Here's to the Future of Government Run Healthcare

 

Your local DMV has just been surpassed by the employees at Los Angeles International Airport in terms of sheer incompetence.   It’s no secret that government employees in general lack the skills needed to hold down real jobs, but at LAX they take this to a whole new level.  

Having spent my morning at what can only be described as the worst run airport in the nation, I will now recount my tale of woe as I stood in security lines at the mercy of the products of the California public schools.   I actually wonder if there is any employee, anywhere within LAX, that did not vote for Barack Obama.   The only silver lining with LAX is that those employed would otherwise be living on welfare in the projects of Inglewood. Then again, it can be argued that working for the government is tantamount to being on welfare.

Being familiar with the airport, one that I vow time and time again to never fly through, I planned my day carefully and arrived ninety minutes early only to find an equally long wait in the security lines.   Mind you, this isn’t like a normal airport where you have one security line, but rather multiple lines where you check your bag, after you have already checked your bag.   Yes, you check your bag twice after you check in twice.  Hey, it’s California and keeping those union employees on the payroll is job number one. 

Since the first government employee was too busy with the bags he already had, I was sent clear across the terminal to another government employee who was busy rambling away in Espanol with his co-worker.   So much for those laws that require English only in the workplace, passed by a large majority of California voters.  

Using common sense, I gave him my bag and went to the closest escalator to ascend to the next security line.   Big mistake as the Obama voting TSA agent informed me that I would have to go to the other line, back at the other end of the terminal by the first baggage check in.   At least I think this is what she said, but subtitles would have helped as I have never taken Ebonics as a second language.

So back I went only to find that there were three separate lines being manned by yet another government bureaucrat who I am most certain couldn’t count to three.   I finally got to the front of the line only to find that the guard on duty was on break and a sign was posted saying she would return in five minutes.   This, my friends, is the future of government run healthcare.

Socialism Withering on the Vine in Europe

 

It must be really bad when the Treason Times puts out an article entitled “Europe’s Socialists Suffering Even in Downturn”.   In their worst performance in Germany since the 1940’s, the socialist party got just 23% of the vote.   Could it be that the idiot electorate is finally beginning to realize that the Great Recession of today was caused by socialist policies including excessive taxation, regulation and nanny state oversight?

Even in nanny state France, the breadbasket of euro-weenies, the direction of the country is moving to the right.   Ditto for England, Italy and Spain and eventually right here in the United States. I have to admit it is an uphill battle, as those of us with common sense are constantly having to fight the lies of the mainstream media and Hollywood elite.   It’s not possible to hold a conversation based on fact and logic with liberals, because liberals are inherently illogical and more often than not suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome.  

Perhaps things are about to change, and not the kind of change that bankrupts our nation for generations to come.   Even the left most polls are showing that Obama’s popularity is now below 50%.   Consider that the likes of AP typically poll Democrats at a rate of about 2 to 1.   They also skew their polling to places like California, New York and Kenya where Obama remains popular.

In zip codes where people work for a living, Obama’s popularity is below 30%.   The popularity of Congress is even lower, hovering in the teens. Watching the evening news one would not think that this administration was doing anything wrong.   The likes of CNN and the alphabet networks do everything in their power to sugarcoat any publicity that may be bad for Obama and the liberal/socialist agenda.   They have to; after all he was their creation, manufactured like a 21st century version of Weird Science.

The truth is that socialism has been withering on the vine since its inception.   It was a failure in the U.S.S.R. and across Europe. It has failed in Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea. Even in China, the socialist leaders have adopted capitalist principles.   So what’s the liberal answer? How about having Michael Moore create an anti-capitalist movie which will be nothing more than the latest sequel in his science fiction series.  

Socialism will always fail because you cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.   You can’t effectively take from the producers and give the entitlement class without causing a revolution, which is where we are headed.   Hopefully this will go no further than the ballot box, but liberals throughout history and across the globe are notorious for rigging elections to retain power, so who knows what will ultimately occur.  Will America become a banana republic reminiscent of Nicaragua and Chicago, or will sanity prevail with liberals being cast aside. 

