WASHINGTON, D.C. – If the law known as Obamacare gets struck down in the latest court challenge, the victors will thank a Hudson resident and Case Western Reserve University law professor who discovered what the law's critics say is a major flaw.

Jonathan Adler, 44, says he didn't even appreciate initially how significant his discovery might be. He thought it was an interesting bit of legal arcana, worthy of scholarship. But his analysis of the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, has led to four pending cases in federal courts, two likely to be decided within months, that offer ACA opponents their best chance of gutting the law.

Oral arguments were heard in one of the cases, in U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, on Tuesday.

Adler, a Case law professor since 2001, pored over the ACA after it passed in 2010 and found this:  Congress created a system for providing tax subsidies  and penalties in order to give incentives for people to buy health insurance or for employers to provide it. States were supposed to create new agencies that would offer online insurance-shopping options, and states would tie into a federal tax system to dole out the subsidies and assess the penalties.

But the ACA made clear, Adler says, that the subsidies were to be used in these new state marketplaces, or "exchanges." There is no record, he says, that shows Congress directed the subsidies to what has since evolved: a large, federally run, health-policy shopping exchange. When the subsidies are mentioned in the law, Adler says, it is always and only in the context of state exchanges.

Congress did provide for the creation of a federal exchange, but as a backup, Adler says. 

Things haven't worked out that way. When the law was put into practice, 27 states, including Ohio, said they did not want to start their own exchanges or partner with the federal government for a jointly run exchange. They are using the federal system instead, forgoing federal grants that would have helped them establish their own marketplaces. According to the Pew Research Center, that means nearly 60 percent of Americans who lack insurance live in states that refused to have their own exchanges.

Based on the law, Adler says, the Internal Revenue Service has no legal authority to give tax subsidies to people enrolling in the federal exchange. The IRS wrote a regulation as if it has that right, but Adler says the ACA never empowered it to do so.

Although this particular issue involves the signature law of President Barack Obama's White House, there have been legal parallels with the desires of other administrations, including President George W. Bush's, on environmental and other matters, Adler says.

"In none of these areas does that authorize the administrative agencies to rewrite the laws altogether," Adler said in a telephone interview this morning with The Plain Dealer. "They've got to go back to Congress."

This may sound like a novel theory for the policy and law blogs, some of which Adler participates in. He initially used his research for a paper that he presented at a legal conference at the University of Kansas in February of 2011. 

But then a friend and influential health-policy analyst, Michael Cannon at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute, a Washington think tank, told Adler that he was onto something big -- something that could profoundly affect Obamacare.

Without the tax subsidies, the ACA cannot work. Its central tenet is insuring nearly every American, but health insurance would be too expensive for many people without the subsidies.

Adler, commenting via Twitter this afternoon, said that "our argument is that the law should be enforced as written." He also tweeted, "It's the IRS and Administration that are trying to 'overturn' the law with creative re-interpretations."

Cannon and most conservatives say the ACA represents a massive government overreach. And so Adler and Cannon teamed up after the University of Kansas paper and spent more time on the issue, publishing an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal and an influential paper in Health Matrix, a journal of law and medicine They wrote more columns and made appearances, not only to gatherings of policy wonks but also before members of Congress.

And their work is now at the center of four court cases. Besides the one on Washington, DC, others are pending in Virginia, Oklahoma and Indiana.

The Obama administration tried to get the case in Washington, DC, dismissed but failed. Critics of the Adler-Cannon work say they are focusing too narrowly on individual sections of the law and fail to take into account congressional intent. 

“The health law’s purpose is to help every American access affordable, quality health coverage, whether it be through a state or federal exchange," said Yianni Varonis, a spokesmen for U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat and a champion of the ACA. "In the unlikely chance that this lawsuit succeeds, its result would be to make it harder for Americans living in states that refuse to set up their own exchanges to obtain affordable health coverage. Congress had no intention of doing this or of creating two classes of health care citizens.”   

Timothy Jost, a Washington and Lee University law professor and authority on heath law, said in 2012 that the "legislative history of the ACA establishes that Congress understood that premium tax credits would be available through both federal and state exchanges." Jost wrote in the Health Affairs Blog that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office also assumed that subsidies would be available on all exchanges, state and federal.

Adler disagrees and says the CBO was focused on an assumption that every state would have an exchange. Furthermore, he contends, the CBO's assumptions "can't trump the law." (For those interested in getting more deeply into the weeds, Adler and Cannon responded to Jost's analysis with their own Health Affairs Blog piece.)

Adler acknowledges that some Democrats might have wanted subsidies to be awarded broadly on the federal exchange. But that's not how the rushed legislation worked, and that's not the way laws work, either, he says.

"I'm a firm believer that the laws we have are the ones Congress actually enacts, not the ones that we wish we had or we wish that Congress had enacted differently," Adler said.

Furthermore, he said, "no one has found" that a member of Congress specifically made a case for providing subsidies on the federal exchange when the law was being worked out. The subsidies, he said, are always mentioned in the context of state exchanges.

"It was somewhat surprising that we didn't find such contrary evidence," he said.

Democrats and many pundits say the Adler-Cannon argument and its related legal cases are long shots. But the argument represents the current legal tack and best chance that critics have to unravel the ACA. The judge in the Washington, DC case, Paul Friedman, has suggested he will try to rule within months

Adler, who was in Washington and watched part of the oral arguments Tuesday, says his legal rationale is strong, but he has studied courts long enough to know not to assume victory.

"As far as what's going to happen next, it's hard to predict," he said.

"As I teach my students in administrative law, courts are always reluctant to strike down decisions made by administrative agencies."

Attempting to explain the difference between the society we are, a republic, and the illusion that so many think we are, a democracy, this retort was offered to this simple fact. We are a democracy because we have representative government.

That simple analogy was so beyond any reasoning I’d ever considered, like an epiphany it became obvious that this simple misconstruction answered the reality that today this nation is so far from its design, our designers would not recognize it.

If we envisioned the course of our nation, following a path like a river, we’d now be walking beside a dry stream, like one in the Texas drought, where the only thing in the river bed would be is dry sand. It would be void of any semblance of it once was, or any suggestion of what it once was.

The why would not be because of a drought, thought that may be an analogy, but because as a society we have so diverted, and changed the course of our design, there is nothing left for us to ‘even recognize’ who, or what, this nation’s miracle once was.

Is it that simple? Is our nation’s destruction accelerated and advanced as easily as replacing the design of representative government with the entry drug of communism, democracy?

For those who question this analysis, let me share who first advanced this obvious conclusion, Vladimir Lenin, who realized that it is the perfect tool, this democracy—for it by its very construct—creates the cornerstone of communism; that there will never be the respect of nature’s laws, and nature’s God, if advanced. For foremost in the constants of nature’s law is this simple endowment of self-evident acknowledgement, that all men are equal. That all men are born with free-will, that all men have domination over their greatest wealth—that very life of creators gift—and that all men have the rights to be protected from the domination…and the control…of other men.   

This reality has been confirmed in the reality of mankind since the ‘trial of Socrates.’ Man’s first challenge to the power of the most dangerous entity ever created from the mind of mankind, government. It has been confirmed by the philosophical evaluations of philosophers over the ages. From Socrates, to Montesquieu, to Tocqueville, to our own present American philosopher, Thomas Sowell of this reality.   

