Big Government isn’t “Decency”

Today the Obamessiah is reported to have tied “passage of Health Insurance Bill to American Decency“.

Those who value American Freedom and traditional values don’t see how collectivists taking over one sixth of the economy can be seen as a “victory for decency”.

Where is the decency in trying to build a dependency culture?
Where is the decency in taking away people’s freedom to choose?
Where is the decency in taking MORE money from the citizenry (who actually pay taxes that is)?
Where is the decency in spending future generations into catastrophic debt?
Where is the decency in defying the will of over one half of the electorate?

The monstrosity of legislation labeled “health care”, that no one has read and is developed in secrecy isn’t decent in any way.  It is indecent.  Indecent to liberty, the American People and to the Constitution.

Health Care Email to my Congress Critters

This is an edited version based on the “Free our health care now” site.  Click the link and take action yourself!!

My version, sent to my Senators (both Donkeys) and my Rep (an Elefink).

“As your constituent, a voter and taxpayer, I want you to know that I strongly oppose ANY government controlled health care system.  A government controlled health care system will measurably harm the interests of my family and me. You may say “it isn’t government run”, but it will be government controlled.  Your constituents prefer freedom to government action on health care. The legislation drafted by the Senate will:

Decrease the quality of my health care.  Under government controlled health care, I’ll see my doctor for less time, receive less preventative medicine and spend more time waiting for important medical procedures.

Marginalize the health care of seniors.  Under government controlled health care, the Greatest Generation will be treated the worst in the health system.

Limit my access to health care.  Under government controlled health care, lines will be longer, waiting will increase and doctor-time will decrease.  Additionally, mandated insurance will force me to purchase coverage I don’t want and deprive me of coverage I need.

Increase cost.  Under government controlled health care, costs will balloon beyond recognition.  When the government picks up or subsidizes the tab for health care, neither doctors nor patients have any incentive to reduce cost or limit use.  As a result, the United States will be forced to either increase taxes on middle-class Americans or increase debt to creditor nations.

Please know as you prepare to reconcile your bill with the House bill, the above is unacceptable to me and that I will be paying close attention.  It will likely determine how I vote in November.  When you disregard this or reply by form letter or email I will take note of that as well.  When a majority of your constituents oppose legislation it is your duty to oppose it also.”

The Hot Pants Bomber Deserves the Hot Seat

Readers of my occasional writings (few though they be) know
that I do not condone torture, nor do I approve of detaining
’suspects’ indefinitely without charges or opportunity to clear their
names. Neither of the foregoing applies to foreigners entering our
country intending to do us harm. The Christmas day bombing attempt
on a Detroit-bound flight was the work of a foreigner not in uniform;
he therefore ought to be dealt with as spy or saboteur and executed
summarily. Having been caught in the act, there is no question of
guilt. Therefore, giving him three tax-funded lawyers (more than I’d
see if I was given a public defender for a lesser charge) is not only
excessive and unnecessary, but it is positively self-hating to shower
such favor on someone who premeditatedly sought to commit an act of
mass murder. Summary execution in such a case is not repugnant to
American jurisprudence, nor to common sense.

Who Would the Tea Party Support?

If the Tea Party becomes an actual party this year, one poll shows their generic candidate beating the Republican and Democratic nominees in a hypothetical match-up.  The GOP finishes third, as they haven’t since the Bull Moose year of 1912.  Going into the election season, perhaps it would entertain and inform to consider which past presidents would be most likely to win tea Party support if they were running for their hypothetical nomination in 2012.

Insults and Intolerance

Leftist collectivists can’t tolerate any activism that doesn’t fit their preconceived notions.

Here the Moron Matthews from “PMSNBC” displays his PC racism while using insulting oral sex references against Freedom loving Americans.

I wonder what our friends nationwide in the Tea PARTY movement think of this continuous arrogant hubris displayed by socialist media twits.

Daily Resolve

New Year provides a natural time for recollection, self-accounting and planning for the future.  As a result of this many make “New Year’s Resolutions”.  It becomes a common topic of what people accomplished or not as part of their commitment for a new year.

We would like to encourage you to take this practice 365 steps further.  Do your appraisal daily.  Strive for improvement with each new dawn.  We mock the collectivists because of their vacuous dreaming predicated on controlling the lives and money of others.  Take some of those *feel good* ideals but cast them as individual goals to accomplish or participate in voluntarily.  Don’t contribute to collectivist coercion of government.  Government doesn’t fix things.  Government messes things up while spending YOUR money.

If you want to make a difference in life, use your liberty and your own ideals to accomplish changes for good for yourself or others.  Not because of some law or regulation but because YOU want to.   Defend your liberty and resist collectivist tyranny that contravenes the founding principles of our great nation.  Resolve to do this DAILY.

Reminder.. There is no “right” to “not be offended”

We all take offense at things.  What people in modern society often don’t realize is that they CHOOSE what “offends” them.  The popular victim culture makes it easy for folks to claim offense as if some harm has been done.  People today don’t even understand “offense”.  A true offense, or offensive action must cause some harm.  Tangible, real harm.  Not fuzzy nebulous “feeling” harm.  People’s right to speech matters more than what others CHOOSE to find offense in.  That’s a major component of the victim culture propagated by collectivists of all stripes.  I suggest two things for those seeking to be offended.  Grow a thicker skin and don’t abdicate your personal power by wasting time taking offense at things that do you NO HARM whatsoever.  Get over your self-centeredness and away from seeking constant comfort by impinging the liberties of others.  Freedom is even for the stupid and insensitive.
