THE TRUTH: Restoring Common Sense to America #3

Is this America? A memo has recently come to light from Rahm Emanuel to our caring and compassionate President. The context of the memo concerns the strategic timing of ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The strategy is to time the withdrawals of our brave troops just months prior to the November 2012 elections, thereby claiming credit for ending both wars, saving tax dollars and reducing the debt by nearly $1T and claiming to save the lives of our troops. This according to Rahm Emanuel will ensure Obama’s reelection and may even prevent the necessity of manufacturing another economic crisis (to blame on the Republicans) prior to the November elections.

The TRUTH of this despicable policy (coming from a vile and corrupt career politician, with the full support and approval of this administration), is intentionally causing the deaths of US and Coalition/NATO Troops on an almost daily basis. Understand that under this administration, the “Rules of Engagement” for battlefield tactics have changed dramatically: Our brave troops can no longer offensively engage hostile enemy action and return fire without 1.) Command Post authorization (which typically takes several minutes), and 2.) Our troops have already suffered casualties or serious injuries, and 3.) Visually confirm that no civilians are near the engagement area. This battlefield policy, dictated from the White House, has effectively nullified our battlefield superiority. Our brave military personnel are now target practice for terrorists and to quote a recently wounded veteran of Afghanistan, “We need to bring a lawyer out on patrol with us to get the OK to return fire”. It is not surprising that the suicide rates for our deployed, active duty personnel are at an unprecedented high. Never before in the history of our nation have we sent troops into battle with their hands tied and with standing orders not to defend themselves. 

Every American that I know wants to end these wars and return our troops home safely. However, this administration is ending these wars precipitously, regardless of the outcomes and is willing to keep our troops in harm’s way for the sole purpose of political and personal gain. This is unconscionable and tantamount to premeditated murder. Impeachment, disbarment, and imprisonment does not begin to do justice to the magnitude of these crimes. America we should be justifiably OUTRAGED!

The level of deceit, mendacity and immorality out of this administration is beyond comprehension. The drumbeat has started, and Obama’s re-election campaign has begun its full assault. We will be assailed, endlessly for the next 16 months with the (Democrats) Liberal/Progressive/Communist/Socialist lies, misdirection’s, racial and class warfare propaganda. The DNC is predicting that Obama (even in this economy) will raise nearly $1T in campaign funds. And if the previous election is any indication, no one will be able to question the sources of these staggering campaign contributions without being accused of racism, regardless if the sources are foreign or domestic, fraudulent or legitimate. Is this America?

I want every American to remember during this election cycle…

The Democrats accuse the Republicans/Conservatives/Tea Partiers of terrorism, taking hostages, racism, and killing women/children/the infirmed and the elderly. However these “progressives” cannot have it both ways. The liberals (including Obama) have controlled Washington for 72 months (up to November 2012) and have implemented their insane policies nearly unchecked since the November 2006 elections. During the last two years of the Bush administration, the Republicans were powerless to stop the liberals. Our economy started “tanking” in 2008, due in large part to the inane and incompetent Keynesian policies of the Democrats that controlled both the House and the Senate. Yet these same liberals (notably Obama) incessantly insist that it was George W. Bush and the Republicans that destroyed our economy and that Obama just innocently inherited the mess. That is a LIE!! The liberals played a large contributory role in destroying our economy (please read my previous blogs outlining how they purposefully achieved this). Now fast forward to 2011, post November 2010 elections which put the Republicans in control of the House of Representatives (only one half of one third of our government), and the liberals are again on their mantra… it is all the Republican’s fault, they are terrorist, driving ideological policies which are destroying our economy and preventing economic recovery. How can this be? If George W. Bush could single handedly destroy our economy in 2008 (with the Democrats in control of both houses), but Barack H. Obama cannot implement his miraculous economic policies because he is hindered by the Republicans (who control only one house). Does this add up, or is this yet another example of the new liberal “fuzzy math”?   

VIVIDLY REMEMBER Obama and the Democrats 10 point plan for “hope and change” in America when you go to vote in November 2012:

1.)    Implemented the worst healthcare reform package in the history of the world – it will cost the US taxpayer over $2T and will benefit not one American Citizen, except unions, large corporations (that contributed significantly to Obama’s campaign), lawyers, and large pharmaceutical companies. And remember how this law was passed in backroom, closed-door sessions that were explained away with “You have to pass the bill, to find out what is in the bill”.

2.)    Passed the deficit expanding nearly $1T “economic stimulus” package that benefited not one American Citizen, except unions, large corporations, lawyers and those that contributed heavily to Obama’s election campaign, without stimulating any aspect of our economy. 

3.)    Appointed socialists, communists, radicals and eugenicists as czars and to high-level cabinet positions. 

4.)    Implemented Obama’s pro-growth policies which have: Grown unemployment to record numbers (nearly 42 million Americans are out of work), grown housing foreclosures to record numbers, grown bankruptcies to record numbers, grown poverty levels to record numbers, grown the number of food stamp and welfare recipients to record numbers, grown the closure of US based businesses to record numbers, grown regulatory and government controls to record numbers, grown our dependence on foreign oil to record numbers, and grown the national debt to historically unprecedented and all-time record numbers.

5.)    Implemented Obama’s reduction policies which have: Reduced our standing in the global community to record lows, reduced our ratings in the global economy to record lows, reduced our respect around the world to record lows, reduced our credibility around the globe to record lows, reduced the concept of “American Exceptionalism” to record lows, reduced the educational standards of our schools to record lows, reduced our border protections to record lows, and reduced the overall quality of American lives to record lows.

6.)     Mishandled, manipulated and mischaracterized the Gulf oil disaster, the uprisings in the Middle East, the war on Libya, the release (and pardoning) of numerous Guantanamo Bay terrorists, the murder of US Border Patrol Agents and the murder/rape/mutilations of nearly 60,000 Mexican Citizens (via the Fast and Furious debacle), nearly every natural disaster that has befallen the US and our economic catastrophe.

7.)    Have blamed Bush, the Republicans, the Tea Partiers, global disasters, rising oil prices and everyone else, while taking zero responsibility for failed economic policies, out-of-control government spending, crushing debt, vastly burgeoning deficits and bankrupting our country.  

8.)     Destroyed any hope of the “American Dream” as well as devastating our economy.

9.)     And while all of this was occurring, Obama has played more rounds of golf, hosted more parties and fundraisers, took more vacations and (non business related) travels than any other President in the history of this country.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE! I am launching a new blog called “THE TRUTH: Restoring Common Sense to America”.

