The Republicans are trying to start a Civil War/A open letter to the tea party movement and Sarah Palin

May the conscience and the common sense of the peoples be awakened, so that we may reach a new stage in the life of nations, where people will look back on war as an incomprehensible aberration of their forefathers!

Truth Rant
By Faith-R-Michaels

The Republicans are trying to capitalize on the growing anti-government sentiment by aligning themselves with those who they feel are their best chance for being elected..Yes we all know who they are. They are the Tea Party Movement.
This is most likely a Physop campaign to demonize the good people in a grass roots honor our Constitution movement and paint them all as extremists.
Many of the Tea Baggers are balanced good people who don't hate.. but leave it to the Repugs to use the worst haters among them to clutch at straw chances to bring their party back to power in politics and kill the movement.
How?
By aligning themselves with raciest hate mongers claiming to be members of the tea party movement , people who are most likely paid disrupters and are the neo-con handmaidens for the NWO. By these acts theRepuglicons kill two birds with one stone and assure that their agenda of Martial law to gain control will come to fruition.
They fear the strong pro constitution people who have made the tea baggers parties so successful and now are working to destroy that threat.
To tea baggers everywhere I say ..
GET A GRIP ON YOUR MOVEMENT AND DENOUNCE THOSE WHO WOULD DESTROY YOUR MOVEMENT FROM THE INSIDE. YOU MUST PUBLICLY COME OUT AND DENOUNCE HATRED AND FEAR MONGERING. IF YOU DO NOT THEN YOU HAVE DOOMED YOUR MOVEMENT AND PLAYED RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE VERY ONES YOU ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT!

Here is a thought:
Remember those FEMA camps??? Does anyone know a better way for the military to be called out and martial law to be implemented than to capitalise and stoke the fires of this anti-government feelings right now? Remember the ones who have been dreaming of ways to control and finalize the Fascism in America by manipulating the anger of the people to their advantage..thereby fulfilling the NWO plan for America??
Need an example???
The War on Terrorism,brought on by the official lie from the government regarding 9/11!
People are playing right into their hands!
Being led like lambs to the slaughter!


For the record I voted for Cynthia McKinney.

The Republicans are attempting to use the current anti-government situation by saying this is about Obama and the Demorats.
Listen closely you neo-con repug morons..
THIS IS NOT ABOUT OBAMA!!!
THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS BEING IN POWER!!!!
THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE IN BOTH PARTIES ATTEMPT TO STEAL OUR COUNTRY,IGNORING OUR CONSTITUTION FOR PROFIT AND PREFORMING THAT COUPE OF YOURS WHEN 9/11 WAS DONE ON REPUGLICAN WATCH!!!!!

Having failed in that and having failed in their attempts to gain complete fascist control over our country,the Republicans have begun an all out propaganda war feeding frenzy on the fear and anger out here already and are blatantly trying to start a civil war.
I am nervous when Ms Palin starts endorsing anything .

She activly endorsed a cross hair drawing over pictures of Democrats who voted for the health care bill.
She was quoted as saying to the teabaggers..."don't retreat.. reload"...Mz. Palin I am sure there are a few moose and wolves out there who feel the same about you!

I am calling you out on this one Palin.

Ms.Palin in my opinion you are an extremist and from all appearances power mad.
You madam are an insult to real women with heart worldwide!
You do not speak for strong women ! You are a wanna be!
You wanna be powerful ..you wanna be in control.. you wanna be heard.. you wanna be a strong woman...yes you wanna be but you ain't and this is not the path that brings those qualities..this path you have chosen is a male be like "The Man" path and you Mz Palin ARE BEING PLAYED and you are a traitor to the sisterhood!
All the TV time and people kissing your ass because of your name is NOT REAL power madam that is called being a PUPPET for the men who run the corporations!!
YOU ARE IN MY OPINION ACTING LIKE A SPOILT BRAT CHILD THROWING A TANTRUM BECAUSE YOU DID NOT WIN AND STILL A PUPPET DANCING FOR THE MEN IN POWER!
You are calling for the children of American Mothers to be bleeding in the streets!
No real woman wishes that on any other mother!
You appear to be so filled with hate and drunk power lust that you have lost sight of what is real and powerful regarding being a woman!

Now for the Republican party

Cheney admits war crimes and the Republican Party is silent. Republican party gets us involved in two illegal wars and there is silence. the repuglicons draft and endorse the patriot act and BOTH PARTIES ENDORSED IT..
Obama and the Demorats hand us a health care bill nightmare that only benefits the insurance companies AND the repugs start showing up at Tea Bagger parties practically foaming at the mouth pointing fingers and saying look!

