Senate Votes to Bankrupt the US
Well they did it. The Senate Democrats voted in mass to stop debate over the take over of the medical sector of the economy. Not one senator had the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Harry Reed and say NO to this unconstitutional power grab. What is really telling is that while they voted in favor of ending debate, none of them has actually seen the bill, let alone read it. The Democrats have shown their true colors with this vote. They have proven they have NO integrity. They are willing to toe the line and give BO whatever he wants and DAMN the country. Like BO’s preacher, the Senate has now said GOD DAMN AMERICA. Our Christmas prayer should be the defeat of every member who voted in favor of this power grab. The America we know will no longer exist if these clowns have their way. What I fear is BO will declare martial law and the Senate and House Democrats will agree. I would not be surprised to hear BO attempt to cancel the 2010 elections as well as the 2012 presidential election. I truly fear for the future of the United States of America.
Random thoughts
The Main Stream Media is at it again. They are using basically the same language to describe the attendance at the pro gay rights march on Washington as they used for the 9-12 anti-tax march. They are saying it was attended by “thousands”. Reading the reports you are led to believe attendance at both was similar. Nothing could be further from the truth. The attendance at the 9-12 event exceeded that of the gay march by a double digit factor. Problem is, to admit that the media would also have to admit that the “Tea Party Mobs” are more than just a small minority of the U.S. population and should be ignored.
I have heard members of Congress claim the authority for their involvement in health care comes from Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. This claim shows a true lack of knowledge on the part of these members of Congress. This section does say the “Congress shall have the power to … provide … for the general Welfare of the United States”. Note, there is nothing in this section that says anything about the welfare of individual citizens. The section only speaks to the welfare of the nation as a whole. If the founders had intended this to refer to the people as individuals they would have said so. Were the argument that health care legislation is permitted by this section there would be NO limit to the power of Congress as they could argue that anything they wanted to do was permitted because it was for the generale welfare.
Article 1 Section 8 also requires that Excise Taxes shall be uniform throughout the United States. The Senate Heath Care Bill exempts some states from several tax provisions. This exemption is a direct violation of this Constitutional provision.
There are those who would call me a “political terrorist” due to my views. They also call me a racist due to my disagreement with BO. It is the height of arrogance that the same people who called George Bush every name in the book should condemn me for disagreeing with their warped view of the Constitution. They condemn me for actions that they claimed were the height of patriotism when they used them to condemn Bush.
9-12 event
The main stream media refuses to truthfully report on this event because it would negate their contention that the tea baggers are only a kooky fringe element. They shrilly tell us that the majority continues to support Obama and the Radical Democrats in congress. It took an English reporter to report on the actual numbers in attendance. Just another action that explains why the media is trusted even less than politicians.
The leftist media has become expert at finding the most whacked out people at any conservative event while portraying leftists as main stream. Look at the claims that the conservatives are resorting to hate and name calling. Evaluate the truthfulness of this claim. Who mis it that is calling the tea bag movement an “Astro Turf” group? Who is it that is calling conservatives Political Terrorists? Who is it that freely and without any media condemnation calling conservatives Nazi’s? Who is it that accuses conservatives of lying? That’s right, it is Obama and his syncopaths in the legislature.
Who really is not truthful with the American people. Who is it that claims if only health care reform is passed he will be able to reduce fraud and waste in medicare? If fraud and waste is as bad as Obama claims and he can stop it, why doesn’t he start RIGHT NOW? Why wait. The truth is he is only guessing at the magnitude of the problem and has NO idea of how to stop it.
Who is it that claims he can insure another fifty million people without spending any additional money? This claim is so clearly false that it is laughable. Who is it that claims no illegal aliens will be covered while refusing to say so in the bill and refusing to require proof of citizenship? If the truth was told, the majority of uninsured are illegal aliens. Obama and the Democrats include them in their uninsured claims and wants you to believe they won’t cover them.
Who is it that claims there will be no rationing while setting up politically appointed commissions to determine what treatments are best and who will receive them. Who is it that claims people are dying because of lack of insurance when they know that no hospital that accepts governmental payments can legally refuse to treat anybody?
Obama and the Democrats are making claims that and rational person should be able to debunk. The complain the conservatives are lying when, in fact, it is them who are lying.
When nothing else works, they claim there really isn’t a bill at this time. If there is no bill, how can they claim to know what is or isn’t in it? The left is running scared. Conservatives need to keep the pressure on. The only real goal of most members of Congress is reelection. They need to know they are refusing to listen at their own risk.
Government Health Care
If you think the government can run an efficient health care system you need to read this:
According to Military.com, the Army veteran Juan Rivera, 55 years old, claims he contracted HIV from the procedure on or about May 19, 2008. Rivera said he had been tested twice and both times he was positive for the disease.
