Control The People

The truth comes out during a live telephone interview with U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) and Paul W. Smith on talk radio WJR 760 in Detroit.

“The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.”
~Rep. John Dingell

A Freudian slip?

The government wants to control you is not a case of paranoia that you were imagining at all, it is the real deal. There is a liberal ulterior motive behind the health care bill afterall.

This statement from a sitting Congressman is down right repugnant. But then there are many people that want their lives to be controlled. They are quite happy to be fed a few dependency bones in return for their vote.

Reality has set in and the statement by John Dingell says it all. Leave it to this old Democratic curmudgeon to tell the truth behind health care reform.

Health Care Fight Begins Again

There are now fourteen states that have filed lawsuits to block the health care reform bill. These states include Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota Texas, Utah, Washington, and Virginia.

“The Constitution nowhere authorizes the United States to mandate, either directly or under threat of penalty, that all citizens and legal residents have qualifying health care coverage.”
~from the lawsuit filed in Pensacola, FL

While health care for all is a great concept it fails when it comes to paying for it.

“It’s a question for most of us in the states of the costs to our people and to the rights and the freedoms of the individual citizens in upholding our constitutional duties as attorneys general.”
~Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum

The cost of this health care reform will be passed onto the states that are already burdened by strapped budgets. In other words, increased taxes will be necessary in order to fund and sustain this new health care system. Once again hard-working families will be footing this bill in more ways than one. Businesses that are mandated to provide health care to employees will most certainly pass the cost on to customers or reduce the number of employees to make up for lost revenue. The bottom line, if everyone is not paying for their health care then the money has to come from somewhere else. That somewhere else is the working American.

Let’s not forget about all those faithful union members with their “cadillac” health care plans. They will be paying a tax on this benefit. You might say a double whammy between increased state tax and now a health care tax.

Americans that have neither government or employer provided health insurance will be required to purchase it on their own or be subjected to tax penalties.

So the health care fight begins again and there does not appear to be an amicable end in sight.

Remember in November

This is the Democratic Congress that passed the health care reform bill last night totally disregarding the will of the majority of Americans. They did so at the risk of their political careers. Let’s all remember these names when we enter the voting booths in November this year and ensure their removal from office.

Armageddon

America is now within hours of a vote on a major, historical bill that if passed will change the social landscape of this country. The health care reform bill has more to do with the Democratic party pushing a socialized agenda pitted against the will of the American majority than it does with health care.

“We’re now about 24 hours from Armageddon, 24 hours from Members casting a vote on one of the biggest bills they’ll ever vote for in their careers. We are right there.”
~Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio)

While this is obviously not Armageddon this will be a life-changing event for most Americans. It will change health care as we know it and probably not for the better.

If It’s Weather It’s Global Warming

Al Gore emerged from his storm shelter and in a communique to his Gorettes proclaimed the latest batch of wet weather in the Northeast was due to, that’s right, you guessed it, the dreaded global warming.

If there’s a drought – it’s global warming. When there’s a hurricane – it’s global warming. If there are heavy snows or even blizzards – it’s somehow global warming. And amazingly, the latest round of rainy and windy weather in the Northeast, well that’s consistent with this phenomenon as well, so says former Vice President Al Gore.

Gore, the self-anointed climate change alarmist-in-chief, told supporters on a March 15 conference call that severe weather in certain regions of the country could be attributed to carbon in the atmosphere – including the recent rash of rainy weather.
~Jeff Poor, Business and Media Institute

Does this mean that from here on out every storm, hurricaine, tornado, cold wave, heat wave, stretch of warm sunshine, and future snow storms will be directly attributable to gobal warming? It would appear so. Gore will probably raise the alarm after every batch of bad weather, and good weather, in order to stoke the proverbial fire of his followers.

Can we look forward to Al Gore hosting a global warming seminar in the Mojave Desert this summer?

Arm Twisting and Thumb Screws

Less than one week away from another health care reform deadline. The President has issued an ultimatum, a vote on the health care reform bill by March 18th. Senior Democratic leadership received their marching orders from Obama. But wait a minute, now the deadline has moved again and it’s now March 21st according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The President has postponed his overseas trip. Democrats have been given a few more days to continue with the arm twisting and thumb screw routine on dissenting party members who plan to vote no on the bill. This includes voting yea at the risk of ending political careers when it comes to being re-elected in November.

How about this Pelosi pearl of wisdom.

“Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer, a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance.”
~Nanacy Pelosi interview with Rachel Maddow

What a quaint, utopian idea. Does that mean we could all give up our day jobs and become artists, photographers and writers? No, that’s right, someone has to pay for that health insurance.

So what is stopping the Democrats from voting on and passing health care reform if it is such a great deal for America? They are in fact the majority party. It must be that some Democrats are listening to their constituents.

For those Democrats that are not listening, not paying attention, are being naive or just plain ignorant, once again: THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO NOT WANT THIS HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL.

The End of a Political Dynasty

In a diatribe heard ’round the world Rep. Patrick Kennedy blasted the main stream news media for giving Eric Massa 24/7 coverage and not enough to the troops and war in Afghanistan.

