Harkin Read Letter from Staffer's Relative At Health Care Meeting

Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, read a letter from a distressed constituent concerning the cost of health care. The constituent stated that costs were spiraling out of control stating that in the future he would pay in excess of $42,000 a year.

Sen. Harkin offered no proof as to the contents of the letter, but he used it as a dagger to the heart of fairness and honesty concerning the health care reform debate.

Nor did Sen. Harkin divulge that the letter was from a relative of one of his staff.

Convenient, eh?

Blair House Health Meet A Bust

Whose mind was changed? If some people did change their mind were they ever capable of forming a solid opinion in the first place?

The two act play produced by onstage director, President Obama, had two teams facing each other with a "Can't we all just along" theme playing in the background.

The away team, the Republicans, had facts, expertise and intelligent questions. The home team had platitudes, anecdotal evidence and ad hominen arguments.

Democrat Jim Cooper of Tennessee spoke earnestly as if he were speaking to a PTA meeting with his parents proudly looking on, but wanting to make sure he gets home in time for a snack before beddieby time.

How much did this charade cost the taxpayer?

McCain gets Under Obama's Skin And Obama Slaps Him Down

How Presidential.



Obama kept stating that Republicans were getting bogged down in process, how the bill will be accomplished, and not addressing the needs of the public. That is a perfect example of The Art of the Lie.

The process is the important factor in this debate. I would humbly suggest that they should start with whether this idea is even constitutional. But, it should also be discussed whether coercion, bribes and shutting Republican ideas out is a good process for legislation and voting on it and whether is it good for the people.

The process is important when our elected officials are attempting to decide legislation that will forever alter America away from open markets, capitalism and freedom to choose. A classic example is Prohibition. Though well meant, at least to those totally unaware of human nature, Prohibition was not just a disaster, it was stupid, killed people and built the largest organized crime groups in world history.

Process is important. Very important. Without process, without thought, we end up with bad legislation and administrations. We are witnessing both at the moment.

Televised Health Care Debate Openers/Politicians And Somebody Else's Food Budget

Health care reform conference being shown on television.

Gotta love Nancy. She always goes with the cliche that is designed to pull the heart strings. Never mind facts, just go for the tears.

Paraphrasing Nan: "I heard from a woman in Michigan that said they'd have to pay their health care premiums and that money would have to come out of their food budget."

Harry: "You're entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts." Said to his very good friend Lamar Alexander.

Obama: "Small business can't hire because of health care premiums." My, how he loves small business. At certain times.

Harry Reid's Subtle Stab To Scare Women To His Cause

Reid: 'Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive'

No need to scare the women, just show them the facts; if your man is out of work, he's gonna beat you.

Oh, and by the way, my health care reform can help you with that.....

Sen. Whitehouse Knows He's Lying

Sen. Whitehouse: foes of health care bill are birthers, right-wing militias, aryan groups

Liberals have become shameless racists to explain away opposition to their ever increasing socialist agenda.

Maybe I am not traveling in the same social set as Sen. Whitehouse, but I have not found those opposed to health care reform to be birthers, right-wing militias or members of aryan groups.

I wonder if Rhode Island agrees with Whitehouse. Ironic, his name, eh?

Let's Tabulate The Bribers, Extortionists And Cheats For Health Care Reform

Opener for this list comes from Norma who writes at Collecting My Thoughts:

Extortion, threats, and corruption in the White House
Offutt Airforce Base is being threatened with the BRAC list (closure) if Ben Nelson (D-NE) doesn't fall in line. Michael Goldfarb, the Weekly Standard. That's thousands of jobs--a lot more than the piddling few Illinois will get with transferring prisoners from Gitmo. I'm still trying to find this story somewhere other than the blogosphere. Not that our media is so great about telling us what's going on with the stinks-to-the-heavens in this administration, but this is our security he's threatening, if that is true.

Offnut Air Force Base is the headquarters of the Strategic Command, the successor to the Strategic Air Command. So Nelson, Nebraska and the nation are having their security threatened as well as thousands of current and future jobs so Obama, Reid, Pelosi and the rest of the progressive losers in Congress can legislate a health care reform that the voters do not want.


The only thing more reprehensible will be if Nelson doesn't go public and name names so his constituents will understand his vote.

