Talking with comedian Nick DiPaulo subbing for Dennis Miller, Georgia Congressman Tom Price says President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have “a disdain for our form of government.” (h/t Think Progress)

“So, I think you’re right its an absolutely political move and a disdain for our form of government may in fact be in place. I think its an absolute philosophical block on what it has, what it has taken to allow this to be the greatest nation in the history of the world.”

Carter writes in an open letter to the Jewish community this week that he hopes the new year will bring peace between Israel and its neighbors. He says “we must not permit criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel.”

A report by the Congressional Research Service says ACORN hasn’t broken any laws in the last give years, but the filmmakers who secretly taped ACORN workers may have violated state law.

The CRS report, however, will give the organization’s backers some comfort and conservatives some ammo.

The Poetic Stylings Of Senator Roland Burris

Dig it!

It was the night before Christmas, and all through the Senate

the right held up our health care bill, no matter what was in it.

The people had voted a mandated reform

but Republicans blew off the gathering storm.

“We’ll clog up the Senate,” they cried with a grin.

“and in the midterm elections, we’ll get voted in.”

they knew regular folks needed help right this second

but fund-raisers lobbyists and politics beckoned.

So try as they might Democrats could not win

because their majority was simply too thin

Then across every state there rose such a clatter,…

Gary Bauer: Because We Worry About Backlash Against Muslims Their Crimes Increase

That is the gist of Gary Bauer’s article in the Weekly Standard (h/t RightWingWatch).  The one-time Republican presidential candidate frets that we’re too concerned about how Muslims will react when a Muslim commits a crime and by not reacting more strongly we’re just creating more jihadists.

While reports of attacks against Muslim Americans remain low, it is worrisome that attacks by homegrown jihadists have increased. Since 9-11, at least 60 Muslim Americans linked to jihadist groups have been convicted of terrorism and national security charges against American residents.

Yes, Gary we are creating more jihadists by our policies …

Socialism-Basher Michele Bachmann Is Also “Welfare Queen” With A Quarter Mil In Farm Subsidies

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who says with Obama we’ve made “the final leap to socialism,” has benefited from a quarter million dollars in government handouts.

Liberal site Truthdig links to an Environmental Working Group analysis of federal agricultural subsidies and found that the Bachmann family farm, managed by her father-in-law until his recent death, received $251,000 in farm payments between 1995 and 2006.

New Republican Parker Griffith Gets Big Contributions From Health Industry

Blue Dog Democrat-turned red state Republican Parker Griffith says it was the health care bill that made him leave the Democratic Party.  Democrats want their money back. As you can see from the chart at left, the plurality of Giffith’s contributions come from the health care industry, but he ‘s also lots of money from the Democratic infrastructure.

Liberals countered that Griffith was essentially a Republican all along, and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said he should give back the money Democrats have contributed to his campaign.
