http://www.myfoxdfw.com/dpps/news/dpgonc-obama-writes-health-care-bill-to-skirt-congressional-delay-fc-20100219_6166903 I was afraid this would happen. I will be anxious to see it on Monday. It is proof that Obama and the dems intend to pass it and avoid the filibuster. They really don't care what the people want or think.

GOP Should Bring Anti Health Care Reform Democrats to Obama's Summit

Now this is a good idea! Talk about bipartisanship!

Apparently the dems can't.

revolution; Can we avoid it?

Alot has been said about revolution in this country. There are a very small number of people in our society that, I believe, may be looking forward to some kind of armed conflict against the federal government. Reports of the growing number of militias, the increase in gun sales, the growing number of people who are frustrated and angry about the direction the country is heading, could all seem to indicate a possible problem. I've heard the liberal pundits and politicians point to these things and try to pin the radical revolutionary tag on all conservatives and libertarians, especially the tea parties. The main stream media is doing their best to connect the nut job that flew his plane into the I.R.S building in Texas to people like me. Let me make my position understood. I love God, I love my country, and I love our Constitution. Taking that into consideration, I don't know how anyone could think that I would be looking forward to killing people, and tearing my country and my Constitution apart. You have to understand that every movement will attract a small percentage of radicals. If it is a conservative, or libertarian movement, it may attract a small percentage of radicals, such as racists. This isn't because Conservatives and libertarians are racists. It's because this is where you will find people who believe the government is growing to big, and to powerful. This is where the radicals feel they can persuade people that minorities and Jews are to blame for all our problems. Why are they at a Conservative rally? Because they can hide their racist agenda in anti big government rhetoric. But they are a very, very small percentage of the movement itself, and not excepted by the movement.
On the other hand, have you ever seen a liberal demonstration. Not all Democrats are Communists, fascists or anarchists, but this is where these groups go to spread their propaganda, and their destruction of private property and violence. The good and the bad come to the same rally. I don't blame all the bombings and killing and arson done by the radicals at these demonstrations on all liberals. A small group of bad people can make the majority look bad, especially when that view is propagated by a wide spread media campaign. This is a danger to all of us because the radicals on both sides are a very small percentage of the population, but if normal people are constantly demeaned, and accused of being radicals, they will feel demeaned. They will feel like they are being over run and it will make them angry. At some point, they will feel like they have no option but to fight back in a way that can't be ignored.
Now, to answer the question. Can we avoid a revolution? Human nature is a troublesome thing. Take any other species on the planet. I'll use wolves as an example. I have watched many specials on the wolf. No matter which one I have watched, the pack always acts the same. They hunt the same, they all have the same instincts for survival. Humans on the other hand, come in different types. You can break them down into many, but I'll go with the 4 major types. There are those who relish power. They want to be in charge. They want to control, and they believe that if they can achieve control, that everything will be better. These people I call the controllers. For the common good, they will do anything they have to do to gain this control. In their minds, the end justifies the means. They believe that if they could just control everything, people would see that they were right, so, they are willing to lie, break rules, and buy support for their cause. Then there are those who want things, but want to get them the easy way. Rather than being like the wolf and hunting for their food, they want it given to them. Rather than making decisions and taking action on their own, and possibly facing the consequences of such, they would rather have someone else in charge. Someone who will say, "Go there and do this." Now it is someone else's responsibility if something goes wrong. This takes the burden of responsibility and failure away from them. These I call the dependent. Then there are the enablers. Those who are willing to work, and make decisions for themselves, but somehow feel that others are incapable of doing this for themselves. This group, in some way, finds a moral superiority in fighting for the rights of the "incapable" to be taken care of by those who seek to control at the expense of everyone else. These 3 groups will alway's work together, the result being a class of people who lose their natural survival instincts and become dependent on the controllers. The last group, is people who want things, but find satisfaction and pride in working for those things. They love the freedom of making their own decisions and failing, thus experiencing the consequences, and succeeding, and reaping the rewards. Now, success is a personal thing. For some people, if they work for someone else, and make a decent living, and can support their family, they are happy and successful. To others, if they run a profitable business, and employ people, that is their success. I see success as being happy, and self reliant.
Now here's the problem. In all of recorded history, the first 3 groups have been at odds with the last group. The controllers will always use the dependents and the enablers to assume more and more power. That power requires funding. Funding requires control. The last group, the freedom group, the group our Founding Fathers belong to, don't want to be controlled. They want the Government to do only the things that are necessary to maintain the security of the nation, so that they can be free to regulate their own lives and their own industry. It is a constant battle between the two forces in every democracy. The Controllers, who use the dependents and the enablers vs. the freedom lovers. Each and every democracy that has ever existed went through the same struggle. Every one of them has fallen to the controllers after around 200 years. The recognized pattern is that free nations start out as controlled nations, lets call it tyranny. They fight for freedom. Freedom once obtained brings prosperity. Once prosperous, the people become complacent. Then they become apathetic. Then they become dependent. Then civil unrest occurs. Then, in order to control the civil unrest, the police and military are sent in, and the people are once again in tyranny. It seems to be human nature to go through this over and over again. We never learn from history. We always think that it could never happen to us, not our country. Yet, it always does. Let me ask the pundits who are so sure that a revolution is never going to happen, what are the circumstances that you believe would justify resistance. Are there any circumstances that, in your mind, would justify fighting back? I believe we can come out of this without any violence if enough people wake up. But if they don't, would you go quietly into government control over society, abusive and confiscatory taxation, government control over means of production and distribution, religious intolerance, indoctrination of our children by government run schools, the usurpation of State powers, the collection of all power to a central government and the destruction of our Constitution. If you would not fight for these things, then what would you fight for? Many of these things have already happened. All of them have happened to a certain extent. If your answer is yes you would fight, then it is just a matter of what level of government control you are willing to except. There are many steps we must take before anyone even imagines a revolution, up to and including States declaring their sovereignty and refusing to submit to unconstitutional ideology. We are not near that last resort yet. But believe me, there is a point that people will not let the controllers go past. History proves this. And if the old saying, "history always repeats itself" is true, its not if there will ever be a revolution, the only question is when? We can only pray that we can push back human nature, learn from history, and prove that human beings are not just mongrels that eventually, always wind up destroying what our forefathers left us. I will leave you today with a quote from Alexis de Tocqueville. "Americans are so enamored with equality, that they would sooner live under the equality of servitude than the inequality of freedom". I hope he is wrong about us.

