1 vs. 39

Hoyer wants to call last night's vote on Health care reform bipartisan.  Well,  here is the story of the one Republican who voted for it and the thirty-nine Democrats who voted against it.  If this is partisan vote,  it would seem that the Republicans who voted against the bill had more of a bipartisan showing than Hoyer would like to admit.  After all the Republicans were able to get thirty-eight more votes to agree with their point of view.   As a matter of fact to win the vote by only five tells Americans one thing:  the leadership in Congress is ignorant and arrogant.  Two characteristics that spell disaster for our country. 

To condense the 2,000 pages of legalize double-talk into terms that middle America can understand it only takes two words: More TAXES.  What the brilliant, using the term loosely here,  architects of this legislation refuse to understand is that Americans are not that easy to fool.     The Democrats refuse to tell the truth about what the bill actually details.  At one point Americans were promised that they can keep current insurance if you like it.  Now,  it's a definite move to making sure everyone get's onto the government's plan.  It will cut costs but yet we will cover more people.  In what universe does this math add up?  The leadership can never answer the question of where the money will come from to support this program.  They can't speak the truth because they know that no one wants to hear that they will ahve to pay more taxes.  Not to worry,  the government will be able to cut costs by deciding who will be eligible for treatments.   The old and the terminally ill will not have a voice.  They will be silenced.  Which will  result in a different, more horrifying  holocaust than Hitler's murderous plans.    For those who are dealing with elderly parents or handicapped children this is a nightmare.  

The whole debate about health care, according to Pelosi, is abortion.  Will abortion be covered in the health care reform bill?  Well for the sake of getting that one little Republican, that pesky  issue detail was taken out.  Oh, but wait!  There is already talk about putting that back into the bill, and Louisiana Representative Cao has just been made a bigger fool.   The health care is all about LIFE.  From beginning to end.  It's not only an issue about who is born or who isn't.  It is about whether they will allow couples the freedom to choose how many children they want or will there be a mandate to abort children when the government sees fit.  It is about  medical decisions that can either extend  life or end it prematurely because waiting lines for certain procedures are too long.  It is about care for the elderly who need medical care now more than they did when they were twenty.  This is by far, the biggest con game the Congress has ever played.  It is also the most dangerous.  Yet,  the sleeping giant is still kind of groggy from his nice long nap. 

It is said that the Senate will face a tough test to try to pass this debacle called health care reform.  That remains to be seen.  If this bill goes to a Senate Vote on a Saturday night at 2:00 am,  when no one is watching,  this will be the next step towards a government controlled society.   The story about the 1 v 39 is really about the American voice.   When Representatives,  220 of them to be exact,  defiantly, snub their noses at their constituents and vote for a bill that no one wants,  an alarm should be going off in every voter's mind.   If the Senate follows suit,  there will be no denying that the Democrats will have succeeded in turning this country down the road of no return.  America's glory days will be over.  The voice of the American public is snuffed out as quickly and easily as a candle.   It's no longer time to get angry, to scream at the powers that be in Washington or to even march up to Capital Hill to be seen.  The White House does not see, hear or care about the growing frustration among voters.  Their ultimate goal is to win it all!  Silently,  conservatives must work to undo the damage that this Administration has done.  Begin the recall of every single Representative that voted for this bill and begin to work on the Impeachment of  Obama.   If this action does not begin in earnest,  it may be  that 2010 it will be too late to reverse the course.

Healthcare Reform Period!

When talking about health issues and the quality of life it can be safely assumed that people do not like to  be threatened,  manipulated or forced into a corner.  Yet,  the Darling Democrats are doing just that this week to the American people.  We will have Healthcare Reform Period! No discussion.  No debates.  No doubts.  Americans will be threatened, manipulated and forced into liking a system that will drive up medical costs,  taxes and death rates.  Lovely thought isn't it? 
The national economy is going into the pits.  The American dollar is getting weaker by the day. Yet, what are our esteemed representatives doing?  Finding more ways to damage the country.  It is absolutely insane.   If there is a voice of opposition to the plan,  that by the way will include a public option by the time it heads back to the House, the White House pounces on the opposer to shut them up quickly and quietly.  No need to read between the lines here when the White House issued a statement against the Price Waterhouse report which documents how healthcare prices will rise dramatically if the Backus bill is put into action.  The statement is nothing short of a threat.  Act out against us again and you will be investigated.  Last time I checked,  in America it is legal to disagree or debate the issues with the government.  It is an American right.  Or have the Democrats secretly passed a bill that strips that freedom away for the citizens?  If  they can do it with the health care bill, who is to say that they couldn't do it with another bill? 
There is one question that the Democrats have failed to answer time and time again.  It is simply this:  WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM?   Could it be that they will all go into their special freezers, like Jefferson, and take out their cold cash that they stashed for a rainy day?  Could it be that they will follow some of the executives from the industries who have been bailed out and work for FREE FOR ONE YEAR?   They can't answer where the money is going to come from because it is obvious where they are going to have to go.  THE TAXPAYERS. THE MIDDLE CLASS.    If they admit that,  their plan is sunk.  Here's a news flash for all the thugs in Washington D.C.:  The plan is SUNK.   American aren't buying what you are selling.

