The REAL Government Takeover Target ... Your Pension, Your Paycheck, Your Property, Your Life.

With the revelation that the "Pelosi Health Care Poison Pill Bill" is due to clear the House Floor on Saturday, it's time to make perfectly clear the progression of events that have taken place so far in the ongoing "Hostile Takeover" of the American Economy.

The key is the Obamist "transformation of America." In every case, we were TOLD quite openly that we would be required to "sacrifice" for the "Hope & Change" that were so nebulously promised, and that the President told us we were "demanding."

But, what did he actually mean? Ms. Obama answered that question quite plainly:



So, the President will require us to "Change" and "work." But, we still don't know exactly what that means.
So, lets look to the sage counsel of ex-Congressman Rohm Emmanuel, White House Chief-of-Staff:



So, one of the "changes" we'll be required to undergo will be an involuntary, mandatory term of ... well, lets just be blunt and say indoctrination.

But, what's that I hear you screaming at me? What about "individual liberties?"
Well, for more on that front, lets go to Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, and the well known Liberal Democrat & past Presidential Senior Adviser, Pat Caddell:



And Part 2:



To say that, at the time this was first presented to me, I was shocked would be an understatement.But, that was a younger, more naive moment for America, that August, over 2 long months ago.

It was a tumultuous time. I was in the thick of it, yelling for water in Concord, California, in front of Rep. George "Where's George?" Miller's office, eating burritos "on the bus" with Families Protecting the Valley and holding my "you can't drink a smelt" sign high in the air on the Hannity show from Huron. It was a heady moment.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, General Stanley McChrystal made the amazing "faux pas" of daring to go before the American Public to make known his ignored request for 40,00 troops to "win the war" in Afghanistan. Even though he'd been appointed by the President himself, he found it hard to get even a 20 minute "conference" with Mr. Obama to discus ... errrr ... discuss trying to "win the war." (Sorry, I had an "Olympic Moment" there, it won't happen again!)
If you'll remember, Mr. Obama was very busy with his primary role as President, that of "international superstar!" Or was that "all" he was?



Now we hear the straight simple; Robert "Uhhh ... What?" Gibbs says "It was weeks yesterday and it's weeks today," he replied when repeatedly questioned about whether any decision on Afghanistan was forthcoming. Passive-aggressive is what we in the personal counseling business call this sort of indecision. By Mr. Obama choosing not to make any decision, he feels he can deflect the inevitable "assignation of guilt," rather than actually making a decision.
This is a pattern of behavior that may seem, to himself, to serve Mr. Obama well, but it inevitably causes deprivation, death and destruction for those he is inevitably responsible to, and for.
This is true, whether it be the still living child of a botched abortion, or a casualty of a suicide bombing in Afghanistan. Mr. Obama is inevitably responsible to both, through his choice to vote "present," rather than standing upon a principle, any principle.
As any counselor can tell you, this accommodation allows the sick mind to deflect and defer realization of any responsibility for "tough decisions."

And now, for the real centerpiece of this three ring circus, we return to the House and the Pelosi Bill.
The monstrosity of this Bill is matched only by two things in this world; The size & complexity of its "government option" counterpart in the Senate, and the devastatingly ruinous effect both wiould have on every American.

The analysts are ripping it to shreds, and revealing the sheer universality of "poison pills" contained within the thousands of blood stained pages. You'll find ample examples at the Heritage Foundation's "Fix Health Care Policy Now!" informational site.

I feel that the most telling fact is this: Congress has decided to do to the Health Insurance industry what "They" & the Obama Administration did to GM & Chrysler. A hostile takeover.

Just as the stockholders took a back seat to the Government & Unions in the "bankruptcy" of the Auto Industry, the Government will require that Health Insurance companies maintain a business model that insures they will be bankrupted. Where every state in the Union require that Insurers raise premiums when the portion of premiums charged exceed 65 cents on the dollar, the House Bill requires both the Gov't and Private Insurers to pay out no less than 85 cents on the dollar.

This enforced business model is designed to bankrupt the Private Insurers, and in doing so, decimate their share value. And, as any share holder who was decimated in the GM bankruptcy and lost everything will tell you, your pension will go away.

The blunt upshot is that the Federal Government will get control of your Health Care, and the Pension Funds and Banks and Mutual Funds and ... Well, everyone and every entity that owns stock in these companies will lose all value.

And then what? Well, obviously, the Feds will have to bail out ( i.e. Nationalize ) these companies and the funds and ... Well, it follows, doesn't it?
They will have accomplished their goal in one fell swoop. Total Control over our lives.

So, from this rank layman's point of view, it's clear to see that this is yet another attempt at a "Hostile Takeover" of every Americans very life.

