I keep seeing all these Obama supporters and wonder why? They seem to be against being a conservative and I wonder why? What really is Obama doing for this country?

This is what I see:

• Debt being ran up at an staggering rate
• Money wasted on programs that are worthless
• Dems working on their own agenda, spite what Americans think
• Socialism in government having monetary interest in companies
• Health care regulation that makes no sense in our current state
• A never ending war still being fought
• Unemployment still a problem
• Dems pushing policy while chuckling at the Constitution

Then to beat it all, these same supporters of Obama still blame Bush for our current state.

Please, someone enlighten me as to what is so great about our president???

I was talking with someone the other day and the only issue we seemed to agree on is the fact that the health care system is broke.

I am a firm believer in capitalism! No matter how painful this may be to some, I believe that we can fix the problem with health care and keep capitalism in mind. When I think about the way the bill is headed, I think socialism! Why do we all feel as if we have an entitlement to something? Really, the only true thing that can be said about life is the fact that will will indeed live and die at some point. Now I do have no issue with helping those in need.

Let’s take a look what may happen if this bill in current form passes:

1. Cost to small companies in America are going to rise causing a painful chain reaction
2. Large companies are going to lose large sums of money if we assume this system will be based off a percentage (let’s take a measly 5% increase in tax, 5% of a billion dollar company is a lot of money)
3. Because companies are forced to pay a higher tax rate, hours will be cut and those whom do have insurance now may be dropped to hours that may no longer require the company to pay for insurance (like blue cross blue shield etc..)
4. Insurance companies may not be able to compete, kills free market

Some other things that be a direct result of the bill are things like assisted suicide. Imagine being diagnosed with a terminal illness and going to your doctor only to be told that in the name of being patriotic and saving Americans money that you should check into an assisted suicide program, may seem far fetched but I would not put it past our government.

I do notice there are some people whom like the idea of this bill. I would like to ask those people if they will still like it when millions of people lose their jobs? Or when we run the deficit up even higher if they feel the same? As said many times on this site, the government has no clue on how to run a successful program.

Wake up people, this is not a save all this is a beginning of a new world headed by socialists!

This health care debate is frankly starting to piss me off. How can a political party hold the House, Senate, and the White House and not get something done in over a year in power? The people don’t want the garbage bills that Congress has been trying to force onto us. I’m going to leave the Constitutional fallout for another post for now. If most people in America don’t want something, why pass it?

There has been more and more talk about reconciliation and now a way to pass the Senate bill in the House without even having to vote on it. And the reasons the Democratic leaders justify it is this “The Republicans have used these tactics in the past, so we can too”

I grew up being told that two wrongs don’t make a right. Apparently the members of Congress grew up different from the rest of America. Just because someone else in the past has used something doesn’t make you right in doing the same thing. Especially when we are talking about something that effects 1/6 of the nations economy. What are these idiots thinking?

We the people are too dumb to reject something that special interests have subverted our elected officials into ramming down our throats? I think not. A majority of people in this country want Congress to start over. Whatever context you look at the comments, Pelosi saying to vote on a bill so we can find out what’s in it, is laughable at best. The people voting on these bills aren’t even reading or writing them.

Washington marches to the tune of doing whatever they want, not what we want. What is it going to take to get the message to them that America isn’t a land where we expect to be treated like ignorant serfs? The premise of this country was limited government, not this bloated joke we have now.

As we head into the new year, I have to wonder about the future of Apcovat. I spend a good majority of my day deleting spam from emails and deleting spam from people trying to post comments on the site. I have to ask myself if this is all really worth it?

We get very little feedback from the site. We have been doing this for awhile and seem to get no return for the investment in time it takes to run this site (at least to me). There have been times that I have got on the site and wanted to post and have instead been dragged into the job of deleting spam messages for a couple hours and by the time I do that, I lose interest in making a post.

There is very little going on here that even gives me the interest to continue to keep the site alive.

I have also come to the conclusion that people in general just don’t care! I want to help America but at the same time I can’t fix things myself. I am just starting to think that I need to join some small group and try and promote change. I don’t think this is the answer, I also don’t think that voicing my opinion on a site with no returns is an answer either.

America is so screwed and I guess the fact that only a very small fraction of people see this problem does not help in this endeavor either.

Oh well! Another year of overspending and the ever growing Government is on the way.

Happy New Year!

I was just watching C-Span and there were talks about the stimulus and US spending in general. I was impressed with the responses to questions by Dick Armey!

There were many questions asked about spending and how to get the economy back on track. The other gentleman that was there with Dick Armey (his name was Mr. Iron) at one time said we can borrow more money and sustain on the track of more spending on the deficit to get us on track. A thing that interested me was how Mr. Iron avoided the topic of tax cuts and at times directly attacked the ideas of Dick Armey on lowing taxes to bring the economy back.

After being very impressed with how Dick Armey viewed our economical stance, I did some google searching and found Dick Armey to be a strong advocate of freedom.

I just wanted to share this information so people would know we have another voice on our side! Dick Armey is a good man and believes in freedom! He has been added and followed on my twitter and think he deserves a pat on the back!

He is also the Chairman of freedomworks.

We live in a nation that is consumed with the thought of money. We live in greed!

We are in a time where jobs are harder to find, the deficit is higher then ever, we have our freedoms being taken in the name of something else, we are always at war and countless other issues and not to mention the value of our dollar. What do we do?

As we move forward, how do we guarantee that there will even be a tomorrow for America? We are one of the greatest places in history to ever live, we are the founders of freedom, we are the helpers of all nations! How do we maintain down the current road we are headed and maintain a nation?

I fear one day I will wake to a war on our own soil, this time it will not be a war that was caused by our policies but a war of debt collection! How will we react?

I am very concerned for our future! I sometimes wonder if anything to try and help the people is a waste of time! We are a product of what we created! Some may argue that our Government created the problem but I would argue that we allowed it and therefor are just as guilty!

I get sick of repeating the words “wake up America” and letting it fall on def ears, I am tired of being driven by a faith and a passion for my fellow man to make things right!

I see all these other groups wanting to change America by votes, some things can indeed be done by voting but I wonder if we can fix the whole problem with votes alone? How do we take the fast track to getting America back on track?

I sometimes wonder if anyone cares? Sure we have groups and sites like this, but does anyone really care? Does anyone share in my urgency? What are we really doing to bring change? Are we really making a difference? How do we make that difference? How do we encourage the creation of jobs? How do we lower the deficit for our children? Are we going down a permanent one way street?

Until ALL Americans get passionate about the problems, until we take the reins and say enough is enough, until we get some guts, we are in all kinds of trouble!

350 million people in this country and if you put all the groups together that didn’t like the way we are headed you MIGHT have 10 million! This is sad! We have a global problem that effects every American!

I am no longer gonna nicely say “wake up America”! We need to all get up and I don’t think our problems are a matter of Americans sleeping, I think they are a matter of people getting out of the “what about me” BS and getting on with what needs to be done!
