It's that kind of government we are electing and reelecting and reelecting. Get the picture?

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON...

MAY GOD DAMN THE UNITED STATES SENATE

ALL OF THEM

* * * * *

The Obama Administration has fumbled the ball again, (they can't get anything right), and Janet Napolitano is front stage again. But, for the grace of God, that bomb would have gone off killing 278 people aboard and who knows how many more on the ground. Not only are these goons a disgrace to the country, but they have allowed our national security to badly deteriorate in 11 short months. This terrorist attack almost came to fruition... the guy got further than anyone has gotten since 9/11.

MAY GOD SAVE US FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND OUR CONGRESS.

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

HEALTH CARE: THE OPPRESSION BEGINS?

Bribery, theft, embezzlement, and total lack of moral character. Paying each other off with our money. Graft, corruption. Cavalier attitude toward we the people.

Those bastards deserve what they are going to get.

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION.

SENATE IN FINAL HOURS OF CONSIDERING BAD LEGISLATION

From what I have seen these past few days, the attitude in the left-wing of the United States Senate is, “It’s better to pass bad legislation than to pass no legislation at all.” Those of us who have been on the receiving end of some of the bad Bills that have come out of Congress in past years respectfully disagree.

Certainly, there are issues to come before Congress that require careful attention and deliberation. I am speaking of issues that have a profound and lasting impact upon the lives of our citizens, the conduct of our domestic and international affairs, our economy and our essential well-being. These are issues that need to be fully explored from all aspects in order to ensure that the decisions rendered are fully informed and considered out so that they can be well-executed.

Decisions should be based solely upon the common good; for someone to say that the ultimate decision will be based upon political campaign contributions or lobbying power is not acceptable. “Yes, we agree that malpractice awards should be capped, but most members of Congress are lawyers and a whole lot of legal firms contributed to the last campaign, so we don’t want to anger the lawyers,” is not a satisfactory explanation for the failure to reign in malpractice awards.

We have heard the same arguments about opening up the import of medicines from Canada, or allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines. Again, to excuse the failure to address these issues on the basis of what the drug manufacturer’s or insurance companies want is not acceptable. Congress works for us, not for them.

We now are in what appears to be the final and decisive hours of deliberation in the Senate regarding health care reform. We, the people, have made it well-known that we do not like the direction that this proposed legislation is taking. We are against the bills being considered; yet, those in power in the U.S. Senate seem to be hell-bent on getting a bill passed before Christmas because “failure to act is not an alternative.”

Here comes another very bad piece of legislation.

In these hours, we Americans must pause long enough to make it known to those in Washington that we demand better consideration, evaluation and full deliberation on all legislation before decisions are made on anything. Otherwise, this is not a democracy, of the people, by the people and for the people.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

OBAMA BECOMING "EPITOME OF POLITICAL QUACKERY"

The President is now alleging that the failure to immediately pass the Senate Health Care package will result in the United States falling off the edge of the Earth. His remarks, made Wednesday night, come after Howard Dean urged U.S. Senators not to pass the Bill because it now does not meet their far-left wing objectives. Republicans have been urging Congress to scrap the plan entirely and to start a new plan that will cap malpractice awards and reduce prescription costs.

Obama told ABC's Charles Gibson, “If we don't pass it, here's the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you,” he said. “Potentially they're going to drop your coverage, because they just can't afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year."

The president said the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an “unsustainable” trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, “the federal government will go bankrupt.”
Well, Mr. President, we Americans are sick and tired of your alarmist scare-tactics and your bullying ways. As a matter of fact, sir, we have almost gotten to the point of totally turning you off. You are quickly becoming known as "the epitome of political quackery."

That point having been succinctly made, let's please put this version and all similar versions of the Health Care Plan in the shredder and, right after the first of the year, let's start crafting a new bill that leaves the quality of our health care intact, caps malpractice awards, opens the door for insurance competition across state lines, provides for the import of Canadian drugs, and encourages students to enter the medical profession. Then, let's find ways to provide health care to those who want it, need it, and don't have it. We can, and we must accomplish these objectives without bankrupting the country and without give the government full license to intrude into our personal lives and private health choices.

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

AMERICA WILL PAY FOR ABORTIONS AFTER ALL

With the skids now greased for the Senate to pass the "reworked" Health Care Bill whether we like it or not, Pelosi is already indicating that the House will receive the bill and send it straight to the floor for a full House vote as soon as received so that it can be passed before Christmas.

