I spend alot of time listening to talk radio. Not because I am a right wing nut locked in his basement in his underwear. Because, I cannot seem to get enough information about our country, our lives, and our futures.
The main stream media spouts the Obama agenda, the Kalifornia way of life. More money spent equals a better government is their mantra. I remember growing up as a kid, I thought Walter Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley, and the other guys on ABC were really telling the truth. We only had three channels and I thought they all told the truth. Walter Cronkite was "Uncle Walter", he reminded us all of a family member who knew the truth. Back then I did not even know what a Liberal or a Conservative was. I do remember that when Barry Goldwater was running for President, the Big Three protrayed him as a raving lunatic, and I believed them.
This is the way it was in the late 60's and 70's.
I finally woke up in the early 80's. I was already retired with the MS and was spending alot of time listening to radio. I did not care for some of the music and by a miracle, I stumbled upon AM talk radio. I heard Rush Limbaugh for the first time. I could not believe what I was hearing. You mean to tell me that Bill Clinton is something called a Liberal ? What was a Liberal. I began my education in Government that Maryville High School never touched upon. Even now, As I type this, I am listening to Rush via Inernet Radio, thru some station I have never heard of, What a deal.
Now to the way things Really are.
There is a rebirth of Conservative Government that is going to make 1994 look like Kid's Play. Tha American people have had it and are standing up, speaking out, and will not be denied. Average Americans, who never dreamed about being in Politics, are jumping into the fray. They are average people, they are just like you and me. If I would not get in extreme trouble with Social Security I would run for something, anything. Maybe the Hamilton County School Board, I can see it now, Thurman and Thurmer are going crazy.
The Imaculate Conception of Barrack Hussein Obama caused Americans to think, If he can be President with no experience, I can be a U.S. Senator too. Obama has crammed "stuff" down our throats for 20 months and we are now sick to our stomachs. Americans are going to vomit the residue of Obama's Cram down November 2, right in the faces of Obama and his minions. You know what a Minion is, it is a Demon that assists Satan, at his beckon call. Obama has bowed down to Muslim leaders in the Middle East and turned his back on Israel. Israel is God's chosen people, If you want God's blessing, back Israel. Turn your back on Israel, God will turn his back on you.
We are in a Holy War with Muslims. There is a potential right now for a Mumbai type attack in this country. Is our Government all over these potentials, no. Let's just make nice and they won't hurt us. These people want us Dead, Period. According to the Quarn, ot however they spell it, If you don't convert, you die. There is one solution to this threat. Turn Iran, Afghanistan, Irag, Syria, and a few others, into another Ocean, The Cruise Lines need somewhere new to go anyway.
The Seasoned Citizens, you know, us folks on Social Security, we are the current cash cow for the Obama Administration. Keep taking money away from us, more to spend on Stimulus and Obamacare, which they still have not read.
I pity the less educated of our population. Those Senior who don't know how to negotiate thru the rough waters that you just daily work just to survive. I spend 20 hours a week working on either Medications, Bills, Benefits, and doing other peoples work. When I say other peoples work, correcting mistakes that Doctor's Offices and Fed Ex and other make and they leave it up to you to fix the mess.
I don't have the solution for any of this, but I know, the first step is cleanout the swamp called congress. The rest will follow.
Remember, Listen to Boortz, Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Thompson, and Karl Rove.
More to Come, Have to go work on some problems that someone else caused.

Erlanger North Er Problems
On August 19, My wife flipped our Jeep Cherokee on the W Road. Thank God she was not injured. She drifted off the right shoulder and over corrected, striking the rock wall and then flippling. She was not entrapped but could not get out of the vehicle on her own. Walden's Ridge Emergency Service (WRES) responded and Jody Clift and another member went inside and cut her down.My Sincere Thanks for these gentlemen. When I arrived, she was sitting on the gaurdrail, shaken but no cuts and bruises. Regardless of her appearance, she could have suffered some internal injuries and myself and other family members thought she should be checked out. She refused an ambulance ride because we were about 5 minutes from Erlanger North and she did not want the added expense.
When we arrived at Erlanger North we informed the lady at the counter that she had been thru a rollover. She did not show any sign of concern. There was no Triage, no pre qualification, just have a seat and we will be with you. The waiting room had several patients ahead of her, even though you would think a rollover might move her up thru the Triage System. She waited and waited, watching the "patients" ahead of her. Most were complaining of back pain, others anxiety. They exhibited systoms of withdrawal, extreme sweating, agitated and such were obvious. We watched as the steady parade of patients entered an came out rather quickly with a script in hand. One Anxiety patient, after one hour, started cussing and stormed out of building, I am sure to enter the traffic flow with a pre set case of road rage.
One patient was so alarming, my daughter in law called my son, a Hamilton County Deputy and had a Deputy dispatched to the Hospital. He was standing outside and beating his chest like Tarzan. When we left, the same Deputy was still talking to this gentlemen. After 3 hours, Deanna was called back to see a Doctor. This man was a wreck, totally overwhelmed. He was in the room maybe 2 minutes. He listened to her chest and when Deanna commented on the groups outside as drug seekers, he said "Yes, he knew". Deanna was discharged and that was it.
No security was visible execept for an elderly black man in uniform without a weapon and really he did not stay around much. The news shows shootings at Hospitals on a regular basis, These individuals do pose a risk and my wife and family felt at risk. This was Erlanger's responsibility, to provide a safe environment for patients and workers alike.They have failed.
After my wife communticated all this to me, I tried to wade thru the maze of upper management, to find someone to complain to. Finally I got a name , Mickey Lilitta. I called his number 2 times and his secretary stated he wasn't in the office much, to try his cell. One eveing about 4:45 PM I contacted Mr Lilitta on his cell, he advised he would be home in about 15 minutes and would call me then. No Call. I have tried sveral times to contact Lilitta or just someone to listen to me.
I now have the bills, so far.$ 350.00 from Erlanger and $548.00 from Emergency Physicians. I have NO intention of paying these bills. Now exactly what did we receive from these people, nothing. Just a trip to Erlanger North and an exposure to the Drug Seeking world we live in. An Emergency room out of control. I was not satisfied that she walked out of there safe. She could have dropped dead from an internal injury, NO Thanks to these people. To my knowledge, Triage has been around a long time, but not there. It appears Erlanger doesn't not provide an avenue for Customer Complaints, Maybe the Court of Public Opinion will wake them up. Access to upper management should be very simple, an open door policy, unless Upper management simply does not care.
If they cannot secure the ER, have a Triage in place, and give quality patient care, close the ER !

