Obama Was Misleading; Ya Think?
Nov 12, 2013 Obamacare
Representative Kurt Schrader of Oregon said that Barack Obama was grossly misleading on Obamacare according to an article at the Weekly Standard. He further stated that Obama was very misleading on the claim that you could keep your plan if you like it.
Schrader voted for Obamacare and he supports it. He makes it clear that he thinks the problems with the roll out will be fixed and that those problems will be way in the past.
I think he means that they will be in the past when Election Day comes next year. Many Democrats are hoping that Obamacare can get its feet on solid ground and the problems lessened or solved early on so that they have plenty of time to recover before the 2014 election. You see, the reality is that they do not care how it affects people they only care how it affects their ability to remain in office.
Conservatives warned that these problems would happen. There were plenty of warnings that Obama was not telling the truth about keeping plans. There were plenty of warnings that the plans under Obamacare would cost a lot more than plans people already had. There were plenty of warnings but Obama and his toadies said Republicans were trying to scare people.
Many conservative radio and TV hosts warned that these things would happen.
Now you know why Obama told people they should not listen to talk radio or watch FOX News. If they had they would have been informed about what was taking place.
And let’s face it, the last thing a Democrat/Socialist/Progressive needs is an informed electorate.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Live From NBC Its…Irony
May 7, 2012 Political
Remember when Saturday Night Live used to be relevant? Remember when the “Not ready for prime time players” took shots at anyone regardless of who they were or their political affiliation? Remember when they took issue with Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and GW. Bush?
SNL used to be funny and it used to parody all regardless of who they were. Make no mistake, it has always been filled with left wing liberal types (with a few exceptions) who worship at the altar of liberal orthodoxy but at least they had fun at the expense of everyone regardless of political affiliation.
Those days seem to be well behind us as NBC bows down to the messiah Obama.
This past weekend SNL scrapped a skit that poked fun at Obama for his politicizing the one year anniversary of the death of Bin Laden. The skit parodied Obama as taking credit for the kill (in reality he did little and certainly not as much as he takes credit for) and elaborated the recent trip Obama took to Afghanistan to use our troops as a photo op while marking the anniversary.
But NBC decided to scrap the skit and instead use a skit that mocked FOX News. Yes, SNL had a skit that mocked the show “Fox and Friends” personalities as clueless partisans.
Isn’t it ironic that SNL would air a skit mocking a FOX show as containing clueless partisans in order to replace a skit that mocked Obama?
In other words, by replacing the skit on Obama SNL and NBC demonstrated that it is the show with clueless partisans.
I wonder if they were even bright enough to note the irony…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

We Are All Perceived As Security Threats
Oct 22, 2010 Political
The uproar over the firing of Juan Williams by NPR continues as more people from both sides of the political spectrum weigh in, in favor of the pundit. While there are extreme views on both sides, the common theme is that NPR was looking for a reason to fire Williams and this was the opening. Other people at NPR had made inflammatory statements in the past and they still work there so this cannot be the sole reason he was dismissed.
Williams was fired about 36 hours after his statements on the FOX News channel and came after pressure from the Muslim group CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) which started a campaign to address the issue. CAIR is a group that claims to be for American Islamic relations but has been tied to terrorist organizations and generally works to impose Muslim views on America. Since it is unlikely anyone from NPR knew what Williams said (how many of them watch FOX) the pressure from CAIR was more than likely what drew attention to it and caused the dismissal. CAIR’s initial response was:
‘NPR should address the fact that one of its news analysts seems to believe that all airline passengers who are perceived to be Muslim can legitimately be viewed as security threats,’ CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said. Daily Mail UK
This might come as a shock to Nihad Awad but Muslims are viewed as a security threat as are all other people who choose to fly. Everyone MUST go through security at the airport and be screened because we are all viewed as a security threat.
One would think that we are no longer viewed as threats once we are screened but this is not the case. People and their possessions are subject to search at any time once past the security checkpoint. There have been too many incidents of attempted terrorist attacks on aircraft by people who successfully made it through security to believe that once people have been screened, we are safe.
Since a huge number of those attempted attacks have been by Muslims it is not unjustified or bigoted for Muslims in full garb (which announces they are Muslims) to be viewed as a security threat.
If little old blue haired ladies were attempting or threatening to blow up planes on a regular basis then Juan Williams would be apprehensive when he saw little old blue haired ladies on his flight.
The difference is, he would not be fired for expressing that feeling and the rest of the liberal echo chamber would agree with him.
How many acts of violence have Tea Party members initiated? None, but they are viewed as dangerous by the left wing in this country and they are routinely disparaged. No one has been fired for calling them names, saying they were dangerous or calling them radical.
But let someone express how he feels with regard to the people from whom most of the terrorists have come and he is fired.
So Nihad Awad orchestrated a campaign to get Williams fired and NPR complied because it helped with what they and George Soros wanted anyway.
But none of this takes away from the fact that Williams was correct in what he said and that what he said was not bigoted. It just helped Soros push his agenda and it allowed CAIR to claim victim status once again.
All of us who fly are considered security threats and that includes the Muslims who are up in arms at the very insinuation.
I think this incident will cause the government to cut funding to NPR. But what about donations? Do you think they will go up or down? Williams might get the last laugh…
And those who travel by air will still maintain vigilance when flying especially on planes with Muslims in full garb.

