Obama is squawking to the voters still willing to show up at his speeches, that Republicans could roll back his agenda if Republicans prevail on Tuesday, 11/2. He says "all the progress we've made over the last couple of years can be rolled back."
WELL, YES, MR. NEOLIBERAL PRESIDENT, THAT IS EXACTLY THE POINT! IT'S WHAT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WORKING TOWARDS SINCE YOUR INAUGURATION DAY AND YOU STARTED US DOWN THE PATH OF SOUL-DESTROYING MARXISM.
OUR CHANGE STARTS NOVEMBER 2, 2010. IT CONTINUES THROUGH 2012 AND AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO CUT THE FEDERAL DEFICIT, BALANCE THE BUDGET, GET TERM LIMITS PASSED AND REPLACE ALL OF THE PARTNERS-IN-CRIME CURRENTLY RUNNING OUR GOVERNMENT.
DUH!

RON KIND PLAYS HARDBALL FOR BIG BUCKS
Following up my post of 10/26, here is more information about Ron Kind, 3rd Congressional District incumbent, apparently selling his services to constituents. Kind was asked about this in a debate and he denied it. But think about it. Would highly respected doctors sign affidavits and make these claims if it didn't really happen? Would they risk their reputations and future relationship with Kind if it didn't happen? If Kind stays in Washington he could wield intensely vindictive power, and their assertions would most certainly come back to haunt the good doctors, their clinic and their hospital.
CLICK HERE for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel On Line article
As to why the doctors didn't come forward in 2007? My theory is fear of reprisal from Kind and his Washington cronies.
There could be more claims coming from other groups who experienced the same extortion tactics. Stay tuned to your news outlet.
But read these articles to the end. Kind has other problems. He has an ethics issue regarding a group called the New Democrats, which Kind is a vice-chair of. The group holds meetings with lobbyists for various businesses and then hits them up for donations to the New Democrat's PAC. Sounds like pay-to-play politics, doesn't it? Hopefully enough voters will see this for what it is and fire Ron Kind on Nov. 2.

WITHOUT AMERICA, THERE IS NO FREE WORLD
Lt. Gen W.G. Boykin discusses Marxism's insidious march into American society. He is highly educated and has vast experience in identifying Marxism. PAY ATTENTION! Marxism is breathing down our collective necks.
Obama is in breach of our Constitution, Congress is in breach of our Constitution, and the Courts are in breach of our Constitution. The Tree of Liberty is dieing a slow but steady death.
Watch the whole video and then YOU decide how close we are to losing our Republic, our Constitution and the freedoms that generations of Americans have fought and died for. And then vote on 11/2 as if our very existence depended on it, because it does.

THE GREAT DOUBLE SHUFFLE
So here's Joe Miller, great conservative candidate running for the Senate from Alaska. He managed to defeat the Republican incumbent, Lisa Murkowski, in the primary, after which Ms. Murkowski resolved not to run as a write-in. But she lied. She is running as a write-in. No honor from her court.
Because Lisa M. and the Dems are running behind Joe, Ms. M and the Dems petitioned the courts to force Joe to release his employment records from a law firm he used to work for. And the court said oh, yes, Joe, you MUST make public your employment record. So he did.
What's the DOUBLE SHUFFLE you ask? This is it. Many people and groups have been trying to get lots of courts nationwide to force It's-None-Of-Your-Business Obama to make public his birth certificate, college and work records. So far no court in the land has said oh, yes, Barack Hussein, you MUST make these things public. So he hasn't. And he's the President, someone we have the right to know these things about.
Better yet, his Supreme Court nominee Kagen, when she was Solicitor General, routinely dismissed lawsuits and petitions requesting this information. Shot them down post haste. Her appointment to the Supreme Court? Payola Big Time.
DOUBLE SHUFFLE, DOUBLE STANDARD? You be the judge.

PROMINENT SURGEON CALLS OBAMACARE WHAT IT IS - A NIGHTMARE!!
Want to find out what Dr. David Janda, a prominent Ann Arbor, MI surgeon has to say about Obamacare? Dr. Janda has been on an education campaign in the Detroit area to let people know what Obamacare is REALLY going to do , and he spoke before a congressional committee on the subject. When he says Obamacare started with the stimulus bill he is right. There are many, many health care provisions laying-the-groundwork in the stimulus bill. But, Golly, I must have missed Obama mentioning that the stimulus bill contained health care creepy crawlies.
Watch the video TO THE END, and discover that if doctors don't "go along" with the rules and requirements of Obamacare starting 2013, they can be fined $100,000 and jailed. That's what he was told by the congressional committee. A Mighty Big Fine or The Big House.
This should chill you to the bone. It should also make you go to the polls on 11/2 and cast your vote AGAINST anybody currently representing us in Washington who voted for this unspeakable intrusion into our relationship with our health care providers. If they voted for it knowing what was in it, they have to GO! If they voted for it without reading it, they have to GO!
FIRE THEM, ALL OF THE YEA VOTES. If you don't fire them now they will be left in Washington to do more damage to our freedom and our Constitution. It's our last chance.
AND PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW, BEFORE 11/2!

