Conyers remains sentimental over that political period and wishes that Barack Obama would be more like LBJ when it comes to pushing through legislation that will be disastrous to America, just like most of LBJ's Great Society initiatives were.

"the president could take a few pages from Lyndon Johnson's book ... and start knocking heads together."

During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.

"I love these members, they get up and say, `Read the bill,'" said Conyers.

As a Catholic and a chemist nut, it bugs me every time people try to wedge science vs religion.  Of course, these are usually atheists who are using science as a champion against religion.  Frankly, the whole thing's absurd.  If you want to find a true enemy of science, there's only one place to look: politics.

John Conyers has written a letter to Attorney General, Eric Holder, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asking them to investigate Maricopa County, Arizona sheriff Arpaio.

From John Conyers Writes a Letterfrom daveleroy at RedState:

Being a border state, Arizona is uniquely situated in the illegal immigration battle.  Like Texas, California and New Mexico, it is these state governments that bear the huge costs of illegal immigration in their hospitals, their schools, and their law enforcement resources.  With the increasing violence south of the border instigated by competition between drug cartels, it is bound to, and has in some instances, spilled north of the Rio Grande.  Yet, we now have bureaucrats sitting in Washington, DC high on their dais questioning the tactics of the foot soldiers- actually one foot soldier- in this very real battle.  While they twiddle their thumbs and contenplate "comprehensive immigration reform" and "strengthening our southern border," they now have the audacity to criticize someone who is actually doing something about it.

Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers had to be restrained during a confrontation last week with Councilman Kwame Kenyatta in which she hurled insults at Kenyatta about his hearing aid, health and education.
