| Yes, America's anger man is away today, and this is your undocumented anger man sitting in as uh as Geoffrey from Columbus, Ohio said, You're not even an American. | |
| What do you know? | |
| That's uh that's very true. | |
| Great to be with you from uh Ice Station EIB in far northern New Hampshire. | |
| By the way, just to pick up one final point on what uh Jeffrey was talking about and is saying that the Catholic Church should quit whining, should quit taking federal dollars. | |
| He uh Jeffrey kept saying I was playing word games, so he didn't want to listen. | |
| Uh but the point is this is nothing to do with whether you take federal dollars. | |
| Everybody, everybody has to comply with Commissar Sabilius when it comes to the health care arrangements uh that you make for your employees. | |
| It's one size fits all from Maine to Hawaii for everybody, regardless of whether I don't take any federal dollars in uh in my line of work, but I'm gonna have to comply with this uh too. | |
| That that's just that's just the way it is. | |
| Obamacare is one size fits all health care for three hundred and ten million people from Maine to Hawaii. | |
| That's why it's gonna be a bigger disaster than Canadian government health care or uh British National Health Service or health care in Europe, because nobody has ever attempted government health care on this scale before. | |
| And as uh Commissar Sabilis makes clear, she's now uh this uh administration is now going to impose one size fits all uh for everybody. | |
| Doesn't matter whether you receive federal dollars or all the rest of it, if you're an employer, this is what you do. | |
| This is what you gotta do. | |
| And uh that's why this election is critical. | |
| Because if a uh stake is not driven through the heart of Obamacare early next year, as soon as the new president takes office, this thing will never be killed. | |
| If it's not killed in this next presidential term, it will never be killed, and we will be uh stuck with this thing for good, and government health care fundamentally transforms the relationship between the citizen and the state into something closer to junkie and pusher, and eventually or any competing or uh institutions with a different view of things, whether it's the Catholic Church or anybody else, just shrivels away, and you have this one big government monolith uh determining everything. | |
| And that's what's at stake in this election, and that's why the most important thing you can demand from your candidate, whoever it is, whether it's Mitt or Newt or Rick Santorum or anybody else, is that they're on the first thing they're gonna do in January twenty thirteen is kill this sucker dead uh and bury it and salt the earth and ensure it never returns to stalk the land again. | |
| Because if you cross this line, once the goodies start kicking in, once all the health care goodies start kicking in in a couple of a year's time, and people like Jeffrey in Columbus feel they're getting more out of Obamacare than uh they're uh than they're they're paying into it, it's gonna just be like every other government entitlement uh that you're never gonna be rid of it, and uh it's just gonna metastasize and eventually swallow the state. | |
| In the province of Ontario, uh health care expenditures uh, I think in the middle of next decade are projected to reach over eighty percent of revenues. | |
| It will be higher here because in certain respects people are more unhealthy here. | |
| There's higher rates of heart disease and diabetes and all kinds of things. | |
| So if this Obamacare sucker is not killed stone dead in January 2013, uh it's uh i and where and we still have it the time of the 2016 election, it is over. | |
| It's over big time. | |
| That's what uh that's what's at stake. | |
| Uh there's all kinds of other news out there. | |
| Rush is gonna do the Tuesday morning quarterback thing tomorrow, and he'll he'll get into the whole uh uh the Super Bowl thing with you there. | |
| I've just been talking about some of the halftime stuff and some of the ads, and and and uh as I said, I found this Clint Eastwood ad deeply depressing. | |
| Uh because Clint is a movie director, he's a skilled movie director, he's made great movies, and he's and he b and he is an American archetype. | |
| Uh the crit the the gritty loner, the grizzled loner, the man with no name, Dirty Harry, the uh the iconoclastic maverick guy, and he's doing this ad for the most brain dead collectivism uh in the Super Bowl uh on uh y last night, this two minute ad saying, you know, it's half time in America, we've taken some uh licks, but if we all pull together, it's all gonna be come roaring back just like Detroit is roaring back. | |
| And Detroit is roaring back in this was a Chrysler ad, and as I tried to point out to Geoffrey, not only is it the case that I'm not even an American, but the guys who own Chrysler aren't even Americans. | |
