Rep. Dingell: It’s taken a long time to ‘control the people’
american thinker ^ | 3/23/10 | Peter Barry Chowka

Posted on 03/23/2010 9:18:37 PM PDT by Nachum

Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), the Dean of the House of Representatives for being the longest serving member of the body (he was first elected in 1955, succeeding his father, Rep. John Dingell, Sr.), made an amazing admission during a live telephone interview with Detroit WJR News/Talk 760 radio talk show host Paul W. Smith on Smith's show Monday morning, March 22, 2010. The night before, Dingell had been a featured speaker at the Democrat Congressional leadership victory press conference after Obamacare passed the House.

In response to a question posed by Smith, Dingell said:

Let me remind you this [Americans allegedly dying because of lack of universal health care] has been going on for years. We are bringing it to a halt. The harsh fact of the matter is when you're going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.

That jerk off was my Congressman when I lived in Michigan in the late 70’s to the late 80’s.

We will probably see Doctors making house calls again. Could actually bring the Doctor profession back. Don’t know what the heck they have been doing in those Medical Clinics. They certainly did not Doctor me in those Clinics. Could not diagnose a common ailment as a young adult and even failed to give a proper leg cast as a teenager.

Robert Green Ingersoll - Indianapolis Speech (1876)

Every time a Democrat sees a greenback, it says to him,”I vanquished you.” Every time a Republican sees a greenback, it says, “You and I put down the Rebellion and saved the country.”

Nepotism right there, like the Daley Dynasty in Chicago.

Well he is right. The 1960s and 1970s were defined by violence and mass protests ala Bill Ayers, Lee Harvery Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan Kent State riots etc etc...esp by the young. Now there is only violence after a basketball championship. They have gotten us under control.

The Catholic bishop have handed over the entire Catholic hospital system to the same people who murdered Terri Schiavo. Obama has said that the one Senate vote he regrets THE MOST is voting to give Terri one final chance at life.

It’s not ObamaCare. It’s TerriSchiavoCare.

“we don’t need to create our own lame slogans, we use their own drivel to hang them instead”

My thoughts exactly. Their own words would destroy them if we bombard and don’t let up.

But I think it might have to be up to private citizens. To be fair, our guys can’t even expose a white dem’s own words without being accused of doing it because the president is a black man!

Luckily I have not had to see a Doctor since 1985 for anything besides one quick job physical. Don't think you could ever get me into a hospital on this planet. My dad dropped dead a few days out of a Veterans Hospital. Granted, he had a triple bypass, but he might have lived a few days longer without the operation. You really need to assume that we you have a grave condition like that, you need to assume the worse and not be given false hope. At least take the time to finalize your life. My old man never did.

Terri was murdered by a husband who’d already abandoned the marriage for another woman. He held no ties to her anymore and didn’t want to relinquish control (and assets) to her family.

If there had been a notorized document calling for pulling the plug, it’d be one thing. It was his word against everyone else and he had no compelling interest to support his wife.

Charlie Crist’s numbers are in the tank, hopefully, it remains there. Perhaps he is just starting to reap what he has sown.

You repeat what you sow, more than you sow, later than you sow.

“control 300 people”

Can’t count can he.

Not surprising.
