Collaborator! An ominous, ringing word - conjuring images of betrayal, treason, and disloyalty.

A collaborator is a sell-out; a quisling. A person who - for their own selfish ends - works to undermine his own country and takes up the cause of the enemy.

The collaborator - lacking in conscience - places his personal well-being ahead of the common good, despite what harm his treasonous actions may bring to those around him.

Perhaps the most infamous collaborator in history was Judas Iscariot, whose "deal" with Jewish leaders fulfilled the scriptures' foretelling of a traitor who would betray Jesus.

Can there be any lower form of life than a collaborator? Many a nation's fate has hinged on that ONE person, who sold out his country and became a collaborator.

The term "collaborate" (from 1817) originates from the French "collaborateur."  It was used during the Napoleonic Wars to describe smugglers trading with England.

Collaboration - defined as "traitorous cooperation with the enemy"- dates from 1940; in reference to those who helped Nazi Germany following the French defeat in early World War II.

After the Americans liberated Paris in summer, 1944, young French women, who had collaborated (slept with) with German officers, were seized by their outraged peers, and had their hair sheared with animal clippers - then a swastika was painted on their bare scalps.

Remarkably, in all the long history of American foreign wars, there was but one famous collaborator, Benedict Arnold, whose name (to this day) will forever signify infamy.

And now, for the first time, we are engaged in a sordid, domestic form of warfare - the people vs. their OWN Congress! And could there be a new Senate collaborator who now lurks amongst them?

A new ominous chapter in American history is being written: our nation experiences the anomaly of an ELECTED Congress, who's taken sides  AGAINST their own constituents! And a rebellious electorate now speaks in one unanimous voice: "we don't want to be forced to buy Government health insurance." 

But the defiant Democratic Congress - in search of "collaborators" - refuses to listen: 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi only needs 14 "Blue Dogs" to get to a 218 victory margin in the House; and it’s very possible that she could beg, borrow, or bribe that many votes when the September session begins. Currently, the Democrats hold 257 House seats.

But with the loss of Ted Kennedy, the Democrat's 60 seat filibuster-proof cushion in the Senate is now vulnerable - except for the possibility of a Republican "collaborator." And many believe Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, just might provide that sorely-needed 60th vote.

Snowe is a Republican in name only. She comes from Maine, a sparsely-populated state who's inhabitants support her by a overwhelming margin of 70%.

Given that the public option is all but a certainty in the House, Snowe has introduced a Senate version involving a so-called “trigger:” e.g., a public option would be triggered only if private insurance companies fail to deliver on what would be a pre-determined point on "fair and affordable coverage"

But what is "fair and affordable?"

This is what so overwhelmingly frightens Americans: ONE senator - who represents a state of just 1.25 million - now holds the long-term fate of over 300 million; and Snowe's history of voting is indicative that she answers to no one but herself!

And ironically, Snowe is the only Senator floating the trigger idea, which is the Democrats' last hope for getting any type of public option passed by traditional Senate rules.

Absurdly, Snowe seems to be under the delusion that there is a great deal of national support for such an idea. Thus, she is the only one of the "Gang of Six" (Senate Finance Committee) actively working to see it implemented in a final bill.

(Quote) “It is important to get it to be a bipartisan initiative, given the dimensions of health care reform, and the implications to all Americans,” said Ms. Snowe. “Every American will be affected one way or the other under this.”

That's right Olympia dear - EVERYONE in America will suffer, because of one person - YOU, and your mindless collaboration. There are over 250 million people who DO NOT want any part of government-controlled healthcare!

The Senate version of Olympia's "Snowe Job" is as follows:

1) a "mandate" on every American to buy insurance or face tax penalties. 

2) a public insurance option, but only as a “trigger’’ if private insurers fail to rein in premium costs. 

3) new regulations allowing consumers to compare insurance plans, and requiring insurers to accept all customers regardless of pre-existing conditions.

Ms. Snowe says she wants the public to understand..."Something needs to be done to remove the deep anxiety facing people because of the lack of health insurance.”

But Olympia Snowe - on perhaps the biggest ego trip of her life - now becomes the one CAUSING the rampant anxiety: 

Snowe is keeping millions of Americans awake at night, wondering if their lives are about to be turned upside down by a determined Democratic Congress, and one single Republican who could enable the nightmare of government healthcare to become reality. 

Snowe remains the potential turncoat - co-operating with scheming Democrats to slap a phony "bipartisan" label on any health care plan, even though she is the ONLY Republican backing it.

But (sniffle) now that he's gone, what shall the nation do without him?

Plenty.

For starters, let's throw off all that phony "Camelot" pretentiousness, and realistically evaluate Kennedy's half-century effort as America's "champion the underdog."

First and foremost, Ted Kennedy was the consummate "problem drinker," who carried a custom silver hip flask, courtesy of  brother Bobby - a gift presented him after becoming Senator to Massachusetts in 1962.

No matter where Teddy Kennedy went - like Mary (and her little lamb) - the silver flask was sure to go.

On the night of his July,1969 accident with Mary Jo Kopechne, Kennedy had been drinking for an estimated 8 hours prior to driving off a wooden bridge. Then - leaving a still-alive 23 year old girl to drown - brave Teddy went back to his hotel and slept it off.

Later on, accounts from news reporters- who had interviewed Kennedy "off the record" - would be taken aback when he would non-chalantly pull out his flask, then drain its contents while recapping his ill-fated life's story.

Of course this was NEVER mentioned by a liberal press, choosing instead to portray Kennedy as some mythical protector of the underclass, rather than his real persona - a callous politician with a surefire forum for getting re-elected: buying votes- a trick that went all the way back to the days of FDR.

Ted Kennedy - knowing full well the story of Franklin D. Roosevelt - was the greatest vote-buyer in American political history.

