         Can it be true? Are Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama secretly scheming behind closed doors to sneak government-run health care past the American people in the dark of night?

         According to McClatchy Newspapers, "the Obama White House has launched a behind-the-scenes campaign," in an attempt to "quietly," "build support for the public option," and Barack Obama has personally telephoned more than a dozen key lawmakers.

         McClatchy tells us that this recent White House initiative is "unfolding largely out of public view" and speaks of a flurry of "private meetings" between congressional staffers and senior White House officials.

         Let us not forget, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh recently warned us of a "secret plan to pass the public option."

         And Limbaugh also warned his listeners of the end result:

    "[I]n one move the US Congress will take over hospitals, will take over laboratories, will take over the medical profession, will take over the insurance companies. What they are planning … let me point it out to you in an even more understandable fashion. What they are plotting and hope to pull off by next week will make the takeovers of General Motors and Chrysler look like a joke."

         With their allies in the liberal media in tow, Obama, Pelosi, Reid and other extreme leftists in the House and Senate blitzed the American people with a deceptive and disgusting public relations campaign that was designed to deceive all of us into thinking that the world would stop spinning without immediate so-called "health care reform."

         There's no time to lose... no time to do it right, they essentially told us. "Reforms" were so urgently and desperately needed that they didn't even have the time to read 1,000-plus page bills prior to voting on them.

         “You'll just have to trust us,” they said.

         But they grossly underestimated the intelligence of the American people... we weren't buying it. We wanted details.

         And once the American people saw just a glimpse of what they had in store for us... rationing of care... waiting lines at the doctor's office as long as those at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)... so-called end-of-life counselors who would likely have the raw power and compassion of IRS agents... drastic cuts in existing Medicare benefits... trillions of dollars more in debt ... we said no.

         But Obama and Pelosi and Reid just won't take no for an answer and they've already shown us in the past (with the so-called Stimulus Bill and the effective takeover of AIG and General Motors and Chrysler) that if they can't advance their far-left agenda through slick public relations campaigns, they have no problem resorting to procedural shenanigans or back-room deals or chicanery or secrecy and stealth.

         And so it goes with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who promised the American people unprecedented levels of "transparency" on so many occasions.

         Limbaugh said it best: "The Harry Reid, Pelosi, Obama plan comes down to this: The Democrats are scheming against the American people, as they have been all along. The Obama administration, starting with the campaign, was a scheme against the American people and against the traditions and institutions that have defined this country's greatness."

         But now that you know what they're up to... you can stop them... right now. If we stick together and keep speaking out, our elected officials will know that when it comes to ObamaCare, "no" means "no."


    Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Faxes to President Obama, each and every Republican Member of the United States Senate and the twelve so-called moderate Democratic Members of the Senate (Nelson, Lieberman, Lincoln, Pryor, Landrieu, Bayh, Warner, Begich, Bennett, Tester, Webb and Gillibrand) who claim to be sitting on the fence when it comes to ObamaCare.

    Or alternately, you can send your urgent and personalized Blast Faxes to Barack Obama and each and every Member of the House and Senate... that's over 500 Blast Faxes.

    Tell these elected officials to just say "no" to ObamaCare. No compromises... no secretive back-room deals... no legislative chicanery... no procedural tricks... no dark-of-night votes. When it comes to health care reform, stop it, scrap it and start over with measures that will actually make health care more accessible and affordable to Americans (such as tort reform and free-market solutions designed to increase competition).

    The Devil Is In The Details.

    (possibly in a matter of days) to pass ObamaCare through stealth.

    “President Obama and liberals in Congress seem intent on passing comprehensive health care reform, even though polls suggest it is unpopular with the American people... the President and left-wing leadership in Congress are determined to pass the measure using a rare parliamentary procedure.”

         Darling adds:

    “The Senate plans to attach ObamaCare to a House-passed non-healthcare bill. Ironically, nobody knows what that legislation [will] look like, because it has not yet been written. Yet many members plan to rubber-stamp Obamacare without reading or understanding the bill.”

