<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation. &#8220;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Alice Miller</em><a href="http://www.cagle.com/caglecards/main.asp?image=http://cagle.com/working/100128/stantis.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.cagle.com/working/100128/stantis.jpg" alt="" align="bottom" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Might we assume that President Obama&#8217;s constant verbal assault on the American people to support his health care scam, the majority of who are opposed, might be likened to a form of sadism?</strong> He keeps beating us over the head with unrealistic projections and half truths about what his proposal will actually accomplish and what it will cost. This despite our agony of having to look at his face and listen to his voice on the news everyday&#8230;. he just keeps on talking and talking and lying, subjecting us to banality that is worse than any physical pain could ever be. I might also add that looking at Pelosi and Reid on a regular basis is enough to cause us pain by itself. One of the main half truths is of course the amount of people who are uninsured. <span id="more-5493"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>First, the number includes 9.3 million non-citizens. </strong>Not all of them are undocumented aliens, but clearly <a href="http://www.numbersusa.com/content/news/march-2-2009/number-illegal-aliens-decreases-17.html">a lot of them are</a>. And neither the president’s proposal nor the House and Senate bills would make undocumented aliens eligible for subsidized coverage. They couldn’t pass if they did.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Second, the Census number fails to correct for the “Medicaid undercount”</strong> &#8212; several million people who are actually covered by the federal government’s largest health program for the poor, but who don’t report that to the Census. It also includes some who are eligible for Medicaid but don’t enroll. Former <a href="http://keithhennessey.com/2009/04/09/how-many-uninsured-people-need-additional-help-from-taxpayers/">Bush administration economist Keith Hennessey</a>, drawing on calculations done by government experts when he was in office, puts the total of these two categories at 10.7 million</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, right there, <strong>we’ve got roughly 20 million people who are either (a) presumptively ineligible for universal coverage because they’re in the country illegally, or (b) already eligible for government aid under existing law.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>That leaves 25.7 million people &#8212; not 30 million,</strong> as the president said. Still, does this cohort match his description of the “left out?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Another 10.1 million are individuals or families who make at least three times the federal poverty level,</strong>which is roughly the national median income, according to Hennessey.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>So that leaves 10.6 million U.S. citizens with income below 300 percent of poverty, who are not on or eligible for a taxpayer-subsidized health insurance program and are not childless adults between age 18 and 34&#8230;.</strong>If anyone deserves government help, it would be this group of 10.6 million. But that is one-third, not “the vast majority,” of the 30 million figure President Obama used.   <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postpartisan/2010/03/what_obama_left_out_about_the.html?hpid=opinionsbox1">http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postpartisan/2010/03/what_obama_left_out_about_the.html?hpid=opinionsbox1</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The article I have cited is one of the most right on point assessments made disputing Obama&#8217;s ragged claims of what he believes the uninsured population to be, once again proving that he is either quite adept in his psycopathy of misstating the truth or is just plain ignorant of the facts. The most likely answer to that satement is that he doesn&#8217;t care what the actual numbers of uninsured are; he is just too comfortable in his own exclusive reality of half truths.  Just my opinion.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Be fruitful and prosperous my brothers!</em></p>
<p><strong>Doublespeak</strong> (sometimes called <strong>doubletalk</strong>) is any <strong>language that deliberately disguises, distorts</strong>, or reverses the meaning of words,<strong> resulting in a communication bypass.</strong> Doublespeak may take the form of <strong>euphemisms</strong><strong> (e.g., &#8220;downsizing&#8221; for </strong><strong>layoffs</strong><strong>); intentional </strong><strong>ambiguity</strong><strong>; or the reversal of meaning (for example, calling war &#8220;peace&#8221;, or maintaining the status quo &#8220;change&#8221;). <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak</a></strong></p>
<p>The term &#8220;deficit neutral&#8221; can be described as the perfect example of doublespeak. <strong>President Obama, front man for the international &#8220;shadow&#8221; financiers, has used the term &#8220;deficit neutral,&#8221; ad-nauseum in a campaign of &#8220;intentional ambiguity,&#8221;designed to deceive the American people</strong>. To break it down in it&#8217;simplest form. If you are going to spend money on a program like health care which is an entitlement you need to have a money source, ie, the taxpayer. Once the taxpayer has been scammed out of his money the entitlement becomes anything but deficit neutral. <strong>The administrations play on words would have you believe that by increasing your taxes they would not incur additional debt to fund their health care reform program;</strong> in reality your personal debt would be increased by having your cash flow diminished to pay for the government entitlement. <span id="more-6080"></span></p>
