Let’s say Chuck does a bang up job and comes out with 85 dirty little secrets, all well and good. We’ve got 85 reasons why conservatives should fight the damn bill, in whatever form the finished version takes, tooth and nail. But that’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH, Chuck! We need a reason that every single thinking American with a heart and a conscience ought to join that fight.  Chuck, you’ve been talking about trees . . . what about the forest? What’s really going on here? Why is this bill so crucial to the liberal democrats?

Why is this bill so crucial to the liberal democrats?

                Whatever that reason is, it’s doubly crucial to the rest of us, because those blanket-blanks do not have America’s well-being at heart, far from it. Our enslavement is more like it. So what is the big picture here? What’s really going on? Let’s ask some questions . . .

A.      Is health care reform necessary? Damn straight. We should have ditched Medicare 43 years ago and come up with a program to keep Americans healthy, get sick people back on their feet and dramatically cut health care expenses for individuals and the government. Rajjpuut created such a program in Kansas back in 1977. He also has written a 26 blog series “A Far Better Health Care Alternative.” The first sum up was this one, some additions have been made since then:

B.     What about Medicare needs reform? Try “everything.” The program now has $34 TRillion obligations that it can’t pay; it will be bankrupt in 2016. It’s weighed down by three times greater obligations than our national debt.

C.      What else needs reforming? The biggest single reason other than Medicare that Americans are so unhealthy in so many ways is the Food and Drug Administration. Rajjpuut’s 16-blog “Anti-FDA Rant” series details all that’s wrong with the FDA and why the #1 tenet of his health care alternative series is to eliminate the FDA or totally revamp it from top to bottom. It is a huge part of the problem when it should be a huge part of the solution.

D.     So, damn it, exactly what is the “forest” that Rajjpuut says Chuck Norris and apparently the rest of us can’t see? What is the biggest single factor why all Americans ought to resist the administration’s attempt to pass this bill?  What is their purpose?

In a phrase the answer is “to cover-up government spending boondoggles.”   The multi-task purpose of the Obamacare bill is to cover up the Medicare boondoggle with another government program hiding the truth about government spending (the answer to every perceived problem by every liberal) and along the way cover-up some of the bigger errors of liberal thinking: in particular Feminism.

E.      What in the hell are ya’ talkin’ bout, Boy?

It’s a long-story but not too complicated and then I’ll add on the Feminism info at the end.

The upcoming bankruptcies of Social Security (originally SSA's bankruptcy was expected for 2012; then 2018; the latest date is 2037: each time it’s been covered up and pushed back with another boondoggle) and Medicare in 2016 are shocking testaments to the nature of government spending boondoggles. The aim at present is to create Obamacare to “rescue Medicare" (read ‘cover-up’ the situation) and then have it take on a life of its own, lest the American public find out that Bernie Madoff has nothing on their tax-and-spend liberal legislators. Hide the $34 TR illion problem, hide their shame and rape your unborn children’s and grandchildren’s future.  Oh, and then let's take care of Social Security with some more sleight of hand at some later date . . . .

               FDR took us off the gold standard in 1933. The loaf of bread that was nine cents in 1933 can be had at Sam’s Club on rare occasions at two for $5; it’s $4 per loaf elsewhere. The 1933 paper dollar had shrunk to 2 1/3 cents buying power by 2008. Ben Bernanke has just printed fourteen phony new dollars for every old one circulating in the country . . . release of that much currency could soon mean last year's dollar had become worth 6 ½ cents and the 1933 dollar would become worth less than 1/6 of a penny compared to a gold dollar from the time. That is an enormous amount of wealth and savings and hope going up in smoke. If it comes to pass soon, it will amount to an inflation of 600 to 1.

                The real purpose of Obamacare is cover-up. The first cover-up is the upcoming bankruptcy of Medicare, which now has the $34 Trillion obligation just mentioned, and replace it with another government spending boondoggle,  Tah-Dah: Obamacare. The second cover-up is to hide the lie that is “Feminism” and which has attacked our family and our country from day #1. Understand, the “women’s movement” per se, had a simple common-sense message: women need to be treated fairly and squarely by American society and business. Feminism, however, is a series of lies about motherhood and family (“the home is a comfortable concentration camp” “we must ‘raise awareness’ so that all women disparage the trap of home and family”); about men (“all acts of heterosexual intercourse, including the marriage bed are RAPE” Gloria Steinem);  about men and women and life (science done by real male and female scientists, not feminist “studies” show that a baby’s sex is determined at conception; and male brains and male thinking and female brains and female thinking are evident in the fetus not later than 50 days after conception; and the ridiculous notion that “abortion on demand” solves all problems for real women); and about how to raise our children and run our families. How, you ask, will they cover up the “Feminism glitch?”

                The lie that is Obamacare is trumpeted most frequently by three statistics which they use to explain why health care reform immediately is required and only they can do it:

A.  American health care is the most expensive in the world per capita 

B.  American life expectancy is a mediocre figure at best 

C.  American infant mortality is mediocre at best.

Infant mortality is a huge issue however, HUGE! If you want the full picture go to my blog:

A quick clarification because someone’s already thinking it, lets’ clear your question up . . . NO, surgical abortion statistics are NOT considered in infant mortality statistics; Yes, spontaneous natural abortion (miscarriage) becomes a statistic IF and WHEN the mother makes contact with her doctor or with a hospital or emergency room. Indigent (poor) mothers who don’t make such contact after miscarriage, are NOT part of the statistical base, of course. That "unreported" statistic would tend to drive infant mortality statistics up higher in most of the rest of the world than they tend to show and make America's infant mortality statistic much better in comparison, because an awful lot of health care statistics are well-kept in this country.

