WE MUST WAKE UP TO THE RADICAL MUSLIM INVASION

 





While both Democrats and Republicans appear to be aware of International terrorism in the World, to varying degrees. There is no mention on the political "stump" or in the Main Stream Press of the growing threat posed by radical Muslims inside the United States.

CAIR and the liberal left have been vigilant in seeing that no negative news is published or seen on the TV about the growing internal threat of the Muslim followers in America.

European Countries such as England and Holland are already confronted with the threat to impose Sharia law into their established legal system, because of the mass migration of Muslims into their Country. This excerpt from the Militant Islam Monitor: "There is the additional problem of the growing impact militant Islam is making on Europe. This does not refer to most ordinary Muslim voters(what is an ordinary Muslim?) but to a minority of very vocal militants who have an agenda of their own. There is some similarity between today's militant Muslims and the Nazis who came into power more than seventy years ago. Both are inspired by the same kind of anti-Semitism, they adore obscure conspiring theories like ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' describing secret plans for the creation of a world government controlled by Jews. Islam is by no means the same as National Socialism, yet the growing number of extremist Muslims nowadays may pose a threat to us, especially if they receive the backing of a State. This applies to many militant or extremist Muslims".

There is a growing radicalism among Muslim communities. According to the ICM poll, ‘twenty percent of the British Muslims feel sympathy with the July 7 bombers' feelings and motives, seventy five percent, however, do not. One percent feels the attacks were ‘right.'

There are moderate Muslim rulers like King Mohamed VI of Morocco, King Abdullah of Jordan and Sultan Qaboos of Oman who have a pro-Western orientation. They are responsible for the introduction of important political and social reforms. Militant and extremist Muslims demand that these reforms be replaced by the traditional and radical ‘Sharia' law.

For men, radical Islam means a ban on listening to music, watching movies, television or videos. There would be a ban on celebrating any non-Muslim holiday. All people with non-Islamic names would be required to adopt an Islamic name. All men and boys would be required to have traditional haircuts and when able, they must grow beards. Prayers at mosques must be attended five times daily. They are banned from having birds and dogs. No kite flying is allowed. Anyone found with objectionable literature can be executed. No hand clapping is allowed at sporting events. The use of the Internet is banned accept by government permission. Non-Muslims must where distinctive identifying badges. Reminds me of what Hitler did to the Jews!

For women, all of the above apply, except for beards. In addition women are banned from working outside the home, except for selected female doctors. Women cannot leave the home unless accompanied by a male relative or husband. They cannot drive a car or deal with shopkeepers. Male doctors cannot treat them. Women must where undecorated clothing that covers them from head to foot.

A woman can be whipped if her ankles show in public. She is banned from shaking hands, laughing loudly, wearing high heeled shoes, playing sports, speaking on radio or TV, riding a bicycle or motorcycle and must not wear perfume. The woman’s clothing cannot resemble a man’s clothes. Their shoes cannot make a sound when they walk. They cannot talk to men other than family and when they do talk it must be in a very low voice. They must not look at strangers. CAIR will quickly tell you that this is the extremist interpretation of Sharia law, but I have seen no print news or TV item that declares this is wrong by any "moderate" Muslim.

 

Undercover counter terrorism agents, who speak Arabic and understand the culture, have conducted reconnaissance at some 2,300 mosques and centers in every state of the U.S.. Also a recent Freedom House study concluded that “the vast majority are inciting insurrection and jihad through sermons by Saudi-trained imams and anti-Western literature, videos and textbooks.”

However, when members of the media, or political candidates bring up the subject of this growing threat, they are branded as practicing racial profiling, anti-Muslim or unpatriotic. Government officials keep telling everyone that the Muslim world is friendly, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. The majority in Congress force the nation into Arab oil servitude, by refusing to allow serious drilling in our own country and spending more time trying to make the enemy out of “Big Oil”, instead of Middle Eastern threats. This while Communist China is making deals to import more crude oil by the day!

All of this will continue to unfold, from the American advancement of Islam to the flow of more Middle Eastern money to advance terrorism...and all because Americans spend their time being angry at our own politicians and have little or no concern about an every increasing threat being imported from abroad.

All Americans should pay more attention to what is happening in Europe, as it can happen here, and will if we don't change our attitude toward this internal threat.

Muslim extremists suspected of links to terrorism have been on trial in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy. In all these trials there was a common pattern of denials or lame excuses by most terrorist suspects. They usually claim it is not they who are on trial but their Islamic beliefs. It is simply a question of religious freedom. source: Emerson Vermaat ,Front Page Magazine.

In 1960 we had 20 mosques in the United States. By 1994 that number had grown to 962 and in 2000 there were 1,209. Today an estimated 2,300 mosques, plus storefronts, meeting rooms and student centers are spread across the country. These mosques and centers are used as a form of political and social mobilization, under the cloak of religion.

More than 90% of Muslim leaders say they should be involved in the political process and it should be noted they are increasingly assuming positions within the public arena.
For some strange reason, when viewing the growth of Islam in the United States, Americans are about as complacent as they are relative to most political activities.

Though reported on in 2002 that: “Every time you fill up your tank you may be helping to finance an Islamic mosque in America” and that “Some of the largest mosques and Islamic Centers in America are funded by the royal government of Saudi Arabia, which gets most of its revenue from oil exports”, we have still continued to ignore the fact that we are facing a serious problem.

Our government keeps telling us that Saudi Arabia is our friend. This flies in the face of undisputed facts including that 15 of the 19 hijackers who crashed aircraft into New York and Washington DC were Saudi citizens. It also ignores the fact that the Saudi government continues to finance the advancement of “Wahhabism”, one of the most violent and fundamentalist strains of Islam and that most Saudi citizens adhere to this anti-American sect.

In the past 33 years the Saudi government has poured more than $87 billion into expanding the Muslim faith in America. There are an estimated 6 million Muslims in the United States today and many of them were converts from Christianity or had no prior religious preference. It is estimated that up to 90% of the converts are African-American.

