Be A Czar!
CLASSIC! YOU can be a Czar too! Of whatever you want! Get your Czar gear today!
Please ring some phones!!
Please remember that the current Obamacare legislation:
- Cuts Medicare for seniors by $500 billion.
- Will lead to doctors – and medical institutions – refusing to treat Medicare patients.
- Forces every American to buy health insurance under the penalty of a fine or jail.
- Establishes a Medicare Advisory Board of government bureaucrats empowered to ration health care for seniors, cut their benefits.
- Will not lead to a cost savings once the doc fix is added, and it will be.
There is so much more wrong with this bill. The fact is we may never have a better opportunity than now to stop the radical Obamacare.
It is urgent key members of Congress hear from you.

Tell your Congressman you OPPOSE the Obamacare Plan and that they must vote AGAINST it!
Tea Party Tomorrow!
We were THISCLOSE to packing some clothes and heading out at midnight last night to drive to DC.
That’s when we would need to leave to make it there. In the end, we discussed what responsibilities we had here at home, with an elderly mom and jobs and a mortgage to pay. We decided it would be difficult at best to make it there in time, and that it would make it next to impossible to pay our bills if we used the money on gas, food and hotel rooms for a trip to this rally.
Then it hit me. THIS is why the Tea Party movement is an incredible phenomenon in and of itself! Most conservatives, regardless of party affiliation, are RESPONSIBLE people who pay their own way and don’t expect handouts. Much too responsible to drop all the things they have to do for their families and their employers, or employees, to just run to a rally. No matter how important the protest.
I have been to several. We have given up lunches and rearranged schedules to dri
ve as many as 7 hours to attend them. It’s THAT important to us that this travesty called “health care reform” not be passed into law. The double counting, fuzzy math, backroom dealing, stealing from the elderly and flat out LYING in this bill…not to mention the fact that they are disregarding the directive of the American people AND the CONSTITUTION to do it!
There are are so many people that don’t see the whole picture. We do not have people dying in the streets for lack of health care. Doctors and hospitals aren’t turning people away for lack of insurance. I worked in health care for over 20 years. We saw people without insurance all the time. Medicare and Medicaid need to be fixed and expanded, if there really are people not covered. Absolutely. Do THAT first. And the insurance companies need to have some guidelines as to not being able to drop people when they get sick. That’s why we pay for insurance in the first place. Duh. Allow insurance sales across state lines. Make them work for our business. But this bill doesn’t do that and will end the health care we have now…the best health care in the world. Health care workers need to CALL THEIR REPS! Tell them to VOTE NO!
This makes me so sick. I just watched Pelosi…again…say she is assured of a victory “for the American people”. This health care travesty is NOT what MOST of us want and I am livid. They have no business issuing “rights” and the folks that elected them to office don’t either. I will be here tomorrow, calling whoever I can to beg them to vote no. Please do the same. Call them. E-mail them. Go to their office. Please ask them to vote no. This is not what we want.

If you want to make your voice heard on the health-care bill before the House votes on Sunday, you’d better do so quickly. To make things easier for you, here, organized in alphabetical order by state, are the 40 key Democratic members of Congress whom Jeff Anderson and Andy Wickersham identified in a Critical Condition post last week, together with their direct Capitol Hill office phone numbers. (I haven’t kept track of all the developments since then, but it would be useful to congratulate or berate your member, as you see fit, if he or she has firmly adopted a position.)
The “(S)” means that the member voted for the Stupak amendment last fall.
The full House phone directory is here.

Call to Rally in D.C.
The liberals are trying to push this vote through on a Sunday during Lent to keep us from being able to contact our Reps and voicing our opinions. So, Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Steve King (R-IA) to try to organize a tea party rally at the Capitol on Saturday. If anyone is available at this short notice to go to DC, you can RSVP at the site below. If you want to support those going, check out the site anyhow. I will be praying for everyone who can make the trip and calling to see what else I can do to help.
Let’s not forget these are the same folks who have been screaming about a woman’s “RIGHT” to choose what to do with her own body regarding abortion…the killing of another person for your own convenience. And yet…they want to make it Federal law that the Government can tell EVERYONE what they can do with their bodies regarding healthcare!! As usual, they make no sense at all. Don’t sit back and let them vote this in to law!
People’s Saturday Surge on DC
Miss me yet?
OMG, this is hilarious.
