Michelle: To Each According to Their Needs

The Obama campaign repeatedly asserts something which is indisputably true: This is election is about the future of the country, a struggle for its soul.

It is a contest between conservative ideals of individual freedom and the Socialist-inspired precepts held by those at the furthest leftward end of the Democratic Party.

Let’s take a look at a campaign speech Michelle Obama gave Thursday night, much of it her usual boilerplate.

Try to imagine the thinking that informs the statements she makes. She says she wants a nation where everyone has “a fair shot.” But what she really wants is a society where everyone is guaranteed to hit the bullseye.

She says, for example:

One of the things that I try to remind people, because I always try to remind myself, is that we’re here, we’re doing this work because of our values — because of the values we believe in . . . All of our kids should be able to go to college without a mountain of debt — not just some, all of them.

Really? Everyone needs to go to college? And who pays for this, Hu Jintao?

President Hu is already providing a basic education for all Americans. Now he has to send them all to college as well?

To do what? Less than a third of all jobs require a college degree. No more than half those who start college finish it. Only about 60 percent of college graduates hold a job that they needed their college education to get.

What is a mountain of debt? Average tuition at a public university for those living off campus is just over $8,000 a year. With some modest saving over time by parents and a long term loan at today’s rates, is it really such an onerous thing for a kid to go to college without other people helping pay for it with their taxes?

On health reform:

Today, because of that reform — today — our kids can stay on our insurance until they’re 26 years old.  (Applause.)  And we know how important this is, so that the young people in our lives, when they graduate and they’re just starting out and they’re getting out there in the world, they don’t have to figure all that out without health care.  We know what that means.

Someone has to pay for these tender young things WELL INTO THEIR TWENTIES to figure things out. Why do taxpayers – or Hu Jintao – have to pay for their health insurance while they go to graduate school or work at a candy store trying to discover the meaning of life before they get real job?

Today, because of this reform, insurance companies have to cover basic preventative care at no [extra] cost — things like contraception, cancer screenings, prenatal care.

What is the principle, other than pure Socialism, that underlies the notion that preventative care should be free? And remember, not free, but paid for by others who have to pay higher premiums to insurers or have their care rationed.

AND WHAT IS THE PRINCIPLE THAT SAYS I HAVE TO PAY FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO HAVE SEX???

Here is the principle:

And what (President Obama) understands and believes is that when you’ve worked hard and you’ve done well — and there is nothing wrong with doing well — and when you’ve walked through that doorway of opportunity, he knows that you don’t slam it shut behind you.  You don’t do that.  You reach back and you give other folks the same opportunities you had to get ahead.

Well, not exactly “you” reach back. The government takes your money and reaches back. Remember, the Obamas only contributed about 1 percent of their $200,000 + income to charity before Barack’s political career took off. The Bidens last year gave 1.5 percent.

What these people are talking about is not our personal responsibility to others. They are talking about wealth redistribution. Michelle, concludes:

We cannot turn back now — not now.  In this country, we need to keep moving forward.  Forward!  Forward!  (Applause.)  In America, we always move forward.  Forward!  (Applause.)

Under the leadership of the great Stalin - forward to Communism!

No, not always forward.

  1. I can’t wait for either Bam or Moo to bang a shoe on the podium to emphasize their “FORWARD” slogan……….typical Communist technique…….but this is America, isn’t it?…….(My head just exploded)

      1. If they were old enough, they would have wrestled Khrushchev’s shoe from him and thrown it like the Iraqi journalist did at GWB. The PompASS [sic] just keeps both of them propped on any piece of furniture he finds in the Oval office.

        1. Sadie, that’s what I was getting at when I mentioned that I’m willing to offer my shoe and I have excellent aim, lol. I’d be more than happy to do it.

          1. I recognized the rabbit hole we were falling down when Fox News began perpetuating the “socialist” meme with a bizarre intensity just after Obama’s nomination four years ago. Now I see that it has moved beyond the rhetorical event horizon to where conservatives literally do not know where facts end and propaganda begins.

            And I’m not saying this out of lefty spite. I mean, it is actually kind of creepy.

            Think (if you dare) about the actual quasi-socialist benefits the People have embraced for generations: Social(ism) Security and Medicare. These programs are much more “leftist” than Affordable Care, and yet the Republicans would never call for their outright revocation. In fact, they agonize over their “preservation”, even as they promise to repeal and replace Medicare with Vouchercare for any American who isn’t Paul Ryan’s mother.

