Destroying initiative the dems way

I've been thinking of the many consequences this health care bill will have upon not only the United States citizens, but on the foreign doctors as well who come here for the freedom of occupational focus. Think of all the hoops they have to jump for college or citizenship. I was thinking of how many were in the UNMC in Omaha, Nebraska, (University of Nebraska Medical Center), and the hard work they've had to achieve to get there. That hospital is one of the best in the country for cancer patients, my grandma is currently undergoing treatment there and is recovering. The staff is highly diversified, many doctors from foreign countries as well as many from around the country. Obama has even said we have the best health care in the world... and we also have the greatest doctors in about all areas of medicine. Why do we need to revamp the whole system? Even Obama has admitted it's greatness, yet even we admit there are flaws in the system. But it's nothing that can't be improved.... NOT CHANGED!

So after the many townhall meetings and attacks on regular citizens by the government, I've been wondering what the views are of the doctors who have moved here from a system similiar or worse than what's presented in the bill. Would they appreciate an entire change in how they work and a salary cap given by the government? Will this decrease the initiative of those amazing doctors coming from foreign countries or even greatly decrease the number wanting to work here? How about all our doctors? How would they like to be told to limit their salary despite spending over a $100,000 and working years to obtain their medical occupation? Will a bureacrat's decision tug on the heart strings of a physician knowing full well they could fix a problem, but was told to deny care due to government rationing, waiting lists, or an end-of-life consultation? What about surgeries on foreign patients who fly from all over the world, or cancer patients expecting treatment? Maybe in 6 to 12 months we'll get you in. If this passes the Democrats will have destroyed the initiative of patients here and around the world expecting treatment, young students expecting a career of helping others in the medical field, those already working in the medical field, and medical advancement in all areas. Well done dems... avoid those working in the field you want to change.

Ignorant liberals and their unwavering support for the downfall of health care





This is pure liberal ignorance.
                        
Liberals seem to forget that not only do we have the FREEDOM of speech in the country, but also we are trying to be heard because the government does NOT want to talk about this bill with any opposition but pass it as quickly as the stimulus. How many of our leaders have actually read the bill? Why have some of the townhall meetings shown citizens who oppose the bill to know more than those so called "representatives?" Do tell me liberals why you'd rather let our own countrymen die rather than those that threaten our country. You support this health care bill where the elderly will most likely be told no at a certain age and your unwavering constant support for abortion and having others pay for it. Young children will also have the opportunity to wait for care until given the go ahead from a government official. When has the government ever acted swiftly? You support a health care program that gives FREE care to illegals, which they will be exempt from paying, but FORCES you and me to pay for their illegal status. Why should I be forced to pay for someone who doesn't obey our laws, yet alone follow our constitution? Why don't you liberals look a cancer patient straight in the eye and tell them that government rationing is better for them. Why should the government tell me what treatments I will and won't receive when a doctor would be much better? Could you liberals handle the end-of-life plans listed on page 429 of the bill? And another thing liberals. What if a procedure that could get easily be obtained presently for a sick loved one or friend that could save their life and extend it for many years was rejected as a result of deteriorating health and the decision of a government employee saying no? And don't you find it extremely hypocritical of Obama and his political pals that they all get to keep their health care? And one thing you liberals never answered is... HOW WILL WE PAY FOR THIS??? Raising more taxes in a recession in which we are already paying for failed bailouts, romantic presidential dates, government takeovers of the car industry the banks, thrown in with the possibility of the expensive cap and trade bill on an unproven politically-driven "scientific" agenda?   Tell me why libs, would this work when the only successes Obama really has had has been campaigning and making buddies with dictators. Why do citizens from all over the world come here for major surgeries? Why do medical students and graduates who train from all over the world come over here to work in our health care system? And last but not least, explain why the government deems those that have read and understood the bill are a threat? Are they as bad as those "right wing extemists" that peacefully protested higher taxes and taxation without representation? What's happening to you liberals? You are truly coming unglued.

I thought....

Ok, after a great wedding and honeymoon I expected to see what the liberals have been voting and supporting take effect. I thought by the time I got back Obama would have United the world and rid the earth of racism when in fact promoting it. I thought Unemployment would be at zero when somehow it's over 9%. I thought Kim Jong Ill would get together with the UN and Obama and say he's sorry instead of laughing in their faces. I thought Democracy and capitalism would be wiped off the map forever due to it's evil successes of creating the greatest country in the world. I'd thought we'd all join hands as we happily kill partially birthed babies and let old people die without medicine. I thought we'd have a new joyous health care system where I could wait in line bleeding to get to a doctor. I thought we were to have a constitutional convention to Change America and it's constitution. I thought we would take all Guns away so criminals can sneak them in through the black market and rob and kill easier while the government terrorizes it's citizens into complete fear.  I thought Obama would abolish Bush's tax cuts and create taxes to kill large businesses and small business while dropping the class rate to a lower class all around. I thought we could spend more money the country does not have to pay of more constituents while raising ACORN up on high. I thought we can attack anything Christian while raising other religions up to look good.  I thought we could let the government run more than just the banks and car industry. I thought we can spend millions on the Obama date nights. I thought we can give more secrets of our previous administration for political gain and forget about safety. I thought our government could continue to call it's own citizens terrorists over the real extremists in the middle east. I thought liberals were actually human....

