Why I am not 'closed minded'

I am often accused of being closed minded. Of course those accusations almost always come from the left side of the Political Isle.

I usually respond with "what am I supposed to be 'open minded' about?" And they almost always respond with out really answering the question. They say things like I need to consider that my way is not the only way. Or they say it is your belief but not mine or others belief. Or they even say, that is just too old fashioned. After all this is the 21st century now.

I am also accused of not even listening or reading what the left has to really say. I beg to differ on that. As much as it pains my ears and eyes and heart, I do listen and read what the other side has to say.

Understand even though I do read and listen, so you don't have to hurt yourself in doing so (yea, I'm a martyr like that) it does not mean that I have to embrace those ideas. In fact, usually it further cements me in my own beliefs because the left is so out there and has no common sense to back up what they say.

Well just to prove that I read and listen to the left on a fairly regular basis, (no I don't read or listen to them every day because I'm sure my blood pressure would be sky high if I did) I decided to list a few of my "favorite" blogs and talk shows.

I must warn you, these Liberal bastions of uncommon and illogical thought will have your head spinning and if you are not careful you might find yourself feeling a little possessed like Linda Blair in the Exorcist. So I would recommend that if you don't have your immune system built up that you take only one or two liberals per day. Trust me on this, your sanity is one of the most important commodities you have and you don't want to lose it. But I do encourage those on the right to read and listen to the left every once in a while just so you know what the heck they are saying about you and so you will be able to pick one out of a line up better.

Know thy enemy is always a good motto. But then, when you read just one or two blogs you know Liberals inside and out. They really are not all that deep. But sometimes, through the massive frustration you will feel, you will find a gem that makes you chuckle. And that chuckle may be what you need to brighten your day or at least give you a shot in the arm to fight even harder against their idiocy.

Visit these sites with the utmost of care. You have been warned. If you feel a tug to the left, then visit my site and talk show to get cured with logic and truth. Oh, and don't be fooled by the term 'progressive'. That is just a Liberal in disguise.

The Common Progressive Blog

Our Common Ground Talk Show

The Gay Agenda Talk Show

Oh yes there are a lot more, but I think that is just about all you will be able to handle and still stay sane. Give them a read or a listen but remember, they do not use their head to think. They only use their heart. If you understand that, then you may find it in your heart to have pity on them.

If you want some fun though, call into a Liberal talk show and use logic and reason and listen to them all howl and hiss at you. It really is great fun. But limit your fun to maybe once per week. You know what they say about 'too much of a good thing'.

Sympathy doesn't change the facts

I am sitting here going nuts. I am having a hard time keeping my cool. I am sure my medical emergency someday will be due to a heart attack from stress. The question is why did I have the stress and will the government pay for my treatment to keep me alive.

The answer to the second part of that question is, in my opinion in which I believe with all my heart is, no. I am a conservative and as such I don't believe in government run health care. I am sure someone at some point in the future is going to look at my record and decide that since I was so against the government, it would be better for everyone (at least the government) if I were to no longer be on this earth.

Now make no mistake about it. I am a Christian and I firmly believe that when I am absent from this earthly body, I will be in the presence of my Lord in heaven. So for me to die by natural causes is not a fear that I have. The point is will I be helped along by those in power because I did not agree with them in taking control of my health care.

The first part of the question begs another question...why did I have so much stress in the first place? The answer is a simple one. My government gave me the stress.

I tried listening to a Blog Talk Radio talk show this evening that was talking about health care and the reform that our government wants to foist upon us all. It was even disguised as a "faith" talk about health care reform.

Now understand this, Christ Himself would not go for government control of health care. But some of our so-called faith leaders seem to think that health care is a right granted to us by God. It is not. You don't even have a RIGHT to eat. Think I am wrong? Then well answer this question. If eating is a RIGHT then why is it not the case that our government owns and operates every single grocery store in the land? Hey, eating is far more important than health care. You can live for a long time with out going to the doctors office. But you can only last so long without eating.

We have even people of "faith" who are willing to lie for the left because they think it shows sympathy. Well, it doesn't. True sympathy would be to help others help themselves. The old wise tale of feeding a man with a fish and teaching him to fish applies in every aspect of our life including health care.

We have seen that by giving humans something that they feel doesn't cost them anything often leads to those things becoming highly expensive and highly over used. Don't believe me? How often do you think people would go to their doctor if all they had to do is pay five or ten dollars out of their pocket? Very often as it turns out. They go even for a simple cold.

Why is it then, that nearly every other country with government run health care rations that health care in some form or another? Is it out of sympathy? Not it is out of cost control.

Simply put, you cannot control cost on the healthy. You cannot control cost on those who do NOT use the health care system. You can only control cost on the sick. You can only control cost on those who DO use the system.

So the question should be, if all of you who support so-called health care reform, will you complain when it does not live up to your expectations? Because by its very nature and design it cannot.

Will you curse health care on your early death bed or will you praise the wisdom of some government board who denied you life saving or life extending care?

Yea, I didn't think so.

Stuff from around the Web on IL scandal

I have been doing some surfing on the net among various blogs. Below are some links to some of those blogs and news stories I have come across and read. I think they are good reads even if they don't express my view. A varied point on this issue is welcomed because it leaves no stone unturned.

However, note that some people (bloggers and commenters) will circle the wagons and protect the Democrat no matter what they do. They are doing this with President-Elect Obama. (By the way, what is up with this crap of "Office of the President-Elect? There is NO SUCH OFFICE!) People are putting a protective barrier around Obama or at least they are trying to.

Have you noticed that this guy has scandal after scandal that can some how lead back to him? I can't remember or find any President-Elect with such a record. Not even Clinton. Can this guy actually survive his first 100 days in office? We will have to see about that but if I was an odds maker (bookie to those of you in Blue states) I would be giving favorable odds that he will not. I hope this is not the case, but you have to wonder with Obama's past and his present, it doesn't bode well for his future.

The Evil Beet Not sure what is evil about beets (Yes I get the double entendre' in the name of this blog.)

The Watcher Blog of the Chicago Tribune This one is pretty funny. Great tip 10 list a-la Dave Letterman style.

My Way This blogger seems very serious in his analysis. Also notice the picture of the Governor and Obama. Look how smug Obama looks. You have to wonder how well Obama knew this guy. My guess is Obama would say, "I didn't know him even though I worked very closely with him for year."


Town Hall Will he or will he not go peacefully. That is the question. It currently looks like he will not.

The Liberty Cafe Just my own take on one small part of the whole IL mess. But is this just a mess in IL or does the nation as a whole have a real and serious problem? I think that question can be answered in a sad but resounding, YES.
