The Right Coast" rel="bookmark">Free Speech Amendment (1a) — from the The Right Coast
This amendment shall be known as the “Power to the People, Power to the People Right On!” Amendment. Nothing in the amendment right before this one shall be construed as allowing persons to say Bad Things. Bad Things shall be defined by Congress anytime before November, 2010. Congress shall have the authority to establish a Special Administration for the Liberation of Speech for the People, Right On, and may promulgate regulations regarding speech by Big Corporations or anything that reminds them of such speech. Bad Things shall include any disrespectful nodding or word mouthing by Justices of the Supreme Court during Presidential addresses, especially if they touch upon freedom of speech, such as it may be. Nothing in this amendment shall be construed as giving anybody the authority to restrict the speech of law professors about any topic whatsoever at any time whatsoever. A law professor is anyone who has ever taught at a law school, whether or not on a tenure track.
A “Right On” response to President Obama’s SOTU admonitions to Congress to act on Supreme Courts’ free speech protection for corporations.
Red China - 60th Anniversary today. Huge Celebration - Parades - Food -Dances…etc…
This is an excerpt from the Canadian National Post Newspaper
When asked if ordinary citizens could come and join in the celebration of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, watch as the parade makes its way along Chang’an Ave. to Tiananmen Square, a spokesperson at the 60th anniversary press office said: “No.”
Invitations, accreditation or special passes are de rigueur for anyone who wants to get near the parade route or the gala show and fireworks later in the evening. Even people who live along the route have been warned not to come out on their balconies to watch the festivities. They are allowed to look out of their “closed” windows, but have been advised they will get a better view on the television.

Funny, in a way, but only if you’re not behind the “closed” windows.
Sarkozy comments at the United Nations Security Council Summit on Nuclear Non-Proliferation, on Sept 24th.
Comments ignored by the majority of U.S. Media
We say: reductions must be made. And President Obama has even said, ?I dream of a world without [nuclear weapons].? Yet before our very eyes, two countries are currently doing the exact opposite. Since 2005, Iran has violated five Security Council resolutions. Since 2005, Secretary-General, the international community has called on Iran to engage in dialogue. An offer of dialogue was made in 2005, an offer of dialogue was made in 2006, an offer of dialogue was made in 2007, an offer of dialogue was made in 2008, and another one was made in 2009. President Obama, I support the Americans? outstretched hand. But what did the international community gain from these offers of dialogue? Nothing. More enriched uranium, more centrifuges, and on top of that, a statement by Iranian leaders proposing to wipe a UN member State off the map.
Netanyahu’s UN General Assembly Speech
A full transcript of the speech is here.
A dose of historical and current truths, delivered to an agency little interested or willing to credit either.
Sotomayor’s racist remark
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn?t lived that life.” -Judge Sonia Sotomayor, in her Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California (Berkeley) School of Law in 2001
The Replublican’s in Washington seem to be agonizing over calling Judge Sotomayor to task for this remark.
Why?
The remark is racist. She may not be, but the remark absolutely is and she should answer for that.
We do not condone such remarks against blacks, hispanics, native americans, homosexuals or any other group labeled as minority.
Why do liberals insist that it’s just fine to condone and accept such remarks against white males.
Is racism only racism if aimed at groups with members below a certain numeric quantity.
Is there some magic number threshhold that once crossed opens you to contemptible treatment that would not be tolerated
if you were below that magic number.
No. It isn’t numbers that matter here, it’s membership in the selected groups with tickets to ride the victim train and white males have no ticket.
If the GOP accepts and doesn’t challenge such blatant and discriminatory views they’d best close up shop. The country has no need of a Democratic Lite party and conservatives who accept selective discrimination don’t deserve the name.
A preview of Supreme Court things to come?
Obama’s pick thinks that courts make policy…( with perhaps only a wink at the constitution).
and certainly isn’t shy about the value of one ethnicty vs another when it comes to doing the job…

U.S. Will Pay $2.6 Million to Train Chinese Prostitutes to Drink Responsibly on the Job
NIH (National Institute of Health) grant for $2.6 Million to teach Prostitutes in Guangx, China, proper alcohol use, while they’re on the job.
To keep you up to speed on the latest doublespeak, prostitutes are referred to as “female sex workers” or FSW and their handlers are “gatekeepers”. (read here)

Worst idea of the day -Mass. to stop fee-for-services and pay doctors yearly lump sum per patient.
Massachusetts proposes to stop fee-for-service payments to doctors (and others) and instead pay each doctor a single annual lump sum for each patients yearly care. This they claim would maybe save the state a munificent 5% of health costs.
What it will cost us -the patients, is that individually tailored medical care would be destroyed. Patients will become an endless stream of quantified sameness. .
All patients are individual and unique and their medical care requires the application of individual and unique medical services. This idea would replace individual care with prepaid assembly-line care.
It would serve to erode the time-tested doctor patient relationship and incentivize doctors to provide the minimum care necessary to stay ok within the bureaucratic dictates.
The commission claims that the state would carefully monitor the quality of care to insure patient health.
Yup! Think elevators. Think bridges. Think tunnels.
It is the worst idea I’ve heard so far today. Trading individual medical care for a supposed 5% cost savings, should tell everyone exactly what value our state government places on the well being of each of us.

