Obama IS ACORN
Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti
Repeat after me: Obama is ACORN. ACORN is Obama. Barack Obama can no more disown ACORN than he could disown his own shadow.
What does Obama think he is doing denying his own past actions? Does anyone believe that the smartest president in history doesn’t have a clue as to how he trained and used ACORN to become president?
Somehow Obama has developed amnesia of his past associations with thugs, Communists, Marxists, socialists, criminals, and terrorists. That doesn’t bode well for America. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.

The Day Obamacare Died
Rush Limbaugh has been playing this for the last few weeks. It’s a great rendition.
Barack Obama sings about the day his plan for National Health Care died. “The Day ObamaCare Died” was written by Paul Shanklin and performed on the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show. Paul Shanklin web-site is at http://www.paulshanklin.com.
Thank you, A Patriotic Nurse for sending!
We Won’t Get Fooled Again!
The fringe media, aka MSM’s, drive-by’s, and the unwashed ignorant, and leftwing kooks love to spew the hyperbolic rhetoric: “Why didn’t the conservatives speak up when George Bush and Congress were funding ACORN, implementing the Patriot Act [and here], and spending money like drunken Democrats????[T- okay, liberals don’t really say that Democrats drink…] Our honest reply? We had NO choice on voting for Bush (or for that matter John McCain). George W. Bush was the lesser of three evils: Al “Global Warming Chicken Little” Gore, John “Soldier Insulter and Flip-Flopper Extraordinaire” Kerry. Thank God, President Bush was in office when our country was attacked by Muslim radicals. Gore and Kerry would have found a way to blame the US and its culture for the attacks and consider it more a continual police effort. Oh yeah, they did.
Even US Establishment figure Al Gore blames the Bush Administration for 9/11. Thus former Vice President Al Gore in his recent book “The Assault on Reason” (Chapter 6, National Insecurity, pp178-179), while dismissing the widely-held hypothesis of deliberate passive complicity of the Bush Administration in 9/11, condemns the Bush Administration for effective passive complicity in the 9/11 atrocity i.e. they let it happen, just as a fore-warned US Administration permitted the Pearl Harbor attack to happen in 1941:
“Their behaviour, in my opinion, was reckless, but the explanation for it lies in hubris, not in some bizarre conspiracy theory …These affirmative and repeated refusals to listen to clear warnings [prior to 9/11] constitute behaviour that goes beyond simple negligence. At a minimum, it represents a reckless disregard for the safety of the American people.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Senator John Kerry invited ridicule from the Bush Administration while running for President in 2004 when he made the point that terrorism was essentially a law enforcement and intelligence problem. “We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they’re a nuisance,” he told the New York Times, suggesting that the goal was to reach a point where the specter of al-Qaeda “isn’t threatening people’s lives every day, and fundamentally, it’s something that you continue to fight, but it’s not threatening the fabric of your life.”
Conservatives and patriots started to wake up when we screamed loudly to Congress and shot down the Shamnesty bill. Obama is subterfuging the Health Care bill with amnesty deceptions again.
In 2008 Democrats and Independents were lied to. Disgusted Republicans stayed home. This is not about party loyalty – it’s about conservative values and principles. It’s about our Constitution.
2010 is coming. We won’t be fooled again.
Big thanks to AlinskyRulesfor creating the video.
Obamopoly
We’re not playing games anymore. Congress, do not pass go, do not collect $200 in taxes, do not pass any more legislation until investigations into Obama’s-ACORN connections, Barney Frank’s mortgage and banking corruption, and Charles Rangel’s tax evasion, are complete.
The Mob Went To Washington, DC
The 2nd American Revolution has begun. I got in my car early Friday morning and drove to DC. Both Erica, A Patriotic Nurse and I felt so strong that we had to be at the most important Constitutional fight since the American Revolution that I drove 14 hours. Erica used her vacation time to take off work. I hoped that 200,000 would come. Possibly 300,000? The weekend turned out beyond my conservative dreams. Hope and Change is alive in America.
