Sickle & Hammer Healthcare

Senator Reid announced that his version of the proposed healthcare legislation now includes the government takeover of this industry. Of course, to dilute the anger of America's productive citizens, he proclaimed that every state will have the option to opt out of the program.

What this sickle and hammer socialist forgot to mention is that the residents of the states that reject government controlled healthcare will be taxed for it. That's the Catch-22. The weasel knows it's a trap, as the tax payers in those states that opt out will be forced to pay for the benefits offered in the participating states.

Speaker Pelosi, is doing a lot of stammering. She is searching for a catchy phrase to sell her edition of a government healthcare monopoly. She tried the moniker, "Consumer Choice." The last time "choice" was used to sell the liberal agenda, doctors (with the consent of pregnant women) started killing about 1.5 million babies every year.

Maybe Pelosi's words inadvertently projected her vision of government controlled healthcare. Despite her denials, she knows that insuring an additional thirty million people, plus millions of illegal aliens, will swamp the system. Rationing will become the de facto standard throughout the country.

Withholding medical treatment from the elderly is the only solution that could prevent the nation's bankruptcy once the government controls healthcare. It could also solve the Social Security and Medicare shortfalls. Maybe, just maybe, she knows her plan will rid the nation of 1.5 million elderly each year. Or, maybe that is the plan.

Currently, the federal Medicare payments only cover 80% of the actual cost of the services provided by hospitals and doctors. The premiums of those with private insurance are inflated about 30% to cover the Medicare differential.

Without the actual cost of the services being subsidized by the private insurers most hospitals and medical practitioners would be forced to reject patients on Medicare. It's common knowledge that many medical professionals, especially in rural areas, are already turning away Medicare clients because they cannot afford to absorb the losses.

Neither Pelosi nor Reid have factored in the 20% increase in actual costs required to keep hospitals open when the private insurers are driven out of business. That's par for the course. Medicare costs are 90% higher than the original cost projections provided by these liars.

Now factor in this anti-capitalist cabal's plans for the pharmaceutical industry. Despite Mr. Obama's description of them as greedy profiteers, these US companies develop and invent almost 100% of the drugs and devices that keep people living longer and better lives.

Be guaranteed, once the government is solely responsible for medical R&D, there will be no R&D, unless organizations such as ACORN are provided grants for medical research.

Americans can only reach one conclusion about the Democrats' attempt to displace America's entire private healthcare system with Obama Care. It's their best chance to replace capitalism with socialism. Their success will sound America's death knell.

Be frightened of these Marxist jackals . . . be frightened by their determination to destroy the Constitution, Capitalism and Christianity.

Time to Clean House

When President Bush left the White House the national debt was $10.6 trillion. During his two terms in office the Republicans voted 8 times to raise the nation's debt ceiling. Their reward for this reckless disdain for the US' economic health is recorded in the 2008 elections.

The Democrats clobbered them, sending these spendthrifts to the bleachers. It was the justice they deserved. Now the Democrats are racking up spending.

They just created the largest one year deficit in history, adding $1.4 trillion of new debt. They have broken every pledge they made, and are breaking new ground on fiscal suicide.

They are on course to add another $1.6 trillion of debt in the current fiscal year. Even a casual observer would question what this administration has in its political arsenal that will insulate it from the same retribution that the Republicans suffered.

There is no good news on the horizon.

The federal government's official statistics confirm there are about 15 million unemployed workers. Mr. Obama's Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, Christina Romer, just conceded that the Stimulus Package didn't and won't put a dent in unemployment.

This directly impacts the government's bottom line. Tax revenues will shrink about 18%.

Of course, the Democrats plan to fund more entitlements by raising the nation's debt level to $13 trillion. They are already printing money to pay the interest on the national debt. Expect these weasels to hide this maneuver in the footnotes of another piece of unrelated legislation.

And here comes another $2 trillion in debt. Reid, Pelosi and Obama will soon unveil their universal healthcare scam. Listening to them praise the advantage of another $2 trillion of debt makes one wonder if they've heard about the voters' growing wrath.

Don't kid yourself. There is proof that the Democrats are accurately reading the voter tea leaves. Their attempt to remove reimbursements to doctors from their healthcare bill to "reduce its cost" demonstrates their concern, and lack of even a shred of integrity.

