Happy New Year to all!

We can look forward to 2010 with hope of stopping the current administration in it's tracks! The push is on to take the house back and take away the majority in the senate.If we expect to survive as a nation of free people this swing to Socialism must be stopped.
Secondly, let's be sure to close Gitmo! Send all of the Yemeni prisioners back home so they can jion the current terrorist movement there. Let's take KSM to NYC for trial and be sure that we give him all of the rights accorded to a citizen of the USA. What is Holder thinking??? Leave Gitmo open and leave those terrorists there. Try them by military tribunal! They have no right to set foot on American soil ever!Obama treats this like a police action-it's WAR for God's sake. I mean that literally- the radical Islamists are fighting an age old religious war and the only way to stop them is to kill them or imprision them.They can never be our friends!

California and Obamacare

Sen. Ben Nelson got a sweetheart deal for Nebraska to buy his vote in the Senate. The prairie
states want the same deal. They want the Fed Gov to pay for the increased Medicaid costs. Why, because they're rural.I live in rural California, most of the state is still rural  by the way. The high density population is mostly along the coast, the rest is rural. Most of the coast is liberal and the rest of the state is conservative. California is 20 billion in the hole now how can we be forced to pay for the increase in Medicaid when we simply don't have the money. We are among the highest taxed people in the nation now. Wealthy people have left the state in droves in recent years because of the tax policies.

It looks like the Obama administration isn't interested in us ,just getting their agenda passed. This monster bill will bankrupt our country. Even the so called independent GBO was called in to the President's office for a TALK and when they emerged their figures on the cost of this thing had changed. This borders on criminal and the Repubs need to look into the underhanded deals made to pass this!

Obamacare

Anyone interested should read this bill! It will scare the life right out of you. It gives government the right to ration healthcare  just as we thought. Obama denies that that is the object but he lies. Read it and you will see. Seniors should be scared to death of it. Lifesaving new drugs and treatments will not be allowed if they cost more than the government panel thinks they should. Development of new medical devices and drugs will be stalled because the companies will not be able to recoup their costs. If this thing passes it will be a disaster for the nation!! Already small businesses are fearful of hiring because of the costs and taxes that go along with this thing. Jobs recovery is being stalled by that fear. Real good job Congress- you just screwed the American people royally!

Midnight vote

Why is there no tort reform or interstate competition included in the monster Obamacare bill? The two things that would, alone, bring down the cost of healthcare. The AMA came out in favor if this thing when , in fact, only 17% of their members approved of it. If it passes both houses of Congress old people will find their healthcare rationed by vurtue of the fact that $480 billion dollars are being taken from Medicare. Medicare was alway the sacred cow of the Dems when the republicans favored not increasing the cost of it. "We can't touch Medicare",they would always say. What happened now????? Seniors get ready for the worst!

Senate to vote 12/24/09

It looks like the Dems in the Senate are pulling out all of the stops and voting around midnight on 12/24.
They are hoping the American people will be too busy with family to pay attention to the vote. So far the bill will be passed on purely party lines without a single Republican supporting it. The only Dem holdout,Ben Nelson, caved when promised that the bill will not include funding for abortion. I really would like to talk to him about the property I have for sale out in the Mojave!!  The new taxes and cuts in Medicare will take effect right away but the new coverage will not take effect until 2014. Do you think that the revenue will be set aside for 2014? If you do I'd like to talk to you about that property as well. Now that the Dems have paid off the senator from Louisana and made promises to others they will get the bill passed. This will come on the backs of the seniors again. This bill includes $480 billion in cuts to Medicare. Do you think this will mean rationing for senior healthcare??? I would like to see seniors get it together and vote these guys and gals out of office in 2010!

The Health Care Bill

I must thank Senator Joe Liberman and the Republicans for standing up against the healthcare bill. For his efforts, Sen. Liberman is suffering mightily! His wife has been attacked by the Liberal media. What's with that?? She is not involved in this fight and should be left out of it as should all family members of all Congress people. Sen. Liberman has guts! I would also like to thank Sen.Roland Burris for his statement that he would not vote for the bill if the public option is not included. I hope that this stalemate will spell doom for the whole thing. Today the Congress passed another sitmulus bill supposed to "create jobs". We haven't spent the initial stimulus money yet, why do they feel the need to dump more taxpayer money into the pot. They have yet to do the two things that will create jobs-Tax cuts for small business-less regulation for small business. Those are the only things that will work. Pouring good money after bad will not achieve anything helpful.

Clean water protection act

This will be the largest land grab in the history of this country. According to Fox News the federal gov wants to remove the word navigable from the clean water act. This will let them have power over any bodies of water , private wells and water systems. By any body of water I mean ponds, stockponds creeks, streams ,ect..Check it out! This is just another way to take from the so called rich landowners and redistribute wealth to the socalled poor. These people need to be stopped.

