Time for Action

March 28, 2010 in A Fight For Our Culture, What can you do? by cvlambson

Can’t you hear the following conversation? “Christopher, what are you crazy? You can’t go West to India, you’ll like, fall off the edge of the earth.”
“Oh contrare, Phillipe, the world is round, so if I go West I will eventually end up in the East, get it?”
“Chris, Chris , Chris, you gotta quit smoking that special tobacco you found on your last expedition. I think you have gone a bit loco. Get some help for these delusions brother.  Or the queen will end up drawing and quartering you for spending her money and getting no results.”
“Thanks for your concern Phillipe, But scientists tell me that the world really is round, and that we aren’t the center of the universe like we thought for so many generations.”
“I ‘m Telling you Christopher, My cousin, Vinny Enrike Jesus Calderon, told me that when he got near the edge of the world, this giant sea monster came up and looked him straight in the eye and spoke to him and warned him to go back or fall into the abyss. I don’t know why a mean sea monster would try to save him, but that’s what he told me, and why wouldn’t I believe my own cousin,  Vinny Enrike Jesus Calderon, eh, Christopher?”

Does that sound like some of the conversations you have been in? Or worse, does that sound like the mail bovine feces you hear from our politicians, as they explain to us the fantasy they have created that they call Healthcare Reform.

Obama gets on the stand yesterday and talks about how, finally, the Insurance companies are no longer going to treat the poor, sick and disadvantaged the way they have, and how big brother is going to curb the excessive profits of these evil insurance companies by limiting % of profit. Explain to me then, why the jump in the stock prices of the Insurance companies since the bill passed. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

IT’S BECAUSE EVERYONE  IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET INSURANCE. DUH! You gave the insurance companies everything they wanted, new customers, and higher premium rates because of the influx of  30 million citizens into the system, while 46% percent of doctors are saying, I’m outta here. Can you say law of supply and demand?

Fifty plus speeches to campaign for healthcare reform, and he’s still out there doing it. Doesn’t he have work to do as president?

He has issued the challenge to you as thinking Americans. That’s you right? Or are you part of the 70+% Democrats who did not know who Harry Reid was? If you are,  . . .  They probably aren’t reading this so I don’t have to tell you, But the rest of you, WAKE UP!!!, Your country is under siege by a Saul Alinskey style Radical. If you don’t know who Saul Alinskey is, here’s a link: http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/communism/alinsky.htm

And you thought your education was over. Sorry, It’s the price of sustained freedom. Benjamin Franklin, while leaving a meeting, where the framework of the republic was created, was asked by a lady there, “Mr. Franklin, What have you done? He responded, “given you a republic, ma’am, if you can keep it.”

And thus as my father says, “The struggle for freedom must be fought anew in every generation.” The frightening thing is, this time the radicals have passed legislation which will give them precedent to monitor and dictate in every facet of your life from pre-birth to grave. Will you remain passive, apathetic, lazy?

The writing is on the wall, We like civilizations before us do not see the possibility of our own fall. We are like the citizens Orwell showed us in War of the Worlds, too Arrogant to think that anything can happen to us. As Obama tells us, Rich is bad,  Poor is helpless,  eerily similar to: two legs. “good” four legs, “bad”, from Animal Farm, The nation moves one step closer to the Marxist Praxis http://www.discernment-ministries.org/TheAspenPaper.pdf

So, join me for the salvation of humanity’s sake. Abraham Lincoln said, and I paraphrase,

That which we believe strongly and do nothing about, makes cowards of us all!!!

Be not a coward.

Stand strong against the shrillness of the adversaries of Democracy, And with God’s help, we will yet keep our republic.

Healthcare: NO REALITY PLEASE!!!

March 23, 2010 in A Fight For Our Culture by cvlambson

healthcare: NO REALITY PLEASE!!! Posted 3/23/2010 3:44 PM CDT on Des Moines Register

As I read a comment last night on this blog and agonized about the passing of the senate bill by the house, I contemplated why facts don’t matter to liberals. The comment sarcastically stated that it must be my first time on CSPAN, and that was why the facts being dispersed were affecting my decision about supporting healthcare or not.

