Rants from Atop of my Soapbox: Everyone has soiled their Damned Diapers and I am tired…

David Vitter is pissed, there’s a shortage of diapers.  He won’t be able to get his hands on any, because Republicans, Teatards, Hamsherites, Sirota, and Michael Moore are all making run on diapers, pacifiers, and binkies. Over the past month and a half there’s been nothing but whining and bitching about HCR, the President, and any other person that fails to give in to their irrational requests. I am really tired of hearing about it.

This is the closest that Healthcare Reform has ever been to passing in over 60 years. And if I hear one more person screech about how President Obama hasn’t done anything to push his top domestic agenda, so help me I will kick them so swiftly and far  up in their asses, that they will coughing up my toes.

He CAMPAIGNED, SPOKE AT TOWN HALLS, and gave PRESS CONFRERENCES about Healthcare Reform from MARCH 2009- onward.  I don’t know how much more I can emphasize what the man has done without using finger puppets and colorful illustrations to show how our President has gotten this far. He even sat through a Healthcare Summit to be bludgeoned over the head  with epic stupidity over and over by the Republicans. We had to suffer and listen  to that crazy congresswoman from West Virginia or whatever state that filled with irrationally large amounts of white people, squeal on and on about not allowing Republicans to have their ideas included. She sounded like she huffed on a bag of helium.

Everyone is trying to push either the victim card or the it’s a sell-out to insurance companies card. It’s all a way to try to prove that President Obama is a  failure. It’s all a joke. During the CPAC conference, all Republicans talked about was how President Obama is the teleprompter president.

Jim DeMint:

You can’t govern from a teleprompter

Mittens Romney, Dick Armey, and Liz Cheney:

Teleprompter, Teleprompter, Teleprompter

Dick Cheney , as looking into the crowd for someone to shoot screeched:

TELEPROMPTER!!

Regardless of the fact that every President in modern history has used a teleprompter, even their demigod Reagan.  And they complain about the President using a teleprompter, all while they are in front of a teleprompter.

Orange Glo John “I am just maintaining until the first highball of the day” Boehner and Mitch “he’s so white and pale that he glistens” McConnell combined together to form the perfect evil Dreamsicle; both complained about how  HCR was being shoved, shoved, and shoved  down their throats. Oh, that must suck. I remember when the Iraq War was shoved down our throats and huge tax cuts for the rich were shoved down our throats.  Now you feel our pain, sucks to be you!  For such homophobes, why do Republicans constantly used homoerotic analogies to push their points across: teabagging, throat shoving, and ass shoving.

Republicans over the past 30 years have been worthless, hysterical, pearl-clutching wussies and deserve to be treated like the sniveling cowards they are.  Their message has been clear, consistent and could be placed on a bumper sticker, “which is anything but success for the Darkie in charge”. Republicans constantly cast themselves as victims.

John Cole from Balloon-Juice summarized best:

The whole basis  of the tea party movement is sustaining the whine from Republicans upset that they got voted out of office because they suck and old white people are upset that the country is changing

That’s really what this is all about. They all definitively took a collective shit at the same time when they discovered that they are never going to get their country back, because over the next  30-40 years they will become the minority. I am sure Lindsay Graham clutched his pearls, sashayed to his fainting couch and toppled over dramatically upon hearing that news.  So I have decided the best course of action to help soothe the racists, teabaggers, and asshats. There’s this movie called White Man’s Burden, it’s a guide to help you  and your descendants get adjusted to your new roles within a blacker and browner America.  John Travolta played an oppressed white man very convincingly.

As for Senator McCain and his half-witted attempts to whine incessantly about backroom deals and such, needs to have a seat. I am still pissed that he unleashed Sarah  ”I have to write Republican talking points on my hand, because I am an idiot”  Palin upon us. You would think that since he’s old, smells like death, looks like death and blended well into the population of every nursing home that he has glad-handed at, that health care would be something important to push. But alas, what is the most important thing that  McCain is whining and sniffling about for the eleventy-billionth time on Sunday Talk Shows and the Senate floor?

EARMARKS!!

LOL! Whut?

As for the manic progressives, there’s David Sirota who is just a bitch, Jane Hamsher, and Michael Moore all sharing a bathtub with Grover Norquist about the impending doom and giveaway this bill is for the insurance companies. None of these people are revelant anymore. David Sirota purposes twists facts to try to convert people and he got kicked off a campaign in Philly for race-baiting, Jane contradicts herself constantly and Michael Moore decided to have a meltdown right after Dennis “Elfin Clevelander” Kucinich changed his vote on healthcare.

Here’s a snippet of Michael Moore’s firebagging whiny ass piece:

And by now you’ve figured out that you don’t really have any say in this, that what we call the “democratic process” is mostly a sham, pretty words that get repeated in the hopes we will all still fall for it. But the fix is in and we don’t fall for it anymore. Admit it: Wall Street owns “our” Congress lock, stock, and big barrel o’ campaign cash. You want a say in this? Well, I don’t see you on the Forbes 400, so shut the f@*& up and go fetch me another bottle of bubbly.

