A temporary spine

Wow! did you see Representative Joe Wilson grow a spine on tv last night? I hope you did because it didn't last. By morning he was calling the white house and apologizing to the president for calling the liar a liar. The president said that his health care plan didn't cover illegal immigrants. Technically that's true, however when the republicans, led by Joe Wilson, tried to put that language into the bill the democrats removed it. Since there is no provision to require proof of citizenship prior to coverage, you can expect that the regulations will contain a provision prohibiting checking of citizenship. That's the way the communist in charge now work. They say one thing and do the other once the bill passes. They still think that the public hasn't caught onto this tactic

The republicans are trying to stay in the middle of the road. They hope with this strategy that they will regain power in 2010. The problem is they are still not listening to the voters. The American public doesn't believe the president or congress. The republicans had a chance to back Joe and show the public some spine. That chance was shot down in flames by morning. All third parties need to bring this right to the public's face.

The public is tired of washington. We are tired of hearing one thing and then the government doing another. I am tired of hearing our congressional reps state that they don't know what a bill does or doesn't allow or prohibit. We the People of America are not as ignorant as they think. We are awake to their tricks. This next election cycle, if we get to it, will be a blood bath for incumbents. 57 % of voters think congress should be replaced in its entirety. More lies by the democrats and no spine from the GOP will ensure that this will reach 80% by November fourth 2010.

Now is the time for americans and third parties to stand up for the Constitution. We must return our path to the restrictions on government that the Constitution imposes. We must find candidates that will support and obey the Constitution. The only hope for real change for the better is to change out all of the rouges in washington and restore the Constitution of the United States to its proper place in our hearts, lives and government.

Obama breach of trust.

Obama and the neo-socialist left really messed up this week. In a major breach of trust they floated a idea of making Veterans pay for their continuing health care for service connected disabilities. If there was one group the left needed to keep on their side its the military. The military support groups were on the left's butt in a big way.

First of all it's the employers responsibility to take care of work related injuries. Mine and your personal insurance never covers these types of injuries. After the member retires or is discharged from the service these injuries are called pre-existing condition and again its not covered. That means the service member will be required to pay for it. Thanks for your service dude. Sorry for your injuries, here's your bill. So much for a enlistment contract.

If insurance carriers are required to provide coverage this will lead to major price increases to cover their expanded cost. Battlefield injuries are devastating to the member and expensive to treat. Many insurers may just fold and get out of the business due to these cost. That of course means the taxpayer will again have to pick up the slack while we are losing our own choices for health care coverage due to this government interference.

Young men and women thinking about serving will think again about the cost. If the government can bail out on their responsibilities now, what will they fail you on out in the future. You just won't be able to trust them. Members who are serving now will leave while the getting out is good and they are still healthy. It just won't be worth the risk.

This, of course, is a strategy of the left to weaken the military. If they all leave they can form their civilian corps without interference or worry the military might not back their power play when the public revolts. Only their faithful will serve as the brown shirts to keep the public in line.

Thankfully a few courageous officers and enlisted folks are challenging Obama right to be president in court. As more military folks see this the voice of opposition in the military will grow louder. I foresee a major effort by the left to block the military vote to try and offset their outrage. Good luck with that.

We are heading for a major confrontation and the left is running as fast as they can to prepare for it. Are you ready? Where will you stand? As for me and my house we stand for the Constitution, God, Liberty, and our Country!
