Since virtually every non Internet media and talk radio outlet outside of Fox News is virtually in the tank, the mainstream media, by definition, flows completely on the left bank. I think the goal of NewsBusters should be to find a modicum of IMPARTIALITY and highlight THAT in a column. Perhaps call it "ActualNewsReporters" or something as radical as that.

I used to think that the stereotype that lefties were really socialists was an exaggeration.It's not.

A few years back at first they all denied being liberals but then they won the midterms and they began to get bold. They started to show their true feelings for the military,christians,blue collar people,our traditions and such.They even tried to lose a war.

Now one of them has taken the White House and they run the Congress and they are completely out of control. In the next four years you will see just about every wild exaggeration about the left come to light.They really do hate this country and capitalism.Look at how they are trying to destroy the economy and telling us they are rescuing us and do not dare criticize them.Look at their nightly barrage of govt. propaganda.We're going to become the new USSR.Reagan destroyed it and Obama will rebuild it.

Obama is going to be an absolute disaster for this country.We may never recover.

Because with a name like Obama... you know it has to be good.

maybe if he really ever does graduate from college, this guy can give moran a run for his money in a "who loves obama more" contest:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfiC1GG5gts   sheesh!!

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

Commentary by Betsy McCaughey

Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Republican Senators are questioning
whether President Barack Obama’s stimulus bill contains the
right mix of tax breaks and cash infusions to jump-start the
economy.

Tragically, no one from either party is objecting to the
health provisions slipped in without discussion. These
provisions reflect the handiwork of Tom Daschle, until recently
the nominee to head the Health and Human Services Department.

Senators should read these provisions and vote against them
because they are dangerous to your health. (Page numbers refer
to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version).

The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in
the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments
will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having
electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily
transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid
duplicate tests and errors.

But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the
National Coordinator of Health Information
Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is
doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost
effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your
doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus
bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his
2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care
Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy
and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”

Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is
important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far.

New Penalties

Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of
the new system will face penalties.  “Meaningful user” isn’t
defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who
will be empowered to impose “more stringent measures of
meaningful use over time” (511, 518, 540-541)

What penalties will deter your doctor from going beyond the
electronically delivered protocols when your condition is
atypical or you need an experimental treatment? The vagueness is
intentional. In his book, Daschle proposed an appointed body
with vast powers to make the “tough” decisions elected
politicians won’t make.

The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal
Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research
(190-192). The goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the
development and use of new medications and technologies because
they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more
willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo
experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for
expecting too much from the health-care system.

Elderly Hardest Hit

Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.”
Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come
with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will
bear the brunt.

Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective.
The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost-
effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464).

The Federal Council is modeled after a U.K. board discussed
in Daschle’s book. This board approves or rejects treatments
using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the
number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Treatments for
younger patients are more often approved than treatments for
diseases that affect the elderly, such as osteoporosis.

In 2006, a U.K. health board decreed that elderly patients
with macular degeneration had to wait until they went blind in
one eye before they could get a costly new drug to save the
other eye. It took almost three years of public protests before
the board reversed its decision.

Hidden Provisions

If the Obama administration’s economic stimulus bill passes
the Senate in its current form, seniors in the U.S. will face
similar rationing. Defenders of the system say that individuals
benefit in younger years and sacrifice later.

The stimulus bill will affect every part of health care,
from medical and nursing education, to how patients are treated
and how much hospitals get paid. The bill allocates more funding
for this bureaucracy than for the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air
Force combined (90-92, 174-177, 181).

Hiding health legislation in a stimulus bill
is intentional. Daschle supported the Clinton administration’s
health-care overhaul in 1994, and attributed its failure to
debate and delay. A year ago, Daschle wrote that the next
president should act quickly before critics mount an opposition.
“If that means attaching a health-care plan to the federal
budget, so be it,” he said. “The issue is too important to be
stalled by Senate protocol.”

More Scrutiny Needed

On Friday, President Obama called it “inexcusable and
irresponsible” for senators to delay passing the stimulus bill.
In truth, this bill needs more scrutiny.

The health-care industry is the largest employer in the
U.S. It produces almost 17 percent of the nation’s gross
domestic product. Yet the bill treats health care the way
European governments do: as a cost problem instead of a growth
industry. Imagine limiting growth and innovation in
the electronics or auto industry during this downturn. This
stimulus is dangerous to your health and the economy.

The Socialists won't use the words socialize or nationalize, they don't have to. As long as they destroy the economy by soaking up all capital, businesses will either fail and go away, or fail 'and have to be taken over by the government because the evil capitalists ran them into the ground', or end up in the hands of Big Union, which is the same thing. Either way, companies will fall under government control.

It seems that every generation or two, voters have to re-learn painful lessons about liberalism. We are still suffering from the mess that the execrable Jimmy Carter left us. How long will it take to clean up Obammy's messes?

When I first saw the headline of this post, I thought it said, "ABC's Moron"...it might have been more accurate...?

Moran says, If I'm a Republican Senator or a Republican Congress, I think you're a
very nice guy but maybe I don't have enough reason to fear you.”

How about the hundreds of trees felled and the size of bandwidth wasted because of the left's bemoaning about their fear of Dick Cheney, and how evil he was because of it?  Now Obama needs to breed fear in Republicans?  Do these guys ever listen to what they say? 

TERRY MORAN: Mr. President, you got no honeymoon. Not a single
Republican vote in the House on your first major piece of legislation.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Oh, I'm getting, I'm getting a big honeymoon from the American people.

And you know what happens on the honeymoon, right?  Ya, the American people get ******.

The pretentious one equates being civil with being right. Well, he is neither.

Liberal definition of honeymoon -- republicans bending over and taking it 'barney frank' style so the libs can be happy and fulfilled.

Hello,

       I would really like to say something here, but I am going to keep it clean, and be nice. I just cannot understand why these stupid, idiotic news agencies think that most of America after all of last yr., and after all that they constantly do by playing the blame card for everything on one party in this nation, and of course that would be the Rep. Party, but oh yea the dems. are as pure as the driven snow. We are in store for some all time news-clips from these two wizards as time goes by. Just think if he is still President less say in a yr. we will have enough gaffes to fill a war-room to say the next one hundred yrs. or more. Having a VP like Joe Biden, and a sen. like Barney frank does not say a whole lot for the people up in Mass. now does it. Oh let us not forget to add good-old "TEDDY-BOY" Kennedy now. 

                                                    Thanks,

                                                    Bearone

                                                    bearone7777@yahoo.com

P.S. I am so not focused right now, but I want real bad to make

       a point that even the libs. in the media know how stupid they

       look, but they are not about to change that anytime soon. 

      and so it begins.
