“ I admit it: I had fun watching right-wingers go wild as health reform finally became law. But a few days later, it doesn’t seem quite as entertaining — and not just because of the wave of vandalism and threats aimed at Democratic lawmakers. For if you care about America’s future, you can’t be happy as extremists take full control of one of our two great political parties. ::blah-blah-blah:: While many Americans disapprove of Obamacare, a significant number do so because they feel that it doesn’t go far enough. And a Gallup poll taken after health reform’s enactment showed the public, by a modest but significant margin, seeming pleased that it passed. Ahem - "Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed." - (55% - Rasmussen. Democrats had a lot of harsh things to say about former President George W. Bush — but you’ll search in vain for anything comparably menacing, anything that even hinted at an appeal to violence, from members of Congress, let alone senior party officials. ::blah-blah-blah:: Pal Krugman: Going to Extreme ” Fetch, boy.

Fighting Budget Deficits With Traffic Fines

Let's start over.  Dibs on rewriting the Commerce Clause.

“ Shomari Jennings was willing to pay the $70 ticket he received for driving without a seatbelt, but not the slew of tacked-on fees and penalties that ballooned the cost more than tenfold. Every $10 of his base fine triggered a $26 "penalty assessment" for courthouse construction, a DNA identification program, emergency medical services and other programs... In Los Angeles, city officials are thinking about doubling red-light cameras to 64 intersections. Last year, 44,000 red-light camera tickets were issued in the city, netting more than $6 million... The fine for running a red light is nearly $500 when city and county fees combined with various penalty assessments, which are set by the Legislature, and traffic school are factored in. The majority of the red-light camera citations, however, were for making right turns without a full stop, a $381 violation. It's hard to keep track of all the bullshit public policy going on in this article. ” Does anyone have pictures of destroyed traffic cams they'd like to share?

I remember a quotation, but not the author, that went something like this.  "What your child is taught in the first grade will take a lifetime to unteach."  A good many hard core democrats I know growed up in households like this.  Where granny preached on how grampa had his skull cracked at Matewan back in '19.  Yessiree .  By  goons sent in by the Republican governor, at the request of mine owners intent on breaking the strike. Or, somesuch.  Ain't nuthin' what gonna make them vote for a Republican.  Nothing.   They are the original  "would vote for a yellow dog if it were labeled democrat."   Those grannies were first grade teachers. American Jews, it seems to me, are similarly afflicted by eons of misguided, or  misdirected rules for being socially responsible, a pathway to progressive politics of the third kind.  I have no idea what's in that toxic olio, but it's 95% strong.   So, I view this headline most sardonically.  WIRE: Obama risks alienating Jewish voters... meh

GOP Talking Immigration Cave-in Redux

“ More Republicans have acknowledged that the GOP must change its tune on Latinos and immigration, especially in the lead-up to midterm elections. This week, RNC Chair Michael Steele not only agreed to a meeting with an immigration advocacy group (after the group staged a sit-in), but went a step further to say that he’s concerned with harsh GOP rhetoric on immigration…  (cont) ” That was the last thing I posted last night, before throwing the master switch off!  "... change its tune on Latinos and immigration." Translation: pander, and join the left in dumpster diving for illegal alien votes.   And, here's another disturbing thought.  Where were all the GOP's  Obamacare television infomercials last week?   The ones that should have been asking questions like, "Why does Obamacare fund the hiring of 16,000 new IRS agents?"   I didn't see squat, which makes me wonder whether GOP muck-a-mucks wanted it to pass?  And use it as a campaign tool?  Don't laugh.  These are the people who gave us Bob Dole and John McCain.  The same people distanced themselves from every conservative candidate for the past several years.  The RINO party.

Our Third World President

Papa Doc Obama

These points have all been made piecemeal, but this Daily Mail column, via Smallest Minoruty,  puts it all together.  The reason we're becoming a third world nation is we have a third world president.  I cherry picked some of it below. “ One of the reasons a lot of Americans find Obama oddly foreign is that he had an oddly foreign childhood: his formative years were spent in Indonesia. His half-sister, Maya Soetoro Ng, was born there. The rest of Obama's childhood was spent in Honolulu, a Pacific Ocean capital soaked in East Asian culture. What's this got to do with Britain, or indeed with Europe? Plenty. Obama is the first US president who was raised without cultural or emotional or intellectual ties to either Britain or Europe. The British and the Europeans have been so enchanted with 'America's first black president' that they haven't been able to see what he really is: America's first Third World president. Forget Obama's Chicago black cadence. It is a fake. He copied from the kind of black preachers that were unknown to him until he was a grown man and inventing his political image. What the Obama administration has near-wiped from the president's personal history is that his only childhood links with America were as a schoolboy in a fashionable private school in Asia-dominated Hawaii, where he was raised by his white, bank executive grandmother. Chicago is not Obama's homeland. It never was his formative influence. The president's world view is more aligned with that of Indonesia. ” Kevin adds- And then reflect on the fact that no American flags fly over the American disaster-relief facilities in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Why? Read the whole deal at the Smallest Minority.  H/T to Scott

