Your Healthcare: Jeopardized

I must admit this up front: I am not a pauper.

I am not a bum or a sociopath or an excusionist or a tattoo’d POS or a deviant or an Alt-Lifer. I am an individual who has paid years and years into his own medical plan — for 30+ years. I have always been gainfully employed because I made sure that I was. I received no handouts.

Up to now, I’ve had some encounters with my health plan for various reasons. They’ve been there for me when needed. Yes, I’ve had to fight when necessary but not because my facts weren’t there; they became validated and then supported.

All in all, I’ve paid and received. Through Kaiser Permanente — one of the most stringent, oppressive, unforgiving and restrictive HMOs extant.

I’ll still take Kaiser over any governmental option “offered.”

And still, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still refuses to answer the Most Base of questions:

These are the people you would trust with, literally, your life in the balance?

Despite this, Lou Dobbs quit the Communist News Network (CNN). Did he perceive troubles in its immediate future? Is he prescient? CNN has already dropped to last place amongst the various cable news shows — despite its having invented the cable news show at least 20 years ago.

Pushing The Envelope, Part I: Parkour

Parkour, otherwise known as the art of French Free Running.

The human being has always pushed the envelope into and beyond the realms of danger. This is the first of three consecutive Sunday postings displaying how restless Man is with the mundane and how he purposely crosses the threshold into danger willingly — and sometimes unwillingly.

Isn’t it wonderful to be young? Give these guys another ten years and let’s see how wonderful their joints and bones are. Just when you thought some of the human stunts you’ve seen in movies were digitized, now you realize “that ain’t necessarily so.”

Again: Why American Media CANNOT Be Trusted

FOURTEEN DAYS after the release of the UK e-mails which are now called ClimateGate, and the American media networks of ABC, CBS, NBC have purposely not reported the story.

What further information does the public need in order to realize that the American Fourth Estate 1) does not wish to truly inform; 2) conforms to the most liberal of biases and 3) purposely excludes stories and information contrary to their pre-programmed Leftists agendas.

Why, then, should any American media interest receive even one dollar from the U.S. government when it is proven, again and again, that not only can’t they do their reporting jobs, they purposely withhold necessary information from the public?

Continentally, a US scientist says that, like the UK ClimateGate, NASA is withholding information about so-called Global Warming. NASA has repeatedly refused to honor FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests for two years.

The nation of India has already stated it will refuse to sign any agreement placing limitations on emissions.

The problem is that lots of people go around saying that the climate change we see is a result of human activity. That is a very dangerous claim,” Parliamentary Speaker and former Finance Minister Thor Pedersen (Lib) tells DR.

And finally, Nobel Prize winner Al Gore has canceled, at the last moment, his speech for the Copenhagen Global Warming summit on December 16th. Why?

Could it POSSIBLY be because he is ill-armed to verbally handle the confrontations or even questions logically to be asked but upon his presence on stage?

I submit: yes. He is petrified at having to answer even the most basic of questions from anyone with a curious mind.

Once again, Your American Media in the tank.
