Keith Palmer and ObamaCare Part 2

   

     TCY is back and has a comment but since it is a bit longer than a usual comment, I just figured to give him his own entry.

Whale oil beef hooked---we'll I'll be fucked. And so will you if Obama gets a second term. Others and I have been proclaiming that this is the most important election of your lives. Now keep this in your minds, 49% of all the people in this country receive some kind of check from the federal gov't, if the hard working taxpayers don't get out and vote, EVERYONE of US. Obama will win this election. A second term for Obama will be the final nail in the coffin for the US. without having to worry about re-election he will be free to inflict on us every socialist idea he has ever had. It won't matter that there will most likely still be a Republican house. He will use the executive order to accomplish his goals. His goals are simple, read the communist manifesto. First you must make the current government fail and fall and then re-build the government as a Socialist government. For him to succeed the US must fall and be destroyed in order to create from it's ashes the socialist Utopia he has always dreamed of.
Be ready my Friends this will not be an easy fight. Look at Europe right now. They have been socialist for 30 years and they are now finding out that it still, as in the past, does not work. They are going broke.  They can't afford to pay all of the people they promised to take care of, and when they try to tell the hoards of parasites that the free ride has to end, they riot. The same will be true here. Riots will pop up everywhere, how this country reacts to them will determine how bad it gets. Truthfully this country hasn't got the nads for needs to be done.
     In order to keep order,  justice must be swift and severe. At the first sign of riots,  the police force must come out in large numbers, overwhelming large numbers. The riots must be quelled at any cost even including deadly force. It seems extreme but if this is done right from the start, the violence will be less overall. If we try as we are doing with the "Occupiers",  the property damage and violence will be more than anyone can imagine. The anarchist will have a field day, and everyday citizens, businessmen and the like will have to fight for their very lives.
     No this will not be easy but it can be done. We have lived without a large government for most of this country's life. We have always had the poor. Were they dying in the streets? NO. We are a very generous country if left to our own. Our Church's take care of people. They can take care of more if they were filled. Our people give willingly when not forced by taxation to do so.
Back in the 30's this country had hard times. How were they handled? Look at the houses built in the 30's. They were very large; most of the ones you see today have been converted to apartments or bed and breakfasts. Why were the houses so big when so many people were hurting? Family's lived together. Grandparents, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters and in some cases families that extended beyond that.
We took care of ourselves!!! We did not leave our elderly for other taxpayers to take care of. We did not let our children go hungry until the government gave them food stamps, we  fucking fed them!!! Do you think it would be different today? If tomorrow food stamps went away, would we not feed our families? If Social Security goes away, we leave our elderly family members out in the cold with no roof, no food, and no clothes? NO we would take care of our own again, the way it was always meant to be.

    We love the holidays because loved ones gather near. The day is coming when to survive we must gather near to one another.
 The illegals are doing this now. How do they live on the little money that picking vegetables pay? They consolidate their paychecks.
The main topic of the Canadians article was health care. This too was done during hard times before. People were allowed to pay by any means they could. They brought chickens,  they bartered. This admittedly will not be able to happen unless we get rid of the Fuckin lawyers. They are the biggest reason for the health care problems we are having. If a doctor didn't have to worry about malpractice insurance or being sued every time anything happened out of the ordinary. Guess what?  People die! Deal with it!!! Doctors are people too; they will make honest mistakes. SHIT HAPPENS.
Bottom line is that there are not many doctors in it for how they can help man. It all about the dollar now. Hell try to find a doctor with a name you can pronounce. Do we really think that foreigners give 2 shits about us? No Offense there MR Char.
Yes it's a mess, it will get worse, but with everyone help it can get better.

GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!! And don't worry if a man has faults, we all do. If you see a man that claims to have no faults RUN he's a fuckin liar.

Fight back

 Ah, the inspirational word to The Crankee Yankee.  I am to agree, I do love to barter.  Every single person on this Earth is good at something.  Some are good with their hands, they can fix and build things.  Some are creative and can design buildings, better ideas or even extraordinary gift baskets.  Me, well I'm not great with my hands but I can get the job done.  Anyway, we all have skills that other people need.  With bartering, it goes as this: "You need something, I have something."  Nowadays, it's all money, money, money. Don't get me wrong, I do like money, I like to make money and I even love to spend money, but when you don't have it and need or want something, you find ways to get it.  And I don't mean just take it. I mean you find ways to get it, you barter with people who have it or can help you get it.  I personally love to barter, because everyone wins and there is NO Government Tax!. And as far as Shit Happens TCY, here's your Presidential Campaign pin for when you run for President, 2012

Vote for TCY 2012

 And I heard a lyric on the radio today, and all I could think about was TCY.

and it's kinda strange.
Cause now it's all I got in my pocket." - Everlast - I Get By


     

Keith Palmer and ObamaCare

   
     Well, there are lots of good topics out there but I have just not been invested in any of them to start up an entry.  Good thing I know a few people who know more about the world than me and who take the initiative to write it up.  This entry is from our newest blogger, our friend from America's frozen top hat, The Arctic Char.  Before you read on, here is a Canadian Joke.  Read it out loud in your best Canadian accent and see if you can figure it out.  At the bottom of the entry I will have the American translation.

