Crazy Right Wingers Hang Obama In Effigy….Wait, It Was A Teacher?

By William Teach March 20, 2010 – 10:31 am

Just imagine, if you will, that it was a right leaning group that did this

A teacher at a failing school where he and all his colleagues are being fired hung an effigy of President Barack Obama in his classroom, apparently in reaction to Obama’s support of extreme measures to ensure accountability in schools.

The teachers union on Thursday condemned the effigy, discovered Monday in the teacher’s third-floor classroom at Central Falls High School, saying it was wrong and cannot be condoned under any circumstances.

Can we blame the TEA Party? Oh, that would mean actually putting the story out in the big MSM, and since most teachers tend to be liberals, that would look bad.

The president of the Central Falls Teachers Union, Jane Sessums, said in a written statement that the teacher, whose name wasn’t disclosed, hung the doll “as part of what he described as a lesson plan.”

A lesson in how liberals are violent?

Sessums said the teacher who hung the effigy verbally apologized to his students and asked Gallo if he could also apologize in writing.

“He understands that his actions affect not just his students but all of us,” she wrote. “There is no excuse for what he did.”

Everyone sing Kumbaya, have a Coke, and have a good group cry. Sheesh. Man up, people. Sticks and stones, names.

Of course, had the teacher been on the right, his name would have been released, and it would have been all about those crazy-dangerous righties, rather than it being about a single bad apple.

The American Thinker: It may seem odd that an Obama doll could be hanging in a classroom for about a week without being noticed by one of the students, but after a quick review of Central Falls High School’s academic performance it makes perfect sense. How many of the estimated 100 students would actually have had occasion to look at the white board in any given week? How many of the young scholars who looked at the board would have noticed the Obama doll hanging there? How many of these future leaders would have recognized that the doll was a representation of Mr. Obama? And finally, how many of these core democrat voters could actually read the sign on the doll?

If The Health Bill Is Just So Darned Super Wonderful………

By William Teach March 20, 2010 – 7:53 am

Why do we need bribes, threats, and possibly illegal emails?

Undecided Democrats are being promised campaign perks and lucrative committee assignments. They are being threatened with decreased fund-raising support, primary opponents and the loss of committee chairmanships. President Barack Obama has even lobbied members one-on-one aboard Air Force One.

The White House Office of Health Reform Director Nancy-Ann DeParle has been feverishly sending out unsolicited email messages to federal employees in an effort to build support for President Barack Obama’s health reform package over the last several weeks.

DeParle’s unsolicited emails have been regularly coming to some federal employees’ official government email inboxes for weeks without permission or request, causing some federal employees to feel threatened by the overt political language. (WT – this could be considered a means of creating a hostile work environment, which is illegal)

The ranking member of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee is opening an investigation into the “secret deals” that the White House and Democrats made with various healthcare stakeholders.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) sent letters today to six organizations asking them what agreements, if any, they made with the Obama administration in exchange for their support of (or lack of opposition to) healthcare reform.

And let’s not forget what is important to Obama, and it is not a 3 letter word (j-o-b-s)

On no other issue has President Obama put in as much effort and displayed as much passion as on health care.

Since launching his campaign for health care reform with a White House forum on March 5th of last year, Mr. Obama has delivered 54 speeches and statements on the issue.

That is out of 471 speeches since taking office 424 days ago. Why the need to speachify so much if the legislation is so super duper wonderful? Whatever happened to jobs and the economy being the #1 priority?

If it is so great, why are States already planning lawsuits? Why are there threats of lawsuits over the individual mandate? Legal challenges over “deem and pass“? If Democrats thought the process was ugly prior to any passage, just wait and see if it actually passes. Feels like 1776

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;…..

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Obama Admits (Again) That Health Reform Plan Is All About Him

By William Teach March 19, 2010 – 4:52 pm

Yes, it is actually reform, in the dictionary form. Not all reform is good. Ask the people of the Soviet Union prior to the wall falling, or the people in North Korea, or Hitler’s Germany. But, while not all reform is good, everything is definitely About Obama

Staging a spectacular political spectacle in liberal Northern Virginia — complete with thousands of starstruck college students screaming “We love you!” — the president said nobody really knows “what’s going to happen with the politics on this thing” — aka health care reform and the showdown House vote set for Sunday.

