The curtain opens to reveal a dark, window-less chamber where a dozen recognizable faces are seated around a large, pentagon-shaped table. The walls of the chamber are paneled in a dark wood, perhaps mahogany. Framed posters of faces by Shepard Fairey provide a bit of color on an otherwise drab background. The posters are red (Lenin), yellow (Stalin), purple (Khrushchev), white (Castro), green (Ahmadinejad), brown (Che) and others who we cannot so easily identify.
James Carville (sitting near the center of the stage, gravely bangs the gavel, then intones): "I call this, the seventy-eighth Plenary Planning Session of the Democrat Party, to order!"
Katie Couric: "In the interest of expediting our first order of business, I move that we forego the reading of the minutes and the review of the agenda."
Tom Brokaw: "I second."
Carville: "So moved. All in favor, say aye." (a chorus of 'ayes' are heard). "Any nays?" (silence -- the gavel sounds) "The motion carries."
Carville: "Comrade Obama, the floor is yours."
Obama: "Thank you, Comrade. As many of you know, the Clinton wing of our party appears to be staging a revolt against the Obama wing --" (a chortle is heard from the area where Bill and Hillary Clinton are seated. Obama glares in their direction, and after a pause, continues) "Dammit! My iPad Prompter app is out of synch now." (he slides his hand back and forth a few times on the iPad)
Hillary: "Comrade Barack, you have no evidence to suggest that there is any form of revolt brewing in our party of brothers and sisters, unified as one in our fight to advance socialism."
Obama: "Then, what the hell is... this?" (He rips a computer page, a printout of a website, from the binder in front of him, and holds the page up for all to see.)
Obama: "This, comrades, is an article by Lee Cary of The American Thinker that accurately describes what you and your sorry band of nineties nincompoops are up to."
Hillary: "American Thinker? Why not just rip a page off Free Republic or, better yet, Michelle Malkin's site?"
Obama: (slams hand down on table) "That's enough! I have hard evidence, and I do mean hard. Emanuel, unleash the tape."
(a loud click is heard and the scratchy voice of Bill Clinton sounds, seemingly from all over the room): "...Dammit, girl, stop ticklin' me... I'm tellin ya' for real... we're running in '12... and I'm gonna sneak your cute little behind into the White House and show you the old cigar trick...")
Hillary (unflustered): "That's proof of absolutely nothing. Any computer technician could have simulated that voi--"
Obama (soberly raises a wrinkled, size sixteen black cocktail dress on a hanger. A prominent beige stain can be seen at center body mass).
Hillary (glares at Bill and her eyes, at least for a moment, appear to glow red. Maybe we imagined it. She shrieks, a horrid, terrifying noise): "Son of a---!!!" (Calmer) "Fine. Yes, we're running, you clueless n00b! You've come as near to destroying our roadmap as anyone since the Rabbit Killer..."
(All eyes turn to Jimmy Carter, who is asleep in a rocking chair in the corner, the floor around him covered with peanut shells).
Obama: "What the hell are you talking about, you wrinkled, old shrew? I passed more of our agenda in 18 months than you and Lester did in 8 freaking years!"
Hillary: "You sure did, and look where it got us. We're in for an utter disaster in November, thanks to your complete lack of diplomatic skills. Not only that, people are talking about the Constitution and the Declaration! They're forming grass roots armies of voters to turn back the clock on the New Deal and our entire agenda!"
Hillary: "You didn't even try to pretend to tack to the center, like Bill and I did. What's the harm in inviting a few Republicans into some committee meetings? Would it hurt you to stop campaigning and vacationing for a week or two? And actually govern? Didja learn that at Community Organizer school?"
Obama (his eyes are cold and his face filled with disdain): "I passed socialized medicine. I passed the Stimulus and Omnibus spending bills that will bankrupt our country, just as Cloward and Piven instructed. I passed --"
Hillary: "You did no such thing. Pelosi and Reid did all the heavy lifting. You just bloviated. It's apparently your only skill. And besides, we're the ones that touched off the housing crisis. It's beautiful. No one ever suspected that Jamie Gorelick, Andrew Cuomo and Janet Reno were put in place to detonate the biggest economic meltdown in history."
Hillary: "See, Community Organizer, that's the way you do it. You overwhelm the system, the way Cloward and Piven laid it out. But you don't get your entire party destroyed!"
Obama: "Why you little Madeline Albright look-a-like, we'll take you apart in the primary -- "
Hillary: "With what? The nine people left in Organizing for America?"
Carville (sternly bangs gavel and everyone jumps in their seats): "Shakespeare wrote, 'The course of true love never did run smooth.'"
Carville: "We all have the same mission. True, we diverge on the approach to dismantle the Constitution. We shall resolve this quibble as we did the disputes between Bill Clinton and Vincent Foster... as well as Sandy Berger and Ron Brown."
Carville (He opens up the box resting in front of him and displays two fine dueling pistols) "Gentlemen, we shall resolve this situation in November."
(The curtain is closed).