| Uh that that's an Itali and no no, no, I'm playing the morning games again, Mr Snardley. | |
| Oh yes Italian they're Italian passport holders. | |
| They're citizens of Italy. | |
| And they own the Chrysler Motor Company. | |
| And that's just word games. | |
| Because what matters is that somehow Clint striding through this this post industrial uh apocalyptic wasteland embodies the American spirit. | |
| Uh uh a reader uh a listener points out that in fact I was wrong to say that uh that nothing could be more American uh than an Italian automobile company building automobiles in the province of Ontario, because he points out that a lot of them are built in Mexico too. | |
| So I just want to no disrespect to the Mexicans. | |
| I didn't mean to exclude you from that. | |
| Nothing could be more American than a an Italian automobile company building its vehicles in Ontario and Mexico City. | |
| You can't get more Americans like uh more American than that. | |
| And there's something I must say, you know, again, speaking as a sinister foreigner, there's something delightfully cynical about the way foreign enterprises uh promote themselves in the United States. | |
| I always like it, I always have a chuckle when if I ever do Russia's show from New York City, and I'm wandering round the corner uh from the studios in New York, and you pass a branch of T D Bank, whose slogan is T D Bank America's Neighborhood Bank. | |
| And of course T D uh for those in the know stands for Toronto Dominion Bank, and they're as cunning they're as cutting as the Chrysler Automobile Company, sixty percent Italian owned, but what could be more American? | |
| says Jeffrey of Columbus, Ohio. | |
| So we'll talk uh about that one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two. | |
| Uh Obama says uh that he's getting better at his job. | |
| He's getting better and better at it every day. | |
| And uh I suggested that he by the time he's been in the role for six decades he he might really be on top of it. | |
| Like uh Her Majesty the Queen, uh Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II sixty years ago today, uh in uh she was in colonial Kenya when it uh when it happened. | |
| I don't want to start any rumors implying that she's uh you know, Barack Obama is her love child or whatever, and uh that's why he was born in that Mambasa hospital and it was all covered up. | |
| I'm not getting into that at all. | |
| Don't want to get into that at all. | |
| Uh Barack Obama President Obama, when he met the Queen, he gave her an iPod loaded with uh his speeches. | |
| Uh I think even if you build uh buy the iPod with the extra large gigabyte storage, you can actually only get uh two Obama speeches on it on one iPod. | |
| Maybe you can get two Obama speeches and one very short third speech on it. | |
| But I would love to know, as the Queen celebrates sixty years on the throne, where the IPOD I mean that's a great gift, isn't it? | |
| Think of think uh of how much your loved one would appreciate it if you were if you gave if you gave to someone as a gift for their birthday, you gave them an iPod with your speeches on it. | |
| Isn't that just the perfect gift? | |
| Wouldn't you like I mean, with Valentine's Day coming up, people talk about, you know, the candy and the flowers and the romantic candlelit dinner, but isn't it true that that your spouse would really just appreciate an iPod with you talking for hours and hours on end on it? | |
| Isn't that just the perfect gift for for someone special in your life? | |
| That's what President Obama uh gave Her Majesty the Queen. | |
| I would love to know where that IPOD is and whether the Queen in Buckingham Palace, like she's today she's celebrating sixty years on the throne, she thinks, Well, I really you know, I sure they could throw me a big dinner or whatever thing, but I really I'd like to just to spend a quiet night in listening to listening to that nice Barack Obama's speeches on that iPod he gave me. | |
| That would be the perfect way To celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of my accession to the throne. | |
| I'd love to know where that IPOD with the uh uh with uh Obama speeches on it. | |
| Is it like, you know, I don't I hesitate to raise this question. | |
| But you know how it is sometimes when you get a Christmas present you don't particularly want that. | |
| Someone gives you a Christmas present you don't particularly want, and you wait a couple of months and you got a birthday coming up for somebody and you think, well, maybe I can shuffle off that lousy Christmas present that I didn't really want on them. | |
| You know, you can what do they call it here? | |
| Regifting. | |
| Is that what they call it? | |
| Regifting. | |
| Uh maybe you could re-gift someone with that present you didn't really want. | |
