Okay, I need to know. Do any of you actually think we need to apologize for attempting to keep our borders secure, to control immigration by expecting it to be done legally? If we don't control immigration we would be opening our country's doors to everyone in the world. How can they all be cared for, housed, given employment, education and healthcare? We now have our Asst. Secretary of State declaring to the Chinese that we Americans are oh so bad, nearly equal to the Chinese in our record of human rights violations! Following is the shocking story. We Americans should be outraged that once again, and in perhaps its worst example, our government is apologizing for evil America......
The New York Post writes this Editorial: Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner reports that in recent talks with China, US officials put America's human-rights record on a par with Beijing's."Part of a mature [US-Chinese] relationship is that you have an open discussion, where you not only raise the other guy's problems, but you raise your own, and you have a discussion about it, about your own [problems]," Posner said. "We did plenty of that."
Moreover, he said, "experts from the US side" talked about America's "treatment of Muslim Americans in an immigration context." They even ripped Arizona's new immigration law "as a troubling trend in our society." Bragged Posner: "We brought it up early and often."
No doubt they did. It's hard to know where to begin here.
Perhaps with the way China deals with its Muslim population -- the Uighurs?
Last year, Chinese riot police killed hundreds of them.
America, by contrast, freely admits Muslim immigrants (Pakistani-born Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad comes to mind) -- and the White House can't bring itself to use the term "Islamist terrorist" even as Islamist terrorists are doubling down on their efforts to kill Americans in the streets.
China, of course, ships North Korean refugees found on their side of that bleak border back to Pyongyang -- where certain, agonizing death awaits them.
There are no valid comparisons here.
China is one of the most flagrant violators of human rights on the planet, and for the Obama administration even to hint that America is on the same plane is despicable.
Once more, for emphasis.
Despicable.
Posner shames America. [And along with Posner, Hillary Clinton has now been tainted by this belief, as she has not condemned it. Good luck with that hope of ever being our President, Hillary!]

Texas doctors are opting out of Medicare at alarming rates, frustrated by reimbursement cuts they say make participation in government-funded care of seniors unaffordable. Two years after a survey found nearly half of Texas doctors weren't taking some new Medicare patients, new data shows 100 to 200 a year are now ending all involvement with the program. Before 2007, the number of doctors opting out averaged less than a handful a year. “This new data shows the Medicare system is beginning to implode,” said Dr. Susan Bailey.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7009807.html

Woody Allen has a strange take on the democracy that allowed him to become rich and famous.The "Scoop" director said it would be a cool idea for President Barack Obama to be dictator for for a few years. Why?
So he could get things done without all the hassle of opposing views getting in the way.

Press Freedom, Sure. But No Questions. Obama signs press freedom act -- then refuses press questions...
From CBS News: So after he signed the bill, and as the press "wranglers" began aggressively herding us out of the room, I asked if he still has confidence in BP. He ignored the question so I tried this: "In the interest of press freedom, would you take a couple questions on BP?"That did elicit a smile, and he told me I was free to ask questions. Someone else shouted, "Will you answer them?"
He said he's not holding a press conference today as we were escorted out the door.

Front Page Magazine writes: The threat from Islam seems to be growing. For example, the last twelve months saw the largest number ever of attempted and successful terrorist attacks on American soil. Meanwhile, books such as Paul Sperry’s Infiltration, and Sperry and David Gaubatz’s Muslim Mafia warn that Muslim Brotherhood agents have penetrated deep into the corridors of power and influence.Yet official America is still in denial. The words “jihad,” “Islam,” “Islamic terrorism” and just plain “terrorism” are off-limits in polite government and military circles. Attorney General Eric Holder couldn’t even bring himself to use the term “radical Islam” when questioned on the subject the other day. http://frontpagemag.com/2010/05/18/harry-potter-and-the-vanishing-jihad/

Surely it comes as no surprise that more and more physicians are discontinuing their participation in public insurance programs under the new regime. Low rates have always been problematic and have forced physicians to limit the percent of such patients on their panel, or to opt out entirely simply to make ends meet. There is already a shortage of internists nationwide, and projections are that by 2025 there will be 35,000 to 45,000 fewer than the population needs. With internists increasingly unwilling to accept Medicare patients, where will Americans get the care they need when they need it most?! Urgent care and emergency care centers (which for the most part accept Medicare) are expensive and hardly the appropriate level of care for most senior needs. Concierge medicine is far too expensive for most on a fixed income. We need to reform health care reform!
ReplyDeleteYour comment represents the reasoning behind the so-called death panels, for there just won't be enough physicians to care for all in a timely way. There would not be enough Internships or Residencies available even if we could educate many more highly qualified medical students.
ReplyDeleteGreat insights here....I just cannot understand why anyone with the slightest brain power could possibly support THE WON...he is so full of it, and has surrounded himself with incompetent staff (ie., Napalitano, et al) that these people could not properly organize a two car funeral !
