Government-controlled health care no thank you

Lately we've been seeing reasons why the government should and must not
control health care in this country. The current administration can't even
handle a vaccination effort. What makes anyone think they can handle health
care if, God forbid, they get control of that? I have absolutely zero
confidence that they can handle it. Does the media play a role here? You
bet they do because they're whipping up the hysteria over the swine flu.
The regular flu causes people to die but you don't hear about that. Why is
that?

You have a vaccine for swine flu that is being rushed so that this
administration can look like it is doing something about a problem which is
largely, in my opinion, being created by the media. All we've heard about
in the way of health news since last spring is swine flu, swine flu and more
swine flu. The hype has gotten so bad that I avoid listening whenever I
can. I don't need to be reminded every minute of every waking hour about
the precautions I should be taking. There are, however, people who don't
know how to take these precautions or just don't care. Deal with them but
don't force me to do what they won't do because they don't give a damn. You
go into any church or ride any train during the winter months and you will
hear people coughing and sniffling. These are people who should stay home
from work or school. If they did, we wouldn't have some of the problems we
have currently. If some of these people would go to the doctor sooner than
they do, they wouldn't spread their germs to everyone else. I, however,
don't want to pay for their mistakes.

Back to the vaccine for a minute. There is no track record, no research and
nothing to tell us about the side effects of this vaccine. I for one won't
take anything which is as untested as this thing is. Is that the reason
that the Obama administration wants to force it down everyone's collective
throats? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

?Given all of this, I certainly don't want the government in control of my
health care. Any decisions about my health should be up to me and my
doctor, not some government puke who knows nothing about me. I don't want
to have to play 'mother may I" when it comes to health care. I want to know
that my doctor and I can make decisions about my health care and what's
right for me, not what suits the politicians. If health care does go
through in the way that the administration wants, get ready for rationed
health care because it's coming to a doctor's office near you. Get ready
for the affects of section 1233 of the House bill which mandates end of life
care. People can say whatever the hell they want about that one but it's
there and they can't deny it. It's aimed at the elderly and those with
disabilities in my opinion. If you're not useful to society, then you have
no value. White House Chief of Staff Rom Emanuel's brother has said as much
and this is someone that Obama listens to. BTW you don't hear about him
from the adoring media either. Another form of biased coverage I would say.

Wake up America. We're headed down the path of socialized medicine if this
so-called health care reform passes. Be prepared to wait years for
treatment as is currently done in Canada and Great Brittan. Be prepared for
the government to tell you when you can go to the doctor and what treatment
you can obtain. If you don't want these things, then wake up and take
action to oppose the current administration and what they are trying to do.
Act as if your life depends on it because it very likely does.

they should pay for this one

The whole thing with the "balloon boy" is making me sick. The story gets
crazier and crazier every time these people open their freaking mouths. Now
the sheriff is even having some doubts, or he wants at least to look at it
again. I think that's a great idea and hopefully this will be with an eye
toward making the family pay for the search and rescue as well as the cost
of the investigation.

The fact that these people have been on "reality TV" a couple of times makes
me think they are odd to begin with. You have to crave attention to do that
in the first place.

Not only do I hope that the family will be required to pay for the search
and rescue, not to mention the investigation, but I also hope that the
children will be monitored closely by child welfare authorities to make sure
that they are safe. Why would these people drag the children through the
ordeal of "reality TV "? Do these children have any friends or a chance at
what many would consider a normal childhood? Who knows.

The parents, however, need to be held responsible for what they have done;
and each time the father gets angry about questions means, in my opinion,
that the authorities are getting closer to the truth. I know the media can
be relentless and ruthless at times but his losing his cool shows that they
may be getting close.

Does the media know what reality is on this one and what is fraud? I'm not
sure on that one. What does that say about their coverage of politicians,
especially liberal ones? Not much but that's a subject for another day.

I heard about this late into the story and wasn't fascinated like many
people as I had to get back to work, something which these people disrupted
for many people through the closure of the Denver airport, or at least a
part of it, for a time. I'm glad the boy was found but now let's get
answers to the questions as to why this even happened. The boy got sick
twice on national TV which shows you that someone is getting close to
something as that boy is likely scared and certainly not sure of what is
going on. How can he be at six years old and with the name Falcon? If I
were him, I'd go to court and get my name changed when I was old enough to
do so; and hopefully he will do that if he can.

Once again, what will be uncovered during this investigation? Only time
will tell but getting this out of the news would be a good start toward
starving these people of what they most crave, and that's attention. Making
them pay the costs would definitely go a long way toward that and hopefully
deterring them from ever doing something like this again. It's a strange
one to say the least.

Conservatives need not apply

When it comes to ownership of an NFL team, conservatives need not apply.
Rush Limbaugh found that out the hard way after being asked to be a minority
owner in a group bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams. When word got out,
there was all kinds of furor from the usual suspects and Limbaugh was sacked
from this group. Why? Because he dared to be conservative. There is a
visceral hatred of Limbaugh and anything he says is held against him no
matter the fact that it may be true. The man can't even express a fucking
opinion unless he wants it to come back and haunt him. While I don't agree
with Limbaugh, I also don't think he should be denied the right to own a
team just because of his views.

