Talking Points and Statements RE: ObamaCare

1) I oppose the President's socialized healthcare plan.

2) Donʼt take my health care hostage. I want to make the best choices concerning my healthcare.

3) Eighty-four percent of Americans say they donʼt want Obamacare or any form of socialized healthcare.

4) I do not want the government to have more control and influence over my health care. That is why I reject the so called “public option” which is really socialized health care and will destroy private options.

5) Americans cannot afford the $1.5 trillion price tag of socialized health care during these difficult economic times. I flatly reject any health care proposal that increases costs or imposes new taxes on any American.

6) The keys to a consumer-centered health care system: a. Competition b. Market Incentives to Control Cost and Improve Services c. Price, Quality, and Value

7) Americaʼs healthcare system is in desperate need of substantial reform. Policy makers should take decisive steps to move todayʼs bureaucracy driven, heavily regulated third-party payment system to a new patientcentered system of consumer choice and real free-market competition.

8) Look at the evidence: the TennCare plan in Tennessee and the government run health care plans from Hawaii and Massachusetts were deeply flawed and have failed. Universal healthcare is a bad idea that will end up devastating our nation. 9) What is exactly covered under Obamacare? Please be specific.

10) Have you ever been treated in a Veteranʼs hospital? Ask a veteran if they are happy with government run health programs, they wait months for substandard, low quality service. Our veterans and citizens deserve better.

Some Pointed Questions About Healthcare Reform

-Will you oppose any healthcare reform bill that uses my tax dollars to pay for abortions?
-Will you oppose any healthcare reform bill that in any way promotes euthanasia? -Why is Congress and the president pushing through a healthcare bill that would cost another trillion dollars over the next ten years? Shouldn't we concentrate on getting the debt under control first?
-How can government promise to do more with less? Will you oppose any healthcare reform bill that in any way limits my access to healthcare or medicines recommended by my doctor?
-Why are you imposing additional mandates and taxes on small businesses, which create the overwhelming majority of new jobs, in the middle of a severe recession?
-Why are you trying to force us in the direction of more government involvement in healthcare when everywhere government-run healthcare has been tried, quality declines and care is rationed?
-Why do you believe bureaucrats can make better decisions than me about what kind of health insurance I should have? And will you guarantee that any healthcare reform bill passed by Congress will always allow me to choose my own doctor?
-Why are you throwing affirmative action/racial set asides into a healthcare reform bill? -Isn't it clear that this provision would drive up the cost of health insurance for everyone?

"We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times." --George Washington

San Diego Sheriff Gore deploys military sonic LRAD area denial weapons at political meetings

LRAD sonic weapon mounted on US Military armored infantry Stryker vehicle

East County Magazine broke a story yesterday that is now starting to get Nationwide attention, and might have a significant effect on the upcoming San Diego County Sheriff's race in 2010, if not sooner.

It appears that Interim Sheriff Bill Gore has decided to deploy high-tech sonic Weapons, designed for military use, at local political gatherings. These are the same LRAD sonic weapons which are currently being deployed against pirates off of the coast of Somalia and against Taliban attackers in Afghanistan by the US Army.

For critics of Bill Gore, this news comes as no surprise. Gore has a history of heavy handed actions toward American citizens. In 1992 he was the FBI's agent in charge of the highly criticized Ruby Ridge incident; issuing "shoot on sight" orders to his snipers and other FBI SWAT Team operators. This resulted in the homicide of the families mother, who was holding her baby in her arms at the time the FBI snipers bullet stuck and killed her. The family's son and family dog were also killed. Gore later plead the fifth at the Senate subcommittee hearing, which heavily criticized the FBI for this incident. The FBI later fired and disciplined numerous members of Gore's FBI assault team, but as the senior agent in charge of the assault, Gore came out apparently unscathed.

When regional reporters asked the Sheriff's staff at the recent events regarding the weapon aspect of the devices, they downplayed the sonic weapon aspect of the LRAD, insisting that it was there to be used for it's hailing capability, if necessary. However, when Bill Gore was interviewed by East County Magazine's Editor Miriam Raftery, he stated that the hailing capability was not the primary purpose of the weapon's deployment...Doh! Considering the Magazine's photo of the LRAD weapon deployment, which appears to have a Sheriff's Search and Rescue member driving the weapon around on the back of a quad ATV, that would have been the perfect opportunity for Gore to assert the LRAD was being used as a Search and Rescue / Public address system; a use the local San Diego manufacturer ATC lists on their website for suggested deployments. Nowhere on ATC's website does it list "Tactical deployment against US Citizen's at political rallies".

Critics of this pre-staging deployment of sonic weapons at political events insist that they could have a chilling effect on free speech rights via intimidation. They could be construed as a modern equivalent to water cannon trucks and rows of riot troops. No doubt historical references to civil rights and labor protests will ensue. This isn't the first time the LRAD weapons have shown up at political events. The NYPD, also not known for the respect of citizen rights, deployed LRAD's an RNC event in New York.

Since the County Board of Supervisors directly appointed Bill Gore as Interim Sheriff last year, they are effectively directly responsible for his controversial actions... wait for that shoe to drop in the coming days.

I wonder if the Sheriff's department has any orders in for the new Thermal Heat Ray guns the US Army is now testing.... Those looked really cool on that high-tech weapons TV show!

How clever Obama and his goon squad think they are.

