Like Your Doctor?

Too bad, because you won't be keeping him under Obama's plan

On Wednesday ABC will participate in the one of the biggest scams perpetrated on the American people. Broadcasting from the White House, and without any dissenting opinions, Obama will drag out his well-worn phrases designed to scare the public into his health care Utopia.

No doubt Tiny Tim's crutches will be hanging next to the fireplace and we will hear from the people who have suffered greatly under this mean old system we have now.

How many times in the past few weeks have you heard these phrases?

1. When it comes to the cost of our health care, then, the status quo is unsustainable. So reform is not a luxury; it is a necessity
2. 46 million Americans are without health insurance
3. If we don't do something (anything) right now, it will never get done
4. It is a CRISIS
5. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.
6. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period.
7. Make no mistake: the cost of our health care is a threat to our economy
8. Our costly health care system is unsustainable
9. To say it as plainly as I can, health care reform is the single most important thing we can do for America’s long-term fiscal health

Wes Vernon explores some of these lies.

..."Single payer" sounds so nice and warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? How about "single-regulator?", "single dictator?", "single judge" as to whose life is worth saving?, or "single decider" — not as to whether health care will be rationed, but how to apply it without arousing the anger of the great unwashed until it's a done deal?" the whole article is well worth a read

Listen to how many of these things will be said on Wednesday when the state-run media presents Obama's prescription for health care. I also recommend you don't bend over.

Is Obama a Sociopath?

It is time to realize you are not dealing with a "normal" person. Keep in mind when you sit around the dining room table trying to figure out what drives Obama, he is not like you and me.

This man is a narcissist of the highest order, and will do anything to get his way. He will demonize and crush his opponents, and that includes any of the tax weary public who dares to disagree with any of his rhetoric.

From Dr. Sanity:

Far too often, narcissistically flawed individuals are hopelessly attracted by the grandiose opportunities of the political arena (as well as the Hollywood arena) like moths to a flame. Their sense of self is starkly invested in the desire for power over others (always, of course, "for their own good") , constant admiration and adulation and grandiose ambitions. This makes them remarkably adept at the politics of personal destruction--particularly when you are a devoted fan of the teachings of a radical organizer whose philosophy demanded that you: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” read the rest at Dr. Sanity

I will go one step further than calling him a narcissist by adding on sociopath. Want to know if you're dealing with a sociopath? Ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you often feel used by the person?
2. Have you often felt that he (or she) doesn't care about you?
3. Does he lie and deceive you?
4. Does he tend to make contradictory statements?
5. Does he tend to take from you and not give back much?
6. Does he often appeal to pity?
   
7. Does he seem to try to make you feel sorry for him?
   
8. Does he try to make you feel guilty?
9. Do you sometimes feel he is taking advantage of your good nature?
10. Does he seem easily bored and need constant stimulation?
11. Does he use a lot of flattery? Does he interact with you in a way that makes you feel flattered even if he says nothing overtly complimentary?
12. Does he make you feel worried? Does he do it obviously or more cleverly and sneakily?
13. Does he give you the impression you owe him?
14. Does he chronically fail to take responsibility for harming others? Does he blame everyone and everything but himself?

Some key traits of a sociopath:
• Glib and superficial
• Egocentric and grandiose
• Lack of remorse or guilt
• Lack of empathy
• Deceitful and manipulative
• Shallow emotions

I'd say the above represents our current president pretty dang well....

How Gem of the Ocean celebrated Earth Day:

"I celebrated Earth Day by renting a humvee and driving all over town, left the lights on, and told people they shouldn't be out shopping, but home, making more babies!"

From St. Monica's Kneeler:

"It's funny how you get to a point where you are all "fat and happy" with yourself, your spiritual life, and God is there where you want Him. It's also funny how God doesn't let you stay in this stage with your usual comfort food, essentially boxing Him in, but prompts you to move along." read the rest
