After the 9/11 terrorist act, this is the second act of such magnitude and I do think Obama should have traveled to Texas to show compasion and console the soldiers and their families. Sadly, I don’t think that Obama knows what to do or how to act in this case. He needs to grow up fast!

Thank God for President Bush and his wife Laura. What a decent couple!

I will put a link to some pics when I can.

Barack Hussein Obama: Pretender-in-Chief

Believe me, the men and women in our military know the difference!

[Thank you President Bush for once again assuming the mantle of Comforter-in-Chief . . . I'm certain the soldiers at Fort Hood thanked you as well!]

Then I looked at that authentication thingie… poof. Another whiskey’s worth of wordsmithing pixilated past packet-switching probability.

You want a government run by the people? Look no farther than the State of California. All of the important decisions are made by the voters.

People who love America’s founders should remember that the framers of our constitution did not even trust the people sufficiently to allow them to elect their own Senators, and that the electoral college was supposed to put a buffer between the people and the election of their President.

It will be a Monster, produce a wild deficit spike and destroy Health Care availability as well as Private Insurance that survives on a 3% margin. My TRICARE Premiums are going to be increased again and that will affect Retired and Active Duty Military Families that don’t make six figures a year by any stretch.

It is time to stop the BS on this. Period. Reduced Quality of Care, is coming if this is signed into Law. Do the math. Congress has not, neither has the Senate or the Socialists in the White House. They will just print more money, raise taxes and control roughly 1/6th MORE of the Economy. This is Crap and Americans will suffer from this travesty for a generation or so. It takes that long to make useless CRAP like this go away.

Anyone that supports this needs to get off the pipe. This is exactly what happens when Idiots are sent to DC and Fools vote for Bills that they have not read or understand.

Health insurance premiums for small businesses are going up 15% in this year alone, after more than doubling during President Bush’s tenure. Even as benefits are going down and out of pocket costs are going up.

Look at the economy and business environment, right now. You think that the 15% increase wouldn’t be just as much of a job killer as any tax increase? And the increased out of pocket costs won’t be a burden on consumer spending and saving? But tax increases to pay for Medicare (even to make Medicare solvent) would have been less, over the years, than the increases in private insurance premiums plus increases in out of pocket costs would have been.

I think that there are many creative ways to attack the Pelosi health care bill and Obamacare in general. I compliment the FA contributors for their scholarship and diligence in finding flaws in the general Democratic health care initiative. But arguing this on the basis of total cost is the weakest argument which you can make against this bill. It won’t increase total costs (insurance premiums + taxes + out of pocket costs) beyond what they are going to be in the absence of health care reform.

Right you are!

Everyone should own one. That should cut down on their propagation.

Which putz you ask? The chief Marxist living at 1600. He has no respect for the military or the citizenry.

I can’t quite well say “I don’t want this in the public option” if my current insurance company does in good conscience.

HOWEVER, there is a group of people out there who think that “Planned Parenthood” is nothing more than a hidden genocidal movement. And lets face it, it doesn’t look good when you look at Margaret Sanger and the history there.

Now, comes the question – if abortion IS included, how many abortions will be at the hands of “Planned Parenthood” – the people that believe this is a genocide movement will now have the idea that this is government endorsed genocide.

All I will say is – good luck with that when addressing these people and their concerns.

(There is a side issue with Abortion and the legal system I have but that will wait for another thread).

On a related note to the whole mess:
PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail

Also – look at the JCT letter linked from that article:
http://republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov/UploadedFiles/JCTletter110509.pdf

“Some people were killed at Ft. Hood. It sucks, but they’re looking into it. Now, let me talk to you about something really important ….”

Even NBC took a swing at him:
Obama’s Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

“But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks.”

I know this must upset all those who would otherwise say “Oh, it’s FOX, you can’t take them seriously!” This is “one of their own” so this must sting a bit. And none of my liberal friends/co-workers haven’t shot back with their usual responses so …

So, did Zero learn something about “leaping to conclusions” or is it still the same and just not “ok” for anyone else to jump to conclusions.

To wit:

The abortion issue.

Now, virtually all private insurance plans pay for abortion. You buy United Health Care or Aetna or Blue Cross or Humana and pay more in premiums than you get back in health care services and you are directly subsidizing abortions. That’s the reality. The fact is, you are voluntarily doing this: it isn’t some program imposed on you by government. Private insurance pays for most of the abortions which take place in this country. You choose to buy private health insurance (or you accept private health insurance from your employer) and you are directly subsidizing abortions, of your own free choice.

Now, what’s going on now, in the House, is interesting. No guarantee how this is going to turn out. No guarantee that the final bill won’t be changed in Senate/House reconciliation, etc. But, just for the sake of academic argument, let’s say that what seems to be going on now actually ends up being the way the final bill gets signed into law.

In order to get enough votes to pass, Pelosi may be forced to give in to demands from conservative Democrats (no, that’s not entirely an oxymoron) that the final bill puts in a total prohibition against the “public option” plan paying for any abortion services and for government-subsidized private plans paying for any abortion services.

Now, what this would do (stay with me on this) is to force lots of people who would otherwise be covered by private health insurance which pays for abortions into a public plan (or publicly subsidized private plan) which did NOT pay for abortions. Hence, the total number of abortions actually performed would certainly go down (not close to zero and maybe only by 10% or so or whatever, but they would still go down).

In fact, for someone who didn’t want to subsidize abortions with his (or his employer’s, which is the same thing) own money, the only option might be the “public option.”

Wouldn’t that be just a tad bit ironic?
