A Statement On Our Society
I was reading a couple of items on the CNN site, when I noticed something on the side.
Most popular news stories right now?
The news of Sandra Bullock’s family problems overshadows the evil perpetrated by the Taliban on Afghan women?
What does this say about us? Or is it just that CNN readers/viewers are so freakin’ shallow, that they don’t give a damn what happens to Muslim women, all around the world (including right here in the U.S.), but seeing a conservative leaning Hollywood type’s marriage hit the skids tops their list of must have information?
Yeah. I’m disgusted! Disgusted that so many women in this country have decided baby murder is ok! Disgusted that so called “women’s groups” speak ONLY for lib>progressive>socialist>commie women. Disgusted at the deafening silence over such abuse of women goes on daily! Disgusted! Period!
A Copy & Paste
All the sick folks, and sad stories being paraded by the Obama administration have a back story as well. The Dems have quite a history of exploiting people, especially children, for their own gains. A child losing his mother is sure to pull the heart strings, no matter what. However, they just might want to realize we have the ability to do a bit of searching on our own. Never minimize the child’s loss, but damn sure don’t use that child as a stage prop to spread lies! That’s beyond reprehensible. The Dems have been USING human beings for decades (centuries, actually) now. They still promote slavery! It just doesn’t involved a physical auction block anymore. I’d say this was a new low for Democrats, but this is actually a habit!
ObamaCare Could Cost Me My life
by J.D. Longstreet
Below is a piece I wrote back in 2008.
As we near crunch time in the US Congress on the passage of ObamaCare, I hope this article will serve as a reminder to the millions of Americans who suffer chronic diseases and depend mightily upon the current healthcare system in America for their life. It is a reminder that ObamaCare is a matter of life and death for many of us — yours truly included.
In Other Words….
….they’re all a bunch of lying, low life, sacks of male bovine excrement, bottom feeders! But, I’m repeating myself, aren’t I. 
What the Senate Bill Would Do To America
The Foundry
Another day, another no-show for the Obamacare reconciliation bill. House Democrats were quick to shift blame to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) with Rep. Robert Andrews telling The Hill that the delay “has been much more technical than substantive. … It’s not like what tax has to go or what spending has to go.” Which is an interesting claim, since Politico reported that AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka was summoned to the White House yesterday afternoon “to discuss a higher-than-expected excise tax on some health care plans.” In fact, Politico added: “A labor source said Trumka’s meeting would focus on the entire bill, not just the excise tax question.” Sounds like more than just technical details are still in flux.
Where is the LEFT’S Outrage?
Oh, but THAT’S different! Uh…how? One wanted to keep our nation safe from terrorists, the other wants to spy on it’s own citizens. Y’all need to pick a side. Are you FOR America, and Americans? Or do you identify with those who would whack your head off? Seriously! I’m really starting to miss Bush. Shoot, I’m even starting to miss Clinton! At least Clinton was semi rational.
Celibacy
Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by circumstances.
While attending a Marriage Weekend, Walter and his wife, Ann, listened to the instructor declare, ‘It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other..”
He then addressed the men, ‘Can you name and describe your wife’s favorite flower?’
Walter leaned over, touched Ann’s arm gently, and whispered, ‘Gold Medal-All-Purpose, isn’t it?’
And thus began Walter’s life of celibacy……….

Ann’s Simple Plan
My Healthcare Plan
by Ann Coulter
Liberals keep complaining that Republicans don’t have a plan for reforming health care in America. I have a plan!
It’s a one-page bill creating a free market in health insurance. Let’s all pause here for a moment so liberals can Google the term “free market.”
Nearly every problem with health care in this country — apart from trial lawyers and out-of-date magazines in doctors’ waiting rooms — would be solved by my plan.
In the first sentence, Congress will amend the McCarran-Ferguson Act to allow interstate competition in health insurance.

Obama’s Ideology Threatens America
by J.D. Longstreet
I began this week with a small, very small, remnant of hope that the Democats/Progresssives/Socialist/Marxists in the US House of Representatives would fail in their under-handed, lowdown, sneaky, and in my opinion, dishonorable attempt to pass ObamaCare into law WITHOUT it ever having passed the House by a vote. But as the days have passed it has become ever more clear that that is exactly what they are going to do.
We have warned our readers over and over that America, under the Obama Regime, has become a Socialist republic, not unlike the Democratic Socialist Republic of the former Soviet Union, or the current Democratic People’s Republic of (North) Korea. America is no longer a constitutional republic as it has been since The Founders of our nation gave us the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.
In less than a year and a half, Obama has fulfilled his campaign promise to “FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE AMERICA!”
Read the WHOLE post here!
I’m not really sure how many more ways we can say it! This is NOT the America that the majority of the citizens want to live in. There will be no prosperity, no liberty, no ‘beacon of hope’ for the world.

“Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.”