Angry, right-wing domestic terrorists and conservative community organizers came from every corner of our country. Every state was represented, every age group, every skin color, every working class, every party affiliation, and all religious beliefs. Military veterans, the disabled, the sick, retirees, teachers, doctors, nurses, the erudite, and business owners with only 8th grade educations but self- made men all came. Most said “I had to be here.” Two million concerned citizens came to Washington, D.C. to shout: “Can you hear us now,” President Obama? [T. – Update- The count was anywhere from 1.5 million to 2 million people]
The White House response was the typical summer break Democrat townhall strategy. Obama cowardly left town to hide among his ACORN and SEIU followers. WH press caricature Gibbs reportedly said “We don’t know who they are [knocking on our doors]…” We were at first refused entrance onto the West Lawn by the Police were trying to keep the crowds down as to not appear large. They demanded that the protesters use another lawn but we refused and started to shout “Let Us In!” Police officers said that it was too full which was a blatant lie. Even when more than 30 people left the area, the police said it was too full. I twittered that the police were blocking the entrance to the Congress front lawn and within 15 minutes, they let us in. Coincidence? I think not.
Obamamedia’s reporting on the massive protest was true liberal denial: ‘What march? People aren’t upset…those are just angry white people on the West Lawn, down the National Mall, to the end of Pennsylvania Avenue and spilling onto every side street. Just ignore those racists who shut down Washington DC.’
They didn’t report the largest political march in America’s history. Glenn Beck brilliantly foiled the MSM’s plans by not showing up, allowing liberal whiners’ standard attack mode to make it about Glenn Beck. Even API reporters on the scene, meandering through the crowds, were asking March on Washington attendees, including Erica if she was upset that Glenn Beck was not there. Unlike the Messiah-Kult Obama worshippers, conservatives know that Glenn reports facts and shines the light on the cockroach corruption of Congress and the Obama Administration.
Griff Jenkins, of FOX News arrived with the cross-country Tea Party Express.
Rev C. L. Bryant gave the best speech of the day! He spoke for us.
A Patriotic Citizen who is mad as a hornet’s nest over this administration’s actions.
I have never been prouder to be an American or to fight for my country. See all 250 photographs on the entire 2nd Revolution. [T- Thank you, Dennis]
UPDATE: Randy Republican has incredible aerial photographs of the March On DC.
UPDATE: Bill OReilly is siding with left wing Obamamedia and saying only 75,000 people showed up on Saturday. Does this look like a small crowd?
Taking Our Freedoms Back
With over 1.5 million in attendence, the MOB of angry, rightwing domestic terrorists agreed with the patriotic empassioned speech of Rev. C. L. Bryant from Shreveport, Louisiana. The black minister who also spoke to Tea Party Rallies in the summer, tore President Obama and Congress a new one for trying to destroy our country!
Right on Reverend! Right on! Thank you for speaking for us RWDT’s across the country.
Patriots came, we saw, and we conquered! We are taking our country back! Watch out Obama!
Obama’s Thoughts During The Speech
Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama
(And His Thoughts During The Speech)
Back to School Event
Arlington, Virginia
September 8, 2009
The President: Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today? I’m here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I’m glad you all could join us today.
Obama thoughts: You really had no choice. We are in control of your schools.
I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.
Obama’s thoughts: Alinsky said to reinforce negatives. We need to implant negatives into our “inspirational speeches” to help people see how oppressed they are.
I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning.
Obama thoughts: American culture sucks, doesn’t it?
Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”
Obama thoughts: I wish my mother loved me more to show me that she was happy having to help me learn. I may not have decided to do drugs, or hang around Communists and anti-Americans.
So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.
Now I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked a lot about responsibility.
Obama thoughts: Blah, blah, blah. This will make me credible in the eyes of the students. I hope they don’t ask me why the community I organized and the district I represented in the Illinois Senate had the worst education ranking in the United States.
… someone could remember that Chicago has the highest level of gang murders in the country. These kids don’t have a chance. Remember I supported efforts by Bill Ayers [ Bomber, terrorist and cop killer] and others to change the criminal code in Illinois to prevent trying juveniles as adults. I can’t believe rightwingers want to crack down on crime and jail gang members. They’re only children who had parents who sucked… Responsibility, oh yeah, I’m a great believer in responsibility with other people’s money too.
I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn. I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.
Obama’s thoughts: Remember you are not responsible for anything. You’re a victim.
I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working where students aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve.
Obama’s thoughts: I know I’m an empty suit and I haven’t accomplished anything and you can do the same nothing if you trust me.
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world
Obama’s thoughts: But I will change that. We need to change everything as soon as possible.
– and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. And that’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.
Obama’s thoughts: I need to reinforce that I or my administration are not responsible for our actions or words, only you students. Remember my motto is “Do as I say, not as I do.”
Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.
Maybe you could be a good writer – maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper – but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor – maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine – but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.
And no matter what you want to do with your life – I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.
Obama’s thoughts: Repeat after me: Drop out of school. Work, train, learning are all bad words. Let the government take care of you.
And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.
We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.
Obama’s thoughts: Good! Students who have never thought about dropping out are absorbing “quit on school, quit on yourself, quit on your country.”
Now I know it’s not always easy to do well in school.
Obama’s thoughts: I said it. Finally. It’s not easy to do well in school. You are a victim. Let me tell you why.
I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.
I get it. I know what that’s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn’t fit in.
So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I’m not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.
Obama’s thoughts: Remember kindergartners I’m talking about real life here. Let me tell you how your life can go bad. I did the bad stuff but look at me now! I’m President of the United States!
But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn’t have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country. Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don’t have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job, and there’s not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren’t right.
Obama’s thoughts: So you’re screwed. You’re not like Michelle and myself. We were fortunate. You are not. Now this is not something you kids in the hood and abused homes can go home and talk to your crappy parents about. You just have to absorb this and suck it up. Just think about how your life sucks.
But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life – what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home – that’s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That’s no excuse for not trying.
Obama’s thoughts: My friends can talk back to authority figures. My friends can blow up police buildings and kill people but you can’t. But really, now that I’ve depressed you, you really will be a victim. I have you just where I want you.
Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.
Obama’s thoughts: I hope they remember they are victims and don’t have a chance.
That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.
Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez.
I’m thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who’s fought brain cancer since he was three. He’s endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer – hundreds of extra hours – to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he’s headed to college this fall.
Obama’s thoughts: Sheesh, the health care in this country sucks. He had brain cancer and still finished school. He survived. Damn!
And then there’s Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to get a job at a local health center; start a program to keep young people out of gangs; and she’s on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.
Obama’s thoughts: Our foster care system is hell too. We really need to step up abortion rates so children don’t have to suffer in foster homes.
Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you. They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.
Obama’s thoughts: Suck it up and be responsible. Remember life is a reality tv show. The difference is that Michelle and I are different. We are fortunate.
That’s why today, I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education – and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.
Obama’s thoughts: Especially you 6, 7, 8 and 9 year olds. Quit being children and learn how to be of service to your community. Work for your government! You owe everything to the government which will take care of you!
Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn.
Obama’s thoughts: Remember, your life sucks. There are no parents to protect you, no teachers to look out for you, no police officer to talk to. You’re on your own in this world! It’s only you and me… your friendly government. Just watch me smile. You can trust me.
Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.
Obama’s thoughts: Put on a red jacket. Look like everybody else! Stay healthy! Don’t be fat. Don’t be a burden on our already tax burdened health care system.
Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it. I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work — that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.
But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.
That’s OK.
Obama’s thoughts: You’re a victim. I want you to be a victim. Teachers are authority figures. You don’t need to like them. Don’t try for things. But remember, you can’t go home and talk about this with your Mom and Dad.
Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Obama’s thoughts: I succeeded because I am fortunate. I am the President of the United States. I have not failed at anything I have tried.
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures define you – you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.
Obama’s thoughts: Remember you’re not responsible for your failures or your bad decisions. You’re a victim.
No one’s born being good at things,
Obama’s thoughts: Except me.
you become good at things through hard work. You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song. You’ve got to practice. It’s the same with your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and to learn something new. So find an adult you trust – a parent, grandparent or teacher; a coach or counselor – and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.
Obama’s thoughts: I wish I had a parent that would talk to me. Why did they send me away? My grandmother hated blacks. But Frank was there for me.
And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you – don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
Obama’s thoughts: Remember you’re a victim. I’ll take care of you.
The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.
Obama’s thoughts: You crack me up, Barry. You know America sucks. It certainly needs to be changed.
It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation.
Obama’s thoughts: The racist bastards.
Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.
So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?
Obama’s thoughts: That I, Barack Hussein Obama, was the greatest ruler of the world. Yeah, that’s what they’ll say.
Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down – don’t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.
Obama’s thoughts: Just don’t ask me about the stimulus monies or the bail outs. ‘Cause I can’t answer those questions. You mustn’t let me down though. I am your ruler.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.
Obama’s thoughts: I hate when I have to end by talking about God. I hope nobody from Daily Kos, CAIR or the Nation of Islam are watching.
