WHY THE RUSH TO "HEALTHCARE"?

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but
I'm becoming a professional patient, what with
numerous visits to various doctors and three
"draws" at the lab in the last three weeks. Nor
am I an expert on insurance companies, medical
practices and procedures, or the inner workings
of Congress and the White House.
BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT "SOMEONE" IS IN
A HURRY TO GET LEGISLATION PASSED
THAT WILL TOTALLY CHANGE THE WAY WE
LIVE AND DIE in our great America!
From a variety of national and personal contacts
and sources, there is trepidation among an ever-
increasing number of Americans about the attempts
of Obama, socialists, and perhaps even foreign
entities to have our government control every aspect
of our public and private lives.
Answer for yourself, how is it that a man can come
into office and in his first six months create so much
alarm and fear in our citizens? What is his or his
supporters' goal? Are we better than we were before
he took office? Is the path that he's taking us onto
going to make a "change" for the better?
There seems to be a hurry to get things done without
proper deliberations and input. How did the stimulus
bill come about so quickly? How did the supposed
"Obamacare" package get composed so quickly? One
friend of mine thinks that some of these items were
"on the drawing board" or even written long ago!
Who are the authors? Where is the "transparency"
that we were promised? How idiotic for John Conyers
and others to insist that it's impossible to know
everything that's in the bill before voting on it and
passing it? WHAT WERE THEY ELECTED TO DO?
Did doctors or medical practitioners participate in
the writing? Did hospitals or nursing homes? Did
insurance companies or patients? THE AUDACITY
OF THE AUTHORS TO THINK THEY KNOW MORE
THAN THE PROFESSIONALS!!
I say lock all of Congress in a room with their copies
of the supposed "healthcare" bill, and don't let them
take "recess" or vacation until they prove that
they've read, understand, and have made the
probably numerous changes and corrections that
the bill should have "operated on"!
I'll try to address specific issues in my next
writing, hopefully before any "rush to judgment"
is finalized, but in the meantime, call, write,
fax, or see your congressman and let him know
what your/our concerns and fears are.
If you've been watching and listening, the
adoption of a social medicine program has had
many horror stories in Canada and England -
and that's what is being proposed here!
LET YOUR ELECTED SENATOR AND/OR
REPRESENTATIVE KNOW THAT HE/SHE
IS WORKING FOR YOU!! You put him/her
into office, and you and I and others can see
that they don't continue in that position!
STAND UP, FIGHT, SPEAK UP, AND LET
YOUR VOICE BE HEARD IN WASHINGTON!!
We are America! Let's stay that way!

WHAT'S ALL THIS BUZZ ABOUT "COLOR"?

I wonder, I do, if the whole scenario about the
arrest of "Professor" Gates was planned and
scripted from the start?
It's really not surprising that he acted and reacted
the way he did, having his "honor" and "credibility"
assailed as he claims, since his history is one of
dubious relationships and memberships. What is
not being said in "mainstream media" (I despise
that term) is that Gates is a disciple of
W.E.B. Du Bois, for whom the department that
Gates heads at Harvard University is named.
Du Bois, I've read, was a communist and a
socialist sympathizer - how coincidental that
Gates is a "confidant" of Obama!
While we may never know all the details and
ramifications of the arrest incident, it is not
unreasonable to believe that Gates "wears a
chip on both shoulders", having been reported
as cultivating black radicals to his race studies
department, most prominently Cornel West,
an advisor to Louis Farrakhan.
Starting to make sense? There's more.
Socialist sympathizer Kwame Appiah, a
Ghanaian, and William Julius Wilson, who is
"close" to the Democratic Socialists of America
(whoever they are, probably a growing number,
based on what's happening in the White House
and the Congress), have both been added to the
Harvard staff.
Also, Gates co-authored two books with West,
who is quoted as saying that he admired "the
sincere black militancy of Malcolm X" and the
"defiant rage of the Black Panther Party."
WHOA! Alarming and insightful, I say.
It seems to me that Professor Gates and many
others of his race are intent on continuing to
make an issue of the discrimination claims that
some say still exist. I don't deny that there are
still "pockets" of racism, but what Gates did, in
my humble but expert opinion, is an example
of "reverse racism" by acting as he did, and by
demeaning Officer Crowley, who was just doing
his job, as 99% of our law enforcement do daily.
Perhaps Gates was trying to get national public
attention. Perhaps he was just living out his
life's philosophy. Perhaps what we can learn here
is how overly sensitive some are to what they
once termed as "white oppression"? The answer
may not be simple, in fact it may be more complex
than we can imagine.
If cool heads had prevailed, especially Gates',
the whole situation had never needed to come to
the whole world's attention. SAD!
P.S. Obama only made a bigger mess of things
by interjecting his immature ranting and
accusation. Maybe he was just looking for
someone to sit and have a beer with him?
P.S.S. Some of the statements made in this
blog came from a report from "WorldNetDaily".

