The BoBo Carnival of Politics – November 15, 2009 Edition
Posted by: The BoBo // Category: BoBo, Carnival, Conservative, Democrats, Liberals, Politics, blogs, libertarian
Okay – here’s the next great installment of The BoBo Carnival of Politics. There are some great submissions here – please be sure to check them out. One in particular I want to point out comes from SpkTruth2Pwr – please go visit and read that one. It was in response to my earlier post this week on P-BO and being a Muslim.
I will give everyone a break this week and forgo my usual comments. Quite frankly, it’s because I have an extremely busy day today – but – I also know you guys would sometimes like to read these and come to your own conclusions without my opinions clouding the issues. So – without further adieu -
Conservative
John Prothro presents Fox News is Obama’s Only Friend posted at Obama Takes Over the Hundred Acre Wood, saying, “We all have bad ideas. But we hopefully have friends who tell us they are bad. This Administration needs such a friend. His first task would be to tell Joe Biden it is a bad idea to “spend money to keep from going bankrupt.””
Jared Rhoads presents Let insurers actually compete posted at The Lucidicus Project, saying, “We don’t need a government-run public option; we need to let health insurance companies actually compete on an open market.”
Scott Spiegel presents Hasan Lawyer Considers Twinkie Defense, “American Panic Defense” posted at Scott Spiegel.
Democrats
Joe Manausa, MBA presents Home Buyer Tax Credit Expanded By Congress posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, “Congress has extended and expanded the homebuyer tax credit. The modifications will become effective when President Obama signs the bill, which could occur as early as November 6, 2009.”
Liberal
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Celebrating Sarah posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Stewing Over Stupak posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Larry King and Carrie Prejean ? Not Headed To The Altar posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
SpkTruth2Pwr presents Muslim – The “Affliction” Americans Fear posted at The Apathy Remedy, saying, “Is America in a War on Terrorism or a War on Muslims? Depending on who you ask, you might get differing responses, which is unfortunate for a country that prides itself on being a “melting pot”.”
Libertarian
Archvillain presents Orwell Was An Optimist posted at A Dark and Sinister Force for Good, saying, “Yet more prosecutorial malfeasance in our so-called “Justice” system. Why aren’t more people getting angry?”
Archvillain presents Squat on thy haunches and bray out the tale ? posted at A Dark and Sinister Force for Good, saying, “What’s the difference between us and our enemies again?”
Miscellaneous
Paul presents Has Washington D.C. Learned Nothing From Washington State’s Failed Healthcare Reform? posted at Paul’s Political Punditcy, saying, “Blaring example of how government controlled health care will fail whether at a state level or national level.”
News
Tamir Birk presents Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Protest: “RIOT 2010!” – Um, Can You Take It Easy With That? posted at Informed Vote | Keeping Canadian Voters Informed.
Ann Margrain presents Children in Need, Stay in Need posted at Heroin and Cornflakes, saying, ““Hunger is not inevitable. Malnutrition is not a consequence of food scarcity, but a result of the way economies are organized and of political choices to address—or ignore—the causes of hunger. In the 21st century, we have the means to defeat hunger: we grow enough food, we know enough about redistributive economics, we have the political tools to ensure inclusive decision-making and we can afford to provide the basic needs that protect every person’s entitlement to an adequate, nutritious diet”.”
Ann Margrain presents Prohibition here we come! posted at Heroin and Cornflakes, saying, “Recently much attention has been focused on the on-going drama of U.S. health reform. In President Obama`s weekly address, he talks about how the ‘chatter and ruckus around health insurance reform on television obscures the reality of what’s happening in America.’”
U.S. Common Sense presents Nigel Coleman: idiot posted at U.S. Common Sense, saying, “Nigel Coleman is planning to burn the effigies of Pelosi and Perriello next weekend. This article explains why I think he’s an idiot.”
Politics
Tamir Birk presents The Golan Heights, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Barack Obama: Looking Forward or Looking Back? posted at Informed Vote | Keeping Canadian Voters Informed.
Ann Margrain presents Corruption in Health? Ozone, amputations and swine flu prevention posted at Heroin and Cornflakes, saying, “In America, through pressure of conformity, there is freedom of choice, but nothing to choose from.” (Peter Ustinov, English actor and writer) Over recent months, many media outlets have raised issues and concerns that are increasingly critical of the “swine flu” jab (H1N1)”

