Can you imagine the editorial cartoonist just drooling the day that Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? Talk about prime fodder for their pen and ink!
This is one of my favorite editorial cartoons:
I realize that the majority of the posts in this blog are political in nature, but one of my reasons for choosing to homeschool my children this year was also political in nature.
If you haven't seen this widely circulated video, you should.
"Equal work for equal pay?"
”Red and yellow; black and white…they are equal in his sight”… Ummm... I do believe that is a Sunday School song and it was NOT talking about Obama. It was talking about JESUS CHRIST!
Pre-Algebra, Greek/Latin, English &Grammar, American History, Science.... that is an education. I am not sure what those children were doing.
And that is just one of the reasons why my boys are NOT in public school anymmore.
WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. The President is either clueless or being deliberately deceptive. I suspect it is the latter. But this is what happens when you have the bully pulpit. You can label the opposition as the "Party of No" and no one in the media will dare question it.
Here are at least four plans proposed by members of the Senate which do not include a public option.
S. 391 The Healthy Americans Act - Proposed by Senators Bennett (R-UT) and Wyden (D-OR).
S. 1324 The Health Care Freedom Act - Proposed by Senator DeMint (R-SC).
S. 1099 The Patients' Choice Act - Introduced by Senators Coburn (R-OK) and Burr (R-SC). This bill also includes support from members of the House.
Coverage, Prevention, Reform (CPR) - A plan suggested by Senator Gregg (R-NH). [Note: At present, I found no legislation proposed by Gregg with this plan included.]
A staff source for the Senate Republicans informs me there is another proposal being worked on presently by Senators Hatch (R-UT), Kyl (R-AZ), Cornyn (R-TX), Ensign (R-NV), and Barrasso (R-WY). I am told that this plan has more state-based reform, which would encourage states to make needed reforms in a way that isn’t “one size fits all.”
There are also several pieces of legislation in the House, put forth by the Republican Study Committee. These bills have been consolidated under the Empowering Patients First Act.
What's that? You had no idea there were all these proposals out there? Most people don't. The media and the Democrats have a strange way of sheltering us from the truth - for our own good, of course.
In the coming weeks (assuming legislation isn't passed quickly), I will attempt to break down each of the proposals and highlight things that will truly reform our nation's health care. In the meanwhile, I recommend watching some of the video clips from the Senate Doctors Show. Drs. Coburn and Barrasso talk with people in the medical industry (and the public) and listen to their concerns. It is very enlightening.
Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy passed away during the night. It is being covered on every television station, radio station and internet network. Video montages are being put together of his life's work.
Our President hailed him this morning as "one of the greatest senators of our time". I find that to be such a sad statement and commentary on our Country. Why? Because Senator Kennedy's legacy is one that will affect this Nation is such negative ways.
Although Senator Kennedy began his political career as a proponent for pro-life and traditional family values, money and politics soon corrupted his ethics and moral leanings. His most recent political activities were in the areas of abortion rights, same-sex 'marriage' and the pushing of the homosexual agenda in our public schools.
I grieve with the family of Senator Kennedy in the loss of someone they loved so much, but I also grieve for the sad legady which Senator Kennedy left behind when he could have done so much more.