Some on this list is happening, others they are trying to make happen. Maybe my wife and I should go back into another honeymoon.

Not so sure




This is my last post for a little while. My wedding is tomorrow and a honeymoon following this Sunday. Someone needs to babysit the government while I'm away.

Senate votes to stop production of F-22 plane

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate on Tuesday voted to stop production of the F-22 fighter plane, handing President Barack Obama a victory as he tries to rein in defense spending.

The Senate voted 58 to 40 to strip $1.75 billion for the Lockheed Martin Corp-built planes from a $680 billion defense bill, overriding the objections of lawmakers seeking to protect manufacturing jobs in the midst of a deep recession.

The Senate's vote does not necessarily kill the program as the House of Representatives included funding for the state-of-the-art fighter in its bill, which sets military spending priorities. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090721/ts_nm/us_usa_congress_defense_1



I'm wondering the future of aviation giants such as Lockheed Martin or Boeing. Our government is cutting down on missiles, aircraft, the defense of this great nation. Our president is a naive ideological moron willing to put his citizens in harms way to look good to others. Our defense is expensive, but our president seems very willing to spend lots of money in other areas where the money will most likely fail, or already has.

Dennis Miller onHarry Reid and Global Warming.




For those of you who don't listen to or know Dennis Miller, he is an ex-lib ever since he saw how Bush was treated by the media, and the left. He is very respectful towards our military and is a very witty comedian.

The fat hairy sasquatch called Michael Moore makes another movie.

Michael Moore will be back and loved by the communist, corporation- hating -hippies with another movie coming out this October called Capitalism, a Love Affair. The insane-mental escaped patient decided that this mess we're in is from Capitalism, and would rather have a "wonderful" communistic rule as with Cuba. It would be truly amazing to believe this gargantuan missing link who dropped out of college to know the reasons why there was a global collapse. This is also a hairy brontosaurus who doesn't believe we're in a terrorist threat, and who hates the 2nd amendment, but is a card carrying NRA member saying, "that he joined so as to be elected its president and then dismantle the organization." Apparently this hairy whale knows America's economic woes and will save us all from evil corporations and capitalism. The hairy hippo also thought that the movie would be a nice romantic date. Honestly, I'd rather play in traffic than see one of his movies. I'd rather bathe in blood and jump in shark infested waters than even hear that hairy blimps name. Yeah, I make fun of him being hairy and fat, but I'm sure this man has his own gravitational pull. If I threw a tomato at him it'd be caught and would start floating around him as the earth around the sun. The man's so hairy he probably shaves with a lawnmower. And I bet he smells so bad he could make a garbage bin seem like a flowery meadow full of lilacs on a nice rainy spring morning. The man fell of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down before rolling and bringing down the rest of the forest, causing an earthquake while slightly moving earth's orbit. The ape's clothes style is like waking up a frozen caveman and taking him to Wal-Mart. And I have no doubt that huge abominable snowman eats as much as the entire continent of Africa. I bet when he goes to the zoo the people throw him peanuts.  If he'd float in the ocean someone would try to claim him as a new island. He probably exhales as much CO2 as does a volcano erupting. This man does not respect America and I don't respect him, as you can plainly see. I hope movie theaters reject this movie and only gets played in some backwater movie theater next to a toxic waste dump.

Greenpeace activists scale Mt. Rushmore get arrested!

CHICAGO (AFP) – Greenpeace activists were arrested Wednesday for scaling Mount Rushmore and hanging a banner next to the carved face of Abraham Lincoln urging President Barack Obama to get tough on climate change.

A video posted on the environmental group's website showed the massive banner hanging on the South Dakota mountain face.

Its message -- "America honors leaders not politicians: Stop Global Warming" and an unfinished portrait of Obama -- was barely visible as it was whipped by wind.

"Doing what it takes to solve global warming demands real political courage," Greenpeace USA deputy campaigns director Carroll Muffett said in a statement.

"If President Obama intends to earn a place among this country's true leaders, he needs to show that courage, and base his actions on the scientific reality rather than political convenience."

The protest comes as Obama meets with other G8 leaders in Italy.

