Like I said… Typical Liberal Logic (or lack of) Sunday, Nov 15 2009

First let me say that I am Pro-Life. The others are Pro-Choicers… They would prefer to protect terrorists rights, but think nothing of killing innocent unborn fetuses.

BTW, I still have not got an answer to my question to @KushielsMoon. “How can you consider dismembering a fetus NOT violent”?

This post is about liberal twisting and turning conversations into accusations of racism.

The conversation started when I saw this tweet:

So I replied with this tweet:

Of which she replied with this tweet:

And my answer:

And Kushy answers:

Then @ellydisapproves follows up with this tweet:

So I ask:

And I respond to Kushy:

And then:

So I suppose the liberal logic in this is that because I don’t agree that the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist act (which killed 3000 innocent people) should be brought here at all, much less given a trial by jury, and given that the terrorist happen to be Iranian, that makes me a racist? Yep that must be it!

Miss Elinor dear, considering YOU are the one that brought race into the conversation, yep, that makes YOU the RACIST!!! You see color, and when you see color, it makes you a racist. It also makes you a race-baiter!

UPDATE: I was going to skip this part of the conversation between Miss Elinor dear and me… but I find it irresistible today.  I was born and raised in Louisiana, of course I know who David Duke is!

Excuse the crappy formatting, but it seems Miss Elinor dear has protected her tweets today.  Go Figure!

Read the block from the bottom up:

My Email Response from Senator Mary Landrieu Saturday, Nov 14 2009

Excuse the crappy formatting, it is what it is, that’s how it came to me.  My personal info has been edited out.

November 13, 2009 Mrs. Gwen [Last Name, Address etc]

Dear Mrs. [Last Name]:

Thank you for contacting me about health care reform. As a nation, we have debated this issue not just for years, but for generations. The status quo is no longer an option for Louisianans who struggle every day with skyrocketing costs and few choices. If we do nothing, the federal government will simply go broke over the next several decades. If we do nothing, Medicare will be bankrupt in less than ten years. And if we do nothing, middle class families in Louisiana will be spending up to 60% of their household income on health insurance by 2016. While we have come a long way towards reforming our broken system, Senate health care legislation is still taking shape and your input is invaluable as I continue to advocate for Louisiana. As you may know, I have been a co-sponsor of the “Healthy American’s Act” (S.391) which guarantees every American high-quality, private health insurance that is portable from job to job. I support the bipartisan principles in this bill, many of which are included in the current proposals before Congress. These common ground principles include consumer protections which prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions or dropping coverage if you become seriously ill. They will also limit out-of-pocket costs, ensure free preventive care, end gender discrimination, eliminate annual or lifetime caps on coverage and extend coverage for young adults. While most Members of Congress support these protections, there remains a great deal of work to achieve the right kind of health care reform. Let me be clear about what my priorities are as we move forward: ” I support health care reform that will reign in out-of-control costs without out adding one dollar to the national deficit. We need to lower our costs if we are to stay competitive in the global economy. ” As the Chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business, one of my top priorities is to ensure affordable insurance and organized choice for small businesses. ” A competitive marketplace will provide Louisiana consumers with access to low-cost, stable health insurance. We must increase competition and choice in Louisiana where today, the top two health insurance companies dominate 87% of the individual insurance market. Providing more and better private choices will help taxpayers hold insurance companies accountable and drive down costs. ” Health care reform must provide subsidies to low-income and middle class families to purchase health insurance, thereby giving them greater choice and affordable coverage. ” Health care reform must include legislation that ensures every child so vulnerable that they had to be placed in foster care has consistent and portable health insurance coverage. It must guarantee that foster youth are never dropped from coverage and create a safety net so they continue to be covered even after they age out of the system. Opponents of reform have circulated a lot of misinformation about what health care reform will mean. I’d like to set the record straight on a few things. Health insurance reform will not create a government-run system with rationing. The reality is that insurance companies are already rationing your care. Right now insurance companies dictate what services you can and cannot get, not based on what you need or the best treatment, but based on the kind of insurance you have. Moreover, given the uncontrolled costs without reform, there is no guarantee that you can keep your coverage even if you like it. I am fighting for real reform to make sure that everyone has stable access to health insurance even if they change jobs or get sick. Here are some other facts about the bill before the Senate: ” Eliminating the fraud and waste in Medicare Advantage will not affect benefits for seniors. Medicare will be safe and stronger with reform. ” Members of Congress will not be exempt from reform. ” Reform will expand your choices, not limit them. ” There is no panel to decide end-of-life care in any of the bills. ” Reform will not cover illegal immigrants. ” Taxpayer dollars will not be used to pay for abortion. Misinformation like this stopped health care reform 16 years ago, and since then our costs have sky-rocketed. Between 1996 and 2006 alone, the average annual premium for family coverage obtained through an employer increased by 85 percent. We simply cannot afford the status quo. I am also committed to a transparent and informed public debate on this key issue. In fact, I recently joined seven of my colleagues in a letter urging the Senate leadership for increased transparency and public engagement as the health care debate moves to the Senate floor. We asked that the complete budget score and entire bill be posted publicly online for at least 72 hours before it is brought to a vote. I believe it is critical that constituents have the opportunity to evaluate these policies and communicate their concerns or support to their Members of Congress. As the Senate discusses health care reform, I want to hear from Louisianans, answer questions and keep you updated about what I am doing. That is why I have launched several new outreach initiatives. These new activities include a weekly internet address available via YouTube at www.youtube.com/SenatorLandrieu. I will also be conducting telephone town halls and local radio talk show interviews. Additionally, my office sends out a weekly email newsletter with newsworthy items and surveys that give Louisianans the opportunity to send feedback on which aspects of the health care debate are most important to them and what specific issues they would like to see addressed. To sign up, visit my website at http://landrieu.enews.senate.gov/mail/. Again, thank you for taking the time to send me your input and concerns on health care reform. Health care reform is not about Washington games; it is about the millions of Americans throughout this country who pay thousands of dollars to insurance companies and then get cut from coverage when they need it most. In the end, my main goal is to ensure that whatever Congress does will lower costs to families, small businesses and the nation. I trust that you will continue to contact me on matters of mutual concern. With warmest regards, I am Sincerely, Mary L. Landrieu United States Senator P.S. I am excited to announce that my office is launching new e-newsletters to keep you updated on what I am working on here in Washington, D.C. If you would like to receive the e-newsletter, please go to http://landrieu.enews.senate.gov/mail. Please include your zip code and interest areas so I can stay in touch about issues you care about most. MLL:jas

What does AARP have to do with civil rights? Friday, Nov 6 2009

Meet AARP’s New CEO: A. Barry Rand

And from Answers.com, his biography of which we find out he is a civil rights activist.

Reading the articles, I find that this man has worked incredibly hard during his lifetime. But I have to wonder what connection to Barack Obama, SEIU, or even ACORN, we might find if we only look for it.

This post is NOT intended to be racist.

You’re wrong Mr. Axelrod! Sunday, Nov 1 2009

 

I think most of America does see the president’s midnight ride to Dover AFB as a photo op, just like Rush said! You see, Mr. Axelrod, the fact that President Obama HAS been dithering on the Afghanistan issue, is making it clear to us where the president’s priorities lie. The president should either send the 40,000 additional troops as requested by General McChrystal, OR bring the troops home out of harm’s way. The President is riding the fence, and it’s costing young American soldiers their lives.

And Mr. Axelrod, we haven’t forgotten the young men in Afghanistan who are trying to put out a forest fire, with a garden hose. We haven’t forgotten the family’s who have lost their loved ones in the line of duty. We haven’t forgotten that they are fighting against the Taliban, and we know we MUST WIN that battle.

