» "Better" Health Care?

In England, health care is "free" -- as long as you don't mind waiting. People wait so long for dentist appointments that some pull their own teeth.

More than a million and a half Canadians say they can't find a family doctor. Some towns hold lotteries to determine who gets a doctor.

Canada and England don't pay the price because they freeload off American innovation. If America adopted their systems, we could worry less about paying for health care, but we'd get 2009-level care -- forever. Government monopolies don't innovate. Profit seekers do.

We saw this in Canada, where we did find one area of medicine that offers easy access to cutting-edge technology -- CT scan, endoscopy, thoracoscopy, laparoscopy, etc. It was open 24/7. Patients didn't have to wait.

But you have to bark or meow to get that kind of treatment. Animal care is the one area of medicine that hasn't been taken over by the government. Dogs can get a CT scan in one day. For people, the waiting list is a month.

Government-run health care, like raw Communism, is something that American leftists know has never worked ... ever ... anywhere. Yet they are positive that it's a good thing, that just hasn't been done right yet.
Dhimmicrats think they can do Communism and make it work.

Wondering who's behind all of these Obamacare ads?

» No climate debate? Yes, there is

Hush, says Obama. Don’t ask questions. “There is no longer a debate about whether carbon pollution is placing our planet in jeopardy,’’ he declared Saturday. “It’s happening.’’

For non-experts, a steadily-widening shelf of excellent books surveys the data in laymen’s terms and exposes the weaknesses in the doomsday scenario - among others, “Climate Confusion’’ by Roy W. Spencer, “Climate of Fear’’ by Thomas Gale Moore, “Taken by Storm’’ by Christopher Essex and Ross McKitrick, and “Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years’’ by S. Fred Singer and Dennis Avery.

From light bulb laws to world hunger, what’s not to like about Cap&Trade?

Some are calling C&T “dead in the water,” but Michelle Malkin tells us to gird our loins because this monster will take some killing. If we don’t call our senators the dead thing in the water will be us.

Liberal Fascism: A Second Scientist Silenced by Global Warming Alarmists

I am so sick of these power-hungry bureaucrats who are on the verge of passing one of the most destructive bills in U.S. history based

When the EPA and environ-mental-ist fellow travelers (including our own president!) call CO2 a pollutant, they are full of crap.

When Barack Obama declares that “the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over,” he is full of crap.

When Barack Obama tells us the C(r)ap and Trade bill will benefit the U.S. economy and save jobs, he is full of crap.

When Al Gore says “The science is settled,” he is full of crap.

When the loathsome Henry Waxman (D-CA) says that “the consensus is overwhelming,” he is full of crap.

(While we’re on the topic, Waxman is also full of crap when he calls the opposition to the bill by most Republicans “playing politics” and “rooting against the country and … against the world.” This guy couldn’t support one thing that was trying to be achieved by the Bush administration for the good of the country and/or the world, from tax cuts to the War on Terror. Calling this guy a disgrace would be too kind.)

And when anyone says “The debate is over,” it’s only because they have covered their ears, shut out anybody with evidence contradictory to their own radical ideology, and declared it to be over.

Since Dave Jr.. has been injured he has met and been overwhelmed by many, many political and military "celebs". The list includes Bob Gates, Sec. of Defense, who came into his room and told him 3 or 4 times that if Dave Jr. had any issues to call his cell phone number. It includes Gen. Petereus who sat and talked with Dave Jr. for almost 45 minutes. The General recalled vividly all of the circumstances around the events that led to fighting that Dave was involved in. It includes Sen. McCain who arrived late on a Saturday afternoon during a thunder storm, unannounced, and talked to Dave Jr. about how similar their experiences with fate. It includes George Bush when Dave Jr. was invited to attend the very last Christmas party at the White House for the White House Staff. President Bush and his wife entered the ballroom and immediately went to Dave Jr.. President Bush knew Dave Jr.'s name as well as when and how he was injured. Dave Jr. had a picture taken with Laura and the President that
he has framed and will cherish forever. The list goes on and on of people coming in to meet Dave Jr. and the other wounded warriors at Walter Reed and Bethesda .

Yesterday. Dave Jr. was ordered to be at the National Naval Hospital with another 12 soldiers and Marines to meet with Obama. Obama was supposed to arrive at 11:30 AM. He finally got there at 3:00 PM. He entered the room with the wounded warriors and quickly shook each of their hands. He never
asked their names, where they were from, or how they were injured. Then he left.

Dave Jr. has met the people who really care about the military. All he remembers from Obama is a weak handshake. The others in the room, younger and less exposed to the people that Dave Jr. ha s met, were so disappointed. Word about Obama's "insensitive" visit has spread to the ATC ( the rehab facility) at Walter Reed and throughout Bethesda . The military sees through his phoniness.

