The Weekly Enlightenment

Another busy week. Harry Reid is buying off Senate votes with the health care bill. This time, supposedly conservative Democrat Ben Nelson. Just going to show that politicians rarely have principles they stand on. Even Joe Lieberman got a few concessions on the bill and will not stand in the way of blocking the bill. Weeks ago, it was Mary Landrieu with a $300 million buy-off. Of course, we still don't have any money to spend (and China is talking about not buying any more US debt). President Obama in his 60 Minutes interview talked about not helping out fat-cat bankers on Wall Street. This is so laughable, since he doesn't mind helping out his fat-cat donors, helping out his fat-cat supporters (like ACORN), or paying off fat-cat politicians with taxpayer dollars. All of politics is about paying off those who helped you. Notice too that this is a pattern with Obama. Attacking the productive in our society.

Speaking of fat-cats...does Obama care about those who actually worked to get to where they are? Democrat politicians and liberals always make it seem like people in the free market don't earn their keep, but it is those politicians who don't earn their keep and promote policies that reward those who don't produce.

MUST READ
* How many of these kind of statements do we not catch? "The world recognized the need to confront Saddam Hussein when he invaded Kuwait". Democrats at the time, including Joe Biden (current U.S. Vice President) and John Kerry (2004 Democratic nominee for President), didn't even recognize the need to confront Saddam. If only we had a media that called both parties on their statements.
* A great series of excerpts from the next book I will be buying regarding the housing boom and bust.
* It seems as if Obama's plan all along was to institute single-payer through expanding Medicare.
* Ann Coulter spot on. More money for less care.
* Employees in one sector are doing just fine. Government. Not only do they earn more, but their perks are much more too.
* More evidence that the stimulus was designed to reward Democrat constituencies. This time, those districts receiving more than twice the amount of Republican districts, not to mention there being no correlation between what amount was spent to unemployment or other economic indicators.

What Global Warming?
* Ever notice something about evidence that gives doubt to global warming? We are told that this isn't contrary proof to global warming. Same thing with any liberal beliefs,like Darwinism, DDT, embryonic stem cells, etc. Any contrary proof must be ignored, downplayed, or suppressed.
* Remember when Tea Party protests were being labeled as astroturfing? Meaning they were not real protests by ordinary people, but staged. Of course, like usual, the astroturfing happens on the left. Notice too that the signs are in English (not that it constitutes proof of astroturfing, but that it might be a ploy to lure susceptible US media).
* Tony Blair in so many words saying that even if the science isn't correct we need to do something. Huh?

Health Care
* Democrats continue to pull out all the stops, citing phony studies from left-wing advocacy groups.

Silly Liberals
* More tolerance from lefties. And more examples from the past for their tolerance for opposing viewpoints.
