My response to Barbara Boxer's form letter response to me..

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 08:13:00 -0700

My response to a Barbara Boxer form letter response to my valid concerns about Health Care.

Barbara's letter is italicized below...

Dear Senator,

Since you send form letters out in response to valid questions on health care, I am responding to each of your points in the letter.

"Thank you for writing to me about pending health care reform legislation. I am committed to working with President Obama to ensure that Americans have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare that they can rely on. With the right legislation, I believe we can greatly improve care for our families, while containing the growing costs of health care."

The only growing cost is your multi-trillion dollar enslavement of the population while declaring war on the elderly.

"The status quo is unsustainable- Americans will spend more than $2.5 trillion on health care this year, more than one in every six dollars in the U.S. economy. In all, we spend twice as much per person on health care than other advanced nations, yet the United States ranks near the bottom of the 30 leading industrialized nations in basic measures of health such as infant mortality and life expectancy."

Your budgetary and fiscal plans are the only unsustainable item on the plate at this time.

"The situation is even worse for individual families, who are struggling to afford skyrocketing premiums and increased co-pays and deductibles. Health care premiums have more than doubled in the last nine years, and one respected study shows that, if we fail to act, the average California family will have to spend 41 percent of its income for health insurance premiums by 2016."

Then focus on only those families and leave the people who can afford it ALONE!

"The growing number of uninsured is also contributing to higher costs- 46 million Americans do not have health insurance, and every day, another 14,000 Americans lose their coverage when they become seriously ill or lose or change their jobs. To make up for the coverage gap, families pay on average an extra $1,100 a year in premium costs."

Stop with the lies. The 46 million also includes your Democrat dream of giving free care to illegals. More Democrat games with OUR money! "Moreover, poor regulation of insurance companies means that even those with health insurance coverage are not always guaranteed to get the benefits they are promised. Every day I hear from Californians who can't get health insurance because of a pre-existing condition, or who are denied the medical treatment prescribed by a doctor because of insurance company bureaucrats. This is wrong, and we have to do better for our families."

Stop with the family concerns. You are more interested in controlling people than in actually doing something legitimate.

"That is why I have joined President Obama and many of my colleagues in support of some basic principles for action. Any health care reform must allow every American who likes their current health coverage to keep it. Health coverage must be made accessible and affordable, and insurance companies must no longer be allowed to discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions or drop you if you become seriously ill. We must increase investments in prevention and wellness as that will save billions of dollars. And health care reform must not add a single dollar to the Federal deficit."

Given your history, I can understand why you are falling into line with Obama. You do not like free-choice and freedom FROM government. And the "not add a single dollar to the Federal deficit" line is a total lie. So far, in 6 months, you guys have eclipsed President Bush in terms of your overspending ways and I am left to believe that the truth is that you and your friends are seeking anything BUT responsible health care.

How can we believe a single thing you say when you send out the same form letters as other Senators?

I'm so disgusted in my senators and in the politics of this state I can't tell you!

2010 is coming and when it does, I'm doing volunteer work and pushing hard to get Republicans and Independants to take back our freedom and rights from you people!

Proof that robots evolve into Democrats and vice-versa...

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:52:34 -0700

From Popular Science:

With the development of killer drones, it seems like everyone is worrying about killer robots. Now, as if that wasn't bad enough, we need to start worrying about lying, cheating robots as well.

In an experiment run at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems in the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne, France, robots that were designed to cooperate in searching out a beneficial resource and avoiding a poisonous one learned to lie to each other in an attempt to hoard the resource. Picture a robo-Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

The experiment involved 1,000 robots divided into 10 different groups. Each robot had a sensor, a blue light, and its own 264-bit binary code "genome" that governed how it reacted to different stimuli. The first generation robots were programmed to turn the light on when they found the good resource, helping the other robots in the group find it.

The robots got higher marks for finding and sitting on the good resource, and negative points for hanging around the poisoned resource. The 200 highest-scoring genomes were then randomly "mated" and mutated to produce a new generation of programming. Within nine generations, the robots became excellent at finding the positive resource, and communicating with each other to direct other robots to the good resource.

However, there was a catch. A limited amount of access to the good resource meant that not every robot could benefit when it was found, and overcrowding could drive away the robot that originally found it.

After 500 generations, 60 percent of the robots had evolved to keep their light off when they found the good resource, hogging it all for themselves. Even more telling, a third of the robots evolved to actually look for the liars by developing an aversion to the light; the exact opposite of their original programming!

- - It just goes to show you how Dems and Robots are just mirror images of each other...

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel: Cutting Costs, Costing Lives

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:19:58 -0700

"[Health services should not be guaranteed to] individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia." - DR. EZEKIEL J. EMANUEL: CUTTING COSTS, COSTING LIVES

Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel is as scary as his younger brother, Rahm. Actually, he may be scarier.

