YES WE WILL!

Barry: You might want to screen your people props a little better...

First, I offer my prayers for a complete and full recovery for Natoma Canfield. But it would be remiss not to mention (as the President opted not too) that she is in the hospital getting the treatment she needs and is all but certain to get financial assistance through the hospital or charity group and/or Medicaid. And the Cleveland Clinic is not going to force her to pay or die, nor choose between her home or medical treatment.

Natoma Canfield, the cancer-stricken woman who has become a centerpiece of President Obama's push for health care reform, will not lose her home over her medical bills and will probably qualify for financial aid, a top official at the Cleveland medical center treating her told FoxNews.com. [note: I made a quick search of the other major news outlets and it doesn't appear any of them are eager to knock off Obama's halo on this story ~ Kevin]

Though Canfield's sister Connie Anderson said her sibling is afraid she’ll lose her house and Obama warned at an Ohio rally Monday that the patient is “racked with worry” about the cost of tests and treatment, she is already being screened for financial help.

Lyman Sornberger, executive director of patient financial services at the Cleveland Clinic, said “all indications” at the outset are that she will be considered for assistance.

“She may be eligible for state Medicaid … and/or she will be eligible for charity (care) of some form or type. … In my personal opinion, she will be eligible for something,” he said, adding that Canfield should not be worried about losing her home.

“Cleveland Clinic will not put a lien on her home,” he said. [note: Cleveland Clinic is a NOT for profit hospital, but no hospital will turn you away for inability to pay in an emergency situation and in a case like Natoma's every hospital will work with you to find financial aid or charity or get you on medicade. ~ Kevin]

Mr. President, you might want to ask your staff (such as it is) to screen these people a little better before you stir the pot at these rallies. I know, I know the only thing that matters is that the story sounds good. Alright then... go for it.

The "Chocolate City" Has A Marshmallow On Top

New Orleans elects first white mayor in over 30 years

Landrieu, who lost to Nagin in a runoff four years ago, was a welcome change for some voters who grew frustrated with the city’s current mayor. Little known outside New Orleans before Katrina, Nagin became a central, and sometimes controversial figure, in the city’s struggle to recover. Though he won re-election as he courted black voters in the 2006 campaign. Nagin notoriously pledged after the hurricane that New Orleans would be a “chocolate city” again, offending many whites.

Polls showed his popularity fell sharply in the years after the storm.

The Liberal Mind(less)set

John Hawkins : Seven Huge Flaws in the Way Liberals Think - Townhall.com

I think # 5 gets to heart of the flawed Modern Liberal mind. The links were added by me...

5) Liberals believe merely being liberal makes them good people. Liberals who're obsessed with money think they're compassionate because they give away other people's tax dollars. They believe they care more about the earth than other people, even as they fly around in private jets*, because they babble on about global warming. They can be dumb as a rock, but believe they're smarter than most other people because they're liberals. In other words, in the minds of most liberals, liberalism is an all-purpose substitute for actual virtue instead of just another political philosophy.

*Yes, I'm aware that Pelosi uses a jet provided by the military, but the principle is the same because she treats it like her personal property.

While we most certainly should do good and help people, we must be careful to do so in a substantive way - with mind as well as heart. Otherwise our good intentions only serve as more asphalt on the road to hell. Hell for us and the ones we want to assist.

She Made A Choice... You Just Don't Like It

Heisman Trophy Winner Tim Tebow Celebrates Life, MSM Whines About "Choice"

Okay all of you offended women's "rights" groups. If you don't like this ad then run a counter "Celebrate Suction Aspiration & Saline Poisoning" ad. Everyone get's to express their opinion. That's how America works. How America doesn't work is that you do NOT get live your life without being offended. Grow up and get used to it. And keep in mind that Mrs. Tebow did what you consider to be a holy sacrament of Modern Liberalism: she made her own choice. Your ranting makes it look like you want to silence her because - in your opinion - she made the "wrong" choice.

Back To The Fifties With Harry "Jim Crow" Reid

Remember this post where I asked Would Harry Reid Try To Get Obama's Attention By Yelling "Hey Negro"?

Well apparently he would!

The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 presidential bid and are quoted in a yet-to-be-released book about the campaign.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.

And Joe Biden says "Don't forget clean, Harry! He's clean too!" Reid & Robert Byrd then broke into a rousing duet of "Old Man River" and closed with "Mammy".

Good grief, I don't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

Nance Ain't Got Your Back Barry!

Nancy Pelosi Takes Swipe At President Obama's Campaign Promises

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, piqued with White House pressure to accept the Senate health reform bill, threw a rare rhetorical elbow Tuesday at President Barack Obama, questioning his commitment to his 2008 campaign promises.

