Socially destructive Policies and Activities.

The traditional family, consisting of a mother a father and children of varying numbers, is the basis of a thriving society. Without strong families, a society is destined to become a piece of trash in the dustbin of history.

Easy divorce has dealt a heavy blow to the health of traditional families in our nation. Divorce, throughout history, has always been very difficult to get, difficult enough that King Henry VIII found it easier to kick the powerful Roman Catholic Church out of the country and support the Church of England in its stead as it was willing to grant him a divorce. The reason is that raising a family is more than a one man or one woman job. There are so many tasks in keeping a family strong, that a single adult is not enough to do it well enough that the children grow up to be morally good and productive for the whole of society. A society that does not have children, or does not teach them well is a society that will slowly fade away. A society that has many children, raises them with good morals and teaches them well will have a prosperous future. This is borne out in the history of the world.

Along with the easy divorce, there had to be reasons to get divorced. So victimhood was introduced to the family. Women began being portrayed was victims, they were abused, taken advantage of and any other reason available to the proregressive’s to turn women against their husbands and sue for divorce was used. If this was not enough, pleas to the welfare of the children were used, making children the next victim group. Men are aggressive; they drink; they yell, and they discipline children. It was not enough for the proregressive’s. they needed fewer and fewer healthy families to drive the morals of society low enough to get more political power, and soon they came up with false memory age regression hypnosis to prove that men are pedophiles and incestuous and women would never know, those women never did! Of course they never knew because it never happened, it was a planted memory by a professional obsessed with proving men are evil.

Who wants to get divorced when they will find it hard to make a living? Thus was born the divorce lottery. It is no secret that the judicial system serving families is more interested in breaking up families and is biased in favor of women when it comes to determining alimony and child custody and the child support payments. Many men did not earn enough money though for even the divorce lottery to keep women from remarrying, so in the “interest of the children” the welfare state was expanded to insure they could remain single and live pathetic sad lives dependent on the government dole.

Marriage was still too powerful a force in society, so then they made the child protective services with the intention of taking children away from families, usually with the ransom being, leave the “abusive” parent, and you can have your children back. Then, “interest of the state” found that what goes on behind closed doors is no longer sacrosanct, as if the government can take couples to court for arguments, they have a better chance of breaking them up.

If it is good to destroy marriages in order to gain more power and control, then it must be just as good to prevent marriages in the first place. You already have the welfare state paying mothers to stay dependently single and make babies, who are likely to grow up maladjusted and also dependent on the state do to the inability of a single parent to provide all the needs of children. You have the victim/abuser argument to scare prospective couples from getting married. The divorce lottery making men scared to be a victim of a gold digging woman. How about stopping a big reason to get married in the first place, something like pregnancy? So they pushed for women to use the pill, even advertised the benefits of it, such as lighter days and so forth. No baby on the way, no reason to get married just yet. Then what about those babies who still seemed to get conceived, we can just kill them off, and abortion became a “right”.

I will not go into much detail on religion, but the Christian Religion protects us from the enticement of the communist/socialist state. So long as we remain true to our Christianity, socialism cannot find solid footing. Our Christian faith has been significantly eroded through years of attack by the “unintellectuals” of the past 100 years.

Culture is the culmination of the beliefs, customs, practices and social behavior of a group of people. The United States of America as a whole has a culture, as well as each region with-in has its own sub-culture, all based on the same moral truths with only slight variances. Here moral is a statement of value to society as it progresses from generation to generation. It is behaviors which benefit society and the individual equally. Being faithful to your spouse is a good morality. Having children in wedlock is good morality. Teaching your children right and wrong and how to tell the difference between the two is morally good. Christianity is a bedrock of good morality. You will not find a better single source of morality than the bible. Even if you do not believe in god, you can believe in the bible’s teachings, as they are the lessons learned from thousands of years of societal struggle and experimentation on finding the best morality for society. For each sin, there is a moral story that demonstrates why it is a sin, for every virtue, there is a moral story that demonstrates why it is a virtue. The communists target the church and religion as well as traditional families  for destruction, the reason is because a society with strong moral character cannot be conned into being good serfs for the “unintellectuals”. “You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.”

Of course, these are not the only places where the proregressives work towards causing a decline in our culture. They target our values, they target the rule of law, they destroy the emerging new generations ability to self-determination.

They mainline deviant behavior by changing the meaning of our language. Judgment is no longer a useful skill built on wisdom, but a destructive evil that must be subdued and pushed down. They celebrate the use of profanity in song, in tv programming and literature. They twist the logic of the language to promote deviant behaviors such as pro-abortion to pro-choice, because who could be against choice. Redefine our institutions to include more and more deviant behavior, marriage should include gay relationships for example. They then try to mainline all of this through pop culture. They use actors and actresses as role models, athletes as role models, and then use the failings of those individuals to show that it is ok to do as they do, they are a part of culture and we celebrate them, so we should also celebrate what they do: High divorce rates, children out of wedlock, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, disdain for religion, embracing false religions like scientology, denigrating traditional anything as out dated and worthless.

They work towards the delegitimization of the rule of law. They use the courts to force social change onto the culture (Abortion, divorce lottery, gay rights.) Stack the courts with people who do believe in law so much as “social justice” based on feelings and then look at binding contracts as fluid (living documents to be interpreted by each new generation differently), finding penumbras between every line. Create laws that are so confusing and so contradicting that no one really knows what is legal or illegal. Create laws that have such broad language that they can be interpreted any way the judges, particularly those who look for “social justice”, want. Selective enforcement of laws in both which laws should be enforced and which citizens should be immune from certain laws (immigration, civil rights, hate crimes, racketeering, naturalized citizen requirement for the presidency.) All these activities and more are intended to not only help themselves and their allies today, but lay the groundwork for the complete disregard for the law in the future.

