Outrageous ObamaCare Plan!

Weigh in on the White House Health Care Summit!
February 25, 2010
Urge the President and Senate Democrats at the White House Health Care Summit to Renounce Jamming through Obamacare in the Senate with only 51 votes! Take Action!
February 25, 2010
The White House Health Care Summit is underway and we’d like to draw your attention to Citizen Tube-where you can watch the summit LIVE from your computer at work or at home and submit your questions and ideas on health care during the event, and vote on which questions and ideas you think are the best!
The questions and ideas with the most votes at the conclusion of the summit will be asked of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH).
Eagle Forum strongly encourages you to join Senator Lamar Alexandar (R-TN) and his fellow Republicans at the summit and ask both President Obama and his liberal Democrat leaders in the Senate to renounce using the Budget Reconciliation process, which requires only 51 votes, to jam through Obamacare.
We encourage you to participate and to also submit calls and comments both through Citizen Tube and through the White House comment line and via their website. The White House is targeted in this action alert, so all you have to do is “Take Action” as usual and your input will be relayed to the Executive Branch.

Obama is Stuck On Stupid
February 23, 2010
It’s a shame General Honore didn’t leave the Army and run for office. He had the ability to tell it like it is and screw it if he hurt someone’s feelings. After the Hurricane Katrina devastation during the cleanup, the general berated one of the reporters by telling him he was “stuck on stupid.”
Perhaps someone could relay this message to Obama. After all the Tea Parties and Sick-ins, what does he do? He’s back on health care! He has said repeatedly that he believes he just hasn’t explained it well enough. To the contrary, he has made more than a speech a day, most of them on his health care initiative, and we don’t want it. What’s not clear?
Remember the old saying (paraphrasing), “God gave you two ears and one mouth so you would listen more than you talk.” Perhaps Obama should take that advice. Perhaps he is so busy talking (over 400 speeches in one 365 day year) that he can not hear us.
Listen up, Mr. President. I DO NOT WANT YOUR HEALTH CARE PLAN… NOT NOW, NOT EVER!
Sane people must be asking, why do the Democrats keep coming back to this even when the idea is wildly unpopular? Aren’t they there to do the people’s business? If we don’t want it, then why continue spending money and time on this legislation? Who will it benefit? If you guessed Democrats, you would be right… at least that is what they think. In 2010 they will find out the truth. Special elections have already sounded the death knell of liberalism, yet they keep moving forward! It’s like “Night of the Living Dead” where the zombies just keep coming all over again!
Republicans beware. This meeting with the President is a rope-a-dope. The plan is already outlined and there is no bi-partisan compromise in it. No wonder people are thinking third party… nobody in Washington is listening! Are Republicans afraid of being the “party of no”? As Rush Limbaugh says, they should be the “party of HELL no!”
After almost a solid year of fighting off this health care plan with Sick-Ins and Tea Parties, the bickering in the House and Senate from Democrats who should have the votes to pass anything, the Pelosi,”We don’t have the votes to pass it,” speech, here we are again. Why? Because Obama and the Democrats are “Stuck on Stupid!”

Media Matters – Liberal All the Way!
February 12, 2010
I just got my latest e-mail newsletter from Media Matters, the George Soros, left leaning, piece of junk. The entire news was about Republicans this and Republicans that. I thought Media Matters was supposed to be the watchdog for the media. The should call it Liberal Media Matters or Bash Conservative Media Matters to be honest. Don’t waste your time. I am unsubscribing from this piece of trash.

