For those of you who don't know it already, something to think about before you walk into that booth to cast your vote on Tuesday Nov. 2: Your taxes are going up and you can find out how much right here.
Who do you have to thank for this? Barack Obama and his Merry Band of Middle Class Robin Hoods -- robbing from the Middle Class to spread the wealth around. These are the folks who stubbornly refused to stop this tax increase even though The Messiah, Barack Obama, self-proclaimed Master of the Universe, has loudly proclaimed for months now that Americans who earn less than $200,000 a year "won't pay a penny more" in taxes. Have you heard Obama out there lately loudly proclaiming his commitment to keeping tax rates the same as they are now? Didn't think so. And so payroll managers all over the country are preparing to foist the massive tax increase brought to you courtesy of Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi onto Middle Class paychecks come January 1, 2011. How massive? Check the chart.
Just for fun, let's check the chart together. Single and earning $40,000? Get ready to pay another $160 a month. Married with the same income? $140 a month extra. Maybe you earn a little more. Twice as much? Well, congratulations, buddy. You're rich and you surely should be able to afford that roughly $450 extra a month out of your check if you're married. But if you earn $80,000 a year and get divorced, your hit is about $160 a month LESS at that income. Why? Because at $80,000 a year (most of you will agree that this is hardly "rich") you're rich enough to get dinged by the vanishing correction that eliminated the marriage penalty. Yes that evil George Bush's tax cuts not only lowered income taxes for everyone, they eliminated a little quirk in the tax code that charged married couples a higher tax rate than single people above a certain income level. Another thing to keep in mind: If you're married, we're only talking about one of the incomes in a two-earner family. If your spouse earns roughly the same as you do a year, double your tax increase. Even if he or she earns less than you, they'll be taking a hit just like you will.
Multiple studies have shown that 70% of Middle Class households essentially live paycheck to paycheck, largely because of the horrendous tax burden they already bear. And middle class households make up the vast majority of American households. (Average per capita income $46,400 a year). Only you know your family's income and financial picture, but take a look at the chart and consider this. What do you provide for your family for $170 a month or $200 a month or $450 a month that you will have to do without in order to pay your new higher tax bill brought to you courtesy of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats.
If you love your liberty and your income, pass this on. If you don't need that extra $160, $180 or $450 a month, go ahead and vote Democrat. They'll love to spend that extra cash you don't need.

Bush Lied ... Wait, I Guess He Didn't After All
Well, here's one less line of liberal BS we'll have to listen to: Apparently, we're finally getting around to admitting what the rational among us have known for years now. There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq!

Bye Bye Mortgage Interest Deduction
Or at least this in being considered by the "bipartisan" deficit reduction commission:

And Obama promised middle class folks their taxes weren't going up. What do you expect when you elect a bald-faced liar and a communist president?The mortgage-interest deduction and other sacrosanct tax breaks are on the deficit commission's table as it works toward its deadline of providing a set of recommendations on balancing the budget by 2015.
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that hugely popular tax breaks are part of the commission's consideration since they add up to about $1 trillion in potential government revenue.
Besides the mortgage-interest deductions, the newspaper reports that the child tax credits and pre-tax spending by employers for health insurance could also be killed.

Obama Lied, Tax Cuts Died
Actually, not even tax cuts -- merely a continuation of the current rates. And hold on to your hats everyone making $250,000 or less annually, your taxes are taking a huge jump and there's nothing congress can do about it. These leftist cowards are too late. Yes running back home in a futile attempt to save their sorry asses is more important than the financial well-being of their middle-class constituents. So beginning January 1st, your taxes ARE going up no matter what they decide to do. Yes, even yours busboy making $20,000 a year. In fact, here's what the Associated Press has to say about the average middle class family:
What was it that our Liar In Chief has said roughly a million times during the entire fraudulent 2008 election campaign and right through nearly two years of his miserable presidential term? If you make less than $200,000 (or was that $250,000 or $150,000) a year your taxes won't go up a penny? Great, The Fallen Messiah will swoop in to save the day! If cowardly congressman won't stop tax hikes, the great post-partisan president will, won't he? After all, he promised! And the financial well-being of tens of millions of middle class families is certainly more important than the "rights" of a relative handful of rogue military personnel who have an uncontrollable urge to stand up and publicly declare their affection for anal sex -- something Obama also promised to defend.
It is to laugh. Protecting public declarations of an affinity for anal sex is something Obama actually cares about. Pretending to care about the cares and concerns of the average middle class peasant -- namely jobs and tax cuts -- is just something he HAD to do to get elected. Anybody who actually thinks he cares about tax cuts is probably gullible enough to vote for him for president again and recent polls show that this group is shrinking by the hour. In other words, the Left's Fallen (and Falling) Messiah cares more about anal sex than tax cuts. After all, you hear him out there nearly every day reinforcing his support of open sodomy in the military. But when have you ever heard him weigh in on preventing the looming tax hikes for the middle class? I guess a president has to have his priorities and we know where this president's priorities are.
When it comes to tax cuts actions speak louder than words. Do Obama's actions over the past couple of weeks indicate that he's fighting hard for tax cuts for the "middle class"? They don't and he won't. Because the president who developed his ideology at the knee of his mentor Frank Marshall Davis the communist, doesn't care that everyone is going to get their taxes raised. In fact, that's the way Mr. "everyone's best if we spread the wealth around" likes it. If he can't exclude "the rich" from tax cuts, he doesn't care to give anyone a tax cut. And according to the amount my taxes will be going up, I must be "rich".
But I'm not rich and anyone with a family income in the range the AP listed who has a couple of kids and a house in the 'burbs can tell you that it takes every penny of that money to provide your family a decent lifestyle. And now anywhere from $2,900 to $4,500 a year more of that money is going to feed the beast. What is the typically middle class family going to have to give up or cut back on to make this payment to fund the Obama/Reid/Pelosi largess? Well, $2,900 a year might be a modest car payment on a used car. Too bad for the used car salesman who could've had a sale. $2,900 a year might be the average amount a middle class family gives to their church. $2900 to $4500 is about the cost of a decent vacation for a family of four. This money, spent in any one of millions ways ripples it's way through the economy impacting numerous businesses, jobs and people. Now take $2,900 to $4,500 times tens of millions of households and consider the impact of taking that money out of the economy to feed that out of control beast called the federal government -- an entity that produces nothing and wastes hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
"Spreading the wealth around" is what it's all about, in the final analysis and screw the middle class if their lifestyle is reduced because this is the Marxist's way. Fifty-two (and change) percent of voters were so captivated by the media phenomenon that was Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign -- so captivated that they conveniently forgot (if it ever even registered) that this guy in his words and deeds is a Marxist who has demonstrated his contempt for our capitalist system and the individual prosperity it creates and continues to do so on a daily basis. So it should come as no surprise that Dear Leader Chairman Maobama (as Mike Church likes to call him) says nary a word about the fact that you and I are going to be getting hit with huge tax increases at the beginning of the year. He never cared about tax cuts, so blaming this in congress is a convenient way to deflect the blame. "Not raising taxes" was just another of the manifold lies the Liar in Chief told to get elected. Hope you weren't planning on buying a modest used car, making a minor home improvement or taking a family vacation next year, because Barack "Karl Marx" Obama is going to be doing a little "wealth spreading" with your cash next year. Isn't socialism great?

