I have not thought about this… GREAT POINTS!!
I now have a more enhanced understanding on healthcare bill after watching this!!
This 5 minute video really captures it all.
Please watch it and share!
Concluding question…
What did you learn? If this is the best Montana has to offer… then they are not so bright.
Up Next – Fly Naked – Part II
If you have not been keeping up with developments regarding the ALLEGED recent bombing attempt that ALLEGEDLY occurred on Northwest Flight #253 then you are missing quite the circus. (More on that in the next post.)
In my most humble opinion I offer you my thoughts on how to insure something like this never happens again – and for that matter – reduces the risks of bombs on planes virtually altogether: FLY NAKED!
In all reality our choices are becoming less and less. As I see it, the government seems to react to each incident and punish the innocent. The shoe bomber is the reason you take off your shoes and put your toothpaste in a bag and 9-11 man made disaster specialists are the reason you can’t bring on fingernail clippers.
Here are our choices from this point forward:
What? Did you say profile? Ron – are you an extremist?
No – I am a realist!
Oh wait, I forgot one. Government take over of the airline industry. Once Obama reaches out to the extremists all of this will stop.
For now… Fly Naked!
Since July 2009 I have spoken at a wide variety of political events. I have made a point to keep my message simple and consistent - get involved and make a difference.
Almost without fail - I am asked “what can we do for this country?”
My answer – get your head out of the sand and get involved. EVEN IF IT SCARES YOU and EVEN IF YOU THINK IT UNIMPORTANT.
So, what do I want for Christmas 2010?
Now if you did not get me a Christmas gift this year, please don’t feel to bad. What I would like you do is donate to worthy conservatives to help get this nation back on track! (Notice I did not say Republicans, I said conservatives!)
My Christmas 2010 target list:
Number 1 – GENE GREEN MUST GO! Gene has lost his way. A once blue dog minded democrat, he is now a full blown left of center liberal. His opponent is Frank Mazzapica. Frank needs you. He needs you NOW, not the week before the election, not the week of the election… HE NEEDS YOU NOW. Most importantly, he needs your financial help.
I am fully endorsing Frank!
I have met Frank and had several conversations with him.
His website is http://www.mazzapica4congress.com/meet_mazz.html and he needs your help. If you live in a conservative district, then send some of your political capital to Frank… he needs it and GENE GREEN must go!
Number 2 – SHEILA JACKSON LEE MUST GO! What a gut wrenching embarrassment she is to the greater Houston area. Every time she speaks I want to put fireworks in my ears and light them.
Her opponent is John Faulk. John needs you. He needs you NOW, not the week before the election, not the week of the election… HE NEEDS YOU NOW. Most importantly, he needs your financial help.
I am fully endorsing John! I have met John and in fact, stood beside him at a Shelia Jackson Lee town hall gathering.
His website is http://www.faulkforcongress.org/index.html and he needs your help. If you live in a conservative district that is under control, then send some of your political capital to John… he needs it and SHEILA JACKSON LEE – hailing from Houston Texas - must go!
Number 3 and 4….
There are two more targets for whom I will announce endorsements shortly. I have not vetted their opponents to my satisfaction. I will tell you now though that:
Number 3 – CHET EDWARDS MUST GO! If this is the best Aggie land can do then it is time for some tea sips to takeover!
Number 4 – LAMAR SMITH MUST GO! One word for this man – COWARD!
You know, I am more upset about the lack of integrity from our elected servants than I am about the healthcare bill. Well, maybe not, but it adds fuel to the fire!
Their lack of ethics and and sleazy behavior is no longer acceptable. It is time to remove many of them as well as their counter parts who sit silently by while we are fiscally raped and pillaged.
BACK ROOM DEALS FOR HEALTHCARE…
Screwing #1…
First is the "Cornhusker Kickback," $100 million in extra Medicaid money, for Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). He also secured an agreement that his state will not pay for Medicaid coverage for any new recipients – EVER. Yes, forever… they will not pay for new recipients. As a part of the deal, the federal government will pay 100 percent of Nebraska's tab indefinitely for expanding Medicaid for low-income Americans.
Screwing #2…
Second is the "Louisiana Purchase," $100 million in extra Medicaid money for the Bayou State, requested by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). Once she was assured of the money, she changed her vote to yes.
Screwing #3…
Third is the “U Con” deal, Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) had written into the legislation $100 million meant for a medical center in his state.
There are more. These are only the highlights.
________________________________________________
For those of you who voted for these idiots and our Idiot in Chief, is this what you voted for?
Where is the open debate?
Where is the bipartisan “reach across the aisle?”
Where is the transparency?
Why do earmarks remain?
Oh, because it was all lies. Mr. President, you are a failure and a disgrace. You are not man enough to carry the shield of title you have been gifted.
It is time for change!
So the other day I go into a tire store near my house. I only needed one tire to replace a flat one on my pollution producing, bad for the environment, Dodge Ram 2500.
As I approach the counter I realize it is only me and the tire dude in the shop. As I walk up I say, “yo’ tire dude… I need that Goodyear 7000. It seems you have it on sale for $99.00.”
