I AM PAUL WILSON

From Townhall.com

It is tacky to post other peoples articles, but some are just too important, not to post. The Secular Socialists are attempting to destroy America as we know it with this HealthCare scam and Cap n Trade. I see the possibility of an armed revolution in our future.

WASHINGTON — The United States has the best health care in the world — but because of its inefficiencies, also the most expensive. The fundamental problem with the 2,074-page Senate health-care bill (as with its 2,014-page House counterpart) is that it wildly compounds the complexity by adding hundreds of new provisions, regulations, mandates, committees and other arbitrary bureaucratic inventions.

Worse, they are packed into a monstrous package without any regard to each other. The only thing linking these changes — such as the 118 new boards, commissions and programs — is political expediency. Each must be able to garner just enough votes to pass. There is not even a pretense of a unifying vision or conceptual harmony.

The result is an overregulated, overbureaucratized system of surpassing arbitrariness and inefficiency. Throw a dart at the Senate tome:

– You’ll find mandates with financial penalties — the amounts picked out of a hat.

– You’ll find insurance companies (who live and die by their actuarial skills) told exactly what weight to give risk factors, such as age. Currently insurance premiums for 20-somethings are about one-sixth the premiums for 60-somethings. The House bill dictates the young shall now pay at minimum one-half; the Senate bill, one-third — numbers picked out of a hat.

– You’ll find sliding scales for health-insurance subsidies — percentages picked out of a hat — that will radically raise marginal income tax rates for middle- class recipients, among other crazy unintended consequences.

The bill is irredeemable. It should not only be defeated. It should be immolated, its ashes scattered over the Senate swimming pool.

Then do health care the right way — one reform at a time, each simple and simplifying, aimed at reducing complexity, arbitrariness and inefficiency.

First, tort reform. This is money — the low-end estimate is about half a trillion per decade — wasted in two ways. Part is simply hemorrhaged into the legal system to benefit a few jackpot lawsuit winners and an army of extravagantly rich malpractice lawyers such as John Edwards.

The rest is wasted within the medical system in the millions of unnecessary tests, procedures and referrals undertaken solely to fend off lawsuits — resources wasted on patients who don’t need them and which could be redirected to the uninsured who really do.

In the 4,000-plus pages of the two bills, there is no tort reform. Indeed, the House bill actually penalizes states that dare "limit attorneys’ fees or impose caps on damages." Why? Because, as Howard Dean has openly admitted, Democrats don’t want "to take on the trial lawyers." What he didn’t say — he didn’t need to — is that they give millions to the Democrats for precisely this kind of protection.

Second, even more simple and simplifying, abolish the prohibition against buying health insurance across state lines.

Some states have very few health insurers. Rates are high. So why not allow interstate competition? After all, you can buy oranges across state lines. If you couldn’t, oranges would be extremely expensive in Wisconsin, especially in winter.

And the answer to the resulting high Wisconsin orange prices wouldn’t be the establishment of a public option — a federally run orange-growing company in Wisconsin — to introduce "competition." It would be to allow Wisconsin residents to buy Florida oranges.

But neither bill lifts the prohibition on interstate competition for health insurance. Because this would obviate the need — the excuse — for the public option, which the left wing of the Democratic Party sees (correctly) as the royal road to fully socialized medicine.

Third, tax employer-provided health insurance. This is an accrued inefficiency of 65 years, an accident of World War II wage controls. It creates a $250 billion annual loss of federal revenues — the largest tax break for individuals in the entire federal budget.

This reform is the most difficult to enact, for two reasons. The unions oppose it. And the Obama campaign savaged the idea when John McCain proposed it during last year’s election.

Insuring the uninsured is a moral imperative. The problem is that the Democrats have chosen the worst possible method — a $1 trillion new entitlement of stupefying arbitrariness and inefficiency.

The better choice is targeted measures that attack the inefficiencies of the current system one by one — tort reform, interstate purchasing and taxing employee benefits. It would take 20 pages to write such a bill, not 2,000 — and provide the funds to cover the uninsured without wrecking both U.S. health care and the U.S. Treasury.

