BEHOLD THE TRUE BELIEVERS

The fat lady is waddling toward the podium, but she’s not yet even warmed-up for Obama’s swan-song. Don’t be surprised if she is detained and pepper-sprayed by the mainstream media before she gets there.

Never underestimate the massive power of the uninformed.

Joshuapundit presents a video of a father who asked his local Congressman in Michigan why his son, who’s got cerebral palsy, would not be covered under Obama’s socialist healthcare program, and then later received threats at home, possibly from ACORN…

The President smells fishy, he’s starting to flounder.

Vote is right below article.

Gee, maybe even write off the care…what are they going to do, repossess the patient?

They’ll do what they do right now….charge the rest of us more.

I can’t figure out why these hospitals are intent on trying to get blood from a stone (ex IRS agents maybe?).

Why not work out a deal where a person pays what they can? Gee, maybe even write off the care…what are they going to do, repossess the patient?

I don’t like the idea of placing a $ on human beings, though there certainly are costs involved, but I believe them to be rather artificial and inflated and they get away with it due to their lobbying and graft to politicians-a virtual monopoly. Many doctors out there aren’t getting all that much from these health care systems and insurance companies, just as all lawyers don’t qualify to be in Grisham novels…that is, only a few are filthy rich.

But a lot of this can be solved by changing rules and regulations, not by spending a gazillion dollars of OUR money. Whatever happens, those making money off of health care now will make far more with Uncle Sam supporting them and calling the shots.

Lincoln took the same view of secession that King George did. It was evil tyranny in revolutionary times, and evil tyranny in Lincoln’s time.

Lincoln should be condemned, not celebrated. He betrayed everything the Founders stood for.

That is so on-target. Lincoln is revered by a populace who have no idea how thorougly he shredded the Constitution and caused the slaugher of hundreds of thousands of people who merely had the audacity to disagree with him

Methinks secession is slightly more extreme than a mere disagreement. Have any opinion of Lincoln you want, but when you shade the truth in that manner it only makes one question your honesty.

I’m sure Obama today using the failures of the Post Office to defend ObamaCare should start turning around the polls.

That’s going to leave a mark. Also, he can’t continue to deny his support for single payer. Every time he does that, the video of his earlier comments and speeches gets thousands of more hits. When people decide he’s lying about that, they’re going to wonder what else he is lying about.

At some point, the Obama administration is going to have to deal with his earlier comments on single payer in a forthright manner. Attacking the people who post the video isn’t going to cut it. Neither is claiming that his remarks were taken out of context. I’m not sure what else he can do other than claim he’s grown in his appreciation of the problem and no longer supports what he supported in the past.

The problem with that is he would immediately alienate his base who strongly favor single payer and support any means of getting there, including stealth.

I just don’t know how Bambi squares that circle.

Your grandparents were lucky. There’s practically a ten-foot waiting line even for the menial jobs now, and the factory work has all been automated.

But weren’t there worse?

If ever a Prez earned a bullet, it was Lincoln.

What about Jackson?

Upstater85 on August 11, 2009 at 4:45 PM

I don’t think there were any worse until Obama. He is trying to finish what Lincoln started. Martial law and total disregard for the constitution.

I’m often reminded of English Bob in “Unforgiven”, when he says “Why not shoot a president?”

LimeyGeek on August 11, 2009 at 4:53 PM

I love that film, too.

But do be careful, Limey….I enjoy your comments, but you’re straying too close to the banhammer.