“I don’t know whether my poll numbers go down, they go up. I don’t know what happens in terms of Democrats versus Republicans,” he said. “What does this mean in November? What does it mean to the poll numbers? Is this more of an advantage for Democrats or Republicans? What’s it going to mean for Obama? Will his presidency be crippled, or will he be the comeback kid?”

Having (unfortunately) listened to this same exchange on TV earlier (since I was writing a post at the time, I thought I had somehow switched to a channel featuring a preacher), he said this in relation to the way the media, and we all know who he meant, was discussing this issue. Hey, chump: it’s called politics! The media discusses this. That said, it does show that Obama is considering how this affects him.

Oh, and hey, remember how liberals howled about unhinged lefties being hauled out of Bush and McCain rallies? I wonder how they will react when it is someone who just wants to be heard

But another woman was not greeted so warmly. Above and behind the president, she yelled … something, clearly in opposition to the plan. The small woman was quickly removed by a police officer who put her in a headlock and dragged her out.

BTW, just for clarity, the article I am citing really should be on the editorial pages of the Washington Times. I hate when the left leaning media puts articles that seem more opinion on the regular pages, and do not like the same from the WT.

Meanwhile, Big Government has an interesting story on the way elected officials attempt to treat We The People who have a difference of opinions. Included are snotty staffers, threats, and a visit from the Capital Police.

Why Are Obama And The Dems Incompetent? Climate Change!

By William Teach March 19, 2010 – 10:00 am

This is so cute. Reuters allows Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, a U.S.-based environmental activist organization, to pen an amusing editorial, which, like so many others from climate alarmists, is long on alarmism, and short on reality and science. The best quote is

Indeed, climate change has begun to affect the ability of government agencies to fulfill their missions, reports the White House Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force.

Of course, there is not one instance of this occurring in the actual article, but, hey, it could explain the pure incompetence of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. Can’t pass the health care bill? It’s because climate change is causing mental illness problems with the American People. Have to limit debate on legislation? It’s because the Congress critters are suffering from malnutrition and depression. Obama insulting the British leaders, people, press, and the Queen? Alligators in the Thames from climate change.

Continuing

“The Task Force has found that climate change is affecting, and will continue to affect, nearly every aspect of our society and the environment,” the report states. “Some of the impacts are increased severity of floods, droughts, and heat waves, increased wildfires and sea level rise.

“Climate change impacts are pervasive, wide-ranging and affect the core systems of our society: transportation, ecosystems, agriculture, business, infrastructure, water, and energy, among others,” the report continues. “Climate change already is affecting the ability of Federal agencies to fulfill their missions.”

Sounds more like a way to show that the federal government should take over nearly every aspect of our society.

Media Tries Projection Over 11 Year Old Sob Story

By William Teach March 19, 2010 – 8:48 am

One of the important things to understand about Lefties is that no matter what happens, they think in terms of how they would act/think. They are unable to stretch their sheepled minds out to understand that what happened is something different from what they themselves would do. Therefore, they end up projecting quite a bit. Case in point

State of the health care debate: Talk radio attacks an 11-year old

Conservative talk show hosts and columnists have ridiculed an 11-year-old Washington state boy’s account of his mother’s death as a “sob story” exploited by the White House and congressional Democrats like a “kiddie shield” to defend their health care legislation.

Marcelas Owens, whose mother got sick, lost her job, lost her health insurance and died, said Thursday he’s taking the attacks from Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Michelle Malkin in stride.

While Les Blumenthal almost gets it right in the story, that the account was ridiculed, the headline is pure projection, since that is exactly what Liberals would do in that situation: make it personal and attack the messenger, rather than the message. Attacking the message is exactly what Rush, Glenn, and Michelle did.

