UPDATE: The Nightmare That Is The Senate Finance Committee Healthcare Proposal – RINOCare Gone Wild. This is an excellent example of what Pat writes in the letter below. Pay attention to what the Senate is doing right under our noses. It is important to understand what the Senate Finance Committee healthcare proposal means to you. Hint: it’s not good.

I only wish I had written this. The visceral distrust of the Republican Party and its seeming inability to pull itself together and align itself with the will of the country really comes through in this letter. The Bush years lead to disillusionment with Republicans, which led to an apathetic electorate and the subsequent election of Obama. This after the poor choice of Senator “you have nothing to fear from an Obama administration” McCain as the Republican nominee, his lackluster performance and absence of principled small-government policies during the Presidential campaign.

But every cloud has a silver lining, and the election of Obama and the enactment of his far-left agenda has galvanized the population – independents, conservatives, and even some liberals – to oppose Barack the Messiah at every turn, so much so that the sheen dulled on the shiny new car and no amount of waxing will bring it back.

Apathy morphing into strong interest combined with action and engagement is a good recipe for the country – unless you’re a politician. Because of the seismic shift in a now-awakened electorate, heads will roll come next November. However, some Republican’s are like children and must be constantly reminded and reprimanded until they get the point. That is preciously what this letter does (note this letter was written before the Van Jones resignation):

OPEN LETTER TO MICHAEL STEELE AND THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

On the first page of your website you have a section that says something to the effect, “tell me what you think.” OK, here it is. How much longer do “we the people” have to sit out here and wait for you to do something? Where is your voice? Where is your spine? Why does a talk show host/entertainer have to do your job? Where is the leadership of the Republican Party in Congress?

If the United States of America survives past 2009 it will certainly not be because the RNC and the congressional leadership stood firm and held news conferences and produced YouTube videos, to keep us, the citizenry informed. What a sad state of affairs when the media controls what we get to hear from you, the elected officials. Are you fearful of what they will call you? Have you no power? Do they own you?

The grassroots have been fighting since April to voice our opposition to what is happening in our government. We have held tea parties, town halls, rants in public places, we have all become proficient on Facebook, twitter, blogs, etc. We stay up most nights trying to Google information, watch Glenn Beck, read and re-read our constitution. We have been like blind people trying to put a puzzle together and now that we are succeeding in seeing what is being done to us, it’s a frightening thing. I can only speak for myself but there have been times in the last six months that I have to pinch myself and ask if I am still in my country.

We have spent time calling, writing, emailing, petitioning our elected officials and we are called un-American, terrorists, mobs, dangerous, right-wing extremists, kooks, etc. I don’t hear national voices calling the main stream media to task for attacking us. I have only heard of one congressman who is going to the Library of Congress before the session begins to look up information on “redressing of grievances”. Why hasn’t the entire Republican congress called a meeting to ask the same thing?

We begged the Republicans to stop cap and trade and they did not. I can’t believe that any thinking person would even be talking about trying to pass something as heinous as HR 3200. When I hear a Republican, especially McCain talk about tweaking the bill and then passing it, I want to scream! What could these people be thinking. The only thing that could help this bill is for it to be flushed!

Do you watch television? Do you watch Fox News? Do you watch Glenn Beck? I’m appalled that there has not been a movement from the Republican Party to impeach this man who is living in our White House. Don’t even try to tell me that we can’t do that. We must impeach him. Are you aware that Van Jones, the green job czar, whose organization, the Apollo Alliance wrote the stimulus bill and is receiving tax dollars to dismantle our country? Van Jones is a self-avowed communist! Those are his words. This man is an advisor to the President? How can that happen? How can any elected official stand by and let this happen? Who is representing us?

What about Cass Sunstein? This man is a fascist nut. Yes, I did say fascist. I’m sick of not being able to speak truths because we’re fearful of not being politically correct. Guess what? We are out of the p.c. closet. Sunstein is a proponent of the ‘nudge’ philosophy – Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Our decisions, our health, our wealth and our happiness. No thank you. This man thinks animals should have the right to take people to court??? This is not a fairy tale.

Now we hear that our internet may be taken from us through legislation. SB 773. Will this be carried out through martial law? I have not heard one Republican official say that they are not going to allow this to happen.

Are all the conspiracy theorists correct when they say that the Republicans are just as instrumental in destroying our country as the liberal fascist arm of the Democratic Party are?

The President is destroying the United States of America. If a Russian Professor can see it, and write articles about it, why can’t you? What do we need to do to start the impeachment process? I could list numerous other things that he has done that I believe are in direct opposition to our constitution but I don’t have the time or the space. You could contact Glen Beck, he will fill you in.

I am going to put this letter on Facebook, Twitter, blogs; I’m going to email it to every address I can get my hands on. I will send it as a press release to every media outlet I can think of and who knows, maybe one or two will print it. I’m going to send it to talk shows and I’m also going to email it to you. I certainly hope I receive an answer and if I do, I will also send that out to all the above mentioned sites.

Thank you for your time and I pray that God will Bless America.

Sincerely,
Pat Wright
Sealy, Texas

God bless you Pat Wright.

The Big-Business/Big-Government Conspiracy on Healthcare:

Our thanks to Dr. David McKalip for catching this website. It is the smoking gun of the big-business/big-government conspiracy taking place to shove fascist healthcare down the throats of the American public under the guise of a “bipartisan compromise”—RHINOCare (which we have warned about repeatedly on our website) [note to readers: I highly recommend reading these posts on referenced website].

The website he alerts us to (see below) is a veritable rogues’ gallery of the players who have been in the White House basement cooking up an extension of Medicare Part D (a Republican invention) to the entire healthcare system.

Dr. McKalip writes:

“Here is http://factsaboutreform.org/about.html

“They are running ads on CNN (it is hard to, but I am watching them) with eight wonderful benefits of insurance reform.

“Of course they don’t mention other things like rationing, higher costs, mandates, higher taxes, mandated unneeded benefits, forgoing food for health insurance and unfunded liabilities of subsidies as well as the failures in Mass.

“Now is the time for ads directed at the true target – insurance mandates.

Sigh. Will this unconstitutional shadow government building never end? Mr. Obama shows his true colors by choosing to ignore the Senates advise and consent roll in the Constitution, and they aren’t red, white, and blue. Note that I did not call him President. He has to earn that title from me and until he drops his Marxist worship he won’t hear it from me. Comrade Obama? Sounds more accurate: Out: Commie Truther green jobs czar. In: Union hack “manufacturing” czar. Anybody home in the Senate, or is it just too much work to do your friggin’ jobs?

Besides tacitly approving the prosecution of CIA interrogation operatives in the face of direct evidence that Enhanced Interrogation Techniques saved American lives, and the subsequent CIA director Leon Panetta’s profanity-laced tirade aimed at the White House, we now learn that Obama is planning on hijacking the meaning of 9/11. I guess the apology tour was not enough. After all, wasn’t 9/11 our fault? If you listen to our President, it sure seems like it. From Sweetness & Light (emphasis mine):

Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we as a nation draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy. Certain immediate lessons are clear, and we must act upon those lessons decisively. We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction.

We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.

Directly from the White House blog comes Green the Block. I spare my readers the nausea of listening to Van Jones. Just jump to around 6:30 in the video to hear for yourself. The blog post reads (emphasis mine):

“From policy creation to community implementation, the Green the Block campaign wants to see access and opportunity created for all Americans, to build prosperity and a healthier planet for future generations,” said Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr. of the Hip Hop Caucus. “The first milestone for Green the Block will be on our National Day of Service, September 11, 2009, where we will organize Green the Block service events around the country in coordination with the President’s initiative, United We Serve.”

More background from The American Spectator:

The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.

This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year’s election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it’s not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.

The administration’s plans were outlined in an Aug. 11 White House-sponsored teleconference call run by Obama ally Lennox Yearwood, president of the Hip Hop Caucus, and Liv Havstad, the group’s senior vice president of strategic partnerships and programs.

Yearwood, who uses the honorific “Reverend” before his name, has been in the news in recent years, usually for getting arrested. After Democrats took back Congress, the rowdy activist was handcuffed outside a congressional hearing in September 2007 when Gen. David Petraeus was to testify. Yearwood told the “Democracy Now” radio program that he wanted to attend the hearing to hear Petraeus give his report. “I knew that when officers lie, soldiers die,” he said.

On the Aug. 11 call, Yearwood and other leaders kept saying repeatedly that they wanted 9/11 to be used for something “positive,” “forward-leaning,” and “productive,” said a source with knowledge of the teleconference.

The plan is to turn a “day of fear” that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.

“They think it needs to be taken back from the right,” said the source. “They’re taking that day and they’re breaking it because it gives Republicans an advantage. To them, that day is a fearful day.”

A coalition including the unsavory left-wing pressure group Color of Change and about 60 far-left, environmentalist, labor, and corporate shakedown groups participated in the call. Groups on the call included: ACORN, AFL-CIO, Apollo Alliance, Community Action Partnership, Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, 80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs, Friends of the Earth, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Mobilize.org, National Black Police Association, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, National Council of Negro Women, National Wildlife Federation, RainbowPUSH Coalition, Urban League, and Young Democrats of America.

Color of Change is the extremist racial grievance group that isn’t happy that TV’s Glenn Beck did several news packages on Van Jones, the self-described “communist” and “rowdy black nationalist” who became the president’s green jobs czar after jumping on the environmentalist bandwagon. The White House may be behind a push to destroy Beck by convincing advertisers to stop buying time on his show. Jones was also on the board of the Apollo Alliance, a hard-left environmentalist group that is now running large chunks of the Obama administration. The group has acknowledged that it dictated parts of the February stimulus bill to Congress.

With the help of the Obama administration, the coalition is launching a public relations campaign under the radar of the mainstream media — which remains almost uniformly terrified of criticizing the nation’s first black president — to try to change 9/11 from a day of reflection and remembrance to a day of activism, food banks, and community gardens.

“The organizing term is to ‘go dark.’ You don’t tell the press, don’t tell people you think will tell the press,” said the source.

Of course, the annual commemoration of the 2001 terrorist attacks belongs to the entire nation, but President Obama and the activist left don’t see it that way. They view the nationwide remembrance of the murder of 3,000 Americans by Islamic totalitarians as an obstacle to winning over the hearts and minds of the American people.

“When you criticize them, they are prepared to say, ‘Did you want 9/11 to be another day of selling mattresses, like Presidents Day?” the source said. “They are truly trying to change the American mindset.”

They view Sept. 11 as a “Republican” day because it focuses the public on supposedly “Republican” issues like patriotism, national security, and terrorism. According to liberals, 9/11 was long ago hijacked by Republicans and their enablers and unfairly used to bludgeon helpless Democrats at election time.

MSNBC’s foremost left-wing bloviator, Keith Olbermann, summed up this ugly perspective the week after the Republican Party convention last year:

But 9/11 has become a brand name. A Republican campaign slogan. Propaganda of the lowest form. 9/11 has become 9/11 with a trademark logo. “9/11 TM” has sustained a president who long ago should have been dismissed, or impeached. It has kept him and his gang of financial and constitutional crooks in office without — literally — any visible means of support. “9/11 TM” has made possible the greatest sleight-of-hand in our nation’s history.

On Aug. 4, the White House offered a glimpse into its plans to desecrate 9/11 for political advantage. Jones appeared in a largely ignored 33-minute video posted on the official blog of the White House to discuss the administration’s plan to flush 9/11 down the memory hole just as it has tried to do by rechristening the Global War on Terror the “Overseas Contingency Operations.”

It is a shame only 14 Republican’s voted against this bill. Don’t forget to read Senator Jim DeMint’s principled summation on the Senate floor addressing the trouble with government-backed volunteerism in the previous link.

This bill is disgraceful and I find it a hard pill to swallow that a number of Republican’s voted for it, knowing the impact it would have on that hallowed day. I have to believe they were either unaware of the consequences or felt the day would never lose its meaning for most American’s. This is still a liberal initiated project and, as the above analysis indicates, they know full well what they are doing. However, I will never forget and neither should you.

In case you forgot Obama, let me remind you – there is a War on Terror, terrorists are bad, we need the CIA to protect us because you sure the hell aren’t, and 9/11 is a day of mourning, remembrance, and resolve. No matter how much you wish it were not so, there is nothing you can do about it. In this, you have no power – you can’t wish away reality. Got the picture yet? If not, keep on trucking down the road your on, because I love watching those poll numbers drop. What was that you said about empathy for terrorists again? Sorry, but I have no intention of showing empathy with the likes of the monsters that visited this horror upon us. If you wish to parade your brand of impotence for all to see, be my guest. I said you would be another Jimmy Carter and you are. Make no mistake, we know you have the power to stop the re-branding of this day. I suggest you use that power. Now.

Oof: 57% now oppose war in Afghanistan. This is directed to those 57%. Maybe you need to watch the videos above. But so what, it was only 3,000 or so people right? And don’t mind those soldiers who died protecting you. Nothing to see here, move along.

And wouldn’t it be great if Afghanistan turned into a terrorists haven again? Then they could take their time and casually plan and execute another attack; because Obama sure as hell is not going to stop them. He might blow kisses at them while pummeling our CIA into the ground, but that’s about all your gonna get from the Messiah. And wouldn’t it be great to be talking to your loved one on the phone as they bid you a tearful farewell with one final “I love you” escaping from their lips before their untimely death because you helped provide political cover for Obama to showcase his impotence for all to see? That is, if you’re loved one is lucky enough to have the time to make that call. Hell, I’d be so proud to be a part of this I would be telling the story for years.

57%? Really?
