The Senate’s Christmas Gift

December 21, 2009 by Bob Livingston 

The Senate’s Christmas Gift

Senate Democrats are working overtime to get an Obamacare bill passed before Christmas. They no longer even pretend to be doing it to reform healthcare. Now they’re just doing whatever it takes to get a bill passed, even if it costs somewhere between $848 billion and $2.1 trillion, depending on which math you use.

Never mind that the Realclearpolitics.com average of polls shows that Americans oppose the Democrat’s healthcare bill by a 54.2 percent to 39.7 percent margin. Democrats have gone all in, as the saying goes, and nothing is going to stop them.

As an unnamed Democratic strategist told Byron York of The Washington Examiner, “Once you’ve gone this far, what is the cost of failure?”

Comparing Democrats to bank robbers—how appropriate—who have gone past the point of no return, the strategist said, “They’re in the bank, they’ve got their guns out. They can run outside with no money, or they can stick it out, go through the gunfight, and get away with the money.”

Of course, money is what it’s all about. Not saving it mind you, but stealing yours.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D.-Ill.) told The Hill that Democrats will have the 60 votes needed to pass a bill this week. They’re buying off reluctant Democrats left and right.

For Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu the price was $300 million in federal aid to her state. As columnist Charles Krauthammer said on Fox News, if Landrieu got $300 million, Sen. Ben Nelson (D.-Neb.)—said to be holding out for removal of a provision in the bill that allows federal funding to pay for abortions—gets a Caribbean island, or two. Or, if some news reports are correct, a threat to close a military base in his state if he doesn’t join in.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I.-Conn.) is back on board. We don’t yet know what he got in return, aside from a lot of face time on television. In an effort to get one or more Republicans to sign on so the bill can be cast as bi-partisan, Maine Republican Senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe are being courted as well. Look for Maine to get a bundle of cash for snow plows or something.

Meanwhile, Joe and Jane Citizen only get dunned. If you are a family with an annual income above $88,200 and your employer doesn’t provide coverage, prepare to fork out $15,200 a year for a federally-mandated insurance fee, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) as reported by CNSNews.com. And few employers are going to provide coverage for their employees once the plan kicks in.

Why? There is an incentive not to. If employers don’t pay their share of their employees’ premiums they’ll have to pay $750 per employee fine. That’s much less than the employer contribution on a complete health plan.

What’s more, there are tax increases in the bill. Lots of them. According to the Heritage Foundation, Medicare taxes increase from 2.9 percent to 3.4 percent, the top marginal tax rate goes from 35 percent to 39.6 percent and, in the House version of the bill, a surtax of 5.4 percent is put on incomes above $500,000.

Following is a list from the Heritage Foundation of other tax increases currently in either the House or Senate bill or proposed by the Barack Obama administration to “pay” for healthcare reform:

  • An excise tax on high-cost "Cadillac" health insurance plans that cost more than $8,500 a year for individuals or $23,000 for families.
  • An excise tax on medical devices such as wheelchairs, breast pumps and syringes used by diabetics for insulin injections.
  • A cap on the exclusion of employer-provided health insurance without offsetting tax cuts.
  • A limit on itemized deductions for taxpayers with a top income tax rate greater than 28 percent.
  • A windfall profits tax on health insurance companies.
  • A value-added tax, which would tax the value added to a product at each stage of production.
  • An excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages including non-diet soda and sports drinks.
  • Higher taxes on alcoholic beverages including beer, wine and spirits.
  • A limit on contributions to health savings accounts.
  • An 8 percent tax on all wages paid by employers that do not provide their employees health insurance that satisfies the requirements defined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
  • A limit on contributions to flexible spending arrangements.
  • Elimination of the deduction for expenses associated with Medicare Part D subsidies.
  • An increase in taxes on international businesses.
  • Elimination of the tax credits paper companies take for biofuels they create in their production process—the so-called “Black Liquor credit.”
  • Fees on insured and self-insured health plans.
  • A limit or repeal of the itemized deduction for medical expenses.
  • A limit on the Qualified Medical Expense definition.
  • An increase in the payroll taxes on students.
  • An extension of the Medicare payroll tax to all state and local government employees.
  • An increase in taxes on hospitals.
  • An increase in the estate tax.
  • Increased efforts to close the mythical “tax gap.”
  • A 5 percent tax on cosmetic surgery and similar procedures such as Botox treatments, tummy tucks and face lifts.
  • A tax on drug companies.
  • An increase in the corporate tax on providers of health insurance.
  • A $500,000 deduction limitation for the compensation paid by health insurance companies to their officers, employees and directors.

And the kicker is the taxes go into effect immediately after Obama signs the bill. The healthcare benefits don’t start until 2014.

All the taxes are designed to confiscate the wealth of Mr. and Mrs. Citizen and drive them into a public option—even as Senate Democrats say the bill doesn’t include one, yet.

On Dec. 16 the president went on television and said if Congress doesn’t pass a healthcare bill the Federal government will go bankrupt. Poppycock. If a healthcare bill is passed it’s Mr. and Mrs. Citizen that go belly up.

The spend-and-tax policies of Obama and the Democrats—stimulus bills, TARP bill, healthcare bill, etc.—are what is pushing us toward economic collapse.

Face it. The healthcare reform plan Democrats are ramming through is nothing more than the greatest transfer of wealth and most massive power grab in the history of the world.

Frankly, I don’t consider that much of a Christmas present.

      Senator Ben Nelson and the rest of you anti-American communists:

      The Wizard of Oz is 70 years old.

      Today, if Dorothy were to encounter men with no brains,
      no hearts, and courage, and no patriotism – She wouldn’t be in Oz –
      She’d be in Congress!

      Senator Nelson and the rest of you anti-American, communists will be removed from public office in 2010, 2012, 2014 and way, way beyond. I have always voted, never been surveyed or polled, have never been to a Tea Party and have never been politically active. But I, and millions of real patriotic American citizens who are just like me, are now enraged by your myopic, one-party, hide the bill, actions designed to destroy our great free country. Just what kind of village idiots do you think we are? You and your ilk should be ashamed of how Harry Reid, the far-left and you are secretly writing law then attempting to shove it up the collective rectum of the citizenry. That is you should be ashamed, but clearly none of you have a conscious. What you are doing to the Unites States of America, our Constitution and Bill of Rights is downright criminal. You are clearly over-stepping your authority as our REPRESENTATIVES! Your actions against the clear will of “we the people” are appalling to say the least.

      You all should be charged with sedition because you have clearly aroused the masses into a fever pitch of anger towards you incompetent, law breaking, liars who are supposed to be working for “all” of us!
      This is not the end of the American story…but the beginning of our resurrection to regain our freedom, free enterprise, and good old American capitalism! You will loose and ultimately be drummed out in disgrace for what you all have done to this great country!

      • Bill Fannin says:

        I am not so concerned about the Democrats getting their just dues as the morons who voted for them in the first place. Devils in disguise have been misleading people for centuries. You would think that people would learn. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see the Democrats hold their own in the future. Americans fell for the crap last time, what makes you think they won’t fall for the next load? Obama has a few months to pull something off to impress his supporters. That’s all it will take to suck them all back in again. A little hokus pokus and they won’t see it coming again….until it’s too late. But we can still hope and pray that we won’t get fooled again. Hey, isn’t that an old rock song? People never learn. But then, maybe the Obama supporters won’t get their just dues after all. I bet the tax increases will not affect the high income Democrats. There will probably be a special deduction for everyone who voted Democrat in the last election. The senators all got paid off. Why not the rest of the Obama supporters? It’s in his plan somewhere. Count on it.

        • Futura says:

          The Democrats in washington are evil people to play along in Abominable Obama’s games to harm the American people for his own pleasures. WE are the people of this great land, the Promised Land of freedom, where we have freedom of speach and to worship our God as we will. We will no longer be free to do much of anything as we were free only a few months ago if this health bill goes through. Any thing Obama tries to do will make a dictatorship of this land of ours. I can say this much, we will be told what to do, how to do it and when to do what ever he commands us to do. We will be at his pleasures and at his command. Our families will be destroyed. He wants to do anything he can to us. If the health care bill goes through this is what it will be like, and we will be living in fear!

          Wake up American and pray to God of this land for his almighty help.

          • denniso says:

            Livingston says that the point of what the Dems are doing in congress is to steal your money…So simplistic and wrong. We’ve been paying taxes forever and most of us accept that as part of living in a stable and somewhat free country. The Dems are trying to save the system from the wreck that Bush and the blind sheep Repubs left behind. It takes $$ to resurrect the economy. Wake up you sheep..quit listening to Limbaugh and co.

          • DaveH says:

            Dumniso,
            If spending money we don’t have was the answer, then there would be no poor countries and no poor people.
            Money is an abstract representation of a person’s labor. If excess money is created, then that person’s money becomes necessarily worth less (more money chasing fewer goods). It’s all about productivity. What makes people work hard? If they work and save and then an errant government spends wildly with money it doesn’t have, their savings become worth less. Do you think that will make them work harder? Hardly.
            All the money in the world is meaningless if nothing is being produced. You would know that if you weren’t purposely ignorant.

        • denniso says:

          Bill…’the morons who voted for the Dems’…I just wonder, did you vote for Bush, and not consider him a moron?? look in the mirror.

      • alphie says:

        You American conservatives would not know liberty if hit you in your shnozzola. I am a naturalized Canadian citizen and have lived under our Universal Health Care system for several decates. I have had and survived open heart surgery, serious pneumonia and more. The care I got was first class and I have lived a healthy life to age 79. You cry about government control, huge taxes and various levels of care such as “Cadillac” care for senators.You lived under a misguided former President who spent trillions of dollars and over 4000 lives on an unnecessary war in Iraq. That money would have paid for life insurance for your uninsured citizens several times over.Canada has not gone bankrupt and our citizens are wealthier and healthlier per capita then the average American. A healthy nation requires less medical care and more affordable . In some area our system can be overburden because it is FREE. People go to the Emergeny Dept. with a cold or a headache. By law, they cannot be turned away and must be seen by a physician. We partly pay for our Health care by heavily taxing the principal causes of bad health such as booze, cigarettes and large contributions from gambling casinos. I have lived under the Nazis and Communists, and believe you me, who abolished freedom or any civil rights and practiced murder of millions of people most of them for no reason at all. Your new president is not a monster enough to qualify for the lowest level of a communist. Your main trouble with him is that he is black. You practice covert racism and would make good nazis. Under Nazis, I had no Health care whatsoever. They would be thrilled if I got sick and died – one less sub-human to deal with and I am white.

        • Average Joe says:

          alphie,

          1. If as you say, you a Canadian, you have nothing at stake in this country and therefore have nothing to lose in this fiasco.
          2. If as you say you have lived 79 healthy years, then you have not had to have much socialized medicine performed on you…unlike some others from your country who for one reason or another not had such good health (oh wait…open heart surgery,pnumonia and more, not so healthy after all).Living in Florida, I have a lot of your Countrymen visiting here and most that I talk to …do not share your optimistic veiws for Canadian health care….get the flu..make a appointment and if your lucky that appointment may be before the flu has been gone for 6 weeks.MRI?…how does 6-8 months waiting period work out for most? the sytem is “FREE”?…..not…or did you forget that you are heavily taxed in Canada to pay for that “Free” health care?
          3.I agree that we did not need to go to war based on lies, misinformation and outright lies by out elected officials nor did we need to to sacrifice all of those American lives, not to mention the 100,000 or so innocent Iraqi lives…you know…civilians….
          4. For most of us that are conservatives….it is about Character…not Color and Mr. Obama has no character, he is nothing more than a two-bit shill for the NWO.Maybe Mr. Obama is not a monster enough to qualify for the lowest level of a communist, but his handlers at the NWO are.
          5. The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic….that means: We have a Constitution (the LAW of the Land) and as such, the Federal government has “limited powers” enumerated to it under that Constituiton (17 to be exact). Nowhere in that document does it authorize the Federal government to force the American people to “purchase” anything that they do not wish to purchase of their own “Free will”. This particular piece of legislation is nothing short of strong armed robbery.
          6. Since you are Canadian, in the future confine yourself to Canadian politics…American policy is not your concern…it is ours and ours alone.
          Merry Christmas

        • denniso says:

          Alphie…good comment and welcome to the fray against these neo nazis who have no clue about much of anything. Please keep it up.We need some outside input to enlighten the few here who are capable of more than threats of violence.

