*UPDATE*Bristol Tea Party and the Secret Service Incident- What I know Now..
There is a Story that has gone Viral on the Internet claiming that the Secret Service aimed their Firearms at the Protesters along the Presidential Motorcade Route in Virgina. Here is a Video from the event. Look for the Black SUV with the Windows down:
Here is the Picture Enlarged:
Here is that Picture Enlarged and Color adjusted so that you can see what is in the Back Window a little better:
As You can see, there appears to be something, but you can't tell what, it could be a Head. But after doing some research on the web, I found out that this SUV is a CAT Vehicle. CAT stands for Counter Assault Team.
Now I took a Screen Shot from that Video that included that SUV with the Windows Down, Here it is:
Here is the Picture Enlarged:

As You can see, there appears to be something, but you can't tell what, it could be a Head. But after doing some research on the web, I found out that this SUV is a CAT Vehicle. CAT stands for Counter Assault Team.
The Secret Service Counter Assault Team Rides in the President's Motorcade with the Windows down, back Hatch Window up and Assault Rifles at the Ready. Here is a Picture of How the CAT Team Rides in an SUV:
How do I know that is the CAT team? Well if you watch the Video, after the Black SUV with the Windows open goes by, you see what appears to be a Black Ambulance. But that is not an Ambulance, it is the Armoured Vehicle that belongs to the CAT team.
.
This Story has the Potential of being a Dangerous rally cry for Anarchists if Mis-Reported, which is why I wrote this Blog to help clear up what appears to be just a Misunderstanding.
.
The Real Question is, was one of the CAT actually Drawing a Bead on the Crowd? Unless we have a Picture that Shows that clearly, I have to say No. I am not calling people who say it happened Liars, I am saying I have to give the Benefit of the Doubt to the Secret Service.
I believe in writing an Article as accurately as I can and I am waiting for a reply from some of the Virginia Tea Parties. If it comes to light that someone has a picture of the CAT team actually aiming at the Crowd, then I will apologize.
But until then, Try not to Cry Foul.....Don't Get Too Upset...Yet..
Just call it what is appears to be at the Moment...
A Misunderstanding...
As I obtain more information I will Post it here, so Check back for Updates.
.
*UPDATE* 8/2/09
.
I have received several E-mail replies from several Different Tea Party Organizations in Virgina, and not one of them have heard of the Incident. I am waiting on replies from other organizations, so any new info I will post here.

Senator Feinstein's Office Calls Police on Elderly Constituents
It appears that Senator McCaskill's Office isn't the only Senator who has Staff that Call the Police on those they are supposed to represent.
According to an Article on the San Fransisco Chronicle, Senator Feinstein's Office called the Police on a group of Elderly Constituents who refused to leave the Office until they talked to their Senator. The Ages of the Citizens ranged from 55 to 87.
This event has ignited a Firestorm of protest on the San Fransisco Chronicles website. Almost all of the Comments side with the Elderly Citizens. Some of those Comments are listed below. Some are tongue in cheek....I hope...and Some are very Funny..
"progressive27/31/2009 8:13:22 AM
How dare these people expect an actual audiance with the Senator! They should be contemplating and seeking consult on how they can save their country's funds by crafting a low cost solution for their final exit."
"flounderx7/31/2009 8:04:35 AM
You do't know the whole story. One of them was lifting her walker and shaking it in a threatening manner...."
"goodncool7/31/2009 8:21:58 AM
WE the Boomers - in order to form a more Perfect Future for ourselves, our children and our Grandchildren hereby SERVE NOTICE - We will not be turned into Soilent Green by Universal Health Care - and we hereby RESOLVE TO REMOVE FROM OFFICE IN 2010 ALL WHO VOTE "YEA" on Universal Health Care and/Or Cap and Trade. We the BOOMERS HAVE HAD ENOUGH - SO HELP US GOD."
"lupe77/31/2009 8:16:23 AM
Our tax dollars pays her salary, her office lease, her staff members - WHY DON'T WE HAVE A RIGHT TO SIT IN THE OFFICE AND DEMAND THAT SHE SPEAK W/HER EMPLOYER'S.
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA WHO VOTED FOR HER ARE HER EMPLOYERS AND THE PEOPLE HIRE HER BY VOTING (NOT ME JUST THE IDIOTS LIBERALS IN YOUR AREA).
PEOPLE YOU NEED TO FIRE HER, PELOSI AND BOXER - STOP VOTING FOR THESE IDIOTS. "
As those in Congress Return Home from Washington for their August "Break", I think this story will be replayed Thousands of times all over the Country.
It appears that Americans, have Finally Remembered who is the Boss.....
And Who is the Employee...

