$900 Billion - Like that is better

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/29/blue-dog-democrats-announce-deal-health-care-reform/
Watch out - Blue Dogs are crossing. Right now the House has the votes to pass the Healthcare Bill. $900 Billion instead of $1 Trillion.

This is bad.

Momentum

Deadlines are great. The pressure to complete a project and be held accountable is essential to running a tight ship. But those deadlines have to be attainable and reasonable. The deadline that President Obama placed on passing the Healthcare Bill wasn't attainable or reasonable. The current bill should make Americans nervous. Contact your Representatives, get a head start on your Senators, and don't forget the Blue Dog Dems - we need to keep them on our side of the fence.

Check out Just a Conservative Girl's Blog . Her letter to Fellow Patriots was mentioned in Politico and lists 55 Chief of Staff email addresses. Write, write, write! Keep the pressure on!

Confused...

I believe it was Einstein that said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Great quote, but I am sick to death of hearing it. Liberals continue to use it as justification for Healthcare reform. "We should just try it" or "You'll never know till you try". What reasoning! On second thought, maybe Conservatives should use that reasoning.
Healthcare reform perplexes me, frustrates me, and confuses me. Look at any Government ran program and tell me that it runs efficiently. Look at Medicare, Social Security, and don't forget the state ran programs in Alabama, California, Georgia, New York (just to name a few). All are funded by the government or State, and designed for children, 65+ individuals, the disabled, and lower income Americans. A simple Google search provides links to multiple free or cheap coverage plans for Americans (not ILLEGAL immigrants - go back to your country and rape and pillage it).
Why do Liberals want to create yet another government or state owned program? By using Liberal reasoning - Haven't we tried it? And clearly it isn't working. So why try it again? Isn't that pure INSANITY.
So let's CHANGE! Educate Americans on the programs we do have. Educate children on obesity, diabetes, cancer, AIDS, diet, exercise, and just general medical care. Really look at cutting the cost of Healthcare. Look into preventative care not reactionary care. Take the option of growing the government by establishing another government funded agency off the table!

I was called a Fascist this week....

People network in social and professional environments, hence the popularity of such sites as Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin. These keep us, as friends and colleagues, a click away from each other. I use all three sites on a daily basis and received my first official insult this week. The insults were just words and considering the source I am not offended, but the link he used to justify his claim left me utterly speechless. First, check out the YouTube link he provided and then check out the original article, sources, and a critique. I know what you are thinking, YouTube is a creditable source-why in the world did you ever look past that.

Original Article, Sources, & Critique

Being called a Fascist really got me thinking about the differences between our two main political parties. I think we can all agree it has moved past just the issues of taxes and abortion into a entirely new realm.

A Movement is Brewing!

One of my biggest complaints toward Conservatives is our complacent approach to winning souls. Being a "C" word sucks. Conservatism, for a lack of a better expression, just isn't cool anymore. If you are conservative then you fall into 2 groups. 1- Old White Men (OWM) 2-Wacky Christian Extremists (WCE) that believe everyone is hell bound-especially gay people -everyone knows how Christians hate the gays. I mean, really. This is our brand.
BHO being elected with the support of a Liberal controlled House & Senate is the best thing that could have ever happened to Conservatives. We were acting like an undefeated sports team going into the finals. Cocky, ill-prepared, expecting victory, blah, blah. Losing big is good for teams - it makes you wake up!
McCain's loss is turning into an overall gain. Independants are having their eyes opened. A movement is brewing: Tea Parties, Smart Girl Politics, 09.12.09 March on Washington, Freedom Works Foundation, Campaign for Liberty, and countless others! Check out BHO's poll numbers we are trending in the right direction!
Thank you to all the Conservatives that are fighting the good fight!!
