Sometimes Words Are Meaningless

The clichéd phrase is "words mean something". I'm beginning to think that sometimes words don't mean anything.  Sometimes people losing an argument, or trying to bend you to seeing their exclusive reality as the true reality, just put words together that are meaningless.

I saw two such events these past few days. John Holdren, Obama's science adviser, said a couple days ago during a speech in Oslo that the term "global warming" has lost its shine, and we're now supposed to use the term "climate disruption". What could that possibly mean? This is 'newspeak' gone mad, as mad as Obama's language police replacing the word “terrorism" with "man caused disasters".  Orwell was too brilliant to come up with something so stupid.

The other venture into post Orwellian newspeak evolves out of the current debate among Democrats about the "Bush tax cuts"; whether to extend them or not. If the tax cuts are extended, then they become "Obama's tax cuts". Say what? Here's the quote from Pelosi: "What I believe the American people deserve is a tax cut for the middle class." "And without getting into procedure and timing and process, what we're going to do is to say at the end of the day, the extension of the Obama middle-income tax cuts will take place, and that's what I have to say on the subject."

Let’s see, extend someone else’s legislation so things remain the same, the stick your name to it and call it a change, and take credit for the change that isn’t a change.

Orwell and I say, “What?”

Pelosi Tells Church to Advocate for Amnesty from the Pulpit

Dems and their fellow Secularist travelers forever admonishing separation of church and State except when expedient and pushes their agenda. Have you noticed too that you only see Dems in church during campaigns? If you're Republican or Conservative and a person of Faith that goes to Services regularly, well then, you're ramming your beliefs down Secularists' throats. It's apparent here that she has no idea what goes on in churches. Here she seems to think that politics is important and to be debated from the pulpit, when what happens is how to apply scripture to improve the quality of our lives and serve others.

The Democrat's War Against Doctors

Pelosi said that the health care bill had to be passed to see what's in it, and now many are finding out. For the full year of the debate, actually it was a one sided promotion by the Jurassic Press and Dems, some interesting developments have actually been reported.

Title VI, Section 6001 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The “Physician Ownership and Other Transparency – Limitations on Medicare Exceptions to the Prohibition on Certain Physician Referral for Hospitals.”

This is nothing less than a full on attack by the Dems and Obama on doctors, specifically doctor owned hospitals. The Dems, forever playing the class card (taking a break from playing the race card), along with the Leftist American Medical Association (AMA, representing less than 25% of doctors) say, with no evidence, that doctor owned hospitals cater to only those with better insurance and higher incomes.

Some of the rules under ObamaCare. If the doctor owned hospital already exists, it will have to get permission from the government to expand. To qualify to expand, it has to be in a county where population growth is 150 percent of the population growth of the state in the last five years; inpatient admissions must be equal to all hospitals located in the county; the bed-occupancy rate must not be greater than the state average, and the hospital must be located in a state where hospital bed capacity is less than the national average. Did you understand that?

Right now about 60 doctor owned hospitals in various stages of development have been stopped.

Molly Sandvig, executive director of Physician Hospitals of America (PHA) asserts that doctor-owned hospitals in 38 states provide 55,000 jobs, $2.4 billion in payroll and pay $509 million in federal taxes.

Besides the AMA attacking entrepreneurial doctors, the Leftist American Hospital Association (AHA), representing non-profit and corporate hospitals, that will financially benefit from ObamaCare, are also attacking doctor owned hospitals.

You can guess the charge of the AMA and AHA by this response by Sandvig: “We don’t cherry pick patients, period, end of story. We take patients based on their need for care, not on their ability to pay.” “It [the health care reform] puts control outside the hands of physicians and patients and into bureaucrats’ hands really."

Once again the fascist Obama administration and Dems are deciding who the winners and losers are. Government wins, the lobbyists paying Dems and Obama the most (remember he was going to get rid of those guys?) money to them, wins.

Speaking of losing. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, based on current training rates, there will be an estimated shortage of 150,000 in about 15 years. Article here. Add to that the number of doctors that say they will take early retirement rather than contend with ObamaCare, and the other about 30%-35% of doctors that say they will be finding another occupation because of this. These are smart people, doctors, and could probably find some science teaching or research position, plus other stuff I can't imagine, to do.

Closing hospitals, reducing employment and tax revenues, driving highly skilled people out of their profession, cutting Medicare, raising taxes on things like walkers, wheelchairs, and hip replacement parts; that's a good start to 'transform' the healthcare system.

