It's Friday

As you know on Friday I leave you with a quote. Today's quote is from Abraham Lincoln:

" You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves"
If you go to the Forum at www.pineconeconservatives.org you will see the expanded version of this discussion. I have two more quotes on that page that go along with this one. I will be discussing these on Monday.

Did you hear the one about

Have you ever been told a joke that started out as "did you hear the one about..." and it turned out to be the worst joke ever?

Well that's what we have with the Obama Administration. Tonight the president is hosting the first ever Beer Summit at the playground on The White House grounds. This is in a response to the arrest of the Presidents friend Professor Gates of Harvard University. The joke here is that Professor Gates teaches Race relations. He was arrested by Officer Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department after a 911 call was made about a man breaking into a home.

As it turned out the Professor was breaking into his own home. He was arrested after he displayed some sort of tirade and spewed racial remarks at the arresting Officer. When asked about the incident, the President said , " he didn't have all the facts, but the Police acted stupidly".

After all was said and done, the woman who made the complaint said nothing about a black man, even when asked about who was breaking in. The Police officer is known for his professionalism on the job in race relations. The second joke here is the President elevated this situation and is now trying to make good by exploring ways of communication when race is involved.

What we fail to recognize is that it was not a white man that created an unsafe environment in this particular setting. It was not a White man that sat in a Chicago Church for 20 years and listened to a black preacher spew words of hate against white society and his very own Country; it was our president. It was a concerned citizen doing her duty and it was a man doing his job!

What we should be questioning is the objectivity of Professor Gates and the President in race relations. This is no joke!

Two definitions

As I wrote the Forum today I realized that two definitions were missing from the debate. The definitions define the differences between Liberals and Conservatives.

Webster's defines the word Liberal: lib-er.al as: Tending to give generously: a liberal benefactor. 2. Generous in amount; ample: a liberal tip. 3. Loose; approximate: a liberal adaptation of the novel for the screen. 6. Having or expressing political views that favor civil liberties, democratic reforms, and the use of governmental power to promote social progress.

Webster's defines the word Conservative: 1. tending to oppose change; favoring traditional values. 2. Traditional in manner style; not showy: Moderate; cautious; restrained. Re-formed in its willingness to accept changes in traditional ritual and custom.

Considering the differences between the two, it becomes clear how we as a nation must defeat the liberal by exposing their agenda through the use of truth with the definition itself.

Our forefathers fought for freedom from an oppressive King. Our forefathers designed a system that was Constitutionally limited. Our forefathers believed in God and all the good that man could create, if free.

They would defeat any oppressive government program that would be forced on the citizenry by way of a government that is acting in direct conflict to what they designed and died for.

Study the two definitions and decide which one you identify with then go talk to your neighbor to define your terms.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON

Remember the TV show Lost In Space. If you you do, remember the term DANGER WILL ROBINSON.

We must organize now to elect men and women that will make this President moot by stopping him in the halls of Congress.

I have been reading The House Bill 3200 and I am finding alarms and danger signs on just about every page. Please go to www.pineconeconservatives.org and go to the House and Senate bill tab to read it for yourself.

The unwritten danger is the new term of DUTY TO DIE. If this bill passes in any form the government will be telling us what care we can expect what procedures we can get and it will be based on statistics instead of your personal desires and concerns. In essence the government would make it a patriotic thing to just take a pill for the pain. DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

We are the most advanced and free people in the history of mankind. Don't let this President make us losers to a system that cannot and would not support you!

The Freedoms to be Lost

On the Forum page of the website www.pineconeconservatives.org I wrote about Norman Rockwell's four freedoms posters he painted at the height of WWII in 1943. I encourage you to read that page on the site because that is where we are organizing our thoughts and our actions.

On the BLOG today I want to write about the four freedoms we will loose in health care as it is written in House Bill 3200, that is also posted on the home page, under the tab House and Senate Bills.

The four freedoms we will loose that are spelled out in House Bill 3200 are:

Freedom of choosing what medical plan and what doctor is best for you.

Freedom from the rewards to living a healthy life; because under the community rating portion of the bill, you will be bunched in with people who do not live a healthy life style, and you will be funding their health care.

Freedom from the ability of choosing a high deductible for cost reduction.

Freedom of keeping your existing plan.

With each loss of freedom we loose our liberty. This is not American, this is not in our landscape of dialog and it is not in America's best interest!

