I'M NOT A DOCTOR...BUT I DID STAY AT A HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS LAST NIGHT

It all started with my morning talk show, Voices of Montana, where the guest was the premiere neurosurgeon in the state of Montana, an extremely articulate and well-respected doctor by the name of Carter Beck, who is opposed to socialized medicine. Inevitably, the show's resident uber-liberal, "Ken in Great Falls" had to call in and sound off. If the show's host had a rocket scientist or a nuclear physicist on as a guest, Ken would call in and harangue them on what idiots they were and how much more he knows about rocket science and nuclear physics. He, of course, took the same tack with a brilliant neurosurgeon.

Ken, apparently fresh from watching a Michael Moore crockumentary, went off on long and loud rants about how utterly horrible and worthless our health care system here in the U.S. is and how wonderful and Utopian the health care system in Canada is. Dr. Beck quietly and calmly refuted those claims using facts and figures and logic, reading articles from Canadian doctors and government officials bemoaning what a complete fiasco their system is. Ken quickly turned to the usual tactic of shouting, calling the doctor names, and accusing him of lying.

Meanwhile, back in Sodom on Potomac, Rahm Emanuel's brother Ezekiel, imminently qualified to be Health Czar due to his being cranked out by the same parents who gave us the Whitehouse chief-of-staff himself, was criticizing other doctors for their silly out-dated ideas of saving peoples' lives and stoutly defending the precepts of Obamacare. Namely, shove Grandma Uluk out on the ice floe for the polar bears to eat.

Dr. Emanuel spoke on the subject of health care reform, chastising other doctors that they, "...
take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or the effects on others.” And some folks just ain't worth saving, in the good doctor's opinion. “Medical care should not be given to those who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.”

He then said something about "eugenics", leaped out of his wheelchair, rendered a stiff-armed Nazi salute, and shouted "Mien Fuhrer! I can walk!"

Down at the good old U.N. ("White man come in great iron bird, slay simba with firestick, make Chief Umbula senior member of United Nations Security Council") the experts at the World Health Organization are having a hissy fit over the Swine Flu Redeux. I guess they have to try to panic the sheeple into submission with something since the whole bird flu thing kind of turned out to be a flop. Running in circles and screaming, one WHO official noted that some 2,100 people worldwide have died of the new swine flu since April! This is a horrifying statistic, especially in light of the fact that the ordinary garden-variety flu causes an estimated 100,000 hospitalizations and 20,000 deaths per year.

Fortunately, they're working on new vaccines for the world's various governments to inject into their citizens. Just like the Ford Administration did back in 1976 when Uncle Sammy, ever known for his over-reaction and sheer incompetence, tried to vaccinate everyone in the U.S. against Swine Flu Mk. I. Less than a third of the population ever got the vaccination. The flu killed 1 and hospitalized 13; the vaccine killed 13 and hospitalized over 500.

Fearing that two thirds of the population could once again escape mandatory vaccinations, the legislature of Taxachusetts is working on an Orwellian "Pandemic Response Bill" that would basically just suspend the Constitution outright for as long as the authorities deemed it necessary. Benefits include warrant less searches and seizures, arrests, fines, government price fixing, forced vaccinations (and arrests for those who refuse), forced "involuntary transportation", etc, etc.

The good old Obama health care bill we're all "lying" about by quoting from it, adds an interesting twist to the whole forced vaccination thing. Section 2521 of H.R. 3200, entitled National Medical Device Registry, says:

" (1) The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that—
``(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; and
``(B) is—
``(i) a class III device; or
``(ii) a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining."

It doesn't specifically come right out and say, "Take the mark of the Beast", but "an implantable device" is ambiguous enough for the government to take all kinds of liberties with. When has the government ever read less power for themselves into any document, to include the Constitution?