CORRECTION, IT'S NOT AN OBAMA PHONE!
CORRECTION, IT'S NOT AN OBAMA PHONE
As promised when I started this blog, I will always admit it if I have posted incorrect information. I try to do extensive research and haven't had to clarify or change anything so far, but here goes my first clarification.
In my post on this subject I said I couldn't track down where this program came from. Turns out this free phone nonsense was started under Reagan (it's nonsense no matter who started it), and it has been expanded upon and changed over the years. So I apologize, it should not be called the Obama Phone. It could be called the Reagan Ringer or the Government Gabber, but no matter what it is called with a multi-trillion dollar deficit it shouldn't be happening. Cuts need to be made everywhere. We no longer have the money to frivolously spend here, there and everywhere.
One other fact? It is administered by phone companies and partially paid for by federal and state fees attached to your phone bills. So we are still footing the bill. The phone companies who administer this program? They outsource their customer service to India. Too bad that the "fees" we pay are not used to provide Americans with jobs.

FREE OBAMA PHONE, GET YOURS HERE!
Got an email today regarding a person who claimed to have a new "Obama phone." Being a skeptic and never wanting to post something that isn't true, I set off on a mission to check it out. Didn't take me very long. I found so much information that I needed a barf bag.
This is the real deal, Folks. And I will give you a link below for you to check it out yourself.
Here is what I found out: SafeLink Wireless is a government supported program that provides free cell phones and airtime each month to "income-eligible" customers. To qualify? Well, you must be on welfare, SSI, Food Stamps, Energy Assistance, Medical Assistance, or other programs, and have income of no more than $50,000. Yes, that's right, $50,000.
Do you get it? YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING USED TO PROVIDE WIRELESS PHONE SERVICE TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS.
So here we are, $14 trillion in debt, Congress is not going to continue unemployment benefits to THOSE WHO WANT TO WORK, while increasing the dole-out to dead beats. And we are paying for it. Oh, gosh, we are paying for our own wireless service too.
No wonder the USA is sinking in a sea of debt. "Hope and Change?" The country has changed, all right, changed to "Why should I work for it when I can get it for free."
Check it out at the link below. THE OBAMA PHONE IS VERY REAL. I haven't been able to determine which massive spending bill this little nugget was buried in, but it might be a good idea to call your Congressman and Senators and ask them -- if they will even talk to you. Tell them that anyone who voted for this needs a phlebotomy. Then ask them which bill it was in and how they voted.
You can find links to their government web sites on the right side of my blog. Post back and let me know what excuse they gave you.
CLICK HERE for the facts, but be prepared to be fuming mad.

MULTILINGUAL VOTING CHAOS COMING SOON TO AN ELECTION NEAR YOU
Did you see it on TV today? There are communities in America who have referendum questions on their ballots that would allow non-residents to vote in municipal elections. Yea, that's right, crazy as it may sound, it's true.
The argument being made by the League of Young Voters is that people who are here legally but are not citizens should be able to vote on issues that affect their pocketbooks and their children. The politically correct position is "oh, my, they live here, they work here, their kids go to school here, so they should be able to vote here." The argument is that "this aligns with what the founders of this country believed, no taxation without representation."
After hearing about this I was left shaking my head, asking myself where in the world do American citizens get their civic education? "Taxation without representation" applies to non-citizens? Where in the Constitution or Bill of Rights does it say that?
Ideally voters should get educated about candidates and issues, but if you are not a citizen why would you care? Legal immigrants may be enticed to vote for policies regarding illegal immigration, more social programs, bilingual education in the schools, things that benefit only immigrants.
And the biggest issue? Without having gone through the becoming-a-citizen process, how do legal immigrants know anything about our Constitution, you know, little things like the 3 branches of government and how they are supposed to work together, and our legal and court system? They may lack sufficient knowledge about our political institutions and issues to cast an intelligent vote.
The question I have is why don't these people who want to have a voice in our government just become citizens? Well, the process can take 3-5 years, but the biggest reason they don't go through the citizenship process is because many of them CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH well enough to pass the citizenship test.
So I ask you, if legal immigrants are not able to speak our language, THAT IS ENGLISH IN CASE ANYONE HAS FORGOTTEN, then how are they supposed to be able to read a ballot? Oh, I forgot, they will probably be given ballots in their native language.
This is a big deal because there are millions of non-citizen immigrants living here. Yes, I know, the proposal right now is that they should have the right to vote on local issues. But therein lies the first step towards open voting for everyone. This is just another opportunity for rampant voter fraud and a total distortion of our electoral process.
Enough said.

WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING
Hey, Folks, you've probably heard about this but I will confirm it. Obama and Janet Napolitano have, yessiree, appointed two devout Muslims to Homeland Security. Arif Alikhan and Kareem Shora, both self proclaimed devout Sunni Muslims, in 2009 were sworn in by Baracko and Janet to serve in Homeland Security as "security advisers."
Now doesn't that make you feel safer already?
But perhaps Baracko and Janet had already forgotten that it was "devout Muslim Men" who killed over 3,000 Americans on 9/11 and shot up Fort Hood and tried to hide a bomb in his shoe and planted a car full of explosives in New York City and blew a hole in the side of the USS Cole, and killed over 300 Marines in Lebanon, and I could go on and on.
When the next big one happens the blame can be put directly at the feet of Obama.

