REVOLUTION BREWING - August 28 Sacramento Tea Party

Here it comes big government and statists. The power will shift back from the corrupt institutions to the people. Give up your struggle to dominate and control "We the People."

"Stand Up" Tea Party Song

By Bruce Bellott, who has been chosen to sing this song at 9-12 Tea Party Rally in DC.

 

Last line, "... help us throw all the bums out"

Interesting ... a Car Lotto

Here's how the National Car-Lotto works: $1 tickets are sold nationwide every week. We take the average price of every model sold by GM, Ford, and Chrysler-say that is $25,000, with taxes, tag, dealer fees and extended warranties included. For every 25,000 tickets sold, one lucky winner gets the American-made car of his or her choice with all the additional fees covered and no tax liability until they sell or trade their win. 

With an advertising blitz on radio, TV, newspapers and the web, our big three could raffle off thousands of cars every week-30,000 cars is a reasonable goal, each one paid in full upfront with the lotto money. 

Everybody wins! Consumers get the car of their choice-a youngster in school might want a Ford Focus, someone else a Chrysler Sebring convertible, a family of five, a GM Hybrid Yukon. Regardless, each car comes fully loaded! The American public-not the White House-decides which manufacturers survive and thrive.

Tea Party Brooks Bros. Brigade (Photo)

The uber-leftists are labeling the average American Tea Party citizens who show up at August Congressional "Town Hell" meetings as the Brooks Bros. Brigade.

Here is photographic proof that these citizens who are opposed to government takeover of health care do not regularly shop at Brooks Bros.

Common sense health care solutions from Pawlenty

Full transcript from Fox News, July 28, 2008.

Greta Van Susteren interviewing Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN)

VAN SUSTEREN: All right, so you tell Congress, you know, Dump this one. What's your suggestion? What would you like to see happen, Governor?

PAWLENTY: Greta, there's a number of common sense things that we could do on a bipartisan basis to move this country forward on much-needed health care reform. They include these things. First of all, let's get rid of junk lawsuits and make sure we have medical malpractice reform. That will save some money.

Number two, let's ban or prohibit people from ruling out people from being insured because of preexisting conditions. Let's make sure we have insurance that's portable, that you can take it from job to job or circumstance to circumstance. Let's incentivize e-prescribing and e- medical records to create efficiency. Let's create pay-for-performance, rather than pay for volumes of procedure. If you pay for volumes of procedure, you're going to get more procedures.

Let's fix our tax code so that if you buy insurance individually, you're not at a disadvantage compared to people who buy it through their employment circumstance. Let's allow people to buy insurance across state lines or form risk pools across state lines, and much more.

But everybody should at least be able to agree on those things, and they would save a lot of money. That would be real reform.

Libery Spuds says, "When leftists say the right does not offer any plans or solutions ... well, you've now been informed."

Why the left is going bonkers this August

This short article reveals why the leftists are rapidly losing the government takeover of health care debate.

The strategic work-around against the Alinsky-type community organizer tactic is not to have a "leader" to vilify, then isolate.  (See Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh for example.)

 

In an earlier post, back in March, I expounded upon this natural occurring tactic.

Another Congressman gets the "Silent No More" treatment from voters

In this video, U.S. Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY) holds a townhall meeting in Setauket, NY. Tea Party protesters sternly address their congressman and his support for massive gov't expansion. As you watch this short video, U.S. Senator Dirk Durbin's shameful Alinsky-type quote that these protesters are "hired by big insurance" is debunked.

I am getting reports that during this August recess some congresscritters are not holding ANY open meetings during the break. More on that later ...

Actually, the GDP is plunging. (Statist media alert!)

This graph tell the story of Gross Domestic Product in constant dollars in its Year-over-Year change.

Those in the statist media and government are trying to tell you the recession is over. Bull-oney!

Oops! Confused Obamacare with Cash for Clunkers

I confused Obamacare for Cash for Clunkers and traded in my Grandmother for $4500!! At least she will receive the appropriate "end of health care" government counseling. Go-Granny-Go!

Gov't stalls "Cash for Clunkers," Video explains why

The fed/gov suspends the very popular "Cash for Clunkers" program. This short news clip video does a good job of explaining why the gov't program is failing.

This fed/gov program is the ominous harbinger of bureaucratic confusion that will accompany your health care, should the government take it over.