People like Sharpton and Jackson ought to shut up and get real jobs. Then
they would find out that real employers don't tolerate their garbage. But
like Obama, they've never held a real job. Limbaugh has and is hugely
successful, something these two idiots can't say. All these two idiots can
claim is that they have big mouths and that they are good at forcing their
views down other people's throats. Well not mine as I don't want to choke
to death on that liberal garbage they spew.

Too bad Limbaugh's dream was trashed by these idiots and their cohorts.
Since when does owning a team depend on your political views? It didn't
until now. In other words, conservatives need not apply to own a football
team. What sport will be next? I'm afraid to ask .

Obama has no concept of business

The title once again says it all. Obama has no concept of business no
matter what type of business it is that we are talking about. In the case
of health care, we're talking about the insurance industry which is an
industry that Obama and his liberal friends have nothing but contempt for.
As Obama has never held a real job in his life, he's never had to provide
benefits which include health insurance. He and his friends don't
understand the concept of risk which the insurance industry is based on.
The less risk there is the lower the cost will be. The higher the risk is,
the higher the cost will be. Thus people with preexisting conditions or who
make risky lifestyle choices will be more costly to insure. Anyone who is
fat is at risk for complications from the fact that they are fat.

//requiring everyone to have health insurance isn't the same as requiring
everyone to have auto insurance. As another blogger said, anyone who is
relatively healthy will wind up paying for those who are not. You might not
like to hear that but unfortunately it is a fact of life. Requiring
insurance companies to take people who choose to wait until they are sick to
get health insurance will only increase costs for all of us because these
people will be higher risk.

These are concepts that Obama and his liberal friends don't understand. If
health insurance reform can't be done right, then don't do it. Anyone who
has read this blog knows I don't support the current plan for a variety of
reasons. /with government control of insurance comes government telling you
what you can and cannot do from what you eat to how long you sleep and a
myriad of other lifestyle matters. I don't want that but the liberals do
because they don't like the decisions that we would make on our own.

Also, what if someone legitimately can't work? How are they supposed to get
insurance under the Senate plan? They're screwed too because of the fine
contained in this bogus piece of legislation if they don't have insurance.
It's just another way for liberals to force us to do things that they want
us to do. They can't make a convincing argument so force is the only way
they know how to get their point across. It's all about control and I don't
like it. We need to stop it before we lose control of our lives and the
health care reform, I mean deform, is the first place to stop it. Please
act now while we still can. God knows Obama knows nothing about business
and will continue to shove these bad ideas down our collective throats and I
for one don't want to choke on that piece of horse shit.

Time for parents to be parents

Today there was a summit in Chicago on the issue of school violence. This
was done so that, in my opinion, the politicians could pose for holy
pictures and make it look like they were doing something; when in actuality
they are not. There may be many things which need to be done; but there is
one thing that can have an immediate effect on this issue. What, might you
ask, is that? Well, the answer is that it is time for parents to be
parents.

It is time for parents to actually discipline their children rather than
expecting everyone else to do it for them. It's time for parents to stop
being their children's friend and start being their parents. It's time for
parents to take responsibility for feeding their children rather than
expecting the schools to do it for them. It's time for parents to know who
their children's friends are and what they are doing when the children are
not at home. It is time for parents to set ground rules such as being home
by a certain time. It is time for parents to be involved in their
children's education. It's time for parents to not allow their children to
just hang out whenever and wherever they feel like it. In short, it's time
for parents to be parents. No summit or posing by politicians for holy
pictures will change that. It's time everyone figures that out, the sooner
the better.

By the way a healthy respect for life wouldn't hurt either. Valuing other
people for who they are would be a good thing. Teaching children how to
control their anger and that violence is not an acceptable response would
also go a long way in this matter. The violence won't stop just because the
politicians are meeting to talk about it and just because they want it to
stop. There must be community ownership of the problem and that starts at
the family level. It's time for parents to be parents. It's time for
discipline at school and administrators not being afraid that parents will
get in their way. It's time for parents to allow school administrators and
teachers to exercise discipline.

To be perfectly blunt, if the parents don't want to exercise these
responsibilities, then they should never have had the children in the first
place. That may sound harsh but it's true. If you can't take the heat then
get out of the kitchen. If you can't handle the responsibilities of
parenthood, then don't have children. It's that simple .

A sorry excuse for a football game

The title says it all. What game am I talking about? It is the Monday
night game where Minnesota and Bret the brat beat up on the Pack 30-23.
This wasn't supposed to happen but then Aaron Rogers wasn't supposed to be
sacked about eight times either. The O line was very offensive and
hopefully Allan Barber will be Allen Bye bye this week. He's proven he
can't play offensive line in the pros. Now it's time for him to go out and
get a real job. Good luck as we don't need you around to get Rogers killed
out there.

The defense wasn't real good either as the brat wasn't even harassed let
alone sacked. You can't do that and expect to win the game.

Donald Lee needs to decide whether he wants to play in the pros as well. On
fourth and goal at the one, he needed to catch the ball as any pro tight end
should and even Wayne Laravee made that point.

To say that was a sorry excuse for a game is an understatement. If the team
plays this poorly in two weeks, Detroit could have their second win; and I
don't want to see us play into their hands. We need to play much better and
show those sorry little lions who's really the best; and it aint them,
that's for sure.