         Essentially what Darling is saying is that Reid is planning on taking the extraordinary step of bringing a health care bill of his own making immediately to the Senate floor which combines measures from the Baucus Senate Finance Committee bill with the bill passed by the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee.

         And you can bet your bottom dollar that it won’t be pretty.

         Since Reid would move quickly (and most legislators won't bother to read it anyway) he could literally strip the parts of each bill he doesn't like and leave in measures he likes... the public option... the individual mandate… drastic cuts in Medicare benefits for seniors… massive tax increases…

         And what happens next? Darling explains:

    “Once the Senate passes a bill and sends it to the House, all the House would have to do is pass the bill without changes and President Obama will be presented with his health care reform measure.”

         Rush Limbaugh explains what’s happening in a little more detail:

    "Here's how they're going to do this: 'The Senate plans to attach Obamacare to a House-passed non-healthcare bill' that has nothing to do with health care. You say, 'Well, Rush, how do they do that?'

    "So they've got two bills in the Senate. They got Harkin's bill, they got Baucus' bill, two different committees. Harry Reid is going to take the parts of both of these bills that he likes and merge them, come up with one bill and take it to the Senate floor. Now, after they've got their health care bill to the Senate floor, as you know the House has to do something on this as well. The House health care bill hasn't passed. But there is a bill in the House that's been collecting dust over there that has passed, it's sitting around. The Senate hasn't taken any action on that bill. That is a bill that imposes a tax on bonuses received by certain TARP recipients. That was passed by the House in the wake of the AIG bonus controversy.

    "This is all part of the stratagem. What this means is that the entire health care reform effort will be included as an amendment to the TARP bill that has been collecting dust in the Senate for months because the House passed it long ago, the Senate hasn't taken any action on it so Reid is going to merge these two health care bills, attach it to the TARP bill basically as an amendment and then have the TARP bill passed, the bonus bill passed in the Senate."


         Reid, with Obama’s assistance, may be crafting the legislation that will spell the end to our health care system as we know it.

         The time to speak out is now.

    The Leftists Advance While Conservatives Tap Dance.

    ObamaCare, far too many conservatives do not appear to be grounded... appear too willing to cave in the face of this threat.

         While leftists advance, too many conservatives are twiddling their thumbs... playing politics-as-usual.

         Far too many of them (not all of them thankfully) are bending over backward to appear "fair" and "reasonable." Comity is still the word of the day for them even though the opposition forgot the meaning of the word long ago.

         And for some, compromise is still an admirable goal, because, after all... that's just the way things are done... the way the game is played ... Right? ... Wrong.

         No good can come from compromising on something that hands over 16 percent of the economy to the federal government… no good can come from the federal government having control over your family’s health care decisions.

         And where has this desire to play fair gotten conservatives? Liberals are using it as a weapon against them and making them look weak, wishy-washy, duplicitous and ungrounded.

         Here's an example. On Friday, former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist appeared to tell Time Magazine’s Karen Tumulty that he would support health care legislation. Specifically he said he would have ended up "voting for it. As leader, I would take heat for it...That's what leadership is all about."

         By Tuesday, Frist was tap dancing, claiming that he had been taken out of context. Frist told CNBC that he meant to say he would vote for a "market-based" bi-partisan bill but said of the proposals presently on the floor of the House and the Senate; "Right now, in the shape that each of those are in, I wouldn't vote for any of them."

         "Market-based bi-partisan bill?" ... what's he talking about? When it comes to ObamaCare, that's a contradiction in terms.

         It gets even more confusing. Jordan Fabian with The Hill writes:

    "Frist, however, insisted that Tumulty's piece 'was exactly right' in that it captured his thoughts on specific provisions of reform legislation like expanding coverage and controlling costs."

         "Exactly right?" ... Several sentences later, Fabian writes;

    "Last week, Frist signaled support for a public option 'trigger' that would provide public health insurance if private insurers do not meet certain benchmarks. But he did not address the public option today."

         And finally, as reported by Patricia Zengerle with Reuters;

    "Frist later said proposals backed by congressional Democrats would raise taxes and increase insurance premiums and said he would not vote for any of them without major changes."

