The Real Fix for Healthcare

 

In the most recent AP poll taken yesterday, 52% of Americans are against the Obama/Democrat healthcare plan.   So what does Obama do? He speaks to a joint session of Congress and the American public with one of his most partisan speeches to date.   He ridicules the prior administration for cutting taxes and creating jobs while completely ignoring the fact that his economic policy has doubled unemployment since he took office. He pays lip service to tort reform and competition; the two things that could actually lower health insurance costs. Worse yet, he outright lied about what was contained in the 1000+ page document. 

The highlight of the Obama speech was Republican Congressman Joe Wilson who stood up and said, “You lie,” when it was suggested that the bill wouldn’t provide care to illegal aliens.   All the while, Nancy Pelosi could be seen glaring with her aging, hollow eyed hippy, hate filled eyes while Michelle Obama, still not proud of her country, sat idly by shaking her head wondering how someone could dare challenge the messiah.  As it turns out, Wilson is right and Obama did lie.   The unfortunate thing is that Wilson actually apologized for what he characterized as uncivil behavior. The truth is that we need more like Congressman Wilson and we need them to shout from the mountaintops about the every increasing frequency of lies coming out of this administration.  

Watching the speech was like watching an infomercial trying to sell an unwitting audience on losing weight while never leaving their couch.   It is utterly amazing that Obama continues to state that we can all have government healthcare without raising the deficit by one dime.   Right; and I’ve got a few bridges to sell you. The facts just don’t mesh with the rhetoric coming from the Obama administration that has yet to spell out any measures that will be taken to cut costs.

In reviewing this bill (something the mainstream media has yet to do) the fact remains that the government option creates 53 new bureaucracies, all more unaccountable than the ones that exist today.   Obama talked about fixing the problems in Medicare and Medicaid, which have become a cross generational disaster. The bottom line is that he has an agenda which is to create his legacy proving once again that he is more narcissist than president.   He could care less about any one of us, but he must do something to get the egg off of his face in the wake of his poll numbers falling like a rock.  

Proving that he could care less about you or I or especially the aging, he continues to be dogged by the language of Section 1233 which states that advanced care planning consultation shall include five year reviews of options or more frequent for the terminally ill. While they are not called death panels, a review with your doctor of options on sustainability of life could be construed to be just that if the government is forced to ration healthcare, as is the case in every other nation with socialized medicine. 

If government is to provide care with no cost increases to anyone then rationing will be required. They will have to cut expenditures which will be a line item in the annual budget. In other words, bureaucrats will have to make life and death decisions.  

The fact remains that our nation cannot support socialized medicine, which has failed in every nation on earth.   Nor should we.    The bigger issues are the underlying problems in our existing system where competition has become increasingly limited and doctors increasingly scarce due to over regulation and frivolous lawsuits.   In one sentence I will do what Obama and the entire Congress has failed to do. Create competition by allowing carriers to compete over state lines and enact tort reform with loser pay laws. If it’s that simple, why don’t we do it? Ask the unions, trial lawyers and illegal immigration advocates to whom Democrats are beholden.

Taking Back our Nation One Student at a Time

 

It’s a pretty sad state of affairs for Obama when government school officials in Wisconsin are refusing to air the messiah’s indoctrination speech this coming Tuesday.   I would expect this from, say Texas; where common sense prevails.   The fact is that there are a great number of school districts who are saying enough is enough and opting out of the airing of this broadcast. 

Clearly this has Obama once again reeling, not knowing what him square between the eyes.   “What, even kids don’t like me?” That’s right, even kids..well at least intelligent kids, are learning at home of your true anti-American agenda. Yes, being a socialist does make you un-American.   Hanging out in the living room of terrorist Bill Ayers does make you un-American. Having a pastor for 20 years decry what an evil and racist nation America is does make you un-American. Heck, you haven’t even proven that you were born in America.  

It’s not that kids shouldn’t get to hear both sides of issues, it’s the forum in which the other side is being presented.   Obama intentionally picked a date and time when most children would be separated from their parents.   This is indoctrination, plain and simple. 

Having witnessed the Obamanation of an administration for the past six months it is evident that he is first and foremost a narcissist.   Second, he is on an unbridled power trip enabled by a radically left wing Congress and an out of control judiciary.   Third, he is willing to forsake the safety, security and liberty of productive Americans in the name of a Marxist agenda. Yes, the concept of cap and trade, Fairness Doctrine, socialized medicine, centralization of industry and card check are all rooted in Marxist-socialist ideology.  

