Health Care is Getting Scarier!

It's worse than you thought. This is why so many are upset about this quagmire called Health Care Reform that President Barack Obama wants to Rahm-rod through congress (Rahm Emanuel is White House Chief of Staff).

Morningstar Ministries' Rick Joyner is all up-in-arms about this. Read his entire denunciation of this bill here.

He says, "This is not about money or government mismanagement—this is about something far more diabolical than that. As incomprehensible as it may seem, this is about euthanasia, the power to determine who lives or dies in America. Hitler and Stalin would have loved to have had a means such as this for dispatching the millions they killed—it would have made their job much easier, and probably given them the ability to kill many more than they did. THIS BILL IS THAT SINISTER. This is not a joke—this is actually the nature of what is being proposed in the National Health Care legislation, and it is the obvious reason why the Obama Administration wants to ram it through Congress before anyone gets a chance to read it."

Joyner also explains why he, a Christian, would speak out against this bill, despite the cost of losing status as one who thinks the best of everyone: "after reading the brief on this health care bill, I don’t see how anyone could not see that there is profound evil and evil intent at work here."


He goes onto to list the various items hidden in the thousand-plus-page bill -- that most of your representatives may not read!:

Pg 59 HC Bill lines 21-24 Government will have direct access to your banks accounts for electronic funds transfer.

Pg 170 Lines 1-3 Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes (Americans will pay).

Pg 203 Line 14-15 HC - “The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax.” Yes, it says that.

PG 430 Lines 11-15 The government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.

Pg 770 SEC 1714 Federal Government mandates eligibility for State Family Planning Services. Abortion and State Sovereign.

This is too critical and bizarre to actually be happening in our country and with a segment of the population attracted to this.

BLUE DOG DEMOCRATS
As of this writing, the so-called Blue Dog Democrats, who up until now were resistant to the bill, have now conceded that they will support the bill. I believe the only caveat is that they will not submit the bill until they come back from summer recess. That means we have up until this September-October to storm your senators and congressmen to stop this bill!

If you are as disturbed about this administration's mad quest for socialized health care, then go to this website and write/call/email your representatives here.
Also, try to find out when the next town meeting your politicians will be conducting and be there and voice your concerns!

I called up my local representative and immediately got put on a list for a "phone" town call meeting.

At Least He's Honest! -- for a Politician!

Why the Media Uproar Over Sarah?

Sometimes you watch the news and scratch your head. Why in the world are the liberals so agitated over conservative Sarah Palin? Every time she makes a move, liberal commentators self-destruct in their vociferous opposition of her.

The secret of the matter was voiced perfectly by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. He perfectly explains here the psychological reasons behind the unprecedented anger.


Sarah personifies everything that the left abhors: a pro-life, conservative-feminist who is able to connect with the public in a way that most career politicians could only hope to attain. The fact that she's a strong believer in God, and practices what she preaches, only irritates them further. She is clearly a threat to the liberal agenda of more government control over our lives.

And isn't it telling, that as this blog stated when Palin resigned as Alaska governor, that she is positioning herself to speak out against the present administration. In her farewell address, she gave a number of great "campaign-speech" lines, including this one on overreaching government control.




Sarah is modern-day Esther.

What Would Reagan Do?

I was shocked the other week when I heard Vice President Joe Biden make this incredible statement about how to get out of debt! -- HE SAYS TO SPEND MORE!






Now can you imagine if a conservative had made that remark? The liberal press would have destroyed him and his mother and his dog!

Economics 101 states unequivocally that when you're in huge debt, you need to limit spending. Every American householder knows that.

So, I don't understand why something like this is largely unnoticed. But let's see how past presidents dealt with a failing economy.


Ronald Reagan, 40th President (1981-1989), reared up in the Christian faith by his bible-believing mother, faced similar problems in the 80's as we're facing today. When he came into office, he inherited a slew of social horrors: high oil prices, recession, high unemployment, global terrorism.

Same as Barack Obama.

On the economy, the Obama administration believes that to get out of economic problems, you need to throw more money at it -- thus, creating a national debt of trillions of dollars to be shouldered by generations yet to be born.

