4 Cancer Tips - Kids' Book Promotes Obamacare

  LibertyNews.com

 
YOUNG WOMEN FACE AGGRESSIVE CANCER
PLUS: VIDEO REPORT ON OBAMACARE PROPAGANDA FOR KIDS 
+ + FROM GRASSFIRE'S HEALTHWIRE REPORT! + +
 
Hello, again, HealthWIRE Subscriber,

Based on these headlines, you may be asking two questions . . .
 

+ + How about some tips for all cancers -- not just aggressive ones in young women?
+ + Can't they just leave our kids alone and not lie about Obamacare with a school book? 


Yes, in response to the first question. I do provide specific "Take Action" tips for everybody -- in Wednesday's "Young Women Face More Aggressive Breast Cancers: 4 Lifestyle Factors."

To the second question: No, they can't allow children to form rational views of Obamacare from parents and grandparents like you!

That's why I've just provided a video blog on "Obamacare for Kids: Duping the Children." In addition to the video, there's also a quick quote from the book that really captures the bias woven throughout its 143 pages.

But let me tell you, as a subscriber, a bit more about Susan Dudley Gold's book, "Health Care Reform Act." Not surprisingly, Gold consistently allows President Obama to spout his usual tiresome blah-blah-blah. The other side, especially the Tea Party, is denigrated.

Gold appreciates that President Obama makes himself out to be the reincarnation of Teddy Roosevelt -- that's no great distinction given Teddy's left-leaning politics. On the other hand, Obama and his supporters always fail to mention that TR adamantly defended having a strong military, particularly the navy.Teddy was at least a true patriot.

So when Obamacare was in the legislative works, the President chimed right in:
Today we're on the doorstep of accomplishing something that Washington has been talking about since Teddy Roosevelt was president. And that is reforming health care and health insurance here in America.
That's simply bogus history. There was, in fact, no discussion in Washington of anything related to national health care during TR's entire tenure in the West Wing from 1901 to 1909.

Thereafter the liberal Republicans, led by Roosevelt, bolted from their affiliation to form the Progressive Party. Indeed, they did mention health -- almost as an aside in their 1912 party platform advocacy:

The protection of home life against the hazards of sickness, irregular employment and old age through the adoption of a system of social insurance adapted to American use.

Analysis shows that TR didn't even mention this one-line party plank a single time during the 1912 campaign. And Gold doesn't miss a beat in backing up the Obama mythmaking -- for the sake of the kids' education, of course:

Roosevelt's call for national health care, however, went unheeded for almost one hundred years--until March 23, 2010, when President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law.

Hurrah, Barack the Magnificient following in the great tradition of Teddy Roosevelt! Except the tradition doesn't exist.

Until next time,

Morning Briefing: This Thing On Still?

Morning Briefing

For March 1, 2013

Dear Friends,

This morning we all woke up and realized we are dead.  At midnight we starved to death, the plugs on our ventilators were turned out, airplanes fell from the sky, the TSA stopped administering prostate exams, and the only good thing is children were born because Planned Parenthood had no money to abort them.

That's right, today is Sequestration Day and we're all dead, dying, out of federal money, or in burning houses without firefighters, teachers, and policemen to rescue us.  The President said so.  We have to believe him.  Women and cowboy poetry hardest hit.

In all seriousness, for over a week the man has been campaigning with such hyperbole I've been expecting any day he'd claim sequestration would mean we all get E.D. (including the women) and the Mayan calender was only off by a couple of months.  The hystrionics have been ridiculous.  

Today the sun came up, you and I are alive and well, and the government, sadly, is still open for business.  Today, some Americans will get paychecks and taxes will still have been taken out and sent to the IRS.  We need to keep pointing that out.  Oh, and Republicans are, today, working on a deal to ensure Obamacare gets fully funded.

Good morning to you.

1.  House & Senate Republicans Set to Endorse and Fund Obamacare

You want to know why the left is more successful at politics? They are willing to move heaven and earth to create new dependency programs, despite the electoral risks. They understand that once the program is implemented, Republicans will never have the guts to undo it. And they are correct. Even some of our best conservatives lack the gumption to do what it takes to eliminate the worst program of all time – Obamacare.

In fact, House conservatives, not just the general rank and file Republicans, appear set to endorse Obamacare and approve its funding. Yes, even former Republican Study Committee ("RSC") Chairmen Jeb Hensarling and Jim Jordan along with present RSC Chairman Steve Scalise will do so, but I'm sure ACU will give them sufficiently high "conservative" scores to hide behind like they did with Mitch McConnell.

It's ironic to watch some of the real conservatives and a lot of the so-called conservatives get excited about the prospect of producing a balanced budget with healthcare entitlement reform. Do these people really think we will be able to reform Medicare, which is a wildly popular program, when they lack the testicular fortitude to pull the trigger on Obamacare – a program that is still unpopular?