Thinking of the retort, that we have elected representatives—thus we have a democracy—was a simple analogy of error we seldom consider. For the design of using the vote…as in representative government of this nation’s design…and the universal voting rights of everyone, as in democracy, are as inverses as night and day.

If as a society, we do not understand this reality. What is missing creating this error? In my simple analysis, my conclusion is that we as a nation do not understand physics. The reason we as a nation must understand physics, is that the reasoning required to comprehend our design, is based on the simple reality of the second law of thermodynamics, or as many know of cause and effect, Newton’s second law of motion. The concept, the fact we must comprehend and understand is ‘cause and effect.’ For it is the actions of the decision to do, by man, and the fact that he…that same man…will reap the results of those actions which is the basic knowledge we must comprehend.

For it is this simple fact, this simple constant, that is our nation’s design. As such, those who voted in this nation were never designed to be universally all. For what rational nation would allow those to vote, who did not have to live with the results of the decisions they made. How can a man, who pays for the excesses of government spending, and the result of the actions of that government, in rational reasoning, allow those who would benefit from the theft of taxation to have the opportunity to also vote? It is the most illogical, irrational, and unreasonable concept ever devised by man. For by doing so, it refutes that basic concept of physics; that the cause and effect must be in the genre of politics have results to all ‘equal.’

There never was, nor was never intended that all men in a society would be allowed to vote based on the simple reality—they exist! For to do so is so irrational, illogical, and in diametric opposition to the simple physics of the physical world, the universe in which we live, it is incomprehensible that anyone would even contemplate such irrational, illogical, design.

Is that the problem? Is it that our society, the men who inhabit this planet, have no more understanding of the ‘constants’ which make up the universe? Is it the simple reality that in all of the empirical history of man, we have one thing that is an example of confirmed variable? Is it beyond understanding that the variable is, that man, and his ability of ‘abstract’ thought and reason, is that variable? Alternatively, do we even comprehend what the concept of variable is? Do we even lack that?  

There are many different definitions used in many genres that identify variable for their use. The only constant is that ‘variable is not consistent.’ In the society of man, this is most easily recognized by considering an experiment. In the hypothesis of man we conduct experiments to use the same genesis, our foundations, resulting in a conclusion. If the conclusion is repeated over and over every time we do the experiment, then we say because of the results are constant, not variable, then the hypothesis is proved, and accepted.

Yet in the actions of man, there is no hypothesis of our political environment we require proof. For in our society of man, we repeat our experiments over and over, even when in that experiment we have—by the results—confirmed, proven it is failure. Yet we, in the environment of the artificial entity of man, government, do it again and again, with failure after failure. The difference, we compose different inputs to the same experiment, proven to fail, with some illogical illusion that, no, now we have the answer. Never once do those who believe in ideology, not reality, accept the fact that the very constraint, the very idea, is in error and will never no matter the application be successful, or work.

The examples could fill a book; communism, islamism, democracy, totalitarian sovereignty, which are all synonyms of the same disease that has plagued mankind since its conception; government. It is no more evident than the illogical insanity of advancing both theft, slavery, and insanity of the ideology of communist control—by government—of the health care system.

In the history of the literacy of mankind—there is one, and only one—example of a concept of government with the result of success. It was the wonder of the United States of America, from 1775 to 1789. This brief window of existence a nation with the only design of government that had within its construct, all of the protections of man’s natural laws, and the laws of God’s design were preserved. It wasn’t even a design of western man, it was the plagiarizing of the construct of the tribes of the North American continent; where the Iroquois federation of five tribes, established a unwritten constitutional government and elaborate political system. The key, the wonder, you not only enumerate—restrict—government, you keep it powerless, unable to dictate—to be the totalitarian sovereignty—to the society of man. This is the reason of this nation’s very existence, and something as a nation, with the corruption of the illusion we are a democracy, and those who do not have to live with the error of their vote, have destroyed.

That is the error. That is our demise. That is the ignorance of our society. Perhaps that is the easiest correct. The means to restore reality, restore reason, and restore logic to this absolute insanity of the path currently of this nation. Perhaps the answer is that simple. If we ensure that those who vote, must be responsible to pay for the actions of this government; perhaps the sanity of our design can be restored.

This is not something new, something original of our nation, not known before. For long before this nation, in the early 1700’s the Scottish in their union with England made the obvious observation. ‘Government has no right to steal in the form of taxation, that which an individual by the criminal laws of the nation cannot do.’

Is it that simple? If we reject the power of government to steal in the name of government—that no man in society can do—is that just how simple our preservation may be?

An Abusive Executive

   Last Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the President’s Constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws, as laid out in the US Constitution in Article II, Section 3. The speakers for the hearing were, Michael Cannon, a director for health policy affairs at the Cato Institute and Jonathon Turley, the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University. Together, they blasted the President’s execution of Obamacare, or, more accurately, his failure to execute. They pointed out that, after passage of the law, Obama has on numerous occasions, changed the details of the law. From collecting taxes that were not authorized to choosing to delay taxes that were authorized, he has picked which parts of the law to enforce, while disregarding other parts and failing to enforce others.

   The aforementioned Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution, lays out the duties of the President of the United States, one of which is “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”. This was the subject of the hearing Tuesday and, together, Cannon and Turley dismantled the handling of the laws by Obama and made it abundantly clear the Framers of the Constitution would not approve of the piecemeal attention given the law by the President. As egregious as the abuse is in this regard, I believe Obama has gone way beyond this charge in his attempt to grab powers from the other branches of government.

   In the last five years under Obama, He has intimidated the Justices of the Supreme Court, gone around the Houses of Congress and consolidated central power not in the government, but in the Executive branch. His EPA, has passed regulations without Congressional approval. Those regulations have laid waste to companies, levied fines and destroyed employment across massive swathes of the country. They have killed the coal industry, causing concern among the electric companies. The last large lead smelter will close in the next week or two due to regulations, amounting to back-door gun control. His Border Guards are ordered not to enforce laws regarding illegal aliens (yes, I said it) entering our country and they dictate which, if any, violators get deported.

   Then, there are the multitude of executive orders given. Under Obamacare, one of the provisions was that doctors were not required to ask certain question of patients. One of those questions was whether or not there were guns in the house. Last year, Obama penned an executive order that it was okay for doctors to ask the question, under penalty of Medicare money. Another order okays questions of sexual orientations and behaviors. There are orders for government grabs of food, crops and water in the event of a national emergency. The President decides when to declare a national emergency. There are guidelines and executive orders for when martial law can be declared, with more orders giving even more power to the President. Evidently, the National Defense Authorization Act of a few years ago didn’t go far enough.

   There are many websites that someone could visit with many conspiracy theories, from FEMA Camps to be used for detention of American citizens opposed to big government to others.The problem is that a lot of those theories are rooted in the possible abuse by a government bent on control. As I look at our history, it occurs to me that many of the things that are going on in the government are the same things that Thomas Jefferson laid out as grievances against the King of England in the Declaration of Independence.

