GOP DENYS APPROVAL OF UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE TO RECEIVE MILLIONS FROM FOR PROFIT INSURANCE COS.

Posted on by
LORD, HELP THOSE WHO BELIEVE THE LIES OF THOSE (mainly politicians) WHO ARE PAID MILLIONS TO SAY THAT WE DON’T NEED A NON-PROFIT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT COVERS EVERYONE, TO SUPPORT A 30% PROFIT SYSTEM THAT CAN RAISE OUR PREMIUMS AND NOT ALLOW THE COVERAGE WE NEED.
 
HELP THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS BETTER TO HAVE SOME KIND OF HEALTHCARE THAN BEING DENIED ANY.

THE GREATEST CITIZENS BEING MISLED?

Posted on by
THANKS RON,
 
You are so right.  When the gov. allowed anyone to say anything on all media published to the public without the right of those who disagree to respond we lost our freedom of speech.
 
When one person or organization has spent a lot or money to get their point accross FREEDOM OF SPEECH DEMANDS THAT AN OPPOSING INDIVIDUAL CAN RESPOND ON THE SAME MEDIAN WITHOUT COST.
 
ALL CITIZENS WITHOUT THIS FREEDOM WILL BE CONTROLLED AND PUNISHED BY THOSE THAT DO.
 
THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES; I CITE ONLY ONE: IRAN.
 
EVERY PROBLEM WE HAVE IN AMERICA HAS COME FROM ALLOWING THE RICH AND POWERFUL TO LIMIT THE FREEDOM OF THOSE WHO DISAGREE AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESPOND IN THE SAME MEDIAM WITHOUT COST.
 
WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, BARTERING AND SUPPORTING THOSE WE KNOW THAT WE CAN TRUST TO PROVIDE A SAFE PRODUCT FOR US TO CONSUME.
 
ONCE GREED TOOK OVER WITH THE IDEA THAT WE COULD LET THE POOR IN OTHER COUNTRIES CREATE THE PRODUCTS WE WANTED AND SELL THEM BACK TO US AT A CHEAPER PRICE (with a disregard of inspection of these products as to our safety) WE BEGAN TO DESTROY OUR LOCAL NEIGHBORS AND THEIR TRADE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT COMPETE.
 
EVEN MORE DRASTIC, WE ALLOWED OUR CORPORATIONS TO MOVE JOBS OVERSEAS WITH NO TAX OBLIGATIONS AND ALLOWED OUR OWN, GOOD, PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS (with high regulation on producing safe products) to become unemployed.
 
DO YOU REMEMBER THE LYING LINE FROM OUR GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE LEADERS?: “WE ARE BECOMING AN INFORMATIONAL SYSTEM OF WHICH THE WORLD WILL DEPEND ON US.”
 
FOR EVERY STEP WE MOVE FROM PRODUCING OUR OWN PRODUCTS WE ALLOW SNAKE OIL EXECUTIVES TO MAKE MORE MONEY BY CONTROLLING OUR MEDIA AND BUYING OFF OUR POLITICIANS TO MAKE MORE LAWS FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY OFF OF HONEST WORKERS AND THEIR ASSETS, HEALTH CARE, INVESTMENTS, ETC.
 
More later.  Can you see this grand scam of all institutions, including the religious and the rich?

CBO NOW APPROVES OF OBAMA’S HEALTHCARE REFORM…

Posted on by
WHICH IS THE MOST TRUTHFUL? LISTENING TO THE REPORTER WHO JUST GIVES HIS OWN OPINIONS OR TO THOSE WHO CITE THE ORIGINAL SOURCE THAT SAID IT?
 
 
By Donna Smith and John Whitesides Donna Smith And John Whitesides – 1 hr 4 mins ago

 WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives pounced on a congressional budget analysis to bolster their plan for a government-run health insurance option on Monday, as party leaders said they were closer to agreement on healthcare reform.

The report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the public option proposed by Democrats would not drive private insurers out of business and most people would still choose to get their medical coverage through employers.

The public option has come under heavy fire from Republicans who say it will devastate the private insurance industry.

“We’re moving closer to a point where we can hold insurance companies accountable,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, told reporters, repeating her frequent prediction that once a bill hits the floor for a vote “it will win.”

WHAT IF THE PRESIDENT HAD BEEN WHITE?

Posted on by
WOULD HE HAVE RECEIVED MILLIONS MORE VOTES FROM THE WHITE CONVERSATIVES WHO ARE UNKNOWINGLY RACIST?  WOULD THERE BE ANYONE DOUBTING HIS PLACE OF BIRTH?  WOULDN’T HEALTHCARE REFORM HAVE BEEN APPROVED THIS WEEK?-mackie

    If race were the only issue, there would be much less hyperventilation about Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.‘s unpleasant run-in with the criminal justice system. After all, it would hardly be the first time a black man had unjustly been hauled to jail by a white police officer. The debate—really more of a shouting match—is also about power and entitlement.

    This is a new twist. Since the triumph of the civil rights movement, minorities have been moving up the ladder in politics, business, academia, just about every field. Only in the past decade, however, has a sizable cohort of African-Americans and Latinos broken through to the tiny upper echelons where real power is exercised.

