Buy one of these to pay your respect to the late Lion of the Senate! Makes a perfect gift for the left-wing-welfare-recipient in your life!
Attention Nazis at the FCC: I will not obey you. You have neither the constitutional nor the moral autority to fine me for what I say or fail to say on this blog. If I review a product that I have received for free, I will choose whether to disclose that fact without considering your threats. Should you decide that you want to issue a fine to me, do not expect me to pay. Instead, expect me to sue you and every employee involved in issuing the fine for the violation of my civil rights.
I’ve decided not to use profane language on this site (my own choice, you had nothing to do with it!) so here is a reflection of my sentiments towards you.
Patti Caplan of the Howard County Public School System released a statement about the song students were forced to sing praising President Obama. It says, in part:
The objective of this lesson was to motivate students with a positive message to be respectful, stay in school, work hard and do their best.
My eyes are rolling…so far back in my head. That is a blatent lie! All you have to do is read the lyrics that the children were forced to sing.
You can read the entire statement from Howard County Schools here.
The statement complains that the Assistant Principle of the school in question, whose name was circulated along with the lyrics, has received harassing, vulgar and threatening emails and phone calls. I wouldn’t condone engaging in any of those tactics, but my guess is that if someone calls and says, “You shouldn’t have forced those children to sing that song.” it will be labeled as harassment. Hah!
Spread those lyrics far and wide and bring shame upon those who are trying to indoctrinate the children of America!
We have yet another example of children being taught to worship President Obama.
Here is the text of a song that children were instructed to sing at Longfellow Elementary School in Maryland:
Obama,
President Obama,
President Obama,
President Obama,
President Obama–He says
Yes we can!
President Obama–We say
Yes we can!
President Obama–I say
Yes I can!
President Obama–He says
Yes we can!
Barack Obama–Oh yes he rates,
The first Black President in the United States!
He’s smart and he’s–so so good!
He’ll lead this country as he should!
He wants us all to work together,
To make this country even better!
Prez’ Obama says–”Yes We Can!”
Make the US better–hand in hand!
Obama,
President Obama,
President Obama,
President Obama
President!
It doesn’t get any more blatent than that. Hero worship is dangerous. If you aren’t sure about the dangers of hero worship, take a look at this video:
Thanks to Michelle Malkin for calling this to my attention, and thanks to Red Maryland for breaking this story to the public. When these sort of things happen, we need to get the word out and shame the demagogues!
Friends for Life!
@ConservativeGal on twitter has been making some very insightful posts. I am in slight disagreement with her, though I think the general principle behind our thoughts is quite similar. Here are some of her tweets (I’ve taken out the abbreviations that twitter makes necessary):
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal wants any mention of God or religion silenced.
If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative is homosexual, they quietly enjoy their life. If a liberal is homosexual, they loudly demand legislated respect.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don’t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one should have one.
I am in 100% agreement with all of these statements, and I”m quite pleased with @ConservativeGal’s libertarian sentiments. However, I’d like to add some issues that might find conservatives looking a lot like liberals:
If a libertarian disapproves of prostitution, he doesn’t hire prostitutes. If a conservative disapproves of prostitution, he tries to throw prostitutes and their clients in jail.
If a libertarian doesn’t like marijuana, he doesn’t smoke it. If a conservative doesn’t like marijuana, he starts a drug war.
If a libertarian doesn’t like gay marriage, he doesn’t get one. If a conservative doesn’t like gay marriage, he fights to keep them illegal.
If a libertarian disapproves of buying Cuban cigars, he doesn’t buy Cuban cigars. If a conservative disapproves of buying Cuban cigars, he outlaws them and enacts a trade embargo. (yes, I know JFK started it, but conservatives tend to like it.)
If a libertarian doesn’t like methodone maintenence clinics, he doesn’t go to one or open one. If a conservative doesn’t like methodone maintenence clinics, he tries to shut them down.
If a libertarian doesn’t like porn, he doesn’t visit porn sites or porn shops. If a conservative doesn’t like porn, he tries to shut down such websites and close such stores.
If a libertarian doesn’t like gambling, he doesn’t gamble. If a conservative doesn’t like gambling, he tries to outlaw it.
Let me be very clear: conservatives are the closest allies libertarians have these days, but they aren’t libertarians. Id’ be very interested to hear the opinions of conservatives on this matter…
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is scary^3! The American Association of Physicians and Surgeons has put together a summary of some of the provisions in the Bacchus bill, and if they don’t scare you, you don’t have an amygdala!
Here are some of the provisions that they hilight:
- Capitation will become the dominant mode of payment.
- Doctors would have to be a “Medicare-enrolled physician” to order services that would result in any cost to the Medicare program.
- Doctors will be penalized for going over budget, and no statistically valid samples will be used. At the same time, the cost of procedures and devices they order will be driven up by taxes.
- Doctors will be made to pay $350 each into a fund to pay for “screening” programs to cover unannounced and random site visits to check for “waste, fraud, and abuse.” Doctors may be prevented from practicing in a “fraud-prone” specialty, or required to put up a $500,000 surety bond.
The consequences of these provisions will have real human costs. People will die because of these provisions.
To make everyone equal, you’ve got to reduce them all to the lowest common denomenator….
You think everyone is happy up there in Canada, eh? Remember, you get what you pay for!
