In case you’re wondering why support for liberal democrats is high among the unemployed, unambitious, dope-smoking hippy leeches in our country…

Wonder no more…

Nancy Pelosi admits publicly that Obamacare wasn’t about making health insurance more portable and affordable for hard-working Americans, but rather making it available to those who would rather stay home all day eating cheetos and watching Oprah while sponging off the rest of us, under the guise of “being an artist”…


Transcript:

We see it as an entrepreneurial bill, a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.

Maybe it’s time I launched my ever-elusive X-box career now…

Representation Without Taxation
April 13th, 2010 6:44 am

There really are two Americas… the one that works hard, pays the taxes and demands fiscal responsibility of its representatives… the other sits back and mooches off the other.

It’s no coincidence, then, that while 47% of U.S. households pay NO federal income taxes at all, 45% feel like their tax burden is “about right”. Of course they think it’s “about right”…in fact, the bottom 40 percent, on average, make a profit from the federal income tax, meaning they get more money in tax credits than they would otherwise owe in taxes. For those people, the government sends them a payment. While the other 53% foot the bill.

It’s also no surprise how the two Americas come down on the massive new entitlement program called Obamacare… 58% favor repealing it, while 38% think it’s “about right”.

There’s been an old quote widely circulated on the Internet over the years that sums this phenomenon up pretty well.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

Democrats are champions of the freeloaders. Unfortunately for them, they’re running out of our money. Fortunately for us, they’re also running out of time.

What Would Reagan Think?
March 22nd, 2010 3:13 am

I couldn’t help but think, as I watched C-SPAN throughout the day Sunday, “If Ronald Reagan were alive today, what would he say to the American people about the actions of the D-baggers on Capitol Hill?” Then I remembered I needn’t wonder… for in 1961, Reagan told America what he thought of this health insurance bill disaster:

Timeless wisdom from a great leader. America sure needs a man like him again… now, more than ever.

Obamacare’s Magic Math
March 17th, 2010 5:14 am

The Left ridiculed Bush, calling him an idiot… then they turn around and worship a man who thinks there are 57 states in the U.S., that the treatment for asthma is a breathalyzer, says he sees dead veterans in the audience during Memorial Day ceremonies, claimed tornadoes in Kansas killed 10,000 people, doesn’t know the difference between “corps” and “corpse“… and this:

Perhaps that extra 2,900% will come from the savings on breathalyzers for corpse men he sees at rallies in the additional 7 states.

“By Any Means Necessary…”
March 16th, 2010 5:12 pm

So Congress has gone from voting on legislation without even reading it

…to the threat of passing legislation without even voting on it.

What’s next? Enforcing legislation that hasn’t even been drafted…

After 16 long years, it appears the D-baggers are ready to again trade seats in Congress to try and get their disasterous and highly unpopular healthcare bill passed. The Community Organizer in Chief is set to read a teleprompter tomorrow telling the D-baggers in Congress to go forward with the nuclear option to pass the healthcare bill in the face of massive opposition.

All I have to say is… good for them. Go teach those stupid constituents a lesson or two about the way things work in Chicago Washington politics.

Oh, but a word of caution… just watch where your party is standing when you detonate the damn thing. It may be generations before they collect all the pieces.

UPDATE: Obama campaigned on change… but as expected, he’s just another politician who says one thing on the campaign trail and does just the opposite once given the keys to the office…

Couple of money quotes from the clip…

“My understanding of the Senate is that you need 60 votes to get something significant to happen…”

and…

“The bottom line is that our healthcare plans are similar, the question once again is, ‘Who can get it done?’ Who can build a movement for change? This is an area where we’re gonna have to have a 60 percent majority in the Senate and the House in order to actually get a bill to my desk. We’re gonna have to have a majority to get a bill to my desk. That is not just a 50 plus one majority.

and…

“You gotta break outta what I call the sort of 50 plus one pattern of presidential politics. Maybe you eke out a victory of 50 plus one, then you can’t govern.” You know, you get Airforce One, there are a lot of nice perks, but you can’t deliver on healthcare. We’re not going to pass universal healthcare with a 50 plus one strategy.

and…

“Fixing our healthcare system… If we want to transform the country though, that requires a sizeable majority.”

