Virginia’s Democratic-controlled state Senate passed measures Monday that would make it illegal to require individuals to purchase health insurance, a direct challenge to the party’s efforts in Washington to reform health care.

South Carolina, and Tennessee are states that are considering making amendments to their constitution that would exempt them from any nationalized Health Care.

How about the loons in our State Legislature? Do you think Beverly is going to follow suit?

Hey folks this is a couple days old but check out what NC “educators” are going to do. Read part of the story here and the link is included to read 1 op-ed on this story.

The idea has conservatives up in arms because, as it exists right now, the plan would have 11th-graders study the nation’s history from after Reconstruction Era to the present day, from 1877 forward. In other words, no founding fathers, no Monroe Doctrine, No Louisiana Purchase, no Civil War.

Currently, 11th-graders take a survey course that covers the country’s entire history.

The plan would have 7th graders take a comprehensive U.S. history course. Right now, middle-grade students study world and North Carolina history.

Public school officials say the end result would actually be more U.S. history instruction, not less. The intent, they say, isn’t to focus less on the founding fathers and the ideals that led to America’s founding, but to provide in-depth study of larger themes. Read the rest here.

Maybe our president, congressmen and women, state and local “leaders” need to watch this video to remind them what the government should be doing and more importantly should NOT be doing. Remember these as a kid? I certainly do and maybe they should re-run these.

Obama comes into office and Ted Kennedy sees his Government Run Health Care dream finally possible. Al Franken, embarrassingly,  gets sworn in the Senate to give it a super majority. So they begin, with a tingling feeling in their loins, to put together all the goodies that they call Health Care Reform. Reform that has no hope of reforming Health Care, there is nothing about insurance crossing state lines, about tort reform, etc. It was just a way for these stinkers to try and take more control of our lives. And with the help of their little minions Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid they pushed it though, made back room deals, defied decency and possibly the Constitution to get the bill passed through both houses.

Then Ted Kennedy dies on August 25, 2009 and leaves his Senate seat open, luckily Massachusetts is corrupt enough and they bent a few rules to get a temporary Senator in there to help with the forcing of the Health Care Reform bill.

As public pressure mounts, Tea Party demonstrations increase, polls plummet, constituents overwhelming calls to congress, these nasty little people pushed forward anyway ignoring the will of the people they work for. They thumbed their noses at us and gave us the finger. After all what do we know? We are just the public, the little people. It looked like Health Care was going to be a gigantic change in our American way, with a very few ruling almost every part of the majorities lives. From cradle to grave.

But then the most unlikely thing happens, Scott Brown comes out of nowhere to challenge Martha Coakley for the Senate seat that Ted Kennedy held for decades. They believe this seat is sewn up and therefor they do very little to secure the seat, while Scott Brown quietly overtakes poll after poll. His platform was that of he will be the 41st vote against Health Care Reform, in short he will stop is cold in it’s tracks. Once the Democrats, or in this case Liberals, know what is going on it is too late. The people of Massachusetts finally give Washington DC the finger by electing Scott Brown and sending the message that they do not want government Health Care.

Looking back at the chain of events in retrospect and I have to believe there was something or someone at work that is beyond our grasp. This Health Care bill was a runaway train with little to stop it, short of a revolt on the city of DC (which may still have to be done in the future), the people spoke, wrote, emailed, yelled at their representatives and senators and still they were pushing forward. Then out of left field comes this diversion, I think that god just might not like what he sees happening in the USA and threw a wrench into the plans of those that want to be the ruling elite. Now I am not a holy roller but how else can you explain this? Sure anything can be proven or justified, but these events falling in this order is unlikely, to say the least. Therefore I believe we might have just witnesses Divine Intervention, after all for the majority of us the quote “In God We Trust” still is the basis for our beliefs, morals, and ideals and god does not leave behind those that believe in him.

Your thoughts?

Folks, we think it might be time to support a new system of taxation in this country. The FairTax is one of the options.

The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment.

The FairTax Act (HR 25, S 296) is nonpartisan legislation. It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax  administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.

The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
