HOPE AND CHANGE

I'm curious, whether anyone out there thinks the country, or the world, has gotten "better" or more "hopeful" during the two or so years that Obama has been in power. Yes, I said "in power", because until January he was, in fact, all powerful, and was allowed to do pretty much everything he wanted to do, regardless of whose rights, property or money he stole. So, how's that "Hope & Change" going for everybody? The Teleprompter Wizard" promised prosperity, unity, and to bring rogue nations into the fold of civilized nations with his golden tongue and unparalleled wisdom. Is is me, or has he fallen just a little short of those promises? We have massive unemployment, people and businesses are uncertain about their futures, our nation is being crushed by spending and debt, serious discussions about state secession abound, and rogue governments around the world are doing pretty much whatever they like, and telling us to "Piss off!"
If I didn't [know] better, having seen some of his earlier political speeches and writings, I'd be inclined to think that the current state of affairs in this country, and around the world, were not, in fact, "failures" of his presidency, but rather supreme successes of his life-long political philosophy and struggle. Obviously, he's not a brilliant mind, but with the support of a mainstream media that shares those same beliefs, and a major political party with similar beliefs, and no small amount of assistance from foreign agents, and organizations with openly anti-American agendas, he has succeeded in inflicting damage to this country that the old Soviet Union's leaders could only have dreamed of.
It may just be me, but damn it, the critter looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck!

OBAMACARE

Once again, my friends, Danielle and I are having to deal with the medical system, because her mom is having a cancer related episode, and had to be put in the hospital. 'Seems like we've been doing this forever, starting with her grandparents, and then my parents, and now her mom. It's exhausting, as those of you in your 40s and 50s are starting to find-out. What strikes me most about our health care system, such as it is, is just how incompetent, lazy, stupid and disorganized these people are, and how much we pay them to do such a bad job. Sure, there are well educated and skilled "experts", capable of amazing things, but once you're in the system, you quickly realize, it's not a "system" at all. Insurance providers can't communicate with each other. Doctors don't communicate with each other, or their staffs, or hospital staffs, or the patients, or the patients families. Medical staff, if they speak English, don't know anything, and can't make decisions, so most patients would probably be better served in a luxury hotel, where they could, at least, order and receive a hot meal. Nobody knows all the things a patient is being treated for, or whom their being treated by, or what medications they are taking, or those they shouldn't be taking, or anything else about the patient, and they can't, or won't, communicate with friends/family enough to FIND OUT anything important about the patient's situation. It's a nightmare! Obviously, an idiot could come up with better methods of taking care of our health, and saving scads of money by making it better, and faster, and less brutalizing, but the one thing I am absolutely sure of is, that that IDIOT shouldn't be the government, because those are idiots who have proven, over and over, for decades, that they are absolutely incapable of making any bad situation better, and/or doing it in a way that doesn't lead to absolute economic disaster. Then, we'd take a flawed system, and let people who have no incentive to do anything but put in their 20 years, doing the least amount possible, or who are interested in benefiting from the corruption that their authority naturally offers-up. So, to Mr. Obama, and his co-conspirators in Congress, I say, "Thanks, but no thanks!" You guys make our lives miserable enough as it is. We don't need you making an already bad situation worse, and robbing us of more of our money, and freedom, while doing it.

HEALTH CARE REFORM

If Medicare and Social Security can't be paid for, and will soon go bankrupt, why would anyone in their right mind give the green light for our federal government to create a new entitlement program/agency/bureaucracy/economic black hole? If we can't afford the amount of government we already have, how would creating an even bigger government work? If they can't perform the tasks they already charge us to, "on our behalf", what would make any sane person believe that they will do "health care" right, or on a budget? I know that the American people have been dumbed-down in school systems that have been run by that same inept government, but are we really so stupid to believe these people AGAIN??? They can't educate our kids, or give us good transportation systems, or protect our borders, or take care of our old people, or deliver the mail, or manage our economy, or protect us from criminals, etc., etc., etc. Government is what's wrong with America, not what's going to fix it! If you want to make this a better place to live, with more promise, and a higher standard of living, vote out the people who are pushing for more of the cancer that's killing us! It's that simple! California has been taken down the toilet by Democrats, and faux Republican governors. Do all Americans want to join us in the Third World? Reject Obama and the liberals in Congress, and take back your freedom. No more Democrats, and no more RINOS. Vote conservative, Independent or Libertarian, but no more of the DNC/American Communist Party.

OBAMA, the Post Office, and the Truth

My God, is there ANYTHING this guy won't say to get what he wants? Now his "public option" isn't going to be subsidized, and will compete with the private sector with price and quality? I think this guy is psychotic! He tries to make his point, about the effectiveness of a proposed government agency/program by pointing out that another government agency can't operate effectively or efficiently, and compete with two private sector service providers? OH, but I guess in his world, health care is so much simpler than delivering an envelope or box???? This guy is either the biggest idiot on earth, or else he thinks the American people are, and assumes his minions in the media will somehow BS us into believing him. I'm going to toss out an idea. How about a postage stamp, in his honor, using that Joker Poster image as the design?