When it comes time to transit from tinfoil hat country to reality, as so many wacky "conspiracies" have lately (information finally released on the Gulf of Tonkin comes readily to mind) good old VeriChip Corporation, which has already made and implanted RFID chips in humans, is ready and waiting in the wings. Why, they're even already officially approved by the Food & Drug Administration and, coincidentally, just happened to branch out into the "green energy" business in time to receive a $3 billion piece of the stimulus pie.

God save us from the government saving us.

Tim Hawkins- "The Government Can"

HE'S BAAAACCCKKK! JOHN MCCAIN DEFENDING OBAMA

At a town hall meeting on health care "reform" in Arizona, Juan "I Wanna Lose This Election!" McCain once again runs aground on the deadly shoals of those pesky conservative citizens. Still dragging out the pathetic cliches that worked so well for him last November...playing nice with the libs, "bipartisanship", Liberalism Lite...McCain also goes on to bravely defend President Zero for his staunch Constitutionalism. The crowd is not fooled, nor amused.

You can hardly blame good ol' Juan, though. According to the MSM, it is well known that Barack Hussien Obama is an absolutely brilliant Constitutional scholar (I hope he got better grades in those studies than he did in Economics 101; not that we'll ever know because all his school records are conveniently sealed for some reason) in addition to being the smartest man alive. For instance, without the resplendent Kenyanesian most of us peasants would not know that the U.S. Constitution was actually written some 2,000 years ago!

Obama the Wise has also reminded those dim-witted "Founding Father" Dead White Guys who wrote the Constitution that the document, lacking his own radiant input, is "fundamentally flawed".

Likewise, he has also chided the document, in bizarre Orwellian Newspeak, for being a "charter of negative liberties." Hunh? Negative liberties? That's right boys and girls. Obammy thinks the Constitution is bad because it only says what the government "can't do to you." Oh, how terrible! Much more important than those pesky negative liberties, he says, is what government "must do on your behalf." In that category, he includes the redistribution of wealth and the enforcement of "political and economic justice".

At the same time, the Great & Powerful O also chastised the Warren Court for being just too gosh darned conservative and not nearly liberal enough because they didn't "break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution." That's why Barack appointed Sotomayor as a Supreme Court Justice...no doubt she can break free of those constraints.

We won't even go there on the Constitutional issue of the whole natural-born citizen thing.

So we can clearly see that good old Juan was utterly correct in defending the Big 0, his Constitutional prowess, and his respect for the document to the washed masses at that town hall meeting. We can only hope that the citizens of Arizona are not quite out-voted by illegal, dead, and fraudulent voters yet and send our least favorite RINO packing, perhaps across the aisle, like Arlen "I am a Republican, and I am running for reelection in 2010 as a Republican on the Republican ticket" Specter.

It just goes to show how little difference there really is between Socialist Party A and Socialist Party B, other than the speed at which they're driving the bus off the cliff.

I DON'T WISH ANYONE DEAD, BUT SOMETIMES I ENJOY READING THEIR OBITUARIES.

Well, maybe not in this particular case. As usual, we're not allowed to mention the dead in any negative way, but since his fellow libs and the media are anointing Ted Kennedy with sainthood and they're giving him a Medal of Freedom and planting him in Arlington National Cemetery, let's see what he's done with his life to earn his new-found Mother Teresa-hood.

This first part was an email I received, that I'm sure everyone has by now, but it bears repeating.

1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.

2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can't count to four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him! (like he charged that President Bush received).

3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his "education" NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!

4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia , he was cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!

5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash, and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he was admitted had shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a "state secret" until in the 1980's when the report was unsealed. Didn't hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?

6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts .. At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur's keys to his Oldsmobile limousine, and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond.

7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party, passing several houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew - that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car.

The Kennedy family began "calling in favors", ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family, before an autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn't call police because he
was in a state of shock. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident, Kennedy's "political enemies" have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne's family received a small payout from the Kennedy's insurance policy, and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy's family paid their attorney's bills... a "token of friendship"?


