			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nancy Pelosi addressed the 2010 Legislative Conference for the National Association of Counties earlier this week. With her vacuous hyperbole, Pelosi confirmed, yet again, that she and Maxine Waters are cerebrally indistinguishable from cork. Being a fervid pursuant of the prodigiously stupid and the intellectually irrelevant, especially in Congress, I was once again surprised that I could be momentarily startled by any maniacal doctrine Pelosi or Waters verbalized.</p>
<p><span id="more-4253"></span></p>
<p>In one sentence, Pelosi transcended <em>everything </em>that has been written or spoken about the health care reform bill. All the conjectures, suppositions, conclusions, and interpretations could not summarize this bill, Congress, and Barack Obama more poignantly than the following first sentence of this paragraph of Pelosi&#8217;s speech:</p>
<blockquote><p>But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President’s economic stabilization and job creation initiatives were education and innovation — innovation begins in the classroom — clean energy and climate, addressing the climate issues in an innovative way to keep us number one and competitive in the world with the new technology, and the third, first among equals I may say, is health care, health insurance reform. Health insurance reform is about jobs. This legislation alone will create 4 million jobs, about 400,000 jobs very soon.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Create 4 million jobs, about 400,000 jobs very soon.</em> This is one of the oldest cons by the Democratic Party. This health care bill will not create one job now, nor in the future. When government pillages an industry of capital through oppressive taxation and regulation, resulting in layoffs or the financial inability to hire labor through a capitalistic eco-system of legitimate supply and demand, then redistribute that capital to another industry with an apocryphal job demand manufactured by the government, the end result is to have only shifted jobs from one sector to another, and by no stretch of the imagination should this be construed as creating jobs.</p>
<p>Put on a balancing scale, the dense weight of the intellectual, moral, and constitutional attributes of either Madison, Jefferson, or Washington, weighed against the inconsequential buoyancy of the immeasurable ignorance and degraded integrity of Nancy Pelosi, a more hackneyed and predictable result exists not.</p>
<p>Charles Krauthammer had an interesting assessment of Pelosi&#8217;s sentence:</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s getting wild and wacky when you hear the statement from the Speaker of the House. If I can give her the benefit of the doubt, what she probably intended — didn&#8217;t actually say (I&#8217;m not sure why I&#8217;m defending her here) — is that once you enact the bill people will see all the good stuff in it and then they&#8217;ll appreciate it and the negative public opinion on it will change.</p></blockquote>
<p>Surely, Krauthammer had his tongue pressed against his cheek, as he is wrong based on historical evidence, and his defense of a malefactor like Pelosi is out of character for him. Within the archives of Nancy Pelosi lies a lengthy exposé of an uncouth disposition, an indiscriminate ignorance, and a rapturous desire to alter the foundation of this country to mirror the decayed and decaying corpses of every failed socialist state that has tried to hope and change the world. So based on historical evidence, this one sentence defines Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party.</p>
<p>A reading of the <a href="http://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/pressreleases?id=1576">article </a>in its entirety offers the reader a buffet of lies:</p>
<blockquote><p>In the last quarter of the Bush Administration, what was reported in the first quarter of last year, America’s GDP, the rate of growth of GDP was a minus 6.4 percent. Minus 6.4 percent. In the equivalent quarter of the Obama Administration one year later, it is at plus 5.9 percent. A swing of over 12 percent in the GDP. This is the fastest rate that we have seen in a long time.</p></blockquote>
<p>Then she immediately stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>Just last week, we learned that America’s manufacturing base grew for the seventh straight month – and is now at its second highest level in years.</p></blockquote>
<p>It would be disingenuous to say Pelosi lied about the relationship between the 5.9% GDP and slowdown in the liquidating of inventories, and much more forthright to state that Pelosi possesses the economic literacy of a gibbon; but with that said, her macroeconomic acumen is far more sophisticated than her comprehension of the Constitution she is sworn to uphold.</p>
<p>Simple economics: Inventories liquidated $33.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009, thus resulting in a 5.9 GDP. Inventories liquidated $139.2 billion in the third quarter of 2009. Of the 5.9% GDP, the added inventories contributed 3.39%, thus making the actual number immediately revised to 2.2%. A 2.2% GDP will not incentivize capital to move into the market, and will not reverse 10% unemployment. Consumers will need to dramatically increase their spending to sustain these new inventory levels, and with the unemployment numbers hovering around 10% with government math, and 17% with reality math, inventories will liquidate again if they become stagnant, and GDP will drop accordingly. The economy will not sustain positive growth without significant increase in employment.</p>