Rush Limbaugh an entertainer? Well, I guess to leftist wing-nuts who find humor in degrading any conservative they talk to or about… it just may seem entertaining to you Mr. Axelrod. But to the conservatives of this country, Rush watches our backs.

We also haven’t forgotten the trip he made to try to get the Olympic committee to pick HIS city, Chicago, for the Olympic Games. No Mr. Axelrod, we haven’t forgotten the many campaign trips HE has made to fulfill HIS agenda on OUR tax dollars!

And Mr. Axelrod, visions of a beer summit, and of the First Lady de-boarding Air Force One wearing shorts… well that’s degrading to the positions they both hold. You see Mr. Axelrod; conservatives have principles of which we don’t see with the Obama Administration.

My Doctors thoughts on HCR Wednesday, Oct 28 2009

I saw my doctor yesterday, he’s a family physician, a country doctor. It was a rare visit as I’m blessed to rarely get sick. When he was finished diagnosing me (sinusitis, thankfully not pneumonia), I asked him for his thoughts on the healthcare debate. He said it’s all a joke!

He told me he pays $600 a month to Blue Cross for crappy coverage for his family. Most people don’t need frequent visits to their doctors, and most will only need hospitalization once maybe twice in their lifetime. Yet we pay that money every month.

He told me he has 10,000 patients. If they all paid him $2.00 a month, he could provide his patients all the care they needed, pay his overhead costs, and still make a nice living.

But because of government cuts in Medicare provider payments, and low insurance reimbursement rates, he only made 90K last year as compared to 130K the year before, which was reduced from the year before that. I know 90K seems like a lot for most of us, but let’s get real here, 90K is peanuts for someone with that extensive an education.

Doctors spend years going through college, medical school, graduate training, etc. They are some of the smartest people on the planet, yet they are subjected to the government and insurance companies mandating their salaries.

My doctors’ father was a physician, as was his grandfather. He is the last generation; too many headaches, not enough money.

It’s a loss of talent that’s in their bloodline. It’s a loss for all of us.

Who were they? Sunday, Oct 25 2009

President George W Bush had a 55% approval rating rising sharply to 86% after the attack on 9/11, according to a FOX News Interactive Poll. (comparison to President Obama)

Not a Fox Fan? See Pollster.

What does this tell me? It tells me that we ALL pulled together as one nation under God. We all wanted to kick the Taliban’s ass, and we all wanted Osama bin Laden DEAD! Most of us still do…

My question is this. What happened to the support? Who made up that 86%? Was it you?

Did you feel that your freedom was threatened after 9/11? The truth is we all did.

Conservatives are now being labeled as assassins! Saturday, Oct 24 2009

The other night, I tweeted something that upset a friend, a new friend. It was meant as a joke, but it was upsetting to her none the less. What was it? Well, I responded to a tweet as seen below.

As I read my friends tweets, I saw how upset she was, but I didn’t say anything. I wasn’t sure what to say at the time, actually I’m still not. What I saw was fear, fear for the president.

I started to understand that “tea-partiers”, or “tea-baggers” as liberals refer to us; conservatives are now being painted as threatening to the President of the United States. And this morning, my suspicions have been confirmed.

I read a blog post titled Obama vs. FOX News by Frank Shaeffer. In his opening paragraph he states: “The real issue is that FOX News seems to be trawling for assassins.”

That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard or read at this point. Conservatives have been called “stupid”, “ignorant”, “uneducated”, etc… Now liberals are labeling us as “assassins”? And all because we choose to listen to FOX News! This is another ploy to silence Glenn Beck and FOX. It’s that simple.

I too have been concerned about President Obama’s safety. I was concerned the night he showed up months ago at that basketball game unexpectedly. He seems to take a lot of chances.

We’re not criminals; we’re just hard-working citizens, who feel we have been Taxed Enough Already. Look at this picture from the September 12, 2009 march on Washington D.C. Does that look like a gun-toting, angry mob? They are just ordinary people trying to get the President and the White House to listen to them.  

