Indian Giver


Indian giver is a North American English expression used to describe a person who gives a gift (literal or figurative) and later wants it back, or something equivalent in return.

Remember those tax rebates you received last Spring from the President? Well he wants them back.

Millions will have to repay part of tax credit

WASHINGTON — More than 15 million taxpayers could unexpectedly owe taxes when they file their federal returns next spring because the government was too generous with their new Making Work Pay tax credit.

Taxpayers are at risk if they have more than one job, are married and both spouses work, or receive Social Security benefits while also earning taxable wages, according to a report Monday by the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration. Continue reading...

Yes, it's time to spin the wheel again...

Obama Care and Cap and Trade are nothing more than mechanisms to intrude into the lives of every American Citizen. The Left can deny the Nanny State all it wants but every day there is another story uncovered about how corrupt and dangerous this philosophy is...

If you heard Rush Limbaugh's show yesterday, you heard about the Green Shirt Brigade in Cleveland that will be delivering two, Government approved, compact fluorescent light bulbs to utility customers of First Energy. The bulbs are the same Chinese made light bulbs that you can buy at your local Hardware Store for less than the $3.50 each that the Utility Company is paying for them. This is a direct result of the Ohio Legislature's passage of a law that compels the Utility Companies to reduce their customers energy usage by 22%. Can you say Eco-Nut, Cap and Tax?

First Energy Customers can't choose not to receive the light bulbs. They will be placed on every customer's door in a bag with a brochure, More than 100 Ways to Improve Your Electric Bill. They will appear to be free. What the brochure doesn't tell you is that the customer will have a 60 cent per month "payment" added to their electric bill for the next two years. That's $21.60 for two $3.50 light bulbs.

Gotta pay for those newly created jobs; the Green Shirts. Isn't Government wonderful? It's creating jobs, reducing energy cost and creating revenue streams for Business Partners all while tightening it's control of the little people.

But it doesn't end there because the customer will be saving energy by using the light bulbs and the Utility will be loosing revenue because of their customer's eco-responsibility, each customer will be assessed a "small" fee to offset the Utility's losses. Ah yes, our Government at work to screw the People and help the Utility get away with legal thievery so they don't loose revenue.

This is all about government intrusion into American lives and governmental protection of the Big Money Utility Companies by grating them the ability to issue fees to offset losses due to conservation. This is Statism, the unholy blending of Fascism + Government and Big Business! The Government gets more power, the Utility get more revenue. The People get less freedom and who pays? You guessed it, the people.

But wait! You know it won't be long before this wonderful money saving "benefit" will be coming to an energy provider near you. Nanny State Nonsense!

What do Ronald Reagan, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin have in common?

They are hated by the European and American Left...
The new wave of female firebrands striking fear into liberal America...
Right-wing radicals are already pinning presidential ambitions on a mother-of-five from Minnesota who calls herself a 'fool for Christ' and condemns Obama as a socialist at the head of a gangster regime...
This from Paul Harris in the UK's Observer
I love the fear I see in "Leftist Radical" writers like Paul Harris. It seems they will NEVER understand American women or Americans in general. On the Cusp of the release of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" book comes this piece in the UK Guardian's Observer yesterday attacking Republican Representative Michele Bachmann as being a Firebrand as well as besmirching all Conservate Republican Women who dare to speak out againt the onslaught of Socialism in America.

The term a "Fool for Christ" is used as a pejorative being used to slam Bachman as if that description of her is something to be ashamed of. It is true that not everyone in America is a believer in Christ but fully 75% of Americans "self-identify as Christians according to the American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) done in 2001. Atheism is on the rise too but more than 1/5th of Atheists in the survey said they believed in God. What an Oxymoron.

Religion, like everything else, is polarizing, with the faithful more willing to call themselves "born again" and doubters more willing to call themselves unbelievers or atheists. George W. Bush may have been a factor: Many of the unbelievers are less worried about religion per se as about the fusion of religion and political power in the form of the new right. A fifth of the "atheists" in a recent Pew Survey said that they believed in God, a semantic confusion rich in meaning. (WSJ)
Women in the Conservative Movement, i.e.Bachmann, Palin, Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter are labled as Radical. In what world do Liberals live. These are women concerned with the actual things that are happening to our Country. The rush to Statism (the blending of Big Money and Big Government) and Socialism is real and extremely dangerous to our way of life.
All these women express a mood of conservative discontent that is becoming increasingly vocal and, some experts warn, extreme according to the Observer Article.

The politics espoused by Bachmann, Palin and others on the far right of the conservative movement warn darkly of Obama's intentions. They paint a picture of an America that is under threat from its own president. Bachmann has spoken of the possibility of the White House setting up "re-education camps" for America's youth. Palin once accused Obama of "palling around" with terrorists.
Since when has warning your Countrymen and Women about real dangers to our Republic been radical? According to the British, Paul Revere was a radical. We sit on the other side of the pond. Revere is a hero of our Revolution to free ourselves from a tyrannical British King. Now we must fight to save the Republic once more. But we are fighting with words and ideas. It scares the left silly that even Independents and Conservative Democrats are responding to these ideas.

Capitalism is not a dirty word. It is the Engine that keeps America running when allowed to do so. Freedom of the individual is paramount to our way of life. There are so many things threatening our individual Freedoms right now that most people can't keep up. One Day's news can be daunting to one person so we are forming groups to disseminate and understand the issues. Why is this threatening to the Left. They've been doing it for years.

