You Lie! Thank you, Congressman Wilson

Besides breaking longstanding Congressional decorum, Congressman Joe Wilson is to be applauded for having the testicular fortitude to say what were we all thinking throughout the entirity of the president's speech last night. The video below is not presented so much to show you the spectacle, but because I think the "But how did you know!?" look on Pelosi's face is friggin' hillarious.In any case, Congressman Wilson has apologized for his remarks and has been roundly condemned by both Democrats and Republicans. But, not I. For while the networks and her Speakership will remain determined to focus on the act (shouting "you lie" at POTUS), I will focus instead on the assertion (that the President lied to the American people and to Congress about illegals being covered by his proposals).

The fact is that on two seperate occassions Congressional democrats had the opportunity to close the loophole in the bill that would allow illgals access to the coverage. While it is true that no explicit language in the proposals would grant taxpayer funded healthcare to illegal aliens, it is a fact that they would be given treatment under the program, that it would be illegal under the current law to deny treatment, and that the president knows all of this to be true. He lied to us anyway. If it were not true, why would congressional Democrats now be telling us they will move quickly to close the loophole exposed to us last night on live television by Congressman Joe Wilson?

I see this as quite similar to the way terrorists hide behind women and children and then cry foul when some of them die in the course of killing the bad guys. Obama thought he could go to the House and spew all sorts of garbage and would be protected by the decorum of the institution. He a coward, just as are those who use human shields and embed the materials of war among civilian populations.

I am convinced more than ever that his allegiances are to someone other than American citizens. Virtually everything he has said and done has been at the expense of the US and to the benefit of our enemies. And all done under the cover of supposedly making amends with our enemies. BS. He is on their side and the longer it goes the less compelled he feels to make any attempt to hide the fact.

I wondered at first why he would let all those drone attacks take place that kill terrorists and their followers. Now I wonder it it's not because they are from a different sect of Islam. You need a program to know who's who in that insane world, and they have no problem killing members of another sect for any reason.

Wilson already apologized for the fact that he says he picked the wrong setting with his outburst. And the White House has accepted his apology.

Now it’s time for everybody to take a cue from the famous liberal playbook and say, “It’s time to move on.”

It just so happens that Wilson spoke for millions and millions of Americans who are not fooled by this administration’s arrogance and folly.

You go, Joe! There are so many individual stories and events that are galvanizing the strength of the conservatives in this country. The liberals pout and they lose in the polls.

Obama delivers a combative speech and he loses in the polls. They just can’t seem to figure it out.

And now the next big group that’s showing unsustainable growth is the U.S. government. Haven’t we learned anything about bubble’s bursting? What’s going to happen when the government bubble bursts?

GO JOE!

I’m sorry, but when someone invades my house and
is caught ravaging my children, I’m not going to
politely ask that person to leave. Joe Wilson
behaved appropriately. The House of the people
has been invaded and looted. They have been caught
rading our treasures and defiling our Constitution.

Righteous anger IS APPROPRIATE!

Shout the truth with strength and resolve.

BE FEARLESS!

At Bush's 2006 State of the Union speech, Democrats interrupted his speech to applaud and cheer their obstruction of Bush's proposal to reform Social Security.

Fast-forward to about 45:50 to see it. And at 46:05, take careful note of who you see in the lower left corner of the frame.

Hint: he didn't vote "present" this time.

I found Wilson's apology both unnecessary and inappropriate. Obama, like his real father, is a liar and a thief and a murderer, and calling him on it is nothing to be apologetic over.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The howls from the mass of pampered, specially-privileged elite congressjerks when Wilson said what he said show that Wilson struck a nerve when he yelled the truth.

[DPMD]

Wilson may be the one member of the House who actually represented his constituents at the very moment he spoke. No wonder the hysterical response from both sides of the aisle.

I fiercely agree with you.

Saw this linked from Drudge...

From NBC’s Mike Viqueira
The White House tonight is providing the below clarification on what the president’s health-care proposals would mean when it comes to the issue of illegal immigrants.

...

Today, for the first time as far as we know, the administration is backing a provision that would require proof of citizenship before someone could enroll in a plan selected on the exchange.

Here, the administration also concedes that hospitals would be compensated with public funds for the care of undocumented immigrants.

Thank you for telling it like it is, Mr. Wilson.
