Using Fraud and Deceit To Pass Death Care

Monday (3/15/10) the Emperor was in Strongsville, OH to push his Death Care plan before an adoring audience. Isn’t it interesting that no one who is opposed to anything that he says is ever permitted to attend one of his cheer-leading sessions? Every single so-called “townhall” that he attends is nothing more than a rally.

The point of this post is the fact that Mr. Obama likes to use anecdotal examples in support of his efforts to illustrate a perceived need for his socialist takeover of America. His use of sick people to push his Death Care plan is bordering on morbid because he has no interest in helping any of the people he and his fellow Democrats parade before the cameras in order to tell some tear-jerking sob story about how they lost their health care. Their only interest? Looking good before the cameras as if they actually care about the plight of us peasants. – Excuse me as I wipe the tear from my eye…

Problem – it doesn’t work.

It is illegal for health care professionals and institutions to refuse vital life-saving treatments based solely on an individual’s inability to pay. Barack Hussein Obama again paraded the image of a woman undergoing cancer treatments at the Cleveland Clinic as an example of why his Death Care plan is needed now.

Tall tale telling Obama is really effective at explaining how Natoma Canfield lost her health coverage due to cost and finding out that she has a recurrence of cancer. She wrote him a tear drenched letter expaining that she feared that the Cleveland Clinic was going to slap a lien on her house in leu of payment. Problem – it isn’t true.

Yes, Natoma Canfield had a diagnosis of cancer 16 years ago and as a result her insurance carrier now considers her a high risk patient and they subsequently raised her rates. In December, she found out that her premiums were going to be increased 40% over the previous year (2009). She couldn’t afford to pay the exorbitant amount so she dropped her own policy because she couldn’t pay for it. She was then diagnosed with Leukemia and is currently admitted to the Cleveland Clinic for treatment.

The problem with her story is in the worry about losing her home. The Cleveland Clinic has no intention of putting a lien on her home. As-a-matter-of-fact, she most likely qualifies for Medicaid coverage. If not, there are charities which will cover her medical costs. Truth be told, the Cleveland Clinic is one of those charities as well as several local churches. Not to mention there is a little old thing called HCAP in Ohio which would pay Ms. Canfield medical expenses if she meets certain income restrictions. But Mr. Obama didn’t explain any of that to the hundreds of adoring sheeple he addressed yesterday in the Cleveland suburb.

The truth of the matter is Natoma Canfield is nothing more than a willing pawn in Obama’s power grab. Even if his plan passes and her claims of a threat to her home were true, Natoma would die before Obamacare kicks in sometime in 2013 or 2014.

The only way they can get things done is to use tricks and tactics. They will first attempt to convince the voters by wetting a story down with tears to tear at the heart-strings of the voters because they know that Americans cannot sit by and watch a fellow citizen die without doing something to help. Then they will use trickery like Reconciliation and the “Slaughter Solution” to circumvent the legislative process. Finally they will use bribery, fraud, and deceit to get their agenda passed.

This debate has never been about health care because the Democrat leadership doesn’t give a damn about your health. They only care about their reelection. This debate is 100% about control.

The early 20th Century Progressives knew the way to gain the level of control they desired was through health care. Once they are paying the bill, they can now dictate to you how to live your life. Novelist George Orwell warned us of such a society as dreamed up by Progressives in ‘1984′. They are already revising history what’s next? Unpeople?

The ‘Slaughter Solution’ Officially Nixed By Senate Parliamentarian

I love The Drudge Report. It is like one stop shopping for news stories. As of this writing, there is a headline up on Drudge that says…

Ruling Kills an Option for Moving Health Bill…

Note: The link to the story from Drudge is incorrect and it leads nowhere. In the interest of full disclosure, the link that I’ve embedded is the correct link to the story.

I read that headline and got excited. “Is the plan to use Reconciliation dead?” Not exactly…

According to Roll Call, the Senate Parliamentarian has made a ruling that directly impacts a tactic that has been in the works in the House that has been dubbed the ‘Slaughter Solution’. Named for House Rules Chairman – Louise Slaughter – it is a tactic whereby the House would approve the Senate bill but would not forward it onto the White House for signature until AFTER the Senate approved changes to the current Senate bill through Reconciliation. Problem – the bill must become law before the Senate can modify it through Budget Reconciliation. Meaning, it must have the President’s signature BEFORE the Senate can proceed. If it chooses to.