8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, but considering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, and funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for liberalism". In his very first Senate roll, he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries.

9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of every expansion of an increase in immigration, up to and including the latest attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the pious grilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was the standard bearer for the nation in matters of “what’s right”. What a pompous ass!

Of course, they missed a few things. Teddy played pattycake with the KGB and the Soviets during both the Carter and Reagan Administrations, stabbing both presidents in the back and committing what is generally known as treason. For those of us who remember the Cold War and the old Iron Curtain, and the killings that went on there from WWII to the fall of the Evil Empire, playing with the Soviets was a bad thing.

Now we must honor the saint by passing a health care "reform" bill that, when applied to non-Congressional 71-year-olds with brain tumors, would instead give them a little counseling and a little red pill instead of the best health care in the world. And let's not forget Ted's support of and vote for partial birth abortions, and the millions of unborn who never even got the chance to grow old enough to be put down by the state, just like Mary Jo Kopchne.

If the Kennedys are indeed American Royalty, as some say they are, that whole French guillotine thing makes so much more sense now.

Gun Nut Roundup - August '09

Gun Ban Skank Confirmed To Supreme Court

Radical gun-hater and brown supremacist, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court by the Senate. Sotomayor, you may recall, ruled that “the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right,” and that the Second Amendment should not apply to the states (via the 14th Amendment) and believes that America has a "Deadly Obsession" with guns. Sotomayor will replace "Justice" David Souter (a contemptible little rat-like oxygen-thief who was no friend of the Second Amendment either).

Nine Republican turncoat weasels in the Senate stabbed gun owners in the back, voting for Sotomayor. They were: Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Christopher Bond of Missouri, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, Mel Martinez of Florida, George Voinovich of Ohio and Susan Collins and Olympia J. Snowe of Maine.

BATFE Reform Bills Introduced In House and Senate

NRA-ILA reports, "Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) have introduced S. 941, the “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Reform and Firearms Modernization Act of 2009” in the U.S. Senate. Representatives Steve King (R-Iowa) and Zack Space (D-Ohio) have introduced a companion bill—H.R. 2296—in the U.S. House. The bills would roll back unnecessary restrictions, correct errors, and codify longstanding congressional policies in the firearms arena. These bipartisan bills are a vital step to modernize and improve BATFE operations."

NRA-ILA has a fact sheet on the bill here.

You're urged to contact your U.S. Senators and Representative, and ask them to cosponsor and support S. 941 and H.R. 2296. You can call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121, and your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121.

Radio Tracking Tags In Guns?

An article in the September 1 issue of Gun Week tells of a U.S. government program in which radio frequency identification (RFID) tags have been secretly implanted in firearms. Thankfully this has only been used to track illegal arm sales to foreign terrorists so far.

However, given the fact that we have a presidential administration that views gun owners as little more than terrorists and a Congress that entertains every idea on how to mark, register and identify guns and gun owners, domestic uses of the technology may not be far off. It would seem to only be a matter of time before some boneheaded Congress-critter proposes making these devices mandatory on private arms owned in the U.S.

We might want to watch for that one coming down the pike.

MSNBC REPORT FROM BELGRADE, MONTANA

BROTHER BARACK'S TRAVELING DOG-AND-PONY HEALTH CARE SALVATION SHOW

I can't identify this person from an email I got, but it sure sounds accurate.


This was sent by a person in Bozeman , MT who was there.

Hello All,

By now you have probably heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday. However, there are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since Bill and I live here and we were at the airport on Friday I should share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the information is up to you. If you chose to share this email with others I do ask that you DELETE my email address before you forward this on.

On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date.

On about Tuesday Bill found out that they would be holding the "Town Hall" at the airport. (This is only because Bill knows EVERYONE at the airport) Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a very remote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public.


FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!! $$$$$

During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$

Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be arriving around 12:30 Friday.

Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm......900 tickets just DISAPPEARED.

This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think...with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for.

