Fastest Recount in History
As Iranians beg for freedom and fairness the “guardian council” (the most laughable name for a government body) has declared that there was no fraud. Obviously they have magic powers as they did when they counted the first time. This is what happens when a country has supreme leaders and such. The only thing the guardian council was guarding was its own ass. In a totalitarian regime anything is possible if the government says it is. Millions of Ballots can be counted in a matter of minutes, fraud can be determined in the same amount of time. With a wave of a magic wand this all happens to the wonderment to the people. WOW!
I know that this is not a surprise to anyone, but this is the place that WE are headed. In this country we now have Czars. We have people with massive regulatory powers who were never elected and serve at the pleasure of the President. These Czars can say or do anything and the people have no power to remove them from office or even check their work. We have Bank Czars, Auto czars, bailout czars, pay czars… I think there’s 8 in all but whatever right.
Look we can all sit here and believe that Obama was “Forced into these actions by the Bush administration” or we can believe the truth. Obama is doing EXACTLY what Bush was doing by taking power from the people and giving unbelievable powers to the government. We can believe the truth that Obama had other options that could save our economy and those options he intentionally ignored in order to consolidate power for himself and his buddies.
We are becoming Iran. We are slapping chains on ourselves as they fight to brake theirs off.
Another strike against individual liberty
Look, I don’t think there is a person alive in America that doesn’t know that smoking is unhealthy. And if you haven’t seen the reports and the ads and the literature, then it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out that pumping smoke into your lungs isn’t good for you.
But for some reason, despite all the warning signs against it, millions of people choose to smoke every day. This is a personal choice and even teens know that it’s bad for them… hell that’s probably why most teens start smoking anyway. But nevertheless kids do it as well as adults. There isn’t much more you can do when it comes to smoking. We have truth campaigns (which tell a lit of mistruths… but I digress) and all kids of other ways to educate people about the harmful effects of smoking. Enough already! If people want to smoke, let them smoke.
Oh that’s right, smokers are being blamed for the high cost of healthcare. Never mind that GOVERNMENT is proven to be the biggest problem in the health care battle. Lets blame smokers! They’re an easy scapegoat.
The problem is that with a looming national healthcare service in the midst this is just a taste of how the government is going to regulate your life under the auspices of reducing health care costs. First it’s something like smoking which most people don’t do, and a lot won’t have a problem if it goes away. But then they will turn their eyes toward something else… maybe McDonalds.
Then it’s people who don’t exercise. Or people who eat excessively fatty foods. Soon we’ll have government sponsored heart monitors implanted in us that will notify the Department of Health and Human Services that we don’t exercise enough and that our universal health care coverage has been revoked. All in the name of saving money.
Iranian Propaganda Machine
The Iranian Example
So we have Iranians protesting in the streets about the results of their elections. We have a brutal police state cracking down on the protests at every turn and (according to the Iranian government) killing at least 17 protestors in the process. What are the Iranians protesting? Are they protesting the results of a single election? No.
They are protesting the Ayatollahs! In reality the Iranian people are sick of being offered “choices” instead they want actual choices. The Ayatollahs set the real policy by approving candidates. You can rest assured that no candidate can be approved without following the Ayatollahs policies. So if the Iranians want a free election they must remove the Ayatollahs
In a twisted way we have a very similar situation here in the U.S. We’re told that we have two choices in government: Republicans and Democrats. Both are run by the political elite. Both conduct themselves in secret back room meetings and push policy that is contrary to the wishes of the American People. Yet we’re told that these are our only choices. Red or Blue and there are no other colors.
Maybe Iran isn’t lagging behind us in the philosophy of democracy. Maybe we are looking at the future of the U.S. Maybe we’re going to be in the streets one day getting beaten down by police simply because we want freedom. We want real freedom and not the appearance of freedom, not “choices” but actual choices.
Balance
God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired, “Where have you been?”
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look, Michael. Look what I’ve made.”
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said. “What is it?”
“It’s a planet,” replied God, “and I’ve put life on it. I’m going to call it Earth and it’s going to be a place to test Balance.”
“Balance?” inquired Michael, “I’m still confused.”
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. “For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while Southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I’ve placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things.”
God continued pointing to different countries. “This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.”
The Archangel , impressed by God’s work, then pointed to a land area and said, “What’s that one?”
“That’s Washington State , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of software.”
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, “But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance.”
God smiled, “There’s another Washington . Wait till you see the idiots I put there.”
What I’m reading now
Right now I’m reading Gelnn Beck’s Common Sense! It’s a great book! It really gets to the heart of some of the major problems that we are facing right now including the runaway government spending, over regulation, and other insane things out government is doing to destroy us.
The great thing is that both parties ar killing us and we support them. We give them our money and time and blood, and sweat for what? I don’t know. So they can hose us? Yay us!
Get this book and read it. Well actully read the 5000 year leap first. THEN read this one! We need to stop this insaity before we follow the same fate as the Weimar Republic.

Random thoughts today
What have we become? A nation of codependents? Why must the government solve every problem that we have? Why is it that this administration’s answer to everything is more government regulation and control?
A couple of random concerns from me today.
