A Note on Gov. Run 'Health Care'

If I had them by the throat! [Hastily kisses the crucifix, and mumbles] In these twenty years I have spent millions to keep the press of the two hemispheres quiet, and still these leaks keep on occurring. I have spent other millions on religion and art, and what do I get for it? Nothing. Not a compliment. These generosities are studiedly ignored, in print. In print I get nothing but slanders -- and slanders again -- and still slanders, and slanders on top of slanders! Grant them true, what of it? They are slanders all the same when uttered against a king. Miscreants -- they are telling everything!-- Mark Twain, King Leopold's Soliloquy.

The problem with the kind of power Liberals hold, via 85% of the media, is that there still is that 15% that are telling the truth. There is no such thing as absolute power. The tighter the Progressive Democrats tighten their fists for control of this issue, the more people become disgusted and angry. RHINOs (Progressive Republicans) do nothing more than create confusion and help this power grab.

If only the Liberals had the same amount of hate for a socialist empire as they did for our former president Bush, there would be even more energy behind the resistance. Sadly, the hate they had for Bush is of a religious nature; the religion of Secularism. Many people also claim to belong to Judeo-Christian groups, but their actions provide little evidence.

Attached is a copy of the Health Care proposal that is being debated.

Update 2013.09.18

It has been a little over four years since that warning to Liberals, who are being rolled over and over again, by their Progressive slave masters. Progressive Liberals have hijacked, like a parasite, the good will of classic Liberalism. Liberals, in the sense of 19th century Liberalism, felt that society needed to help out the downtrodden, educate people equally and treat workers with dignity. 

Progressives are not Liberals. They blind the good intentions of classic Liberals with rhetoric of a shining future, but deliver slavery and call it freedom.

Classical Liberals should be aghast at what has happened to their dream.

Since then the Obama regime has managed to rack up 78% of the war dead in Afghanistan, leave four Americans helpless, tortured and dead in Benghazi while a dozen US bases were begging to come to their assistance, Stimulus bills that only paid off political henchmen and left the economy in disaster including a series of credit rating downgrades (very, very serious, but laughed off), Race wars the like we've not seen since the 1960's, Unemployment's true number is around 18% if we use the same metrics that have traditionally been used, gas prices up from $1.80 to $4.20, Illegal entry into this country at an alarming rate (not just Mexicans, but Middle Eastern Muslim Terrorists, Chinese, Slavery--yes, the worst it's been ever, and anyone else who poses a danger to U.S. soverntry--or what remains), unexplained gun violence by people who could not pass a background check, Gun running in the U.S., Mexico, Middle East, to the end of causing massive revolts that place the most radical murderers in power (read: Egypt, Syria, Libya, etc.), packing the courts, utter disregard for the Constitution of the United States is so many ways that hundreds of books have and will be written on just this subject alone (which virtually NONE of Americans will read--they can't), exporting Terrorism, importing Terrorism, monetizing our debt (printing money that we don't have, similar to you writing checks from an empty bank account), not passing a budget in over five years. Distraction, deceit, corruption. And lies. Lots and lots and lots of them. 

Although I was thoroughly disgusted by Bush's second term, the blame for hitting the gas and still blaming him after five years is blatantly hypocritical.

And, that's just what I can think of in ten minutes of writing. 

On to Obama-Care...

After shoving this down the throats of the American people, you would expect that all the political hacks and shills for this monstrosity would be embracing this new leviathan as a welcome friend. Every --EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM-- has petitioned and is being exempted. 
So, who will be stuck with it? 
You will. 
The very people that this affordable care was pimped as helping will now find affordable care impossible. 
Unions don't want it. Government workers don't want it. AARP (after a billion dollar bribe) won't get it. AND CONGRESS WILL NEVER HAVE IT. The list goes on. Small business cannot possibly afford the massive increases in premiums and taxes and penalties packed into this beast. The layoffs have just begun. Under-employment as workers get downgraded to part time (which does not count on the unemployment numbers) is rampant. Blame the business owners? They are being driven out faster than you can say "Jack's your daddy".
You think unemployment is bad now? Just wait.

Affordable Health Care will be the death of this Republic. Really smart people have been ringing the bell for these four years begging, pleading; going through the bill pointing out the massive intrusions, back breaking costs, hellish conditions that will follow -- including death panels (which are responsible for thousands of deaths in England right now). For the children? Well, maybe the genetically pure ones (let's ask famous Progressive, George Bernard Shaw about that one).

Progressives are smart and will smear alarm bell ringers as being hate mongers.  Mirroring.

But national alarm is beginning to wake the people up. Even the most Liberal of true Liberals are beginning to agree: Something is deadly wrong. 

