Harry Reid Ready To Inflict ReidCare On America

The Mouse of the Senate surrounded by the jackasses - especially Franken

Tonight Senator Reid has introduced ReidCare that comes in heftier than PelosiCare at a whopping 2,047 pages and a cost of $849 billion.  This version barely resembles the bill that came out of committee.  Reid added an insurance exchange to the bill that contains the government option, which should keep Olympia Snowe from voting for the bill if she is a woman of her word.  She is a RINO, so I doubt it.  The bill also contains the abortion funding, although Reid has cloaked it in an unusual way.  This bill offers a side-by-side option that allows the individual to choose whether they want abortion coverage or not.  Meaning that the government will still be funding abortions with tax payer dollars.   The MediCare cuts exist in this bill as well as the income tax increases on the wealthy.  Supposedly, the CBO will be announcing that ReidCare will reduce deficits by $127 billion.  This analysis does not include the MediCare funding cuts to doctors though that will have to be made up with tax dollars.  Or we could just not pay the doctors and see how quickly they retire.  This also does not take into account that no entitlement program has ever cut deficits and usually ends up costing 200 times initial estimates.  But why bother with details…

Senator Reid said tonight during the announcement, “Tonight begins the last leg of this journey.”  Yesterday, Reid claimed that this bill would be the best of all the bills we have seen and that if we are not “impressed, we should be.”

I am not impressed.  Obama welcomed Reid’s action, saying, “Today, thanks to the Senate’s hard work, we’re closer than ever to enacting solutions to these problems. I look forward to working with the Senate and House to get a finished bill to my desk as soon as possible.”

Senator Mitch McConnell’s response was, “The bill has been behind closed doors for weeks.  Now, it’s America’s turn, and this will not be a short debate. Higher premiums, tax increases and Medicare cuts to pay for more government. The American people know that is not reform.”

A vote on whether to start debate on the bill is expected to come before the week ends and then the Senate breaks for Thanksgiving.  This means we have work to do over the Thanksgiving break making sure that ReidCare never comes to a vote and if it does, that it fails.  We cannot allow these socialist elitist pigs to foist this on our country!  I am sorry for my verbage, but I am done with these people.  Damn near all of them.  Did anybody else notice that the Repubs gave up the ghost on Judge Hamilton who believes that judges can amend the Constitution from the bench and that he thinks the Founding Fathers expected that?  This guy will be one seat away from the Supreme Court and the lily-livered GOP gave up.  Stand up you fools!  Are we the only ones who care out here?  You can be just as gone in 2010 as the Dems.

Ronald Reagan Comic Book Coming Soon!

I know that I am a girl and should not be a fan of comic books, but I have loved them since I was kid.  I loved having such great visuals to go with such great stories.  I loved them all from Archie, horror genre and, of course, the superhero comics.  I am a DC person, but do enjoy the occassional Marvel and independent.  I know comics are not for everyone, but soon there will be a comic that every conservative will want to have a copy of not only for themselves, but for their kids as well.  There is no better way to introduce indoctrinated kids to one of the best American presidents – Ronald Reagan – than a comic book.

Bluewater Productions will be releasing Political Power Ronald Reagan, written by Don Smith who has made a name for himself interviewing creators and performers in the world of science fiction, comic books and entertainment with CosmicBookNews.com, ToyFare magazine and Wizard Entertainment. He now has jumped to the “other side of the table” as a writer for a bio-comic about Ronald Reagan as part of Bluewater Productions Political Power series. The issue, penned by Smith, was illustrated by Scott Woodward. The cover art was provided by award-winning artist Azim Akberal.

Don Smith joins me on the Freedom’s Wings Show on Thursday at 6pm ET.  We’ll discuss the comic book and the story of Ronald Reagan. The website asks, “Was the Soviet Union an “Evil Empire?” Was President Ronald Reagan at the right place and right time when it collapsed? Or was he one of the shrewdest occupants of the White House? Find out how this Mid-Western-turned-actor-turned-President went from B-movies to orchestrating the total collapse of the Soviet Union.”  You do not want to miss this!  Find out more about the comic here.  And listen to the show here.