Media Celebrate GOP's Waterloo and other wtf

Let's start with NBC's Meredith Vieira interviewing Republican Senator Jim DeMint this morning: “ Vieira saved her most slanted questions for DeMint as she mocked his earlier prediction of an Obamacare defeat being his Waterloo, "Is it now your party's Waterloo?" and after selectively citing one poll that showed a favorable view of the bill questioned which party was really "out of touch with the public?" ” I wish Gen. Russel Honore had not coined "are you stuck on stupid," because I think I would have done it right here and now, and owned the tee-shirt rights.  Just below,  you can participate in a CBS poll that grades Obama's performance in a number of areas.  When I took it, he was scoring a solid F in every category, except for Iraq and Iran.  Health care the worst. .  Waterloo?  Vierra was not alone. Sawyer Claims Everyone Will Be Covered & Shows Kennedy's Grave, CBS Displays Obama's Signature: 'What History Looks Like' Getting carried away with her enthusiasm, Diane Sawyer opened ABC's World News on Tuesday night by proclaiming: “As of today, it is the law of the land that every man, woman and child in America will have health care coverage.” CBS Celebrates ObamaCare Achieving Long-Held Liberal Goal CNN's Ed Henry Gushes Over Rep's 'Amazing' Medicare/ObamaCare Pens On Tuesday's Newsroom, CNN correspondent Ed Henry raved about John Dingell receiving a pen used to sign the Takeover Bill. Newsweek's Fineman: Rep. John Dingell is Aaron to Obama's Moses Funny, because just yesterday I was thinking that if Obama was the anti-Christ, Bill Clinton would be his anti-John the Baptist. ABC Continues to Revel in Ted Kennedy's Push for Health Care: 'The Lion's Legacy' Sawyer couldn't resist reminding viewers of the “Kennedy Legacy” (the on-screen tag) as she highlighted a photo of his son's grave side note.  'Dad -- the unfinished business is done.' : But there was another quiet tribute at the Senator's grave: someone pissed on it.

“ Lakoff told CNSNews.com that “metaphors” shape a person’s understanding of the world, along with one’s values and political beliefs — including what they think about global warming. “It relates directly (to global warming) because conservatives tend to feel that the free market should be unregulated and (that) environmental regulations are immoral and wrong,” Lakoff said. “And what they try to do is show that the science is wrong and that the argument is wrong, based on the science.  So when it comes back to science, they try to debunk the science,” Lakoff said.

THE MOST HATED WOMEN IN AMERICAN HISTORY

Drudge yesterday bannered Pelosi  as "'MOST POWERFUL WOMAN IN AMERICAN HISTORY,"  since modified to "IN 100 YEARS.  I could rejoin with Edith Wilson, but it would be a quibble, so let's  stipulate Pelosi's status.  But, she is also, unquestionably,  "THE MOST HATED WOMAN IN AMERICAN HISTORY."  Here, in descending order, and certified by the National Bureau of Certifications and Grammy Award winners, is the list of Most Hated Women in America EVER (Carrie Nation just missed). In a more enlightened time, all of them would have been burned like a steak (Ethel was grilled to perfection).

Still, passions are running very, very high on this gummint takeover, and that's a very good thing.  This morning, while I was enjoying my morning Manhattan at the O Club, I recorded the conversation. Nothing profound, just the sort of things you'll hear anyplace in the country today.  Dr Steve - 2 new ways to kill TB 49 Pan As we watch the next civil war unfold I was reminded by by wife that the first civil war was not about slavery as much as this one coming will not be about health care. This is all about states rights and federal mandates. 14 states are now divided from the union and going to court over this bill. Not the GOP but Governors. The suits are against the feds from mandating what people are forced to do. If they fail, the next step will be civil unrest. It is on its way. I hope the supreme court will see what it will do to this nation and find it unconstitutional. 3dc In the hopper: Video with Sharpton saying: The american public overwhelming voted for Socialism when the voted for President Obama.... 3dc So will it be a historical fugue on the Russian Revolution? 3dc Switzerland ended the Russian Empire at the request of the Kaiser by shipping Lenin to Russia on a special train. Soros and fellow travelers in the East incited the mentally feeble in USA to support Obama the non-American. 49 Pan last four letters in American... i can last four letters in Republican.. i can last four letters in Democrats... rats HMMMM 49 Pan Ok so he took over America's largest manufacturing machine, the auto industry. Now he has gone after the nations health care, 1/6th of our economy. The banking industry is next. This is classic socialism. No one ever has committed so much harm to our nation than this man. No one man can plan and organize this much. His party from Chicago does not have the strength or capacity to do this, let alone the dems. Either this is all one big coincidence or this was planned and directed, or God now hates us. Bear in mind that  O-Club denizens  are very intelligent, gainfully employed ex-military.  They do not hate government; they hate this government.  Their comments are measured, without even a hint of that twittered crap.  49 Pan's reference to our "first civil war,"  however, does force me to once again to remind that the 1861-1865 to- do was not a civil war; it was a rebellion by several states. In retrospect, at its core, they were right to do so.  Too bad they lost (don't even - slavery would have ended in any event, and without the lingering hangover). PS: Sharpton is 100% right.
