Krauthammer on Loughner

"Dhimmitude"

Did you know that Sharia law has been codified into United States Federal Law? Yes. Our President, along with Democrats - drunk on power & partisan pride - signed & secured it 6 months ago.

“What?!” you screech. “No way!”
“Yes…As sure as I live & breathe.”

There's a thing called “Dhimmitude,” & it’s buried deep in the bowels of Obamacare, like a tapeworm, preparing to mercilessly sap our society of its wealth, & render us into servitude of Islam.

You see, ObamaCare exempts Muslims (& other small, obscure groups) from purchasing mandatory health insurance, as well as the penalties for not purchasing it – due to ‘religious convictions.’ These groups will, however, enjoy the benefits of free health care.

Don’t believe me? Check out section 1402 (g)(1) of this behemoth bill. Even the left-leaning Snopes.com won't dispel the 'rumor.' (Curtsy to Jim for reminding me to source my claims.)

Now.

We must understand the context of the nature of my claim…

Consider the following:
"Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence, AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to islam.

The ObamaCare bill is the establishment of 'Dhimmitude' and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States. Muslims are exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured.

Islam considers insurance to be 'gambling,' 'risk-taking' and 'usury' and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this. How convenient.

So I, Joe/Jane Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax.

Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan [Nidal Hasan , and Feisal Abdul Rauf & his Ground Zero Mosque adherents] will have no such penalty, and will have 100% of health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. Period.

This is Dhimmitude.

Dhimmitude serves two purposes: it enriches the Muslim masters AND serves to drive conversions to Islam. In this case, the incentive to convert to Islam will be taken up by those in the inner-cities as well as the godless Generation X, Y and Z types who have no moral anchor. If you don't believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to sell Him for 30 pieces of silver. 'Sure, I'll be a Muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes. Where do I sign, bro?' "

This.
Is.
Serious.

(When Speaker Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill in order to see what’s in it,” she wasn’t kidding.)

Makes me wonder, "How many other ruthless, invisible tapeworms are infecting my beloved country?"

Heaven, help us.

Furious NC Parent Blasts Senator Over Health Care

Remember the phrase 'Must see TV'?

This time it's "MUST view Youtube"??

NC Freshman Senator Kay Hagan made a stop in Kernersville for "Conversations with Kay" about issues that affect Seniors. The following 'Confrontation with Kay' was taped & aired (edited, of course) on our local 6:00 news. Here's the unedited exchange for your enjoyment:

(In case the video doesn't play, click the 'watch on youtube' link, or click here.)

I'm so PROUD of this mother!

I'm proud to say she's from my County (would go hug her if I knew who/where she was); proud of her tenacity, her courage, her 'verve'. And then there's this clash w/ Kay Hagan...

THIS is what heroes are made of: parents taking care of their children, doing whatever it takes to do the right thing, standing up to Big Government, getting their voices heard, & letting them know (in very certain terms) that they will NOT have our vote - ever!

Did I say we need more heroes?? Yes, & we need more like her.

God bless America!

Greece: Time to wean? Prepare for scream...

Hi friends ~
I've just come from Z's blog where there's a lively discussion, part of which is an argument (btwn. Frogburger & Ducky) about the cause of unemployment in Europe. And still another weave of the thread sports this bit about terrorism perpetrated by (guess who) 'Muslim youth' in suburban Paris - nightly car burnings, muggings, etc. Just garden variety crime; no harm, no foul... Hardly worth reporting, right?

Hardly.

My logic tells me there must be some correlation between European unemployment, civil unrest & Socialism (& maybe toss in a little terrorism, just for kicks?). As I see it, European-style Socialism has primed those pumps for decades (providing various social programs -look Ma, free health care!) and paved the way to this civil unrest.

I don't claim to be an especially business-headed thinker, but seems to me that governments who give People everything they need are CREATING their own cesspool of civil chaos. When a People is disincentivized toward striving for a better life: don't bother working, you'll still have everything you need (didn't Queen Pelosi say this recently?). Pursue your long-held passions! Don't worry about being productive. But should you choose to work and be productive...well, sorry. We'll swipe your wealth & spread it around. (Everybody's gotta eat, right?)