I found this at IFPRESS. As Canada goes,- this applies to us too.The 0bambie is all set to go to Copenhagen to sign away our sovereignty.

By LORRIE GOLDSTEIN

scientific scandal dubbed "climategate," it’s because Big Government, Big Business and Big Green don’t give a s*** about "the science." They never have.

What "climategate" suggests is many of the world’s leading climate scientists didn’t either. Apparently they stifled their own doubts about recent global cooling not explained by their computer models, manipulated data, plotted ways to avoid releasing it under freedom of information laws and attacked fellow scientists and scientific journals for publishing even peer-reviewed literature of which they did not approve.

Now they and their media shills — who sneered that all who questioned their phony "consensus" were despicable "deniers," the moral equivalent of those who deny the Holocaust — are the ones in denial about the enormity of the scandal enveloping them.

So they desperately try to portray it as the routine "messy" business of science, lamely insisting, "nothing to see here folks, move along."

Before the Internet — which has given ordinary people a way to fight back against the received wisdom of so-called "wise elites" — they might have gotten away with it.

But not now, as knowledgeable climate bloggers are advancing the story and forcing the co-opted mainstream media to cover a scandal most would rather ignore.

The problem, however, is those who hijacked science to predict a looming Armageddon unless we do exactly as they say, have already done their damage.

The moment they convinced politicians the way to avert the End of Days was to put a price on emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the unholy alliance of Big Government, Big Business and Big Green was forged.

Big Government wants more of your taxes. Big Business wants more of your income. Big Green wants you and your children to bow down to its agenda of enforced austerity.

What about saving the planet, you ask? This was never about saving the planet.

This is about money and power. Your money. Their power.

If it was about saving the planet, "cap-and-trade" (a.k.a. cap-and-tax) — how Big Government, Big Business and Big Green ludicrously pretend we will "fight" global warming and "save the planet" — would have been consigned to the dust bin of history because it doesn’t work. We know it doesn’t work because Europe’s five-year-old cap-and-trade market — the Emissions Trading Scheme — has done nothing to make the world cooler.

All it’s done is make hedge fund managers, speculators and Big Energy giddy with windfall profits, while making everyone else poorer by driving up the cost of energy, and thus of most goods and services, which need energy to be lighted, heated, cooled, grown, constructed, manufactured, produced and transported.

Readers often ask how they can fight back. First, forget about asking when the warmists will see reason. They won’t.

Instead, send a message to Prime Minister Stephen Harper by e-mail (pm@pm.gc.ca), fax (1-613-941-6900) or call toll-free (1-866-599-4999) and ask to be put through to the Office of the Prime Minister.

Do the same for Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff by e-mail, (ignatm@parl.gc.ca). fax, (1-613-947-0310), or call-toll free (1-866-599-4999) and ask to be put through to the Liberal Leader’s Office.

Tell them you want no part of the madness in Copenhagen.

Blow their phones off the hook.

Anyone who has read this blog knows that I am a HUGE fan of Sarah Palin. So this is just for my enjoyment. Plus my copy of her book should be here any time now.

No comment is needed for this article from The Obama File

Senior aides to Barack Obama accompanied four Uighur prisoners as they were flown from Guantanamo Bay to the British colony of Bermuda, without the United Kingdom (UK) being informed, it was revealed In early June, 2009, angering the UK.

In an escalating diplomatic row over the transfer of the former terrorist suspects, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed the transfer with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in what was said to be an uneasy conversation.  Privately Whitehall officials accused America of treating Britain, with whom it is supposed to have a "special relationship," with barely disguised contempt.

Remember, in February, in one of his first exchanges with the UK, Obama sent a bust of Winston Churchill back to Britain.  Then, in March, Prime Minister Gordon Brown faced humiliation after he was snubbed by Obama.  During Brown’s visit, the Prime Minister brought several meaningful and valued items to give to Obama.  What he got in return was 25 CD’s of classic movies, that were incompatible with the UK format.  Then, in April, Obama gifted Queen Elizabeth II with an iPod, a gift that was criticized by etiquette experts.

In June, Queen Elizabeth — the only living head of state that participated in WW II — was snubbed and not invited to the D-Day ceremonies, described as a "Franco-American" event.

