12 DAYS OF OBAMACARE
THE 12 DAYS OF OBAMACARE (SUNG TO "THE 12 DAY OF CHRISTMAS")
On the 12th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
$2.6 trillion spending: According to the Republican staff of the Senate Budget Committee, the health care law and reconciliation measures include $2.6 trillion in new federal spending in their first 10 years of full implementation (i.e. 2014-2023).
On the 11th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
$2,100 Premiums Raising: According to a Congressional Budget Office analysis, the health care legislation will raise individual health insurance premiums by an average of $2,100 per family. This increase for struggling American families comes despite candidate Obama's frequent promises that his health care plan would LOWER premiums by $2,500 per year for an average family -- meaning the gap between candidate Obama's rhetoric and President Obama's legislation stands at a whopping $4,600 per family.
On the 10th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
$310,800,000,000 Costs A-Soaring: According to an analysis by the non-partisan Medicare actuary, the health care law will actually raise national health spending by more than $310 billion over its first ten years alone. The fact that the health law will raise and not lower health care costs comes despite an earlier pledge by President Obama that "if any bill arrives from Congress that is not controlling costs, that's not a bill I can support. It's going to have to control costs."
On the 9th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
35,000,000 Coverage Dropping: According to an analysis by former CBO Director Doug Holtz-Eakin, the health care law "provides strong incentives for employers -- with the agreement of their employees -- to drop employer-sponsored health insurance for as many as 35 million Americans."
On the 8th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
222 Rules A-Waiving: According to an Administration website, the Department of Health and Human Services has issued 222 waivers to health plans exempting them from some of the health care law's more prominent new mandates. These waivers -- many of them issued to labor unions -- demonstrate the onerous nature of the mandates being imposed, and the inconsistent way in which the law is being applied.
On the 7th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
40,000,000 Forms A-Filling: According to a report issued by the National Taxpayer Advocate, 40 million businesses will be affected by the health care law's new 1099 paperwork mandate. This new information will force all businesses to file tax forms listing the amount of their annual transactions with vendors like their paper supplier, bottled water distributor, caterer, etc.
On the 6th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
7,400,000 MA Benes Losing: According to the Medicare actuary, enrollment in Medicare Advantage (MA) will be cut in half as a result of the health care law, from a projected 14.8 million in 2017 all the way down to 7.4 million. One insurer has already dropped out of the MA program entirely due to the law, meaning seniors will face fewer choices of plans.
On the 5th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
Zero Oversight Hearings: Since enactment of the health care law in March, the Democrat majority in both chambers has failed to conduct any substantive oversight of the sprawling 2,700 page measure.
On the 4th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
159 Boards and Programs: A prior RPC analysis found that the health care law establishes 159 boards, bureaucracies, and programs. From entities like an institute to conduct comparative effectiveness research to the National Health Care Workforce Commission, these bureaucracies will serve to micro-manage the entire health care system, putting government bureaucrats between doctors and patients.
On the 3rd day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
16,500 IRS Agents: According to a report issued by the Republican staff of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Internal Revenue Service may need to hire as many as 16,500 new agents to police the various mandates imposed on the American people by the health care law.
On the 2nd day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
21 Federal Lawsuits: According to a website run by the Independent Women's Forum, there are currently 21 separate lawsuits in federal court challenging some or all of the health care law. In one of the more prominent cases, Virginia Judge Henry Hudson struck down the law's controversial individual mandate earlier this month.
On the 1st day of Obamacare the government gave to me: (BIG FINISH!)
A health insurance mandate "fee": The health care law includes an unpopular mandate to purchase government-defined insurance -- a mandate that candidate Obama opposed when he was running for President.
On the 12th day of Obamacare the government gave to me:
$2.6 trillion spending: According to the Republican staff of the Senate Budget Committee, the health care law and reconciliation measures include $2.6 trillion in new federal spending in their first 10 years of full implementation (i.e. 2014-2023).

ODE TO ODOROUS
A fart is a pleasant thing,
It gives the belly ease,
It warms the bed in winter,
And suffocates the fleas.
A fart can be quiet,
A fart can be loud,
Some leave a powerful,
Poisonous cloud
A fart can be short,
Or a fart can be long,
Some farts have been known
To sound like a song......
A fart can create
A most curious medley,
A fart can be harmless,
Or silent, and deadly.
A fart might not smell,
While others are vile,
A fart may pass quickly,
Or linger a while......
A fart can occur
In a number of places,
And leave everyone there,
With strange looks on their faces .
From wide-open prairie,
To small elevators,
A fart will find all of
Us sooner or later.
But farts are all bad,
Is simply not true-
We must never forget.......
Sweet old farts like you!
Kinda brings a tear to your eye - right?

