...ignoring very legitimate news stories of wide general interest and all, when those stories tend to portray Obama & The Dems in a rather unfavorable light. But at least I ignore these stories for legitimate reasons (as explained below), unlike the mainstream media ("MSM"). Here are three biggies I've ignored this week, just like the MSM:1. Mr. "Redistribution of Wealth," Mark One -- Dr. Donald Berwick. Obama waited until a Senate recess this week to appoint this far left-winger as administrator of Medicare and Medicaid since the recess appointment allows Obama & Berwick to bypass the Senate confirmation process. Among this extremist's more choice quotes from as recently as 2008: "Excellent health care is by definition redistributional" and "any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized, and humane must — must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate."
I can just hear the Far Left retort to this one right now (even though I haven't bothered to read any of it on the Net this week): "Bush and other repub presidents have also made recess appointments!" (The Far Left is SO predictable, after all (much like the Far Right)). And the Far Left is so correct! Two Wrongs Always Make a Right! Not to mention, I'd challenge them to Show Me a recess appointment by the repubs who was as obviously this extreme as this Berwick. And a final note: I love how these loony left-wingers continue to maintain vehemently that Obama and his minions aren't truly "socialist" since they technically don't want to take over EVERY SINGLE mode of production (rather, just as many as possible) in our industries and economy -- sort of the Hugo Chavez model! "Some private industry will endure!"
2. Mr. "Redistribution of Wealth," Mark Two -- Dr. John Holdren, Obama's Science Czar, whose statements from 2008 came to light this week of espousing the need for a new carbon tax so that wealth from northern hemisphere countries like the U.S. can be redistributed to the nations in the southern hemisphere. Boy, THAT'S REALLY within the mainstream of American opinion! But if you follow the MSM, Holdren never made any such far-leftist statements. Like the tree that falls in the forest without anyone around to hear it.
3. The allegations by a former attorney in Obama's Department of Justice, J. Christian Adams, who testified before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission that the DOJ, under leftist Eric Holder's direction, walked away from the Philadelphia "New Black Panthers Party" caught-on-tape voter intimidation case (against NBPP leader Malik Zulu Shabazz and others) because of race considerations. "I was told by [the DOJ's] Voting Section management that cases are not going to be brought against black defendants for the benefit of white victims," testified Adams. I realize these are one man's (and he is a repub) allegations, but no coverage by the MSM? Please.
I felt compelled to at least mention these rather outrageous items on my blog, but I certainly didn't talk about them or feature them in stand-alone posts as they broke in the non-MSM earlier this week. Why did I ignore them? Well, they just struck me as about Example Nos. 1678, 1679 and 1680 of how radical-left Obama & his White House is. Big Yawn, frankly.
And was any of this surprising even from Example Nos. 1, 2 and 3 (whatever those were) back in January 2009? Good Grief, people, this man had the most left-wing voting record in the Senate during his tenure there, which is very much saying something. If you feel like you were hoodwinked into voting for him, you largely only have yourself to blame (although I am sympathetic to the argument of how Obama very disingenuously ran a generic, generalities-based campaign pretending to be some kind of mainstream moderate). Plus McCain was an awful candidate, at least in 2008 (and I sure as hell didn't vote for him either).
So forgive me for growing a tad bit bored with all of the extremist outrages that come from Obama and his White House on a virtual daily basis. BUT, never fear, Far Left, because I'm always watching your slimy asses! Always watching, even if not Ragin' in particular instances. I See Everything (although without my glasses at about 3:30 in the morning, I don't tend to see things so well). And as always, to all you conservatives and repub politicians: You out-of-touch, extremist-controlled ass-munches, lacking any coherent plan for the future, can go **** yourselves too!
Quick Postscript as I get ready to post this: OMG! I just saw deranged right-winger Tucker Carlson on Fox News refer to Obama as "His Majesty". I invented that! I used that for all of my references to Obama in 2009 from about April through the end of the summer or so (go back in my archives and check it out). I finally stopped using it because it just smacked so much of Rush Slimebaugh-esque demented right-winger namecalling stuff. But dude (His Majesty) does very much carry himself around with a very arrogant, thin-skinned, condescending manner that's most reminiscent of a monarch (or Richard Nixon, at the very least). That's why I used to call him "His Majesty," and apparently some of the Far Right talking heads have been consulting my archives! Funny stuff.
