During a press conference at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Nancy Pelosi danced around a difficult question, twice. The questions pertained to 5-year jail terms and $250,000 fines for those refusing to buy health insurance under her plan. However, she did say her plan was “fair”.
Choice??? According to HR 3962, buy insurance or go to jail. Such “choice” is standard under dictatorships, is this tyranny the “change” that voters hoped for? Of course not.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, was in Seattle on Monday, November 9, 2009 where she joined Democratic Reps. Jay Inslee, Jim McDermott and Norman Dicks in a tour of Swedish Medical Center. Pelosi’s visit came less than 48 hours after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the massive and short-sighted “Affordable Health Care for America Act” bill by a very narrow margin, 220-215. Pelosi needed at least 218 votes for passage.
The closed door meetings and their partisan Democrat scheme worked despite the obvious will of the People as a Rasmussen poll found that 57% Americans opposed while only 41% approved government run health care. By all accounts, this bill should have died. However, the Stupak amendment revived it at the promise of removing funding for abortions, which we all know can be reversed later on. The Stupak amendment to HR 3962 was proposed and approved in the House of Representatives on November 7, 2009. Here are more details about the amendment:

Pelosi was recently asked another question that she could not answer. She was asked where in the Constitution does it give government the right to run health care. Her snarky answer was simply; are you serious, are you serious? Yes, we patriots are serious; just ask us what we think of more government intrusion in our lives, this being an egregious one that will snatch 1/6th of the US economy from the private sector and in total making government in charge of about half of the entire economy. The more this reckless government strays away from the guidelines set by our Founding Fathers, the less freedom we are left with.
Liberty will die and so will patients under this sort of health care reform. Like in Canada and much of socialist Europe, patients needlessly die waiting weeks or months for life saving surgeries. And in our case, Washington bureaucrats will make decisions for you and your doctor based on cost effective procedures. That is where rationing and cost savings will offset the massive fraud, waste and abuse that government is infamous for. It is a good thing that Congress, with their 240 millionaires, will be spared the rationed care they impose of the American public.
This legislation must be stopped at all expense, as the Senate will soon vote on it. Our Liberty and quality of health care depends on our success in stopping this reckless government and their radical and destructive agenda. Their narrow-minded approach to destroying the best health care on Earth only to reform it is based on deceptive tactics and exploitation of the American people. It must be done NOW, however not implemented until 2013. Therefore, the negative fallout will not play a role in possibly reelecting our leftist president.
The same day, President Obama also danced around a similar question posed by White House press staff Jake Tapper. Mr. Tapper also had to ask the question twice and met with a condescending, “I’m not sure that’s the biggest question they’re asking right now”. Here is a link to that:

Please call, email, or visit your Senator and urge them to vote NO, before its too late! Once implemented this government plan, like all other entitlement programs, is permanent and will cost at least 3x the projections, totaling over $3 Trillion…of deficit spending!
Furthermore, they talk about “subsidies” and they really mean redistribution of wealth, Karl Marx style. Providing health care is unconstitutional, therefore its not the role of government in a free and civil society.
Contrary to pro health care talking points; not everyone drives a car and buying auto insurance IS still an option, health insurance should be too; its called individual freedom and (real) choice. According to our Constitution, which protects Liberty, government shall be limited, not expanded and intrusive into every facet of our lives. This health care “debate” is not really about health nor care, it’s about CONTROL.

Also, this press conference was not announced publicly. And the protest against Pelosi-care was organized with only 3-hours advance notice. The speaker obviously didn’t want to draw hundreds or thousands to protest her visit.

n the second part of our interview with Deborah Burger, Deborah explains why nurses are supporting HR 676 as the solution to the health coverage problems of the US. Deborah explains how the inclusion of private insurance companies in the provision of health care has created the problems that the US has, that other countries do not. For this reason, Obama’s plan cannot resolve the problem as it does not remove the insurance companies from the picture.

