Is he a new black Robin Hood? Superhero Barack Obama has recently come out in favor of a new health care plan for the welfare state in the U.S. that will surely continue to mushroom under the watchful eye of the Pelosi – Reid lead Democratic Congress. Scott Ott takes aim on the presidential candidate’s cost neutral plan that sounds awfully like “take from the rich and give to the poor”. Nothing like promises of handouts to buy votes from the underprivileged. Hillary, come on, you can surely out do Barack! After all aren’t you an old hand at putting together Health Care Reform Plans under your hubby’s previous administration? Hillary!! Time to fight back!! You’re losing!
(Satire) — Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL, unveiled a universal health care plan yesterday, which would boost taxes on the rich to fund care for the poor and would mandate involuntary organ donations from healthy, wealthy Americans to their ailing, impoverished counterparts.
“Taking money from the wealthy to fund care for the rest of us is no real sacrifice,” said Sen. Obama. “The rich know how to make money and they’ll just go out and get some more. In Obama’s America, if the lower middle class suffers, the upper class should feel their pain. That’s the philosophy behind my health plan, and in fact, it is the ideology upon which this great Democrat party stands.”
Mr. Obama said that during his first term in the White House he would institute a lottery system for transferring the well-maintained lungs, kidneys, livers, spleens and “other giblets,” from well-to-do citizens to the bodies of “the people who need them, and in fact deserve them, the most by virtue of their inadequate income production.”
At the same time, Congress would establish the Obama Universal Care Health Initiative Endowment to fund development of artificial, mechanical organs that the federal government would then sell at a premium to the rich as replacement parts for the natural organs they gave to the poor.
The Illinois senator said his health care proposal is “revenue neutral” because once it’s implemented, “that will be the best gear to describe the pace of U.S. economic growth.” — [Hat Tip: as reported by satirist Scott Ott/ScrappleFace]

As the Congress ponders what to do over the immigration cunundrum, one astute cartoonist makes some minor modifications to the Tablet held by the Statue of Liberty. Perhaps soon to be termed the Statue of Amnesty and Deportation. Pick your poison…

The U.S. met with of all people, the Iranians, to discuss withdrawal terms from Iraq?? Does this administration really believe that the Iranians can be trusted with assisting in the democratization of Republic of Iraq?? What planet are they on? There must be something more to this story which will surface before the week is over. A warning to Iran? Perhaps they have worked out a deal? Iran gets Southern Iraq, Basra and the U.S. gets to unplug the centrifuges enriching uranium and go home? Fat chance…
It’s bad enough that the Bush Administration actually thinks talking with Iran is going to stop them from killing even more of our troops in Iraq. Worse still, these talks officially end our diplomatic isolation of Iran since 1979 when the Iranians took Americans hostage. But it is flat out obscene that the talks were held on Memorial Day. There are Americans at gravesides today mourning loved ones who were cut down by Iranian-backed militias… — [Hat Tip: C&F]

Behold… the modern day Neanderthals…
(Not Satire) This has to be by far one of the most disturbing videos we have seen yet coming out of Gaza. Picture your typical grade school play in your typical school auditorium. You and the other parents from your community attend to see your children (little girls in this case) on stage performing for their parents. Then click on the home video posted to the left from a source in Gaza found on You Tube and prepare to be both astonished and sickened. Watch carefully and you will even see one proud father adjusting the mock suicide belt on his daughter’s costume! Knives, weapons and mock blood on their hands while they celebrate the murder of presumably a hostage or other imagined enemy. Most likely Jewish or Christian.
What sort of depraved people take pleasure in brainwashing their children into accepting murder, hatred and suicide bombings as a noble mission in life? With this type of educational system in play in the Middle East, is there any doubt that countless Americans have their heads in the sand about the magnitude of this threat? How deep is the hatred for the Jewish people that these parents take pleasure in fantasizing their children growing up one day to murder and kill themselves in order to become suicide bombing “martyrs”? Look just how dysfunctional these people have become after generations of living in the Israeli – Palestine war zone.
One also has to wonder just how depraved their so called leaders are who condone this message in their schools? From an anthropological perspective I defy anyone to name another culture on this planet, past or present, that equally has such a low regard for the lives of their young regardless of how primitive that culture might be. Find me one which would surpass what we are seeing today in certain parts of the Middle East. Palestine in particular. You have to go back to the Aztecs and Mayans to come even remotely close in their bloody virgin sacrifices to their gods to be on par with this.

(Sacramento – Satire) — After three weeks of efforts by scientists to herd two wayward humpback whales out of the Sacramento River, a leading environmental group today announced that “whales are stupid beasts, but an excellent source of cheap, renewable fuel.”
“Most people marvel at the intelligence of these creatures,” said an unnamed spokesman for Greenpeace, “but frankly these morons strayed from the Pacific Ocean — a body of water that’s larger than all of the earth’s land masses combined. Even without the benefit of MapQuest, how do you miss the [expletive deleted] Pacific Ocean?”
The Greenpeace operation officially moved today from “rescue phase” to “harvest phase,” the source said, noting that whales are a “terrific source of oil that is cheap, renewable and can help wean us from dependence on unreliable Middle Eastern petroleum producers.”
Although whales are also renowned for their acute hearing, the Greenpeace spokesman scoffed: “One of these cetacean idiots got injured by a boat propeller. We’re supposed to believe they can hear a mate whispering sweet nothings from off the coast of Australia, but they don’t notice the roar of a diesel engine that’s about to hit them. I’d say their hearing is a bit overrated.”” — as reported by political satirist Scott Ott/ScrappleFace

Great photos of today’s events at the Vietnam Vets War Memorial in D.C. Taken by amateur photographers.
As usual, NO coverage from the illustrious Main Stream Media. After all, covering stories of everyday Americans supporting our troops is not politically correct and certainly not aligned with the anti-war message board rooms of the major networks want to project.
Perhaps it might have been more newsworthy for the MSM if Paris Hilton showed up with her skirt hiked up high over her head or if that fat slob of a carpet muncher, Rosie O’Donnell, made an entrance condemning what she terms our “terrorist troops” while former Vets are huddled together sharing memories of their lost brethren on this Memorial Day weekend. Were sure that would have been more of a photo op for CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS.
Every Memorial Day weekend on Sunday, Rolling Thunder, an organization of mostly Viet Nam veterans, comes into DC for their annual motorcycle ride from the Pentagon to the Vietnam Memorial. It’s an hours-long parade of thousands of participants from across the country to insure that America doesn’t forget the men and women who died for this country in that unpopular war.
This year it’s a little different – today they partnered with the newly-formed Gathering of Eagles, which has it’s roots in the internet. When Vietnam veterans felt that the Wall was threatened by anti-protesters back in March of this year, they hastily assembled an internet gathering point and made plans to protect that monument from being defaced. On March 17th, they gathered around the three Vietnam memorials and the Korean War Memorial and lined the protest to the Pentagon. Crowd estimates were about 20,000 pro-troops participants to about 4,000 anti-war protesters.
Traditionally, Rolling Thunder gathers to remember the Vietnam veterans, but this year, the day before their customary ride, they partnered with Gathering of Eagles to show their support for the next generation of warriors.

This is a small sampling of bikes some of which have awesome commemorative artwork of their rider’s experiences in Vietnam.
The bikers have arrived from thousands of miles from all over the U.S. to participate in the traditional display of remembrance for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the preservation of our constitutional freedoms that we love to both enjoy and exploit.