This is Paul Revere reminding you "THE RED COATS ARE COMING"

Joseph Stack's Last Post

If the words of this mans last post on his blog are true then he truly is a sad case. The media is already trying to link him to "tea party" anger but this goes way beyond politics. May he rest in peace.

The Deal Is Off!

Sen Harry Reid in a surprise (maybe not so much of a surprise) move withdrew a bipartisan jobs bill and replaced it with the original democrat-sponsored bill. So much for bipartisanship!

Family feud: Nancy Pelosi at odds with President Obama - Mike Allen and Patrick O'Connor - POLITICO.com Oh my looks like its getting ugly up there on the hill. I would love to be in the congressional aides lunch room right about now. The stories they could tell! Watch out Nancy. You and all your congressional buddies should be aware that your aides can make or break you! If they get ticked off enough from doing all the heavy lifting you will no doubt feel it in so many ways because I bet they know a thousand and one ways to make you miserable. You best be sharing some of your perks with them. Without them you most certainly wouldn't be where you are today.

Is There Even Bipartisan Agreement on What 'Bipartisan' Means? - Political Punch

Is There Even Bipartisan Agreement on What 'Bipartisan' Means? - Political Punch President Obama gave his definition of bipartisanship at his impromtu press conference yesterday. Sounds to me like he still expects the republicans to give in to the dems on most things. In other words, bipartisanship means you "do what I want with no disagreements!" The GOP had better be very prepared for that Health Care Summit.

Enough Already

According to recent polls the public has had it with both sides not getting things done. IMHO, If Obama had set the tone in the beginning and made a sincere effort to reach across the aisle we might be a lot further along legislatively. He can blame everyone else all he wants but the truth is that it was really on him to set the tone from the beginning and insist that congressional leaders work for bipartisanship. Instead he let Pelosi and Reid run amok, and now look where we are. The lesson learned here is that Chicago thuggery, threats, bribes, lies, and bullying ultimately do not work. The American people don't like it and will express their disapproval in the coming elections.

Some states are looking to opt out of health reform if it is passed. Will your state be one of them? Virginia and California are considering it and other states will no doubt follow suit. My question is, what is the point of health care reform if the states can opt out?

Parties Feuding Over Cooperation

Is there any such thing as true bipartisanship anymore? If so where is it?

The author offers insightful analysis from both a military and Muslim point of view. Political correctness has been around a long time in the military. The question is will our military and civilian leaders recognize this and change strategy before we have another Ft Hood incident?

