"Healthcare Hookers Gone Wild....!!!"

Posted by Peary Perry on March 20, 2010 at 10:54am
A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry(sign up for new columns at www.pearyperry.com)“Health Care Hookers Gone Wild!!!)Donna Summer had a line in one of her songs that went like this… ‘I got what you want, you got what I need…beep, beep….’ This should be the theme song for the democrats who are changing their votes in favor of the healthcare bill this weekend.I’m not sure I’ll have enough time and space to list all of them, but here are the ones we know about so far:Nelson from Nebraska gets a deal to remove the citizens of his state from any healthcare payments. What about the other 49 states?Landrieu of Louisiana gets 300 million taxpayer dollars for her vote.The unions toss in their support in return for enhanced benefits and lower costs for union members.2 California representatives get an EPA ruling changed for their districts for their vote.Dennis Kucinich got a ride on Air Force One (wow!!!!)Scott Matheson managed to secure a judgeship for his brother for his vote.The State of North Dakota gets the only bank in the United States to provide student loans outside of the government.The speaker has announced that democrats voting against the bill will not, WILL NOT receive any party funds to help them in the November elections.The president has stated he will not, WILL NOT campaign for any democrat who votes against the bill.Does the concept of Judas receiving 30 pieces of silver come to your mind? It does mine.I’m certain there are many more that we don’t or won’t know about, but these are enough to make you sick to your stomach. Why not just buy off everyone, including the Republicans? Why not carve out a special deal for each and every vote you need for any piece of legislation in the future? Heck, it’s only money. We can always print more. We have tons of paper and ink and can keep the presses going 24/7 for 365 days a year just to keep you happy. The public be damned. Who cares what they think? Let’s get you rich and provide you with enough perks for the remainder of your life and not worry about the concept of fairness.No, the concept of “by the people, for the people, and of the people” is on its way out the door. It’s to be replaced with “All for one, and all for me…” which will be shouted through the halls of both houses of the congress if this passes tomorrow.The latest abomination is for the democrats to line up 217 votes, one more than needed. This is so their congressman can go home to their districts and proclaim that even if they had voted ‘no’ it wouldn’t have done any good since they only needed 216 to pass the matter.What a shame these people think we are so stupid and dull that we cannot see past something this corrupt. At this time over 50% of the voting population in this country thinks all members should be thrown out and for congress to start over again with new faces.Seems to me that was the basic idea back in 1776.Comments go to www.pearyperry.comComplaints go nowhere…..(sign up for new columns at www.pearyperry.com)

Government out of control

Posted by corrine c bobka on March 19, 2010 at 3:22pm
I believe our government is made up of crooks, liars and thieves and I am very much ashamed of all of them. I pray that their conscious will get the better of them and they will come to do the right thing. I certainly will vote against them in the next election.

SEND CONGRESSMEN A VIRTUAL POSTCARD

Posted by Darrel Scott on March 19, 2010 at 8:20am
Pepper blogged this site. It is great because you can send a virtual postcard--actually an email to those Congressman that we can't email because they are not our Congressman. And it is free or you may give a donation.

Here is the Link: http://servethepeople.gop.com/

Go to the site and send each Congressman a virtual postcard. And you get to choose a flag to go on the postcard.

This is so easy and covers all of them. I did it then forwarded the link on to all of my contacts. Well over 2 million postcards have been sent. Let's make it 3 million!

Maybe bamacare is a good thing!

