Prominent Democrat States What We Already Knew

Feb 22, 2010 Political

During the last campaign the left made a stink about Sarah Palin’s experience and the fact that she would be a heartbeat away from the presidency. The left made these claims despite the fact that she had more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The left ignored Obama’s lack of executive experience in spite of the fact that he would actually be the heartbeat.

Now a prominent Democrat, and a black one at that, is stating what thinking people knew all along:

Doug Wilder, who in 1990s Virginia was America’s first elected black governor and was an early backer of Obama. “One problem is they do not have sufficient experience at governing at the executive branch level. The deeper problem is that they are not listening to the people.” Times UK

Wilder is making the statement about Obama’s Chicago Mafia but it is important to note that Obama has no more experience than they do.

When Wilder discussed not having experience governing at the executive level, whether he meant to or not, he was discussing Obama as well.

Most Army privates serving in Iraq or Afghanistan have more leadership experience than Obama and his Mafia…

The Well Educated First Lady

Feb 10, 2010 Political

Sarah Palin spoke at a Tea Party convention this past week and the left went nuts over the fact that she wrote a few notes on her hand. Those who brought us the vulgarity of teabagger started taking about Sara Palin’s hand job.

Classy Bunch, the left.

Palin also attacked the man boy in the White House and took him to task. Naturally, Obama being the metrosexual that he is, was defended by his wife. While discussing how wonderful her hubby is Michelle Obama, the well educated and smartest of the smart, said this:

I think my husband has done a phenomenal job staying on course, looking his critics in the eye, coming up with clear solutions against staying the course. [emphasis mine]

Michelle Obama said her husband has done a phenomenal job of staying on course and then said he had clear solutions against staying the course.

I do not have an Ivy League education but I can certainly see that this makes no sense whatsoever. In an effort to defend her hubby, Michelle told us that he did two completely opposite things.

I know that Barack Obama has taken some heat because he has to use a teleprompter to go to the bathroom and turn about is fair play so it is no big deal that the left mocked Palin for writing notes on her hand. It is worthy to note however, that she did NOT use a teleprompter when she delivered her speech.

I know the left likes to portray Palin as stupid and empty headed and the notes on her hand only gave them fodder (even the moron Gibbs who can’t complete a sentence mocked her) so it was not surprising that Michelle Obama, the smart woman in the crowd, had to come out to address Palin’s attack on the man boy.

But given how completely stupid and moronic Michelle Obama’s statement was, perhaps she should have written a few notes on her on hand.

Maybe she learned to speak from John Kerry who was for it before he was against it…

I also wonder if the press “corpse” will point out Michelle’s stupidity.

Elderly Get Practice For Obamacare Death Panels

Dec 2, 2009 Political

The idea of death panels made the liberals laugh at Sarah Palin. She suggested that the Obamacare plan would create an environment where care would be rationed and the elderly would not get the care they needed. She likened those who would make those decisions to death panels and the left ridiculed her for it.

They ridiculed even though there is no doubt that there will be rationing of care. Forcing people to have health insurance and then adding millions more people to the mix will mean that care must be rationed for two very simple reasons.

The first is that there will not be enough health care providers.

The second is that the plan will cost so much money (two or three times what they say) so care will be rationed based on cost and the number of years a person has on this Earth. Young people work (when Obama has not caused unemployment to rise) and they pay taxes. The elderly consume about two-thirds of the health care dollars spent in this country so they will be allowed to die off for the sake of efficiency and cost savings. Obama did tell them they might be better off just taking a pill.

The elderly are already finding out what rationing will be like and they are finding out because of the Swine Flu vaccine. The elderly cannot get it. They are being denied the vaccine because of shortages. There are plenty of elderly that have underlying diseases who should be vaccinated but the vaccines are being rationed to children, young people with underlying medical conditions, pregnant women and health care workers. The elderly, left out in the cold:

But as grateful as he is, the 74-year-old Anter admits one thing will be bugging him during the holidays.

“The truth is,” the retired paper sales executive said last week, “when I think about not being able to get a swine flu shot, I get real pissed off.”

