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 can get away with saying they didn’t vote for the healthcare reform bill, it’s gonna be rough…in fact, it’s going to be “hell.”
Oh, and if you’re thinking about committing suicide with a ‘yes’ vote for this in hopes of getting a federal position or a deal for your office or district? Think again. Your names will be long etched in memory of every right-thinking person, and Sens. Coburn and company will make sure you are dogged until the end of time.
And if I know my Okies right, and I do, you can take that to the bank! Vote to pass and you will PAY!
Well, somebody’s gotta pick up ACORN’s slack, dont’ they?
Yesterday on Beck, Glenn revealed even more lies the president and top Dems are churning out about alleged “victims” of our “broken” healthcare system. They keep trotting out these people at press events and other occasions to use and abuse these people to get this healthcare reform bill shoved down our throats. The latest is cancer patient, Natoma Canfield of Ohio. From the Fox News story:
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.
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.
Now, Natoma is just the latest example, and probably the patient du jour for the Dems, but certainly not the last. Shamelessly, Senate Dems Reid, Schumer and others used an 11-year-old ‘human shield,’ Marcelas Owens at a recent presser, in an attempt to stifle debate about healthcare reform. If some cad DARE to take the Dems to task over this, why, they’ll just look like heartless heathens, right? Truth is it is the Dems who are shameless on this one.
Well, sucks to be them, doesn’t it? As it has been said, facts are stubborn things. Blogging goddess, Michelle Malkin along with others, are revealing the truth about what was really behind the “Marcelas Goes to Washington” escapade. From one of her exposes:
One of President Obama’s youngest lobbyists – 11-year-old Marcelas Owens of Washington state – traveled to D.C. on Tuesday on the dime of astroturf group, HCAN (Health Care for America Now). His 27-year-old mother, Tiffany, died of pulmonary hypertension. According to the family, Ms. Owens – a single mother of three — lost her job as a fast-food manager and lost her insurance. She received emergency care and treatment throughout her illness, but died in 2007.
Young Marcelas – goaded by his left-wing activist grandmother and promoted by Democrat Sen. Patty Murray — is now a regular on the pro-Obamacare circuit and is leading a congressional sit-in until the Democrat plan passes. He admits he doesn’t understand the complexities of health insurance reform and doesn’t “think it’s anyone’s fault” that his mom passed away. “But they could have done more” for her, he says.
It’s a heart-wrenching story, but the tale raises more questions than it answers. Washington state offers a plethora of existing government assistance programs to laid-off and unemployed workers like Marcelas’s mom. Why didn’t she enroll? Second, she died nine months after she reportedly lost her health insurance. By the time she lost her coverage through her employer, she was apparently already in dire health straits. It’s not clear that additional doctors’ visits in the subsequent months would have prevented her death.
The funny thing about all of this is the politicians on the Hill, rightly so, think we’ll buy into this garbage. We have, after all, been asleep for a long time, have we not? For the most part, we’ve always thought ‘America will always be the same country, nobody can really break us as a nation, right?’ You see, the thing they’re missing, and it will be their undoing, is that the sleeping giant has awakened – and not only do we KNOW what is going on now, but this time we CARE and we are NOT going to go back to sleep.
It is ‘We the People’ who will stand up to these tyrants and stop this madness. It’s time to return the power to its rightful owners – the American citizens.
This is absolutely fabulous. This is Must. See. Glenn. Time’s Joe Klein has repeated his attack on conservatives, especially Sarah Palin and the Tea Partiers. Klein’s earlier blog post at Swampland a few weeks ago skewered Glenn and all of his fans. Well, basically, he tried to rip ALL patriotic Americans. We’re just a bunch of big dumb-dummies who don’t understand what’s good for us. Glenn laid into him then, too.
This is classic Glenn. Good stuff, my man… good stuff.
I agree with Mediaite’s post about this – possibly the best 15+ minutes of Glenn Beck EVAH! I had already culled the video, was waiting to edit & post it, but I’m going to h/t Mediaite and post their video for your viewing pleasure. It’s much better quality than mine was anyway.
Watch and enjoy, watch-and-enjoyers. This was true LOL pure Glenn.
In my mind, this was political karma, and it bit Martha in the ass…BIG time! And if you never thought it before, Scott Brown has proven himself to be one class act – he gave congrats to Coakley, Obama and other notable Dems. He even paid homage to the Kennedy family, and I don’t think he even mentioned party in ANY of this speech. Want to know why? It’s no longer about the “R” or the “D;” it’s about principles and values, and you can have both in either party – or you can have neither and owe your soul to the devil. Scott Brown gets it – do you?
I think Scott Brown’s election in MA is just a harbinger of things to come. And I hope it’s one of reclamation of States’ rights and a return to American values including reduced size of government, less spending, and fewer instrusions into our prive lives. I love this man, and if nobody thought we had a leading conservative candidate before tonight, that doubt should be erased. Scott Brown is the “everyman,” and his family is damn near close to a Norman Rockwell portrait. He should be seated tomorrow at the LATEST!
Today gave me hope for the future of this Republic. Folks, we cannot stop now – we must forge forward and begin to reclaim what is rightfully ours, rights that were divinely granted as inalienable. The government wants to take those away, but hopefully with folks like Scott in the Senate, we can slowly work our way back to a time where individual and states’ rights mattered.
And a time where government gets the HELL out of our way!
P.S. Can someone please tell Patrick Kennedy to go take some more drugs, drinks, and crash into the Senate building barricades? He’ll achieve much more than he is in trying to help his deluded family in keeping Scott Brown out of the PEOPLES’ seat in Massachusetts.
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.

…and hilarity ensues.
I don’t agree with Stewart’s political views, but when he’s funny, he’s really funny. Check out this latest video of his recent discovery of Chatroulette.
I didn’t know Brian Williams had that good a sense of humor! I needed this laugh today.

This includes the development of National Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, which will facilitate a coordinated response to cyberthreats from the federal government, local city [...]
