Voyageur: Carrying A Message


“Carry a message to Marathon, tell them we won.” Voyage to the moon so you can see the Earth behind you. Bring good news back, saying that all looks peaceful from there. Voyageur, carry the message in your heart, we have won the race. These are the words both sides of the vote on health care are looking for. One side will come away victorious today. Which it will be is anyone’s guess. If the Democrats get the vote, we will need to prepare for the onslaught coming in 2010. That onslaught will be the sound of locusts coming to take our freedom, our liberty, and our money. The locusts will be tax collectors, bureaucrats from Washington coming to set up panels which will tell us what they will cover and what they won’t, and the campaigners for candidates who will scrounge around for votes they don’t deserve. If the Republicans win we will see smiles, promises, kissed babies, and scroungers. Unless the Republican party regains their conservativeness, and their contract for America, and sticks with it, we will see a lot of wind but no breath of fresh air. Trust in our legislative branch will take place only if significant changes are wrought, there will be a distrust of congress and the bureaucracy which transports the messages from the legislature to the people. Unless the bureaucracy drastically changes, there will be very little change in the institution of government. Senators and Representatives may come and go, but bureaucrats stay until they are either fired or retired. If the voyageur caries a message of hope we can breathe easier for at least 10 minutes. Then we will need to continue our vigilence, because just like in 2001 and 2004, Republicans dropped the ball. The watchmen could not raise the citizens to rally at the gate then, so the message was lost. If we are not vigilent, when the Republicans regain their seats, they will slip again. There is an opportunity to become the uberparty again, but it will take work and boldness on the part of the candidates. The message must be transported to every portion of our society, from one people group to the next. Noone can be left out, and noone excluded. The conservative message is one of common sense answers to the issues of the day. Common sense is not always the simplest answer, but is an answer that simplifies complicated issues. This health care bill, for instance, complicates a simple issue into a convoluted mess. That is what republicans cannot do. Simplify, qualify, and reduce, the three words which will get the Republican Party back into a majotity. Then, when they get back into the majority, they cannot forget how they got there. Simplify, qualify, and reduce. Keep the message simple, just like the message the Greeks sent back to Marathon, ” we won.” Keep legislation simple so the citizenry can understand it, qualify the message by doing the math, showing how much it will cost in simple terms, reduce the size of government by half, cutting programs and departments that no longer serve a purpose, and reduce the deficit, and stop the spending. Stop the flow of illegals and secure the borders. In this way we can deduce that the Republican Party is one which listens to its constituents, and serves the nation rather than the party. It is just as wrong for Republicans to only serve the party as it is for the Democrats to only serve their party. If the Republican party serves the Nation first, they will reap the rewards of that action. The nation always comes first, politically.

The most important thing 2009 has taught us is that this nation can fall into darkness. We, as a nation have allowed our selves to idolize a man, and put him on such a high pedistal that when he falls he will break his neck. We have seen it in the newspapers, on cable news channels, network channels, and some radio stations. We have experienced this phenomenon throughout the campaign, and the first year of this presidency. No man, woman, or whatever, deserves that much adulation, no matter who they are. This nation has slipped into an idolitrous nation. We began this nation as an experiment in Christianity. Our forefathers came to this land to bring Christianity to this land for the glory of God. That was the beginning of this nation. Time has eaten away at this experiment in government and this Christian heritage. It is up to us to protect them both, with God’s help.

Red, White, Blue, and Green, With A Cresent


It seems that our President has given this nation into the hands of our enemies. He sees the enemy as a friend, and sees the citizens of America as his enemies. By giving Khalid Sheikh Mohammed all the rights and privileges afforded only to American citizens, he has abandoned his obligation to protect the constitution, therefore betraying this nation. In effect, Obama and Holder have taken it upon themselves to make Khalid, and friends, citizens of the United States without regard for the law. The Legislature is the branch of government which makes law regarding rules of naturalization, according to the constitution, and they are the only ones who can change those laws. Khalid and friends have no rights under the constitution, regardless of their imprisonment at Gitmo. This move on Holder’s part is unconscionable at best and unconstitutional all the way through. There is no reason Khalid and friends need to be brought to New York in the first place, unless it is to put the CIA, and the Bush administration on trial. If this is the case, both Obama and Holder are out of bounds. There is no excuse for revenge and slander in the case of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed vs. United States. If this trial turns into a circus, both Obama and Holder need to be held accountable for their actions.

