Taking a break...

I won't be adding anything to this blog for a while. I've been spending hours on the internet since the communist imposter took office, reading, researching and maintaining my website. I've quit updating the website too. I felt that words were not accomplishing anything positive, and all the negativity was tearing me up physically and mentally. My PTSD and depression are getting pretty strong, and even the VA advises that this would be a good time to 'off' myself.

So, I decided to pursue other interests. I've always been interested in the urban legend that you can learn how to build a nuclear bomb on the internet. I thought I might look into that to see if it's true.

Then I plan on one last trip to D.C. to say good bye to a lot of my friends on the Vietnam Wall and to read the Constitution at the National Archives if it's still there.

You Can See How Government-Run Healthcare Works RIGHT NOW!

This is for all of you, the town hall protesters that Nancy Pelosi calls Nazis, as well as all the (declining) members of the Kool-Aid Brigade.

I say declining members because just as when the Clinton’s tried ramming health care “reform” down our throats years ago, the more people learn of the details of this legislation, the people who support it grow less and less.

But I digress.

If you truly want to learn how well the government will run health care, you need to look no further than the Veterans Administration.

 

(Maybe worse than yesterday's story about soviet healthcare. More disgusting when you consider that these veterans incurred their disabilities while defending the nation that is now abusing them. Click on the title to read the article.)

What Soviet Medicine Teaches Us

In 1918, the Soviet Union became the first country to promise universal "cradle-to-grave" healthcare coverage, to be accomplished through the complete socialization of medicine. The "right to health" became a "constitutional right" of Soviet citizens.

The proclaimed advantages of this system were that it would "reduce costs" and eliminate the "waste" that stemmed from "unnecessary duplication and parallelism" — i.e., competition.

These goals were similar to the ones declared by Mr. Obama and Ms. Pelosi — attractive and humane goals of universal coverage and low costs. What's not to like?

Witchcraft in the White House

The Obama White House is abuzz with talk of witchcraft by first grandmother, 72-year-old Marian Robinson, who lives in the White House residence. A close friend of Michelle Obama says the president is furious at his mother-in-law after learning that she was practicing Santeria, an African spirit cult, in the White House.

(The Whitehouse has seen many strange things in 200 plus years. This may be in the running for first place. Click on the title to read the whole story. Chickens and goats, oh my!)

Let’s talk about the doctors under Obama Care

borrowed from Bookworm on Aug 14 2009  

The one thing that Obama supporters are not discussing is the making of a doctor. The good doctors we have come as the result of a grueling process. The best and the brightest, rather than leaving college and going off to make money, instead opt for the following:

1. Four more years of graduate training, including (a) the trauma of anatomy classes and (b) the exhaustion of clinical work, which is what they do in the last two years. The students pay to do this (or go into debt), with even the state funded medical schools costing about $40,0o0 — and that’s a minimum. Go to Harvard, and you’re out of pocket about $150,000 for this training.

2. An internship, which is one year of all work, on the one hand, and no sleep and almost no pay, on the other hand.

3. If your young doctor wants to be anything more than a prison doctor, after internship, s/he does a minimum two year residency, which is two more years of virtually unpaid time spent working, not sleeping.

4. If your young doctor wants to be anything more than an internist or family practitioner, then the additional residency years or fellowship years begin. Again, almost no pay and no sleep.

This means that the surgeon diving into your abdomen, or heart, or brain is someone who is (a) in the top two percent of our academic population and who (b) sacrificed up to 12 years of his/her life plus tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for the privilege of making that cut — and doing it right, so that you don’t bleed out or die of an infection, and so that you have a minimal scar and maximum comfort.

If medicine is no longer remunerative, there is no incentive for good people to make these kinds of sacrifices. I’ll remind you that, in the former Soviet Union, medicine was a very devalued profession. It was harder work than most other jobs and, because it was essentially uncompensated, no one wanted to do it.

End of Bookworm's Essay.

Bookworm's last paragraph predicts the future of medecine in the U.S. Med schools will no longer be filled with the "best and the brightest" they'll be filled with affirmative action admissions and those who chose not to enter more demanding professions. Medicine will follow the model of education in America. Two generations have now been taught by ill-trained, apathetic and incompetent teachers. Millions of Americans lack reasoning skills, are told what to think by network news anchors; have no sense of history or geography or it's significance on thir lives. They can not balance their own checkbook and don't understand the fuss about large amounts of money in Washington D.C.

In 20 - 30 years when the old generation of doctors retires and dies off, to be replaced by the obamadocs, it may become really hard to find a doctor you can trust your life to (unless you're over 65, then you're toast anyway). Maybe it's good that the Mexican border is being left open. They can sneak North to sell drugs, and we can sneak South to get Medical care.

Preparing for civil unrest

By Claire Wolfe

The most remarkable thing about civil unrest is that there hasn't been more of it.

Politicians are making a hash of this country—and much of the rest of the civilized world. We know it. They know it. They know we know it. But we don't feel we can do anything much to stop them.

That right there is the pre-condition for civil unrest—when people are frustrated and politicians are nervous.

Worse, that was how things stood before last fall's crash. Before pols on both left and right launched the biggest mass transfer of wealth in history—transferring our wealth (what we had left of it!) to their friends on Wall Street and in the banking industry. In other words, that's how things were before things got bad!

More Fishy Information

Hey big 0, yesterday I informed you about my subversive website www.anddomestic.com but I forgot to inform you that I also have a subversive blog at http://suspected-rightist.blogspot.com/ - that one is really fishy. I post all kinds of opinions and quotes about you and your administration. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." It says that in the Bible and the CIA liked it so much that they adopted it as a motto. - I'm sorry, you don't like the Bible or the CIA very much, do you?

 

(Now I'm quoting my own website which is quoting the text of an email I sent this morning to the flag@whitehouse.gov informant address. I can't believe our own government is doing this. At least now I know someone is reading the mail when I act crazy and send them crap. - As usual, click the title to view the rest of the article.)