      I have been telling people since the first time i seen obama that i knew there was something very wrong. I had a gut wrenching feeling that I was looking at the anti-christ. I have been saying all along the anti will have to destroy the US from within

      • runninbear says:

        I too knew that there was something in that smells of dishonesty when obama LIED andhide his name that he took for himself as well as others and 31 ssn numbers that America was being attacked by the “Powers that BE? and the the manchurian candidate was being backed by our enemies from within.
        When Obama started making mistakes that he blamed on the teleprompter.like the inventing the Automobile,and the fact that America doesn’t have 57 states,but The confedrate States of Islam does?When his speeches says he will support Islam before the American peopleand refuses to call a terrorist attack what it is, then we have seen the colors of the usurper that calls himself our President?
        It’s time all Americans get involved to reverse this destructive path Obama,Reid and Pelosi has put us on.

      • Foolpatrol says:

        @ Raggs, Yes, one must be the Anti-Christ to even consider reforming healthcare and saving the lives of 18,000 Americans who die needlessly each year due to lack of health insurance.

        When you saw now President Obama, you didn’t see Satin. You saw a qualified Black man and for you that was H*LL. Get over it!

        • Sally says:

          You can’t be serious. I know you are one of those people on the dole. All the 18,000 people have to do is go to a public hospital (county which we have plenty here in Fla.) and they are treated for whatever ailment they have for free. So don’t buy into that Bull. That is why hospitalization costs so much because of taking care of all the people who don’t have any.

        • American Citizen says:

          Heard a doctor say they will no longer be able to give free health care of free drugs. It would be against the law according to this bill. The people will have to go through insurance.

          • Beberoni says:

            And these insurance companies that are in on this are all cronies of the democrats, and its the mob thing all over again. They are in cahoots and now have a license to steal, because stupid, stupid people gave the democrat mob a majority in the house and senate so that they could totally disregard what America wanted, and do what they wanted to benefit themselves. Their insurance companies are all going to cash in on billions, and line these democrat politicians pockets to the top in illegitimate cash. People should have to pass a test to vote, I swear.

        • John says:

          No really something that he has done that has had substantive results?

          The guy is an idiot and his ratings have been dropping, rapidly.

          Take the blinders off. I guess you don’t call yourself fool for nothing.

          • Dee says:

            I listened to what obama had to say while he was campaigning. I didn’t like what he proposed and still don’t. I don’t know why these dumbocrats voted for him or anyone else for that matter. They just think they are going to get free health care. Baloney
            He said this obamacare would not add a dime to the deficit, that’s probably because the taxpayers will get soaked. We have never asked the government for anything and I just really don’t want to be paying for these irresponsible people who don’t have health insurance. It is the responsibility of the people to get their own health care. Yes, I realize that some people can’t afford it.

          • Joe H. says:

            Dee,
            what did it for me was when he proposed a civilian corp as large and as well armed as the army!!! That told me he needed force to initiate what he had planned!!!

          • Foolpatrol says:

            So far President Obama has prevented the Bush Recession from developing into a full fledged Depression. President Obama inherited the destruction of the failed Bush Administration including an unfunded, unnecessary, war for political gain and oil, a massive deficit, the Bush Bank Bail Outs, rising unemployment and under employment, plant closings and outsourcing and a shrinking economy. It took Bush eight years to squander the Clinton surplus and destroy the economy. Do you really expect President Obama to restore it in eleven months? Please, put the Meth pipe down!

          • Beberoni says:

            Note to fool patrol. There really was no Bush recession. Business just pulled back the cash in preparation to pay the democrat tax monsters, thats all. They knew the dems would cancel the tax cuts, and they have allready said they are taking them away in 2010. Since then, Obummer has taken unemployement from a mere 4 percent to over 10 percent and rising. He has lost his way in Iraq and Afhanistan, he has given lawyers to prisoners of war and jailed our own service men. He has hamstringed and handcuffed our military who are trying to fight now. Now he wants to strip and ruin the best health care system in the world, as he doesnt have any idea of what he is doing. Seems to me that a democracy is supposed to be the majority wins, but when 56 percent of people are against something, and he and his left wing liberal cronies do it anyway, they dont care about what the public thinks. They know the general public that voted them in are stupid and uneducated, and now they are about to prove it. Thanks dummies.

            It’s ironic. I just heard a Democrat spokesman excusing Obama from the current economic problems because “he’s only been in office for 46 weeks”. Yet, the MSM and the Democrats were blaming Bush for the Dot.com crash when he had just barely taken office.
            I suppose we will have to endure the Bush Blame for another 3 years because Democrats will never accept responsibility.

            Note to foolpatrol – tell them to get a job, and then they would have health insurance. Call me callous, but I dont feel for the guy living on the street, who drank and drugged himself and had a great old time partying for 10 to 20 years to get himself there. Now you want me to pick up the pieces and pay for him the rest of his life. Sorry. Sometimes when you make a bed, you have to sleep in it. Im all for helping those that want help, but 90 percent just want a handout to party with, and I wont be a part of it if I can help it. The goverment has become an enabler of people destroying themselves, and it shouldnt be that way.

        • Beberoni says:

          The other half of it is, is that all these democrats have cronies that own all these insurance companies that are going to collect billions off of this thing, and then they will kick back cash to these same democrats. Its also so full of pork, that they paid off so many of them to vote this thing in, by giving a billion dollars to their state medicaid fund for their yes vote. Thing is fool, if you work like I do, you will be paying more for your health insurance, and you will be paying for insurance for all those guys you see everyday sitting on front porches drinking 40′s and smoking cigs, because they dont want to work, they dont have to work, and now they get insurance for free on top of it. Well, its not free, you and I are paying for it. But if you seriously think this is going to benefit anyone but those that dont work, think again. Those so called poor people that are struggling to make ends meet, will now be forced to pay insurance premiums they cannot afford, to these same democrats buddies insurance companies. If they dont pay, they get fined and sent to jail. And the poor and middle class are going to have to pay. Then small business’s are going to start to close, because the cost of this is going to be so high, they wont be able to afford it. You can expect the cost of cars, groceries, textile goods, tools, and everything else to go up, as all these business’s are going to get stuck with paying higher and higher rates to these leech democrat companies. So if you for one minute think this is a good thing, and think this is going to help those that cant afford insurance, think again. You are severely uneducated in this endeavor. The only ones that will benefit are the losers that dont have jobs that dont want a job, and they get rewarded once again. Everyone else gets porked. Its people like you that make this crazy stupid stuff happen.

          I know the bible say’s there will be war’s and rumors of war’s. Also a treaty is mentioned. A “peace” treaty… I feel as if a lot of people get the wrong idea on this “treaty” and how it takes place.
          It is obvious to me this “treaty” is something called a climate agreement, “climate” being a disguise.. In other words it is the foundation for the NWO in which will give Israel no options but to conform. Bascially the same we are heading to with the “wealth care” bill.. This government has not even one care of it’s people this bill is about total control at thats the bottom line. So that being true and it is…obama has no regard for Israel he has already proven that.
          Israel will be used under force to follow the leader. It’s called peace but believe me it is far from it!!! Do you see where this is going? This would explain why God get’s so angry about “peace”.. because it’s like everything else the government does or say’s A LIE!
          Iran is nuc capable and obama don’t give two shi**. or sure he send’s them a little threat of “I will spank you”..obama has already given his stance on the muslim’s…Some of you may disagree with me but that’s fine. At least I don’t have my head in a bag full of obama as*.

          Bush and cheney stood up for the constitution and in the constitution the government is to defend our country from people who attack us. Obama is violating the constitution by taking down our defenses in europe and not supplying our troops with the necessary backup that is requested by our generals.

          Obama and the democraps are violaing the constitution by forcing us to buy something we don’t want and forcing us to pay for something se don’t want too, like $1.00 a month going towards abortions, $5 million going to a travellers and visitors center in california, rationing of health care by denying women mamograms until age 50 when there are women getting brest cancer at age 35, taxing medical devices like wheelchairs, artificial knees, hips, breast implants, tampons, breast pumps, heart stints, etc.

          cuts to medicare which seniors are forced into at age 65 gets cut millions of dollars forcing seniors to purchase under limited income, medical supplimental from corrupt AARP.

          small business are being forced to close or fire employees because they cannot afford the forced to provide health insurance for their employees.

          the reason the ecomomy tanked is bacuse of ACORN, Barny Frank, senator OMAMA and his corrupt commy demcrapts and taking over the house in 2007 and not passing any bills that helped the economy instead hurt it.

      The do nothing Repubs set out to defeat any reform bill because they are totally in bed w/ the industry. They fought to strip the bill of anything meaningful like the public option to add some real competition to the corporate system..they pressured the moderate Dems and helped produce a weaker and less effective bill. So, of course it became a power struggle that they instigated. The Dems stuck together and now we may actually get a bill that can be improved upon later that will help the millions of people who struggle against the millionaire lead insuance corporations. God bless America and the Dems for fighting for the country and the people.

      • runninbear says:

        This bill was written and made without anyone outside Obama and the bribed democrats who cut deals for their state,and used the lives of unborned babies as a bargining chip to get the 60 votes they needed to ram this uncontitutional health care bill down the throats of the american people who were opposed to this so called attempt to give us a health care that would save lives of unborn babies,the elderly and the uninsured.
        This is what happens when we allow coruppt men who refuse to listen to the people who gave them their J.O.B.’s and who doesn’t have to be forced to buy something the repesentives of our country wouldn’t accept for themselves.But Now I think it time “WE THE PEOPLE FORCE THEM TO ACCEPT THE SAME HEALTH CARE THEY HAVE FORCED ONTO U.S.

            Whenever I here people spouting off numbers about how many people died because of this or that, I think about the Flu Statistics. According to the CDC 30,000 people die in the US from the flu. How many of those people would have died anyway, even if they did not get the flu? How many of those people died of other complications such as asthma, bronchitus,enphazema, pneumonia and just plain bad health habits? How many of those that died “had” their flu shots? Sometimes you have to look past the “numbers” in order to get to the real numbers. Half truths are also…..Half lies. Look at the big picture…do a little analyzing.

        Would that be the same Dems that are planning thru mandatory participation provide those millionaire lead insurance corporations with MILLIONS and MILLIONS of $$ from those who currently choose to be uninsured even when they can afford it?

        Denniso, you are confuse here my friend. Repubs in bed with insurance? Maybe you should study up on this, and you would find out that these approved insurance companies that are going to take over this thing, are all democrat owned and run, and its the perfect set up. They give them a license to steal from all of us, then the insurance companies the democrats put in place, line all the democrats pockets with cash constantly and consistantly, and they all plunder the country. If you dont see that, or even dont know that, I highly suggest you take the time, read up on this, study a little bit, apply yourself, and see just what the hell is going on. Its the perfect mob set up. Thanks to dummies like you that blindly voted them in, you aint seen nothing yet. Theyll stick it to you as much as me or anyone else. Unreal.

    • Eric g says:

      I dont recall the republicans doing much for health care reform either . This bill does nothing for lowering costs , which have gotten way out of line . But it certianly is better than nothing , as it should stop the bankruptcy cuased by the medical industry . which insidently is our biggest cause of bankruptcy . not over spending or unqulified loans .

      • Joe H. says:

        Eric g,
        this plan is not better than nothing it is much worse!!! It takes away our freedoms and makes a mockery of our freedom to choose who we want to cover us and what kind of coverage we want good or bad!!! My insurance has no preexisting clause and no lifetime limit. I can see any Dr. I wish and a specialist without a precert and as soon as the man or woman has an opening. Why in hell would I want a government type coverage? I’d have to be stupid. It costs me about 275 a month and that’s cheap at twice the cost when you consider it has only a small co-pay and free drugs!!!

      • Jana says:

        Eric, you are right, the Repubs did not add anything to this bill. They were not allowed to. They have been totally ignored.
        This bill will cost us the actual tax payers a whole lot more. We will be forced to buy insurance or pay a fine. The rest of us will be forced to pay higher premiums.
        This is a sad day for the United States and the Dems are ignoring all of us.
        These people are supposed to be our Representatives, not our leaders. They are too full of self importance to remember that.

      • Beberoni says:

        I have to disagree. I work, and my insurance worked just fine for me and my family. I paid my premiums, and never have to worry about nothing, but those days are gone now. Its soon to escalate out of control, and really quick. The only beneficiarys, are the unemployed crack heads now get everything free, and the working man pays more and more. Sounds like the democrat way to me, again.

