Hugo Chavez Doesn’t Like It When You Drink

Published by Mockarena on June 15, 2010 in Really?. 3 Comments Tags: , , , , .

According to this, Hugo Chavez has ordered the military to “crack down” on operations that sell beer on the street or after hours. He’s also toying around with the idea of raising taxes on alcohol and cigarettes again (he tried that once before a few years ago as well).

He said in a speech, “There are liquor stores open at any hour where people can go and buy liquor. What is that? Is this a brothel or something? Venezuela is no brothel!”

Wow. Over-dramatic much?

Apparently this whole socialism thing that Hugo loves so much “requires a moral crusade to change Venezuelans’ values.” A moral crusade of military crackdowns and legislation. Neat!

I wonder what Sean Penn and Oliver Stone and all of the other celebrity morons who have their lips firmly planted on Hugo’s assular area will think about this?

Now That Healthcare Has Passed, Where’s My Free Lunch?

Published by Daisy on April 13, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 12 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Actual People (that vote, no less) think that their free lunch has arrived in the wake of the passage of the healthcare bill. According to this article (and several others), callers have flooded the phone lines of insurance companies – namely ehealthinsurance – to ask where in the heck their free health insurance is.

The company says they’ve received hundreds of thousands of calls from consumers, 80,000 of which came in in March. Most of the help-seekers are asking questions about when the bill takes effect and what changes they’re going to see, but many are under the impression that they’re going to get coverage for free, says Carrie McLean, a consumer specialist for the company.

We actually started to get calls right when President Obama was elected from people thinking that things were going to change instantly. Once the bill passed, we started to get calls into our call center from people wanting to know if they were going to have ‘free Obama care.’ People are confused about what the bill means, and what’s in it.

I guess I can see where people would be confused about what’s actually in the bill. Hell, CONGRESS doesn’t even know what’s in the bill. But I digress.

You know what this sickening display of entitlement reminded me of? This awesome clip:

Bend over to receive your hope and change, everyone.

You know what the problem is with America these days, everyone? That the left is just doing a piss-poor job of selling socialism.

They just need to be better salespeople. That’s it!

Holy crap on a stick.

People With Actual Brains Call It Socialism. Joey McMensa Calls It “Fairness.” And A Big F*cking Deal, Of Course.

Isn’t that adorable? I love it when Marxists think that semantics will pacify the sheeple. Absolutely precious in a pat-you-lemmings-on-the-head sort of way.

When asked about redistribution of wealth, Joey McMensa would like you dumb sheeple to know that it’s merely being FAIR. Because, well, you all are dumber than him. And that’s scary dumb.

I can’t believe anyone still listens to this dude and gives him a shred of credit. In fact, I wonder if he plagiarized this clip.

Unfreakinbelievable.

“This Is What Change Looks Like”

Socialism and lies. Yep. That’s precisely what it looks like.

Bend over everyone, and please take your change.

Yay Universal Healthcare!

According to the UK Daily Mail online, that whole socialized medicine thing is just plain awesome. And by awesome, I obviously mean sucktastic and not very healthy at all.

Here’s the gist of the story:

A man of 22 died in agony of dehydration after three days in a leading teaching hospital.
Kane Gorny was so desperate for a drink that he rang police to beg for their help. They arrived on the ward only to be told by doctors that everything was under control. The next day his mother Rita Cronin found him delirious and he died within hours. She said nurses had failed to give him vital drugs which controlled fluid levels in his body. ‘He was totally dependent on the nurses to help him and they totally betrayed him.’

Basically, the kid was dying of a brain tumor. He was thirsty. People get that way – especially after days of not being given freakin’ water. You know.

The death certificate listed the cause of death as a ‘water deficit’ and ‘hypernatraemia’….semantically correct phrases for dehydration.

This was a TEACHING HOSPITAL. And, 32 people were responsible for this kid’s care. THIRTY TWO. His death came a week after a report surfaced that shed light on “hundreds of deaths at Stafford Hospital revealed the appalling quality of care given by many of the nurses.”

His mother asked, “How could this happen in the 21st century?”

I ask that every time this stupid healthcare crap comes up. Probably not a coincidence.

This Is What Universal Healthcare Looks Like.

It looks like this dude:

In case you don’t know this dude, he’s Danny Williams, the ninth Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. He’s a public servant of Canada. A supporter of Canada and its politics. And by being a public servant of the country, he’s probably a big supporter of the whole Canadian healthcare system. You know.

Interesting thing, though. He just got back from Miami (one of those cities in the United States where right now, at least, there is no socialized medicine and all) “to have a minimally invasive” surgery for an ailment first detected nearly a year ago, based on the advice of his doctors.”

His statement about fleeing to the U.S. for decent, as opposed to sh*tty, universal Canadian healthcare:

“This was my heart, my choice and my health. I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics.”

Isn’t that convenient for him? I thought so, too, seeing as how he has gobs of money and can afford to fly himself to the United States for a “minimally-invasive” surgery at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in sunny Miami. Must be nice when everyone else in your country has to wait in line for such things, Mr. Hypocrite Man.