What every American should read !
Six months ago, President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rammed Obamacare down the throats of an unwilling American public. Half a year removed from the unprecedented legislative chicanery and backroom dealing that characterized the bill's passage, we know much more about the bill than we did then. A few of the revelations:
» Obamacare won't decrease health care costs for the government. According to Medicare's actuary, it will increase costs. The same is likely to happen for privately funded health care.
» As written, Obamacare covers elective abortions, contrary to Obama's promise that it wouldn't. This means that tax dollars will be used to pay for a procedure millions of Americans across the political spectrum view as immoral. Supposedly, the Department of Health and Human Services will bar abortion coverage with new regulations but these will likely be tied up for years in litigation, and in the end may not survive the court challenge.
» Obamacare won't allow employees or most small businesses to keep the coverage they have and like. By Obama's estimates, as many as 69 percent of employees, 80 percent of small businesses, and 64 percent of large businesses will be forced to change coverage, probably to more expensive plans.
» Obamacare will increase insurance premiums -- in some places, it already has. Insurers, suddenly forced to cover clients' children until age 26, have little choice but to raise premiums, and they attribute to Obamacare's mandates a 1 to 9 percent increase. Obama's only method of preventing massive rate increases so far has been to threaten insurers.
» Obamacare will force seasonal employers -- especially the ski and amusement park industries -- to pay huge fines, cut hours, or lay off employees.
» Obamacare forces states to guarantee not only payment but also treatment for indigent Medicaid patients. With many doctors now refusing to take Medicaid (because they lose money doing so), cash-strapped states could be sued and ordered to increase reimbursement rates beyond their means.
» Obamacare imposes a huge nonmedical tax compliance burden on small business. It will require them to mail IRS 1099 tax forms to every vendor from whom they make purchases of more than $600 in a year, with duplicate forms going to the Internal Revenue Service. Like so much else in the 2,500-page bill, our senators and representatives were apparently unaware of this when they passed the measure.
» Obamacare allows the IRS to confiscate part or all of your tax refund if you do not purchase a qualified insurance plan. The bill funds 16,000 new IRS agents to make sure Americans stay in line.
If you wonder why so many American voters are angry, and no longer give Obama the benefit of the doubt on a variety of issues, you need look no further than Obamacare, whose birthday gift to America might just be a GOP congressional majority.

Glenn Beck's Honor
Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor 2010 was a call for America to return to our roots.
Glenn spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where as Sarah Palin said " Two Score and 7 years ago " MLK Jr. made his exceptional " I have a Dream " Speech.
What more honor could Glenn and Company have paid to MLK Jr. than to speak about America's return to God on this date and at this sacred place.
Every Public School in this Country should Re-Play this entire event to the student population. Conservatives wonder why our Country has veered so far off course and then elected a Radical President. The removal of God from our Schools was a major contributor. Our Youth has no direction, no moral compass. There is a small minority, who thanks to their parents, know the truth and follow God in their lives. They will be the leaders and new cornerstones in this Nation.
All is not lost. Brave men like Glenn Beck who will stand on Government Property and proclain the need for God in our lives and Country will lead the way. Who will be the next Ronald Reagan or John Wayne ? These Patriots are out there, seeking direction. The future will see a rebirth of citizens placing God back in our Country, as it was founded.
Many thanks to Glenn Beck and all the others who stood up on those steps and told the truth !
November is Coming !

Chrysler Finance Expects Churches to make Payments.
Every Day I cease to be amazed. My Brother in Law called this morning. He is battling Cancer and cannot work any longer. He has a Dodge truck financed thru Chrysler Finance.
Chrysler Finance called last week, he is 1 month behind on his payments. He pleaded with the caller that he needed a refinance, some help, any help, to keep the truck rather than let it go back. The caller next dropped a bombshell. He recommended he go to a local Church and ask for assistance. My Brother in Law could not believe what he heard. He asked what do I do next month, go to another Church and repeat. The called said yes.
My Brother in Law told the Caller he would go to Church for only one reason, to worship God, not to beg for money.
It appears this is where we have gotten to. The Financial Sector, suffering thru a Recession, is expecting people to turn to Churches to keep them afloat. My Brother in Law reminded the caller that Chrysler had had recieved Government/Citizen's Money and now they were looking to Churches to fund them. The caller stated that Chrysler Finance did not recieve any Government/Citizen's Funds. I have not yet taken the time to research this claim as I am too upset.
Where in the world are we headed when the Financial Sector tells us to bleed money from the Faithful. This is an outrage. My Brother in Law told the Caller before he would do as they said to come and get the Truck, Period. The Caller reminded him he was on a taped line which he replied, Fine, Bring it to Court and let everyone hear this outrage.
I always welcome feedback. I am interested to know if this is becoming widespread with the economic downturn or is this an isolated incident perpatrated by an overzealous irrelegious libertine.