Alot of this mess we are in is their fault. If they were true journalist Americans would know alot more about Obama, for example the people he surrounds himself with Marxist,socialist,America haters.Hollywood also wanted him real bad,we all know how moral they are. Between the media and the hollywood elites they made it so cool to vote for this man. What a joke. We are also in this mess because of the dumbing down of society, People don’t seem to care if our leaders are virtuous anymore as long as they promise to give them stuff even if it means taking it from someone who worked hard for it. Sorry to rant but can you imagine if Bush did half the crap this guy is doing? The media would have had a hayday. This is what happends when we as Americans care more about comfort then freedom.I think we have a rough road ahead of us.

    • Floyd says:

      One of the best ways to stop these creeps is to stop Pork Barrel Spending! How? We have to get as many conservatives on board as possible to craft a bill that says if your state receives more compensation than the other states whether its in the original bill or is an Ear Mark then your Senators and Congressmen cannot vote yes to the bill but it will be recorded as an automatic No Vote for your state. If the bill fails to pass on the first vote then half of the ear marks ( the most expensive) have to be taken out of the bill, then if it still fails to pass All of the Ear Marks must be taken out of the bill. If the bill still fails to pass then it is to be sent back to committee for further study and changes and must wait at least a year before it can be voted on again! If a state has an emergency and need money or special help then the other states can pass the bill without the vote of the beneficial states vote. Something of this nature has to be passed and I believe the majority of Americans will support this idea. Once you turn off their money machine you can start eliminating these perverse Liberals who wish to usurp the constitution and openly steal from us the way they have been doing for many years now. Let everybody who agrees with me contact their state representatives and start crafting such a bill as soon as possible. Thanks, your friend and author of The Great Time Hawk In The Sky, Words Hardee.

          People like you tend to spout a lot of talk with absolutlely nothing to back up your claims. PLease show me where in the Constitution (the LAW of the land) where congress has the right to force yu to buy anything(a commodity) that you do not wish to purchase, or where in said document that you have a right? to free anything…let alone healthcare (a commodity) at someone else’s expence. This is theft at gunpoint (buy our insurance or go to jail (up to 5 yrs) and be fined (up to $5000). That my friend is strong-armed robbery as well as extortion and the last time I checked both were still illegal and punishable by prison time. It is one thing to say we can opt in if we choose, it is entirely another matter to force us against our will to buy anything that we do not wish to buy or can’t afford to buy.
          Please take this time to crawl back under your rock and enjoy the sweet smell of all of the crap that you seem to believe. This is not the first time that I have read your ignorant rants (and I am sure it won’t be the last),but most of us do not live in fantasyland , where we think that the Government needs to take care of us from cradle to grave. Get a grip on reality and learn to take personal responsibilty for your own life….”We the people are not your keeper…grow up!

            I have a clue about the founding documents. Some of it is brilliant and far thinking and the rest is BS. Remember the clause of our Constitution that counted Blacks as a fraction of a human being? That was racist and ignorant! It evidences that the founders were imperfect MEN of their time. Nonetheless, the imperfect, slave holding, founders had the far sightedness to understand that they had to be corrected periodically also. That why we have the amendment process and the mechanisms to pass new legislation. We’ll keep perfecting their original concept until we get it right. Happy Holidays!

            That is right….Constituional Amendment….that is the only way to change it…and I see no Constituioal Amendment here.BTW, this issue has nothing to do with race and should not have been brought into this conversation…this seems to me another pity the poor black folks who were enslaved….I do pity them for what they were put through, but that was 150 years ago and things have changed. We are neither slave holders nor slaves (other than to the national government). Again…this is about personal responsibility, personal freedoms and the proper role of government ie…to protect individual rights.

          • DaveH says:

            Where do you get that crap Fool? There is nothing in the Constitution that says Blacks are a fraction of anything. Yes, many of the states ignored the equality of man, but that was not Constitutional.
            Meanwhile, you Liberal thieves are taking advantage of the hard-working Blacks who were striving to achieve the American Dream. Just like the Southern slave-owners did. You give lip service to anti-slavery, but then you participate in enslaving people (many of them your fellow Blacks).

          • Beberoni says:

            I agree. Denniso and Fool Patrol are totally uneducated on this one, for sure to say the least. Its a democrat/mob set up, with the democrat insurance companies given a license to steal, who will plunder all the money they can from the people, with the government footing the bill, which is really our money, then they will line the democratic politicians pockets, who will legislate more power to them. They have been given a license to steal by uninformed, unintelligent, uneducated, un-American people like denniso and fool patrol. Shame on them.

            The fine was more like 20,000 dollars not five!!!

            Hey Fool!!! Show me where the constitution says anything about the value of any race!!!! You must be a product of public non-education!!!!

          • Foolpatrol says:

            WOW! Are you people really this stupid? You rally around a document and you don’t even know what it says! It is obvious why Sarah ‘give me free, what’s in it for me’ Palin is your hero. Very sad, the dumbing down of America.

            The Constitution and Slavery:

            Article I, Section. 2 [Slaves count as 3/5 persons]
            Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons [i.e., slaves].
            The ‘Three-Fifths’ in the ‘Three-Fifths Compromise’ refers to the fact that it was agreed that slaves would each count as three-fifths of a person. In other words, for every five slaves, three of them counted as people. After the ‘Great Compromise,’ having a large population would determine how many electoral votes each state would have, how many votes in the House of Representatives each state would have, and how much each state would pay in taxes. By counting slaves in their population, the South would gain more political power but would pay more in taxes, which they were willing to do. The North disagreed because they felt that slaves should not count as people because they did not have the rights that free people hold. If the South wanted these crucial additions to their population, the slaves would have to be free. Both sides disagreed, so they were forced to compromise. They agreed that slaves would count as three-fifths of a person. As far as your one-half or two-thirds comments, I do not know where you could find information as to why they settled on one number instead of another.

            Did you notice that I did not argue the 3/5 equation with you? I have read the documents in question and re-read them on a fairly regular basis. BTW I don’t care much for Palin…my choice was Ron Paul, the only candidate that has never renouned his beliefs and convictions since he got into politics back in the 1970′s.The only candidate who even attempts to tell the truth to the people.Of course the media basically shut Mr. Paul out during the campaign and labled him as a nut job. Pity that everything he has said about the economy has come to fruitation…and for some reason….now the media is actually starting to take him seriously…too bad they didn’t when he was running for President, we might just have a Constitutional government now…instead of this travesty that we now call the President.

            Politicians are like books….many have great titles….so few have any real substance.

Most people are not affected by that aspect of the plan though,because most people are insured thru their jobs..I’m self employed and I will be affected. My hope is that since it was a but in for the ins industry to go along w/ reform,it’ll be changed in the future. The bottom line is that we need real reform and too many people can’t afford to go to the doctor or hospital or they go bankrupt…it’s a national disgrace that has to change and this is as good as it gets for now.

          • DaveH says:

            Good one Fool. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I had not noticed that before.
            Our forefathers weren’t perfect, but they were experienced in the error of Big Government and tried to protect us from such.
            Slavery was then and always will be wrong. And slavery does not have a skin-color rule. It can happen to anybody. So, why do you advocate the enslavement of people by Big Government? When contracts are not voluntary, when our earned money is not respected as our own property, then we are slaves.

          • Jana says:

            Fool, you must also remember women weren’t allowed to vote either. But now women vote so we are counted as a whole person, the blacks count as a whole person and can vote now also.

          • Lynn says:

            Sorry Robin, universal healthcare works just fine here in Canada. If you don’t like it that’s cool, but I like the fact that I don’t have to spend my entire life savings on a loved one who unexpectedly ended up in at a hospital. I’ve heard too many stories about hard working Americans whose life savings were wiped out by unexpected health emergencies and felt thankful that I live in Canada. (Don’t get me wrong, I love visiting the US, with my travel insurance.) I hope you guys get this sorted out, but don’t denigrate the Canadian healthcare system, it works very well and we like it just the way it is.

          • DaveH says:

            I talked with a Canadian who was a banker. A medical outfit wanted to get a loan to build a private for-profit clinic that would offer better health care then the public clinics. The Canadian Liberals were fighting that action, because it wouldn’t be “fair” to those regular citizens who couldn’t afford such good care. Ahh, the politics of envy. What would we do without jealous citizens? I mean besides having better economies.

          • Joe H. says:

            lynn,
            tell that to the people like my aunt that comes here to the states to see a cancer Dr three times a year for treatment!!! In Canada she has to wait way too long, might as well curl up and die!!! I like Canada and the fishing is great, but the people have been coming here for years to see Dr.s unless they have a hernia that needs surgery as they have the premier hospital for that and that was developed before they went public option!!!

          • Rod James says:

            Robin & DaveH, Canada has a Health system that takes care of all the best way it can which means quite long wait times for Emerg service and many operation procedures. This care is for all with a minimum charge (some provinces have quarterly bills eg; approx $40 per Mo. single coverage $140 family)Many companies offer supplimental coverage with employee plans.DaveH many Provinces have private clinics that anyone who wants faster (better?) service can buy (eg; $3000 per year per family plus treatment costs. The Socialized care that many of you are so panicked about comes with a hefty price tag with huge deficits being incurred by some Provinces. I think I would prefer to be taken care of by that system rather than have to go untreated or have to take out a second mortgage or even sell your home for a major health treatment as is common in the US.

          • denniso says:

            Lynn…thanks for the civililized input and setting the record straight. I like Canada.

          • DaveH says:

            The difference here, Rod, is whether or not anybody has a right to ride on anybody else’s unwilling shoulders. There is little that is “free” in life. Those products that are given to the citizens by government are paid for by somebody else (unwillingly usually). That is theft, plain and simple. And even if not for the immorality of it, the costs will inevitably escalate beyond those of a free-market system. The more bureaucrats you throw into a person’s health-care decisions, the more the expenses go up or the rationing increases.

            If health care is a right, then surely food and shelter are also. The lack of food or proper shelter will lead to death far more often than the lack of good healthcare. So, the inevitable next step is Marxism which has failed miserably everywhere it has been fully implemented.

You dont give the government more power over your lives. You give them less. You have them back off and let you live your life free of their tyranny. Yet this left wing liberal pacifist appeasers want to empower the government and grow and grow it and give them more and more power, and its wrong, sad, and dangerous.

Sometimes a person has to stand up for their God given rights regardless of the consequences to them personally. I will rot in jail rather than cow down to these self serving idiots in DC who claim to represent “We the People”, but only serve their own interests. I have drawn my line in the sand and will not back down. The worst they can do is kill me….so what, we all have to die sometime (just a matter of when and how), but at least I will die having kept my morals and integrity. If our founding fathers had bowed to the crown….just to go with the flow….this Republic would not exist.I will stand my ground.
          If you want to change the health care system,
          Push for tort reform, insurance across state lines and the removal of anti trust exemptions that the insurance Cos. now enjoy. But please don’t just “accept” what they give us simply becase it is better than nothing…that serves no purpose other than to tell these idiots that they can do as they please with no reprecussions….fight back…say…no thanks…..MY line has been drawn and I will not back down.

Those with outlooks like denniso and fool patrol and curtis and johnnyrite cannot stand on their own. They need the government to change their diaper and feed them and clothe them, and wipe their butt for them, because they havent learned to stand up on their own two feet yet. This is, the perfect example they set, of the liberal think tank that is subverting America to being a second class nation, and I for one, am not going to stand for it, and I know you arent either. I applaud your convictions as a man, and I fully recognize them as righteousness in you.

          DZ,
          The only way that we will ever stop this insanity and usurpation of power is on the local level.We as a people need to stop worrying about what the National government is doing and start worrying about local government is doing. We need to start electing Constitutional leaders locally and on the state levels that will stand up to the Federal government and say “we do not agree and reject your laws within our state”.We need to elect people that will stand up for the Constitution and our 10th Amendment Rights to govern our own affairs, without federal interference. We need to stop funding the Federals and have our states issue their own Constitutionally mandated money (Article 1 Section 8). We need to have Govenors that will authorize Constitutional state militias (2nd Amendment)that answer to the Govenor of the state and not the Federal government. A good place to start would be a Sheriff that upholds the Constitution. IF you want change…start on the local level….it does not matter what the Federal government implements…if the states will not enforce it.
          Everything starts at home and moves outwardly..small ideas can become enormous ideas…start at the botom and work up..not from the top and work down.

So when they all find out they are going to have to pay more and more for medical premiums and co pays, and more of a portion of the bill, they will then somehow raise that little finger, and try to blame it on Bush, because that is what they do. Pacifist appeasers.

        • DaveH says:

          I agree Beberoni. I have never seen a Democrat who has accepted responsibility for a failed policy. They want to keep throwing good money after bad in their failed quests for Utopia. That is probably why they want somebody else’s money in the first place – they have wasted their own on foolish actions.