The Video Department of the P/Oed Patriot, STLPATRIOT1, was tired and accidentally put Tuesday, instead of Monday. He will change it later.....need not worry, it is the Same Town Hall meeting as the First Video.

Obama Organizers Running Out of Money : Try "Unusual" Fund Raising Tactic
I checked my E-mail again..... low and behold I have received New Marching orders from the Obama Camp. It appears that they are so Frustrated with the Health Care Bill being Stalled and they are so Short on Funds, that they are attempting something even they admit is unusual. Well.....without Further ado...Here is the E-mail:
"You've probably seen the headlines: Opponents of change are doing everything they can to delay health insurance reform. As a Republican strategy memo concluded, "If we slow this sausage-making process down, we can defeat it."
They're betting that as time goes by, our energy will flag, our movement will weaken, and they'll ultimately be able to block any change.
But they just don't get it -- thanks to the regular Americans who are reaching out in neighborhoods nationwide, our movement is expanding every day. In fact, over the weekend, we surpassed our big goal of 1 million people taking action for health insurance reform. And with your help, we'll keep growing and prove that our opponents' strategy of "delay, delay, delay" simply won't work.
So I want to ask you for something unusual: Can you chip in $1 each day until we pass real health insurance reform? A huge response will show the insurance companies and their allies in Congress that their delay tactics will only make our movement stronger.
Here's how it works: We'll bill your credit card for 30 days' worth of donations now and once a month until the President signs real health insurance reform into law.
The cost of inaction on health insurance reform is astounding. Every day, 14,000 more Americans lose their coverage. Premiums continue to rise at three times the rate of wages. And each day, more small businesses are forced to choose between covering their employees and keeping their doors open.
But that doesn't stop our opponents from trying to bog down the process with legislative tricks. And at the same time, they're attacking the President for "moving too fast," even though Washington has been talking about the need for comprehensive health insurance reform since the days of Harry Truman!
What they don't realize is that outside of Washington, our campaign keeps growing. We've reached our "million" milestone, but the stories behind that number are even more impressive: grassroots press conferences with small-business owners in Missouri, more than 1,200 people at an organizing meeting in Minnesota, huge events outside local Senate offices in Florida, and so much more.
That's why our dollar-a-day campaign is so important: If the few senators and representatives who are opposing reform understand that dragging their heels makes us stronger every day -- and that the grassroots pressure on them will increase -- they'll be far less willing to keep slowing down the process.
Can you help? Please donate $1 per day until we pass real health insurance reform:

The P/Oed Patriot Has Had Another Government Visitor
It appears, for some reason, that I am becoming very popular with the Federal Intelligence Agencies. I guess it's a Good thing that they are doing their Job, even if they need Help setting their Priorities, lol.. But yesterday I had not one, but three Visits from Home Land Security(DHS) on my Blog. I guess they don't like being made fun of.....lol
Anyway, here is the Screen Shot from my Analytics program:
Well that makes the Pentagon, Army Intelligence, Naval Intelligence and now Home Land Security......all for little old me. Sad Really....
Because it appears even the DHS computer system can be tracked with a simple Marketing Program. You would think that the Internet Security Czar would have Fixed that Problem by now.....
Oh well...I forgot my manners.
HELLO TO THE DHS!!!
I hope I don't bore you....but at least if you continue reading my Blog you will be very well informed.

