Obama: Lord of the Flies

Alan Grayson ~ A.K.A: Piggy

The mafia were in the business of keeping people scared to speak out or question their actions.  Those places were Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Boston, Cleveland and large cities all over the country.  I don’t know if this is what changed these people to go along to get along with Obama and became liberals.  I don’t know if not speaking out against the mafia made them afraid to speak out against Obama – clearly bad politics for the country we have known and loved.  If that is so, it is very sad and takes away some hope for the country’s future.  Unless and until they wake up, they are placing the country in jeopardy each and every day.  They should realize this will harm their children, grandchildren, and future generations.  The reporting on this by Fox News apparently made the White House mad, the White House striking out at Fox, at insurance companies, the Chamber of Commerce, and anyone who had the audacity to question their actions.

Joe Wilson called Obama a liar and he had plenty of actions by Obama before and after his election to verify this.  Anyone who says Obama’s actions are not lies is living in a dream world.  Obama says no abortions are to be funded in the health reform bill…  a lie; Obama says illegals will not get benefits from the bill…. he lies; Obama said every bill would be posted for five days for everyone to read… another lie; Obama said his administration would be non-partisan – no Republicans were even allowed in the room where this health care reform bill was being negotiated… he LIED.

Obama has an agenda and it is not the same agenda freedom loving citizens in this country have.  His appearing at the place where fallen heroes are returned to their country for burial, for a PR action, and not sending the troops the General in Afghanistan asked for is placing those already there in greater danger.  Woudn’t it follow that Obama would praise Alan Grayson, especially with his evil, slimy mouth?  I think I have figured out why Grayson has this problem… there is no doubt that the children in grade school taunted him and called him “PIGGY”.  By the time he entered high school, most of those students had read Lord of the Flies and shunned him completely.  That is the reason he craves being noticed so.  Just take one look at his photo, think of a pig, and you will see what I mean.

Cash for Clunkers – reminds me of this administration.  We now have a clunker White House and a clunker Democratic Congress.

The Obama administration says that the stimulus made or saved 660,000 jobs… take that figure with a grain of salt!  This country should be more like the Little Red Hen and save and do away with the deficit and make more bread, not giving the bread away to the happy little grasshoppers, or I should say the me generation – gimme, gimme, gimme – people like the lady who said “When Obama is elected, I won’t have to pay my house payment anymore!” and other things she said that Obama was going to give her.  I must say he is trying, at a detriment to the country.

For all of you old folk who love to live – the death panel remains in the health reform bill – and they call Palin CRAZY for pointing it out.  There are two articles following for all of your patriots:

Pelosi Health Care Bill Blows a Kiss to Trial Lawyers

Posted By Capitol Confidential On October 30, 2009 @ 12:17 pm In Congress, Healthcare | 306 Comments

The health care bill recently unveiled by Speaker Nancy Pelosi is over 1,900 pages for a reason. It is much easier to dispense goodies to favored interest groups if they are surrounded by a lot of legislative legalese. For example, check out this juicy morsel to the trial lawyers (page 1431-1433 of the bill):

Section 2531, entitled “Medical Liability Alternatives,” establishes an incentive program for states to adopt and implement alternatives to medical liability litigation. [But]…… a state is not eligible for the incentive payments if that state puts a law on the books that limits attorneys’ fees or imposes caps on damages.

So, you can’t try to seek alternatives to lawsuits if you’ve actually done something to implement alternatives to lawsuits. Brilliant! The trial lawyers must be very happy today!

While there is debate over the details, it is clear that medical malpractive lawsuits have some impact on driving health care costs higher. There are likely a number of procedures that are done simply as a defense against future possible litigation. Recall this from the Washington Post ^[1]:

“Lawmakers could save as much as $54 billion over the next decade by imposing an array of new limits on medical malpractice lawsuits, congressional budget analysts said today — a substantial sum that could help cover the cost of President Obama’s overhaul of the nation’s health system. New research shows that legal reforms would not only lower malpractice insurance premiums for medical providers, but would also spur providers to save money by ordering fewer tests and procedures aimed primarily at defending their decisions in court, Douglas Elmendorf, director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, wrote in a letter to Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).”

New York 23: When a Nation Calls

Posted By Bill Hennessy On October 30, 2009 @ 5:57 am In Featured Story, Politics, Tea Party | 105 Comments

The Tea Party movement has been quiet since the September 12 massive rallies in Washington, Quincy, Dallas, and elsewhere.  Paul Krugman ^[1] was so bold as to write on October 26, “the tea baggers have come and gone.”  On the same day, CBS News blogger Charles Cooper asked rhetorically, “Did the Tea Partiers Party Too Soon? ^[2]”  The message from the White House talking points memo was clear:  that annoying fit of folksy patriotic crap is over, and we in the political class can get back to the business of tyranny.

