Those bloody fools! Those bloody, bloody fools! To whom am I referring? The 217 fools in Congress who voted for this bloody of a mess health care bill--plus 1 more, who coerced them over and over and over this past year to do it, and two others who blindly supported him all for their own personal gain and glory! That makes 220. Damn them, damn them, damn them!

At about this point, the famous line shouted out by Charlton Heston from the movie “Planet of the Apes” could be inserted here as well.

Pardon my anger here, but it has been long past due, and there probably has not been enough anger shown about what is being, and has been done to this country right now, after the passing of Obama’s health care bill,and there should be a lot more. After all, our great and wonderful representatives in Washington--both Democrats and Republican--have just sold America, the greatest nation on earth, down the river for a handful of gold.

Yes, the Republicans are included in this, because they should have done more than they did. It was our country that was at stake. If one can remember the MaCarthy era, there was a witch hunt for Communists then, and maybe that was a black eye on this country then, because people were rooted out who had no Communists ties whatsoever, but if there was the remotest link to Communism, they were found suspect.

Today, however, we have known Communists, Marxists, and Fascists holding positions within the highest level of government in the land, and appointed so by our own president, and the Republicans did nothing to stop it.

Well, it is a sad day for Americans, this March 21st, 2010, as our Congress passes the largest piece of legislation we have ever seen. And the Republicans did nothing when the president tacked on yet another massive bill to it at the last minute--the Student Loan Program--which increased the size of the bill even more. Was 2,000 pages in just one bill not large enough?

Yes, they did unify against the health care bill, but what I fault the Republicans with is that despite everything that was being bought out about the Obama administration by the talk shows (most notably, Glenn Beck, and huge thanks to you for all that you did present to the American people) they did not act more aggressively and urgently, given what was truly at stake.

It is not just Republicans, however, that I fault. It is the American people, as well. Yes, the tea partiers did try to stop the flood, but it was not strong enough to do the job.
At least they tried, as the Republicans did. At this point, however, I could almost feel that some good old ’tar and feathering’ would have been good. Storm the halls of Congress, take the most liberal of the Democrats, the Progressives--all of them--and just kick them out and tell them not to return. “There is just no place for you here.” And the Progressives whom Obama has put in as czars over the American people. Dare I say it? Even Obama himself!

But no, we are much too nice in this country. And political correctness has made us much too concerned about offending people.

Well, excuse me yet again, but I am an American, and as I exercise my God-given rights… Oh, excuse me again for mentioning “God” there. Are some that afraid of that word that you would remove it from even *that* phrase. Remove “God” from there, and you will get what you deserve when you do--slavery.

But that is exactly what we have done in this country. We allowed it to happen. Strangely, I do not see it so much a case about religion, but just about God Himself. Can God be separated from religion? I think so. But it does not need to be. Religion does have its place in society, yet at the same time, religion has been the source of many great conflicts within history.

God is perfect. Religions are not. They can be suffocating in their rituals and environment, but God is not, and of Him we do not have to be afraid. He can be seen as nothing more than a good friend to us. In Christ Jesus, we have that. And to acknowledge Him is to acknowledge just the wonder of the world about us, of the universe, all of creation, and He as the life force that created it and holds it altogether.

It does not have to be about worship--at least, worship as one typically might think of it. It is more about realizing the creations of God that we are, as the most truly gifted, wondrous, and beautiful of his creations. It is about upholding the reality of who we are, and having the desire instilled within us to be simply those things America has always been about: to utilize the gifts that have been given to us so we can be the best that we can be, and to help create a better world for all us to live in.

Should that be so frightening a thing? I do not think so, and it should not be something for one to be afraid of. Each to his own. Religions have been playing the “we are right” game for ages. Let them play it. But if we each, individually, could learn to at least acknowledge a Supreme Being of some sort, and the wonderful creations we are (by design, or simply evolved in), and we all focused upon and learned to use our gifts to make things better for ourselves, it would go a long way in making this world lot better.

America was on that path. Yes, we did make one mistake: of losing site of where it was America was heading. We muddied up where it was we were going, what we were accomplishing. But we were making progess, together. Yes, we made mistakes along the way, with slavery. We learned. We corrected it. Is racism still around. Sure, but not like it was. And it was diminishing before Obama got into office.

And now Obama is tearing down everything that we, yes, I will say it--the white man--has put together in this country. We were making progress. It has been slow, but it was getting better. I believe America was ready to make a giant leap forward, too. We were ready for it. Doing so would have made all the change Mr. Obama had promised us he would make.

But my sense is the view Rev. Wright instilled in Obama over 20 years was that the white man needed to be punished for his transgressions, for his greed. That made Obama feel he had to tear the white man’s world down as much as he could, and make it the black man’s turn, for the black man to have a chance to do it there way.

There is a fallacy in his thinking that way, though: it will not change anything. History will only simply repeat itself, as it has always done, about every 200 years. The black man will come into his own, but just as it was with the white man, he will perform similar atrocities.

What Obama needed to do--what we Americans needed to do--was to stop and take an honest accounting of ourselves, and where it is we were heading. We were wallowing in our wealth, and the world was envious of it. We were wasting it, while other parts of the world suffered.