| And I wonder sometimes if out there there's an obscure member of the royal family, uh I don't know, who her her Royal Highness, her Royal Highness uh the uh Duchess of Gloucester or the Earl of Ulster, one of these very minor members of the Royal Family, | |
| who on his birthday uh six months ago unwrapped the present from the Queen from his cousin or his great grandmother or whatever, and discovered that she'd re-gifted him with the iPod with Barack Obama's speeches on. | |
| But I would love to know where that uh that is. | |
| But but if you if you're Mike has just suggested that if she had a sense of humor, she'd give it to Hugo Chavez. | |
| That's true. | |
| That's true. | |
| I hope she does do that. | |
| I'd like to think she'd maybe give it to Basher Assad and he'd just fly into an even bigger age. | |
| Or she she'd give it to that guy Tad Tawi in Cairo, and he'd put even more Americans on trial. | |
| Anyway, who knows? | |
| I'd love to know where that iPod with the fully loaded with Barack Obama speeches in is uh because that uh that is the perfect gift. | |
| And if you're thinking, as I said, for for for Valentine's Day, for your loved one, for your loved one, don't go with the chocolates. | |
| Don't go with the bouquet of roses. | |
| Don't go with, you know, the candlelight dinner, the the lights down low, uh a bottle of wine, you know, Johnny Mathis on the hi-fi. | |
| They the chicks don't the chicks don't dig any of that stuff. | |
| What they want is a speech, uh an iPod fully loaded with Barack Obama speeches. | |
| You are gonna have a real hot night. | |
| If you give your loved one that, you're gonna need a Nancy Pelosi sized condom drawer just for all the action you're gonna be getting that night after giving your loved one the iPod fully loaded with Barack Obama speeches. | |
| So I would love to know where that is. | |
| If you're a Buckingham Palace footman and you're listening and you've got the inside scoop on where that thoughtful gift, the Barack Obama iPod is right now, give us a call. | |
| 1800-282-2882, Mark Stein Inforush on the EIB network. | |
| Mark Stein and Farush on the EIB network. | |
| Let's go to Monica in Iron Mountain, Michigan. | |
| I guess I'm not sure. | |
| My question is, since when is contraception help care? | |
| What disease does contraception protect you from? | |
| I mean, unless you consider a pregnancy to be a disease, which I guess some people do, it doesn't protect you from any disease or restore you to health. | |
| On the contrary, it takes a system that is working exactly like it's supposed to work, and it puts it in a state of dysfunction. | |
| You know, well, I think we have to ask ourselves, you know, first it's like health care is a right. | |
| Okay. | |
| Now contraception is a right. | |
| I mean, where is this you know, what other rights are we gonna have to pay for that are really people's lifestyle choices? | |
| Well, Nancy Pelosi would put it this way, when she was asked why she wanted hundreds of millions of dollars in the stimulus in nine two thousand and nine to go towards uh contraception, she said because freeing up all these people uh to instead of uh g them getting pregnant and having babies and being at home with the babies, uh instead they would be out in the workforce spending money stimulating the economy. | |
| So for her, it was an economic stimulus issue. | |
| It's the other way around, by the way, when they talk about free diapers for babies in Connecticut, where they where the governor uh has launched this he wants the federal government to pay for free diapers because it would enable more single women, in that case would enable more single women to enter the workforce. | |
| But you're right, this isn't this isn't a free condom is not uh anything to do with with a uh with a health care issue. | |
| It's a Saturday night out uh issue. | |
| And why should the idea that uh the brokest nation in history should somehow be requiring uh everybody uh employers to provide free condoms for their employees. | |
| Th in my in my book, Monica, this is the good example of the way they uh they think about it, I quote from the Washington Post uh a fellow who attends the University of the District of Columbia and he's complaining that the free condoms the University of the District of Columbia gives him are not good enough quality. | |
| Quote if people get what they don't want, they are just going to trash them, said T Squalls thirty, who attends the University of the District of Columbia. | |
| So why not spend a few extra dollars and get what people want, unquote. | |
| Mr T. Squalls, aged thirty, quoted in uh the Washington Post, a thirty year old man expects to receive uh free condoms. | |
| You're right, that isn't health care. | |