The "don't-read-this-just-pass-this" Stimulus Bill signed by the President earlier this year has done little to solve unemployment and our economic problems. (The bill was later analyzed to disproportionately favor Obama-supporting areas and concerns in the United States. Imagine that! See here.)

But what did Reagan do when faced with economic woes? He cut taxes across the board, which literally brought about the longest-sustained, post-war economic boom -- which lasted until the end of the Bush II Administration. Even democratic administrations benefited from the upturn.

Tax cuts stimulated the economy. Today, our mindset is to tax more. There's even more rhetoric coming out of the White House that suggests another "stimulus" bill must be passed (to do what the first couldn't do, perhaps?).

I only hope we can learn from our history. Thankfully many Americans are waking up and resisting Congress' blinding speed to throw more money into the projected health care bill.

Make no mistake. What was initially derided by the press as "Reaganomics" -- really worked! For this and many other reasons, Reagan was my favorite president. And don't forget his affable rapport and humor? I always have a smile on my face when I recall this famous line from his debate with democrat Walter Mondale.

Turn Passivity into Prophecy

My friends and I had a great time last night at a Graham Cooke meeting at Calvary Tabernacle Church in Cranford, New Jersey.

Cooke, a prophet-teacher who wrote the book Developing Your Prophetic Gifting, gave an extraordinary message on turning passivity into prophecy, about turning problems into destiny, about taking possession of what God has promised in your life -- and to do that not as a one-time deal, but as a way of life -- forever!

That message can be downloaded here.

Sarah Palin: You Haven't Seen the End of Her!


Former Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin artifully spoke on reasons for her resignation as Alaska governor two days ago. If you read the text, you'll find that she answered without answering -- brilliantly!

She is articulate and capable of speaking extemporaneously (without teleprompters!!) and from the heart -- like no other politician! She is definitely able to connect with people, to get her point across and to let it go deep into one's soul. But in analyzing what she said and why she said it (or not said), I've come to the conclusion that she is preparing a run for the presidency in 2012.

Look! She couldn't come right out and state that she's preparing for the presidency right now! This is way too soon. She'd be trashed in the press daily and kneecapped way before the official start of the presidential campaign got underway.

She hinted in her speech that she has been inundated with frivolous lawsuits from "nobodies" (my term! actually, some are just bloggers!). And as governor, she could sustain these lawsuits alright and maintain her position as Governor. But is it advantageous for a presidential candidate to campaign nationally while facing ongoing frivolous lawsuits as Governor in Alaska? -- which would only escalate as her presidential ambition becomes evident.

No candidate wants to face an ongoing onslaught of frivolous ethics complaints that would stymie her candidacy with bad publicity and divide her time to campaign. Because normal rules of restraint by critics and the media do not seem to apply when attacking Sarah Palin and her family, then maybe it's justifiable that her defense (ie, resigning) is also beyond the traditional.

By the way, while a few lawsuits may still be pending, most of them have been dismissed.

Now her intentions are hinted at in Palin's latest Facebook entry. She says, "I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint."

It appears that Palin will be conducting a campaign to address these issues on a national scale. That can easily be done by personal appearances, book tour stops, TV appearances and/or TV show.

This new season in Palin's life can jump-start a national groundswell support she needs to be propelled into office.

Have you noticed, by the way, that each of the points outlined above are strategic counterpoints to ultra-liberal positions posed by President Obama.

  • less government intervention
  • greater energy independence
  • stronger national security
  • much-needed fiscal restraint
She's already articulated her campaign talking points! And, they counter Obama's! As Sarah has said, "all I can ask is that you TRUST me with this decision." I believe, as she said, she's "not retreating, but advancing in another direction." I believe that's the presidency.

Godspeed, Sarah!

Sarah Palin for 2012!

Startling Political News Today! Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, resigned from her office. I hope that she's preparing a run for the 2012 Presidency!

Sarah Palin
is the most articulate spokesperson for conservative principles since Ronald Reagan. The republican party is presently in total disarray. They lost the election last time around because they shunned conservatism. Most of the country identifies themselves as conservative!

Wake up Republican Party!

Just wait till she runs for President -- we're talking landslide status.

May the Republican Party stop shooting its own, and get behind her for 2012.