He writes. . .

Back longer ago than I care to admit, I was in the wedding party for Keith Palmer's first marriage and he was in mine. The weddings took place about two months apart, the same difference as we were in age. We both worked at the same company and married women who also worked there. We were both immigrants to the country just north of here that I mentioned in my previous guest blog. Our parents came to give us a better life, his from the Republic of South Africa and mine from Scotland.

I moved and remarried, he remarried and moved, the years passed and we lost touch with each other, until his second-wife called me a few months back.

About two years ago, I could feel a lump on my neck about the size of a second Adam's apple. I was sent to an Ear. Nose and Throat doctor who drew a sample. The biopsy result was cancer. That was on a Friday. Six days later, on Thursday, I was being seen by an Otolaryngologist at a respected hospital in a nearby major city who determined that the primary source of the cancer was in my tonsil. Five days later, on Tuesday, I was under the knife, having a tonsillectomy. Last week, I went for a CatScan at eighteen months after that operation: N.E.D.... No .Evidence of Disease.

My first hint that the medical industry had gone awry in my former homeland was when I found a "poor me" online forum for adults who had had their tonsils removed. Having your tonsils out at any age must be painful. But as an adult it is a killer. Swallowing is very, very painful and you don't realize how many times you swallow at non-meal times until every time it happens, it hurts. Buying into the ice-cream fallacy, I had stocked up. One helping was enough to cure me of that. All dairy products leave an unpleasant film in your mouth that only swallowing will allay. But every time I swallowed, it hurt.

The forum's contributors were at various stages of preparation and recovery and I learned that at about day eight the pain subsided enough that it was safe to wince down some vegetable soup. One contributor was a woman from the socialist enclave just north of here; she had waited six months for her day of surgery to arrive. Astounded, I contacted still-trapped family members to see if this was typical. Yes, they replied, we've just gotten used to it.

Keith Palmer, living not in a remote perma-frost region of the country but in a suburb of the largest English-speaking city, also developed a lump on his neck about two years ago. The doctors hummed and hawed and had it biopsied and sent for tests. Then, unsure, they sent him to a different group of hummers and hawers who had the lump biopsied. They concluded that it was a lump. After three months, when the lump had grown from the size of his Adam's apple to the size of an orange, they concluded that maybe they should try radiation and chemotherapy.

Too late, they began treatment. As I was going for my one-year, so-far-so-good, clean bill of health, Keith Palmer died the day after his birthday in the summer of this year.

My medical treatment has run about $60,000. My share, between deductibles and premiums has been about $6,000. Keith Palmer's medical treatment was "free", through the country's socialized medical plan.

Obamacare is not simply the fallacy that medical attention will be "free". It will still cost a million dollars a day to run a hospital. Doctor's will still earn well-deserved, comfortable livings and the drug companies will prosper. Who covers these "free" costs? You and I, the average tax-paying citizen.

However as yet, the un-realized consequence of Obamacare will be the quality of medical service. Maybe not in the short term, but eventually. Many Americans, after learning where I came from, would talk about the long waits to get questionable medical coverage. I listened and didn't argue, but didn't really think it true. It wasn't that way twenty years ago when I left. But it is now.

Ask Keith Palmer's widow.

     Well, on that sad yet scary note, first I'd like to say sorry boot your friend Char.  Did I use that term correctly? Boot, as when a Canadian says I'm oot n a boot? Crazy Canucks!  And people say Yankees talk funny?
Anyway, I think the average American with health insurance that can afford it now realizes how bad it could get.  But the average American with NO insurance, no way of getting insurance or the even harder working American who works 3 jobs but none of the jobs offers insurance see this as a way to get free insurance as compared to NO free insurance.  The sad part is there are more of the non-insured Americans than the insured Americans.  To think about it, my 4 closest friends, one falls into the first category with insurance but the other three fall into the no insurance group. 
    By that type of thinking, at least for me, that is a 2 to 3 ratio.  If all 5 of us went out and voted to keep Obama in office and push forward with the Obamacare Health Plan, it looks like I will be taking more vitamins and exercising more cause I won't be getting any medical attention. 
     Maybe if we are lucky, TCY will be in inspiring mood and will bless us with a reply?

Yeah, it took me a while to figure out what the fuck WHALE OIL BEEF HOOKED  was.  But I will got a good chuckle out of it.
