My apologies for not having posted in a while. I was at my Grandma's for a wedding, and you can't go on the Internet at her house without using her phone line.
This week I'll be going to North Carolina for my great-grandma's one hundredth birthday. Yeah. I salute the long, full, happy life of my great-grandma. I love her so much, her stories, her hugs.
If Obama rips her life away, or any other valuable citizens', for that matter, then... Hitler would be proud, because he did the same thing.
Speaking of which, Fidel Castro already IS proud.
And apparently he agrees with the liberal media: anyone who watches Fox News (and therefore opposes Obama) is paranoid and racist.
Call me crazy (or paranoid or racist), but when the former President of a communist nation praises your President, well, I think there might be reason for a bit of paranoia.
Apparently on the U.S.' long list of friends, among them terrorists and Hitler, we can now find Fidel Castro. Aren't we the popular ones.

Libby Is At It Again
Libby (for Liberal) is my nickname for basically all the news networks besides Fox. You know, the liberally biased ones.
ABC and NBC have refused to air Anti-ObamaCare advertisements. Why? I have no idea. I guess they just don't want to have their viewers exposed to what Fox News viewers (the paranoid, racist ones) are exposed to. The truth.
I mean, I understand. The truth hurts. But euthanasia, abortion, liying and misleading governments, and the demise of a nation hurts worse. Ask all the other socialists, and especially ask the folks in Canada who have to wait four months (they're working on cutting it down to two) for an M.R.I.

Paranoid and Racist
According to MSNBC, anyone who watches Fox News is paranoid and racist.
Well.
Paranoid, no. Worried about the welfare of my country? Yeah. Sorry, I hadn't realized that that, too, is now a crime, right next to dissent. Legalize patriotism, jeez.
Racist? Any liberal who watches MSNBC and supports Planned Parenthood is racist, because Planned Parenthood was established to cut down on "impure" reproduction. A.K.A. African American and other races. There are people who would only donate money to the organization if their money was used to kill a black baby. And the organization was happy to comply.
Wait-- any good Conservative is likely to have watched Fox News, which was proven in a study to be the most balanced news network. Hmm. And don't Conservatives oppose Planned Parenthood? Does that mean they oppose a racist organization? Could it be? Heck yeah.
Fox News is the most balanced because it isn't filled with radical, sadistic lunatics. It focuses on facts and logic rather than letting emotion and bias affect it.
Anyway, NOW, in addition to being called racist, demented, racist, biased, racist, annoying, racist, misleading, racist, lying, and racist, I am now called paranoid and racist.
Well.

"Do It For Ted"
It makes me sick how the Dems don't even mourn Ted Kennedy for a full day and then they start insisting that we should pass healthcare reform "For Ted". "Do it for Ted" is apparently the new destruction-of-the-nation-one-bit-at-a-time slogan. He may have agreed with Obama, but if we "do it for Ted", someday he's going to look down on America and say, "Dang it. I see the truth now, but it's too late. America is socialist, quickly approaching communism. I should have done something. I thought I was doing the right thing, but I see it now. I wish America could have seen it, too."
Ted Kennedy worked hard to help our country, even though his policies were many a time misguided or lefty. So if the Dems aren't going to let him rest in freaking peace for one day without using his memory to promote their agenda, fine. I just have one more thing to say.
Ted Kennedy most likely sees things in perspective from where he is now. If he doesn't he'll be forced to watch his nation be destroyed. Either way, like I said, this is my final statement. Refuse ObamaCare (not all forms of reform, just the current one); do what's best for America, that's what he'd have wanted, regardless of whether he thought it would work while he was here. He'll see when America starts prospering again. Do it for America.
Do it for Ted.

The Majority
From FOXNews.com (my comments are italicized)---Supporters of President Obama's plan to overhaul the health system, in an acknowledged attempt to reverse growing opposition to the plan, are planning a fusillade of rallies and bus tours starting this week.
Health Care for American Now, an umbrella organization of groups supporting Obama's plan, is coordinating its efforts with Organizing for America, the Obama campaign organization now melded into the national Democratic Party, which reputedly has an e-mail list of up to 13 million names.

Health Care for American Now, an umbrella organization of groups supporting Obama's plan, is coordinating its efforts with Organizing for America, the Obama campaign organization now melded into the national Democratic Party, which reputedly has an e-mail list of up to 13 million names.
Together, they plan 1,000 events before the congressional recess ends September 8. The title for the blitz: "Health insurance reform now, let's get it done."
Defy the majority of America, increase debt, murder innocent people, ignore America now, let's get it done.
"We want to send members of Congress back to D.C. with the real message, which is that the majority of the public want comprehensive health care reform and we want it now," said Jacki Schechner, spokeswoman for HCAN.
36% of us support ObamaCare. 42% oppose it. Unless all my math teachers were wrong, 42 is more than 36. The majority of the public want comprehensive words from their leaders (not incoherent contradiction) and they want it now.
"We want to make sure members of Congress understand the last couple of weeks is not where the majority of the public is," said Schechner, referring to rowdy town hall meetings dominated by critics of the Democrats' plans.
No, the majority of the public agrees with those who disagree with ObamaCare, there just wasn't enough room for all the opposers at the meetings, so some stayed home. WE want to make sure that you understand that the majority of the public is fed up with this healthcare crap.
As conservative groups have organized against Democrats' health care legislation and cast it as a government takeover of health care, polls have shown fading public support for sweeping changes and skepticism over Obama's handling of the issue.
Well, it's a good thing the majority of the public still agrees with Obama, 'cause I was starting to worry that my Granny would make it and... oh... they figured him out already?
The events will mostly be large rallies, speeches and press conferences where the public will be invited to cheer or listen -- though not express the kind of opposition or ask the kinds of questions that have contributed to increased opposition to health care reform in many polls.
A nationwide DNC bus tour to spread the word starts Wednesday in Phoenix and continues through 10 more cities.
Yeah, no voicing any opposition. We wouldn't want anyone to think for a nanosecond that the majority of the public was really AGAINST ObamaCare.
Each city will include a big rally organized with the help of unions. DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse said there will also be numerous large press conferences "in big public spaces" with lawmakers and people with individual health care stories the nation should hear.
Democrats say they held more than 500 town hall meetings in the first half of the congressional recess. Town halls will not be the main focus of the second half of the break, though they will continue and be organized nationally.
This would seem to be directly at odds with the general complaint among Democrats that some opposition to health care reform at town halls this summer has appeared to be organized. The attempted smear is they are not grassroots but "astroturf" -- a term that suggests that it was manufactured.
In fact the opposition has been organized at the grassroots level outside Washington, which is exactly what Democrats in Washington are now doing, with the help of labor unions, to push the pro-reform agenda.
Hypocrites. Well, at least you're doing the best thing for America, what the majority of Americans want...

Are Short-Term "Advances" Caused by Long-Term Memory Loss?
My archnemesis, a liberal guy at my school, says, "Well, Obama may be giving us a fair amount of debt, but Bush gave us, like, all the debt we already had." Usually he has a more eloquent and sarcastic argument, and he's usually more well-informed (sadly). I didn't even bother arguing. Rationalizing to make the problem seem smaller is a common trick. So the following information, from heritage.org (I think the info is originally from the Washington Post and heritage.org just put it on their site) is dedicated to him.
-President Bush expanded the federal budget by a historic $700 billion through 2008. President Obama would add another $1 trillion.
-President Bush began a string of expensive financial bailouts. President Obama is accelerating that course.
-President Bush created a Medicare drug entitlement that will cost an estimated $800 billion in its first decade. President Obama has proposed a $634 billion down payment on a new government health care fund.
-President Bush increased federal education spending 58 percent faster than inflation. President Obama would double it.
-President Bush became the first President to spend 3 percent of GDP on federal antipoverty programs. President Obama has already increased this spending by 20 percent.
-President Bush tilted the income tax burden more toward upper-income taxpayers. President Obama would continue that trend.
-President Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), President Obama’s budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016.
Now, some people say that we got out of the Great Depression because of spending. Sure, it increased our debt and only lasted for a short period of time and ultimately, along with additional spending, led us to the crisis we have today, but still, it got us out, right? That's what I'm saying about short-term results. They don't work and eventually just make things worse.
Sorry to burst your bubbles, liberals.
Maybe the reason we keep making these short-term advances is because we have long-term memory loss and thus we can't learn from history.