The government is very familiar with getting ripped off. They install complex rules and forms, etc. to try and block the fraud. In short ask yourself: "Who gets ripped off more ... government or insurance companies?"

Private Citizen Ronald Reagan on Gov't Takeover of Health Care (1961)

When Ronald Reagan recorded this Coffee Cup Campaign speech in 1961, he was a private citizen; just like Sarah Palin!

Reagan explains the loss-of-liberty consequences should government takeover our health care. History is repeating itself ... again.

Prof. Gates: Ungrateful clod

Hot-headed Harvard elitist Henry Louis Gates Jr. demonstrated that he doesn't have the temperament to appreciate what happened the night he was arrested.

 

The fact is an officer responded to a call that a house might be in the process of being looted.

 

It takes a lot of training to know how walk into such a situation and still be able to go home after one's police shift and see your wife and kids.  This happens everyday across the land.

 

But the bone-headed professor who has spent his life studying "race," missed and rejected a perfect opportunity.

 

Why didn't the "good" professor simply THANK the officer for responding to the call and for protecting his property?

 

Given the professor's actions, he should never complain about slow and delayed police responses in other areas of the country.

 

Apologize NOW Mr. Harvard elitist, Henry Louis Gates Jr.

 

Finally, comedian Chris Rock produced a hilarious video titled: "How not to get your ass kicked by the police!"

 

In that video, Rock advises one to, "be polite," something Gates refused to do.

Health Rations and YOU!

Confused about why health rations are the rational choice? We at the Health Administration Bureau have created a nifty video that will address all of your concerns!

"I Need a Bailout" Song/Video

Here is a quick video song for your pleasure:

Sotomayor: Nope, she's dopey

Click here for an excellent article arguing against confirming Sotomayor to SCOTUS.

 

It is a quick read.  Her underwhelming legal acumen is concisely dissected.

A man is a boy, is a dog, is a bug

"A man is a boy, is a dog, is a bug," or some such famous nonsense was said by a ding-a-ling enviro mental-case activist.

Another Margaret Sanger type "nature above man" eugenicist was asked if a grizzly attacked his son, would he shoot the grizzly? He replied that it is more important that the bear live. <Thanks, Dad! Does your coffee taste bitter?>

A recent bear mauling in E. Idaho just across the border from Yellowstone Park has generated numerous "man is the problem" news and blogger reports.

Here are a couple samples:

Bear Found, and it's OK

Grizzly that Attacked Hound Hunter Found Alive and Well with Her 3 Cubs

And, to round off my point, in one of the same blogs right below the "bear better than man" post comes:

Enviros back (pro-abort) Sotomayor for Supreme Court

Why is it that few if any of these earth worshippers don't volunteer to purge themselves to protect the planet; or reject the man-made, earth-scaring, pollution generating mining of metals that are used in the production of modern day dentistry tools?

Talk to the hand ...

Did Aliens breed leftist politicians in 1947?

Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico .

This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born: Albert A. Gore, Jr., Hillary Rodham, John F. Kerry, William J. Clinton, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Charles E. Schumer and Barbara Boxer.

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses?

I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me.

No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!

Now You Know!

Hat Tip:  Bits & Pieces

I Love this Doctor (Real Health Care Reform)

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ..... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans ! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember: 'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'

AND..... For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Gov't program Hope for Homeowners: FAIL

Another example of socialistic (read: statist) programs that sound grrrreat, but as usual, FAIL:

 

Nor are the "programs" trotted out by Obama (and his predecessor, to be fair) doing anything.  We recently learned that "Hope for Homeowners" made a grand total of..... wait for it..... 51 loans.

FIFTY ONE?  No, that is not a misprint:

Senior federal housing officials say that of 51 loans made under the program, 50 were made by Melville, N.Y.-based Lend America, and those 50 loans are being held up pending ongoing federal investigations. The officials, who insisted on anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on the matter, declined to offer specifics except to say anything from inadequate documentation to unethical practices could be the focus of the queries.

Remember, "Hope for Homeowners" was supposed to help four hundred thousand people stay in their homes.

The net closed loan count is fifty one over a period of six months.

Oh, and the reason for that article?  The company responsible for 50 of the 51 loans is under investigation by The Department of Justice!
