An e-mail I sent to a friend...
I sent this to a friend - who I shall keep nameless unless they want to speak up - about Obamacare. While not fully fleshed out, this and other postings will illuminate my opposition to this horrific piece of legislative excrement.
While I agree that if EVERYONE had insurance, it would be better, Obamacare isn't the way to get there.
Here are two articles that came up today:
http://news.investors.com/article/619306/201207250802/obamacare-could-add-to-uninsured.htm?p=full
Important paragraphs:
BUT, the IRS specifically can not use classic IRS collection techniques - thus you can flaunt the law up to the point that you are crippled, then get coverage... without penalty! So, this law is screwed up from the get-go.Studies consistently predict that around four million people will lose workplace coverage as a result of ObamaCare, despite the fines imposed on businesses that don't offer insurance. But the most recent analysis from the Congressional Budget Office says the number could be as high as 20 million.And a study out this week by Deloitte finds that almost one in 10 businesses expect to drop coverage, with another 10% saying they weren't sure. A 2011 McKinsey & Co. surveyfound that 30% of companies "definitely or probably" would drop health benefits under ObamaCare.
Also, the effect on individual practitioners (like you would go to, Kaiser works diffrently) can be horrific.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/20/doc-says-physicians-have-reached-a-tipping-point-video/
He fears medicine will morph from a profession advocating for patients into a trade association advocating for physicians, and he proposes market-based solutions.
There are solutions to the problem, but no one is brave enough to propose them... My solution? Deregulation! No, you don't have to take everyone into your hospital... NO, you shouldn't have to birth a child for free... NO, companies shouldn't pay for insurance (this is a leftover from WWII price and wage freezes).
Yea, I am a bit of a crank on this.

Mr. Obama needs to get out...
...he needs to see the real suffering Americans are enduring with him in office.
jc
Obama by the numbers
Great graphic on the Bamster...
Click to make it bigger.
He has, despite his rhetoric, failed in what he "set out to do". I put that in quotes, because I think he is doing pretty much what he wanted to do - create crisis after crisis to expand their power to the point of simply keeping things in constant turmoil.
Big Problem? I CAN FIX IT (just give me these temporary powers so I can do it quickly)!
Never been a conspiratorial kind of guy, but this is obvious to me.

A low point in our political history, this video makes fun of it...
Every one in that room should be run out of town.

Tax time is comming...
While I have had some challenges with the tax man lately, this little vid I got from Instapundit via Skippy lightened me up.
Uggg, I gotta start Turbo Tax up again.

More embarrassing behavior
BHO bows to the Emperor of Japan...
This is the "best and brightest" in office?
I hang my head in shame.
jc
The dam has broken...
OK, BHO gets the Nobel this morning.
What. The. F*#%.
BHO was in office for 11 days when he was nominated and voted the honor. That is 264 hours.
Again: What. The. F*#%.
Since he was nominated this is what he has actually accomplished:
- Divided the nation along racial, economic, class, political and just about any other line there is. Riots? Soon.
- Halted the growth of the economy (did I mention how many commercial properties are vacant locally?). Obamavilles? Soon.
- Increased the debt to levels that are absolutely mind boggling. Taxed up the wazoo? Soon (if not now).
- Started the long and painful retreat from our engagement from the middle east. We are still reaping the bitter cop of failure from our disengagement in South East Asia. Killing fields in Iraq and Afghanistan? Soon.
- Tanked, and utter gutting of the U.S. dollar. Hyper inflation? Soon.
- Trashed our standing in the eyes of our allies. Poland under the Russian boot? Soon.
- Nationalizing the health care system and working to change a center right nation to a left leaning nation that is permanently dependent on the state for bread and circuses. Currently in process -- Sooner than later.
While I try to not sound like a raving loon, Obama is so far left, that even some of his "independent" supporters must be scandalized at some point. Kids singing his praises in class and on TV, constant cooing from the press, and absolutely fawning of world "leaders" like Kadafi-Chavez-Akmadinizad all add up to a picture of a personality cult larger than Stalin's.
These are the things he has accomplished. What is to come? Nationalized industries. Gun bans. Ammo bans. Culture wars. Class wars. Just waiting for the next "crisis" for him to exploit to his advantage.
What amazes me is that he (and the Congress he rode in on) haven't actually done much. They have the votes. Just do it. Perhaps it is because they know that they are so far out that they may actually fear the center right nation that they now run. Thank God.
Gotta go rant at the yard for growing too much last night...
jc
This about sums it up...
Why oppose Obama? This illustrate it quite well...
I think that the chart is actually too nice on the deficits.
As Margret Thatcher said, they over reach -- they always do.

BHO continues to march after the money
Well, I told ya so!
BHO will control the money, and the policy, while claiming that it is "for the good".
Man, this guy is un-fricken-believable!
Gotta hide now...