            “What is the principle, other than pure Socialism, that underlies the notion that preventative care should be free?” Keith asks. Can it be…and this is just a crazy shot in the dark… but can it be that it is cheaper to treat a person before they become seriously ill than afterwards? I mean, it sounds to simple to be true, but could it be just that??

            And why does Keith parse Michelle’s words as if the exact quote isn’t right in front of our eyes? “All of our kids should be able to go to college (wait for it) without a mountain of debt”. This is addressing the skyrocketing cost of tuition, not the obligation of debt-free education. It is not the same as saying that “All of our kids should be able to go to college (fullstop).” I know you understand this distinction Keith. Is it that important for you to score a phony point?

            This is what I mean by the creepiness of the socialism meme. Where communism no longer holds sway in the public imagination, “socialism” is simply the latest in plug-and-play technology. In the mouth of a conservative it literally means nothing and everything.

  2. Excellent article, Keith. It’s not hard to figure out the type of people these two charlatans are preaching their Marxist screed to. They are hoping the useful idiots outnumber US. I’m praying they are wrong…

    “I think that the country could survive four more years of Obama. But I don’t believe the country can survive in a country full of people who would reelect him.” -Rush

    1. Sadly true. Dear Leader syndrome, no matter what country we’re talking about, is just a symptom, not the disease. That such a person can rise to this level is awful; but the fact that so many believed, and still believe, that we NEED a Dear Leader is the true horror of the situation.

      Here’s a prophet who saw this coming!

      “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.”

      “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”

      “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

      “I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run.”

      “Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”

      “Americans are so enamored of equality, they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.”
      ― Alexis de Tocqueville

      Spooky, huh? And from 150 years ago!

      1. Not spooky when you think about how men were imbued with wisdom, sorely lacking (as well as common sense) since the decline of Christianity.

  3. “All of our kids should be able to go to college without a mountain of debt — not just some, all of them.”

    Michelle doesn’t actually mean college; she means free (taxpayer funded) indoctrination camps. Everyone needs that in order to peacefully submit to the government.

    “Today, because of that reform — today — our kids can stay on our insurance until they’re 26 years old.”

    Of course young adults don’t have much use for health insurance, but because their parent’s insurance rates have skyrocketed, the government needs false benefits in order to justify the crippling premiums.

    “Today, because of this reform, insurance companies have to cover basic preventative care at no [extra] cost — things like contraception, cancer screenings, prenatal care.”

    More trivial benefits (see above) that are actually targeted towards selective population control, along with Medicare cuts designed to shorten life. Destroy/ prevent non-elite births and shorten the lives of the non-elite seniors.

    “. . . . and when you’ve walked through that doorway of opportunity, he knows that you don’t slam it shut behind you. You don’t do that. You reach back and you give other folks the same opportunities you had to get ahead.”

    You surrender more and more of your personal property to the government to keep the elites in power.

    “We cannot turn back now — not now. In this country, we need to keep moving forward. Forward! Forward! (Applause.) In America, we always move forward. Forward! (Applause.)”

    You need to keep surrendering more and more of your personal property and rights until you have neither of either left.

    ‘Forward to Communism’–Stalin.

    1. todays “colleges/universities” already are ‘indoctrination camps’…
      (re: political correctness run amok. As a “conservative” student & Vet a few Profs looked down on me)

    1. She is preaching to the choir of perpetual adolescents who, through government indoctrination and advocacy of promiscuity and the destruction of the family, and the absurd notion there aren’t two distinctive sexes, demand their selfishness, self-centeredness and irresponsibility are generously rewarded.

  4. “Today, because of that reform — today — our kids can stay on our insurance until they’re 26 years old.”
    Some people are supporting their own children by the age of 22 or younger. Can Mooch explain why they are required to subsidize insurance for other people’s 25-year-old offspring in addition? If people want to provide insurance for their 25-year-old offspring — most of whom probably have newer cars than I do — LET THEM PAY FOR IT!

    As for reaching out and helping others, does anybody know of one single thing that Barack or Mooch did to help anybody else at their own expense (before they knew they would get political advantage from doing so)?

    1. Barack the Magnificent would not even help his own half-brother back in Kenya with some hospital costs he incurred. The author of “2016” gave the hospital $1000.00 for his bill.

