Bad things to come in Health Care
This is just a short post about the future of Health Care. I tried to submit my tax return online today, and I received an error message. The error stated that the IRS had different information on my sons social security # and/or name. Keep in mind I had the card in my hand when I entered the information and I triple checked the information when I received the error.
The tax program stated that I need to call the Social Security Administration and get this straightened out.
So, I called the SSA, and it is basically impossible to to talk to a live human being on the phone. Here is a brief summary of the conversation.
Phone tree: “Tell us what you would like to do.”
Me: “Verify my sons SS# and name.”
Phone tree: “Did you say get a new card?”
Me: “No.”
Phone tree: “Tell us what you would like to do.”
Me: “Verify my sons SS# and name.”
Phone tree: “Did you say report a stolen SS#?”
Me: “No.”
Phone tree: “Tell us what you would like to do.”
Me: “Verify my sons SS# and name.”
Phone tree: “Did you say talk to an agent”
Me: “YES” I said yes hoping that I would actually get to talk to a human. Big Mistake.
Phone tree: “All agents are busy.”
Phone tree: “Tell us what you would like to do.”
Me: “Verify my sons SS# and name.”
Phone tree: “Did you say get a new card?”
Me: “No.”
Phone tree: “Tell us what you would like to do.”
Me: “Verify my sons SS# and name.”
Phone tree: “Did you say report a stolen SS#?”
Me: “Go to he**”
Phone tree: “Good bye.”
Now this hassle was just to verify information that contained two items, SS# and name. PERIOD.
When the government starts to run health care, can you imagine how messed up the entire system will be when they have to maintain complicated medical records for the entire country? It will be impossible to get anything done in a timely manner.
Thanks Obama for instituting full blown socialism in America, and thank you moronic Americans who failed to research Obama and believed the rhetoric he spouted during the campaign. People need to wake up and stop the take over of our freedoms. Quit being lazy, quit expecting the Government to take care of you.
Bill Maher on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Watching Jay Leno and he has Bill Maher on. I now remember why I canceled my cable subscription.
Uneducated people like this with all of their Socialist talking points that want to kill America are considered cool in the cable media. Give me a break.
He attacked Christianity, “teabaggers”, stupid people against health care reform, and all the standard Liberal BS. He also dropped all kind of curse words to try to prove his point. Really, you are the supposed representative of the Liberal Left. My 14 year old son debates better than you, and he does not even care about politics. He only cares about sustaining a great America.
Who the heck do you think drives the economy in America Bill Maher? I know is not the Government that has never run a profitable business in its entire history. It is private enterprise and entrepreneurs that have an incentive to survive.
Bill Maher is doing exactly what all Liberals are claiming that Republicans are doing right now. But we Conservative Republicans do not have to resort to name calling and dirty tactics. We have America on our side. Like Obama recently said, “bring it on” Bill Maher with your Liberal tactics. You do not have America on your side after they have seen your cards.

