Let's talk about Obamacare, or in other words Socialism.

Mr. Obama likes to point to the Veterans’ Administration as a shining example of how efficient the Government can be at medical care.

Right off the bat you get the sense that Government administrative efficiency may be in the eye of the beholder. You don’t have to think very hard and a horror story regarding the VA hospital will come to mind. Do you remember not that long ago some VA administrator had his lap top stolen with the name, address and social security numbers of millions of Veterans?

What program has our Government put in place that has worked out all that well? Let's review:

• The U.S. Post Office. Initiated in 1775, Government has had over 230 years to get it right but now we hear it’s about to fold. In fact “Our Dear Leader” Mr. O says UPS and Fedex, private companies, are the model that should be followed because they are thriving. Notice the Gov. doesn’t run UPS and Fedex? Hmmm.
• Social Security. Initiated in the mid 30’s. How we doing there? Oh,yeah, it's not going to make it either. Our Government has had 70 plus years to get it straightened out and sira-narah baby, the money is gone.
• Fannie Mae. A quick Google search says this program was started in 1938. 71 years to perfect that program and oops, broke’s-ville. Dang, I hope this isn’t a trend because I was sure hoping I could trust the Dems when they said Obama care would be so good for us.
• The War on Poverty. LBJ’s big idea that was going to end poverty once and for all. Yeah, that went well and poverty has been eliminated! Oh wait, that one started in 1964 and well basically fizzled out not doing a darn thing but causing more and more of a welfare state and gave lame-brain politicians the great idea to start other programs like Head Start and Job Corps, both stellar examples of failure. They had 45 years to make “The War on Poverty” work but just can’t seem to make it happen.
• Medicare and Medicaid. Oh boy, do I really even need to point out how this one is going after 44 years? Initiated in 1965 it looks to be in shambles. Mr. Bush tired to wave his Government magic wand and fix these programs and it’s still broke and has just confused the heck out of my mom. Nope, can point to this one as a Government ran program that has lived up to the hype.

I don’t think this is productive and besides it is really kind of depressing that all of these programs will either become absolutely broke, if they aren’t already or some more huge tax will have to be put into place to allow our Government to run them as “efficiently” as they have thus far.

Maybe a closer look at the programs that the current President has put into place will reveal a brighter picture that will show we should trust them with the Health Care program.

• The TARP Bill of 2009. In Mr. Obama’s own words the TARP money was going to “immediately” put money into pockets of Americans and stave off higher unemployment numbers. How we doing? If I remember right unemployment was around 6% and what is it now? 9.7%! Holy Guacamole! What exactly did that almost 800 Trillion do for us any way? Apparently made it possible to give a few bankers some nice bonus’s. Oh, I heard some Senator had a beautiful airport upgraded and put some folks to work but when the project is over all the workers will be in the unemployment line and the upgraded airport will not get very much use because its out in the sticks.
• Cash for Clunkers. Did you buy your new Toyota while that program was in effect? Maybe you went with a brand new Honda instead. America didn’t make out so good on that deal but Japan is mighty grateful. I am not sure, did that program cost us 2 or 4 Billion? Whatever the amount the moneys gone and we can’t say it did much for either pollution or the economy, another nice job by our Government, thanks guys!

There is a line from my favorite movie (The Outlaw Jose Wells):

“Senator, don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining”

Every time I hear Obama and his cronies/czars open their mouth's they are basically telling us “don’t worry it’s just a little rain” and “Oh, by the way, we need the moisture”.

Mr. Obama, quit pissing down my back, its just stinking socialist urine!

Stand up my friends, take to the streets and bring your neighbor with you. We are about to loose our Freedoms at the hands of evil (yes, I said evil and I mean evil), misguided, freedom hating, socialists that think they know better than God Himself what this Country needs.

Remember these words:

”No Nation which has kept the Commandments of God has ever perished, but I say to you that once Freedom is lost, only blood- human blood will win it back”

-Ezra Taft Benson 1979

Let's act now before blood needs to be spilled.

Time to get Political

>>>>Be Warned!<<<<

Ardent political view expressed below...

If you think the Country is going the right way- do not read...

If you think Mr. Obama is Deity on earth- do not read...

If you think socialism is the way to go- Please do not read...

...because you WILL be offended.

A friend of mine made the comment the other day that he thought I went to Ecuador to do a “walk about”. A walk about? Me? Not really.

