Democrats Considering Political Suicide Mission

Thanks to Curt at Flopping Aces...

"The talk in Washington is that Senate Democrats are preparing to push through health care reforms using parliamentary procedures that will allow a simple majority to prevail in their chamber, as it does in the House, instead of the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster that Senate Republicans are sure to mount.With the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, the Democrats do not have the votes just among their 57 members (and the two independents) to break a filibuster, and not all of these can be counted on to vote in lock step. If the Democrats want to enact health care reform this year, they appear to have little choice but to adopt a high-risk, go-it-alone, majority-rules strategy.We say this with considerable regret because a bipartisan compromise would be the surest way to achieve comprehensive reforms with broad public support. But the ideological split between the parties is too wide — and the animosities too deep — for that to be possible.In recent weeks, it has become inescapably clear that Republicans are unlikely to vote for substantial reform this year. Many seem bent on scuttling President Obama’s signature domestic issue no matter the cost. As Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina, so infamously put it: “If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."

As Curt at Flopping Aces so aptly put it.... "Bring it…."

The Lefts' Obsession With Phony Science

During a debate which developed in the comments section of another post (ROFLMAO of the Day) below, a fellow blogger asserted that because animals are 'gay', then human homosexuality is therefore just as natural as heterosexual behavior.

Luiz Sérgio Solimeo has written a well researched piece on The Animal Homosexual Myth.

"In its effort to present homosexuality as normal, the homosexual movement[1] turned to science in an attempt to prove three major premises:

1. Homosexuality is genetic or innate;
2. Homosexuality is irreversible;
3. Since animals engage in same-sex sexual behavior, homosexuality is natural.

Keenly aware of its inability to prove the first two premises,[2] the homosexual movement pins its hopes on the third, animal homosexuality.[3]
Animals Do It, So It's Natural, Right?

The reasoning behind the animal homosexuality theory can be summed up as follows:

- Homosexual behavior is observable in animals.
- Animal behavior is determined by their instincts.
- Nature requires animals to follow their instincts.
- Therefore, homosexuality is in accordance with animal nature.
- Since man is also animal, homosexuality must also be in accordance with human nature.

This line of reasoning is unsustainable. If seemingly "homosexual" acts among animals are in accordance with animal nature, then parental killing of offspring and intra-species devouring are also in accordance with animal nature. Bringing man into the equation complicates things further. Are we to conclude that filicide and cannibalism are according to human nature?

In opposition to this line of reasoning, this article sustains that:

1. There is no "homosexual instinct" in animals,
2. It is poor science to "read" human motivations and sentiments into animal behavior, and
3. Irrational animal behavior is not a yardstick to determine what is morally acceptable behavior for rational man."

The money quote:

Conclusion-
"In summary, the homosexual movement's attempt to establish that homosexuality is in accordance with human nature, by proving its animal homosexuality theory, is based more on mythological beliefs and erroneous philosophical tenets than on science."

Sounds a lot like the same phony "science" the left uses to sell us on global warming, stem cell research and abortion doesn't it?
That's because it is.

My Life Story...

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned ... couldn't concentrate.

• Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.
• After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it. Mainly because it was a so-so job and seamed more exciting than it was
• Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was exhausting.
• I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn't cut it so we parted.
• Then I tried to be a chef -- figured it would add a little spice to my life but I just wasn't at home on the range
• Finally, I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.
• My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.
• Mining was interesting, but then they gave me the shaft.
• Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn't fit in.
• I became a professional fisherman, but my net income was reel low
• Thought about becoming a witch, so I tried that for a spell.
• I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.
• I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes but I was fired because I wasn't up to it.
• So then I got a job in a health club, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.
• Next, I found being an electrician interesting, but there were too many undercurrents.
• After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a history teacher until I realized there was no future in it.
• My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind and the job had no perks.
• So I retired and I found I am a perfect fit for the job!

ROFLMAO of the Day

Democrats are running around with a petition calling for Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) to read the Obama socialized medicine bill dubbed "Obama-care" (which Dummy-crats themselves who plan to pass it haven't read) before voting against it. Suddenly reading a bill that Democrats themselves haven't read is important? Too funny.

Perhaps the Demonrats don't realize that they don't need Senator Inhofe's vote... or any Republican vote for that matter.
In fact, as we know the Democrats have enough Democrat(ic) votes to pass the bill without a single Republican vote.... so what's the holdup?
It's certainly not Jim Inhofe.

Ahhhh, I love the smell of liberal hypocrisy in the morning.

We Must Pass HCR in Kennedy's Name?

The moonbatty left is using Ted Kennedy's death to promote their Obamacare socialized medicine scam.

