I’m so glad to see that so many of the political pundits (mostly Conservative) were right. They all said, even during the primaries, that any real criticism of Obama would be called racist. That’s exactly what we are seeing now. Have you seen what the liberals are saying all over the media? It’s really sick.
You know, I am even more convinced now that many blogs went private (aka retreated to the bunker) because they knew there was no way they could defend what Obama would do and they knew that Obama would do many of the exact same things they chided the GOP for.
I knew Obama would fail and fail miserably but didn’t realize it would be so quick!
Great post by Neal Boortz on all this “torture” crap:
First of all .. making some goon think that they’re drowning is not torture. I’m not even sure that drowning someone is torture. That’s murder. Go ahead … Google the words “drowning” and “pleasant.” Doesn’t sound like torture to me. Also .. firing a gun near someone’s head or depriving them of sleep isn’t torture either. If it was there would be thousands of Marine Corps drill instructors and college professors who should be awaiting charges right now.
All of this moralistic grandstanding is starting to get on my last nerve … and there’s not all that many left. What a bunch of hogwash. Let’s try a little scenario here. No fudging. No “buts.” This is your scenario … if you don’t want to accept it as-is, then walk away.
Scenario: Your spouse and child have been kidnapped. They’ve been buried alive in a box. They have enough air and water to last a day or so. You have someone in your custody whom you know with absolute certainty can tell you where your family members are buried. Now .. what are you going to do to get the information you need to save your spouse and child. Don’t’ give me this “call the police and let them deal with it” scenario. You know that the police are bound by the rules … but are you? Will you put a washcloth over this person’s face and pour water on it? No? Will you point a gun at his head and tell him that he has seconds to live if he doesn’t give up the information? No? Would you start breaking this thugs fingers – one-by-one – until he gives you the information you need? No? Are you kidding me? Well … tell you what. Why don’t you call your spouse and children into the room right now and read this to them. Tell them that if was they who were buried in that box waiting to die that you wouldn’t torture someone to save their life. Tell them that this guy would walk away with every body part in tact .. no scratches .. no broken bones. You would do nothing to frighten this man into thinking that his life is in danger. Why you wouldn’t even poor water on his head. Tell your family members would just have to die before you would do anything closely related to torture to the man who had the information that could save their lives. Tell them that — and then live with the look in their eyes. Tell them that — and then live with the knowledge that they know what a wuss you are.
Me? I’m just not the nice reason you are. I can’t think of a single thing I would not do to this man if it would give me the information I need to save my wife and daughter. Get out the glass rods and the bamboo shoots. I’ll need some pliers and a blow torch as well. When it’s all over, and my family is save, I’ll let the jury decide.
“They do it all the time … UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. … It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.”
Ok…so he is saying that Govco run health care will have a bunch of issues and problems? Also, the larger point is this – FedEx and UPS cannot compete with the Post Office in regards to first class mail. In fact, no on can. It is illegal to put something in someones mail box. It’s a crime. That is just how life will be under Govco…private insurance will not be able to compete.
What Liberals such as Mark Elrod are saying about all these so called “mobs” at these Town halls. Is he for or against these people exercising their free speech? I mean, I remember his old public blog and how he laughed at Conservatives getting shouted down and literally chased off the stage. What is he saying about Pelosi calling people who are against Govco health care as “un-American”? Or about Obama sending out Union thugs to “hit back twice as hard” ?
You have to wonder and wonder we shall since he retreated to his bunker a year ago…
Can you imagine the outcry if George W. Bush had encouraged Americans to report their fellow citizens to the White House? That is exactly what Obama wants you to do. Here it is, straight from the White House:
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov
…and you know that many who frequent this site would be leading the charge against this were it Bush but with Obama, it’s no big deal.
You really gotta wonder what people like our good professor have to say about the fact that this “Community Organizer” is now ripping community organizers.
