(ChattahBox)— As the battle for health reform reaches a fevered pitch, Republican opponents to the overhaul of our broken health care system are becoming desperate, reverting to the usual baseless charges of “Socialism.” But, a disturbing racist email making the rounds with the subject line, “Obamacare Healthcare is coming soon!” is beyond the pale, revealing the ugly racist underside of the GOP. The email contains a photoshopped image of President Obama with a bone through his nose, clothed in full tribal dress.

Doctor’s Office (National) What if Government Ran Health Care? (Sprint Ad Remix) Doctor Bob Straightens out government healthcare. Look past the comedy and see the truth. A government socialized healthcare plan will be bad for the patient, the economy and the American citizen. Bureaucrats will ultimately decide, not your doctor whether you get proper healthcare or not.

I said this afternoon in my post on the North Carolina health care counterprotest that grass-roots activists for fiscal conservatism are matching the lefty astroturf crowd person for person and sign for sign. I repeat: It’s happening more often than you’ll see in the NYTimes and on TV.Here’s another report from an anti-MoveOn/anti-Obamacare counterprotest today — this one in Long Island, NY from Gathering of Eagles member Dan Maloney:Patriots from the Conservative Society for Action, Gathering of

Sure, exercise, eat better, reduce your stress, and kick a trial lawyer in the nuts!We have unnecessarily large awards to aggrieved patients, crushing insurance costs to doctors to cover malpractice, a situation where defensive medicine drives up costs, and an entire industry of lawyers whose job it is, apparently, to rape the system and cause it to be burdensome for all of us. On top of that, we have a national party in the Democrats assisting these very destructive lawyers to do just that.

Show me a Democrat and I will show you a greedy for your hard earned tax dollars big taxing Liberal. The question is not if Democrats love to tax us, the question is which kind of tax IS their favorite?I cannot answer such a question, but, Wizbang does have some insight on a new kind of tax Democrats are looking atThe House Ways and Means Committee says it is looking at surtax on wealthy taxpayers as the primary source of funding ObamaCare:As discussed in the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, the surtax would apply to individuals with adjusted gross income of more than $200,000 and couples over $250,000, according to officials involved in the discussion.

The Alternet article on the “abortion party” I referenced a couple of days ag o has been picked up by some on the the “pro-choice” side who are getting the vapors (ohh! Sexist comment) that anyone could be so offended by the shindig. The Broadsheet , apparently a “The View”-type group blog on Salon.com (which doesn’t drive anywhere close to the traffic that an Instalanche drives) comes to the consensus position that this article was written to make them look bad.

From the Desk of: Steve Elliott , President, Grassfire.org Alliance “Obama wants to impose government-run health care in the next three weeks. See below.” –Steve Desert Conservative Visitor, I need your help right now… President Obama launched a full-court press yesterday for Congress to pass his Government-run health care plan before the August recess. That means Obama and the Democrats are planning to rush through their massive plan to put government in charge of your health care in just three weeks! Today, Grassfire is launching a nationwide petition to stop ObamaCare.

Score one for the Wall Street Journal (and VS, I might add). Just yesterday I was lamenting that the broader media had not picked up on the “ObamaCare as Trojan Horse” story line that we’ve been documenting now for over 2 months. From today’s Opinion page at the WSJ, The Public Option Two-Step : The reason left-flank Democrats are so adamant about a public option is because they know it is an opening wedge for the government to dominate U.S. health care.

I’m not sure if MoveOn.org knew what happened. Their people were there, organized by “Community Organizers” such as ACORN and funded by MoveOn.org, George Soros and his ilk… yet they were quite literally surrounded by a grassroots group of ordinary citizens who got the call from a number of local patriots . If “We Surround Them” is the mantra of the grassroots uprising, then it certainly held true today.

I was on Fox and Friends this morning to talk about the Tea Party movement’s next steps. As I noted, grass-roots activists are mobilizing on both the local and national levels to lobby for fiscal responsibility from both parties. A nationwide round of protests against cap-and-tax and socialized medicine is scheduled for July 17. But some folks aren’t waiting.

Maybe Congress believes that the “other white meat” is good for you, because the health care bill is loaded with it, even though people are already choking on the price tag. In one more example that the Democratic Party-run congress is just not listening to the will of the people, both the house and Senate versions of the developing Obamacare legislation has special “pet projects” designed to make the representatives more popular in their districts.
Don’t be led like some MINDLESS pigs that go running over the cliff instead of stopping to look where this is leading. My comment stems from the fact that U folds seem not to want socialized medicine. I ask you WHY NOT. Do not let infiltrates for the Big Pharma and Big Business Health care Industy come in and you follow them in that mindless fashion. Why don’t you want Universal Health Care?
I challenge all of you to look at the film made in 2007 called SICKO if you can get hold of it! Now that tell the whole delima o Healthcare in America and It also shows what FREE Healthcare is like in Canady, England, France and Cuba. The film is a real eye opener, and for all who say they do NOT want universal healthcare, I believe that you are mindless followers of a so called (Cause)
Just be mindful that the leaders hear, do not dictate to you what to believe.
I believe in the general aspects of the Tea Party, I think. But not where Healthcare is concerned. There is so much GREED in America is the problem. The doctors here are a greedy bunch that want to see just how much they can get out of the insurance companies when they go into private practice, the same with the hospitals that grow richer with every test the doctors order, so pile on the test, even ones not really necessary. The Health Insurance companies then raise premium rates. Oh when a piece of new equipment losses its tax deductable status, why fix it, just buy another.
We must take back OUR GOVERNMENT to be by the people, and for the people.
1. Our government should provide us with Healthcare.
2. Our government should NOT be allowed to vote itself raises.
3. Our government Senators other, should be financially transparent, should go to jail for KICKBACKS such as those given by the HealthCare Giants when Medicare Part D was passed. Look at how many got their pockets lined by contributions by those HealthCare Insurance Giants.
4. Our government is totally OUT OF CONTROL.
5. State government needs to have the same rules apply!
6.We need Controlled access websites, where it is the PEOPLE that vote on issues, and our representatives are held accountable for voting for the majority. Majority Rules.
Oh, I wanted to add one more thing. I think you are mistaken. It’s not just ONE party. Its both parties that need to answer to us Americans. I voted for McCain. Now I regret I didnt vote for an Independant as I stayed on his email, list after the election. I got sick of the “MY FRIENDS ” ploy before he asked for money. He continues to ask for contributions to this day, and not only that, the last email I received before I got taken off his list was about allowing people the freedom to choose Big Healthcare Industry to rip you off with their premiums for coverage. Sooo that said. I thought to myself AHAA….wonder how much BCBS, Etna, Cigna and others gave him for that support? Just like I wonder, how many of you are infiltrators from the Health Insurance Giants? Read post and think about it folks. Thanks for listening to my spill, and letting me get it off my chest. By the way I have worked in the healthcare (field)or industryyou may call it, for 33 years
One more. If I had it to do over again, I probably would vote for Obama and I’m Republican. All the above is from my recollect and is My own humble opionion.
