This is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG

A man was detained and turned over to the Secret Service today in Hagerstown, MD. He was holding handprinted 'Death to Obama' and 'Death to Michele and her two stupid kids' signs while attending a healthcare town hall meeting.

This is wrong on so many levels ...

First, it is illegal to threaten or appear to threaten the President. The Secret Service, rightfully so, takes swift and forceful action when a perceived threat is identified. It is this way no matter who is holding the office, and is absolutely the correct thing to do.

Second, no matter how angry you are over policy, it is never acceptable to threaten those who don't agree with you. Debate, disagree - yes. Threaten, either verbally or physically - no.

Third, there is no information yet on who this man is, or why he held this sign. Is he a right wing nut job, a left wing nut job, or a Dem plant to cast a negative shadow on opposition to Obamacare? I'm sure we will be told in the coming days.

Fourth, this guy is just plain stupid. No matter why he did it, he is in a world of trouble now - and he should be!

As the anger over what Obama and his left wing goons are doing to this country spreads, we are going to see more of this. Obamacare has been exposed, and the dirty, underhanded way in which he tried to force it on us is making people very angry, very disturbed at what their government is doing to them. The Democrat agenda, the speed in which they are pushing it through, and the secrecy in which they are doing it are causing what should be a civil debate on policy to crumble into out and out hatred. The stage is being set for something very bad to happen, something that will split this country wide open. I pray to God that it doesn't happen ....

I can't believe that this country has been pushed to this point by arrogant, ignorant people who feel they are the only ones who know what must be done.

Gutless Jerks

Meet Democrat members of the House Eddie Bernice Johnson and Chet Edwards. Johnson's district includes minority heavy areas of Dallas. Edwards' is North Central Texas, including Waco and the Ft. Hood area.

These are the only two Democrat reps from the North Texas region - all others are Republicans.

Both of these individuals have canceled plans to have town hall style meetings on Obamacare, opting instead to do 'tele-town hall' meetings, where their assistants screen callers during a 'generous' one hour teleconference.

This is happening all over the United States. Democrat Senators and Representatives are taking the advice of the DNC and Pelosi/Reid, and ducking in person meetings to discuss Obamacare. Why? The evidence is all over your TV screen. People are pissed off at this bill and its ramifications, and take their rightful opportunity to voice their disgust to their elected representatives. Democrats hate this, because they hate being exposed - angry mob rallies are their bread and butter, and they can't stand it when the tables are turned. The more this anger is seen on TV, the more it makes like minded individuals stand up and voice their opinion - big no-nos for the Democrats.

The third person in line for the Presidency has called such protestors 'un-American' and 'Nazis'. Mainstream media and Democrat members of Congress call them violent, unruly mobs. When protests like this happen in support of Democrat stances, it is called 'patriotic', 'exercising their rights', 'freedom of speech'. When they happen in oppostion to Democrats, it is 'evil', and must be stopped by any means necessary, including calling out the Union thugs.

Obamacare - Just Makes You Want to Throw Up

The House version of the Obamacare bill is 1018 pages long. It is massive, and it has embedded in it endless little gems like these:

If you do not get your health insurance from your employer, you will be forced to use government supplied health insurance. It will be ILLEGAL for you to attempt to purchase your own private health insurance, and it will be illegal for companies to offer it.

If you lose or leave your job, you will not have the current option of continuing your health insurance (currently called COBRA). Unless your previous employer continues to pay for yor coverage, you will be forced to go into the government insurance plan.

Payments made to health care providers under Medicare will be sharply reduced. This will force many providers who currently accept Medicare patients to start refusing to do so. So, Americans currently relying upon Medicare will see their health care choices sharply curtailed.

By year four of Obamacare, the CBO (non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, run by people appointed by Dems in Congress) estimates that the cost of the plan will add $200,000,000,000 to the federal deficit each and every year.

God help us ....

Obama Care is Right Around the Corner

Obama the Immaculate and his pet monkeys in the Senate and House are going to ram through their healthcare reform in August. This legislation, the most fundamental change in American Society since slavery was abolished, will be forced through unseen, not understood, ill defined, and under-funded. This is being done on purpose.

This is the track record of this administration - force through very important legislation at the speed of light, before anyone knows what has happaned. Why - because they know that none of the crap they are doing will stand up to scrutiny. The American People will not stand for what he is doing, if they are given the chance to understand what it is. The Congress knows this, and most of them will not support the legislation, if they are given the chance to understand what they are voting for. He cannot afford to allow his agenda to be seen in the light of day ...

Socialized medicine, paid for by the 'rich', is just around the corner. It will be law before you even know it.

Here is a chart, released by House Republicans, defining as a flowchart how Obamacare will work. Instead of you giving a call to your family doctor for an appointment, this is what will happen. Notice the distance on this chart between the healthcare providers and the consumer. Granted, this was produced by Republicans, but from careful study of the Democrat proposals and existing government agencies - it isn't made up. Take a look at this, and see how well you think it will work for you and your family...

Dems - The Rich Will Pay For All Healthcare

The Democrat controlled House Ways and Means Committee, the primary faucet for federal tax law changes, is leaning heavily towards an income tax surcharge on 'the rich' to pay for the majority of Obama's Socialist Healthcare Reform.

Shelley Berker (D-NV), member of the committee, said the surcharge would be levied on those who earn over $200,000, or couples who earn more than $250,000. How much of a surcharge it would be was not disclosed. The surcharge emerged as a frontrunner, edging out a general increase in payroll taxes that would hit everyone.

What better way to buy votes from middle America than to give them healthcare paid for by the rich?

I am not in that 'rich' category, but this is just wrong.

Another problem is Obama's changing definition of 'rich'. By the time this could become law, the definition might be $100,000 ... or $75,000 ...

Update - Saw some numbers today indicating that with the Obamacare tax surcharge and everything else that is being heaped on them, 'rich' residents of New York City will be paying out at a 57% tax rate. Incredible - the government is going to take 57% of their income. I had seen numbers in the past, showing where less than 44,000 'rich' people were payiing 90% of NYC's tax income, and the number of people doing it were dropping at an unprecedented rate. NYC is wondering why the rich are leaving it - they are being taxed to death, you stupid idiots! Pretty soon, those 44,000 are going to be gone, and no one will be there to pick up the slack. NYC thinks it has a budget problem now, just wait ... they will be in worse shape than CA.