What's Worse-- Ignorant Impropriety or Iniquitous Intent?
Which is worse? Not knowing you're doing wrong and doing it, or knowing you're doing wrong and doing it? I'd say the latter, but I don't know. You see, I've been trying to figure out whether Obama is trying to destroy America or whether he's just one of those people who goes in and wrecks everything on accident. It is really beyond my reasoning that he can think he's doing any amount of good. But then again, maybe it's possible. I've never met a lunatic before... much less had one run my country. This could get interesting.
I mean, he says, "It's going to cost two trillion dollars to exterminate the Granny population, but when it's all said and done, you'll thank me." And we're supposed to trust this wacko who wasted our future, and to do what? Kill our Grandmas and our children?
Gosh, I'm sorry. I've been saying that over and over and over and over some more. You must be getting tired of hearing me say "Grannies and babies" all the time. So let's talk about something else, like Obama's great impact on the economy, and what we predict for the future.
Wait-- what economy?

Financial Burdens and Objects
How many of you feel like life isn't worth living? Do you feel as though you are a financial burden on your family? Come on, does anyone even really want you around? Do you feel unloved or unwanted? If so, do us all a favor and die so healthcare can cost less.
Weird, huh? That's basically what senior citizens are going to be hearing if reform in healthcare is passed. I can see it now, Grannies across the country muttering, "I miss the good old days when you could have a stroke in peace."
And seriously. About the "financial burden" thing? They will literally ask questions like that. To a PERSON. We are treating PEOPLE as objects. Possessions.
If Obama doesn't understand, let me explain. A few hundred years ago, there was this really horrible thing going on. It is called slavery. Slavery was started because some people decided that other people weren't worth as much as they were, so they made them work torturous hours and gave them no pay and sometimes beat them. Slavery was ended because people are not objects. That is why enslaving the elderly and the unborn to our whims is not all right. This is discrimination.
Just imagine: my Grandma has a heart attack and survives. I am soooo glad. Then the governmeent comes in and convinces her to DIE. What the...? "Gee, Sarah, I'm so sorry. How'd she die?" my friends would ask. And I'd say, "HEALTH CARE KILLED HER."
How can you try convince a person to surrender their life for the greater good? That's inhumane! Kill yourself so... so what? How will we benefit from having all the old people euthanized? And how is it wrong to go into a war (a just war--not an unfair one) to protect your country with honor, but it is perfectly acceptable to be living a perfectly normal life as a stroke survivor and then have someone come along and convince you to die just because you had a change in condition?
Let me get this straight. I can't die for my country in a war, but I can die "for my country" just because I moved to a nursing home? And maybe they're convincing the elderly to die to give their grandkids a better life. Well, then, why aren't we convincing mothers to have babies so their kids can have a life? Less than 4% of abortions are cases of rape, incest, or serious medical issues. So there would be few women dying, especially if the doctors would try to save both the mom and the child. But no. I can't die for my children, I can't die for my country, but I can die for being a stroke survivor.
You know how they'll be asking the elderly if they are "financial burdens on their families"? Owe-bama, YOU are a financial burden on my family. Get out of the White House.
I have this Nobama sign in my room and occasionally I slap it when I'm really P.O.'d. Well, yesterday I slapped it and I said, "DIE!!!" Then I rephrased my words, because no matter how completely and totally idiotic and ignorant he is, I don't want him to die. So I said, "No, LIVE! Uh... somewhere ELSE!"

Under the Reforms We Seek...
All he says is "under the reforms we seek" this and "under the reforms we seek" that. He has all but given up on gaining GOP leaders' support. Which means what?
Well, first of all, he's figured out that we are not backing down. Give the guy a prize.
Second, who's "we"? You and your band of stubborn liberals? What about America? Ever try listening to us? WE, the people?
But more importantly, it means that he will not listen to them. He gave up on gaining their support instead of listening to their ideas. His bill is the one that he is pushing through. The liberals are not going to listen to anyone else, so it's pretty obvious they won't get support from those whose ideas they refuse to consider.
Speaking of support...
This article is from FoxNews.com...
---If President Obama has his way, you'll soon be hearing about his health care package when you go to your church or synagogue to pray.
Thousands of religious leaders got a call from on high Wednesday when Obama reached out to Jewish and Christian clergy, urging them to push health care reform from the pulpit.
Obama spoke to about 140,000 people of faith in a conference call and webcast Wednesday evening. He and a White House official discussed the moral dimension of health care, telling the mostly Christian audience that "this debate over health care goes to the heart of who we are as a people."
But earlier that day, Obama went much further, asking about 1,000 rabbis to preach his political agenda in their sermons on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year -- one of the holiest days of the year.
The conversation was supposed to be off the record but was captured on the Twitter feeds and blogs of some rabbis who took part in the call, which was organized by the Union of Reform Judaism and included rabbis from other denominations.
"I am going to need your help in accomplishing necessary reform," Obama said, according to Rabbi Jack Moline of Virginia, whose Twitter feed has since been scrubbed of the information.
Obama told the rabbis that "we are God's partners in matters of life and death" and asked them to "tell the stories of health care dilemmas to illustrate what is a stake" in their sermons, Moline wrote.
Critics say Obama's message seemed to "cross a line" and imply a kind of "scriptural or holy support for the program."
"I can't imagine why it would be appropriate for a president even to suggest a partnership with God somehow was connected to his ideas for health care," said the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.
"Whenever politicians give a message that implies that God is on their side on an issue ... this always troubles me."
A White House official told FOX News that Obama spoke at the invitation of the rabbis, who had many questions about health care. Current events often come up in sermons, the official said, and during the highly attended holidays many rabbis and congregants are likely to be interested in discussing the topic.
"We are not asking Rabbis to give a political lecture -- we don't expect everybody will want to hear sermons on health care," the official said.
Mark Pelavin, who organized the call from the Reform movement's Washington office, said the president talked about why the health care system needed to be fixed, but Pelavin declined to discuss Obama's specific remarks.
Pelavin, the associate director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, said his office organizes one or two such calls a year with experts and politicians to discuss issues of great interest to Jewish leaders, and health care was a natural topic.
Rabbis may choose to discuss health care in their sermons but will "stay away from partisan politics, but certainly they'll talk about issues that are facing the country," he told FOXNews.com.
But other rabbis present noted their discomfort with the president's message, and said they believed he was "using religious organizations to promote policy."
"I find the blurring of church and state to be disconcerting, not only on political grounds ... but also for competency," wrote Rabbi Josh Yuter of Manhattan, who was also on the call.
"Rabbis have enough difficulty understanding the nuances and intricacies of their own religion to be promoting specific policies in areas for which they have no expertise."
Lynn, of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said that although Obama is a religious man, he generally avoids emphasizing the religious basis for his decisions, adding he was disappointed that the president had "clouded this debate" with an underlying religious emphasis.
"This seems to, unfortunately, cross a line," he said.---
Is he really that desperate? Must he invade our church services, too? I am almost certain that my priest will not be participating in any kind of health care promotion.
He is trying to use the people many of us listen to to convince us of the awesomeness of his plan. All we are convinced of is his desperation.
God's partners?!? Um, I don't think God wants us to kill our grandparents and our children and allow our country to deescend to its demise. But I could be wrong. God gave us freedom of choice, so even if something is majorly wrong, we can still do it. Besides, how does he dare to insist that God is on his side? What if God is on our side? What if he's on Bigfoot's side? How does Obama know? Either he's really sure of himself or he's really worried about whether or not his bill will pass. I'm going with the latter.
This does more than cross a line. I never thought I'd see the day when, since he could not find enough support elsewhere, a President insinuated that his proposal was divine, sent by God, and turned to religious leaders for support.
But I guess there's a first time for everything.
Well, first of all, he's figured out that we are not backing down. Give the guy a prize.