From the time brother John was killed in 1963, to July 1969 when his chance ended, the Whitehouse had been destined to be Ted Kennedy's for the taking. His father (Joe senior) had always described young Edward (Teddy) as..."the best politician in the family"

That said, by the mid 60's, a power-obsessed Ted Kennedy began to build his coalitions - the minorities, the unions, the poor - the so-called underdogs of society, who's leaders were always in unanimous agreement ..."Ted Kennedy was the ONLY politician in America that could be trusted".

In 1964 - barely four months after his older brother was assassinated - trustworthy Ted Kennedy (then a 32-year-old serving his first term) gave his first major speech on the Senate floor over a divisive, highly controversial Civil Rights Bill.

Kennedy said...(quote) "We should not hate but LOVE one another".... "We should use our powers not to create conditions of oppression that lead to violence, but conditions of freedom that lead to peace"... It is in that spirit that I hope the Senate will pass this bill."

Bravo! Ted Kennedy, always the great speechmaker.

Call it what you will, Kennedy's impassioned statement was indeed, masterful political theater. He was probably half-drunk (or worse) during its delivery- although at the time no breathylizer existed on the Senate floor.

In 1965, it was Senator Ted Kennedy who would create an even more tense society by passing "chain immigration" laws. Presently, millions from incompatible cultures now call America home: Hispanics, Muslims, Hmongs, Koreans, Somalians, Ethiopians, etc.

Additionally, Kennedy's policies have created even greater racial tension between competing (and fast-growing) ethnicities, that have long-since failed to assimilate into America as "Americans."

The result? One of Kennedy's most enduring legacies – multi-culturalism..."press 1 for English; press 2 for Spanish" - with the once-great state of California as its origin.

Visit the "state" of California today; a foreign land of multi-cultural parallel societies; a liberal stew of hate that is responsible for legislators like Boxer, Feinstein and Maxine Waters, who call conservatives "Neanderthals", and want to distribute even more wealth from harried taxpayers, and make an already impossible situation even worse.

Yes; it was all thanks to a scheming, politically-ambitious Ted Kennedy, who's opening of the borders would be his way of establishing a permanent democratic voting block and eventually elect him President.

After 45 years of Ted Kennedy policies, we now face a tsunami of illegal aliens; crowding our classrooms, closing our hospital emergency rooms, unleashing violent crime, and driving down wages.

In the 1960's, it was a young Teddy Kennedy, who campaigned for the Great Society that would eventually destroy the family structure  of the "underclasses" - hurting blacks the worst.

As a result, the jails are filled almost exclusively with men who grew up without fathers, thanks to, among others, Ted Kennedy. . 

It was Kennedy, the great "liberal lion," who spent 47 years clawing our U.S Constitution into shreds.

But are we being too harsh? Are we being mindreaders? Rather, should we grant Ted Kennedy a pass and say "he had great intentions", only with horrible unintended consequences?

To Kennedy's great credit, he was instrumental in writing the law that outlawed age discrimination - the "Americans with Disabilities Act".

As a child, Teddy Kennedy remembered how his mentally retarded older sister, Rosemary, was institutionalized (and later lobotomized) by his uncaring father. Hence, Kennedy did reveal - as many will contend- that he was a man of compassion and decency.

But decent human beings do not act the way Kennedy acted on the night of July 18, 1969, when Mary Jo Kopechne’s life was cut short by the Senator’s cowardly actions; and his subsequent lies to try to save his "future presidency."

Decent human beings do not drive their wives to drink and despair with their philandering ways. Kennedy often cheated on his wife, supported all forms of abortion, covered up for his nephew in 1990 when he raped a young Florida woman; then worst of all - abandoned a poor girl in a watery grave, when she could have been saved.

But other than that, Ted Kennedy was a devout, church-going Catholic.

Ted Kennedy, perhaps the most hypocritical, cowardly politician in American history, is largely responsible for the dark underbelly of America's welfare state; a left wing, bomb-throwing socialist - the most liberal democrat to EVER serve in the U.S. senate.

The unintended consequences of his “compassion” led to a legacy of disasters; the creation of a permanent underclass; the breakup of the black family; the disgrace that is public housing.

All this (and more), is Ted Kennedy’s heritage of compassion.

This man is directly responsible for the "immigration reform" that COMPLETELY changed the demographics and culture of this country. He was behind the scheme to force banks to loan to people who couldn't repay those loans; and not surprisingly, originated the current attempt to take away our personal liberty under the guise of "health care" reform.

But perhaps it would be more fitting they dump his casket into Chappaquiddick - a burial worthy of a true psychopath,  who had abandoned a girl there to die a ghastly death, then had the gall to ask "forgiveness" from the American people.

What's REALLY wrong with America? Not enough handicapped parking spaces.

Pull into a big box store parking lot and observe... the handicapped spots now outnumber conventional ones by a ratio of at least 10 to one.

And worse, while you were waiting, you kept pressing the "door close" button; but predictably, it does not close - the button is only there for "psychological reasons." 

But why? All new elevators are automatically timed for a wheelchair to roll SAFELY on board.

So now, one must be aware of elevator rage, which is fast overcoming road rage as a threat to our already overstressed society.

Be aware - especially when traversing  the upper floors of tall buildings; you may encounter some crazed maniac, who's finally cracked to the frustration of too many unresponsive "door close" buttons, and is now ready to take it out on somebody - caution!

And how bout when you purchase some batteries, or a pair of pliers - or even a stupid bottle of glue? Try getting its plastic encasement open with only your bare hands. Given the strength of the enclosure, it's well nigh impossible.

Many a tooth has been loosened while trying to bite open the impregnable plastic required to "prevent child harm." Dentists report a boom in implants and partial dentures from people who couldn't find a scissors, then lost a front tooth- or an entire premolar area.

Years ago, we only had to worry about an encounter with a stubborn pickle jar, or an obstinate ketchup bottle that just refused to twist open.

