This book is an amazing wealth of mind-boggling information impeccably backed up by facts and sources. It reveals just exactly who is behind the scene pulling the puppet strings we call government. I’ve read it with hanging jaw and bulging eyes…I don’t consider myself naive, but never did I imagine the corruption runs so deep. I can’t recommend this book more highly…but it’s not for the faint of heart or those prone to burying their heads in the sand like an ostrich. I challenge any uninformed “liberal” to read Culture Of Corruption for an eye-opening reality check. You might be surprised who you blindly support.
Michelle Malkin’s writing style is superb and makes for an excellent read…her biting wit, sharp as a two-edged sword, supplies comic relief in what would otherwise be too much reality to sanely process. Michelle’s analysis of the Obama/Chicago political machine leaves no more to the imagination than do sun worshipers on a nudist beach. Culture of Corruption truly is a must-read bestseller.
Until next time…

I’ve seen Michelle on Fox news and I’m impressed with her. I just told Dear last night we should buy this book…
Ellen, I promise you, you won’t be sorry you bought it. It is truly enlightening.
Michelle Malkin is a pathological liar and, ironically, the same kind of “racial opportunist” that she accuses President Obama of being. This woman has a history of being a devout racist and she has devoted her life to attacking this president simply because he is blacks. Her book is based upon innuendo, post hoc fallacies, and guilt-by-association, which was the foundation of the failed McCain/Palin campaign.
Let’s discuss something important and add up the lies that have been perpetrated by the insurance industry and lunatics like Michelle Malkin who want to see the administration fail, even if it means hurting their own family. Most of her lies have targeted our senior citizens and their deepest fears.
1. Death Panels: This is so absurd, it barely even warrants a response. The ‘end of life’ counseling item was added to the House bill by a Republican (Grassley) and it is something which has already existed in previous health care legislation. It simply means that any meetings between a family and a doctor concerning important decisions, such as hospice care, would be covered. The only “death panels” we have now are the ones owned and operated by the private, for-profit insurance companies, which decide who will be covered and for what. Use the term or imply the idea of euthanasia and seniors will definitely get grouchy.
2. You don’t get eye care till you go blind: A curious claim by opponents of health care reform, since neither bill being considered mentions blindness, macular degeneration, or sight. Since the vast majority of people who suffer from macular degeneration are elderly white women, this claim has been an effective scare tactic.
3. Socialized medicine: This is a rather stupid claim which Malkin has been pushing, given that the government wouldn’t be taking over anything and that no plan currently being considered would put any doctors, nurses, technicians or therapists on the government payroll. Genuine socialized medicine precludes any private option, and that is obviously not the case with either of the reform bills. What we have right now is a form of corporate socialism, where a handful of insurance company executives make decisions about who will be denied coverage and how high premiums will go. Of course, Michelle Malkin thinks that is capitalism at its best.
4. “I don’t want the government messin’ with my Medicare!” An amazing complaint, considering that Medicare is administered by the federal government, and that most seniors are extremely happy with their coverage. Medicare is in financial trouble, not because of government mismanagement, but because of sky-rocketing medical costs. Unless those costs are brought under control, Medicare will go into the red, taxes will go up and the deficit will continue to explode. If Malkin was a genuine conservative, health care reform should be at the top of her “Things to Do” list. But she wants it defeated because it would be handing a political victory to a black president.
5. Rationing of medical care for the elderly: There is no such provision in either of the bills currently being considered. In fact, Medicare would remain untouched. Of course, reducing health care costs across the board would ensure that Medicare will avoid bankruptcy. This is yet another Malkin scare tactic that has zero basis in fact.
6. The public option will drive people away from private insurers, and take away our choices. Only if private insurers refuse to cut their operating costs and lower premiums. If they can’t compete with the public option, then they should go out of business. The whole notion that a profit motive should dictate the quality of our health care is absurd anyway. There are plenty of other industries, such as writing divisive books, where making money is good for business and good for the country. But Malkin ignores the fact that we’re talking about people’s lives here and the fact that millions of hard-working Americans are going bankrupt every year because they can’t afford decent medical coverage or any coverage at all because of a previous condition.
Like Michelle Malkin, most of the outspoken critics of health care reform are liars who are driven by anger that we have a black man sitting in the White House. The others are just misinformed people who have bought into the lies of the first group. As many commentators are saying now, this debate is no longer about health care reform. It’s about President Obama. That’s why we have Michelle Malkin blogs and morons carrying assault weapons to presidential events.
If you people actually believe that you have been “enlightened” by this person’s book, then I’d like to sell you some beachfront property in Nebraska.
Mr. Johnson, you’ve obviously not read Culture Of Corruption, and judging by the hostility expressed toward “most of the outspoken critics of health care reform” it is apparent you’ve had one sip too many of “the Kool-aid”.
Malkin’s book is, as I stated in my opening post, “impeccably backed up by facts and sources”. That is more than I can say for the criticism you offered about Malkin and “most of the outspoken critics of health care reform”. Culture Of Corruption covers far more ground than the proposed socialist health care the current Czar-infested regime is attempting to slide through our legislation. You really should read the book before you set out on another bombastic tirade.
(Mr. Johnson, I followed you to your blog…in spite of the fact you did not leave your URL so who you are is established and other readers can read for themselves the far left stance you take. I kind of feel like Malkin. Although I did not block your reply and as long as you behave yourself in a fashion suited for this family friendly, very conservative blog I will not disallow your opinion. I do wonder why you neglected to share your blog address if shared opinion is so important to you. Doing so is a perfect example of “progressive transparency”. 🙂 You really should apologize to Malkin.
Read the new Bill just out of Congress..there is nothing fringe about the REAPER CURVE..it will be a reality if this legislation passes. Congress and Obama must think we are all stupid and uninformed.
I do believe our leaders in general think we are dumb as sheep. Sadly many of us are. As long as many people feel “secure” and insulated from trouble they are fine. I can’t count the people I hear say they don’t watch the news or read the papers, because it scares them…good grief! Fear is a pretty good indicator that something is wrong! This regime scares the daylights out of me. If they weren’t in control most of them would be considered criminals…wait…many of them are, aren’t they?
The criminal influence didn’t work in NJ or VA elections today.
Let’s keep fighting the fight for liberty!
