My Philosophy in a Nutshell

I don't care what you do, as long as you don't do it to me......and as long as I don't have to pay for it

Bye Bye Democrat Party

R.I.P. Democrat Party, you just f*cked up real bad by passing this Communist/Marxist/Progressive abortion of health care "reform" over the weekend when you thought the American people weren't paying attention. Well Dems, I hate to tell you this, but WE WERE PAYING ATTENTION!!!! We were jamming the House switchboard with phone calls, warning you not to pass this Marxist Monstrosity. But as usual, you arrogant bastards didn't listen. Your holier-than-thou, we know-better-than-you mentality trumped the will of the American people. Well Dems, time's caught up with you. You're not going to get away with passing this unconstitutional legislative piece of sh*t. I'm betting the Supreme Court will overturn it, and if they don't you will be voted out of office this November. Then the Republicans/Conservatives will gain a substantial majority in both houses and repeal this piece of legislative sewage, and because of the huge majorities the GOP will gain in both houses, your boy Obama won't be able to veto the repeal because the GOP/Conservative controlled Congress will override the veto. Sorry Democrats, but this November will be a political bloodbath for your party. And it will be a tremendous victory for the real Americans  (Conservatives, Libertarians, Classical Liberals, etc.) You f*cked up by taking your mask off and finally revealing what you really are. You are Communist/Marxist/Progressives that need to be, and will be, brought down and reduced to political irrelevancy. Your time has come, and none too soon. You have been wiping your collective ass with the United States Constitution for far too long now and enough's enough. You will be reduced to political irrelevancy this November 2.  You've had 100 years to f*ck this country up. Hopefully it won't take the real Americans as long to make it right again. Oh and by the way, if you try to keep yourselves in perpetual power by election fraud, beware! We're watching! You've awakened a sleeping giant and the giant is pissed off. And if any of you lefties/progressives reading this are offended by the coarse language in this post I have this to say, kiss my ass and go fuck yourselves.

From the Wall Street Journal: Slaughter House Rules

 How the Democrats may 'deem' ObamaCare into law without voting

We're not sure American schools teach civics any more, but once upon a time they taught that under the U.S. Constitution a bill had to pass both the House and Senate to become law. Until this week, that is, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi is moving to merely 'deem' that the House has passed the Senate health-care bill and then send it to President Obama to sign anyway.
Under the 'reconciliation' process that began [Monday] afternoon, the House is supposed to approve the Senate's Christmas Eve bill and then use 'sidecar' amendments to fix the things it doesn't like. Those amendments would then go to the Senate under rules that would let Democrats pass them while avoiding the ordinary 60-vote threshold for passing major legislation. This alone is an abuse of traditional Senate process.
But Mrs. Pelosi & Co. fear they lack the votes in the House to pass an identical Senate bill, even with the promise of these reconciliation fixes. House Members hate the thought of going on record voting for the Cornhusker kickback and other special-interest bribes that were added to get this mess through the Senate, as well as the new tax on high-cost insurance plans that Big Labor hates. So at the Speaker's command, New York Democrat Louise Slaughter, who chairs the House Rules Committee, may insert what's known as a 'self-executing rule,' also known as a 'hereby rule.'
Under this amazing procedural ruse, the House would then vote only once on the reconciliation corrections, but not on the underlying Senate bill. If those reconciliation corrections pass, the self-executing rule would say that the Senate bill is presumptively approved by the House -- even without a formal up-or-down vote on the actual words of the Senate bill. Democrats would thus send the Senate bill to President Obama for his signature even as they claimed to oppose the same Senate bill. They would be declaring themselves to be for and against the Senate bill in the same vote. Even John Kerry never went that far with his Iraq war machinations.
This two-votes-in-one gambit is a brazen affront to the plain language of the Constitution, which is intended to require democratic accountability. Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution says that in order for a 'Bill' to 'become a Law,' it 'shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate.'
This is why the House and Senate typically have a conference committee to work out differences in what each body passes. ... If Congress can now decide that the House can vote for one bill and the Senate can vote for another, and the final result can be some arbitrary hybrid, then we have abandoned one of [James] Madison's core checks and balances. Yes, self-executing rules have been used in the past, but as the Congressional Research Service put it in a 2006 paper, "Originally, this type of rule was used to expedite House action in disposing of Senate amendments to House-passed bills." They've also been used for amendments such as to a 1998 bill that "would have permitted the CIA to offer employees an early-out retirement program"—but never before to elide a vote on the entire fundamental legislation.
We have entered a political wonderland, where the rules are whatever Democrats say they are. Mrs. Pelosi and the White House are resorting to these abuses because their bill is so unpopular that a majority even of their own party doesn't want to vote for it. Fence-sitting Members are being threatened with primary challengers, a withdrawal of union support and of course ostracism. Michigan's Bart Stupak is being pounded nightly by MSNBC for the high crime of refusing to vote for a bill that he believes will subsidize insurance for abortions.
Democrats are, literally, consuming their own majority for the sake of imposing new taxes, regulations and entitlements that the public has roundly rejected but that they believe will be the crowning achievement of the welfare state. They are also leaving behind a procedural bloody trail that will fuel public fury and make such a vast change of law seem illegitimate to millions of Americans.
The concoction has become so toxic that even Mrs. Pelosi isn't bothering to defend the merits anymore, saying instead last week that "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." Or rather, "deeming" to have passed it.