Just as the tea parties served as rallying points for real Americans to stand up and voice their concerns over the direction of our nation, this school indoctrination speech is doing the same.   Millions of parents are calling and writing schools demanding that this propaganda not be aired.   In Texas, parents are storming administration buildings in protest (thank God there is one sane state left…). 

For most parents, it’s not an issue of listening to differing views but rather how this is being rammed down our throats by the imperialist federal government at a time when Obama’s poll numbers are falling like a rock.   It’s manipulation, plain and simple.   Given his track record of undermining capitalism, permitting our children to listen as a captive audience to Obama would be tantamount their having to sit through Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Marx, Castro, Chavez or worse yet Pelosi as they spew their anti-capitalist rhetoric. 

It’s high time the little guys, many of whom were completely duped in the last election, are standing up for their rights.   It’s time that we take back our nation, hopefully peacefully.   If that doesn’t work then I’ll be the first to say I’m glad I live in the south where common sense and real American values prevail and it’s not a crime to salute the flag or say God Bless the U.S.A.

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.

The Reincarnation of the Hitler Youth?

 

In 1933 a wildly popular leader used the power of propaganda to indoctrinate millions of children.  His name was Adolph Hitler and we know the rest of the story. Next Tuesday, another wildly popular leader (at least among the young, the dumb and the uninformed) will use propaganda to indoctrinate an entire generation of children. His name is Barack Hussein Obama and we haven’t a clue how this story will turn out. 

According to the liberal media the message of the messiah will be for children to stay in school and strive to do well.   If this is the real message then my suggestion is that Obama focus this speech on those schools attended by the children of his constituents which tend to be in lower income, Democrat ravaged, inner cities for we have no use for this waste of time in schools attended by the children of productive Americans. 

I have no intention of permitting my children to witness a leader whose true intentions are not known. Since entering office, each and every move has been an orchestrated effort to undermine our economic freedom and individual liberties.    He has put our nation at risk of attack by the very terrorists he coddles and has endangered our future generations security by putting us on the road to bankruptcy. 

The mere fact that he is a protégé of communist Franklin Davis Marshall and terrorist William Ayers should scare the living daylights out of every American with common sense.   He is seeking to socialize 1/6th of our nation’s economy in a never ending quest by liberal elites to create a permanent underclass from whom the elitists can use to retain power. 

The Department of Education has drawn up special projects for children to complete after worshipping at the altar of the messiah.   My guess is those children who disobey will quickly be subject to persecution by their government school administrators for not complying with what can only be compared to the 21st century version of the Hitler Youth Brigades.  

Obama has yet to say anything meaningful to the masses, so is this his attempt to regain some of his popularity?   As his poll numbers fall into the abyss, is this an attempt to salvage some support from the most vulnerable in our society whom he hopes can influence parents at home; who for the most part are ignoring his lies and biased rhetoric? 

Perhaps the patriotic thing to do is keep our children home and use the time to educate them about the true agenda of domestic liberals who rank as the greatest enemies of the United States.   Some will say that our children should be exposed to the Obama propaganda as part of the education process, which would be a valid argument in a society where civics was actually part of an unbiased educational system.   However, our society has devolved to new lows with the complicity of liberal government educators and liberal leaders in their attempts to indoctrinate our youth into socialist ideology.  

The movement by liberals to undermine academia by liberals goes back at least 40 years.   As many radicals, such as Obama mentor Saul Alinsky believe, it is better to destroy and institution from within than from the outside.   Even Obama pal Bill Ayers learned that there were more effective ways to undermine our nation than blowing up the Pentagon.  

There is no question that Obama has a hidden agenda for this speech which we are witnessing as his narcissistic onion continues to get peeled back.   We can now clearly see that he views himself, and the role of government, as taking precedent over that of the parents.   The question now is just how many parents will voluntarily subject their children to what can only be described as the raping of the minds of our youth.

I See Said the Blind Man

 

First it was dodgeball, then it was tag, then it was banning red pens to grade students papers. Now liberals have launched a ban on touching. Yes, according to New York’s WCBS, students in the Glen Cove government indoctrination centers will be prohibited from touching when school starts next week. Only in the bluest of blue states could such an asinine proposition be set forth. 

