomorrow, you'll know that accusations against the GOP and Independents for not providing solutions are false. Those claims are bogus. There are alternatives. Tune in to Rep. Boehner's address tomorrow to hear them. I look forward to the game changer! - Sarah Palin

New Brighton wife tried to kill husband over Muslim principles, cops allege

Islamic Equal Rights. Excerpt: STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A 37-year-old wife from New Brighton tried to slit her husband’s throat as he slept because he was not the devout Muslim she believed she married, and pressured her to eat pork and drink alcohol, authorities allege. In a rambling, four-page handwritten confession, Rabia Sarwar laid out the “mental and emotional cruelty” that led to her trying to kill her husband, Susan Wagner High School teacher Sheikh Naseem, early yesterday morning, a law enforcement source said. “I tried my best to cut his throat,” Ms. Sarwar admitted, according to court papers. Except Naseem woke up during the attempt, and took the knife from her, authorities said. (Guess she missed the part about Islam being a Religion of Peace.)

A Salute to Denmark...Keep Her Free!

Old but worth reading. Excerpt: In Denmark, once-liberal immigration policies have forced huge governmental change and zero tolerance for Muslim immigrants intent on turning Denmark into an Islamic welfare haven.

Somali women beaten for violating Islamic law, officials say

Gee if the White House says they are unbiased, maybe I’ve been wrong.

The Attorney Enrichment Act of 2009
http://oraculations.blogspot.com/2009/10/attorney.html
Excerpt: I am a patient at a socialized medical facility known as The VA. The government picks up most of the tab for most things and covers most things other than cosmetic surgery, self inflicted wounds, and diseases connected with drug abuse and alcoholism (but not drug abuse and alcoholic abuse), and will not prescribe medical marijuana. The VA was forced to curtail many many services due to the huge numbers of indigent drifters and mentally disturbed persons claiming ills that were mostly imaginary. The crowds grew til basically the VA system couldn't function. It is these "untouchable" patients that will multiply by the millions and overrun any system in the U.S. until we are forced into health care rationing. Worse, is the ill tempers and psychotic behavior of these "poor" people who threaten doctors, nurses, and staff with continual physical violence. These mobs finally got so bad at the VA facility that real live armed guards were posted at all entrances and stationed in many hallways. Only the sudden curtailment of funds in the early part of this century caused the VA to act and actually remove these vets with non-service connected illnesses from all premises. It is impossible to treat people adequately when hordes of smelly and filthy unemployable people with limited intelligence, sponsored by various political pressure groups when the "patients" become organized mobs that clog the halls around and within any health facility. I have no proof that ACORN or other community activist groups were agitating and organizing these quasi criminals trying to get VA treatment, but they were always in possession of lists of legal opinions backing up their near terrorist activities. Things became so bad that one night when I was taken to emergency because of a heart attack I was amazed to find the "holding" area of the emergency room clogged to the walls with violent mostly drug addled vets demanding to be taken care of. The result was that the medical staff was sealed off behind heavy metal fencing material in fear for their safety. The staff was actually relieved to see me because out of the fifty or so screaming dirty men I was one of only two or three people in the facility who were actually sick and therefore could be treated for an actual medical condition. When the government cracked down (rationed care) and finally expelled people who did not have VA ID cards the care at the facility improved to the point where it has become one of the better VA hospitals in the U.S.

Sharpton's ex & kid cuffed in 'cop rage'
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/sharpton_daughter_cuffed_in_cop_tWI25Z55GhjI9wqq06Q1JK
Excerpt: The rabble-rousing Rev should give his daughter a sermon about road rage. The Rev. Al Sharpton’s ex-wife and daughter were arrested last night after berating a pair of Harlem cops who pulled them over for running a red light in the wrong lane to get around their slow-moving, unmarked cruiser, sources told The Post. Kathy Jordan, 53, and her daughter, Dominique Sharpton, 23, were handcuffed and hauled to a precinct, where the raging reverend’s daughter tried to no avail to get off the hook because of her family ties, the sources said.