"I am going to need your help in accomplishing necessary reform," Obama said, according to Rabbi Jack Moline of Virginia, whose Twitter feed has since been scrubbed of the information.
Obama told the rabbis that "we are God's partners in matters of life and death" and asked them to "tell the stories of health care dilemmas to illustrate what is a stake" in their sermons, Moline wrote.
Critics say Obama's message seemed to "cross a line" and imply a kind of "scriptural or holy support for the program."
"I can't imagine why it would be appropriate for a president even to suggest a partnership with God somehow was connected to his ideas for health care," said the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.
"Whenever politicians give a message that implies that God is on their side on an issue ... this always troubles me."
A White House official told FOX News that Obama spoke at the invitation of the rabbis, who had many questions about health care. Current events often come up in sermons, the official said, and during the highly attended holidays many rabbis and congregants are likely to be interested in discussing the topic.
"We are not asking Rabbis to give a political lecture -- we don't expect everybody will want to hear sermons on health care," the official said.
Mark Pelavin, who organized the call from the Reform movement's Washington office, said the president talked about why the health care system needed to be fixed, but Pelavin declined to discuss Obama's specific remarks.
Pelavin, the associate director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, said his office organizes one or two such calls a year with experts and politicians to discuss issues of great interest to Jewish leaders, and health care was a natural topic.
Rabbis may choose to discuss health care in their sermons but will "stay away from partisan politics, but certainly they'll talk about issues that are facing the country," he told FOXNews.com.
But other rabbis present noted their discomfort with the president's message, and said they believed he was "using religious organizations to promote policy."
"I find the blurring of church and state to be disconcerting, not only on political grounds ... but also for competency," wrote Rabbi Josh Yuter of Manhattan, who was also on the call.
"Rabbis have enough difficulty understanding the nuances and intricacies of their own religion to be promoting specific policies in areas for which they have no expertise."
Lynn, of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said that although Obama is a religious man, he generally avoids emphasizing the religious basis for his decisions, adding he was disappointed that the president had "clouded this debate" with an underlying religious emphasis.
"This seems to, unfortunately, cross a line," he said.---
Is he really that desperate? Must he invade our church services, too? I am almost certain that my priest will not be participating in any kind of health care promotion.
He is trying to use the people many of us listen to to convince us of the awesomeness of his plan. All we are convinced of is his desperation.
God's partners?!? Um, I don't think God wants us to kill our grandparents and our children and allow our country to deescend to its demise. But I could be wrong. God gave us freedom of choice, so even if something is majorly wrong, we can still do it. Besides, how does he dare to insist that God is on his side? What if God is on our side? What if he's on Bigfoot's side? How does Obama know? Either he's really sure of himself or he's really worried about whether or not his bill will pass. I'm going with the latter.
This does more than cross a line. I never thought I'd see the day when, since he could not find enough support elsewhere, a President insinuated that his proposal was divine, sent by God, and turned to religious leaders for support.
But I guess there's a first time for everything.

Obama's Address
Note: I was reading this address on Right-Wing Conspiracy, so I googled it and decided to comment on it myself. My comments are italicized.
OBAMA'S ADDRESS
Each and every day in this country, Americans are grappling with health care premiums that are growing three times the rate of wages and insurance company policies that limit coverage and raise out-of-pocket costs. Thousands are losing their insurance coverage each day.
Without real reform, the burdens on America’s families and businesses will continue to multiply. We’ve had a vigorous debate about health insurance reform, and rightly so. This is an issue of vital concern to every American, and I’m glad that so many are engaged.
But it also should be an honest debate, not one dominated by willful misrepresentations and outright distortions, spread by the very folks who would benefit the most by keeping things exactly as they are.
You're right, it should be an honest debate. But since you still hold the title of All-Time Hypocrite, it would be too much to ask for you to abide by your own words to us. You are the one weaving in and out of different opinions, confusing America. You are the one presenting outright distortions, either that or you have no clue what you're talking about, in which case you should resign immediately. We do not spread THE TRUTH because we are intent on keeping things the way they are, but because if we accept the "change" you are shoving up our noses, health care will become much worse. Currently, the majority of Americans like the system we have now, and polls show growing unease about your health care plan. We do need to make things better, and many Conservatives and Republicans have put forth ideas that you, for some reason, refuse to consider. If your goal was really to do what's best for America, wouldn't you consider suggestions from all Americans, no matter what their party?
So today, I want to spend a few minutes debunking some of the more outrageous myths circulating on the internet, on cable TV, and repeated at some town halls across this country.
So the opinions of those who oppose you are written off as myths because you want your outrageous bill passed? The truth is dismissed as folly because you are too intent on proving that you're right?
Let’s start with the false claim that illegal immigrants will get health insurance under reform. That’s not true. Illegal immigrants would not be covered. That idea has never even been on the table. Some are also saying that coverage for abortions would be mandated under reform. Also false. When it comes to the current ban on using tax dollars for abortions, nothing will change under reform. And as every credible person who has looked into it has said, there are no so-called “death panels” – an offensive notion to me and to the American people. These are phony claims meant to divide us.
I don't know why all the Dems are voting against an amendment that would prevent illegal immigrants from using the health care plan if the plan doesn't include immigrants. It's just hypocritical nonsense (Are you tired of me using the word "hypocritical" all of the time? I'm tired of having to use it, too). And if there are no death panels, then why did Ezekiel Emmanuel insist that we need a "priority curve" (a fancy term for "death panels) in our health plan? The fact that you think we're stupid enough to buy your health care plan is an offensive notion to the American people.
And we’ve all heard the charge that reform will somehow bring about a government takeover of health care. I know that sounds scary to many folks. It sounds scary to me, too. But here’s the thing: it’s not true. I no sooner want government to get between you and your doctor than I want insurance companies to make arbitrary decisions about what medical care is best for you, as they do today. As I’ve said from the beginning, under the reform we seek, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your private health insurance plan, you can keep your plan. Period.
Then why did you say that you didn't think we could eliminate the public option immediately, but we could over time? And, um, you're a liberal. Aren't liberals socialist? And didn't I hear you say somethingabout a "government overhaul"...
Now, the source of a lot of these fears about government-run health care is confusion over what’s called the public option. This is one idea among many to provide more competition and choice, especially in the many places around the country where just one insurer thoroughly dominates the marketplace. This alternative would have to operate as any other insurer, on the basis of the premiums it collects. And let me repeat – it would be just an option; those who prefer their private insurer would be under no obligation to shift to a public plan.
Let me tell you why ther's a confusion over the public option. Actually, I don't have to tell you. All you need to do is to look at the things you've said in the past regarding the public option. And you'll see why we're CONFUSED. And, like Right-Wing Conspiracy states, if your public option is so great, people will switch to that. With the loss of customers, insurance companies will be forced to raise prices. And then those remaining in private insurance plans will leave, too. Finally, the private insurers will go bankrupt, and what you said wouldn't happen will, in fact, happen. I don't know why I'm telling you this, though. You would've known all along.
The insurance companies and their allies don’t like this idea, or any that would promote greater competition. I get that. And I expect there will be a lot of discussion about it when Congress returns.
They don't like the idea because they want to STAY IN BUSINESS!
But this one aspect of the health care debate shouldn’t overshadow the other important steps we can and must take to reduce the increasing burdens families and businesses face.
One aspect? What about death panels, illegal immigrants, and abortion?
So let me stress them again: If you don’t have insurance, you will finally have access to quality coverage you can afford. If you do have coverage, you will benefit from more security and more stability when it comes to your insurance. If you move, lose your job, or change jobs, you will not have to worry about losing health coverage. And we will set up tough consumer protections that will hold insurance companies accountable and stop them from exploiting you with unfair practices.
We’ll prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage because of a person’s medical history. They will not be able to drop your coverage if you get sick. They will not be able to water down your coverage when you need it most. They will no longer be able to place some arbitrary cap on the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or a lifetime. We’ll place a limit on how much you can be charged for out-of-pocket expenses, because no one in America should go broke because they get sick.
And we will require insurance companies to cover routine checkups and preventive care, like mammograms and colonoscopies. There’s no reason we shouldn’t be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer on the front end. That makes sense, it saves lives, and it will also save money over the long-run. Taken together, the reforms we’re seeking will help bring down skyrocketing costs, which will mean real savings for families, businesses, and government.
We know what a failure to act would bring: More of the same. More of the same exploding costs. More of the same diminished coverage. If we fail to act, the crisis will grow. More families will go without coverage. More businesses will be forced to drop or water down their plans.
You're right. But if we act in the way you plan to, things won't stay the same. They'll get worse. Listen to your people.
So we can push off the day of reckoning and fail to deal with the flaws in the system, just as Washington has done, year after year, decade after decade. Or we can take steps that will provide every American family and business a measure of security and stability they lack today.
It has never been easy, moving this nation forward. There are always those who oppose it, and those who use fear to block change. But what has always distinguished America is that when all the arguments have been heard, and all the concerns have been voiced, and the time comes to do what must be done, we rise above our differences, grasp each others’ hands, and march forward as one nation and one people, some of us Democrats, some of us Republicans, all of us Americans.
You're right. It never has been easy, because there are all these liberal political leaders in the way. All the arguments have been heard, maybe, but not listened to. My mom used to tell me there was a difference. I was really not interested in the lecture she was giving, and she could tell. "Are you listening?" she'd ask. "I hear you," I'd reply. "There's a difference," she'd tell me. "You can hear music in the background, but pausing to listen to the words and the different instruments is different from just hearing it." Are we just background noise to you, Mr. President? Or have all the arguments been LISTENED TO, all concerns voiced? And if we are all Americans, how come you express doubt that a bi-partisan compromise can be reached? Are we that hopelessly lost to you? Or are we just informed?
This is our chance to march forward. I cannot promise you that the reforms we seek will be perfect or make a difference overnight. But I can promise you this: if we pass health insurance reform, we will look back many years from now and say, this was the moment we summoned what’s best in each of us to make life better for all of us. This was the moment when we built a health care system worthy of the nation and the people we love. This was the moment we earned our place alongside the greatest generations. And that is what our generation of Americans is called to do right now.
If we pass reform (yours) now, we'll look back years from now and say, "Gol dang it, if he hadn't passed that stupid reform, I wouldn't be sitting here waiting to get RATIONALIZED!"
I know what my generation is called to do right now. I'm doing it RIGHT NOW, by clicking "PUBLISH POST"!!!

