In the progressives (both parties) push to fundamentally change the United States of America, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says the Democrats "have passed two of the three pillars" in Obama’s Orwellian-named “blueprint for American prosperity.”
“We have passed two of the three pillars in the historic healthcare and education reform and are working towards a clean energy and climate agenda in Congress,” Pelosi said in her remarks to the California Democratic Party state convention in Los Angeles on Saturday. “And essential to prosperity for middle-income Americans is reining in Wall Street.”
Make no mistake here though ... Because what they've done, is simply pass 2 of the 3 pillars in the first phase of Obama's Orwellian-named "blueprint for American prosperity." In other words, this is far from over.
For example, just ask Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) about their total health care goal:
Yes, they passed the health care bill without a public-option. But that doesn't make it a non-issue. Here's why ...
The fear of the public-option was, that since it would be subsidized by taxpayers, it would result in its offering of health care insurance with premiums below market rate, thus resulting in the demise of the health insurance industry and forcing us all into a single-payer system.
But they didn't need a public-option to accomplish the same result. All they had to do, was simply subject the entire country to the massive failure known as RomneyCare, where health insurance premiums have skyrocketed to become the highest rates in the nation!
So as you can see, we have both the budget-busting premiums and out-of-control costs, they were after in the first place! They put us the same road to force us into a single-payer system, as we would have been on if the public-option had passed.
Welcome to American-style Corporatism!

This is turning into some horrid science fiction movie, only were suffering through this in real life.

Cap and Tax next? Pelosi: 2 pillars down one to go on Obama’s blueprint
Passing Cap and Tax now will be the nail in America’s coffin and mostly likely the straw that will break the taxpayer’s backs. Since Cap and Tax already passed in the House, will Democrats use reconciliation to ram the House version through the Senate?
The progressives are intent on tearing apart the freedoms that made America the greatest nation in all of history. So the question remains ... Are you going sit back and let them get away with it? And if not, what are you willing to risk?
Here is my issue with greenhouse gases and the Supreme Court ruling in 2007. With all the new evidence that supports the book is not closed on global warming and greenhouse gases, why doesn't some company or entity challenge the 2007 Supreme Court ruling that carbon dioxide is a pollutant in greenhouse gases. Surely since climategate this can now be readdressed. After all the science is incomplete and if this is true how can the Supreme Court continue to hold its position with carbon dioxide. I didn't realize that there were so many climatologists on the court...oh wait there's not!
I don't know the entire answer to that, but 2 things come to mind: 1) For many businesses, even sizeable ones, the cost/benefit factor is too risky to bother, and 2) contrary to popular belief, Big Business loves Big Government! They're on the same page!
John Derbyshire in his unique fashion put it best when he quoted his imaginary newspaper, "thoughtful editorial in my favorite newspaper, the Feudal Times and Reactionary Herald foresaw another downward lurch in the death-spiral of Western civilization, as, quote, "The world's last bastion of individual liberty, independence, self-government and and self-support sees a mighty breach made in its walls by the ballistae of utopian socialism," end quote. Who can disagree?" when speaking of the healthcare bill passage.
One of the supposed "savings" from Romneycare, was to be in the form of fewer visits to the Emergency Room. (Sound familiar?) A study showed:
"Massachusetts’ 2006 health reform legislation sought to move the state to near universal health insurance coverage and to improve access to high quality care. The available research evidence shows that the state has achieved near universal health insurance coverage and has made significant gains in access to care. As of fall 2008, nearly all (92%) working-age adults in the state had a usual source of care for when they were sick or needed advice about their health and most (85%) had had at least one doctor visit in the past 12 months. Despite significant gains in access to care under health reform, high levels of emergency department (ED) use have persisted in Massachusetts. Specifically, ED use was high in Massachusetts prior to health reform and has stayed high under health reform."

Global warming is a crock o' sh!t. The Volcano in Iceland that's spewing ash into the air as we type, is putting more pollutants into the air than we have in the entire last century. I guarantee that you will see a significant temperature variant in Europe to the lower side. And you will most likely see an increase in the snowfall this next winter. If you'll recall, When Krackatoa erupted in the middle of the Pacific Ocean back in the 1880's, the resulting ash cloud changed the weather pattern for several years.
Cap and Tax is just another way for the government to get into the American taxpayer's pocket. And Al Gore and others of his ilk stand to make even more money off of this.
