Matheson Chooses Pelosi Over Utah
This is the kind of deception Jim Matheson needs to be held accountable for:
The House had the chance to either extend the Bush tax cuts or adjourn today. What did Matheson do? He did as Nancy Pelosi asked him to do and voted to adjourn. And the vote to extend the tax cuts failed by one vote. ONE VOTE!!!!! Phantom Jim Matheson’s vote. Simple fact. When Nancy needs him…he is with her….and against Utah.
This alone is why he needs to go…..NOW.

Winning the Battle or Winning the War?
Right now the war in the battlefield of ideas is raging, and yet many within the tea party groups, the 9.12 movement, and other conservative arenas are not feeling like they are winning the battle. But are they winning the war?
It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds. -- Samuel Adams
The media and the government have done a great job of simply ignoring or discounting the groups and their efforts across this great nation. Examples include how Time Magazine put not one picture of the march on Washington DC on September 12, 2009 in their “Year in Pictures.” This is not by accident. I was there on 9.12 and I saw the hundreds of thousands that by estimates of the crowd counters there said numbered at 1.6 million. However, in their minds, if you are simply ignored, you will go away.
Missouri votes to not allow the health care mandate (Obamacare) to stand in their state by an overwhelming 70+ %.The media does not report it. Does that seem like an oversight to you? It is not. It’s very deliberate.
A judge ignores the voters in California by overturning Prop. 8. Even though the people of the state have voted twice and won to keep marriage between a man a woman.
You may not feel like you are winning any battles, because the media and government continually ignore you, but you will win the war of ideas. Truth is the key. When you cling to the truth, you plant yourself firmly on the side of winning in the end. Do not give up hope. Do not stop believing in the decency of humankind. Do not allow the media or the government to cause you to doubt the difference you have made.
Stick together in your neighborhood groups. If you don’t have one, create one. There are like-minded people all around you. Continue to educate yourselves in the classics of great literature, and great thinkers. We are busy people. We do not believe that government can fix our problems, and we want to focus on our families, our businesses, and our lives. But make no mistake, if we do not stay focused in this critical time of alignment, our families that matter so much to us, will no longer be free.
We are in a Fourth Turning, and while there are many places to focus, do not let yourself be weary. You do not have to do everything, but if everyone does something, we will accomplish our goals of small government, less interference into our lives, less taxes and government waste, better quality of life with our families, and true charity among humanity by individuals and not governments. The ills of the world are defeated one family, one community at a time, not by an overreaching federal government mandating social justice. Dig deep, and find your own personal mission, and then live it.
FREEDOM CAN WIN!
Utah Senator Says, He “Cannot Ignore Disturbing Situations in which it Appears that Her Personal or Political Views Drove her Legal Views”
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), a former chairman and current member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement today announcing his opposition to Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan:
“I have carefully examined Solicitor General Elena Kagan’s record, actively participated in the entire Judiciary Committee hearing, and considered the views of supporters and opponents from Utah and across the country. Qualifications for judicial service include both legal experience and, more importantly, the appropriate judicial philosophy. The law must control the judge; the judge must not control the law. I have concluded that, based on evidence rather than blind faith, General Kagan regrettably does not meet this standard and that, therefore, I cannot support her appointment.
“Supreme Court Justices who, like General Kagan, had no prior judicial experience did have an average of 21 years in private legal practice. General Kagan has two. The fact that her experience is instead academic and political only magnifies my emphasis on judicial philosophy as the most important qualification for judicial service.
“Over nearly 25 years, General Kagan has endorsed, and praised those who endorse, an activist judicial philosophy. I was surprised when she encouraged us at the hearing simply to discard or ignore certain parts of her record. I am unable to do that. I also cannot ignore disturbing situations in which it appears that her personal or political views drove her legal views. She promoted the Clinton administration’s extreme position on abortion, including the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion.
As Dean of Harvard Law School, she blocked the access by military recruiters that federal law requires. And she took legal positions on important issues such as freedom of speech that could undermine the liberties of all Americans.
“General Kagan is a good person, a skilled political lawyer, a brilliant scholar, and was a fine law school dean. I like her personally and I supported her to be Solicitor General. But applying the standard I have always used for judicial nominees, I cannot support her appointment to the Supreme Court.”
