Democrat senator admits the obvious: ObamaCare is really about redistribution of wealth

You know, we somehow respect socialist Senator Max Baucus a little more just because he tells the truth about ObamaCare that the President won’t tell.

You know, we somehow respect socialist Senator Max Baucus a little more just because he tells the truth about ObamaCare that the President won’t tell.

Baucus: Too often, much of late, the last couple three years the mal-distribution of income in America is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind. Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America.

Got that? Mal-distribution. Not even mis-distribution. Baucus goes straight to mal-distribution.

Sort of like the mal-distribution of power in Washington, DC.

Leading Democrat admits ObamaCare will eventually “control the people”

Longtime Congressman John Dingell, appeared on NewsTalk WJR on March 23, and ‘fessed up what other Democrats know, but won’t admit.

Longtime Congressman John Dingell, appeared on NewsTalk WJR on March 23, and ‘fessed up what other Democrats know, but won’t admit.

“Let me remind you this [Americans allegedly dying because of lack of universal health care] has been going on for years. We are bringing it to a halt. The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.”

Repeal and replace, baby.

Welcome back, McCotter: So this is what hope and change looks like

Thaddeus McCotter, one of our favorite congressmen, notes that Hope & Change has degenerated into Tax & Hate. We’ve never heard him sound quite so serious.

Give ‘em hell, Thad.

Behold your new national anthem, socialist America: The Internationale

Workers of the world unite. In song, that is. Now that ObamaCare has passed and America is officially a socialist nation, you might as well begin learning The Internationale, the anthem of socialists around the world.

What country would you move to? And why?

Ahhh, but where? That’s the question.

As you may be able to tell from the number of Australia-related stories at IHateTheMedia.com, the Editor has a soft spot for the Land Down Under and would move there tomorrow if only he could talk his recalcitrant wife into it.

We doubt that we’re alone in saying that what’s happening to our once great nation inspires thoughts of packing up and going somewhere else.

Sure, the Aussies have their own problems and they tend to mirror our own – an extremely liberal Prime Minister whose poll numbers are plummeting, illegal aliens, and a party in power that’s pushing cap-and-trade, to name just a few.

Even if another country isn’t better, just different, being 10,000 miles away makes the socialization of the United States easier to take.

With that in mind, if you chose self-banishment, what country would you want to live in? And why?

Michael Moore lectures Republicans after Obamacare victory

Michael Moore was kind enough to send us an email this morning. We thought we’d share with you his mocking, lecture, which he addressed to all republicans.

Michael Moore
The fat and happy Michael Moore

Editor is traveling today, so the not-as-funny, f*cking pissed, Administrator is able to rant and rave here with no punch lines.

Michael Moore was kind enough to send us an email this morning. We thought we’d share with you his mocking, lecture, which he addressed to all republicans.

You better get used used to it. Now that Obamacare has passed, and the march to socialism is on, full speed ahead, from our Salinsky-trained, ridiculing president at the top, all the way down to slime like Michael Moore in the gutters of the far left, they are coming after you, with taunting derision now that their Chicago-style “do anything it takes” party of vermin has beaten us on this pivotal issue.

Fellow seekers of liberty: harness the outrage you feel from the volley of jeering attacks to come, out of the lying mouths of those we most despise, to sustain your anger, and channel it into every productive thing you can do to both repeal this bill and to remove the corrupt democrats and any irresolute republicans from office this November.

Obama owns the car companies, wants to buy Boardwalk, Park Place and all the railroads

Why, lord a’mighty, these Washington, DC folks spend tax dollars like Monopoly money. Good thing we have an aggressive cost cutter like Barack Obama in the White House.

O’Reilly: “Is Obama a socialist?”
Newt: “Of course, he is.”

Bill O’Reilly seems absolutely dumbfounded by the answer to the question he asked Newt Gingrich: Is Obama a socialist?

Our moms always said, ”Don’t ask the question if you can’t handle the answer.” Maybe Bill O’Reilly should have followed that advice, because he seems absolutely dumbfounded by the answer to the question he asked Newt Gingrich.