“These are adults, and he is an 11-year-old boy who lost his mother,” Gina Owens said. “They should be ashamed.”

No, Ma’am, you and the Democrats should be ashamed for using the 11 year old as a kiddie shield. If you put someone up there with a sob story, and something doesn’t jibe, expect the message to be attacked.

“Now this is unseemly, exploitative, an 11-year-old boy being forced to tell his story all over just to benefit the Democrat Party and Barack Obama,” Limbaugh said on March 12, according to a transcript his show. “And, I would say this to Marcelas Owens: ‘Well, your mom would still have died, because Obamacare doesn’t kick in until 2014.’”

Beck, according to a transcript of his March 15 show, pointed out that Owens’ recent trip to Washington was paid for by Healthcare of America, a group that has been lobbying for a health care overhaul.

“That’s the George Soros-funded Obama-approved group fighting for health care,” Beck said. “Since all of the groups are so concerned and involved now, may I ask where were you when Marcelas’ mother was vomiting blood?”

Malkin dismissed Marcelas Owens as “one of Obama’s youngest lobbyists” who has been “goaded by a left-wing activist grandmother,” promoted by Murray and has become a regular on the “pro-Obamacare circuit.”

Did anyone see an attack on on Marcelas? Me neither, because the attacks were on the Democrats use of Marcelas as a prop, a favorite trick of Democrats when they know their POV is complete bunk. The message has been attacked. Democrats, put in the same position as the Republicans, would simply attack the messenger, not the message, as they have done with Joe The Plumber, Sarah Palin, and so many others. But, then, we do not use people, particularly children and the dead, as props.

Awwww, poor Joe Gandelman at the Moderate Voice (snicker) is all upset about this, shows his own projection, writes that he refuses to listen to talk radio, instead, listening to “moderate” stations like NPR, CNN, and the BBC.

If memory serves, there is some other group which uses women and children as human shields. Which one was it?

Dems Vote For Slaughter, Against Our Constitution (Lilly Allen Provides The Democrat Explanation)

By William Teach March 18, 2010 – 5:22 pm

I guess this is what they consider an “up or down vote” (via Michelle Malkin, who has the vote count)

Democrats shot down a Republican effort to force an up-or-down vote on the Senate healthcare bill on Thursday afternoon.

In a 222-203 vote, Democrats beat back a GOP resolution offered by Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Parker Griffith (Ala.) that would have forced lawmakers to vote on the Senate healthcare bill separately from the series of fixes they hope to make to that legislation.

All Republican lawmakers who voted opposed the measure, which had the effect of ending the GOP’s effort to force a vote. They were joined by 28 Democrats, who broke with party members on the vote.

Remember a time not too long ago when Democrats shrieked daily about Bush and the GOP shredding the Constitution? Yet, here the Dems are on record actually and in reality doing just that.

Ace: “I am getting really worried, because if 222 Democrats voted for this unconstitutional, very-unpopular maneuver, doesn’t that mean that all 222 will also vote for the bill itself? Why vote for this if you’re not going to vote for that?”

Jim Hoft: GOOD-BYE REPUBLIC… HELLO TINPOT DICTATORSHIP…..55% of the country oppose Obamacare - 35% approve of the democratic bill.

Cassy Fiano: Constitution butchers win; Slaughter solution passes

Q&O: If they pass it through “deem and pass”, we’ll essentially have become a Banana Republic. (they did)

The American Pundit: House Democrats have officially abandoned the Constitution and facade of legislative process

The Sundries Shack: Today is a big day, folks. It is, as I tweeted not long ago, the day one of our political parties selected totalitarianism over our Constitution. It is also the day when the message “shut up and take what we give you” became the official motto of the Democratic Party.

John Boehner: “Today, House Democrats voted to protect themselves instead of their constituents, who are fed up with the lack of accountability and transparency in Washington. The ‘Slaughter Solution’ is nothing more than an incumbent protection program for Democrats afraid to stick their necks out because they know how much the American people oppose this bill. Speaker Pelosi, who promised to lead the ‘most open, most honest, and most ethical’ Congress in history, gave rank-and-file Democrats a chance to pass this job-killing monstrosity without actually voting on it and they jumped at the opportunity.