On Friday Bill and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama's spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.

The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood folks were with them.....professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area)

Those against healthcare/spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man.

So we had Montana folks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and their DOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was even a guy from Texas who had been driving through. He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and came to protest.

If you are wondering about the press.....Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about the crowds.

We did have some local news media around us from this state and Idaho . Speaking of the local media...they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn't want anyone to have to think off the top of their head.

It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House. Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make it appear that Montana is just crazy for Obama and government healthcare. Even those people that talked about their insurance woes........the White House called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors...EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of America , more like the USSR !! I was physically nauseous. Bill and I have been around when Presidents or Heads of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened for our country. America needs your prayers and your voices. If you care about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on in Washington DC . Scary!!

MSNBC EDITS OUT BLACK PROTESTOR TO MAKE GUNS A RACIST ISSUE

So, we've been on the blog for quite some time noting that the so-called Mainstream "journalists" are only slightly less biased and dishonest than Pravda, Tass, or Signal. Now, it's not enough to merely mis-report the news. No folks, now they are deliberately altering footage and keeping people out of the scene if those folks don't support their misrepresentation of the event. In the clip, the talking heads use the ooohhhh it's scarrryyy voice to blither on and on about the white racists showing up with guns to protest a black president, blah-blah, possible white supremacists, blah-blah, hate groups, blah-blah, whitey gonna take a shot at obama, blah-blah.

See the report showing the scary guns and white people here.

All the while, the main man they were showing with the AR in their heavily screened and altered footage was a black Ron Paul supporter named Chris!!!!! Of course, anyone who still watches PMSNBC is probably brain dead by this point anyway so it won't make much difference if they get taken in by this blatant lie. Still, we feel the need to point out the media's continued agenda-driven Orwellian lies, BS, propaganda, and outright Obama cheer leading.

The real deal is HERE!

Men With Guns Outside Obama Event. Who Cares?

Huffington Post story headline: "Man Carrying Semi-Automatic Assault Rifle And Pistol Outside Obama Event." According to the report, "About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with an AR-15 assault rifle, milled among protestors outside an event where President Obama was giving a speech Monday in Phoenix."

My question: Who cares? According to the police, the protestors didn't need permits since Arizona is an open carry state (like many Western states). No crimes were committed and no one was arrested. The guys did it knowing it would cheese off the liberal press and get them some publicity. Mission accomplished.

FINALLY, AN HONEST POLITICIAN: "I'LL VOTE AGAINST THE WISHES OF MY CONSTITUENTS."

In this day and age of thousand-page bills unread by their proponents, the dismissal of “lies” about the bills by name-calling and smears rather than refuting said “lies”, and now “town hall meeting” dog-and-pony shows with a stacked deck, it is indeed refreshing to finally find a politician who will look you in the eye and tell the truth.

Unfortunately, it is a truth we have known for a long time, and a sad one as well. Our “representatives” have long since quit giving a rat’s arse about the wishes of their constituents and no longer “serve” but rather rule the people.

At least one of them has finally admitted it instead of continuing the charade. It seems appropriate indeed that his name is Massa, Rep Eric Massa, D-PA. Throw an “h” on the end of that name and think back to Alex Hailey’s Roots.

From one of his town hall meetings.
MASSA: I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful.
(inaudible participants' comments regarding the "interests" of the district statement from Mr. Massa)
Massa: I will vote against their opinion if I actually believe it will help them.
We are indeed slaves of these massahs. This year, the organization Americans for Tax Reform has determined that, when all our local, state, and federal taxes are tallied up, the average American that’s still actually employed in effect works entirely for the government from January 1st to August 12th.

Rounding the numbers off, that is 2/3 of your pay going to feed the insatiable coffers of Uncle Sammy, while the Massahs can’t spend your money fast enough and keep squalling for more. That means that if you live to be an even 100 years old, you will have spent 66 years working for the government. If you make $1800 a month, you really only have $594 to actually live on. Is a slave that’s 1/3 free not a slave? Rather like real slaves in the pre-Civil War compromise being counted as 3/5 of a person for the purposes of government "representation".

