KILL THE BILL

UPDATE:

Photo of the day:

The worst of this entire story is that this Botox-woman, Pelosi, is so full of her own stuff that she truly beliefs she owns the country, she owns our lives and that she should be one in the oval office - which she has been practically doing for the past year anyway. Just my thoughts...

KILL THE BILL!!!

It is happening.

Obama-Reid-Pelosi and their legion of thugs are trying to ram down our throats the goverment takeover of our healthcare.

Good bye freedom to choose.
Welcome the mother of all goverment entitlements.

Rep. Michele Bachmann called a protest on Capitol Hill. Mark Levin and John Voigh joined her. And countless Americans are melting the phones calling their representatives.

One quote comes to mind:
"A government big enough to give you everything you want is powerful enought to take everything you have."
- Thomas Jefferson.

• Michelle Malkin is twittering live. Follow #housecall on Twitter.


• Politico is on it too.


• Rep. Leader John Boehner just posted that Pelosi’s government-run health plan will require a monthly abortion premium - see? whether you agree with abortion or not, or with using taxpayers monies to fund them or not, it's it completely irrelevant. You. Are. Not. Important. Anymore. Sordid details on the 2,032-page government takeover of health care, page numbers and wording included, here.


• Fox News is live-streaming the rally on the Internet. Search online for these reports: • Democrat's plan for the sick is "wait 6 months"• AARP supports Hourse Health Bill• Bill assumes that millions will pay the fine• Joe Wilson: force Congress onto Gov't Health Plan• (Sorry, but not, you won't be able to find those in your local MSM.)


• The GOP already started an online marathon to expose the 12 truths about the Pelosi plan. Use it to educate yourself and draw your own conclusions. Direct link is here.


• Last night, the CBO released its report on the Republican alternative to reform the health care system - no complete government take over included, by the way: CBO found that it would reduce health care premiums and cut the deficit by $68 billion over ten years. Pleeease, don't expect to hear from it on your regular noticiero. Ain't gonna happen!


• Finally, a local take on what is really needed to reform health care in the US - and it is not a total take over by the government.

Have at it.

Thank you, Michele Bachmann.

PS: I'm back to the blogging arena with a packed schedule, but today's event are above and beyond any other story idea. Stay tuned.

Where on earth?

I'll be out of commission for a few days, in a noble family quest.
Mostly twittering for the days to come; I'll be back soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

An unusually real book review

Produce by The Washington Post Writers Group, a few days ago The Denver Post published a review of two recent books about Fidel Castro.

And the headline clearly hints the tone:
"Two new books look at Castro through friends' eyes"

I have to say that, coming from The Denver Post is, oddly, a very acccurate take on (c) astro I and the everlasting liberal love story with it.

Since we are in the era of fairness and balances in all forms for free expression, to kind of keeping up with the mood, I would only add three things, to round up Mary Speck's take:

The author dismisses Guevara's responsibility for the summary execution of anywhere from several dozen to several hundred people as "swift revolutionary justice" and examines it no further. He sums up the public show trials that Castro instigated as a "terrible mistake," presumably because many foreign reporters reacted with revulsion as crowds filled Havana's stadium, jeering at the suspects and calling out for firing squads.

Here I would immediately recommend the reader Humberto Fontova's "The Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him" and "Fidel Castro, Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant" to get their fair share on the other side of the story that is missing.

We learn little about the inner reservations García Márquez may have had about Cuba's deterioration into a battered autocracy running mainly on inertia and repression.

After this, I would also add the recently declassified documents from Mexican Mexico's Federal Direction of Mexican Security (DFS), revealing that the Nobel winning author Gabriel García Márquez, began acting as an agent of propaganda to the service of the Direction of Cuban Intelligence in 1967. (The headline in Spanish, BTW, means "Gabo, the great Cuban spy")

Finally, I would have adventured myself adding an extra word (emphasis mine) and an answer to her final question:

Why, in the latter half of the 20th century — an era already scarred by the messianic ravages of larger-than-life totalitarian leaders in Europe and Russia — did so many intellectuals greet Castro's iron rule and utopian promises with such blinkered euphoria?

Because in today's society, there is a widespread toxic contaminant called liberal hypocrisy.

Because, as my mother says, it is very easy to swim when you are outside the water.

Because it is easy to side with the tyrants and defend their causes, from the coziness of your pricey house in the land of the evil empire, where liberals enjoy First Amendment Rights that nor myself or my fellow countryman have never had in castro's Cuba.

Because if you chose to say the entire truth, then you are called sick, twisted freak, radical and/or rabid anticastro - or all of the above.

Because in life, you can chose to do right or wrong. And, doing the right thing sometimes is not the most popular choice.

H1N1
 
The Drudge Report.
Now - with the state of emergency declared by POTUS today because of the swine flu outbreak.

Is the US sovereignty in danger?

