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.

Vote the bums out!!!

We all know what a hair cut is. We don’t need to discuss it. There is no “gray area.” Any one who is not sure what a hair cut is should not be allowed to be a leader of the people. That person is not a normal person.

The first of two related issues is this. A voting process on an issue is a process where the result is not known until the votes are in. This is as simple a concept as can be. We all understand it. It seems that in Washington DC there is now a process where votes are guaranteed and gathered before the voting process takes thereby taking the true nature of voting away from the voters. This is something that is new to me. I consider it a perversion of the nature of a process that we all intuitively understand. It is a perversion created to subvert normalcy.

The second issue also has an element of perversion of natural order in it. This issue has also come to the forefront and my attention lately as it is another subversive tactic. In California we have a law that states that a particular issue must have 60% of the voters to pass. Our beloved Governor has decided that since many voters abstained that he would pass the law because the issue did not receive 40% of votes against. This manipulation of reasoning is a perversion tactic. It perverts or denies the point of the original law. It is what I call ****** logic.

Now we have a President doing this. Never in my life have I seen more of this circumventing of the intent of our “Checks and Balances” system than I have seen in regard to this national healthcare power grab. It is clear that the people en mass have rejected government take over of health care responsibilities. It is clear that despite this, Obama is determined to impose it on us. It is clear to me that he will do this by disgraceful, legal perversion tactics if he must. One example would be the “Slaughter Solution,” clever but illegal, and, illegal for good reason.

As a result of this perversion, there is rising in America of what might become a second political party. This party is called the TEA Party. This would be a party to oppose the now unified Republican/Democrat party that rules now. It would be a party “of the people” to oppose the ruling party. It would be a party that opposes the “jamb it down your throat” rulers in Washington DC and at all levels of government that we have now.

Funny, our politics has finally found total unity in that the Rep/Dem party is now one. There really is no more partisan politics. There is “all politicians bent of suppression of the people” and “the people.” Those are the two parties. One party is ruling with impunity. The other party is asleep.

Now, here we have Obama who has America more polarized than with any other administration in my life time, the ultimate destroyer of American unity, the ultimate perverter of law, forcing the American people to “take charge” as is there rightful place.
Health care could have been reformed slowly and gently in a productive way, but no, Obama wanted to ram a poorly constructed, unproductive, destructive, politically motivated reform that would not be for your benefit but to increase control of you by the government, both through your actual health and through the medical industry’s economy. He created so much division that he single handedly may have caused a “revolution,” but not quite the one that he promised.
Obama symbolizes the Rep/Dem party as politics at “rock bottom.”

I guess there is nothing quite like an “Antichrist” to call the faithful to prayer.

Recently some silly politician held a meeting with his constituents. He said that he wanted to serve them. His idea was to ask them, “What new laws would you like to see me enact?” Just imagine his response to my answer. “None,” I said. We have plenty, too many, in fact. If you want to serve us, we don’t need any new laws, what we need is reduced government. So, if you want to serve us, let me ask the new question. This question should be asked of every political candidate in the upcoming election. It should be on the “A” list of questions along with that candidate’s plan to lower taxes. It should be the very reason that we elect that candidate, almost above any other. It is a question that should be put in writing and the response would be signed by the candidate.

In fact, I would like to have each candidate put up a bond from their own campaign fund to finance a recall if the promise is not kept.

The new question for the candidate should simply be,
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO REDUCE GOVERNMENT?

If you don’t have a plan for this most necessary project, then you can not be our leader. This is something that must be understood by anyone who is hoping to “serve” us. If this is not understood than understand this, that person’s plan is not to serve, it is to exploit.

Now I have a new question for you.
DO YOU WANT TO EMPOWER THAT PERSON?

So, Let’s Recap “2009″………what a year!

(IF THIS DOESN’T GIVE YOU A HEADACHE, PLEASE DO NOT VOTE)

1. The American people inaugurate a half-Arab president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state (and city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office. The President’s first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorists civil rights are not violated.
(An honest mistake?)

2. The U.S. Congress rushed to confirm Obama’s buddy Eric Holder as Attorney General, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists.
(An honest mistake?!)

3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, had absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere. (There were socioeconomic factors involved!)

4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. (But who’s counting??)

5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years.(He misspoke!)

6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.
(Another honest mistake???)

7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges.
(Hmmm… another screw-up?)

8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.
(Ok, maybe this person was just plain stupid.)

9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.
(I’m running out of excuses for these idiots!!)

10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed.
(I am getting a headache!)

All this occurred just during the first three weeks. . . but who’s counting?

America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges- Barry, Nancy and Harry- and they are still trying to define stimulus…”it’s spending!!!”

The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that’s $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars back ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Telemundo!

Here’s the good news though - Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel, for 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR.

Don’t you just love hypocrites? Obama went to the International Olympic Committee to lobby them to choose Chicago for a host city. He failed. Obama went to Copenhagen to lecture them on global warming. He failed. Obama went to new Jersey to promote the Democratic candidate for Governor. He failed. Obama went to Virginia to promote the Democratic candidate for Governor. He failed. Obama went to Massachusetts to promote the Democratic candidate for Senator. He failed.

