Et tu, Stupak?

Today, the House Democrats passed Obamacare. The vote came down to what we thought was a pact of principled “pro-life House Democrats” led by Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan. We were deceived. Protecting unborn Americans came down to the wire, but it was a total betrayal to see Rep. Stupak cut a deal with President Obama and Speaker Pelosi to have that pro-infanticide duo oversee the protection of unborn Americans.

Announcing the agreement, Stupak said “I'm pleased to announce that we have an agreement, and it's with the help of the president and the speaker we were able to come to an agreement to protect the sanctity of life in the health care reform. There will be no public funding for abortion in this legislation.”

Really? You outsourced the protection of the sanctity of life to the most radical pro-abortion president in the history of our nation, and the most radical pro-abortion Speaker of the House—Planned Parenthood’s Nancy Pelosi? This is tantamount to the hen hiring the fox to watch over her eggs. You submitted the protection of the sanctity of life to these folks, the fiercest enemies of life? Stupak, you have betrayed the security of all the unborn and all life-loving Americans. We should have known from Ben Nelson that a moderate Democrat is an oxymoron. But we naively trusted you, and you betrayed us, even you, Stupak?

U.S. House Prepares to Vote on Health Care Bill

As I write this piece, the House of Representatives is debating the Senate health care bill in preparation of a vote later tonight. While the quality of the U.S. health care is the best in the world, there is still some opportunity to make some improvements.
The premiums are too expensive, and households can save some money on their monthly payments if the ban on interstate competition between health insurance companies is lifted. Secondly, people should not be dropped from their coverage when they get sick (or because of pre-existing conditions) after making their premium payments. Thirdly, my tax money should not be used to pay for abortion, the extermination of unborn Americans. It shouldn’t be a crime if I chose not to purchase health insurance. That is just plainly unconstitutional. These are the three main reasons why I oppose this bill.

Although majority of Americans are against this bill, the Democrats will likely pass this bill “by any means necessary”, because they have an overwhelming control of both houses of Congress. Therefore, the Republicans cannot stop this bill. Only the American people can stop this bill once the Democrats pass it.

I suspect we have not heard the last from the American people. They will speak to the politicians on the campaign trail, and on November 2.

Scott Brown's Victory Only a Foretaste of Things to Come

The Scott Brown victory on Tuesday, January 19, must be seen for exactly what it is, an epic symbolic revelation of where the country stands on President Obama’s policies. Massachusetts has historically led the country in preserving liberty for all. Also, Massachusetts has experimented with government controlled health insurance, and knows quite well, by experience, the reduction in health care quality and loss of personal liberty it provides. Therefore, when Scott Brown, who made opposition to Obama’s plan the principal pillar of his campaign, wins the Senate seat in a liberal state like Massachusetts, it is an incredible moment. Lastly, Scott Brown did not just win any Senate seat, Scott Brown won the seat occupied by the liberal icon Ted Kennedy for 47 years. I am 35 years old, and I have never witnessed a Republican Senator elected in the Tea Party state of Massachusetts.
If Massachusetts could say “no” to the liberal establishment by sending a Republican to the Senate, imagine what the rest of the country would do on November 2.

Republican Scott Brown Defeats Democrat Martha Coakley

Tonight, the people who brought us the original Tea Party, the people of Massachusetts, are leading the country by repudiating the socialist agenda of the Obama administration in 2010, sending us Senator-elect Scott Brown. This is a continuation of the movement which started in Virginia and New Jersey in November 2009. I am forecasting a political Tsunami for Nov. 2, 2010. I will be surfing its wave to shore. The socialist in DC will be swept away. Will you be surfing or will you be swept away with the Washington elites?

Maryland Case Study: Tax Increases Kill Revenue and Economic Growth

Liberals tell us that the government must raise taxes to increase tax revenue. However, this model can only work in the absence of competition. When Governor O’Malley of Maryland decided to raise taxes on the people of his state in 2007, he and his liberal state politicians were oblivious of the competition posed by tax-friendly states. O’Malley hiked sales taxes by 20% and vehicle titling fees on working families, raised taxes on high-income earners, and proposed massive government spending. As a result, Marylanders started shopping at neighboring states like Delaware, with zero sales tax. Also, those so-called “rich people” voted with their feet by relocating to other tax-friendly states. Ironically, there is panic in the state as income tax revenue is decreasing in Maryland with some localities now reporting up to a 65% reduction in revenue. This is a case study for the entire nation and a lesson for everyone that increasing taxes is inversely proportional to higher revenue and economic growth. If you want to stimulate the economy, cut taxes and watch economic activities take off.

Senator Mary Landrieu Has A Larger Freezer Than Rep. William Jefferson

$300 million secured Senator Landrieu’s vote on November 21 to move the health care bill forward. The only difference between Senator Landrieu and convicted Rep. William Jefferson (both from Louisiana) is that Senator Landrieu’s pay is coming from the American tax-payers (our money) and the amount is significantly larger. Jefferson in his appeal process should expose the injustice of the system—“She got more money than me, why isn’t she going to jail for at least 13 years too?”

Ted Kennedy was Pro-Life Before He Became Pro-Abortion

In a letter from 1971, Ted Kennedy wrote about his pro-life position, according to CNS News.
