Against Obamacare? Watch Out

Oppose It? You're A Fascist, Racist, Hater - Larry Elder:
"Differences of opinion and ideology, passionately held, drive the opposition to Obamacare.

Yet to shut down the effort to overturn Obamacare's unpopular assault on freedom and prosperity, the left resorts to a frequently employed tactic. They and their media co-conspirators find whack jobs holding stupid signs – or saying or doing stupid things – and say, 'See! Right-wing intolerance, hatred and racism fuel this movement.'

Idiots, wing nuts and haters exist – on both sides of the political spectrum – in a country of 300 million people. Those who threaten and engage in violence should be arrested and prosecuted. Those who use incendiary language should be denounced.

But which 'hater' said the following, and where was the condemnation?"

Great article from Larry Elder.

Larry exposes the hypocrisies of the left with a few "hatred" quotes from some of the most notable paragons of tolerance the Progressives have to offer.

It's quite a little history lesson, reminiscent of Pat Buchanan mixed in with a bit of Ann Coulter-ish sarcasm. For some reason it brings to mind an old bumper sticker I once saw:
A Person Of Tolerance And Diversity ….. Keyed My Car!

Read it and enjoy.

Mexicans Could Seek Asylum in U.S.

Mexicans Facing Drug War Violence Could Seek Political Asylum in U.S.:
"The spreading violence of the drug wars along the Mexican border may have one unintended consequence. It could upend efforts to curb illegal immigrants by giving Mexican border-crossers a tool they never had before: a valid claim for political asylum.

For decades, immigrants coming from Mexico were denied asylum because Mexico was a stable and relatively peaceful democracy. But that is changing now."

Well it looks like the Washington crowd might have found an easy way to accomplish "Immigration Reform" without the need for any troublesome legislation, and as an added bonus have a nifty excuse to silence voter outrage.
Political Asylum.

The Gang Of 534 must be overjoyed:

• More uneducated citizens who will vote in a block for their favorite party.
• More cheap labor for  their  political patrons   American Corporations and Unions.
• More taxpayers to add to the Ponzi Schemes of Medicare and Social Security.
• More Cannon Fodder for foreign intervention.

What A Deal.
Both parties must be elated.
In their wildest dreams, the Politicians couldn't ask for more.

Of course there is that little annoying thing that everyone in DC likes to fondly refer to as "Unintended Consequences."
But what the hell, they wont have to worry about them until later, after the election, when nobody will remember.

Or Will They?

Every Body Knows

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

  


I've only seen drips and drabs of Sin City while channel surfing, but it never made an impression on me.
So don't ask me how I ran across this video or why it caught my attention, it's one of life's mysteries.

At any rate, the song got me thinking about what's happening in Washington and on Wall Street lately:

The Banks Are Broke

Social Security And Medicare Are Insolvent

The Political System Is Corrupt Beyond Repair

Wall Street Bank Executives Are Thieves

The Stock Market Has Lost All Sense Of Reality 

Illegal Immigration Is Out Of Control
Nancy Pelosi Is Insane

The Inmates Are Running The Asylum

People are closing their eyes and desperately trying to make believe that all of this isn't true, but -

Obama in Rude Denial

The American Spectator : Obama in Rude Denial: 
"IT'S ALL A GOP PLOT.
The White House political and legislative operations were said to be livid with the announcement by several large U.S. companies that they were taking multi-million or as much as a billion dollar charges because of the new health-care law, the issue was front-and-center with key lawmakers. By last Friday, AT&T, Caterpillar, Deere & Co., and AK Steel Holding Corp. had all announced that they were taking the one-time charges on their first-quarter balance sheets. More companies were expected to make similar announcements this week.

'These are Republican CEOs who are trying to embarrass the President and Democrats in general,' says a White House legislative affairs staffer. 'Where do you hear about this stuff? The Wall Street Journal editorial page and conservative websites. No one else picked up on this but you guys. It's BS.'"

 
The melt down continues. 
Reality is starting to set in with the Democrats who happily cast their ballots for this legislation. Well some of them anyway.
The DC elites can't seem to come to grips with the fact that that they just made the economy ten times worse.

Those pesky Congressional Aides better start reading Ms. Pelosi's bills before they advise their bosses to vote for them. The one thing that the Democratic leadership hung their hat on was that the electorate would forget about health care when the economy recovered by November. Well it ain't gonna happen.

I also suggest that a course in Basic Accounting should be mandatory for anyone involved in the creation of a bill.
They should also verse themselves in Newtons Third Law:
"Every action has a reaction equal in magnitude and opposite in direction."
This way no one can claim the old "Unintended Consequences" defense, we've heard that one too many times. It's malfeasance to allege that they couldn't see this coming.

Congress and The President have to realize that the US is just about broke.
They killed The Goose Who Laid The Golden Egg by destroying the middle class, and the Money Tree is dead because they over harvested the fruit, and haven't watered or fed it in years.

The guys and girls in DC are like old broken down Silent Film stars who are well past their prime.
They've become like the proverbial Millionaires with out the Millions, and they're dragging us down with them.


Sorry, I am feeling very snarky this morning.
The thought of having my hard earned company benefits taken away from me always puts me in a bad mood.