Nine Months Makes A Whole World Of Difference

It's close to  nine months since Obama has taken office, and what a difference it has been since the Bush years.  They are so complete opposite that it seems like black and white, or night and day.  Unfortunately,  it would be considered racist to say black and white, perhaps even night and day is racist.  Who knows?  The rules for what is the wrong thing to say and do are ever changing with the liberals.   Let's face it, before the election it was considered a crime to mention Barry's middle name.  Now, school children are sing his praises:  Mm Mm Mm,  Barack Hussein Obama.  Catchy tune, huh?   Here is a count down of nine important ways that America has drastically changed since the election of Obama.  In light of recent trends that this column does not want to appear racist,  it is similar to comparing the differences between cats and dogs. 
First major change since Obama and his cronies took over is that the rhetoric in Washington is driving the country apart.  Never mind the fact that during the campaign,  the Obama camp stated on a daily basis that he is a uniter.  That their candidate would be the one to be able to cross the isle and get things done.   How would the man who consistently voted liberal on issue after issue going to be a uniter?   Easy.  They were counting on the fact that his loyal fans would not look at his record and take it  on faith that this man was a moderate.  It worked.  Most people who voted for Obama didn't even know that his running mate was Joe Biden.   So how were these people going to know that Obama was either "not present" or voted liberally when he was a Senator for Illinois?   
Secondly,  the office of the Presidency has been abused to boost the newly elected candidate's ego.  It is a disgrace that this man yucks it up on late night talk shows, while the country is literally falling apart.  The jobless rate is higher than it has been in twenty years,  bailout after bailout has not helped the industries get back on their feet and taxes are climbing higher.  Not to mention the fact that there is a war going on in Afghanistan,  Iran has been working on nuclear weapons,  and the UN is a forum for nut cases around the world to discuss their discomfort of long travel and Israel has got to be taken off the face of the earth.  Should the list continue?  No, for if the list were to continue it would be too depressing.  Mr. Obama has taken the office of the Presidency to a new low.  He's at rock star status and loves it!  Would it be too much for the American people to ask for  president who knows his place and to do his job?  There are already tons of rock stars and movie starlets that there is no need for one to be living in the White House. 
Third,  there were questions about ACORN before the election.  Now there are even more disturbing news of how deep the corruption runs.  The ties between the President and ACORN  can not be overlooked.  They are too tight.  If ACORN is involved in tax fraud, voter fraud,  and other questionable activities, wouldn't it be obvious to the then  candidate Obama that perhaps it is time to let go of the group because of the damage it may cost?   To be honest,  Barack probably didn't think he would get caught up in a scandal because the media has done a swell job in covering for him over the past two years.  Why break ties when there is a good chance that you won't be called on it?   There is no denying that Obama had to have known of all the corruption.  He was a lawyer for the group before going to the Senate. As a lawyer, he would be privy to the operation and practices of the organization.  How else could he defend them in court?  What is interesting to see is that the President has not come out himself to denounce the organization for  it's behavior.  
Fourth,  speaking of children and singing.   How many songs have there been made of Lincoln,  JFK or Bush?  Two?  One? 
How about, ZERO.  To contrast that to Obama,  the man has at least two songs written about and for him.  Where are these kids learning these new songs:  the schools.  The double standard that is here is astonishing.   Public schools will not allow children to pray to God or mention him, yet they can extol the virtues and wonders of our President.  What are these school districts thinking?  That this is a political payback to the man who asked for their help to get elected.  Parents should be outraged over this practice and demand that the children be taught math, science and english.  Politics has no place in the schools. 
Fifth,  National Day of Prayer has been overlooked this year.  Interesting that the same person who does not attend or give lip service to this annual event will make a public statement about the celebration of Ramadan.  For those who don't know,  this is a Muslim observance where the faithful pray, become closer to God and practice self-control.  The purpose for this statement was what exactly?  To give credibility to Obama's statement that America is a Muslim and Christian country?  To pacify the Muslims so that they see that America is "accepting" of their ways?  Could it be that Obama is a Muslim himself?   Looking back over the year, it does seem obvious that Barack was telling America exactly who he is .  He is not a religious person, either in Christianity or Muslim.  He belongs to the religion of what is the best for him,  If it helps his cause, he will pretend to be a Christian, a muslim or an atheist if need be.  Which ever way the winds blow, that is what he will become. 
Number six of how things  have changed so radically is that Barack seems to hate America.  The  only President to travel the world to apologize for America's "mistake".  There can be only reason why a man who hates America would run for the highest office in the land:  to make America  pay for the transgressions of the past.  Even as a candidate it seemed that Obama had a chip on his shoulder.  As if he were carrying  anger or a grudge for far too long.  Why else would the man stay in the Rev. Wright's church for twenty years?  He believes that the black man has suffered injustice at the hands of our Country.   As a side note, so does his wife.  If there is need of proof for this hypothesis, look no further than the Crowley/Gates incident earlier this  year.  White cop, black citizen, who happens to be friends with the Presdient, and the guilty one of the two is he white cop, in Obama's eyes. 
Coming closer to the end,  number seven is dedicated to how the world now loves America and worships from afar. NOT! 
When Chavez comes to the UN to praise his pal Barack,  there is something wrong.  When Gadhafi comes to the podium and exclaims that Obama is his "son",  it is time for a reexamination.  When Iran's Ahmadinejad gives his support to the current administration,  a hard look at oneself is way over due.  Liberals love to point out that America needs to be accepted all around the world.  Respect is much better than being liked or accepted.  It is highly doubtful that at this point that Obama has earned any "love" from the other countries.  In fact, it would be accurate to say that he is thought of as naive and inexperienced.  That's comforting to know when the world seems to be in deeper turmoil,  our President can be manipulated by the other leaders of the world.   
What is a war crime?  Obviously it is an action that should be tried in the American legal system, in order to grant those who have committed or intended to commit an act of violence against the United States the same rights as United States citizens.  Obama sees things with the spectrum of trial lawyer's lenses.  With the way the prisoners of war are treated in America, it is no wonder that more men and women would do whatever it took to get the US attention and get caught in order that they could live in comfort.  The meals at Gitmo were good,  the treatment is decent compared to other countries techniques.  With a little luck,  some prisoners might get a good enough lawyer who will advocate that if the US feels that it is too dangerous for their clients to come to the States, another location should be sought. For example, a paradise resort where the prisoners can play  in the surf and sun.   This is why there were and are more radicals who are seeking to plot out another 9/11 attack in America.  They are not afraid of the consequences.  This is he eighth way America is different. 
Finally,  the ninth difference is that Americans are more fed up then ever before.  This is the only silver lining of the past nine months.  From cap and trade, to healthcare reform to date night with the wife in New York,  All the little things are starting to add up to changes that Americans don't want.  Electricity bills do not need to go higher, they need to go lower.  Obama's plan raise the rates to save the environment.    Who cares about the workers who can't find jobs! It would be better if they just sat in the dark anyways.  Health care is a problem but it is not a disaster.  With Obama,  he is making it into a disaster to prove how bad it can become.  American's response is to keep government out of our lives.  What is truly remarkable is that Obama and his minions don't care what the voters want,  they will get government healthcare if it is accepted or not.  For date night with the wife,  well as sweet as it may seem,  it could have been done in Washington D.C.   The President should set the example for he rest of the country.  If we are all to have some "skin" in the game it would make sense that the President would save money by staying home and save the environment by not using so much fuel for the jet.   Obama's actions are in line with do as I say not as I do.  For an honorable man, actions must mirror his words.  That is the crystal clear  difference in this administration.  Honor and morality have left Washington. With a little hard work on the part of citizens across the United States, it may return again.  Hopefully it will be before it  is too late.

This is What Happens when Democrats are in charge!

