Is Obama facilitating change or forcing it? Here’s today’s quote.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. ~ William Pitt
In our recent political history, this might be applied to some of the actions of GW Bush, such as the war on Iraq, wiretapping, suspending habeas corpus for Gitmo detainees, etc.
It could also be applied to the Obama Administration, in the way that they forced through their various enormous spending bills, as well as their upcoming “carbon offsets” (a.k.a as ‘cap and trade’) legislation. Trust me, it will be urgent and necessary.
As we have seen in the Obama administration, you don’t need time to read or openly debate legislation, you just need time to manipulate a majority vote.
As Newt Gingrich pointed out today in What’s Going on in Massachusetts?, Scot Brown, the GOP challenger in Massechusetts in the run for former Senator Ted Kennedy’s seat, raised $1.3B this past week alone, and is now neck and neck with the liberal candidate. This is remarkable because MA might be the most liberal state in our nation, and if it is having this trouble, this might be a sign of what’s to come in the midterm elections.
One of my friends thinks that it’s just a reflection of conservative angst, not a movement or trend. Newt and I disagree with him. We see it, albeit with hope, as a sign of what is really happening — the nation is finally waking up to the false promises (read “lies”) of liberal economics and policy in general.
I don’t often curse, especially in print, but can I just say that the current administration’s health care and climate plans are the height of idiocy! Especially since these crises are largely manufactured, and not real. The health care ‘crisis’ is really a crisis of EMPLOYMENT, which the Obama admin, despite their claims of saving jobs (‘Mission accomplished’), has run into the ground since Bush, promising us that it would have been worse without it (even though under their plan, unemployment got even worse than their projections had we done nothing).
So here’s some conservative ‘spam’ that is making the viral rounds. OBAMACAREISANABOMINATION, and he is turning out to be one of the worst presidents in history.

Senator Bayh,
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill
before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the
brazenness of the government’s proposed involvement in the
patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will
dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in
designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work
with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed
bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if
passed.
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following
troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe
that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our
fellow citizens.
Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of
all employers that self-insure!!
Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill: THEREWILLBE A GOVTCOMMITTEE that
decides what treatments/benefits you get.
Page 29 lines 4–16 in the HC bill: YOURHEALTHCAREISRATIONED!!!
George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for.
The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.
Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he was finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.
Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she was finished the devil informs her that cost is 6 million dollars, so Queen Elizabeth writes him a check.
Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he was finished the devil informed him that there would be no charge for the call and feel free to call the USA anytime.
When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA free.
The devil replied, “Since Obama became president of the U.S. the country has gone to hell, so naturally it’s a local call.”
Conservatives are getting tired of Obamanomics — it’s just plain idiotic to think that we can tax, spend, and borrow our way out of our economic problems. It’s contrary to reason and history. In fact, as Orrin Hatch recently remarked in exasperation at this anti-sense position, it’s stupid.
1.Government Health Care Takeover. The Senate debate of health care is now underway. Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid wants a vote to take place before Christmas. Strongly
urge your two Senators to oppose this bill at 202–224-3121.Send “Pink Slips” to all of them (as well as each Congressman) here.
2. Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. There
is great concern that the U.S. will enter into some type of agreement
when world leaders meet in Denmark for a global climate change
conference that starts on Monday.
This treaty would be devastating to our economy and sovereignty. The
U.S. could also be asked to contribute billions of dollars toward
implementing this. Call the White House at 202–456-1414 and your two Senators at 202–224-3121 to express opposition to this treaty. A number of large companies, including Coca-Cola, are supporting the treaty efforts.. Call them, and strongly urge them to withdraw their support for Copenhagen.
3. Energy Tax Bill.
It’s appearing less and less likely that a “cap-and-trade” bill will
pass this year, but we must not become complacent about it. It has
already passed by the House and sub-committees in the Senate. Continue
to ask your Senators to oppose this bill at 202–224-3121. Contact the companies
supporting this and consider boycotting them, including BP America,
Chrysler, Coca-Cola, Ford, General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Nike,
and Pepsi.
4. Safe School Czar. Kevin Jennings, the homosexual activist who was recently chosen by the
President to run the Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools. Call your
Congressman at 202–224-3121 to ask Congress to expel Jennings. Then,
send letters to the President and your Congressional leaders through expeljennings.org