They plan on making their healthcare monstrosity revenue neutral by burying $250 billion of its cost in deficits. Deficits this size can't be sustained without more borrowing, which will quickly make the US currency worthless.

Obama and his sickle and hammer crew are proceeding with their plans to confiscate investment capital with an array of taxes, as if they have nothing to fear. It seems they are depending on the 45% of Americans who don't pay taxes to vote for anyone promising more handouts.

These voters have proven that they are too stupid to realize that the interest on the deficit will soon consume 40% of government revenues, and that massive new taxes on the top 10% of income earners will destroy any chance of economic recovery for a decade.

The elderly depending on Social Security should take note. The only predictable outcome of Obama's economic course is hyper-inflation, which will reduce the buying power of their checks to the point where they won't be worth a bag of sand within three to five years.

And that is the economic reality the nation is approaching at super-sonic speeds. More troubling, there is no proof that the Republicans will be any better.

It's time to clean house.

Government Censorship

The Obama administration is out of control. The outrages are accumulating. This secretive cabal is rapidly transforming the White House into command central for authoritarian rule. And there is no ethical or constitutional boundary that it's unwilling to transgress.

There is no civility or pretense of listening to the voices of Middle America. Unbridled arrogance, hypocrisy and deceit are the lynchpins that allow this administration to undermine America's values and security.

The White House is packed with sickle and hammer socialists who are at war with capitalism and Christianity. There is nothing they won't say or do to destabilize the nation's economic vitality or limit the opposition's freedom of expression.

They have one goal. They want every man, woman and child subservient to the government. They will not rest until the federal government is beyond the control of the voters and the media.

They regard dissent as un-American, counterproductive interference with this goal. For Obama to be successful, media content must be dictated by the government.

Obama has personally led the charge against Fox News in interviews on competing stations. Last Sunday his attack dogs, Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, unleashed a barrage of venom against Fox after it ran a fact-check on the assertions made by Tammy Duckworth, Obama's Assistant Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Obama's anointed vipers weren't upset over Fox providing irrefutable proof that she had lied. Rather, they went ballistic because this news organization had the temerity to fact-check her statements. These attacks reek of the arrogance of power, and epitomizes the White House's determination to silence dissent.

They need the media to bless their lies; or, at worst, ignore them.

Now, put this frontal attack into a wider perspective. That the White House only attacks Fox seems to indicate that the administration controls the other TV news outlets. It would appear that the Obama administration is one news outlet short of controlling the content on the airwaves and the news programming on cable.

The American people are by-passing the obvious propaganda touted as news in America's once proud newspapers. Most of these propaganda organs are on the verge of bankruptcy. This explains the administration's desire to bail them out.

Obama's agenda will only flourish in the dark. The truth is his enemy. Imagine the integrity of the local newspapers once the government representatives are officially sitting on the editorial boards and on the Board of Directors of newspapers.

Left un-checked, his hatred of America will reduce this proud nation to a withering entity. He and his sickle and hammer cabal are waging a frontal attack against the Constitution, Capitalism and Christianity, the three C's upon which the USA was built.

And don't forget! Today Obama's Internet Czar, Susan Crawford, is gathering the socialist faithful to discuss how the federal government can police the political content on the Internet.

Schizophrenic Politicians

The Republican leadership seems to be gloating over the voters' reaction to the Democratic tax and spend agenda. They are rubbing their hands together in anticipation of substantial gains in the 2010 congressional elections.

These fools are under the impression that the Tea Party crowds represent expanded support for conservative principles, which automatically converts to Republican votes. If this is the pony they plan on riding to the finish line, they are buying oats for a dead horse.

Americans have broken the code. A "Compassionate Conservative" is a Democrat masquerading as a conservative. Generally, the Republican politicians in this pile do understand and support national defense, unlike their counterparts across the aisle.

But the second leg of the conservative ladder is fiscal conservatism. Any candidate campaigning under the Republican banner who supported the stimulus package and the last bloated budget has little in common with the Tea Party attendees.

And be assured that any candidate crowing about his or her conservative credentials is wasting energy if their "social conscience" spurred votes that crippled the national security and their constituents' employment opportunities.

These weasels are no different than the Democratic wastrels currently hiding behind closed doors concocting a $2 trillion medical nightmare.