They work towards destroying the educational system. They rewrite history and selectively teach history frequently changing the evil doers into idols worthy of worship. They cut back on educating our children with skills of learning, but with skills of memorizing with no need to know the why. Change truths into subjective to the viewer, 2+2 may be 4 for me, but for another student, it may be 5. They do not grade, and if they do grade, they usually try to deform the grading system such that all kids feel proud of their achievement or lack of achievement. They teach kids that we are all equal, but some are more equal or less equal than others. They demonize the founders of our nations as evil racists and bigots and praise the founders of communism, fascism and socialism. They take god out of the school and replace with Darwin, Marx, Stalin, Moa and Che. They begin teaching studies of no value such as women’s studies, black studies and others that are meant to leave the children with no future of prosperity but with a future of hating others because of imagined wrongs or wrongs done in such a distant past that even the grandchildren of those who did the wrong are long dead and buried. Take away the critical thinking skills that would allow kids to see how bad the teacher’s educating them are and how screwed the politicians goals will leave them.

Informed citizens would make better choices in leadership, education and almost every other aspect of their lives. They certainly would not want that. So they destroy the educations of the children and leave them less able to see through the propaganda being thrown at them. They then infiltrate the media and use the redefined language to shut down dissent from anyone who would speak up in favor of keeping traditional values. They decide, they report and you do as your told peasants has replaced the We report (unbiasedly), you decide (using good critical thinking skills.)

Democrat in the news:

·         Hide all negative information about. Minimize damage as much as possible when not able to hide.

·         Hide party identity; do not let them pin the blame on the party.

·         Redefine positions into positive goals. Pro-this, Pro-That, This-Choice, That-Choice etc.

·         Revise positions to have values such as, inclusive, Tolerant, for the poor, for the worker, caring.

·         When in power, emphasis to be on the positive, nothing negative in the news. If there is negative, then show them as working towards solutions and caring.

·         When rumors are around, do not report, you need more information, they are likely false, bury the story as old news.

·         When a known lie about a democrat hits the news, say it is a character assassination attempt by the republicans.

·         When a known negative truth hits the news, bury the story, if not, then proclaim it is all rumor or lies, if that does not help then say it was an isolated incident that has no bearing on the Democrats a whole. One bad actor out of many.

Republican in the news:

·         Emphasize all negative information; tie into culture of corruption of the whole party.

·         Emphasize party affiliation; tie into culture of corruption of the whole party.

·         Redefine positions into negative goals; Intolerant, anti-choice, anti- working man.

·         Revise positions to have bad values; divisive, intolerant, for the rich (like that is bad), uncaring and heartless.

·         When in power;  emphasis to be on the negative, nothing positive in the news. If there is positive, then show that it had nothing to do with who is in power, just a fluke or something.

·         When rumors are around, report early, report often, fill in all the information that is missing, always making it worse than it possibly could be, they are likely true, keep the story in the news as long as possible, resurrect as questions to those involved.

·         When a known lie hits the news, say it might be true, if not true is certainly something to look for in the culture of corruption in the republican party.

·         When a known negative truth hits the news, nonstop coverage for weeks and months, tie it to the whole party, insinuate that there is far more to the story than the evidence shows, add lots of rumors and lies because those will stay with the public mind too.

Is it a plot to destroy America or is it just a bunch of independent actors working alone to simply further their own wants and desires? Of course it is a plot. We have the long standing communist manifesto as the blueprint for bringing down our republic and capitalist society; we have the Cloward-Piven strategy for overwhelming our government institutions and the Alinsky Rules for radicals. It may not be a deep dark conspiracy trying to hide, but it is certainly a plot. We also have the money to look at. Barack Obama took millions of dollars from foreign accounts in his election for president. You have George Soros’ billionaire funding hundreds of groups like ACORN across the nation. Most of the people who are members of these groups likely have no idea that they are working to the destruction of the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America with the eventual goal to be the replacement with a socialist society more resembling the old Soviet Union or some European country. The people who join these efforts have been propagandized to think that the behaviors society considers deviant really are not destructive to society and cannot understand why we would forbid certain activities that seem harmless to be practiced. They were never taught history well enough to understand that what they see as the “evil suppression” of individual freedoms is actually the upholding of virtues worth embracing because they allow a society to flourish and prosper beyond the current generation.

Legislation limits.

Limiting congress to remain within it's Constitutional Boundaries is impossible in today's legislature where 2500 page bills are passed with no one having read. I propose the following.

The day of the never read bill passing through congress should end, and it will end if this is placed into effect. A yeah vote for legislation must be accompanied by one of the following: A hand written, by the representative or senator, exact duplicate of the bill to be passed or a voice recording of the full text of the bill as read by the representative or senator. Simple and to the point.

No Insurance is a God given right.

Response to Hyperbole at Obama health insurance requirement taken from GOP

"Does a hospital ER have a God-given right to kick you to the curb and LET YOU DIE when you show up with chest pains? Does an ambulance crew have a "God-given right" to pack up and leave you behind at the accident scene when they realize you don't have health insurance?"

Actually they do, but an over reaching socialist government took that right away from them. Almost all large hospitals in this nation began under Christian and Catholic churches and were supported with patient fees and private charity. They would have the right to refuse service, but I seriously doubt ever did, until government stepped in and started to micro manage medical care providers.


"A simple fact is this. If you exercise your "God-given right" to not have health insurance, you are an irresponsible drain on society, no better than lazy welfare cheats who don't work when they are more than capable to do so. And here is why."

I do not have health insurance. I have been to the hospital. I go to chiropractors. I see the dentist. I get my eyes checked. I am not rich, but I pay for all my services with money from my work. While I am a disabled Veteran and have access to the VA regional medical centers, I rarely ever take advantage of it. Am I drain on the nation? Am I lazy welfare cheat?

"Therefore, if you are seriously ill or injured, you will get treated at whatever hospital you are taken to."

Like the one in Chicago where Obama's wife Michelle worked that had a special deal with officials that allowed it to dump patients, to the point that even unstable patients were not treated? Interesting...

"The medical industry calls this "uncompensated care" and it is largely the cause of both high premiums and the closure of many hospitals, especially ones in poorer or rural areas."

We Americans are very charitable people. We give hundreds of billions of dollars to charity every year. Our government takes trillions of dollars from our pockets every year, preventing us from being even more charitable. The churches still run a significant portion of the hospitals in this country, and they would be far better off if the government stepped back and left them alone, and those who charitably give to them. Government steals 55% (not this year) of potential charitable gifts when people die and their estates are assessed the death taxes. It is not just simply the tax that steals money from these hospitals, but the disincentive to building even greater fortunes for which the government can steal that removes a likely even greater sum.

