Chuck Norris Rules!

Here is an article by Chuck Norris today on TownHall.com

Surprise! its on Healthcare...

"outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children." The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.

The bill says that the government agents, "well-trained and competent staff," would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains ... modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development"


Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare

Obama v. Obama

I found this YouTube compilation of some news clips, speeches and debate clips of Obama, during the early part of the campaign and also during his church controversy. It is pretty funny to hear him in his own words. Also the clips with Chris Matthews and the AFL-CIO representative is funny because the debate they show is so early on and its before the media professed there undying love of Obama. The Union guy hands it to Obama, so classic.

Hillary has a Beer!

This is hysterical video, well it is kinda boring because its a Hillary press conference. Apparently its on a short flight she was taking and she (i think it was totally staged) has got a full cup of beer, she is trying to be perceived as being normal, I guarantee she made someone come get it from her once the camera was off. She took a sip during the video and it seemed like she really wanted everyone to notice that she had a beer LOL...the creepiest part of this video by far (which I didn't even notice til like a minute in) was creepy old Ted Danson and his lib wife standing behind the Hill. The wife it seems to be hanging on every word of nothing Hillary spews out of her mouth, almost pervertedly. Maybe it was Ted's idea for the beer, he was after all Sam the bartender!