Since Ted Kennedy benefited from the very finest healthcare and medical care that our tax dollars can buy... somehow passing a flawed failed socialized medicine program for the rest of us seems like it would be an insult to the Kennedy's and politicians in general.

No, I think we should find something more appropriate to pass in Ted's name and honor.
Something that would reflect the Kennedy legacy more effectively.

Spilly's Grand Slam in 14th Inning Demonstrates Rockies Determination

ABC Sports-

Two years ago the Colorado Rockies used an incredible September run to reach the playoffs. This time, they're not waiting until the final two weeks of the regular season to make their push.

Ryan Spilborghs hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 14th inning, giving the Rockies a come-from-behind 6-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

In 2007 the Rockies had plenty of dramatic wins on their way to the NL pennant, but Spilborghs thinks this team is better than the squad that reached the World Series.

"This is a different team, this a different atmosphere, 2007, that's gone," he said. "That's not even a thought in this clubhouse anymore. This is a totally different animal."

The Rockies appeared to be in trouble, but this team seems to never quit....

The Giants had taken a 4-1 lead in the top of the 14th on Eugenio Velez's two-run triple and Juan Uribe's groundout.

"I thought I had won the game at the time," Velez said. "I thought we had it won."

Brandon Medders walked Dexter Fowler leading off the bottom half. One out later Justin Miller (2-2) relieved and gave up a one-out single to pinch-hitter Chris Iannetta. He then walked Troy Tulowitzki and Adam Eaton to make it 4-2.

Before he stepped in the batter's box Tracy told Eaton to keep the bat on his shoulder.

"I told him not to swing," Tracy said. "Even if Miller threw three balls down the middle, take the strikeout because I wanted Spilly to get a chance to hit."

This win puts the Rockies just 3 games behind the Division leading Los Angeles Dodgers... who just happen to be in town tonight to start a 3 game series.

UPDATE: The red-hot Rockies defeated the Dodgers 5-4 in 10 innings moving up to just 2 games out of first place!

Town Hall Protests Causing Dem's To "Cut N Run" on Public Option?

WASHINGTON – Bowing to Republican pressure and an uneasy public, President Barack Obama's administration signaled Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system.

Facing mounting opposition to the overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives instead of a government-run plan. Such a concession probably would enrage Obama's liberal supporters but could deliver a much-needed victory on a top domestic priority opposed by GOP lawmakers.

Obama Imagining Life Without Fox News... All Flowers and Candy

I feel sorry for the President and his administration.
If not for that one little cable news organization, he would have complete and total reign without any question of his methods or madness from the main stream, "in-the-tank", state controlled news media.

I mean it must be tough fielding even one tough question after an hour of softballs from your pals.
Imagine laughing and joking around with your buddies and supporters in the news media when out of the blue some guy from one tiny cable outlet asks you about ethics or corruption or about some other meaningless trivial issue like the government takeover of private industry one after another.

Worse yet, this one single news channel had the nerve to ask the President of the United States and ruler of the world why people were receiving unsolicited emails on Obama-care from the white-house.

Just imagine how great Obama could be if not for that one news organization hellbent on the truth and being fair and balanced instead of being "in the tank" like everyone else.

I'll betcha' Obama and company spend a good deal of time imagining what it would be like without that one objective eye on them... a good deal of time indeed.

Kudos to Major Garrett... virtually the lone objective news reporter in DC.

University of Colorado Student Stumps Obama on Private Option

A political science/business student from the University of Colorado in Boulder (of all places) Zach Lahn asked President Obama the one question about Obama-care that the President cannot/will not answer directly. Great job Zach!

Zach's question: "We all know the best way to reduce prices in this economy is to increase competition. How in the world can a private corporation [that is] providing insurance compete with an entity that does not have to worry about making a profit, does not have to pay local property taxes...they are not subject to local regulations...how can a company compete with that?"

Be specific, no generalities or philosophical answers please...



Obama- "I just want to point out that I partially answered the question earlier ...it is true that there are certain costs associated with a private business that a government would not have to worry about..." a private entity would be undermined if a government entity is able to get money cheaper" ...this is actually a legitimate debate... I think we can craft a system... there are way's we can address those public issues... but the only point I want to make is that the notion that just by having a public option you have the entire private market place destroyed... I mean UPS and Fed-X are doing just fine against the post office... it's good to have a young person challenging the President to an Oxford style debate, debate is good, I like that, you gotta have hustba ... this is a good debate to have.... the public option whether we have it or not is ....this is just one sliver of it, the right and the left are so fixed on, but I believe we can work them out.... where guys like Nathan are not completely broke from trying to fix his son, you have a bunch of countries with a system where the government is involved with a thriving private insurance market .... nobody is talking about a government takeover of healthcare... I just want to make that point one more time... alright, next question...