 

Newt Gingrich Helping With Another “Contract With America”

Upon hearing that Newt Gingrich is advising on another “contract with America”, I find myself screaming “NO!”  Gingrich helped pen the first Contract With America, which was highly successful and appeared to get the Republican Party back on track.  Now the GOP has backslidden once again – how many times do we have to put up with this – and Gingrich wants to help with a new contract.  The reason why I have no desire for Gingrich to do this work is that he is not a loyal conservative.  He has been proven to be a man who does what is politically expedient to his purposes and for the Republican Party.  Even if that means backing an ACORN endorsed lefty claiming to be Republican like Dede Scozzafavva who ran in the NY23 race.

And with Michael Steele, Chairman of the RNC, leading the way on this new contract I find myself doubting that this will make the change in the GOP that conservatives are demanding.  I do not trust empty words on paper anymore.  I observe the deeds of a group and judge them by those actions and the GOP has yet to prove that they are interested in going back to their conservative principles.  They have made the first step by claiming that they will stay out of races until after primaries have been finished.  We’ll see if that proves to be the truth.

Gingrich had the following to say this weekend at C-SPAN’s Cable Center Class about this new endeavor, “I’ve been talking with Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.  He is developing a first principles model that I think is a very exciting , positive step in the right direction.  By September , it might be very, very good for the Republicans in the House and Senate to have a common ground on which to campaign, whether they call it a Contract for America or some other device.  Having a positive set of things that say, ‘if you elect us, these are the positive steps we will take that may well be the key building block to really become the alternative party, not the opposition party.  If the Democrats stay stuck over on a very left-wing program and if they continue to have a job-killing record in Congress, I think by September and October you could suddenly have a very exciting election.”

Gingrich is ready to go forward with four principles, which are as follows: “The No. 1 issue is jobs… The No. 2 issue is energy… The No. 3 challenge… replace the big government monstrosity that they passed on Saturday ( a reference to the Democratic-led House healthcare bill. “The No. 4 challenge is education.”

National security seems like it should be on this list before education and even healthcare reform, which has to pass anyway.  And does anyone believe that Gingrich plans to deal with the criminal invaders in this country?  They are connected to jobs, national security, healthcare and education.  They are detrimental to each.  Gingrich, go back to your American Solutions (which I no longer link to) and stay out of this conservative battle.  We can handle the Democrats just fine, we do not need either you or Steele.

Rationed Healthcare For Elderly Already Starting

Our government is trying to convince everyone that H1N1 is a huge threat to all of us and that we all need to be getting vaccinated.  They have emphasized that pregnant women, children and the elderly need to be vaccinated and will be vaccinated first.  If you have a pre-existing health condition that would increase your risks if you contract H1N1, then you are also heavily encouraged to get vaccinated.  Unfortunately, the government is running the H1N1 vaccination program like they run everything else – very poorly.  Thus, there are very few vaccine shots available.  This has lead to…wait for it…rationing.

I heard a story on the radio of a man who wrote Rush Limbaugh that he has a medical condition that required his need for an H1N1 shot according to his doctor.  There was a problem; however, because his doctor only had three shots available and so this gentleman was going to have to go through the system to get permission to get the shot.  It turns out that the man was too old and sick to be given the shot and that this county was focusing on pregnant women.

I would have thought that story was either preposterous or isolated if it were not for my personal experience.  My seventy-something mother-in-law has emphysema.  While she was visiting a couple of weeks ago, I attempted to find a place where she could get a shot.  Shots here in my area were only being given to pregnant women.  She figured when she got home to her doctor she would easily be given a shot.  After all, her doctor is out of National Jewish, which is the premiere lung hospital in the country.  Guess what?  She was denied a shot because of her age.  They are only giving shots to younger people.

Now I do not know if this is happening in states across this country, but obviously it is happening in several cities.  And this all lends credence to the fears that elderly people have been expressing at townhalls about rationed heathcare for them and to the death panels that liberals are trying to convince us are just figments of Sarah Palin’s imagination.  The truth is that ObamaCare will lead to rationing beyond a doubt and common sense tells everyone that it is the aged and sick who will be pushed aside because they will not be “worth” it.

