Blown Away By The Great Writing

It appears to be a slow news day, and I anticipated being bored, but these blog stories are amazing. First up is Robin of Berkeley. I love her name. Reminds me of Robin of Loxley. And she lives up to the moniker. Her formerly liberal hands strum the keyboard with a mastery that rings of genius. Listen to this, and be sure and read the rest at American Thinker (via BBCW ). She goes on to make some pretty remarkable inferences as a therapist. Was Obama abused by his mentor? Hmmmm. Might explain his eagerness to punish us. I've been feeling funky since Black Sunday, the day of the health care debacle. As a therapist, I'm usually able to identity my feelings. But this one had left me stumped. I went through the usual laundry list of emotions: Am I depressed? (A little, but that's not it.) Worried, scared? (Yes, but who isn't?) Angry? (Very, but that's still not what's bugging me.) It took a conversation with a conservative friend, Nancy, for me to pinp...

Britney's Love Life on the Edge

Image
BRITNEY Spears is “on edge” over her on/off relationship with her agent beau Jason Trawick. Insiders say the Toxic singer has been drowning her troubles in booze — which she shouldn’t be doing with the medication she takes — following the couple’s most recent split. “They’ve been on and off for a while,” a source told the National Enquirer magazine. “He called it off again in the first week of March, but she keeps begging him to come back — and he does. “Jason is so involved in her life. He’s her agent and involved in her conservatorship, and her dad, Jamie, relies on him. “He’s been credited with bringing stability back to Britney’s world, and that was true. “But romantically, he keeps pushing her away because she gets possessive, then they get back together. “That cycle is unhealthy for her. He needs to either bow out completely or put a ring on her finger. “They’re OK for now, but really they’re hanging on by a thread. It will blow up again soon.”

Physicians Sue To Stop Obamacare

Image
I have to tell you that I have wondered why physicians didn't speak out more loudly against Obamacare this past year. I still don't understand why the American Medical Association endorsed it. I understand that the AMA represents less than 30% of all physicians. But why would they sell out their members so completely. Almost like the AARP endorsement throwing seniors under the bus. As if someone has been Bought Off. To actually DO something about Obamacare, I suppose they had to wait until it became law. And now the AAPS, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, has filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (AAPS v. Sebelius et al.). “If the PPACA (Obamacare) goes unchallenged, then it spells the end of freedom in medicine as we know it,” observed Jane Orient, M.D., the Executive Director of AAPS. “Courts should not allow this massive intrusion into the practice of medicine and the rights of patients.” “There will be a dire shortage of phy...

Reid Supporters Attack Breitbart and Tea Party Express-Video

The video is here. You can clearly see eggs being thrown at the Tea Party Express bus as it drives by. And one of the Democrats threatens Andrew Breitbart with violence if he doesn't "get out of here". Here is a video of Breitbart talking with the police afterwards.

Fox News Forgot To Mention....

Image
That the man arrested for shooting into Eric Cantor's congressional offices and threatening him is a MUSLIM. Hmmm. Odd that they would "forget" to mention that. And odder still, considering that the Saudis recently bought a stake in Fox News . Has Fox News sold out their objectivity in reporting ALL the news? Now they, too, like the lamestream media, are editing out muslim terrorist attacks and threats? I think we may need more diversity in news programming. One conservative/independent news organization is not enough. There need to be more. Competition is healthy for any industry. Jammie Wearing Fool notes that Norman Leboon, a Muslim, just so happens to be a Barack Obama donor. Michelle Malkin found the deranged leftist’s photo. Leboon posted the video last Wednesday. Philly.com reported: According to the affidavit, Leboon allegedly said in the video: “Remember Eric . . . our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given. You are a liar, you’re a Lucife...