O’Reilly: So the question becomes, “Is the president a socialist?” Let’s remember the definition of socialism that the government controls property and commerce. Does Mr. Obama want to seize your house? I say no others say yes but there’s no question the president wants income redistribution and more government control over things like health care… Talking Points believes the fed should have some oversight on health care companies but the price can be driven down if the companies are allowed to compete nationwide. Why doesn’t the president try that before he sets up another big brother operation in Washington? Look these things are complicated. To call Obama a socialist or communist is over-simplifying. Americans need healthcare relief. There’s no question about it. But, it can be done using competition in the free market place and common sense like tort reform where lawsuits against medical personnel are scrutinized. As we said last week, name-calling gets us nowhere. Good solutions to complicated problems will rule the day. Or, am I wrong? And, that’s a memo and now for the top story, joining us from Washington FOX News analyst Newt Gingrich. He has a free newsletter that you can sign up for at Newt.org. So do you think President Obama’s a socialist?

Gingrich: Sure. Of course he is.

Why are we not surprised that O’Reilly is surprised at Newt’s answer?

Uh-oh. First Lady stocks White House library with books on socialism

Here in the socialist section of the Obama library we see The American Socialist Movement and The Socialist Party of America.

Rob Port of of the SayAnything blog toured the White House on Wednesday and took this photo in the library. He quotes the tour guide as saying the library is stocked with books specifically selected by First Lady herself.

Here in the socialist section of the library we see The American Socialist Movement and The Socialist Party of America.

Obviously, the inclusion of these books means nothing in and of itself. (The Editor of IHateTheMedia.com has biographies of Hitler and Napoleon in his library and that makes him neither a Nazi nor a Bonapartist).

But, as Port notes, it is interesting in light of White House advisor Anita Dunn calling Chairman Mao her favorite philosopher and the First Lady putting a bright, shiny Mao ornament on the White House Christmas tree.

Interesting, no?

Believe it or not, we admire Angelina Jolie for her mind

Until now we wouldn’t have put her mind on a list of things we admire about Angelina Jolie. But an article in US magazine has convinced us to have a change of heart.

Grrrrrrrrr: We admire Angelina Jolie for her mind
Grrrrrrrrr: We admire Angelina Jolie for her mind

Until now we wouldn’t have put her mind on a list of things we admire about Angelina Jolie. But an article in US magazine has convinced us to have a change of heart:

Barack Obama does not have Angelina Jolie’s seal of approval.

“She hates him,” a source close to the U.N. goodwill ambassador, 34, tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now).

“She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise,” adds the source.

But don’t expect to see the Salt actress rally against Democrats on Fox News like her staunch Republican father, Jon Voight.

“Angie isn’t Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors,” the source says.

And that’s where we part ways with the lovely Angelina. Barack Obama is not all smoke and mirrors.

There’s also a liberal helping of bullshit.

Texas governor says Obama’s making America socialist, foreign Communists seem to agree

Texas Governor Rick Perry didn’t mince words in a recent speech: “This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country.”

Texas Governor Rick Perry didn’t mince words in a recent speech:

“This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country.”

While American leftists find this comment shocking, foreign leftists seem to agree with Perry.

Breitbart.com reports:

The Chinese have learned English from his speeches and celebrated the way he rolls up his sleeves. Now President Barack Obama is finally coming, and he’s being greeted with “Oba Mao” T-shirts and a statue of him that bursts into flames.

The Associated Press reveals that Fidel Castro has a man crush on Obama and warmly welcomes him to the ranks of Communist leaders. Or his boudoir. We’re not sure which Castro wants more.

Fidel Castro appears to have a fascination with the American leader that would make Obama Girl jealous, writing obsessively not only about his politics, but of his youth and vigor.

And unlike with past American heads-of-state — he slammed President George W. Bush as a genocidal drunk — Castro seems to genuinely like the fresh face in Washington.

Since handing over the Cuban presidency to his brother in February 2008, the 83-year-old has continued to publish his thoughts in essays called “Reflections of Comrade Fidel,” which are dutifully printed in state media and read repeatedly on government-controlled radio and television.

Hardly a week goes by without a mention of his nemesis to the north, the most recent on Thursday. In an opinion piece that took up an entire newspaper page, Castro waxed philosophic about everything from Obama’s Asia trip to his prospects for re-election.

