Inhofe's Town Hall Statement

Inhofe took the opportunity to blame Democrats for a bevy of issues. He lashed out at democrats for overtaking the government and spending billions of dollars on unpopular packages. He said government is becoming too big and overreaching its boundaries.

"People are not buying these concepts that are completely foreign to America," Inhofe said. "We're almost reaching a revolution in this country."

Many in the meeting agreed and were vocal about their disdain for the current climate in Washington.

"No more compromise," Chickasha resident Ed Hicks said. "We're losing our country."

Social Justice Kills Freedom

It is not just a question of what the government will pay for. The logic of their collectivist thinking — and the actual practice in some other countries with government-controlled health care — is that you cannot even pay for some medical treatments with your own money, if the powers that be decide that "society" cannot let its resources be used that way, or that it would not be "social justice" for some people to have medical treatments that others cannot get, just because some people "happen to have money."

Social Justice kills freedom. I need freedom so my kids can function in society. They both suffer from Autism. Little is it understood by General Practice Physician and Pediatricians. A Developmental Pediatrician is what an Autistic child needs. Most insurance will not cover that specialist. Or they do but only have one specialist and you have to drive 20 to 30 miles to see that ONE specialist your kid is allowed to see. Under the government run health care it would be virtually impossible to get that specialized care. A child who is severely hyperactive needs Ritalin, Concerta or other stimulants to cope, survive and behave. Trust me, you don't know how much our family life and my child's life improved once we started the medication. The quality of life for my child greatly improved! Thank you Lord! So with Government health care I would not have the freedom to visit the specialist. Without freedom we are toast. Without freedom my family will be lost. My only hope is to keep that ONE doctor. Or my child will have to go to a home or institution because of her sever hyperactivity. I can't do it without the medication and treatment she so deservedly needs to be a part of the society. Social Justice Kills Freedom to choose the doctor you need in order to be a part of and interact with society.

Debunking Death Panels

I've been hammered by liberals on the HR 3200 End of Life sec. 1233. I have re-read it. An I still say the End of Life discussions is still decided by a panel of experts(?)who will ration care and tell you if you get treated or die. And Doctors are mandated to have this discussion every 5 years for those 65 and over. It is voluntary and the patient can decline. What I protest is the doctors are forced to have these consultations every five years and are paid for them. What does this do? It is the rationing of care.

He says every credible person agrees that there are no death panels mentioned in the bill. This is true that the exact words “death panels” are not used but a council is described that would make life and death decisions based on life expectancy vs. cost.

Government Health Care is going to fail. Private Ins. is Staying Alive!

I'm so hysterical I've lost my eyesite!

From the comments section:

You're so hysterical it's affected your eyesight. Re-read the section. The "Advanced Care Planning Consultation" is a conversation between an individual and their doctor about their own choices regarding end of life care. For instance, what sort of life saving measures does THE PATIENT want taken if they have terminal cancer and go into cardiac attest.

The only mandate here is the government's mandate to pay for this VOLUNTARY conversation every 5 years.

Re-read it.

My response:

Oh, this End of Life consultation has cleared my vision and knocked off my rose colored glasses! I can see clearly now! My question to you Ordinary is it necessary for our government to pay doctors for this required 5 year End-Of-Life consultation? Who will be on the panel to make these decisions? My whole point this bill is going to enforce Doctors to discuss this EOL every 5 years on anyone who is 65 and over. It is voluntary but the Doctors will be paid for this EOL interview and an elderly person might not have all their mental capabilities and make the wrong decision.

Another ObamaCare dirty secret

Chuck Norris has revealed another ObamaCare Dirty Secret: Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.

Dirty secret No. 2 is that Obama is not the leader of Obamacare. And neither is Congress. The one who has been spearheading the initiative behind the scenes is one who goes under the misnomer "adviser" to the Obama administration, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a bioethicist and breast oncologist and brother of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. And his bible for health care reform is his book "Healthcare, Guaranteed."

Dr. Emanuel has served as special adviser to the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget for health policy as far back as February, when he confessed to the Washington bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times that he was "working on (the) health care reform effort." The first draft of Obamacare?

If you want to know the future of America's universal health care, then you must understand the health care principles and plans of Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. I find it far more than a coincidence how much Emanuel's book parallels Obamacare's philosophy, strategy and proposed legislation.