Andrew Breitbart Walks Onstage in Searchlight

Image
There he is on the far right of the stage. Can you see the blonde gal? I think that is Hannah Giles. Very cool. Breitbart brought home the point that Tea Party protesters are innocent until proven guilty of the racist smears spread by the left wing media. He increased the reward money from 10K to 100K if anybody has recordings of alleged racial epithets that Congressional Black Caucus members claim were slung at them last weekend. There are lots of videos of the congressmen marching through the crowd, and not one show any racist attack. The Alinsky Socialists will have to try much harder if they want to discredit this popular political grassroots movement. And I personally want to thank all of the wonderful Americans who attended. I looked at license plates as I walked in, by the way, and the vast majority, about 95 percent of the plates I saw, were Nevada plates. The crowd was anti-Reid in sentiment, and all high-propensity voters. I would say Reid is in trouble. Looks like h...

The Searchlight Crowd Was Huge

Image
I saw somewhere that CNN said only 1000 people were there in Searchlight today. In this picture, the CNN news crew was located in the center of the crowd. So all the people behind their bleachers are cut out of the pictures. I had to climb a hillside to get this shot so the media LIARS could not succeed in downplaying this magnificent event.

Are Bankers Government-Owned Now?

I heard yesterday that Obama plans to force banks to reduce or eliminate mortgage payments for unemployed borrowers to 31% of their income. They will also be forced to forgive portions of loans for homes that are underwater, or owe more than the home is worth. This program would be financed through TARP. Can someone explain to me how Obama has the authority to interfere with private business contracts? Does he have the authority to use TARP funds for this purpose? I'm still scratching my head wondering where Obama got the authority to steal stock from auto company preferred stock holders and give it to the unions last year. Do contracts have no weight anymore in America? Am I paying your mortgage? In hard times is the government empowered to force private business to provide charity? Are bankers free? Or are they now slaves to the state. Hat Tip Gateway Pundit .

Britney's Pokies are back

Image
Here we have America's Pop-Tart, Britney Spears brightening things up bralessly while leaving a gas station convenience store in Los Angeles. With a cup of coffee in one hand and an orange soda chaser in the other wearing a pair of daisy dukes cutoffs and a skin tight tee with some Ugg Boots. And of course…her ever-present pokies! Apparently even California gets a tid-bit too cold this time of the year. Britney Spears really needs to watch were she is pointing those things. Just look at her wearing cut-off shorts, bright red lipstick, no bra, greasy looking hair...so trashy! Still though, I'd hit it just to say I banged Britney. Yeah I am really shallow. Anyway, how can someone with so much damn money always look so homely? Buy a bra Britney!

Best. Rant. Ever.

Dan Riehl has this to say about today's events : So, to hell with you crooks, you Constitutional criminals. And that's precisely what you are, now. They have no right to feel outraged, these Democrats, after having spent weeks and months fueling outrage across America with the corrupt back room deals, their reconciliation plans and slippery bookkeeping, coupled with an absolute refusal to take the voice of the people into account in passing vile, un-American legislation America doesn't want. Shame on them. Shame! And now, what? These malignant little tyrants want to play the victim? After victimizing America with their pathetic antics, their corrupt practices, all to push a destructive ideology America has long rejected? The Democrats are the real criminals here. They have torn the fabric of America with a repulsive world view they now hope to thrust upon the American people, whether we like it, or not. More here .

While Freedom Died

Image
I skiied. I needed some time with my family. I am heartsick that the Senate health care abomination passed the house. My daughter was in tears on the drive home. She knows that kids her age will be punished under this bill. She wonders why she busted her buns all these years getting good grades, and now having a decent job lined up after her June graduation. They will tax her too much. :-( Today was a happy and sad day for me. And just like on 9/11, I am filled with resolve. There is nothing this country can't overcome. ###

For You Number Crunchers: Obamacare In All Its Ugliness

The Republican Conference has compiled a list of important numbers relevant to Democrats’ Senate bill combined with the proposed reconciliation bill. Check it out here: $1.2 trillion: The total cost of the bill between 2010 and 2020 (though the real costs do not start until 2014), including $940 billion in coverage subsidies, $144.2 billion in additional mandatory spending, $70 billion in discretionary spending in the Senate bill, and $41.6 billion in unrelated education spending. $208 billion: The cost of a ten year patch for the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) to prevent reduction in Medicare physician payments. This cost is hidden because it was included in the earlier Democrat bill, but was dropped to provide a better cost estimate. It is expected to move separately and would bring the true cost of the takeover to $1.4 trillion. $569.2 billion: Tax increases in the legislation, including $48.9 billion in new tax increases in the reconciliation bill alone. $52 billion: The a...