What we do know is that the people who matter in America, the producers of goods and services, are not happy.   These are the very small business owners being punished by the Obama agenda of tax increases who in turn are forced to lay off employees.   These are the people who buy durable goods, but no longer can afford them.   Ultimately something has to give, and apparently the Washington establishment doesn’t appear willing to discuss steps that we can take to fix what they have broken.  

Stay tuned, because the next year could get very interesting if liberals don’t wake up to rising sentiment of anger amongst real Americans.

The Fourth Reich?

 

Education in the Third Reich served to indoctrinate students with the National Socialist world view. Nazi scholars and educators glorified Nordic and other “Aryan” races, while denigrating Jews and other so-called inferior peoples as parasitic “bast@rd races” incapable of creating culture or civilization. After 1933, the Nazi regime purged the public school system of teachers deemed to be Jews or to be “politically unreliable.” Most educators, however, remained in their posts and joined the National Socialist Teachers League. 97% of all public school teachers, some 300,000 persons, had joined the League by 1936. In fact, teachers joined the Nazi Party in greater numbers than any other profession.

So let’s examine what is happening today, as our education system glorifies mediocrity while denigrating people deemed to be “too white” or "too successful". Just as many teachers in Nazi Germany joined the National Socialist Teachers League, many teachers in America today belong to the National Socialist Education Association.   In a strikingly eerie parallel to teachers affinity for the Nazi Party, today in America they overwhelmingly join the Democrat party.   While some of their views differ, in particular on which race is viewed to be superior, the important similarity is that both espoused an agenda of socialism and intolerance for dissenting opinion. 

While the Hitler youth were often focused on being race conscious, today’s youth are focused on being issue conscious with anti-white undertones.   The Germans were indoctrinated to be self sacrificing to the Fuhrer and the Fatherland while the government school children of today must give up their souls in the name of abortion, homosexuality, global warming and political correctness.

In Nazi Germany, schools played an important role in spreading Nazi ideas to German youth. While censors removed some books from the classroom, German educators introduced new textbooks that taught students love for Hitler and obedience to state authority in much the same way that our teachers today seek to censor Fox News while promoting centralized government and obedience to Obama, who is planning his own speech to our impressionable youth next Tuesday; again reminiscent of the rise of the Third Reich. 

While Hitler ranks up at the top of the evil people in world history it is important to remember that he was elected by the masses, as was the case with Obama in 2008.   He worked methodically with other elected leaders to impose centralization of much of the German economy just as Obama has done with the banks and auto industry.   He used his legislative allies to silence dissent just as we see today with Pelosi’s Congress attempting to silence free speech with the Fairness Doctrine and mandated unionization with card check.   When there was a dispute, the German socialists resorted to their allies in the judiciary in much the same manner that we are witnessing by domestic liberals of today.  

It is often said that history repeats itself.  The question is just how far Obama will go down the beaten path of socialism which has failed the world over.   At what point will American people say enough is enough? At what point will we rise up against the trampling of our rights and the discrimination by the minority against the majority?   Perhaps only time will tell, but as a society we better wake up before it is too late.   Remember, the average life expectancy of a free society is 200 years, so our expiration date is well overdue.

No More Room in British Hospitals...Babies being born in cars and toilets.

 

As liberals in Congress look to places like Britain for guidance in socializing medicine the state run media is conspicuously absent in their coverage of just what this would mean for Americans.   According to the U.K. Daily Mail more than 4,000 babies are born annually in hospital elevators, corridors and even toilets due to hospital overcrowding and bed shortages.    Even worse, there was a recent case of a Brit who collapsed from appendicitis three weeks after the NHS removed his appendix! Yes, this is the future of Obamacare.

The very term Obamacare is an oxymoron because Obama cares nothing about you or I but rather of his narcissistic quest for power and control.   Obama could care less if babies are born in elevators or toilets as long as he enslaves the masses with entitlements, better known as legalized bribes for votes.  

Obama is not alone in this quest for power, as it is an addiction suffered by all liberals whose view of government compares to a junkies view of heroin.    In fact those who don’t subscribe to their totalitarian views are often ridiculed and cajoled as being uncaring, selfish or even Nazis. Interestingly, the rise of Hitler came on the heels of socialism in Germany…then again you wouldn’t expect liberals to know the facts. 

