Hypothesis: oBBama will use H1N1 to force socialize health care

September 20, 2009 · 11 Comments

oBBama’s chief of staff has been quoted as recommending to always take advantage of a crisis. Why? Because only when there’s a crisis can government force people to take their shit. Only when people are worried about their security can government gain more ground in regulation and taxes. This was true in the Great Depression which begat the socialized New Deal programs. It is always true in war during which people turn a blind eye to internment camps, it was true after 9/11 when everyone in the country was worried about terrorists, and it was true during the economic crisis of 2008-09. In each case, there was a crisis in confidence and the government took advantage of it but increasing their control over society “for our own good.”

I have an eerie feeling about some things that I’ve been seeing recently that have to do with this crisis=government growth philosophy.

First, oBBama has received considerable flack for his shitty health care reform plan. Half the country is vehemently opposed to it and a few people like it (the others are getting paid to like it).

Second, we’ve been hearing rumors about H1N1 getting worse and that “they” are expecting a really bad pandemic.

Third, military personnel have been forced to take the flu vaccine, which indicates drastic measure in preparation for the predicted outbreak.

So, what does that mean? Nothing yet, but if there is a major outbreak of H1N1, I will look for oBBama to angle it in such a way (either by restricting vaccinations or monopolizing them through the government) that will make socialize medicine look like a good idea. I can imagine his goons monopolizing the vaccine and using it as leverage to force people into a recommended national health program.

What happens if the liberal fascists get control of the health care system is beyond the scope of this post, but I will guarantee it won’t be pretty.

I hope nothing disastrous happens, but I wouldn’t put it past the oBBama administration to use such a crisis to increase their socialized ways.

Which party is unemployed most?

June 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

With the unemployment numbers getting nastier, I thought I’d check out who is losing their jobs and who’s still employed. If you look at the state-by-state comparison, it appears that those who voted for Obama are losing their jobs faster than those who voted for McCain even despite the bullshit bailouts for businesses centered in Michigan (cars) and California (banks). Of course, this is a loose comparison–a better one would be one that showed the percentage of presidental victory along with percentage of unemployment.

Read ‘em and weep:

I don’t have health insurance

June 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I don’t have health insurance. Why? Because it is a broken-ass system. It takes money from healthy people and gives it to unhealthy people, most of whom choose to be unhealthy. Let’s be honest, all those type-II diabetics, eggs and bacon eating heart patients, smoking emphysema patients CHOOSE to be unhealthy and through their own will and government regulation, pay the medical bills for those patients. They pay for triple bypass surgery for a chronic over eater; they pay for cancer treatment of life-time smokers; and yes, they pay for gerbil-in-the-ass removal from kinky sex addicts. Those medical procedures take their toll and disproportionately benefit unhealthy people. True, there is some discount in insurance premiums for healthy people, but someone who is never sick still has to pay up tp $200 a month (without employer assistance) for basic coverage.

The main purpose for insurance is to insure people against unforeseen medical problems–complete accidents or aberrations. But insurance has become the catchall payment plan for the common cold, paper cuts, and chosen ailments like the ones mentioned above. So, I don’t want to contribute to that pool.

The problem is that some people don’t want to leave well enough alone. Obama and his ilk are touting socialized health scare that will provide (as they call it) free health care to the masses through government-run institutions. That’s still all well and good, except for the fact that it isn’t free–someone’s going to pay for it–and one of those people is me, who consciously rejects the idea of healthy people paying for unhealthy people. Obama wants to FORCE me to pay into a corrupt-as-Cain health system. Fuck that.

I’m not insured and Obama and his minions use that as a ploy to encourage socialized medicine: “look! 47 million are uninsured! Let’s do something about it!” But I don’t want to be insured, so fuck off! Stop trying to take my money and give it to fat smokers!

And to the people who support socialized health care because of the goodness of your own heart- please understand, that it’s not cause I’m mean and I want people to go without health care. My position stands because everything government does is a bloated beurocratic mess and that won’t change for an industry that some estimate will take up a third of the GDP by 2050. Government is coercion. Let’s not turn our hospitals into one big DMV!

Letter on ObamaCare-lessness

June 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Dear Friend of Liberty:

“I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

If these words send a shiver up your spine now… just wait.

What if the next time you hear that, it’s your doctor?

What if it’s the person who decides if you get a life-saving procedure?

If that scares you as much as it scares me, I hope you’ll sumbit the petition below to Congress IMMEDIATELY.

And I hope you’ll join Campaign for Liberty’s fight against this government takeover of our healthcare system by making a generous donation as well.

I’ll give you the link for petition in just a moment, but first let me explain how urgent this effort is.

As you’ll see, there’s no time to waste.

You and I must DEMAND President Obama and Congress back off their healthcare rationing Scheme and other plans for government intervention.

There’s no telling when Congress may act to implement their European-style takeover of medicine, so there’s absolutely NO time to waste.

If passed, not only could the $1.5 TRILLION federal government takeover of healthcare be the last straw to bankrupt our country, but it would also:
*** Hand control of our healthcare industry to an unelected federal board who will take charge of deciding who gets medical care — and who doesn’t;

*** End medical privacy by establishing a nationwide Medical Record Database, allowing virtually anyone in the medical-industrial complex — even those in foreign countries — to access your personal medical records WITHOUT your consent;

*** End private health insurance by herding hardworking Americans into a government-sanctioned health insurance boondoggle;

*** Dramatically raise taxes by counting health benefits as “income,” or by forcing businesses and uninsured workers to pay for officially sanctioned insurance.

