THE BEREAVEMENT GRUDGE

 

The original intent was to take at least a week off,as one would take time off work to mourn the passing of a loved one.After much prayer and meditation I felt that the burden of sorrow becomes lighter when you look to your family and friends for solace.When we lift our voices in unison,perhaps a compassionate God will guide us through these rocky shoals.

First,I’ve never been much of a silver-lining guy.Second place in a contest is the first loser.I fear that what has been done to us cannot be undone.If anybody can name a federal program that ever went away once it’s been established,please let me know.The fallback position for any liberal is that a failed policy just needs more money.The thought that it was a bad idea to begin with never occurs to them.Obamacare is here to stay,folks,get used to it.

There is strong evidence Benedict Roberts had originally sided with the constitutionalists on the court.Remember when I said Obama knew what the vote was minutes after it was done,thanks probably to Kagan?Do you recall how he stormed in front of the cameras,wagged his finger and warned the court about taking the ‘unprecedented’ step of overturning established law?Roberts even lobbied Kennedy hard to switch so all the blame would not fall on him.The reasons he sold the country out are known only to him,but I get the sense he knew what he was doing because immediately afterward he hopped a plane to Malta,which he referred to as ‘an isolated island fortress.’ Obama even gave him travel expenses–thirty pieces of silver.

That puddle of pudding,Boehner,boldly announced a July 11 vote to repeal Obamatax.To what end?It’s going nowhere,everybody knows it.Just a little something to tell the folks at home.McConnell has previously stated they have no intention of repealing it,and I doubt Romney would have the stomach for it either.There will be no happy ending.

Obama lied when he said it wasn’t a tax!We can nail him because he lied.Guess what?People know he lied.They think most politicians lie.Taxes only hurt those who are working.The democrat base is the very rich, who don’t care about the money,and the poor, who don’t pay anything anyway.As long as they get their free stuff,it’s all good.

What do you suppose he hired those 16,000 IRS agents for?Rush said yesterday that they will have the power to go into any business and get your payroll records and know what both you and your family make.If  they feel you’re not paying enough, or none at all for your insurance,even if your company has dropped coverage for their employees,they have the power to deduct monies from your check,as they do with FICA and withholding.This is enumerated in the first response,entitled ‘the ten worst things about Obamacare.’

    THE TOP TEN WORST THINGS IN OBAMACARE
    http://www.nationalreview.com/critical-condition/304361/top-ten-worst-things-obamacare-grace-marie-turner

    Here’s a quick checklist of the ten worst things in the law — in addition to the individual and Medicaid mandates:

    1. Employer mandate. Most companies will have to provide and pay for expensive government-determined health insurance for their employees or face federal fines.

    2. Anti-conscience mandate. Religious organizations will be required to provide free sterilization, contraceptives, and abortion-inducing drugs to their employees, even if it violates their religious beliefs.

    3. New and higher taxes.The law contains at least 20 new taxes totaling $500 billion that will hit medical innovators, health insurance, and even the sale of your home.

    4. The Independent Payment Advisory Board. IPAB will still stand, with its rationing power over Medicare.

    5. State exchanges. States will be compelled to set up vast new bureaucracies to check into our finances and families so they can hand out generous taxpayer subsidies for health insurance to families earning up to $90,000 a year.

    6. Medicare payment cuts. $575 billion in payment reductions to Medicare providers and Medicare Advantage plans will cause more and more physicians to stop seeing Medicare patients, exacerbating access problems.

    7. Higher health-care costs. The Kaiser Family Foundation says the average price of a family policy has risen by $2,200 during the Obama administration. The president promised premiums would be $2,500 lower by this year. Hospitals, doctors, businesses, and consumers all expect their taxes and health costs to rise under Obamacare.

    8. Government control over doctor decisions.Value-based payments, quality reporting requirements, and government comparative-effectiveness boards will dictate how doctors practice medicine. Nearly half of all physicians are seriously considering leaving practice, leading to a severe doctor shortage.

    9. Huge deficits. The CBO has raised its cost estimate for the law to $1.76 trillion over ten years, but that is only the opening bid as more and more people lose their job-based coverage and flood into taxpayer-subsidized insurance. At this rate, the cost will be $2 trillion, not the less than $1 trillion the president promised.

    10. 159 new boards, agencies, and programs: The Obama administration will work quickly to set up as many of the law’s new bureaucracies as fast as it can so they can take root before the election.

      I still have faith that the more truth is known, the more people will be demanding repeal. It all depends on who Mitt puts out there to push for repeal because HE is not a very good messenger on the topic. If this monster is exposed day after day, it will get people to the polls. In the end, that is what we need.
      If it is repealed, Roberts’ ruling will be moot. That is why I believe he fell on the sword. I think he has faith that the American people will demand this thing is thrown out. WE have to have faith as well.
      As Glen Beck says “We surround them”. There are still more freedom loving Americans than socialists in this country. We just have get them all to VOTE!

      If there is a way to embed this one, I don’t know it. The previous one was a YouTube video. When you click on it to play, look at the bottom. If it’s at YouTube, it’ll say so in the black bar and you can click to watch it at YouTube, which is also where you can scrounge the URL to embed it here. It’ll have some embedding code in it that won’t work here, but once you get used to which parts are the basic YouTube code and which are extra, it’s easy to delete the extra. I usually delete what I think is extra, then click on that to make sure I got it right, then bring it here and embed it. I am not sure why the two I did above aren’t playing though. Must’ve messed up somewhere. Dang.

      “Well, good luck to the Republicans, especially Mitt Romney, in campaigning about taking away now people’s health care benefits,” fmr. Gov.

Taking away people’s kids being on health care. I don’t think that now that they have it, it’s been ratified by three branches of government, taking that away is not a good campaign strategy.”

          It would be far better and far cheaper if we had a really free market for health insurance. Then healthy kids that age could afford catastrophic coverage, which is all they really need.