            Talk about throwing good money after bad. Hows that GM/Chrysler thing going? Last I heard, the corporates are allready inquiring about if they can give some huge bonuses, and the unions are allready wanting more money and planning a future strike. Did anybody really think they would change? It is the perfect example of throwing good money after bad as you said, and they will crumble and fall, and someone will be making off with all that cash, that came out of our pockets. This is what big government brings to us. Isnt it grand. And to think there are some, even in this thread here, that want to give the government more and more power running health care, like growing them is a good thing. Unbelieveable Dave. How can some be so uneducated and stupid to this? I dont get it.

    I hope they pass the healthcare bill in time for you to get your mental problems looked at.
    The bill, as approved by the Senate (all 60%), is less than great to be sure. But it’s very generous to the “free enterprize” insurance companys. That should make you very happy. The question that I have is where were the Republicans. I didn’t hear one constructive idea from them. Their plan was to act like a bunch of middle school flunky’s. Name calling, distortions, and diversions aren’t the way a democracy works. I think they will also pay a price in 2010 and 2012.

      So, now we get to shove 100% of the costs onto our employees (and ourselves).

      Our employees are going to be shocked that health care for “all” (ok 2/3 of the uninsured, we still have left an entire chunk not covered), is not free. As will you.

      Get ready to start footing 100% of your own bill (which goes up every year) and get ready for the Bush tax cuts AND these new taxes to hit your income simultaneously.

      We can’t afford this POS. Within 2 years you are going to find out just how badly we can’t afford it.

            Norm,
            It clearly states that once you are on the government policy you can not leave!!! The insurance companies can not survive without new customers. Now how is that FAIR to them??? If you are on your parents insurance then you will be covered by the government option if they get temporarily laid off so then you don’t have the choice they have now!!!
            If you, as an employee, gets laid off say for three months, just long enough to lose your coverage, you HAVE to go on the government option and then you can never leave!!!! This equals no new customers for the insurance companies!!! This means a new bunch of unemployed people!!! So if you don’t care about them being unemployed, why should we or they be concerned about you being without coverage?????

          • denniso says:

            I didn’t say that I can’t afford ins…i’m talking about the millions who can’t. The healthcare industry has orchestrated the huge increases in prices so that they can get multimillion $$ salaries and in the process have priced many people out of the market..you want to leave them out of the system because their salaries have not increased to keep up?? The ‘market’ does not work well or efficiently for commodities that are vital necessities of life. Almost everyone needs health care at some point and they can’t choose when to purchase it or not. So the classic ‘supply and demand’ equation doesn’t work.

How much less would it cost doctors,hospitals etc…if the did not have to abide by all of the Federal rules and regulations?…please don’t tell me how we need the Federal regulations….is your state ,county, city etc….too incompetent to set their own standards?

            First of all their salaries aren’t keeping up because Big Government (the Government you encourage) is draining financial resources from our economy with all their well-paid meddlers (bureaucrats) who actually hamper people that are trying to be productive.
            And the market does not work well for necessities? So you are for free food and shelter? In other words, you are a Marxist? You are amazingly ignorant. Marxism has failed wherever it has been tried. And for good reason. Somebody has to do the work, and if there is no reward their work ethic is not going to last long. It rarely does.

    • American Patriot Backer says:

      Norm,

      This bill won’t help you with your mental problem! You need to look outside of the liberal main stream media and see the truth. The conservative representatives did not get to input anything because of Pelosi and Dirty Harry’s lock down on the participation of those people. They would not let them have any input into these crappy bills they are screwing us with. This country will fail because of sheeple like you and you other liberal followers. Destroying the economy is what your buddy BHO is intent on doing so he can gather up Americans into the one world money and government. What would you expect from a Muslim in the white house? Muslim you question??? he was sworn in as a Muslim from Kenya to the senate in Chicago and he still won’t produce a birth certificate. You trust a man who has no interest in the truth, the constitution or the freedom to keep what we work for with having it stolen from us by the government to redistribute to those parasites who will not work? Did you know there was research done and the fact is, if the government were to just pay for the medical bills of all the supposed uninsured that it would be one tenth of the cost we are looking at right now? People like you are ruining this country with you inept attitude and disdain toward the wage earners and hard working people in this country. Taxing the crap out of all the business owners and workers is really smart right? What are you people going to do when we decide it’s not worth the effort to support you leakers and parasites and close our businesses? I know the parasites will die because we won’t pay the bills for you any longer! WAKE UP DUDE! WAKE UP USA! LIBERALS, GO BACK TO SLEEP!

      • AMERICAN PATRIOT BACKER
        YOU ARE A TRUE SAINT AND A TRUE HEARTED AMERICAN PATRIOT.!!!! YOU PUT IT ALL IN GOOD WORDS AND IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.!!!!!.
        ORGANIZED TOGETHER WE ALL WILL TAKE BACK OUR GREAT COUNTRY. WE GREATLY OUT NUMBER THEM.!!!!!.

        AMERICAN PATRIOT…
        WE THE PEOPLE MUST ACT STEADFASTLY.!!!.
        KEEP THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT GOING FULL STEAM AHEAD.!!!.
        THE MORONIC DEMONOCRATS JUST INDITED ANYONE WHO CONSIDERS OPPOSITION TO THE HEALTH COLTROL LEGISLATION , RACIST , BEARTHERS, AIRIEN MILITIA MEN. HMM I WONDER HOW THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN THINKS OF BEING CLASSIFIED AS ONE OF THE ABOVE ..??. NEARLY 70% OF ALL AMERICANS ARE IN OPPOSITION TO ALL OF THIS MARXIST COMMUNIST TAKE OVER AMERICA CAMPAIGN LEGISLATION THAT IS SECRETLY WRITEN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.. ITS THE PROCESS THAT REALLY HAS EVERY AMERICAN UP ON ARMS OVER OUR DEMOCRACY BEING CRUMBLED BEFORE OUR VARY EYES.!! I THINK THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE RIGHT UNDER THE EXISTING CONSTITUTION TO STAND UP AGAINST THESE MARXIST COMMUNIST MORONS THAT ARE PURPOSELY RUNNING OUR GREAT COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND , SO THEY CAN EFFECTIVELY TRANSFORM IT INTO A COMMUNIST STATE. THAT IS THEIR GOAL AND BY PASSING GOV. HEALTH CONTROL BILL WILL BE THEIR FUNDATION TO TRANSFORM THE WEALTH TO THE WORLD AND FORM A COMMUNIST STATE HERE IN AMERICA AND THEN REIN AS THE MOST POWERFUL WORLD LEADER ..!!! I MEAN DICTATOR..!!!!. IT WILL BE EASY AFTER THE COLLAPSE TO ERADICATE THE CONSTITUTION TO FORM A COMMUNIST STATE.!!!!!!.
        ITS TIME FOR AMERICA TO STAND UP.!!! A NEW AMERICAN REVOLUTION IS ON THE HORRIZON.!!!!!!!

        • Joe H. says:

          American Patriot and backer,
          We should thank people like dennislobber and abNorm!! They are the greatest recruitment tool for the TEA party we have!!!! They have decided two of my friends who were undecided on joining!!! Bless them!!!

          • michael says:

            The tea party movement reminds me of a cult. A bunch of weak minded idiots that just don’t understand that after 8 horrible years of bush america is finally moving in the right direction.

          • denniso says:

            Joe H…I hope your ‘friends’ can speak better than you.
            AND, Michael is right,of course. You guys had your fool and warmonger president for 8 freaking yrs..now shut up and get out of the way so we can fix the bloody mess that Bush/Cheny created… go play w/ your pretty guns in Iraq or Afghanistan.

          • DaveH says:

            He wasn’t my president Dumniso. The Liberals are thieves and it doesn’t matter that Bush was a controlling thief also. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Obama is going to fix things like Carter fixed them 30 years ago. The only difference being that we may not be able to reverse Obama’s and the Democratic Congressmen’s mistakes. If they succeed in taking away our freedom of speech (they are trying), then even you will be stuck with their ruination of our coutry when you finally (if ever) wake up to reality.

    • charlie says:

      The republicians had tried to submit alternative versions of a healthcare bill. But they were not allowed to in the house thanks to pelosi and reid. Quite frankly this is similar to Nazi Germany. One party had swept in power with social reforms like healthcare. There is no doubt that this is a partisan vote. The party in power is passing what they want disregarding any argument or voter concern at 1 AM in the morning like a burgular.

      Dennisso, you are very very wrong.

      • denniso says:

        Charlie…except for the allusion to nazi germany,your comment is civil. The repubs plan was to never go along w/ any reform. Their continued strategy is to delay it as much as possible. THEY forced a reading of an ammendment that took hours and pushed back the vote till 1:00am…the only way the vote could have been at a more civilized time was if the Dems let the repub strategy postpone the vote to the next day..in other words,let the repubs plan for stalling work.They would be fools if they did that. The repubs want NO healthcare reform..never did and never will. They sleep w/ the insurance industry.

        • Beberoni says:

          Correction. The democrats cronies own these insurance companies that are going to run this “socialized medicine” thing. The republicans wont sleep with them. Either will the Libertarians. Your boys are diseased, moral-less, evil scumbags, who are in this to make a buck, and thats it. If you cant see that, you need to wake up. Its all about them making cash for each other. The mob is alive and well, represented by the democrat party.

        • DaveH says:

          They don’t want it because it isn’t reform. It is Unconstitutional, and it is theft. The Democrats want to force their way on hard-working doctors and patients. Big Government has been getting in the way of the free market for many decades. Big Government has messed up the health care market as well as many other markets, and you want to throw more good money after the bad? Big Government is the problem, not the solution.
          Try all you want to achieve the moral high-ground, but you are just an immoral thief who wants to control other peoples’ choices.

      • Curtis S says:

        Congratulations Charlie! You are the first person to break Godwin’s Law of Internet debate (established 1990). You automatically LOSE.

        • Average Joe says:

          Curtis S says:
          December 22, 2009 at 1:26 am,
          Maybe not:
          Godwin’s Law applies especially to inappropriate, inordinate, or hyperbolic comparisons of other situations (or one’s opponent) with Hitler or Nazis or their actions. The corollaries of the law would presumably not apply to discussions covering genocide, propaganda, or other mainstays of the Nazi Germany, or, more debatably, to discussion of other totalitarian regimes, since a Nazi comparison in those circumstances is understandable. Whether it applies to humorous use or references to oneself is open to interpretation, since this would not be a fallacious attack against a debate opponent.

          However, Godwin’s Law itself can be abused, as a distraction, diversion or even censorship, that fallaciously miscasts an opponent’s argument as hyperbole, especially if the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate. A 2005 Reason magazine article argued that Godwin’s Law is often misused to ridicule even valid comparisons

          In this case I find the comparrison appropriate…Open mouth….switch feet……..

        • Beberoni says:

          Say Curtis, you need to shup homebread. You pickin up what Im laying down holmes. You be like suckin down some 40′s on the porch cuz? Liking the government handouts you all. Yeah, your like that, bro.

    • American Citizen says:

      Where have you been or what or who do you listen to? The Republicans have their own bill which was not even given a hearing. It has everything in that the people have asked for, not the enslavement in the House and Senate bills.

    • DaveH says:

      Norm,
      That’s because you get your information from the Fringe Media. The Republicans have offered several ideas for the current health care mess. Most of them involve getting Government out of healthcare. Even the Republican cures don’t go far enough.
      Here are the only real solutions (I don’t expect you to comprehend them):
      http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=279

      • Joe H. says:

        Norm,
        Congressman Steven LaTourette (R,OH) co-sponsored a bill with Mary Captur (D,OH) that put all public officials on the same insurance that we would be on and it never got any time at all cause they weren’t having any of that!!!! We aren’t good enough to be on THEIR health plan!!!!

    • Beberoni says:

      Im glad you like it Norm, since if your working youll be paying for it along with the rest of us. I dont like it, because its not helping, but hurting the majority of us. It will only benefit the bum that doesnt want to work for a living. But then again, Ive taken the time and read up on this thing, and have gotten myself educated to see what it really is. Democratic cronies owning large insurance companies to step in and run this thing, making billions and line the left wing liberal politicians pockets. Yeah, thats how it is. If is was so wonderful, why did they have to buy so many peoples votes to pass it? Why?

    • NORM DREAMER

      • denniso says:

        • DaveH says:

          There is nothing intelligent about what you advocate Dumniso. Any ignorant person can vote to control the choices of others. Any ignorant person can vote to steal money from others.
          It is not intelligent, Dumniso, it is immoral.