Republicans promised to defund Obamacare. They lied. Now we are at the end of the rope. If we don't engage in a fight to the death over funding for Obamacare, it will forever be enshrined in the welfare state; it will forever relegate us to lethargic growth; it will forever make private healthcare unaffordable.

No – this is not one of those issues we shrug off and surrender due to an election. This is a fight we cannot lose because a majority of Americans still oppose Obamacare. This is a fight we must not lose or we'll be talking in 20 years from now how to muster the courage to implement minuscule reforms to this behemoth, the same way we are talking now about Medicare.

Next week, the House will be voting on the CR to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. This is our last best chance to defund this thing and ensure it never takes root. There's nothing more important to force a fight over than Obamacare. The fight over the sequester is already over. Take yes for an answer and move on.

Unlike some of the frauds in Congress these days and some real conservatives who have lost their testicular fortitude to fight, Reps. Jim Bridenstine (OK) and Tim Huelskamp (KS) actually take their campaign pledges seriously. They actually understand we are in a pitched battle for the future of the country, and they know the stakes of losing that battle. They have circulated a letter calling on Boehner to block all funding for Obamacare in the CR.

Now we will find out who is down for the struggle. Call your Republican members of Congress and ask them if they plan to sign this letter or if they'd like to participate in the decline of our country.

Republicans in the House are going to pass a continuing resolution in which they will endorse Obamacare and its funding. That is a fact. Congressmen like Jim Jordan (OH), Tom Graves (GA), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Mick Mulvaney (SC), Tom Cotton (AR), Raul Labrador (ID) and so many others conservatives will probably vote for the rule to ensure the continuing resolution passes, then vote against it on the floor to claim they really did not endorse Obamacare. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

2.  Google and Democrats deny that Google is helping Democrats

A couple weeks ago, I warned conservatives about Google's entanglement with the Left, and the possibility that Google could provide data intelligence to Democrats. Not the usual consumer data that everybody uses, but a level of real-time behavioral data far beyond what Republicans could ever achieve using available consumer data. That concern was dismissed as a conspiracy theory by some people.

The question isn't whether Google collaborates with Democrats, but how Google collaborates with Democrats.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

3.  Agenda: How Marxists Are Grinding America Down

Whenever I speak to groups about the state of America, the fight for her future and how to become a Force Multiplier, I am often critical of the fact that so many people on our side do not really understand the enemy we are fighting from within.

While I tend to focus more on the present hydras on the Left and what to do about them, a good history lesson is crucial in understanding that the organized war to destroy America really does go back nearly 150 years–all the way back to the 1880s, which is roughly the time Marxists began infiltrating unions in an attempt to take them over here in the U.S. [They have now.]

Nearly two years ago, I ran across a video called "Agenda: Grinding America Down." At the time, I wanted to watch it in order to write a review for the readers here at RedState. So, I ordered it. Unfortunately, as happens with about half the posts I'd like to write, it (and the video) got shelved–until about two weeks ago. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

4.  Fracking: Drilling Past The Myths

It's probably safe to say that most Americans are unaware of what the term "fracking" means.  If you've heard of it, the details can be hard to pin down due to the controversy surrounding the method of gas extraction.  With mainstream movies like Gasland and The Promised Land on their side, those opposing fracking have easily buried the truth below layers of myths.  Fortunately, as we no longer live in a time when Hollywood and the left are the only media outlets, understanding what fracking truly entails is not completely lost. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

5.  The Obamacare Fiscal Cliff

Obama claims that his tax plan would only increase the tax burden on those earning more than $200,000.  What the Democrats, the media, and even Republicans fail to mention is that there is another aspect of the fiscal cliff that will hit everyone.  A number of Obamacare's tax increases are scheduled to take effect in January.  These tax increases will be severely regressive to those at the middle and bottom of the income ladder, as they will engender a record spike in the cost of health insurance premiums. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

6.  Three Tools to Educate an Uninformed Electorate on the Fiscal Cliff

Over several months now, I have been devoting attention to the question of how conservatives can win both policy debates and elections, not by appropriating policies that Democrats advocate and putting a Republican stamp on them, but rather by educating Americans and converting those who don't already share our perspective to it.

My basic thesis is that we win by getting more people to agree with us (others would have us believe that we win by getting us to agree with more people).

In the last election, we saw a significant failure on this front, both with regard to our own nominee being less committed to both conservative policies and this effort than many of us would have liked, and with regard to the result (voters supporting the guy who ran on a platform of higher spending and more debt).

We also saw Republicans fail to use technology and digital communications mechanisms adequately to educate and persuade voters of the merits of conservative viewpoints, and then organize them to do the things necessary to win the election.

Now, we are engaged in a discussion surrounding the fiscal cliff where the emphasis in negotiations seems to be very much on raising revenues, and less so on spending cuts. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