A typical family of four with a household income of $50,000 a year would have to pay $2,900 more in taxes in 2011, according to a new analysis by Deloitte Tax LLP, a tax consulting firm. The same family making $100,000 a year would see its taxes rise by $4,500.
Wealthier families face even bigger tax hikes. A family of four making $500,000 a year would pay $10,800 more in taxes. The same family making $1 million a year would get a tax increase of $53,200.
The estimates are based on total household income, including wages, capital gains and qualified dividends. The estimated tax bills take into account typical deductions at each income level.
Democrats have been arguing for much of the past decade that tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 under former President George W. Bush provided a windfall for the wealthy. Those tax cuts expire at the end of the year, setting the stage for a high-stakes debate just before congressional elections in November.

Home Foreclosures: Cutting Through the Crap
A lot has been made over the past few days about the revelation that "flaws in paperwork" have caused Bank of America and other banks to halt home foreclosures. Let's cut the crap here and answer the question who does this help?
The mortgage lender (usually a bank)? How does it help the bank to continue to have to hold a depreciating asset they don't even want longer than they would ordinarily have to? This action is going to keep more properties vacant and tied up in foreclosure proceedings even longer.
The "homeowner"? What homeowner? I can call myself a homeowner -- answer that question "do you own your own home or rent?" by saying I own my own home, I can pay outrageous taxes to the county every six months, anyone anywhere in the world can find my little slice of the American dream in my name on my county assessor's web page and know exactly how much it is worth. But the simple fact of the matter is that I'm not an actual homeowner until I hold a free and clear deed in my hand. Until then, I'm just a debtor to a bank that holds majority interest in the home I live in -- majority interest because if I miss any of those payments (including the last one) for a period of time, they can come in and reclaim their property and resell it to someone who is presumably more capable than I am of paying the monthly mortgage. That's the way it has always worked until the last couple of years or so when we've decided that it was necessary to turn this relationship on it's head and deprive the mortgage lender of their ability to recover their money from the deadbeat without be portrayed as a heel.
Did I say deadbeat? Yes, I did. We all acknowledge that there are a certain percentage of home buyers in foreclosure right now who are truly hard up. Thanks to the Obama Administration and its minions in both houses of congress, this percentage is a lot higher than it normally is. But the majority of Americans (and others -- legal aliens, illegal aliens etc.) who find themselves in mortgage trouble knew they couldn't afford the house they were buying in the first place and simply just weren't honest with themselves about their financial situation. Sure, there were banks out there offering "interest only" mortgages where you pay $250 a month on a $300,000 home then refinance after five years. But at some point the bill comes due and it's the responsibility of the borrower to realize that. It's not the evil lender who covered up the fact that you can't really buy a $300,000 house for $250 a month, it's the idiot who convinced himself (or herself) that they could afford it when the $250 a month payment went up by 800% in five years. Liberals like to portray this person and folks who can't afford their house payment on top of the two car payments, the boat payment the RV payment and $50,000 worth of credit card debt as "victims". If these folks are victims of anything they are victims of their own stupidity and their utter inability to be honest with themselves about their financial situation.
But there are "flaws in the paperwork". So what. In this mortgage lender/deadbeat relationship there is only one thing that matters: Is the deadbeat several month's behind in payments and is there any possibility that they are going to be able to get their mortgage current in the foreseeable future. If the answers to these questions respectively are yes and no, then the best option for everyone is to foreclose on the house. This gets the "home owner" out from under a house they can't afford and allows the mortgage lender to attempt to recover their debt by reselling the house to someone who can actually afford it.
But the rest of us benefit from this benevolence, don't we? After all even though we are current on our house payments and have a reasonable expectation that we will be for the foreseeable future, there but for the grace of God go I. If we're ever in situation where we can't pay our mortgage, we'd want the lender work with us as well right? Truthfully and as painful as it might be, if I ever find myself unable to make my mortgage payment month after month I -- as is the case with anyone else who finds themselves in this situation -- would be a whole lot better off to try to unload the house and either downsize into something I can afford or go back to being a renter than to struggle on month after month trying to make a payment I have no realistic expectation of ever being able to make. Contrary to what everyone has apparently come to expect over the last 30 years or so, falling on hard times doesn't make you a "victim". However painful it may be, it's a part of the American experience. Living in the greatest country God gave man doesn't doesn't give you an automatic entitlement to onward and upward prosperity and it doesn't guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen to you. All you are guaranteed in this country is your freedom and liberty -- "victim" status and a death grip on a house you can't afford shouldn't be a part of the bargain. Unfortunately, entitlement seems to be becoming more and more a part of the American experience these days. And that's a bad thing.

Attorney General Moonbeam's Phone Troubles
Jerry "Governor Moonbeam" Brown has lived 72 years, served two terms as governor of California,was mayor of Oakland for years, has been California Attorney General for three years now, and after all this, he apparently never learned how to hang up a phone. No wonder everything this guy touches turns to crap. Perhaps its all the alleged drug use. If Californians elect this guy governor, they deserve everything they get. Yes, it'll be time to cut the state loose and let it float over to China.
But let's hope the fine citizens of the state of California have more sense than this. Meg Whitman is no conservative, but she knows how to run a company and California needs someone who's been responsible for the bottom line of a private company and been successful at it to turn their financial mess around. Chris Christy she ain't, but she's a hell of a lot better than their alternative.
Which brings us back to Governor Moonbeam, the guy who is chiefly responsible for the mess California is in today having set the stage for it better than 30 years ago. Because this idiot doesn't know how to use a phone, Whitman has a gift in the form of the Brown camp calling her a "whore" that should help take the focus off the trumped up illegal housekeeper scandal thrown at her by rabid commie lib Gloria Allred. Unlike this apparent set-up of Meg Whitman and Allred's sacrificing an illegal alien on the altar of the prospect of another gubernatorial term for her buddy Jerry, the Brown camp can't even remotely connect Whitman's campaign to "whoregate". Unless, of course, Governor Moonbeam is going to claim that Meg's campaign forced him to forget how to hang up the phone, then compounded the problem by forcing his aid to call Whitman a whore.
If Brown can call lie about Whitman and call her a whore I can tell the truth about Brown and call him a dumbass. Let's all hope this scandal torpedoes dumbass Jerry "Governor Moonbeam" Brown's campaign. As I said before, if they elect him governor, flush the whole state -- it's done.

