			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you haven&#8217;t heard, there is a national raging debate on health care going on in this country.</p>
<p>I would imagine with all the yelling and screaming that is going on with this issue you would have to be        A. ( Dead, in which case you don&#8217;t need health care )    or       B.(  Up on the international space station, which in that case Doctors don&#8217;t make house calls so your screwed)  to not hear this debate. I understand that with the phenomenal job our legislators have done with the other pieces of legislation this year, anything to take over close to 1/6 of the U.S. economy is going to stir up passions. Get people riled up! Make us want to shout and yell!!</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s time to chill out just a lil bit. The yelling and screaming after every answer we don&#8217;t agree with that I have witnessed at many town hall videos across the country makes us look like a better looking, well dressed ( thanks for noticing Nancy Pelosi) group of Code Pink supporters. Our cause may be just, but we still look like the loons who have no argument on the left when we scream and shout.Now I know this puts me at odds with some very good and honest people who are passionate and earnest in their belief that we need to raise as much Kane as possible before the summer recess is over so let me explain why I believe this heresy .</p>
<p>The outpouring of people to the town hall meetings has put some congress people on notice that something has happened in the country that possibly they were not paying attention too. The TEA party movement is alive and well and not something that was manufactured by FOX news or some nefarious George Soros like billionaire for causes on the right. It is a thriving and vocal outpouring of everyday citizens and is now moving from the gathering at State Capitol stage to addressing our grievances to  elected officials.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s a <strong>DAMN Beautiful</strong> thing.</p>
<p>The one thing though that the main stream media and their liberal and socialist allies tried to stick on the TEA party movement was that we were all angry, and had a bad disposition like  Keith Olberman. Most of the video taken from these events showed families from all backgrounds attending together. Young and old alike SMILING and applauding at the things being said by the various speakers at those events. The police never reported any incidents. The venues were left better than we found them. The forces of deceptive change were left with nothing to say but that the movement was &#8221; ASTROTURF&#8221;.</p>
<p>How long ago that seems.</p>
<p>The videos coming out of the Town Hall meetings show faces that I&#8217;m sure could be found from those original rallies back from February and April. Those people who originally showed up in force to protest the insane TARP legislation are now ready to take on the President&#8217;s health care takeover bill. The demeanor has changed though. Health Care town hall&#8217;s are in some instances looking  and more importantly SOUNDING like your at a wrestling match and the wrestler who looks like Osma Bin Laden just entered the ring and flipped everyone the bird. A question is asked, congressperson ( blank) starts to answer and before one sentence is out the crowd starts yelling and screaming.</p>
<p>I understand that the passions are high and the stakes are enormous for this country. We are on the correct side in this debate, the Federal Government has no business trying to takeover health care and destroy it in the name of saving it. Socialism has NEVER worked in ANY country across the span of history and it never will!!</p>
<p>The yelling and screaming though makes us look like those on the left that have run out of ideas and can only shout and scream and throw temper tantrums to try to intimidate and harass. We won the public relations battle in April by showing that thousands of people can come together to protest and address our grievances in a civil matter. We can win this battle also if those same calm and civil minded people show up in force and tell our elected representatives that  we are not going to allow them to destroy our best in the world health care system.We just need to make sure that we don&#8217;t look like a bunch of Chicago style political cronies and hacks in opposing this.</p>
<p>Let the LEFT muddle in the muck and slime while we take the country back district by district and state by state.</p>
<p>My friend and fellow RFC Radio host Matt Mccormick was at the John Dingell town hall meeting and has a different take on this than mine.  Please take a look at his video and what he has to say<br />

So am I saying don&#8217;t believe that they are going broke? No. I&#8217;m saying don&#8217;t believe their report in terms of years, it will be sooner. From Washington AP&#8230; WASHINGTON (AP) &#8212; Social Security and Medicare are fading even faster under the weight of the recession, heading for insolvency years sooner than previously expected, the government warned Tuesday. Social Security will start paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes in 2016, a year sooner than projected last year, and the giant trust fund will be depleted by 2037, four years sooner, trustees reported. The Federal government has constantly revised their numbers DOWNWARD for when it goes cash negative since the last major overhaul of the Social Security trust fund was done in 1983.

<p>So am I saying don&#8217;t believe that they are going broke? No. I&#8217;m saying don&#8217;t believe their  report in terms of years, it will be sooner. From Washington AP&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>WASHINGTON (AP)<span style="font-style:italic;"> &#8212; Social Security and Medicare are fading even faster under the weight of the recession, heading for insolvency years sooner than previously expected, the government warned Tuesday.

<p>The Federal government has constantly revised their numbers DOWNWARD for when it goes cash negative since the last major overhaul of the Social Security trust fund was done in 1983. This whole damn thing has been a ponzi scheme for years and those of us who are still in our 30&#8242;s will <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">NEVER</span></span> receive the full benefits that we are owed from the system. If you don&#8217;t believe me, read this oh so cheerful article from the people in the know over at the <a href="http://www.heritage.org/Research/SocialSecurity/wm2439.cfm">Heritage Foundation</a>.</p>
<p>But than again maybe I&#8217;m just being negative, I&#8217;m sure we could just print more money like President Obama is doing now. I&#8217;m sure that will work &#8230;&#8230;right?!?!?!</p>