We've been called Domestic Terrorist, Tea "Baggers" (a disgusting term for a Gay sex act), Unamerican, and they say we are indulging in "civic vigilantism". We've been called thugs, and the Angry Mob, the Brooks Brothers Brigade, Nazi's by the Speaker of the House (America's House which belongs to ALL American Citizens), and we are accused of being paid. First it was Big Business paying us and now it's the evil Insurance Companies. WELL, WHERE"S MY CHECK!

Meanwhile groups like ACORN and Code Pink are being funded to the tune of Billions of American taxpayer monies and generous Left Wing Philanthropists like George Soros. Bank sit-ins, invasion of the AIG Executive's homes by ACORN. Lewd, crude behavior by Code Pink in front of U.S. Marine Recruiting Offices and the actual banning of Recruiters in Berkley, CA.


They are the pillars of civility.

These People keep telling us our numbers are shrinking. The Tea Party Movement is Dying. We know they are wearing blinders, hoping against hope that it's true. Alas, they are wrong. The Tea Parties and Protests may indeed have fewer attendees but we as Tea Party Patriots know this just isn't so. I, myself, took my Tea Party activism and turned it into this Blog, a Tea Party Patriot, a Campaign Manager for Dan Gilyeat, a U.S. Congressional candidate for the Republican Party in Kansas District 3. We will defeat Dennis Moore next year!

Our Campaign is drawing Conservatives, Independents, Democrats, Black, White and Hispanics. We recently went to the Republican Sunflower Club meeting where they were expecting 40 or so people at a local restaurant. They had over 90 people who came to hear Secretary of State Candidate Kris Kobach and State Senator Mary Philcher Cook speak about the Constitution and State Sovereignty.

The women in the Conservative Movement aren't disappearing. Neither are the men. We are working hard to change the Republican Party. We are going to drag it back to it's roots, kicking and screaming if necessary. The Conservative Movement is growing and we will take no prisoners. We'll invite Conservatives of all Political Parties to join us for the goal of keeping our Country Free.

The left can say whatever it wants to about this movement. They do so because they thought they had it in the "bag". They thought they had defeated Reagan. How odd it was to hear them compare themselves to such a man as Obama has done...
"Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not, and a way that Bill Clinton did not,...We want clarity, we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship
What a pity the President doesn't really believe in Ronald Reagan's philosophy.

Europe and American Leftist are underestimating women like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. All I can say to them is Palin/Bachmann 2012 or maybe Bachmann/Palin 2012. Take your choice.

The 3rd District's Forgotten Men....

It seem like Steve Rose, who was in the 3rd District U.S. House race for a nanosecond, is still trying to be a player in the election. His paper, in an October 8th article by Chuck Kurtz, mentions only Patricia Lightner as a candidate for the 3rd District seat currently held by Dennis Moore. Seems that Chuck forgot [sic] to mention the 3 other viable candidates who happen to be men. Nice fact checking Steve.

The article left out SSgt. Daniel Gilyeat, John Rysavy and Thomas Scherer who are all announced candidates. It seems because Lightner is the only candidate advertising, then according to the Sun Newspapers, she is the only candidate. The article also mentions possible candidates former State Sen. Nick Jordan, who lost to Moore in 2008; State Rep. Pat Colloton, R-Leawood; and State Rep. Kevin Yoder, R-Overland Park none of whom say they are even considering a run at this time.

Dan Gilyeat made his own headlines this week on Resisnet.com and American Liberty Republic's blog when a Kansas City, KS, Hispanic Leader, as yet unnamed, told a reporter that he had a conversation which he recorded with Congressman Dennis Moore in which Moore reportedly said "he had $7 million dollars for his campaign" and that "he could not believe that a naturalized citizen could support 'White Trash' over him [Moore.]"

Is Gilyeat a c
andidate that Moore is afraid of? Gilyeat certainly isn't white trash. He is a Father of seven and Husband. He is an Iraq War Veteran and a wounded Marine who lost a leg on his second tour of duty in Iraq. He is a respected member of his community who works tirelessly for Wounded Warrior Foundations, counsels wounded vets and their families about the difficulties and knowledge of returning to a normal productive life after catastrophic injuries.

John Rysavy is a respected Businessman, a former North Dakota Air National Gaurdsman, works tirelessly for his church and community. He is a Husband and the Father of six.




Thomas Scherer is a single father and community activist and has been involved in previous elections as a candidate.




A recent 3rd District Republican Newsletter lists all registered Candidates, Dan Gilyeat, Patricia Lihtner, John R
ysavy and Thomas Scherer and has a biography of each one. I think it's about time someone called out Sun Publications for it's shoddy reporting. The voters of the 3rd District need to have all the information on candidates and issues at their disposal and not just Steve Roses' wishful thinking.

Obama's Henchwoman...

Sheriff Joe gets spanked...again!

Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano is telling Sheriff Joe Arpaio to stop arresting illegals. Could this be something left over from Ms. Napolitano's feud with the good sheriff when she was the Governor of Arizona?

The sheriff’s office is being investigated by the Department of Justice and other Federal agencies on accusations of racial profiling during the operation of Sheriff Joe's crime suppression operations which the Justice Department is calling racial profiling.

Sheriff Arpaio says "It's all Politics".

