When one party
(Democrats, performing their best imitation of utter socialism) and one party only in the House of
Representatives passes a major health care bill affecting a commanding portion
of the national budget. . .when Rep. Nancy Pelosi tells what she assumes is a
gullible public that we have to pass the bill to know what's in it. . .when a
president lies to all by promising we can keep our same doctors and health
insurance. . .when a president considers granting exemptions for various
political friends and associates and donors. . .when special legislation allows
congressional staffers to have 75-percent of their health care subsidized by
taxpayers. . .when the employer mandate is delayed for a year, but not the
individual mandate. . .when James Hoffa, Jr. and other major union leaders
start screaming like hell about how the Affordable Care Act will destroy health
care plans for, not thousands, but millions of their members. . .when Supreme
Court Justice Roberts twists, turns and gut-churns the definition of what a tax
is in order to give the president what he wanted. . .when a society suddenly
realizes that the Internal Revenue Service will be given license to lord over
them like a jackbooted team of thousands to assure that you and your health
care money are spent the way the government wants it spent and directed. .
.when you come to the understanding that some 2700 pages of legislation did not
get written overnight, but took years for primarily one political party to
write. . .and when congressional staffers making six figures demand exclusions
and taxpayer subsidies because they don't feel they can afford Obama's Affordable.
. .you have Obamacare, so shut up, accept it and like it. Nice, huh?
Things could have been so much easier with American-style competition
over state lines, perhaps warranting a grand total of one or two pages of
government legislation. As things stand,
both a shortage of medical personnel and a wave of experienced medical folk
jumping ship may complicate this mess all the more. As mental health problems worsen in the
country, I think doctors and nurses might be counted among the newly-crazed
class.
I'm no political
genius, but when I see Democrats, Republicans and the mainstream media
absolutely hating Ted Cruz (a former prosecutor, by the way, who never held
political office -- refreshing. . .), Rand Paul and Mike Lee, and ridiculing
the Tea Party in utter terms of non-endearment, I know wha's up: The old guard is scared to death, fearful
that its power, wealth and god-like self-image could indeed be sacrificed on
the altar of public opinion come election time.
Meanwhile, typically, the media and the Dems predictably throw out the
only tattered and nearly mummified cards they have left -- Clinton hags Bill
and Hillary. Notice how, at least, the
Republican ex-prezes usually go away after they leave office and not pretend
they still rule?
Things could
change, but at this moment, frozen in time, I would much prefer to see Cruz and
Paul as presidential and vice-presidential candidates, and #$@^%$# Chris
Christie and #$*&$% Marco Rubio as
far as I'm concerned. Of course, chances
are Hillary will try again, as she tried previously (Remember? She wasn't particularly impressive during
previous debates), but this time she'll have the well-deserved baggage of
Benghazi and consistent failures clocked up as secretary of state as her
ball-and-chain. Will America remember? Will nitwits absorbed in little more than
electronic this-pads and that-pads, bad movies, games and sports (where fans
are too busy murdering one another) even notice?
A NO-UFO
ABDUCTION? Why does ol' Robert (that's me) back off
from so much of the contemporary UFO,
etc. "scene?" Well, this sort
of thing helps -- Various accounts suggest that when Dr. Steven Greer and his
bodyguards arrived to speak at the "Contact in the Desert" symposium
in August, they locked the doors and refused to let anybody out during the
session. Kinda hot in the desert, too,
we're told, even in the room. You can
get further details on the Web, but for my money I doubt it would have been a
bad thing if the whole building and most of its occupants had been abducted
and propelled far, far out into deep space.
Why would I write something so cruel?
Because I hoped the "New Age" claptrap went away with
molasses-thick hair gel. If one wishes
to use the term UFO and the word science in the same sentence and
expects the media and world to take you seriously, it isn't likely to happen at
something called "Contact in the Desert," nor did it happen at Giant
Rock. So-called UFO conferences
often become little more than meet-and-greets with a carnival atmosphere,
prettied up as clowns galore sell and impart their wares, all dolled-up with
artistically haunting images of wide-eyed aliens used for background decorations.
HOMELAND
INSECURITY: Why is a Homeland Security higher-up
a proud and active member of the internationally and deservedly condemned
Muslim Brotherhood? This is starting to
make some news in the states. For those
who need to know, the MB despises Western values and wants you, your mom and
your kids to either convert to strict Islam or die as they rebuild the empire
-- the Caliphate. In no way have these
folks been neutered in world influence, and it's right here in our front
yard. This White House has a funny way
of showing trust.
Thanks a lot,
John Kerry for
signing a new %$*&#$% United Nations arms treaty, which I'm not about to
believe won't affect American gun rights somewhere down the road. Fortunately, the U.S. Senate tends to defeat
these sweet little U.N. dictums which often seem intended to interfere with our
constitutional rights, sooner or later.
Just wondering: If enough military personnel become
disenchanted with the Commander-in-Chief (you know, the one who thinks corpsmen
are pronounced as corpse men) and bail out when their service comes up
for renewal -- would the military draft be reinitiated? I guess then we would find out how much young
people "love" their president, to say the least.
