Health Care is Not a Right, it is a Privilege

According to our Founding Fathers, Americans are guaranteed the rights of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness...and only these. These are rights to action, not to rewards from other people. These rights require no obligation on any other person; rather, they guarantee you the chance to work for what you want. The right to life does not mean that others must feed you and nourish you. It means that you have the right to earn your food and your living, if necessary by a hard struggle, and no one can stop you or steal from you once you have earned these things.
You, as an American, should have the right to purchase health insurance as you see fit without government restrictions and you should not be under the impression that your neighbors have to buy it for you; because you know better than anybody else about you and your family's health needs. Also, we are a compassionate country. We have systems set up to help the poor and to help the elderly, charities that help, and churches, among other things.
The following is a quote that I found concerning this issue:
"In medicine, above all, the mind must be left free. Medical treatment involves countless variables and options that must be taken into account, weighed, and summed up by the doctor's mind and subconscious. Your life depends on the private, inner essence of the doctor's function: it depends on the input that enters his brain, and on the processing such input receives from him. What is being thrust now into the equation? It is not only objective medical facts any longer. Today, in one form or another, the following also has to enter that brain: 'The DRG administrator [in effect, the hospital or HMO man trying to control costs] will raise hell if I operate, but the malpractice attorney will have a field day if I don't -- and my rival down the street, who heads the local PRO [Peer Review Organization], favors a CAT scan in these cases, I can't afford to antagonize him, but the CON boys disagree and they won't authorize a CAT scanner for our hospital -- and besides the FDA prohibits the drug I should be prescribing, even though it is widely used in Europe, and the IRS might not allow the patient a tax deduction for it, anyhow, and I can't get a specialist's advice because the latest Medicare rules prohibit a consultation with this diagnosis, and maybe I shouldn't even take this patient, he's so sick -- after all, some doctors are manipulating their slate of patients, they accept only the healthiest ones, so their average costs are coming in lower than mine, and it looks bad for my staff privileges.' Would you like your case to be treated this way -- by a doctor who takes into account your objective medical needs and the contradictory, unintelligible demands of some ninety different state and Federal government agencies? If you were a doctor could you comply with all of it? Could you plan or work around or deal with the unknowable? But how could you not? Those agencies are real and they are rapidly gaining total power over you and your mind and your patients. In this kind of nightmare world, if and when it takes hold fully, thought is helpless; no one can decide by rational means what to do. A doctor either obeys the loudest authority -- or he tries to sneak by unnoticed, bootlegging some good health care occasionally or, as so many are doing now, he simply gives up and quits the field."

What Change Will Obama Bring?

What change will Obama bring to America?

1. Weaken the military: Obama pledged to make defense cuts in a time of war and to cut spending on national missile defense.
Whether you think that the war was a good or bad idea, none of that matters now. We are in Iraq...what do we do next? What will the consequences be if we decide to pull out? Will this make the U.S. more vulnerable? Since 9/11, there have been numerous thwarted attacks on our country... will there be more?

2. Pull the troops, lose the war: Obama promises to throw away gains made by troops by pulling out within 16 months. What kind of effects will this have? There will be consequences...
What will happen to the morale of the soldiers when they are brought home? Do you think they want to come home?

3. Pro gay-marriage: Obama opposes the defense of marriage act...and this is pretty sick...
Marriage is between a man and a woman...done deal. That is what the bible says.

4. Pro partial birth abortion: It is what it says.
Obama is a perfect pro-choice voter. I believe in the God given rights guaranteed by the constitution...life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...mainly life.

5. Legalization of marijuana: Obama has always supported this...
Don't let his flip flops confuse you. Someone give me a good reason what this should happen? Seriously, I would like to know why? Maybe its just me...

6. Give more of our money to other countries: Obama's Global Poverty will give $845 billion more than we already give to other countries to combat global poverty (.7% of U.S. GNP!)
Do you think that the United States can end global poverty? Is this our job? Where is this money going to go, who's hands will it end up in, and where will it come from? Any amount of money in the wrong hands will do nothing for global poverty. Maybe since we are in a "recession" (market correction), we should just increase the tax rebate by .7% of GNP...

7. More spending by the government:
His programs include:
-10 year $150 billion to establish a green energy sector
-$60 billion for a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank
-$50 to $65 billion for Health care
I believe that I know how to spend my money more efficiently than the government. I believe that America knows better as a whole. I believe that empowering the citizens of this country by keeping more money in their hands and by creating incentives for them to succeed in business or whatever profession it is that they do, we can create not only a chepaer heathcare system, but one that that is more efficient and one that has a higher quality of care.

8. Amnesty for illegals: Obama wants to grant the following to illegals:
drivers licenses Medicare
Social Security Medicaid
Why should they have the rights of Americans? Should we be paying for them?

9. Opposes English as our national language: It is what is says.
Come on people...why not? This is America...speak English!

10. Pro gun control, anti-2nd Amendment: Here is the 2nd: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I personally have never shot a gun in my life (besides a BB gun), but if the BOR says I can do it, why should the government take this right away?

11. Mandate flexible automobiles: Obama will mandate that all new vehicles will be able to run off biofuel blends by the end of his first term.
Is this possible? If it isn't, will manufacturers be fined? These fines would undoubtedly be passed down to the consumer. Who is funding the research? American tax dollars?

I'm sure there are more changes too...

Barack Hussein Obama - The most liberal Senator in the United States

What is wrong with Barack Obama. Personally, the better question for me would be what is right with Barack Obama...but now that I think about it, they are both 1 word answers: everything and nothing. But specifically, here are some things wrong with Obama...

1. the man he calls his mentor is a known communist
2. refused to hold his hand over his heart during the National Anthem
3. wants to pay $845 billion to the United Nations to help "relieve global poverty" (new taxes, anyone)
3. has a problem wearing a flag pin
5. association anti-war radicals
6. promises $850 billion in new spending
7. wants to rip upon Nafta because it has "cost 1 million jobs" (20 million new jobs have actually been created since Nafta passed)
8. accomplishments, anyone?