In one of his most famous dust-ups with the Government, Arpaio set up a tent city as an extension of the Maricopa County Jail. It was the Sheriff's solution for over-crowding without having to build a new jail. He saved taxpayers over $70m with that action. The prisoners complained about the inhumane conditions of excessive heat inside the tents to which Arpaio replied: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents and they didn't commit any crimes!, so shut your mouths!"

In an often e-mailed piece from the Associated press Arpaio has racked up some pretty impressive statistics:

He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.

He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.

When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.

He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."

He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.

When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.

Makes one wonder why Secretary Napolitano doesn't like the good Sheriff's policies. Maybe [sic] she's playing for the other side of the Law. Homeland Security and the Obama Administration are set to strip Joe Arpaio of his main tool for dealing with illegal immigration. Rule 287g which allows for illegals to be detained for traffic violations. Tieing the hands of the good Sheriff seems to be the Democrats favorite sport in Arizona.

Hopefully, Sheriff Joe will find away around this restriction too. Obama and Henchwoman Napolitano are doing their best to tie the good Sheriff's hands. Seems they are more concerned for the illegals than they are for the American people.

I say we should support Sheriff Joe Arpaio and other's like him. This Country would definitely be a better place if this brand of justice was practiced more often. You go Joe!

We must stop this insanity before we loose America...



We know this is an ad for a website but it is also a stark reminder of what this Country stands to loose if we don't reign in spending. Health Care with the Public Option will drive the final stake through the heart of this Republic.

We need to work harder than ever to stop this madness. There are many other ways to deal with this problem that don't involve institutionation of Health Care.

Gamelie Foundation is Scary and is a Social Justice [sic] Communist Group.

By now, many of you have heard on Glenn Beck's radio show of this video that debuted on Breitbart TV this morning. These are people mixing traditional Bible theology with "Obama" worship. It is sick and it is dangerous, as this original video shows. Do we need an Institution to send these people to, to be deprogrammed....?

This is the original video on the Gamelie Foundation YouTube site and they are saying in the chant "Hear Our Cry Obama"...

There is a definite under-culture in this country that is trying to define Obama as a Savior. While it is historic that Obama is the first person-of-color to hold the Oval Office, he is no God. A new book about to be released about the Obama's, Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage, by Christopher Andersen, an Unauthorized Biographer, seems to hint that Obama may in deed be mortal.
The book claims that Barack and Michelle came close to splitting up. She apparently was bitter about her husband devoting too much time to his political ambitions and not enough to his family. She hated his chain-smoking and snoring, and he complained to friends that his wife was unreasonable.
It also supports a theroy by noted Author and Video Producer, Jack Cashill, that Bill Ayers is the true author of Dreams From My Father, Obama's poetic biography. A good review of Cashill's articles from last year should convince most truth seekers that Obama could not have produced that memoir.

How many people do you know who can write about the exact same experience, such as noticing the Hudson River flows both ways and explains to a bystander that it is because of the tides. Both Ayer's and Obama write about the same incident. Odd.

Anyway, the Gamelie Foundation, mentioned in this video is real. They are part of an international group that says they are "Training Obama"...
What Barack learned in his time organizing in Chicago, was to not let others define him but to define himself. This was the single most important lesson Barack learned as an organizer. It may be the most important lesson that any of us ever learn. It is the lesson which enabled him to be elected President. The power of Barack’s ability to define himself has been so great that in the process he has redefined America for Americans. And he has redefined America for the rest of the world.
All this Redefining and Remaking are straight out of the Communist Manifesto and that's what Obama intends to do. Remake America. He has told us so, many times in the last two years...

Wake Up Redux...

These are the words to the mind dead song being sung in yesterday's memo on the second video in that post. Judge for yourself whether it is appropriate to force children to learn and sing that song. The people behind this movement are Big "C" Communist and they are inserting their ideas and philosophy into school curriculum across this Country.

This song was written by Charisse Carney-Nunes, who is the Senior Vice-President of the Jamestown Project. This is a Far-Left think tank for "people of color".

Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said all should lend a hand to make the country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today, equal work means equal pay.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said take a stand, make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama Yeah!
Barack Hussein Obama …Hello Mr. President,
We honor you today For all your great accomplishments,
we all do say hooray Hooray,
Mr. President you are No. 1 The first black American to lead this nation


When you start to make the connections of who's who in the Jamestown Project you start to see the truth that lies just under the surface of Black Theology Politics. It's all about "winning" hearts and minds" of youth. People like Charisse Carney-Nunes, Cornel West and Bakari Kitwana,are involved in this group.

Bakari Kitwana has an article posted on the Huffington Post titled "New Muslim Cool" Forges Path for New America.

MS. Carney-Nunes and Mr. Kitwana are promoting the idea that America needs to "Make Democracy Real". This agenda is enslaving thousands of young blacks and Latinos in Social Justice and Collectivist ideology. Now they are turning to the school systems to carry their messages of Communism to a wider audience, the Public School System.

Scary stuff.

Americans Need to Wake Up...NOW!

It seems that almost half of America is still asleep after the coup that took place last fall. The election of "the One" is now permeating even pre-schools and kindergartens. The indoctrination of our children has begun. I guess this makes me sound like a right-wing nutcase. So be it. But someone has to speak out and speak out loudly and boldly...



Our children are being taught to worship President Obama. This is not speculation. This is not conjecture. I don't believe this is an organized program but I could be wrong. The NEA Teachers Union doesn't promote this curriculum but some of it's members do. If this is just happening in one school then it is an easy fix...fire the Teacher. But we must be vigilant and make sure this kind of brain washing is not entering our local school system as I fear it has started to do..



