Only 45 Words Long, What's the Big Deal?

Though only 45 words long, the First Amendment broadly protects religious liberty, free speech, a free press, and the right to hold protests and complain to the government. Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable.

The proposed "Fairness Doctrine" in radio broadcasting is an attack on every citizen on both sides of the aisle and to all political parties. This will affect everyone, not just one side. Alan Combs, a well known liberal talk show host, said about it, "Better be careful for what you wish for." We need a bi-partisan call for the "Broadcaster Freedom Act" to be enacted. It permanently bans the "Fairness Doctrine". Groups like Media Research Center, UnfairAir.org and DontTouchMyDial.com are organizations that can give you more information.

A recent University of Connecticut study found that 45 percent of high-schoolers believe the First Amendment goes too far in protecting such rights as freedom of speech and the press. Do you think these kids are getting any U.S. history or U.S. government classes to appreciate what democracy is all about? Take a look at school books today and you see a lot of diversity and little national pride taught.

I was watching C-Span this morning and caught the tail end of an interview with Brian Jennings about his new book. I have seen it at the bookstores prominently displayed and it intrigued me. Below is a brief bio of who Jennings is and about his book.

This week veteran Talk radio programmer Brian Jennings is returning to broadcasting’s front lines to head up programming for a trio of Portland, Oregon radio stations. Brian Jennings has enjoyed success and national notoriety as the author of the bestselling book, Censorship: The Threat To Silence Talk Radio.

According to Jennings' interview, Obama is not going to the voters head-on and will attempt an end-play to get his "Fairness Doctrine" implemented. So, Obama has honed his peculiar skill of perception or discernment of appreciating and doing what is required by circumstances. He is the consummate chess player who recognizes patterns, memorizes them and uses them to put his opponent's King in check before the game begins.

The "Fairness Doctrine", through its implementation of Local Programming Advisory Boards, officials will mandate to the broadcasting stations what is appropriate programming. The details were not clear whether those board members were elected or appointed. Hmn... Obama has won before you moved your first piece. As Obama said, "Check, Check-Mate!"

The Object of My Affection

George Clooney, Sr., a columnist of the Cincinnati Post, father of George Clooney Jr., is a paid announcer for the liberal National Public Broadcasting Channel to solicit new donations for more private taxpayer funds for the Federally funded television stations with an obvious Left Wing bias .

Tonight, George Sr. sang during a "station Break" to the tune of "The object of my affection can change my complexion from white to rosy red anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine" by Pinky Tomlin. I had to really, really laugh out loud! George had NO clue that he had teamed up with an ultra- conservative Republican! How rich is that?

I knew that musical composer and was present in his home down the street from mine in Westwood Hills, CA when Pinky Tomlin, an ardent Republican, allowed my mother to rewrite his lyrics to use them in the Nixon for Governor race in California in 1962 . I personally sat in Pinky Tomlin's living room as he strummed on his guitar and sang the lyrics.

Pinky sang, " You are the object of my affection when you can change the state's complexion from Brown (Democrat Governor Edmond G. "Pat" Brown, Sr.) to crystal clear, you don't need the "New Frontier" (Referring to JKF's New Frontier Campaign) , Dick Nixon is just fine." Obviously, this is many years ahead and before the Watergate scandals, but others were still on the horizon too. (Hello?, "I did not not have sex with that women.") LOL!

Times haven't changed over the last 46 years, just the names, Hello?, Barrack Hussein Obama!

King Obama Rx for Health-Care Bill

After Labor day, Senate leaders will review their options including a 60% chance to use the split-bill tactic. Democrats also have intraparty differences. Liberals call it a "public option", the White House calls it a "preferred option" and the Finance Committee calls it a "bad idea". Whatever it is called, there will be little, if any, Republican support.

Showing wisdom like King Solomon, Obama's Rx is to "cut the bill in two" and proceed under the reconciliation process that lets legislation pass with a filibuster-proof 51 votes.

And now, in Obama's own political world, here will come Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, with the official spin to this story, "In what is surely a tribute for Obama's bold decision, voters will reward Obama with reelection as he rules "with wisdom and discernment in great measure, with understanding as vast as the sands of the seashore" and that quote comes right out of the Bible, so you can really believe it!"

So, the Judgment of Solomon, it turns out, should be held up not as a paradigm of splitting the difference but of using political maneuvering to flush out posturing and do what's right. If that happens, then the term can be used in the sense of its dictionary definition—"showing wisdom or discernment." But until then, we shouldn't dress up Obama's compromise as the Judgment of Solomon when, in the end, it's just politics as usual, again.

