April 2010 Ramblings...

Ok, this blog has turned into a monthly posting then weekly, but here goes my observations for the month of April 2010:

President Obama stated that the right claims that he and his administration are Marxist but cannot offer any proof…oh really?

• When pushed for proof, President Obama states no one can support those claims including Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
• Compares his health care plan to that proposed by Former Republican governor of Mass. Mitt Romney – so therefore it is not socialist. Funny thing is that is at the state level not the federal level.  You do not like it in MA - then move out of the state.
• Joe Biden tries to defend Obama regarding the redistribution of wealth regarding the health care bill (calls it fair)
• Allen Grayson – defends and compares socialism/Marxism with the Nazis.
• People comparing the word socialism to that of the “n” word.

So my two questions are, What has President Obama done to prove he is not a Marxist? and What has Obama done to prove he is not fundamentally transforming this country?

Phil Hare (D-IL) Illinois Senator believes in people dying and not having health care, then upholding and defending the Constitution. He quotes Declaration of Independence.

• When someone calls him out on that, he stated he doesn’t care.

Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) speaking at a press conference is worried that 8000 marine troops sent to Guam would tip over and capsize the island. It was only until the video of this incident, that he issued a statement – that this was just a humorous statement that no one got. It was just a metaphor to the damages on the eco-system. Right...I will believe that when pigs fly.

Steve Cohen (D-TN) compares Tea Party to KKK. Claims they are following George Wallace – a racist democrat. Claims that Tea Party is not diverse enough by not having enough minorities.

Outstanding statistic for April:
47% of this country will not pay any income tax for 2009 tax year.

Speaking of the New York Times, it reports that the government will compare the effectiveness of health care treatments. Now that the government is in charge of the Health Care System, the NYT is trying to sell us on how we need less health care. I do not know about you, but this sounds like rationing to me.

Bill Clinton recently gave a speech at the Center for American Progress (you know the place where Van Jones is hiding and is funded by left progressive - George Soros). Basically he compared the Tea Party movement to that of the Oklahoma City bombing.  Funny thing was before giving this speech he was in partial support of the Tea Party - for the right of peacefully speaking out and demostrating.

Speaking of Bill Clinton, Will a Clinton Member become a Supreme Court nominee? Funny how Bill was just at the center for American progress which serves a think tank for the current administration.  And now Anita Dunn has opened the for this as well.  Dunn states we need a diversity of experience in the Supreme Court.

Chris Christie receives threat for freezing teacher pay for one year. Not from Teachers themselves but rather the all powerful Teacher Union.  Funny thing was he was not asking for teachers to be fired but just a one year pay freeze to helpe get the state budget in order.  Now there are calls for his resignation.  He was brought in to clean up the mess left for former governor John Corzine and he is making the tough choices to make a difference.

Joe Klein is stating that anyone who speaks out against this administration is becoming seditious (like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin).  What has happened to free speech and the first admendment in this country?

Federal security workers can go through your computer in addition to luggage called digital seizure. Currently the law is enforced only 100 miles from either Canada or Mexico. Doesn’t this get protected by the 4th amendment? Government is making a case that they no longer need a warrant to track you via cell phone GPS. Also the government states that you should not expect privacy when it comes to using your cell phones or electronic mail.

David Gregory of NBC stated during his Sunday shows “What did freedom give the American people?” “And this free market collapse is more of a case we need less freedom”

President Obama wants to pass a law limiting free speech, that states there is some free speech that is so offensive that it should be silenced. They want congress to determine what that speech is. The first amendment states “Congress shall pass no law…” in regards to free speech.  So I would love to see how the President will achieve this.

The IMF (International Monetary Fund) wants to create a global VAT tax and keep the fund for distrubtion.  They are calling this a global bank tax.  These global organizations for some time wanted a serious revenue stream and now they are trying to get one.

The House of Representatives voted and approved on Puerto Rico Democracy Act HR2499

• Pushed by New Progressive Party movement in PR for federal vote
• Governor of Puerto Rico who is listed as a republican, is chairman of New Progressive Party. And what is this current administration full of - Progressives on both sides of the asle.
• This bill is being presented as a non-binding vote, would allow a two step process to vote on statehood in Puerto Rican senate because it passed in the House.
• Political flyers from Puerto Rico state PR could implement Tennessee plan:
• Send 2 senators and 6 representatives to Washington to demand to be represented
• To Self determine the country’s future
• Congressman Jason Chafets (R-UT) is a oppenent of this bill recently stated:
• Will allow people who live in United States to vote on status of PR.
• Where is the coverage in the news?  I had to hear about this bill from my family members in Puerto Rico who do not want statehood and conservative talk radio.  There was nothing on the main stream media
• During the 2008 election campaign in Puerto Rico, the new progressive party stated it would get Puerto Rico statehood by enacting the Tennessee Plan.