*UPDATE*How Cash For Clunkers is Behavioral Economics at Work to Force You into a "Smart Car"
Cash for Clunkers is a Government Program, based on Behavioral Economics, that will eventually force you to Buy a "Smart Grid Compatible Smart Car".
By Definition, Cash for Clunkers is a New Government Program that will:
"promote the replacement of old vehicles with modern vehicles."
So this Program is to use Behavioral Economics (A Form of Control to Force an individual to Change their Behavior, while making them think it was their idea. To read more about Behavioral Economics Go To:http://poedpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-government-controls-your-actions.html) in order to make you want to turn in your Perfectly Drivable Car(that gets 18 Miles to the Gallon or less) in exchange for $4,500 and on the conditions that you buy a "More Fuel Efficient, Government Approved", Vehicle.
So, one Day you take your Perfect 2008 Drivable SUV, Trade it in on a Government Approved car like a Chevy Aveo(Which explains the Giant Lot full of Chevy Aveos I saw the other day, all of them white) and in return you get $4,500 dollars. Not Bad right? How can that "Force" you to eventually buy a 'Smart Car"?
Easy...
First, after you turn in your 1 year Old(25 Years or Newer on the day of the trade in) SUV, then the Dealership has to take it in the Back, pour Sodium Silicate into the engine of your Nice, Perfectly Working SUV and make the Engine Seize up. The Dealer has to Destroy your Perfectly running, 1 Year Old SUV, because the Government says so.... Wow, isn't that nice...
But won't that Just fill up the Junk Yards?
No...
Because the Dealer must then sell it to a Government approved Disposal Facility where they will then remove any usable Parts(if they can sell them in 6 months) and then Crush your 1 Year Old SUV into little pieces of Fist Sized Metal that will then get shipped to China. And then your SUV can return to the U.S. as a Toy for your Kids, that will be painted with Lead Paint...
Still don't see how that Makes you Buy a "Smart Car"? Ok..
By the Government taking Gasoline Engine Cars off the market by Destroying them, it will Dry up the Used Car market and Force up the Price of Existing used cars. Which will further Encourage people, who can't trade in a Vehicle, to Buy a new Government approved, Government Built Car, since they will be Cheaper than anything else on the Market(Because the Government can Fix the Price without worrying about Profit). Besides they'll tell you it will save the Planet and you will feel all Warm and Fuzzy on the inside. But that is not all....
Also by the Government Destroying the Cash for Clunkers Cars, they are removing Parts from the Used Car Parts Market as well. No more Rebuilt Parts, Engines, or going to the Junk yard for Parts, because it will be a matter of time before the Government either Forces Salvage yards to "Destroy their Vehicles", or just pay them outright to do so. They will also restrict the manufacture of New Parts for Vehicles that are considered "not Green" enough due to their Gas mileage. Thereby eliminating the Parts Supply for all Gas Guzzling Vehicles and Leaving Nothing Available but the Government Approved, Government Built "Smart Cars".
They will Force you to Buy a "Smart Car" because eventually there will be No Other Choices.....
And that "Smart Car" will have to be plugged into the "Smart Grid" in order for you to Charge it, thereby giving the Federal Government the Power to Tax you by the Mile, Limit your Driving by Slapping Cap and Trade restrictions on your CO2 Output and by using something like On Star(since the Government owns it now through GM), to be able to tell them where you have been, how far you have driven, How fast you drove to get there, how many people where in the car when you went, be able to Shut Off the Power to Your Engine and even be able to tell if you were wearing your seat belt at the time.
Yep...Just a big Conspiracy Theory....
One Problem..
When the Government actually Executes the Theory(like it is now)......It Becomes fact....
Damn...alot of People Hate those facts....

Home Land Security Needs Your Help...To Figure Out It's Priorities?
Do you know what the Government Should be Protecting us From? Do you know what Threats the United States is facing? Do You Know What Awful Terror Groups are Trying to Destroy Our Country? You Do?!?!?! Well then Call up Home Land Security because they are Clueless!
In what has to be the Saddest Article I have ever seen, according to the White House Blog, Home Land Security Needs Your Help!
The Opening Sentences on this Brain Trust Disguised as an article says:
"What do you think our homeland security policies and priorities should be? Register now to have your say"
I'm Sorry???!?!?!?? Home Land Security the Government Agency that is supposed to Keep US Safe Wants ME to tell it WHAT TO LOOK FOR?
Well Actually they are asking alot of People for "Help" setting Priorities:
"DHS encourages participation from the homeland security community, all levels of governments, academia, private sector, law enforcement, first responders, and others interested in this topic."
Wow...So DHS(Department of Home Land Security) Needs participation from all levels of Gov, Academia?? (College Professors, really?), Private Sector? ( They say the Private Sector can't run the "Free Market", but somehow they know about how to Prioritise Terror Threats?) Law Enforcement(Duh), First responders, and OTHERS????Interested in this Topic? ( Like Who..Granny sitting in Her Rocking Chair Reading Tom Clancy Novels?) To Help Set PRIORITIES?
WOW....We are talking about SECURITY PRIORITIES....... NOT BUILDING A Freaking PARK....
Maybe they should just set the Threat Level to "Clueless"......what color would that be...an empty void?
And we Wondered why they keep telling us that it was just a matter of Time.....Because DHS Doesn't seem to even know how to set a list of Priorities...Holy...Cow..
But DHS sure seems to think that it needs to watch "Right Wing Radicals" that carry "Don't Tread on me Flags"..but beyond that They are Lost.....