The Obamacare Nightmare Continues ...
And will continue to until the whole thing is repealed. But the next shoe to drop is the waivers. In other words, we know everyone's pissed off about this so issue temporary waivers that expire a year before Obama's re-election bid so that the segment of the public that has the collective attention span of a flea will forget about this before November 2012.
This is simple and exactly as us conservatives predicted: Obamacare (or Hillarycare -- remember they tried this back in 1993 and I still have the glossy bound 1300+ page plan to prove it -- or any other form of socialized medicine) is an unconstitutional intrusion on our liberties that will bankrupt the country and ruin the best health care system in the world. Obama knows this and only cares about it right now because it is a prime reason his party's chances of keeping their majority in the House (and maybe the Senate) are in the crapper. So he grants waivers of the inevitable -- the bankrupting of health insurers and major corporations as they struggle to cope with the mandates. All this serves to do is briefly postpone the total dependence and despair that is the goal of Obama's brand of Fabian Socialism. If he thought he could get by with it and the Democrats weren't staring one of the worst congressional defeats in better than 100 years square in the face there would be no waivers -- save the ones for the unions because they are his buddies.
And of course another thing us conservatives have been saying since before this jackass (in the interest of proper attribution, I have to credit Rush Limbaugh for popularizing this moniker for The Fallen Messiah) was elected president is that nothing that he and the super majority he has in both houses do will do anything to improve the economy. Obamacare, Obama cap and tax, Obama tax increases: They all add up to economic uncertainty that crushes entrepreneurship and creates an environment where businesses don't want to hire because they don't know what other Hugo Chavez-like mandate may come down from Hugo's protege that will tighten the "boot on their necks" to paraphrase an Obama Administration official. We won't have positive job growth unless and until we throw these bums out on their asses.

The Rats, (and Assorted Weasels) are Deserting a Sinking Ship
James Jones ain't a rat by any stretch of the imagination. He's an honorable Marine who served in Vietnam and put in 40 years in service to our country. One can only surmise that the reason why he stuck around the Obama Administration as long as he did was because of his great love of country and wanting to do everything he could for the folks who give it their all to defend our liberty ever day. But apparently, he's had enough. Jones is leaving his job as national security adviser leaving the job to a Democrat political hack who hates the military. Just the person to be advising the president of the United States on all matters of national security. But since The Former Messiah shares Tom Donilon's hatred for the military, they'll both be in good company. Too bad the rest of us that depend on a secure nation won't be.
Jones follows a weasel, a hog, and what could only be described as a tired rat-looking creature - both of the latter who profess to be "economists" (using the term loosely) out the door.
Can everybody sing "the wheels on the (Obama) bus are coming off, coming off, coming off .....

Conservatives Predicted It: Obamacare Already is Causing Higher Costs and Less Choice
I hate to say I told you so but ....
Perhaps the most blatant lie of the entire Obamacare scam was this:
You'll recall this line, uttered by the Liberty Terrorist who is the president of the United States during a weekly radio address in July of 2009 and repeated hundreds of times by The Messiah himself and various administration flunkies over the course of this whole Obamacare debacle. Where is the leftist media now that Obamacare has predictably begun to unravel the best health care system in the world? Now that we have proof positive that all the assertions they made about health care availability, portability, ease of access and cost are proving to be lies?
What am I talking about? Well in general I'm talking about the dozens of stories we've heard over the past couple of weeks about how health insurers are gearing up to meet Obamacare mandates -- raising premiums in anticipation of increased costs, scaling down plans and in some cases, dropping plans all together.
Take the 1500 employees of the health care division of Principal Financial Group in Des Moines Iowa, for example. You see, Principal Financial Group is a minor player in the health insurance business and they've seen the writing on the wall. They realize that complying with the Obamacare mandates is going to bankrupt them so they are getting out of the health insurance business. And not only won't these 1500 employees be able to keep the health plan they like, they won't be able to keep the jobs they presumably like. At the end of the year, they are out of work. Principal has sold their health business to a bigger player -- United Health Care. Their business is health care and they really have no choice: If they are to stay in business they have to try to make it under the Obamacare mandates.
The loss of 1500 jobs as a direct result of Obamacare is tragic. These are just the first wave of tens of thousands more. But what of the tens of thousands of people covered by a Principal health care plan? My family is included in this group. We're happy with our health insurance plan, but we're not going to be able to keep it. And our premiums sure as hell aren't going down (name me one person who HAS seen their premiums go down). In fact, my family and thousands of others don't know exactly what our health insurance will look like after the first of the year.
There are obvious economies of scale when your company owns its own health care plan. Those are going away at the first of the year when Principal goes out of the health care business. United Health Care has some great plans. Years ago I administered one for my employer. But you can bet that any plan Principal Financial Group has to buy for its employees is going to cost it more than one it owns as a self-funded plan. So tens of thousands -- perhaps hundreds of thousands -- of Principal employees, their dependents and other Americans covered by Principal health plans sit and wait to find out what their health insurance will look like at the beginning of the year. So much for "If you like your health plan, you can keep it, the only thing that will change is that you’ll pay less.” But then, those of us who have been using our critical thinking skills already knew from well before they shoved this sham "universal health care" bill through in the dark of the night that like everything else that is liberalism, it was a blatant lie.
Principal isn't the only one dropping their health care plans. Word came out Friday that McDonald's - perhaps the most vilified company in the U.S. besides Wal Mart - may have to drop their health insurance plans as well.
And in fact, this is the ultimate goal of Obamacare. All of the predictions us conservatives have made about Obamacare have been proven true thusfar:
1. Obama said you'd be able to keep your health insurance if you like it. That's been proven a lie.Tell the folks covered by Principal Midland's Choice and other Principal plans that "you'll be able to keep it".
2. Obama said your health insurance will cost you less. That's been proven a lie. Health care costs are actually going up. Just ask the Congressional Budget Office.
3. Obama said people won't lose coverage due to this unconstitutional government mandate. That's a lie.
4. Obama said Obamacare will increase access to health care. That's a lie.
Here's another thing that will be proven true over the next few years if we're not able to reverse all or some of Obamacare: By 2014, as is the goal of the legislation, most health insurers will be out of business. Their plans will be replaced by something of a government/business hybrid through the last health insurer standing which will probably be some form of a huge Blue Cross conglomerate in partnership with Big Brother. At that point, we'll have the nightmare us conservatives have warned you about -- the same crappy health care Great Britain has only worse. We hate to say we told you so but ....