R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., the Washington Times, writes that you better get sick now or you may be sorry.
If you have any sense that you may be getting sick in the years ahead, I suggest you get sick immediately. If you will need of surgery or any medical procedure, do it now! If not immediately, be certain that you hand yourself over to the health care professionals before Oct. 15. That is the date on which President Obama hopes to sign his health care bill once it has gone through the congressional baloney grinder.

At the heart of Mr. Obama's plan is his stated goal to cut medical costs. That might sound good to you, but it means cutting services, nurses, technicians, medical tests and, most prominently, the use of expensive technology. The president's top medical advisers are quite frank about this.

Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and a health-policy adviser in the Office of Management and Budget, has chided Americans for the expense of their "being enamored with technology." Dr. David Blumenthal, another key Obama adviser, charges medical innovations as being responsible for fully two-thirds of the annual increase in health care spending. Their solution is to limit expensive innovations. A 2008 Congressional Budget Office report agrees with their cost analysis but concludes happily that such innovations "permit the treatment of previously untreatable conditions." As I shall show, there are more humane ways to cut health care costs.
Also at the heart of Mr. Obama's plan is the restriction of services for older people, people 65 and older who, by virtue of modern medicine, may actually be 10 and 15 years younger in terms of good health than they would have been a generation ago. Alas, they still have higher health risks and costs than younger people. Thus, they are going to bear the brunt of the Obama administration's cost cuts, for 27 percent to 30 percent of Medicaid spending is spent for caring for people at the end of their lives.

With the government taking over more of the nation's health care costs under the Obama regime, it has already been decided that government monies are more economically spent on younger people than on older people. If a 65-year-old needs a hip replacement, the government will better spend that money on a younger person whose hip will last longer. Or perhaps the government will decide the money is better spent on preventive medicine for younger people.

In the federal stimulus legislation that the president signed Feb. 17, we find funding for a Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research. "Comparative effectiveness research" is a term used by economists in health care for making health comparisons based often on age and for limiting care based on a patient's age. In Great Britain, comparative-effectiveness research is actually used to deny patients treatment for age-related diseases such as heart disease and macular degeneration.

When the federal stimulus bill was going through Congress, there were warnings regarding the consequences of comparative effectiveness research. Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., Louisiana Republican and a heart surgeon, warned it would lead to "denying seniors and the disabled lifesaving care."

Yet the policy remained in the bill along with requirements for doctors' offices and hospitals to maintain data banks on patients while creating a national network to monitor patients' care.

The good side of that is that a central database can send out the latest information on treatments, although doctors who keep up with their medical journals already know about these treatments. The dark side is that it will allow the federal government to control how our doctors treat us. The bill speaks of "appropriate" and "cost-effective" care and provides penalties against doctors beginning in 2014. Now there is an Orwellian twist to the Obama promise of "hope" and "change."

As Betsy McCaughey has written in a groundbreaking analysis of the Obama health care proposals, draconian cost-control measures are not the answer to health care reform, and they are based on erroneous data. Health care's spending increases over the past five years have been about half what they were in the recent period before that. Average family spending on food, energy and health care have remained the same for decades. Moreover, contrary to myth, there are not 47 million uninsured Americans but actually about 22 million. Rather than pass a health care reform that will mercilessly limit health care to older citizens - and to chronically ill citizens - while still increasing federal expenditures by at least a trillion dollars, she suggests a modest reform, to wit, debit cards for the uninsured and the needy.

In a recent installment of Spectator.org, Ms. McCaughey wrote, "Providing sliding scale assistance, based on household income, to families to purchase coverage would cost $20 billion to $25 billion a year." That is one reform that will deal with our present problems. There are others, which I shall take up in later columns. What we do not need is George Orwell's Big Brother overseeing the rationing of health care to senior citizens, particularly senior citizens with years of life ahead of them.
Ezekiel Emanuel isn't a big fan of technology. Of course, it's that remarkable technology that saves lives every day.

Zeke, health-policy adviser to Obama, is looking to save money, not lives.

Just as the stimulus didn't deliver what Obama promised it would, you have to realize that ObamaCare won't fulfill the promises of quality health care for all.

It's another lie.

Don't buy it.

Unsolicted letter from David Axelrod...

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:19:27 -0700
I received the first of several letters from the White House some months ago and was mystified as to how I could have received these letters. One more arrived on August 13'th and I was deeply offended at having received it since I had demanded that I quit receiving them.

Obviously, the White House does not listen to the American People anymore.

Considering that I'm a lifelong Republican and have become a non-supporter of anything Democrat, I've been outraged at being put on some list by some arrogant Democrat twit at the White House.