        • Beberoni says:

          Thats ok, at least they worked for a living. I dont want to pay for guys like you that wont work, and sit around on the porch drinking 40′s all day, smoking j’s and whatever, and not even trying to get a job. Those people dont have insurance, because they are worthless and dont want it, unless I pay for it, and your [word removed] right I got a problem with that. Be a man, get a job, and pay your way and carry your own weight, and quit being a burden to society. That is the real problem.

    • Earlw says:

      Hey Norm! We are NOT a democracy!!! We are a constitutional republic!! Say the pledge of allegiance and see if the word democracy is in it…

    THIS IS THE bIGGEST TRAVESTY OF ALL TIMES. DEMOCRATS ARE SO HUNGRY TO SATISFY OBAMA. THEY HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR THE AMERICA CITIZENS AND OR THEIR CONCERNS. THIS BILL IS SUCH A FEASCO. THIS IS NOT REFORM.IF WILL PAY OFF BIG BUDDIES AND INSURENCE COMPANYS. IF IT WAS SO GREAT WHY ARE THEY NOT ON BOARD.?? THERE IS SO MUCH PORK AND PAY PAY BACKS. WE START PAYING NOW FOR A PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT START UNTIL 2014,!! DA!! STILL ROBBING MEDICARE.? THEY HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS. DEFINATELY “EVERYONE” IN WASHINGTON “WILL” BE VOTED OUT. “EVERYONE”

  6. TOM in MI says:

    American Patriot,
    I share your anger and dislike for the Obama, Reid and Pelosi unholy trinity. Unfortunately I am not as asured about the day of reckoning in 2010 as you are. There is a pearl of wisdom attributed to Stalin (heard of that greatest freedom loving democrat in the history of mankind?): “Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything”. In 2010 all of ACORN will be mobilized to empty the cemeteries and register the deceased to vote; a lot of precincts will end up more absentee ballots than voting age people and our DEAR LEADERS in the Senate and Congress will be voted in with 99.7% of the votes! I lived in the dream-world of a socialist paradise (not the USSR) when Stalin was the Supreme Lord and have no illusions whatever about where our present “leaders” want to take the country… However, in case of a victorious revolution the present enablers will be the first ones to be zapped: they are the dispensable useful idiots (Lenin’s term). I hope you are right and I am wrong!

    • American Patriot says:

      TOM
      You are corect in say that the communist organization called Acorn will definately be at large in the comming 2010 judgement day ellections all accross our great country to resorrect the dead and stuff the ballot box in the favor of the destructive demonocrat party.!!!! that is why it is vitally important that we all start now and be sure to educate everyone who is still lost in not knowing the trueth of what is taking place inside the secretly closed doors of washington dc. !!!! it is imparitive that we take the next ten months an educate every single person that we can urdge them to join the tea party movement and listen to talk radio and Fox news cable network , the only media left that is reporting the trueth as too what is really taking place in the political front.!!!. Yes you are correct and the supreme court justice just ruled it unconstitutional that Acorn can not reseive government funds , i mean tax payer funds again even after there criminal actions that were under investagation by the farse of a attorney general… the marxist communist peewee eric holder , little steadman who eats his lunch everyday out of obombda’s big black evil hands.!!!! this little man boy child has already stop his farse of a investigation , actually lefy acorn investigate themselves and report back their findings to him and restitution has been restored and there name is cleared to continue business as usual.!!! its a disgrace to the law biding american citizens.!!!!!. and on top of that they turned the real investigation on those brave american patriots who uncovered the trueth of whats really going on criminally with this marxist communist organization.!!!! its an outrage.!!! these brave citizens are now on trial for doing the right thing by uncovering the criminal actions that the criminal org. acorn is involved in.!!!!!!. we should all pool money to help with the defence funds to these true american patriots are going to need to fight back.!!! lts a mockery of social justice.!!!. its just one small example of whats to come from the far left radical dictator administration and the abuse of power against the law biding american citizens.!!!!. horendous stories like this one will become comon news in the transformation of our great free country of america.!!!!!!. we must wake up the dead before their identities are stolen and stuffed into the ballot box in favor of the marxist communist far radical left movement.!!!!!.

    • denniso says:

      Tom…such absurd nonsense!! equating the Dems w/ Stalin..boy,what a historian you are. I think you should read a little more(real books) and spout a lot less.

      • Average Joe says:

        denniso says:
        Maybe you should take your own advice…Start with the Constitution, The Federalist Papers, The Bill of Rights. Again you rant…with no substance…you my friend are a self entiled know nothing. Just because you can’t afford insurance, you think that everyone else should pitch in and buy it for you? Pissoff…it ain’t happening. If I choose to help someone, that is called CHARITY…when I am forced to help someone…that is called COERSION! I wont be participating regardless of the consequences to me personally. When the Government gives you something…it means they stole it from someone else….because the government produces nothing…other than mountains of paperwork and extremely high debts…which they pass on to us to pay..I am tired of paying and I am tired of the national government involving itself with our personal lives on a daily basis (that is not their job, again read those documents to know what their job is). GET A GRIP!

        The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded.
        Montesquieu (1689–1755)

        The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.
        John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

        A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.
        The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.
        Alexander Tytler (1747–1813)
        (On the fall of Athenian republic)

        • American Citizen says:

          Some say we are on our way to apathy and that’s not far from bondage.

          • Average Joe says:

            American Citizen,
            We are not on the road to apathy, we have been there for about 50 years. We are finally starting to wake up and question authority (which is a good thing). Since the late 1950′s we have been nothing more than consumers..we are no longer looked at as human beings,we are wallets waiting to be plucked.

        • Joe H. says:

          Average Joe,
          you have it wrong!! When they take it by force it is THEFT!!!!!

          • Average Joe says:

            Joe H.,
            I used that term (theft) in a earlier post, however,you are correct it is theft.

            co·er·cion [ kō úr'n ]

            noun

            Definition:

            1. forcing of somebody to do something: the use of force or threats to make somebody do something against his or her will

            2. force used to compel somebody: force or threats used to make somebody do something against his or her will

            Theft can be performed by many means (B&E,shoplifting etc.). Coersion is still proper in this case as we are being “forced” to submit to something against our will with a threat of fines and incarceration. Just a little clarification on why I chose the word Coersion over Theft in this instance.

      • DaveH says:

        Denniso,
        It is you who spouts absurd Nonsense. Of course what else can a blindered Liberal thief do? No amount of legitimate logic could be brought forth to support your unsupported Hopes and Dreams and Theft.

Problem is, its not going to happen that way, and anyone that thinks that it is, needs to have their medula oblangata checked, because something isnt firing right inside of it.

    • gaetano says:

      Ron,You are right. When republicans talk about voteing them out,and thats the only way,it will never happen. This was a planned deal since 2006 when democrats took over congress.You just saw what happened to the vote in afganistan.There will never be a true vote again.I do believe a revolutionary war is coming.Its sad to say,but we that are against this must make the first move and get the first punch in. And for all those racist fools that keep bringing it up.You keep talking about slavery, well keep your eyes open and you will see,whites, blacks, yellows, reds, and the so called browns, all in chains.NOW, to the canadian with his love of canada and health care. Go to Buffalo, N.Y. and look at all the canadians in line every day trying to get in on our free clinics for help.I`m 66, and have cancer,but that doesn`t mean that I am ready to die, but one thing for sure , I can still pull a trigger.

  8. Connie says:

    To Norm: If you “didn’t hear one consturctive idea from them (Republicans)” then you must be deaf. There were many plans circulating. And unless you have been given a privilage even the people expected to cast a vote on the healthcare bill haven’t been given—unless you have gotten YOUR hands on it to read it, how do you know that there are distortions or diversions? I hope you won’t come back to say that you trust what Obama has said about the bill. We all know about his promises and how he follows through.

    • denniso says:

      The repubs have fought reform forever and only came up w/ half baked ideas to try to sabotage the Dems plans. It was a farcical and cynical attempt that will fail and most intelligent people see through it.

      • American Citizen says:

        The Republican bill had everything in it the people asked for, the Dems’ bill doesn’t. All it has in it is enslavement. Get real.

        • Jana says:

          To see the Rep. Alternative go to : birds.bellaonline.com/articles/art64356

          These are great ideas without having to make a lot of changes we don’t want they fix what’s wrong. Sure we have a long way to go, but this Dem.bill is too costly for the American consumer.

      • DaveH says:

        Half-baked ideas? So then Denniso, you can explain to us how Socialism is going to work in this country when it has failed everywhere else? Talk about ignorant. Democrats are losing their backing quickly with the American people. In that respect Obama has been good for this country.
        Only the most ignorant people can expect more productivity out of enslaved citizens. And without productivity we all lose.

      • Beberoni says:

        Dems dont have plans. They have schemes, because everything they do is underhanded with a hidden agenda. But you cant see that, because you dont want to. Harpy.

      • Joe H. says:

        dennislobber,
        Putting them on the same type of plan as us is half baked???? Why, are they so much better than us??? Do they deserve more service than any normal citizen?? Who do they SERVE??? Why would they deserve any more service than a crippled vet? especially if they haven’t served to protect us? Why should they get preferential service over say a wounded honest cop???? Or a horribly burned fireman??? At least they were honestly serving US as the politicians were supposed to!!!

        • denniso says:

          Uh, cops and firemen work for the evil gov’t and have good insurance.

          • Average Joe says:

            denniso,

            Let me see here…..police and firemen work for local, county and state municipalities…not the Federal Governmnet.If they are unhappy with their health care insuance, they can 1) change insurance companies, 2) they move can somewhere that has what they are looking for. However, when the Federal Government “mandates” for the entire nation….moving makes no difference, nor can they shop around for another policy that meets their reqirments. That my freind removes free choice.With a national policy you get what they give you…if you don’t like it…tuff beans…..don’t like the price…too bad…don’t like the co-pays etc…again…too bad for you, deal with it.
            Please show me where the Federal Government has ever run anything that stayed within the budget that they set.I mean really approx. 13 Trillion in Federal debt and growing by the minute,BTW that is 13 trillion that we don’t have…remember? the Federal Reserve just printed [out of thin air , I might add] 2 trillion to bail out all of those “too big to fail” institutions and then handed the bill to the we the tax payers….nice work if you can get it. Those 2B2F instittutions should never have been allowed to get that big in the first place, but once they did, they should have gone through normal channels (bankruptcy, being sold off in pieces to other companies that did not gamble with their clients money, you know…responsible companies). For years now the Federal government has allowed the insurance companies to basically write the the regulations that they themselves abide by and now for some reason you think that they have not been involved in writing this particular piece of garbage legislation? You can bet you life (which you are) that the insurance companies are going to make a killing (literally and figuratively) on this sweetheart deal with the government….when it is mandatory, you can charge whatever you want because everyone must have it. If they decide to raise the price 100% every year, you have to have it…you have to pay it…take a look at auto insurance prices since it has been made mandatory by the states…absolutely out of control, buy a new car nowadays and your insurance payments are almost as high as your car payment! Why?…because it is mandatory.
            Denniso,you are the type of person that has a puzzle in front of you and all you see is the pieces…you don’t see the whole pictue…just the pieces.How can you put the puzzle together if you can’t see the whole picture? OK…I have wasted enough of my time (a valuable commodity that can never be replaced) trying to wake you up…the rest is on you.

          • Beberoni says:

            Uh oh denniso, looks like youve been exposed not knowing what your talking about, yet again.

      • Beberoni says:

        I am a working man, and I like the insurance program I have now. I gladly pay my premiums, and I dont have to worry about anything. I suggest if anyone has a problem, that they get off their fat lazy democrat pacifist appeasing butts, and get a job, maybe two if necessary, they wont have to worry either. Oh, but wait. Here comes Obama the savior for the losers. No need to work, stay on the porch, heres a higher unemployment check, and you can collect it for 6 months more. Heres some more food stamps to eat with. Hey, here is some free health insurance. No worry, all the working stiffs will pay for it for you. Dont even worry about getting a job. Just sit there and do nothing and let the workers take care of you. After all, thats why Barack is here, to take care of you that arent adult and mature enough to take care of yourselves. What a bunch of wimpy losers.

  9. Jim S says:

    The democrates have crossed the line by passing this regislation against the peoples wishes. I believe this is a modern day call to arms. We must now do whatever is necessary, by whatever means needed to take our republic back.

    We can start by voting every democrate that sold out the American public out of office. After that we need to get this usless Socialist President out of office.

    I for one will answer a call to Arms if need be and we need to start organizing a grass roots militia that may be called to sieze control of our govermnment back. We must start organizing NOW for whatever will be needed to defeat this communist regime…..