Now with the death of Teddy Kennedy will come a renewed effort to implement socialized medicine in his name.   If you have insurance now, don’t worry, you can keep that policy and pay for another policy for someone less fortunate which is precisely how this charade will work.   If you get insurance through your employer, this will be taxed as income.   If you own a small business expect an increase in your premium in the form of a surcharge.   For those with no insurance you can count on another freebie. Just like you get your weekly dole to spend on malt liquor, crack and porn you will now be rewarded with free, no deductible, no copay healthcare.   All you have to do is sign your life away to the government and fill out your election ballots as instructed by ACORN. 

This is the unfortunate truth of the times in which we live where the stupid outnumber the intelligent, the uninformed outnumber the informed and those who get their news from Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine and the Communist News Network outnumber those who know what is really going on. 

The question is just how far can liberals go before there is an uprising? Liberals and their union thugs have destroyed our government schools, decimated our inner cities and gutted domestic manufacturing.   They are now diligently working to wipe out our financial and automotive industries.   The mere fact that the word government and healthcare are used in the same sentence should send up red flags as government does nothing right.   The truth is that we could fire 99% of all non military government personnel and our nation would be better off than we are today.  

Should you be scared? Of course, unless your goal is to live in a government theocracy which is where we are headed.   I use the word theocracy because liberalism is a cult like religion with leadership that views themselves in a God like way.   Liberals believe that they are superior to those of us who work for a living.   They view us as a never ending checkbook used to bankroll entitlements for the underclass that they have created by design.   What they don’t seem to recognize is that socialism always fails because the money always runs out.  

What can we do? Get involved. Get active in your local political party and work to throw every member of Congress who supports socialism out.   Get rid of any member of the opposition who hasn’t vocally opposed the direction of our country.   Recruit local leaders who have a track record of success in supporting economic freedom and individual liberty to run for Congress.   We can take back our nation and it’s not (yet) too late to do it at the ballot box in 2010.

Liberals Once Again Show Their True Colors

 

It appears that the Congressional Liberals, our very own domestic version of the Taliban, are going to ram through a public (socialist) healthcare option despite rising opposition. Why not; they have an entire underclass of unproductive citizen’s whose votes must be bought before the mid-term elections. 

The GOP is smart to steer clear of this one, as socialized medicine has failed in all corners of the globe. Just like the rest of the Marxist agenda being pursued inside the beltway, this is doomed to fail as well.  

What liberals fail to realize is that the government does nothing right; and government is not the salvation of anything. To the contrary, whatever the government touches ultimately implodes. Be it the debt ridden post office, bankrupt social security or the failing medicare program, everything runs in the red.   If you want to get a glimpse at the future of our government run hospitals I suggest taking a drive through your local government run housing projects.   For a preview of the lines in the emergency rooms head down the DMV.   To get an idea of the caliber of your medical doctors, wait in line at the DMV until you get a chance to go to the counter.  

Then again, this isn’t about you or I. It’s about power and votes. It does appear that some of the Jim Jones Obamabots are finally waking up from their state run media induced stupor to the reality of a culture of corruption never before seen outside of Central American banana republics right in their own backyards.

In the liberal worldview, socialized medicine is important. It ranks right up there with state run media and industry because it brings the Marxist utopia one step closer to reality. For those of us with common sense and an understanding of history, we know that it brings the tyranny of Marxism one step closer as well.  

The key now is to keep up the pressure on Congress.   While the GOP, and the few true conservatives that still remain in the party, can’t derail this disaster they can be vocal dissidents. They can focus their energy on becoming as obstructionist as possible and urging their constituents to do the same.   At the end of the day, when this house of cards comes crashing down, they can then say “I told you so” just as we have successfully done with every other liberal utopian ideal.   

So as Obama’s popularity plummets and the public outcry over socialized medicine becomes fiercer, liberals will finally be showing their true colors. Their actions, in the face of mounting opposition, speak volumes of their true un-American intent.   Remember, to them the Constitution is a mere inconvenience to be addressed by liberal activist jurists.   The electorate is nothing more than a nuisance to be controlled by ACORN proctors in polling places. Ah yes, Stalin, Hitler, Lenin and Marx must be beaming at the success their protégés are having on Capitol Hill.

