Government health-care: you’re gonna get it, like it or not
The new-era, bipartisan Democrat-Socialist approach: nice health care-industry company you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it because you talked to a Republican.
Top aides to Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) called a last-minute, pre-emptive strike on Wednesday with a group of prominent Democratic lobbyists, warning them to advise their clients not to attend a meeting with Senate Republicans set for Thursday.
“They said, ‘Republicans are having this meeting and you need to let all of your clients know if they have someone there, that will be viewed as a hostile act,’” said a Democratic lobbyist who attended the meeting.
One senior Democratic source charged that Thune’s meeting and the supposed motives behind it are in fact a smoke screen for killing health care reform altogether.
This charge, naturally, being a smokescreen for killing altogether any attempt to speak their minds by those opposed to the disaster of government-controlled health care. Jim Hoft asks: “When did America become Venezuela?” A: when a hardcore liberal-fascist stole the last election by Chicago-style fraud, thuggery, and malfeasance.
Update! BIll says it outright — the impolite, hysterical, moderate-alienating BASTARD: “These are the machinations of tyrants and tyrannies.” Indeed they are, uncomfortable as it is for the fainthearted to look directly into the face of the beast and call it by its rightful name.
Updated update! Also via Bill: while you moderates are wallowing in the calming waters of denial, might as deny this too:
Administration, Congress seek to rein in exec pay
Democrats pushing administration to do more to rein in excessive corporate pay, bonusesThe administration plans to seek legislation that would try to rein in compensation at publicly traded companies through nonbinding shareholder votes and by decreasing management influence on pay decisions.
But some Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee said Thursday the administration’s efforts to hector the private sector into reforming executive pay might not go far enough.
Isn’t it funny how, after squealing about the Bush “tyranny” for eight annoying years, they turn out to be much, much worse than he ever was in even their most overdramatized nightmares?
Those of you who still want to insist that this country could never, ever, ever, ever lapse into fascist tyranny may want to consult any history books you can get your hands on right about now. Because present-day America, she ain’t what she once was. And any resemblance it may now bear to the vision of its Founders is purely incidental, and being actively eroded day by day, due to the machinations of people openly hostile to that vision, both in government and out of it.