    I’m talking about President Obama, obviously, but also Citigroup Chairman Richard Parsons, entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and many others—a growing number of minorities with the kind of serious power that used to be reserved for whites only. In academia, the list begins with “Skip” Gates.

    He’s a superstar, one of the best-known and most highly acclaimed faculty members at the nation’s most prestigious university. A few years ago, when he made noises about leaving, Harvard moved heaven and earth to keep him. The incident that led to his arrest occurred as he was coming home from the airport after a trip to China for his latest PBS documentary. Following the traumatic encounter, he repaired to Martha’s Vineyard to recuperate. This is how the man rolls.

RETIRING REPUBLICAN ADMITS GOP PUTTING POLITICS OVER HEATHCARE REFORM?

Posted on by

NOT ONLY IS GOP QUOTING MISLEADING NUMBERS FROM A POLLING CO. THAT IS FUNDED BY UNITEDHEALTHCARE (one of the most corrupt in the insurance industry) WHICH ALSO FUNDS THE GOP,  THE GOP IS CALLING THESE #S AS CREDIBLE AND FAIR AND BALANCED.

George Voinovich is retiring from Congress next year, and I guess that means he can feel free to let a few things slip out. In this clip from CNBC, he admits what we’ve known all along – that opposition to the President is driving opposition to health care reform. Republicans know that if a Democratic President expands access to health care more than any time since Medicare, and lowers individual costs for most people, he will reap rewards. So their strategy, as revealed previously by internal memos and Jim “Waterloo” DeMint, is to obstruct reform to deny the President a “win”, thusly turning the uninsured and the poor into pawns in a political game.

Most of Voinovich’s remarks are of the fiscal scold variety, claiming that we cannot afford the cost of government (something I forget hearing from Voinovich when he voted to authorize a war in Iraq that cost three trillion dollars), but here’s the key moment at around 4:25:

QUESTIONER: …on health care, how much of this disagreement with the Administration is about the policy of health care and how to fix it, and how much of it is Republicans’ obvious and understandable desire to declaw the President politically? How much of that does fit into the equation.

VOINOVICH: I think it’s about 50/50, but I will tell you this…

He then claims that some Republicans want to work “on a bipartisan basis” on health care, but that’s pretty much the death knell right there.

Democrats are right to jump all over this and expose the GOP as obstructionists. We’ve known this for some time with the record number of filibusters, but haven’t gotten it out to the public. On a high-profile issue like health care, it should be radioactive to obstruct for political reasons and deny millions of people the right to have quality, affordable care.

NOW OR NEVER?

Posted on by
We are in an emergency situation where 47 mil. American families including children are without health care, 10s of millions more are being denied and canceled because of their health, and increasing numbers (500,000 losing their jobs a month without health care) are in dire situations because of no health care.  Many 1000s a month are dying because of lack of health care.
 
What would Jesus do?  In depression times crime, suicides and death rates increase.  We have been waiting on health care change since 1994 because white male anglosaxon conservatives opposed an intelligent lady who was trying to bring about health care reform.
 
The American Ship is sinking because we are not looking out for those who have no hope (AS JESUS TAUGHT US).  We must respond no matter what the cost for now so we can save as many as possible while we reform the system.  OUR GREATEST OPPOSITION ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES WHO ARE TAKING MILLIONS FROM LOBBYISTS TO PROTECT THEIR 30% PROFITS OF INSURANCE COMPANIES (Medicare‘s overhead is 3%).
WE HAVE SPENT ALL THESE BILLIONS TO FIGHT A COUNTRY WHO WAS NOT A THREAT TO US (in the former administration we lost over 3,000 lives because the former administration was not at the switch and 10s of thousands of lives because our former president claimed he was ordained by God and was going after the man who tried to assassinate his father).
 
I COULD GO ON BUT THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT TO PROVIDE A BETTER HEALTH PLAN BEFORE WE REFORM IS VERY SUSPICIOUS OF THOSE POLITICIANS WHO STATE THAT.  I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT IF I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER, FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR (“DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU”) COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, LOSS OF REPUTATION, POSSESSIONS, ETC., I AM GOING TO DO WHAT JESUS TAUGHT ME TO DO.

HUMANITY AND THE UNIVERSE….

Posted on by
“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.

The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one’s self to others.

Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them… for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth.

We are one, after all, you and I. Together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other.”

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (French pronunciation: [pj?? teja? d? ?a?d??]; 1 May 1881, Orcines, France – 10 April 1955, New York City) was a French philosopher and Jesuit priest who trained as a paleontologist and geologist and took part in the discovery of Peking Man. Teilhard conceived the idea of the Omega Point and developed Vladimir Vernadsky‘s concept of Noosphere.

Teilhard’s primary book, The Phenomenon of Man, set forth a sweeping account of the unfolding of the cosmos. He abandoned traditional interpretations of creation in the Book of Genesis in favor of a less strict interpretation. This displeased certain officials in the Roman Curia, who thought that it undermined the doctrine of original sin developed by Saint Augustine. Teilhard’s position was opposed by his church superiors, and his work was denied publication during his lifetime by the Roman Holy Office. The 1950 encyclical Humani generis condemned several of Teilhard’s opinions, while leaving other questions open.
