Shamalot – no more.

The Democrats no longer have 60 seats today. One of their number - Senator Ted Kennedy - has gone on to face his eternity. Let’s hope that God’s mercy toward him is greater than Kennedy’s toward the unborn. I take no pleasure in his passing, but maybe Divine Providence has had a hand in his timely removal from the Senate.

Kennedy was a primary supporter of “healthcare reform.” (English translation: Socialized Medicine). Virtually everything Kennedy said was either a lie or it was simply not true. Chappaquiddick was not the beginning of his surreptitious career as many people might think. As early as 1964-65 Kennedy was working hard to alter the makeup of the United States. His Immigration Reform Act of 1965, under the guise of equality (which we all support), paved the way for many of the immigration problems we face today.

In 1965 Kennedy stated his bill “contrary to the charges in some quarters, will not inundate America with immigrants” and “will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.” Well, that is precisely what happened. Kennedy was the main force behind the amnesty granted in 1986 that was supposed to end illegal immigration and penalize businesses that hired illegal immigrant workers. Well Senator Kennedy, we’re waiting!

Kennedy also confidently predicted that no immigrant under the new system would become a “public charge.” Ha-ha. That one is laughable. Today there are so many immigrants drawing welfare in one form or another we can barely count them. We have more people on welfare today than entire populations of some other countries. Indeed, people immigrate here legally or otherwise specifically because of welfare programs that liberals (especially the extreme left-wingers in the ACLU) work hard to make available to them.

Most recently Kennedy wanted to convince us that healthcare, even for those here illegally, is an inalienable right. He told his constituents: “contrary to the charges in some quarters” healthcare reform [sic] will reduce the costs of healthcare without compromising quality of service. Given his track record, not to mention that of his fellow liberals, do you really believe a single (slurred) word that came out of his mouth?

So long Ted!

None So Blind As Them That Won’t See

New York Governor David Paterson thought he had an ace up his sleeve, but it turns out that all he had was the race card. Racism among Democrats has been particularly noticeable now that the Democrats have captured majorities in both houses and the White House, whether it’s Pelosi condescending to Alford, or Paterson blaming his failure on the racism of his constituents.
On Friday August 21st Paterson lamented that the chorus of people who believe he should not run for election next year want to keep him out of the race, not because the economy in New York is worse than in other states, or that the average New Yorker pays more in taxes than do people from just about anywhere else on the planet (and for ever-diminishing results), but because he is black!
“We’re not in the post-racial period,” said Mr. Paterson, according to an article posted on The Daily News Web site, which cited an interview the governor provided to a radio program hosted by Errol Louis, a Daily News columnist.
“The reality is the next victim on the list, and you can see it coming, is President Obama, who did nothing more than trying to reform a health care system,” Mr. Paterson said.
Nothing more than trying to reform a health care system? That’s like saying we tried to eradicate AIDS by eliminating all those infected with HIV. But alas, that’s not the point here. The point is that I am sick and tired of all the racism coming from pretend victims of it. Paterson didn’t stop there though. He stated on Monday, August 24th: "Part of what I feel is that one very successful minority is permissible, but when you see too many success stories, then some people get nervous." Paterson may be blind, but he is not color blind. And to be honest, I don’t think he is very intelligent. I am not sure which is the greater tragedy. If only he could understand that people don’t care about his skin color – they care about the color of money, and too much of it is being taken from them because of fiscally irresponsible policy.
If it isn’t people like Barbara Boxer condescending to Harry Alford, it’s people like Paterson claiming victim status when in reality he’s only a victim of his own poor performance. And this isn’t anything new. Remember Georgia Representative Major Owens claiming in 1994 that 200 million Africans were killed on route to the United States? That the ecology of the ocean was forever changed and as a result sharks are still swimming the route of the the slave ships in search of human flesh?

This sort of thing would be truly hilarious if it wasn’t for the fact that these ridiculous claims impede race relations. Mindless comments such as these give fodder to hate groups like the KKK and any other stupid skin head operation out there. And by questioning them; by pointing out how ridiculous claims like this are, one risks being branded a racist by other kinds of hate groups like Nation of Islam, ACORN, or for that matter, the Democrat party.

Just Trying To Do My Part

According to Fox News, "The White House is under fire for a blog post asking supporters to send "fishy" information [regarding the healthcare "reform" debate] received through rumors, chain e-mails and casual conversations to a White House e-mail address, 'flag@whitehouse.gov'."

Well, I think it's a good idea! Forget Fox News! I wanted to do my part to pass on the names of web sites that contain suspicious and misleading information, so I sent the following email:

Comrades,

Please focus some of your attention on the following web sites and persons of interest who are passing along information that is both false, and damaging to the President and his goal of Socialized Medicine.

http://www.democrats.org/ is a fairly pernicious site because although it looks semi-official, it is full of misleading statements concerning the public option and those who are against it.

http://www.dailykos.com/ - the people here are not only spreading lies about the healthcare debate and those opposed to socialized medicine, they also are very angry and have no sense of humor at all. Dishonest and hateful? Not a good combo. Perhaps they need to be watched a little more closely. If Janet Napolitano is right, this outfit must be made up of a bunch of angry white veterans.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ - these guys were a little better. I believe the indignation described by David A. Harris over President Obama being compared to Adolf Hitler was justified: those two look NOTHING alike. However, I think that it is disingenuous and even racist to make comparisons like this based on looks. The fact that Obama is a dyed in the wool socialist (Nazi IS an abbreviated form of National Socialist German Workers' Party after all) lends a lot of weight to a comparison based on political ideology. And couldn't you say that Hitler started off as a community organizer?

And I would be remiss if I forgot to pass along a most troubling site; http://www.moveon.org/. But I probably shouldn't say anything disparaging about your most influential investor.

Robert Gibbs is the face of a propaganda machine that spews misinformation on a daily basis. You might want to give him a once-over.

Yes, something is definitely fishy over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Kind of makes you think that Mrs. Paul is the First Lady, and not the lovely Michelle Obama.