In September, it emerged that Barack Obama had turned down no fewer than five requests from Downing Street to hold a bilateral meeting between Obama and Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, at the United Nations in New York or at the G20 summit starting in Pittsburgh on September, 24th.   

Obama has not missed a single opportunity to insult the Brits, one of our greatest allies.

Accidents?  I hardly think so.  The US State Department, Office of the Chief of Protocol, under the direction of Acting Chief of Protocol Laura B. Wills, is responsible for avoiding these gaffes.  Career bureaucrats, working out of the White House are in place to ensure insults such as these, don’t occur.  So, they must be purposeful — but why?

It’s my opinion that Obama’s divided loyalties are at the bottom of his treatment of the UK and he harbors a deep and abiding hostility towards the Brits because of the treatment he believes his grandfather and father received during British colonial rule.

During Obama’s first visit to Kenya in 1988, his grandmother Sarah told him about the resentment against white colonial rule in Kenya, with rallies and mounting violence that would explode into full-scale rebellion in 1952.  "Most of this activity centered on Kikuyuland," she told him.  "But the Luo, too, were oppressed. Men in our area began to join the Kikuyu"

"Granny Sarah" told Obama that Hussein Onyango Obama, Obama’s paternal grandfather, became involved in the Kenyan independence movement while working as a cook for a British army officer after World War II.  He was arrested in 1949 and jailed for two years in a high-security prison where, according to his family, he was subjected to horrific violence to extract information about the growing insurgency.  Sarah, said that her husband had supplied information to the insurgents.  "His job as cook to a British army officer made him a useful informer for the secret oathing movement which would later form the Mau Mau rebellion," she said.  "At the time the insurgents were secretly taking oaths which included promises to kill white settlers and colonialists," Mrs. Onyango said.

"To arrest a Luo, WW II veteran, who was a senior figure in the community, is pretty serious.  They must have had some damn good evidence," said Professor David Anderson, director of the African Studies Centre at the University of Oxford, and an authority on the Mau Mau rebellion.

Obama refers briefly to his grandfather’s imprisonment in his best-selling memoir, "Dreams…," but states that his grandfather was held only for "more than six months."  Obama described his grandfather’s physical state: "When he returned to Alego he was very thin and dirty.  He had difficulty walking, and his head was full of lice."  For some time, he was too traumatized to speak about his experiences.

Barack Obama Sr., Onyango’s son and Obama’s father, seems to have inherited his father’s attitudes towards the colonial power.  He was also arrested, for attending a meeting in Nairobi of the Kenya African National Union (KANU), the organization spearheading the independence movement.  Sarah told Obama that his father, unlike her husband, had been held only for a short time in the white man’s prison: "Because he was not a leader in KANU, Barack [Sr.] was released after a few days."

Onyango may have been a victim of the fight for Kenyan independence, but his son became a direct beneficiary of that movement.  In 1959, Barack Obama Sr. was sent, on a scholarship, to the University of Hawaii.  Obama Sr. was selected by a former Kenyan cabinet minister, the late Tom Mboya, who was earmarked as the successor to Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first prime minister and  leader of the terrorist Mau Mau.

It is clear that the Obama’s were close to the leadership of the independence movement.  It is also clear that Obama’s "divided loyalty" — his anger at the white British colonists’ treatment of his grandfather and father — is behind all of these insults to America’s greatest ally.

"Divided loyalties" was an issue during the Constitutional Convention because of the Founders fear of foreign influence and the possibility of incidents, such as the ones mentioned above.

In fact, Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts wanted to take the issue so far as to stop foreigners from becoming citizens at all, claiming that the naturalized citizens would always have divided loyalties both to their home land and to America.  John Jay, Superintendent of Foreign Affairs (the predecessor of today’s office of Secretary of State), claimed that it would be "wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen."

Pierce Butler, an Irish-born delegate from South Carolina, developed an intense plan that would defeat all objections arising against earlier proposals for electing the president.  However, given the doubts concerning divided loyalties that Elbridge Gerry, John Jay, and others expressed, Butler’s proposal also included what became Article II, Section I of the Constitution. 

