I am against Obamacare

I am NOT against health care reform!

STOP thinking that if I am against this bill that I want cancer-ridden children to die a long, painful death!

I want a plan that will change the problems and leave what is working ALONE. Don't make me pay more because someone is too lazy to get off their big fat butt to do SOMETHING to pay their OWN way.

Don't tax ME because I already pay HIGH premiums for the insurance we now have!

I am not un-Christian because I feel this way! Jesus was NOT a socialist! He gave directly to the needy. He did not need to go through the government. It is not the responsibility of the government!

AAAARRRGGGHHH!

When did Americans become stupid and helpless?

When did we decide it was safe to trust Washington? While we were sleeping, the foxes got into the henhouse, attacked the chickens and ate all the eggs.

The crazy part is, we have been paying these raiding politicians’ exorbitant salaries with our hard-earned money. At least they left poop for us to clean up! Cool!

The president and our politicians keep calling us stupid, and we smile and nod. Nancy Pelosi said, “We need to pass the health care bill so you can find out what is in it.”

Passing legislation is supposed to be like opening a gift? This bill is reportedly nearing 3,000 pages. But it doesn’t matter that the people voting won’t have time to read it. They don’t need to read it, analyze it, or consult with constituents.

Rep. John Conyers (MI) mocked those who wanted him to read H.R. 3200 before voting for it. “I love these members that get up and say, ‘Read the bill!’ What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages, and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?” I don’t know why you’d want to read a legal, binding document that affects millions of people before you sign it!

We don’t need to read the bill before it is passed. Shhh — go back to sleep. Why would I want my representatives to come home and talk to me face to face about this bill? Senator Cardin held two town hall meetings last August. Sen. Mikulski broke her ankle about that time, so she didn’t hold any. Compare that to Rep. Paul Ryan (WI) who held 17 meetings in five days, Ambien, anyone?

President Obama said everything will be ok. Just relax, go back to sleep, and have sweet dreams. President Obama stated, “A big part of our campaign was about changing the way Washington works.” Twisting arms, making bribes, threats and closed-door deals to pass a bill are just the NEW way things get done. What happened to putting these meetings on C-SPAN?

This bill will make health care fair for everyone, wink, wink. Don’t worry about fairness for people paying high premiums for their insurance when everyone gets the same coverage, though.

Medicare is a great example of how the President’s plan will work. In 2009, Medicare spent $462 billion to care for 45.2 million people — an average of $102,212 PER PERSON. Last year, the cost of health care for my family of four — including the employer’s part, premiums, medications, a week’s hospital stay and a newly-diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetic — was under $42,000. But it’s ok, Stupid.

The president has set a deadline for the passing of this bill; everything in it must be really great. But if this bill is so great for health care, why is a provision being added to control college loans? No public or private companies will be able to offer loans or grants to students.

This bill isn’t about health care. It’s about the government controlling every area of our lives that we relinquish. Do we really want the government dictating to us the specifics of our health care? They’ve already done a phenomenal job. Smile, and nod, Dummy.

Wake up, friends! We are not stupid or helpless! We have our families, each other, and most importantly, we have God. We need to see the grappling hooks on our end of the strings attached to the federal government handouts.

Life ISN'T Fair!

Isn't that what we were told from the time we were little? When we were big enough to demand that we be given what the other guy had, isn't that what our parents said?

And yet, here we are, full-grown adults. Congress is trying to tell us that everything has to be fair.

Health care and insurance must be offered to everyone. And it must be fair.

Jobs must be available to everyone. Again, it must be fair.

Oil companies and insurance companies cannot make too much of a profit over their investment. That's not fair to small business owners who don't see that kind of return. It's not fair.

Well, Congress. Here's something I've learned the hard way:

LIFE'S NOT FAIR!

Ask my six year old son who has Type 1 Diabetes. He has to poke his finger 5 times a day. And he has to get at least 4 shots of insulin a day. He can tell you life isn't fair.

If my husband works hard at a job that offers a great insurance policy, and we pay high premiums for said policy, it's TOO BAD IF IT'S NOT FAIR TO ANYONE ELSE!

LIFE'S NOT FAIR!

Quit trying to make it fair. In your attempt to make it fair, you are being unfair to those who are EARNING what they RECEIVE!

Stay out of my insurance! My son's life depends on it!

I don't get it

Why do people laugh when I say this is the year I am losing weight?

Some joke.

Computer updates

BURN ME UP.

Page set ups - different.

Toolbars - different.

Desktop tools - different.

Notepad on desktop with notes - gone.

Preset passwords to sites - gone.

1/2 the church cookbook I had entered - GONE.

I am in a completely FOUL mood.