I guess, at the least, Liberals could go to Cuba for healthcare.

Pelosi & Reid Saying Abortion Financing Not in HealthCare Bill

Here's Pelosi and Reid saying abortion financing is not in the bill, but here's an actual picture of the page and paragraph of it. Couple that with Pelosi's monumentally stupid statement, “[W]e have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.” These knuckleheads have moved from passing legislation they haven't read, to just making stuff up, and telling us to trust them.



Here's Pelosi actually making her monumentally stupid statement.

Heaviest Element Yet Known to Science Discovered (funny)

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has now identified with certainty the heaviest element known to science.

The new element, Pelosium (PL), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Pelosium is inert, and has no charge and no magnetism. Nevertheless, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Pelosium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Pelosium has a normal half-life of 2 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a biennial reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

Pelosium mass will increase over time, since each reorganization will promote many morons to become isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Pelosium becomes Senatorium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Pelosium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Confused About Pelosi and Health Care Lobbyists

After months of railing against lobbyists, health care insurers, and others in the private sector health care industry, she's attending a fund raiser with same. Don't know what to call this...hypocrisy or double standard. Well, for sure greed and lust for power covers it.

She's attending a fund raiser, September 24th, with a lobbyist, Steve Elmendorf of United Health. If you would like to attend, entry is only $2,400, or if you represent a Political Action Committee $5,000. ummmm, aren't PAC's lobbies? Isn't Pelosi against taking money from lobbyists? If the private sector health care people are so evil and vile, wouldn't she want to stay away? I know I have a tendency to at least shun evil people, not cavort and party and take money from them.

Pelosi Tells Anti War Protesters I'm a Fan of Disruptors (vid)

So how come protest was okay then and not now? Just sit down and shut up you stupid citizens, we're in power now and we know what's best for you...

Pelosi Calls Opponents of Health Care Nazis/Rush Counterpoint Causes Furor

From the Rush monologue: "You have the Democrat Speaker of the House saying that people, citizens who are concerned about health care are now wearing swastikas. She's basically saying that we are Nazis. She is saying that the people who oppose this are Nazis, and I'm going to tell you what. I'm going to run down the list here later on in the program, but this party, the Democrat Party and where it's taken this country, the radical left leadership of this party bears much more resemblance to Nazi policies than anything we on the right believe in at all, and I'll go through that list in just a second." Rush does go down the list of similarities between liberalism and Nazism." You can read the whole monologue here.

I remember in the mid-nineties this became an issue. Rush had one of his producers check the congressional record, and there were many (I forget the number) references to Republicans, on the floor of the House, as being Nazis. I remember lots of references, when I watched a lot of C-Span, of lock step jack booted Republicans. Now that the Dems are 100% in agreement about imposing socialist programs, I'm not hearing anything similar being said by Republicans during sessions in Congress now.

Here's some more Leftist protests from the Bush years:






When I posted about the Joker issue, I left out this gem. The president's wife. I mean, really...



PELOSI: I think they are Astroturf -- you be the judge -- of carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town hall meeting on health care.

Rush: "You have the Democrat Speaker of the House saying that people, citizens who are concerned about health care are now wearing swastikas. She's basically saying that we are Nazis. She is saying that the people who oppose this are Nazis..."

We're Looking Out for...ummmmm, Us.

The Dems, who claim to be the true party of the people, have ordered themselves some really cool transportation. After excoriating private sector leaders for flying around in private jets, guess what they've ordered for themselves? Some private jets! I'm sure the jets use ethanol too, cause they're sooooo concerned about carbon footprints and the environment. Oh, they don't make those? Besides, you can't travel with the great unwashed; even first class, those are just horrible capitalist businessmen. Yuck.

$200 million have been approved for three jets. Gulfstream G550, sure nice to have. Advertisement... “The cabin aboard the G550 combines productivity with exceptional comfort. It features up to four distinct living areas, three temperature zones, a choice of 12 floor plan configurations with seating for up to 18 passengers.”

There will be justifications for this. Safety, security, whatever. In an economic downturn, when the Dems have run up an $11 trillion debt, they're out shopping and buying non-essentials.

I want a CTS, but I'll stick with my 4 cylinder Grand Am. Gee, think I could ask the Bamster, or Reid or Pelosi for new wheels? I really need better climate control, bigger engine and leather seats and a Bose sound system to scoot around the Vegas valley. CTS provides more safety and security don't you know.
