Video: Marine goes nuclear on Democrat over ObamaCare
posted at 4:48 pm on August 22, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via, er, HotAirPundit, red meat courtesy of the good folks who hijacked our last thread. The Democrat in question is Brian “Brown Shirts” Baird, thus the pounding he takes here is extra gratifying. Not sure I follow the Marine’s point about what right the feds have to tell him he can keep his insurance plan, though. Presumably he’s making a Commerce Clause argument a la Rivkin and Casey, but if growing weed on your own farm for your own use constitutes “quintessentially” economic activity, wouldn’t a program that affects 15 percent of the entire U.S. economy also qualify? If the public wants single-payer, hey — that’s democracy, red in tooth and claw.

Ever heard of getting an extra part-time job? If you and your husband worked an extra 10 hours a week each, you could afford it no problem. You also have the option of contacting the maker of this drink to see if they have discounts available for those who can’t afford it.
Does the policy say they will cover nutritionists? If not, why are you demanding they cover something they never promised to cover? And how much can a trip to a nutritionist cost anyway? I assure you, they will take cash/credit card.
At any rate, if you’re so unhappy with your insurance, get rid of it. Why pay for something if it isn’t going to cover anything? What would be the point?
xblade on August 23, 2009 at 6:21 AM
Yeah, you’d just love that, wouldn’t you? Then you could dump the insurance completely until AFTER you get sick. What a bargain!
And why the heck are so many people paying so much for insurance anyway? I mean, $6,000 a year? It took me 5 minutes to find a policy that gives me $7 million dollars worth of coverage for $160/month. If anyone is paying $6,000 plus per year for an individual policy, it’s because they’re too lazy to do a little research.
xblade on August 23, 2009 at 6:30 AM
Xblade,
I pay about 6000 a year for 3 of us. And believe me I shopped around a lot. Also the rates vary quite a bit stste by state, up to a 20% variance for the same policy between low and high cost states.

The most significant thing in this video was the knee-jerk lie by the politician – boldly, in public – debunked in picoseconds.
Politicians are going to have to realize, either the easy way, or the hard way if necessary, that they (a) should not lie (b) cannot lie successfully.
Foolish arrogance to think you can lie so boldly and get a pass.
Flush these lying scum in 2010.

Oddly enough, it is those who believe that there is no right to be taken care of who do the most to take care of others voluntarily. Those who want to make a right out of it always want it to be someone else’s responsibility, and never their own.

Amen to that.
Regimen is superior to medicine.
The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease. Whatever medicine was once, it has grown and evolved into a monstrous beast bent on amusing itself at out expense. Our payment is not merely in taxes. We pay in flesh, bone and blood to be abused by the worst.

The fact is, you DO NOT GET TO KEEP YOUR INSURANCE. READ THE BILL.
The moment your coverage CHANGES, YOU LOSE IT. The minute the price CHANGES YOU LOSE IT.
Then you’re on the obamunistcare plan.
Then you get your obamunistcare plan ID.
Then the obamunistcare plan administrators get access to your bank accounts, financial history and your medical history.
The obamunistcare administrators and regulators take care of you.
You become a serf along with everybody else in a new political system with the socialists who know what best for you in positions of power, the new political aristocracy.
That is their plan.
dogsoldier on August 23, 2009 at 8:25 AM
This man was right on. It would seem to me that health insurance would be cheaper if the government stopped regulating the heck out of it. Also, tort reform would really be a big help. If they gave the insurance companies the go ahead to insure in all states I believe rates would go down.