As I’ve pointed out before, Senate Democrats are going to want the issue of “health care” to die and die quickly after a law if passed. Once the ink from the President’s signature is dry on that document, they want to forget about it because that bill represents a massive net loss in Senate seats for the Democrats on November 4th. Dragging this thing out will only keep the matter fresh in the minds of the voting public and they Do – Not – Want – That. Senate Democrats are banking on America’s short-term memories and political ADHD to keep them in power even if by only one seat.

If this bill is approved by the House, after the President’s signature is on it, should the Senate attempt to amend it through Budget Reconciliation they can only address items that impact the federal budget. Policy is left out of the equation anyway. So any hopes for substantive changes in the bill are automatically nixed. However, the Republicans will stone wall any changes made to the bill through the amendment process further dragging out the debate. ‘Health Care’ – more aptly named Death Care, will drag out towards the summer months when every single Republican candidate for House and Senate will be using members voting records on this hotbed issue to sink every single Democrat candidate they can.

The American public want a mulligan. They would rather nothing pass than this bill. But Democrat understand if this bill does not pass the President’s agenda is sunk. With 279 of them currently serving in elected office indelibly tied to Obama on this issue, Michael Moore’s prediction of the November election will be an inconvenient reality. He told Rachel Madcow…

“And now it’s like, I just feel like the Democrats are – they’re in for an ass-whooping of Biblical proportions in November if they don’t get off the dime and do the job they were sent there to do. I mean that. I mean, it – don’t they see that?” – source Newsbusters

Vulnerable Democrats are avoiding the President like the plague. When Obama chose to propagandize the American people through an orchestrated event at a St. Louis high school where was Missouri Senatorial candidate Robin Carnahan? She was attending a fundraiser in Washington DC. While Obama was helping incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill raise money for her 2012 re-election campaign.

Obama is fast becoming a political liability for Democrats facing a jobloss in 2010. His track record to this point is dismal. He failed in Copenhagen twice. He failed to be any help in New Jersey and Virginia as both races for governor were lost to the Republican candidates. He failed in Massachusetts allowing the Republican candidate to be elected and losing his filibuster proof Senate.

I said his filibuster proof Senate because that is what it was. A 60 vote majority of yes-men/women. With 60 votes they could have literally rubber-stamped anything that he wanted. But they didn’t and that’s how he ended up in this predicament.

How else can you explain what has happened? How else could his “health care” takeover have failed? It was completely done within his Party. Blaming Republicans to his base may be popular with his incredibly shrinking base but the reality of the situation is understood by a vast majority of voting Americans and it shows in the polls. Even the incredibly Democrat friendly Gallup Poll has Obama’s approval rating at an all time low (for their poll) at 46%. How much lower can he go?

According to Rasmussen Reports and their Presidential Approval Index he is sitting at -21. Meaning 21% more Americans strongly disapprove of his job performance than strongly approve.

Before the 2008 elections I told all of you that Obama is a man who has failed at every single thing he has tried except running for a couple of political offices – including the Presidency. Why would the electorate put trust in a man who is an epic failure? They did and this is what we got.

He is liar of grand proportions who makes Slick Willy’s finger wagging look like an innocent white lie. He has broken just about every single campaign promise he made. Why would anyone trust this man? The incredibly shocking thing is there are millions who do. Thank GOD most of them never vote.

Pelosi: “We’re Close”; But Are They?

March 11, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Chicago Politics Goes National, Death Care, Democrat Corruption, Democrat In-Fighting, Democrat Incompetence, Fiscal Irresponsibility, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

For over a year now the Democrats have been engaged in an intraParty battle over what they are attempting to call a health care bill. Before I go on, can we all agree to call a spade a spade here? This isn’t health care reform at all. This is a systematic dismantling of the health insurance industry. Nothing in any of the bills that have been discussed over the past year has anything to do with health care. The Emperor’s quest to make health insurance coverage more affordable has nothing to do with actual health care. Just who pays for it.

We can argue until the cows come home about the validity of the Emperor’s suggested proposals. The truth is what is being discussed isn’t really his bill. He doesn’t have a bill. There are only two real bills. The House bill written by Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman and their lobbying buddies; and the Senate bill written by Harry Reid and his lobbyist buddies. The House bill is now deceased. May it rest for eternity along with the Third Reich.

