President Obama stated today that forcing private insurance companies to compete with a government program will according to the President, “keep them honest”. It would be nice if the President was honest about what he is trying to do. He is either deceiving the American public or at best completely ignorant of “competing” with the government.
The private sector insurance companies can’t create a ponsy scheme like Medicaid and Medicare that has over 1 TRILLION dollars in unfunded liability. First of all the company would be prosecuted for deceptive business practices. Second, business doesn’t have an endless spicket of tax payer dollars flowing into a pot that can easily be accessed to pay for current costs in the Medicare and Medicaid systems while putting off the true cost of the program on the backs of our children.
He is lying or ignorant. It is a theme that is becoming apparent on every issue he is taking on. He said he is not trying to socialize healthcare. He is full of it. That is exactly what a “one” payer system will do. The only one payer system that will work in healthcare is the consumer as the one payer.
The government takeover of healthcare is evil in its intent. Thomas Paine and many of our founders understood that government was at best a necessary evil. Evil because government is an absolute threat to freedom, life, and prosperity. Obama is willing to risk the life, freedom, and prosperity of every American by taking the best healthcare system in the world and ruining it with government intervention.
Government intervention will guarantee the destruction of the best healthcare in the world by running the private sector competition right out of it. Get ready for long waits, reduced technology, less access to drugs, and a reduction in life expectancy in America. This is pure evil for the health of America…
True knowledge of American history is necessary to insure the future of the America we love… This is an important time in our country's history. We must be wise and measured as we choose our leaders going forward.

What Happened to Energy Policy?
It wasn’t that long ago there was a movement to create an energy policy that was based on a comprehensive policy of domestic oil drilling, coal, nuclear, wind, and solar but what happened to the urgency? As usual politicians that have no business savvy or understanding of how the economy works have ignored it; again.
The result is another year wasted with no sound policy. And where is the price of oil heading, to $3.00 a gallon and up. Why? Because the control of supply is out of our hands and in the hands of enemy dictators and other countries to control.
When are we going to have the sense to hold these politicians accountable? Energy prices are about to sky rocket and we have a government taking over car companies; illegally I might add. The TARP money that was approved by congress has become a blank check for the Executive branch and that is unconstitutional. All spending must be approved by congress not as a blank check but with specific intentions attached to the money. If not the President becomes a benevolent dictator with the ability to spend like a drunken sailor on his best buddies. And what is he doing? Spending money like a drunken sailor on his political buddies.
If we were spending the last year building a refinery or two along with a couple of offshore oil platforms we would not be seeing this spike in oil prices. The Saudis and others would be scared to death that we would stop using their oil, and instead use our own supply and what would they have? Nothing. Take away oil production from the Middle East and what do they have to survive on? Nothing.
So as this administration acts like a child with ADD, the price of oil will rise to cripple our economy even further. The people will scream and the politicians will pretend to get angry and ultimately will use the crisis to take more freedom from us. It is really plain to see if you just take a moment to look…

No More Personal Accountability…
The tragic murder of George Tiller a man who performed late term abortions in Kansas is bringing to light one of the most important issues in society today; personal accountability.
Left wing blogs and left wing activists are trying to paint the entire community of people that oppose abortions in the same light as the man who killed Tiller. Their argument is that the act of this one crazy deranged man was influenced by Bill O’Reilly, Laura Ingraham, talk radio, preachers, and anyone opposed to abortion that has spoken out against the act. They believe if it wasn’t for the opposition to abortion and the legitimate debate about what abortion is Tiller would be alive today. They argue that any open and free debate can influence people to do tragic things like murdering the people they disagree with. If we believe this to be true we must shut down all speech including theirs.
The problem with the left’s argument is they leave out the one person responsible for the act of murder; the murderer. The personal accountability we each have over our actions is the true issue here. Every day people make personal decisions to engage in behavior that is both good and bad. No one holds a gun to our head to behave in certain ways. People are influenced by TV, radio, Blogs, and personal conversations. If we hold to the left’s current argument we will need to hold everyone else responsible for influencing bad behavior except the person that is truly responsible. The only people the left ever hold accountable for anything are conservatives.
The left continues to argue even after years and years of contrary evidence that people aren’t responsible for their own lot in life. They believe minorities are poor because of racism, the alcoholic continues to drink because of conditions beyond the drinkers control, children behave aggressively because of a chemical imbalance, and rich people get rich because they were born into wealth. The list goes on and on. The denial of personal accountability in both good and bad circumstances is ignored.
People are poor because they never finished their education, people are drunks because they choose to drink, kids are aggressive because parents don’t do their jobs, the rich get rich because they take risks and work 15 hours a day seven days a week. They are the way they are because of the choices they make. There are some exceptions but for the majority of us in life it is personal decisions that get us where we end up in life.
That is the case with this murder of Tiller. The murderer was responsible for taking the life of Tiller. O’Reilly, Ingraham, talk radio, Blogs, religious leaders will continue to debate the issue of abortion and the impact it has on society. That is a debate that must continue and they have no accountability in the murder of Tiller. The murderer is the only one responsible for taking Tiller’s life…

