Obama to GOP: “Stop trying to frighten the American people.”

Posted on 16 December 2009 by Mr. Harrington

This is idiotic.  Frankly, it’s the Liberals who are attempting to frighten the American people.

Bami actually said to the GOP, “Stop trying to frighten the American People.”

Are you serious?

Read

Now, that was December 9th.  It’s now the 16th and what does Bami do?

Fearmonger.

“If we don’t pass it, here’s the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you.  Potentially they’re going to drop your coverage, because they just can’t afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year.”

If the Healthcare bill doesn’t pass…“the federal government will go bankrupt.”

“Because if we don’t do this, nobody argues with the fact that health care costs are going to consume the entire federal budget.”

Read

Woah…who’s fearmongering now?

And…as a quick aside…

He said this the same day he signed a $1.1 Trillion spending bill…

Read

And the same day that the House approved a $155 Billion jobs bill…

Read

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE FIRST BILL FOR?  All the shovel ready jobs?!

I thought we already did this…

But to bring it all back…

When Bami says that the federal government will go bankrupt without the Health care bill, does he mean that they’ll stop spending?

UPDATE:  I forgot to mention…

The debt exceeds the debt limit…Good job, folks!

Pelosi is a Ninja!

Posted on 08 November 2009 by Mr. Enos

I don’t quite know what to say about this.

The House–the Democratic-controlled House–quietly passed their version of ObamaCare on Saturday, providing the beleaguered Obama administration a victory they could point to.

The bill was passed by an extremely close margin, 220-215, a 5 vote margin. The vote was passed by 219 Democrats and one Republican (Joseph Cao, a first-term Republican who holds a decidedly Democratic office in New Orleans) against a coalition comprised of 176 Republicans and 39 Democrats. So much for an era of bi-parsianship…

The bill will now move to the Senate were heavy debate is expected. Hopefully the senate won’t vote on the bill in the dark of night so they could sneak it by the public without anyone knowing.

How ’bout Hypocrisy Reform?

Posted on 29 September 2009 by Mr. Enos

So an entire summer of pissed off protesting wasn’t enough to get the point across… now supporters of Barry’s health care program–deserving of a death panel in its own right–are asking folks like you and me (well maybe not me) to submit 30 second videos to barackobama.com detailing why you support health care reform for their “Health Reform Video Challenge”.

So what do they want you to talk about? They tell you!

•  Personal stories: It’s hard to get more powerful than sharing a personal story about how the broken status quo has affected you and the ones you love.

•  The cost of inaction: There’s lots to cover about how spiraling costs are breaking the budgets of families, governments and businesses, and the high price we’ll all pay if we don’t act.

•  The opponents of reform: It’s amazing the levels some will stoop in order to score political points or protect their profits. This is your chance to call them out.

Man, nothing makes me want to call my representatives and tell them to mushroom the nation’s defect like a 30 second video from Penny Prius telling me a story about how her grandma died. Didn’t realize that appeals to emotion were logical forms of argument.

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

Thats right, folks there are fabulous prizes involved with this contest!

According to the official rules:

One winner will receive the following prize: all or part of the winner’s video may be used in a TV ad associated with DNC’s health reform campaign (approximate retail value: $0).

(emphasis added)

So… you get a prize worth ZERO dollars and the entire nation gets to see you on television calling people out for stooping “in order to score political points”, while the DNC trots you out to… score political points. And you would have consented to having your image and likeness broadcast on television for the purpose of… scoring political points.

Here’s a Harrington Report Top Tip: When recording your video, make sure your camera is positioned correctly so the DNC will be able to clearly see you and your moral high horse in the shot.

Don’t Have Health Insurance? Plan on Going to Jail

Posted on 25 September 2009 by Mr. Harrington

This is absolutely insane.

The Politico is reporting that Senator John Ensign received a handwritten note from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief Tom Barthold saying that “if there is a willful failure to file, pay, maintain appropriate records and the like…the taxpayer may be charged with a misdemeanor with a penalty of up to $25,000 and not more than one year in jail.”

Umm…hello?!  If you don’t have health insurance, you may be fined and go to jail!

Check out the note after the jump…

Patients Sentenced to Death Under Fascist Government Healthcare

Posted on 02 September 2009 by Mr. Harrington

This is sick, ladies and gentlemen.

The British healthcare system is sentencing people to death.  It’s called “The Liverpool Care Pathway.”  This “Pathway” is dangerous.

“Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.”

Well, no crap!  Of course if you take away their meds and fluids, they will die.

This comes on the heels of a recently released study, which said that one million patients have been subjected to cruelty.

Doctors look for certain signs that patients may be close to death, like unconsciousness or difficulty swallowing medication.

Folks, many times patients are heavily sedated…and many times those medications are like horse pills…

“If a patient is judged to still be able to eat or drink food and water will still be offered to them, as this is considered nursing care rather than medical intervention.”

