GOVERNMENT MOONBAT OF THE WEEK

I've suggested making this a weekly occurrence. So far, it seems pretty easy to come up with these moonbats. This week we are dealing with Rep. Carol Shea-Porter. First of all ... notice that she is a hyphenated American. Right off the bat, we know that we are dealing with a person who cannot make a decision. But that is for another rant. For today we will stick to a quote from Shea-Porter about health insurance. She is one of these Americans who believes that you come about health insurance because you are "fortunate." Here's the quote ...

"I think when you can pay for insurance, you must ... For those who are blessed to have insurance through their companies, they should keep it."

There are two parts to this mindless quote from Rep. Carol Shea-Porter. I'm a little unclear on this. By "can pay" does our hyphenated congresswoman mean people who have the money left after their cell phones, PlayStations, beer, SUV payments and dinners at fancy restaurants? Or does she mean people who might have enough for a health insurance policy of they only spend for the basic necessities. Just looking for clarification. And why we're all being clarified ... what's the deal with this word "must"? Is the good congresswoman telling us that she is the one who tells us what we "must" spend our money for? She is assuming control over that portion of our life we expended to earn that money? Nice.

The second part of this quote implies that people who pay for health insurance or obtain health insurance as a benefit from their employer are "blessed." Some may also say "lucky" or "fortunate." The point is that these people did not have to work to obtain these benefits, nor do they have to work to keep these benefits. Nope. According to Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, you are merely blessed." Typical fare for the left. Work hard, make good choices, get the right job .. and you're just one lucky stiff.

What others are saying

  • Fortunate to have Health Care?
    In 1996 I joined the US Navy's hardest academic program in existence, the nuclear power program.

    In 1998 I successfully completed the program after thousands of dedicated study hours and essay only examinations.

    After long deployments, extended work hours away from my family, and finishing my degree on my personal time, I was honorably discharged, and now make over 6 figures working for a large energy company.

    The reason I have affordable health care for me and my family?

    BECAUSE I EARNED IT.
  • the worst part
    After all the "good hearted liberals" efforts on health care reform, there will still be as many as 30 million people left out.

    Good work guys!

    So, my personal desire is that President Barack Obama live a very long life, in a jail cell, having been impeached for high crimes, and thoroughly prosecuted. That prison in Illinois would be a good place to keep him.

    Son, I wrote my obituary long ago. I do not back down from tyrants.
  • @ off the reservation
    None of my business but you may want to tone it down a notch before the secret service knocks on your door....
  • feminism
    If feminists want to keep their maiden names, more power to them, but now we're seeing their male offspring with the same hyphenated last name on their football jerseys. I believe I'd have to break my feminist mother's heart and go with dad's last name. She can hang with angry dykes and carry protest signs all she wants, but I'm not down with it.
  • OTR and Butt
    You both pretty much covered this for me. Well said.
    Fortunate my AZZ !!
  • Rep. Carol Shea------Porter
    THAT's not Rep. Carol Shea-Porter! Look at the picture closely. That's Martin Short in Drag!
  • hyphenated Americans
    Facts for thought:
    A white co-worker at our office was born in (South) Africa. He has dual citizenship. He truly is an African American.
  • Steve O
    Brilliant. Great comment.

    I'm gonna use that. Is it copyrighted?

  • Blessed is Code
    Blessed, lucky, fortunate and other such words are code to service workers whose managers keeps them from getting full time status and thus ineligible for employer health insurance. Managers do this by scheduling them for less than 32 hours. So when people talk about those "lucky enough to have health insurance" they are making a connection with those that work but do not qualify for employer health insurance. These workers are the target audience. This group of workers will be reminded of efforts to pass health insurance reform come the next few election cycles and this group will remember how the Democrat Party stood up for them. This is bad news for Republicans. Republicans need to aggressively promote a different version of health care reform based on free market principles. They need to spend RNC money if need be. Free market ideas will win if the ideas are presented to the American people.
  • Government Moonbat
    Excuse me but I pay through my work..80$ a week. Thank you...
  • a reminder for you dumbasses...........
    POLITICIANS ARE SCUM.........
  • I wonder...
    If Democrats can accept as fact that the government has the power to force citizens to buy health insurance, does that also mean that they have the power to PROHIBIT citizens from buying HDTV's or iPods, or other luxury goods until they have purchased health insurance?