    2. >>If people want to provide insurance for their 25-year-old offspring — most of whom probably have newer cars than I do — LET THEM PAY FOR IT!<<

      Exactly! I'm so tired of the people that want it all at my expense. They should pay their own way.

  5. Did you hear that MEEchelle is guest editor for NBC’s website “i-Village”? Comments of online women offering sexually explicit content. Women can learn such things as “20 kinky things you SO can do!” Or, about the sex tips given by the Bunny Rand Girls, Nevada prostitutes? I imagine this website will be included in all government school’s required sex education classes. After all, little girls just reaching puberty must be taught everything a sexually-perverted adult knows don’t they?

    1. Elaine, can you imagine what Laura Bush would have said if she were approached to work with this site when she was First Lady? Yes, of course you can…. :>)

      1. Obama and MEEchelle simply reflect and represent the current culture of depravity, degradation, perversion, and obsession with filth, and idol-worship of man.

  6. Really? Everyone needs to go to college? And who pays for this, Hu Jintao?

    President Hu is already providing a basic education for all Americans. Now he has to send them all to college as well?

    That’s funny.

    And regarding Forward. It is “Under the leadership of the great Barack — forward to Obamaism!” This is America after all

  7. It remains a mystery to me why comrade Obama and MooChow and the rest of the Loony Left continue to think that they invented the concept of “The Fair Shot” in America. America was FOUNDED on the principle that everyone has a fair shot regardless of their circumstances at birth. Everyone has the opportunity to better themselves and always has. That is just one of the things that makes America so great, and why people go to such lengths to come here.
    But we are not all alike and some of us won’t take our shot at our dreams. Some will try and fail and some will just dream away without ever doing anything about it.
    So, Keith is right when he says that the Left wants to give us all success at the expense of those who do work hard and succeed.
    The Left loves dependence and helplessness, they want you to think it makes people better off. But the only thing it does is ruin people and give power to those who would tyrannize and control those whom they claim to help.

    1. Thinking people understand what you have pointed out. But how many of our youth and young adults actually think? They have been raised to believe feelings and self-esteem are how one decides to act. Critical thinking, thinking about the consequences of one’s actions are both foreign concepts to the Progressive. The idea of working hard, making certain sacrifices now for a better life tomorrow, acting maturely and being responsible are also ideas, and their good fruits, that Progressives have been fighting to eliminate from the American experience. The entire government educational system for the past half century has succeeded in creating a perpetual adolescent mentality necessary for the complete control of the mind, body, and soul. The government has billed itself as the savior of mankind and too many have bought into this lie of all lies.

    2. MT for re-redistribution

      You’re right. It’s no longer a “Fair Shot” if you risk so much only to get mugged the moment you hit your mark, and are forced to give your reward to lazy slugs whose only risk was to send in a dozen absentee ballots for dead people.

  8. Great analysis Keith and I totally agree. Her prose is so blatantly socialist that it makes me wonder if half this country is filled with useful idiot?. We can only hope that we have enough thinking adults left to send this pair packing back to murder-city (Chicago) where they’ll fit right back in.

    1. Oh, and can you imagine if President Ronald Reagan was still alive what he would be thinking/saying about the present (lack of) leadership our country now has? I bet he’s spinning like a whirling dervish in the grave!

  9. Wow Keith, some vacation!! This is one of your best articles. Good stuff.

    I don’t know if your vacation precludes having your Blackberry on but in the Twittersphere today a HUGE fight brewing between Jake Tapper and Michelle Malkin. Michelle wrote a story that included some big digs at Martha Raddatz. And the sparring went from there. Worth checking out if you can spare a few minutes.

  10. Mark Steyn, in his book “After America” devotes part of a chapter to what he calls “broader infantilization.” He says “in the old days, there were, broadly, two phases of human existence: You were a child until thirteen. Then you were a working adult. Then you died. Now there are four phases: You’re a child until twelve, eleven, nine–or whenever enlightened jurisdictions think you’re entitle to go on the pill without parental notification. Then you’re an “adolescent,” an ever more elastic term of art now stretching lazily across the decades. Then you work, after a fashion. Then you quit at sixty-five, sixty, fifty-five in France, fifty in Greece, whatever you can get away with, and enjoy a three-decade retirement at public expense. The tedious business of being a grown-up is that ever-shrinking space between adolescence and retirement.” MEEchelle is reiterating what Obama said in one of his town hall meetings during the 2008 election assuring the young people he saw in the audience that under Obamacare, they would be able to remain eligible on their parent’s health coverage until they were twenty-six. And the audience applauded. Why? Because “it’s about the future of all of our children.” And the future, Mark points out, is we will all be children. The society in which 26-year-olds are considered children is a society in decline-in economic decline, cultural decline, spiritual decline, in demographic decline, in terminal decline. The western world lives increasingly in a state of deferred adulthood, he continues.