Federal Health Plans - Pride goes before a fall...

The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of hubris. Hubris denotes a person's overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge and often implies that suffering or punishment will follow them. It is the perfect plot for an ancient Greek tragedy....or could that happen now?

The interesting syllogy above forms deductive reasoning consisting of a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion; for example, Pride goes before the fall, the major premise, Obama boasts Hubris, the minor premise, therefore, Obama will fall, the conclusion.

With hubris, Obama promises his cure-all remedies of the "Public Option Plan" choice for patients who are now currently insured can keep their private plans. Obama now brags up the "Socialized Federal Health National Co-Op Plan" choice as the alternative panacea for all of those forgotten "Pre-existing conditions" patients and "Uninsured" patients.

What Obama does not explain to these sub-par inferior patients is that they are about to be thrown away into the National Insurance Industry's dumping grounds. The quality of this new "Socialized Federal Health National Co-Op Plan" is set much lower with single payer rates for all their services. This means less doctor services, less medicine dispensed, less diagnostic tests done and less medical procedures performed. Well, how else can Obama pay for these new patients and services anyway? You have to keep the patient expenses in check to keep those costs down. Pay MORE taxes? Duh, that is a given too! Anyhow, WHO are you to question anything Mr. Obama so beneficently does for you anyway, Huh?

Now wait until the other current patients "under private plans" find out they will be forced into this new "Socialized Federal Health National Co-Op Plan" too! It is going to happen in the blink of an eye!

"Don't tell me words don't matter," Obama said.

"Don't tell me words don't matter," Obama said to Wisconsin Democrats. "'I have a dream' -- just words. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal' -- just words. 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself' -- just words. Just speeches." Now, about those pesky little words.......

Did you know that Audacity has TWO dictionary definitions? -- Just words? But, it is telling of a man's true demeanor especially as it reflects on his character.

1. The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, a book by Senator Obama boasted of his daring or willingness to challenge assumptions or conventions or tackle something difficult or dangerous. A book written with all talk, no walk as they say.

2. The Audacity of Impudence: Lack of Respect in One's behavior towards Other Persons. Witnessing the shoddy respect that the President of the United States has for anyone who opposes him by negatively labeling them as misfits and worse, Obama has earned this title for Audacity.

I propose a third definition:

3. The Audacity of Irrogance: Attitude of Superiority manifested in an overbearing manner. There is the other side of the coin, the other side of the street, the other guy's opinion and in Obama's Playbook for Life the other side doesn't count in the least.

Case in point: Obama listened to Republican responses about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders in January 2009 - but he also left no doubt about who's in charge of these negotiations. Obama's answer back? "I won", Obama noted matter-of-factly. How Presidential was that? End of discussion, game over.

So, do you really think that Obama and the Democrats are going to look for any bi-partisanship support for their Healthcare Bill? They better look for new jobs come next election and, by the way, has term limits legislation reared its ugly head again? LOL!

Health Care Babble Made Simple in 3 1/2 Minutes

07/17/2009 - Congressman Mike Rogers' opening statement on Health Care reform in Washington D.C

He explained in 3 1/2 minutes what Obama has been babbling about for 3 1/2 months.

We need more Congressmen like U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, Michigan-08 District, to explain it so clearly what this Government Run Health Plan is all about.

Save time and listen: (3.5 Minutes)

07/31/09 - Mike Rogers: Health Bill Breaks President’s Promise

U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, MI-08, released the following statement today after the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted along party lines to report to the full House a health care bill that will force millions of Americans off their health care plan: “Today’s vote broke a crucial promise of President Obama. Under this bill, if you like your health plan, you are almost certainly not going to be able to keep it. More than 100 million Americans with health insurance through their employers will be forced onto a government plan. Over 10 million seniors could lose their high-quality Medicare Advantage plans. And over 8 million Americans with Health Savings Accounts will surely see their plans outlawed by the federal government. The bill will even ban most private insurance within five years unless it is a government-approved plan. “Worse, this legislation hurts seniors by cutting more than $400 billion from critical Medicare benefits, including hospitals, home health services, nursing homes and hospice. It also gives government bureaucrats the authority to come between you and your doctor. I offered common sense amendments to protect seniors and patients, but my amendments were rejected by the Democrat majority. “I hope over the August recess the American people have a chance to actually read what is in this bill. What they will find is an unprecedented government takeover of American health care that will do nothing to improve access to high quality, affordable care. Congress should start from scratch in the fall and use American innovation and ingenuity to come up with a real solution that lowers costs for everyone and provides assistance to the truly uninsured.”