Sooner or later something's gonna give way: the Government cannot "sustain" that kind of behavior for long with other people's money. And then, everybody's gonna get @#$$%!, the 'haves' & the 'swiped-froms.' This is why Socialism is bad, bad, bad folks. It goes against the grain of our human need for being productive, and it ultimately sucks the life out of it's victims until there's no drive, productivity, fulfillment, jobs & no money left.

Don't believe me?

NEWS FLASH from Greece: from Investors.com
"Policy Failure: Greece was told that if it wanted a bailout, it needed to consider privatizing its government health care system. So tell us again why the U.S. is following Europe's welfare state model.

The requirement... is a tacit admission that national health care programs are unsustainable. Along with transportation and energy, the bailout group...wants the Greek government to remove 'the state from the marketplace in crucial sectors.'

This is not some cranky or politically motivated demand. It is a condition based on the ugly reality of government medicine. The Times reports that economists — not right-wingers opposed to health care who want to blow up Times Square — say liberalizing 'the health care industry would help bring down prices in these areas, which are among the highest in Europe.'

Of course most of the media have been largely silent about the health care privatization measure for Greece, as it conflicts with their universal, single-payer health care narrative."

And we ALL know what's happening in Greece right now over the 'austerity programs' (read: drastic cuts in bloated, treasury-sucking social programs). It only stood to reason, though...Attach a People to the government breast & nurse it for decades, sooner or later it'll be time to wean. And then the People are gonna screech like that squalling baby in the night who has been given a sippie cup instead of the breast. Only they'll be a lot bigger. And instead of cups they'll be heaving cocktails - molotav variety.

I quote again from the investor's.com article: "So tell us again why the U.S. is following Europe's welfare state model."

Well??

Reasonable question. No need for an indepth analysis of Entity Life History or Maximum Cardinality. Maybe I'm a business-headed thinker after all?

Nah, just plain old common sense.

No Public Option? No problem!

No public option? No problem...Have we got a plan for you!

Blogs who oppose Gov't interference in our lives have gentle readers who repeatedly, earnestly insist that Obamacare is not socialized healthcare, because there is no 'public option.' Our readers are deluded enough to believe that simply stating a thing, wishing it were true would make it so.

I say poppycock! I say that Obamacare, though it has no overt 'public option,' is specifically designed to -in time- leave NO OTHER OPTION BUT the public option.

And here's why, directly from a dear CPA friend of ours who emailed with his grave concerns about this ghastly new law:

My wife's firm consults with an independent economic analyst out of state. Her firm met with these analysts to tease throught the new healthcare law. What they said is scary.

(Sus & Mr. Sus, this truly is an objective group of analysts - many times their analysis indicates democrat's proposals are indeed good for the economy. That ticks me off b/c the group has a solid history of prognosticating the effect of legislation on the economy. I never want to admit that the Dems could be right on something. Just trying to be honest...)

Anyway, based on their analysis, this law virtually ensures an eventual total government takeover of healthcare.

Don't believe it?

Consider any family who currently has private health insurance:

The employer pays $8,000/year of their insurance costs. The employee pays $6,000, for a total of $14,000 of "insurance."

#1 - Eventually, employers will figure they save $6,000/year by dropping employee health coverage & paying the $2,000/person Gov't fine. (The best argument against #1 is that status quo is 'slow to change,' but slow does not equal never. Another argument is that employers will continue offering good insurance to keep good employees. But honestly, where is the Wal-Mart employee going for better benefits? For professional firms, when the first big firm decides to drop insurance - and they will, b/c they profit $6,000/person per year- then the rest must follow to stay competitive.)

#2 - Next, employers will convince employees that dropping insurance is okay.

