Hillary Finally Admits What We All Know

Universal healthcare, which I've touched on many times, is a hot topic these days. Democrats are using it to get the poor to come out to vote for them. But all Democrats, except one, aren't willing to tell you what we already know: That taxes will increase dramatically.

Clinton doesn't have a plan yet either. But she says her proposal, when it comes, will contain the most controversial element of her failed earlier effort--an employer mandate requiring all businesses to provide health insurance for their workers. "No more free riders," she declared. "No more companies that don't insure everybody and shift their costs onto other companies that do and onto the taxpayer." Clinton warned that her plan will spark a "big political battle" because it will mean "taking money away from people who make out really well right now." And who might those people be? "Well," she answered, "let's start with the insurance companies." Let the battle begin--again.

So, the taxpayer, will end up footing the bill. She wants to "take money" out of your pocket and insure those who don't have insurance. She doesn't even have the nerve to lie to you and tell you she's only going after insurance companies. "Let's START with insurance companies." Who knows where she'll finish? Probably right around the bottom of your pockets.

Iran Accused US Warplanes Of Violating Airspace

They sure are picking for a fight aren't they? Funny thing is, they didn't fire upon those jets did they? The reason why they didn't is because they want to be seen as the victim and if they fire first, they aren't the victim. They also didn't make a move against the planes because they know they weren't in Iranian airspace and they'd have their asses handed to them if they did. I can't believe that there are still people out there who believe the Iranian governments bullshit.

Pelosi Doesn't Mind Dealing With Terrorist Nation

So she just shrugged it off and said "It's interesting because three of our colleagues, who are all Republicans, were in Syria yesterday and I didn't hear the White House speaking out about that," Pelosi said, referring to the Sunday meeting of Reps. Frank Wolf, Joe Pitts and Robert Aderholt with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus.

Here's a little tip Nancy, just because they did it, doesn't mean it's right for you to do it. It was wrong for these 3 people to do it as well. We all learned that in Kindergarten. You can't appease terrorist nations and you certainly shouldn't be giving them any opportunity for them to become emboldened. God, for being the Speaker Of The House, you sure aren't all that bright.

Stop Attacking Militants!

These poor people are only firing rockets all the time and trying to kill you. It's bad enough when you have people making outrageous demands, but take a look at this:

The sources add that Olmert answered he would consider only this if the militant organizations refrained from firing rockets or carrying out attacks for a period of two weeks. Abbas retorted that a complete armistice was impossible as long as the IDF was targeting militants in the West Bank.

So Israel is asking for a 2 week period of non attacks and they couldn't even get that??? Then they push Israel away from peace talks with comments like this:

"If they go on meeting without the release of prisoners or other gestures, we ourselves will supply Hamas with the weapons it wants," they said.

So, if they don't stop retaliating against people who want to kill them and are carrying out attacks, then the Palestinian government is saying they will supply known terrorist groups with weapons. And they wonder why the US and other governments around the world have stopped supplying them with financial aid. Morons.

Supreme Court Denies Guantanamo Bay Detainees

The Supreme Court today denied an appeal to allow Guantanamo Bay prisoners to challenge their confinement in court. This is the proper thing because if you don't follow the rules of war, you don't get to have the same rights as those that do. You don't have Constitutional rights when you're not an American citizen, just like I don't get to share in the oil wealth in Alaska because I'm not an Alaskan citizen. It's a harsh thing that many liberals don't want to hear, but it's the truth.

Iran Becoming Emboldened

I told you this would happen. This is one of those times that special forces were created for. The Iranian kidnapping of British sailors is an act of war, therefore, having special forces go in and extract them is a perfectly viable means of ending the situation. Iran is starting to think that they can get away with kidnapping soldiers and they will get their way every time unless the British or American forces do something about it. Personally, If I were President and this happened to American soldiers, they wouldn't be hostages for long. You get one chance to release them. Then, the gloves come off. We all go home, or no one goes home.