LISTEN UP PEOPLE THEY ARE PLAYING BOTH ENDS AGAINST THE MIDDLE HERE!
THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE OWNED BY THE SAME CORPORATIONS!
THE SAME CORPORATIONS THAT HAVE HIJACKED OUR SUPREME COURT!
THESE CORPORATIONS HAVE GIVEN MONIES TO BOTH PARTIES IN EACH ELECTION.
WE THE PEOPLE ARE BEING PLAYED!!!!!!!!

Obama is NOT I repeat NOT the anti-Christ!
Some folks will believe any damn fool thing!
DON'T START MAILING ME WITH QUOTES FROM THE BIBLE EITHER.. BEEN THERE, READ THAT AND I DISAGREE WITH THE PRESUMPTION!
STOP believing the propaganda garbage you are being fed by those who would benefit from your confusion!

FIRE THEM ALL REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS!
THEY ARE HEADS AND TAILS OF THE SAME QUARTER!
THEY HAVE AN INVESTED CORPORATION INTEREST IN PLAYING BOTH ENDS AGAINST THE MIDDLE KEEPING US WE THE PEOPLE DIVIDED!
IT IS DIVIDE AND CONQUER STRATEGY!
THEY ARE DESTROYING THE REPUBLIC!
THEY ARE LYING OUT THEIR ASSES THINKING YOU PEOPLE ARE SHEEPLES TO BE LED TO SLAUGHTER AND TO STUPID TO INVESTIGATE THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELVES!
ARE YOU?

Why Single payer option is vital to our health

Let me introduce U to Jill. Jill is thinking of moving to Canada so she can get her husband healthcare there and go to work.

This was sent to me from Barbara founder of Dare to Dream network. (Thanx Barbara)
Here is her story..sign the petition please.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From DareToDream Network:
Options: Don’t Work, Get a Divorce, Pass Single Payer, Move to Canada
Filed under: News — russell @ 10:02 pm

Jill Pearson has been legally blind since she was eight.

Despite this, she got a degree from the University of Miami in 1987 in biology.

Jill is married to Kevin Morrill.

Kevin got a degree in 1980 from Cal State in rehabilitative counseling.

Kevin is a quadriplegic.

Kevin needs home health care.

Kevin and Jill live in poverty in Cairo, Georgia.

They live off of disability checks from Social Security.

Jill grows her own organic fruits and vegetables.

But even though they are frugal, the money runs out by the second week of the month.

Jill worked for years for the state and national park systems in Florida.

But now she can’t work.

Because Kevin’s home health care is being paid for by Medicaid.

And Jill fears that if she works, Medicaid will cut Kevin off from home health services.

Kevin worked for 20 years.

If he works now, he will be cut off from home health services paid for by Medicaid.

Jill is also concerned about something called the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program.

Under this program, if Kevin dies, the state of Georgia will put a lien on Jill’s house.

“I have a petition to put an end to this barbaric program,” Jill says. “I have over 700 signatures so far.”

So, the system says to Jill – you can’t work.

If you work, we’ll cut off Kevin from Medicaid.

If you don’t work, we’ll keep him on.

But if he dies, we’ll take your house.

Here’s what else the system tells Jill – get a divorce.

If Jill divorce’s Kevin and takes all the assets, then Kevin will have zero assets.

And Kevin will be eligible for Medicaid.

And Jill can go to work.

“My advice to people with someone with a spinal cord injury – don’t ever get married,” Jill says.

Kevin says – “The government has made me a liability to my family.”

“We are just two of many persons with disabilities who worked hard at getting degrees and contributed to society,” Kevin says.
“We worked for 20 years and the end result is having all of our assets taken away by the government.”
“Where is the incentive for the disabled to get a degree, work or acquire assets?”
Here’s another option for both Jill and Kevin – move to Canada.

Canada has a single payer health insurance system.

And Jill has started looking.

Don’t work.

Get divorced.

Move to Canada.

Or pass single payer.

Jill can’t sleep at night.

She’s trying to fix her family situation.

And she stays up searching for answers.

She had hope that this country would do the civilized thing.

And pass single payer.

“Single payer is our only salvation,” Jill says. “It will allow me to get the medical care I need and have been denied because of my forced poverty and no Medicaid. It will allow us to work and regain our dignity and independence. It will allow millions of others to work and make their contributions to society without fear of punishment. It will allow the elderly to live out their days cared for without fear of leaving their families with the debt of the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program.”

“We have been denied our right to work, our right to the ‘American Dream’ of owning a home, and we have been denied our right to a decent retirement since we are forbidden to work. What we have worked so hard for will be taken away when my husband dies as our punishment.”

“This is why Obama’s plan is not an option. Forcing people to buy private insurance will do nothing for the elderly and disabled. We still will not receive attendant care or get to keep our homes. We will still be forced to live in poverty.”

This morning, Jill heard Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) on Democracy Now saying it would be years before single payer became law.

So today, Jill again cranked up her search for environmental jobs in Canada.