How the Intellecualoids will take over the world...
In an article about "How Sex sells the loss of freedom", there is a great line that applies to much of what is happening.
If I want to plant petunias in the yard, is it OK, or do I have to go with drought tolerant plantings? If I want a black car, will it be allowed in California? I want my wife to make her famous chocolate chip cookies, will we be taxed extra for making "fat food"? Never mind that I already have to separate my garbage, select from a paltry selection of tiny unsafe vehicles, buy paint that is safe for the environment (but fails after 3-4 years), select only "energy star" products that simply don't do the job for a family of 4.
The intelectualoids are located in dense, large cities. Typically they are childless, or at most, one child family s. To them, a large vehicle (mini van or SUV) is impractical. They take the train or bus to work. They have appartments that need little maintenence. The closest they get to a Home Depot is to get mercury infused twisty lightbubs. Meanwhile, in "flyover country", a family of four or five squeeze into a small, unsafe vehicle, try to maintain a house with inferior products, and suffer at the hands of the "save the earth" idiots that have (and will never) get out and actually do something.
Leftism as an ideology exists to provide a mechanism for advancing the economic interest and social status of articulate intellectuals. As an ideology leftism seeks to restrict the freedoms, especially the economic freedoms, of everyone who doesn’t work as an articulate intellectual, while at the same time maximizing the freedom of articulate intellectuals.There is another bit, something that I have noticed...
Most people forget that fascists, communists and the lesser tyrannies of the 20th Century did not initially rise to power as violent, mass-murdering police states. Instead, they began with economic control. They first controlled people’s access to material necessities: to jobs, to housing, to medical care, to education, etc. Only when they could control people’s material environment did they obtain the power to unleash the police state.It concludes with this:
As you go through your day-to-day life, watch all the decisions that you make that influence your total quality of life. Each time you make such a decision, ask yourself if a leftist would let you make that decision if they had the power to stop you. Would they let you have your house, your job, your car, your food, your random stuff? Would they let you run your own business? Would they protect your right to free speech if they disagreed with you? Would they let you educate your children as you see fit? Would they let you have input on your minor children’s reproductive choices?

Facist takover of private property
These supporters of Obama (and Obama worked with them) from ACORN have thrown out the rule of law, and confiscated private property.
It is on tape, but they will not be prosecuted. That would be racist.
Tell me, why the hell does my tax money go to these fascist anyway?

Yep, I'm hacked...
Since I can't trust the GOP to stop the pile of crap "(government) stimulus bill" in the Senate, and I can't trust the California GOP from increasing taxes, I am seriously thinking of changing my party affiliation.
This comes as a disappointment to me, as I can remember that I sided with Ford when I was in the 5th grade, dogged my history teacher in the 7th (he was a draft dodger), and created a name for myself throughout college as a conservative Republican.
But when the media voted for McCain, and worshiped "The One" into office, and the respectful Republicans rolled over (as they were told to do by everyone in the beltway), they betrayed my trust.
My concern is that we have entered a brave new world of "the third way". This is the way of the fascist of Europe, Mussolini, Franco, and yes, that other guy. The world of government owning or "partnering" with publicly held companies to work together for the good of all. Decisions are not made in the board room, but out in public. Labor unions are encouraged, so that the workers have a voice in the means of production. The public health is taken care of by the state in an efficient manner.
All things are political because the state is all things.
What does this mean for me? Move out of state? Move out of the country? Nah, just hunker down, buy ammo, and prepare for the inevitable stagflation, increase in crime, and social unrest. Thanks for uniting us, our saviour Obama.

I Like Etta James
- Etta James sings wonderfully.
- She doesn't like Obama.
- She sings wonderfully.
Etta James is not happy with President Barrack Obama or Beyonce. Apparently, at a recent show, the singer showed her anger while introducing her hit, At Last, the song that Obama asked Beyonce to sing during his first dance as President. Etta made a point to let the audience know that Obama was “not her President.” Burn…Etta told the audience, “You know, YOUR President, the one with the big ears-he ain’t my President?”had that woman singing for him at his Inauguration. She’s going to get her ass whooped. How dare Beyonce sing MY song that I been singing forever. Now I’m going to sing it for y’all….??
Did I mention that she sings wonderfully?

Crime of Hope and Change...
The Obama brown shirts are out, and --gosh-- how much do you want to bet that no one will be charged with a crime. If this were a racially reversed situation, all hell would have broken out. This looks a lot like typical Chicago thuggery.
Perhaps they were some of Obama's volunteers.
Of course, it also happens in California
Feel the love...

"One approached me and got in my face and called me racist because I had the pin on. That really ticked me off, but I kind of left it alone because she was so much bigger than I am," said Grossmann. She is 5 feet 2 and weighs 120 pounds, and played boys high school hockey in Alaska. "The girls in the background were just a little bigger than me. They were mocking me from the sidelines."
Perhaps they were some of Obama's volunteers.

Mandatory Virtue (resistance is futile) -- Updated
Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.
If you don't serve, they may put a blue plastic bag over your head.
This kind of conscription was popular with the old soviet empire. Mao did it too. While leftists may think that it is "voluntary", what if you want to volunteer as a Minuteman on the boarder? A pro life clinic (one that doesn't abort babies)? No way.
How about a abortion clinic in a Latino area? Absolutely.
This is the thing that I fear, is required virtue.

NOTE: Click on the blue underlined text for more information.
UPDATE: They changed the wording and removed the word "required". Obama has a history of changing his history to fit the times... Just like the USSR.