How, you ask, does the company sell it as o.k.? Ahem, allow me:

Employer: We're dropping health insurance, but it's really okay.
Employee: What the heck?? I'm going somewhere else to work!
Employer: Not so fast. Just listen. We pay $8000/yr for your benefits. What'dya say we drop those, pay $2000 Gov't fine.
Employee: Okay, so far you've saved yourself $6000 at my expense.
Employer: Hold on; I'm not finished. The company will take $4,000 of the savings & give you $2,000!
Employee: Wow! I just got a raise! Wait...$2000 won't cover the cost of privately purchased health insurance...
Employer: Okay, but remember, you were already paying $6,000 in premiums. So you can
a) add the $2000 & find insurance for $8,000 a year. Or - better yet -
b) Take $2,000 & pay the Govt. $695 penalty for lack of insurance. Then
c) Use the $6,000 that you were paying in premiums (plus what you paid in co-pays, etc.) to cover medical visits & Rx's.
Employee: Oh, I see. I still might come out ahead, huh?
Employer: You bet! In most years, you will come out ahead - way ahead! And in the years when someone gets sick, gee, let's see - you just go get insurance. Insurance companies have to take you now whenever you want to sign up!
Employee: You gotta deal, boss! I sure am glad we're not running an insurance company! We'd be in a heap 'a trouble!
Employer: You said it. I'm happy to be in the flower pot business!

#3 - Where does that leave the country? With all the insurance companies bankrupt, so everyone will HAVE to go to the Government for insurance. Which is what the @#$%'s were after to begin with.

And you'll never convince me otherwise.

And don't EVEN get me started on the taxes.

So you see, when I make a statement like: 'Obamacare is specifically designed to - in time - leave no other option but the public option,' it's based on solid, reasoned, professional, objective financial analysis. Our dear readers who insist otherwise have only their own f00t stamping insistence & ignorance of facts that are as plain as the nose on their face.

Prelude to a Revolution

They say History repeats itself...

THIS DAY March 22, 1765 the British Parliment passed the Stamp Act, imposing an oppressive, direct tax against the American Colonies. They did it to offset the costs of the military endeavor of the King in the colonies.

Wicked offense was taken by the colonists, that taxation from the Crown was directly imposed on the people - not in order to simply provide a loose regulatory structure for commerce - but to raise money for the Crown, for something the People didn't want, didn't need, & certainly did not wish to pay for.

Some colonists fell to despair, believing that they had no recourse. But by May 30th of the same year, 4 of Patrick Henry's Stamp Act Resolutions were passed:

1) Demanding their rights as citizens be preserved, and
2) Insisting the people's voices against oppressive taxation be heard & acknowledged, lest their 'ancient constitution' be obliterated.

This courageous 'sedition' led to the Stamp Act's repeal on March 18th, 1766, less than a year later.

Oppression must seek the bursting of Springtime. And it can be fought. And it can be defeated. Will we cower & fall into despair, as some colonists did? Thank God they didn't. And thank God we have their same fighting spirit within us. Will we remember? Will we call upon it?

If not now, never.

We are in this place 'for such a time as this.'

Do not discount your efforts.

This is our time.

It is our imperative, toward our posterity.

We have received our calling.

Join me.

We've been - I'm sorry - Screwed.

God in heaven, help us. God help us.

219 Democrats in the House of Representatives just passed Obamacare. 219 Democrats took it upon themselves to change the fabric of my country - against the will of 200 Million American citizens; a change that involves 1/6 of our nation's economy, a change that inserts the Government into the most private, personal, intimate areas of our lives, a change that begins the washing away of our Republic & the ushering in of Marxism. (And don't kid yourselves, for that's EXACTLY what this does.)

Mark my words. Next on the list (in the name of tolerance, of course): Sharia law. It'll come incrementally, tiptoe-ing through our courts. It'll slither up beside us (Terror trials in civilian courts? Gitmo transfers? Honor killings, anyone? Anyone??) & before we know it, it'll be another entitlement, as our country slides further into the abyss. God help us.

Found this video @ Joe's blog. Take a moment to watch - this guy expresses my sentiments, & maybe yours. (Sorry: technical difficulty; could only get code for link, not video.)