You remember that guy from down under who said the line “Come on down to Australia and we’ll throw another shrimp on the barb’y for ya”. Paul Hogen, aka Crocodile Dundee is his name and he made a couple of movie that made the term “walk about” famous.

I suppose a walk about means to aimlessly go some place and tour around with no real objectives or plan, perhaps when you go on a walk about you are trying to learn more about yourself than anything at least that is my interpretation of the term.

If that is what it is intended to mean then nothing could be farther from the truth in my case.I’m here for several reasons and nothing about this trip is aimless, I have objectives and I certainly know who I am. So, a walk about is not accurate and my buddy is mistaken. (I still love ya Scott!)

I came on this trip because of what is going on back home. Maybe you missed it but our Republic is changing right before our eyes.

“We the People” now own a majority share of General Motors, a once PRIVATE all be it publicly owne company. How could this happen? And the President of the United States of America can somehow fire the CEO?

Watch this video regarding your Government taking over GM: http://tinyurl.com/kmggu3

Big banks have been handed our money with no accountability; go ahead request an accounting for where the money went from the Fed (Federal Reserve) and see how your request is handled.Prepare to be ignored.

If the Gov is running a little short of cash they will just print more right?

I will never be accused of being a great scholar but what happens when you print money that is basically worthless? Oh yeah, you will probably experience something called hyperinflation.Even I remember from Mr. Wells World History class at Mesa High, home of the bad A Jackrabbits, the photo of the woman with the wheel barrow full of money heading to the bakery to buy a loaf of bread. That’s where we are headed, better stock up on wheel borrows while you can.

This whole health care “debate” is unbelievable. The Government wants to take over health care? What the heck? Our Government couldn’t pour water out of a boot with the directions written on the heel! And they want to take over the health care system? Have you read what is contained in the Bill they want to pass? Probably not, if you are like most.

Oh yes, and the Department of Homeland Security wants to keep an eye on folks who own guns, believe in God and are dissatisfied with “Our Dear Leader”. According to DHS these types of folks should be considered extremists and not just extremists but “Right wing extremists”, the most EV-IL sort of extremist.

I could go on but maybe my reasoning for concern is a little clearer to you by now.

Maybe you think me a crank, thats OK. Maybe all is well in your happy place but maybe YOU have fallen asleep because you don’t feel like you are affected; don't worry, you will feel it soon enough.

Anyway, now that my blood pressure is at dangerously high levels I will calm down and explain why I came on this trip.

Basically, I wanted a palace to go to that I felt my family and I could escape the wholesale destruction of what once was the greatest County in the World.

Guess what? I'm not alone.

I have met at least 3 couples who feel the same way that I do in my travels here in Ecuador, they are looking for a place to weather the storm as it were. If I have met 3 couples sofar, could there be more? You bet! Lots of them.

The USA may still be the greatest but Mr. Obama is hell bent to see it no longer is; this the Country whose Constitution was inspired by God Himself and the Country which been the economic engine that has fought for and funded freedom and democracy around the word.

We are being cut off at the knees and will be paying taxes at levels that will reduce us to mere servents of the state. Just ask out friends in England how it feels to pay the kind of taxes they are now paying. Now, there is some change that you may not have counted on if you voted for B.O..

I wanted a place to run and hide with my family while trying to maintain some or most of those basic freedoms.

A place where arbitrary laws written by boneheaded bureaucrats/politicians based on junk science (Note: vague reference to Global Warming here) would not get in the way of living one’s life to its fullest and highest potential a place where political machinations’ by evil men would not exist. (Look up “machinations” it’s a good word to know these days)

Does this place exist?

Well frankly, NO.

There is no place that is a utopia, not yet anyway but I thought even with all its warts, it's left leaning President and the murderous revolutionary Che Guevara loving people, (not all ecuadorians like Che but enough of them do) Ecuador might be as close as it gets. (Che Guevara, the guy’s image you see wearing a beret, usually warn on T-shirts by miss-guided Idiots)

So, what have I discovered?

That my friend is the rest of the “Why did I come to Ecuador” story, stay tuned and stand up for Freedom!

P.S. I have recently learned the Ted Kennedy has left this mortal realm. At this time of remembrance of the life of Mr. Kennedy I would just like to take note and say: “This is the best thing he has ever done.” Adieu, Chappaquiddick Ted, Adieu. Che, Murderous Revolutionary>>>