ObamasCare Nears Despite Huge Opposition By Voters

As Reid bribes and threatens more members, the foundation of government controlled health care is being laid. The ensuing bureaucracy's building will be built after. It will be twice as large and more opulent, but quite a bit uglier than Versailles. Oh, and just as useless and tone deaf to the wants of the people as the original.

Pelosi-Obama Care Will Deny More Claims

There is plenty of discussion about what insurance companies have done to claimants and most of that discussion is just scare tactics. On the other hand we have lots of discussion about how fair and good Medicare, government health care, is which is just hot air.

Medicare: Largest Denier Of Health Care Claims

Also, the monstrous insurance company CEOs, they're the ones that deny cute kids while sipping Martinis, and their companies really aren't as rich as their detractors make them out to be.

Now, mix in all the waste, fraud and abuse with the outright corruption and a government run health care system is a nightmare, especially since this fight isn't about helping sick people, it's about government power placed in the hands of a few.

An Unmaking Of The American Quilt Party In Obama's WH

If Obama is the host, Rahm Emanuel and David Axlerod must be the hostesses to the Busy Bee Committee unquilting, piece by piece, the American Quilt that is America. The group is made up of not just celebrities, such as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, but also luminaries of the socialist world view like Senator Chuck Schumer, Representative Henry Waxman, interim White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner and a ever growing number of American czars. All hellbent on tearing America apart to be reshaped into their vision of what America should be. A nanny state that covers a iron fist with a velveteen glove of concern.


Square by square, the quilt is looked at by this group through a lens that views those who have built America as unAmerican. A view that America has basic faults that once exposed will be corrected by government intervention, guiding America back to what made it great, which to them is government control from cradle to grave. Never mind that this is the precise formula that our founding fathers abhorred and put their lives and fortunes on the block to fight and defeat to form a new country where king and government were cast aside for the creative force of economic and personal freedom.


Cap and Trade and health care reform have become the vanguard of this effort to fundamentally dumb down America.


Cap and Trade represents a huge tax on an elusive target that is much debated and rejected by the same taxpayers who don't want to pay for it. Health care is being reformed for a public that doesn't want the reform, especially in the way that the unquilting party is promising.


Cap and Trade and health care reform are just the tip of what Obama has not already done and what he wants to do, thus speed becomes Paramount. Paramont because his view is losing support quickly and each day brings more questions such as, has anyone even read what is in these plans and how will these things be paid for. That debt and dominance will be our future is becoming a very real fear to voters and that could be what brings down the Obama Administration. The administrations' fear of the voters is driving the frenetic pace with which the administration whips its people to offer more proof of the need for government intervention into the everyday lives of Americans.


That government intervention is a necessity can be witnessed by the faits accomplis, global warming, bank takeovers, driving insurance companies out of business, the taking of auto corporations and stimulus packages that stimulate nothing. The ying and yang of the need for a national police force and the wonder of a national youth service are extensions of the policies already enacted.

Now, in a classic yet never ending Obama campaign ploy to rejump start health care reform, we are bombarded with stories of flu epidemics, how women pay 50% more for health care, that 1/3 of those afflicted with AIDS are not even aware they have the disease, that Democrats have just realized that Medicare/Medicaid is in a state of crisis and that (insert this weeks' number) of Americans are without any health care. This is just at the national level and is classic divide and conquer by scaring the bejeebus out different groups. At the state and local level, that media, almost daily, there are stories of a 'crisis' that cries out for government help.

The forces aligned to further health care reform as 'good' for America now feel that finally they are now realizing what they have been promised for decades. Unions that have existed as well as newer unions that have serpentined into our schools and universities, government and even our security functions, leftists that feel disaffected by the necessities of living, leftist media and political functionaries, even artists, are demanding the due promised them by liberal/progressive/socialists in the Democratic Party. Again, it is classic Obama campaigning to gather those promised handouts as a 'right' with those who feel disaffected with leftists in the Democrat Party to organize. This is a coalition of the takers, fakers and breakers of the American Quilt that symbolizes the American Dream.

To this coalition, what is not to love about benevolent overlords helping citizens who are incapable of understanding a government that is a perpetual motion machine funded by an unending pool of money and is a modern model of governance far too complex for any one citizen to truly understand?

This American dream envisioned by Obama and his hard core leftist followers is a new quilt made of swaths of promises of a bigger pieces of the pie, more pay, less work and no responsibility. It is a quilt that will leave us unwarm on the cold night before reality brings a colder morning of poverty, no opportunity and no security on any front.