BEANS
THE TRICK IS TO FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS:
This is bizarre - after you find the guy - it's so obvious. Once you find him - it's embarrassing, and you think, 'Why didn't I see him immediately?'
And, yes, the man is really there!!
After you find the man in the beans forward the e-mail to your brainy friends.

OBAMA LOVES HER
The following is a funny and true story passed on by KC Williams who teaches AP Government at Santa Fe High School. In one of KC’s classes, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States.
It should have been pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. However, one of the several pretty, blonde girls in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen.
In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. KC and the class were just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone’s jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating............................................
‘What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?’

SHOOTING ADVICE
Never let someone or thing that threatens you get inside arms length and never say I got a gun. If you feel you need to use deadly force for heaven’s sake let the first sound they hear be the safety clicking off and they shouldn't have time to hear anything after that if you are doing your job.
The average response time of a 911 call is over 3 minutes....the response time of a .44 magnum is 1400 feet per second.
"The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if necessary."
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it's going to be empty."
"If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not loadin', you should be movin', if you're not movin', someone's gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick."
"When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket. If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth fairy and you're gonna be one of 'em pretty soon."
"Do something, it may be wrong, but do something."
"Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes available."
"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If you have a gun, what in the hell do you have to be paranoid for."
"Don't shoot fast, unless you also shoot good."
"You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work, but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the universal language."
"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live depends on how well you do it."
"You cannot save the planet but you may be able to save yourself and your family."
"Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or until someone makes us go away, and either way, it will be exciting."
1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'
6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'No ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.'
8. Beware of the man who only has one gun, because he probably knows how to use it very well.
'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.
A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.

Shooting advice Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is a drill instructor (Thunder Ranch is a firearms training facility in Arizona). Here are a few of his observation on tactics, firearms, self defense and life as we know it in the civilized world.

More Excellent Gun Wisdom........
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. 1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

WHY OLD LADIES CARRY GUNS
While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant, and resumed their trip. When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and she didn't miss them until they had been driving for about forty minutes. By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around, in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.
All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained, and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up for a single minute.
To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her, "While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card."

YOU WON'T LIKE THIS
ObamaCare Highlighted by Page Number
THE CARE BILL HB3200
THIS IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL. Judge Kithil of Marble Falls , TX - HB3200 highlighted pages most egregious. Please read this........ especially the reference to pages 58 & 59.
JUDGE KITHIL wrote:
** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).
** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)
** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees.
** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age.
** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.
** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)Sounds like death panels to me.
** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.
HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on:
"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."
Honorable David Kithil

GO TEXAS!
Recently, in the City of Dallas , Texas , they passed an ordinance that if you are pulled over by law enforcement and not able to provide proof of insurance, your car will be towed right away. Afterwards, to retrieve your car after being impounded, you must show proof of insurance to have your car released. This has made it easy for the City of Dallas to remove uninsured cars that are typically driven by mostly illegals.
Shortly after "No insurance" ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound lots began to fill up quickly and were full after nine days. Most of the impounded cars were driven by illegals.
Not only must you provide proof of insurance to have your car released, you have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and charged $20 for every day their car is kept in the lot.
I would suggest other cities across the nation to follow what Dallas , Texas is doing. Not only is it getting uninsured drivers off the road, but it is taking away vehicles driven by illegals that have no insurance that might endanger your life.
Brings a tear to my eye.
GO Texas !
Dallas' Solution Get them off the road WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality. Wonder how the ACLU or the Justice Department will get around this one.
Dallas, TX's solution to Illegal's... Brilliant!!!

HOW MUCH IS CONGRESS REALLY WORTH?
When we total the monetary value of the elements in our bodies and the value of the average person's skin, we arrive at a net worth of $4.50! Let's see, if we melt them all down and sell their ingredients, that'll be roughly 525 times $4.50 or..... $2,362.50, just a tad short of the $14 trillion national debt that they are responsible for creating.

