As the details of the Democrats health care bill are coming out, I am starting to understand what Obama and the Democrats are trying to do.
The bill calls for "end of life counseling" for those who are deemed by the government panel as being beyond productive and are causing a drain on the government's funds. It also calls for limited care for those that the panel deems "terminal". So much for Obama's call for HOPE.
The same health care "reform" bill calls for limiting the tests doctors can perform and the elimination of preventative surgery, such as tonsillectomies for kids. Even though this procedure is more dangerous on adults. And the performing of the procedure on kids reduces the cost of antibiotics and other medicines that will be used to combat infections caused by swollen tonsils. Here's proof that this bill is designed not for the health and wellness of the patient, but for the sales and lobbying by drug manufacturers. Congress found another trough to feed on. Every illness will require long term drug use instead of corrective surgery. Unless you are the President or a member of Congress like Ted Kennedy.
It amazes me how these baby boomer Democrats are so quick to put their parents into the grave. Statistics from the last election show that a large number of senior citizens sat out the election. They may be layed out before the next election. If this doesn't show you what is so important about voting than I don't know what will.
These are the same boomers who are so quick to get rid of the older employees at the office because they are 'too costly'. Older members of society are constantly being replaced by younger, healthier workers who are willing to work for a lower wage because they don't know any better. Once they are out of a job, they can't find work because of their age. They can't even afford to retire. And so Obama's answer is to pull their plugs and send them to the cemetery. The more I read of this health care bill, the more I feel like I am living in Nazi Germany and witnessing the attempt at building a "master race".
This opens the door for Republicans to fix a serious flaw in society's direction. We have so much to learn from the life experiences of our elderly. And from those who suffer life threatening afflictions. Now is the time for Conservatives to work on building an alternative to the disposable ideals of the Democrats in power. This society that is obsessed with unobtainable perfect health, and the constant need to be subjected to pontifical professors who push their warped sense of values on those who are forced back into the college classroom in order to "be competitive". Meanwhile our newly elected Washington leadership is re-writing history and surrendering our sovereignty in exchange for world popularity. In order for Republicans to squash this rise of masked socialism they must stand up for those that are being tossed aside for the sake of congressional pensions, billions for ACORN and so that Merck and Lilly lobbyists can fill up Democrat campaign chests.

Much Ado About a Show of Disrespect
His arrogance, the president of the United States, has shown his very un-presidential side. He has, with the help of his good friend professor Gates, turned a simple situation of a police officer doing his job into an act of anti-white racism.
I am a Detroiter. I am a part of the white minority of my city. My friends and neighbors are all colors. We view police officers with respect. In no way do I feel that my opinion of Mr. Gates and Mr. Obama are typical of all members of their ethnic background. That being said, I am amazed at the way the media and the left wing black activists like Mr. Obama, were so quick to go after Officer Crowley's jugular.
Lets take both stories: A. Gates says he forgot his key and was trying to gain access to his own house with the help of a friend when Officer Gates showed up and arrested him from his own home. B. Crowley says he was responding to a breaking and entering report, asked to see some identification from Gates and his friend when Gates became belligerent and refused to comply with Crowley's request.
Option A makes no sense at all. I have been in a similar situation. I was picking up some things from my brother's home in an upscale neighborhood. I had a key. But since my brother and his family were out of town, a concerned neighbor called the police. The police officer showed up and fairly curtly, asked for my identification. I explained my situation and gave him my drivers license. I was told to stand on the porch while he ran a check on my I.D. The neighbor showed up and explained her side, we met and I was allowed to go on my way. Imagine if I had refused to give my I.D? I know I would have been cuffed and hauled to the police station for my show of defiance and disrespect. Instead, I complied and thanked the officer and the neighbor for watching over my brother's home. The officer was white. If I was black I am sure I could have used the excuse that I was treated that way because of our racial differences. But I am white. And I know the reality is I was a SUSPECT in a report of suspicious activity. Until I could clear things up, I knew to respect the officer doing his job and to comply with his directions.
As I watch the media coverage of the Gates/Crowley episode, I am amazed at the people who are interviewed about the way blacks approach a similar situation. They all seem to feel that showing restraint and respect is something only blacks have to show. We all do in that situation or we could face a possible arrest for disorderly conduct, like Gates. I would think a Harvard professor would know how to behave when caught in a suspicious act. Why is it that black activists feel they should be exempt from showing respect for law enforcement? In my neighborhood we all know how to address a police officer. No matter what color, sex or nationality we are or the officer is, you say "Yes Sir/Ma'am" and do as they say and you will soon be on your way. That is, unless you want to stir up some headlines.
President Obama, who said "I don't know all the facts" was quick to follow that up with "the police acted stupidly". How did he know that it wasn't Gates who acted "stupidly"? All the evidence points to Gates being belligerent and refusing to comply with Crowley's request that he show identification. Obama's blaming of the white police officer because "as an African-American" he "knows about racial profiling" was a racial slur at officer Crowley. And though he back-tracked a bit, he has still not apologized. This eye-opening moment reveals that we have the most racist president in the White House since pre-civil war days. And with the help of his buddies in the media, he is in the process of destroying the progress of the last forty years of the civil rights movement by his reckless words and accusations and the media's need to find anyone to back up his stupidity.