Brad Ellsworth’s reasoning for voting yes on Health Care Reform
I received this today after emailing Brad Ellsworth a few days before the Democrats started instituting health care reform in America on March 21, 2010. It was real nice of him to answer to the people in a timely manner. I guess he’ll get his reaction in November.
“Dear Russell,
Thank you for contacting me with your views on health care reform. I appreciate your comments, and I welcome this opportunity to share my thoughts.
For years, patients, employers, and health care providers have been urging their representatives to tackle the problems in our health care system. And, without action, our health care costs have kept climbing each year?”forcing more employers to drop coverage for their workers, increasing the number of uninsured Americans who can’t afford coverage, and leading hardworking families to file bankruptcy when faced with the unexpected. The one thing everyone has agreed on is the need for reforms that improve care and hold down costs. Over the past year, as Congress debated reform, I looked over several proposals for fixing what’s broken in our current system while preserving what works. Sadly, I saw a lot of Representatives support or oppose various ideas and bills based on politics, not policy. My job is to look beyond all those political games, study each bill carefully, and do my best to make the right decision for Indiana.
After months of meetings and conversations with thousands of patients, health care providers, and policy experts, I am confident supporting health care reform was the right decision for Hoosiers. That’s why I voted for the final health care reform package that passed the House on March 21, 2010. This bill was far from perfect, but it will make real improvements over the status quo for Hoosiers.
Health insurers will no longer be able to refuse access to insurance to the 109,000 uninsured Hoosiers with pre-existing conditions. Small businesses providing health insurance will receive tax credits to make that coverage more affordable. Seniors who get caught in the Medicare Part D donut hole will see that coverage gap shrink every year and close for good in 2020. Young adults trying to find a job with health benefits can stay on their parents insurance plans until their 26th birthday. The final reform bill also makes some of the big reforms that Hoosiers have called for. It guarantees Americans access to the exact same coverage I get as a Member of Congress. It begins reforming Medicare and Medicaid to start rewarding doctors and hospitals who deliver quality, efficient care that improves their patients’ health. It also makes insurance companies compete across state lines?”opening up the power of competition to bring down premiums.
As you know, this health care reform package is very complex, and every Hoosier has a unique perspectives and a different question. Please visit my website www.ellsworth.house.gov and click the “Understanding Health Care Reform” link to see in-depth answers to the questions I am hearing from constituents like you about this new law and how it will affect you, your family, or your employer. Thanks again for taking time to share your views with me. Stay in touch!
Sincerely,
Brad Ellsworth”
American Soldiers Forced to March to Celebrate a Russian Holiday
For the first time ever in the history of America, American soldiers will be
forced to march in the red square in Moscow to celebrate one of the largest
holidays in Russia.
As we have all seen throughout history this is the famous march of military
power through the Red Square that the dictator controlled country loves to
have. It proves to the citizens that they are not free and that the
leaders of the country have all the power.
Now these dictators, their leader once a KGB spy, will be able to point to
their citizens and tell them “See now even the Americans are on our side,
and you will never be free.”
Two days after the announcement in Russian state controlled media,
a massive wave of protests swept through Russia, in a coordinated
move by the opposition known as “Day of Anger.” The Russian
government outlawed the protests, shut down the website that was
organizing them, preemptively arrested activist leaders, and then
conducted mass arrests of those who dared to show their faces
on the streets.
Obama said nothing in support of these freedom fighters.
Is this really how we want to promote freedom in the world?
Is this how we want to treat our soldiers; as propaganda
tools? This is wrong, but apparently this is our new America.

Saul Alinsky and the Radical Progressives
“From all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.”
This is an opening quote from the book Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. Saul Alinksy is the Progressive professor that taught Bill & Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi how to take over America and turn it into a progressive country. He is also the man that Barack Obama has studied extensively and helped to build his foundation. I have provided some links below with additional information on the Radical Saul Alinsky and his Democratic connections.

Obama’s true intentions with health care reform.
Time to call your representatives to stop the Government take over of health care.
I thought I would put together a list of resources for people to write their representatives in Washington. The lists below will provide you the contact information for any Senator or member of the House of Representatives.
There are also a couple of resources that provide information on how most of the representatives are voting on the health care takeover bill.
I encourage everyone who believes, the way I do, that the Government is trying to forcefully take over 1/6 of the American economy to write these people and kindly and respectfully let them know that they are making a mistake, you do not want this bill to pass, and if they do not object to the bill you will not vote for them in the future. If you do not take action know against this bill, our kids and grand kids will not enjoy the freedom that we have enjoyed as Americans and their standard of living will be significantly decreased. Please take 3 minutes out of your day to write, email or call these people and object.

Indiana Residents That Have Protected Themselves With Guns
This post is for a Liberal friend of mine that hates guns.I am listing page one of 17 pages of Indiana residents that have protected themselves, their family or an innocent third party with a gun. These are innocent lives that were saved because of gun owners.
This is one page of 17 in a state with only 6 million citizens. Imagine if extremely Liberal states like California and New York actually cared about their citizens constitutional rights and lives how many innocent crime victims could be saved.
Hey Liberals, why do you want innocent dead people? Guns save lives; PERIOD.

While fetching wood from her garage one evening, a 70-year-old woman heard what sounded like people fighting. “I looked over into the road to see what was going on, and about that time a guy comes running around the house,” she explained. The woman ran inside, got her gun and dialed 9-1-1. The man circled the house, pounding on all the windows. He broke through the living room window and knocked over the television. The woman can be heard on the 9-1-1 tape yelling at the man, “You stay right where you’re at!” Police say she aimed her gun at the intruder and told him, “If you come any closer, you’re going to be dead.” She then ordered him to the floor and he obeyed, collapsing into a fetal position. He remained that way until police arrested him.
