Goodbye Elderly Folks, you've lived long enough...

Have you recently gone through your 'old' movies to seek out "Logan's Run' or 'Soylent Green'? I do not need to. Both of those cult classics are forever ingrained in my mind. They were both 'futuristic' type movies and they both have similar theme's. The elderly are disposable. Of course both of them go about utilizing the elderly in different fashions. Soylent Green uses the elderly as a FOOD source. Little wafers of food, to feed the hugely overpopulated world. Green foods are gone, animals are no longer a food source; so the elderly at about 60 years old are given the 'going out' of a virtual reality type relaxation room with music piped in and a large screen of beautiful scenery of when the world was healthy and trees existed.

In Logan's Run on the other hand, it depicts a dystopian future society in which population and the consumption of resources is managed and maintained in equilibrium by the simple expedient of demanding the death of everyone upon reaching a particular age, thus avoiding the issue of overpopulation.

So are our resources depleting? Why would this ObamaCare plan include NO CARE for the elderly if they have a disease, or other END OF LIFE issues. Obama says 'take a pain pill' so that basically the seniors are medicated in their end of life times. WHAT IF it is NOT their end of life? What if those seniors need a simple transplant of some organ, or a bypass surgery, or perhaps a hip replacement??? Obama says if they haven't taken care of themselves, its basically THEIR fault these problems have occurred.

Really? Obama isn't worried because when he is in his 50-60's + he has a Federal Health plan that gives him the BEST health insurance. His wife gets it too. Probably his children as well. SO it doesn't AFFECT him or the family.

The rest of the Nation are BENEATH him, so they can have a lessor health plan. Or none at all. Not for end of life.
The AARP HOSTED Obama today while he is pushing his health care ideas. THE AARP!!
So I know what group I will urge my older family members to END their affiliation with AARP. Obama says 'some bureaucrats decision' wont demand the seniors to pick a hospice or elder care plan for their end of life. Nothing CURATIVE mind you. SO obama says whats in the BILL--wont have to be followed??
Oh yea! This is the switch and bait of 'don't read the Bill, just listen to me!" ....These are not the droids you are looking for.....

When I am in my 60-70's or beyond, the federal government will NOT dictate the health care I can or can not have! I DECIDE!

I am an AMERICAN. My RIGHTS and LIBERTIES will not be trampled on!

Unemployed in Obamaland

Last year my daughter came to live with us, and soon afterwards gave birth to my first grandchild. At the time, I was unemployed 2 months mostly due to the fundraising pool beginning to dry up and then the issue of those who DID find my work vital--well they got hit by Madoff and his ponsie scheme.

So after talking to my husband, we agreed that for the time being, I could continue searching for a decent opportunity, but most of my 'work' would consist of taking care of my granddaughter.

Around December when the Christmas season was difficult, I went into overtime trying to find employment. Even if it meant something part-time or seasonal.

By this time, the elections had happened, and I was well aware Obama would take office in January. I tried to be open minded, but could not get passed "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes!"

It is now the end of July, and I am still unemployed. I checked my education, my office skills, my business skills, my administrative skills, and everything appears to be top notch. I checked my references both personal and professional, and again I see great individuals with whom I have forged great working relationships and private.

I continually hear about the unemployment rate rising, more people becoming disenfranchised with unemployment, and of course how many states are delaying unemployment compensation. I even tried to apply for unemployment myself! I have worked since 1982. I have paid into my unemployment. However I was denied. Most likely because of the timely manner by which I applied and the time frame the state is currently paying out.

So I continue to seek employment. I go to my local State Employment agency, I of course get every Sunday paper for the classifieds. I get hints from friends, and have broadened my horizons into past careers I have held.

I have enrolled full-time again to complete my BA. I have also jumped into a new career field as my minor. Still.... nothing.

So from this point forward, with our nation going bankrupt, my children and grand children's future being spent so quickly--I realize this is OBAMA'S FAULT! Never in my life has it been so difficult to become employed. NEVER!

