He's black & white, but they're just YELLOW!

Read an article by Howell Raines, The New York Times editor who had to resign due to the plagiarism by Jayson Blair.  He talks of Fox News and how biased they are, even though his rag is the most biased piece of crap and yellow journalism than there ever existed.  He puts down Rupert Murdoch and tried to undermine Roger Ailes.  I hate to tell him this, but Rupert Murdoch is MUCH smarter than he is, and he will be unable to plant seeds of discontent in a superior mind.  This article appeared in the Washington Post by this New York Times editor, fired for plagiarism.  There has never been two more liberal rags with a bias of HATE for the Republican party – than the New York Times and Washington Post.

The reason Fox has more viewers is people are searching for unbiased news.  Fox has their Democratic voices in SURPLUS: Chris Wallace, Geraldo Rivera, Shepard Smith, Mort Kondracke, Juan Williams, Mara Liasson, Bob Beckel, and the list goes on.  How many known Republicans are on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, and NPR’s staffs?  As far as the liberal rags, they are spread throughout the country.  Thank goodness they are on their way out, as their viewers are turning against them because of those biases and propaganda – all turned on any Republican they HATE at the moment.  Their efforts to push all of Hussein’s policies is not what the people want.  They want what Thomas Paine wanted… trust and honor in the media.  So hail and farewell to you YELLOW journalists!

I see where Hussein is going to replace the No Child Left Behind, put into place by President Bush.  Hussein threw a curve to his own race by doing away starter schools.  Don’t really know if he is doing it for keeping his children from having to mix with poor children or if he is doing it for the teachers unions.  All the unions get Hussein’s loving care because he loves his fellow man so.  Or is it that he encourages unions to keep inept and non-performing employees so they will be grateful and vote for him?  In doing so, the unions can continue heir FARCE of WORKING and making work rules that require two men to do one man’s job.  More companies have been DESTROYED by union rules than by the economy or ANY other reason.

The Democrats owe their seats in Congress to the unions and the actions the Democrats take to support the unions causes, even if those causes are a detriment to the country.  What I can’t understand is why the parents of the charter school kids in DC voice NO outrage at Hussein’s cancellation of the program.

Now I hear that UPS wants rules changed for their company, which would be unfair to other parcel services.  I guess they think anyone and everyone can get a bailout… where is mine?

The weak shall perish ~ Obama

I am writing this as a candidate to be abandoned and delivered to death by the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress with their health care bill.  I am 77 years old, nearly 78 – I have diabetes, gout, osteoarthritis, had a heart valve replacement, bypass surgery, congestive heart failure,  and just spent two months in the hospital and rehab from a stroke.  Do you think they want to spend any money on me?  I think not.  There was a time when age was respected and revered, especially by the Asian countries where the elders ruled the roost.  My value now is only to my family.

This small article is only a pin-prick to the Obama administration.  I am sure they won’t miss me, so depriving me of health care will only please them.  I am sure those old Senators and Representatives now in Congress, where 237 of them are millionaires, will not lack for health care to keep them alive.  We need them… or do we?  I think all you sickly people over 50 should start worrying.

Now, for all you women, the first shot has been fired at you by the Obama administration.  Now you are encouraged to wait until 50 for a mammogram, and then only every two years.  That will save you worry, they say.  I say it will save them money.

As usual, the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren’t receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a “global budget” on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine.Like most of Europe, the various health bills stipulate that Congress will arbitrarily decide how much to spend on health care for seniors every year—and then invest an unelected board with extraordinary powers to dictate what is covered and how it will be paid for. White House budget director Peter Orszag calls this Medicare commission “critical to our fiscal future” and “one of the most potent reforms.”

AP

On that last score, he’s right. Prominent health economist Alain Enthoven has likened a global budget to “bombing from 35,000 feet, where you don’t see the faces of the people you kill.”

As envisioned by the Senate Finance Committee, the commission—all 15 members appointed by the President—would have to meet certain budget targets each year. Starting in 2015, Medicare could not grow more rapidly on a per capita basis than by a measure of inflation. After 2019, it could only grow at the same rate as GDP, plus one percentage point.

The theory is to let technocrats set Medicare payments free from political pressure, as with the military base closing commissions. But that process presented recommendations to Congress for an up-or-down vote. Here, the commission’s decisions would go into effect automatically if Congress couldn’t agree within six months on different cuts that met the same target. The board’s decisions would not be subject to ordinary notice-and-comment rule-making, or even judicial review.

