Howard Dean on the future of obamacare

Here's an interesting clip of Howard Dean, former Democratic National Committee Chairman and presidential candidate, espousing on the future of Obamacare.  President Obama makes a "clip within a clip" cameo appearance reiterating his empty promise that people can keep their existing health insurance and their doctor.  Period and end of story.




An intrepid reporter asked if the individual mandate was constitutional, he replied he didn't care because the courts would work that out.  His comment that small business would drop private insurance and dump their employees into the state exchanges was revealing of the true nature of obamacare.  Gee whiz, Howard, I seem to recall employers could be fined for not providing health insurance.  I hope it's a small fine if they decide to do that.  Of course, politician that he is, he also failed to answer the individual mandate constitutionality issue.  This tactic must be on page 1 of the democrats obamacare talking points handbook.

the wicked witch of the west speaks again

Quote of the week


“If everyone in America was very, very pleased with his or her health insurance and had no complaints, and had access to quality affordable health care in our country, it still would have been necessary for us to pass the health-care reform bill because we could not sustain the system,”  Nancy Pelosi January 4, 2011.


Counterquotes of the week


"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
-- Mark Twain, 1894


"No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session. "
-- Mark Twain (1866) 


Here is a video of Nancy Pelosi trying to justify the tactics the democrats used to ram Obamacare through Congress.  Enjoy!




Mrs. Pelosi just doesn't get it.  The American people know the costs of health insurance is too high and heading higher.  The American people do not want more government interference in health care.  Obamacare scares Americans because it is a paving stone in the road to socialism.   This is why the democrats lost the house in the 2010 election.

National Security 101

Here's the latest earthshaking news from Obamaville, AKA 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, AKA the White House.

Forget Iran's and North Korea's nuclear arms development, forget Osama Bin Laden and his merry band of suicide bombers, here's the latest threat to USA national security:

Childhood Obesity!! Good Golly Mrs. Michelle, thanks for the warning.  Michelle Obama stated in a press conference before president Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, that military officials stated that 25% of USA young people are too fat to join the military.  This makes obesity a risk to national security?  If fat folks want to join the military, put them in cook school and let them be around food all day.  They will probably get so sick of being around food all day they will probably lose weight and become eligible for other positions.  Our armed forces are overburdened with defense of not only the USA, but bearing the major burden of UN "peacekeeping missions" all over the world.  If we had "fat brigades" that provided humanitarian relief to disaster areas all over the world, maybe their exposure to the misery, suffering and hunger poor people suffer worldwide would curb their own food cravings.

I saw an article about all woman teams in the US Marine Corps.  They were called female engagement teams or FET for short. The USMC thought a FET could make more and faster progress with Afghan women than USMC guys could.  Maybe the Marines should start LEAT (lard arsed engagement teams).  Their mission would be to bond with their fellow fat folks and encourage them to give up killing each other.  This is just the 21st century version of the beat your swords into plowshares.  If people want to grow food, warfare becomes a hindrance and nuisance.  Maybe the love of corned beef and cabbage could help people tolerate their differences and work together for their common good.

Sarah Palin's humorous and interesting twitter post

I just came across a very illuminating and homurous youtube post called "Bar Stool Economics".  I wish more of our politicians could remove their political blinders and realize what soaking the rich for more and more taxes without trying to reduce spending will do.  Rush Limbaugh moved his number one rated radio talk show over this.  New York City started taxing the rich more and he decided to move to Palm Beach, Florida.  I wonder why he didn't do it sooner.  Do you think New York is really glad to get rid of him.  I'm surprised NY has not tried to put some kind of "ex-pat" tax on him and other millionaires who give up the big apple for more of their earnings in their pockets.



 P. S. Click on the text message, the origins of this article go back to 2002 and no one knows for certain who the original author is, except for the original author, of course.

a couple of videos

Here's a couple of videos that poke fun at some of our politicians. It will offset the tragedy at Yeonpyeong the earlier post and whatever other news you see today. If I do not post again, have a safe and grope-free Thanksgiving Day.

Video 2: The return of the (now) 25 foot Pelosi

North Korea attacks South Korean island of Yeonpyeong.

North Korea launched an artillery attack on Yeonpyeong, an island of 1200 people near the North Korean border. South Korea launched 80 rounds of artillery in defense. No motives have been given at this time. The South Korean President announced an investigation into a possible relationship between this attack and North Korean war game exercises started near the border on Monday 2 November, 2010. IMHO, it's time to offer South Korea enough missiles to bomb North Korea's new nuclear enrichment plant back to the stone age, after they sign an acceptable trade agreement.

Actually, the US and South Korea have mutual defense treaties in place. Maybe North Korea is trying to frighten US and South Korea into breaking the treaty. Let's hope this does not worsen and the treaties remain strong.