Two months after H1N1 flu vaccine was first distributed to public health districts around the country, people 65 and older with serious medical conditions still can’t get vaccinated.

Anter’s doctors at Stanford University Hospital, where he received his transplant, tell him he has a compromised immune system and “the H1N1 flu could do me in.”

He takes at least nine prescription medications daily to stay alive.

“But when I try to get a shot, I’m told I’m too old ” he said as he sat in the study of his Peccole Ranch home.

“I feel that they see me and other older people as garbage and are just waiting for the trucks to come pick us up,” Anter said.

“I served my country. I enlisted during the Korean War. You don’t treat people this way just because they’re older.” Review Journal

I am well aware of the statistics of who is more likely to get the Swine Flu and the young appear to be more susceptible than the elderly but this assumes the elderly who are in relatively good health. Those with serious medical conditions, especially conditions that compromise their immune systems, should be immunized.

They should be in the group of people who get the vaccine first but since they are old they are not getting it.

What other possible reason could there be for denying the vaccination to old people with compromised immune systems?

The sad reality is that they are not as productive and do not have as many years left as the younger folks so they are not getting the vaccine. Sure, those in good health have no reason to worry but the elderly with medical conditions that put them more at risk should be vaccinated.

This is a foreshadowing of the death panel. Care is being rationed because the government could not fulfill its promise to have a vaccination for every citizen who wants one. Since the vaccine must be rationed the elderly with health problems are the ones who are denied.

The senior citizens in this country are getting a preview of Obamacare. You folks better get busy and let the people who represent you in Congress know to kill this bill.

What will happen when they decide that the elderly should not have costly blood pressure medication, clot busting drugs for myocardial infarction, antineoplastic drugs for cancer treatment, or joint replacement surgery all because of age?

Well, at least Obama will give you a pill instead.

It will probably be a cyanide capsule.

Obama Pulls Granny From The Grave To Defend Health Care

Aug 17, 2009 Political

Back during the campaign we heard about Obama’s grandmother and how she had cancer and received a hip replacement during her final weeks of life. Obama said it made him wonder about the sustainability of a system where someone with little time left above the ground received this kind of care. Basically, Obama said that we should consider denying care to those who are terminally ill. That might have been an appropriate decision in his granny’s case but that is a decision that should be made in concert with a doctor, not a politician or a bureaucrat.

Obama is now using granny as a prop to try and push his health care agenda. Obama is claiming that anyone who suggests that there will be death panels is just wrong and it is hurtful seeing as how he lost his granny not too long ago. Obama thought it was a waste of money for granny to get a hip but that she is valuable enough to the debate for him to raise her from the dead in order to push his health care agenda.

Obama did not care one bit about his grandmother as she lay dying. He barely took time to go see her and he only spent an hour or so of his vacation visiting with her. Yes, Obama the humanitarian did not spend more than an hour with his grandmother after the medical system wasted money on her by replacing her hip. We are supposed to believe him when he says that he has no intention of pulling the plug on granny when he showed little interest in the health of his own grandmother.

Obama is desperate and is invoking his dead granny to bring sympathy to the debate. Demonizing those opposed has not worked. Claiming the protesters are Astro turf plants has not worked. Claiming that the protesters do not represent America has not worked so the only thing left is to raise granny from the dead in an attempt to convince people that the elderly hold a special place in the hearts of the left and will not be coerced into choosing death.

It has been a bad week for Obama and his health care plan. He has dropped the public option, he has decided against death panels and end of life decisions and Sarah Palin used her Facebook account to school Obama and show his true colors.

Raising granny from the dead seems to be about all he has left.

I doubt that will work seeing as how she was nothing more than a typical white person who was thrown under the bus long before she died.

Can’t Top This For Ridiculous

Jul 18, 2009 Political

Juneteenth, a celebration of the news that the slaves had been freed by President Lincoln, (a Republican), is a Texas Holiday, because that’s the date (June 19) that the news first reached Galveston by ship. In reality, the slaves had been freed earlier, but news travels slowly when you do not have “twitter”. Still, this has been a Texas holiday, at least until recently when other states signed on to honor that day. Exactly why they did this is unclear, as the news of freedom probably got to their state at a different time. One might think they would wish to celebrate their own, unique day, but for some, this wasn’t possible.