UPDATE: Ronald Reagan’s 1988 Speech To Students
Great prescient statement in the speech:
Dictators today from Afghanistan to Nicaragua do not want to be called Czar or Commissar; they want to be called Mr. President and to pretend that they rule in the people’s name, even if they don’t.Yes, even Communist dictators holding power through force, against the will of the people, acknowledge the triumph of the American idea when they go through the motions of holding phony elections, forming rubberstamp legislatures to ratify constitutions that will not be honored, and then using our words to call their regimes democracies or republics.
Yes, America, You Are Exceptional
This week as our country celebrates the national holiday of Labor Day and honors the brave and innocent lives killed in the tragic 9/11 attack against the United States, Pajama TV has produced a tremendous 14 minute exposé that should be shown in every classroom, every factory, every home, and every church. It should be seen by all Americans, other countries around the world, and especially by liberals suffering from GCD [T – genetic comprehension disability] who hate what America stands for.
This video proves that leftwing buffoons Bill Maher, Michael Moore, Janeane Garafolo are not only idiots, but they are given too much air time, credence and devotion by the loony left. Along with Communists Bill Ayers, Van Jones, and our president, they are intellectually and morally wrong about our great country.
This is what Must See TV should look like. Watch with pride as Bill Whittle of PJTV’s Afterburner shows you, all your friends and family, even the liberals like “Bill Maher, Barack Obama, the truth about America’s Exceptionalism. “ [You may have to register – free]
No wonder my heart swells with pride when I hear the Star Spangled Banner. No wonder I cry when I see the cemeteries filled with brave soldiers. There is no doubt that we truly are the greatest country in the world. God bless America. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.
Thank you PJTV for setting the record straight!
Haute Benzene
Haute cuisine: Meals packaged and served to arrogant privileged in rationed, expensive portions.
Haute benzene: Nationalized health care packaged and served to ignorant bourgeoius in rationed, expensive portions.
Millions of people (victims) around the world are ignorant about how their national health care works in other countries such as Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and Europe. It’s is easily researched. You don’t need to be a couch potato about health care!
If you think the haute benzene health care managed by a bankrupt, dysfunctional, and corrupt government system, is the way to go, why aren’t you asking questions? Why are the majority of doctors in the United States against ObamaCare?
Take Great Britain for example. One of my own family living in England found a lump in her breast and was told it would be months before a biopsy could be done. She went the next day to a private surgeon and had the lump removed. Thank goodness, it was benign but she could have died if she didn’t have access to the option of a private doctor. Well, that’s just my own anecdotal “how close to death have you come” story. It doesn’t mean squat to radicals with goals of instituting socialism.
Let’s use published facts: Noted conservative radio talk show host and best selling author, Mark Levin goes into grave details on death rates with the UK’s national health care policies. Even Britain’s own Health Care Minister welcomes the rising rate of abortion in the UK. As I’ve said before, it’s not in the best interest of socialist governments to have large populations needing medical care.
There’s more. This week in a letter to the UK Telegraph, a team of ‘end of life’ care doctors warned that thousands of people are being misdiagnosed. These concerned medical experts “…claim that some patients are being wrongly judged as close to death.”
Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.
~~~~~~
“He [Dr. Hargraves] added that some patients were being “wrongly” put on the pathway, which created a “self-fulfilling prophecy” that they would die.
He said: “I have been practising palliative medicine for more than 20 years and I am getting more concerned about this “death pathway” that is coming in.
“It is supposed to let people die with dignity but it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
“Patients who are allowed to become dehydrated and then become confused can be wrongly put on this pathway…”
He said that he had personally taken patients off the pathway who went on to live for “significant” amounts of time and warned that many doctors were not checking the progress of patients enough to notice improvement in their condition.
Prof Millard said that it was “worrying” that patients were being “terminally” sedated, using syringe drivers, which continually empty their contents into a patient over the course of 24 hours.
In 2007-08 16.5 per cent of deaths in Britain came about after continuous deep sedation, according to researchers at the Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, twice as many as in Belgium and the Netherlands.
