Racism Has A Black Face And Its Name Is Obama!

So, two men try to enter a locked dwelling in the middle of the day. It appears they have no key and are trying to force an entrance to the building. A neighbor or passerby happened to see the men struggling to open the door. Thinking that a burglary might be in progress the witness notified the local police department. A police sergeant responded. After interviewing the witness the police sergeant observed a man standing inside the now open doorway to the residence. The officer approached the man and asked him for identification. The man refused to identify himself, instead responding in racially inflammatory language.
The police officer asked the man inside the house to come outside to speak with him in order to help resolve the problem since the officer had been sent to investigate a suspected home burglary.
The man inside became abusive making racially insulting remarks in reply to the officer’s request.
The situation escalated to a point at which the police sergeant arrested the unruly man who had refused to identify himself or his right to be inside the residence. The arrest for disorderly conduct was made when the man came out of the house shouting demands at the police officer. He was taken into custody after leaving the sanctity of the house. At no time was the police officer rude nor did he use racially abusive language.
A supervisor was summoned and eventually the man was released after it was determined that he was Henry Louis Gates Jr., an African-American scholar and professor, who is a resident of the house in question, and was in fact employed at Harvard University. The professor accused the police officer of racism. You already know this story. You have already heard it on the news and watched the coverage of it on television. You already know that the police officer was a Caucasian and the man arrested was a so-called African-American or Negro and a personal friend of Barack Obama.
The following day during a press conference, Barak Obama was asked for a comment about the incident and replied by saying that the police "acted stupidly" and suggested the police officer owed Gates an apology. At that point, Obama was unaware of all the details of the arrest and criticized the police officer apparently because he is white. This knee-jerk reaction puts great illumination on the racism of Obama’s attitude.
Much in Obama’s writings, speeches and personal affiliations points out the intense feelings he bears against Whites in general and even to those close to him such as his white grandmother. During the election campaign his fealty to and support of Black Liberation Theology and to the chief writers and leaders in the Black superiority movement was made vividly clear. There are many faces which bear the mark of the racial bigot and they are of many colors. And while many Whites ashamedly wear the mark it has come to pass that some blacks, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright, for example, come to mind who never fail to hurl the charge of racism as part of the performance of their professions.
And now the white police sergeant is being drawn to the White House to meet with Obama and Henry Gates so the two of them can educate the poor stupid White officer in how to deal with Black people. The invitation itself already an insult seems to imply that the offer of free beer was sure to attract a White man to this civil slaughter.
The racist is a fascist. The racist demands that everyone bow to his will. The racist insists that he always knows better how everyone else should treat his race. The racist can never see his own prejudice, never account for his own bigotry, never acknowledge the guilt of his own brethren but is always ready to play the race card at the appearance of a television camera. The rest of us, Black and White alike, sit in front of our televison sets or listen to our radios wondering what our Black or White neighbor is thinking. And whether he is thinking of us.
The only good news is that charges of racism have begun to sound hollow, especially when compared alongside the attitudes of the multitude of Blacks in America who recognize the efforts made on both sides of the racial border to smooth out the ripples and to erase the ugliness of the past. Obama only does that when he’s reading his Teleprompter. Take that away and the face of racism becomes clear. It is black and its name is Obama.

Open Letter to Republicans, Independents and Conservatives in the U.S. Congress

It appears that you are not going to give up until you lose the entire show. Your staunch position of wanting to negotiate with the Democrats and the liberals of your own party gives away the weakness of that position and its hopelessness.
Some say, "Health care reform continues to dominate the agenda in Washington – and rightly so. We need a comprehensive approach to ensure Texans and all Americans have access to affordable care. This is one of the most important changes we can make to improve quality of life and it requires a thoughtful, deliberative debate and bi-partisan solutions."
Why does health care require debate and bi-partisan solutions? Why can you not see that it is government interference in health care that is the problem?
Had the government refrained from interfering in the automobile manufacturing business General Motors would not be a government owned company today. If both Bush and Obama has tended to the rightful business of the presidency Chrysler would probably still be an American company today. If Congress had kept out of the corporate welfare business and the political election pay back business the United States would not be facing the most horrendous deficit of its history.
And yet you continue. The House of Representatives recently passed the so-called Cap & Trade legislation which is nothing but an enormous tax on the American people, one which will ultimately destroy our economy thereby delivering it up to the whims of Barack Obama and the Social/Democrat party.
Now you want to mess around with health care. You want to try your untrained hand at delivering health care services. Why? You don’t know what you’re doing. Stop it. Get the House of Representatives back to doing what it should be doing and get it out of the business of medicine before it is too late for all of us.
A recent report said, "A bipartisan approach to this problem is our best bet at meaningful reform. Changes to our health care system will have an enormous impact on every single American, and it is absolutely essential that the reforms we implement are appropriate and properly designed."
Our best bet? I will bet on the doctors, nurses, medical assistants and the privately owned and competitively operated American health care system over Congress any day of the week.
"Absolutely essential? Just as it was absolutely essential that the so-called stimulus bill be passed without reading it? Without knowing where the money was going? Or how much would be spent? And when?
And what exactly do you think appropriate and properly designed means? Members of Congress, most of whom have never run a business of any kind and most of whom have no medical training or experience whatsoever are going to design a health care delivery service?
Stop this insane tinkering with our health. Stop this idiotic tampering with our republic. Stop second guessing us. Stop pandering to the liberal interests of both political parties.
STOP NEGOTIATING! YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE AWAY THE STORE!
Use your best efforts at thwarting the Democrats, not aiding and abetting them. Use your influence to change their vote instead of seeking out how to best allow them to change yours. America does not need its medical services industry changed. It is the finest health care delivery service in the world. The best that has ever existed. And if Congress will leave it alone, it can only get better.
There are matters which should be given the attention of legislators the country over, including you. But so far, you haven’t even looked at them. So far you have only asked yourselves, "How can we cooperate with the man in the White House? How can we show our bi-partisanship?"
How about showing some leadership for a change? How about leaving some hope for America to remain free, independent and productive instead of overseeing its repugnant slide into socialism and tyranny?

