Obama, The Tea Party and A Day of Redemption

By now you may think that PBO is a socialist. So what. You get what you pay for. The American people voted him in with a wide margin of victory. There was no doubt about the outcome. The American people spoke on election day. Hope and change. He is indeed changing this country and if you don’t like it, tough. It is done. There is no turning it around now.

On March 21, 2010, Al Sharpton told Fox News, during the House of Representative’s passage of health care reform legislation; “I think that the president and Nancy Pelosi get credit, I think this began the transforming of the country the way the president had promised. This is what he ran on and if that transformation is socialism, then so be it. That is what the American public “overwhelmingly” voted for.”

It doesn’t come any louder or clearer than that. The cat is finally out of the bag.

We now also know that the healthcare bill is not about healthcare, it is indeed a tax, as I said all along. Right out of the New York times on July 16, 2010; “WASHINGTON — When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”
And that power, they say, is even more sweeping than the federal power to regulate interstate commerce.

Administration officials say the tax argument is a linchpin of their legal case in defense of the health care overhaul and its individual mandate, now being challenged in court by more than 20 states and several private organizations.”

Why else would they leave the collection of the money in the capable hands of the IRS. Did you foolishly believe for a minute that all of his smoke and mirror parlor tricks were for your health? If you did then you are indeed a sucker. When he promised you transparency in government, you were just looking in the wrong place for it. It was right in front of your eyes, all you had to do was look in the right direction. He said he was going to change America and he is doing exactly what he said he would do. Meanwhile you were laying on the sofa thinking that everything will work out just fine, surely it won’t change things that much. What a bunch of simpletons you are!

So why are you complaining? Now; what options do you have? Do you think that the “Tea Party” is going to stop all of this? Like the Calvary will come charging in with the bugler blowing “CHARGE” and all is going to be okay? You may well be mistaken. Do you honestly think that this congress is going to just turn around in November and repeal all of this? Why would they do that? They have been trying to get this done since the 40′s. You fell asleep at the wheel and look what happened. It is truly amazing how incredibly stupid and forgetful that the American public is. It is almost laughable.

In my own state of Georgia a gentleman named Roy Barnes is on the democratic ticket for governor this year. He won the Georgia primary and is their candidate. That doesn’t sound too awful unless you take into consideration the facts, that not to long ago, he was elected governor. His nickname was “King-Roy” and he was denied a second term by conservative voters, who were fed up with his lies and taxes, but here he is once again running on the exact same platform. Just as we are talking about cutting back, to balance the state budget, he is talking about putting teachers back to work who were furloughed and the only way to do that is to increase spending. Now look me in the eye and tell me that he isn’t planning on raising our taxes to get that little bit of trickery accomplished. If the teachers get together and vote this man back in, after they collectively tossed him out, then I have no sympathy for them. You absolutely, get what you pay for.

Which brings me back to PBO and the “Tea Party”. Good intentions aside, how are they going to change the way the Government conducts business? The house of representatives and the senate have been in power, long enough to circumvent any means of running them out of office. Hell, even when one of them, the likes of Charlie Rangle is caught red handed with his hand in the cookie jar, nothing will happen. There will be an investigation, he will make a deal and he may even resign, but I guarantee you, he will leave with full benefits, the likes of which you and I will never see in our lifetime.

When Obama-Care was passed, they conveniently exempted themselves, their staff and family from it. They have the best healthcare in the world and guess who pays for it. You and I.
The real problem in Washington is the government itself. It is a packaged deal with lots of perks, for those lucky enough to walk the halls as a senator or representative. There is an unlimited amount of money and power at their finger tips. It is like a den of thieves, all of them drunken with their power of office. It is a fraternity. Once in, you are a player. You will never see them overtly slamming another member of their ranks. They may disagree over policy, but that is about all that they will do. They protect each other. Kind of like the “World Wrestling Federation”. The wrestlers put on a great show as they yell at each other and slam their opponent to the canvas, sometimes with real blood in the mix, but at the end of the day, they will go to a club and share a beer or two, with a few laughs about that nights show. Believe me, it is all a show. This is exactly what our congress does. In the end, they are all on the same page, they just represent different party’s.

So you have these grandiose ideas that in November, you are going to make a change. Good luck with that. Until the day comes when, honor and integrity return to this nation, I feel that day of redemption will be far away. Many have went to congress with the notion that they are going to make a change for the better. It never happened. Just ask Scott Brown.