  11. I can’t stand it when they tout all the great free preventative stuff in ObamaCare. It always reminds me of a grocery store where you walk in and they just put stuff in your cart that you’re not allowed to remove. I’m well beyond needing prenatal care, why should I have to pay for it in my premiums?

    Great article Keith, vacations are good for you!

  12. Yeah right, “To Each According to Their Needs”. Well, the beautiful people
    of the great U.S.A. need you to pack your bags and head out to Chicago,
    Kenya, Spain (you like Spain right?), wherever, just GO!

  13. One of the best posts you EVER did, Keith!!

    I post on this constantly on my coping site. The other day my niece said she might get a master’s but it would be $60,000. Seriously? Kids today will have seven or eight CAREERS, not just jobs. One might be barista, or more than one. It’s a new world in which you have to be brave. Birth control not included. Maybe Michelle says this because this or that opportunity came up for her. I don’t know. But this kind of talk frosts my cahooties! It’s the most manipulative of nonsense!

  14. And by the way–not to go all ad hom, but where did college get her–some guy’s coattails and before that a made-to-order sinecure. Oh, I am mean today!

    1. College sure helped her hubby out, though, even if he is, eh, “evasive” about what he actually did there, or how he ever paid for it…

  15. Oh dear now I will spend the rest of the day collecting the brain cells as my
    poor old head exploded again. I may have to get Dr slip to skip the DNC
    convention:(

  16. Thanks Keith. I agree with the others.This is one of your best articles.

    Michelle has 2 cows.
    She takes one and gives it to your neighbor.
    She forms a cooperative to tell him how to manager it.

    1. MIchelle only has two cows because she took them from you. Actually, she would take your two cows, keep most of one of them for the Government (taxes, y’know); take more by EPA fiat by placing an additional tax on cow emissions (consuming the rest of that cow and taking a bite out of the next one); force the meat processor to take some of the cow and give it to the Government for THEIR regulatory oversight (since Republicans are the “E-Coli” party, its just another burden for the Democrats, sigh); make everyone involved in trasporting the cow donate more of it to the Government for THEIR EPA tithes and higher fuel cost driven by government policies, and eventually some part of the cow (the tounge, perhaps, in honor of Michelle Antonette) gets to the “needy”.

      Michelle then tells them they may not use it in their children’s school lunch, and launches a taxpayer funded campaign for five times the cow price to ban beef completely, other than the Kobe kind served at taxpayer expense at the White House, and whatever other gluttony that guy who lives with her wants to indulge in before his cigarette break (it would be boring to eat dog ALL the time).

      And for this, they vote for her husband…

  17. Absolutely one of your best pieces, Keith! It does, however, trigger severe cases of ‘exploding heads’ syndrome. The only thing missing on those fabulously toned arms is a tattoo of a hammer and sickle. I mean, good Lord, we are staring straight into the face of communism – Chicago style. No attempt to disguise it!

    Ironically, FOX reported on a record number of shootings in the Killing Fields of Chicago’s Southside last night – 19 shootings, 13 within a 30 minute time span. Victims were ages 14 to 20. This year, 346 people have been killed in Chicago, up 31 percent from the same period last year, while shootings are up 8 percent citywide. The homicides have been concentrated mostly in the city’s South and West Sides, where gun violence has been rampant.

    Since Chicago is home sweet home to all of the thugs and thugettes in this
    Administration, why are they being given the opportunity to disgrace this country for another 4 years? It’s surreal! As others have said, we can only hope that there are more of us than them on Nov. 6 (or as MO claims – Nov. 2).

    ***Any guesses as to who is trying to keep the alphabet networks from broadcasting Ann Romney’s speech at the Convention next week??? It’s deplorable – only one hour of coverage each night!