How ObamaCare Rapes Medicare and Puts America's Seniors At Risk
Campaign commercials funded by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) denounce Republicans for their efforts "to end Medicare as we know it."Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has attacked his GOP challenger Sharron Angle, claiming that she wants to "gut" Medicare.
But Medicare's Chief Actuary has revealed the sorry truth: ObamaCare is in the process of raping Medicare:
• Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals will be slashed by 30% over the course of the next three years.
• By 2019, Medicare payment rates will have been slashed below those of Medicaid. What this means is truly shocking: Seniors who have paid into Medicare their entire lives will be treated worse than the poverty-stricken and illegal aliens, many of whom have never paid a dime into the system.
• By the end of the ObamaCare projection period, Medicare payments will be one-half of equivalent Medicaid payments.
• ObamaCare slashes $818 billion from Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) from 2014 to 2023 -- the first 10 years of operation. Combined with Medicare Part B cuts (doctor fees and related services), ObamaCare cuts $1.05 trillion in the first ten years and $5 trillion over the first 20 years.
• Medicare Advantage will also be dramatically curtailed by ObamaCare; Medicare's Actuary estimates that half of all seniors with Medicare Advantage will lose their coverage.
The implications of these cuts are as ominous as they are obvious.
Thousands of doctors will stop seeing Medicare patients altogether. Many hospitals will either go out of business or dramatically raise rates on private insurers (two-thirds of hospitals already lose money on Medicare patients, according to the Chief Actuary).
And seniors will suffer most. There will be fewer doctors, surgeons and specialists because of ObamaCare's draconian price controls.
If you're a senior, you better get your ass to the polls in November.
Obama's bald lie -- "If you like your health plan, you will be able to keep it" -- does not apply to any American, least of all seniors.
ObamaCare must be repealed. And for seniors, it's November or never.
Based upon: How ObamaCare Guts Medicare.
The Dreams That Fly Away

All mankind will pass before You

like members of the flock.

Like a shepherd pasturing his flock,

making sheep pass under his staff,

so shall You cause to pass, count, calculate, and consider the soul of all the living;

and You shall apportion the fixed needs of all Your creatures

and inscribe their verdict.
For Your Name signifies Your praise:

hard to anger and easy to appease,

for You do not wish the death of one deserving death,

but that he repent from his way and live.

Until the day of his death You await him;

if he repents You will accept him immediately.

It is true that You are their Creator and

You know their inclination,

for they are flesh and blood.

Our origin is dust and our end is dust.

At the hazard of our life we earn our bread.

We are like a fragile vessel,

like the grass that withers

the flower that fades,

the shadow that passes,

the cloud that vanishes,

the wind that blows,

the dust that floats,

the dreams that fly away

Verily.

The dreams that fly away.

Your kingship is an eternal kingship.

Your dominion is for all generations.

John Edwards is right -- there really are two Americas. There's taxpayers, and then there's Democrats
Please consider the following data points:
• Capitol Hill employees owed $9.3 million in back taxes last year, data show:
• 41 Obama White House aides owe the IRS $831,000 in back taxes -- and they're not alone
A while back I suggested renaming the Democrat Party The Funocrat Party, because they're the source of non-stop excitement for the beleaguered little guy. But, whatever you do, don't call them taxpayers.