Pelosi Backs Out of Deal With Stupak?

Pray that the vote falls flat on Sunday. For whatever reason. We need healthcare reform. But not like this... By all accounts Bart Stupak has been pushing for an ironclad guarantee that the bill would only pass on the condition that his amendment is included. Kathryn Lopez hears what I hear: Prospects for a Stupak deal may be collapsing. (Which, yes, could mean prospects for a vote tomorrow are collapsing. Or it could mean the White House/Pelosi twisted enough arms.) More: Stupak swingers at the moment appear to be: Kaptur of Ohio, Berry of Arkansas, Cueller of Texas, and Rahall of West Virginia. If you live in any one of these districts, you might want to buck your representative up.

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick Split Not True

Image
On Wednesday, the media pulled a huge stunt on Britney Spears, releasing reports everywhere that she and Jason Trawick, her agent and boyfriend, had broken up. Reports said that the couple was taking a break from each other after dating for almost a year. A source had told the National Enquirer that Jason pushes Britney’s emotional buttons. They continued that she loses it more often, exploding at him for not giving her enough attention. He gets sick of her being needy, said the insider, who added that she gives him a lot of orders, telling him to get things for her. Jason got so frustrated that he told Britney she could use the exercise because she’s fat, which set her off crying, the source explained. They added that she will never feel secure until they get married, but all the drama is only pushing him away. However, the two managed to emerge into the spotlight on Thursday to prove the rumors wrong. They decided to go shopping amidst the mass of paparazzi they knew would flash away...

BULLETIN: DEMS DON'T HAVE THE VOTES

By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN Published on DickMorris.com on March 19, 2010 From a top level source in the House comes the news that the Democrats are still short of the 216 votes they need to pass Obamacare. They have decided, however, to go for broke on Sunday and attempt to pass it whether or not they have enough support. They feel that only by forcing a vote can the force members off the fence. They hope that by employing all means at their disposal, they can round up enough votes for passage. But, if they don't have the votes, they will allow the measure to be defeated. One source called it a "suicide run." The League of American Voters is strengthening its efforts. GO HERE NOW to donate. The Chamber of Commerce is now running new ads linking health care to the deficit and America's possible loss of an AAA rating on its bonds. Keep on phoning and keep on working!!!!!

Cramer Says Obamacare Will Topple The Stock Market

Folks won't want to start new businesses faced with new taxes of $12,000 per year for healthcare. And everybody knows small business is what provides American jobs. What is worse, Obama said yesterday that he would move quickly on amnesty for illegal aliens after passage of Obamacare. This makes horrifying sense, because he and the Dems are going to need an awful lot of new voters in a hurry after offending their voting base by passing this destructive legislation. The problem is, the illegals would all be covered under Obamacare, increasing costs dramatically. I bet the Congressional Budget Office wasn't given THOSE numbers! More at Newsbusters .

Rep Tom Periello (D-VA) "We Will Keep Stealing"

It sounds like a cry for help to me. "If you don't tie our hands, we will keep stealing." Yes, we have a big job ahead straightening out Washington. This Deem and Pass stuff and Reconciliation need to be tossed out, too. I don't care WHO is in the majority. Majorities change. The Constitution says it takes 60 votes to pass legislation in the Senate. Can someone explain to me how the Senate or House can pass "rules" to supersede the Constitution that was put into place to control THEM? No matter how many years or how much legislation has been passed through unconstitutionally, IT MUST STOP! You either have the votes or you don't. If you don't, you better start talking to the opposition and adopting a more centrist viewpoint. That is the whole point of the 60 votes. Hat Tip Gateway Pundit .