The Morning After.
It's been six months since the liberal media held their coronation for Barack Hussein Obama and the Kool-ade they served at the "All Hail Obama" party seems to be wearing off. All of those sugary platitudes that spewed forth from their Messiah's sacred teleprompter have turned into a throbbing trillion dollar hangover.
It's the morning after. The independents have found the coffee pot and are seeing the first term senator/social agitator they voted for as the manufactured candidate who is nothing more than a card board cut-out propped up by the liberal elite and the members of the 'mainstream' media. The left-wing Democrats are still having their spending party and America is getting the tab.
This President has put his socialist spending agenda on the front burner and has done nothing to spur the economic growth to put Americans back to work. Add to that the next increase in the minimum wage this week and the burden on small business has grown much heavier. If you trace the nations economic problems to their start you can see they started not long after the first of Nancy Pelosi's minimum wage increases took effect, last summer. But these problems won't deter the Democrats. Joe Biden happily points out that this spending must continue to "keep us from going bankrupt".
And now Mr. Obama wants to ram a government take-over of health-care through congress by their August 7th break. Nothing in the proposed legislation is devoted to accounting for the outrageous costs, over billing and inflated prices for prescription drugs. Instead it merely puts the U.S. Government in the seat of Blue Cross and other private health-care industries. In other words, 'who cares how much it costs, the government is paying'. This is yet another way for our government to put more cronies on the U.S. payroll and to be lobbied by the drug companies. The pigs want more in their troughs.
In the latest Rassmussen poll for the 2012 election, the great Obama is tied with Mitt Romny. I think we can safely say the Obama honeymoon is officially over. Unfortunately we still have three years and six months of the marriage to get through.

Rights for our Enemy
I am so upset to find out that the C.I.A. had a plan to assassinate Al Qaeda leaders and never carried it out.
Those poor Al Qaeda leaders were just going about their business of promoting their cause through murder and terror when the evil C.I.A., under the leadership of then President George W. Bush and the maniacal Dick Cheney secretly decided to eliminate them. What about Al Qaeda's rights? First its Al Qaeda, then it's you and me. This tramples the U.S. Constitution and what it stands for. Those unwilling targets should be offered a seat at the table with our glorious leader Obama..(takes a sip of kool-ade)..and given a U.S. funded bailout to help them regroup.
Leon Panetta, the C.I.A. director appointed by Barack Obama, has ended this dastardly plan. I am sure a sigh of relief can be heard all around Afghanistan. Now, it is a matter of U.S. policy to protect Al Qaeda leadership and accord them all U.S. constitutional rights and freedoms under the defense of the A.C.L.U.
President Obama's "Change" is being felt all over the world. From the board room of General Motors to the caves of Afghanistan.

Where's the Beef...I mean STIMULUS?
The amateurish naivete of the idealistic egomaniac President of the United States is starting to bloom. Obama's veneer of 'brilliant savior' of the working class American is pealing off and revealing the failed socialist that has become extinct in the very European countries that he has been hailed and lauded.
If you give a man a fish...stimulus check, he will pay some of the past due bills, and still be in debt. He will not shop for anything new, especially a car. But if you give a man a fishing pole...a job, he will pay his bills and buy things. We are the "Man", and so are businesses. A bailout is one thing, a government mandate of what they will make, how many people they will hire and or lay off, what kind of benefits they must supply and how 'green' they must become is quite another.
The markets are falling, unemployment is rising as well as inflation, foreclosures and bankruptcies. Meanwhile in Washington the Democratic party has taken the opportunity of their majority and the recession to enact legislation to spend our tax dollars on Al Gore's extremist views and Hillary Care II. And how does this help businesses create jobs?
We need only look back at history to see the future. Jimmmy Carter..I mean Barack Obama will be voted out of office as a failed liberal and the newly elected Conservative president will send markets soaring and create new business opportunities by dismantling the bloated government waste of his predecessor. Let's just hope the Republican leaders of tomorrow can keep their testosterone in check so they can get elected.
