This is a blog I am writing to make myself feel a little better. I will be writing about politics and other current events facing America that are really bothering me. I will probably go off topic some but don't inted to put alot of personal stuff in here.
So the White House has created a new email address for people to report "fishy" emails and blog posts related to Obama's Health Care plan to. They claim that they can't monitor everything so they want America's help in keeping an eye on us evil right wing conservatives (you know the ones that DHS said were terrorists) and reporting us if we disagree with what the messiah is saying about health care. I am all for the police force asking for people's help in solving a crime or preventing acts of terrorism, but reporting people who disagree ideologically is a little much. I feel like I woke up in "1984" and am looking out for the thought police. Well let me say this and maybe this will get my blog reported. The new health care plan will lead to a single payer system (Obama said in his own words that is what he wanted), there will be rationed health care, there is talk of the federal government paying for abortions under this plan, and there will end of life counseling for seniors. This administration is getting more dangerous by the day and we need to all be alert about what they are trying to do.
So NBC has finally decided to criticize President Obama, about what you may ask? No not because he has spent more in six months then any other President in history, not because the budget deficit is at record numbers, not because he is naming self-proclaimed Communist and Marxist to be czars in his administration, not because his health plan will spend over a trillion dollars, and not because he acted ignorantly by calling Sgt. Crowley stupid without knowing all the facts. No they are criticizing Obama because he had an ugly birthday cake. Yes that is right our country is going to hell in a (Chinese made) hand basket and the media decides it is important to show how fair and balanced they are by taking shots at the President's hideous birthday cake. So I guess now all of us conservative hate mongers have to shut up about NBC having a liberal bias.
So when are the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers going to wake up and realize they were lied to. Once again the man who promised to be the most transparent administration ever is with holding information. The administration is not releasing information about the current sales related to the "Cash for Clunkers" bill even as the Senate is debating another $2 billion for the program. Might this be because this program which touted how it would help jump start the American Automotive Business is actually increasing sales of foreign automakers. Six of the top ten cars sold under this program have been Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai's.
This is a great article from the conservative mouthpiece that is CNN (sarcasm). It goes into 5 key freedoms that Americans will lose under Obama's Health Care Plan. They include the freedom to choose whats in your plan, freedom to be rewarded for healthy living, freedom to choose high-deductible plans, freedom to keep your existing plan, and freedom to choose your own doctor. The facts of this plan are that sooner or later you are going to be on the public plan and once you are on there plan you are not going to have alot of options. You will be treated to whatever health care the government thinks you need. The Democrats are running around talking about the options you will have and the choices you will be able to make when it comes to your health care but that is simply not true. Health care will be rationed, companies will lose incentive to innovate, and their will be no cost savings recognized by the government.
Nice video showing a collection of clips from some of Obama's speeches where he talks about how what he really wants is a single payer healthcare system and how he feels the public option (the one being pushed for in the Universal Health Care Bill) is a big step on the way there.
Time to wake up people. House and Senate members will be home for recess over the next month. Make sure you let them know how you feel about Obama's Health Care plan.
So today's installment comes from a lesser known Founder, Dr. Benjamin Rush. Dr. Rush, known as the "Father of American Medicine" was a member of the Continental Congress, signed the Declaration of Independence, and served under five different U.S. presidents. People, myself included, often talk about how brilliant our Founding Fathers were and how they could foresee many of the problems are country would face in the future, well Dr. Rush was no different. As I was doing some reading I came across this brilliant quote:
"Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship and force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what the dictating outfit offers."
WOW, this really blew me away when I read it. This is exactly what is happening with the Universal Health Care bill. The administration would have you believe that there will be no forced use of the government healthcare system and that you will be able to continue to keep your private insurance if you want it. Well how long do you think private insurance lasts the way we know it today if they have to compete against the government, which doesn't have to make a profit and can just print more money if they run out. The current House bill also gives the federal government more control over private insurance and how it is run. It also includes a provision that if you lose your current healthcare coverage and can not find a similar (as defined by Washington) program you must get on the government's plan. As well as a requirement that all employers must enroll employees in the government run health plan. So to me it sounds like this would lead us to a place where everyone is on the government run plan without any other options. That is funny considering President Obama is on record of saying ""I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program... But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately." Yes, he is out there preaching now that if you like your current plan you will be able to keep it, but for how long? Once we are all on the government plan they will have complete control over what services and medicines we receive or in many cases don't receive. Grandpa need a new kidney, well you know that would just cost too much money and he is already 70 years old and has lived a good life. Let's give him a few tylenol to ease the pain and send him home to die. Get ready America if government health care passes this is exactly what is going to happen. Ask a former member of the military or a patient on medicaid how happy they are with government run healthcare. Dr. Rush foresaw all of this over 200 years ago and could see what a tyrannical thing it would be. Don't believe this is exactly what the administration wants watch this video which outlines exactly how we got here and where they want to go from there.