Obama Stirred Up A Hornets Nest

So Barack Obama stated that if President Bush vetoed the spending bill Congress would quickly do another budget without the timeline because "no lawmaker wants to play chicken with our troops."

Well apparently, there are major Democratic bloggers out there who do "want to play chicken with our troops." They call it "surrendering to Bush". I guess they have no problem surrendering to Al-Qaeda, but surrendering to Bush is going to make you a pariah.

Obama - Good/Bad

So Senator Obama has said that Congress will approve funding without the timetable because nobody "wants to play chicken with our troops."

While I applaud Senator Obama for that statement, later down the article he runs into a problem.

Was vague about whether universal health coverage would require higher taxes. "I'm committed to making sure we find those resources," Obama said. "It is possible that we are going to need additional resources at least on the front end. I think you can save that money on the back end." He is meeting with expects this week as he develops a health care proposal.

Without giving specifics, Obama said he would offer a system that provides universal care and cuts costs for employers by allowing small businesses to pool together.

So, just like I've warned before, universal health care isn't going to work because Democrats don't know how they are going to pay for it without significantly raise your taxes. I don't know about you, but why should I get up every morning at 6 AM to head to work and bust my ass so I can pay for someone who's able to work but chooses not to who's on welfare so they can get medical treatment? If a person's not able to work, fine, I don't mind helping someone who's willing to help themselves. But let's first clean up the welfare system so my taxes aren't being wasted. What about those who don't want to better themselves and have resigned to jobs making minimum wage? If you want better health care, get a job that provides it. Can't get that job? Go to college. There's tons of grants, loans, and other ways of paying for college.

I don't know about other states, but in my state we have basic health coverage to anyone who wants it. It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it is basic health coverage. Why can't other states follow suit? What's wrong with the insurance we offer now? There are plenty of programs out there for those who want to take 20 minutes to look it up.

Was There A US-Iranian Fight?

Whispers and rumors always spread wildly, but if this one is true, you can bet that the Iranians need an ass whipping. According to this article, the Iranian military attempted to ambush a join US-Iraqi border patrol. When the patrol followed an Iranian soldier who was in Iraqi territory, they were surrounded by a massive number of Iranian soldiers. A firefight broke out and one Iranian soldier was killed.

Details are of course, very sketchy considering that this in of itself would be considered an act of war. Iran needs to buy a map because they can't seem to distinguish what is their territory and what's the Iraqi's. This is why we take a hard line against Iran. It's not a simple "we're being a bully to poor Iran." They are actively trying to undermine the US-Iraqi security forces. They have given or allowed to be stolen, at least 100 extremely expensive, long range sniper rifles. They are actively developing a nuclear weapon I have no doubt. They support terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and they need to be stopped.

Every Middle Eastern country agrees that they are trying to develop a nuclear weapon and no one thinks they should get one, regardless of what you read in the news. They'll say that they are "with their Iranian brothers", but when the chips are down, they all know that a nuclear Iran would be disastrous for the region and the world.

Democrats Have Some Nerve

When a budget was planned for additional funding of the Iraq war, Democrats put in a provision of a timeline. They then filled the bill with pork barrel spending all over the map as a way to force the President to veto the bill and look bad. Now, they have the nerve to say that if the President vetoes the bill: "If the president vetoes this bill because he doesn't want to formally demonstrate progress in Iraq, never in the history of war would there be a more blatant example of a commander in chief undermining the troops."

Democrats lately have been found out to show their true colors. Tax increase plans, undermining troop flexibility, allowing corruption to get rewarded, terrorist nation appeasement, the list goes on and on.

This is what happens when you vote Democrat. They love to talk about "pie in the sky utopian" views, but when it comes down to it, they are spineless against crime and terrorism, have socialist views, want to give away your hard earned tax dollars, and only think of short term goals that will increase their popularity and consolidate power.
