It's About Statesmen vs. StatesXmen Thing

Dear America,

"If Congress can do whatever 

in their discretion 

can be done by money, 

and will promote the general welfare, 

the Government is no longer 

a limited one possessing enumerated powers, 

but an indefinite one 

subject to particular exceptions."

 James Madison, circa 1792

 With much appreciation to The Patriot Post 

so this morning i left messages for susan collins, rand paul, john mc cain, and once again, tried to leave a voicemail for mitch mc connell; and to my complete disappointment, getting the ear piercing message that his mailbox was still full and not taking messages, all i wanted to do was scream. 

[Mitch's mailbox has been "full" going on three weeks now, but this is an unscientific assumption based upon my mere efforts to get through; for all I know it's been full since mid January, guessing around the twentieth, the day of reckoning that it was... teehee. Mitch is so pathetic, but I digress.]

Now if you read G regularly, you would already know this:

  

One of my favorite places on the world wide web is The Patriot Post.  It gets the credit for not only the opening thought just this morning, but, also, consistently and diligently leading with inspiring quotes from our founders, compiling commentary from conservative authors far and wide who are fully committed to revealing the revelations and history of our remarkable Republic and its foundations as it pertains to policy and our principles today, and all the while, having the editorial prowess to offer sound opinion upon the day's current events in the name of liberty and justice for all. 

   

The Patriot Post, birthed the same year as my girl, holds a special place in my heart; there is probably not a day that goes by when this girl doesn't mosey on over to see what bells are ringing.

  

Getting the Mid-Day Digest and Alexander's Column automatically via email (highly recommended btw) never fail to impress me, and above all, center me -- especially upon days like this...watching the nonsense bellowing from the halls of Congress.

Congress is so afraid to act as true statesmen, we may as well call them statesXmen; it's as if they have all lost sight --  gone completely deaf and dumb, too -- of keeping to the terms and conditions laid down by our founders.  And considering we have just finished celebrating our Independence for the 241st year in a row, how is it possible we have all completely lost our true independence?

In closing what has to be the most historic, international, smack down documented ever, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Samuel Adams....etc...said the following:

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

They had no idea what lay ahead in the days to come, in the days that continued with the Revolutionary War raging across the colonies.  And yet, being men of great courage, they FIRMLY believed in the process and the cause with unwavering faith, knowing their actions were guided by something greater -- that being, DIVINE PROVIDENCE.   

With unshakable faith, they pledged their allegiance to each other no matter what may come -- because they could see it clearly in their mind's eye and they knew it was going to be good!   It was not only going to be good, it was the right thing to do!  It was not only the right thing to do, it was the honorable thing to do!    So much so, they were willing to risk personal loss, personal indebtedness, personal happiness, against all enemies on behalf of the livelihood and general welfare of the common man.

In one short sentence, a sentiment of the highest standard was displayed without fear; with a confidence setting forth a destiny that would change the world, the stage was set with a willingness to do whatever it takes.

Now -- to the day's statesXmen we have come --  shaking in their loafers/stilettos, being completely dizzy proposing one political antic after another, rather than resting upon the principles that have made America great; for the laws and principles, in policy and constitution, were Divined and reasoned and debated and questioned over the many months and years following the signing of our Declaration of Independence of 1776.  

Taking what amounts to be a compilation of the best of the best of the body politic over the centuries --  if not 5000 years  --  America's Rule of Law came about following the study of civilizations through the ages, mainly of Rome, Greece, and Jerusalem.

To say we are a government "of the people, by the people, for the people" is not some slick gimmick.

The thing is -- with respect to what our founders actually set forth -- this idea of centering on WE the PEOPLE required each new generation to make the same pledge to each other, just as our first statesmen, moving forward.  It called for a certain duty -- to God and to Country and to Countrymen and women and children -- that we continue to be an educated and self-reliant PEOPLE, essentially believing in good self-government above all else; for solid self-government has a way of controlling many flaws, right...

What it did NOT call for -- is allowing for some people to get free stuff, free healthcare, free food, free anything, solely on the backs of the hard working, tax paying Americans without end.  If you are receiving any government benefit, it's not the government supplying these needs; these needs are being supplied to you by the generosity of the community in which you live, through government taxation.

It's a rather direct transaction, too, along with the umpteen unseen fees; corporations and small business and individuals are taxed, and from those proceeds government provides for the common defense, supplies three branches of government with all the bureaucrats amassed to support it, and then decides how to distribute the rest.  And the government can't even do that legitimately living within it's means, now twenty trillion dollars in debt!  Does anyone care how much money that is?