Have we awoken from our complacent slumber yet, my friends?

Don't tread on me.

I've never witnessed such a yellow, flaccid, impotent group of people in my life. They don't deserve to wear the flag that undoubtedly rests on the label of their hand-tailored suits.

Got out my cellphone today & called the list of Congressional Dems. from 3-13's post (please see below). It took only 15 minutes. Got several busy signals, several 'mailbox full' messages & managed to get through to about 8. I'm calling until they've all heard from me.

Go to Twitter & run a search for #killthebill to see what people are saying. There are reports of people shouting outside of Congressional offices "Kill the bill! Kill the bill!" (You'd think we were still in the Clinton Administration. But no, this is FAR more serious.)

Health Care 'Reform' Not increase deficit?

Happy New Year friends!!

I have friend named Jim who insists that ObamaCare will NOT increase the Federal Deficit, that it will NOT cause people to lose their current health care plans, that it will NOT impact national debt...

I have, alternately, insisted that it will. (How could it not?) You can check out our discussion in this comment section if you're into details, specifics; if you enjoy the minutia of the issue.

If you're like me, you enjoy details, but every so often one must take a step back & see the 'forest for the trees.' I've written before about Charles Krauthammer's brilliance; how he displays his nimble intellect every time he opens his mouth. And, true to form, Dr. K again shows us how to step back & see that there is, in fact, a forest among the tedium of trees.

Watch & learn, friends. Watch & learn (you too, Jim):



And if this isn't enough - or recent enough - take a look @ this article. Here are some quotes, just in case you're in a hurry...

"Republicans, emboldened by a new letter from the Congressional Budget Office, accused Democrats on Wednesday of 'Bernie Madoff accounting' for double counting the savings from Medicare as a means to pay for the Senate health care bill."

"The real score on this legislation is that it would cause the deficit to increase, and not be a surplus as the president has promised," Sessions told Fox News. "And a lot members of our Congress have said I won't vote for this bill unless it's deficit neutral. It's not deficit neutral. It will add to the debt. That's clear today."

"To describe the full amount of HI trust fund savings as both improving the government's ability to pay future Medicare benefits and financing new spending outside of Medicare would essentially double-count a large share of those savings and thus overstate the improvement in the government's fiscal position."

"Either you've weakened the Medicare substantially or you're going to have no money to spend on the new program that's being created," he said. "You cannot spend this money twice."

"Bernie Madoff accounting..."

"Bernie Madoff accounting..."

"Bernie Madoff accounting..."

Me? I'm not sure how it could be any more clear...You?

Bedazzle them with Brilliance

My last post was lifted directly from an Americans for Prosperity letter, & provided links for contacting Congress . Today, I'm lifting a post directly from a friend's such letter to our very own Freshman Senator, Kay Hagan (D - NC). Our friend tells it like it is, & makes no apologies for his position:

Dear Senator Hagan:

"...If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS. This is especially true if you think that the general populace are idiots. All of this is straight from the DNC playbook. I hope you enjoy your time in DC; because until your office begins to understand that NC hasn't changed it's conservative, RED State views and your votes continue to be aligned with the DNC, Reid and his lackeys; your position will pass as quickly as Edwards did. You represent all of NC. Not the DNC that paid for your election.

I will make one last plea, STOP SPENDING MY CHILD'S FUTURE. I need nothing form the the Federal Government except to be left alone and a military to protect our borders. I will raise my child to do the same. This is nothing new for me or the generations before me. We stand on our own ability. What does this say about your office and the rest of the DNC that are trying to convince us that we need protecting? Not much really. I'm just preparing for the future that you are helping to create. A future that is sold out to China and everyone else that we have become indebted to. Good luck with that "change thing" that you have going on.

God help us, because you surely aren't.

Sincerely,
Concerned NC citizen


Bravo, friend! Our 'legislators' must hear from ALL of us in this manner - honest & straightforward; to the point.

STOP ObamaCare! Act NOW!

