Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty...Ronald Reagan



The Washington Times has a picture of Obama calling for bi-patrisan support for his Health Care Bill.
Either Obama is the least informed president we have ever had, or he is a man of deception and you cannot believe anything he says. I suspect it is the latter.
It is a wonder any Democrats, except for the leftist idealogs who would follow Obama to the gates of He**! Despite repeated motions by Republican members of the committee that is voting on the Baucus bill, to publish the text of the bill. The committee and I suspect the whole Senate will be voting on synopsis of the over 1000 page bill that was crafted by four Obama members of a secret group that is kept  secret from all but the group of four , Obama and selected beaurocrats.

This is a bill that was crafted in secret and will be voted on before anyone gets to read the complete bill, as was the case in the almost 800 billion dollar Stimulus package.People who agree to this deception are not upholding their Constitutional obligation as elected officials who supposedly represent those who voted them into their "princely" office!

According to the report just released by the Congressional Budget Office, the bill will cost roughly $829 billion over the next 10 years. And, significantly, it is even projected to reduce the budget deficit over 10 years by $81 billion. Of course, both those numbers are misleading.
as the CBO noted, there's no actual Baucus bill, just some "conceptual language." Actual language, CBO noted, might result in "significant changes" in its estimates. No wonder Democratic congressional leaders killed requirements that the actual language be posted on the Internet for 72 hours before Congress votes.

More significant is the number most publications did not put in their headlines and lead paragraphs: CBO's estimate that the Baucus "conceptual language" would increase federal spending by $829 billion over 10 years. So how do you increase federal spending and cut the deficit at the same time?
One way is taxes. The Baucus conceptual language includes a tax on high-cost insurance plans ($210 billion), penalties for not having insurance ($27 billion) and "indirect offsets" (whatever they are -- $83 billion)!

And if that is not enough to convince you. Consider the fact that under the Democratic bills, federal tax credits to help make health insurance affordable for millions of low- and middle-income households won't start flowing until 2013. After the next presidential election. But Medicare cuts and a sizable chunk of the tax increases to pay for the overhaul kick in immediately.So much for Obama's promise not to raise taxes on the midle class!

The $829 billion cost is for the next 10 years, 2010-2019, but the most expensive provisions of the bill don't take effect until July of 2013. The cost over the bill's first 10 years of actual operation is closer to $1.3 trillion. This a clear attempt by Obama and the Democrats to decieve the public! It must be voted DOWN!

We all know Obama is a great speaker as long as he has a teleprompter, but he is anything but the open and transparent president he promised he would be in his campaign speeches.

A good example of Obam's deceptive nature is the fact that he knew tbe day before he chaired the UN Security Council, that Iran had built anothr uranium enrichment facility. But even though Irans dictator was sitting at the table Obama did not take the opportunity to bring up the subject. No, he proceeded as though nothing was changed in Iran and passed a non-binding resolution relating to nuclear disarmament!
He waited until he was at the G-20 meeting in Pittsburg to reveal what he knew long before his announcement. How can you trust a man who picks and chooses when he will , if ever,reveal important information that the voting public has a right to know in a timely basis.

And the dim ligt bulb from San Francisco that is holding on tightly to the Speakers position in the House, let the cat out of the bag last week, when she said a Value Added tax was on the "drawing board'! A tax that applies to all items bought by all econonomic classes, especially the poor!

Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan

President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

"The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country," Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday's daily fast.

The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called "a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress."

Attendees included Congress' two Muslim members -- Reps. Keith Ellison and Andre Carson as well as ambassadors from Islamic nations and Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren.

And yet when Obama spoke to the graduating class of the Catholic University, Notre Dame, he never mentioned that Catholicism was one of the great religions. Essentially he spoke about secular co-operation.
" Many of you at Notre Dame - by the last count, upwards of 80% -- have lived this law of love through the service you've performed at schools and hospitals; international relief agencies and local charities. That is incredibly impressive, and a powerful testament to this institution. Now you must carry the tradition forward. Make it a way of life. Because when you serve, it doesn't just improve your community, it makes you a part of your community. It breaks down walls. It fosters cooperation. And when that happens - when people set aside their differences to work in common effort toward a common good; when they struggle together, and sacrifice together, and learn from one another - all things are possible".

It appears Obama is more concerned with the message that has been a hallmark of his administration. Doing thing for he "common good" not the freedom to personal success!

And it appears that Obama has forgotten the fact that our Constitution and Bill of Rights were written by Christians. There were no Muslims at the drafting or signing of the Constitution.History documents that there were 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. There were 48 signers of the Articles of Confederation. All 55 delegates who participated in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 are regarded as Founding Fathers, in fact, they are often regarded as the Founding Fathers because it is this group that actually debated, drafted and signed the U.S. Constitution, which is the basis for the country's political and legal system. The majority of the signers were Episcopalian and all were Christian!

Sharia law of the Koran does not allow democracy or the republican form of government even if strict Christian principles are not taken into account.
Although the Koran’s attitude toward Christians in certain early passages of the Koran was to respect Christians and their Book, those passages were abrogated or superceded by later passages which called for Christians and Jews to be subjugated or killed. Under Sharia law (religious law applied to everyday life as specified in the Koran) Christians may not practice their religion!

If you doubt me, just digest these quotes from the Koran:
[3.151] We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.

[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

[5.33] The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement,

[8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

[8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.

[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

What was the reason for Obama's salute to a religion that is based on a book that denies the rights and freedoms that the Country he leads as president is based upon?

While Secretary of State Hillary was telling an audience in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that government should own business, the president was spreading his disinformation to a partisan crowd in New Hampshire.