Again! It’s The Wrong Damned Argument.

In recent responses to me from my congressional representative regarding the matter of the nationalization of the medical industry by Barack Obama and his forces the following three assumptions were made:

1. "Congress must address these problems in order to provide affordable and accessible health care to all Americans."

2. "The health care delivery system in the United States is in need of reform."

3. "Any health care reform package Congress considers should empower Americans with opportunity and provide Americans the ability to make unencumbered decisions about their course of care. Achieving this positive type of change will only be possible by embracing – in a bipartisan manner – a fundamental rethinking of our health care delivery system – into a system which champions personal ownership and coverage."

All three positions or statements are false.

It is not true that Congress must address these problems in order to provide affordable and accessible health care to all Americans.

Neither is it true that the health care delivery system in the United States is in need of reform.

Nor is there any veracity or factual content in stating that a "...positive type of change will only be possible by embracing - in a bipartisan manner - a fundamental rethinking of our health care delivery system . . ." presumably by the Congress.

These are the wrong arguments. The United States has the finest medical care system in the entire world. Our doctors, our hospitals, our pharmaceutical companies, our design engineers and equipment innovators, our nurses and administrative staffs are the best there is anywhere. People come from all over the world to be treated in the United States.

We may have a pricing problem. But it was not brought about by the medical practitioners. It was not brought about by any failure of government to intervene in the very private matter of personal health issues.

There are persons and organizations who bear the responsibility of the current state of medical costs. And the U.S. government leads the list of offenders by not keeping its nose out of a matter which should and must be left in the hands of the people acting privately in their own best interests. It is no business of government to regulate medicine, to operate hospitals, to employ and supervise doctors and nurses or to set and maintain prices for medical services, supplies, facilities or equipment.

The vote in the U.S. House of Representatives should be Nay to any government control of the nation’s health care delivery services. The vote should be against any interference by government in the rendering of medical care to the nation’s citizens. And members of the House of Representatives should acknowledge their absence of powers in this respect and cease and desist from passing laws regulating, interfering with, appropriating funds for or nationalizing hospitals, clinics, ambulance services, laboratories, factories and any other portion or element of the health care sector of our country and vote accordingly.

In my letter to my congressional representative I said, "I have not proposed solutions because we face no medical problem to solve. When you are prepared to discuss the real problems and effective solutions to those problems, please let me know. I will be glad to discuss them with you. In the meantime, know that you are using the wrong argument. As long as you do so, you are destined to lose. Pay attention. The problem is financial and political not medical."

Nationalized health care is but another of Obama’s tools in taking over the United States of America for his own ill-conceived plans and faulty solutions designed to take America in the direction which best suits his personal desires and needs. "Tell Speaker Pelosi that America belongs to the citizens. It is not her private toy."

The problem in the U.S. Senate is different only in the names of its players and the margin of power held by the Democrat party. Reid replaces Pelosi and they have a narrower margin of power. Otherwise, the two houses are very similar in the fealty they show to Obama and the dedication they exhibit in carrying out his orders and/or fulfilling his wishes, as the case may be.

My Senators, too, argue the same falacious arguments. They say that it is about how much money will be spent on medical care. They seem oblivious to the fact that we don’t need a government take-over of the delivery of medical services in America. They seem unaware that it is as Nancy Reagan used to tell us about illegal drug use. She said, "Just say no." That is what the senators should be saying to Senate Majority Leader Reid and to Barak Obama. "Just say no."

