APPLES AND ORANGES

Here we are almost one year into the health care debate and everyone is still confusing the issue of what constitutes insurance coverage.  Too many of our astute Harvard graduates have kept the waters muddied just to propel their agenda into acceptance by the voting public.

Insurance is a company taking a risk with the premium, we pay them that nothing catastrophic will happen to one of us, i.e. car, boat, house or life or health.  Insurance is totally different from health care coverage, where somebody takes your money and pools it with others and pays for all the non-catastrophic health care like a sniffle or a sneeze or bug bite or an aspirin.  Somewhere along the line somebody has mis-educated the masses to believe that every little symptom should be paid for other than themselves.  This mentality has caused the abuse of the system, and now no one can take care of themselves if they have a common cold, or their kid falls and scrapes their knees.

The politicians and the media are to blame for all this disinformation.  The politicians to advance their agenda, will mishandle the English language.  I am afraid the media does it, because they believe the politicians.

So here we are at an impasse to the debate over health care.  It isn’t a question of receiving health care and we all know that.  The debate is over who is going to pay and how it will be paid for and who is going to get it paid for.  We are not talking about “insurance” we are talking about paying for doctor’s visits, bandages, nasal spray and aspirins.  We are now paying for all this who pay their own way out of their own pocket, those who only carry catastrophic coverage-you know the kind that will take care a person if they contract cancer or have a heart attack or something out of the normal course of everyday living-those who pay for exams, x-rays or blood tests or office visits just as a preventative measure.  Everybody seems to think it is going to be free if the government gets their hands on it.

THE SOLUTION TO THE HEALTH CARE ISSUE IS TO ELIMINATE ALL HEALTH CARE OTHER THAN CATASTROPHIC COVERAGE.  LET EVERYONE PAY FOR THEIR CARE, AND GET THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR LIVES.  ALL THOSE EXOTICS CALLED CADILLAC PLANS WILL BE ELIMINATED, AND IF YOU CAN AFFORD A PREMIUM OF $25,000/ YEAR, YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

We are now going to have the debate re-opened, sure.  It will still be the Presidents-my way or the highway-he can’t really surrender his Progressive ideology, they know best, and we had better just take it.

Is it really just a seasonal change, or is it “global warming”?

Today the world is being alerted by news about Pluto:

 

NASA today released the most detailed set of images ever taken of the distant dwarf planet Pluto. The images taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope show an icy and dark molasses-colored, mottled world that is undergoing seasonal changes in its surface color and brightness. Pluto has become significantly redder, while its illuminated northern hemisphere is getting brighter. These changes are most likely consequences of surface ices sublimating on the sunlit pole and then refreezing on the other pole as the dwarf planet heads into the next phase of its 248-year-long seasonal cycle. The dramatic change in color apparently took place in a two-year period, from 2000 to 2002.

 

Could it really be just a universal “warming” that we are all here on Earth just getting caught in?  This would be the answer that “Global Warming” fanatics wouldn’t want to know about.  They have made their assumptions based on junk science, taking their information from everyday hikers to students writing a thesis.  What great scientists they are proving to be.

 

When Hubble pictures taken in 1994 are compared with a new set of images taken in 2002 to 2003, astronomers see evidence that the northern polar region has gotten brighter, while the southern hemisphere has gotten darker. These changes hint at very complex processes affecting the visible surface, and the new data will be used in continued research.

 

In other words, they don’t have a clue as to what is really going on.  Neither does Al Gore and his buddies know what we are experiencing on Earth.  Has our carbon footprint extended out into space reaching Pluto?   This argument may be something to scare the pants off our children even more.  It isn’t bad enough to use polar bear extinction to scare them, they may try to use the extinction of Pluto (the dwarf planet, not the dog……….mmmmmmmmmmmm?) to scare them further.

 

 

 Marc Buie and his love of Pluto for more on Pluto,  "It’s a little bit of a surprise to see these changes happening so big and so fast," said astronomer Marc Buie of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo. "This is unprecedented."