You remember last fall before the election we had this group of young black men in an Academy School in Kansas City, Missouri...



These may be isolated incidents but the new lesson plans in most classrooms are already indoctrinating our children with radical ideas. They are taught that climate change is settled science. It isn't. They are being taught that homosexuality is a normal way of life. It isn't. Children having two Mommies or two Daddies is not normal and shouldn't be promoted in a public school. This is an agenda being pushed by the Far-Left.

In some states the Teachers Unions are promoting lesson plans for Home Schoolers and Day Care Workers to promote the far left agenda about the Gay lifestyle. They are threatening Private Religious Schools with lawsuits or loss of licenses if they don't teach "diversity".

Parents have a right to know what propaganda is being pushed at their children. These thoughts are not out of prejudice but out of concern for our children's futures. Parents are more and more being left out of the child rearing equation. Parents must become involved with their child's education.

Too many young people, who are undereducated themselves, never engage in their child's education out of fear of being discovered. They still need to be educated too. They leave teaching social skills to the Teachers and the Schools. They are giving up their child's heart, mind and soul to the school system. A System that has Agendas and teaches things that parents may not want their child to learn at a young age.

This propaganda started before Obama became President and it captured the youth of America just as it was designed to do. These methods have been known for decades. These are Saul Alinsky's and Karl Marx's ideas. Finally, if this doesn't scare you. If you don't believe that our young people are being brainwashed then listen to the songs teens and young people heard last year before the election.



If this doesn't scare your and enrage you and move you to action...then nothing I can say will. I pray that America will wake up soon...if I am still allowed to pray.

Has the term "the Left" become code for Black?

I don't like writing about racism. I will admit, it makes me self-conscious because I am a white women. But I've been on this earth long enough to know that the election of Barak Obama has been very bad for race relations. It has been bad on a number of fronts but I have to ask myself; "What percentage of Black Americans have embraced Obama's views that are Socialistic at best but are even closer to Communism?"

It would appear that the number is small but people with ideas that are Anti-American are reaching very high into our Federal Government and the Obama Administration. I know that the common, everyday, Black America still loves their Country and it's Constitution, right? I am becoming convinced I may be wrong...



School security officer Wesley Cheeks, Jr. is a man who optimizes the undercurrent that we are seeing evidenced in this his utterance about this not being America anymore: "It ain't no more, OK!" This is truly frightening. Free Speech is not legal on School property? This is unconstitutional on many levels but it has been tolerated in cases banning Religious Speech in Schools. The very mention of God in schools sends the Left into a tizzy so this shouldn't come as a surprise.

More and more Black Politicians are embracing Communism as evidenced by the Congressional Black Caucus's recent trip to Cuba. They came back praising Castro and the Cuban health care system. Anyone who has ever studied history, or is of an age who lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, knows that Castro is an avowed enemy of the United States. Ask any Cuban refugee about the health care in Cuba and you will get a truer picture of what it means to be a third world Country.

And yet, this is what Black Legislators think about it. Listen to Rep. Maxine Waters....



I understand the pride that Black Americans feel when they see a man who is the same color as they are, reaching the highest office in the Land. But I though that Barak had a white Mother? That makes him only half-black. But that isn't the point.

It's not his color, his race, that offends me. It's his political leanings, some only suspected, some know, that won't allow me trust his motives. He is closer to the Communist ideology than I am comfortable with and proposals in Congress want to give him unprecedented power over every facet of American life. Spreading the wealth from people who produce wealth to give it to people who produce nothing but more children to use even more resources is his desire. If you have a society that depends on the Government for every need then you don't have freedom.

We are careening down a path to Fascism at an alarming. Big Business and Government are melding for the enrichment of an unknown entity who seem to be pulling the strings and are using racism as a defense against any criticism. Union Leaders and General Electrics' CEO sit on the board of the Federal Reserve. They don't want the books of the Fed opened. They American people have the right to know how the Fed is spending it's money.

Men and Women of African-American heritage are being given positions in board rooms and Government positions the will help write regulations that will affect every American. People with connection with the TIDES Foundation and Apollo Foundation are writing the legislation on Cap and Trade and Health Care. These two organizations are left leaning facilitators that are helping Obama remake America.
Established in 1976 by California-based activist Drummond Pike, the Tides Foundation was set up as a public charity that receives money from donors and then funnels it to the recipients of their choice. Because many of these recipient groups are quite radical, the donors often prefer not to have their names publicly linked with the donees. By letting the Tides Foundation, in effect, "launder" the money for them and pass it along to the intended beneficiaries, donors can avoid leaving a "paper trail." Such contributions are called "donor-advised," or donor-directed, funds.

Through this legal loophole, nonprofit entities can also create for-profit organizations and then funnel money to them through Tides -- thereby circumventing the laws that bar nonprofits from directly funding their own for-profit enterprises. Pew Charitable Trusts, for instance, set up three for-profit media companies and then proceeded to fund them via donor-advised contributions to Tides, which (for an 8 percent management fee) in turn sent the money to the media companies.
Source: DiscovertheNetworks.org. Continue reading...
The Apollo Alliance is a radical environmental leftist organization.
A project of the Tides Center, the Apollo Alliance (AA) claims to have been "launched in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy to catalyze a clean energy revolution in America." AA says that in late 2007 it "spun off from its founding organizations, Campaign for America's Future and Center for Wisconsin Strategy, formed its own Board of Directors, and expanded its staff and program to better meet the critical challenge of promoting clean energy and good jobs."