According to New York Health officials the no touch policy is a way to reduce the spread of the swine flu. Why not just postpone the start of school until the media hype fades? Better yet, our emerging police state should consider banning talking, sneezing, coughing and breathing.  Then again they could just immunize the kids but that would entail using common sense.

Speaking of police states, you better watch out of you’re planning a garage sale. The Kansas City Star is reporting that the nanny state Obama Gestapo are out en masse enforcing a new federal law that bans the resale of certain goods at neighborhood garage sales.  Included in the list of items the imperial government has banned are Polly Pocket Dolls, Easy Bake Ovens and hooded draw string sweatshirts.   What next, mandates on the types of food we eat? Oh I almost forget, liberals have already banned transfats.

Vice President Cheney recently suggested that steps being taken by Obama, such as coddling prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and banning the term War on Terror, are making our nation more vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Apparently Team Obama isn’t too happy about being called to the mat, sending National Security Advisor Jim Jones out to challenge Cheney’s statements.   I couldn’t think of a more appropriate person than a guy named Jim Jones out to reassure the economically and socially blind, kool aid drinking public.  All the while Obama and his seditious liberals are celebrating the release of Abdul Ali al-Megrahi, the Libyan terrorist responsible for the Lockerbie plane disaster. 

Meanwhile, our own domestic terrorists, better known as Congressional liberals, are pushing back debate on their global warming bill, claiming that healthcare must take precedent.   Could this possibly be the result of the northern tier of states coming off their coldest summer in centuries which once again exposes the utter lunacy of the greatest hoax in the history of mankind? 

The silver lining amidst the ubiquitous failures of this administration is that Obama’s latest approval rating has slipped to 46% which translates into single digit support from those who actually work for a living.

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.

Obamanomics is Doomed to Failure...and that is a good thing!

 

It was bad enough when someone lacking the experience to be so much as a Wal-Mart greeter was installed by ACORN as president of the United States.   Now we have union thug Dennis Hughes, former head of the AFL-CIO, appointed (most likely payback for campaign contributions) as Chairman of the Federal Reserve for New York.  

How is it possible that so many completely unqualified people are being placed in positions of such great power and Responsibility? Remember, the AFL-CIO is largely to blame for our trade deficit and the moving of manufacturing jobs overseas.   This power hungry, mob controlled organization ranks right up there with the modern day Democrat Party in their culpability for the destruction of economic freedom and individual liberty in what was once the United States of America. 

All the while, Mr. Obama takes a vacation at a $35,000 dollar a day estate with the nation losing a war in Afghanistan and the economy in the tank.   I wonder if any of this will make CNN or will they be too busy extolling the virtues Obamanomics and Obamacare…which by the way are both destined to fail. 

It guess from the Obama perspective now is as good a time as any to get the hell out of Dodge as his poll numbers continue in a free fall rivaled only by Nancy Pelosi and her seditious alliance over on Capitol Hill. I wonder what part of enough is enough these self serving narcissists don’t get? Then again, this isn’t about us…it’s about them and their never ending quest for power and control over the dumb masses.

My guess is this reprieve from Washington will buy some time for Democrats to plot their course for ramming some form of socialized medicine through Congress on a party line vote.   Interestingly the AFL-CIO and other union thugs have resorted their ubiquitous intimidation tactics against Blue Dog Democrats who provide the only chance for derailing Marxist medicine in Congress. 

It appears that once again Obama has lied to the public as he steers the course of beltway dialogue away from bipartisanship, currying favor to lobbyists from radical, left wing organizations who are demanding more government in our lives.   Then again, those of us with intelligence (read those that did not vote for the messiah) knew that he never intended to govern from the center (another Obama lie) but rather from the far left as evidenced by his track record while acting as a puppet for Bill Ayers and ACORN. 

There is no doubt that the worst is yet to come, as government intervention in healthcare will doom us to a double dip recession.  With the CBO now stating that the Obama deficit is now headed to $9 TRILLION dollars there is no way that the nation under liberal leadership can survive.   This type of monetizing of debt will result in stagflation that would make even Jimmy Carter blush with envy.   It is highly likely that unemployment will hit 15% (30% among Obama voters) before all is said and done and within the next couple of years inflation will rear its ugly head as the Fed will be unable to use interest rates to control inflation due to nobody having jobs and credit remaining relatively tight.   Then again, this is all part of the liberal plan to create mass hysteria and ultimately dependency on the nanny state government.   Perhaps now is the time for everyone to say a prayer that Obama fail miserably because if he succeeds in his quest for power and control the nation that we once knew will cease to exist.

