“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then; and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1
When is the DNC going to apologize to the American people for destroying the finest insurance industry the world has ever seen? There are people actually suffering and worrying they may not have coverage in two weeks as opposed to the Marxist lies we heard about the so called crisis he invented to trick the people into going along with Obamacare. They passed a law and like all Soviet style tyrants they went back on their own bill and are trying to transform what they have into a turd milkshake. The problem with Marxists is they have no feelings for anybody outside of their preferred groups so there is absolutely no compassion for those losing their insurance policies. These are the White Americans he despises.
When Obama said, “If you like your policy you can keep your policy, period,” he knew he was lying and absolutely did not care. These dyed in the wool Marxists do not care about anything or anybody outside of promoting their agenda. They will do whatever it takes to expand their power and control to build their Soviet style utopia. They tell the people they are looking out for them by using smoke and mirror clichés such as the 1% vs the 99% when they want to replace the current power brokers with themselves. They continually lecture how you cannot trust the current capitalist leaders, yet you can trust them as a replacement when they are far less trustworthy than the people they want to replace.
The private market promotes by earning your advancement through measurable goals or it will fail in the marketplace. Private companies which continue to keep or advance incompetence will face an untimely end which is immediate feedback to those companies on what and who works and what doesn’t. Private companies have a natural barometer of what is a good idea or manager and what is not by the bottom line and profit margin. The profit margin is an objective measure of what works and what does not which is what forces the private market to make the tough decisions as well as how to work efficiently. It has a natural measuring stick the public sector does not have or want.
The insurance industry began over a thousand years ago and the American Industry began during colonial times. Ben Franklin was one of the founders of an insurance company and they have continually developed techniques to spread the risk and predict their losses so the industry can cover as many people as possible. Not only do the companies spread the risk among their own policy owners, there is a cooperative which spreads the risk among companies called reinsuring. On top of reinsuring there is an even larger reinsurer called Lloyds of London which allows these companies to buy insurance for themselves in case of a catastrophic loss across the country which could potentially wipe out the entire company or industry.
These companies and industry have studied and developed these policies and reinsurances over the centuries to handle the risks which occur across so many diversities in a country this size. They have continually changed and improved their policies and services to meet a dynamic market throughout the country. The only thing standing in their way from creating even more aggressive and dynamic policies are the state and federal gummits which regulate them into things they would not do economically. These states pass laws forcing them to issue policies people do not want and force them to issue them without accurate underwriting which is the foundation of the industry.
The public sector has none of the barometers or expertise the private market requires. Obamacare had a bunch of Harvard eggheads write a utopian dream and turned a version of their beloved Nationalized Healthcare to the DNC and asked them to pass it. These overeducated idiots believe they are smarter than the market due to their Marxist brainwashing. They have believed the Ivy League drivel for so long and pushed their agenda in lockstep fashion without questioning the logic of their agenda. Since they all agree and have no opposition due to academic purging of dissidents there is no freedom of ideas let alone using a profit margin indicator of positive ideas. These academics believe everyone else will work for the common good while they pull down high six figure salaries.
Just like Global Warming and Evolution, these professors all agree as do the socialists in the DNC it would work so they passed a law to promote their agenda. The problem is, a couple hundred agenda driven pols are never going to match the combined intelligence of thousands of insurance experts. It never was a competition as to which one was going to provide the best coverage, but they used their clichés and media dragoons to brainwash America into believing they could somehow rewrite the insurance industry. Like the freak show barkers on the midway they model themselves after, the Mainstream Marxist Media promoted this hoax like the dutiful dunces they have always been. The American people are the victims of this alliance from Hades and in two weeks are about to enter an uninsured disaster.
