Chuck Norris

There is no such thing as a theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures that Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

What an honor, or What the crap...

By now, everybody knows that President Barak Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

What the crap?? What has this guy done to deserve the Peace Prize? I suppose people have been miraculously healed just by passing under his shadow. Maybe it's for all those thrills going up people's legs.

Come on. Are we supposed to believe that Obama is more worthy than Mahatma Gandhi???

September remembrances

Anybody else find it odd that President Obama could make it to New York City for the anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, but couldn't make it for the 8th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attack?

Health Care reform.

I just watched the President's press conference tonight about health care reform, and I learned something about myself I didn't know. Apparently, I am an evil scumbag who just wants to take tonsils out just to make myself rich. Bad doctor.

Also, a reporter asked the big O if he would go on the record and promise that the government would NEVER deny a patient a service and that those types of services would only be decided by the patient & their Doctor. He also asked the president if he and the rest of the gubment would go on the Public option as being offered.

I was shocked that Mr Obama wouldn't answer either question. Must be because, A- you most certainly will be denied care just because some bureaucrat says so, and B- no way in hell will the Looters in DC be forced to take the crappy socialized coverage.

the Death of the Physician

Currently, the health care reform bills before Congress are 1000+ pages long. Obviously no one is going to be able to read this monstrosity before it is voted on.

However, a few pages have been brought to my attention, and I thought I'd pass them on. I believe this bill will be the death of the American physician.

Page 461 states that mid level providers (i.e. nurse practitioner) will be placed in charge of “a patient centered medical home.”

Page 463 states that primary care will be defined as being provided by either a physician or a midlevel.

Page 480 defines a primary care provider as “a physician or other health care practitioner (including a nurse practitioner) who specializes in family medicine, general internal medicine, geriatrics, or obstetrics and gynecology.”

And page 778 describes how midlevels will be paid the same as physicians for providing care.

So what this seems to say to me is that, as a primary care provider, I wasted my time going to medical school for 4 years and then on to 3 years of residency. I racked up $120,000+ of debt for nothing. I should have just gone to nursing school and I could have saved a fortune.

Is Health Care a Right?

A “right” is something to which a person is entitled to just because they exist. It is nothing they can earn. It is not provided by whatever form of government under which they live. It applies to all people equally, no matter their color, religion, sex, age, economic status or number of extremities. It is nothing that can lawfully be taken away. It is something that cannot be denied to them.

If healthcare is a “right”, then the government cannot limit one’s access to it. Just like government cannot limit their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. How else can this be done then by trampling on the “rights” of the health care provider? How else can the government tell people they have the right to health care without saying to their physician, “You have no right to your own mind, to your own thoughts, to your own actions”?

“I deserve health care. I want health care, and I want it free. It is my right. And I want it now,” is what people are saying.

With the right to life, no one is required to feed them, clothe them, and provide them shelter. The right to the pursuit of happiness is not a guarantee that anybody else will make you happy or even try to. Nothing is imposed on anybody but yourself. But the right to health care, by definition, must impose a duty on other people to satisfy your own needs; they have no choice in the matter. Their right to anything at another’s expense makes that other person rightless. Their “right” to health care makes the physician a slave to the desires of others.

Consumer Confidence CNN Crok

On June 30, 2009, CNN anchor Christing Romans did her best to brainwash the viewers.

She stated " We've seen a spring stock market rally that has been quite incredible! Job losses are slowing! Consumer confidence is improving! People are feeling a little better. They're feeling better because they're spending less. They're saving more money. They're getting back to basics. There's a new frugality that's making them feel better. "

Sounds awesome, doesn't it?

Except for one small detail. That same day, the Consumer Confidence Index fell significantly.

Too bad Ms Romans didn't actually get this news before she made a fool of herself.

What the ....

When will people wake up and see how dangerous this is? The editor of Newsweek magazine is seen here calling Obama "God" and Chris Matthews in gleeful agreement. This was broadcast on the show "hardball" on June 6, 2009. Shameful.

Socialism creeping down to local government

Our local utility department has recently begun a "round up contribution" campaign to aide a local charity. Without notifying me, last month they began to round up my bill to the nearest dollar. I didn't notice it then.

Today, when I opened up my statement, I thought it strange that, for 2 months in a row my utility bill ended in $xx.00. So I called them up, and they said that the City government authorized them to begin taking the "contribution" for the local charity.

What the crap?

How in the heck can I "contribute" when I have never been asked? I never authorized this. They stated that if we didn't want to "help out" we were to notify them.

So, as of today, I am no longer having this money stolen from me. Is it a lot of money? No. But if I want to "contribute" to charity (which I do to a tune of over 15% of my income yearly), I will choose the specific charity and how much to give.