It was stated by the CBO that the healthcare bill would save 120 billion, or so, dollars over the next ten years. Nobody has mentioned that we are going to pay the taxes on it for four years to get ahead of the cost of the full ten years. That’s right we are going to pay for ten years worth of the plan and get 6 years worth of the services. That doesn’t sound at all like skewing the numbers to make it look good, does it?

I asked myself when the info came out abut the plan, How could that be, that you force 560, or so, billion dollars of taxes on to the American public, insure 30 million new people, create 120 new bureaucracies, over 17000 new IRS employees and call the plan a deficit reducer. Not to mention the fact that 46% of doctors polled will either leave, or would if they could leave, the profession should this pass. Nah, there must be some mistake.

Simple economics says that 30 million new people to treat, with fewer doctors and nurses will probably cause the price of the service to rise, unless, that is, that big brother Sam plans on forcing people into the profession. Let’s also mention that that hundreds of billions of increase in taxes will come from the people that create jobs in America the evil rich who make over 200,000 a year. I am sure that, out of the goodness of their hearts, they are going to take a pay cut just so they can hire some poor slob, in order to give him or her a job. I am sure they will

Another little tidbit that the deranged left doesn’t want to think about: in the CBO numbers, I think it was 71 billion of the funds to make this work are going to come out of the Social Security Fund. Now, there’s a great idea. Wasn’t that good ole Social Security Fund hurting for money, wasn’t that what everybody has been fussing about for years. Nah, we shouldn’t worry about that.

But don’t you doctors worry, we are going to increase the amount you get so that more of you will want to buy into the system and serve those on the dole. You watch, when costs start to skyrocket because businesses can’t afford the increases to premiums caused by preexistent conditions etc. the first thing that’s going to get cut is those greedy old doctors. Can’t you see the legislators pining, “ those mean old doctors refuse to serve the poor, so we are going to make them take the reimbursements they no longer will have a choice to opt into the program or not. They really wouldn’t do that, would they?

The same kind of numbers that proved wrong when Medicaid was born will prove again to be unrealistic. I hope that it wont be as bad as the seven times the original planned, quoted, and promised cost of Medicaid. If it turns out that it’s not any better, you are looking at a cost of over seven trillion a year to run this.  That’s 7,000,000,000,000 a year, over half of the current GDP. Did I get the right number of zeros?

After  my pity party of sarcasm, I recognized the reason why the left leaves out the facts:

Life really is more enjoyable if I live in a world colored only by the taint of emotion. One neither has to think to hard nor delve to deep into the root of a problem one only has to rise on wings of hope to nimbly land on the mount of change and thus rise above the rabble swirling around in the chaos of the world trying to understand what makes it all tick.

Was that satire? I think it was.

A little more ominous tone, shall we?

To a progressive/liberal/socialist/Marxist/Leninist, The numbers mean nothing!!! It’s all about making sure that their consciences are soothed concerning making sure everybody has a place to sleep and food to eat and care when they are sick. Check on the percentage of income given by the evil conservatives to charity and you will see that they give far, far higher percentage of their income than do liberals, from the lowest earner to the highest.

YOU ARE A RUSE, A FAKE, AND A WHITED SEPULCHER STINKING FROM WITHIN.  SADLY YOU WILL HEAR, DEPART I NEVER NEW YOU BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTOOD NOT THE SAYING, FEED A MAN A FISH AND YOU FEED HIM FOR A DAY TEACH A MAN TO FISH AND YOU FEED HIM FOR A LIFETIME.

Truly, liberalism is a mental disorder. There is no other way to explain the total irresponsibility they have shown for their stewardship over the constitution and the resources of the American people.

What’s up next for them, they’ve got to get amnesty passed so they can get 30 million more voters to vote for them come November.