While 64% of Saudis have an unfavorable view of the United States, 57% of the black Muslims in America look upon this country as an immoral society, including Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama's recently retired pastor!

A full 70% of our “American” black Muslims believe the United States brought about the attacks of 9/11.Source:The New Media Journal

IT IS TIME TO MAKE A PLEA TO THE YOUNG VOTERS AGAIN

A PLEA TO YOUNG VOTERS IN THE 2010 ELECTION

The Obama Health Care bill that was just past will not increase the quality of medical care. All it does is increase tens of millions of more people into a system that is already short of nurses and a dwindling number of Physicians who are reaching retirement age or have decide they do not want some government employee telling them how to practice and are planning to leave medical practice.

What this and every other scheme Obama and his sycophants plan for US is add thousands of government workers to the federal payroll and further bloat the retirement load that taxpayers like you will have to pay in twenty or thirty years

The following is an excerpt from an article published in the London Telegraph by a doctor who has experienced the National Health Service in Great Britain for the past 30 years.

He notes that the nurse population is being cut by thousands to reduce the monies paid out by NHS to pay for the salaries and retirement of the 1,5 million government workers that “administer”the NHS. This plus the fact that the NHS has reduced the hours from 30,000 to 6000 for the training of specialty doctors has led to a cadre of  limited educated physicians who do not know anything but the particular specialty that they studied. This has resulted in more consultations with other specialists and a log jam in the referral process. His conclusions are worth any one who is a “young” voter, as it will happen in this country within 20-30 years if this Obama machine is not stopped!

Young voters have a vital role in determining policy at this election. Whereas older voters, employed or often not, will vote for a “free” health service and continuing pensions, the demographic reality is that none of this money is stacked up in a bank account. It will only come from increased taxation on the declining percentage of working, i.e. economically active, people and will directly impinge on education costs and therefore education standards in the next 25 years.

Politicians cannot continue to be economical with the truth. We treat all-comers, from malnourished infants of economic migrants to octogenarians seeking care at the end of a long hard life. We do our best, and we need a rapid clear-out of the non-essential bureaucracy which is slowing patient care and diverting funds needed for the care and cure of sick citizen".

ON OUR WAY TO BECOME A HAS BEEN NATION

 

The Obama administration is using the disaster in the Gulf as an excuse to bow to his eco-freak supporters and reverse his “decision” to allow off shore drilling in the Atlantic ocean for crude oil.

The latest estimate of 5,000 gallons of crude oil being leaked into the Gulf waters is truly a disaster of unknown proportions, but it is no excuse to allow the Chinese Communists and the Brazilians to fatten their oil reserves in the gulf at our expense.

Whether we like it or not. It is a fact the millions of trucks travel the highways daily to deliver the foods and supplies we rely on to live our lives, and tanks and fighter jets cannot run on batteries or wind power if they are to be effective in battle against our enemies. And there are many reasons why the Obama administration is wrong to turn to green jobs and ignore the oil we have off the shores of both oceans and the gulf not to mention the millions of barrels that are lying under the surface of the lands in the form of oil-sands located in the western states of our Nation.

While we a trying to build an oil free energy grid for America, which I personally think is a pipe dream unless we start building nuclear power plants as they have in European countries like France. The Chinese and the Brazilians are drilling today offshore of Cuba to extract crude oil from the same Gulf of Mexico, and I do not think they give a damn about oil spills!

China is rapidly becoming a super power that is not only drilling in the Gulf, but also in many African countries where they have made deals with the money they generated while they were becoming the largest source of Americans products that are made over seas that once were made in America.

At the same time that China is drilling for oil in the Gulf. The China Petrochemical (aka SINOPEC) has made a 4.65 billion dollar deal with ConocoPhillips for a large stake in the oil-sands producer Syncrude Canada.

China is the fastest growing economy in the world. and they are not hamstrung by America’s new religion,the Ecology Movement. China is on a Global quest for resources to power their economy.While we here in America are letting Obama and his merry band of communists and socialists lead us down the path to economic ruin!

China plowed 32 billion dollars into mining and energy acquisitions last year. Most of the investment was made by PetroChina! We invest in windmills and act like Don Quixote in a fight against those who should be our mortal enemies China and Russia who are energy free of OPEC!

A PLEA TO YOUNG VOTERS IN THE 2010 ELECTION

I would ask the young people of America what makes them believe that Obama’s “hope and change” will benefit them?

The Obama Health Care bill that was just past will not increase the quality of medical care. All it does is increase tens of millions of more people into a system that is already short of nurses and a dwindling number of Physicians who are reaching retirement age or have decide they do not want some government employee telling them how to practice and are planning to leave medical practice.

ANOTHER TAKE ON THE “TOO BIG TO FAIL” CONCEPT OF OBAMA

The latest ploy that the Obama stooges in congress has come up with is to pass the so-called financial reform bill. This legislation crafted by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Fannie Mae) and Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Countrywide) that would ramp up regulations of financial firms in an effort — so Democrats claim — to avoid a recurrence of the collapse and ensuing bailouts of 2008. The bill is scheduled for a first test vote Monday.

As The Wall Street Journal reports, “The legislation would grant the federal government the power to seize teetering financial giants and dismantle them the same way the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation now can seize failing banks. It would create a new financial consumer regulator, would boost the strength and budget of the Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] and would impose new transparency rules on the trading of derivatives, the complex financial instruments that helped bankrupt Lehman Brothers and nearly wipe out American International Group and Merrill Lynch.”

The only problem in my mind is that “too big to fail” is a buzz word to mean we cannot let these large financial institutions that were previously called bank to fail or else the campaign financing money that the big houses on Wall Street have contributed to lect Obama in the 2008 presidential election. Unknown to me is the amount their Lobbyists gave to the election campaigns of the congressmen and senators who crafted this horrendous bill!

