Socialised Health-Care Will Undoubtedly Lead to Mediocrity, Shortages and Rationing

I do not believe that Obama is trying to fix the health-care system. I think that Obama's goal is to increase the power, size and scope of the federal government. I believe that Obama wants to make more people dependent on the government. Socializing health care is a means to this end.

Everything that he has done since he has been in office backs up my assertion that Omama's main interest is government control, not health-care. Examples are the bailouts of GM and Chrysler, the stimulus plan, cash for clunkers, cap and trade, the appointment of 36 Czars and more.

If 47 million new people get free health care from Obama's plan, who will treat them? We will still have the same number of doctors, hospitals, nurses, clinics and medical laboratories.

Obama says that taxes won't go up, so the doctors, hospitals, nurses and clinics will have to spend less time with each patient. Health-care providers will be forced to treat more patients for the same pay. The quality of care is sure to suffer and the doctors will become overworked. Some doctors will quit and fewer people will be atracted to a medical career.There will be no other option besides rationing. If you ration needed care to elderly patients, some will call the bureaucrats that make these tough decisions "death panels".

I believe that rugged individualism is what made this country great. I believe that a "pay-as-you go" system will lead to the best doctors, who make the most money and the most profitable drug companies will produce the best medications. Without successful doctors and drug companies, we can not continue to provide the best health-care and most innovative medications on the planet. Sucess in these fields will attract many more people into these fields, thus making healthcare more available to everyone.

Health insurance should only be used for unexpected and expensive treatment. Everyday medical issues should be paid for by the patient directly. Those who can't afford to pay, or those who have chosen to spend their money on other things instead, will be taken care of by generous relatives, church groups, charities, free clinics and charity hospitals. America is the most charitable nation on earth. However, if Obama gets his way, socialized health-care will squeeze private charities, free clinics and family help out of the marketplace.

This is what Obama wants. He has stated many times he wants a single payer government health-care system. This will give the government control over one-sixth of the economy and bureaucrats, not families and doctors, will be making medical choices for us.

Socialised health-care will undoubtedly lead to mediocrity, shortages and rationing, just like Cuba, England and Canada experience. The president is trying so hard to push through a complicated and convoluted plan that will undoubtedly cost taxpayers more money and limit the quality and availability of health-care to the majority of people who are satisfied with their current plan.

I Relate To Glenn Beck Because He Is Also A Recovering Alcoholic/Addict

I can relate to Glenn Beck because he is also a recovering alcoholic/addict. He also found his recovery in the fellowship of AA/NA. He also lost everything and hit his bottom. He also came to the realization that only a higher-power could restore him to sanity.

I believe that beck puts his faith in God above all else due to his alcoholism and his second lease on life that he found in his recovery.

I believe that Beck has the courage and is willing to make sacrifices that few other journalists are capable of.

I believe that Beck is motivated by spiritual principles and not by power, property,and prestige.

I believe Beck is the only one who is truly motivated by seeking the truth and making it public. I believe that Beck is acting selflessly in an effort to restore our nation back to the principles that it was founded on.

I believe that Beck will be fearless in his relentless pursuit of the truth regardless of the personal consequences. He is willing to lose his power, fortune and fame in the process.

Once you have lost everything due to alcoholism, including your pride, your family, your money and your health, material things become unimportant. At least that is what happened to me. I think it is the same for Beck.

Communism Sounds Great In Theory

Yesterday I was having a discussion with a 22 year old woman who was explaining the virtues of communism. After her explanation, I had to agree with her that communism is a wonderful idea in theory.

However, I pointed out that communism has always resulted in economic poverty, strict control from a central government, terror, loss of freedom and the deaths of millions. However, theoretically, it is a great idea for all of the people to share in everything equally.

The reason why communism has never worked as planned is because it goes against human nature.Human nature dictates that people are most productive when they keep the fruits of their labor, rather than everyone sharing equally.

Communism removes the human motivation to strive to be the best. Communism breeds mediocrity.

Many ideas sound great in theory but are impractical in reality. High taxes on the rich is one of those ideas. It is counterproductive and will lead to "trickle down poverty".

I base my views on my personal experience, reason and common sense. http://garyganu.blogspot.com/

Why is is acceptable to gratuitously call conservatives racists?

.

Watch this latest video of Janean Gerofalo if you have a strong stomach. Garofalo: Tea Party Protesters 'Functionally Retarded Adults'; Says 'I Want My Country Back' Code for 'I Want My White Guy Back'


I believe that the people who rioted after Rodney King's trial were racists. Why didn't I hear them being called racist?

