Obamacare: Get Your HealthCare at the DMV

Terence P. Jeffrey at CNSNews wrote on October 14, 2009; The most revelatory passage in the so-called “plain English” version of the health care bill that the Senate Finance Committee approved on Tuesday (without ever drafting the actual legislative language) says that in the future Americans will be offered the convenience of getting their health insurance at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

This is no joke. If this bill becomes law, it will be the duty of the U.S. secretary of health and human services or the state governments overseeing federally mandated health-insurance exchanges to ensure that you can get your health insurance at the DMV.

---Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you a glimpse of the future of your government run health care. I give you Obamacare!

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

• "We're no longer a Christian nation"
• "America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world, "America is mean-spirited." Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you but I don't think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.


After 9/11 you said, "America hasn't lived up to her ideals." Which ones did you mean?

1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ?



2. Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?



3. I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellahs I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.



4. I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
   
   Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
   
   And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
   
   One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.
   
   You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
   
   You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
   
   
   
   Sincerely,
   
   
   
   Harold B. Estes

Ft. Hood

Down in Dothan, AL, a man had a TV on in his office when the news of the military base shootings came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there. He called her into his office and the minute he told her what was going on, she got a text message from her husband saying, "I am okay." The cell phone started ringing right after that. It was an ER nurse. She said, "I'm the one who just sent you a text, not your husband." She thought the message would be comforting, but she immediately knew she had to let the wife know what was going on. She said, "I am sorry but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery."

The wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan and drove all night. Miraculously, here is the photo I just received from my brother that was taken today in the hospital room. He is awake and will recover. His wife, who lives in Dothan, made it to Ft. Hood about the time he was waking up. Thought I'd share this great outcome.

Not surprisingly, This soldier's only contact from Obama was when Obama went on TV to downplay the incident and make his pro-Muslim statement!

Dubya might not have been the brightest bulb on the tree -- but he certainly had the greater integrity. He and Laura visited the Fort Hood survivors, and the families of the deceased, without fanfare -- and before Obama made his campaign stop complete with teleprompters.

Charisma is one thing -- integrity is quite another. The troops wanted to see Bush -- not BO ! The troops will never forget GWB. BO, on the other hand, is their nightmare. Think if it: Having to obey a CINC who is witless and totally unfamiliar with things military -- who won't even use the word terror -- and who announced a new policy in the war last March and who is now avoiding a decision while Americans are dying abroad -- and on American soil! Our president is a loser through and through -- a man who has a way with words but, down deep, is shallow. So shallow that we must all fear for our future

Bet the media has not shown this picture!!!

Maj. Nidal Hasan To Be Charged By The U.S. Military Under The UCMJ Rather Than A Civilian Court

Monday, the Associated Press (AP) reported investigative officials as saying that Maj. Nidal Hasan of the Fort Hoord massacre will be charged by the U.S. military under the UCMJ rather than in civilian court.

The following is Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, under which Maj. Hasan may be charged. Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice authorizes only two sentences for the crime of premeditated murder: death or life imprisonment. The latter entails at least the possibility of parole.

If found guilty, convicted then sentenced to death under Article 118 of the UCMJ, the only way Maj Hasan could escape being executed is if his sentence is commuted by the President under Article 71(a) of the UCMJ.

Punitive Articles of the UCMJ Article 118—Murder

Text.
“Any person subject to this chapter who, without justification or excuse, unlawfully kills a human being, when he—”

(1)has a premeditated design to kill;

(2)intends to kill or inflict great bodily harm;

(3)is engaged in an act that is inherently dangerous to another and evinces a wanton disregard of human life; or

(4)is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of burglary, sodomy, rape, robbery, or aggravated arson; is guilty of murder, and shall suffer such punishment as a court-martial may direct, except that if found guilty under clause (1) or (4), he shall suffer death or imprisonment for life as a court-martial may direct.
Elements.