A quote and a thought

Ronald Reagan said at meeting with The American Dental Association on October 28, 1972: " Government is too important to be left to those who are not too busy; the professionals who think government has some sort of divine right to tell people what is good for them"

We cannot accuse the President of not being busy. However, we can accuse him of not being professional and he does not have the divine right through bad legislation of telling us what to do.

The pending Health Care Bill 3200 is posted on the website www.pinconeconservatives.org , please go to the tab House and Senate Bills on the home page to read it. Then send your representatives in Congress and the Senate your thoughts on why it should be defeated. If you want to read my comments on this topic plus the Cambridge arrest please go to the Forum on the home page of the website.

He said everything but nothing

I am stunned at the Presidents News Conference on Health Care last night. He said everything but nothing!

He didn't say how much it would cost, except that it would cost something.

He didn't say what control we would have, except that government would somehow figure that out.

He didn't say how much privacy we would loose, except that our records would be posted on some sort of system.

He didn't say what country in the world would replace the best health care system in the world, except that delivery and quality of health care would remain the same for him because he has the best health care in the world as President. But it isn't about him.

We should not have confidence in the man at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He is setting us up for weakness as a nation because we will be competing in the lines for rationed health care!

To what end he is only concerned about himself and getting his own way. He said it last night" I think my idea is the best" He also said five days before he was elected " We are five days away from fundamentally Changing America" It is not the Presidents job to Change America. His job is to protect and defend The Constitution. In my opinion he is not capable of doing that.

It's all about him

The current debate on Health Care is all about Obama! His narcissism is getting in the way of reality, or he might never have been told NO as a child, either way it spells doom for the citizen.

Nancy Desmond the CEO of the Center for Health Transformation said, "unemployment will grow to 10%" and that there would be "no net new jobs for the next five years". This is an economic disaster, It's the economy stupid!

How can we trust a President when his own Vice President said we "mis-read the economy", we can't. So what we must look at is the only example of a State run medical insurance program in the Country - that's in Massachusetts. It is bankrupt and it is not working.

A government run health care program would guarantee two things:
1. Health Rationing because there would be no alternative to supplying fair and even coverage
2. Cost would keep growing because it is the nature of the disease, it's called liberalism and the
Democrat Party!

We will know in a few short days what the House will do. And you will know in a few short days what we as citizens can do to stop it!

OBAMACURE is the wrong one

If all the compasses in the group are pointing north to get you home, why then would you choose to go south?

This analogy is symptomatic of the Obama administrations process in decision making. This president is so concerned about doing big things that he is forgetting about the most important things. He is sacrificing all his political capital. This man is failing.

His pole numbers are falling and his leadership is now beginning to be questioned.

No doubt, what do we know about him? We don't have any college papers that we can review, his citizenship is now questioned because he cannot produce a legitimate birth certificate, he has another name on his school documents. Like his proposals we don't know much, we are just beginning to learn about the fine print on health care and that is why it is stalled.

We should not care if he "wants health care passed now." I think we need to know a lot more about this man before we sign onto anything else he wants!

3 words we are not useing in the health care debate

We will be discussing health care this week. There are three words that are not being used in this debate.

1. Conspiracy: Take a look at all those involved in the debate. Nancy Deparle the Health Care Czar has been paid $471.000.00 as a member of CERNER who will get the contract for supplying the equipment to manage our health care records. CERNER has already said that "they are well positioned to take advantage of OBAMA's push to modernize medical record for which 19 billion dollars have been allocated in the stimulus plan." In the least it is a conflict of interest and Ms. Deparle might not have conspired. However, these relationships do not occur overnight, so someone has conspired. The truth of the matter is 19 billion dollars is going to someone.

2. Oligarchy: Websters defines this word as" 1.government by the few 2. a government in which a Small group exercises control esp, for corrupt and selfish purposes" We are here with this Health Care proposal by our President. What happened to the words Protect and defend?

3. Access: We all have access to health Care even the illegals. What we need to do is take the restrictions out of COBRA and subsidise those payments for the unemployed. Improve medicare and medicaid by taking out the waste and prosecute those who commit the fraud. Change the paradigm of free health care and balance out equitable payments for it's delivery. Take out the trial lawyers and the cost of Doctors insurance comes down. Employ these tactics before anything else is done, these are minor adjustments that need to be done even with a government program start here first. Another positive with this plan - is it doesn't cost anything to employ.

It's Friday-now the quote

As promised we will end the week with a quote to start the dialog of the upcoming week.

Quoting Germany's 19th century "Iron Chancellor" Otto von Bismark at a campaign stop, Oklahoma City, June 4, 1976 Reagan said: " If you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made."