Forcing people to buy a product they do not want is simply evil and unethical. Insurance is a product, it is one for which people have no need of. It is a nice luxury item, similar to health care. I have a choice in what health care services I want. I get to tell the doctors that I do not want what they are offering, and I am legally allowed to do so. When I give my consent, I am agreeing to pay the cost of the service.

There have been many instances of usurpation of my god given right to live without health insurance over the years. Now, the right is being wholly stolen from me and others and for what purpose other than to subsidize other people's health care? Why should I be forced to pay for other people's preexisting conditions? (I have my own preexisting conditions, and for the most part, I chose not to treat them, it is my life, and my choice and frankly none of yours or the government's business.) People who have preexisting conditions have choices they can make. One, they can beg for alms from the very generous and charitable Americans in their community to help them pay for their health care. Two, they can work very hard and pay for their health care, as far as I know, hospitals do not attach people's pay checks to get their money, so a person can chose to pay off their life saving debt and maybe not buy another color tv, another vacation, another new car, a bigger home, eat luxury meals and other unneeded things. Three, they can simply not get treated if the other two choices are below them, that the only way they are willing to be treated is if some other person is held liable for their life giving treatments.

Unfortunately, our society is not one based on freedom and god given rights. It has been deformed into one of need and wish granted rights. I need food, give it to me, I demand it, it is my right. I need a house, give it to me, I demand it, it is my right. I need to have a luxury life, give it to me, I demand it, it is my right. You talk about 'lazy welfare cheats' while demanding that we provide more incentive for people to become 'lazy welfare cheats' by subsidizing their sloth, and that is repugnant and appalling!

'Health Care Army'

The right to health care automatically grants the power to provide health care to the federal government. Because there is a large demand for the medical care, we will have to set up a system to ensure that there is adequate care for everyone. We the government intend to provide the best possible health care a bunch of bureaucrats can possibly deliver. To hold us to this claim we will write up a Service Level Agreement (SLA) such that every American is ensured to all procedures to be delivered within a short period of time with a high level of quality provided by well-trained personnel.

In order to live up to this SLA we will also need to obtain not just an army of doctors and nurses, but medical supplies, food, energy and all other requirements in order to supply the health care right to everyone. This large undertaking will be accomplished though our Executive National Service Level Agreement Vassaled Employee Department (ENSLAVED). We believe that this program will be such a success; almost every American will be ENSLAVED at some point. It would be wrong to pay the ENSLAVED for providing a right so we will work out permanent contracts that will grant each ENSLAVED employee the bare necessities of life. The ENSLAVED will be managed through the Malevolent August State Trained Empowered Ruling Society (MASTERS).

Constitutional Amendment Ideas

Amendment 1:
The states have the right to dismiss supreme court justices on the grounds that they do not uphold the constitution, particularly as pertains to states' rights. Similar to a constitutional convention where the states join together to agree to dismiss the judge. 2/3 requirement. (Needed to restore balance between states and federal government, since the 17th Amendment took away the appointment of senators)

Amendment 2:
The federal government spending is limited to not more than 20% (18% in four years) (16% in 8 years) (14% in 12 years) and (12% in 16 years) of gross domestic product. Except in cases of war in which the government may spend funds as needed. The federal government shall be required keep an emergency fund, the value of the fund shall be three times the previous years limited spending value. The fund should be allowed to build up to that limit over a period of 16 years.

Amendment 3:
The commerce clause is modified to reflect the following. Congress shall only make laws that facilitate the exchange of goods, services or currency between the states. Congress shall make no laws which infringe upon the free exchange of goods, services or currency between the states. (They can make right of ways for roads, railroads, electrical grid, communications wires and so forth. They can help facilitate the network required for air traffic control and the differing frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum for communications and prevent disturbances of said bands. They cannot tell farmers they cannot farm or grow a certain crop.)

Amendment 4:
All taxes or fees shall be levied upon the population shall be single rate with no exclusion nor waiver for any purpose. (every person pays for the full cost of the government based on their ability. if the rate of taxes is 15% of earnings, then someone making $10,000 will pay $1500, someone making $1m will pay $150,000. There will no longer be any ability of special interests to petition the government for special tax considerations.)

Amendment 5:
The federal government has no authority to make direct payments to any individual or group of individuals for any purpose which is not enumerated in the constitution. (Military, Congress, limited executive branch, Judiciary, ambassadors and embassies and such.)

Amendment 6:
Clarifies general welfare is not an enumerated power of the federal government.

Amendment 7:
All rights, privileges and immunities for which United States Citizens enjoy for which the constitution prohibits the federal government from infringing the states are similarly prohibited from infringing. (The right to free speech, bear arms, and so forth.)

Amendment 8:
All Illegal, undocumented or otherwise uninvited aliens of the United States Government are afforded no rights, privileges or immunities which have been granted to citizens,legal residents and invited aliens though this constitution.

Amendment 9:
No public employee may be a member of any union. (must be worded so that they cannot join any group which actively petitions the government in any form.)

Amendment 10:
The Rights enumerated and unenumerated in this constitution cannot be used to force any other citizen or entity of the United States of America to provide for the exercise of that right. A right is only a right when it can be exercised absent the coercion of others to facilitate it. (Free speech, but not a free tv show. Right to bear arms, but not be provided arms and ammunition. If abortion can remain a right after all this, no money, nor coercing doctors to perform it.)

Amendment 11:
The federal government may claim no land nor make regulations upon the use of any land for which it is not explicitly granted the power through an enumeration in the Constitution of the United States of America. (Worded such that the federal government limit on land is Washington DC, Military Bases, Federal Prisons, embassies of the United States of America and those of foreign nations in American Territory and any others enumerated..)

How to protect State's Rights? State Removal of Justices!

