Duped Independent Freaks Out Over Health Care Bill

Posted by Jessica on Monday, November 09, 2009 12:00:00 AM
My husband (a wishy-washy independent, who voted for Obama) and I were watching the local Chicago news, after the travesty of a bill passed on Saturday. (We don't discuss politics too often, because he thinks I'm crazy when I tell him our gov't is tyrannical.) They began the night's coverage by discussing certain tax increases and 'sin' taxes. My husband, being a freedom-loving, big brother-hating, hard-working party guy, looked at me and said, "Huh? What do they mean by 'sin' taxes?"

I simply responded, "Well, this is what you have when the gov't interferes with our Health care. EVERYTHING you do will be taxed, because EVERYTHING you do will affect the cost of Health Care."

My husband shook his head and said, "Well, I don't like this at all."

Apparently, this isn't the "Change" he voted for.

No Jihad Here, You Silly Conclusion Jumping Infidels

From Founding Bloggers:

[via Instapundit] Regarding the terrorist attack on Fort Hood, which the FBI assures us is not a terrorist attack, here is a quote allegedly from the now dead terrorist:

Mr Lee said Hasan repeatedly stated: ‘Muslims should rise up against the aggressors.’ [MORE]

CAIR says don’t blame Muslims. Well, this report from the Daily Mail raises issues, but let’s stay tuned and see how things shake out once they’ve settled down.

UPDATE: This sounds troubling:

Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.

“To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause,” said the Internet posting. “Scholars have paralled (sic) this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.”

That’s not Jihad silly. That’s freedom fighting.

UPDATE:
From AP: Ft. Hood suspect reportedly shouted `Allahu Akbar'

FORT HOOD, Texas – Soldiers who witnessed the shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before opening fire, the base commander said Friday.

Lt. Gen. Robert Cone said officials had not yet confirmed that the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, made the comment, which is Arabic for "God is great!" before the rampage Thursday, which left 30 people wounded, including the gunman.
