“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? Matt 20:13
America’s Independence lasted from July 4th 1776 to July 4th 2012. We are no longer a free and independent people we are dependent on an overbearing gummit which can now tell you what to buy and how much you must pay for that purchase. What are you purchasing? Your life has been sold to that gummit by a Democrat congress and a corrupt Supreme Court. After 236 years and numerous wars to maintain our freedom we have had our freedom taken by an enemy from within.
Tonight when you watch those fireworks, just remember they are being fired at you rather than celebrating the defeat of an overreaching, overtaxing and tyrannical king. Tonight will be a celebration of the District of Corruption of the completion of a nearly hundred year plan to slowly own your life and now they have it. If you want to take your chances and go without insurance, you have no choice in that matter; you will buy health insurance. If you want a high deductible since you rarely if ever use it, you have no choice in the matter; you will buy all the bells and whistles. If you want to drop your kids from your plan when they move out or turn 21, you have no choice in the matter, you will cover him. And if you want that heart transplant when you are 68 since your doctor says it will help you live another 10-15 years, you have no choice in the matter; the gummit says no.
We are now living in a Soviet Union where the Central gummit has complete and absolute control of your life from cradle to grave. They now tell you what you can and can’t do and where you can and can’t buy insurance. You are now buying it from DC it’s just they are allowing a number of companies who they have chosen to collect the premiums or in this case the Federal taxes. This health insurance unlike the insurance you have had before is mandated so you have no choice of coverage or what options you believe fit your lifestyle. This is because the gummit focuses on the lowest common denominator so the crack addict or alcoholic in the poorest parts of town can’t afford a high deductible that option isn’t available to you. Just like Moscow or London in 1776, they can’t centrally plan for flexibility so you are forced to take what they have to offer, but don’t forget to pay your higher taxes for that inflexibility.
Now don’t expect any service for the added premiums to cover the uninsurable and crack addicts, you will now have to deal with a bureaucracy that will make Medicare look like the Indy 500. We will be looking at pre-approvals that will be done with the compassion of the IRS and the efficiency of the Post Office. You will be filling out form after form divulging every wart and pimple to some Federal zombie and trying to convince him that you need that mammogram or heart pacemaker like it was his money and not yours because now it is his. Tonight we celebrate the end of Freedom and Independence from King George Obama.
We have one last hope of saving this great experiment of mankind and not Hope and Communism, our hope is the upcoming election and making sure we have 51 Senators. We have to expand the numbers in the House and control the Senate. Every Democrat Sinator is the 51st vote on repeal which is what we have to do or the Death Panels will do their ghoulish work in such efficiency that all of our seniors will be gone in less than 10 years. What Obama, Reid and Pelosi didn’t say is the only way to make the numbers work is to get rid of all the high usage insured so you just tighten down the matrix and the computer keeps on denying operations and soon you have a younger healthier less costly group. The fact you have to resort to euthanasia has never bothered the communists since why should killing old people bother a Party that runs on killing babies.
What is our solution? Repeal this monstrosity and let the Free Market and Free People do what they do best. Bring in real competition like they have in the auto insurance industry so the Progressive girl is promoting new and vibrant ideas which cut down on the overhead and give you exactly what you are looking for, cheap coverage. Allow those who want a $5-10,000 deductible have them and enjoy the savings while at the same time having coverage for something major. We don’t need King George ruling over us telling us what to eat and drink as well as when to do it we need more freedom not less. It is time for him and Pelosi to go and take their ill-gotten millions with them. It is time to campaign like your lives depended on it and in this case it literally does.
Benedict Roberts has destroyed our freedom and it is time to get it back. This will be looked back on as either when we lost our Country or the darkest days of a new dawn. Just like the commies were able to use the baby boom generation as an incrementally communist moving agenda, we have to do the same thing from a freedom granting capitalist movement. We need to educate and redirect people away from big gummit solutions and towards individualistic capitalist solutions. The use of higher deductibles and risk pools as well as Progressive streamlined purchasing options to hold down premiums and eliminate central control and taxation.
This is a long term strategy and movement that will not happen overnight just like the imposition of socialized medicine didn’t. We will have to peel away the onion skins one at a time before we begin to approach that original idea of 1776 which says free men can govern themselves. We have to promote idea that Freedom and Liberty is the most original and efficient means for both politics and economics for being a dynamic Country. It will take every bit as much effort as our Forefathers gave to defeat an evil tyrant back in our founding as is needed to defeat the evil one we are oppressed by now. It is time to fight the fight to take back our Freedom and give it to the next generation and the next.
Pray for America
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily mine, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
Someone was arguing that the Republicans and Romney have no plan to fix the economy aside from saying Obama has to go. I think you've found the solution right here:

In other words, stop the damage and get out of the way!
And Flo selling Health Insurance? Priceless!!!!
Thanks for thread AB. Maybe we can crack 100 posts today (the double posts help). Hillary groveled to Paks and O is retiring our nukes. The twilight’s flickering last gleaming has to be reversed 11/6/12.
Haley Barbour and 2 Democrats on Face the Nation, and I started this morning watching a small part of the homage on the C-Span morning chitchat show to Hillary Clinton. She has now been on more trips than other other Secretary of State in America's history. Which would explain why Bill Clinton is always smiling and doesn't have a permanent head-dent shaped like an ashtray.
And Hillary wrote a book about Taking A Village to Raise A Child. Since somebody in California has proposed legislation to allow more than 2 parents at the same time for a child, she's always been a role model and inspiration.
Can't wait to see the tax return that involves more than 2 parents claiming the same child as a dependent. No wonder the IRS has to hire 1,000's of agents.
Finally, Barney Frank got married. How nice; if this guy friend was a long-time situation, is he the same guy who took the fall for Barney's prostitution ring that was run out of the apartment?
MTP pre-emted for Tour de France coverage.
Rumors persist that the French-speaking David Gregory is going to be replaced at MTP, due to low ratings.