Liberals are hoping to turn the tide before Congress returns to Washington in September, and are even giving members of Congress tips for limiting ugly confrontations, such as holding their town meetings in churches.

Ronald Reagan Speaks out aganist Socialized Medicine

Ronald Reagan Essays

But at the moment I'd like to talk about another way because this threat is with us and at the moment is more imminent. One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. . . . Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it. We have an example of this. Under the Truman administration it was proposed that we have a compulsory health insurance program for all people in the United States, and, of course, the American people unhesitatingly rejected this.

Rush brought this up this morning on his show. Today Andy McCarthy brings up the NYT talking about the Stimulus package and Nazi Socialism.

Sarah Palin's Higher calling in fighting Socialism

Sarah Palin's article in The Business Insider here:

Our senior citizens are right to be wary of this health care bill. Medical care at the end of life accounts for 80 percent of all health care. When care is rationed, that is naturally where the cuts will be felt first. The “end-of-life” consultations authorized in Section 1233 of HR 3200 were an obvious and heavy handed attempt at pressuring people to reduce the financial burden on the system by minimizing their own care. Worst still, it actually provided a financial incentive to doctors to initiate these consultations. People are right to point out that such a provision doesn’t sound “purely voluntary.”

Sarah Palin's "higher calling" in quiting the governorship in Alaska was to combat Obama and his socialization of America. And I did read the bill and I'm not hysteric as to become blind. Sec. 1233 did not sound "voluntary" to me either.

Palin cheers Senate Panel dropping EOL Consult

From the HILL here:

She first derided the voluntary end-of-life consultations in a House healthcare reform bill as “death panels” that could force euthanasia on the elderly. Palin also suggested the panel could decide to force euthanasia on her own Down Syndrome baby.

The White House, independent observers and even some Republicans have criticized Palin for the remarks, saying they are false. Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), who has worked to expand Medicare coverage of end of life consultations, described the death panel suggestions as “nuts.”

Since then, Palin, who some think may run for president in 2012, has written twice more on Facebook about the issue.

“We must stop and think or we may find ourselves losing even more of our freedoms," she wrote Friday.

2012 will be a good year for Republicans

From Rasmussen Reports poll:

Fifty-eight percent (58%) say the next President after Obama is at least somewhat likely to be a Republican. That’s up from 51% a month ago and 44% when Obama took office. Just 29% now say it’s not likely that a Republican will follow President Obama.

Why Government HC will ration care

Why have the conservatives rallied on the End-Of-Life consultations that are mandated in Sec. 2330 of HR 3200? We don't want GOVERNMENT in the way of our care. Especially when it involves how we are to end our life. We want LESS GOVERNMENT in our way not MORE GOVERNMENT. From WSJ Obama's Senior Moment here:

Mr. Obama has also said many times that the growth of Medicare spending must be restrained, and his budget director Peter Orszag has made it nearly his life's cause. We agree, but then why does Mr. Obama want to add to our fiscal burdens a new Medicare-like program for everyone under 65 too? Medicare already rations care, refusing, for example, to pay for virtual colonsocopies and has payment policies or directives to curtail the use of certain cancer drugs, diagnostic tools, asthma medications and many others. Seniors routinely buy supplemental insurance (Medigap) to patch Medicare's holes—and Medicare is still growing by 11% this year.

The political and fiscal pressure to further ration Medicare would increase exponentially if government is paying for most everyone's care. The better way to slow the growth of Medicare is to give seniors more control over their own health care and the incentives to spend wisely, by offering competitive insurance plans. But this would mean less control for government, not more.

Obama says the elderly have nothing to worry about. But if Health care is rationed, those with the most care are going to receive less. The Seniors look at this Rationing and with the required End-Of-Life consultations as More Government Control over their life. This bill takes all control over your life and care and hands it to the GOVERNMENT. Period.

Namely, once health care is nationalized, or mostly nationalized, rationing care is inevitable, and those who have lived the longest will find their care the most restricted.

Health Care is a Responsiblity--Not a Right

Great article over at WSJ by John Mackey: The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare. My point to this Health Care Reform is medical care for the individual is a responsibility and not a right set forth in the Bill of Rights. It is a "Service" that we all need.