The current “debate” is over the Senate bill. And much to the dismay of the uber-left, they cannot blame the stalemate on Republicans. Why? Because for over 98% of the time spent “debating” this issue, Republicans were denied a seat at the table. This has been a 100% Democrat show and the hold up is within their Party. Reid, Pelosi, and Obama can talk all they want about Republican obstructionism but truth be told until Scott Brown was seated, Republicans couldn’t stop it.

They wanted this thing passed by the summer recess. That didn’t happen. Then it was Labor Day. Nope. Halloween? Sorry. Thanksgiving? Try again. Christmas… They did get the Senate bill passed by Christmas but it was so far away from the House bill that it was basically a non-starter for Conference. Then along came Mr. 41 – Scott Brown – who has vowed to be a NO vote against this boondoggle. Now the Dems are still attempting to find a way to pass something marked (accurately or not) “health care reform” without needing to include Republicans because if they were forced to include the opposition party they would have to compromise on their more Socialist agenda items. And they are NOT willing to do that.

All the fighting has been between Democrats. Because they cannot achieve cloture in the Senate, the only way to pass anything is for the House to pass the Senate bill as is – without warranty show me the Carfax. But they can’t show the House the Carfax because it doesn’t exist. The premise is that the House would pass the Senate bill as is in exchange for a promise to amend the bill through budge reconciliation after it is signed into law. Yeah right. House members are not about to give the Senate a free pass and not get anything of their bill included.

Unlike what has been plastered all over the media for the past 2 – 3 weeks, reconciliation probably won’t be an issue since the likelihood of the House finding the votes needed to pass the Senate bill is about the same as Frosty the Snowman surviving for an hour in a sauna. Let’s look at some numbers.

The House bill barely passed 220 – 215. 217 votes were needed for passage. One of those votes was a Republicans who is now a confirmed NO vote with no chance of changing. One yes vote (John Murtha) has died and two others yes votes have resigned. Another Democrat was a NO and resigned. Still another No vote is no longer a Democrat as he switched Parties right after the vote. By this math Pelosi has the 216 she needs.[1]

Now lets discuss Pelosi’s problems with another group of yes votes last time. Rep. Bart Stupak and a collection of pro-life Democrats are vowing to vote no because the Senate bill allows for federal funding of abortion. There seems to be a level of conjecture about whether or not Stupak and company are willing to betray the pro-life cause in the face of the Chicago tactics of arm twisting and bribery. Never-the-less, Pelosi needs every single Stupak vote or this fails.

Yet other Democrats who were yes votes on the House bill may be no votes on the Senate bill because it isn’t liberal enough. Many pro-public option Democrats may not vote with Pelosi on this because no public option language is included in the legislation and it cannot be added in reconciliation.

The votes simply do not exist and the longer this drags out the less likely it will be to pass. As time clicks by the deeper into primary season we get. Many of those who the Infestation and Pelosi want to vote for this bill may be unwilling to do so if this drags on much longer. A clear majority of Americans do not want this bill. The nation is divided upon whether anything should be done at this time or not but the fact remains, a majority do not want this bill.

As primary season progresses, fewer Democrats will be willing to stretch their necks for this bill. And that may lead to its ultimate demise. Democrats know how unpopular the bills is and may see a vote in favor of it as being a couple of hundred thousand votes against them for reelection. And they’d be right.

Republicans will be using members’ positions on this bill as a campaign tool against incumbent Democrats in November. No votes will stand a chance but yes votes, unless the member is from a very ~~socialist~~ ‘progressive’ area of the country, will signal an early retirement.

In short I don’t believe they are as close as they are leading to believe. If they were, why then would they be asking the White House to back off their March 18th time-line? Food for thought.

Doubling Down on Death Care

Yesterday the Emperor paraded out a bunch of people in white lab coats – claimed them to be doctors, physicians’ assistants, and nurses – to publicly “instruct” Congress that the time for debate is over. Like a strict father to his petulant children he said (in a nutshell), “the time of tomfoolery is over so get to work and pass my bill.”

Where his clout comes from he hasn’t a clue. But in the opinion of this voting citizen anyone who votes for this sham of a “health care bill” is committing political suicide. I guess he hasn’t noticed but the primary season has begun and at-risk members of the House and Senate are going to be very weary about sticking their necks too far out. They have the fear of a fattened-up turkey on Thanksgiving in their eyes.