We have seen our flag, and our nation come under the worst attack since the World Trade Center in 2001. President Obama and Eric Holder are the culprits, and the families of those slain in 2001 are the targets of their attack. How can Obama and Holder perpetrate the devastatingly brutal propaganda tour to proceed. Do they hate the victims that much, or are they just stupid, according to Proverbs 12:1-3.  1. “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. 2. A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but the LORD condemns a crafty man. 3. A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.” It seems this may be something to think about while Khalid and friends make their way to New York. This war is not against criminals, it is against people who have declared war on this nation, and to treat it as a criminal act is not only against the military code, but it is an Ostrich move on the part of our president and his attorney general. It is time to wake up, Mr. President, and smell the gunpowder, because if this trial is allowed to proceed we will see many more attacks on our soil, and the blame will fall on your shoulders. There is no excuse for stupidity, or for having your head in the sand.

Face the facts, President Obama, and Attorney General Holder, we are at war, and because of that fact all diligence should be brought to bear on this case, in the military courts. No war criminal should be tried in civilian court. It is wrong, and it sets the wrong message before the world. Wake up, Mr. President!!!

Dear Senators


I am writing you today to ask you to oppose the health care bill. It is a bill which defrauds and enslaves all citizens of this great nation. It destroys our freedom and encumbers us, as citizens with a debt which can never be repaid. Our economy is fragile enough without dumping $ 3 trillion more dollars on top of our shoulders. It is also unconstitutional to force citizens, under penalty of fines or imprisonment, to buy health insurance. We are not chattel, nor are we the slaves of the Federal government. We, the people of the United States, are the ones on the top of the food chain where you are concerned. You work for us, and we can fire you. You had better remember that. 87% of American citizens like the health care they have. We, as citizens, want a Federal government which acts responsibly, and budget conscious. We want less government, and less bureaucracy, but this healthcare bill adds taxes, builds government infrastructure, and adds bureaucracy. This is the wrong way to go about saving our tax money. I want less of my money going to Washington DC. If I have to live within a budget, so should you.

There are ten amendments that spell out the rights which belong to the citizens of America. They are written in the first ten amendments of the constitution, and are rights which cannot be taken away, but health care is not among them. It is not the responsibility of the Federal government to furnish, or run health care, and it is even unconstitutional to do so, especially the way you seem to want to do it.

The best thing you could do is pass some type of tort reform, and give insurance companies the opportunity to sell insurance across State lines. Portability, and tax deductions for those who can’t afford health insurance would make that insurance much cheaper than the monstrosity you have come up with.

Of course, if the objective of this bill is not health or care, but a power play, then I suppose you will pass this bill anyway. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson warned us about your type of politician. Thomas Jefferson’s sentiment was that Big government is the force which will destroy thwe very fabric of this democracy. There is no good excuse for this health care legislation for it tears at the very foundation this nation was built on. We have become a backward nation. The constitution states that the Federal government only has those powers allowed by the citizens, and the States have the rest of the powers. There are specific powers given to the Federal government,and they are; President; Make treaties, appoint ambassadors, public ministers, consuls, judges to the supreme court, and all other officers of the United States whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law. He is the Commander in Chief of all the military, and can give out pardons.

The Legislature; borrows money, regulate commerce with foreign nations, states, and Indian tribes. Establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and bancruptcy. Coin money, regulate the value tthereof, standardize weights and measures, provide punishment for counterfeiting securities and coins. Define and punish pirates and felonies on the high seas, declare war, raise and support armies and a navy, and make rules for government. There are more than this, but this is a good sample of what our government is supposed to do.

Providing health care for citizens of the United States didn’t show up in any of the duties of government. Neither the President nor congress had any role in running our health care system. Funny thing about that.

It is time to stop all this nonsense and quit trying to take over an industry which doesn’t need to be taken over. If something needs tweaked then we can tweak it, but a wholesale overhaul is not only burdensome for the taxpayers, but is destructive for the best health care system in the world. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If it is broke, fix the part that is broke, and leave the rest alone.

                                                                              We, the people of the United States


Tragedies


It is sad that it takes a tragedy to see how a President will respond. I saw the first two minutes of Obama’s response and nearly got sick. The insensitivity and the smugness filled the TV. I also saw George Bush’s response to the tragedy of 9-11. The difference is striking. The tragedies this nation faces are not over, but if this president responds like this every time, it will be a long four years. Anger and lashing out would not have helped anyone. However, disdain and haughtiness does not help either.

