Gov Christie Would Defund Planned Parenthood

Gov Christie Would Defund Planned Parenthood — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie eliminates all funding for family planning services in  the budget he unveiled Tuesday. The vast majority of the money goes to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.

The state allocated $7.6 million to the budget line last year.

New Jersey, like most states in the current Dempression, is experiencing massive budget shortfalls. Even if it wasn’t, though, there is not a legitimate reason why a cent of tax money should go to an abortion provider.

Good for Gov. Christie.

30% Of Docs To Quit If Deem Health Plan Passes

A survey by the Medicus Firm shows that almost 30 percent of doctors will either quit practicing medicine or retire early if the Nancy Pelosi’s Deemocrats pass the embattled ObamaCare socialized medicine plan. The breakdown is 7.4 percent quitting and 21.8 percent retiring early.

The Medicus Firm is a national physician search firm based in Atlanta and Dallas.

Altmire has close ties to the health care industry and voted no on the bill last November.

Education Department Wants Short-Barrel Shotguns

Education Department Wants Short-Barrel Shotguns — The federal Department of Education is soliciting bids for 27 Remington Model 870 12-gauge shotguns with 14-inch barrels.

Why does the federal Department of Education need 27 Remington Model 870 12-gauge shotguns with 14-inch barrels?

Now, someone might make a comment like “ho ho ho, maybe they might have to enter South Philadelphia High” and think they are being smart, but someone making such a comment would only show themselves to be rather stupid.

The Department of Education has absolutely no defense or law enforcement purpose. Buying guns indicates a perverse mission creep and that those running the department are not really people we want in government.

A Meeting With Amber Murphy

I just met the lovely Amber Murphy, who was out for a jaunt with mom, Holly, brother Hunter and sister Krista. Amber was born Feb. 6, the night of February Blizzard I.

When Holly went into labor Springfield emergency personnel gave her the option of having Amber at their home or taking a ride to the hospital. Holly chose the hospital. She says there  10 volunteer firemen with shovels had to clear a path for her to the ambulance.

Amber is a living doll and dad, Brian, has every reason to be proud.

Krista, if I misspelled your name, I apologize.

Baghdad Bob Gibbs Pledges Socialized Health Care By Sunday

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, yesterday, “whoever sits here this time next week, you all will be talking about health care reform not as a presidential proposal but as something that will soon be the law of the land.”

Gibbs expressed confidence that the government take over of health care would be popular with the American people.

“. . .once it passes, we’re happy to have the 2010 elections be about the achievement of health care reform. That’s a debate I think we’re obviously comfortable having,” he said.

Regarding opponents of the bill, he said “They do not even have control over themselves! Do not believe them! . . .We’re giving them a real lesson today. Heavy doesn’t accurately describe the level of casualties we have inflicted. . . These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying . . .God will roast their stomachs in hell”
