Caution before Jumping

We've got enough liberal Republicans in Congress that I'm not confident actually got the right message from the Mass. victory. I'm afraid that they will continue to play "nice" with the Dems and get sucked into dragging out the healthcare legislation for "tweaking." It doesn't need to be tweaked; it needs to be trashed. From what I've read from those who have read the entire bill, there would be too many "hooks" hidden to have any confidence in the final version. Until they get serious about tort reform/liability limits, they need to forget moving forward with any other legislation. And, quit talking about 30 to 40 million of uninsured or under-insured. It's been pointed out that the number is considerably less when you remove the illegals, those who choose not to purchase insurance, and those who can afford healthcare without insurance.

Remember, Scott Brown said he voted for healthcare legislation that insures everyone in Mass. He has said that he is for insuring all. What does that mean legislatively? Conservatives need to be careful before jumping on just anyone's bandwagon. Brown may be for real. We don't know yet. Proceed with caution!

Give Glen a Chance

If you haven't been watching the Glen Beck show on Fox News at 4 p.m. every week day, then perhaps you don't have as clear an understanding of what is at stake in America today as you could--freedom and personal liberty. Glen is not the irrational, conspiracy theorist that the current supporters of President Obama's administration would have you believe. He, like other talk show hosts or news anchor personalities, has a slightly bizarre and energetic style; this style has been an attention-getter and an effective device for attracting viewers and critics. The urgency and importance of the information he brings to his audiences justifies this style; the more people who watch, whether admirers or those drawn by the lure of a side-show, the more people who will be exposed to another point of view on current events and, perhaps, truth that cannot be found on other networks.

If you have written him off as a little too radical, do yourself a favor and view with an open mind a video of his show from Friday, Jan. 8, 10. It is about 10 to 15 mins.; allow yourself some uninterrupted time to absorb what he is saying. Then make the judgment for yourself. Consider viewing several other of his videos from his evening show, especially the ones where he profiles the president's czars and the people he has surrounded himself with. To say it is scary is an understatement.