| What what on earth how d how did we get to a situation uh where it's expected that uh men in uh early middle age uh it should some somehow free condoms should be some kind of human right. | |
| This is insane, Monica. | |
| Anything else and that's why we're broke. | |
| We're gonna have to start prioritizing what things we want to give away and not. | |
| And you know I mean one side always talks about pro choice, pro choice. | |
| People have a choice is if you or if your employer uh uh offers a health plan you don't agree with you don't have to work for them. | |
| You can go work for somebody else. | |
| I just I really want to make my final point as far as I understand not everybody agrees that contraception is morally wrong, but I don't think really that's the issue. | |
| To me it's it's a lot deeper than that. | |
| This is about religious liberty. | |
| And um I think anybody who cares about religious liberty and religious freedoms should care about this issue. | |
| Yes, but you know, Monica that's that is the issue. | |
| But but uh you're s you're moving uh and the debate has moved from not from the question of whether you regard uh contraception as morally wrong that is something that is free for people to do. | |
| But the but the government now says it doesn't matter what you believe on that we have a one size fits all morality. | |
| And that means that you can be as Nancy Pelosi claims to be a devout Catholic but you have to hang your Catholicism on the hat stand before you leave the front door in the morning. | |
| Religious uh belief is something you keep to yourself uh you keep it in your house when you leave the door and uh go to your place of employment uh the secular religion dominates and if the secular religion says that condoms are a human right uh then uh you have to provide it to your employees and your employees have to uh avail themselves of it uh and regardless uh you can be a devout Catholic behind your front door furtively and secretly when you get back home in the evening. | |
| But but uh in the public sphere uh a universal government imposed morality takes place over that Monica and that's why they're not going to yield ground on this thing. | |
| The only thing about this Nancy Pelosi I will I will say is that I am very offended that she would presume to speak for all Catholics. | |
| But beyond that I'm not gonna comment because I vowed in twenty twelve I was going to try to be more charitable and so I just really don't want to say anything else about that. | |
| Oh well oh Monica I respect you for saying that Monica but you know you know what happened to uh to Newt in Iowa when he tried to stay positive at upbeat. | |
| Call us call us back in a couple of weeks uh work it out work it out work out a negative devastating go negative uh stomp a Nancy Pelosi into the ground attack on her and uh and call us back in a couple of weeks when you're on top of it and go negative on her because you know how uh g stag positive worked for Newt in Iowa. | |
| Thanks for your call great uh great to have you with us. | |
| Uh great to have you with us uh uh today uh today Monica uh Occupy Oakland. | |
| They're still out there, you know, these Occupy guys uh occupy Oakland protesters have called for us a so called day of action to start m today, Monday. | |
| So it's uh it may be going on even as we speak. | |
| I think it starts noon Pacific time, so just when we go off the air in about an hour's time here, uh uh Occupy Wall Occupy Oakland is going to have a so called day of action to protest police tactics uh used uh during earlier protests. | |
| Uh day day of action will be very novel for some of those guys. | |
| By the way, a um a a two people in Oakland uh were murdered by their foster child. | |
| And their bodies were found in the back of the family's PT cruiser. | |
| And it said, the coverage of the story in the San Francisco Chronicle said that the parents had argued with their foster child over him spending too much time in the Occupy Oakland encampment. | |
| Yes, great to be with you. | |

| Let's go to Mike in Incline Village Nevada scene of the Iowa caucuses. | |
| Actually I don't know if not the Iowa caucuses and the Nevada caucuses. | |
| I don't know whether they had one in Incline Village Nevada. | |
| Did you caucus on Saturday night Mike? | |
| Yes I did. | |
| We we had our caucuses on uh Saturday throughout the uh state uh starting around nine a m and most of them lasted till noon and uh they had a couple others down in Las Vegas later in the day that they had a real problem with accounting votes. | |
| So it was a real mess out here actually. | |
| Oh right and uh and and how did uh your neighborhood go in the uh Nevada caucus? | |
| Well that's actually what I called about um I saw something in the caucuses and I kind of saw this uh in from reading some of the other caucuses and I also picked it up in uh your first caller today Vinny is that there seems to be this uh euphoria among some of the voters now that they'd rather they want to get excited. | |
