Fighting the demon of reconciliation

 
(Quote) ....“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution”... Thomas Jefferson (circa 1789)
 
But even Jefferson could have never imagined a more power-crazed demon than Harry Reid, who has abrogated all "decorum," and now threatens unprecedented war on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
 
Reid (who looks like your skinflint uncle, who once gave you 75 cents on your birthday) now finds himself dangerously backed into a political corner. And people invested with power do not surrender it easily - or without a fight to the finish.
 
Harry Reid is indeed desperate. He cannot go forward; he cannot retreat. His Nevada constituents want no part of socialized medicine, and the polls back home are dropping. Yet the big unions that support him will take flight if a government-backed public option is not passed by the end of the year.
 
Reid is no fool. A hardcore hack, he can neither be intimidated, nor swayed by the very people who'll vote for him. Harry knows that it's money - the campaign war chest - that will bring him yet another 6 years as a U.S. senator- the most uniquely powerful job in the entire world. 
 
Hence, Reid is FORCED to take a political posture that plays to unions.
 
Dirty Harry knows that despite the polls, if a government health plan passes - INCLUDING the public option -union campaign funding will flow into his coffers like the Colorado River in springtime.
 
Midterm elections never intimidate ANY democratic incumbent - they know the old ABC campaign formula never fails: any republican opponent - even the most clean of clean - can be slandered then defeated by simply:
 
A- hiring a scumbag political ad agency to "research" - then fabricate lies
B- buying media time (in the millions); continually run negative campaign ads; levy personal attacks
C- watch gullible voters gobble up the bait, as they always do 
 
Ergo...victory! Six more years; political power preserved.
 
So wonder no more why Reid chooses to ignore not only his angry Nevada constituents, but also the two-million-strong march to his doorstep on Capitol Hill. Socialized medicine is the holy grail for the democrats, and if Reid can't muster 60 Senate votes, he'll contort Senate parliamentary rules and utilize reconciliation. 
 
Presently, with Kennedy departed for the hereafter, and Robert Byrd lingering on this side of eternity, Reid has but 58 votes of the 60 needed (cloture) to bust a republican filibuster and get a democratic bill to the Senate floor. 
 
So Reid will then split the emerging bill, breaking up its most contentious portions for the 51-vote (simple majority) reconciliation process, while keeping those measures garnering bi-partisan support in a separate bill.
 
This would undoubtedly trigger an acrid, long-standing, bitterly-partisan civil war (the nuclear option). 
 
If Reid makes good on his threat to ram through a bill to appease his left, outraged Republicans could indeed make good on their threat to shut down the Senate; something that could change the political landscape on Capitol Hil for the next 50 years - or even longer.
 
Even "moderate" Olympia Snowe warned about using reconciliation: (quote) ...“At a time when we need to bolster the public’s confidence in whatever we do with health care, I don’t think the reconciliation process will serve the purpose of providing affordable health security for all Americans."
 
And if Snowe (a known democratic collaborator) feels this resistive about it, how would Jim DeMint, Orrin Hatch, Tom Coburn, and others react?  It takes but one angry Senator to stop the upper chamber in its tracks. But if Reid invokes reconciliation, not only would he create an entire cadre of enraged Republicans in Washington, but another TWO HUNDRED MILLION angry Americans - all pointing the finger directly at dirty Harry Reid.
 
Thomas Jefferson correctly understood how power corrupts, and authority is never easily rescinded.
 
Thus, dirty Harry will not be deterred - now extending an iron fist, ensconced within a velvet glove: (quote)..."We still, after all these months, have a place at the the table for the Republicans"...."We do not want to do reconciliation unless we have no alternative."
 
No alternative? Reid is intoxicated with the elixer of tryranny!
 
We all realize the federal government has NO Constitutional authority to run a health care plan (or system). But if the Republicans decide to knuckle under to this snake-like majority leader, we will have effectively surrendered our liberty to a run-amok Democratic Congress, feeling as though it has authority to do whatever it wills itself to do.
 
The Republicans - knowing Reid is now cornered - must immediately lay the groundwork for the ugly possibility of "shutting down" the Senate: Not attending committee hearings; no “unanimous consent” for moving forward on issues; and ceasing all routine business.
 
Forcing the senate into a standstill is an incredibly high-risk operation. It has to be accompanied by a major PR operation, lest a hostile, pro-liberal media paint the Republicans as "do-nothing anarchists".
 
The Republicans MUST be willing to take unprecedented measures to fight Reid's unprecedented tyranny; otherwise, we'll be committing Constitutional suicide, and America will be forever changed into the socialist country that our Founders went to such great lengths to prevent.
 
