Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer redacted a health-care provision that Sarah Pailin called “death panel” and “downright evil.” In a Facebook posting, she basically said that “ federal bureaucrats would play God” and decide on who is worthy of health care. The provision of the health care bill as written by Blumenauer would allow Medicare to pay doctors to counsel selected patients about end-of-life care…or care of life-end. Blumenauer condemned Pailin, joined by many other elected officials –both sides of the aisle, some Reps desperately trying to distance themselves from the failing presidential ticket– and media echo chambers. He also said that “It’s deliberate at this point. If she wasn’t deliberately lying at the beginning, she is deliberately allowing a terrible falsehood to be spread with her name.” Interestingly, Pailin harsh words came out Aug 7th and after 5 days of damage control and denial, Aug 13, the senators have finally excluded the provision and put an end to the angry debate because “it could be misinterpreted or implemented incorrectly” according to Senator Chuck Grassley who also stated that the provision had been dropped from consideration.

Question to you?

Was Pailin really wrong? If yes, why was the provision discarded after public scrutiny and why the talks about setting ethical, regulated and sensitive “end of life” counseling?

In an Obama future world that could have been, when you are considering putting a loved one in hospice care, would you want to be offered end-of-life solutions instead, presented with all the perks of getting rid of the old fart instead of dragging him into an expensive and wasteful program? You tell me!

I remember the utopian Age of Aquarius with unwashed hippies, free love and self proclaimed intellectuals rebelling against the status quo. The liberals of the day had gained a firm hand on education and were spewing their bilge into the minds of the youth. The fear-mongering was future famine due to overpopulation and nuclear war. Liberal teachers inculcated young minds that procreating more than one child would cause a famine by the turn of the century due to overpopulation. Liberals used the media, public academia and promises of utopia to convince Americans to allow more government to control their lives.

Fifteen years later I matured and outgrew liberalism. I realized the magazine cover of people falling off the earth due to overpopulation was a scam, just like all the other notions, theories and programs the leftist advocated. I realized that Soylent Green was just another liberal propaganda flick and with a false prediction.

It’s been forty years and nothing has really changed with liberals. They continue to use the old media, public academia and promises of utopia to convince Americans to allow more government to control their lives. Just like yesteryear the democrat party is continuing the assault on our freedoms. Liberty is a foreign concept and will not be allowed in obama’s America. The Marxist messiah and his democrat party have seized control of financial institutions, insurance companies and auto companies. They are trying to restrict freedom even more by seizing control of energy and healthcare.

Obamacare has nothing to do with health care, health insurance or cutting cost. It is all about more government control and termination of individual freedom. Unlike our politicians I’ve read the bill. Here are a few provisions that should concern freedom-loving Americans.

Sec 102: limits changes of terms or conditions, prohibits plans that do no not meet requirements and prohibits new enrollees; all plans must meet government requirement with in 5 yrs, if the private plan you have does not meet the requirement you are automatically enrolled in the government plan

Sec 123: establishes a benefits advisory committee; a commissioner shall develop and issue guidance on best practices plan;

Sec 141: establishes Health Commissioner develop plans and enforces standards; the Health Choices Commissioner will choose health care benefits

Sec 152: government health plan will be provided to non US citizens including illegal aliens

Sec 163 (Sec 1173A) Standardize Electronic Administrative Transactions; Establishes real-time access to finance records & mandates a National ID Health card; authorizes direct real time access to bank accounts for electric fund transfers
Sec 164: subsidized health insurance for union & community organization retirees and their families (including ACORN)

Sec 201: creates Health Care Exchange to control private insurance plans

Sec 203: specifies private insurance benefit plans must equal the government insurance plan

Sec 205: authorizes groups i.e., ACORN & Americorps to register people for government insurance

Sec 225: government will mandate reimbursements or salaries for doctors

Sec 312: employer that does not provide health insurance must enroll employees into government plan

Sec 401: any individual who doesn’t have acceptable health insurance plan will be taxed 2.5%; nonresident alien (illegal aliens) are exempt from individual taxes

Sec 1121: reduces physician services for Medicaid recipients

Sec 1151: Penalizes hospitals for what it deems preventable readmissions; Penalizes doctors that treat a patient during and initial admission that results in a read miss

Sec 1163: authorizes disqualification of Medicare Advanced Plans, HMOs, etc

Sec 1177: restricts enrollment of Special needs patients

Now this House bill it is not law yet, but obama wants it and is lying profusely to sell it. The messiah promises free health care to all but the rich. Only his fuzzy liberal math does not add up. It is mathematically impossible to add 47 million people, serviced by fewer doctors at a decreased cost. The real answer is Rationing! The town hall revolts are proving a majority of Americans know he is lying and are not buying his snake oil. Only brain-dead liberals that are puppets of the democrat party and bow at the alter of the Marxist messiah is buying this snake oil.

Just as Soylent Green was people, Obamacare is nothing but big government control and the loss of freedom.