Russia Signs Deal With Cuba to Drill for Oil in The Gulf Of Mexico
According to an Article on the BBC, Russia has just made a Deal with Cuba to allow them to drill for Oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
In return for Cuba allowing Russia to Drill off their Cost:
"Russia has also granted a loan of $150m to buy construction and agricultural equipment."

Attorney General Says He Fears "Americans Becoming Radicalized and Turning to Terrorism"
Now this is an Article from ABC News and most of My readers probably thought, from the Title, that this Article was going to talk about Radicalized "Right Wingers", but it does not. The Story refers to "Home Grown Terrorists" and those that support "Terrorists Overseas". As if that hasn't been a concern since 9/11, which in my mind, makes the content of this Article Suspect.
Why? Because the First Part of the Article discusses People who leave the Country, get trained by terrorists, then come back in order to do people harm. Which we should all be worried about. But what makes me suspect of the True intentions of the Article is the Second Half when the Attorney General talks about Race.....
Why in an interview about Home Grown Terrorism do you bring up Race? Unless, in a round about way, you are attempting to link the Fear of Radicalized Americans to the 3 Reports that Home Land Security released warning about "Right Wing Extremists" being Racists or belonging to White Supremacy Groups? For me, an Article to Jump from one Subject and then Appear to jump to a Completely different topic, and to assume that the Author is not trying to connect both topics in some way is odd.
But then Again....Maybe I am Projecting too much....
But Read for yourself and you decide.....

10th Amendment Under Attack Again: Senate looking to Force States to Ban Texting While Driving....
According to an Article on FoxNews.com, the Senate is looking to pass a law that will force the States to make Texting while driving Illegal. The Federal Government will do this by denying Federal Highway Funds for all States that refuse to Ban Texting.
Even though Texting is already banned in 14 states and the District of Columbia, the Senate seems to think that they know better than the constituents in the individual States.
This is another example of the Federal Government, and Congress, trying to supersede the 10th Amendment by using Law, intimidation and even Blackmail.

Communist Party Encourages Madonna to Sing Songs of Communist Revolution and Advise Her Not to "Shake Her Butt"
According to an Article on Pravada.com, the Communist Party in Russia has some Words of Advice for Madonna during her August Concert in St. Petersburg Russia, Don't Shake your Butt and Sing some Communist Songs.
The Communist Party says that the the Palace Square, where Madonna will be performing, has a Rich History:
"the Palace Square was the historical center of the world’s most beautiful city, but also the place, “where the Great October Socialist Revolution, the siege of the Winter Palace and the arrest of the cursed interim government took place.”
So because of this Rich Communist History, the Communist Party wants Madonna to sing the Revolutionary Song- La Marseillaise. But the Communists don't just want her to sing the song acting just any way she wants, they want her to:
"not wiggle your butt here,(not) wear provocative costumes and (not) do the poll dancing. You have to look unpretentious, sing melodically and mind moral norms. Be as successive as you were before. You compared McCain to Hitler, you criticized the war in Iraq and praised Martin Luther King. There is only one step that you should make to sing songs of the revolution. And we will come to your concert, if we have enough party dues for that."
To top off the List of Requests they want her to wear a Cute:
"Russian sailor’s hat, a sailor’s jacket, a striped vest and, of course, the red flag of labor."
Wow....is Pravada Sure this isn't a request from Congress?
Oh wait....I'm Sorry..How silly of me...
Congressman would Want her to Shake Her Butt......

