    Gosh, it's been a while! So much is going on in the world! Some evenings I wonder if there will be a tomorrow, and not so much that someone will nuked us, but more like, will I wake up to a free America?

    The health care issue still is hot and not cooling down...For some unwarranted reasons the Democrats are really trying hard to jam this thing the collective throats of the American people.
    Poll after poll says that Americans are happy with what they have, a few twicks are needed to make it better, but in the end, but don't want the government intruding into their most personal lives, their health. Obama, and the democrats aren't listening, they are full speed ahead.
    A few bumps here and there, but they regain steam and plow ahead...You wonder what crude fell in their ears, which is keeping them from hearing the American people.

    If by chance this Health care Bill is passed thru reconciliation, I worry that not only will it spiral the economy out of control, but that there will be a revolt...People are pretty upset!

    I keep hearing that if we don't pass this bill, people are gonna die, the country is gonna go broke.
    They also tell me that other countries spend less money per-person then the USA and that other countries have better health care then we do. But if they have better health care, why do they come here by the droves? Everyone has stats to show and tell, everyone has crunched the numbers on both sides. I googled the populations of the United States, Canada and England.
    By far the U.S has more people then the other two countries. The U. S. spends $7,300 per person, per year. Nearly 2.5 times the average for developed countries which is $2,964.
    The Canadians and the English like their health care better then the U.S. Though I think they never poll the right people. LOL!!!

    I am not an economist, good God, I am lucky I can figure out my check book! But if you were asking me, and no one is. I would say that subtract all the waste, all the fraud, all the malpractice lawsuits, and you could wipe aways a few grands off that 7,300. If I were to sit and figure out where most of my money goes, besides bills, it would be eating out and Walmart, and the bookstore with an occasional shopping spree at the Lamp working sites or stores in the area.
    That would save me big time dollars, especially on the dinning out.
    We keep hearing about the waste and the fraud...and the government not being adapt at keeping both under control wants to manage the health care for 300+million people...Is there something wrong with this picture? That's like getting Acorn to manage the treasury, we'd have some major issues real soon if that happened!

    The president lies, congress lies, everyone lies...You don't know who to believe....There are talking heads on the radio and on T.V. everyday, all giving you their spin. Whom do you believe.
    Certainly not the politicians, and the m.s.m is not telling...they are the cheerleader for the administration and it is in their DNA to make this work for this guy, come hell or high water, damned be the people. Kind of sad I think, but who cares what I think, right?

    It isn't even worth turning on the t.v. at night, or during the day, because it is the same thing.
    Recently the History Channel has been running hours of "end of day" shows. It sure does seem like it, that we are getting close to the end. I myself don't really want it to happen. I'd like to live till I'm in my 80's...I'd like to do a little more traveling, a little more living. I am on my second year of retirement, and I'd like to see more of it. Not that I don't want to see Jesus come back to earth, that would be pretty cool, but I'd like to live life a little longer....Jesus has waited two thousand years, what's a few more years for him? I mean no disrespect against Jesus, but I guess I am selfish! Seems that blowing the world back to the stone age is not something I want to experience now ore ever...nor is being rounded up like some poor soul and killed for my religious beliefs! Heard about the coffins, the detention centers, the job wanted-ads for security personal? It is dam scary....I understand the world has been very bad and we are too meet our maker. Armageddon, always a scary thought!

    So, as the month of Sept. comes to an end, we sit and wait for the ax to fall. Obama has made the run of the Media outlets....the same speech, the same game, gotta pass it now, gotta do it now, the country is going to go broke, the people are dying! Well, gee Mr. Obama, people have been dying since the beginning of time and the country has been broke since you took office, actually it is already broke, we are just living on printed money!

    I love my country, I live in the best place in the world...I don't ever remember going hungry, even when we were kids and there was little money, somehow we always managed to get by and if it was a tortilla and a bowl of beans we ate. We rarely got sick and if we did, we first were taken to the local currandera and she made a tea or a potion to rub on our hurt, and if it couldn't be fixed, my parents would take us to the local doctor and he would give us a bottle of some horrible tasting medicine and my parents would make payments on the doctor visit. We weren't sick often, we pretty health kids, no broken bones, no tonsils, or worse afflicted us. Spouse likes to say it was because we drank lots of milk and our parents let us play in the dirt and we ran the neighborhood barefooted and wild, he neighbors looked out for us and we ate lots of beans, potatoes, eggs and tortillas....the food of the Gods!

    Tomorrow is not guaranteed, never has been....but I do know that whatever happens, Americans will not go down without fighting.....They say that a giant has been awoken, and it is true, millions of people that have sat and watched the world pass their windows, have woken up and taken to the streets, the Internet, and have stated their opposition to big government, to govt. taking over....If you want to live free, be free as the fathers of this country intended this country to be, we have to speak up, we have to march, and maybe we even have to die for that freedom.

    "Freedom isn't free," and it is for own good if we never forget that. I hope to wake up to a free America for many years...I hope that the nightmare that we have brought upon ourselves passes quickly, and that we never ever take our freedoms for granted or ever be fooled by the words of men who mean to do us harm..! It would be a real injustice for America to brought down from within, then by some foreign tyrant....I remember back in middle school reading something about that happening and thinking, 'no way', but it seems to be happening now....How can anyone who loves freedom, do this to this country? I guess I live in a bubble surrounded by people that think no one, not even an American would hurt this country, or hate this country, but I guess there are people that do hate this country and want to bring her down....

    God bless this great nation and may He always embrace us with his loving arms.