Spending Your Money in an Attempt To Sell the Healthcare Plan NOBODY WANTS
The government is obviously desperate to convince America that it needs government intervention. They hired (hired as in paid, with your taxpayer dollars) a private communications company called Govdelivery to send mass emails proclaiming the almighty infallibility of the government and their wonderful, divine healthcare plan. So you ended up paying for an email you don't want. Jeez. You'd think they weren't THAT intent on force-feeding their sickeningly mad healthcare plan to the unwilling American population. But once again, we underestimated them.
Maybe America would be less unwilling (the liberal percentage, at least, would be) if Obama would stop flip-flopping and at least put a greater effort into pretending to actually know what he's talking about. Oh, well, I guess his well of deception has temporarily run dry. But don't give up hope, poor liberals, those who thirst for power, money, and the elimination of unborn children and Grannies everywhere. I'm sure he'll soon be back on his feet. Not really. Why?
Well, most of America opposes his healthcare plan, because, strange as it may seem, they value human life and they value America. They value their children and they value their Grandmas and they value their families and don't want them ripped apart by TWO TRILLION DOLLARS of more debt loaded on them over the next ten years, the time in which their children may hopefully be entering college. They want their families to thrive in this wonderful land known as America, land of the free (not the debt-saturated and debt-captive) and home of the brave (not those who cower before the government). They want their children to grow up healthy and grow old and die naturally, and to have children, and keep their families alive. Keep America alive. They want to live in a nation that strives for the best, with people free to speak and write what they believe. They want to live in a capitalist country, the last superpower from World War Two. They want to stay the powerful country they are, not have America's position waning as a result of our slow regression into socialism. They want their families to enjoy and love and cherish and fight for and thrive in AMERICA. If Obama is baffled as to why America isn't offering him the popularity they once were, it's as simple as that.
I was watching Fox News this morning, and some girl whose name I didn't catch was promoting the healthcare plan. When asked to relate a time when such government intervention has worked before, she replied, "I'm not a historian." Well, if she's so sure she's right, she'll need evidence to back up her conviction. She doesn't have to be a historian; she just needs to know what she's talking about. Which she doesn't, as evidenced by her further insistence that "there's a first time for everything." Oh, my gosh. I'm supposed to hand over my trust, money, healthcare, and Grandma to my ever-misguided government because "there's a first time for everything"?!?!?
No, thank you. I'll keep my country and my family and my health out of their paws. If the only guarantee that they're doing something right is that "there's a first time for everything", and this just might be that time, then the crazy struggle for a socialist healthcare overhaul is even more pitiful than I imagined. Here's a little script to help you visualize the overwhelming stupidity of this whole mess.
MR. DAWSWORTH: But, sir, many have tried, but all have failed. No one has ever made an anti-human-puncturing knife before. You say it knows human skin and pulls in its blade before contact, but have you ever tested it? Has it worked before?
DR. CAMBRIDGE: Well, that's why I have you. You'll be my first victim, er, subject. You are going to prove my invention's worth to the world!
MR. DAWSWORTH (sweating nervously): Um...
DR. CAMBRIDGE: Great! Just stand there.
MR. DAWSWORTH: How do you know it'll work if it's never worked before?
DR. CAMBRIDGE: There's a first time for everything! (throws knife) Oh, dear... This could prove to be most problematic.
Get the idea? Oh, sure, it's never worked before, but since there's a first time for everything, let's plot our demise more certainly on the coordinate plane of life.
"I'm too young to die!" America is screaming. Well, except for the elderly, who wait in fear of the death panels. They say,
"We're too old to die! Respect your elders!"
Has anyone ever heard of such a despicable mass Holocaust aimed only at the elderly? I've heard of murdering the unborn for no legitimate reason whatsoever, but now we're killing their grandparents? Has a nation ever destroyed itself one level at a time, murdering those they deem worthless until there is no one left? I don't think that's ever happened, but there's a first time for everything.