Secretary of State Clinton stating August 2 that North Korea’s missile-launching provocation is the behavior of a brat. She said that “What we’ve seen is this constant demand for attention, and maybe it’s the mother in me or the experience that I’ve had with small children and unruly teenagers and people who are demanding attention — don’t give it to them, they don’t deserve it, they are acting out,” . That is why we have sent former president Bill Clinton to pick up the two journalists that North Korea had already agreed to release, thus allowing Kim Jong a nice photo op with beloved Clinton, and the local communist media to declare that along with the prestigious envoy, came a letter of apologies from Obama. Way to go and reward bad behavior! Of course there was not such letter –I hope- and of course, despite denials from the White House, this was not a private initiative. Korea 1, Community organizer 0.

Soon to come to the surface: what we gave up or exchange.

Question to you: should we bail out at any price all these people who put their lives in danger and the country at risk by ignoring the State Department travel advisories? What good did the female journalists or the Berkeley writers/hikers do to the world of news or intelligence? They took incredible risks to break the glass ceiling of journalism and report on secluded and repressive countries. They wanted to make a name for themselves…they did eventually. But what diplomatic price did we pay? Kim Jong was all smile while treating a former US President with benevolence. For a supposedly dying guy ready to vacate power, he looked energetic and talkative, on top of his game. He brought us to his own negotiation table and had us beg for the two girls. He pardoned them, meaning they are still guilty of all charges but forgiven by the good old man. And all that while Hillary, the State Secretary and wife of the envoy, was taking a firm stand against North Korea and was embroiled in a name calling game with them (she compared them to unruly teenagers and they labeled her a “funny lady, that someteime looks like a primary school girl and sometime a pensioner going shopping” They also said “her words suggest that she is by no means intelligent”.

What the hell is going on out there?

During Obama’s infomercial for government-run health care on July 22nd the alleged smartest-president-ever once again illustrated how his arrogance is out matched by his incompetence. In weighing in on a local incident the president-who-would-be-king demonstrated to the American people that he is completely clueless on the function of the presidency. But then what would you expect from a community organizer with no managerial or executive experience?

Obama goes on national TV and claims the Cambridge Police Department and Sgt. Crowley “acted stupidly” for arresting his racist friend, Harvard professor Henry Gates, for accosting the police officer with racial slurs and causing a disturbance in front of his house. So who acted “stupidly” here? Professor Gates for acting like a fool or Obama for acknowledging that he “did not know all the facts” when defending his racist friend “Skip” Gates by claiming the “police” acted “stupidly”?

How smart was it for Obama to have accumulated seventeen Cambridge parking tickets while attending Harvard Law School in the late 1980’s and not paying them until the beginning of his presidential campaign in 2007? Was it smart for team Obama to imply the Cambridge Police were racially biased because they contributed to McCain’s campaign when “Skippy” Gates is a professor of Black Studies (black racism) and contributed $4600 to Obama? Also, it was not a brilliant comment after his A.G. Eric Holder’s racist announcement that the United States was a nation of cowards on matters of race.

Acting stupidly is not new for the Marxist messiah and his team. Let’s chronicle a short list of their “stupid moments”. After choosing the dimwitted gaff machine Joe Biden for VP, he and team Obama nominate “Tax Cheats” Timothy Geithner, Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer, Ron Kirk and Hilda Solis and investigation plagued Bill Richardson for cabinet positions.

Giving the British PM Gordon Brown twenty-five DVD’s that was not compatible with European media players and bowing to the Saudi king was not a shining moment. When Obama announced on Saudi TV that he wanted to return to the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world raises questions about his illusionary world view as this golden age was actually plagued with turmoil. Obama delivered a Persian New Year video message to Iran announcing a new beginning in relations as a crowd chanted “Death to America” and the Ayatollah Khamenei questioned who was pulling his strings. It’s no wonder as Obama first announced that Iran is not a threat to the US then admitted it is, then spoke of “a world without nuclear weapons” as North Korea test fired a ballistic missile towards the U.S.

The eloquent messiah is actually an incoherent rambling-stuttering-stammering orator without the teleprompter. He and team Obama manages one stupid comment after another. Like when Obama declared that Caterpillar was going to start hiring people after his stimulus bill was passed and was then refuted by CEO Jim Owen who said they were going to have more lay offs. Obama explained he will make alternative energy sources more competitive by raising the cost of carbon-based energy until it too expensive. In pushing his nationalized health care Obama accused doctors of removing “kids” tonsils for the “bottom line.” An outright lie and stupid comment!

After promising transparency team Obama terminated “whistle blowers” AmeriCorps’ Inspector General Gerald Walpin and Amtrak Inspector General Fred Weiderhol who were investigating corruption and waste. Obama announced they would go line by line through the federal budget in order to eliminate wasteful and ineffective programs, which he is not allowed to do, and then gave the American taxpayer a $1.8 trillion dollar deficit while the economic wizard Biden announced, “we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt.

Unlike the astute and shrewd organizer of the 1930’s, Obama runs the White House like “Romper Room” while he and his “Not Ready for Sesame Street” players make acting stupidly an art form. Yet, Obama has the audacity to accuse the Cambridge police of acting stupidly and the liberal lap dog media, that would have excoriated President Bush, continues to give their messiah a pass on all his stupid moments. Voters aren’t as Obama’s approval rating by likely voters has dropped to 48%. It appears the American public is starting to take notice as the Hitler-like adulation for the new savior is starting to wane. To steal a line from Mr. Gump, “stupid is as stupid does”.
