ACORN San Bernadino Child Prostitution Investigation Part I

This is shocking that this criminal enterprise receives "non-partisan" tax-payer federal funds. It is not a few bad apples (or "acorns") -- it is the institutional modus operandi of the thug army of leftist operatives working for political structural revolution in this country. Sadly, its one of legions of clandestine or "front" organizations. See:

Poll: Americans Oppose Obamacare

Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Obamacare on Key Points: "The Zogby International/O'Leary Report survey of more than 4,200 likely voters found that a large majority oppose key provisions of Obama and the Democrats' healthcare reform proposals, including plans to extend health insurance to as many as 50 million uninsured Americans and to incorporate a form of healthcare rationing in the reforms."

9/12 Protest Washington DC Time Lapse Footage 0800 - 1130

I just checked the Monday AM CNN website, and there were a number of headlines on the Joe Wilson "You Lie!" outburst, but nary a mention of this HUGE protest against the latest Leftist power-grab to pave the way to a single-payer socialized health care system, as well as spend our way to oblivion. When the left gets a few 100 rent-a-mob protesters to sit-in with Cindy Sheehan, the "state-run" liberal media run banner headlines for days.

AN UNRESPONSIVE SPEECH

AN UNRESPONSIVE SPEECH

by Sarah Palin
Thursday, 10 September 2009

After all the rhetoric is put aside, one principle ran through President Obama's speech to Congress (9/09): that increased government involvement in health care can solve its problems.

Many Americans fundamentally disagree with this idea. We know from long experience that the creation of a massive new bureaucracy will not provide us with "more stability and security," but just the opposite.

It's hard to believe the President when he says that this time he and his team of bureaucrats have finally figured out how to do things right if only we'll take them at their word.

Our objections to the Democrats' health care proposals are not mere "bickering" or "games." They are not an attempt to "score short term political points." And it's hard to listen to the President lecture us not to use "scare tactics" when in the next breath he says that "more will die" if his proposals do not pass.

In his speech the President directly responded to concerns I've raised about unelected bureaucrats being given power to make decisions affecting life or death health care matters.

He called these concerns "bogus," "irresponsible," and "a lie" -- so much for civility.

After all the name-calling, though, what he did not do is respond to the arguments we've made, arguments even some of his own supporters have agreed have merit.

In fact, after promising to "make sure that no government bureaucrat .... gets between you and the health care you need," the President repeated his call for an Independent Medicare Advisory Council -- an unelected, largely unaccountable group of bureaucrats charged with containing Medicare costs.

He did not disavow his own statement that such a group, working outside of "normal political channels," should guide decisions regarding that "huge driver of cost ... the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives...."

He did not disavow the statements of his health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, and continuing to pay his salary with taxpayer dollars proves a commitment to his beliefs.

The President can keep making unsupported assertions, but until he directly responds to the arguments I've made, I'm going to call him out too.

It was heartening to hear the President finally recognize that tort reform is an important part of any solution. But this concession shouldn't lead us to take our eye off the ball: the Democrats' proposals will not reduce costs, and they will not deliver better health care.

It's this kind of "healthy skepticism of government" that truly reflects a "concern and regard for the plight of others." We can't wait to hear the details on that; we look forward to working with you on tort reform.

Finally, President Obama delivered an offhand applause line tonight about the cost of the War on Terror. As we approach the anniversary of the September 11th attacks and honor those who died that day and those who have died since in the War on Terror, in order to secure our freedoms, we need to remember their sacrifices and not demonize them as having had too high a price tag.

Remember, Mr. President, elected officials work for the people. Forcing a conclusion in order to claim a "victory" is not healthy for our country. We hear you say government isn't always the answer; now hear us -- that's what we've been saying all along.

Yeah. Let's break with the policies of the "last eight years." That is, the policies of Democratic Leftist Party stonewalling, cover-up and undermining of the American economy and the the institutions that gird and protect our freedoms and the civil society.

