Marxists Sure Can Dish-it-Out... but Can They Take It?

POWER BLOGS of the Resurgent Right!



Riehl World View: Dan Riehl's impressive investigation of moral black-hole Jesse Griffin continues. Like everybody else, I thought it was a pretty amazing piece of citizen-journalism when he put-against-the-wall this Alaskan lib blogger who spread false rumors about Sarah Palin- then went-on to discover what a prolific liar and comprehensive weirdo he was (and is).

But now that Dan discovered the guy's whole personal narrative was a sham, there's a whole lot more to this story as it continues to evolve... it seems like the trail from this anti-Palin kindergarten-creep just might reach quite a bit higher in the Democratic party... like all the way up.

Another Black Conservative: Clifton reviews and presents the new Trust Common Sense TV ad out of the National Republican Trust PAC






► No Sheeples Here: Carol at NSH did a brief-yet-excellent post entitled "The Obsolete Man... Refusing to Let the Soul of America Die"- a must-read for all well-informed patriots.

American Thinker: Pamela Gellar tries to make sense of the crazy-equivalency and upside-down world of today's Democrats... were patriotism is dangerous, heroes are "terrorists", and we're always told that there's something wrong with all we hold dear...

Moonbattery: this most entertaining of blogs touched-upon how Barack Obama has lost independent/moderate voters at an incredible rate... a -19% swing in just one month. Van's mission at MB is to help us all keep tabs on the myriad, out-of-control statist moonbats currently taking a wrecking-ball to this country and society... as well as others.
Down Under, on the Right Side: Australian conservative ally "MK" offers-up an interesting view from the 6th continent on why in his view Americans are Right to Fear Socialized Health Care-

The Founding Bloggers: A look at the assinine implications coming from the Left and other embittered class-warriors that somehow doctors, hospitals, and clinics are all evil because they expect to be allowed to make a profit and maintain a viable enterprise... no, Barack's not a Bolshevik- of course not

1961 Reagan Speech Tells You ALL You Need to Know About ObamaCare


The Gipper's wisdom is utterly timeless... and the truths he uncovered that converted him from a Truman Democrat to a Goldwater Republican are more relevant today than ever. Ronald Reagan was a man of moral clarity and common sense... unlike many politicians today, he truly understood what made this country great and exceptional- and what was a threat to it, too. 

It is hard to listen to this 10-minute speech and not think Reagan was talking about the roaring ObamaCare debate- sure sounds like it. Note when he mentions how the most likely way for the Left to sneak socialism in through the back door is through nationalized health care...




Obama Peddling a "Hunk Of Junk"


Here's an intriguing angle on the swirling ObamaCare debate from fellow patriot and Certified-Fishy conservative blogger Carol at No Sheeples Here (link)... on how Barack Obama reminds her of a used-car salesman (overseas readers... this is not a complement, LOL).

And perhaps she's not the only one who's reminded of a shady, pinky-ring-wearing lot lizard when subjected to Obama's disingenuous ObamaCare speil... as Americans are starting to turn against this ill-advised legislation in droves...

Many people won’t go near a used car lot for fear of being ripped off. The shady used car salesman still remains the measuring stick for all professions that are frowned upon. Society views used car salesmen as sleazy shysters who will do whatever it takes to get you into a hunk of junk....

Patriots Surround ACORN Bus: "DON'T COME BACK!"


T
he Gateway Pundit just put up some video of angry Pennsylvanian patriots surrounding busloads of ACORN Astroturf squads who were schlepped-in to support politically-feeble, sniveling turncoat Senator Arlen Specter.


The crowd chanted "Get a REAL job"... and "Don't come back!" as the busses made a b-line for the expressway... gotta love it:






HotAirPundit has more video of the ACORN busses here

Pg 195 Officers and employees of HC Admin (Govt) will have full access to ALL Americans financial and personal records- nice, huh?
Pg 170 Lines 1-3 Any NON-RESIDENT Alien is exempt from indivual taxes. (while actual Americans will have to pay- or face penalties)

Pg 146 Lines 22-25 Employers MUST pay for HC for part time employees AND their families.
Pg 145 Line 15-17 An Employer MUST auto-enroll employees into public option plan... there is to be NO CHOICE.
Pg 129 The public option will be heavily subsidized, with the credits coming from YOUR tax dollars... yet another stealthy redistribution of wealth.
Pg 127 Lines 1-16Doctors – the Govt will tell YOU what you are allowed to make... this after 12 years of medical school!
Pg 126 lines 10-15The Govt can make-up prices for anything- at anytime- and for any reason.

Pg 119 HC Bill Lines 1-3 Establishes geographically-adjusted premiums/rates for the public option- based on ACORN census numbers, of course.

Pg 59 HC Bill lines 21-24 Govt will have direct access to your bank accounts for EFTs- great

Pg 42 Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC Benefits for you... you have no choice in the matter.
Pg 37 Sec 132 The Govt will be reviewing grievances about themselves... and will decide on appeals for rejected claims. Expect the same result as Obama's "internal investigation" into who on his staff may have been talking to Blagojevich... what a charade.