Yet if the goal really is political insulation, then the Medicare Commission is off to a bad start. To avoid a senior revolt, Finance Chairman Max Baucus decided to bar his creation from reducing benefits or raising the eligibility age, which meant that it could only cut costs by tightening Medicare price controls on doctors and hospitals. Doctors and hospitals, naturally, were furious.

So the Montana Democrat bowed and carved out exemptions for such providers, along with hospices and suppliers of medical equipment. Until 2019 the commission will thus only be allowed to attack Medicare Advantage, the program that gives 10 million seniors private insurance choices, and to raise premiums for Medicare prescription drug coverage, which is run by private contractors. Notice a political pattern?

But a decade from now, such limits are off—which also happens to be roughly the time when ObamaCare’s spending explodes. The hard budget cap means there is only so much money to be divvied up for care, with no account for demographic changes, such as longer life spans, or for the increasing incidence of diabetes, heart disease and other chronic conditions.

Worse, it makes little room for medical innovations. The commission is mandated to go after “sources of excess cost growth,” meaning treatments that are too expensive or whose coverage will boost spending. If researchers find a pricey treatment for Alzheimer’s in 2020, that might be banned because it would add new costs and bust the global budget. Or it might decide that “Maybe you’re better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller,” as President Obama put it in June.

In other words, the Medicare commission would come to function much like the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, which rations care in England. Or a similar Washington state board created in 2003 to control costs. Its handiwork isn’t pretty.

The Washington commission, called the Health Technology Assessment, is manned by 11 bureaucrats, including a chiropractor and a “naturopath” who focuses on alternative, er, remedies like herbs and massage therapy. They consider the clinical effectiveness but above all the cost of medical procedures and technologies. If they decide something isn’t worth the money, then Olympia won’t cover it for some 750,000 Medicaid patients, public employees and prisoners.

So far, the commission has banned knee arthroscopy for osteoarthritis, discography for chronic back pain, and implantable infusion pumps for pain not related to cancer. This year, it is targeting such frivolous luxuries as knee replacements, spinal cord stimulation, a specialized autism therapy and MRIs of the abdomen, pelvis or breasts for cancer. It will also rule on routine ultrasounds for pregnancy, which have a “high” efficacy but also a “high” cost.

Currently, the commission is pushing through the most restrictive payment policy in the nation for drug-eluting cardiac stents—simply because bare metal stents are cheaper, even as they result in worse outcomes. If a patient is wheeled into the operating room with chest pains in an emergency, doctors will first have to determine if he’s covered by a state plan, then the diameter of his blood vessels and his diabetic condition to decide on the appropriate stent. If they don’t, Washington will not reimburse them for “inappropriate care.”

If Democrats impose such a commission nationwide, it would constitute a radical change in U.S. health care. The reason that physician discretion—not Washington’s cost-minded judgments—is at the core of medicine is that usually there are no “right” answers. The data from large clinical trials produce generic conclusions that rarely apply to individual patients, who have vastly different biologies, response rates to treatments, and often multiple conditions. A breakthrough drug like Herceptin, which is designed for a certain genetic subset of breast-cancer patients, might well be ruled out under such a standardized approach.

It’s possible this global budget could become an accounting fiction, like the automatic Medicare cuts Congress currently pretends it will impose on doctors. But health care’s fiscal pressures will be even stronger than they are today if ObamaCare passes in anything like its current form. And that is when politicians will want this remote, impersonal and unaccountable central committee to do the inevitable dirty work of denying care.

The only way to take the politics out of health care is to give individuals more power to control medical dollars. And the first step should be not to create even more government spending commitments. The core problem with government-run health care is that it doesn’t make decisions in the best interests of patients, but in the best interests of government.

Governor Sarah Palin has started her book tour allowing her entrance into the political arena.  This has given purpose to the mainstream media.  They didn’t hate Bush until he was elected.  However, Sarah has generated hate from them because of the possibility she may run for President and they want to get started destroying her as soon as they can.  I can imagine that would make Chris Matthews lose control of his kidneys.  He has such trouble with his body!

E.J. Dionne Jr, of the Washington Post and Evan Thomas, of Newsweek, probably have been meeting regularly to perfect their plan to terminate the possibility of Sarah running for President.  I wonder if their wives are real people with opinions of their own.

Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of General Electric, has a vast influence with Obama because of him having his TV arms politicking for Obama – I mean NBC and MSNBC.  What will happen to him when Sarah defeats Obama?  I know if she was elected with a Republican majority, we would have an energy program where natural gas would be available for all our country’s needs and available even for exporting to South America.  Also, there would be oil from our country available for export to other countries.  Can you imagine how this would affect our balance of payments?  It would also help the normal, average American citizen to have cheap energy for their auto use, electricity, and manufacturing.

We know most of the elitists live in cities and have use of private planes and airlines for their travel.  They don’t have any need for commuting to work, shopping, doctors visits, children school affairs, etc..  Elitists don’t worry about these things.  As you know, Obama and Al Gore want fuel for cars to be expensive to help with “global warming”, which in and of itself is a SCAM!

A few remarks I wish to make:

• At one time the magazines TIME, Newsweek, and US News and World Report were read by more people than any other news journal.  But this is no more.  They are just failing liberal rags that hardly anyone reads and are, fortunately, on their way out.
• I used to watch all three of the Law & Order programs, but a short time ago, about three or four months, they went political and lost entertainment value and I haven’t watched any of them since and never will.  Anyone else for a boycott?
• Just want Fox to know we don’t have to see the Fort Hood terrorist’s picture on TV over and over.  He is NOT THAT PRETTY TO ME!  Also have been wondering how come Obama is seen hundreds of times daily on cable news programs?  Also, how come they called President Bush Mr. Bush and said “the President” when referring to him but not “President Bush”?
• Have heard no one say how they are going to protect the jurors in this decision made by the Obama administration to move the terrorists trials to New York City, as in the case of the SEIU goons who told people “We know where you live!”  Besides this, what person is going to want to be a juror for two to ten years?  Also, who wants to be considered a peer of terrorists?  The only terrorist that might reasonably have been tried here would have been the Fort Hood terrorist, Nidal Malik Hasan.  The first Muslim terrorist to kill their own military companions was in Iraq, when he rolled a grenade into a shared tent.  What ever happened to him?
• When will the Black Panther Muslims who refused to let people vote be tried?  I don’t trust this Obama Justice Department and their Muslim friends.
• Eric Holder says he thought very carefully before bringing the terrorists to New York – I suppose the same way he let off the 16 FALN terrorists and Marc Rich, a well known international commodities thief.  Frankly, I don’t believe a word Eric Holder says.  He has been a Democratic hatchet man for years.  How he was ever given the position of Attorney General is beyond me.

How Eric Holder fixed the FALN pardons

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 9, 2009 10:18 AM

The Los Angeles Times, mirabile dictu, breaks from the Obamedia pack and does some digging into Attorney General nominee Eric Holder’s past history as a political fixer for the Puerto Rican FALN terrorists (hat tip – Debra).

Attorney general nominee Eric H. Holder Jr. repeatedly pushed some of his subordinates at the Clinton Justice Department to drop their opposition to a controversial 1999 grant of clemency to 16 members of two violent Puerto Rican nationalist organizations, according to interviews and documents…

…President Clinton’s decision to commute prison terms caused an uproar at the time. Holder was called before Congress to explain his role but declined to answer numerous questions from angry lawmakers demanding to know why the Justice Department had not sided with the FBI, federal prosecutors and other law enforcement officials, who were vehemently opposed to the grants.

Some religious groups and influential individuals, including President Carter, had endorsed the commutations. But Clinton’s decision outraged law enforcement officials, who had tried to contain a bombing campaign in New York, Chicago and elsewhere in the 1970s and 1980s by groups seeking independence for Puerto Rico from the United States.

New interviews and an examination of previously undisclosed documents indicate that Holder played an active role in changing the position of the Justice Department on the commutations.

Holder instructed his staff at Justice’s Office of the Pardon Attorney to effectively replace the department’s original report recommending against any commutations, which had been sent to the White House in 1996, with one that favored clemency for at least half the prisoners, according to these interviews and documents.

And after Pardon Attorney Roger Adams resisted, Holder’s chief of staff instructed him to draft a neutral “options memo” instead, Adams said.

The options memo allowed Clinton to grant the commutations without appearing to go against the Justice Department’s wishes, Adams and his predecessor, Margaret Colgate Love, said in their first public comments on the case.

“I remember this well, because it was such a big deal to consider clemency for a group of people convicted of such heinous crimes,” said Adams, the agency’s top pardon lawyer from 1997 until 2008. He said he told Holder of his “strong opposition to any clemency in several internal memos and a draft report recommending denial” and in at least one face-to-face meeting. But each time Holder wasn’t satisfied, Adams said.

