Health?

The new health care plan for Texas under Governor Rick Perry stinks.

Not only has this stupid idiot cut off funding for Planned Parenthood - one of the only places low income women can access health care, he has totally screwed up Medicaid for all Texans who need health care.

By his actions, all federal funding for Womens health care has been abolished.

Care like screening and treatments for people who have cancer. People who are not female. People who need all kinds of care, have worked all their lives, and are now deemed unnecessary because they have worked so much they have become disabled. Now that you can no longer provide a service, you are no longer viable to keep alive? Now that your work life is over, just dump you in the ditch and let you die?

How is this going to work out for the people you treat this way? Or do you mean to foster terrorism? Or are YOU the terrorist? 

No matter What your opinion about what goes on in other peoples uteri, No matter What religion you pretend to follow, there will come a time when you have gone to far.

Governor Rick Perry may have just reached that goal.

Governor Rick Perry is just asking for a revolt, by his revolting attitudes and , worse, his revolting laws.

 He and all Republicans purporting to be Christians should actually READ THE BIBLE he supposedly follows.

Where does Jesus tell his followers to dump the poor and disabled into the ditch and cover them with dirt before they die? 

Where does it say in the Bible that abortion is wrong, or that The Government has any business at all in a woman womb? 

To say these people are Christians is so wrong. How can people stupidly follow these disgusting politicians? How is it that so many so called preachers can dupe so many people? How can they call themselves men of God when it is so very, very obvious they are not. These false preachers are of the Devil. and shall reap what they sow. \

Don't be lazy. If you call yourself a Christian, at least read the New Testament. At LEAST Know what you are talking about. Don't let someone else interpret for you. You can read. You have a brain. If you seek this source to discriminate against other people, at least know what it says.

Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, You are a murderer. by your policies, you are killing people who are already alive, are breathing the breath of life, have done their job without stealing from you. 

You will face God sometime.

It could not be soon enough for the people you are killing in your state of Texas.

You are an instrument of the Devil.

Republican Platform

Are we watching the policies, or listening to the hype?

So far, the republicans and the Democrats have shown some of their true colors. As have the T-Partiers. It is difficult to believe.
What is totally odd, is that apparently the Republican voter wants their representatives to :

A- restrict rights of women ( according to Governor Rick Perry of Texas, this is an emergency legislation, to be acted on before jobs bills can be considered)

B- bust up the unions ( a matter of budgetary concern, according to Governor Wilson of Wisconsin, and, apparently all of the Republican officeholders in Wisconsin. Which, for some unfathomable reason were voted in. This was a budgetary concern, until the Democrats refused to participate in the vote. Then it was decided in order to strip people of their constitutional rights, it ‘became’ non-budgetary. And was passed anyway. That is Real representation. Congratulations on your apparently voted in representation, Wisconsin.)

C- Create a health care system that will allow you to become sick - but within limits. Via the ‘voucher system” you get so many vouchers to pay a PRIVATE Insurance company for insurance. Any price they want to charge you after that, you pay for. (This will help to weed out the very sickly, and very poor. They will not have any access to medical treatment, so they will most likely die. The thought behind this? If you are not wealthy enough to buy insurance, and too sick to work, you should die and take the burden of your poor, sick self off society. In this case, the society of the well to do.)

D- Cut funding for the schools. This is related to B. We can save oodles of money by only partially funding our schools. After all, if you educate the populace to much, they may just realize that they have an absolute right to vote, to choose what they want done with their money the government has collected from them in the form of taxes and fees. We have a right to have a say in how they spend our money, whether it is stuck in a “rainy day” Fund or in the Governors personal ‘stimulus fund’ that no one can look at or audit. Or is it just Governor Rick Perry of Texas that has his own, personal, hands off slush fund while the state of Texas is 27 billion in debt?