To refresh all who bother to read this posting I want to remind you that these institutions theat are deemed to big to fail gave the following amounts to Obama’s campaign: 

Obama took $994,795 from Goldman for his 2008 campaign, as well as $701,290 from Citigroup, $695,132 from JP Morgan Chase, and $514,881 from Morgan Stanley. (John McCain’s biggest donor among this Big Four was Citigroup, which gave him $322,051.) Obama has numerous other ties with Goldman. Also, while Goldman lawyers negotiated with the SEC, its Chief Executive, Lloyd Blankfein, visited the White House four times. source: Patriot Post

This is ignoring the important fact that this Bill that Obama is pushing makes two categories of banks. The large ones whom the government will back what ever they decide to invest in, even if it looses millions. But the small banks, the heart of small town banking is put in a category that will allow them to fail. I wonder how much money these Banks donate to the democrats and Obama? Probably very little!

As the lead article of the Patriot Post says: “this financial “reform” bill is like every other big government power grab in the last two years. The goal is to further the Left’s agenda, and to reward Democrat constituents, who, these days, include the very Wall Street “fat cats” that Obama has been cynically denouncing. Besides, the root of all these problems was, and is, government itself, starting with the subprime mortgage mess, and the subsequent collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Why are they not covered by this so-called reform?”

That is a question that needs to be asked and answered!

WILL THIS HAPPEN IN THE USA TO CANCER PATIENTS?

Now that we have Obamacare as the law of the land it is appropriate to look at what has happened in England where government controled health care has been in force for decades.

Despite growing the bureaucracy that runs it the numbers of doctors and nurses has decreased over the years. This has resulted in waiting times for appointments to see physicians and dentists, and even longer waiting periods for surgical procedures–even years for some surgeries.

But now a problem has been revealed with the medicines available to cancer patients from the National Health Service. 

Many cancer medicines which are widely available in Europe, such as the bowel cancer drug, Bevacizumab, and the kidney cancer drug, Sorafenib, are not available in the United Kingdom.

France gives out on average 1,600 mg of Bevacizumab per bowel cancer case, compared to virtually none in the UK.

Some of the more expensive drugs which have been approved by NICE are used less than in other countries, the figures show.

Patients are 20 per cent more likely to be given the breast cancer drug Herceptin on average in Europe than in the UK; 50 per cent more likely if they live in France or Spain.

Andrew Lansley, the shadow health secretary, said: “It is unforgivable that thousands of cancer sufferers in England die each year because they are not given the drugs that they need when we spend over a hundred billion pounds a year on the NHS.

“Gordon Brown has doubled the amount we spend on the NHS but we have not got a good return for our money – so much of it has been spent on waste and bureaucracy.

“There is no reason why we should not be able to get cancer drugs in England that are readily available in the rest of Europe.”

Figures released by NICE show that 15 cancer drugs have been assessed since Mr Johnson’s promise of November 2008, of which four have been turned down and 11 only partially approved.

They include Hycamtin (topotecan), for lung and cervical cancer, Mabthera (rituximab) for chronic lymphocytes leukaemia and Sutent (sunitinib) for stomach tumours.

Sir Andrew Dillon, chief executive of Nice, insisted however that partial recommendations were the best way to deal with new drugs, because it allowed them to be limited to certain patients who would most benefit from their use. Note this is a bureaucrat not a doctor deciding who gets the potential life saving drugs!!!

He added: “We recommend the use of most (85 per cent) of the new drugs we look at.( I guess he lets the other 255 DIE BECAUSE HE THINKS THEY WOULD BE A WASTE OF MONEY!!)

“Not all patients with a particular condition benefit from a drug and some drugs only work really well for some patients or at a particular stage in a disease.

“It is wrong to recommend the use of treatments where the additional benefit is uncertain.( THIS IS A NON-DOCTOR TALKING!!)

NOW THAT HEALTH CARE WAS PASSED, SEE WHAT LIES AHEAD!

President B.H. Obama has thrown down the gauntlet to the “special interests” as he calls the insurance companies, and today asked Congress to ignore their pleas and I guess money that they use to get their way. So he NOW HAS his socialized medicine.

He reminded all that he campaigned on the promise to deliver medical care for all. and WAS bound and very determined to get his way. He found a willing Democrat controlled Congress to give him his socialized medicine despite the fact that in doing so he hasl destroyed the best medical system in the World.

If you doubt me, spend and hour in the waiting room of the Mayo clinic and listen to all the foreign languages spoken. People from every where come to the USA for medical care, but they won’t now that he has done to medicine what the government has done to the Postal Service and the IRS!

There are not many people I know who have experienced socialized medicine in a life threatening situation. I am one who has! So I have republished a blog I posted in 2006 that explain the horrors of “free” medical care.I put free in quotes, because even now that socialized medicine is passed it will not be free. You taxpayers will pay for the “crap”" that is passed off as medicine for all! And the defit will continue to rise by the day!

NOT ONLY DOES THE U.S. CONSTITUTION NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HEALTH CARE RIGHTS, BUT THIS INITIATIVE IS NOTHING MORE THAN BLATANT SOCIALISM WHICH WILL ROB FROM THE “HAVES” TO PAY FOR THE “HAVE NOTS”.
THIS IS NOTHING MORE OR LESS BUT WHAT THE GREAT SENATOR FROM NEW YORK, HILLARY CLINTON, TRIED TO DO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS THE FIRST YEAR HER HUSBAND WAS PRESIDENT.