For the love of Our country,  it is time that people wake up and smell the stink bomb that was detonated when Obama was elected and is now affecting every state in the Union.  Yes, even those 34 states whose unemployment rates has not gone over 10 percent. Regardless of what Larry Summers says,  there is no indication that the economy is turning around.  Spout all he want that the jobless rate always lags behind when going through a recession is a nice spin on an old lie.  However,  that is a discussion for later.  What really is the problem in America now are the citizens who are walking around saying that Obama is okay.  They like him, and well golly, shouldn't we just give him a chance?  When should we stop giving the Brother a chance and rally against what he is doing?  When the bank accounts are dried up?  When people are so poor that healthcare won't be a blessing, it will be a curse? When owning an "environmentally safe" car won't even matter because people can't fill the tanks anyways?  When taxes are higher and 90% of  the paychecks go to the government?  Well,  it's been nine months and Obama has unraveled most of the economy to the point that America no longer is the land of hopes and dreams.  It is more like heartache and despair.  He no longer deserves a chance.  He deserves to be impeached. 
Radical thinking?  Losing a grip on reality?  This is not the rants of a radical, mentally deranged person.  The proof that America  is under attack by our own Government is in Washington D.C.   Members of Obama's own party are greedily looking for ways to control the lives of every American citizens.  Take for example Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) who said last week that now is the time to control the types of cars people drive because,  "We own the automobile companies. Why not? I think that will be an easy one."  Harkin would like to see in the Cap and Trade bill a stipulation that all cars must be designed to use a blend of  85 percent ethanol fuel.   Terrific for the corn growers, however most Americans would like to see drilling our own oil.  Let's leave the corn to eating. 
The rush to pass healthcare reform  is another example of controlling the economy at the expense of the middle class.  By the admission of the Congressional Budget Office, funding Obama's  healthcare will raise costs and taxes to the average consumer.  That is to say, the middle class will feel the crunch in the way of  inflation and taxes.  The March on Washington did nothing to get his attention except that Obama flew over the protesters on his way to a gathering where he could give a speech to a more favorable audience.  Those in who stood outside on the Washington Mall were nothing to him.    It did get Maxine Waters to question who these people were.  The media now has their government mandated assignment: investigate those who came to the protest in Washington.  Then destroy them. 
This constant need to be in front of the cameras is a troublesome trend.   This week he will appear on five morning shows and David Letterman.   All this in order to gain the adoration of  America, as if by magic of television, people will be held in a trance by his glorious appearance.  They will fall to their knees and beg Obama to please punish them with his Healthcare.  If this is his mode of operation, it seems that his ideas are coming from the practices of tyrants.    It is a hopeful sign when his approval ratings begin to fall because it may be an indication that people are waking up.    However,  there is a difference between waking up and doing something.  Americans need to take action in order to defeat this President's leftist agenda. 
If that isn't enough, there are too many czars to keep track of and none of them have any accountability to the American people.  To date there are more czars than any previous presidents because just about every month or so a new czar position pops up.  Just to give a little flavor of what titles they hold, here are a few examples.  Border Czar, Energy/Climate Czar, Tarp Czar,  AID Czar, Domestic Violence czar and the list goes on from there.  Who are these people and how much do they make per year?  Half of these men and women have radical background that can raise a few eyebrows.  These are the people Obama chooses to surround himself with, and it is troublesome. 
As President, Obama's  duties are to protect, defend and represent the American people.  On each of  these items,  he has decided to do the opposite.  Destroy, attack and prosecute America and it's citizen.  To put it simply,  destroy the military and break promises to our allies.  (Poland and the Czech Republic got a rude awakening this week, while Russia gets a real nice present.)   Attack America as the awful world power who has played the awful role  in the  the Modern World of helping those who looked to our strength for help. (That's right,  the country that helped save Europe from Hitler is evil.  That is according to our new Commander in Chief.)  Which leads to the grandest of all Apology tour that has never been seen before and hopefully will never be seen again.   Finally, prosecute,  knock down anyone who dares to question this Administration's policies.  Don't like his healthcare plan,  you are a racist.  Don't think Obama should apologize for America's greatness,  you are a blinded by false patriotism.   Lastly,  if you openly speak to others about what this administration is doing,  you need to be silenced.  Cut down  the mode of communications, such as the Internet and Radio.  (Interesting note: In Hitler's Germany,  it was unlawful for any citizen to have a short wave radio in order to hear news from Allied forces.) 
Next week there will be another March on Washington, only this time it will be the embolden Muslims coming out in support of the new President.  If the President chooses to acknowledge this group with a warm welcome,  it will indeed be a telling sign that he does not care for those who do not believe as he does.  The embrace of Obama is for those who can help his cause, his vision.   When you can no longer help his cause, or were never useful to him to begin with,  you are expendable.   In this case we are deeply in trouble because in his own words,  America has never done anything for him.  It has simply been the agitator that has caused him grief.   America as it is now is expendable to him.  That is why "He will change it and rearrange it."

Tea Party Musing.

A quick observation of the left's unraveling over the tea party.  Why is it okay for the left to protest and not average, American taxpayers who are struggling to keep the country that they love?  When the Pink Brigade protested against the War,  they got to have their say.  When the 9/11 Truthers wanted to and still do, blame President Bush for the attacks on that fateful day,  they are allowed to have their say.  However,  grandmothers, stay at home moms,  conservatives and others must remain silent because the liberals do not agree with their views.  When did that become public norm? 
Yesterday,  at the Tea Party Express Rally in Troy, Michigan, there were Americans from every walk of life there to protest what can only be called the beginning of the end of American's Rights.  There were old, young,  white collar and blue collar workers standing together taking a stand against their government.  One could describe it as a community effort, or dare it be said out loud, a community organizing together to bring about positive change.  It may come to a surprise to the President, but he has inspired many  people to do what he has done for years,  protest and change the laws that do not benefit you or your community. The only difference here,  these people are not looking for the handouts.  Instead, these people are looking to smack the hand that are reaching into their pockets to take away their hard earned dollars.  
Whatever the President or Congress wants to call their plan,  Healthcare or Insurance Reform, it still comes out as another layer of government intruding on the private citizen.   There are no logical plans on  how the government is going to pay for this much less run the program.  It's a  knee jerk reaction to a small number of the populations who claim that they are victims of the health care industry.  The true victims of  the healthcare industry?  The Consumer.  For every person who walks into the Emergency room, demands treatment and  can not pay the bill , there is another patient who is walking out the emergency room with a bill  over thousands of dollars, and pays for it, either with aid for Health Insurance or a savings account. Both patients are treated,  yet one pays for both of them.   This is how hospitals cover the costs of taking care of patients.  Raise the prices hoping that one person can pay  in order to break even for the ones who can't.   Is it fair?  No, but taking care of patients takes a lot of money.   Someone has to pay for it. 
Where does this vicious circle end?  Common sense tells us that the only person who truly cares for our well being is ourselves and loved ones.  Insurance companies do not care about the health of their clients,  there is always the bottom line to be more concerned about.  If these companies do not create a profit, the shareholders will not longer invest in the company.  Does this make all Insurance companies bad?  No, they are providing a service.  It is after all a business that needs to turn a profit in order to stay afloat.   For those who are pro-Obamacare, it would be nice if they would consider one question.  If the Insurance companies have to worry about the bottom line, why wouldn't a government run system have to worry about the same bottom line?  The answer to that question is quite obvious.  They do have to worry about the bottom line, which logically indicates that they will use  tactics that the Health Insurance companies are being demonized for now.  What makes this worse, is once the Government seizes control over healthcare,  consumers will be forced to have it whether they want it or not, and there will be no recourse to demand better performance.  When a company like Blue Cross messes up,  a consumer has a right shop around to  another company.  This is called consumer options and control.   When the government messes up,  what options will the consumers have?  Simple, none.   
This all adds up to one dirty little secret that liberals don't want the rest of us to know.  The best way to control a group is by taking away their security.  Raising taxes on all fronts,  energy,  health,  food, and recreation, reduces the spending power and options that Americans have.  Once the populations can not afford any of these items,  they turn to help from the source that has all the money and power.  The Government.   The Cap and Trade, Healthcare and Bailouts are just the beginning of the biggest grab of control by our Government.  It's time for conservatives to start their own recycle and save the world program.   Let's recycle every representative and Senator, all the way up to the President, and start over.   This government needs to have the garbage thrown out.   It's time to return to traditional, conservative values that have never failed this country.  It's time to end the Obamination of our country.