When the 17th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America was enacted the states lost their sovereignty. Other than repealing the 17th Amendment there does not seem to be any way to enforce the constitution's protections of states rights. What would it take to bring back the concept of states rights when the Supreme Court of the United States of America no longer sees the constitution as a constraint to the federal government? I think that a constitutional amendment that gives states the right to remove  Supreme Court Justice's would be the answer to this quandary. It would work similar to a call for a constitutional convention in that it would take 2/3 of the states to vote for the removal. The president gets to appoint the Supreme Court Justices, the Senate gets to check those appointments, and the states get to decide if those justices are indeed protecting their interest in the contract that we call the Constitution of the United States of America. This should restore some balance of power in our government.

Lets keep the take back of our nation moving.

We have witnessed the veil of righteousness from the progressive entitlement programs get ripped off over the last 16 months (October 2008 to present) and the voters have seen the death faces behind that veil. 2011-2016 may be the best time in the last 22 years to pick up where Reagan left off, due to having to work against Democrat majorities in the houses during his time.

We have some few leaders who are ready to pick up that yoke and pull America out of the entitlement swamp and back onto that Shining Hill. Paul Ryan proposes to bring the spending down to a limited level, wean the public off both social security, medicare and medicaid.

We may have a chance to place some fiscally sound Amendments into the Constitution that clarify the limit on the size of government. I feel it needs to be significantly less than what Paul Ryan calls for.

It is time that conservatives teach the public how the entitlements prevent the wealth base of the nation from expanding which leaves many people struggling, where as, if the wealth base was allowed to expand faster, everyone would be better off.

It is time that conservatives teach the public that charity is not the theft at gunpoint through taxation of property to be handed out by politicians in order for them to buy votes from hyphenated voting blocks Poor-Americans, Uninsured-Americans, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans. That when people keep more of their money, that they can support far more and better forms of charity on their own.

It is time that conservatives teach the public the difference between a right, a need, and a wish. Rights are things that you can exercise without the need of others to serve you, needs are things that allow you to live, wishes are things that make your life happier than simply living. When needs and wishes are perverted into rights, then they turn other people into slaves to meet those needs.

We need more Television channels like Fox news, In fact, someone should plan to take over one of the big 3 stations and run it like fox does. We need to keep the Tea Party going into the future so that it can keep the politicians honest and prevent the perversion of our constitution towards a death pact with socialism and tyranny as the road and vehicle of motion.

Why hasn't Obama been filling job posts?

We all know DC is a total culture of corruption. We have seen how the Democrats used corruption in Representative Massa's case. When he refused to cave in, they threw him over board. It is highly likely those charges would never have been followed up if he had played the game and just voted for the health care take over bill. So, those who they can strong arm through back room deals on keeping the dirty laundry hidden will be safe. Those who are too clean to strong arm or kick out of office will be bribed with those significant number of jobs that have been left unfilled for over a year, jobs that will sorely be needed by many when the Gales of November come tearing through the halls of the House of Representatives. That is my take on how things are currently playing out on Capitol Hill, what are your takes?

The tax filler of choice?

There seem to be a large number of blog posts and news articles around the country that state communities are trying to bolster their reduced tax budgets with an increase in fees from policing motorists, primarily for speeding.

I have seen first hand different communities that do this, and most cannot be prevented from doing so. Any community near an interstate is perfectly happy to collect fees for their towns by taxing out of state travellers by pulling them over and fining them for speeding or any other infraction that they can make stick. Because these travellers are from out of state, there is almost no chance they will be willing to challenge the infraction in court, so it is very easy money. Other communities are willing to do this to their own citizens and frame it as a safety promotion issue. Other communities use traffic light cameras for this purpose as well.

Interestingly, studies find that increased speed limits do not translate into higher accident or death rates. When the double nickle was dropped and states were allowed to set speeds to what they desired, accidents and deaths went down, even in the state that actually got rid of interstate speed limits altogether. Studies show that stop light cameras actually lead to an increase in accidents, yet even when the accidents continue to pile up, the cameras do not go away. So, the idea that these are nothing more than stealth unfair taxation does not seem to be very far off.

My feelings on this issue is that speed limits are a distraction to drivers. When you speed, you are always on the look out for a cop, and thus not on the look out for other things. Speed recommendations should be implemented that give a reasonable speed for the area but are not directly enforced. Anyone one involved in an accident in that area would face very steep fines if they were driving higher than the speed limit and in cases of school zones and other pedestrian points I would recommend short jail stays. For those who do not get into accidents, what is the issue? The science of crash site investigations is good enough that evidence on the the scene can hit a pretty close marker as to what the speed of a vehicle was before the crash. If the issue is safety, the jail time and the very steep fines for speeding and getting into an accident will do far more than random and prejudicial enforcement.

Enforcement is prejudicial. If it is raining, a time when cops should be more inclined to stop motorists who are speeding (due to wet pavement making stopping in time harder and frequently visibility is impaired as well) many cops do not pull speeders over so they can remain dry and comfortable. Police officers are very fickle with who they hand out tickets to. I am a white male,when I get pulled over, I always get a ticket and usually one that has a speed higher than I saw on my speedometer. On the other hand, older people who happen to also be blinder and slower in reaction time who I have been in the passenger seat with have never been given anything more than a warning, which they promptly ignore as they accelerate to 20 mph or more over the speed limit within view of the police officer. A woman who has been drinking and was speeding at 40 mph over the speed limit in foggy conditions is pulled over and flirts her way into a ticket that says she was going 4 mph over the speed limit. How can a nation of laws exist when the laws are so malleable as to be either meaningless to some people or completely iron clad against others all at the discretion and prejudice of those who enforce it?

Then you also have the conflict of interest in the judicial process of traffic violations. The judge is an advocate of the state, county or city for which he sits and the plaintiff is the state, county or city in which you are tried.

Health Care Reform

The solutions to our loss of values, responsibility and accountability with respect to the health care issue is as follows. It is harsh, unlike some people's utopian ideas.

Send the Illegal aliens out of the country. Every last one we can by use of the laws on the books. Work site raids, prison sentences for employers who can be proven to have hired known illegals or those who did not do the bare minimum to ensure they only hired legal workers. I would also suggest figuring out who the people are that are doing lawn care, house cleaning and so forth. The jobs illegals take from Americans, they take mostly from the poorest of our nation. Children cannot fairly compete against illegals for character building task oriented jobs for neighbors. Adults cannot fairly compete against illegals for low skill high labor tasks that would give them work experience and a payday. The illegals come from nations with much lower standards of living, and think nothing of shacking up 10 people to a room in a home and eating much lower cost foods than most Americans are accustomed to.

