CRAIN'S CHICAGO BUSINESS
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Sadly, Democrats want non-profit hospitals to provide more "free care." Sadly, knowing that you can get "free care" at a hospital a) encourages illegals to come to America and to stay in America, b) discourages people from earning enough income to be able to afford heath care insurance, and c) discourages people from taking care of their health. Ultimately, it is those who earn enough to pay taxes and who pay for their own heath care insurance are the ones who pay for the free health care for everyone else.

-- Obama opponents begin fund raising campaign Committee of One Million to Defeat Barack Obama will limit itself to $100 maximum contributions, no bundlers, fat cats or illegal contributions. "Obama is opposed to everything America stands for," says Executive Director Andy Martin. "But while Obama has raised a third of a BILLION dollars, his opponents have raised nothing. They can either contribute now, or pay later. If we do not succeed, Obama will."

CAPITOL FAX
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: One big reason why newspapers are failing is that increasingly, people do not read them because they promote liberalism and demonize conservatism. I continue to read them for "opposition research." I subscribe to the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald, Crain's Chicago Business, New York Times, USA TODAY, Wall Street Journal, Wheaton Leader, Wheaton Sun, etc. According the February 1978 issue of Money Magazine: "When he's not collecting taxes, Dave Diersen is collecting information. He reads Chicago's three newspapers each day, and subscribes to about 20 magazines."

-- What are Obama and the Democrats really arguing? - Dave Diersen
www.gopillinois.com
It seems that what Obama and the Democrats are really arguing is that the most important things that you must do to get into Heaven are to promote things that will destroy America:
-- promote more dependency on government, more income and wealth redistribution, more class warfare, socialism, and communism, that is, get government to take away more and more from those who have and give more and more to those who have less
-- promote amnesty, more guest worker programs, more mass immigration
-- promote abortion
-- promote homosexual activity
-- promote multiculturalism and multilingualism
-- promote the anti-American argument that America caused all the world's past, present, and future problems
