Pay attention


A government big enough to give you everything you want,
is strong enough to take everything you have.

I love my insurance!

I had to have $1500 of medical work done today...not to mention everything else I had done this year. But I'm NOT complaining. I'm eternally GRATEFUL...I COULD see a specialist without a waiting period...that I COULD have the tests...that I LIVE to tell about it. That the medical assistants were caring and treated me like a customer.

I'm also grateful about my deductible...yes that's right. I'm happy to pay it. I hoped I wouldn't have to, but this year I need it! Thank You Blue Cross Blue Shield. I enjoy giving you my business.

What will ObamaCare be like?

Today the lab techs were complaining because their urine specimen cups were on back order...I thought, "You ain't seen nothing yet!"

More Wisdom from Rush

"Opposing this health care bill ought to be the focus of everybody's energy, because if they get it, it will allow the government to regulate and control virtually every aspect of our lives. Not to mention raise everybody's taxes, which will further choke off any economic recovery. Your health care will cost more and be of lower quality." -Rush

From the Paragons of Equality

Is It Going to Be Race and Resentment — All the Time? [Victor Davis Hanson]

Michelle Obama is now weighing in on the Sotomayor nomination, and I think it will prove a serious political mistake, since she is reverting back to her "me too" campaign mode, in that she emphasizes both race and the anonymous "they" who are not nice or not sufficiently accommodating to the Other.
So Michelle Obama describes the fear that Sotomayor felt at Princeton — and its lasting effects to this day — and then compares it, of course, to Michelle's own ambiguous feelings toward the same Princeton campus (cf. Michelle's thesis for the details), that one is willing to put up with for the education and prestige it gave, but does not really like for the presence of apparently so many stuck-up, rich, preppy kids and their ubiquitous exclusive campus culture.
Three or four observations:
Many Americans were terrified about our first year in college. Some left farms for sophisticated urban environments and were lost; others were the first in their families to go to colleges, and so on. The Ivy League is by definition snobbish to all outside its traditional insular orbit, whether white, black, brown, country folk, foreigners, etc. But by predicating such common discomfort on their own race and gender, Ms. Obama and Judge Sotomayor deprecate a universal human experience, and instead claim it as something unique to identity politics;
Once more we see the schizophrenia of affirmative action, diversity, and identify politics — the university is both obliged to select students on the basis, at least in part, of race, class, and gender, but then almost immediately faulted for a climate that, in the eye of the recipient, stigmatizes those to whom it gives unusual consideration (what is the answer? — no race/class/gender consideration at all?; constant race/class/gender consideration that begins at admission and continues through graduation?; damned if you do, damned if you don't?);
And the remedy for feeling separate at elite colleges is apparently to reemphasize separatism based on identification with the tribe (e.g., Justice Sotomayor's senior thesis, like that once written by Ms. Obama, is predicated on ethnic and racial grievance).
All this should disturb Democrats because it fuels a general and growing perception (cf. Sotomayor's white-male references, Eric Holder's "cowards" remark, the serial Obama apologies abroad, the confusion about America being an important Muslim nation, etc.) among the public that something very strange is going on — a sort of generic anger being expressed at the highest levels of government that seems fueled by long past resentments against a perceived establishment that at times apparently is to roughly characterized as white, or white male, or rich, or Christian, or something other than poor, of color, or of female?
One would have thought with the presidency, or nomination to the Supreme Court, or with the office of Attorney General, or First Lady, such hurt feelings and old grievances might wane; but instead the resentment seems to be ubiquious, and growing, and the lectures will be with us for the next four years in almost every imaginable circumstance. If the administration is not careful, millions of Americans are going to begin feeling that they are caricatured pretty much as those once were in rural Pennsylvania.

Obamanation

Unemployment is at a 26 year high now, 9.4%

How's all that "Hope and Change" going for everyone?

The deficit is $2 Trillion,,,the National Debt is something like $11 Trillion now.

And the Liberal Media used to raise Hell when Reagan's deficit was $150 billion
or Bush's was $400 Billion.

Poor Ronald Reagan, spinning in his grave, like an airplane propeller !