Chicago Closed On Monday: Wake Up and Smell The Formaldehyde America

In a preview of Obama-care and the result of big government takeover, the city of Chicago which is home of the most corrupt government history in the entire country and training ground for President Barack H Obama, Rod Blagojevich, Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, ACORN and Mayors (2) Daley will be closed for business on Monday due to "government budget shortages".

"The City of Chicago will basically be closed for business on Aug. 17, a reduced-service day in which most city employees are off without pay, according to a release from the Office of Budget and Management. City Hall, public libraries, health clinics and most city offices will be closed."

So... after the government takes over health-care in this country and has the budget shortfall that is inevitable from such a move, we will see medical facilities that were formally open 7 days per week.... suddenly closed.

Considering all the kickbacks, slushfunds and government corruption in Chicago, if they can't run the government with all that money coming in... then there is zero hope for Obama's free money federal government.

Wake up and smell the formaldehyde America... before it's too late.

British People Take Failed Socialized Healthcare for Granted

Brit's lie to justify their failed socialized healthcare system.

In a scathing article designed to show how bad American medical care is and how fantastic socialized medicine is... the UK's Independent World gives us a look at how the left misrepresents healthcare in America and inadvertently gives us a peek at what healthcare in America WILL look like when it's "free"... long lines, people camping out front overnight and a total failure of the system due to overloading and under funding... you know, the stuff Brit's take for granted.

"In America, the offer of free healthcare is so rare, that news of the magical medical kingdom spread rapidly and long lines of prospective patients snaked around the venue for the chance of getting everyday treatments that many British people take for granted."

What the UK (and Democrats in America) leaves out (intentionally) is that America ALREADY has free healthcare... as I have demonstrated on this blog over and over and over by posting long lists of FREE healthcare and medical services available already to anyone and everyone who actually needs it.
And they also leave out that so-called "treatment British people take for granted" is long lines, long waits for procedures and rationing of medical services.

Score One For Sarah Palin On Obama's 'Death Panel' Debate

US News & World Report- In what can fairly be described as an admission that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin knew what she was talking about, the Senate Finance Committee Thursday dropped language from its bipartisan healthcare reform package that Palin and others had suggested would eventually lead to mandated end-of-life counseling sessions for seniors.

Supporters of Obamacare, including President Barack Obama

, had accused Palin and others of being dishonest in suggesting the counseling sessions would somehow lead to the government encouraging euthanasia as a cost-cutting measure as part of rationed care.

"The rumor that's been circulating a lot lately is this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for death panels that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we've decided that we don't, it's too expensive to let her live anymore," Obama said recently.

"It turns out that I guess this arose out of a provision in one of the House bills that allowed Medicare to reimburse people for consultations about end-of-life care, setting up living wills, the availability of hospice, etc.," he said, adding, "The intention of the members of Congress was to give people more information so that they could handle issues of end-of-life care when they're ready on their own terms. It wasn't forcing anybody to do anything."

The move to drop the end-of-life counseling provisions, as reported by The Hill, suggests otherwise.

"We are working very hard to avoid unintended consequences by methodically working through the complexities of all of these issues and policy options," Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement. "We dropped end-of-life provisions from consideration entirely because of the way they could be misinterpreted and implemented incorrectly."

Grassley said the end-of-life provision in the versions of the healthcare reform bill under consideration in the House would pay physicians to "advise patients about end-of-life care and rate physician quality of care based on the creation of and adherence to orders for end-of-life care."

"Maybe others can defend a bill like the Pelosi bill that leaves major issues open to interpretation, but I can't," Grassley added.

Score one for Sarah Palin.

Democrats Stage "Phony Doctor" At Town Hall Meetings

Thanks to Flopping Aces-

Funny how the Dems accuse opponents of Obama’s Hell Care of being set up or paid when that is exactly what THEY are doing!

Remember the Town Hall meeting on health care held by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (DEMOCRAT-TX) where she rudely talked on her cell phone instead of listening to the question of a real constituent? (video here)

Well, maybe Ms. Jackson Lee was on her phone asking her staff “where’s that fake doctor you planted in here for me to call on.”

Eventually, she found her. Right there in the front row center:

Ms. Jackson Lee embraces “doctor” Roxana Mayer, a “general practitioner” for the last four years. Except of course she’s not. Mayer is a former Texas delegate for Obama, whose name is proudly listed on Obama’s campaign web page.

What’s more is that Mayer doesn’t even live in Jackson Lee’s district. I thought those Dems were going to crack down on that kind of thing? One wonders if Mayer will show up to vote for Jackson Lee in 2010 anyway. Why not? If you can fake being a doctor, why not fake being a voter?

