The Current AMA is Not the AMA of the Past

Good comment at this post at Ace of Spades HQ which explains why the American Medical Association (AMA) bended over and grabbed their ankles for Obama’s craptacular Obamacare proposal recently:

Well I actually learned something new from Fox this morning while eating breakfast. They were discussing the obvious disconnect on why the AMA is jumping on the Obamacare train and supporting the “reform”.

First, they put a past AMA president on and discussed it with him. He opposed it for various reasons, most notably the lack of tort reform. He said that the current AMA was wrong on this bill.

Then they brought on one of their “lawyer-news babes” who said the current AMA is not the AMA of the past. She said that only 20% of doctors now belong to the AMA and that they are mostly students and interns. The “gist” of this is that the AMA is no longer a doctor organization.

So bottom line; we have been saying here that the AMA was “bought off” in some way or another. What has happened is that the real doctors have dropped out, the organization has become another liberal Democrap advocacy group like the AARP and they really don’t give a sh*t about the “doctors” they are supposed to represent.

I recently went off on an angry rant on an earlier comment thread at Ace of Spades HQ about just this issue of the AMA cowtowing to Obama. This helps explain my inquiries about the AMA, however it doesn’t alleviate my anger and frustration about the issue:

“Elmendorf doesn’t seem too intimidated by The Won. He seems like his integrity means something to him. How refreshing.”

I was just having this conversation with a friend last night. Someone smarter than me needs to explain how it is that we have, what, 535 Congressmen, 100 Senators and say 100 Executive branch minions, YET, 300+ Million American citizens — including hundreds of leaders in economics, energy, business, healthcare and law enforcement, among many other things — seem to just bend over and grab the ankles with regards to government officials, who have to be among the dumbest and most ignorant people in this nation on things that really matter (namely economics and business).

Why is that?

Why is it, for instance, that the AMA comes out criticizing Obamacare for the BS that it is, then has a meeting with Obama, and BINGOBANGO they flip — against all common sense and logic — to support the same BS they called out as BS the day before?

What the F*** is wrong with these people???

We are seeing the exact *opposite* of what happened under the Bush Administration. For the previous 8 years, everyone and their mother did nothing by blame Bush for every god forsaken thing on the planet, smeared him, lied about him, lied about and smeared every single one of his policies and even attacked him personally — nevermind if any of it was justified or not. Hell, Bush could have found the cure for cancer and the press and all the BDSers would spin it as a negative.

Now, though, we have the exact opposite. Not only are people praising Obama left and right, praising his policies and spinning everything left and right as positive, but they seem downright afraid of even criticizing him at all or calling him out on any anything at all.

The a-hole could say 2+2=5 on national television, then have the National Federation of Math Geniuses call him out on his stupidity, to which he would then invite them to the White House for a meeting, after which the National Federation of Math Geniuses would hold a press conference and say that, yes, indeed, Obama was right, 2+2 does in fact = 5.

Someone explain to me what the F*** people are so gawddamned afraid of about standing up to this racist, Marxist, incompetent piece of utter crap and his Marxist minions? The a-hole and his minions do NOT hold that much power.

There are 300 f***ing million of us Americans against less than 1000 of them. Why the f*** are people, especially those in positions of influence, afraid of challenging this fraud and taking him down???

My Kind of Woman

This is my kind of woman right here. If I believed that most women had this kind of attitude, I would put a lot more effort into making myself a better man worthy of a woman’s companionship. But, since I don’t believe “momma” is typical of most women, I don’t bother and just keep to myself.

Nevertheless, this is still nice to read, knowing there are such women who exist nowadays:

My guy and I only have a few rules:

1. Never drive drunk. I will leave him if he does. What has taken lots of time, love, and effort is worth more than getting behind the wheel drunk.