Obama states that there should be a salary cap – so at what point do people have enough money.  This is not just for CEO's but ordinary United States citizens.

You know I was thinking Police and Law enforcement cannot ask illegal immigrants for ID, but the IRS can ask legal American citizen for proof of health insurance now that the health care bill is passed.  And now congress wants United Citizens to carry a national ID card...again, why are citizens getting the shaft?

Politics of the Past...

Recent snipets of the last few weeks in the news...

President Obama has recently hosted 10 House Democrats who voted against the health care bill back in November at the White House.  This was in order to persuade their answer to yes.  Funny thing about that, The White House send out a little press release:

• Democrat from Utah (Jim Matteson) who voted against Obama’s Health Care Bill in November – President Obama has nominated his brother (Scott Matheson) to the US Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit.

Does that mean Health Care votes are for sale once again?  We shall see...

 

Remember when Congress passed a Pay as you Go measure – come up with money before passing any legislation?  This was to show the American people they want to be accountable for "out of control" spending.  Interesting fact though, since passing Pay as you go – the Democratic controled Congress has voted to bypass Pay as you Go in every vote.  Normally its the first vote during the legislation process.  Where is the media holding Congress accountable for this?  Maybe they are busy finding green jobs and covering that Global Warming.

 

A secret White House memo is looking to seize more than 10 million acres in the western states (Montana to New Mexico) in order to stop logging, mining, energy development, ranching, etc.  I think President Obama is being the puppet of Czar Cass Sunstein in this case.  Sure Obama signs off on the deal, but he did not come up with this on his own.  Funny we are focused and busy debating health care and this gets the small print in the papers.  The government already owns approx 1/3 of all property in this country.

 

Interesting observation, President Obama wears a purple tie during a press conference regarding Health Care. Purple is the color of union SEIU and SEIU stands to make millions from the Obama Health Care bill. The standard Presidential colors are Red and Blue. Interesting indeed.  I do not believe you saw President Bush or President Clinton with a purple tie, but I am just sayin...

 

Save education Protests of late:

• This is a Socialist/Communist Union lead movement:
• Demonstrators in Detroit stated we have a right to free university degree.
• State it’s a Human right to work and have a job.
• Stated 45 million people are in food emergency.
• States that Human right to property and housing rights.

Last time I checked going to college was not a human right.  College is not for everyone.  For some its a specialized technical school others get by with just a high school deploma.  I am a firm believer that if you want to go to college, you work hard to get good grades and stay out of trouble (as they say keep your nose clean), you will get scholarships.  Sure it may not be at Harvard or some other elite school, but there would be a place at your local public university I am sure.

 

As an American who has student loan debts (I CHOOSE to attend an expensive school - it was not my right), I certainly feel for todays college students.  College costs have soared to record highs.   Even the cost effect public universities and community colleges have gotten quite expensive.  Since the US Government interveined with the federal loan program, tutions has increased significantly.  To the tune of 295% between 1982 and 2003.  Let me state that again 295%.  To provide some comparision - Health Care costs during the same time periood: an increase of 195% and housing 84%.  The arguement could be made that the federal subsidies are not making higher education more affordable because the college and universities are consuming the additional source of revenue.  Every year campaign trails are littered with promises of increased spending for higher education - after all these years is it really worth it?

 

I was not aware of this fact, but due to Congress - people in high unemployment states can receive up to 99 weeks of unemployment.  That is almost 2 years worth.  Being a person who recently collected unemployment for 9 months back in 2008, I know the security that check brought to me and my financial situation.  But 99 months worth?  I know there are people who truely need assistance, in fact more then the situation I was in, but the other side to this arguement this would lead to people becoming comfortable receiving unemployment as the main source of income and not actively search for a job.  I must admit I did slack off when I was let go from my wall streeet financial job.  That lasted about 4 weeks, then I got bored doing nothing at home.  Personally I cranked up the job search engine and went to every job fair that was in driving distance.  Sure it was discouraging for months not recieving any offers (but getting lot of interviews).  I prayed about it and I walked into the perfect job.  Actually I interviewed for another position, but my skills matched a position that was not posted yet.  No explaination other then God's intervention.  Perhaps people should be praying about their situation in addition to job searching.  Never know the answer's the Lord might just provide.