Stop the tax free status of employer provided health insurance. Make the employers pay that money directly to the employee. The employee can then buy insurance on their own or through their employer, or through any voluntary group they chose to associate with. Yeah, it is pretty extreme, but then again, the whole idea of paying people with insurance seems somewhat extreme. I think people would prefer to have cash.

Allow a tax deduction, not a refundable tax credit, for those who buy health insurance. Health Insurance companies can send a 1099-Insurance similar to the 1099 form I get from my student loan company so I have a record for my tax deduction. This will keep the whole tax free health insurance valid, only it will take the power away from corporations and give it back to the worker, where it belongs.

Allow people to create unlimited health savings accounts that are paid with tax free money. They can only be used for the following things. Health care of anyone the owner of the account chooses to pay the health care costs of, funeral services, burial lots and such, and are also fully transferable through their will to any purpose they propose with no limit.

Give health Care providers a strong position to collect unpaid health care bills from deadbeats. Those who wish to pursue payments can, those who do charity can choose to not. But health care providers should have as much right to compensation as any other entity.

Get rid of the health care lottery system. Lawyers who pursue lawsuits over medical malpractice must be paid on a fixed fee or hourly rate basis only, 30% basis makes it a layer's lottery more than actually paying for the actual damages. Pain and suffering must be limited, based on severity and duration of pain. Any punitive damages awarded do not go to the lawyer or the injured, but go to the insurance companies, so long as they are not also the malpractice insurance provider. It will be paid to these insurance providers based on % of past 5 years payments to the health care facility sued. All damages awarded go directly to the injured party, and malpractice insurance provider picks up lawyer fees and court costs. Loser pays for court costs and lawyer fees of person pursuing lawsuit. Malpractice insurance provider always picks up its own lawyer fees.

Allow insurance companies to sell insurance to any person regardless of location. Do not set lower limits on insurance, people who find it in their best interest for a high deductible catastrophic insurance plan should have one available to them. Those who want a more Cadillac plan should have those available. Basically, cross state sales of insurance.

In order to allow for preexisting conditions, allow insurance companies to exempt preexisting conditions from coverage for a set time frame, after which the insurance company would start to pick up some or all costs associated with the preexisting condition. I think some insurance companies already do this with a 2, 3 or 5 year waiting time. This seems fair. A person with preexisting conditions should be able to get health insurance, but health insurance companies should not be forced to pass on preexisting condition costs onto healthy customers, because it dilutes the value of insurance to those healthy customers and causes them to not  feel that paying for it is worth it. People with preexisting conditions can likely count on charity, community and family to help cover many of their preexisting condition expenses.

Get rid of corporate taxes and investment taxes. This includes the death tax, which by a large margin is levied against small businesses and causes many to close. All taxes paid for by businesses are paid by customers. This makes American made products more expensive than outsourced products. This also causes businesses to open foreign plants and close domestic ones. This will do several things. It will increase production in America by Americans and allow Americans to be able to afford health insurance. Along with getting rid of illegal aliens, it will increase wages and move more poor people to middle class. It will improve employment and make workers more valuable through scarcity, and companies that cannot remain in business will go out of business. I do not have a problem with this, if a business cannot pay fair value for work or charge a price people are willing to pay, then they have no reason to be in business. If it means paying more for tomatoes, corn, carrots, shirts, socks, then that is the price that will be paid.

Get rid of medicare and medicaid as well as SCHIP and any other government provided health care benifit. The only exception is Veterans Administration, as we veterans pay for our health care through our blood sweat and tears providing the security through which any one else has the freedom to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, also because the defense of the nation is in fact an enumerated responsibility of the Federal Government.

As far as states, I could care less what they do with health care. If they go the route of Massachusetts or the way of Texas. That is a right that states have. The federal government has no authority to be providing heath care for anyone other than those who serve in the armed forces. Everyone else, including our elected officials and government employees should be paying for their health care through their own pockets. If they chose to do so through insurance, great. If they choose to use a health savings account, awesome. If they can get a charity to pay for it, a relative from their medical savings account, or any other way, more power to them.

There, it is not nice, but it would work. Prices will drop.  More people will become medical care practitioners because they are not discouraged by the government red tape and government underpricing. People will understand that there are values, responsibility and accountability in their health care choices, because the money will come from their own pockets, or from some charitable contribution that they will likely face first hand and know that they got something that has value. Taxes will drop, families will become stronger, values will be solidified, responsibility will be lain down on those who owe it, and accountability will be through self, family and community.

What stopped McCain from winning.

This is a reply I made to a post on Paterico's Pontifications.