Let us see how the “Global Warming” alarmists use this information to promote their lies.

Just Shut-Up Gloria: We don’t need your advocacy either!

You don’t even know what you are talking about this time Gloria.  You are trying once again to make an argument on a false premise.

Seeing Gloria Allred promoting herself again, at any cost to the public’s sanity, ticked me off enough to have to write another commentary.

Is the “pro-abortion” lobby so afraid of Mrs. Tebow’s story that they are doing the promotion for the ad themselves?  Why does a sincere story of woman’s choice to choose life so threatening to them?

Her argument while on Fox News this afternoon pivoted around the fact that in the Philippines when Mrs. Tebow opted to birth her soon there was no provision for legalized abortion.

A little background on Tim:

Tebow was born on August 14, 1987 in Manila in the Philippines, to Bob and Pam Tebow, who were serving as Christian missionaries at the time. While pregnant, Pam suffered a life-threatening infection with a pathogenic amoeba. Because of the drugs used to rouse her from a coma and to treat her dysentery, the fetus experienced a severe placental abruption. Doctors expected a stillbirth and recommended an abortion to protect her life. She carried Timothy to term, and both survived.

Ms.  Allred’s case for the Tebow’s misleading the public in their ad is that they do not discuss the laws of the Philippines.  Guess what Gloria, she could have left the Islands and gone back to the USA or any other country that performed legalized abortions.

Mrs. Tebow chose to go full term with her pregnancy putting it more in “God’s”, “Fate’s”, “nature’s, or whatever you want to call its hands.  Now does that upset everyone that she may have been a Christian missionary?  Would everyone be totally ticked at this, and all worked up if she was Wiccan, Buddhist, an Atheist, Agnostic or Gnositic?  I think they would not care a bit if it weren’t the fact that some Christian is talking about their belief, which threatens all those who have none, so it seems.

God sure can put the fear of God in those who go against Him, strange isn’t it?

(I won’t even get into the fear of the Atheists trying to stop the Mother Teresa stamp, their fear is astounding.)

These anti-Tebow ad ranters really need to get a grip and stop trying to preach their religion to everyone, and yes they do possess a religion.  Just as the 1st commandment states:

I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

– Exodus 20:2-6 (WEB)

Every time they try to make an argument, they just enforce the truth of the First Commandment, funny isn’t it?  Free thinkers falling into the trap of idol worship of some kind in some shape and in some form.

YOU JUST HAVE TO LAUGH at how hideous they sound.  Gloria sure can sound like a buffoon when she tries too hard to peddle her religion.

How can we fool them today?

It isn’t about putting lipstick on a pig.  It is that you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

We all are very aware of the wonderful event in Massachusetts on Tuesday, January 19th.  The Liberals are in shock and their grief can be felt throughout the nation.  “How could he have done this?”, they ask themselves.

The Progressive Liberals have believed their brain washing was working and they could do anything they wanted to do, they hold (held) the power and the purse strings.  They believed they were given a mandate to continue with their insane ideas for wealth deprivation (redistribution).  “WE ARE SAINTS AND SOON THE WORLD WILL SEE THAT,” of course they didn’t care how many dead bodies they left in their wake.

The tide has turned and now they must scramble to have the voters, the actual stakeholders believe they aren’t who they have been for the past 30 years.  Having disparaged and demeaned and degraded those who participated in the resistance of their lame brain ideology, they want everyone to believe they heard the message of Tuesday’s upheaval to their dirty little plans.