Even as the government demands more and more money, they prove they aren’t even remotely competent enough to handle the money they already have. The point has already been made a thousand times, but it bears repeating that they can’t even administer the Cash for Clunkers program, let alone run our entire healoth care system.

In typical governmental lethargy, legalese, and bureaucracy, thus far only 2% of the automobile dealerships that participated in Cash for Clunkers have been reimbursed by Uncle Sugar. Rather than helping car companies, the government is, of course, actually hurting them instead.

Said Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa: "Failure to address delays with the cash for clunkers program will adversely harm auto dealers in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and around the country -- undoubtedly forcing many out of business." How's that for hope and change?

Every day, the morons who want to seize control of and manage 1/6 of the U.S. economy prove that they can’t pour pee out of a boot with the instructions written on on the heel. Yeah, you go boys. As P.J. O’Rorke so eloquently put it, “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”

But really, they know what’s best for you, slave. Just shut up, work harder, and say, “Yes, Massah.”

"Lock N' Load" Gunny's Back!

WARNING! HEALTH CARE LIES! REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO WHITEHOUSE NKVD!

I am enjoying the brilliant dialog regarding ramming Obamacare down everyone’s throats, whether they want it or not. I have yet to hear the likes of Pelosi or Reid or the Big 0 himself refute the “lies” about the bill by something zany like, oh, say, actually showing what part of the bill refutes the “lie”. In fact, most of the leading proponents of said bill have admitted they don’t even know what the hell is in it (just like the “stimulus” bill).

No wonder they haven’t read the Frankenstein monstrosity they have created. Standing, at the moment, at 1,018 pages, longer by far than the King James Bible, nobody, with the possible exception of maybe Ron Paul, has actually read the cursed thing. The vids are out there of Pelosi, Ried, Spector, and Conyers admitting…on national television…that they certainly haven’t actually read the darn thing that they’re touting so heavily.

The Great & Powerful O himself obviously hasn’t. When asked, “Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?” The Big 0, eyes darting frantically about in search of a teleprompter, said, “You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.”

Barack Mugabe went on to insist, “If you have health insurance and you like it, and you have a doctor that you like, then you can keep it. Period.”

This, now, is what is known as a lie. Page 16 of the Health Care “Reform” Bill would refute it, right there under the Newspeak provision of “Protecting Choice to Keep Current Coverage” it says: "Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.

That is, you keep your coverage until anything whatsoever changes.

Such pesky little details are why the unread bill’s proponents have to resort to the mature, intellectual, statesman-like rebuttal of name-calling. “Nazi! Mob! Racist! Un-American! Timothy McVeigh! Terrorist!”

Instead, why don’t we take a quick little peek at some of the actual bill.

For instance, on page 31 the odious bill states: "There is established a private-public advisory committee which shall be a panel of medical and other experts to be known as the Health Benefits Advisory Committee to recommend covered benefits and essential, enhanced, and premium plans."

In other words, these “experts” get to, in the end, decide what treatment you can actually get. As in England, with their socialized medicine. You have breast cancer and you’re over a certain age? So sorry. Not covered. Too expensive for too little return. Enjoy your agonizing death.

The committee itself partially consists of 9 non-government “experts” picked by the President, aka a bunch of union thugs and ACORN hooligans.

On page 29 we see one of several references regarding what amounts to rationing. "(A) ANNUAL LIMITATION.—The cost-sharing incurred under the essential benefits package with respect to an individual (or family) for a year does not exceed the applicable level specified in subparagraph (B)."

Page 50: "SEC. 152. PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTH CARE. (a) IN GENERAL.—Except as otherwise explicitly permitted by this Act and by subsequent regulations consistent with this Act, all health care and related services (including insurance coverage and public health activities) covered by this Act shall be provided without regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provision of high quality health care or related services."

