Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Obama: How’s about a shout out to ol’ whats-her-name who died of cancer not having a good health plan? She did get a sweet t-shirt, though!

What a horrid, shameful man this narcissistic empty suit is!  Quoting The One:

I got a letter — I got a note today from one of my staff — they forwarded it to me — from a woman in St. Louis who had been part of our campaign, very active, who had passed away from breast cancer. She didn’t have insurance. She couldn’t afford it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And she had fought a tough battle for four years. …

As Tom Maguire points out, she did have health insurance.  Granted, it was a high-deductible plan, but she opted to use the money to invest in a business instead of in her health.  I am very sympathetic, but if the left chooses to make an example of the need for socialized medicine at her expense, it’s a battle they will lose (again).

Anywho, continuing with B.O.’s quote:

… All through the campaign she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted she’s going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt.

If only she had access to a “corpse-man“, right?  Byron York observed thusly:

Many observers have noted that the president often seems extraordinarily self-referential. It’s all about him, they say. But even those critics might be a little taken aback by the “buried in an Obama t-shirt” remark. Is it really that much about him?  (Is Ed “Too Tall” Jones…too tall? – Ed.)

He never mentions her name, not once.  But he sure mentions himself and his branded t-shirt.  To quote John Hinderaker, “But enough about me: what do you think about me?”

Global warming movement is dead

To quote Bones from Star Trek: “It’s dead, Jim.”

Awesome column here, but the takeaway quote:

“The global warming movement as we have known it is dead,” the brilliant analyst Walter Russell Mead says in his blog on The American Interest. It was done in by a combination of bad science and bad politics.

In other news, DC is digging out from about three feet of global warming right now.

Night and Day, “Pelosi blames the president for job losses” edition

Queen Botox in 2003:

The fact is that President Bush’s misguided economic policies have failed to create jobs. Since President Bush took office, the country has lost 3.2 million jobs, the worst record since President Hoover. And today we learned that in July nearly half a million people gave up looking for a job.

Job losses are taking a real toll on the financial security of American families. While Democrats are fighting for opportunity, jobs, and economic security for working families, Republicans continue to focus on helping those who need help the least.

According to today’s survey, while the national unemployment rate dropped slightly, it still stands at a near record high. In addition, the unemployment rate for African Americans was still over 11 percent in July, and the unemployment rate for Hispanics was 8.2 percent in July.

With today’s unemployment numbers making 2003′s look like a Sunday picnic, here’s what San Fran Nan is saying today:

(crickets chirping)

You know, if I didn’t know any better, I’d swear that she’s quieter than Monica Lewinsky in her kneepads simply because the current president is of the same party that she is.

Crush Liberalism Radio to begin Sunday, February 14

I put together a “dry run” this past Sunday to see if I could navigate successfully, upload sound clips, etc.  I think I know enough to be dangerous!  :lol:

Anywho, the first real show will be Sunday, Feb. 14, at 10:00 pm EST.  I would have started it this upcoming Sunday, but like many of you, I’ll be tuned in to the Super Bowl.

Shows are all archived, so you can always listen later at your convenience.  My intention is to broadcast every Sunday for 30 minutes, beginning at 10:00 pm.  If conditions determine that I need to bump it up to an hour or start it at a different time, I will, but that’s down the road a bit.  Also, I don’t think I’ll be accepting call-ins for the first show, only so I can try to put together a full show first.  After that, I will determine who I will allow on the air and how I will arrange that (so as to prevent the moonbat stalkers from invading the show).  If you don’t like the rules, then you are free to get your own show going with your own rules.

Thanks for the encouragement, friends, and I’ll see you (figuratively speaking, of course) on Valentines evening!

Charlie Crist supports counting criminal immigrants in census

Friggin’ brilliant, Charlie.  You’re tanking now in a poll that you led by 30+% a couple of months ago, so you figured the best way to regain the lead in a conservative primary is…to shill for illegal immigrants?  Really?

I’m going to love casting my vote for Marco Rubio this summer.

Quote of the day, “I’m REALLY not a leftist!” edition

This is a real knee-slapper!  Excerpt:

“I am not an ideologue,” President Obama insisted at his truly refreshing confab with the Republican caucus in Baltimore last Friday. When he heard some incredulous murmurs and chuckles from the audience in response to the idea that the most sincerely ideological president in a generation is no ideologue, he added a somewhat plaintive, “I’m not.”

…

The evidence offered that Obama is no ideologue rests almost entirely on two contentions: He has annoyed some members of his ideological base, and because he says so.

