Socialized medicine EXPOSED

The header is a little misleading. Socialized medicine, for anyone using a little common sense, has already been exposed. Here's all you need to think: medicine, government, nothing good can come from that.
Yes, government-run anything sucks. We know this. It's a truth universally acknowledged. Still, however, the left keeps beating that medicated drum: We Need Socialized Medicine.

Personally, I can't even get my representative to speak to me personally about my tax burden. You really think he wants to hear about my over-rotating hip? Nope. Only my mother will listen to me complain about that.

So, Steven Crowder, yes, that one, decides to show a little 1 + 1 = 2 by going to Canada and seeking some medical assistance. Here's what I wonder: Why hasn't Diane Sawyer done this? Or Katie Couric? Or any number of those highly respected, overly coiffed, big-mouthed journalists performed basic...I don't know....journalism?
Needless to say, they haven't. But Steven Crowder, our favorite Conservative video blogger, will. And did. Very interesting. Enjoy!



PS. No, I'm still on vacation. But I had 20 minutes to spare, stumbled onto this video, and with complete and utter devotion to my readers, took time to post this. I'm all about the giving and receiving of the blog love.

America a Christian Nation. Notice the absence of a question mark.

America wasn't founded on Christian principles. Yep. I can believe that as long as I ignore history. ALL of it.
David Barton, founder of Wallbuilders, was a man my parents introduced to me at an early age. I learned more from one of his 30-minute videos than my entire four years of High School history. And I enjoyed it.
History fun? You know it. Fiction is never better than the truth. And America's history is one of the best stories every written, with love and loss and war and sacrifice and valor and inspiration and pulse-pounding revolution.
Barton spoke this past Sunday at Dr. Charles Stanley's church, giving a brief, very brief, overview of the foundations of our nation, from why a Christian nation is the only way for all religions to be free and how capitalism is the only way for individuals to flourish. And it's all spelled out, uh huh, in the Bible.

I can't embed the video. But here is the link.
I encourage to the point of implore you to watch it. It's 30 minutes long. Break it up and watch pieces of it, if you want. I plan on watching it a few hundred times until I can grasp everything he's saying. Not kidding. I have this kind of time on my hands.
Okay, no I don't. But I'm going to do it anyway.

If the entire country could grasp only the points and facts presented in this well-done, fast-paced presentation, only these points, America would remain the last best hope for freedom. Instead, we're selling our rights off, one at a time, for the idea it makes us a better, more caring, more compassionate, more enlightened individual. When, in actuality, we're being led into economic and cultural slavery with a stupid grin on our face.

Steven Crowder, ladies and gentlemen

My favorite smart-mouthed conservative and yours, Steven Crowder - a 20-something showing the male population how to stand up and speak out. He makes me want to rent Gran Torino all over again.

EPA: uh...yeah...Cap and Trade won't actually work

The EPA are even saying the massive tax bill, Cap and Trade, will have NO impact on climate change. None.

EPA Administrator Jackson confirmed an EPA analysis showing that unilateral U.S. action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would have no effect on climate. Moreover, when presented with an EPA chart depicting that outcome, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he disagreed with EPA’s analysis.

“I believe the central parts of the [EPA] chart are that U.S. action alone will not impact world CO2 levels,” Administrator Jackson said.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) presented the chart to both Jackson and Secretary Chu, which shows that meaningful emissions reductions cannot occur without aggressive action by China, India, and other developing countries. “I am encouraged that Administrator Jackson agrees that unilateral action by the U.S. will be all cost for no climate gain,” Sen. Inhofe said. “With China and India recently issuing statements of defiant opposition to mandatory emissions controls, acting alone through the job-killing Waxman-Markey bill would impose severe economic burdens on American consumers, businesses, and families, all without any impact on climate.”

