Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Make no mistake, as Republicans or conservatives, if we don’t vote in this election, we are giving voice to those in the media who willingly betray their noble profession to manufacture a desired outcome. We would be making it easier for them to do something that is not only un-American, but purposely circumvents the will of our Founders.

In trampling the Constitution, these left of center “journalists,” see no problem inventing “facts” to further their partisan agenda. Such as, instead of the 30,000 to 60,000 civilian deaths in Iraq estimated by even some Democrat leaning studies, they tell the voters it’s really 650,000 dead and dare the Administration to knock down the lie.

In case that doesn’t do the trick, these partisan “journalists” think nothing of taking a truly evil video gift wrapped and handed to them by Islamist terrorists that shows American soldiers being murdered by sniper fire, and putting it on the air. Hitler’s propaganda minister surely smiling from Hell as the tape rolls.

Point being, the liberals in the media masquerading as journalists, will do anything to undermine those who don’t bow to their opinion and will. To counter such hubris and totalitarian thinking, we need to vote.

Think of it, not as a vote for those Republicans who have let us down, but rather, a vote in defense of democracy, and against those with unchecked power who seek to weaken that which our soldiers fight to preserve and bestow.

On election day, vote to honor liberty while sending a message to a media that has forgotten its sacred mission.

Insane People !
Many of the posts here show an incredible amount of pure stupidity.

The Dems, having been taken over by the far left, want:

1. A one world government
2. The UN to take over that government
3. Abortion on demand up to and including 9 months at birth.
4. Bigger taxes, including a new taxes. One of those taxes state that since I can
rent my house out for about $1800/month, I should therefore be taxed for that
$21,600 annual amount as the new taxes, because it is worth $1800/month.
5. Socialism
6. Wealth distribution - part of #5
7. Age of consent lowered to 12, so any man can have sex with your 12 year old
daughter.
8. Religion out of any and all public areas, and eventually, private as well.
9. Free speech only for them.
10. Teach 5 & 6 year olds to touch others of their sex to “get in touch with their sexuality.”
11. Create a much more legal role for the ACLU.
12 Want me to be “touchy feely” with those who would cut my head off.

Just for starters. And some here want me to vote for THAT? Are you people insane or what? ANY capitalistic government is preferred to the above!

“Don't ask me for proof of these allegations, I have none. I do not believe the CARJs have meetings to conspire but I do believe they share an ideology. I also believe they use the USSR as their historical model for controlling masses of people to attain power. Most of the Communist Radical Jews immigrated to this country from Europe in the 1920s and 30s bringing their ideology with them which they have passed on to their children.”

This is a crackpot conspiracy theory chock-full of holes (and possibly a few nuts sprinkled in there, as well).

The socialist/communist experiments in the USSR and China were conducted by radical secular humanists. In the name of abolishing all religion and replacing it with the collective state, they killed more people than all religious and civil wars commonly cited to “prove” the barbarism of religion combined. Jews were slain right alongside Russian Orthodox Christians by Stalin’s army.

If anything, Jews seem to be represented in many movements simply because centuries of persecution have ingrained in them an instinct to attempt to go along to get along. I doubt that the author of the above quote knows any practicing Jews.

While there is some case to be made for declaring that secular humanism fits the definition of a religion, it is far more identifiable as a movement that is anti-religion and anti-God. People don’t need any special motivators to choose self over service to God – it’s the most natural choice in the world. People all over the world decide to look out for number one, and they don’t like for anybody to speak to them in a way that might trouble their conscience. A person who is busy about the business of pleasing themselves doesn’t want to consider surrendering their way of life so that they can turn to pleasing others, or pleasing God. To say this behavior is the result of a conspiracy is to say that there is a worldwide conspiracy among two-year-olds to refuse to share toys. If there is a worldwide conspiracy, it is a worldwide conspiracy of sin. Not communism. Not socialism. And certainly not militant Judaism.