TOILET PAPER IN HAVANA

The Cuban people have socialized medicine, and a brutal totalitarian government, and they can't afford toilet paper. HEY, that kinda sounds like where Obama is taking us, doesn't it? We'll be too broke to afford food, or toilet paper, and if we talk out against the government, Obama will send union thugs over to shut your mouth - or worse - but we'll have free government medical care. I wonder if the Castro family have the same kind of medical care that the average Jose gets from their "Public Option".

Where'd all these Americans come from?

Imagine the surprise, disappointment and irritation the Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress are experiencing from those pesky Americans daring to say that they don't want socialized medicine.

Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts!

My late father raised me to listen to all sides, and then to compare that people said to facts, history, and to what I [knew] to be true, from my own experience. What he failed to tell me was, that it's not always the smart thing to express, especially when you are attending an American institution of higher learning, an oversight that made my stint at university something less than a blazing success. In any event, his "Question Authority" doctrine of living one's life did leave me with a pretty clear understanding of the universe, even if it didn't get me a degree.
My father spent some time in military counter intelligence during the Korean War, and some time in law enforcement, and he had a degree in police science, so he was pretty clear on how things work, and about who was doing what in our system.
"Spanky", as I affectionately called him, told me that the Democratic Party had been dominated by the communists for decades, and that that fact actually led him to give-up a career in Army Intel, because he had seen "Democrats" take direct steps to protect certain communist party members that he had investigated, and had encountered situations that indicated to him that people within his agency had disclosed his work, and his reports, to Democratic political figures, who then put pressure on him to stop investigating the people who were engaged in activities of the Communist Party, here in the United States.
So, as I grew up and studied history, and political science, and the world around me, the actions and policies of Democratic politicians and bureaucrats has never surprised or dumbfounded me, because I've known all along what their underlying ideology was, and had I held their views, and had their goals, I would have acted in a similar way. "Liberals" are merely communists who don't want people to know they are communists, but they always promote laws and regulations, and agencies, that help them promote an eventual conversion of our system to a communist system, AND, whenever you mention "communist", or "socialist", their method is to scoff, and to ridicule, and to call you a conspiracy monger, and to deny that communism exists in this country, and that, even if it did, it was simply an enlightened world-view, and not a criminal political conspiracy and organization. In other words, "The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he did not exist."
— Charles Baudelaire
If people like can shine a light on this political fungus, and open the eyes of the American people to the Truth, and we can prevent Obama from institutionalizing his economic, social and political agenda for one, and then two more years, it's possible that a great victory can be won by a newly "conservative" GOP, or perhaps a third party, and by the American people, if that new party takes the necessary steps to strip-away the institutions of socialism, and to restore the freedom that the Left has stolen from them over the decades, once and for all.
We cannot simply "compromise" American liberty any longer, allowing the Left to take 10% each year, and then brag about how we've defended the American people. In fact, if you compromise 10% each year, in ten years you have successfully "defended" away ALL of your freedom. It is time for the American people to start TAKING back their Bill of Rights, and their Constitution, and start persecuting and prosecuting the usurpers and traitors who have transgressed against us. If we do not, and soon, any real Americans left in N. America better start thinking about secession, or emigration, to secure for our future a safe haven for American liberty, against the onslaught of one-world government, and a return to the norm of history, tyranny.
When Barack Obama and the Left tell you they are going to give you something for nothing, they are lying. When they tell you that they are going to create jobs with higher taxes and more regulations, they are lying. When they tell your children are going to get a better education in their system, that has failed generations of Americans in the past, if you will only give them more money, they are lying. If they tell you they want a strong America, they are lying. If they tell you that the government can deliver [better] health care than the private sector, they are lying. This is NOT about YOU. This is NOT about AMERICA. This is about them, their beliefs, and their very anti-American political goals.
Maybe the Democrats should change their party symbol, from a Donkey, to a Trojan Horse.

"LET THEM EAT CAKE!"

After watching and listening to our glorious leader, Barack Obama, for eight months, I am starting to understand his vision for the future. Imagine this. We will have millions of young people serving their National Service stints, working in National Soup Kitchens, feeding the hungry, unemployed - but grateful - masses a hearty broth made from the bodies of old people, who have been pragmatically allowed to die by the National Health Service, seasoned with the stems and seeds from the National Pot Farms. Think of the problems that will have been solved by this system alone! We keep the young people busy, we keep the masses fed, and numbed to their new lives, and we keep the numbers of them pesky old geezers down to an acceptable level, leaving lots and lots of money and assets available for the enjoyment of government employees and "elected officials". Oh, and for the court of our glorious leader, King Barack I!

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

If ObamaCare passes, someone should form an internet registry through which American doctors can find jobs in other countries, where they will be able to earn more money. Big oil producing countries, and manufacturing countries, or those with large financial sectors, where the population has private insurance, or simply lots of money, will be able to get turn-key, top notch doctors, would be more than willing to pay for them to relocate, while Americans will get substandard doctors from foreign countries, who are willing to work for our government health system, like the doctors and health care workers that Medicare patients routinely get now. We've allowed the liberals to drive-off millions of manufacturing jobs, and now we're going to let them drive away our doctors. Wouldn't it make more sense to just do things that encourage more business, and more manufacturing, so more people will become good doctors, and more people can afford to have first-rate medical care?