Within days, the House of Representatives will vote to pass the Senate health-care “reform” bill. This bill is a joke. It has NOTHING to do with “health-care reform.” It has EVERYTHING to do with lining the pockets of the health insurance industry. It forces, by law, every American who isn’t old or destitute to buy health insurance if their boss doesn’t provide it. What company wouldn’t love the government forcing the public to buy that company’s product?! Imagine a bill that ordered every citizen to buy the extended warranty on all their appliances? Imagine a law that made it illegal not to own an iPhone? Or how ’bout I get a law passed that makes it compulsory for every American to go see my next movie? Woo-hoo! Who wouldn’t love a sweet set-up like this windfall?

[....]

But don’t insult me and 300 million Americans by calling this “health-care reform.” At least you’ve stopped calling it “universal health care.” We will not have universal health care or anything close to it. I wish the president and the Democratic leadership would just stand up and say, “We’re sorry, America. We didn’t get the job done you sent us here to do. We’re weak and scared and unable to communicate the simplest of messages to the American people. Therefore, our bill will guarantee that 12 million of you will still have NO health insurance. And that’s because we have decided to leave the greedy, private insurance industry in charge of our system. Forgive us for this and for continuing to allow profit to be the determining factor as to whether a patient gets the help she or he needs.”
…
Please, Democrats—just say that—then pass this poor excuse of a bill.
…
Pass it because, if President Obama takes a fall on this one, I don’t know if he’ll be able to get back up. And then NOTHING will get done. We can’t have that.

I’ve just turned on my new iPhone and it informs me that it has “apps” it would like to suggest I buy. One is called “Scanner.” It will allow me to listen in on police scanners anywhere across the country. I buy the app. I see that the Flint police scanner is part of this. I turn it on out of curiosity. And this is what I hear, at one in the morning: A woman is being beaten by her husband… A home invasion is taking place (“16-year-old black male, wearing a white skull cap”)… A child has been missing since noon today… Another woman is being beaten by her boyfriend… A diabetic, obese man is having trouble breathing and needs to be rushed to the hospital (there will be three more of these obese diabetics in the hours to come; the entire town is ill)… One more woman calling, screaming for help, “officers urged to use caution…”
…
…And on and on and on. This is what I have listened to before going to bed. I am filled with despair and helplessness as I hear my former neighbors crying out for help. I hate it. I have to turn it off. I start to cry. Thank you, iPhone. Thank you, Democrats. I’ll sleep better knowing that you’re looking out for all of us.
…
Bastards.

As always, apparently Michael didn’t read the bill and is injecting his hyperbolic, over the top analysis about the issue. And he’s extra pissed that Dennis Kucinich has decided to vote for the bill for logical reasons, something that Michael should consider. Here are some other questions Michael needed to consider before spewing out his bullshit:

If this bill such a giveway to insurance companies, then why did the insurance industry alone spend several millions of dollars to fight against it?

If this bill is such a giveaway to the insurance industry then why is the Chamber of Commerce sponsoring ads that are anti-health reform?

If the bill is such a giveaway to the insurance industry then why did FreedomWorks decide to finance and sponsor the teatards protest against it?

Hell even the nuns are for it and if they are for it, all hell is about to break loose. And isn’t Michael Moore all pro-Union? Well I know most of the Unions are for the bill. Moore is talking out his big ass and needs to have a seat. Howard Dean announces that he will continue to fight for the public option until we get it. What happened to his fighting for it when he composed his healthcare plan? He  needs to be punched in the neck repeatedly until he will STFU. He is the former governor of the whitest state in America and his advice is useless. I can’t imagine why President Obama never gave him a cabinet position… yyaaaaaahhhhhhh.

You all should leave Elfin Clevelander the lost hobbit allloooonnne. He is from Middle Earth and gets lost  in the shuffle sometimes.

What convinced him that maybe voting for the health care bill was a good plan? I figured maybe Rahm dragged him back into the Presidential suite for a shower and a tickle. Then afterwards Michelle coddled him in her arms until his tear-streaked face dried. Really … that’s what a little birdie told me.

In the end, once this reform passes, President Obama will be separated from the pack. A commenter on a blog I read this past week stated that President Obama is the Jackie Robinson of politics. I am not big on comparisons, but I can agree with that comparison in so many ways. To paraphrase it,  even after Jackie was rounding the bases, he was getting spit on and cursed at.  He kept his head high, and just kept doing what he did.  In time, opinion changed and the guy was voted in to the Baseball Hall of Fame on his first ballot with a vote of 77.5%. The fauxgressives will continue to pound on President Obama, saying he hasn’t done enough.  The right-wingers will keep calling him a Nazi, Commie, Socialist neo-phyte.  The moderates will flip flop all over the place, lying and whining every inch of the way, but then 8 years will have gone by, the dust will settle, and we’ll look back to realize President Obama turned out to be one of the most accomplished and transformative Presidents in our nation’s history. Jackie Robinson was treated horribly by whites who were racists and some blacks who resented him because they felt, that there were better players or that since they failed he should too.

President Obama has set a record in his first year in the percentage of times he has gotten Congress to vote his way, especially on Progressive issues. He tops LBJ in that department. The article in Congressional Quarterly goes into more detail here.

When the history about this period of time is written, They  will be some  folks on the right side of it and some folks will be on the wrong side of it.  I plan on staying on the right side of it, how about you?/ end rant.