NATIONAL PROGRESSIVE RADIO HAS FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE!
NPR (National Public Radio), a tax payer backed media outlet, has finally shown their true colors when they FIRED Juan Williams, a 10-year NPR news employee, because he went on Bill O'Reilly and told the truth. That truth is that when he gets on a plane and there are Muslims dressed in Muslim garb he becomes a little uncomfortable. He only said what millions of Americans feel. But of course, that's not the Politically Correct thing to say. Are you not sick to death of Political Correctness??
And wham, bam, the hammer came down on Juan. But the real truth is that billionaire George Soros, Obama's checkbook, as far left a progressive liberal as anyone can be, last week donated $1.8 million to NPR. And this week Juan gets axed. Anyone see the collusion? Juan appears on Fox News as a liberal news pundit. Therefore, NPR said bye, bye, Juan.
And the US taxpayer also gives money to NPR, many, many millions, to fund their far left liberal radio stations. The Republicans have many times over the years introduced bills in Congress to "DEFUND" NPR and other taxpayer supported media, like the National Endowment For The Arts. They have consistently been shot down by the Democrats. Let's hope that this time they are successful. With a looming multi-trillion deficit we cannot afford to spend money on anything other than absolute necessities, and NPR doesn't qualify.
Watch Juan Williams' actual words and then decide for yourself.

UNION CAMPAIGN ADS FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS
We are winding down to November 2, and with Obama screaming about the Chamber of Commerce accepting foreign campaign contributions, which isn't true, but Obama doesn't care about truth, we now find out who the REALLY BIG CAMPAIGN SPENDERS are. It's AFSCME, the largest public employees' union.
AFSCME has spent $88 million to influence this election. And most of it spent to keep Democrats in control of Washington. And where does AFSCME get all that money? UNION DUES paid by their members. And their members are paid by states, feds, school districts and municipalities. And the money for their wages, benefits and pensions comes FROM US!
Oh, I almost forgot. The public employee unions also got $160 billion in stimulus money to prop up union wages, pensions and benefits. And don't forget the $30 million Obama gave the teachers' union to save their jobs.
What a round Robin joke this is. Obama/Dems give the unions more than $160 billion of YOUR MONEY, the unions pay wages/benefits to their members with YOUR MONEY, the unions charge their members an average of $360 in union dues, again, YOUR MONEY, which is then used to directly influence upcoming elections so that the Dems can keep control of the purse strings and continue to bail out the unions and public employees with YOUR MONEY.
In the meantime, can you still pay your bills? Is your house in foreclosure? Is your house worth less than your mortgage amount? How much has your retirement fund lost? Do you still have a job? Or are you afraid of losing your job? Do you still have health insurance? Can you pay your kid's college bills? Can you put gas in your car and food on the table? Or is it getting harder and harder to take care of things. Uncertainty and Fear? You bet! Yet the unions have a guaranteed source of revenue - YOU AND ME.
In the last 2 years Washington spent over $1 trillion each year with little or no result. They just ran their second yearly deficit of over $1 trillion. And since they spent all this money? Unemployment is up and growth is down.
But a select group of American workers have been shielded from this stinking recession. Their jobs, benefits, retirement, insurance have all been saved -- by YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
Let's put the unions on notice. This country can no longer afford you. We can't afford your guaranteed salaries, benefits and pensions. We can no longer afford the cost of these bloated and expensive contracts that the Democrats continue to give you. We can not afford to support ourselves and you too.
There are more government workers in unions today than in private employment. And with the rapid expansion of the federal government in the last 2 years that number continues to grow. The non-government worker simply cannot pay for this any longer.
We are going to put an end to this madness on November 2. So get ready.

DEMOCRATIC FORTUNE TELLING
GREAT VIDEO. The DemoBrats in their own words looking into their Crystal Ball and warning us about their magic scheme to "fundamentally change" America. Pay attention to the dates, and be sure to listen carefully to Barnie Frank's words about housing. And the next time someone says the housing crisis and recession were caused by Bush send them this video.
The Dems have waved their Sorcerer's Wand and cast their Voo Doo Spell in an attempt to fulfill their chicanery. Thank goodness they will be Exorcised on Nov. 2.

INCUMBENTS BEWARE!
Did you see the Rasmussen Report today? Seems they did a national telephone survey that finds most Likely Voters believe their representative does not deserve re-election if they voted for Obamacare, the auto bailouts or the $787 billion stimulus package. And I couldn't agree more.
The Day of Reckoning is only two weeks away. Finally, these arrogant Obomacrats will be FIRED!
And as for Obama's statement that we are "confused and scared?"
Well, you are wrong, Mr. Pretend President. We are not confused. But yes, we are scared. We are scared of you and your czars and the slimy maneuvers your gang-of-progressive-cronies is using to "fundamentally change" the greatest country on earth. You are the biggest scammer ever to set foot inside the White House. You lied, lied, lied to get yourself elected, and you continue to lie, lie, lie today.
I can hardly wait until you are SHUT DOWN when the new Congress takes office in January. The Lame Duck session from November to January? Oh, yeah, a skunk doesn't change its stripes. You will continue your foul-smelling, putrid agenda of creating as much chaos as you can while trying to bring us down.
And that's okay, Mr. Pseudo President. It just gives the new Congress more to REPEAL.

Well, well, Obama fessed up yesterday. He believes there is no such thing as a "shovel-ready job."
But wait, you say, wasn't "shovel-ready" jobs one of Obama's and the Dem's main selling points while shoving the stimulus package down our throats? That's all we heard on TV was how the almost $1 trillion will go immediately to "shovel-ready" jobs and will so stimulate the economy that unemployment won't go above 8.5%. In fact, Obama pledged that his "bold agenda" of "shovel-ready projects" would create 2.5 million new jobs. I got so sick of hearing the "shovel-ready" term that I wanted to hit someone with a shovel! Because I didn't believe a word of it.
And months later when the economy hadn't started to turn around Obama said it again. And months after that he bragged about it again stating that stimulus money helped fund "100 shovel-ready projects.... which are beginning to create jobs." And Biden's hum-drum has been the same spurious deception.
But after 2 years and unemployment not moving under 9.5%, and probably more like 17% when under employed and the aren't-looking-anymore are counted, Obama finally admits his own Stupidity. Or is it his Lack of Experience? Or maybe he's just Inept?
"THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SHOVEL-READY PROJECTS." Those are Obama's exact words.
We Doubters knew it all along. Want my opinion? I think the Pretender President should be impeached and tried for treason. He's not fit to be a dog catcher, much less the President of the U.S. He ran for office trying to convince the American public he had a brain. He obviously doesn't.