Last month, Castro pronounced it a good thing that the American president was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In September, he termed Obama’s call-to-action on global warming courageous.

See, Obama is bringing people together. Who ever thought an evil Republican fascist racist homophobe like Rick Perry would find himself agreeing with Fidel Castro, the wise elder of the “progressive” movement?

Uh-oh. Obama losing Socialist support because he has more troops in combat than Bush ever had

A President’s in real trouble when he loses his base. And that’s the only way to interpret the fact that socialists are slip slidin’ away from their early enthusiasm for the Press Event President.

A President’s in real trouble when he loses his base. And that’s the only way to interpret the fact that socialists are slip slidin’ away from their early enthusiasm for the Press Event President.

Here’s how the World Socialist Web Site reports the end of the slobbering love affair:

The combined US troop deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan have now reached a higher level than existed at any time under the presidency of George W. Bush. This surge past the record set by its predecessor marks another grim milestone in the Obama administration’s escalation of American militarism.

In addition to the 21,000 US soldiers and Marines that Obama ordered deployed to Afghanistan as part of the escalation he unveiled last March, another 13,000 “support” troops are being quietly sent to the country with no official announcement, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.

This stealth buildup is a replay of the methods used by the Bush administration in its Iraq surge, when it announced the deployment of an additional 20,000 combat troops while saying nothing about the 8,000 support troops sent with them.

In neither case was the failure to declare the full number an oversight. Obama, like Bush before him, recognizes that the military interventions he oversees are deeply unpopular with the majority of the American people.

According to the troop numbers provided by the Post, there are now 65,000 US troops in Afghanistan, with another 124,000 still in Iraq, for a total of 189,000 American military personnel waging two colonial-style wars and occupations.

At the height of the Bush administration’s 2007 “surge” in Iraq, there were 26,000 US troops in Afghanistan and 160,000 in Iraq, for a total of 186,000.
There is every indication that the policies being pursued by the Obama White House will send these numbers significantly higher.

That early aura of invincibility is slip slidin’ away, Barack, it’s slip slidin’ away. Which is our cheesy way of leading into the Paul Simon video embedded at the top of this story.

SnowbamaCare: Canadians rethinking single-payer monstrosity

Uh-oh. The Canadian Medical Association believes the country’s system is “sick” and needs help from the doctors to cure it.
“We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize,” said Dr. Anne Doig.

Uh-oh. The Canadian Medical Association believes the country’s system is “sick” and needs help from the doctors to cure it.

“We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize,” said Dr. Anne Doig. The doctor added that it’s a little thing called sustainability that’s causing massive problems with the Canadian health care system.

She added, “We know that there must be change. We’re all running flat out, we’re all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands.”

Why, they’re even uttering the unutterable: They want private insurers allowed back in the Canadian system.

It’s almost like our neighbors to the north were adopting a free enterprise system. Or something.

Watch out! Michelle Obama has her eye on your pie

“The truth is most Americans don’t want much,” Michelle Obama insisted during the campaign. That someone, of course, does not include Michelle nor her brood.

Michelle Obama likes pie. Especially your pie. Doesn’t matter how hard you worked to get your pie, she wants it. In fact, she thinks it would be a really good idea if everyone had a piece of your pie.

Here’s what the First Lady said on the campaign trail on April 8, 2008.

“The truth is most Americans don’t want much. Folks don’t want the whole pie. Most Americans feel blessed to thrive a little bit. But that’s out of reach for them. The truth is, in order to get things like universal healthcare and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”

That someone, of course, does not include Michelle nor her brood. No, they’ll be grabbing pieces of everyone’s pies during their upcoming vacation at a plush Martha’s Vineyard estate. No one’s quite sure what this little getaway will cost the taxpayers, but similar properties in the area go for as much as $50,000 per week.

We don’t begrudge the Obamas their chance to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

We just wish they’d keep their hands off our pie.

European left loses again: Bulgaria’s conservatives win by wide margin

Bulgaria’s right-wing opposition party has swept Sunday’s vote by a wide margin over the corrupt Socialist coalition.

