VIDEO: How can the Veterans possibly trust Obama now?

It is shocking that Obama comes up with a line, in the first time he's spoken to the American people about the VA Hospitals scandal, that he had just heard about the problem! That wasn't all. It's like the WH staff has a form where they just check the boxes that apply, and bingo, Barry has the talking points coming right up on his teleprompter! Just stuff like, "There will be an investigation," "somebody will be held accountable," and, "golly, this is news to me!" Just the normal rhetoric! Rhetoric is far from actually taking action. Just sayin'...

Jimmy Kimmel Can’t Find Any Obamacare Takers ~ By Alicia Cohn

Kimmel also unveiled a new spoof about the “Obamacare-care” package visitors need in order to navigate HealthCare.gov. In the parody video, attempts to fix the difficult process only make it more impossible.

*    *    *    *

And let me ask this question: For those that have signed up (somehow successfully, if that is possible), are you satisfied with your new doctor? Are you getting better care now? Or, do you have to wait a few months to see a physician, even with an acute illness? How's it working out for you?

While I do believe that Kimmel's satire video was funny, this is not a funny situation for our country. And it is also sad, not funny, that people in the demographics of the needed people to sign up, didn't respond to Jimmy's question in a very affirmative way.

Now, let's ask another question: Will the public finally discover how bad this is going before the November 2014 Midterm election? We must hope so, and we must make some noise... Remember the Tea Party rallies and rowdy Town Hall meetings in 2010? That's what we will need to do again. Just sayin'...

Jimmy Kimmel Can’t Find Any Obamacare Takers

By Alicia Cohn

February 19, 2014 at 3:11 pm

From The Foundry blog on The Heritage Network

Jimmy Kimmel is getting a lot of comedy mileage out of the Obamacare rollout.

Every time a new Obamacare problem pops up, the late night talk show host has a new punchline.

Tuesday night, Kimmel asked his Hollywood audience if any had signed up for health insurance through HealthCare.gov. Not a single person raised his or her hand.

“Really?” he responded. “They claim that more than 3 million people have now signed up on HealthCare.gov’s website.”

The Liberal-Fascist Axis, Part 2 ~ By Ellis Washington

The following is a continuance of Ellis Washington's column, "The Liberal-Fascist Axis." Ellis continues he discussion about the relationships between liberalism and fascism.

Okay, so neither Ellis nor I, nor anyone else, like Glenn Beck... or you, have yet to be hauled away to detention camps... "Yet" is the key word. A couple of days ago (June 9), though, Glenn Beck gave us a warning when he asked, "Where does it end?" 

In the 1st segment of the show (you will see Part 1 of 3 in the video below), Glenn is explaining how just in the last week, things were getting very different. The President is going to go "kick someone's ass," and the Obama minions are beginning to want Obama to start changing things. Huh? I thought a lot of change has already been going on since this regime took power. So, what's there to worry about? I'd have to be crazy to think that anything more extreme could happen... But, as always, I'm just sayin'...

Epilogue

Slavery, abortion, Social Darwinism, eugenics and fascism make up the five-headed monster of modern times. Each head reveal the Nazi doctrine of Lebensunwertes Leben (life unworthy of life). In the modern era, these ideas and policies are directly responsible for the genocide of hundreds of millions of people.

American fascism is exhibited today in policies like: Obamacare, TARP, Obama's takeover of the banking and auto industries, exploiting the Gulf oil leak to destroy the oil industry through federal takeover while forcing Americans into unsustainable alternative energy uses, thus further decimating our economy.

Absent Christianity and Natural Law, Obama's revolutionary policies will only augment the ever-expanding socialist state under the Liberal-Fascist Axis.

Prologue

Slavery, abortion, Social Darwinism (evolution), eugenics, fascism (i.e., Nazism, communism, liberalism), are perhaps the five most diabolical and irredeemable ideas of the past 160 years; yet despite civil wars, world wars, social revolutions, civil-rights acts, Christian revivals and political reforms, this five-headed monster is still alive and thrives under the totalitarian cult of liberalism, now called "progressivism."

1. Slavery

Slavery has existed since the earliest annals of human history and has been practiced at some period by virtually every nation and tribe on earth. In America, it took a bloody Civil War to bring an end to this "peculiar institution" in 1865 and later by law via the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.

