Hilarious Saturday Night Live spoof on healthcare.gov

Rick Moran  What else could they have chosen as an opening skit?

 

" 'Millions of Americans are visiting the Healthcare.gov, which is great news," she said. "Unfortunately, the site was only designed to handle six users at a time."

"Sebelius also told users that while they were waiting for the site to respond, they could book vacations to Canada on Kayak.com and buy cheaper prescription drugs while out of the country." More here.

Star Parker blasts Obama over race relations

WND   'This president has decided to use the bully pulpit to separate us as a society'
 

"President Obama is using race as a divider in America, instead of trying to unite the nation, charges the head of a nonprofit think tank that addresses issues of race and poverty through principles of faith, freedom and personal responsibility.
“ 'I think that race relations in America were getting better over time [before Obama's election],” said Star Parker, the founder and president of  the Washington-based Center for Urban Renewal and Education, or CURE."

Star Parker "has a BS degree in Marketing and Business from Woodbury University and has received numerous awards and commendations for her work. She has lectured on poverty issues at more than 180 colleges and universities and has served on advisory boards for several organizations ranging from Carenet to the Cato Institute."

Michael Moore And Al Sharpton Argue Christianity Just As Bad As Radical Islam…

Weasel Zippers  "With the obligatory Michael Moore “it’s our fault they want to kill us” argument."

"I’ll begrudgingly giver Maher credit for pointing out the left’s mind-numbing hypocrisy when it comes to criticizing Islam."
Full article

...."But both Maher and Dawkins argued that unlike Islamic extremists, Christian extremists don’t casually throw out fatwas and death threats when their faith is attacked.
"Sharpton insisted much of the Muslim community has thoroughly denounced the “distorted use” of their faith, while Moore charged that Christian extremists are just as bad because their stranglehold on American politics has kept the U.S. in a scientific “dark age.' ”

What passes for leadership in America

A Call To The First 2000 names in the Boston Phone Book, Your Country Needs You Now   "William F. Buckley stated that he would rather be governed by the first 2000 names in the Boston phone book rather than 2000 professors of Harvard. Well Bill, the time is now. We have met the faculty and from the past five years, we believe they should stick to their lounges, worn sport jackets and pony tails, and their pastime of mutual admiration.

"Theory has met reality and theory loses."

The Comical Conservative

Neal Boortz; How to talk to Harry Reid (if you gotta)
      "Now Harry likes to throw around a lot of pretty strong words when he’s talking about Republicans.  You’ve heard him. There’s “hostage takers,” for instance, and “extortionists.”  But for today’s lesson in haggling with Harry we’ll stick to two of his favorites:

1. The Tea Partiers are “anarchists.”
2. The people just want the congress to do its job.

            "We would hope that Mitch McConnell would have long ago delivered a good verbal spanking to the hero of the Las Vegas unions, but it hasn’t happened yet … and McConnell doesn’t look or sound like someone you would bet on in a verbal prize fight.  So I’m here to help.  First we will deal with..."

Obamacare opponents reveal deep racism in America!

And this commentary by Neal Cavuto is obviously racist 

From Black Quill and Ink
 

Sharpton Compares Himself to [Jewish] Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel  "Sharpton once complained about the “diamond merchants*” in Crown Heights, suggesting, “All we want to say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise, no meetings, no kaffe klatsch, no skinnin' and grinnin'. Pay for your deeds.” He also said in Harlem, “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.' ”  More on this here.
*"Diamond merchant" is of course a derogatory term for Jewish people. Naturally you knew what Sharpton meant.

Daily Kos: Should the Tea Party Wear Swastikas on Their White Sheets?

No gospel without wrath

La Shawn Barber  "When I read that the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) decided to exclude from its hymnals the song “In Christ Alone” (see video below) because the second verse mentions God’s wrath, I knew it was more evidence of doctrinal slide. The PCUSA, which takes a “progressive” view of Scripture, asked the song’s writers, Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, if the church could change the lyrics from “Till on that cross as Jesus died / The wrath of God was satisfied” to “Till on that cross as Jesus died / The love of God was magnified.” The songwriters refused.

"Why would a denomination want to remove a hymn’s reference to God’s wrath? Mary Louise Bringle, a member of the PCUSA song committee, attempted to explain:"....

Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare website (UPDATED)

UPDATE: Are the Obamas this 'tone deaf?'   "The Obama White House has a bad case of "tone deafness"  Or, maybe they just don't think that the media will look into these contractual arrangements.

