Authorities intercepted a parcel this morning addressed to Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) containing a bloody pig's foot and a derogatory message, a source has confirmed to CBS News. The parcel was intercepted at the Congressional mail facility in Landover, Maryland, where mail sent to lawmakers is screened for security risks. The U.S. Capitol Police and U.S. Postal Service confirmed that there is an open investigation, though would not confirm the details of what was contained in the parcel because the investigation is ongoing. King's office, which did not see the parcel, referred all questions to the Capitol Police. According to...

Caption on YouTube: Book Burning is no longer the sole shame of Nazi Germany. On September 25, 2010, the Obama administration (through the Pentagon) burned all 9,500 first run copies of Anthony Shaffer's memoir "Operation Dark Heart". Based on his experience as a Lt. Col. in the US Armed Forces, Operation Dark Heart was deemed a threat to national security after it had already passed an Army review and had already been published. Burning books that have already been published seems like an obvious affront to free speech and seem particularly dangerous coming from the Obama administration, which has sought...

A truly shocking thing happened on Monday's "Hardball": Chris Matthews, the man who once proudly boasted about getting a thrill up his leg when Barack Obama speaks, actually scolded the President on national television. Maybe even more surprising, the MSNBCer told the object of his affection, "Stop saying that giving people tax cuts is giving people money. It`s their money!" The unashamed liberal host continued, "A tax cut is when the government doesn`t take our money. It`s an important distinction" (video follows with transcript and commentary): CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: I have one small tweak to make to what the president...

Several Illinois constituents tried to get Rep. Phil Hare to answer their questions about the constitutionality of the democrat's nationalized health care plan at a meeting in Springfield, IL on Saturday August 21, 2010. Hare told them their questions were "silly stuff." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU5HcIQ14UM&feature=player_embedded

*skipped the barf first paragraph* So here is Alaska's ex-governor addressing a California State University-Stanislaus fundraiser over the weekend: "...this is Reagan country and (applause), YEAH! And perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and inter-linked to the Golden State.'' (You can watch it yourself at about minute 4:30 into a rockin', rollin', rollickin' speech.) Well, as Reagan liked to say, California is the Golden State, and he did become inter-linked with it. And yes, as Reagan also liked to say, he did go to a Eureka College, but...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is -- oh-ho-ho-ho. Lorraine X, Lorraine X. It's been a long time, happily so, but here she is back from San Diego to the EIB Network. Hello, Lorraine. CALLER: Well hello, Rush. You know, as one of your more famous liberal callers to this show, I want to first say to all the liberals out there, don't you dare try to hang the racist tag on Rush Limbaugh because I'm going to tell you he's not. He just has a big mouth. Now, having said that, Rush, I'm going to let you have it here. Rush,...

In light of the uninsured being quoted as saying that ObamaCare "is like Christmas". It has inspired me to write a song parody. I hope you like it. First the quote: "It's just going to be like Christmas," said DeCarlo Flythe, who lost health coverage for his family when he was laid off almost three years ago. "It's going to be great. You know, no worries (about) the bills. We are going to go ahead and pay our co-pay and be alright." Song to the Tune of "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas" Its beginning to look a...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0OsfEziVyw&feature=player_embedded Unbelievable! So I guess if you are for State Rights and Federalism you are somehow a racist. Get your barf bag ready. "We've gotten use to in the public discourse to let people go as far right as they want to go, and somehow claim they are more American than anyone else, somehow if you are for secession and nullification, you are more American than someone who abides by the Constitution. This has gotten distorted, that's not conservative to talk like that, that's not conservatism." - Chris Matthews. WTF? Also watch the end (if you can stomach it), they...

The top Senate Democrat yesterday defended a colleague's assertion that Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Klansman, would have been a great leader during the Civil War. "I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia that he would have been a great senator at any moment," Mr. Dodd, Connecticut Democrat, said while praising Mr. Byrd last week on the occasion of the eight-term Democrat's 17,000th Senate vote. Mr. Dodd continued: "He would have been right at the founding of this country. He would have been in the leadership crafting this...

US President Barack Obama said Tuesday the world has moved "one step closer" to a "strong operational agreement" on climate change at next month's Copenhagen summit after his talks with Indian and Chinese leaders.

The recession has eaten into people's nest eggs so the government is promoting ways to make it easier to save for retirement. One initiative that was outlined in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday will allow people to have their federal tax refunds sent as savings bonds. Others are meant to require workers to take action to stay out of an employer-run savings program rather than having to take action to join it. The new federal steps, which do not require congressional action, include: _Making it easier for small companies to set up 401(k) retirement savings plans in which...

Video at youtube link. Last month I posted here on Free Republic about Obama's "Militaristic Youth Corp Commercial" video on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2252854/posts That video is now gone due to a copyright claim by City Year. However this video that I found is almost equally as eerie.