The Democratic Party proliferated and profited most from slavery, and yet because of liberal hegemony in the academy, courts, Congress, media and Hollywood, the virulently racist background and political madness of liberalism has been largely erased from the history books, and all sins forgiven. Why? Because the Democrats co-opted the black vote in the early1930s, and LBJ and got all the credit for passing the Civil Rights Act (1964, 1968) and the Voting Rights Act (1965).

2. Abortion

Abortion is the act of a woman causing the premature termination of her baby and pregnancy. Despite volumes written on abortion, few writers have made the unmistakable connection between the twin evils of abortion and slavery – such as, for every 1,000 black babies born in America, there are 472 unborn black babies aborted, or for every two black babies born, one black baby is aborted.

The NAACP and the civil-rights movement essentially support the genocide of their own race.

I made the existential connection between slavery and abortion in a Socratic dialogue:

Socrates: Indeed. You must first tell us why this day does America allow an average of 1.5 million abortions annually and 40-53 million abortions worldwide? Why have between 40-50 million abortions occurred in America alone since Roe v. Wade (1973)? This, in a country that in your own Declaration promised each of her citizens "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness?" Why, Mr. ACLU?

Attorney ACLU: {indignant} B-B-B-But, but, but, but abortions are an entirely different issue than slavery.

Socrates: I agree if by "different" you mean in the manner of execution. However, the public policy is the same: One person, the slave master with slavery and one woman/Supreme Court justice with abortion, has the legal authority to kill another human being, correct, Attorney ACLU?

3. Social Darwinism (evolution)

Social Darwinism understands that the laws of Darwinian evolution by natural selection are applicable to social structures and public policy. Despite the instant and worldwide cult following of evolution since the 1860s, Darwin was rightly skeptical and in a famous letter to Asa Gray Darwin shared his doubts about evolution, writing: "… I am quite conscious that my speculations run beyond the bounds of true science. ... It is a mere rag of an hypothesis with as many flaw[s] and holes as sound parts."

In his 1882 book, "Selection in Relation to Sex," Social Darwinism was his major thesis:

Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man … hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.

Who determines who lives and who dies? Progressives, of course.

4. Eugenics

"Eugenics is the study and practice of selective breeding applied to humans, with the aim of improving the species." Eugenics was founded by Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton. Margaret Sanger zealously propagated eugenics before becoming the founder of Planned Parenthood, one of the largest abortion providers in the world. Sanger's entire idea for eugenics (of which abortion is its logical consequence) was to bring genocide to the black race, which Sanger and many progressive intellectuals believed was by nature unworthy of full participation in civilization.

5. Fascism

Throughout history, liberalism, totalitarianism, terrorism, anarchy and fascism have been bedfellows – during the Age of Enlightenment (Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Jefferson), through its systemic corruption during the French Revolution (the Jacobins, Robespierre) and later during 19th-century German Romanticism (Schopenhauer, Wagner, Kaiser Wilhelm, Darwin, Nietzsche). The 20th century saw liberalism morph into the progressive movement and the modern welfare state (Lippmann, Croly, John Dewey, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Obama) where the apotheosis of the State has essentially replaced God, reason, constitutionalism and Natural Law.

The Dr. Zhivago Option ~ By Robert Ringer

I am going to start this one out a little differently today. I was 12 years old when I saw the movie, Dr. Zhivago, and I don't really remember much of the movie. I do have two distinct memories about it, though. One was that I had to sit by some old lady with horribly putrid perfume on, and had apparently used the whole bottle at once... Thank God there was an intermission so I could go out and get fresh air... I'll never forget that. It was an unfortunately memory I can't get out of my head. But the other memory was a good one. I loved the music!

Doctor Zhivago - Lara's Theme

Video provided by Muirmaiden

By the way, I remember now that I had bought the 45 record of this theme song.

I hadn't thought about this for awhile, but Robert reminded me that I have wanted to see Dr. Zhivago again someday. I am sure it will make a lot more sense to me now than it did when I was 12 years old. And now I really want to see it, being that what it is about to an extent parallels what this country could be going through someday soon. Just sayin'...