Hi Friends,
Got this very important email today from Americans for Prosperity. They list concrete actions we can take against ObamaCare. PLEASE READ & take the few minutes involved in ACTION! It's now or never, folks!

Dear Susannah,

At 1:00 a.m. today, literally in the dead of night, the United States Senate on a straight party line voted to move closer to the health care takeover.

60 Democrats voted YES and 40 Republicans voted NO.

In my 25 years in the political arena I thought I had seen it all for political pay-offs, crass deal cutting, and bare-knuckle threats. But, Majority Leader Reid, and sadly, even President Obama reached a new low. To avoid the blizzard of calls from their constituents, folks like you and me, most Democrat Senators actually turned off their phones as they prepared for the dead of night vote on Monday morning.

A couple of examples:

*Senator Ben Nelson got an unprecedented deal to force federal taxpayers to pick up 100% of the cost of Nebraska's Medicaid expansion--forever.

*Connecticut's Senator, Christopher Dodd, got a $100 million earmark for a hospital at the University of Connecticut.

*Vermont Senators Pat Leahy and Bernie Sanders, who had been threatening to oppose the bill from the Left, got an extra $250 million in Medicaid funding.

*In Florida, Senator Bill Nelson got three counties carved out of Medicare Advantage cuts that will happen everywhere else in the country.

*Of course we know about the "Louisiana Purchase" where Reid and Obama paid $300 million of our taxpayer dollars to the pet projects of Senator Landrieu to secure her vote.

Yes, this is frustrating. Yes, we lost a round in the Senate and it was a tough one.

But, we cannot give up the fight. And, we're not. After Senator Nelson's cave-in on Saturday, Americans for Prosperity sponsored a rally yesterday with one day's notice in Omaha, which Mike Huckabee flew out to headline. On the last Sunday afternoon before Christmas, the press reported that over 1,800 fired-up grassroots activists showed up to tell Senator Nelson what they thought of his sellout! CLICK HERE FOR PICTURES AND STORIES.

In Virginia, where Senator Jim Webb was a key swing vote, we held a state tele-town hall call with Congressman Frank Wolf on Saturday and over 10,000 people joined the call with a full 5,000 of those folks staying on for extended periods of time. We asked people to go to TellWebbNO.com and send an email or make a call to Senator Webb and thousands did just that. He was the last Democrat to publicly announce his support for the bill, around 9:00 p.m. last night, and we will hold him accountable for caving.

Here are the next steps on the Congressional front:

The second big vote to end debate on the health care takeover bill will occur around 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

If Reid and Obama hold all 60 of their votes, then there will be one more cloture vote (to end debate) Wednesday evening and a final vote on passage of the bill sometime on Thursday.

After that, the House and Senate would have to hold a conference to work through the considerable differences in the House and Senate versions of the legislation.

Then, the health care takeover would have to pass both chambers again. That final battle would most likely take place in early January.

It's the Holiday Season. And we've been in a long hard fight. You've done so much. Sacrificed a lot. But, I'm asking you to do two last things before these final Senate votes.

1. CLICK HERE TO Contact your Senators one more time to tell them you are fully aware of all the pork-barrel earmarks, vote buying and political corruption in this health care bill. And, that you want them to reject this kind of politics and vote NO. If your Senators are Republicans, THANK THEM for voting against this bill this morning.

2. Take a moment to email your friends/family list. YOU CAN USE THIS LINK to ask them to take action by contacting their Senators today. If we can show a frenzy of activity now -- just a few days before Christmas -- that will send a powerful message.

We're winning with the American public. Every poll shows that. This political class in Washington knows that and so they are desperately trying to get this thing done now using the Holiday Season and the dark of night as cover. Let's not let them get away with it.

One last thing. I want to hear directly from you -- in your own words -- why you're fighting this health care fight as a grassroots activist. Please email healthcare@afp-mail.com and just tell me in a few words why you're involved. I think it will be encouraging and helpful for folks around the country to hear the reasons why Americans like you are doing what you are doing.

We'll post a sampling of your words -- without using your full name -- in the next few days. In the meantime, let's keep fighting.