Many promoters of health-care reform believe that people have an intrinsic ethical right to health care—to equal access to doctors, medicines and hospitals. While all of us empathize with those who are sick, how can we say that all people have more of an intrinsic right to health care than they have to food or shelter?

Health care is a service that we all need, but just like food and shelter it is best provided through voluntary and mutually beneficial market exchanges. A careful reading of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will not reveal any intrinsic right to health care, food or shelter. That’s because there isn’t any. This “right” has never existed in America

Excellent Outline of HR 3200

Found this one article that outlines the whole 1000 pg bill here:

But it gets a lot worse. The health care you receive will be rationed according to your age, life expectancy, and the expected quality of that life. And this, from page 427: “Government mandates program for orders for end of life. The government has a say in how your life ends.”

For these “benefits,” we give up the finest health care in the world!

End of Life stuff here:

Pg 425 Lines 4-12 Government mandates Advance [Death] Care Planning Consult. Think Senior Citizens end of life.

Pg 425 Lines 17-19 Government will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney. Mandatory!

Pg 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3 Government provides approved list of end of life resources, guiding you in death.

Pg 427 Lines 15-24 Government mandates program for orders for end of life. The government has a say in how your life ends.

The five freedoms you will loose with Goverment Option Health Care

1. Freedom to choose what's in your plan
2. Freedom to be rewarded for healthy living, or pay your real costs
3. Freedom to choose high-deductible coverage
4. Freedom to keep your existing plan
5. Freedom to choose your doctors

ACORN Playbook for HC Town Halls

From a post over at Hannity's board:

The people who show up are far right-wing ideologues recruited by paid organizers. Much of this recruitment and organizing is funded by industry lobbyists and public relations firms to engage radical right-wing groups. Many of these groups are motivated by far right ideology in general - not by health care as an issue. They are held together by a common vision of the world that centers on defeating Obama and his agenda. We can expect to see anti-abortion groups, pro-gun groups, insurance company employees (mandated by employers to come out), militia groups, and antiimmigration
groups.

All I know is the people who are showing up at these town hall meetings are every day citizens without connections to organizations or lobbyists. The ACORN and leftist organizations are painting individuals who disagree with "GOVERNMENT OPTION HEALTH CARE" as those who oppose leftest agenda. We might not agree with all of Obama's agenda, but I know 85% of the American people do not want "GOVERNMENT OPTION HEALTH CARE."

Get out of our way!

Der Speakers Nazi statement

Send Nancy a message about her comments here: http://speaker.house.gov/contact/

Go ahead and Snich, We'll be even LOUDER!

From Kevin McCullough on FoxNews here:

But now he wishes to turn one citizen against another?

At dozens of the town hall meetings taking place back in individual districts this month, numbers of reports have surfaced that ACORN members have taken to publicly berating normal citizens who are simply there to ask the questions they have about the viability of a plan that requires the government to spend an additional $1,000,000,000 dollars. They wonder this especially when 85% of people in America are satisfied and content with the health insurance system they've already chosen to engage.

So what's the answer to good old fashioned grass roots voters actually being engaged with their representatives in Congress while they're home during the August break?

The White House believes it's best to intimidate and silence, or at the bare minimum -- report.

The mistake this White House continues to make, seemingly on a daily basis, is that they reveal very much what they truly think of freedoms of the American political process.

Brown Shirt Tactics

When the White House is losing they bring in the Brown shirts. If it sounds fishy, they will collect e-mails, blogs and even neighbor's conversations. (Sound like a communist or Nazi plot?)

Over 10 years in Congress, U.S. Rep. Brian Baird has stayed tethered to his district, flying back to Southwest Washington for more than 300 sometimes-bruising town hall meetings during Congressional recesses.

But this year, he's literally decided to phone it in.

Instead of appearing in person, where "extremists" would have "the chance to shout and make YouTube videos," Baird said Wednesday, he's holding what he calls "telephone town halls" instead.

Baird said he's using the new system because he fears his political opponents may be planning "an ambush" to disrupt his meetings, using methods Baird compared to Nazism.

"What we're seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics," Baird, D-Vancouver, said in a phone interview. "I mean that very seriously."

