The window to my world

Maybe you should take a peek at some recent news across the pond:

Hundreds of NHS wards to be shut in secret plans

To save money, you shut things down. Don’t worry, I’m sure services won’t suffer.

Stafford Hospital caused ‘unimaginable suffering’

Doctor’s worried about costs, because the government tells them they got to meet the budget, and patients suffer.

If you don’t think the same things would happen here in the US once the government starts calling the shots then I got a ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

Want to lower health care costs? Start allowing people to purchase insurance across state lines, do away with the minimum package an insurance company has to offer. As a single male insurance covering the cost of pregnancy is of little concern. Allow people to purchase insurance with pre-tax dollars. Just a few things the government could do to help lower health care costs.

What we all can do is get some  exercise, eat right, and get plenty of sleep. Since this involves personal responsibility I don’t have high hopes for it succeeding.

Hard to believe, unless you are one that has been looking at some of the actual data out there.

Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995

Take this, and how it was shown that evidence was withheld or suppressed that tended to shown global warming was not happening and it makes you really wonder about the actual science behind a lot of this. Of course most of it isn’t driven by science but rather by politics.

Leading up to the Super Bowl I was seeing lots of press about the “anti-abortion” message that would given by the Tim Tebow ad via Focus on the Family. I watched the ad during the game, and even again online after the game, to form my own opinion to this anti-abortion message.

Not once during the ad did I hear the word abortion used, nor anything hinting at an abortion message. Tim’s mom said it was rough. some tough choices were made, but here is her son. I guess talking about making tough choices mean you are anti-abortion to the media today.

President Obama calls the Supreme Court ruling easing campaign spending by corporations and labor unions “devastating”. Easing restrictions on free speech is devastating? Saying that the First Amendment protects political free speech for all Americans is devastating?

Funny how it is the Democrats, those that want to stand up for the rights of the people find this “devastating”.

Scott Brown wins Ted Kennedy’s old seat in the Senate despite the best efforts of the Democratic Party machine to smear him every way they could. Some of the Democrats were even comparing the frustration that people were feeling and thus turning to Brown as Bush’s fault. It would have been a huge surprise for Brown to lose this race given the lack of competence his opponent demonstrated.

Now though the Democrats are tripping over themselves to say he should be seated right away. No dummies, they know the people are pissed off at the people in charge (Democrats) and they don’t want to fan those flames and see huge losses. That still hasn’t stopped some Democrats from saying their lose in this election was due to people still being angry at Bush. One word to dscribe those people: Idiots.

It seems releasing terrorists from Gitmo and trying to rehabilitate with “art therapy” doesn’t work so well. I’m glad I wasn’t sitting at the table when this was suggested, I would have laughed myself silly.

Hopefully the government will get an idea of what we are dealing with regarding these terrorists. I’m hope it is before they kill more innocent people.

Every time she opens her mouth it just confirms she has no clue. Listening to what she had to say about the latest terroist attack attempt made my head hurt:

“What we are focused on is making sure that the air environment remains safe, that people are confident when they travel. And one thing I’d like to point out is that the system worked. Everybody played an important role here. The passengers and crew of the flight took appropriate action.”

So having the device a terrorist is wearing fail along with a passenger jumping said terrorist is part of the plan? This is like a football coach saying “Okay, after the opposing quarterback fumbles the ball, we’ll scoop it up and run it in for a touchdown to win the game!” Can you hear the laughter if a football coach said that?

Only problem here is this isn’t a football game, it is the life of American citizens. We need someone in the government that can come up with a real plan and implement the plan. Not holding my breath with this administration.

Many Democrats are complaining as how the Republicans are being hypocrites on health care reform. The argument goes like this: Republicans are bucking the Democratic proposals, which I agree they should be stopped, but the Republicans had no issues when proposing unfunded Medicare reform.

Myself I was ticked off at the Republicans for pushing this 6 years ago. It was bad policy and bad economics. And I’ll agree that the Senators that backed Medicare reform 6 years ago are being hypocrites. This however is politics as usual.

My personal opinion is the Federal Government has zero business in being involved with health care. They can regulate a health care company that does business across multiple states, that is the power given to them by the Constitution, other than that stick to those limited powers you are suppose to have and leave the rest to the states or the People.

The best summary I’ve seen on the emails and data that was hacked (i.e. stolen) from the AGW is by The Devil’s Kitchen. Go read it.

Paul Mirengoff has an article on the Washington Examiner called Why Does He Hate Us? Read it now. 20 Years from now I believe that we’ll look back and rank President Obama as one of the worse president’s in the history of the United States.