Phony Doc is Friend of Obama Commie Lover

Also sitting in the front row, next to the phony doctor was Mayer’s friend, Maria Isabel, who made a name for herself when she was photographed at an Obama campaign office in Houston sitting at a desk in front of a flag honoring Che Guevara, the famed communist mass murderer of Cuba.

Email the White House at flag@whitehouse.gov and tell them you found something REALLY FISHY going on at Cong. Lee’s Town Hall.

Obama: Eliminating Misinformation By Spreading Misinformation

President Obama is concerned that there is a lot of misinformation being spread around regarding his planned government takeover of our medical industry.

To clear things up (not), the President went on national television and "misinformed" everyone by claiming the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) endorsed his socialized medicine scheme.
They don't.

The AARP immediately released the following statement-
(Politics Daily)
"While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."

Bush Protester Violence... no big deal, Obama Protesters... HORRIFIC NEWS

The hypocrisy of the leftist controlled media and the left in general is on full display providing you aren't blinded by partisan eyes.

Analysis:

"News outlets that are focusing on the incendiary rhetoric of conservatives outside President Obama's town hall meeting Tuesday ignored the incendiary rhetoric -- and even violence -- of liberals outside an appearance by former President George W. Bush in 2002.

When Bush visited Portland, Ore., for a fundraiser, protesters stalked his motorcade, assailed his limousine and stoned a car containing his advisers. Chanting "Bush is a terrorist!", the demonstrators bullied passers-by, including gay softball players and a wheelchair-bound grandfather with multiple sclerosis.

One protester even brandished a sign that seemed to advocate Bush's assassination. The man held a large photo of Bush that had been doctored to show a gun barrel pressed against his temple.

"BUSH: WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE," read the placard, which had an X over the word "ALIVE."

Another poster showed Bush's face with the words: "F--- YOU, MOTHERF---ER!"

A third sign urged motorists to "HONK IF YOU HATE BUSH." A fourth declared: "CHRISTIAN FASCISM," with a swastika in place of the letter S in each word.

Although reporters from numerous national news organizations were traveling with Bush and witnessed the protest, none reported that protesters were shrieking at Republican donors epithets like "Slut!" "Whore!" and "Fascists!"

NYT: "Climate Change Seen as Security Threat"

WASHINGTON - The changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say.

Such climate-induced crises could topple governments, feed terrorist movements or destabilize entire regions, say the analysts, experts at the Pentagon and intelligence agencies who for the first time are taking a serious look at the national security implications of climate change. "

So let me get this straight... the same people (the left) that told us over and over again that terrorists making cell phone calls from foreign countries INTO the U.S. is NOT a threat (warrant-less wiretaps) are now telling us that the natural course of "climate change" (a meaningless term) somehow IS suddenly a threat to our national security.

OMG, what a bunch of morons.... and how stupid do they think we are?

Apparently stupid enough to believe terrorist cellphone calls into the US are not a threat to our national security and stupid enough to believe a thunderstorm is a security threat and stupid enough to believe the whole religion of climate change hoax and stupid enough to believe that the government has a magic rainmaker and rainstopper machine to fix it all... if we raise taxes and take away freedoms to pay for it of course.

Nancy Wants To Play "Find The Nazis"

Nancy "The CIA is Lying" Pelosi is now running around claiming that ordinary people who oppose Obama-care are Nazi's displaying swastika's and of course the state-run news media is gobbling it up and spitting it out as fact.

As you can see from the photo above which is what San-Fran-Nan is referring to, the sign says "NO NAZI'S" as evidenced by the red circle and diagnal line through the symbol. (Photo from Ft Collins CO outside the office of Betsy Markey (D-CO.) Duh.

But back in 1997 two Democrats (T Dashle and J Rockefeller) brought out a man to endorse Hillary-care... and it turned out he had a swastika tattooed on his arm.
The news media ignored this fact as "no big deal" then, but now even the rumor of a conservative and a swastika is front page stuff.
The official Obama health-care logo (Obama has a logo for everything he does) bears a striking resemblance to that infamous symbol however... LINK

From the EIB network-

"What are the similarities between the Democrat Party of today and the Nazi party in Germany?
The Nazis were socialists. The official name of their party was the "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei," which we know as the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The Nazis were against big business and, of course, we all know that they were opposed to Jewish capitalism.
They were insanely, irrationally against pollution.
They wanted two years mandatory voluntary service to Germany.
They had a whole bunch of make-work projects to keep people working one of which was the Autobahn.
They were against cruelty and vivisection of animals but in the radical sense of devaluing human life, they banned smoking. They were totally against that.
They were for abortion and euthanasia of the undesirables as we all know and they were for cradle-to-grave nationalized health care.
The Nazis supported gun control. According to Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, "the Gun Control Act of 1968 was lifted, almost in its entirety, from Nazi legislation."
The Nazis were masters of propaganda. We call it "spin."
They had a plan for eliminating the meaning of Christmas and other religious holidays:

I have always bristled when I hear people claim that conservatism gets close to Naziism.
It is liberalism that's the closest you can get to Naziism and socialism.
It's all bundled up under the socialist banner.
There are far more similarities between Nancy Pelosi and Adolf Hitler than between these people showing up at town halls to protest a Hitler-like policy that's being heralded by a Hitler-like logo."