The 16 members of the FALN (the Spanish acronym for Armed Forces of National Liberation) and Los Macheteros had been convicted in Chicago and Hartford variously of bank robbery, possession of explosives and participating in a seditious conspiracy. Overall, the two groups had been linked by the FBI to more than 130 bombings, several armed robberies, six slayings and hundreds of injuries.

Campaign underwritten by late-term abortionist: Republicans BEWARE!

The evil treo: Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler, and Patrick Leahy are hard at work trying to demonize the past Bush administration as Obama is trying to do the country and is carrying that message throughout the world.  The Democratic party and their hatemongers they have in power now are not the type to stand up and cheer for their country.  In fact, they wouldn’t even defend it.  Thank God we do have some people now and in the past that were and would be willing to sacrifice their lives to keep her safe and secure from without, but unfortunately, at the present time, the danger for America is from within with the elected officials.  How that happened is beyond me and a matter of amazement to many Americans.

Those that serve have had a member of the President’s cabinet declaring them a danger to the country they defended.  This should be a matter of shame to all Americans and the resignation of Janet Napolitano SHOULD but WON’T be demanded by Barack Hussein Obama.  Another considered a possible addition to the Obama cabinet is someone who lied about getting massive amounts of money for her campaign from an illegal abortion provider – that person is Kathleen Sebelius.  She will, undoubtedly, join a select group of tax-cheats, lobbyists, and Janet Napolitano defying description as the President’s advisers.  Any Republican Senator who votes their approval for her in the Senate should be voted out themselves.

I don’t know why Obama hasn’t paid a conciliatory visit to the Taliban leader yet, and of course why hasn’t he visited and apologized to Hamas and Osama Bin Laden?  My feeling is he should apologize to all Americans for the way he has put them down and even his Secretary of Homeland Security has classified veterans as a danger and threat to the United States.  I think his administration should give apologies all around to his countrymen, or is he a man without a country only holding allegiance to himself?  Did Chavez give Obama pointers while he was greeting him – destroying your opponents in any way you can.  However, we are not a third-world dictatorship – good thing!

The UN is calling for prosecution of Bush administration lawyers authorizing the practice of waterboarding.  The UN, in my opinion, is not equipped to fault anyone.  Remember their UN peace-keepers raping young children?  This is about the same as Barney Frank blaming the financial meltdown on the Bush administration.  My opinion on both of these is GET OUT OF THE UN, raze the UN building, send Barney Frank to be ambassador to Siberia.

Has Barney Frank married one of his lovers since the state of Massachusetts has authorized gay marriage, or is he still playing the field with interns?  Wonder what Joe Biden has said to Barney that is earth-shaking as he did, supposedly, to President Bush.  Question: Is Joe Biden a narcissist or just plain psychotic?  God forbid anything should happen to Obama and place a LIAR and PLAGIARIST in the position of PRESIDENT!  Obama could use this as one of his arguments for good healthcare.

I think Noriega and Chavez rubbed off on Obama.  He apparently would make a good third-world dictator.  He may not know it, but he could be fomenting revolution with his actions.  No other President has ever tried to manage the media to attack his predecessor.  This is the practice of Chavez and Noriega as they are doing now with people who voted for others who had to flee for their lives.  We can only hope that Obama will, at some time in the future, get out from under the influence of the teachers union, who he had to placate by doing away with charter schools for poor kids in DC.  Both he and his education nominee should feel very ashamed of themselves.  They are not the only people Obama has to cater to.  He is a hostage of DailyKos, MoveOn.org, George Soros, all unions, Huffington Post, and organizations like ACORN who helped in ways legal and illegal to get Obama elected.  If he ever gets to be his own man and stops being ashamed of his country, he may become an acceptable President.

His desire is to make our healthcare the same as Europe’s and Canada’s where you have to wait for care sometimes until it gets to be too late and you die.  That is, of course, unless you are one of the elitists who expect and get special care and benefits.  I don’t know why Europeans and Canadians come to this country for care, but I have heard it’s due to long waits for any serious health problems.

