Obamacare Discourse

 

Since its inception, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has been the topic of hot dispute. In order to save space, I will refer to conservatives as C and liberals as L.

C – This bill has become too expensive.

L – You hate poor people.

C – Costs were underestimated and have tripled.

L – You hate poor people.

C – Additional regulations will reduce our workforce.

L – You are racist.

C – Workers will have to work less than 30 hours/week.

L – You are racist.

C – Regulations will force insurers out of the picture.

L – You want to shut down the government.

C – The size of the bill is too massive and complicated.

L – You want to shut down the government.

C – The president lied when he said you could keep your      insurance plan.

L – You hate the president because you are racist.

C – Healthcare decisions will be made by the IRS.

L – You want to shut down the government.

C – Why do we need the bill worded in 180 languages?

L – You want to shut down the government, you racist.

C – Insurance prices are rising because the bill forces insurers to comply with ridiculous demands.

L – You are against women’s rights and poor people.

C – Information you supply when you apply may be used for identity theft; there is no guarantee.

L – You hate the president because you are racist.

C – When you apply on line, the website does not work.

L – Give it time, you racist.

C – Government programs are rife with fraud.

L – You hate poor people.

C- Implementation of the bill is not fair, there are exclusions for certain groups.

L – You want to shut down the government.

C – Seniors over 70 with catastrophic illnesses will be given only palliative care.

L – You hate women.

I think you get the idea, any objection to the burdensome implementation of Obamacare is met not with rational explanations, but with irrational accusations. And the taxpayers are forced to pay the price. Will the penalty they incur be extracted from their 1040? We will see.

I once heard a comedienne whose routine included a reference to people who are nasty. She said that when they want to scare you they say, “F— you”. Her opinion was that that was not really a scary thing to say and if they really wanted to intimidate you they should say, “Audit you!”. It was funny at the time, but I would be careful about asking too many questions when you sign up. Since the IRS will be administering the program, the response is likely to be “Audit you!”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO NOT READ THIS

After the most recent financial crisis and reopening of the government, the president spoke to the American people telling them not to read what bloggers write and not to listen to talk radio. Did he sign another executive order making himself the supreme ruler of the country?!? While he has diminished many of our freedoms, I still have the right to think for myself; I do not need him to tell me what to think or to give me permission for anything. Raise your hand, Mr. President, if you think you are God. News flash: YOU ARE NOT!  You may control what most of the media puts out, but that is because THEY are the racists and are afraid to say what is true. When you speak the truth, there is no fear. When your point of view is biased, your fears are manifested in an attack on the truth and most cowards, unable to see the truth because of their bias, will strike out at the truth in any way they can. Mom always said that people accuse you of the things they are guilty of. More and more, I find she was right.

Did the president really think that anyone would listen to him after his litany of lies and broken promises? Really smart Americans will seek out the sources he referred to. Of course, if you have been educated in the public school system and indoctrinated in one of our liberal colleges, you probably cannot think for yourself. Fortunately, my critical thinking ability is intact; I went to a parochial school where we learned proper English and mathematics. Your fawning press can only repeat what you tell them so you think that all of us should fall into a slavish adoring public. Sorry, sir, I can’t even stand to watch your appearances and must change the channel before I get sick. I just do not want to hear another lie; is that so wrong? When I was growing up, I broke some rules, as most children will. There were reprimands for the misdeed but lying would yield a double punishment. Somehow, I think that lesson was never taught in your home.

REPUBLICANS SURRENDER

A vicious and vile name calling attack has had its desired effect. Once again, the American people are the losers. I think our first republican president is turning over in his grave. He paid the ultimate price to unite the country, though there was massive opposition. No one is asking today’s politicians to pay that price, but some backbone would do nicely. A pox on politics as usual. It is past the time to reverse the trend. The liberal lies to the populace have to be exposed. Damn the protocol! Joe Wilson (SC) was right when he said, “you lie” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgce06Yw2ro  Joe was right but protocol demanded an apology for his passionate outburst. I think the president should have to apologize for his lies, all of them. Our “liar-in-chief” cannot appear publicly without lying; and yet the media does not hold him accountable. They worship at his feet accusing anyone who disagrees with him of being a racist. Conservatives do not give a damn about the color of his skin; it is his political agenda with which they disagree. Lying is an abomination, or in his case an ‘obamanation’.

The inquiries into Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal, etc. have to be fast tracked. This president should be subpoenaed to appear before Congress and answer why no one has been, in his words, “held accountable”. He has used his position to intimidate those who would stand in his way. He has defended the rights of terrorists rather than the rights of American citizens and soldiers. His administration (and by extension he too) has extolled Islam while punishing Christianity. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it isn’t necessarily Duck Dynasty.

Regarding the low polls: ignore them! Numbers can be made to say whatever the pollster wants to convey; you just ask the questions of the right (or wrong) people. The ‘divide and conquer’ strategy appears to have worked, in this case. Let that be a lesson. As for the verification of income to qualify for Obamacare, that point is a big fat nothing! The only verification that will be done will be on conservative applicants. We already know about the IRS bias so, if you are a Christian or a Tea Party member, expect to have your income verified and probably have to pay more and wait longer to have treatments approved. Liberals will be given a free ride and will most likely include names like Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and other fictitious names as discovered in previous elections.

Despite what the media tries to convey, the Tea Party conservatives have the right approach. They are the heart and soul of America and their very existence scares the hell out of liberals. I hope they will wear the name calling as a badge of honor and a sign that they are feared. Yes, I am a political arsonist; I want to burn out the cronyism and blaze a path, once again, to American freedom.