E-Do away with unemployment insurance - if you are without a job, you should not just stay at home sucking up that fabulous unemployment insurance. After all, it pays about 2/3 of what you got at your regular job. If you really want a job, you can always get one at the local greasy spoon. If you cannot cook, wait tables or wash dishes (for less than min wage. Often these jobs go to illegal’s who get paid under the table. That’s totally good for our country, huh?) not to worry. Aluminum is being bought for 23cents a pound. Pick up cans.

F- Do away with rights to unimpeded travel. - don’t even mention the airlines, even driving down the road, you are subject to be stopped at any time and asked for your drivers license, registration, proof of insurance. Then you are grilled about where you are going, where you have been, and why. After which you are interrogated about the possibilities of your hauling meth, or coke, or some other sort of narcotic. When you assure the police officer that no, indeed you are not, you are then asked if it is alright for them to search your car. This is after they have- looked through the back window, the side window, the drivers window, and more than likely, stuck their head in to look around. Just what kind of search do they need to be doing? How bad are the American people, anyway? If you happen to know your rights, which everyone should, but many do not ( see item D) and tell them no way, they proceed to detain you and send for a doggy officer to search anyway. Where do you see a problem with this? After all, it is called being ‘tough’ on crime.
G- Believe that waterboarding and other tortures are not torture if they use them. They also mistakenly believe that valuable information is gleaned by this tactic, despite a multitude of evidence it does not.

#Wisconsin #Union vs. #GOP?

As it turns out, this is not really about Wisconsin, not especially about the Unions, either. This is about the control of the working population in the United States of America.
The land of the free…it appears is only free when you are very rich.
A lot of people look down on the union, blaming unions for making prices higher, for the manufacturing to move overseas to seek cheaper workers. It would seem that many people do not understand that if someone doesn’t stand up for the working people, especially unions, all people who work and earn any wage at all are at risk. The reason you have a living wage now is not because of the companies good heart, not because management saw that you and your children had to work sixteen hours a day for food and shelter, not because they did not know.
The companies do not care. The company is only in business to make profit, if it comes at the expense of your life, too bad, so sad, there are more starving people where you come from.
The company does not even care if it is making profit. It want to make more, companies are greedy by their very nature. If they can make a penny more off you, they do not care if you go without heat. Companies have no conscience.

The only way to keep companies and corporations from exploiting all peoples is to be united. The only way to fight money is to overpower it with people. The only way to secure your rights, what few we have left, is to protest, to strike, to stop work. If you want that to be successful, you must get more than one person or two involved. You must have thousands. Hence, a union to protect peoples rights.

Why have we let the powers that be in power? How could have so many so-called sane people voted for them? I know in our case, we did not. But the voting machines say we do. The machines were proven to be rigged before, what would make Americans believe it hasn’t been so again.. What they got by with once, they will attempt to do so again. These are the people that are running and ruining our lives.
What is absolutely amazing is that so many people are still so stupid that they believe what these paid mercenaries are telling them. Rather like the old adage, if you tell someone something long enough, and with enough emphasis, they will believe you, even when it is patently obvious it is against their own best interests.

Well, we had traitors in the Revolutionary war that sided with England. Now, we have traitors in the civil war with the Rich Autocrats, would be dictators who are well on their way.
It started with Reagan, and continues to this day.
When are Americans going to wise up and say no more?

We are condemning our children

We are condemning them to a lifetime of failure.

We are condemning them to a world full of uneducated, illiterate children

We are condemning them to poverty

We are condemning them to jails

We are condemning them to a hopeless future filled with all the wrong things.

We are condemning them to a life without. Music. Art. History.



You think it is bad now? Wait until the budget cuts really kick in. there is a budget shortfall built into the system already. Years ago the budget was sabotaged by the Republicans governing Texas at that time.



This shortfall will only get worse.

Why?

The people in power are refusing to pay their taxes, sucking up as much ad they can of the taxpayers money in the form of subsidies, polluting our atmosphere, our water, our earth for the almighty dollar. Ant we don’t even get any of the dollars.