Of course he and the Democrats are saying we shouldn’t have to buy foreign oil and they won’t let drilling be done offshore and in Alaska.  It doesn’t make sense.  It’s as if they have a mental block.  Their solar energy will not work because it requires so much water, and water is going to be the greater problem in the future than energy.  Windmills on their own will not make it.  We will still need oil and nuclear plants and we should start working on both.  Just because there is a surplus, currently, of oil and gas does not mean we should take no thought for tomorrow.  Tomorrow will be quite contrary if the Obama administration has their way and get their carbon tax or card check they so greatly desire.  Let’s hope they don’t get their way.

Will they turn the camera off of Big O for a day?

Will start this article with a question…

Why are the tea parties not being reported – even Fox, that supposed bastion of Conservatism, will mentioned they happened but as for camera coverage and reporters covering them it just doesn’t exist.  If there were ten Code Pink people demonstrating about ANYTHING camera coverage and reporters covering this would have been all over the networks, and the newspapers would be showing them with all kinds of gimmicks to make the crowds look larger.  The same action would have been taken if there had been as many as ten people demonstrating against President Bush.  I expect this lack of coverage by the liberal news channels, but it would seem to me that Fox, unless it has become one of the liberal media itself, would have brought these tea parties some attention.  I have heard the tea parties mentioned but not shown, however, every word, phrase, or facial change of expression by Obama is reported on over, and over, and over.

Is his saying three words worth more than showing 5,000 demonstrators at a tea party?  How low has Fox gone, giving MSNBC type news.  The coverage of Obama by Ann Compton of ABC and Major Garrett of Fox is given with admiration and awe.  They seem to have the same feelings as Chris Matthews with his leg problem.  It seems strange to me how in news coverage it’s now Michelle and not Mrs. Obama.  It was Mrs. Truman, Mrs. Eisenhower, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Nixon, Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Reagan, Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Bush – but the only woman who wasn’t proud of her country is now “Michelle” in the news media, breathless at her fashion sense.

I don’t watch NBC, MSNBC, CBS and ABC, but I would imagine by now they have an alter to Michelle and Big O.  One of Michelle’s outfits causes more news than 5,000 tea party demonstrators – how sad.

There should be three special elections if we want to do the Democratic thing.  First would be the election between Al Franken and Norm Coleman – Franken, to run, had to pay back taxes owed in 17 states, which is a normal thing for Democrats when they seek office.  Coleman won by 625 votes, but when recount was done with a few crooked actions such as 30 ballots found in a car trunk (all for Franken) Franken was in the lead – how special.  Even though ACORN helped in the original election, Coleman won.  And now it would seem they have effectively stolen it from him.

Another election that needs re-doing is the one in Alaska, where charges were placed against Stevens a week before the election and Begich won by 4,000 votes – shades of the DUI charges against Bush the Friday before the election.

Another election needed is to replace Roland Burris, who gave perjured testimony.  Democracy demands that these actions be taken.  There should be a commission formed to spot-check the census counts that will be taken by ACORN, union workers, and possibly felons.  As you can see, the Obama administration is planning ahead.  They have stopped deporting illegal immigrants so they can be counted in the census.  They plan on changing many districts to increase their majority, and if they get away with it the nation will suffer.

As far as arrogance goes, speak for yourself Obama.  I don’t think those Americans that fell on Flanders Field in World War I were arrogant, as they were placed in French graves.  I don’t think that those Americans that fell on D-day and are placed in graves in rows in French soil were arrogant.  I don’t think the American citizens that paid the taxes to fund the Marshall plan to recover Europe were arrogant.  I think YOU, Obama, are an arrogant son of a camel.  I think Europe is arrogant, disrespectful, ungrateful, and have insulted our dead… you know, the ones who fell on THEIR soil.  And YOU, Obama, have insulted our dead and wounded soldiers and I DESPISE YOU.  It was arrogance that YOU showed when you FIRED a CEO of a company.  Why didn’t YOU fire the union leader that put this company in this position?  Because they are your hired guns and YOU are a low-down miserable wretch bent on destroying our country, which YOU probably don’t have the LEGAL RIGHT to be an American.

You surely don’t deserve to be an American much less the President.  You shame me, my own, and every proud member of America.  I know that you, your administration, and Timothy Geithner, that tax dodging jerk, have nefarious actions planned for banks and all kinds of industries, and I don’t know but I think the American people will STOP you.  I don’t believe you have enough gimme people in the Democratic party to allow you to override real Americans.  I wish Obama would stay in Europe where he is so appreciated and I would appreciate that.

In closing, I wish to say the evil men do live after them.  There is no good in your bones!