But now, Americans are forced to keep special devices handy around the house (or in cars) for opening up just about anything. This includes hardware, medicine bottles, cold tablets, cleaning agents, and whatever safety experts deem "harmful" to kids...which is practically everything!

NOTE: the operative word here is "safety".

So relax everyone: despite al the frustrations, all the inconveniences, extra walking, extra waiting; it's for a good cause - safety. Life in America has become so safe now, it's driving people nuts! 

Our handicapped laws were originally the idea of the now-departed, greatly-beloved, most noble of men, Ted "Edward" Kennedy- the "lion."

Back in the early 90's, Mr. Lion authored the Americans with Disabilities Act- which was a good thing. Because of the great foresight, wisdom, compassion, and overall consideration of Kennedy, countless lives have been saved, and handicapped Americans in the workplace no longer face the discrimination of the past.

But liberals - in their attempt to make everything safe - have gone overboard, and continue to deluge America with laws for saving lives, preventing accidents, etc. -- but mainly for an unspoken, more sinister reason...incrementalism.

The more handicapped/safety/product safety laws that come down, the more powers the liberals have to control our lives and undermine our freedoms. And of course, like all liberals know, the fines these laws produce are yet another way to get money for democratic politicians to waste on spending projects.

Remember your old grade school classes, when the teacher - after licking her fingers - would pass out the day's lesson to the students?

This is why the democrats always manage to be on the SAME page everyday. And notice how a democrat at a townhall meeting in New Jersey, or one at a townhall in Texas, each use the EXACT same phrases, and tell the same lies almost verbatim.

But how?

How could a Democrat in New Hampshire, or one in Minnesota - having been home for the last 3 weeks- all be saying the same thing (and sounding like poll parrots) if they were not receiving general talking points from Washington every morning?

Pelosi: "Well, it's not easy, like with the stimulus, where we kept scaring them about getting laid off, and had 'em worried about rising unemployment numbers."

Emanuel; "Hmmm. You're right. But we should've come up with something by now. After all, we were in the same mess with cap and trade for a month, until I came up with that phrase "creating clean energy jobs."  "The suckers sure bit on that one!"

Pelosi: "Well Rahm, what's gonna be your big idea this time? Another crisis? Barack's under a lot of pressure from George (Soros). He says if we don't get the bill he wants passed by November, George is gonna make it real tough on him for 2012. And you know what that means."

Emanuel: "Yeh...I know. But I kind of like that one Barack began using a while ago...'doing nothing is NOT an option'...maybe we should just forget all the other stuff and keep pounding away with that."

(the conference drags out into the early AM) 

As we speak, Obama; Pelosi; Reid; Axelrod; Emanuel - all the big ringleaders are under huge pressure from the "big guy" - Mr. Soros!

In 2008, Soros played kingmaker:

It was George Soros - using the internet - who funneled all those hundreds of millions of dollars into the DNCC's campaign coffers, which enabled them to run zillions of negative TV campaign commercials. 

Result? The democrats swept not only the Whitehouse, but the other two Houses as well!

Sure people were unhappy with Bush in '08; but how about Congress? Could there have been THAT MANY people who were upset with their local congressman? No way!

The democrats won an incredible amount seats last November, and it wasn't just because of dissatisfaction; it was because of huge campaign funding; Democrats outspending Republicans by as much as 5-to 1 in some contests.

How does someone like Al Franken - one of the lowliest, ugliest, most graceless and evil-minded persons around - defeat a well-educated, well-spoken classy INCUMBENT like Norm Coleman, and win away his seemingly secure Senate seat?

ANSWER: Repetitive, negative campaign ads- and hundreds of them!

October 31, 2008: one week before the election - a Minnesota Quinnipiac poll had Franken far behind Coleman- 51% to 41. 

Then, the Franken smear machine switched into overdrive: The DNCC stepped in and spent 1.5 milion dollars to run unending, negative campaign commercials - ALL lies!

But as it turned out, the whole thing was fabricated! Coleman was not on CREW's "corrupt" list, which contained only three Senators.

Another phony Franken ad stated..."Norm Coleman voted to give billions in tax breaks to oil companies"..."Now they're raking in record profits, and we're paying four bucks a gallon for gas!"

Michele Bachmann, another heavily-favored Republican from Minnesota, came within a mere 2% from being upset, after suddenly popping up on the Pelosi /Emanuel radar screen for her comments on MSNBC's "Hardball."

After accusing Congressional democrats of being 'un-American', Bachmann survived a razor close race that had no business even being close. Pelosi personally had come to Minnesota, and assumed control of Democrat challenger Elwyn Tinkleberg's campaign, injecting a cool 2 million in DNCC money - mostly going towards negative campaign commercials.

So the next time you see some arrogant democrat on TV, defiantly answering back at a roomful of shouting constituents- stop wondering why. Their minds were made up last June, when Obama first began talking about reforming health care

Emanuel and Pelosi have given their "constituents" (the House democrats) zero leeway: vote FOR the bill - or we work against you!

If they vote "nay" they will not get any money from the DNCC (democratic national campaign committee) for the 2010 midterms. This translates to very few TV commercials - the "lifeblood" of incumbency.

So even though one's constituents may be pleased with a "no" vote on HR 3200, any House democrat who crosses "Sister Mary Meany" Pelosi will be dealt with harshly; a whack over the head with the yardstick, plus no campaign money- and they will still be in jeopardy (from the right) with the Republican effort to win back the House.

Now on the other hand, for democrats voting "yes" on Obamacare (HR 3200), many political goodies shall be forthcoming:

- they receive millions in DNCC campaign money; which means hundreds of negative campaign commercials - usually sufficient to defeat ANY challenger

- they will receive a flood of earmark money for their home districts: Just think about all those FRONT PAGE stories in local newspapers, with headlines "Local Congressman Brings Home the Bacon" (works every time) .

- they advance rapidly up the "key committee" ladder: There are chairmanships galore to be shuffled around; and to the victors go the spoils.