What is going on in our government is criminal, treasonous and is purposefully destroying America. We have hired an administration and congress that are openly and unapologetically communists and socialists. The ONLY way to combat this contemptible state of affairs is through knowledge of THE TRUTH. 

I have spent several months gathering this information, and seeking out and verifying sources in an effort to uncover THE TRUTH and to let America know what is going on behind closed doors, not only in Washington, but around our nation. The following information has been corroborated – THE TRUTH can be harsh, but understand that with the current environment that we are now faced with, we must pull together as a nation and confront our challenges if we are to survive. If you know of any injustice, cover-ups, and/or criminal activity on the part of our “leaders” (government or corporate), I am calling on all my fellow Americans, to come forward and unburden your souls, let THE TRUTH BE HEARD, once and for all! Please let others know of THE TRUTH, spread the word…

“THE TRUTH: Restoring Common Sense to America”

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program codenamed “Fast and Furious” which has come to light recently in the news had nothing to do with tracking US Government sales of illegal high-powered, automatic weapons to Mexican drug cartels. This program was conceived nearly two years ago by the highest levels of the Obama administration as a direct and concentrated assault to overturn/circumvent the 2^nd Amendment to the US Constitution. This program had the tacit, yet voracious support of the POTUS, the USAG, the USSOS, and the VPOTUS, among other Executive level Cabinet Members. When this program was first conceived, a direct assault - coordinated through and with the full complicity of our directed propaganda media outlets – began the dissemination of public statements made by: President Obama, US Attorney General Eric Holder, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the administration’s Press Corps/liaisons to the effect that (paraphrased) “US manufactured high powered automatic weapons and weapons of mass destruction were streaming across the border into Mexico, and being used by the Mexican drug cartels to commit murder, horrific felonies and human rights violations. This activity is considered by the US Government as unconscionable.”   “Fast and Furious” was implemented solely to corroborate these public statements, and was not in any way to be linked to direct US Government involvement. As is the case with most federal programs, “Fast and Furious” rapidly spun out-of-control and began to have a life all it’s own. When (finally) some honest and well meaning ATF Agents and Executives began to break this story - only after the murder of one of their own – did the damage control and spin propaganda begin in earnest out of the White House. This is perhaps one of the most egregious criminal/felonious activities ever perpetrated by the US Government, the sheer numbers of innocent victims affected by this administration’s actions is staggering. Not to mention, the underling treasonous intent to usurp authority and circumvent the law established by the US Constitution. Impeachment, disbarment, and imprisonment does not begin to do justice to the magnitude of these crimes. America we should be justifiably OUTRAGED!

General Electric has recently re-branded itself (under Jeffery Immelt) as the “ecomagination” corporation – ostensibly an eco-friendly, environmentally conscious company. This is a noble gesture, from a corporation responsible for one of the single worst environmental disasters perpetrated on American soil and covered-up (with the full knowledge and complicity of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Obama administration) and effectively hidden from the American public. In a small, quaint hamlet in a rural region of southeastern North Carolina (I will not reveal the exact location due to security considerations), GE has operated one of its most profitable divisions (Nuclear Fuel Rods), that has so polluted the surrounding environment with massively toxic nuclear and industrial waste, that GE has determined (at a corporate level) that it is economically impossible to clean up the wasteland that it has created. The preliminary estimates place the clean-up effort and decommissioning of this site at approximately 100-200 Billion dollars. GE has therefore determined that as long as it is economically viable and in the best interests of GE, that this plant will remain open so as not be forced into decommissioning status by the NRC. This would allow GE to continue to “bribe” Obama administration officials (kickbacks and significant campaign contributions), and receive massively preferential consideration from the Obama administration (no income taxes on any corporate profits, no decommissioning requirements from the NRC and no Superfund cleanup requirements from the EPA). Bottom line… GE remains highly profitable, Obama continues his re-election campaign unabated and the unfortunate citizens of this community must learn to live with the toxic “soup” of uranium tetraflouride, raw actinides, nuclear waste, uranium dioxide, cadmium, etc., as well as a plethora of other industrial pollutants in the soil, surrounding waterways and ground water. This area has progressed so far beyond the “brownfield” designation, that it can only be considered a wasteland and a true American tragedy. Couple this with the unconditional criminal negligence in the Obama administration’s handling of the BP Gulf oil catastrophe and the Wyoming and Montana Pipeline “incidents”. Please justify how anyone can still believe that this administration cares for any citizen in this country (unless you are a Union boss or a major campaign contributor) and that Obama is environmentally conscious. Again, impeachment, disbarment, and imprisonment does not begin to do justice to the magnitude of these crimes. America we should be justifiably OUTRAGED!

The true state of America’s political agenda today is deplorable! The lies coming out of Washington are so egregious; it is difficult to digest on a daily basis. Let’s face “Just the Facts”, both parties have lied to the American public, however is it just me or does it seem that in general, when Republicans lie, it is to cover up some operation or procedure designed to ultimately protect American interests. This may in due course be an issue of conscience, and will be judged from a societal perspective. However it appears that when Democrats lie, it is for personal gain, power, money or pushing an extreme ideology. My preference is the truth – Republicans don’t need to lie or be apologetic about an operation that makes America safer!  Liberals need to ascertain the true meaning of ethical behavior, if they are committed to a socialist/communist/progressive agenda – admit it, up front with no pretense. Let American’s judge the dubious merits and disastrous effects of these policies before they are enacted into law. Never again should America be subjected to the arrogance and condescension in the admonition that we will “find out what’s in the bill, after it has passed”.   Our political process is in disarray. Our politicians have lost sight of their “charter”. They are not the American elite, neither are they American royalty (as some in the media would have us believe). We have fought wars, at tremendous cost to our nation, to prevent America from becoming a monarchy and to prevent enslavement of our citizenry. Our politicians have proven, time and again, they are not the brightest among us, they are not the most talented, nor the most insightful. What they embody (at best) are stewards of the American spirit and conduits of the American will. They are elected to REPRESENT the resolve of their constituents that have delegated to them an “office of public trust”. This means they SERVE, period, end of story. Their service should be term limited, highly accountable and ubiquitously discernible with humility, honesty and decency. If we want to fix our system, DO NOT VOTE FOR POLITICIANS THAT LIE!!!!!!! It is as simple as that…

Familiarity (as the saying goes) breeds contempt, it does not imply the truth!   How often have we Americans been subjected to the following lies:

How many times in the past several years have we heard Democrats (including Sen. Obama) expounding that the Bush Tax Cuts were only for the benefit of the wealthiest American taxpayers. Now with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts looming, the Democrats (ignoring their previous lies) are stating the Bush tax cuts are fine for 90% of the American taxpayers – including lower and middle income citizens, hummm…