WHERE'S THE MONEY FROM THE FIRST "STIMULUS"?

In the infamous words from the movie
"Jerry McGuire", "show me the money"!
People in Washington, D.C. are starting to talk
about a "second stimulus plan", when no one
seems to know what happened to the funds from
the first stimulus!? ARE YOU KIDDING?
Our national debt is now over a TRILLION $s!
Can you cipher that? Larger than it's ever been!
How has the stimulus plan helped?
HAS THE STIMULUS PLAN HELPED ANYBODY
other than those who "took the money and ran"
straight to bankruptcy court? How many jobs
have been created? Obama promised 3 million
new jobs, remember? Where are they?
People that I talk to are disgusted, angry, and
confused, and others are so perplexed that they
don't want to talk about it, or they don't know
what to say. I'M ANGRY!! Aren't you?
The staggering figure of 787 BILLION DOLLARS
is where? Who or what has it helped? How much
of it has been doled out? I've heard only 10 %
of it went "anywhere", wherever that is.
If the $250 checks that some of who are on
Social Security and/or who filed tax returns for
last year were a part of the "stimulus", then
WHERE, OH WHERE IS THE OTHER
786 BILLION, figuring that 200 million people
got those checks?
Obama has no problems taking "junkets" with
his family to various places around the world!
Congressmen and women are still going out on
"fact-finding missions" with your and my money!
Do you remember another president taking his
family out on "dates" and "vacations" with the
money that could be helping the jobless, the
sick, the veterans who have been physically
and emotionaly wounded, and even small
businesses to survive or start up?
THERE IS NO COMPASSION IN D.C.!
THERE IS NO CONSCIENCE IN D.C.!
Let's lean on our "career politicians" to have
some sanity and good sense, and cut out all
the "pork" in our government, when millions
of our citizens are hurting - NEEDING THE
STIMULUS MONEY NOW!!
Please call or write now - I'll help you to get
the phone numbers and addresses, many of
which I have.
GOD HELP AMERICA!

Say "Goodbye", America!

It's happening daily, right before our eyes and
ears - our precious country is being decimated
little by little, piece by piece, freedom by freedom.
Subtly and gradually, those who sit in seats of
power are changing everything about our once-
great nation, and they won't stop until all we
are is a memory.
The recent "accord" between Obama and
Medvedev of Russia only robs us of the needed
power to protect ourselves from the upstart
third-world dictators and madmen who are
obsessed with destroying us. That's only a
small part of the "puzzle" that many of us
fail or refuse to see. These subsersives won't
stop until we are annihilated or made slaves
of their demonic regime(s).
Weaken our defenses, stretch our military
beyond its proper capabilities, apologize to
our self-proclaimed enemies of Arab and
Muslim governments, disarm our citizens,
take over our manufacturing facilities, assume
control of the financial industry, control the
internet, limit the amount of energy each
person or family unit uses, "bug" our
communications, and stifle free speech and
dissent.
Sound familiar? Sound like America?
Never.
I'm convinced in my heart and mind that the
forces behind the actions being taken both
nationally and globally are meant to bring
about the demise (death) of our country.
The current government wants total control!
Sound familiar? Sound like America?
Never.
But the odds are against us. IF WE DON'T
SOON BEGIN TO STAND UP, SPEAK UP,
AND VOTE OUR CONSCIENCES, we will be
"accessories to the crime" of the ages - the
death of America!
We know we can't trust Russia. They haven't
changed from the same people who have broken
every treaty we've ever signed with them. Duh!
And what do we do when we suddenly find
ourselves attacked from various directions, as well
as the attacks that we are suffering within?
LISTEN! Hear the voices of Glenn Beck, Michael
Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Newt
Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly, and others who are, like
modern-day Paul Reveres, "sounding the alarm"!!
Learn what's happening in the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Senate, the Oval Office, the
Cabinet. Notice the innuendos. Read between
the lines and interpret the mean-spirited,
hell-bent directions we're being taken into.
Call or write your legislators. Call or write the
White House. I've done so often, and will continue.
HOPEFULLY, IT'S NOT TOO LATE!!
If Obama leaves enough of our country at
the end of his first term, WE PATRIOTS
MUST RISE AND REGAIN OUR PRIDE
OUR VALUES, AND OUR UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA!!