*** Allow for even more government intrusion into our personal lives by paving the way for bureaucrats to tell us what we can and can’t eat, drink and smoke, like New York City’s ban on smoking and “unapproved” fats in food.
I can tell you my friend; there has never in our history been a more imminent danger of government-run healthcare becoming the law of the land.

That’s why it’s vital you act TODAY!

You see — two major events have come together to assist their diabolical plans to take over our healthcare.

First, as you know, international banksters and their allies in our federal government raided our Treasury, stole our tax dollars, and nearly sank our economy.

This job-destroying recession – largely caused by an out of control Federal Reserve, Congress and Wall Street – has caused far too many families to have to worry about their jobs – and their healthcare.

And then, just as millions of Americans were feeling the effects of this troubled economy, large-scale fear was foisted upon us by government agencies thirsty for more power and control over our lives.

You see, after radically overhyping the threat to U.S. citizens from the swine flu, the government now believes you are ready to be led to “safety.”

They believe all they have to do is constantly harp about the “high cost of healthcare” and American citizens will instantly fall in line behind their scheme to “take care of us.”

But of course, you and I both know we didn’t get here by accident and we didn’t get here in only the last few months.

The truth is, the answer to our problems is NOT more government involvement in healthcare.

The answer is LESS — so the free market can inexpensively and efficiently distribute much-needed healthcare services to ALL American citizens.

But, of course, that’s not what those in power in Washington D.C. really want.

After all, that would mean they’d have less POWER and less CONTROL over our lives — and power and control are EXACTLY what this fight is all about.

You see, this Government Healthcare Takeover and Rationing Scheme strikes at the heart of EVERYTHING you and I hold dear.

You and I believe American citizens ARE NOT cattle to be poked, prodded and herded like livestock by government bureaucrats who “know what’s best for us.”

But under their Big Government Healthcare power grab, you’ll be nothing more than a dehumanized statistic — a number on a piece of paper.

The Federal Healthcare Rationing Board will make THEIR decisions on what healthcare you and your family receive based not on what YOU or your doctor decide is best . . .

. . . But on what THEY decide is best.

Isn’t your life really worth saving? What about your family’s?

Well, the Obama Administration and their Big Government allies in both parties think you’re too “personally invested” to answer those questions “objectively.”

So they want their own handpicked, Washington, D.C. bureaucrats to answer them for you.

And if you don’t like their decisions?

Well, hopefully you can live with them — literally.

If that scares you as much as it scares me, I hope you’ll submit the Petition to Congress opposing any Government takeover of healthcare.

Campaign for Liberty will gather these Petitions from hundreds of thousands of supporters nationwide, and use them as part of a huge grassroots blitz on Washington in opposition to government-run healthcare.

You and I must lead this fight to stop the government from taking over yet another area of our lives.

You see, Campaign for Liberty supporters know first-hand what happens when out of control bureaucrats are left to make decisions that impact our freedom.

Think about what that means for your healthcare.

What do you think will happen under a government run healthcare system if your political or religious views happen to be “undesirable?”

What about if you own a gun?

You know, after seeing all those government memos accusing freedom-loving, law-abiding citizens of being “terrorists,” do you really want to find out?

Just like in that case, while we may wonder about the full extent of their schemes, we need only look at what they’re willing to say publicly for clues as to their intentions.

You see, the advocates for government-run healthcare are not at all afraid to say they want a socialized healthcare system like Canada’s.

And you and I know what the government takeover of healthcare in other countries has brought them.

There, folks have to wait over four months just to see a specialist — and over SIX MONTHS for simple surgical procedures!

Can you imagine that? Is that really what we want for ourselves and our families?

Well, Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty strongly say “NO!”

But as it stands now, not enough Americans understand what’s at stake for them and their families.

That means our backs are TRULY against the wall.

The good news in this fight is that IF you and I show Americans what Government Health Care is really all about, we CAN defeat it.

But to succeed, it’s up to you and me to flood the White House and Congress with a TIDAL WAVE of public opposition.

That’s why Campaign for Liberty is pulling out all the stops to inform folks about the facts — and urge them to express their outrage to Washington, D.C.

We’ll start with these Petitions, which we’ll gather and deliver in the coming weeks. But of course, that won’t be all.

E-mail blasts. Blogs. Direct mail. Phone banking.

Town halls, meet-ups, leaflet drops.

Newspaper, radio and television ads.

Media and PR blitzes from Campaign for Liberty staff and supporters.

But such an extensive program isn’t cheap.

And it’s the ONLY way we’re going to defeat further erosions of our freedoms and the government’s takeover of our healthcare.

So in addition to submitting a signed Petition, please make your most generous contribution of $250, $100 or $50 TODAY!

The truth is, without your IMMEDIATE action, I’m afraid there just won’t be enough time or money to do everything that needs to be done.

And I’m sure you’ll agree, this is not a fight you and I can afford to lose. And that no one can bring the heat quite like you and your fellow Patriots. Just look at how much progress we are making toward Auditing the Fed!

So please click here to submit your petition along with a contribution of $250, $100 or $50 TODAY!

Power-hungry politicians in Washington, D.C. are intent on ramming this bill into law before the American people realize what’s at stake.

That’s why we may not have much time.

So please click here to submit your Petition and generous contribution of $250, $100 or $50 IMMEDIATELY!

Sincerely,

John F. Tate
President

P.S. The Federal Government is poised to hand over your healthcare, your medical records, and decisions over even life and death to unelected bureaucrats.