How many time have we heard President Obama and the Democrats state emphatically, “this is all Bush’s fault – the Republicans have driven the economy into the ditch and why should we give them the keys again”. “Just The Facts”… again, are getting in the way of these false accusations and the American conscience is finally waking up to the truth – the Democrats have dominated both Houses of Congress, and their disastrous policies pushed through since 2006 have bankrupted our country and caused irrevocable economic harm, hummm…

How many times have we heard this administration, the Democrats and our “trusted” media excoriate the Arizona illegal alien law as “racist, promoting racial profiling and a violation of human rights”? What they neglect to mention is that this law EXACTLY mirrors existing federal illegal immigration laws. Does this imply that our federal government is engaging in racist activities or just protecting American sovereignty? Additionally, our totally incompetent Attorney General has now allowed a multi-national consortium of Central and South American countries to enjoin the federal lawsuit against the state of Arizona. Does Eric Holder not realize (or perhaps, purposefully realizes) that if an activist federal judge, presides in favor of the absurd federal position in this case, that not only will Arizona’s illegal alien law be overturned, but the defacto federal laws that they are based upon will be reversed as well. If this occurs, American sovereignty will no longer exist and our borders will be meaningless. If you question the absurdity of the action taken by this administration, please do not hesitate to look up the facts, as well as the existing illegal alien laws of Mexico and the other consortium nations, as compared to ANY existing US laws. It is appalling, and quite frankly offensive that countries that routinely engage in atrocious human rights violations, incarcerate and execute undocumented aliens, are encouraged by this administration to prosecute Arizona for implementing existing, reasonable laws that the federal government refuses to enforce, hummm… 

How many times have we heard this administration and the Democrats laud the successes of the “Summer of Stimulus” and of the nearly ONE TRILLION (taxpayer) DOLLARS Stimulus Bill? WHAT A JOKE! This administration and this Congress cannot even account for the stimulus funds, HAVE NOT stimulated the economy in any discernable way, created any meaningful, long-term jobs, reduced the national unemployment rate, or boosted the American consumer’s confidence in any way, shape or form. What this Stimulus Bill (and its’ subsequent iterations) HAS DONE is paid back (in triplicate) the corrupt political organizations, PACs and special interest groups that contributed to Obama’s election campaign and tripled our national debt. Additionally, this administration has authorized (without Congressional advice/consent or American taxpayer knowledge) nearly THREE TRILLION DOLLARS, to the Federal Reserve to be redistributed in whatever way it deems necessary, without any oversight, accountability or justification. Now don’t you feel Stimulated, hummm… 

We need to not only vote in record numbers but also demand accountability! Demand that the massive, nationwide voter corruption, fraud and intimidation that occurred in the 2008 Presidential election NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN! Demand that valid US Citizenship be established before ANYONE can cast a ballot! Demand that our brave soldiers, who risk life and limb in the course of protecting our rights, are able to exercise one of their most precious rights! Do not ever forget, THIS IS AMERICA! 

Lies, innuendos, double entendre and other deceptions…

How much can we endure? Obama’s State of the Union address was monumental… from start to finish, we were assaulted with unabridged lies, innuendos, sous-entendu (hidden meanings) and far too many distortions and deceptions. Our President is NOT a stupid man, so why does he insist on thinking the American public is? It was an absolute affront to our intelligence. During the SotU, Obama repeatedly and succinctly blamed the previous administration for our country’s tribulations. He knows first hand that the Democrats have had full and complete control of both Houses (the Senate and the Congress) since November of 2006 (remember he was a sitting Senator for all of 18 months before he ran for the Presidency). He is aware that his party had more than a sideline position in devastating our economy (please refer to my previous blog: High Crimes and Misdemeanors).   He knows that his party demanded both the Medicare/Medicaid prescription drug plan and the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) while the Bush Administration was asleep at the wheel. These two bills, passed unanimously by the Democrats, accounted for more than 73% of the deficits that were incurred at the end of the Bush presidency. How dare he pass the blame to Bush and the Republicans when he supported these bills that the Democrats emphatically declared as “an absolute necessity to avert impending disaster”. Most Americans, myself included do not give Bush and the Republicans a pass on this either. How dare he claim that he is excluding lobbyists from policymaking positions, when his cabinet and czardom is almost exclusively comprised of former lobbyist. Are we to believe that a corrupt lobbyist is any less evil because they agree with Obama? How dare he claim that the economy has turned around on his watch and over 2 million jobs have been saved (how do you quantify a “saved” job?). He knows that unemployment is well over 10% and is devastating the lives of tens of millions of Americans now facing homelessness, poverty, hunger, and an unforgiving and unsure future. How dare he claim no earmarks on his watch when over 8000 wasteful earmarks were buried in his futile stimulus bill. How dare he exalt the actions of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, when he knows that the disastrous policies of his fellow Democrats implemented through their proxy organizations, Fannie and Freddie collapsed our economy. How dare he claim that he is promoting bipartisanship and the Republicans are nothing but obstructionists. He knows his party has held a vast majority in both houses for nearly 4 years and still have not been able to achieve their socialist/“progressive” agenda. He is well aware that the Republicans have proposed alternatives to the “progressive’s” programs and have been blocked and even locked out in the Obama version of “bipartisanship”. He knows for a fact that American Citizens do not want socialism or Marxism redefining the American Dream.

I do agree with Obama that our educational system needs to be “revamped” for America to remain competitive, however I fear that to Obama, this means absolute capitulation to the NEA union, an end to the No Child Left Behind Act and a return to the failed policies of graduating “difficult” and often uneducated children to “clear the rosters”. If this is his intent, how dare he! 