THIRD PARTY PUTTING THE PEDAL TO THE METAL
Did you hear Rush Limbaugh's opening monologue today wherein he chastised the GOP? He fears the Reps will regain control of Washington and then revert to their business-as-usual conduct. But wait, he doesn't just fear it, he expects it. In the past the Reps have been complicit in sending America over the cliff.
But I have somewhat more faith than Rush does, though it will depend on which Republicans get elected. The new, young Republicans who are as angry as I am about what is happening may be willing to make the changes we so desperately need to save us from destruction. But if more John McCains get elected the Republicans will be lost forever, just like the Democrats will be after 2 more years of Obama.
Depending on what the Reps do, we may have a real Third Party by 2012. And so be it.

CHEAP STUNT, SENIORS WORTH ONLY $250
Hey, Seniors, did you hear how much Obama thinks your vote is worth? It was all over the news today. Obama and the Dems want to give you a nice LITTLE rebate check because you didn't get a Social Security cost-of-living increase in 2010. And I'm sure you have not forgotten that you didn't get one in 2009 either.
Today Obama and the Dems determined that YOUR VOTE IS WORTH ONLY $250. That's the amount they are proposing to send you. And their hope is that by sending you $250 you will not massacre them on Nov. 2.
But as usual, Obama/Dems have not come up with a plan to pay for yet another give away. Now, Seniors, understand that I would love to see you get a check, no matter how small. But more than that, I would like to see Obama/Dems actually pay for their bribe, for instance, by cutting some other program to obtain the funds. All this buying-of-your-vote will do is drive this country even further into debt. I think their $250 chicanery is not worth the price we will pay.
But I know something Obama and the Dems don't. I know that you are all too smart to fall for this Cheap Stunt. With Obama's track record I wouldn't be surprised if the promise is made before the election and rescinded after the election. That's about how much you can trust anything the Deceiver in the White House says.
SENIORS, DON'T FALL FOR THIS. VOTE ON NOV. 2 LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT - BECAUSE IT DOES.

PHONY BALONEY AND A BIG FAT LIE
Following up to my post of 10-11 regarding Obama's charges that the Chamber of Commerce is accepting foreign donations and "that's illegal," what a flaming HYPOCRITE he and the DEMS are.
A new analysis from the Center for Responsive Politics has revealed that the Dem Party has raised more than $1 million from PACs that are affiliated with foreign companies.
So while Obama has soundly criticized the Supreme Court, The Chamber of Commerce and Republicans over sham charges that foreign money is tainting elections, leaders in his own party have taken more than a million dollars from the foreign candy dish.
With the election only a few weeks away the Democrats say they plan to continue attacking the Republicans and conservative groups, i.e., The Chamber of Commerce, over POSSIBLE foreign funding of political ads. Note the word they used - POSSIBLE. They have no proof backing up any of their allegations. If they did they'd be shouting it from the roof top and "leaking" it to every left-wing liberal media in the country. This is just another diversion with the sole purpose of keeping our focus off of the real issue - NO JOBS.
This is stunning hypocrisy, and Obama is a bold-faced liar.

FORECLOSURE FOLLY GETS DOWN AND DIRTY
Courts, borrowers and lawyers are in for a mucky dip in the MUD. And the only ones who will make a clean get away are the lawyers. The Foreclosure Folly mess is ripe for lawyerly enrichment to the max.
A number of large lenders have suspended foreclosure proceedings in 25 states, and that number is growing. It seems like the lenders have hired "Robo Signers" to execute foreclosure paperwork, they were so anxious to get their hands on your house. Now wouldn't you think that the banks would have enough sense to hire people who actually know what a Promissory Note is, or what a Mortgagee is, or what a Notary is? But no, the banks hired construction workers, food service workers, hospitality service workers, and many others who had zero, zippo experience in the financial industry. They hired these people to "Robo" sign documents to facilitate foreclosure proceedings against homeowners, gave them little or no training and put them behind a desk with the POWER OF KEEPING A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD IN THEIR HANDS.
There has been sworn testimony by some of the "Robo" signers that they signed many thousands of documents per month, submitting affidavits that confirmed the accuracy of the information in those documents, but that they had in fact not verified any of the information. Basically their job was lickety split and full speed ahead with foreclosures.
Now for a look at the bigger picture. What were bank regulators doing while mischief and mayhem were in full swing? And while the biggest lenders in the U. S. routinely filed false foreclosure documents in courthouses throughout the country? Well, in the case of one large bank it turns out that the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp) was running the scam. This explains why the banking industry got away with such grievous misbehaviour for so long. The government was doing it too, even though the government was charged with preventing just such a romp in the pigpen sludge.
For years the leaders of the Federal Reserve have been assuring the public that there were on site examiners/regulators at all of the country's largest banks. But the regulators did nothing to stop the abuse. Were they clueless? Or did they allow it to go on to keep the foreclosure slaughter house open?
And to think Obama/Congress just gave the banking regulators, including the FDIC, even more authority under the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act. Seems like the more the government fails, the more power they grab. And the more power they grab, the bigger the failure.
The bottom line? The housing market will crash and burn even worse than it already has. Market values of homes? Watch for the prices to sink even lower as soon as all the forestalled foreclosures flood the market all at the same time.
Thanks, Washington, for taking such good care of an industry you bailed out and own part of.
Such a touchy, feely, hopey and changey job you have done at the expense of Americans everywhere, and Obama said he was going to clean up Washington.

