“health care plan ‘will “bankrupt” the country’. The real problem is that this . . . sucking sound of money has been going into this health-care reform. And I would argue that it’s being propped up so that the federal government and the Obama administration can drive it through.”

Census form is all about race! Typical racists in Washington, worrying about skin color instead of the person
Got my Census form today and the majority of the questions deal with race. Are we “American”? “Human”? “White” (looks more pink to me)? Divide and conquer is the method being used.
And why are they breaking Asian and Hispanic down into all these categories? Why is Colombian or Korean or Japanese more valid than Irish or German or French or English or Italian or Irish or Scottish or Swiss or American? Are “Whites” just inter-changable? What about people who’s ancestors came from Afghanistan? India?
I thought we were all American. I guess not, some people are still “Chinese” or “Japanese” or “Vietnamese”. “Whites,” well, they are just “whites”.
Skin color or what portion of the Earth your ancestors came from are about as useful as eye color and hair color – except to racists.
So much for being “post-racial.” I’ve never owned slaves, neither did my ancestors, neither did they sell their comrades into slavery, but who cares?
How about: I am part of the human race, from Earth. Sounds much more uniting that all the rest of the b.s. coming out of Washington. It is called “racial profiling” when it is done at the airport.
Congress’ approach to pre-existing conditions
Pre-existing conditions. Any questions about what will happen to the number of people buying insurance and consequently costs if this becomes the law of the land?
SEN. BYRD SINGLE-HANDEDLY STOPPED PRESIDENT CLINTON FROM USING RECONCILIATION
How times have changed. Senator Byrd (D), 4/5/2001 (video), transcript:
The Democratic Leadership pleaded with me at length to agree to support the idea that the Clinton Health Care Bill should be included in that year’s reconciliation package.
They came to my office on the floor below. President Clinton got on the phone and called me also and pressed me to allow his massive health care bill to be insulated by reconciliations protection. He called me on the telephone.
I felt that changes as dramatic as the Clinton health care package which would affect every man, woman, and child in the United States should be subject to scrutiny. I said Mr. President I can not in good conscience turn my face the other way. That’s why we have a Senate, to amend and debate freely. That health bill, as important as it is, is so complex, so far reaching that the people of the country need to know what’s in it. And moreover Mr. President, we Senator’s need to know what’s in it before we vote.
And he accepted that. He accepted that and thanked me and we said goodbye.
I could not, I would not, and I did not allow that package to be handled in such a cavalier manner. It was the threat of the use of the Byrd rule. Reconciliation was never, never, never intended to be shield, to be used as a shield, for controversial legislation.
Even ignoring the un-Constitutionality of the bill – which the Continue reading SEN. BYRD SINGLE-HANDEDLY STOPPED PRESIDENT CLINTON FROM USING RECONCILIATION

Obama’s behavior at State of the Union “very troubling” – Roberts
“On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum. The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling.” – Chief Justice John Roberts, March 9, 2010
14.9 million jobless. 12 million illegal immigrants. You do the math.
The “funny” thing is that this article says there are “14.9 million jobless Americans” and there are approximately 12-15 million ILLEGAL immigrants (some say 11 million, some say 20 million). You do the math. Legal immigration is what built the country, do we really want to make people who start out as criminals citizens? Or do we want people who are law-abiding citizens?
When the parasites can vote themselves a bigger bite from the host…
President Obama has proposed a 1.4 % pay increase for active duty military in 2011. This is the LOWEST since 1973. Nice to know that during a time of rampant inflation, while a war is fought in 2 theatres, our men and women in uniform get a LOWER PAY INCREASE THAN WELFARE RECIPIENTS. — from K.P.L.
When the parasites can vote themselves a bigger bite from the host, they will do so. The law is supposed to protect you and your life from being voted into subservience, but when the law is used instead to steal from a disarmed population, the law has been perverted. Today many people believe the concept of personal responsibility means expecting someone else to pay for you and what you believe you “need.”
Today, the parasites are in control and the parasites have realized they can vote themselves a bigger bite from the host. And the chief parasites in Washington want to maintain control by directing where the rest of the parasites can take their bite based on how you are favored – from the filet portion or the keister.
The difference between a free society and a nation of parasites and hosts are bills like the health care bill.

Obama ends “leave internet alone” policy
“The US government’s policy of leaving the Internet alone is over, according to Obama’s top official at the Department of Commerce.” Assistant Secretary Larry Strickling, The Register and see the NTIA presentation.
The internet is too powerful for governments that want to control the thoughts of their population to leave alone. Along with the extension of the Patriot Act (WashingtonPost.com), the Obama Administration arguing in Federal Court that there is no “reasonable expectation of privacy” on cell phones – funny, we missed the ACLU, EFF, and the press having conniptions about the Democrat controlled Congress and Democrat President signing the extension – Washington has a nice tight grip on the communications of the country.
But, it is nice to have “government oversight” over everything – you wouldn’t want to do something without permission would you?
