Maybe He Stayed at a Holiday Inn Express Last Night

President Obama went almost every talk show this Sunday. I did not watch any of them because I watch my softball on ESPN. I also didn't watch because I didn't think I would here anything different. I haven't been spoon fed since I was an infant. But George Stephanopoulos changed that. When I woke up this morning I was greeted in my e-mail box with this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFxomW3RqYY. Did you watch it? Before Obama was condescending to Mr. Stepenopoulos, he said, "We're not going to have other people carrying the burden for you." Really? This goes counter to a fundamental belief of his presidency. He believes in the redistribution of wealth. I could link that quote also but I assume you have already seen it. He doesn't want others carrying the burden for others. I think I am part of carrying burden for almost 40% of other Americans. Some Americans not only pay no taxes, but receive money from the government (AKA the taxpayer).

This is what drives me nuts with liberals. They can't apply their logic across the board. He believes in the redistribution on wealth, but in this case, he doesn't. Profit is bad if you're a corporation. Unless you're a corporation that sells carbon credits.(Right Al) But not if you author two books, are Democrat Senator, are an anchor on NBC, CBS, ABC. Making over $200,000 a year is bad. Unless you are a Union President and the previously mentioned persons. Dissent is bad, or should I say racist, unless your opinion is ok'd by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barney Frank.

What I think the President is leading to is that his opinion should be accepted as fact. (2+2=5) As much as I disagreed with the policies of the Bush Administration(TARP and the beginning of the auto bailout) I don't remember coming home EVERY NIGHT and catching a president in a contradiction or dare I say it: A lie. What I want is leadership from my President. And not authorizing military request, defunding missile defense, apologizing for our history not talking about what is great about America, and saying you know nothing about the funding ACORN(It was in the stimulus that you supposedly read and now we know you did not). Remember when Afiganistan was where we should have invaded instead of Iraq? All accused criminals have rights, unless you are a former advisor or interigators. I could go on but you get the point.
This is not leadership this is pushing an ideology and Obama as celebrity playing the President.

Well This Clears Up Nothing

Well the libs are rolling out their clean up hitter President Carter to clear up the debate over health care. You can watch the video thanks to Realclear politics.com: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/09/15/carter_claims_there_is_racist_tone_against_obama.htmlalthcare.

Since there is a lot of demands for apologies these days I would like one from President Carter for calling me a racist. The Political ads in this part of the country played up his white heritage. There was no mention that he was African-American. (Well except the visual one). So I am declaring victory for the defeat of Nationalize Health care because my rules of engagement for argument is the first one to name call loses. That's it. That's the best the proponents of this liberty stealing, tax increasing, power grab of legislation can do. (No mention of Obama's race in any of the negatives that I just laid out). When you hear the word Government in any context, insert "my money" and you will view Entitlement programs in a completely different light. Example: "With this Bill, Government will insure 47 million people. " Now say: My money will pay for the insurance of 47 million people that I don't know. Doesn't sound as powerful, but is equally true. And there was no mention of the President's race,

Thou Shall Not Bear False Witness

Is this President kidding? He is quoting the Bible in front of religious leaders! Didn't he say that the ignorant (emphasis is mine) people just cling to their guns and religion? How can he say that if you disagree with his health care plan, all you can do is lie? What has he said? What I want is leadership. Fine he and I disagree on weather government can run health care for everyone. But what is the counter argument? I want Barack to come out and say "that the plan I want is A...B...C...D. "But he can't. What he wants is what 88% of Americans do not want and that is a single payer system. And for all of you who do not understand what that means I will spell it out for you. It is one entity paying for all health care. AKA the Government. AKA You, with higher taxes. Now I know that some receive money from the government and it is no burden to you, but I pay 36% of my income to the government. It is my highest debtor including my health insurance, car payments...well all other bills combined. Put and end to this monopoly! Single payer leads to rationing...fact. Single payer leads to higher taxes...fact. Single payer is more government dictating in your life...fact. Where are the lies? Death Panels...the whole bill is a death panel. I am not bearing false witness here, I believe this. The fact is that competition leads to better service and better products. The example is the computer. Years ago the computer used to take up entire rooms of the office building and were VERY expensive. Now you can put them in your lap and sip a non-fat, half-whip-mocha-green tea-frappacino while search out the next corporation to hate. This is insanity. I know....Iknow....we all have the right to not go broke if we get sick. What about cars, groceries, homes. Wait they already tried the latter and look where we are now. I want leadership, not rhetoric, the campaign season is over and it is time to lead. But this administration can't because they have TO SELL us the policies because they have ALL failed in the past. Please if you call yourself a Progressive can you please progress past the 1940's. FDR is dead and Keynesian economics have never worked. Hope vs Fear please I do not fear what I have already seen does not work. I'll end with question: Name ONE government program that has not gone into debt, lowered prices and been more efficient? Just one.

Where in the Constitution?

David Hendrick is a hero on more than 1 level. David thank you for your service to this country and thank you for your patriotism. You embody the passion and the thoughtfulness of the American citizen. Where in the Constitution does it say that the Government has the power to take over Health care? Probably right next to the right to an abortion clause. Where in the Constitution does it give the Government the right to ignore the American people? Probably right next to the "separation of church and state clause". What I don't understand is this administration wants EVERYTHING to go through the Executive Branch. Which the President is the sole proprietor of that branch. Weren't the libs screaming against a Unitarian branch just two years ago? I don't understand how every American isn't outraged by this Presidency. He is hiring czars, or as I like to call them "friends that also hate America". Van Jones, Mark Lloyd, Dr. Zeke Emanuel, etc. Did 52.7% of the voters elect Barack Obama or MC Hammer?

