If at first you don't succeed, cry foul and change the rules.

I'm not normally one to be surprised by the actions of our liberal friends, but this is just a little too much. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi can't advance the radical left-wing agenda laid out for Democrats by moveon.org and other anti-personal freedom supporters who "own" the Democratic Party now fast enough and she's fed up. So, in the spirit of open and fair debate, she's decided to change the rules of the House to essentially shut up Republicans.

The Drudge Report is reporting the following:

"After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.

"The Democratic Leadership is threatening to change the current House Rules regarding the Republican right to the Motion to Recommit or the test of germaneness on the motion to recommit. This would be the first change to the germaneness rule since 1822.

"In protest, the House Republicans are going to call procedural motions every half hour. "

I could use all sorts of analogies, throw around names like Mao, Stalin, etc., but it's not really needed. Sometimes liberals act in such a way that it speaks for itself, speaks to their mindset, speaks to their true intentions, that it requires nothing more than spreading of the word. So there you have it, spread the word...