Democrats Dependent on Polls?

Looking at the polls, it seems that American voters are not so thrilled with the liberals these days.  Perhaps it  is because the hope and change they were hoping for did not come to fruition.  It hasn't even been planted so to speak.  What are the Members of Congress going to do?  Will they look at the poll numbers diving and think that their course of actions should be put into reverse? Will they steam roll ahead, don't look back and laugh at their constituents?   The current trend seems to be the latter scenario.   It use to be common thought that liberals always looked to the polls to decide which way the wind is blowing.  That is just a simple assessment.  One must be willing to look deeper to get the real answers. 
The brilliancy of Obama's campaign was that he was able to be all things to all people.   He hardly ever nailed down an opinion in National security,  healthcare, global warming  or the economy.  When he did slip up, it was a round the clock effort from his campaign head quarters to spin it in positive way or completely ignore the goof. His continual attack on McCain was that he was Bush II and Obama was change.  Well, golly anyone with half a brain knew that.  Of course Obama was nothing like Bush but again, there was no way of knowing who he was because he was more teflon than Clinton.  Give credit where credit is due.  Clinton came up with the blue print of how to avoid nasty political scandals.  Obama took the blue print and expanded upon it.  Come up with cute, clever slogans that stick in the mind.  Then allow your "followers"  to fill in the blank on what you are all about.  It is risky for sure but with the combination of flowery rhetoric and feel good slogans, nothing will harm you.  Don't worry,  be happy.  Obama is here. 
Now that Obama is here,  and the Democrats dreams have been realized because they are in full control of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches.  They almost seem like giddy high school kids who have just been told Mom and Pops are going away on a trip and the house is all theirs! Hurry this is there chance to get all the things they ever wanted.  Max the credit cards up.  Have wild parties with all their friends.  Ignore the phone calls from concerned neighbors and relatives who are wondering what the heck is going on over there.  They will have their way until someone who is responsible comes along to spoil their fun.  Unfortunately,  the American taxpayers are footing the bill for this hog wild party and the responsible person to stop this in no where to be found.  Back to the idea that Democrats are driven by polls.  That is only true in certain cases. 
Democrats love to say that they are the party of the people.  The regular Joe down the block who works in the factory for the big guy and never gets a chance for a better life.  The old Democrats really were for the regular guy. Sadly, power corrupts and the beginning of the corruption of  the Democrats began with FDR.  Yes, the first holy man ever to hold office.  When a man is in power for as long as FDR was, there is no way to escape the taste of power.  As leader of the free world for almost 4 terms, he set about to change America to fit his agenda.  Social Security was the perfect way to begin enslaving the  masses to government dependency.  Why do you think every Democrat bows to the image and name of FDR?   Since that moment in history, Democrats have continued the mantra we will give our constituents everything they need.  From the womb to the tomb,  government will be there for you.  The polls become important to them when they are trying to get elected.  Interpret the data,  tell the folks what they want to hear and once in office do whatever you want.  Ask any of the Blue Dog Democrats who pretended to put up a fight against the healthcare reform and thus gave in.  Oh yes, they are fiscally conservative, but as they ring their hands in angst, they found that the best they could do is to strike a deal.   Please Madame Speaker,  allow me to dissent from this vote so that the people at home won't be mad at me.  What a way to stick up for the little guy.  
Polls don't matter to the Democrats when they have full control.  Just like the teen left at home,  Mom and Dad's wishes don't mean a thing when they have no one looking over their shoulders telling them what to do.  It is the cynical view that what American taxpayers want is not important to the current administration.  If it were, we would not be hearing about Tea Parties,  Town halls gone wild or poll numbers dropping ever so slightly.   The opposite would be true.   Hold on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride until November 2010,  Again,  with cynical views of current events,  one has to wonder if Americans will survive until that time.  The will of the American voters are being ignored and this country is being divided into two. 
So the smooth talking candidate is still pushing his agenda.  Encouraging his party to stand up against the opposition,  Dismissing any chance for real debate,  valid questions and honest answers. After all they have all the answers and they do not want anyone to be in the room who disagree.  They do not want to talk to the people.  They want to tell the people this is what we are doing,  this is what you will like and this is what you will take.  The changes in taxes,  healthcare,   and freedom of speech in a short amount of time is quite amazing.  It took FDR a few terms to dupe  Americans into the Social Security scam. Obama has duped Americans in the first 100 days of his presidency and promises more to come. American families will have less and are being told to be happy, to have no worries.  Obama and company are all about hope.  All about change.  All about their own hope of changing America into a country that is under their complete power.  America's hope is fading.  America's change is fatal.

Happy Birthday Barry!

Just brief note to wish a Happy Birthday to our president.  I would say best wishes, but your wishes will be the cause of my demise.  So here is what I am hoping that you don't get for your birthday.

1. Another Stimulus plan.  You already spent too much for this year and for that matter, for the next three years.  God help us if  you get elected a second term.  

2. No Date Night with the wife and playing around with Air Force One.  It is a work night after all, and the plane costs too much for just two people.  Even if it is the President and First Lady.  Try a smart car.  I'm sure you and the Mrs. will enjoy the togetherness.  

3. ObamaCare   Actually I do hope you get ObamaCare and the rest of America does not get it.  It only seems fitting that you should have what you are forcing on everyone else. 

4. Reading Material from Chavez.  You've already have too much influence from him.  Time to pick up something new.  By the way,  how did you like Pope Benedict's Book? 

5. Another Supreme Court Nomination.  Sotomayor will hopefully be your only contribution to the Supreme Court during your term.  I am sending vitamins and fruit baskets in you honor to the remaining Justices in hope that they will remain healthy and not retire in the next three years.  Again, God have mercy on us all if you get a second term. 

Enjoy your birthday Mr. President.  I know I won't because I'm worried about the taxes I will have to pay to afford your presidential goals.   

P.S.  Are you still looking for your birth certificate?  Maybe you weren't even born on this day.  I'd double check that if I were you.  Anyways,  have a good day.

