: to change or alter greatly and often with grotesque or humorous effect.
I don't find any humor in the shape changing character of extremist liberals running our country. Barack Obama's speech before the Congress 2 days ago had the conservatives in the house fuming. The press, still being in the tank for the Obama administration even after their bias was wholly exposed for all to see through the election cycle, are not explaining what you see when they showed you video of the president's speech. The backdrop of so many conservatives waiving white papers after Obama's grandiose proclaimation "My door is always open" was the story for the evening.
In the first weeks of Barack's presidency the Republicans were complaining they had no opportunity to meet with him. Finally, a big show was made of bringing them in for a discussion. During the first meeting, the Republicans were communicating their vision and ideas and Obama's reaction to their complaints and/or plans was, "I won." meaning he had the majority of both houses and the bully pulpit and he didn't have to concern himself with their opposition. "They should shut up and sit down." Since then, he gave one, maybe a second 'meeting' could be counted, but one other opportunity to the conservatives to speak their minds to him. So those white papers were all the proposals and ideas the conservatives have been trying to have considered for his health plan. The president lied to YOU the American public and once again, the fawning press have failed to do their jobs and inform you of what's going on. The effect is, you see conservatives looking partisaned and O looking gracious. His character and image is transmogrified in the press. The conservatives are not even who are keeping this health-care reform bill from passing. If O had the support of his own party, he wouldn't have to concern himself with the opposition. Its the (fiscally conservative) Blue Dog Democrats that are killing his plans for government control of health care compensation.
Now! Do you remember all the hoopla through the election cycle when the bloggers brought to light the fact of O's long association with the ACORN group and the ACORN group's reputation? Most of you bloggers and netsurfers probably do, but for the rest, the answer is probably 'NO.' because the press did not sufficiently cover it and actively obfuscated much of the story playing it down and finally only acting because the bloggers were shaming them with the detail and scandal the news agencies were avoiding. So, the voters did not hear much about ACORN unless they were more interested in politics than watching the evening news. The politically centered talk shows covered the issues of Barack's ties to terrorists, crooks, and ACORN but did so by bringing on balancing pundits which made the whole mess look just like another political 'he-said, she-said.' A few media exceptions openly stated how far they would go to ensure O was elected. Chris (thrilled leg) Matthews comes to mind.

