The country has been inundated with the need for Healthcare reform and everything that those changes entail.  Awhile back, the issue of death panel was raised but no one in the media accurately addressed it. In fact, the messenger, Sarah Palin was ridiculed and the media continued to conceal the relationship between Pres. Obama’s bill and the death panel provision.

Supporters of the president argue that the president’s bill doesn’t have a death panel—a very disingenuous assertion. The truth is that the president does not have a bill.  The provision Palin referred to is not the president’s bill, but one created by a committee.  It was a specific provision proposed in a committee bill that the president reserves the right to incorporate into his final bill or exclude.

To ask whether the president’s bill will have a death panel as a way of contradicting Palin’s statements is disingenuous and deceitful.  It is also disingenuous for the president to make a national address to the House and Senate; saying, ‘the bill that I propose tonight’ have such and such provisions, knowing very well that he has no bill.

The mainstream media along with the president is contrasting an actual bill with death panel provisions– though it is not called a death panel – against a bill that does not exist.  Palin commented on an actual bill.  It was not President Obama’s bill because he does not have one as we have established.

Palin was right about what she said.  Subsequent to her Facebook post, the committee removed that provision.  Not only that, Bill Mahar, a prominent liberal, expressed his displeasure toward Obama by questioning who is he listening to.  Bill Maher’s contention was that the president should be listening to the liberals who voted for him rather than people like Palin.

We are dealing with a situation where the people in the know are blatantly trying to deceive the public.  When they question whether the president’s bill has the death panel, they are deliberately acting under the assumption that we are stupid and that we believe the president has a bill. While the president, on the other hand, speaks of his bill as if he has an actual bill.

President Obama is selling himself and his words to the American people and they rather us focus on him and what he says and pay no attention to the men and women behind the curtains called Congress.  The mainstream media is in on this and they want us to simply focus on what the president is offering in speeches and pay no attention to what is developing in Congress.

The contrast to what is taking place here is Bill Clinton.  Hillary had an actual bill where people could read and critique.  With President Obama, many separate committees are creating bills and in the end Obama decide.

To understand the death panel assertion by Palin, we would have to ask, did a committee bill included the provision? Call it what you may, it do.  The next question is, would the president accept a bill with the death panel, no.  That is clarity.  A bill did include the infamous death panel provision, but according to the president, he will not sign one with that provision.

To ensure that the politicians do not, we hope that Pres. Obama keeps his promise and allow the American people the time to read the bill before it is voted on. In my opinion, there was absolutely no reason to ridicule Palin as not knowing what she is talking about when we all know she was right.

I received one of those mass email that I want to share. It gives a little insight into the Muslim belief. As they say, take it with a grain of salt.

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.
The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse, you have a purpose.

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races!!!

Last month I attended my annual training session that is required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session, there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say.

The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.  After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to  the Imam and asked: ‘Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I  understand that most Imams and clerics  of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to  all
Muslims) they are  assured of a place in heaven. If that’s the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?’

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, ’Non-believers!’

I responded, ’so, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct? ‘

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.’

He   sheepishly replied, ‘Yes.’

I then stated, ’Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!’

The Imam was speechless!

I continued, ‘I also have problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me!

Let me ask you a question: Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to  go to  heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to  heaven and He wants you to be there with me?’ You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification’ training seminar were not happy with Rick’s way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims’ beliefs.

In twenty years, there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!  I think everyone in the U.S. and Canada should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

This is your chance to make a difference…

FOR GODS’ SAKE! SEND THIS ON!

If you haven’t seen or read the speech by President Barack Obama, to our school children, avoid the hype and watch it. I urge you to watch it with your children because it is a remarkable speech. The attitudes and responsibilities conveyed in that speech is the American ideal.

The reasons why I appreciate the speech even more is because the president obviously breaks away from the left wing ideology of his party. It is very comforting and reassuring to see the president say what most of us know to be true; that the individual write his or her own destiny. The left has always made the lame, old yet prevalent argument that your race, gender and class determine your outcome. They peddle the message of division that the evil white man prohibits your future. The white rich man is going to keep you down. They thrive on making victims of Americans and spreading hopeless within people in order that individuals place their trust in them.

The president said, “Where you are right now doesn’t have to dictate where you will end up. No one has written your destiny for you because here in America you write your own destiny. You make your own future.”

In breaking away from the old arcane notion, that every problem in the world and every difficulty that someone experiences comes down to an issue of race, gender and economic status is something that we must part with as Americans. The president insists that all things are possible to all people.

It is also very comforting for women to hear this because they have also been told for a very long time that it is a man’s world and there is no place for them. The president says NO!!, you write your own future in this country. Women shouldn’t have to feel that because men possess certain occupations they are somehow restricted from entering. That has been true in the past but it’s not true today. If you think I’m wrong, take it up with president.

The left has a very unusual and intellectually immature way of concluding that something is sexist or racist. For instance, they would look at a certain occupation and if they notice that there are many men, they would say that the company or the occupation is sexist. But anyone with commonsense knows that the actual demographic, if you judge simply by demographic, does not tell you anything. For instance, I can say that the health care industry is sexist because a lot of women are nurses and nurses assistant. But I would be obviously wrong because what I did not consider is how many men actually apply to be nurses. The same can be said about truck drivers. One can also conclude that it is sexist occupation, but what we haven’t taken into consideration is how many women actually apply to be truck drivers.

The racist charge can be made in basketball. With many of the best athletes being African-Americans, one can say that the NBA is racist. Once again, how many of you know that white men, predominantly can’t jump? The same can be said about hockey but how many of you know that black men can’t skate?

To anyone with commonsense, we easily realize how intellectually vapid most of the leftist arguments are but they persist nonetheless. It is for that reason that I overwhelmingly commend the president on his speech and I urge every American to watch that speech.