Trillion is Debt...er, I Mean, DEAD
The word trillion is dead. It is meaningless. It is minuscule and insignificant. And the federal deficit this year is expected to increase by two trillion. One trillion dollars is the cost of the health care plan over ten years. Our national debt is over eleven trillion.
It's actually more than that. Technically. My dad explained it to me, and I'll do my best to explain it to you.
The debt that no one really includes or knows about pertains to Social Security. When they started Social Security, basically people paid in money that they were supposed to get when they retired. Well, the government ended up giving some people more money than they paid in. Other people's Social Security money. Basically, they gave them other people's money sometimes to buy their votes. It worked out for a while, because there were a bunch of people paying in and not a lot of people taking out, so they weren't obligated to return the money to those people. Well, as time went by, more people wanted their money. Which the government didn't have. So the government is in debt to those people.
Oh, well. We'll soon be "rationalizing" all the old people anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem.
It's actually more than that. Technically. My dad explained it to me, and I'll do my best to explain it to you.
The debt that no one really includes or knows about pertains to Social Security. When they started Social Security, basically people paid in money that they were supposed to get when they retired. Well, the government ended up giving some people more money than they paid in. Other people's Social Security money. Basically, they gave them other people's money sometimes to buy their votes. It worked out for a while, because there were a bunch of people paying in and not a lot of people taking out, so they weren't obligated to return the money to those people. Well, as time went by, more people wanted their money. Which the government didn't have. So the government is in debt to those people.
Oh, well. We'll soon be "rationalizing" all the old people anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Liberal Library and Society's Snare
I went to the library today, and there were no Ann Coulter books. I wanted to check out "Guilty". I live in a mostly liberal area, so it doesn't surprise me. Liberal area, liberal library. But I ordered it from a different library.
I think the librarian was a bit skeptical that I was checking out an Ann Coulter book. This is our society: any teenager that isn't in front of a screen is abnormal. Some librarians would creep out if they saw a teenager in a library (unless they were in there to use the computer), let alone checking out a politics-related book.
Kids today are apparently not supposed to care.
Ask my friends. I can't even breathe a word of politics around them. Of course, that's okay. We can talk about other things... books, movies, teachers, friends, music, random thoughts, upcoming tests. But it hurts me to see them recoil every time I mention "Obama" or "government" or "abortion". They shouldn't shrink away from their future. They should embrace it. Savor it. SAVE it. But instead they walk around like zombies, oblivious to the world outside the screen or the stage or the speakers. It's society's snare, and so many can't resist.
Why has society done this to us? It must stop. We must be aware of America. Because before we know it, it will be ours, and we won't know what to do.

The Constitution Movement
I just found out about this, and it's pretty cool.
This is a letter that they're inviting everyone to send (in your own words, preferably).
Dear [Senator or Representative] [your Senators or Representatives name],
“We the People” are tired of what is going on in Washington D.C. “We the People” would like to see you do your real job in Congress, and not make up jobs to keep yourselves busy and waste our tax money, not to mention making unconstitutional law.
Your job in Congress is established in the Constitution under Article 1, Section 8. There are only 18 items listed. Just in case you didn’t know, or have forgotten they will be listed at the end of this letter.
Where is it in the Constitution that Health Care, and Cap and Trade are mentioned? For that matter, where is Social Security, global-warming research, welfare, mass transit, food stamps, minimum wage, Medicaid, Medicare, and unemployment insurance?
You can point to “general welfare” in Article 1, Section 8, to account for your unlimited power you think you possess, but if you knew your history of the United States and the Constitution, you would know that “general welfare” did not mean the welfare of the people. Here is the 1828 edition of Noah Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language, and how the word “welfare” was defined 40 years after it was written in the Constitution:
WEL´FARE, n. [well and fare, a good going; G. wohlfahrt; D. welvaard; Sw. valfart; Dan. velfærd.]1. Exemption from misfortune, sickness, calamity or evil; the enjoyment of health and the common blessings of life; prosperity; happiness; applied to persons.2. Exemption from any unusual evil or calamity; the enjoyment of peace and prosperity, or the ordinary blessings of society and civil government; applies to states.
Welfare did not have the meaning then as it does today. In the Constitution the word “welfare” is used in the context of states. The “welfare of the United States” does not mean the welfare of individuals, people, or citizens.
Here are a few words from our founding fathers on “general welfare” to set you straight:
“If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one….” — James Madison
“Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.” –Thomas Jefferson
“Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.” — James Madison
“I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit.” — President Grover Cleveland
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” — James Madison
It is important that you know your history as well as the Constitution.
Please abide by these rules set forth by our Constitution of these Unites States of America or face removal from office next election.
Your Constituent,[Your name]
P. S.Here is your list of powers authorized to you by the Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, and some more words from our founding fathers.

7. To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;
8. To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

14. To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
17. To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And

Under the Tenth Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
More words from our founding fathers:
“We still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping at the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without a tribute.” — Thomas Paine
“Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” — Ben Franklin
“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.” — James Madison
“I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.’ To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power not longer susceptible of any definition. — Thomas Jefferson
“The greatest [calamity] which could befall [us would be] submission to a government of unlimited powers.” — Thomas Jefferson
“The powers of the federal government are enumerated; it can only operate in certain cases; it has legislative powers on defined and limited objects, beyond which it cannot extend its jurisdiction.” — James Madison

Everything Republicans (and America) Should Be (Commonly Called the Constitution)
The title is a bit lengthy, but whatever. Yes, there was a time when Republicans stood for America and its foundation: the Constitution. And I mean they STOOD for it. They didn't back off and they were a defined party. Not anymore.
The Constitution represents everything America needs to be. It is (or was) the framework for America. And it is what Republicans used to be. Should be. America.
So. Anyway. I am obviously not a Republican anymore, right? I was fine with not having a political party. Until I found this AMAZINGLY AWESOME party called the Constitution party. It's pretty much the most Conservative, what-Republicans-used-to-be, AMERICAN party ever.
I'll put a link on this site to the Constitution Party website. It's pretty amazing that they sound exactly like what Republicans were and what Conservatives are. And the opposite of Obama and liberals everywhere.
They sound like America. Big surprise, since they're framed by the Constitution just like America is.

Ann Coulter.Com
I'm sorry, I just need to say: THIS LADY IS AWESOME!
Check out her column on AnnCoulter.com (I have a link in "Websites to go To). It's pretty funny (of course) and it really makes you think. For those that still insist on wallowing in ignorance, THIS WILL MAKE YOU THINK. You will have no choice but to think.
I invite you to Ann's website. Have fun!
P.S. Fox News is calling Obama's uncertainty on the public option (and everything else, really) the "Public Option Dance". I love it. Ann probably would, too.
Check out both!
Keep thinking!

The Future Is Coming
Today is my sister's tenth birthday. It makes me think of what kind of world we are growing up in. I don't want her to grow up in a socialist-communist regime. I don't want her to watch her grandmother die because our healthcare system has a "priority curve" that it must maintain. I don't want her to grow up and be loaded with the debt of the past. I don't want her to live in a society where life is subject to change or termination according to whim, under the pretense of working for the common good. I don't want her to fear terrorists or her government (and I want her to be able to tell the difference).
So happy birthday, Grace. The future is coming, and I wish us all well.