The coming telephone conference call would be Baird's third this year.

Even our Representatives must call in town halls in fear of the Brown Shirts!

Enemy E-Mail/Blog list--The Red Coats are coming!

Sen. Cornyn puts out blog post on the Whitehouse enemy list they are compiling. The White house is loosing the info battle on Government Health care. This reminds me of the British and King George sending out the Red Coats to bat down the Colonies during the Resistance to Colonial rule and unfair taxation.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn, accusing the White House of compiling an "enemies list," has asked President Barack Obama to stop an effort to collect "fishy" information Americans see about a health care overhaul.

Cornyn, who leads the Republicans' Senate campaign effort, said Wednesday in a letter to Obama that he's concerned that citizen engagement on the issue could be "chilled." He also expressed alarm that the White House could end up collecting electronic information on its critics.

"I can only imagine the level of justifiable outrage had your predecessor asked Americans to forward e-mails critical of his policies to the White House," Cornyn wrote.

Twitter down!

Is twitter down or what? For an hour and 1/2 I have not been able to get on? It is the Obamakin's taking it down or what? The White house is reeling with it's ramming health care reform down our throats.

The Ten questions to ask your Congress Member

From Hugh Hewitt here:

1. Do you guarantee that I get to keep the plan I have and the doctor I have?

2. Will the law require Members of Congress and federal employees to be enrolled in the "government option/public plan," and if not, why not?

3. Will seniors be guaranteed joint replacements, stents, and the chemotherapy they need, or will they be forced to accept less-costly and less-effective alternatives?

4. If seniors will be allowed the expensive but most effective treatments, how will costs be controlled?

5. Will seniors have to wait longer for their treatments than they do now?

6. Will doctors see their payment schedules drop?

7. If their payments fall and they make less money, won't there be fewer doctors practicing medicine?

8. Doesn't Canada have long lines for important surgeries?

9. How will making our system more like Canada's not mean longer lines and longer waits here?

10. Have you read the bill well enough to be interviewed about it on the radio by a conservative talk show host?

Obama Thought Police out in force

This sounds like in Harry Potter with the Death Eaters out there when you mention the Name of "You Know Who" Lord Voldemort.

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

From Red State here.

Hey Obamakins, go report me right now! Obama Health care is not about getting Health Insurance for everyone. It is about controlling the people and taking away their freedom! and I'm not going to lay down and roll over. We are going to stop this HC takeover and strong arming by the Brown Shirts.

We should call them "Regressives."

I thought the turd was supposed to be “progressive”. There is nothing “progressive” about parading out tired old Karl Marx mid-19th century ideas that fail. Liberals should call themselves “regressives” because they regress back to 1860’s Germany and 1917 Russia for their “progressive” ideas.

GOP Op-Ed to Socialized Health Care

By House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) Here:

That’s because the Democrats’ plan adds a new layer of taxes, mandates, and bureaucracy on top of the current system. If that’s not bad enough, the Democrats’ plan cuts Medicare and takes away choices for millions of seniors. What does all of this mean? Higher costs for the medicine and treatments you need.

Not only will the Democrats’ government-run health care plan raise your costs, but it also will raise costs for our nation’s employers – particularly small businesses. At the heart of their proposal is a small business tax that, for tens of millions, means diminished job security.

And that's why we are fighting this socialized form of Health Care. Seniors will not get the care they need. Small Business will falter and/or stop hiring new people. Bad for the economy. Bad for Americans. Yes medical costs are rising. But why can't we eliminate the costs by Tort reform. Doctors must raise costs because of Medical Malpractice Insurance and false clams and court costs. Instead of Congress raising our taxes to eliminate the coverage Americans already have.

A Very Merry Unbirthday to You! (yes, you)

Happy UN-Birthday Mr. President!

Obama Poster in LA

From Examiner.com here:

Although reports at this time are unconfirmed, it is being reported that the release of the Obama Joker posters may be a coordinated endeavor across the US today by groups or organizations angry with the President, presumably, over issues relating to the proposed universal health care.

Yes, it is NOT A JOKE Obama wants to take away our personal freedom in running our lives by taking away the health care we have and rationing it out. Lots of people will be denied health care and the unnecessary loss of life. And we are not being a racist by talking about it.
