Obamacare & Unalienable Rights

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 are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - Congress, July 4 ,1776

Have you seen the proposed health care bill by the Democrats? It's a paltry 1,018 pages. Just light reading if you've got nothing else to do, however, this should be mandatory reading for every elected official who's required to vote on it! And if any elected official worth his or her weight in salt would actually read the thing, there's no way they could vote for it - not if they're a REAL American who believes in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

You don't even need to get past page 16 of the Bill to find out that owning private health care will be outlawed. Oh, there's that grandfather clause, which states that you can keep your current health care if you like it. I think that's what Nobama was referring to when he said on the ABC Informercial and elsewhere that "you can keep your current plan if you want to." Sure! Great! But if a person changes jobs or wants to change insurance after the Govt. plan goes into effect, then you're up a creek without a paddle. There will be NO CHOICE in the matter. Well, that sounds American, doesn't it?

And once the Govt. plan becomes law, then there's no way to actually purchase private insurance. It will be outlawed. How's that for the American way. It's like the old days where when choosing the color of your phone you had a choice - as long as it was the color black. Likewise, we'll have a choice - The Govt. plan. So, where's the 'Liberty' part of the Declaration here? It's being stripped away!

And how about paying for abortions with public funding? This puts salt in an already festering wound for the American people. As America grows increasingly against abortion the Govt. under Nobama in Obamaland increases funding for abortions. Most reasonable people know that babies come from mommies' tummies. Ask any child about the 'lump' in pregnant woman's stomach and they'll tell you that there's a baby in there. Gee, if children get it why can't the elected officials get it? Nevertheless, they're in charge and we have to deal with them like the little children they are! Do you really want to fund abortions for people who make the choice to have sex but then don't want to take responsibility for their actions? And to make matters worse, we the American tax payer are paying for murder. So, where's the 'Life' part of the Declaration here? It's being stripped away!

And what about the rationing and denying of health measures that can lead to a better quality and quantity of life? Sure, under the Govt. plan Nobama and Pelosi have promised the American people that these sorts of things will not come to pass; that what we're hearing from Canada and Europe (people being denied cancer treatments that can save lives; nine month waiting lists for arthritis medicine; months waiting periods for maternity beds, and the list goes on) will never happen here. Can we believe them? Weren't we promised that the after the massive Stimulus package was passed that unemployment would not exceed 8%? Where are we now? Over 9% and still growing. And now the Govt. is talking about yet ANOTHER Stimulus plan because the other one wasn't big enough.

How will all this bigger government and increased spending get paid for? You guessed it - increased taxes on the very people who provide the jobs we need; small business and the wealthy. Obamacare will be a HUGE detriment to the growth of the economy and will most likely be the death knell for the America we know and love. So, where's the 'pursuit of Happiness' part of the Declaration? It's being stripped away!

The Silent Majority can be Silent No More! Obamacare goes against the Declaration of Independece on the most basic levels. Let's get out of our comfort zones. Call your congressional representatives. Call your senators. Tell them to read the bill COMPLETELY before voting on it or DON'T VOTE FOR IT! That's just common sense. Tell them and remind them that they work for you - you're the one they're supposed to represent and not their own interests or the interests of lobbyists. Call, write and visit their local offices if they have one. You're not pestering them. You're doing your duty to protect America. But time is running out! Pelosi and Reid want Obamacare passed before their August recess. That's only WEEKS away.

Use your common sense and American rights. Be silent no more!

God's blessings.

NEA is About Power - Children Are Secondary

The NEA is about children and increasing the education of our children in America, right? If you still think that the NEA is pro-children and education, then you better think again. We have it right from the horse's mouth that they are about power. It's not that they're not about reducing drop out rates and increasing goals, but that's not their primary function. Get a load of this!

Watch the 2 minute version here.

Watch the full 25 minute version here.

General Counsel Bob Chanin explains to the NEA Convention what they're really all about.
"The NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of million of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them; the union that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.

This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps, reducing drop rate rates, improving teacher quality, and the like are unimportant or inappropriate. To the contrary these are the goals that guide the work we do. But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights, or collective bargaining.

That is simply too high a price to pay."

Closing achievement gaps, reducing drop rates, improving teacher quality and the like should be the goal. Period! If they were really about education then they would take a look at what the private sector does to educate children. If the NEA were really serious about our children's education then they would model the public schools after private schools who are able to better educate children at HALF the cost. But the NEA is not about education. It's all about power and money.

Something has to be done about unions that have seen their day and the NEA is one that shouldn't have even seen the light of day. American Patriots need to be involved at the local level because we're the ones who really care about our own children and grandchildren. No one cares more about them than blood relatives. That's the way to be most effective because the local and state levels are the ones who feed the national level - or the 'N' of the NEA.

