Healthcare Reform meets the Chicago Way Hey – you knew where he learned the ropes. What – you’re surprised?

Another version of Waterboarding, I guess you could call it. Is this Another Backroom Deal to Force Obama’s Bill Down the American People’s Throats? Looking more and more like Chicago to me, eh?

As a vote approaches on Obama and Pelosi’s government takeover of healthcare, Code Red is now considering two supposedly “undecided” California Democrats, Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa, to now be “yes” votes.

The U.S. Department of Interior announced yesterday that it is increasing water allocations for the Central Valley of California, a region that depends on these water allocations to support local agriculture and jobs. The region has recently been starved for water and as a result unemployment has soared. Not surprisingly, Cardoza and Costa had a hand in the announcement:

“Typically, Reclamation would release the March allocation update around March 22nd, but moved up the announcement at the urging of Senators Feinstein and Boxer, and Congressmen Costa and Cardoza.”(“Interior Announces Increased Water Supply Allocations in California,” U.S. Department of Interior news release, 3/16/10)

Will Cardoza and Costa come clean about this apparent backroom deal for their votes?

Call Cardoza’s district office at (209) 383-4455 and Costa’s district office at (559) 495-1620 and ask.

The nation’s Catholic bishops at the USCCB and individual bishops from across the country are speaking out in opposition to the pro-abortion health care bill. They say they would appreciate a bill to improve the nation’s health care system but they can’t support one that includes abortion funding and promotion.

Late Monday, Cardinal Francis George released a new statement titled “The Cost is too High; the Loss is too Great.”

“The Catholic Bishops of the United States have long and consistently advocated for the reform of the American health care system,” he said.

But they have also “urged that all who are sick, injured or in need receive necessary and appropriate medical assistance, and that no one be deliberately killed through an expansion of federal funding of abortion itself or of insurance plans that cover abortion.”

Cardinal George complained the Senate measure “expands federal funding and the role of the federal government in the provision of abortion procedures. In so doing, it forces all of us to become involved in an act that profoundly violates the conscience of many, the deliberate destruction of unwanted members of the human family still waiting to be born.”

There are a number of Democrats holding the line here – make sure they hear from you and let them know you have their support.

Remember the other evening when President Obama addressed Congress with his eleventy-th speech on health care? He was telling the nation that OF COURSE his proposed bill would not cover illegal aliens and undocumented workers.

Pshaw you say? Well, so did Congressman Joe Wilson, who in a ‘had it up to here’ moment shouted out to the President in the Chamber : “YOU LIE!”

People were aghast. Poor Joe had to end up apologizing to Obama.

Well, it turns out that Obama may be the one needing to issue an apology. “Upon Further Review” it appears that, oh shock!, the bill would INDEED cover illegals.

“The White House tonight is providing the below clarification on what the president’s health-care proposals would mean when it comes to the issue of illegal immigrants.

The question, as we all know, arises from the Wilson “You lie” outburst, and the core claim that notwithstanding specific bill language barring illegal immigrants from participating in the “exchange,” as a practical matter, there is no way of verifying the citizenship of applicants — which is the current state of play. Republicans say that then means illegal immigrants would end up being enrolled in plans — bill language or no bill language.

Today, for the first time as far as we know, the administration is backing a provision that would require proof of citizenship before someone could enroll in a plan selected on the exchange.

Here, the administration also concedes that hospitals would be compensated with public funds for the care of undocumented immigrants.”

Van Jones has resigned — as announced at midnight on a Saturday night before a holiday weekend.

Does that seem strange to anyone else?

Here’s the REAL importance of Van Jones’ resignation: it proves once and for all the genie is out of the bottle in terms of resistance to Dr. Utopia’s longerm plans for socialism in this nation.

The MSM refused to cover anything relating to Van Jones, because every crazy, racist, hateful thing this lunatic said is too reminiscent of all the crazy, racist, hateful things Jeremiah Wright said…and that Dr. Utopia, his wife, and Oprah Winfrey listened to and ate up for all those years at Trinity United.

Can’t report on Van Jones, and who he really is, without reporting on the similar beliefs held by Dr. Utopia, his “fashion icon” wife, and Lake Michigan’s own herds-of-cattle-devouring Charybdis, Oprah.

Can’t do that, now can they?

And yet — with no media coverage whatsoever — Van Jones was forced to resign, because people on the Internet caught wind of who he really was and conservatives and moderates stood up with outrage. Dr. Utopia was forced to backpedal on his plan to brainwash our nation’s school children into creepy, singing, Obots on National “Give Me Your Children” Indoctrination Day September 8th, because the blogosphere has been up in arms about his insistence of spending “quality Utopia Time” alone with small children he doesn’t know.

The Internet gaveth much to Dr. Utopia in his campaign…and now it taketh much from his presidency.

When Sarah Palin, private citizen, can take down the Liberals’ poorly conceived and amateurishly managed healthcare push USING ONLY SPORADIC POSTINGS ON FACEBOOK, despite the MSM’s best efforts to marginalize and destroy her, you know the MSM is officially irrelevant…a worthless propaganda arm of the rotting Democratic party.

The full scope of all this is not clear…but Van Jones is a turning point. It will be seen as such in time. Conservatives and moderates are mobilizing for the first time ever. They are banding together and defeating socialism, radicalism, and communism even with the MSM in full onslaught mode, working feverishly to protect Dr. Utopia.

THE MSM IS FAILING.

DR. UTOPIA IS FLAILING.

The tide is turning.

In the “How Stupid Do They Think We Are?” Department …….

On this weekend’s “This Week with George Stephanopolous,” Vice President Joe Biden said: “We misread how bad the economy was.”

He and Obama “misread” how bad the economy was?!

Pardon me, but weren’t they elected on the basis of their self-touted ability to manage the economy back to relative health? Didn’t they slam into Senator John McCain as inept on economic issues, as a man incapable of reading the economy and crafting appropriate policies to bring it back? Didn’t The Bama position himself as the Only One who could fix it? Didn’t he promise to deliver results, such as keeping unemployment to 8% if he were elected and his policies implemented?

And how.

And yet, here we are, at 9.5% unemployment and rising, home foreclosures at record levels and climbing, and multiple industries—including those which have received hundreds of billions of dollars in federal bailout money, from banks to the auto industry—in collapse and/or in bankrupcy.

The trillions of dollars The Bama and his socialist posse have already spent have accomplished absolutely nothing. In fact, all of this government intervention has made things worse.

The Biden says they “misread” how bad the economy was? You “misread” how many calories are in a Snickers bar. You don’t “misread” how bad the economy is…

“I STILL HATE YOU, SARAH PALIN!”

My son who is serving in Iraq emailed this gem to me this morning.
Don’t let the title fool you ………

This is a deadly serious attempt to realize the vision of the 1960s and to fundamentally transform the United States of America. This is the fusion of Communist dogma, high ideals, gangster tactics, and a stunning amount of self-loathing. For the first time in history, the patrician class is deliberately selling its own country down the river just to prove a point: that, yes, we can! This country stinks and we won’t be happy until we’ve forced you to admit it.

In other words, stop thinking of the Democratic Party as merely a political party, because it’s much more than that. We’re not just the party of slavery, segregation, secularism, and sedition. Not just the party of Aaron Burr, Boss Tweed, Richard J. Croker, Bull Connor, Chris Dodd, Richard Daley, Bill Ayers, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Emperor Barack Hussein Obama II. Not just the party of Kendall “Agent 202” Myers, the State Department official recruited as a Cuban spy along with his wife during the Carter administration. Rather, think of the Democratic Party as what it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.