Socialism in Western TN at work.

Stem cells may cure diabetes

A new study shows that there might actually be a cure for Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes. Using stem cells! Unfortunately for progressives, the cells are adult stem cells, not embryonic.

Researchers in Brazil have shown that by using a diabetic's own bone marrow to harvest ADULT stem cells,and then injecting them back into the same patient, 50% of the diabetics were still not requiring insulin injections- after almost 3 years!

So once again, science has shown that stem cells indeed may offer miracle cures. And once again, it is adult stem cells, not embryonic cells, to the rescue. Why do people keep denying this fact and insist on destroying embryos?

Government Charity

When Indonesia was devastated by a tsunami in 2004, private American citizens gave millions of dollars towards recovery.

Now, 1n 2009, Italy has experienced a massive earthquake. Just to the north of Rome. Entire towns have been destroyed. Over 100 people killed, thousands now homeless. Priceless medieval buildings lie in ruins. And all the US Government can do is give $50,000.


True, Italy is not Indonesia. And President Obama did offer rescue teams, which the Italian government turned down. But $50,000 seems more like an insult than an offer of aid. Especially in light of the gazillions being offered to AIG, GM, etc.

Your taxes are going up, in spite of what he said...

"I can make a firm pledge," then presidential-candidate Barack Obama said on Sept. 12,2008, in Dover, New Hampshire. "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."

"Any form...". Humm.

Well, that's not what's happening. Starting today, the taxes on tobacco have skyrocketed. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm all for enticing people to stop smoking. And of course, the money is going to help children. Who can be against that, right? Unfortunately, the vast majority of smokers make less than $250,000/year.

A disproportionate number of lower-income-bracket people smoke; they are the ones that Mr Obama said he would help by not raising their taxes.

So, Mr Obama, would you care to revise your Sept 12,2008, statement?

AIG fiasco...and worse

I am appalled and disgusted by AIG in giving out $165 million in bonuses, especially after they came groveling to the federal government for bailout money. However, I am also very concerned about Congress’ response to this travesty.


Our founding fathers knew what it was like to live under a totalitarian regime that could, and frequently did, single out individuals for punishment by confiscatory measures. The Framers of our Constitution realized that for America to truly be a free country, they would have to ensure that the government could not pass any laws singling out specific peoples for pecuniary punishment. Also, they realized that Americans could not truly have liberty if they could be punished by ex post facto laws. That is exactly what this Congress has done. The House has passed a law that they want to be applied retroactively! This is clearly unconstitutional, based on Article 1, section 9, of the US Constitution.

So while I personally will never try to do business with AIG or is subsidiaries, I also think it’s too late to do anything about it. Maybe if the Looters in Washington had actually READ THE FRICKIN' “stimulus” bill before they signed it, they would have known this could have happened; then they could have legally done something about it.

Happy St Patrick's Day

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I've been waiting my whole life for this...

Finally, the movie that I've been waiting for my entire life...

How disgusting

For the second time, Democrats are gleeful that our country's situation is going down the toilet. First, Rahm Emanuel jokingly stated that Democrats should "Never let a serious crisis go to waste" (Nov 2008)

Now, Mrs Clinton has jumped on the "celebrate the destruction of America" bandwagon. She was speaking to the European Parliament yesterday and told the crown of gathered socialists, "Never waste a good crisis" when describing the current economic state.

I pray that the hard working people in this country wake up and see these disgusting Looters for the scumbags that they really are. The Producers in our society must rise up and demand change from the Looters in DC. Without us, the Moochers would have no welfare, unemployment, medicaid, etc. I pray that the Moochers realize that the governmental Looters to not really care about them; Looters only care about the power they get from taking what doesn't belong to them and giving it to others.

A majority of Americans voted for "Change" this past election. Well, people, be careful what you wish for.

Atlas may be shrugging soon.

Don't expect the government to help you...

Here an excerpt from an editorial by Ben Stein:

"You have been -- you are now -- bombarded every day with TV shows, radio news, and newspapers telling you of this government support plan and that government support plan and how they are going to rescue you. To which I can only say, when you hear the word ‘government,' in your mind, substitute the words ‘Department of Motor Vehicles.' When was the last time they rescued you? When was the last time they bailed you out of anything at all?"

"...But to expect that ‘government' is a fairy godmother who will rescue you from your problems over any long period is just fantasy. Here's the good news: This country will be rescued by each of us doing what we can do in our own individual sphere of action as government works in its sphere of action. There are roughly 142 million men and women in the labor force. Their ingenuity, flexibility, energy, and confidence will make more difference than anything government does on an individual basis...In the free society, we rescue ourselves "
