Joe Wilson Stands Up For America

Lone Member of Congress Challenges Obama - Out of 534 members of Congress (not counting the late Sen. Kennedy) a lone voice, Rep. Joe Wilson, (R-SC), dared to challenge President Obama's litany of lies during a recent speech before a joint session of Congress. Obama said unauthorized immigrants (aka illegal aliens) would be ineligible for for federal subsidies to buy health insurance.

Joe Wilson, as well as every member of Congress, knew Obama was lying through his teeth. If Obama care is rammed down the throats of American taxpayers illegal immigrants will be receiving free health care. Wilson rose from his seat and shouted "You Lie." Joe Wilson was speaking for the American people and probably most of his Republican colleagues, who didn't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up and support him. No wonder the Republicans are a minority in the US Congress.

President Bush was booed by the Democrats several times during his congressional speeches. There was no outcry then or calls for an apology. I guess if several members boo the president at the same time it's accepted conduct and doesn't violate basic rules of decorum. Yet, if a lone member speaks out then it's an outburst that isn't condoned.

Wilson apologized to the president for his remark and said Obama had "graciously accepted my apology, and the issue is over." "I think it's clear to the American people that there are far more important issues facing this nation than what we're addressing right now," He said. Wilson refused to apologize to the House for his remark.

Obama said,"I'm a big believer that we all make mistakes. He apologized quickly and without equivocation. And I appreciate that. I do think that we have to get to the point that we have a conversation without assuming the worst in people."

Wilson's apology to Obama wasn't good enough for House Democrats. Many of whom had demonized President Bush and members of his cabinet and referred to Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney as "war criminals and liars."

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, and highest ranking black in Congress, threatened Wilson with an official House sanction unless he apologized to the House. "Either he can deal with it or the House can deal with it," Clyburn said. Can't let them nasty old Republicans get away with calling the "Messiah" a liar. The truth does hurt.

For the first time in the 233 year history of the nation a "Resolution of Disapproval" was rammed through the House by Democrats admonishing Wilson for speaking out during a presidential speech. The final vote 240-179. At least Texas Republicans voted against the resolution and every Texas Democrat voted for it. No surprise there . Don't mess with Texas Republicans. Too bad they didn't stand up when Wilson made the remark.

If any members of Congress should have been admonished it should have been Sen. Dick"Turban" Durbin for comparing US troops to Nazi SS troops; Sen John "Swift Boat" Kerry, for accusing US troops in Iraq of terrorizing women and children in the middle of the night; Rep. John "Porky Pig" Murtha for calling US Marines "cold blooded" killers and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for saying the War on Terror "was lost."

Wilson was correct in reminding the American people that there are far more important issues facing the nation than admonishing a member of Congress for challenging a lying president. Like the ongoing War on Terror downgraded to an "Overseas Contingency Operation" by the Obama administration. Obama has a "cut and run" policy underway in Iraq and is waffling on sending additional troops to Afghanistan where US casualties are increasing daily in the fight against enemy Taliban forces.

In the meantime US Attorney General Eric Holder is investigating CIA agents for "torturing" enemy prisoners. One can only ponder why Holder isn't going after the scumbag terrorists who tortured and beheaded Nicolas Burg, Daniel Pearl and American GIs.

In his latest act of appeasement Obama cancelled a Bush plan for an anti ballistic missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic. Just in time for the 70th anniversary of Russia's attack on Poland in WWII. Talk about stabbing an ally in the back. That must have had Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, a former Soviet KGB high ranking official, and his Russian thugs dancing in the streets of Moscow while drinking Vodka.

The dictator of Iran, President Amadinejad, surely hailed this as a big victory and an encouragement to pursue the development of intercontinental nuclear missiles with renewed vigor.

Amadinejad, Libya's Qaddafi, and the thug Robert Mugabe are scheduled to speak before the United Nations this week. I'm sure they will be hailed as heroes by the anti-America UN. Don't be surprised to hear that Obama had a secret meeting with this trio of skunks in the bowels of the White House during their UN visit.

With the war in Iraq and Afghanistan still raging; the American economic in shambles and employment nearing double digits Obama is racing from congressional speeches and TV appearances trying to convince the American people to endorse a socialist/communist style health care system.

The Democrat sponsored Town Hall meetings with huge crowds of Americans showing up and telling congressional Democrats, "We don't want socialized medicine," seems to have escaped Obama's attention.

Regardless, the big priority in the US Congress was to get that nasty, Joe Wilson for standing up for America.

Way to go Joe Wilson. Give them hell, Sir!
