Democrats Prepared To Sell Americans Out

September 9, 2009

Digby on a health insurance mandate….
Any plan that forces the uninsured to pay their hard earned money to wealthy private insurance companies under penalty of law is a huge political risk. These are the same companies that have brought us to this place where people are routinely denied the care they were promised, lied [...]

Media Helps Anti-Worker Cause

September 7, 2009

If the cost of health care continues to rise in America, who will it hurt the most?
It won't be the wealthy, they will be able to continue to afford medical coverage, because…they're rich.
It won't be the poorest or the seniors. Medicaid and Medicare will still cover those two most vulnerable groups.
That leaves the rest [...]

Message To Obama: "Don't Talk To Our Kids"

September 4, 2009

Crazy sh*t…. The extremists among conservatives in America are pegging the radical meter by threatening to take their kids out of public school the day President Obama is scheduled to speak via teevee to all school children. Obama, say the extremists, is seeking to indoctrinate students with……well…I have no idea…but it's scary and sneaky.
On September [...]

WingnutStock 2009

September 1, 2009

It could be called the Summer of Insanity. But that's too harsh, isn't it? Too shrill. Rather than refer to the brave, thoughtful and calmly-expressed, yet steroidally-enhanced, patriotism we've been witnessing this summer over the many Democratic proposals to kill our grandparents and turn all of us into socialist Obamabots with a strong desire to [...]

Reviewing The Rage, Part 2

August 30, 2009

On August 12, I wrote this….
The "rage" is not over government spending….or tax rates…..or deficits….or any of the flimsy excuses laid down by oh-so-serious conservatives and libertarians.
The rage, the passion has been caused by the man, now the president, Barack Obama. He is a black man. He is a Democrat. And that's what the bust-ups [...]

Obama To Cut Off Penises

August 26, 2009

I didn't see any provisions in the numerous versions of Congress' health care reform bills which stated that one of President Obama's ultimate health reform goals was to take the penises of all American males.
The most respected and feared leader of movement conservatism today, exposes the ugly and turgidly shocking plan…..

Just because I didn't [...]

Dangerous National Threat

August 19, 2009

Much has been said about the young black man outside of an Arizona health care reform town hall. The one who had an AR-15 semi-automatic assault weapon strapped to his back.
Some rather imaginative conservatives have suggested that the assault weapon toter was an Obama plant. The man was black and Obama is black, so, [...]

The Right To Intimidate With Guns

August 18, 2009

From the AP….
About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday – the latest incident in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near the president.
These Timothy McVeigh wannabes are kind of like vampires. Vampires only [...]

We Are So Screwed

August 16, 2009

On June 15th, The Reverend wrote this…
"As I have blogged previously, I firmly believe that any health care reform coming out of Washington, inevitably, will exclude a public option and, most likely, will tax employer-provided health care benefits as well. Love to be wrong about that."
Two months and a hundred swastikas later….
Senator Kent Conrad [...]
