Sheriff Taylor Loses Small Town Values

Aug 1, 2010 Political

Andy Griffith played a sheriff in the fictional town of Mayberry. In Mayberry people did not have to lock their doors, neighbors helped each other out, Sundays were for worship, and children were allowed to play cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians and any other game and were not considered politically incorrect or bigoted.

Something happened to the people of the town of Mayberry. Ron Howard, who played Opie Taylor, is one of Hollywood’s biggest left wing liberals and Sheriff Taylor has abandoned the small town values people who watched the show admired.

Andy Griffith is now a spokesperson for Obamacare and his gig is paid for with our tax dollars out of Medicare funds. Griffith appears in an ad telling seniors how wonderful Obamacare will be:

The TV star – whose role as sheriff of Mayberry made him an enduring symbol of small-town American values – tells seniors that “good things are coming” under the health care overhaul, including free preventive checkups and lower-cost prescriptions for Medicare recipients. My Way News

It would appear as if the Obama regime and Andy Griffith are trying to dupe seniors. As the piece reads, the role of sheriff in Mayberry made Griffith and enduring symbol of small town American values.

Reliance on the government is not a small town American value. Expecting others to pay for you is not a small town American value. In small town America, people are self reliant and do not want government interference.

To make things worse, Griffith tells seniors that good things are coming including FREE check ups. NOTHING IS FREE. Taxpayers have to pay for this. It is definitely not free and saying it is only muddies the waters. It is confusing by design. Seniors are skeptical about Obamacare and they should be. The man he picked to run Medicare believes in rationing care and is a supporter of the British system that allows people who are deemed too expensive to care for to die.

Yes, we are talking about death panels. There is no doubt that government officials will make decisions about people’s care and that some folks will not get care because it is too expensive or they are too old. They will be sent home with pain pills, per Dr. Obama’s instructions.

Andy Griffith is the symbol of small town America and trust. Everyone trusted sheriff Taylor and the way he handled things. Certainly this man is not lying to seniors and only has their best interests at heart.

Right. He is duping the poor seniors at the behest of the Obama regime because seniors are reliable voters and they will be at the polls in November even if no other demographic sees fit to vote. Seniors will be there and they are not happy so the regime needed to bring in a trusted senior to talk some sense into them.

Unfortunately, Griffith cannot be trusted. He has been a Democrat supporter for years so his support for this is not surprising. However, casting him in the ad, given the association his former character had with small town American values, is nothing more than a deception designed to dupe the elderly simply because Griffith does not hold those values in real life.

If the Obama regime believed in truth in advertising they would have Dr. Jack Kevorkian as their spokesperson.

That would be an accurate portrayal of the things to come under Obamacare.

Griffith is lucky though. He is not going to live much longer and if he happens to make it to the implementation of Obamacare it will not effect him. He has enough money to pay for whatever care he wants.

The rest of the elderly will not be so fortunate. You old folks had better vote in November and get rid of all the people who did this to you.

And if you are smart you will ditch your AARP membership. There are other organizations (here and here) that assist the elderly and, unlike the AARP, they actually look out for the interests of the elderly.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

The Obama Media

Jul 21, 2010 Political

The main stream media is a wing of the Democrat party. The MSM carries the water for Democrats and will do anything to push that point of view. The journalists have gone from reporting the news to being fixers who promote good stories and kill bad ones when a Democrat is involved but make sure any bad act (real, perceived, or invented) by a Republican is pushed and played on a continuous loop.

Rush Limbaugh has stated many times that the members of the liberal state run media get their marching orders and talking points from one place. Rush often plays a montage of audio clips from the various news shows and in the clips the reporters all use the same buzz words. If a few reporters use the word gravitas it would be a coincidence but when 10 or 15 (or more) use it then it is coordinated. Limbaugh has played clips on a number of occasions and each time some new word, phrase, or theme is repeated by the journalists.

They are all getting their marching orders from the Democrats.

We have also long suspected that the media members got together to coordinate stories and to figure ways to help the Democrats. We now know that the private journalist list (Journolist) to which many liberal members of the media belong, is a place where they get together and figure ways to help Democrats.

This was particularly true for Barack Obama. When Jeremiah Wright first emerged the impact on the Obama campaign could have been a disaster. Wright is an anti American racist preacher who spouts off stupidity about white people and this country and his rantings could have made things difficult for Obama because the only way he wins is with the white vote.

In steps the MSM via the Journolist. They decided on ways to steer the story away from Wright and to make it another issue. They decided to pick a conservative who opposed Obama and call him a racist. They actually coordinated using the race card to help Obama.