He went on to say that “his decision to go to the U.S. did not reflect any lack of faith in his own province’s health care system.”

“I have the utmost confidence in our own health care system in Newfoundland and Labrador, but we are just over half a million people,” he said.

Riiiiight. And if you believe that, I have this great pyramid scheme you may be interested in as well.

I’d just like to point out that this guy is no different than the Reids and Pelosis and Obamas who are shoving “universal” healthcare down your throat. Make no mistake, people – THEY WON’T FREAKIN’ USE IT, BECAUSE IT’LL SUCK. But guess what? You’ll have to – because you’re a stupid commoner lemming who really needs the big, smart government to make such choices for you.

Yay for all us stupid commoner lemmings and that whole “reformed” healthcare thing. GAWD.

And, Once Again, Boehner Tells It Like It Is

Published by Daisy on December 21, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 5 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Unfortunately, Washington doesn’t give a rat’s behind.

From the Gateway Pundit this morning, here’s John Boehner’s statement about the healthcare monkey poo legislation that’s been rammed through the first vote. In the wee hours of the morning, mind you.

“The American people have rejected the Democrats’ government-run approach to health care loudly and clearly, and it’s time to scrap Senator Reid’s bill and start over. The bill will fundamentally change something as personal and important as the relationship between a patient and a doctor, and yet Democrats are attempting to sneak the bill through before Christmas in the hopes the American people aren’t watching what they’re doing. Why? Because Senator Reid knows the more the American people find out about this bill, the more they oppose it.

“The Democrats’ government takeover of health care will increase premiums for families and small businesses, raise taxes during a recession, cut seniors’ Medicare benefits, add to our skyrocketing debt, and put bureaucrats in charge of decisions that should be made by patients and doctors. The bill also authorizes government-funded abortions, violating long-standing policies prohibiting federal funding of abortion. That’s not reform. My message to the American people is now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to fight harder. When the American people are engaged, Washington listens. Now is the time to speak out, more loudly and clearly than ever, against this monstrosity.”

Yep. I think that pretty much sums it up.

Time to get louder, everyone. Because apparently, the botox buildup in Nancy’s cranium has made her deaf.

I Couldn’t Agree With You More, Mr. Steele…

I think Michael Steele is one cool cat, but I haven’t always agreed with him. On this subject, though? I agree wholeheartedly. When you strip all of Obama and the Dems’ anger at Wall Street down to what it really is – you get what they’ve always wanted: a “fundamental effort to redistribute the wealth to government.”

Simply put – they want more power, folks. And it blows my mind how leftist “intellectuals” can’t wrap their brains around that. It irritates the living crap out of me as a thinking, taxpaying, already-paying-almost-half-my-freakin-paycheck-to-you-jerks citizen.

Oh yeah, and just to reiterate a post from earlier today – federal employees sure are getting big bonuses this year. And their salaries have been astronomical. Huh….interesting how THAT is O.K. in the eyes of those who crave the power. And consequently, more of you and your family’s money.

Howard Dean On Human Nature And Other Stuff

Maxine Waters (D-CA), Circa 2008

Published by Mockarena on November 15, 2009 in Really?. 6 Comments Tags: , .

A clever and competent reader sent me this clip – which is an oldie but a goodie – of Maxine Waters from May of 2008 referring to herself as “this liberal” and accidentally singing the praises of government take-overs and socialism. The way she stumbles over her words is hilarious, especially given that once she realizes her slip, she doesn’t really end up making it any better.

So yeah – it’s over a year old, but it’s a nice little reminder of what “these liberals” have in mind for how to run the country.

Speaking Of Lying…

obama-liar

I love this article in the American Thinker today. It ties in nicely with yesterday’s entry on him lying, as well as the other gazillion entries we’ve put out here on COTR to call the President out on his lying and absolute void of accountability for doing so.

The quote at the beginning of the article says it all, really:

“A lie told often enough becomes truth.” – Vladimir Lenin

What Obama does is not Clinton’s “likeable information,” but rather he has a true gift of boldface lying. He’s a “special breed” of liar. Lenin once said, “Medicine is the keystone in the arch of socialism.” To embark upon such an ambitious project that has yet failed at every attempt, President Obama must lie, since it is clear that a sizeable majority opposes his healthcare reform.

And, when he’s caught in a lie, he lies again to cover the first, second, and third lies. It’s a lying avalanche, really. And people BUY it.