Servants First

My Status is the same as always.
I'm here (on this Earth) to serve Jesus and Others.
I know that my words may be somewhat severe, but I always speak them with the truest of motives. I Love all of you enough to speak the things that I truly believe will help all know how best to live as the Lord wants us to. I am always open to any Ideas that can be backed up first by the Word of God, second by true moral standards, or third by undisputed historic/scientific evidence.
I've served in the military to defend everyone's Right to Speak their own Minds and Beliefs. I don't, and you don't, have to agree with all I purport to be True.
Debate is one of my favorite forms of conversation, better than surrounding myself with "yes men".

The Leaders of Our country today have seemed to do just the opposite. By surrounding themselves, with "Yes men. yes women, yes media and yes apologist", we hear nothing but repeated lies and whacked out Ideas made up by the president and perpetuated thru out our society these days.

By following these Simple rules that I use to validate my beliefs, the leaders of today would make much better decisions, about everything, whether they hold my religious beliefs or not.

You don't have to be a Christian to benefit from ALL the Moral teachings of the Bible. There are no teachings of Jesus contrary to moral Law from anywhere in America, unless you really believe you can change right from wrong. The so-called leaders of today, typically leading from behind, don't seem to even possess even the slightest of morals or intestinal fortitude. From the "Coward in Chief" to the lowest member in Congress (with the possible exclusion of Ted Cruz), even the veterans after the ilk of McCain, seem to have Zero accountability to The People of These United States or Any Higher Power. We in these States that understand that the entire basis of this country's existence is, and always has been, based on "CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES" have no President representing us. It seems that Ubama represents only himself and his whacked out socialist ideology. The President Is supposed to be a Servant of the People of the People. His Leadership is to inspire others to do the Will of the People. This he does not do. Personally, I believe that the best Leaders have been in the Military or in real public service(Dr's, Police, Firefighters, etc...) not community organizers or career Politicians.The founding Fathers would be appalled at the politicians living in office I'm Sure. They get there and completely forget the reality of living in and for this country and people,IF they ever did know these things. Term limits are a must. Thank You All. 

If there is ever anything I can do to explain the Bible or my Beliefs to help you out, just ask. I will do my best to use Bible to interpret Bible and back up my beliefs.
The Lord has truly blessed me with the time to repent and come back into His service, of that I am Eternally Thankful. I pray not only for You all, but the whole World, without ceasing.
May God Richly Bless you, my Beloved.

4063787009?profile=original     Are White UCLA Professors racist for correcting minority

students grammar mistakes?  - Photo Credit  Advance the Struggle

If you are a college student in Obama’s America then you are wondering if the protest at UCLA is a throwback to the 1960’s civil rights era or is it  just Affirmative Action 2013.  Whether or not racism is alive and well on the left coast at UCLA, it appears that a white professor who has been targeted by some minority students is certainly not engaged in discrimination.

What is his alleged sin?  He is accused of correcting the grammar of some minority students who did not conform to graduate level standards, reported the Young Conservatives.  Is it a crime?  Maybe it is a crime, but Professor Val Rust of the Graduate School of Education & Information Studies did not commit it.  That most onerous crime was committed by teachers of these minority students in K-12 and perhaps even undergraduate studies.

This is tragic because all too often, minority students who are not working at the graduate level standards which are expected are far too easily drawn to the post-Obama era “Somebody did this to me…and they are probably white,” sloganeering.  In a hot minute you can expect the civil rights Calvary headed to the UCLA campus in the guise of General Incompetent Al Sharpton and Colonel Rhyme-a-Lot Jesse Jackson.

Former President George W. Bush would have labeled the problems these minority students face as the soft discrimination of low expectations. After all, Rust was quite clear about his alleged issues with the student’s performances. Professor Rust explained in a letter to the department that,   ”I have attempted to be rather thorough on the papers and am particularly concerned that they do a good job with their bibliographies and citations, and these students apparently don’t feel that is appropriate.”

So what exactly are these students expecting the result to be by engaging in an endless series of 60’s era sit-ins and protests?  Are standards in graduate schools supposed to be lowered and lesser levels of achievement supposed to be acceptable?

By Oscar Y. Harward

 

The United States of America was founded on certain principles; principals that our Founding Fathers felt were necessary to insure the future viability of this Country and the governing structure as they had envisioned. Their applied wisdom, embedded in our Constitution, is irrefutable.

 

Today (y)our Federal Government is rapidly drifting away from the intent and expressed commands of the Constitution.  The all-consuming quests for power at Federal levels are far exceeding the intent of our founding fathers and the intent as they had envisioned into the Constitution.

 

The Founding Fathers were striving to create a system of check-and-balance insuring that our Federal Government would remain a Republic.  The United States was founded by a collection of 13 States united to give a central voice in international affairs, a limited national affair, to regulate commerce, and to harmonize across-state laws.  They even gave the States the right to withdraw from this Republic if they felt the Republic was not fulfilling its responsibility to the State(s).

 

Our Founding Fathers fought incredibly hard for our Independence from England.  These men understood the value of a free people's government in protecting the peoples’ freedoms and rights.  If anyone has any question on this issue, they should read the Declaration of Independence; a Document that should leave no question(s) as to our Founding Fathers intent. 

 

Furthermore, the "Federalist Papers" will further substantiate the defined intentions as incorporated within the Constitution.

 

Every student in all schools should be required to read, understand, and achieve the ability to articulate the details and limitations within our Constitution and its’ full understanding.  The same student requirements also apply to the Federalist Papers.

 

Each candidate for election seeking any and all ‘Federal’ office(s), or any appointed manager in any Federal government department, should be compelled to openly share his/her personal detailed knowledge, findings, and conclusions on our Constitution and the Federalist Papers, before their approval.

 

Our Founding Fathers, with their wisdom, set up three branches of government (Executive, Legislative and Judiciary); all of equal significance so neither of the three branches of government could supersede any of the others.

 

Article I, Section. 9 of or Constitution addresses "State's Rights" and their taxes: "No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State".    

 

In 1832, President Andrew Jackson made the first substantive attack on "State's Rights" when he sent troops to Charleston, SC in response to their refusal to submit to a tariff on goods exported to northern States.  Fortunately, cooler heads convinced him to recall the troops before they reached Charleston.  Vice-President Calhoun did resign in protest and wrote the "States Right's Doctoring".  In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln sent troops to South Carolina in response to their threat to withdraw from the Republic. 

 

While each of the ‘Bill of Rights’ Amendments are of significance in difference to different individuals, one as a ‘sore of dispute’ with me is where President Obama, his administration, and Capitol hill Democrats seem to ignore, attack, disobey, and prosecute (y)our Constitution in my personal life is the Tenth Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

 

The Tenth Amendment is now under attack and in violation of the Constitution by President Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder.  Several States’ Amendments, as passed by the voting electorate, are under attack and prosecuted by this administration; even though these Amendments are in compliance with our US Constitution.  While our Constitution was based on Christian values, President Obama and AG General Eric Holder are filing Federal lawsuits against these ‘States Rights’ Amendments.