Congress Goes Back to Write an Unconstitutional Law – OPINION
February 12, 2010
Let me start the discussion by saying that if a law is unconstitutional, then writing another one just like it will be unconstitutional as well. What they need to do, if they are serious, is change the constitution! Take out the first amendment and be done with it.
I am sick of Democrat lawmakers and their heavy handedness. They passed laws that limited the ability for corporations to fight back and send campaign contributions to candidates who support the free market and big business. McCain-Feingold was the crown jewel of that effort, and in one Supreme Court Ruling all that was wiped away. After all, if corporations have to live by the laws being passed, shouldn’t they have the right to influence who gets elected to write those laws? After all, unions are nothing more than big corporations with special interests, and they get to contribute to influence elections.
Besides, the Supremes are hardly all conservatives. In fact, one could make the argument that the court is more liberal leaning than conservative. Yet once again liberals are grousing that the court they once supported is “off the reservation on this one”. Liberal lawmakers want to have it they way they want to have it. Let me divert the discussion for one moment to give an example.
When we had heat waves, droughts and little snowfall, it was caused by global warming. Now that we are having excessively cold weather and massive blizzards in places that have seen little snow over the last couple of decades, it is being caused by the same global warming. Huh? They want it both ways. Liberalism is much like dealing with a spoiled child.
Back to the topic. Congress passes laws that affect businesses, mostly to their detriment, and recently the high court said laws prohibiting them from contributing to campaigns was unconstitutional and an assault on free speech. So what does Congress do? As I am writing this, Democrat lawmakers are on C-SPAN doing a press release about how they are passing this new law to protect us from the evil corporations (the ones that hire people)… a law whose essence has already been found unconstitutional. Talk about arrogance! The only way to successfully make it constitutional would be to… change the constitution!!!
My gut tells me they will pass it as quickly as possible so it takes effect before the 2010 election where Democrats already stand to lose big. They hope this law will stanch the bleeding and cause them to not lose as many seats. Then once passed, it could take years to find its way back to the Supreme Court where their expectation is the court will have changed dynamics. Regardless, whether it’s upheld or struck down at a later date, it’s irrelevant as long as it gets enacted before the election; that is the objective.
The people should be outraged. Here we are in the middle of a recession and massive job losses. What do our best and brightest come up with in the middle of that global warming snow blizzard? Their idea of a jobs bill was to extend unemployment benefits so they can say, “Okay, jobs problem fixed. No, let’s not fix the economy so businesses will start hiring again. Let’s just print and borrow more money to pay the extended jobless claims.” Now with the the jobs problem fixed, what’s next? Campaign contributions? Give me a break!

Placing the Blame Where It Belongs – OPINION
February 10, 2010
With all the government interference going on you would think even liberals could see that politicians are out of control… or rather trying to control everything. Suffice to say, that is just not the case. Tune in to any show like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity where the insane callers can be heard. Despite evidence to the contrary they will not believe that Obama’s policies are bad for the country. History’s failures mean nothing to them.
One caller even said Socialism works. “Just look at Spain or Greece,” he said.
My thought is, “If you want to live in a place like Spain or Greece… or Cuba, for that matter, then move there. They already have the type of government you seem to like so much already set up. This is our country! We want FREEDOM!”
Today during a sales meeting at the office, the manager was discussing lobbying efforts to support the real estate industry in Sacramento. Several examples of difficulties they were facing were being discussed when a liberal woman Realtor behind me was heard to say, “The party of no.” She is a rabid Democrat and spouts drivel at the drop of a hat. She has drunk the Kool-aid.
Anyway, here’s the problem with her thinking. California is and has been run by Democrats for a very long time. Republicans do not have the votes to stop much of anything that is being proposed, especially when the likes of Republican Moldonado and his pals cave on budget issues. It is not Republicans that are the cause of our state’s budget deficit.
I wanted to turn to her and explain this. I also wanted to let her know that it was Democrats, not Republicans in the House and Senate who said, “no”, to her precious health care bill, not Republicans. Republicans did not have the votes in the House or the Senate to stop anything. So the Party of No is actually depicted by an ASS, not an elephant. In fact, it was the PEOPLE who were responsible for putting the pressure on the government elites as well as their critical votes in special elections that saved the day! But I know I would be wasting my breath trying to convince her she is wrong.
One thing that astounds me is how people who are in business for themselves, as Realtors are, could ever have a liberal philosophy. What this person fails to realize is that what was done to financial CEOs with controls on their pay and bonuses could easily have happened to people in the real estate industry had not the housing bubble hit. In fact, during his campaign, Obama was complaining about the fact that housing prices were soaring because of unscrupulous Realtors, appraisers and mortgage brokers. I could have easily seen him going after real estate professionals had not the housing market bottom fallen out. I guess in a twisted way, my liberal Realtor friend can thank the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for taking the bullseye off her back!
(Note: It seems like Obama always has to have a bad guy because he has nothing to offer himself. How many times has he blamed the previous administration for the mess we are in? And I would submit that six of those years were splendid. It was the last two when Democrats took over majorities in the House and Senate that things started to come apart. Just a comment before I move on. )
Quite frankly, I know I am preaching to the choir for the most part. There are always people who will never be happy with our free market system. But, as I said above, my first words to them are, “Go somewhere else and live. If you love the way Cuba does health care, then move there and leave us alone.”
The majority of us who love our country should not be forced to live under the laws favored by the very few socialist malcontents who hate America, hate freedom and hate our Constitution. I would sumit that Americans have had a taste of totalitarianism and don’t like it. We are waking up. This is why we will win in 2010 and beyond.
