Your Government HARD at work.

This is what we are currently paying our government to do each day. Really?

Whole Foods is bad, really?

Here's a comment I left for the Whole Foods Boy-cotters.

Sad part about this little blurb that gets posted, they left some key information out. The CtW Investment Group works with pension funds sponsored by unions affiliated with Change to Win, a federation of unions representing nearly 6 million members. In the current health bill, the unions will not be forced to pay for their health care and the regular working public will pick up the majority of the tab.

Of course they want this guy gone. Anyone that has a free thought and is willing to actually speak their mind is a horrible horrible person. It is not beneficial for the unions not to get this deal, therefore, it is not beneficial for CtW. Whole Foods doesn't need the government health care since they are willing to work with their employees and take care of them, but that doesn't matter. They have a model that works, Mackay is providing valid alternatives that Liberals in Congress keep saying that no one is providing.

My question to you. Are you boycotting Whole Foods and dempnizing this man for his opinion because you don't agree with the information or just because you were told that you needed to? Think for yourself and read for yourself, media and government will never tell you the whole truth.

Update for August 19th

So, Halliburton was bad, but how about $24 million to Axelrod's media company for health care ads?

Guns at a protest? Not last week, in Texas in 2000 by the Black Panthers, but that's OK.

Now for this week, the gunman was black???? But I thought it was only white, un-american, nazis that were protesting.

My "Facts" are checked better than your "Facts", and by the way your FACTS are wrong. "Fact checking", the new "synergy", "out-of-the-box", "group-think".

Factcheck.org, yet they only look at the wording, not the impact. That's the issue.

And factcheck.org would never get anything wrong, right?

And now it's time to try and intimidate the insurers and get them to shut up. Chicago politics at it's finest.

Oh, the mobs are "astroturf", but don't pay attention to the calls and web videos calling for BHO supporters to help.

Post office competes with FedEx and UPS. Just what we all want, long lines and unfriendly government employees running our health care.

Update from August 17th

Here are just a few interesting articles that I came across during the day today.

If the UK system is so great, why is a woman having a baby on a sidewalk?

Thousands of surgeries to be cut in Vancouver to cover budget shortfall. Yet the US won't ration health care.

Canadian health care needing an overhaul? I thought I heard that it was the model to follow?

I don't know. No we didn't. Someone else did. OK, maybe we did. White House can't make up it's mind on who sent unsolicited emails.

Some democrats want to keep government run plan, but here is the White House backing away from it. And then here's a blue dog that wants to start over.

Surprise, it wasn't some radical, un-American, mob member that made the poster. It was a college student from Chicago.

Outside of dealers not getting paid, American cars didn't even top the list of Cash for Clunkers.

Gallup poll, more conservatives in all 50 states.

I disagree, therefore I'm racist?

Today, I was planning on a post about the health care issue that we have in front of us. As I went through my day, I was then confronted about the fact of being racist due to my disagreement with the fact that POTUS would speak out without specific knowledge of an event. Also included was the fact that I do not believe that all illegal immigrants should be covered by a health care bill. Not because I don't have feelings or understanding for immigrants, my family was originally immigrants and some of my friends and their parents have just recently received their citizenship. I just want the individuals using the system to contribute their fair share. If I'm paying, my wife is paying, my grandmother is paying, so should everyone else.

So, I ask, is this racist, realist, or just honest? If there is going to be a system for all, is it wrong to expect all to pay? Legal, illegal, visa, or other, shouldn't it be required to pay into a system that you have access to?

And as for the Gates issue...

Sergeant James Crowley is brought to the forefront by BHO's comment during his primetime "press conference". "I don't know all the facts, I might be biased." Are these things that we should be hearing from our POTUS regarding a local arrest? A legal disorderly conduct arrest? Why is it that a white cop arrests a prominenet black man and it's racism, yet I see this same type of arrest on both TV and in person multiple times per month and no national news is brought in? Could it be it's a white cop and a white offender, or a black, hispanic (inset ethnicicity here) and a white (insert ethnicity other than black here) arrest? Is that the reason why there is no national coverage?

Just something to think about......

Aquaman, Questing for Atlantis: Cap-and-Trade Video

Here's another video from the Tax Foundation to help with your Cap and Trade education.

Aquaman, Questing for Atlantis: Cap-and-Trade Video

Cap your wages and Trade your job

On Friday, the House voted to proceed with the Cap and Trade (otherwise known as Crap and Tax) bill. It was passed by a narrow margin, largely in part to the multitudes of individuals that called, emailed, and faxed all of members of the House.

There are those that didn't because they don't see what the big deal is with the regulation of carbon dioxide. Especially when you have POTUS stepping out and saying how much this is going to help the US and the climate.

That being said, for those that are doubtful of the ramifications of this bill, I am putting this post together to educate and provide everyone with the ammunition to fight this bill as it goes to the senate within the next week.

Obama stating that rates would force electricity prices to skyrocket.

Today, he talks about light bulbs, appliances, and yet more regulation. But it seems to depend on what news outlet you go to as to the edits that you see. Some, like the ABC video, that are edited to make everything look good and then others that are the actual full briefing.

The ABC news edited version and the unedited version of the speech which brings up the fact that it will not bring "untenable" burdens.

A Washington Post article about the potential regulation of your light bulbs.

Obama's own information that shows his drive towards controlling the direction of oil, gas, coal, oh, and car companies too.

Blogs are written and anyone can post anything, but have you ever heard of the Wall Street Journal? Here's a link to their article. The Wall Street Journal outlines how this plan is not economically possible and that the costs to the end user, you and I, will be vastly larger than what Obama keeps telling us.

Here's another article that warns governors to be wary of cap and trade since it will have a huge negative impact on their future budgets.

Do the representatives really know what they are voting on? This article was posted just days before the vote on Cap and Trade in the house. Sp what happened the day of the vote? A 300+ page amendment was added at 3AM and a slim majority in the house voted for it. I enjoy reading, but there really isn't anyway for me to get through 300 pages in a day. Plus, as this article outlines dems are relying on a government offices budget projections, repoublicans...MIT.

Another blogger with their opinion on what will happen.

This outlines the amount each state could lose under Cap and Trade, just on electricity.

And oil companies already have plans outlining what they will do if the bill passes. Shut down plants and refineries and move production oversees. Got that information from a little outlet called Bloomberg.

And last, a small thing that was held back until after the vote by the EPA that essentially states that it's all bogus.

Now it's time for action. Either email/comment on this and tell me that I'm full of crap, or start calling your senators and letting them know that this should not pass.
