Perhaps Calling Democrats “Totalitarians” Gives Totalitarians a Bad Name?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 under Domestic, Healthcare

… In the unlikely event that thinking people need more proof of my previous post that Democrats don’t beleive in Democracy and are, in fact, totalitarians, this just in from the House:

The House Totalitarian “leadership” is weighing a rules change that will allow them to “deem” the Senate bill passed — without a vote in the House.

Ironically enough, this is begin called the “Slaughter” solution. No - not after what it will do to our freedoms, liberties, medical care and economy - but after the Dem Congresswoman who thought it up, Louise Slaughter (D, NY).

No House vote on the Senate bill.[…]

Are Democrats REALLY Totalitarians? REALLY?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 under Domestic, Healthcare, Politics

Many friends and acquaintances accuse me of being over-the-top when I insist on calling the Democrat Party the “Totalitarian Party.” They are certainly entitled to their opinion.

I wonder, however, what they make of this language of The Majority Leaders’ Amendment to current version of Obamacare?

Beginning on page 1,000 of the measure, Section 3403 reads in part:

“… it shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection.”

This is how totalitarians rule. This is not how Americans govern themselves.

If this bill passes and[…]

SCOTUS on Government-Run Healthcare: NOPE

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 under Domestic, Healthcare

Wow.

Turns out that SCOTUS already ruled on this issue, and with a specific cite to the 10th Amendment.

And we KNOW how hard the Statist… I mean Democrat… no - I mean Totalitarian Party INSISTS on never overturning SCOTUS precedent, right?

Here you go, from a WSJ forum post:

This is a tenth amendment issue - ” The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. “

Healthcare is not in the constitution, thus it is for the States to control. The Supreme court agrees[…]

Did You Think Obama was LISTENING Last Week?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 under Domestic, Healthcare

I like the last line of the CNN reporter in this one-minute video clip re: Obama’s face as he pretended - badly pretended- to listen to any voice other than his own.

Canada v. USA in Healthcare - or Why A Province Premier Came to America for Heart Valve Replacement

Thursday, February 25th, 2010 under Domestic, Healthcare

Thursday, February 25, 2010

Danny Williams, the premier of the Canadian province of Newfoundland, traveled to the United States earlier this month to undergo heart valve surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. With his trip, Williams joined a long list of Canadians who have decided that they prefer American medicine to their own country’s government-run health system when their lives are on the line.

But just as American hospitals are becoming popular vacation destinations for about 40,000 Canadians a year, California’s Senate is pressing ahead with its effort to make the[…]

Obama v. Obama on Healthcare

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 under Domestic, Healthcare

From the WSJ today, Best Of The Web:

“The plan I’m announcing tonight would meet three basic goals. It will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance. It will provide insurance for those who don’t. And it will slow the growth of health care costs for our families, our businesses, and our government. . . . Now, add it all up, and the plan I’m proposing will cost around $900 billion over 10 years. . . . Most of these costs will be paid for with money already being spent–but spent badly–in the existing health-care system. The plan will not add[…]

The One, SOTU, Healthcare….

Thursday, January 28th, 2010 under Domestic, Healthcare, Politics, Uncategorized

Many many articles and columns have been written on The Failure of the Messiah to understand what is going on, and the consequences of his seemingly demented demand for something America doesn’t want, and his complete inability to change course. (Leopard, spots, etc.)

Here is one of the best on the real meaning of what’s happened and the toll on his next three years.

Petition Against Obamacare

Friday, December 18th, 2009 under Domestic, Healthcare, Politics

Grassfire Nation is on the very edge of setting a new petition record — ONE MILLION signers opposing ObamaCare.

Please link to this and sign their petition if you want to stop the socialization of our medical system - against the wishes of over 60% of American, the country and citizens Congress is paid to REPRESENT America, not DICTATE TO Americans.

This is from their email:

Imagine the message we will send to Congress on Monday
when we hand-deliver ONE MILLION signatures from seniors
to young people — all standing united in their opposition
of socialized health care.

We are so close — roughly 30,000 petitions shy of
this unprecedented total!

One millon[…]

The “Healthcare” Bill Vote

Thursday, December 17th, 2009 under Domestic, Healthcare, Politics

Did you know that the bill the Senate’s been debating — isn’t even the one on which they’ll be asked to vote?

I guess this is the Democrats’ version of “transparency.”

Completely Reckless, Completely Irresponsible
from the Office of Senator Mitch McConnell

Thursday, December 17, 2009

‘And here’s the most outrageous part: at the end of this rush, they want us to vote on a bill that no one outside the Majority Leader’s conference room has even seen. That’s right. The final bill we’ll vote on isn’t even the one we’ve had on the floor. It’s the deal Democrat leaders have been trying to[…]

How Stupid is Obama? This Stupid

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 under Domestic, Healthcare, Politics

Either he actually believes what I have highlighted below - which means he is stupid beyond hope…

Or he is just lying to the American people - which means he is totalitarian AND stupid beyond hope.

Can’t be anything else:

Obama said Democrats were “on the precipice” of victory, not breakdown.

The president said differences still remain over details but described the bill as an accomplishment for the history books.

The legislation includes “all the criteria that I laid out” in a speech to a joint session of Congress earlier in the year, he said. “It is deficit-neutral. It bends the cost curve. It covers 30[…]
