Anita Dunn Praises Mao

The video above is only part I of a segment of Glenn Beck’s show tonight that featured a videotaped speech made by Anita Dunn: O’s appointed chief of correcting FOXNews.  This clip  is a good view as a warmup to the main focus of the show.  If you do not want to watch all of it, you can fast forward to the 7:00 minute mark and still get the crux of Glenn’s setup.  Click on the second posted video below to hear for yourselves Anita Dunn praising Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa.  Yes, you read that correctly.  You can go directly to her speech by scrolling to right about the 4:20 minute mark.  I do, however, urge you to watch the entire warm up to that point of the video.  Glenn plainly explains the malignate nature of Mao’s revolution.

Earlier today I listened to Hugh Hewitt play Dunn’s speech elevating Mao and Mother Teresa as her two greatest plitical philosophers.  I felt anger over Dunn making such a blatant malconnect to two famous figures of the 20th century.  Hewitt dutifully noted that Mother Teresa was the most notible pro-life public figure in the past century.  Mao, on the other hand, was an insane killer.  Hs blind pursuit of communal utopia lead to the deaths of tens of millions; and this is Anita Dunn’s inspiration?

What I did not realize listening to Hewitt was that Dunn’s speech was given to high school students in what appears to be a cathedral-like location.  There’s even a large cross clearly visible in the video.  The cross to me, as I think should to everyone, represents sacrifice for others by the one being who held perfect love for all.  It does not represent distinguishing social classes.  It does not mean dominance over your fellow man.  And it absolutely does not represent inflicting brutality upon other people.  The summary of Mother Teresa’s works represent the meaning of the cross.  Giving to others.  Clothing the naked.  Feeding the hungry.  And giving to the poor unconditionally.  Elevating Mao to the same level of inspiration as Mother Teresa I find blasphemous.  Like all people, especally myself, I pray for both souls: Mao’s and Mother Teresas’.  I desire both to receive all of God’s grace; but their works on earth were as different as night and day.  One slaughtered; the other healed.  One was lead by hate and predjudice; the other by unconditional love and forgiveness.  One was constituted by pride and superiority; the other by humility and meekness.  One was an utmost failure; the other a success too great to fully measure.  I truly do not understand Anita Dunn’s perception that these two figures should be equated.

(A big thanks to the watchdog who drove from DC to provide this video taped speech to Glenn and for Glenn to air it and to talk about it bodly.  Another thanks to blogger Texanadian from whom I first learned of the nature of Glenn’s program tonight.)

The Healthcare You Don’t Want WILL Pass

Because Democrats want it to and that’s their plan.

House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) held a hearing this morning to certify that H.R. 3200 — the main House Obamacare bill which was the subject of all the town hall rage in August — has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.

Under reconciliation, the bill can be passed by a simple majority vote in the Senate — just 51 votes — and will be given preferential treatment on the House floor as well. The Dems have apparently invoked the “nuclear option” to shut out Republicans and ensure the bill is passed before the end of the year.

But don’t blame Rangel for this treachery:

Rangel told Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), the ranking Republican on the committee, that he would not have preferred to do it this way, but leadership — i.e., Speaker Pelosi — forced his hand.

That mean Auntie Nancy’s forcing Rangel’s hand and, of course, he must have had no choice but to subdue himself to Pelosi.

So what’s coming up to a vote?

It contains all of the horrors previously exposed: federal funding of abortion, coverage for illegal aliens, comparative effectiveness, healthcare rationing, deep cuts to Medicare. Everything the American people overwhelmingly reject.

Is it me or does it seem more and more that it’s what the elites want, not the people?  There’s stil the all crucial vote that will come probably in a couple of weeks (or so).  Stay strong.  Do what you can to make sure this bill does not reach Obama’s desk.  Afterall, by diong we’ll help him keep his word that this bill will not fund abortions, provide health coverage for illegals, and cuts to Medicare.  He’ll thank us for our efforts, I’m sure.

Government Health → Less Resources → More Deaths

Got that flowchart (from the title) down?

According to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development data, there were 26.6 MRI machines in the U.S. per million people in 2004. In Canada, there were 4.9 such devices, while Britain enjoyed 5. For every 100,000 Americans, 2006 saw 436.8 receive angioplasties. Among Canadians, that figure was 135.9, while only 93.2 Britons per 100,000 got that cardiac procedure.

Maybe that’s why, among American men, heart-attack deaths in 2004 stood at 53.8 per 100,000. In Canada, 58.3 men per 100,000 died of cardiac arrest, while coronaries buried 69.5 of every 100,000 British males.

The fatality rate for breast cancer, according to the National Center for Policy Analysis and Lancet Oncology, is 25 percent in the U.S., 28 percent in Canada, and 46 percent in Great Britain.

Among those diagnosed with prostate cancer, 19 percent die of the disease in America. In Canada, 25 percent of such patients succumb to this disease. And in Great Britain - an Anglophone NATO member and America’s closest ally - prostate cancer kills 57 percent of those who contract it. That is triple the American fatality rate.

Why would any American want the same?

Fighting Transparency

Government should be transparent, as President Obama promises.  And in order to help President Obama keep that standard, House Speaker Pelosi and Senate leader Reid are fighting hard…against requiring the current Senate health care bill be place online 72 hours before voting on it

Reps. Brian Baird, D-Wash., and Greg Walden, R-Ore., are circulating a petition among House lawmakers that would force a vote on the 72-hour rule.

Nearly every Republican has signed on, but the Democratic leadership is unwilling to cede control over when bills are brought to the floor for votes and are discouraging their rank and file from signing the petition. Senate Democrats voted down a similar measure last week for the health care bill.

 Of course, Republicans may very well have some culpability for, as the article points out:

The reluctance to implement a three-day rule is not unique to the Democrats.

The Republican majority rushed through the controversial Patriot Act in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as well as a massive Medicare prescription drug bill in 2003 that added hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit.

For the majority party, legislative timing plays a big role in whether a bill will pass because support can be fleeting.

So, Democrats, as do Republicans, need to post their bills for the public to read.  It’s really that simple.   No more shushing the public; but rather invite them to see how you’re representing them.

SNL’s O Skit

I saw this yeaterday on Breitbart TV but had to wait until it gt to You Tube so that I could embed it here.  It’s pretty funny.  Good satire is always based on reality.  Sorry for the poor audio.

A semi-final note on the Edd podcasts

Hey guys, just a heads up. In case you’re wondering the Edd Hendee podcasts are no longer being posted here. I’m actually waiting to hear from Dan on the future of the podcasts. If they continue they will most likely be moving to the KSEV site but like I said that’s all pending.
I would very much like to thank Pat Gray for allowing the Edd podcasts to take up temporary residence here as long as they have after he moved. It was definitely above and beyond.
I of course will still be active here; just not posting another show on the site unless it’s Pat related. That being said I will make one last Edd Hendee-related post here once I find out if, when and where the Edd Hendee podcasts will return. like I said I’m just waiting to see what Dan’s has in mind.
