Keyword is "senseless." In the fourth paragraph of his Rose Garden speech on 9/12, Obama characterizes the murder of our ambassador and three other Americans as a "type of senseless violence." John Wilkes Booth's assassination of President Lincoln was not "senseless violence," was it? Lee Harvey Oswald's assassination of President Kennedy was not "senseless violence," was it? Look up the word, "mindless" and you will find the definition, "without discernible meaning or purpose" along with these synonyms: pointless, futile, useless, needless, unavailing, in vain, purposeless, meaningless, unprofitable; absurd, foolish, insane, stupid, idiotic, ridiculous, ludicrous, mindless, illogical. People stampeding Best Buy on Black Friday is "mindless violence." The premeditated and sustained and coordinated attack on the Libyan Consulate and the deliberate murder of these Americans by members of an Al Qaeda-linked group on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 was ANYTHING BUT "senseless violence"! It was carried out by terrorists whose act of terrorism had a point, purpose, meaning, etc. This was not the result of a mindless mob mentality that got out of control because religious sensitivities were offended by a YouTube video clip, which was the deceptive narrative of the Obama Administration from day one. I call BS on BO! "Senseless violence" my @ss!

Calling the public option in PelosoiObamaReidCare (PORC) by any other name is just putting pink lipstick on a fraudulent, flatulent, and frighteningly fascist pig of a plan that threatens to violate the rights of patients, doctors, business owners, and insurers on a massive scale.
This massive dose of statism in medicine would induce grave waves of arrhythmia - higher costs, higher taxes, inflation, price controls, lower quality, doctor shortages, waiting periods, and rationing.
These disturbances would become so emotionally distressing to the American people that Alinsky-inspired statists — opportunists that they are — would be able to exploit each new “health care crisis” as another opportunity to inject another dose of statism into the system.
Call Congress NOW and tell them to oppose this War of Choice on Choice in Medicine.

Coming to America: "The Taking of You"
Obama, the former constitutional instructor at University of Chicago, will chew on a few breath mints -- perhaps a combination of "Euromint" and "Frisk" would be the magic elixir -- to help him breath new constitutional life into the Fifth Amendment.
Obama will start the process of stacking the Supreme Court with liberal fascists.
Eric "The Law Unto Himself" Holder will personally argue before the Court that, because the Constitution is now officially a living, breathing document, the Eminent Domain clause can be injected with a breath of fresh fascist air and thereby stretched to include not just property, but the human body as well. He will quote Obama's 1996 keynote adddersss at the Democratic National Convention:
"It's that fundamental belief -- I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper -- that makes this country work. It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. 'E pluribus unum.' Out of many, one."
The government has an inherent interest in individuals having healthy bodies, he argues, because individuals have the public use and public purpose of yielding more tax revenues -- individuals who are healthy are better at being their brother's keeper and their sister's keeper.
Under the "takings clause," the Court will rule that that the government can legitimately claim ownership of people, their bodies, and, of course, their health.
Justice Sotomayor, in her unfathomable, and now constitutionally unpardonable, Latina-feminist wisdom, will write a "one sentence" opinion for the majority: "Our decision goes without saying."
(This manner of rendering Supreme Court decisions will establish a new "green precedent," justified by the need to save taxpayers the cost of ink and paper that were previously spent on those oh-so-yesterday, oh-so-wordy opinions.)
We will be literally and figuratively taken.
Tom "The Body Snatcher" Daschle will then be appointed "Health Enforcement Czar" with the patriotic mission of "leveling the health care playing field" and "spreading the health around."
Joe "The Plagiarizer" Biden will call on us to adhere to our “patriotic duty” to pay taxes--with the exception, of course, of families making less than $250,000, who are absolved of the duty to be patriotic, and are encouraged to plunder the wealth of the patriotic producers.
Panels of health czars ("Useful Lifers") will calculate our useful half-lives.
Panels of spiritual czars will be appointed to help us find this new meaning in life:
A half-assed, half-life ain't half bad (compared to the alternative if you disagree).