So if you were wondering about our democratically-elected Congress...wonder no more. It's no longer up to the constituents - it's up to the power elite in Washington, who can either bribe one to the moon, or cast them off into the political landfill, where they remain buried in ignominy for daring to go against these mafia-like power brokers.

Government healthcare (HR 3200) will pass in the House; not because anyone really wants it, but because the democrats have bowed to their money base (George Soros). And if they dare cross him, its just like any chain of command: the big man at the top calling the shots, and all the underlings below, who must answer- or else. 

It's all elementary. 

Oh Lord, deliver us! Here we go again:

The Washington Times reported CIA Director Leon Panetta had argued behind the scenes- insisting that the administration not REOPEN cases of suspected torture by CIA officers. But Mr. Panetta lost out to Attorney General Eric (the Quiet Man) Holder.

Evidently, the two had battled it out with flyswatters in the Dept of Justice basement; but 'peacemaker' Obama intervened, giving Holder the green light to "re-visit" with CIA agents about past actions. 

Such drivel. Why didn't control-freak Obama call off Holder in the first place?

Obama now chooses - under the guise of Holder's contrived outrage- to drive another liberal stake into the heart of our fabled spy agency, who has been indispensible to our nation's security ever since the end of World War II.

In 1953, the CIA played a significant role in orchestrating the overthrow of Iran's Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossadegh--the pro-Soviet leader who had nationalized Iran’s oil industry, and decided the West would no longer influence the price of Iranian oil.  

In  "Operation Ajax," the CIA argued (correctly) that Mossadegh was soft on Communism, and that the Tudeh (the pro-Soviet Communist party) might soon control Iran.

In a CIA-executed coup, Mossadegh was ousted; and the Shah - Mohammed Reza Pahlavi -assumed power, who then kicked out the Tudeh Party once and for all - thanks to our CIA.

In retrospect, it was a turning point in modern Iranian history: It consolidated the power of the Shah, who ruled Iran for 26 more years; all under the watchful eye of the CIA. 

But in 1953, what if a liberal had been president...say Adlai Stevenson (instead of Dwight Eisenhower)?

Stevenson would've told the CIA ..."Now boys... no rough-stuff in Iran. We have plenty of our own oil; it's their country; we have to respect their human rights; Mr. Mossadegh is their duly-elected leader; and if the Communists take over, its none of our business. They're a sovereign country"...etcetera - ad nauseum. 

Sound familiar? That's they way ALL liberal presidents see the CIA; not as an intelligence agency, but as agents who violate the "human rights" of others - who just happen to be our sworn enemies!

Indeed, it's these chickenhawk liberals ( Holder, Obama, Biden, etc.) who need to be put on trial. After all, who's a bigger threat to U.S. security? Them.. or the CIA?

But why get all worked up? That's what these naive, treasonous liberal presidents have been doing to our country for the last 30 years; and with all these idio-moronic voters who now go to the polls, you can expect it to go on for probably at least another generation - or even longer.

But a hundred years may go by before another fool president could do the damage of someone like Jimmy Carter, who in the first month of office, made his "10-trillion dollar" appointment to the directorship of the CIA.

Carter (like all liberals) was obsessed with being "fair". So what did Carter see as the first place to single out for reforming? Of course-- it was those nasty, dastardly, secret-service  brigands at the CIA.

In January 1977, Carter made one of the most ill-conceived presidential appointments of all time: For CIA director he chose Stansfield Turner, Carter's college roommate at the Naval Academy-- who had no agency or intelligence experience of any kind. 

After eight months of Congressional hearings (concerning CIA "domestic spying") Turner (with Carter's blessing) circulated a photocopied memo, informing 800 astonished CIA staffers of their dismissal. Most of these were highly-seasoned agents, who spoke Arabic, Farsi, and were fluent in many other languages.

To the joy and disbelief of our enemies, word spread that the U.S. had decided to delegate its intelligence priorities to only "non-human means" - satellite observations and listening posts.

The damage to the United States became apparent almost immediately. In 1978, the CIA had no idea that the pro-American Shah of Iran was beginning to lose all his support to the followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, and was toppled by militants in 1979.

Using Iranian petro-dollars, Khomeini immediately got his revenge- the funding of terrorist attacks against all American interests - largely because of the "downfall" of the CIA. Overnight, America had been blinded to everything going on in the Middle East - thanks to peanut farmer Carter, and his "ten trillion dollar man"...Stansfield Turner.

Our next intelligence fiasco quickly flared up in winter of 1980, with the surprise Soviet invasion of Afghanistan . Leonid Brezhnev had sensed that Carter was naive. And with the start of the Russo-Afghan conflict, herein lies the actual origin of Al-Qaida.

Young Wahabi Muslims fighters were sent from Saudi Arabia against the Soviets. One of these was Osama Bin Laden. Hence, Al Qaida was born in the hiding places of the Mujahideen caves of  Afghanistan, where Bin Laden hides out to this very day.

After running out the Soviets from Afghanistan , the Afghan Mujahideen (freedom fighters) eventually became the Taliban. Bin Laden - a Mujahideen war hero - returned to Saudi Arabia, to later found Al-Qaida. 

Today, we have NO agents inside any of these radical Islamic dictatorships. There are a paltry number of Americans (for intelligence service) who can speak Farsi, Arabic, or any other of the Middle Eastern dialects.

This is why we blundered into Bush's second war in Iraq: if we had even a reasonable modicum of intelligence on the ground, we would have KNOWN for sure if Saddam Hussein had nukes, or was just huffing and puffing.

And this is also why we remain thoroughly confused about the Taliban in Afghanistan:

Of what strength are the enemy? Is the Taliban working with Bin Ladin, or are they just another 7th century Muslim cult, going around chopping off digits and heads - enforcing their medieval Islamic sharia laws?