I USUALLY DON’T WRITE ABOUT MYSELF IN THESE FLEDGLING ATTEMPTS TO BE A BLOGGER. BUT THIS SUBJECT IS SOMETHING I CAN WRITE ABOUT FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. A YEAR AGO THIS PAST MAY MY WIFE AND MY YOUNGEST SON WERE IN ROME FOR OUR 32 ND ANNIVERSARY WHEN I AWOKE IN A HOTEL ROOM AROUND 5AM WITH THE DREADED ELEPHANT SITTING ON MY CHEST! YES, IT WAS A HEART ATTACK! I WAS SCARED AS HELL!
XXX
IN ITALY THEY HAVE TOTAL SOCIALIZED MEDICINE—EVEN FOR VISITORS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES. KIND OF LIKE OUR MEDICAID PROGRAM FOR ILLEGAL MEXICANS. I DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL I CHECKED OUT OF THE HOSPITAL 4 DAYS LATER TO FLY HOME FOR DEFINITIVE TREATMENT OF MY HEART. BUT AT ANY RATE AN AMBULANCE FINALLY CAME TO OUR HOTEL AROUND 7:30 AND TOOK ME TO A LARGE HOSPITAL NEAR THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. THE RIDE ITSELF WAS AN EXPERIENCE. SIRENS BLARING AND WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC I WAS LUCKY I WAS STRAPPED IN. WHEN I GOT TO SAN JACQUIMO HOSPITAL I WAS ROLLED INTO A HALLWAY WHERE I WAITED FOR 50 MIN. OR SO, WHEN A NURSE WHO COULDN’T SPEAK ENGLISH TRIED TO GET MY HISTORY,ETC. FROM A MAN WHO SPEAKS SPANISH FAIRLY WELL BUT KNEW ONLY A FEW WORDS OF ITALIAN. AFTER SOME TIME THEY GAVE ME A SHOT THAT RELIEVED MY PAIN,DREW BLOOD AND ROLLED ME BACK OUT INTO THE HALLWAY WITH DOZENS OF OTHER PATIENTS. FINALLY A DOCTOR CAME TO TELL ME IN FAIRLY GOOD ENGLISH THAT, YES, I HAD A HEART ATTACK. HE TOLD ME THE CARDIAC CARE WARD WAS FULL, BUT HE WOULD TRY AND GET ME A BED IN THE SURGICAL WARD.THE CARDIAC WARD HAS FOUR BEDS!
XXX
SOME HOURS LATER I WAS TRANSPORTED TO A ROOM THAT HAD TO BE UNLOCKED BEFORE THEY COULD ROLL ME IN, AND WAS LOCKED AS SOON AS I ENTERED. HAVING OVER 30 YEARS AS AN ORAL SURGEON ON THE STAFFS OF TWO HOSPITALS I WAS SUDDENLY TRANSPORTED INTO THIRD WORLD MEDICINE! INSIDE THE ROOM WERE FOUR BEDS THREE OF WHICH WERE OCCUPIED BY MAJOR SURGERY POST OPERATIVE PATIENTS. ONE LADY HAD A MASTECTOMY, ONE MAN HAD A THROAT OPERATION, AND THE THIRD WAS A LADY WHO HAD SOME TYPE OF ABDOMINAL SURGERY. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A HEALING, OPEN WOUND.
XXX
THE FIRST THING I NOTICED BEFORE THEY RAMMED A TOO LARGE CATHETER WITHOUT LUBRICATION UP MY URETHRA ,THAT MADE ME BLEED FOR TWO DAYS, WAS THAT THERE WAS JUST ONE WINDOW IN THE ROOM AND IT WAS WIDE OPEN WITH NO SCREEN ON IT! THIS WAS A ROOM FOR SURGERY PATIENTS HOPING TO RECOVER AND THE FLYS WERE MERRILY FLYING IN AND OUT OF THE WINDOW.
XXX
AFTER THE IVs WERE INSERTED I WAS AWARE THAT ALL THE DRESSINGS REMOVED FROM THE SURGERY PATIENTS WERE BEING PLACED IN AN OPEN BOX LINED WITH A PLASTIC BAG ABOUT 4 FEET FROM MY BED NEXT TO THE LOCKED DOOR. THE IV THAT WAS PUT IN HAD PUNCTURED MY VEIN WALL, AND ABOUT AN HOUR LATER MY RIGHT FOREARM WAS SWOLLEN AND HURT LIKE BLAZES. SINCE NO ONE IN THE ROOM COULD UNDERSTAND A WORD OF ENGLISH. I YELLED THE UNIVERSAL DISTRESS, “HELP” AS LOUD AS I COULD. IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO “JUST GEORGE”, AS THEY LEARNED TO CALL ME, WAS ABOUT TO BECOME A PIN CUSHION FOR TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE I THOUGHT WERE NURSES. I MIGHT HAVE SAID NOTHING EVEN THOUGH I KNEW IT WASN’T INSERTED CORRECTLY. IF I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO JAB ME SO MANY TIMES WITH LARGE NEEDLES(nine times unsuccessfully). FINALLY AFTER RIPPING UP MY VEINS IN BOTH FOREARMS THEY CALLED A FEMALE DOCTOR TO HELP. SHE SPOKE ENGLISH AND HAD THE IV IN MY HAND ON THE FIRST TRY. NICE LADY, BUT I NEVER SAW HER AGAIN.
XXX
SINCE THERE WAS NO IV INSERTED FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS THEY STARTED TO STICK ME IN THE BELLY WITH INJECTABLE HEPARIN . I VAGUELY REMEMBER 8 OR TEN JABS IN THE BELLY WHICH MADE MY STOMACH LOOK LIKE I WENT TEN ROUNDS WITH “JOE LOW BLOW” BOXER! AT DINNER TIME I LEARNED THAT THE HOSPITAL PROVIDED NEITHER FOOD NOR WATER, NOR TOILET PRODUCTS SUCH AS SOAP AND TOOTHBRUSH. THEY EXPECTED THE RELATIVES OF THE PATIENTS TO BRING IN THE FOOD,ETC. THE ONLY THING THEY PROVIDED THREE TIMES A DAY WAS A GRUEL LIKE WATERED DOWN SOUP AND 3 “ZWIEBACK” TYPE CRACKERS. I LOST 12 POUND IN FOUR DAYS!
XXX
FINALLY ON THE MORNING OF THE THIRD DAY I WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE CARDIAC CARE UNIT. IT WAS LIKE GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY! THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THEY ONLY HAD FOUR BEDS! IN THIS LARGE VERY STERILE LOOKING ROOM WITH THE NURSES STATION BEHIND A DOOR AND LARGE WINDOWS WITH NO CALL BUTTON AT ANY BED. YOU WERE ON YOUR OWN.
XXX
THE REAL CLOSE CALL CAME LATER THAT DAY. I HAD BEEN PUT ON AN IV DRIP OF NITROGLYCERIN AND AN IV WITH SOME NARCOTIC FOR PAIN. THERE WAS A VERY NICE CARDIOLOGIST WHO COULD SPEAK ENGLISH WELL ENOUGH FOR ME TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM, BUT HE ONLY CAME IN ONCE A DAY. THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED WHEN I TOLD HIM I WAS STILL HAVING SOME CHEST PAIN. HE ORDERED A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE NARCOTIC AND NITROGLYCERIN DRIP. THE DRUGS MADE MY SLEEPY AND I DRIFTED OFF TO SLEEP FOR HE FIRST TIME IN THREE DAYS. I WAS TOO SCARED TO FALL ASLEEP IN THE SURGERY ROOM AS THE STAFF SPENT MOST OF THEIR TIME DAY AND NIGHT BEHIND A CLOSED DOOR JUST OUTSIDE THE WARD. AT NIGHT THE “HANK-PANKY GOING ON COULD WAKE THE DEAD!
XXX
WHILE I WAS SLEEPING, THE SHIFTS CHANGED, AND APPARENTLY THE “NURSE” WHO HAD INCREASED MY IV DRIP HAD NOT MADE A NOTE IN MY CHART. SO WHEN THE NEW CREW CAME IN THEY INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF NARCOTIC AN NITRO DRIP. A SHORT TIME LATER WHEN I AWOKE LUCKILY, I BEGAN TO GO BLIND. EVERYTHING GREW BLACK, AND I THOUGHT I WAS DYING! APPARENTLY MY BLOOD PRESSURE DROPPED TO 50/30 AND ALL I COULD DO WAS WAVE MY HANDS AND TRY TO YELL HELP. LUCKY FOR ME A NEW NIGHT DOCTOR WAS IN THE NURSES STATION AND SAW ME WAVING FRANTICALLY. HE CAME AND AFTER CHECKING MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAD THE NURSING STAFF RAISE THE FOOT OF MY BED SO HIGH I SLIPPED UP TO THE BEDSTEAD, BUT IT SAVED MY LIFE ALONG WITH THE IV INJECTIONS OF MEDS. HE GAVE ME TO RAISE MY BLOOD PRESSURE. THAT WAS AS CLOSE AS I HAD EVER COME TO HAVING A STROKE.
XXX
ON THE FOuRTH DAY MY WIFE, MY SON AND I DECIDED THIS HOSPITAL WAS DANGEROUS TO MY HEALTH AND MADE UP OUR MINDS TO FLY BACK TO THE U.S. I TOLD THE DOCTOR WHO SPOKE ENGLISH THAT I WANTED TO GO HOME BUT HE INSISTED I MUST STAY AND HAVE A HEART CATHETERIZING IN THE MORNING. I ASKED HIM IF I WAS IN A PRISON OR COULD I SIGN MYSELF OUT AGAINST HIS ADVICE. AFTER A LENGTHY TALK WITH HIS SUPERIORS HE BROUGHT ME THE RELEASE PAPERS TO SIGN. FOR ALL I KNOW THEY COULD BE A DEATH WARRANT OR DEED TO MY HOUSE AS THEY WERE IN ITALIAN. I SIGNED THE PAPERS AND TOOK A CAB TO THE HOTEL. THE NEXT DAY WE FLEW HOME IN A 747 WITH NITRO PATCHES CHANGED EVERY FOUR HOURS AND ROOM ENOUGH FOR ME TO LAY DOWN AND SLEEP MOST OF THE 10 HOUR FLIGHT. THUS ENDED MY EXPERIENCE WITH TOTALLY SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. SOME PEOPLE RAVE ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES IN COUNTRIES WITH SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET THE NIGHTMARE THAT WAS MINE ALL FOR FREE. IT DID NOT COST A CENT! Caps are for emphasis not shouting!!