Please Pray For Our Nation-Hillbuzz

Image
The bloggers at Hillbuzz are not religious guys, but today they went to a local Catholic church and lit every candle in the place, paying $50 for wax and matches. Their plea moved me. We’re usually resolutely cheerful and as unemotional as possible around here. We’re not guys who cry often, no matter how bad things get, but we’ve never known of a time in history when America itself was in so much peril. The Left is closer to its goals of destroying this country and rendering it “just another nation amongst 190 out there”. Perhaps the Devil itself, should it exist, is close to its own goal of smashing that city on a hill that’s endured for 233 years to lead the world to freedom and prosperity unparalleled in all history. If the forces of darkness, socialism, and downright evil are so thoroughly mobilized, we hope the powers of good are aware of what’s going on. We hope armies of angels are in flight inspiring as many people as possible to resist the Democrats, to fight back, and t...

A Cramdown For A Cramdown

I was listening to the radio this morning, and a liberal caller said that Bush forced Iraq down everybody's throats, so it is only fair to cram Obamacare down the throats of the American public. He went on to say that "bipartisanship is overrated".

Be Of Good Cheer-It WON'T Pass

Image
The Whip Count as reported by The Hill blog is heartening. If all congressional Republicans vote NO on the Obamacare bill, the maximum Democrats that can vote NO on the bill are 37 in order for the bill to pass by 216 votes. The number of NO votes by Dems ALREADY equals 37 as of today. And there are 70 undecideds. All we need is for ONE more Dem to vote NO and Obamacare is dead. I'm beginning to believe that this bill will go down in flames. As it should. It is really an awful bill. How anybody could think that this overreach could make good law for America is beyond my grasp. Dems should start over, taking each issue separately. Preexisting conditions? PASSED! Insurance portability? PASSED! Tort reform? Ok, I'm dreaming here. Dems need to boot the trial lawyers out of bed before that can happen....

Melt The Phone Lines And Faxes-Call Congress!

Image
Big push today. I heard on the radio that the American Left is receiving blast emails today from the Daily Kos and others asking for donations and calls to congressmen to support passage of this horrible and worsening health care bill. Don't be left out of the fun. You can send a free fax to congress at this site: http://ciafax.ning.com/ I sent the fax at the top of the list last night. The Just Say No fax was sent to the Blue Dog Democrat congressmen. Just type in a few windows and hit send. Simple and absolutely free. And down in the middle of the page on Dick Morris's blog, is a handy list of vulnerable Democrats to call. We must not waver. This is the big week.

Slaughter Strategy Explained

Image
"This is how you overthrow the U.S. Government." I was thinking about this today. The term "Progressive" means a person who is liberal and wants to change the American Political system to socialism or communism without frank, open war, so the "progress" must be done in small steps so the American People don't notice. Progressivism has been very successful in America. Liberal Progressives have worked their way into controlling schools/curricula, Hollywood, and the formerly free press. But since Obama was elected, politics have been anything but progressive. They have become Aggressive. Frank, open war against the Constitution such as government takeovers of the banking and auto industry, the threatened use of reconciliation to enact sweeping government takeover of health care, and odd new rules for enacting legislation such as the Slaughter Rule. Both houses of congress need to vote and pass the same piece of legislation before the President can ...

Don't Mess With Texas's Textbooks!

Image
The New York Times tried to portray the Texas Board of Education members as overboard, so to speak, but I find that the things they wanted included in the Texas curriculum should have been there all along. Way to GO, Texas!!!!! The conservative members maintain that they are trying to correct what they see as a liberal bias among the teachers who proposed the curriculum. To that end, they made dozens of minor changes aimed at calling into question, among other things, concepts like the separation of church and state and the secular nature of the American Revolution. “I reject the notion by the left of a constitutional separation of church and state,” said David Bradley, a conservative from Beaumont who works in real estate. “I have $1,000 for the charity of your choice if you can find it in the Constitution.” They also included a plank to ensure that students learn about “the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schlafly, the Contract With America, the He...

It is neat that the Washington Times grants permission to reprint articles in their entirety. I just need to include their google ads, which is fine. I think they capture the essence of Obama's unhealthy obsession with healthcare destruction. He wants a legacy which he thinks will be good. He is wrong.