 

Final bit of news is that Elliot Spitzer may return to the political life after all - hookers be damned.  He has recently started to write a new column about Wall Street and the financial crisis.  Yeah, good luck with that.

New Year...Same old Politics

Our dear friend, Harry Reid:

• Made comment about President Obama being “light skinned” black and doesn’t have a negro accent unless he wanted to. Interesting where was the press on this one? Not saying he should be fired, but come on now - if this was a republican there would be bills passed condemning this behavior. What democrats can say racial type of things and republicans can't?
• Steele “if Trent Lot is the standard” then Reid must step down.
• Lot made comments during 100th birthday party for Strung Thurmond. Saying that he should have run for president. Some how do not think there was any racial undertone there.
• I feel Harry Reid is not a racist – he is just destroying the country along with Pelosi..

Kisser who closed EWR
This happed the day before my wife and I left from Philadelphia Airport to come back to Houston, Texas.  Thank God we did not leave from our usual Newark Liberty Airport. I just have a few questions about this...

• How about the TSA Agent who did not do his job?
• How did he keep his job and he was on his cell phone?
• How much money did he cost the airlines and government and most importantly the American people?
• The offender goes to jail for 30 days. Why isn’t this employee fired. I know I would be fired if I cost a company millions of dollars.  But hey that is just me. 

Seperation of Church and State:
With the New Jersey just narrowly defeating the same sex marriage law, a lot of people started crying for a Separation of church and state.  That got me thinking:

• I beleive the founding fathers meant seperation of church and state meant that you don’t have to be a certain religion to have a certain job within government.
• This goes back to the Church of England versus the Vatican
• When Henry VIII broke away from Rome and the Roman Catholic church.
• You had to be a member of the church of England to serve the country
• The founding fathers did not want the new America to be like England, thus included the seperation of church and state.  People over the years have taken this line completely out of context.

Martha Coakley has used this line previously.   She believes that if you are a Catholic you cannot work in emergency rooms in Mass and do not have religious rights.

• Catholic hospitals are told they cannot deny services
• She supports partial birth and late term abortion, but is a child advocate.

SEIU spent 680k on Coakley’s campaign against Scott Brown to show he is supported by extremists – Tea Party members.  Funny how Scott Brown won anyway.

Ed Shultz:
Left Wing Commentator Ed Shultz: "Tea Party people are un-educated and carry guns at rallies. Thinks the Senators only represent a section of the state, not the whole state. Stated he would cheat the election system to keep conservatives and defenders of the constitution out of office. Also have been whipped up into a frenzy."  Interesting though, can't the same thing be said of exterme liberals?

President Obama's agenda push:
It seems like lately, our vote does not matter, some examples.

• Congress did not pass Cap & Trade
• The EPA said they would do it anyway
• FCC wants net neutrality – Congress said no
• The FCC as said it will make the internet a public utility and get it done anyway.

President Obama's endorsement not as strong:
Special election in Mass is now Obama’s third failed attempt to gather support for party:

• Governor race in Virginia
• Governor race in New Jersey
• Senate Race in Massachusetts

Scott Brown Victory:

Scott Brown will take away the 60th vote and the super majority for Health Care Bill. Important to keep in mind they only need 51 votes and congress still has that.

There was a clear message from the unions – Brown won because democrats could not get Health Care done.

56% people were polled and voted for Brown because of the Health Care situation.

The Democrats and the Liberal left have said the state of Massachusetts is not really as liberal as people make it out be.  Because Ted Kennedy lost after his little car accident, seriously how stupid do they think we are?

President Obama sums up the victory by blaming the voter anger in MA on 8 years of George Bush. So to show how angry they are they voted for a Republicans?? How long can you blame the previous administation?

President Obama states that government lost touch with the American people because he is too busy getting work done. So 400+ speeches, constant compaign mode isn’t enough?