It is time for the truth Mr. President! Own your presidency, admit that during the past year: the economy, national security, energy independence, illegal immigration, the war on terror, the threat of nuclear weapons proliferation, the federal deficit, and virtually all other domestic and international issues have been “back-burnered” to push your socialist single payer healthcare debacle. And now a year later after running the federal deficit to unprecedented, overwhelming, unsustainable numbers, ignoring the economy (other than to throw money at the union bosses), you want to postulate a freeze on federal spending some time in 2011, after you throw even more money at the union bosses. HOW DARE YOU! Every time a domestic or international crisis has occurred, you have been “unavailable”: on vacation, at a party, at a DNC function, or “stumping” for healthcare reform. You want corroboration, just ask: our brave soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, our dedicated Intelligence Community, the Iranian protesters, the Hondurans, the 300+ passengers on board the Christmas terrorist flight, the survivors and the victims families of the Ft. Hood terror attack, ad infinitum. I would presume that you are also asleep at the wheel, however I do not believe America is that providential. Admit that for your entire life you have sought out and surrounded yourself with radicals, “progressives”, socialists and Marxists. And now that you represent the Citizens of the United States, you have filled your cabinet, appointed your advisors and created a czardom that shares your radical views. HOW DARE YOU! This is not what America “signed up” for! We all know that Obama will never own up to his faults, his ideologies, his lies and his true intentions. Psychiatrists have a classification for this and it is called egomaniacal pathological narcissistic liars: “…they believe they have superior intelligence (a God complex) and other people around them are plain stupid. They are quick to boast about their endeavors and often embellish on what is something very simple and normal. They are self-centered and egomaniacal and have no thought of how they hurt or demean others around them. THEY ARE ALWAYS RIGHT and YOU ARE ALWAYS WRONG!” 

Does this sound all too familiar?

Welcome to our New Republic!

The recent disasters that have befallen Haiti are a human tragedy and heartrending. Haiti has a long history of nearly overwhelming poverty and suffering. America has opened its hearts to the people of Haiti and has (even in these abysmal economic times) given, in record proportions much needed aid and comfort to ease the suffering of all Haitians (I would encourage everyone to contribute what they can to a trustworthy charitable organization). In keeping with its admirable and remarkable traditions, America was again at the vanguard, providing sustenance, medical personnel, facilities, support, aid and comfort, while restoring much needed order to Haiti. While the outpouring of volunteers, money, doctors, rescue personnel, medicine, equipment, technology, communications, food, water, shelter, clothing and virtually everything else provided from the average American citizen and our military, exceeded the aid and support provided by all other nations combined, we received unprecedented (and unwarranted) criticism from the EU, China, Venezuela, Cuba and all our other “friends” around the globe. In particular, the French government and the French press (specifically the AFP: the French arm of the Associated Press) were brutal. When our brave soldiers were deployed to Haiti to restore order, provide communications, infrastructure, medical facilities, shelter and begin the organized distribution of sustenance. The French government “stepped up to the plate” and accused America of sending “occupation forces” into Haiti with the intention of taking over. Numerous other nations around the globe and even some Haitians were soon echoing this absurd claim. The French press reinforced this notion by providing extensive photos of the Haitian tragedy and suffering, with the images of French, Cuban, German, Venezuelan doctors and aid workers providing relief and comfort to the Haitians, while not one photo in the entire 1000+ photo essay showed a single American doctor, rescuer or volunteer. What they did show, exclusively, were American soldiers at the Presidential Palace, on the streets in Haiti and watching over the Haitian airport and roads. Clearly the implication was that all other nations had pulled together to provide assistance to Haiti, while America was ONLY sending in the troops. What an insult, particularly from the French – who are solely responsible for creating the conditions in Haiti that lead to such overwhelming human tragedy and suffering (please read the history of Haiti and the French occupation, subsequent enslavement, brutality, and genocide perpetrated by the “compassionate French”).     

The altruistic side of me would like to believe that in the face of a tragedy of this magnitude, our fair-weather “friends” would forego this type of BS America bashing, and focus on the task at hand: saving as many Haitians lives as possible and preventing further adversity and suffering. But the realist in me knows that this will continue, unabated and encouraged by our own America bashing administration.

I sincerely wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year! 

I am hoping for the best, however of necessity, I am preparing for the worst. National polls have become a regular fixture of (almost) daily American lives. Pundits and critics, alike extol poll results and tout their effectiveness in gauging the “pulse of the nation” when they agree with the outcomes and lambaste polls as worthless drivel and “expected to change on a daily basis” when the outcomes are unfavorable. What are Americans expected to believe? We as a nation have become use to, indifferent to and sometimes even tolerant of the lies and “disingenuous discourse” from our politicians (we should all be ashamed of ourselves, just because a lie is repeated often enough – DOES NOT MAKE IT THE TRUTH!). In this unprecedented environment, what DO we believe… I have begun to question EVERYTHING! However, there is one poll that (usually) comes out prior to election cycles and approximately one year into a new administration, that queries average American Citizens as to their status now, compared to a year ago. Presumably this accounts for prosperity status, health status, and some sort of “happiness quotient”. I have not seen this from the national polls as yet, however I have done an impromptu study with family, friends and acquaintances and the results are appalling. Out of nearly 200 people, that I asked “are you better off now than a year ago”, not one person responded affirmatively. Understand this was by no means an “official” poll or scientific study, just brought up in casual conversation, however not one person responded that they were better off now – astounding! What do say to something like that, I know personally, that I am far worse now than I was a year ago. I am trying desperately to keep things together for my family and sometimes the obstacles seem insurmountable, but I refuse to give up! I know of many, many other families in similar situations. Was this the “hope and change” you were expecting? Are you more prosperous now? Do you feel safer? Do you have the same hopes and dreams for your family’s future or have they been replaced with “survival mode” economics?   Are you happy? 

I do not wish to be a purveyor of “gloom and doom”, but what are we Americans left with. Our nation that we love and cherish is being transformed into a European/Soviet Union style economy and government. God have mercy upon us, when did you ever see a former USSR citizen that was happy, interminably waiting for government provisioning for food, money, healthcare and all the basic essentials to live? Why do you think Germany is ranked as one of the “unhappiest” nations? The French are considered the most impolite and uniformly miserable. And all other EU nations are falling into the abyss and quagmire of socialist inspired bankruptcy, general misery and chaos. This is not a coincidence. A population that is downtrodden and miserable is easily controlled and manipulated. It becomes very lucrative for those in charge, the so called “privileged” class of selected “politburo” members, unions, the “George Soros(es)”, and “politically favored” industries, to impose and support crippling regulations, incessant spending and overburdening taxation and have every average citizen working for the collective “good”. All citizens become disenfranchised and acquiesce to the inevitability of their fate. They question nothing and are maligned if they dare to express anything other than the “party” line. Does this sound all too familiar – look at the recent actions of this inept administration and this insane congress? 

We are sick and tired of being the “cannon fodder” for the socialist experimentation occurring in Washington. We are being stripped of our freedoms, our rights, our livelihoods, our personal property and our dignity. 

The only upward trending that is occurring is horrific:

Our government’s size, control and spending, the national debt, unfunded liabilities, unemployment, taxes, inflation, printing of currency (monetary deflation), dishonesty, corruption, intolerance, concealment, secrecy, bankruptcies, foreclosures, homelessness, poverty, (workplace and other acts of) violence, acts of terrorism, and an unprecedented increase in suicides. 