This wasn’t possible because they weren’t states at the time, and for some, were not even part of the United States territory at that time. Still, they wanted an additional holiday where they could barbeque, and lay around also, hence the adoption of the holiday.

The ONE state where I never thought this holiday would appear was Alaska- sure, it’s a little bigger than Texas, but it has had about as little to do with the War Between the States as, well, Hawaii. In addition, it is about as far from Texas as can possibly be.

Apparently not far enough to keep some people from being miffed about an apparent lack of respect regarding this holiday in Alaska. It seems as if Sarah Palin dissed the Black Community in Alaska (honest- I did not know there was one), by omitting the proclamation of Juneteenth in 2007- kind of behind the times, aren’t we? 

Still, this is all in a day’s “Ethics Complaints” from the left regarding Sarah Palin. This pattern has become ridiculous- Sarah scares the snot out of Liberals, whether she runs or not, they just can’t get her off their minds.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit against Gov. Sarah Palin asked a judge on Friday to declare that she broke state law two years ago when she failed to issue a proclamation for a celebration commemorating the freeing of U.S. slaves.

Plaintiffs also sought a retroactive proclamation for the 2007 Juneteenth celebration from Palin, or — with her July 26 resignation looming — from the governor’s office, said Gregory Charles Royal, a Washington, D.C., musician, who filed the suit in March.

“You just can’t ignore laws,” he said.

The Alaska Legislature had passed a measure directing the governor to issue a proclamation to commemorate Juneteenth, which marks June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Texas and announced the end of slavery. Several other states also officially commemorate Juneteenth.

I still have a problem understanding just why other states should observe what should quite rightly be Texas’ own holiday alone. The only explanation  can see is another day to be lazy. I say, get your own day- we have ours, discover yours. And what’s up with someone from Washington D.C. filing the complaint- this isn’t harassment, is it? Oh, that could never happen, could it? Well, in a word- yes.

 Enough with the phony “ethics complaints” against Sarah Palin- you keep it up, you will generate sympathy for her, and next thing you know, she’s making the laws. Wow- just think; come on, really dwell on that scenario. 

Will the actors and actresses emigrate en masse to France? Will the Liberals commit suicide like Jim Jones followers? Will all the adherents of the New Age lifestyle gather in the desert, waiting for a ride?

One can only hope. Still, the Liberals froth at the mouth over an error two years old- how picayune they are.

Margaret Paton-Walsh, an assistant attorney general, said no deadline was missed because the plaintiffs did not properly serve all the correct state entities initially.

Paton-Walsh also said the proclamation was not issued in 2007 because of a clerical error.

“This slipped through the cracks and it’s my understanding that the governor is going to issue the 2007 proclamation,” she said. “A very big deal is being made out of a very small clerical error.”

Royal said the oversight had a significant impact on a Juneteenth festival in Anchorage that year because it lacked the governor’s recognition, likely discouraging community and vendor involvement.

“As a result of the proclamation not being issued, some suffered financial loss,” he said.

The case originally was filed in Washington in March and was later transferred to the U.S. District Court of Alaska after adding Eagle River resident Kim Chatman as a plaintiff.

Chatman also has filed an ethics complaint against Palin. That complaint, which is among the few still active, alleges Palin is misusing the governor’s office for personal gain by securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through a legal defense fund.

The fund was set up by supporters to help Palin pay off debts stemming from multiple ethics complaints against the governor. Palin said she owes more than $500,000 in legal fees. Most of the complaints have been dismissed.

Apparently this is the true death by a thousand paper cuts- and these are the same  ”enlightened”  people who oppose waterboarding- how unenlightened they are, how hypocritical. If it actually cost anything to file these bogus complaints, there would be far fewer of them.

I propose that if a complaint is dismissed without merit, the person filing the complaint should have to pay ALL court costs and attorney’s fees- perhaps that should slow the flow of these ridiculous suits liberals file. Now THAT would be justice, and justice should win out in this fight.

And give Texas back our holiday- you go get your own.