But, let’s celebrate. Like Pelosi said this has been coming on since good ole Teddy pushed for it a century or so ago. The progressives have won this round, another straw placed on the camel’s back. Let’s pray the coming judicial fight will be before a conservative member of the court retires or mysteriously dies.Did I say that? They wouldn’t, would they?

Healthcare on CSPAN: an Education.

March 23, 2010 in A Fight For Our Culture by cvlambson

Posted 3/21/2010 2:15 PM CDT on Des Moines Register

Watching CSPAN just now, you saw the stark differences between the Dems And the Repubs. The Representative from Wisconsin showed us charts from the CBO illustrating the consequences to our debt of the healthcare proposals with all the accounting trickery being used to hide the numbers of the health bill. He talked about the new 17000+ IRS jobs needed to run the plan. He mentioned the new agencies that will be set up to manage health care and asked the question, “How will they pay for it?”. The answer to that is, the way Dems always do: raise taxes and, in this case, the boards to be setup to manage the care, will begin to ration care. This will enable them to compensate for the skewed numbers they gave the CBO.

ON other other side of the aisle, the representative from New York, the infamous Madam Slaughter. yielded to the son of Ted Kennedy, to give a speech about the legacy, albeit tarnished by his perversions, of the Father of universal Healthcare . Would you be surprised if I told you they gave no statistics, only appealed to the emotions, kinda like a campaign speech, empty?

Boy you could feel the hope and change rise as they called this legislation the New Civil Rights Act and almost seemed to call on the voice of MLK to lend his spirit to the proceedings.

I think I am going to vomit. It’s like, maybe you have been there, you are totally broke and yet you pull out the credit card to go to a fancy restaurant and you feel so good about the romantic time you’re having with your dear wifey and then you get up to pay and the credit card is declined.

That is what a fictitious fantasy the Dems are perpetrating on us. God help us!

Restore America: Let the Struggle Begin

March 23, 2010 in A Fight For Our Culture by cvlambson

Posted 3/21/2010 9:10 AM CDT on Des Moines Register

Whether or not they pass this legislation today, I predict there will be a grass roots movement like you’ve never seen in this country to put some sanity into the insane power hungry establishment we call the federal government. We have watched both the Republicans and the Democrats wheel, deal, and steal their way into a career of power and then fall prey to corruption. The following is a beginning to the change that needs to occur. And you Republicans better hope and pray that your records will keep you in office, cause we are angry at all of you for the damage you have done to the constitution with your interpretations that satisfy your lust for power.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and get back to work

1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below. A. Two Six year Senate terms B. Six Two year House terms C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms

2. No Tenure / No Pension: A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security: All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.

4. Congress can create their own retirement plan just like the rest of us.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11 .

9. To be continued…

The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.


Here’s is a letter I received that about sums it up:
Dear Friends,I am including below a one page letter attached with an eletter that has been circulating, that I personally sent to both Utah State Senators and both Utah State Congressmen. I want to share my point of view with you. You don’t have to read it, I don’t wish to coerce, offend or anger anyone with any of the emails I send out. I merely share things that I value of great importance and or educational. I don’t send or forward them to get anyone to agree with me, but merely as information for one to choose to read or not to read and disseminate as you see fit.

I have discovered that truth & knowledge is power. We live in a most amazing time, to have access to unbelievable amounts of information at our fingertips. We have to use caution when we send out any old information, and I regret that I have done this as well, naively believing it’s coming from someone telling the truth, so I have tried to be careful to check the information I forward as well, but even then some of it I find later isn’t(viable). If I sent it, it was not meant for you to take as bible, merely information to contemplate and think about, and maybe even inspire to educate yourselves further. It’s healthy for us as Americans to have our own opinions and to be able to voice and share them with others. It has been through open opinions of my friends and family that has helped me become a better person, and inspired me to educate myself, and share with, warn & help educate my friends, family and neighbors. So I send this to share, do with it what you may. Much care & Love to you all,