There is almost next to nothing I hate more than: “Automobile Insurance”. It really makes me sick. I am so utterly disgusted by the advertisements on the internet and television commercials for it on television. Credit goes out to an ingenious and almost selfless man who goes by the name of DJHives. I must outright personally thank this person for enlightening me on the banking scheme of ‘Neander-Sheeple Insurance’.
Let’s face it: Neander-Sheeple are a problem. A major problem. They 1) Free Lunch Borrow from the “Free Lunch Bank, Inc.” due to their greed and selfishness, and 2) In the third world nations: They mate and reproduce like horney rabbits. This is why the third world is overpopulated and we have to do major Lifekill to prevent the masses from destroying the city infrastructure (Go Bill Clinton!!!! You did the right thing with Rwanda, and it’s sooooooo funny how you faked caring about the mass genocide LOL!!!!!! I mean, we ALL KNOW Clinton wasn’t as good as the Demi-God George W. Bush who acted like a perfect blond highschool cheerleader, “Oops, heh, heh, I didn’t knows that they’s had thems WMD’s………..”. But Bill Clinton gets second place for the “Official Dr. LaPaglia Lifekill Comedy Award”.
A literal perfect example of the danger of the over-psychological induction of the disgusting masses is none other than from the ‘Moron-Orc Housing Boom of 2004-2007′ from the delusions of entitled white people who, instead of working for their money, decided to hop over to the “Free Lunch Bank, Inc.”,
Today is 11/29/2009, and I do have some regretful news to state to you all: I have been diagnosed with Testicular Cancer and despite the fact that this is an EXTREMELY ULTRA-RARE PATHOLOGY
Seriously, pretty much 99.999999% (I am not kidding here, people, this is really disillusioning and depressing) Percent of all of the people on earth are complete utter morons.
Credit goes out to a man on the internet named ‘DJHives’ and the greatest economist in the world, Dr. Milton Friedman, for pointing out, “There is no such thing as a free lunch”. He was also the greatest shill economist to ever live, nobody shall out-do him.
They are all functionally retarded because they can’t understand extremely basic economics, let alone the actual reason we have war: To Balance The Currency. The average American has not only virtually NO ‘Fluid Intelligence’, but they also totally lack any critical thinking skills whatsoever.
The bankers print money out of nothing, and then you have to kill useless eaters to balance out the value of the paper inductance money with “Economic Capacitance” of available goods in circulation. That’s it. [Rolls Eyes] Gosh!!!!
My life has been a total living because of the parasitic elite sucking down my wealth (and my father’s so called ‘earned money’ he worked for) but the real torture throughout my 25 years of living in a pure total miserable nightmare, oh yes, that credit goes to…….. THE FREE LUNCH BORROWING MASSES!!!!!!!!!
God, can’t you see how aggravated and agitated I am just by how my body is shaking from holding the camera????? I mean, I guess it is sort of funny how the masses of Neander-Sheeple are so stupid they can’t even see the Swine Flu Media Amplifiers on television and the news, how they magically go from the backpages of the newspaper to the frontpage in less than 60 days.
Heh, I can’t wait for massive Lifekill….. can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!!!!!!! Dr. Kissinger, I want Lifekill NOW!!!!!!!!!
Including Lifekill for the disgusting feudal pseudo-law school ABA accredited moron-orcs who BORROWED for their law school education instead of paying for it with this so-called ‘earned-money’, and insulted me because my law school degree didn’t have a ‘ABA-Accredited’ idiot sticker on it. I hate all of this disgusting, unthinking, downright animalic Neander-Sheeple.
On the Gittingerian Personality Assessment, My Personality would be classified as an Internalizer-Flexible Intellectual Learner-Role Uniform (IFU). IFU personalities are the most difficult to exploit or take economic advantage of. I am extremely high in “Fluid intelligence”, has little to do with IQ or “book” intelligence. It is rather the ability to step outside of our beliefs and consider information which does not fit into our previously accepted view of reality.
(I am so disgusted by the Housing Boom Borrowing of 2004-2008, you have no idea the nausea I feel by the sight of these highly leveraged debt animals, about 87%, cannot think for themselves, as a Travistock Propaganda Firm pointed out via statistical surveying: The majority are incapable of any free thought, and only 13% can actually think for themselves. Even fewer have the ability to look at the world with objective rationality.