Not enough money.
He could have had plenty of money if he had chosen to not disenfranchise as many conservatives as he did. I would have supported him if at any point in time after he picked Palin he would have shown he was going to actually have some conservative values in being president, I think many conservatives felt as I do that they could not in good concience support the Maverick liberal senator who will act as much liberal as conservative once elected.
The fallout from Sarah Palin’s pick.
Sarah Palin had no fall-out, at least not with people who mattered. Sarah Palin is just as loved by moderates as she is by conservatives. John McCain lost this because conservatives allegedly stayed home this election.
Too few (or too many) attacks on Obama.
I agree with both too few attacks that mattered on things people would have changed their minds about. Too many attacks on subjects that would make someone maybe not like Barack Obama as much, but not sway their vote anyways. John McCain was too blind to be able to see the whites of their eyes
Moving to the right instead of acting like the maverick he is.
He moved to the right? I am sorry, I never saw that. Maybe it was when he voted against for the $700,000,000,000.00 start-the-socialism-now bail-out of greedy wall street executives, hide-the-misdeeds-of-the-democratic-congress-over-the-last-30-years, and give hand-outs to people who irresponsibly borrowed more for a house they could not afford? No, that is not likely it.
Impossible polls for the GOP following the Bush Presidency.
McCain led from when he Picked Palin until when he chose to suspend his campaign in order to gather support against for the $700,000,000,000.00 boondogle that Paulson the newly minted king is lording over every single large company in the country. He should have stayed on the right here and demanded that capitalism be allowed to run its course correction, and once the correction was near complete have the government give the economy a jumpstart.
Taking a high-risk approach instead of focusing on his experience and leadership.
I do not understand what his high risk style was. Maybe it was how he tried to out liberal the liberal by promising $300,000,000,000.00 of the $700,000,000,000.00 to the lowlifes who cannot pay for the homes they purchased? That was pretty high risk, in fact I think suicidal. Who the hell was it designed to sway the votes of? The only votes that changed with that were people slightly more willing than me to vote for McCain, and it moved them to either stay home like I did, or to support Barack Obama.
Media support for Obama.
Not a problem, all he had to do was keep up the Celebrity theme. Move it to more aspects of the man, but instead all his comercials were one shots that did not stick in the minds of the viewer. John McCain's best opportunities were when the media had the least opportunity to get in the way of the message. Debates 1, 2 and 3. Each of which were wasted by McCain. Imagine if in the first debate he would have either stayed in Washington and came to the conclusion that the bailout was a mistake and that he would oppose it, sending Palin to stand in for him. It would have humiliated Barack and shown McCain to have a true Country First position. Or if he would have shown up for the debate and told the American people he did not support the bailout, that socialism was not the way for America to go. That capitalism would correct this problem, and that the reason we were in this mess to begin with was because of  the socialistic idea that people who cannot get loans because of their low likely hood of paying the loans off were being given loans by force of government mandate and subsidized by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Just imagine if the bailout proceeded to get passed (with-out John McCain having Voted for it) and everything that has happened since then still happened. Market dives, 401K losses, job losses and a government hamstrung from being able to do anything because it just added over $1,300,000,000,000.00 to the deficit in one month. Think maybe a few people would have decided to go with That Guy in stead of That One?
The timing of the financial meltdown.
Life happens, prove you can lead no matter what happens. In this case McCain was being led down the path to hell by his good masters. If McCain wanted to win he would have opposed the Bailout, and called for immediate tax releif to companies that were going to survive. He would have called for the treasury to step in and help liquidate the assets of the companies that could not survive. He would have done what anyone with a grain of capitalism in his veins would have done. Instead he followed the leaders down the path to demolition of capitalism and sewed the seeds of marxism into our future heritage.
Bad luck.
Bad choices. The party made a bad choice, we got what we chose. McCain chose to be democrat light, another bad choice. There was only one good choice in all of this and that is the choice of Palin as VP and hopefully future President.
 
In the end McCain was his worst enemy in this election. The fact of the matter is that this was his election to lose once he picked Palin. In each and every situation he decided to either retreat or hold position. His only redeeming act in this was his choice for VP, and right now he better keep his redemption by defending her.

Barack Obama Civil Security Force: Why Socialism Demands One.

I think I have figured out why Barack Obama has decided that we need a powerful national civil security force that is as powerful as the military. It is because a national civil security force would not be hamstrung from attacking American Citizens as our military would be. The United States military cannot be used against its citizens, and the people who form the back bone of the military would not allow themselves to be turned against the civilian population, they serve the Constitution, which they respect. The civilian security force would not have these United States of the Constitution restrictions placed on them. The civilian security force would also likely be made up of people who share the views of Barack Obama as well as William Ayers and other people who wish to turn America into the United Socialist States of America because the people who are already serving America serve her in the United States military forces.

When Barack Obama starts to make the changes to this country that he plans to make, many Americans are going to be justly against these changes, and there will eventually come a time when "We the People" are going to be forced to stand up to keep our great nation great. This is when the true nature of the civilian security force will be shown. It will be under the direct command of Barack Obama and will work very much like his truth squads and his radio talk show stopping goon squad’s work. When Americans dare to question Barack first the goon squads will be dispatched to try to over talk them, if this does not work, the truth squads will be set free to prosecute and litigate people into subdued silence, and when all else fails, the National Civilian Security Force will force Americans to remain in their homes, or be taken to reeducation camps, such as what William Ayers and Bernadine Dhorn talked about where 25,000,000 American may need to be terminated in order to bring about socialism. Since then, America has grown much in population and that 25,000,000 may be significantly increased.

Barack Obama's tax plans will hobble our economy and job creation and likely cause a large exodus of money from American companies into other countries industries. Barack Obama's plans for or energy sector will cause massive rolling blackouts and likely many in America will no longer be able to afford to heat their homes in winter or cool them in summer. His plans for powering our transportation needs will cause Americans to give up their freedom for public transportation. His plans for our health care will eventually lead to medical rationing. When all of these problems cause the American freedom loving people to stand up, they will need to be knocked down, and since Barack could not trust in the Military to subdue them, he will need the National Civilian Security Forces to do it.

I am not Joe the Plumber

I personally do not have the ambition of Joe the Plumber to attain my own business. If I get rich, it will be from a lottery ticket, outside that I am perfectly happy being an employee of someone like Joe the plumber. Even though I work as a well enough paid engineer, most of the work I do is for companies that pay taxes as a small business. Many are privately owned companies that provide work to between 100 and 1000 employees. Most American's might think that those are large corporations; I mean I certainly did 10 years ago. But then I worked for my last company, and the owner had plans to add hundreds of thousands of square feet of production floor space and 300ish employees. He personally came around and talked to everyone, even a lowly contract engineer like me. He talked about how he was going to be able to afford this expansion, the reason? Because after tax profits were enough that they could put money into savings to be able to expand and hire new employees. Sure, they got richer, but they did not keep the money selfishly for themselves, they spent it for the greater good. Even while this company was expanding here in America, they were building another plant south of the border. They were moving the low skills jobs to a place that had employees who were ecstatic to do the work for low cost to the company. Every single employee was retained, trained by the company to do more difficult tasks. 200 jobs moved to Mexico and still this company was hiring 300 more. The reason is simple. George W Bush's tax cuts allowed this company to expand to serve their customers when their customers needed more services. I like to work for people like Joe, and millions of Americans like to work for people like Joe.

