Abruptly I might add. Though, it’s probably a publicity stunt to appease the sheeple.
She has apologized, but is it truly heartfelt? You can’t just say what she said and merely say “I’m sorry”.
Thomas wrote on her website that “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians.”
This really is no surprise after her spoken remarks.
So, someone who advocates rationing health care and who really likes the National Health Service of the UK has been chosen by Obama to run Medicare and Medicaid. Anyone see a problem with that?
In a talk he delivered in England in 2008 to mark the 60th birthday of Great Britain’s National Health Service, the bureaucracy that runs that country’s single-payer health care system, Berwick told the British that he loved their system. “”Cynics beware,” he said. “I am romantic about the National Health Service; I love it.”
When asked if Sebelius agrees with the following statement, she skirts around the actual question and then says she answered it when probed further for an answer.
“The decision is not whether or not we will ration care–the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open,” Berwick said in a June 2009 interview with Biotechnology Healthcare.
The government will pick and choose who gets healthcare by “rationing” it. Wasn’t something said about a death panel before the healthcare passed?
If government run health care is so great and cost effected, then why is the cost of health care in Canada rising?
Healthcare in Canada is delivered through a publicly funded system, which covers all “medically necessary” hospital and physician care and curbs the role of private medicine. It ate up about 40 percent of provincial budgets, or some C$183 billion ($174 billion) last year.
We were told that the health care bill will save money, yet it is costing billions to implement it. We were told that there would be no death panels, yet the plan is to ration health care, which would decide who is eligible for different forms of health care.
How do you like the health care bill now?
In London, where gun control is in effect, a gunman shot a bunch of unarmed citizens.
A taxi driver described as quiet but friendly went on a shooting spree across a picturesque rural area of northwestern England on Wednesday, killing at least five people and wounding 25 others before apparently turning the gun on himself, officials said.
The rampage, in a region famed for its tranquil beauty, shocked a country where handguns are banned and multiple shootings rare — it was Britain’s deadliest mass shooting since 1996.
And people wonder why we gun owners in America prefer to stay armed. Being able to shoot back is preferable to being placed in a box.

People will be offended no matter what happens. But telling someone they can’t fly the American Flag in their window of their residence is bulls**t!
“This policy was developed to insure that we are fair to everyone as we have many residents from diverse backgrounds,” the statement read. “By having a blanket policy of neutrality we have found that we are less likely to offend anyone and the aesthetic qualities of our apartment communities are maintained.”
That is a national symbol and, honestly, if it offends you pack your bags and leave this country! I’m sure there are plenty of people willing to help with that.
My husband and I feel that being told not to fly the flag is highly offensive.

What happened to self reliance and why in Zeus’s butthole does the current administration want to take care of everyone else and ignore the issues in our own country?
The U.S. must shape a world order relying as much on the persuasiveness of its diplomacy as the might of its military, he said. All hands are required to solve the world’s newest threats: terrorism, the spread of nuclear weapons, climate change and feeding and caring for a growing world population, he added.
As I continue reading Atlas Shrugged I frequently see similarities between the book and present day America.
From each according to his ability to each according to his need. – Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Apparently other countries, who could IMO take care of themselves, are higher on the list of priorities than people right here at home.
The government also seems to think that throwing money at problems will be the solution. For example, programs such as Social Security, food stamps, unemployment, etc. are having money taken from tax payers for funding. This creates a decline for private wages.
The trend is not sustainable, says University of Michigan economist Donald Grimes. Reason: The federal government depends on private wages to generate income taxes to pay for its ever-more-expensive programs. Government-generated income is taxed at lower rates or not at all, he says. “This is really important,” Grimes says.
The Obama administration is pushing the country towards communism:
Economist David Henderson of the conservative Hoover Institution says a shift from private wages to government benefits saps the economy of dynamism. “People are paid for being rather than for producing,” he says.
(Emphasis mine). In this case, the way to make more money would be to have more kids, because then your need is greater.
We don’t have any kids and we are working our butts off to make ends meet, yet we are punished for our hard work just because someone else doesn’t work but needs more because they couldn’t keep it in their pants or their legs closed. Oh yeah, they also need a new big screen TV and an expensive ‘green’ vehicle to cart the kids around in.
Why should my husband and I not shrug?

I know, I know. You’re sitting at home and you’re scratching your head and you’re saying why in this age of enlightenment is it still necessary to blast these beautiful creatures out of the sky and the answer is simple. Responsible hunting has always been a part of responsible conservation. Plus they taste really good. – Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs (Collection 5 Episode 2 Goose Down Plucker)
Hunters are the biggest contributors to conservation, yet the Liberals think hunting and the tools used are a bad thing.
As TMM put it, Mike Rowe actually got something out of his Eagle Scout unlike Michael Bloomberg.
The MinuteWoman has a baby Prairie Dog separated from his family. Oh My!
Angel just received a baby Prairie Dog from the Wildlife Care Network. He is separated from his family and is lost. The baby Prairie Dog is scared and needs someone to adopt him.
The Minuteman.
Club it like you would a baby seal!
[I posted a lost animal from Zoo World on Facebook and John C. showed his absolute distaste for the particular species.]

Isn’t it ironic? Obama wants to force spending cuts on lawmakers, yet he partakes in deficit spending to “help the economy“.