March 18, 2010

Dear Honorable Senators Orrin Hatch & Bob Bennett, Congressmen Jim Mattheson & Jason Chaffetz,

I am writing to encourage you to continue in opposing Obama’s Health Care Bill. I write personally as a concerned citizen regarding the effects a mega-convoluted bureaucratic abolition to our liberty this will have on America if passed. When will the politicians of our Country who are supposed to protect our rights not by passing more ludicrous and facetious laws see that the government was never meant to Legislate decency, nor can it! Decency comes from morality and principle. And it will never be a part of freedom and liberty to make decency a law. I hope you understand what I’m trying to tell you, because this is the crux of all of the problems with all of the issues that our politicians are trying to legislate and pass into law.

As for the health care bill, I have experienced being the poor, the weary, and the needy without health insurance. I have also experienced Medicaid & Medicare. I would choose irrevocably to not have health insurance over being given Medicaid, Medicare or forced (government mandated) insurance. In the past, I learned that not even the Doctors will care for my health (and children’s health) as I will. I am responsible to care for this, not a Doctor, nurse, or health care provider that I see once or twice a year, some once in a lifetime. My health welfare (and my children’s health welfare) is MY responsibility to provide or MY responsibility to seek help from individuals and resources that are not government sanctioned and mandated to help me. Government sanctioned services is a worthless black hole of our tax money that offer only oppression to a human being. I now realize from past experience through wisdom, that we as a people have got to quit looking to someone for a hand up, a hand out or a free ride. This type of mind set instills oppression. Our health is our own to own.

The best scenario for government would be to take their hands out and off of businesses (personal & groups). The only thing that government should be passing is laws to be enforced when these individuals or entities violate someone’s rights, and freedoms, through a justice system, the way the founders intended the process to continue. Not with more laws that oppress and violate our inalienable right.

However I am saddened to think that too much has already been happening for decades for any of this to change back to what the Founders intended. So I am just asking you to consider, contemplate with an open mind that no one in politics (including yourself) really understands the American underserved – we the people. Government is happy to enforce us to acknowledge an illegal Alien’s rights, in a country they do not have to legally become a citizen. Government, Politicians, the wealthiest Elitists have forgotten and do not know we the regular (mass), the citizens, we the people that have fought, forged, and served here all our lives! We have made America flourish through our blood, sweat and tears. We are the ones who have impressed upon and taught our children morals, values, responsibilities and principles along with the importance of serving our neighbors, friends, strangers and many times our enemies. Past & future laws requiring us to lose our individual rights; such as forcing companies and entities to provide us health insurance, making us take these benefits and making us pay for someone else’s health care will not make America or American’s better but will only oppress more. If this is what you’ve aspired to do, then I would say, “good job”.

I say again, you will never be able to Legislate decency no matter how much you try; you will only be bringing us to our knees.

Please do not give in to adopting ANY health care plan through government, in fact I CHALLENGE you to have the integrity to look into the behavioral effects that this type of mind set will continue to procreate. What I presented here is nothing new and has plenty of past and current history to back it up. Please do not continue to propagate the adapted skewed mind set of being taken care of by government.

We as an individual need to serve the underserved, choosing to do so with principle and care, we can and, when left top ourselves, do it now. But when forced (taxes, etc.) to serve is mandated, it leads and has lead to resentment, elitism, pride, prejudice and ridicule. I just keep hoping and praying that a political leader will finally wake up and take a stand for these principles and truths.

Could that person be you?!!!!

There are many groups amassing, Find one that fits your personality. And join the fight to restore America and its greatness.

