The New Face Of Entitlements

Let me try and understand this insurance mandate logic:

Regarding increased costs, the left is saying the mandate is irrelevant because all insurance companies will want to provide contraceptive pill coverage because it’s cheaper and healthier in the long run…..

So are they also going to mandate diet pill coverage? (more…)

Aaaahhhh, Now it’s all coming together….
(CollegePolitico) As many have already uncovered Sandra Fluke is, in reality, a 30 year old long time liberal activist who enrolled at Georgetown with the express purpose of fighting for the school to pay for students’ birth control. She has been pushing for mandated coverage of contraceptives at Georgetown for at least three years according to the Washington Post.

However, as I discovered today, birth control is not all that Ms. Fluke believes private health insurance must cover. She also, apparently, believes that it is discrimination deserving of legal action if “gender reassignment” surgeries are not covered by employer provided health insurance. She makes these views clear in an article she co-edited with Karen Hu in the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law. (more…)

Before looking at Rush’s response to the ‘slut’ controversy, lets first pause and take a look at the widespread misogyny talk of major left figures, which, according to the rabid left is ok. Comments by: Ed Shultz, Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher lead off.

LIMBAUGH – “In fighting them, I became like them…. I descended to their level when I used those two words to describe Sandra Fluke…. Those two words were inappropriate, uncalled for, and actually distracted from the point I was trying to make …. The apology was sincere … And in so doing I became like the people we oppose. It’s important not to be like them in fighting them, the old saw that you never descend to the level of your opponent, or they win.” (more…)

ISRAEL – Channel 2 in Israel, sourcing a “senior American official”, says that the decision has already been made by the Israeli government to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“All U.S. intelligence officials are confident the Israeli leadership has already decided to attack Iran, unless a significant change happens in the coming weeks or months with  the Iranian nuclear program,” Channel 2 reports. (more…)

Throughout his campaign, Mitt Romney has tried to defend the individual mandate he signed into law in Massachusetts by claiming that such an approach to healthcare is acceptable on a state, but not a federal level. But a recently discovered USA Today op-ed, dated July 30, 2009, contradicts the presidential hopeful’s current line of argument. It seems he took to the papers to urge President Obama to adopt the same approach to healthcare nationally. (more…)

Wait a minute, I thought the Occupiers had the blessing of Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi for their wonderful passionate engagements?    Gee, what gives?   Guess Chicago Jesus doesn’t want to be embarassed at his home town in front of all those important international peeps, the press, and their entourage.
Rats, the optics of the rage filled left would have been just incredible.   Oh well, Chicken Boy can hide in Camp David instead.   I wonder how much that will cost us?
Chicago – A coalition of U.S. radical groups, including the Occupy Movement, are preparing protests to start in September, including the targeting of the Democratic National Convention that takes place that month in Charlotte, N.C.

The Occupy movement is likely to escalate months before the Sept. 3-6 event. A slew of extremist organizations, some tied to Obama, are preparing protests to coincide with major NATO and G-8 summits slated for Chicago in May. (more…)

The magnanimous all tolerant left who falsely claim their righteous defense of free speech once again show their true nature.   The truth is irreconcilable to their ideology, they abhorr free speech unless it belongs to them or supports their selfish agenda.    We know this is all part of the same scheme to distract from visible progressive failures both in the heart of their movement, and in the policy of President Obama.
Boots On and Fix Bayonets folks…   We are all Bartacus !!   Provide No Quarter.
(Washington Examiner) Furious Democrat activists are working to silence Rush Limbaugh for good, calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to pull his radio show off the air.

An activist on signon.org is collecting signatures in support of a petition to FCC to, “remove Mr. Limbaugh from the radio as he has violated FCC rules and regulations countless times. The most recent incident being his assault on women and his degradation of Sandra Fluke.” The petition is circulating on Facebook and Twitter and on Democrat message boards. (more…)

I had a marvelously, brilliant idea last night. In a moment of caffeine induced clarity a thunder-clap was heard overhead, and the entire family swears they saw the fleeting image of a lightbulb hovering nearby, dim though the light might have been. Alas, it could never be. But if. *swoon* But if, oh, if…, I could just be king of the forest for a day, I’d manuever all the contesting creatures around a bit and throw pancakes into a jungle canoe. Here’s how:

I’d tell Newt Gingrich to call Rick Santorum with a proposition. A dangerously big proposition. A marvelously, strategically, historical odd kind of proposition. If Rick agrees then both call the media for an early morning presser in Ohio, and a mid-day presser in Tennessee, but keep the reasoning secret between only Newt and Rick. (more…)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Barack Obama today for their first meeting since it was revealed by a French news agency that Obama cannot stand dealing with the current Israeli leader.   Judging from the external appearances one must conclude  indeed Obama’s sentiment toward Netanyahu remains in a bitter state of disposition.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama appealed to Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to give sanctions more time to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but the Israeli prime minister gave no sign of backing away from possible military action. (more…)