 

Today, we have legislation named as ‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’ more often called ‘ObamaCare’ as passed in early 2010; defined by SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts as a tax bill.  Today, President Obama is passing out ‘waivers’ to Labor Unions, his own staff, Capitol Hill legislators, and other political friends.  Whenever in US History was a President able to dictate in giving ‘waivers’, other ‘differences’, or ‘exceptions’ to others on tax issues while requiring the remaining ones to pay; another unconstitutional active violation?  Additionally, this legislation is not working as promised.  ObamaCare is not protection and is not affordable to middle Americans.  ObamaCare legislation does characterize a ‘redistribution’ of the wealth.

 

Throughout our history, Moderate to Liberal Presidents and ‘Liberal’ Capitol Hill legislators continue to whittled away at our Founding Fathers in expand entitlements to other Americans and others around the world; some who have fallen through the cracks and in real need, while others desire all and will take anything and everything without helping themselves.  These latter ones would not work in a pie factory where all food was for free.  This is contrary to the intent of our Founding Fathers who wanted to provide an opportunity for all.  All of these entitlements are at (y)our taxpayers’ expense; now mostly with out-of-control deficit spending.

 

Why do ‘Liberal’ legislators always want to support and vote for spending more of taxpayers’ money?  Why should those who are motivated to work harder and smarter, in creating a better life for themselves and their own family, be penalized?

 

The evolution of our Federal Government has reached the point where one or two States may champion a cause and have a National law passed along party lines.  National laws supersede the laws of any individual State.  Effectively, a few States or  even cities, seem to believe they have the ability to impose their will on all other States.

 

For example, the Second Amendment protects (y)our ‘RIGHTS’ to gun ownership: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

 

“… the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  With that being totally clear, New York, Chicago, and others elected and appointed officials seem to believe they can supersede the Constitution.  Each elected and appointed officials responsible for their derogatory irresponsibility should be imprisoned, themselves.  (Y)our schools should be teaching ()our children gun safety, the use of guns in hunting for food, and to protect their self and their family from criminal activity. 

 

The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

 

Many Americans with a left-wing view are even denying ‘life’ as unalienable Rights of human life; even denying (y)our ‘Creator’ in Heaven.

 

Reality law appears to be from passion without reason being applied.  We see a passion for power and notoriety without the reason to see, or understand, the effect it has on the American people.  Laws are written by lawyers and politicians with personal and political agendas; their only constraints are usually, but not always, in the limits of the law; absent morality.

 

Under current Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), we have recently seen in the Senate a 225-year old law changed so that a single majority political party could gain absolute control of the Senate.  This change is reducing the 225-year old law from a previous 60  votes out of 100 Senate votes to proceed with legislative action to a now 51 votes out of 100 votes to proceed. 

 

Today the intent, and the explicitly, of our Constitution seems to have been largely forgotten by our elected officials in the White House and on Capitol Hill.  We see a manipulation of the laws and we see, somewhat, absolute partisanship.

 

We see President Obama and the Democratic Party united with a common agenda without regard for the History of this America, without respect for the sacrifices made by our Founding Fathers,  without respect for the wisdom embedded in the Constitution, and/or more than 600,000 Americans who gave their lives in wars to protect our Constitution, and our American Flag.  We see President Obama and the Democrat National Committee (DNC) that may compel each elected Democrat to toe-the-line on these ‘left-wing’ issues so as each candidate to ascertain DNC monies for (re)election(s).

 

What we see is a rapidly evolving Democrat Party that views itself as a ruling party answerable only to itself.  A ruling party that can pass laws at will, change laws by decree, and exert dominion over the people.  We see President Obama and the Democratic Party as a party that uses the law but does not have an appropriate understanding of or reverence for the law.  We see President Obama and the Democratic Party as having an insatiable thirst for revenue - and history has shown that thirst ultimately leads into conquest.  If we continue on this course, without respect to the intent of the Constitution, we will see the evolution of a ruling party over an oppressed populace?

 

This is not idle speculation, read the history of the rise of the Nazi party during the 1920's and 1930's.  In the USA, we have seen laws changed and people exempted from the law through decrees by our President and we are seeing the Democrat Party change procedural law in order to obtain and exert more control. We are beginning to visualize a spiraling taxation generated by a forced ObamaCare plan that seems to ignore the people's hardships and further suppresses the populace, all in the name of this same Party sponsored plan.

 

This is a control over the populace that is far more reaching than just providing a national health care.  It is a control over the livelihood and wellbeing of the populace forcing them to be dependent on the Government - and dependence removes the option of choice.

 

It is well within reason to assume that ObamaCare is just an early step in increased governmental control that will evolve to the point where our Government can decree the level of healthcare we are allowed, disallowed, or to receive.  This makes us further dependent on our Government and gives it much greater control of our lives.  By definition, this is truly a form of conquest.

 

It can be visualized that the implementation of ObamaCare is an important cornerstone in the governmental evolutionary process; a process which will allow implementation of an absolute monitoring of the populace under the guise of protecting people's health welfare.

  

If this is the case then there is a high probability that within less than a decade we will see increased electronic tracking of the populace, including the requirement that any individual using ObamaCare must have a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device implanted on their person under the guise of insuring accuracy of healthcare and preventing fraud.  If we carry this visualization further we can envision a point where the Government can use our healthcare information to determine our acceptability in society, whether it be a chemical or mental imbalance (real or perceived), to remove undesirables from the populace for the safety of the populace. 

 

Although the Constitution does not address political parties we do have a two party landscape today; Republican and Democrat.  With both the Senate and President being from the Democrat Party and seemingly in full accord that the Government appears to have evolved into an only one controlling Democrat Party. 

 

The Republican Party can be discounted, or considered a non-player, for several reasons; the first being that the powers of the Senate are greater than that of the House, thus giving the Republicans limited ability to effect change, the second being that, of the three branches of government, the two most singularly powerful are controlled by the Democrats and they appear to be in full collusion. 

 

The Capitol Hill Republicans appear to be fragmented.  The RINO Republicans appear to be in bed with the Democrat Party on more and more deficit spending.  Many Americans are inquiring as to what is any difference between a Capitol Hill RINO Republican and a Capitol Hill Democrat.

 

Americans are listening and TEA Party Republicans are gaining strength across the USA among the Republicans at large.  Political polls show that Americans are now seeking a more Conservative leadership in Washington, DC.

 

Is President Obama's signature achievement investing all in ObamaCare?  Has, or is Capitol Hill Democrats too embedded in their support of ObamaCare to get out?  Is it too late for Capitol Hill Democrats?  Is ObamaCare just a stepping stone for President Obama and the Democratic Party; a major step for something more far reaching - maybe the evolution of a Socialist form of government?

 

A major problem in the USA today is that many in our schools, colleges, our universities, and even our law schools are just not teaching our children/students World and US History, the Declaration of Independence, our US Constitution, and/or our Founding Fathers’ ‘Federalist Papers’.  Our children are being cheated for not be exposed and taught more about our US History.

 

As Judge Robert  Bork once said, "Few professors spend even a week on Story [former Chief Justice Joseph Story's commentaries on the Constitution], or The Federalist Papers [the Founders' commentaries on the Constitution], or the original Constitution. I know I didn't [at the University of Chicago Law School].... Nobody in law schools is teaching the Constitution. They are teaching Supreme Court opinions."

 

Every voter should be required to pass a simple test on our US History, our US Constitution, and our Founding Fathers.