I just don't get it...Obama wants to "fundamentally change America". What are America's fundamentals. Liberty, free markets, inalienable rights given to us by God Almighty. A Government that will defend our borders, not bow down or apologize to third world thugs and genocidal maniacs. A Government that encourages citizens to GO OUT and get all that you can get. Love for God,country, and family. He wants to change all that? What do you think that means?

I know...I know...I can't get over that a white man lost an election to a black man. Nice counter point...if your a moron. I judge a man on the content of his character. Or, in this case, his policies. Nationalizing banks(Socialist), Nationalizing Auto Industry (Socialist), Nationalize Health care(Socialist), Fundamentally changing America (Socialist), The President is part of the elite class that does not have to follow the rules that he enacts(Socialist).

Think about it, the President has sworn in front of God and the nation to uphold the Constitution and defend this nation AGAINST ALL enemies. I haven't seen it. On all fronts I have seen Mr. Obama work to circumvent the procedures by hiring czars, and figuring out a way to pass health care without the 60 votes (see Chuck Schumer's latest proposal:Source Marklevinshow.com). I have seen him win the favor of the Castros (Cubadebates.com) and Hugo Chavez. I have also seen him reward the people who helped put him office. Where in the Constitution is that encouraged?
If you love this country, you should be celebrating David Hendrick and many more like him. If you love this country, you should embrace what it stands for. If you love this country you should not want it fundementally changed. Where do I get my right to accuse the President of all these things...the Constitution.

Did the President Just Tell Me to Shut Up

This is incredible. "I don't want the people who started this mess to do a whole lot of talking." That is great because the people who started this mess are dead. Lyndon B. Johnson and Harry S. Truman. We could argue about the expansion and the fraud, but it does not go to the quote. It is on record that the two previously mentioned people "started it". I have a question: How do you clean up the mess by forcing insurance companies to deny no one and put a cap on premiums? If I know my free-market principles, that will cause coverage costs to go up. Say it out loud: Expanding coverage will improve the market place and cost less. But I guess I am un-patriotic and full of dis-information.
You know like on page 124 of THE BILL -No company can sue the government over price fixing. Page 145-Employers MUST automatically enroll employees in public options. Page 127 Government will tell Doctors what they can make. Page 146-Employer must pay for health care for part-time employees. And my favorite one on page 167-Anybody that doesn't have acceptable health care will be taxed 2 1/2% of income.
Does that mean if we don't have health care that pays for abortions? Who decides what is acceptable? Is there going to be an Acceptable Czar. I know...I know...I don't understand the legislative process or language. So it is unacceptable for Credit Card companies to have wordy and hard to understand agreements, but not the Federal Government . But don't worry Obama is prepared for this kind of attack.
"When they say this bill is not about affordable health care, tell them yes it is." When they ask if this is going to cut Medicare benefits, tell them no it isn't. That's it. That is your defense, just counter all the arguments with sophomoric responses. I haven't seen a defense this weak since "My dad can beat up your dad". If this Health care bill is about insuring the people that don't have Health care why all these stipulations in the bill. He says the stars are aligned. If by stars he means Special interest groups, he may be right. The AARP, Pharmaceutical Companies, SEIU, and the AMA all want it. Why, I don't know.
The fact is that 80% of Americans don't want this reform whatever you are calling it at the time of this post and last I checked this is a representative republic. I'll say it: Mr. Obama this is about what you want. And if you impose your wants on the people that is not a representative republic that is dictatorship. What you are hearing is not some organized right-wing , misinformed, hate-mongering, mob. What you are hearing is informed Americans. That are sick and tired of supporters of this tyranny act like Billy Flynn and you refuse to listen to them. How Patriotic is that?

Get the RIch, Get 'em

Let's hate the rich. It is the newest fad since last November. OK. But it is only select rich that we are supposed to hate. Retail Coporations, Oil Companies, Insurance Companies and Healthcare Professionals. According to Salary.com, the highest quoted salary for people who have jobs like you and me is $41,864. (Aug 2009). According to Payscale.com, the oil companies average salary for 5-9 years is $20,000 and over 20 years is $100,000 for exploration and $60,000 for oil and gas. So far all the facts I have fall under the $250,000 cap said by President Obama. There are retail companies out there that are proposing to congress to do the insurance reform exactly like their model. This is to use pre-tax dollars to promote a healthy lifestyle and charge accordingly.
If the current adminstration gets thier way THESE are the people that are going to lose their jobs. Oil companies pay MORE taxes than any other Corporation in the World. And take no Government subsidies. Let's drill more and create more of the best jobs IN THE WORLD! The insurance company operate on 1% profit margin and oil 8%. Even during the "record profits" for oil in 2008, they still maintain 8%. It was the priceof oil Internationally that was drive up pump prices. What is doing it today? Not Big Oil. It is the current Adminstrations devaluing of the dollar.
I am ready to hate the rich and what they are doing to my country. Let's start at the top Barack Obama. He made an estimated $2 milllion dollars from his books. And wanted an advance so he did NOT have to pay "the Obama taxes". Nancy Pelosi whose net income is $19 million. She only makes $217,400 as the Speaker so the rest must come from her non-union vineyard in St. Helena California. Biden, who challenges Dan Quayle in IQ contests, he makes over $250,000 a year.
Let's come clean. The people that are telling you to hate the rich are rich themselves. And when that doesn't work anymore because the american people are smart, they'll start on race warfare. Does Gates-Gate come to mind? How about Al Sharpton speaking at Micheal Jackson's funeral? You don't get a job from a poor person. Profits are not evil! Say it out loud, "I want my company to have smaller profits so I can make more money."
We work. We Pay our bills, drive our cars, go on vacations. And it is all thanks to the rich