Posted by jerry wegner on March 18, 2010 at 10:52pm
Being THE leader of the teaparty I was thinking perhaps we should hope they do get Bamacare past. It will raise such a ruckus that maybe it'll sweep all the progresives out all together. If it does pass we have to use a technique that the very progrssive Rahm Emanuel suggested: "Never Let A Serious Crisis Go To Waste." This will activate many more people into the tea party, and we surely should start working on getting rid of other progressive ways in our government that go back at least a century. This means we have to stay on it. We do have the perfect mechanism for this built into the government (because it is a republic), we just have to keep the right people in it. We have to remember that left leaning progressives lead to communism, while right leaning progrssives lead us to fascism (Nazis). We need to eliminate progressive Ideas from the federal government(i.e. we need to get back to a small central government) For me they would control national defence and a very little interstate commerice. We could not just make those changes 'right now', it took a over a hundred years to get here, it'll probably take even longer to back out of all the damage that was done, plus there will be more resistance from the progressives to get there than they got from the rest of us getting here. It may need several hundred years to succeed, that is the dedecation we need to keep from the slavery they will put us though if we don't stop them. In there fullness both communism and fascism is marked my a lot of mass murder by the government, and a complete breakdown in the end. The Chinese have a creeping capitalism going on, so they may excape the disasterous downfall the Germany and Russia found (Note how many very rich Russians there were when the USSR fell! (so much for the worker's paradise)) The Chinese had their killing splurges before Nixon went over there. After centuries, the Roman empire fell because of their entitlement programs were taking so much money they could no longed defend their borders. We have to make sure our schools teach this because we need them to carry on for us.

Consider this

Posted by J Suzanne Lindsey on March 18, 2010 at 4:50pm

One solution to the Washington D.C. morass is to hold a Constitutional Convention and revise the United States of America Constitution to replace the House of Representatives with direct, secure bill presentation and voting by “we the people”. This revision will have several benefits including, but not limited to:

1. By spreading the votes to the people it will make lobbying by special interest groups of this many individuals virtually impossible.

2. Conservative direct cost savings estimated at $10 billion per year will be realized because each Representative now has a staff and salary that averages 10 million dollars per year and there are currently 431 representatives.

3. The revision will maintain a system of checks and balances that our founders originally intended.

4. Direct voting by the people will provide incentive for citizens to stay involved because they will have influence on legislative outcomes.

5. Direct voting will also redirect the enormous amount of money (not included in direct savings above) that each representative must spend for re-election or election every two years. How effective and efficient can a representative be when that person is virtually running for re-election every two years?

6. This change in our Constitution will eliminate a dysfunctional component of our Federal government who refuses to listen to their constituents.

It is apparent that details regarding this direct voting by “we the people” need to be worked out as our founders did during the first Constitution “convention”. For example, there may be a need to organize citizen committees to present new bills or rescind laws. Another example is how to maintain and make available secure voting online to all of the citizenry.

A call for a Constitutional convention requires approval by two thirds of the states.

Senator Coburn....the man with cojones....

Posted by Peary Perry on March 18, 2010 at 2:52pm
By God…it looks like we have finally found one with some COJONES!!!!!!!!I logged onto his site and had my name put on his list for future financial support……I’ll sell a car to help this guy….Peary PerryA Nation of Foolswww.pearyperry.comMarch 18, 2010, 2:40 pmCoburn Warns Vote-Switchers on Health CareBy CARL HULSEThere are senators who use their power to block bills and nominations in the Senate, and then there is Senator Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma.Raising the bar on Republican opposition maneuvers in the Senate, Mr. Coburn on Thursday threatened to put future holds on any Democratic House members who switch their vote in favor of the health care bill, lose their election as a result next November, and then are rewarded with a high-ranking job in the Obama administration.“If you voted no and you vote yes and you lose your election and you think any nomination to a federal position isn’t going to be held in the Senate, I’ve got news for you, it’s going to be held,” said Mr. Coburn, a physician known somewhat affectionately around the Senate as Dr. No.Mr. Coburn, appearing at a news conference with 10 fellow Republican lawmakers who are also doctors, promised to scour upcoming spending bills for any special projects that may be given to lawmakers who reluctantly back the health care bill.“If you think you can cut a deal now and it not come out until after the election, I want to tell you that isn’t going to happen and be prepared to defend selling your vote in the House,” Mr. Coburn warned those making up their minds across the rotunda.With a vote in the House approaching, the intensity of the fight was being ratcheted up significantly on Capitol Hill with Republicans pulling out the stops against Democrats, and Democrats warning that the next few days would see a blizzard of Republican threats and misinformation.“There is no limit to what the other side will do to protect the insurance companies,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.Here is his website……http://coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactSenatorCoburn.homehttp://coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactSenatorCoburn.home--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PARTS OF THE Health CARE BILL pages 58 & 59