(quote)..."All tyranny needs to gain is a foothold, for people of good conscience to remain silent...Thomas  Jefferson.

Big Brother's Trojan Horse

 

Ever since Barack Obama "took power," is it not uncanny the astounding number of times we've heard the term, "Big Brother"?

 

Unfortunately, for the 18-25 demographic, (69% of whom voted Obama) most aren't even aware of what "Big Brother" even means- or what it actually symbolizes.

 

So we ask - who really is Big Brother? (hint: not the back-up band for Janis Joplin).

 

Ever since the early 80's, the book '1984" has all but disappeared from school library shelves across the nation.

 

But why would a book- rated the number one science fiction novel of the 20th century - be made off limits? (i.e. not suitable for "impressionable" school children). 

ANSWER - because the novel has been decried by the NEA as supposedly "filled with sex" and "the horror of Communism."

 

But is that to be believed?

 

After all, the NEA champions sex education for kindergarteners, so can it be plausible that a teacher's union would ban this book for sexual content?

 

POINT: The real reason "1984" is outlawed is because the American Left does not want its students to be aware of its true agenda: "1984" is about (and ONLY about) the horrors of socialist totalitarianism.

 

"1984" was first published in post-World War II 1949.

Scottish author George Orwell- aware of being in his last days - decided to write of a dark future, depicting his despair about the world-to-be; a cautionary tale against the grave injustices of life under Communism.

 

In "1984," BIG BROTHER is supreme ruler of "The Party"- in absolute control of a fearful, totalitarian society, but all the while pretending everything is "okay."

 

But the intrigue of "1984" centers around Big Brother as being nothing other than a faceless group: a ruthless oligarchy, completely devoid of any intention of making society function, but rather keeps things running by fear, lying, and public relations.

 

Sound familiar?

 

But now lets play pretend- and for an obvious reason:

 

George Orwell is again alive; and has chosen to author his next novel. Only this time, instead of choosing to caution the world, Orwell chooses to warn the United States of a next "big brother."

  

Herein, we shall now reveal what Orwell has written in his new novel's "forward".

 

"First they came for our light bulbs."

"Next they came for our SUVs."
"Then, they targeted our senior citizens."

 

"And now, they are coming for our bank accounts"

 

(end forward) 

 

In Orwell's "HR 3200" The Obama administration is (of course) Big Brother; ruining lives at every turn- an Orwellian nightmare of wealth transfer, euthanasia, abortion, and extermination of certain population groups (the aged, the "impaired"). All in the name of Utopia.

 

But if only "HR 3200" were but a science fiction novel:

 

In reality, HR 3200 was written in language so arcane - and in length so disheartening - that if passed, will all but give Obama's minions the ability to control our lives in a fashion that would make "1984" seem like it was written by Mother Goose.

 

HR 3200 is about wealth transfer; about illegal alien entitlements; vote buying; expansion of government control of the economy; expansion of government workers; and preserving the status quo of trial lawyers - basically destroying the upperclass, and, in effect, making "reparations " to the underclass.

 

But the one aspect of HR 3200 that would even make Big Brother feel taken aback, can be found on page 59: The federal government has DIRECT, real-time ACCESS to all individual BANK ACCOUNTS for electronic funds transfer!

 

Think about it: Instant federal access to your bank account, automatic debits if needed, and the obligatory national ID card. No thanks big brother Obama.

 

The bill's language (pg. 59) reads exactly as below:

..."enable electronic funds transfers, in order to allow automated reconciliation with the related health care payment and remittance advice."

 

Remittance advice? Hence, if one doesnt ’t buy insurance, according to H.R. 3200, one could be penalized. 

 

So could we be forced to default on our mortgages in order to pay for some alien's medical care? And is big brother Obama going to garnish our bank accounts to do so? 

 

Real time goverment access to one's financial privacy is something even George Orwell himself could've never conceived.

 

And like any Orwellian novel, we have the lamestream media, willingly lying for Big Brother Obama- ever complicit in his cunning plan: rolling a Trojan Horse in front of the Republicans in Washington, and playing a siren song for them to snatch the bait.

 

Naturally, this Trojan Horse "set up" was borne of Rahm Emanuel's newest gameplan - fooling the opposition; make Republicans feel they've won - transform "townhall" vitriolics into conservative victory celebrations.

 

And so far, its working - big time. The conservatives are all playing right into the strategy.

