The Democrat Smear and Lie of the Day!
Need more examples of how the left would rather SMEAR than debate? There is an example nearly every single day now...
Take the current SCHIP issue and President Bush's veto of that bill.
Here is the official disgusting Democrat email I received from Yee-haa Dean essentially calling Bush a warmongering child-hater and asking ME to tell the Democrat led Congress what to do.
"Dear Red,
Yesterday, Governor Dean emailed you asking you to tell Congress to stand up to President Bush and override his veto of the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
George Bush vetoed health care for sick kids -- and he did it while he continues to pour money into the war in Iraq...some of it going to companies like Halliburton and Blackwater.
Fortunately, this disgusting act of political calculation can be overturned"
Thanks for all that you do,
Tom McMahon Executive Director of the Democrat Party on behalf of Howard Dean Spokesman for the Democrat Party.
Why is Howard Dean emailing average citizens to tell Congress what to do? (He's pandering to his base)
Congress is controlled by a Democrat majority and Howard Dean is the "leader" of the Democrat party... why doesn't Howard just tell "his" own Congress what to do? I'm pretty sure he has Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid on speed-dial.
Why? Because Democrats voted against the bill too! Dean doesn't even have the support of Democrats... so how hypocritical is it to blame Bush?
It's "Typicritical".
(Thanks to Right Truth)
"...There has been a lot of interest in Tennessee regarding the reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Plan (SCHIP) which appeared before Congress last week and was vetoed by President Bush yesterday. I'd like to highlight some of the critical shortcomings that prompted the entire Tennessee House Republican delegation, a strong majority of our GOP colleagues, and several Democrat members to oppose its passage.First, we share the common goal of expanding access to quality healthcare to all Americans, especially disadvantaged children. But this bill will not advance those efforts. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, by expanding the definition of "poor" to include those making $82,000 per year or more, will enroll an additional 1.2 million people by 2012. Of those 1.2 million, CBO estimates that 600,000 of them have private health insurance coverage today. This bill would provide strong incentive for individuals and employers to dump private coverage and shift these costs to the taxpayers -- at an estimated cost of $74,000 per person annually. Here in Tennessee we watched a similar stampede to state-run coverage cripple the TennCare system. Another troubling component of the bill is the removal of the proof-of-citizenship requirements for enrollment. This provision, found in Section 211 (H.R. 976), is commonly referenced as the concerted effort to allow taxpayer subsidized healthcare to illegal immigrants.
The SCHIP bill also employs questionable budgeting pratices. It dramatically increases Federal funding to enroll new children in SCHIP for the next 5 years -- funding which is partially offset by a tax increase. Then in 2012 the bill abruptly cuts total SCHIP funding by 80 percent – to a level substantially lower than what we're paying now with far fewer people enrolled. The effect is that unless Congress intervenes, millions of children will then lose coverage. CBO estimates that by 2017, the program will have a $40 billion hole in it.
Yes, there are even more problems with the passage of this socialized medicine for illegals bill.. but the above alone is reason to understand that Democrats have no clue, are promoting socialized medicine and are for open borders... and their only defense for the indefensible is to "SMEAR" Bush (as usual).
The hight of this idiocy is that proponents claim it's not a tax increase but plan to fund the program from the sales of a product they are at the same time OUTLAWING. Charge too much tax on tobacco and tobacco sales go down... make it illegal to smoke and sales go down, so where will this socialized medicine funding come from? YOU in the form of a tax increase as soon as the budget isn't met (first year). It's a lie people.
Of course the Soros/Clinton News Service (main stream media) is portraying this as "Bush hates sick children".... pathetic liars.
Here in Oklahoma, all of the mediamatters/moveon.org clone blogs like Okie Funk, Oklahoma Blue, Sooner Thought, Kittenstomper and the rest are URGING... excuse me DEMANDING that Oklahoman's tell Inhofe to not hate Oklahoma children.
Whenever you hear Democrats saying "It's for the children", grab your wallet and run for the hills.

Same old same old, from the Dems.
Scare tactics, fear mongering, 'the sky is falling' crap.
But Red, without an original idea in their heads, what can they fall back upon, but this?
SCHIP is the latest entitlement blackhole from this lot: Same folks who gave us the never ending war on poverty and the ponzi Social Security scheme. I forget which Dem. presidential nominee last week suggested that America must either raise payroll taxes again, or raise the retirememt age again, this time to 67!
Oh, and Red, I only just now saw your disclaimer, etc. at bottom of your blog. I reprinted a post of yours last Thursday without your permission (But it was so good!). Apologies for that...
(You may not want to post this comment!)
Ya know Red, your post here hits on a topic which I both dispise and yet know something about. For I am a recipient of socialized medicine and health care. If I had your admirable skills of communication, I'd blog on this extensively, critically. Harshly.
From my POV, I can see how the US Govt. keeps American Indians down with this kind of government hand-out, and more; likewise, I can see where all of this universal health care coverage BS is heading. But I do not have the skills to point it out in the bigger picture, to everyone. Suffice it to say, I understand the 55 Tulsa Univ. students' envy, racism directed at us. Instead of being able to put it all down into words in a tiny, tiny blog, I see the whole thing as one image in my mind; as a whole, and as an event to dread, and all of it to fight against as hard as we all can. For rather than encouraging individuals to be the best they can become, they are assured by government that they will have a safety net; therefore, they can be as lazy as we're percieved as being.
For what other Americans see now, as Indian's lucky, fortunate complete health coverage is already 'socialized medicine', and the Indian Health Service (its $3.8 billion annual budget), along with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, et. al., prevent Indians from achieving any higher social development, by keeping them dependant on the Federal gov. entirely from cradle to grave.