Edwards is under federal investigation over payments amounting to $114, 000 that were given to Hunter's production company. Hunter was making a movie about Edwards, while he was attempting for the second time to become the Democratic presidential nominee."

Instead we are just dealing with the most corrupt, irresponsible and self serving socialist regime ever to hit American soil.

Obamanomics: Money For Nothing, ...Checks For Free

If you thought the "Cash for Clunkers" was the dumbest idea of the century.... get ready for Cash for Refrigerators.

Yes, you can trade in that old fridge, bring home some cash and perhaps get a new one compliments of your friendly socialist government tax funded handout... in fact you don't even have to buy a new one, the government just wants your old one... or any old one.

Is "Cash For Old Shoes or Dirty Underwear" next?

Vast Right-wing Conspiracy "Orchestrated Unruly Mobs"... LOL

Here is but one example of the hatred and violent protests being orchestrated by some vast right-wing conspiracy.

Just look at the horrifying evil and hate on this protester's face... terrifying. It's obvious that sign was professionally made by some vast rightwing conspiracy headquartered in some oil refinery building on the 145th floor.







Unruly mob and other mall goers are shown "threatening our Democracy" by forming "vigilante mobs" and taking to the streets.
Ohhhh the destruction, the humanity...


Here a "highly orchestrated unruly mob" gathers in alphabetical order by descending height as dictated by some evil rightwing vast conspiracy sitting in some big building somewhere in a big city smoking cigars.







Some of these "highly orchestrated" mobsters even held up some sort of strange red, white and blue symbols Nancy Pelosi referred to as "Swastika's".








BTW- Is Hillary still... "sick and tired"?

Now THAT'S Funny, I don't Care Who You Are !

If you want a really good laugh, check this out. It also happens to be proof the opposition to Obamacare is working.

The wacko-left is upset, foaming at the mouth, rabid and showing genuinely manufactured outrage in fact, over someone (conservatives) having the audacity to dare to question or God forbid, disagree with "the Messiah".

"Orchestrated unruly mobs of misinformed, angry, right wing republicans are successfully frustrating efforts of members of Congress to hold informative town hall public meetings with constituents. Armed with pamphlets and talking points printed off republican web sites, these sign-carrying, shouting barbarians come to public meetings to disrupt and not to discuss."

Funny, wild wacky stuff... and he's just getting warmed up.

Manufactured phony outrage you ask?
Purely. (Or blatant partisan hypocrisy)

If not, where was this outrage when code pink, ACORN and the various Democrat(ic) organized, manufactured, bussed-in, rent-a-protesters were carrying manufactured signs shouting "No Blood for Oil" and "Bush is a Nazi" etc., disrupting the Minute Men from speaking at Columbia University, insulting Sec of State Condi Rice, Vice President Cheney, harassing baning CEO's at their homes and kid's schools.... WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE FROM THESE SO-CALLED "CONCERNED CITIZENS" (lol) THEN?

Hillary Clinton: "I am Sick And Tired..."

Michelle Malkin hits the nail on the head regarding Democrats claiming mere dissenters at Obama's Town Hall Healthcare pep rallies are now somehow "vigilantes" and "mobs".

"Showing up at a congressional town hall and booing a talking points-programmed political hack isn’t “civic vigilantism.” Throwing rocks, pouring cement on train tracks, blocking military shipments, smashing windows, hurling paint, slashing tires, vandalizing businesses, and throwing shoes are vigilante acts.

That is what the anti-war, anti-free trade, anti-Bush mobsters did over the last eight years – and there wasn’t a peep about those brute tactics from Obama’s blogging pals.

They sat quietly while Code Pink disrupted hearings on the Hill and harassed Marine recruiters.

They looked the other way when ACORN illegally broke into homes and stormed foreclosure auctions.

They gave their tacit approval to self-declared “bank terrorists” like Boston housing entitlement organizer Bruce Marks, who show up at the schools of bank executives’ children and bullies them because of their parents’ employment in the name of social justice.

