Quote of the Day – Andrew Sullivan Edition

When people’s lives and careers are subject to litmus tests, and fired if they do not publicly renounce what may well be their sincere conviction, we have crossed a line. This is McCarthyism applied by civil actors. This is the definition of intolerance. If a socially conservative private entity fired someone because they discovered he had donated against Prop 8, how would you feel? It’s staggering to me that a minority long persecuted for holding unpopular views can now turn around and persecute others for the exact same reason. If we cannot live and work alongside people with whom we deeply disagree, we are finished as a liberal society

On the forced resignation of the CEO of Mozilla.

 

This is a response to the emails he has received for daring to question why the forced resignation was a good thing.  RTR here, the “tolerance” of the left is on full display.

Quote of the Day – Rand Paul Edition

“He ought to explain to the Pope why he is telling businesses in America they can’t remain true to their faith and stay in business.”

Rand Paul and the upcoming meeting between President Obama and Pope Francis.

I would love to be a fly on the wall during that conversation, wouldn’t you?

Quote of the Day – Juan Williams Edition

If she is truly on the fence about a White House run, I would suggest she go for it if for no other reason than to rub it in the faces of these pompous jackass professors.

Juan Williams on the controversy surrounding Dr. Rice giving a commencement speech at Rutgers University.

Quote of the Day – Mark Lamont Hill

You can have a penis & still be a woman.

Yet, I am called anti-science.

Gender is not a state of mind.  It is biological.

Quote of the Day – James Merriman Edition

“If they’re interested in results, they will make sure high-performing charter schools are fully included in the pre-K program, including maintaining capital funding. Otherwise, it will be clear that their move to push pre-K is more about ideology than about helping children.”

James Merriman, CEO of the New York City Charter School Center, on the move by Progressive Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to cut $210 million from the Charter School budget and redirect to opening 2100 new Pre-K seats.

It costs that much to send one student to Pre-K?  Mind blowing.

Quote of the Day – Andrea Mitchell Edition

alienated our “ally” in Iran and paved the way for rocky relations even to this day.

MSNBC reporter/political pundit Andrea Mitchell on the most impactful State of the Union addresses when President Bush identified Iran as part of the axis of evil.

I could be wrong here, but I think there a whole bunch of hostages that would disagree with this statement.

To think that people actually listen to this crap, more horrifying is that she actually gets paid to say this crap.

Quote of the Day – Jim Moran Edition

“I’m afraid that the millennials, if you will, are less likely to sign up. I think they feel more independent, I think they feel a little more invulnerable than prior generations.  But I don’t think we’re going to get enough young people signing up to make this bill work as it was intended to financially.”

Finally this man said something that I agree with.

 

Quote of the Day – Mike Huckabee Edition Part 2

“If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government then so be it!”

Amen.  I could care less what a person does in their bedroom, so stop trying to make it my business by forcing me to pay for it.

Quote of the Day – Bryant Osborn Edition

If you think this may have happened to you, here is how you can tell if you are in TOICITASOP’s verification system.  Call the TOICITASOP cynically-named customer service number.  When the mechanical voice asks who you are, say “member.”  When asked what you want to do, say “medical.”  When asked if you are calling for a pre-certification, say “yes.”  When asked what kind of service, say “medical.”  When asked again if you are a member, press ‘1.’  You will then be prompted for your social security number.  If the voice says that you “could not be located,” then you are not in the verification system, and your insurance is worthless.  Be very careful not to get sick or be in an accident.

After reading last week’s column, several people told me that they were glad they had health insurance through their employer and did not have to go through what I was going through.  This proves that there are lots of people who are not paying attention.

My existing health insurance was canceled by Obamacare’s individual mandate.  But Obamacare has an employer mandate that is even worse.  The only reason that those of you who have your health insurance through your employer are not having my problems yet is because President Obama delayed the implementation of the employer mandate.  But be advised: Your day is coming.  Soon.

I am now a single-issue voter, and I am focused.  I will do everything I can to defeat anyone who either voted for Obamacare, or failed to defund it.  Sen. Mark Warner is up for re-election in November, and Eric Cantor has a Republican primary challenger named David Brat.

Mr. Osborne is a farmer who writes a weekly column on fresh and locally grown foods.  He lost his private insurance policy due to the individual mandate of Obamacare.  This is his story about even though he has paid his premium for his “new and improved” health insurance policy through the Obamacare website, he is still uninsured.  Something that media is not covering.

RTR here.

Quote of the Day- Pat Mullins Edition

I am not a huge fan of Pat Mullins, but this is funny.

”Let me be the first to offer my congratulations to Boyd Marcus on his appointment to the Virginia ABC Board. It’s nice to know the exchange rate for 30 pieces of silver these days is about $122,000 per year plus benefits.”

