Howard Dean: We Are A Nation Of 310 Million, Not Individuals
On The Morning Joe, Thursday, Howard Dean, while defending Obama’s, “You didn’t build that” speech, made it clear what the modern Democrat Party believes.
And then he coughs on his hand, gross, hasn’t he gotten the orders from Sebelius to use his elbow? Geez, don’t shake Howard’s hand, just sayin’.
For the record, I don’t watch The Morning Joe, I have no interest in the show, but my husband made it a point to come and tell me when he watched it on Thursday. He will sit through really bad movies until the bitter end as well.
Scarborough, although I figured out where he was headed with his explanation of conservative philosophy, doesn’t seem to have a very good handle on it, and after tripping over himself to bring Dean in the conversation, he then doesn’t even react to Dean’s words.
Howard Dean said, “We are a nation of 310 million people, not a nation of individuals.”
Somehow, we are one. I disagree vehemently with Obama, Dean, Emmanuel, Sebelius, Napolitano, and so on, but I’m at one with them? How does that work?
If somebody takes my hand, (not Dean, hopefully, what a germy gross-out) and says I’m going to go with them, and I don’t want to go, I pull back and away and say no. Are they saying I have no free will in their view? I have no choices? I have no say?
In that sentence, in defense of Obama, and in line with his world view, I am nothing.
In that world view, I am not special, I have no self-worth, I am not in charge of my life.
It’s not surprising that Joe Scarborough didn’t react to that sentence, but it should scare the hell out of you.

UTPW Presented by image consultant los angelesMark Levin Gives Unvarnished Truth
MARK LEVIN: We conservatives, we do not accept bipartisanship in the pursuit of tyranny. Period. We will not negotiate the terms of our economic and political servitude. Period. We will not abandon our child to a dark and bleak future. We will not accept a fate that is alien to the legacy we inherited from every single future generation in this country. We will not accept social engineering by politicians and bureaucrats who treat us like lab rats, rather than self-sufficient human beings. There are those in this country who choose tyranny over liberty. They do not speak for us, 57 million of us who voted against this yesterday, and they do not get to dictate to us under our Constitution.
We are the alternative. We will resist. We're not going to surrender to this. We will not be passive, we will not be compliant in our demise. We're not good losers, you better believe we're sore losers! A good loser is a loser forever. Now I hear we're called 'purists.' Conservatives are called purists. The very people who keep nominating moderates, now call us purists the way the left calls us purists. Yeah, things like liberty, and property rights, individual sovereignty, and the Constitution, and capitalism. We're purists now. And we have to hear this crap from conservatives, or pseudo-conservatives, Republicans.
"It always amazes me the sheer number of women who defend abortion. Legal abortion has killed 52 million innocents since '73, that means 26 million roughly, were women.

I don't deny that global warming exists. It does not exist. There is not a pink elephant in my kitchen. I'm not denying it. It is not there. If I denied that there was a pink elephant in my kitchen, it would have to be there, but I would be lying to myself and everyone and walk around it to cook. But it is not there, therefore, I am not denying that it is.
MICHIGAN HEADLINES
Snyder pushes to extend Medicaid to 470,000 Michiganders -- 'care for people who need it'
Snyder said Wednesday that he unconditionally supports expanding the state's Medicaid rolls by roughly 470,000 people. There are 1.9 million people receiving benefits now.
"We're all here to support expanding Medicaid," Snyder said at a news conference called by a large coalition of groups that support the expansion. "We're moving forward with care for people who need it."
Editorial: Snyder does right and healthy thing by backing Medicaid expansion
The ever-illogical argument that insuring more people will actually cost less. "But health care providers and advocates for the uninsured argue that the state will actually save money -- as much as $1 billion in the first decade -- if fewer residents have to rely on expensive emergency room facilities to address non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries."
Susan J. Demas: Will Tea Party Republicans fight Rick Snyder on expanding Medicaid under Obamacare?
Susan Dumass is really quite pedestrian. "The only thing standing in between 450,000 low-income Michiganders and health insurance is Tea Party Republicans' deep-seated hatred of Obamacare."

In a switch, GOP governors back expanding Medicaid
This week, Michigan’s Rick Snyder became the sixth GOP governor to propose expanding his state’s health insurance program to cover more low-income residents, in line with the Democratic administration’s strong recommendation.
'Obamacare,' distrust of federal government heat up debate over Medicaid expansion in Michigan
Now that he's made the decision, Snyder must sell the plan to the state legislature, where some members of his own party have repeatedly attempted to distance themselves from the faintest whiff of "Obamacare."
- I can find neither solace or comfort in government. I cannot find hope nor light among those pretending to take my best interest to heart. I cannot worship or revere another human being because there are none alive that can instill my faith. Give me the One God; the One Who had created the heavens and earth and had purposefully breathed life into me. The One Who dwells in the secret place and watches over me and always keeps me company when all others abandoned me. But for Him I would have no purpose in this life; thank you Dear God.















Jen, I am freely willing to walk hand in hand with you and all true conservatives !!
Com'on Jen give them a break!
They were indoctrinated beginning in kindergarten and then in high school they contracted the disease called socialism. It's not their fault.
Only Freedom can be the cure.
End the fed,

Before SS, before Medicare and before Wilson and the 16th Amendment and before Howard Dean was born we were a country that did just fine without the political class that Dean represents. Exactly what is he trying to say? That we need the likes of his ilk to make sure that Americans can interact non-volitionally to take care of each other? I not only don’t think so, I know so. Dean and his ilk are associated with our worst days and we rely on the likes of him and re-elect these dolts the worst of these days are yet to come.
Let the 310 million pay the taxes and leave us individuals alone.
Um, but, ah nevermind.
This is a losing issue with these fools yet they persist in doubling down on it with the hope that we will get it. It is not about who puts in the roads and who provides protection and safety? We understand that somethings are done collectively by government and those jobs we pay taxes to have them do.
It is not the job of government to provide for a transfer of wealth and the federal government, unlike state governments, is specifically directed with limited, very restricted authority to spend what they collect in taxes within those parameters.
We know that this ploy by Warren, Obama and Dean is not about what government is empowered to do but about what they would like it to do, that, unfortunately, it has already been doing for a very long time. The fact of the matter is that what they want is more of what they have already gotten which is why we are in this economic morass in the first place. Furthermore, the process has damaged American individualism and the entrepreneurial spirt and has created generations of dependents that have never learned how to participate in the American Dream. Their solution is the problem and when it ceases to be applied the country will begin to heal.