Now, the taxpayers footing the bill for Obama’s redistribution of health and wealth are silent no more – and the unhinged Left is beside itself. The “thoughtful” left-wing response to the Tea Party counterinsurgency can best be summed up by hysterical Hollywood actress Janeane Garafolo, who railed last week: “F**ng redneck d**chebaggery. Unmitigated d**chebaggery.”

It’s not the town halls that have gone wild.

It’s the Tea Party-bashers who can’t tolerate peaceful, open dissent."

Book 'em Dano !

I'm blowing the whistle on AARP and Blue Democrat blog... write 'em up boys. They are disseminating false information about the President's health care plan.

FACT #1: Medicare will not be ended, and no benefits or services will be cut.

FALSE! Obama himself has outlined $313 Billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid two programs that are virtually bankrupt (broke, losing money etc) and are both struggling to provide service to those who need it... so unless AARP and Blue Democrat have some secret plan for how to cut $313 Billion dollars from services and at the same time not cut any services or benefits, then this is simply disseminating false information.

You can't cut billions from a program already in the red and claim to improve service... sorry.

FACT #2: No legislation currently in Congress would mandate the rationing of care. Period.

LOL... you gotta love the use of the word "currently" since they can crank these thousand page bills out overnight. More misleading information on Obama-care.

FACT #3: There is no provision of any piece of legislation that would promote euthanasia of any kind.

No... according to the Obama-care plan they are just going to call you every few years and remind you that you are getting older and are a drain on the system and need to make out a will... you will figure out the rest.


FACT #4: We have not endorsed President Obama's plan.

LOL again, they have not endorsed Obama's plan because the congress is writing the plan not Obama... nobody (including AARP) knows what Obama's plan (or congress' plan) is since nobody has read it... so of course they don't endorse it.... YET !

Will somebody report these people to the white house already?

Remember "Vote or Die" ? I say Oppose Obama-care or Die

This one is for the President in response to his new "report a dissenter" program.

The President is not being honest with you. His healthcare plan is absolutely socialized medicine, make no mistake about it. His healthcare plan is a scam, make no mistake about it. Your medical care will get worse under Obama-care, make no mistake about it.

Remember "Vote or Die" because Bush was going to draft you and send you off to an illegal immoral war that we couldn't win, where you were (according to the slogan) going to die?

Since socialized medicine doesn't work anywhere on the planet and people are dying as a result of socialize medicine everywhere it exists, and in the spirit of "vote or die", I suggest we all "oppose Obama-care or die".

Obamanomics: Private Jets Bad for CEO's; Private Jets Good for Fat-cat Politicians

Remember when Obama & Co. ripped automaker executives for using private Jets?
Obama's rules don't apply to Obama and company however.


House Orders Up 3 Elite Jets; $200 Million Cost...

Gulfstreams For Ferrying Members of Congress...

FLASHBACK: Congress Members Criticize Auto Executives' Jet Travel...

When Democrats Attack

It's very predictable. When Democrats get the jitters that people are catching on to their lies and scams and corruption, what do they do?

Attack of course!
And when Democrats attack it means personal destruction and lies and ridicule just as it is written in Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.

Nancy "the CIA lied" Pelosi is now running around claiming that common everyday people who are attending the town hall meetings scheduled by Democrats to sell their healthcare scam are "carrying swastica's" and such. Other Democrats are crying that these are out of control mob's.

(Like ACORN and code pink protesters?)

Video: Pelosi- Town Hall Protesters are carrying swastika's

VIDEO: DNC Web Ad Attacks Protesters At Dem Town Halls

VIDEO: Man Yells "You're A Liar" To House Leader Steny Hoyer

Take a moment and remember how the adults (Bush & Co) handled protesters and criticism...



I don't recall Condi Rice running to the media whining and complaining and making up lies when code pink repeatedly insulted and yelled and got in her face.







George Bush didn't complain about the horrible things said about him at protests...








In fact George W Bush defended the Dixie Chix right to disagree and said that is what is great about America.












Won't it be great to have the adults back in charge again?

Clunkernomics Perfect Example of "Scandalously Wasteful Economic Policy"

Worth the read- "Obama's ill-considered Clunkernomics"
By Rich Lowry

Money Quote:

"The Clunkers program demands that the old cars be disabled.
In a ritual repeated in dealership lots across America, sodium silicate is being poured into car engines to kill them.
Many of these cars have value and could be sold on the used market.
They are being destroyed senselessly in a diktat reminiscent of Franklin Roosevelt's slaughter of livestock during the New Deal. Decades later, we still haven't learned that the wanton destruction of goods is scandalously wasteful economic policy."

Obama's 'Big Brother' Rat Out a Dissenter Program

Thanks to Flopping Aces for this one...