He arrogantly touted that this plan has the best aspects of both Democrat and Republican proposals in it. But – it really doesn’t. It has all the destructive aspects of the Progressives in it for sure, but nothing of substance from the right. The American people know this to be true and their Congress-critters know that their constituents aren’t as stupid as the Emperor hopes they are.

Senate Democrats don’t really want any part of using budget reconciliation to placate the far left in the House. Not to mention, they can’t until the House passes the already passed Senate bill which hasn’t a snowball’s chance in Satan’s bedroom of passing in the House.

Harry Reid knows that he’s out of a job come the end of the year so he’s willing to double down with the Emperor. Pelosi, she knows that the libtards in her district are just stupid enough to continue down the road to socialism even as those very policies are destroying their home state. So she’s comfortable in knowing that her job is safe – her job as a US Congress-critter that is. As for being Speaker? In her mind it has been a good 4 years,. But come January, she has to give up her private airline.

Any Senator up for re-election is toast if they sign onto passing this thing under reconciliation. Any Progressive Congress-critter knows that they are toast if they sign on to the Senate bill. Any moderate Congress-critter knows they are as well.

In short, I don’t think this thing has legs. Honestly, I don’t see it passing because too much power is at stake. Too many in Congress will see their political futures go by the wayside with their “yes” vote. The Emperor is still in there punching though. He’s already begun to hand out bribes.

From the Weekly Standard…

Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

Think back dear reader to the 2006 midterms… Remember a term the left used to gain power by appealing to the politically apathetic? The term was “Culture of Corruption”. What do you call a Democrat Leadership in the House, Senate, and White House who buys votes for legislation using political payoffs, appointments, and graft? How about a Party who keeps disgraced members in Committee Chairs in the midst of ethics investigations? What do you call a Presidential Administration who appoints a tax cheat to head the Department of the Treasury? I don’t know about you but to me that defines what a true “Culture of Corruption” is.

It is up to us – WE THE PEOPLE – to do what we have done since they first set a deadline to pass this monstrosity. Make our voices heard on Capital Hill. The message should be loud and clear. Pass this bill and resign because come November – you are out of a job Jack.

The message to the incoming Congress should be just as clear. Repeal EVERYTHING this Congress has passed immediately.

Make no mistake – there is about to be regime change on Capital Hill. It’s going to happen. The question for Democrats is how much control are you willing to give up? The more of you who sign on the greater the Republican majority will be.

So go ahead lefty – sign on to a bill and a process which short circuits the American people. We kind of want you to.

Can Liberal News Media Sustain Itself Without Commercial Advertising?

February 28, 2010 Communism, Liberal MSM Bias, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, MSM Ignorance, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, The Fiction of Global Warming, socialism Comments Off

It is well known that in the war that is cable news, Fox is destroying CNN and literally killing MSNoBodyCares. Evidence of this became overwhelmingly evident as I experienced first hand recently.

In my home the ONLY time MSNoBodyCares is EVER displayed on my television is during the Olympics. Earlier this evening, I was at my wife’s parents’ home and they were watching a couple of apolitical programs on MSNoBodyCares. After a while something began to occur to me. All of the commercials were promos for their own losing leftist political shows. Not one of the ads were for a commercial product or service. As-a-matter-of-fact, some of the promos were running back to back for the same show. How lame can they be?

There were ads for Rachel Mad-cow, Mr. Ed, Keith Olberdouce, and Chris “Thrill Up My Leg” Matthews; but not one single ad for potato chips, diapers, feminine hygiene products, soap, beer, or any other commercial product. How long can a “news” organization survive without commercial advertising? Just ask Error Amerika – the former home of Rachel Mad-cow incidentally. Error Amerika went bankrupt and recently ceased operations because ~~liberal~~ progressive political commentary cannot sell advertising because it cannot draw an audience.

~~Liberalism~~ Progressivism DOES – NOT – SELL. As a political ideology Progressivism is diametrically opposed to business. Progressivism is Marxism Lite. Where Marxism achieves its Communist goal through revolution – most often times violent revolution – Progressivism achieves the same goal through evolution. Evidence – the 20th Century.

