Moveon.org is celebrating the passing of the House's health care reform bill, and in a recent e-mail acknowledges that the bill is in fact a way to spread the wealth.
Dear MoveOn member,
Big news: The House just passed health care reform, including a national public health insurance option!1
This is a major victory, and we have House progressives to thank for it—including Representative John Tierney.
When the media and conservatives declared the public option dead, House progressives made clear that it was non-negotiable. They pushed hard to lower health care costs for middle class families. And they made sure that funding for health care reform will come from those who can really afford it—not from a tax on all of our health care plans.2
They acknowledge that the lefts goal all along was to gain power over the economy and continue to take money from hard working Americans, and give to those who choose not to work, and want to sponge off the rest of society.
This is truly a sad, slippery slope the United States is heading down, and we mustn't allow the liberal agenda to "progress" any further.

President Obama has consistently proved that he is unable or unwilling, or potentially both, to make important decisions regarding our men and women in the armed forces who fight on a daily basis to protect the freedoms the Obama Administration is so quickly trying to remove.
Obama decided to take the attention away from his lack of a decision regarding a troop surge in Afghanistan today when making a speech regarding the shooting and murder of multiple soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas.
Obama speech began in his typical man-child fashion, where he failed to see how grave the circumstances of 12 murders were. He began by giving a shout out to several people, and his tone and body language clearly illustrated that he lacks the capacity to be the United States Commander-in-Chief as he was smiling and laughing at his own perceived humor reminiscent of a speech given to Obama-psychophants at an SEIU meeting, rather than a presidential speech detailing the horrific murder of some of our nations hero's.
In Obama's opening remarks he said -
"I want to give you my solemn guarantee that this is not the end of a process but a beginning of a process...and we are going to follow up, every single member of my team understands that this is a top priority for us"
This is a statement that many American would love to hear President Obama make when in reference to the troop level decision in Afghanistan, although, this comment was made in the context of a completely unrelated issue, one having to do with a conference that Obama continued to praise and thank the participants of. Obama is clearly unable to leave his ego at the door, and even when some of our nations best men and women are laying in a morgue, Obama feels the need to continuously be in campaign mode, and it is both sickening on a physical and emotional level. When there is a mass murder on U.S. soil of several soldiers, one would think that the President would leave the remarks about a conference for another day, and address the death of our nations finest solely, and solemnly, however, that is something our clearly immature President is unable to fathom and accomplish.
Obama then went on to say -
"I plan to make some broader remarks about the challenges that lay ahead, as well as collaboration with our administration, but as some of you may have heard there has been a tragic shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas"
He said this as though it inconvenienced him. How dare these United States soldiers die when he was supposed to be making a speech to a group of Obama addicts. How dare these brave men and women give their lives at such an inconvenient time. They should've cleared this with the Obama administration as to not disturb the great one.
Then in typical Obama-hypocrisy fashion Obama went on to say -
"my immediate thoughts and prayers are with the wounded, and the families of the fallen, and those who live and serve at Fort Hood. These are men and women who have made the selfless and courageous decision to risk and at times give their lives to protect the rest of us on a daily basis"
"It's difficult enough when we lose these Americans in battles over seas, it is horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army Base on American soil"
Obama's thoughts and prayers were no where near the soldiers, and perhaps that is a good thing if his prayers are still led by Rev. Wright. Obama was inconvenienced by the events, and had to wait until after he addressed the minor details of 12 dead United States citizens before continuing with his egotistic speech.
Obama then went on to brazenly say that it is difficult when we lose American lives in battles over seas. This clearly illustrates that everything out of the Presidents mouth is a fabrication and a lie. Obama has no concern for the men and women fighting over seas, for if he did he would not waver on the decision to sent more troops to Afghanistan per request of General McChrystal.
President Obama is an insult to the men and women who give their life fighting for freedom. This speech was rude, inconsiderate, and frankly full of shit. Obama has consistently showed a lack of concern for our troops, and if it came down to continuing the Obama campaign style speech of addressing the deaths of military members, it is clear what the President would rather be doing. Although there are times when we all would rather be doing something else, the fact that the President doesn't know how to handle himself in the wake of 12 deaths proves that he is incompetent, naive, and unfit to lead the United States military.
The latest progressive attack on the right comes in a seemingly innocuous radio ad promoting energy conservation. On the surface that isn't a horrible thing, and turning off the lights and television when not in use is a perfectly fine suggestion. If the ad simply promoted conserving energy there would be no problem, however, the ad doesn't stop there. The ad consists of several "dumb hillbilly" style men and a child questioning why the need to turn off the lights, and that the TV is in the other room and is thus too far away to turn off. The ad is complete with a banjo playing in the background. In just a few seconds the progressives are able to accomplish three of their favorite ideas. First they promote their energy agenda. They also imply Conservatives and Republicans are stupid compared to the Ivy League trained progressives. Lastly, in true progressive liberal fashion, they bash anyone who doesn't immediately jump on their ideological bandwagon.
Edit - After the Fort Hood shooting it is shown that everyone must be super politically correct, and that mindset let to the shooting, however, those on the left are exempt from such a rule.
