Why the Democrats Want Government Run Healthcare So Badly?

Posted by TrueBlueAmerican on Saturday, July 25, 2009 12:21:02 PM
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.

Just For Fun! Everyone sing Cold Obama

Posted by TrueBlueAmerican on Tuesday, June 02, 2009 9:57:41 AM
Kindergarten was my favorite grade.  We always made time for stories and singing.  Since President Obama has taken office, there does not seem much reason to sing.  However,  I've decided I am not going to participate in his gloom and doom.  As a certain talk show host advises,  and we will state the name for purpose of clarity, Rush urges his listeners to think for themselves,  learn for themselves and live life to the fullest, even if the circumstances around you are not ideal. To keep everyone in a happy mood,  lets sing together.  It's a catchy tune that everyone knows.  Remember Old McDonald?  Well try this: 

Cold Obama ran a government, 
E I E I O
And in the government he had a Czar
E I E I O
With a auto czar here, and a healthcare czar there, 
here a czar, there a czar 
everywhere a czar , czar
Cold Obama ran a government 
E I E I  O 

Ready for more?

Cold Obama ran a  Government 
E I E I O
and in the government he had a  cheat, 
E I E I O
With a tax cheat here and a tax cheat there 
here a cheat, there a cheat
everywhere a cheat, cheat,
Cold Obama ran a government 
E I E I O 

Cold Obama ran a government 
E I E I O 
and in the government he had Acorn 
E I E I O
with voter fraud here, and voter fraud there
hear a fraud, there a fraud 
everywhere a voter fraud 
Cold Obama ran a government 
E I E I O 

Cold Obama ran a government 
E I E I O
and in the government he had a teleprompter,
E I E I O 
with a teleprompter here, and a teleprompter there 
Here a prompt, there a prompt,
Everywhere  a teleprompter! 
Cold Obama ran a government 
E I E I O

Ready for the grand finale?  Everyone all together now

Cold Obama ran a government

E I E I O 
With a pork bill here, a stimulus bill here
Here he spends, there he spends, 
Everywhere is big Spending! 
Cold Obama ran a government 
E I E I O!!!!!! 

This should make us laugh, unfortunately, it may make us cry.

Obama Asks How Gullible Are You?

Posted by TrueBlueAmerican on Monday, February 23, 2009 8:22:01 PM
This past month has been very revealing when it comes to the new President.  In the first month, he has managed to turn the economy upside down,  spend more than any president in his first thirty days and takes a much needed extended weekend before an upcoming crucial Senate vote on his spending bill, aka. this is what is a stimulus is to a Democrat.   it is safe to say that he is not the messiah.  After all Jesus said the Temples would be destroyed and in three days he would rebuild the church.  Obama, on the other hand, has destroyed the American Economy and stated it will take years to rebuild.  Is this  the hope we can believe in? 
It is truly amazing that the Obamanites are still out there in droves chanting the mantra,  "Obama is great!  Obama is the one!"   Ask anyone of the why they believe that Obama is doing a good job.  "He gives hope.   Give him a chance."   Give him a chance to do what?  Destroy the American Dream?   No sir.  With all due respect,  every American Citizens should stand firm against Obama and his policy.  It should not be that in America in 2009 that we can not disagree with our President and hold him accountable for the decisions that he is making on our behalf.  His policy thus far are dangerous if not on the line of treason.  He must be stopped, especially since he has done a 180 degree turn away from his Spend, spend, spend policy to cutting the deficit in half.  
Obama's summit will have accomplished nothing today but will help those who have contributed feel really good about themselves.  The Fiscal Responsibility Summit's aim is to find ways to cut the deficit while spending trillions of dollars on useless programs.  Anyone who has a high school  education can tell you that red is not a good color when it comes to money and accounting.  The only way to get out of red is find ways of cutting things out or find other sources of income.  Would anyone like  to venture a guess as to which way Obama would like to go?  The other sources of income seems very likely for Obama.  Don't fret,  Obama is not going to get a second job at McDonald's or Walmart to help supplement the government's spending.  He will raise the  taxes on the average Joe to get America into the black.  (Don't worry Joe Biden,  you are not average.  You are safe from the dreadful tax hikes.) It looks as though taxpayers will be getting that second job just to afford living.  
How gullible is the American public?  Will they buy the spin that Obama is finding ways to cut the deficit despite the fact that he has spent trillions of dollars in the past month?  Will they buy the excuse that Obama had no choice but to do this because Bush was a bad president and left his with this huge budget problem?  (Don't forget Americans,  Obama encouraged Bush to do the first bailout and voted for the first stimulus package.)   It is certainly seems as though some American voters has fallen into a trance,  but there are enough of us who have not bought the Obama lies.  Now is the time to call for action.  If you believe in saving the American Dream for our children and ourselves,  join the  Facebook group,  "Protecting the American Dream"  Let your voice be heard.  Washington will hear us and know that the minority Conservative giant has awaken and he does not like what is happening to our country.

