These two videos were posted online and I just could not let them pass by without posting them to show the depths to which those who are trying to fundamentally transform America will sink to try to enlist support for a health care overhaul that has nothing to do with actually making health care better or more affordable for the working people of this country. I am also amazed that we hear about these 47 million, no 30 million, no 16 million people who do not have health care, but yet no one mentions that any of these destitute people can go to an emergency room and be treated. For????? Nothing! Because of federal laws that require a hospital emergency room to treat a person who presents themselves at that emergency room.
So when politicians say X number of people don't have health insurance. But why is it they don't have health insurance? Some do not have health insurance because they choose not to have it, but you don't ever hear politicians talk about these people. All we hear about is how insurance is too expensive and the poor can't afford health insurance. But, look around, do they smoke? Drink? What kind of car do they drive? What kind of TV do they have and do they have cable tv or satellite? What kind of cellphone do they carry? No one wants to ask these questions because they are afraid the culture police will come after them.
But you know what, the sad fact is, nearly every person that falls onto this list the government has for the uninsured has a flat screen, drives a late model car, has a cellphone, and has either cable tv or satellite tv. There are those that will say you can't tell them they can't have those things! And those people would be correct, I cannot tell them they cannot have those things. However, what I can tell them is that I am not going to pay for their health care insurance, while they continue to enjoy the vices of the culture. I pay for my health insurance through my employer and I pay my bills for my car, tv, and cellphone. So if I pay for mine, why should I have to help pay for someone else's? I mean if they can afford to drive a nice car, have a cellphone, flat screen tv, and cable or satellite tv, why can't they pay for their health care?
The answer is simply this, because for nearly 60 years the federal government has convinced a large segment of the American population that they will take care of their every need. Well after so long of making promises the government hasn't been able to pay for. It is now time for the piper to be paid. We cannot afford to pay for everyone's health care. We can't, nor should we. It is time that personal responsibility return to our shores and maybe just maybe, there is still time for us to save ourselves from the leviathan that is our federal government.

Why is it that no one talks about responsibility when we talk about healthcare?

How can Everything Be Broken?
Is it just me or for the last 12-18 months has everything in the United States been described as "broken"? A year ago under then President George Bush, the TARP plan was passed to save the financial sector that was the victim of it's own misconduct and the American People rejected the TARP bailouts, but our House of Representatives and Senators passed it anyway, because all of those businesses were too "big" to fail. No one and no business is too big to fail! Failure is a part of the learning and growing process and must be realized if we are to continue to be a leader in innovation for the world.
And since then everything has been described as broken or in need of transformation. President Barack Obama stated five days before the election that "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." Personally I don't think America needs to be transformed. Do we have problems yes! Are we perfect? No we are not, however, we are still the greatest, brightest beacon of freedom and hope in the world today.
Our Federal Government does not have the Constitutional power to "fix" everything that the Obama Administration and the Statists in Washington say is "broken".
The American People have spoken out peacefully with and estimated 1.7 million people that showed up in Washington, D. C. last Saturday, September 12th, to protest not President Obama's race, but the socialistic policies that have been simmering under the surface in our government for many decades, of both Republican and Democrat Administrations.