| They want to have a thrill up their lake leg in November when they go into the uh into the voting booth rather than voting on somebody that's got uh good ideas and uh a good clear direction. | |
| And I remember in 1980, there wasn't this sense of euphoria related to Reagan. | |
| People took a hardcore look at the fact that the country was in a mess. | |
| And there were some people who were kind of on the John Anderson side, who I'd put Newt Gingrich in the same class with John Anderson in terms of his loopiness. | |
| And in terms of Romney, we've got somebody, | |
| who's clearly a uh moderate at best yet people are are are um th they're giddy over him yeah well I think what I think what you're what you're talking about there, the idea of uh uh uh getting the tingly leg sensation is that a lot of people are uh kind of invested in in sort of attitude and they like it when when uh Newt comes out and he beats up John King of CNN well I mean big deal. | |
| I mean, who can't beat up John King of CNN? | |
| Kathie Lee Gifford could beat up John King. | |
| Marie Osmond could beat up John King. | |
| Why is that regarded as a spectacular achievement? | |
| I think it's because people like that sort of attitude. | |
| They want, they, for some reason, they're so frustrated by the last few years and where the United States is headed that they, that a bit of kind of swagger and attitude is important and they find Mitt too kind of even tempered in that regard Mike. | |
| We drove down and saw uh Rick Santorum speak uh a couple of days before the caucus and he m came across as a very serious, sincere um uh politician with uh ideas that were worth discussing um and it was uh it was refreshing to hear somebody who came across so uh so directly and in that was i in the caucuses getting back to your original question the the the there were several people there that said well I really like | |
| I like what Santorum has to say, but I like the attitude behind Gingrich, and I like the enthusiasm and the possibilities of Romney and how good he's going to look on television and in the debates and so forth. | |
| But the thing they seem to miss is that the debates are, by and large, are controlled by the establishment, and the media establishment and the political establishment is not going to do anything that's going to put Obama in any kind of a position where he's going to look look poorly. | |
| No, no that's that's that's that's true and they're they're not real debates and the idea that he'll be able to clobber Obama uh the way he walloped uh John King or Wolf Blitzer or any of them that's that's gonna be or Juan Williams that's gonna be a very different game. | |
| Thanks for your call, Mike. | |
| Let's go to Dawn who is somewhere in the great state of Oregon. | |
| I know not where, but uh it's an undisclosed location. | |
| Dawn it's great to have you with us on the show. | |
| Hi Mark. | |
| Welcome to Ameritopia. | |
| That's Mark Levin's great book. | |
| And very pertinent. | |
| Oh I haven't read it yet. | |
| I gotta get it. | |
| No, I I I apologize for Jeff. | |
| I want I really want you welcome you to America and move here. | |
| Be a citizen. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you, Dawn and I will come uh and sta if if I have my uh swearing in Cerebody I'll I'll try to schedule it in Oregon and you can uh come and help but I'll take the I'll take the oath of office uh on uh Obama's uh autobiography or whatever they're using for the Oath of Allegiance. | |
| Stay out of Clackamas County. | |
| You can't. | |
| It's such a red, red county. | |
| Or not red, but blue and regulated. | |
| I want to make a comment about, you know, this the government regulation on the on the Catholic church. | |
| Right. | |
| I wonder if they're uh how many what regulations do they have on some of the mosques are they can't are they supposed to give out condoms and birth control or anything? | |
| Well, it's interesting you mention that because there's been, according to a story I see, I think it's at National Journal, an explosion of anger from American Islam, from America's Islamic leaders. | |
| On Sunday, imams, this is yesterday, imams in at least 125 mosques had letters of protest read from their, oh no, this was Friday prayers, had letters of protest read from their, oh no, this was Friday prayers, had letters of protest read from their, oh no, this was Friday prayers. | |
| from their prayer rugs in Texas and four imams in Phoenix, Cincinnati, Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Lubbock, Texas warned of civil disobedience. | |
| We cannot, we will not comply with this unjust law, said Imam Hussein Alabin of uh Phoenix, according to National Journal. | |