Who knows? Certainly not the CIA, whom we continue to demoralize at our own foolish peril. 

Hence, we are as blind today as we were back in the late 70's, as to what our enemies in the Middle East may be planning next. The CIA will probably never recover from Carter's profoundly idiotic blunder.

These self-inflicted wounds also contributed to serious U.S. reverses in Angola, and Ethiopia. But to this day, the surviving members of the Carter White House stubbornly refuse to take the blame for these disastrous setbacks, and the astounding dollar cost to the U.S. economy when taken as a whole:

1979--the pro-USA Shah of Iran is deposed- The price of oil doubles- costing the US economy approximately 1 trillion dollars from 1979 to 1982, when oil prices reverse.

1979-The hostage crisis- the origin of the radical Islam/worldwide Muslim terrorist movement. Price to the U.S. economy? Unknown.

1982- The Marine barracks at Lebanon is destroyed by a truck bomb. Price to the U.S. economy? Unknown.

1991-Saddam invades Kuwait- a total surprise to America. Price to the U.S. economy for Desert Storm: Approximately 50 billion dollars.

1993- the World Trade Center bombing. Price to the U.S. economy: Approximately 1 billion dollars.

2000- the destroyer Cole is attacked & nearly sunk; Price to the U.S. economy; less than 50 million dollars

2001- September 11; Price to the U.S. economy (including real estate; stock market declines, and economic downturn): 8 trillion dollars.

2003- faulty intelligence leads to Iraq invasion- Cost of the second Iraqi war to the U.S. economy: approx. 1 trillion dollars.

Total cost of all U.S. intelligence failures since 1978: Approx. TEN trillion dollars!

Would any of these have happened if Carter had not dismantled the CIA?

And finally, add in the cost of the ongoing war in Afghanistan, plus building and maintaining Gitmo, etc., and we now have reached a grand total of 11 trillion dollars- exactly EQUAL to our national debt- plus the unsustainable amount of interest we pay on it every year.

So it looks like our "evil" CIA may have turned out to be the biggest bargain ever before 1978.

Quote) ...To me, death is not a fearful thing. It's living that is cursed." Jim Jones (circa 1971).

As a child, Jim Jones began his early fascination with religion, forming his goal to start his own ministry. Then Jones later became a voracious reader - studying assiduously the works of Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler...his boyhood idols.

By age 17 - feeling destined for fame - Jim Jones was heavily into drugs and spiritualism, actually convincing himself he was bigger than God.

This was the frightening charisma that would mark Jim Jones as one of the most evil-minded con men in American history.

By the mid 60's, Rev. Jones relocated his "flock" to San Francisco, for its loose liberalism and drug culture. Upon arriving, Jones renamed his church "The Peoples' Temple."

Jones - a mystifying, spellbinding speaker - began attracting huge crowds around the Bay area. Even California Governor Jerry Brown was seen attending services at the Peoples' Temple .

While Jones had rocketed to fame as a preacher, former followers began accusing him of using intimidation tactics inside the temple (including physical and sexual abuse).

To escape negative publicity (plus an impending IRS audit) Jones urged his followers to relocate to the South American countryside..."for the purpose of creating a utopian community".

Compelled by Jones' boundless charisma, many chose to join him in an isolated commune in British Guyana-  later officially named "Jonestown."

But the complaints from former members had persisted - culminating in a trip to Jonestown by California Congressman Leo J. Ryan, who arrived there on November 17, 1978.

At first, Jones welcomed Ryan's large entourage; but when members began to feel threatened by his presence, the Congressman chose to depart immediately.

After about twenty commune members tried to accompany Ryan home - an infuriated Jim Jones ordered his guards to follow the Congressman's party to their plane, and shoot them all dead on the runway.

Ryan and four others were killed; but the others had escaped, and managed to fly back to America . Anticipating Jonestown's demise and his certain arrest, Rev. Jones then orders a "state of emergency." 

And ever since -- when applied to fervent supporters of Barack Obama - to "drink the Kool-Aid" also means..." deeply in thrall of someone".

QUESTION: What's the difference between God and Barack Obama?

ANSWER: God doesn't think he's Obama.

But although everyone has heard this joke by now, the many frightening similarities between Jim Jones and Obama are far from funny; particularly Obama's latest (and most diabolical) ploy: 

Obama now claims he's (quote)..."okay with being a one-term president." Sure he is.

This is right out of the Jim Jones autographed handbook:

Obama is about to take down his followers - even if it means their demise. We're talking about those 50-some blue dogs in the House, plus a number of Senate democratic moderates.

And to all you kool-aid drinkers out there who may actually believe him....keep up the delusion - drink up some more: Obama - undoubtedly an atheist himself-- is the great con man of all eternity: No lie  by this man is beyond him to retain his Whitehouse hold for 8 years - and BEYOND.

Indeed, what president in recent U.S. history was willing to serve for one term?

The presidency is the pinnacle; the focus of everything. You are the most powerful person on earth; and narcissist Obama wishes nothing other than to be president forever.

Consider carefully: Would a  president - especially with a god-like ego like Obama - just nonchalantly announce..."Oh, by the way, I don't care about another term. I just wanna do what's best for my county."

So now, in the most Machiavellian ploy of his career, Obama has decided to deal from the bottom of his political deck and play the Jim Jones card: Convince a gullible Congress to fall on their political swords - a final act of loyalty to their altruistic "one term" president.

Clever? Incredibly!

And by making everyone think he's now a lame duck, all the gullible fools on Capitol Hill now lower their guard, thinking..."Wow! If the president feels that strongly about passing a government-optioned health care bill, maybe we SHOULD too."

Suckers!

Pumped up by Obama, their great, "near-divine" con man, HR 3200  flies through the House (with intact government option) without a single Republican vote.

And resigned to their fate in 2010, the Blue dogs are now of mind to complete the agenda of their wonderful, altruistic president.

