CBC? Are you serious!

It has been awhile since I posted anything because I wanted to take a break from all of the political garbage going on in Washington , but something happened this weekend that I just had to post about.  Apparently during a Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) gathering in Detroit, MI, Representative Maxine Waters asked for permission from those attending to attack President Barack Obama about his unemployment policies.  According to the latest figures, black people have a higher unemployment percentage than any other race.  The CBC is now saying that Obama is not focusing enough on black issues and that he should be instituting programs that help blacks to be employed.

I find this amusing because had a white politician said the same thing within the same context he would have been branded a "racist."  Why can't politicians get out of their pandering to certain groups and focus on the real issue.  The economy is in the tank, unemployment is high, and the only solution Obama wants is to raise taxes and to spend more money that we do not have.  We have been told by black politicians and activists for awhile that criticism of President Obama is basically rooted in underlying racism in our country.  That people who are against Obama are only against him because he is black.  I guess this now means that members of the CBC are now showing their own underlying racism.  Of course this comment is tongue and cheek because how could a black person be racists against a member of their own race.  Now it could be racism since Obama is from more of a mixed ethnicity since his father was black and his mother was white, so a black person could be racist toward that aspect.

IMO, what is happening is a basic failure of the liberal agenda.  First and foremost, Obama is a socialist liberal.  Many of the members of the CBC are socialist liberals.  For them to now be coming out wanting to criticize someone with the same political affiliation just goes to show how out of touch they are with their own beliefs.  Winston Churchill had it right when he said, "We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." The CBC would have you to believe that they are different and that they are seeking the will of their constituents, which is laughable. Right now all they are trying to do is distance themselves from Obama because even among black voters his poll numbers are falling. The independent voters are bailing on him and whether the CBC is willing to admit it or not they also need a significant independent vote turnout in order to stay in office.

The world is not so black and white anymore, there are so many ethnicities and ethnic mixtures that the old racial classifications really are outdated. To continue to hold to a racial political divide is just asking for further alienation of the public. The problem is that these politicians ran on this platform in order to get into office and they just cannot bring themselves to abandon a mindset that elected them at first. IMO, people are tired of hearing how racist the USA is, and that if you do not believe a certain way then you are racist. There are racists out there but I believe that most people are basically accepting of other races until they are taught otherwise.

Health Care Bill, DEMS ARE YOU SERIOUS!

Well yesterday the Republicans in the Senate tried to vote on the repeal of the Healthcare law and as expected it was rejected on a strict party line vote.  Everyone saw this coming.  And of course the Republicans are crowing about the Florida judge's ruling the act unconstitutional, and the Democrats are quoting the rulings form the other two federal judges who have said the act is constitutional.  From what I have read it all seems to come down to an interpretation of the commerce clause of the Constitution.  I thought the definition of "extortion" is forcing someone to pay money so something else will not happen, not "commerce."  Isn't that exactly what the Dems are doing?  You either buy health insurance or we will forcibly take it from you or throw you in jail.  So much for freedom.

One of the biggest things I have a problem with in the Healthcare Bill is the mandate that everyone must purchase insurance.   The Dems are requiring a 25 year old person to buy insurance because according to their logic that 25 year old will eventually need health care.  That 25 year old if he takes care of himself may not have to go to the doctor until they are 50 if they stay healthy.  Most people treat themselves at home for common ailments and only need health insurance for major illnesses.  My current health insurance through my employer costs me $5,600/year, but it costs my employer about $11,000/year. If my employer stopped paying for my insurance and I had to purchase it in the open market a bare bones policy would cost me about $8,400/year.  So the Dems will require someone who owns their own business to fork out over $210,000 for something they may not even use during that time.  And if they don't fork it out they will tax the person or threaten them with imprisonment.  So much for promoting a person's general welfare.

It has been compared to car insurance which in I believe to be an inaccurate comparison.  You do not have to buy car insurance unless you own a car and even then you only have to prove you have insurance when you renew your tag or license.  For this reason it is not an accurate comparison.  The liberals have also said that we are forced to give money to Social Security and Medicaid.  Well I would like for these programs to go away also.  They are the same as the health insurance program.

