WELL, THEY DID IT...

As a fabulous monument to foolishness, the Democrats forced through their "health reform bill" yesterday. Cleverly, a few high-visibility benefits will accrue soon, even more cleverly, all the costs are deferred until after the next presidential election, and the real tax crunch and the losses in service won't hit until Obama is safely out of office. Who is more guilty here - Obama, Pelosi, Reid? They all are, as is their 'Sixties mentality that is steeped in the notion of a small group of betters reducing everyone else to chattel. In other words, socialism with a rainbow face.

Let us see how the challenges go - 35 states are already prepared to challenge the bill, the Supreme Court must review it for constitutionality, etc. etc. After that, we will see whether we still have a functioning democracy. In the meanwhile, fight!

BACK ABOARD

Still trembling at the very thought of the nightmare called Obama.

After a single year of it, America's reputation throughout the world lies in ruins. Our friends and allies are not friends and allies any more, thanks to Obama's messianic pretensions. Our enemies are openly laughing at us. Our economy has been driven into the ground, and a communist country holds so much of our debt that it now presumes to tell us how to run our business, or else. All of Obama's appointees are ideological, anti-scientific loonies who cannot tell one kind of orifice from another but who know exactly what to do to turn democracy into dictatorship. The head of NASA is now head of outreach to Indonesia. The sock puppet in charge of homeland defense has nixed the plan to put up a border fence to make invasion by illegals more difficult. (About now, I could pass out from hyperventilation if I go on, so let me move on to better news.)

There are encouraging developments. The long-suffering American people are finally in revolt, and getting angrier. As another blogger had so aptly put it last September, the ents have gone to war. Good on them. Good on us. Time to capture Orthanc, then move on to Mordor. The TEA Parties are active, and anxious politicians are beginning to listen. The Democrats have been stunned by losing significant political races, and the Republicans are finally showing some spine. The climate change hoax, which is a declared keystone of global governance (i.e. world dictatorship), has been discredited, with more and more scientists either abandoning that sinking ship or getting even more hysterical and ridiculous. The States are asserting their constitutional rights vis-a-vis the Federal government. And, most significantly, Obama's reputation has now gone down the drain, and rats are abandoning his ship. If his flagship health/education "reform" bomb passes, he is doomed. If it does not, he is doomed.

Speaking of which... Over the past few days, I had the unenviable task of reviewing that 2,309-page monstrosity. I find it so convoluted, so incomprehensible, so full of downright totalitarian notions and such a midwife to yet more thousands of useless bureaucrats that I have actually trekked to my congressman's and senators' offices and left handwritten notes to please please please kill it before it kills us.

I also pleaded with the to avoid "slaughtering" democracy. They might get it, or they might not. But it's a crucial point to make.

Go America!

IN THE BACKWARD WORLD, THE RULE OF LAW IS A COUP D'ETAT

The Hondurans removed their very own OOPS (Official Obama Pal and Soulmate) from the presidency after he repeatedly broke the law in trying to set himself up as dictator for life. The Hondurans' brave actions represent the rule of law and are triumph for democracy.

That is precisely why the reactionariesprogressives, with the Fuehrobama in the lead, disapprove of it so vehemently. After all, they are well under way toward enshrining contempt for the law as the new "rule of law" in the United States. Just ask Maxine Waters, the California brainiac who declared that the legal impeachment of Clinton was a coup d'etat.

She clearly understands these things (and all other things) better than anyone - just check out her sex and skin color!

WHO GIVES A FLYING FOXTROT?

So Michael Jackson is dead. I am sorry to hear it. But he was basically a schmuck whose entertainer style was to make himself progressively more ridiculous by displaying his mental health problems. Marian Anderson, he wasn't, nor B. B. King.


Was this poor, haunted wraith really worth 807 front-page articles in 71 countries?

These people certainly would have!

THE SCIENCE IS IN!

The science is in. The man in this picture - the gauleiter Heinrich Wachsmann von und zu Kalifornien - is an idiot. Not a useful one, but a dangerous one, since his idiocy is combined with boundless malice, equally boundless love of arbitrary power and (to paraphrase the second worst president in U.S. history) an inordinate fear of democracy.



This man however, despite his tender years, is pretty smart. The science is in on that, too.



He definitely knows right from wrong, and he can recognize a dangerous situation before it develops into a disaster. He would never vote for a bill that is sure to demolish his people's homes, lifestyle and freedom.

Now, that's smart!

HOW DARE THEY???

Here I am, I, Obamus Maximus Hisself, channeling my friend Mahmoud's progressive feminine for months now with my all-conquering cosmic mind, and he dares tell me anyways that I'm interfering in Iran's internal affairs?

Time for drastic measures. I think I will weep publicly (we'll use onions to create the illusion of tears) and experience stigmata on my palms (ketchup will do: the media will lap it up). Then I'll reestablish relations with my fellow progressives like Hugo Chav. Then I'll give some of the undeserving American rednecks' money to that outstanding humanist, Bobbie Mug. (Val says I should first learn a few phrases in Zimbabwean, to impress the natives. No sweat, I've got more doctorates around here than Bush could ever imagine!)

Mahmoud, you'll be real sorry when I'm done with you!

SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH CARE, THE NIGHTMARE APPROACHETH

On May 16, I mentioned the uncanny similarity between the Soviet "health care" system and Obamacare. Namely:

"...because a single-payer system is basically a single HMO for the whole country, heavily centralized and run by faceless bureaucrats, we the people will have about as much recourse as Soviet citizens did."

Not a bad statement, even if I do say so myself. Now come the dirty details, thanks to the White House report, "The Economic Case for Health Care Reform" (.pdf), produced by the Obamite Council of Economic Advisors (CEA). I thank this not-so-august body of highly-degreed thinkers for confirming my darkest fears. On reading through their product, I felt like I was back in Communist Czechoslovakia, forever trapped in the Office of Central Planning. It's that bad.

I am also glad that I am not alone in being afraid. Peter Ferrara of the Institute for Policy Innovation just published an extensive analysis of that document in The American Spectator. It is aptly named Murder by Bureaucracy.

Need I say more? Write to your elected representatives to b**ch and moan before it's too late, folks!