• Capitol Hill employees owed $9.3 million in back taxes last year, data show:
Capitol Hill employees owed $9.3 million in overdue taxes at the end of last year, a sliver of the $1 billion owed by federal workers nationwide but one with potential political ramifications for members of Congress... The average unpaid tax bill is $12,787 among the Senate's delinquent taxpayers and $15,498 among those working in the House.
• 41 Obama White House aides owe the IRS $831,000 in back taxes -- and they're not alone
We now know that federal employees across the nation owe fully $1 billion in back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service... You may recall early on that Tom Daschle was the president's top pick to run the Health and Human Services Department. But it turned out the former Democratic senator, who was un-elected from South Dakota in 2004, owed something like $120,000 to the IRS for things from his subsequent benefactor that he just forgot to pay taxes on. You know how that is. $120G's here or there. So he dropped out.And then we learned this guy Timothy Geithner owed something like $42,000 in back taxes and penalties to the IRS, which is one of the agencies that he'd be in charge of as secretary of the Treasury. The fine fellow who's supposed to know about handling everyone else's money... And under Geithner's expert guidance the U.S. economy has been, well, wow! Just look at it.
Privacy laws prevent release of individual tax delinquents' names. But we do know that as of the end of 2009, 41 people inside Obama's very own White House owe the government they're allegedly running a total of $831,055 in back taxes. That would cover a lot of special chocolate desserts in the White House Mess.
A while back I suggested renaming the Democrat Party The Funocrat Party, because they're the source of non-stop excitement for the beleaguered little guy. But, whatever you do, don't call them taxpayers.

The laundry list of ethical violations reportedly committed by Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) requires a database to keep straight. The man is a career politician who somehow amassed a huge fortune while in office. Not only that, he 'forgot' to report all of his income to the IRS. No matter. He's royalty and we're peons. He's like Steven Seagal -- above the law.But that laundry list of skulduggery matters not to Bloomberg (the idiot Mayor, not the news service). With no other pressing matters of city management weighing him down -- other than regulating salt consumption in the city -- Bloomberg has taken the time to vocally back Rangel, ethics be damned.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is giving beleaguered Representative Charles B. Rangel a boost with a recorded phone message urging voters to support him. “Tough times require tough leadership, and that is what Charlie Rangel has provided for us, and will continue to provide for us going forward,” Mr. Bloomberg says in the robocall expected to flood Mr. Rangel’s district on Sunday.

Welcome to Venezuela: HHS Chief Sebelius Threatens Health Insurers With Promises of Revenge That Are Clearly Cribbed From Hugo Chavez
Here is further proof, as if you need it, that today we live in a Banana Republic.
The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Democrats are among the most outrageous economic illiterates the world has ever seen. On the one hand, they command health insurers to increase the age of covered children from the ages of 21 to 26. On the other hand, as premiums inevitably rise as a result of their inane diktats, they screech at the evil insurers. But it is the insurers who actually have underwriting standards, actuarial calculations and understand the health insurance business. Sebelius and her bureaucrats understand little or none of the reality of health insurance. They are Soviet-style central planners -- and nothing more.
Here's proof: remember this story from earlier in the year?
Sebelius and Chavez have helpfully illustrated for us the madness of socialism: when the central planners' plans fail -- as they inevitably do -- they blame not themselves, but their victims. They do so because their failed ideology commands them to seek ever more power, more control, more authority. To do so, they must steal it from you.
The health insurance industry is simply a metaphor for you. It could be the oil companies. Or the drug companies. Or the coal companies. Or the doctors. Or the patients.
Big government is never to blame. Only you are. And therefore you must surrender more and more of your liberty to the government.
There's a word for this: it's called tyranny.
November will determine whether we begin to resist the slow descent into a Venezuelan-style failed society -- or we resurrect our once-proud Constitutional republic--where the government is limited, not the individual.
...the Obama administration called on health plans to stop "misinformation and scare tactics" about the healthcare reform law... The administration's letter to America's Health Insurance Plans comes after several health plans told customers that they were raising rates in part because of the new law. In it, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius warned: "I want AHIP’s members to be put on notice: the Administration, in partnership with states, will not tolerate unjustified rate hikes in the name of consumer protections."
Sebelius acknowledges that the new law will cause an increase in premiums, albeit "minimal."
"According to our analysis and those of some industry and academic experts, any potential premium impact from the new consumer protections and increased quality provisions under the Affordable Care Act will be minimal," she writes. "We estimate that that the effect will be no more than one to two percent."
Excessive premium hikes, Sebelius warns, will not be tolerated.
"We will also keep track of insurers with a record of unjustified rate increases: those plans may be excluded from health insurance Exchanges in 2014. Simply stated, we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium hikes and increased profits on the requirement that they provide consumers with basic protections."