Say no, to any government take over of health care and medical delivery services in the United States for the simple reason that it is not within their grant of powers to so act. Add to that the ever growing list of reasons why such a program borders on stupidity as anyone unselfish enough to look at the overall problem can easily see, and you have great reason to say NO.

Where are the problems? Take a look at the courts. Take a look at the myriad of entitlement programs in place. Take a look at the immigration problem along with its offspring, chain migration. Take a look at the Trial Lawyers Association and the burgeoning load of liability law suits designed primarily for the purpose of enriching lawyers. Take a look at the silliness of the Class Action Lawsuit program. Who gets served? Who gets enriched? Follow the money and you will find that it is not the doctors or the hospitals or even pharmaceutical and equipment manufacturers which start the runup of prices. The genesis of the problem lies in the greedy desires of individuals and their attorneys who make it almost impossible for a doctor to practice medicine in the United States for the fear of losing everything the doctor has earned to the clap of a judge’s gavel and the pronouncement of a jury awarding money damages.

And that is not the bottom of the well. Our legal system changed when lawyers were allowed to advertise for clients. It changed when lawyers were allowed to illegally finance their clients’ lawsuits. It changed for the worse when filing a lawsuit against one’s neighbor became not only financially rewarding but fashionable as well.

Most modern problems in America stem from some foolish action on the part of government. Last fall we were told there was an imminent financial disaster that would wipe out our savings and place all of us on the unemployment rolls. It was said that government must act. Many of us screamed NO, that what was needed was for the government to do nothing. For government to stay out of it.

Well the government didn’t stay out of it. They acted. And then acted again and again. Now millions of us have lost our savings and millions of us have been moved to the unemployment rolls. Now with millions poorer and millions out of work – with most of our former greatness in manufacturing prowess shipped overseas – with the U.S. federal government now owning the greatest automobile manufacturing company in history, with a foreign nation owning one of oldest and most respected car makers – the government now wants to take over health care.

And what are our law makers talking about? Not whether the government should run the health care delivery system, but how they should run it. Again! It’s The Wrong Damned Argument.

You remember when the national argument was about Bill Clinton having oral sex with a young female intern in the oval Office? Well, it wasn’t about sex. If it had only been about sex, most men, especially young men, would have congratulated the president and clapped each other on the back shouting, "Way to go, Bill!" Getting the ‘o’ in the Big "O" would have merited re-election. The argument was about perjury and obstruction of justice. It was about Slick Willy lying under oath and blocking a special prosecutor in his investigation and enforcement of the law.

And then when George W. Bush was president we were told constantly that the national argument was about the need for immigration reform and poor people putting food on the table when in fact the argument was about mass amnesty for millions of foreign nationals who had invaded our country and were living here illegally. It was and still is an argument about Democrats, RINOs and other liberals raking up another twenty million votes for the future.

We were then told that the banks were broke and the automobile manufacturers were facing bankruptcy. The argument became one of whether the government should let them go under or bail them out immediately and let them file for bankruptcy later on. It wasn’t about the banks or the auto companies going broke. It was about the government nationalizing the financial institutions of the nation and the last remaining vestiges of our great industrial prowess.

And now, we argue on television, on radio, on the internet and in person about national health care. Once again, that’s the wrong argument. The national argument should now be about Barack Obama usurping the power of the states and of the people in order to take complete control of our lives, our property and our very souls in the name of the immediate need for national government provided health care for everyone. Arguing about health insurance is a waste of time. It’s like arguing about how many people don’t have Cadillacs and have to rely on a crummy little Chevrolet to get around.

Once again it is the wrong argument yet we waste most of our time talking it to death. And of course the goal is to make all of us so sick of the discussion that we will accept the brain washing and support Obama in his last drive to become the permanent leader of what used to be the United States of America.

First of all, it is not about health care. It is about government provided health care. It is not about health insurance. It is about government provided health insurance. It is not about 40 million Americans who do not have adequate health insurance. It is about adding those not now covered by Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Hospital provided medical services and those who simply don’t want to buy health insurance for whatever reason. Maybe they have just lost one job and will be getting another, at which time their medical will either transfer or start with a new company. Maybe they are just healthy and don’t want to waste the money on an insurance policy since their current medical expenses are comfortably manageable without it. Maybe they are just rich and want to pay their own way. It is about forcing Americans into a health care system most don't want and few will benefit from.

Whatever it is, the argument should be about stopping the government from shoving an unwanted, irresponsible, overly expensive change in the way we pay for medical services down our throats. Maybe it is just an argument about whether Americans are ready for utter tyranny and a dictator who talks as though America is already his own private property.