His pack of disinformation is too long for this blog, so I will include just the fist two falsehoods that the president spun for not only the crowd in the school but a National Television audience. After all, that is the purpose of these type meetings. Not to convince an adoring audience of Democrats , but to get more propaganda out to the nation watching the "show" on TV!!

“I have not said that I was a single-payer supporter.” This is directly contradicted by candidate Barack Obama’s own website which quotes Obama at a rally in Ames, Iowa form 2008: “If I were designing a system from scratch I would probably set up a single-payer system. … So what I believe is we should set up a series of choices….Over time it may be that we end up transitioning to such a system.” So there you have in one paragraph the true purpose of Obama’s public option: a vehicle to slowly transition all Americans out of private coverage and into a government-run single payer health care system. This Trojan Horse view of the public option has been reaffirmed by Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein, and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.

“Under the reform we’re proposing, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.” This statement is also plainly false. Again, as demonstrated above, the true purpose of Obama’s public option is to move Americans out of their private coverage and into government run health care. Independent, non-partisan analysis from the Lewin Group has confirmed the House bill, H.R. 3200, will do exactly that: About 88.1 million workers would see their current private, employer-sponsored health plan go away and would be shifted to the public plan.

And because I am a senior citizen chronologically, I have to include this: "“We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors.” This is just plain false. The AARP released a statement late yesterday directly contradicting the President: “While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate.”

“I just want to be clear, again: Seniors who are listening here, this does not affect your benefits. This is not money going to you to pay for your benefits; this is money that is subsidizing folks who don’t need it.” Under the current system, more and more seniors are discovering that it is becoming harder and harder to find and keep doctors who will accept Medicare patients.

A 2008 survey found that 29% of the Medicare beneficiaries it surveyed who were looking for a primary care doctor had a problem finding one to treat them. Obamacare will only make this problem worse by cutting $313 billion in Medicare reimbursements to health care providers over the next 10 years. This will only force more doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients. Obama also mentioned yesterday that he wants to pay for subsidized health care by killing the Medicare Advantage program. Medicare Advantage plans cover all of the traditional Medicare benefits and much more, including coor?dinated care and care-management programs for enrollees with chronic conditions as well as additional hospitalization and skilled nursing facility stays. 22% of all Medicare patients, which translates to 10.5 million seniors, are currently enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans.

Apparently Obama does not know how to sell his health Care dismantling plan, so he must resort to the one thing he is good at "spin"! Some would call it lying!!
But the fact remains that the four facts that are listed above are just some of the falsehoods and misinformation peddled by President Obama yesterday. It doesn’t even include his choice to sell Obamacare as The “Post Office” of Health Care Plans. No wonder so many Americans are skeptical.

According to a new Gallup poll, 66% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they would tell their member of Congress to vote against Obamacare, while only 59% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents would do the same.

One of president Obama's favorite phrases is, "you are put on notice" or variations on that type of order. Perhaps it is true what one political sage has said about Obama.
"What Obama's radicalism tells us is that he is not a man who is moved by rational discourse. He is not a man who is willing to be convinced that he is mistaken." --Center for Security Policy Senior Middle East Fellow Caroline Glick

It is not the duty or the prerogative of an elected official of the Federal government, even the president, to give orders to the people who elected him!
He has the constitutional right to give orders to the military commanders as their Commander in Chief, but there is nothing in the Constitution that gives him the right to order the populace to do anything except in a time of declared war. Then he can declare martial law that essentially dictates what his electorate can or cannot due.

This country fought a long and costly war to throw off the dictates and abuses of England's King George.Problems began when England passed the Writs of Assistance, which gave British officials the right to seize illegal goods, and to examine any building or ship without proof of cause. This was a powerful weapon against smuggling, but most importantly to the Colonists; it allowed the invasion of their privacy. This was crossing the line and violating the rights of an English man. During the Seven Years War, the British sent over ten thousand troops to America to deal with property problems at the "frontier". This cost a large amount of money, and Britain did not want to see the sum come out of its own pocket. To pay for some of the expense, Britain began to pass acts to tax the colonists and lighten the severe debt the empire was facing.

If this sounds familiar it is. What has happened since Obama took office is that he has run the national debt to an estimated 1.3 trillion dollars. The largest national debt in our history, and to add fuel to the conflagration that Obama and his henchman have created. He tells us Americans, 49% of us did not vote for him, that like it or not he will have National health Care. As he says "you are put on notice that we will have National Health Care"!

In 1765 the British passed a stamp act that required the colonies(America to be)to use specially stamped British paper to print all legal documents and even playing cards. This was because the previously passed Sugar Tax had failed to raise enough money to pay for the troops stationed in the colonies.

The Colonists were angered because they believed that the British Parliament did not care about or understand them and therefore did not have the American people's best interest at heart. The acts imposed by England to try to control and monitor America only succeeded in furthering its Independence. The Colonists were left with two options as a result of the Stamp Act, neither of which were very appealing; either confront parliament, and risk a fight with the much larger and more powerful mother land of England, or succumb to the act without complaining and possibly give up the right to self govern for good.

We Americans are facing legislation in the three hallmarks of Obama's march to socialism. Cap and Trade, Obama Health Care and his economic stimulus that has been estimated at between $700bn and $1 trillion.
If this is not a call to a peaceful revolution against a tyrannical government that appears to not care what type of legacy they leave for coming generations. Nor do they think of the burden that all this debt will cause to the taxpayers who trusted them enough to send them to Washington!

The royalty in Washington, who will never have to face the hardship that their "Spendulus" will bring to the American tax payers, who trusted them to look out for their(voters) interests, have put our interests behind the fear of offending their "messiah"!
Obama is no King, no Emperor and no Messiah except to those who want to see America brought to it's knees and the free enterprise system destroyed. And they will get their wish if voters do not revolt at the polls in November 2010 and throw the "betrayers" out!