Venezuela president Hugo Chávez warns shops not to raise prices
President Hugo Chávez has ordered Venezuelan troops to raid shops and businesses that raise prices today in the wake of a big currency devaluation.
"Right now, there is absolutely no reason for anybody to be raising prices of absolutely anything," he said yesterday . "I want the national guard on the streets with the people to fight against speculation. Publicly denounce the speculator and we will intervene in any business of any size."
...Speaking on his weekly TV show yesterday, Chávez said blame for any price rises would lie with speculators. The socialist leader told his defence minister to prepare an "offensive" against speculators and gave out telephone numbers to report price gouging.
Sebelius and Chavez have helpfully illustrated for us the madness of socialism: when the central planners' plans fail -- as they inevitably do -- they blame not themselves, but their victims. They do so because their failed ideology commands them to seek ever more power, more control, more authority. To do so, they must steal it from you.

Ground Zero Imam: If Intolerant Americans Force Mosque Move, Tolerant Muslims Will 'Explode' With 'Anger'
Despite some rumors to the contrary, it would appear that the Ground Zero Mosque isn't moving. New York One reports that Doctor Tolerance ain't going anywhere.
Further, Rauf has amped up the inflammatory rhetoric over the last few days, stating that if intolerant Americans burn a Koran that rampant terrorism will result.
That's what you call a not-so-veiled threat.
In another example of the famed tolerance for which Rauf's world is famous, a new holiday called Burn an American Flag Day was just declared.
Tolerant!
Related: Let me see if I get this straight....
The imam and developers of the of the proposed Downtown Manhattan Islamic community center say that their project is not moving away from a location near the World Trade Center, despite numerous claims during the day that a deal was reached to move the mosque... Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, developer Sharif El-Gamal and Soho Properties said in statements today that the Park51 Islamic community center and mosque is not moving from the current location on Park Place.
Further, Rauf has amped up the inflammatory rhetoric over the last few days, stating that if intolerant Americans burn a Koran that rampant terrorism will result.
...capping a daylong rhetorical offensive that began Wednesday morning with an opinion piece in The New York Times, Rauf said he intends to go ahead with the "multifaith" center near the site where Islamic terrorists killed nearly 2,800 people because not doing so would unleash fury abroad.
"If we move from that location, the story will be that the radicals have taken over the discourse," Rauf told CNN. "The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack.
"...if we don't do this right, anger will explode in the Muslim world. If we don't do things correctly, this crisis could become much bigger than the Danish cartoon crisis [over images depicting the Prophet Mohammed], which resulted in attacks on Danish embassies in various parts of the Muslim world. And we have a much bigger footprint in the Muslim world."
That's what you call a not-so-veiled threat.
In another example of the famed tolerance for which Rauf's world is famous, a new holiday called Burn an American Flag Day was just declared.
In retaliation for wackadoodle pastor Terry Jones’s Burn a Koran Day on 9/11, a British Muslim activist has called for an international “Burn the Stars and Stripes Day.”
A radical Islamic activist and lawyer in the U.K. has called on Muslims worldwide to burn U.S. flags outside American embassies on Sept. 11, a “direct retaliation” against a Florida church’s plan to burn Qurans on the same day.
Anjem Choudary, former leader of the banned hardline Islamic group Islam4UK, told CBS News in London he was calling for, “an international burn the Stars and Stripes day” on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Tolerant!