PRAISE OBAMACARE AND PASS THE AMMUNITION
Here's the latest silver bullet aimed at Obamare. Another reason to shoot it down quickly.
Starting January 1, 2011, more than 15,000 over-the-counter medications cannot be reimbursed tax-free from Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) without a prescription.
Approximately 10 million Americans are covered under HSA/FSA plans for their families' health care needs. Those families contribute tax free money to HSAs and then can withdraw it to pay for their health care needs, including over-the-counter medications. That will all stop faster than a speeding bullet on January 1, 2011, thanks to Obamacare.
Following is a list, compiled by Congressman John Fleming, M.D., of some of the over-the-counter medications that will soon require a prescription for a tax-free withdrawal from an HSA/FSA under Obamacare.
acid controllers
allergy and sinus medications
antibiotics
anti-gas products
anti-itch and insect bite
baby rash ointments/creams
cold sore remedies
cough, cold and flu
digestive aids
pain relievers
respiratory treatments
stomach remedies
SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU? The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that this provision of the all encompassing Obamacare will cost American families $5 billion. Hey, Barack, what happened to "NO NEW TAXES?"
And think about this! We don't have enough doctors to handle what Obamacare will require. How are they going to have time for appointments to prescribe Tums, Maalox, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and on and on?
Fleming has introduced a bill (H.R. 5126) to roll back these taxes on over-the-counter medications. But I would ask why doesn't Fleming's bill repeal all of Obamacare? Come on, Mr. Fleming, muster up some grit, take aim and fire. It's a huge target.
Now how many Dems do you think will support Fleming's small attempt to kill this provision of Obamacare? I would guess NONE. I urge you to contact your representatives to find out whether they will support H. R., 5126. And then remember their response when you vote in two weeks.

OBAMA DISSES ISRAEL AND THE U.S. WILL PAY FOR IT
It's been pretty clear that the Obama administration has alienated Israel and has destroyed the U. S. relationship with that country. I was sent the following information. I have checked out the site where this appeared. Check it out for yourself. And then call your representatives and ask them if they support Obama's position on Israel or if they will voice their support for Israel. Remember that when Iran gets a nuclear bomb their first target will be Israel. The U. S. will be their second target. Obama's treatment of our only dependable Middle East ally is reprehensible. The rest of our "so-called" Middle East allies are corrupt thieves.

FREE ISN'T FREE!
What do you think when you hear the word "free?" If you are like me you know that NOTHING is FREE, EVER. So when Obama says your health care under Obamacare is "free" you can bet it isn't.
What he doesn't tell you is that you will be paying for 100% of your preventative services up front in the form of increased premiums. Are you one of the millions of Americans who has received a health insurance premium increase? Well, one reason is the "free" preventive care. Another is the "free" diagnostic care. Another is insuring kids on their parent's policies until the age of 26. And the biggest reason? The elimination of lifetime caps. Obamacare says to insurance companies, you MUST pay all bills, no matter what, for a lifetime. Therein lies the biggest reason your premiums have gone up and will continue to go up.
Think about it. If your car insurance or home owners insurance suddenly had no caps those premiums would rise dramatically too. If you subscribe to cable TV and pay for 25 channels your cable company cannot suddenly say channels 23, 24 and 25 are free. You are already paying for them. Good grief, Washington must think Americans are too stupid to figure it out.
The insurance companies are currently operating on a 4% net profit margin. That is not an unreasonable percentage for a business. But when they have to cover all of the mandates in Obamacare the money has to come from somewhere. The insurance companies cannot cover everything and still make their measly 4% profit. When you get more coverage, you have to pay more. The Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny simply do not exist.
According to Obama's own projections your premiums are going to soar much higher than if Obamacare had not passed, and this is going to happen until 2019 and into the stratosphere.
And guess what? Many Congressmen and Senators who voted for Obamacare are now acting surprised by what is happening with premiums. They are trying to distance themselves from Obamacare. They are claiming they didn't know about the premium increases.
But don't fall for their false pretenses of "ignorance." They were warned by the Congressional Budget Office last March, BEFORE they voted for the bill, that it would dramatically raise premiums.
They knew they were voting to take money out of your pocket and despite a massive outcry from Americans against the bill, they voted for it anyway. They stepped all over us.
November is coming. Don't forget what they did to us on Election Day.