Obama Gets An Earful From A "Rich" Guy
The Fallen Messiah came to a "middle class" home in Iowa the other day. As has been increasingly the case in this campaign season, he's finding that the "hope and change" message of two years ago doesn't play in Peoria very well any more considering the change is exactly the opposite of what the Former Messiah promised. If it don't play in Peoria anymore, it sure as hell don't play in Des Moines. Des Moines is where David Greenspon has owned and run a small business for the last thirty years. He's worked his ass off to make a good living for himself and provide employment for dozens of people. And he had a few words for the Exalted Ex-Messiah -- a guy who wouldn't know how to create a job if it walked up and bit him on the ass:
What was Obama's response to hearing what actually creates jobs from a man who has spent the past thirty years busting his ass every day to create them? If you watched the above video, you know: He didn't want to hear it. He flat cut David Greenspon, owner of Competitive Edge in Des Moines, Iowa, employer of 100 people, off. This pompous jackass who hasn't created a job in his entire life -- the man who has devoted the majority of his 49 years to whining and complaining about people who DO create jobs -- is so committed to his rigid leftist tax and spend ideology that advice from a real person who has actually created jobs just doesn't register with him. It does not compute.
If you listen to Greenspon's story, as he told it in numerous interviews after his close encounter with the Chicago Marxist who unfortunately occupies the White House, it's not a whole lot different than the millions of other small businesspeople who create 80% of the jobs in this country. He started his business nearly 30 years ago when he was in his mid-20s. It was probably just him and a couple of other people at first. Eventually it grew to employ 100 people -- 100 people who are able to provide a home for their families and put food on the table because back in his mid-20s Greenspon put everything on the line for his dream.
As Greenspon pointed out to The Anointed One, just because a small business person may carry $1 million in inventory, several hundred thousand in accounts receivables and posses several million in property and equipment does not mean that person is a "millionaire". As Greenspon pointed out, he doesn't take money out of his business. He has paid himself the same salary for 10 years and plows the profits back in to the business to grow it. Yet, he is one of the people that The Anointed One and the Vice Buffoon say they "can't afford" to give $100,000 (in Greenspon's case, probably less) to. Never mind the fact that they aren't giving Greenspon or any other small business person anything and these folks aren't asking for anything. All they want is to be able to keep THEIR money -- money they rightfully earned -- so they can keep growing their businesses, employing more people, growing the economy and reducing unemployment.
Capitalism, what a concept. A concept that is completely lost on the Marxist, Socialists and assorted Communists now in charge of the executive branch and both houses of congress.

In Praise of Christine O'Donnell
I knew I had seen her somewhere.
When I heard her name as the longshot Tea Party candidate from Delaware, I thought it was familiar, but I just couldn't place who she might be. Then, when I saw her picture, it became clear--and happily so.
Listen up, conservatives. If you don't vote for this woman to go to the Senate, you might as well tear up your membership card. Christine O'Donnell is the real deal--a true-blue, traditional values, strong defense, minimal government Reagan Republican. She is the change you've been waiting for, as the President might say of almost anyone else. And Bill Maher can prove it.
O'Donnell did 22 episodes of "Politically Incorrect" in the politically radioactive 90s, the era of impeachment, when all of politics seemed to be personal destruction. She went toe to toe with rabid liberals, celebrities three times her Q-rating, and Maher himself. Right now, she has more television time under her belt--and certainly more debate practice--than most sitting Senators have by the end of their first term.
What's more, she never gives up, and she never compromises a principle to get along. The clip that's caused the current kerfuffle is a perfect example. In all the breathless media hysteria shrieking about whether she was a witch, whether that's forgivable, and whether the Tea Party troglodytes will recoil in primitive horror and burn her at the stake--the entire context of her remarks has been ignored.
First, here's the clip:
Let's start with Point One: what is she doing there? Answer: Christine O'Donnell is on Maher's show as the Founder and President of The S.A.L.T.--the Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth. Focus, now. She's the head of a Christian ministry--not a witch.
Point Two: What are they talking about? Answer: It is the end of October. The discussion is about Halloween. Maher wants to use her as his Christian pinata so he can accuse believers of intolerance and stupidity because of their skittishness about the Wiccan holiday and other occult things. But O'Donnell won't let the group get away with it. She stands up for the proposition that there are real witches, and messing around in the occult can be a real bad idea. To the howls of derision from panel and audience, she gives what we call her "testimony"--that she knows whereof she speaks because she "dabbled into witchcraft." It is an endearing moment, one of many in which Maher solicits her fundamentalist input, knowing she will say things that shock his over-tolerant relativist audience's sensibilities, and she does. (Just FYI, another great moment is when she tells "psychic" James Van Praagh--in the sweetest yet firmest way possible--that he is "deceived.")
Point Three: Since she is a religious leader at the time, why don't we read in history of the great occult scandal of Christine O'Donnell? Answer: Because there's nothing the least bit alarming about it, then or now. Christians of the "SALT" variety live for this kind of confession. The Christian world is full of "used to be's"--"I used to be a drug addict," "I used to be a prostitute," "I used to be a thief." The Apostle Paul is perhaps the most famous "used to be" of all, having persecuted and killed the followers of the One he became one of the greatest servants of. This does not tarnish her Christian credentials--it polishes them.
I recently went looking for more clips of Christine and found an amazing bit of history. I really do have to hand it to Maher; he has quite an instinct for future celebrity. This is a P.I. clip on youtube with Maher chatting up Christine, Star Parker (currently running for Congress in California,) and future Senator Al Franken. (Rick Schroeder is there,too, but please don't give him any ideas.) They're talking about sex education (warning: this clip is ten minutes long):
The point here is that future Senator O'Donnell is not a media dunce that can't figure out the value of doing Sunday morning chat shows. She is, instead, a savvy political observer with a deep understanding that the kinds of people she needs to show her face to don't watch chat shows on Sunday. They go to the church picnic.
If you want a staunch defender of conservatism, you won't find one more sincere, or more adept. She can best a bearded Marxist in debate any day. She knows the issues, the arguments, and the right and wrong of both. She believes in things not because they are expedient, but because they are true. She will go to the Senate for the people of Delaware, and the entire nation will be the better for it.
P.S.: Send Star Parker to the House for good measure.

