Paying Attention

Several recent e-mails reminded me of the Roman Cicero's comment: What is the abolition of debts except that you buy a farm with my money, that you have the farm, and I don't have my money? So, what are the bailouts? easy bankruptcies? the health care proposal (all 1200 pp. of it)?

And I love how the elites poke fun at Clarence Thomas and his supposed intellectual limitations. Let's see the anointed top this one from the Supreme Clarence: "Respondents...use [a good] that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market.... If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything--and the Federal Government is no longer one of limted and enumerated powers." Of course, maybe some people want an all-powerful government that can strip us of whatever it wants. After all, what the Italians said of Mussolini was, "He made the trains run on time" (and he really didn't).

I hope I'm not the only one bombarding my elected officials to vote against this so-called national health bill. Have you read any of it? Heard anything in particular about its provisions? It's only 1200+ pages long and BO and his administration have admitted they haven't read the whole thing--yet they are urging its passage before the term ends in Aug. Hmmm. Why? Didn't the loons in DC learn their lessons from the bailout packages tendered the financials? They feigned shock that bailout $$$ was used to give lavish bonuses to CEOs of failing companies--yet, the bill they passed and BO signed had specific provisions for just such lavish bonuses.

Yeah, yeah--tell me about how "outraged" people are, how "fed up" they are, how they're "not going to take it any more." Blah, Blah, Blah. No they aren't and yes they are. If they were, they'd make it so none of these Bozos would even consider such a flawed, rushed, rotten bill. (Don't believe me about that? Go ahead and read it, for instance, the part that requires you to designate an approved health plan on your tax forms--or pay a penalty/fine, or that Soc Sec recipients--hmmm, after age 65, I wonder who that will be?--will be required to undergo Last Days Counseling, you know, talk to someone about ending it sooner, rather than later. Can you say Kevorkian? And how many of BO's associates have hinted or come right out and said that old people are a drain on health care, the economy, etc.?) Ah, but to know all this, you have to be paying attention.

Who knows, in a few years, maybe BO and his government will prevent me from writing things like this and I'll be forced into watching American Idol?????

Out....
