By John Leo Nancy Pelosi is shocked by the presence of some swastikas at protests against Obamacare. Who ever heard of such a thing? Well, any mildly alert American old enough to remember the anti-war protests of 2003-2007. Images of George Bush with a Hitler mustache and a Nazi uniform was everywhere at swastika-choked marches and [...]

A “prayer vigil” sets the necessary tone and format for Congresswoman Laura Sanchez to express her own views on and fatal attraction for Obamacare, the full-blown single-payer kind (which Obama assures SEIU he seeks, too) without discussion or interruption and without a peep of interrogation by her constituents. The congresswoman’s transparency factor is about equivalent to that of the Berlin Wall, or maybe the Iron Curtain.

It’s been a while since I have done one of these, but Steven Pearlstein has proven himself more than worthy for the illustrious Moonbat Award for his column in which he refers to patriotic Americans who voice their opposition to ObamaCare as being “political terrorists.” Yep, that’s right, in his world view, dissent is not patriotic, but terrorism.

finally!!!!! americans should have started acting like this when bush started taking away civil liberties.. The Start Of The Second American Revolution? Outraged Americans across the country get in the face of the system and yell, Dont Tread On Me Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, August 7, 2009 For a long time people have been asking why Americans are not up in arms, screaming and shouting about their fast disappearing liberties along with the continuous passage of legislation that they vehemently oppose, from the banker bailout, to the cap and trade bill, to Obamacare.

Is Rush Limbaugh Brainless? – freethoughtperspective.net 08/08/2009 Leland W. Ruble An article in the underrated, and not widely circulated Scientific Journal Brainologists of the World, has disclosed, after a three year probe, that the radio shock jock who masquerades as “the voice of God” Rush Limbaugh, is totally brainless. The news has astounded hardcore robotic followers of Limbaugh, listeners frequently referred to as dimwits, halfwits, the politically deranged, religiously pompous, and of course, ditto-heads.

Grassroots vs. Astroturf Philip Klein | The American Spectator Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the White House have called opposition to Democratic health care plans “Astroturf,” while organizing their own “authentic” pro-Obamacare rallies at the same time. But there’s one important question I have, checking out these protest photos from Denver, taken by Looking at the Left (link via Holy Coast).

Hat Tip to Hot Air.Nancy Pelosi fatuously accused town hall meeting protesters of ’sporting swastikas’ thereby labeling them as Nazis. Steven Pearstein from the WaPo and Paul Krugman from the New York Times called them ‘political terrorists’ and ‘racists’, respectively.The Obamabots are scared. They don’t like it when citizens push back. Dissent in the age of THE ONE will not be tolerated. Obama’s edict of “You know why? Shut up, that’s why”, will be followed or he’ll sic his media dogs on you.From Peggy Noonan:……And so the shock on the faces of Congressmen who’ve faced the grillings back home.

What’s with the unruly shout-outing at meetings with members of Congress? Why the uncivil mobs? The cause is a convergence of confusion, fear, ignorance, surrogate politics, communication fragmentation and cynical, strategic disinformation. No one, not even the members of Congress, can get their minds around this issue with all its moving parts. The result: Confusion, which well-financed interests groups are only too happy to nurture into fear.

New email endorsement shows AARP going all-out for Dems, ObamacareBy: Mark Tapscott Editorial Page Editor 08/07/09 7:29 AM EDT Not that there was any doubt about it, but a new email campaign by AARP’s liberal Democrat-dominated Washington staff makes it crystal clear that the leadership of the 40-million member seniors group is going all-out for Obamacare and the House Democrats’ version of it, H.R. 3200.

wow MSNBC has become nothing more than a sick joke. its a place where racial tension is crafted and produced. racism in this country does not exist in the large numbers that these people claim. but instead it is flamed and exagerated out of necessity. the democrats need the blacks in this country, or as i like to refer to them as, Americans, to believe the evil white man is against them in order to retain them as a permanent voting block. it just makes me sick what has happened to our media.