As I have stated before (re.: “Classified: SECRET” blog), anyone can be a racist, regardless of color, creed, religion, race or gender. We are now witness to a known racist organization, the New Black Panther Party – in clear violation of federal election laws prohibiting intimidation at public polling places. We can all remember the images of the incident at the Fairmount Avenue polling place in Philadelphia, PA, where two New Black Panther Party representatives stood directly in front of entryway doors in paramilitary gear, wielding a night stick. When asked why they were there – they stated to ensure Barack Obama’s election. What puts this on the edge of absurdity is that these individuals now have complete absolution and the endorsement (for future voter intimidation) from the Obama administration and US Attorney General Eric Holder.   Amazing… this is not considered voter intimidation and is fully acceptable to USAG Eric Holder, however, when the question of presenting a valid form of identification at polling places to prevent voter fraud IS considered intimidation. Have we entered the “Twilight Zone”? Can anyone recall the vivid images of armed soldiers at Zimbabwe’s polling places to “ensure” Robert Mugabe’s re-election? Does this mean that our next election cycles we can expect armed neo-nazis, communists, gangs, thugs, and fanatics representing any-and-all lunatic fringe organizations, standing a few feet away from polling place entrances to “ensure the election of their choice”? Can we expect that these activities will be given the same blessing by USAG Eric Holder? 

To my recollection, federal voter law violations, voter intimidation and voter fraud have occurred numerous times in our history as a free republic, however these have almost uniformly been prosecuted to the fullest extent or had massive lawsuits settled in the plaintiff’s favor. We have tough federal election laws in place to guarantee one of our most basic privileges – the right to vote – freely, unimpeded and fearlessly! If we lose this most essential tenant of our democracy, we as a nation are lost!    

It is time for Eric Holder to resign, he has been appointed for less than a year and his injudicious decisions are causing irreparable harm to America and are creating an untenable fragility to our Rule of Law. I cannot even imagine the damage that he could cause in four years. 

UNCONSCIONABLE!!!!

As a prelude to this blog, I have to make a personal comment… I have received numerous email threats since posting “Welcome to the New Republic”. To these misguided and disturbed individuals – EVERYTHING POSTED ON MY BLOG IS BASED UPON FACTUAL EVIDENCE – IT IS THE TRUTH WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Instead of relying on liberal propaganda sites as your only source of information, READ THE FACTS! Go to the GPO (Government Printing Office), OMB (Office of Budget and Management), CBO (Congressional Budget Office), DOC-CB (Department of Commerce – Census Bureau) and numerous other official government sites and look up the actual bills, statistics and references for yourselves, before spreading your lies and venom. Granted a lot of information on these sites is inaccurate or missing, but all U.S. Citizens have the right (and sometimes the duty) to FOIA documents directly from the government, in an attempt to keep this administration and congress honest. If after reading the facts for yourselves, you still feel like you need to threaten me, my body parts, my friends, family and loved ones… BRING IT – but you had better bring A LOT of your liberal friends with you, you will need it!

I am now convinced beyond any doubt: this administration and this congress care nothing about America, our Constitution or the safety of U.S. Citizens. The pronouncement was made to move the most heinous terrorists imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba to U.S. Criminal Courts – granting de facto U.S. rights and privileges previously reserved only for U.S. Citizens. WTF!!!! The Obama administration and specifically, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder have a demonstrable history of unjustified compassion for terrorists, they truly believe that the existence of terrorism is a direct result of the policies of the “evil” Bush/Cheney “regime”. This pronouncement has nothing to do with seeking justice for the 3000+ innocent U.S. Citizens that were murdered on September 11^th 2001. This IS nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to indict the Bush administration for torture and other perceived “crimes” by this administration and congress. ALL legal experts know that as soon as these terrorists step foot on U.S. soil, they will have an open and public forum to spew their vitriol on the families and survivors of the 9/11 attacks. They will, through taxpayer funded defense attorneys, claim that they were tortured and that all evidence obtained through enhanced interrogations is inadmissible, in addition they will claim that they were never advised of their Miranda rights, so therefore any evidence obtained is inadmissible. All they will need is a “bench legislating” liberal Federal Judge desirous to indict Bush administration officials and these terrorists will be granted “time served” sentences and will walk free. They will not only walk free, but they will have the option to sue the U.S. over their alleged “mistreatment”. God grant us the strength and wisdom to survive this administration and this congress!!!   This administration cannot even state the obvious fact that the horrendous murders that occurred at Ft. Hood were an act of terror, perpetrated by a known terrorist sympathizer. Couple this with the FACT that one of President Obama’s first official Presidential Determinations (No. 2009-15 of January 27, 2009), was to grant $20.3M in U.S. taxpayer funds to aid, support and provide migration assistance to Gaza Palestinians (without regard to whether they have known ties to Hamas, Hezbollah or any other terrorist organization). Recent comparative analyses have proven that terrorist suspects detained, questioned and/or arrested on U.S. soil, have used this to legally immigrate to the United States. Additionally, terrorist are now routinely granted their “path to paradise” by the Obama administration, they are relocated from Gitmo and paid (at taxpayer expense) to live on the island paradises of Bermuda (approximately 800 miles off the eastern coast of North Carolina) and Palau (approximately 400 miles from Indonesia). What a travesty of justice!!!! 

Thank you Mr. President! 

First and Foremost – to those who are serving, have served, have bled and have died; our champions, our wounded warriors, our fallen heroes, our veterans - THANK YOU! Nothing that we can do or say can ever repay the debt that we owe you! You walk daily in harm’s way so that we may walk free, you give up your homes and your families so that we can enjoy ours, you sacrifice all so that we can be - we are America and proud to say – Thanks to you all, every single day!  

Midterm elections are less than a year away! A few thoughts to keep in mind as this critical time in US history rapidly approaches:

When liberals took control of Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008, we were assured of the following:

1. A vibrant economy, with lower taxes for the working class and higher taxes for the wealthy evildoers.
2. The most honest, accountable and transparent government in our history.
3. Decisions and laws based upon the will of the people.
4. A truly bipartisan government with no more politics as usual.
5. An end to special interests and lobbyists.
6. No more closed-door sessions and backroom deals.
7. An end to the Bush era “cowboy” diplomacy.