The watchdog website UndueInfluence.com describes AA as a coalition composed of "[t]rue believers with an absolute belief that go
vernment is the solution to all social and economic problems, allied with labor unions, subsidy-seeking companies and global warming / weather control advocates."
These Foundations are involved in social justice programs which translate to putting People of Color into positions of power. There is nothing wrong with deserving people being promoted to Board of Directorships or Managers except when their sole purpose in life is to remake America into a Socialist or Communist country.

Van Jones, an avowed Communist is the Green Jobs Czar in Obama's White House. He was a co-founder of the Apollo Alliance. When you click on the interactive map at muckety.com for Gerald Hudson you get this:The number of Law Firms, Oil Companies, and Medical companies you get by clicking on Redefining America and SEIU are incredible. You can begin to see how intertwined these organizations and the programs being proposed by the Obama Administration are. The Apollo Aliance and the SEIU helped craft the legislation. You can begin to see how these complex documents delivered to (Con)gress to be voted on and passed as soon as possible are tainted. Documents with thousands of pages of legal jargon that our Congress People just don't have time to read and want to pass into law at the earliest possible date.

This is a new kind of Racism. Black Men and Women are getting ahead in the Obama Administration. The only question is will it cost America it's future as a Free Republic. Hope and Change were great themes from Obama's presidential campaign. They were also concurrent themes from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals". The Obama Hope and Change that the "people who look like him" thought would free them from their misery are in for a big shock. They will probably think that the white half of Obama's Hope and Change has enslaved them once again.

The Collective Thinkers, Think Wrong!

I've been getting a bit of traffic to my website from the "great thinkers" of the left, telling me that my views are wrong and I'm stupid. How skewed their views are. Don't they realize that they are exercising one of their First Amendment rights, just as I am. Free Speech.

Our Constitution, founded on the principles of really enlightened men should be studied by every American citizen. It was written by men who believed in individual rights and not in the collective mentality that exists in the Left and Far Left in this country, at this time. The left has elite, pompous, high-sounding people who believe they and only they have the answers for society and all it's ills.

That is their problem. Belief that society is more important than the individual. That is how the arguments for and against the health care proposals are being postulated. The rights of the individual verses the collective. The supporters of the current health care legislation want a universal system, that covers everyone, just a little. They believe it is better to get limited, universal health care than to stay with a system that looks at a patient as an individual with needs for care that are unique to each human being.

America, is at it's core, is a generous Nation. It provides more opportunity and freedom to it's citizens than anywhere else in the world. Why do you think all those "Illegals" come here? American society has it's faults just like any living entity. Creating a group of citizens who believe they are entitled to be supported, without any effort on their part, is part of what's wrong with this health care debate.

I believe, basic health care should be afforded to every legal citizen but I don't believe the Government is the necessary purveyor of those services. The private sector can always provide services cheaper through competition. But Governments, Local, State and Federal always enact laws that are contrary to the free markets, limiting services with undue regulation and driving up prices for care.

The Private Sector has it's abuses for providing health care too. Where the laws need to be changed would be to require insurance companies to drop pre-existing condition clauses from their policies. Make coverage portable so that laid off workers could receive medical benefits along with their Unemployment. Local Governments could provide temporary coverage until other employment is found. Requiring every person in the country to be invested in their coverage so that health care doesn't become an entitlement.

Most of us, polls show as high as 80% of us, like our current health care, whether we receive it through private policies, medicare, medicaid, or co-ops. The debatable, 45% figure, the current Administration is using to drive its argument is a false number. No matter who runs health care, coverage should only be for legal U.S. citizens and people who pay a portion of their income for their coverage. If it's not broke don't destroy it.

Torte reform has to be included in any serious debate about health care costs. Doctors have to run extra medical tests rather than using their own expertise, to diagnose, to protect themselves from excessive abuse of class action law suits and mal-practice suits brought at the drop of a hat because of the mistaken belief that doctors can fix any medical problem. Insurance premiums for mal-practice needs to be brought down. They must be kept reasonable because we loose good Doctors every day because they can't afford their mal-practice premiums.

Costs can be brought down by competition in the private sector rather than the government limiting care, which is rationing. There are provisions in the bills now circulating in Congress and the Senate that require Government Boards to decide what kind of care you can receive, they aren't called "Death Panels" but their effect is the same.

Anytime a society places a value on an individual to limit what care or procedure they will be able to receive then that society is evil. Current provisions being proposed would prevent individuals from seeking additional care if the Government deemed their care unnecessary.

There are all kinds of imaginative programs and ideas for providing health care floating around this debate and that's the way it should be, a debate! Not just one side, the "I WON" side, shoving it's "progressive" ideas down the throats of the American people.

Run pilot programs on a small scale to determine which programs will work and which won't. The Government could provide a catastrophic insurance policy to provide for devastating illnesses much like flood insurance to help bring down the cost of private insurance. The needs of the people of one state are different than the needs of another state. Again, I say, "One size does not fit all".

I pray that sanity will erupt in the governing bodies of this free nation. Freedom and individual rights should be the driving force behind the policies that govern a free nation. We should aspire to the best possible care for our citizens and not a policy that "levels the playing field" and lowers our standards of health care and innovation in medical technology.