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.

What's In a Name...Especially if its driven by Racist Politics

 

There is a debate brewing in Dallas to rename government schools after Barack Obama and Sonia Sotomayor.   Forget the fact that schools should be named as tribute to those who have died. Forget the fact that schools should be named for those who have made meaningful contributions in their life which would disqualify both Obama and Sotomayor.    This little game is all about political correctness and the desire of certain minorities to name schools after other certain minorities; in other words race baiting politics at its best. 

If you want to play that game, then how about naming the schools for truly great Americans such as Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice or Herman Cain who like Obama are alive BUT unlike him have made meaningful contributions to society.   Perhaps those desirous of a Hispanic could name their schools after Alberto Gonzales or better yet Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, the two border agents maliciously prosecuted by the Clinton administration for doing their jobs and subsequently pardoned by George Bush.   Yes, real Americans who actually have made contributions to our society rather than a blatantly racist Supreme Court justice who thinks nothing of discriminating against white firefighters. 

The type of idiocy coming out of the Dallas once again illustrates the failures of our government schools where race baiting politics takes a priority to education.   These are the same schools that preach Black History Month, Kwanzaa and Ramadan while chastising anyone who dare mention the words under God. These are the types of schools that have banned dodgeball, tag and grading papers in red ink for fear of upsetting failing students who wouldn’t know the difference because the school nurse has them hopped up on Ritalin. 

According to the school district the eyes of the parents and children “light up” at the proposition of a school named for the messiah.   Rather than a school they should rename the short school buses whose riders and parents are the only people that actually support the guy in the first place once again reflecting the need to make voters pass an IQ test before they should be allowed to vote.  

What is happening in inner city Dallas is something that is happening in inner cities, run into the ground by liberal elitists, across the nation.   Be it Dallas or Detroit or Cleveland or New Orleans, the list of failing cities goes on and on.   Without fail these cities are run by one political party, extorting money from businesses with the help of union thugs and ACORN.   They comprise a mere fraction of our landmass but have enough ignorant and uninformed residents to sway an entire presidential election.   When John Edwards says that we have two nations, perhaps he is right only it’s not rich vs. poor; it’s intelligent vs. uninformed. 

My guess is that they aren’t trying to rename schools for Barack Hussein Obama in suburbia. Nor are they trying to rename schools for racists in rural America.   You see, in these areas people have common sense. People work for a living and understand the evils of big government.   Perhaps it’s time that our failing and bankrupt cities learned a lesson from the productive members of our society. Then again, it’s not about us, it’s about them. It’s about power and a culture of corruption that one would expect to find in a third world banana republic, not the United States. Sadly it’s here and now it’s in Washington, D.C.

The Liberal Dog and Pony Show

 

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.

http://theblogprof.blogspot.com/2009/08/busted-obama-as-hitler-poster-was.html

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…

What Would King George Do?

 

Hey Arlen Specter, how’s that 2010 campaign looking? After watching his disastrous town hall meeting I'm thinking that the Republican turned Democrat has seen the last of his cushy job in Washington D.C. come the 2010 elections. Good riddance. 

In Georgia, a swastika was painted on Congressman David Scott’s office sign.   Of course Scott, a black Democrat, is using typical liberal race baiting rhetoric to justify his position on healthcare which he believes caused the vandalism. Could it be that the perpetrator was sending a message that the Nazi period in Germany was one of the most despicable times in history rivaled only by the liberal control in Washington, D.C.? While I don’t condone the vandalism, it is very easy to understand the pent up frustration being caused by Pelosi and her un-American ilk. Yes, supporting Marxist ideologies does make you un-American. 

In Missouri a woman warned Democrat Claire McCaskill that if the administration doesn’t let people vent their frustrations there will be a revolution.   The Democrats response “I don’t understand the rudeness”. Well Mrs. McCaskill neither did King George.  

Desperate to calm the public, the messiah himself spoke yesterday at what was reported to be a townhall with open and honest dialogue from the participants.   Right, like this administration does anything that isn’t completely planned and orchestrated. Just how stupid do they think we are?

