Prog Talking Point Deconstruction provided by Sarah Palin.

IPAB is a panel of 15 unelected and unaccountable government bureaucrats that would essentially allocate Medicare funds, deciding on which specific care and medical proceedure to approve or reject. In order for the decision that the 15 bureaucrats that sit on the IPAB board make to be overturned, Congress would have to have a supermajority vote. Something that isn’t likely to happen very often.
Further prog deconstruction.   If “Death Panels” do not exist then why would a bi-partisan congressional committee be voting recently to eliminate them? (more…)

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

Any attempt to justify the firing of Sanford Police Chief, Bill Lee, in any form other than admitting it to be self-serving political interest, and short-sighted racist appeasement, is political correctness run amok.     You can’t pick up that turd by the clean end, period.
If you have followed this case, and actually read the accompanying research, you would admit as such with intellectual, albeit uncomfortable, honesty.  Chief Lee is being cast aside, blamed, ridiculed, obfuscated and sacrificed in the same manner, by the same people, for the exact same reason, as those who attack George Zimmerman himself.

[Hattip Sharon] There’s not much more I can say about Prez SCOAMF’s actions, here. Well, actually, there’s a lot I can say, but it would inevitably end with me frothing at the mouth and chewing the furniture, and fixing that sort of damage is out of my budget right now. . .

The claim is that a decision by the Obama administration put a political speech meant to bolster his chances at re-election, above the desires, traditions and practices of many Vietnam-era military members and their families, who have been coming together at The Wall on Memorial Day for decades, now. No notice was given regarding the closing due to Obama’s decision to use The Wall as backdrop in his Memorial Day speech.
Sources insist it remained closed for hours, until most simply grew frustrated and went away. For decades, individuals have been coming together there on Memorial Day to perform simple acts and observances in keeping with America’s established Memorial Day tradition.

As the man says, read it all. It’ll make you cry and want to engage in some manner of destructive activity. Also see Thoughts From a Conservative Mom’s Blog.

Prepare yourself.  The fight against the Left-Wing Orcs is gonna get ugly.  Real Ugly.  The first battle is Wisconsin. 

(WSJ) — Public-employee unions in Wisconsin have experienced a dramatic drop in membership — by more than half for the second-biggest union — since a law championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker sharply curtailed their ability to bargain over wages and working conditions.
Now with Mr. Walker facing a recall vote Tuesday, voters will decide whether his policies in the centrist state should continue — or whether they have gone too far.  The election could mark a pivot point for organized labor.  (more)

JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, May 31, 2012 — Five months ahead of the presidential election, the Democratic Party is already losing seats to Republicans, as a growing number of elected officials are changing parties over issues like the right to life, the definition of marriage, and the Obama administration’s mandate that religious institutions cover abortion-inducing drugs in their health care plans.
Wednesday afternoon, seven local office-holders from three Mississippi counties announced they had voted with their feet.
Each official had different reasons, but Leake County Sheriff Greg Waggoner “specifically said when [Obama] came out in favor of gay ‘marriage,’ that was the last straw,” Brett Kittredge, communications director of the Mississippi Republican Party, told LifeSiteNews.com.
“I’m a Christian, and my first allegiance is to Jesus Christ,” Sheriff Waggoner said. “God established marriage, and He established it between a man and a woman. Those are my beliefs. The Republican Party reflects my beliefs.” (more…)

Speechless….  “Gendercide”

(Life News)  The investigative pro-life group Live Action, which has released videos exposing the abuses at the Planned Parenthood abortion business across the country, has released a new video today showing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Austin, Texas encouraging a woman to get a sex-selection abortion.
The video shows a Planned Parenthood staffer encouraging the woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is the first in a new series titled “Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America,” that Live Action tells LifeNews will be exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb.
“I see that you’re saying that you want to terminate if it’s a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime?” a Planned Parenthood counselor named “Rebecca” offers the woman, who is purportedly still in her first trimester and cannot be certain about the gender.

“The abortion covers you up until 23 weeks,” explains Rebecca, “and usually at 5 months is usually (sic) when they detect, you know, whether or not it’s a boy or a girl.”  (much more here) 

This has to be a new low for a woman considerably lower on the likability scale than head lice.
Meghan McCain talking about “extremism” and dissing Andrew Breitbart and Michelle Malkin with Al Sharpton.   Let that insufferable contrast sink in a minute.

One of the most violently extremist race-baiters, next to NBP leader Malik Shabazz, is Al “crown heights riot” Sharpton.   And the idiot girl-child named Meghan McCain has the stupidity and audacity to talk about extremism on his MSNBC show.  Seriously. (more…)

America, our long national nightmare is over!  They didn’t listen to your calls, letters, or e-mails, but apparently they did have regard for the bottom line…cold hard cash.  I guess listening to an American-hating beeyotch wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea on a Sunday morning.  I always thought the job should have gone to Jake Tapper in the first place.  Where will she go…..why MSNBC of course! /s
(NYPost)…Christiane Amanpour may soon be giving up the anchor chair on ABC News’ “This Week.” Sources say network honchos are mulling who might replace the award-winning journalist, who has struggled in the ratings since she jumped from CNN to take the reins of the public affairs show in August 2010. “There are discussions of Amanpour’s role changing to that of a global affairs anchor,” a source said. Possible names to fill her seat include ABC’s Jonathan Karl, Terry Moran, Matthew Dowd and Jake Tapper.   (more…)

I stepped out of my car on a sunny 90 degree Phoenix afternoon, but it soon felt closer to 100 degrees by the time I reached the all cement environs of Cesar Chavez Plaza.   A quick scan showed about seven or eight makeshift tents, but I was soon told that these were not really tents.  They were “canopies”, since neither tents, blankets, pillows, or sleeping bags were allowed by the Phoenix Police.  I was most surprised to see only about 40-50 people milling around the site, hardly the numbers nearing the thousand reported on October 15th, the first night of the Occupation.   I’ve since found out the group has several teams of roughly 40-50 people who show up in  planned rotations.  (more…)

Once again the rapper’s musical artistry and use of delicate wordplay are on full display in this latest video titled “My EBT”, by “Mrebt”... alias Stanley Lafleur.   Celebrating the pure ‘coolness’ of any and all things gotten for nothing, Mrebt raps on and on saying, “My EBT…EBT…I just swipe my EBT”.  Catchy isn’t it?  I wonder what Michelle would think about his food choices?  Oh, as you watch the video don’t forget to take note of the leather jacket, official Yankee’s cap, and diamond earrings….just sayin’.

Through the use of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, it seems the anarchists are determined to bring the Arab Spring to the shores of the United States.  Sites like #Occupy Wall Street, and US Day of Rage have been encouraging the disaffected to seize back control of the banks.   “The Occupation Has Begun!”, states one site…  “Beginning on September 17, we want to see 20,000 people flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices.” 
Others like Real Democracy Now!,  herald a world-wide occupation of banks and ‘banksters’, and implore people to take to the streets to send their government a message.  Isn’t it great to know that our government spent millions of dollars to pass out free cellphones to these folks?   (more…)
