No, I’m not talking about 2012 and some crackpot Mayan predicted apocalypse, I’m talking about something much more sinister and much more real. An apocalypse brought about by what Barry is attempting to do to our country. However, the outcome of Barry’s is very likely to have strikingly similar consequences for us as the one predicted by the Mayan’s, but on an economic scale. Because when you combine what he has already managed to do our economy to what he is now trying to do to our healthcare system, we may be very near to the potential demise of our Republic, at least as we have come to know it. And with Nancy now having been successful, with a little strong arm assistance from Barry, at shoving through the House the most radical and fundamental change to how this nation addresses the healthcare of its citizens, Democrats are moving as rapidly as possible toward the most bodacious governmental power grab in our nation’s history. What was accomplished last Saturday night was a willful and blatant disregard for the will of the American people. That’s when we had a vote take place where 220 "servants of the people" made a conscious decision to ignore the wishes and desires of those whom they are supposed to be working for, not against. It’s as if this summer’s Townhall Meetings never took place and those millions of people never showed up in Washington to protest this pathetic attempt to steal power from we the people. It would seem that the philosophy currently being adhered to in our nation’s capital today, is one where those in Congress, and in the White House as well, are working to move this country as sharply as possible to the left, the will of the people be damned. These political elitists are striving for nothing more than to expand the power of government at the expense of our individualism, our power to make personal decisions for ourselves and of our FREEDOM. The assault on freedom currently underway against this country should be obvious to all, even the "Hope and Change" crowd. And all told, I think it is very safe to say that our democracy is, quite literally, hanging by a very thin thread. Now you may ask, exactly, is it that Barry was able to provide some much-needed assistance to Ms. Nancy "Botox" Pelosi in her attempt to pass this freedom-killing piece of legislation?

Here are the deals made by Barry in his all out offensive in his effort to buy support for his "reform" plan:

* The American Medical Association (AMA) was facing a 21 percent cut in physicians' reimbursements under the current law. Obama promised to kill the cut if they backed his bill. The cuts are the fruit of a law requiring annual 5 percent to 6 percent reductions in doctor reimbursements for treating Medicare patients. Bravely, each year Congress has rolled the cuts over, suspending them but not repealing them. So each year, the accumulated cuts threaten doctors. By now, they have risen to 21 percent. With this blackmail leverage, Obama compelled the AMA to support his bill...or else!

* The AARP got a financial windfall in return for its support of the healthcare bill. Over the past decade, the AARP has morphed from an advocacy group to an insurance company (through its subsidiary company). It is one of the main suppliers of Medi-gap insurance, a high-cost, privately purchased coverage that picks up where Medicare leaves off. But President Bush-43 passed the Medicare Advantage program, which offered a subsidized, lower-cost alternative to Medi-gap. Under Medicare Advantage, the elderly get all the extra coverage they need plus coordinated, well-managed care, usually by the same physician. So more than 10 million seniors went with Medicare Advantage, cutting into AARP Medi-gap revenues.

Presto! Obama solved their problem. He eliminates subsidies for Medicare Advantage. The elderly will have to pay more for coverage under Medigap, but the AARP -- which supposedly represents them -- will make more money.

* The drug industry backed ObamaCare and, in return, got a 10-year limit of $80 billion on cuts in prescription drug costs. (A drop in the bucket of their almost $3 trillion projected cost over the next decade.) They also got administration assurances that it will continue to bar lower-cost Canadian drugs from coming into the U.S. All it had to do was put its formidable advertising budget at the disposal of the administration.

* Insurance companies got access to 40 million potential new customers. But when the Senate Finance Committee lowered the fine that would be imposed on those who don't buy insurance from $3,500 to $1,500, the insurance companies jumped ship and now oppose the bill, albeit for the worst of motives.

* The only industry that refused to knuckle under was the medical device makers. They stood for principle and wouldn't go along with Obama's blackmail. So the Senate Finance Committee retaliated by imposing a tax on medical devices such as automated wheelchairs, pacemakers, arterial stents, prosthetic limbs, artificial knees and hips and other necessary accoutrements of healthcare.

So as you can plainly see, these endorsements were not freely given, but bought and paid for by an administration that is intent on passing its program at absolutely any cost.