GIVING PROPER HONOR TO OUR MILITARY

It's "Freedom Day", as I like to label it, and we
who are still free owe a continuing debt to every
woman and man who has served in any capacity
in our military's ranks.
Having only served in "the Lord's army", I can
only imagine the privations and costs that these
true American patriots endure to maintain and
preserve the quality of life that I fear you and I
take for granted too often.
For example, to have to be away from one's
loved ones, both family and friends, for an extended
period of time must take an emotional toll on our
precious guardians! To be away for so long, not
seeing, hearing, touching those who we value and
love most has got to be traumatic. Those of us
who have never endured such stress need to pray for
and support our troops with our letters and gifts.
It doesn't matter where they are, or what their
MOS (job description) is, they have surrendered
the daily privileges that you and I take for granted,
namely sleeping in our own beds, having a choice
of breakfasts, going to school or work or club,
watching our favorite TV shows, reading the
newspapers or magazines that we prefer, etc.
AT WHAT COST FREEDOM?
Those precious souls that are on the front lines
of battle face even more sacrifices than those
listed above. Fearing injury or loss of their lives
daily! Obeying orders that they may not like
or understand or agree with. Being asked and
expected to take the lives of other human beings
that may or may not be their (our) enemies!
Seeing their comrades suffer the stress of the
war, not only from physical harm, but the
invisible emotional damage that will affect them
for their entire lives, and that has caused many
(thousands we've been told) to take their own
lives.
OH, THE HELL OF WAR!
Heat. Dirt. Sand. Sweat. Limited foods. Cots
or bunks to sleep on, if indeed they can sleep.
Noise of artillery and rifle fire. Enemies all
about, with the closest "friends" being your
fellow-soldier who lives in daily fear just as you
do! Limited contact with home and the rest of
the world. Uncertainty about your next day,
hour, minute, assignment! Wearing clothes
longer than you want to, shaving less often than
you've been used to, bathing and applying
body scents and deodorants infrequently.
AND WE TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED!
We must honor them. We must lift them up
in prayer daily! We must show them respect
when we pass them on the street or sit near
them in a public or private place! We should
send letters, cards, emails, and gifts as the
occasion presents itself. Phone calls and
pictures must help if we get the chance to
do so.
OUR MILITARY HAVE SAVED US TO
CELEBRATE ANOTHER "FREEDOM DAY"!
America is a great nation, and has been since
its inception. Let's hope, fight, and pray that
she stays GREAT! In spite of problems within
and troubles without, we still have a large
majority of the populace that loves its country,
and who do not want us to lose those precious
rights and blessings that we've enjoyed for
233 years!
Freedom of speech! Freedom of assembly!
Freedom of worship! Freedom to bear arms!
Freedom to vote! Freedom of ownership!
EVERY GOD-GIVEN FREEDOM THAT HAS
BEEN OURS IS BEING THREATENED, AND
IT'S FOR THOSE FREEDOMS THAT OUR
GREAT ARMED FORCES HAVE FOUGHT
AND DIED FOR OVER TWO CENTURIES!
In all of our celebrating and commemorating,
with our picnics, family get-togethers,
fireworks and concerts, etc., let every one of
us take moments to individually and collectively
GIVE THANKS, HONOR, AND PRAY FOR
EVERY MEMBER OF OUR MILITARY!
God continue to bless America!

Who Are "The Powers" Behind The Scenes?