(1) Premeditated murder.
(a) That a certain named or described person is dead;
(b) That the death resulted from the act or omission of the accused;
(c) That the killing was unlawful; and
(d) That, at the time of the killing, the accused had a premeditated design to kill.


(2) Intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm.
(a) That a certain named or described person is dead;
(b) That the death resulted from the act or omission of the accused;
(c) That the killing was unlawful; and
(d) That, at the time of the killing, the accused had the intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm upon a person.


(3) Act inherently dangerous to another.
(a) That a certain named or described person is dead;
(b) That the death resulted from the intentional act of the accused;
(c) That this act was inherently dangerous to another and showed a wanton disregard for human life;
(d) That the accused knew that death or great bodily harm was a probable consequence of the act; and
(e) That the killing was unlawful.


(4) During certain offenses.
(a) That a certain named or described person is dead;
(b) That the death resulted from the act or omission of the accused;
(c) That the killing was unlawful; and
(d) That, at the time of the killing, the accused was engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of burglary, sodomy, rape, robbery, or aggravated arson.
Explanation.


(1) In general. Killing a human being is unlawful when done without justification or excuse. See R.C.M. 916. Whether an unlawful killing constitutes murder or a lesser offense depends upon the circumstances. The offense is committed at the place of the act or omission although the victim may have died elsewhere. Whether death occurs at the time of the accused’s act or omission, or at some time thereafter, it must have followed from an injury received by the victim which resulted from the act or omission.


(2) Premeditated murder.
(a) Premeditation. A murder is not premeditated unless the thought of taking life was consciously conceived and the act or omission by which it was taken was intended. Premeditated murder is murder committed after the formation of a specific intent to kill someone and consideration of the act intended. It is not necessary that the intention to kill have been entertained for any particular or consider-able length of time. When a fixed purpose to kill has been deliberately formed, it is immaterial how soon afterwards it is put into execution. The existence of premeditation may be inferred from the circumstances.
(b) Transferred premeditation. When an accused with a premeditated design attempted to unlawfully kill a certain person, but, by mistake or inadvertence, killed another person, the accused is still criminally responsible for a premeditated murder, because the premeditated design to kill is transferred from the intended victim to the actual victim.
(c) Intoxication. Voluntary intoxication (see R.C.M. 916(1)(2)) not amounting to legal insanity may reduce premeditated murder (Article 118(1)) to unpremeditated murder (Article 118(2) or (3)) but it does not reduce either premeditated murder or unpremeditated murder to manslaughter (Article 119) or any other lesser offense.


(3) Intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm.
(a) Intent. An unlawful killing without premeditation is also murder when the accused had either an intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm. It may be inferred that a person intends the natural and probable consequences of an act purposely done. Hence, if a person does an intentional act likely to result in death or great bodily injury, it may be inferred that death or great bodily injury was in-tended. The intent need not be directed toward the person killed, or exist for any particular time before commission of the act, or have previously existed at all. It is sufficient that it existed at the time of the act or omission (except if death is inflicted in the heat of a sudden passion caused by adequate provocation— see paragraph 44). For example, a person committing housebreaking who strikes and kills the householder attempting to prevent flight can be guilty of murder even if the householder was not seen until the moment before striking the fatal blow.
(b) Great bodily harm. “Great bodily harm” means serious injury; it does not include minor injuries such as a black eye or a bloody nose, but it does include fractured or dislocated bones, deep cuts, torn members of the body, serious damage to internal organs, and other serious bodily injuries. It is synonymous with the term “grievous bodily harm.”
(c) Intoxication. Voluntary intoxication not amounting to legal insanity does not reduce un-premeditated murder to manslaughter (Article 119) or any other lesser offense.


(4) Act inherently dangerous to others.
(a) Wanton disregard of human life. Intentionally engaging in an act inherently dangerous to another—although without an intent to cause the death of or great bodily harm to any particular person, or even with a wish that death will not be caused—may also constitute murder if the act shows wanton disregard of human life. Such disregard is characterized by heedlessness of the probable consequences of the act or omission, or indifference to the likelihood of death or great bodily harm. Examples include throwing a live grenade toward another in jest or flying an aircraft very low over one or more persons to cause alarm.
(b) Knowledge. The accused must know that death or great bodily harm was a probable consequence of the inherently dangerous act. Such knowledge may be proved by circumstantial evidence.