Hence, by year's end, Congress will have blown right through cap 'n trade, card check, AND illegal immigrant amnesty - passing them all. 

So where does that leave Obama?  Right where he never dreamed he could be:

Obama now looks more accomplished after having passed his sweeping Obamacare bill. Plus he he'll have three-plus years to spin the benefits that'll be coming from government healthcare, letting all the furor subside.

Next, he'll invent a ploy to win back the "senior vote"- making those over 65 eligible for some great new govt. program- yet to be announced. 

Bottom line: to get all this, Obama only risks control of the House for 2 years - a trade he welcomes anytime. And the republicans - thinking him to be a one-termer - greatly underestimate the situation at their own peril.

Obama knows... a government-dependent voter is a dependable voter. The hugely-expanding bureaucracy that now begins to grow up around government Obamacare will form a huge democratic voting bloc in the next election.

By November, 2012 Obama can count on:

-the ever-expanding underclass

-greatly expanded union memberships; SEIU; AFSME; AFL-CIO, etc. 

-aliens who get amnesty, and thereby, have the vote for 2012

-millions of the newly-unemployed - surviving on their monthly Obama check

-ACORN fudging the census

So with a mild improvement - combined with moderate-to-good popularity ratings - all but guarantee Obama's second term.

Our population is becoming slovenly and fat - disgracefully ugly. Manners? Practically non-existent. Citizens' tolerance for one another? What tolerance?

The U.S. racial divide is an ever-widening chasm.

Our country - founded on a declaration beginning with, "WE the People"- now becomes, "I the individual"...or "Us against THEM." 

There is no longer any semblance of national unity.

Displaying patriotism seems to be something one must now apologize for.

The most disturbing evidence is witnessed on our summer holidays - Memorial Day & 4th of July- when you can travel for blocks across residential districts, and count the American flags displayed on ONE hand - if you see any. 

We have grown to become an ignorant nation:

Our public school children are no longer taught U.S. history; and ominously, express no desire to even learn it. 

1/4 of the population has no idea of who the vice president is. Over 50% have little or no concept of how their government works, or even care about being a responsible citizen, or why civics is important.

Baseball is supposedly the all-American sport- it has long been a "window" into our essential culture.

If you look carefully at movies of baseball games from the past, most of the fans are dressed in their "Sunday best', and are of proportionate physical dimension (thin). Back then, people acted CIVIL (not animal) toward each other - proper manners were taken "for granted" .

Generations ago (the old days) baseball fans chose to segregate themselves. Blacks would sit in the bleachers; whites in the grandstands -but EVERYONE would have a good time.

Now go to a baseball game today: an "aura of obnoxia" pervades the stadium: obscene, embarrassing language; rampant drunkenness; fans taunting one another- even deliberately tossing beer onto outfield players. Fights are not uncommon. Rude and crude have replaced politeness and courtesy.

These are the true hate crimes: the slow erosion of our civil tradition.

In the 'old days', there was racial segregation; but despite this "stain of shame," our society functioned with little animosity toward one another.

When Franklin Delano Roosevelt died in April of 1945, there were tens of thousands of both black and white mourners alike, lining the railroad tracks along Roosevelt's final route to burial. All were grief-stricken about their late president, who had led a closely-united nation through a great depression and a world war. 

In November, 1963 - when President Kennedy's coffin slowly wended its way through Washington, ALL of America would again mourn the death of a fallen president - perhaps the most beloved of the 20th century.

On that dark day, there were no "demonstrations for equality" - everyone was thoroughly grief-stricken over John Kennedy's untimely passing.

Yes, in the good ol' days, America had its problems. But for the most part, everyone was grateful to reside in a country, where an abundance of food, gainful employment, and the "luxury" of television were the envy of a much simpler world.  

For two consecutive centuries, America saw no limits to its progress; nothing to impede its claim as the promised land, where people of diverse cultural and ethnic backrounds had merged into a single melting pot.

But what has happened? Ominously, we hear no longer of the melting pot anymore.

This great divide within our country started the VERY day some nefarious liberal coined that infamous, unity-shattering, tradition-destroying word...MINORITY. Ever since, America has never been the same. 

And no matter how many "concesssions" are made, there is no end. The Left will continue to advance it's perpetual agenda - shrouding it within cries of "racism".  

So who wants to hang up a flag anymore, when the government it represents has become a guarantor of tyranny - rather than an upholder of liberty?

Americans never have, and never will, accept being forced to do anything - especially against the will of the majority;  which explains WHY we've become a hateful and racially-divided society.

Not hateful in a moral sense, but in a partisan political sense, where hate is directed at no one in particular, but towards an imperious federal government; an ever-expanding bureaucracy that cannot be escaped.

Hence, everytime a working person opens their hard-earned paycheck - and SEES what has been deducted in federal taxes - it nurtures that hate; that simmering resentment. 

Everytime that person sees a fashionably-dressed individual, "paying" with food stamps for a giant basket of groceries, it furthers resentment even more.

And when that same person hears of yet ANOTHER group claiming some new right denied, or in demand of still another entitlement (health care), it stokes the hate level to an internal boiling point- but yet, they must force themselves to hold it all in.

Indeed, as long as vote-pandering politicans embolden "minorities" to demand more entitlements, it also emboldens the conservative majority to feel "entitled" to hate all the more.

Could we disintegrate as a nation, all because of the rancorous politics of the left? Or do we - as traditional Americans - unite to save our country? It's up to every one of us to decide.

God willing, there will always be a United States. But either we rid Washington of these callous, hate-engendering liberals, or - by the next generation - the word "America" will eventually come to have an entirely different meaning.

What's up doc? Apparently, quite a bit:

However, the Obama administration, with its cadre of liars, certainly doesn't want any of its "stupid" average American citizens to find out:

As of now, practically everyone - from Sarah (death-panel) Palin to Barny (trustworthy) Frank - has elucidated on the merits of a government-controlled  medical establishment, except the ones who would know best...doctors.