Along comes a reporter at Fox News who brings up these letters and sure enough, the White House Press Secretary shows his lack of professionalism and a complete dearth of objective behavior and he dismisses the reports and acts like the American People and Fox News have no right to question why or how we got on this list.

The Press Secretary then questions if the letters are even from the White House. I'll show the email headers below from my copy of this ridiculous pack of Democrat propaganda that found it's way to my email box.

subject Something worth forwarding

mailed-by service.govdelivery.com

I've responded to this email that was delivered to me with me having spent weeks telling the White House I have absolutely no desire to hear their lies

I have a message for the list keepers who love to email this stuff illegally. If I continue to get these letters, I'll go ahead and take this to an attorney and file a complaint to the White House. If it continues, I'll call Axelrod myself and demand it stop and then seek a court to hear my case and file the complaint officially to make the letters stop.

The Press Secretary knew exactly what was going on when asked about the letters and knew that they were not operating within the law when they began sending these letters out. Anyone who wrote the White House on any subject, found their email address on a list that was then used to send this trash out. I opted out of the list, but only found the opt-out after weeks of my having sent emails to the source address of info@whitehouse.gov which appears to be a black hole that no one ever reads.

So the bottom line? Our White House is operating outside of the law on these emails and it sends a clear message... They can do what they want to push their message but you and I can be prosecuted for the same offense.

Animal Farm is here.

Sarah Palin's blog - Troubling Questions Remain About Obama's Health Care Plan

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:45:34 -0700
A reprint of Sarah Palin's Blog - It's refreshing to see her step in and drive real opposition to the Democrat's lies... Here is the text of that wonderful piece of writing...

I join millions of Americans in expressing appreciation for the Senate Finance Committee’s decision to remove the provision in the pending health care bill that authorizes end-of-life consultations (Section 1233 of HR 3200). It’s gratifying that the voice of the people is getting through to Congress; however, that provision was not the only disturbing detail in this legislation; it was just one of the more obvious ones.

As I noted in my statement last week, nationalized health care inevitably leads to rationing. There is simply no way to cover everyone and hold down the costs at the same time. The rationing system proposed by one of President Obama’s key health care advisors is particularly disturbing. I’m speaking of the “Complete Lives System” advocated by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the president’s chief of staff. President Obama has not yet stated any opposition to the “Complete Lives System,” a system which, if enacted, would refuse to allocate medical resources to the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled who have less economic potential. [1] Why the silence from the president on this aspect of his nationalization of health care? Does he agree with the “Complete Lives System”? If not, then why is Dr. Emanuel his policy advisor? What is he advising the president on? I just learned that Dr. Emanuel is now distancing himself from his own work and claiming that his “thinking has evolved” on the question of rationing care to benefit the strong and deny the weak. [2] How convenient that he disavowed his own work only after the nature of his scholarship was revealed to the public at large. The president is busy assuring us that we can keep our private insurance plans, but common sense (and basic economics) tells us otherwise. The public option in the Democratic health care plan will crowd out private insurers, and that’s what it’s intended to do. A single payer health care plan has been President Obama’s agenda all along, though he is now claiming otherwise. Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what he said back in 2003:

“I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care plan.... A single payer health care plan – universal health care plan – that’s what I would like to see.” [3]

A single-payer health care plan might be what Obama would like to see, but is it what the rest of us would like to see? What does a single payer health care plan look like? We need look no further than other countries who have adopted such a plan. The picture isn’t pretty. [4] The only way they can control costs is to ration care. As I noted in my earlier statement quoting Thomas Sowell, government run health care won’t reduce the price of medical care; it will simply refuse to pay the price. The expensive innovative procedures that people from all over the world come to the United States for will not be available under a government plan that seeks to cover everyone by capping costs.

Our senior citizens are right to be wary of this health care bill. Medical care at the end of life accounts for 80 percent of all health care. When care is rationed, that is naturally where the cuts will be felt first. The “end-of-life” consultations authorized in Section 1233 of HR 3200 were an obvious and heavy handed attempt at pressuring people to reduce the financial burden on the system by minimizing their own care. Worst still, it actually provided a financial incentive to doctors to initiate these consultations. People are right to point out that such a provision doesn’t sound “purely voluntary.”

In an article I noted yesterday, Charles Lane wrote:

“Ideally, the delicate decisions about how to manage life’s end would be made in a setting that is neutral in both appearance and fact. Yes, it’s good to have a doctor’s perspective. But Section 1233 goes beyond facilitating doctor input to preferring it. Indeed, the measure would have an interested party -- the government -- recruit doctors to sell the elderly on living wills, hospice care and their associated providers, professions and organizations. You don’t have to be a right-wing wacko to question that approach.” [5]

I agree. Last year, I issued a proclamation for “Healthcare Decisions Day.” [6] The proclamation sought to increase the public’s knowledge about creating living wills and establishing powers of attorney. There was no incentive to choose one option over another. There was certainly no financial incentive for physicians to push anything. In fact, the proclamation explicitly called on medical professionals and lawyers “to volunteer their time and efforts” to provide information to the public.

