down” vote? Let the

President Obama has
declared a HC Jihad on the
American people. His
obsession to take over 1/6th
of the economy is just another
slice off our ever eroding
Republic.
After a year and two months in office, this POTUS will be known for his
incessant quadrupling of the Bush deficit, losing four million jobs and counting with
a bogus-earmarked porkulus bill, a bloated unsustainable budget and a turn to
government ownership and bullying this country hasn’t seen since Stalin, Hitler,
Mao and FDR.
That Muslim outreach ain’t exactly clicking either: Must be Barack’s inability to
close Gitmo, as promised, that’s still stokin’ the hate. I guess playing the show
trial card for KSM and Mirandizing the genital bomber just didn’t cut it with
Islamic fanatics.
Supreme Court Head Justice Roberts is threatening to boycott future SOTU
addresses so he and his fellow judges don’t have to face a ranting bully who is
clearly wrong on the law and childishly crude in his choice of venue.
If he keeps bypassing Congress with executive orders, he may be giving the next
SOTU to an empty house. This begs the question of where Nancy Pelosi will
practice her aerobic jump-and-clap moves.
According to Rasmussen Polls, the President is teetering with lower and lower
ratings amongst likely voters, setting a record bottom just yesterday.
Now in a last gasp effort, Dear Leader is out with his 35,678th HC speech and
has given Nancy and her troupe of Dems one week to pass the Senate Bill intact.
The problem is that abortion is specifically not to be funded by the House Bill and
the Senate Bill doesn’t prevent taxes from going to pay for them. Thus w/o a deal
this skunk could be road-kill.
Ah, but these Dems---they ARE slick. But you can’t fool the American people
for long. They’ve got “House Rules Chairwoman” Louise Slaughter writing a
“new” rule whereby the bill could be considered passed w/o a formal vote, to be
reconciled to the Senate Bill “later.”
If that happens, it’s sent to the President’s desk for signing, stat. Then Americans
of all wages above $200,000 will be overtaxed for ten years to get five years of
whatever benefit is in Obamacare. And they won’t stop there. Other taxes and
properties will be confiscated as they squeeze small businesses and the “wealthy”
and the middle class.
Imagine that. You buy a house, pay full payments and you can’t move in for five
years! Is there any wonder why America is livid!?
I couldn’t fix your Toyota so I made your horn louder.
All this is being done to an America whose citizens are clearly fed up over a
process where few if any know the specifics of the Senate Bill. Dems are so
oblivious that Pelosi announced they ought to pass the Senate Bill so we could
finally see what’s in it. Even Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, looking for a
smidgeon of credibility in his quest to become Minority Leader when Harry and
other Senate Dems are replaced in November, says that premiums will go up next
year. He goes on to explain that anyone who says differently is not telling the truth
(Barack Hussein Obama). Hmmmm. Hmmmm. HMMMM.!.
Sadly, we have a President who is willing to break any and all rules that he railed
to keep pure when he was a mere senator and presidential candidate. If the
congress finally finds their cojones, without the aid of ex-Rep. Massa ’s tickling
them, would it surprise anyone if Dear Leader dumps Obamacare on us through
Executive Order?
For now, President Obama insists on an “up or down” vote on Obamacare,
something that clearly needs a 60 vote majority in the Senate, by rule of law.
If that’s the case, Americans should demand an “up or down” vote via early
congressional and presidential elections. That way we can end this nightmare and
go about the almost impossible job of restoring our economy, our laws and, most
important, our pride.

Thanks for the straight talk!

Mike,
Appreciate the comment.