Posted by R.T. Hudgins on March 17, 2010 at 6:05pm

THIS IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE health CARE BILL

Judge Kithil of Marble Falls , TX -
HB3200 highlighted pages most egregious
Please read this........ especially thereference to

pages 58 & 59

JUDGE KITHIL wrote:

"I have reviewed selected sections ofthe bill, and find it unbelievable that our Congress, led by SpeakerNancy Pelosi, could come up with a bill loaded with so many wrong-headedelements."

"Both Republicans and Democrats areequally responsible for the financial mess of both Social Security andMedicare programs."
"I am opposed to HB 3200 for a numberof reasons.

To start with, it is estimated that a federalbureaucracy of more than 150,000 new employees will be requiredto administer HB3200. That is an unacceptable expansion of a governmentthat is already too intrusive in our lives. If we are going to hire150,000 new employees, let's put them to work protecting our borders,fighting the massive drug problem and putting more lawenforcement/firefighters out there."

JUDGE KITHIL continued: "Otherproblems I have with this bill include:
** Page 50/section 152: The bill willprovide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are hereillegally.

** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time accessto an individual's bank account and
will have the authority to make electronicfund transfers from those accounts.

** Page 65/section 164: The plan will besubsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retireesand for community organizations (such as the Association of CommunityOrganizations for Reform Now - ACORN).

** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposedunder this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody intheir right mind come up with that?)

** Page 241 and 253: Doctors willall be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will setall doctors' fees.

** Page 272. section 1145: Cancerhospital will ration care according to the patient's age.

** Page 317 and 321: The governmentwill impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communitiesmay petition for an exception.

** Page 425, line 4-12: The governmentmandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will berequired to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every fiveyears. (Death counceling.)

** Page 429, line 13-25: The governmentwill specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.

HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goeson:

"Finally,it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members ofCongress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the SocialSecurity system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers theirretirement needs.
If they were on our Social Security plan,I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan
financially sound for their future."

Honorable David Kithil

SHAME ON PELOSI'S "DEEM and PASS" TRICKERY

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on March 17, 2010 at 5:42pm

As Pelosi and Obama attempt to override our Constitution, we can let them know that's not okay. It seems they feel their word is the final word, and like it or not, they will do whatever it takes to make you their serf.

We fought to rid this country of dictatorial rule at the sacrifice of millions and millions of precious lives. It's Taxation Without Representation all over again.

"Cowards..."