Or “You get to keep paying for illegals, and pay more.”

On page 59, we find out that Uncle Sam can dip into your personal bank account and extract whatever payment he deems appropriate. "(C) enable electronic funds transfers, in order to allow automated reconciliation with the related health care payment and remittance advice;"

Here (pp-97-98) you get saddled with a random plan you may not want, but it’s not like you have a choice: “(3) AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT FOR NON-MEDICAID ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS.—(A) IN GENERAL.—The Commissioner shall provide for a process under which individuals who are Exchange-eligible individuals described in subparagraph (B) are automatically enrolled under an appropriate Exchange-participating health benefits plan. Such process may involve a random assignment or some other form of assignment that takes into account the health care providers used by the individual involved or such other relevant factors as the Commissioner may specify.”


Your employer can also be forced to thrust you into a random health plan (p145): “(4) AUTOENROLLMENT OF EMPLOYEES.—The employer provides for autoenrollment of the employee in accordance with subsection (c).”

On p124 we find the government can slap any old price they want to on things (can you say price fixing…which is a VERY BAD THING if private enterprise ever tries it) and there will be no legal recourse against it.

“(f) LIMITATIONS ON REVIEW.—There shall be no administrative or judicial review of a payment rate or methodology established under this section…”

Now let's say you’re a Christian, a real one not just a pretend one around election time, and don’t care to have the "treatment" of an RFID chip implanted in your hand or head someday in the future. P170 says tough. You apply for an exemption, and the Secretary gets to play God and decide yea or nay.

‘‘(B) EXEMPTION.—An application for the exemption described in subparagraph (A) shall be filed with the Secretary at such time and in such form and manner as the Secretary may prescribe. Any such exemption granted by the Secretary shall be effective for such period as the Secretary determines appropriate."

On P203 we find the kind or Orwellian language only our duly elected reprehensitives can come up with. “The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax…” Watch for more of the same in upcoming bills. With such language, you can raise the hell out of the taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year and then say you didn’t raise their taxes, as promised.

We also see (p241) that the government gets to decide what doctors are “worth” and how much they get paid…which will be all at the same rate. “Service categories established under this paragraph shall apply without regard to the specialty of the physician furnishing the service.’’

So the government decides upon a doctor's salary and then a witch doctor gets paid the same as a neurosurgeon. Now there’s an incentive to spend 8+ years and a couple hundred grand on college and med school. It's also in the bill, I noted in passing, how much the government will (surprise) increase bureaucracy in healthcare. Bureaucracy and red tape is already the most noted reason by far that a recent survey of doctors said they wanted to get out of the practice. Where are we even going to get doctors...let alone competent ones...under such a system?

On pp317-318 it’s laid down that even if you have a functional hospital, you can’t expand it even if, say, something wacky happens, like the population of the area increasing.

‘‘(C) PROHIBITION ON EXPANSION OF FACILITY CAPACITY.—Except as provided in paragraph (2), the number of operating rooms, procedure rooms, or beds of the hospital at any time on or after the date of the enactment of this subsection are no greater than the number of operating rooms, procedure rooms, or beds, respectively, as of such date.”

That’s just a few things I picked up on a quick skim through. God only knows what other horrors lurk within those thousand unread pages. We could, unlike our public servants who are being paid handsomely to do so, actually read the whole thing.

But why bother? It’s so much easier to just say, “Nazi! Mob! Racist! Un-American! Timothy McVeigh! Terrorist!”

ECONOMIC DISASTER FOR DUMMIES

With much wailing and gnashing of teeth, fighting the urge to bang my head against the wall, I have to isolate myself from the mainstream "news". The insanity is beyond comprehension. Everywhere the news is trumpeted; "247,000 Jobs Lost Equals Brilliant Economic Recovery!" "Only 3 Million Newly Unemployed in 2009 is Sign of New Boom Times!" "Good News! The Alligator Bit Your Head Off...But Didn't Get Your Neck!"

