A Nation of Entitlements

I write this as it appears the Health Care Bill before Congress has enough unprincipled representatives to vote to pass. Apparently the overwhelming opposition to this bill throughout the Country did not bear enough on the Representatives to have them vote down this monstrosity of tax increases, entitlements and unparalleled Federal Government power.

This forebodes terrible things for this Country as we become more and more a Country of Entitlements and not personal responsibility. The Founders are rolling over in their graves.

A local example in the County I live in: The largest City in the County voted to grant benefits for the unwed partners of City Employees. This is a city that is at least 10 million dollars in the red this year. One person’s Letter to the Editor states that “even criminals in prison are given free medical care so what not the unmarried partners of City employees?” Are you kidding me or what? Then, this idiot further writes, “Let us hope that common sense will rule the day.” 10-4 on common sense, but we need the Thomas Paine type of common sense, not the Barack Obama Socialist type of common sense.

This is What I Call a Valid Warning

Been extremely busy these past couple days, watching liar after liar on television spinning the Health Care debate. With a reported 73% of Americans disapproving on the current Health Care Bill and with Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) at a 3%,...yes 3% approval rating, and Congress in general not far behind at a 17% approval rating, you can see what promoted the following billboard ad.

The Cost of Illegal Immigration

"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives."

Received this on e-mail. It's easy to dismiss individual programs that benefit non-citizens until they're put together and this picture emerges. Someone did a lot of research to put together all of this data. Often these programs are buried within other programs making them difficult to find. You can see what lunacy goes on in Congress and you can see why the USA is going BANKRUPT.