Mystery and mystique surround Obama and the
current trends to perform plastic surgery on the
face of America. Is he the "Anti-Christ"? Is he
a socialist? Is he "a plant"? How many, if any of
his ideas and actions are really his? Does he have
magical, spiritual, "supernatural" powers and
insights that will create a New World Order,
starting with the United States?
Those of you who have read the "Left Behind"
series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins are
probably seeing similarities with the main
character in the books, namely Nicolae Carpathia,
whose quick rise to power catapults him into
the international forefront and situates him
to a position that no other man or woman has
ever assumed, not even the emperors of the
Roman, Persian, or other well-known empires.
Is this Obama's destiny? Is this our fate?
Many have hinted about the possibilities of
a united world with a single leader in control,
and I don't doubt that this goal is in some
people's agenda, but let's hope not soon.
The political and international casual observer
can "sense" the direction that our globe is
heading - Universalism! One government,
one currency, one food supply, one language(?),
and oppression galore from the power-hungry
brokers that sit in dark, secret places.
How much do you know about the Bilderbergers?
Ask Tim Geithner, maybe he'll fill you in, though
I doubt it. How much power does the World Bank
have over international finance and trade and
governments? Who are the members of the
Trilateral Commission, and what is their role in
this plot? Do the secret societies of the various
"knight" groups, the Masons, or other such
exclusive bodies have interests and influences
that we may be frightened or alarmed to learn about?
Many of us who are patriots, conservative, and
traditional Americans believe that Obama is
not acting entirely on his own, maybe not at
all on his own, but that the financiers and people
in positions and power that invested millions
of dollars into his campaign, and who greatly
influenced the overwhelming attention that
was given Obama by the mostly-liberal media
are the very individuals who are "running the
show" behind the scenes, with their diabolical
and selfish motives.
The ultimate intent, as we see it, is to weaken
the strength and ability of our citizens, as well
as our resolve, making us vulnerable to any
"takeover", whether within our own nation's
ranks, or from whichever outside forces move
in to assume power within our borders.
Can their evil intentions be halted? Yes! Will
they be? IT DEPENDS ON YOU AND I, MY
FRIEND, WHO NEED TO QUESTION, VOTE,
OPPOSE, AND GENERALLY STAND UP FOR
OUR COUNTRY'S TRADITIONAL STANDARDS
AND VALUES!!
We can make a difference! Will we? Will you?

Obama "earns" an "F"/What would John do?

A number of people prophesied that Obama would
"be tested" during his first few months in office,
Vice President Joe Biden not the least of those
seers.
THE TESTS ARE TAKING PLACE NOW - On
the order of "final exams", with a lot at stake,
basically the future of the free world and free
peoples, including democracy.
Just minutes ago Ahmadinejad, the despotic ruler
of Iran, threatened our country with serious
consequences if we don't back off and let him
and his henchmen run their country the way
they want to. Sound familiar? Does Sadam Hussein
come to your memory?
"The messiah" (lower case on purpose), being the
diplomat that he thinks he is, has done nothing more
than talk, talk, talk. No appeal to the U.N. about
the Iran or North Korea situations or threats. No
interception of the boat that's thought to be laden
with warheads. No sanctions against either regime
for their diabolical tirades and threats to "wipe the
U.S. off of the map".
Our military might is being stretched almost beyond
its capacity, and both of these "devils" know that,
feeling that we do not have the power, resolve, or
character to stop their evil intentions.
What's wrong with a U.N. supervised recount of
the Iran votes? What's wrong with a U.N. sponsored
re-vote? How many Iranians have to be hurt, maimed,
or killed before sane minds order a cessation to the
madness? If so many are protesting, marching,
and willing to sacrifice their personal safety in
an effort to right the situation, shouldn't we be
taking notice? Just how many votes were cast?
What were the "winning" and "losing" numbers?
Methinks that Obama has "hit the wall". He has
no rhetorical solutions to the current crises.
THE TESTS ARE NOW - HE'S FAILING - "F"!!
So we wonder - what would John McCain do if
he had been elected President? What do you
think?
Embargo. Blockade. Flotilla. Sanction. Movement
of troops. Call an emergency session of the U.N.
Air surveillance. Satellite filmings. STERN
VOCAL WARNINGS, and not "pussyfooting"!!
The weak, inexperienced, confused, and probably
frightened Obama is in over his head, and he does
not know what to do!! His advisors and staff are
too concerned with healthcare reform (subject of
another blog), stimulus plans (are you better off
than you were a year ago?), global climate
control (it's probably too late to make changes
that matter - see my new spiritual blog - "UPLIFT"
for more about that soon), catering to illegals,
and disarming our country's citizens (which I've
already addressed) than they are securing the
future existence of the U.S.A.!
WE HAVE MANY REAL ENEMIES, AND NOT
JUST THE GERMANY AND JAPAN OF TIME
GONE BY - THESE ENEMIES ARE MORE IN
NUMBER, LOCATION, AND MEANS OF
ATTACK THAN THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!
It's time for Obama to "man up", take some
difficult but necessary actions, or step out of the
way and let a "real American" take over (I also
wrote about that previously, as have and are
many others).
MR. OBAMA - YOU'VE FAILED EVEN THOSE
WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN YOU AND VOTED
YOU INTO OFFICE!