Mr. Weinbaum:
Is Louise Slaughter the same dumb-ass who wore her sisters false-teeth to a
funeral? I forget the story, but I think she delivered it on the House floor. I
didn't know the House floor was open for idiot speeches. Didn't we have
enough of those when "Gip Deckhart" was around?
The Senate and House used to be wonderful forums for great speeches, but
now we have morons whining and complaining about false f*****g teeth.
This is what happens when uneducated and ill-informed people are allowed to
vote. Frauds like Louise Slaughter, "Plugs" and "Dumbo" get elected.
Un-f*****g-believable!
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Mr. Mephisto,
When writing me I’d appreciate it if you didn’t hold back. Man up and tell me
what you really think.
Mephisto
Methinks I detect a note of sarcasm in your response.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Nothing gets by you does it?
Mephisto
Now, I know you're a smart ass.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Gee, can’t get a THING by you!
Mephisto
Sorry, I forgot to use the filter. It usually turns my diatribes into more readable
exercises. I probably should clean it but, I think, even it's getting fed up with
the stupidity surrounding us.
Why didn't Harry Reid send his wife to Cuba for her neck-fracture surgery?
Don't they have the finest doctors and and health care in the western
hemisphere? Hmmm? Hypocrite!
Don Walker
Dave,
This is important since the government can intimidate the people and
restrict our 9th Amendment Rights through force. But it appears that the
states are not giving up our 10th Amendment Rights without a fight. Dear
Leader may have bitten off more than he can chew.

Glad you liked the column. Thanks for the encouragement.
Jill Bogar
paris? really?
Dave Weinbaum replies:
That was webmaster Martin's choice..but so what? Jealous?
Jill Bogar
well yeah! lol..and I never text while working..I was on lunch! if you believe
that..I have something to sell ya!
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Jill, don't be jealous. You have two "things" she doesn't have.

pled guilty as charged.

THAT?

Dave, You are priceless and to the point. Your humor shines through

Where did this grandiose writing style come from?
I liked the unpolished, authentic Dave (with the cornball humor) better.
Tell your new copy editor to take a hike. We don't need another slick pundit
who strings cliches across the page, but doesn't say much of anything.
Givemeliberty
Sigh.
This is what happens when the federal government strays into territory that is
forbidden by the Constitution, because it's not in the list of Enumerated Powers
in Article I Section 8, and the Tenth Amendment says it can't therefore meddle
here. Hmm, let's see...you took an oath to uphold the Constitution, then you
violate it...I see a problem here.
OldProf
I miss the columnists. Nice to hear from someone other than Dave.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Native,
I've been called a lot of things, but never 'slick.' Liberty, thanks for your
comments. Prof, I too love to see opposite and competing opinions, just as
long as one side doesn't have the ability to shut the other side of an opinion off
via censorship.

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own
well. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. Let thy fountain
be blessed and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind
and the pleasant row; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou
ravished always with her love. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a
strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? For the ways of man
are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things; thou as made us to drink the wine of
astonishment.
There, I spelled it out for you - Socrates, Jon U's psalms ... no comparison!
These words - only for MEN!
Jon Ullner
"Loving hind", "breasts asatiasfying thee", "bosom of a stranger"
Ginger, in the game of facebook chest, I mean chess, you earned the right to
say "check mate".
Ginger Renken
better than a stale mate
Sulla Felix
Well, Givemeliberty, Obama made it quite clear long before being elected
POTUS that he considered the US Constitution inadequate to his purpose........
nobody listened, however. Some clowns even claimed he didn't really mean it.
But look where we are.
'But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of
wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in
society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the
Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential
constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at
least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same
way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what
the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you,
but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on
your behalf.
And that hasn't shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights
movement was because the civil rights movement became so court-focused I
think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community
organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual
coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In
some ways we still suffer from that.'
-Barack Obama
Alan Weinbaum
I do not feel comfortable with the Hitler/Stalin reference about Obama
although it has dramatic effect.
Obama views himself as a monarch above the law not a mass murderer.
Obama as the all powerful "mullah" or ordained unrestrained leader of the less
educated American public. He recoils at the possibility of someone questioning
his authority or right to direct policy or make laws.
I think the rest of the article is easily read, clear and to the point.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Al,
Thanks for your comments. Obama has a distressing habit of picking
scapegoats. If he doesn’t personally commit genocide, he’s certainly
encouraging others to do so. Given too much power, he’ll be a dangerous
person to disagree with.
Thanks for the straight talk!