Boris Borisov conservative wins Bulgaria Election
Boris Borisov, the new leader of Bulgaria, was once a bodyguard. He was never a community organizer.

The official results are now in and Bulgaria’s right-wing opposition party has swept Sunday’s vote by a wide margin over the corrupt Socialist coalition.

Despite their cumbersome name, the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria Party – led by Sofia Mayor Boiko Borisov – walked away with 39.7% of the vote.

The Socialists finished a distant second with just 17.7% of the vote. The Turkish MRF party took 14.5%. The ultra-nationalist Attack Party had 9.4% and the right-wing Blue Coalition had 6.7%.

“This is a serious victory for the right-wing parties,” said a spokesman for the Blue Coalition. “It is the big comeback of the rightist parties and a considerable punishing vote for the incumbent coalition.”

Europe is racing to the right. Obama is racing to the left. Somebody’s way off course and we’re pretty sure we know who it is.

Liberalism in retreat: First in Europe, now in Argentina

It appears that Fernandez’ Peronist party will lose its majority in Argentina’s lower house and barely cling to a majority in the Senate.

Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner is hot, her interventionist policies are not

In last month’s European elections, liberalism was rejected in one country after another. Now you can add Argentina to the list of countries going conservative.

Reuters reports: “Argentines cast ballots in congressional elections on Sunday and are expected to throw out allies of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in a rejection of her interventionist economic policies and combative style.”

Fernandez is a leftist often compared to Hillary Clinton because she succeeded her husband, ex-President Nestor Kirchner. Under her rule, Argentina’s economy has stagnated after a six-year expansion. As a result, Fernandez has seen her approval rating fall to a mere 30%.

It appears that Fernandez’ Peronist party will lose its majority in Argentina’s lower house and barely cling to a majority in the Senate.

And she didn’t even have an auto industry to nationalize.

Palin gives Obama a lesson in the free market economy. Piper Palin, that is.

We don't know if Piper Palin is violating any health codes, but she's definitely obeying the law of supply and demand
We don't know if Piper Palin is violating any health codes, but she's definitely obeying the law of supply and demand
Up in the wilds of Juneau, Alaska Sarah Palin’s eight year old daughter Piper has struck a blow against President Obama’s socialist agenda.

Since mom Sarah Palin has risen to national prominence, tour companies have begun running busses through the neighborhood where the governor’s mansion is located. Carloads of tourists are flooding the neighborhood, too.

Noticing the increased traffic through her neighborhood, the entrepreneurial eight year old set up a lemonade stand in front of the mansion and has begun selling the tart treat to tourists. The budding entrepreneur seems to understand capitalism and how the free market works than the entire Obama administration.

Piper Palin better watch out.

Next thing you know, the FDA will swoop in and tell her she’s violating health standards. The IRS will want to see her sales records. Tim Geithner will force her to take TARP funds. And President Obama will force her out of the lemonade stand she founded and turn it over to his allies in the United Lemonworkers Union.

Maggie Thatcher gives the socialists hell in the House of Commons. Sit back and enjoy.

Entering the British House of Commons is like jumping into a shark tank. If you bleed, you die.

This video clip shows British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s final moments before the House of Commons back on November 22, 1990. You can’t help but feel pride as she defends her brand of conservatism against the attacks of British socialists.

My god, she was a tough old dame. And we say that in the best sense of the word.

When will some young conservative to step up and become the next Ronald Reagan or Maggie Thatcher?

C’mon, we’ve never needed you like we need you now.

If this isn’t socialism, could someone please tell us what it is?

Here’s how General Motors described its transformation into Government Motors in a press release on Monday:

“As a result of its ownership of GM common stock, the U.S. Treasury will be able to elect all of our directors and to control the vote on substantially all matters brought for a stockholder vote. In addition, through its stockholder voting rights and election of directors, and its role as a significant lender to us, the U.S. Treasury will be able to exercise significant influence and control over our business if it elects to do so.”

Just to make sure everyone’s in agreement on the terminology, here’s how Merriam-Webster.com defines socialism:

“Any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.”

We can’t help but remember all those commentators who were shocked when Tea Party participants called Obama a socialist.