Comparing the “Healthcare Decisions Day” proclamation to Section 1233 of HR 3200 is ridiculous. The two are like apples and oranges. The attempt to link the two shows how desperate the proponents of nationalized health care are to shift the debate away from the disturbing details of their bill.

There is one aspect of this bill which I have not addressed yet, but it’s a very obvious one. It’s the simple fact that we can’t afford it. But don’t take my word for it. Take the word of Doug Elmendorf, the director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. He told the Senate Budget Committee last month:

“In the legislation that has been reported we do not see the sort of fundamental changes that would be necessary to reduce the trajectory of federal health spending by a significant amount. And on the contrary, the legislation significantly expands the federal responsibility for health care costs.” [7]

Dr. Elmendorf went on to note that this health care legislation would increase spending at an unsustainable rate.

Our nation is already $11.5 trillion in debt. Where will the money come from? Taxes, of course. And will a burdensome new tax help our economy recover? Of course not. The best way to encourage more health care coverage is to foster a strong economy where people can afford to purchase their own coverage if they choose to do so. The current administration’s economic policies have done nothing to help in this regard.

Health care is without a doubt a complex and contentious issue, but health care reform should be a market oriented solution. There are many ways we can reform the system and lower costs without nationalizing it.

The economist Arthur Laffer has taken the lead in pushing for a patient-center health care reform policy. He noted in a Wall Street Journal article earlier this month:

“A patient-centered health-care reform begins with individual ownership of insurance policies and leverages Health Savings Accounts, a low-premium, high-deductible alternative to traditional insurance that includes a tax-advantaged savings account. It allows people to purchase insurance policies across state lines and reduces the number of mandated benefits insurers are required to cover. It reallocates the majority of Medicaid spending into a simple voucher for low-income individuals to purchase their own insurance. And it reduces the cost of medical procedures by reforming tort liability laws.” [8]

Those are real reforms that we can live with and afford. Once again, I warn my fellow Americans that if we go down the path of nationalized health care, there will be no turning back. We must stop and think or we may find ourselves losing even more of our freedoms.

Proud to be a member of the "Mob" that declares that government answers to the people...

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:25:54 -0700

A new web site, http://thepeoplesmob.com, is now operational as well as a very nice group on Facebook of the same name.

I guess since the far left is accusing we common Americans of being subversive for the crime of:

Supporting the U.S. Constituation

and worse... Daring to disagree with Democrats
that we've had the label of being an unruly "mob" slapped on us in a coordinated fashion by the elites who live in their little liberal-bubble-world.

Since I can't think of anything more patriotic than to state your opposition to something and freely protest and use our rights to freely assemble and examine issues of the day, I must now declare that I am one of those mob members who dare to think freely.

It's a great web site and you see content like:

"The People’s Mob will be doing a daily documentation of the push back against the American People. This blog will be the home of our daily updates and we’re looking to put together a team of bloggers whocan help keep the content flowing.
If you can write a post or two a week, you’re fed up with the blatant attacks on our way of life, and you believe our liberty is at stake… we’d love to have your help.
Please email us at rally@americanlibertyalliance.com with interests."
along with the ability to write blogs and state your case to the far left. Folks, it's up to us to keep the liberals and their anti-american agenda in check and to take our country back. Write your congressman, senator, "president" and then attend local government meetings, speak up in public and show your support for fellow "mob" members when they are attacked by the left...

What the Congress does to people who ask about healthcare...

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 21:05:08 -0700

Says it all, doesn't it? The sheer arrogance of this Congressional representative and that of most others shows how out of touch with reality our Congress is.

Barbara Boxer plants foot firmly in mouth and insults Americans with her avowed love of Communism. It must be weird to actually "be" her and believe all the crap she throws out at the world...

More arrogance from the Health Secretary. The sheer elitism and love of socialism is disgusting.

A citizen is dealt a ridiculous pack of lies by yet another pork-filled congressional shill. Imagine... being told with a straight face that you are MANDATED to buy health-care and no longer given the choice to have it or not. More of our rights being sold down the river by Congress and it's elitist snobs.

The American people fight back against socialism. Thank God we've got the sense to see what is happening...

The message of all of this? Stop Obama. Pure and simple. Stop his rush to socialism/communism and save our beautiful country and people from a pessimistic, evil system of government with no moral clarity or responsibility to God to conduct our lives well and true...