Our military has suffered a terrible loss, not only in personell, but in loss of a safety net, which should be provided by the President when he speaks about issues such as loss and suffering. The safety net is not one of material things, but one of respect and honor. Every soldier and everyone who participates in the military operations deserves our respect and honor. It is a dirty job, and since our military is volunteer, it is one in which the volunteer accepts the danger inherent in the job, but when this happened they were home, on their own base. That is why this tragedy is so unnerving. They serve so that we can work, play, and enjoy life in safety and freedom. They received a slap in the face, yesterday, November 5, by their Commander-in-Chief, and that is inexcusable.

Our perception of our military has evolved from a healthy respect, and admiration, such as when the World War 2 veterans came home, to the destructive hatred of the Vietnam veterans, to the winners and the ones who were betrayed by politicians. Now we have a new kind of betrayal. This is an insidious one, because it breaks the spirit. These brave soldiers will deploy again, to Afghanistan, and some will not come back, and they understand that, but to have someone kill some and wound many at home is not what they expected.

The other betrayal is the inaction of Hasan’s superiors even when it was known that he was becoming more and more radical in his views. Returning veterans had complained about him, but his superiors turned a blind eye. We will find more evidence of Haran’s state of mind, but it has come too late for those who died, and a nightmare for those who were wounded. For this there is no excuse. If political correctness entered into the decision not to respond to Haran’s actions, before he killed and wounded those at Fort Hood, that will be a blot on those in charge. There is too much betrayal beginning with the Commander-in-Chief going on, and it had better stop. The American people are not willing to put up with all this corruption, political correctness, and betrayal of our military any more. It is time to rebuild our military, support our military, and protect the citizens of this great nation from acts of terrorism. Protect our borders, protect our nation.

Under Obama’s Flag


What is a flag? It is a banner under which armies march, going forth into battle against the enemy. Our senators and representatives are marching under his flag, and the enemy is the citizenry of the United States. Not every senator or representative is marching under his flag, but enough of them are, and are poised to destroy this nation. Obama’s flag looks very much like that of the United Nations flag, only worse. His flag is the color of blood, with white and green stripes, and a dragon on its seal. The blood is the killing of our liberty and freedom, the white is the tears flowing because we are the slaves of our own government, and the green is the color of the environmental movement taking their vengeance on everyone who disagrees with them. The whole flag is the flag of the world government that has taken over our nation because President Obama signed over our sovereignty to a world government which has the power to punish this once great land if we don’t pay reparation to every other country because we use too many resources to run our economy. We are taxed at 2% of our GDP and we will soon be the third world country we are supposed to repay. President Obama has forfeited our sovereignty so he can be a king in the world system. Unfortunately, kingships in the system are short-lived. This nation will survive only if the citizens stand up now, and be counted. If President Obama succeeds in turning this nation into his dream, it will become our nightmare. He and those who surround him have a dream, which they see as the Ultimate State. It envolves taking over every aspect of our lives. Healthcare is not about helping the poor American get a doctor, or a hospital, it is about who will control the healthcare system in America. Cap and Trade is not about energy independence, it is about who will control our power grids, and the diversity of our radio, and television, is not about our right to hear and see what we desire, but to shut down those who oppose him and his policies. It is all about who has the power, and if Obama and those surrounding him have things their way, they will hold it all. Those who are trying to pass these bills are those who desire to control our lives. They envision a world where they have ultimate authority over everything just like the pigs in the book, Animal Farm, by George Orwell. He knew something about Socialism, and Fascism, having grown up under Stalin. If we, the United States, fall into the hands of tyrants, we will see bitter days ahead. Once that happens only God will be able to help us, and He will, if we ask. He is the only one who loves us enough to help us in times of trouble. He will be the only one left to turn to, and He will be waiting for us with arms open wide.

Obama’s flag is dripping with the blood of patriots, and if we want to remain free, and enjoy our God-given rights, we will have to continue to continue our fight for freedom and liberty with diligence and vigilence. So let us continue to continue our battle for the soul of America. It is the only way we will win the battle. Victory is within our grasp, but people will have to step up, become the voice of freedom, and run the race which leads to a place in history. Run against those who desire to destroy our nation, become the representative of the people, with a listening ear, and a humble heart, a servant of the people, for the people, voted in by the people, and from the people. Be the voice of the people, not the voice against the people. Those who take office after this next election are the heart of the people who elect them, and if that heart is broken, watch out.