All the while, the White House has set up a special website for Americans to snitch on family, friends and neighbors who don’t support socialized medicine.   What next, SS patrols to search our homes and businesses? Maybe the government can work to silence free speech? Oh, I forgot that’s already in the works with the insidious un-Fairness Doctrine and union card check. O.K., then it’s on to guns. Oops, they are already working on that as well.  Heaven forbid we speak our mind or defend our freedom!

It’s high time that Americans woke up from their Obama induced stupor and got mad. I hope they get mad as hell just as sure as I hope Obama’s socialist agenda is a miserable failure because then I can say “I told you so” to every uninformed soul who cast their vote for the most unqualified candidate to ever run for the highest office in the land. 

I just hope it’s not too late, because in slimy Chicago politics the elitist class always gets the last word, even if it means using mob thugs to carry out their dirty deeds.   The question is whether Chicago politics can fully take root outside of Cook County? Can the liberals succeed in abolishing the first and second Amendment which is truly what they want and must have in order to achieve Stalinesque control of our nation?  

We need to come together as a people to vote every member of Congress, Democrat or Republican, who supports socialist ideals out of office.   Let’s just hope they don’t declare our right to vote unconstitutional before next November.   With this administration actually making the Clinton administration look downright honest and wholesome nothing would surprise me.

The Wretched Excesses of Liberalism

 

Leave it to USA Today, the only paper more seditious than the Treason Times, to run an op-ed by co-commie conspirators Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer calling those against socialized healthcare un-American. 

To be an American one must support the concept of economic freedom and individual liberty, the two key principles upon which our nation was founded. In addition, one must support the concepts of rugged individualism and self reliance, the qualities that came to define America and real Americans. Lastly, one must have an unbridled passion for the Bill of Rights, the ultimate key to our freedom. So just how do Pelosi, Hoyer and the rest of the Benedict Arnold Brigade stack up?

Well, they don’t want dissent. They have been using union thugs to squelch free speech at townhall meetings from coast to coast.   They are using their power and control to pass a so called Fairness Doctrine which is about as fair as the reporting on CNN.  Their agenda on free speech is so un-American that their idols Stalin, Lenin and Marx are beaming down from the heavens above. 

They are afraid of the people, which is a real problem in their minds.   Thomas Jefferson once said “when governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”   The government is tired of living in fear of us as evidenced by their mandate that we be quiet and take their medicine (no pun intended). Pelosi, Hoyer and the rest of the seditious left want us to live in fear of them.  
 
There is a very good reason that the liberals in America want to ban guns and it isn’t to reduce crime. We have thousands of gun laws on the books, yet liberals want to pass more laws intended to only allow murderers, rapists and illegal aliens to carry guns.   The reason; they don’t fear criminals, they coddle them. However, they fear you, me and every other hard working, God fearing, true American patriot. 

By supporting and promoting a ban on guns, they have taken the first step to banning dissent. Remember, the folks in Washington are all about power. They want to mandate what you can wear, what you can drive, what you can eat, the type of grocery bags you use, the type of fuel you buy, the color of your house and on and on and on. If I wanted that, I’d put my wife in a burqa, buy a cave and move in with the Taliban, who by the way aren’t subject to any of Pelosi’s mandates. 

Perhaps the scariest thing is the neo-McCarthyism being put forth by the current administration in their quest to silence free speech. This week they created a website where neighbors can snitch on neighbors who don’t support their anti-American concept of socialized medicine. This ranks right up with the fascism of Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, Pol Pot and Chavez as one of the greatest affronts in the history of free speech and expression. 

Newsflash to Pelosi, Hoyer and friends, the people who love America and the economic freedom and individual liberty that comes from being a true American aren’t un-American; you are. Anyone who is against free speech and the right to defend your life, liberty and property from criminals, be they felons or government employees (or both) is un-American. Any person who promotes communism over capitalism is un-American. Anyone who stands in the way of self reliance and rugged individualism is un-American. The question every true American should be asking is how to we take our country back from the wretched excess of liberalism gone mad?

Game On!

 

With tempers flaring at town hall meetings from coast to coast, it appears that rather than listen to constituents concerns Democrats are seeking to intimidate and muzzle the masses.  The White House has launched a site for Americans to snitch on those who don’t support socialized medicine.   Unions are sending thugs into meetings to threaten and cajole fellow Americans who simply want answers.  All the while the state run mainstream media sits idly by as the Obama Gestapo uses Stalinist tactics to quash dissent. 