Many liberals have been spouting off that this is all part of the section for the Constitution that says the Government will provide for the general welfare.  Well that is fine, but where does it say that I must be forced to provide for someone else's general welfare.  Also the term "welfare" means, "the state of doing well or prosperity", or "aid in the form of money or necessities for those in need."  Some would say health insurance is a necessity, but someone can go to the hospital and pay cash for the services without insurance.  If someone is not capable to pay then where does it say that government is then responsible for providing for them. To me that is specific welfare not general.  In the same section regarding general welfare, Article I Section 8, it says that "all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the Unites States."  But Harry Reid violated that section when he agreed to give money to Louisiana in the from of Medicaid for disaster relief.  The Cornhusker Kickback was removed but apparently the Louisiana money was not.  So much for uniformity.

What I also find interesting is that the Healthcare bill does not exempt some religious groups who do not believe in using doctors and by using doctors they are violating a tenet of their faith.  By forcing them to purchase health insurance aren't you also violating the first amendment which says, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."  There is supposedly a religious clause, but how long before that goes to the wayside if revenue does not come in as projected or costs are higher than estimated.

There are so many problems with this bill, and many of them could have been addressed, but the liberal Dems in Congress decided to run rough shod over anyone who opposed them.  For Pelosi to say the only way people would know what was in the bill would be for them to pass it, just shows the level of arrogance the liberals had regarding this bill.  If it was not for my family needs, if I was a business owner with only myself to think of, I would probably make them put me in jail, and then sue the Federal Government for unlawful imprisonment.  Imagine how many news organizations would love to see my story about how I was a hard working tax payer who refused to buy health insurance and was thrown in jail.  The liberals would rather imprison those who differ in opinion from them than listen to their viewpoints.

Liberal Dems!! What a bunch of IDIOTS!!

Yesterday the 112th Congress was sworn in.  It is great to see that a country can have such a peaceful transfer of power from one party to the next.  However, with that said I can not believe how narcissistic one person can be.  Nancy Pelosi has brought about a new low in narcissistic behavior.  This lady is completely clueless.  She has yet to acknowledge that her actions for the past 4 years led directly to her party having the worst election defeat in 62 years.  This woman is so full of herself that she had to grandstand before she could bring herself to hand over the gavel.  And liberals accuse conservatives of being fascists!!!! This woman is so addicted to power, I think if she could have she would have never handed over the gavel, but instead state that the results of the election did not mirror the true will of the people but instead was a conspiracy.  We have heard that argument before from other famous dictators (i.e. Chavez, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, etc.)  When will the liberals realize that the crap that spews from San Francisco, New York City, and Hollywood is not how the majority of Americans think.

Also, Howard Dean.  I can not believe anyone gave this man permission to practice medicine.  But of course, we see how good of a doctor he was since he can not seem to go back doing what he was trained to do.  I truly believe this man will say anything just to get his face on television.  He has now accused the Tea Party movement of being racists.  He says the only reason the Tea Party became involved is because they did not like seeing a black man as President.  This man is clearly delusional and needs to be on some stronger medication.  Just like in any walk of life there are racists in every political affiliation.  There are just as many racists in the Democratic Party as there are in the Republican, Green, Libertarian, and other parties.  For Howard Dean to solely point out the Tea Party movement just shows how pissed the liberals are, in that they were not able to squelch legitimate voices being heard.  Liberals have no desire for free speech, they just want to control speech so that anyone who disagrees with them is silenced.  That is why they are the big supporters of the Fairness Doctrine.  Most people have no desire to hear what they have to say so, they have to implement regulations so people have to listen to what they have to say.  Howard Dean, another liberal waste of air.

And lastly, Rep. Jerrold Nadler is at it again.  This guy just needs to go away.  Another waste of air a decent person could be breathing.  Most people realize that the reading of the Constitution by the incoming Republicans is a gimmick, but this guy needs to understand that he takes an oath of office to uphold the very document that is being read.  For this man to say that the Constitution is not "sacred" clearly shows this man has no clue as to the definition of the word. Sure "sacred" can be used in a religious since, but it also means "secured against violation, infringement, ... as by reverence or sense of right."  For him to say that the Constitution should not be treated as sacred or protected just shows how little respect the man has for the document.  It is probably more apparent that Rep. Nadler believes thats the country should be governed by gut feeling and not be governed by laws.  Yes, the Constitution was not perfect when it was signed, but it has been amended to right some of the wrongs.  This man needs to realize that ultimately he serves the people and not his gut, and that the people expect him to govern within the confines the Constitution established.  "We the people, in order to from a more perfect union, establish justice and insure domestic tranquility.  Provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, insure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution."  Of course this man is associated with the Democratic Socialists of America, which is just a less direct way of saying, "I am a Communist."  We all know what Communists think of our Constitution, seeing how almost all of the dictatorships in the world today are Communist.