If one (a constituent, say) attempts to discuss this certain special topic rationally with a Dim politician or Dim holder of elected office, the person so doing is 100% guaranteed to be cursed, lectured, ignored, stonewalled, browbeaten, and now probably assaulted by Obama’s ACORN, SEIU, and/or Americorps thugs. The topic is Obama’s brainchild, Obamacare. Public opinion is obviously exploding overwhelmingly against Obamacare; but no Journalist wants to encounter the rath of the Dims by saying so.

Daniel Hannan, member of Eurpean Parliament and fan of the our US Constitution, was on Glenn Beck sounding the alarm on universal health care. As one who lives with the system every day he knows of what he speaks. He sees its failings every day. In his interview he mentions that the UK’s NHS is particularly cruel to the elderly, with stories of older people left unattended to starve to death. He was speaking of stories like this one and this one .

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. – Thomas Jefferson The arrogant, elitist response of the Congressman to one of his constituents clearly demonstrates his mindset in regard to his office and the people who elected him to serve. This sort of arrogance and “in your face” attitude is doing nothing to dissuade the opponents of ObamaCare. It only strengthens their resolve and determination.

By: Chuck Muth DumpReid.com WE GET IT Dear Republican U.S. Senate Candidates, We get it. Harry Reid’s bad. He’s a liberal carrying water for Barack Obama. He wants to nationalize our health care system. He said the war in Iraq was “lost.” He’s forsaken the interests of Nevada to advance the interests of the far left in Washington, DC. He’s boring. He’s pale. He’s old. He has suspicious land deals. He had ties to Jack Abramoff. He’s in the pocket of Big Labor.

Filed under Issues – Health by TaniaGail An article in the Wall Street Journal dissects the moves made by President Sarkozy to mold the crumbling French health care system into one that resembles the U.S. healthcare model. While France struggles with a broken universal healthcare model, Democrats in the House and Senate want to reform US healthcare to look more like the moribund French version.The article contained a time line of budgetary actions since the inception of a universal health care system in France.

Shawn Tully has read the two main Obamacare bills and has a few comments and concerns. (Among his thoughts: “Freedom to keep your existing plan — This is the freedom that the President keeps emphasizing. Yet the bills appear to say otherwise.”) Fortune : President Obama has repeatedly reassured Americans that they can keep their existing health plans — and that the benefits and access they prize will be enhanced through reform. A close reading of the two main bills, one backed by Democrats in the House and the other issued by Sen.

Sarah Palin is weighing in on health care. She is at her best when using homespun fear tactics. Like when she scared people out of voting for John McCain. She writes:The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.“Such a system” is not up for a vote.

The federal budget deficit has risen by $880 billion to an unprecedented $1.3 trillion . Most of the increase is attributable to recent increases in federal spending , including Obama’s $800 billion stimulus package, which the Congressional Budget Office says will actually shrink the economy “ in the long run ,” and which ended welfare reform , destroyed thousands of jobs in the export sector, and replaced investments in infrastructure with welfare.

So it seems that The White House business of collecting “fishy” information may have run up the pike . According to legal experts , who smelt a problem, the collection of such data is illegal: “The White House is in bit of a conundrum because of this privacy statute that prohibits the White House from collecting data and storing it on people who disagree with it,” Judge Andrew Napolitano, a FOX News analyst, said Friday. “There’s also a statute that requires the White House to retain all communications that it receives.

This article comes to us from the Wall Street Journal. It talks about how Erisa (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) is going to drastically change under the Obama health plan. Summary of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) [pdf] In short, Erisa establishes minimum requirements for insurance coverage provided by employers who can afford it (not all employers offer health insurance coverage). The whole article is worth the read, but I’m just going to zoom in on heart of this piece.

Tort Reform is not for Dingell and Congress – these idiots are all lawyers or lawyer wannabees. Congressman John Dingell holds a Town Hall meeting on August 6thm 2009. He didn’t promote the event and held it in a room that held 150 at most. More than 600 people showed up and, as you can see from these videos, Congressman Dingell’s constituents are not happy. The front rows were stacked with his supporters BTW . In this particular video, the Congressman was asked about Tort Reform and says there is only so much they can do.

