Now, I know some (okay, many) think Glenn Beck is a wing nut but, do yourself a big favor and view the following link with video.  It just might ‘fundamentally transform’ your thinking about the current administration’s new ‘transparency’ when it comes to health care:

In the book of Acts in the Bible, they tried implementing a social gospel where they had all things in common, and it didn’t work.  When the pilgrims came to this country, they first tried a social gospel where they had all things in common, and it didn’t work.  Every country throughout history has tried a social gospel and it hasn’t worked.  Oh, but we’re Americans and it will work here, right?

Wrong!  You know why?

Because the old adage is true:

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” - George Santayana

Instead, we blindly ignore history and, instead of heeding this warning, warmly embrace the following quote:

“From each according to his ability to each according to his need“- Karl Marx

Get ready.  They are most likely going to have this on the president’s desk to sign into law.  However, this is only the beginning!

The following linked article exposes one of the most obvious lies coming from the current administration regarding transparency.  Here are a couple teaser quotes to get you started:

An Associated Press examination of 17 major agencies’ handling of FOIA requests found denials 466,872 times, an increase of nearly 50% from the 2008 fiscal year under Bush.

On March 16 to mark annual Sunshine Week, designed to promote openness in government, Obama applauded himself by issuing a statement:  “As Sunshine Week begins, I want to applaud everyone who has worked to increase transparency in government and recommit my administration to be the most open and transparent ever.“

Who was that person that said something about a lie being told often enough can then be perceived as being the truth?  It’s right on the tip of my tongue.  Oh, now I remember (thank you Google); it was Joseph Goebbels!

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Hey, if it worked for Nazi Germany, it should work here, right?

There is a big flap about what was spoken over the intercom system the other day at a New Jersey Wal-Mart.  Apparently, the most recent turn of events has resulted in the arrest of the alleged perpetrator while patrons of the store continue to boycott.  Here is the link:

In no way am I condoning this so-called ‘prank’ as anything else than insensitive and biased and prejudiced, etc.  However, what if the tables were turned and the ethnicity of the directive was anything other than the particular race targeted?  I mean, here we are at this point in our nation’s history still dealing with racism while it is more than apparent that we have definitely turned the corner on this issue.  As Rodney King said during the riots in Los Angeles oh those many years ago “can’t we all just get along?”

I’m just sayin’…….
