It's been a while since I have had the time and energy to write a post of my own here. Much has happened in the interim. It is mighty tempting to title this post "We Told You So" because conservatives and those who actually bestirred themselves to read or at least skim the erroneously named Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act did our best to warn America of what was in it.
Ms. Pelosi famously said: "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it". No ma'am. As a member of Congress, it was one of your most basic duties to READ the bill to find out what was in it BEFORE you voted on it. That aside, I think Ms. Pelosi and her fellow criminals in the 111th Congress who voted for this monstrosity knew exactly what was in it. They knew it would kill millions of Americans, because that is one of the purposes of this piece of excrement. It was designed to allow the government to legally kill people in a way that wouldn't incite a violent uprising in the American people - because, as I have been told over and over by the bill's apologists - its the LAW now.
And that's the thing. Slavery was the law at one time too, but it was bad law and here in America, we have, not only the ability to change bad law, but the duty to do so. Americans are a law abiding people and those currently in power and their minions and useful innocents know this. They are counting on it.
As a law abiding people with the authority and duty to change the government when it becomes abusive or tyrannical, we have a duty to remove this "law" from the books entirely. It violates our 4th amendment right to privacy along with forcing us to engage in commerce at the whim of government, which is clearly abusive of our self evident but un-enumerated right to use our resources, financial or otherwise, as we see fit.
The truth of the PPAACA that Americans are waking up to as their health insurance premiums have been raised to the sky or their health insurance has been cancelled altogether, is that this is a threat to our form of government, our property, and our very lives. There will be consequences for that threat. There must be or the government bullies, who have been put in places of power by the degraded character of a nation that farms out the individual duties of charity to an over sized and uncaring, faceless government, will only escalate, because bullies and abusers who face no consequences for their actions always do.
Right now those bullies, and they are people who sincerely believe that they are driving the evolution of humanity to the next level through their Utopian, socialist nonsense, regardless of the cost in lives that such philosophy has engendered EVERY SINGLE TIME it has raised it's ugly head in human history, are crying to their dear leader to do something. Save them from their folly - at least until they can be re-elected - at which point the deathcare will resume along its intended path.
Their dear leader has responded. By ordering private companies to ignore the law for a year. I am at a loss to produce one president in the history of the USA who has thought he had the authority to order private companies to do anything. That is because the president has no such authority here. There are no kings in the republican form of government given to us by our founders who were guided by the Hand of Divine Providence. Yet he has done so and without even offering compensation for the work required by such an order.
I do not think that the threat of death and pain to our families, friends and neighbors as well as to ourselves can be brought back into comfortable denial by such a tactic, even were it allowed to stand, (which it had best not be or there should be more than democrats fearing for their re-elections) because I hope and pray that Americans have just been given the wake up call they really need to see what is happening to our nation.
The claim of the tyrants and bullies is that the free market system doesn't work for health care - even though the free market system -even hobbled as it is by excessive government regulation - has already built the best health care system in the world.
The claim of the tyrants is that the poor will be given free access to the health care they need under this monstrosity. the truth is that, given the outrageous premiums and deductibles, the poor will be made much poorer and still be unable to access health care.
The claim of the tyrants is that the cost of health care will go down. The truth is that a single page of regulations on any industry has never resulted in lower prices. We can only imagine how high theprice of health care will be driven by 20,000+ pages of regulations.
The claim of the tyrants is that "if you like your plan you can keep it". The truth is that 5 million+ Americans have already lost their health insurance and millions more will be unable to afford the premiums for the new plans they are being offered. The truth is that this monstrosity was designed to steal the wealth of Americans and kill them when they become "useless eaters" in the eyes of these tyrants. Unless there is anyone left who still thinks the IRS will not play partisan politics with our health care.
The head tyrant has ordered, ordered the insurance companies - private businesses - to embark upon a high cost reversion of actions they have taken to comply with this monstrous "law" until the 2014 elections are over in order to restore the awakening giant to a passive slumber. The truth is that he and his minions have threatened us and our children and our families. A threat that remains active, because cancer patients and others who just had their vital, lifesaving treatment yanked out from under them with the cancellation of plans they liked and counted on will not forget, if they survive. I suspect their families will not forget if they don't.