Right now, Obama & Emanuel are backslapping each other at the Whitehouse war room; laughing about ..."how those stupid republicans would, of course, fall for this."

 

Emanuel's brilliant Trojan Horse reprise was conceived as follows:

 

Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Kathy Sebelius conveniently announces a shocker: The Public Health Care Option is "Not the essential element."

 

Next, Kent Conrad appears on Fox News (just one hour later) with his pre-arranged con job...  saying "there are not the votes in the United States Senate for the government option, so to continue to chase that rabbit is just a wasted effort.”

 

But if so Mr Conrad, why was this the first time anyone had heard of it?

 

Now, after giving time for the innuendos to fester, Emanuel later plants a phony AP story for the next day's papers: (Quote) "Rahm Emanuel has long been urging president Obama to drop his insistence on the government option" (etc.).

 

But if Emanuel had been "urging it for so long," why was yesterday the first we've heard of  it? Never underestimate the boundless treachery of Rahm Emanuel.

 

So come September-October, the democratic Trojan Horse will be ridden around Washington as follows:

 

The democrats in the Senate will continue to say... "the public option is dead". Thus everyone opposing Obamacare now relaxes. 

 

The Senate democrats now taut a phony "co-op" plan to fool the public - bringing Republicans "to the table".  A Senate bill emerges containing the co-op option (more Trojan "horsemanship").

 

And as Emanuel has planned, certain Senate Republicans (the key committee members who could hold up a bill) have lowered their guard.

 

While this Senate charade goes on, over in the House, an INTACT HR 3200- replete with the government option - passes, as all the  blue dogs "mysteriously cave in."

 

But the Republicans fear not, as the Senate bill passes without a government option.

 

Everyone opposed to Obamacare breathes yet another sigh of relief.

 

October: After the House & Senate bills are brought together in joint committee, the Senate - with a 60 democrat majoritiy- votes to REINSERT the government option!

 

(NOTE: Last April, ever mindful of the difficulties in securing a sixty-vote "filibuster-proof" majority in the Senate, Obama had successfully pressured Harry Reid to create an alternative path to passage, by adopting "reconciliation" rules, stating..."if Congress does not act by October 15, the Senate could pass health care legislation as a budget measure, with a simple majority of fifty-one votes).

 

Now the "grand finale"...Obama opens up the Trojan horse:

 

The final draft (with government option) is run through the Senate under Reid's budget reconciliation clause, passing easily on a 51-vote simple majority.
 
Obama & Emanuel now rejoice in triumph. The Republicans are stunned. America will now be enslaved under the shackles of HR 3200 for generations to come.

 

Could the original Big Brother have ever imagined anything as sneaky and diabolical as that?

Obama won an election - so did Hitler

 

Is Barack Obama another Adolf Hitler? Please...we musn't demean Hitler that way.

 

As a young, highly-decorated corporal, Hitler survived the horror-filled trenches of World War I.

 

Obama never saw a day of military service.

 

Hitler believed his country had been betrayed by its generals; and were it not for them, Germany would've won the Great War.

 

As a Communist sympathizer & community organizer in south Chicago, Obama set out to betray his country- a Manchurian candidate who'd eventually con his way to the U.S. presidency.

 

Although both were elected in widely-divergent circumstances, Hitler believed every word of what he preached - a gifted orator who spoke from his soul, who would rouse the German people from their defeated past.

 

Barack Obama is lost without a teleprompter. But only a liar needs to read every word. A man of integrity will speak what's on his mind- and not be in need of coaching to remember what he said.  

 

Hitler purged his country of all who were not of Aryan descent - and sought to condense the German population into a single "master race."

 

Barack Obama wants to bring as many illegal aliens into the U.S. as possible,  and fragment America's melting pot into parallel societies.

 

Hitler felt "Aryan supremacy" would enable Germany to rise as the greatest power the world had ever seen.

 

Obama holds America as inferior to European socialist countries - seeking to relegate the U.S. as part of a non-existent "world community."

 

During the 1940's, Hitler expropriated the gold of each country he conquered, to pay for his war.

 

Barak Obama bankrupts his country by printing unbacked money, to finance his covert war on America's capitalist economy.

 

And ironically, when it comes to the well-being of his own citizenry, Obama is the real Nazi.

 

His concept of "health care reform" could have been written by Adolf Hitler: Forced end-of-life counseling (euthanasia). Obama "storm troopers," entering your home - telling you how to raise your children. Forced abortions. 

 

Dictator Obama deciding who - and who will NOT- be allowed medical treatment.