Where did these scandalous stories break? Who found out Barack Obama's pastor for TWENTY YEARS was a racist promoting hatred of whites and the entire United States? Who told us about Barack Obama's ties to the home-grown terrorist Bill Ayers? Who put up video of ACORN/Black Panther thugs 'ensuring a fair election' by intimidation in front of a poll? Who bothered to dig up Barack Obama's entire history of ties to criminals, Islamists, (yes, the extremist variety that want to see the destruction of ALL liberty in the world) Communist haters of American capitalist society, and the rest of the laundry list? Who is now exposing the Czars Obama is empowering without Congressional oversight? Who is exposing the character and history of those czars?
Who did all that work to reveal the character and belief system of our current president? It wasn't ANY of the nightly news agencies. Even FOX was too busy trying to appear centrist. If your ideology is centralism, you're going to be drug around by the nose with the whims or 'control' of the favored extremists. So the voters either didn't care or didn't know and now we have a president with THE MOST extreme ideology of ANY sitting president since George Washington and he stands entirely against George Washington's principles. He doesn't really like free markets because he wants to take what belongs to the hard working and innovative producers and 'redistribute' their hard earned belongings to the 'disadvantaged.' Oh my bleeding heart!! And he's willing to use tactics HE TAUGHT to ACORN to get it done as demonstrated in his speech the other night and in the latest scandal from ACORN. This is another story that was broken by a blogger. (I have an idea, the papers should fire the liberal editors and reporters who've demonstrated no propensity for reporting real news and start replacing them with the 'unprofessional lout' bloggers from the blogosphere.)
Joe Wilson's outburst, calling Obama out saying, "You lie!" has landed JOE WILSON in hot water while Barack Obama was calling the conservatives liars and partisaned and politically motivated. Joe apologized? He should have stood up and finished the job of calling him out on his string of lies and slander using this political tactic of redirecting the criticism he so richly deserves. Weak, Joe Wilson and a shameful excuse for a representative of conservative values. Weak, Republicans for encouraging Joe to apologize. Weak, Dennis Prager for claiming Republicans lose respect because of Joe's outburst when he was answering the slander and lies of Barack Obama on the spot. You demonstrate why I don't want to be associated with Republicans any longer. You're weak and tepid passion for the job we send you there to do is pissing me off. That's why the Tea Parties are likely to produce a new political party which will truly split the conservatives in this country.
We can't afford to be weak in the face of evil and we can't be indecisive in the fight against evil, and we can't be leery of using the language and the facts and opportunities to name evil for what it is. Barack Obama hates America. I've seen proof. I've reported proof. Today, the mask fell off of ACORN but the media are complicit with evil and WILL NOT TELL YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH!!! Barack Obama may not be exposed for training ACORN employees to take every advantage possible, legal or not, (there's no video of it) but you have to know that O is also tied to many other criminals, tax cheats, and literal America haters that HIS character is revealed by ACORN"s behavior. He is the worst kind of Socialist. The kind that is willing to do ANYTHING to advance his cause for 'the greater good.' Socialism is pure evil in a ribbon and bow. It leads to the empowerment of tyrants, murderous dictators, and backwater despots. Socialism is a societal disease which saps the will of the individual to thrive and encourages them to rely on government for their welfare at every level.
Between the media's complicity with evil and the conservatives' tippy toeing through the politics, the American ethic and value system is being destroyed. Slanderers need to be sued. I want all of these conservative voluntary legal expert groups to go on the offensive. Start suing the ACLU for slandering good people, good companies, and our American heritage. Sue the government for funding these slandering partisan groups. Sue the government for funding controversial privately run programs like Planned Parenthood. Sue the government for over-riding the document that holds them accountable to 'We The People of these United States.' Sue the press for highlighting the worst of the best and the best of the worst to create a favor and disfavor in public opinion. Tie the ACLU's hands. Tie up their funding with defensive work. Sue the state run schools for revisited history of our great nation and her wondrous accomplishments. Start reading the blogs and acting on the best information available. We've been doing the job the press won't for a decade now.

Too many facts tell us otherwise. While it's true that any administration has had its problems, this one is corrupt through and through.
During one of the campaign's interviews O. said we should judge him by the people he associates with. Putting aside Wright and Ayers, if we look at his appointees in every facet of government, the unprecedented creation of over 32 czars, the groups he worked with in the past and continues to work with presently (ACORN, SEIU, Unions. And the list goes on) people with a modicum of honesty and half a brain cannot but conclude he is at least a liar, at worst purposely, actively pursuing the destruction of our country.
We don't need to be mind-reader to know his ideology. It comes through through the things he touts, his policies and the dismissal of those who raise questions he either doesn't answer or by ad homs.
Joe Wilson apologized to the prez [yuk] for his WELL-DESERVED outburst.He even apologized to the chamber and Pelosi when asked said "no disciplinary action would be taken." She lied! But then she lied about the CIA not being forthcoming. Obama has been lying about everything. He said they were not going to investigate the CIA. Lie! Everything he states about what this H.C. reform will accomplish or not, is a bald-face lie.
For once, I am glad someone got the guts to call it what it is: the emperor has no clothes!
Joe Wilson should NOT apologize to Congress. He should be reelected to his job, because he is not playing games.
The idiots, otoh, should make better use of their time and taxpayer money. Like, I don't know, investigate ACORN? Stop all funding to ACORN? Call for the President to stop abusing his post and appoint czars?
I can't wait for 2010!
I got irritated last night listening to stupid Geraldo whining about 'name-calling.' Wish Fox hadn't given a pulpit for his stupid propaganda.

AMEN, brother Bob! Me too! This is the problem with the Republican party as is (thanks Michael Steele), and why I refuse to support them anymore. Where are the strong conservatives that will stand on principle and not apologize for the truth?
