Senator Landrieu Ignores The Big Bus She Threw The Rest Of America Under

In an emotional speech on the Senate floor, Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu defended her payoff of the $300 million of taxpayer funds for her state, in exchange for her vote for ObamaCare by saying she would "never, ever throw the people of her state under the bus."



Unfortunately, Ms. Landrieu seems clueless as to why there is so much anger in America over her particular case of bribery -- now commonly referred to as the Louisiana Purchase. It isn't because she didn't throw the people of Louisiana under the bus. She was just being their pimp. Instead, the anger is over the fact that she threw the rest of America under that bus!

The Labor Unions: A Very Special Interest!

Contrary to the precepts of all previous bankruptcy proceedings in the history of the United States, the United Auto Workers were given preference over both creditors and stockholders and wound up with an ownership interest in the New General Motors Corporation and a controlling interest in the new Chrysler (Click to See Full Story:" How the UAW's new ownership stake in GM and Chrysler will defang the union").

When California was trying to come to terms with it's budget problems, the option of cutting worker hours and pay may have been stifled by the influence that the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) had with this White House (Click to See Full Story: "SEIU May Have Pressured White House into Withholding Stimulus Funds for California")

When, hammering out ways to pay for the impending health care reform bill, union health care benefits would not be taxed while everybody else's would be (Click to See Full Story: "Union workers would be exempt from Dem health care tax").

Now, it appears that the AFL-CIO is pushing tax legislation through this all-too-friendly Congress (Click to See Full Story: "AFL-CIO, Dems push new Wall Street tax").

Lastly....Obama's words:

Global Warming Is Being Served Up Over Ice

All too often, we have all seen the same old scene being played out. Al Gore (figuratively) dons his not-so-little "Chicken Little" costume and begins running around and wildly screaming: "The ice is melting. The ice is melting."

As long as I can remember, the believers in Global Warming have been predicting the eventual sales of ocean front property in the heart of downtown Manhattan or at the foothills of the San Bernadino Mountains in Southern California. That's because they all believe that Global Warming will cause the unbridled loss of sea ice and it will flood the shorelines of America and the rest of world as the level of the earth's oceans rise as much as 30, 60, or 90 feet or more; depending on how outrageous the "warmists" feel that day and depending upon which flawed Global Warming study they most recently read.

For years, all those left-wing scientists of the Global Warming ilk have had their tape measures out, along with their mighty magnifying glasses, and they have measured every drip, drip, drip of melting sea ice around the world.They have sounded the alarms over the devastating floods that are "sure" to come. Then, the liberal news media gives them cover with op-ed's and news stories that support their predicted doom. Our nightly news teams will run stories along with videos of massive chunks of ice that are falling off of glaciers and dumping into our seas; even though these "ice events" have being occurring, over-and-over, for thousand of years.

Amid all these efforts towards their "hopeful" destruction of the earth due Global Warming, they seem to have a blind eye when the news is a lot more contrary to their ideological beliefs and their "Ice Is Melting!" rantings.

In reality, the sea ice, around the world, has returned to levels not seen since 1979 (Click to See Full Story: "Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979"). This is "the" report you will "never" hear or see on NBC/MSNBC or read in the New York Times. Instead, all you will ever hear is those stories that would "support" the ideological march to "Cap and Trade" and other clamp-downs on human activity.

Then, too, there was this little news flash that was published in April of this year: "Antarctic ice is growing, not melting away". Since Antarctica has 90% of the world's ice, you would have thought this story would really get some press. However, once again, it wasn't even reported by any of the major news media outlets of this nation; except, of course, by the chief political nemesis of Obama and the Democrats: Fox News (Click to See Full Story).

The "real story" is that these two stories tell the real truth behind the Global Warming movement. The fact that these stories of ice expanding are being ignored by the liberal media just shows that there is an ideological agenda being promoted and, that there might not be any real or immediate threat to humanity.

As I have said all along, it isn't really about the science. It's all about the environmentalists using CO2 and Global Warming as the tool to stop human activity and any further expansion into nature.

Even the health care bill in Congress has a Global Warming component. When I wrote "Is A Real-Life Soylent Green Society Just Around The Corner?", I was primarily talking about a green adviser to Gordon Brown, Jonathon Porritt, in the United Kingdom who believes that the population must be cut in half to save the planet. But, since then, it appears that Obama has hired his own possible "Soylent Green" believing Czars: Anthony Jones, Ezekiel Emmanuel, Carol Browner, and John Holdren. Each of these people seem to have similar beliefs (more or less) that mankind should be controlled or even eliminated. And, all might have had some role in advising Obama and Congress on health care.

I guess I'm a little tired of the constant push by the left to say that Global Warming is a "settled science" and that there should be no further debate. But, as I pointed out above, nothing could be farther from the truth. The science clearly shows that nothing is "settled" on Global Warming.

Canada's Backlogged Health Care

I'm sure you've all heard the expression: "Necessity is the Mother of Invention."

Well, in Canada nothing could be more true.

Right now, there are an estimated 875,000 Canadians who are on waiting lists for critical medical procedures and testing that range anywhere from hip and knee replacements to heart bypass surgery. In fact, a person with a heart blockage could wait up to one year for something that, in America, would be done within a week to 10 days. Waiting a year for heart bypass surgery could literally be a death sentence if you are a Canadian.

The proof that Canada's government-run health care system is broken comes from a Canadian-based medical service group that was developed out of the need for Canadians to get immediate tests and care for critical and life threatening situations. The group is called Timely Medical Alternatives and here's their website: (Click to View). Their goal is to refer Canadians to private medical service providers so they can literally save their own lives. The people that are being helped by this group are all on weeks to year-long waiting lists for critical medical tests and procedures. Many are probably in pain while waiting for care.

Simply speaking, if the Canadian health care system was doing what it should do, people wouldn't have to seek private solutions and, in all too many cases, come to the United States to save their lives. They wouldn't have to spend thousands of dollars of their own hard-earned money to get the critical care they need.

Is this the kind medical care that you want for yourself and your family in this country? If it is, then you'll love Obama-Care. If it isn't, give your Congressional Representatives an earful. You're life could literally depend on it!