Howard Dean Continues Democrat Playbook On Racism
Jul 25, 2010 Political
The playbook for the left is to scream racism and to scream it loud and often. The left has no other game. Its policies have failed, it has pushed an agenda on the American people that is different than that on which they campaigned and that a majority in this country opposes. That does not bother them but now that the elections are rapidly approaching they need a tactic, a diversion. And they havoe found it.
We know that the people on the JournoList had a plan to pick a target conservative and call him racist. In true Alinsky fashion, select the target, isolate the target and attack the target. We also know that screaming racism, including NAALCP resolutions about racism, are nothing more than lies designed to stir up minorities.
Mary Frances Berry admitted that the tactic was to call the TEA Party members racist even though there is NO EVIDENCE that they are any more racist than anyone else. And she said the tactic is working.
So it should come as no surprise that Howard Dean is screaming racism. He is calling the Republican party racist and he is saying that FOX News is racist for spreading lies about Shirley Sherrod. Dean is totally ignoring the fact that FOX did not air the video or discuss the story on TV until well after Sherrod was fired and that the website did not post the video until after Sherrod was fired. FOX News claims the video was not up at its website until after Sherrod was fired.
I have seen the website from the day in question and the video was up but my friend Adam explained how that could happen. News websites update frequently and sometimes the same story is updated several times. FOX posted the story about the video but did not, according to them, post the video until after Sherrod was fired. No one can prove it was up before then (and Adam explained how it could be up now and dated then) so we will take FOX at its word.
The thing that is important to note is that Dean never once stopped to consider the facts in the matter. He dismissed the truth about FOX NOT discussing the story until after Sherrod was fired. His comeback was that it was going to be on Glenn Beck. Dean has absolutely no way of knowing if that was going to be on Beck or not. And even if it was (it was not as Beck did not mention it on TV) what difference could it possibly make? If Barack Obama fired Shirley Sherrod because he was worried that the story was going to be on Glenn Beck’s program then there is a real issue at the White House.
The fear of Beck tells me that Beck has been getting most things he discusses correct and it bothers the regime. They have never called to refute anything that Beck has said. They have never corrected anything he has said and they spend much of their time saying FOX is not real news and no one should pay attention to the network or fear mongers like Beck.
If Beck is of no concern then why worry about whether a story was going to be on his show? Because he is right as he was this time. He did not mention it until the next day and he took Sherrod’s side in the issue. He discussed it on his radio program but I have not heard the entire clip so I do not know what was said. In any event, the White House was worried about Beck’s TV program. Sherrod confirmed that and so did Howard Dean.
Here is the real issue. Howard Dean is using the game plan that was spelled out by JournoList and Mary Frances Berry. He is calling the Republicans and FOX News racist because they are trying to get that accusation to stick. They want to keep saying it until people believe it. They are lying about racism for political gain. Before it was the NAALCP and now it is a failed candidate named Howard Dean.
The Democrats can be counted on for three reflexive actions. Number one they will reflexively blame George W. Bush for all the ills in the world. Number two, they will cry racism no matter what and they will continue to scream it. They do this not because it is some rampant problem but because they think hurling false accusations is proper even with something as sensitive as racism. And three, they will all reflexively blame FOX News Channel for the bad things in the world even in the face of irrefutable evidence to the contrary.
And of course, we can always count on Howard Dean to have a stupid moment.
YEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA…

They’ll Say Anything To Go After FOX
Jan 27, 2010 Political
The Alinksy radicals in the White House have worked hard to marginalize FOX News. The Whote House picked a fight with FOX and declared it was not a real news organization. In a piece at Salon, former Obama economic adviser Robert Reich wrote:
In December 1994, Bill Clinton proposed a so-called middle-class bill of rights including more tax credits for families with children, expanded retirement accounts, and tax-deductible college tuition. Clinton had lost his battle for healthcare reform. Even worse, by that time the Dems had lost the House and Senate. Washington was riding a huge anti-incumbent wave. Right-wing populists were the ascendancy, with Newt Gingrich and Fox News leading the charge. Bill Clinton thought it desperately important to assure Americans he was on their side. Big Journalism
The problem with this statement is that FOX News did not exist in 1994.
The radicals will do and say anything to marginalize those seen as the enemy to their agenda. But FOX has the last laugh:
CABLE NEWS RACE
TUES., JAN., 26, 2010
FOXNEWS O’REILLY 3,581,000
FOXNEWS BECK 3,196,000
FOXNEWS HANNITY 3,133,000
FOXNEWS BAIER 2,624,000
FOXNEWS GRETA 2,415,000
FOXNEWS SHEP 2,187,000

CNNHN GRACE 914,000
MSNBC OLBERMANN 818,000
CNN KING 796,000
MSNBC MADDOW 726,000
That, as they say, is a good old fashioned ass whoopin’
