Is this the change you want?

The American people voted for change and that is what they are getting. There are three items in the news that signify change but is this what you want?

First: The Catholic Church will be required, under Obama care to provide free birth control, sterilization, and the morning after abortion pill for their employee's through the church's health plan.

To abide by this mandate, the church will have to go against their religious beliefs. This is a terrible mistake by the Obama administration. The Catholic Church will not honor this mandate and resist it by all means, through the courts and if they are rigged , on the streets. This is an attack on religious freedom a foundation of our constitution and American way of life.

Birth control would be available elsewhere but forcing a institution to provide a service, that is against their fundamental religious beliefs, is akin to a dictatorship and not a free nation.

Even if you are a atheist, this blatant crime against FREEDOM should unite believers and non-believers.

Second: The next item is related to the first. An article in the NY Times ridicules the American constitution as a outdated antique. Supreme Court Judge Ginsberg is quoted in the article as saying that the South African constitution is the ideal constitution. This from a judge sworn to abide by the AMERICAN constitution in her legal decisions.

Their conclusion is that the American constitution does not provide enough rights such as: food and health care. When the government guarantees food and a job it is socialism and is doomed to fail. Look what is happening in Europe, their whole entitlement society is coming apart because socialism does not take into account, human nature

Third: The next item is also related to the other Two. In order change America by trashing the constitution, the atheistic socialists need votes. Votes from anywhere, from Americans and from illegal immigrants to tip the balance in their favor.

It is no coincidence that pro-illegal people are the same ones that say, showing state issued identification is somehow unfair.

Why would anyone consider it unfair to ask for ID in order to vote in elections? So they can cheat, simple as that.

Now, the Obama administration is establishing a federal agency to advocate for illegal immigrant rights. So, the same government that is required to enforce immigration laws, will be an advocate for people that break those laws.

Mass Media 2

This morning, Sunday, I got up to watch Meet the Press and This Week on ABC. I wanted to hear some thing about that Solyndra deal which on the surface seems like a scandal for the White House. I don't know if it really is a scandal but it was hardly mentioned by either of the two moderators. A couple of guests did bring it up but the moderator quickly changed the subject back to what Obama can do to get re-elected.

I would have liked to hear more about the Boeing deal that may send jobs out of America because Boeing wants to move to a work free state, that is a state within the United States that does not require union membership to work but The Obama administration is trying to stop them. Why? To appease the unions even though, if Obama is successful, Boeing may move out of the US. So, on the surface it seems Obama cares more about his union contributor's than jobs for all Americans.

Now my beef is with the mass media and not Obama. Why do I have to  search the Internet to know what is happening in the world? Why is Tv news now just a department within the democratic party?

Who can doubt if a republican president was involved in giving stimulus money to a company that they championed and also received campaign contributions and then went bankrupt, who can doubt that they would be broadcasting this potential scandal 24/7 ?

Broken Health care system

OK, we went through for a couple of years of debate on health care and  ended up with Obamacare. It was a nice try but it is not going to work because it does not attack the main problem with health care and that is the cost.

Up until a few years ago, most large companies provided free health insurance for their employees and their families. When I first came out to California in 1982 my family and I were covered by Screen Actors Guild after I did a couple of guest spots on TV. I maybe earned $6,000 my first year in Los Angeles. That little money I earned qualified me for full insurance. That meant not only me but my wife and the birth of my daughter in 1983. Now an actor has to earn $27,000 to qualify.

So what changed? First of all, there has been a massive immigration from Mexico of poor uneducated people who, for the most part, get at least maternity care for free.Also, they use the emergency rooms for minor ailments and are not required to show ID. If they get free health care then somebody has to pay for that care or the hospital goes out of business. And who is that? You pay for it when you get medical care with insurance. The hospital is going to bang your insurance big time to pay for free care.

Also, we have to reduce the demand for health care. How do you do that? People should not be encourage to seek medical care for every ache and pain they have. The medical industry constantly tells the public they should get annual exams and test for everything,prostrate,breast ,you name it and there is an annual test they tell you to come in and test. Of coarse the doctor, like a car mechanic, is going to find something that you will need medication for that may do more harm than good. These test and medications are not needed for basically healthy people. In fact, if you want to stay healthy, keep away from the medical industry unless it is an emergency.

I am now 72 years old and I cannot remember the last time I went to a doctor for anything and I have full coverage. Yes, I am lucky to be healthy at my age but I do things for myself that keeps me away from doctors

Fist of all, exercise is the most important. Why, I don't know but the body rejuvenates itself after a good workout and maybe builds the body better than before the workout. Next is good food. This is common sense to have a balanced diet and with exercise and some moderation you don't have to diet to keep the weight off. In fact, a lot of these fad diets are bad for you because you are denying your body of nutrients that it may need.

I hear people say they don't have any sugar or carbohydrates but if you are successful in denying yourself of these foods ,you would die.

Also, medical mistakes ranks in the top 10 reasons why people die.

So, in conclusion, common sense a little knowledge of how the body works can keep you healthy and away from the Medical Industry.