Scott Brown Wins in Massachusetts
I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say -- with 63% of the vote in and Scott Brown leading Martha Coakley 53% to 46% -- that Scott Brown will win the people's U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts.
Ole' Teddy Kennedy has to be spinning in his fresh grave right about now. The unthinkable occurred: A Republican won the seat he held for better than 45 years. And on the first anniversary of the beginning of the worst presidency in recent history (yes even including Clinton's AND Carter's).
Watch Democrats and the White House spin furiously over the next couple of days claiming that this sound whippin' (FoxNews is now reporting that the AP is declaring Brown the winner and Coakley has conceded) has nothing to do with the agenda of the incredible shrinking presidency in general and/or Obamacare in particular. They will say -- as the late Peter Jennings during one of the conservative landslides he didn't particularly approve of -- that the voters threw a "temper tantrum" But we know this spin is a damnable lie. This victory of a Republican (even if quasi-conservative) in the most blue of blue states is a complete and total repudiation of the Statist Obama/Reid/Pesosi agenda.
Of course this doesn't mean that Obamacare is dead. Not in the slightest. But the best way to assure that Obamacare doesn't become law is to find your favorite news story about the Brown victory, copy and paste the first couple of paragraphs -- the ones that mention Brown's overwhelming victory -- and fax or email them to every single Democrat in the U.S. Senate with a polite reminder that if this can happen in the bluest of blues states, it can happen in their state and their jobs are on the line if they continue to support Obamacare. Now get typing!

The "It" at Commerce
Some (perhaps even some conservatives) might consider this commentary offensive. But I assure you it is far less offensive than Barack Obama's expectation that we take seriously the absurdity that apparently is Amanda Simpson, the first "trans-gender" presidential appointee at the Commerce Department.
The whole notion of a "trans-gender" person is absurd on its face. It isn't possible to change genders. God made you the gender you are and the most skilled surgeon in the world can't change the gender of God's creation. The sole result of an addadicktomy or a chopadickoffomy (Rush's Limbaugh's terms) is nothing more than genital mutilation that renders the subject a eunuch or neuter -- in essence an "it". So what you have in the case of "Amanda" Simpson is an exhibitionist who celebrates "its" genital mutilation above and beyond everything else and, along with God knows how many other "its" in this country, stands up and demands that we do the same or be labeled "homophobes" when what we actually represent is the rational side of this "through the looking glass" debate. Rational folks understand that people who possess an overwhelming desire to have their genitalia surgically mutilated and "express" their gender as the opposite of the gender God gave them need psychological help -- not celebration for their presidential appointment to the Commerce Department.
Twenty years ago, the revelation that there were actually people out there who wish us to take seriously their desire to have their sex organs mutilated and live their lives as the opposite sex would have been greeted with the appropriate guffaws. So absurdly PC have we become in 2010 that the common sense notion that people shouldn't have their genitalia mutilated (even voluntarily) and "express themselves" as a sex opposite of the sex God gave them is considered bigoted. What's more, the push is on (and "Amanda" is at the forefront of this push) to codify mandatory acceptance of this odd form of sexually deviant mental disorder into equal opportunity laws.
Remember the Romans? Their civilization was brought to its knees and eventually destroyed from the inside out by the acceptance of the very types of deviance that we are being asked to accept in this country. Let's hope we don't face the same fate.

Rush Limbaugh Okay: No Heart Problems Found
Rush Limbaugh just concluded a press conference in Honolulu, Hawaii at the hospital where he was admitted for chest pains Wednesday and said that although the doctors couldn't pinpoint the cause of his chest pain, he had a thorough evaluation of his cardiovascular system and everything is perfectly okay.
Speaking on Fox News today, Rush made the point that he was the recipient of the best health care in the world -- American health care -- from the best doctors in the world -- American doctors -- and it had absolutely nothing to do with his fame or wealth. This is the health care that everyone in this country has access to regardless of age, income, status or race, something I can personally attest to because I had a lot of experience with the American health care system in 2009 thousands of miles and an ocean away from Hawaii right here in flyover country USA. Contrast this immediate, superb care we receive here with the waiting lists, triage in ambulances and NICE death panels that exist in the health care systems we are rushing headlong towards emulating.
You folks who support this ridiculous national health care monstrosity have no idea what you are getting us into.