(5) During certain offenses.
(a) In general. The commission or attempted commission of any of the offenses listed in Article 118(4) is likely to result in homicide, and when an unlawful killing occurs as a consequence of the perpetration or attempted perpetration of one of these offenses, the killing is murder. Under these circumstances it is not a defense that the killing was unintended or accidental.
(b) Separate offenses. The perpetration or attempted perpetration of the burglary, sodomy, rape, robbery, or aggravated arson may be charged separately from the homicide.
Lesser included offenses.


(1) Premeditated murder and murder during certain offenses. Article 118(2) and (3)—murder


(2) All murders under Article 118.
(a) Article 119—involuntary manslaughter
(b) Article 128—assault; assault consummated by a battery; aggravated assault
(c) Article 134—negligent homicide


(3) Murder as defined in Article 118(1), (2), and (4).
(a) Article 80—attempts
(b) Article 119—voluntary manslaughter
(c) Article 134—assault with intent to commit murder
(d) Article 134—assault with intent to commit voluntary manslaughter
Maximum punishment.


(1) Article 118(1) or (4) -- death. Mandatory minimum -- imprisonment for life with eligibility for parole.


(2) Article 118(2) or (3)—such punishment other than death as a court-martial may direct.

The Hijacking of Patriotism To Mask The Stench Of A Fetid Agenda

As I have made the rounds of internet news sites to monitor political events, I have found that political pundits from both sides of the aisle are referring to themselves as patriots. More and more frequently each side accuses the other side of not being patriotic. Yet, it is appearing more as if the accusations from the left are made to mask their true agenda and lack of patriotism when they try shout down and marginalize the grassroots opposition to the agenda that is pushed by Mr. Obama and other misguided progressives.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi questions the opposition’s patriotism and is on record of labeling the "Tea Party" protesters as Nazis. This appears to be calculated to infer that of millions of hard working Americans are not patriots at all, but hateful bigots and thugs who are being selfish for their insistence in not wanting to pay their ‘fair share’ via increased taxes to pay for increased, big nanny, governmental control over yet more of their lives. The Axis of Extremists believe it is their 'patriotic' duty to finance their agenda by sucking more off the fruits of the working American's labor, so that the have-nots (lazy, entitlement addicted, malcontents) can live comfortably sucking off the government teet with little, or no effort on their part. This is patriotism as our Democratic leadership defines patriotism.

It has become voguish for the left to accuse the opposition of not being patriotic for resisting the kind of ‘change’ that Mr. Obama has promised for America. The kind of ’change’ that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the dominating leftists on Capitol Hill are intent on ramming down the throats of Americans who object to the liberal (socialist) agenda.

One has only to read any comment section that may follow many online political commentary, or news article that is critical of what the Capitol Hill Gang and Mr. Obama, all of who I call the ’Axis of Extremists’, are endeavoring to accomplish. We see a push for the socialization of the American economy and way of life at the expense of those who simply want to work, live their lives, and to be left alone by an ever expansive, intrusive and burdensome federal government; the same government that portends to help all the people through their beneficence, paid for on the back of the hard working taxpayer.

When concerned Americans voice opposition to the progressive’s agenda, the overseers of the Axis of Extremists; Mr. Obama, Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid disparage those hard working Americans who simply want to preserve the greatness of America and the American way of life. The Axis of Extremists and their supporters repeat, ad nauseum that they are doing their patriotic duty for the people, whether or not the people want the change they promote and support. The Axis of Extremists presume that they themselves know better than the American people. Those who question, or protest the Axis of Extremists are seen as agents provocateurs and are labeled as being anything, but patriots.