Yes.
And we better brace ourselves to defend it.

Last Wednesday, Lord Christopher Monckton, considered an skeptical in the man-made global warming theory, issued a concerning warning regarding the upcoming UN Convention on Climate Change, to be held in the December in Copenhagen:

"This agreement will cede U.S. sovereignty permanently and irrevocably to the United Nations," he said, warning that Obama will happily sign it.

Lord Monckton, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's science advisor, made that statement during a an event at the Minnesota Free Market Institute, in St. Paul, Minnesota.

And you can like or dislike Glenn Beck and call him all things you want but... where else in the news are you listening about this?

Nowhere? That's what I thought.
Take a look at this segment of Lord Monckton's remarks:



Why should we pay attention to this?

Well, maybe because, as Lord Mockton said, according to our Constitution, if Obama signs that treaty in December and the Senate ratifies it (with a 2/3 majority), the treaty would override the US Constitution?

I feel compelled to repeat his words on the video and during his interview with Glenn Beck:

"The word "Election, democracy, vote, or ballot" does not appear anywhere in the 200 pages of the treaty. "

If that does not mean to surrender our sovereignty, freedoms and rights to the UN, what exactly is then?

Check the draft of the treaty here. The golden nugget is that once you are in, there is no way out. Hotel California kind of deal, you know...

Flashback to April, 2009.
Supposing that Lord Monckton is yet another fear monger crazy right winger that has no basis for his claims, why did Democrats said "absolutely no" and refused to allow him to testify alongside Al Gore in a Congressional hearing on the topic of climate change?

Here are Monckton 33 inconvenient truths: the errors in Al Gore's movie, for you to read and draw your won conclusions. Sorry, no media interference here. Get that brain of yours back to work!

We need to brace ourselves. We either speak out, or this will take place in our watch. And it would be too late for our children to take our country back.

WH war on Fox News: will you be next?

Forget the fact that the WH spokesperson sent to open fire is a self-declared Mao Zedong admirer who said he was one of her "favorite political philosophers".

Never mind the idea that maybe, in order to be considered a "real news network", you may need to have your anchors publicly displaying the tingling down their legs when they see the president.

With so many crucially important things happening in this country, that this admin should be focusing on, in the face of this warfare, I have only one question:

Even if you don't like Fox News at all, what guarantees do you have that YOU won't be its enemy tomorrow? What makes you think that you, someone you know or myself won't be in Dunn, Axelrod and Obama's list of enemies in the near future?

Really? But, but... we've told you so!

Any human being with at least two-working neurones should know by now that in this life, anything in excess could be harmful.

Case example today:
excessive wishful thinking - or should I say plain unwillingness to see the reality - and the futile exercises of mental self-satisfaction that many people engage on when it comes to Cuba; including the current US president.

A few days ago, with all due fanfare, what is left of the MSM in this country announced that the US would ease telecoms companies access to Cuba. The small caps disclaimer was that the approval from the communist government was still pending.

A small company from Florida, BTW, was awarded the first authorization to start the optic fiber installation to Cuba:

"Cuba is the only country in the Americas that is not connected with the rest of the nations through an optic fiber cable. Instead, they rely on expensive satellite connections. Even though an optic fiber cable could substantially lower the cost of the phone calls, the rates would be determined by the Cuban government, who can also implement restrictions to access the Internet," reported the El Nuevo Herald story. [My own free translation here]

Err, nope; instant Internet access to Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez and 11 million of Cuban living under censorship was not mentioned. At. All.

C'Mon, censorship and keeping people ignorant goes hand to hand with totalitarian regimens. Didn't POTUS knew that one?

Along came Monday and the Castro's regimen shut the door on Obama's face answering there will be no deal with US telecoms.

This takes me to question a few issues of principles:

The Obama admin knew how the whole thing works with the Castro's government prerogatives mentioned above, in bold. Ergo, the Obama admin does not care about Cubans' access to Internet or lower telephone rates.

Then, all I can see is a lousy act of flirting with the Cuban tyranny, knowingly that the average Cuban would not be benefit from it.

As expected by us - those Cubans born and raised under Castro's communist rule who, by default, should know a thing or two better than your average Harvard-educated president-in-the-making - the tropical dictatorship rebuffed the initiative that would have opened the island to better cell phone and Internet service.

My question is: did anybody in his/her sane mind really thought that the Castros gives a damn crap about improving the telephone and Internet access to their slaves?

I mean, like, really?

The Cuban government - who, in case you've forgotten, owns all business and property in the island - has been doing the money of their lives with the excessive rates to phone calls in/out of Cuba.

Whoever seriously thought they would give up that source of income, just like that, for the well being of Cubans and their families abroad, was simply engaging in yet another excessive and futile act of failed mental political self-satisfaction.

Or else, I am breeding pink unicorns in my backyard.