But that is exactly what palliative care doctors have been instructed to do by national care policies. It’s not what they want to do, they HAVE to. There’s not enough money from the government to provide adequate care for all of its citizens. Scotland’s General Medical Council’s May 2009 policy guidelines, Page 14, #33 speaks about Resource Constraints:
33. Decisions about what treatment options can be offered may be complicated by resource constraints – for example, funding restrictions on certain treatments in the NHS, or lack of availability of intensive care beds. In such circumstances, you must balance sometimes competing duties towards the individual patient, the wider population, funding bodies and employers. There will often be no simple solution and, ideally, decisions about access to treatments should be made on the basis of an agreed local or national policy, which takes account of the human rights implications. Decisions made on a case-by-case basis, without reference to agreed policy, risk introducing elements of unfair discrimination or failure to properly consider the patient’s human rights (see paragraph 14).
What funding restrictions? Rationed healthcare? An overtaxed people with a bankrupt government? The GMC’s last sentence in #33, “risk introducing elements of unfair discrimination or failure to properly consider the patient’s human rights,” is an euphemism for “Don’t give the NHS bad publicity or get the government sued!”
I’ve documented the poor quality of nationalized healthcare. I’ve been castigated by leftwingers for speaking against the failed healthcare systems. Jim from Canada taunted me with typical haute rhetoric:
“… Either you’re a sloppy researcher or a liar. Also do you know the methodology used by the Frasier Institute to arrive at tha estimate. I suspect you don’t but if you knew anything about research you would know it is a fundamentally flawed study. But as usual don’t let the facts get in the way of making your argument.”
Read my response here. Simply put, I had to reply back with facts that could have started with SNL’s retort “Jim, you ignorant…”
Obama nor his administration care about the health care system or the health of the American people. He cares about his dream of changing America. He’s an elitist, wannabe world leader. While he trotted his family in luxury across Europe eating haute cuisine room service, and sucking up to America’s enemies, our country was experiencing the worst economic emergencies since the Depression.
Now he is repackaging his ‘Haute Benzene” healthcare bill so he can pass “something” and not be considered an egotistical failure. Don’t be fooled. He’s worried about his agenda instead of the fate of millions of Americans.
Don’t be too hungry for what President Obama and Congress want to serve you. You could end up dying from starvation.
Health Care Protesters Respond In Kind
Jason Hoyt, host of TeaPartyPatriots Live radio and concerned citizen read off the names and stories of those who died with nationalized health care.
At last week’s Organization for America healthcare rally in Orlando, liberals, Democrats, farm worker advocates, and Obamites gathered in pseudo-somber ritual. Numbering under 50 attendees, the OFA workers related the stories out of context of those supposed to have died without health care. Upset that anti-nationalized health care protesters showed up in even larger numbers (I stopped counting at 75) holding placards of names of victims who died in countries with nationalized health care, the pro-Obama individuals shouted and chest-thrusted themselves into the faces of “handsoff” pro-conservatives to intimidate them to leave. The pro-nanny statists were shocked and appalled that they were being upstaged.
All in vain.
The protesters, educated by the Health Care for America Now videos (see below), responded appropriately with more patriotic songs and louder chants of “Kill the Bill,” “Tort Reform Now,” “Free Market Reform,” and “Just Say No!”
Local Channel 13 tv station who came to exclusively videotape the Organizing For America pro-socialist event gave up and went home when the resolute anti-healthcare protesters were too numerous and surrounded the small group. The ambiguous title insinuates that hundreds came out for government health care unless you were there and know that only 40 or so showed up, the majority of the crowd were vehemently against government intrusion into their lives!
Hundreds Pack Vigil At Lake Eola
Hundreds of people packed downtown Orlando’s Lake Eola Park for a tea party Wednesday.
The vigil was held to bring awareness about the millions of Americans living without health care and to tackle the health care reform debate.
Supporters said the health care is desperately needed to help American citizens, but many opponents said a government takeover will destroy our Constitution and lead to rationing of health care.
“We shared a book called ‘Shattered Lives,’ where they had over a hundred stories of people around the world,” said Jason Hoyt, who is opposed to HR 3200. “The Canada system and the British system that died or were rejected because of rationed care. And we know that we do need reform. We need tort reform. There’s other reform that we could be doing. But HR 3200 specifically is not the answer.”
“I would like to see changes in the system,” said Kelly Young, who is for health care reform. “It’s funny they talk about health care being rationed, but it already is being rationed. They talk about we need to keep it competitive for the sake of technological advances, but we have advances and people aren’t allowed to get them.”
The vigil was put on by Organizing for America and Moveon.org.
It won’t help the MSM’s Messiah if they showed that Americans don’t want government healthcare plans.