| So already they're sounding tougher on this than the Catholic uh uh bishops are the Catholic bishops didn't threaten civil disobedience, Dawn. | |
| That's interesting. | |
| I never heard that one yet about their disobedience. | |
| Protest well you know you know the way this thing works, Dawn is that uh I'm I mentioned earlier that the the big government imposes these one size fits all uh solutions. | |
| You know these uh uh these these books that they have to promote gay marriage uh like Heather has two mommies. | |
| You know those kinds of books? | |
| Correct that they the the uh uh textbooks and they put them in schools and when uh when uptight Christian fundamentalists complain uh the school board says well tough if you object to uh Heather has two mommies being taught to your kindergartner or your first grader, tough that's just the way it is. | |
| You guys have got to get with the program. | |
| Just because you're a Christian doesn't mean that you you can opt out of this stuff. | |
| We're gonna teach it to him anyway. | |
| That's the way they said in Massachusetts that's the way they do it all over the country. | |
| And and it was uh interesting that in Bristol, England when this came up in the local grade school there, in a mostly Muslim part of Bristol, England, Heather has two mommies. | |
| When the Muslims complained, Heather has two mommies this was a law passed by the Tony Blair uh ministry that said you gotta teach the joys of gay marriage to your grade schoolers. | |
| Uh When the Muslims complain, they whisked it off the shelves and nothing flat at all. | |
| If it's a if it's a contest between Heather has two mommies and Heather has a uh uh a big bearded imam with four child brides and a cousin back in Pakistan that he's planning on marrying her off to, you bet on uh Heather has four Imams every time. | |
| That beats Heather has two mommies. | |
| Uh and you learn the sort of hierarchy of victim groups that the Muslims uh the the uh Christians tend to get this stuff shoved down their throats whether they want it or not. | |
| Uh the Muslims, for s some strange reason, whenever the Muslims uh raise a complaint about it, uh people think, Oh, okay, maybe we better pull it from the bookshelves or whatever. | |
| And when they bark, people move, huh? | |
| Yeah, and and uh and for and for fairly uh and for fairly obvious reasons of naked muscle. | |
| In other words, uh when people put on there was a play uh in New York a couple of years ago, Cor Corpus Christi by Terence McNally, Big Broadway play about a gay Jesus having gay sex with a gay Judas Iscariot. | |
| And there were Catholics standing uh the the cast came out the stage door and there were Catholics standing outside the theater with placards protesting. | |
| If they'd done a play about a gay Mohammed, uh there would have been an entirely more motivated crowd waiting outside the stage door, and that's why there aren't any plays about a gay Mohammed. | |
| So the best thing, Daud in this whole thing may be that in fact uh for th the the saviors of religious liberty in the United States may be these Imams in Lubbock and Phoenix and Cincinnati and Green Bay who are threatening uh civil disobedience over this new Obaba law. | |
| We'll see how that plays out. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you for your call, Dawn, and uh and thank you for your good wishes to me too. | |
| Thanks a lot, Mark Stein. | |
| In Farush on the EIB network, more to come. | |
| Mark Stein in Farush. | |
| I have no idea what that heavy breathing was in, but it uh maybe it's something to do with uh this story. | |
| This is by the way, why we need why we need more condoms and contraceptives out there. | |
| A woman who was a nineteen-year-old White House intern in nineteen sixty-three. | |
| In other words, this isn't that intern from the nineteen nineties, this is an intern from nineteen sixty-three, has written a new biography claiming she had an eighteen month sexual affair with President John F. Kennedy that began in the White House when she was still a virgin. | |
| Uh Mimi Olford, sixty-nine, a retired church administrator, writes that she was invited to swim with the president at the White House pool four days after the internship began and had sex with him that evening. | |
| Uh this was the bit that caught my eye. | |
| She claims that during one pool swim, Kennedy's friend, White House special assistant Dave Powers, sat on the side of the pool and cooled his bare feet in the water. | |
| She writes, The President swam over and whispered in my ear, Mr. Powers looks a little tense, he said. | |
| Would you take care of it? | |
| Mr. Powers looks a little tense. | |
| Would you take care of it? | |
| That's the Kennedy White House. | |
| He should have done that with the Cuban Missile Crisis. | |
| Uh you know, Comrade Khrushchev looks a little t tense. | |
| Uh would you swim over and take care of it, Mimi? | |