Our Soon President-King


In an effort to become a king in the new world order President Obama will attend the Copenhagen Conference on Global Warming.  Even though the temperature has dropped for the last eleven years, there is an urgency about this meeting, according to Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of England, He says we have less than 50 years before disaster strikes the world. However, since weather people can’t predict what the temperature will be in ten days, I don’t know how they know what will happen in 50 years.

The conference is not so much about global warming as it is about power and a world government ruling over the sovereignty of every nation which signs the treaty. President Obama is desirous to sign it because he is a citizen of the world, and the first to sign it will be the most applauded, and he likes that. He will sign our sovereignty away without blinking an eye.

The other shoe will drop when by signing the treaty we will be required to make reparations for our use of the worlds resources. We will have to repay every country billions of dollars for abusing their air, and taking their opportunities for growth away. This will be because we have been a powerful nation, economically, and they aren’t. Anyone will be able to seek reparations whether they have been a country for ten years or a thousand.

The only way we can stop this will be to convince our Senators that this treaty is wrong, and our sovereignty is more important than global warming. Then we have an opportunity to show them how much we would end up paying out to third world countries who hate us enough to rob us blind. Our economy would be in shambles, and our treasury would be even more in debt. Besides all that we would have to pay taxes to the world government, besides our federal taxes and state and local taxes. We, as the people of the United States, oppose any world government trying to muscle in on our nation.

We must make sure the Blue Dog Democrats understand what is at stake in this treaty. We must let our Senators know that our sovereignty is not for sale, rent, or anything else. If this treaty is signed and passed, there is no turning back. We are stuck with it until Jesus comes. Obama and his cronies want a one world government, because they think they will be leaders in it, but they are wrong. The strongman in this scene is the European Union, and they might like us to our face, but watch out for the knife in the other hand. President Obama has already said he wants America to be under the United Nations, which houses every nation that dispises us, and desires us to fall so they can kick us while we are down. Let us demand that our Senators listen, and vote for our sovereignty to stay ours.

Things Our Founding Fathers Wouldn’t Do


It seems to be a terrible thing to teach our children, in school, or at home, what the founding fathers would or would not do. George washington and Thomas Jefferson used the treasury to place chaplains in the army. That is something schools won’t be teaching. Thomas Jefferson used treasury money to send missionaries to the Indian tribes. You won’t hear that in schools either. George Washington had army chaplains as early as 1777. He felt they were a great asset to keeping the military in a peacable state. Thomas Jefferson was a big proponent of chaplains in the military and missionaries to the Indians. THINGS THOMAS JEFFERSON DID AS PRESIDENT Among other things Thomas Jefferson included, among other things, supporting government
involvement in: Legislative AND Military Chaplains====Establishing a national seal using a religious symbol. Including the word “God” in our national motto=====Official days of Fasting and Prayer–at least on the state level=====Punishing Sabbath breakers (is that real enough to convince you he was not an atheist?)=====Punishing marriages contrary to biblical law====Punishing irreverent soldiers Protecting the property of churches====Requiring oaths saying “So Help Me God,” taken on the Bible Granting land to Christian churches to reach the Indians ====Granting land to Christian Schools Allowing Government property and facilities to be used for worship. Using the Bible and non-denominational religious instruction in the public schools. (He was involved  in three different school districts and the plan in each one of these
REQUIRED that the Bible be taught in our public schools.)====Allowing clergymen to hold public office,
and encouraging them to do so. Purchasing and stocking religious books for public libraries.=====Funding of salaries of clergymen in Indian Mission schools====Funding for construction of church buildings for Indians. Exempting churches from taxation====Establishing professional schools
of theology. (He wanted to bring over from Geneva, Switzerland, the entire faculty of Calvin’
theological and establish it at the University of Virginia.)====Treaties requiring other nations to
guarantee religious freedom. Including religious speeches and prayers in official ceremonies.
Its to bad he isn’t around to help the ACLU isn’t it. The whole question of seperation of Church and State has been a myth since it was first introduced in 1954. The point Thomas Jefferson was trying to bring forth in his letter to the Danbury Baptists was that the State would not interfere with there religious practices, or have a State religion like the European nations did. The point was not to seperate the State from religion. The first amendment backs him up by saying the government shall not pass repecting the establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof. We have become a nation of seperators rather than includers. If we are convinced that this statement, even though false, is the law of the land, what else can we be convinced of. History, if truthfully told, reveals a totally different story than what is being taught in school. We, as Americans, have lost so much of our history through revisionist historicism, and we are ignorant of the truth. Our founding fathers would not tolerate any ignorance of history, or the Bible, or any other classic work. We have developed a whole class of people who have no knowledge of anything beyond their eyeballs. They know what they can see, and some not even that. There is no understanding of who we are as a nation. If we lose a whole generation, who will teach the children who we are and whose we are. How will they know the greatness of this nation, when they don’t even know how this nation’s government works, or how they can avoid the same problems other generations have had to overcome. We are in a financial crisis now because those in authority do not understand that what they are trying to do didn’t work before. Our founding fathers would not forfeit freedom for convenience or allow someone to monopolize power, because they had just fought a war to extricate this nation from under the thumb of a tyrant. They purposely set the government up to protect this nation from such a thing ever happening. However that preservation was predicated on the high education levels of the next generation, and the continued religious activity of its citizens. A strong Christian heritage was of utmost importance to the founding fathers, because they knew that if the level of religious ferver left this nation it would fall for the first person who would promise them everything free. So, now where does that place us today? This nation has fallen for someone who promised it everything for nothing, but will cost us everything, including our freedom.