The people on the list also discussed ways to intimidate other news people who they felt were not following the script.

Rush was right. They do get their marching orders and they do sit around and think of ways to protect Obama.

In the good ole days we had investigative reporters. Now we have hacks who work for the Democrats posing as reporters.

And look what they have done to this country…

Rory Reid Removes Raunchy Reference

Jun 26, 2010 Political

Rory Reid, SON OF SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID, has stopped using his last name in his campaign ads and on his website. Rory REID is running to be governor of Nevada and has apparently discovered that HIS FATHER is not too popular. Harry REID has approval ratings that are extremely low and is running behind a TEA PArty nominee in the latest polls. There is little belief that Harry REID will win reelection and evidently his son believes the name recognition could spell trouble for him.

In an ad that abuses children, Rory REID’s last name is not present. It is now all about Rory for governor. The ad itself is despicable enough because children are used as props (no doubt the children of teacher’s union members) to push some notion that it is all about the children and that Rory cares (Rory REID, that is). The ad has children telling adults how they should go about selecting the next governor and doing it with ideas that children their ages do not think about. But hey, it is all for the children who obviously know nothing about Rory REID because they describe “highest ethical standards” (as if they would know), something not generally associated with the REID political family.

Rory REID has also removed his name from his website (though you can find it if you look around). The url used to be roryreid.com but that redirects to rory2010.com. If you hit the stop button quickly enough you can see the old url just before it redirects (sorry, no links to the moron. You will have to type it in to see).

Rory REID (son of politician Harry REID) is so embarrassed by his father that he has removed the family name in order to deceive voters. Funny, he did not mind using it when he thought it would help.

There is one problem though. Rory REID’s last name will need to be on the ballot when it is time to vote and it will be on the ballot with his father.

Yes, you progressive morons can run but you cannot hide.

People in Nevada, you do not need another REID in government. They are a bunch of corrupt, self-serving morons who are out for themselves only.

Get rid of Harry REID and keep his disgusting offspring from ever being elected.

You will be much better for it.

UPDATE: Rory REID down by more than 20 points

Never surrender, never submit.

Democrats Push Forward Despite Danger

Mar 13, 2010 Political

The Democrats are moving along at full speed in order to ram the health care takeover down our throats (though it might be more appropriate to indicate they are ramming it in another body part considering what they are trying to do to us). Nancy Pelosi is busing tightening leashes and Barack Obama has postponed his mini vacation for a few days to help usher this thing along.

I told you before that this is not about health and it is not about care, it is about control. It is also something that Democrats must pass. They need this to secure a win on a signature issue for Obama. Democrats push forward at their own peril because, by and large, Americans do not want this. The reasons are many including those who do not want it because it is not liberal enough, those who do not like certain provisions and those who do not want any of it because they believe government does not belong in the health care business.

No matter what the reason, the opposition is too loud to ignore. The Democrats However, are good at doing just that. Last August Americans came out in force to town hall meetings and voiced their objections. The Democrat’s answer was to stop having town hall meetings.

Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen, two Democrat pollsters, are warning of Armageddon if the Democrats pass this monstrosity over the objections of the public. They freely admit that Democrats stand to lose seats in the midterm elections (a historical trend) but go on to say that Democrats will lose many more if they pass it.

Their blind persistence in the face of reality threatens to turn this political march of folly into an electoral rout in November. In the wake of the stinging loss in Massachusetts, there was a moment when the president and the Democratic leadership seemed to realize the reality of the health-care situation. Yet like some seductive siren of Greek mythology, the lure of health-care reform has arisen again.

~snip~

However, a solid majority of Americans opposes the massive health-reform plan. Four-fifths of those who oppose the plan strongly oppose it, according to Rasmussen polling this week, while only half of those who support the plan do so strongly. Many more Americans believe the legislation will worsen their health care, cost them more personally and add significantly to the national deficit. Never in our experience as pollsters can we recall such self-deluding misconstruction of survey data.

The writing is on the wall. Despite the claims that people like the bill when they know more about it, the reality is people do not like it and do not want it. Democrats proceed at their own peril.

The authors indicate that people agree that reform is needed and that some parts of the plan are appealing but that the plan in total is not liked. This has not stopped Democrats from moving on, full speed ahead. They continue to claim people will like it once they see what is in it (which we apparently cannot do until it is passed). This is untrue because people already know what is in it and they do not like it.

As Caddell and Schoen state; “…the battle for public opinion has been lost.”

But this will not stop Democrats from walking off a cliff.

