Obama Mocks Republican 'Armageddon' Rhetoric

You may have seen the above video. However, signing the health care bill is more like planting kudzu. Kudzu was once thought beneficial but is now considered a pest weed costing $500 million a year to control.

Congressman doesn't care about Constitution

Congressman: 'I Don’t Worry About the Constitution' on Health Care Overhaul

When the people who take an oath to uphold the Constitution don't care, then this nation is in trouble. If the peaceful people protests, like those of the Tea Parties, are ignored by those in power, then don't be surprised if some people take a more active approach.

There are many groups, both left and right, that will use this discontent to try to fracture this nation. Did the people in the 1840's anticipate the Civil War? By the time the policies of this leftist controlled Congress are fully felt will we be able to step back from the brink? Many people will not allow their liberty to be taken from them.

Do Not Be Fooled - Obama allows "exploration".

No permits until 2012? This is probably just a way to get his cap-and-trade bill passed. Just like his promise to have the health care negotiations on C-SPAN, this is a promise that can be easily broken.

When actual drilling is able to begin he can change his mind again, probably right after the 2012 elections. Why not drill in the oil rich Pacific and known oil-rich areas in Alaska? Why not ANWR? Could it be that Virginia and the southern east cost vote Republican, and California, Oregon and Washington vote Democratic?

Health Care Bill Notes

I was watching a Democrat governor from a North State stating that the Lobbyists had prevented a lot things he wished would be in the bill (like getting drugs from Canada). I wish the reporter had asked him, "Which of the Democratic legislators who voted yes on the bill are in the pockets of these lobbyists?"

My thoughts: I buy health insurance to protect me from health care bills over $100,000 and to keep the costs of bills when I visit the hospital. Those without insurance are sometimes charged 3 times what those who have an insurance. Just like I don't buy car insurance to pay for car washes, gasoline, and oil changes; I don't buy health insurance to pay for doctor visits, etc.

Good news, in the future (2014?) I will no longer have to buy insurance. If I get a major illness I can buy a policy then, since there will no longer be any denial for pre-existing conditions. And though the law states there will be a fine for those without insurance (up to $325 or 2.8%? of household income), the law also states that the IRS cannot place on liens, interests, etc. So if you aren't bother by the IRS calling you, there is nothing else they can do.

Health Care Bill Passes

He is my prediction: This bill will be considered the worst action by the Congress since Prohibition.

True there are some good parts, like Democrats like to quote polls about, but as a whole this bill is a disaster.

The mandate to require people to buy insurance is unconstitutional. To require someone to buy a product or service is in essence slavery. If this provision is upheld by the courts, you can just throw away the Constitution.

Some like to say it is equivalent to buying auto insurance. But it is more like forcing people who don't have cars to buy auto insurance because they might one day buy a car or ride in a taxi. Also auto insurance does not pay for gas or oil changes.

Torture for Fun or National Security?

A lot of left disparage the Bush administration for water-boarding 3 terrorists. The French enjoy torture for a TV game show. Maybe this will help the left understand how Abu Ghraib can happen without official approve from the very top.

Obama the Magical President

His health care bill will reduce medical premiums by 3000%. And he is supposed to be smarted than Bush?