....
"Wonder if anyone in the media will follow up on this connection?  or what about the company's past?"

Daily Caller  "First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
"Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
"Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obamaare both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
....
Update: "The Daily Caller repeatedly contacted CGI Federal for comment. After publication of this article, the company responded that there would be “nothing coming out of CGI for the record or otherwise today.' ” ...

 

From Examiner.com:

There’s more. Townes’s boss, George Schindler, was an Obama 2012 campaign donor — but that was after his company won the Obamacare website contract, so obviously there is no quid pro quo.

More on the contract here, but especially this info:
Jeffrey Zients, who was just hired by the Obama administration was a consultant for...wait for it..."Bain & Company, the vulture capitalist outfit that Team Obama worked so hard to make an albatross around the neck of Mitt Romney in the last presidential election. Then again, Barack Obama’s antipathy toward Bain lasted only through Election Day."

Beware of Beautifully Misnamed Laws (Who would oppose “affordable care” and “farm security”?)

Victor Davis Hanson  "Washington has a bad habit of naming laws by what they are not."
....
"Obamacare does, however, grow government. It increases the federal work force. And clerks in Washington will judge which Americans have too much health care and which have too little — and then even everything out."
....
"Our next fight is over “comprehensive immigration reform.' ”...."Those convicted of many sorts of crimes may still be eligible for amnesty. Dependence on public assistance will not necessarily be a barrier to citizenship. In other words, the bill will be comprehensively disingenuous."

....
 "Then, to piggyback on worries over high unemployment, there was the 2013 “Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act” that is still being debated."
.... "It will continue to give profitable farmers more federal money when commodity prices are high and government insolvent. And it will subsidize groceries to a record number of recipients at a time when epidemic obesity, not malnutrition, threatens the health of millions of lower-income Americans. Food choice, not scarcity, is our national challenge.
"Beware of Congress bearing the gifts of beautifully misnamed laws."

Bill O’Reilly on Socialism and a Shocking New Book

OK, OK, you don't have to like O'Reilly to appreciate the substance of this report. For once he's plugging someone else's book instead of his own.

Noisy Room

..."People need to look at what is happening in our country and if they don’t start caring, they might not like the society their children and grandchildren will be forced to live in. A pervasive and unrelenting statist force is permeating our government at all levels – town, city, state and federal.

"There is a new book about the socialist and communist influences in our government which I would like to see everyone read. It’s called The Enemies Within by Trevor Loudon. The information in the book is both shocking and undeniable, undeniable because it is very well-researched. To give you a glimpse into the book, I will share some of the reasons for the dramatic transformation of California as detailed in the book.

"The state has gone extremely far-left with LA County being most definitively so. How did it happen?"...Read more. 

"[Obama's] views are extreme and he is incapable of adjusting to reality in a pragmatic way.
"It is impossible to know what is in Mr. Obama’s heart but socialism is what he knows.
"President Obama is the son and grandson of Communists. He was mentored by Communist and pedophile, Franklin Marshall Davis who was hand-selected by Barack’s grandfather to guide him.
"In college, Mr. Obama hung out with the Chicanos, Marxist Professors, structural feminists."
....
"It is government theft of the shareholders’ money, pure and simple, and it’s not the kind of thing that should take place in a Capitalist nation.
"This is not what our nation was founded on and it is not a good place for us to go, or one day we will find that we have no rights or property of our own and we are wards of the State."

Pat Condell: There's no racist like a liberal racist

Youtube  " 'Progressive" used to mean socially enlightened and forward looking. Now it's just another word for a creepy liberal racist."  

Obamacare: we're laughing with it, not at it.

Just in time for Halloween: Health Care Horror Story  "The worms turn in the health care horror story. The president says ObamaCare isn’t just a website. He’s right. The problems go much deeper. Ezra Klein explains here.

 

"The horror continues with the pitchman-in-chief’s claim that “if you like your doctor and your insurance – you can keep it”. The Daily Caller says more people have had their insurance cancelled than have signed up for ObamaCare. Florida Blue Cross cut 300,00 and Kaiser Permanente whacked 160,000 in California.

Health Care Horror Warranty

"Now along comes Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson with a new bill to hold the government to its warranty. He calls it the “If You Like Your Health Plan You Can Keep it Act“."  Chip Bok.