STIMULUS POT OF GOLD GOES TO GE
While Obama and the DemoBrats want to distract you with stories about the Chamber of Commerce, CSNews.com reports that Obama gave corporate giant General Electric - the parent company of NBC - $24.9 million in stimulus grant money. GE is run by Jeff Imeldt who is bosom buddies with Obama and sat on Obama's economic advisory board. And NBC is Obama's personal media cheer leader.
GE is also one of the two companies who are being paid billions to develop the federal database where our medical records will be required to be stored. You didn't know that? Oh, yeah, one of those pesky details of Obamacre that they failed to mention before the brainless in Washington voted on it. Why GE was awarded this contract, with little to no experience in database development, rather than Google, is no mystery. It's Pay Back Time, and we the taxpayer are ponying up the cash for Obama's Pay Back Slush Fund.
What did all the money to GE go for? Recovery.gov posts brief explanations of each grant. For example, the Department of Justice gave GE $999,955 in stimulus money. "The goal of this program," said Recovery.gov, "is to develop a comprehensive reasoning system for event and scenario recognition for an intelligent video system." Well, that's about as clear as mud, don't you think?
In addition to the $24.9 million it received in stimulus grants, GE was also awarded $5 million in federal contracts under the economic stimulus law. And there are likely billions more that GE received through numerous other government programs that have yet to come to light.
And while sucking up government cash with a vengeance, GE eliminated 18,000 U.S. jobs in 2009, according to their annual report. Thanks, GE, for using OUR stimulus money to provide US with jobs. And thanks, Obama, for giving away OUR money and getting nothing in return.
Obama's "gotta-pass-it-now-or-we-are-doomed" stimulus bill was supposed to create jobs, not eliminate them. But here we are, unemployment still hovering around 10%. This is precisely why we never got the "jobs" we were promised. The stimulus bill was a huge political slush fund to pay back Obama supporters.
But don't you worry. You won't have to pay for it.....Your children will.

HYPOCITE IN CHIEF IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Obama's hyper-attack on the U. S. Chamber of Commerce underscores the routine bull-dog actions his administration has become known for. He accuses the Chamber of using foreign money to influence this election. Is this man kidding?
Where does he think campaign contributions came from for his 2008 run for president? There were reports throughout the campaign that illegal money was flowing into his coffers from foreigners. His on line campaign contribution system routinely accepted money from people like Mickey Mouse and others that were obviously illegal. Any of these could have come from a foreigner, and Obama's response when asked about it? It was too much work and time to monitor where all of the contributions came from.
Now he's got the gall to question where campaign donations are coming from? He truly is the biggest jokester who ever occupied the White House.
Obama's current bogus smear attempt is deeply hypocritical. His buddy, George Soros, solicits money from foreign companies and then donates it to Democrats. But that's a Dem giving money to a Dem, so it must be okay. And if Obama were really serious he'd investigate SEIU, a knock-em-dead pro-Obama union that admitted in 2008 that it had a means to accept funds from "foreign nationals" allowing them to have a voice in American politics. But Obama couldn't raise a stink about that because Obama and the Democrats helped SEIU create the avenue to accept foreign money.
Foreign-money claims coming from Obama are not about campaigning. They are about creating a narrative of defeat for the Democrat base so that when they get clobbered in November the Dems can blame it on the stinking rich and evil foreigners instead of admitting that they elected an empty head and then proceeded to push a wildly unpopular agenda over the loud and noisy voice of the majority of Americans.
Obama anticipates the GOP will win control of the House and possibly the Senate in November, and the GOP will commence investigations of the Obama campaign's many wrong doings, including fraudulent campaign funds. Obama is getting ready to say, "everybody does it."
He should shut up about this subject. It makes him look like the fool that he is. His attacks are as weak as his party's poll numbers.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL FLYOVER SPROUTS GOOSE BUMPS
Glenn Beck was unable to arrange for a military flyover at his Restoring Honor Rally held at the Lincoln Memorial, but "Someone" provided a perfect V Formation for the event. A participant took a video of the "flyover" and presented it to Glenn. There is no doubt about who the "Choreographer" was. Glenn talked about the event on his TV show, and this is what he said.
Beck said, "At 9:59, what happened was there was a flock of geese. It was a flyover, if you will. Somebody caught it on tape. Here's the flyover. This was happening just as the opening music was starting. We wanted to have a flyover, but you can t flyover in the District of Columbia. It was perfect coordination and perfect timing. Coincidence? Maybe? I think it was God's flyover. It was not supposed to happen. We couldn't get a flyover. We couldn't even get anybody dressed in a military uniform to present the flag. We tried for almost a year. We couldn't get it done. Thank God, we had our flyover."

This was happening just as the opening music was starting. We wanted to have a flyover, but you can t flyover in the District of Columbia. It was perfect coordination and perfect timing. Coincidence? Maybe? I think it was God's flyover. It was not supposed to happen. We couldn't get a flyover. We couldn't even get anybody dressed in a military uniform to present the flag. We tried for almost a year. We couldn't get it done. Thank God, we had our flyover."

STIMULATING THE DEAD AND THE WEASELS IN THE WORKHOUSE
We heard it today. The Social Security Adm. sent 89,000 STIMULUS PAYMENTS to 72,000 dead people and 17,000 residing in the Hoosgow. SS was supposed to distributing $13 billion as part of Obama's economic-stimulus package. SS excuses this misdeed by saying 55,000 checks were sent to "recently dead" people, and 17,000 checks were attributed to the SSA failing to properly process death records that it did have.
The break down of the bogus payments? $18 million went to the dearly departed. $4 million went to the weasels in the workhouse.
Obviously nothing dies harder than a bad idea. And the Obama Stimulus bill was one astonishingly bad idea.
And here comes Obamacare. Think the government can do a better job than the Stimulus bill? Think again.