Worst of all, the Republican Party itself has a whole army of Viktor Komarovskys in its ranks, ready to support the Obamaviks at the drop of a vote. Names like Mitt Romney (the de facto architect of Obamacare), John McCain ("I was in favor of illegal immigration before I was against it."), Lindsey Graham (an unabashed hard-core progressive), Mike Huckabee (the slickest politician in America), Orrin Hatch (a deeply entrenched member of the go-along-to-get-along club) and Mitch McConnell (another deeply entrenched member of the same club) come quickly to mind.

These men have conclusively demonstrated that they are more than willing to support the progressives' notion of "social justice" if that's what it takes to get elected and re-elected. Their greatest threat comes from people with names like Bachmann, Ryan, DeMint, Rubio, and Paul & Paul.

Over the next five months, you can be sure that a lot of Republican blood will be spilled in the war between the Viktor Komarovskys of the Republican Party and those who refuse to go along with the business-as-usual Dr. Zhivago Option. And you can guess which side the socialists in the Democratic People's Party will be cheering for.

The other day, one of my son's friends, who had just come home from college for the summer, stopped over to say hello. We chatted briefly, and I asked him if he was still planning on becoming an entrepreneur/businessman after he graduated from school next spring.

To my surprise, he said that because of the economy, he had changed his mind about pursuing a business career. He told me that he now planned to apply for a job with the CIA. Surprised, I asked, "What in the world made you decide to go to work for the CIA?"

Without pause, he responded, "It's so tough to get a job nowadays that I figured I'd just go to work for the government, because there's much more security in a government job." I immediately thought to myself that standing right in front of me was a new Barack Obama voter!

It's simple: Get as many people as possible working for the government – which can always meet its payroll by taking money from entrepreneurs and small businesspeople who create private-sector jobs – and thereby assure winning a majority of votes in every election.

It reminded me of a conversation I had many years ago with a brilliant, ultra-pragmatic, narcissistic acquaintance who had a hugely successful economic consulting business. One day we were having a discussion about the United States' relentless move toward collectivism, and I asked him, "Given how you're addicted to the material things in life, what would you do if the United States ever became a full-fledged communist country?"

Without so much as a pause, he answered, in a matter-of-fact tone, "That wouldn't be a problem. I'd just become a member of the Communist Party and work my way into the inner circle." His response evoked a nervous chuckle from me, but the chuckle quickly faded as I realized he was deadly serious. His answer bothered me then, and it bothers me even more today.

The first thing that went through my mind after that conversation was the movie "Dr. Zhivago" and Rod Steiger's character, Viktor Komarovsky. Komarovsky was a member of Russia's elite class that dined on caviar and expensive vodka while the masses lived on the edge of starvation in abject poverty.

But when it became clear that the Bolshevik Revolution would succeed, Viktor Komarovsky simply cozied up to the revolutionary hierarchy and proclaimed himself to be a communist. He was well aware that revolutionary rhetoric was a fantasy, and that in every revolution, it's the toughest and wiliest thugs who emerge as the new royalty.

For the masses, of course, things stay pretty much the same, though under communism they usually end up even worse off than they were before the revolution (as was certainly the case in Russia following the Bolshevik Revolution).

Today, the Komarovsky mindset is a serious problem in the United States. I keep saying that Obama and Co. know they are going down to massive defeats if there are elections in 2010, but maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps I've underestimated their determination to get enough people on the government dole and government payroll to mathematically assure victory.

Did America Commit Obamacide?

Let me ask you a question: Am I way out of line to wonder if America voted for Obamacide of our freedom? You decide.

The most important thing to remember, too, is that we have to continue with PEACEFUL dissent and resistance. It would only take one nutcase that does something stupid, giving the government the excuse to crack down, and possibly suspend some of our rights, starting with the 1st and 2nd Amendments. We must focus on changing what has happened – at the ballot box.

Only if we realize and remember what is at stake – OUR LIBERTY – can we stay perseverant and resilient, and win in the end.

April 6, 2010

I meant to write here last week, but had several situations to deal with: 1) Computer problems, 2) Health issues, 3) Doing my taxes, and 4) filling out my Census form. I had no free days last week. But, I did have a whole lot of time to think about things while waiting for my computer to upload and install updates.