So in the Senate it’s now all up Dingy Harry Reid. If you go strictly by the numbers Dingy should have all the votes necessary to successfully pass this "reform", that is of course if all of the Democrats decide to hang together. If so, they will then have been successful in their attempt to take over one/sixth of our total economy enabling them to complete their goal toward the tightening up of their control over the American people. A recent poll revealed that a combined total of 72 percent of the American people want either for there to be some sort of varying degrees of changes to be made to this so-called "reform" of Nancy’s, or are in favor of having the whole plan scrubbed entirely. Only 26 percent of those polled would like to see Nancy’s abomination actually signed into law by Barry "Almighty". I guess two percent of us are completely clueless about the entire thing.

Ya know what really gets me is how the Democrats love to preach to us about how it is they and they alone who are out there doing battle and striving to help out working Americans. And yet, the current example of supposed healthcare "reform" is just the most recent example of how they are out to screw over that very same block of individuals by simply ignoring what it is these folks have to say about opposing any increasing of government involvement in their healthcare. That’s because the Democrats’ overriding concern here is much less about the reforming of our healthcare system and much more about the extending of governmental power into the most personal aspect of our personal lives. It is strikingly similar to Barry’s $780 Billion faux "stimulus" package that was passed, the purpose of which was so far removed from actually "stimulating" our economy, as recent evidence clearly demonstrates with our present 10.2 percent unemployment rate. Barry promised, PROMISED, that if we bought into his and his "brilliant" economic team’s plan for the "stimulus", unemployment would not increase above 8 percent. Plain and simple, HE LIED!!! I think we can now safely call this much-hyped "stimulus" package a flop, at least as far as what Barry claimed as its specific purpose. But what it has been is a spectacular success at what it was specifically designed to do by Barry and his economic "team", that being to drive our economy smack into the ditch. And it would appear, if a recent poll is anywhere near being correct, that a majority of Americans would agree. Because we now know that 66 percent of Americans view the "stimulus" as falling far short of what Barry promised that it would accomplish. And if he lied about that why should we think that he is not lying about his plan for "reforming" our healthcare system. If Barry is nothing else, he is a very skillful liar.

So, with this bogus healthcare "reform" now staring us right in the face, and Barry making some very outlandish promises and false claims about it, why should we expect any different of an outcome than what we got from his "stimulus" package. The truth is, we shouldn’t! Because to expect any different of an outcome is to be naïve at best and at worst, downright moronic. To see just how expertly and deftly the government is able to manage anything one need look no further than to see how smoothly and cost effectively it runs the Post Office, Social Security, Medicare or any number of other big budget programs that it has its fingers in. For anyone to blindly put their trust in the government to run anything, especially something as important to each and every one of us as our individual healthcare is just too amazing to believe. Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Is that what’s going on here, are we all watching Barry and the Democrats as they do the same things over and over again while thinking that somehow, one of these times it’s actually going to work?

So where this attempt at healthcare "reform" goes from here pretty much all boils down to what happens in that most auspicious of bodies made up of those most stellar of individuals, the U.S. Senate. Boy, now doesn’t that just give you that warm and fuzzy feeling all over. To have the likes of Dingy Harry Reid, Little "Dickie" Durbin, Chuckie Schumer and John Kerry Heinz to name just a few, now in the position of deciding the future of how we will be able to obtain our healthcare is more than a little frightening. Are we really prepared for the reality of having our healthcare move at the speed of government?

I think it is safe to say that we have now arrived at a point in time where can safely make the claim that the Democrats are officially now, completely out of control. Just look at the carnage that they have already wrought upon our economy, our foreign policy as well as on our ability to fight the War on Terror, these days known as an Overseas Contingency Operation, all in the span of a mere 10 short months, or roughly 300 days. It is truly unbelievable that anyone who calls themselves an American would continue to tolerate this assault on freedom and dogged determination at the undermining of America. An the clincher here is that now after 3 months have elapsed since General McChrystal initially made his formal request for 40,000 additional troops in Afghanistan Barry appears to be no closer to making a decision than he was when the initial request was made. Hey Barry, this isn’t exactly the type of situation where you can simply get by with your habit of voting present. It’s decision time, time to sh*t or get off the pot! I guess I was totally unaware of Barry’s abilities as a military tactician. SILLY FREAKIN ME! Adding insult to injury, how is it that we can have an obvious terrorist attack on an Army base right here in this country and have as president a pathetic individual who does not have the gonads to call it what it is. A TERRORIST ATTACK!! It’s past time for our Supreme Leader, Barry "Almighty" to reel in his out of control ego and start doing that which he was hired to do, protect this country, militarily as well as economically and forget about all this ridiculous political correctness and diversity crap. HEY BARRY, PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY YOU A**HOLE! JUST WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAY?