Look at the poor conditions of Indians in Arizona, or in South Dakota, or in Alaska as proof! In that sense, Oklahoma Indians do NOT live on reservations, do not totally rely on monthly govt.checks, or on minimal govt. support. Another reason to feel blessed here in Oklahoma! And my parents' encouragement for me to be educated.
But Red, this same Socialism is coming to you and to every American, not just the Red man. Or to children. Or to the poor, the elderly or the infirm. And for any groups' efforts to "oppose" it marks them as Racist.
I see the whole thing, from my perspective within the bounded bubble: The Past, it's effects, the present, the desperation in Indians' eyes, and the future, wherein we all are treated this way, in one God-awful image.
This Democratic "benevolence" is a trap, it is a danger to be avoided.
hey mal, no permission required... I saw your post and was very flattered.
thankyouverymuch.
BTW- did you see the pathetic display up in Denver today?
The Italian community has had a Columbus Day parade in Denver for years (they love a good parade in Denver and have 3 or 4 a yr).. of course there have been protests in the past... this year reached a new low.
They poured blood with toy doll parts on the parade route, like 80something arrested, it took 1-1/2 hours to clean up the mess...etc. BEFORE they could even start the parade!
Now i don't wanna get on a rant here Mal, but if we are gonna protest Columbus day because if not for Columbus the Europeans would never have come...and therefore there would be no genocide or because Columbus committed genocide or was a murdering thug... whatever, can't people do it without totally ruining the day for other AMERICANS?
And if we are gonna protest the European invasion...and the horrible things the US government (both black and white) did to native Americans for 300 years then we better be protesting 4th of July and virtually every holiday, parade and event.
People fail to realize that native Americans are not immune from criticism and were selling and trading other tribe members as slaves long before whiteyes got here... were wiping out other tribes as well long before...(contrary to popular belief not all tribes were peace loving vegetarians) no excuse for anybody, but my point is that if we only concentrated on the bad things that no doubt happened... with ALL people and races no matter their origins, then there would be no parades- period.
Here's an idea, instead of pouring blood with toy baby parts on someone else's parade... how about protesters form their own parade celebrating the things (or protesting the things) that they believe?
The gay and lesbian community seem to understand this principal.

No, I hadn't seen it yet! Only thing going on in Denver to me lately, was their Rockies win last night.
It is a shame, the extent that AIM protests an otherwise innocent parade, for the very reasons you write! But they protest NOT Colombus's discovery, and an European influx, as much as they protest their perception the American government has done to them since 1492. Indians in Arizona, in New Mexico or in South Dakota, for example, live far more harsh, diminished lives than we here in Oklahoma do. Almost everywhere but here in Oklahoma, fully grown men and women are treated as children, incompetent children by the United States, needing to be managed and directed in literally every aspect of thier lives, by the all-knowing, all correct White Fathers in Washington, DC.
So the protesters in Denver are essentially wrong in the direction of their angst today; they shame themselves in doing so, too~!
Their cries of misunderstanding I hear, and I agree with to the extent that they have a point, Red.
But what alternatives do they have? I have been to Wounded Knee,SD, and to the Hopi Reservation in NM, seen the desolation filled with drunks and druggies, the hopelessness in the eyes of those there, thanks to mostly Democratic benevolence in the past for their Red brothers.
Red, Oklahoma was born from a different 'type' Indian/White interaction, from those who had different experience with the American Westward Ho movement. Here, We are indeed fortunate and indeed wise at the same time, to have recognized the value of the brotherhood of man, and of a shared ambition to make our state great, 100 years ago.
The term "Civilized" comes to mind, but the alternative to that very term is what the Plains and southwest Indian tribes feel from Washington. Alaskans too. It's a sense of "We know what's best for you, and you will accept it or nothing...", propagated since the 1930s on, there.
When each of them probably wants nothing more than just the opportunity to become educated and the opportunities of personal advancement, jobs, that every other person wants.
So living in this world which breaches both mindsets, I can understand the protesters misdirected intentions there in Denver today, but also see that what they strive for is still acceptance in what's now, a foreign land, and more, the pitiful embarrassment they are.
Your communication skills are just fine. These are not simple issues that have only one solution.
I have spent some time at the Navajo reservation in Arizona on business... it is like visiting another country almost, you are absolutely correct.
In my view native Americans are the most discriminated against people in America... while illegal Mexican nationals are demanding rights in this country and African Americans have received equal rights (as they should) Native Americans were left in the dust, to be trampled on by all the rest.
Where are the native American restaurants, food and culture in main stream America? I love Indian Taco's as much as the next guy, but that doesn't cut it.
Where are the holiday's to celebrate the legends and hero's to Native America?
We are at the point of forcing Americans to learn Spanish and paying for Mexican teachers to come to America to teach Mexican immigrants in US public schools,...but where are Native American languages taught in public school?
I realize I'm preaching at the choir...
It's just sad and pathetic and not fair that other cultures get preferential treatment and everyone is worried about the poor immigrant... well (liberals) how about the poor native Americans?
(cricket noise)
I too realize how frustrating it must be... how groups like AIM can feel that the ONLY way to be heard is to be EXTREME.
However, to let that frustration be realized in violence and acts of disgusting displays of anger... doesn't get anywhere except criticized by people like me.
Because of their tactics we are left to discuss those tactics instead of the issues they wish to bring to light in the first place.
Again, I say WHY not form parades that celebrate the native American heritage and culture in cities rather than ruin everyone else's parade.
You can attract more flies with honey than with vinegar.
great comments, I hesitated before mentioning this to you because I had mixed emotions... and figured you would also.
I sympathize and empathize with the plight but condemn and despise these methods of "raising awareness"... because the only thing most people are aware of from this parade is how ugly these people can act.
Keep posting mal, I got your back.