Without India, China and other developing countries willing to do something, too, the bill does nothing but stifle the American economy. Oh...and China and India? When asked about passing legislation to deal with climate change, they said, "No freakin' way." They are all about growing their economy and making money. And they are smart enough to know climate change is an economy killer. Well...for everyone except Gore.

Gore: Nazis. Climate change. Same thing

The Times of London online are doing their best to cover up the very fat, very rich, very loud mouth of Al Gore. He recently compared the battle of climate change to the battle against the Nazis, which killed more than 6 million Jews. Climate change has killed...hold on...calculating...0.
His ignorant statement, which follows a myriad of other ignorant statements, it getting bleached from the Times of London online. Did someone get a gift certificate for free carbon credits?

Here's the initial header, captured by Deceiver, which ToL didn't get removed from the browser.



Here's the new headline.


When trying to cover tracks, you actually need to cover tracks. But hey, suppressing the news is tough. First you have to get the news. Then you have to edit it. Then you publish it. Then you remove what traces of it you can. Then you clean it up again, removing all references to "Nazi". Then you republish.

They're going to break a sweat.

While Al Gore is talking, EPA is feverish to support him. They are now under investigation for suppressing a report by Alan Carlin, a 30-year employee of EPA. His report questioned the science behind climate change and was then ignored by Obama and the EPA. He says he was then told to top questioning the policy.
Why?
Here's a thought. Cap and Trade. The biggest tax in American history. Major money and control of the American public. And it all hinges on people believing, without question, of man-made climate change.

Don't ask questions! Don't ask for a debate! Don't listen to the other side of the argument! Just accept, believe, and pay the taxes.

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) shares what he will be asking the EPA during the hearing.



Anthony Watts has info from Dr. Roy Spencer about more freakish anomalies, like June 2009 being the coldest in 50 years.

And QandO has pretty charts with pretty colors to demonstrate the truth.

This latest drop in global temperatures means despite his dire warnings, the Earth has cooled .74°F since former Vice President Al Gore released “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006.

Curtsy to Deceiver and Hot Air

Young. Black. And conservative?

Received this today via Glenn Beck's newsletter. So good.

Last week Glenn got a call from a very impressive young man named Jerome Hudson, who told Glenn he had written an op-ed during the 2008 election on being a black conservative. He sent it in and it's fantastic. Enjoy!

While attending a black fraternity party, I recently learned it’s a bad idea to profess one’s affinity for Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity.

Worse, according to current polls, it appears I may be the only black 22 year old in America who will be voting for Sen. John McCain.

It’s not that I was unaware that being a black conservative Republican puts me in the ultimate “minority.” After all, Shelby Steele’s classic article “The Loneliness of the Black Conservative” has become an article of faith that I’ve all but committed to memory.

But I guess I had made the mistake of buying into all that liberal yammering about being “open minded” and supporting “diversity” that I’d deluded myself into believing that a civil, discussion about the herd-like ideological mentality of so many of my contemporaries suffer from was possible.

Boy, was I wrong. Big time!

My official “Negro” card got stripped away. I instantly lost my “blackness.” And now, consequently, I now am greeted with this: “Hey, y’all, here comes The Black Republican.”

And that’s when I think to myself, Hmmm…so this is how it feels to be an "Uncle Tom."

Still, being labeled “The Black Republican” is undoubtedly a promotion from: "Hey, why are you dressed so nice? You got a job interview or something?" Or, worse, “Man, why are you talking like that? You sound white? Who do you think you are? A conservative Kanye West?”

But my path to ideological emancipation began where all the most important things always begin—with my father and mother. Growing up, my Army drill sergeant father was a firm believer in tough love. My parents instilled in us Christian values. But I believe that first part—having an involved mother and father—was critical. With 70% of all black babies being born out-of-wedlock, it’s no wonder black poverty remains entrenched, welfare has become a way of life, and that many of my fellow young black male counterparts choose gangsta life over college.