Speaking of praying, Obama has now been president for a full year and yet he & wife
(first lady) Michelle,the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration. Obama is the 1st president in history who did not attend any Christmas religious observance. He must miss Reverend Wright! He was the first president to miss the Army & Navy Football game. And finally, he is the 1st president to remain on vacation after a terrorist attack.

If Mr. Obama did one good thing while in the office of the presidency, or in fact one good thing before that, I would like to know what it was. Please write in and tell me.

N.O.W. Fires Back
As with the last entry, I will be in Italics and commentary I respond to will be in regular type.
Gender bias in the White House is supported by hate groups like N.O.W. It is easy to see why we have the person in the White House who is there. I would like to call that person “the man” in the White House but because of his wussy stance on the fabricated Marxist vehicle called “women’s issues,” I can not give Obama a clear gender. We certainly know that the “vice” President, Joe (V.A.W.A.) Biden is “all girl.”
As reported by Glenn Sacks; The National Organization for Women has learned about our efforts and is concerned about them. They have now sent out an Action Alert to counter our campaign. According to NOW’s Tracy Simmons:
“I am writing you, the leaders of various groups that represent battered women, (these are groups who receive Federal funds but do not serve all Americans) for your help in one of the most important matters we will address this year. The American Psychiatric Association is considering adding Parental Alienation to the Diagnosticians book, which would legitimize this legal tactic (legal tactic? Parental Alienation really happens. It is child abuse) into a real disorder.” It already is a disorder as sure as the world is round.
Parental Alienation Syndrome has now morphed into Parental Alienation Disorder thanks to the fathers’ rights organizations (FRO’s are a reaction to decades of abuse by……. Well you know.) who are wildly (wildly?) pushing this through, and why wouldn’t they? (Yes, why wouldn’t they? Someone has to protect their children from……. Well you know.) It benefits the abuser (Yes PA does benefit the abuser at the expense of the child.) and discriminates against the victims of abuse, which are overwhelmingly women. The victims of PA, PAS or PAD are the children ya’ selfish ignorant witch. (Excuse me for the anger. It’s just that “the victims are women” from Tracy, was just too much)
This gender specific, (How is it gender specific? We are not saying all abusers are women. Are you saying that?) abuse excuse, (We don’t excuse abuse. It seems you do) junk science (I’ll bet that Tracey Simmons is an expert on” junk science,” her hate group, the N.O.W. has spent decades creating it.) can not be allowed to enter into the scientific community as there is nothing scientific about a syndrome/disorder whose only symptoms are a uterus, divorce papers, and bruises. (Sooo… you assert or even admit that all PAS, PA and PAD is caused, created and exploited by women. This is not true. There are a few men guilty of this and we Court Reform Advocates deplore their actions too. However, you are on the right track.) I ask that you all to take action against legitimizing this outrageous theory (Tracy, look up the word theory. PAS, PA and PAD are reality, not theory) by e-mailing the APA and asking your groups to do the same.
I guess that we can only conclude that Parental Alienation, Parental Alienation Syndrome and Parental Alienation Disorder are such valuable tools to women of divorce that this group has decided “to hell with children” we want to win in court at any cost and sometimes, false Domestic Violence Claims just aren’t enough.

I have to say that Tracy Simmons lack of understanding that children are the primary victims, of parents who employ this despicable tactic, makes her authority to write about it completely unqualified. What she is qualified to do is spread lies and propaganda which is why I call the N.O.W. a hate group. Look at the ignorant bigot that group has chosen for a spokesperson and leader.

Let me also applaud Glenn Sacks and Ned Holstein for their work in bringing this horrible form of child abuse to the attention of the APA. I only hope that APA members college educations aren’t wasted and they are smart enough to see the obvious. I hope that they act on behalf of both the abused children and the abused parent of anyone who would perpetrate Parental Alienation.

Dear Psychiatrists, please turn your back on the lobbying and Federal money and do the right thing. Acknowledge Parental Alienation in all of its forms and work toward combating it. Do what you know is right. You will make a better future for everyone.

I’ll be in italics. The rest is Usurper Obama, straight from the White House press release. Again with the gender bias.
“Our Nation’s commitment to women’s rights must not end at
our own borders, and my Administration is making global
women’s empowerment a core pillar of our foreign policy.”
Why?

“My Administration created the first Office for Global
Women’s Issues and appointed an Ambassador at Large to
head it.”
Wouldn’t that be gender bias? By the way, it’s not your administration, It’s “this administration” of which you are the TEMPOARY steward.
“We are working with the United Nations and other
international institutions to support women’s equality and
to curtail violence against women and girls, especially in
situations of war and conflict.”
What about violence against men during war. I don’t know if you’ve got any experience with actual war but the soldiers getting killed are always pretty much a bunch of guys. (Since you are not a soldier, see any historical combat footage)
“We are partnering internationally to improve
women’s welfare through targeted investments in
agriculture, nutrition, and health, as well as programs that empower women to contribute to economic and social progress in their
communities.”
How much are our “partners” investing?
“And we are following through on the
commitments I made in Cairo to promote access to
education, improve literacy, and expand
employment opportunities for women and girls.”
Why the hell are you making commitments in, where, Cairo? Look, get back here and work on reducing the size of government. We have an economic problem here that threatens national security. And don’t start sentences with “and.” See.  Next you’ll be ending sentences with “at.”