Liberty is not negotiable, not even by the majority.
It can only be stolen in whole or piecemeal. Even if something of supposed value is offered in return, it cannot have the same value as that liberty taken from us. That marine knows it and his words speak from the pain of that knowing and the resolve to stand against it. God bless and keep safe all who stand against this theft.
SKYFOX on August 23, 2009 at 8:41 AM
If you go to get auto insurance, as is required in most, if not all, states, with 5 charged accidents and two dozen speeding tickets do you expect the insurance company will charge you the same as if you have a spotless driving record? Why is health insurance any different?
If you are on your death bed do you thing a life insurance company will write you a policy as if you are an 18 year old in perfect health?
If you have some serious, expensive to treat pre-existing condition why should the health insurance people not be able to charge more for your coverage, you are a greater risk than someone with no problems.
johnsteele on August 23, 2009 at 8:51 AM
After reading the bulk of the comments in this thread that questions the intellectual and leadership skills of a President that is attempting to move this nation in the direction of a more centralized government dependency, the next rational question would be, who are the “other players” in this great social experiment? If Obama’s pale of rhetoric is so full of holes, why and how is he still driving this plan that is being rejected by a strong majority of the general public? When the lights are turned on in the proverbial room of systematic strategist, who are the rats that are scurrying to the dark corners undetected, yet still driving this agenda down the throats of an unwilling citizenry? How many more unchecked and unregulated Czars will it take for this statist President to complete his Politburo?
President Obama, YOU WON!, you are the President of these UNITED states—now try to act like one. It was not the intentions of our founding fathers to allow the institution of the OFFICE to be run by a committee of Czars and mandated sycophants. STOP bastardizing and demoralizing this OFFICE and try something truly novel and original, (and in your case, unprecedented), like listening to the American patriots that elected you. WE are not “un-American Nazi’s” or astro-turfers storming your townhalls across the fruited plains pleading that you drop this insane ideology of government run healthcare under the guise of covering “42 million” souls. And WE are not the one’s who are spreading lies, fabrications, and misunderstandings about this blatant attempt to socialize our healthcare. This nation CAN NOT afford this plan fiscally or morally, and WE reject your pathetic attempt to inject GOD into this equation as if you had one moral bone in your body. How dare you condone the slaughter of millions of unborn souls, and yet have the audacity to pronounce moral obligations. Throw away your community organizing skills, your Czars, your committees and try something different—like being a President of these UNITED STATES.

Brave warriors return from battle to greet their loved ones with hugs and kisses.
Subconsciously or otherwise, that Marine recognized what this is: a battle. It may not be one of weapons, but it’s a battle nonetheless.
The kiss is very telling, in my opinion.

Get ready for a lot more pre-existing conditions with ObamaCare.
If you’re a financial burden, that’s a pre-existing condition.
Too old? Pre-existing condition.
Overweight? Pre-existing condition.
Smoke or smoked int he past? Pre-existing condition.

zeebeach on August 23, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Let me set you straight, simplesimon. Very apropos nick BTW, since that was a very simple and uniformed comment.
Apparently you didn’t listen to the video carefully – he was a former Marine, meaning he wasn’t currently enlisted or commissioned. So he’s not entitled to “free room and board and medical care”, except for medical care he can wrestle from the VA for conditions he received on active duty. Now, if he were retired from the military, he and his family would be entitled to continue their military medical program, but they must pay (low) premiums for the privilege, and are far down the list in priority. If he were not retired, if he separated from service prior to 20 years, he’s not entitled to that benefit at all, and must find insurance just like everyone else.
I also gather from the tone of your
argumentwhine that you think that he shouldn’t have anything to say in the matter, since he already got his. As it may be plain from my explanation above – free room, board, and medical care is a condition of employment, and is no longer effective after that employment terminates. Military health care IS employer-provided health insurance and good only for the term of employment.“It’s far better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt”
JeffWeimer on August 23, 2009 at 10:25 AM
Health insurance is different for two reasons; litigation, and government regulations. Health insurers are forbidden to do this because it would “discriminate”. And while scumbag attorneys do there part to drive up costs requesting outrageous judgments, the problem in court rooms continue to be juries of people too stupid to think about the source of the millions they so freely award.
It frightens me to think that there exists in this country a majority that actually ARE too stupid to govern themselves.

kingsjester on August 23, 2009 at 10:42 AM
To all of you people complaining about pre-existing conditions:
Unless a plan excludes pre-existing conditions, it isn’t insurance. Insurance plans insure against the risk that something might happen. If you already have an illness, there’s no risk you might get that illness. It’s already a certainty.
If you’re asking for your health plan to pay for a condition you already have, what you’re really asking for is charity or welfare. Providing you with charity or welfare is not a business model.
If you have money and don’t need charity, please stop asking for it. If you do need it, please ask for it directly. Stop trying to get it from insurance companies. Stop trying to get it by hiring government goons to force us all to pay for you. We’re a charitable country. Why not trust in our goodness enough to be honest?
Kohath on August 23, 2009 at 10:44 AM
This is slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to find out when (or if, as the case may be) their particular Congressman is holding a Town Hall meeting? I have been trying for weeks to find out if there would be one locally, so I can express my concerns to my Congressman, but have not been able to learn if there will be one, or where/when it would be.
Thanks.

