We Are Screwed

I'm not going to pull any punches today. I have tried to be as diplomatic as possible in regards to many issues, but today, frankly I am livid. I am sick, I am terrified and I am devastated. Yesterday, the House of Lords...er Representatives, boldly ignored the will of the people of this nation and "courageously" passed health care "reform". They proudly lit a slow-burning fuse that will be the end of this country as you know it. The repercussions of this legislation will destroy our medical system, our economy and our freedom. It will not be immediate but it will happen. Do you think I'm over-reacting? Wait and see. It is inevitable. There is still a slim chance that the courts will overturn this abomination. There is a chance that the legislation could be repealed, but I have very little hope or confidence in the ability of politicians to do what must be done.

If this is such a great bill for the citizens of the United States, then why did the Democrats have to lie, bribe, meet in private, hide, scheme, plot and strong-arm the members of the House to get it passed? The sickening methods used to get this passed should be enough to demonstrate the quality of the legislation to everyone in this country. The level of arrogance consuming the current administration and its lackeys should make everyone one of us fear for ourselves and our future.

To borrow Chairman Obama's favorite phrase, "let me be clear" about who bears responsibility for this debacle. Every fool or dupe who has voted for a Democrat in the last ten years has brought this on us. Every voter too lazy to go and place a vote and thereby allow this to happen is responsible. The Republicans are so far from perfect that I can barely stomach most of them, but not a single Republican in the House or Senate voted for this bill. There is nothing moderate or middle of the road about this legislation. This is pure extreme liberalism, which means socialism. The next step is communism. So kindly remember the next time you go to vote that this is Democrat legislation. From top to bottom, from start to finish, the Democrats own this. When November 2010 and 2012 comes, it should be hung around their necks and they should be sumarily tossed overboard. That is the only hope we have of fixing this. And any Republican that goes squishy and says, "Well, we can fix this bill or amend a few things", is not serious and should not be elected. The only prayer we have is to repeal it and start over. Do we need health care reform? Yes. This, ladies and gentlemen, ain't it.

    Camie took the word(s) right out of my mouth. Unfortunately, by the time it's a disaster and we're all saying "I told you so", it'll be too late.

So What Can We Do?

I have spent a lot of time picking apart the liberal plan for reforming health care in the U.S. I do not have any confidence in a government that cannot run anything cheaply or efficiently. They are the last people I would trust to manage one sixth of our economy--I wouldn't trust them to do my lawn care. So, it's high time to talk about what can and should be done instead. Here are some ideas that would go a long way to lowering the cost of health care for everyone without a government takeover of health care. 1) Individual responsibility: As with anything in life, when we are directly responsible for the outcomes of our decisions, we are better for it, individually and as a society. That responsibility includes being accountable for our life choices, the amount of risks we take and paying our bills. It seems like a no-brainer doesn't it? Unfortunately, we have gotten away from that thinking in reference to our health care. If I choose to have multiple sexual partners, why...

In Defense of the Stay-at-home-Mom

"Democratic pundit Hilary Rosen, a political consultant who advises the Democratic National Committee, said on CNN Wednesday night that Ann Romney 'never worked a day in her life.'" (Washington Post, 4/12/12, Michael Katz) Ann Romney who has raised five boys who are all college graduates, gainfully employed, married fathers, "has never worked a day in her life." Wow, where to begin. Hilary Rosen has visited the White House over 30 times and works for the DNC. She has close ties to the Democratic party but was not speaking for the DNC. To their credit, many Democrats have distanced themselves from her comments. But her attitude towards stay-at-home mothers is indicative of how many liberals view us. It is one more glaring indication of their hypocrisy and general hatred towards the principles of conservatism, especially in the realm of women. Let us remember how Sarah Palin was treated by liberal women for NOT being a stay-at-home mom. Just one small exampl...

The American Death Cult

Cults are known for some typical but disturbing behavior. Most obvious, is the brainwashing of their members. They also specialize in controllling the flow of information; keeping vital facts from followers. They viciously attack anyone who might question their dogma or dare to leave the cult. Thinking or thoughtful discussion with others and the search for unadulterated truth are the things cults fear the most. The extreme left in this country has embraced these tactics and become a cult of death: t heir god is hedonism,  militant feminists the high priestesses, Planned Parenthood the holy temples and killing the unborn their most sacred ritual.  They are adamantly opposed to any kind of open discussion about the pluses, minuses and causes that lead women to feel they must get an abortion. They work hand-in-hand with the mainstream media to spread their orthodoxy while painting anyone who disagrees with them as the women from the Handmaid's Tale. They are currently, illegally...
