Ed, I have attended several Tea Parties both locally and in D.C. on September 12, 2009, and I can tell you that you, sir, are a douchebag. You’re in the minority, and I hope your delusion continues.
Okay, okay… despite the obvious jokes about this pair that write themselves (including one that just popped in my head regarding the acronym SCOTUS), this was a most delusional segment from MSNBC about the Supreme Court ruling scaling back some of the restrictions of McCain-Feingold.
Liberals are gnashing their teeth, trying to convey that only “evil” corporations will benefit from this recent ruling, but it wasn’t restricted only to right-wing or “obscene” profiteering corporations – the Unions will make out HUGE on this, as well. Why do you think the progressives are going nuts about this? Are they just trying to make political hay about it, or are they just so stupid they don’t realize the beneficiaries of this ruling are on both sides of the political aisle?
A lot has been said about this book already, and much publicized so far, so I’m going to let this video speak mostly for itself. Tonight on Hannity’s show, “Game Change” authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann were on to discuss some of the more juicy details of the book.
This was last Sunday on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. This was quite entertaining. Although I have to admit, and yes, I’m biased, that McAuliffe is a bit delusional. Karl was having fun, as was I.
Continuing the discussion on the Civilian National Security Force Obama wants to build, guests former Army Staff Sgt. David Bellavia, author of “House to House” and an Iraq war vet, and Matt Spalding of the Heritage Foundation, were on to discuss and ponder the need of a civilian security force and just who they would be “fighting.” Bellavia has an interesting comparison (not equivalence) between a group loyal to the Iraqi State and not the country or the people, that Saddam’s Fedayeen were for his rule in Iraq. The parallels are striking, and only a military person who helped topple Saddam’s regime could understand it.
Why would Obama want a civilian force just as powerful and as well-funded as the U.S. Military to protect our “national security?” From enemies foreign or domestic? And who decides for this group (presumably AmeriCorps as the umbrella organization) who they’re going to fight to defend our national security?
More questions than answers, and we need more answers. STAND UP! Ask questions, and don’t give up until you get an answer.
As a final point of clarity, Glenn does get it wrong with AmeriCorps government funding of a $500B, but he does point out that he needs to check that and get the correct amount, as he does later in the show (not in this clip). It’s actually $5B, but before you say “wow, that’s a huge difference for Beck to screw up,” let me say two things:
1) Beck corrected himself; not because he was called on it, but because he wanted to be exact; and
2) Since when in hell did $5B become an inconsequential amount? Oh, yeah…ever since $1 trillion became so trivialized to the point we’re all numb to it.
$5B is a lot to a “community organizer” group, and I’d like to see justification for that expenditure of OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS!!!!
In a simple answer, the word is “yes.” And does the media really fall for the Lyndon LaRouche plants, or do they just focus on them, basking in the false comfort they feel thinking the rest of the public will believe that these are the right-wing “evil-mongers” disrupting the townhalls? Apparently so. It shouldn’t shock anyone, considering the MSM is completely complicit in trying to fool viewers into thinking that ALL townhall protesters are evil, racist, gun-toting white men!
This morning on This Week, Obama advisor David Plouffe was on, along with Karl Rove, to discuss today’s healthcare reform bill vote. Rove tries to get Plouffe to stick to the facts, and pounded him on what the numbers actually are on this bill, the economy, our deficit and budgets, as well.

From Politico today:
Tea Party protesters disrupted Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s press stakeout at a House Office Building, yelling “you’re a disgrace to your office” and one protester yelled a gay epithet at Rep. Barney Frank again on Sunday, adding yet another layer of chaos to an already tense afternoon on Capitol Hill.
In a moment of [...]
Once again, Shepard Smith shows his utter disdain for the Tea Party movement. Today as Fox News was covering the healthcare reform vote and the protests outside, Shep remarks that the “leaders” on the right like Rush Limbaugh and others have been telling people to go out, make our feelings known, etc., so there we [...]
I found this wonderful blogger/cartoonist at DrawForTruth. This cartoon actually states in a picture what can only be described is how Americans feel today about the healthcare reform bill being crammed down our throats right now.
They reportedly have the votes for tomorrow, but it still doesn’t make the bill right for America. God help [...]
A good friend passed along this video to me today, and it couldn’t have come on a better day. Enjoy!
This video perfectly embodies the sentiment of those who oppose big government and unsustainable spending.
This is a country that runs on the consent of the governed – and I DO NOT consent to my [...]
I am SO proud of one of my home state’s Republican Senators, Tom Coburn. Not only is he a fine Senator, but he’s also a physician. Today he fired a warning shot across the bow to Dems, saying that if they think they can vote yes on the “deem to pass” rule but think they [...]