But leave it to Commander-in-Sneak Obama; long before all the controversy, he's been well ahead of the curve.

First, let's be apprised that the AMA (and all non-member physicians) have long opposed socialized medicine - well aware that Canadian doctors have been fleeing in droves across the border into the U.S.

So last June (in a pre-emptive strike) Obama cut a deal with AMA president Dr. James Rohack, having promised him a "great new plan for doctors" if they jumped in EARLY to support Obamacare.

The hook for Dr. Rohack was the ol' Obama "bait & switch"..."if you (the AMA) come in NOW, you'll be given a seat at the table next fall when the final bill is written." Sure. 

The AMA swallowed the bait... 3 times over.

1)The AMA was promised more money would be forthcoming for med procedures than doctors were now allocated from medicare/medicaid (a lie) 

2) They were promised that the Senate bill absolutely would NOT allow a public option (lie) 

3) They were promised that there would be tort reform (lie) 

So is it any wonder why the AMA "came on board" well BEFORE HR 3200 was released? And worse, Obama has been trumpeting this travesty to a surprised American public - acting all innocent about the whole underhanded affair.  

After the provisions of HR 3200 became known, doctors - accusing the AMA of a "sell-out"- have since been canceling their memberships in droves - but to no avail.

HR 3200 will do exactly as Obama has long intended: Doctors will begin quitting their profession en masse, playing right into his hands, as fewer available doctors purports MORE rationing of healthcare - thus Obama retains more public money for his "other purposes."

HR 3200 was specifically designed to attack America's doctors where it would hurt the most: 

-no tort reform

-once singlepayer is in effect, Obama will tell doctors to... "take it, or leave it."

- HR 3200 will discourage Americans from becoming doctors (and nurses), who'll be nothing other than underpaid government employees 

But if doctors begin to quit en masse, what then?

Simple: Obama now achieves his next milestone: the importation of Muslim doctors; who not only will work cheap - but like in western Europe - they will establish radical Islamic extremism here in the  USA, something our "closet Muslim" anti-president has plotted all along!

Traditionally, Islamists have long been using the medical profession to export jihad, plus raise money for terrorist organizations - something else Mr. Obama is well aware of.  

In the Middle East, the brightest college students have few pathways in their homeland. With little infrastructure, industry, or retail, the only opportunites for advanced study are primarily limited to the fields of engineering and medicine.

Therefore the average Muslim doctor is vastly underpaid, and is indeed, more than willing to migrate from his native country.

Since the1980's, Muslim physicians have been migrating to England in huge numbers, and until recently, were recruited with open arms, relieving the dire doctor shortage - a direct result of the socialization of British medicine.

FACT- There are more Muslim physicians in the United Kingdom then in America and Canada combined.
FACT- There are more Muslim Doctors in the UK than all of Europe combined.

FACT -The vast majority of Islamic terror suspects in UK originated from mosques that were founded (and supported by) Muslim doctors that had migrated from the Middle East. 

In 2007, Scotland Yard discovered that all eight suspects in the attempted terrorist bombings at the Glasgow International Airport were ALL Muslim doctors. And during this same investigation, detectives uncovered a plot - an additional 45 Islamic doctors had ALSO been planning terrorist attacks on the U.S.

Today England no longer recruits Muslim physicians. For those now entering, they're being given careful scrutiny, as the British finally realize the ominous threat that they pose.

But, here in America, we’re NOT doing the same. 

Shockingly, we have ZERO directives in place (in Citizenship and Immigration Services) for re-evaluating medical visas for Muslim doctors now practicing in the U.S.

Many arrive here on special visas to work in small towns or at large universities - although we actually have no shortage of either. But things will begin to change rapidly if (or when) Obamacare goes into effect 

Last year, a story in the London Times revealed that Church of England clergyman, Andrew White - president for the Foundation of Reconciliation in the Middle East - was at a conference in Amman, Jordan when he was taken aside by a Sunni religious leader...

...(quote) "I listened to him for 40 minutes, and he went on about how they were going to destroy Britons and Americans, and how they were going to be doing more in the U.K. and the U.S. He then finished by saying, 'those who cure you, will kill you.' " 

Mr. White added that he believes many militant doctors and professionals from Iraq and the Middle East are heading to the West to work. And what better facade for terrorists than the medical profession?

In the last five years, many "jihadist" doctors have been arrested and convicted in the United States; but the stories are almost always unreported in the liberal media.

One of them, Rafiq Abdus Sabir, an emergency room doctor in Boca Raton Florida, was sentenced to 30 years for swearing an oath of allegiance to Al Qaeda, and had been scouting locations in Long Island N.Y., to set up a jihadist camp.

Oncologist Rafil Dhafir -who was jailed in 2004 on terrorism charges - was a fundraiser for his Iraqi "charity" at the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, Florida, where Dr. Sabir had been a congregant.

The there's Dr. Kassan Baiev, who brags of saving the life of Chechen Muslim leader, Shamil Basayev - the mastermind of the Chechnya school massacre in September of 2004.  Dr. Baiev has been a top fundraiser for this same, nefarious "Islamic Center of Boca Raton," where other Muslim doctors have been arrested for having secret ties to Al Qaeda.

In 2005, A group of doctors in Hernando, Florida admitted to providing millions of dollars in terrorism funding, to bring Ramadan Abdullah Shallah (cool name) to the University of South Florida.

Shallah then left Florida to take over leadership of "PIJ" -the Palestinian Islamist Jihad- an organization committed to the creation of an Islamic Palestinian state and the destruction of Israel.

A recent Google search reveals that many Florida Muslim physicians have used their positions and practices to collect funds for terrorism.

Two Muslim charities - the "Global Relief Foundation" and the "Benevolence International Foundation" - received $1.3-million from 15 local St Petersburg doctors. Dr. Imad Tarabishy, a local orthopedic surgeon, gave an astounding $800,000!