Introducing the Perfect President

Posted by TrueBlueAmerican on Thursday, January 15, 2009 9:00:00 AM



The Obama administration is creating the image of a President who is a savior, suave and sophisticated. It’s all about popularity.  It’s all about perception. It's all about the perfect president.  After all, look what we had for the past eight years.  it has been the  mantra of the left and the media that George W. Bush is dumb, inarticulate, folksy and a whole host of other derogatory names that would not be polite to mention.  In every instance, Bush has risen above the  murmurs and insults to emerge as a President who has done all he could to keep this country safe.  However, the media, with the aid of the left, have seen to it that Bush's legacy is one of failure.   Now, President-elect Barack Obama will be assuming the office and what the murmurs are saying now, “How intelligent!  How manly!  Wow, he has great pecs!” Which truly illustrates the truth of the old saying, “Beauty is in the  eyes of the beholder.”  So will Obama be criticized, picked on and made aware of every missteps he makes.  Doubtful.  The Obamanites are too busy fawning over his perfections like a giddy high school girl who has a crush on the star quarterback. 

The media raked Bush over the coals for everything little thing.  Even down to his folksy style of speaking. In contrast,  Obama gets a pass over his um, ah’s and use of slang whenever he speaks.  Over the weekend on Steppanapolis’s show on ABC, Obama explained that because of the situation that the economy is in” “Everyone is going to  have to have some skin in the game”  Skin in the game? Is  that hood speak?  Or is that part of the eloquent style of Chicago politics? Imagine the conversations that Obama might have with heads of states.  “Yo, Putin.  Ah, you giving Iran nukes is a game changer in the Middle East.  Ah,  and Ah, so ah, don’t give out any more nukes. Ah, and ah, are you down with that?”   Bush’s folksy, down south demeanor does not seem so bad after all. 

Let’s not be too critical.  After all, President-Elect Obama is the Messiah who will bring everyone together.  Just the other day he broke bread with George Will, William Kristol and David Brooks.  Now, isn’t that special.  It is almost as if he really wants to find out what really motivates the conservative movement.  One problem,  The gentlemen that Obama had his kumbaya moment  with are the same ones that propped up McCain and at the last moment of the campaign stated, that we had a good candidate but in essence no one could have won against the glorious Obama.  If Obama wants to impress the conservatives, break bread with Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaguh.  True conservatives who would give Obama an education that could last a life time.  Let’s be honest,  Obama could care less about conservatism.  This was all about a “photo op” to solidify Obama’s image as one who can save the world.   It is also a strong message that Obama will deal with people he knows he can manipulate.  As much as I may respect Kristol, Brooks and Will for their dedication, they have been in the beltway too long. 

Why can’t Obama's shortcomings be pointed out? Listen to the defenders of Obama  and find out why it is criminal to questiton the messiah.  Obamanites lament that their president-elect  hasn’t even taken office yet and no one is giving him a chance to lead.   Instead of criticism, Americans should encourage him and wish him well.  These are the same people who hollered, yelled, screamed and demand prosecution against George W. Bush for everything that happened over the past eight years.  In their view,  Bush ruined everything and can not do anything right. In contrast, Obama is the leader who will get it right one-hundred percent of the time.   Everything he does appears to be perfect,  presidential and practical.  Even spending more on inauguration ceremonies and celebrations than any other president in history is the right move for the depression like economy that the U.S. is experiencing.  What else can demonstrate to the country that everyone has some skin in this with the exception of   the elites who will be partying in Washington like it’s 1999.  

In less than one week,  Obama will be sworn in as President of the United States.  It will be in the country’s best interest that  he does not succeed in his plans for making the United States of America the largest socialist country in the west.  Hold on  tight because this will be  the rockiest four years in our country’s  modern history. As a reminder to all the Obamanites, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it and have regrets.