Congress will bring some form of the public option, ie government control, to health care reform because that is what they want. They will rename it a "consumer option", maybe a "competitive option" or they will say states will be able to "opt in" or "opt out" in hopes that people will think they will still control their own destiny, but however they try to fool the people, they will bring the take over of health care in America.

As Obama said, it may take 10 years, maybe 15 years, but the end of private health care and total government control of health care is the holy grail of these secular crusaders. It is because if they fail in the here and now, the rest of their goals will fail as well.

Health care reform is simply the mechanism on which they have hung their hat to complete their take over of the government which will control us. The constant campaign never seems to stop.

ObamasCare Passage Calls For Pathos

As one Ohio blog stated, "Memo to Republicans – you’re not as good at scaring seniors as we are"

Now the memo has gone out for bloggers to write (hopefully not their normal faux story) about women and just how rotten they are treated by the health care industry. Look for minorities and children next. Sad and heart wrenching stories, all.

During the Reagan administration the different press offices for the Democrat Party around the nation would weep, wring their hands, write all of the horrible things that would happen if the latest Reagan proposal became law, pull their hair and then go out for drinks.

It became a joke. So much a joke that one wag sent around a satiric Washington Post front page.

WORLD TO END! WOMEN, MINORITIES AND CHILDREN HIT HARDEST!!

It's no different now except much fewer people watch, listen or read the mainstream media, so liberal bloggers and education facilities are stepping into the breach in hopes of blocking the will of the people through made-up pathos and lies.

It's still a joke though.

Democrats Vandalizing Themselves

Without their press offices at CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN being the only arbiters of the news Democrats find themselves having to explain, re-explain and spin in hopes of controlling the news. Spin, because they cannot come out and tell the truth that the antics of operatives in the field are planned and paid for, not the work of loose cannons. Oh, and not the work of "the other side."

'08 race worker held in damage to Colorado Democratic HQ
One of two people suspected of shattering 11 windows Tuesday morning at the state Democratic Party headquarters has an arrest record and a history of helping a Democratic political candidate, public records show.

Police said that about 2:20 a.m., 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler, now in custody, and an at-large accomplice took a hammer to the picture windows displaying posters touting President Barack Obama and his health care reform efforts.

Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver's art district was a consequence of "an effort on the other side to stir up hate." She tempered her statement after Schwenkler's political history was revealed.

"What I've been saying is there is a lot of rhetoric out there from both sides of the spectrum," Waak said. "That's what's been disturbing to me. People are saying a lot of things not appropriate for civil discourse."

Excuse me, I have to have my Brooks Brothers pressed.

Chicago 1968: Armies Of The Night Begins

The history and violence of today's Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Communist movement is a long one, but the 1968 riots at the Democrat National Convention were shown live on television and the movement began the twisted genisis that we see today.