Now The Shoe Is On The Other Foot

 

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is warning that some of his Democratic colleagues are being threatened with violence when they go back to their districts — and he wants Republicans to stand up and condemn the threats.

And South Carolina Congressman in an attempt to defuse the anger that the public has for what the Democrats did last Sunday to the American people, had this to say about the alleged treats. “The majority whip, said Democrats and Republicans should continue to speak out on these threats. “Silence gives consent,” 
source: Politico.com

Hoyer did not bother tp mention that  over the years Republican members of Congress received their fair share of death threats during volatile times. Newt Gingrich after the 1994 Republican revolution and the late Henry Hyde during the Clinton impeachment in 1998 both received numerous death threats. And just last month, Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) received death threats after his filibuster of unemployment benefits, according to a report in Roll Call. Not to mention the President Reagan shooting in an attempted assassination and the attempted assassination of President Ford in 1975 in Sacramento, Ca. by “squeaky” Frome in 1975, and the attempt to kill him in San Francisco seventeen days later by Sara Jean Moore outside the St. Francis Hotel. Frome never fired her gun ,but Moore got one shot off and wounded a taxi driver near by Ford!

Perhaps Mr. Hoyer should remind their leader-in-chief, to tone down his rhetoric when he gives speeches demonizing the Health Insurance Industry.

Obama has used the “give ‘em somebody to hate” tactic against the insurance industry. Outrageously displaying behavior unbecoming to the office of the presidency, Mr. Obama, with no holds barred, attempted to make the American people hate, and seek political vengeance against, the insurance industry.