I like the expressions used here: "Constitutionalists" and "Pro-Constitution." I think they capture what should be the common denominator of this revolution much better than other expressions being used.
Americans on Saturday in fact rallied around the Constitution to show Washington politicians and the rest of the country that we care about our liberty, our economic security, our national security, our system of justice -- and, yes, our constitution!
Americans are not stupid. We have been connecting the dots and see an emerging pattern of liberal fascism in this country (and, also, I dare say here, "conservative fascism" in the form of "me-too" welfare statism and corrupt corporate cronyism).
As the trio of bombastic bombardiers -- Obama, Pelosi, and Reid -- continue dropping wave after wave of incendiary bombs of liberal fascism in the finance, transportation, energy, and health care sectors of the economy, we find ourselves encircled by the red flames of a Dresden-like attack on our unalienable rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness.
Americans are finally recognizing that these bombastic bombardiers and their sycophants in the left-leaning media are hell-bent on imposing their unjust system of "social justice" on America with reckless disregard of the adverse consequences for our liberty, economic security, national security, and system of justice. And, like a tag team of used car salesmen, these liberal leaders are creating a false sense of urgency so they can sell us on their fascist programs before any effective sales resistance can be mounted by Conservatives, Libertarians, Independents, Moderates, and -- yes -- Constitutionalists.
But Americans on Saturday openly pushed back against this loss of liberty.
Americans are witnessing the wreckage caused by the government’s fascist efforts to control every area of our lives: The loss of our home values, foreclosures, bankruptcies, frozen credit lines, the loss of savings for our retirement, the loss of savings for our children’s college education, rising unemployment, exploding deficits, mounting debt, problems at Freddie and Fannie, looming insolvencies in Medicare and Social Security, the duel threat of hyperinflation and higher interest rate to tame it, and, last but not least, our nation’s rapidly declining creditworthiness.
But Americans on Saturday openly pushed back against this loss of economic security.
Americans are just beginning to understand that our nation’s mounting debt and rapidly declining creditworthiness will hand our national security to China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and other not so friendly countries when push comes to shove in a future national security crisis. Americans’ confidence in the Administration's ability to protect our national security has been further undermined by Obama’s apology tour, Holder’s siege on the CIA, and the Orwellian language of denial, “Overseas Contingency Operation.”
But Americans on Saturday openly pushed back against this loss of national security.
Americans see the destruction of the American Dream as this country is being molded to conform to the Marxist maxim, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." The top 50% of wage earners pay over 97% of federal income taxes, and -- to make matters worse -- if this country's collectivist crew of cronies in Congress have their way, the unfairness of this progressive taxation will only get worse as these liberals let Bush's tax cuts expire, impose a surtax on the wealthy, and force business owners to pay for their employees’ health insurance.
But Americans on Saturday openly pushed back against the injustice of this “social justice.”
Yes, Americans are red hot -- yes, some of us are mad as hell -- and, yes, we are refusing to be herded together and blindly rushed to take a leftist-led, lemming-like leap into the sordid sea of statism.
So this is what Obama really meant when he promised a "transformation" of our country: liberal fascism.
This is un-American.
This is unfair.
This is immoral.
And, yes, this is unconstitutional.
Americans must rally around the Constitution and continue to push back until this march toward collectivism comes to a full stop.
Our future course must be guided by the philosophy of individualism and the principle of individual rights that inspired the Constitution -- the theory that individuals are ends-in-themselves; that we have the right to exist for our own sake; that no one has the right to force anyone to live for the sake of others; that we have the right to be left alone to pursue our own ends in life as long as we don’t infringe on the liberty of others to do the same; that the proper role of government is to protect our rights by legislating, adjudicating, and enforcing laws that prohibit other individuals or groups, foreign and domestic — and all levels of government -- from initiating force against us.

Someone asked me: "Under what provision of the Constitution does the government have the right and/or responsibility to provide health care in any way, shape, or form?"
Here's my answer:
Obama, the former constitutional instructor at University of Chicago, will chew on a few breath mints--perhaps a combination of Euromint and Frisk would be the magic elixir--to help him breath new constitutional life into the Fifth Amendment.
Obama will start the process of stacking the Supreme Court with fascists.

10 Stubborn Facts That Make Americans Stubbornly Reject PORC (PelosiObamaReidCare):
Doctors on Strike for Freedom in Medicine (http://www.doctorsonstrike.com) cites H.R. 3200 with 10 violations of our rights:
1. Forcing people to buy health insurance.
2. Forcing employers to provide health insurance for employees.
3. Forcing one group (wealthy, soda-drinkers, etc.) to pay for the health insurance of another group.
4. Forcing future generations to pay for the healthcare of the present generation.
5. Forcing patients to participate in a government-run plan.
6. Forcing doctors to participate in a government-run plan.
7. Forcing hospitals and other healthcare providers to participate in a government-run plan.
8. Forcing insurance companies to compete with a government-run plan.
9. Forcing insurance companies to write policies that offer coverage for specific conditions.
10. Forcing one group (older Americans on Medicare) to accept reduced benefits in order to fund other public health care plans.
Americans are not stupid. We realize that we must act now to bring a halt to this leftist-led, lemming-like leap into health care he!l. Well, we are mad as he!l, and we are not going to take it anymore!
The politicians are turning a deaf ear to us so we need to crank up the volume until they get the message:
Earth to politicians: Health care is not a right, doctors are not your slaves, businesses are not your banks, the wealthy are not your wet nurses, and patients are not your pawns.

