Former U.S. congressman, William Jefferson, was convicted Wednesday of taking bribes in a case in which agents found $90,000 in his freezer. (video below)

Jefferson, a Democrat who had represented parts of New Orleans, was accused of accepting more than $400,000 in bribes and seeking millions more in exchange for brokering business deals in Africa. A federal jury convicted him on 11 of 16 counts, including bribery, racketeering, and money laundering.

In my last article, your faithful war correspondent reported that the Obama administration has requested that citizens start spying on their friends and neighbors who are opposed to ObamaCare. Because “Facts Are Stubborn Things”, we were asked by his Communications Director to officially report back to the White House.

I’m delighted to report an update to that story.

They are meticulously collecting the email addresses of these snitches and will later be asking all of them to join a new alliance of citizen spies. The Obama Alliance of Finks, OAF, will soon be invited to spy on their friends regarding other important issues.

The more active members of OAF will even be offered positions as paid grassroots volunteers with the highly reputable and extremely transparent organization ACORN or one of its 300+ affiliate groups. Further, the 10,000 most successful OAF’s will also be invited to join the Steadfast Obama Brownshirts. SOB’s will train under the direct tutelage of the charming and charismatic Rahm Emanuel. (uniform depicted above)

And, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, each participant will automatically be placed into a lottery, the White House Obama Raffle for Elites. Ten lucky OAF spies will be randomly selected as winners of the WHORE, with one grand prize recipient.

President Obama has been in office now for 200 days, and the second hundred days of his administration have been worse than the first. The $787 billion stimulus experiment he rushed through Congress still isn’t creating jobs. The job-killing national energy tax he rushed through the House is threatening families and small businesses with higher energy bills.

And now he wants to rush through Congress a $1.6 trillion government-run health care experiment that will make health care more expensive, add to the deficit and cause tens of millions of Americans to lose their current health insurance and doctors. President Obama has done all of this in just 200 days – and there are still 1,260 days left in his term. America can’t take any more of President Obama’s experiments.

Health care legislation before Congress would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions, a decision that would affect millions of women and recast federal policy on the divisive issue.

Federal funds for abortions are now restricted to cases involving rape, incest or danger to the health of the mother. Abortion opponents say those restrictions should carry over to any health insurance sold through a new marketplace envisioned under the legislation, an exchange where people would choose private coverage or the public plan.

Abortion rights supporters say that would have the effect of denying coverage for abortion to millions of women who now have it through workplace insurance and are expected to join the exchange.

Advocates on both sides are preparing for a renewed battle over abortion, which could jeopardize political support for President Barack Obama’s health care initiative aimed at covering nearly 50 million uninsured and restraining medical costs.

“We want to see people who have no health insurance get it, but this is a sticking point,” said Richard Doerflinger, associate director of pro-life activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “We don’t want health care reform to be the vehicle for mandating abortion.”

In a decision that could dramatically reshape California’s criminal justice system, a panel of federal judges Tuesday ordered Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and state legislators to find ways to cut the prison population by 40,000, or about one-quarter of all inmates.

The ruling was a stark milestone in the years-long saga of two lawsuits charging that California allows inhumane conditions to fester in its prisons because of severe overcrowding. Law-and-order advocates say such cuts would result in inmates being returned to the streets early or being turned over to cash-strapped counties to jail. The Schwarzenegger administration signaled that it would likely appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The three-judge panel gave the governor and lawmakers 45 days to present a plan to cut the inmate population from about 150,000 to 110,000 over two years. The judges delivered a stern message about conditions that are so poor in some prisons that they violate inmates’ constitutional rights.

(Caution: this post has copious literary allusions to George Orwell’s “1984″.)

Up before dawn this pleasant summer morn, my casual daily stroll across the Web in search of delightful news for blog content seemed somehow to be just another glorious day of fatuous bliss. In these serene Orwellian days when change is actually much more of the same, hope is actually despair, and transparency is actually opacity, headlines are rife with eager potential for more thought crimes against the Ministry of Truth and the Big Brother Administration.

In my earnest quest to reach the elusive Room 101 or at least a secluded joycamp, all the usual questions pervaded my impure mind. Where is John Galt? What would Winston Smith do? Why IS the constitution bad?

Then, without warning, just over the horizon I glimpsed the fringes of new strife. Soon I could hear the call to arms. Coming directly toward me at the speed of broadband was … what … could it be true … unfolding on Battlefield Internet a new struggle for freedom was beginning … the War of the Watchdogs.

First blood was drawn by a gallant General, known to patriots as the inimitable Glenn Beck. Saul Alinsky’s arrant knaves speak of him only as the “Faux News Clown”.

On July 31st at 10:31 am, he called upon his 10 million radio and Web followers to be constitutional watchdogs. In effect, he challenged us to resist the destiny of free range human livestock. He boldly asked that we, we who love freedom, become actively vigilant and to report as patriotic keyboard warriors directly to him any violations of the constitution that we discovered.

In a press release today, Darrell Issa (R-CA) chided Rahm Emanuel for his Chicago-style scare tactics.

Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”

“I and others have dared to bring these facts to the attention of President Obama, the Congress and the American people,” Issa wrote. “You’ve unfortunately reacted by once again resorting to the playbook of the Chicago political machine.”

According to the Associate Press, the Obama administration is refusing to quickly release government records on its “cash for clunkers” rebate program that would substantiate — or undercut — White House claims of the program’s success, even as the president presses the Senate for a quick vote for $2 billion to boost car sales.

The Transportation Department said it will provide the data as soon as possible but did not specify a time frame or promise release of the data before the Senate votes whether to spend $2 billion more on the program.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Sunday the government would release electronic records about the program, and President Barack Obama has pledged greater transparency for his administration. But the Transportation Department, which has collected details on about 157,000 rebate requests, won’t release sales data that dealers provided showing how much U.S. car manufacturers are benefiting from the $1 billion initially pumped into the program.

America is not a Democracy as most people think. America is a Constitutional Republic!

A democracy is a government of the masses that derives its authority through mass meetings or other forms of direct expression. It results in mob-ocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic - negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation or government by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restrain as regard to consequences.

In a republic, authority is derived by election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them. Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure. Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard for consequences … it avoids the dangerous extremes of either tyranny and mob-ocracy. It results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, contentment and progress. (description from U.S. Army Manual # 2000-25, copyright 1928.)

America, is the bread basket of the world! WE ARE the leaders in agriculture, the first on the scene of earthquakes, floods, hurricanes. Today, our government pays farmers NOT to farm. It uses corn for ethanol driving food prices up and creating a food shortage for humans and animals

The postal service is considering closing as many as 1,000 local offices as it battles staggering financial problems.

The post office has been struggling with a sharp decline in mail volume as people and businesses switch to e-mail both for personal contact and bill paying. The agency is facing a nearly $7 billion potential loss this fiscal year, despite a 2-cent increase in the price of stamps in May, cuts in staff and removal of collection boxes.

On the heels of a successful state-level resistance to the 2005 Real ID Act, activists and state legislators alike are focusing their efforts on state governments as a way to resist new federal programs.

The latest? Health Care.

In response to what some opponents see as a Congress that doesn’t represent their interests, State Legislators are looking to the nearly-forgotten American political tradition of nullification as a way to reject any potential national health care program that may be coming from Washington.