The current proposals in Congress and the Senate have little to do with health care and everything to do with control. People inside this government want to control every facet of our lives and they will use any means to do it. Stop this Health Care Legislation Now! Stop it before some government bureaucrat decides you are no longer a useful member of society. God should decide your fate, not the Government.

Hat Tip to my friend...Tom Tompkins

Principled people are very hard to find but it seems my friend Tom Tomkins has found such a man in our U.S. Congress. Watch Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan make his opening statement in the Health Care debate. Listen carefully to what he is saying...

Obama tells the truth between the lies....

President Obama said today that there is no "Death Panel" in any legislation being considered by Congress and the Senate. His statement is true....except, of course, for Section 1233 in one of the of the bills circulating in the House of Representatives.

This is the provision that mandates "end of life counseling sessions" for anyone over 65, every five years. The counseling would encourage patients needing medical care to have a "Living Will" and "think about" Hospice care as an alternative to life saving treatments. The sessions would be held with a Government paid Physician and a Government Board counseling the patient. There would be "bonus" money paid to the Physician if the patient accepts the Hospice and the pill.

This isn't exactly a Death Panel but it's pretty damn close and there is a bigger issue at stake. The Government can change the rules in the middle of the game by requiring that certain patients must have yearly counseling. More Pressure to give into the Government's wishes. More bonuses for the Doctors. Given what I know of human nature, the patient would opt to die rather than have to spend their last few years on this planet arguing with the Federal Government.

Why does this concern me. Other than Glenn Beck's show have you ever heard of Germany's ActionT4 Project? It was Germany's answer to the health care problem that existed in Germany in the 1930's. It was a euthanasia program that started in 1939 and went on halfway through 1941. 70,273 people were exterminated by physicians acting on Hitler's secret memo of September 1, 1939 and they weren't Jews.

The Euthanasia Decree, written by Adolf Hitler in September 1939, reads as follows:

Reich Leader Bouhler and Dr. Brandt are charged with the responsibility for expanding the authority of physicians, to be designated by name, to the end that patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment [menschlichem Ermessen] of their state of health, can be granted a mercy death [Gnadentod].

This happened because Germany had such a profound financial crisis that rationing health care and natural resources became acceptable by it's people. They [the German Government] had printed money to sustain their currency all through the 1930's because of the Stock Market crash of 1929. Printing money, buying their own debt, devaluing their money led to a society that devalued not just money, but their people. Does this sound familiar?

The danger for us today is that circumstances that created Hitler's Germany in the 1930's exists today in America. We are spending money at an alarming rate and now the Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Giethner, is asking Congress to raise the debt ceiling to frightening heights. We are printing money we don't have to pay debt's we didn't have the money to pay for in the first place. This isn't going to end well.

The "innocent" language being written into the health care legislation pending in the House is dangerous. When you give any well meaning Government the power over the life or death of it's people you are setting up a blue print for disaster. Does President Obama want to kill me or my fellow Seniors? No.

So why do I believe that Government controlled health care is dangerous for America. One person, the President, can't make that giant leap to rationing health care....but a group of people with radical ideas about population control and rationing resources can influence policy in a political environment such as we have now in America.

President Obama and his health advisers, individually, are not necessarily evil people. But when you combine ideas of well meaning men and women, that are far outside the normal thought of ordinary Americans, you are creating a scenario for great social danger.

Rahm Emanuel's brother, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is on the "Health Care Panel". To say he holds extreme views is an understatement. He has written on such issues as: Assisted Suicide. The promise of a good death, Death with Dignity, Dogma Disputed:

For many people, death in modern advanced societies is inherently undignified. Terminally ill patients are connected to tubes and machines; they experience pain, shortness of breath, and other excruciating symptoms; they are unable to get out of bed, feed themselves, and even go to the bathroom alone; they are cared for in impersonal institutions. In such circumstances, there is no way to maintain dignity in the dying process.1–3 This loss of dignity is a major concern of dying patients and constitutes one of the main motivations behind efforts to improve palliative care and promote the goal of “a good death”.

These are pretty radical ideas. He also believes in a theory called the "Complete Lives System". It advocates for the culling of society by social worth. The chart below gives you a general ideal of the value placed on individuals in Obama's brave new world.

Cass Sunstien advocates Animal Civil Rights and Internet Censorship:
The term “group polarization” refers to something very simple: After deliberating with one another, people are likely to move toward a more extreme point in the direction to which they were previously inclined, as indicated by the median of their pre-deliberation judgements. With respect to the Internet, the implication is that groups of people, especially if they are like-minded, will end up thinking the same thing that they thought before — but in more extreme form.

John Holdren is an Al Gore doomsday environmentalist. He supports limits on energy usage and health care. These are the people that surround Obama. None of them are evil people but they all are people with radical ideas. Together they are far more dangerous than they are individually.

Truman Capote wrote "In Cold Blood" about two men who went on a killing spree in Kansas in the late 1950's. He states that each man, individually probably wouldn't have killed anyone but when the were brought together they formed the complete murderer.

This is the problem with Obama, his Advisers and Czars. They are all ideologically bent in the same direction on the environment, energy and health care. Each one may not be a Socialist in the true sense of the word but together they form a dangerous mindset much like existed in Germany during the early 1930's. They are proposing programs that will take freedom of movement, free speech, and freedom to choose our own health care out of the hands of the people and into the huge bureaucracy that they are creating.

