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?

Spread the word!

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.