NAACP:
The NAACP Chairman Julian Bond in a radio interview stated Martin Luther King Jr. was a socialist and Dr. King thought a modified version of socialism would be best for the United States. Also the chairman stated that the man we celebrate today is different from real life

A post from December 16 2009

Stimulus Bill Pork spending: - House approves 447 billion spending measure.

• $54 Million dollars for a CA Wine Train
• $2.2 Million dollars for Failing golf course in San Francisco, CA
• $1.5 Million dollars for Fossil research in Argentina (Not even spent in the US)
• $750k for puppet shows and clown theaters
• $400k for malt liquor and marijuana journals
• $200k for college hook up study
• $500k for facebook study
• $220k for rats and bird study and ant division of labor

When is enough, enough.  Does the American people even know about this? Check out even more below:

• "Obama spokesman said while there maybe be a few unwise programs out there but its small in comparison to 50k new programs approved"
• New omnibus spending bill is over 2400k
• Republicans slide in more pork barrel spending
• 7 million jobs lost since resession started in 2007 - 4 million since Obama took office
• Before Obama one employee making 170k in Department of transportaion. Today 1,671 employees
• Average government employee 71k.  Average private sector: 40k
• 1,700 employees got raises in the FAA, but they want to restrict private CEOs.

Congress just passed bill that would give power to congress to break up companies that threaten and are a danger to the economy.

Enivormental Protection Agency:

• EPA rules CO2 must be regulated and considered dangerous.
• EPA clean water restoration ACT: Control all waters in the United States would be in violation of interstate commerce laws.

The Times We Live In...

I recently came across this article the other day on gather.com.  It was written by Patrick Samuels.  It got me really thinking, what have we done with our country - where we have ordinary citizens talking about suceding from the Union.

From what I was able to look up via the internet, where I currently reside in the state of Texas - There is nothing in the State Constitution of Texas that would prevent secession.  In fact it states "Texas is a free and Independent state, subject only to the Constitution of the United States."  Sure the constitution was written in 1876 and has been amended quite often, but the under lying message is there.  To the Federal Government - Hands off Texas!

Personally I feel this might be the only way to get the attention of our federal government.  We have peacefully protested in Washington, DC and at our representatives offices.  We have made millions of phone calls, and sent millions more in email communications.  Yet the government continues in a direction they see fit.  The last time I checked, the federal government worked for the people.  You take Alaska and Texas out of the union, and the country is in trouble.  Both states have the trading partners and the economy to sustain a long term independence.  I cannot speak for President Obama, but I cannot see him handling this situation well either.  The way I see it, this country is on a collision course to re-set itself.  Where will you stand when this happens?

Will it take another Civil War in America to stop this maddness?  I sure hope it doesn't come to that.  But with such strong opposition to Government run Universal Health Care or Cap and Trade Bill and the government's position to keep moving forward, I am not sure what else there is to do.  We could replace everyone in the House and Senate in the elections in 2010, but would that really change anything?  I am starting to think there is such an infectious disease in Washington, DC that anyone that is fresh and new, gets caught up in the corruption that the liberal based media refuses to acknowledges.  Does Glenn Beck have the answer?  I don't know.  But I tell you one thing, he seems to be the only person willing to stand up and try. The American people are looking for a leader and we have none in Washington currently. I know I will be one of the millions that attend these Glenn Beck town halls that he is planning next year.  And my wife and I will try our best to make it to Washington, DC on August 28, 2010.

The Ugly Truth...

Daily President Obama Soup:

• Believes in a harsh penalty if you choose not to buy health insurance. He compares health insurance to car insurance.  So when specifically asked about jail time, he supports harsh penalties. Please see below:

• The President bows to the Japanese emperor.
• The White House press secretary states is protocol
• Japanese custom states the lower you bow the more of an “apology”.
• Teddy Roosevelt said “If I should see another king, I shall bite him”.
• Thou shall not bow protocol of the State Department – been in place for 200 years.
• It was not a bow, bow if you know what I mean ambassador to Japan said.
• President Clinton was the only President to break the tradition since George Washington.
  
• The President returned England's gift to the United States (given to us after 9/11) - which was a bust of Winston Churchill.
• 
  
  The First Lady pats the Queen of England on the back?
  
  
  
• 
  
  President Obama’s choice for Chief of Protocol, Capricia Marshall blames not paying taxes on the Washington, DC Post Office...and then her husband.
  