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but feel that if the HC bill doesn’t pass in some form to save BO’s face, then we may see more drastic action against the grassroot conservatives that used their free speech rights to protest.
I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that martial law may be attempted in some areas of the country to squelch dissent. And, that may be a catalyst for real change…in the revolutionary variety.
jbh45 on August 23, 2009 at 11:06 AM

As for the “free room and board” crack; he didn’t get it free. He earned it at either MCRD Parris Island or MCRD San Diego.

jdsmith0021 on August 23, 2009 at 11:12 AM
The problem with pre-existing conditions under our current system is that if you change jobs, or your company goes out of business or you get laid off, you lose your existing insurance, once COBRA runs out. Then, if you have an existing, continuing, illness, you can’t get it covered under your new policy (although in our state, so long as you don’t have a gap in coverage, your pre-existing condition is covered, but I understand it’s not that way everywhere). I don’t believe insurance should be tied to employment, but so long as it is, they do need to do something about pre-existing conditions. It should be that you buy a policy, and as long as you pay your premiums, you are covered for whatever comes up that is covered under your policy until you choose to change policies or drop your coverage. It’s not that way now.

That’s kind of like saying that everyone who works gets free money from their employer. Marines receive room, board and medical care as part of their compensation for the work they do. God knows the work he did as a Marine is more valuable to this country then anything you’ve ever done in your life.

That’s fine. I’ll go to a county facility or a well endowed university, get the procedure and have it written off.
No money from me, but it comes out of the taxpayers or endowments hide.
If the goal of the insurance companies is to maximize profits and minimize risk, then that will be the result.

I in no way was trying to fool anyone into thinking a was a true marine. So, if you are a Marine and were offended by my attempt at supporting this man, I apologize. Please forgive me. The intent to that post was just that we were standing with him.
By the way, I was not a Marine, but my brother was a Marine, my father was in WWII Air Force and I served in the Army, though that was many years ago.

With the economy in tatters, I’ve considered joining the armed forces out of sheer desperation for employment recently…
And then I go read about VA hospitals, pathetic wages, broken promises from everyone ranging from recruiters to bureaucrats, and getting called all manner of names by the looney left. For-f**king-get it.
I pity this man, because while his speech was dead on the left-wing slander machine surely has him targeted for destruction.

Ever since Obama told his goon thugs to “get in their faces”, there has been an avalanche of thuggery to regular, normal people that do not like the way their government going about its business. I personally find this shocking and it makes me madder than hell. I think many others are feeling the same way. Several of these folks have pushed back and said that they were not going to take it anymore and had notified the local authorities.
I don’t think for one moment that this Marine is going to take any of the petty thuggery that the unions have put out for all to see. I saw that even Kevin Gladney was back out selling his “Don’t tread on me” flags yesterday at yet another Claire McCaskill town hall. The implied or blatenent threats are not being heeded and the thugs will have to escalate their message. I don’t think Obama is willing to do that. He fired the first “shot” and we all know he did it. To make it worse he did it to his own citizens. For me that was the tipping point.

If that Marine new anything about political systems, he should know that just because the Nazis called themselves The National Socialist Party, doesn’t mean they were leftist or socialist. The meaning of left socialism is world inclusive not country specific. The term National Socialism is an oxymoron. The rest of his rant contained the same confusions.

The U.S. Marines–the few–the brave–the proud–came through bigtime again. Prepared with the facts–did the PANDAS (Mexican slang for giving them hell) on the Dimocrat.
***
The politician missed his chance to thank the Marine for his service and sacrifice to our country–but he is really “supporting the troops” (not!). The thought to do so never crossed his “mind”.
***
The best part was seeing the Marine walk back to his wife and small child. All the real conservatives should have stood up, cheered the Marine, and followed him out the door.

Let’s Review.
Nazi’s began with the National Socialist Party or workers
party (unions).Believed that government should control all aspects of life. Took over banks, auto, and health care industries. Deemed that someone like Trig Palin did not deserve life. Practiced eugenics (death panels). Took over the churches and demands that all church tithing be given to them. Then when the leftist had brought Hitler to power, Hitler took his monster policies to the extreme and had all the lefties to thank for putting him there. Nice try Bill

C’mon elections. Every one of these clowns will be looking for jobs. Maybe they’ll go back into law and learn how to read again.

Let me tell you something, simplesimon. That man could have said what he said without telling his status as a Marine, but he has pride in his choices…and he should. Look at him. His principles and love for his country, beautiful wife and child emanate from him.
He speaks from strength. He LIVES from strength.
From a conservative woman: thank God for strong, principled conservative men. They know how to look after what’s theirs…and their wives and girlfriends are very happy to be looked after. :)