Healthcare Propaganda: Back at ya

March 23, 2010 in A Fight For Our Culture by cvlambson

Posted 3/20/2010 9:59 AM CDT on Des Moines RegisterYou have seen the President and other legislators this week trot out citizens of the United states and use their story to pull at the heart strings of the compassionate American citizen. Their stories, though difficult, are made ineffective when we find that they are, on most facts, a lie.
Take Mrs Canfield that Harry Reid used as his prop to tout the healthcare takeover. Turns out, she is getting the help she needs. In fact, is in the hospital and eligible for help and will receive it. In all the stories we have heard this week, there was part of the story the president or other salesmen left out in order to mislead the American People. My father always said that “any word gesture body language intonation or other method used with the intent to deceive, is a lie. And yes, America, Your President lied this week. Just like he lied in his speech before congress when he was told so by_a fearless Congressman.
MY POINT IS THIS; in the UK this week we learn that the Panel that oversees the reception of care in the UK, NICE, refused to authorize for drugs that research shows would have saved the lives of thousands

“The decision fuels controversy about the way NICE rations treatment on the state health service in England and Wales, denying patients access to costly modern medicines that are used routinely in many countries, notably the United States”. The panel spokesman pointed out the problem with a healthcare system that has the government involved, “NICE argues it has to make tough choices when deciding which drugs should be paid for and which not” Here’s the link http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL765842520080807.
These are parts of another article form the UK:

“We don’t know that he will die. He might do, he might not, but we feel that’s not the doctor’s decision to do that.”

Mr Troake, a former accountant and Second World War veteran, was admitted to the hospital in June after suffering a stroke.

Although Mrs Munkenbeck admits her father is “confused”, she argues that is because of the drugs the hospital have given him.
“I just want him protected. He’s looking at us and talking to us. He’s not suffering from a terminal illness, he just had a stroke. We just feel they decided from the beginning that he’s 95 so they’ve written him off.”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/6156076/Daughter-claims-father-wrongly-placed-on-controversial-NHS-end-of-life-scheme.html


They can say what they want about how great your care is going to be, but the reality is when the government has to cut costs in your healthcare program when it skyrockets, they will cut care. They will have no choice.


So, I call your sob story and raise you thousands
Are you gonna see that bet and let the American people win the hand, or are you gonna go down with the ship that is a socialistic coup of the free enterprise healthcare system.
Let’s see your hand.
You don’t have any idea the rage that is brewing in the hearts of the American people against the blatant disregard for the will of the people by Congress on this issue. And, if you attempt the trick of voting for the senate bill without actually voting on the bill. As is being kicked around by the Democratic leadership, you haven’t seen anything as far as approval ratings for congress.

You better let the American people go back to sleep before the midterms or you may see an overthrow of the powers that be of historic proportion.
Look for a moment at what this administration is doing to Usurp Or circumnavigate the political system. Set up for our nation by its founders. On every issue, the Obama Administration has been blocked by the will of the people; yet, they continue on with their desires and push their agenda by going around the system, cheating, as it were, disregarding the balance of power to do exactly what they want, totally disregarding the will of “the people”
These leaders of the democratic party are the suicide bombers of the progressive ideology. Now is the time the progressives and/or liberals and/or neoMarxists, and/or Socialists, are all hell bent on the takeover of the capitalism of the nation. They have decided that it is now, that they will move to take this step in the disintegration of the Democratic Republic that we know and love.
We will not be the same nation if it passes. I hope this gives you enough. Info to feel the need to stand up and fight this with your calls and emails and visits. We can’t just gripe about it on Face book and expect to wake up Monday morning and have it not passed. We must make a huge effort to fight for our freedom.

Healthcare Takeover: Why Obama and His ilk Want it

March 23, 2010 in A Fight For Our Culture by cvlambson

Posted 3/15/2010 11:16 AM CDT on Des Moines Register

Healthcare: why Obama and His Ilk Want it
This week is the week the America, as we know it, fades into history or the new :”hope and change” America slithers from the underbelly. If you want to know why this is happening, you have to no the motivations of the perpetrators. To the Obamaites, It’s about the sins of America and its evil machinations in the world. Reference the card carrying socialists in his administration, the associations with his Black Liberation Theologist preacher Wright, etc., etc., etc.
You do not know this man you have elected president of the US.
Saul Alinskey‘s writing may be a good place for you to start if you want to know what being a community organizer is all about. Don’t just read the first few pages. He paints a lovely picture of his crusade. But by the end you will be able to see the links to the dark side of collectivism. Those of you who do not want to see America become a European style socialistic state, those of you who are not neo-Marxists, need to find out the motivations behind the ideology of President Obama. In those motivations you will see the necessity of taking over the health care of the country.

