Welcome to DC, 112th Congress. Here are some tips, from MichelleMalkin and most of us. My comments in parenthesis
1. Manage expectations. (The people's expectations - that is.)
2. Serve the people, not the press. (The Press are the lapdogs of the Democrats. So, you won't please them if you oppose their puppeteers.)
3. Neutralize the grievance-mongers: Confront the race card early and often. (Don't feel guilty and get played that way. People of color support you - albeit silently.)
4. Neutralize Alinsky’s avenging angels: Counter the human shield strategy early and often. (Just say, "Save the drama for you momma.")
5. Don’t fall prey to Chicken Little Syndrome again. Don’t. (Remember what they said about crisis not going to waste.)
6. Never forget: Government does not “create jobs.” Politicians don’t create jobs. You are there to stop government from killing jobs in the name of “reform,” the “children,” “emergencies,” global warming, hope, change, etc., etc., etc. (More regulations, less lattitude. Less lattitude, more constraints. More constraints, less profits. Less profits, less business. Less business, less jobs.)
7. Obstruction is not a dirty word. (If they're driving us into a ravine, then step on the brakes and let them sit behind.)
8. Don’t be afraid to say it: Take Your Olive Branch and Shove It, Democrats. (Shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Shove it deep. Shove it hard. Compromise is treachery. Compromise is selling out. If there is no common ground, then so be it. Better alone than with bad company.)
9. Show, don’t tell: Transparency. Accountability. Integrity. When you fail, you’ll be called out. The “R” after your name doesn’t give you immunity. Ever. (We'll have "T" people next time. )
10. This is your oath of office. Live it: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.” (Pray often. Pray for real. Pray well. Pray hard.)
US being overwhelmed by Jihad on legal, cultural, educational, financial and military fronts and the Obama administration continues to deny, hide or obfuscate the real cause i.e. Islam - not extremist Islam but plain Islam. Their Koran mandates it and Mohammed's example shows the violence intended for non-Muslims. Allen West has the integrity to be able to fearlessly and honestly point this out. It appears that the Saudis cannot buy him unlike the others. I hope and pray that he takes extreme precaution as he is a prime target of the Muslims. I won't be surprised if there are fatwas against him already. And if not from the Muslims, then he needs to defend himself from their lapdogs who have infiltrated and subverted powerful offices in the government.

Just a fun post. Notice how he ignored Pelosi's crock of Liberal mental excretion? Time to turn off the high beams Nancy. Games over.
Boehner Press Office Responds to Senate Democrats re: Repealing Job-Killing ObamaCare Law
Senators Reid, Durbin, Schumer, Murray and Stabenow:
Thank you for reminding us – and the American people – of the backroom deal that you struck behind closed doors with ‘Big Pharma,’ resulting in bigger profits for the drug companies, and higher prescription drug costs for 33 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D, at a cost to the taxpayers of $42.6 billion.
The House is going to pass legislation to repeal that now. You’re welcome.

In case you're wondering why I post these and what this has to do with the Catholic faith, just look at Egypt and Iraq or any Muslim country to see what has become of the Christians living there. Unless we want our grandchildren persecuted, we need to make America safe - for all faiths. And that entails exposing the fraud and evil of Islam.
Video description from YouTube:
from the producers of the documentary film "Obsession" "The Third Jihad": http://thethirdjihad.com/
Gunfire & Explosions regularly heard on the weekends from An Islamic compound "IslamBerg" of felon converts to Islam, in the Catskill Mountains (one of 30 in America) ran by Sheikh Gilani Leader of Al Fuqra which is connected with terrorist activities in Pakistan. Violent Felon's have no 2nd Amendment rights btw... lets just trust that The guns are being kept away from them. http://thethirdjihad.com/