As you will recall, the Senate refused to add an amendment, like the one added to the House version of the Bill, barring public funds from being used to pay for abortions. This means that, after Obama signs it and the Congress then comes back and creates a new public option after the first the year, we taxpayers will be paying for abortions that are against our religions.

Everyone involved with this travesty belongs in jail. It's all been a big, damned show of smoke and mirrors designed to keep us at bay until the timing was right.

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, angrily submitted.

OBAMA, REID, PELOSI: ALL THREE MUST BE EXORCISED

If Obama is so ashamed of America and is so enthralled with the Marxist-Fascist way of doing everything, why doesn’t he move back to Kenya, where he probably was born? If I were a Black American, I’d be ashamed of the guy. He has fanned up the coals of racism in this country that caused so much pain and suffering for almost two centuries.

That’s my start to this post and I know I am going to get angrier as the writing goes on. It’s a plain and simple truth: Obama has done more to destroy this country in the past 11 months than all of radical Islam and the rest of our enemies have managed to accomplish in the past 25 years.

In a “state of emergency,” Obama plunged the country into debt like it has never seen before, to rescue banks and to create an “economic recovery” and a "stimulus.” When all of this money was being obligated, it was sold to America as being “loans” that would be paid back, but Obama managed to take control of General Motors and Chrysler, bondholders who had bankrolled the companies before got the shaft; banks found out that their boards of directors were being replaced and… now that money is being paid back, Obama and Congress have plans not to put it back into the treasury, but to spend it on other bullshit pork barrel projects.

The Cap and Trade legislation, a worse piece of garbage than even the health care plan, thankfully got stuck in the Senate. Obama, having surrounded himself with a new power structure of “Czars,” fired off a volley this week and told the Senate that if they do not pass the Cap and Trade, the EPA will issue Administrative Regulations of its own that will be far, far worse than Cap and Trade.

Every facet of the Health Care Plan that America has been against has been included in the Senate version of that Bill, although several attempts have been made to amputate them, (play on words intended). Although over 80% of Americans are happy with their current health care plans, and 63% oppose the health care changes as currently written, Pelosi and Reid have firmly promised to pass a Bill before Christmas so Obama can sign it. Every dirty trick in the book and then some have been played by both Reid and Pelosi, including outright lies to the American people, misinformation, disinformation, and contemptuous name calling. Remember: thugs from the SEIU were called out to a Town Hall meeting to control access. If there was a problem, wouldn't it be a police matter and not a "thug"matter?

The most recent move, to change the government run option into becoming an addition to the Medicare program, has been said by Medicare officials itself to add over $250 billion in costs. The American Medical Association has firmly said that it will result in thousands of doctors and practitioners refusing to take Medicare patients and 20% of hospitals and clinics closing, thereby totally screwing up health care as it currently exists. Little do they know that the Medical Czar is probably going to tell doctors that, should they refuse Medicare patients, they will be fined $10,000 per day until they change their minds. As the President of the SEIU says, if they can’t convince us with talk, they’ll get really mean and nasty. Maybe violators will end up in Guantanamo?

Nancy Pelosi, ever the darling of the ball, said this week that she will support the Medicare plan, even if it costs her 20 or more Democrat seats in the House. They do not care who they ruin in their mad dash to totally take control of every facet of the government and our lives before the November elections. I’ll get back to that point in a moment.

The EPA is now taking the position that it has total control of all waters in the United States and it can regulate them in any way it so desires. What does this mean? If you have a swimming pool, you are going to have to meet EPA standards and inspections. If you have large acreage with a pond on it, you are going to have to maintain it to EPA standards and they will have the right to come onto your property at any time to inspect it and make sure you are in compliance and to tell you what kind of fish you can have in it. Don’t believe it? Remember the provision in the health care edict that says if you do not have insurance you are going to be fined and if you don’t pay the fine up to $25,000 you are going to jail? It’s still in there.

The House of Representatives, in all of its glory, has now passed sweeping legislation that gives government the power to break up any business they feel is a threat to the economy. That’s Barney Frankfarter’s Christmas gift to America. Take a Bill Gates who has a brain and creates a plan and turns it into a company like Microsoft and changes the world... that company certainly must be high on the list of companies to break up because it certainly could pose the biggest danger to the whole world’s economy. What incentive would Bill Gates have to repeat this performance today? Oh, I guess if he kicks in a few billion dollars to some Obama slush fund, he might escape the wrath of the Politburo? This total and absolute power to destroy any American business will be given over to the Administration.