“Not only do they have single payer, they have more jobs,” Jill says.

What a country.

I also have a friend that will lose her Health Care if and when she goes back to work she is disabled ,her income is less than 900.00 a month from Social Security Disability. She has worked all of her life till a car accident that almost took her life and the devestating consiquences of that and other diseases disabled her. She gets 14.00 a month in food stamps,they say that is all she qualifies for. Her food runs out after the second week of the month and after paying bills and gas to go to and from the many doctors she is broke. She is unable to garden and many times would not eat if it wasn't for me. But I digress....After her surgery is done and if she is able to she wants to supplement her income by some job at home she can do like ...Medical transcripts since she is trained for that.. however right now she cannot afford all of her medications and while many companies are willing to give her a large cost reduction she cannot even afford the three dollars or so that they cost. She has medicaid and medicare and they pay for many of her meds but some of them still cost.She needs home health care but cannot get it as well. If she makes over the dollar limit allowed per year; (which is very low something like 9,000 ) then she will lose her health care. In essence Our government says she has to stay in poverty or lose her Health Care. I also know people who cannot marry because if they do they cannot work because if they work they will make to much money then their spouse will lose medical benefits and those peoples very lives depend on these medical benefits. It is outrageous that we have this kind of shenanagans going on in America. It is outrageous that our current system penalizes those that you love and you for working. This is extortion of the highest order. This is the reason we require single payer health care.

The Health Care debate

The insurance companies have submitted price increases on their premiums should this health care bill pass.
Is this some kind of extortion?
Some of the concerns seem to be that those who would normally get insurance from them will just opt out and get it through the government plan. By all counts the people who can afford to purchase Health Insurance on their own already have.
Paranoia regarding this bill is running rampant.

Our elected people on "The Hill" have been pointing fingers, while spouting political party rheteric. Unemployment has hit a high unequeled since the depression rates. No job equels no health insurance. People are struggling to pay their house note,put food on the table, cloth their kids,and pay for their automobiles.
Is it possible that unemployment,low job wages,rising prices in food and other life necessities might be the main reason many people are supportive of some kind of health care program? Let us not forget about the people who are uninsurable and not on disability.
What are they supposed to do?

It has been stated by Insurance ads against the proposed Health care Bill that government does not need to be involved in health care decisions. How is it OK for the insurance companies to be involved then? Everyday insurance companies tell doctors what they can and can not do for a patient based on what they will and will not pay for. These Insurance companies have the nerve to use the fear of government control over the individual health care as a fear mongering tool to let them keep the control instead.
Niether the Insurance companies nor the government,should have say so over what treatment is required for a patient. It is up to the doctors and patient to say what treatment the doctors will or will not preform.
Hmmmm patients responsible for their own health care ,novel concept that!

Now to address those that are concerned about government socialism tactics.
Their is a huge fear out there and it is growing. Getting health care for all seems to be the proverbial straw that broke the camels back.
Funny these people do not find it socialism when we take care of our seniors through social security, medicare, our children and mothers through welfare,food stamps,WIC programs,medicaid,children's medical programs,our Veterans medical care, disability payments, SSI,or other federally funded care programs. Are these programs Constitutional? If it's not then under that argument neither is anything else the government is doing including IRS. So either revoke it all, Health care for vets ,IRS, WIC,Medicaid, food stamps etc,( all helpful and good programs except IRS ) or hush up about it being unconstitutional. This writer is a huge supporter of the Constitution and the rights it conveys but the issue of health care for every citizen is not the place to start speaking about the Constitution.

Hospitals cannot refuse care to anyone who comes to the emergency room.
Many uninsured fill up the hospital ER's because they have no other way to get care. This increases the load and wait time in our ER's. Have they not heard the horror stories about people dying in waiting rooms? This happens because the Emergency rooms are overflowing. Much of this overflow is due to uninsured patients. Many or most of these uninsured are unable to ever pay for their treatment. The hospitals take the loss.

Why can't each individual state put together an insurance program for those that are uninsured. Perhaps the only thing the federal government should be doing is mandating that all states have all the citizens in their states covered by some form of health care. Perhaps the hospitals and doctors could do a sliding fee scale for those that cannot afford insurance based on yearly income. Perhaps the state health departments can step up and do a more comprehensive job by participating in some form of health care for those who cannot afford insurance. Unemployed people would then have an option. Perhaps doctors could take payments monthly from their patients before they get sick. An example of this would be; People pick out a doctor they want and pay doctor so much a month that would cover the doctors standard fee whether they are sick or not ,then when one is sick they just go to the doctor as the docs fees would have already been covered. At the end of the year the money can either be refunded or roll over to the next year.

What is required in this writers opinion is thinking outside the box, creativity and problem solving abilities ,not more Federal government laws and certainly not this political bruhaha currently going on.
