Van Jones-Another Radical Appointment by Obama Who Couldn't Stand the Truth

Now that Van Jones has resigned, there are other "Czars" who need to do the same. The very existance of the position of czar is questionable Constitutionally. The people in these position are appointed and weild much power yet they are not subject to any vetting or approval process.

How do they exert their unconstitutional power? They threaten people within their perview. For example the Car Czar may say to the Obama-appointed CEO, "You WILL manufacture such-and-such a type of car in this amount that gets thus-and-such gas mileage." If that person balks, he or she is simply told to do so or, "We'll make your life and that of GM miserable."

In the same way the major banks were told that they HAD to take the bailout money whether they needed it or wanted it. Then the document they were forced to sign made them subject to all the purview and control the Whitehouse chose to exert on them, threats and all. The saying was and is, "You are at the table or you are on the menu."

We now have an administration that is nothing more than Chicago street thugs with all the threats and intimidation techniques pertaining thereto. Many of these activities would even be illegal in Chicago, yet in the Whitehouse they become the defacto "law of the land."

Will we wake up soon enough to stop this massive turn to European Socialism? Will we ever recognize or admit that socialism of this nature has NEVER succeeded in any country in the world where it has been tried?

The Governmental Pretense of Care

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people under the pretence of taking care of them." -- Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson got it right! He well understood that government extracts the labor of its citizens in the form of taxation and inflation all the while pretending to take care of them.

Taking "care" of us? Bankrupt Social Security system, bankrupt Medicare system, bankrupt Postal Service, bankrupt and corrupt Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? ... everything already draining our resources faster than we can generate more income.

How's that for caring for us?

And now they want to take over health care! INDEED! No thank you!

Terminal Patients Die Prematurely Under Government Health Plan

The British National Health Service has acknowledged that many terminally ill patients die prematurely. Terminally ill patients are "being made to die" experts warn!

"Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.

But this approach can also mask the signs that their condition is improving, the experts warn.

As a result the scheme is causing a “national crisis” in patient care, the letter states. It has been signed palliative care experts including Professor Peter Millard, Emeritus Professor of Geriatrics, University of London, Dr Peter Hargreaves, a consultant in Palliative Medicine at St Luke’s cancer centre in Guildford, and four others.

“Forecasting death is an inexact science,”they say. Patients are being diagnosed as being close to death “without regard to the fact that the diagnosis could be wrong.

“As a result a national wave of discontent is building up, as family and friends witness the denial of fluids and food to patients."

This is the picture of government run health care ... and only part of it!

You may say that that would never happen here. Why not? The British are not stupid people nor do they simply have a disregard for human life. What about the Canadians, Russians, Chinese, French, and Cubans. Are they too stupid to avoid such "problems?" Of course not!

What we are witnessing is the end result of a mandated government system!

True, our medical system needs some corrections, but scrapping the whole system for one in which the government has the control is NOT a solution for which we should settle.

With an out-of-control Congress, an out-of-control administration, broken and bankrupt governmental systems, and a deficit that cannot be paid off by our grandchildren, the best action for our Congress to take is to DO NOTHING!

The simply cannot be trusted.

Obama's Health Plan -- Murder-Suicide

President Obama has already admitted publicly that he is "foggy" on the Healthcare Bill.

Foggy indeed!

He does not understand it, yet he is INSISTENT that it be passed immediately without adequate time for any legislator to read it!

Dick Morris calls it suicide. He says that, if it is passed, the Democratic Party will be committing suicide.

It is actually murder-suicide! The Democratic Party and all their liberal, socialist promoters will be killing the nation with a socialized medical system that has already failed in every country where it has been tried. THEN they will commit political suicide

This is NOT properly debated legislation, it is a cram-down! It is being crammed down the throats of the American people and small businesses!

As Senator Ted Kennedy told us in the mid-1960s after the Medicare program--projected to cost 88 million dollars--was passed and overran the estimates by more than double that, it was important to pass the bill and stating the real cost would have derailed it.

It is obvious that the proponents DO know how much it will really cost. That is not important to them. What they really want is control of the system, so they, not you or your physician will be able to make all the decisions.

You must contact your legislators and tell them you donot want them to pass anything without thoroughly examining and debating it.

This IS a Christian Nation, President Obama!

WHERE was this guy when we needed a presidential candidate? I really don't know where Mr. Forbes is on any other issue; but, on this one ... HE GETS IT! Made me slap the desk and holler, "THAT"S RIGHT!"

Judge Sotomayor is Truly Dangerous to Freedom

Think that President Obama's appointment of Judge Sonia Sotomayor is warranted? Think again.

She has a history of casting the law aside when she feels it should be otherwise. She has no compunction to follow the law when she disagrees with it. Many of her opinions and decisions are terrible flawed.

Many of her decisions have been overturned by the Supreme Court. She clearly feels guns should not be in the hands of citizens, and that civil rights are NOT to be decided by the law. She has also stated that unelected judges should be deciding our nation's policies rather than our elected representatives.

This nation cannot afford to have Judge Sotomayor on our Supreme Court!

Look at this balanced analysis.

GUARANTEED FAILURE: Raising State Taxes

California, Illinois, Connecticut, Michigan, Minnesota, and other states are in serious financial difficulty because of profligate spending. Their "leaders" have the idea that they can solve their financial woes simply by taxing the higher income people of their states.

This is doomed to failure and is simply "spread-the-wealth" stupidity--failed socialism thinking. Perhaps it is unfortunate but there is no law against stupidity.

"Economists Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore said that many state governors are embracing a losing strategy — soaking the rich."

In his article at moneynews.com, Gene J. Koprowski points out that,

"New Illinois Gov. Patrick Quinn wants a 50 percent increase in the income tax rate on the wealthy because this is the 'fair' way to close his state's gaping deficit," the economists write in The Wall Street Journal.

Gov. Quinn and other tax-obsessed governors have been empowered by recent studies by left-wing groups like the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities that suggest that tax increases, particularly tax increases on higher-income families, may be the best available option, to balance state budgets.

"Here's the problem for states that want to pry more money out of the wallets of rich people. It never works because people, investment capital and businesses are mobile: They can leave tax-unfriendly states and move to tax-friendly states," write Laffer and Moore.

In the last 11 years 1,100 every day of the year on average have moved from high-tax states primarily to the states with no income tax--mainly Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Tennessee. The political leaders of high-tax states cannot put fences around their states to force their citizens to remain inside their borders as did the old Soviet Union.

Such policies will drive the most productive people AND their money out of the taxing states to those who allow more economic freedom. Nor was Rush Limbaugh first nor the last New Yorker to leave for Florida, and the higher the tax differentials, the greater the rush out of those states, and the greater the prosperity in the low-tax states.

Not only will they take themselves and their money out, but also the jobs they create and support.