There are so many details that go into an insurance policy there is no possible way an inefficient behemoth like the federal gummit could recreate it, let alone improve on it. There is no profit incentive to force these bureaucrats to work extra hours or streamline a procedure. Just like the website boondoggle, they are far more interested in graft and corruption than they are in actually providing affordable healthcare. So they punch the clock in their overpaid jobs knowing there is no accountability pretending to care about what they are doing and when it fails it fails. This is what the American taxpayer is paying for and with Obamacare, they are seeing and about to feel the failure of gummit. Now, for the next two years or longer we are going to suffer the effects of a small group of Marxists who believed their economic dinosaur could replace hundreds of years of financial fine tuning with a fraud and and a shoddily written law. In two weeks we enter into an economic nightmare called Obamacare and his lies will not turn this one into a milkshake.
Pray America is Waking
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
Obama is sweating it out....In Hawaii. Lazy, rotten ba*****.
Thanks for thread A.B. I am starting to see folks wake up. It is never too late to try.
MSM in all out push for the Big Government RINO/Leftist budget scam.
Great message Bray. I agree with you. But the earth abides, and we, the people, shall overcome and prevail over this dark chapter in our nation’s history.
Singing at 10 am mass this morning. Will return later. Thank you AB for doing this thread.
Precious darling granddaughter in Christmas play last night, was Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, AND the Magi who carried the myrrh.
She was so good my knees buckled with happiness. The audience gave her standing ovation.
Wonder where she gets that ham in her from?
Local funeral home had ceremony in memory of Mandela.
I volunteered to be the sign language interpreter.
Wonder what the major topic on FNS is going to be?
==
Mc’s back. I thought he was on his way to Ughastan or some former USSR province.
==
Don’t think I can listen to Kerry drone on and on.
==
Ryan is making some of the rounds. Too bad they don’t have Levin interviewing him. Ryan has turned into another Rubio = a great disappointment.

Obamacare & Healthcare.gov seem to be old news.
Budget and ohhhhh possible government shutdown is back, conveniently.
Sequester — it worked somewhat, so Boehner & Reid are trying to get rid of it.
It looks like the media is pushing “Gun Control Sunday”. I wonder if they’ll focus on Biden’s favored shotgun, in the hands of the Colorado shooter and also his anti gun and anti Republican rants? NOT
Good video by Monica Crowley on how we deal with Obamacare and the Democrat grand scheme to enslave us.
TW
Clip of Boehner: I came to Washington to cut government and that is what this bill does.
[How much does it cut, Boehner? Or is this another spend now, cut later bill?]
[TW is fueling the flames against the eeeeeeevil Tea Party.]
Gingrich: the last shutdown didn’t work, so the Republicans learned a lesson from that.
Obamacare & Healthcare.gov seem to be old news.
Budget and ohhhhh possible government shutdown is back, conveniently.
In just a few weeks tens of thousands of the most ill citizens in our nation, those in the high risk pools eliminated by Comrade Obama and the Demoviks, will lose their access to specialist doctors, hospitals, clinics, therapies, even medications...
Are we gonna go around wishing one another “happy New Year” when it is the year of the death panel that is arriving?
WHERE OH WHERE is the conservative leader ready to ask simply how it is that the well-being of the government supercedes the well-being of advanced cancer patients, heart patients, etc?
WHO will stand up and say, “If we have to shut down Yellowstone Park in order to keep thousands of people alive, why aren’t we making a stand? No park ranger at the WWII monument so that others may live? THAT is what our boys died for in Europe and the Pacific—so that others may live.”
If our precious GOVERNMENT was honest, they’d move the park ranger from the gates of the monument to the front door of Sloane Kettering or the Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins so as to make sure the sick can’t get in.
And no one is willing to address this? No one is willing to stand for election on THIS issue?
Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
TW
Reichhhhhhhhhhhhhh: Tea Party is intimidating. It is good that it is getting shot down (by Boehner, et al).
[Amazing that the eeeeeeevil Tea Party is getting so much attention, considering it is an idea rather than an actual party. Of course, that is what scares the status quo politicians in Washington. Ideas can take down governments.]
Don’t think I can listen to Kerry drone on and on.
%%%%%
Can anyone?
Every time someone reflexively bashes Bush43 I want to scream, How would you have liked President Kerry????!!
MTP on first here, where they lead with a roundtable to set the agenda, then follow with Murray/Ryan interview.