What we ended up with:

1. A nearly collapsed economy, with the dollar devaluated to historic lows, unemployment at historic highs, taxes poised to crush the small business owners who employ nearly 70% of America, thousands of dollars in federal “pass-through” taxes overburdening every working family’s annual budget and no end in sight to our insurmountable federal deficit – the liberal response to this, “we inherited this from the Bush Administration” – even though they have been in total control since 2006.
2. Rampant corruption (e.g.: Moran, Jeffers, Buris, Blogovich, Rangel, Richardson, Dachle, Spitzer, Pelosi, Reed, Dodd, Schumer, Murtha, Frank, Jefferson, Holder, Geithner and the list goes on, ad infinitum – it would be easier to list the few Democrats that have not engaged in illegality, corruption and deceit), extraordinary unaccountability and the most secretive government that has ever existed in our history - the liberal response to this, “move along, there is nothing to see here”.
3. Bills passed in the dead of night, highly secretive committees convene daily and backdoor deals with lobbyists, industries, unions, and questionable organizations (ACORN, SEIU, Soros, et al.) are made without a single thought to the Constitution or consequences to America and our future generations - the liberal response to this, “the good of all Americans are at the heart of every decision”.
4. HA!… partisan politics have achieved DEFCON 4 under this administration and the “no more politics as usual” is a “change” from Washington politics to Chicago style political corruption - the liberal response to this, “we do this for the repressed, the elderly and the children”.
5. Special interests and lobbyist are now writing bills for Congress for clandestine passage of legislation, the only “change” that has occurred is that the process is streamlined and unquestioned - the liberal response to this, “we have a mandate and we know what is best for America”.
6. The closed doors are now routinely locked, not only to keep out Republicans, but all of America - the liberal response to this, “keep your eyes on this hand”.
7. Iran now has nuclear weapons and is in the final stages of perfecting their long-range delivery systems, North Korea is dictating terms and conditions and is threatening war with South Korea and the west if they are not met. Russia and China exploit our weaknesses continuously and encourage world dictators to push our buttons to the point of provocation. And terrorist around the world can smell the blood in the water… where is “cowboy” diplomacy when you need it.   

I truly hate to say “I told you so”, but read my blog “Welcome to the New Republic”, which I wrote in November of 2008. Liberals are exceedingly predictable…

Now for the “Next Big Thing”:

Liberals narrowly avoided getting their hands stuck in the proverbial cookie jar after the 2008 Presidential elections. They have (at least on paper) successfully distanced themselves from the voting fraud and illegality perpetrated by ACORN and their proxy organizations. This was a reprehensible offense and even the liberal mindset realizes the catastrophic consequences if their collusion were to be exposed. ALL demographic statistics, polls and societal experts agree that America is a right-centrist country – nearly 34% of Americans are conservative, with a right-centrist “independent” component of nearly 24% comprising nearly 58% of Americans with a “right leaning” proclivity. Left-centrist Americans comprise nearly 31% of the electorate, while the remaining 11% are considered liberals. With nearly 55% of Americans in the middle ground, add to that the conservative Americans and you have a full 89% of the voting populace. With those numbers against them, liberals have realized that they need to cheat to achieve their goals and implement their Marxist agendas. Hence you have ACORN, massive voter fraud, illegal campaign financing, liberal candidates who routinely pose as socially compassionate right-centrists, conservative candidates who are routinely vilified and now the new manifestation: the DemoRAT. This is not a Rhino (Republican in name only) who is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, this is an ultra-liberal who has infiltrated the GOP. We have seen this in the special election in the New York 23^rd Congressional District. Divide and conquer – the new liberal mantra. DO NOT be fooled! It has worked once and will be attempted again. Question your candidates as to their true nature and listen carefully – remember “Joe the plumber” exposed Obama’s true nature early in the campaign cycle. In addition, cautiously review third party candidates (understand that I am all for a multiple party system to provide greater choice than an often corrupt Democratic candidate or an unimpressive Republican candidate). Quite often these third party candidates are introduced by the DNC to strip right-leaning votes away from the Republican candidate. As an aside - what ever happened to Ralph Nader during the 2008 Presidential elections, is it just me or did he announce his candidacy, receive threats from Rahm Emanuel and then just fall off the map? Enough ranting for the day – Have a safe day and do something nice for a veteran, they have earned it!

Remember: Vote your conscience! Get rid of the Marxists, the corruption and the greed!

For the past ten months we have been inundated with the “blame America” ideology - all that is wrong and evil in the world is America’s fault. The truth is that America does have a sorted past (as does every nation on the planet), however the kindness and generosity that we have shown worldwide is a true testament to the magnanimous nature inherent to our nation. Wherever a disaster strikes, America is first in line to lend support and comfort, whether they be friend or foe. We have fed, clothed, sheltered, provided first-rate medical care, and enormous financial support to nearly every nation on earth. We have opened our doors and our hearts in tribute to our desire for shared liberty and freedom. Well known to all Americans (as well as all nationalities), is the inscription at the base of the Statue of Liberty – “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.  I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”. We as a nation have welcomed immigrants worldwide to come and share in the American Dream. Our bravest and finest have made the ultimate sacrifice, they have bled and died in distant lands for those who will never know their names, yet shared the common desire for the most basic of human rights - freewill. To quote Kahlil Gibran “Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being”, we can rest assured that our fallen soldiers are forever noble and beautiful.

Yet we are a nation divided… the political infighting and self-deprecating rhetoric out of Washington has driven a wedge through our collective spirits. We have polarizing issues that can not be easily resolved, however we are overwhelmingly a nation of compassionate and freedom loving individuals, and the truth is: we have more in common than politicians would like us to believe. Delusional personalities exist on both ends of the spectrum – radical liberals as well as extreme fundamentalists, however the vast majority of Americans find themselves squarely in the middle with a very wide swath of commonality. 

