A Long Record of Obamite Thuggery
May 16, 2013 | 4 comments
The Spectacle Blog
Well, no, The One didn’t really say that, but our friend Jerry Kane helpfully explains why this headline captures the essence of The One’s latest executive order. Read here. Actually, the headline of Kane’s blog post —
EXECUTIVE ORDER GIVES INTERAGENCY COUNCIL CONTROL OVER AMERICAN LIVES
— is perhaps more instructive than his digression about risky sex.
It’s not that this new “council” looks to have direct police powers, but that the tendency towards intrusive busy-body-ness grows apace. If Obama can’t get bureaucrats into the most intimate parts of our lives through the front door, he’ll try a back-door entry.

Quin,
Please forgive my crudity, but Obama can kiss my a$$, but do nothing else to it, except shoot it.
I simply refuse to comply......period paragraph.

HILLYER: Life's Too Short! Best To Embezzle What You Can, So Long As You Don't Get Caught.
HILLYER: Crack Cocaine Cheers Me Up.
Ok, Ok, Hillyer didn't REALLY say these things. I just made them up. The same way he just made up some nonsense about Obama being eager for people to have risky sex.
Are there so few topics of genuine interest and concern in the world?
Occam's Tool| 6.15.10 @ 10:31PM
No, it didn't say have risky sex---but interestingly, anal intercourse was not on the list of non-recommended activities, whereas consuming too many Cheetos was.
I work in government healthcare. Quin is correct. Omissions are just as important as comissions.
Nate| 6.16.10 @ 10:27AM
Try a razor.
Is Obama really advocating risky sex, or might there be a simpler explanation that accounts for the evidence?
Liam| 6.16.10 @ 12:53PM
Admit it, Nate, you're way into anal sex and don't want to admit it's risky behavior.
Watch out for those scary Cheetos, though!! Make sure you wear a rubber when you eat them--haha!!

Now do you understand the connection between ObamaCare and your personal liberty.
If not try this.
When the government has control of your health care, the the government has control of your body as the government has a direct financial interest in how you use your body.
Nate| 6.15.10 @ 3:54PM
What about when the private insurance companies have control of your health care?
Dixie Pixie| 6.15.10 @ 4:26PM
Greetings Nate
Private companies do not have the power of the State.
They have to operate by mutually agreed upon voluntary arrangements.
The State on the other hand, can use military, legal, and physical force to enforce its will and whims.
The State can and will rewrite ObamaCare to benefit itself at will and to its own advantage.
The wishes of the people does not matter.
Control of your body has passed to the State.
Of course your soul can inhabit another object at the governments discretion. Maybe a empty can of tuna. Most likely it will a cheap vase containing your earthly remains.
Liam| 6.16.10 @ 12:55PM
Obama boy Nate has gold-plated health insurance, he doesn't have to care about ObamaCare death panels.
Jeff Perren | 6.15.10 @ 2:45PM
"If Obama can't get bureaucrats into the most intimate parts of our lives through the front door, he'll try a back-door entry. "
Considering who we're talking about here, that phrase has an interpretation I would rather not think about. I'm getting a little tired of bending over for the Federal government.
Nate| 6.15.10 @ 3:54PM
Most of us fail to be unimpressed by jokes like this coming from the party of Ted Haggard.
Ken (Old Texican)| 6.15.10 @ 4:14PM
Nate,
one must be content to be identified with the company one keeps.
If you had taken the time to read the linked article, you would understand the absurdity of the executive order Quin is making a stink about.
I'm certainly not joking.
Liam| 6.16.10 @ 12:58PM
Yeah, coming from a slutty shill for the Progressive/Democrat party of NAMBLA and Kennedy boys sex orgies.
Sure, we'll let you lecture us on MORALITY. Moron.
Oldefarte| 6.15.10 @ 4:38PM
I understand the purpose of Kagan's nomination to the SCOTUS, but wouldn't she be more appropriate as chairwoman of this 'council' ????
Liam| 6.16.10 @ 12:59PM
ChairMAN maybe, ChairWOMAN not so much.
Bill from WV| 6.15.10 @ 7:42PM
When are Americans going to grow a pair and stop sending these ass clowns the funds to intrude more into their lives?
150 million Americans NOT sending "one thin dime" to Obama and the rest of his clown posse should just about do it!
