   When they do, ask them for the details on each talking point. Try not to laugh as they squirm.

   I am especially interested in how cutting $500 billion from Medicare as Baby Boomers flood into the program “strengthens” it. If this statement does not confrm in your mind that they think we are just too stupid to care for ourselves nothing ever will.

   Make sure you ak them to show you in writing what the projected costs are and the list of benefits. That will be fun too.

   Dear Tea Party Members:

   Ask for specifics. Make sure the staffers give you verse and chapter in the actual bill to back up their talking points. In other words, make the staffers aware that der reader, er ‘leader’, Obama, did not provide factual information about the bill. Nancy and Harry helped to muddle it further – in hopes that we give up. We know better than to allow them to flummox the Tea Partiers!

   Make use of succinct comments in the guest book to let them know we want no part of Obamacare!

    Here is a direction the people can live with Nan-

    Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary
    LIB’ERTY, n. [L. libertas, from liber, free.]

    1. Freedom from restraint, in a general sense, and applicable to the body, or to the will or mind. The body is at liberty, when not confined; the will or mind is at liberty, when not checked or controlled. A man enjoys liberty, when no physical force operates to restrain his actions or volitions.

    2. Natural liberty, consists in the power of acting as one thinks fit, without any restraint or control, except from the laws of nature. It is a state of exemption from the control of others, and from positive laws and the institutions of social life. This liberty is abridged by the establishment of government.

    3. Civil liberty, is the liberty of men in a state of society, or natural liberty, so far only abridged and restrained, as is necessary and expedient for the safety and interest of the society, state or nation. A restraint of natural liberty, not necessary or expedient for the public, is tyranny or oppression. civil liberty is an exemption from the arbitrary will of others, which exemption is secured by established laws, which restrain every man from injuring or controlling another. Hence the restraints of law are essential to civil liberty.

    The liberty of one depends not so much on the removal of all restraint from him, as on the due restraint upon the liberty of others.

    If you want to know where San Fran Nan wants to take us, look at a Europe where your political choices are between Hardcore Socialist and Diet Socialist “center-right” parties or worse yet, a Mexico where the leftist party, PRI, ran the place into the ground during its 75-year exclusive reign. The drug wars, the abductions and gangland murders, the illegal aliens coming over the border, people living in trash heap shantytowns, etc. are legacies of that rule even with the center-right in power now. The Democrat-Socialists are using healthcare to ensure they are power for decades, and to ensure the Republicans or any other rival party is basically more of the same.

    Worst case scenario is something akin to Venezuela, Cuba, or China. With our left populated by angry people out for “social justice,” i.e. revenge against the White Man, I wouldn’t say that scenario is totally off the table.

    Intro:
    There are days in my life when everything is dreary
    I grow pessimistic, sad and world weary.
    But when I’m tearful and fearfully upset
    I always sing this merry little minuet:

    “They’re rioting in Africa
    They’re starving in Spain
    There’s hurricanes in Florida
    And Texas needs rain.

    “The whole world is festering
    With unhappy souls
    The French hate the Germans,
    The Germans hate the Poles

    “Italians hate Yugoslavs
    South Africans hate the Dutch
    And I don’t like anybody very much”

    This type of comment makes me realize how horrid DC has become. They are encouraging myths. Taking 500B from Medicare will not strengthen it. They call ‘strengthening’ Medicare increasing costs by adding to the prescription drug program that they excoriate R’s for passing in the fist place.

    The myth is they strengthen Medicare. The REALITY is that Medicare will still have to be fixed if this monstrosity of a spending bill gets passed.

    While there aren’t any death panels, they do intend to bankrupt the states with Medicaid unfunded liabilities. The more they pawn off on the states, the better the federal books look. They’ll pay for it for a few years, but after that it’s on the states’ books.

    The ‘leadership’ in DC is pathetic. Their only goal is to find out how much of our money we will allow them to spend.

    They need to FIX MEDICARE. THAT is the federal government’s main health care priority. . . or it should be. If you took all the 12 B in profit from the biggest insurance companies of last year, it wouldn’t make up 25% of the 60B lost in waste and fraud in Medicare.

    The problem is Medicare. This Obamacare does nothing to fix Medicare and lawmakers will have to make the difficult decisions concerning it within the decade. . . even after this ‘historic’ bill passes.

    THe way I understand it, that would not be a bad thing. The States had insisted on the anti-trust exemption so that they could exert controls over the insurance companies – but that led to the situation where only certain companies are allowed in the state, killing competition. Removing the anti-trust exemption is a necessary step in promoting competition across state lines.

    I’m no expert on is, but that’s the way I understand it. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    My understanding flows from the logic that says that as individual states regulate insurance companies, it would be unfair to also subject them to competition so the insurance companies traded off regulation to gain virtual monopolies.

    ‘Bambi wants to be loved and adored. It’s like a controlled substance to him. The Narcissus in Charge is going to find out what it feels like to be shunned, scorned, and loathed. That’s when you’ll see the real guy emerge. Thank the Almighty we have so many men and women that have served their country and can still remember how to defend it.

    I am done with these Dems. Done!!! Their attitude is: Let’s laugh at the American people, mock them, because they’re trying to derail our grand utopia. I got news for these people: your precious moderates, gays, unionists, women, and minorities can’t save you when there’s a united population against this bill.

    Here’s a message for these idiots: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, GET OUT OF MY LIFE. My husband just had to fill out that joke of a census form, threatening fines and jail if you DO NOT fill it out. It was directed more toward Hispanics and the illegals who are not wanted in this country. Dems are already planning for the population changes that will “favor” their party. The rest of us who lived here our entire lives and care about this country can go hang.

    I am absolutely through with these people. If this sham bill passes, don’t be surprised when Obummer starts gutting the military in subtle and not so subtle ways. He’s already doing it with Medicare and Social Security. This is more about the Dems than it is about the country.

    TRAITORS ALL OF THEM!!!

    There is no shortage of busy signals at the House of Ill Repute switchboard. But now I am confused about being confused:

    I thought I was a bitter clinger, racist and a generally bad person-confusing.

    No, you’re not confused. You’re not imagining things. People are p!ssed off and tying up phone and email at national headquarters. However, I like your turn of phrase better- House of Ill Repute. May I use it?

    I thought I was a bitter clinger, racist and a generally bad person-confusing.

    You know, so did I. I mean, I’ve got a college education but at least a lick of common sense. But, golly, because these blowhards like Obeyme went to an Ivy League school, he and his thugs think they’re smarter than the rest of us.

    Unfortunately “smart” people do stupid things…. all the time. They’re not the authority on what’s right for the country, or the rest of us. It’s time to remind them of that.

    I got to go to the Tea Party yesterday, but unfortunately my friend and I got a “late” start (at 6:30 AM). By the time we got from Central PA, dropped off both of our toddlers at friends’ houses, and made it to the Capitol, most of the crowds were gone. But there were still a lot of people there, and my friend had a really good, logical, not-crazy-sounding interview with the BBC. They said they were hoping to air her on Friday – watch for the tall lady named Linsy with a cute baby in a frog hat. :0) She did a really good job of explaining why Obamacare is Unamerican.