There’s only one appropriate response to anything Obama says…

UPDATE 2:And so it goes…

When your message is too weak to support your own station and you’ve admitted your supporters are stupid, what’s left to do but spoon feed them talking points and walk them to debates, holding their hands?

The Democratic National Committee’s Organizing for America has quietly launched an initiative aimed at making Obama supporters’ voices heard on the largely conservative airwaves.

The online tool presents users with a radio show discussing political topics, to which supporters can listen live, and the phone number for that station, for when health care comes up. It also offers tips for callers and talking points on the issue.

Given that most of their constituents are probably exploring careers in the telemarketing industry, this is probably a good strategy.

But it still doesn’t address the bigger issue… that most Americans don’t want to hear what liberals are peddling, hence the market forces of supply and demand leave them no other viable avenue to spew their socialist agenda. It does, however, show that liberals realize that the audience in talk radio land is too large to ignore… while they simultaneously ignore the reason behind the size of the audience.

And unloading a bunch of uninformed drones into grown up discussions of important issues will only further expose the idiocy that runs rampant on the political left. So I say, bring it on, seminar callers. Why think for yourself when you can have the White House think for you?

Of Course He Would… He’s a Democrat
January 18th, 2010 12:05 am

What happens when Democrats find themselves behind in elections?

They cheat, of course. (audio)

SCHULTZ (23:02): I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I’d try to vote 10 times. I don’t know if they’d let me or not, but I’d try to. Yeah, that’s right. I’d cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. ‘Cause that’s exactly what they are.

The more we hope, the less they change.

Scott Brown vs. ObamaCare
January 12th, 2010 9:02 pm

One man potentially stands as the last line of defense against a disastrous monstrosity of legislation that threatens the United States. That man is Scott Brown. On January 19th, voters in Massachusetts will go to the polls in a special election to fill the Massachusetts Class I Senate seat (formerly held by Ted Kennedy), for the remainder of the term ending January 3, 2013. The election has become a referendum of sorts on the healthcare fiasco currently being crafted through backroom deals and shady bribery among the Democrat-controlled Congress. If Republican Scott Brown can pull off an upset in the blue state, he would become the 41st Republican in the Senate, ending the Democrat super majority.

Brown’s campaign had a goal of raising $500,000 today. So far, he’s raised $1.3 million and counting. Click here to raise that total.

By the way, here’s Brown during a recent debate reminding people just whose seat is up for grabs in this election.

I’ve been saying all along that the provisions in the Obamacare plans that force individual citizens to purchase health insurance under penalty of fine or imprisonment is unconsitutional and unprecedented. (See Sec. 1501: REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN MINIMUM ESSENTIAL COVERAGE on page 320)Never before has the U.S. government forced citizens to engage in a contract or purchase goods or services…. nor should they. Ever.

Senators DeMint and Ensign have raised a Constitutional Point of Order on the Senate floor against the Democrat health care takeover bill on behalf of the Steering Committee, a caucus of conservative senators. The Senate will vote tomorrow on the bill’s constitutionality.

And I’m glad to see them address the car insurance red herring as well.

“Forcing every American to purchase a product is absolutely inconsistent with our Constitution and the freedoms our Founding Fathers hoped to protect,” said Senator DeMint. “This is not at all like car insurance, you can choose not to drive but Americans will have no choice whether to buy government-approved insurance. This is nothing more than a bailout and takeover of insurance companies. We’re forcing Americans to buy insurance under penalty of law and then Washington bureaucrats will then dictate what these companies can sell to Americans. This is not liberty, it is tyranny of good intentions by elites in Washington who think they can plan our lives better than we can.”

There’s nothing Democrats hate more than being on the record with their votes. As evidenced by their three midnight/weekend/holiday votes on this current healthcare fiasco, they would prefer to do things behind closed doors so they can come out spinning… rather than promote their policies publicly where they can be held up for scrutiny and debate.