I Am Not The Only One Confused
I am very confused here. I mean, it makes sense, if you look at it from the perspective of a drunken possum swaying as he tries to hang upside down from his tail while juggling knives coated in acid. Otherwise, not so much.
Let's see. Obama acts all nonchalant about the public option right on the heels of fiercely defending it. THEN, he says he prefers the public option, but is willing to look at other ideas too. I know I've said this before, but it really just looks as if he's totally out of his mind. He has no idea what he thinks, so he tries to decipher what America thinks. As everyone knows, we are full of mixed opinions. Therefore, our President is as well. And that isn't working out so well. Our President should be strong and stand firm (however misguided he may be). I think he's a liberal at heart, but kind of broke down when his wave of popularity caved abruptly.
I am confused, but I AM certain of one thing: he will keep flip-flopping; we need to get this lunatic out of the White House.
At least I'm not the only one confused. All of his strongest supporters are scratching their heads wondering what the heck happened. All of the Conservatives are getting suspicious and confused as well. And, last but not least, Obama is confused as to 1) what he's talking about and 2) where his blind, mindless, endlessly supportive, drooling followers went. Well, here's a newsflash: no matter how stupid you think people are (whether you're right or not), there comes a point where you can't fool them anymore. There comes a point where your moronic behavior overwhelms even them. This is that point in time. I don't know what will happen.
But I'm glad I'm not the only one confused.

Fishy Has Been Caught
Sort of a continuation from my last post.
Well, well, well. Looks like the government shut down the "fishy report" website. Surprise, surprise. Obviously, they figure everyone knows the truth already: the incoherent government has no clue what it's doing.
And, of course, the liberals are mad, saying that without a public option, there is no bill. Interesting how that's almost exactly what Obama was saying not too long ago, but the opposite of what he's saying now. If he's trying to regain political capital, he should give up, because all he's doing is making more people mad. And more right-wingers sure they're right.
Who knows how this thing will end? I say healthcare reform is falling apart, but who knows? There may be "hope" for socialism after all, if Obama discovers a hidden answer in his teleprompter.
Or maybe there's a chance for AMERICA to be what it is supposed to be.

Another American Revolution (We Hope)
I just don't get it. There has to be some ulterior motive to the decision that the public option may be dropped from the healthcare bill. I mean, Obama seemed so sure of himself, so unavailing in his drive to push the bill forward in its gruesome entirety. Then, all of a sudden, the public option isn't a crucial part of the healthcare bill? Sounds a bit FISHY, no?
But on the bright side, maybe, just maybe, the government is finally listening to us. Maybe we're finally speaking up (thus the being listened to). If so, then keep it up.
And, of course, our President has flip-flopped yet again. He claims the "public option" tenet's supreme and undeniable importance one day, and refers to it dismissively the next. Kind of FISHY. The sad thing is, now all of his supporters are ticked off. He might do the right (literally) thing for America, but more likely he'll try to please both sides (which is, of course, impossible). This is the kind of thing he does. He doesn't know what he's talking about, so he just walks around withe a "Place Political Position of Choice Here" sign. And that works out soooo well.
Well, I am proud of America. Whether the government has something fishy up its sleeve (besides your money) or not, I'm proud that we took a stand.
It's the spirit of 1776, and boy, am I glad to see it.
P.S. Don't let your guard down, and don't quit doing what you're doing. In fact, double the guard and the effort. Let's not stop rising until every socialist, thieving liberal is out of the government.
It's the spirit of 1776-- an American Revolution.

Obama's Socialist Healthcare Plan Will Fund Baby Murder (Not Only Do They Want To Kill Grannies, But Their Grandkids, Too)!
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A leading pro-life group has uncovered a questionnaire the campaign of Barack Obama filed with a pro-abortion web site. The survey makes it clear that Obama's national health care plan would include abortions and that they would likely be funded at taxpayer expense.
The Obama campaign responded to a question about health care from the pro-abortion RH Reality Check web site.
"Senator Obama believes that reproductive health care is basic health care," the campaign said, using the phrase that abortion advocates employ to refer to abortion.
"His health care plan will create a new public plan, which will provide coverage of all essential medical services. Reproductive health care is an essential service," the Obama campaign added.
The Obama camp also made it clear that any private insurance companies wanting to participate would also be required to provide abortion coverage.
"And private insurers that want to participate will have to treat reproductive care in the same way," the Obama campaign responded.
Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, says the answers make it clear to him that Obama would fund abortions with federal taxpayer dollars and make people in private insurance plans pay for abortions because insurance companies would pass on the additional costs to customers.
"While the health care debate has largely focused on whom the candidates' plans will fund, more Americans need to understand exactly what they would fund," Perkins explains.
"According to these [questionnaire] excerpts, Obama's plan would treat abortion as a basic health care mandate for both taxpayers and private health insurers to subsidize," Perlkins said.
Previously, the Obama campaign confirmed that his health care plan would cover abortions.
John McCormack, a writer for the magazine Weekly Standard, hoped to resolve the question of whether the Obama plan required abortion coverage in a recent conversation with the Obama campaign.
"During a campaign conference call about health care yesterday, I asked Obama-Biden surrogate Gov. Kathleen Sebelius if Obama's health care plan would mandate coverage for all legal abortions," he wrote this month.
"I really don’t know the specifics of that," Sebelius replied.
"An Obama-Biden spokesman told me via email that he'd find an answer to my question. But subsequent emails and phone calls in the past 24 hours from me to Obama-Biden spokesmen have gone unanswered," McCormack adds.
"Apparently the Obama-Biden campaign doesn't think it needs to provide basic factual information about their candidate's health care plan. Will anyone in the mainstream media hold Obama accountable?" McCormack asks.
Without a specific answer, voters are forced to guess what Obama's plan would do.
McCormack points to the speech Obama gave to Planned Parenthood activists in July 2007, where he pledged to cover abortions in any national health care plan.
"In my mind reproductive care is essential care. It is basic care, and so it is at the center, the heart of the plan that I propose," Obama said. "We're going to set up a public plan that all persons and all women can access if they don’t have health insurance. It'll be a plan that will provide all essential services, including reproductive services"
Mike Dorning of the Chicago Tribune followed up on the Obama speech and reported that an Obama representative said "reproductive services" included abortions.
Well.
I Am A Fish
Apparently, the government has this website where you report people who send or say anything "fishy" about healthcare reform. Basically, you report anyone who disagrees with them. Basically, you report anyone who exercises freedom of speech. Anyone "fishy". Oops, looks like I am a fish!
All I can say is, I don't even know why we have the Constitution. Seriously. This is beyond socialism. This is communism.
Oh, my gosh, why don't I just report the government to that website? They are the ones who seem fishy. I mean, they don't care about killing your Grandma, so what's fishier than that? People are money-sucking objects to them. And they can't take away our freedom of speech. I can send whatever emails I want within reason. If they're scared people will see the truth and actually want to save their Grannies, well, for once they have a legitimate fear. I oppose healthcare reform, and if I'm racist or unpatriotic in the eyes of the government for that, well, at least I don't RATIONALIZE my people!
I am ready to defend my country, my Constitution, my rights, and my Grandma.
All I can say is, I don't even know why we have the Constitution. Seriously. This is beyond socialism. This is communism.
Oh, my gosh, why don't I just report the government to that website? They are the ones who seem fishy. I mean, they don't care about killing your Grandma, so what's fishier than that?