As to the polarizing issues, the Gordian Knot is often an intractable problem and always daunting. Concurrance on some issues may be nearly impossible – however, please let us agree to at least some dispensations: Iraq – whether you agree or disagree with the premise of the war, the fact is that Saddam Hussein, a brutal, repressive and evil dictator (and his exceedingly repressive successors) were removed from power and can no longer endanger the region or the world. Global Warming – the global scientific community is not divided on the fact that the earth is in a warming cycle, however they are sharply divided as to the cause of this trend. If this vast collective intelligence cannot come to an accord, for the sake of reason and logic, do not fall back to the proven collective ignorance of politicians, whose only motivations are power and greed. We can individually, do what is right to preserve our precious resources – earth, sea and sky for our future generations. However, let’s not bankrupt those same future generations in the process. Energy Independence and Clean Energy are not revolutionary or contradictory and are achievable in the near term, if we avail all options. We need immediate relief from our hyper-dependence on OPEC, which means utilization of our own resources and technologies – including nuclear power (fission and (hopefully) fusion), abundant natural gas, vast domestic reserves of oil, CCS coal, solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, fuel cells, and a vast untapped array of other energy sources. Please, if we are eyeball deep in the quagmire of OPEC dependence it is extremely difficult to see the reasonable alternatives. Illegal Immigration - America was built on immigration, it has been the impetus that has propelled our nation, in a relatively short time, to the most prosperous and powerful country on the planet. I can honestly say that I do not know of a single American that opposes legal immigration. However, I also do not know of a single nation that does not protect, monitor and control the influx of materials and personnel coming into their country. With no border protections in place and a blind eye turned towards illegal border crossings, no sovereign nation can survive. Let’s not be naive, every single day, hardened criminals, drugs, weapons, dormant diseases, gang members, and yes even terrorists cross our borders along with the well intentioned albeit misguided, hardworking people seeking a better life in our country. Without transitioning through our normal immigration procedures, we have no way of determining friend or foe. This is not rocket science… we do not need hundreds of miles of fencing that is proven ineffective, looks “wrong” for a freedom loving nation and is cost prohibitive. We currently have the technology that can detect ANYTHING that crosses our border, above or below ground. We need a smart grid approach to deploying these sensors and increasing the border patrol by approximately 500% (with unemployment affecting nearly 60,000,000 Americans, I don’t think staffing will be a problem). This will slow and ultimately abate the illegal and unmonitored crossings. The approximately 20 to 30 million illegal immigrants in this country now can be provided with an option, either register (biometrically) with US ICE or face future deportation. Those who do register will be offered a temporary work visa that is effective for 3 to 6 months (after which, a determination will be made to either provide a visa extension, a path to legal immigration, or removal). We can still be a compassionate nation, while protecting ourselves from those who would do us harm. 

There are numerous other unresolved polarization issues that face our nation, however I do not have the space (or for that matter the answers) in this forum to address them. However I would like to speak to one final issue, which is perhaps the most polarizing and has affected me personally on diverse occasions. Racism – it is an ugly word and yes it does exist. I am of two races – Caucasian (European) and Native American and I have experienced racism in its worst manifestations. I truly believe that we as a nation have made tremendous strides toward eliminating racism, however there are elements of American society and all societies the world over that will not move one inch from their racist footings. Xenophobia has many forms and faces, it is not just color, creed, religion, race or gender bias. ANYONE can be a racist, regardless of color, creed, religion, race or gender. Education and parity are the only effective methods of combating racism, and the first step is identification. NO ONE, regardless of who they are, what they believe in, or how they choose to lead their lives is beneath you.  However, I must address a fallacy that some imprudent politicians believe and frequently excoriate America over.  Check your facts before spewing vitriol:  America did not invent racism or slavery, they have existed for thousands of years before the concept of America. We fought a civil war to end slavery in which more Americans lost their lives than in all combined wars since. This was a horrible price to pay to eradicate a horrendous condition that we all wish had never been part of our history. We have come a long way, and America is a very diverse nation – African Americans comprise nearly 15% of the American population, Latinos and Hispanic Americans comprise nearly 20% of the American population, Asian Americans comprise nearly 10% of the American population – combined this is nearly 50% of the American population. We are all part of this truly remarkable American experience and though we may from time to time have political, ideological or cultural differences, we are ALL Americans. 

I know I have rambled and ranted excessively in this blog, but if you take anything away from this please remember the following:        

Our nation was founded on the Constitution – the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Rule of Law:

1.) All were created equally, and shall stand as such at the end,

2.) We are endowed with unalienable rights, including Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,

3.) Respect and treat others as you would like to be.

A Wakeup Call… A clarion alarm is sounding in the distance and we Americans are NOT responding. Our government is intentionally misleading us (what a surprise) on an unprecedented scale!  This administration and congress cannot provide any semblance of accurate unemployment numbers (the DOL is reporting just under 10% national unemployment, when states, economists and experts are stating (emphatically) that the actual numbers are nearly 17 – 23% unemployment rates nationally).  This administration and congress cannot provide any semblance of accurate federal deficit numbers (the administration is stating that our current deficit is running about $1.2 Trillion, and that the Bush administration is solely responsible for this deficit (an outright fabrication), when in fact the CBO, OMB, economists and experts are stating (emphatically) that our current federal deficit numbers are running over $10 Trillion (historically unparalleled).  This administration and congress cannot provide any semblance of accurate economic recovery information (the administration is reporting that nearly 500,000 - 1,000,000 jobs have been “created or saved” since January, when all the experts are stating that number is only 25,000 – 30,000 federal jobs that have been created (at taxpayer expense), and little to no activity has occurred in the private sector.  

State of the Unions

Unions have become nothing more than the corrupt political arm of American industry. These massive nationwide organizations are endemic examples of inefficiencies, fraud, waste and corruption that have contributed significantly to the collapse of some of the largest American industries.   Union bosses “are far more interested in acquiring and projecting political power than they are in representing the long-term best interests of their members¹”. Who can forget the infamous collapse of the U.S. airliner industry (spurred on by relentless strikes and chokeholds by the airline unions, the subsequent takeover by unions and the rapid collapse of our largest air carriers, United, Eastern, USAir, PanAm… ad infinitum). The parallels and juxtapositions with the massive federalization of the U.S. automakers, financial institutions, educational institutions, manufacturing industries and the soon-to-be takeover of the healthcare industry are all too familiar. Those concerns that are not already dominated by unions will be forced to unionize. 

