Charlie Rangel’s Ethics Hearing Begins

Congressman Charlie Rangel  (NY-D) is on the cusp of being held accountable for his years of lying, cheating and unethical behavior.  He and his legal defense team have been in negotiations with the Ethics Committee in an attempt to reach some kind of deal.  It’s not going well I guess, since the committee basically told him he’d have to admit culpability, and now the public hearings are going forward this afternoon.  In what I think is a twist of irony, in large part, Unions and Lobbyists are paying for Rangel’s defense fund.  A real stretch of the guidelines for using political donations for legal defense funds – since the guideline states that these donations can’t be used for “personal” defenses.

(I’d like to note that  Sarah Palin was denied – in court – using donations made to her for her legal defense against all the frivolous suits filed against her.  The same suits whose entire design was to overwhelm her and render her useless in office.  The primary reason why she resigned her office. But I digress….)

While Congressman Rangel is under investigation – I don’t think he should be introducing or sponsoring any more legislation.  But alas, he is.  And it’s a monster of a bill.  What is it??? Mr. RANGEL introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services, H. R. 5741.

“To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and

42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed

services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense

and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the

uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements

of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.”

Other purposes?  Any other purposes?  What the in the name of all that is holy does that mean, Congressman?  Is this the new civilian force “just as well funded” as our military? Some might argue that this would be a personal little “SS” of Obama’s.  But there I go,  being all alarmist and right wing nutjob teabagger on you again, right?

I submit to the readers, evidence that I am nothing of the sort – and that my fears are WELL FOUNDED.

You catch what these boys were saying on their way in?

“Alpha, Omega.  Alpha, Omega.  Alpha, Omega”  For those to you who do not know, this is how GOD is referred to in the Christian Bible.  These boys were using those terms to describe Obama *Gag Barf Gag*

They were also chanting “Yes We Can!”

On to the next videos….. children praising Obama as a god – the one who’s come to “save the world”…. Another video where Obama is promising his “civilian army” – to thunderous applause – you have to wonder whether anyone there was even really listening to what he was saying….etc., etc., etc.




And now Congressman Rangel wants to make “mandated civilian service” official legislation.

I always say, look to what the left is accusing the right of doing, and you can bet, the left is already doing it.  The left is  likening the Tea Party movement (which is actually a true mix of party affiliations I might add) to Hitler’s brown shirts. I searched YouTube – didn’t find a single video like the ones above and below praising any conservative candidate in these creepy ways.

But watch, and decide for yourself.  Bring your air sick bag.