What will it take? Somebody with guts. Somebody with determination. Somebody with the will to run the corruption out of our government. I hope that he surfaces soon before it is too late.

In retrospect, maybe the “Tea Party” will make them take a closer look at who they are actually screwing: their fellow Americans. Maybe they will feel shame and remorse for their dirty deeds. One can only hope. We may actually be able to rid ourselves of a few bad ones, in November. Who will have the character to stand up to the indoctrination that they are going to be faced with, when they finally get there? What has happened here is a total loss of morality. They ran God off. Now look who is leading the way.

Checkmate. Obamacare passes the House.

The Congressional switch board was literally jammed Saturday with an estimated one hundred thousand calls per hour coming in prior to and during the vote on Obamacare. The stage was set for a final showdown between the House of Representatives and the voting public and that is exactly what it amounted to; a showdown. All of the polls from start to finish indicated to even the least intelligent person on the Hill that the American people were not in favor of this massive takeover of our medical system. The phones rang continuously and all of their mailboxes were full and still this Congress that is supposed to be the voice of the people turned their back on us and voted in a predictable fashion.

It all seemed a bit too contrived and without remorse on any of their part. This health care reform bill which started off with a whimper and became the most hotly debated piece of legislation to pass through the Congress in many years has turned our prestigious halls of legislation into a house of shame. Our Representatives voted on a bill that will bring in more debt, more government bureaucracy, more government control and give the IRS more power than ever before and still they voted yes! Not once did any of them bother to hear the voices of their constituents. Not once did they listen to the people. Nancy Pelosi and her partners in crime had their arms interlocked and looks of shear arrogance, as they walked into the House cowering in the presence of the protest going on in plain sight. The entire episode was a travesty.

This bill is scheduled to be signed into law tomorrow by a President obviously relieved at the passage of a bill and with it the salvation of his Presidency. He has heralded it as historic and indeed it is historic. For the first time in our nations history one of the most comprehensive takeovers of American free enterprise has occurred. Not with due process of law, but rather by blatant bribery, arm twisting, shady backroom deals, lies, deception and trickery. The American people are not stupid and the game was up a long time ago. We as a people no longer believed or trusted the government and all of the talk of health care reform became a contest of wills. The speeches and rallies that they staged and televised with smiling people yelling out his name and sad tales of no health insurance were exactly that; staged. The meeting with all of the doctors in the white lab coats was total insult to our intelligence, a grand photo op with all of the coats handed out just prior to the video taping.

This administration has broken the trust of the American people. People are angrier than ever before and yet they look down on us with utter contempt. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the ring leaders of this great con on the public smile and carry on as if nothing at all occurred. Now they have another item on their agenda. Damage control. In this case however it has nothing to do with putting a spin on the entire thing with slick press coverage to cover their tracks. No. Next on the agenda will almost certainly be, immigration reform or amnesty as it has been called. 6.5 million illegal immigrates in this country will be given access to the bill just passed. Most do not pay taxes but they will be given a slice of the pie. Why? To help ensure a solid democrat support base. Divvy out free health care to a majority of low income and middle class people who are struggling to make ends meet in this dire economy and around election time you will have a guaranteed vote. Simple math.

In this board game that Obama has been playing with the public a winning move has just been made; checkmate! Or so it may seem. This game has awakened a people that have long been asleep and were content to sit back and watch things happen without so much as a twitch. They are more than awake now. They are angry! There will be direct challenges to this bill, lawsuits are already being drawn up. Individual states are assessing the possibility of nullifying it before it even has time to take effect. This is not the end of this loathsome bill. You will be hearing about it for some time to come. Have they overstepped the rules of the game? Yes, but November is right around the corner and along with it the mid term elections. We will see how the members of congress react to this when the time comes. Jobs will be lost in the House and the Senate. Possibly a complete loss of the House for the Democrats. A political tsunami will occur as a result of this bill, but it was a risk that they were willing to take.

The American people are resilient and this game is not over by a long shot. Checkmate? This game has just started!

Ronald Reagan on Socialized Medicine

Do you think that Socialized Medicine is a new discussion? This issue is one that will not go away. It has been around for many years. Listen to what Ronald Reagan had to say about it in 1961 as a private citizen.