While I was able to eventually fix my computer problems by Wednesday, I then dealt with my health issues. Believe me, fibromyalgia can be a real pain. Maybe the “FM attack” came on the strongest when I did my tax “returns,” and found out that I wouldn’t get enough of a return to buy the new computer I desperately need. By the time I filled out my census form, I was contemplating just putting down “zero” for the number of residents in my household… I wasn’t sure if I’d survive, as bad as I was feeling.

There was a wonderful silver lining to my multiple obstacles last week. Though I wasn’t able to get a column written for BOA, I was finally able to accomplish a few other elements of my agenda. Once I had those computer problems resolved, the taxes done, and that census form sent in, I got into the intelligence gathering mode, and posted a few of the video segments that I caught onto my youtube channel… despite the pain I was in.

Last week didn’t start out well to begin with, considering that the President signed the health care bill on Tuesday. All I could think of was how bad the effects would be considering my budget. And because of that, it wouldn’t be that difficult for them to pass (ram through) something like cap and trade, which would raise our energy costs up. How could I afford that?

But it got worse this week. Not just for me, but for America. Yesterday, the New York Times reported that “Obama Limits When U.S. Would Use Nuclear Arms.” In my humble opinion, it seems that policy just sold our national defense down the river.

Okay, now I am sure you are wondering when I am going to get to the subject of this column. I’ll do that right now. First, though, you need to understand that the title to this is posed as a question. There’s a solid reason for that. I didn’t want to make it an affirmative statement, because I don’t have firm answer yet.

GOP's Boehner: Pelosi plans 'monthly abortion premium'

From WorldNetDaily

House minority leader says 2,032-page health-care takeover specifies payments Posted: November 05, 2009 ~ 12:01 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily U.S. House Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, is warning voters across America that the "government takeover of health care" pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., contains a "monthly abortion premium" for participants of a proposed government insurance company. The issue of abortion funding in the Democratic plan has been contentious, with many moderate Democrats who recognize their constituents oppose mandating taxpayer funding for abortion concerned about the underlying support for the industry in the proposals. Members of the GOP largely have opposed the health-care plan for a multitude of reasons, including abortion funding. Today on his House blog, Boehner said the plan sets up funding for abortion-industry leaders that could include Planned Parenthood. "Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions," Boehner wrote. "Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life – not end it." But, he said, line 17 of page 110 of Pelosi's 2,032-page plan specifically states, "Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed." [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]

Holdren: Sterilize welfare recipients

From WorldNetDaily

Obama boss suggested ways to save planet, said fetus not a person Posted: September 23, 2009 ~ 7:56 pm Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi © 2009 WorldNetDaily Obama science czar John Holdren stated in a college textbook that compulsory, government-mandated "green abortions" would be a constitutionally acceptable way to control population growth and prevent ecological disasters, including global warming, because a fetus was most likely not a "person" under the terms of the 14th Amendment. Holdren further suggested government-mandated population control measures might be inflicted in the United States against welfare recipients, writing on page 840: "There has been considerable talk in some quarters at times of forcibly suppressing reproduction among welfare recipients (perhaps by requiring the use of contraceptives or even by involuntary sterilizations). This may sadly foreshadow what our society might do if the human predicament gets out of hand." (Parenthesis in original text.) As previously reported, WND has obtained a copy of the 1970s college textbook "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment" that Holdren co-authored with Malthusian population alarmist Paul R. Ehrlich and Ehrlich's wife, Ann. The authors argued involuntary birth-control measures, including forced sterilization, may be necessary and morally acceptable under extreme conditions, such as widespread famine brought about by "climate change." Writing on page 839 of the textbook, the authors state: "The common law and drafters of the U.S. Constitution did not consider a fetus a human being. Feticide was not murder in common law because the fetus was not considered to be a human being, and for purposes of the Constitution a fetus is probably not a 'person' within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. Thus under the constitution, abortion is apparently not unlawful, although infanticide obviously is." [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]

Is Barack Hussein Bi-Polar?