    • denniso says:

      Go to Iraq if you want to play w/ your guns,big fella…in the meantime,people are watching you. You’d better be careful who you threaten. You gun nuts are nothing but simple cowards w/ little ability to do anything but spout violence.

      • therepublicoftexas says:

        denniso: You are the worst kind of ignorant jackass. Your posts are what drive us real Americans into a frenzy. You don’t quote any facts and are definitely drinking the koolaid of this radical, fascist administration we have in office. where does it say in our constitution or bill of rights that healthcare is a right guaranteed by this government? Where??? Nowhere!!! Healthcare is not a God-given right. Our healthcare system is the best in the world. Yes, it does need some reform but not an entire revamping. This is nothing but a power grab by the government to control another aspect of our lives. The only jobs it will create are government jobs for the 117 agencies this healthcare bill will create. 117 government agencies!!!!! And if this healthcare bill is so wonderful, then why is the government not signed on for it also??? Because WE pay for their cadillac healthcare for the rest of their lives, idiot. Why would they sign on for rationed healthcare? How do you think they’re going to provide coverage for 30 million Americans while the doctors and hospitals go out of business because of the lousy payment system by the government. Have you not ever looked at other government-run programs? Postal Serve, Amtrak, Medicare, Social Security, DMV – all over budget and wrought with fraud. Wake up, you idiot and look around you at what the goverment already controls. And you want them to control our healthcare. Lord have mercy on us. And please forgive the ignoramouses who drink the koolaid since they’re unable to see clearly.

        • American Citizen says:

          The government program I worked under in the school system also went broke. I’m not sure if it’s even still in existence as I’m retired. All I know is, the schools hired less people who worked in the program every year and fewer children were able to be helped. Would you say rationed help?

        • DaveH says:

          Yes, and if the Government is lawless, how can they expect the citizens to be otherwise? The Democrats in their greed for power and other peoples’ money are plunging this country into chaos. I fully expect many states to start seceding from this lawless Union if the Democrats continue to ignore the Constitution.
          Write your state representatives and let them know that you favor leaving the Union if the Federal Government continues to ignore the laws of the land.

        • Joe H. says:

          therepublicoftexas,
          I don’t believe the time is here to resort to armed insurrection yet!!! I believe that now that we have woke up the citizenry we need to try the vote again to see if it works. I don’t believe O-man would resort to martial law to stay in office as the repubs that are in office would raise too much of a stink and the armed forces wouldn’t stand for it. They wouldn’t stand for Nato forces on American soil either!!! We need to exhaust ALL legal means!!!

          • Average Joe says:

            Joe H.,

            Why do you think so many of our troops are scattered all over the globe?….because when those foreign troops do arrive to quell the American uprising…the only ones to protect us…is ourselves. Our troops will be thousands of miles away and unable to render assistance to the American people. Those foreign troops will have no qualms at all about shooting us on sight if the order is given. We are not scattered throughout the world “protecting our interests”…we scattered to make the transition easier for the powers that be to take over our nation with the least amount of resistance.Yes many of the people have guns and yes most can hit their targets, but the average gun owner is not well trained in the art of war and as such, we will be pretty easy pickings for a military takeover of the nation.
            I don’t believe that they want to ban guns at all. I believe that they try to anger gun owners so that they will buy more guns each time they talk about gun control, this will help them to justify the use of deadly force upon the American people when they decide it is time to do the deed.
            Just an observation.

          • denniso says:

            Tex and others..isn’t the military that you worship also a gov’t program?? It’s not a private endeavor is it?? Does the military function well?? Does the military exist only because it’s a gov’t entity or not??

          • Beberoni says:

            denniso, (Words removed for offensive content). The military exists because there are actually young men and women in this country who VOLUNTEER, to serve to keep us all save, and to keep evil at bay, and to allow jack-asses like you to spew your anti-American venom all over because of freedom we all have only because of their efforts. Now shut up, take a couple more valiums, and get back into your rubber room. How long must I put up with you.

      • John says:

        Denso I know some cops that are gun-nuts and that have literally had to kill in order to protect cowards like yourself!

      • Jana says:

        denniso, the one that truly spouts violence is our so called President. He is starting his own private militia. Now that is scary.

        • denniso says:

          Simply wrong..check the facts before you spout what amounts to lies.

        • Average Joe says:

          Jana,
          Actually, GW Bush started this “Private Militia”, or have you forgotten about Blackwater in Iraq or Blackwater in New Orleans after Katrina? I personally do not believe that the government should be hiring private contractors to fight our wars…unless it is under Marque and Reprisals (in which case it is to do one certain job and then exit employment…not as a full time force).These private contractors are made up of mostly foreign nationals and former mercenaries and should never set foot on American Soil…period.
          Although Bush was the first to make it openly known that the Federal government has a private Army, I have no doubts that the Feds have been putting this into play for many years….after all they need someone to protect their lawless actions from the American people.

      • Beberoni says:

        And if your democrat leaders continue to insist on doing their illegal activities, and oppressing the working man, one of these days these guys you so attack, are going to come after losers with big mouths like you dumbniso, then I ask, ” what you gonna do when they come for you?”

    Go MR. Reid. We cannot afford you and your crooked ideas. Remember, we have to pay for all of the deals that you are making in the dead of night in order to BUY the VOTES needed to Shove this through before the Christmas break. What is the rush? Are you afraid that when you go home you won’t have control over the others and you will have to make additional new deals to make it work. A good Bill does not need to be bought off at voting time, it will happen naturally.

    Mr. Reid, you are not acting in responsible and in the best wishes of the vast majority of the Tax payers of America. Mr. Reid, have you completely lost your mind? Are you even making your own decisions? Sounds like you are more like a puppet being controlled from the White House. If so, you are no longer a real man. You are just a WIMP.

    We cannot afford your Health care plan. You are not a business man with current experience. You have been living in a make believe world far too long to be of any good to the working man of America. Please stop making decisions that are going to cause us to lose all of our own money due to your STUPID Mistakes.

    Again, go home Mr. Reid. We cannot afford you either. I am sure that there are things in your home state that you could do on YOUR OWN where you can stay out of the lime light and out of the way of others. You are welcome to encourage as many of the other crooked Congressmen and Senators to retire and leave Washington with you. I am sure that you folks don’t decide to retire, we Americans and the voters will have to clean house at voting time and replace every single one of you with good and honest people. People that will have to undo all that you have done to us.

    Obviouly NORM one of the Democrates that has blinders on with regards to what was just passed. He will realize all too soon what a travesty this bill is when his insurance premiums are hiked beyond what he cal afford.

    It is a shame the people like NORM benefit from all of the things Americans take for granted yet are so blind to what this communist regime is doing to our Country. Shame on you NORM………………

      AMERICAN PATRIOY….

  14. Rudy says:

    Norm,

    Are you living on this planet???? The bill was written behind closed doors, blocking out any Republican ideas by the current communist administration. Were you one of those “SMART” people that voted for DumbBama? I’ll bet you were. God help us all.

    I hope once the Republicans and Independent’s take back the House and Senate these insane laws can be repealed.

    I’m 67 year old independent voter, worked my entire life, paid taxes and still pay taxes and paid into Medicare and Social Security. I’ll be darned if I want to pay my hard earned money into some other state because of these backdoor “on their knees” deals in order to pass this crap bill.

    • Jay From Colo says:

      I must agree with Rudy, I to am in my mid sixties and have paid taxes for the past 55+ years, and voted in
      every election. I hope for the time being that all the
      ignorant libs such as DennisO, & Norm got the change they wanted, but I don’t believe this is over yet.
      They don’t evidently know that this is unconstitusional, and that there are some very fine folks out her that are realy pissed, & would love to just kick your stupid ass. But that wouldn’t help so I guess our only hope is to get the scum bag socialists out of office next election, and hope for the best.
      If that doesn’t work then maybe they will see what the 2nd ammendment is all about. 1st hand.

      • JAY
        YES YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT THE FIRST STEP IN NEW THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IS TO TAKE BACK OUR GREAT FREE COUNTRY IN NOV. 2010 AND IF THAT STEP IS VOIDED THEN IT PROGRESSES FROM THERE.

  15. TeresaE says:

    This isn’t about health (of course, neither is our medical system – it is about milking the most $$ out of your pockets before your inevitible death), this is about CONTROL.

    Control of our bodies, our children, our thoughts, our food (all processed, GMO or poisoned in the name of “safety”), our spendable money and our very lives.

    The blinding ability of my fellow countrymen to be lazy and hold onto the lie that the government writes laws to make the common man’s life better, is astonishing.

    History, and EVERY government office in the country have shown us how effective the government is at managing anything. We KNOW how this will turn out.

    We are FUBAR friends. Good ole Norm will be the first one at our doorsteps crying about how bad it is soon enough.

    Sadly, so will you and I.

      • Beberoni says:

        Norms the guy, that when he see’s his taxes are raised to pay for insurance for all the unemployed crack heads that this reform benefits, then he will blame Bush, because thats what they do. Thats all they know.

    • American Citizen says:

      If you think the health care system isn’t about health, then you must be in good health or you wouldn’t say that. I have been fighting cancer now for over 12 years and have nothing but concerned doctors the whole time. It’s only due to them that I am still here and in relatively good health for my 75 years. If you think doctors are in it for the money, you don’t know how long it takes before they actually earn a fairly good living. It takes years, lots of them. I could tell you why, but that would be another long page here.

      • American Citizen says:

        Sorry, Theresa, I misread your post. Of course this bill is not about health, anything but. It’s about taking control of the whole system and the insurance industry. Eventually, everybody will have to depend on the government and the little care they will get if any at all. Anyone who is the least bit farseeing can see the results of these bills.

        • Beberoni says:

          Its all about a power grab and money. The dems have insurance company buddies, that are going to run this thing, make billions, and then line their pockets as a thank you, while they pluder the citizens and the countries revenue to pay for all this, while they get richer and richer. Thats all its about. Its not about helping needy people get insurance. They have no clue to who that even is, and whats more, they dont care to know. They want money, theyve fixed it so they are going to get money, and they have a license to steal. The mob runs the democrats, and now they won this round. Hopefully, people have woke up, and will educated themselves next election as to who these people are they are voting for, no matter what side of the aisle you vote on. Its time to get educated, and not just vote for whomever has the most TV commercials, or has a “catch phrase” like change-change-change. Unbelievable that this is all the guy brought to the table, and it got him elected. Shame on the American public for allowing themselves to be bamboozled like this.

          • DaveH says:

            The first and most important thing we need to do is remove our children from the propaganda schools. That is where the Liberals have been able to work their magic.

          • Beberoni says:

            Dave you are so right. They allready control our so called “schools of higher learning” with all these liberal ex hippie professors, who are anti military, anti God, anti conservative, anti capitalist, and they teach our kids about to enter the business arena that these good things are all bad. They are running our high schools, and now are screwing these kids heads up in the elementary arena, grooming them for future left wing liberal ideals. Its sad to see the destruction of this country I love so much, by these left wing liberals who do not care about America one iota. I wish I knew where we went off the track and, and how to get us back on it. I really do. Id give my life to get it right for the benefit of others. You wont get that from a liberal, I guarantee it.

  16. Harold says:

    First of all, why isn’t there anymore discussion about Obama’s citizenship? We, as Americans, need to force Congress or whomever needs to be challenged, to force this undocumented, illegal immigrant, phony farce, anti-American, Socialist, Communist, Fascist, Marxist, racist, Muslim, out of office. He is the most arrogant person to ever have been in any position(s), such as he has held, most probably illegally. When are we, as Americans, going to get the “NADS” to march on Washington, DC, and demand that they make Obama prove his legality of citizenship. We have to stop being afraid of the reprisals of his THUGGERY, and man-up, and call him out, with whatever it takes. I will not be forced to pay for any of his policies, because I think that he is not eligible to have held any of the offices that he has held or is presently holding. I will not pay for his Crap and Tax, any amnesty bills, his Obamacare, or any other of his bankrupting policies of this country. I have to give him credit-he waltzes into this country, undocumented, nobody has the balls to challenge him, and he goes about his business, as though he is a native born citizen. Every dog has its day, and sooner or later, this mutt will have to pay the piper.

    • What about the Constitution? Obama is committing unconstitutional acts everyday! Where he was born no longer even matters! Do you really think that they (The Communist) can allow “another” election without knowing that they could be impeached for treason! “We the people” voted for “Jacob’s trouble!”