In December, the VA’s Tennessee Health Care System identified a problem related to the “reprocessing” of endoscopy equipment, which exposed otherwise healthy individuals to cross-contamination.
The VA says the errors were limited to the three states, but a report by the agency’s Inspector General suggested more widespread problems.
Subsequently, all VA facilities were told to review their processes to ensure that they were in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions, according to the report. Completed in December and January, these reviews also identified significant reprocessing issues at the Augusta VA Medical Center and at the Miami VA Medical Center, both of which required patient notifications and testing.
Those who may have been exposed to cross-contamination were patients that received endoscopic procedures at the Murfreesboro GI Clinic from April 2003 to December 2008; Augusta ENT Clinic from January 2008 to November 2008; and Miami GI Clinic from May 2004 to March 2009.
VA has issued a statement saying they will continue to notify, inform, and treat all potentially impacted Veterans, regardless of risk, cause, or harm.
To complicate matters for the VA, at least 1,200 veterans were mistakenly told by the Veterans Administration that they suffer from a Lou Gehrig’s disease, a fatal neurological disease, among other problems due to a “coding error” in their system.
That’s right, the VA failed to properly follow directions and gave at least one veteran AIDS. They told over 1200 they had ALS when, in fact, they did not. Add these to the Administrator who directed mental health workers NOT to diagnosis PTSD in combat veterans due to the potential costs. She wanted the veterans to be diagnosed with anti-social behavior or pre-existing depression so the VA would not be responsible for their care.
Manufactured events
BO and his congressional lap dogs are out there claiming people questioning global warming are right wing kooks. They like to claim the tea party movement is nothing but a bunch of manufactured events. I have personally attended tea parties and know I have never been paid by Fox. I wish they would pay me. I protest because I am fed up with this administration.
Lets conceed some of the protests are manufactured. So what!!!! So someone organized them. What is wrong with that? Before this have you ever heard the left complain about “manufactured Events”? You know, manufactured events like peace demonstrations in DC and other cities. Events like the “Million Man Martch.” Of course not. These events agreed with the left’s politically correct beliefs. Free speech is great as long as you agree with them. Disagree and they want to jail you.
Obama Care
When are the American people going to wake up? Does the left ac tually believe that the same people that run the post office, Department of Veterans Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Affairs can run a National Health Care system? How truthful do they think Obama is when he says this will save taxpayers money?
Look at the history of government run programs. Social Security (or is that insecurity?) is broke. If a private company ran an “insurance” program this poorly that individual would be in prison. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is still in court over oil money they can not account for. In order to keep the court from being able to determine the extent of their criminal activity, employees of the Bureau of Indian Affairs distroyed millions of documents. The situation is so bad auditors have declared the accounts unauditable. Native Americans have been cheated out of billions by the agency charged with protecting their assets. The VA has waiting times exceeding 6 months to receive speciality care. Do we really believe times would be reduced if the government controlled the health care system? The public health service and the VA are both pleagued with incompent doctors. Would this improve if the government controlled the system? The VA has exposed the private information of thousands of veterans to potential idenity theifs by failing to safeguard computer systems. They have been responsible for many deaths of veterans by inproperly cleaning equipment and their anser to these failures is not to fire the people responsible but to just transfer them somewhere else.
Obama Care is really the beginning of the end for America.
Traitor
The left now calls honest policy disagreement treason. If my disagreement and distrust of Obama is treason then you on the left have spent the last 8 years as traitors. I fought and bled, as did many of my military brothers and sisters, for your right to freedom. I will continue to fight for your right to say what you want. Why do you try to deny me the same rights? Is it because you are afraid of the truth? Are you afraid that people will begin to take back the freedoms they are being denied? Are you afraid the Constitution will again be the governing document of this nation. If calling on politicians to read and follow the Constitution, something they swore to do in their Oath of Office, makes me a traitor I proudly own up to that title. I did not serve in Viet Nam and see over 58,000 of my brothers and sisters die for your freedom to give it up so easily. Go ahead, call me names like your St. Obama has already done through his Department of Homeland Insecurity, branding people like me terroists. I will continue to stand up for what is right and continue to oppose the wrong headed policies of the current occupant of the Oval Office. If any of you on the left want to forward this post to the FBI feel free to do so. I have no fear of the truth, going so far as to use my real name and not hiding behind some silly screen name as most of you do.
