Health Care Debate

The current raging debate about health care is NOT about health care, it’s NOT about health insurance, it’s NOT about how much this bill or that bill will cost, it’s NOT about a public option or co-op’s or opting out, it’s NOT about how many Americans don’t have health insurance vs. access to health care. IT IS about the Constitution, IT IS about Article 1, Section 8 and the specific enumerated powers and constraints upon the Congress, IT IS about repeated Congressional over-reaching, IT IS about the rule of law, IT IS about a republic vs. a democracy, IT IS about States’ and People’s rights, IT IS about the 10^th Amendment, IT IS about a line in the sand. This is it, enough is enough. The People have decided to take a stand here and say, “No more!” Our republic may live or die on this issue. Yes, it’s that big.

So Long America, Hello AmeriKa

I hereby relinquish my citizenship in Obama'a AmeriKa!

The Least Shall be Exalted

The people wanted to make George Washington a king, but he declined. It took 43 more presidents to finally get a king. Why do we treat these politicians like princes, princesses, kings and queens? Why do we look at them with such awe? Why do we give them all manner of special treatment, privileges and perks? We look up to them and they look down upon us. Many of them are dishonest crooks. What happened to the concept of 'public servant?' Why do we fear them instead of them fearing us? Special parking spots, special passes at airports, special medical benefits, special retirement benefits, special dining facilities, special barber and beauty shops, special post offices. Why? Why? Why? We the People should be elevated above them, they are supposed to serve us. They should have to navigate society like everyone else. Instead they have become some sort of uber-class; above us and above the law. Charlie Rangel should be in jail! Instead his peers won't even boot him off of a committee, much less the Congress! These people tell us what they are going to do to us whether we want it or not. These people tell us how much of our money they are going to steal from us whether we want that or not. These people tell us what the Constitution says and what rights they are going to permit us to have or not. ENOUGH! STOP! WHOA! The People must take our Constitution and country back and put these people back in their proper place, under our thumb!

Oh It's Nothing, It's Just the Phone

Beyond the question of why Barack inserted himself in the whole Chicago Olympic mess to begin with (surely not so that his well-healed Chicago donors could unload worthless slum properties for millions as sites on which to build Olympic facilities and venues); why did he have to fly himself, his entourage, several jets, his wife and her entourage to Copenhagen to make the plea? Couldn't he just simply have picked up the phone and called the Committee? It is said that the bill for the jet fuel alone is $1.5 million. How much health care for underprivileged Chicagoans would that buy?