 

Every politician going to Washington should know and understand the Declaration of Independence before taking this/her oath of office.  If they understood its’ meaning, each would have a much greater realization and appreciation of this great nation.

 

"Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes." George Santayana (1863 – 1952), philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist.

 

‘We, the people’ must remain vigilant in both our understanding and awareness of our government and of the people we place in office if we really want to keep America a land of the free.

In four words, explain America's exceptionalism!

If allowed but four words; could you explain why America should be admired, cherished, and preserved for the exceptional miracle it represents?

In this nation today when Americans are experiencing the destructive nihilism of government actions creating this destruction; those same Americans lack the capacity to explain or present the wonder of this nation. Is that by accident? Alternatively, could the answer be as citizens we haven’t been taught, either learned, or understand the wonder of this nation? To complete this absolute incomprehensible wonder, why can’t Americans but remember four words? For if, they know those magical four words, understand their meaning; they would have the answer, the philosophy, and the idealism of principles that define this nation’s miracle.

In the four words, one is absolutely paramount and required to understand this nation. For it is one singular concept that defines this nation; and it is not hidden. In fact, in the very declarative of this nation, the document ‘The Declaration of Independence,’ this simple reality stands out like a beacon in the darkness of night for our acknowledgement.

In the literacy of mankind, there is that simple singular sentence that does today, has in the past, and as long as this nation survives—a great question with the actions of our government and the present administration—will be the epitome of man’s greatest political philosophical idealism ever. What simple language saying so much. How can any American not know this, not be able to explain this, and in their heart not adhere to this marvelous principle? ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.’ Is it not beyond comprehension that any American, if asked what this nation is for, could not explain the wonder of this philosophy?

So we know one word, it’s simple…Liberty…for without liberty, then man is slave and all of the other ideals, principles, or concepts are null and void, for they have no value for any man who is not immersed in this environment of wonder, liberty.

Yet our founders left us with an example of absolute wonder, a genius that many do not recognize or even understand. For they were men, men of reason, men of principle, and men of cognitive reality; they saw reality as it is, not in some relativism of false ideology of our current political environment. As such, they before any other action identified what they knew from the history, the empirical knowledge of the civilization of man before they even began to construct a government. What would you identify as the greatest danger ever known in the history of mankind? What would you identify as the greatest danger that man would have to consider if they were to begin and create a new form of government? A form of government this planet had never known. A government that was the diametric opposite of any attempt ever know of governance. A concept based specifically on the knowledge of every indefinable error, mistake, and problem that every government since man’s recording of literacy…and surely far before that…had experienced. Would you not first have to identify those things that created the problems? Would you then not have to specifically state the problems, and from that evaluation then begin the creation of a system addressing the errors of man’s past? Is this not the format of man using his capacity of intellect, his ability of developing intelligence, and as this knowledge results in wisdom—would it not be best to make decisions from wisdom—not emotions or platitudes, ideologies  or fantasies, illusions or hallucinations? Would it not be the reasoning of mankind that thought, intellect, and empirical knowledge of experience of man’s history…his successes and failures…be the most vital, the most important to this creation of the most wondrous society possible?    

If we as citizens today, do this same analysis, what would we discover? We’d discover what our founding fathers acknowledged and used as the very fundamental foundation of everything they created. The reality, the obvious, the known since literacy of mankind, and long before that; there is no greater danger to the liberty of man, than…? If you could answer anything other than government, you are in cognitive of reality! For in the history of the species of mankind, there is, nor ever has been anything as dangerous, or as detrimental to mankind than—government. How any American forgets this reality, this obvious fact, is beyond comprehension? What lack of reason, lack of even the slightest intelligence, the capacity of intellect would be require to not conclude this? Where, and what is an example that government has done, now or ever, anything to advance the society of man—except this nation—with the foundation of creating a government acknowledging this reality. With that acknowledgement, the greatest design of government ever created by man was established. The guidelines, the wonder, the miracle above any miracle ever by mankind led to the simple design of the ‘Articles of Confederation!’

Many dismiss this wonder, this marvel of the Articles of Confederation, who can only be identified as enemies of that simple philosophy of man’s endowed rights of ‘liberty.’ Their corrupted excuse, identical to the blasphemy of our current president complaint of the ‘Constitution,’ his very words, his condemnation; Obama stated that ‘I’ view the current Constitution as being a negative document. IN that it does not grant enough power to the federal government.’

This isn’t something new, this is the same complaint of others who believed in the domination of society and man. Who among us could not hear Alexander Hamilton stating the same, the obvious? For was this not the same argument to overturn the ‘Articles of Confederation’ and replace it with a government document that provide more ‘power and domination’ to the federal government?

It is not something a great revelation to realize the wonder of ‘The Articles of Confederation.’ One only has to read the indictments of the ‘Declaration of Independence’ those enumerated, and listed documentation of the King’s ‘repeated injuries and usurpations’ against the American’s ‘rights and liberties.’ Then read the Articles of Confederation. What you will discover is so simple, so obvious; it is beyond any possible confusion that our founders feared government more than any danger known to mankind. For in The Articles of Confederation, the fears of man—and the cure to prevent government usurpation; that attack on unalienable rights, and the preservation of man’s liberty—were addressed and preserved.

Therefore, we have the philosophy required to make liberty possible. It is this design to enumerate government, to restrict government power that only then can preserve the Liberty of man.    

So the next two words are exposed, fear government. For without this abject fear, and consideration by every action in our society concerning government, we as a society by our own volition become slaves.

Liberty cannot exist without the fear of government. They are not separate; they are a summation, which one cannot be if the other is. 

Liberty, fear of government, both is philosophies. Ideals that any civilized society must not only know but also understand ‘to even say’ they represent civilized society. Yet there is one concept, one remarkable word that must also be understood before even the application of liberty or government fear can be considered.

This is the magic fourth word. It is the word used by Jefferson as self-evident, that man endowed by their creator is created ‘equal.’ For is this word is not known, is not understood, is not applied correctly, the exceptionalism of the wonder of this nation’s design is corrupted, rejected, and made null and void.

The word is so simple, in design and definition, why it is misused, misunderstood, and misapplied is beyond the reasoning of rational mankind. Who among us has not heard this word used in so many ways, in so many misapplications, and in such convoluted presentations, even the meaning is distorted? It is such a simple world, such a simple idea, such a basic philosophy, concept and ideal yet the most confusing thing to the reasoning of most men in this nation. What word could create such confusion, such absolute incomprehensible reasoning of man? The answer is so simple for the word the concept the idea is something man created from abstract thought, begun with physical acknowledgement. In the world of measurement, in the world of math, in the reality of physical construct equal is recognized and exists. From man’s very beginning of physical measurement, the simple balance beam scale, where on each side the weight was equal to the other side when balanced…the beam horizontal…the concept began. From there man in his abstract thought, realized and concluded that in society, in the very existence of man there is equal—in the fact that all men are by some divine power equal in possessing life.

As Americans, we not only forget this importance to our existence, we forget or do not understand this is not something new. Aristotle told us, enlightened us, ‘that the worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.’ Explained it with such simplicity why man confuses and convolutes this concept is remarkable. For to be equal, then all men, in the eyes of society, in the laws of the nation, and in the conscious of all other men must preserve and maintain their right of being equal.