Through this takeover, the progressives will achieve a monumental victory. With the law in place, they then can dictate to every facet of you life: what you eat and drink, what risks you take as an individual, whether or not you should receive needed care.

If the costs begin to rise, as you saw in the example yesterday in Tennessee, ask yourself what will they do? They, being stewards of the money, will find it necessary to limit services, or implement other guidelines to cut costs. How does business cut costs?

Will doctors want to be doctors if they are told how much they can make? How hard will a doctor work to be the best if there is no motivation , Monetarily, to be the best. Yes there will be some that wont care about the money, granted.

You are about to add millions to pool of insured. Where will the doctors come from to take care of them? When insurance prices rise like other places that have tried it, how likely will it be that the businesses will bail on their insurance in order to cut costs to be competitive; my company has insurance, my competitor doesn’t-why, if the opportunity arises like the public option, would I as a company not drop my insurance? I will better be able to compete.

In a government run enterprise, moral suffers, there is no incentive to excel, you have a job; they pay you for it; you; you come back the next day. Barring any disastrous screw up, you keep your job forever.
Ponder if you would the following definitions and the policies of many of our politicians , both right and left. You cannot help but see that we are implementing policy that moves us closer to Socialism. This is not an over used word like liberal and conservative; this is the real scary deal that the people have faced for centuries when well intentioned people felt the need to implement laws to create Utopia.

You have been told your whole life that Utopia exists. It doesn’t. We live in a carnal world hell-bent on satisfying the wants of the body, greed and avarice. Our Utopia is found in the homes we create, the love we extend to our neighbors, the unfettered kindness we show to them.
Government was meant to keep us from killing each other and stealing each others stuff. Not to make everything perfect. We create our own lives and our own happiness. The government can’t. Every time it tries it ends up subjecting the populace to overbearing law and stifles the flame of freedom until it goes out, and we lie prostrate on the ground in front of the towering entity we went to in order save us from oursleves.

Here are some definitions and references you can read, if you want to help put the puzzle pieces of what is going on together:

Socialism definition from dictionary.com: a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.

Marxism: the system of economic and political thought developed by Karl Marx, along with Friedrich Engels, esp. the doctrine that the state throughout history has been a device for the exploitation of the masses by a dominant class, that class struggle has been the main agency of historical change, and that the capitalist system, containing from the first the seeds of its own decay, will inevitably, after the period of the dictatorship of the proletariat, be superseded by a socialist order and a classless society.

Collectivism: the political principle of centralized social and economic control, esp. of all means of production.

Healthcare Reform: Good intentions, Bad idea

March 23, 2010 in Uncategorized by cvlambson

Posted 3/14/2010 9:06 AM CDT on Des Moines Register

I found an article in a search for understanding of the ramifications of Obamacare. Here is an excerpt:

…in the Senate bill, Medicaid expansion would be responsible for about 50 percent of the reduction in the uninsured population at a projected 10-year cost of $395 billion.

This approach was already tried in Tennessee. Under the TennCare program, uninsured Tennesseans were eligible to sign up for Medicaid. In addition, TennCare also enrolled individuals who were uninsurable because of pre-existing conditions and individuals not eligible for insurance through either place of employment or government.

The idea was that the state would squeeze savings out of its traditional Medicaid program through the use of managed care and this would offset the cost of this vast expansion in coverage. In essence, Tennessee officials promised a free lunch—a way to expand insurance coverage without increasing costs to the state.

