The Health Care Bill Americans Don’t Want
by J. D. Longstreet
Just a snippet:
Why is it so difficult for the democrats to understand that Americans would have settled for insurance coverage for those unable to afford it? THAT we could do. It would be a strain but we could manage to pay for it. What Americans do not want is Universal Healthcare with a trillion and a half dollar price tag, which we cannot pay for!
Americans also do not want the so-called public option. Americans do not want anybody, or anything, or any entity, between them and their doctor! Period! When the government announces IT will be the gatekeeper between all Americans and their sacred relationship with their personal physician, the national ire began rising.
Read the whole post here.
We’ve called, faxed, emailed, and had face to face meetings with our so called representatives. To no avail. I even saw one stand up on the House floor and blatantly claim that the town hall meetings were in FAVOR of this fiasco called ‘health care reform’. When a person is threatened with a fine and jail for not complying, this is not about care. No, this is CONTROL.
If you are such a weak willed person, you need someone telling what to do, how to live, I’m sure Castro or Chavez will make room for you. I, however, am an American. A natural born citizen, bred with independence of mind, and spirit. I will not go quietly.

Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”
An FYI
In 2009, the protection of a shiny bait fish in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta has cost California’s Central Valley farm economy more than 35,285 jobs; $1.6 billion in revenue and a 40-percent unemployment rate in towns surrounded by parched fields.

Lies of Omission
Hospital chief critical of reform plan
Magnolia Regional Health Center CEO Rick Napper sees troubled times ahead for health care if the currently proposed reforms become law.
In a presentation Monday at the Corinth Coliseum, Napper said hospital closings, physician shortages and rationed care are all in store under the Democratic plans pending in Congress. He said he has spent much time reviewing the legislation and monitoring committee meetings on the reforms.
Y’see, things like this don’t matter to Obama, Pelosi, or any of the other socialists/marxists/whatever they are. As long as they destroy, control, and enslave, that’s all that matters.
“The damage will be immediate,” said Napper. “You will see hospitals and physicians starting to react to that plan in January 2010. I know we will. We’ve got scenarios set up based on which plan goes through.” Napper said he does support the concept of health care reform but likened the current proposals to the Titanic.
Yep, we’ll sink a LOT faster than the Titanic too. Right now, I see us scrambling for the lifeboats, and there just aren’t enough. How many doctors have you heard say they will be getting out of the profession if this goes through? I’ve heard a LOT, but that doesn’t matter to the weasels either, because once all the old folks are unable to get health care, we won’t need as many.
He said what the public is hearing about the proposed reforms omits critical details. “I do not believe any of the politicians are lying to you,” said Napper. “I just don’t think they are telling you the truth.”
Oh yeah, there are a LOT of tidbits those yahoos keep leaving out when they chat on MSNBC, CNN, or any of the alphabets. I wonder if any of those so called ‘journalists’ have bothered to read even a portion of this bill they are so hot to push on the American people, doing Obama’s bidding? Um….in other words, they actually ARE lying.
The hospital chief said the plans will essentially force hospitals to accept all patients at Medicare rates, which he described as less than the cost of providing the services. And he believes physicians who are in a position to do so will want to get out of the business. “Physician shortages will occur first in rural communities like ourselves because physicians will have to see huge volumes to make money,” said Napper.
I realize there are so many on the left who have this envy problem. But there’s a few things they’ve forgotten, like the many years that physicians have been through school, the loans a great many of them are still paying, the price of the equipment that is used, the rent on the building where you sit and wait, the salaries of the nurses, the receptionist, the electricity, the insurance, supplies, and any other number of things I can’t think of right now. Why do they want to drag down others? Just to make themselves feel better? If they want to blame someone for the increasing cost of health care, they should no farther than those who are trying to take it over right now in D.C.
Stick To Sports!
My heart goes out to the victims of the Fort Hood and Orlando shootings and their loved ones. Senseless, senseless incidents. I will not go quietly into the night on this one. America needs to do something about idiots with handguns. How many more Fort Hoods and Orlandos do there have to be before our political leaders have the guts to severely restrict access to murderous weapons?
The attacker at Ft Hood was a MUSLIM TERRORIST. The guy in Orlando was just plain crazy. Comparing the two as the same thing was your first mistake.
IF the soldiers at Ft Hood had been armed, as they should have been IMHO, this guy wouldn’t have gotten past the first couple of shots. If workers in Orlando had been armed, this guy would have been stopped cold.
When are the ignorant going to stop blaming the guns?