Posted by Peary Perry on March 17, 2010 at 2:46pm
A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry“Cowards!!!!”So when is a door not a door? When it’s ajar….hahahaha.So when is a congressman (woman) not a congressman (woman)?When they hide and look for any method available to get out of standing up in the daylight for a vote on the healthcare disaster.The fact that they (our elected representation) believe that we (the voters) are too stupid and dumb to see what they are doing just highlights their arrogance. Trying to weasel around standing up in the daylight and announcing a yes or no position on an issue of this magnitude is cowardly at best. If the democrats are so proud of the healthcare package, why do they hide?If the democrats are so sure of the passage of this bill (which is opposed by a majority of Americans) why do they run from making a commitment or avoid a straight up and down vote?The answer is simple…they are scared and don’t’ want to be associated with what will happen in the future. A future that looms just over 200 days away. Oh, they want the benefits and the bribes that have been offered in lieu of changing their positions from a no vote to a yes vote.The senators from Louisiana and Nebraska can proudly point to the buyoffs they received for their votes. The unions can puff up their chests and brag about all of the benefits they have or will receive. And the house members who are selling their souls to the administration for as little as a ride on Air Force One can be pleased with their achievements. The two congressmen who are selling out today for water in California are pure prostitutes. There is no other word for their actions. Water is essential, but can they be so naïve to believe there aren’t strings attached to this early announcement made by the EPA? Why don’t they applaud the EPA early decision and still vote no? Because they have no spine, no backbone, no grit, no cojones. Perhaps they can get a job working for the farmers once the November elections are over.But let’s look at what they accomplished. Nothing, nada, zip, zero. If they change their votes or allow themselves to be bought off, they know and we know what they did. They can run, but they cannot hide. They will be remembered for what they did to subvert the process. The voting public, those who vote each and every election, not just the one promising…Hope and Change, will not allow this to continue. They will have their day in court or at the polls in the future. The internet is a powerful tool. How else could the words I’m writing have been disseminated to so many in such as short period of time ten or fifteen years ago? They couldn’t.No, the people who live in the lala land of the political world do not (for the most part) live where you and I do. They don’t have to abide by the same rules as we do. They won’t have to live under this healthcare bill if it passes.No, they are special. Or at least they think they are.Well, I’ve got news for them. They aren’t. And we know it. And we don’t like it. And we will do something about it if they vote on whatever rule, bill or whatever they dream up to get this monster passed. We know what the Constitution (article 1, section 7) says and it does not say what they are doing is legal. You cannot pass a piece of legislation that has not been even been completely written and magically ‘deem’ it to be voted upon. If that rule holds water then I believe I can put in a loan application at my bank and ‘deem’ that the loan committee voted in favor of accepting it. This concept is a total travesty of our political process.The democrats made a lot of fun last year over Sarah Palin with the ‘lipstick on a pig’ remarks. Well, this is a pig of gigantic proportions that is wearing more lipstick then I think can ever be wiped off.Comments go to www.pearyperry.com(sign up for new columns at www.pearyperry.com)

Glenn Beck Shows His Leadership in the Tea Party Movement

Posted by Steve Sullivan on March 17, 2010 at 9:30am

On his radio and television shows, Beck suggested any church promoting "social justice" or "economic justice" merely was using code words for Nazism and communism.


"I beg you look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church Web site," he said. "If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. ... Am I advising people to leave their church? Yes! If they're going to Jeremiah Wright's church, yes! "If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find anotherparish," he said. "Go alert your bishop and tell them, 'Excuse me, are you down with this whole social justice thing?' If it's my church, I'm alerting the church authorities: 'Excuse me, what's this social justice thing?' And if they say, 'Yeah, we're all in on this social justice thing,' I am in the wrong place."

DE-REGULATE INSURANCE COs.

Posted by Sallie K Cogswell on March 16, 2010 at 9:45am
Wow, who is missing the bus here! If we deregulate the medical insurance companies, they will have to do all of the work in conversions - this adds jobs & allows competition - the American way. But, NO, Obama wants to take over the insurance companies just like he did the auto companies (except Ford). Is his ego SO big that he has to push us into socialism? Our government can barely run itself let alone taking over private industry!

Thoughts from a Town Meeting

Not having grown up in New England, I thought of town meeting as aquaint, antiquated system that should have gone the way of thedinosaurs. Perhaps if it had, I thought, something useful like oilcould be produced; nothing useful could come from a group of peoplesitting around listening to other people treat picayune matters as ifthey were truly earth-shattering. Or so I thought. I was horriblywrong.

Recent experiences from an old-fashioned town meeting can restore faith in government, people, and our system.

Why ObamaCare Will Blow

Posted by Brando fontaine on March 15, 2010 at 3:59pm
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United NationsInternational Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who receivedtreatment within six months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S. 77%
England 40%
Canada 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:
U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":
U.S. 12%
England 2%
Canada 6%

I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" comparable to England or Canada . Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."
SHIP HIS ASS TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !
He is "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high-end coverage! He will never have to learn to accept "inconveniences"!!!
AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!
the percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to thecabinet. You know what the private business sector is... a real lifebusiness, not a government job. Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt........ 38%
Taft.....................40%
Wilson .................. 52%
Harding..................49%
Coolidge.............. 48%
Hoover................. 42%
F. Roosevelt......... 50%
Truman..................50%
Eisenhower........... 57%
Kennedy.............. 30%
Johnson.................47%
Nixon................... 53%
Ford..................... 42%
Carter.................. 32%
Reagan...................56%
GH Bush................. 51%
Clinton ................. 39%
GW Bush................ 55%
And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is:
Obama................ 8% !!!
Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent!!!..the least by far of the last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me? How can the president of a major nation and society...the one with the most successful economic system in world history... stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?.. or about jobs when he has never really had one??! And neither has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers.! They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs....or as "community organizers" when they should have been in an employment line.