Be prepared Monday we will start the debate and explore how we can stop OBAMA care!

Have a great weekend.

The missing TERM

Today at the FORUM at pineconeconservatives.org I introduced a term that has not been discussed.
Let me start with the definition: 1. Government by the few. 2. A government in which a small group exercises control esp. for corrupt and selfish purposes; also a group exercising such control. The Websters Dictionary's definition of this word is OLIGARCHY!
Our Government with the advent of the bail outs, stimulus programs, Health Care, Cap and Trade - you name it, we have arrived at an OLIGARCHY.
Never in our history has the citizen been under such an assault. President Eisenhower warned us against the Military Industrial Complex, today I am warning against the Corporate Industrial Complex.
Start using the word oligarchy and the term Corporate Industrial Complex with friends, family and neighbors. The proof is now in front of us. GE, Goldman Sachs, the Automotive Companies are all now government controlled. Soon our Health Care will be controlled.
Wake up Americans there is no turning back when government takes control!

Today Al Franken spoke at the Sotomayor hearings. He spoke of the Perry Mason show and he thought it was neat that the the Judge watched this program and got her inspiration to be a judge from that program. Thank you Minnesota for sending Al Franken to the U.S. Senate you have done your part in preserving our greatness as a nation.

Obama, Franken and don't forget about Joe, we all need to take cover from this mess!

Nothing else to say today!

Polls: and why not to support the President

If we are conditioned to believe that polls really do tell the truth then look at these. Gallup is now saying that 69% of people are worried about governments increasing role in the economy. Rassmussen says that 46% to 41% of the voters reject Obama's budget. Nearly 2 to 1 of voters polled reject a 2nd stimulus. 45% of those polled do not have confidence in the economy.

Our President cannot hide any longer. This is his economy, this is his government and this is his free fall! We as citizens must galvanize and start seeing the forest through the trees. We are in real trouble when it comes to retaining the nation that we all love. We have real issues before us that government will not and cannot solve for us.

We must start demanding of our government to give us the control of our destiny. We should soundly reject any forthcoming 2nd stimulus. We should soundly reject any health care program. We should soundly reject any new program coming from the White House. Our President is not experienced enough to be trusted.

His narcistic views are for real his desire to reshape the economy and this country are real and his desire to make us economically even by redistribution of wealth is also real.

We need to pay attention to what is happening now. We need to take action now - and we need to soundly defeat the Progressive Liberal now and in 2010.

We will continue this tomorrow!

The Supreme Court nomination

Today an historic event is taking place in Washington D.C. Today Judge Sotomayor is attending her first day of senate hearings as a nominee for associate justice of the Supreme Court. While we listen to the partisanship we should be considering a few things.

What did the judge mean when she said "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life" and secondly what did she mean when she said "the appellate court's are where policy is made" These are two striking comments and they go to the heart and soul of the nominee and of the President who nominated this person.

We should celebrate her accomplishments because they represent the American story. However, the American story that we all look for will change if she is nominated. This candidate would not bring the balance that is needed in the court. This nomination would not strengthen the court but weaken it by bringing in empathy, a code word for a different approach to the law. Both the President and the nominee has used this term. She has also used words like inherent,physiological or cultural differences.

The hypocrisy is that if a white male used these words - that white male would have been dismissed long ago. Wise up people this is just another attempt to dumb the country down and move further left with the highest court in the land.

There seems to be a certain narcissism in this nomination. We have put aside the racial question as voters by electing the Nation's first Black President. But the President has not put his racial question's aside because of this nomination.

The court was designed to be impartial it was designed to be the final arbiter in constitutional issues and matters. How can we be satisfied that this nominee will apply the law fairly? We cannot be totally satisfied because we know at the end of the day there will be a case that will fall in front of her that requires her impartial application of the law. From what we have seen so far in her 17 years as a judge the most publicized decisions have been overturned because of the lack of impartiality.

This is the new normal that we are forced to live with. Our lives, the fairness the equal application of law to all citizens will suffer because of the narcissism of the President and this nominee.

At the end of the day the President gets his legacy, the Judge gets a spot to move her leftist agenda and the Democrats get to placate to another minority group. And what does America as a whole get - just another assault from the elite social class. And the groups who really need the help well lets just say they are still there with no representation from those who say they have their best interest in mind.

Tomorrow we will discuss the 2nd amendmant and the Judge.

Voice your opinion and write your senator about your concerns!

Quote of the Day

I welcome the close of the first week of operations at Pine cone Conservatives.

