They couldn’t be this evil, could they?
Would the Freedom-Haters really use the Slaughter Rule?
We’re in what’s known as a Constitutional crisis.
Ruminations on music, culture, America and the world stage
Would the Freedom-Haters really use the Slaughter Rule?
We’re in what’s known as a Constitutional crisis.
. . . Chris Van Hollen and Louise Slaughter are vying for he status of most evil and Constitution-shredding Freedom-Hater of all.
A new poll conducted by Democracy Corps-Third Way (that’s Carville and Greenberg, not some rightie bunch) shows the public thinking that America’s standing in the world has dropped under the Most Equal Comrade, and has FHers trailing Pubs as being better on national security and the general direction of the country.
The Brit Freedom-Haters are trying to conceal the failure of the National Health Service.
Time to revisit Free Market Cure’s Ten Myths about Single-Payer Health Care.
This is serious stuff. Play-time is over. We are talking about whether the United States of America will survive in the form in which it’s existed for 234 years.
Our enemy is playing for keeps. We must be relentless in fighting it.
. . . Well, just read the whole thing. It will make your head spin.
John Boehner’s statement on TCM’s latest desperate attempt to salvage socialist health care.
Does this mean you won’t be going to the summit?
In the course of a post entitled “NYT Admits Conservatives Are Right About Government Health Care,” Hot Air provides some very eye-opening information. For instance, did you know that Medicaid denies claims at nearly double the rate of private-sector insurance? Or that Kathleen Sibelius thinks the time is ripe to once again push for a public option?
The Freedom-Haters are still determined to get to single payer.
There are still several days before the Blair House ”summit” to which The Aquarian Totalitarian has invited Pub congressional leaders. Let’s pray to almighty God they do the only thing they ought to do: say, “No, thanks, Mr. President,” or “go to Hell,” or however they would like to put it.
Observations on three aspects of the current D.C. meltdown. (HT: Real Clear Politics)
WSJ on the implications of Evan Bayh’s announcement.
Jeff Birnbaum on TCM’s inability or refusal to lead, and the vacuum that has created in Washington, at least until a critical mass of Pubs fully grasp the gravity of the situation and step up accordingly.
Dick Morris uses the term “ruin” to describe what TCM has done to the Freedom-Hater party.
We look out our front windows, up and down the streets where we live, and see daily American life ostensibly going on like it did five years ago, ten, fifty, one hundred years ago. Few of the people you see maneuvering through their day, however, are oblivious at this point to the sense that there is no hand on the tiller.
The more this unfolds, the more I understand the importance of Diana West’s 2007 book, Death of the Grownup. We have developed a pathological incapacity for seriousness. The leader of the free world is surrounded by the grimmest of challenges, many of his own making, and he still struts about like the winner of American Idol. There is an undeniable groundswell of Americans waking up to the gravity of our current juncture, but there is still a too-large infrastucture of “journalists,” “educators,” “artists” and “religious leaders” – to say nothing of “legislators” and “administrators” – who think our current course is just dandy.
A precarious state like this cannot last indefinitely.
53 % of Dems view the term “socialism” favorably, per Gallup.
I’d like to make the case for Barney Frank. Check out his remarks about meeting with banking-industry leaders in Davos, Switzerland.
Telling indeed is San Fran Nan’s response to a reporter’s solicitation for a response to Ford being the only US car company to turn a profit this year. She sniffed about how commendable it was that Ford lived up to its “responsibility,” whatever that means in her warped totalitarian mind.
Consider the new grant money the broke state of Michigan is going to dole out for more electric-car research.
Then read Payne’s last couple of paragraphs, which have to do with the actual consuming public eschewing the utopian hooey and flocking to the section of the show where the petroleum-powered normal-people cars were.
. . . in which politically suicidal moves are considered visionary gifts to humanity. The FHers in the California legislature think this is an ideal time to press for statewide single-payer health care.
Now the FHers are looking at going after the investment income of people making over $200,000/year in order to get Medicare money for the socialist bloating of that program.
Yeah, that’s the ticket. Further dry up capital for the nation’s businesses.
This is on purpose. Any politician – even a far-lefty within what until last year were considered the parameters of normal American political behavior – other than this bunch would see the numbers indicating the seething displeasure of the American people and the numbers indicating their inability to find work and back off from such obviously stupid moves.
This is about a program to move wealth from some people to others, in keeping with a perverse vision most recently examined here in the post “Unicorns Rainbows Jackboots and Gulags.”
This is evil. This is our enemy.