I Sense A Trend...
The economy is recovering, right? The experts say it is, so it is, right? Obama didn't pass that stupid stimulus bill for nothing... right? Come ON!
Wrong.
I sense a trend in Obama's bills. They are all focused on the short term effects. Like the stimulus bill. I mean, our debt will catch up to us sooner or later, along with the fact that our government tried to spend its way out. The 787 billion dollar increase in debt will not help us, I don't care what the experts say.
I do, however, have faith in mankind. We will pull through. If we become smarter and make better decisions. If we don't elect murderous, hypocritical, lying, socialist liberals.
Why do I have this faith when we have the one of the biggest liberals in the country sitting in the White House?
Because, as a Conservative, I am also Christian. And I believe that God will not leave us to regress into stupidity and chaos. So there is hope, if you listen and stop voting for those who murder babies, those who fraternize with terrorists, those who "rationalize" the population starting with the elderly, those who think they can spend their way out of debt, and those who have no respect for human life or any common sense whatsoever.
First you listen, then you speak.
I have faith in the overwhelming multitude of nine followers on this blog, who rarely ever visit and only one of them (my mom) has left a comment (no offense guys, I know you're busy; I'm still waiting to get on the "Best Conservative Blogs List" (the CONLIST) on urbanconservative.com, but when I do, you nine won't be alone (I'm hoping)). Listen and then go out and speak.
Really, go do something. They can't do anything to you for just stating your opinion. At least, I don't think they've started mauling the Constitution yet. But never fear. And by the way, don't listen to Obama (duh). What I mean is, don't hope for change. Change for [the sake of] hope. We can't hope for change if we don't even know what it looks like. And we can't just hope. We have to change it ourselves (as opposed to letting the government do it for us (a.k.a. get nothing done at an expensive cost (a.k.a. socialism (which is commonly disguised as "hope and change")))).
If you understood that, you better run for Congress, because you're better at reading than they are (since, you know, you actually read it (and, wonder of wonders, not only did you read it, but you took the time to care about understanding it)).
Anyway...
This Obama Short Term Trend is really annoying, but I wouldn't mind one addition to it: a short term for Obama. Yeah, you heard me. Let's impeach him, and if not that, unplug the teleprompter so that he'll resign on his own from embarrassment.
Let's Be Trendsetters for the End of an Error. Obama Needs One More Addition To His Short Term Trend.

Palin: Obama 'Misleading' Public on Proposed End-of-Life Care
From FOXNEWS.COM
____________________________________________________________________Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said President Obama is "misleading" the public about his health plan that she says would create a "death panel" to deny care to the neediest Americans.
In a Facebook posting Wednesday evening, she also said Obama is making light of concerns over the end-of-life counseling proposed in the Democratic-sponsored health care plan, and that the branding of the counseling as "voluntary" isn't so cut and dried.
A health care bill passed by three House committees allows Medicare to reimburse doctors for counseling sessions about end-of-life decisions. But critics have claimed the provision could lead to death panels and euthanasia for seniors.
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement Thursday that the provision had been dropped from the Senate version now under consideration because it could be misinterpreted or implemented incorrectly.
Obama on Tuesday said the Democratic health care legislation would not create "death panels" to deny care to frail seniors -- or "basically pull the plug on grandma because we decided that it's too expensive to let her live anymore," as the president put it.
Rather, Obama contended the provision that led to such talk would only authorize Medicare to pay doctors for counseling patients about end-of-life care if they want it.
But Palin, the former Republican vice presidential candidate, wrote that the provision reads otherwise and will lead to health care rationing.
"With all due respect, it's misleading for the president to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients," she wrote. "The issue is the context in which that information is provided and the coercive effect these consultations will have in that context."
Palin cited one section of the bill that says if a patient has a change in health condition or moves to a nursing facility or hospice then practioners must explain the end of care options that the government will pay.
"Now put this in context. ... the consultations "are part of a bill whose stated purpose is 'to reduce the growth in health care spending.' Is it any wonder that senior citizens might view such consultations as attempts to convince them to help reduce health care costs by accepting minimal end-of-life care?" she asked.
Palin also referred to Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahmn Emanuel, who wrote that some medical services should be provided on a "priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated."
"President Obama can try to gloss over the effects of government authorized end-of-life consultations, but the views of one of his top health care advisers are clear enough," she wrote.
"It's all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing, and more evidence that the top-down plans of government bureaucrats will never result in real health care reform," Palin wrote.
Okay, she hit the nail on the head here. I've always been a fan of Sarah Palin, and this is great.
First of all, of course Obama is being misleading us. I mean, who really wants to hear that their Grandmas are done for? And who wants to know that the government is behind it under the guise of "less expensive healthcare" and doesn't care that they're rationing off PEOPLE?
I sure don't want to hear that.
The healthcare bill will definitely lead to euthanasia for seniors. It's basically like abortion (which Obama supports), in that it involves deciding whether someone is worth keeping around.
Obama insists that the end-of-life counseling would be voluntary, but, as usual, that claim is shown to be false. Palin wrote that it would lead to rationing, which is just a fancy way of saying "killing off the 'worthless' ones".
Basically, as soon as a patient exhibits a change in condition, or moves to a nursing facility or hospice, oh, look, they suddenly have the marvelous option to act for the greater good and cease in their pitiful, pathetic, time and money consuming existence. What a respectable sacrifice. Right.
And is this really a stretch at all since the bill is supposed to reduce healthcare spending?
And Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel talks about a priority curve?!?!? Priorities? These are humans! We are all equal! Need I once again cite the Declaration on another life issue? We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these rights are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
UNALIENABLE RIGHTS TO LIFE FOR ALL! It seems to me like the Liberals are doing all they can to 1) bring socialism to America and 2) to discriminate against people for age (e.g. unborn/elderly).
I don't think they really care about the health of America.
Both physical and financial.

Barack Hussein Obama
There is sure to be a large amount of controversy over this in the near future. There has been in the past.
Is it legit to call Obama by his full name?
Regardless of intention?
Yes. There is freedom of speech in this country.
We should be paying attention to this, anyway. Not necessarily the name itself, because you can't help what you are named, but to Obama's background in dealing with terrorists. He was a friend to Bill Ayers. He supports civil rights for TERRORISTS (but not unborn children)! He won't let waterboarding be used, even though it was effective, and he threatens to close Gitmo. What does this point to?
The use of Obama's middle name is merely a way to get people to think. That's a bit of a struggle these days.

Am I Just Against Obama?
Am I just against Obama? What will I do when (not if) America gets smart and doesn't re-elect them?
Do you people think Obama is the ONLY liberal in this country?
Um, NO.
I will continue to fight terrorism one liberal at a time, no matter who it is.
It's always the same thing: liberalism threatening to lead America down the wrong, left road.
And I will always be there to fight it.
And yes, I do have hope that America will change for the better...
As soon as we get that lying, sweet-talking socialist out of the White House.
Another note: I don't care whether or not Obama meant to call on that girl at the town hall. All I know is, if the White House said he didn't mean to, he probably did. Remember when he was "picking something up off the floor" as he BOWED to Saudi king Abdullah? If I were him, I'd just tell them to stop "protecting" me, because it's pretty pathetic. I mean, do they really think anyone will believe that?
Anyway, I don't really care if he meant to call on that girl or not. All I know is, the White House needs to come up with more rational explanations for the outrageous acts of the Infallible Obama. Such as, maybe, mystical kangaroos mind-controlling him. Something more rational like that.

Should We Burn the Constitution, or Do We Really Have Rights?
The controversy over the guy outside the town hall with a gun?
The guy has a right to bear arms, so the media is going to have to deal with it until their beloved Obama eliminates that right. I doubt he will. But who knows?
Maybe he gets removed right before Obama comes or something, but he has a right to be there. He has a right, and more likely than not, he is probably just carrying a gun to oppose Obama.
The media are acting like it's an atrocious act to carry an unconcealed, registered gun even though you have a permit. Well, come to think of it, the Constitution is an atrocity these days, isn't it?
At first, when I started this blog, I was afraid I could get in trouble for speaking my mind. But now I know I can say whatever I want (almost), and if anyone tries to stop me, I'll say, "I won't put up a fight as long as you do one thing before you cart me off to some federal prison: BURN THE CONSTITUTION." If they refuse, I'll just say, "Why don't you? Violating it is the same thing as burning it.
"I have rights... right?"
Ann Coulter is one of those people who knows her rights and is therefore not afraid. Some might call her insolent, but I call her inspired. Check out a somewhat outdated (sorry) YouTube clip of her fearless tongue in the video bar.
Thanks to all Conservatives out there who aren't afraid.
I know I have rights.
Legalize the Constitution!