The President is looking to give the Federal Reserve MORE power. This violates the Constitution which states that congress has the power to make currency. The Fed is a private bank and we are giving it regulatory powers. Of course there will be a government committee sitting over the Fed to watch it headed by none other than Tax Cheat Timothy Geithner. Yes! Good old Tax Cheat Tim will be making sure the Fed is following the law or whatever its supposed to do…
Government Healthcare is in the works. Here’s a little article that shows you that the government is responsible for the high cost of healthcare. In fact it is so responsible that it outweighs the cost of uninsured people not paying for their healthcare. But government is now going to fix it by mandate! Here’s a question. If the government mandates something that is already in short supply what do you think will happen? Could it become more expensive?
We put our faith in corrupt politicians who market themselves as saviors. Have we lost faith in OURSELVES? The individual reigns supreme in the United States! Why have we lost touch with that?
Putting our trust in government will only lead to shackles and oppression. Mark my words.
Beware the state controlled media and national health care
So we have ABC doing an all day broadcast in the White House really soon. It’s unfortunate that this will only be a 24 hour propaganda cycle. We’ll have Good morning America, and a National Health care Q&A in the blue room. Does anyone think for one second that there is going to be ANY tough questions on this health care thing? I doubt it. Most likely there will be two kinds of questions first there will be planted questions that the Administration Officials can knock out of the park, and then a few questions where people ask “what will I get? What will the government do for me?” These whiny excuses for Americans will be first in line to get a government handout even if they don’t need one. But we’re all expected to take the bullet on this because there are 45 million people uninsured.
What won’t be in this Q&A? How about how it will add $1 Trillion to our national debt? That’s not what it will cost, no. That’s how much will go unfunded after the tax hikes and new taxes on health benefits. That’s $1 Trillion in that the future generations are going to be on the hook for. But since they’re already on the hook for $10 Trillion after Bush got done and it’ll be $20 Trillion after Obama is done what the hell?
And the best part of all this, is that while we get these 45 million people insured, 37 million people will lose their insurance because it will be too expensive for them or their employers to keep the health benefits. That’s another question you won’t find during this little propaganda session. $1 Trillion in extra debt in order to insure a whopping 9 million people…
Another question that won’t be on this little Q&A is how after this massive new insurance program is instituted it will pay for people’s insurance who make over $200k!!! What? No! Yes. It’s true. This plan will help people pay for health care who need absolutely no help. OK it’s not quite that simple. A few examples are like a family of 4 making $110k would get government help paying for insurance. Octo-mom gets hers paid for even if she makes $203k. John and Kate +8 gets help even if they make $222k. This is absolutely retarded. People who make this kind of money aren’t going to have problems finding health care. Remember that families that make $259k per year are rich enough to afford tax hikes but people making $222k per year are so poor they need subsidies.
The kicker is this. People who make less that $33k WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE!!!!!!! HA HA HA! It’s so insane. We’re paying for health insurance for people who don’t need the help, but we’re stiffing the people who supposedly need the help the MOST!!! This is change you can believe in? HA!
Help the rich and screw the poor! I though that was the Republican M.O. not the Democrats who look out for the poor and down trodden.
Oh wait, that’s right. The expansion of Medicaid will be considered in another bill. Considered! This is insane and heartless! It will destroy the private insurance industry and force people on to this back-asswords system. Where the federal government will choose what is best for us.
Think about this new Consumer Protection Agency that Obama has just created. In the speech he gave he said that it would review products and choose which is best for consumers. You may think I’m crazy but this is coming. You can thank both the GOP and the Dems for this stuff.
Big government can’t solve problems! Did it keep GM and Chrysler out of bankruptcy with those hundreds of billions of dollars in bailouts? Nope. You think health care is gonna get cheaper with trillions of dollars in tax payer money?
But does all this mean that the media is state controlled? Yes. ABC is running propaganda for Obama. NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC are also running propaganda for the Obama administration. Why? Well GE got some bailout money. That means they officially have to play by the government’s rules. GE has invested billions in healthcare products including devloping the system for a nation-wide health care database. GE wants those contracts. Lucky for GE, that it owns NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC!! And how nice of those companies to be running positive stories on Obama and his health care plan. Amazing.
More on political parties
So it’s no secret that I used to be a Republican… OK so technically I am still a Republican but that’s just a matter of going down to the DMV… which I dread. The DMV represents to me some of the worst things about government. There are 200 people in line and 3 tellers, with rotten attitudes waiting on you… but I digress
I realized that I still get a little huffy when people bash the GOP. I get to thinking something like “hey those are my people!” But if I think about it… The Republicans in Washington are not my people. They don’t know anything about me and for the most part what it’s like to be an average citizen. Most of them voted for the TARP and the bailouts when Bush was in office, but now that a Democrat is in office they suddenly find principles and a backbone?
It must be easy to be the minority party since you can say no without there being any real consequences. You can stand up there like John Kerry and tell people you voted against the war! Or that you are against the stimulus package! But I’m sure we can agree that if a republican had come up with that stimulus bill then they would have voted for it.
If John McCain were president and he asked them to shut down GITMO they would have done it. When the democrats were the minority party they railed against the GOP for being in bed with big business and giving out no-bid contracts to Halliburton. But now that they’re in power they are nationalizing big businesses, giving them bailout money and are well on their way to giving no-bid contracts to GE, who just so happens to own NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC which have been the most pro-Democrat/ Pro-Obama news agencies on TV. Hmmm. Both parties guilty but both point fingers at the other party.
This is the folly of political parties. It takes the argument of principle away and we end up focusing on D’s and R’s like its a family feud, a race riot, or a damn holy war. We can’t even agree on principle but we just know the other team is the enemy. If Americans would wake up they would see that both parties take us to the same place.