For O, it's 'my way or the highway' ~ By David Limbaugh

From WorldNetDaily

By David Limbaugh Posted: September 11, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Can someone explain to me how President Barack Obama's grandiose scheme destined to reduce the quality of the best health-care system in the history of the world, force millions of people who choose not to purchase health insurance to purchase it, greatly increase medical costs, our deficits and national debt, ultimately reduce patient choice, and place health-care decisions in the hands of heartless bureaucrats is somehow a demonstration of compassion? Why, in the course of his countless speeches on health care, has Obama rarely, if ever, praised American health care, which is the envy of the entire world? Perhaps for the same reason he doesn't praise America about much of anything, I suppose. If he's not trashing us, he's not talking about us. So instead of lauding our record in leading the world in treating heart disease and cancer and extolling our medical research industry for producing more than half of the $175 billion of health-care technology products purchased globally, he complains: "We are the only advanced democracy on earth ... that allows such hardships for millions of its people. There are now more than 30 million American citizens who cannot get coverage. ... We spend one and a half times more per person on health care than any other country, but we aren't any healthier for it." As to his claimed number of uninsured, at least we're making progress. He's temporarily removed the illegal aliens to lower the number from 47 million to 30 million. But he's still lying to say 30 million "cannot get coverage." Again, 18 million of these make more than $50,000 a year and can afford health care but choose not to purchase it. And millions more have access to government programs and don't access them, which, incidentally, doesn't bode well for Obama's mandated universal coverage plan. These are Census Bureau figures of which Obama is well aware yet chooses to misrepresent, which is why it's hard to take him seriously when he complains about his opponents' alleged distortions.

Dirty secret No. 4 in Obamacare ~ By Chuck Norris

From WorldNetDaily

By Chuck Norris Posted: August 31, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Flying under the radar last week was a new government report that forecasts that the national debt will double over the next decade. The White House has projected a cumulative $9 trillion deficit between 2010 and 2019, while the Congressional Budget Office estimates a more optimistic $7.1 trillion based upon the expiration of Bush tax cuts. What this means is that Washington's out-of-control spending will likely turn the nation's already-staggering $11 trillion debt into an astronomical $20 trillion. But there are at least two ginormous expenses that are excluded in these projections. First, both projections from the White House and CBO incorporate their belief that the deficit will decline quickly over the next three years, as they assume less bailouts are needed and the economy rapidly grows. But isn't there also the real possibility that the economy will not recover as quickly as they hope? Every additional bailout or stimulus (large or small), and every margin of error in their three-year prospective climb-out of the economic pit, will inflate our nation's debt balloon even more. The second expense is far less speculative – and it has to do with about one-fourth of America. The 72 million baby boomers (people born in America from 1946 to 1964, excluding immigrants), the largest generation America has produced, are going into retirement over the next two decades and will face the golden years of declining health and rising medical costs. Under current law, if the government were to add the projected baby boomer costs of Medicare and Social Security to its debt tab, it would send deficit projections into the abyss. Here's the primary problem: Medicare is bankrupt. Medicaid is bankrupt. And Social Security is bankrupt. Though boomers have paid into these programs via their taxes for decades, there are not enough benefits to offer them, now and even less in the future. The problem is compounded when one understands that the number of people in the United States ages 65 and older is expected to double by 2030, and so is the amount expected to fund their retirement and health care in their twilight years, which relatively few are prepared to handle themselves. So what is the U.S. government to do, especially when it is already projected to have a $20 trillion dollar debt in 2019 (let alone what it will be in 2030)?

Town-hall clash! Arrest threat over Obama 'Joker' poster

From WorldNetDaily

Officer to protester: This ain't America no more Posted: August 28, 2009 ~ 10:57 pm Eastern By Drew Zahn © 2009 WorldNetDaily Editor's note: Earlier reports that Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. is a police officer were in error. Further investigation has revealed Officer Cheeks is a member of the Fairfax County Public Schools' trained School Security Officer team. To contact the school's security force, e-mail Fred Ellis, the director of safety and security for Fairfax County Public Schools, or Jim McLain, the security coordinator. This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health-care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after a security officer threatened him with arrest for holding up a sign with a picture critical of Barack Obama. The officer's response? "It ain't no more, OK?" A video of the town hall held earlier this week by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., shows an unnamed protester standing on school grounds carrying a sign that read "Organizing for National Socialist Health Care – The Final Solution" and depicted Barack Obama in the Joker's makeup. Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. then told the protester that even though others were holding signs, his sign was unacceptable because of the depiction of Obama. "But you got this with a picture," Cheeks said, explaining why the protester was being singled out from the others. "That's the difference. This has got a picture on it. That don't have a picture on it. "Sir, leave the picture down," the officer said. "If you put the picture back up, you'll be charged with trespassing." [CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING ENTIRE COLUMN]