After masterfully portraying them as cruel monsters who only care about profits, President Obama basically said, let’s drag those no good S.O.B insurance companies out and stop them by passing government-run health care. And yes, Obama’s ultimate goal is to drive insurance companies out of business. In an earlier speech, Obama admitted it, while warning that it may take ten years or more to get it done!

Michael Walsh has a piece in Big Journalism.com that mirrors my suspicions about Mr. Hoyers statements. After all the politician in Washington are not above lying to advance their agenda, so this quote from Mr. Walsh is appropriate to finish my blog today.

“Naturally, the media accepts this allegation at face value, and never once stops to question whether the Alinsky Party is, you know, exaggerating or even lying — as the spiritual mentor of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton taught them the following:

The end is what you want, the means is how you get it. Whenever we think about social change, the question of means and ends arises. The man of action views the issue of means and ends in pragmatic and strategic terms. He has no other problem; he thinks only of his actual resources and the possibilities of various choices of action. He asks of ends only whether they are achievable and worth the cost; of means, only whether they will work”.Saul Akinsky in “Rules for Radicals”

OBAMA’S MASK HAS BEEN REMOVED

During the general election campaign of 2008, Barack Obama talked a very moderate game — even a conservative game. This was especially true in the debates versus McCain. He sounded like, oh, David Boren, or Sam Nunn. At times, he sounded like Richard Lugar, the Republican, whom he cited favorably. He mocked the idea that he was some wild-eyed radical out to socialize the country.
But on the eve of the election, with his big victory in sight, Obama let his hair down a little. He said, “We are going to fundamentally transform the United States of America.”And with the passage of “obamacare” he and Pelosi and Reid have shown that they are not the “center-left politicians that they portrayed themselves as to the American people in the 2008 election cycle, but are un-holy progressive socialists.

For those of you who dare confused by the term socialist . I offer this as an explanation: socialist’ is one who believes in the redistribution of wealth, more decisions made by the central government! There is no question about it. During my childhood years my relatives thought of the Democrats as the party of the people. What they are today is the party of government.”And to add fuel to the fire that I am trying to build under those who are still asleep to the fact that the majority elected a socialist I remind you of the words Obama had to say to “Joe the plumber”. ““I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

“Queen” Pelosi & Co. kept calling Sunday’s vote and achievement “historic.” They were quite right. This is a milestone on the way to American Europeanization, or de-exceptionalization. If Obama and his socialist henchmen in the Congress of the USA manage to ram the amnesty bill for 12 million illegals through. It will almost assure Obama’s re-election in 2012, and then he can further ensure the demise of our free enterprise system by stacking the supreme court with two more socialist leaning justices!
That will guarantee that any lawsuits against socialist bills that are passed by the left leaning congress will not be accepted for review by the supreme court!

The Democrat party has been co-opted by socialist progressives. They , in my mind are no longer liberals, but socialists whose ideology drives them to radically change America into their vision of European socialism. To quote Dennis Prager in his article in the NRO article today. “Liberalism believed in creating wealth; the Left is interested in redistributing it. Liberalism believed in a strong defense. The Left believes in cutting defense and relying on a strong United Nations.

3. Democrats should be referred to as Social Democrats.

This is not meant to be cute, let alone a slur. But calling Democrats Social Democrats is an effective way of reminding Americans that there is no longer any difference between what is now known as the Democratic party and the Social Democratic parties of Europe. When the Democratic party returns to its roots as a liberal, not left-wing, party, we will happily resume calling the party by its original name. However, since no Democrat can cite a significant difference between the Democratic party and the SD parties, there is no good reason not to use the more accurate nomenclature” I believe it is time (past time) to rename the political parties from Democrat and Republican to Conservatives and Socialists!

For those of you who have been Democrats all your lives I remind you to compare the way Democrats voted in your youth with the way the present majority of Democrats vote today, and you will find that they have forgotten who elected them and are pursuing more power over your lives instead of passing legislation that will open up opportunities for you and your family to prosper. Are you better off in a “cradle to grave” situation than in a situation where the government allows you to keep more of your money and cuts the red tape regulations that inhibit your progress in you chosen field of endeavor?.

IF PELOSI USES THE SLAUGHTER RULE SHE VIOLATES HER OATH OF OFFICE

If  the Speaker of the house who acts like she is Marie Antoinette, Ms.Pelosi, invokes the Slaughter rule to by- pass a vote on the Senate passed Health Care bill, which it appears she may do to avoid a negative result. She will not only be violating her oath of office, that says she will protect and defend the Constitution, but she will be violating two provisions of the Constitution, which will effectively make what the house is trying to do illgal, If this b#st*ard bill reaches the desk of the president, Obama will be duty bound by his oath of office to declaure the bill null and send it back to the House without his signature!

It has been pointed out in several venues in the past few days, Article 1 Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution requires that before a bill becomes law, (1) “Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it”; (2)“… in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively.”

It is those two provisions of the Constitution that would be evaded: (1) The House vote with the names and votes of the individual members publicly published and (2) the president’s signature. That is James Madison’s precise, 18th-century version of transparency and accountability.

The Slaughter rule has no legal precedent for the House to pass a bill without a direct vote by using a budget reconciliation measure as a trigger and a means to pass ObamaCare.  Nancy Pelosi’s potentially unconstitutional strategy to pass unconstitutional ObamaCare is without precedent nor justification.

The Wall Street Journal has a piece today that critiques the Pelosi strategy, the “Slaughter Rule,” that is being considered to pass ObamaCare.

“We’re not sure American schools teach civics any more, but once upon a time they taught that under the U.S. Constitution a bill had to pass both the House and Senate to become law. Until this week, that is, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi is moving to merely “deem” that the House has passed the Senate health-care bill and then send it to President Obama to sign anyway.   Under the “reconciliation” process that began yesterday afternoon, the House is supposed to approve the Senate’s Christmas Eve bill and then use “sidecar” amendments to fix the things it doesn’t like. Those amendments would then go to the Senate under rules that would let Democrats pass them while avoiding the ordinary 60-vote threshold for passing major legislation. This alone is an abuse of traditional Senate process”

The constitututional principle being violated here is known as the “nondelegation doctrine.” By saying two contradictory things at the same time, the House would be delegating its power to the Senate and the White House, allowing the latter to pick which meaning they like best.

