Soros Losers

Unplugged  There seems to be a disconnect going on out there.  The latest Rasmussen Poll shows that despite Saturday Night's House passage, the public is against Obamacare 52%-45% .  Worse for Obama, only 25% Strongly Support the plan while 42% are Strongly Opposed.  With that in mind, I wonder what MoveOn.Soros is thinking?  “ MoveOn Attacks Dems Who Voted Against Health Care The backlash has begun. MoveOn.org is launching a round of TV ads this week targeting Democratic House members who voted against the health care bill over the weekend. Thirty-nine Democrats voted against the bill, though MoveOn is starting by targeting only six fiscally conservative "Blue Dog" Democrats: Rep. Mike Ross, R-Ala.; Rep. Jason Atlmire, D-Pa.; Rep. Glenn Nye, D-Va.; Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va.; Rep. Larry Kissell, D-N.C..; and Rep. Heath Shuler, D-N.C. All but Ross and Boucher are either in their first or second terms in the House. A spokesman for the group said MoveOn plans to spend $500,000 on the ads, which come as liberals seek to pressure moderate Democrats in the Senate to support President Obama in his quest for health care reform. ” For the most part those 39 no votes were cast by democrats from Republican leaning districts where, one would expect, opposition is strong.  So what do the MoveOn.twats hope to accomplish with that $500,000?  Encourage more liberal candidates to contest in the primaries?  My guess is that by next summer Obamacrats will be fearful of appearing in public at all.  I say that without hyperbole.

Fort Hood Fallout

GHACK!

I puckishly commented on a post about the Fort Hood murders that we'd soon be hearing cries to "Ban guns in the military"  More prescient than puckish, that now seems. “ My heart goes out to the victims of the Fort Hood and Orlando shootings and their loved ones. Senseless, senseless incidents. I will not go quietly into the night on this one. America needs to do something about idiots with handguns. How many more Fort Hoods and Orlandos do there have to be before our political leaders have the guts to severely restrict access to murderous weapons?

Gen. Robert Cone for rationalizing the defenseless condition troops were in with "this is our home.  We're supposed to be safe ... " “ Sure, General, your troops were "safe at home"... in a war with no fronts. They were every bit as safe at home as the crews of the USS Cole or the battleship Arizona. Safe at home like the Marines in their barracks in Beirut. An army at war does not have the luxury of "safe at home". Do you think the bomber crews of the Mighty Eighth landed in southern England after pasting the hell out of the Nazis and called out "Olly olly oxen free! We're safe at home now; we'll be putting on our slippers and lighting a pipe. No fair bombing us 'til tomorrow, Adolf!" or do you think they made sure that there were plenty of slit trenches, anti-aircraft guns, and armed guards on the base? ” And this seems as good a time as any to throw this e-mail out there. “ Civilian officers Kimberly Munley and Mark Todd arrived minutes later. They found the shooter outside, standing about 15 yards away, calmly firing at people as they ran. "I yelled at him, 'Stop! Drop the weapon!' And that's when he raised his weapon and fired a couple of shots at me," Todd told CNN. Munley and Todd took cover, the gunman walked behind a building, and the two officers apparently became separated. Todd said he went around the other side of building and exchanged gunfire with the shooter, who flinched, slid down against a telephone pole and fell onto his back. The confrontation was over in less than a minute, Todd estimated. By then, Munley was down with gunshot wounds to both legs and a wrist. Todd said he did not know whether his fellow officer had wounded the shooter; earlier reports had Munley and the gunman wounding each other in an exchange of gunfire.   Casca ” Is Kimberly Munley another Jessica Lynch?  Sorry for the cynicism.  I just cannot allow myself to take anything at face value these days.