 

And like any totalitarian state, Obama's support of the House Health Care Reform bill (HR 3200) gives one the "choice"...either obey it to the letter - or ELSE.

 

Hiel Obama! Long live America - until the country dies under the onerous weight of the thousand-plus pages of HR 3200!
 
If one were to define totalitarianism, Obama makes Hitler look tame in comparison. This bill could have beeen written by Big Brother himself. It not only tyrannizes personal choices about one's own health options, it allows government to monitor our ASSETS as well!

-Page 16:
States that if you have insurance at the time of the bill becoming law - then change jobs- you will be REQUIRED to take the government option.

 

-Page 22: Mandates audits of ALL employers that self-insure

 

-Page 29: Admission: your health care will be RATIONED

 

-Page 30: A government committee decides what treatments and benefits you receive (unlike an insurer- no appeals process)

 

-Page 42: The “Health Choices Commissioner” decides health benefits. No other choice. None.

 

-Page 50: All non-US citizens, ILLEGAL or not, will be provided with FREE healthcare services (alien entitlements)

 

-Page 58: Every person to be issued a National ID Healthcard.

 

-Page 59: The federal government has direct, real-time access to all individual BANK ACCOUNTS for electronic funds transfer.

 

-Page 65:Taxpayers subsidize ALL union retiree and community organizer health plans (example: SEIU, UAW and ACORN)


-Page 84:
All private healthcare plans must participate in the Healthcare Exchange (i.e. TOTAL government control of private plans)

 

-Page 95: The Government will pay ACORN and AMERICORPS to sign up individuals for Government-run Health Care plan.

 

-Page 102: Those eligible for Medicaid will be automatically enrolled: you have no choice in the matter.

 

-Page 124: No company can sue the government for price-fixing. No “judicial review” is permitted against the government monopoly. Put simply, private insurers will be crushed.

 

-Page 127: The government will set wages: (The AMA sold doctors out).

 

So is it any wonder the Obama administration decided (as Rahm Emmanuel put it) to "throw long", trying to pass HR 3200 before summer recess - without anyone having read the bill? 

 

And is it any wonder dictator Obama has been buzzing around the country (like the Roadrunner) trying to convince the insured that... "you'll hardly notice a difference in your healthcare - just believe what I say!"

 

Passing HR 3200 is an Obama grand slam home run, in the bottom of the ninth, of the 7th game of the World Series:

 

POINT: Obama controls another 1/7th of the world's biggest, $14 trillion/year economy.

 

POINT: Obama expands government's size by an additional 15%, adding millions of new workers, and perennial democratic voters to the DNCC's rolls.

 

POINT: There will be a blinking beacon for an additional 20 million illegal aliens to come fence-jumping (free healthcare), and eventually, have all their "extended families" cross over to join them. Amnesty gives them all "the vote."

 

POINT: It amounts to the biggest private-to-public wealth transfer ($2 trillion) in the entire of history of mankind- "undercover" reparations. 

 

Bottom line: Obama garners enough of a permanent democratic voting majority to stay in the Whitehouse for possibly the rest of his life, as the abolishment of the 22nd Amendment (2-term president limit) becomes a virtual certainty.

 

And with the upper classes at the government's mercy, plus having their bank accounts open to disbursement, HR 3200 would make Hitler, or even Josef Stalin blanche.

 

Ever mindful of the difficulties in securing a sixty-vote( filibuster-proof) majority in the Senate, Obama successfully pressured Harry Reid (in April) to create an alternative path to passage, by adopting "reconciliation" rules, stating..."if they (Congress) do not act by October 15, the Senate could pass health care legislation with a simple majority of fifty-one votes.

 

Conclusion: HR 3200 is the worst idea EVER conceived for the American public. 

 

The elderly must decide if they want to continue to be medicated, or if they would rather 'die naturally.'  The young will be forced to buy unnecessary full health coverage, to pay for ACORN, the unions, and all the illegal aliens (plus their relatives).

 

And the biggest irony: ALL physicians are going to have to learn how to perform abortions -creating a moral dilemma for Catholic doctors and hospitals alike. 

 

And true to form, as any good band of Nazis, Obama and his Dems dominate the entire government. There's nothing stopping them if they TRULY wanted to pass this scam. But minister of propaganda, Rahm Emanuel, advises "seeking cover," by having some Republicans "on board with it."

 

No matter how he does it (or if he does it ) Obamacare will be nothing other than a massive totalitarian welfare bill, making the world's most expensive health care system even MORE expensive- while still not covering everyone.

 

Hitler's German efficiency would've never allowed for that.