Gotta love this:

"Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, “facts are stubborn things.”

Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to “uncover” the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions.

Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to 'flag' at whitehouse.gov…"

Recall how the left went bats&%t crazy over the Bush administration big brother. Now Obama wants you to send them information about anyone blogging or sending emails that disagree with his socialism.

It’s all a-ok now tho eh?

Think this kind of thing would of went over well with the left a few years ago?

There is a lot of disinformation about the war in Iraq out there, spanning from casualties to oil conspiracies. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about Iraq that seems fishy, send it to 'flag' at whitehouse.gov….

Nope….didn’t think it would.

Hell, who was it who said this?

“I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

Care to guess? Google it…. Read the rest of this entry »

An Intern and a Box of Cigars?

Stan Geiger blog asked some great questions on recent events in North Korea.

"So there are these two girls.
They were captured, prosecuted and sentenced to prison in North Korea.
Bill Clinton hops on a plane and flies to North Korea for a quick lunch with the psychotic dictator.
Problem solved.
Girls headed home."

Stan goes on to ask the obvious question that of course will never be asked by the media.

"What did you give the psycho, Barry?"

My best guess, considering who he sent over there, is that the trade had something to do with interns and cigars.

Killing Gays In Tel Aviv vs Burning Christian Homes In Pakistan

The left is running with a story out of Tel Aviv Israel where an unidentified man dressed all in black entered a gay club and machine gunned 15 and killed 2 and are using this as an example of conservative or Christian hatred to be compared with and to offset the burning of Christian homes in Pakistan recently by Islamic extremists. According to the left, this evens things out and shows how Christians are just as bad as Islamic extremists if not worse. Islamic extremists burned Christian homes and apparently (according to the reasoning of the left) some rightwing Christian killed the gays in Tel Aviv.

Oklahoma Lefty-
"Liberals should be outraged by the attacks on Christians by Muslims and conservatives should be outraged by the attacks on homosexuals by Christians"

Classically Liberal Blog
"Conservatives love to preach: "Ideas have consequences." And they are right. Ideas do have consequences. When thousands of fundamentalist preachers around the world get up in their pulpits and preach that God hates gays and that he demands "that their blood shall be upon their head," then someone is going to put "God's word" into action. When millions of conservatives campaign for laws that explicitly say that gay people do not deserve the same legal rights as other people, the first step toward dehumanization has taken place. While religiously-motivated hatred is pervasive, we know, with complete certainty, that people will act on that hatred."

One small problem however.

Israel is tolerant of gays and neither Christians nor conservatives go around machine- gunning gays either.... but someone who lives very near Israel does do so. I know the left never wants to blame anyone else for anything they can blame on Christians but... there is zero evidence that a Christian or even an Israeli committed this crime. However there is evidence of who would and probably did.

Gays in Palestine are sneaking across INTO Israel because they are in fact much safer there... safe enough to risk being caught sneaking across the border illegally. Being in Israel among Christians and Jews was the safest place to be.

So in spite of what local authorities are spinning, it turns out that in fact it was more than likely a Palestinian wearing black that murdered those teenagers in Tel Aviv and NOT some Republican. What religion is palestine predominately?
Ohhh yes, it is the same religion as those who burned down the Christian's homes.

Oklahoma Lefty (dave) is right about one thing though.... "These stories should be uniting us instead of dividing us."
Yes, uniting us against our (Christians, Jews, Hindu and non believers alike) common enemy... radical Islam.

Now you know the rest of the story.

Bush's "Folly" is Ending In VICTORY

Boston Globe
"Over the past six years Irag has been transformed from one of the most brutal tyrannies on earth to an example of democratic pluralism in the heart of the Arab world."

'MARKETS without bombs. Hummers without guns. Ice cream after dark. Busy streets without fear." So began Terry McCarthy's report from Iraq for ABC's World News Sunday, one of a series the network aired as the war in Iraq reached its sixth anniversary.

A nationwide poll of Iraqis reveals that "60 percent expect things to get better next year - almost three times as many as a year and a half ago," McCarthy continued. "Iraqis are slowly discovering they have a future. We flew south to Basra, where 94 percent say their lives are going well. Oil is plentiful here. So is money."

In another report two nights later, ABC's correspondent characterized the Iraqi capital as "a city reborn: speed, light, style - this is Baghdad today. Where car bombs have given way to car racing. Where a once-looted museum has been restored and reopened. And where young women who were forced to cover their heads can again wear the clothes that they like."

One such young woman is dental student Hiba al-Jassin, who fled Baghdad's horrific violence two years ago, but found the city transformed when she returned last fall. "I'm just optimistic," she told McCarthy. "I think we are on the right path."