Obama is ruining peoples lives. Mine included.

Dr. Emanuel aka Dr Death appointed Health Care Czar

Obama has appointed Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel to a top-level position as one of his top-level advisors on health care reform.

Yes, he is the brother of White House Chief-Of-Staff Rahm Emanuel.
What’s that you say?
Neopotism?
How dare you!
Obama promised us the “most ethical administration in history.”

Regardless, Dr. Emanuel seems to be a graduate of the Jack Kevorkian Medical School.

You may remember Kervorkian as the doctor who gained notoriety for assisting terminally ill individuals commit suicide, as well as being an advocate for legalizing euthanasia.

Dr. Emanuel would make Dr. Kervorkian proud.

He has made the claim that “Medical care should not be given to those who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.”

So if you have an elderly family member suffering from Alzheimer’s or a child diagnosed with Downs Syndrome, the hell with both of you according to Dr. Emanuel’s position.

By all appearances, as far as he is concerned you can push them off into a corner of the room, because the government won’t be wasting any resources on them.

He also discriminates against older patients.

He believes that “Unlike (health care) allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not discrimination...”

So if you are young and healthy, under Obamacare you’re in good shape.
However, if you are a bit older and require a bit more care, well, it sucks to be you.

“Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously as an imperative to do everyting for the patient regardless of the cost or the effects on others.”

This may become a commonly heard doctor-patient conversation:

“Sorry Mrs. Smith, we probably could have gotten your husband back on his feet and he could have lived another dozen happy and productive years, but you folks have reached the limit on your Obamacare debit card.
And after all, let’s face it, he was what, sixty?
And now I will have to ask you to excuse me, I have a 25 year old waiting to be treated for a sunburn.”

Something in the back of my mind was nagging at me that somewhere I had read of another so-called “medical man” like Emanuel and Kervorkian who thought that the critically ill and the mentally disabled were beneath contempt.

Then I recalled the name of a “doctor” who “practiced” at a place called Auschwitz.

His name was Josef Mengele.

Prof Gates & Obama IGNORNCE bring more Racial issues

I am tired to death with the issue of Prof Gates an his WHINNING about racial profiling. The home had a recent HISTORY of being broken into, or the attempts. The NEIGHBORS were conerned, because they knew Gates was out of town. So THEY called the police to PROTECT Gates' home and belongings. they were being NEIGHBORS.

Gates ranted and screamed at the 'white' police officer, but what the MEDIA fails to mention is the 'white' officer had a 'black' officer partner! That 'black' partner AGREED with his 'white' officer partner that Gates was getting abusive and beligerant!

Gates acting like a 'rock star' wanted to be recognized why? Gates is the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and the Director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research at Harvard University.

Professor Gates is Editor-in-Chief of the Oxford African American Studies Center, the first comprehensive scholarly online resource in the field of African American Studies and Africana Studies, and of The Root, an online news magazine dedicated to coverage of African American news, culture, and genealogy.

That's right! He is the 'educated' Prof for AFRICAN AMERICAN studies.

Bottom line, had Crowley's partner, the 'black officer' arrested Gates or lead the arrest of Gates, Gates would NOT have a complaint to bolster and whine about! Would the WH Obamination have anything to say about a black officer arresting a black Prof?? I think NOT.

Gates is on MY local papers front page news about accepting the invitation to have a beer with Obama. I DONT CARE!!!! Yet Gates feels because of the color of his skin, he should get an apology from the police dept? REVERSE THAT Mr. Racial Gates. YOU APOLOGIZE to this Nation for being a RACIST and ACTING STUPIDLY.

What would happen if our Universities had Prof of Anglosaxon or Caucasian American Studies??? Holy crap would that ignite the Nation. But WHY??? Are we now in a Nation that puts caucasians as second class or lower citizens?? Indeed.

Gates is an idiot. A Prof of HATE.