That’s what chapped my posterior more than anything about the 2008 election.  Any sentient being could look at B.O.’s skimpy voting record (the votes that weren’t “present”) and see that virtually every single position he took was not just on the left, but on the far left.  He had no proof whatsoever that he had ever been “pragmatic”, bipartisan, or anything other than a leftist ideologue.

Yet when he was speaking his flowery rhetoric (and, as Reid pointed out, “without a Negro dialect”) on the campaign trail about reaching out, finding the proper answers and not the left or right answers, about purple states and not red or blue ones, normal Americans like myself howled in incredulous laughter.  He had never been a pragmatic politician, and his record conveyed that clearly.  Yet because he was such an unknown, people could project their ideals on him without a frame of reference.

Well, guess what?  You have a frame of reference now, America, and it is the Marxist in the Oval Office.  How’s that Hopenchange working for you now, huh?

Reid’s “light-skinned” pal with “no Negro dialect” trashes Vegas…again

Yes…again.  Way to win friends and influence people, Barry.

Reid did gently chastise B.O., and D’oh-bama has tried to clarify his statement (“inartful”, I’m guessing).  But I’m guessing that bringing in his “clean, articulate” pal for campaigning is still a go.

Canadian province’s premier: Socialized medicine is so wicked awesome here in Canuckistan that I’m flying to the U.S. for my heart surgery

Dude’s been a huge proponent and defender of socialized medicine, but when it comes to his own health, it’s a totally different tune he’s singing.  Beauty, eh?  Details:

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams is set to undergo heart surgery this week in the United States.

CBC News confirmed Monday that Williams, 60, left the province earlier in the day and will have surgery later in the week.

The premier’s office provided few details, beyond confirming that he would have heart surgery and saying that it was not necessarily a routine procedure.

Single-payer for thee, but not for me…eh, Canuckistan?

Here’s guessing that this won’t be in Mikie Moore’s next mockumentary.

Quote of the day, “Gibbs said WHAT?” edition

BEVERAGE WARNING!  If you are imbibing at the moment, you are hereby warned to cease…lest you spew your drink all over your monitor after reading this gem from B.O.’s spokestool, Robert Gibbs:

We are where we are today partly because of this economic downturn, but partly because for a long time we had two wars that we weren’t paying for. We had tax cuts that we weren’t paying for. And we had a prescription drug benefit that, although very worthy, we never paid for.

We have to return to some very common-sense principles that everyday Americans live by every time they go to the grocery store or want to go to the movies or cash their paycheck, and that is you can’t spend more than you have.

Seriously?  Did the mouthpiece for President Trillion-Plus Deficit just say that?

Oh, yes…yes he did.

Crist flaming out in Florida Republican Senate primary

The primary is still about seven months from now, but it looks like Gov. Charlie Crist was a bit premature in his decision not to run for re-election as Florida’s governor.

He instead wanted to take his brand nationally, to the U.S. Senate.  Trouble is, though, that despite being well-funded and having a well-recognized name, his bromance with President Training Wheels has been his undoing.  As of today, Crist trails primary opponent Marco Rubio by 12%.

Obviously, a lot can change between now and then.  Crist is loaded with cash and notoriety.  However, Rubio has decided that RINO-hunting can pay off big time for him.  Regardless of who wins between Crist and Rubio, though, the seat looks to stay red, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Obama “slashes” budget, which results in…$1.6 trillion deficit

My head hurts.  Excerpt:

The $3.8 trillion budget blueprint President Obama plans to submit to Congress on Monday calls for billions of dollars in new spending to combat persistently high unemployment and bolster a battered middle class. But it also would slash funding for hundreds of programs and raise taxes on banks and the wealthy to help rein in soaring budget deficits.

To put people back to work, Obama proposes to spend about $100 billion immediately on a jobs bill that would include tax cuts for small businesses, social-safety-net programs, and aid to state and local governments. To reduce deficits, he would impose new fees on some of the nation’s largest banks and permit a range of tax cuts to expire for families earning more than $250,000 a year, in addition to freezing non-security spending for three years.

Despite those efforts, the White House expects the annual gap between spending and revenue to approach a record $1.6 trillion this year as the government continues to dig out from the worst recession in more than a generation, according to budget documents released Sunday by the White House. The red ink would recede to $1.3 trillion in 2011 but remain persistently high for years to come under Obama’s policies.

Look at the comPost: O’s “slashing” his way to ballooning deficits.  Nope…no liberal media bias!

So President Deficit Tackler’s idea of “spending freezes” and “deficit reduction” plans will result in a bigger budget deficit than this country’s ever experienced?

OK, I see how that works:  I will “slash” 20 lbs. off my frame by adding 5 Big Macs a day to my caloric intake.  That oughta work the same way as B.O.’s deficit strategy.  My approach will flat-out taste better, too, no?
