You'll Feel A "Pinch" When The Needle Goes In. That's Called The "Point".

Missing The Point On Health Care Reform

If health care passes, but then gets repealed, the President wins. If health care passes, and Democrat Senators don’t get reelected, the President wins. If health care passes, and the House switches to Republican, the President wins. If more Americans are without health care, the President wins.

And Barack Obama thinks that when he wins, America wins. He IS the new America. He is wrong, but don’t anyone tell him that. Not that he’s listening anyway.

This bill is as empty as the President himself. It is meaningless, at this point. Everyone hates it and not because that’s what happens when big bills get passed. Everyone hates this bill because it’s the worst sort of American politics: selling out to special interests, increasing the scope and influence of government, individual mandates, covering the wrong procedures, increasing taxes, cutting care. It’s all in there. It’s vile. And still, all these “historic” provisions are meaningless because they’re all expendable. [...]

This health care bill will be a Democratic soul-killing, empty, symbolic victory and be the perfect symbolic show for the perfect symbolic President. He can say, “I won.”

And that’s the point of this bill.

Don't worry though, when they're through draining your wallet... they'll give you a cookie and some juice. But if you need to see a doctor... unfortunately there'll be bit a of wait.

Barney Frank present during marijuana bust

Sources tell FOX25 that when Frank was questioned he told police that he did not live in the house and that he only smoked cigars.

Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed with what police found. He also tells us that he wouldn’t recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, “not a great outdoorsman,” and ,”wouldn’t recognize most plants.”

Barney, I was going to say I didn’t believe a word of your explanation… then I remembered that you didn’t know there was whore house operating out of your basement and you thought Fannie and Freddie were solvent and well run, so I concede the point. You must really be that stupid.

Go FLAG Yourself!

Flag Yourself Campaign: From Steven Crowder at Big Hollywood

Dear White House Snitch Commissar (flag@whitehouse.gov),

I wish to turn myself in. I have negative feelings and thoughts about the health care legislation which means I obviously have no idea what's good for me. I realize now that I should leave highly personal health care decisions to the federal government instead. While I'm at it, I should also admit that I was and still am against the stimulus. I admit now that the federal government will probably spend my money better than I ever could.

I'd also like to turn in my friends and relatives, from whom I have heard what you have called "disinformation," directly contradicting what the administration has been telling us. They embarrass themselves with their blatant opposition to President Obama and the Democratic Party. They flaunt their First Amendment rights as though they are unalienable!

While I'm at it, I should mention that my pharmacist was saying negative things about the health care legislation. I also heard two ladies discussing it at the grocery store the other day with obvious reservations. I didn't get their names, but the store is in Greenville on Verdae Boulevard. My dentist, hair stylist and even a few neighbors have all been saying how they think the legislation is a bad idea. It's all been in casual conversations, but I think that counts. I don't think my dog is wild about the plan either, but she drinks from mud puddles so I'll cut her some slack.

I wish to thank you for what you're doing. People who have no idea what's good for them may never admit it, so turning them in is really the only option. According to recent polls, around 52% of the United States' citizenry are such people, so you've got a lot of work to do.

Good luck.

Kevin Palmer
Greenville, SC

Politics Often Requires Stitches...

Remember people - if Obama or ACORN does it then it's a sedate "community organized" meeting. If a conservative or conservative group does it... IT'S A MOB! RUN! RUN!

Mob Rule or Democracy in Action? Health Care Debate Focuses on Opponents Over Substance

Democrats are stepping up their campaign against opponents of health care reforms, depicting town hall audiences protesting a Democratic-sponsored bill as angry mobs duped into hostile actions by special interest groups.

The Democratic National Committee released a Web video and e-mail on Wednesday blasting opponents of the 10-year, $1 trillion plan.

Titled "Enough of the Mob," the ad warns that the "right wing extremist base" is back after losing the presidential election, a series of legislative battles and the confidence of Americans. [...]

Republicans have seized on the charges.

"Instead of acknowledging the widespread anger millions of Americans are feeling this summer toward Democrat-controlled Washington, Washington Democrats are trying to dismiss it as a fabrication," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement. "That isn't likely to sit well with Americans outside of Washington who are struggling and wondering when their elected leaders are going to wake up and change course."

The Republican National Committee fired back with an e-mail titled "THE MOB? Hey Democrats, They're Called The American People." The e-mail goes on to list a series of links to stories and polls revealing growing doubts about Obama's top domestic priority and his economic policies.

And the Libertarian Party said Obama, a former community organizer, should think twice before approving a campaign that attacks communities for organizing, even if it's against him.

"Libertarians find it ironic a community organizer is now using the government to try and stop people from organizing their communities," Libertarian National Committee spokesman Donny Ferguson said in a statement.

"Instead of using official edicts to smear, slander and intimidate everyday Americans into silence, Democrats should listen to the majority of Americans and drop their plans for a radical government takeover of their health care."

