Prisoners have a better diet than Health Service hospital patients, scientists warn

Comments Off
by Mick    in Healthcare,Thinking

p
Patients in Health Service hospitals are far more likely to go hungry than criminals in jail, scientists warned yesterday.

They say frail and elderly patients do not get the help they need with meals, and nobody checks whether they get enough to eat.

Despite years of Government promises to tackle poor hospital nutrition, food still arrives cold, and patients often miss out because meal times clash with tests and operations.

Conservative icon Jesse Helms dead at 86

Comments Off

“Jesse Helms was the kindest, most infuriating, politest, most aggravating and nicest politician I had to deal with in the United States Senate,” former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said in a 2001 interview.

Move to the right
Helms’ role as standard bearer for the conservative movement is his most lasting legacy in state and national politics. His switch to the Republican Party in 1970 paved the way for many politicians across North Carolina to follow suit, eventually ending decades of one-party control in state and local government.

Forced vaccinations, quarantine camps, health care interrogations and mandatory “decontaminations”

Comments Off
by Mick    in Freedom

The United States of America is devolving into medical fascism and Massachusetts is leading the way with the passage of a new bill, the “Pandemic Response Bill” 2028, reportedly just passed by the MA state Senate and now awaiting approval in the House. This bill suspends virtually all Constitutional rights of Massachusetts citizens and forces anyone “suspected” of being infected to submit to interrogations, “decontaminations” and vaccines.

The entire population of the USA is now but one pen stroke away from being subjected to mandatory swine flu vaccinations at gunpoint.
It’s also sets fines up to $1,000 per day for anyone who refuses to submit to quarantines, vaccinations, decontamination efforts or to follow any other verbal order by virtually any state-licensed law enforcement or medical personnel.

Take that thing off your head and act like you’re proud to be an American!

Comments Off
by Mick    in Freedom,Islam

Since Islam is not just “another religion”, but constitutes a dangerous imperialistic political ideology, it should not be allowed to take advantage of our laws and freedoms under the cloak of religion to advance it’s Islamist agenda in America.

Under these circumstances, it should not be a violation of freedom of religion to ban the hijab or turban, especially in regards to standing for the national anthem, or the Pledge of Allegiance. As those things are symbolic of beliefs and ideology hostile to our nation.

Comments Off
by Mick    in Healthcare,Politcal

dpA controversial booklet entitled “Your Life, Your Choices,” that was suspended under the Bush administration because of the concern that it might encourage veterans to end their lives so they won’t be a burden to society, has been revived under the Obama administration. Its use is being promoted at Veterans Administration hospitals and nursing homes around the nation. You can see it on the VA website here.

Obamaland: How Do You Take Control of the Internet

Comments Off
by Mick    in Freedom,Politcal

The Senate is actually giving consideration to a bill that would give the president the power to “shut down online traffic by seizing private networks”.

A Senate bill would offer President Obama emergency control of the Internet and may give him a “kill switch” to shut down online traffic by seizing private networks — a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties.

Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 emerged late Thursday, months after an initial version authored by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., was blasted in Silicon Valley as dangerous government intrusion.

“In the original bill they empowered the president to essentially turn off the Internet in the case of a ‘cyber-emergency,’ which they didn’t define,” said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which represents the telecommunications industry.

ANTI-SEMITISM: OBAMA, REVOKE YOUR CHOKE ON ISRAEL

Comments Off
by Mick    in Israel

It sickens freedom lovers, the money and support Obama is throwing at jihadist regimes while cutting off nascent and established democracies. The US is shtooping Hamas more cash, yet again, while cutting off the oxygen to the Jewish people. No surprise from the Muhammadan president, but he is not an absolute ruler. Call and write your Congressmen. Hold them accountable. It is not difficult to understand why an anti-semitic Administration would seek to diminish Israel’s defensive capability.

The man who doubted Al Gore

If one were to think of current candidates for the most disastrous of faux pas, surely none could be greater than “The Man Who Expressed Skepticism About Catastrophic Man-made Global Warming.” Not merely do mouths gape, but eyes roll at any dimwit’s failure to grasp that there is “consensus” on the issue. Indeed, to dissent is seen not merely as evidence of mental deficiency but moral turpitude.

I once attended a dinner party thrown by a corporate executive who — like his guests — was astonished at my apostasy, which was met by the requisite mime show of shock from other guests. The following day he e-mailed me a news item about melting Arctic ice. That, presumably, would put me straight.

The Coming American Dictatorship

Comments Off
by Mick    in Freedom

ta
“The Constitution allows certain powers to the federal government, but leaves all other governmental authority with the states. And for about the first 150 years that’s pretty much the way things were. But that’s not what’s happening now.

“Today, many people feel as though the federal government has assumed too much power. The Tenth Amendment Movement is simply an attempt by the states to restore the balance of power they feel the Founding Fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution. Sometimes it’s called the State Sovereignty Movement.”

“This used to be America,” said the protester.

“It ain’t no more, OK?” answered Cheeks.

Officer Cheeks, it appears from the badges on his uniform, is a member of the Fairfax County Public Schools’ trained School Security Officer team. Neither the school nor the local police, however, would confirm Cheeks’ status or authority until communications offices reopen on Monday.

Homeless Man Leaves Behind $4 Million

The piece ends by saying that what makes one person happy is not the same thing that makes another happy — something I agree with 100%. But this guy’s life seems so out-of-whack that it leaves me wondering what was really going on. Was he simply so miserly that he couldn’t spend anything on himself? Was he trying to “earn his way to heaven/a better after-life”? (he was an atheist, so I don’t think so.) Or maybe he just liked sleeping on the ground? The guy wasn’t dumb — he had saved, invested, done taxes, and had a will. Surely he could have afforded a modest home that would have barely impacted his nest egg and yet provided him with a much more comfortable lifestyle.

Comments Off
by Mick    in Freedom

The Tea Party Patriots are still angry about the direction this country is going in, but a rally in Sacramento left them feeling energized and exhilarated about their movement.

More than 5,000 people attended Friday’s rally in Sacramento, 168 of whom came from Nevada County on three buses.

Demonstrators kept to the same themes: Smaller government, reeling in taxes and support for veterans, said Jackie Branson of Grass Valley.

Shariah and Constitution collide

Let us be clear: Rifqa Bary is a proverbial “canary in the mine shaft,” a warning to all of us that toxic Shariah is leeching into America. Every effort must be made to ensure that her freedoms — and, inevitably, ours — are permanently protected against this deadly assault.