There’s more bullshit. You and I both know it but, there’s not enough space left on the Internet to list all of it, and Obama now has the authority to shut me down, anyway.

Now, I get back to the point previously raised… the 2010 elections. Do you think that we are really going to have them? Okay, okay…maybe I’ve gone around the bend a little? I never thought in my wildest imagination that we would be seeing what is happening to our country today, so I don't rule out anything.

Take Senator Landrieu from Louisiana. She’s up for reelection in 2010 and, if she votes for this Health Care debacle, she’s surely not going to win in 2010. But, if she does vote for the Health Care debacle and it passes, what do you think would happen in Louisiana if it got an extra $1 billion for various projects and if it was made clear that she “secured that money for the good of Louisiana,” and if she got an extra $2 or $3 million for her campaign fund and, maybe, a $1 million addition to her personal bank account?

You and I know that this kind of activity by our President and Congressional leaders has already been taking place.

If you are half as angry at what is happening to our country as I am, you’ll get off your ass and do something about it. You need to join me and scream and yell loud and clear. Let’s take up a collection and send these fascist dogs out of the country. I don’t think we can take another year of this crap. WE NEED TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY, AND WE NEED TO DO IT NOW; WE CANNOT WAIT.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, not-so-respectfully submitted.

OBAMA'S WAR DECISION SUCKS

War is ugly. Anyone who has ever seen an arm or a leg torn off by a mortar blast, a body torn apart by shrapnel, or the results of a .45 or .50 caliber round through a skull… the smell of a burning body… knows that war is not only ugly, it is hell. Therefore, those of us who have served our country will tell you straight up, “We do not like war, we do not want war but, if we are going to get into war, we’re going to fight to our last breath to win and to win as quickly as possible.” The quicker a war is won, the fewer lives will be lost.

December 7th, the “day that will live in infamy,” is upon us. When the Japs leveled their sights on Pearl Harbor and opened their bomb-bay doors, there was not even a fleeting thought that they should avoid civilian targets, schoolyards, churches or marketplaces. When the Allied Forces responded and started bombing the hell out of Germany and Japan, the object was to bomb the enemy into submission and to win the war.

Point in fact: The Radical Muslim does not send his captive off to Guantanamo; instead, the Muslim lops off his enemy’s head.

What about the rules of the Geneva Convention? If you put forth that argument, you don’t know a damned thing about war. What do you think war is, anyway? Is it a polo match, a chess game or a Sunday football game? When the enemy points his machine gun at you and you see his finger start to tug at the trigger, do you shoot back or do you start to read the rules of the battlefield to him?

We do everything we can to avoid wars. We confer. We attempt compromise. We confer some more. That was essentially our approach to the war going on in Europe. But, when the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, the avoidance tactic was instantly forgotten. When the United States entered World War II, we made the commitment to win, no matter what it took. You fight to win or don’t you don’t fight at all.

There is no politically correct way to fight a war; if you think there is, surrender immediately and save lives. When the enemy invades or attacks your country, it's is a prima facie declaration of war. Your enemy has sized your situation up and feels that he can conquer. When radical Islamic terrorists, Al Queda, attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, they knew of the dangers and potential consequences and they were right: we have been engaged in a polo match ever since. We’ve taken the “politically correct” approach. We have shown the world that we no longer know what war really is. “I don’t care how many of those guys there are climbing over the walls to kill us, I just took this guy captive and I’ve got to read him his Miranda Rights?”

Bullshit.

You shoot the guy you just took captive so you don’t have that distraction, and then you turn your guns on the guys coming over the wall and you cut loose with every round of ammo and every weapon you have and you don't pick between men, women or children. Why? Because it’s them or you, and you can’t feed your family or send your kids off to college from the bottom of a grave.

Obama’s announced exit strategy from Afghanistan simply does not meet the test of war. He did not come to the podium and announce that we cannot and will not accept defeat; he came to the podium and said, “We’re sending in an additional 30,000 troops and we’re absolutely going to get them out within 18 months.”

Well, why don’t we have a nice and polite parade? Maybe the White House Orchestra will play a tune or two? We can invite the lady in the red dress, only this time we'll give her a copy of the invitation.

Obama is a weak President when it comes to making the tough decisions. His speech was a downer. Mr. President, are you going to win this war or not? If not, bring our troops home, save their arms and legs, give their children the opportunity to go to college. Put up the white flag of surrender. Open our country to another 9/11.

You cannot have it both ways. This time, you cannot stand up in the Illinois Legislature and announce your decision by saying, “Present.”

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