The President has flew into Ohio to let them know how he “feels their pain” of unemployment, and he has heard their cries for “change”.  What a crock this is.  He just told us the other night in his interview on ABC it is us who can’t hear what he was trying to tell us.  He wants to tell us what our values are and what the administration is doing to live up to those values.  It was John Kerry’s trying to intimidate Scott that was blatant and despicable.  Kerry’s statements about Brown caring about “reform” and helping the American citizens, I know he does, but does he really care as much as we do and how will he prove that he does?-that was the implication of Kerry’s little speech.  So now the President is going to go out into the hinterland and try to intimidate the voters.  He reads a teleprompter about American values, but doesn’t understand them nor does he have a clue to what constitutes American values, he believes he is even above those values.  American values aren’t quite on his level.

We are a compassionate country, just take a peek at what we are doing in Haiti.  We do want reform, we just don’t want reform that fundamentally transforms this wonderful country.  The reform we want is to have government get out of our faces and our wallets and our lives.  This garbage they tell us about, “for the greater good” is neither true nor sane nor is it great or even good.  One person’s poison is another person’s medicine, perhaps they can’t grasp that concept.  It must be their ideal of what is the greatest good and we had better conform to it.

No matter how they come at us and try to shame us, as they so ineptly try to do (we are older and wiser) they will be unable to convince us that they have truly changed.  They are incapable of changing their fundamental belief system.  They want to rewrite the basic “Bill of Rights” to conform to their ideals.  They will manipulate and distort and use every rhetorical argument they can muster up to convince us we are wrong and their ideals are grander.  They redefine words to fit their agendas, what ever they choose to be important to them will undergo the “you are bad, we are good” microscope and the shame machine will be in full force.  “Shame on you” is the tool they use to try to throw guilt trips on everyone if they are not meeting their expectations of social justice or compassion or sympathy for someone else.  They run around in their jets and limos not even seeing their hypocrisy.  They have the belief of entitlement for themselves and their slaves, but forget about those who foot their bills.

We are going to be treated to a Presidential pivot when it comes to the State of Union address.  It is going to be all rhetoric without any substance.  The young man from Hawaii is so engrained in his ideology that it will be painful for him to even talk about adjustments.  It will be another speech about hope and change, but for him to have the hope he believes in we are the ones who he wants to change.

I don’t plan to see a silk purse miraculously come out of the Liberal Progressives ideology of a pig’s ear.  It would be easier to put lipstick on a chicken than to believe this evolution.  No matter how he hard he will try to convince us of this “change” he won’t really believe it and neither should we.  The roots of his ideology is in his DNA, and then reinforced by all his environment growing up, it wasn’t something that just sounded good while in college.  It is in his bones and heart and soul, just watch his pain when he wants us to believe he is compromising it for us, even those policies are drenched with his ideology.

He tells us of his little spending freeze to placate us, while he is planning to redistribute wealth with his new program of savings plan by matching up to $500.00 for those who will save $1,000.00, now that really makes sense, doesn’t it?

Now just listen and watch and see if you can find that silk purse-betcha you won’t.

How do you pay for the HC bribes?

We are watching this mess unfold right before our very eyes.  A simple idea has turned into one of the most disgusting pile of crap anyone could have imagined.  This monstrosity has more loopholes for the connected  than even Lenin or Mao could have conceived.  We see the payoff  to the unions in the current cronyism, donate enough, and you reap the pay offs.

These so called “Cadillac plans”  that the unions have been given a reprieve from taxed are more held by the members of the unions’ payroll than the rank and file.  Who is really going to benefit from this pay-off?

How do we pay for all the bribes given to get this ridiculous mess they have been marching toward?

The grand idea is now to tax the banks to pay off their cronies, how convenient.

Congress tells us they have been waiting 100 years for government healthcare:

READ OUR LIPS

READ OUR SIGNS

READ OUR VOTES

OUR GRANDPARENTS DIDN’T WANT IT

OUR PARENTS DIDN’T WANT IT

WE DON’T WANT IT

OUR CHILDREN DON’T WANT IT

AND NEITHER DO OUR GRANDCHILDREN WANT IT

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE WORD NO, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, CONGRESS?

I often wonder where is all those unlimited funds to Freddie and Fannie are really going.