Reasons Why the 2010 Elections are So Important

The CakeLog received this email that points out the unregulated compliance issues about the Obama Programs to Federally control all of the United States Economy with total disregard to the Constitution. Read these eleven points below and ask yourself, How many times has Obama achieved his liberal goals without any resistance?

MOST ALL OF THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

What would you say if I gave you 11 reasons why the elections in 2010 will be the most important in the history of the United States ?

1. What if I had told you in October 2008, before the last presidential election, that before Barack Obama's first 100 days in office, the federal government would be in control of both the mortgage and the banking industries? That 19 of America 's largest banks would be forced to undergo stress tests by the federal government which would determine if they were insufficiently capitalized, so they must be supervised by the government?

Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."

2. What if I had told you that within Barack Obama's first 100 days in office the federal government would be the largest shareholder in the US Big-Three automakers: GM, and Chrysler? That the government would kick out the CEO's of these companies and appoint hand-picked executives with zero experience in the auto industry and that executive compensation would be determined, not by a Board of Directors, but by the government?

Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !"

3. What if I had told you that Barack Obama would appoint 21 Czars, without congressional approval, accountable only to him, not to the voters, who would have control over a wide range of US policy decisions. That there would be a Stimulus Accountability Czar, an Urban Czar, a Compensation Czar, an Iran Czar, an Auto Industry Czar, a Cyber Security Czar, an Energy Czar, a bank bailout Czar, and more than a dozen other government bureaucrats with unchecked regulatory powers over US domestic and foreign policy.

Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !"

4. What if I had told you that the federal deficit would be $915 billion in the first six months of the Obama presidency - with a projected annual deficit of $1.75 trillion - triple the $454.8 billion in 2008, for which the previous administration was highly criticized by Obama and his fellow Democrats. That congress would pass Obama's $3.53 trillion federal budget for fiscal 2010... That the projected deficit over the next ten years would be greater than $10 trillion.

Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !"

5. What if I had told you that the Obama Justice Department would order FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high-value detainees captured on the battlefield and held at US military detention facilities in Afghanistan . That Obama would order the closing of the Guantanamo detention facility with no plan for the disposition of the 200-plus individuals held there. That several of the suspected terrorists at Guantanamo would be sent to live in freedom in Bermuda at the expense of the US government. That our returning US veterans would be labeled terrorists and put on a watch list.

Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !"

6. What if I had told you that the federal government would seek powers to seize key companies whose failures could jeopardize the financial system. That a new regulatory agency would be proposed by Obama to control loans, credit cards, mortgage-backed securities, and other financial products offered to the public.

Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !!"

7. What if I had told you that Obama would travel to the Middle East, bow before the Saudi king, and repeatedly apologize for America 's past actions. That he would travel to Latin America where he would warmly greet Venezuela's strongman Hugo Chavez and sit passively in the audience while Nicaraguan Marxist thug Daniel Ortega charged America with terrorist aggression in Central America .
Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !!"

8. Okay, now what if I were to tell you that Obama wants to dismantle conservative talk radio through the imposition of a new "Fairness Doctrine." That he wants to curtail the First Amendment rights of those who may disagree with his policies via internet blogs, cable news networks, or advocacy ads. That most major network television and most newspapers will only sing his phrases like state-run media in communist countries?

Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !!!"

9. What if I were to tell you that the Obama Justice Department is doing everything it can to limit your Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. That the federal government wants to reinstate the so-called assault weapons ban which would prohibit the sale of any type of firearm that doesn't require the shooter to pull the trigger every time a round is fired. That Obama's Attorney General wants to eliminate the sale of virtually all handguns and ammunition, which most citizens choose for self-defense.

Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !!!"

10. What if I were to tell you that the Obama plan is to eliminate states rights guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment and give the federal government sweeping new powers over policies currently under the province of local and state governments and voted on by the people. That Obama plans to control the schools, energy production, the environment, health care, and the wealth of every US citizen.
Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America !"

11. What if I were to tell you that the president, the courts, and the federal government have ignored the US Constitution and have seized powers which the founders of our country fought to restrict. That our last presidential election may have been our last truly free election for some time to come. That our next presidential election may look similar to the one recently held in Iran .. (And maybe under review by ACORN.)

I know, I know what you will say. "That will never happen in America !"

If we don't do everything in our power to stop this madness in 2010...

May God have mercy on our worthless souls.

Pass this on to every freedom loving American you can.

Thank you.