Only a Fool Would Believe…
President Obama is about to speak on America’s behalf to the Muslim world and he is going to state that “we as Americans misunderstand the Muslim world and they don’t understand us”. I would suggest neither is true if you listen to the rhetoric and watch the behavior.
Only a fool would believe Iran is developing nuclear facilities for peaceful purposes. They have stated time and time again the goal of wiping Israel off the face of the map. And their next target America. Does not sound peaceful to me. Obama will be played for a fool if he falls for the deception of Iran’s leadership. That is dangerous for everyone.
Obama hopes to “warm the relations between Americans and Muslims abroad.” Not every Muslim is radical but the majority of the hate in this world is perpetuated in the name of Islam. We are not the problem in this world. The hatred spewing from the Middle East toward our way of life is the problem. Are we to “warm” to the beheadings of non believers? Are we to “warm” to the way Muslim woman are treated; like possessions? Are we to “warm” to Sharia Law in America?
Obama is pressuring the only true stable ally we have in the Middle East, Israel, to bargain away their security with the maniacs running the Palestinian territory. The Palestinian leaders don’t want peace; they want Israel’s land and the annihilation of its people.
Obama is a fool if he believes his words will matter. The radical Muslims will say what he wants to hear and do what they need to do to destroy western culture right under his nose. He should know this better than anyone. He is a master at telling the people what they want to hear while pursuing policy that is completely opposite of his rhetoric.
He doesn’t want to run GM but he is running GM. He doesn’t want to run banks and decide executive pay but he’s running banks while limiting executive pay. He is doing exactly what the radical Muslim leaders are going to do to him.
Only a fool would think there is any chance for peace with a people that has a leadership that hates us to the core. Watch what these people do, not what they say. Don’t be a fool…

Cars Americans Don’t Want?
There is this false premise going around, much like the “Global Warming” hoax, that GM, Ford, and Chrysler were making cars that Americans didn’t want. Mostly the innuendo revolves around large SUV type vehicles. Nothing could be further from truth or reality.
What Americans really want is a consistent and affordable price for gasoline. This can only happen with a comprehensive energy policy which is not in the cards with this administration. They are so beholden to environmental crazies that to do what must be done, increase domestic drilling, increase domestic nuclear, increase domestic coal, and yes, increase renewable like wind and solar power, we will never get what Americans truly want.
It is not the cars it is the price of fuel. Just look around this weekend and take notice of the people driving pickup trucks pulling campers, boats, and off road ATV’s and motorcycles, SUV’s towing, campers, , boats, and off road ATV’s, and large vehicles full of Americans living free and enjoying life. When gas is at $3 or less Americans CHOOSE to drive larger vehicles that fit their life style. When gas starts inching toward $4 and $5 a gallon Americans consider smaller cars as an alternative.
Americans want small cars for two main reasons; gas prices and as a commuting car. Some buy them to feel good but that is a minority. Americans choose their vehicles to fit the life they live, and they choose BIG. The fear is that with our tax dollars our president will steal our freedom to choose a car we want by building one he thinks we need.
Is that freedom? Is that America? It will be…

They Fawn as we Fail…
The press is acting as if we are living in a banana republic and we have a benevolent dictator as our leader. Unfortunately that sentence seems to be gaining some credibility mostly because we have a press and an electorate that is paying too little attention to what is really happening to this great nation.
While the press is covering “date night”, North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela are all moving forward with nukes that threaten our allies and our existence but please tell me about Michelle’s black cocktail dress and the eco friendly Leer Jet.
The government is trampling the US Constitution by taking over private institutions with our tax dollars but please tell me more about the “eco friendly” restaurant (whatever that means) and the wine and martini’s they were drinking.
As the president jet sets around the country millions of people are watching their budgets because they have either lost a job or are about to lose it. I don’t care if he wants to take his wife out but he is no different from any other citizen and I would appreciate a little respect of the money he spends in these difficult economic times.
As the president waves to adoring crowds we have a Supreme Court nominee that has the most racist view of America and she is being hailed by the press for her “inspiring” story. Inspiring? Maybe if you are not on her target list of people that need to be discounted because they are white and male.
As the president stops traffic on the West Side highway in NY inconveniencing an entire city on a Saturday night, other businesses were losing customers due to the arrogance of this man and his need for adulation from crowds. Shame on New Yorker’s for acting like they were teenage girls at a Hollywood opening.
By all means let’s just not have the real debate on policy, spending, debt, and constitutional law breaking. Let’s just watch this adolescent we have in the White House ruin our country right under our noses. Shame on the press and shame on us…