Dirty secret No. 3 in Obamacare ~ By Chuck Norris

From WorldNetDaily By Chuck Norris Posted: August 24, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Ever heard the saying, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"? That's true for any of the 1,000+ page versions of Obamacare. Having informed you in previous columns of "Dirty secret No. 1" and "Dirty secret No. 2" in Obamacare, dirty secret No. 3 is the sin of omission. It's what the health care bill doesn't say that will bite you in the end. If you were writing 1,000+ pages on a subject, don't you think you'd have enough space to cover the essentials? But what if some of the issues were political hotbeds? And, if you were trying to sell the package, are there issues you'd intentionally leave out? If you were a Washington bureaucrat, I know you would! In 1,000+ pages, there's surprisingly sparse coverage or complete avoidance of a host of necessary issues. I would cite pages in the bill as I've done in my other articles, but there aren't any covering them. These are questions that need specific answers by the Obama administration as well each of our representatives. [READ ENTIRE COLUMN]

A faux messiah faces test of his life ~ By David Limbaugh

By David Limbaugh Posted: August 21, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 President Barack Obama has run into a brick wall: the American people, who cherish their liberty and revere their nation and do not want it remade in Obama's socialist image. Obama's free-falling poll numbers are not the result of a misinformation campaign from a small sliver of unruly conservative opponents, as the administration wants you to believe. They are a reflection of the public's reaction to Obama's policies and his own comprehensive misinformation campaign to dupe the people into believing America is unsalvageable without fundamental change. When Obama promised to bring fundamental change to America, most Americans, fortunately for him, did not take him literally. He offered them "hope" at a time when the economy was going south; political partisanship had reached new levels of acrimony, and people were weary of a protracted, albeit successful, war in Iraq. But most voters had no idea just how much change Obama had in mind. [READ ENTIRE COLUMN]

ObamaCare: The Whole Story 1000+ Pages ~ By Dr. Dave Janda

And here is another great one that my friend Jym Wells (_Jym on twitter.com) had on his blog, In God We'll Trust, that I was alerted to this morning:

OBAMACARE Written by Dr. Dave Janda I was given the opportunity to be the keynote speaker at a Congressional Dinner at The Capitol Building in Washington last Friday (7/17). The presentation was entitled Health Care Reform, The Power & Profit of Prevention, and I was gratified that it was well received. In preparation for the presentation, I read the latest version of “reform” as authored by The Obama Administration and supported by Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid. Here is the link to the 1,018 page document: Click Here Let me summarize just a few salient points of the above plan. First, however, it should be clear that the same warning notice must be placed on The ObamaCare Plan as on a pack of cigarettes: Consuming this product will be hazardous to your health.

Dirty secret No. 2 in Obamacare ~ By Chuck Norris

By Chuck Norris Posted: August 17, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 I've read on several blogs that if Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer, he should take care of universal health care. Cute. The real fact is that neither I nor Obamacare (in its present form in any of the 1,000+ page versions like H.R. 3200) can provide the remedy. In my last column I explained that dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is that the House bill grants government the authority to come into homes and usurp parental rights over child care development. I have a few more secrets to share over these hot August political nights. Dirty secret No. 2 in Obamacare is that Obama is not the leader of Obamacare. And neither is Congress. The one who has been spearheading the initiative behind the scenes is one who goes under the misnomer "adviser" to the Obama administration, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a bioethicist and breast oncologist and brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. And "his bible" for health care reform is his book, "Healthcare Guaranteed." Dr. Emanuel has served as special adviser to the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget for health policy as far back as February, when he confessed to the Washington bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times that he was "working on (the) health care reform effort." The first draft of Obamacare? [READ COMPLETE COLUMN ~ Digg Story]

