Et Spreken Ze Totalitarianese, Yah?

Odumbo's welfare health care bill is more than 1000 pages of secular progressivism that aims to institute a government Ministry of Health similar to that of the former Soviet Union. If you are planning to enroll in Medicare or continuing to use it, forget it. The same goes for Medicaid.

The White House spin corps employs tactics of disinformation to obfuscate facts concerning their plans. The first order of business for them is to deny altogether that they have proposed legislation to nationalize the US health care industry. Second, they engage in ad hominem attacks to discredit those who have exposed the flaws in their plans rather than to refute their arguments. The more closely that the plan is scrutinized, the more ponderously unworkable, expensive, and intrusive it becomes.

Third, they present crutches-for-little-Timmy-Cratchet type emotional arguments to divert attention away from the information that is revealed by rationally deliberating the relevant empirical evidence concerning their bill. Fourth, they name and caricature their opponents in order to identify them as hated others rather than as people. This is the sort of mindless neurotic drivel that sent Japanese-Americans to internment camps in WWII.

On page 29 of HR3200, we learn that health care will be rationed. What a shock; Obama lied. Page 42 informs us that the Health Choices Czar will determine, on an individual basis, which treatments and benefits will be allowed. Page 50 reveals that illegal immigrants have the same rights to government health care as citizens.

We are told on page 58 that everyone in the country will be required by law to have a national health care identification card. Und veah ah zee peephazz, Hah! Et spreken ze totalitarianese? If you believe that this will only be used for health care, you are dangerously naive and gullible. Pages 58 and 59 authorize the Ministry of Health to have direct access to all bank accounts. On 195 it states the the Ministry will have access to all financial and personal records. So much for being secure in our personal effects and papers. The list of transgressions and treachery is long and should be read by all concerned citizens.

Evidence indicates that people who have private insurance will desert those plans in droves in favor of welfare health care.

Families with children will pay more for health care because the subsidies that those with private insurance were previously charged by hospitals will end. Below is from the previous link.

Historically, public programs--specifically Medicare and Medicaid--have reimbursed providers at levels below the costs of their services. For example, in 2003, on average, Medicare paid hospitals only 95 percent of the cost of providing services, while Medicaid paid hospitals only 89 percent of the cost of providing services. These below-cost reimbursements to providers by private payers--as evidenced by hospital reimbursements to the tune of 122 percent of costs in 2003. This cost shift, in turn, inflates private health insurance premiums for individuals and families.

Medicare will cease to exist. For years, politicians have slavered at the thought of means testing Medicare in order to burden those who were successful in life with paying for even more of the mommy staters' purchasing of votes from their theft-welfare constituents. Now, Medicare will be bundled into the Health Ministry's scheme along with Medicaid. It seems interesting that those who paid into the system will be lumped together with the indigent offspring of illegal aliens.

Obama is starting to have the same sort of smirk when he lies as Bill Clinton. Notice the deception when he leans forward.

Never underestimate an enemy or his observations, and most especially, never underestimate the hun within the gate. Barack the Hun believes that we as a nation should be taken down a peg or two, and he is in the process of doing it. Unilaterally imposing crippling conditions on our people--one of his schemes is to quadruple the cost of gasoline, electricity, natural gas, and heating fuel--that will make more and more of us wards of the state. Gosh, I wonder who might benefit from that?

The first massive handout funded by intergenerational theft failed, so let's print some more checks. While we are busily bloating the federal budget and its cadre of federal employees who pander to wards of the state, let's send some federal welfare checks to the states so that they won't have to lay off any members of the National Education Association or the State and Local employees organizations.

Speaking of taxation without representation, czars who don't answer directly to taxpayers or periodically have to stand for election seem to be sprouting out of the ground like mushrooms.

Carbon Tax, My Axe

Let's be clear about it; the term temporary tax is an oxymoron. The modern US income tax began in 1913, and it remains an albatross around the collective neck of American workers. It is workers, wage earners, and other people who make money legally who pay taxes. Those who can afford tax attorneys an CPA firms can counter the treachery of the pencil whippers and other government hoods like Barney the Bolshevik Frank and mitigate or avoid most taxation. Welfare recipients do not pay taxes; they merely return some of the money that government confiscated from its earners back to the taxing agents.

Now we are faced with another permanent back door tax in the name of the secular environmental god's proclamation, Kneecap and Rape. This euphemistically named carbon tax is a global redistribution of wealth scam in which US workers' tax dollars will be given to other nations as apologies for being successful capitalists while Chinese and Indian pollution increases exponentially along with their respective populations.

Advocates of this scheme offer no more than propaganda, lies, and disinformation as justification. Perhaps this is because they are unfamiliar with the bill. More likely, they simply cannot be bothered with such mundane activities as poring over the details of their robbing the people of the fruits of their labor.

Finally, lest we forget the legislative lineage of Barack the Benevolent (with others' resources) this bill was proposed by him and his cohorts.

Thoughtcrime & Speechcrime for Me but not Thee

If you believe that you have not broken any federal laws, think again. Federal statutes are a bit like the King James bible's Old Testament, if you read long enough, you can find something that can be contrived in such a way that it can be used to persecute the innocent. For the crimethink of failing to anticipate all of the many deceitful interpretations of statutes and regulations that government lawyers can invent to suppress freethought and individual expression, people are being bankrupted and imprisoned.