Ever wonder
Have you ever wondered why we even bother with blogging? I know some days I question if it is even worth my time to talk politics to anyone. Just look at the actions of our government. The House passes Cap and Trade legislation knowing that the Administration and the EPA has lied to them and the public about Global Climate Change. When a long time trusted EPA Employee debunked the science he was told not to work on Climate Change. At a time when more and more scientists are questioning the science Congress and the Administration act with unusual speed. Hundreds of pages of the bill were dumped on Representatives in the middle of the night and they voted on it the following day. I remember the old days of computer technology. Back then we had a saying-GIGO- Garbage in garbage out. All of the Global Climate Change “Research” findings are based on computer simulations. If the computer doesn’t agree with the preconceived conclusion it is so easy to change the input. People believe the outcome because they have been convinced computers do not make mistakes. Perhaps they don’t, but if the input is wrong, so is the output. The Global Climate Change religion is based not on science, but faith. No model can take into account all the variables so “scientists” use limited information. These same models were unable to accurately predict the spread of toxic clouds from oil well fires in the Middle East.
When the Left tries to discredit those of us who do not bow to the Global Warming god they say follow the money. Lets do the same for the biggest blow hard nut pushing this religion, All Gore. Gore has made millions on this scam and stands to make billions if the Senate goes along with the House. Meanwhile, US Industry goes in the toilet. BO claims we will not even feel the results of his “change”. Even his crazy VP has admitted they “GUESSED” wrong. How much more of these guesses from people who have never held a real job let alone ran a company can this country take? If the Democrats’ goal is the killing of all American business and the ruination of our way of life, they are succeeding.
Saved Jobs
BO claims he has saved or created over 500,000 jobs with his stimulus plan. What is really telling is the MSM has accepted this claim without question. The truth is there is NO WAY the administration can possibly count the number of “SAVED” jobs. Were this claim made by anyone but the anointed one the media would be up in arms. This is beyond a SWAG, it is a bold faced lie. BO has no idea if his policies have saved even one job. As far as the creation of new jobs, this is even more of a joke. Truth is these “Jobs” are government make work positions that are only temporary. How this clown can claim to be creating or saving jobs when the unemployment level is increasing every week is really questionable. Is BO so stupid as to believe this crap or does he just think we are that stupid.
Looking at the blogs it really looks like a large number of Americans are dumb enough to believe every lie that comes out of the mouth of BO. BO is a serial lier. Even China is laughing at his claims he will be able to balance the budget while spending more than all previous administrations in history. BO is a real and present danger to this great nation and needs to be removed from office along with the leadership of the house and senate. These people swore to suport and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. If they think they are following this oath, they need to read the Constitution. BO claims to be a Constitutional Scholar. What a laugh. If he truly is an expert in constitutional law, he needs to resign from office because of his failure to follow it.
Why is Obama so unpopular even while the MSM Media tells us otherwise?
The mainstream media has told us we are being governed by the most popular president in history. This is a lie. The truth is Obama’s popularity ratings are only one point higher than those of the least popular president, Bill Clinton, since ratings began 40 years ago. At the 100 day mark, President Clinton’s approval ratings were at 55% and President Obama’s are at 56%. In contrast, President Reagan, the most popular president had approval ratings of 67%, George H. W. Bush’s ratings were at 58%, George W’s ratings were at 62%, and even Presidents Carter and Nixon enjoyed higher approval ratings. Carters ratings were 63% and Nixon’s were 61% at this milestone point in their presidencies.
Why is BO so unpopular?
1.He promised to cut government spending and reduce the size of the deficit. He ran as a moderate but is governing from the left. President Obama is the second least popular president because he is more partisan and divisive than his predecessors – including Richard Nixon.
2. He promised to cut taxes for the poor and middle class. In fact, he has increased the tax burden for the poor and middle class. While he may have made minor changes to the income tax laws, he has increased tobacco taxes which primarily affect the poor and middle class. He wants to increase the costs of carbon based fuels which will impact the poor more than the rich. He advocates increasing the gas tax, again impacting the poor more than the rich.
3. He advocates raising taxes on business. Fact, business DOES NOT pay taxes. Like all other expenses, tax is simply passed on to the consumer.
4. He has more than tripled the deficit in less than 100 days. I thought he was going to cut the deficit. Wait, he has decided to cut a bunch of programs to save money. What the media fails to tell us is he is just going to spend that money on other things. Net spending reduction from these cuts, $o.
5. He has told his Cabinet members to find ways to cut their budgets. The cuts he wants amount are comparable to a typical person cutting out a cup of coffee a week. Again these are not real cuts because he plans on spending the money somewhere else.
What American’s want, regardless of what Colin Powell claims, is less Government and lower taxes. We need to get back to the Constitution. I contend that most Cabinet offices are unconstitutional. I challenge anyone to show me in the Constitution the authority for ant departments other that State, Homeland Security, Defense and possibly Commerce. Even the office of Attorney General is hard to justify under the Constitution. The Department’s of Education, Veteran’s Affairs, Agriculture, and almost all others defy the Constitution.