Who doesn’t want their voice to be heard?

Liberal Race Baiting! Saturday, Oct 17 2009

Watch what you post on Twitter, it could bite back!

This is proof of the way liberals twist information around to try to make conservatives look like racists.  When in fact, most often it is race baiting from the liberals that creates the issues.  This is how it started.

@ToureX made a comment on tv about Rush Limbaugh http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/checker.aspx?v=GdSUkUSUZu

In response, @DearCitizen RT’d this to @Tourex, with the intention of pointing out the race baiting that is done from the liberal side.

The following were tweeted by @ToureX.  I consider this race baiting… he is asking for all conservatives to be attacked!  I am not responsible for racists’ actions, nor should I have to be held accountable for it!  If you want to call them out, you should do so, but leave the rest of us out of it.

Does this guy really work for MSNBC?

@ZerlinaM RT’d this:

@Tourex then tweeted it as if @DearCitizen had originally tweeted it, which is not true. He tweeted this several times to Twitter admin. @Tourex has 11,000+followers, many of which RT’d it.  That’s when all #twitterhell broke loose.

@Tourex also thinks he wrote the rules for Twitter

@ToureX shows his racism often. Does anybody but me see the following tweet as a racist comment? What the hell difference does it make if the ballplayers are black or white? Who’s the racist here?

@ToureX continues with his racist remarks…

Well Mr.@ToureX… how can you not see that as RACE-BAITING?  News Flash @ToureX… YOU ARE THE RACIST!

Back in August, @ZerlinaM tweeted this, the original, which she does not deny by the way! 

At the time, the link lead to this picture…

@ZerlinaM was equating a lynch mob to the #iamthemob hash tag used in tweets.  #iamthemob was intended for conservatives use, but the liberals abuse it for their own purposes; in this case, race baiting.

In her defense, @ZerlinaM tweeted this the other day.  I think she knows it was a mistake, hopefully anyway.

To make matters worse, somehow the queen liberal @Cody_K got involved and blogged it as – Dear Citizen: Despicable Racist.

Liberals lie like this all the time, I guess blatant dishonesty works for them. This is @Cody_K’s sick way of calling in the liberal dogs on us. That post isn’t about racism, it’s about power.. @Cody_K’s power.

I know many of the people listed above, and I know racism is not something they choose to include in their twitter conversations.  None of us deserve to be on that list.  @Cody_K was asked to edit her post, she didn’t.

10/19/09 UPDATE: @Cody_K has revised her blog http://is.gd/4ozLx

There are still some un-truths though – @DearCitizen has nothing to do with the Agitprop blog, and he never did… @Cody_K made it up to try to paint him as a racist.  We do not defend racists, we do however defend against liars.

Pro-Life Prayer Request Monday, Sep 28 2009

I am not from Florida, but I do believe every baby deserves the chance to live.  Please help if you can…

 

Can you forward this to every pro-life Christian you know?

Many churches publish prayer requests in their bulletins or have “prayer chains” — these are usually for sicknesses, but are also used to pray for just about anything.

So here’s a strategy to get people in your church praying about Personhood FL even before you approach your church to ask permission to circulate petitions.

“YOUR NAME is currently involved in an initiative to place a Personhood Amendment proposition on the Florida ballot for the 2010 election. Please pray for God’s will to be done as YOUR FIRST NAME helps in a statewide effort to gather the almost one million signatures that will be needed in the first step to legally define an unborn child as a person from his or her biological beginnings.”

This way the people in your church who pray for these requests will muse on the language of the initiative. Then about week later you should follow this up with a request to circulate petitions among church members. It’s not fool proof, but it’s a heads up for people so that they will know what you are doing. And it gives the church a chance to pray according to God’s will to protect unborn baby boys and girls. Some might decide to get involved in the effort right away.