Hey, take a look at states who are having budget problems. What is one of the largest items in the budget? Probably education, right? And another one is Medicaid. These two "untouchable" budget items within every state tie up a considerable amount money. And yet there are better, more efficient ways to better educate our country's children, and give them a more conservative education as well! Why can't they simply make cuts to the education part of the budget and educate the children better at half the cost? Well, that would mean a loss of power and dollars to the NEA, wouldn't it? And if you follow the money, then that means less for the Obamameister. They backed him big time and he owes them big time.

But common sense says that we can work at the local level. We need to remind our state officials that they work for us. We don't work for them. They need to stand up to the unions rather than go to bed with them. Card check cannot be passed because this will eventually be used within every union, including the NEA, if we don't stop it now.

For those who are active - good! - keep up the good fight. Remember, we're doing this for our children and grandchildren so that they can grow up in same kind of country we did. For those who are thinking about getting active - don't think to long! - we're running out of time. The current Obama administration is moving swiftly in many different areas. Contact your state representatives and keep doing it over and over again until they either listen or receive their walking papers.

The Silent Majority is Silent No More. Let Your Voice Be Heard as We Use Our Common Sense!

God's blessings and have a great day!

Organize & Fight for Freedom! NOW!

Fellow Patriots.

This is the time to fight - NOW! Obama is on the loose and we have to organize! There's no time to learn how to do it. The best way to learn is simply on the job training.

Obama is using the playbook taken right out of "Rules For Radicals". He's coming at America with everything he's got with no regard to American Freedom and Liberty. He wants power and he's on the move for power grab. If you haven't figured out yet, then connect the dots. He's trying to ram as much through as quickly as possible in order to knock America off her heels as he comes at American citizens from all sides. He probably knows that he can't get everything through, but by creating so many fires and coming at us from every which way, it makes it hard for American Patriots to keep track of all his bullets.

To be sure, it's hard for the common Patriot to keep track of every bill and every move that Pelosi, Reid and Obama are making. But let's play by their rules! Organize, organize, organize!

Are there a lot of things coming at us? Consider the hate crimes bill, which will muzzle religious leaders from preaching Biblical truths, or other basic teachings in monotheistic religions; the attacks on the second amendment; Cap and Trade (Crap and Tax) Bill that Pelosi is pushing through; ObamaCare; Obamaworld's newest power grab as he wants to put America's water supply under government control; ACORN, or whatever their new name is; the 2010 census; and the list goes on. Is it any wonder that we can't keep track of everything on our own? So let's divide and conquer!

Get your groups together and sit down with Levin's book "Liberty and Tyranny". It's an easy read and very informative and helpful. At the end of his book "The Great One", Levin, lists about 12 areas and action plans. Sit down with your groups and organize. Assign tasks and watch groups centered around an action plan. Charge each group to work on that area and keep track of what's specifically going on in that area and then relay what needs to be done by the other groups. Keep focused on what needs to be done. Use your Tea Party or 9-12 or We Surround Them groups as your main base for your military operations. Fight within the law and within the Constitutional rights granted us by the Creator and our Founding Fathers.

Get study groups together and go through The 5000 Year Leap. Get informed and bring the kids in on this too. You KNOW they're not learning any of this in public schools!

We don't have to be experts on everything. We need only get good at a couple of things and let our fellow Patriots get good at their areas of responsibility. In this way we American Patriots can organize a united front against the tyranny that's going on in America. Encourage those who are still on the side lines to open their eyes and see what's happening because their freedom and liberty is being stolen at a rapid pace.

Obama's plan is to confuse as many people as possible in the hopes that he can maybe walk away with completing 80% of his agenda. We can't afford 80%, 20% or even ONE of his plans. He's already piled on a ton of debt on our children and grandchildren. This is flat out robbery and immoral. And that's not even considering what he's doing to the rest of the world!

This is common sense folks! Create a United Front. We can do it, but we have to do it now!

God's blessings, and God Bless America!

Just Say 'NO' to Nobamacare!

Well, the ABC/Nobama Infomercial is now over, and it seems to be everything that it was billed NOT to be. And in prominent Nobama fashion, the President said 'a lot' and really didn't say anything new. In fact, if the American public has learned one thing about this President it's that we have to listen to what he doesn't say, read between the lines and take what he does say and interpret it to mean the opposite. I think that's what we used to call 'double-speak'!

I had to wonder how spontaneous the questions were because Diane Sawyer and the cameras were at the right location at the right time every time. Was this just a matter of Lady Luck, or were these questions pre-selected and planted? And given the history of Nobama's articulateness while thinking and talking off the cuff, I can't help but think that the President didn't know about these questions ahead of time, because his responses were smooth and absent of his 'uhms' and 'ahs' that are so typical when he speaks without being prepped or without Mr. Teleprompter. In addition, there were NO follow up questions or rebuttal allowed, and you could see on the faces of the audience the desire for follow up. In particular, it seemed to me that the president of Aetna and the president of the American Medical Association certainly had more to say.

