Ronald Reagan Foretold Inherent Dangers In Obama Forcing Socialism Down Americans' Throats

President Barack Obama has no right, as President of the United States of America, to coerce Americans into paying for medical care. America is a democracy, not a kingdom, and Obama is a president, not a king.


I don't think he gets that, though, and this is extremely troubling to many Americans, including myself. The great and beloved U.S. President Ronald Reagan was way ahead of the political climate that has just occurred regarding the passing of Obama's Health Care Reform Act by Congress.

President Reagan warned Americans years ago, in 1961 to be exact, about the inherent dangers present in socialized medicine. In Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine, a 1961 LP featuring Ronald Reagan speaking for more than 10 minutes, President Reagan said: "subsidized medicine would curtail Americans' freedom" and that "pretty soon your son won't decide when he's in school, where he will go or what he will do for a living. He will wait for the government to tell him." 1

President Reagan continues: "Reagan says "One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project, most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it." Reagan cites the failure of president Harry Truman's national health insurance proposal as evidence of the American people's rejection of socialized medicine." 1

Obama Signs Healthcare Bill - America Now Belongs To Socialists

Obama has signed the Healthcare Bill -- it's official. America is now becoming a Socialist country thanks to President Barack Obama (Democrat), perhaps the most leftist liberal U.S. President in American history.

"Obama paid tribute to what he called the 'historic leadership and uncommon courage' of the members of Congress who pushed ahead with the measure amid the often heated debate. He also hailed the new law, saying it helps lift a 'decades-long drag' on the economy." 1

"Shortly after Obama signed the bill, mostly Republican attorneys general from 13 states said they are suing the federal government to stop the health care overhaul, arguing that the provision that requires Americans to carry health insurance is unconstitutional. Experts say the effort will likely fail because the U.S. Constitution states that federal law supersedes state laws, but the legal challenge may keep the issue fresh in the mind of voters come November." 1

"Now the president must sell the law's merits to a wary American public." 1

"The next act begins Thursday, when Obama visits Iowa City, Iowa, where he announced his health care plan as a presidential candidate in May 2007. There Obama plans to talk about how the new law will help lower health care costs for small businesses and families, selling the overhaul to Americans who are deeply divided over the plan." 1

"The House passed the 10-year, $938 billion bill Sunday night after a rancorous debate. Not one Republican voted for the bill. Some Democrats also voted against it." 1

Thomas Jefferson Led "Old Republican" Wing of Democratic-Republican Party

Did Thomas Jefferson and James Madison believe in political parties? Yes. As a matter of fact, America's Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and James Madison founded the Democratic-Republican Party around 1792. 1


"Jeffersonian purists, or 'Old Republican' wing of the party, led by Jefferson, John Randolph of Roanoke, William H. Crawford, and Nathaniel Macon, favored low tariffs, states' rights, strict construction of the Constitution, and reduced spending. It opposed a standing army. The 'National Republicans,' led by Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams and  John C. Calhoun, eventually favored higher tariffs, a stronger national defense, and 'internal improvements' (public works projects).[4] After the Federalist Party broke up in 1815, many former members joined the D-R's nationalist faction.[5]"


"United States Presidents from the party were: Thomas Jefferson (elected in 1800 and 1804), James Madison (1808 and 1812), and James Monroe (1816 and 1820)."

ST. PATRICK'S DAY: OBAMA Claims Irish Ancestry From County Offaly, Ireland

President Barack Obama reflected on his Irish heritage on St. Patrick's Day today, March 17. Obama also met with Ireland's Prime Minister Brian Cowen. Obama said he has some Irish blood from his mother's side of the family. "'I believe it was my great-great-great-great-great grandfather,' he said at Speaker Pelosi's Friends of Ireland Luncheon today in the Capitol." 1

"But that's two 'greats'more than the far-removed Irish relative he referred to on St. Patrick's Day a year ago as 'my great-great-great grandfather.'" 1

"Then as now, Mr. Obama said the relative hailed from County Offaly, the same as Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen." 1

FEMA Concentration Camps: One More Conspiracy Theory For Truthers

The FEMA Concentration Camps conspiracy theory is on the rise again. "In April of 2009, PM editor-in-chief James Meigs appeared on Glenn Beck's FOX news program twice to debunk conspiracy theories regarding supposed 'concentration camps' being built by the Federal Emergency Management Agency." 1

The facts, however, as in the 9/11 conspiracy theories, and all conspiracy theories are as follows: conspiracy theories, myths and hoaxes only exist in the clever, manipulative minds of their inventors, the conspiracy theorists. On the other hand, debunkers, people who go about debunking myths and conspiracy theories, prove that the imaginary inventions in the minds of conspiracy theorists are false. Experts who practice the art of debunking conspiracy theories expose their falsehood for all the world to see.

Here is one example:

See the photo of a supposed FEMA concentration camp in Wyoming. It is, in reality, a satellite image of a North Korean Forced Labor Camp.

The creators of conspiracy theories have their own agenda, and it is just like this: Creators of conspiracy theories want to convert the minds of everyone to their way of thinking, often for purposes of leftist political manipulation. Unfortunately, there are enough naive and gullible people who are ready and willing to believe almost anything (truthers) and will believe almost anything, especially if it contradicts the political right. This includes those people who claim to be conservatives, including Ron Paul supporters and some libertarians.

1. North Korea/Wyoming
detention center

CLAIM: "There is a minimum of one confirmed
concentration camp built on American soil in rural Wyoming. " The (Department of
Homeland Security) accidentally placed these photos on a publicly accessible
portion of their website " (but) they were pulled within one hour. " The images
are not gone forever though."