CALIFORNIA VS. TEXAS
California
The Governor Elect of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out, bites the Governor, and attacks his dog:1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi", then realizes he should stop, the coyote is only doing what's natural.
2. He calls Animal Control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 for testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the state $200 for testing it for disease.
4. The Governor goes to a hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for disease from the coyote and for getting his bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail is shut down for 6 months, while Fish & Game conducts their $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor next spends $150,000 in state funds, implementing a "Coyote Awareness" program for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease, throughout the world.
8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not somehow stopping the attack and for letting the Governor attempt to intervene.
9. Additional cost to State of California : $75,000 to hire and train a new security agent with additional special training re: The Nature of Coyotes.
10 PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files suit against the state.
Texas
The Governor of Texas is jogging, with his dog, along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog:
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.75 on a .45 ACP hollow-point cartridge.
2. Texas buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, my friends, is why California is broke!!!

OH, MY!
A woman from Los Angeles, CA who was a tree hugger, a Democrat, and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland near Colville, WA . There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she startedto climb the big tree As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl which attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch.
Now in considerable pain, she hurried to Mt. Carmel E.R. to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her.
She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, "What took you so long?"
He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a
recreational area. And, I'm sorry but, due to Obama Care, they turned me down."

WHO IS OUR ENEMY, ISLAM?
Here is one of the new congressmen from Florida explaining very definitively in just over a minute the truth about Islam. This is not Rocket Science. Please watch and forward. It is worth the viewing. This new Congressman was an extremely popular commander in Iraq. He was forced to retire because of actions he took during an intense combat action, when a few of his men were captured.
At the same time his men had captured one of the guys who were with the Iraqis who captured his men. Knowing that time was crucial and his interrogators were not getting anywhere with the prisoner, COL West took matters into his own hands. He burst into the room and demanded thru an interpreter that the prisoner tell him where his men were being taken. The prisoner refused so COL West took out his pistol and placed it into the prisoner's crotch and fired. Then the COL told the prisoner that the next shot would not miss. So the prisoner said he would show where the American service members were being taken. The Americans were rescued. Someone filed a report on incorrect handling of prisoners. COL West was forced to retire. COL West was just elected in November 2010 to Congress from Florida. During the elections he was part of a panel on how to handle or how to relate to Muslims. You will see his answer here.
Here is one of the new congressmen from Florida explaining very definitively in just over a minute the truth about Islam. Please watch and forward.
Unless we understand the Koran and Islam, we will continue to spin our wheels in dealing with them. They will continue to expand their control over territory and people, enforcing Sharia Law as they have been doing since the year 622 AD.
Look what happened yesterday in Pakistan, Punjab state. The popular Governor, a Muslim, was assassinated by a fellow Muslim for not backing a proposed anti-blasphemy law for Islam. 500 moderate Muslim Clerics came to the defense of the assassin saying he was justified in killing the Governor because he did not back the new law. Of course all the mainstream Muslims and clerics said the killing was justified. The moderate clerics were known as the "Voice of Reason and Moderation" and their yet conclusion was "Death To The Governor". So much for peaceful Islam.
They are all following the teaching in the Koran. They are not terrorist: They are practicing Muslims. In Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt, the Muslims blew up at least three Christian Churches this (2010 AD) Christmas Eve and murdered some worshipers the following night in their homes.
The Muslims who flew into the Twin Towers in New York were well educated, most college graduates, and came from devoted Muslim families. They were following the teaching of the Koran. Why do we have trouble understanding and accepting this? And they want to build a Mosque in NYC at "ground zero" named after their greatest conquest in Spain in 711 AD and name it Cordoba, after the city they conquered and razed? Cordoba became the show piece of Islamic conquest and power and glory in Europe until it was reconquered in 1236 AD. Will this proposed new Mosque in NYC named Cordoba be the stepping stone to conquering America?
We may have to start some societies dedicated to opposing the Islamic Threat in America. Heaven knows, the current administration can't or won't even protect our borders from illegal Immigrants. They are establishing Muslim outreach programs at taxpayer expense, and inviting and paying the way for Muslims to immigrate to the USA. God help us.
Please pass this on.
At the same time his men had captured one of the guys who were with the Iraqis who captured his men. Knowing that time was crucial and his interrogators were not getting anywhere with the prisoner, COL West took matters into his own hands. He burst into the room and demanded thru an interpreter that the prisoner tell him where his men were being taken. The prisoner refused so COL West took out his pistol and placed it into the prisoner's crotch and fired. Then the COL told the prisoner that the next shot would not miss.