With actual unemployment hovering above 16% and nothing in sight that will reverse this trend for two or three years, the government tax receipts will remain anemic. Combining this dearth of revenue with relentless spending is creating unimaginable deficits.

Any politician contributing to this fiasco won't be able to hide behind a party label. A politician's voting record is rapidly becoming the paramount issue. Granted, politicians that represent the lunatic fringe in districts where the lunatic fringe enjoy a plurality are safe.

Weasels like Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Henry Waxman, Charlie Rangel and Nancy Pelosi will not be dislodged. America's only protection from their sickle and hammer agenda is the ability to make them irrelevant. They can be banished to the bleachers.

On the other hand, if the Republican leadership think they can revive their party's majority by simply unfurling its flag over a candidate's head, they don't understand the voter backlash. Dede Scozzafava, a Republican candidate with ACORN stripes, is dying in a conservative New York bastion.

Why? Americans are tired of schizophrenic politicians.

The two party system is not about to collapse. But the once guaranteed political cover and votes from the party faithful are dissolving. Since the Republican and Democratic members of congress sold their souls to their parties and the lobbyists that fund their campaigns, the party designation only stands for party-preservation.

There is a high probability that the majority of Americans would be thankful if all 535 members of congress resigned. And there is a higher probability that a greater majority would believe the nation would be better off without them.

This attitude will continue to strengthen until the congressional representatives start representing their constituents.

The H1N1 Inoculation

The H1N1 inoculation debate is indicative of the nation's opinion of the federal government.

In the face of a predicted pandemic and knowing about seventy US children have already died from the swine flu, many Americans are leery about getting the vaccination.

The fact that medical personnel in many communities don't have a choice in the matter isn't exactly reassuring. That the government is forced to give an ultimatum to the best medically informed citizens to insure vaccination compliance doesn't inspire trust.

Skepticism about the integrity of the drug is not unwarranted. With the endless stream of lies and distortions flowing from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue why should anyone believe the government health experts?

They are part of the same government that told Americans that 35 million people could be added to the healthcare rolls at no additional cost. And these are the same folks that give equal credence to General McCrystal's and Vice President Biden's plans to win the war in Afghanistan.

Keep in mind that this is the same crew that has no problem with aborting babies and rationing healthcare, gutting Medicare and encouraging illegal aliens to come and siphon off the system, and wants the terrorists in Gitmo to be transferred to American prisons where they can spread their message of hatred.

They are part of the same team that is attacking the CIA and making nice with the world's thugs. The very same people that are indoctrinating our grade school children, comparing Obama to God, and are using tax dollars to spread propaganda through the arts.

And it would be foolish to look for advice from an impartial press. The opinions expressed by these vermin aren't worth the paper and airtime upon which they are served.

Remember that these political marketers are in a protected position. It's nearly impossible for them to contract any airborne disease with their heads and hands stuffed inside the orifices of the White House's propaganda team.

The stalwart supporters of H1N1 vaccines are on the same team as the financial geniuses who guaranteed unemployment wouldn't exceed 8% if the federal government spent $1 trillion enlarging its pet welfare programs like ACORN. How did that work out for your friends, neighbors and relatives?

The destruction of America is a work-in-progress. We all watch as the 535 weasels in congress destroy the prospects of future generations of Americans. The national deficit has the entire world looking for a sounder currency.

And although Mr. Obama didn't tell us to our faces, he has made it clear to the rest of the world that the people in America are the reason the world isn't perfect. Now, when you add a president who despises Americans to this equation, why would anyone believe the messages emanating from Washington DC?

The H1N1 vaccination may be wonderful. There is only one problem. There is no one left in government the people can trust. That's what happens when the truth is sacrificed for political aggrandizement. It's the same reality found in North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba.

Government Extortion

There is a reason why Mr. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer and Barney Frank are pursuing socialized medicine against the instincts and wishes of the majority of Americans.

And it's becoming clear that the actual quality of the healthcare their legislation produces is secondary to their objective.

These liars would have us believe that they can add 20 million (don't kid yourself) non-paying beneficiaries of healthcare to the system without increasing the cost or negatively impacting the quality of service.