There is no doubt that we are headed for disaster unless the madness is turned around. If we allow our government to destroy itself, we will be in the same boat as George Washington was when he crossed the Deleware River, frozen and sick with no possiblity of victory without Divine intervention. He prayed, before that journey, that God would bless the campaign with victory. Does it seem strange that a General of the Army would pray such a prayer, especially in 1777? If that same predicament were to happen now I’m not so sure it would occur. We have given God second or even third place in our lives. We tend to try everything else first before we even think of prayer. Our founding fathers would not allow governmental interference in private affairs, and business. They would expect you to pay taxes however. Big business was not an issue, but private business, such as farming, printing, markets, and banks were privately owned and privately run, without much intrusion by government, except to pay taxes, of course. We have a government which routinely interferes with private businesses, interferes in private lives through nanny state laws, and imposes regulations on everything from a to z. Now the government wants to control the whole media industry from the newspapers to the internet. Through the FCC President Obama and his cronies want to control our freedom of speech by regulating our media outlets. If they don’t like what is being said about them, or if we disagree with them they want the power to shut us down. Our freedom of speech, and the press are rights endowed by our Creator, and this government does not have the authority to shut anything down, or punish someone just because they don’t capitulate to their will. That is tyranny, and is unconstitutional, and even treasonous.

We are required to be watchmen on the wall, searching for enemies without and enemies within. We must be diligent and without bias. We are not out to get those who simply oppose us, we are looking for those who would destroy us. We must raise the trumpet and sound the alarm when danger tyranny raises its ugly head. We cannot abandon the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that our founding fathers, in their wisdom, wrote down for our safety. If we fail we risk enslavement to a subversive system of radical idealogues, attempting to impose a system of government that leads to the death of our democratic federal republic, and our constitution. Time is of the essence and our resolve is needed. Don’t give up without a fight.  


Dear Mr. President


Why are you so hell-bent on destroying America? We, the people you say you love, want an America where we are free to live, love, and work without government interference. We want our government to help us by remaining small, defending our borders, and defending our nation. We do not want our government running every aspect of our lives. Why are you trying to ruin our economy, and ruin the best healthcare system in the world? We, the people, don’t want government taking control of our future chances for economic freedom. We also don’t want government telling us how much money we can make, or pushing our energy bills, and taxes into the stratosphere. We don’t need protection from climate, nor do we need government interference in our carbon footprints. You are becoming more of a problem than a solution, because you think big government is the answer to everything. It is not the answer, it is the problem. Government has no place in anything other than defending our borders, which you are not doing, defending our nation against outside enemies, and creating a safe America through the justice department. The role of government at the federal level was the last, and least form of government in the Constitution because the people come first, then the local governments, the state, then lastly the federal government. The reason for that was so that tyrants could not inflict power over the citizenry. You, however, have chosen to ignore the very Constitution you took an oath to uphold, and destroy everything our founding fathers held dear. I would suggest you read and study the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, then read George Washington’s 1796 farewell address. You might just learn something. You, being a constitutional lawyer should be ashamed of your self for trying to destroy the very document that made America great.