All I can say is that it is such a dissappointment that this man is Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces. He is an embarrasment to our Nation.

Regards,
Dave

House Democrats Trade Billions in Taxpayer-Financed Handouts to Buy Votes for Pelosi's Energy Tax

So how did Speaker Pelosi cajole her fellow Democrats into voting for what House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) described as “the most profound piece of legislation that has come to the floor of this House in the last 100 years”? With a combination of special-interest handouts, pet projects, and special exemptions for certain Democratic House Members – all financed on the taxpayers’ dime.

From Gathering of Eagles National:

Turning on your Brothers and Sisters
Since the inception of GoE there have been several groups that we have openly confronted at every rally or counter rally. IVAW and VFP are two of them. These groups claim to be comprised of Veterans. But again and again members of IVAW, top members, are discovered to be frauds, never having served in the military. Some of them served, but contrary to their own claims, never deployed. Of those that did deploy, there is a signifcant amount of them that are "other than honorable" discharges and AWOL. VFP has claim to the infamous "hanoi john kerry". These groups of "veterans", along with Vets for Common Sense, have once again proven what they stand for, and it's NOT protection of our men and women in service.
While thousands still remain deployed in either Iraq or Afghanistan as well as other less than friendly duty posts, these groups feel that releasing pictures of supposed "torture" of detainees would somehow "safe guard national security". They are asking Veterans to sign their letter to the President. I've included the press release so as not to give them the site hits. Please call your local VFW, AL, and any other Veterans associations you may be involved with and ask them to warn their members of this treasonous request.

» The Climate Change Climate Change
The number of skeptics is swelling everywhere

Among the many reasons President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority are so intent on quickly jamming a cap-and-trade system through Congress is because the global warming tide is again shifting. It turns out Al Gore and the United Nations (with an assist from the media), did a little too vociferous a job smearing anyone who disagreed with them as "deniers." The backlash has brought the scientific debate roaring back to life in Australia, Europe, Japan and even, if less reported, the U.S.

The collapse of the "consensus" has been driven by reality. The inconvenient truth is that the earth's temperatures have flat-lined since 2001, despite growing concentrations of C02.

The number of skeptics, far from shrinking, is swelling. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe now counts more than 700 scientists who disagree with the U.N. -- 13 times the number who authored the U.N.'s 2007 climate summary for policymakers. Joanne Simpson, the world's first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year that she was finally free to speak "frankly" of her nonbelief. Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming "the worst scientific scandal in history." Norway's Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the "new religion." A group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton's Will Happer, is demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that the science is settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have refused to run the physicists' open letter.)

Skeptics? I want to be more specific. I'm not a skeptic, Man Made Climate Change is a load of Bull Pelosi. This Democrat congress and administration intend to use it as an (lame) excuse to pass the single largest tax increase in the history of America.

» Obama’s Census to castrate American Caucasians
Obama's new 2010 Census form will be asking you to answer questions ranging from how much money you make through whether you have indoor plumbing to whether your belly button is innie or outtie.

There's only one question they should ask: How many Americans live in your house? Period.

Note the questions not asked:

It doesn’t ask if you are a citizen of the U.S.A., if you are an immigrant, or if you are a Muslim.

And read carefully the list of organizations being partnered to assist in the census taking.

... not one of which represents the despised race of whites who settled this country

~~ via Unky George Samek ~~

Today, the controlling law for the U.S. Census is Title 13 of the U.S. Code. There is a lot of census data collected in the United States today, such as economic figures, sales and production figures, and agricultural statistics. Still, the head count is the only part of the census that is called for by the Constitution. The code for the enumeration can be found in 13 USC 141. In this code, the census is directed to be taken in 1980 and every ten years thereafter, and that the count is to be taken on April 1. The returns must be completed within nine months for use in apportionment of representatives. The code also specifies a mid-decade census be taken in 1985 and every ten years thereafter. This count need not be a head count (sampling may be used) though the data cannot be used for apportionment.

Symbolic of the Left's struggle against reality.

» THEY'RE JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU, OBAMA

Like a teenage girl shamelessly pursuing a boy who could care less about her--or, for that matter, like any primitive shame culture--the left continually pretends that if they don't notice reality, it will go away.

House #1
A 20 room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400 per month. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern 'snow belt' area. It's in the South.

House #2
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every 'green' feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground.

The water (usually 67 degrees F) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee
It is the home of the 'Environmentalist' Al Gore

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas
It is the residence of former President of the United States, GEORGE W. Bush

An 'inconvenient truth.'

» When did the lowbrows take over the culture?

No sane and sensible taxpayer could possibly believe that spending trillions and trillions of dollars on blue-sky fantasies makes any sense at all; the only reason Americans aren't in open rebellion yet is that half of them can't believe it's happening, and the other half are idiots.

