A look at a possible health care reform option
This option certainly isn’t one being considered by our Dear Leader and the so-called democrat “leadership.” Why not? Well, the fact that it is successful, it works, it actually saves the patients (i.e. the consumers) money, and provides better service, might have something to do with the left’s avoidance. It also could be that the big money donors to the democrats won’t make a dime off this solution as well.
The model is the one used in India.
…health insurance is uncommon in India, so patients typically pay out of their own pockets for routine care. That too plays a role in keeping costs low.As a result, medical services in India are faster, cheaper, and far more consumer-friendly than here.
Let’s compare this to the single payer version in the UK and Canada (the model the democrats want to inflict on most Americans, but not themselves), where there are higher rates of death than in the US for common types of treatable cancer, such as breast, colon and prostate cancer. This is because of the long wait times for basic screening tests when the government runs the health care system. The months you wait for those tests often spell the difference between a treatable cancer and a fatal cancer.
Worcester Tea Party Pictures

There was a small Tea Party Protest at Lincoln Square in Worcester, MA on September 3, 2009.
This was a warm up for three bus loads of Patriots from the Commonwealth going to Washington, D.C. this week for the 9/12 protests.
I have pictures posted at Urbin Photography & at my account on flickr.
I’m also trying to get them posted at PJTV.
Here is one of the videos I took at this protest.
There was a larger Tea Party Protest in Worcester, MA back on Tax Day.
Obama’s Communist Troofer Czar
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Various news orgs are reporting that our Dear Leader‘s Communist Troofer Czar Van Jones resigned. Hardly surprising, his “resignation letter” was one big play of the “victim card.”
Our Dear Leader lost a chance to reach across the aisle by firing this racist, communist, anti-American, but he decided to continue in his path of being the most divisive President since at least Richard M. Nixon.
This goes back to the issue of how did a Communist Troofer get into the inner circle of President of the United States of America? BHO has a vetting problem from day one. Socialists, tax cheats and corrupt government officials have been perfectably acceptable for even cabinet officials in Team Lightbringer.
The folks in the White House obviously don’t see any of these issues, including 9/11 Trooferism and being admitted Communist, as a problem. The vast majority of the American people do see these as being a serious problem, which is just another example of just how out of touch with the average American our Dear Leader and Team Lightbringer are.
Biden’s fantasy
Vice-President Joey Biden is spinning like a top, spreading the fantasy that the porkulus package is doing anything positive for the economy while hundreds of thousands of jobs are being lost each month.
Unemployment is on the rise again
The Obama Economy is operating as predicted, with employment hitting a 26 year high of 9.7%.
Let us review what our Dear Lader and the congressional democrats told us when they rammed the porkulus bill down America’s throat. If the massive spending program (that doesn’t even start to spend two thirds of the money until after 2010) wasn’t passed, unemployment would hit 9% and if it was passed, it wouldn’t go over 8%.
Geoff has a nice chart that compares the Team Lightbringer fantasy with reality. Let me sum up the chart for you, the so called democrat “leadership” who came up with that Charlie Foxtrot are either incompetent or liars. Either one of those solutions is not very comforting to the American people.

I was at a Tea Party protest in Worcester, MA today snapping pictures for PJTV and ran into this fan of PJTV’s Steven Crowder.
Losing your base
Filed under: economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Taxes
Politically, that is a bad thing to do. President G.W. Bush and the GOP acted like they were intentionally out to piss off their fiscally conservative, Libertarian leaning base for most of his time in the White House. Clearly, that strategy didn’t work out too well for them, loosing both houses of Congress and the White House.
Now it seems that our Dear Leader is following yet another bad example set by former President G.W. Bush, i.e. pissing off his base. A lot of the really far left moonbat wackos aren’t happy because he isn’t putting enough admitted communists in positions of power and now it seems that classic liberal, minivan driving, soccer moms are starting to get pissed off our Dear Leader raiding their kids, and future grandkids, college funds through out of control spending and taxes.
Tea Party Attending Liberal Soccer Mom
I’m betting that the owner of this minivan voted for our Dear Leader and isn’t happy with how that turned out.
Why is the left afraid of honest questions?
Here is a video of a leftist protest organizer (probably a paid professional) instructing people attending a town hall meeting (were they bussed in from out of district, like other leftist “protesters”) on how to drown out people asking honest and legitimate questions about ObamaCare.
What does the left have against the First Amendment and the basic right of Free Political Speech?
A quick look at the polls
Lots of interesting data over at Rasmussen today.
Only 29% of American voters are confident That Congress Knows What It’s Doing on Economy!
Only 22% of Americans think that Congress understands ObamaCare.
42% of American Voters Strongly Disapprove of our Dear Leader‘s performance, and total disapproval rating is up to 52%. We now have a majority of American voters who disgress with our Dear Leader!
Sixty percent (60%) of Americans say there is too much media coverage of our Dear Leader‘s personal life and family. Here is some advice to the MSM, less noise, more signal.
Two Thirds of American voters think our Dear Leader is taking America in the wrong direction.
Far left extremist democrat Congress critter “SanFran Nan” Pelosi’s unfavorables have risen to 64%
Score one for the Motor City Madman
I need to find a better source for this interview, but it sound like Ted Nugent.
A French journalist, an animal rights activist, was interviewing Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan. The discussion came around to deer hunting.
The journalist asked, “What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, “Are you my friend?” or is it “Are you the one who killed my brother?”
Nugent replied, “Deer aren’t capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, what am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French.”
The interview ended