What We Know and What We Should Remember in November

The political waters are heating up and soon it will come to a boil.  It is  heartening to see that many of the Tea Party organizations and regular citizens are taking notice at what is going on in Washington.  Recent Townhall meetings for some Representatives have not been very friendly.  It is nice for a change to see the Senators and Representative squirm  a bit when facing their own constituents.  Let this be the first lesson of beating the liberal agenda.   Demanding accountability from Senators and Congressmen is not only our constitutional right, it is morally sound.  The pressure must continue until Washington actually remembers that they are a Representative government not Royalty.
The American voter has now become armed with the facts.  This is no small task.  Finding information on healthcare, cap and tax, card check legislation and the entire list of socialize programs this Administration is pushing is time consuming.  Most people have full time jobs and a family.  However,  due to the fact that the current administration is behaving like children let loose in the mall,  the voters have had to step in and find out what's been charged onto the Nation's debt.  Ultimately, it will be the voters who will be held responsible for payment of this bill.   How many Americans want to be working well into their nineties just to survive? We might just be better off dead.   The towel shouldn't be thrown in just yet,  the best defense is offense.   It's time to take it to Washington. 
We know that many representatives and senators have been in Washington way too long.  They have been feeding off the public funds without regard to how much this is costing Americans.  Basically, many of them have been just been showing up to sign a bill or two, quickly heading off to their next free lunch or dinner.  Some of them even get free vacations due to the generosity of wealthy supporters who want to buy their votes.  One such Representative  that comes to mind is the infamous Representative John Conyers.  In Michigan, this name is synonymous with corruption.  Ask his wife,  Monica Conyers who was found guilty of accepting a bribe while sitting on the Detroit City Council.  Of course, her husband John has no idea what the Mrs. was doing back home.  Leaving that aside,  Mr. Conyers is so lazy that he can not read a bill that  he will sign on to which will  become law.    Not only that, the man is not that intelligent either.  Two lawyers will have to help him shift through the language of the legislation in two days.  Questions for Mr. Conyers: What is the hurry?  If you need two lawyers to explain it all,  shouldn't that throw up a red flag? Have you been in Washington too long that you no longer feel a duty to do your job?  What should be remembered in November 2010,   find a replacement for the congressmen and Senators who have lived off the public dole for too long.  Send them home for good. 
We know that Stimulus one did not work at the cost of $747 billion dollars.  Stimulus two is not working either, yet the federal government keeps growing.  How does that happen?  It's a game of spending money faster than you can print it, which makes for a financial mess that a fourth grader can understand.  When pressed to answer questions on how the administration plans to pay for the wonderful  programs that America needs now, the answer always is tax the wealthy. What happens when the wealthy either get tired of being taxed or becomes broke because they can't create an income to sustain all the taxes? Who are the wealthy exactly?  Is it the figure heads in Washington who make over 170, 000 per year?  If taxing the rich were the simple and patriotic solution to this,  why is it that Representatives and Senators do not donate their salaries to pay for the tax hikes?  We know that raising taxes, especially during a financial crisis, is not the answer.  Cutting them is.  If Americans are going to have to learn to live without certain luxuries, perhaps Washington should follow suit. What should be remembered in November 2010 is that  it's time to be patriotic, it's time to cut the spending. 
We know the signs of socialism, marxism and communism.  This ultimate goal of the Obama administration is total control of the United States.  From the cars that are bought,  to the food that is consumed, to the doctor that will prescribe a pain killer or pacemaker.  This is the America they envision.  It is indisputable that this is what they desire because it is shown in their arrogant actions.  Liberals have been chomping at the bits for an opportunity like this.  Ask Representative Maxine Waters, she will tell you what this liberal and all liberals are all about.  Socialism.   It seems as if the stars are in line and away they go.  Spending, legislating, spending, taxing and spending some more.  In the end they will have shown the American public exactly what their lives need.  More government.  What should be remembered in November 2010 is freedom is not cheap.  Bigger government equals less freedom and more taxes.  
The Blue Dogs Democrats have caved in on Healthcare Reform and it is more than likely they will cave on other big issues.  The obstacle of beating this administration is huge.  Don't be discouraged.  November 2010 is a long way off and in that time the Democrats can do much damage.  Unless, the American people continue to stand up against them.  If congressmen and Senators refuse to listen to their constituents, then it is time for a recall.  If   President Obama wants to force his plan on the American public, it's time for impeachment hearings.  If our Forefathers could beat the Brits,  there is no excuse for us not to win against this regime of tyranny.   If the Liberals thought that everyone would just roll over and play dead while they pushed their agenda, they were wrong  The fight has just begun. Let's not wait until November 2010... the fight for our liberties begin in August 2009.

Seven Signs That The Liberals Don't Care and Are Not Listening

If there is any doubt that the democrats are not listening to their constituents, there is no need to look any further than the headlines in papers.  President Obama has an agenda and by hook or crook, he's going to  get it passed.  It does not matter that the voters do not want his agenda,  the President and his party, will ram it through anyways.  The Little People will have to take it and be grateful for their supreme leader.  The voices are getting louder in the United States.  These voices asking questions and demanding answers.  Truthful answers.   Unfortunately,  Washington liberals don't care and are not listening.  
Seven signs of the liberals refusal to listen to voters are easy enough to spot.  They are everywhere and they are not buried deep.    The proof is the action and reaction to the public.  As the voters are starting to ask more questions about Healthcare reform,  the liberal elitists are looking shell shocked.  For them it is hard to believe that anyone would question their wisdom or intentions.  This is the opportunity that they have been waiting for and yet,  the voters are not going along with their plan.  Behind closed doors, they  scheme, draft legislation and pat themselves on the back.  A person's health is a very personal matter.  It is a matter of life and death.   Regardless of how voters feel about healthcare,  the President, the Senate and Congress are looking for ways to ram legislation through that would not only ruin healthcare in America, but would take away privacy, freedom and  health from every single American. Why is the government getting involved in the most personal aspects of  a person's life? The answer is obvious,  it's all about control. 
This was to be the transparent government.  This was to be the time that all doors were open  and Americans could finally see what is truly going on in the day to day activities in Washington.  In recent memory,  there does not seem to be so many doors slammed shut in Washington.  Secret deals, exclusion of Republicans, and amendments to bills passing in the middle of the night does not seem like a Republic government.  it is more akin to communism, marxist and socialism all wrapped into one neat package. The irony to all of this is that terrorists knew more about legal wiring tapping during the Bush Administration then Americans know about what is in the Cap and Trade Bill and Healthcare reform combined. 
The liberals are much to busy to worry about financial matters.  My goodness,  their plate is overflowing with pet projects which have not been dealt with in the past eight years.  Ask the average citizen what is more important to them having a job or the environment?  Common sense answer would be having a job.   The liberal answer, is saving the planet, of course.   Here is the case again,  where the government liberals steps into every home in America to make sure they have energy efficient lights. Carbon foot prints is just another way of describing humans as the monsters who destroyed earth.  It has gotten so ridiculous that one has to ask how long will be before we are all living in an Amish Paradise?  
Perhaps it would be better for the liberals to think of other things besides the financial mess.  Whenever they do think of solutions for the economy,  the first words out of their mouths are TAX.   Taxes are a punishment on achievement, period.  Not all voters can be fooled that taxes raised on the rich will only effect the wealthy.  The ugly truth behind that lie is that when the "rich" are taxed, they stop contributing to the economy.  The economy becomes stagnant.  Without the wealthy buying,  investing, and  creating jobs,  everyone suffers.  In particular,  those whose income fall below the poverty line.  The principal idea behind the Tea Party Movement is  that voters are tired of being taxed at every turn.  Every new program equals a new tax.   Speaker Pelosi's response to the Tea Parties is that it is "astroturf."   Her comments represent what many liberals in congress believe.  Again, they just don't listen. 
Liberals love to talk about poll numbers.   Polls are the very life that pulses through their vein.  Or at least it was during the Bush Administration.  Countless times Liberals in congress and in the media would point to the polls as if they were signs from above that he end of times were near because of President Bush's policies.  At this point,  Obama's job approval rating is below 50%, yet the liberals do not seem to be at all concerned.  This is a minor bump in the road for them.  As soon as the Average Joe gets on board with the social agenda, everything will be smooth sailing again.  Or will it?    Obama promised everything and nothing in the same breath during his presidential campaign.   The President is now finding that pretending to be a moderate while holding very liberal views will backfire on him.  Voters who liked Obama in November, still like him but are scratching their heads wondering where is  that moderate candidate that they voted for?  They have been lied too.  No one likes to be mislead. 
Sorry seem to be the hardest word to express.  Except for when liberals want to apologize for the countless mistakes that America has made. Yet,  it takes Eastern European countries to remind our President and liberals of what it means to be a trusted ally.  In the matters of foreign policy the current administration has decided to walk away from arms agreement to protect the allies who need it most and kowtow to dictators who would like nothing more than to see America knocked out as a super power.  Liberals don't get the concept that to be strong militarily means that America can defend itself.  One other crucial piece of evidence that the liberals don't get America's greatness,  they refuse to see the good that America has done all over the world.  From helping Europe remain free to sending supplies and equipments to areas struck by natural disasters, America has a proud history of being there when called upon.  Why is the President apologizing for America?   
 At this time in American History, they have complete power in government, yet they complain that the opposition is killing their agenda.  What to do with the nasty conservative talk shows?   Silence their voices with legislation that would discourage radio stations owners from airing these programs.   Monitor and block the internet of bloggers who express opinions different from the liberal view.  The First Amendment gives every human being the right to speech.  No matter how stealth like the Administration moves on this,  there will be no way to calm the fears of the rest of Americans.  By silencing one portion of the American public,  it allows the government to take one more step towards stripping basic rights from its citizen.  It is squashing freedom at it's core.   Americans won't allow it and should not allow it to happen.  Liberals just don't get it.  The only one who are in love with listening to their rants are themselves.  
Liberals are now finding that they are not as loved, popular and adored as they are in their own minds.  The problem with liberalism is that is is by it's own nature,  arrogant,  snobbish and self-serving.   They know better, are better and deserve better.  Well at least that is how they perceive the world.  If Americans every thought that a four year old could do a better job in congress than some elected officials.  Well, this is what a four year old would do in congress.  They will do whatever they want,  and not listen to a single soul about the effects it is reeking on everyone else.  Who cares?  As long as they are happy, nothing else seems to matter to them.