During the 20th Century, the United States evolved from a nation of rugged individualism into a nation on the brink of a pseudo-socialist dependency society which is only progressing at an increasingly rapid pace under the current Presidential Infestation with a massive Progressive Democrat majority in both houses of Congress.

MSNoBodyCares – and the whole NBC family in general – has positioned itself to become a de facto propaganda wing of the Obama Infestation. According to their ultra leftist political commentators, the Emperor can do no wrong while anything Republican/Conservative/Libertarian is by definition racist, obstructionist and standing in the way of progress. MSNoBodyCares is populated by on-air talking heads that do not reflect the ethnic diversity of the United States in any way. Mad-cow is Caucasian as is Olberdouce, Matthews, Schultz, and every other political anchor in their lineup. But yet they have the audacity to say the TEA Party movement is made up of sheet wearing racists? Remember what they say about people who live in glass houses…

ABC News has announced that they are cutting their staff significantly. How long do you believe MSNoBodyCares can afford to staff their “news” network if they continue to air programs without commercial sponsorship? General Electric is already attempting to unload the white elephant known as NBC. Could it be that GE’s embracing of ~~liberal~~ progressive politics is beginning to affect the bottom line?

GE and NBC dove head first into the man-made global warming agenda and now perhaps they are rethinking that whole boondoggle. But they cannot out-rightly admit that they were wrong. Oh no – can’t have that! Heads must first roll, management must change, a new owner will be found who will lull the apathetic public into believing that it never happened. And the whole idea that NBC was behind the global push to indoctrinate will be conveniently forgotten. But as of right now, they have no advertising. At least for their cable “news” channel. And without a revenue stream it is only a matter of time before GE decides to dump the left wing cable news channel. Or at least consider a realignment.

Will He Or Won’t He Bring A Bat?

February 25, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Death Care, Fiscal Irresponsibility, News, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, socialism View Comments

[0735] In just a few short hours the dog and pony show disguising as a bipartisan summit will be taking place at Blair House. My question is – Will the Emperor bring a bat?

My reference is to Robert De Niro’s portrayal of Al Capone in the 1987 film ‘The Untouchables’.

In a very famous scene, Capone has his underlings over for a meeting. They are all sitting around a HUGE rectangular table as Capone walks about making a baseball analogy. He suddenly stops behind his target and begins to bash the man’s head in with a baseball bat. That is the Chicago way.

If I were John Boehner and company, I’d be weary of attending this thug’s meeting. At very least, I would be sure that no one brings a Louisville Slugger.

All kidding aside, this is nothing resembling what it’s been billed to be. The Infestation wants to show that they are reaching out to the opposition in a “bipartisan” way but in reality, this is a sit down. He’s going to threaten all kinds of bad stuff if Republicans do not get on board with this turkey. For the Republicans, there is a risk in even attending this sham. There is a further risk if any Republican member or Senator signs on to this monstrosity.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has suggested that unless Republicans are able to control half the time as promised, they should all walk out. I have a better idea. Show up, wait for the Emperor to make his appearance, as soon as his ass cheeks hit the chair, one by one excuse themselves and leave the building. Leave that pompous ass there all by his lonesome. Force them to use Reconciliation because it will damage them beyond anything that Republicans can do.

The American people do not like political chicanery and that is what will be needed to pass this plan. If We The People can deny their use of Imperial politics, we will avoid total economic collapse. But if this thing passes – the nation will be doomed to follow Greece into that economic black hole they are being consumed by.

NO BILL IS BETTER THAN ANY BILL AUTHORED BY DEMOCRATS. And I don’t just mean health care bills.

Dems Following the Emperor Into Political Obscurity [UPDATED]

February 22, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, The Economy, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

This week’s “health care summit” is nothing more than a PR opportunity for the Emperor in that it will give him face time on TV portraying a facade of “bipartisanship”. It is his way to truly show the Republicans as the “party of NO” when they reject his ultimatum. Because that is what this is. “Either you play ball or I’ll use my bully pulpit to portray you as standing in the way.” That’s the real message to Republicans on Thursday.

The Infestation and the Democrat Politburo aim to use political chicanery to muscle through legislation which has already passed one house – the Senate. A bill that even Democrats do not like incidentally. They will then make “adjustments” to the Senate bill through budget reconciliation. Problem – the bill itself.

