The Health Care Mess in Pictures
By · July 10, 2009 · CommentsAhh…don’t you just love government efficiency. This is the chart of regulations in the Kennedy-Dodd Health Reform Bill via RedState. How well will the government do with your health care? A picture is worth a thousand words.
Thursday’s Thoughts
By · July 9, 2009 · CommentsRemember Recovery.gov, the website established by the Obama administration to allow Americans to monitor how well the stimulus money is spent? Yeah, the one that V.P. Biden didn’t even know the website number for, even though he was in charge of it. It was launched in February and apparently already needs an overhaul…TO THE TUNE OF $18 MILLION DOLLARS! Yes, I said $18 million. What in the name of Sam Hill are these morons doing? Why would a website cost $18 million? Just for comparison, the website you’re reading right now costs less than $100 per year. Hey, I got an idea. How about we hop on the first flight back from looney land and get a little dose of reality. Do you think this is an appropriate expenditure of your money?

Last week I posted about Harry Reid refusing to give Senators and the public a full week to review the health care bill before voting on it. Now, Madame Speaker has said the same thing. Okay America, it’s time to bend over.
9. Another Duke Rape Case
You probably remember all the hubub in the press a few years ago when three white members of the Duke lacrosse team was accused of rape by a black student who was also a stripper. The press was on it like flies on honey. However, there is a new Duke rape case you won’t hear about in the media. This time, a prominent gay researcher is accused of raping his five year old son as well as offering him up on the internet for others to abuse. The media doesn’t seem to care about this one though. Why? Because it doesn’t fit their agenda of liberal lunacy. Whites raping blacks…AN OUTRAGE! Gays raping children…well now, we want to be tolerant of gay people so we wouldn’t want to do anything to defame them. I mean, it’s not like they’re Sarah Palin. Another case of media bias.
8. EPA Coverup
A report circulated within the EPA was not released publicly after its findings conflicted with claims that global warming is caused by carbon emissions. Critics – including eight congressmen — say the document was suppressed.
7. State Sovereignty is Dead
A federal judge in California has issued an injunction to stop a proposed $2 hourly wage reduction of the state’s home-care workers, reductions made by the state as part of efforts cut a budget shortfall of $24 billion. What happens when a business runs out of money? Typically it lays people off or reduces employee wages. But hey, this is government right? Lunacy reigns.
6. U.S. Leaves Iraqi Cities
Iraqi forces assumed formal control of Baghdad and other cities Tuesday after American troops handed over security in urban areas in a defining step toward ending the U.S. combat role in the country. Since they’ve inherited everything else, I wonder if the Obama administration will claim to have inherited the success in Iraq from Bush? Read More→
Still Think Government Health Care Will Be Free?
By · July 3, 2009 · CommentsUnder a current health care proposal by Senators Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) and Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Americans who choose not to buy health care coverage would be required to pay a fine of $1,000. The fine would be for individuals while families who choose not to be covered would be fined even more. These fines are being labeled as “shared responsibility payments” and would raise an estimated $36 billion over 10 years. Don’t be fooled, those “shared responsibility payments” are nothing more than taxes.
The Kennedy-Dodd plan would include a government-run health care option that would compete with private insurance companies and would also fine employers with more than 25 employees $750 per worker for not providing health insurance to their employees. First, they said Americans have a “right” to proper health care coverage. However, apparently we don’t have the right to refuse it. Happy Independence Day everyone!
Who the heck is Shawn Swisher? I am a man who believes America is truly a great country. I believe we need to return to the Constitution and the Christian principles this country was founded on. I believe we must protect and preserve our freedoms, or we will most definitely lose them. I believe left wing liberals are a bunch of loons. I am a conservative... join me in the revolution!