And the good Dr. Tarabishy is also president of the "North American Islamic Trust," an institution aimed at spreading Wahhabist (fundamentalist) Islam in North America. Tarabishi also helped to found the infamous Barclay Street Mosque, together with doctors Nazir Hamoui, and Hussam Shuayb Mahmaljy. 

But enough of the fancy names- now we connect the dots:

Obama has gone to great lengths to "de-emphasize" the war on terror. He refuses to close the borders. His Obamacare plan will be nothing less than a flashing beacon for alien immigration.

His final objective? Basically creating THREE parallel societies in America; the two (American & Hispanic) that we have now, and then a rapidly-growing Muslim population - similar to the western European "model." 

Given all this, recall our good friend (and spiritual advisor) the most Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and his "hope" for America: (Quote) "No, no, no! Not God bless America - but *!!#!%**#! America!"

Lately, there's been a lot of talk of Nazis, and their trademark symbol - the swastika: 

Nancy Pelosi rants about "professionally organized thugs"- bearing signs with swastikas - "intimidating" congressional democrats at townhall meetings. 

A demonstrator outside an event featuring Rep. Lloyd Dogget (D-Texas), carries a sign with the Nazi "SS" (secret service) symbol painted on it.

Scott's staff had arrived at his office one morning, and discovered Nazi graffiti emblazoned over the sign bearing the lawmaker's name. An FBI spokesman said the bureau is investigating the incident as a possible hate crime, along with the Smyrna Police Department.

Mr. Scott (who is black) added that he received hate letters that used the "N-word" in reference to him, and characterizing President Barack Obama as a Nazi extremist."

Indeed...the VERY IDEA- calling our dearly beloved anti-president a Nazi extremist!

But maybe those nasty hate-mailers just may have stumbled onto something:

And whenever it appears in the U.S., liberals automatically decry it as (horrors) racist! But did the Nazis ever discriminate against blacks? We'll have to look that one up.

When the Nazis were initially in power (1933-1937) they were driven by the ideology of Adolf Hitler - securing a dictatorship within Germany, against all opposition and parties.

But how much of a part did the mystique of the crooked cross - the swastika- play in Hitler's scheme?

In 1920, Hitler cleverly discerned that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia - a symbol of struggle that also would have high impact as either a poster or flag.

After the war, U.S. Army historians catalogued Hitler's personal library, and found numerous occultic volumes that had been heavily annotated in Hitler's ornamental handwriting.

Among the books was one Hitler kept by his bedside, “The Secret Doctrine” by Madame Helen P. Blavatsky - the 19th century Ukrainian philosopher, and founder of the "Theosophical Society" - an organization formed to advance spiritual principles, and search for "Truth." 

Hitler - long a fan of the preturnatural - had chosen the swastika, because according to Madame Blavatsky, it would "draw power" to wherever the Theosophists had assembled.

Watch old films of the Third Reich: Observe the trademark Nazi "upraised arm" salute. Supposedly, the German masses are sending occult power to Hitler, as he receives it with open palm, hand upraised over his shoulder, next to his ear.

Now imagine America's "First Reich"...with Barack Obama as Fuehrer, and Rahm Emanuel (as Hermann Goering) in awe of his "zenlike" leader.

Picture propaganda minister Robert (Goebbels) Gibbs - replete with Nazi uniform and swastika armband - standing on a podium before the lamestream media, espousing Fuerhrer Obama's party line.

Now add in Harry Reid (as Heinrich Himmler) - wearing his "Nazi hat" and the "SS" armband & uniform - declaring anyone opposing healthcare legislation as being an evilmonger- an enemy of the STATE. 

And don't forget the "mad doctor," Ezekial Emanuel - as the Nazi human-experimenter Joseph Mengele - diabolically seeking to purge the population of the elderly, who no longer serve any useful purpose to the Obama Reich.

Indeed; picture them all (Congress- the Cabinet) dressed as Nazi officials; with their swastika armbands - saluting Fuerher Obama; "yes" men, the whole bunch of them; each willing to follow their leader to the very end.

And remember that Germany too had been a democracy, until a charismatic orator began using brown-shirted thugs - beating anyone daring to challenge them into submission.

From its origins, the Nazi party had ruthless men whose job it was to disrupt the meetings of rivals, and protect those of its own. In 1921 this unit was named Sturm-abteilung (the SA), who in 1925, began wearing brown shirts - thus giving the unit its nickname.

So is this any different to what ACORN has done, since Obama began controlling it in the 90's? ACORN stole its first election back then -courtesy of  the fraudulent MOTOR VOTER rule Obama had defended in a lawsuit vs. the Illinois governor.

And now, ACORN is out crashing townhall meetings, violating the First Amendment Rights of those who oppose the health care bill - Obama's centerpiece legislation.

Even as we speak, ACORN is out attempting to steal the 2012 election for Obama by corrupting the census.

And what democratically-elected president would tell those who oppose him - at a Virginia town hall meeting - that they need to "shut up"? Is this America, or some land of a totalitarian despot, who forbids you to freely speak your mind?

Next, we have the Obama "fishy citizen" list - right out of the Hitler play book. This is sounding more and more like the early days of the Nazis, when neighbors and family members were encouraged to spy on each other, "for the good of the Reich." 

Unbelievable. Dictator Obama actually wants you to spy on your family and friends, then turn them in if they have the audacity to disagree with him!

And can it be denied that Obama has engaged in "scapegoating," unparalleled by anyone since Hitler? Anyone disagreeing with Obama is bought off - or deemed evil.

Hitler came to power as a change from his country's awful economy. He promised to decrease the unemployment rate, and restore Germany’s standing in the world. He was voted in democratically. Then Hitler began to deny the rights of citizens, such as free speech, a right to bear arms, and ultimately, made people believe he was something he was not - until it was too late.

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 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.

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.

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:
