What happened to Democracy or is it Demo-crazy?

What a greeting to a beautiful Sunday morning . . . Headlines blaring that the House has passed the first step in health care reform by a margin of five votes! I read an article on-line by the Wall Street Journal and they were running a poll. The vote was 69% AGAINST this type of health care reform! Most of the polls over the last few weeks have run in the same direction. What is wrong with our government representatives who have decided to use the votes that got them into office to propose their own, personal agenda? And, once again, the feminazi, Pelosi lied as I don't recall we had 72 hours since yesterday to read the proposed Bill. They are in the middle of putting a huge burden on the future salaries of our next generation yet show little remorse or forethought as all these people voting this into law will not have to be under the proposed plan.

I hope everyone takes note and lets their representative and senators know that the vote they are casting now will effect the vote we cast come their reelection years.

You have to wonder what is wrong with Pelosi and any other woman in office who agrees to a bill that could include abortion paid by everyone's taxes and rationed treatment for the elderly. Don't they have any womanly feelings for preborn children? They all have children yet they advocate the outright killing of them?

We have to be vigilant in this because IF this totally passes into law, the full effect won't be felt until AFTER obama's hoped-for reelection and then POW! They plan on this lull to see that he IS reelected. To me, this seems unconstitutional to MAKE everyone have the SAME insurance.

We do have prayer on our side because I get the feeling (trying not to judge here!) that many of those who voted last night don't deal in the Godly spiritual. Prayer is still a fight we can engage in and they can't outlaw that . . . although they may try!

Blending the seasons . . . to much . . .

I know the various stores are anxious about the economy but it is always so sad to see them rush the holidays ahead of time. It takes away the anticipation.

When I was growing up (just after the dinosaurs left the earth!), Christmas items started appearing in the stores a week after Thanksgiving. We didn't have time to lose the upcoming joy because of weeks and weeks of seeing Christmas products line the shelves right next to the day after sale on Halloween goodies.

I used to mark my childhood time by the store shelves. These days, the holidays practically pile on top of each other and blur our eagerness because we have already been watching the celebration wants and necessities gathering dust for weeks now.

Nothing much one can do about the current ways of the world at large. Guess I had better line up my New Year's champagne, cut out some Valentines, and get to hiding those Easter eggs. Time's a wasting!

Democracy at work . . . NOT!

The health care reform debate goes on and on. The aspect that appalls me the most is the way House Speaker Pelosi has used the democratic system to her benefit in order to be elected to a position of power and now abuses that power to deprive the American people of their say in the rest of their lives.

All polls show that most Americans do not favor the system for health care proposed and strongly supported by Ms. Pelosi. She, however, disrespects the concerns of the people and calls the ones who actively use their American right insulting names because they dare oppose a losing proposition.

An independent poll, that favored neither Democrats nor Republicans, showed the cost would be horrendous and tax the American people into the next generations. Pelosi and her cronies do not care. They want what they want when they want it regardless of the people who made the mistake of electing her.

History in other countries has shown that government-run most anything but especially health care does not work to the advantage of the people it is supposed to care for. Yes, our country could use some kind of reform but the arrogance of these politicians to think they can rush such far-reaching legislation into being within a few short months is shocking and pretty scary! They hardly represent the people who have the vote.

It is like these politicians are playing a huge board game and are using us for the game pieces, moving us here and there regardless of the rules. They are fine with this because the health care system they want to burden us with, will not be the one they have to contend with in the future. Their health care plans will not change and will probably be covered by our taxes, too.
