Socialized medicine? Bring it on. I’d like free healthcare and I’d also like the rich to pay for it. Come on. Who wouldn’t like the idea of Oprah, Alec Baldwin and Michael Moore paying for our healthcare so we don’t have to? I think it’s a GREAT idea.
Ok, ok. Sure there are flaws. Barry Obama and Nancy “never blink” Pelosi’s healthcare plan is horrible. It’ll never work. It’ll wreak havoc with our healthcare system and damage the economy. So what?
I think we can all agree that the current system of healthcare in America is ALSO horrible. It is a broken and antiquated system that is collapsing on itself and bringing America down with it. So why replace one horrible system with another horrible system? Well, to get rid of the current horrible system, run the democrats out of office and fix the new horrible system.
If “Obama-care” becomes the law of the land then we’ll all suffer and the rich will pay for it. Thanks to our wonderful form of Democracy the politicians will also pay for it. When everything comes crashing down the newly elected politicians replacing the outgoing politicians that messed things up will have no choice but to fix the system. Plus, it’ll be nearly impossible to go back to the current horrible system. Yay!
Once us meek common folk out here have free healthcare we’re not going to want to go back to paying for it. The new politicians in office will fix the system or they’ll be leaving office next. We’ll keep replacing the current bozos with new bozos until the system is fixed. It’ll be a vicious cycle that’ll benefit all because that’s how democracy works.
What? Mix socialism and democracy together? Yes, of course. We already do it all the time. Our public school system, library systems and police and fire departments are ALL socialist programs within our capitalist democracy. The right mix of socialism, capitalism and democracy will always be the strongest system.

Obama blindly defends arrested professor
No matter what your race or your location you are ALWAYS required to do what a police officer asks you to do.
Harvard Professor Arrested
Even if you are a Professor at Harvard and a friend of Obama's. For Obama to even flash the race card when saying "I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played..." is absurd and irresponsible. He's right. He DOESN'T know the facts so SHUT UP UNTIL YOU DO!. You are NOT al sharpton or jesse jackson so don't spew race hate when you don't know what you're talking about yet.
Isn't Obama supposed to be a lawyer? Aren't lawyers not supposed to ask questions they don't already know the answer to? Doesn't that apply to statements too?
It's also irresponsible for the President to spew the generic line "...that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately." Aren't we SUPPOSED to be beyond race now by the very fact that his butt is in the Oval Office? That's what hollywood and the mainstream Sarah Palin hating media promised us anyway.
If we truly are passed race then why would the supposedly highly educated Professor Gates respond with "Why, because I'm a black man in America?" when asked to step outside when officer Sgt. James Crowley asked him to speak with him? Why would that be your first question?
But, where are the facts in this case? Clearly not on CNN (a.k.a. the Clinton News Network). They have lots of articles on the "outrage" about this incident but I can't find ONE about what actually happened. The police had to be there for a reason. How about CNN reporting some facts so Obama can have a clue before he starts mouthing off without a teleprompter again? Who does he think he is...Joey Biden?

Obama channels McCain in Michigan
Obama’s speech in Michigan today was supposed to be a Townhall. Could it be that it was changed so Michigan citizens could only listen to him read from a teleprompter and not ask him questions?
In his speech he told Michiganians “some of the jobs that have been lost in the auto industry and elsewhere won’t be coming back,” calling them, “casualties of a changing economy.” Hmmm, about 1 year ago John McCain told the same people almost the same exact line. He went on to get his butt kicked in the primary by Mitt Romney. Maybe it’s not a good idea to tell a state with 14.1% unemployment that their jobs ain’t coming back.
He stopped short of telling them that if they wanted to continue to work in the auto industry they might want to consider moving to Huntsville Alabama (Toyota plant), Lincoln Alabama (Honda), Kansas City Missouri (Mazda), Smyrna Tennessee (Nissan) or West Point Georgia (Kia). Hmmm, they seem to be making more cars in the south than in Detroit. Maybe GM, Ford and Chrysler should outsource to the south instead of overseas.