Why the Democrats Want Government Run Healthcare So Badly?

The Healthcare debate has gone on for over twenty-five years, if not longer. There have been ideas tossed about between the two parties, but nothing seems to satisfy either side.   If a foreigner were to listen to Liberal Democrats the picture of healthcare in America  would be that the medicine is awful and expensive,  doctors are crooks and people are dying due to improper medical treatment.  Especially the poor folks.  It's a know fact that when they arrive at the emergency room,  they are turned away as soon as it is discovered they don't have insurance, right?  Wrong.  However, in the liberal world this is how healthcare is perceived.  One huge industry that is in desperate need of a government takeover.  
Flipping over to the other viewpoint, we find an entirely different approach to the problem.  Conservatives have always believed that healthcare should be about the patient's dignity and privacy.  No one should be given the authority to determine what is best for the  patient.  That is a conversation between the doctor and patient.  As for the cost,  it can not be denied that the costs has escalated.  The conservative route is to find out why they have escalated and ask the industry leaders to look for common sense approach to fixing the problem.  Government price control and medical coverage is not the answer.  Medicaid is an example of how efficient the government healthcare can become.  The conservative approach has always been let the patient be in control of their own healthcare.  In the conservative eyes, this is one huge industry that should be corrected by free market ideas. 
Why is healthcare so important to the Democrats?  This is the main platform that the current president ran on.  He wants nationalized healthcare and he wanted it yesterday.  By his own admission to his party he stated, "You are going to destroy my Presidency."  The honeymoon is over for the President and he is finding that all his ideas are not going to get a green light pass.  Charming the crowds will only get you so far.  This just may be the issue that reminds him that his is not King.  Policies are not changed just because he decrees them.  What this really reveals is that he hasn't got a clue that the American voter does not want this reform.  The poll number clearly states, disapproval for the President's handling of the healthcare is at 49 percent.  The support is slipping.  
Healthcare is another way of  spending and taxing at a higher rate.   According to research conducted by the Heritage Foundation, $2.4  trillion dollars is spent on healthcare in the United States.  The government alone is responsible for almost one-half of the money spent on health care.  In order to pay the doctor's bill, what is the best way to take care of the government dilemma?  Control the industry with draconian measures which include taxing the middle class to pay for universal coverage, control the costs of  medicine, as well as doctor's salaries,  and create a governing board which will determine who will receive treatment and who won't.  This is how nationalized healthcare works.  Ask any citizen in Canada, Britain or France. 
The President has consistently lied about how his healthcare plan will work.  The idea that people will be able to keep their insurance if  they like it is ludicrous because this plan basically gets rid of private insurance.  Private insurance will no longer be available due to the fact that the government will have forced them out of business.  Employers looking to cut costs will opt for their employees to join the government's plan.  Employees will have no say in the matter.  Ask any member of congress or their staff, would they want Obamacare?  The average salary of a congress person is $174,000 per year.  Along with that salary comes benefits which includes 12 different private health insurance to choose from.  It is an assumption that our leaders will not be choosing a system where if you are young with a heart problem you may  have pacemaker to extend your life or if you are too old,  pain medication will be your treatment.  Why stop there?  Obamacare would be cheaper still if they administered it in the fashion of Russian Roulette. 
Another interesting note to this is Democrats are fixing healthcare behind closed doors.  They do not want the public to see what the true agenda is and how it will be implemented.  The quicker they push this through the better.  An ignorant public is easier to deal with than one who knows the facts.  Credit should be given to the Blue Dog Democrats and Republicans who are coming out and speaking up about the Democrats plan.   At the same time,  citizens should not sit idly by and hope that their representatives do what is best.  The pressure should be on Obama, Pelosi, and Reed to let them know that this is NOT what Americans want or need.  Write to them, email them, or call them.  Pester them until the message can be not be misunderstood.  NO GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE, PERIOD. 
The healthcare  problem has been brewing for a long time.  It can not be fixed over night and certainly won't be fixed just because the Democrats quickly pushed it through congress.  There should be open debate from both sides of the isle and the voice of the American people should be heard. If the President's presidential future is in jeopardy, that is his own undoing.  Since coming into office, he has continuously brought chaos to America.  His economic policy is failing.  His foreign policy is non-existent but he does show a tendency to support dictators.  His domestic agenda seems to be on destroying America from the inside out.  This is where the line in the sand should be drawn.  His agenda stops here.  It's time for him to listen to his boss:  The American People.

Obama's Healthcare -- Americans Don't Need This Kind Of Leadership!