  
  
• 
  
  President Obama lifted the ban on HIV positive people coming into the United States which was put into place by Bush.
  
• President Obama continues to delay on a decision in Afganastan.  I will continue to shout "Give them what they need or bring them home."
  
• President Obama continues to delay the federal investigation into Ft. Hood.  Here's an idea, lets give the families some closure.  I really hope one of the mothers of the fallen heroes slaps him across the face.  That's what he needs.
  
  
  

I am getting the idea that anything to do with President George Bush, he is doing the opposite.  I am getting the feeling he is just into the average American person.


Daily SEIU Soup:

• George Soros funded SOS project: To put a SEIU friendly Secretary of State in each of the 50 states.
• SEIU makes a movie entitled "Labour Day"
• It details how the union got the current President of the United States elected and what can the union expect to get back from the President in return.
• Only played in Artsy liberal theaters on October 30, 2009
• SEIU goes after Eagle Scout who cleaned up bike/walking trail, who has spent 200 hours in his pursuit of his job. Local representative Nick Balzano stated “Only union members are allowed to pick up in that area, and will look into the Boy or Cub scout responsible.”
• SEIU is the only union to be sued by another union.

Anyone else see a problem here?  Are they the "muscle arm" of President Obama's agenda?

Health Care Bill:

• AARP is a strong proponent of the bill.  Why? Hmmm it appears that AARP sells GAP insurance for anything not covered by Medicaid or Medicare and would stand to make millions if this bill should pass in the Senate.
• Why haven't we heard from any trial lawyers on this topic, either for or against the bill?  Even after a deal was brokered to get rid of private insurance within 5 to 10 years?
• Turns out in the bill, Lawyers are now able to sue for pain and suffering if coverage is denied by an inusrance company.
• As written in the current bill, current private insurance will be grandfathered without taxes for 5 year grace period.  However if any changes are made - such as a change in deductable or primium price, individuals are then kicked out of the private health plan and flipped into the government plan.

Doesn't sound like there are any positives to this plan what so ever.  Not to mention the real price tag of 3 trillion dollars.  Please no one tell Obama what comes after a Trillion, please!!!!

9/11 Trial in NYC:

• Since George Washington, we have never tried Acts of War in a criminal court. It was always tried in a Military Tribunal Court. The current administration is trying to put the Bush Administration on trial and destroy the CIA. It’s a slap in the face. What if the terrorist on trial is set free?  Here's how it could realistically happen
• The terrorist's lawyer is looking into whether the confession has legal standing that he was the mastermind of 9/11 because of torture.
• I seem to recall 90% of the people in this country telling our CIA to do what is necessary to get information and get justice.  You cannot have buyer's remorse.  You have to live with the consequences of your actions.  Personally I felt safer knowing we are getting this information.  I don't care how it is obtained and frankly neither should anyone else.
• If the confession is thrown out, what supporting documentation can be used to indict the suspect?
• And if there is reasonable doubt, he would have to be acquitted and therefore cannot be tried for the same crime twice.
• Not to mention all of the Department of Intelligence, CIA and FBI techniques would be revealed.
• The trial could go on for years costing the tax payers millions of dollars and tying up the court system.  Not to mention it would be a circus atmosphere.
•  Cloward and Piven strategy to collapse the system from within...this would flood the court system of New York sending a ripple effect.
• What precidents will be set during this trial? Will they benefit anyone?

Chuck Schumer blames Texas for Ft. Hood shooting, a lapse in gun control

Oh President Obama...We are watching

This video just leaves me speechless...self-explanitory.



It would be nice if the President of the United States of America, stops bowing and apologizing for past mistakes.  We bow to NO ONE.  Oh and while you are over in Japan, could we make a decision on Afganastan?  Its been over 100 days and our men and women are still dying.  When is enough, enough?

November 11 - News Points

Recently I made the decision to make this blog public, and by public I mean posting the link to my facebook page.  This was a huge step for me.  I still dont think there is anyone who wants to hear what I have to say, but guess what I really dont care.  This is all about me anyway :) Anyway back to the news that the mainstream media will NOT cover.