Dr. Obama casually mentioned health care for children and the need for children to be covered. I'm certainly for all that, however, he left the audience with the impression that what the government is currently doing has support from the American public. Isn't that program called CHIPS? And didn't the child-hating, evil President Bush veto an increase in funding this program two times? Hmmm. Maybe because it costs to much because of inefficiency. But what we didn't hear from Nobama is that he slipped increase funding into one of the stimulus bills as an earmark - one of the massive bills passed that no one was able to read before they voted on it. And what about the Universal Health Care for Children in Hawaii? Do you know about that? Hawaii, a state about as far left as you can get had a government run plan for free health care for children. But as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch, which is precisely what Hawaii found out. Once this plan was introduced people who were paying for health care dropped out of the private sector insurance to opt in for the government run program. That wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. And after only 7 months Hawaii had to discontinue the program because the government couldn't afford it.

Was this brought up at all in the infomercial? No. Do the words 'the government is out of money' and 'that's not supposed to happen that way' sound familiar with this administration? In fact, it's just the opposite. Dr. Nobama constantly says that if you're happy with your current plan you can keep it. But he never deals with human nature who would like to get something for nothing.

Dr. Nobama's ire was up when he talked about the CBO (Congressional Budget Office). This is a non-partisan group who crunches numbers based on the information they have and they try to come up with realistic forecasts of costs of government programs. Accountant Nobama doesn't like their numbers because it doesn't agree with what he wants the public to hear. He claims that the CBO isn't giving him credit for the money he'll save from Medicare and Medicaid and some of the other proposed 'savings' he has planned. Boy, this sure sounds like something out of Obamaworld with regard to 'jobs saved'. How do you measure what jobs are 'saved' when more people are getting laid off every week? Obama's savings plan is one that we can live without. In fact, our health and wallets would be far better off.

Hmmmm. Just takes some common sense to put 2 + 2 together. There's no free lunch! The American people on every level will pay for this government plan.

But one of the things that was most disturbing was Dr. Nobama's response to end of life care. He said that as a culture and society we must make decisions for ourselves concerning end of life. In the 'system' - code word for socialized medicine - decisions will have to be made to see what will help and what will not. Dr. Nobama said that there might be a point where the patient would be better off without the surgery and to simply take pain pills. Well, which government paid doctors will make that decision? What will be the criterion upon which those decisions are made? And will the medicine be available, or will there be a waiting line for Mom & Dad, Grandma and Grandpa to painfully wait in while they're waiting for the back order of drugs to arrive. This is what's happening in England and Canada.

And what about euthanasia at end of life? Who will make that decision about our elderly family? Will it be a doctor who is pro-life? The doctors' worldview and approach to when life begins and the sanctity of life is vitally important in decision making. None of this was specifically addressed, but reading between the lines and given Obama's record on the sanctity of life this will mean early death for many.

Why can't the government simply focus on the 15% of Americans that don't have health insurance and leave the other 85% alone? Why can't the government let the private insurance companies work out the problem among themselves while the government works on the 15%? That should cost a whole lot less that what Accountant Dr. Obama will propose and the bill Nurse Pelosi will write and ram through the House.

Freedom loving Patriots, there's no free lunch. And this is dangerous. Call your US Reps and Senators. Tell them you want bipartisanship on health care reform. Let them know that you want the liberty and freedom to make your own choices. Sign the petition. Stay informed America. This is your right. This is your liberty. This is your freedom. It's all about common sense and exercising your freedoms.

The Silent Majority is Silent No More.
God's blessings.

No Media Bias? Open Your Eyes With This!

The mainstream media has certain sold its soul to the devil as evidenced during the last primaries and general election of 2008. Whoever continues to claim that the MSM is unbiased, and that it's fair and balanced in "journalism" and reporting the "news" definitely is a "flat earther".

But let's just say for the sake of argument that the MSM was fair and balanced in their reporting and shows no partiality (I'm gagging as I write this statement). And let's just say that they're not in bed with Nobama and the Obamaland Comrades who march us to socialism. Let's just give them that for the sake of argument. With that said, did you see what ABC News announced and the copulation that's going to take place with the White House? Beginning June 24 ABC News will be anchored from inside the Blue Room in the White House. Well, since they're "doing it" already ABC News might as well shack up with the Prez in his domicile. Michelle, move over! The MSM has made regular trips to your bedroom anyway. They might as well move in and save some of the steps.