    1. Chicago proves the saying ‘if they take our guns away, the only ones with guns will be the criminals’. It’s so telling that the outrage the Black community showed to the Zimmerman affair was immediate and strident and nothing but silence on the killing of so many Black children in Chicago.

      re: the conventions
      IMO, they’re boring, repetitive, and partisan to the nth degree.
      One hour should be plenty for each to showcase their candidate and their platform. Actually, one day should be enough when it’s not a brokered convention.

  18. “One of the things that I try to remind people, because I always try to remind myself, is that we’re here, we’re doing this work because of our values — because of the values we believe in . . . All of our kids should be able to go to college without a mountain of debt — not just some, all of them.”

    What values? Chicago values? Chick-fil-A doesn’t reflect the ‘values’ of the Chicago mob – but casinos do.

    Rahm on Casino: “I want it for our kids”!
    http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Rahm-on-Casino-I-Want-it-For-Our-Kids–167231175.html

    1. Prediction: if the casino measure is approved, it will take 20 times the estimated cost to build it and will be smeared with graft, corruption and outright thievery. The employees will be unionized and not subject to any scrutiny by the general public.

      Within three years of it’s opening day, indictments will be issued to…..suspected loan sharks, card cheats, video game fixers and outright theft and collusion of the card dealers.
      IMO, of course.

  19. Good job Keith, great post! Just wish it was not so, I fear the return of these people to power. Scared to death, actually, of what this country will become.

  20. Keith you are so on point. We have two adult children; they went to college; they took out some student loans; we took out parent loans – I’ve equated what we borrowed to 2 new cars – no big deal to me; our kids have skin in the game because they have some debt for that; the amount is not that great and the payment manageable. They were able to stay on our insurance until they were out of college and I believe up until their next birthday – gave them 6+ months to find employment (I know – it is more difficult than it was 10 years ago, but nonetheless, gave them 6+ months). I know people whose children are on their insurance, one is a high school drop out and has menial work; a couple have chosen to hang at their parent’s house and not go to school or work marginally – why should your insurance company have to allow you to keep them on the policy until they are 26 – Most kids if they are 18 when they graduate from high school and go to college, should be done by the time they are 24 – that’s taking 5 years for a bachelor’s degree. Why should a parent have to pay to keep their children on their insurance while they get their masters, doctorate, find work, etc. You can buy insurance through your university at a nominal rate if you are doing graduate work. If you are employed and insurance is not offered, insurance for people in their 20’s is a minimal expense. Why do kids need a brand new car – why can’t they buy a used car. I was married 10 years before I got any new furniture and then it was only a few pieces. We have created a society of people who think they deserve everything right when they want it. I can’t even begin to finish my thoughts – it would take pages.

  21. You might notice the subtle yet deceptive way everything she said is phrased. “you too can have everything you want and need…” Before you take a bite of the apple, wealth without sacrifice is neither. She implies hard work entitles someone to sucess and it just isnt so. Hard work and value are not the same. To call this line of thinking “socialist” is down playing the moral message. She is deceitful and lying to the youth of America.

  22. Michelle should have BO change the campaign slogan from FORWARD to FEAR THEM…for they don’t want the government to run your life, be responsible for your well-being and provide for all your needs without you having to raise a finger in effort.

  23. You’re spoiling us, Keith. You;re supposed to be on vacation and you end up publishing such an excellent and thorough analysis of Moochelle’s stump speech comments.

    I tortured myself and watched Moochelle on Leno recently and when asked what Obummer’s biggest accomplishment was, she answered “health care reform”. She then went on to explain how she was on a plane with “my staff” when the SCOTUS decision was announced. She BS’d and said that she didn’t realize how many young people (under 26) on “her” staff had pre-existing conditions and were so happy and relieved over the decision. She lied and said they were worried that they would not always be government employees and with pre-existing conditions, they feared they’d never be able to get health insurance again. This is SUCH A LIE and SUCH BULLCRAP on so many levels, I need that duct tape for my exploding head!

    I have nothing to add – EXCEPT that in less than five months, I will finally once again be proud of our First Lady, (Ann Romney).

    1. Here’s a video clip of that topic:

      http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/08/michelle-obama-jay-leno.html

      (I was wrong, she referred to “my team” not staffers. But, I have heard her call them “my staff” before, in interviews in London at the Olympics.)

      From the article:

      Asked on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” to name the initiative she is most proud of from her husband’s first term, Obama pointed to the healthcare law recently upheld by the Supreme Court, calling it “something that hasn’t been accomplished by a sitting president in a century.”