The lines leading out the doors at the Departments of Motor Vehicles at month's end, and the Post Office lines during the holidays provide a tangible insight into the future of waiting rooms at medical institutions.

This lie is compounded by their guarantee that illegal aliens will not be allowed to participate in US taxpayer sponsored healthcare. The Supreme Court in Texas has already ruled that no person inside the US borders can be denied government paid services ranging from education to welfare and healthcare.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) correctly states that the legislation du jour is revenue neutral. That is, it will not increase the deficit.

However, once Obama Care is fully implemented, if the cuts in Medicare, the increased taxes on insurance companies and medical equipment, the diminution of the medical tax deduction, the fines for uninsured families and small businesses, and the arbitrary cuts in payments to hospitals and doctors are removed, the legislation will add about a trillion dollars to the deficit.

Therefore, the current legislation is revenue neutral if taxes, fees and penalties are increased one dollar for every dollar the government needs to fund Obama Care. Only in Washington DC is this considered revenue neutral.

Now put these lies in context with the proposed legislation floating in the halls of Congress.

The proposals include new taxes on soft drinks, the doubling or tripling of family energy costs (Cap and Trade), the $1 trillion cost of amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens, and Pelosi's introduction of a national sales tax.

Obama, Reid and Pelosi have already committed to add $1.4 trillion in deficit spending each year in the coming decade. They are printing money and guaranteeing the world that the US taxpayers will cover this debt to forestall the collapse of the US dollar.

After the 2012 presidential elections the American public will be told that unless taxes are increased 20% to 30% that the US economy will not survive. That will be the truth.

So let's stop pretending that the US deficit is the result of a bad economy. The deficit is being planned to extort every last penny from America's productive, which will crush capitalism, crush opportunity. And that's the fundamental change Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are shrewdly pursuing.

Suffocating America

Somewhere in his education Mr. Obama missed the lessons on the duties of the President of the United States. Be reminded, this man is a product of political correctness, diversity and affirmative action. A progressive education must ignore history, the Constitution and the acknowledgment of a Supreme Being to justify and achieve its goals.

Obama is unfamiliar with the core values upon which the nation was built. He perceives private enterprise as the enemy of the state and personal freedom as an affront to government. This is natural for anyone who has never breathed air outside the government's womb.

Obama doesn't value the principles upon which the nation was built, appreciate the reason for its strength and prosperity, nor does he comprehend what motivates its productive citizens.

He's what you get when the government defines equal opportunity. Those so cursed don't have heroes, just benefactors. Obama's recent trip to Denmark on behalf of Chicago epitomizes his priorities. While soldiers die in Afghanistan, he spent his time shilling for the 2016 Olympic Games for Mayor Daley.

Obama has never had a job that wasn't subsidized by the taxpayers, nor has he ever competed on an even playing field. This includes his current position. He is seated in the Oval Office because the national press deliberately lied, distorted, ignored and buried any evidence that defined his character, associates, paltry record and ability.

Obama is an insufferable political hack. He acts like a petulant, spoiled rock star who expects everyone to be mesmerized by his mere presence. Arrogance and naivety are the two characteristics that best define his persona. Ignorance is a close third, followed by his blinding sense of entitlement.

He is not a liar. This trait would require knowing the truth and deliberately denying it. Mr. Obama is not familiar with legislative detail. Pelosi, Reid, Chuck Schumer and Barney Frank write the words he reads on his teleprompter. If the facts are untrue he doesn't know it.

Obama is not a leader, nor a trusted ally or friend. A man without core values can't lead or be trusted. Israel, Great Britain, France, Poland and the Czech Republic are wary of him. They know he is naive and they don't respect him.

They have heard him condemn his own countrymen and are watching him ingratiate himself with the political scum of the world. When terrorists and tyrants praise the words and actions of an American president, while its allies back away, be assured the nation is headed in the wrong direction.

Let's hope the nation survives his presidency. The citizens will be powerless if the agenda of Pelosi, Reid, Schumer and Frank goes unchecked. This hate-America team is already prepping legislation to add $35 billion for more sub-prime housing loans, the underlying cause of the current recession.

Their goal is pure socialism which requires the obliteration of capitalism and religion. They hope to create a deficit so great that the taxes required for the nation to survive will destroy all personal wealth.

They should be tried for treason before the judges in America are socialist puppets.