They are reserved for the very richest.

But that is another subject.



Our children are not getting the funding they need let alone the funding they deserve.

We can fund the bridge across the lake to literally nowhere, but we have to cut funding for our children?

We can spend millions to refurbish the Governors’ mansion, but we have to close schools?

We can pay oil companies to take our money and raise our prices, but we cannot have music or the arts in our classrooms?

We subsidize the power plants to take our money and pollute our atmosphere. We give them billions of dollars for research, and the best they can come up with it to ‘bury the gas underground?’ and ‘how to make money off of filthy coal without people knowing that filthy coal is lignite”

They make quite enough profit off our backs as it is.



Take away all their subsidies.

They don’t need them. They use them to buy our politicians and to repress our children and us.

They use them to keep us in slavery.

They use them to imprison those who do not agree with them. They use them to condemn to death people who need transplants.

Why are we allowing this? The people who live in this country absolutely can afford to take care of its children, its seniors, its disabled.



Not while we are supporting the filthy rich at the same time.



The Republicans rejoiced when they defeated the Democrats tax bill. The one that would raise taxes on the very wealthy 3%, remember, all you people who voted Republican?



This was such a huge victory.



For the super rich.

It was certainly not a victory for our children.

It was not a victory for the seniors.

It was not a victory for the disabled.



Who’s fault is it?

That is obvious.

Does it matter?

Not at this time.

What does?

Who are we going to support? Who are we going to vote for?

Our children, our grandchildren?

Or the politicians who got us here by selling us out to the mega rich, while micromanaging our personal lives, deregulating businesses so they could screw over their customers better, and then believing we are so stupid that we will believe it when they say they are for ‘small government’.



This is a lie.

The only ‘small government’ they are for is the government that has just overseen the systematic looting of the American people for the last 50 years of Republican agenda.

Wake up, people. Or your children just may not.

GOP get out of my body!!

You are such hypocrites!

You claim to be for small government.
You say the Democrats have to much say in your personal life. Did you mean YOUR personal life? It sure seems like you do not mean every other woman that live in the pitiful state of Texas. You do not have a Dr showing you sonograms of your testicles before you make a woman pregnant.
I think you should.

Actually, you should be one of the people to have a mandatory vasectomy to even CONSIDER voting for this.

This lunacy, this illusion of grandeur you republicans have must surely be passed on in the genes. We cannot stand any more of these disgusting, pandering displays in our government circles. You cannot be allowed to propagate. You will simply visit upon an undeserving populace some more of your psychotic delusional idiocy.

You women who would allow this bill to be considered.

How DARE you call yourselves women? How DARE you say you are so much better than me you have the absolute right to tell me what to do with my body? You should have your tubes tied, and sent to the harems in Arabia.

It is obvious you are not an American woman who fought against injustice every since this country was formed. For you to try to shove your beliefs down my throat is beyond traitorous. You should have to serve in an orphanage. You should have to take care of the unwanted children.

This is an outrage.

You cut funding for health insurance, you cut tens of thousands of people off Medicaid, Texas is one of the worst states in the union to try and get assistance from. The operators of social services will tell you over the phone their main job is to find some way to deny people coverage.

People who cannot qualify for Medicaid (they make $200(two hundred) a month or more) , and cannot afford insurance are just supposed to shut up and die. Like in Arizona.
At the same time, you make it almost impossible for a woman to get an abortion for rape. It has to be approved and regulated. Where were you when it was occurring? Trying to force some other poor person to bear yet another child they cannot afford and cannot raise?

Denial of individual liberties.
Shame on you. Words cannot express how repugnant you are.

Balanced Budget

We seem to have a bit of a problem with our national bookkeeping.

They tell us that we owe way to much money, and we are getting in deeper. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that what the register on the checkbook is for?