MICKIE-D SAVED BY "THE DEAL"
Hey, read my post from 10-2 re. McDonald's mini-med policies. Here's the follow up.
Today Obama announced that 30 businesses will get a 1-year exemption from portions of Obamacare. McDonald's is one of the "chosen," the "exempt."
Good for you if you work for one of the chosen companies, but too bad, so sad if you work for any of the other thousands of companies who will be forced to comply with all Obamacare rules.
Right now it's a crap shoot if you are not a chosen employer. You are at the mercy of Obama and Kathleen Sebelius, waiting for them to decide what they like and whom they want to favor.
And what happened to the "lie" we were told that Obamacare would "level the playing field?" This exemption creates exactly what Obama claimed was a problem - an unequal playing field. What does he think this does??
Oh, yes, and there's the administration's promise that if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance. What they didn't tell you is that you can only keep it as long as they allow for "exemptions" from Obamacare. Listen up, Folks, the exemptions granted today are only good for ONE YEAR. Then it is back to the rules.
This just goes to show what can happen when people with absolutely nil experience in anything decide they can govern an industry better than the industry can govern itself.
And this is just the beginning of the spreading malignancy known as Obamacare.
Congratulations, McDonalds and 29 other companies. You just shafted the rest of us.

ARTIST JON MCNAUGHTON MAY NEED A BODY GUARD
Great, great painting and video by Jon McNaughton. Very short video, but very powerful. Jon is a man of great courage and conviction. Against a darkening sky he paints the White House where all Presidents of the U.S. gather. On the left hand side he paints a dejected American. Many of the Presidents are trying to comfort him, while seemingly asking the question of the others, "What are you doing?" Note the trash in the portrait, the crinkled currency, the documents, and the U.S. Constitution under the foot of Obama.

TAX CUT OR TAX INCREASE? AHH, THAT IS THE QUESTION!
Did you see Glenn Beck yesterday? He had a video of Austin Goolsbee, Obama's new Chairman of his Council of Economic Advisers, trying to explain why a tax cut for the "wealthy" was a bad thing and would cost the U.S. mucho bucks. He was talking about the wisdom of extending the "Bush Tax Cuts" to all Americans. But I think Mr. Goolsbee, though he's supposed to be an economist, doesn't know squat about taxes.
This is the thing, Mr. Goolsbee. When you take more money than you currently are taking, that's a TAX INCREASE. When you are not paying $100,000 in taxes one year but you will pay it the next year, that's a TAX INCREASE. THIS IS NOT A TAX CUT.
If the Bush Tax Cuts that have been in place for the last decade are preserved for all Americans, the government tax collection stays the same.
Goolsbee says the government will have to borrow $700 billion to cover the "tax cuts for the wealthy." But this is not a TAX CUT. It is a TAX INCREASE. So why would the government have to borrow $700 billion to cover money that they are not currently getting? How can it cost anything when the money isn't currently coming in? That's like hoping you get a $500 per month raise at work and then one morning telling your boss that if you don't give me a $500 per month raise, it's going to cost me so much money I'm going to have to borrow $500 every month to cover the raise I didn't get. The point? Why would you have to borrow $500 per month to replace money you were not getting in the first place? This is precisely what Obama wants to do.
Republicans want the Bush Tax Cuts extended to ALL Americans. Under the GOP plan you earn, the government does not take more of your money, so you keep the money you earn. The amount taken by Uncle Sam remains as it has been for 10 years.
Under the Obama plan, you earn, the government takes more of what you earn and spends it on someone else, like the unions, or whatever people or group Obama likes at the time, and you have less for your own needs.
Well, I have a message for Obama. THIS ISN'T YOUR MONEY TO TAKE AND GIVE AWAY TO SOMEONE ELSE! Our hard earned money is not YOURS. And quit saying you are giving people tax cuts. This is not a tax cut. It is a TAX INCREASE. A tax cut is giving people more money. A tax cut is when the taker does NOT take more of our money. This is an important distinction. Extending the Bush Tax Cuts costs the government absolutely nothing extra.
Obama, the rich are not the enemy. They are the employers, the job creators, the philanthropists, the primer of our economy. Right now they are scared to do anything because your policies are creating uncertainty on every front.
Americans need to know that this is a government game. We are being played for fools. This is class warfare, and it is a big, fat lie. Obama's top economic advisor tries to tell you your money is theirs, you have no right to it. But it is yours. You should be able to choose when to share your money and whom to share it with.
Tell the government that No, We Will Give No More. Keep all Bush Tax Cuts in place forever. Tell them to balance the budget and QUIT SPENDING instead of playing the Money Grab Game.

WORKING STIFFED!
Saw a GREAT video clip of a segment that was shown on the Jon Stewart Daily Show on 9/20/2010. Excellent example of the idiocy of "union demands." These UFCW "union workers" were picketing a WalMart store in Nevada demanding fair treatment and higher wages. But watch to the end and see the real truth. First you will laugh at how absurd this is, and then you will get mad as Hell.

The Lawyer's Party
I got an email with some information written by Bruce Walker*. That's what it says, though I don't know if the name is real. The stats listed are very interesting and I thought I'd share them with you.
Here you go:
The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer. Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer. John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.
Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school, although Gore did not graduate. Every Dem. vice presidential nominee since 1976, except Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Look at leaders of the Dem Party in Congress. Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Bush is a businessman. VP Cheney is a businessman. Newt Gingrich was a history professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. dick Armey was an economist. John Boehner was a plastic manufacturer. Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford who left office 31 years ago.
The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work whom are often the targets of lawyers.
The Lawyers' Party sees these sorts of people who provide goods and serves that people want, as the enemies of America. Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value for our nation.
Today we are drowning in laws. We are contorted by judicial decisions. We are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all areas of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place should be modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked.
When the most important decision for our president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme court the role of lawyers and the law in America is too broad.
When House Democrats sue America (Arizona) in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.
We cannot expect the Lawyers' party to provide real change, real reform or real hope in America. Americans know that a republic in which every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges is not what Washington intended in 1789. Americans know that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the heels of our defenders.
The U. S. has 5% of the worlds population and 66% of the worlds lawyers. Tort (legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits, such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you, and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyer's Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high!
So there it is, Readers. I thought it was an interesting viewpoint. No wonder there is no TORT REFORM in OBAMACARE and the Dems fought the Reps attempts to include it.

