Closing argument?… He’s yet to make his case.
Over 200 Tea Party Patriots protested Obama’s health care speech today in Philly.
FOX News reported:
Mr. Obama said there isn’t time to scrap the Democrats’ health reform plan and start over, as polls suggest many if not most Americans want. He said “we need to pass health reform…not next year…not five years from now…but now.”

It has become evident that power needs to be
devolved from the federal government.
This current grab for power by the federal
government must be stopped here and now.
Then, we must begin the long fight to reclaim our
freedom from an overbearing national government.
One avenue of addressing this issue is to foster
states to assert their constitutional rights, duties,
and obligations on our behalf.
Another is to effect a continual turnover of Congress.
A third is to prod the federal judiciary to uphold its
obligation to interpret and defend the Constitution,
and not attempt to overwrite it.
We can reclaim our freedom, using the tools
available and provided by our forefathers and
Providence.

Major Kong commented:
Everything is an emergency because anything he touches turns to crap! Still, given his malignant narcissistic megalomaniac tendencies, I’m certain such shows of disapproval confirm in his delusional twisted mind that HE is right by gawd!

They have no legitimate arguments to support their bills.
The Stimulus Bill was an emergency too. We have to pass it NOW or disaster will strike!
The lefties are so predictable.

OT..
another subject i’m pretty sure Tea Partiers (or
anyone else but Obama) may not be aware of..
Islamic Political Party of America
[The Muslim Town Hall, was a two hour event held at the Government Center in Charlotte. There were around 200 in attendance, most of whom were Muslim. Rep. Myrick opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a brief discussion on the principles all Americans are sworn to uphold including most importantly our U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the core principles of religious freedom for all. She then turned it over to the audience for questions.
The two hour session did prove to be a profoundly revealing exposure of the real ideologies of leading Muslims in Charlotte, in North Carolina, and nationally. The American Islamic Forum for Democracy was invited by Rep. Myrick to provide some 'Muslim' balance to the repetitive narrative of local Islamists which proved to dominate the Town Hall save the cogent responses from Cong. Myrick. The discussion centered on issues related to Muslims, Islam, Islamism, Terrorism, radicalism, shar'iah, CAIR, and the threat of radical Islam in America.]

If you recall the SKY WAS FALLING last February, when we were told the PORKULUS had to be passed immediately. It was. It didn’t help, In fact the lying bag of s**t Obama still has HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS OF BILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIONS of our childrens dollars in reserve for his own slush fund. Not only could this SLUSH FUND not be used to help with UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION, but the MSM played the CHILDREN WILL STARVE GAME.
Now we are told that the SKY IS FALLING AGAIN. BULLS**T. Obama is a motherf***ing Marxist. He doens’t know what the truth is.

Ronald Reagan in 1961 gave a speech about socialized medicine and how to defeat it. I think it is as relevant today as ever. Ronald Reagan is 50 years later spot on.
As if we’re not already overextended enough financially, the issue of National Health Care is now on the table once more vote. Here’s some perspective you might find interesting.
Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program.
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.
Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it. We had an example of this. Under the Truman administration it was proposed that we have a compulsory health insurance program for all people in the United States, and, of course, the American people unhesitatingly rejected this.
Let’s take a look at social security itself. Again, very few of us disagree with the original premise that there should be some form of savings that would keep destitution from following unemployment by reason of death, disability or old age. And to this end, social security was adopted, but it was never intended to supplant private savings, private insurance, pension programs of unions and industries.
Now in our country under our free enterprise system we have seen medicine reach the greatest heights that it has in any country in the world. Today, the relationship between patient and doctor in this country is something to be envied any place. The privacy, the care that is given to a person, the right to chose a doctor, the right to go from one doctor to the other.
But let’s also look from the other side, at the freedom the doctor loses. A doctor would be reluctant to say this. Well, like you, I am only a patient, so I can say it in his behalf. The doctor begins to lose freedoms; it’s like telling a lie, and one leads to another. First you decide that the doctor can have so many patients. They are equally divided among the various doctors by the government. But then the doctors aren’t equally divided geographically, so a doctor decides he wants to practice in one town and the government has to say to him you can’t live in that town, they already have enough doctors. You have to go someplace else. And from here it is only a short step to dictating where he will go.
This is a freedom that I wonder whether any of us have the right to take from any human being. All of us can see what happens once you establish the precedent that the government can determine a man’s working place and his working methods, determine his employment. From here it is a short step to all the rest of socialism, to determining his pay and pretty soon your children won’t decide when they’re in school where they will go or what they will do for a living. They will wait for the government to tell them where they will go to work and what they will do
What can we do about this? Well, you and I can do a great deal. We can write to our congressmen and our senators. We can say right now that we want no further encroachment on these individual liberties and freedoms. And at the moment, the key issue is, we do not want socialized medicine.
Former Representative Halleck of Indiana has said, “When the American people want something from Congress, regardless of its political complexion, if they make their wants known, Congress does what the people want.”
So write, and if your representative writes back to you and tells you that he or she too is for free enterprise, that we have these great services and so forth, that must be performed by government, don’t let them get away with it. Show that you have not been convinced. Write a letter right back and tell them that you believe in government economy and fiscal responsibility; that you know governments don’t tax to get the money the need; governments will always find a need for the money they get and that you demand the continuation of our free enterprise system. You and I can do this. The only way we can do it is by writing to our congressmen even we believe that he is on our side to begin with. Write to strengthen his hand. Give him the ability to stand before his colleagues in Congress and say “I have heard from my constituents and this is what they want.”
Write those letters now; call your friends and them to write them. If you don’t, this program I promise you will pass just as surely as the sun will come up tomorrow and behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country. Until, one day, as Normal Thomas said we will awake to find that we have socialism. And if you don’t do this and if I don’t do it, one of these days we are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children, what it once was like in America when men were free.
Ronald Reagan was a truly great American. America misses this great man. I hope another Reagan comes along and soon. America needs a hero in this darkest hour. I don’t think Obama is the man.

The woman in the video said her premiums doubled. Suddenly?
Didn’t BO cut backroom deals with some insurance companies? Are they playing along — jacking up premiums to the point of creating a “crisis” that will scare people into accepting anything, and now?
There’s BO saying we can’t wait. The emergency has arrived. No, America. Satan has arrived. And he can be defeated.
Buck up. We’ll get through this. Remember, when Satan came around whispering his lies, the Lord simply responded with the truth.