Global warming

Wow, I simply can't contemplate the effect of Global warming as I sit here freezing my b--t off. Last week it was in the twenties. This is very,very early for our area. We could use a little warming right now. Well, Obama made a trip to Norway (on Air Force One, at taxpayer expense) and next week he is going to Copenhagen to sign away our future, again at taxpayer expense. Not that I think he  should take a commercial flight but at least don't give our future away at our expense. He refuses to listen to more than half of the people in the USA, says that we are fringe kooks. We don't want to give up jobs and our future so he can make the Europeans happy. All of this touchy,feely stuff is making me ill. Clean air is great and I'm all for it but I don't think an unilateral approach is the answer. What about the biggest polluters on the planet-China and India. Why should we have to pay for their sins??

Copenhagen Summit

President Obama is going to possibly give away tax dollars to foreign nations and possible kill any new jobs that may become available in the USA. Any climate change legislation or promises from Obama will effectively kill any new job formation. Small bussiness is the engine that drives job creation and anything done at Copenhagen will further damage them. It does look like that is the intent of this administration! Leave well enough alone, we're in enough trouble as it is. If the Congress passes Cap & Trade, card check and the healthcae bill you can kiss the USA goodbye. It will be over for us. We must , for the good of the country,vote the liberals out of Congress in the up coming election cycle!!!

12 weeks to make a decision??

I'm not suprised by the President's decision on Afghanistan. I knew he had to send the troops. What does bother me is the timeline. Now the enemy can just sit back,cool their heels and wait us out. If the war quiets down then we can leave and then they can rise up and take control again. If Obama has the will to protect the middle east from nuclear weapons then we have to stay there! We can easily isolate Iran with troops on both sides of that country. If Iran threatens to use nuclear weapons in the middle east then we will have to step in,with or without Nato help. We simply cannot allow Iran to become the dominate nation there! With this administration showing it's weak nature Iran is getting bolder. Their leaders thumb their noses at the US and UN at every oppotunity. Obama does nothing. They had a healthy fear of GW Bush. That's why they called him a cowboy! I'd rather have a cowboy in the drivers seat than an ideolog. Now even his own party members are fleeing his ship like rats. They don't want to go down with him in the next two election cycles.

ClimateGate- a global farce exposed!

http://blogs.wsj.com/environmentalcapital/2009/11/30/climategate-the-fallout-continues-from-cru-hacking/
Click on the website above for the really up to date info on ClimateGate. This just goes to show that what I have always believed is true. The politicians want to keep us in a state of fear so that we will let them control our lives. Read Michael Creighton's book, "State of Fear". It is a great read and soooo true.

My Grandson

Well, now that Obama has finally made a decision about McChrystal's request and it looks like my grandson will be among the troops deployed to Afghanistan. He volunteered and we are so proud of him for that.My question is what took so long to make the decision. He gave the General almost all of what he asked for. I know he is very concerned about the far left not being happy but he is supposed to be the President for all Americans. His political career is most likely over at this point anyway so who cares what they think? He cannot get elected for a second term the way things are going.

Lets devote all of our time now to getting the healthcare bill defeated and stop cap & trade. These two bills alone will bankrupt our country. If you think taxes are high now just wait! We have no need or desire for these two plans. We can't afford them and they will not make our lives better in any way!

Senate healthcare bill

The conservative Senators are our only hope for defeating this monster. Please contact your Senators and tell them how you feel about this thing. It is the worst piece of legislation I have ever seen! Senior citizens should be outraged by the terms of this bill. Their care will be rationed by a government panel. The panel will be made up of beaurocrats not medical professionals. It will all be based on dollars not quality of life. You can see it starting already by the new government guidelines for mammograms and pap smears. As a nurse, and hospital bill auditor, I can assure you that the insurance companies will take those guidelines and use them to justify not paying for yearly tests. All of our advances against breast and cervical cancer will go down the drain. Again money ,not health,is the issue with the new guidelines. You must be proactive now. There is no more standing back and watching this thing unfold. It is you health and pocketbook that are going to suffer if this monster passed. Get up and fight it. Contact your Senators now.

Afghanistan ?

http://www.google.com/Obama's overseas trip has turned out to be catastrophy! He humbles himself before the Emperor of Japan, alienates the Chinese and still hasn't made a decision about troops for Afghanistan. What is so hard about this decision that it has to take 10 weeks? It's either yes or no. Remember Johnson and McNamara and their micro management of Vietnam. That led to failure. Let the generals do it. Don't try to base decisions on your political future. Oh, by the way, you have no political future if you continue on the current path. You will be a one term President with the likes of Jimmy Carter. It will take the next administraion their whole first term just to undo what damage you have done to our country.