He turns and says, “sorry man, you are going to get the Goodyear 10 and it will cost you $650.00. Had you already had the Goodyear 7000 then you could have got it for $99.00 but you don’t - so you will get and pay for what we give you.”
I turn to him and say “sorry man, that cost is out of my league and that tire is not designed for my truck. Looks like I will be driving it on the spare for a few more days. Actually, I think I will just park it in the driveway, that will be my Winter Solstice gift to Al Gore.”
As I turn to walk out of the door I now notice two employees standing between me and the door. One of them looks at me and says “sir, you are confused! You are buying the tire today whether you want it or not. Give me you credit card.” I then notice the other brandishing a tire tool in his hand.
Now surely you can imagine my feeling of fear and chagrin at that moment. In fact, I bet if this had happened to you it would have scared you to death. But I bet as this was happening to me you were home in your cozy warm house, snuggled up by the fire, watching some football OR maybe you were out Winter Solstice shopping OR maybe you were at a soccer game OR maybe you were sleeping OR maybe you were with family celebrating the non-religious holiday season and labeling conservatives as lunatics, OR maybe you had your head shoved in the sand waiting for someone else to save me from my trouble that day and saying nothing like that could ever happen in America!
As I stood at the back door facing two men determined not to let me leave, I looked outside to see a police officer walking into the shop. What a sense of relief that was! As soon as he walked in I proceed to tell him what was happening. To my surprise, he looks at me and says… “Sir, that all sounds fine, but if you don’t buy the tire today I am going to have to arrest and fine you. So why don’t you just shut your mouth and give them your credit card?” He continues, “I know this tire is not the tire you want or need for your truck, but you must buy it or you will go to jail.”
I take a deep breath and asked “WHAT?”
He responds, “the federal government has decided that all vehicles must now use the Goodyear 10. You have no choice. Now the fine Senators and Representatives and the Emperor all use the Goodyear 7000 but It is now a crime for YOU NOT to have a Goodyear 10. It is now punishable with one year in jail and a $25,000.00 fine. I realize the tires of the past have served you well. I realize that you worked hard to pay for them, but not more! That time of luxurious living is over. Everyone now gets the Goodyear 10, it is what is best for us all.”
“Oh great…” I say “well I just will not drive any longer.”
“Sir” he replies, “while that will be a good thing for the environment, the government has also decided that every person in America must own a motorized vehicle or face jail time and a $25,000.00 fine.”
“But I don’t want a government mandated vehicle. And I don’t want to pay for a government mandated vehicle that I don’t want or need. And I don’t want to buy the Goodyear 10 for the truck I don’t want or need. This is an extra vehicle, it is a privilege to have it. I worked hard to pay for it and I will just park it.”
“No sir, you will not. You have have forgotten that we lost that battle with healthcare on the day CONGRESS - for the first time in history - voted to FORCE AMERCIANS TO PAY FOR AND OWN AN ITEM THEY DID NOT WANT. Sir, this is no different.”
“Sir buy the tire and lets have a Merry Winter Solstice.”
To All My LIBERAL Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my
best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wish.
To My Conservative Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S.
Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) introduced bill number H.R. 4127 that will prevent self-confessed September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and co-conspirators from being tried in a New York City civilian court with the potential protections and rights of an American citizen. The bill would amend the Military Commissions Act of 2009 to make it mandatory that all foreign terrorists (which under amendments this year are now called “alien unprivileged enemy belligerents”) stand trial in a constitutionally established military commission rather than a civilian court. Rep. Gohmert, a former judge and Ranking Member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, released the following statement:
"These self-confessed foreign terrorists helped in the planning and efforts to commit the worst assault against the United States in our country’s history, and the Obama Administration wants to treat them as if they are American citizens. They do not even qualify for treatment as combatants under the Geneva Convention. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators do not deserve to be crowned with the rights of an American citizen on American soil. They are war criminals having admitted to international war crimes and having been captured on foreign battlefields. Their trial in a U.S. District Court would create devastating evidentiary complications, and pose an increased risk to the safety of our nation and citizens.
“Our Constitution offers a better answer in seeking justice. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution provides Congress with the authority to establish Tribunals, and such military commissions provide the requisite due process protections and a fair trial. In fact, it is Congress, not the President or Supreme Court, that is given complete authority to establish all courts and their jurisdictions that are inferior to the Supreme Court under Article III, Sections 1 & 2. Therefore, there is simply no adequate reason to bring these terrorists onto American soil and into the heart of our country’s most densely populated city that they mercilessly attacked. The legislation I am offering is completely constitutional while also more in keeping with our oath to protect this nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It is also a responsibility of the U.S. Congress to offer such a solution to counter the irresponsible judgment of this Administration to voluntarily and unnecessarily bring more fear and terror to New York City.”
Though some officials from Illinois have cited potential new jobs in their area as a reason to bring terrorists stateside, Gohmert does not believe that justifies either the risk of further terrorism or the dangerous precedent of giving war criminals the rights of American citizens.
More than 40 of Congressman Gohmert’s colleagues have already signed on to the bill as original cosponsors, with more expecting to join.