"I assume that all of you Republicans who admonished me for saying I want Obama to fail are endorsing Sonia Sotomayor. I assume you are supporting Obama nationalizing Chrysler and GM, his $12 trillion in new budget deficits with massive tax increases to pay for it." -Rush Limbaugh

"I'll tell you, this whole news day is unbelievable. I won't be surprised if I wake up in a moment and this whole day has been a nightmare -- that Barack Obama did not say America is a Muslim nation and Lara Logan did not say that the Muslim world's hopes reside on his shoulders." -Rush

"The left, which owns the Democrat Party, uses race all the time against blacks and Hispanics and women with whom they disagree.

Barry Goldwater's "The Conscience of a Conservative", 1960

In this 1st instillation of a series of quotes from Barry Goldwater on "The Conscience of a Conservative"(1960), I would like to show how Conservative Principles can be applied to any time or problem.

"The Conservative approach is nothing more or less than an attempt to apply the wisdom and experience and the revealed truths of the the past to the problems of today. The challenge is not to find new or different truths, but to learn how to apply established truths to the problems of the contemporary world. My hope is that one more Conservative voice will be helpful in meeting this challenge." -From the Forward

Russia Warns US of Marxism!


Pravda has the story. (The Website is Terrible) ...so here's the article (my emphasis in black comments in red):

AMERICAN CAPITALISM GONE WITH A WHIMPER:

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple ("we the sheeple"), excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. (They WOULD know.) But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. (Ouch!)

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. 3 cheers for us homeschoolers! Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. (SO True.) Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" (No surprise our crediblity is dead here)were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America. (our dear Catholic Churches too!)

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. (You think so too? Time to start stock piling Dad)

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs (truly sad), in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). (Bingo!) Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride. (I'm listening...this is truly sick that Putin is the voice of reason)

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) (Yep) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive. (Yep)

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left. (Great!...but I wouldn't blame them)

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker. (Russia's looking more appealing... living there would almost be like fast forwarding through this nightmare they've already lived and seeing the sunshine again. Maybe learning Russian isn't too hard)

More Wisdom from Rush

Obama Claims He Won't Run GM, Then Explains How He Will Run GM
You're being mandated to sacrifice. Yes, your lives will be miserable, but your children's children will love their bubble cars. Obama owns what happens now.

"Barack Obama -- a man who's never run a private sector business, who's never been challenged to show a profit, a man who sneers at the concept of profit -- now lectures us on how well GM can do if it is managed well. If? Hey, bud, you're managing it. You're in charge!"

-Rush Limbaugh

Pamela's Note: Sacrifice??? For the children??? Why didn't we do that instead of the Bailouts? Our children would have been better off had they left the market alone! That goes for Bush too.

GM, Pelosi, and the Family


So I was thinking:
If the government is going to be controlling which cars are manufactured, and since Green is the new Red and our whole Mission now as a country is to "Fight" Global Warming Climate Change...
...could the following scenario actually happen???...
We are forced to drive smaller cars because of the "Carbon" (excuse me while I breathe). Yet, a family like mine which I anticipate will get even bigger, won't be able to drive in a small car.
In fact, just having more kids means producing more carbon. And after all isn't it my DUTY to protect HUMAN RIGHTS by FIGHTING Climate Change, according to Fancy Nancy?? I mean, if she doesn't care about China's Human Rights Failures and forced abortion laws, why would they hesitate to bring that here???
It will be a DARK DAY in this country when that happens. And I truly believe it's possible.
Did I forget to mention that National Health Care would make this even EASIER??? Ask Europe. Does it cost more to birth and raise the health of a child or abort it??

Tiller's Murder Deplorable


I was shocked to hear about the Murder of Tiller the Baby Killer. No matter how much I disapprove this man's actions, and no matter how terrible his actions were, he, like everyone else, did not deserve to be gunned down. He's had his days in court, and although I don't believe justice was served, THIS was not the way to handle it.

I am sorry for his spirit...for the children he now faces that he brutally murdered. But I only wish he would have lived longer to repent of his ways and help convert others to repent.
May God Have Mercy On His Soul

God can make good out of evil, and no doubt at least a few children will be saved without this man's practice. But...

Murdered? And at his Church?! Does this gunman not see that Tiller is now a Martyr for his cause? Nothing but empathy and sorrow will be given for this baby murderer in the media. And how much more will DHS and the Obama Administration accuse "Right-Wing Extremest" Prolifers of being a danger to the country??

This can't be good...Thanks for nothing Mr. Gunman.