<p>At this point, to refute any negative connotation attached to that idea, the government, (in this case the Obama administration), would try to convince you that having the entitlement financed in this way would save you, the taxpayer, money in your health care costs. However, <strong>in  addition to your tax contribution, they will also cut funding in other areas, ie, medicare, to help finance the new &#8220;reform&#8221; entitlement at the expense of another segment of the population being robbed of their entitlement; senior citizens</strong>. Another words robbing Peter to pay Paul. Senior citizens by not having availability of their prior health care entitlement would then be forced to pay premiums for medical care that had previously been subsidized. They would then have an increased deficit in their spending which would be anything but &#8220;neutral.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>To further extrapolate the &#8220;big lie,&#8221;  insurance companies would finance their so called &#8220;shortfalls&#8221; from lowered premiums, from you, by charging the government directly for their so called increased cost of doing business.</strong> The government ever inept in money management would then further increase taxes to pay the &#8220;increased&#8221; cost of health care through more taxation, creating more of a deficit in your personal cash flow. Additionally <strong>health care providers</strong> who by this time <strong>will be forced into the Cuban compensation model, (poverty level wages),</strong> will themselves forced to find ever more ways to fraud the system in order to maintain their personal standard of living. The government, as has been proven in the past, would ignore the corruption and once again increase your taxes in order to fund the by then, institutionalized corruption in he system. Of course the bureaucrats charged with controlling that corruption would themselves, as has been their habit since thus far,  join in on the corruption. The end result will be massive corruption and unsustainable costs which would bankrupt the system itself as well as you in the process.</p>
<p>If that tortured explanation which I have offered in the above diatribe is too confusing then look at <strong>the health care reform scam</strong>  another way: it<strong> will cheat you out of your hard earned money to finance a massive socialist program that will suck you dry with increased taxation</strong> which will result in your personal deprivation and increase your debt to the government. <strong>That my friends is anything but &#8220;deficit neutral</strong>.  Just my opinion.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="http://seeker401.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/karl-marx-fish.jpg" alt="" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The business opportunity of course being radical totalitarian socialism</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Th</strong><strong>e influence of lobbyists in the Obama White House was first reported in October of 2009 when the White House released it&#8217;s visitors logs.</strong> Those logs revealed what had been reported and was then confirmed, that public policy is being determined by outside lobbyist who are not elected officials. <strong>This further confirms that Obama is firmly committed to government by committee rather than representation, a hallmark of totalitarian socialism.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Andy Stern who is a backer of the health care reform scam seemingly has undue influence on the administration. </strong>Stern is for all intents and purposes, along with G.E. Chairman Jeffery Imelt, one of two resident White House lobbyists,with Imelt successfully hedging in on all government grants for General Electric getting billions for  alternative energy research and production and Stern increasing his union the Service Workers International Union&#8217;s, (SEIU), power over the business community with policy decisions favoring his union specifically. Both are among the most frequent visitors to the White House along with Micheal Moore and radical progressive and former White House Chief of Staff under the Clinton Administration, John Podesta. <a href="http://blogcritics.org/politics/article/white-house-visitors-log-shows-where/">http://blogcritics.org/politics/article/white-house-visitors-log-shows-where/</a> <span id="more-6072"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In March 5 of this year, (2010), <strong>in a show of blatant hypocrisy President Obama, who promised to limit the role of lobbyists in Washington&#8230;. appointed Andy Stern to the newly created National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.</strong>&#8230;(and)&#8230;.has set off a firestorm of criticism from business and conservative groups who charge he is a political radical who should be investigated for failure to register as a lobbyist. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/05/obama-draws-appointing-seius-stern-deficit-panel/">http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/05/obama-draws-appointing-seius-stern-deficit-panel/</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span><strong>Neither you nor I elected thes individuals to determine public policy.</strong> Despite all the denials by Obama&#8217;s mainstream media party organs,<strong> Obama has consistently shown he does not care what the majority of the American public thinks or wants. </strong></span>Obama is once again pursuing Saul Alinsky&#8217;s dream of a radical socialist regime that is representative only of the needs and wants of the progressive liberal political elites,  who feel they are far better than we in making decisions affecting our daily lives. Just my opinion.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8221; All institutions are prone to corruption and the vices of their members.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Morris West </em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="View Full-Size" href="http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/n/m/2/Iran-Truths.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/n/m/2/Iran-Truths.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>The federal government has awarded more than $107 billion in contract payments, grants and other benefits over the past decade to foreign and multinational American companies while they were doing business in Iran</strong>, despite Washington’s efforts to discourage investment there, records show. That includes nearly $15 billion paid to companies that defied American sanctions law by making large investments that helped Iran develop its vast oil and gas reserves.