Why are you trying to destroy us, as a nation, by signing a treaty that would effectively renounce our sovereignty, placing u under the control of the United Nations, the European Union, and every other country in the world who hates us? Are you crazy or what? We, the people of the United States do not want our nation’s sovereignty abolished. We are a sovereign nation and we want to remain a sovereign nation. If you want to live in the rest of the world so be it, but don’t destroy America in the process. If you hate America so much, go live somewhere else. We, the people, are the ones who get to decide whether we want America to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. You and your cohorts in congress, and your socialist advisors can go live in some other country, if you don’t like ours. We, the people are sick and tired of you and your cohorts trying to destroy our nation, our constitution, and our healthcare system. We, the people are sick and tired of you and your cohorts spending our children’s and grandchildren’s money to destroy this nation’s economy. We, the people, are sick and tired you and your cohorts, claiming to be protecting our environment so you can usurp more power for yourselves and your cronies. Mr. President, how dare you attempt to transform this wonderful democratic federal republic into a socialist state. We, the people don’t want any part of your socialist state, and we don’t want you graft, your collusion, or your Chicago style, corrupt form of government.
We, the people, demand our rights, which were endowed by our Creator to be protected. We, the people, want freedom of reilgion, not freedom from religion, freedom of speech, not freedom from speech, freedom to bear arms, not freedom from bearing arms, freedom of the press, not government run press, freedom of redress of grievances, not being brutalized by the government if we don’t agree with your policies. This government did not give us those rights and freedoms, and you, as the government do not have the right to take them away. Your attempt to control the press, and to punish those who disagree with you is totally against the constitution, and therefore treasonous. You are attempting to centralize and control every aspect of the broadcast and newspaper industry, and that flies in the face of the rights and freedoms we, the people, have enjoyed for over 200 years. You have no right to take that right away. You have no right to transform this great nation into a dictatorship. We, the people will not stand by and see our nation destroyed by you and your cohorts. There is no excuse for you to turn this great nation into a bananna republic. We, the people are awake now, and we are watching your every move. We have watchmen on the wall, searching the horizon, watching for the enemy, even the enemy close to home. We, the people, are not willing to see our nation destroyed from inside our borders. We, the people, will win the fight, because there are more of us than there are of you.   

                                                                           Signed,

                                                                                                   WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES


Restoration and Reformation of Insurance Companies


With the growing population of uninsured and underinsured there is a tendency for insurance companies to resign there post as the health care attenders they should be. What do I mean by health care attenders? These are the watchers who guard our lives from calamity by helping keep us afloat when a crisis occurs. When a crisis occurs we hope our insurance company will help deflect the cost of our catastrophe by paying some or all of the costs involved. Some pay into the insurance company for a long period of time only to be disappointed due to the insurance not covering the catstrophe, only paying a small amount. Even at 1/2 to 1% of people not being paid is troubling. Having dealt with insurance companies, I can relate to the reluctance of those companies to pay for services they cover. One example is receiving money due when a doctor bill is in the mailbox, or having a doctor on their staff examine you and declare you healed even though the pain is still at 8 out of 10 so they don’t have to pay for services rendered. 

President Obama talks about choice and competition while invoking an insurance scheme wherein no choice or competition is present. If choice and competition were his goal, he would open up the competition for insurance companies to compete across state lines, especially in health care. He would also allow groups of small businesses to buy healthcare insurance together. When companies have to compete with many companies across the nation added benefits will come into play because in order to compete more and better benefits must be offered. The government needs to stay out of the way of the war of befefits that would ensue. In fact, government should stay completely out of insurance. Customer service would also improve because if one company is stingy with their benefits, someone else will come along and offer more, and offer faster service. The only thing government needs to watch is collusion, making sure insurance companies don’t conspire to only pay a certain amount across the board. When that happens competition dies.

The restoration and reformation of insurance companies begins with giving them the tools to lower their costs, and improving the playing field so that competition can flourish. The tools necessary for that include options for consumers such as; health savings accounts, portability, service oriented insurance policies, catastrophic insurance, wherein the healthy individual pays for his or her own doctor visits, but has catastrophic health insurance for the day when something untoward happens, either as an accident, or a disease such as cancer, or heart attack etc. Tax breaks for those who need health insurance but cannot afford it can also be given. There are many way to give incentives to insurance companies without throwing the baby out with the bath water.

