Why Tear Down A House To Add A Room?

This Old House Is Gettin' Shakey, This Old House Is Gettin Old, This Old House Lets In The Rain, This Old House Lets In The Cold..............

Today I heard a lady give a good metaphor for Obama's health care plan. She likened it to building a house. Since I sell real estate I could relate to it. She asked, if you want to add a room to your house, would you tear down your house to add that room? Of course not. That would be a foolish thing to do. Secondly, if you did tear that house down, would you expect to rebuild it at the price you paid ten or twenty years ago. Again, the answer would be no. She said, the only reason you would tear that house down is so you could build a house entirely different from the one you just tore down.

Now, if you stop and think about it, this is what Obama (and the democrats in congress have done). He is tearing down the house (our health care system) under the guise of adding a room (30 million uninsured). Not only is he and his left wing party tearing down the best health care system in the world, he is also taking away, bit by bit, our freedom to choose in America. What's next on his agenda?

If you value your business, if you value your freedom, get active. For those who were dissatisfied with the Republicans and thought it might be good to lose an election, what harm can they do in four years, now you know. Elections have consequences. Too bad some did not figure that out before the last Presidential election.

One other thing, by no means am I giving the Republican party a pass on this. They did their share of damage when they were in control. If they had acted like adults instead of a bottomless pit on spending, we may not have lost congress in 2006.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO GIVE UP

This is not the time to give up. This is the time to get into the trenches and stand up for America. Going against the will of the majority of American people can not stand if you continue to voice your opinions. Get involved and stay active. Before the last election, I heard some say maybe we should teach Republicans a lesson and let democrats win. What harm can they do? Now we know!

Who gave them the authority? Another email sent to Washington.

I'm reading a book "CAPITALISM by Ayn Rand

Here is a paragraph from the book the ELECTED ones in Washington should keep in mind:

The source of the government's authority is "the consent of the governed." This means that the government is NOT the RULER, but the SERVANT or AGENT of the citizens; it means that the government as such has NO rights except the rights DELEGATED to it by the citizens for a specific purpose.

Now, go back and reread that paragraph. Let it sink in, because the "regular" people out here, you know, the ones who ELECTED you to go to Washington and tend to OUR wishes have told you and are still telling you, we DO NOT want this government takeover of our health care. If you insist on being like "dead fish" and going with the flow, you WILL be voted out of office. If you are not strong enough to stand up to Obama, your are too weak to stand up for this country.

I Just Receive an Offer To Purchase Today

I Just Receive an Offer To Purchase Today on a listing I have. Of course, it is a low ball offer, but I don't think that will matter, because I thought I might just deem it to be accepted as written. Is that legal or does the other party (sellers) have to agree? Has anyone ever deemed an offer to be accepted?

Of Course, I am being sarcastic; does it remind you of those fearless leaders in Washington?

Kucinich, Hey! It was fun on Air Force One

L B — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:29:46 -0700

So Kucinich flipped. Is that a surprise to anyone? Work on your representative, let them know they can join the lines of unemployed Americans if they vote for this government takeover of our health care system.

P.S. When Kucinich deboarded the plan, it looked like he was pushing people out of the way getting down the steps to be next to Obama.

Write, phone and email your member of congress.

L B — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:36:43 -0700

This is the week to write, phone and email your members of Congress and voice your disgust for the way they are trying to shove this so called health care bill through. I know many REALTORS purchase insurance on their own, and would like an improvement, but this is not the way. These people are after power over all of us, and this is a sure way for them to gain that power. If they were interested in your well being, this would have been a bill both parties could have supported, and it would not have taken over a year to get it through and get it right. Not to mention all the bribes they have handed out.

This link ww.congress.org makes it easy to send an email. Simply type in your zip code and it will pull up your federal and state Senator and Representative. It will also list the President so you can send him a copy at the same time.

Take action now. It's easy and only takes a couple of minutes.

Which way is down?

I often wonder, how many people voted for Obama would now like to retract that vote. How many blamed George Bush for anything and everything, but give Obama a pass.

Is honesty still a Virtue?

L B — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 09:32:05 -0800

There was a recent news report at knox news.com about Al Gore receiving an Honorary degree from the University of Tennessee. I sent an email to Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek: chancellor@utk.edu requesting he reconsider his decision. His reply to me was they have made their decision and will award the degree. His letter was polite, but they seem to have their minds made up.

I have included Mr. Cheek's email address. If you feel the urge to write him, please do so. Below is the reply I sent to him:

Chancellor Cheek,

Thank you for your recent reply regarding the Honorary degree your Board of Trustees' are about to award Al Gore. Although I completely disagree with your decision, it is your award to give. I have always believed a person should honestly earn an award before accepting it. I also believe an award should never be given for pure political reasons, and I am afraid that is what the University of Tennessee is doing.

I have watched Al Gore for years, and I feel this is one of the most dishonest men we have ever had serving our country. Service to country does not supersede honesty.

If you will, before giving this award, read this article. It is from a conservative web site, but the facts mentioned can always be checked and verified. I realize too, it would be extremely difficult to pull back now, but it would also be the right thing to do.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Why is Al Gore receiving an Honorary Degree

L B — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:09:05 -0800

Why is Al Gore receiving any type of an honorary degree? Sometimes I feel like we are living in a superman comic strip in the bizarro world. These people should be hauled into court and made to pay back the billions of tax dollars they now have.

Check out the link above, if you do not have a problem with it, do nothing. If you do have a problem, send an email to, UT Knoxville Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek at chancellor@utk.edu

Falling on the sword

L B — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:21:02 -0800

Is it true, some of our elected officials are willing to do the so called
"fall on the sword" trick in order to get this scam of a health care bill
through? Is it true that those sent to Washington care so little about
how the majority of Americans feel, and you are willing to force this on
us.

My advice to you is get back in touch with those who sent you there.
Right now, in congress, you may think you have the final say, but the
voters have the real final say. Obama did get one thing right in is
little summit with the Republicans when he said "that's what elections are
for".

If you are against this government take over and believe as Ronald Regan
did, "government is not the solution to our problems, government is the
problem", I urge you to vote NO.