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For years, the United States has been pressing other nations to join its efforts to squeeze the Iranian economy, in hopes of reining in Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Now, with the nuclear standoff hardening and Iran rebuffing American diplomatic outreach, the Obama administration is trying to win a tough new round of United Nations sanctions. <span id="more-6058"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But <a title="Methodology of the Times’s analysis" href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/03/06/world/iran-sanctions.html#methodology">a New York Times analysis</a> of federal records, company reports and other documents shows that both the Obama and Bush administrations have sent mixed messages to the corporate world when it comes to doing business in Iran, rewarding companies whose commercial interests conflict with American security goals.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Many of those companies are enmeshed in the most vital elements of Iran’s economy</strong>. More than two-thirds of the government money went to companies doing business in Iran’s energy industry — a huge source of revenue for the Iranian government and a stronghold of the increasingly powerful <a title="More articles about the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/i/islamic_revolutionary_guard_corps/index.html?inline=nyt-org">Islamic Revolutionary Guards</a> Corps, a primary focus of the Obama administration’s proposed sanctions because it oversees Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/world/middleeast/07sanctions.html?hp">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/world/middleeast/07sanctions.html?hp</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So&#8230;.we <strong>are supposed to respond to hysteria over Iran, when Washington is complicit in giving contracts to those U.S. companies and subsidiaries contributing to Iran&#8217;s growing militancy? </strong>In that Obama&#8217;s trying to delegate his failed negotiations with Iran to the UN, might he be buying time for those companies to gain as much profit in their dealings with Iran for as long as possible?  Now we might, I think, safely assume that this may be part of the reason that the past and present administrations did not want Israel to bomb the Iranian nuclear program out of existence.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It&#8217;s no secret that<strong> lobbyists for these companies bribe the Congress and anyone who has influence to effect these various federal contracts</strong>. With that being said <strong>are we,</strong> not if&#8211; but when Iran makes it&#8217;s move to dominate the middle east, <strong>supposed to support our troops being put in place to be killed because corrupt companies and their Congressional lackeys have sold us out? There is no patriotism at risk in opposing any U.S. military intervention in Iran when Washington is selling us out by not stopping the greed and corruption in it&#8217;s own house.</strong>  Just my opinion.</p>

<p>While it would be trite to excuse Gadahn&#8217;s treason as ingratitude towards the country that raised and protected him under a system of freedom&#8217;s and protections he would destroy, it is indeed on component of this traitor&#8217;s psyche. Like John Walker Lindh,  Gadahn aparently has a defect in his ability to reason that his treason is most likely a result of his own defeciencies and fear of manhood.  Another words he is a spoiled brat who no doubt still harbors adolescent anger, for whatever strtange reasons, towards a country he should have been gratful to have grown up in. Now the story&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>It is alleged though not confirmed that Am</strong><strong>erican-born spokesman for al-Qaida has been arrested by Pakistani intelligence officers </strong>in the southern city of Karachi, two officers and a government official said Sunday, the same day Adam Gadahn appeared in a video urging U.S. Muslims to attack their own country. The arrest of Gadahn is a major victory in the U.S.-led battle against al-Qaida and will be taken as a sign that Pakistan is cooperating more fully with Washington. <strong>It follows the recent detentions of several Afghan Taliban commanders in Karachi. </strong></p>
<div id="body_after_content_column">
<p>Gadahn &#8211; who has often appeared in al-Qaidavideos &#8211; was arrested in the sprawling southern metropolis in recent days, two officers who took part in the operation said. A senior government official also confirmed the arrest. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. <span id="more-6052"></span></p>
<p><strong>Gadahn grew up on a goat farm in Riverside County, California, and converted to Islam at a mosque in nearby Orange County.</strong> He moved to Pakistan in 1998, according to the FBI, <strong>and is said to have attended an al-Qaida training camp six years later, serving as a translator and consultant for the group</strong>. He has been wanted by the FBI since 2004, and there is a $1 million reward for information leading to his arrest or conviction&#8230;.A U.S. court charged Gadahnwith treason in 2006, making him the first American to face such a charge in more than 50 years. He could face the death penalty if convicted. He was also charged with two counts of providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/07/AR2010030701517.html?hpid=topnews">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/07/AR2010030701517.html?hpid=topnews</a></p>
<p><strong>It does not take a lower than average I.Q. to figure out who threw down Gahadn.</strong> The two Taliban commanders captured by the Pakistanis, coincidentally prior to Gadahn&#8217;s capture, were not subject to the politically correct Eric Holder&#8217;s rules of interrogation.<strong> The question now is Eric Holder himself and how he will handle this case of this murderous traitor.</strong></p>
<p>Obama and his A.G. Holder have proven themselves &#8220;user friendly&#8221; by their granting constitutional privileges to terrorists, something they do not now have to do because Gdahan is an American citizen. The real question is, <strong>will they try him for treason and enforce the death penalty</strong> or will we see more of the same coddling for another terrorist murderer. <strong>Given Obama and Holder&#8217;s sentiments I</strong> <strong>would venture Gadahn will be given a cell and three squares a day along with free medical care for the rest of his life.</strong></p>
<p>That of course is my personal assumption. But given the Obama administrations past actions that favour terrorists rights, I may be right on the mark. I hope I&#8217;m wrong.  Just my opinion.</p>