<p>For fifty years the United States has strategically guarded itself against the atomic bomb, or weapon of mass destruction as it has become known, with military and diplomatic might. But what is unfolding on an almost daily basis is the disastrous fact that Nancy Pelosi and her ilk possess, with the lethal amalgamation of breathtaking stupidity, fascist ideology, and atrophied morals, what would, synergistically speaking, constitute a weapon of mass destruction capable of doing more damage to this country&#8217;s fundamental architecture than any nuclear styled weapon this country has faced.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s health care reform bill passed by a margin of 210-205. A razor-thin victory (or was it?), thanks, no less, to her political-genius. The political cost of her bill: a potential sweeping of the 2010 and 2012 elections by the GOP, and another nail in the coffin of Barack Obama&#8217;s constitutional usurping Hope and Change agenda. Her gain: nothing. This bill, as written, will never see the light of day in the Senate. This bill was DOA even during the negotiations, and is merely the toxic waste of Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s egocentric being.</p>
<p><span id="more-3531"></span></p>
<p>Thanks to the <a href="http://www.gop.gov/">House Republican Conference</a>, Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s 2000+ page health care reform bill and its quantitative increase in governmental bureaucracy was almost available to be perused online at your leisure and horror 72 hours prior to the late Saturday evening blackmail and extortion party hosted by Pelosi in the House chambers. However, Pelosi, again, broke another one of her consistently unreliable and fraudulent promises of having the bill online for the voters to read 72 hours prior to a House vote.</p>
<p>This 2000+ page albatrossesque quagmire to which the American people will be subservient until kingdom come is filled with multi-layered agencies, commissions, boards, panels, groups, programs, and a czar(s), which point to one definitive result: this bill is not about health care, nor was it ever intended to be; this bill is about control. Mark Steyn&#8217;s take on Obama&#8217;s and Congress&#8217;s urgency of passing anything they can get the votes for: &#8220;It’s not about health or costs or coverage; it’s about getting over the river and burning the bridge. It doesn’t matter what form of governmentalized health care gets passed as long as it passes. Once it’s in place, it will be &#8216;reformed,&#8217; endlessly, but it will never be undone.&#8221;</p>
<p>This bill is the continuation of the Democrats&#8217; and Obama’s creating an authoritarian oligarchy complete with a monarchist disdain of a republican form of government and the U.S. Constitution. This unprecedented departure from individual freedom depended on several factors: whether or not Pelosi could coerce enough Democrats to vote for the bill while simultaneously committing <em>felo de se </em>for the better good of fascism, whether or not the insurmountable odds of reconciling the House bill with the Senate could be overcome, and whether or not Harry Reid can get a couple of Democrats in the Senate to accept the same fate as the House Democrats, and then survive the guaranteed myriad federal lawsuits against the bill’s unconstitutionality.</p>

<p>The cost of this proposed health care reform bill and the 111 new agencies to operate will inevitably end up being a 3-5 trillion dollar death knell to the American way of life. This fascist usurping of the Constitution and republican form of government by a handful of rogue legislators, and their continued support by a faction of this country that labels themselves Americans, is disturbingly perplexing.</p>
<p>I have grave concerns about Russia’s unchallenged bellicose actions in Eastern Europe, and their saber rattling in our direction due to their anticipated poltrooned inaction by America&#8217;s historical president; I have grave concerns about Communist China’s ever increasing military prowess and unprecedented financial jurisdiction over our economy; I have grave concerns about North Korea’s capability to launch a nuclear missile at America or a true ally that Obama has yet to alienate; I have grave concerns about a mercurial and terrorist abetting Iran becoming a nuclear nation; I have grave concerns about another terrorist attack on a U.S. city by al-Qaeda operatives; but what I have the most grave of concerns about, and perceive as more malignant to America, is the fact that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama, et al., have more than a zero approval rating. These people, these rats who continue to follow the music of these three pied pipers of Washington, whomever they may be, who continue to approve of this anti-American legislation, government expansion, and the mountebanks that produce it, these rats are the real threat to this country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress</em>.   -<strong>Mark Twain</strong></p>
<p>On the eve of becoming the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, Democrat, squawked the following aspersions on the truth:</p>
