From Conservapedia‘s rather partisan front page, we learn:
- The recent HCR Act is just like (just like!) the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 also pushed through by the Democrats — and it triggered the American Civil War!
- A 38 second YouTube clip of Alcee Hastings is all we need to know to accuse Democrats of making up rules as “we go along”.
- They’re full of happy anticipation about the effort to recall Senator Menendez
- They cannot quote ABC News directly but must quote Michelle Malkin quoting ABC News: It has to be vetted by a conservative before they can believe it! In any case, there’s an article from February on the ABC site that asserts that $2B of stimulus money has gone to Chinese wind energy firms.
Visiting Michelle Malkin directly we learn how disgusting Democratic gloating is. RMG has some of this sentiment. Taking a stand against gloating, Free Republic has a post encouraging their readers to sign the DCCC-sponsored thank you card to Nancy Pelosi.
At NRO, Bill Bennett is convinced that the HCR bill will affect the 2010 election which will be a “clearing of the jungle”. I think that phrase was meant to go with the complaint by Bill Burck and Dana Perino entitled “Hate Obamacare? You’re Probably Racist.” Or possibly Bennet was thinking of the jungles in Europe?
At Red State, newly anointed CNN commentator Erick Erickson is concerned that Mitch McConnell isn’t sufficiently vigorous in his opposition to the Democratic agenda. Per E.E., he’s too afraid of being the “Party of No”.
Both sides now censor 911 truth.
<
p>Mainstream pundits on both sides enforce the mediocracy of acceptable sheepledome. What do I mean by that?
The anti-war left, the anti-war anti-torture left ignored several years of the Bush administration’s North American Union project. Who did bring it up? The John Birch Society. That “right-tard”, Lou Dobbs. An “opposition” party that wasn’t.
<
p>Fast forward to the “election”. John “crimalien” McCain and Sarah “WTF” Palin? This is the best America has to offer?
<
p>When did I start leaving the side of the left? It was 2006 when Nancy Pelosi vetted and endorsed the Bush Wars of Error by pushing HR-1, a Homeboy Stupidity Bill. This “news”, the galactic let down was of all things featured in a Thank you for your support letter. Talk about getting slapped across the side of my face.
<
p>I go back and forth about which party is more dogmatic, more dangerous. Is it the warhawks on the right or the Clockwork Orange social engineering intellectuals of the left. Only time and our certain future third worldish banana republic will tell.
<
p>Next up is news from a source you will all ignore.
It is from wearechange.org and it anaylzes statements from that crappy software mogul Bill Gates about culling world population as a “green” initiative.

to global issues. How the hell did he become a billionaire?
At first I assumed this was completely out of order, and I still personally believe that it is, but apparently a state appellate court says the effort can proceed. I assume the precedent set by SCOTUS regarding states setting federal term limits would suggest they also cannot recall federal officials since the Constitution does not provide for such. Of course, I don’t believe in recalls on principle. There should not be snap elections because people are upset by a vote.
did you make me look at some of those sites? I have a headache.
<
p>Seriously … libs need to reach out to our despondent conservative friends and family. Maybe there’s an opportunity here: If they come to know that the world’s not going to end as the result of the law, then maybe they’ll be a little more open-minded on other issues as well.
<
p>The outrage and desperation is a reaction to the political defeat, not the actual substance of the law.
Two reasons: (1) I wanted to know whether there was anything I was missing and (2) I was curious.
<
p>On (1), I think I overlook the likelihood that the GOP is going to complain vociferously about how the stimulus funds were spent. Their base is convinced that the ARRA was corrupt, a means for the Democratic Party to pay off its base. I’d expect a lot more stories like that by November and they will require some hunting down.
on this site after the Scott Brown victory.
“The outrage and desperation is a reaction to the political defeat, not the actual substance of the law.”
<
p>Since the political game is all they care about, not policy, not truth, and certainly not people, of course they’d be reacting to the political defeat…
<
p>After all, if they stopped and THOUGHT for one cotton-picking minute, they’d realize this HCR was basically what their own party submitted as an alternative to Clinton’s almost two decades ago.
I came across this tidbit from David Frum, with the ongoing replies and jawing:

p>He seems to think it’s the conservatives’ and Republicans’ Waterloo.
In this other thread.
I wonder: Is Mr. Frum’s following large, small, or microscopic? No Republican office holder holds his perspective. Are Frummites purely an elite or intellectual movement, say, like neo-liberalism or the Frankfurt School?
I typically think of him as the guy who publicly claimed credit for the line “axis of evil”. That’s a no-no, and the Cult of Bush has shunned him ever since. He may speak to the reasonable minds in the conservative movement, but that’s not enough to make a living wage…