Obama, in his attempt to redistribute the wealth of this nation is looking to force the redistribution, to make everyone “equal”. But that is the wrong way to go about doing it. Let those who have the ability and know-how succeed so they can bring others along and enable them to do the same. That has been the central idea behind capitalism.

It is not that capitalism failed. It is that we lost sight of what it is capitalism was doing for us. We did not know what to do with our wealth. Some did things, but my belief was that America was at a zenith where we could accomplish truly great things and help make this world really a better place for all.

Now the question will be, now that we have lost the health care fight, is there any hope for undoing it all? Pundits would say once we institute a massive entitlement as this is, it is almost impossible to undo it.

My belief is that if the nation finds that we have to undo it, we must. Up until now, entitlements do end up staying. Obama’s health care reforms are different. We have a four year window of opportunity before it becomes too massive to undo. Rather than throw up our hands and give up, America needs to get its mojo back, its can-do attitude, and simply tackle it, while making as easy we can for people in the process.

Up until now, the tea partiers and Republicans have been just fighting against health care, to try to defeat it so health care will not ruin this nation the way that it will. If people have been reluctant to join the fight against it, it is because people still want change. While the Republicans have fought hard against the health care bill, the Republicans have not offered an alternative comprehensive plan for change to challenge Obama. Tea partiers have focused on the health care fight, and concentrating on the 2010 elections to change things in a major way in Congress.

Supporters of Obama will still look to Obama to change things, and entrust him to do the right thing. However, we have seen with Obama that it is not about doing the right thing the right way that is better for all. It is about undoing what America is all about. and “fundamentally transforming” America into something else completely different.


The voters may have put Obama because they wanted change, but what Obama is doing is fundamentally transforming America in ways that disregard the Constitution and laws of this land, and this is something the voters did not bargain for, and Obama should not be doing as President of the United States.

No president of mine would be doing it, and for that reason, you will not see me referring to him as such in my writings, and you will not until I am proven wrong about him.

If Obama had a true and good vision for America, he would be sharing his plans openly with us. But Obama’s way has been one of created crisis, manufactured excuses, lies, orchestrated events, back-room deals, bribes, and ramming through his agenda.

He has played on our fears about how urgently we need to have bills go through Congress, like health care, yet he fails to just allow Congress to simply take its time and put something together that is truly in the interest of the American people, but what he has used to really push health care through is how essential it is to ’save’ his presidency; because health care will be his legacy. He says it is not about him, and he will make sure you know that in his town hall meetings, but his actions with Congress is that it is all about him.

He plays on our sympathies by bringing before Congress and the American people sad examples of how much health care reform is needed. Indeed they are sad, but for his strong push toward health care reform, what has been passed today is a mess of a health care bill.

Obama has sought to minimize what others have shown will be an enormous cost to tax payers when we cannot afford it. All in the interest and urgency of his legacy, he ignores the wisdom of producing a bill would really look to minimize the cost. He seeks to expand government and control not just those greedy insurance companies, but all the American people.

Yet, despite the warnings Republicans have cited about the health care bill, Obama refutes them by saying they do not know what is really in the bill. The Republicans in their meeting with Obama on C-Span, and Bret Baier from Fox News showed us they had more knowledge of what was in the bill than Obama himself. Obama has always been quick to say Republicans have offered him nothing, yet he ignores the good and common sense ideas the Republicans have put forth.

All of it are things that have been done before in Washington many times over, but never has it been done on the scale that Obama is doing it. But if Obama’s agenda was truly good for America, he would not have to resort to any of those tactics listed above.

Americans have tried respecting the office of the president. We have a president, however, who has his own agenda which he does not share the details with openly with the people. He just makes it sound good. This is a president who cannot be trusted.

So, what we will see with health care is that Obama will allow us to see the good aspects of the bill that he wants us to see to make us feel good about what he has done. Because he has his bill passed, he will now get the economy going, focus in on jobs, and get people working so they will like what he has done by the time of the 2010 elections, and moreso by 2012. He will prove us wrong about him so there will be no question about his re-election.

Once he gets past that point, however, things in this nation will change. Be assured of it. Obama’s health care bill is over 2,000 pages long. We have been warned about the kinds of things that are in it. He will lower the boom on those things after he is in a place where we cannot do anything about it.

Democrat Bart Stupak agreed to change his vote to a yes vote on a promise from the president to sign a presidential order preventing federal funds being used for abortions. With four years before the health “benefits” take effect, it gives Obama plenty of time to achieve the rest of his agenda. But if Obama gets booted out of office, and we have a Republican president after 2012, the presidential order could be rescinded, but America will be stuck with having to deal with Obama’s health care reform. Bart Stupak: you were duped! You bloody, bloody fools.

On the outside, Obama may well present a good image that makes people want to trust and believe in him. But as the old adage says, “Looks can be deceiving”, and we have seen Obama’s deceptions.

There is an old movie that people would do well to see: Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. In that movie, Dorian Gray is young man who wishes that, rather than preserving his looks in a painting being done of him, he would rather remain forever young, and see the changes in the painting of him. At first, he notices only minute changes in the painting. By the end of the picture, you see how horrifically the painting echoes the truth of the real person Dorian Gray is within. The DVD back cover says“Perfection on the outside. Murderous corruption on the inside.” Dorian Gray is the kind of person we have in our president.