| Uh it would have been a whole lot uh a whole uh lot better, maybe for uh the way things turned out if he'd done that. | |
| Uh that's uh that's why we need all these uh more government condoms. | |
| I was interested when we were talking about the the uh Islamic objections that have been raised to the Obama mandatory condom dispenser. | |
| Uh I uh I noted that the various imams have now complained about it, and they're threatening civil disobedience, which which the Catholic bishops aren't aren't uh aren't doing. | |
| Uh at their prayer rugs uh from their prayer rugs at Friday prayers they read out all these letters of protest in at least a hundred and twenty-five mosques uh and they've warned of civil disobedience. | |
| I don't quite get actually what the objection to uh most forms of contraception are, because uh I was just looking at uh you know one of these ask the imam type websites, and uh the Islamic view on birth control and contraception is actually more generous than uh that of the Catholic Church. | |
| Uh the Hadith of Abu Dawood said, O Messenger of Allah, I have a slave woman and I engage in Azul with her, which I believe is uh the Arabic for Choitis interruptus. | |
| Uh I engage in Azul with her because I do not want her to get pregnant, but I want what men want. | |
| But the Jews say that Azul is a lesser form of insan infanticide. | |
| And the messenger of Allah, Mohammed replied, The Jews are lying. | |
| If Allah wants to create a child, you cannot prevent that. | |
| So as far as I understand, there is no specific prohibition on Muslims using the Obamacare, the exciting and lavish range of Obamacare contraceptions. | |
| But the but the uh but the Imams object to it, I think, because they don't want uh women, as far as I can uh uh read in between the lines here, they don't want women uh signing up for contraceptive services without getting the approval of the big bearded male in the household. | |
| So there are some interesting uh distinctions. | |
| This this, by the way, is why Obamacare is gonna be the world's greatest disaster. | |
| Uh because uh because this we now have a centralized government legislating the health care arrangements of three hundred and ten million people. | |
| And sometimes they're Nancy Pelosi, the devout cow the so-called devout Catholic, who says the problem with her fellow devout Catholics is that they're hung up on this conscience thing. | |
| And sometimes uh uh and sometimes uh they're people like uh they're uh the people like these big bearded imams who simply don't want it because they they don't want their women folk uh getting access to all kinds of stuff unless they're signing off on it. | |
| Uh but that we're looking at a colossal disaster, unknown to man. | |
| And what it really represents, uh I would say is uh the government uh nationalization of your body. | |
| In other words, Commissar Sibelius thinks she knows better than you what your body ought ought to have put in it, what your body ought to be putting itself in, uh, and uh and the health care arrangements that your body parts ought to be making. | |
| And that is why if it is not driven uh into the ground in the first act of an incoming president in January 2013, this thing will never be killed, uh, and it will drag us all down into an abyss way beyond Canadian, British, European health care, or any of those other socialized systems. | |
| Nobody's ever done it on this scale before. | |

| I meant to get to this uh just uh uh earlier in the day, but it is uh a fascinating uh thing. | |
| The portrayal of a young Asian woman in an ad being run by U.S. Senate candidate uh Pete Huxtra in Lansing, Michigan, uh, has brought charges of racial insensitivity. | |
| He basically has put a uh Chinese lady like a cooley in a rice paddy somewhere uh uh crowing about the way uh American debt is uh transferring all kinds of goodies over to the People's Republic of China. | |
| And it would seem to be it's like a fairly obvious parody of uh stereotypical Chinese people from uh I don't know, flower drumsong or whatever, for or or uh uh Fu Manchu or all the rest of it, but he's now being accused of uh of deliberate racism uh by his fellow Republicans. | |
| And uh I I am so fed up with this stuff. | |
| I mean, the the thing is now the the GOP consultant Nick Deloy has uh flat out scolded the Holland Republican, calling it appalling. | |
| Uh you don't even need the Democrats to cry racist now uh when when uh when uh Republican consultants and Republican advisers are preemptively uh shrieking racist at it. | |
| And uh these are serious times. | |
| We need to get over this uh this kind of stuff. | |
| I didn't think it was the greatest ad in the world. | |
| Uh but uh but the idea that just putting a a Chinese woman in uh in an obviously stereotypical thing in a rice field is somehow racist is absolutely ludicrous. |
