New Healthcare Plan

I don't know who the author is, but this sounded funny. And, it makes a point.


The Perfect Solution to Senior Health Care

While discussing the upcoming Universal Health Care Program with my sister-in-law the other day, I think we have found the solution.

I am sure you have heard the ideas that if you're a senior you need to suck it up and give up the idea that you need any health care.

A new hip? Unheard of!

We simply can't afford to take care of you anymore. You don't need any medications for your high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, etc. Let’s take care of the young people. After all, they will be ruling the world very soon.

So here is the solution.

When you turn 70, you get a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives. Of course, you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head and all the health care you need!!!

New teeth, great!!!

Need glasses, no problem.

New hip, knee, kidney, lung, heart? Well bring it on.

And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. And, since you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income tax.

I really think we have a Perfect Solution!!!

Dear President Obama....you scare me

Got this in my email today. Haven't posted here in a while. Too busy.

Thought this should start some conversation.

Does that really ever happen anymore?



Dear President Obama...you scare me

ex-Governor Ryan's Newest Roommate

THIS, my dear fellow Illinoisians, is what you get when you vote for a person simply "because he's a Democrat."

[To be honest, Topinka would have looked good in this suit as well...or maybe the orange jump suit. It would have gone better with her hair...]

Pro-McCain / Anti-Obama Campaign Signs

Spanning the globe to bring you the many faces of conservative thought, here is my collection of Pro-McCain/Anti-Obama signs that I've collected so far:

Late Night Comedy

I signed up for emails from Newsmax a long time ago. I delete 99%. They keep sending me this one that says my doctor is lying to me about cholesterol medications. I am thinking these people should find new advertisers if they wish to maintain their credibility.

Anyway, I also get the "Late Night" shows' joke list, and this weeks is good. Conan O'Brien's is my fav.



Late Night Jokes from Newsmax.com

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

● The New York Times had an article on problems with elderly people. They said one of the worst things that could happen to an old person is breaking a hip. The second worse thing? Losing Ohio.

● Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth the other day. Out campaigning, he told a crowd that Hillary is as qualified or more qualified that he is. Plus she still has her original hair.

● Sarah Palin took a break. She went back to Alaska. Now people can go back to ignoring John McCain.

● On her first day back, she shot two campaign commercials, a moose, and a caribou.

Late Show with David Letterman

● Over at ABC, Charles Gibson interviewed Sarah Palin, I believe her first big-time interview. He asked her, “Are you ready to be president?” She said, “Oh fer sure!”

● During the interview, she gave birth to her sixth child.

● I like Sarah Palin; she looks like the dip sample lady at Safeway.

● Matt Damon says Sarah Palin would be a disaster in the White House. I think I’ll wait until I hear what Ben Affleck has to say.



Late Night with Conan O'Brien

● Sarah Palin has been getting briefed on what she needs to know to be John McCain’s vice president. The first thing they taught her was CPR.

● An activist in Alaska is trying to get Sarah Palin to release 1,000 e-mails that she is withholding from the public. Apparently some e-mails went unanswered with the subject line, “Mom I Need to Talk With You About Birth Control.”

● They’re having trouble picking jurors in O.J. Simpson’s armed robbery trial. The judge says they want a jury of O.J.’s peers, but it’s hard to find anyone else who got away with double murder.



The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

● A new study came out that says men have a biological clock, too. I know I do. My big hand is always playing with my little one.

● Kanye West was arrested at LAX. He smashed a paparazzi’s camera after he realized they were filming him. Then, he realized TMZ was there too filming him, so he tried to smash theirs as well. You can’t smash all the cameras. You’d be smashing the airport security cameras, the satellite cameras too. You can’t win. It’s like Wackamo.

● If Kanye wanted to really destroy the photographer’s camera, he should have checked the camera into his baggage.

HYPE

The new movie "Hype: The Obama Effect" will be out in theaters soon.

I could have saved them a lot of money.

Two words: empty suit.

Are You Ready For Some Footbal...I mean Campaigning?