    • HAROLD

      • LindyMaeUSA says:

        Dear American Patriot Brother,

        From the depths of your heart, you surely must know: it’s WAY TOO LATE to “pray steadfastly” and ask our great God to do ANYTHING to help America now that we’re in REAL trouble!

        If you were God, would you quickly respond to a nation that stood by for 46 years simply watching, listening, saying nothing and DOING NOTHING while your holy name was constantly insulted, ridiculed, cursed, shamed, accused, attacked, undefended, disbelieved and deliberately omitted from their “busy lives” by countless people like Madlyn-Murray O’Hare who did more to damage the very heart and foundation of our beloved Country than any demon-possessed human I’ve ever heard of!

        Since it’s impossible for anyone to “know the mind of God,” I’m aware you can’t answer my question; I can’t answer it either because I have absolutely no clue how far or how much God’s GRACE extends to humanity! I DO know I don’t have the guts to approach His Throne to ask for help NOW THAT WE URGENTLY NEED IT; I/We should have been asking Him to “help us” a long time ago!

        • Joe H. says:

          LindyMaeUSA,
          I can’t say how far it extends, but I can give you an example of its general extent! Look at the city of sodom when God said if Lott could find just ONE believer amongst all of them he would spare the ENTIRE city!!!! I’m sure we have many believers in this country!!!! I believe in God very surely!!! It’s not a question of proof, it’s a question of faith!!!!

        • Jana says:

          LindyMae, it is never too late to pray and ask God to heal our land.

      • gaetano says:

        GOD helps those who helps themselves,SO LETS GET STARTED.All this talk on the tube doesn`t solve anything.And lets not forget some of these names on this blog that are with OBAMA so that they will be the first that we turn done when they need help.

    The only action these idiot dems will understand is a military coup. Or perhaps someone is funded enough to start taking them down, one at a time.

    • YES IT WOULD BE AN AWFUL SHAME IF ONE OF THE FAR LEFT LIBERAL DEM.SENATORS DOES NOT SHOW UP FOR THE VOTE ON HEALTH CONTROL.!!!!.THAT WOULD SAVE THE NATION FOR A LITTLE WHILE UNTIL THEY BOUGHT , PROSTITUTED AND FORCED TORTURE ON ANOTHER PATSY TO TAKE THE NONEY AND GIVE A YEA VOTE.!!!!. WE MUST STOP THE CORRUPTION…!!!!!. THAT THE MARXIST COMMUNIST ADMIISTRATION IS IMPOSING ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.!!!!!!!.. AGAINST THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY OF ALL AMERICANS.!!!!!! GOD HELP US ALL.!!!!!!!.

  18. jim s says:

    I am suprised at how soon everyone forgets how the republican party ran ruf-shod over the country as little as 8 years ago when they had control of both houses, if they wanted a bill passed they just passed it without even any debate, if anyone in thier own party objected Tom Delay would threaten them with political ruin if they did not toe the line.The only news that you hear on regular TV is from FOX news that is controlled by the republican fat cats.The American public are a bunch of sheep following the commercials put on by the insurance industry that is making BILLIONS on the backs of everyone.Not a single elected Republican has offered any other propsal, they only put out scare tactics and outright lies to scare the sheep.You can tell how desperate they are for leaders when they promote someone like Sarah Palin,what a joke, can you imagine her as president, she has never had an intelligent conversation, only talking points to sell her book. I do agree that our politicans are not there to serve us but to serve the MAN with the deepest pockets.People like Rush Limbaugh spread hate and advocate our president failing so as to promote his career, If he told his following to eat crap there would be a run on it. Wake up America, look at who is fighting the hardest to stop this bill, Insurance Companys.

    • WithHoldTaxes says:

      Jim, you all keep talking smack about Palin, would you like to list Obams’s qualifications for Commander in Chief? What grade would you give him now? How come when over half of Americans say NO to this bill, do the dems pass it? Who are they governing for? Not the majority of the American people! The repubs are crooked, with out a doubt, and they need to be ousted also and we need to start from scratch, but to slam Palin or Rush or Fox is just ignorant. FOX is the only station that is exposing the truth about this administration and whats happening on the hill. FOX, TRY IT, YOU’LL LIKE IT!!

    • American Citizen says:

      The reason you say they spread hate is because you don’t like what they are saying. The truth hurts, doesn’t it? You won’t hear it on the lamestream media. They hand in glove with this administration.

    • Beberoni says:

      You are so out of touch with reality. Sarah Palin is the most intelligent politician to show up on the scene in a long time. I mean, come one man, give credit where credit is do, and put away your left wing agenda. She actually represented the people of her state, she balanced the budget, and gave the citizens money back. Ever heard of any politician doing that? I dont think so. That was the republicans mistake, running McCain/Palin, instead of Palin/McCain. If they had their heads on straight and would have done this, we surely wouldnt be in the mess we are in today. Like George Zimmer of the Men’s Warehouse, I guarantee it.

  19. FuzzyWuzzy says:

    There will be no sanity and no real change to the Congress until the entrenched Democrats in “safe” districts are targeted and removed from office. Otherwise, people like; Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, John Conyers, John Murtha, Henry Waxman, Barbara Boxer, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Maxine Waters, Alcee Hastings, Greg Meeks, et al. will continue to run this country. A close look at ANY ONE of the people mentioned will show that they are Corrupt with a capital C, and stupid beyond belief. They must be targeted and removed before we can get this country back-period!

      FW we really do need a balance. We need both parties to have a good balance. If it gets one sided either way, it goes to their heads and it gets out of whack. That is why we do need term limits and to change out all of them, good bad and ugly.

  21. Art says:

    Response to Art:

    I am not too tired out to do all that I can to defend my country. I have sworn to protect my country from enemy’s from outside and INSIDE. Too many people over look as to what they agreed to when they raised their right hand. We all want things to be as peaceful as possible. That is why we are in the mess that we are in right now.

    Wake up America before it is too late.

  22. Sally says:

    This is so unreal as it really happening in the land of the free? Yes indeed. We were all hoping it was a bad dream and we would wake up and be fine. No way!!! Food for thought. I would like to know one only one mind you, country that ever had a black leader that didn’t rob from the people after taking office and line their pockets (with our money of course since we support the whole world) Even the Copenhagen conference, guess who they wanted to pay for everything. What this healthcare bill if passed will do, is that you will see a mass exodus of people with money taking their wealth with them leaving only the poor suckers in the US who have to work and have all of their assets in housing which they can’t sell. In Mexico for example, you can have a dual citizenship, live like a King on 2000 USD per month, have all the things like Walmart, Hight speed internet, cable TV etc., medical insurance $350 per YEAR including all drugs and the DR/s make housecalls. This is just one example there are many such countries. Don’t want to do it but what can I say

    • SALLY
      YES YOU ARE RIGHT ON, AFTER THE COMMUNIST TAKE OVER AND DESTROY OUR ECONOMY .

      AMERICAN PATRIOT…

    • LindyMaeUSA says:

      Hi Sally,

      In response to “living somewhere else” I was so angry, disgusted and disillusioned three years ago watching how MUCH MORE “daring and audacious” the government had become about screwing the Middle Class into extinction, I “packed my bags” and headed for what I THOUGHT would be “a new life” in Australia but . . . that didn’t happen!

      Imagine my shock and horror when I applied for “Residency” and their immigration department told me: “Pensioners like yourself CANNOT RETIRE IN AUSTRALIA without posting a $250,000. “Medical Insurance Bond” with the government so that if and when you need major medical treatment (e.g. hip replacement, Cancer therapy, etc.) we’ll simply take those costs from the bond you posted when you came here instead of our government paying for your treatments!”

      Stunned and almost disbelieving at what I’d just been told, I said: “Oh my God! I wish MY Country had passed the same law 50 years ago!” The officer smiled as she leaned toward me and whispered: “WE SAW YOUR MISTAKE sweetie, and decided: we ain’t doin’ that!”

      Needless-to-say, I was sickened, disappointed and dejected that “my HOPES of living peacefully somewhere else” had been turned away; I had no choice but to return to the US.

      I checked with England immigration in 2008, and that country requires a “guaranteed yearly income” of £37,000. (roughly $61,050.) from Pensioners/Retirees in order to live there, even if you have a relative (son/daughter) you’d live with!

      If you’re a “normal” Senior with less than $50,000. a year income like I am, finding another country to live in WON’T be easy, if you find one at all!

  23. WithHoldTaxes says:

    This is nuts. And for some reason they believe they can get away with it, and from what I see, they can. They would be shutdown if they didn’t have our money coming in. What if all Americans changed their tax exemptions so we all pay the least amount per check, then when tax time comes around for 2010, no one pays the difference between what they paid during the year( a reduced amount due to changing withholdings)and what their taxes say they owe? An ALL American boycott of the government. Do you think that might get their attention?! As far as bearing arms, storming DC, and taking our government back, that movement would have to be lawyered up big time and the movement would have to be huge, millions, not thousands, not sure thats the safest way.

    • DaveH says:

      WithHold,
      It wouldn’t work. They would just borrow or print more money. The best we can hope for is to wake up our fellow citizens and throw the bums out of office. That includes almost all of the Democrats and many of the Republicans.

      • Beberoni says:

        Again, I couldnt agree more. I am voting against every Republican incumbant this election, to personally send my message that Im not happy with their job performance. I also realize that over 90 percent of the democrats wont do this, because they are so blind they think their guys are doing good, taxing this nation into oblivion, and giving the failures of the world free everything, and punishing the sucessful for being hard working and sucessful. But Im going to do my part, and send my message. If they dont want to, thats on them. I still think my new people can take their old, and soon we will see. I will vote Libertarian for a good candidate also, and I, unlike the uneducated left, actually read up on candidates, and take the time to seen where they have been, and what they have done, so make an educated judgement on whether they are worthy of my vote. I wont be swayed by 10,000 commercials on TV saying change-change-change to blindly get my vote. Thats what losers do.

  24. Art says:

    Speaking of Obama’s Birth Place. A friend was traveling all over Kenya recently and every hut has a picture of their home country hero.

    Obama

    • Beberoni says:

      The Kenyan is the king, isnt he? Birth certificate? We dont need no stinking birth certificate. College credentials? We dont need no stinking college credentials. Experience? We dont need no stinking experience. So says the democrats.

  25. Bill says:

    It is about time for citizen referendum for term limits. Also as a public service PUBLISH ALL VOTING RECORDS ON THE INTERNET, NEWSPAPERS.
    BILLBOARDS AT VOTING TIME IN SPRING FOR PRIMARIES AND IN SEPT. AND NOV.

    • Joe H. says:

      Bill,
      I don’t believe that law enforced term limits are the way to go!!! Where is the incentive to do a good job? If they know they are out after two terms as a senator, why should they do a good job? We have a couple of guys that are at least trying to do a good job, why throw them out??? If we get a man in that is very conservative in his dealings then why take the chance of getting in someone that isn’t???

  26. There is much said about “Sharing the wealth” Think about it, we have been sharing the wealth since the 60s, when you can work all you want to and still it is almost impossible to afford kids, but right on the other hand you gan set on your rear and have bastard kids and they take the money from the worker and pay the way for the bastard kids, now be honest, is that not sharing the wealth? now all those many bastards are of voting age, GOD HELP US they have never had to “root hog or die poor”Anybody that has one eye and half sense could see this coming! Just hope that 2 years from now they have not taken your home you worked for for 30 and given it to someone “less fortunate”.

  27. ImpeachObama says:

    Jim S and Norm,
    Here’s some name-calling for you – you are obviously in love with the lying damn democrats. They are all corrupt, power-hungry, money-hungry whores! Nelson acts like he has some concern for unborn babies until Obama agrees to pay for the state’s medicaid FOREVER! He sold out like the whore he really is. Where the hell does that scumbag obama think he has the right to send my tax dollars to Nebraska to pay for their state medicaid program. I think the guy that said it’s time to quit paying taxes is RIGHT! Then, we are going to have to shoot the SOB’s that come to take the tax money. We are back to where we were just before the war with England for independence. We are going to have to defeat the scum in Washington with force. DAMN every liberal/socialist/communist SOB in Washington, no matter what their party affiliation; and that scumbag obama should be hanged for treason!
    Is that enough name-calling and hate for you, liberal? (no, you nor obama deserve your name capitalized)

    • WithHoldTaxes says:

      Impeach, I am with you with this, PLUS, you can add in the Republicans also. They are all just as corrupt and out of touch with the American people. Crooks, nothing but crooks. They would of hosed us over if they were in office with their liberal Commander in Chief also. We need to run everyone out and start from scratch.