I believe that people who wanted O.J. Simpson acquitted even though they thought he was guilty were racists. Why didn't I hear them being called racist?

I think that 92 percent of black voters who voted for Obama because he is black are racists. Why don't I hear them being called racist.

I believe that President Obama is racist for linking the Gates-Crowley affair to racial profiling was racist. Why is the only man who speaks this truth, Glenn Beck, being boycotted for speaking his mind?

There is no such thing as reverse racism. Racism is making judgments based solely because of one's race.

Illegal aliens say: "We Are Taking Over America" at rally in Texas

.
.

La Raza brought illegal aliens to a town-hall meeting in Houston, Texas yesterday. Their stated goal was to take over America.

Will this video be shown on the Mainstream media? Will this group of Hispanics be be portrayed as an angry, racist, un-American mob?

Why are only conservative protesters labeled as angry, racist, un American and mob-like? From what I have seen the conservative protesters, at tea parties and at town hall meetings, have been better behaved than most liberal protesters, past and present. Conservatives are actually challenging the politicians intellectually with specific questions about the health care bill. They are not holding up foreign flags, threatening violence, using racial slurs or threatening to take over America. Occasional bad behavior by conservatives is condemned and widely reported by the mainstream media. When liberals act badly, they are ether ignored or hailed as justifiable acts by desperate sympathetic victims by the mainstream media.

Often, bad behavior that is blamed on conservatives is actually committed by liberals, that are disguising themselves as conservatives, in order to draw negative attention to the conservative cause.

I have written many articles about deranged behavior by the left at garyganu and Conservative Ga-News and Opinion .Many of these articles are documented with video clips. Why does the mainstream media ignore the obvious bad behavior from the left and fabricate or exaggerate bad behavior from the right?

I Fear For Glenn Beck's Life

Glenn Beck has been been researching people in the Obama administration. He Is publicizing the fact that many of Obamas associates and appointees have ties to communism and/or Marxism. Beck has discovered that much of this information has been purged from wikipedia and other websites. Beck fears that negative information about Obama and his appointees is being systematically purged from the Internet. He is calling on his watchdogs to dig in like worms and bring the information to light that the Obama administration is trying to hide from public scrutiny.

I am afraid that Beck will find something that is so important to the Obama administration that they will have him killed. Beck is the only one that is relentlessly digging into the past of Obama and his cohorts and connecting the dots. I fear for Beck's life. He is dealing with corrupt and evil people that have mob connections. I hope that Beck is aware of this threat and has adequate personal security. Most successful conservative talk show hosts require constant personal security due to the overwhelming number of threats. This phenomenon has ramped up in the last few years and they all say that the threat level is unprecedented.

I pray that God will look over Glenn Beck as he seeks the truth. I believe that Glenn Beck is the most genuine, selfless and courageous person in today's media. I believe that Glenn Beck is motivated by the spiritual principles that he learned in Alcoholics Anonymous and the Mormon Church. Beck often speaks about the exact same spiritual principles that I leaned in Narcotic's Anonymous. I believe that Beck is grateful that God has given him a second chance in life after he hit bottom and nearly died as a result of his alcoholism. I believe that money and fame are not beck's motivation. I believe that practicing spiritual principles in all aspects of his life is what motivates Glenn Beck.

Newsmax has learned that the co-founder of the African-American political organization Color of Change, which is calling for Beck's ouster, is civil rights attorney Van Jones. Here is the article that ties the Obama administration to a boycott directed at advertisers of Glenn beck: http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/beck_obama_boycott_fox/2009/08/13/247700.html

Wednesday , Glenn Beck announced what he says will be the largest conservative rally of all time on September 12 in front of the Capitol building. The date September 12th is significant because it is the day after the attack on 9-11-2001. On that day, America woke up to the danger that we faced from terrorists. On this September 12th, Beck hopes that the nation will wake up to the danger we face from our "out of control" government.

Defending The Indefensible

This is a video of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D TX) talking on her cell phone at a town-hall meeting while a constituent asks her a question. This link takes you to a video clip that is only 30 seconds long:




Not to flog a dead horse, but if you have 7 minutes and 13 seconds, click on the following link to watch an interview with Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. She spends the entire time defending her rude cell phone etiquette.




This video demonstrates why I believe that all incumbents should be voted out of office. She exhibits elitism, self importance, hubris, deceit, obfuscation and a complete disconnect from her constituents.