A leadership aide said it was no accident.

Pelosi emerged from a meeting with her leadership team and committee chairs in the Capitol to face an aggressive throng of reporters who immediately hit her with C-SPAN’s request that she permit closed-door final talks on the bill to be televised.

A reporter reminded the San Francisco Democrat that in 2008, then-candidate Obama opined that all such negotiations be open to C-SPAN cameras.

“There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail,” quipped Pelosi, who has no intention of making the deliberations public.

As Peter Griffin would say...

Would Harry Reid Try To Get Obama's Attention By Yelling "Hey Negro"?

"Negro" Race Choice On Census Form Sparks Outrage

A fiery blast from the past is conjuring controversy in the new millennium. The word "negro" is now featured on an official U.S. document and now many are questioning if the Census Bureau is being insensitive.

It's a word that many African Americans associate with segregation, so imagine how shocked many were to see it on the 2010 U.S. census form.

"The fact that it's 2010 and they're still putting 'negro,' I am a little offended," said Secaucus resident Dawud Ingram.

Thank you Democrat Party, Bertha Lewis, and Rham Emanuel (who I assume will be checking the box next to "Hebrew") for a wonderful trip down memory lane to 1950... Do they even listen to themselves when they talk? I'm seeing precious little evidence that they do. Any of my gay sistas going to be checking the box next to "Honky Fag"?

Lord It's Like A Hard Leftist Christmas...

White house Christmas tree decorated with Mao, Obama on Rushmore, and a transvestite

...the White House Christmas tree is decorated with bulbs sporting Mao Tse Tung, President Obama on Mount Rushmore and a transvestite. Odd choices for celebrating the birth of Christ in my opinion.

That's quite a troika. Hedda is mostly harmless... not apropos at all, but mostly harmless.

Obama on Rushmore? Well he belongs there right? He knows it, you know it.

But Mao? Oh Tannen-Mao? The man who killed 40 million people and began the persecution of the Church in China that continues to this day? The man who began the persecution of all religion in China that continues to this day? The man who began a holocaust of infanticide (abortion and the murder of little girls) that would make Herod blush? One would like to think even Mr. & Mrs. Barack Hussein Obama aren't that strident and knob-headedly unaware. But apparently one would be wrong.

This is the silly gent who designed the tree.

Let's Make A Deal... For Your Vote

Harkin: Dems Focused on Health Reform Big Picture

Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, responded Tuesday to widespread criticism that Democrats only garnered the 60 votes needed to defeat Republican stalling tactics on the health reform bill by catering to self-interest, saying Democrats are focusing on the big picture; "trying to cross a demarcation line."

Harkin dismissed deals dubbed vote-buying by GOP senators as "small stuff" that distracted Americans from the primary focus of the overhaul bill.

Just a piffle really. Hardly worth calling bribery. Just your normal run of the mill D.C. "you kiss my ass I'll kiss yours" wheeling and dealing. I'll take what's behind door number 3 Harry. Aw... I'm sorry Tom, it wasn't a new hospital or a lifetime supply of viagra... I'm afraid you've won a 2010 defeat, but we're also giving you - courtesy of Nancy Pelosi - a year's supply of...

You'll Feel A "Pinch" When The Needle Goes In. That's Called The "Point".

Missing The Point On Health Care Reform

If health care passes, but then gets repealed, the President wins. If health care passes, and Democrat Senators don’t get reelected, the President wins. If health care passes, and the House switches to Republican, the President wins. If more Americans are without health care, the President wins.

And Barack Obama thinks that when he wins, America wins. He IS the new America. He is wrong, but don’t anyone tell him that. Not that he’s listening anyway.

This bill is as empty as the President himself. It is meaningless, at this point. Everyone hates it and not because that’s what happens when big bills get passed. Everyone hates this bill because it’s the worst sort of American politics: selling out to special interests, increasing the scope and influence of government, individual mandates, covering the wrong procedures, increasing taxes, cutting care. It’s all in there. It’s vile. And still, all these “historic” provisions are meaningless because they’re all expendable. [...]

This health care bill will be a Democratic soul-killing, empty, symbolic victory and be the perfect symbolic show for the perfect symbolic President. He can say, “I won.”

And that’s the point of this bill.

Don't worry though, when they're through draining your wallet... they'll give you a cookie and some juice. But if you need to see a doctor... unfortunately there'll be bit a of wait.

Jimmy "The Dhimmi" Carter: Worst. President. Ever.