Sotomayor Overturned Already
From an AP article ( Reverse discrimination ruling leaves confusion ):
New Haven, trying to fill senior fire department vacancies, gave a test to 77
candidates for lieutenant and 41 candidates for captain. Fifty-six firefighters
passed the exams, including 41 whites, nine blacks and six Hispanics. But of
those, only 17 whites and two Hispanics could expect promotion.
This means that 118 candidates took the test for either lieutenant or captain. Of those only 56 passed (47%). Of those 41 were white, 9 black and 6 Hispanic. But, only 17 whites and 2 Hispanics did well enough to be promoted. It doesn’t specify but it looks like there were only 19 openings and these were the top 19 test takers. This also means that of the 37 who didn’t qualify to be promoted 24 were white, 9 were black and 4 were Hispanic.
Of the 56 who passed 73.2% were white (41), 16.1% were black (9) and 10.7% were Hispanic (6).
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics there are over 293,000 fire fighters in America. Of those 4.8% are women (meaning 95.2% are men). Overall, 8.2% are black, 0.3% is Asian and 9.4% are Hispanic (meaning 82.1% of all fire fighters are white).
According to the U.S. Census 66% of our population is White/non-hispanic. 12.8% are Black, 4.4% are Asian and 15.1% are Hispanic/Latino. One of the arguments in New Haven is that the racial proportions in the New Haven fire department are not proportionate to the population mix of New Haven. But, the facts (which often confuse liberals), clearly show that the racial mix of Fire Fighters in America is not proportionate to the population of America.
Also, 91% of all fire fighters in New York City are white. It seems, nationwide, white people are more likely to be fire fighters in the first place. Thus, it’s easy to take the raw numbers from the New Haven case out of context. When you compare the percentages they’re not out of whack at all.

Reporters Convicted in North Korea
Wow! A country that enforces it border security laws. What a concept.
North Korea verdict (CNN)
What’d they expect when they went over there? They knew this was possible. Reporters knowingly take chances and they are rewarded and glorified when they get away with it but when they get caught we want them released on “humanitarian grounds”. But, had they gotten away with it they’d come home, hit the talk show circuit, write a book and be hailed as brave reporters trying to uncover injustice in the world. Sorry, this time the reporters got caught and have to pay the price. Next time think about it before violating somebody else’s laws whether you agree with them or not.
If they were men (especially white men) we’d never hear about them. Remember the white male reporters who were shot and killed in South America a few years ago? No?
The two reporters in North Korea essentially amount to a hostage situation and hostage situations can get tricky. Obama needs to play this one correctly. But, even the Obama friendly Huffington Post is blasting him for being friendly to Iran and the Muslim nations while not saying a word about the one lady that was convicted in Iran nor the two in North Korea. It’s even mentioning him wanting to set Gitmo prisoners free but not getting our prisoners home from foreign countries. This can bite him later.
Carter messed up the Iran hostage situation. Reagan took advantage of that. Iran didn’t fear Carter but they were afraid Reagan would retailiate in some way. Reagan had Bush and Cheney is his cabinet. After the crises was over there were lots of mysterious bombings and “accidents” that occurred to Iranian officials. That’s back when we let the CIA do its job and didn’t occupy countries. Ah, the good ole’ days.
Like Carter, these countries don’t fear Obama. He’s a “kindler gentler” President. He’ll need to change that image if he doesn’t want more things like this to eat away at his chances of re-election.
Expect the reporters to be home shortly. North Korea is using them as bargaining chips. They want something and they’ll probably get it. They wanted this to get out publicly making it a bigger deal. The more it’s in our news the more the politicians will think they have to seem “humanitarian” and help the girls out. Don't be surprised if they’re home by the 4th of July so the politicians can reference “freedom and independence” in their public speeches while they secretly give away the farm for their photo op.

Mainstream/Misleading Media
According to the mainstream media’s picking on the Conservatives, President Bush, and Sarah Palin I would’ve thought the majority of the country was Pro-Choice and every Pro-Lifer was some right-wing nut job. My guess would’ve been 75% Pro-Choice and only 25% Pro-Life. According to polls by the right-leaning Fox news and the left-leaning CNN/Gallup that is not true. Interestingly both polls resulted in almost the exact numbers.
The Fox poll has it 49% of Americans are Pro-Life, 43% are Pro-Choice and 8% are undecided.
CNN/Gallup has it 51% of Americans are Pro-Life, 42% or Pro-Choice and 7% are undecided.
Thus, if you weed out the brainless undecided’s it’d be 53-47 in favor of Pro-Life for the Fox poll and 55-45 in favor of Pro-Life for CNN/Gallup. Wow! The majority of people with brain enough to pick a side are Pro-Life. This is not accurately depicted by the mainstream media that leads one to believe only a few right-wing crazies are Pro-Lifer’s and if you’re not a Pro-Choicer then you’re a crazy unenlightened person too.