I would give anything to know what our founding fathers and heroes of years past are thinking as they look down from the heavens on the civil unrest occurring.  Were Americans this dissatisfied in the 1770’s when they dumped tea in the harbor? Were those who attended that tea party called Nazi’s by the Speaker of the House as Nancy Pelosi labels those who seek freedom today?

One this is for certain, we have finally found the liberal hot buttons.   For years we have assumed that liberals were anti-war cowards.   Apparently they just don’t like to attack those from abroad, but sure have no problem attacking those at home. How is it possible for an entire political party to bow down at the altar of Islamic fascism and welcome terrorists to our homeland with open arms and then turn around and intimidate hard working, taxpaying Americans?

I certainly hope that those who voted for Obama and realizing the error of their ways. I don’t want to criticize them for their past misdeeds, but rather welcome them to the paradigm of conservatism and common sense. We have long though that liberals were anti-American and anti-freedom but had only scant proof. We believed that the mainstream media watch by many and the government schools attended by others were breeding grounds for liberal socialist indoctrination.   Now we are seeing proof and I don’t believe that Democrats are happy with what their leadership is doing to the nation.   Perhaps it is time to welcome those who care about our nation into the realm of intellectually honest dialogue. 

If I were a Democrat and had been bamboozled by the Greek columns and soaring Obama rhetoric, I too would be furious.   The true colors of liberalism are finally showing through and it is as red as the hammer and sickle of the former USSR.   The mere fact that Moscow’s Pravda is noticing the rise of communism in our nation shows how un-American our nation has become. Yes, if you support Marxist socialist fascist ideals and the redistribution of wealth you are un-American.   Sorry, but somebody’s gotta say it. 

Personally I find these town hall meetings to be a breath of fresh air. It isn’t every day that liberals are taken to task by a public who is generally too busy watching American Idiot to care about their freedom and liberty.   Finally the apple cart has tipped over and the truth of the liberal agenda is being exposed. Liberals don’t care about America, just as they don’t care about you. All they care about is power and control. We see this as they take over the banking and automotive industries. We see it as they seek to take over health care. We see it as they seek to silence free speech, mandate unionization and take away our right to defend our loved ones from the very criminals they coddle.   The message that we have to send to liberals: Game On!

12 Step Program for Liberalism

 

Step 1- Liberals must admit that they are powerless over their addiction to big government, entitlements and their hatred of George W. Bush, God, economic freedom, individual liberty and capitalism.

Step 2- Liberals must come to believe that a power greater than government can restore us to sanity.

Step 3- Liberals must make a decision to turn their will and their lives over to the care of God.   They must first accept that there is a God and that our nation lives as one nation under God and that God was the creator of all the hot Fox News babes.   

Step 4- Liberals must make a searching and fearless moral inventory of themselves realizing that a generally miserable disposition is the foundation of their being and that they are not happy unless they spread their misery around to others who have achieved greater success in life.

Step 5- Liberals must admit to God and themselves the exact nature of their wrongs which include censorship of free speech, unionization, gun control, socialist indoctrination in government education, welfare, entitlements, coddling of terrorists, appeasement of illegal alien, compassion for murderers, rapists and pedophiles, disdain for sanctity of marriage and general heterophobia.

Step 6- Liberals must be ready to have God remove all of these defects of character.

Step 7- Liberals must humbly ask God to remove their shortcomings.

Step 8- Liberals must make a list of all persons they have harmed and be willing to make amends to them. This list will be incredibly long, so be prepared to spend lots of time on this one.

Step 9- Liberals must make direct amends to all that they have harmed which would include anyone from whom the government routinely steals money from.

Step 10- Liberals must continually take personal inventory and when they are wrong promptly admit it. This includes support for censoring free speech, the Fairness Doctrine, gun control, illegal aliens, terrorists and criminals in general, gay marriage, pedophilia, NAMBLA, racism, unions, fascism, big government, taxes, propagandist education monopolies, tofu, hybrids, NOW,  Chavez, Castro, Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Carter, infanticide, welfare and entitlements.   

Step 11- Liberals must seek prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of God’s will for them and the power to carry that out while watching Fox News or listening to Neal Boortz.

Step 12- Liberals must have a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, try to carry this message to others afflicted with the incurable disease of liberalism and practice these principles in all their affairs.

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.