<p><span id="more-3467"></span></p>
<ul>
<li><em>She      intended to run the most honest, the most open, and the most ethical      Congress in history</em>.</li>
<li><em>She</em> <em>is      ready to lead with Republicans</em>, <em>not in partisanship.</em></li>
<li><em>In this      House, we may belong to different parties, but we serve one country. We      stand united in our pride and prayers for our men and women in uniform.      They are working together to protect the American people, and in this      Congress, we must work together to build a future worthy of their      sacrifice.</em></li>
<li><em>The only      way you can make the change that needs to be made for our country &#8211; a new      direction where we&#8217;re there for the many and not the few &#8211; is to drain the      swamp.</em></li>

<p>Unfortunately for America, Pelosi&#8217;s draining of the swamp was not a viable option, as it would have been political genocide of the Democratic Party, and Pelosi would have been the first chilled-plasma reptilian circling the drain. Considering that she is the mistress of one of the most corrupt and inept congresses in history, and has, along with Barack Obama, procedurally shut out the Republican Party from input on House bills, has refused to acknowledge their legislative proposals, and by marrying the aforementioned Machiavellian contrivances with her unsportsmanlike congressional history, there is an unyielding statistical probability that Nancy Pelosi has never told the truth.</p>
<p>To secure her future status in the Gangster Hall of Fame, one of Pelosi&#8217;s first most ethical acts ever as Speaker of the House was to appoint William Jefferson to the Homeland Security Committee. Could this be the same William Jefferson who was caught red-handed stashing $90,000 of marked bills he received from an FBI bribery sting in his freezer, and whom Pelosi appointed <em>after </em>the marked bills were discovered by the FBI raid? Why not? His antics are apropos for the Democratic Party&#8217;s model of corruption. So unless the reprobate skills of stashing $90,000 of bribe money in a freezer is relevant to the defense of this country on the Homeland Security Committee, his appointment to the committee might appear to be partisan quackery to the educated. I&#8217;m just saying.</p>
<p>Without further delay, I present the authors of the 2,000-page health care reform bill, and since the Democrats all possess such a predilection for collectivism, and the Republicans were shut out of the crafting of the bill, postulation dictates the ensuing transgressions be representative of the Democratic Party:</p>
<ul>
<li>William      &#8220;Cold Cash&#8221; Jefferson, Democrat, and one of America&#8217;s Homeland      Security Committee members, was convicted of political corruption.</li>
<li>Half of the      House Defense Subcommittee, Democrats, who control Pentagon spending, are      under investigation by ethics investigators in Congress.</li>
<li>Perpetual      investigatee, John Murtha, Democrat, is being investigated by two separate      ethics offices, including his part in the House Defense Subcommittee scam.</li>
<li>Charlie      Rangel, Democrat, and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee (the      committee that writes the country&#8217;s tax laws), is being investigated for      myriad criminal and ethical infractions: 15 years of not paying income      tax, and the failure to disclose to Congress most of his assets. In      Rangel&#8217;s defense, he appears be suffering from an advanced case of <em>Degenerative      Ocular Capitation</em>&#8211; he just can&#8217;t see paying his taxes. He is, also in      concert with Carolyn Kirkpatrick, Donald Payne, Bennie Thompson, Donna      Christian-Christensen, all Democrats, under investigation for breaking      House rules on corporate-sponsored travel.</li>
<li>Jesse      Jackson, Jr., Democrat, is under investigation for taking part in the      clandestine bidding process with Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich for      Obama&#8217;s Senate seat, which has technically been vacant since 2005.</li>
<li>Maxine      Waters, Democrat, is under investigation to determine whether or not she and her      husband were simultaneously stimulated by Waters&#8217; using her influence to      route stimulus money to a bank partly owned by her husband. The Democrat      led House is creating a Consumer Financial Protection Agency&#8211; one could      suppose to protect consumers from the likes of Waters and her husband&#8211; to      set regulations for financial institutions. Maxine Waters, Democrat, added      an amendment to the bill adding ACORN (the child prostitute, tax evading      advisors, and multi-state criminally indicted voter fraud institution) to      the committee to help craft regulations. The amendment adding ACORN was      passed by the House Financial Services Committee, Democrats. I have stated      before that Maxine Waters just might be the dumbest member of the House.      Considering newly discovered evidence&#8211; have you ever heard her speak?&#8211; I      stand corrected. I amend my statement: she may well be one of the      most incoherent, dim-witted, and obtuse people in the U.S.</li>