I Survived... To Live and Tell
This is a bit creepy to some people, so be warned...
I survived Roe v. Wade, the devastating epidemic of cruel heart- and brainlessness that ripped away the lives of 50 million in a mere 36 years, 4400 lives each day.
I survived to live and to tell and to try to rescue the future from the past 36 years.
AH, that is my name for it. AH, the American Holocaust.
AH, the screams of those 4400 a day...
I live in a town of a little less than 4000 people.
Each day, enough people die to wipe out more than one of my town. I moved there from a village of about 400 people. Enough people die each day to wipe out that village ten times.
And the sad thing is...
All of those deaths are the deaths of...
BABIES!!!!!

What Is He Thinking?
Okay, he says it's not about him. That's what he needs to realize! It's not about him, not about politics, not about the government, so WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT TRYING TO RUN OUR HEALTHCARE?!?!? There is much at stake here, but seeing as how he lets the government fund the murder of innocent babies, I guess that doesn't matter.
Breaking America's economy?!?!? Look. Trying to spend your way out of debt is breaking the economy. Maybe it looks "good" in the short term, but America is not a short term country. We've been around for 233 years.
Lives at stake? Try the lives at stake when children are aborted, try the lives at stake when you threaten to close Gitmo.
Big government is not the answer, no matter what. Socialism is not the answer.
Competition? You mean competition among Grannies over who gets to live?
It will lead to greater competition, choice, savings, and inefficiencies?!?!?!?
It will save me and my family money? But don't we have to raise taxes to pay for this, or did I miss something?
Do it in a way that does not add to our deficits over the next decade? Well, even if that's true, which I doubt, you said "over the next decade". Do you expect us to keep going with your ideals after you're gone or are you planning to stay another decade? Because I know a bunch of people who don't plan on re-electing you.
Over the long run? What does anyone in Congress or anywhere know about "the long run"? You passed the stimulus (not to be confused with having read it).
"We always knew passing healthcare reform wouldn't be easy. We always knew that doing what's right would be hard." I agree with the second sentence. We always knew doing what's right (as opposed to left) would be hard. But we're going to do it, or die trying.
A tendency towards inertia? You bet! It goes like this: government, control, power, money, spend, devalue, debt, government, control, power, money, spend, devalue, debt... doing what is right is hard, but let's break the cycle.
"We're a country that chooses the harder right over the easier wrong." Doesn't he mean the easier left?
Do that once more. Once more, because we'll never get the chance to do what's left again if we do. No. Let's do what's RIGHT, and keep doing it, not once more, but many times more. I believe in America (as opposed to apologizing for it).
By the end of this year? That's how long we've got to make it right. We do need to "stop Obama on this", because even though he claims it's not about him, he's one of the main ones DOING it. So, if it must be stopped, he must be stopped on this.
Delivering a better future? How about delivering babies, since they are members of the future? How about not passing stimulus bills I'm going to pay for? THAT would be delivering a better future. It's up to us to found that future.
Obama's Pets and Other Topics
Obama has a pet dog named his initials (Bo). He also has a pet media (named Libby for LIBERAL). Well, so did Hitler. I'm not saying Obama is the equivalent of Hitler (even though he wants to disarm his citizens, be friends with terrorists, and kill innocent citizens). I'm just saying, don't let the media fool you.
Do you love your Grandma? Well, then don't let the government pay for your healthcare, because they have better things to do than make sure your creaky old Grandma makes it another six months. Sorry. They just don't have time. It's not that they don't have the money (they can print or borrow (and devalue) that anytime they want). It's just that they're too busy killing babies, saving terrorists, disarming citizens, and wasting money to help your wasting Grandma. So, like, adios, Granny. Sionara (I don't know if I spelled that right)!
If you don't want to have your family become victims of national healthcare, I suggest you study surgery and healing herbs. Oh, and find a nice rock to live under when the illegal immigrants and terrorists blow up America.
Also, if you are a Conservative, encourage your fellow Conservatives to stick to Conservative principles. Don't be too open minded or, like Liberals, your brains will fall out. STICK TO YOUR PRINCIPLES!!!!! Or you'll have nothing (scary music).

Ford and America
Ford is one of, if not the only car company that did not take a bailout.
I salute America unapologetically, undeniably, and unbowingly by riding with my six siblings in a Ford 15-passenger van.
I took that van to a Tea Party.
I took it to a Christian music festival.
Let's hear it for not accepting a government bailout; for not aborting my siblings (did you realize that 100% of abortion advocates WERE NOT ABORTED?); for not bowing to ANY OTHER COUNTRY, for not apologizing for being America, for freedom of speech, assembly, and religion;
For AMERICA.

Silence is Compliance
Speak, while it's still legal! Remember the H-1 N-1 Philosophy? I am not kidding you, people.
Sure, it might not happen in the immediate future, but it's happening.
Silence is compliance.
Our lives begin to end when we become silent about things that matter. That's a quote from some famous person. It's true. OUR LIVES begin to end when we are silent about things that matter because when we become silent, our lives are not ours anyomore. We allow them to be controlled. They cease to be ours and thus begin to end when we are silent.
I, personally, at thirteen years old, do not want my life to end. I mean, I've only lived a fraction of my life. I have so much more SPEAKING to do.
As do you. As do ALL Conservatives.
SPEAK. You'll be man's best friend by speaking and saving. Speak, and "woof" doesn't count.
SPEAK.
Silence is compliance.
Those who would sacrifice freedom for temporary security deserve neither.
--Ben Franklin
It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government.
--Thomas Paine
These guys know what they're TALKING ABOUT.

Declaration of Pro-Life America
Okay, in the Declaration, I count at least two times in, like, one paragraph that it states that we shouldn't kill babies. What a weird and pointless controversy: to kill innocent babies or not to kill innocent babies? That is the question. Kind of a dumb question, huh? Because according to the Declaration of Independence, we hold these truths to be self-evident, which means there should be absolutely no question whatsoever.
So, we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. Notice it says "created" equal and not "born" equal. When are we created? If anyone has the gall and stubborn bullheadedness to tell me we are created when we're born... I don't even know what that means for America, but it's not good.
...that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these rights are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Okay, that is a huge indicator. Unalienable: "not to be separated, given away, or taken away". No matter what. Life? Um, duh. Obviously abortion takes away the life of the baby. Did you know it sometimes kills the mother, too? And if life is taken, the other rights are as well.
"After 1973, legalization of abortion led to an approximately tenfold increase in the total number of abortions, though there is some dispute over the prelegalization statistics" is an excerpt from wikipedia.org. So anyone who says legalizing abortion would decrease it is absolutely wrong. Plus, surrendering enough to just let it go is almost as bad as surrendering enough to kill the baby and not try to save both the mother and the baby. What I'm saying is that if something is WRONG, legalizing it is complete and utter idiocy. The principle of something being wrong is that it's wrong, AKA not legal.
So. Abortion is wrong. 51% of America is pro-choice. An ever-climbing 49% now disapprove of Obama, according to Rasmussen Reports. Let's hear it for common sense, people!!! Let's hear it for "baby-huggers" (awwww, sooo cute!). Let's hear it for America, the way it was meant to be!