Ft. Hood shooter:

• White house not able to share information with the ranking republican (Peter Hoekstra) member of House intelligence committee.
• Required by law to inform on a timely basis of national security matters
• Whitehouse has information regarding Islamic contacts, mosque and the FBI was following the domestic terrorist since 2008.
• President Obama stated we should not jump to conclusions – but had information that states the contrary.  Funny thing though...remember this? When President Obama stated while he did not have all the facts the Cambridge Police acted stupidly.
• Compare how much conviction conveyed during that press conference with the press conference for the Ft. Hood shooting.  Does something seem wrong to you...I know it does to me.
• Let’s call it what it is. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck – well you get the idea. This was a planned terrorist attack. To call it anything less is just a disgrace to the men & women who died at Ft. Hood.

Chris Matthews:

• Stated on his show “Hardball” that its not illegal to call Al-Qaeda is it?  I dont know about you...I am sure questions would have been raised if in 1940's people made phone calls to Hilter or his Army.  Maybe it's just me.

Global Warming:

• 3rd coldest October in recorded history.  So again, gotta save those Polar Bears dont we.

President Obama:

• Fired Susan Crawford – Internet Czar. She is behind Net Neutrality.  Don't worry it was another in the middle of the night removal we have come to expect from our "transparent" President.
• I still cannot forgive the President for giving a shout out before addressing a national tragedy.
• Speaking of which, Did President Obama's speech to the Native American's sound familiar.  It did to me.  Check out this video of Van Jones.  I thought he was out of the White House? Hmmm, I guess I was hoping for some change.

Anita Dunn

• White House Communications Director
• Will step down at the end of the month.

US Homeland Security Secretary

• Went to the Middle East to console the Muslim community.

Congressman Barney Frank:

• His partner was arrest for pot in 2007 – however he was not
• Was on front porch in Maine when police found marijuana plants outside.
• Frank did not have an idea of what was happening.
• Would not be able to recognize a pot plant because he is not an outdoorsman.

Eric Holder:

• United States Attorney General
• US Department of Justice – Grand Jury subpoena demanded all IP traffic to and personal information from website to be disclosed:
• SSN
• Banks Accounts
• E-mail addresses
• IP Addresses
• Physical Addresses
• Credit Cards
• Placed gag order on indymedia.us not to mention probe was going on.
• Issued by US Attorney Tim Morrison – Indiana
• Fed representative – “I didn’t think we are doing anything to warrant national attention”
• What is Eric Holder really after?

And to leave you with a quote from a radical - Benjamin Franklin "To get people out of poverty, make them uncomfortable in poverty”.  You think its time to overhaul the system and stop this maddness of entitlement from the government?

Health Care Bill

As many of the citizens know, the Health Care Bill cleared a first major huddle in the law process by just passing in the House. There are now 220 targets that the American people are going after to "fire" you in 2010. Yeah good luck with that. Here are a few snippets from the Health Care Bill that are a little concerning to say the least (Yes I read some parts of this Bill as I liked to be informed. That's more then I can say for the House Representatives):

• Page 111 - Section 223 establishes a new board of federal bureaucrats (the “Health Benefits Advisory Committee”) to dictate the health plans that all individuals must purchase. Comment: Of course this almost certainly will make the insurance companies go out of business. How many times can the new sources state this - this means you will be "nudged" into a government run health plan
• Page 211 - Section 321 establishes a new government-run health plan that, according to non-partisan actuaries at the Lewin Group, would cause as many as 114 million Americans to lose their existing coverage.
• Page 297 - Section 501 imposes a 2.5 percent tax on all individuals who do not purchase “bureaucrat-approved” health insurance - the tax would apply on individuals with incomes under $250,000, thus breaking a central promise of then-Senator Obama’s presidential campaign. Comments: Say what you will about 250k salary, its not what it seems like. You almost cannot live in NYC with that kind of income. My wife and I have over 120k combined income and because of federal taxes, we are still living check to check. This will just hurt the middle class, if there is a middle class left.

Do you believe Pelosi and Obama when they say “if you like your plan you can keep your plan” … that you ultimately won’t be forced to live with government-run insurance? I know I do not believe anything that comes out of their mouths.

Check out this provision…

• Page 94 - Section 202(c) prohibits the sale of private individual health insurance policies, beginning in 2013, forcing individuals to purchase coverage through the federal government. Comments: Where is the media coverage about this. Oh that's right - David Axlerod told the media not to act like Fox News and report the stories.

Of course, Members of Congress and their family members need not worry about how this radical overhaul of our nation's health care will affect them because...