...look at the global warming farce, still hotly pursued by the political classes in Europe and this country, although the Australians seem to be coming to their senses. China now has more millionaires than the UK, because they use all their resources, like coal, to fire their industrial plants. They will never sacrifice a single luxury car to the cap and trade fraud. Neither will India. China and India have been under the thumb of egomaniacal socialists (in the case of India) and communists (in the case of China). They've been there, done that, seen the suffering.

Obama himself is smart enough; even smart enough to say a few years ago that he didn't feel ready for the presidency. Well, now we can see why he said that.

That should be enough excerpts for you to realize you really need to go read the whole thing.

» Coup averted in Honduras, legitimate government upheld

Take a moment to ponder, if you will, the “no meddling” policy in Iran, our outright interference in Israel’s affairs (to the detriment of her security), and this speedy condemnation of the legitimate Honduran government dealing quickly with a would-be despot. It shouldn’t take you more than about ten seconds to realize exactly who and what Obama is — by his reflexive support for Leftists and tyrants, and his opposition to free, open, democratic nations. Anyone failing to recognize Obama’s own despotic tendencies after such an easy lesson is simply too obtuse to bother with.

» Obama And The Honduras Shuffle

To give you an idea of how far to the Left the Obama Administration is, we have the amazing spectacle of this Presdent and his Secretary of State gnashing their teeth and making common cause with Venezuala's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Castro in their disapproval and anger over the removal of a Communist Latin American dictator!

So this 'coup' was performed by the Supreme court, the Congress, the Attorney general and pretty much every branch of the Honduran government!

So what was Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's response to this? Do you even have to wonder?

Obama called the so-called 'coup' illegal and "a terrible precedent."

Isn't that just lovely? North Korean nukes? No comment.Iran butchers its citizens in the streets and foments Islamist terrorism world wide? Hey, we still want to extend that outstretched hand and the Mullahs have the right to nukes too, no? Syria murders political opponents, gets caught with an illegal North Korean reactor and supports and finances Hezbollah? Let's just restore full diplomatic relations and not quibble about little things like that.

But Honduras legally ousting a leftist would be dictator? Now that's crossing the red line!

» Banana Democrats

Americas: During his campaign, President Obama made a big deal of criticizing leaders who are elected democratically but don't govern democratically. He's had a chance to show that it mattered in Honduras. He didn't.

» Republicans in the Wilderness

Just two nuclear bombs were enough to get Japan to surrender in World War II. It is hard to believe that it would take much more than that for the United States of America to surrender--especially with people in control of both the White House and the Congress who were for turning tail and running in Iraq just a couple of years ago.

Ronald Reagan won two elections in a landslide by being Ronald Reagan--and, most important of all--explaining to a broad electorate how what he advocated would be best for them and for the country. Newt Gingrich likewise led a Republican takeover of the House of Representatives by explaining how the Republican agenda would benefit a wide range of people.

Neither of them won by pretending to be Democrats. It is the mushy "moderates"-- the "kinder and gentler" Bush 41, Bob Dole and John McCain-- who lost disastrously, even in two cases to Democrats who were initially very little known, but who knew how to talk.

Remember that Obama himself said that cap and trade would probably bankrupt the coal industry. Also remember that coal is the cheapest form of electricity available, and provides roughly 51% of the power for our national power grid. If coal goes bankrupt, or becomes significantly more expensive, that expense will be passed on to you.

The reviews of “The Stoning of Soraya M.", a movie that tells the true story of a woman being stoned to death in fundamentalist Iran, are in... and the [leftist, dhimmi]critics seem to have a common complaint, that the movie is just too outraged by the whole stoning business.

All this call for nuance, for an understated stoning, was absent when it came to the shrillest anti-war movies and documentaries. Which was par for the course when it came to lambasting the Bush Administration. But when it comes to “The Stoning of Soraya M.", it's suddenly a time for nuance, for subtlety, for being broadminded and sophisticated about it. It's not a time to be blunt about what happens to women like her under Islamic law.

If “The Stoning of Soraya M." can remind morally deadened progressives of the blunt reality of the "practice" they would rather deftly finesse, so much the better.

» NY Times Buries Important Detail In Promoting Another Law Limiting Second Amendment Rights

At first it seems like a common sense proposal -- those on the federal government's terrorist watch list should not be allowed to buy or possess firearms.

But

Remember -- only a few weeks ago the Department of Homeland Security issued a report that classified veterans and holders of conservative political opinions as potential terrorists. Only a few days ago it was disclosed that the pentagon has classified political protests as a form of terrorism. In the hands of a regime hostile to gun rights (such as, for example, the current one), it would not be at all difficult to vastly expand the terrorist watch list to include all sorts of innocent American patriots who have done nothing more than exercise their First Amendment rights to express mainstream political opinions.

You meet some of best people at right-wing events.