Here in the Central Valley of California, Republican Politicians, acting in"good faith," negotiated away both our water and our hydroelectric power. The pumps have been turned off during growing season, and now that the water harnessed for agriculture and human use from the San Joaquin River is being diverted to "reestablish" a salmon fishery that has been gone since 1928, laying waste the worlds most bountiful agricultural region.
And the "good faith?" Well, the Enviro-Hypocrites turned right around, broke their word and sued for even more. Congress gave them what we were told was "the bottom line," and legislated against us. And pf course the Courts upheld their legislation against us.
This year, the average citizen of the Valley has finally woken up, hopefully not too late. It became, even to the most naive rube, painfully obvious that The Democrats and the Obama Administration and the House Leadership and OUR SENATORS are working to DESTROY US!

Dear Patriot, this may be your last chance to peacefully protect and regain your Freedoms.
Mr. Obama has told you to shut up and get out of the way. In much of the Nation, your elected "representatives" came, held "Town Halls" and told you to shut up. Some told you to "move away" if you disagreed with them.
Some were even so bold as to tell you straight out that they were simply going to vote as they wanted, without regard for their constituents opinions.
They decided that they represent themselves and their own selfish interests, not you.

And some simply canceled their "Town Hall's" when they found that those opposed to "Obamacare" & other tyrannical Federal takeovers would be attending in force, as at least one Congressman from our area did.

And, as we watch, "They" are stacking the deck against us, making it more seductive and more impossible to defy "Them." But, to save our Freedoms, we must!

For decades after the crushing "coming of age" that we-who-campaigned for Nixon in '72 suffered, I refused to do little more, politics wise, than participate in idle "bitch fests." What good would it do?

I was wrong. And I let my friends and family and Nation down.

So, let me be your example, if you feel that "there's no point" and "it's too late!"

Stand up. Get involved. Speak out to your friends, instead of screaming at the TV. Get a bumper sticker. Get involved in your Tea Party, and get a cause. And stand up for it!

Take a chance, before they legislate all your chances away.

You're only as powerless as you decide to be.

For those who still respect the Constitution ....

While listening to Glenn Beck today, I heard about this strikingly ethical organization that puts their oath where their mouth is ...
In their own words;
"Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, reserves, National Guard, veterans, Peace Officers, and Fire Fighters who will fulfill the Oath we swore, with the support of like minded citizens who take an Oath to stand with us, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God. Our Oath is to the Constitution:
Our motto is "Not on our watch!"

There is a great deal of fear among the Conservatives of our Nation, having seen the "whatever it takes!" mentality and blatant use of Progressive & radical Socialist tactics such as were described by Saul Alinsky in "Rules for Radicals",  that the present Administration will find excuse to declare martial law and circumvent the Constitution in it's present push to overwhelm, "re-form & remake" America. The stated purpose of Oathkeepers is dedicated to thwarting any attempt to circumvent our Constitution by such illegal and intentionally precipitated means.

While we're truly skeptical of "conspiracy theories" here at the NObama County Register, we have our eyes wide open. We've seen moves that are straight out of Alinsky, are constantly bombarded with overreaching attempts to usurp Constitutionally delegated powers & destroy the Middle Class, and are lectured as to how we must "get out of the way" so the President can create his Utopia of "fairness & economic redistribution."

Friends, it's weird and getting steadily weirder. It's time for every single individual Citizen to stand and say their peace. Here's mine:

"I support and will defend with my life, my blood and my treasure, the Constitution of the United States of America.
I will fight, with words and deeds, any and all who would deprive Americans of our Constitutionally defined Rights, Rights which have been conferred upon us by God.
I will raise my voice, and encourage others to do the same, in defense of our Constitution.
I will fight those who would require, for their own selfish purposes, the abridgment of any American Citizen's Constitutionally guaranteed Rights."

I'm sick and tired of being urged to give up my Rights, especially for some illusion of security such as "Universal Health Care." Government Health Care Insurance is not "single payer." It will be paid for by everyone, and subject all to an unequal level of deprivation. It will, despite all protestations to the contrary, require rationing and imposition of artificial controls upon the market. and Politicians will build in exceptions that will make some unequal by dint of age, sex, color or philosophy.

So, despite my strong urge to disbelieve, I see the evidence of the Obama Administration's willingness to actually do anything that will gain themselves more and more power. If they will deny us water, they will deny you water. If they demonize Fox News, they will not hesitate to demonize or deny the Rights of you or I.

Do you remember the last President to openly demonize "the Press?" Does the phrase "Nattering Nabobs of Negativism!" mean anything to you?
Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew committed these acts and said that phrase. It begs the question: Why demonize when you can simply ignore? Is what Fox is reporting the Truth, or too close to the Truth?