Shifting Forms

While the Washington literati sipped Fair Trade coffee, the Tea Partiers shifted form, as they have many times before.  In February, it was the angry mob telling government, “no more bailouts.”  Government continued bailing out its favored corporate lackeys, and the angry mob morphed into a massive movement with 1.2 million people protesting government growth on Tax Day.

With quiet parties on July 4, the Tea Party’s Divisions split into Companies or Platoons and deployed into Congressional Town Halls.  Beginning with Missouri Congressman Russ Carnahan’s ^[3] embarrassingly funny gaff-fest on July 21, the Tea Party folks weathered the SEIU thugs’ fists, the White House’s violent rhetoric ^[4], and Nancy Pelosi’s base taunts. With Gadsen flags and chattering teeth, they stormed Congressional Offices in August and delayed the Washington healthcare takeover by at least 3 months.  But the morphing continued.

On September 1, Tea Party Nation struck back against a hard left boycott of Whole Foods Market. Instead of signs, megaphones, and chants, this protest was a “buy-cott.”  In dozens of cities, Tea Partiers lined up to shop at Whole Foods, confounding the left, overwhelming the boycott, and gaining press from the like of Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show.”  The left was flustered.

Ready to Rumble

While Krugman and CBS continue to look for the Tea Party marching over the hill, the partiers have hunkered down for the indoor season.  With the fury of Feburary 27, the numbers of Tax Days, and the passion of 9/12, this conservative grassroots army is focused on upstate New York and the race between a Conservative Party candidate, Doug Hoffman and his two left-wing rivals.

This battle pits the people of the Tea Party against both major parties in a fight for the nation’s future.  The Republicans have pulled out all the stops for far-left candidate Dede Scozzafava who was selected by 11 GOPers in a pizza parlor to fill Republican John McHugh’s unexpired term.  (McHugh accepted the President’s offer to serve as Secretary of the Army.)  Newt Gingrich has thrown in with Scozzafava, along with the RNC and the National Republican Congressional Committee.

But the Tea Partiers are not alone this time.  Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson, Rick Santorum, Dick Armey, Tim Pawlenty, Rick Perry and a host of nationally prominent Republicans have endorsed Hoffman.  A growing wave of Republican office holders are jumping on the Hoffman bandwagon. Others, like Russ Carnahan’s likely Republican opponent, Ed Martin Jr., have directly challenged their own party leaders for their lapse in judgement in selecting a candidate who’s won the support of Planned Parenthood, the NEA, Daily Kos, and ACORN.

Tea Party Unity

Before the polls open in upper New York on Tuesday morning, thousands of Tea Partiers from states as far away as California will have had an impact on what might otherwise have been an unnoticed special election.  Local Tea Party Organizers across the country are overwhelmed by their people’s desire to help. Hoffman’s offices are overwhelmed with volunteers who are just showing up. (Anyone wishing to help from their own home can go here ^[5].)

On Tuesday evening, another rogue candidate for Congress, this one from Colorado, spoke to a 9-12 Project leader whose working tireless on the ground in his home district in New York.

“Can you get someone to the airport to pick me up?” asked the man from Colorado.

“I guess.  Why?”

“I’m coming in to do whatever you need.”

100,000 Calls

That one Colorado man epitomizes the thousands of Tea Party and 9-12 Project activists who have demanded action to support Doug Hoffman and other “rogue” candidates.  They demand that more qualified, strong candidates emerge from the movement, and fewer “getalong” RINOs from the Republican Party.

Those patriots will soon conduct perhaps the strongest get-out-the-vote campaign ever targeted on a single Congressional election.  Imagine a thousand people from a dozen states calling “friends” in a single Congressional district a continent away to say, “we love our country; we know you do too; please vote for Doug Hoffman for us; we’ll return the favor for you as soon as we possibly can.”

It’s as if God has given Tea Partiers the lever that controls the course of the sun.  If they all pull together, they make it Morning in America.

From the ice and snow of the first gatherings last February, to the tidal wave of electoral assistance this week, that “whatever you need” attitude identifies this movement and its members.  And that “whatever it takes” attitude is why Krugman and the White House are so eager for the Tea Party to just come and go.