The bill is filled with unconstitutional provisions including, but not limited to, the health insurance mandate. Also included is a provision which basically says that it cannot be repealed by subsequent Congresses. How absurd! Even the Constitution has a method of modification built into it.

This is nothing more than the Emperor dictating and his Politburo complying.

Some on the left make the case that if the Emperor does not force this through it will mean disaster for Democrats in November and beyond. Actually, the opposite is true.

Every single Democrat who votes to pass this turkey will be doing so at his/her own political peril. The people do not want it. A New York Times/CBS poll shows the American public is more concerned with jobs than health insurance.

Which is a bigger concern to you personally–the economy and jobs or health insurance and health care costs?[1]

Economy and jobs 59%

Health insurance and costs 27%

Both equally (Vol.) 13%

Neither (Vol.) 1%

Speaking of poll numbers, Obama’s latest 2 Rasmussen Reports Presidential Approval Indexes have signaled terrible news for the Emperor. His index is down to its lowest point ever at -19 with a measly 22% of those polled saying they strongly support the President and 41% saying they strongly oppose. His overall numbers in the dumper as well. According to the index, Obama has an approval rating of 45% with 54% opposed.[2]

If Democrat House members actually believe that following this moron is the way to keep their jobs then they are going to have the shock of their lives come November. The smart money is on killing this bill forever and always.

The job of the Conservative blogosphere, talk radio, every single elected Republican and their combined staffs over the next 9 months is to continually remind the American people of who is responsible for this bill. Who wrote it and who voted for it in its various forms. Any ‘yes’ votes on this turkey should be portrayed as the political “kiss of death”.

OH – and Democrats…

By all means parade your increasingly unpopular Emperor in front of your constituents. The more he campaigns the more Republicans will win. When his Infestation is done on January 20, 2013, he will be known throughout American history as the worst Chief Executive ever to hold the mantle of leadership in the Republic. Anyone who follows his “leadership” will be forever pinned to that legacy. So by all means – GO AHEAD.

[UPDATE 1712]

After thinking about this post for a while I have realized that I left something out. The destruction of a fiction as-a-matter-of-fact…

The Emperor and the entire left has been spewing a falsehood that the GOP hasn’t offered any solutions. Sorry to inform you but yes they have. You can view or download the pdf of the GOP plan HERE as well as a summery HERE and a side-by-side comparisson to the Pelosi bill HERE. Notice the dates on the documents.

GOP’s solutions…

Number one: let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines.
Number two: allow individuals, small businesses, and trade associations to pool together and acquire health insurance at lower prices, the same way large corporations and labor unions do.
Number three: give states the tools to create their own innovative reforms that lower health care costs.
Number four: end junk lawsuits that contribute to higher health care costs by increasing the number of tests and procedures that physicians sometimes order not because they think it’s good medicine, but because they are afraid of being sued.

SOURCE

The truth is that the left and their President are not interested in alternative solutions. They only see one solution. Socialism. Anything that is not part of their socialist take over of America is not a consideration. Their goal is not the health and welfare of the people their goal is control of the people. The GOP’s plan leaves the people in charge and that is something the left can not allow to happen.

If Obama is awake – he’s lying. If Pelosi or Reid have heartbeats – they are lying.

Euro Doomed To Collapse

February 15, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Democrat Incompetence, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Lunatic Lefties, MSM Ignorance, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Stupidity, The Economy, The Fiction of Global Warming, socialism Comments Off

Europe is in such a shambles that Greece is on the verge of total chaos and the Euro is in danger of complete collapse but yet the President of the United States prefers to follow a EuroSocialist model because he sees it as a success. Every single item on the Obama agenda is EXACTLY what is leading to the collapse of the economy in Greece and the rest of the EU. But he trudges on even considering expanding executive power by issuing Executive Orders as the only way to implement his EuroSocialist modeled agenda.

From the Daily Mail:

The European single currency is facing an ‘inevitable break-up’ a leading French bank claimed yesterday.

Strategists at Paris-based Société Générale said that any bailout of the stricken Greek economy would only provide ’sticking plasters’ to cover the deep- seated flaws in the eurozone bloc.

The stark warning came as the euro slipped further on the currency markets and dire growth figures raised the prospect of a ‘double-dip’ recession in the embattled zone.

Claims that the euro could be headed for total collapse are particularly striking when they come from one of the oldest and largest banks in France – a core founder-member.