My opinion? If these are organized groups getting out to protest this health care scam - it's about damn time! that conservatives & libertarians got their act together. How long have Democrats used Unions as a personal "flash mob"? Decades? A century? Not to mention ACT, Moveon.org, the Kossacks, and other Soros funded armies. Politics is rough and tumble - and filled with dead smelly fish as Rahm hath shown us - so if Dems can't stand the sight of needles and scalpels... and blood... maybe they should get out of the operating room.

Congress fears voters; meetings in home districts cancelled

Now that it is clear we have gotten their attention with our sheer outrage over their planned government takeover of healthcare, their cockeyed scheme to ruin the American economy with 'cap and trade,' and their asinine trillion-dollar bailouts of fat cats on Wall Street, the Congress vermin seem to wish to crawl back back behind the walls rather than face their constituents who put them in office.

Let them fear. Let them worry that every flicker of light is a torch, every clang of metal is a pitchfork, and every squawk is a bird being plucked of its feathers to go with the tar.

Does Sully Want Bipartisanship For Bipartisanship Sake?

Andrew Sullivan offers his perspective on the vote for the stimulus package. Considering his increasingly risible meandering into what the hell happened to you? land (Trig Palin anyone?), I don't think he should be so quick to throw around pejoratives like "autistic" and "ideological".

It seems to escape Andrew's understanding that the Republicans in Congress may actually be responding to the people who sent them to Washington. Bipartisanship simply for the sake of bipartisanship is not only stupid, but dangerous.

This Is Not A Bad Idea...

Brett Joshpe - writing at Big Hollywood - advocates putting an item back in the "stimulus" bill:

Until Republicans acted this week, the Senate was actually prepared to bestow hundreds of millions of dollars of stimulation for Hollywood. The “Hollywood clause” would have given movie studios special tax breaks and enabled them to depreciate the costs of production equipment at a quicker rate. Perhaps, however, Congress should consider reinserting that provision. Doing so would give us the perfect excuse to impose the types of compensation controls on the movie industry that President Obama is now demanding of other industries who receive federal help.

Unlike the greedy Wall Street executives though, who have torpedoed our economy by allowing federal bureaucrats to bludgeon them into making bad loans, Hollywood would surely understand the merit of pay caps. After all, it would enable the entertainment world to fulfill its pledge “to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.” (Cut for laughter and gagging and take two!)

Of course Ashton and Demi, and Cameron Diaz, and Julia Roberts, et. al. would have no problem agreeing to cap their salaries at $500,000 - or even lower if it would help The One! They would do that right? Right? Hey Ashton, just remember that if you take my money - then I get to come on the set and direct...

Dear Politicians...

"Something needs to be done" is not a magic phrase. It also doesn't mean that "anything and everything" should be done. Of course with Republicrats like Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and Arlen Spectre prowling the halls of the capitol there's no chance of stopping the bill.

Yowch!

Forget the icecaps, Victor Davis Hanson says there's a meltdown of epic proportion coming in the Obama White House. Our enemies are challenging us, Obama is flipping and flopping on his pretty campaign trail rhetoric (rendition and FISA anyone?), several of his key appointees are dusty if not downright dirty, and the Democratic Congress is set to use B. Hussein as a rubber stamp for their own agenda. Hanson draws the following conclusion: If he doesn't quit the messianic style and perpetual campaign mode, and begin humbly governing, then he will devolve into Carterism—angry that the once-fawning press betrayed him while we the people, due to our American malaise, are to blame.

How Sweet It Would Be...

Jesse Jackson Jr. Denies Wrongdoing In Governor's Corruption Case

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. denied any wrongdoing Wednesday in the corruption case against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, after his lawyer acknowledged that the Illinois congressman was likely the "Senate Candidate 5" named in the FBI complaint. [...]

Senate Candidate 5 is listed in the FBI complaint, which includes a compendium of wiretapped conversations involving Blagojevich and his allies, as being named by the governor as an option for Obama's Senate seat because he would pay or raise money to Blagojevich's re-election campaign.

According to the affidavit, in a Dec. 4 recording of Blagojevich with an unnamed adviser and unnamed fundraiser, the governor says he may be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provides Blagojevich with something "tangible up front."

If Blagojevich ran for re-election, Senate Candidate 5 would "raise money" for the campaign, the affidavit alleges.

I didn't think this could get any better, but my goodness wouldn't a Jesse Jackson Jr. indictment just be the whipped cream topping on this whole corruption case?

Excellent Choice

Louisiana Voters Oust Indicted Rep. William Jefferson

Voters in Louisiana ousted indicted Democratic Rep. William Jefferson on Saturday, instead electing a Republican attorney who will be the first Vietnamese-American in Congress.

Unofficial results showed Anh "Joseph" Cao denying Jefferson a 10th term. Republicans made an aggressive push to take the seat from the 61-year-old incumbent, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of bribery, laundering money and misusing his congressional office.

Cao, 41, won a predominantly black and heavily Democratic district that covers most of New Orleans.

Now Jefferson can concentrate on his trial and further development of his "cold cash" refrigeration technology, and the citizens of his district can hopefully have an effective (and honest) leader representing them in Congress.