1968 – The Democratic National Convention opens in Chicago, Illinois.
In 1967, the Yippie movement had already begun planning a youth festival in Chicago to coincide with the Democratic National Convention. They were not alone; other groups, such as Students For a Democratic Society and the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, also made their presence known.[22] When asked about anti-war demonstrators, Daley kept repeating to reporters that “No thousands will come to our city and take over our streets, or city, our convention.”[23] In the end, 10,000 demonstrators came to Chicago for the convention where they were met by 23,000 police and National Guardsmen.[17] Daley also thought that one way to prevent demonstrators from coming to Chicago was to refuse to grant permits which would allow for people to protest legally.[24]
After the violence which took place at the Chicago convention, Daley claimed as his main reason for calling in so many Guardsmen and police was that he had received intelligence that there were going to be plots to assassinate many of the leaders, including himself. He played on the fears of the American people after John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas as a means of legitimizing his calling of the Guard and the use of force in Chicago.[25]
While several protests took place before serious violence occurred, the demonstrations headed by the Yippies were not without comedy. Surrounded by reporters on August 23, 1968, Jerry Rubin, a Yippie leader, and other activists held their own presidential nominating convention with their candidate Pigasus, an actual pig. When the Yippies paraded Pigasus at the Civic Center, ten policemen arrested Rubin, Pigasus, and six others. This resulted in Pigasus becoming a media hit.[26] August 28, 1968 came to be known as the day a “police riot” took place. The title of “police riot” came out of the Walker Report, which amassed a great deal of information and eyewitness accounts to determine what actually happened in Chicago.[24] At approximately 3:30 p.m., a young boy lowered the American flag at a legal rally taking place at Grant Park. The rally was made up of 10,000 protestors.[16] The police broke through the crowd and began beating the boy, while the crowd pelted the police with food, rocks, bags of urine, and chunks of concrete.[27] The biggest clash in Chicago took place that day. Police fought with the protestors and vice versa. The chants of the protestors shifted from “Hell no, we won’t go” to “Pigs are whores.”[28] Tom Hayden, one of the leaders of Students for a Democratic Society, encouraged protestors to move out of the park to ensure that if they were to be tear gassed, the whole city would be tear gassed, and made sure that if blood were spilled in Chicago it would happen throughout the city.[29] The amount of tear gas used to suppress the protestors was so great that it eventually made its way to the Hilton Hotel where it disturbed Hubert Humphrey while in his shower.[28] The police were taunted by the protestors with chants of “Kill, kill, kill.” They sprayed demonstrators and bystanders indiscriminately with Mace.[30] What was to become the most famous picture of the Chicago demonstrations of 1968 was the police assault in front of the Hilton Hotel. The entire event took place under the T.V. lights for seventeen minutes, live, with the crowd shouting, “The whole world is watching.”[28] Meanwhile, in the convention hall, Connecticut Senator Abraham Ribicoff used his nominating speech for George McGovern to tell of the violence going on outside the convention hall, saying that “with George McGovern we wouldn’t have Gestapo tactics on the streets of Chicago.”[31] Mayor Daley responded to his remark with something that the T.V. sound was not able to pick up, but was later revealed by lip-readers that Daley had cursed “Fuck you, you Jew son of a bitch! You lousy motherfucker! Go home!”[32] That night, NBC News had been switching back and forth between the demonstrators being beaten by the police to the festivities over Humphrey’s victory in the convention hall.[33] It was under the cameras of the convention center, for all of America to see; it was abundantly clear that the Democratic party was sorely divided. After the Chicago protests, the demonstrators were certain that the majority of Americans would side with them over what had happened in Chicago, especially when looking at how the police had acted. In the end, however, they were shocked to see that as unpopular as the war in Vietnam had become, the anti-war movement was hated even more.[5] Daley claimed to have received 135,000 letters supporting his actions and only 5000 condemning them. Public opinion polls demonstrated that the majority of Americans supported the Mayor’s tactics.[34]

[edit] The Chicago Seven
Main article: Chicago Seven
After Chicago, the Justice Department meted out conspiracy charges in connection with the violence at Chicago and gave birth to the Chicago Eight, which consisted of Abbie Hoffman, Tom Hayden, David Dellinger, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Jerry Rubin, Lee Weiner, and Bobby Seale.[35] In February 1970, the Chicago Conspiracy defendants were convicted on various charges and sentenced for contempt of court by Judge Julius Hoffman. The convictions were eventually reversed on appeal.[35]

You can jusge which was more odeous, the rioters or the Chicago "style" of dealing with opponents which is still going on today. Pro- health "reform" groups, funded with our tax dollars, are gearing up for new Armies of the Night (a Norman Mailer tract about the demonstrations in 1967 at the Pentagon and used as a "how-to" manual for the DNC in 1968) tactics for the nation.

I call a tie! The unions will side with the rioters, but act like Chicago thugs to break any opposition. Welcome to hope and change.

Unions Get $10 B To Help Pass ObamasCare

via Brain Shavings

Hey, somebody has to pay for all those "volunteers" that will be manning the "spontaneous" pro-health reform rallies, information booths and theatrics for the cameras. Now we know how it will be paid for.

$10 billion payoff to unions from taxpayer funds (go read and follow the links)

Astroturfing doesn't come cheap. I wonder what and how much the main stream media is getting?

Obama: Republican conspiracy out to kill health reform
President Obama took to the conservative airwaves Thursday to charge that Republican leaders are engaged in a vast right-wing conspiracy to kill health care reform in order to repeat the 1994 mid-term takeover of Congress, which followed the defeat of President Clinton's reform plan.

The birth of a conspiracy so deep, wide spread and dangerous that Hillary announced it on TV to defend her husband after he lied to a grand jury.

"This is — the great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president."