G8 leaders agreed to bear the brunt of steep global cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, saying developed countries should reduce their pollution by 80 percent by 2050, a summit declaration said.

Greenpeace said the 11 climbers "took special care not to damage the monument, using existing anchors placed by the National Park Service for periodic cleaning."

Park officials said they were still investigating whether the iconic monument -- a restricted area which is closely monitored -- suffered damage.

"Early this morning visitors saw these individuals on the mountain," said Amy Bracewell, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service.

"They got up next to Abraham Lincoln and unfurled the large banner," she told AFP.

"As soon as our people were mobilized we took down the banner and apprehended them and got them safely down the mountain."

Government web sites attacked: North Korea expected

I have just read that a widespread computer attack that began on July 4th knocked out the Web sites of the Treasury Department, The Secret Service, the Federal Trade Commission, and the transportation Department, as well as the Washington Post. South Korean Government sites were also the target of these internet attacks. The US officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter. but believed North Korea, NK sympathizers, or pro-Pyongyang forces were the culprit.  According to Ben Rushlo, director of internet technologies at Keynote systems, the Transportation web site was 100% down for two days so that no internet user could get through it. Banking sites in South Korea were paralyzed on Tuesday and many personal computers were infected with a virus ordering them to visit a major official Web site in South Korea and the U.S at the same time. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090708/ap_on_go_ot/us_us_cyber_attack

Brainwashed college kids



These were taken by a conservative kid who goes to liberal college rallies and asks simple questions. You'll see a common theme of ignorance and emotion.

nuclear disarmament

President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a preliminary agreement Monday to reduce the world's two largest nuclear stockpiles by as much as a third, down to the lowest levels of any U.S.-Russia accord, and counter what Obama called "a sense of drift" in the countries' relations. Disarmament.

Anybody can agree that a nuclear war would result in hell on earth and that we do not whatsoever want terrorists or an insane leader to obtain or build a nuclear missile, but there's also the reality of how much others hate the US. Obama thinks by showing an example that others may lead. In his socialistic euphoric utopia others will follow, nations will hold hands and sing, the evil corporations will be defeated, and socialism will reign supreme, overriding democracy. It seems reality tells a different tale. History has shown leading by example in areas as arms, politics hasn't had a great track record. Let's take Chicago's gun laws. Would gun control really help homicides and accidents? Maybe that was their ideal, but look at the statistics, it has the opposite effect. Nuclear disarmament is on a much larger scale, and with more psychos. Would Iran, North Korea, or any terrorist faction really care if we had less nukes? NO! They'd see more opportunities to strike. Whether this improves relations with Russia avoids the harsh realities that I see taking place in the future.

Cap and Tax

Waxmen and Markey... Markey and Waxmen... We could attribute these two, if this bill is passed, to the potential downfall of a great country. I was surfing the internet for sites and have found many that disagreed with cap and fail. Another reason why Obama  wants to control the net. So this new tax bill will limit carbon emissions, huh? Most likely based off of Al Gore's ever mysterious changing theory, global warming, cooling, climate change, or something to that effect. I find it hilarious that they use that picture of a polar bear on ice, when it's photographer says it had nothing to do with global warming. But we now have political science running our government. In my very first post here I blogged about global warming, and many of us swing back to it, to continue to refute it's claims as more scientists and countries speak out against its' stupidity. Like I've said before, those who want a grant for their scientific studies throw in global warming for a sure payment. If another scientist and I were studying something of the same effect, such as warmth on a Twinkie, I could throw global warming as a sure bet that I'd receive the grant that we were competing for. And since when has global warming been a "set science." It hasn't even been proven, yet isn't science supposed to be set on truth, rather than on emotion? So this bill is apparently supposed to save the earth from a certain doom we humans are "causing." Why don't the global warming enthusiasts go to the sun and tell it to cool off a little, (even though we've been in a cooling trend).  Yet folks at such places like the Heritage Foundation have found this is extremely flawed and could cause gas and energy prices to spike up to an additional $3000 per year. And this is based off something that isn't happening.

Why don't we tax random things as viable as global warming, such as a leprechaun tax on their gold they pile under rainbows, or how about the Easter Bunny? Is his/her egg factory uninsured, does he/she have immigrant workers, or a patent on Easter eggs? Does Santa need a passport or does he have a green card? What about Alien abductions? That doesn't quite fit under Obama's health care. Does bigfoot receive subsidies for all the memorabilia launched in the northwest? Of those who support this bill lack any scientific knowledge whatsoever of carbon and carbon producers. Their scientific "factual" thoughts have been replaced with emotional stupidity.  All Al Gore wanted was attention and has done as much as possible to get back into the spotlight, and double his worth. Easy money from scared suckers.