Senate May Remove the Public Health Care Option from Bill
According to an Article on Reuters, Many Democrat and 3 Republican Senators are supposedly close to a Health Care Reform Deal that will not include President Obama's "Public Health Insurance Plan".
The New Plan, would substitute Non-For Profit Cooperatives in Place of the Government, in order to "Drive Down Costs" through Competition with Private Insurance Companies.
According to Democratic Senator, Kent Conrad, the Government will :
"provide about $6 billion in start-up money to help healthcare cooperatives meet reserve requirements. Any co-op would need about 25,000 members to be financially viable and about 500,000 members to negotiate competitive rates with providers"
My Question to Mr. Conrad is, instead of the Government fronting the money for start up(which would essentially give the Government control anyway) then why don't the wealthy Politicians that support this Bill Front the Money. If it is such a Good idea, then why would they fear investing in what they claim is a "Sure Thing"?
But what I find Humerus is that this Bill would appear to allow Congress to keep their own Health Care....lol
But what the Article doesn't discuss is if the "Mandatory" part of the Bill has been removed or not, I am guessing Not.
I really don't see to much of a Difference from the First Bill to this one.....
All they are doing is changing the Window Dressing by Changing the Wording...
It's still the same Crappy House.....just Prettier Curtains...

New Marching Orders on Health Care to Obama's Internet Army
I meant to post this sooner, but it slipped my mind. So without Further ado, here is the President's New Marching Orders about Health Care Reform for his Internet Army via Mitch Stewart.
"Last week, Republican Senator Jim DeMint tried to rally our opposition by declaring that stopping reform would "break" President Obama. Instead, hundreds of thousands of you rushed forward to stand up for enacting health insurance reform this year.
Then last night, the President delivered a powerful prime-time address about why further delay is simply not an option, and even more support came pouring in. (Watch the highlights here).
Now, we're on the brink of a major milestone in building this campaign: One million Americans publicly declaring their support for the President's three core principles for health insurance reform this year.
Our goal is to reach the one million mark before Congress casts the first crucial votes as early as next week. This is just a first step of many we'll take together. But it will send a clear message that the American people will not stand for playing partisan politics with our lives and livelihoods -- and that we won't settle for anything less than the real health insurance reform America so desperately needs this year.
Add your name to stand up for the President's three principles for real health insurance reform in 2009.
Adding your name right now will have real impact. Not only will you help us hit this key milestone, but we'll run the signatures we collect in local and national newspaper ads and present them in powerful displays at high-profile local events across the country in the crucial days and weeks to come.
We're so close to a million because volunteers all over the country are reaching out online, door-to-door, on the phone and at public events in their community. And every time a new supporter stands up with the President, they in turn reach out to others and the movement grows.
Less than three months ago, OFA launched our campaign for health insurance reform. In that short time, hundreds of thousands of Americans have joined in by:
*sharing a personal health care story
*calling their representatives
*going door-to-door talking with their neighbors
*calling neighbors in all 50 states
*publishing letters to the editor in local newspapers
*donating
*hosting or attending a local event, and much more.
For Republican leaders and special interests, the health insurance debate may be a political game. But for millions of American businesses and families, the cost of inaction is economic ruin and deteriorating care for the ones we love. Out-of-control health care costs are breaking the budgets of families, businesses and government -- and every day that Congress refuses to act, 14,000 Americans lose their coverage entirely.
We're working so hard in every part of this country because we understand -- this is no game. Add your name to help us reach one million public supporters this week, and join in this effort to reform health insurance in 2009:

Pictures of Claire McCaskill Town Hall @ St. Louis Community College
These are Pictures I took while at the Claire McCaskill Town Hall Meeting on Monday Night. Several of the Later Pictures were taken by a Young Man named Kirby.
This is the Room that the original Town Hall Meeting was to be held in, when we were expecting only 150 people.
.
.
These 3 Young People, pictured below, belong to one of Al Gore's Climate Groups, which one I can not recall.
.
..
This Room Filled up fast so we were forced to go down the Hall to the Cafeteria.
.
. .
This is a Picture of the 1000+ People that had to move to the Cafeteria so that we would not violate the Fire Code.
.
..
Below is another Picture of more Al Gore People. They totaled about 20-30 Maximum.
.
..
Local Channel 5 News Crew.
.
..
One of many standing ovations that night.
.
..
The Woman in the White Shirt just finished her speech and was walking over to the Young Veteran(Man in the Grey Suit) to Thank Him for His service.
.
..
I do have video Footage of the event. And we will be posting the First 10 minutes late Wednesday night. Check back later......

