Once again the wonderful Rachel Maddow of MSNBC

brings some sanity to the Health Care debate as she explains what the "party of NO" wants to do for all Americans. Interesting that the D.C. Capital Police estimated the crowd of protesters (eagerly kicking themselves in the a** while being led like lemmings to the slaughter by their greedy Corporate Health Care Insurance leaders) at about 4,000 people. Anyone who seriously believes this protest was "spontaneous" is in serious need of mental health care, just like Michele Bachmann!

You can't always fix "stupid" but you sure can point it out when it's this obvious!

Thanks, Rachel!

Remember, be VERY careful what you ask for.  My fear is your wish will come true.

Kiss Your Freedoms Goodbye If Health Care Passes

Congress recognizes no limits on its power. It doesn’t care about the Constitution, it doesn’t care about your inalienable rights. If this health care bill becomes law, America, life as you have known it, freedom as you have exercised it and privacy as you have enjoyed it will cease to be.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a 2,000-page bill to give the federal government the power to micromanage the health care of every single American. The bill will no doubt pass. It will raise your taxes, steal your freedom, invade your privacy, and ration your health care. Even the Republicans have introduced their version of Obamacare Lite. It, too, if passed, will compel employers to provide coverage, bribe the states to change their court rules, and tell insurance companies whom to insure.

We do not have two political parties in this country, America. We have one party; called the Big Government Party. The Republican wing likes deficits, war, and assaults on civil liberties. The Democratic wing likes wealth transfer, taxes, and assaults on commercial liberties.

Both parties like power; and neither is interested in your freedoms. Think about it. Government is the negation of freedom. Freedom is your power and ability to follow your own free will and your own conscience. The government wants you to follow the will of some faceless bureaucrat.

(CNN) - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is taking aim at President Obama's decision not to travel to Germany next week to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the latest in a string of conservatives to criticize Obama's decision to skip the ceremony on November 9.

"Some consider President Obama's refusal to attend the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany next week an outrage, I consider it a tragedy." Gingrich wrote

Friday in The Washington Examiner.

"To commemorate, after all, is to remember. And Americans need to remember, not just that the Wall fell, but why it fell," Gingrich added. "We need to remember that the Berlin Wall was the symbol of more than just the Cold War, more than just the division of Europe."

While the president had originally planned to be on hand for the event, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs confirmed earlier this week scheduling conflicts and preparation for his impending 10-day trip to Asia have instead caused Obama to stay in Washington.

Lighten up Newt. You can still be proud of Reagan for knocking down the Berlin Wall single handed if you wish. It's just that there is too much going on right now for Obama to spend his time on commemorations.  He caught hell for trying and failing to bring the Olympics to Chicago, what do you want from him?  He's trying to take care of business, and you are trying to take care of the 2012 election. I consider THAT a tragedy.

I see this more and more very day, and so-called college grads erroneously believe their "schooling" makes them superior - just ask them!   The longer you stay in public school, (including college) the stupider you get

Money can't provide real education any more than buy "class".  I've had the privilege of being around home schooled youngsters, who graduate at 14 and 15, with an education that most colleges don't supply, AND, they know who they are, what they want to accomplish, and believe they have the tools to succeed.  They have high self-esteem and are drug-free.  Socially, they are also FAR superior than any public school kids with whom I've interacted.  Nice kids, yes, smart? not so much...

Our govt. funded schools teach kids to obey the rules, do what you are told, don't think for yourself, grow up, get your socialistic education, go to work for someone else so you can work as a slave for the govt. by way of paying your taxes, and let the govt. tell you what to believe and what you can and cannot do.

Just look at the past decade.

Dumbest Generation Getting Dumber


In 2006, U.S. students ranked 25th of 30 advanced nations in math and 24th in science. McKinsey & Company, in releasing its report "The Economic Impact of the Achievement Gap in America's Schools" (April 2009) said, "Several other facts paint a worrisome picture. First, the longer American children are in school, the worse they perform compared to their international peers.

In recent cross-country comparisons of fourth grade reading, math, and science, US students scored in the top quarter or top half of advanced nations. By age 15 these rankings drop to the bottom half.

In other words, American students are farthest behind just as they are about to enter higher education or the workforce." That's a sobering thought. The longer kids are in school and the more money we spend on them, the further behind they get.

I did a little research after hearing about the massacre of our soldiers at Ft Hood Military Base in Texas yesterday, by a radical Muslim terrorist infiltrator...

Here's what it says on the Homeland Security Website about their new departmental duties:                                            http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/

"The Department of Homeland Security has a vital mission: to secure the nation from the many threats we face. This requires the dedication of more than 225,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector. Our duties are wide-ranging, but our goal is clear – keeping America safe."