The underlying philosophy of the government's persecutors is that the accused are assumed to be guilty of crimes in general for which they must be punished. The mere accusations are proof of guilt in and of themselves because the state would not squander precious resources persecuting the innocent.

First, the accused are publicly discredited by compliant media sources; this threatens their livelihoods. Then, their finances are depleted by legal expenses as they are further discredited in court. Only the very wealthy or fortunate are exonerated on appeal to higher courts; nonetheless, even then, they are left destitute by the expense of appeals trials and face limited earning prospects and even greater difficulty clearing their names. To be accused is to be punished.

We have entered an era in which citizens are being oppressed by government for insufficient pandering. The insufficient part of this formula is a classic example of the cerebrally challenged notthink of question begging. Leftist politicians and their bureaucratic lackeys take the position that citizens should be obligated by law, policy, and regulation to facilitate the ignoble aims of self-proclaimed professional victims, regardless whether whether they are merely victims of their own choices. This should come as little surprise with O-BigFibber leading the way.

Whereas people were once ostracized for lying, we have now elected a prevaricator-in-chief who is completely in sync with the national education guild that reveres dishonesty as critical thinking. His ideological twin Pelosi the Pink has told more lies in the last year than both Clintons combined. Add to those lies the ones spewed by Red Harry Reid, and there is enough deception to send the entire Democratic Party to hell. Unfortunately, one result is that the country is on the road to ruin along with them.

Cell Phone Lobotomy, or Where is MADD?

You've seen them; they are the simpletons who have too little ram to converse and drive simultaneously but do so to the peril of others. He is slouched down in the driver's seat with the top of his head barely visible just to the left of the headrest. Dumbo steers with the thumb and index finger of his left hand and mashes the phone against his face with his right.

The audio system is jacked up to such decibel levels that the vehicle's sides bulge outward with each base note. The driver, to use the term loosely, is oblivious to the cars that are steadily passing him on his right as he slinks along in the fast lane at 5 mph. below the posted speed limit. The boy genius is tooling blithely along in an erotic stupor as he describes in lurid detail what he plans to do that evening with the object of his desire who is on the other end of the conversation.

That object is driving to a mega mall with three of her friends who are all yakking vapidly about their social lives on their own cell phones. The rear view mirror is tilted conveniently so that she can switch from checking her hair and makeup, critiquing what her friends are wearing, and looking to see whether any cute guys are following them. For her, the view outside the windshield has taken on the appearance of a cartoon as she mentally creates a new persona to upload to the Web with her Yoostar so that she can impress her buddies with it.

The government that wants to micromanage your life to a point that it chooses your doctor for you can't protect children from predators. That same government has squandered a trillion tax dollars propping up industries that are collapsing from the weight of Congressional over-regulation and taxation. However, it cannot protect you, your friends, or loved ones from being maimed and mangled by feckless dimwits who are engaging in mindless mutual ego massaging as they travel the nation's roadways. It is up to us.

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength

Hmmm, so "Obama has pledged to restore the rule of law," has he? By law, Ol'BigEars certainly does not mean the US Constitution and its amendments. If that were the case, he would have stopped all spending on the federal Education Department. Additionally, states' participation in Medicaid would be voluntary rather than mandatory and have been made the responsibility of the individual states. If his claim were truthful, Democrats' welfare health care scam would not be a blatant violation of the Constitution. Government Motors stocks owned by taxpayers would be sold to the highest bidder, and Little Timmy Geithner would be replaced with someone whose economic philosophy reflects that of the Chicago School.

Another of O-BeanBrain's claims, that he wants to spread around other people's wealth, is so selective in its application that it also deserves scrutiny. One way to spread around wealth would be to help tax paying hourly wage earners by eliminating separate taxpayer funded pension plans and health benefits for all non-military government employees, starting with Congress. Double dipping former National Education Association members currently employed by the federal Education Department should find the public retirement trough unavailable, too.

So far, the Obamadroids have have used Pelosi's Caldron to fashion an evil synthesis comprised of Soviet socialism and the Nazi corporate state--they were different parts of the same whole--to create government endowed capitalism that reeks mightily of the US Postal Service's snail mail.

Digital Exam for America

Finally, some of the details of the Obamatrons' plans to further the scope of the theft-welfare state are beginning to emerge. They were planned to be unveiled on Friday afternoon when fewer people notice. This is a favorite tactic of the ruling class wanna-be group, to disseminate news and trial balloons when the national audience is smallest, but the scam has been leaked.

Small businesses, the most prolific creators of new jobs in this nation, will get the green weenie but not big labor or its bureaucrats. In a stunning turn of events--gosh and gasp--do you suppose that this scam will result in more unemployed and more O-bots to care for them?

The nation's watchdog on federal spending is the Congressional Budget Office. This report belies claims from the ObamaMommies that their health care hustle will lower federal spending on healthcare entitlements; actually, it will increase it. One such infamous federal shafting of taxpayers came in the form of the unfunded mandate known as Medicaid. Individual states are required by the feds to find ways to pay for Congress' largesse with state taxpayers' money. Margaret Thatcher was right, the problem with socialism is that "eventually you run out of other people's money." Unfortunately we have run out of money, period.

Those who would complain find little recourse. In a tradition described by Nat Hentoff in his book Free Speech for me but not for Thee, the folks from the O-boomboom Room continue to fetter free speech, especially when it exposes their schemes. It seems that there is little coverage of this from their ethical soulmates, the Presstitutes.