1. Questions: How do you spell “Health Care Rationing”?
Answer: Here’s how! new guidelines from a government task force that recommends against routine mammograms for women under 50, questioning whether they are tantamount to health care "rationing" in the fight against the No. 2 cancer killer in U.S. women.
2. Question: How does Obama prove his “Stimulus Package” is working?
Answer: Create phantom Congressional Districts. In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.
3. Question: How does Obama cover up his ties to “Islamic Terrorist” and “Islamic Terrorist Attack on American soil?”
Answer: You order the “Senate Armed Services Committee to postponed its Monday briefing” on the deadly Fort Hood massacre until “Obama has time to cover up his connection to the Islamic Terrorist!”

Obama and his Organized Crime Organization, totally Corrupt Administration, and the Socialist Democrats now in the US house and Us Senate have no right to impede or stop any investigation regarding Islamic Terrorist activities in the United States.

Lisa , Muslim is far from many religions , there bible ( Koran ) tells them how they should live , not just pray , and it covers all aspects of life , It also tells them what they should do with people who do not follow there beliefs !!! It is a complete how you should live your life , how government should be run and so on .
Lisa Jensen Comment by Lisa Jensen on November 17, 2009 at 12:55pm
This is scary, is it true????

Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamiszation begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.

Here's how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, for the most part they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for
Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

"Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel." -- Leon Uris, The Haj

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasses. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.

Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.

Finally the NRA has taken a stance on our side! Finally they have officially taken a stance on the obama machine. Below is from an update email the NRA sent out today.

One of the radical ideological appointees embedded in the Obama political machine is a man with a dream for the First Amendment. His name is Mark Lloyd, and as Obama’s “Diversity Czar” at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), he plans to wield immense power over the way Americans can communicate.

In his vision, a day would come when talk radio would be replaced with government-approved “progressive” local radio and by a smothering National People’s Radio.

In his vision . . . Rush Limbaugh would be gone. Glenn Beck, gone. Lou Dobbs, off the air. Sean Hannity, silenced. Laura Ingraham, history. The networks and satellite broadcasters that now carry those broadcasts would be broken up, and their affiliate stations “delicensed,” replaced by “local” licensees--all in the name of diversity.

Free choice would be dead, as would the free flow of ideas. At the same time, government radio would be bloated with funds taken as punitive license fees from remaining commercial broadcasters. In the Orwellian name of “diversity,” censorship will reign.

It is Katrina for the First Amendment.

Well before President Obama began packing the federal bureaucracies with his personal “czars,” I warned of the influence of the George Soros-bankrolled Center for American Progress (CAP).

The man who heads that far-left think tank, John Podesta, ran Obama’s post-election transition team and was key to filling positions in the Obama Chicago-style federal machine. As White House chief of staff, he was one of Bill Clinton’s hatchet men on federal gun control.

Among the most critical targets for Podesta’s transition was the Federal Communications Commission. His most important appointee to the FCC was Mark Lloyd, who as a CAP fellow, authored a George Soros-financed war plan to kill talk radio.

In his powerful FCC post, Lloyd is shaping the critical components of the Obama administration’s backdoor censorship of electronic and digital communications. He is doing it through the “regulatory” process--outside any specific congressional authority. FCC has the power to determine who gets broadcast licenses and who is barred. Political misuse of that power is the key.

In terms of the sanctity of the Constitutional right of free speech as we know it today, Lloyd’s views are scary. In his 2006 book, “Prologue to a Farce: Communication and Democracy in America,” he wrote:

“It should be clear ... that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.”

In Lloyd’s worldview and from his prism of intolerance, “[T]he purpose of free speech is warped to protect global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance.”

Lloyd’s 2007 declaration of war against broadcast free speech, “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio,” came under scathing criticism from many true free speech advocates, including the NRA. But keep in mind that with this administration, criticism is always treated as nothing more than a “distraction” from the relentless agenda.

Lloyd’s attack on commercial talk-radio calls for a redistribution of broadcast licenses--taking them from commercial broadcasters carrying hugely successful commentators and giving those licenses to local “progressives,” who otherwise would have no audience at all. Lloyd whined about the fact that left-wing Air America Radio drew audiences in “progressive” metropolitan areas that were so small as to be unmeasurable. Talkers like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity in those same cities garnered huge audiences. For Lloyd, market share is a myth.

With that as evidence, Lloyd declared, “. . . that conservative talk radio dominates the airwaves of our country to the detriment of informed public discourse and the First Amendment.”

Got that? The free market of ideas--where individual Americans choose with their radio dials--exists “to the detriment of the First Amendment.”

Condemning what he calls the “power of right-wing talk radio and their echo chambers in the conservative blogosphere,” Lloyd has demanded that commercial broadcasters “. . . should pay to support public broadcasters who will operate on behalf of the local community. . . . We want either clear rules that promote these First Amendment values or a reasonable payment to the public for the use of its property.” According to CNSNews.com, “reasonable payment” amounts to “. . . a sum equal to their (commercial broad-casters) total operating costs.”

With Lloyd empowered as “Diversity Czar” at the FCC--and Soros ultimately pulling the strings--this effort in the coming months to turn radical anti-First Amendment theory into public policy will move at a rapid pace. It will be merely one part of a flood of “Change” aimed at silencing any political opposition at any cost, especially my voice and your voice.

As freedom-loving Americans, we, the people, must put our members of Congress on notice. Stop the FCC’s backdoor attempt to choke off talk radio. And protect the Internet. As Benjamin Franklin put it: “Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” We must not let that happen--not today--not ever.
