There’s nothing wrong with swine in ole’ Charlie’s book, the greasier the better. As House Republicans introduce a resolution today calling for the ouster of Charles Rangel from his chairmanship of the influential House Ways and Means Committee, its been revealed by the New York Post that Rangel has earmarked a $3 million grant to City College in New York.

Coincidently, City College just happens to have a $30 million project in the works for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service that will immortalize his name and house his papers when he retires from office. Would that include all the missing money and apartment leases in Washington D.C., New York City, and the Dominican Republic?

I’m just asking?

Ole’ C.C. tucked away the grant inside the recently introduced Defense Appropriation Bill moving through congress. The purpose of the grant is for CCNY to create a high performance multi-threat vehicle armor to protect against explosives.

Rangel said, “Developing lighter-weight armor for military vehicles will ultimately saves lives and lessen horrific injuries to troops caused by road-side bombs. I couldn’t be more proud of CCNY’s involvement in this partnership with DoD and the private sector. This has nothing to do with the Rangel Center.”

Of course it doesn’t, C.C!

This is how Charlie Rangel demonstrates that he is the type of politician that can go through a revolving door behind you and come out ahead of you.

The rationale for the grant is purely false because in South Carolina a company known as Force Protection is the world's leading manufacturer of ballistic- and blast-protected vehicles, which have been used to support armed forces and security personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo and other hot spots around the globe.

But, don’t look for the Democrat party to label this dubious grant as nothing more than wasteful pork spending given to the friends of Charlie Rangel for the sole benefit of Charlie Rangel.

The slickster continues to slick.

And so continues the assault on traditional values. President Barack Obama, the man who wants to control your health care, appease our enemies, and wreak havoc on the moral fiber of this country, has offered up a woman to serve on the EEOC who believes homosexual sex is a moral act.

Of course for Liberals “morality” is based more on what feels or sounds good to liberal-inclined focus groups. But for the majority of Americans who based their beliefs on Judea-Christian ethics that teach Homosexual sex is indeed immoral, we have the right to believe as such, to say as such, and to teach our children as much.

These are the kind of people the president chooses to represent him. This is the fruit he brings.

I lived in New York for all my life. For as long as I could remember, ole’ Corrupt Charlie has been serving in Congress. I don’t live in his district, so I haven’t had the pleasure of voting against him. But, I remember from young, that there was something about this guy that was very creepy.

Now that I’m fully grown, my suspicions of him were on the money. When you look at ole’ Corrupt Charlie, he looks like he come from central casting for a B movie as playing the part of smooth taking snake oil salesman that could charm the panties off any woman for breakfast, and broker a real estate deal that benefits his campaign coffers by lunch time.

Truth is, ole’ CC has been doing the do of sleazy politics for a long long time. According to the New York Post, back in 1965, he scored a low-interest loan from a city program to rehabilitate his family home into apartments meant for low-income tenants -- but lived in one of the units himself, despite his higher income.

You’re something else, Charlie!

During his first term in Congress, he bought a four-bedroom house in DC and got tax breaks by listing it as his primary residence -- though he still lived in the Harlem family home

Hey, why not?

None of those deals are under investigation by the Ethics Committee, which for over a year has been probing Rangel's failure to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in income and assets, his illegal use of four rent-stabilized apartments and his improper solicitation of funds for CUNY using his House letterhead.

What else is House letterhead good for?

Some House Republicans are pushing ole’ Corrupt Charlie to resign this week. That’s as likely to happen as President Obama deciding to send 200,000 troops to Afghanistan, unilaterally bomb supposed nuclear sites in Iran without U. N. approval, and deciding to convert to the Republican party and become a a fiscal conservative.

I say keep CC exactly where he is and make him the poster boy for Nancy Pelosi’s failed promise to be the most ethical Congress in history.

Rangel is the gift that keeps on giving.

All of a sudden, a little known representative, named Alan Grayson from the great state of Florida explodes on the national political scene. He didn’t offer any landmark legislation or perform a civic duty that actually benefited his community. All he did was stand on the house floor with some giant signs that looked like they were put together by fifth graders and accused the Republican party of wanting people to die quickly if they get sick.

Mr. Grayson didn’t bother to discuss Obama Care on the merits. He did not pull out a copy of the thousand page bill and eagerly point to specific language that disputes any of the criticism the proposed health care plan has received by many detractors. No Democrat, including Grayson has done that or will ever do that in the future.

They can’t either because they have not read the entire bill themselves or they know exactly what the bill says and all the criticism is justified. So what else is there left to do?

Democrats have resorted to attacking Republicans personally to sway and manipulate the emotions of the citizenry. And the tactic is effective albeit dishonest.

So Grayson is getting his fifteen minutes of fame by being the latest in a long line of DADs, (demagogue or democrat attack dog: a strategy for gaining political power by appealing to the prejudices, emotions, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist, populist or religious themes. :Source Wikipedia)

For Grayson to use the word “holocaust” in any discussion of the health care debate is quintessential demagoguery. Someone needs to point out to Mr. Grayson that the real American Holocaust is the 50 million abortions performed in this country since 1973.

Can we get a debate on that, Democrats?