Is that the nature of our society today? If you think so, or say so, then you are in cognitive of reality. Yet those who say we are not equal do not advance that men are equal, but the diametric inverse, the corruption of advancing equality, not men are equal. For is a man pays taxes to the state, while another receives altruism from that same state, redistributing the wealth of the payees taxes, where are they equal? This corruption, this absolute distortion of man is equal is the basis for the greatest majority of problems this nation is experiencing.

So we have the four words, the four philosophical ideals, the principles that create the exceptionalism of this nation known to no others. It is the light, the wonder, the imagination of wonder that the world desires but has no more idea of what it consist than the president of our nation has today.

You as Americans should know this as tacitly as the acknowledgement that you require air and its oxygen to exist. As intrinsically as knowing, that sustenance is as important to your existence as life itself. For without that sustenance that life is extinguished.

That is all any American must know. We are the society of man’s liberty. That liberty is preserved by restricting and fearing government, preserving that liberty by insuring our freedom from that same government. We must never veer from the simple reality that only by always making sure that before all of those considerations are adhered to, then equality, liberty, and the fear of government will not occur. All men must be kept equal, acknowledge as equal, and treated as equal—not in some illusion of equality—but equal.

This is the summation of an American. This is why this nation, this miracle of something unknown anywhere at any time to mankind—is—and will be, the true miracle of mankind, the highest advancement of homo sapient civilization ever imagined.

Ellen Richardson went to Pearson airport on Monday full of joy about flying to New York City and from there going on a 10-day Caribbean cruise for which she’d paid about $6,000.

But a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent with the Department of Homeland Security killed that dream when he denied her entry.

“I was turned away, I was told, because I had a hospitalization in the summer of 2012 for clinical depression,’’ said Richardson, who is a paraplegic and set up her cruise in collaboration with a March of Dimes group of about 12 others.

The Weston woman was told by the U.S. agent she would have to get “medical clearance’’ and be examined by one of only three doctors in Toronto whose assessments are accepted by Homeland Security. She was given their names and told a call to her psychiatrist “would not suffice.’’

Dear Fellow Patriots:

Could It Be True That Our Government Is Aggressively Engaged In Gun Confiscation In The US?

The following articles and/or blogs seem to give us the thought provoking answer to this question-You Decide:

It’s True: Government is Aggressively Engaged in Gun Confiscation In the US!-Posted on Fredom Outpost-By Joshua Cook-On November 30, 2013:

A report from TruthAboutGuns.com is claiming that New York gun owners are being sent letters from the N.Y.P.D. demanding them to surrender their guns which have feeding capacities that violate the 5-round rule.

Below is an excerpt from the New York Ammunition and Firearms:

{…}

According to Kit Daniels, “The New York Police Department is now sending out notices to registered gun owners demanding that they give up their firearms, clear proof that gun registration leads to outright confiscations.”

Earlier this year, Canadian journalist Brian Lilley from Sun News warned Americans during his broadcast that gun “registration will lead to confiscation.”

Lilley described how the Canadian government systematically confiscated firearms from law abiding citizens: (1) create a national gun registry to track the sales of firearms, (2) pass laws that ban certain firearms, (3) notify gun owners that they have 30 days to surrender their registered firearms to local police.

New York lawmakers have been lobbying for gun confiscation both locally and nationally. Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin ® exposed N.Y. lawmakers’ plans to confiscate firearms earlier this year, see video below.

Video: Proof..Democrats want to register and then CONFISCATE our guns!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryUbJfg4tAo

In an interview, N.Y. Governor Andrew Cuomo stated that gun “confiscation could be an option,” regarding new gun control laws. Now gun owners are seeing his promise of gun confiscation unfolding before their eyes.

In April, the California state legislature passed a bill approving $24 million in order to confiscate an estimated 40,000 handguns and semi-automatic firearms from felons and those who the state deems emotionally unfit to own firearms.

California uses paramilitary teams called Armed & Prohibited Persons System (APPS) to inspect homes and confiscate firearms.

Former DOJ Special Agent, Greg Cameron told Ginny Simone that the majority of those people targeted in these raids should not have been targeted.

Cameron said, “95% to 98% of the firearms we confiscated, I really questioned why we were confiscating them. This whole freakin’ APPS thing is not doing anyone any good. This has amounted to nothing less than “gun confiscation under the guise of safety.”

Cameron described what they would do in a typical raid in order to enter a home without a warrant.

“We would show up with way too many agents for the circumstance, and it didn’t make any sense; there was no need for it. And yeah, the whole place would be surrounded, and absolutely, there’s an intimidation factor there that makes people allow — or think that they need to allow — law enforcement into their house. And if we found out there were guns in the house, then we would confiscate them.  I think it is, overbroad, overreaching.  I think it’s confiscation under the guise of safety.  That’s absolutely what I think it is.  And I think this is the crux of the whole issue.  You need to know what you can and can’t do when confronted with law enforcement, especially in your own home.  I mean, that’s the premise of the Fourth Amendment,” Cameron said.

THE GUN CONFISCATION NOTICE AN NYC RESIDENT REPORTEDLY RECEIVED WILL LIKELY SEND CHILLS DOWN YOUR SPINE!-Posted on The Blaze-By Jason Howerton-On November 27, 2013:

New York City has reportedly started sending out confiscation notices ordering gun owners to “immediately surrender” rifles and/or shotguns capable of holding more than five rounds of ammunition. It is illegal to possess a rifle or shotgun with the capacity to hold more than five rounds in the city, according to NYC Administrative Code 10-306 (b).

An alleged notice sent to an NYC resident, dated Nov. 18, offers the gun owner the following options:

1. Immediately surrender your Rifle and/or Shotgun to your local police precinct, and notify this office of the invoice number. The firearm may be sold or permanently removed from the City of New York thereafter.

2. Permanently remove your Rifle and/or Shotgun from New York City…

[…]

3. You may call to discuss the matter if you believe your firearm is in compliance, or you may request the option to bring your firearm to a licensed gunsmith for a permanent modification and certification proving that it is permanently modified and in compliance.

{…}

While the confiscation notice, reported by the Truth About Guns, very well may be a normal occurrence in New York City, gun owners in firearm-friendly states like Texas or Arizona will probably have a hard time even imagining receiving such a letter from authorities over a rifle or shotgun that could potentially hold more than five rounds.

The notice above deals directly with New York City gun regulations, but there are also concerns of a potential state-wide gun confiscation effort in New York following the passage of the SAFE Act.

In addition to outlawing an array of semi-automatic rifles, the SAFE Act restricted ammunition magazines to seven rounds, down from 10. The law was later changed to allow gun owners to purchase magazines with the capacity to hold 10 rounds, however, only seven rounds can be loaded unless the firearm is being used at a gun range or shooting competition.

The SAFE Act also creates a more comprehensive database of people barred from owning guns, and makes New York the first state to require background checks to buy bullets. The system was also said to help flag customers who buy large amounts of ammo. In another provision, therapists, doctors and other mental health professionals will be required to tell state authorities if a patient threatens to use a gun illegally. The patient’s weapon could then be taken away.