        • c lee says:

          Dave H. Iam with you all the way. Vote out every one of the crimenals in office and replace them with libetearins. If we dont do it this time around I dont think we will get a second chance.

          • Tom says:

            I’ve been saying for years to vote the incumbent out. That my friends should be the name of the third political party of this country. Do you know how it is that these Shitheads keep getting reelected? The boundary maps of the districts that each of them represent look like a preschool child with a crayon drew the borders. Not one of these maps are a square or rectangle. If you were to be asked to identify the shape of these districts you couldn’t, because there is no name for the shape these pols. have had their districts redrawn into for their favor to where it is that all the CHUMPS that they know will vote for them are in said boundaries. How do we get the lawmakers to redraw the districts where the incumbent is not guaranteed to win every election. All of these boundaries should be square or rectangle. Go ahead and take a look at your Senators and Congressmen/women voting boundaries, you won’t believe the shape it’s draw like.

          • DaveH says:

            I agree Tom. That Gerrymandering crap should be illegal. I can’t believe the voters don’t raise a fuss about that.

        • gaetano says:

          Sorry, but voting won`t do it. The congress has broken more constitutional laws then all crimminals in prison.The elections are fraud.All the money being paid for bribe of votes should be given to the people to pay for our own health bills. All republican congress should go to the united nations and declare war,then walk out of congress and get the ball rolling .

        • Beberoni says:

          I saw the Libertarians stance on religion, which made it sound like it is neutral on it, which means to me its ok, that they wouldnt interfere in someones right to worship Jesus Christ, which it seems the current government is starting to do. My question is, if you know the answer which I didnt see in there anywhere, is would the Libertarians take away the tax free status of the church? If so , that would be a terrible thing for the church, and downright destructive. I believe that most of the money that comes into a church comes from its participants, and the government should not be able to tax that money, at all. However, I also believe that waiters and waitresses make tips on volutary giving of individuals, and the government should have no right to tax that money either, but they do. But before I would vote this way, I would need to know if they were going to attack the church in this way, and if they would, I couldnt support them. I will be researching this and looking for answers, but I thought Id ask you, because you promote them quite often, and you come across to me as quite an intelligent person, so let me know if your up on this aspect of the Libertarians. Thanks Dave.

          • DaveH says:

            Beberoni,
            The Libertarians want to eliminate the Income Tax. That would solve your dilemma.

            From the Libertarian Party Platform:
            “2.4 Government Finance and Spending

            All persons are entitled to keep the fruits of their labor. We call for the repeal of the income tax, the abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service and all federal programs and services not required under the U.S. Constitution. We oppose any legal requirements forcing employers to serve as tax collectors. Government should not incur debt, which burdens future generations without their consent. We support the passage of a “Balanced Budget Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution, provided that the budget is balanced exclusively by cutting expenditures, and not by raising taxes.”

            See for yourself:
            http://libertarianparty.org/platform

            I can’t speak for the Party, but I personally believe there should only be a tax on individuals. That would also solve your problem with the churches.

          • Beberoni says:

            Your a good man Dave, thanks. You see people, Dave and I are much different, but are mature enough to respect each other. I am a Christian, and Dave is an atheist. Im not going to try to force my beliefs of Jesus down Dave’s throat, and Dave is not going to try to attack me because I believe. We both have this thing, called being an American, loving this country we live in, and it hurts us both to see what the liberals are trying to do to it, and watching the politicians on both sides do damning things to it. We the people have the power, not the politicians. Vote out the incumbants on both sides of the aisle, and send the message please. Put aside left and right,liberal and conservative, and put America first, and vote out the incumbants and send the message to them, that they better start serving us the people. We are in charge of who sits in those offices. Its up to us, not them. Thank you Dave, for being a good American.

    • Beberoni says:

      And the [word removed] will probably be dumb enough to march around in red coats for us to shoot at, because they never learn from mistakes of the past, they just keep repeating them.

  28. Warrior says:

    This chapter in our history is absolutely shameful. If you want to effect real change the only hope is for a third party. Anyone running as a Dem/Rep cannot restore sanity to this out of control mess. As freshman senator/congress creatures they will fall right in line regardless of campaign platform or hype. Third party candidates are the only hope. They will be ostracized and ineffective as far as generating meaningful legislation until they can gain numbers in both houses. So it will take 2-3 election terms to make significant impact.

    • DaveH says:

      Warrior,
      If enough people wake up to the reality and failure of Big Government, we could have a sea-change. It has happened before, it can happen again.

  29. Raggs says:

    You people are missing something very big here.

    Votes do not mean anything!!!!! If your trusting the government to count your vote, you probably will trust them with your lives.
    You have no choice who get’s elected or who fails…
    All votes are counted with a trash can / paper shredder.

    The government uses millions of tax dollars to buy thier way to a seat. It’s all about the money so unless you have billions your “vote” is useless.

    • Average Joe says:

      Raggs, Absolutely correct! For anyone who still thinks their vote counts, you might try watching the HBO award winning documentary “Hacking Demacracy”. Even after proving how easy it is to hack into the system and alter votes here in Florida after the 2000 debacle…we in Florida are still using computer voting…which is still un-verifiable.The only way to make sure your vote is counted is to have all voting on paper ballots,place in a box in full public veiw at all times and counted 3 times (in full public view), once by a Dem. once by a Repub. and once by a Independent to asure that there is no fraud in the vote count. Nothing else will ever insure that our vote actually counts.

      • Beberoni says:

        Dude, democrats cant count. Everytime they give us a figure on the cost of something, its always another 40 to 50 percent higher than what they said, so I dont think they can count.

        • Average Joe says:

  30. Marty says:

    I don’t understand why they cannot be stopped. There has GOT to be provisions in our Constitution
    to stop renegade lawmakers when they consistently go against the will of the people….isn’t there?
    Is it because the few that perhaps have the integrity to start the process feel they will have no one to
    back them up once the heat begins to build? Look at Judge Roy Moore when he took his stand in Ala.
    I’m sure he felt that he would have a huge backing from his fellow Christian compatriots, but in the
    end, he was left to face the consequences of his decision all alone. And what about Joe Wilson, of
    “You Lie” fame? The man cared enough that he was so outraged by the lies he was supposed to sit
    quietly by and listen to that for one moment he completely forgot himself and acted as any American
    would….was he supported by his fellow Republicans? He was not…in a cowardly display of “supposed
    respect”, they few that spoke out denounced him instead of applauding him. I would vote for Joe
    Wilson for President, or for Judge Roy Moore. They put themselves on the line for their beliefs and
    for their personal integrity ….we need lots more of those. Who will stand up and lay their
    careers on the line…who will stand up and be counted? The Reps owe the American people a debt
    they now should pay…if it had not been for their greed and screw-ups, the Democrats would not have
    had the opportunity to get in like they have. SOMEBODY needs to stop talking and DO something……
    and they need to do it now!

  31. Robert says:

    This is so great! Finally we have health reform! All the cry babies are yelling foul! Well let me set the record straight for all you conservative right wingers. First of all, the constitution is being trashed. Second the government is taking over all our lives. Third, all Americans are now subserviant to Washington politicians, their cronies and all the special interests. Any white person making money will be taxed to the hilt and their money distributed to all the lazy good for nothings in this country including illegal aliens. Forget about the 2010 elections, they will be suspended unless you promise in writing to vote for all the democractic incumbents or new democracts running against Republican incumbents. Anyone over 65 is expected to voluntarily die within two years. This is the cost savings expected to save Social Security and Medicare. If you have a gun and are not in law enforcement or the military, turn them over right now or you’ll be arrested and your children will be put in foster care. Anyone who speaks against the President will be arrested and sentenced to 10 years hard labor without a trial. Once a year, all Americans will go on a pilgrimage to San Franscisco and kiss Nancy Pelosi’s ring and wash her feet. The Catholic religion will now be considered a terroristic organization and all assets will be confiscated immediateley. All people of the Jewish faith are to reort to internment camps set us accross the US for re-education and forfeiture of any and all assets. Protestants and Bapists have one year to clean up their act or will join the Jewish people in the internment camps. Those of the Islamic faith are hereby exempt from all taxes and US laws and are free to do anythng they please. Now for you right wing conservatives and mis-informed republicans, what is your problem? I though so, your heads are stuck in the sand and you’re all racists!

  32. Marty says:

    I can’t believe all you conservative idiots think that President Obama is at fault for the mess George Bush got us into……..what did Bush think when petrol went to $4.00 + a gal…….Bush is a coward…..he dodged the Vietnam war but had the balls to send our troops to Iraq which we had no business doing in the first place spending Billions$$$$$$$$$……..why do you think the Democrats got control in the last elections……duh……cause your party screw up the economy and put the nation with needed drastic measures…. so you all should respect the office and the person President Obama…..He is the President…..or is it cause he’s black…..which I find funny that no one ever mentions he’s half white…..so turn on your TV’s and tune into that other idiot Glenn Beck……can’t believe you people are that stupid…..

    I see what conservative means….everyone under us be conservative so everything comes to us….. it’s called greed….your all a bunch of Bernie Madoff’s….

        • Tom says:

          So Marty how long have you been a complete idiot. You will come around one day and that day will be very soon if the Dems. get this health care bill made into law. You need to OPEN YOUR EYES pal because there is so much damage being done to this country BY Obama that you would think that GWB was still in office. You see, if you were to OPEN YOUR EYES that all of these politicians are cut from the same cloth. This health care bill has a 36% favorable rating yet these Democrats believe that the American taxpayer doesn’t know what’s good for them, but these politicians do know what we need so much more. The arrogance of these AS_Holes.

          Community organizer. Thats it. Thats all he’s got. No birth certificate, no college records. Its all a fix. If it wasnt, they would be quick to produce this stuff, but they cant.

    • Raggs says:

      Your a complete MORON!!!!

      Yet another brainwashed liberal communist..

      • DZ says:

        AMEN. When are the blue dogs going to understand that Bush has not been president in almost a year. Quit trying to blame him for the crap that Obama is doing as president.

        • Beberoni says:

          Thats all theyve got is blame. They pointed the finger to get elected, never mentioned a plan or anything, and a year later they are still placing blame, instead of being responsible for the destructive things they are doing. I think they feel they can do whatever they, bring destruction after destruction, and that America will believe them when they point the finger at someone else. Sooner or later, it will catch up to them and bite them in the butt, and I think that time is right about now.

      • Joe H. says:

        Dickie,
        You forget one real important thing about slick willie Clintoon!!! Not only did he run to a foreign country to avoid the war, he protested against this country on foreign soil!!! That’s the next best thing to treason!!!

        • Jana says:

          Joe, and Obama never has served in the military, and he has also gone to foreign countries to bad mouth this country. Shoot, he has done that here in this country.
          We who knew better just sat back and did nothing while the leftists/socialists took over.

    • John says:

      Get over the Bush hater crap and it’s Bush’s fault BS.
      We’re not arguing fault here we’re arguing the direction that this Marxist, anti-Christ President is taking us.

      This is America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, not some third world socialist country.

    • Beberoni says:

      He kept us safe, cleaned up Clintons mess, although we are still paying for Billy’s insurrections with giving China technology, with selling our manufacturing via NAFTA, for cutting our intelligence and military in half. But all in all, Bush did a great job. I miss that guy. This no-doer in there now, hasnt a clue what to do.

    • c lee says:

      And your a fool. No one has said anthing about his color untill you mentioned it. What you and everyone else had better understand is that we are in the fight of our lives and we better wise up. I dont own any slaves no one in my family ownes any slaves no one I know or have known ownes any slaves. The black man has earned his place in society now we all better wise up and come together as one and fight the evil that is taking over our country.I dont feel that Mr. Obama is qualified to be our president not because hes black but because hes not legally qualified per the American born issue as well as his inexspearience. So get off the racial bullshit and act like a man, lets move forward to meet this agression head on before were broke fisically as well as financialy,unarmed by our so called govt. and turned ito musrooms (fed shit and kept in the dark) that is their plan you know.

  33. ImpeachObama says:

    Marty,
    obama isn’t black; he’s RED- a stinking communist. I contributed more money to Alan Keyes’ campaign than I’ve ever sent to anyone else, and he’s black as smut, a REAL black man. So don’t give me that democrat racist bull-shit!

    • DZ says:

      He needs impeaching. He is a Communist through and through along with the rest of his radial buddies.

      • denniso says:

        So impeachobama is angry,wow! Watch out,he might hurt himself. So Steele is a ‘real black man’ and Obama isn’t?? Steele is also an under educated demagogue.

        • DZ says:

          Who cares who is black or white. It is not about race – though blue dogs want to use that to their advantage. It is about his policies.
