Regarding The Federal Government involvement in 'Helping Us'

By Brian Bonner

Here is some food for thought on federal disaster relief, social programs and welfare…

James Madison is the acknowledged father of the constitution. In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 for relief of French refugees who fled from insurrection in San Domingo to Baltimore and Philadelphia. James Madison wrote disapprovingly. He said “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that Article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”

President Franklin Pierce in 1854 vetoed a bill to help the mentally ill. He said “I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity …. [this] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”

In 1897, President Grover Cleveland vetoed an Appropriation to provide disaster aid to victims of a Texas drought. His veto stated: “I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan to indulge in benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds … I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution. The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people should support the government, the government should not support the people.”

Here is an anti-welfare anti-tax quote from Abraham Lincoln: “You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot lift the wage earner by tearing down the wage payer. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do themselves.”

My, how far this country as descended into UNCONSTITUTIONAL socialism...

Health Care Action Alert!

Moveon.org has a push on right now to save the public option. They are lying to their people saying it has an 83% public approval for the public option (govt subsidized) in Health Care reform. They are having their people call their senators right now, because, the Senate is where it will die.

The Leadership of the Democrat Party is still insisting on it. Thee Liberal Democrats are saying no bill will pass without a public option. We have to push back hard right now! Do not let the left wing, liberal, socialist, commie, fascist, bastards beat us!

CALL NOW! Call your senators and tell them you do not want any Government involvement in health care!

Obama Surrounds himself with radicals

By Brian Bonner

If it wasn't bad enough that President Obama has stated he chooses who he associates with carefully, such as radical black activists and marxist professors. If Tony Rezko, Rev Jeremiah Wright, Rev James Meeks, Dr Henry Louis Gates Jr, the 70s terrorist turned propagandizing professor, Bill Ayers, Other Mentors, you might not have heard about and the groups he left off his resume was not enough, how about his administration?

Presidential health care adviser Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and chairman of the Department of Bioethics at the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health, has argued that independent government boards should decide policy on end-of-life care. He also has defended rationing care more strictly for older people because "allocation [of medical care] by age is not invidious discrimination."

Hmmm, let us add to Dr Emanuel this little tid bit...

In an April 28 New York Times interview, the president spoke of having government guide a "very difficult democratic conversation" about "those toward the end of their lives [who] are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here.

I report you decide...

Now, how about the president's "chief science adviser," John P. Holdren? He co-wrote a book "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment," a book he co-authored in 1977 with noted doomsayers Paul R. and Anne H. Erlich, Mr. Holdren wrote: "Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society."

Mr. Holdren and the Erlichs considered other extremist measures. "A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men," they wrote. "The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control."

Oh, it gets worse. The Holdren-Erlich book also promotes "Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods." After noting that, well, yes, there were "very difficult political, legal and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems," Mr. Holdren and his co-authors express hope that their idea may still be viable. "To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements," they wrote. "It must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets or livestock."

Yup, and this is just the tip of the iceberg, how much more will we learn about who he "carefully chose to associate with" during his life?

When Obama said he wanted to "radically change America", he was not kidding.

Three Indicted in Largest Corporate Identity Theft Case in History

This is scary stuff y'all.

From Fox News:

Federal Authorities indicted three men in New Jersey in a massive identity theft case that the Justice Department is labeling as the largest in American history.

Albert Gonzalez of Miami, 28, is charged with acting with two unnamed conspirators to locate large corporations and steal vital account information in a crime that the Department of Justice calls "the single largest hacking and identity theft case ever prosecuted."

Authorities say more than 130 million credit and debit card numbers were stolen in a corporate data breach involving three different corporations and two individuals. The card numbers, along with additional account information, were allegedly stolen from Princeton-based Heartland Payment Systems; 7-Eleven Inc., a Texas-based convenience store chain and Hannaford Brothers Company, a Maine-based supermarket chain.

When I worked for the state, and they updated their computers and computer system they failed to delete any personal information and pass words used by their employees. They then, sold the old computers to a company that had access to all that info. Do you remember when the same thing happened to our Veterans?

My Health Care Plan

Brian Here:

Just so you know, you are having an affect on congress and the democrats and the LSM attempt to demonize the people, speaking out against the government run health care/public plan notion, has backfired on them. We need to keep up the pressure on our elected cockroaches.

With that said I felt I had to tell you all what I think should be done and not just tear down what they are trying to do now.

IMO, what needs to be addressed, to improve the health care in America, is:

1. Malpractice lawsuit awards need to be reigned in, the cost of malpractice insurance is way too high and in some states unobtainable.
2. Portability (your insurance goes with you from job to job),
3. insurance companies need to be allowed to sell insurance across state lines, adding competition and broadening the insurance pool.
   
4. Co-ops need to be created for purchasing insurance by individuals and small businesses.
5. Requiring, in order to sell health insurance, that the insurance company MUST pay for whatever the doctor and patient decides the treatment is going to be; peer review panels can decide if the doctor is padding after the fact.
6. Pre-tax contributions to health savings plans (HSA).

If they stuck to this outline they could drastically improve the health care industry and could easily get the bill passed.

What say you?

If you like my plane feel free to pass it around and use it in your correspondence with your elected cockroaches.

U.K. Hits Back at U.S. Health Reform 'Untruths'

This is the height of hypocrisy. Did the Obama Administration enlist Britain as yet another spokesman for his failing plan?

From Fox News:

LONDON -- Britain's health care service says it is sick of what it calls lies from critics of President Obama's health care overhaul.

Pilloried by right-wing opponents of Obama's health plan, Britain's National Health Service, known here as the NHS, is fighting back.

"People have been saying some untruths in the States," a spokesman for Britain Department of Health said in a telephone interview. "There's been all these ridiculous claims made by the American health lobby about Obama's health care plan ... and they've used the NHS as an example. A lot of it has been untrue."

He spoke anonymously in line with department policy.

Suck it up Socialist countries; conservatives are going to point to your failed or failing social way of life, like, always, because, our Founding Fathers ran screaming into the night to get away from that form of government.

Hillary Clinton: I'm Secretary of State, Not Bill

I Looooovvvveee it!!!! Sweeeettt!!

From Fox News:

KINSHASA, Congo -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's temper flared on Monday when a Congolese university student asked her for her husband's thinking on an international financial matter.

A week after former President Bill Clinton traveled to North Korea to secure the release of two detained American journalists and stole the limelight from the start of his wife's first trip to Africa, Clinton was clearly displeased by the question at town hall forum in Kinshasa.

"You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?" she replied incredulously when the male student asked her what "Mr. Clinton" thought of World Bank concerns about a multi-billion-dollar Chinese loan offer to the Congo.

Is there trouble in paradise? But seriously, what kind of political game are these two playing? I never understood why Billy Boy would ever stand back stage to Killary. I mean, I know they had some kind of deal, you all should read the book, Bitter Legacy; NewsMax reveals the untold story of the Clinton-Gore years. Its a goodin.

"My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply. "If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband."
