Obama’s Faux Pas

March 6, 2010 – 1:03 am
Democrats in Congress pushing health care “reform” are looking more dubious by the day.  Still spewing the same talking points from last year – even though we are led to believe this is a different, more acceptable bill – are trying to convince the public and themselves that Obamacare is everything and more than what the President promised. But when you take a look at the 1,000+ pages of proposed law, as difficult as that may be, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to see that none of the President’s promises will be kept and in fact – will do the opposite.  Signing into law Obamacare will be a devastating blow to the economy, the medical industry, medical innovation, health insurance, drug companies, the public and the world – this is crystal clear.  (If only this statement was a scare tactic instead of being just scary, I wouldn’t be so concerned.) The ...

Matter of Time

March 2, 2010 – 10:28 am
Slowly but surely evidence is surfacing to substantiate the claims made in my article “Congress, Abortion, and District 19” written two weeks ago today. I covered the story of Republican Nan Hayworth, current darling of the Republican Party and 2010 contender for New York’s Congressional District 19. Nan Hayworth has what I call “baggage” – and because of this – will be unable to gain the favor of primary voters and secure the Republican and Conservative Party nominations. Unfortunately for Nan Hayworth, her husband, Scott Hayworth, is an OB/GYN doctor, and by virtue of his profession, three significant problems have emerged: 1.  Hayworth admits to having performed abortions in the past; 2.  He is CEO of Mount Kisco Medical Group (“MKMG”), a clinic that performs abortions, despite stating at this blog that “MKMG is not an abortion clinic”; and 3.  Hayworth is part of a political action committee that supports ...

Obamacare Back From the Dead

February 23, 2010 – 12:48 am
I apologize for beating a dead horse, but the saga continues as the White House will do anything to get their beloved health care “reform” bill passed, and look as non-partisan as possible in the meantime. It doesn’t matter that the American people are in a literal revolt over the proposed bill, proceed the White House must! The President purports to have a starting point for health care reform, one from which the Republicans can share their ideas, topics can be debated, concessions can be made, and American health care can be transformed. This is what occurred last year on the floors of Congress between the Democrats. Democrats in power pushed their version of “reform” while Republican measures weren’t even debated let alone included in the bill – this is for one reason and one reason only -- because the Democrats didn’t need the Republican vote to get ...

Misinformation or Truth?

February 18, 2010 – 7:38 am
Much has been written here and elsewhere about yesterday’s blog post entitled Congress, Abortion and District 19. The topic is whether Republican Nan Hayworth is worthy to be the top contender vs. progressive Democrat John Hall in this year’s Congressional race in New York’s District 19. My attention was focused on Hayworth’s husband; Dr. Scott Hayworth because of his relationship with the political action committee “American Medical Group Association” and his position as CEO of Mount Kisco Medical Group (“MKMG”). I questioned whether these personal connections – via a money trail -- would have an impact on Hayworth’s decision-making if she were to be elected to Congress. Dr. Scott Hayworth gave a lengthy response to the assertions made in my blog post, and in all fairness, I urge you to read it so that you can see things from his perspective. Yesterday, some alleged that my blog post was un-sourced, ...

Congress, Abortion and District 19

February 16, 2010 – 8:16 am
How nice it is to live in the 21st century with an abundant amount of information at your fingertips? Any web bar will do, type, hit enter, and without too much effort the answers to your questions are right there for the reading. I found a gold mine at the website addressed www.opensecrets.org, among many other useful resources, it gives one the power to type in the name of a political candidate and find out who is (reportedly) donating to their campaign and how much. I typed in Nan Hayworth, Republican candidate for New York’s Congressional District 19. What that initial search led to will be disturbing not just to pro-lifers but to the community at large, and what’s sad here is that other people have this information too, but have failed to bring it to light because higher ups in the political arena are tip toeing around Nan Hayworth ...

Stop Title X Funding

February 15, 2010 – 7:03 am
If you call yourself a concerned citizen you should be outraged – I am. Now at a time of fiscal crisis when Washington should be tightening its belt and limiting its budget to the essentials, it has proposed an increase in funding (to the tune of $10 million) to an already expensive and dubious program dubbed “Title X”. In the current proposed budget the President wants the tax payer to spend a whopping $327 million in total on “family planning” which includes direct funds to abortions here in the United States and globally, and direct funds to highly controversial and unproven sexual education programs to children as young as the age of five. Democrats and Republicans were in an uproar a few months ago over federal dollars paying for abortions in the healthcare “reform” bill, where is the uproar over Title X now? In study ...

Jobs Bill Mockery

February 13, 2010 – 2:46 am
The President and Congress poured close to $800 billion into the country in last year’s “Stimulus Bill” meant to create jobs and spur a spiraling economy. Supporters of the bill say it saved us from delving further into economic downfall and using the Obama “saved or created” model claim it saved or created -- fill in the blank it could be any number -- jobs. Most economists (unless you work for the White House) call it an ineffective spending free- for- all that has created zero jobs, increased unemployment rates to double digits, and shot the deficit to an all time high. This year’s “Job’s bill” will cost an estimated $85 billion and despite the different catch phrase, it will do essentially the same thing – with less money—which is funnel billions of dollars to state governments to fund entitlement programs and further extend unemployment benefits. Add ...

Dede Deja Vu?

February 6, 2010 – 6:50 am
Republicans across New York are practically salivating at the prospect of turning New York red at the Governor’s mansion, United States Senate, and at tons of state and local races from Broome to Queens County. It’s the kind of excitement that should raise the brow of New York’s Senator Chuck Schumer, former Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, but the GOP need not worry, he’s one of those politicians so self absorbed that if he was playing right field he wouldn’t see a pop-up until it hit him in the face! Schumer is also plenty busy trying to secure his party’s leadership (now that polls show the current majority leader is about to lose his seat in a landslide) and is fully immersed in partisan behind closed door discussions that would, he hopes, transform the shape of American healthcare from a market driven industry to a government-run universal program. The ...

Global Warming Alarmists Pivot Obama

January 31, 2010 – 4:13 am
Undoing all the misinformation and damage that global warming fear mongers have created is a difficult task indeed. Unless you are of the mindset that government control of worldwide energy consumption via taxation and redistribution of wealth is a good thing, you should understand the enormous fraud that has taken place in the world today. Thanks to famous actors and ideologues such as Al Gore, Maurice Strong, Barack Obama and other propagandists, who ensued a campaign more than a decade ago to undermine science, avoid contention, and convince the world that man-made “global warming” will dangerously impact the planet unless the world acts immediately, Americans at the rate of 3 to 1 think man is more responsible for global warming than naturally occurring causes. For the alarmists, acting immediately would mean taxing first corporations, later individuals, for carbon output, then dictating how wealthy, developed nations force and fund poor, underdeveloped ...

“Not True”

January 28, 2010 – 5:24 pm
Before the State of the Union yesterday, I watched Rep. Joe Wilson (who famously yelled “You lie!” the last time Obama addressed Congress) on Neil Cavuto’s show, who was there to discuss the upcoming speech by the President. Mr. Wilson proved to be a humble guest by profusely apologizing (yet again) for his outburst, and by politely disagreeing with the President’s spending policies during a short two or three minute interview that exuded sincerity. It was a sharp contrast from President Obama’s State of the Union address, head held high, a few hours later, where the same annoying arrogance permeated the speech, so much so that a dumb little interview showed more humility on the part of Mr. Wilson for one mistake, than Obama showed during his 70 minutes long speech for big mistakes that affect us all. (I have no choice but conclude that ...