In a note to investors, SocGen strategist Albert Edwards said: ‘My own view is that there is little “help” that can be offered by the other eurozone nations other than temporary, confidence-giving “sticking plasters” before the ultimate denouement: the break-up of the eurozone.’

He added: ‘Any “help” given to Greece merely delays the inevitable break-up of the eurozone.’

According to the article, the Euro has lost 10% of its value since November. The Dollar and Pound are each gaining on the dominant European currency.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post asking, “Economic Recovery Or Economic Ruin? What Is He Up To?“, in which I described exactly this scenario possibly happening here in the United States.

Europe is beginning its descent, will the US follow? It will if Congress does not end the insanity. Congress will only act if we force them to.

Today Sen. Evan Bayh announced that he will not be seeking re-election in spite of leading in the generic poll and banking a $13 million war chest. Why? Does he see what his President has done? Does he see the writing on the wall? I bet he does.

The President will now be issuing executive orders to slip in provisions of ObamaCare and Cap and Tax. Economy destroying measures by executive decree. He needs to be shut down NOW!

The Truth About An Inconvenient Lie

February 15, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Liberal MSM Bias, MSM Ignorance, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, The Fiction of Global Warming, socialism View Comments

As the Emperor contemplates expanding his power through the use of the executive order as a tool to legislate without Congress, stunning news has emerged from the UK which the Emperor will ignore I’m sure. One aspect of his agenda which he has been unable to ram-rod through Congress and is now poised to use executive orders to carry out is his Cap and Trade plan. How he expects to use power that he doesn’t have to forward this job killing measure is beyond me but perhaps he should now actually listen to the so-called scientist that has caused the hysteria upon which his plans have been built.

Professor Phil Jones of the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University is now saying that Global Warming hasn’t existed since 1995. But wait… didn’t they say that 2009 was the warmest year on record? How can that be if Global Warming hasn’t existed since 1995?!?

From The Daily Mail…

The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.

Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.

I really really hate to say it but I guess I must -

I TOLD YOU SO!

Now – I have previously gone with information that supported the idea that global temperatures actually plateaued in 1997, but if the guy whose data was instrumental in the formation of the IPCC report says that actually happened 2 years EARLIER, who am I to counter that.

The fact is that the earth hasn’t been warming for ~~the bulk~~ ANY of this hysteria based boondoggle. Al Gore’s movie ‘An ~~Incomplete Deception~~ Inconvenient Truth’, the docu-fiction upon which the hysteria about Global Warming was inflated to pandemic proportions, was released in 2006. According to Jones, Global Warming ceased in 1995. That was a full 11 years before Gore’s movie was released. The movie that he won the Nobel Peace Prize for incidentally.

Since then the propaganda film has been shown in just about every single public school and hyped at many churches. Legislation has been formulated around the claims cited in the movie and by the IPCC report which we now know was doctored to favor a predetermined conclusion. Data was withheld and conveniently lost. Substances have been banned and others are set to be banned based on information that was nothing more than a lie meant to further a political agenda.

I’ll wager anyone any amount that this information does not hit the evening news casts. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNoBodyCares will ignore this information as long as they can get away with. Why? To support Obamaramadingdong’s agenda.

Obama’s Infatuation With Failure

It has occurred to me that the Emperor has an unhealthy infatuation with failure. Why do I say that you ask? He seems to favor European Socialism and every single item on his agenda follows the European model which we all can see is a complete and utter failure. Case in point: Greece.

Instead of running away from proven failure, Obama is rushing head-on into it. That is, unless the new found power of the minority and the American people find a way to stop him.

In Greece the national deficit is in excess of 12% of GDP. In the United States the federal budget deficit is nearing 10% of GDP. Excuse me but – DOESN’T ANYONE ELSE SEE A PROBLEM HERE?!?

In Greece the size of their national government encompasses nearly 30% of their labor force. Here in the States, the only sector of the economy that is growing is the public sector (the government). DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER – DANGER – DANGER. DANGER WILL ROBINSON …

So the major question is why? It is part of the plan. Destroy America as we know it and rebuild it into the unachievable socialist utopia that ~~Progressives~~ ~~Liberals~~ ~~Progressives~~ Populists have been attempting to “progress” toward for over a hundred years. Or make us subservient to a world governmental body. Either way, it isn’t good.