Has anyone noticed they AREN'T doing their job????????????????????

Considering that they knew this Muslim was a threat to our security for awhile now,

              "the suspect made several statements indicating his ideological beliefs such as: “The killing of the soldier in Arkansas and any attack against the U.S. military inside the homeland is legitimate because of American military involvement in the Middle East.” Among other detailed remarks made by the accused killer: “against U.S. policy and in support of potential suicide attacks inside the country'."

and considering the fact that there are probably others like him, at other bases just waiting to explode also...

and considering the fact that there are STILL millions of illegal mexicans in this country that continue to ROAM OUR STREETS, and kill American citizens, should qualify them to receive the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE alongside Obama... 

FOR DOING SUCH A BANG UP JOB AT    "KEEPING AMERICA SAFE!"

The BS they spout should get them at least as much as Obama's BS gets him.

Here's what Obama said about this latest Ft Hood terror attack...

             "It’s difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas. It  is horrifying that they should come under fire at an army base on American soil.”

SO, MY QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT???????????

Your Homeland Security Dept knew all about it ahead of time, and yet....?????????

Hot Air is all it is...More Hot Air!

Just like the airport security, frisking old ladies and 5 yr old blonde boys, and yet they let the Muslims imams board the plane, without so much as a peep!

 Democrats and Republicans, EVERYONE!!

To:  President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,

It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:

The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775

You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
                      
Social Security was established in 1935.

You have have had 74 years to get it right and through your taking from "the peoples

Money", which they've put into that fund, it is broke.
 
Fannie Mae was established in 1938.

You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
 
War on Poverty started in 1964.

You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each

year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
 
Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965.

You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
                        
Freddie Mac was established in 1970.

You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
 
The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to
lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to
16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year
and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32
years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
 
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have
shoved down our throats while overspending our tax
dollars...

AND NOW YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU WILL DO A GOOD JOB WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??

LAUGHABLE!

I GOT A BETTER IDEA....TAKE YOUR UHC AND SHOVE IT!

Ah, yes! The satisfying hum and thrum of the media and self-proclaimed pundits, espousing opinions and interpretations about the midterm elections, now merely a year away; the hyper play by play calling has begun. ...and wouldn't you know it? Already, talk abounds about how angry the American body politic is, how frustrated, and how ready they now are to 'throw the bums (whom they just elected a year ago) out.'

As if - in a check and balance political system such as the one we have - anything substantial could be accomplished  in less than a year!! Give me a break!

Have we literally become slaves to the almighty remote, now thinking that our political system is going to respond INSTANTLY, the same way the television does when we change stations or turn it off with the all-powerful remote? How stupid have we become?

We voted (speaking editorially for the moment) for change.

Change takes time - and both houses of Congress moving in sync with the elected president. Which we really do not have.

We still have time - but we need numbers.

If the pundits (why are they called pun-dits? I've never heard a good pun from any of them.) are correct, and the immediate-gratification-mesmerized, frustrated American public (at least the FOX anointed tea-partying segment) rushes to the polls and votes the bums out, and the other guys in - while all those first timers who were enthralled with the promise of change choose to stay home, out of the same frustration, that nothing has yet changed, well, we will once again have snatched defeat from the jaws of potential victory - and any chance of the desperately needed change, which seemed so thrillingly close, last fall, will fade like daylight after the sun sets, and vanish for the foreseeable future.

Is that what we want?

If we really want the change(s) for which we voted, and for which many of us worked so hard, then we have to redouble our efforts, and make certain that when the midterm election comes, we elect MORE people who will support the change that President Obama represents and offers.

If we fail in this, we not only let Mr. Obama down, we let ourselves, and our children, and every further generation down - so far down that the very concept of 'up' may be forgotten. And the remote still won't work. But Rush and others of his ilk will be gloating for years.

HR 615   If it's good enough for us, then it's good enough for them!!!

Let’s join Congressman John Fleming by signing his petition to require all members of Congress to enroll in the same health care program they want to shove off on us….        HR 615 - Please forward to everyone you know

Subject: HR 615

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.

Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they are proposing on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition.  The process is very simple. 

Fill out name address, etc...click "YES" and submit!! *

Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians.

Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us.

Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!

*When I first tried to log on to Congressman Fleming's site it was inundated, so waited until the next day and could go on and vote.  If at first you don't succeed keep trying.    Also, keep trying until your vote registers and  Please pass this on to other tax paying citizens that pay the congress and senate salaries