Oh, and regarding the CBO scoring of ObacistCare, R.S. McCain writes: It’s like a fat chick wearing a black skirt because she thinks it makes her look skinny.

Woah! AP Fact Checks Obama On Health Premiums, Says “Liar!”

By William Teach March 18, 2010 – 9:30 am

I wonder if the White House will now start assaulting the Associated Press for daring to stand up and say “liar!”

Buyers, beware: President Barack Obama says his health care overhaul will lower premiums by double digits, but check the fine print.

Premiums are likely to keep going up even if the health care bill passes, experts say. If cost controls work as advertised, annual increases would level off with time. But don’t look for a rollback. Instead, the main reason premiums would be more affordable is that new government tax credits would help cover the cost for millions of people.

Listening to Obama pitch his plan, you might not realize that’s how it works.

Liar! And where will all that money come from for those tax credits? Oh, right, taxes on the rich, meaning, “you get a paycheck? You’re rich.” Rather than money being spread around the economy through people and companies purchasing items, it will go straight to the government coffers. Then the government can say “hey, you want that tax credit? You have to purchase one of our government approved health insurance plans.”

Simple solutions: cross-state purchasing, nationwide pooling, and health savings accounts (which reduce costs by causing people to think twice about running off to the ER because they have the flu, instead of going to their pharmacy. Yes, a bit more complicated than that. HSAs work best as behavior modifiers.) Personally, I have no problem with legislation that tells insurers that they cannot drop people who get sick and have been paying their premiums.

BTW, the AP settles an issue from the other day, vis a vis Obama’s 3,000% gaffe

A White House press spokesman later said the president misspoke; he had meant to say annual premiums would drop by $3,000.

A report for the Business Roundtable, an association of big company CEOs, was the source for the claim that employers could save $3,000 per worker on health care costs, the White House said.

You know how they can save that money? They dump their health insurance offers, pay the fine, and tell their employees to have fun in the Exchange. Companies, per the Senate bill, could save $4k-$10k per year per employee.

Exotic Vacation Spot Of Cancun Will Host Next UN Climate Alarmist Meeting

By William Teach March 18, 2010 – 8:19 am

If you thought “hey, maybe they will do it in someplace boring, which could use an economic lift, and wouldn’t show that the UN uses these conferences as taxpayer funded vacations,” well, no Thirsty Thursday for you!

Government negotiators are already writing off chances for a global treaty to fight climate change, nine months before the annual talks begin in Cancun, Mexico.

Yes, the big UN conference will be in the exotic vacation spot of Cancun. Oh, and did you catch that part about it already being written off?

Kunihiko Shimada, principal international negotiator at the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, said a deal this year is “almost impossible.” Jos Delbeke, who spearheads European Union climate policy at the European Commission, ruled out a “comprehensive legal agreement” in 2010.

Their remarks call into question whether efforts to curb greenhouse-gas emissions are progressing after failing in Copenhagen in December. President Barack Obama’s energy proposal is bogged down in the U.S. Congress. Without a U.S. commitment, China and India, two of the fastest-growing polluters, may be reluctant to limit greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

So, question: if it is already set up for failure, why have it? Oh, that’s right: exotic vacation spot of Cancun. The alarmist conference was originally meant to be held in Mexico City. Mexico City’s mayor also points out that Cancun is “nice and warm, but not very green.”

Elsewhere:

  • The Hockey Schtick: Arctic has still not received the memo on AGW – Arctic temperatures stable since 1958
  • Telegraph: Climategate: two more bricks fall out of the IPCC wall of deceit – rainforests and polar bears
  • Yid With Lid: Latest Global Warming Fear, Massive Build-up of Microbe Flatulence
  • Tom Nelson: Rasmussen: 72% of American voter don’t believe global warming is a “very serious problem”
