Fake Democrats working to sabotage Health Care
There are several old timer phrases that will fit what's going with the Democrats and Health Care reform in Congress......
“Give them a minute and they will figure out a way to screw it up..”
or
“Democrats, always ready, willing and able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory..”
That last phrase was used a lot in the past election...because even when it became obvious that Obama was going to win...Democrats were as always, their own worst enemies...
Today with health care reform...it's SOSDD...same old shit different day....
Every single poll out there says the people want health care, they need health care, they understand the health care issues being presented...
Yet, fake democrats, who are very well covered with Congressional health benefits, which we pay for, are working to sabotage the worker's health care reform, by watering down various proposals or talking against the public option...
These fools work for us..and it is time to call them on it....
Or maybe they don't really work for us....just because we elected them....So the question becomes..
Who is paying them...which insurance company is bankrolling the fake democrat's kids college education?
Who paid for the last vacation taken by the Congressman and his family or current mistress?
Who does the Congressman play golf with when he's not ducking votes on the floor in the Capital?
Which Big Pharmaceutical company employes which Congressman's kid as a consultant?
From what's been in the news lately, seems these fake democrats....starting with Tom Daschle, who we already know is bought and paid for....are attempting to kill the public option of the reform...
They say many things...It is socialism....it costs too much....it's not good for the people....
The truth is.....
Anything good for the people is labeled socialism these days...by idiots who don't even know what socialism actually is....somebody told them something in 7th grade government class and they've been running with it ever since..
Costs too much....yes, it will cost a lot...but it still won't cost what Bush's last round of tax cuts cost...
It's not good for the people.....In whose world?
The only people who don't stand to benefit are the health insurance companies, Big Pharmaceutical, and their fake ass political puppets who have been screwing us for years....collecting billions of dollars off our backs...
Count the kickback money paid by big Pharma to their Congressional puppets and the country could probably put forth a free health care system that nobody would have to pay for...
What is making me really steamed is these guys are hiding....They are refusing to talk about what it is they are trying to do...
If what they are doing is right....Then come forward and tell us about it...
They don't give a damn about the people who put them in office......
And isn't Congress Democratically controlled...the last time I looked the man in the White House is also a Democrat.....
Then what is the problem....are we still worried about phony bipartisan participation...are we worried about hurting GOP feelings if we don't include them in the decision making?
Michael Steele is trying to take the GOP hip hop...that means he wants to play by street rules...Okay..That means he has taken his boys to the mattresses and he will understand.....
In street rules....it's “us versus them”......
In other words.......”F*** the insurance companies....F*** Big Pharma......
And
F*** any Democrat who dares to stand in the way of health care reform with a public option..
In the street....if you have to choose between me and mine and you and yours...
It's always going to be me and mine...which is the way fake democrats are playing it with us, for years, by the way...
So they will understand when and if we decide to take them out, if they disappoint us again...
This is war...and if they want war....they got it...
It's time for Obama to turn into Nino Brown and put his Bill Cosby back in the closet.

Sunday Reading
Can you name the last 100 books you've read?
In this age of instant information, can you name the last book you read? Have you even read 100 books in your lifetime?
Maybe the better question is, when was the last time you picked up a book and read it cover to cover and it wasn’t a school book?
The New York Times today published a list of what it considers the 100 best books, both fiction and nonfiction, published this year.
I haven’t read any of them. I’ve heard of a few of them. I even plan to read some of them someday. But 100 books is a lot of reading, especially within one year.
I tend to buy books rather than borrow from the library for two reasons; I don’t like return deadlines and I have a problem with the Patriot Act, which allows the government to look over your shoulder when you go to a library (check out my archives). I do visit the library for the purpose of researching my family genealogy. But I haven’t checked out a book since my school days.
I also tend to buy two or three books at a time, and then read them when I have time. This means my house is piled high with books that I’m still working through.
Just looking around my sitting room, I am surrounded by the books I have earmarked for reading as well as the one I am actually reading. Well actually, I’m reading two at the moment; “Cross” by James Patterson and John Sanford’s latest mystery. Can’t remember the title of the Sanford book because it’s not a Lucas Davenport novel. The Davenport novels’ titles all are “something Prey,” as in “Mind Prey.”
Next on my list...one of Bill Cosby’s collection of essays on life...
three books by Chester Himes, including a collection of his short stories, also novels “A Rage in Harlem,” and “Cotton Comes to Harlem.” I’ve read “Cotton” before, and I’ve seen the movies based on the books..
James Thurber’s short story collection..
Two books by former Supreme Court Justices
and a book by John Ashcroft..
I still read several newspapers daily albeit via the internet, several magazines weekly in addition to the aforementioned books.
So, can I name the last 100 books I’ve read in my life...yes....can you?
No fair counting books you’ve read more than once, more than one time.
I’ll make it easy for you....name the last ten and email me...I’d love to know..

Why are We Mad at Bill Cosby
Can someone please tell me why we're mad at Bill Cosby. Did he lie? Did he stutter? Is he traveling the country using his bully pulpit to libel and slander Black people? Should we revoke his Black membership card for talking outside the group and spilling community secrets? Or are we just mad because he is telling the truth and "we" don't want to hear it?
Bill Cosby is traversing the nation, talking about the plight of the Black community in general. The lawlessness, the dropout rate, the illiteracy, and the overwhelming problem of babies giving birth to babies. No one is quibbling about what he is saying, just that he is saying it. Cosby is apparently fueled by the anger that a lot of us are feeling right now. Those old enough to remember a vibrant civil rights movement that won many of the rights and privileges that these young knuckleheads (Cosby's word) of today take for granted.
My niece graduated from high school this past week. She is an honors student, National Honor Society, in fact and headed to college on a full ride scholarship. I am so proud of this kid. While watching her make her first steps into adulthood, I looked over her graduating class. I didn't make a scientific head count, but it was obvious that for every male in that predominately Black school, there were three females. That night was a joyous celebration of achievement and promise by both the students and their families and friends who showed up to bear witness.
It was a scene that brought tears to my eyes for two reasons. One, my happiness for my niece and two, that not enough of our young people are finishing school, especially young men. For me, it was bittersweet. And don't think it's been easy for my niece. She comes from a fatherless home, raised by a mom with three other kids vying for attention. Even for us, who are solidly grounded in middle class, there is always struggle before achievement. But we are taught from birth to "not let them see you sweat." Our community seems to have given up. Those who can have moved on and out away from the problems isolating and insulating themselves in the suburbs.
Another comedian, Chris Rock, I believe, does a comedy routine talking about the difference between "niggas and black people." He says he doesn't mind living next to Black people, but he won't live next to niggas. We laugh as we get into our late model Lexus and drive 50 miles back to the burbs. But the truth is most of us don't want to live next to niggas either. We just don't want to openly admit it. We turn a blind eye unless somebody like Bill Cosby brings it up and begins painting everybody with a broad brush. Then folks want to get mad. Well, we should get mad, but not at Cosby.
We should get mad because of the violence that chokes our neighborhoods. We should get mad because not enough young men finish high school preferring to answer the siren call of the streets. We should get mad at the overwhelming number of young men, and increasingly young women, who are ending up in jail. We should get mad at the stupefying rate that young black women are getting pregnant. We should get mad at the unchecked AIDS epidemic within our community. We should be mad at ourselves but not Cosby, he is only the latest messenger.
The war is here folks, when are we going stop killing the messenger and wake up and fight?.
