Healthcare Debate

The Senate Democrats must think we are dumb. The so called blue dog Democrats or those Democrats in states that may be a problem in getting re-elected next year claim they have problems with the Senate Healthcare bill but will vote for open debate on the Senate floor. The only problem with that is a 60 vote is required to get the bill on the floor for debate, but only 50 votes needed to get the bill passed once it is debated. With 50 votes in support of the measure, the Vice-President gets the chance to give the tie-breaking vote. Any guess what his vote will be? This way, 10 Democrats can vote NO for the final version and go back to their constituents claiming they did not vote for the bill when in actuality they did by voting for a floor debate. Because 10-15 million actually have no insurance because they cannot afford it, nearly 300 million will get screwed.

Difference between Liberal and Conservative

The difference between a liberal and a conservative is that a liberal believe in attacking the messenger (eg. Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin) while the conservatives attack the message. (stimulus, cap and trade, healthcare etc.)

Terrorist trial in NYC?

Moving the trial of the 5 terrorists to NYC is not being done to show the world how our justice system works, but to really put the Bush administration on trial. This is to satisfy the radical left wing of the Democratic Party. AG Holder also indicated he reviewed other information that has not been disclosed that he believes will lead to a conviction even though the AG must disclose all information to the defense attorneys. So there will be no secret being held back. The defense attorneys will rebut all the charges due to intense interrogation techniques, no Miranda rights and other forms of interrogations used by the CIA and approved by the Bush administration and request dismissal of all charges. The Obama administration is not interested in a conviction on these 5 terrorist but the adverse publicity they can get against the Bush administration and Republican party to help them in the 2010 and 2012 elections. Yet the other terrorists that are being held in GITMO are going to receive a military trial. Doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure this administration’s tactics. Imagine being a juror on these cases. You would have to go into protected custody for the rest of your life after the trial. This is an outrage and should be stopped.

Terrorism or cult

When a Cambridge Mass. police officer arrest a black college professor we hear President Obama state he does not know the facts but the police department acted stupidly. We now have a member of the military who is a Muslim who shoots and kills 13 soldiers, 14 if you count the baby in the womb of one of the pregnant victims and wounds approximately 40 others. Even though all indications from the actions of this Army Major, Nidal Malik Hasan, are that he was acting in support of Islam. He shouts at the time of the shooting, “Allahu Akbar”, well known rhetoric of terrorist as they begin their act. It has also been revealed that he had business cards printed that did not indicate he was a member of the military, but did have the letters SoA that is the letters for “Soldier of Allah”. But does President Obama call it an act of terrorist, no, just a violent act committed by a soldier. Political Correctness is alive and well not only in this administration but in the military as well. God help us. We can offend Christians, Jews, but God forbid we say something against Islam. But it is okay for a Mullah, Iman or member of Islam to make such statements to murder non-believers or murder members of their own family for either following western ways or joining another religion. But people like to believe that Islam is a religion when all indications seem to indicate this is a cult that dehumanizes women, insults God and accepts killings for their cause justified. If the Pope stood on his balcony and encourage all Catholics to kill all non-Catholics and receive the reward of 21 virgins in heaven, we know this administration and the lamestream media would be outraged. But no country or politician seems to want to say what is obvious.

Healthcare and more-Time to act.

The House of Representatives under the unique leadership of Nancy Pelosi passed their version of the healthcare bill that will screw most Americans. For seniors it will mean $400 to $500 billion cuts in Medicare that I guess you could say is Pelosi’s version of death panels. Higher taxes for not only those making more than $250,000 but for those making much less in higher premiums, taxes and just plain being screwed. But remember this is not just about healthcare but more importantly getting the government to get more control over our lives. Some may call it the beginning of Socialism, Fascism, Communism or becoming Marxist. I believe this is a combination of all in an attempt for this administration and those surrounding the President to bring more control over our lives to provide a better opportunity to continue this policy through continuous election of the same mentality or even gain control of the vote as we have seen with voter fraud in 2008 and in 2009. The Chicago mob mentality is alive and well in Washington D.C. and unless we get off our butts and let our voices be heard with our representatives through E-mails, letters, phone calls, attending town halls or tea party demonstrations wherever they may be held then we can expect a continuation of this Orwellan policy. Bankrupting this country seems to be the road we are traveling if this additional financial burden becomes law. The time has come when action by the individuals must be taken. We cannot say, I support the cause of dissent but I am not one to attend meetings, demonstrations and prefer to acknowledge the other person for voicing their objection and not do anything yourself. Speak up or you will regret it in the future and that future is less than 4 years away. I believe the following quotes from Thomas Jefferson apply today to what we see taking place in our Executive and Legislative branches of government.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Tyranny?

The Federal Reserve meets with bankers and practically orders them to curb the high salaries of their executives or they threatened the banks with an FDIC investigation that would cost the banks upwards of $10 million. And these are the banks that did not receive TARP money. Now this is what we see in socialist countries. I think what should be curbed are the salaries of Congress since they are not earning what they are being paid or should we say mostly overpaid.

Thomas Jefferson Knew

The Founding Fathers knew about too much power in the hands of a central government and that is why they put in place the 10th amendment. He wrote this question and answered his question. “What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body, no matter whether of the autocrats of Russia or France, or of the aristocrats of a Venetian senate.” Do you think maybe this applies to the grabbing of power by the Obama administration? We are losing our control.

Interesting Prophecy

Historian John Fiske wrote this prophecy on government over 100 years ago.

“If the day should ever arrive ( God Forbid) when the people of the different parts of our country shall allow their local affairs to be administered by prefects sent from Washington, and when the self-government of the states shall have been so far lost as that of the departments of France, or even so closely limited as that of the countries of England-on that day the political career of the American people will have been robbed of its most interesting and valuable features, and the usefulness of this nation will be lamentably impaired.”