Unions In ObamaCare Fight

I have an inside view to the manipulations of the unions in relations to their membership because my partner receives the IAM Journal.  The IAM is the AFL-CIO, which is SEIU.  They are all one in the same.  This quarter’s publication is all about the ObamaCare debate and obviously is very one-sided on the issue.  We have all seen media coverage – at least on FOX News – of the antics of the unions at townhalls and ObamaCare rallies.  Here is the picture included with this publication:

Wow, look at all the homemade signs these people brought out.  Okay, so maybe the organizers of the event provided some signs.  Grassroots groups do that occasionally.  (Of course, the last time a grassroots group provided me a sign it was a paper plate stapled to a popsicle stick…) Which organization provided the signs?  This picture is small, but the top of the blue signs read, “SEIU Change That Works.”  There’s that Obama change for you.  I really do love the homemade signs that were brought though, particularly the one that claims healthcare that is accessible, affordable and adequate is a civil right.  That’s why healthcare coverage is included in the Bill of Rights…wait a minute…  And then there is the sign reading “Healthcare for Grandkids.”  How lovely.  I wonder if grandpa realizes the bill this ObamaCare will burden his grandkids with and I wonder if he knows what sCHIP is all about.

People are wearing pins as well.  The guy in the front has one that reads “Free Choice”.  ObamaCare will sure provide that as it creates the government monopoly that will become a single payer system.

I wonder if these well-informed union people realize a glaring truth in the House Bill that recently passed.  I wonder if the union leadership realize it as well.  Cadillac health insurance plans will be taxed across the board to pay for ObamaCare.  Cadillac plans are only purchased by the rich, right?  Oh no.  The definition of a Cadillac plan is a plan that includes dental and vision insurance and prescription drug coverage.  Most middle class workers who are members of unions have Cadillac plans.  I know we do in this middle class union home.  (Yes, I gagged on that “union home” part.)

The article in the IAM Journal states that “Others – like the right-wing media (read FOX News), GOP politicians and the insurance lobbyists who line their pockets – want the American people to believe the system works fine as it is.”  What a lie!  Who has said that?  Everyone has claimed we need reform, but not the type of “reform” ObamaCare is bringing.  And then there is this gem – mind you this is coming from unions who finance Democrats heavily and are behind the scenes we have witnessed and experienced in person at townhalls and rallies – “They’ve resorted to their same evil, skin-crawling tactics sure to strike fear in the American public.  They’ve hijacked community centers, high school gymnasiums and stadiums across the country – with lies of ‘death panels’…’socialized medicine’…and ‘rationed care’ – and turned them into everything short of knock-down-drag-out fighting rings.”

Bwahahahahaha!!!  Hmm…pretty sure those were SEIU guys beating up the black conservative in St. Louis.  And who was that guy that bit the finger off the elderly gentleman at a rally…oh yeah SEIU!  And who are the people who show up to Democrat townhalls and are given most of the seats – SEIU and AFL-CIO.  And who is trying to brainwash their union members into thinking that they need to destroy the perfectly good plans they all already have to make sure that 20+ million uninsured people are required to buy insurance or go to jail?  That would be the unions!

Tea Party Express Comes To End In Orlando

There was an Autumn chill in the air as the Tea Party Express rolled into Orlando, but that did not stop the patriots from coming.  At least 6,000 to 7,000 people were in attendance for the final stop on the Tea Party Express bus tour.  And we were not disappointed as the Tea Party Express pulled out all the stops with speakers we have come to know very well.  There was Kenneth Gladney, who you might remember as the black conservative beat up by SEIU thugs in St. Louis.

There was Katy Abrams, who was just your average American citizen until she stood up at Arlen Sphincter’s townhall and called him on the mat and informed him that they had awakened a sleeping giant.