Congress could use the same approach to allow a line-item veto, by passing a thousand budgets instead of one, and letting the President pick whichever one he likes best.  And that would also violate the nondelegation doctrine.

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him…

So, if the House votes on two bills at once, the President must approve that vote “before the same shall take effect,” because the vote at least partially requires the Senate’s concurrence.  The President cannot pick and choose which part of the House vote to approve, and the House vote cannot have any effect unless the President approves it.

The framers saw all this coming.  You can read about it here in the Heritage Guide to the Constitution.

IT IS TIME TO STOP TALKING AND VOTE!

We have listened to the Liar in chief try to convince a gullible American public that the government has to take over one  sixth of rhe USA economy to “fix” a health care system that 80% of Americans who have health care coverage, like the system they have. This is the equivalent of the total economy of a country like France or Germany! It is a naked power grab that progressive leftists are attempting to ram down Americans throats despite the fact that a majority of US do not want what the Obama sycophants are pushing!

Obama has spent more time on this power grab then he has to fix the number one problem in the USA, unemployment and a growing National debt! Today once again he is using an anecdotal story to try to tug at peoples heart instead of talking about the facts that this bill is not acceptable to all the Democrats or else they would have passed it months ago. He continually demonizing the Republicans as the party of no, but anyone who watched the Blair House “summit” know this is just another lie that Obama has been spinning for over a year.

The Republicans have offered alternative to the Democrats socialization of a major portion of our economy, but all suggestions have been rejected.

It is time to call for a vote in the House of Representatives, and stop the arm twisting and deals that the Democrats have been doing to convince the Democrats who believe this bill is bad for the past year! I call on the Republicans to call for a vote now, not after the president has given “one last speech” to try to sell his socialization of the best medical care in the world!

CAN THE USA BE FAR BEHIND THE CHAOS IN GREECE?

 

The recession and the ongoing jobless recovery devastated much of the private-sector work force last year, sending unemployment soaring, but government workers emerged essentially unscathed, according to data released Wednesday by the Labor Department.

Meanwhile, the compensation for state and local government employees continued to easily outdistanced the wages and benefits for workers in private business, a separate Labor Department report showed.

Private-industry employers spent an average of $27.42 per hour worked for total employee compensation in December, while total compensation costs for state and local government workers averaged $39.60 per hour.

The average government wage and salary per hour of $26.11 was 35 percent higher than the average wage and salary of $19.41 per hour in the private sector. But the percentage difference in benefits was much higher. Benefits for state and local workers averaged $13.49 per hour, nearly 70 percent higher than the $8 per hour in benefits paid by private businesses.

While the Congress egged on by Obama and his sycophants of the USA spends money that we do not have, and piles up a National debt never before seen in the USA for its magnitude. Across the Ocean in Greece the Unions are rioting because the government that they work for wants to avoid default on their enormous deficit loans to the European Union.

Greece is a Socialist country that employes most of the people who have jobs and the government has run out of money because of the high labor costs and benefits. As a result the people are taking to the streets and rioting over the proposed cuts in wages and benefits.

Street clashes broke out between rioting youths and police in central Athens today as tens of thousands demonstrated during a nationwide strike against the cash-strapped government.

Hundreds of masked and hooded youths punched and kicked motorcycle police, knocking several off their bikes, as police responded with volleys of tear gas and stun grenades.

The violence spread after the end of the march to a nearby square, where police faced off with stone-throwing anarchists and suffocating clouds of tear gas sent patrons scurrying from open-air cafes.

State hospitals were left with emergency staff only and all news broadcasts were suspended as workers walked off the job for 24 hours to protest spending cuts and tax hikes designed to tackle the country’s debt crisis.

Riot police made heavy use of tear gas during the start-and-stop clashes throughout the demonstration, including outside Parliament.

Strikers and protesters banged drums and chanted slogans such as ‘no sacrifice for plutocracy,’ and ‘real jobs, higher pay.’

People draped banners from apartment buildings reading: ‘No more sacrifices, war against war.

The demonstrators included hundreds of black-clad anarchists in crash helmets and ski masks, who repeatedly taunted and attacked riot police with stones and petrol bombs, at one point spraying officers with brown paint.

Fears of a Greek default have undermined the euro for all 16 countries that share it, putting the Greek government under intense European Union pressure to quickly show fiscal improvement.

It has announced a raft of savings through public sector salary cuts, hiring and pension freezes and consumer tax hikes to deal with its ballooning deficit, but the measures have led to a new wave of labor discontent.

The cutbacks, added to a previous austerity plan, seek to reduce the country’s budget deficit from 12.7 percent of annual output to 8.7 percent this year. The long-term target is to bring overspending below the EU ceiling of 3 percent of GDP in 2012.

The new plan sparked a wave of strikes and protests from labour unions whose reaction to the initial austerity measures had been muted.

Ghosts of Nazi Germany raise their Ugly Heads

In the 1930’s Germans were mandated to have an identity card . Some had the identifying mark of Judaism to set them aside from the Arian German.

Now 80 years later when such bastions of freedom as Cambodia,China, Indonesia, Rwanda, Turkey and Bhutan have identity cards, two American Senators are proposing a law to require all American workers to have a biometric identity card.

Senator Schumer and Senator are crafting a law that would require all workers to have this card. They say it will help the illegal alien problem, but I suspect more nefarious reasons behind their proposal!This was instituted in the United Kingdom in 2006 when they began a program of biometric ID cards for its citizens. In 2006 the estimated cost to set-up the card program and run it for ten years was 5.4 billion pounds. That is 8.1 billion dollars in USA green backs give or take a few million!