Proof Positive the Public Option Will Lead to Single Payer

"They" don't care if the American people want it (Socialized Health Care) or not. "They" know better. "They" know what's good for you. "They" will convince you of the errors of your ways. "They" care more. "They" have the very best of intentions. "They" have a vision of a Utopia. "They" will guide us to a Heaven on Earth. "They" don't care how they get there. "They" will be forgiven for the deceptions and lies, because the end result will have justified the means, no matter how unprincipled.

Spin and Sabotage

Wow. I hate to keep complaining of MSM leftist bias, but jeez!!! It's so prevalent its sickening, and they are pulling out all the stops to portray the health care townhall protesters as "hate" groups. Yeah. Granny is a card-carrying neo-Nazi. Please. Limbaugh is right -- the MSM is the state-run media.

Stimulating Stimulations

Stimulus in a nutshell - Mark Steyn - The Corner on National Review Online: "The 'stimulus' is advancing an already bloated statism at the expense of the real economy. That's why it's a flop. As for who this Mr Fitch is, he's the 'Acting State Stimulus Office Director'. The 'stimulus' is great if you're thinking of a career in Stimulus Office Management, Stimulus Office Management Consulting, Stimulus Office Human Services, Stimulus Office Promotion, or perhaps becoming a professor in Stimulus Office Studies."

--blogging at NRO, Mark Steyn cites a report on how "stimulus" money saved 700 New Hampshire "state" jobs -- in effect, propping up an already bloated public sector.

Playing Doctor for ObamaCare

Playing Doctor for ObamaCare
Posted by: Meredith Jessup at 2:24 PM
During Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's town hall meeting... you know, the one where this happened... a doctor stood to voice her support for the proposed health care plan.



When prompted, Dr. Roxana Mayer told the congresswoman she had been practicing medicine for four year and told the Houston Chronicle that she was a "pediatric primary care physician." In their story recapping the meeting, the Chronicle noted:

Some attendees at the meeting spoke in favor of the plan, go so far as to want a system where the government had complete control.

One supporter, Dr. Roxana Mayer, a physician who does not live in Jackson Lee's district, praised the reform plan for overhauling a broken system.

"I don't know what there is in the bill that creates such panic," she said.

A photo of Dr. Mayer hugging the congresswoman also ran with the story:
Turns out, the name "Dr. Roxana Mayer" doesn't appear in the database maintained by the Texas Medical Board, a registry of all licensed doctors in the state. But the name "Roxana Mayer" does show up on Barack Obama's website as a Texas Delegate for Obama--a small bit of information the Chronicle was aware of, but didn't report in its story. Though the Chronicle didn't bother to check into Ms. Mayer's background, some average citizens did. Unable to find evidence of her medical practice, Patrick Frey of Patterico.com emailed Mayer to get more information on her background. Mayer responded to Frey's email correspondence, saying:
...For what it's worth, I went to get a question answered for myself and two other people close to me who are doctors. Too bad she didn't answer it. I also went to lend support to the reform effort. It's easier to be against something especially since anger is such a great motivator... I do think this is all very funny because I just assume that if my going had been part of a conspiracy, it would have been more seemlessly executed.

But when pressed further by Frey as to whether or not she was actually a doctor, Mayer said she was not and joked:

But who knows, that was only my first town hall meeting–even though I was a delegate. If I go to another one, which I seriously doubt because my husband is already extremely annoyed, then maybe I'll play a plumber.

The Lone Star Times later picked up the story:

Our own David Jennings secured a phone interview, in which Mayer admitted to impersonating a physician, saying — get this — she thought it would help her credibility. (It didn't.)

The Times also ran a photo, which shed a new, crazier light on the whole situation:

Some people might recognize the face of the woman who sat in the background while Mayer stood to praise ObamaCare. That woman, who accompanied Mayer to the town hall meeting, was Maria Isabel--the Obama devotee who ran a campaign office which proudly displayed the Che Guevara flag.

What a circus. Let this meeting be a "teachable moment" for everyone attending town halls: question what you hear and keep your eyes open for loons.
