Hold your nose and take your Medicine

My fellow Terrorists and Comrades,
I know many of you are disappointed by the health care debacle. What was supposed to be a government take over of health care and second step towards socialism and world government is now a watered down version of that glorious vision. Still, we must support our Kenyan president and trust that he knows best. True, the bill does not fund baby killing, but it still includes rationing and death panels. Just you wait until next year grandma, you'll get yours! CALL YOUR CONGRESSPERSON AND DEMAND HE/SHE/HIR VOTE TO PASS THE BASTARDIZED VERSION OF THE HEALTH BILL NOW!!!

Sticker Shock

The Chicago Tribune had a sad article about a student who was beaten to death. He received 5 minutes of the highest level of emergency care, but could not be revived. The undiscounted 'rack rate' the hospital charged for the 5 minutes of care: $29,186.50.

Relapolitik as Usual

I got an email from info@barackobama.com a couple of weeks ago. It began:
Last year, millions of Americans came together for a great purpose.

What followed was an appeal for a donation to support the president's health care proposals...
... To prevail, we must once more build a coast-to-coast operation ready to knock on doors, deploy volunteers, get out the facts, and show the world how real change happens in America.
Sincerely,
President Barack Obama

So what real change has happened? On the plus side we have a new female Supreme Court nominee that is accused of racism by frightened Republicans. There is a new tone in our foreign policy and rhetoric about science, and perhaps a little more openness in government, although the ACLU is now going after the Obama administation on issue like torture, due process and freedom of information.

The stimulis plan might be a plus, if the money isn't wasted on corruption or incompetence. Other than that, what I see is Bush Lite. Same Secretary of Defense, similar policies in the Middle East, similar cozy relationship with Wall Street, and NO SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE on the table.

I'm still relieved that Obama won and the Democrats at last have 60 votes in the Senate, but have been underwhelmed so far. Who knows, maybe in 2012 we'll have a 4 party race for the Presidency.

That's all for now...

Is this nation now under the thrall of a terroristic, America loathing, Islamic socialist, or a pragmatic left of center politician with cool charisma? Time will tell. Let's hope the red baiting neo racists can temporarily put country first and give the man a chance.

DRILL BABY DRILL

Remember President Bush's State of the Union address in 2006 (Bush Says 'America Is Addicted to Oil' ). In the same speech, President Bush also called for training 70,000 math and science teachers to improve the nation's competitiveness. I wonder what a President Palin would do?

And now for something completely different

I received an email hyping Sean Hannity's Fox News expose tonight that will reveal "the Truth" about Obama's "racist" spiritual leader and terrorist mentors.
John Cleese has penned a few lines to the fair and balanced journalist:
Ode to Sean Hannity by John Cleese
Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity Hannity

Smears and loathing on the Internets

I've been reading a lot of conservative blogs the past week. Seems Obama is not only a liar socialist and terrorist, he also hates hard working white people. Obama is heading up a shadowy campaign to stuff the ballot boxes Chicago style through the DNC goon squad and "community organizers" like ACORN. Oh, and liberals hate America and are judgemental hypocrites who mock real life heroes like Joe the Plumber.
It doesn't matter that Joe doesn't belong to the plumber's union, have a plumbing license, earn $250,000, or would get a tax cut under Obama's proposal. Joe says Obama is a socialist.

Of course the old McCain sometimes resurfaces. A few weeks ago McCain gave his Democratic opponent a little praise when a supporter accused Obama of being an untrustworthy "Ay-Rab."
On Larry King Live last week, Senator McCain admitted Barack Obama is not a socialist. Then it was back to smear tactics as usual. In the same interview McCain claimed that Obama is associated with yet another terrorist professor, Rashid Khalidi. Liberals blogs gleefully pointed out that McCain directed nearly a half million dollars to Khalidi's Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank.
It's the same story regarding McCain's claims of Obama supporting voter fraud by his association with ACORN. McCain was for it before he was against it. Read the story here.