And, in the light of the past, what is the Obama Administration in need of hiding? They openly lie, so what more could they possibly be trying to pull on us?

The only thing I'm absolutely sure of is that I don't have proof of anything positive where Mr. Obama is concerned, and plenty of proof of negatives. I don't trust him, his Czars, or his associates.

I'm not yet sure whether I will join the Oathkeepers, but I applaud their determination and guts. And we here at the NObama County Register support their Right to defend themselves and all Americans, from those who would usurp the Constitution.

Part 2, The Core purpose of ObamaCare - The Truth Revealed ...



When does it become impossible to ignore a pathological liar? When that liar is President of the United States, and you know beyond any possible doubt that he must be lying.
In a blatantly self serving address to the most sycophantic of possible audiences, Pres. Obama asked, after declaring "We're going to reform the (Health Care ) system for those who have insurance, and those who don't." He went on to declare, presumably to the Republican "opposition" (sic) "What's your solution? They don't have one!"

And here's where we go from tolerating little lies, errors and "policy shifts" to exposing the "Big Lie."

The Republicans have offered any number of solutions. I'll focus on just one, which also happens to be my personal favorite. This is H.R. 2520, The Patients Choice Act. This measure, written by Rep. Paul Ryan & Rep. Devin Nunes, introduced in Committee and summarily rejected by the Democrat majority, puts the power over Health Care where it belongs and has not been, in the hands of the People.

And there lies the problem that confronts the Democrats and other Progressive "fellow travelers." Every solution proposed by the Republicans would give each individual control over their own Health Care choices. Instead of "requiring" that I "contribute" to Government Health Care, I would be allowed to continue my own choice, which is to follow my own beliefs and do what I feel to be best for myself. I truly believe that, in deciding to not "avail" myself of available Government sponsored "free" Health Care, there isn't any good reason that I should be forced to "contribute" to a Government Health Plan.

I currently have health challenges, but they're many of the same ones that I've faced for over 30 years. However, through no agent other than my Diety and my own self determination, I chose to lose over 80 ponds and adopt a low fat diet. These choices weren't made out of any sense of "moral obligation" or "patriotic duty," I made them for purely selfish reasons. I feel no obligation to provide "free" health care for everyone, nor to be required to pay for "my share" of the bill for that supposedly "free" health care.

The choices I made in losing weight & going low-fat were selfish. I did them for the same reasons that I've done anything in my life: I WANTED TO.
I was tired of wisecracks and jabs about my weight. I was tired of having an aching back and shin splints and constant knee pain. So, I did what I wanted to. I was in control.

I've heard that, somehow, the Government Health Care 'Czar' will decree that obese "impoverished" Americans will be forced to care about themselves. That there will magically, in a system chronically short of trained personnel, be Health Care for all.

I pose this question; I haven't seen a doctor for over 6 years. I have incurred no "unusual" medical costs, preferring to take dietary supplements, over the counter remedies and natural herbs for my various ailments. Currently, my selfish behavior is legal.

Under ObamaCare, Or TedKennedyCare or Whatever-Care, I would automatically be a CRIMINAL! I would be a criminal because I dared to make a choice for myself, about myself.
I would be a criminal because I choose not to "contribute" my meager and hard won funds to treat the often constant, and invariably self-centered "medical needs" of other Americans.

So, lets see if I can get this exactly straight:

Our elected Legislators & Rulers will selfishly take away our Constitutional "Right to Choose." Socialism, Fascism, or some other equally unpleasant "system" will force Americans to do what the Government decrees. When and if you lose your job, you'll be forced to "accept" Government Health Care.
Or:
I continue to do that which I choose, strictly for myself, with no restriction upon the personal choices of my fellow Americans. I keep my power of self determination, and expect for others to pay for their choices, as I'd expect them to pay for their own car. In doing so, I incur no costs for unneeded health care visits, and create no burden on the Government to pay for my unneeded health care visits.
In a word, my health is my responsibility. Being a responsible adult, I don't ask for "free" Health Care.

Works for me.

Update from the Front Lines; Visalia, 2.9.09, Pro-Health Care ReForm Demonstration from the "Con" side.

From our Roving Correspondent, C. Brooks Nielsen

Wednesday, Sept 2, 9 p.m.
Just got back from the Visalia street rally. Tea Party folk gathered at the last minute to offer another side to a preplanned organized Obamacare demonstration.
There we were, signs a-waving, cheering the honks and waves of passersby, almost as big a showing on our side of the street as the candle-bearing group that spent most of its time in a huddle listening to speakers in their midst.
We agreed we'll get together again locally on 9/12 to cheer on those of us there tonight who will be representing us in D.C. for the finale of the Tea Party Express.
Life is good when you know it!
