Don't Do It For Teddy

The Dummycrat's new rallying cry is "Do It For Teddy".

This is in reference to passing the god-awful Health Care Reform Bill.

Oh, yeah, voting for something as a memorial to someone regardless of its merit is always such a good idea. NOT.

I learned this lesson years ago during the 1964 presidential election.

My best friend's father said he was voting for the Democratic candidate (LBJ) in memory of the assassinated JFK.


Please note, he was not voting for Lyndon Baines Johnson, he was voting for a Democratic candidate ... no matter who it was.

And perhaps a lot of people felt that way because LBJ was elected and became one of the worst presidents ever. If you think Bush's war (Iraq) was bad, then just Google Vietnam War. That is LBJ's legacy.

Health Care Reform, as it is currently being promoted, is just as big a quagmire with just as far-reaching consequences.

What Goes Around ....

  ... Comes around. 

 Back in 2004, when Senator John Kerry was the Dummycrat contender for POTUS, Teddyboy Kennedy did not want then-Governor Romney (Rep) to have the chance to appoint a *gasp* Republican as a replacement for Kerry in the Senate, should he somehow get elected. 

 So, the Massachusetts state legislature changed the law and gave control over the selection of senators to the voters. 

 Now a special election must be held 145 - 160 days after a Senate seat becomes vacant. The winner would then serve out the remainder of the unexpired term.  

 Let the voters decide. 

 Not a bad idea. 

 Now that Kennedy's Senate seat might become vacant soon, he wants the governor and legislative leaders to disregard the democratic process and the laws of the Commonwealth and change the succession, again... back to the way it was ...

... Kennedy asks that Gov. Patrick be given authority to appoint someone to the seat temporarily before voters choose a new senator in a special election. -- Frank Phillips, Boston Globe

 Even if this is merely a temporary appointment so that the Senate remains unbalanced (bwahaha) in terms of Democrat numerical majority ...

Let the voters be damned, eh Ted?

Heaven or Hell


So, where do you think the newly deceased Edward M. Kennedy will end up, Heaven or Hell?


Well, according to "heartbroken" Barack Hussein Obama, "the country has just lost the greatest United States senator of our time".

I guess he's voting for Heaven.

Those of us who remember Mary Jo Kopechne and the events of July 18, 1969, may have a different opinion.

(Thank you, Bret Baier of Fox News, for mentioning Mary Jo and Chappaquiddick in your report on dead Ted this morning. I'll bet the media morons on other MSM news won't.)

9-11: National Day of Service

Here's another step in the transformation of America: 

 Barack Hussein Obama has signed into law a measure declaring September 11th as a "National Day of Service". 

 Read Matthew Vadum's entire thing at The American Spectator Highlights:

The plan is to turn a "day of fear" (that helps Republicans) into a day of activism called the National Day of Service (that helps the left). In other words, liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.
The administration's plans were outlined in an Aug. 11 White House-sponsored teleconference call.

Groups on the call included: ACORN, AFL-CIO, Apollo Alliance, Community Action Partnership, Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, 80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs, Friends of the Earth, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Mobilize.org, National Black Police Association, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, National Council of Negro Women, National Wildlife Federation, RainbowPUSH Coalition, Urban League, and Young Democrats of America.

... With the help of the Obama administration, the coalition is launching a public relations campaign under the radar of the mainstream media -- which remains almost uniformly terrified of criticizing the nation's first black president -- to try to change 9/11 from a day of reflection and remembrance to a day of activism, food banks, and community gardens.

"The organizing term is to 'go dark.'

You don't tell the press, don't tell people you think will tell the press," said the source.

... The annual commemoration of the 2001 terrorist attacks belongs to the entire nation, but President Obama and the activist left don't see it that way. They view the nationwide remembrance of the murder of 3,000 Americans by Islamic totalitarians as an obstacle to winning over the hearts and minds of the American people.

"When you criticize them, they are prepared to say, 'Did you want 9/11 to be another day of selling mattresses, like Presidents Day?" the source said. "They are truly trying to change the American mindset."

They view Sept. 11 as a "Republican" day because it focuses the public on supposedly "Republican" issues like patriotism, national security, and terrorism. ... At no time does anyone explain why this National Day of Service has to be held -- of all the 365 days in a year -- on Sept. 11. --Matthew Vadum

Doctors, and Lawyers, and Doughnuts, Oh My


THIS doctor would make a great U.S. Surgeon General:


Dr. Jason Newsom, a 38-year-old former Army doctor and Iraq vet, directed the Bay County (Florida) Health Department until his personal health-care reform program against obesity ran afoul of local 'Redneck Riviera' politicians and lawyers, who happen to deal doughnuts.

Y So Srs?

Do you remember the recent furor over the poster of Barack Hussein Obama?

Why, yes. It was so ... mocking. So disrespectful.

 


And do you remember these:













Why, yes. They were so mocking. So disrespectful. 

But that was Bush.


It was okay, even encouraged, to express one's dislike, even hatred, of the 43rd POTUS.

And people did.

And there was no public outcry of
Racism.

My, how times have
Changed.