From yet another email

The devastation and ignorance being caused by this
catastrophic occurrence will forever destroy the
fiber and character of a once great nation
with little hope for correction or rebuilding
at the present rate of duplicity and complacence
being displayed by the American public.

I don't know who came up with the idea for this drawing, but it is GREAT!

From an email; The Investor's Business Daily

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.




Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:



U.S. 65%



England 46%



Canada 42%



Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:



U.S. 93%



England 15%



Canada 43%



Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:



U.S. 90%



England 15%



Canada 43%



Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:



U.S. 77%



England 40%



Canada 43%



Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:



U.S. 71



England 14



Canada 18



Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":



U.S. 12%



England 2%



Canada 6%





I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" comparable to England or Canada.



Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."

SHIP HIS ASS TO CANADA OR ENGLAND!



He is "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high-end coverage! He will never have to learn to accept "inconveniences"!!!



AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!



The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is... a real life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.



T. Roosevelt........ 38%



Taft.....................40%



Wilson ................52%



Harding..................49%



Coolidge.............. 48%



Hoover................. 42%



F. Roosevelt......... 50%



Truman..................50%



Eisenhower........... 57%



Kennedy.............. 30%



Johnson.................47%



Nixon................... 53%



Ford..................... 42%



Carter.................. 32%



Reagan...................56%



GH Bush................. 51%



Clinton ................. 39%



GW Bush................ 55%



And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is:



Obama................ 8% !!!



Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent!!!..the least by far of the last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me?



How can the president of a major nation and society...the one with the most successful economic system in world history... stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?.. or about jobs when he has never really had one??! And neither has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers! They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs....or as "community organizers" when they should have been in an employment line.

It seems even God's not on Obama's side

From the minister:




We were in slow-moving traffic the other day and the car in front of us had an Obama bumper sticker on it. It read: "Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8".



My husband's Bible was lying on the dash board & he got it & opened it up to the scripture & read it. He started laughing & laughing. Then he read it to me. I couldn't believe what it said. I had a good laugh, too.



Psalm 109:8

"Let his days be few; and let another take his office. "



At last - I can voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up - it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray.

JFK'S

Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when Charles

DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US

military out of France as soon as possible.





Rusk responded,

"Does that include those who are buried here?"



DeGaulle

did not respond.

When in England ,

at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the

Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of

'empire building' by George Bush.





He answered by saying,

"Over the years, the United States has sent many of

its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom

beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for

in return is enough to bury those that did not

return."

There was a conference in France

where a number of international engineers

were taking part, including French and American. During a break,

one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you

heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft

carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he

intend to do, bomb them?"





A Boeing engineer

stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three

hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are

nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to

shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to

feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand

gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a

dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and

from their flight deck.



We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?"

A U.S. Navy Admiral

was attending a naval conference that included

Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French

Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large

group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a

French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many

languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that

we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than

speaking French?"





Without hesitating,

the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the

Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't

have to speak German."

AND

THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...





Robert Whiting,

an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.

At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport

in his carry on.





"You

have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked

sarcastically.





Mr. Whiting

admitted that he had been to France

previously.





"Then

you should know enough to have your passport ready."





The American said,

"The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."



"Impossible..

Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !"



The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he

quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in

1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen

to show a passport to."