WANNA SKIP THE RECESSION? GO TO WORK FOR THE FEDS!
The Washington Examiner has done a study of federal government workers versus private sector workers. They found that federal employees have seen a big increase in employment and compensation at taxpayer expense, while private-sector workers have not fared as well.
"For nearly two years millions of private-sector workers have made often painful sacrifices because of failed federal economic policies and skyrocketing federal spending and debt. But the opposite has been true for federal workers," The Examiner stated.
According to the article, beginning in 2008, federal employees earning $100,000 or more a year jumped from 14% to 19% of the civil service workforce of 2 million. (That's right, there are 2 million federal workers running our lives.)
In two years Washington has added around 100,000 new jobs, while more than 7 million private-sector jobs were lost. And private-sector workers are paying for it through taxes.
The Heritage Foundation reported that 4 out of the 5 jobs Obama claimed were "created or saved" by the stimulus bill were jobs in government.
Rep. Mike Coffman, R-CO, has offered a proposal to furlough all nonessential federal workers for two weeks next year and to cut the salaries of senators and representatives by 10%. But the House Democratic leadership has steadfastly refused to schedule a vote on the bill. No surprise. It's been 77 years since Congress voluntarily took a pay cut.
Fortunately, come November we will have the opportunity to remind them what it's like to be unemployed.

IRAQ SURPLUSES SWELL AS U.S. DEBT SOARS
It's 2003 and the U.S. invades Iraq and ousts Saddam Hussein. A heinous madman has been deposed, and Iraqis have a chance at freedom. Thanks to the U.S. and our military.
So what has this war cost us? Well, Folks, these are the facts.
Since 2003 the U.S. has infused more than half a trillion dollars into Iraq.
From 2004-2009 Iraq amassed a surplus of $52.1 billion, with over 92% of its revenues coming from oil exports, some of which WE import and pay Iraq for. During that same period overall U.S. debt soared as we ran huge deficits in every one of those years.
The U.S. has spent $624 billion in Iraq helping the Iraqis set up a democratic government. Sounds humanitarian, doesn't it? And wouldn't you think that since Iraq has a huge budget surplus they'd be PAYING us for our help? Or at least providing us with oil free of charge?
But not so. On July 29 the U. S. Congress approved an additional $1 billion in "emergency" aid to the Iraqi government, and Obama is seeking yet another $2 billion in his fiscal 2011 budget, as reported by CNS News.
Our Government Accountability Office (GAO) has disclosed that the Iraqi government holds as much as $32.2 billion in cash on deposit at banks and financial institutions. The GAO stated in its audit report that "Congress should consider Iraq's available financial resources when it reviews the administration's fiscal 2011 budget request and future budget requests for additional funds to train and equip Iraqi security forces."
That sure makes sense, doesn't it? They have the money so why can't they COVER OUR COSTS or even PAY US TO BE THERE? Or send us home? Instead we are supporting billionaires while we are going bankrupt.
According to the CBO, the U. S. budget deficit exceeded $1.3 trillion for fiscal 2010, the second greatest deficit as a percent of GDP since WWII. The greatest deficit ever? 2009's $1.4 trillion.
Whether you believe we should have gone to Iraq or not, Obama's election promise was to end the war in Iraq and stop the bleeding of our resources. So far all he's done is ask for MORE money, and he's changed the verbiage of our mission there, going from "military mission" to "non-combat mission." But ask troops who are still there if their "mission" has changed.
Obama must think Americans are thick minded. That's a mistake he will regret in November.
And just so you know, I gripped at Bush about this situation also. Bush did the same thing, continued to spend money in Iraq while they gathered up a huge surplus. Both administrations are at fault. But Obama SAID he'd end it, and he hasn't. Bush never promised to end it.

MICKIE-D, MINI-MED PLANS WILL BE DEEP FRIED
Remember when Obama stated that he personally wanted a single payer health care system but would have to get it gradually? Well, he wasn't lying. The latest donnybrook started when Janet Ademy, WSJ reporter, this week reported that McDonalds may be forced to cancel its current coverage for 29,500 employees as a result of ObamaCare. McDonalds says new mandates will make its mini-med plans "economically prohibitive."
Mini-med plans are low-cost, low-benefit plans that cover 2.5 million consumers nationwide, mostly in low-wage industries like fast food, retail, and hospitality, where 75% of workers turn over every year and the average age is 25.
DemoBrats despise mini-med plans, believing they "under-insure" the participants, and new you-must-do-it mandates within Obamacare are designed to run them out of business by dictating benefits, eliminating coverage caps and establishing "rules" about how premiums must be spent.
Don't be fooled by the continuing propaganda from the White House about "if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance." They never intended for you to "keep your insurance."
The forced choice is between relatively affordable coverage that the DemoBrats don't like or dumping coverage entirely. Connecticut, Tennessee and Arkansas offer their own mini-med plans for state residents, and they too will be forced to cancel the plans.
Subsidized Obamacare options won't be available until 2014, but those costs will simply fall on the taxpayers. As if WE can afford more spending.
Read this carefully, People. The daily damage we are seeing as the guts of Obamacare are revealed is not unintended. It was premeditated. They just didn't tell you the truth.
Oh, I almost forgot, most of those who voted for it claim they didn't read it.
November Liberation is only 30 days away.