This Obamacare fiasco is a case in point.  This never should have happened in the first place; and how absurd is it that today's GOP cannot figure out how to communicate to the American people just how corrupt and ridiculous this legislation truly is, let alone be brave enough to repeal it!

Mitch McConnell doesn't even come close to being in the same room as statesmanship, this is just a given.  But besides that, healthcare is simply not a commodity that the government can recklessly give away by way of the redistribution of wealth, by way of government subsidy, by way of any other way other than through the avenues of the free market, the natural flow of supply and demand, and of course, lest we forget, good SELF-GOVERNMENT.  [translation:  smoke at your own risk, as just one example.]

The founders recognized what kind of government provided the healthiest relationship between those in power and the governed; clearly, it's now all reduced to a prescription that we have fully abused, erasing two hundred years of common sense.  (See also opioid abuse and 1.3 billion dollar fraud)

At the end of the day, it is the entire GOVERNMENT that needs limitations enforced, department sanctioning,  and perhaps, with due cause, of course,  a few statesXmen jailed for charges of crony capitalism, invasive corruption, and fraudulently spending trillions of dollars of the people's money without proper, lawful cause, and without any way possible to reach solvency before an overdose occurs.

and to think, all this because Mitch didn't answer his f%&ING free phone.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's a Call to Call Your Stupid Senators Thing

Dear America,

“President Obama tried to move us forward with health-care coverage by using a conservative model that came from one of the conservative think tanks that had been advanced by a Republican governor in Massachusetts,” she told The Wall Street Journal. ”Now it’s time for the next step. And the next step is single payer.”

first of all, Elizabeth Warren -- get your facts straight.  Obamacare was not fashioned through the likes of a republican, any republican, okay?  NO REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT!    The architect of the [UN]Affordable Care Act was Jonathan Gruber along with a lot of help by Podesta's liberal think tank, *** Center for American Progress***  

Strong Suggestion:  DON'T click that! It will just make your blood boil!

From THREE YEARS AGO -- Marc Theissen posted this, at a place which advertises this tag line: "democracy dies in darkness."  [Oh you can say that again...] -- anywho, here you go...CLICK THIS!

Don't have time?  Here's the crux of the matter -- 

"As of this weekend,

 there are now seven 

Gruber videos, 

in which he mocks 

the “stupidity” of American voters 

and boasts of the 

Obama administration’s ability

 to take advantage of it. "

oh oh say can you see by the dawn's early light....

or read this part:  

...Asked in Australia whether he had intentionally misled the American people to get the law passed, Obama replied curtly, “No, I did not.” 

Yes, he did. Put aside his now infamous lie of the year in 2013 that “if you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.” Obama also insisted repeatedly that the individual mandate “is absolutely not a tax increase.” In a 2009 interview with ABC News, George Stephanopoulos pressed him on it no less than five times. He even read Obama the definition of “tax” from Webster’s dictionary. Obama was adamant: “My critics say everything is a tax increase. . . . I absolutely reject that notion.” [LIAR!]

If one were to read vintage G thing, dating back to 2009/10...when this healthcare law fiasco was just coming about, plenty of background was exchanged to all of you with regards to this masquerade -- from death panels to little white coat lies made by the Obama Administration.  Go ahead and weave your way back to those good old days, courtesy of the old G Thing, and relive the days before this disaster called Obamacare finally reached a republican advantage to repeal/replace it.

But make NO mistake:  first and foremost, Obamacare was administered fraudulently, and only supported by the Supreme Court AFTER the Chief Justice decided to unconstitutionally change it and call it a tax --  surely coming with a pit in his stomach and heart palpitations.

Andrew McCarthy lays it out quite nicely, here, at The National Review (2013).
The thing is, this reason alone IS grounds to repeal it --
"Tax legislation has to originate in the House; the health-care law didn’t."  

Translation: On this fact alone, Congress should repeal it, for it's illegal!  It did not originate as a tax through the House, making it totally null and void!  What's the HOLD UP, besides this blatant corruption against the American people which congress continues to rob us dumb and blind?

But please, go ahead and read the whole thing by Andrew McCarthy; I'll wait.

do do do do, do do do, do, dado do, do do do.

The second thing is:  

UNIVERSAL 

SOCIALIST

 SINGLE-PAYER 

MEDICINE 

WAS WHERE THIS WHOLE THING 

WAS HEADED RIGHT FROM THE START

we just had to be patient.

that click quotes Obama from 2007!

...because, after all, Jonathan Gruber is an MIT economist,  HE Knew what he was doing and President Obama knew what he was doing and the democrats knew what he was doing....geeze, even little old G Thing knew what he was doing.....