In a nutshell here’s what you need to know, first the causes . . .  the key thirteen factors driving high infant mortality in America are:

1. Tobacco use

2. Alcohol use

3. Illegal drug use

4. Prescription drug use (Rajjpuut's Anti-FDA Rants are germane) and even use of over-the-counter non-prescription medications

5. Obesity and morbid obesity of mothers as well as diabetes and pre-diabetes in mothers

6. Poverty of mothers

7. Youth of mothers

8. Race of the mother

9. Violence and accidents

10. Mothers raising children alone without a husband/father to help

11. Poor nutrition of the mother

12. Poor lifestyle of the mother, particularly lack of exercise . . . .

13. Younger menarche

First let’s explain #13. Menarche is a girl’s first menstrual period. Usually within 10-15 months after menarche a young female will prove to be fertile. Because American girls are growing bigger; and especially because they’re growing fatter (17% body fat or higher at about 110 pounds seems to be crucial); and possibly because of steroids and antibiotics in the food supply: American girls are the youngest, or among the youngest in the world at menarche. This is important because in all places, at all times, in all cultures and all religions . . . the average age of first intercourse is two years after menarche . . . and last time Rajjpuut checked intercourse and pregnancy were intimately connected.

And now the crucial analysis, this is where it gets suspicious . . .  

                What’s going on here? Look at those thirteen factors impacting infant mortality. Is there some underlying connection?    “In a phrase, you’ve come a long way, Baby!” American women, particularly young American woman are, per capita: the heaviest smokers in the world; the heaviest drinkers in the world; heaviest users of illegal drugs; and heaviest users of prescription drugs and over the counter meds; the fattest in the world and the most likely to suffer from pre-diabetic symptoms as well as diabetes; among the most likely to become unwed mothers; among the most likely to become pregnant at an early age among women in industrialized nations; and this is comparatively a very violent country. 

American women are also far, far more likely to drive and thus are more at risk for automobile accidents than most of the world’s women. In addition, black American mothers are the least likely to have fathers/husbands living with them or at all, but single-mother families are common regardless of race; and all unwed mothers, especially young ones are most likely to live below the poverty line.  

Despite living in a land of plenty, most Americans practice lifestyles that are horribly unhealthy. This is especially true when it comes to nutrition. Howard Hughes died of malnutrition. Many morbidly fat people are severely malnourished. Pregnant women and about to be pregnant women need to pay particular attention to their nutritional intake and American mothers do a miserably poor job of taking care of their own nutritional needs, not to mention those of the child they carry. The potato chip, the donut, fried foods and sodas and diet foods and all manner of junk foods are all no-nos. Skipping breakfast is a no-no.   Poor lifestyle overall is nearly always a factor in infant mortality. American women (as well as men) have about the poorest lifestyle in the world, considering all our advantages, and in particular lack of exercise is virtually a given for American mothers.

                  As you can see, a whole lot of the infant mortality problem is NOT directly  health related but actually of a sociological nature  . . . tied up with the changing nature of women's lives in the last half century in America . . . no other nation has so radically altered the role of women and the family as America has. Unfortunately the Factor #41 statistic@, infant mortality, has dramatically risen as a result.   The relative UNimportance of marriage; predilection for divorce, greater female indulgence in smoking, alcohol use, drug use, and the poverty and lack of partner issues and total de-emphasis of virginity and encouragement or sexual experimentation at younger ages are all part and parcel of the "you've come a long way, Baby, lifestyle advocated by feminists and NOW and the agenda of the radical left-wing of the Democratic party.  Certainly more than anything:  depreciation of husbands and men in general and total antipathy toward the family has not worked out well for the country, even leaving infant mortality out of it.  The facts that today, unwed motherhood is considered a highly acceptable option; and single parenthood as a fulltime lifestyle is so encouraged (not just when a necessity but something highly desirable) by feminists plays a huge part in many of the nation's deepest problems, but particularly here with infant mortality.

                  As an aside, since, the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party and particularly organizations like NOW, National Organization of Women, have been driving forces in pushing the agendas that have helped bring about this series of family and female shifts, Rajjpuut is suggesting is they each contribute 7% of their yearly budgets to health education dealing with infant mortality and those funds be budgeted to the CDC. Or would that be far more "responsibility" then those two fine organizations wish to claim? 

While the women’s movement, NOT FEMINISM -- the women's movement, has done some wonderful things, the quantum change in American “morality” and the “prerogatives of women” since 1960 has had a disastrous effect on infant mortality.   American sex education and particularly contraceptive education HAS SIMPLY NOT KEPT UP. And before someone mentions “JUST SAY, “NO!” Nancy Reagan was a wonderful woman, but she was in over her head on this one . . . just say, “NO!” doesn’t work. 

                 "Just say, NO!" doesn't work.  That and intercourse two years after menarche appear to be unalterable facts of human nature. This is not a problem in countries where girls first menstruate at age 15 and get married at 15 or 16, not at all.   But in industrial societies where schooling commonly goes on past age 18 and early marriage is undesirable . . . this becomes a huge problem: the problem of unwed motherhood and most particularly, very YOUNG unwed motherhood . . .

                Well, in any case, Feminists^^ have really screwed up the family and that is one thing Obamacare would like to cover up and with various provisions in the bill they’d even like feminists (75% of social workers are female and almost 80% of female social workers are either feminists or liberals) to control our families and children . . . that ought to really make things better.

                In a phrase then Obamacare is a huge “cover-up” and it also shows they haven’t learned a thing: it’s another government spending boondoggle, it’s more of the same in their approach to feminism, the family and government interference in our lives.

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