Thankful that my husband restored the file. That helped in many ways.

Impeach every single one!

Every single Congressman who voted in favor of today's health care power trip needs to be impeached. There is no way each one read every single page, comprehended it, studied it, and consulted with their constituents on it. And then last night, they were given 500 pages of amendments!

I am so sick of them all.

Manufactured Protests

It is unwise for the administration to label people attending Town Hall meetings. It is surprising that the administration can't discern the difference between sincerely angry constituents and planted rabble-rousers with a political agenda. Seeing that as a community organizer, our president rounded up and sent out mobs to "get in the faces" of republicans during elections.

Spiritually Infantile

So I have a lady from our former church who is a friend on FB. She, in turn, is friends with her pastor and his wife. They, for whatever reason, have completely blocked me. I can't see their comments on her pictures and posts; I can't even bring their profile up if I search for them.

I know I don't want to see them or read their posts anyway, but that is just completely ignorant. I'm just so glad they are so close to Jesus that they are so superior.

To quote my kids' favorite VBS song: "Whatever!"

Inborn? I doubt it

Just reading a popular magazine that I check out online sometimes. One of the headlines read, "These celebrity kids prove that a flare for fashion is in their genes."

Baaaalooooney! It proves that their parents shop for expensive clothes, and dress their kids in the latest trends. That's what it proves!

I think my kids look nice, too. And I am sure I spend a fraction of what they do.

Delayed apologies

It makes me angry when people wait to apologize until the very last minute, when the only reason for apologizing is to save face.

Dr. Gates sent flowers and a note to the lady who called the police when she thought someone was breaking into his house. If it HAD been a break-in, wouldn't he have appreciated her involvment? And where are the flowers to the police who responded so quickly?

This guy is just an arrogant, racist jerk. And the president is just like him.

Inattentive babysitting

My daughter is a brat. I love her dearly, but she is definitely going through a bratty stage. I had to take my son to the endocrinologist an hour and a half away, and I expected he'd have to have labs done. There was little chance I was taking both of them with the way she's been behaving lately. So Grandma & Granddad agreed to watch her. Or should I say, they agreed to let her stay at the lake house for the day.

I heard stories when I returned that were very disconcerting, but the one that makes me the most upset? How Grandma was sitting on the porch facing the road talking to a neighbor, and the neighbor asked Grandma if she had a little one for the day. Baby was peeking around the corner of the porch. She had come down stairs, out the door onto the porch FACING THE LAKE, and walked around the side of the house!

Granddad hadn't heard her, and Grandma was not where she COULD hear her. And there were a couple other stories of how Baby was able to go outside or inside without them knowing. So now I need to find a reliable babysitter, or I need to never go anywhere without my children again.

He's got audacity, all right!

How dare any politician vote for a bill he or she did not read completely. I don't care if you have to have an aide help you understand some of the more technical, legal stuff! READ THE COTTON-PICKING BILL! (Pinhead!)

If you dare to vote for a bill you have not read, you should be kicked in the seat of the pants right down the front steps of the Capitol Building!

If you vote for a bill against the wishes of your constituents, BE PREPARED! Many of you are up for re-election next year!

How dare any politician accept a pay raise in this economy?!

How dare any politician write off any extravagance as a business expense in this economy?!

How dare the wife of the president of the United States of America hire 13 staff people to work FOR HER! I don't CARE how many people Laura Bush employed! We are supposed to be in the middle of an economic disaster!

If government officials would ACT like we're in a recession, people might not be so opposed to being asked or required to tighten OUR belts!

HOW DARE OUR PRESIDENT PUSH CONGRESS TO PASS A BILL IN LESS TIME THAN IT TOOK HIM TO PICK A DOG FOR HIS CHILDREN!!!!

Delegating to Duds

Planning for VBS has been in the works for a couple months now. In the course of time, I have given up control of a number of things. I gave one of the ladies a list of the foods for each night. Another lady said she'd call some of the pizza places to see if they would donate pizza for one night. She also said she knew someone with puppets and she'd take care of borrowing some.

Another lady (new) said she'd buy the chicken nuggets at a discount place. All the teachers were asked to read the book of Jonah and look through their lessons. The director said he'd take care of organizing for the puppet shows each night. And the new lady took the worksheets, name tags, crafts, registration signs, etc.

Since VBS is for 3 days - T, W, TH - we figured Monday night would be a good time to meet and get things finalized.

I saw the "food lady" between SS and church, and asked her how we were doing on donated food items. "I have no idea. All I have is a list of the meals."

Today after the morning service, we met briefly to run through some last minute things.