It is not necessary to completely overhaul the health care system of America, unless, of course, the only thing you seek is power. The health care bills now being considered do not offer any real reforms, they just transfer the power of the healthcare system to government control. This is a violation of each citizens civil rights, and the federal system of government founded by our forefathers. These bills transfer the authority of government to the national government, which is unconstitutional, and even worse unconscionable. This healthcare bill takes the role of our federal government, which was designed to have the least power, and flips that design on its head making the federal government the ultimate power. It is a coup which replaces the true arbiters of this nations’s power, WE THE PEOPLE, with the abominable egalitarian form of government. This has been the plan all along. We have people in power right now who despise the federal republic and prefer the autocratic and even the despotic form of government. When Chavez, Castro, and Mao, are the people you want to emulate, something wicked this way comes. This healthcare bill is just the first step to the destruction of this nation, its Constitution, and the Bill of Rights we all enjoy.

It is only right that we the people fight against the policies that those in power want to foist upon us. Therefore let us not waver in our intent to keep our freedom and liberty. This bill is an abomination, therefore let us fight for the righrt to be heard, and speak through our votes and our Tea Parties, and our petitions of redress until we can vote these tyrants out of office. We must stay vigilant and we can do this.


Restoration and Reformation of Poetic License


Why am I trying to restore and reform a simple thing like poetic license when there is so much trouble in this nation? Poetic license is an outgrowth of freedom of speech. In order to have poetic license there must be a possibliity of speaking or writing without the thought police and the fear traders grabbing the limelight by denouncing the poet as an evil troublemaker, or worse, an enemy of the State. The first amendment grants every individual the right of free speech. No doubt some speech is offensive to some, or even many, but is that speech, however obnoxious, forbidden by the first amendment? Common decency is the key to stopping the flow of obnoxious and offensive language, and that can only be taught by parents, at home. A little soap in the mouth of a two year old does wonders. No child has to speak obnoxiously, and no adult needs to speak that way either. It just isn’t necessary. If a person doesn’t have any more vocabulary that obnoxious, or indecent words to say then they probably don’t need to say anything at all until they can find something important to say. It also make that person look smarter too, even if they aren’t. Common decency has nothing to do with freedom of speech, because the speech is voluntarily stopped. The problem comes when the government, in a fit of Victorianism decides to take away our rights. Now the issue changes from common decency to violation of rights. Poetic license is thrown out the door because someone desires to squelch everyone’s rights to stop one person from offending someone who cries wolf, like the boy who cried wolf, even though no wolf was present, finally no one came and the wolf ate him. When the government becomes the arbiter of our rights, we are in a position of slavery, because when the government decides what rights and priviledges we have, rather than protecting the rights we naturally have, we are brought into subservience to the State, rather than being free, and enjoying the liberties guaranteed by our Creator. If government becomes the arbiter of our rights, they also have the authority to take them away. However, our Constitution concretely states that our rights are God given, not government given.

Poetic license is a major factor in our society because we like to tell stories and entertain our neighbors and friends with tales if daring do. That is where we began as a people. We told stories to pass along our history and teach our children who they are. We still tell our stories about our family history and put there lives in a historical context. We also use storytelling to relate our religious views and the spiritual makeup of our family to the next generation. Life cannot be imparted to the next generation unless we tell them about the past, and their part in the history of that past. However, it is very important to include all of history and not the revised history our children are taught in school. Lying about our past, as a nation, is wrong, and so indecent as to be compared to robbing our children of a very expensive treasure. Our past history is the basis of our democracy and the robbery of that treasure is not only insulting to all of us, but it is a treasonous act on the part of those who write the history books for the school systems in America. History, good or bad is important to learn, and trying to change history because you don’t like aspects of it is an act so vial as to be an act of treason. There is a difference between poetic license and stealing a person’s historical past to further an agenda of cleansing the past of anything you don’t agree with, or to cover up our nation’s Christian heritage. That is a case of denying a person the truth for a cause, such as freedom from religion, rather than freedom of religion, as stated in the Constitution. We must be diligent and protect our rights. If the government is able to take away one right, they will be able then to take all of them away. We have nearly lost our freedom of religion because no one deems it an important right, but if it goes, what will be next? The restoration of poetic license is an important project. It is one project we can’t afford to allow to fail. The dominoes are lined up and one flick of the finger may just begin the toppling of the rights we hold dear. We simply can’t allow our government to topple those dominoes, because if we do we will be the ones who suffer most. We are strong and we are the ones who hold the key to power at the moment. Let us not become weary, because the alternative is not a good one. We can do this!!