Over the past six years Irag has been transformed from one of the most brutal tyrannies on earth to an example of democratic pluralism in the heart of the Arab world.

For a long time the foes of both the Iraq war and the president who launched it (Democrats) insisted that none of this was possible - that the war was lost, that there was no military solution to the sectarian slaughter, that the surge would only make the violence worse.

Victory was not an option, the critics declared; the only option was to partition Iraq and get out. Time and again it was said that the war would forever be remembered as Bush's folly, if not indeed as the worst foreign policy mistake in US history.

Even now, with a stubbornness born of partisan hostility or political ideology, there are those who cannot bring themselves to utter the words "victory" and "Iraq" in the same sentence. But six years after the war began, it is ending in victory. As in every war, the price of that victory was higher than we would have wished.

The price of defeat would have been far higher.

Victory In Iraq: US Military Shifting Gears

By Army Staff Sgt. Aaron Giannini
Special to American Forces Press Service

CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq, Aug. 3, 2009 – Over the past month, soldiers of Company A, 2nd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery Regiment, have been learning new skills and taking on new challenges as they adapt to a different mission in Iraq.

Rather than combat, the soldiers have been working hand in hand with provincial reconstruction teams that are assisting Iraqis as they build key infrastructures in Dhi Qar, Maysan and Muthanna provinces. The soldiers provide security while reconstruction team members work to improve conditions in this war-torn country.

“Working with the [provincial reconstruction team] has been pretty meaningful, just knowing that we are helping to build a new Iraq,” said Army 1st Lt. Christopher Mitchell, platoon leader.

The soldiers provide security for the team’s officials and construction units that are helping the Iraqis construct schools, clinics and other facilities. These projects will help Iraq transition into a more self-sustaining nation.

“Helping to rebuild a whole country, that’s something I will remember for my whole life,” said Army Pvt. Joshua Cheney, a member of Able’s Blue Platoon.

In addition to their security mission, Able Company soldiers also have been interacting with local residents and leaders, gaining valuable insight into local customs and culture.

“Getting to interact with the local people has been a rare experience,” said Army Spc. Robert Counts, a medic from Millington, Tenn.

(Army Staff Sgt. Aaron Giannini serves with the 1st Armored Division’s 4th Brigade Combat Team.)

Is Michelle Obama America's Kim Jong Il or Ahmadinejad?

Is Michelle Obama America's Kim Jong Il or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

The three leftist populists have a surprising amount in common

Salon- (Red Stater parody on the Sarah Palin comparison).

The three differ in many key respects, of course, but it is remarkable how similar they are. There are uncanny parallels in their biographies, their domestic politics and the way they present themselves -- even in their rocky relationships with party elders.

All three are known for saying things that produce a classic Scooby-Doo double take in their audiences. They appeal to a sort of wounded nationalism, speaking of the sacrifice of dedicated troops for an often feckless public, and identifying themselves with the common person and the poor. In a bid to secure a second term, the Iranian hardline leader has even appropriated Barack Obama's slogan 'Yes we can'

But above all, they are populists who claim to represent the little people against wily and unscrupulous capitalist CEO's, and against pampered upper-middle-class white yuppies pretending to be the voice of democracy. Together, they tell us something about dangerous competing populisms in an age of globalization.

Michelle is a lawyer who's lives a pampered life enjoys photo-ops by working in soup lines and talking about helping the poor... Ahmadinejad, who earned a Ph.D. in civil engineering with top grades, is said to have once dressed up as a janitor and swept the streets when campaigning for mayor of Tehran. Kim Jong Il keeps the poor in poverty while claiming to be their protector and lives a life of luxury in the process. In fact, all three figures are themselves quite comfortable.

All three see press criticisms as coordinated attempts to discredit them not from the media's duty to examine a political figure's policies or public statements, but from a "vast conspiracy".

Left-wing populism, socialism and communism rooted in the anti-religion, anti-American culture and aspirations of Marxism, is often caricatured as insane by its critics. That judgment is unfair. But it is true that such movements often encourage a political style of exhibitionism, disregard for the facts as understood by the mainstream media, and exaltation of the values of people who feel themselves marginalized by the political system. Not all forms of protest, however, are healthy, even if the protesters have legitimate grievances as we saw during the Vietnam and Iraq wars with the highly partisan and outright irresponsible actions of the left.

Michelle Obama was learning from the likes of Bill Ayers and Reverend Jeremiah Wright while Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was being tutored by terrorists and extremists like Ayatollah Khomeini.

But then again, if you compare Michelle Obama to N Korea's Kim Jong Il, they both hate George W Bush and they both hate America in general, they both love Barack and they both love Hugo Chavez and Michael Jackson.

The similarities are striking... too close to call I'd say!