The United States is a Powder Keg, Just Pray Someone Doesn't Light a Match...
The Town hall Meeting with Claire McCaskill's Representative last night really emphasised one thing in my mind, Large amounts of People are enraged and it wouldn't take much to set them off.
Gatherings across the Nation, like Tea Parties, have taken place for two reasons:
1. People are Pissed Off
2. People Fear and Mistrust Their Government
There has been only 2 times in the History of this Nation where a large segment of People were so filled with Anger and Feared their Government to this extent, The American Revolution and the Civil War.
What those on the Left fail to realize is that the Anger expressed by people today is not Generated by Hate, like their Anger was at Bush, but is Generated by Fear. The combination of those two emotions, anger and fear, form to create a very dangerous Powder Keg that has a Hair Trigger. Every piece of Legislation that Congress Chooses to "Push Through" or every report that is released calling these Citizens "Domestic Terrorists", will just add fuel to the Fear and give credence to their Feelings which will increase the tension on that "trigger". But unfortunately, those in Washington are so blinded by their ideology that they don't see the Giant Keg sitting on their lap, looking for a reason to go off.
All it will take to set alight this Keg is for one of those Angry Citizens to snap or for a nut to Do something , Very, Very Stupid. If the Government Overreacts to any such event and is forced to crack down on the population as a Whole, or just the sections of people they believe to be a threat, then the Keg Will be Lit.
As the Government is forced to take action, action that many of the Non-Violent but Angry Citizens see as a Further reason to Fear, then those who would normally have not taken up arms, will be forced with a Choice...to Rise up or Roll over. In this atmosphere of Fear and Anger, more are likely to Rise up...rather than to be trampled on further by what they perceive as a Danger to their Liberties. That is when the Keg will explode.....
This is the State of Tension we find ourselves in here in the United States, but too many dismiss it as "Politics as usual" or account it to a "Sore Loser mentality". But those people are blinded by their own bias and choose not to see it or just dismiss it.
Those Citizens that expressed their anger last night at the Town Hall meeting were Not Activists, but bonafide Angry and Afraid everyday Citizens. They were not bused in or Forced to be there, over a thousand people drove from far and wide to express the emotions that can only be truly felt in a face to face meeting.....
Let those in the Government take Notice.....People are Angry and Afraid....and they number by the Millions...
The only way to subdue them.....is to stop yourselves...step back and take a Breather...for a Few years.....Do Not Let These People Feel they are Backed into a Corner....
Because, God Forbid, this Keg Goes off....it will not just Destroy one "party" or the Other....
But the Entire Nation.....

Politician wants Government to Dictate Wall Street Pay to Curb "Inappropriate Risk"
According to an Article on Fox News.com, Barney Frank, Senior Democrat in the House, wants to Ban Bonuses and Salaries, for those that work on "Wall Street", that encourage "Inappropriate Risk".
What Mr. Frank considers "Appropriate Risk" is not specified....
But I am Sure "Inappropriate Risk" is construed as "Anything to do with the 'Free' Market"...
Because everyone knows that the Government Never takes an "Inappropriate Risk"....
Like rushing 2000 Page Bills Through Congress........With Out reading them....