It is evident that the Founders had a clear reason to fear conspiracy and divided loyalties, and it is evident that Obama, a native-born Kenyan, has allowed his divided loyalties influence his judgment and behavior in regards to the UK.

This is personal and purposeful.

And don’t even get me started on Obama’s divided loyalties and Islam.

Major Malik Nadal Hasan, showed sign after sign of being a fundamentalist agenda driven radical Muslim. He shouted `Allahu Akbar’ before opening fire on unarmed troops. That makes him a terrorist in my book, he had been giving away its furniture, possessions, and even his copies of the Koran. He had planned this attack, he disapproved of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. He did not want to go to war against his Islamic brothers. So he decided to kill his fellow soldiers instead. After all that is what the Religion Of Peace tells him to do. There is one bright side to this. He is in the military so he is subject to military law. That means he could be facing a firing squad or hanging. I don’t think it will be jail time. I guess that makes me a racist. I don’t happen to like people that kill American soldiers.

I have no idea how many he would have killed if it were not for one courageous lady cop, Kimberly Munley: who after being wounded at least three times, ended the Fort Hood rampage, she is a hero.

Even though being wounded this brave lady managed to put four in this scumbag and take him down. My personal feeling is that if she could still walk she should’ve put one more in his head that would ensure that he did not kill anyone else., ever!!!

Once again the spineless Republicans have snatched defeat the from the jaws of victory. With the passage of the Stupak Amendment. They gave the blue dog Democrats the chance to cover their butts to their constituents by voting for the amendment. And then they could vote yes on the Pelosi bill. Did they wonder why so many Democrats voted for the Stupak bill? Are they so foolish that they think that amendment will be in the final product? I think not. That amendment will be shoved under the carpet gone. Perhaps if they had watched this video, they would’ve gotten a clue as to what they were doing. But I doubt it.

In this new video from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity, Eline van den Broek of the Netherlands needs only about four minutes to explain why government-run healthcare in Europe is a mistake .and why the problems in the U.S. healthcare system are the result of too much government, not too little

"It does not take a majority to prevail … but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." –Samuel Adams

those words are so true still this day. One year ago this month, the misguided and misinformed people of this country elected Barack Hussein Obama. Since taking office with strong majorities in both houses of Congress. He has set out on a task to destroy the  country that I fought for and shed blood for.  We still have American men and women fighting and dying for all of us who enjoy the freedom of this country, that includes all those liberal bastards in Congress and on the Huffington Post, Daily Kos. Media Matters, all those left-wing websites, discussion boards. who would like to see the soldiers, sailors, marines, all of them arrested and put in prison. 
That is why we have all of the Key Parties, Town Hall Meetings and in general, peaceful protests going on in this country, many people across the country have finally began to wake up. We must take our country back, I refuse to see this great country turned into a socialist Third World cesspool. Not as long as I am alive and able to fight. I hope that the coming fight can be a war war of words and actions and not result in bloodshed. This has to be a different kind of revolution.
The moderate Republicans in Washington DC need to take note. We are not going to tolerate your waffling actions any longer you will be voted out in the process. Perhaps some of our Democrat friends can take out the Socialist Democrats. I don’t want a socialist in Any part of our government. This is not a socialist country, and I do not want it to turn into one.

The 2010 and 2012 elections are probably the most important elections of my lifetime. I just pray that I am alive to vote in both of those elections.
My friend The Conservative Crawfish calls the politicians in Washington. Secular Socialists, I have to agree with him. Even the elected Republicans in Congress, with very few exceptions are Secular Socialists.

The Obama administration as the printing presses running 24/7 printing money, the value of the dollar is going through the floor.
Now they have the hubris to try to shove this unconstitutional monster of a health bill down our throats. We must take back Congress in 2010, and we need to take back both of them with big majorities, and for any of the liberal commenters that show up here from time to time and care to complain about me saying it’s unconstitutional. Bring proof, show me a line in the Constitution that grants Congress the right and power to force American people to buy anything. I’m not inclined to believe that Medicare and Medicaid are even legal. Much less welfare.