From hope and change to heartache and chaos.  That is what Americans are witnessing now with the Obama administration.  There is no doubt that Obama is looking to put positive spins on the economic outlook.  Recent data shows that the stimulus plan is not working,  Cap and Trade will raises taxes and strip away more freedom,  healthcare is more akin to death care and the jobless rate is soaring past 10 percent in sixteen states.  How long will it be before the other thirty-four states see those same numbers. Vice-President Biden can gloat all he wants about how well the economy is, but when he asked his audience  at J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College in Henrico to look around and see the progress of the stimulus package and the economy.   It is just too pathetic to see this man promote this propaganda.  The media did nothing to test him on his statements.   Mr. Vice-President, just a week or two ago, you comment that your Administration had underestimated how bad the economy was, yet know everything is rosy.  What has changed?  How could Obama believe that that the resident big mouth should go out to pump the economy, when everyone in America sees him as a goof ball.  

Sticking to the policies that the Obama administration is so sure that America’s needs,  let’s ask why everything has to be done right now?  What is the hurry?  Unfortunately for the President, many voters are starting to wake up and smell the coffee.  Obama and his minions either don’t have a clue what they are doing or they know what they wanted to accomplish, but they didn’t count on people to be smart enough to pay attention. As odd as this may seem to say,  we should hope it is the second scenario not the first.  If it is the first scenario, then the country is really doomed due to incompetence.  As comedian Ron White would say “You can’t fix stupid.”  It is astounding to say the least, that a the moment when our country is going through a financial crisis, this Administration seeks for ways to spend more money.  All of his policies add to the overwhelming debt.  However, if it is the second scenario, then there is hope for the American people to turn things around. The Administration may be willing to kill off the American dream to gain socialism but they didn't count on so many Americans to stand up against radical changes in our country.  The voice of  the American people has always been more powerful than the politicians.  The voices for freedom has always been more powerful than any government. 

The important battle right now is healthcare and it  is far from over.  Obama has gambled his presidency on this issue.   The spin out there is Obama is not doing this for him,  he is doing it for the American people.  Right! Explain why   polls are starting to show that 49% are opposed to his ideas and 45% approve.  That is math that can not be ignored. The average citizen understands that Healthcare is all about Obama.  Pelosi and gang will have much to do to turn things around.  It is not an impossible task, unless the American citizens block the Democrats efforts. 

Which leads to the all important question,  do Americans need healthcare reform?  According to the President Americans not only need it but are looking for leadership on the issue.  Leadership does not mean taking a problem and turning it on its ear.  When a car needs to be fixed,  is it practical to take it  apart to make a totally different car?  This is exactly what the Democrat Leadership wants to do and yet it is not necessary to go this far when fixing healthcare.  The main concern for healthcare is how to lower costs and still provide the best care possible to patients. Keeping in mind the dignity of the human being.  The best solutions to this problem will not come out of Washington.  It can and should come from the industry.  Doctors, pharmacists, nurses and insurers can all wrk together to find the solutions that will bring costs down.  At this point, it doesn’t seem as though the Obama administration wants to hear from the Healthcare industry or the voters.  Maybe now that they have extended the deadline of when healthcare will be passed, their ears will be open.  For America’s sake, let’s hope so.

What's Wrong With Conservative and Liberal Thinking On Healthcare.

Everyone is talking about the healthcare issue these days because Obama is once again on the path of destruction in America.  He has taken over banking, the car industry, the credit cards and now before it is too late and the American people wake up, he's ramming healthcare faster than a speeding bullet.  I agree with some of the talk from the right about what Obama's plan is going to do to the nation's healthcare system.  However, we are missing a  key issue.   The patient should be in control of their own health and payment of their healthcare.   Employers should have no business in the patient's care,   government certainly has no rights to the patient's medical care and insurance companies should not be involved either. What's wrong with both Conservative and Liberal thinking on healthcare?  They have the belief that insurance companies are the answer to the healthcare problem.  Hint:  Wrong. It's the patient who holds the answer. 
Bill Frist mentioned on Bennett's Morning In America, that the first thing businesses are going to do when the National Healthcare comes around is that they will force their employees to go on the government's plan because in the business' point of view it will be cheaper and not cut into  profits.   Yes, that will happen to those who are getting their healthcare from their  employers However, some  employers are already forgoing giving employees healthcare benefits.   In fact, many of the companies are now cutting healthcare costs by  passing some of the expense to the employees.  In fact,  more industries, including governments, are  hiring part-time workers to escape the nasty mess of providing healthcare all together.  Their  reasoning behind this is that workers who are temporary part time are easy to replace,  cost effective, allowing management to use them when they need them and do not fall under the protective umbrella of full-time/full benefits workers.  Trust me even the government sectors are using these tactics.  Regardless of whether business' drop healthcare now because of National Healthcare or later because the costs are cutting into profits does not matter.  With the economy being the way it is,  there is no way for businesses to continue enticing employees with benefits.  The most they can do is tell employees that when times are good, they have a job.  When times are bad, there are no guarantees of a job. Not to use a cliche, but we have passed the tipping point. What is the logical step?  Americans become responsible for their own healthcare.  Novel idea, huh? 
Insurance has been a big racket from it's conception.  It is quite similar to the mob.  (Before I get nasty emails, hear me out)  It's paying for protection and hoping nothing happens to you, your family, your belongs, etc  Is there ever a return on the money?  No.  Ask anyone who is over 35 years old, and no traffic violations on their record for over five years, if their rates have gone down. Nine times out of ten, the answer will be no.  The reason why insurances have become such a big industry is because the government has gotten involved and demanded that people must have house insurance, car insurance and now it will be you must have health insurance.  Insurance companies jump at this like a lion who hasn't been fed for weeks and just saw a zookeeper walk into his cage without food.  Yummy, for the lion, not so much for the zoo keeper.  The insurance company will get whatever they can from their customers and in turn tell the doctors, drug companies and hospitals how much they will pay for certain services.  In turn, the health care providers, throw their hands up and say they have no control  and they are at the mercy of the insurance companies.  What is wrong with this picture?  The insurance companies are  in the middle between the patient and treatment.   Think about it ?  If patients don't want the government in the middle, why are the insurance companies allowed in the middle to help decide what should or should not be done?  Perhaps its time for the patient and doctor to work out what the payment should be, what treatment they  should have and what works best for both parties. That is why the Health Savings Account appeals to so many consumers who want their own choices and don't want to be tied down to the red tape, endless paperwork hell of the Insurance companies.  It's time to get the protection racket out of the picture. This won't happen because the poor old  insurance industry will be too big to fail.  Obama would be forced unfortunately, to bailout another industry.  Oh, wait, with his plan this is exactly what he is doing right now.  Sorry Blue Cross, HAP and all the other insurance companies, this is your swan song.  Time to go. 
But wait,  there are those who will still maintain that health insurance is the only way to live.  Assuming that it is better to have health insurance,  for the sake of those who still cling to this racket.    What questions should be asked?  First, wouldn't it be better to shop around?  Wouldn't it be better to tell the insurance companies this is what the customer needs,  how much is the best plan ?  It is insane that consumers can choose their car insurance, home insurance, life insurance but when it comes to healthcare they get whatever comes their way.  This shouldn't be the case.  It also shouldn't be the case that consumer's options for  policies requires them to be responsible for the first 10,000 dollars for emergency care, then the insurance company will pick up the rest.  Why bother with healthcare when the deductibles are too high?   Patients will be in debt up to their eyeballs, and still have to pay the $250 dollar bill every month to the insurance companies.  It doesn't take a math or economy genius to figure this out.    A patient would be better  not to have insurance and  pay down the amount owed by setting up a payment plan with the healthcare provider.  But the poor patent has been brainwashed  by society that they should not have to pay for their own healthcare bills.  That should be someone else's responsibility.   Why is that?  That makes no sense. 
When the government gets involved, how much worse will it be?  For starters, no choices, no control and no communication.  If the paperwork and red tape from Insurance companies is bad, it is ten times worse with the government.  Has anyone done their taxes lately and realized all the loop holes, regulations and forms?   It's a nightmare! It would not be a surprise that the healthcare from good old Uncle Sam would not be any different.  There is only one solution that makes sense and fits every American's situation:  TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.   Americans have got to be trained to understand that they don't need the government to help them make decisions, they are smart enough to do it themselves.  Americans do not need big insurance companies telling them what the best medical coverage is,  but they do need a free market where insurance companies compete for their business.  Competition has always been the best route for consumers.  It's proven to 99% of the time.  It seems that the tipping point has brought about a change in the way health insurance should be doing business or how they should be getting out of business.