Obamacare for old folks: Just 'cut your life short' ~ By Bob Unruh

Health plan provision demands 'end-of-life' counseling Posted: July 22, 2009 - 8:21 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily The version of President Obama's universal health care plan pending in the U.S. House would require "end-of-life" counseling for senior citizens, and the former lieutenant governor for the state of New York is warning people to "protect their parents" from the measure. At issue is section 1233 of the legislative proposal that deals with a government requirement for an "Advance Care Planning Consultation." Betsy McCaughey, the former New York state officer, told former president candidate Fred Thompson during an interview on his radio program the "consultation" is no more or less than an attempt to convince seniors to die. "One of the most shocking things is page 425, where the Congress would make it mandatory absolutely that every five years people in Medicare have a required counseling session," she said. "They will tell [them] how to end their life sooner." The proposal specifically calls for the consultation to recommend "palliative care and hospice" for seniors in their mandatory counseling sessions. Palliative care and hospice generally focus only on pain relief until death. [CONTINUE READING]

Captain of the USS Titanic: A modern parable ~ By Pat Boone

By Pat Boone Posted: July 11, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 He strode smartly along the gangway, from the dock to the towering main deck of the world's largest ship, the USS Titanic. A tall, lean brown man, garbed in a new Armani-designed uniform that made him look like the very symbol of naval elegance, he moved gracefully, head tilted slightly upward as if gazing toward a destiny not yet fully realized, but inevitable. As he reached the deck, he was piped aboard by an unprecedented full symphonic orchestra and the Gay Men's Chorus from San Francisco. Hundreds of crew and staff and junior officers lined the railings, standing at attention. The captain moved down the deck, reviewing those under his authority almost to the aft end of the ship — then, still saluting crisply, he reversed his direction without turning around, and moonwalked back up the line, past the gangway, and almost to the forward end of the deck! The crew cheered loudly; nothing like this had ever happened before. But everything about this man, this new captain of the world's largest ship, seemed unprecedented. Amazingly, he had never commanded any ship before! Unlike most big ship captains, he had never served in the military, spent any time at sea, never run a business or administered any for-profit organization. His actual preparation for this august position consisted of some community work in Chicago, a couple years as a state senator, a year or so as a U.S. senator — and this brief four years was spent mainly running for the next highest office, with little accomplishment at all to show. How this happened is the stuff of dreams, of fantasy. The huge Titanic had sailed before and was highly celebrated, but eventually fell into some disrepair and needed some serious overhauling. A consortium of extremely wealthy men decided to buy the ship, which they did with all cash. They laid plans to redo it completely, changing everything about it, and they looked about for a man to bring aboard as captain who would look and act like a movie version of a ship commander, but who most importantly would scrupulously do whatever they told him to do. In effect, they wanted a handsome puppet, and they found him. What they hadn't counted on, however, was that once selected and put in authority, he wouldn't be so easy to control. His new power was intoxicating, and he began to use it according to his own whim. So now, the captain dismissed the crew and sent them to their positions, with orders to start the engines and prepare to raise anchor. He called his junior officers to join him on the command deck for last questions and directions. Once arrayed in front of him, his second-in-command Lt. Blighden frantically raised his hand, and the captain nodded in his direction. "Sir ... uh, excuse me ... captain, may I ask why you ordered that all our most exclusive and expensive staterooms be assigned to rank-and-file union members with their leaders, at no cost – and that the CEOs and top executives of all the companies who manufactured every part of this great ship and made it seaworthy be assigned to steerage, the lowest and most cramped part of the ship? Isn't this backwards?" The captain glared at him. "Mr. Blighden, those union members were some of my staunchest supporters when I was considered for this position. Without them, I wouldn't be here. I've not only ordered that they occupy those staterooms as long as they choose, but that they can charge all their food and expenses to the ship! You'd do well to leave decisions to me. By the way, why are you wearing that life jacket?" "Oh, this, sir ... I mean captain?" the first officer stammered. "Just force of habit, I guess; over the years I've never known how, or when or which way I'd have to jump, depending on wind directions and data and all, so I just try to stay ready. Sorry."