The Sheeple Are Having Doubts About Their Messiah

 

I do believe that many of the sheeple in our midst are waking up from their Obama kool aid induced stupor to the reality that their chosen one really doesn’t walk on water.   I wonder how long it will take the Obama administration to start banning the airing of footage from the recent town hall meetings where a clearly riled up public is attacking Democrats on what has become a daily basis.

It seems that many of those who voted for Obama are realizing the truth to the old adage “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.” For many of us, Obama was always viewed as being nothing more than the consummate politician who used the clout of the corrupt Chicago political machine to climb his way to power.   Many couldn’t see through his charade or simply were so disenchanted with George W. Bush, largely the result of media lies, that they would have voted for Osama Bin Laden if he were on the ballot. 

The reality is that Obama has done more to damage our nation in six months than most Presidents’ could do in an entire term, including Jimmy Carter! Our Nancy Pelosi/Harry Reid run Congress is wasting money like drunken sailors on everything from condoms for kindergartners to a clunker cash for Asian imports program.    Despite waging a war on Islamic fascism, the liberals now want to bring terrorists into our own back yards so we can sing kumbaya at Sunday barbecues.   However, you can forget the charcoal because that causes global warming, so cozy up to the picnic table for some tofu and sprouts. Oh, and that picnic table better not be from Wal-Mart; at least not until they force a public vote that mandates unionization. 

If you are not utterly sickened by what is transpiring in Washington, D.C., then you are part of the problem. Never in our history have we had elected leaders with so little regard for our nation and such blatant disrespect for our citizen’s. Our liberal leaders view  most (read majority) of our population as being stupid, which is precisely how they have gained their power in Washington.   As for the rest of us, liberals just plain hate us because we work for a living and see through their nonsensical nanny state agenda. 

The question is whether the constituents’ that put liberals in power will wake up before the next election? Fortunately the Democrat base has low voter efficacy and in most years won’t bother to pull themselves away from Jerry Springer long enough to cast a ballot.  That all changed with Obama, who used the thugs in ACORN to rig elections in cities from coast to coast, rendering voter turnout impotent. 

Now with ACORN set to run the census, we can pretty much be assured that the validity of our elections will lie somewhere between Iran and Venezuela.   But we have to remember that those of us with common sense still control vast expanses of the economy and it is up to us to fix what Obama and his cronies have created.   It will not be easy, but it can be done. It is critical that we get out en masse to not only vote, but to educate our ill informed friends who still fail to see through the façade of their messiah.  

Tyranny always fails and it will fail here, but remember it is up to us to ensure that we regain our economic freedom and individual liberties that many have surrendered to the federal government.

McCain Wins

 

Since headlines from New York to Los Angeles are already emboldened with huge OBAMA WINS headlines, I figured this would be the right time to declare just the opposite.   Clearly the folks at the Treason Times and Clinton News Network have their own agenda; one of poverty and despair, for this is what their news stories are made of.   My own agenda is one of rugged individualism, success and achievement, three very bad words in the Obama/liberal dictionary. 

My belief is that this election is not over until it is over. Most certainly B. Hussein Obama has wrapped up the votes of the young, the dumb and the uninformed.   However, we cannot lose sight of the fact that many of his supports are, in fact, too dumb to find their way to the polls. Think hanging chads and you'll know what I'm talking about. 

Early voting results are suspiciously lacking in the so called “young” vote. Sure, they support Obama but after their college induced hangovers wear off tomorrow will they actually go vote? Certainly Obama has the vote of uneducated minorities and whites, but will they go vote? Many have never voted before, so will they buck the trend and wait in long lines to cast their ballot for their messiah who has promised to pay their mortgages and fill their gas tanks?   Will they have voter’s remorse when he goes back on those promises? 

This brings us to the uninformed who either won’t accept or do not know that Obama counts as his mentors Franklin Davis Marshall, an avowed communist, William Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist and Jeremiah Wright, a hatemongering, anti-America, racist preacher.   You know, the guy of Goddamn America and the U.S. of KKK A. fame.   The same Reverend Wright who has given anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award. 

In breaking news, Obama has now stated that he will singlehandedly bankrupt the coal industry. This isn’t news that the folks in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia will be particularly happy to hear. But hey, now his wife can be proud of her nation for the second time in her adult life.  