It wasn’t immediately clear how aggressively the state of New York is enforcing the new magazine restrictions or if law enforcement planned to send out similar notices to the one above to gun owners across the state. Phone calls made late Wednesday night to the Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office, the NY State Police and the NYPD were not returned.

BUYING GUNS ON BLACK FRIDAY BECOMES TRADITION UNDER OBAMA!-Posted on Big Governement-By AWR HAWKINS-On November 30, 2013:

Although much of the gun control push under President Obama has failed to result in new laws, it has succeeded in creating a new tradition where shoppers scoop up guns on Black Friday so they can place them under the tree on Christmas Day.

Consider the numbers: in 2008, ABC News reported 97,848 background checks on Black Friday. In 2009, the numbers remained somewhat static but then began to grow exponentially as the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats began to flex their muscles.  By 2011, there were 129,166 background checks on Black Friday alone. 

As the National Shooting Sports Foundation reported, the jump in 2011 marked “a 32.01 percent increase over” the sales on 2008 Black Friday—the year Obama was first elected.

In 2012, the number of Black Friday background checks rose to 154,873. Remember that because numerous guns can be purchased with each background check, these figures don’t even begin to indicate how many firearms may actually have been sold. 

This information is not lost on retailers like Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops, and Wal-Mart. Cabela’s literally gave away shotguns to early bird customers in some cities on Black Friday—those receiving the guns went through a background check—and Huffington Post reported that Bass Pro Shops was running hot deals on Bushmaster AR-15 rifles. 

Wal-Mart ran a “Manager’s Special Sale” that translated into “20 percent off select rifles and shotguns.”

Buying a firearm on Black Friday has fast become an American tradition under President Obama.

Let me start with a definition of a medical device that is set by the FDA, that regulates such:
"...an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, invitro reagent,
......which is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure,
mitigation, treatment of prevention of disease, in man or other animals."
Then basically it should be under the regulations of the FDA. At least that is my opinion.
  • First let us consider testing for learning disabilities(this could be diagnosis or other conditions).
  • Mental disorders or mental illness(this is diagnosis,an instrument, implement, mitigation in man).
  • Treatment and prevention(I would say they are used this way)
Who does regulate it if the FDA does not? Another government agency? No the regulation of these tests are done on a voluntary basis by the American Psychological Association. Let me see a self regulated industry. Does anybody else see how this could lead to corruption? Or at least ethical issues? With no oversight by any one outside the profession a perspective can certainly be skewed. This is something a psychologist tries to avoid.
Before I go to far I want to list some information you can check out that has made me become so vehemently against these tests....or at least to a list of questions around them that need to be addressed. I can't remember all the books I read but I found one that has a lot of good information. Also, some comes from my personal knowledge due to my profession. So feel free to check these out. Let me restate this in a more reasonable way. These tests must be regulated to offer protection to those that may suffer harm from improper use of: test data that is unproven or on verifiable, and long term studies must be done to see what ill effects have happened because of wrong conclusion drawn from these tests. Drug companies have to answer for quite a bit. They have to do post marketing studies to see what the drugs do to people long term.
  • A book by the name of The Cult of Personality : How Personality Tests Are Leading Us To Miseducate by Annie Murphy Paul. One can read a few pages free on Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more. The introduction part will provide enough basic information for him/her to get an idea about some of the issues with these tests.
  • Here is a website where one can see a psychologist's view of the famous inkblot test. Which is that it is basically worthless. You even get to see the inkblots. Here it is Page on Deltabravo
  • Here is a website to an article by a law professor, I think. You can be certain when you go there. It talks about how the tests are normed and that they are accurate. He does admit that the math involved is very complicated. My problem deals with the groups they are normed against. Also, the people that make the test verify the data and do not submit it to anybody else. Drug companies must submit their data to the FDA before a drug can be brought to market to make sure it is safe. I recommend just glancing over this site. Page on Momnd
  • This one is amazing. It deals with the development of the MMPI. It talks about how great this test is. It says the MMPI is normed against people in a hospital and friends or relatives that visited the hospital. It fails to mention, as Paul clarifies in her book, that the hospital is a mental hospital. The common theory out today, almost taken as gospel, is that mental illness has a very high genetic component. Variations on specific areas of the DNA are associated with a higher incidence of bipolar, schizophrenia and autism. Thus these run in families according to current theory(check The U.S. Government's Official Web Portal search genetic connection of all). Here is the kicker.  Everyone says the MMPI is so accurate. This lists what I have read in other sources. Want to guess how accurate? WELL THE ACCURACY OF THE MMPI IS RATED AT 60%. That is about as good as a coin toss. Here is the site.http://www.psychualberta.ca/~chrisw.L10MMPI/L10MMPI.pdf
Before I start on more negative comments I want to state a few positive. Psychologists are not bad. I am not knocking them. They help a number of people work through a lot of problems and they save lives every year. The most effective course of treatment for depression has been identified as treatment with drugs and psychotherapy. I am just pointing out some issues that I feel need to be addressed. I asked the American Psychological Association about this and received no reply. I talked with a publisher of one of these tests and all they could say was I needed to talk to the person that administered the test.
  • Why would the American Psychological Association not want a separate agency to regulate them? It would show the tests are verified by an independent source.
  • How can the publishers of these test get out of any liability?  And just state all the problems rest on the person that gave the test? Let me use the MMPI as an example. If it is almost a toss up at being right say drug treatment is started based on it or someone is deemed and unfit parent? Assume later it is found out the test finding were wrong, wouldn't you want some way to fight back at the test? I know I would. Can a drug company just day talk to the doctor that gave you the drug? Of course not.
  • Now let us go back basic things that the tests makers, providers and publishers should have to do. A person should  be given clear instructions about the test, how it is given, what it is for, the success/failure rate, what can influence it, if they can decline to answer some questions and how that will effect the outcome, if it is given to a child how it can effect that child's mental health for the rest of his/her life, what trauma can be inflicted........?
  • Drug companies have to hand out inserts on specific drugs, most pharmacies give information on drugs the first time you get if not every time, patients have to read something before surgery(by the way there are long term studies on things implanted in you) and every one knows about hippa. Shouldn't these tests come with information leaflets? After all they are used in court everyday to help determine custody and more.
I will say just a little more about the tests before I get a little more personal, which will explain why I am so knowledgeable about this. Plus you may come to understand why it is so important if you don't agree with me already.
I already explained how the MMPI development sprung from the bed of a mental institution. Well the birth of the inkblot test has problems too in my opinion. If you looked at the link I posted it showed that almost each inkblot could have a sexual connotation. I don't know if this is from the original makers but it would not be a surprise. They were after all by a doctor and an assistant-mistress. What kind of morale's were being projected? Was their sexually relationship spilling over into the professional one? Were they nympho's? So again when these people norm these things remember the influence of the people giving the test, the history of the test and so forth.
Now I would like to share a little bit of my personal experience with the tests and some neuropsychologists. I have concerns about these tests and for our military men coming back from war with brain injuries.
Those of you that believe in God remember this. Proverbs 29:11-A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. This is not lying. It is being wise. The only time one must tell the whole truth and nothing but is in court. Everybody is entitle to his/her privacy.
At 18 years of age, just before starting college classwork, I had to take the MMPI. The thought was keep certain people out of this type of job. You see they don't want just anybody behind the counter of a pharmacy. The practice of giving this test has been dropped at the school I attended because of lack of reliability. At least that is what I was told by someone that is still on board there as an employee.
How is an 18 year old girl to answer: Are you happy with your sex life? I answered yes. The thought of someone asking me this and it being a requirement was unsettling to me. The guys giving the test said any girls that say no to that question can see them after the test.
Next were questions about when one is in the bathroom. How many of you have been taught this is not polite to talk about? Would it not be weird for a test to ask such stuff? And the test was so long. Some people may get tired and just not pay that much attention at the end and mark anything. Or some may be so stunned, traumatized or shocked their answers mean nothing. This test may have kept some from becoming what they had dreamed of all their life. Okay now it is thirty years later and I don't believe anybody has followed up any of those taking the test to see if it screened those people correctly.Remember the test is very accurate at 60%. I am sure it has dashed some one's career hopes or dreams. Does that sound worth giving the test? Here we have so much hippa that is hard to practice in the health care field. But this test can almost perform a personal privacy rape and not one person says a thing. Do some girls wonder if they are normal and make a swing toward sexual experimentation upon reflection of this test?
I recall a friend that was going to be a teacher taking one of these test. I think it was the MMPI but can't say that with complete recall. The test was not kind to her. She had to pass an interview with the complete Education faculty in order to stay in the teaching program. Today she is fine teacher of quite a few years. I think what she was really suffering was a lack of maturity at the time and too much freedom.
I now come to what has happened to me in the last three and half years. I had a wreck that resulted in me having a mild traumatic brain injury that was most likely made out to be worse than it was. I was originally treated only for two fractures but finally after pushing the hospital staff enough they treated another fracture. This left two other fractures and a rotator cuff to be dealt with by other physicians. There may have been one other fracture but the doctor that I trust said if it wasn't bothering me he saw no reason to x-ray it. It made sense to me. I also had to deal with vestibular dysfunction of central origin and tingling painful headaches. After being told my memories were false and I was not wearing my seat belt I still had a lot to deal with.......I know I need to close this soon....Let me try to be brief.
  1. In hospital ROSS Informational Processing tests says I'm okay. Further testing the next day with WJIII test of Cognitive abilities given when I was high on IV Morphine, Sublimaze and oral Lortab. I voiced my my desire to not participate in test that I learned later was being given by a graduate speech therapist student under another therapist, not present, that had been licensed less than one year. I was never told this could have a bearing on my career or if I had a husband that was a bad father, could have obtained custody at that time. My main goal was to get out of hospital and into a rehab one.
  2. At rehab hospital did fine except with speech therapist. In the hospital did okay with neuropsych it was later that I has issues with her advice. Again the speech therapist did not tell me her testing had a bearing on my career. An issue of flexibility came up. I really didn't pay much attention to her because my focus was on getting physically well. The test that showed I had flexibility issues is stupid. I filled in blank boxes on the basis of info given. She said what if I had to do it another way. I said is this correct. She said that is not the issue. I am like what then. How can you find a flaw in the logic if I was correct? How does this determine someone is inflexible? I can see how it might if I were working with stupid people that would not might argue my information was wrong. Then the discussion went to the fact that I was paid to be inflexible. I told her if I didn't think a drug order was filled correctly I would not let it go out the window. She was fit to be tied. She also went on to say how she had shown me to adapt to my problems by taking notes. I said you did nothing. I have always done better with a pen in my hand by writing things down.
  3. The speech therapist that I had during home health was also a pain with their testing. I was asked what a sun shinning, lemonade and a school bus might remind me of. I said my son coming home from school and having a refreshment on a nice day. Well I should have said yellow. What do kerosene, gasoline and oil have in common? I said they are all combustible fuels. Wrong she wanted the answer liquids. I was given some tasks to do...she could not do she said because she had read the directions recently. Well if she needs help she should not be giving the test or evaluating a person doing the tasks.
  4. Without going in to a long story I was vindicated in being proven right about having 2 more fractures but still felt out of sorts. I asked for counseling thing it was the mild brain injury. This neuropsychologist tried to help. Bear in mind they are considered the experts on how the brain injury has affected a person both emotionally and in fine motor function. She said I was bipolar and was before the accident. I was pretty moody. I was in pain and having bad headaches. What I had was missed by my very good PCP, neurologist and optometrist trained inn treating brain injured. It took some time but a vestibular test revealed dysfunction which could cause one to be tired, dizzy and complicate headaches. I would think it could contribute to my anger and short fuse. My research had shown that vestibular research could help. Yet, every time I asked her if the brain injury could have anything to do with my issues the answer was a big fat no. My neurologist put me on something for the headaches which helps but the therapy helped a great deal also.
  5. I could go one with more but I will leave you with this. If neuropsych's are the primary providers treating our military when they return, how many are getting the wrong treatment? It has been stated that those with brain injury often end up with a drug problem. Could it be that given the right test and treatment they might not end up that way? How many are put on mental health drugs that just need this therapy and some medication for real headaches?