Here’s what Doug Martin (General Manager of GNC and my employer) has to say about health insurance reform. Originally posted at Town Hall Tucson. I know there is a great deal of concern about the health care proposal that is currently on the table. I think it is great we live in a country where we can still vigorously debate these issues. Here are my 2 cents (and that may be all I have left after the government takes the rest): We waited too long to work on this.

The latest protests against state-run medical care are drawing the talking points from the White House and the political classes, and it seems that the Usual Suspects are trying to claim that their protestations against the “contrived” protests are not contrived at all. We see Paul Krugman engaging in his Pavlovian response , claiming that not only are the protesters stupid, but they also are racist and murderous. Gail Collins, the editorial page editor of Obama’s House Organ, the New York Times, trying to figure a strategy to counter the claims.

Ah, the last bastion of “ see, socialized medicine works “: When Laure Cuccarolo went into early labor on a recent Sunday night in a village in southern France, her only choice was to ask the local fire brigade to whisk her to a hospital 30 miles away. A closer one had been shuttered by cost cuts in France’s universal health system. Ms. Cuccarolo’s little girl was born in a firetruck. France claims it long ago achieved much of what today’s U.S.

A s much as some would like to believe that the reason that Obamacare isn’t doing well among the American people has to do with “misinformation” being thrown about, in reality it is much more basic than that. Ramesh Ponnuru does a very good job of laying out the two conflicting portions of the promises made and why Americans aren’t buying the explanations given by politicians when they question them: There are two basic points about health-care reform that President Obama wants to convey.

Oh, Peggy Noonan. My love-hate-indifference-make me sleepy relationship with you has swung, once again. And so, I will now dissect your latest fluffy, soft and “Little nemo in dreamland” scribblings about the Town Hall chaos. Do you mind? Do I care? We have entered uncharted territory in the fight over national health care. There’s a new tone in the debate, and it’s ugly. At the moment the Democrats are looking like something they haven’t looked like in years, and that is: desperate.

Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-MO) attempted to blame the violence that occurred at his town hall on a “right-wing assault”. But when a local talk show host pointed out that it was pro-ObamaCare union thugs who beat up a man and were charged with assault, suddenly Carnahan gets all bi-partisan about the violence. It only gets better when a local reporter points out that Carnahan is attempting to blame organized Republican opposition, but Obama’s official political wing has joined with the unions and Democratic National Committee to flood the town hall meetings.

Under the stimulus bill, there’s a new $1.3 trillion bills-for-bumpers program whereby, if you peel off old slogans now recognized as environmentally harmful (“QUESTION AUTHORITY”), you can trade them in for a new “CELEBRATE CONFORMITY” sticker, complete with a holographic image of President Obama that never takes his eyes off you. “The right-wing extremist Republican base is back!” warns the Democratic National Committee.

There are approximately 633,000 practicing physicians in the United States. The AMA represent about 130,000 physicians. In recent years the number of physicians in the AMA has been declining yearly.

I am sitting here this morning doing what many Americans are doing, reading up on the Town Hall confrontations and the stupid claims by the liberals under siege in DC this is all a concocted, well, organized, well dressed PR game. I guess they would know best about stumped up PR stunts. What I am finding is images and movies of normal people standing in long lines waiting to complain to their representatives. And in response we see liberal goon squads out yelling in faces.

As Obama tries to reform the medical welfare system people protest because they don’t want to help others then them selves!!, let me elaborate… In a debate yesterday in Wheeling, West Virginia. A woman carefully asked if they please could hurry up with the reform so that her daughter could be helped with her rheumatism since at the moment there was no way of paying for it. The response came quick… A man in a shirt stood up and said loud and clear: why should I pay for your daughter? Well there you have it people, the actual American reason for protesting against the reform… The product of a Supercapitalistic society. As soon as ones tax money helps other people people shout out Communism and Socialism as if they knew the meaning of these words!… is equality for all wrong? I call it Welfare. In Sweden we have a higher tax which everyone is willing to pay because we care for the less fortunate in our nation… as a matter of fact we have the best welfare in the world because of this… are we Communists now suddenly.. No definitely not! Maybee Obama sees the countries with the best welfare in the world and believes America has something to learn… who knows!