Cost Explosion

Within months of the implementation of TennCare, enrollment swelled by half a million individuals so that more than a quarter of the state’s population was enrolled. While there was significant crowd-out of private insurance by government insurance—and thus increased burden on the taxpayers—the rate of uninsured individuals in Tennessee dropped substantially.

But at the same time, costs exploded. While inflation-adjusted per capita Medicaid spending across the rest of the states increased an average of 71 percent between 1994 and 2004, the corresponding increase in spending on TennCare was 146 percent. Tennessee’s Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen was forced to restructure TennCare dramatically beginning in 2004, calling the program “a disaster,” and stating he would not “let TennCare bankrupt our state.” http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2010/03/Obamas-Proposed-Medicaid-Expansion-Lessons-from-TennCare#_ftn3
This is what we are in for. Some say he’s trying to help the downtrodden. I think it is more sinister. I think it is a continuation of the Marxist Praxis that has been implemented in the country. if so, this healthcare takeover is necessary for the transformation of America into a, At best, a European style socialist state, at worst, a Marxist state. Don’t say it can’t happen; look at what happened in Germany.

Aaaah, what do I Know. Here, read about it yourself: http://www.discernment-ministries.org/TheAspenPaper.pdf

If you are more than a blathering ideologue, you will read and think.

If you are more than a blathering ideologue, you will find out about these people that put this together.

But if your not, you will have some cute one-liner to spew as a comment and you’ll jump to another blog where you can scan and get the gist of the story and spew another one-liner. Your choice isn’t it?

At least you have a choice, for now.

Republicans, The Party of NOOOO, I Hope

March 12, 2010 in What can you do? by cvlambson

No, to programs that grow the government

No, to programs that take away freedoms

Don’t comment back-what about Bush? What about the Republicans? FYI I distrust them all. From the New World Order Bushes to the They-lied-to-me-Grandad-RINO McCain. From the, ‘’depends on what the definition of Yes is,” Clinton, to Spitz, to Rangel, to the rest of the perverts, tax evaders, and the, I’m-going-to-die-in-office politicians that have wreaked havoc on our nation just so they could to keep their sorry behinds in office.

Enough is enough is enough already.

term limits, and balanced budgets baby!!!

A.D.D. moment, someone actually was naïve enough to say that our elections were good enough term limits. …when 98% of incumbents get reelected? No! We need a way to get rid of them, they gain too much financial backing by the favors they do for all the money interests to be on a level playing field with the challengers.

The sad thing is, many people buy into the notion that, we need elected officials in office that have experience and can bring the funding home. Think about that. Many have bought into and espouse the big government progressive philosophy that the Federal Government should be spending their money and buying clout in the states. It wasn’t meant to be that way.

I can just hear some of you saying, Well, let’s do away with the interstate system and the post office,  and the, and the and the… Would you like that, they pontificate with pride.

It’s a red herring: holding up one thought while you hide what the real argument is about; the real argument would be big government is not in our freedoms best interest, wielding too much power, Lording over the states, usurping the states responsibility. It’s in the constitution as well. You know theamendment that says the feds should… Well, here it is verbatim. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Are you telling me, that those old fuddy duddies who wrote the constitution foresaw the Fed trying to take over responsibilities that maybe it shouldn’t be worrying about? Imagine that -absolute power corrupts absolutely theory-.

Ooh “foresaw”, that’s like a “religious term. Watch out!!! Religious fanatic alert.

In their wisdom and guidance from on high, as many of them believed and voiced, they wisely were aware of contingencies that could occur in the republic due to greed, corruptness, immorality etc.

And thus we have the tenth amendment

NOW BACK TO WHAT I WAS THINKING-TERM LIMITS AND

My solution :  MAKE TERM LIMITS A REALITY. AND—

FOR ELECTIONS:

  • no private money. Zero! Nada!
  • Public funded campaigns with a certain dollar cap.
  • No loopholes.
  • No commercials
  • Televised Debates
  • A website where responsible Americans could go to learn about the candidates’ stands on issues and the voting record or bio of what they have done in their lives.
  • No campaign staff hoards allowed
  • No organized groups campaigning for the candidates
  • No get out the vote groups bussing people in to polls, even paying people to vote

If we did things like this, this is not a complete list by any means, people would have to want to get involved in order to find out about the candidates. They would have to research. The clueless and uneducated, wouldn’t get involved, as much, because it would require an effort.

