Victory With No Honor - Senate Passes Healthcare Bill

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — sunil @ 9:06 am

Special sweetheart deals for Florida and Connecticut are overshadowed by what may be the most expensive and openly public bribe in U.S. history for the state of Nebraska. The Corn Husker’s are mostly insulted by Sen. Nelsons last minute deal to circumvent paying some 100 million dollars a year to help foot the costs of the bill but even the Governor of that state, Dave Heineman, says Nebraskans don’t want this kind of exclusion.

In England, of course, there is no constitutional separation of powers. The UK is governed by the party that commands a majority in the legislative assembly, so in theory it can introduce whatever laws it likes; the UK government is restrained not by the vigilance of the legislature but by its desire to be re-elected at the end of its term.

Frankly, when a highly respected Republican chooses to endorse a Democratic presidential candidate just a few days before a presidential election, one has to wonder, what went wrong? The question here is for the Republicans, because whether or not the Democrats thought Powell’s decision was forthcoming they now hold a major trump card they do not need to question.

All this changes with the introduction of the Supreme Court which gives the law lords their own court building and a new distinct identity and higher profile - a profile which should be raised further by the fact that there will be much better public access to their proceedings.

In fact, there was always separation between the government and the judges, a separation that was guaranteed by our constitutional conventions and by the prickly independence of the judges themselves, who have always resented anything that smacked of government interference.

So will the Supreme Court take up the question of the healthcare bills constitutionality? We might want to refer that question to the birthers who after enduring almost two years of public ridicule are still looking for one honest judge to give them and the American public the right to glance at the real Obama birth certificate. The BC is only one of about twenty or so other documents about Obama’s past that remain mysteriously albeit conspicuously missing from anything that might be construed as an open and public record on Mr. Transparency.

Already heard loud and clear are the voices of the Democratic holy trinity of Obama, Reid and Pelosi referring to the Senate passage of the bill as history in the making. Getting out ahead of themselves again and failing to note that the terror of 9/11, hurricane Katrina and the recent attack on servicemen at Ft. Hood are also history. If the bill remains in check the costs passed on to America will also make history and the only holy thing about that will be the holes in the socks of those who can’t afford to pay for it.

This is a victory of the Democratic House and Senate that will indeed make history but it will be filed in our national annuls as a victory without honor.

It is well known that Abraham Lincoln was at times referred to as the prophet President, but perhaps we should include patriot John Adams in the list of founders with powers of divination. Could Adams have been looking into the future all the way up to the Christmas of 2009 when he said “In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.”

The skullduggery, the back room deals and all of the elements that were engaged to ram this bill down the throats of an unwilling citizenry have drawn remarks from statesmen and ordinary citizens across the nation. Words like bribery, tyranny, foul and worse have popped up repeatedly in those reactions.

Now let one old preacher be forgiven for what might be construed as excessive iteration by using yet one more negative term to define the behavior of the House and Senate. I will borrow both the term and its use in its own context from a Bible verse I have quoted all too much of late. The word is “wicked.” The context in which it is found is as follows.

Politics - Opinion of Public Opinion Polling

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — sunil @ 9:06 am

One of the ways to learn what people are thinking about current problems is what things they want. This is by their reactions to their daily life through polls of public opinion. It is often possible to determine how millions of people feel about any matter of common interest by asking a smaller number of people by a much larger group called a sampling. Through the polling of small samples many things can be learned about public opinion in a very short span of time and at little expense.

Earlier this weak whiles candidate Mangudadatu family members and supporters were traveling through rival Amputuan Township to file paperwork in the provincial capital for the elections in May 2010 they were high jacked and massacred. In all 46 people were killed in two separate attacks. The first attacks left a total of 24 people dead bodies riddled with bullets; between the victims were Mangudadatu’s wife and his two sisters. The second attack not that far away claimed 22 more supporters of Mangudadatu’s that were left piled up in hillside grave including a very visual pregnant woman. Out of the 46 victims 20 were journalist just doing their jobs covering the political campaign.

Because of the latest incidents that have taking place in the southern region of the Philippines, president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has placed the region under emergency rule to find those guilty of the heinous crimes described as the worst massacre in recent Philippines history. Under emergency rule army forces will conduct random searches and checkpoints to try to locate the gunmen responsible for the crimes.

Regarding the HAMP program (Home Affordability Modification Program) - this program is designed to help people who are in foreclosure or going to be in foreclosure to keep their homes. This program is designed to assist people who have suffered some sort of financial hardship due to a reduction in income such as the loss of a job for your spouse or experienced an increase in the mortgage payment as in the case of an adjustable rate mortgage that adjusted up. The household must still have income however credit is not a factor.

The first important task facing anyone who conducts a poll of opinion is to determine just what it is he wants to know. If for example the main purpose is to find out how the American people feel about the United Nations, the essential first step is to pick out the particular aspects of this broad subject that will be investigated. It has to be decided also, whether it is sufficient to find out only what people’s attitudes and opinions are. It may be important to know why they feel and think as they do…How intensely they hold their views, will rest on the extent to which they are informed about the subject matter. The likely bearing of their views will show on the way they will act.

While the recent killings have shocked the Philippines nation, given the fact that the southern region is the poorest area in the country, violence similar to the recent massacre have taken place before. Since the 1970’s over 120,000 people have lost their lives to political wars in the southern region. Until the Philippines government officially steps in and take over the area from certain powerful families that run the region with an iron fist, murders and kidnappings will continue throughout every election leaving more innocent people to die
