Does government-run healthcare prove we’re undeserving of liberty?

Posted 23 Jun 2009 in Barack Obama, Democrats, healthcare, socialism

This week, ABC (the All Barack Channel) is teaming up with President Obama to blanket Wednesday’s broadcast day with hours of propaganda for his communist health care proposal. And the more I think about a government-run health care system, the more I want to vomit. I cannot for the life of me understand how so many of my fellow Americans have gleefully resigned their independence en masse to a nanny-state government who is more than willing to step in and seize control of every aspect of our lives in exchange for liberty. Is Medicare so wonderful and efficient that everyone now wants to get in line for it? Is our V.A. system a shining example of how health care...

Sen. Barbara Boxer imitates Dr. Evil

Posted 19 Jun 2009 in Democrats, stupidity

Barbara Boxer (D) would have to work REALLY hard to beclown herself more than she did this week when she chided a Brigadier General for calling her “Ma’am.” Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was testifying on the Louisiana coastal restoration process in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. He began to answer one of Boxer’s questions with “ma’am” when Boxer immediately cut him off. “You know, do me a favor,” an irritated Boxer said. “Could say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am?’” “Yes, ma’am,” Walsh interjected. “It’s just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it, yes, thank you,” she said. “Yes, senator,” he responded. However, Walsh surely meant no...

"The Letter" to our government

Posted 17 Jun 2009 in bailouts, call to action, conservatism, czars, healthcare, illegal immigration, patriotism, teaparty

I’ve been so busy over the past week, either freelancing or getting ready for my daughter’s wedding this weekend, that I just haven’t had time to blog. However, this was simply too good not to pass along. It’s a letter that was sent in to Glenn Beck, and it pretty much sums up how I feel about the direction our government has taken over the past few years and is currently heading under President Obama and his Democrat-led Congress. GLENN: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona. She writes an open letter to our nation’s leadership: I’m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a...

Dr. Obama’s prescription for America?

Posted 10 Jun 2009 in Barack Obama, Democrats, healthcare

Last year, candidate Obama made a big deal about creating a nationalized health care program which would “…give health insurance to 47 million Americans who are now without coverage.” Of course, what he failed to mention was that the figure he cited includes American citizens as well as illegal immigrants. And the fact that it will cost well over $1 trillion dollars (which we do not have) to provide health insurance for everyone. That could be part of the reason why Chairman Obama is now saying, “If we don’t get it done this year, we’re not going to get it done.” The more we find out about the Democrats’ plan to seize control of our health care industry, the...

D-Day, 65 years later

Posted 06 Jun 2009 in patriotism, victory, war

65 years ago today, American troops stormed Normandy’s Omaha Beach in the largest amphibious assault in the history of warfare (29,000 American soldiers dead, 106,000 wounded and missing). In 1984, President Reagan gave a stirring speech at Pointe Du Huc where he honored the U.S. Army’s 2nd Ranger Battalion who triumphed after losing more than 60% of their men valiantly scaling the 100ft cliffs under heavy Nazi fire. The world owes a colossal debt of gratitude to all the men and women who unflinchingly stared evil squarely in the face and selflessly gave of themselves in the name of freedom. Luckily this struggle didn’t occur in modern times, as the mainstream media would have certainly handled things differently than...

Newsweek reporter says Obama is God

Posted 06 Jun 2009 in Barack Obama, cult of Obama, media bias, outrage

Um, wow. Newsweek editor Evan Thomas and Chris “leg thrill” Matthews officially disqualify themselves from being objective journalists when they publicly admitted their membership in the Church of Obama. VAN THOMAS: Well, we were the good guys in 1984, it felt that way. It hasn’t felt that way in recent years. So Obama’s had, really, a different task We’re seen too often as the bad guys. And he – he has a very different job from – Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is ‘we are above that now.’ We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial. We stand for something – I mean, in a way, Obama’s standing above...