    And if you could turn that into a resolution, I wonder how many congressmen would vote for it. S
  • Isn't the definition of "liberal" ...
    "liberal with somebody else's money"

    well, isn't it?

    You have noticed that these (expletives deleted) have been very liberal with extracting dollars from everyone in sight in order to liberally increase demand for health care - but have been careful to EXCLUDE themselves from having to participate in their own plan.

    If it's so good, why aren't the plan perpetrators first in line for it?
  • D-NH-1st says it all.
    This should tell you why she is a moonbat: D-NH-1st. That's right D.
    M. Savage was right when he said liberalism is a mental disorder. I have noticed that on the surface most of liberalism is based on coveting what someone else has.
  • Yeah, fortunate
    The employer pays the premiums for health insurance for their employees with money that would otherwise be in their paycheck. And don't say that if the employer were not paying the premiums that the owners would make more money. Competition would prevent that.
    This healthcare debate has accomplished one good thing. Even the dull among us have begun to understand the real issues in healthcare. With understanding comes distrust of people like Shea-Porter.
  • Is there such thing as an African-German?
    "So the Americans now living abroad in places like Japan,Iraq,Aghanistan....are they now to be considered the nationalities of the countries they are in? As in Americans in Iraq are now Iraqi...Americans in Germany are now German,or Korea and so on...? Just seeing if Boortz is consistent, in wanting people of different nationalities to dipose of their original nationlity."

    Kind of depends on whether or not they immigrated to that country. If you want to become a full German citizen, file the papers, get your citizenship, and then take full ownership of being German!

    However, if you just work there are a foreigner, you are an American. Don't tell me they use the term African-German, Asian-German, or American-German. That would be crazy!
  • fortunate
    What burns me up is when people say that we are "fortunate" to be born in America and not some third world toilet. Well, that is an insult to my ancestors who were SMART enough to leave where they were and come to America, the land of opportunity. Nothing "fortunate" about it, it's brains and savvy that are the reasons why I was born in America.

    This is nothing but a liberal trying to lay a guilt trip on you by saying you are "fortunate"
  • It's all about fortune????
    This one really chaps my hide. Fortune? It's just fortune that gets us where we are? We have to be fortunate???? Liberals HELP the less fortunate?!?!?!?!?! I really hate liberals and this is the BIG ONE for me.

    ***IF*** it was all about fortune I would have been dead on a reservation long ago from alcohol poisoning. What has fortune done for many Native Americans on reservations across this country??? NOTHING! I want NOTHING from this USeless government but to be left alone. I MADE MY FORTUNE YOU FILTHY B$TCH! I got up off my a$$, left that reservation, and MADE my fortune. So all you liberals just go back to that filthy rock you slimed out from under.

    I was very "fortunate" to have Indian Health Care on a reservation AND IT ALMOST KILLED ME! Your compassionate health care has f'd over my mother. Your ever so compassionate progressive morally right Lloyd Doggett would not even provide a single response to requests for assistance on getting my mother Indian Health Care support, THAT SHE WAS ENTITLED TO BY TREATY! F-U you liberal slime b$tch.

    Liberals taught me to hate. Go ahead all you filthy liberals. BRING IT! Bring your moral superiority you filthy repugnant liberals. If you are liberal then you are a LIAR, a CHEAT, and a THIEF.
  • on hyphenated Americans....
    So the Americans now living abroad in places like Japan,Iraq,Aghanistan....are they now to be considered the nationalities of the countries they are in? As in Americans in Iraq are now Iraqi...Americans in Germany are now German,or Korea and so on...? Just seeing if Boortz is consistent, in wanting people of different nationalities to dipose of their original nationlity.
  • Blessed
    Too bad this woman was not "blessed" with a modicum of intelligence. How do these idiots keep getting elected??
  • hyphenated congresswoman
    Neal, if Carol Shea-Porter is a hyphenated American, then wouldn't that make her a hyphenated congressPERSON ? This PC 'stuff' really confuses me too !