For the other programs, it looks like a holiday line-up. I wouldn’t waste TV electrons to watch Wasserman-Schultz rant and tout everything-Obama-good. Same with McCain and Durbin.

Is this Jindal’s VP audition? He just does not give me a Chrissy Matthews type tingle.
Doubt if any of them will cover this.

Pay attention to his father’s letter linked at the top of the article...Note the statistics of number dead and injured under W and under 0. and o change of engaging the enemy.
Yes, I’m angry....Hunter was one of my students....Off to church, Please pray for his friends and family....God only knows we need it.
But that's true across all of Free Republic.
As an example, the Friday night Canteen thread where they play music, songs and mp3’s used to have 1-2,000 post over the weekend but is down to a couple of to three hundred...
Why?
Well, I know certain reasons I won't articulate here except to say I never seen so much backbiting, rudeness and plain old vulgarity on the site as we've seen this past year. It started back in the 2008 election season, stopped after Palin was nominated, and has been on a low boil ever since. It reached a new high during the past primaries.
Also, people have a lot more alternatives for social networking such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. So for every post on Facebook, we lose one on Free Republic. I remember many years ago, some firm did an analysis of all the Internet web sites to see how they attracted and kept viewers. Free Republic was the “stickiness”. This meant people would stay here far longer than any other site. I wonder what our stickiness looks like today?
McConnell and McCain are not representative of
staunch conservative principles.
Another week passes without Mr. Romney, the presumptive GOPe
candidate, facing a SINGLE TALK SHOW pushing
CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES.
A real CONSERVATIVE candidate, who cared more for America
than him/herself would be pushing conservative principles
every week - loudly, clearly, repetitively.
Too much hatred for Romney. It turns everyone off.
See post 12 right avove me

WOW. 4.4 million jobs.
Except — that that number isn't so impressive, when it is extrapolated:
4.4 million for 28 months = 157,142 new jobs per month or 39,285 new jobs per week.
During about 20 of those months, new weekly jobless claims were in the 450,000 range. In the last few weeks the number has dropped to the 385,000 range.
385,000 new WEEKLY jobless; 39,000 new WEEKLY jobs created. The economy is creating jobs at the rate of 1 for every 10 lost.
[Why does Obama use 'the last 28 months"? He has been in office 42 months.]
==
It is even worse for last month:
June 02 - initial claims - 377,000 revised to 380,000
June 09 - initial claims - 386,000 revised to 389,000
June 16 - initial claims - 387,000 revised to 392,000
June 23 - initial claims - 386,000 ...
Total INITIAL [+revised] claims for June: 1,547,000
1,547,000 initial [+revised] claims for unemployment vs. 80,000 [not 84,000 as Obama claimed] new jobs for the month.
At that rate, it would take over 19 MONTHS just to recover from the June numbers.
moonshot925, you should be ashamed of yourself.
How dare you claim that the mention of
the absence of Mr. Romney is ... ‘Hated’.
I wondered how long before the RomneyBOTs came
out of the woodwork for Obama and Soros and Romney.
No wonder the this thread is a bare remnant of what
it once was.
Everything about the 1st Amendment has been stricken
and FReepers not on their knees to Romney attacked.
Anything that threatens the illusion of Mr. Romney
as a conservative is followed by ad hominem and
false innuendo.
What a shame for conservative principles.
Sadly agree. I check in for the news and try to limit myself to splashing in the shallows of posting activity.
F&F runs the clip of Obama saying ‘middle class is an attitude.’
Hmmmm. So, I guess that means ‘poverty is also an attitude.’
So they “created” 80 to 84,000 new jobs last month but 89,000 went on permanent Social Security Disability, to receive a fat check forever footed by all the rest of us from now on. They leave the work force, helping the “unemployment” numbers. Also, media does not talk about jobs lost, just jobs created.
Meanwhile we went over 2,000 US lives lost in Afghanistan with 1,399 of these incurred under Bambi’s pathetic 3 1/2 years of ROE and mismanagement as opposed to W’s 8 years (630 total). Media is silent.
One other thing, TomGuy...
While the jobless claims were at 80,000, during the same week 84,000 people received Social Security disability.
They’re set for life. They do not have to look for a job anymore, or work somewhere and pay taxes and be a productive American citizen. Now I know SSD isn’t a whole lot of money... But with rent assistance, food stamps, utility grants and other programs you can have a relatively comfortable life. And you don’t have to get off oyu’re fat disabled a$$ to even make a phone call, ‘cause you get an Obamaphone for free!
This just adds to the pool of voters who receive benefits from the government. Think they’ll vote for someone who wants to cut these benefits or taxes the workers drone even more so they can continue the gravy train?
Be very afraid!