         "Major changes?" Excuse us? The American people are not asking for "major changes" to ObamaCare. The American people want ObamaCare scrapped completely.

         Congress must start over with legislation that is truly bipartisan and market-based – legislation that doesn’t put the federal government in control of you and your family’s health care decisions.

    Some More Examples... And One Governor Who Has It Right.

    Reuters:

    "The Obama administration has adopted a new tactic in its push for healthcare reform: touting the support of Republicans.... Seeking to portray opponents of the legislation as isolated from mainstream America and even from prominent members of the Republican Party, the White House on Tuesday distributed a statement from Arnold Schwarzenegger, California's Republican governor, urging the passage of national healthcare reform."

         Zengerle continues:

    "On Monday, it [The White House] sent out a statement by Tommy Thompson, a former Republican governor of Wisconsin and presidential candidate who was former President George W. Bush's health secretary, endorsing a plan coming through the Senate Finance Committee."

    "'It (the plan) moves us down the path of providing affordable high-quality health care for all and expanding coverage for millions,' said Thompson's statement, issued with Richard Gephardt, a former Democratic leader in Congress."


         And what was the Republican reaction?

         Zengerle again:

    "Republican leaders said the Republicans' positions were misrepresented by the White House and that they shared the concerns raised by congressional Republicans."

         "Misrepresented" ... that's all Republican leaders could say?

         Of course, there are some Republicans out there who get it.

         Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal hit the nail squarely on the head in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post:

    "[M]emo to Washington: The debate on health care has moved on. Democratic plans for a government takeover are passé. The people don't want it. Believe the polls, the town halls, the voters. Only Democrats in Washington would propose new taxes on businesses and families in the middle of a recession, $900 billion in new spending at a time of record deficits, and increased taxes on health insurance and products to reduce health-care costs."

    "Washington is the only place in the country that doesn't realize that this debate is over. Democrats may march forward anyway, but they will do so without the people, and at their own peril.

    "But Republicans must shift gears. Conservatives should seize the mantle of reform and lead. Conservatives either genuinely believe that conservative principles will work to solve real- world problems such as health care or they don't. I believe they will.

    "The people do not want Republicans to offer their own thousand-page plan to overhaul health care, and that is not what the nation needs."


         Every Republican officeholder in the country should heed Jindal's words.

    Obama, Reid, Pelosi: Pass The Government-Run Public Option At Any Cost.


    what’s going on in Congress has little or nothing to do with improving – or reducing the cost of – health care.

         If it did, Obama and Pelosi and Reid would heed the cries of the majority to kill the bogus “reform.”

         It's obviously not “affordable” as it would add trillions to an already-bloated national debt.

         As for advancing “health,” most of us already know that it will lead to rationing and denial of care, particularly for the elderly.

         Finally, on the matter of “choice,” the public option will lead to fewer choices initially... and no choices eventually.

         And is mandating that Americans buy health insurance or pay huge fines part of our country’s best traditions? Of course not.

         What people like Reid and Pelosi and Obama don’t understand (or perhaps they do) is that someone who tries to lead without listening to the people is nothing more than a dictator.

         We need to demand that all elected officials be resolute – relentless – in doing everything possible to stop this mad rush toward socialized medicine.

         We must act now!

  • actors

    Frankly I think actors should stick with what they do worst.  After all how many of them set any example in moral or ethical decency.  And yet they are treated like gods for no good reason.  They're filthy rich and yet they hold fund raisers so other people can give money to their cause.  How absurd is that?  They criticize elected officials while they have never held a public office.  They marry, divorce, and marry again like it was some sort of sport instead of a serious commitment.  They have babies, abort babies and neglect the ones they do keep and then decry efforts by decent people to teach others not to do the same.  And then they die and you would think the world came to an end because of them.  Such a pity California doesn't actually fall into the ocean and instantly disintegrate!!  Have a nice day ya'll.

  • NOT IN MY AMERICA

    http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10"> name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10">

    NOT IN MY AMERICA!

     

     

                I am a conservative. I was born a conservative, I was raised a conservative, I vote conservative.  And I will die a conservative.  I’m proud to be a conservative.  I’m proud of my country’s high moral standards and I will not sacrifice them on the altar of liberal idealism that is a hypocritical sham and a failure.

     

                I love my liberal friends.  I have to, to have God’s blessing.  But their plans for big government and political aristocracy are wrong!  When my liberal friends say we have to have legalized abortion to protect women and children, I say go ahead-you can have your legalized abortion-in anothercountry, but not in my America.  When my liberal friends say we need to be nice to homosexuals and give them special undeserved privileges and treat them like they were handicapped, I say go ahead-coddle up to homosexuals-but do it in another country, not in my America.

     

                When my liberal friends say we need to keep raising taxes and increasing welfare to support all kinds of absurd government programs-I say go ahead-you can have your taxes and big government in another country-but not in my America.  When my liberal friends say we must have free speech, but be careful not to say anything religious or conservative or teach that there are any absolute standards that govern right and wrong.  I say go ahead-say what you want to-in another country, but not in my America.

     

                This country was founded on the basis of life-which includes unborn babies, liberty-which includes free speech, and the pursuit of happiness-which means the government won’t be breathing down my neck, burdening me with excessive taxation and ‘advances’ that are morally repulsive.  Such actions are tyranny.  And I will not be subject to tyranny!  To my liberal friends I say quit marching on the graves of my Founding Fathers with your anti-American, insensible efforts at changing America’s Constitution and what America stands for. Quit stomping on the blood of the Patriots who for 230 years have fought to make us free, while our enemies fought to make us slaves.  Quit treating with contempt the patriotism of those who died for love of God and country while others died for hatred.  Quit listening to wealthy idealists who aren’t willing to sacrifice the sweat of their brow or the time in their day to come to the aid of America in need! 

     

                We’ve seen the protesters, we’ve seen the draft dodgers,we’ve seen what they stand for-a weak America, bowing to other nations and regimes and incapable of defending herself.  We’ve seen the 9/11’s and the hopes and aspirations of our enemies. We’ve seen it and we reject it! If that’s what you want, then go ahead, find it-somewhere else, but not in my America!  If you want a new Constitution-then go find your own country and write one-but not in my America!  If you want a country like the Netherlands which has dismantled marriage, which has rampant teen pregnancy and sexual diseases, where going to the hospital and receiving a terminal diagnosis may mean the termination of your life!  If you want that kind of fear and oppression from your government then go ahead, have it in another country, but not in my America!  We will continue to cling to these inalienable truths that men and women are responsible to their Creator to abide by His moral law! 

     

                America bows to no one, America honors no foreign law.  America is sovereign and that’s the way it’s going to stay!  You can have your unconstitutional principles, you can say that they will work better, you can believe that they are useful, but NOT IN MY AMERICA!

    Now and Forever,

    A Conservative American!

  • LET ME SAY IT AGAIN!

    It's time for all good Christians to get off the fence and get involved in life. Lives are being lost to abortion, children are being indoctrinated with false teaching about sexuality. All the while our economy is crumbling and I fear is on the verge of complete collapse. And yet in these dire times some politicians still have the gall to give money away to irresponsible bankers and auto-makers who have already proven that they don't have the ability to manage it properly. Some still want to give big bonuses to people who it appears have failed to earn them. Has it occurred to anyone that just maybe there is a connection between our lack of moral standards and our economic problems?? I think there is a distinct possibility and I think it is time to give serious consideration to ditching many of the people who have gotten us into this mess in the first place. I suggest that beginning in 2010 we need to throw out all of the incumbents in the state and federal government and begin anew with men and women of integrity. We need men and women who will pledge allegiance to the constitution as it is written, not as they wish to see it written. Don't you agree?? I hope you do and that you will join my cause. Now is the time to begin anew. Now is the time to begin choosing people of integrity and helping them prepare for the rough road ahead. America belongs to Christians. America was founded by Christians. America was governed by Christians. And America can be saved by Christians if we will set our hearts and minds to the cause. Please let me know that you will join this noble cause.

    REMEMBER THIS:  At the time of the American Revolution Edmund Burke said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