And the bad thing for them is that if this does not pass, at this point in the game, those who voted for it will be in real trouble for backing a loser and against the wishes of those they are supposed to represent.

Elect Scott Brown To Kill This Health Legislation

Jan 16, 2010 Political

There is little disagreement on the need for health care reform. Health care, in its current configuration, is unsustainable and it needs to be fixed. The disagreement is in how to fix it. Conservatives want a free market approach that allows people to shop across state lines, less government interference, and more competition. The statists want the government to run the show and become the keepers of our health care. Government does not run anything efficiently and the estimates of the cost of their monstrosity are well below what the actual costs will be. One only needs to look at Massachusetts to see how the cost of “free” health care has skyrocketed to far above what was estimated and this has led to some people not being covered and care being rationed. Mitt Romney, a conservative of convenience, put this monster in place.

The people of Massachusetts have a chance to keep the rest of the country from suffering a similar fate by electing Scott Brown to fill the seat formerly occupied by Ted Kennedy’s rotund rear. Electing Brown will add a little more balance to the Senate and help keep Congress from rubber stamping Obama’s radical socialist agenda.

This will not be easy. The Democrats have mobilized and Obama himself is heading to the state to scare up support for the “yes” woman, Martha Coakley. Ted Kennedy is working the graveyards to scare up the dead people vote and the unions and community organizing groups, such as ACORN, are out in force to do whatever it takes to get Coakley elected.

Scott Brown needs to win and win by enough to keep from having a recount. Two problems emerge with a recount. The first is it will delay Brown’s arrival at the Senate and give the shady liberals more time to ram the current bill through. Second, Democrats ALWAYS find ballots when there is a recount. In elections where the Democrat is behind the liberal machine miraculously finds a stack of ballots that were “not counted.” It takes a while for them to emerge because it takes a while for union workers and ACORN thieves to sit in a room and fill them out. Democrats find ways to manufacture ballots that they need. If Al Gore had asked that the entire state of Florida be recounted Democrat operatives would have “found” enough votes to secure a victory for him.

Beating a recount will be hard and will take time so we need to ensure that the margin of victory is large enough not to have one. The Democrats are already working on contingencies for a Brown win. The state will delay, as long as it can, the certification of Brown. When Ted Kennedy won the special election for this seat he was sworn in the very next day. Kennedy is a Democrat and there are different rules for them. Niki Tsongas was in the House in three days after her special election victory.

But Brown will face a hurdle of however long the Democrats can make the wait. Once he is certified he must be sworn into the Senate and this will be done at the convenience of Joe Biden’s schedule. Look for Biden to be sent on an overseas mission if Brown wins.

Barney Frank is worried about the election and has told people that if Brown wins health care is dead. I assume he means this health care bill, not all health care but he is a drama queen and needs to deceive for maximum effect. He is good at it too. This is the guy who helped force banks to make risky loans, claimed that Fannie and Freddie MAC were not in trouble and then blamed it all on the banking industry. He is slick and he knows how to lie but he is right that this legislation would be in trouble.

Barney has his panties in a wad but the Democrats have a plan to use reconciliation in the Senate if Brown wins. This process is not supposed to be used for this type of legislation because it is for tax issues and budget issues. While health care will impact each of these it is not either of these. Democrats will have to scale the bill back in order to use reconciliation but once they get what they want they will try to add things in. Brown’s vote could prevent that from happening. The Democrats, who chastised Republicans for using all tools at their disposal, will use a tool that is not designed for this type of legislation in order to FORCE this bill on the public. The rules have never meant much to Democrats but more Americans are watching and there will be hell to pay if they play slick games which is especially true because conservatives are already looking to vote them out and liberals will be ticked off at the watered down legislation.

Patriots in Massachusetts, now is the time for you to band together to elect a man who can slow down this process and make these people listen to the public. You can elect a Senator who will not be a rubber stamp to every Obama/Pelosi/Reid gimmick that comes down the pike. Martha Coakley will vote in lockstep with these people and will help leave this country a vastly different (and much worse) place by the time Obama is out of office.

Everyone else, please call you Congress critters and tell them not to play games. Tell these temple monkeys that we will not tolerate reconciliation or delaying Brown’s certification and swearing in, should he win.

Tuesday has the potential to be a big day in US political history and the voters of Massachusetts have the chance to do something that will go down in the history books (not the rewritten ones liberals use) as a game changing moment in our history.

Vote for Scott Brown!

That is change you can believe in.

UPDATE: Another Coakly gaffe. Red Sox nation cannot be happy with her.