I think this election will be close and my guess is we may have a few surprises.    Obama is allegedly enjoying a ten point lead in Pennsylvania, before his anti-coal comments.   There are a number of undecided voters who aren’t sold on the destruction of America that is inevitable under Obama.  

The pundits are all certain that Virginia, New Mexico and Colorado will go to Obama.   These are all red states, but given the increase in illegal aliens who ACORN has managed to get registered in the latter two I am certain they will go blue this time around.   Virginia, another reliably red state, has been polluted with an increase in government workers over the past four years.   These people tend to be somewhat intelligent but have the worldview of a two year old who rely on the teat of Mother Government for their paychecks, so it is plausible that it goes blue as well. But if McCain can eek out PA, it’s all over.   The media will have egg on their face and I will write a column entitled I Told You So.  

In the meantime, it’s up to you to get out and vote.   If you live in Ohio, Pennsylvania or Florida it is particularly important.   If you have undecided friends, sway them to vote for McCain because the future of our nation hangs in the balance.   Then again, if you are undecided at this late date you probably haven’t been paying attention to the facts that have been so well hidden and distorted by the biased Obamamania media.

4th Grader Suspended for Possession of Pencil Sharpener

 

Always on the alert, the Pansy Patrol has found their way to Hilton Head, S.C., where a 4th grader was suspended for being in possession of a pencil sharpener.   Apparently pencil sharpeners contain razor blades which is against the district’s zero tolerance police. 

Sure, pass out condoms in the lunch line and permit socialist government teachers to rape the minds of our youth but heaven forbid a child try to sharpen their pencil.   The punishment for this crime is a two day suspension with additional penalties being considered by the school board. 

According to district spokesman Randy Wall, speaking on behalf of Hilton Head Island International Baccalaureate Elementary School, the district is stuck in a precarious situation between their zero tolerance of having weapons at school and common sense.   No, sir, you are stuck between having no common sense and complete idiocy, for which the school district is receiving the latest Golden Pansy Award.

The reason I often mention our Pansy Award winners is because their actions reflect a greater cause for concern brought forth by the Democrat Party and liberals in general.   This entire concept of zero tolerance was introduced by liberals who did not want to be accountable for making tough decisions. Look, if you bring an AK 47 to school you should be expelled, but a pencil sharpener or a couple of Tylenol? This is where our tax dollars are being spent and why it is so critical that we bust up the government monopoly on schools.

Emasculated pansy like behavior, otherwise known as political correctness, is one of the greatest threats to our freedom.   B. Hussein Obama, who apparently is enjoying an 80% approval rating in the Middle East, wants to create an environment that would foster more of this Marxism.   John McCain and Sarah Palin have taken a clear stand on the side of freedom, which is the natural enemy of political correctness. 

It is incumbent upon us, as the purveyors of common sense in our society, to make Americans understand that their vote goes well beyond the rhetoric of empty suits speaking in front of Greco facades in football stadiums.   This is about the future of our nation and what we leave behind for our children.   It is about more than one’s position on the War on Terror or what color lipstick we put on a pig. 

We are a republic of law, not a democracy of man, as liberals would have you believe. The approval rating of Obama in Germany has no bearing on the outcome of our election, as the mainstream media would have you believe.   It is up to you and I to do our job of electing electors who will cast their votes in the Electoral College, which is how presidents are chosen in this land.   We have a civic responsibility to take this challenge seriously and to educate those less informed than us of the gravity of the situation at hand.  

B. Hussein Obama has the most liberal voting record in the Senate, Joe Biden is #3.   This type of extremism is what has brought about bans on dodge ball and tag in schools. This is why we have banned the Bible but permit programs like Campus Condoms for Kids.   Obama promotes sex education for kindergartners but not the death penalty for child rapists.   Ebonics education, promotion of homosexual curriculum and abortions in the school nurses office are what liberals mean when talk of giving more power to government schools.  

As a nation we need to take our schools back and the only way to achieve this is to keep liberals out of office. We need to elect people that understand the failure of government, who can put forth an alternative system that puts parents in charge of tuition tax dollars.   Perhaps now you see that our attacks of pansies, while on the surface may be somewhat silly, they actually have a much deeper meaning as the sinister behavior enabled by liberals is precisely what is undermining our nation.
