My employer, the Independence Institute, has released another great video. Find out in less than 90 seconds why Obama Care is like a game show you don't want to be a contestant on: I suppose introducing this video to you makes me "un-American" ... … [Read more...]
Obama Care Astroturfing
The Left has grown so mixed up in its own deceit and self-delusion -- as they try to distract from the substance of Obama Care's open door to socialized medicine and government rationing -- it's hard to know where to begin. How about trying to drive the meme that citizen protests against Obama Care are overwhelmingly corporate "astroturfing" (a phony grassroots movement). There are so many clear, pointed refutations I've come across that it seemed easier just to point them out to you here in a quick list format. If you can following the links, read all these and still continue to believe that the pro-liberty, anti-Obama Care crowd is guilty of "astroturfing" as much or more than the Left (show me the evidence), well, we won't mistakenly … [Read more...]
Complete Colorado: 200-300 Show Up to Ed Perlmutter Townhall Meeting
Update, 10:30 PM: People's Press Collective has released its first coverage (with plenty of telling photos) of the meeting in Brighton: Perlmutter "immediately went into a roped-off area of the portico, announced he’d be there for two hours, and then retreated to the even more isolated alcove with a half-dozen (apparent) constituents and bodyguards. At which point he was taunted by the non-Democrats in the crowd for being a coward for hiding in the portico — and yes, it was blatantly obvious that that is what he was doing: isolating himself in a controllable space so as to avoid having to interact with the crowd directly. While the crowd was vocal (on both sides) for the first 45 minutes or so, there were no obvious altercations, nor … [Read more...]
Sign of Obama Care Desperation: SEIU Thugs Dispatched to Townhall Events
Update: It's not the SEIU, but I just received an email from the AFL-CIO with the heading "Right-Wing Mobs in Brighton", saying "All across the country, a small group of radical right-wingers are intent on disrupting congressional town hall meetings in an all-out effort to stop real health care reform. We need your help now to make sure our voices are heard over the unruly mob." Only my fellow, freedom-loving citizens in Colorado's 7th Congressional District can help fulfill their expectations. Though we also can show them who is vocal but civil. You didn't think the Left was going to let members of Congress sit down and listen quietly to the very serious concerns of their constituents about the proposed government health care takeover … [Read more...]
Sitting Down with Dan Maes
I was pleased to have the opportunity this week to sit down for a half-hour one-on-one lunch meeting with Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes. It was a pleasant if too brief conversation. To sum up: The Evergreen businessman is unconventional for an unconventional candidate. What do I mean by that? Yes, he hasn't necessarily followed the traditional path toward a major party nomination for the state of Colorado's highest office. But he also brings a rare mixture of passion, confidence, humility, and realism to the contest. He is frank about the sacrifice his run has entailed for himself and his family, and I also believe him when he says he is deeply impelled to continue his quest for office. Pundits have all but written off … [Read more...]
Memo to My Fellow Mob: Stay Strong and Respectful Against Obama Care
Updated and brought to the top of the fold: Iowahawk makes the point much more effectively and much more humorously than I have. Please read ... and per usual, be sure to keep the liquids clear of the keyboard. [Update at bottom] A growing segment of the American public is angry and awakened about the Obama administration's sly attempt to socialize our nation's health care system. They're showing up to Congressional townhall meetings and expressing their displeasure. I am amused to watch the Left's increasingly unhinged reaction. The irony is so very rich, it's hard to capture it all. First, there's the Democratic National Committee going on the offensive calling you part of an orchestrated "mob" if you stand up vocally against … [Read more...]
White House Lost in Alternate Reality about Public Views on Obama Care
The Left's desperation on the health care debate clearly extends all the way to the White House. Not just asking for informants, but creating an alternate reality. A source forwarded me an email she received from "info@barackobama.com" that sets the stage as follows: … [Read more...]
Breaking News: Blogger El Presidente Announces U.S. Senate Non-Candidacy
(Satire Warning) Breaking news... El Presidente releases an important campaign-related announcement this morning: He is NOT running for the U.S. Senate in 2010. I heartily endorse El Presidente's non-candidacy. And for the three of my readers out there who might be wondering, yours truly is still carefully weighing the possibility of opening an exploratory committee to enter the six1,013,476-way GOP primary. Stay tuned.... … [Read more...]
Challenge Your Member of Congress on Obama Care at Townhall Meeting
After you go to the Hands Off My Health Care Bus Tour, don't forget to show up to a townhall meeting with your Congressional Representative -- Democrat or Republican -- to share your views and ask the tough questions about Obama Care. For those who like me live in Colorado's 7th Congressional District, there's one scheduled meeting with Democrat Congressman Ed Perlmutter:Aug 08, 2009 Time: 1:00PM Title : Government in the Grocery (1:00-3:00pm) King Soopers 500 Bromley Lane Brighton, CO 80601 That's this Saturday in the remote outstretches of the gerrymandered district. Perhaps Perlmutter's staff will agree to host meetings in Aurora and on the west side of Denver (Lakewood / Wheat Ridge / Arvada), too. At least we can hope for … [Read more...]
Reporting Presidential Disinformation on Health Care and Cap-and-Tax
From Red State, the uncut video showing what Obama wants to do to your private health insurance: Does this qualify as "disinformation" from the President's own lips? Someone should report him, or me, to the White House. Makes you wonder if the White House is also going to start collecting reports of "disinformation" on the cap-and-trade energy tax issue, too. After all, the Washington Times reports that a new study from the U.S. Department of Energy refutes The One's claims that cap-and-tax "holds the promise of millions of new jobs -- jobs, by the way, that can't be outsourced." ... Is that something fishy I smell? Someone may have to report the U.S. Department of Energy, too. … [Read more...]
