Hello Friends,
The Democrats are hysterical and coming out with the most outrageous statements and attacks possible. Harry Reid is a case in point and he and his minions are imploding all over the place.
It's interesting but we recently saw something similar happen in our small ALP community. When some were caught with their pants down they went berserk and imploded. They lowered the boom on themselves and some haven't been seen for a while and some are gone for good.
That as an example is what will most probably happen with the Democratic party. As time goes by more people are becoming aware of the ObamaCare fiasco and all the lies surrounding it. The truth has a way of coming to the fore and they go bananas with their berserk attacks and name calling.
Michelle Malkin wrote an excellent article on this and it's well worth the read. Lies, misinformation and attacks are the only way for them to try and pass their nefarious ObamaCare bill and I have a funny feeling they might be in for the surprise of their life.
Their Global Warming scam is also out in the public eye and scrutiny and people aren't liking what they are learning at all. No one likes being made a fool of and that's what they are discovering now.
Shalom,
Peter
How low can they go?
The desperate Democratic peddlers of a government health caretakeover have proclaimed an insurance “holocaust in America” (Fla.Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson), lambasted conservative health care townhall protesters as “political terrorists” (Indiana Democratic Rep.Baron Hill), sent SEIU thugs to demonstrate outside Democratic Sen. JoeLieberman’s private residence, and derided senior citizens questioningPresident Obama’s fuzzy math savings claims (California Democratic Rep.Pete Stark: “I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn’tbe worth wasting the urine.”) Now, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isleading them deeper into demagogic mire.
This week, Reid pummeled opponents with the worn-out race card.Following in the mucky footsteps of former President Jimmy Carter (whoblamed GOP Rep. Joe Wilson’s objections to Obama’s policy deceptions ona “racism inclination”) and Jesse Jackson (”You can’t vote againsthealth care and call yourself a black man”), Reid likened Republicanswho object to socialized medicine to slave masters, enemies of women’ssuffrage and Bull Connor.
Reid’s rhetorical aim was worse than the unhinged Minnesotaprotester who threw tomatoes at Sarah Palin during a book signing andhit a police officer instead. Splat.
Mustering up as much indignation as his taut face could exhibit,Reid lectured those standing in the way of Demcare: “When this countrybelatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug intheir heels and said, ‘Slow down. It’s too early. Things aren’t badenough.’
“When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote,some insisted, ‘Slow down. There will be a better day to do that. Todayisn’t quite right.’
“When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rightsto everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senatorsresorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today.”
It was the GOP that fought slavery and the Democratic Party thatbattled to preserve it. It was then-Democrat Strom Thurmond who led thecivil rights filibuster that Reid tried to lay on Republicans. And it’sthe Democratic Party, not the GOP, that boasts ex-Klansman Sen. RobertByrd among its senior leaders. But don’t confuse Reid with historywhile he’s chasing Republicans around with his “RAAAACISM!” stamp.
The more the American public learns about the choice-limiting,debt-exploding, bureaucracy-multiplying health care takeover, the moreopposition increases. And the more unhinged the Democratic majority andits supporters get.
There is now a $200,000 “bounty” on the head of U.S Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue.
Left-wing activist website “Velvet Revolution” published a want adthis week with Donohue’s picture on it, soliciting information leadingto “the arrest and conviction” of the business leader for “opposingprogressive initiatives.” The witch-hunt is targeting Donohue for hisoutspoken criticism of the costs and impact of the Dems’ health carelegislation on small businesses across the country.
Such reckless propaganda accusing opponents of “criminality” isn’tlimited to nutroots publications. In the august pages of The New YorkTimes last week, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Nicholas Kristoftitled his universal care manifesto, “Are We Going To Let John Die?”Kristof elevated unemployed Oregon sawmill worker John Brodniak, 23, asthe Demcare poster child. Reportedly diagnosed as having a cavernoushemangioma, a neurological condition, Kristof bemoaned: “Withoutinsurance, John has been unable to get surgery or even help managingthe pain.”
An emergency room asked Brodniak not to return without insurance,Kristof claims (a practice that is prohibited by federal law). Nodoctor would treat him, Kristof reported (get your grain of saltready). Isn’t it “monstrous,” Kristof concludes (hanky alert), “forpoliticians to avert their eyes, make excuses and deny coverage toinnumerable Americans just like John?”
Ready for the punch line? Brodniak not only has coverage throughOregon’s Medicaid program, but has also been a patient at theprestigious Oregon Health and Science University in Portland (asafety-net institution that accepts all Medicaid patients) for the pastthree weeks — a fact Kristof either deliberately ignored and suppressedfrom readers or didn’t bother to find out before publishing his screed.
In other words, Brodniak was already being treated and cared for bya top-notch neurologist under our existing health care system whenKristof came along to scream at Congress for letting him die.
Kristof’s tale follows on the heels of at least two dubious horrorstories disseminated by President Obama. In September, Obama told ofIllinois cancer patient Otto Raddatz, who supposedly died after he wasdropped from his insurance plan when his insurer discovered anunreported gallstone the patient hadn’t known about. The truth? He gotthe treatment he needed in 2005 and died just this year.
In another case, Obama claimed, a woman with breast cancer lost herinsurance because “she forgot to declare a case of acne.” In fact, shefailed to disclose a previous heart condition and did not list herweight accurately, but her insurance was restored anyway after intensepublic lobbying.
But why bother with troublesome facts? In the insatiable pursuit ofgovernment control, truth and rationality are the first casualties.