      She told Leno that White House staffers were on a plane and “broke out in cheers” moments after learning that the law had been upheld. Some also “breathed a sigh of relief,” Obama said, because they have pre-existing medical conditions and want to be sure that they can obtain health insurance when they move on to future jobs.

      “That’s no longer an issue for Americans,” she said. “You can’t be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions.”

      Call me crazy, but I find it difficult to believe that her “team” has so many twenty-five year old employees who have pre-existing conditions. More importantly, she is LYING and misrepresenting the pre-existing condition issue completely. She is basically saying that if someone has a medical condition and leaves his job and insurance, he will never be able able to get health insurance again, and isn’t that wonderful that Obummer fixed that for them.

  24. When the Obamas redistribute their $12+ million dollars and spread it equally to ALL Americans, then perhaps we should listen. When Michelle Obama donates the cost of HER college education to some “white” poor student, then perhaps we will listen. When Michelle Obama actually begins parenting her daughters instead of passing them off to someone else, perhaps we will listen. When Michelle Obama and Barack Obama start paying their own fair share instead of having the taxpayers pay for them , then perhaps we will listen.

    Until they get past the “Do as I say and not as I do” practice, NO ONE should listen.

  25. Yeah, go figure that the “Parasite’s” wife would say that……so again Koffler I ask if you were once such a “mainstream” journalist why can’t you bring this to the Mainstream Liberal Media??…..Guess that you’re not the big “insider” that you think you are….still picking and poking

  26. I agree with all the great commenters here. This is a brilliant story, excellent analysis. Oh,the lady in the White House really likes redistribution of wealth. Not hers and her friends though, I presume. She preaches like Napoleon, the great leader pig, in Orwells Animal Farm.
    By the way, I liked Mitt Romnys little joke ( ?) on his and Anns birthcertificates. The Obamamachine is going crazy, can hardly focus on the Akin smearing and Romney tax returns right now.
    I wonder if you are going to see the 2016 movie that Susan mentioned above during your vacation, Keith ? Please give a review if you do. That film will probably not be distributed over here.

    1. Since “show us your tax returns” is the Democrats’ answer to “show us your birth certificate”, Romney all but guaranteed that the topic will remain alive. Thanks, Mittens! You’re the Joe Biden of the GOP.

  27. Well this caught my ‘eye’.

    What is a mountain of debt? Average tuition at a public university for those living off campus is just over $8,000 a year. With some modest saving over time by parents and a long term loan at today’s rates, is it really such an onerous thing for a kid to go to college without other people helping pay for it with their taxes?

    Well Michelle it’s the cost of just the top you wore to the Palace oh dear there goes my head agin going for duct tape!:(

  28. WHY WONT ANYONE CALL THE OBAMA’S “SOCIALIST”???!!!

    It is so plain to see; That is why “Barack Hussein Obama” is HIDING his “college records”…all those left-wing, neo-socialist, anti-American classes he took @ Columbia

    1. There is no truth when it comes to the occupiers of the white house, did
      they go to college? what is real about them? all photoshopped and sealed.
      for G-d’s sake I read on a blog Mochelle was born a man, played football
      in HS (#44) and had surgery to become a “lady”. Now go figure that out,
      she always looks mannish (and angrrry), maybe it’s true. No pictures of her
      pregnant btw.

        1. Yes, I know, that’s why I believe that she was (is) a he, you know,
          First Guy in the WH. More that you look at “her” body shape, it is that of a man. No woman has lower legs like that. Many “firsts” for these unprecedented WH occupiers.

    1. In case you’re interested, I posted about that in another post here last night, with links to photos:

      It appears that Moochelle traveled to Camp David separately. Obummer headed out today with the girls and a couple of their friends:

  31. Maybe the lie about there being a war on women (NOT) comes from the
    “First Lady’s” struggle with her own gender identity, feeling that she was a woman trapped in a man’s body and she had to get out of there via
    surgery.

  32. Keith:
    I just found your website and simply love it. I am in the Bay Area and maybe we have 7 Conservatives (well, it feels like it) in this area. I believe there are a bunch of closet Conservatives (now that is irony), those who have lost the fight to stand up and speak the obvious truths in a crazy world of conformity.
    It sure feels like the Reagan Carter days, where a few months before the election the nation quietly retreats and votes in a stronger leader.
    Thanks, your column offers insights and brevity of the DC crowd. I will share your website with my band of seven.
    All the best to you, Jeff
