If you’ve been watching the mainstream media you’d think that all of the town hall meetings are staged. Yes, those rabid conservatives are orchestrating events and feigning outrage at the Obama healthcare plan.   In fact, the only legitimate town hall meeting was the one held by Obama, where pleasantries were exchanged and even the most diehard opponents of socialized medicine had an epiphany and now support the concept marginalized care and death panels run by government bureaucrats. 

So, as usual we have to examine the facts that the liberal media won’t investigate.   Last week Nancy Pelosi called anyone against socialized medicine un-American and referred to them as Nazis. Conveniently a swastika appears at the offices of Georgia Democrat David Scott.   Coincidence? I think not. I wonder if Pelosi and her ilk have been shopping in the paint section at Home Depot lately.

In Michigan there was a downhill attendee carrying an “Obama as Hitler” sign who it turns out was a union plant, out to shed negative light on those who support freedom and liberty. Check out the video yourself.

Liberals are on a mission and will use any and every tool available to deceive the American people into giving up more of their rights.   All the while, the single biggest thing that could fix healthcare isn’t even on the table. If liberals really wanted meaningful change, don’t you think they’d be discussing tort reform and putting an end to the frivolous lawsuits that continue to drive up medical costs.   Then again, liberals don’t care about you, only about power which comes in large part from the campaign contributions of trial lawyers.   Are you starting to see a pattern here. 

The anger that we are seeing is very real and it is only a tiny fraction of the true sentiment present in the productive segment of our population.   There is a reason we are called the silent majority. The anger is reaching levels never before seen in our country and will likely spill into the streets eventually.   Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat controlled Congress are an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to our nation. The Republicans who sit idly by and do nothing aren’t far behind.   Where’s the real leadership in Washington? 

Historically speaking, wars have been fought over much less than destroying one fifth of an economy.   The liberals have reached too far and the oppression and name calling of white Americans has gone on too long.   Perhaps people are finally waking up from their American Idol induced stupor and realizing that those Fox News babes have been right all along.  

Unfortunately things are going to get worse, much worse.   Unemployment will continue to rise with inflation coming down the pike as the result of ridiculous amounts of monetized government debt.   With that will come Carteresque interest rates and an increase in home foreclosures.   For those that didn’t take Economics 101 Obama is creating the greatest economic disaster that our nation has ever seen. How’s that for change you can count on…

It was such a joy to watch Obama and Biden, supposedly the leaders of the strongest nation on earth, enjoy a staged, cold beer photo op with Professor Gates and Sgt. Crowley.    So while Iran and North Korea are busy formulating plans to end the world as we know it, our fearless leader nurses a lukewarm beer with a police officer, who just one week ago, was being categorized as stupid? Maybe  I missed something here, but don’t we have more pressing issues facing our society?  Perhaps it is Obama that is acting stupidly.

My guess is that this is just a Clintonesque ploy by Team Obama to take attention away from his insidious government healthcare proposals that won’t do a damn thing for you or I other than robbing us of more money which will be used to give another freebie to those who are too lazy to work for a living. 

In the meantime, Der Fuhrer Pelosi was busy on the hill demonizing insurance companies, calling them “villains”. The first thing that we all need to remember is that a villain is a person, an insurance company is a corporate entity which is a legal structure that does not have any type of personality; good or bad.  Then again, Pelosi is simply out to stoke the class warfare fires in the name of power.  What we all need to realize is that just like liberals, there are good and bad in the insurance industry.   However, liberals seem to be missing the point that the single biggest thing that can be done to stem the rising cost of insurance is to cap frivolous litigation with meaningful tort reform. 

I wonder why it is that those who liberals view as simpletons, like you and I (again, people who work for a living and therefore don’t vote for liberals) can solve the healthcare problem in a simple blog, for a fraction of the cost being proposed by Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy and the rest of the seditious left?

In addition to tort reform, we need to ban all medical care for illegal aliens.   If you are here illegally and get sick or get hurt, tough. You are breaking the law and perhaps your agony will serve as a deterrent to the rest of the gate crashing criminals.   To you pansies on the left, this isn’t cold or mean spirited; it is common sense. If you want healthcare, then get in line, come here legally, get a job and pay for healthcare like the rest of us.  Perhaps this risk will serve as a future deterrent from you returning to our land without permission.

Are there things the insurance carriers could do? Certainly.   In exchange for tort reform which will benefit them immensely, they could work to ensure that all policies are portable, pre-existing conditions are covered and contracts are clearly and unambiguously worded so the general public knows what they are receiving.   The government needs to help these initiatives along but giving a 100% tax credit to all insurance policies and medical costs incurred by policyholders.  Hey, if we have billions of dollars to spend to buy back clunkers, there's plenty of cash to do this. If there's not, then get the cash by cutting out worthless entitlement and welfare programs.

In addition to medical reform, we need drug reform. The FDA needs to cut the red tape so that pharmaceutical companies can get drugs to market faster.   The government needs to repeal all laws regarding purchasing drugs from other countries, as this will increase competition and drive down prices.   Pharmaceuticals need to stop passing their advertising costs onto consumers. Look, if you want to advertise feel free, but don’t pass along the costs of your lobbying efforts for genital enhancing drugs to me.   Lastly, let generics be developed within 12 months of name brands.  

As for the lawyers out there, they need to step up to help out.   If you have a legitimate medical malpractice case, fine; use the power of the courts to sue.   However, if you pursue a frivolous suit then you will be held personally liable.   The reality is that the types of people who pursue frivolous lawsuits are generally of the same caliber of person who voted for Obama.   They don’t have jobs, they don’t have money and are simply opportunists looking for a quick buck. Attorney’s need to be held accountable for their catering to this type of clientele.   If they pursue frivolous cases then they will be responsible for paying back the insurance companies.   Certainly the folks on the Hill won’t like this because many of them are either lawyers or in the pockets of the Trial Lawyers Association.  

Simply put, what has been laid out here will do exponentially more than ANYTHING the power mongering liberals will be able to do in Washington. Then again, this is why liberals hate facts.
