That’s odd. I don’t see my ”Prophylactic Program for Educating Dumb STD-Infested Coital Couples” listed. I wants me grant money!!!!

Dok,

How much you want to bet that the condom conundrum was hidden in this one… “$380 million in the Senate bill for the Women, Infants and Children program”

Gio,

And if the condoms are not secreted within the $380 million for the Women, Infants and Children program, they’re probably within the $300 million for grants “to combat violence against women” or the $2 billion for federal “child-care” block grants.

And what the h*ll are $1 billion for “community-development block grants” and $4.2 billion for “neighborhood stabilization activities”? ACORN by any other name smells just as foul.

Well, okay, I suppose I can open an ACORN branch out here in the sticks and see what takes root. There’s a couple of people that haven’t been organized into the community yet. That’s worth at least $20,000,000 – doncha think?

Hopefully the 4 co-workers laid off at my company today can get a piece of this pie. And our principals that took a 20% pay cut can make up their salary cuts.
This is complete CRAP…and is exactly what The One planned for our country. His plan to turn us into a socialist country is in place.

If this hideous bill is passed and signed into law, the only hurdle left for the socialists to clear will be nationalized health care.

If they manage to get that, and I have no reason to believe they won’t, its game-over for us as a free country.

I hope to God that their socialized medicine garbage doesn’t go through. Doctors who are in practice now will be closing up shop and getting the h*ll out of dodge. They DO NOT want any part of it.

Anybody been in the military? If so, you know exactly how socialized medicine works. You were lucky to even get to see the same doctor twice and some of the quacks passing for doctors are so arrogant they won’t even listen to what you are saying. I had broken my foot and a PA said I didn’t. “Here, take some Motrin. I will put on an ace bandage. You just need to elevate your foot overnight. That will take care of it.” The next day, after being up all night with my food throbbing and swelling up, I went back to the base clinic and got to see the ortho doc. He took x-rays, but I had to wait for two hours to get the results, because everyone on base had to watch or go see a guest motivational speaker. The Air Force was doing a “Quality Air Force” program (meaning, more work, less people to do it.).
He told me, “Yup, your foot is broken. Let’s put a cast on it.” I went home on leave a few days later and broke my foot again from trying to board a puddle jumper. I got home, went to go to Womack Army hospital and the wait was going to be indefinite. I decided to forget about it, suck it up and go to an orthopedic doctor in Raleigh. He took more x-rays and asked, “Why did they put a cast on your foot? You need to be walking on it, so I am going to fit you with a walking boot.” That is one example of many dealing with a microcosm of socialized medicine. And Air Force medical care is MUCH better than the other branches. Ask anyone who has been in the military and they will give you stories that are much, much worse. A lot of people in the Army would deliberately go to the Air Force clinics instead of the Army clinics because they got better care.

Hey Dave…

Don’t forget amnesty is going to be coming up sometime soon too.

We’ve got H.R. 45…gun control and the Fariness Doctrine knocking on the door too.

Lovely isn’t it?

Call me stupid, but I just don’t see how anything on that list is considered ‘stimulus’. What’s it supposed to stimulate? (Please don’t answer that.)

Ladies and gentlemen,
Can’t you all see that Obama really cares about you? He is doing this for our own good. I think now, perhaps, the idiots who voted for this guy will get a chance to see him for what he is, a radical socialist. I also can’t believe what I heard come out of Chuck Shumer’s mouth, about how the American people don’t care about a little pork in this bill. HELLO!!! It is time for us to start gathering our pitchforks. The time is coming to have a march on Washington! We will need to take our country back from these wingnuts. There is no intelligent life in DC.

Dion,

Would a pump action, 12 gauge pitchfork do?