Help! The Government is Stimulating my wallet!

And not in a good way either.  As President Obama and his minions trot out this wonderful plan that will get the country back on it's feet in 2013,  voters are wondering, "Did I sign up for this?   Yes,  all the voters who hoped for change have gotten their wish.  There is change big time,  The government is shaking it out of our wallets and into their hands.   Shall we take a look at the plan that the Senate and House has agreed on?  What does $798 trillion dollars buys us these days? 
New schools.  Wonderful!  Property taxes should cover this cost, but I guess it is not enough.  So the Federal government has taken over responsibility for this.  Perhaps the local government of each community would like to rebate their citizens for money that was collected for their schools.  While the rest of country who are not getting new schools will have to  pay for our local schools AND the schools in Chicago.   Talk about getting hit on both sides.
New Roads and bridges.  Again,  taxpayers are hit twice for projects that the state collects through property taxes and gas tax.  Where does all this money go?  How can we be sure that the extra funds will be applied where they are suppose to and not lining the pockets of some Washington Big Shot.   In Michigan, there are so many pot holes on the roads that the cars may soon disappear into them.  Especially the hybrid cars,  they could be swallowed whole and be a nice coffin for the passengers.  At least with an SUV there might be a chance to be found before it was too late.   Granholm has raised taxes, yet the roads are in a constant state of disrepair.  Again... where does the money go? 
STD Prevention and family planning.  Obama might have told Pelosi to take it out but none of the Senators who have actually voted on this debacle have said they read the whole 800 pages.   Who's to say that it is not in fine print?  It probably is but let's remember that this is suppose to be a transparent government.  That is why they did everything behind closed doors.  Making deals left and left, without once listening to the growing number of voters who are fed up with their plans.  They've come to an agreement, good for them.  Disaster for us! 
A new healthcare administration that will make people want to dig their own grave,  With a new Healthcare czar the Administration will seize hold of everyone's medical records and commence to make medical decisions for you.  The unworthy taxpayer who pays for this through the nose but yet does not have a say in their healthcare.   In high school,   it was fascinating to hear how the people in Communist Russia lived.  The thought often came  through my head, "How can people live like that and take it?"  We are about to find out!   Come to think of it, has anyone noticed that the Administration have stopped using the word Czar?  Could it be that they are worried that the public would catch onto their socialist, communist agenda? 
ACORN.  There isn't much more to say here.  The political activist group who were monumental in getting this President elected by any means possible, is getting a nice payback.  How they will stimulate the economy?  They won't.  However, they will do their best to keep the Democrats in power and may even work towards the goal of ending free elections.  Don't think the current Administration would want that?  
Tax rebate for non paying taxpayers.   Would this include Daschle and Geither?   Are they eligible for welfare?  This is another scam to pay off voters.  What is most offensive about this is that it is so blatantly obvious that they are BUYING  votes with taxpayers dollars.  This proves that most of the Senate and Congress are corrupt, all the way to the top of the chain of command. 
As every American workers' wallets are being stimulated,  the Democrats in Washington are grinning from ear to ear.  This is their payday.   My wallet can't take much more stimulation.  There is barely enough to pay the bills, buy clothes and put food on the table.  Michigan has been hit hard, and now  the rest of the country is following.  What next?   Here's an idea,  try stimulating the economy by cutting taxes,  encourage businesses to reinvest in America by taking away restrictions and lowering corporate taxes.  For all the dictators in Washington, now is the time to  believe in the talent and strength of the American people instead of denying the freedom of its citizens to find their own happiness.  The greatness of this country lies in the people not in the government.  Get over yourselves,  get out of the way and let capitalism do what it does best.  CREATE PROSPERITY.

This Just in..... The election is not over!

It is truly amazing to scan the top stories of news websites,  TV, cable and magazines.  If you were a person living under a rock for the past year,  you would believe that today's date is November 5 and Barack is president.  It has been said on talk radio for the past week that the election is not over, so why post a blog that points out what everyone else has been saying all week?  Truth is,  it needs to be repeated over and over again.  With an emphasis on what the Democrats are doing at this moment ---- plotting to squash the American spirit.  
Obama, Pelosi and Reed have already set the agenda for what they will want to accomplish once Obama is elected.  First on the agenda:  take back all the Bush tax cuts.  Taking back the tax cuts only means one thing,  raising taxes.  Next up,  taking away freedom of speech.  No longer will there be conservative talk shows,  newspapers or perhaps even blogs.  Anyone who openly  discusses a different opinion than the Obama Administration should be prepared to have duct tape slapped over their mouths. It would not be surprising if  a new department is created to regulate everything that is being said on the air, web and newspapers.   The new president and his administration  will not tolerate debate, disobedience and demonstrations against their agenda.   This spells out the end of political speech.  Plans are in the works to redo healthcare again.  Thanks to the courageous work of Ted Kennedy who is working from his sick bed to make it a reality.  They will nationalize the healthcare industry whether the American public wants it or not.  Next,  it will be the Iraq war --- Obama will pull out the troops and we will leave our allies hanging out to dry just as it was done to Vietnam.  Our standing in the world will not be respected.  Allies will see America as a country who does not stand behind their words.   
As the Democrats  plan for Obama to take the throne -- oops,  the Oval officem  the Republicans must do their job at keeping the prize in sight.  November 4 is just around the corner.  Regardless of what the polls say, the race is a very tight one and certainly will be historic.  Now, more than ever, it is important to get the truth out in order to stop the socialist agenda that the Democrats are gleefully planning.   It isn't over folks --- now is the time to start throwing the "tea" into the harbor.  Make your voices heard!  If by the chance we do have a President Obama,  the fight will not be over.  It is the duty of every American citizen to continue fighting for the rights that were divinely given to us.  To quote an old but powerful saying, "Freedom isn't free."