Joe asked the right question, and amazingly Barack Obama answered honestly. Every American should ask themselves if they want to be Joe, do they want to work for Joe, or do they just want Joe's money? I would benefit from Barack Obama's tax plan for about a year. Then when I go to find a new job working for Joe, Joe will have to tell me that Barack Obama took my wages from him.

Thus my new job will be as a slave to Barack Obama, Barack Obama will control how millions of Americans get the things in life they need. It will start off as welfare payments in the suitably Marxist term refundable tax credits, and move on to government mandated healthcare where rationing is required, and ACORN assisted housing arrangements, food stamps and I will not chose my job, it will be dictated to me and it will likely be a job building the infrastructure that Beijing has, because Barack Obama is suitably impressed by that Marxist communist county's ability get things done against their populations needs and desires.

My children will be slaves to Barack Obama as well. They will be forced to support Barack Obama's socialist agenda by 'volunteering' in order to get college tuition credit.

Because of Barack Obama’s love for Marxist government, he will plant all the seeds in our government and society to make the slippery slope toward communism all but impossible to prevent.

Ads that work

First off the many Republicans deserve to be thrown out with the bath water. They have done nothing to deserve the vote of a conservative. Some of course were conservative, and their constituents should re-elect them.
Heres a list of a few things they did:
Gave out prescription meds for seniors, sure, that is likely to buy alot of votes. 
Refused to fix  social security, how is that working out? Thank you all very much, I sure like the my election first, country last attitudes have.
 
Gave money to ACORN, cause they do not want to look like racists pigs, not exactly turning out the way they expected?
 
Did not really work hard to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, yup that sure as hell helped your re-election prospects, huh rejects?
 
Well, how about a nice big $700,000,000,000.00 bail-out for wall street, do you think that will buy them a few votes in a few weeks?
 
Maybe they can add in some tax breaks for wooden arrows, some lower taxes on imported rum, and you know, they are really are going to get votes for having chosen to do the hardest thing any congresscritter could have ever done, they voted for extending the protection from the dreaded alternative minimum tax monster, you would think that would get us votes!!!! Damn, could you imagine if that vote on extending the protection from the alternative minimum tax was done as a single bill? I bet you could not have gotten many more than 99 Senators to vote for that and not many more than 434 Representatives!!! Thank goodness that was attached to the wooden arrows legislation.
 
Oh, wait, they are not done yet, they also want to give money to people who bought too much house, or refinanced (cashed out) their house for luxury items that other Americans have to earn through hard work and putting off pleasure until they can actually have earned and paid for it, yeah, I am sure that doing a bail-out for irresponsible buyers is surely going to get conservatives elected.

I am sitting this one out. I can survive in any America that ends up happening thanks to all of those conservatives having lost the election.
 
Some of you though want to win the election, and if you really want to, then here is the simple plan. Story line advertising. The celebrity ad did not work simply because it played to Obama's supposed strength, it worked because it was a story people could follow. It started of stating what republicans wanted you to think of him, and then laid out in story detail each instance that proved it was true.
I can say exactly what would have turned this election into a cakewalk for the conservatives. CRA, ACORN, AYERS, Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Chriss Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid all balled up in every single add. But it has to be a story.
Start off with "What Just Happened?" show the effects and then walk it back in each consecutive comercial through each of the bad actors.
Ad one would be the $700,000,000,000.00 bail-out and the stock market crashing and retirement accounts tanking (15 seconds) followed by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae being the cause (15 seconds) Ad in pictures of Democrats posing with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives smiling and shaking hands if possible. Barney Frank: "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing." Announcer: He rolled the dice, and lost. And now you're paying the bill.
Ad two would be Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae executives talking about how good things are along with each CEO's pay-out (15 seconds) followed by Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Christine Waters telling that there is no problem, especially at Fannie Mae (15 seconds). Barney Frank: "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing." Announcer: He rolled the dice, and lost. And now you're paying the bill.
Ad three would be about McCain's proposed bill in 2005 (15 seconds) followed by Barack wrote a strongly worded letter (Leadership? Ready to Lead?) a strongly worded letter from someone who could introduce legislation?(15 seconds). One person was leading, one person was covering his backside. Barney Frank: "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing." Announcer: He rolled the dice, and lost. And now you're paying the bill.
Ad 4 would Go back to when Barack Obama was helping ACORN sue banks into making bad loans, include some wording indicating what happens when bad loans are made. Barney Frank: "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing." Announcer: He rolled the dice, and lost. And now you're paying the bill.
Ad 5 would go back to the CRA and what it was really all about, making risky loans, followed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac required by law Barney Frank to buy as many bad loans as banks could produce, the greed was fed by Government mandate. Barney Frank: "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing." Announcer: He rolled the dice, and lost. And now you're paying the bill.
The final ad would show Barack Obama working with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and would question if America can afford unfettered rule by the people who caused the financial meltdown. Barney Frank: "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing." Announcer: He rolled the dice, and lost. And now you're paying the bill.
 
I would get more information out to the public through full page ads in the major papers. Want to win the election, then each and every single conservative should benifit from this advertizing. But hey, lets just go at this like a bunch of individuals, and not only that, but a bunch of retarded lost individuals that have no direction to the country.

Masters of the Universe Destory world economny, Paulson is Traitor

Henry Paulson, Ben Bernanke and Chris Cox have all pushed an economy on the brink of a moderate recession into a world headed towards a depression. JONATHAN MACEY has the how over at the Wall Stree Journal The Government Is Contributing to the Panic . I will go into the possible reasons here.
 
Who are these people?
Henry Paulson is the Secretary of the Treasuryof the United States of America. The Secretary of the Treasury is the principal economic advisor to the President and plays a critical role in policy-making by bringing an economic and government financial policy perspective to issues facing the government.  The Secretary is responsible for formulating and recommending domestic and international financial, economic, and tax policy, participating in the formulation of broad fiscal policies that have general significance for the economy, and managing the public debt. The Secretary oversees the activities of the Department in carrying out its major law enforcement responsibilities; in serving as the financial agent for the United States Government; and in manufacturing coins and currency. So he has a few things to do.
 