November 15th, 2009 at 8:09 pm Urgent!! Robert Reich on your healthcare http://bit.ly/SAQ7a Why A Strong Public Option Is Essential – By jacksmith – Working Class Robert Reich explains the pubic option: http://bit.ly/dDYSJ Hollywood Supports The Public Option :-) http://bit.ly/3XLwPi It’s not just because more than two thirds of the American people want a single payer health care system. And if they cant have a single payer system 77% of all Americans want a strong government-run public option on day one (86% of democrats, 75% of independents, and 72% republicans). Basically everyone. It’s not just because according to a new AARP POLL: 86 percent of seniors want universal healthcare security for All, including 93% of Democrats, 87% of Independents, and 78% of Republicans. With 79% of seniors supporting creating a new strong Government-run public option plan, available immediately. Including 89% of Democrats, 80% of Independents, and 61% of Republicans, STUNNING!! It’s not just because it will lower cost. Because a strong public option will dramatically lower cost for everyone. And dramatically improved the quality of care everyone receives in America and around the World. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. It’s not just because it will save trillions of dollars and prevent the needless deaths of millions more of YOU, caused by a rush to profit by the DISGRACEFUL, GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX! It’s not just because every expert in every field, including economist, and Nobel laureates all agree that free market based healthcare systems don’t work. Never have and never will. The US has the only truly free market based healthcare system in the World. And as you all know now, IT IS A DISASTER! It’s not just because providing or denying medically necessary care for profit motivations is wrong. Because it is WRONG! It’s professionally, ethically, and morally REPUGNANT!, Animalistic, VILE and EVIL. THE REASON THE PUBLIC OPTION IS ESSENTIAL: The public option is ESSENTIAL because over 200 million of you are trapped in the forest of the wolves. Which is the forest of the DISGRACEFUL, GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX! With no way out except through needless inhumane suffering, and DEATH. While the wolves tear at your flesh, and rip you limb from lib. Then feast on your lifeless bodies like a dead carcase for transplant parts. At the most vulnerable times of your lives (when you were sick and hurting), millions of you have had to fight and loose cruel, but heroic battles. Fighting against the big guns of the DISGRACEFUL, GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX! in the forest of the wolves. All because you have no place else to go. You have no other CHOICE! But the PUBLIC OPTION will give you someplace safe to go. And it will give us someplace safe to take you. The public option will be your refugium (your refuge). Where the wolves cannot get at you when your down, hurting, and vulnerable. Where everyone who needs it can find rest, security, comfort and the care they need. Protected by the BIG GUNS of We The People Of The United States. THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE AND COUNTRY ON EARTH. This is why it is so critical that we do not lead another 50 million vulnerable, uninsured Americans into the forest of the wolves, without the protections of a Strong Government-run MEDICARE like public option. We The People Of The United States MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN to any more of our fellow Americans. If healthcare reform does not contain a strong MEDICARE like public option on day one. YOU MUST! KILL IT. Or you will do far more harm than good. And millions more will die needlessly. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. To those who would continue to obstruct good and true healthcare reform for the American people, and who seek to trap millions more vulnerable Americans in the forest of the wolves. We will continue to fight you. We are prepared to wage all out war against you, and will eagerly DESTROY! you. Time…is…UP! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! No Co-op’s! No Triggers! NO INDIVIDUAL MANDATES! without a Strong MEDICARE like public option on day one. Healthcare reform can be the GREATEST! Accomplishment of our time and century. A time when future generations may say of us, that we were all, AMERICAS GREATEST GENERATIONS. BUT WE MUST ACT! I therefore call on all my fellow Americans and the peoples of the World. To join us in this fight so that we may finish becoming the better America that we aspire to be for everyone. SPREAD THE WORD! I have been privileged to be witness as many of you fought, and struggled to take your first breath, and your last breath on this earth. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Life is precious. Whatever the cost. WE! MUST SUCCEED. God Bless You My Fellow Human Beings jacksmith – Working Class ATTENTION!! Congress Has The Votes Needed To Pass A Public Option – TODAY http://bit.ly/TCq7O Things You Can Do To Help NOW! http://www.everydaycitizen.com/2009/09/tired_of_watching_people_die_n.html A majority of voters would rather have a Democrats only bill with a Public Option.

Jacksmith – you are a true moonbat idiot. None of what you put here is factual. The true numbers show that the vast majority of the U.S. citizens are completely against universal health care and a public option. Thanks anyway for coming here and showing the rest of us that there are a lot of dimwits like yourself out there that we need to bring to the light.

As you can see by the resident moonbat’s ravings, the word “profit” is a dirty one–especially if he owns his own business! Even Michael More PROFITS while raging against the political and economic machine. His books and movies aren’t free, for God’s sake!My own youngest BIL even rails about how capitalism doesn’t work, and is unsustainable…yet he owns a comic book store. Go figure! He just hasn’t figured out how to make capitalism work FOR HIMSELF, and I suspect that is the root cause of all these moonbats and Socialists. They can’t generate a decent livable profit from their own efforts, so nobody else should be given a chance either! Those who DO make a profit are expected to share it with the have-nots.What’s truly hysterical about the whole thing is that I, who haven’t worked in 20 years, learned how to make a profit EVEN WITHOUT A JOB! I put the tax code to work for me, and money flows to me seemingly from the sky. I invest by chasing performance–supposedly a no-no, but it works. I also use some very valuable tips from Clark Howard regarding credit card management, as well as Charles Givens (R.I.P.) for rapid mortgage payoff.If more people hung out in the 332 section of their public library, they’d all be a darn sight smarter about money–that’s where I got my education. The learning never stopped–it just changed venues ti the internet.

I’m still amazed at the amount of people that think the government run health care system will work. This country has gone absolutely insane.