<li>Maxine      Waters’ pal, Laura Richardson, Democrat, the Congresswoman with a      community of foreclosed houses strung along the majority of the California      coast, six mortgage defaults, unpaid property taxes, and a mountain of      unpaid bills, is under ethics investigation. She seemed to have lied      regarding her financial disclosure forms for Congress, and as a Congresswoman,      received special treatment from a lender. The same infractions were      committed by Chris Dodd, Democrat, and Charlie Rangel, Democrat,      respectively.</li>
</ul>
<p>But enough specifics about the transgressions of Nancy Pelosi and congressional Democrats: too voluminous, too little time.</p>
<p>There are 535 members of Congress. Let us take a look at the aggregate of the Democrat-led Congress that crafted the 2,000-page health care reform bill. The following is a who’s who of check-kiters, con artists, mountebanks, DWI’s, shoplifters, and various other nefarious elements residing within the congressional chambers.</p>
<p><em>*Note that the following enumerations of malfeasances are a moving target, as every two years hooligans are voted in and voted out of Congress, and acts are committed almost daily.</em></p>
<ul>
<li>53 have      personal records so serious they would be denied security clearances by      the Department of Defense, but since they are in Congress, they get a free      pass for security clearances.</li>
<li>29 members      of Congress have been accused of spousal abuse.</li>
<li>27 have      DWI&#8217;s.</li>
<li>21 are      current defendants in various lawsuits, ranging from bad debts to disputes      with business partners to other civil matters.</li>
<li>14 members      of Congress have drug-related arrests.</li>
<li>8 have      shoplifting arrests.</li>
<li>7 have      fraud charges.</li>
<li>4 have been      charged for theft.</li>
<li>3 have been      arrested for assault.</li>
<li>19 have      been accused of writing bad checks.</li>
<li>117 have      bankrupted at least two businesses.</li>
<li>71 have      such bad credit they can’t qualify for a credit card.</li>
</ul>
<p>With the transgressions respectfully enumerated, I will allow Mark Twain to introduce the consummation of imbecility, the 2,000-page health care reform bill: <em>Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.</em></p>
<p>According to the Congressional Budget Office, the cost of the House’s 2,000-page health care reform bill is $1.055 trillion, $500,000,000 per page, or $2.2 million per word. The end result will still leave many Americans uninsured and probably prison bound for not being insured. Approximately 15-20 million of the estimated 45 million uninsured will be left uninsured after subtracting illegal aliens, wage earners earning over 70k per year who choose to pay their own medical expenses, wage earners in-between jobs with a temporary lapse in insurance, and young adults who just don’t want it, leaving a net gain of 1-8 million for the cost of one trillion dollars&#8211; a cost to taxpayers of between $125,000 to $1,000,000 per person.</p>
<p>What can be expected from the bill:</p>
<ul>
<li>Myriad new      taxes on citizens, doctors, drug companies, medical device makers, etc.</li>
<li>If it      breathes, moves, creates, or heals, the Democrats will tax it. Just in case      all taxable entities were not covered, Hillary Clinton, this past week,      committed the consummate Kinsley Gaffe during her Offend the Entire Country      of Pakistan and Palestine Tour with this nugget of candor: “The percentage      of taxes on GDP (in Pakistan) is among the lowest in the world&#8230; We (the      United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not      what we see in Pakistan.&#8221;</li>
<li>Mandates      with punitive actions if not followed.</li>
<li>American      physicians fleeing the profession in droves.</li>
<li>The      devolution of medical and pharmaceutical life-saving advancements. The      world will then be forced to rely on the astonishing medical breakthroughs      from Canada and England, or anywhere else socialized medicine devalues the      impetus for advancement.</li>
<li>Bankrupt      hospitals.</li>
<li>Massive      increase of the federal deficit.</li>
<li>Systematic      loss of health care coverage for the old.</li>
<li>Doubling or      tripling of premium costs.</li>
<li>Bankrupting      states.</li>
<li>And the      death panels that did not exist, that were originally removed, are back in      play. Bye-bye Grammy and Gramps.</li>
</ul>
<p>The director of the Congressional Budget Office, Doug Elmendorf, stated that the estimate of the $1.055 trillion price tag is preliminary and “subject to substantial uncertainty.” He also stated that, &#8220;Our judgment is that that piece of the legislation would raise insurance premiums.” Translation: According to all previous trend analyses of government run programs, the $1.055 trillion cost will settle in around $5-10 trillion in cost to taxpayers, along with cost prohibitive insurance premiums to the same taxpayers.</p>
<p>Referencing one of William F. Buckley&#8217;s statements, &#8220;I&#8217;d rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone directory than by the faculty of Harvard,&#8221; it is plausible to ask: would this country be better off governed by the first 2,000 inmates from a randomly chosen prison than the Democrats in Congress that we are forced to endure until the next election cycle? Frankly, is there a discernable difference?</p>