Schumer and Graham believe this is the way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.

Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.

If this is not an issue that the ACLU and a Human Rights organizations does not jump on with both feet. I will be greatly disappointed. If you thought the Patriot Act was a diminishing of our freedoms(I do not) then this idea should make the hair on your neck stand up!

The only time Americans had to wear identity cards was during World War II when Japanese Americans were interred and had to wear tags that bore their name. An infamous time in our history that should never be allowed to happen again. If they (the Senators) really wanted to stop illegal immigration they would support strengthening  our border patrol agency and deport more illegals.

IT WILL NOT BE LONG AND THIS NEWS WILL BE IN OUR PAPERS

Obama says he wants to fix the health care problem, but what if we get this!

A hospital patient, Kane Gorny, died of dehydration after becoming so desperate for a drink of water that he called police for help.

 By Alastair Jamieson Published: 11:33AM GMT 06 Mar 2010 (London Telegraph.com)

The 22-year-old was not given vital medication after an operation at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, south London, according to his mother. A coroner has such grave concerns about the case that it has been referred to police who are investigating Mr Gorny’s care. 

 Stafford Hospital: Managers spent more than £1 million on redundancies during scandal Hospitals granted foundation status despite a plethora of failings

 Gorny, from Balham, was diagnosed with a brain tumour the year before his death, according to a report in the Daily Mail. Treatment caused his bones to weaken and he was admitted to the hospital for a hip replacement in May 2009. His mother, Rita Cronin, says he needed drugs three times a day to regulate his hormones, but he was not given them by hospital staff. She said he became very dehydrated but his requests for water were refused and nurses called in security guards to restrain him when he became angry.

He became so frustrated that he rang the police from his bed to demand their help but officers were assured Mr Gorny was fine. She said nurses assumed he was just badly behaved. Mr Gorny’s cause of death was determined to be dehydration. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Detectives from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command are investigating the death of Kane Gorny at St George’s Hospital after this was referred to us by Westminster Coroner’s Court.”

And on the 5th of March, 2010 this story was reported in the London Telegraph.

The Oxford Radcliffe Trust has suspended all children’s heart surgery after the death of four children in the last four months.

An investigation has been launched and urgent cases awaiting surgery are being sent elsewhere.

Iis not yet clear if there are any common factors in the cases and all aspects of their care will be investigated.

Experts said it could be ‘just a run of terrible luck’ but that it was right to stop and review procedures.

Cardiac surgery at the trust has been dogged with concerns over mortality rates for years and has a reputation for taking on high risk cases.

Reports going back as far as 2000 criticised the leadership of the consultant cardiothoracic surgeons and their working relationships.

Then in 2004 a study in the British Medical Journal warned that mortality rates in paediatric cardiac surgery were higher than the national average, however a review of the service found the data was inaccurate.

The health regulator was brought in and found no concern in paediatric surgery but found a series of other problems including that surgeons were still not working well together.

The Healthcare Commission found in 2007 that the trust did operate on high risk patients and that the mortality rates among adults having bypass surgery were higher than average although were still within expected limits. Do we want this to happen here in gthe USA? Stop Obama Care NOW!!!

WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR AMERICANS IF OBAMA HAS HIS WAY!

What’s happening in the developed world today isn’t so very hard to understand: The 20th-century Bismarckian welfare state has run out of people to stick it to. In America, the feckless, insatiable boobs in Washington, Sacramento, Albany, and elsewhere are screwing over our kids and grandkids. In Europe, they’ve reached the next stage in social-democratic evolution: There are no kids or grandkids to screw over. The United States has a fertility rate of around 2.1 — or just over two kids per couple. Greece has a fertility rate of about 1.3: Ten grandparents have six kids, AND  have four grandkids — ie, the FAMILY TREE is upside down. demographers call 1.3 “lowest-low” fertility — the point from which no society has ever recovered. And, compared to Spain and Italy, Greece has the least worst fertility rate in Mediterranean Europe.

So you can’t borrow against the future because, in the most basic sense, you don’t have one. Greeks in the public sector retire at 58, which sounds great. But, when ten grandparents have four grandchildren, who pays for you to spend the last third of your adult life loafing around?
But borrowing is not the only culprit in this debacle we face.

President Gerald Ford said:”A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have.” Which is true enough. But there’s an intermediate stage: A government big enough to give you everything you want isn’t big enough to get you to give any of it back!” In other words “You cannot shoot Santa Claus”!

Abortion is the reason why the Americans and European have less children entering into the work force than is necessary to pay the taxes to support the welfare state that Obama, Pelosi, Reid and their minions want to establish in this country.

The Center For Bio-Ethical Reform lists the following statistics. There are approximately 42 Million abortions performed each year world-wide. That equates to  115,000 per day!

In the USA that figure is 1.3 million  as of 1996, or 3700 per day. If  these statistics are correct it means we here in American have reduced the future tax paying pool by at least 18 million in the last 14 years while Americans are entering the Social Security age at a rapid rate.

Not to mention the morality issue of this genocidal practice. That is too me very important! It has reduced the pool of tax payers that Obama and his Leftist followers want to pay for the power grab that he and his “comrades” are trying to ram down our throats! Obama Care and Tax and Trade!

 52% of women obtaining abortions in the U.S. are younger than 25: Women aged 20-24 obtain 32% of all abortions; Teenagers obtain 20% and girls under 15 account for 1.2%.

While white women obtain 60% of all abortions, their abortion rate is well below that of minority women. Black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are roughly 2 times as likely.to have an abortion! 

 The problem is there are never enough of “the rich” to fund the entitlement state, because in the end it disincentivizes everything from wealth creation to self-reliance to the basic survival instinct, as represented by the fertility rate. In Greece, they’ve run out Greeks,and ut will not be long if Obama has his way, that the USA is in the same boat going over the falls of bankruptcy while the dependency class cries for more!