Why is it that lawmakers always want to balance the budget on the backs of the poor? Could it be that they believe the poor people have no voice?

In Texas they are almost through taking away as much as they can in social services. Now it is time to start closing schools.

In Austin they are looking at a dozen schools to close.

The odd part is, some of the schools are excellent schools. Some of them are poo schools, some not.

It is outrageous that the politicians who run our state cannot think of any place else to cut.

Like the billions of dollars we spend keeping people locked in prisons for non-violent crimes.

That is right, Texas is cutting spending on prisons. Yes, they are going to cut out the medical care, after all, why would you need any kind of medicine in a prison? And, they are talking of taking away a meal a day on the weekends.

Why don't they just give it up?

You cannot jail 2/3rds of the people, and have the other third guard them. This is ridiculous.

We should have the politicians in jail. Then it would become a much nicer place. We should have the politicians going to school also. That would make it a much nicer place.

That is what they are up to. They are going to move the schools to the jails!

That way when your child is cited for bad behavior, they are already in the jail to learn how to show good behavior. Isn't that what jails, eer or schools for?

This is what your tax dollars are used for.

SuperBowl Sunday - Texas Martial Laws

SuperBowl Sunday - Texas Martial Laws



There is a festive feeling in the air this Superbowl weekend. Fans are checking out the weather forecasts for their trip to Dallas, Texas. They will bring snacks and buy beer and add to the “great economy of the great state of Texas.” or so the politicians hope.



http://www.kvue.com/home/Ticket-for-wearing-too-much-perfume--Austin-student-says-yes-115342884.html



They will probably be right. After all, there are a LOT of Steelers and Packer fans that will willingly spend thousands of dollars booking rooms and buying NFL items and probably put a million into the cash register, or more.

Why not? The Super bowl is probably going to be a great game. The Cowboy’s Stadium is brand new, or near enough.

However, perhaps the people who go to the super bowl are not realizing just whom they are supporting.

I refer, amongst others, the ‘Great State of Texas’ s Educational program.

A program which , along with other measures, allows each individual school hire it’s own security and deem that they have the same powers as policemen. This security is obtained from private security companies.



Now, I have worked for private security companies before. Two of them, both in Texas, although not at the Cowboy stadium, nor in Dallas. I do know from conversations with other ‘security officers’ that the conditions at many of the other security companies was similar to the ones I worked for though.



Not to put to fine a point on it, but I certainly would not hire either company to safe guard my children. I would not hire them to safe guard a flat tire. I would not trust either one across the street. Nor any of the ones I heard of.



This would be here nor there, but we seem to have a government in Texas that believe the school security officers have a right to arrest, yes, arrest, our children, haul them to criminal court, fine them up to $500, and book them with a class C misdemeanor that will stay on their permanent records for their whole lives.



The great government of Texas, in it’s infinite wisdom, passed a bill called “ Chapter 37 and added it to the Statutes of Education that says a student can be arrested for ‘bad behavior’ and given a ticket and put into the criminal justice system. What in the world would be so bad as to give a ten year old or younger child a record for life?

How about--say, to much perfume?

This is what one thirteen year old got a hundred and fifty dollar fine for, also a trip to criminal court and charged with a class C mist miner.



You can view the whole story on this webpage ( it is KVUE NEWS out of Austin, Texas.



http://www.kvue.com/home/Ticket-for-wearing-too-much-perfume--Austin-student-says-yes-115342884.html



What in the world are we doing to our children? Why are they in a concentration camp where cursing can get them a ticket, 3 class C misdemeanors for bad behavior leads to a habitual offender charge which can be either a first degree misdemeanor or a felony. This can very well lead to a denial for a job, college, and so on.

Why have we allowed this to happen?



There is presently a movement on in Austin, texas to change this barbaric and ill conceived law. This movement would raise the age of possible tickets and criminal charges to 14.



I am sorry. I do not believe in sending our children to jail for being children. For swearing, for throwing