Predictions for The Messiah's Second Year
Happy New Year everyone!
2010 begins year two of life with radical leftists having a choke hold on the executive AND legislative branches in Washington D.C. With the vapid Nancy Pelosi, the doddering old fool Harry Reid and Alinsky protege The Messiah drunk with power, 2010 should provide us with more "interesting times" than even 2009 did, especially considering the damage these idiots can do with an additional 21 days in their reign of terror. So as I sit here sipping my recently thawed celebratory beer (it was out on the deck and the thermometer on the wall tells me that the temperature out there is within .1 degree of dropping below zero) and eating the chocolate-coated caramel corn which won;t be a part of the 2010 diet, I'd like to offer some reflections and predictions about life under leftist tyranny in 2010.
First of all, I predict that Rush Limbaugh will fully recover from whatever has been ailing him for the last day or so. He's too tough after better than 21 years of relentless attacks by the leftists to succumb to a simple thing like whatever caused his chest pain. We're all praying for Rush's speedy recovery. We can't lose the premier conservative voice on the radio at a time when we need him most.
Secondly, as Rush is fond of saying living your American dream, damn whatever the leftists are doing to the country, is the best way to get back at these fools. Whatever they do, they can't dampen the spirit of rugged individualism. Just keep living your American dream to the best of your ability, and work hard to assure that the leftists that are presently making so much mischief will be booted out on their sorry asses the next time they are up for re-election.
Which brings me to my second prediction: Liberals will lose big in November 2010 -- maybe even big enough for Republicans to regain control of the House and perhaps even the Senate. But this won't just happen by osmosis. It's going to mean a lot of hard work on all of our parts.
Speaking of which, my third prediction: The folder containing the 150-odd letters I've faxed to every politician I thought I might be able to influence will at least double and perhaps triple in the next year and my MyFax bill will consistently run over it's "sent page" limit as it did nearly every month last year. Not only that, but I will soon be busy sending hundreds of emails to state politicians to implore them not to wreck our state in many of the same ways they tried to wreck it last year but ended up tabling because of the outpouring of Iowans imploring them NOT to do such idiotic things as removing Iowan's right to work rights and empowering unions, changing the best worker's comp system in the country, removing state deductibility for federal taxes paid and using every penny of state bonding authority to piss down a rat hole on all the worthless BS our worthless governor and representatives want to piss it away on. I agree: It shouldn't be this hard to be a citizen in the freest, strongest and best country on the face of the earth. But thanks to a majority of folks who insert their heads in their asses immediately before entering the voting booth, it is. The conservative mindset tends to be that government needs to leave me alone to live my life and I'll be just fine. The problem now is that a government comprised of radical leftists will continue to get in our faces and molest us and bother us unless we stand up and make our opinions known first and second, throw them out on their asses. Our very liberty and the future prosperity of ourselves, our children and grandchildren depend on it.
My next prediction: Nationwide unemployment will be little improved from the current reported 10% or actual 17-18% and The Messiah will still be holding worthless town hall meetings and "job summits" and blaming "the mess I inherited" in other words Bush despite the fact that unemployment was less than 8% when Bush left office. I also predict that as the unemployment number continues its gradual climb, so will The Messiah's poll numbers continue their gradual slide. You can only blame Bush for so long because most of us are too smart to fall for that ruse.
As far as health care goes, the Democrats will probably get something passed, but I predict a massive outpouring of protest that will morph into civil disobedience and court challenges as the full realization of what this attack on liberty will cost us in terms of liberty, taxes and access to the quality of care we were used to under the current system.
My next prediction: Joe Biden will be as stupid in 2010 as he was in 2009 and will continue to widen the lead he has on Algore for the absolute stupidest Vice President in recent American history. Both of these guys prove, along with Ted Kennedy that if you are too stupid or too drunk (yes, this rule of thumb also applies to Max Baucus) to do anything else, you can at least be a liberal U.S. Senator or leftist vice president or both. And you can also parlay a modest fortune into a huge one by pushing the global warming lie while living in a 12.000-ft energy hog of a mansion -- no brains required. Only an uncanny ability to look into the camera and tell audacious lies about Polar Bears.
And my final prediction (I could go on, but it's time to call it a night): A world that was unquestionably less safe in 2009 with its lone superpower under the guidance of The Messiah who had (and continues to have) his hand outstretched, ass to the sky, lips planted on some despot's ass, will be even more less safe in 2010. You'd think that the Dumb Ass In Chief would have been able to figure out by now that his strategy of running down the greatest country in the world while simultaneously kissing dictator's asses isn't working but radical leftist ideologues don't have any common sense, only their blind radical leftist ideology. So he'll continue to run down the U.S. and weaken our defenses by disarming, slashing defense budgets, dithering on troop deployments and ignoring serious political strife in such countries as Iran (he'll probably send out the Secretary of Stooge at some point with her red "reset" button again) to the detriment of freedom and democracy all over the world.
On that happy note, have a great new year and don't let the bastards (and bitches) get you down. Fight the power with every thing you have in 2010. It's our best hope for a better country in 2011.

"Health Insurance Reform": It's Enough to Drive Max Baucus to Drink
Or so it seems.
As Kevin Wall said on Bill Bennett's show this morning, perhaps there's a rational explanation such as low blood sugar or something like that. But if there is, one hasn't been forthcoming as it should be if a U.S. Senator appears drunk when he gets up to make a speech.
I don't know about you, but showing up to work drunk gets you fired at my place of business. We should expect no less out of the folks who get paid $175,000 a year to represent us in Washington D.C. And don't try to tell me Three Sheets Baucus isn't my representative. In the Washington political climate we are faced with today where hardcore leftists run the show and are leading a full frontal assault on our liberties completely against the will of the vast majority of the American people, every single vote holds sway over my liberty and yours -- whether you're in Montana or Hawaii or Iowa or Maine or anyplace in between. And in this incendiary political environment, there's no room for Mr. Tipsy. As with most every Democrat in D.C., he has a difficult enough time making rational decisions when he's sober let alone when he's had a few too many.

"Man Caused Disaster" At Detroit Airport
The second terror attack on U.S. soil since the immaculation of The Messiah occurred tonight at the Detroit airport:
This second Islamic terror attack on U.S. soil in the last three months is further evidence that the "I'll apologize for the U.S. bow down and kiss your ass and you'll dis my country, I'll extend an outstretched hand, you'll smack it with your clenched fist" foreign policy is dangerous and that you can't trust lefties with foreign policy. The world's only superpower has become a laughingstock among the world's terrorists and tin pan dictators and the whole world is less safe for it.
You'll recall that the worst terror attack on U.S. soil occurred after the last eight years of inept Democrat foreign policy in which, among other things we gave missile targeting technology to the Chinese in exchange for campaign donations, helped North Korea build a nuclear reactor for peaceful purposes that they promptly began to use to enrich weapons-grade uranium. And, of course, pies de resistance of the Clinton foreign policy: Ignored a half-dozen Islamic terror attacks that ended in the incoming Republican administration having to deal with a massive Islamic terror attack -- one that we are dealing with to this day. And why exactly are we dealing with it to this day? Chiefly because of the Democrat's efforts to stifle our abilities to actually conduct a War o n Terror in the manner in which it should be conducted. And we keep electing Democrat presidents exactly why?
So The Messiah boasts two radical Islamic terror attacks on American soil in less than a year on the job. What do we have to look forward to in the next three years? Well, trying said Islamic terrorists in a New York courtroom with the full menu of rights available to any American citizen, for one. Shutting down a perfectly good military prison offshore and bringing radical Islamic enemy combatant terrorists right into the heart of the country (and, absurdly asserting that this is "economic development") for another. Next? Sitting on our hands and doing nothing while the modern-day Nazis of the Middle East -- Iran's despotic regime which kills and imprisons those who disagree with it -- build a bomb while simultaneously perfecting a platform on which to launch it. Oh, and reneging on our promise to build a missile defense system for our Eastern European allies that just might be capable of neutralizing said threat. And this is all upcoming NEXT year. God only knows what years three and four have in store for us. We somehow survived eight years of Clinton's ineptitude but can we survive three more years of foreign policy ineptitude magnified by 100 times the Clinton years? I pray to God we can.