So a woman from Carroll, Iowa has grown so tired of seeing Obama on tv all the time she has decided to sell her tv's. The woman who did admit to voting for McCain in November said she has grown tired of changing the channel every time he is on tv and decided she would just get rid of the tvs. If it weren't for sports I would probably do exactly what this woman is doing.
"I don't care what the Frenchy frogs think about it. Why are liberals always so concerned about the French and what the French are going do, France is a rat hole. They are setting cars on fire. They are kidnapping their bosses and threatening to blow up automobile plants if they don't get raises. Why would we care about a country that is out of control, filled with beret wearing, wine swilling surrender monkeys?" --Glenn Beck
This statement came in response to some audio he played of Obama talking about how we can't live our live styles the way we want and expect other countries to be ok with it.
So I guess Obama has "changed" his mind in the last couple of years. When it is the opposition party who wants to pass something quickly he thinks that it is major problem, but when his fellow liberals want to rush through agenda items that are going to fundamentally change this country for the worse that is just fine. Everyone in Washington needs to slow down, read the bill, and understand what effect it is going to have on this country before they vote. This goes for both Democrats and Republicans. The government is so busy rushing to vote for something that they often fail to recognize the impact it has on other very important aspects of this country. We saw it with the Patriot Act, Bush's TARP Bill, Obama's Stimulus Bill, the Cap and Trade Bill, and now they are trying to do the same thing to us with the Universal Healthcare Bill. These people make me just want to scream at them to stop and just read the freaking bill and think about it for a day or two. We haven't had Universal Healthcare for the last 200 plus years in this country and we are doing pretty good for the most part. I think it can wait another month or two.
So the media wants everyone to believe Sarah Palin is an idiot but listening to her farewell speech from this weekend makes me believe she may understand exactly what is going on and how scary it really is.
"We face challenging times with some hell-bent on tearing down our nation by perpetuating pessimism and apologizing for America."
Amen, can we please stop apologizing President Obama. We are the greatest country in the world. People risk their lives to get here daily. There are many people all over the world who are free today that have us to thank.
"I will address some, just some, in the media because another right that is protected is the freedom of the press. You have such important jobs reporting facts and informing the electorate and exerting power to influence. You represent what could and should be a respected and honest profession that could and should be a cornerstone of our democracy. Democracy depends on you...So how about... you quit making things up. And don’t underestimating the wisdom of the American people."
Many of those in the media in this country are so in love with the current administration that they can't see the truth in what is going on. They are so worried about professing their loyalty to Obama that they have forgotten the founding fathers intended for them to be almost a fourth branch of government keeping the other three branches honest.
"I promised that we would govern with fiscal restraint so as not to immorally burden future generations. And we did...I vetoed hundreds of millions of dollars of excess, and with lawmakers we saved billions for the future."
If only we could get all of our politicians to believe this and act on it we would not be in the financial mess we are today. And she is absolutely right passing huge deficits on to our children and grandchildren is immoral.
"We can resist enslavement to big central government that crushes hope and opportunity. We must be wary of government largesse. It doesn’t come free and often accepting it takes away everything that is free. Melting into Washington’s powerful and caretaking arms will only lead to suck away the incentive to work hard and chart our own course. This will only contribute to an unstable economy and dizzying national debt, and it will make us less free."
Not only can we resist enslavement to the the big central government, we must. This government does not want America to be the freedom loving country that values pulling yourself up by the bootstraps that we have been for over two hundred years. They want us all to rely on the government for what we need in our daily life because then they will have control over us and have complete power. What this current government and the one before it were all about is power. They wanted to have control over the daily activities of our lives and we have been giving in to them for too long. We must stop doing this now. If you are struggling turn to your family, friends, church, and community don't turn to Uncle Sam. The relief from the government is not worth the consequences that come with it. You are stuck giving up some of your freedom every time you look to the government for help, and that government assistance is designed to keep you dependent on the government so that freedom is forever gone. It is time to wake up people!