This BS is truly Orwellian. To think that 247,000 more people losing their jobs is somehow tremendous progress because they were expecting 248,000?!?! We're still losing jobs, you morons. This is asinine and beyond the pale. Has everyone gone insane?!?! Do they really expect us to be stupid enough to swallow this nonsensical tripe?

So then, without further ado, I present to you the brilliant graphic explanation of this "recovery" as provided by Groundhog over at Frugal Squirrel's. It's so simple that even Obama, Geithner, and the Media should be able to get it.







Then again, they probably still won't get it.

PELOSI HAS HER NAZIS MIXED UP

Speaker of the House Nancy "The Dunce" Pelosi has labeled anyone who dares voice an opinion against socialized medicine a Nazi. Apparently, Nancy is as deficient in her knowledge of history as she is with, well, just about everything. The Nazis were, just like Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank, et al, SOCIALISTS, as in the National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party. First with Black Panthers intimidating voters outside the polling place in November, the Socialists have now moved on to Union thugs and Acorn hoodlums trying to silence all dissent against the Regime. I guess Black Shirts, Purple Shirts, and Red Shirts help celebrate diversity better than mere Brown Shirts. The result is the same. I'm a little too PO'ed about this to crack jokes, so here are the links to the vids...since the state-run propaganda ministry won't be showing them.

Emperor Obama Targets Oklahoma

From our friends at the Tenth Amendment Center, here is an excerpt from an article by Bryce Shonka titled "Obama's Imperial Decree: Target Oklahoma":

The state of Oklahoma is now the target of a direct challenge from US Attorney General Eric Holder, who is using the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as justification to violate Oklahoma's sovereignty as affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution.

In a letter written to the State Attorney General in April, the Federal government used aggressive language, bringing up the possibility of withholding Federal funds appropriated for Oklahoma. The reason? A proposed amendment to the State Constitution, which requires voter approval, that would make English the official language of the State.
"What it indicates is the Federal Government's contempt for the states, in this case Oklahoma, and for the idea of federal - as opposed to national - government. AG Holder believes that Oklahoma is an administrative subdivision of the USA, and that it is perfectly right for him to coerce Oklahomans to do his will. Who cares whether he has ever been to Oklahoma, met an Oklahoman, or thought about Oklahoma?" said Kevin Gutzman, an American historian and New York Times bestselling author.
Oklahoma is not alone as a state challenged by central authority in recent months. Recently, federal firearms licensees in Tennessee and Montana received a letter from another Federal agency, the ATF, who had also issued a decree wrought with hubris - claims by the Federal government of their legal supremacy across the land.

Obama Says: Turn In Healthcare Plan Critics

TIME TO ADD MORE TINFOIL TO MY HAT

Well, we’ve got a lot of wacky stuff to cover…again. And we though Fed.gov was out of control under Bush. Ha-ha! Look at what’s going on in the United States of Zimbabwe these days.

First off, the National Guard is trying to recruit for a new MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) known as an Internment/Resettlement Specialist.

As an Internment/Resettlement Specialist for the Army National Guard, you will ensure the smooth running of military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility, similar to those duties conducted by civilian Corrections Officers. This will require you to know proper procedures and military law; and have the ability to think quickly in high-stress situations. Specific duties may include assisting with supervision and management operations; providing facility security; providing custody, control, supervision, and escort; and counseling individual prisoners in rehabilitative programs.
Pentagon Guard Spokesman General Sol d’Soul confirmed this new specialty and noted many more exciting new jobs were in the works, including Cattle Car Repair Specialist, Gulag Guard, Mass Grave Heavy Equipment Operator, Mad Scientist who Experiments on Jews, and Guy-in-Trench Coat who Walks Down the Street Demanding “Vere are your papers?!?!”