What a great link you provided at the top of this page!
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/media/
I used it to send the following letter to the national media and local media in Jacksonville, Florida:
The various health-care reform bills brewing in Congress, dubbed "PelosiObamaReidCare," threaten to violate our rights on a massive scale unprecedented in our country's history.
America was founded on philosophy that you are an end-in-yourself, you have the right to exist for your own sake, no one has the right to force you to live for the sake of others, you have the right to be left alone to pursue your own ends in life as long as you do not infringe on the liberty of others to do the same, and the proper role of government is to protect your rights.
Search long and hard, but you won't find any "right" to health care in our founding documents. A "right" to health care requires that some (the wealthy, business owners, health-care providers) be forced to serve the health-care needs of others. This follows the Marxist doctrine: From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
The use of government power to force individuals in group A to serve the health-care needs of individuals in group B is a violation of the rights of individuals in group A. This is immoral and unconstitutional.

I would like to think that I could take some credit for this because I sent the following email on 10/25/2008 to my elected officials here in Florida:
From: garamoni at gmail.com
Subject: Free Market Medicine
Date: October 25, 2008 9:42:17 PM EDT
To: Charlie.Crist at myflorida.com, king.james.web at flsenate.gov, doc at votedocrenuart.com
Dear Governor Crist, Senator King, and Dr. Renuart:
November 4th is near, so I know you are all very busy right now. I don't expect an immediate response to this email, but I do want to hear from you by the end of this year.
Given the prospect that Senator Obama, Representative Pelosi, and Senator Reid are likely to have virtually unstoppable control of the federal government next January, we should all be very concerned that statism will accalerate and engulf many areas of our lives, including the doctor-patient relationship. I am writing the email because I want each of you to keep the marketplace for medical services as free as possible from government interference.
I am a 61 year-old clinical psychologist and have been practicing in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida for 17 years. I am a registered Republican with Libertarian leanings who wants minimal governmental interference in social and economic relationships. I have never been very active politically, but given what is happening in the polls, I am very afraid of an unckecked Democrat-run government and therefore I feel compelled to become politically active.
So I want all three of you to know about Arizona's Proposition 101, which is on the ballot in Arizona and is discussed in George Will's 10/26/08 Op Ed Column in the Washington Post, Page B07. Here are the first three paragraphs of Will's article, "Stopping Dr. Statism":
On Election Day, Arizonans can give the nation the gift of a good example. They can enact a measure that could shape the health-care debate that will arrest or accelerate the nation's slide into statism. Proposition 101, the Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act, would put the following language into Arizona's Constitution:
"Because all people should have the right to make decisions about their health care, no law shall be passed that restricts a person's freedom of choice of private health care systems or private plans of any type. No law shall interfere with a person's or entity's right to pay directly for lawful medical services, nor shall any law impose a penalty or fine, of any type, for choosing to obtain or decline health care coverage or for participation in any particular health care system or plan."
What do those people who oppose Proposition 101 favor? Some support legislation sponsored by the Democratic leader in the state House of Representatives. It would establish a severe single-payer system, proscribing private health insurance in the state and requiring almost everyone not on Medicare to enroll in a state health-care program. Under that program, a state commission would stipulate the menu of services and medications and could even decide which hospitals could add which technologies.

I want each of you to support the creation of political firewalls at the state level to protect us from the crippling effects of more statism in medicine at the federal level. I think drafting a similar Proposition 101 for Florida would be a good start. (To Dr. Renuart: Hey, Doc, I am voting for you. Sponsoring and being identified with this measure would get your promising political career off to a good start.)
. . . Please protect us. One thing you can do is to protect the voluntary nature of the doctor-patient relationship by allowing us to vote on a Florida equivalent of Arizona's Proposition 101 as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Gregory L. Garamoni, Ph.D.

I would like to think that I could take some credit for this because I sent the following email on 10/25/2008 to my elected officials here in Florida:

Dear Governor Crist, Senator King, and Dr. Renuart:
November 4th is near, so I know you are all very busy right now. I don't expect an immediate response to this email, but I do want to hear from you by the end of this year.
