Fear and loathing in the USA

Listening to Mark Levin on the radio tonight. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) called in. In 15 minutes, they totaled up about $1 TRILLION in costs for socialized medicine that have been hidden or omitted from the bill. The "unhidden" or perhaps "irrefutable" costs are $940 BILLION. And of course, that's based on the feds collecting a certain level of taxation -- never happen in this climate -- and a bunch of others if's and maybe's.

In addition, two congressmen who are retiring after this term have been promised cushy federal jobs -- if they vote for the socialized medicine bill. Both of them voted "no" previously; both have apparently agreed to vote "yes" this time.

Bundled into the socialized medicine bill is another measure that places all student loans under authority of the federal government. That is, the loans won't be admnistered by banks or anyone else. It will be the federal government who decides who gets the loans and the terms of the loans.

(Why am I hearing that chant in the back of my head from those third-graders... "Barack Huseein Obama....")

BUT.... there is one bank in North Dakota that can continue to process student loans. One bank in the whole country. Paul Ryan wasn't certain what that was all about, but there is only one House Rep from North Dakota. Do ya think maybe the White House is sending him a message?

Paul Ryan concluded about all this, "This is not about health care; it's about ideology."

This is the way Comrade clamps down on US liberty and makes us all slaves of the state.

This is also going to totally bankrupt the USA and put us under the thumb of Red China and other debtors. There is no working or growing our way out of this kind of debt. This is perennial, forever. This destroys the United States as a sovereign nation and binds all citizens to a never-ending and ever-increasing tax burden.

Slavery.

The Republicans, led by Tom Coburn -- Senator from Georgia, I believe. I know he's a doctor -- stated in a press conference today that the Senate will be very closely scrutinizing any deals made, such as those listed above, and the bribes won't be allowed. So those bought-off congressmen will just be useless cast-off whores who sold out their country for nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Benedict Arnolds. He ended up dying in abject poverty in a London hovel.

One thing you can be totally certain of:  If a person sells out, no one will ever trust him again, least of all the people who bought him -- they know him too well. Just something to keep in mind.

Take a deep breath. Pretend you've been on safari or something for the last 18 months or so. Now open your eyes.

Can you believe what the Comrade, Pelosi, and Reid are doing to this country? Can you absolutely believe it?

We're in the middle of a totalitarian take-over. Right in the middle of it.

Germans voted for Hitler, you know. History repeats -- especially among blockheads who refuse to study it and heed its lessons.

The Tea Parties are predictable: upright and concerned American citizens speaking out. The fact that their representatives ignore them and/or are so quick to sell them out is the absolutely shocking and appalling thing. Who are these people and why are we paying their salaries?

Many thanks, by the way, to Mark Levin for preparing a Constitutional law suit to challenge deem-and-pass.

Many thanks also to Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) who refuses to vote "yes" on the bill because the Senate bill has no anti-abortion guarantees and, in fact, promises to fund abortion with public money. Stupak says he and his family are being harrassed constantly. They've had to turn off their telephones. No doubt the SEIU Purple Shirts are getting time-and-a-half.

On top of that, some reps who've been called in for a little talk with the Comrade have reported unofficially that the Comrade is claiming that his entire presidency is at stake with the success or failure of socialized medicine. So it's all about supporting the Comrade, and to hell with the Republic.

Remember rule by law, not by man? Another one bites the dust?

There is no escape from all of this b.s. It's our future. We have an obligation to do something. To act to correct things. I can't write what's on my mind right now. I'd be arrested. Which is really kinda sadly ironic, considering that it's the government that's outside the law these days. But we all have to deal with this reality.

Will say one thing I learned about public relations: Never, ever, corner your opponent. Never leave him without options. If you trap someone in a corner, he has no choice but to attack you.

The White House might consider that.