Ben Bernanke is The Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. It is his job to ensure that we have low inflation and for some reason the added responsiblity of keeping unemployment low, two things that many times are mutually exclusive. Fighting inflation sometimes means to keep money tight and slowing the economy down which can cause higher unemployment. Fighting higher unemployment requires speeding the economy up, which adds pressure to the sources of inflation. So he has his work cut out for him, but Alan Greenspan did a remarkable job for many years keeping it all balanced, so it is not an impossible task.
 
Charles Christopher Cox has served as Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since August 3, 2005. The mission of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. Basically the only thing this person has to do is enforce the law and ensure the proper functioning of the financial markets.
 
Can they handle their job titles or was Bush stupid to appoint these people? Looking at the background of each of these people shows a competent person, someone who should be capable of accomplishing the job title they have been appointed to. Henry Paulson ran Goldmans Sachs, he must have done a bang up job there, as he left with hundreds of millions of dollars in bonus'. Ben Bernanke was already a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and worked with Alan Greenspan, he certainly had the experience to do his job. Chris Cox was a member of the House of Representatives for 16 years, giving him ample experience in understanding American Law and the importance of ensuring that it is upheld.
 
So we have three people in very powerful positions, each one should be competant, so why are they failing so badly?
 
Ben Bernanke changed the direction of the Fed, not only does he want the mutually exclusive job of ensuring low inflation and high employment, but adds a third "promoting financial stability," and with it a fourth, regulating "nonbank financial institutions" such as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Lehman Brothers. Taking on too much responsibility and in the process he removes the responsibility for the people who should be responsible. Unfortunately, we cannot blame him as much as, I at least, would like, because it was a lax money supply to keep the economy out of recession that helped fuel the housing bubble.
 
Chris Cox has obviously not been doing his job very well, as pretty much everyone has been doing things they likely should not have been doing. I mean seriously, he has been in his job since 2005, how many NINJA loan comercials have you seen running on TV ads? No Income, No Job, No Assets. If Chris Cox was doing his job starting in 2005, then 50% of the bad mortgages that happened in the last 7 years would not have occured. It is these loans that are destroying our financial system, and if Chris Cox had done his job in 2005, then 3 years later when the house prices fell and the 3 year ARMs came due, there would be far fewer people defaulting on their mortgages.
 
That brings us to Henry Paulson, what has he been doing? Well, it is his job to give advice to the President on how to keep the economy as a whole working like a well oiled machine. What did he do? He went out on the world stage and screamed that the end of the world was upon us, and that he needed unfettered access to all the money in the world to prevent it. He said banks were on the verge of failure, that insurance companies were effectively insolvent, that liquidity in the markets was about the freeze solid, and that this freezing would push ever more companies into failure. Basically he told everyone with money invested in the markets that they would lose their money soon, unless they pulled that money out, and pulled it out now. He then said there were bombs planted in every institution around the world and they would start going off, destroying any money left in those institutions. Is it a suprise then that banks stopped lending money to other banks, who might be about to go bankrupt? That banks who needed money from other banks to lend money to companies that rely on credit to remain in business stopped supporting those business'? Paulson basically set up the dominoes and gave the one at the front a push when he let Lehman Brothers fail.
 
Paulson destroyed this nation's financial system's good name. He had this plan in the works for 18 months. Why did he have to set the fall for now? Why indeed? Look at where we are today. The nation is in the grips of the most hotly contested Presidential Election in many decades. We are at war in two nations against an enemy that spans over 60 countries. Our nation's economy was already teetering at the edge of recession. All that and Paulson decided to scream bomb in a packed theater. What is the reason for that? Every single thing that the $700,000,000,000.00 Paulson plan can do was already available to be used, just under another department. So why push the world into economic epeleptic seisure in order to just move it over to a new department? The only reasons I can think of are; He wants power and picked just the right moment to force congress to conceed to his demands, or he is trying to effect a political coup by destroying the economy in order to get Obama elected president.
 
If he wants power, then he should have done this months ago, because his tenure is up in just a few short months. Unless he only needs the power for a short time in order to accomplish his goals. Almost everything he has done has been to support Goldman Sachs. Allowing Lehman Brothers to fail got rid of a competitor to Goldman Sachs and did great damage to the economy. Not allowing AIG to fail also favored Goldman Sachs who had a $20,000,000,000.00 stake to lose if AIG failed, and Goldman Sachs was the only company that had an employee in the meetings that decided the fate of AIG. Goldman Sachs is up to it's eyeballs in sub-prime mortgage backed securities and that is the exact same thing that Paulson wants to buy at inflated prices from the market, likely including much from Goldman Sachs. So, was this multi trillion dollar inplossion of the world markets set into motion for the selfish needs of Goldman Sachs? Sounds plausible to me.
 
If he wants to get Obama elected, then was this a good strategy? When the economy is the single largest issue on the minds of voters, democrats gain votes. Lets look at this one in detail. The timing is pitch perfect, just 6 weeks from election day. The plan he chose was something out of a socialist wish list, getting the government heavily invested in the private market, almost to 100% of mortgages. then there was the way he treated John McCain. "BOB SCHIEFFER: I am told, Maggie, that the way McCain got involved in this in the first place, the Treasury Secretary was briefing Republicans in the House yesterday, the Republican conference, asked how many were ready to support the bailout plan. Only four of them held up their hands.  Paulson then called, according to my sources, Senator Lindsey Graham, who is very close to John McCain, and told him: you've got to get the people in the McCain campaign, you've got to convince John McCain to give these Republicans some political cover. If you don't do that, this whole bailout plan is going to fail. So that's how, McCain, apparently, became involved. " Then when McCain suspended his campaign, the Democrats came out and claimed, just before McCain landed that a deal had been already brokered, even though it had not. Did Paulson, who has not shown any shyness for camera's up 'til now support McCain by informing the public that he had asked McCain to come help get a deal brokered? His shameful actions made McCain look like an opportunist instead of the "Country First" man that he is and was when he suspended his campaign. To me, this looks like Paulson set up John McCain.
 
I cannot think of any other reasons that Paulson acted the way he has over the last few weeks other than he is helping Goldman Sachs or is helping Barack Obama. While Chris Cox is only guilty of negligence, and Ben Bernanke incompetence, I think that Henry Paulson is guilty of treason.