It just so happens that it was the American people who were completely bamboozled (or was that considered  to be just too stupid, Jonathan?) and left in the dark about the god awful naked truth about this brand spanking new entitlement set to break America's back!  Oh the crime against humanity; the republic hasn't seen a day like this since the days of FDR!

From The Weekly Standard's John McCormack, August 2013:

And so we have a rare moment of bipartisan agreement in the United States Senate. Reid now appears to concur with Republican senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, who has has been warning for quite some time that Obamacare was "rigged to fail" in order to pave the way for a total government takeover of the health insurance industry. 

"More than two years after the passage of Obamacare, the data overwhelming show the law will fail to achieve its core objectives of lowering costs and improving access," Coburn wrote in 2012. "That, ironically, may have been the design. By making private insurance unaffordable for everyone, it will become available to no one. All that will be left is government-centered, government-run, single-payer health care.

Here's a decent recap, taking another look while looking at Obamacare Five Years Later, as written for the Washington Examiner, by Robert Ehrlich (August 18, 2016).

QUESTION IS, will Americans continue to let their stupidity undermine the repeal of this single-payer ruse?

I spent a fair portion of my morning calling a few senators; starting with Mitch.

Now, his office answered with a recording, along with an automatic message at the end, claiming the mailbox to be full, and thereby making it completely impossible to leave a message at this time! UGH!  Of course it is.

I promptly sent him an email, and continued to make some calls.

What did I want?
Complete repeal of the Affordable Care Act -- nothing more, nothing less -- just as they had accomplished to do in 2015, when they managed to put just that on the desk of President Obama in January of 2016; and even though knowing full well he wouldn't come close to signing it -- moreover, opening the Oval Office door for Obama to use the procedural political process as mocking material for weeks thereafter.

Translation:  it was a sideshow and completely meaningless, just a symbolic gesture to it's base before 2016 arrives with a presidential size showdown.

So to the question I was prepared to ask his office:
Does Mitch even have any balls left?
But unfortunately, that question was met with the pathetic dribble, we are unable to take your message at this time. but your message is important to us, please call back at another time.

yeah, yeah, three hours later, just tried calling his office again.  nothing but niet

Now given the amount of propaganda being peddled from the Left ...claiming that in the republican bill hundreds of thousands  will die....let's get the take via the left mocking the right, shall we?

Here's some truth, making heads and tails of single-payer systems operating throughout the world.

Don't be stupid, America!  Don't be stupid!

From The Weekly Standard:

But these and other similar columns and editorials miss the point: The Arizona Medicaid story was not grounded in conservative heartlessness or hypocrisy. It resulted from a single-payer health care system crashing into a budgetary brick wall. The real lesson here is that “single payer” and “death panels” go together like “See’s” and “candy.”

About Those Death Panels . . .

The very real threat of government health care rationing.

JAN 31, 2011 | By WESLEY J. SMITH

Good story Wesley J. Smith -- even love the plug for See's Candy, a local favorite xoxo

Okay,

so where are we?

The Left is counting upon Americans to remain ignorant to the truth of how health care and the economics of the marketplace are intertwined; when arguing on behalf of the free market for the betterment of the whole, as any educated American  will surely do, the single payer nonsense has no legs, no arms, and a waiting list 18 months long to see a specialist....and by all ways and means, no place in a free market, competition driven, maximizing choices, decreasing premiums, health care system designed to give the all the freedom directly to the people, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

Returning to how we began the day, Elizabeth Warren is just one in a million peddling a lie about Obamacare coming out of a conservative think tank, blah blah blah blah blah; great spin there, girl, great spin.  Chocking it up to a pattern, as we speak -- this time, telling a lie nearly as remarkable as your claim to be Native American ...when gaming the system to get a job that would allow you the privilege to pawk your caw at the hawvawd yawd...yes, indeed, brush off that Boston accent just for kicks and giggles.  Curious, did you go Mercedes or BMW, fizzy lizzy?

Enough.

This girl is so sick of talking about health care.  So here's my prescription:

Get on the phone, kicking and screaming to your stupid Senators!

Then, go have a cocktail; it's just the best we can do given the circumstances -- the arrival of a big holiday weekend just around the bend.

.

Some might even be moved to say, at this sad state of affairs, that using the 4th of July as a time delay -- a crutch to delay the vote -- is a rather twisted illustration of the real scandal: the spineless, ball-less, useless bunch of Republican Senators who by definition, are primarily responsible for protecting the stupid republic! 

Make it a Good Day, G