A little background for those not involved in Virginia Politics.  Boyd Marcus is a republican strategist, or was.  I am sure those jobs will be hard to come by for him from this day forward.  Mr. Marcus decided to endorse now Governor Terry McAuliffe in the lead up to the election in November.  Pat Mullins is the head of the Republican Party of Virginia.   All hard liquor in the Commonwealth of Virginia is sold by the state in locations known as ABC stores.  Republicans (or some anyway) have been trying to privatize it for years and have been unsuccessful.  I would think this pay check is part of the reason why.

Funny stuff.

Quote of the Day – Charles Krauthammer Edition Part 5

It’s as if he wandered into the White House on a tour and discovered he’s president.

I just heart Charles.   With as much as this president has told the American people he was unaware, this is perfectly valid observation.

Quote of the Day – Wendy Pearson, Chicago Activist Edition

“The manner in which we have been voting needs to change.  I’m here to say to you that we have been trained to vote in a specific manner… we need to start looking at the manner in which our elected officials have been voting… if they have not voted in a manner that is beneficial to you, yours, and your community, then you need to start voting them out.”

There may be hope yet.  This was said at a town hall meeting given by Al Sharpton in Chicago.

Quote of the Day – Martin Bashir Edition

“After making an on-air apology, I asked for permission to take some additional time out around the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon further reflection, and after meeting with the President of msnbc, I have tendered my resignation.  It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments.

“I deeply regret what was said, will endeavor to work hard at making constructive contributions in the future and will always have a deep appreciation for our viewers – who are the smartest, most compassionate and discerning of all television audiences.  I would also wish to express deepest gratitude to my immediate colleagues, and our contributors, all of whom have given so much of themselves to our broadcast.”

I don’t believe for an instance he regrets what he said.  He regrets it cost him his job.

Quote of the Day – Washington Post Edition

If the poor, sick and uninsured are the winners under the Affordable Care Act, the losers appear to include some relatively healthy middle-income small-business owners, consultants, lawyers and other self-employed workers who buy their own insurance. Many make too much to qualify for new federal subsidies provided by the law but not enough to absorb the rising costs without hardship.

What is so very sad is the government knew this and did it anyway.  They tore down the house to fix a bathroom.  I have been saying for three years the only thing that Obamacare would accomplish is changing who the uninsured is.  That is what we spent trillions on.

RTR here.

Quote of the Day – Politico Edition

But for the most part, the mainstream media failed to aggressively pursue the story, taking Obama’s claim at face value without testing it against the facts

Well wonders never cease.  They finally admit it.  This particular quote is talking Obamacare and the GOP and Tea Party saying for years that people would lose their insurance once Obamacare gets implemented.  Well know they have no choice but to admit that we were right.  One would hope this would make them check into other things as well.  I am not holding my breath on that though.

Quote of the Day – Conservative Girl Edition Part 3

I was having a conversation with a young black woman who is an Obama supporter.

Her:  Are you racist?

Me: Did you like President Bush?

Her: Hell No.

Me: Are you racist against white men?  The question is just as ridiculous as the one you just asked.  I also don’t like Hillary Clinton, does that mean I hate white women?  Believe it or not, there are other reasons besides skin color to not agree with the president’s policies.

The other people around us just busted out laughing.

Quote of the Day – Anderson Cooper Edition

If Obama Campaign Site Had Not Worked, They Would Have Fixed It ASAP

To be fair the Obamacare website has more moving parts, but the point is still the same.

Quote of the Day – Sue Klinkhamer Edition

“I spent two years defending Obamacare. I had constituents scream at me, spit at me and call me names that I can’t put in print. The congressman was not re-elected in 2010 mainly because of the anti-Obamacare anger. When the congressman was not re-elected, I also (along with the rest of our staff) lost my job. I was upset that because of the health care issue, I didn’t have a job anymore but still defended Obamacare because it would make health care available to everyone at, what I assumed, would be an affordable price. I have now learned that I was wrong. Very wrong.”

Sue was once a staffer for a democratic congressman who voted for Obamacare.  Now she actually has to live it.   Her premium has more than doubled.

Is it rude to say “I told you so”?

Quote of the Day – Congresswoman Corrine Brown Edition

“Let’s don’t confuse nobody with the facts.”

Yep, she said this during a hearing of The House of Representatives.  The people of Florida must be so proud.

Quote of the Day – Jon Stewart Edition

‘And then I think to myself, “well, maybe she’s just lying to me?”‘

Jon Stewart after his interview with HHS Kathleen Sebelius on Obamacare.    He asked some pretty simple questions.  One of which was about the GOP criticism of the delayed businesses mandate tax.  One she couldn’t, or wouldn’t really answer.