What will ABC News (Avid Barack Concubine News) promote for her lover's agenda? Well, government run health care, of course. And anyone who thinks that they'll receive the "whole story" from ABC's series, "Prescription for America", truly has eyes but they do not see. They're going to say all the sweet stuff about how everyone needs to have health care. And if you have ears then listen for the scare tactics they'll use to create fear in those who watch the broadcasts. Will ABC News report that only 15% of Americans do NOT have health care? Will they mention anything that about the fact that 85% of country will be turned over for the few? Will they mention that the same system in Canada and England has failed miserably and that they wish they had what America has right now? We need to work toward helping the few but not at the expense of 85% of America.

Well, the Republicans would also like equal airtime and access, but do you think the White House granted it? Apparently President "American Gigolo" knows that the American people are waking up to his rhetoric. And since the MSM has already sold her soul to the devil, the Gigolo will dip deeper into ABC's well to see if there's any soul left to claim. What will he find? He owns it all already.

But now that these two have become one - well America, all I can say is that this is frightening! Marriage is great for a man and a woman, but it's dangerous for the "press" and politics. It doesn't make sense.

A lot of people are daily waking up to what Nobama and his concubines are doing. Talk to your friends, your family members and those around the water cooler and tell them what's really at stake here: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press and our own personal freedoms and liberties. Contact ABC News and tell them that this is wrong, and that by doing so they've compromised journalistic principles. And educate yourself on what's going on in the media. Bernie Goldberg's "A Slobbering Love Affair" is an easy, contemporary read about how the media has sold its soul and lost its journalistic moorings. And Ann Coulter's "Treason" gives an excellent history of the media's progression in progressive/liberal journalism beginning in the 1930s or so.

The mainstream media must remain detatched from what they report. That's the only way to remain unbiased. When one moves in with the other then fair and balanced reporting is out the window and we Americans are the ones whose freedom and liberties hang in the balance. Hmmm. That makes sense to me. Keep your eyes and ears open and your common sense turned on.

God's blessings and have a great day!

Real Hope for Change? YES! Americans Have Common Sense!

I couldn't believe my eyes today when I read one of the headlines: "Conservatives" Are Single-Largest Ideological Group. It made me weep tears of joy and hope, and it affirmed that Americans really do have common sense. 40% identify themselves as conservative and 21% identity themselves as liberal. That's just about a 2-1 ratio!

And guess when the increase in conservative identity occurred? If you guessed since 2008 you win the prize. Hmmm, what happened in 2008? Oh yea. That's right. That's when the Republicans got a spanking -again! There seems to be a renaissance happening as people are waking up to what Obamaland is all about. Life in Obamaland is anything but free. The Constitution is being trampled on and trashed. The unalienable rights bestowed by the Creator are being stripped away at a much more noticeable and rapid pace. Could this be because the Creator is being stripped from the American culture and family fabric thanks to the NEA and public school indoctrination? Once God is removed the vaccuum has to be filled and Big Government is right there filling the void and taking the place of God. And where God can be merciful Big Government is ruthless.

But Americans' eyes are being opened and their ears tuned to the real rhetoric of the Obama administration. And they don't like what they see or hear. So there seems to be REAL HOPE for REAL CHANGE once again, but we must fight for that freedom. However, there's no time to waste. We must remain politcally active continually calling our US Senators and Representatives and let them know that we want our freedoms, our liberties and smaller government. Let them know that we want to keep our freedom of speech for ALL people. Let them know that you're watching them and that you'll vote accordingly when their time is up. Let them know that we don't want health care that will break the bank and plans that ration or even deny care to people who need it. Don't be blinded by the statist and progressive rhetoric.

But there's something just as important that we need to do if we're ever going to get a solid footing and sanity restored in the Great Land of the USA. We need to educate our children and our children's children on the benefits and freedoms that come from conservative beliefs. This begins around the dinner table, and when you're walking at night, or playing with the kids. Use every opportunity to teach them what it really means to be a free American; where individuals keep what they work hard for but that we also give generously to those who are in need. America is the most giving country in the world! But our kids won't learn that from the mainstream media. We need to teach them and show them by example. And we need to begin NOW because the 18-29 year old group is more moderate than conservative or liberal. And this is the age group that will begin to have families as well!

President Reagan said that we are only one generation away from losing our freedom. Let's keep that freedom of our founding fathers going for a thousand generations to come!

Hmmm. It's just using common sense!

Memorial Day is a Day For Thanks

Most Americans consider this weekend the "official kick-off" of summer. We get to enjoy our freedom and liberty as we grill brats and burgers, take time with family and friends and, more often than not, take advantage of the blessings we have here in the great US of A.

Make sure to take time this weekend to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Remember our founding fathers and the sacrifices they made. Remember friends and family who may have served in past wars. Remember that freedom and liberty never is free. It comes at a cost.

So thank a veteran. Visit a cemetery and ponder the price of your freedom and liberty. And make sure to thank God for the freedom we have and enjoy.

God's blessings and gave a great day!