A pet dog may be docile and loving by itself but when put in a group of dogs that are allowed to run free they revert to the pack mentality. Barak Obama and his henchmen have been unleashed by the last election and they are a pack of dogs waiting to devour every bit of freedom the Americans people have. We live in very dangerous times and history does repeat itself.

We are being bankrupted by the policies of this Administration. When there is no money for even essentials there will be a cry for the Government to do somethings. And the Government will, but it will lead us to a totalitarian Society. We must stand up to these people before we find our toddlers and Senior Citizens being led to the Death Panels. Sounds like fiction. Unfortunately, it has happened before and it could be happening again.

Danger! Read the Fine Print...

A friend of mine (YvonneCB@comcast.net) sent me this post. I have researched some of it before but simply haven't had time to do more. Everything I've found out about this health care(?) bill is truly evil. Most of the things in this e-mail are based on fact. Please use every method of communication you can, send an e-mail, write a snail mail, fax and phone your Senators and Representatives and as many of the power brokers in the House and Senate to stop this monstrosity. This is real. This is dangerous. This is Nazi Germany!

I am including Phone Numbers for Pelosi and Reid and the Kansas and Missouri Delegations at the end of this article so there's no excuse for you not to call your Representative or Senator!

This is from Yvonne:

Am sending this to almost every single person within my e-mail address book. I am Astounded. Fearful. Angry. In total disblief this could be true/could be happening......

This was sent to me from someone other than the man who put it all together (Peter Flekstein who also writes under Fleckman). I haven't changed any of the listings; as he states, the comments that may follow each page statement are his.

Since he's listed each page and the lines with the regulation, (although it's nearly impossible to believe they can be true), will ask any of you to PLEASE prove to me that they are NOT true....

This legislation is impossible to defend. If you can't prove they're not true, can you defend them?

No wonder the Democrats want to immediately pass.....want to do so before all of us find out about these mostly mandatory and non-American regulations (and what else???) within the bill....

This isn't a health bill. This is total power and control over our lives and the majority (or all) listed below is truly macabre and Nazi-like! If you aren't scared yet, when?

You haven't been politically involved, you haven't been interested in thinking through how the government affects your life (and the lives of your children....and parents.....), you haven't cared enough in the past....you didn't pay attention during the election....you don't follow politics.....think it hasn't been that important and that you couldn't make a difference anyway......well, duncha think it's now time to re-think the situation???

We the People MUST stop this atrocity from happening in America. This isn't freedom. This isn't hope. This isn't good for any of the people of America....except the heads who are exempt from what they're foisting upon us.....and believe they should control the world by controlling us. Plus all else below, they will also incorporate as much as possible under the "health umbrella"....food, housing, sex, weight, travel, media (mental health, you know...not emotionally healthy to hear "the anti-government argument").....exercise (remember Big Brother's exercise program every morning through the "reality television" in Orwell's 1984? Read it NOW if you haven't....the Democrats have now brought us to both 1984 and Brave New World......). You name it. It'll fit under their agenda. Remember, it's about control and power.

Just a few samples.....

Pg 59: Direct access to your bank account?

Pg 239: Reduce physician services for Medicaid, Seniors, low income, and poor?

Pg 425: Death decisions to end your life? Power of attorney? Mandatory.

Pg 429: Doctor assigned to write end of life order?

Doctor wages and value determined by government....rationing for seniors and others not meeting government's "cost efficiency".....mental health defined by government......penalties....fees....National ID cards.....government authority to deny...hospitals must get government approval.....illegals included....employers forced to enroll, pay, penalized....

Not mentioned here, but have heard that also included is that elective abortions are covered as well as forcing hospitals and doctors who do not believe in performing abortions will be mandated to do so. Prove me wrong....PLEASE!

The Democrats can pass this without the Republicans. The Democrats have WRITTEN all this legislation.

There are some Democrats (more rational or cowardly in fear of losing their 2010 re-election) who are not sure they want to go forward with this legislation.

And, there may be some wayward Republicans who will go along to get along....or be as power hungry and socialist as these majority of Democrats dictating this atrocity.....

SO.....we ALL NEED TO CALL ALL OUR LEGISLATORS......if you believe this isn't what you had thought Hope and Change would be....... and don't want this for our country....and for our lives.

Each of us is important to state our views to the people who are supposed to be representing us!

The House and Senate will be going on recess from Washington D.C. in August and should be in their local districts and states. They need to hear from you BEFORE THEY RETURN TO WASHINGTON TO DO DAMAGE!

It's easy to find their local office phone numbers and local office addresses in your phone books or through directory help. You can also call Washington D.C. and ask for your senator or respresentative at 202-224-3121.

The web address www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml. should give you your representatives' e-mail address. CALL. WRITE snail mail. WRITE e-mail. If you have to research or call someone else for help, please don't give in to apathy.

Yvonne

P.S. Would you want to become a member of the medical field after reading this? Invest $150,000, work 80 hour weeks to train, lifetime of continual knowledge and training, even devote pro bono in goodness....for this????

Remember, Obama's choice for Surgeon General has stated she does not believe doctors should make a profit!

One Man's Pork is Another Man's Carne de Cerdo...

Click on the links to see the actual Recovery.com page.

The Drudge Report had been pounding reports from Recovery.gov all day yesterday with banner headlines...

RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $2,531,600 FOR 'HAM, WATER ADDED, COOKED, FROZEN, SLICED, 2-LB'...
RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $1,191,200 FOR '2 POUND FROZEN HAM SLICED'...
RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $351,807 FOR 'REPLACE AND UPGRADE TH
E DUMBWAITER'...
RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $1,5
62,568 FOR 'MOZZARELLA CHEESE'...
RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $5,708,260 FOR 'PROCESS CHEESE'...
RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $16,784,272 FOR 'CANNED P
ORK'...
RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $1,444,100 FOR 'REPAIR DOOR
BLDG 5112'...

so the Administration found it necessary to strike back...

At first glance, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack's defense of Government expenditures listed on the Drudge Report yesterday morning seem reasonable but....yes there is a but. The sums of money being spent on foodstuffs for the Stimulus is mind boggling. If this is a stimulus plan then why did the Federal Government have to include so much "Pork" for food banks and shelters in this particular bidding. Secretary Vilsack responded with a statement:
"Press reports suggesting that the Recovery Act spent $1.191 million to buy '2 pounds of ham' are wrong," Vilsack retorted. His explaination was the "2 pound frozen ham sliced" was the packaging size and that the USDA in fact purchased 760,000 pounds of ham for $1.191 million which translates to approximately $1.56 a pound. The food is being distributed to food banks, soup kitchens and other local organizations that assist the needy, via the state-run Emergency Food Assistance Program.

"This program will help reduce hunger of those hardest hit by the current economic recession," Vilsack said.

He added, "While the principal purpose of these expenditures is to provide food to those hardest hit by these tough times, the purchases also provide a modest economic benefit of benefiting Americans working at food retailers, manufacturers and transportation companies as well as the farmers and ranchers who produce our food supply."
The reasonableness starts to falter when you examine all of the information provided at Recovery.com For instance,

RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $2,531,600 FOR 'HAM, WATER ADDED, COOKED, FROZEN, SLICED, 2-LB'...
RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $1,191,200 FOR '2 POUND FROZEN HAM SLICED'...

Add up these two items and you get $3,722,800 from the Stimulus which goes to California District 34, the district served by Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, first Mexican-American elected to House of Representatives. It benefits Clougherty Packing, LLC, It is a Union Shop in Los Angeles CA and is owned by Hormel Foods. It employees a large Hispanic workforce. Hormel also supports Hispanic Farms throughout Southern California and Arizona.

RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $1,562,568 FOR 'MOZZARELLA CHEESE'
Rep Marcia Fudge (D) who replaced the late Stephanie Tubbs Jones in Ohio's District 11, considered the most Democratic District in Ohio, secured $1,562,568 for Miceli Dairy Products Company to provide Mozzarella Cheese to the Stimulus Program.

The population of District 11 breaks down to approximately 49% White, 49% Black, with only 2% Hispanic. The demographic becomes clearer when as look at Ohio's Hispanic population.

There seems to be a pattern developing that would suggest that at least in these two districts there is a heavy Hispanic population in or near the district from which to draw workers.


RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $5,708,260 FOR 'PROCESS CHEESE'
Joe Klien (R) Minnesota, District 2, brought home $5,708,260 in Process Cheese from Bongards' Creameries and can draw upon heavy Hispanic populations.


RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $16,784,272 FOR 'CANNED PORK'
In perhaps the most well named item in the Recovery.com report was for "Canned Pork". Rep.Thomas Evert Petri (R), Wisconsin, District 6, really brought home the bacon to the tune of $16,784,272 to Lakeside Foods Inc. The District is in the most Hispanic part of the state.


RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $351,807 FOR 'REPLACE AND UPGRADE THE DUMBWAITER'
Dept. of Veterans Affairs receives $351,807 in Rep. Nita Lowery's (D) District 18, Brooklyn, New York for a new dumb-waiter upgrade. In 2000 District 18 had a 16% Hispanic population. The population of New York City is approximately 8.1 Million.

RECOVERY.GOV // AWARDED: $1,444,100 FOR 'REPAIR DOOR BLDG 5112'
Texas of course has a 25% Hispanic population. One in every four possible votes is Hispanic. Rep. Charles A. "Charlie" Gonzalez (R) secured 1,444,100 to repair a door in Bldg. 5112 at Dyess AFB in Texas, District 19. That must be some door.

I don't know if this really means anything; it may all be a huge coincidence but in an era when demographics are king in politics and Hispanics are a key voter block in the 2010 Congressional elections and the 2012 Presidential race I see a disturbing pattern developing. I first thought I was going to find mostly Democratic Districts getting the money but Rep.Thomas Evert Petri from Wisconsin, District 6, has an (R) after his name. I think the bigger picture that is developing is the Administration is actively going after the support of Hispanic populations, nationwide, for future elections by literally buying votes with Stimulus money.

In every passed or proposed piece of legislation there are huge sums of money allocated for unemployment insurance, food stuffs for shelters and food pantries. There seems to be a distinct desire on the part of this administration to destroy as many jobs as possible so were going to need those benefits. I guess we are going to need that unemployment unless of course we are Retired. The Government has a plan for us too that has already been funded. It is for counselors for us to get used to the idea of "Death with Dignity". Guess we Seniors won't need any unemployment or commodities. Yep! The Government has a plan. Unfortunately, we Seniors won't benefit unless we are illegal Hispanic immigrants.