The House Bitch

The NUTC's Choice

Red State's Dan Perrin looks at what happened Saturday night, and sees a bitch from hell throwing her babies into the fire for a moment of self aggrandizement. “ Had Rep. Stupak’s amendment failed, the House bill would have failed. No doubt, and the shock of seeing 64 Dem votes for Rep. Stupak’s don’t use public money to kill the innocents was a Maxell moment for both the Democratic and Republican House Leadership. No one predicted that high a Yes Dem vote. The desperate position the Speaker must have been in to have to accept the Stupak amendment should not be understated. She and her pro-abortion pals understand that Stupak was a huge step down the path of America becoming a pro-life nation. They have imposed upon themselves and their ilk a negative precedent which cannot be undone. Dropping the Stupak amendment in conference, should the bill pass the Senate, which I doubt — will mean the conference report will fail on the House floor. Just think of the desperation of the Speaker, to be FORCED to accept this political price. She pivoted on abortion, and decided the Stupak amendment was worth the price to pass the bill. For the Jamestown Kool-aid brigade of Dems who voted with the Speaker who are from Red States — you will die a hard and agonizing political death of your own making. Whatever rationale you used to vote for this politically and fiscally toxic bill $3 Trillion spending ObamaCare bill — you are wrong and you are TOAST. (Here is the Congressional Budget Office letter on the $3 Trillion in spending number.) ”

At first I didn't like John Pinette, but over time he's become one of my favorite comics.  Always clean.  Anyway, Cuzzin Ricky and honey are touring the continent.  He's been sending me pictures of each meal, but yesterday sent this video of Pinette's adventures with French cuisine.

Enemy Within

What if ...

...  Japanese military cadre took to New York city streets on December 9th, 1941, gloating over their successful sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and enlisting support from the Nipponese community?  What response from average passers-by would they have received?  And what if the New  York Times wondered whether the attack on Pearl Harbor hadn't been somehow justified?  What response from  that day's "Tea-Bagger?" What if FDR removed our military presence in the Philippines and Hawaii, so as to foster a closer relationship with Tojoboys?  So, what's changed?  And what are we waiting for?

The String Theory  supports an infinite number of parallel universes, with new universes being created just by thinking of one.  So, and this is the dominant science amongst today's physicists, it is for certain that this world I will describe exists.  It's a lot like the one we know, except a guy named Barry Obama died of a heroin overdose in 1992.  The daughter of a Baltimore politician, Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro, died in 1957 after getting a coat hanger abortion (that was the cover story.  In reality, her father strangled her after she delivered a bastard Negro son.  Italians are somewhat racist.).  None of the current democrat leadership exist.  They were all killed when Richard Nixon, to much applause, ordered a B-52 strike on the Woodstock festival, just before nuking China.  My wife insisted that a young woman named Sarah Heath be allowed to share our marriage bed several years ago. That's worked out pretty good. Oh, Ronald Reagan has been  president for 29 years now. Y'all are invited to visit ... it's a little bubble just in front of your nose, if you can see it, come on in.  Ain't life grand?    PS- the blood spatter?  Mo Sup reminded me that I'm still here in this dimension.  Sheesh.

House Passes Landmark Health Care Overhaul

House Democrats narrowly clinched a landmark victory on a sweeping health care overhaul Saturday night, voting 220-215 to deliver President Barack Obama a key win on his No. 1 domestic priority.

Tom Coburn

Why We Love Sen. Coburn, Reason #325: Dr. No Threatening to Have Bill Read on Senate Floor

“ Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma Republican who developed a close friendship with President Obama when they served together in the Senate, is threatening to have the entire health care bill read on the Senate floor. Senior Senate Democratic aides had heard Coburn was considering having potentially thousands of pages read aloud in effort to stall passage. “If he did this it would be even outrageous for a guy who’s become known as Dr. No around here,” one of them told POLITICO. Coburn’s office confirmed that he is indeed thinking about having the bill read. Ed Morrissey thinks that this could delay the bill for up to half a year; I don’t expect it to go that far, but Coburn’s poised to be able to do one heck of a monkeywrenching job on the health care rationing bill for at least the rest of 2009…[ H/T Red States] ”   How did one state manage to get nearly 100% of the nation's decent Senators?  WTF?

Sgt. Richard Yarosh

Burned GI's Portrait Smithsonian Bound

“ Retired Army Sgt. Richard Yarosh has gotten used to the stares. His face is blanketed in knotty scar tissue. His nose tip is missing. His ears are gone, as is part of his right leg. His fingers are permanently bent and rigid. All is the result of an explosion in Iraq that doused him in fuel and fire three years ago. "I know people are curious," he said. "They'll stop in their tracks and look. I guess I can understand. I probably would have stared, too." Soon, a lot more people will be staring at Yarosh's face but in a very different way: A life-sized oil painting of him will go on display at the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington later this month. The portrait, by Matthew Mitchell, is a finalist in the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition, which recognizes modern portraiture at the gallery known for its collection of notable Americans.