“This month, let us carry forth the legacy of our mothers
and grandmothers.”
My mother and grandmother were wives, mothers and home makers.
“As we honor the women who have shaped
our Nation, we must remember that we are tasked with
writing the next chapter of women’s history.”
We don’t write the next chapter. We live, and historians report what actually happened. Who the hell is your speech writer?
“Only if we teach our daughters that no obstacle is too great for
them, that no ceiling
(Ceiling? Ceiling? Really? Feminazi rhetoric? Tag line for lies about fictional wage disparity? Shame on you Barack.)
can block their ascent, will we inspire them to reach for their highest aspirations and achieve true equality.”
Sorry, I couldn’t hold my outburst until the end of the sentence on that last one. Speaking of the end of that sentence “true equality?” This “women” baloney is pure unbalanced affirmative action. True equality would mean the same rules and resources for all. Nothing special for either or any.

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United
States of America,
(President? still unproven, just an undocumented assertion. I know this sounds tedious but I am going somewhere with this comment.)
by virtue of the authority vested in me
by the Constitution
(which you flagrantly disregard each and every day)
and the laws of the United States, (again, flagrantly disregarded)
do hereby proclaim March 2010 as Women’s History Month.”
Is everything else men’s history? If it is, you have to admit, men have basically built everything. Including everything that women have. Let’s look at the balance between the accomplishments of these two groups .It might appear to an objective observer that historically women have not given men enough credit for the miracles of accomplishment that men have achieved. This sentence is, of course, absurd. Men and Women have always appreciated each other and their very different roles in the ascent of mankind. It is Marxist Ideologists like Obama, bent on the destruction of America through the institution of the impossible political system of socialism that deny that men and women love each other. Yeah, love. Promoting things like “ Women’s History Month” merely creates segregation of the sexes and the destruction of harmonious American life. Both women and men have a very strong sense of their place in society as well as their roles in regard to each other. By the way Obama, healthy men and women like these roles. These roles are a thing of nature, not a thing of government legislation. To not recognize this is to demonstrate a failing of your own humanity. This lack of humanity disqualifies you from being the leader of anyone. In fact, you need serious psychological help. I am qualified to assert this statement because my undocumented PHD in Psychology is as valid as your undocumented citizenship. Accept my credentials or get out of my President’s office.
“I call upon all our citizens to observe this month with
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that
honor the history, accomplishments, and contributions of American women.”
“Appropriate programs?” Americans, please just disregard Obama’s pleas to disturb natural unity and his insults to normal, happy, healthy, productive women.

“IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

second day of March, in the year of our Lord
(Our Lord? What happened to “church and state?”)(BTW Mr. Christian,  where were you at Christmas service?)
two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of
America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.”
For our Lord’s sake, just write the date. Geeez……….

If you want to start a list of people we don’t need to support with our tax dollars, the list starts here. Get a list of any people who involve themselves with this and put an end to their political career. They do not understand their job and we can no longer afford to subsidize these incompetent charlatans. So far my comment on this has been kind. Now, my true comment was, “these people who insult our intelligence are nothing but a bunch of arrogant thieves.” There, I said it.

March 1, 2010
EDITORIAL: Hot-dog hysteria
Big Brother takes a bite out of common sense
Believe it or not, the government is about to regulate the shape of hot dogs. Bureaucrats at the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Agriculture and the Consumer Product Safety Commission are studying how to change the shape of hot dogs to prevent youngsters from choking. As a result, recent headlines have warned about “killer hot dogs” and “Doctors urging for a safer, choke-free hot dog.”
It’s true that compared to some other foods, hot dogs seem to present a slightly higher risk. Of the 66 to 77 choking deaths for children younger than 10 in 2006, hot dogs reportedly accounted for about 11 to 13 deaths. But this claim of relative risk isn’t conclusive because there has been no attempt to account for the fact that children might be eating more hot dogs than other types of food.
Changing the shape of the beloved “tube steak” could reduce but not eliminate that number. Unfortunately, some kids will likely still choke on redesigned hot dogs, no matter what, just like some children choke on hamburgers, apples or other foods.
The death rate per hot dog is incredibly small. American kids younger than 10 eat approximately 1.8 billion hot dogs per year, which works out to an average of about 45 hot dogs per child per annum. That pegs the death rate per hot dog from choking at 0.0000007 percent. If crossing a street were so safe, parents would breathe a sigh of relief.
Any child’s death is tragic, but the government cannot regulate everything and create a risk-free kindergarten utopia. Perhaps bureaucrats will go after bathtubs next. More than 90 children younger than 5 died from drowning in bathtubs in 2006. Forty-three children younger than 10 died riding bicycles. Even in extremely regulated areas, there are many more deaths. In that age group, more than 1,100 died as a result of motor-vehicle accidents that year.
Life involves some risks. If government agencies don’t have anything better to do than regulate hot dogs, their budgets should be cut to help them focus on essential duties.