Army warned about jihadist threat in '08 - Washington Times

Army warned about jihadist threat in '08 - Washington Times Mr. Poole has identified one of the core problems the military has in dealing with Islam, that of political correctness and working with individuals and organizations that are associated with terrorist groups. The question is will the Army as well as the rest of the military and our civilian leaders change their strategy before it is too late? It is time for them as well as all of us in America to become better educated about Islam and the concept of jihad. Scroll down to my blog and website lists to find some excellent educational websites on Islam. Education starts with the individual. Understanding jihad is key to understanding Islam.

Council of Governors To Advise Obama on Military Activities in the US

Hmmmm....one of them is the Missouri governor whose now infamous state Information Analysis Report linked Christians to violence and domestic terrorism last year. Hmmmm....

I Refuse To Be Comforted

Click on the title to read an amazing article. I think it speaks to a lot of the frustration and anger many Christians feel today. I too refuse to be comforted in that I don't want to be a Christian who stands on the sidelines, clutching my Bible, and refusing to engage in any solutions to the monumental problems I see happening in the world. I don't for one minute believe that God is calling me to withdraw from the world while waiting for Him to come back. I do believe that when Jesus comes back He wants to find me carrying out His mission of love and justice. It comforts me that in the Bible Jesus has let us know the end of the story. But before the story ends He wants me to continue to do all I can to bring His message of love, hope and salvation to the world. He wants me to actively engage in the world, help others, do good works, work for justice and peace because these are things that will exercise my faith and prepare me for heaven. He wants me to trust that He will come back when the time is right and to be ready to leave with Him at any moment. My prayer is that if He does come back in my lifetime He will find me in the fields reaping His harvest.

Terrorists Plan Attack On Britain With Bombs Inside Their Bodies To Avoid Airport Scanner Detection

Lord have mercy, just when you think you have heard everything! What will those crazy terrorists think of next?! You have to be one sick puppy or really into 72 virgins to actually allow someone to put a bomb inside you so you can blow up something. It's not enough that we have jokes about exploding underwear and shoes, now we will have to hear about exploding butts and boobs!! All you terrorists out there, is that how you want to be remembered? That you sacrificed your body parts for the cause and became a source of Jay Leno and David Letterman material? What are you thinking?!?

By the way take a look at the scanner images in this article. Those of you who are for total body scanning may either change your minds or head for the gym! These are quite revealing!

New US Budget Assumes Passage of Health Care Bill

Obama's Struggles With Health Care Reform Echoes Clintons' Failure in 1994

Click on the title to read a good comparison of the Obama and Clinton Health Care Reform efforts. However, I think the author seems to think both reform efforts stumbled because people found them too big, too comprehensive, and too confusing. What he doesn't seem to realize is that people are against this plan because they read the bills and understand very clearly what is in them!

Virginia Senate Bills Say No to Requiring Health Insurance

Another article from the Washington Post detailing the Virginia Senate vote against requiring health insurance.

Va. Senate Bans Health Insurance Mandate

The Virginia Senate sent a strong message by voting against a mandate to buy health insurance. This vote could potentially complicate the federal mandate to buy insurance especially if more states follow Virginia's lead. Click on the title for details.

Pelosi Says She Has The Votes

So now Nancy Pelosi is saying she can get the votes needed to pass health care reform. Click on the title for details. She is nothing if not tenacious and determined to do this for "the American people." We should take her determination very very seriously and not let up for one instant on our efforts to contact our senators and congressmen, telling them not to vote for this monstrosity. Don't underestimate this lady's power and bull-headed determination to get her way. I think the reason we are seeing so many dem retirements is that they are trying to get away from her! Honestly I think she is in the wrong field. She should work for the CIA. Who needs waterboarding when you can have Nancy Pelosi twist your arm?

Taking Matters Into Their Own Hands

Several states are promoting/pondering legislative initiatives for health care reform with most of the initiatives centering around insurance coverage. Click on the title for details.

Obama Surrendering Control of the Internet to Foreign Powers

Click on the title to read about how Obama is moving to cede control of the internet to a foreign governing body such as the UN. The internet was invented in the US and since that time the US has had control of it. The international community has been pressuring the US to relinquish control on the premise that it is too valuable a communication tool to be managed by just one country. To me, this is another one of those on-the-surface-it-sounds-good ideas. We may think that surrendering control will buy us more international cooperation and good will. But it will not. Obama seems ready willing and eager to surrender control without getting much in return for the US. He seems to be operating on the premise that a foreign governing body will control the internet as well as or better than the US. In fact he seems more willing by the day to turn the US over to world control. Rule the internet, rule the world. Contact your senators and congressmen today and tell them to fight ceding control of the internet to any foreign governing body!