You know what? I do. And not for the reasons that you might think. Sure, I felt safer and less like we were headed into a Socialist situation. There was plenty of partisan bickering then, too, so that’s not new. But, dang, did we see Bush as much in 8 years as we’ve seen Obama in one? The press corps were complaining they hadn’t seen Obama in “awhile”. Really? Cuz I see him everywhere. Every day. Speeches and speeches worth.
Anyhow, the billboard. Could be Photoshopped, but it’s not. This is actually a real sign and it was paid for by a group of small business people in Wyoming, Minnesota who feel like Washington DC is against them. I feel like Washington DC is against Americans in general. Even those that voted for them. I still feel like both sides of the aisle think they were elected to royalty instead of public service. Especially the “Commander in Chief”. He basically said today that he will do what he wants, regardless of what is decided in Congress. Really? So, basically, he is the King and we lowly subjects do not have enough sense to know what we want.
He said today that the “public soured on process…contaminated how they viewed substance”. Really? Guess what? I think we were “soured” on the substance…the pork, the idiocy, the audacity. There are some really simple things to do that cost nothing. Let’s try those first! What is wrong with allowing insurance sales across state lines as a starter? It would cost NOTHING and it would spur competition and lower prices, better coverage, more customer service. What exactly is the problem with this? It could be done in a matter of weeks. It would NOT take 2900 pages of BULLSH!T to put in place. NO one would have to be paid off to vote for it. Even better…make it a stipulation that any company that sells health insurance may NOT drop a customer due to illness and they cannot deny policies to those with pre-existing conditions. There, done. You want to be in the health insurance business, you play by these rules. Doesn’t take 2900 pages.
I wonder how it is that Washington DC is rife with people who have NO common sense at all. Oh. Maybe it’s that the people who voted them into office had none. Sure sucks when your fellow Americans vote based on a false promise of transparency and lots of free goodies from the government. Oh, wait. The free goodies are NOT from Obama…they are from you & me, the TAXPAYERS.
Yeah, I miss Bush. I coulda lived without this particular change.
Well said, Harold
Found this on the internet…and Snopes has it verified. As “proud” as Michelle Obama is “finally’ feeling of our Country…I am equally ashamed of this administration and hoping it lasts no more than one term. We cannot afford more.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
# “We’re no longer a Christian nation”
# “America is arrogant” – (Your wife even announced to the world, “America is mean-spirited.” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you but I don’t think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said, “America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.” Which ones did you mean?
1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ?
2. Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?
3. I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellahs I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.
4. I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their
people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
~~~~~~~~~~~
Good for Harold. Well said, Sir.
I’m a Right Wing Nut
The liberals are nuts. Just plain and simple. And liars. Cuz there is NO way they read this bill and can still honestly still say it is what Americans “want”, let alone what we need. They are either communists…in which case this is about control, stupid…in which case they just don’t get it, or seriously deluded…which is the same as stupid, but more dangerous. In any case, they need to go. Away from Washington DC. Game over. They need to be fired. Come 2010, I believe we will send them away. Until then, we need to keep being vocal about what we really want.
We went to a Tea Party last week in Amarillo, TX. Long drive, but well worth it. There were hundreds of us, and? 5 protesters with signs opposing us.
Note to Pelosi
Nancy. Madam Speaker. Princess. Whatever. You need to understand this, and I have finally figured out what it is that you don’t get.
YOU think we’re angry. YOU think we are having town hall “tantrums” like little children, because we didn’t get our way. That is absolutely wrong. What you are seeing at town halls and tea parties is not anger. Anger is mild compared to what we feel and our passion is not born of resentment or disappointment. Don’t get me wrong, we feel that too. Very strongly. Every time you speak, I feel that. But no, this is different.
What we feel is beyond anger, beyond disappointment. What we feel is outraged.
You and your cronies have been chiseling away at the backbone of this country for the few years you have been in the majority. Understand you are only in the majority in Washington. In less than a year, you and Obama have taken this country in a direction that I cannot imagine any true American would even joke about going. I can only believe you are all completely insane, and I would feel sorry for you if you weren’t endangering the country I love.
Earlier this week a woman called in to Rush Limbaugh’s show. Yes, I know how you hate Rush. Maybe it’s actually demon possession…don’t they go crazy at the sound of truth being spoken? But truth is what this woman spoke and I really wish you could listen to her. She is a fellow Californian, one of your people, if not a “constituent”, per se.
But you should listen. Because there are more of us every day. Every day, one more person…or a hundred, depending on what stupid, irresponsible, communistic thing you and your cronies have pulled that day…become outraged and join our ranks. So stop your bawling and crybaby act. YOU are doing this, Nancy. Obama is doing this. We were asleep…and you partied too loud and took too much advantage. Now we’re awake…and we’re beyond angry. WE ARE OUTRAGED.
Here is part one of Susan’s call on YouTube – there are three parts:

Goes right along with all the rest of the predictable crap that is our fearful leader. I bet there’s even a string and a little plastic ring coming out of his back. Gah.
*clicking my heels together 3 times* There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.
Killing Capitalism
The liberals hate Capitalism. That’s what they say is ruining everything THEY want. Let’s kill Capitalism. The two CHILDREN on Hannity last night want to pay for everything by taxing the beejeezus out of anyone who makes over $500K a year. In their University of Pittsburgh not-even-graduated-yet super intellects, they have determined no one is worth more than that, so the rest of the money should just be handed out to people who don’t make that much.
This is what they teach in college.
So, here’s the deal. And I’m going to yell it, because I am so frustrated with the stupidity of the left.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR ANYTHING IF YOU KILL CAPITALISM? CAPITALISM IS WHERE THE TAX MONEY COMES FROM, YOU FREAKING MORONS!
Honestly, I do not understand how people get their brains so broken that they can’t even understand basic common sense. Do they really think that the government MAKES the money? They PRINT PAPER! The VALUE in it come from CAPITALISM! It comes from BUSINESS! It comes from businesses making products and providing services that are worth MONEY in exchange from CUSTOMERS! Customers CANNOT buy things if they don’t have JOBS! If a company can’t make money, and grow by making PROFIT they will go out of business and then there are NO JOBS! If there are NO businesses and NO jobs, NO ONE IS PAYING TAXES! If there are no taxes being paid, THEN THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOTHING TO GIVE AWAY BUT PAPER!!
OK, let’s get to the basics. The definition:
Capitalism n. An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
So it makes sense to support capitalism. Tax breaks for companies that provide for certain services, so that the government doesn’t have to. The government is not good at business. They should stick to governing and if they don’t like something that business does, provide and incentive to change it. Examples:
If they don’t like companies moving jobs overseas, make if financially worth it to stay here. Higher taxes for companies who have more than 25% of their workforce elsewhere.
If they don’t like insurance companies dropping sick people or refusing them coverage for pre-existing conditions, make it illegal to do that. Isn’t that what they DO there? Make a freaking law!
But there cannot be freedom in a country where the government owns the car companies, the banks, the farms, the hospitals, the newspapers, the whatever-the-hell-they’re-gonna-buy-next…that makes it where the PEOPLE work for the GOVERNMENT. That takes any power away from the people. That is NOT what this country is all about.
The government is supposed to work for the people. They work for us! Don’t let them take over control of this country. Capitalism…makes it possible for ANYONE to start a business or go to school and get a great job and make a crapload of money if someone deems them worth it. Then the government taxes them and that’s where the money for welfare and medicare and medicaid comes from. That’s how it all works. It is PART OF BEING A FREE COUNTRY!
Capitalism is not the problem, people. Government corruption is the problem. And for all you idiots who listen to Michael Moore, and Al Gore, and the Hollywood lefties…go dig up how much money THEY make. Find out how much THEY donate to the poor and how much they pay in taxes. They ARE capitalists! Just like the left in DC, they are all a bunch of hypocrites.
If you want to live under a dictator and let the government tell you what to do with your money, and your life…move to Venezuela or Iran or China. And good luck with that.
SNL has it’s moments…
As annoying as the usually completely koolaid-soaked BS on this show is…they have their moments. At least they recognize how ridiculous it is for Obama to cut one network out because he doesn’t like what they say about him. Truth hurts, don’t it, Mr. Messiah? Whatever. Crybaby in Chief. Have a look:
Glenn Beck should be very flattered. The more nuts they make you look on SNL, the more you probably make sense to the rest of us. Case in point: Sarah Palin…“I’m goin’ roguuue!!” It was funny…and the left is so threatened, they have to make her look loony. Like Glenn. So. BRAVO Glenn!