Contrary to what many believe, voting is a privilege. You should be willing to make an effort to do it. And if you don’t care enough to find out about a candidate, then I hope you stay home and don’t vote! Oooooooooh, I am such a hater.

Sure, sure people would be disenfranchised. Some people vote for those who will give them things duh. They need to be left out.

Voting is to put people in office that will: Provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, as outlined in the constitution not what the progressives interpret the constitution to mean.  They need to do what’s good for the country, not what’s good for themselves!

Remember, JFK’s words?

Yes, it should be in English. That’s our language. Just like Christianity is the religion the country was founded on. It’s elementary my dear citizen. Ooooh, more hate.

We’ll tackle borders language and culture tomorrow.

Global Warming Perpetrators: Where’s the Justice?

March 9, 2010 in By Their Fruits, What can you do? by cvlambson

It’ s time to go after the perpetrators of GLOBAL WARMING Dems and Repubs alike.. I want them in jail and broke for the fraud they have subverted the country with. Madoff was a small time fraud compared to these guys. We know part of them Michael Mann for his Hockey Stick graph the IPCC for their purposeful deceit Let’s go after them. I am sure they will talk once we waterboard em!!! oops did I say that outloud?

Any politician with guts enough to do this should be put at the front of the line for  presidential candidate.

We need to demand from our representatives hearings on the issue.

Here is a tidbit that hits it right on the nose. The Article sums up my frustration on the issue.

“If describing the acolytes and hucksters of global warming as “criminals” seems harsh, ask yourself how this situation would be treated if the miscreants had been operating within the private sector. Imagine a group of corporations conspiring to create an imaginary crisis, using junk science and false advertising, with their original raw data safely shredded. Imagine these greedy capitalists selling fantastically expensive “solutions” to the problem they manufactured, and demanding control over scores of other industries in the bargain. Picture an advertising campaign reaching into movies, books, music, and “news” programs. Imagine corporate representatives invading schools to indoctrinate children from an early age, and absolutely saturating children’s literature and television with slogans and carefully constructed horror stories about how the world will suffer, if their parents don’t play ball and start forking over money and liberties to the conglomerate.

Now imagine a hacked server disgorging emails between officers and technicians of these corporations, worded exactly the same as the East Anglia Climate Research Unit messages, and ask yourself how long it would take for the first Senate subcommittees to issue subpoenas, the first crisis news specials to pre-empt prime-time programming, or the first grand juries to convene”.

Fuel Taxes Must Rise, Harvard Researchers Say

By SINDYA N. BHANOO

To meet the Obama administration’s targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience a sobering reality: gas at $7 a gallon.

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, the cost of driving must simply increase, according to a forthcoming report by researchers at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/02/fuel-taxes-must-rise-harvard-researchers-say/

This was in the New York Times. The Obama administration doesn’t seem to understand that, though the thought of clean cars would be great, the cost is out of reach for the everyday American slug going to work and paying the family’s bills.

That really doesn’t matter to them. Come “hell or high water”, they want to impose the ramifications of their ideology upon the country. The do gooders without empathy, the philanthropists without conscience, the save the world enthusiasts without wisdom are in full view of all Americans.

But are we talking about the beloved Obama? He loves us and would never do anything to hurt us, the ill informed and foolish followers exclaim.

Oh yea? How much does the annointed one love the people? Don’t get in his way while he saves the planet. You paying $7.00 a gallon is way less important than he and his croneys getting their new Green  Revolution. Forget about all the fudged data and out and out lies of the IPCC. Forgot about the data on the rising polar bear population a on  increase in the solar ice cap for the last 20 years