It almost seems like a Superbowl Game with two teams you really don't like, but you're forced to watch anyway. The Soros' SOCIALISTS vs. the Nevada RINOS.

I've been hanging back and watching all the circus over the past few months. The democrats couldn't produce a good or worthy candidate if they wanted to. They've already alienated Joe Lieberman, so he's out. I can't think of any other decent Dems out there. The extreme left's hold on the DNC pollutes the picture, and with the Drive-By Media also pushing the extreme left agenda, no moderate has a snowball's chance in hell.

Decatur Republican had it right (then again, so did Entertainment Earth!) In order for Obama to win this election, McCain would have to stick his head in the sand and ignore all the outrageous crap that Obama brings to the table. Unfortunately, the GOP hasn't had the "testicular fortitude" to nail Obama for the terrorist-associations, racist associations, his wife's "Whitey" statements, the nations most liberal senatorial voting record, and his outright socialist economic policies. IF the GOP pounces on this, and especially if his pacifist approach to radical terrorist groups is proven to be the most foolish thing this side of Neville Chamberlain, I don't think McCain will have much to worry about.

HOWEVER....we all have a lot to worry about when McCain gets in. Will he adopt a more conservative approach? Or will he go for illegal immigrant amnesty and the closing of our prisoner of war camps? I think Mr. McCain needs to think long and hard about WHO is going to get him in the White House and what that WHO truly stands for: conservative political policies, traditional values, and responsibility in finance as well as in management of resources.

"Entertainment Earth" calls the nomination for Obama...

In my email inbox today was another ad from http://www.entertainmentearth.com, a website for toys, action-figures, etc. According to them, the Democratic Nominee is Barak Hussein Obama. I did a search on the site for "Hillary" and "Clinton" and got nothing.

Here's a screen shot from my email:




What's interesting is that they also have an Al Gore mask. Maybe they're getting an early start on Halloween? Pretty scary....

Voting Democrat = Empowering Terrorism?

Yes I know it's a bold statement. And I know that it will infuriate any libs reading (does Matthew Jackson read anything but ChangeDecatur.com anymore?)

Do *ALL* Democrats believe in empowering terrorists? Of course not. The problem is that the ones in leadership do. Or at least they believe in playing political games instead of doing what's right.

First Harry Reid proclaims that they killed the Patriot Act...and there was applause. Is that something to be happy about? For Reid and his fellow extreme-left colleagues it was. Now Nancy Pelosi has refused to allow the House to vote on a crucial bill to extend the Protect America Act, the bill that had overwhelming BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, but didn't get called for a vote. Why? Because the ATLA (American Trial Lawyers) are allies of the Democrats, and the bill would have made exempted phone companies from being sued by trial lawyers when the phone company cooperated with the US government. Newt Gingrich has an excellent article on the subject which everyone should read.

Today's Democratic Party has had a history of playing politics over doing what's right for America. The Patriot Act, this Protect America Act, confirming Judges, delaying/opposing appointments made by the President, even manufacturing "crimes" in order to get political leaders out of office (Tom Delay) while some of their own members who have committed crimes still enjoy being in office (William Jefferson...and Ted Kennnedy. Sorry Matt, I had to say it.) Should Republican Senator Larry Craig have resigned? I don't know...maybe, but not if Jefferson is allowed to stay. As long as Senators who take bribes, stuff the money in their freezer, lie about it still get to keep their job, then a Senator who cruises for a gay lover in a airport restroom should keep his job(by the way, libs, is that a crime? Was any money exchanged? Shouldn't we embrace his life choices and not condemn him?...funny I don't remember hearing that on CNN or PMSNBC...)

Everyone plays politics, both parties. When the political games won't allow Nancy Pelosi to call a vote for a bill that allows for the monitoring of terrorist activity, and puts the people of the whole US at risk, then that party doesn't deserve any support. Even from the conservative democrats of Central Illinois. Obama wants change...I say lets start with the DNC. Once that's done, then we'll consider voting for Democrats. Until then, I say oppose them at every turn.