With continuing large unemployment numbers, a struggling economy, a dismal housing market, health care reform that Nancy Pelosi is asking fellow Democrats to fall on their swords for, and of course the war in Afghanistan, it would appear Democrats are self-imploding and dropping like flies under the strain of majority governing. They are melting down faster than Al Gore’s polar ice cap.

Maybe Kennedy thought he wasn’t getting his proper “15 minutes of fame” so he launched into a maniacal harangue ensuring that he would in fact get some attention. Well, be careful what you hope for. Once again the MSM took its focus off exactly what Kennedy was raving about, Afghanistan, and put the spotlight right back on him.

The Kennedy political dynasty of more than half a century appears to be coming to an inglorious end.

Eric Massa’s Naked Revelation

By his own admission former Congressman Eric Massa groped a male staffer, but not sexually, whatever that means. It was also reported that he used inappropriate language with his staff. Isn’t groping a credential and perfectly acceptable for Democratic politicians? Bill Clinton comes to mind under the guise of acceptance from his supporters who declared, “well, everybody does it.” But then he wasn’t trying to buck the Democratic party.

Massa displayed behavior reminiscent of young Navy sailors frolicking in a Filipino skivvy house. Was this brand of leadership Massa’s modus operandi while he served as an officer in the Navy? More accusations have come forth from former shipmates that he was, well, what we called when I served in the Navy, a shipboard “phantom feeler.” In other words he attempted or succeeded in groping a sleeping sailor.

Then came Massa’s naked shower revelation.

I was in the congressional gym, and I went into the showers which, by the way, I for the life of me can’t figure out why they took all the shower curtains off the shower stalls in the congressional shower. The last thing I want to look at is my fellow colleagues naked, but they don’t have shower curtains down in the gym, and I’m sitting there showering naked as a jaybird and here comes Rahm Emanuel not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest yelling at me because I wasn’t going to vote for the president’s budget. Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?
~Former Congressman Eric Massa

There are worse things than a naked Rahm Emanuel coming at you with a poking finger. It could be a naked Barney Frank and that’s probably not a finger he’s poking at you.

A Really Good Big Day in America

It would appear that any time more Americans potentially become dependent on the government, no matter how many or how few, this is good news for Harry and his gang.

“Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.”
~Senator Harry Reid

Obviously there are 36,000 people who don’t agree with Harry Reid. Add to that the millions that have already lost their jobs and you have another Washington politician completely out of touch with working America. Let’s go further and also add to that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s latest analysis that projects $9.7 trillion will be added to the national debt over the next decade under Obama’s proposed budget.

Really good indeed.

Barack Obama put VP Joe Biden in charge of the stimulus that would create untold millions of jobs because nobody messes with Joe. Well, say it ain’t so Joe. Where’s the jobs?

That scraping noise that you hear must be the sound of Obama bumper stickers being removed from the vehicles of Obama voters.

Fast forward to November 2010. I wonder if Harry Reid will exclaim, “It’s really good” on election day.

Abominable Gore-Man Emerges From A Cold Hibernation

Just when things were cooling off Al Gore emerges to heat things back up with a resurrection of his global warming postulation. Yes, the same Nobel Peace prize winning Al Gore and star of the Academy Award winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth”.

Evidently Gore felt an urge to step out from behind the snowbanks and defend his scientific stance against the hordes of disbelievers. His latest defense appeared as an op-ed in the New York Times. Its title was “We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change.” Unfortunately it appears that we can’t wish away Al Gore.

After several months of snow and cold Gore must have heard the cries of his faithful followers coaxing him to say something, anything in the face of overwhelming skeptics in a sea of ridicule. So he obliged his AGW disciples with an op-ed rant.

We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands.
~Gore op-ed excerpt

Rest assured Al that I will not be worrying, but then I don’t live in a mansion or jet-set around the world spreading fear and speculation while leaving a large carbon footprint.

The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere — thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States.
~Gore op-ed excerpt

Wouldn’t warmer temperatures have this increased precipitation falling as rain and not snow? In fact every state in the continental U.S. has received siginificant snow this winter including the Deep South.

Because the world still relies on leadership from the United States, the failure by the Senate to pass legislation intended to cap American emissions before the Copenhagen meeting guaranteed that the outcome would fall far short of even the minimum needed to build momentum toward a meaningful solution.

The pathway to success is still open, though it tracks the outer boundary of what we are capable of doing. It begins with a choice by the United States to pass a law establishing a cost for global warming pollution. The House of Representatives has already passed legislation, with some Republican support, to take the first halting steps for pricing greenhouse gas emissions.

I hope that it will place a true cap on carbon emissions and stimulate the rapid development of low-carbon sources of energy.
~Gore op-ed excerpt

There you have the crux of the op-ed message. This is a call to arms for the hoodwinked masses to push for cap and trade legislation.

Al Gore is in crisis mode and attempting to salvage his global warming, climate changing empire. There is money to be made from this present day “gold rush” and prospector Al is going to be first in line to stake his claim on the green technology Mother Lode. That is “an inconvenient truth”.