"And they're off and running.."

Posted by Peary Perry on March 15, 2010 at 3:37pm
A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry“And they’re off and running….”Here we are here in the last week before the BIG vote on healthcare….or Obamacare or diastercare or runinationofamericacare. You call it whatever you want, but that’s what I choose and so far it’s still legal for me to express my opinion. This may change soon, so I need to be quick.The president of this country came out today and announced that he will not campaign for any democrat who votes against this bill. In a way that may be a good thing after what happened in New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts. The problem I have with this entire business is the sordid method in which this process has taken place. The voting on this bill is being influenced by bribes as well as payoffs to whoever and whatever with our money in order to secure the votes necessary for passage. I don’t care what you believe this is not right. Selling your vote for political largesse is the same as prostitution. You might call it politics; I call it being a, well you know what the word is.I suspect that if you’re reading this column, you probably agree with me and don’t need any more lectures on what we must do to stop this horrible piece of legislation. Since no one has actually read all 2300 pages of this bill which has parts still unwritten, then the phrase taxation without representation comes to my mind. I happen to live in a Republican controlled district, so taking my congressman to task is not an option. He already has said he will vote no when it comes up.What I will do is suggest that those friends and associates of mine who do live in a democratically controlled district keep calling, faxing, writing and e-mailing for as long as they have the strength to do so. Bear in mind that a lot of congressmen turn their fax machines off or don’t answer their phones to avoid talking to you. Do not give up, you must continue to push.You and I know that this present administration is pulling out all of the stops to cajole and bribe anyone who is sitting on the fence and who remains uncommitted. Is this the American way? Is this ethical? No, of course not, but we’re dealing with people without ethics. People who justify the ends by whatever means possible. Treachery has no limits when it comes to the present day occupants of this White House. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln must be turning in their graves.I don’t need to tell you this; you already know it as well as anyone. What I would like to suggest to you is to bone up on the facts of this issue. For one thing, we all agree that the healthcare industry is broken and needs to be fixed. But there are ways to do so without bankrupting this country or promising favors to ever Tom, Fred (you can’t use the real word or the PC police will grab you) and Harry congressperson that comes down the pike with their hand out. If you ever have owned a business, if you have ever worked for a for-profit business then I ask you… do you honestly think you can insure all of the people in this country with the same level of care we now have without the costs increasing? There are people out here who are naïve enough to believe this. These are the people who are more interested in what the folks attending the Academy Awards are wearing or talking about than they are interested in how their elected representatives are going to vote.When the late night comedians do their ‘man on the street’ routines and ask questions such as … ‘Who is buried in Grant’s tomb?’ Or ‘can you give me the name of the vice-president of the United States?’ and they cannot make an intelligent answer, I cringe to think these are Americans who can actually vote. I am ashamed of them.I have been remiss in these postings for the past week or so because of my dog being sick and in the hospital (see: http://www.pearyperry.com/letters.htm) but in spite of this, I think we cannot afford to give up the fight. We must press on with our opinions and our commitment to voting those out in November who take the bribes and vote in favor of this abomination.Comments go to www.pearyperry.com(sign up for new columns at www.pearyperry.com)

AMERICA LOVES CONSERVATISM

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on March 15, 2010 at 12:31pm

Why are we a center right country? Possibly because after decades and decades of liberal intervention, the American people know what they have to do to survive -- keep them out of power. But, every so often the Libs need to be in power to remind us of their tyrannical rule. The problem is that they have done it so many times, government takeovers have grown by leaps and bounds. Just look at what's happened over the past 14 months with long standing banks, long standing car companies, insurance companies, education, and healthcare.