Oh, how nice of them.  Humanitarian aid while they kill their patients…

The British Department of Health had this to say, “The Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) is an established and recommended tool that provides clinicians with an evidence-based framework to help delivery of high quality care for people at the end of their lives.”

Obama May Forgo Public Option

Posted on 01 September 2009 by Mr. Harrington

Folks, while this is a big victory, we still must keep a watchful eye.

Barack Obama has said the healthcare bill does not require a public option for his approval.  Obama’s senior advisor David Axelrod said,

“It’s time to synthesize and harmonize these strands and get this done. We’re confident that we can do that. But obviously it is a different phase. We’re going to approach it in a different way. The president is going to be very active.”

The Politico reports, “‘We have been saying all along that the most important part of this debate is not the public option, but rather ensuring choice and competition,” an aide said. “There are lots of different ways to get there.’”

Now, folks, they may not have a public option now, but if we let up, they will slowly bring about a fascist, socialized health care system.

Reid: Kennedy Death “Going to Help Us.”

Posted on 01 September 2009 by Mr. Harrington

Folks, in a stunning display of his Democratic insensitivity, Harry Reid said that the death of Senator Ted Kennedy would help the health care movement.

While he may be right, he shouldn’t be right.

The only bill that deserves the posthumous Kennedy name is one that allows for the will to live to be calculated into health care matters.  Kennedy’s will to live was just as great as any other American’s.  Why should he have the luxury of being allowed treatment at his advanced age of 77 for what proved to be terminal brain cancer, when hundreds, thousands, millions of Americans would have to forgo treatment because of rationed government care?  Adding his name to such a bill, or pretending he would have endorsed such a bill, does him, his death, and his name a disservice.

Obama Vacation: Day 1

Posted on 25 August 2009 by Mr. Harrington

So, on the first day of O-man’s vacation, Barack Obama and his cronies:

Announced a special prosecutor for the CIA interrogation investigation…

Announced that swine flu may kill 90,000 people and hospitalize 1.8 million.

And nominated Bernanke to a second term as Chair of Federal Reserve…

Folks, it’s all a smoke screen for healthcare.  Every time Barack tries to explain health care to the American people–off script, his approval rating and health care acceptance numbers plummet.

He and his handlers think that they will lay low and people will begin to focus on other issues–other than Obamacare, and his poll numbers will begin to rise.  This is what will happen if we forget what he is doing…

He is just going to stay out of the media for a while and see what happens…stay out of the media while still announcing things to pull our focus…

Obama and Dems to Drop Public Option? Nope! I Guess Not!

Posted on 16 August 2009 by Mr. Harrington

Folks, the fight seems to be working.  Yahoo! News is reporting that Barack Obama and the Democrats may, in fact, drop the “government run” heath insurance option in favor of a co-op system run by the members.

Read

The “Un-American” activities are working.  The people do not want government run healthcare coverage.  It is plain and simple, ladies and gentlemen.

And not only is it not wanted, according to Kathleen Sebelius, it isn’t necessary.

Bloomberg is reporting, “What’s important is choice and competition,” Sebelius said today on CNN’s “State of the Union.”  The public option itself “is not the essential element.”

Than for what purpose did they try and Rahm it down our throats?

Kent Conrad said, “There are not the votes in the Senate for the public option, there never have been.  To continue to chase that rabbit, I think, is just a wasted effort.”

Read

And, more importantly, you did not have the support of the people.

Check out the Article on Hot Air.

UPDATE: August 17, 2009:

Sorry, according to the White House, Kathleen Sebelius “misspoke.”

Linda Douglass Agrees with the first White House spokesperson, saying, “Nothing has changed.”

However, a third has broken from the ranks…

No one misspoke about the issue, “The media just misplayed it.”

Astroturf: Who is Really Laying Down Sod?

Posted on 15 August 2009 by Mr. Harrington

Folks, I was curious about people calling the health care protests “astroturf;” meaning, the protesters are recruited to be there by right-wing fringe leaders like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and, the mobfather himself, Rush Limbaugh.

But, people seem to be missing the point.  Nancy Pelosi, for example, called those asking questions of the Messiah “Un-American.”  But, in 2006, she said, “I’m a fan of disruptors.”

Check it out here.

Barack Obama said that those questioning him are being funded by Big Insurance…If only he had proof…

And he also blames the “ruckus” on “cable news.” Now, ladies and gentlemen, let’s not be dim here.  He means Fox News.

But, if it turns out these groups are getting marching orders from groups,–in the words of Rush Limbaugh–’bout damn time.

And I completely agree.  The aggressor sets the rules, folks.  The left-wing loons set a precedent for disruptive behavior, and to refer to the questioning of an elected official as “Un-American” is simply that.

Now, let’s take a look at the real astroturf.

Now, I must admit, I get my marching orders from MoveOn.org.  I receive their email…just so I can know what’s going on in the world outside of my God and Guns…

Here is part of an email from August 7, 2009:

Check it out–as well as just who is laying astroturf–after the jump…

Also, Sheila Jackson’s townhall: a complete SHAM…