The Encarta World English Dictionary defines a patriot as a proud supporter or defender of his or her country and its way of life. This simple definition would perfectly describe those who voice opposition to the Axis of Extremists and the agenda to socialize America. So, if one embraces, respects and believes in the preservation of the American way of life, the beliefs that patriot’s all over America cherish and embrace, then is stands to reason that those who want to fundamentally change the way America functions and operates are the farthest thing from being patriots.

If one's goal is to tear down and replace that which our Founding Fathers left us in a constitutional republic by way of our Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution, then one must most sincerely question the patriotism, or lack thereof, from those who feel compelled to redefine this country into something that no longer will resemble that which our Founding Fathers left to us.

The Axis of Extremists have become very skilled over the years at hijacking and redefining words for their own use. When the Axis of Extremists attempt to mask the fetid stench of that which they believe and embrace, ultimately to be foisted upon the working people who are unwilling, the Axis of Extremists will hide behind powerful and flowery sounding rhetoric and terms designed try to make the stench of that which they peddle smell much sweeter. William Shakespeare wrote; A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. William Shakespeare was saying; What matters is what something is, not what it is called. We know that socialism is not patriotism. The Axis of Extremists needs us to believe that socialism renamed patriotism is what we must have for our country. They think it is their 'patriotic' duty to drive this nation quickly down that path.

The Axis of Extremists on Capitol Hill insist that they are the true patriots, when in fact they have nothing in common with patriots. It does not matter what Obama, Pelosi, Reid and their supporters call themselves when they erroneously call themselves patriots. They spin it all into one giant lie. The Axis of Extremists in their deeds and actions while ‘serving’ we the people betray themselves as not being patriots, but as being the antithesis of what a Patriot is; traitors.

A traitor is defined as a person who is disloyal. In the case of Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid along their legions of blind, Kool-Aid drinking supporters, they would destroy this nation and all that it stands for, because their actions and beliefs are traitorous. Other terms that may be used to describe these traitorous malcontents are: Benedict Arnold, Judas, back-stabber, betrayer, conspirator, deceiver, defector, deserter, double-crosser, fink, hypocrite, snitch, and treasonist. I could go on, but space is limited. You get my point.

Next time you hear the Axis of Extremists questioning the patriotism of those who oppose their anti-American agenda, think of what the Axis of Extremists are really trying to do. They are trying to confuse and mislead us by questioning the patriotism of hard working Americans as they attempt to sweeten the smell of their own motives and agenda by hijacking and redefining patriotism to fit themselves and their agenda. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda would be proud that his tactics are so effectively used by the Axis of Extremists. Goebbles believed that if a lie was repeated enough, it would be seen as truth by the people. The Axis of Extremists believes this too. Still, we the real patriots, see right through it all.

Obama; A Disingenuous Media Whore

After Thursday’s massacre at Fort Hood by a Muslim officer, Mr. Obama, upon the conclusion of his White House Tribal Nations Conference, addressed the media. For over two minutes, Mr. Obama spoke of his accomplishments and agenda of the day before he mentioned the fallen at the hands of a Muslim terrorist at Fort Hood. The fact that Mr. Obama failed to immediately address the media about the Fort Hood tragedy gave evidence that Mr. Obama’s agenda and that of Native Americans (votes) took precedence over our Heroes in uniform.

Today, Mr. Obama addressed the media of the Fort Hood massacre. When Mr. Obama completed his comments, he immediately segued to patting himself on the back for his accomplishment of the day of signing new legislation to extend unemployment benefits (votes).

Two days in a row, Mr. Obama used the tragedy of Fort Hood as an excuse to get in front of the cameras to push his agenda (votes). Mr. Obama could have shown a touch of class by addressing the Fort Hood Massacre to a concerned nation without going into his usual community organizing and campaign mode while he had the attention of the media.

Mr. Obama’s actions were not presidential, nor respectful of the fallen of Fort Hood. This makes Mr. Obama our Media Whore of the week.
