Let us start with Obama, who's poll numbers are entering into W territory as the Obamacare plan is unraveling before our eyes. The worst part about all of it is that Obama has to take some of the blame for the disaster that unfortunately contains his name. If something has your name on it, you might want to make damned sure it works perfectly. But like everything either corporations or government try lately, it always seems to blow up in the face of the American people.
I don't know if politicians are aware of this new magic material. It's called videotape. For the unaware, as this discovery has only been around a scant sixty years, this material allows anyone to look backward in time and see exactly what was or wasn't said. Both Obama and the Republicans act like this doesn't exist and are shocked. SHOCKED, when it comes back to bite them in the ass. How dumb do these people think we are?
Obama has been saying dozens of times, to dozens of reporters, since 2009 that anyone who liked their insurance plan can keep it. I've known for years that was a lie because, here in MA, half of all our plans disappeared, rates went up (and still are), but the quality of service did improve as did subsidies that actually made it cheaper for many of us to have insurance. I went from spending $300 of my own money out of pocket, to $80. The main issue I have had is that my premiums have risen from $7 to $80 within three years. That's a hefty increase and if it continues, will swamp the system and the ability of the poorest to pay for insurance without an increase in subsidies as well, straining tax dollars.
But the fact remains is that Obama was totally dishonest with the American people as at least one third of the country was going to lose their plans, and they knew that before hand. Mind you many will be better off, but someone making $50,000 a year, is going to get screwed. However, as 90% of this country makes less than the cutoff for subsidies, the people screaming about this rate raise are a vast minority compared to those who will be better off. I just wish Obama had sold this turkey better.
Now mind you, the Republicans get their fair share of the blame for all of this as they have been demonizing the project since it's inception. Nevermind the fact that the entire system is based on ideas from Mitt Romney and the Heritage Foundation, meaning that the only reason they don't like it is because President Blackie proposed it. It really doesn't get more racist that that. Fox News has gone on a full court press literally making stuff up about what Obamacare does and doesn't do to such an extent that Fox News should really be called the Nazi Propaganda Channel, which is ironic because that is where Fox News got it's start in Hitler's Germany. Almost nothing that Fox has said about Obamacare is correct and millions of gullible retards are parroting that misinformation like it was gospel.
The king of HOLY CRAP moments for the GOP came this week from Ted Cruz's father who went on some sort of Mel Gibsonesque rage against Obama, gay people and "commie socialists" which is akin to calling someone a white Hispanic. It doesn't exist. Caught on video for some unknown reason, Rafael Cruz went on a homophobic, racist rant that was truly despicable. Here is a piece of what this total douchebag had to say
“Communism or socialism, whatever you want to call it, what is happening in this country is not different than what happened in Cuba [...] It is about government control of your lives. You got to realize how Marxism, how socialism works [...] When you hear all these things about homosexual marriage, this has nothing to do with homosexual rights. Did you know that? The whole objective is the destruction of the traditional family! It has nothing to do with homosexuals. They could care less about homosexuals, they want to destroy the family.
You need to understand, it’s just like evolution. I’ve met so many Christians that tell me, ‘Well, evolution is a scientific fact.’ Baloney! I am a scientist, there is nothing scientific about evolution. But you know something? Karl Marx said it: ‘I can use the teachings of Darwin to promote communism.’ Why? Because communism — or call it socialism if you think communism is too hard a word — necessitates for government to be your god and for government to be your god they need to destroy the concept of God.”
That’s why communism and evolution go hand-in-hand. Evolution is one of the strongest tools of Marxism because if they can convince you that you came from a monkey, it’s much easier to convince you that God does not exist.
First off, socialism and Marxism are two completely different economic systems. Next time someone says either word, demand they define it. I will bet a million dollars they can't. So right away, we know this guy is retarded. He blames gay people for the destruction on the family which was actually accomplished by the rise of Feminism and the corporate world who saw this as a way to destroy the American way of life. Considering that two people cannot make a living that one used to make forty years ago, my theory is not that far off. I am not anti-woman. I am against an economic model that dumped a hundred million new workers into the workforce and not had any safeguards to protest against the rape corporations then did against the Middle class. As workers overwhelmed competition, salaries nosedived as they no longer had to compete for the best workers. People today are happy to make minimum wage for some reason. They shouldn't. But I digress.
He then goes off on some bizarre rant comparing the fact of evolution to Marxism and having the gaul to call himself a scientist. You sir are no scientist as you have no knowledge what even the most basic terms of science are. What a fool. If this is what Ted Cruz grew up, no wonder he's disturbed. Ted once said God talks to him. Someone shouldn't be in Congress but a padded cell. His father should join him.
Lastly, let us look at Rob Ford who is giving former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner a run for his money in the sleeze department. Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto, has repeatedly denied there was a video of him smoking crack. That is until a few days ago when the police verified they had such a tape and he was forced to acknowledge that he had indeed smoked crack, most likely when he was blind drunk. That's just what the people of major metropolis wants: a crack addicted drunk who is so fat you have to wonder if he's smoking that crack correctly. At yesterday's press conference this fat bastard looked so beet red you'd have though he was going to explode. Instead of stepping down like most would, he not only pulled a Filner in saying he would stay but that he was going to run for re-election next year. WTF? The balls on this guy.
While the public wants him gone and a lot of his staff have quit in disgust, the Canadian province has no legal way to get rid of him. You may want to change that stat guys as this moron is going to drag the whole city under. His driver is under arrest for gang ties and police have said there is a second tape out there as well but haven't said what is on it. This is not going to end well for the people of Toronto.
That is only the tip of the ice berg for this week so look forward to my Sunday douchebag column which will include everyone above along with idiots like Miami Dolphins ex-player Incognito and the asshole who got arrested twice in two days on CCSU for causing a lockdown on campus for some truly idiotic behavior. If there is any good news in any of this, it is that at least some of you out there are far from this dumb. Thank God for that.