Someone mentioned food, and again, the food lady said she had no idea, but listed the food items. She said that the one lady was supposed to line up the pizzas. Pizza lady said, "WHAT?" I must have hung my head or looked exasperated, b/c the pastor assured me it would be taken care of.

The new lady has the nuggets already, so we'll do that Tuesday night. She also has all the other things taken care of.

The puppets just got here this week. The director is just meeting tonight with the teens doing the puppet show. In 2 days. He's had the final script for 2 weeks now.

All the teachers have looked over their lessons and have read the book of Jonah. Except for one - the pastor.

The bulletin announced that people should meet at the church at 6 pm to go out handing out flyers. Flyers that were printed a month ago.

I could just scream. But I am putting my head down and plowing through my last minute responsibilities.

I think next year should be a one day VBS, and I will schedule my yearly gyn. exam, a dentist appointment and a mammogram that day if we can't run out of town.

Judge not...

I know Scripture says, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Matthew 7:1

I get so tired of people running around, telling people, "Judge not! Judge not!"

Finish the passage, people.

This is an exerpt of IVP New Testament Commentaries - it says what I think.

Even if we knew people's hearts, we could not evaluate degrees of personal guilt as if we understood all the genetic and social influences that combine with personal sinful choices in making some people more vulnerable to particular temptations (such as alcohol or spouse abuse) than others. Most important, Jesus warns us that even if we knew people's hearts, we would be in no position to judge unless we had lived sinless lives, never needing God's forgiveness (vv. 3-5; compare 6:12, 14-15).

Many people have ripped this passage out of context, however. Jesus warns us not to assume God's prerogative to condemn the guilty; he is not warning us not to discern truth from error (see 7:15-23). Further, Jesus does not oppose offering correction, but only offering correction in the wrong spirit (v. 5; compare 18:15-17; Gal 6:1-5).

When I see or point out an obvious problem (or even one that isn't so obvious) I am not judging - it's called discernment! If I try to fill in their motives or if I decide what their punishment should be - that is what I call judging.

I feel like smacking someone when I hear them saying, "Judge not..."

Ugh.

Poor loser

Me. I'm a poor loser. I might not pout, I might not verbally complain, but inside I get pretty twisted up. If you know me well, and you look deep into my eyes, you'll recognize the smoldering that is going on way down deep.

I entered a writing contest, and told myself there was no real chance I'd win. But I guess in the back of my mind, I thought I did a pretty good job.

The speech that won. Hmm. It was VERBOSE. Verbose, ad nauseum. Over the top. Seriously?

Stink. If I had known they wanted something like THAT... And the honorable mention was just ok in my mind. But what do I know?

I get irritated with people who use the English language like that. Speak clearly, concisely, passionately. But don't use a thesaurus to look up some multi-syllable word for every other word in your essay. And don't reward dorks who do.

Bi-partisan, my big fat batootie.

I watched about 10 minutes of President Obama's speech in the online townhall on Health Care Reform. And I had to turn off the TV. I wanted to find a huge pillow to scream into, but I was afraid my kids would "freak out" (in the words of my 3 1/2 year old daughter).

He went through his proposal, assuring everyone that he did not intend to take over the health care industry. Hmm. Where have we heard THOSE words before? OH YEAH. When he was talking about the automobile industry! And look how that turned out.

He promised that by taking away money the government pays to insurance companies, and by taking away certain tax exemptions to the top 2% of Americans, the cost of his proposals could be completely covered. He promised that changes would take place THIS YEAR.

And then it started. "Already the nay-sayers are lining up with every negative criticism in the book. Blah blah blah. But where are their solutions?"

I wanted to jump up and down, scream and pull out my hair! There are several valid proposals written by the Republicans that would not require the government to spend ANY money, but the Dems refuse to acknowledge them, much less read them, much less consider them!! But the general American public will never hear about them, because the president does not want to do anything that would make sense! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!

I had to turn it off. I had to. I walked out of the room, and watched the Jetsons with my children. My blood pressure is slowly returning to normal. The throbbing in my head continues. How much longer can we take it? Everything is a crisis; everything must be addressed RIGHT NOW. We cannot take time to analyze, discuss, or debate the legislation. We cannot even take time to read the legislation. We must push it through before we go on vacation. We must do it now. Anyone who disagrees is a nay-sayer who needs to be steamrolled FOR HAVING A BRAIN!

We, THE PEOPLE

When the people elected to Congress choose to believe a lie and tax the snot out of the average American, and refuse to hear the outcry of THE PEOPLE, that Congress must GO.

If we don't rise up next year and take back the House and the Senate, our country will not survive another 3 years of Pinocchiosie and Nobama.

The behind-the-scenes doings must be REALLY scary if the issues that are seen are as radical as they are.
