Power Is Not Enough
Health and Human Services head honcho Kathleen Sebelius (who, aside from advancing the cause of socialism in the US, enjoys evading taxes and siphoning taxpayer money off to cronies) here achieves the remarkable feat of telling us all that we need to know about the Democratic view of government through a single physical movement.
That is, by demonstrating to the great unwashed how to cough “properly.”
Why is this so revealing, I hear you ask?
Because it is proof, once again, that Democrats think that we, the people, are entirely incompetent (ha!) and cannot figure out for ourselves how to do a single thing, even of the immense complexity of coughing. And there I was, thinking that it was an involuntary motion, much akin to breathing.
But, of course, the Democrats have figured out a new and improved way of doing it. So much for what I know.
Whether the intended audience was children or adults, it makes no difference. This is condescending, patronizing and paternalistic government of the worst kind, seeking to control everything that we do.
Must we now be taught how to cough?
Will there be a new category of non-jobs created solely for the inspection and approval of personal coughing techniques?
For those of us with a sense of history, this will be familiar, as ever. The MaObama administration is hardly the first to covet control of matters as large as the economy and as small as the way we cough (in addition to everything in-between).
Next thing we know, they’ll be ordaining a government-approved way in which we are to greet each other in the street.
Think I’m joking?

They will probably have a cough czar…
It’s a wonder that man has gotten as far as he has without the wisdom of the Democratic Socialist Party of good ol’ US of A. It’s kinda like antibacterial soap. We’ve gotten along without for centuries, but all of a sudden, germs are bad. Reeeaaallll bad.
Hey, Sebelius! (Doesn’t that name sound like a disease?) I got some germs for ya, riiiight here! Kiss my ass!

A cough czar! ROFL Skiri’ki!
This paternalistic b.s. is exactly what bothered me about the O speech to kiddies yesterday. Now we’re going to have to listen and learn from the great O tonight about how he will fix the terrible healthcare mess we stupid peons have gotten ourselves into. (Nevermind government’s role in it.)
This man hasn’t fixed ONE thing in his entire life!!!!!!!

cough czar – like it, skiri’ki.
SNK – but O thinks really hard about solving the world’s problems, and is that not nearly as good as actually doing so?

…we’re going to have to listen and learn from the great O tonight…
Not in my house. I can be confident that I can read about it tomorrow on any one of a number of my favorite sites (here included I’m sure). In the meantime, I’d rather watch my husband clip his toenails or listen to fingernails on a chalkboard than spend my valuable private time tuning into that mealy-mouthed America-hating empty suit.

..or, how about a “B.O. Czar”? Not “Barack Obama” but “Body Odor” — the way she’s sniffing her dress shields.

so true, have you read about his exploits as a community organizer in Chicago. He was a total failure on every one of his projects. He actually got fired (reduced)