So, America, look around you and ask yourself: which of my family members, neighbors or friends would I trust with my life and the lives of my family?". Then go out and get those people to run for office - because we desperately need trustworthy people of good character to replace the tyrants and bullies we have now. For those who helped to put those tyrants and bullies into place - you need to take a break from voting until you have educated yourselves on this nation, what government is and is not to do for you and your responsibilities to her.

Obamacare kills stay at home Moms and Children
I know the title for this one may seem a bit extreme. Perhaps you should read the post to find out what's in it.Congratulations my fellow stay at home Moms. Those of us who decided that being there for our husbands and children was more important than building a resume have just been shown this administration's estimate of our true worth. We are useless eaters and therefore not worthy of sharing the health care coverage that our husband's employers are now legally required to provide, but only for full time employees, not their families.
Oh, and don't worry about the kids, they're not going to be covered either. So, to all those who voted for Mr. Obama, and all those who just love, love, LOVED the idea of obamacare... okay, I refuse to say that sort of thing on my blog. But know, that, I have just lost the fine distinction between the intellectual impact and the emotional one in this issue. As far as I am concerned, all your enthusiasm and glee for your new commie leader is how I view your opinion of my death and that of my child. This harms me and may God forgive me for the thoughts I have of all of you at this moment and going forward.
You should be ashamed of yourselves, but you're not. You all still think you're all heroes instead of the newest version of "useful innocents". Shame on you for thinking that heroism comes without sacrifice. My only consolation will be that many of you are dependents yet on the breadwinners in your own families and you won't be covered either.
Maybe now you'll appreciate your great grandmother's saying that you should be careful what you ask for.
And if the husbands of this nation will not stand up for their wives and children in this regard, then you will have what you deserve.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."~ Genesis 2:24

We The Stupid
We The Stupid
"Back to the $2 Trillion that Obama is being handed. I honestly think that most people in this country have no understanding of simple counting numbers. Do you not understand how much a trillion is? Where do you think this money is going to come from -- who has two trillion dollars to loan us? China? Nope. Not even close. China's entire GDP is only $6 Trillion. Do you honestly think that China is going to loan us one third of their total annual economic production? China was a huge creditor to us back when $100 Billion was considered a staggeringly large amount of money - which was four years ago. Now $100 Billion is literally a rounding error. Do you realize that there are only a handful of nations of this planet that even have a GDP in excess of $2 Trillion? If these countries loaned us every penny of their GDP, it wouldn't even be $2 Trillion:
Canada ($1.57 T)
India ($1.54 T)
Russia ($1.46 T)
Are you starting to understand the scope of what we are talking about now? Obama is going to embezzle considerably more than the entire economic output of Canada, India or Russia to his cronies before the 2012 election -- and that is just counting this round of spending. This doesn't include the other $5 Trillion he has already burned through since 2009.
China is not going to lend us this money because they simply don't have anything close to that much money to lend. This $2 Trillion is going to come from the Federal Reserve. Where is the Federal Reserve going to get $2 Trillion? They are going to print it out of thin air. We are in the midst of the largest currency debasement ever seen in human history. There is only one result that can come of currency debasement: hyperinflation and total economic and societal collapse."
This excellent article from The American Thinker site should be required reading for all Americans - TODAY! Call your legislators and get involved people! And if they refuse to listen? Recall them. If your state has no provision for recall? Get your state legislators to introduce one.
"While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage."

To Default or not to Default?
That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the congress to suffer the slings and arrows of profligate spenders who scream "the sky is falling" or to stand your ground and ensure that future generations of Americans do not have to bear the burdens of our own.
To stand, perchance to win, aye, there's the rub. For by winning, we could make a respectable start to reclaiming our nation and our freedom. For too long we have allowed unchecked power brokers in Congress to steal our freedoms incrementally through compromise. Compromise is nothing but a steady incremental loss, unless one is strong enough to own the label "uncompromising."