But it wasn’t until college that I realized I had been ensnared in what John McWhorter calls the “Cult of Victimology.” One of my professor’s pointed me toward a world of literature I’d never been introduced to: Thomas Sowell, John McWhorter, Shelby Steele, Star Parker, Angela McGlowan, Larry Elder, Walter Williams—they obliterated the Leftist foolishness that floods my community.

It was then that my eyes were opened to the truth, a truth that my father was willing to give his life for, a truth that hundreds of thousands of American soldiers have paid the ultimate price to pass on to future generations. And that truth is this: America remains the greatest country that God gave to man.

So imagine me, a member of various organizations that largely consist of young black Americans, most of whom are womb to the tomb Democrats and liberals, speaking openly about the many opportunities and blessings we enjoy in our great nation and refuting Michelle Obama’s supposition that America is a “downright mean place..”

Can you say…..social suicide?

"So Jerome,” the partygoers asked, “you’re REALLY a Republican?!"

I’m a Republican! And your great grandparents were too!

Yes, I’m a member of the Anti-Slavery Party, the party responsible for: the 13 (abolished slavery), 14 (gave former slaves full citizenship rights), the 15th Amendment (gave slaves voting rights), the Civil Rights Act of 1871(protecting southern blacks from the Ku Klux Klan), the Reconstruction Acts, and the 1866, 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964 Civil Rights Acts.

And no, my brothers and sisters, yesterday’s southern Democrats are NOT today’s Republicans! If so, former Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd—the highest ranking senate Democrat and President Pro-Tempore of the Senate—apparently didn’t get the memo and forgot to switch parties.

But it’s more than just the history. I’m proud to stand for self-empowerment, personal responsibility, strong family values, small government, low taxes, free markets, a strong military, and individual achievement etc.

And don’t even get me on which side stands up for the precious 1.4 million unborn children (32% of whom are black), who will be casualties in the war inside the womb. When I see these so-called “black leaders” bashing conservatives for “racist policies,” I wonder how they justify cheering on the political team who proudly defends the annihilation of 13 million black children since 1973.

And conservatives don’t care about black people? I don’t think so!

No, I think I’ll ride with the team who says enough with the welfare cancer that has destroyed people’s innate desire to achieve. Yes, I’ll ride with the folks who respect me enough to consider me their equal and not insult me with Affirmative Action racism. Yeah, I’ll ride with the gang who would rather create effective policies than emotional “feel good” symbolism that robs individuals of their desire to aspire.

So while it may take a little getting used to walking into college parties where I’m known as “The Black Republican,” I now realize I am a newly inducted member of a rich tradition of ideologically emancipated black conservatives. And guess what? I’m more than cool with that. I’m proud, actually.

“The conservative Kanye West”?

Hmmm….

Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Jerome Hudson is a sophomore at Tallahassee Community College with plans to transfer to Florida A&M University in the fall.

Colorado or Bust

Hello rabid Conservatives.

Tomorrow I leave for Colorado and am absent for about 10 days. Yes, I have a house-sitter. He's a big guy, too, so don't even think about messing with my property. I'm a conservative, as is he, which means we're always armed and just itching for someone to give us a reason to shoot.

In preparation to leave, I've been totally swamped and unable to blog. The amount of work you have to complete before going on vacation requires vacation when you're finished. But it will be worth it. And I need some time in thinner air to spend writing.

I may blog while I'm gone. I may not. Since it's my vacation, I get to decide and no one can complain.

Thank you to all of you, little and small, big and tall, who tune in each week to hear my poignant, succinct, and insightful commentary. And for those who sit through my garbled ramblings, too.

I do have a few things I'm wanting to post today. But, oddly enough, my priorities today are grocery shopping and laundry. As I get time, IF I get time, I will be posting today. Then I'll be gone to soon return.

Have a great week, everyone. Stay informed. And should the nation crumble into pieces while I'm gone, I'm heading for an unknown location in the Colorado Mountains, never to be heard from again.

Nah. I'll be back.