According to the author, the authentic Socialist is not driven by morality or truth, but by the end that justifies the means. Here are all the lovely little healthcare lie examples the author gives to support his hypothesis:

  • Obama says he doesn’t want a single payer system – but yet, he’s HE’S BEEN FILMED saying that he wants a single payer system. Um, OK.
  • He says, “You will not be waiting in any lines,” but Section 1151 of HR 3200 penalizes hospitals for the costs incurred in readmitting patients, permitting the Health and Human Services Secretary to “reduce” payments to hospitals for readmission, a decision likely to force the sick out into the cold.
  • He ridicules right-wing people for talking about death panels, but they actually exist under another bill introduced by the Obama Administration. Still, he’ll flat-out say that they don’t exist at all. Alrighty then.
  • He says that private insurance won’t be affected and those of us who have insurance will be able to keep it. What he lies about is the fact that individual Americans will only be allowed to obtain private plans for a 5 year grace period, and government plans will become the default should citizens switch employers.
  • He says that 46 million Americans are not covered. LIE. The real number, when you boil out all the illegal aliens, people who choose not to get insurance, and dependents – is 5 million.
  • He said that a bureaucrat won’t get in between me and my coverage, but then he acted as though he had a freakin’ medical degree when responding to a townhall participant, saying that “Look, there may be — in nine out of 10 cases, the generic might work as well or better than the brand name. And we don’t want to just subsidize the drug companies if you’ve got one that works just as well as another.” Isn’t he the highest level of bureacracy? Just checking.
  • And, my personal favorite lie is his ridiculous, DELUSIONAL claim that this whole healthcare thing is going to REDUCE THE DEFICIT. Anyone with Actual Brains knows that this is impossible. Simply and utterly impossible. Just ask the CBO.

The author ends with a pretty creepy quote basically about how people WANT SO BADLY to believe him, so they will.  And they continue to do so.  Like sweet little lobotomized lemmings…

I wonder what it’s like to have absolutely no conscience whatsoever….

Here’s A Great Idea! Let’s Trade Our Health Care For Something Like Britain’s…

Socialized_Medicine

Um, people think this is actually a good idea. After reading this article yesterday about bed shortages in maternity wards have forced about 4000 women to give birth in hospital corridors, “lifts, offices, and hospital toilets” (yes, you read that correctly), I was just filled with glee to read this article this morning about 1 million people who have been subjected to “‘neglectful, demeaning, painful and sometimes downright cruel’ care under NHS.

The maternity wards “shut their doors to any more women in labour on 553 occasions last year.” In just the past two years alone, here’s where women gave birth – compliments of the stellar government-run healthcare system:

  • 63 births in ambulances and 608 in transit to hospitals;
  • 117 births in A&E departments, four in minor injury units and two in medical assessment areas;
  • 115 births on other hospital wards and 36 in other unspecified areas including corridors;
  • 399 in parts of maternity units other than labour beds, including postnatal and antenatal wards and reception areas.

Beyond the maternity ward issue, there’s this general neglect-thing going on, too. 

Here’s a lovely example: “Pamela Goddard, a piano teacher from Bletchingley, in Surrey, was 82 and suffering with cancer but was left in her own excrement and her condition deteriorated due to her bed sores.”

Aaaand another: “Florence Weston, from Sedgley in the West Midlands, died aged 85 and had to remain without food or water for several days as her hip operation was repeated cancelled.”

But hey everyone – even though 85% of us are insured and HAPPY with that insurance in this country, we should sacrifice quality care for the 15% that don’t.  And, oh yeah – pay a couple trillion bucks to do so.

YAY for NO COMMON SENSE!

Well, If The Shoe Fits…

obama-joker-poster

One of our clever and competent readers from California sent this to me today. Apparently, this poster is popping up all over Los Angeles and surrounding areas, multiplying like bunnies, presumably over the pending Obamacare legislation. No one is claiming responsibility for it, which makes it even more buzzworthy.

And of course, liberals are finding it “offensive.” But I say, if the shoe fits…..well, you know where this is going. The truth really does hurt sometimes, I guess. Especially when you don’t use it very much…

From “Moderate” To Marxist

Published by Daisy on July 29, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , .

I’m just going to start this out by saying, yeah…yeah….I know some people on the left are going to attack me for using the word, “Marxist.” But you know what? At this point, after 6 months, I think it’s become quite obvious that Obama is a Marxist. He may not come right out and say it, but when it looks like a freakin’ duck and walks like a freakin’ duck. Yeah. You get my point.

And, this video and its corresponding transcript- albeit a bit lengthy – is a great synopsis of the things he’s done in the name of Marxism, really. A clever and competent reader sent it my way this morning, and I felt compelled to share, in case you missed it.

The highlights?
Beck starts with that classic line from an unidentified woman during the election that said, “I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help him, he’s going to help me.”

And, some of us thought that was ridiculous. But yeah….it’s sort of coming true now, isn’t it?

Then, there was this lovely quote from one of Obama’s books:

“I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos, the MARXIST professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance pullets.”

And then there’s the “community organization” angle, the promise of an AmeriCorps-type volunteer organization that would be just as strong and well-funded as the U.S. military, and of course, those communist mentors, such as Frank Marshall Davis. Or his view on taxation. He said it clear as day, folks. He believed in spreading the wealth then, and he really believes in it now. And, most of us knew at least a little bit about all this crap before the election, but Obamabot-mania set in, and even some of my intelligent conservative and/or moderate-conservative friends fell into the disbelief that Obama was really just a moderate. I mean, a Marxist wouldn’t be running for President of the United States, right?

Yeah, right.

The video is compelling in that it points out that we knew this as a nation – we knew about these tendencies toward the extreme left. The dude’s ALWAYS been a Marxist. So, I guess the joke is on America, huh?

I’ll let you decide for yourself:
