Hey you’ll, my last blog piece for this year. I promise to not rant this time. I want to make this one unique so I will write 10 predictions for 2010. Some are serious, but others are supposed to tickle your funny bone.
1. The Democrats will lose their majority in both houses of Congress. The latest polls are clear indicator of this happening.
2. 2. The national debt will escalade to 17 trillion dollars by the end of the year. It’s clear that the Obama administration plans to continue spending tax payer money as though it grew on trees. Maybe the Green people have discovered a money tree who knows.
3. 3. Unfortunately, violence will continue to escalade in Afghanistan until reluctantly President Obama will decide to listen to General Mccrystal’s recommendations, and then will permanently put Al Qaeda and the Taliban underground.
4. The unemployment rate will rise to 12 percent before Conservatives take over the House and Senate passing legislation that will actually help not hinder market growth.
5. It will still snow in most places on New Year’s Day puzzling the hell out of global warming wackos.
LeBron James won’t make it to the finals with the Cavaliers prompting his move to New York to play with the Nicks.
6. UT will beat Alabama with a 20 yard scramble by Colt McCoy with 15 seconds left emulating the Vince Young run in 2005.
7. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton will confess to being Tiger Wood’s mistress number 20 and 21. Just kidding.
8. The gas line that Sara Palin fought so hard for will generate some jobs for the nation’s largest state.
9. Sara Palin will announce her candidacy for President making Hilary Clinton extremely jealous.
It’s been an extraordinary year. Many celebrities died, and new ones rose to the spotlight cast upon them. Despite all the political turmoil America remains the greatest nation on God’s green Earth. I wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. Please pray for those who are in the military, law enforcement, and first respondents that allow you to celebrate this New Year in peace. Please pray for those who have died sacrificing themselves so that Old Glory may still wave in the air. Let’s make 2010 2,010 times better than 2009. God bless all of you’ll, James.

How many no's can the Democrats ignore?
Hey you’ll, I have returned. I have been away for a few months while I focused on my school work. I couldn’t remain quiet though throughout this battle over the passing of Obama Care. I wonder how many no’s from the American people can the Democrats ignore?
The idea behind the healthcare reform bill has validity. No one should be without insurance, but allowing the government to regulate and control the healthcare industry will result in 250 million uninsured people not the exaggerated number of 24 million people often referred to by pundits. It’s important to keep in mind that a large percentage of those currently uninsured are people who have chosen to not look for a job, to accept welfare checks every month, and to get by on sympathy from others. I know that not everyone who doesn’t have insurance falls into this category, but if you subtract this percentage from the numbers given out, then you start to wonder the obvious question. Does the government need to reconstruct as well as manipulate an industry affecting everyone to help a small percentage of people? The answer is no!
Also, the platform used by Democrats that helped get Barack Obama elected along with other Democrats into Congress the previous year was a promise to help the average Joe. They promised to do away with excessive spending brought on by a bunch of greedy Republicans led by former President Bush. Hmm, I guess they had too much wine when they celebrated since they forgot their pledge. I won’t mention the laundry list of wasteful expenditures that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed have burdened the tax payers with. The latest 2.1 trillion dollar budget should help illustrate this point. Oh, they don’t want you to consider their trip aboard five private jets along with rides aboard fancy limos while they mingle with the environmental wackos in Copenhagen. Those luxurious planes and vehicles are coming out of tax payers’ pockets. I guess they are sacrificing their holiday time trying to find a way to save the planet from the extreme heat as they wear snow boots to the meetings with hacks such as Al Gore.
Ok, enough with my rants. What evidence can be used to demonstrate that the current healthcare proposal will only hinder not help the American people? The Democratic Party that has bickered about the problems with Medicare and Medicaid have been unable to create a bill even though they have a super majority in the Senate, have a majority in the House, and they are in control of the White House. They still can’t agree on a bill since they know that if they pass such a bill their time in Washington will officially end. Yesterday the Washington Post and NBC published a poll on how Americans feel about the current healthcare bill. These two news outlets aren’t exactly known for siding with Conservatives either. The poll shows that 61% of Americans opposed such a takeover. Wait, I thought that Americans were demanding a change in healthcare though. The last proof that can’t be ignored is President Obama’s approval rating. If Barack Obama really reflected what the American people believed in. If President Obama actions showed that he planned to do whatever it took to improve the lives of all Americans, and if he ever displayed any sign that his actions were based upon the principles that this country was founded on his rating wouldn’t have dropped so drastically. The President can’t make everything happen that’s understood, but the President can make a big difference when his party holds a majority in the legislative branch. His approval rating has dropped from 57% to 44% according to the latest Rasmussen poll. A clear indication that the American people disapprove on issues such as these healthcare bill.
If poll data, voter’s consensus, nor parliamentarian’s regulation longer matter to the Liberal and Moderate Democrats. If these principles are ignored in a representative democracy, then the nation changes from a democracy to a utilitarian dictatorship. The government will act based on what they believe is the greatest good for the greatest number of people even if they know that their hurting more people than they are helping. Please keep telling your Senator to vote no on this measure. Please keep emailing and calling Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska. Keep in mind that it only takes one Democrats to fall through the cracks to accomplish defeating another government imposing bill. How many different ways can a voter say no before politicians in Congress will listen?