Were I a reporter, the first question I'd be asking The Family Guy as President Messiah reposes in Hawaii would be: "Mr Family Guy Gibbs. sir, the White House is characterizing THIS Islamic terrorist attack as a terrorist attack. I'm sure that having to admit this pains you greatly. However considering this radical Islamic terrorist readily admits being in league with al-Qaeda would you perhaps go out on a limb and call this a radical Islamic terror attack? Follow up on that please sir? In the past, we have been told by the fearless Janet Napolitano that there is no such thing as a terror attack -- they are merely "man caused disasters". Furthermore, the Administration has thus far refused to call the attack by a radical Islamic terrorist at Fort Hood a terror attack. Mr. Family Guy Gibbs, sir: What exactly is the distinction between this apparently "attempted act of terrorism and a "man caused disaster" like the apparently "man caused disaster" at Fort Hood? Then I'd sit back and watch him stutter and stammer and do the only thing he's actually good at: Say something utterly moronic. The simple fact of the matter is that there IS no distinction -- they are all exactly the same and the fact that this weak, ineffective administration can't say so is the exact reason why there have been two terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in the span of the 11 short (yet very long) months since The Messiah took office.A Northwest Airlines passenger from Nigeria, who said he was acting on al-Qaeda's instructions, tried to blow up the plane today as it was landing in Detroit, law enforcement and national security officials said.
A senior U.S. counterterror official says a passenger aboard a Delta Air Lines flight in Detroit was planning to blow up the plane but the explosive device failed, the Associated Press reported today.
Passengers subdued the man and may have prevented him from detonating the explosives, the officials said.
A White House official said the incident was an attempted act of terrorism.
This second Islamic terror attack on U.S. soil in the last three months is further evidence that the "I'll apologize for the U.S. bow down and kiss your ass and you'll dis my country, I'll extend an outstretched hand, you'll smack it with your clenched fist" foreign policy is dangerous and that you can't trust lefties with foreign policy.

Where Is Jacob Marley When We Need Him?
The American people don’t want nationalized health care.
The Democratic Congress and the President don’t care. They tell us that we will love it when they let us see it. But they won’t let us see it until they have it passed (and set in stone, according to some parts of the bill—as Senator Demint has shown us, there are clauses claiming to make the legislation unalterable and unrepealable.)
Democracy much, guys?
The American people don’t believe in global warming.
The Democratic Congress and the President don’t care. They are willing to hand over our national sovereignty on the issue to a global authority (which they’ve already done with the economy, via the Financial Stability Board.)
The American people think it’s wrong to make pro-life taxpayers pay for abortions. Diane Feinsten says it’s their moral duty. Just as Joe Biden says it’s our moral duty to pay higher taxes when the Congress sees fit.
The American people have voted more than thirty different times to preserve marriage as an institution between a man and a woman only. The wise old owls of the courts, the Democratic Congress, and the President don’t care. They think we are troglodytes and hate-mongers.
And yet we are the majority.
The American people are sorry they elected this President, and 46 percent of them strongly disapprove of how he is doing his job, while another ten percent merely disapprove.
He doesn’t care.
And yet we are the majority.
When the people who hold these truths to be self-evident come out into the streets, email their alleged representatives, and complain loudly that they object to the government appropriating unto itself so many things that used to be only our business (including business itself), they are derided by the media as “teabaggers,” “racists,” and fools.
And yet we are the majority.
The Founding Fathers (and, yes, Virginia, they were, to a man, men) did not envision a government like this. They did not anticipate that there would be an American Congress that would have such contempt for the people they were elected to serve. They believed in citizen statesmen, who took the responsibility of office seriously, devoted their full time to it for a short service, and then went home to continue their lives as ordinary citizens.
They did not envision a land in which tobacco-smoking would be counted as tantamount to sin, while the murder of the unborn and buggery would not only be considered “rights,” but would be advocated by people from the White House itself.
We have fallen a long way, baby.
But perhaps the most egregious and disgusting official act in the history of this country will come tomorrow morning. For then, two-thousand fortyish years after a baby was born that brought the world true hope, the United States Senate will vote for a bill that will kill unborn babies and proclaim a false hope.
The president has decreed that he will put his family’s vacation on hold until the Senate finishes this business, thus adding to the injury being done to the taxpayers the insult of blaming any Senator brave enough to stand against this travesty for ruining his children’s Christmas. Excuse me, “holiday.”
America no longer has “Christmas" (though it remains on the federal calendar.) We have a “holiday”—though how the day is holy is a matter not to be publicly discussed, unless it serves a political purpose, as when Hillary Clinton a few years ago claimed that Mary and Jesus were a homeless mother and child.
But if we accept the bill that the Senate will pass tomorrow, we don’t deserve a holiday of any kind. We don’t deserve a country, if we don’t do something to stop this massive federal power grab.
There are things in this bill that are totally unconstitutional. There are invasions into our economic, medical, and family privacy we have never seen before. There are “death panels,” and there is abortion. This bill decrees taxes that will destroy the tanning industry, and a structure that will make quick work of the private insurance industry. Within the next five years, we will not recognize what the finest health care in the world has become, and we may not even be able to remember what once was.
After they take this vote tomorrow, the Senators will skitter out of town like the rats that they are. The Republicans standing against this mess will go home to their constituents and hang their heads in sorrow that they could not stop the train. The Democrats will hide among their SEIU pals and celebrate the first step on the road to Marxism.
And what will we do? What can the American people do to resist this unconstitutional taking of their liberties and property? Is there a Declaration to be written in the coming year? Is there a new party to arise? Have we any hope of re-establishing a government of common sense and uncommon courage?
Only time will tell. For now, let us pray for one Democrat to be visited this night by the Spirits of Christmases Past, Present, and Future, to show him or her the liberties we are about to lose, the bribery that is taking place, and the misery that beckons ahead. Then, may that fearful dream lead to the one vote we need to stop this bill from passing on Christmas Eve morning.
And if there is not one Democrat of conscience, let us look forward to a year of summoning up our own courage, living out our principles, and doing what we must to reclaim the liberties God gave us.
Merry Christmas to all, and may God have mercy on the United States of America.