Tea Party Patriot founder, Amy Kramer, spoke along with ResistNet.com’s Darla D. and Patriot’s Heart Network founder, Chalice spoke as well about her group’s work with the eligibility issue.

Lloyd Marcus performed some of his great music including the American Tea party Anthem.  I had the pleasure of getting my CD autographed and getting a photograph taken:

I also had the pleasure of meeting Mark Olsen, the author of Animal Colony, whom I interviewed on the radio show last month.

It was a huge success and has set us up to issue pink slips to those in Washington DC who still refuse to listen to us.  We are out here.  We are great in number.  We are not weary.  We will only get louder and stronger.  As Rick Santelli infamously declared, “President Obama, are you listening?

CMA Awards Not PC, And I Loved It!

The Country Music Awards was on the television last night.  Usually I do not partake in awards shows, but last night I found myself stalling on the CMAs as I flipped channels.  And I am glad I did because there were two moments during the evening that were not politically correct and I enjoyed them.

The hosts for the evening were Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley.  The performed a little duet at the beginning of the show sung to the tune of “Mommas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys” and it went something like this:

Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys,

Let them be cowboys who have manners and such.

The other PC moment of the evening was also a dig at Kanye West.  Taylor Swift won the final award of the evening and her closing statement was, “And thank you to everybody in here who didn’t rush up onto the stage.”

Country music could teach Hip Hop and rap a thing or two.  Not the country musicians are perfect, but the truth is that their videos do not objective women as just simple sexual creatures to be manhandled and taken.  They do not flash gang symbols and wear gangster clothing.  They do not beat their women like Chris Brown.  They do not rush the stage and interrupt a young eighteen-year-olds acceptance speech to drunkenly tell the crowd who they think should have won – like anyone cares.  Country singers honor our troops with more than the obligatory thanks.  They fly overseas to entertain the troops.  They honor our country and the flag.  They write songs about honor and glory and country and freedom, instead of songs about cop killing, drugs and bitches.

Yep, country music is not real PC and so neither were their awards and I loved it!

Happy Veterans Day 2009!

A filmmaker friend of mine forwarded this to me and I thought I would share.  That filmmaker is Jack Marino, director and writer of the movie Forgotten Heroes.  Check it out here.

America’s forgotten heroes
Exclusive: Andrea Shea King remembers the brave who served in Vietnam
Posted: November 10, 2009
6:42 pm Eastern

On Jan. 10, 1970, U.S. Army Capt. Herbert C. Crosby disappeared without a trace.

“Herby” Crosby was piloting “Firebird 91,” a UH1C Iroquois Huey helicopter combat gunship in Vietnam. He was leading three Hueys returning from Tien Phuoc to the unit’s home base at Chu Lai, South Vietnam. On board were Warrant Officer George A. Howes, co-pilot; Spc. 5th Class Wayne C. Allen, crew chief; and Spc. 4th Class Francis G. Graziosi, door gunner.

The 22-year old Crosby’s tour of duty was scheduled to end a few weeks later, and the young serviceman looked forward to returning home to Donalsonville, Ga.

But on that day, Capt. Crosby and his three-man crew got lost in bad weather over Quang Nam Province. Their helicopter disappeared.

For 36 years, Crosby’s family awaited word on the fate of their son and brother. On Dec. 8, 2006, they learned the truth. Herby’s remains had been recovered, and all that was left to do was bury him with a full military funeral. The following Memorial Day, Capt. Herbert C. Crosby was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.

Today, we remember Capt. Crosby and all who have served our country, defenders of our liberty and that of oppressed countries the world over.

On this Veterans Day, I watched The “Forgotten Heroes,” a film conceived in 1985 and produced by filmmaker Jack Marino, who wanted to tell the real story of those who fought in Vietnam.

“Forgotten Heroes” isn’t a documentary. Rather, it’s the story of brothers in arms who were drafted, fought, overcame incredible hardships and came home to the jeers of fellow Americans who hated this war.

As one Blue Star Mom described it, “‘Forgotten Heroes’ is the polar opposite of so many Hollywood movies of the Vietnam War. You know, the ones that show the soldiers and Marines as bloodthirsty murderers and depraved and crazed killers of women and babies.”