The Republican Presidential Nominee

Okay, okay, I'm sure that now that the ChangeDecatur topic is off everyone's minds, it's time to move on to the national elections coming this November.

First, the Dems. What can I say. First, we've got an extreme left-wing socialist who has been in the Senate just one term and has absolutley no significant accomplishments. In fact, everything she has tried to do politically up to this point, she has failed at. HillaryCare was a miserable failure. Not even the Democrats in Congress would support it. I would love to have someone please list what experience and success this candidate has had in the past that qualifies her to be president.......I thought so. Moving on. Next, we have a junior Senator from our wonderful state of Illinois who likewise has very little experience. To date, he has the most liberal voting record of ANY current Senator. (Didn't Kerry have that designation, too?) Again, I would love to have someone please list what experience and/or success this candidate has had that qualifies him to be president. Being part of the Chicago political machine doesn't count; we're not talking about being the head of a prison gang, we're talking about the president of the U.S.

Second, the Republicans. We can argue all we want about who is the most conservative and who would best represent the values of the midwest, etc., but regardless...John McCain (barring an act of God..yes I thought that was funny, too) will be our nominee. What experience does he have? Those decades in the US Senate. He's sponsored many bills, some of which have become law (McCain-Feingold, not a popular one amongst many conservatives, but it's there.) He's been in Washington D.C. as part of the U.S. government for decades. He's tough on terrorists (I still think waterboarding is okay...it's better than blowing up buildings or cutting heads off.) He's weak on illegal immigration, but he is Pro-Life. Heck, Bob Dole said he was a good Republican. (I don't know if an endorsement by Bob Dole is a good thing or not.)

What does it mean for us conservatives? It means he's not the ideal candidate. In fact, he's not the one many would want. But, as was told to me on the job many a time, look at the alternative!!!

I would rather have John McCain, a "moderate" RINO, in the White House than the two socialist, surrender-minded, tax-increasing liberals running on the other side. Even if you look past the politics, the experience factor is far and above anything the Dems could even try to make up for either of their candidates. Who is more qualified, politics aside? John McCain.

Like the candidates or not, one must vote to do one of two things: Either vote FOR the candidate that one thinks would do the best job, or vote AGAINST the alternative which would be much worse to endure than the sub-standard candidate in one's usual party of choice.

I say, John McCain for President.

.....ooh....that will take some getting used to......

Military Prepares For Possible Hillary Presidency

Unlikely as it is, if Hillary Clinton does get into the White House, there will be big changes.

Below are snapshots of our military preparing for such a contingency...

Navy pilots' newest guided armament for their jet fighters...

Not to be outdone, the Airforce launches their own version...

Hey y'all. It's been a while.

I have been a bit busy. Most of it taking care of my 6-month-old and working, but also watching the Mrs. William J. Clinton/B. Hussein Obama battle.

So far, I haven't seen a whole lot of mudslinging (yet) from the Republicans. Then again, the MSM hasn't said much about the Republicans. It's always Clinton, Obama, Edwards, or what celebrity is endorsing which one of the above.

Well, I'm no celebrity, and I am not endorsing anyone yet for president. However, of all the Republican candidates, Romney and Huckabee seem to be the two that I would want more than the others. Guiliani would be a third...I think he'd make a good VP, or maybe Homeland Security director. He might make a good president, but I think his stance on illegal immigration stinks. But, that's me.

Here's a couple of Huckabee's ads that I've seen on YouTube. I can't disagree with anything he said.

Okay you conservatives: VPCheney, BA Moonshadow, Macon County Republican, ?Spongeblog (where are you at?)....what do you think?

Al Gore Wins Piece Prize

Al Gore's junk science movie "An Inconvenient Al" got him and some of his U.N. disciples the Nobel Piece Prize yesterday.

A real big piece of . . .well, you know.

In other news, former President William Jefferson Clinton was also given an award this past week for his lifetime contribution in promoting the sanctity of marriage with his never-ending dedication and steadfast faithfulness to his wife.