I should hope that the people we elect are of strong enough character to realize that a little bit of name calling is nothing compared to the incremental loss of this nation.
Is the challenge before us with the debt ceiling question really that dire? I think it is. The damage to our fiscal credibility as a nation has already been done. The analysts who watch these kinds of things have indicated that we have been given a great deal of leeway solely because the dollar serves as the world's reserve currency. If we do not show them that we have the resolve to be fiscally responsible but slashing our spending, (And don't even propose a paltry few billions in cuts over 10 years - are you serious? Clearly not.) then they will move, as has been strongly urged by more than one government, to make something else the world's reserve currency.
Think that can't happen? Have a look at the pound sterling. That was the world's reserve currency before the dollar. It can and will happen. We are not entitled to be the world's reserve currency, we have to earn it. Abuse of that status will not be tolerated any longer.
Don't listen to the talking heads or the power brokers who think things are still the way they were ten or even 5 years ago. Listen to your own common sense. We cannot spend our way out of debt and attempting to do so will lead us to ruin.
This debt ceiling debate, right now, is, in my opinion, the tipping point. No more compromise. If our legislators don't understand that cutting spending and cutting it drastically is the only acceptable resolution to this challenge then let them step down and let others with more fiscal sense, responsible attitudes and backbone take their place. This is it. If you haven't called your legislators, do it now.
Let them know that that if there are any raises to the debt ceiling or taxes there will be consequences. Find out if your state allows the recall of federal legislators. If it doesn't, call your state legislators and ask them to make some. There is no acceptable compromise on this issue if America is to remain the land of the free instead of the land that spent itself into slavery.
"To sleep, perchance to dream..." indeed, we have been sleeping too long. Let us awake and take back our nation and our Constitution...before it's too late.

The 111th Congress will live in infamy
I offer my sincere apologies to the men and women of our armed services. I called my senators and reps and let them know throughout this process that I opposed the repeal of the 1993 military personnel eligibility act. But it was in vain.
I know many conservatives will view this last lame duck session as reasonably successful, having defeated the omnibus spending bill and the DREAM act. Those were necessary for our fiscal health as a nation and I won't deny it.
I also know that this legislation will weaken our military and cause many who were of unquestioned good character to leave to protect their spotless reputations. I know that it will cause others of somewhat weaker character, bereft of the companionship of those who would have otherwise restrained them from rash actions, to follow less than honorable impulses.
I have no doubt that the vast majority of those troops who remain will do their best to serve with honor. I would not wish to be guilty of besmirching the reputation of those who remain and serve faithfully. However, I view this action on the part of the 111th Congress not just as an appeasement of those selfish enough to demand to serve regardless of the consequences to our military and our nation.
In truth, I view it as an attempt to not only demoralize our military, but as an attempt on the part of Mr. Obama to build a military that may regard their first loyalty to be to him rather than to the nation. There is an oath that is taken upon entering the military. One that specifies that the individual taking it will defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I highly doubt that a group of people whose perspective is so skewed as to hold their own selfish wishes above the security of our nation will be willing to defend a Constitution that they have been alternately fighting and ignoring these many years.
Perhaps I am old fashioned. Perhaps I am a prude. Or perhaps, I just understand the difference between convenience and necessity. The difference between wants and needs. The difference in the character of those who act for selfish reasons and those who act for selfless reasons.
Character counts and we have just dealt a serious blow to the character of our armed forces.
May God help us, although I have no idea why, at this point, He would. This is as clear a message to the Lord that this nation no longer respects, serves or worships Him as the continuing shameful legality of abortion for any reason other than the life of the mother.
Perhaps He will see fit to remember and preserve that irate, tireless minority who, like myself, serve Him still. I know it is His wish that all would come to salvation, but actions have consequences. He would not be just to withhold such consequences from a nation who has abandoned Him after He has blessed us so richly.
" For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