Fat? Drink Soda? Then You Need to Pay for Health Care..
In a country where it's Citizens are quickly losing their Freedom, even the Freedom to be Fat, the Centers for Disease Control(CDC) has recommended that a Tax be put on Soda to help pay for Health Care and to curb Obesity.
According to an Article on CBS News.com, the CDC has said that:
"increasing the price of unhealthy foods "would be effective" at combating the nation's obesity problem."
Not to mention that the Tax could also be used to Pay for the Government Insurance Plan that is currently tied up in Congress.
In Countries that have Universal Health Care, Freedom takes a back seat to what the "State" deems a "Healthy Lifestyle". In a Truly Free Society, one would have the Choice to live a Healthy or Unhealthy Life as you Choose, but you would be forced to live with the consequences of your actions. Under a Centrally Government Controlled Society, the Government decides what is best for Society as a Whole and Forces all to comply with the Government Mandated Lifestyle. If one Refuses to "Fall in Line", then the Government refuses them Health Care based on the fact that the person lives an "Unhealthy" Lifestyle. In Some Cases, the Government will even refuse Life Saving Treatment of the Individual for the Sake of the Betterment of Society.
A Case in Point, last week a 22 year old Man was denied a liver Transplant in the UK by the Government run Health Care, due to the fact that he was an Alcoholic, and Died. The Fact that the Man had Joined AA several weeks before was ignored by the Government Health Care Department, since their reasoning for the Denial was based on the Fact that he had an Unhealthy Lifestyle and showed no signs of changing it. This is reminiscent of Hitler's attempt at creating a "Master Race". All who where not considered "Pure" where considered "Second class Citizens" in Society or sent to a Camp to be executed.
This is why the Government has been pushing Smoking and even being"Fat" as something Unhealthy which should be looked down upon. It is the Federal Government's attempt to Dehumanize a segment of the Population so that they can then be exploited without Protest from most of the Citizenry.
Under the Constitution, you are Free to Smoke or Be Fat.....
But then again...the Constitution doesn't seem to apply.......anymore.

1000+ P/Oed Citizens Show For Town Hall Meeting With McCaskill Representative
In what has to be described as one of the most emotional displays I have ever witnessed, at least 1000 Angry Citizens Fell upon the St. Louis Community College, at Forest Park, for a Town Hall Meeting about Health Care Reform. A Representative from Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill's Office was present to Hear Citizen's concerns.
At First, the Meeting was expected to attract about 150 People and to take place in a Room that held a maximum of 250. But due to the Sheer Number of People, the Town Hall Meeting was moved down the Hall to the Cafeteria.
The Meeting began with a Small Introduction from the Moderator, followed by the Senator's Representative describing the Format of the Meeting which was accompanied by angry Shouts and Jeers from the fuming crowd.
About 50 Citizens , who were against the proposed Health Care Bill, stood in Line to air their Grievances at a Microphone placed in front of the Crowd.
One Person after another, gave an impassioned speech about the Unconstitutionality of the Proposed Bill while pointing out the Fallacies of such legislation which was accompanied by Loud Cheers and Shouts from the enraged crowd.
One of the most emotional displays was given by a Young Man who was hearing impaired. He explained about the cost of the implants in his ears and his fear that, under a Government Plan, he would not be considered "Worth Helping" due to his handicap and the Cost of Treatment. As he completed his narrative, the Crowd resounded with Loud Applause and a Standing Ovation.
The Night was a Roller Coaster of emotion which almost came to an Explosive Head when the Moderator was forced to stop the Meeting, due to a time overrun, and to allow those with an alternate point of view to have a say. Those against the Bill that did not get their turn at the Microphone, were taken into a Room in order to put their Grievances on video so that then the Video Footage could be hand delivered to the Senator.
The Meeting ended Peacefully after those that supported the Health Care Reform finished with their Comments. The Hour Long Town Hall Meeting ran just over 2 Hours.
I have been to many Tea Parties in St. Louis, but this was my first Town Hall Meeting and I must say..Wow.
If other Town Hall meetings around the Country are anything like this one, then the Politicians in Washington are Going to Have an Ear Full when they come Home on their August Break.
God Help them....
Because the People...Sure as Hell Aren't...

As he completed his narrative, the Crowd resounded with Loud Applause and a Standing Ovation.
The Night was a Roller Coaster of emotion which almost came to an Explosive Head when the Moderator was forced to stop the Meeting, due to a time overrun, and to allow those with an alternate point of view to have a say. Those against the Bill that did not get their turn at the Microphone, were taken into a Room in order to put their Grievances on video so that then the Video Footage could be hand delivered to the Senator.
The Meeting ended Peacefully after those that supported the Health Care Reform finished with their Comments. The Hour Long Town Hall Meeting ran just over 2 Hours.
I have been to many Tea Parties in St. Louis, but this was my first Town Hall Meeting and I must say..Wow.
If other Town Hall meetings around the Country are anything like this one, then the Politicians in Washington are Going to Have an Ear Full when they come Home on their August Break.
God Help them....
Because the People...Sure as Hell Aren't...
