The Weekly Enlightenment

Still a lot going on in the health care front this week. The big news was Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress. As with all Obama's speeches, it is couched in terms of what we must do, but it is based off strictly what Democrats want. The media ignores what Republicans are pushing, and presto, Republicans have no plans and Obama really cares about you. There was a curious admission from Obama though. During the speech, he said "30 million citizens". Is this a tacit admission that there are possibly 17 million illegals? I thought the number was 47 million, the figure Obama has used in all his other speeches. During the speech, Representative Joe Wilson (not to be confused with Democrat liar Joe Wilson claiming Iraq wasn't trying to buy uranium from Niger) shouted at Obama that he was lying. Which is undoubtedly true. In usual fashion, the feckless Republican leadership demanded Wilson apologize. So Wilson did. Now Democrats are saying they will admonish him unless he apologizes on the House floor. He should not. They were no calls to my knowledge of Democrats making their members apologize for booing Bush during his addresses. It's time for Republicans to quit being wussies and realize current Democrats really are radical and are bent on harming the country as we know it.

A couple other thoughts on my mind:
* Why should the rich pay more in any system? Isn't that discrimination? If everyone had to pay taxes we'd see change a lot easier.
* A funny comment I heard, pretty soon Obama will be blaming his low poll numbers on Bush, saying he inherited those too.
* Why is the media not lionizing our general in Afghanistan for calling for more troops like they did General Shinseki under Bush? They said Shinseki was speaking truth to power. Why the double standard?

MUST READ
* Exposing ACORN for helping out a pimp and prostitute, even with the importation of underage Central American girls. This has happened in both Baltimore and DC (see this), so I don't buy that it is a couple bad employees. ACORN is morally bankrupt.
* Why do Americans spend more on health care?
* Remember, Obama was once a lawyer for ACORN. A good article exposing how ACORN steals democracy.
* After all the scandals surrounding ACORN, why would you want them having to do anything with the census? If this was something done in the previous administration, I still condemn it. But what are the chances of the affiliation being ended had ACORN not been exposed?
* We are betraying the dead.

Liberal Lies on Health Care
* Taking on the lies from the left regarding how the House bill would not allow illegals to be covered or abortions. It also points out some ridiculous things people have to pay for in their health insurance, like breast implants, drug rehab, and marriage counseling.
* How to make an Obama speech (especially on health care).

Silly Liberals
* This is ridiculous. Notice how Gaddafi is a temporary member of the Security Council. Why would you help give legitimacy to such a farce as the UN?
* Why was there a huge rush to push the health care resolution through Congress when it wouldn't go into effect until 2013? Obama also promises to get savings by cutting waste, fraud, and abuse from Medicare. Why not just pass that part of it right now?
* Obama's environmental czar was a true radical. And according to a close aide to Obama, Valerie Jarrett, they've had their eye on Van Jones for a while. The only conclusion is that Obama actually agrees with much of what Van Jones has done and said.

What Media Bias?
* The media was itching to write a comeback story for Obama. Perino wrote the piece before Obama's speech and was right on in how it was covered.
* Bias in deciding to publish photos of a dying Marine. Compared to not putting out the Mohammed cartoons.
