Health Care and some more

It is sad that Congress has to deal with so many crises. We had the unemployment crisis so they passed a stimulus package to keep unemployment from exceeding 8%. It is now at 9.5% and expected to go near 11%. So much for Congressional rhetoric. Then we had the automobile manufacturing crisis and we needed to have a bailout for the auto industry. And what do our tax dollars get us? Well we saved UAW that was part of the problem together with poor management and now as taxpayers we own an auto company. The UAW now owns more of GM then the bondholders that invested in this company. Something that was previously unheard of before this bailout. Bankruptcy court was told what to do that is another unheard of move. Now we are going to have the government run health care. Regardless of what this administration claims, this system of health care will have the same problems that are in Canada and England just on a bigger scale. Of course a deficit of 1 Trillion dollars is no problem since we will just tax the wealthy to pay for it. And if you believe you will have better health care because of this you are either a fool or just dumb. Take your pick. Now have you heard of anyone in Congress say they can’t wait to take part in the government health care? Of course not, since they will not be a participant. Criminals will never legislate against themselves. You don’t expect them to give up their plans. Congress will never pass a law that would screw them but the voters that elected them is a different story. After all, they have been doing that for nearly a hundred years.

A Secular Society?

A Secular Society?

Secularism is a word that we have heard now for many years. There is a move in this country to move away from religion to the state being the new God. This has been the direction that some people want to country to move into for nearly 80 years. These individuals, or non-believers for want of a better term, realize that religion is and has been the stumbling block for implementation of their plans. At present religious organizations provide roadblocks to their program. Mussolini tried this in the 20’s and 30’s but the Catholic Church pushed back and he had to abandon his plans. (Fascism for those who don’t know) You see, without religion providing the moral fabric to society we wind up with a godless society where programs of abortion, euthanasia and eugenics can prosper. If one was to read the bible you would see that God promised the Jews a land flowing with milk and honey and the only requirement was to continue adoration to God. As the bible shows, as long as the Jews followed this teaching their country had tremendous prosperity and defeated all enemies great and small. However, when they turned away from God, ignored God and paid adoration to idols and false gods, they suffered military defeat, occupation and disease. We are also or where a great country that was a light to the world where immigrants came in droves to enter this country where they were free and could become anything as long as they worked at it. We were founded under Judeo/Christian principles and these principles have been under attack for many years. We cannot pray in schools or public institutions of wear any type of clothing that may have any religion words or phrases in public buildings since somebody will be offended. We have seen a push for political correctness and so called correcting of history. Correcting history to fit a political ideology was done in Germany in the 20’s and 30’s and the former Soviet Union. Of course if history of this great country is even taught anymore. When people grow up without knowing the history of the country they live in, then they become ripe for the pickings when fed false information. We see that today in what some call the dumbing down of America. And unfortunately, these people vote. They believe what they are told without reading or examining topics to find out the truth and the whole truth. As this country wanders down the path of secularism, and turn our backs on God, don’t expect us to survive as our founding fathers hoped. We must awaken and turn back to God and make God the center point of our life and country. Then we will see an amazing improvement in our country. Without God, we are a dying society.

Health Care

I do not want any representative to vote for any Health Care bill that this administration is going to attempt to push through Congress. Push through and hope Congress does not read as Congress had done previously. Anyone with half a brain knows that the reported 50 million people without health insurance is bogus. At least 10 to 15 million are illegals, millions more make enough money but have not taken out insurance. In all, according to most research (honest research) there are approximately 10 million people without insurance that cannot afford it. But then again why to we have city and county health departments. We could pump more money into these health departments to increase medical personnel that can provide needed services rather then spend Trillions on a plan similar to Canada and England that we know does not work. Of course, what we could do for those uninsured is to give them the same medical coverage enjoyed by Congress with the same payment schedule. We also know that if any uninsured goes to the hospital emergency room they must be treated. So to say that some people are not getting medical attention is false. It is there, one just have to take advantage of the services our taxpayer dollars are already paying for. Of course if you are illegal, then you will not go. The only place illegals should go is either jail or back where they came from. There are ways to come into this country legally and that is the only way. My father did it and so did his entire family and millions and millions after them up to today.

Stimulus and maybe more stimulus

I know that if I were to borrow and spend money I would not become rich, but eventually would have to file bankruptcy since my income would far exceed my expenses. This clearly indicates that one cannot spend themselves into prosperity. The same simple logic also applies to the Federal Government. These stimulus packages are following the same scenario as indicated above. The federal government cannot spend, spend and spend itself into the black. We have seen the last stimulus package, that by the way we had to rush into passing Congress, or we would have seen unemployment skyrocket and the economy go deeper into recession. Well, unemployment has passed the projected 8% that Obama had threatened it would go to if the stimulus was not passed. It is now at 9.5% and the administration now indicates it will exceed 10%. Does this administration and Congress actually believe the voters are that dumb that we would keep quiet while they attempt to pass another stimulus. And, oh by the way we have only spent approximately 15% of this stimulus so far with most to be spent in the year 2012. This logic escapes me but then again I am not in Congress. Now I know why Congress votes to approve bills they don’t read because the logic escapes them also, but we must support our party and screw the country. Party first.

Interesting prediction from the 1930”s

J.T. Flynn a former journalist of the 1930’s and anti-FDR was convinced that the New Deal was a fascist enterprise. He predicted that proponents of the New Deal and its successors would become addicted to crises to maintain power and implement their agendas. He stated of the New Deal: “It is born in crisis, lives on crisis and cannot survive the era of crisis. By the very law of its nature it must create for itself, if it is to continue, fresh crisis from year to year. Mussolini came to power in the post war crisis (WWI) and became himself a crisis in Italian life….. Hitler’s story is the same. And our future is charted out upon the same turbulent road of permanent crisis. So Flynn stated.

And now it seems our present administration seems to perpetuate one crisis after another. If we don’t pass this stimulus we will have a job crisis and if we don’t pass this bill we will have a global warming crisis etc.

Calvin Coolidge Speech that applies today

On July 5, 1926, in a speech in Philadelphia commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, President Calvin Coolidge reminded Americans of the importance of this document. Part of his speech is below and it is interesting that although he was speaking 83 years ago, what it says actually applies to today.

“No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren scepter in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped.”