I will be updating you with stats on new members signing on. We will continue to improve the service and dig deeper into the topics of the day. Our goal is to give you pertinent information and accurate talking points on the topics in the news.

On Fridays I will be quoting notable sources and great Americans. The purpose of this is to get us thinking and preparing ourselves for the upcoming week. What better way to do this than to consider words of history!

Today I am ending the week with Ronald Reagan and his thoughts about the Supreme Court; He said in his memoirs, An American life, 1990: " The only litmus test I wanted ... was the assurance of a judge's honesty and integrity.... I wanted judges who would interpret the Constitution, not try to rewrite it".

We will be discussing the Supreme Court and the hearings on Monday.

Until then have a great week end!

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Today we will talk about the NEW NORMAL:

The new normal is the governemnt is printing money we don't have 300 billion dollars to be exact. Starting today, going forward the goverenment will borrow money each day just to stay open for business.

The new normal is this president has spent more money in 7 months than all the presidents put together.

The new normal is a stimulus program that is not working

The new normal is 6.88 million people are out of work, this does not include the people that have fallen off the unemployment roles.

The new normal is 9.5% unemployment it will go to 10% in less than a month form now!

The new normal is in a new report released today said that Blue States That supported OBAMA recieved $69.00 per person in stimulus funds. While Red States that supported Mc CAIN recieved $34.00 per person in stimulus funds.

The new normal is Our President is bankrupting this country and is breaking the system so that all we will have left is the government. This is how Socialism works and this is how it rears it awful head.

People it is time to stand up and let your representatives know you are not going to put up with this any longer. YOUR POLITICIAN LIVES TO VOTE - BUT THEY LIVE BY YOUR VOTE!

Tell your representatives you cannot afford the tax's on helthcare and you cannot afford to jeopardize your families security over the scam of CAP and TRADE. Just tell them the new normal is not working for you!

If you like the new normal then don't do a thing, if you don't like the new normal like high employment, governemnt spending and government dictates, then get active become a patriot and get these socialist out of office.

Start now for the 2010 mid term elections!

Well, President Obama is at the G8 economic summit, the other foriegn leaders are showing great concern about the spending in the USA. IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH the President is talking about another stimulus. We have already had one and it has not worked. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting a different result.

The money that has been allocated for the first stimulus has not been fully released, only 10% of it has. The esitimate is that by years end onother 10% will be released. The rest of the funds will not be released until the end of 2011.

The stimulus is not stimulating anything, except more of the same government waste growth in government and waste of precious time with the American Family taking the brunt of the negative stimulus that is occuring.

Mr. Obama - Reagan said trust but verify, America we have a President and a Congress that we cannot trust and that we can not verify!!!!

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

We must start paying attention to the Cap and Trade debate going on in washingtion D.C.. This bill that was passed in the House and is now making it's way to the Senate must become DOA. Clinton passed similar legislation called the BTU tax. Go back and research what that was all about and you will begin to relize the danger of this bill.

Each notable person who wants to pass this bill rejects Nuclear Power, which is clean and efficient. This bill is nothing more than a tax on energy consumption coal and gas . Someone will get rich off selling carbon credits. India and China say no to this type of legislation in their own country because they know it will make them non competitive.

Write or call your U.S. Senator ask for the current information before them now or a copy of the passed house bill - review it and tell them to vote NO! If you don't your government will grow and be knocking on your front door with a bill of around $3,500.00 per house hold to start!

More on this soon!

Obama in Russia

As President Obama continues his world tour in Moscow today, a few thoughts come to mind. The Russians are still our adversary, we must maintain a strong profile with respect and projection of how the Russians will fear the U.S. As Obama stands in the "Majestic Hall" as he puts it, he is continuing the Eastern establishment foriegn policy failures of the 60's by the elitist's, that gave way to the foriegn policy issues that Reagan had to cure in his presidency.

Today he is discussing Russian and American relationships. Obama said it is time to "reset the relationship" - while he is discussing missle defense. We need our feared defense and Eastern Europe needs the shield that only The United States can give. It goes hand in hand with spreading democracy.

I fear that Obama's lack of experience will give rise to a new Russian push of regaining the lost Eastern Block of Europe and its lost stature from the Reagan and Bush year's (41 and 43). I hope that I am wrong!!!!

President OBAMA we want nothing short of success with dealing with Russia - we do not want to give rise to a Russian profile of strength. What ever deal you make remember you must understand what Reagan meant by "TRUST AND VERIFY". Any thing short will be a failure!

I welcome your comments,
