Ben Steins take on Obama
Sunday, July 26, 2009 at 12:42PM Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?
Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.
The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.
Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.
The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.
Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.
The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.
These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, hasgiven Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.
There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.
10 reasons to stop OBamacare
Saturday, July 25, 2009 at 3:41PM 1) Pg 22 mandates that the Government will audit books of ALL EMPLOYERS that
self insure. So every employer in the United States will be subjected to a
health insurance audit just as all taxpayers are subject to audit. Of
course, we will have to pay for an entire new bureaucracy to do this--the
Internal Health Revenue Service?
2) Pg 30, Sec 123 states that there will be a government committee that
decides what treatments you are allowed and what your overall benefits are.
3) Pg 29, lines 4-16 basically mandates the rationing of health care as is
being done in Canada.
4) Pg 42 recognizes the power of the Health Choices Commissioner to
determine your health benefits. You will have no choice.
5) PG 50, section 152 states that free, taxpayer-paid health care will be
given to the 30 million non-citizens in the USA, even illegal aliens.
6) Pg 58 states that government will have possession of all your health
care records & history including finances and you will have to have a
National ID Healthcard.
7) Pg 59, lines 21-24 gives direct access to your banks accounts to compel
you to pay any out-of-pocket or premium costs electronically without your
previous consent.
8) PG 65, sec 164 provides for a political payoff from the Democrats and
Obama; a special subsidized plan for retirees and their families in unions
community groups like ACORN.
9) Pg 72, lines 8-14 creates a Health Care Exchange to bring private health
insurance plans under government control. This part of the bill reveals
Obama's lies about being able to keep your plan if you like it. Any health
insurance plan which does not completely rework itself to conform to these
regulations will be dropped from the exchange and those insured will have to
pick one of the plans in the exchange. This is why the Congressional Budget
Office determined that over 20 million will lose the coverage they are now
enjoying if Obamacare is implemented.
10) PG 85, line 7 provides specifics for benefit levels for all health
plans, giving government the right to ration everyone's healthcare.