Please call your Congressmen, Senators, and anyone else you can think of. This is NOT Republican v.s. Democrat. This is Freedom v.s. Socialism.

Get out of this before it is too late.

When Absurdity is the Norm

Humor is in taking a situation and extending it to it's natural point of absurdity.
But, when absurdity is at the beginning of a situation, where can you go but further down. 
Seriously, I know people like this, who are offended by everything.
The only part they left out was that there isn't snow in Kwanza.

Sheesh...

Disarming Citizens:
What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

You're sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door. Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers. At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way.

With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pick up your shotgun. You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it... In the darkness, you make out two shadows.

 One holds something that looks like a crowbar. When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike, you raise the shotgun and fire. The blast knocks both thugs to the floor. One writhes and screams while the second man crawls to the front door and lurches outside.

As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you're in trouble. In your country, most guns were outlawed years before, and the few that are privately owned are so stringently regulated as to make them useless.. Yours was never registered.. Police arrive and inform you that the second burglar has died. They arrest you for First Degree Murder and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.

When you talk to your attorney, he tells you not to worry: authorities will probably plea the case down to manslaughter. "What kind of sentence will I get?" you ask. "Only ten-to-twelve years," he replies, as if that's nothing.

"Behave yourself, and you'll be out in seven." The next day, the shooting is the lead story in the local newspaper. Somehow, you're portrayed as an eccentric vigilante while the two men you shot are represented as choirboys. Their friends and relatives can't find an unkind word to say about them.. Buried deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both "victims" have been arrested numerous times.

But the next day's headline says it all: "Lovable Rogue Son Didn't Deserve to Die." The thieves have been transformed from career criminals into Robin Hood-type pranksters..

As the days wear on, the story takes wings. The national media picks it up, then the international media.

The surviving burglar has become a folk hero. Your attorney says the thief is preparing to sue you, and he'll probably win. The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized several times in the past and that you've been critical of local police for their lack of effort in apprehending the suspects. After the last break-in, you told your neighbor that you would be prepared next time.

The District Attorney uses this to allege that you were lying in wait for the burglars. A few months later, you go to trial. The charges haven't been reduced, as your lawyer had so confidently predicted. When you take the stand, your anger at the injustice of it all works against you.. Prosecutors paint a picture of you as a mean, vengeful man.

It doesn't take long for the jury to convict you of all charges. The judge sentences you to life in prison.

This case really happened.

On August 22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth,Norfolk , England, killed one burglar and wounded a second. In April, 2000, he was convicted and is now serving a life term.. How did it become a crime to defend one's own life in the once great British Empire  ? It started with the Pistols Act of 1903.

This seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols to minors or felons and established that handgun sales were to be made only to those who had a license. The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only handguns but all firearms except shotguns..

Later laws passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns. Momentum for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerford mass shooting in 1987.

Michael Ryan, a mentally disturbed man with a Kalashnikov rifle, walked down the street shooting everyone he saw.

When the smoke cleared, 17 people were dead. The British public, already de-sensitized by eighty years of "gun control", demanded even tougher restrictions. (The seizure of all privately owned handguns was the objective even though Ryan used a rifle.)

Nine years later, at Dunblane, Scotland, Thomas Hamilton used a semi-automatic weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public school.

For many years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as mentally unstable, or worse, criminals.

Now the press had a real kook with which to beat up law-abiding gun owners. Day after day, week after week, the media gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all handguns.

The Dunblane Inquiry, a few months later, sealed the fate of the few sidearm's still owned by private citizens.

During the years in which the British government incrementally took away most gun rights, the notion that a citizen had the right to armed self-defense came to be seen as vigilantism.

Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to people who were threatened, claiming that self-defense was no longer considered a reason to own a gun. Citizens who shot burglars or robbers or rapists were charged while the real criminals were released.

Indeed, after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman was quoted as saying, "We cannot have people take the law into their own hands."

All of Tony Martin's neighbors had been robbed numerous times, and several elderly people were severely injured in beatings by young thugs who had no fear of the consequences.

Martin himself, a collector of antiques, had seen most of his collection trashed or stolen by burglars. When the Dunblane Inquiry ended, citizens who owned handguns were given three months to turn them over to local authorities. Being good British subjects, most people obeyed the law.

The few who didn't were visited by police and threatened with ten-year prison sentences if they didn't comply. Police later bragged that they'd taken nearly 200,000 handguns from private citizens. How did the authorities know who had handguns?

The guns had been registered and licensed.

Kind of like cars. Sound familiar? WAKE UP AMERICA; THIS IS WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTION. "...It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.."

--Samuel Adams If you think this is important, please forward to everyone you know..

You had better wake up, because Obama is doing this very same thing, over here, if he can get it done. And there are stupid people in congress and on the street that will go right along with him.
