    PLEASE PASS THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS--LET THEM KNOW MORE ABOUT POLITICS AND PUBLIC POLICY THE FORMER MAINSTREAM MEDIA WON'T TELL. THANKS

    1. Worse for Web Freedom: Hugo Chavez or the FCC?, The administration brings the Obamacare touch to the Internet., by Seton Motley, Pajamas Media, 12/20/10

    Hugo Chavez steal businesses--Barack Obama steals businesses.

    Hugo Chavez uses schools to promote his ideology--Michelle Obama uses schools to promote her version of nutrition and promoting the discredited "Global Warming".

    Hugo Chavez believes in government health care and death panels--Barack Obama believes in government only health care and death panels.

    Now, Hugo Chavez is taking over the Internet--Obama, through the FCC, is setting polices to control the Internet in the United States.

    "
    Amongst many other unpleasant things, Venezuela’s Communist dictator Hugo Chavez is famous for yanking the licenses — and presences — of radio and television stations. He has, in fact, declared open war on all opposition media, silencing nearly any outlet that stands opposed.
    This is information control — with Chavez seeking to ensure that no Venezuelan citizen learns anything beyond that which Chavez wants them to know.
    Now, he has turned his Sauron eye to the Internet. An information-control bill has been presented to the Venezuelan parliament that includes some Internet regulation."

    2. Kennedy Institute funding denied, But groundbreaking in spring, By Hillary Chabot, Boston Herald, 12/18/10


    The Kennedy's are very wealthy. They have very wealthy friends. They still have money from the days of Joe Kennedy, who made money by bootlegging and insider trading on Wall Street.

    In California 40% of the homes are under water (owing more on a house than the house is worth), we have an unemployment rate of 12.4%--really closer to 25%, businesses are closing, moving to other States.

    Why should the poor and middle class pay for a monument to a man who killed a woman and ran away, taxed them to death, wanted to enslave young men and women (even toward his death he promoted a military draft). The government has already stolen $38 million meant for welfare, roads and the military to lie about the life and times of Ted Kennedy.

    "The founding president of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate yesterday said he is giving up on seeking federal funds for the legacy project, $30 million short of the total the institute has requested from Congress.
    “We had this request in and we felt that either we get it this year or we don’t, and we’re not going to go back,” said Peter Meade, president of the institute. “I doubt we’re going back to ask for any more.
    The institute, a $150 million project to honor the liberal lion, already has nabbed $38 million in federal dollars."
    3. WikiLeaks: Cuba banned Sicko for depicting 'mythical' healthcare system, Authorities feared footage of gleaming hospital in Michael Moore's Oscar-nominated film would provoke a popular backlash, Amelia Hill, guardian.co.uk, 12/17/10

    Even Castro knows that Cuban health care is a disaster. California Democrat Congresswomen, the lady being charged with ethics violations, has said she wished we had Cuabn style health care.
    "Cuba banned Michael Moore's 2007 documentary, Sicko, because it painted such a "mythically" favourable picture of Cuba's healthcare system that the authorities feared it could lead to a "popular backlash", according to US diplomats in Havana.
    The revelation, contained in a confidential US embassy cable released by WikiLeaks , is surprising, given that the film attempted to discredit the US healthcare system by highlighting what it claimed was the excellence of the Cuban system.
    But the memo reveals that when the film was shown to a group of Cuban doctors, some became so "disturbed at the blatant misrepresentation of healthcare in Cuba that they left the room".
    Michael Moore is the Sicko--he wants folks in the US to be starved for health care, like Cubans. Of course Moore, through his lies, is now a muti-millionaire and can afford all of his health care needs--unlike most Americans. Sadly, Moore and his friend Barack care more for government than quality health care.
    4. Obama reaches out to liberal groups to shore up Democratic base after tax deal, By Peter Wallsten, Washington Post, 12/20/10

    For years President Obama has been denouncing the Bush tax cuts, demonizing President Bush and his efforts to allow people to keep part of the money they earn.
    Now, in a fit of reality, Obama has agreed that Bush was right and helped keep those tax cuts. His socialist friends and supporters are upset--they thought he would steal more from you instead of giving the money back.
    "In the wake of President Obama's tax-cut deal with Republicans, the White House is moving quickly to mend its strained relationship with the Democratic base, reassuring liberal groups, black leaders and labor union officials who opposed the tax compromise that Obama has not abandoned them.

    On Friday morning, hours before the president signed into law the $858 billion package extending George W. Bush-era tax cuts as well as jobless benefits, White House aides e-mailed leaders of the black community to hail the compromise as a "major victory for African Americans."

    Friday afternoon, Obama hosted a group of union presidents in the Roosevelt Room for what participants described as a cordial meeting in which the two sides agreed to look beyond their differences."
    5. Mark Hemingway: It was a disastrous election year for unions from coast to coast, By: Mark Hemingway, Washington Examiner, 12/19/10:

    Republicans won 63 congressional seats and took congress from the Democrats. Numerous new GOP governors have made it a priotity to end control of government in their State by extortionist unions. The times are changing!
    "Big Labor has been pushing hard in Congress to pass "card check" legislation, which eliminates secret ballots in workplace elections, allowing organizers to identify and bully workers opposed to unionizing. But voters in four states -- Arizona, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah -- ratified anti-card check initiatives requiring secret ballots in workplace elections.

    With public-sector union pension plans around the country sinking under trillions of dollars in debt, six states -- Alabama, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Wisconsin -- elected governors who promised to transfer state employees from costly defined-benefit pension plans to 401(k) defined-contribution plans.

    In Ohio, incoming Republican Gov. John Kasich is already talking about eliminating laws dictating union-scale wages for public projects and dropping certain bargaining privileges for police and firefighter unions. In Wisconsin, Gov.-elect Scott Walker recently said he's considering abolishing public-sector unions in his state altogether."

    6. Forget the politics for a few moments. These were sent to me by Janet, from the State of Washington. She has good taste in beautiful Christmas YouTubes that children, of all ages, will enjoy. Have a joyous and Merry Christmas.