FACT: These actually are
legitimate images of "forced-labor colonies, camps, and prisons"—in North Korea.
The images were taken from "The Hidden Gulag: Exposing North Korea's Prison
Camps," a report prepared by the Washington D.C.-based Committee for Human
Rights in North Korea. Then someone manipulated the headers, photo dates and
annotations.

Myths and Hoaxes are not real. Conspiracy theories have already been debunked by experts who have exposed their falsehood. To believe in something that is not real just because you don't happen to agree with conservatives is not wise. The creators of conspiracy theories use the prejudices that leftists harbor against conservatives to their advantage, distorting the truth and making it seem true to those who already want to believe that something "else" must be the real answer.

The obsessive compulsion to believe that President George W. Bush, his Republican cabinet, and the American government caused 9/11 is a perfect example. Truthers, or those who believe in myths, hoaxes and conspiracy theories, believe this lie about Bush, Republicans and America -- truthers believe that the conspiracy theory must be the answer, instead of the obvious, and very real, answer, i.e., that Muslim Jihadist terrorists caused the murderous events of 9/11.

"Truthers", the name popularly used for those who believe in, and propagate, conspiracy theories, are unwilling to learn the real truth about any conspiracy theories they have accepted. Conspiracy theories are almost a religious doctrine for them. The irony of the word "truthers" is that truthers do not believe in truth. Instead, truthers believe in myths, hoaxes, conspiracy theories and lies. Do not become the victim of a conspiracy theorist. Do not believe in a hoax. Believe in the truth.

I have come to the conclusion that the unwillingness of truthers to comprehend the truth, even when presented with facts and scientific evidence that have been presented by professional debunkers, is a serious Catch-22 situation. Truthers want to believe in myths, hoaxes and conspiracy theories. Truthers do not want anyone to contradict the "pretend" facts they religiously adhere to, because the conspiracy theorists tell them that even the facts themselves are conspiracies.

CONSERVATIVE BLOGGER ADVISES ANTI-AMERICAN ''FREE THINKING" LIBERALS TO MOVE TO MIDDLE EAST

If you believe in 9/11 Conspiracy Theories, then you are a "Truther," and I totally disagree with Truthers. There is a great deal of unbiased, scientific evidence proving 9/11 Conspiracy Theories to be completely false, and it is quite comprehensive in its scope.

Besides the scientific evidence, our government, under the leadership of President George W. Bush, would not have wanted to destroy America, or Americans, and the very thought of that is completely absurd.

I don't believe our country killed anyone in the name of religion. You have that backwards. It is the Islamic Jihadist Terrorists, in the name of their Muslim, or Islamic religion, that attacked America, and killed thousands of innocent victims. Our retaliation was not one of religion, but of self-defense.

As for Rush Limbaugh, I happen to like the guy, and certainly would not want a friend who advocates physical violence against him. (Do you really think this is an example of a "free thinking individual", by the way -- to say that you would like to beat up Rush Limbaugh simply because you disagree with him? This has to be an example of a person who has no comprehension of what a "free thinking individual" is.

At the beginning of your message, you stated that you are a "free thinking individual." If you are really as "free thinking" as you suppose yourself to be, then why would you believe in Conspiracy Theories, physical punishment for President George W. Bush, and his cabinet, (you stated that: "Bush, Cheney,Rumsfeld, and Rove should all be punished for war crimes"), and physical violence to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh?

The above statements you made in your email to me do not sound like those of a "free thinker" at all to me. You have bought into a line of thinking consistent with certain leftist, Anti-American liberals who are as far from "free thinking" as is possible in the realm of thought.

My advice to any American who hates America, (and that includes you), is to move to the Middle East, Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan, and then see if life is better in that part of the world.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This post is my response to an email I received this morning from someone who identified himself as being a "free thinking individual who is Agnostic and Liberal." I decided to publish my response as an Open Letter.

9/11: NO MORE CONSPIRACY THEORIES PLEASE

The truth is that fanatical Muslim followers of Osama Bin Laden believed that what they were doing was holy and Godly, and that, after having committed these acts in the name of Allah, they would be blessed forever in the other world as righteous martyrs.

There are those who have walked upon this earth who were true martyrs, and literally gave up their lives to benefit others. The Islamic fanatics that perpetrated the horrendous acts of 9/11 were not martyrs, and, if there is a just God (and I believe there is), they are definitely not being blessed in that other world right now.

I know there are Muslims who are spiritual, kind, honest, and good. I hope they will stand up for whatever truth and goodness they see in their religion, and speak out against terrorists who insist on interpreting the Koran in fanatically disturbing ways.

Vote For A Turkey Today! National Thanksgiving Day Turkey Needs Name

I just finished voting for a very serious cause. I picked a name, out of 6 possible choices, for the lucky National Thanksgiving Turkey whose life will be pardoned by President George W. Bush during the Annual Turkey Ceremony.

If you would also like to vote for the National Thanksgiving Turkey's name, which, by the way is a completely anonymous vote, click

Annual Turkey Day: President Bush Will Pardon Another Fortunate Turkey In 2008

Turkeys have been officially pardoned from being killed and eaten on Annual Turkey Day for 61 years, dating back to 1947. However, turkeys have been receiving presidential pardons unofficially since the days of Abraham Lincoln.

"This year marks the 61st anniversary of the National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation. Though live Thanksgiving turkeys have been presented intermittently to presidents since the Lincoln administration, the current ceremony dates to 1947, when the first National Thanksgiving Turkey was presented to President Harry Truman."