Gitmo detainees

Everyday it's something new! Now FNC is reporting that the Obama administration is thinking of buying an under utilized prison facility in the midwest and housing the detainees there. WHY for heavens sake. What's wrong with leaving them where they are. No one has escaped from there yet, the climate is similar to what they're used to and the military are better equipped to house them. Americans don't want them in our neighborhoods. Why won't this administration listen to the will of the people!?

They've done it now!

Attorney General Eric Holder has made the decision to bring the 9/11 conspirators to NY to try them under US law. They will be given the rights of US citizens and tried as such. This is a horrible decision and can only lead to more pain and suffering for the families of those killed that awful day. These people should be tried by a military tribunal and never be allowed to set foot on our soil. They should be tried at Gitmo! What are you thinking Mr. Holder??Where is President Obama in this deal? The Obama administration seems to be doing everything to undermine the American people.Why do they do things that the people don't want? Do they work for us or do they want to control every aspect of our lives without benefit of our input. When we try to raise our voices they simply brush us off as nuts.

Pelosicare

Well, they did it under the cloak of night on Saturday. They voted to take 500million out of Medicare to partially fund this massive takeover of the healthcare system. The seniors will bear the burden again. Did they forget that the seniors are a huge voting block? All of those who voted yes on this "Obamanation" need to pay the price at the next election. They need to be fired by the voters! Let's hope the Senators have more respect for the will of the people. Vote this thing DOWN. We need tort reform and interstate competetion of insurance carriers not this plan. It would be so simple if they only let it.

To quote a famous movie line:
"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!". To the radicals in the Congress- Don't do this (Obamacare,Cap & Trade,etc.) if you have any hope of keeping your jobs!

Nov 3rd elections

The message has been sent to the Liberal Congress! Listen to the people or you will not be able to get relected in 2010! We don't want Obama/Pelosi/Reid care! We don't want Cap & Trade. We want jobs and that should be the priority of the Government right now, not all of this massive spending on things we don't need or want.  We need further tax cuts not more taxes. Seniors are tired of being told that they are not important and benefits that were earned over a lifetime of service to this country will be taken away to be used in these unsustainable schemes of liberals and socialists. Seniors VOTE and most vote their pocketbooks. Don't use Medicare funds to supply healthcare to illegal aliens and people that don't want to buy healthcare. The country simply can't afford, nor do we want, any of these programs!

Revolution

I think that this Tuesday will be the beginning of the revolution to take back our Country from the Socialists currently in charge. Let's give the Obama administration a message. Let's tell them that they cannot turn our country into a Socialist state without a fight. We are Americans, the best country in the world. We are free and want to remain that way. There is to be no silencing of the conservative voices in this country. We are the majority!! None of our dismay is over the color of Obama's skin but the quality of his decision making. He surrounds himself with Socialists and Marxists and give them decision making powers that were meant only for elected officials that we can hold accountable by our vote. His Czars are out of the reach of the voters. This is a practice that should not be allowed. I praise Glenn Beck for bringing these Czars into the light for all to see. This is a travesty!

Pelosicare

This bill is an "Obamanation"- Terrible for America, horrible for taxpayers and tragic for senior citizens!

Afghanistan War

If President Obama does not send the troops that Gen. McChrystal has requested we will fail our mission there. In my mind the mission is to keep the Taliban on the run and unable to move into nuclear power Pakistans territory and take over those nukes. If we don't stabilize Afghanistan and keep a presence on the ground there that is just what will happen. I agree with Sen. McCain-time has run  out for Obama to "review strategy". Do something. As he mulls this over the Taliban bombs Pakistan and kills mostly women and children, who mean nothing to them as we know.

Virginia election

Hopefully, the folks in Virginia will use good sense and vote McDonnell to the State House. This will send the first message to the White House that we intend to take back our country!

Healthcare reform

The people in Congress are making this whole thing so complicated,as they do with everything. It is really sooo simple!
Medical tort reform to limit the amount of judgements and interstate commerece in the health insurance industry. The costs for healthcare would come down dramatically and the Government would not have to get involved in making decisions about our healthcare. There would be virtually no cost to the Government and NO NEW TAXES for healthcare reform.
Why do they always have to make everything so difficult??

The American Way

The current administration in Washington is doing all it can do to trash the Constitution and all it stands for. Our American way of life is being threatened as we speak by the Libs and left wing radicals in Congress and the White house. We all need to stand up against this shift to Socialism that is being forced down our throats. Watch Fox news and see why the White House is upset with them and anyone else(ie.,Chamber of Commerece) that disagrees with their vision of what America is.