Climate Change Crapola
I'm sitting at my dining room table this morning looking out on three feet of snow drifted on my deck by 60 mph wind gusts which, at the current temp of 9 degrees, puts the wind chill at somewhere around 20 below. The little dogs get lost in the 6-foot drifts in the yard when they go out to do their business. The big dog has a little bit better time of it but that's just because she's a little smarter about where she chooses to go. By choosing her steps carefully, she was able to make it all the way out to the fence about 60 feet north of the house. Any any rate, letting them in blows snow into the door track which quickly turns to ice and has to be chipped away to get the door closed.
This was two weeks ago. We have the same thing predicted for mid-week this week. Can you say nine inches of snow and 40 mph winds for Christmas. Kind of puts a damper on the whole "over the river and through the woods" thing unless your intent is to get lost in a raging blizzard and die of exposure.
Against this Midwest blizzard back drop and the recent revelations that man-made "global climate change" is bogus with the purveyors of the theory engaging in a conspiracy to cover it up, we have the EPA administrator doing a Hugo Chavez on us and imposing on us administrative rules that would double the price of home energy bills and kill large and small businesses alike with taxes and regulations. Just what we need in the Obama Jobless Recovery Economy: More government regulations to stifle economic growth. Meanwhile, my family is anticipating being trapped in our rural small-town home by a blizzard on Christmas Eve much as we were two weeks ago and are in fear of our very lives for all of the EPA-declared poisonous gas we will be exhaling and filling the house with.
The enviro-Nazis in the Obama Administration would call my little story anecdotal evidence -- an anomaly that has nothing whatsoever to do with the "climate change" problem. I would agree, because the notion of man-made "climate change" is bogus. They are saying that our Midwest blizzard that impacted 75% of the country and is the biggest since the early to mid 90s AND the one that beat the East Coast to hell this past weekend and was the biggest in decades AND the one predicted for Christmas AND every other blizzard in what is shaping up to be a rough winter are evidence of "climate change" -- the phrase they now use to cover up the fact that they were wrong about the planet warming dangerously and killing the Polar Bears. Those of us that are old enough to remember the weather patterns in the 60s and 70s remember that out here in flyover country, we could count on one of these storms at least once a year. Now it looks like we'll get at least two this season, possibly more. You might recall that back then, the same people who are telling us we are killing the Polar Bears and melting the ice caps were telling us we were in for an ice age. In the 30s and 40s and most of the 50s, these storms were rare. What does this add up to? It adds up to the normal changing cycles of weather on planet Earth.
So as The Messiah got off the plane in Copenhagen in a raging blizzard to pledge $100 billion dollars we don't have to developing nations to assist them (read, squander any way they wish) in assisting us in halting the warming of the planet. and returned to yet another raging blizzard in Washington D.C. most people are, thankfully, beginning to realize what this "global warming" or "global climate change" or whatever they decide to call it next is all about: Control. If these Nazis can use irrational fear tactics and bogus "evidence" to "prove" that man is screwing up the weather on the planet, they can then use strong-arm tactics to stifle production of the gasses they say "cause" the "problem". Obama didn't get anything done on his snowy trip to Copenhagen, but his EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson intends to pick up where he left off. And she doesn't need congressional approval either: She declared that the gas all of us breath out and plants breath in is hazardous to humans and with that administrative order comes the ability of the Obama enviro-nazis to "spread the wealth around" by doubling our energy prices, and killing industry and more jobs in the process while the world's biggest polluter -- China -- surges ahead.
To the 52% of you who voted for this enviro-Nazi: Thanks for the change and may you live to regret your choice as much as those of us with functioning brains capable of rational though did 13 months ago and continue to to this day.

This was two weeks ago. We have the same thing predicted for mid-week this week. Can you say nine inches of snow and 40 mph winds for Christmas. Kind of puts a damper on the whole "over the river and through the woods" thing unless your intent is to get lost in a raging blizzard and die of exposure.
Against this Midwest blizzard back drop and the recent revelations that man-made "global climate change" is bogus with the purveyors of the theory engaging in a conspiracy to cover it up, we have the EPA administrator doing a Hugo Chavez on us and imposing on us administrative rules that would double the price of home energy bills and kill large and small businesses alike with taxes and regulations. Just what we need in the Obama Jobless Recovery Economy: More government regulations to stifle economic growth. Meanwhile, my family is anticipating being trapped in our rural small-town home by a blizzard on Christmas Eve much as we were two weeks ago and are in fear of our very lives for all of the EPA-declared poisonous gas we will be exhaling and filling the house with.

My Letter to Senator Sellout
Don't ever let any of these "moderate" Democrat senators get away with the BS that they are actually "moderate". They are all political whores just like every other Democrat and a big chunk of the Republicans. Here's my open letter to the whore (or is that gigillo) from Nebraska:
Senator Nelson:
How does it feel, sir, to cave to the Obama/Reid machine? How does it feel to have sacrificed your senate career for the sake of giving the peasants (read, average, middle-class American citizens) the crappiest of crappy health care? How does it feel to pledge your support for a bill you haven’t even seen in the name of politics? How does it feel to know that the “sausage” they are grinding out behind a locked door in the U.S. Capital will end up with some type of publicly-funded abortion option AND a public insurance option. Finally sir, how does it feel to be a sellout: The political patsy of the radical left?
The reason the radical leftists had to lean on you to get your vote, Senator Nelson, is because this is a bad bill and the vast majority of Americans recognize that it will steal their liberty, cause their health care costs to skyrocket, break the back of the taxpayer, drive the federal government deeper into debt and give us inferior health care to boot. Now it looks like we’ll have all of this thanks to you.
We don’t know much about this bill except that:
1. Sixty one percent of the American people oppose this 2000+ page health care fiasco.
2. Dick Durbin, the number-two senate leader in the United States Senate, admits he hasn’t even seen this bill, yet now we apparently have all the Democrats signing on to a bill they haven’t even read. These folks lie about everything – in fact whenever Obama or Reid open their mouths they are lying – and yet you believe they will make good on their concessions to you?
3. Non partisan studies show that one-fifth of all hospitals and medical providers would become insolvent by 2019 if the Obama Reid Pelosi health care fiasco becomes law.
4. CBO analysis shows that middle class families can expect to pay nearly ONE-FIFTH of their GROSS INCOME for this crappy, inferior care despite the fact that 85% of Americans already have health insurance and most have health insurance that is far superior to the crap you caved for.
5. It is estimated that 100+million people will end up with this crap because, with the outrageous taxes on the GOOD health insurance most of us already have, employers will quickly dump it in favor of paying the much lower penalty for NOT carrying health insurance on their employees. You can’t blame them. When you are looking at a 35% tax on the GOOD insurance benefits you provide VS an 8% penalty for NOT providing health insurance, what would you do, Senator Nelson?
6. Leaving aside the utter unconstitutionality of this whole mess, the federal government has NEVER proven itself able to operate any entitlement program efficiently. Witness the rampant Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Witness the $37 trillion unfounded liability accruing to Medicare in the next 30 years. Witness the ponzi scheme that is “Social Security” – another $40 trillion unfounded liability.
WHY IN GOD’S NAME, SENATOR NELSON, WOULD YOU WISH THIS MESS ON YOUR CONSTITUENTS????????????????????
You may not be my senator, sir – in fact I don’t even live in your state. But your betrayal of the American people will affect my liberty and property and that of my children and grandchildren for years – decades to come. We have the best health care system in the world, we asked that you help keep it that way and you pledged your vote to destroy it. Were I you, I wouldn’t waste the money on a re-election bid, sir, because there are literally tens of thousands of Iowans who will cross our western border to help the tens of thousands of Nebraskans you betrayed defeat you soundly the next time you’re up for re-election.