HIYA THERE, STUD!
Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer's down. You will have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. What'll it be?"
The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains ."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and off flies the first priest.
The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks, "Will any of this week 'count' St. Peter?"
No I told you the computer's down, There's no way we can keep track of what you are doing."
In that case" says the second priest, I've always wanted to be a stud.
"So be it" says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears.
A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble locating them? he asks.
"The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies , flying with the eagles.But the second one could prove to be more difficult."
Why asks the Lord?
"He's on a snow tire, somewhere in Montana "

ONE LINERS
1. I couldn't care less, but I'm working on it.
2. Is there a national do not call list for friends and family yet?
3. I'd like to give you a nice going away present. But first, you have to do your part.
4. Making $ is easy. Press shift+4.
5. At the Pentagon, there are five sides to every story.
6. I don't make snowmen. If I wanted a cold man with slush for brains, I'd still be married.
7. I don't take drugs - I'm not even an athlete.
8. The Doctor to the Patient.. "I'm stumped. I guess we're just going to have to wait for the autopsy results."
9. I hate sharing a name with someone famous because I'm always telling people, no, I'm not THAT Batman.
10. I was drinking at the bar, so I took a bus home. That may not be a big deal to you, but I've never driven a bus before
11. It's beginning to cost a lot like Christmas.
12. The odds are a million to one against my being one in a million.
13. Checked a lot off my thought-about-doing-today list.
14. The screen says press any key to continue. But I can't find the 'any' key.
15. When rabbits get divorced, it's called splitting hares.
Oh well, it's better than listening to Pelosi...

NOW, THAT'S COLD!
I just got off the phone with a friend in Utah. He said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is dropping below zero and the north wind is increasing.
His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window.
He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in...

WHO THE REAL CROOKS ARE?
Perhaps this explanation is a bit simplistic but... Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he talked people into investing with him. Trouble was, he didn't invest their money. As time rolled on he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going. Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail. Some of you know this, but not enough of you. Madoff did to his investors what the government has been doing to us for over 70 years with Social Security. There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes, except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions. Do you need a side-by-side comparison here? Well here's a nifty little chart.
BERNIE MADOFF SOCIAL SECURITY
Takes money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later. Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a "Trust Fund" and made available later.
Instead of investing the money Madoff spends it on nice homes in the Hamptons and yachts.
Instead of depositing money in a Trust Fund the politicians use it for general spending and vote buying.
When the time comes to pay the investors back Madoff simply uses some of the new funds from newer investors to pay back the older investors.
When benefits for older investors become due the politicians pay them with money taken from younger and newer wage earners to pay the geezers.
When Madoff's scheme is discovered all hell breaks loose. New investors won't give him any more cash.
When Social Security runs out of money they simply force the taxpayers to send them some more.
Bernie Madoff is in jail.
Politicians remain in Washington.
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination. ' - Ronald Reagan

CUSTOMER SERVICE?
We all need to consider doing the following when we are talking on the phone to any US customer service representative that is based in a foreign country (like India )!
Any time you call an 800 number (for a credit card, banking, charter communications, health insurance, insurance, computer assistance, you name it) and you are transferred to a representative (like in India ), please consider doing the following:
After you connect and you realize that the customer service representative is not from the USA (you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent), please very politely (very politely - this is not about trashing other cultures) say, "I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the United States of America ." The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, again, politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the USA ..."
YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED to a rep in the USA . It only takes less than one minute to have your call re-directed to the USA.
Tonight when I got redirected to a USA rep, I asked again to make sure - and yes, she was from Fort Lauderdale.
Imagine if tomorrow, every US citizen who has to make such a call and then requests a US rep, imagine how that would ultimately impact the number of US jobs that would need to be created ASAP. Imagine what would happen if every US citizen insisted on talking to only US phone reps from this day on.
If I tell 10 people to consider this and you tell 10 people to consider doing this - see what I mean...it becomes an exercise in viral marketing 101. Remember - the goal here is to restore jobs back here at home - not to be abrupt or rude to a foreign phone rep. If you agree, please tell 10 people you know and tell them to tell 10 people they know....etc...etc.