Evil In Our Midst
Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America’s Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.
He also told colleagues at America’s top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.
Could someone please give me a rational explanation of just why this excrement was not behind bars? That whole diversity and tolerance thing just doesn’t wash! The PC crap is getting our soldiers killed, not just here, but overseas as well. This is a WAR! You don’t let the enemy in the front door, and welcome them with open arms and roses!
Veterinarians and Bio Fuel?
Seriously, what does any of this have to do with “health care”??
A Few Bloggers Reaction to Our Impending Slavery
Holy Coast: Scripted Votes and Pro-Life Suckers
I saw some people “Tweeting” that “millions of lives had just been saved” because Stupak had passed, but it was a Pyrrhic victory at best. Pro-lifers won the battle but in so doing guaranteed that they would lose the war. Single-issue voters are often their own worst enemies.
Blue Collar Muse: Barack Obama, a Black Man, is Now the Most Grotesque Slave Owner in History
That Barack Obama and Democrats may be offended by this truth or deny it is irrelevant. They are slave owners, now. They have subjected millions of Americans to work to provide for them involuntarily. They own this nation’s Producers and control them. They determine what will be produced and will require millions to labor to produce it for millions more under penalty of fines or imprisonment. No one has the right to fail to participate.
I whole heartedly agree with this particular statement:
I will be free or I will die fighting for my freedom. Barack Obama calls for me to lay down my Liberty. I dare him, if he is man enough, to come and take it from me himself.
American and Proud: Pelosi got her wish…America you WERE a GREAT Country.
Well Pelosi and her fellow libtards managed to force the biggest government grab of power and mandates EVER in our history last night. So the count is three.
Pelosi’s house passed Cap and trade, the second stimulus, and now this totally illegal, immoral and stupid bill of health care reform.
Black & Right: The “Or Else…” Party
It was almost comical, watching the Democrats argue against the Stupak Amendment, blasting the notion that women would lose their right to choose if taxpayers didn’t pick up the tab on abortions. For decades, the Democrats tried to come off as the party of “choice”, but that was all dashed to pieces with the Saturday night House passage of the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962).
The Other McCain: ObamaCare passes the House
With passage of the House bill, proponents of this measure have forfeited the glittering-generality advantage. The specifics of this massive legislation will likely prove its undoing.
Real Debate Wisconsin: It is official
The American people are not stupid, in a little less than a year these people will be removed from power. I just hope we can make it that far.
Hopefully we can undo all the damage that is being done.
Chicago Ray: Sneaky Democrats Tell America “You’re Getting This Whether You Like It Or Not”
Pardon me San Fran Nan if I don’t say thank you….meanwhile it’s high time to run these people out of office from the top down, starting with this power hungry witch, we’ll deal with Obama once Congress is cleaned out, which won’t be a problem after 9 months of financial ruin and deficit spending as far as the Hubble Telescope can see..

House Votes to Pass Health Care Bill
In a victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House narrowly passed landmark health care legislation Saturday night to expand coverage to tens of millions who lack it and place tough new restrictions on the insurance industry. Republican opposition was nearly unanimous.
The 220-215 vote cleared the way for the Senate to begin debate on the issue that has come to overshadow all others in Congress.

Editorial From Washington Times
Too scared to recognize terrorism
Ignoring facts isn’t sensitive; it is suicidal
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was declared “not a terrorist” before the facts were out – even before officials were sure whether the attacker was alive or dead. Failing to honestly name a terrorist attack despite the evidence is as destructive and dishonest as leaping to call an attack terrorism without the facts to support that.
Apparently, the claim was based largely on the fact that Maj. Hasan appears to have been a lone gunman. However, terrorism is defined not by the number of people involved, but by the motivations and intentions of the attacker. If reports about him are true, Maj. Hasan clearly was a terrorist.