• Page 225 - Section 330 permits—but does not require —Members of Congress to enroll in government-run health care. Comments: I beg everyone to ask their reprsentatives and congressmen if they would enroll themselves in the government plan.

Here Are A Few More Little Nasties In Pelosi’s H.R. 3962.

• Page 110 - Section 222(e) requires the use of federal dollars to fund abortions through the government-run health plan—and, if the Hyde Amendment were ever not renewed, would require the plan to fund elective abortions. Comments: You know what that means? Chrstian/Baptist/Catholic run hospitals would be forced to close down, meaning even less healthcare out there. I am not going to tell you where to stand on abortion as its a decision each person will have to make, but You have to face your maker in the end and be accountable for you actions. Having said that, I do not want my tax dollars going to pay for such a thing.
• Page 313 - Section 512 imposes an 8 percent “tax on jobs” for firms that cannot afford to purchase “bureaucrat-approved” health coverage; according to an analysis by Harvard Professor Kate Baicker, such a tax would place millions “at substantial risk of unemployment”—with minority workers losing their jobs at twice the rate of their white counterparts.
• Page 336 - Section 551 imposes additional job-killing taxes, in the form of a half-trillion dollar “surcharge,” more than half of which will hit small businesses; according to a model developed by President Obama’s senior economic advisor, such taxes could cost up to 5.5 million jobs.
• Page 520 - Section 1161 cuts more than 150 billion from Medicare Advantage plans, potentially jeopardizing millions of seniors’ existing coverage. Comments: Where is the senior outrage?! It's just aweful that the AARP is in support of the Health Care Bill. While it does not suprise me, I wonder what was the trade off?
• Page 733 - Section 1401 establishes a new Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research; the bill includes no provisions preventing the government-run health plan from using such research to deny access to life-saving treatments on cost grounds, similar to Britain’s National Health Service, which denies patient treatments costing more than 35,000. Comments: I wonder if all those children who come to the US for charity care work (You know you have seen the TLC and Discovery specials), if they will still come after all this?

And last, but certainly not least:

• Page 1174 - Section 1802(b) includes provisions entitled 'Taxes On Certain Insurance Policies' to fund comparative effectiveness research, breaking Speaker Pelosi’s promise that 'We will not be taxing benefits in any bill that passes the House,' and the President’s promise not to raise taxes on families with incomes under 250,000.

This is not to mention the fact failure to pay such a tax could lead to five year prision terms and fines up to $250,000.

If this bill passes and is signed into law by President Obama, I will almost bet the house that a revolution will insue. History will repeat itself, and when you children ask where were you, what will you tell them?

Questions we are NOT ASKING: 

1. Why do we need health care NOW when the benefits will not kick in until 2013?
2. Why is ACORN funding starting back up on October 31, 2009?
3. Why is SEIU doing all the work on Health Care reform?
4. Why was Van Jones hired when he was known as a communist?
5. Why is CNN only covering the Anita Dunn response?
6. Why are Fox News viewership numbers growing in astounding rate why CNN, MSNBC and mainstream media continue to decline?
7. Why is the government pushing community service through the mainstream media?
8. Why is the President trying to control the communications?
9. Why is the federal government picking out clothes for a Supreme Court Justice?

White House war on Fox:

• War on Glenn Beck
• Youtube Video
• Rohm Emmanuel and David Axelrod states Fox News hasn’t even news 10/18/09
• Anita Dunn states she was joking on General Mao’s comments
• Axelrod stated that Fox News is not a new organization it only has a perspective.
• Only fox news has the point of view and not news stories
• Only on step away from President Obama on commenting
• Released a news bit stating that no one from the white house will appear on Fox through the end of the year.
• The secret service states there is no data to show that President Obama has more threats then any other president.
• David Axelrod suggests that CNN should not be like Fox News and question the president.
• President is upset that Fox News fact checks instead of accepting as gospel what the current administration spews out.

 Anita Dunn – White House Communication Director

• States favorite political philosophers are General Mao and Mother Theresa
• States now it was just a joke to High School graduates
• States long time GOP Lee Atwater said it all the time.
• Stated “favorite political philosophers” was just irony and that Fox News just doesn’t get it.
• States huge press strategy was to have media focus on what Obama was saying. Instead of why and what tactics they were using.
• We control information during campaign instead of press.
• White house using an isolation strategy/tactic.

