Is there a Question on Ballot Box or Bullets?

The liberal media is certainly making an allegation that Republican incendiary rhetoric is fanning the flames of violence on the Legislators (all Democrats) who voted for the Health Care Bill. For instance - the commonly used term "Battleground States" to reflect states that could go either way Republican or Democrat, now mean, according to the liberal media, States where Battle type violence would occur. How dis-ingenious the liberal media are. Yes, Ann Curry - this means you. Shame on you for your shameless, slanted "interview" and line of questioning of John McCain who is an honorable man, least you forget.

What is more incendiary,....saying we're going to repeal the Health Care Bill and vote the socialists out of office? or, signing a bill in law that has not been read, that diminishing our ability to pursue happiness because of higher taxes and restrictive health care choice, ....a bill that mandates Americans purchase a product, and a bill that gives the Federal Government powers that are not enumerated by the Constitution? Maybe the fact that key Democrats are exempt from this sweeping bill is incendiary?

Having said that, nobody I know is recommending violence either an overthrow of the government or violent punishment of Democrats who floated this bill. I repeat: No sane person is advocating violence in response to Federal government legislation.

We certainly need change. The litmus test for all legislators should be their adherence to and respect of the Constitution. But this change has got to come through the ballot box and not bullets. Again, through the ballot box and not bullets.

I fear that some people will believe that the liberals will decide how this goes.

Is the U.S. going the Way of Rome?

I guess we haven't learned much in 2,065 years.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

Double Standard - No Obama Care for Obama and other Elites

Can you believe this Crap! How much more corruption are the American people going to take? From Prison Planet, 24 March 2010.

Loophole Exempts Washington Insiders From Obamacare Mandate

No Obamacare for Obama, his family, his staff, the vice president, the vice president’s staff, the rest of the administration, Nancy Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s staff, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Reid’s staff, all other House and Senate leaders and their staff, all committee members and their staff.....

While declaring that rank-and-file House and Senate staff will no longer benefit from the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP) and must purchase their cover from restricted federal health insurance pools, along with the rest of the surfs, the Washington elite have ensured they will not have to participate.

“Because they were more familiar with the contents of the law than anyone in the country, it says a lot that they carved out their own special loophole.” a Washington Times editorial states.

Of course, it goes without saying that the president, vice president, cabinet members and top White House staff are also exempted from the mandate to buy coverage through the exchanges.

Republican Senators Coburn and Grassley, who both twice filed amendments last year to close the loophole, have accused the Senate leadership Democrats of purposely exempting upper-level staffers from the overhaul.

“The American people will be appalled to learn the health care bill exempts leadership and committee staff. This special deal for unelected staff underscores everything the public detests about the arrogance of power in Washington ,” Coburn said. “I tried to fix this inequity along with Senators Grassley, Burr and Vitter, but Majority Leader [Harry] Reid obstructed our effort.”

Senator Grassley reiterated the sentiments in his own statement, declaring “The new health care law creates two double standards. The congressional staff who wrote the new law exempted themselves from the new health care system, while other staff will be in it.”

“And, President Obama himself will not live under Obama health care. The message to grassroots America is that it’s good enough for you, but not for us.” the Senator added.