New Health Care Law

The new health care law, is hurting millions of people right now. This new health care law should be optional not mandatory. People in office should not be aloud to tell me what kind of health insurance I am going to have, or pay out the rear in penalty's and if you don't pay, they take everything you have of value to get the money you so call owe them, in reality you owe them nothing. This makes me sick! Please get this new health care law out of law, before America goes down so deep in this whole we will never get out.

House Ceaning Time.

Thanksgiving being over it's House cleaning time.

Being the Leader in my house, I make all the rules and am in charge of carrying out all, and enforcing Punishment with needed. This Position comes with Great Responsibility and Great Moral Judgement, however the pay is only in the understanding that every leader is allowed to be in power under the Authority of God.

I do get to Clean my house as I see fit. Knowing that even as the Boss my 10 year old will reap the benefits of seeing that being a good leader is to be a Great Servant. This precept is laid down by the Lord Jesus when He Washed the Disciples feet at the Last Supper, then on the Cross when giving His life for our sin.

I say these things because the United States of America NEEDS A House Cleaning NOW!!!

We have a so called leader that,even as a supposed expert in Constitutional Law, seems to never have READ the Constitution. My 10 year old has pointed out several times in her studies that Obama has not followed the Law and should be "Put in Prison or Kicked out of being President".

I only teach the child, she didn't need to be told what to think. We don't waste any time with Liberal news outlets or outright lies from anyone.

If she ask me a question I simply State the Facts and let her decide.

In the Preamble of the Constitution for the United States of America States Thus:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The results of the actions of our current Dictator putting himself before both God, AND We the People can easily dealt with through these very words from the Constitution for the United States.

Article II Section IV

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

If Breaking the Laws, laid down by both the founding Fathers, God, and the Congress of the united states, by making laws by himself as he has been doing since elected, and Lying directly and Knowingly to every America, is not enough for impeachment of this criminal We the People are in Bad Shape.

When I clean my house I Throw Out The Trash.

When America cleans her house the, same needs to be done.

If it is only necessary to teach O'bummer the Constitution, my 10 year old is ready for an "intelligent" student. If O'bonehead has been "Educated Above his intelligence" maybe it's just what's needed.

God Bless America, my fellow Patriots.