Sound a little extreme? Crazy Bob’s off the deep end again with this police state talk? Au Contrere. As if to confirm the other police state insanity, the Chicago Police Department has decided officers can just go ahead and shoot anyone on suspicion of being a felon.

The new policy, from police Supt. Jody Weis and confirmed by WBBM Newsradio 780 Wednesday morning, would allow police officers to shoot at fleeing vehicles if the driver or passengers are suspected of committing a felony.

The Superintendent also noted "We soon hope to be adding cool Judge Dredd helmets for officers and 'I am the Law!' bumper stickers on the cruisers, to make the program more popular with the younger people...at least until we shoot them."

How can this crazy stuff go on? Well, let’s take a look at the sheer brilliance of the Kenyan and his hand-picked Whiz Kid Kenyettes running the country.

Science Czar John Holden, always right on top of the latest scientific discoveries, announced that babies grow up into human beings! Whew! I'm glad they got that one aired out. I was wondering for a long time about that, going alternately with either the "stork" or "pumpkin patch" theories myself.

“The fetus, given the opportunity to develop properly before birth, and given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth, will ultimately develop into a human being." When asked of the significance of his discovery Holden opined, "Well, it's still no reason we shouldn't abort them."


Our old tax-dodgin' pal Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, after pissing away $787 billion, has now taken the position that "the U.S. must cut the annual federal budget deficit, now more than $1 trillion, for the economy to have a sustained recovery and he's not ruling out new taxes." Still struggling to remove his fingers from a pair of Chinese handcuffs he started playing with some 2-1/2 weeks ago, the only man smart enough to fix the recession furrowed his brow and also announced, "Now that the entire herd of horses has stampeded over the far horizon, we are looking into the possibility of perhaps closing the barn door."

And why aren't we hearing these stories trumpeted to the heavens? If Bush or any of his cronies had said anything like this, the MSM would have crucified them as being dumber than a box of rocks. We're still beating up on Dan Qayle for the potato thing, and Sarah Palin is vilified as an in-bred web-footed mouth-breather, but you never heard about stuff like Barack's 57 state campaign, or not knowing if he was in Wyoming or Wisconsin, or saying that an inhaler/breathalyser/inhalator is the same thing.

Not to worry; you're never going to hear such stories now from the new, literally state-run media. Dan "I didn't know the National Guard records from 1972 printed with a laser printer could possibly be fake" Rather is back, basically begging the Obama Administration to run the media, too.

Dan Rather called on President Barack Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press Tuesday night in an impassioned speech at the Aspen Institute.

“I personally encourage the president to establish a White House commission on public media,” the legendary newsman said. "We could name it something really cool like The Ministry of Truth, or Pravda, or perhaps the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda."

“A truly free and independent press is the red beating heart of democracy and freedom,” Rather said in an interview yesterday afternoon. "And if you don't believe it, come on down to the Ministry of Truth this week any day from nine to six and enjoy all the free samples of Kool-Aid you can drink!" Speaking about the American press’ traditional role of being the "watchdog on power", Rather sniffed, "Just because you're always lying in the shade of the Whitehouse porch, vigorously licking yourself, doesn't mean you're not a good watchdog."

Ben likes to joke about my mountain bunker, but there are more and more days now when I seriously consider renting a backhoe and cement mixer.

AND THE NEXT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IS...

This gal, in a mere 2-1/2 minutes, tells the Santa Cruz City Council how to solve all the country's problems. In case you can't tell, she didn't grow up on a farm or ranch, folks, but is very obviously the product of Amerikan Publik Skools. She's the greatest orator since, oh, I gotta go with Darryl and his other brother Darryl on the old Newhart TV show. Learn amazing facts, um, like, you know, vegetables comes from vegetable trees and food is important because "We need food, 'cause it's like food and stuff." Plus, if you make things and sell them in stores, it's good. She's even less coherent than the Obama Administration's financial strategy.

To quote the principal in Billy Madison: "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it, I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
