So They Passed the Healthcare Reform Bill…

So the health care bill passed. I am more than a little disappointed. I am actually awe-struck that our country has allowed this to happen. Are we just stupid?!?

One analyst said that this was a victory for those who wanted to expand government. I completely agree! I mean, the government basically “bought” a large portion of the private sector with all the bail-outs, and now they are simply “taking” the health care industry.

I, and many others, see this as a big step toward social health care and socialism. That said, has anyone looked at Canada? Yes, all Canadians get health care, but at what cost? They are paying a much higher percentage in income taxes than we are now. You may argue that ours won’t go up much, but are you taking into account the government mandate that we will have to pay in addition to taxes? Furthermore, take a look at the quality and availability of care in Canada. (I don’t mean to pick on Canada, it’s a beautiful country with a lot to offer) Notice the waiting list to see your doctor, and the leechers that won’t get a job because they don’t have to. We already have that here. How much worse are we willing to let it get?

Has anyone considered what effect this will have on health care workers? We should!

Now, the bigger picture. Government health care undercuts the rates of the private sector, the private sector has to sell out to the government, then the government has total control over health care. They can decide what doctors we can or can’t see. What treatments we can or can’t receive. They decide who can and can’t receive treatment. So, ultimately, they decide who lives and who dies.

Yes. We will all have affordable health care, but at what cost!

Obama the Messiah

Well, I have kept my mouth shut for awhile now, but I just can’t do it anymore! I’m back at the keyboard and probably going to offend someone! OH WELL!!!

I’m back on soapbox about Obama. This time, as you know, he has won the Nobel Peace Prize. And for what? Was it the record high budget deficit we hit this year of $1.4 trillion? Was it because he still hasn’t closed Guantanamo Bay? Was it because he still hasn’t brought our troops home from Iraq? Was it because he spent $787 billion on bailouts and stimulus packages that most of us never saw any results from? Was it his lack of support for Israel and his insistence that they give up Jerusalem? No, I don’t think so. I believe that all of this and more was overlooked! I believe it was simply because he made some speeches that sounded good with a lot of great promises that he still hasn’t kept! I also believe that it was because he is “black”, the first “black” president of the United States of America!

Go ahead, call me a racist! You won’t be the first! But let me assure you that I am no racist! Unlike the majority that elected this guy, I don’t see color as a problem or a validation. None of us chose what color we were going to be, so what does it matter what color someone is? It doesn’t. A person’s color doesn’t make them any better or any worse than another person. What they believe in and stand for is what makes the person. I don’t see that Obama believes in or stands for anything but himself!

I read some comments on a popular social network today. I just want to share them with you. I find some of this to be really troubling:

“Can you people be proud for once that we have a great leader? He is not perfect, nobody is, but for god’s sake he is rebuilding what Bush ruined, and Bush ruined A LOT.”

A great leader? Really? Where has he lead us? What has he done?

“We are finally doing things we can be proud of, yet the American people have tried everything in the book against him: he’s a commy, a muslim, or a fascist. He wasn’t born here. He is hiding his grades from school. He is a liar. Did I miss anything?”

What have we done that we can be proud of? Have we never done anything else that we can be proud of?

“I think Obama becoming president is a great thing to have happened for americans”

“Congratulations Obama!!! He is a messiah !”

This one really bothers me! There is only one messiah! His name is Jesus!

“Congrats to the American people for having this great leader as their President”

“I must live in an alternative reality. What exactly has President Obama done to receive a Nobel Peace Prize?

What conflict did he end? For what historic issue has his leadership provided a breakthrough?

Congratulations to him, but I thought prizes of this significance were awarded for high achievements. His presidency has promise & potential, but at this early juncture, I fail to see any milestone to justify this honor.

If talking nice & playing well with others is what now constitutes the criteria for a Nobel Peace Prize, then I nominate Big Bird or Burt & Ernie.”

They call him messiah, but will he die for your sins?

Yes, these people are serious. Some of them are not even from the U.S.! I hope you all get the point that I am trying to make. Obama cannot be the messiah! But, he can be something else. Remember this, he is also the same one that said that the Bible was just not appropriate to try to live by in this day and time. I cannot support anyone that holds this view. The Bible is the most appropriate thing to try to live by today or any other day! If you don’t believe in it that’s your choice. Realize that just because you don’t believe in something, doesn’t mean it isn’t real. When Colombus sailed around the world for the first, no one believed it was round. Their disbelief didn’t change what was real.

I hope that I have not offended anyone, but if I did, then you probably needed to be offended!

America in Submission

~Aaron — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 20:49:29 +0000

To be honest with you, I am really blown away by some of the recent events that have taken place concerning our nation! I kept hearing about Obama bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia. I was hoping that it was just something that was taken out of context, but you see the picture! I also watched the video just to be sure, and there it was plain as day!

I really don’t have any issue with our President showing respect or kindness to other world leaders, but I do with a problem with him submitting to anyone other than the American people! He is the leader of the free world. Our nation was established as an independent nation meaning that we do not submit to anyone, and we are no one’s subjects.

My next problem with Obama bowing is that he claims to be a Christian. God clearly stated that we are to bow to no one but Him.

Now, if you look at the situation from a few steps back, you get a view of the big picture. Obama has no problem with gas being $4.00 a gallon, he bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia and not to any other world leader, and the White House can’t even produce a good lie to calm the people who are concerned about it. Incidentally, we get a lot of our gas from Saudi Arabian oil wells or ones that are owned by the Saudis. I suppose it could be a coincidence, but I don’t think so.

Next, do we support Israel or not? I hope that we do, but it is hard to tell. It seems to me that all Obama wants to do is talk and compromise with other nations that don’t care about the well being of our nation and would do us harm if they got the chance.

Now, what is the deal with Obama administration wanting to RAISE taxes? Didn’t he say during his campaign that he would LOWER taxes? My theory is that they need to raise taxes to pay for the bailout and stimulus that didn’t help very many of us. If we don’t let them raise taxes, what will happen then? I think we will just have a higher deficit, but is that really a big deal? I mean, when was the last time our nation was NOT in debt to someone for something? I think there are other ways to pay without raising taxes, we just need to put people in office that are intelligent enough to figure it out. On that note, why is it that we don’t look for more educated and qualified people to put into our government offices?

Finally, Obama said that “We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation of citizens.” Well, why can’t we be citizens of a Christian nation? I for one am a citizen of a Christian nation whether Obama and the rest of the world like it or not! I am NOT here to work for or please the President, he is to work for me. As far as I can tell, he doesn’t care one little bit about me, my family, or whether we can make it or not in these hard economic times. I will always stand up for Christianity and and declare my faith. If my government doesn’t like it, they will have to start taking away our rights. Let’s see if that goes over with the American people.

The Road to Socialism

~Aaron — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:22:23 +0000

I can’t believe what I am hearing! There are people who are really trying to socialize our country! The thing is, the trend in government is supporting just such a change. Government involvement in the economy is currently around 20%. It is projected to increase to 40% over the next year. I bet they will officially start with socializing medicine.

This brings to my mind some serious questions. 1. What will become of free enterprise? 2. Where does small business fit in? 3. Will we all have to become government employees? 4. If so, what happens to the people that don’t qualify to work for the government? 5. Will it change the tax structure of our nation?

These are just the preliminary questions that immediately come my mind. To be honest, the whole thing really scares me! Does the majority of our nation actually support and want this happen?
Let me know what you think.