2. Don’t lie. If it makes me look fat, tell me. If I’m pissed, he’ll know it. Neither can cheat because we can’t lie.

3. Every decision we make must be made thinking that the other is standing right behind them.

4. Never complain about the other to anybody. Ever.

5. I always get the last piece of bacon. Just sayin’.

These rules cut out the bullsh*t. No, I won’t get my nails professionally done. Yes, he can sit on the couch in his underwear if the kids are in bed.

If you were to hear my guy and I talk, you would think we are two men shootin’ the sh*t over a few beers. We rag on each other all the time. We laugh a lot.

Like the other gals here, I hate hearing women rag on their men. Are they such p*ssies that they can’t say that sh*t directly to their man? Seriously. If they feel the need to bitch about their man, why the f*ck are they still with him?

A-f***ing-men to that.

Back in my pre-cynical days, I used to be that guy who would be there for girls/women when they needed someone to talk to about their relationships. Oh, I would listen to their worries and complaints and sweet-talk them and tell them it will be okay and talk them through their problems and almost always, they would come away from the conversation feeling so much better. Of course, if I had a dollar for every time I heard “*sigh* I wish my (significant other) was more like you”, I could retire. Finally, I got so sick of this BS — where the women/girls would come to me to talk about their relationship problems, feel better, then go back to their loser guys, only to get treated the same, then lather, rinse repeat — that I started taking the tact above: “If they feel the need to bitch about their man, why the f*ck are they still with them?” Well, funny thing… when I started being this bluntly honest with the girls/women, they stopped coming to me complaining and *I* became the bad guy for suggesting they dump their loser significant others. Funny, I thought females wanted honesty. Guess not…

This discussion originated from this article “5 Lies All Women Tell“.

And it’s crap like this that has caused me to become extremely cynical when it comes to women. Seriously, men get smeared as lying bastards all the time, yet women have to be some of the most shameless freaking liars on the planet.

Think about it, ask a woman what’s wrong and they will say “nothing, I’m fine”. Ask a woman to make a decision about something and she’ll pass the buck to the man, and then if the man’s decision is one which the woman does not like, she’ll bitch at him about it, even though she didn’t have the guts to come out and make the decision herself and, in fact, lied and said she was okay with the man making the decision. Ask a woman if she wants an honest man and she will say ‘yes, most definitely’, but then, of course, when she gets that honesty from a man about anything (her clothes, her hair, advice, etc), she throws a hissy fit and complains.

And then, of course, the most infamous lie that women tell — which is listed among the Top 5 in the article — is about sex. The whole ‘faking orgasms’ thing, which I have discussed previously. Women like to act all high and mighty and put down men for being morons when it comes to pleasing women — all the while proclaiming themselves perfect as they all seem to be the best in the world at giving fellatio to a man… I don’t think I have met a girl yet who has not told me that she would give me the best bj I’ve had in my life… EVAH! — yet, I’d like to know how the F*CK women expect men to learn what the F*CK to do, when all you do is LIE by faking your damn orgasms. Yeah, brilliant. Lie and make your man believe he is pleasing you, when he really is not, and then berate him later for being incompetent. Only a woman would think that was a logical way to teach men how to please them better. Geez…

Oh, and related to that, there is the ever popular berating of men as not being f***ing telepathic mind-readers. How many guys have gotten into trouble with women because their women will lie to them about how they are feeling, the men will have the audacity to take their women at their word, only later to get beat over the head as being too stupid to pick up on subtle little hints or not being able to read the woman’s mind to know she was upset?

Women have it great. They can lie to their hearts’ content and then blame men for being too stupid to see through the lies and understand the subtle hints and signs and not telepathic enough to read their minds and know how what they are thinking so as to react in the proper manner or say the proper thing.

And people constantly ask me why I stay single. Well, it’s mainly because I don’t care who the woman is, no one is worth putting up with that much bullsh*t game playing and mind-f*cking.

RELATED: If You Don’t Like What We Say, Then Stop Asking Us What We Think

A hearty A-F***ing-men to that too. Another one along those lines would be “Don’t really want an honest answer, then stop asking us what we think”.

I forgot to add one of the best movie lines ever, which applies very well for this topic:

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.