My assertion that labor unions in the U.S. are in violation of antitrust laws (“antitrust/antimonopoly: laws and regulations; designed to protect trade and commerce from unfair business practices”), is absolutely founded in fact. These massively corrupt unions (UAW, AFL-CIO, SEIU, NEA, et al.), are completely unregulated, no one (especially the ultraliberal dominated federal government) is watching the misuse, illegal misdirection, considerable unlawful political influencing, and Rico Law (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) violations that are customarily perpetrated by union leadership with union dues and pension funds. Unions routinely destroy peoples lives and livelihoods, set policy in Washington, through illegal lobbying and political corruption, influence national and international trade agreements, and condemn American industry to the slow, painful death of incipient inefficiencies and the inability to compete openly with foreign industries. Unions are an absolute monopoly that establishes a political agenda by which all members, potential members and applicants must adhere to or be completely ostracized, fired, blacklisted and in some instances – disappear. The irony of this is that these activities that union bosses are currently engaged in are exactly what the first unions were formed to combat - corrupt industry monopolies and practices. Please understand that the vast majority of union members are hardworking, honest American citizens that want nothing more than to make a decent living, and provide for the betterment of their families. These members do not condone the corrupt actions of the union leadership, however they must “go along, or get out”. How did our unions become so convoluted?   These conditions and circumstances are (unfortunately) embraced, condoned and absolutely encouraged by this administration and congress. They know categorically that the union leadership consistently provides millions of liberal votes and a nearly insurmountable voting block in certain states. However the hypocrisy by this administration that the existing healthcare fraud, waste, illegality and inefficiencies are more than ample reason to completely teardown, overhaul and reform the American healthcare system, whereas the same conditions that exist in our unions are completely tolerable. What a sad state of affairs and a complete mockery of our representative republic. This administration has stated emphatically, that any large (financial) institution that can adversely influence the economy will be heavily regulated and controlled by the government. However, these massive unions adversely affect considerable portions of the US economy and directly impinge upon tens of millions of American lives, yet they are free (and encouraged) to continue with unchecked and unimpeded corruption, greed, inefficiencies and violence. Where is the justice in that?  The ONLY way out of this is for the millions of honest union members to stand up and demand accountability of the union bosses and vote corruption out of our unions and Washington! The power is yours, use it wisely…  

I am not a conspiracy theorist – however after creating this blog and posting my ramblings, I’ve lost my job as a government contractor. I have not been able to find employment since, and have gone through stress, depression and frustration over how screwed-up this economy has become. I know of numerous other conservative leaning, private sector citizens who have lost their government related jobs and cannot find gainful employment. An acquaintance of mine believes the government is maintaining a “do not hire” database through e-Verify, but I think this is outside of the realm of reality – even for this administration. I hope that your experiences have been better than mine. Let me know. Thank you all and God Bless America!

Let’s get REAL!

The truth is: the healthcare debate IS NOT about insuring the 14 – 40 million (depending on if you are including 20 – 25 million illegal aliens) currently uninsured. This debate is about implementing a new mammoth federal bureaucracy that will require literally millions of new federal employees to administrate and will have absolute discretionary control over 20% of the total US economy. This is about absolute power and unlimited funding to forward an increasingly Marxist agenda. Guaranteed, within one year of the implementation of this program the government’s unfunded liability deficit will burgeon beyond calculation. Once this new federal bureaucracy is in place – combined with the government’s mandatory and rapidly expanding unionization of the US manufacturing, education, medical, energy and services market segments – an insurmountable Democratic party voting block will be created. We will no longer have a viable government for the people and by the people, it will be “the ‘gentle hand’ of those intellectual and anointed few guiding the unwashed and uneducated masses”. Beware!

In good conscience, we are well meaning Americans, Democrats, Republicans and Independents that want to provide a “shielding” system for the most vulnerable in our society. However, many Americans are being deceived by the false premise of this healthcare reform and are blindly following this path with a predetermined end that is lined with the proverbial “good intentions” (remember -strange, but true - the stark similarities between Jim Jones' socialist Utopia and universal healthcare in the People's Temple). Become Aware!

The facts are: that our government has bankrupted Social Security by continuously pillaging Social Security funds for “discretionary” spending not related to retirement or disability (remember this is the same reprehensible crime committed by Ken Lay at Enron). Many in our government are praising brutal dictators as enlighten, compassionate and intelligent leaders (Hitler’s followers used similar semantics), in an effort to make a socialist ideology palatable to the general public (remember the former Soviet Union, where the only equality that existed was the misery shared by the proletariat - the working class). Our government is spending at an unprecedented rate with no end in sight, all experts and economists agree this is unsustainable and will have disastrous results (remember our fundamental federal law on the never-to-exceed ceiling for government deficit spending – it is no longer enforceable). If healthcare reform is passed in its current state make no mistake a new federal tax will be levied on ALL working class citizens to pay for the reforms and the approximate 2 million new federal employees required to implement and administrate this program (the Social Security Administration requires nearly 70,000 federal employees and is nowhere near the size or scope of this healthcare reform). Your federal withholding taxes currently include: FED MED/EE – Medicare Tax, FED OASDI/EE – Social Security Tax and the soon to be FED HLC/EE – Healthcare Tax. 

Our government is currently overrun with radical socialist and Marxist leaning politicians and un-elected officials. These individuals do not care about the average citizen and even less about our Constitution and Rule of Law (remember our US History and the tens of thousands of American Service personnel that died defending this nation from communist and fascist aggression). 

The presumption that a perceived Social Conscience can negate a complete lack of Personal Conscience or morality is evident in the rampant corruption and misconduct that pervades our government. We truly have a shadow government with laws, deals and agreements being made outside of the purview of the public, in the dead of night and intentionally ignored by the majority of the media. This is an “any means to obtain the end” mentality and Americans will suffer the end results for generations to come (remember Lord Acton’s dictum: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”).    Be Concerned!

If this debate was about keeping down cost and insuring the uninsured we would be discussing:

1.)    A privately run, government funded program for providing medical insurance to those who cannot afford it on their own. Insurers currently have comprehensive plans which average about $2000/yr. This would provide coverage for 20 million Americans for approximately $40 billion (not the $1 trillion in current healthcare reform cost estimates). These costs would be significantly reduced once a baseline is established and competitive markets emerge for the massive 20 million customer base.

2.)    Eliminate insurer bias and restrictions for pre-existing conditions.

3.)    Provide continuation options for loss or change of job status without the prohibitive costs of COBRA.

4.)    Eliminate the significant discrepancies between what costs an insurer will pay a healthcare provider or facility and what that provider or facility charges patients.

5.)    Reform federal and State laws restricting interstate competition among insurers, thus creating a vast portability pool of competition among national providers.

6.)    Implement effective fraud, waste and abuse elimination practices in the current Medicare/Medicaid/VHA systems (why not the whole federal government?).

7.)    Implement tort reform.

8.)    Drive down medical administrative costs by proposing a highly secure national   e-medical database that provides standards and open architecture that all medical facilities and healthcare providers can use. National (HIPPA) standards were established, but never fully completed or fully implemented.

9.)     Automate the system! 

Effectively implementing just these 9 steps would drive down healthcare costs and insurance premiums, provide medical care for those who need it, allow our healthcare system to continue to implement the most innovative medical advancements in the world, would keep healthcare choices personal, would not over burden our healthcare system, and would not bankrupt the American taxpayer.

What it would not allow for is unlimited funding for the insane spending of an out-of-control government.  

AMERICA - LET’S GET REAL! Our government is lying to us on an historic and unprecedented scale! The time for deception and misinformation is over! Become an informed, very concerned and involved citizen! The choice is ours to make.
