Sorry been busy last week and then took a little vacation to MN Friday through Sunday. I am back now and hopefully I will give you a little something to talk about.
1. With the Democrats being so celebratory about deeming the Senate bill as passed, it gives one pause. If it were only insurance, they have been waiting 100 years in order to get universal insurance coverage? I don't think so. They know the bill is much more and will lead to much more than simply insurance (which it won't even do).
2. I don't remember where I saw or heard it, but the Republicans get branded as the party of NO, when it is Democrats who say NO to crosses for Christians, want to say NO to you deciding on health care, NO to you deciding which foods you can and can't eat (i.e. trans fats, some sodas being banned), and NO to you letting you keep more of your tax money.
3. Analogies abound in taxes starting now and not receiving any supposed health care benefits for 4 years. A couple of my favorites...what if Obama had said we are in desperate need of jobs (which he did) but had decided to wait for 4 years before any jobs were created? And the other is, buying a car and having to pay for it now, but not being able to drive it for four years.
4. A lot of the talk has been about right-wing violence against liberals. Where was the outrage in the media and on the left for the left wing violence in the 2004 and 2008 elections (http://www.thepatriotsflag.com/2010/03/violence-against-republicans/)? Not to mention the notices of "an alarming trend". I don't condone violence but seems like a double standard.
5. Supposedly Congressman John Lewis was called the n-word and Barney Frank was called a derogatory term for gays right before the health care vote. For me, I don't want to seem too conspiracy like, but though cameras were abundant at the Capitol, no tape, video or audio, has surfaced which support their version of events. I am also aware of many instances of hoaxes with racism with liberals (http://rdickerhoof.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/hoax-and-change/). That and to Democrats it is always 1964. Hence why they paint the Tea Partiers as racist and conservatives in general.
6. This was a while ago, but Human Rights Watch, a left-wing group seeming more to want to damage Israel than actually investigate human rights abuses, turns out to have had a military expert who was fired for showing at least an affinity for Nazi memorabilia. I am glad HRW fired him, but is there any doubt, if this guy worked for Palin or Romney, it would be a huge story? But if it is a left-wing group our media yawns. See http://www.mererhetoric.com/archives/11275875.html. The point isn't to attack him personally, it is to say that apparently his views weren't out of sync with others at HRW, and that our media doesn't even report these kind of things.
7. Democrats always seem to say that what matters most is what group you belong to - Hispanic, black male, white male, etc. Their current arguments are that Republicans and Tea Partiers are racist (not known for their new analyses), but when you break it down it means that they dare to disagree with Obama because he is black. So in other words, what matters most is that Obama is black.
8. Once government can decide that you must buy health insurance, where do you stop? Why couldn't they force you to buy anything?
9. Just curious if any lawyers who proclaim they handle the cases for "the rule of law" regarding Gitmo detainees will offer their services pro-bono to the "Christian" militia group.
10. Democrat Henry Waxman calling executives up from private companies to intimidate them about not signing on to so-called health care reform.
