Unconscionable.
That is the only word one can find that adequately describes the actions of an extremist U.S. government barely 2 days out from a clear repudiation by the voters.

Unconscionable. A most startling word that denotes the lack of a conscience.
There is no other way to suitably or more accurately describe the actions of the U.S.Congress today, initiated by the Democratic leadership, even as hundreds if not thousands of conservatives descended upon Washington in a Capitol Building protest led by Rep. Michelle Bachmann.
Bachmann's plan included a rally on the Capitol steps to decry the push by Nancy Pelosi and other extremists to shove government-run healthcare down the throats of the American people, followed by a citizen-led person-to-person campaign as the protesters seek out and talk to their own Representatives face-to-face.
These stalwart Patriots arrived in Washington just in the nick of time, it would appear.
Reuters reports that a Senate panel led by California Leftist Barbara Boxer approved a 'climate change' measure over the objections of the GOP, which boycotted the vote en mass. The bill essentially cripples the oil, coal,and gas industries by mandating 'carbon emissions' restrictions that would have the effect of hampering the ability of Americans to stay warm, cool, and drive to work...you know, that little thing we call 'LIVING.'
Unconscionable.
Bloomberg is reporting that despite the voice of the citizens in repudiating ObamaCare and other Obama initiatives in Tuesday's vote, the Democratic leadership in the House is proceeding with plans for a vote on the massive 2-trillion-dollar government takeover of healthcare. The vote could come as early as tomorrow or Saturday.
Unconscionable.
And then, in perhaps the most outrageous action of all, the U.S. Senate, led by Leftist extremists such as Harry Reid, John Kerry, Chris Dodd, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Chuck Schumer, voted to BLOCK a simple question from being asked on the upcoming U.S. Census.
That question? 'Are you a U.S. citizen?'
Unconscionable.
The whole purpose of the census is to discover how many CITIZENS we have in the U.S. for the purpose of setting House district boundaries, the number of representatives allowed to the states, as well as billions of dollars in federal money.
When illegal aliens are included in the mix, which the Democrats wish to do, an unfair advantage is created in favor of those states that have the most illegals--states such as California.
Such a thing is not only unconstitutional but criminal.
Since law enforcement won't do that job in holding our elected officials accountable to the law and the Constitution, is it time for ordinary citizens to place these enemies of the rule of law under 'citizens' arrest?'
No one is above the law, and extremist illegal measures implemented by elected officials should be met by extreme action on the part of the citizens.
This is a clear attack on our liberties. And, as Barry Goldwater is famous for saying, 'Let me remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me also remind you that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.'

well. if that were the case, should the government, from Federal, to State, through local.. be hiring non-US citizens and paying them full salaries with full benefits as well? lets see how far these Liberals are willing to take this. They speak with forked tongues when it benefits them. When it doesn't.. they shut their mouths real fast, I can tell you that!(coming from a deeply embedded local DEM gov employer, we have a VERY high employment of non US citizens because we live very close to Washington DC.!)
crap editorial is what this is ... get a clue sir
Citizenship means nothing any more -- just like for being president! Those who vote down the question undoubtedly know BHO is not a citizen and so are equally guilty. Pink slip 'em all, and then UNDO everything the usurper and his co-conspirators have done.
This is the funniest poo I've read all day. What a drama queen!
The flagrant disregard for the will of the American people and the Constitution is abhorrent. We MUST be sure it changes in 2010!!! We can only hope it won't be too late to undo the damage done by these demagogues.
Great Goldwater quote.
Taking great pains NOT to ensure that all counted on the U.S. Census are U.S. citizens is tantamount to giving illegals the vote ... which will be next.
Unconscionable, unconstitutional, and criminal ... that about sum it up. Along with tragic, reprehensible, irresponsible, reckless, arrogant, treasonous, and cowardly.
LOL I meant to say, that about SUMS it up! =:~D
Every time the subject of illegals comes up, I immediately think about the only President, in the history of the US, who gave amnesty to illegals was a Republican, Ronny Reagan.
Mmmm, that would be wrong. Lyndon Johnson signed a bill sponsored by Ted Kennedy in the late 1960s that actually started this entire mess with the onslaught of an inordinate number of immigrants from across the southern border.
But that is beside the point. The point is Reagan did not advocate deleting the one legal question on the census concerning citizenship. Are you a U.S. Citizen is a simple, direct question that actually has nothing to do with immigration policy, or amnesty. It is a question that shows the census pertains to legal citizens only.
After years of focus group testing of the questionnaire, Congress received the 2010 Census questions in 2007. Congress approved the questions in 2008. Then after 450 million forms are printed -- and a decade of preparations -- in 2009, a congressman wants a question added on the eve of the census? Now that's unconscionable.
Got something to say?
