A Young Doctor's Opinion

This was sent through the patriot e-mail net. This Physicians is going to be a folk hero as well as no doubt recieving scorn from leftist in his profession.
Pictured at left is a young physician by the name of Dr. Starner Jones. His short two-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis". If you doubt any part of what Dr. Jones says, go visit your local hospital emergency room as an observer for an hour or so some Friday or Saturday night. Diagnosis, prognosis and cure in just three (3) short paragraphs! It's worth a quick read:



Dear Mr. President:

During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ring tone.

While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"!

During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.

And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses.

Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based on the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me."

Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.

Respectfully,

STARNER JONES, MD

Allan West (R-FL) on Obama's Failed Energy Policy

Yahoo posted an article about Congressman Allen West complaining about Obama's failed energy policy, but entitled it "Representative's West Ironic Complaint About Fuel Prices". It seems this article took issue with Congressman West filling up a 2008 Hummer H3 that performed with 16-18 mpg.

In light of the failed electrical vehicles such as the Volt and given our huge, untapped natural fossil fuel reserves, what the heck are our alternatives?  It certainly ain't alternative energy - at least not in this decade! 

I sure wish my trucks got as good as fuel mileage!! West paid $70 for a fillup, which is considerabley less than what I pay to fill up my Super Duty.

Rep. West's statement is as follows:

"People have asked me before is there any area where I could praise President Obama? Certainly, he has an impeccable penchant for understanding the power of the bully pulpit. President Obama is also very adept at promulgating deceptive language masquerading as policy, actually just insidious political gimmickry. This "tax policy" is an example as well as today's speech on his "energy policy" shall be. Here is the bottom line, last night it took 70 dollars to fill the tank of my 2008 H3 Hummer,
what is it costing you? What does it cost the President to fill his gas tank?"


The article went to allude that Congressman West's was drawing negative attention. They said "attention". I say their intent was to make it seem like "negative attention" while the vast majority of the comments were neutral or said that gas prices were too high and the Administration wasn't doing anything about it.

Can't fool all the people, all the time. That's a good thing for Democrats to remember. If they don't we the people will remind them come November.

Rush Limbaugh's Slur and the Rest of the Story

Everyone has heard about Rush Limbaugh insulting the young Georgetown law student, Sandra Fluke, after her testimony to Congress about the implications and effects on students, mostly women, not having contraceptives included in their student health plans. Well, Rush is a big idiot who runs his mouth. Even though he takes up conservative causes, he is someone I do not listen to at all. I just can't stand his
tone of voice or his rethoric.

But what is being lost in the whole "Rush called her a slut" news event, if the actual testimony from Sandra Fluke. Warning - this is not going to be politically correct! But I'm a tax payer and I'm damn mad!

She, Sandra, has seen the "emotional, mental and physical" toll that lack of contraceptive care has on the women of Georgetown. She say's that without insurance, contraceptives can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. She goes on to say that (the costs) is "practically an entire summer's salary." Fluke also reports that 40% of the Georgetown women say they "struggle financially" due to the burden of providing their own contraceptives.

Wow,....it just breaks my heart that students, women in particulary, are getting the short end of stick because the Government, previous to Obama unconstitutional directive, failed in a so-damn-hard-hearted manner to provide women with a tool to live their lives in a chosen manner. I am not alleging excessive prosmicuity for these Georgetown co-eds, it's just amazing how far this Country has fallen to have our adult children, being educated in our best institutions, think they are entitled to have the rest of us taxpayers fund their lifestyle. How dare you Sandra Fluke!

I don't know what made me sicker,......listening to a young American think the trest of the country owed her,..or seeing Nancy Pelosi's face close up.