Health Care

• Extra taxes for smoking and being over weight.
• Owning guns will become a health hazard and will be taxed with Universal Health Care.
• 54% now oppose a national health care
• Government refuses to put health care bill online for 72 hours

CNN has MSNBC poll on whether the White House should attack the Fox News Channel – over 76% people think the white house should NOT…interesting

 

Climate Treaty

• Lord Christopher Monckton (advisor to Margaret Thatcher)
• United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009
• World Wildlife Fund's position
• Treaty will be signed in Copenhagen this December, its three goals as stated in the treaty itself:
• States a World Government will be created or at least lays the foundation. (paragraphs 36 and 37 of document)
• Transfer of Wealth from Rich Countries to Poor Countries – Rich countries will have to pay for “messing up” the climate. Reparations of Climate Debt. Will have to pay 2% of GDP to poorer countries.
• Enforcement of this treaty. There will be series of interlocking technical panels which would supersede current elected leaders and enforce taking money from Western Countries.
• All world left-wing liberal governments will sign it. Most countries will not sign. The European Union will rubber stamp treaty to give legitimacy to treaty.
• Been in planning for 2 plus years as soon as George Bush was out of office.
• The words democracy, vote, elections do not appear in the entire document.
• United States is expected to sign. If President signs treaty it will need to be approved by congress. Article 6 of the constitution – will need 2/3 of senate to ratify treaty. President Obama during his campaign has stated he did not like the 2/3 majority in congress.
• Danger is that now that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given to President Obama, if he goes with Al Gore on his arm – the president will not read the fine print.
• We now know for certain the CO2 emissions are1/6 of what the United Nations said it was. The amount of radiation escaping into the atmosphere is just as before. The warming effect over the next 100 years is only 1 degree F; the data is now out dated. The results are measured not computer models.

New poll in President Obama’s job approval rating: Only 45% approve of his rating.

• 40 percent of Independents approve
• 18-32 year olds according to Harris Poll Interactive (Biggest Pro-Obama) have approval 

1.4 Trillion Operating debt for 2009 is more then the first 200 years of the United States.

• A trillion dollars for every year for the next 10 years (not including the new health care bill)
• Public debt will become up to 80% of the gross national product

Just remember….right before taking the oath in the White House: “We are 5 days away from fundamentally transforming this nation…” Can anyone stop this Obama train? Will any politician on either side come to their senses and realize what is going on? Stay tuned it should be an interesting yet bumpy ride

The Week in Review

There are some events I did want to cover from last week.

1. Nobel Peace Prize awarded to United States of America president Barrack Obama.
• What disturbs me about this is that he was nominated 10 days into his presidency.  I dont know about you, but what can any president do in 10 days time.  I dont care what political party the person is affliated with, it just cannot be done.
• The president is now a joke around the world.  It's one thing for the American people to make fun of the president - he is OUR leader, but when other countries are doing it, it just boils my skin.
• I was too young and un-interested in politics when Arafat won the award in 1994, but Obama winning the prize, makes a joke of this once prestegious award.
2. George Soros - Donating One Billion Dollars to clean energy.
• The MoveOn.org founder, who was Obama's largest donator is planning to donate to clean jobs, but at what cost?
3. Why is no one asked questions:
• Why cant we read the health care bill in advance?
• How involved is SEIU with the Health Care?
• Why is there a war on the media - Foxnews? Since when did a news outlet which is ranked number 1 in the country become an enemy bigger then terrorism?
• Why is my taxpayer dollars going to pay for someone from the White House (Communication director - Ms Dunn) to specifically watch Fox News and Glenn Beck?
• Why is no one asking about President Obama's comments on Chicago public radio address 2001 (when he was a senator from IL) on his position on the redistribution of wealth and the collation of powers (like SEIU) that the Supreme Court should have been used to subvert the Constitution and have government forcibly redistribute the wealth?
4. Health Care:
• Average wait time is twice as long in Canada
• 45% of doctors say they will quit if Health care bill is passed. By 2020 - average doctor debt for minorities will be $750,000
• 500 millions dollars being cut from Medicare - AARP is set up to sell gap insurance...to cover 160 billion dollar gap
• SEIU - has 1.1 million members in health care union. I wonder who wrote the stimulus/government health care bill - oh I know The Apollo group, which has ties to SEIU.  Interesting.