The “Forgotten Heroes” website explains:

In 1986 after watching the film “Platoon,” Jack Marino realized that since John Wayne’s “Green Berets,” Hollywood was increasingly reluctant to say anything positive or portray in a heroic sense anyone that fought in the Vietnam war. He felt he had to do something to counter all the negativism that seemed so pervasive within the city limits of Tinsel Town towards America’s war vets. He had been kicking around this idea of a World War II style film in a Vietnam setting for some time.
Marino explains, “I wanted to portray on film that generation who answered JFK’s call to defend freedom anywhere and anytime.”

He continues, “Every Sunday possible during my childhood, my dad and I would spend a few hours watching all the great black-and-white World War II movies together. Still, decades later, when I came home for a visit, we would fight the war together again in front of the TV. John Wayne, Errol Flynn, Van Johnson, Audie Murphy and so many more are a major part of my childhood memories.”

The Blue Star Mom adds, “My husband and I have pretty much stopped watching movies coming out of Hollywood. We’re just plain sick and tired of sitting down to let go of our daily stuff and be entertained to find we’re being lectured on the liberal’s agenda of hating America and/or our military. There are so many wonderful and inspiring stories about our military out there, just waiting to be told. But the media can’t even bring itself to report on our finest unless its report after report about torture (mostly bogus), civilian deaths (so many found to be untrue) and how ‘demoralized’ and ‘broken’ our troops are.

“So, to think Hollywood (the bastion of liberalism and ‘blame America first’) would even consider making a movie that showed the truth of all the great things and personal sacrifice our troops are willing to stand up and carry out?” she asks. “Well, I’m not holding my breath on that!”

We remember our veterans today, Nov. 11, with hearts filled with gratitude for all they’ve given to make our nation and the world a safer place. And we say a prayer for our fighting men and women and their loved ones. May God bless every one of them.

“Dear Jack,
You have helped enhance the lives of our Nation’s military and veterans and I appreciate your efforts to honor these heroes. Your support of these selfless warriors reflects the best of the American Spirit and I am grateful for your compassionate work …”

Political Correctness Is Destroying Us

For years we have been living under a political correctness filter that is now endangering our lives.  I am either more sensitive to it since 9/11 or the country has fallen down further into this rabbit hole.  The events at Ft. Hood shine a light on this painful truth in America: Our political correctness is destroying us.  And this is not just the case when it comes to Islam and Jihadists, although that is the most glaring example.  Our political correctness has led us to elect a panty-waist leader who has become an apologist to the world.  We’re sorry for being prosperous and Capitalistic.  We’re sorry for being free.  This apologist attitude has left us whimpering at the door of Iran.  Iran will have the nuclear weapon in time and we will be left living under a fear that the Cold War never instilled.  At least the Soviet Union cared a bit for its people.  Jihadists and Muslim extremists – who are the norm, no PC here – do not even care about their own lives.

Political correctness has given way to a zero tolerance zoning in schools that leaves six-year-olds expelled for having Boy Scout equipment with them and teenagers with survival gear losing college prospects.  Political correctness has led us to push God out of the center square because we do not want to offend anyone.  How dare we Christians wish someone “Merry Christmas”.  Now we have winter festivals and Xmas decorations.  We take down the ten commandments and yank prayer out of school, unless you’re a Muslim.  Little old ladies are given the full pat down at airports, while dark-skinned men wearing turbans are ignored.

Political correctness keeps people from speaking their minds, which erodes our free speech.  Sometimes that free speech may hurt, but it is a fundamental right that this country is erasing.  The Fairness Doctrine seeks to make talk radio more “fair” and keep conservativism from sweeping the internet.  Political correctness keeps people from telling the truth and then sometimes it is too late.

Political correctness is a fundamental problem in this country and the Ft, Hood Massacre only shines light on that fact.  Freedom’s Wings is a no PC zone, so I say what I want and welcome others to do the same.  I have never erased a comment or edited it except for profanity or being spam.