I’m thinking that those of us who are PRO-Constitutional Americans will be the ones teaching the ANTI’s a hard lesson in the not too distant future. Patriots V Tories. If you don’t get the reference, you’re education is sorely lacking, and you might want to do a little investigating. The lies just keep on coming. Past time to learn the TRUTH.
“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. … And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
~ Thomas Jefferson ~
This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
~ Benjamin Franklin ~
Out Of Control
The people in Washington, D.C., our so called elected officials, spend money like there’s no tomorrow. Putting aside the horror they call ‘health care reform’ for a minute, what else are the weasels up to? Well, I guess I thought, perhaps, at least the Republicans were getting the message on spending. Not so.
The aide noted that McConnell appointed an internal task force in 2008 to come up with recommendations regarding earmarks, but little was done to implement its recommendations.
GOP Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), who also sits on the Appropriations panel, was the only member of GOP leadership to vote against the DeMint amendment Tuesday, but he did support a similar effort in 2008.
“I supported it before because I thought we needed some reforms, and we’ve taken some reforms,” Alexander said of the increased transparency of earmark requests.
Alexander continued: “If you have a couple of bad acts at the Grand Ole Opry, you don’t cancel the Opry. You cancel the bad acts, and what we need to do is make sure is that if we have reforms that need to be had or abuses that need to be stopped, that we do that. And we’ve taken some steps to do that.”
Excuse me? To quote Everett Dirksen: “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.” And to think, my opinion of Alexander was starting to improve, some what. Welp, he’s managed to slide back into the ‘feckless weasel” category! When are they going to remember….IT’S NOT THEIR MONEY?!
More Delving
SEC. 1233. ADVANCE CARE PLANNING CONSULTATION.
Read the whole section. Look up references to ‘clearing houses’. Interesting. While this definition relates to investments, it pretty much sums up what most of the others say.
Page 1481- lines 19-23: ‘‘(E) An explanation by the practitioner of the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice, and benefits for such services and supports that are available under this title.
Page 1482 – lines 1-8: ‘‘(F)(i) Subject to clause (ii), an explanation of orders regarding life sustaining treatment or similar orders, which shall include—
‘‘(I) the reasons why the development of such an order is beneficial to the individual and the individual’s family and the reasons why such an order should be updated periodically as the health of the individual changes;
Pardon my supposed ignorance, but what business is it of the “Secretary”, or anyone else, for that matter, what goes on between a doctor, patient, and the family? Oh, oops. That’s right. Silly me.
Page 1546/1547 – lines 7-27, 1-6: Marriage and Family Therapist Services
‘‘(jjj)(1) The term ‘marriage and family therapist services’ means services performed by a marriage and family therapist (as defined in paragraph (2)) for the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses, which the marriage and family therapist is legally authorized to perform under State law (or the State regulatory mechanism provided by State law) of the State in which such services are performed, as would otherwise be covered if furnished by a physician or as incident to a physician’s professional service, but only if no facility or other provider charges or is paid any amounts with respect to the furnishing of such services.
‘‘(2) The term ‘marriage and family therapist’ mean an individual who—
‘‘(A) possesses a master’s or doctoral degree which qualifies for licensure or certification as a marriage and family therapist pursuant to State law;
‘‘(B) after obtaining such degree has performed at least 2 years of clinical supervised experience in marriage and family therapy; and ‘‘(C) is licensed or certified as a marriage and family therapist in the State in which marriage and family therapist services are performed.’’.
Defining a marriage councilor? All well and good. I go to my pastor, personally, if I have issues that need addressing, as do a great number of folks I know. I’m wondering if my pastor, and many others, will be prohibited from acting as councilors to their congregations under these new ‘rules’? When they say ‘legally authorized’, I’ve no doubt there will be consequences for any pastor, priest, etc., acting as a councilor.
Page 2147: SEC. 208. LOAN REPAYMENT FOR CIVIL LEGAL ASSISTANCE ATTORNEYS.
This section doesn’t say a whole lot, except changing dates, adding semicolons, etc. But I really have to ask….what do loan payment to lawyers have to do with so called ‘health care’?
LOANS ELIGIBLE FOR LIBOR-BASED CALCULATION? (page 2161) Isn’t that related to home loans? The name Fannie Mae popped up.
I notice this bill also address ‘education’. Education. EARLY childhood education.
Page 2271 – lines 16-24: Evaluating barriers to improving the quality of early learning programs serving low-income children, including evaluating barriers to successful interagency collaboration and coordination, by conducting a review of the statewide strategic reports developed by the State Advisory Councils on Early Care and Education and other relevant reports, reporting the findings of such review to Congress, and disseminating relevant research findings and best practices.
Small 2 legged guinea pigs to find out which methods of indoctrination works best? Just asking.
To quote a memo released yesterday by Ninny’s office (Office of the Assistant to the Speaker): Many of the conservative activists are not opposing the actual provisions in the bill, but are instead reacting to a caricature of the reform bill presented by right-wing media outlets. Uh. Wrong. On both counts! Folks out here are actually READING the bills you assjacks are shoving down our throats, while y’all are not! And we STILL oppose it!