Jimmy Carter: Abuse of Women Including Genital Mutilation is the Fault of Catholics & Southern Baptists

In an address to a gathering sponsored by the World Parliament of Religions (PWR) last Friday, former US President Jimmy Carter has once again blamed traditional religion, particularly Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics, for “creating an environment where violations against women are justified.”

Says Gateway Pundit: Last I checked it was the Muslims who performed female genital mutilation. But, Jimmy Carter would never have the guts to single out Muslims like that.

Jimmah, you... are a doddering old fool.

Oh Harry... Thanks For The Campaign Ad...

It takes a special kind of arrogance (and ignorance) for the democrat Senate majority leader to make this statement:

“You think you've heard these same excuses before?” Reid said during remarks on the floor of the Senate. “You're right. In this country there were those who dug in their heels and said, 'Slow down, it's too early. Let's wait. Things aren't bad enough' — about slavery.” ~ Harry Reid

He should know though, he is a member of the Democrat Party. You know them, they're the ones that "dug in their heels" about slavery; FOR it not to end it.

Considering his party fought to defend slavery, legislated Jim Crow laws, boasts the longest serving Senator... former sheet-wearing Klan leader Robert Byrd, and opposed the voting rights act (Senate vote count: Democrats: 47 against –17 for [73%-27%], the GOP was 94% in favor), I'd be a bit ashamed if I were good ol' Harry. The GOP should of course thank him, because you can't buy that kind of political advertising.

Awww... This Means Lynne Stewart Won't Be Able To Be A Part Of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's Defense/Aid & Comfort Team...

Via Dr. Sanity: Common Cause With Theocratic, Homophobic, Misogynistic Psychokillers

I just happened to notice this today from Andy McCarthy at The Corner:

A panel of the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has upheld the convictions of my old adversary, Lynne Stewart, for providing material support to terrorism — i.e., helping the Blind Sheikh run his Egyptian terrorist organization from U.S. prison, where he is serving a life-sentence. The convictions and sentences of the other two defendants were also affirmed. Lynne, who has been out on bail since being convicted eons ago, has been ordered to surrender to begin serving her sentence.

This is simply unbelievable! All this time I thought this leftist terrorist-sympathizer was in jail, and instead, she’s been galavanting around free to continue to create mischief and proudly proclaim her treason.

Too bad we don’t have the balls to execute traitors like Stewart these days.

I'm Sure Andrew Sullivan's Mea Culpa Will Be Coming Forthwith If It Turns Out To Be Insurance Fraud... Not...

AP sources: Probe eyes census worker's insurance

Investigators trying to solve the mystery of a census taker found hanging from a tree with the word "fed" scrawled on his chest are examining whether he manipulated the scene in order to conceal a suicide and make a life insurance claim possible for his son, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.

The dead man's son, Josh Sparkman, said in an interview with the AP that he found paperwork for the private life insurance policy among the personal files of his father, Bill Sparkman, but wasn't sure of the amount or when it was taken out. He said authorities have told him nothing about the case and haven't produced a death certificate, which is usually needed to make an insurance claim.

Two law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, said investigators were trying to determine whether Bill Sparkman committed suicide but altered the scene to make it look like a homicide, allowing his son to collect.

What!?! It doesn't appear to be crazy Southern populist terrorism, whipped up by the GOP and its Fox and talk radio cohorts you say? Who could of guessed? Check the strap on your CPAP mask Andy - it's on too tight again.

The Meaning Of The Bow...

Paul Mirengoff: Why does he hate us? Barack Obama's America-effacing presidency

Obama's antipathy toward America should come as no surprise. Although he has lived a rich and varied life, there has been one constant - exposure to the left's disparaging narrative about America.

Obama grew up in a radically left-wing household, attended elite colleges where a jaundiced view of America is orthodox, and spent the remainder of his formative years as a community organizer alongside the likes of former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and the "God damn America" ranting Jeremiah Wright. No wonder Obama is serving up a "God damn American lite" presidency.

I hate to say I told you... Wait! No I don't... I told you so before you voted for him. A lot of us did. How's that "change" working out for you?

How Did We Let Our Culture Slip This Far? Are We Too Weak To Save Ourselves Now?

Diana West - Diversity Uber Alles

As Gen. Casey blatantly underscored it yesterday on Meet the Press: "Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse." The end of "diversity" as a fetish object is "worse" than the massacre at Ft. Hood? Think about it. The general in charge of the Army is saying that if we, as a people, stop worshipping diversity above all and start protecting our soldiers and ourselves from the teachings and goals of Islam,that's "worse" than the carnage at Ft. Hood. Fire Gen. Casey. His duty is to diversity, not his troops.