Peres declares: US and Israel 100% on same page when it comes to Iran
So the Jerusalem Post reports
Both Peres and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman have indicated Israeli support for the Road Map
President Obama and his chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel are reportedly pressing Israel for a two-state agreement with linkage to aid in deterring Iran’s bid for a nuclear bomb.
Foreign Minister Lieberman declared that action would need to be taken if three months of diplomacy elapsed with no results.
Meanwhile, Iran continues to stir it’s bubbling nuclear cauldron and the brew gets closer to usable strength
Whether it’s three months or 6 months or a year, it’s a reasonable assumption that Iran’s attempt to become a nuclear power in the region, is a deadly serious issue that needs resolution in the very short term.
Such a term cannot include the Palestinian question, which has been in contention for 61 years and is no closer to resolution now then it was when it began.
Hamas controls Gaza, Fatah is in the West Bank, neither is willing to recognize Israel’s right to exist.
Peace between any two entities requires both sides to desire peace and both sides to willingly accede the others right to exist. The crux here is that the Israeli side will accept a peaceful Palestinian neighbor while the Palestinian side will only accept peace without an Israeli neighbor
Such a situation can only resolve to a continuation of the status quo, a one state solution by force or a two state solution through a coercive negotiation or an Israel that unilaterally decides to accept it’s own demise.
I fear that Obama and his advisors are not adverse to either of the latter, so long as a Palestinian state comes into being.
Have to wonder if anyone trapped in the paradigm - ’satisfy Palestinian’s now and at any cost and the h*ll with Israel’ - has ever read this excerpt from Article Thirteen of the Hamas Covenant of 1988
“Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement.”
..”There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.”
The U.S. and the rest of the involved world should require that the Palestinian representatives publicly repudiate that position and accept and recognize Israel’s right to exist or the only discussions that can take place must be viewed as deliberately weighted against Israel, the only true U.S. ally and democratic state in the region.
CNN Reporter’s Bias shows through
CNN reporter turns interview at Tea Party into her own personal protest against conservative views.
Posting this per Power Line post that CNN removed the original videofrom UTube.
So much for CNN’s reponsibility to inform the public. Well, I suppose not reporting what you don’t agree with becomes habit forming.
North Korea launches missile - Obama responds with consultations
North Korea continues to thumb it’s nose at the world and in particular the United States. The Bush administration allowed itself to be bamboozled by North Korea at every turn, sending money and oil upon demand and accepting empty promises in exchange.
The Obama administration appears to be taking the same path. Kim Jung fires off a ballistic missile to test and improve the level of their technology for a delivery system for nuclear weaponry and the Obama administration threatens them with the rhetoric of UN Security Council dissaproval.
Obama was elected in great part by his ability to deliver grand oratory and obfuscate reality. I suspect that attempting to govern and more importantly protect the United States relying only upon that same dubious talent will prove ineffective and possibly disastrous. Many of the 190 plus countries of the world may smile at his extended hand but offer a pointed stick in return.
Watch Obama Bow
Just don’t know how to characterize this. Maybe he just prefers the Saudi’s over the British.
The Saudi’s put down women. They fund the dissemination of radicalism in Mosque in the United States and the world. They are a breeding place of terrorists.
The Queen…, I guess,she’s just another white grandmother type.
Here’s a still image of the same obsequious bow.

Listening to Pres. Obama’s message to the troops concerning Iraq very disheartening
I listened to Pres. Obama’s speech at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, announcing his plan for withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq. The withdrawal plan itself is a reasonable one. His message to the troops (and to us, and our self-declared enemies), I found intensely disappointing and worrying.
He did not at any point recognize or credit our troops with a victory over the Islamic radicals. He did not recognize the importance of the establishment of a democratic state in the Middle East. He mentioned Saddam Hussein once, in passing, and referred to overcoming sectarian violence comparing it obliquely to America’s civil war.
His only mention of Al Queda came in relation to Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also said that he planned to talk with Syria and Iran, but said nothing indicating disapproval of Syria or Iran and their duplicitous support of Al Queda, against our troops.
Is his Iran, the same Iran supplying weapons and other support to the Islamic radicals attacking American troops over the past few years? Is his Syria the same Syria with the leaky borders spewing so called foreign fighters into Iraq, attacking wounding and killing our troops.
The smallness of his refusal to recognize the reality of the achievements in Iraq is a disappointment.
Extending an open hand toward Syria and Iran and backing it up with nothing but a smile of appeasement, would be delusional diplomacy.
$900M to HAMAS, - Support for the folks who danced.
This President and Administration plans to send $900M to aid in rebuilding Hamas’ home turf, the end result of which is a direct support of Hamas and it’s activities. Hamas is a terrorist organization.
We’re adding almost $1 Billion American dollars to the pot of money Iran already contributes to support Hamas and it’s terrorism. Cloaking it as reconstruction aid given through the UN or NGO’s is naivete or just plain deception.
Hamas has a stranglehold on Gaza. Any monies spent there will pass through and likely stick to the hands of Hamas, or at least allow them to spend the money in their other pocket on their main charter plan - destruction of their neighbor.
While we’re short funding our own efforts in Pakistan for the Security Development Plan for Tribal Areas and our economy slides and we’re nationalizing private banks and running flat out toward Socialism, our just elected folks in Washington can’t think of anything else to do with One Billion Dollars, except to donate it to the same people who danced in the streets in joy, the day almost 3000 American’s died.
Rick Santelli (CNBC) — The man’s right. — Listen.
Our country of free enterprise, is being morphed into a new socialist paradise, or worse. The governmemt is punishing personal responsibility, rewarding bad behavior and raising the entitlement meme to new heights.
