Cops jump on swine-flu power: Shots heard 'round the world

You might think that the headline above was a farce or was some lame attempt by me to garner a fantastic eye grabbing headline. But you would be wrong. It is absolutely true.

Dateline: the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. The New England state that is famous for the likes of the Liberal Lion Ted Kennedy and the arrogant gay man representative Barny Frank now gives us a glimpse of what government is willing to do to its own citizens.

The State Senate of Massachusetts has passed Pandemic Response Bill 2028 a bill which could force the residents of MA to inoculated against their will, destroy their property and/or have property taken all without a warrant and if one fails to comply or allow compliance with this law, a citizen will be fined up to $1,000 per day of non-compliance.

Now first of all, one could say it is just a small state. This would be true. But it could also be true that this would be a test case for the rest of the nation. Remember, Health Care Reform is the baby of Ted Kennedy and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has a form of Kennedy health care already. It is the model for the HR 3200 for national health care reform.

The MA model does not work by any standard. So now we are going to be looking at another test case that will infringe on the rights of Americans and they will do it in the name of "public safety" and "public health". Remember this is the same bunch of Liberals that say smoking a cigarette outside is a public health threat and they wanted to ban smoking in public parks.

You have to understand that Liberals will stop at nothing to get power, to keep power and to lord that power over you on a daily basis. It is now coming down to them wanting the very power over weather or not you get health care and weather or not you get inoculated with drugs that are not even proven to work or even proven to be safe.

It used to be said that as the State of California goes, so goes the nation. Well California recently decided that the people are the final voice and when the people vote that vote shall be upheld. But that does not seem to be spreading across this nation. Instead, it seems the Washington has been eying what goes on in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. So the saying could be changed to as "Taxachusetts" goes, so goes the rest of the nation.

I'm wondering, will this proposed new law give the Obama Health Czar the idea of forcing every citizen in this nation to take drugs of mind altering capabilities to sedate those of us who would be thought of as seditionist? Don't laugh or think me crazy. Just look at what they are proposing and then tell me it could not happen under a "state of emergency."

As for me an my house? They will have to kill me in order to inject me with anything I don't want them to inject me with. My state motto is still "Live Free or Die". It's my personal motto as well.

The Real Ted Kennedy

Over the past week there has been a lot of talk about the late Edward M Kennedy. The "Liberal Lion" from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts succumbed to brain cancer last Tuesday night. He was diagnosed with the fatal cancer in May of 2008.

The eulogies were, as usual, farcical and false to a great extent. The tributes on TV and in the news for the most part seem to ignore the evil that the man was involved in. This is how legends get started. You take the life of a person and strip out the negative truth and what you are left with is something less than positive.

Many said Kennedy never spoke ill of anyone. That Kennedy got along with everyone. That Kennedy reached across the isle to forge positive relationships in order to accomplish what was best for the nation.

Those pundits ignore the letter Kennedy sent to the USSR during the Regan Administration saying that he (Kennedy) would do all in his power to see that Regan failed in his policies on the home front.

Those pundits ignore the fact that Kennedy personally attacked Robert Bork, one of Regan's nominees for the Supreme Court.

Those pundits forget that Kennedy allowed a young woman to drown because of his drunken ways.

Those pundits forget that Kennedy and some of his close relatives have been accused of sexual crimes and that some Kennedy relatives were convicted of sexual crimes.

Those pundits forget the slurred speeches over the years delivered by Kennedy.

Those pundits forget that Kennedy was anything but a perfect human being and was capable of cruel and evil and despicable things. His life history is full of such ill deeds.

No, I do not share in the positive morning for this man. May God have mercy on his soul because there are millions of people currently living and long since dead who would not show him mercy for Kennedy did not show mercy upon them.

The annointed one has no cloths

The polls, and I mean ALL polls, even the most Liberal of polls show that Obama is slipping. He is losing his touch. His approval ratings in some very good and pretty accurate polls have his approval rating below 50 percent for the very first time.

I must say, I don't think Obama knows how to handle having people not liking what he is doing.

First of all you should know I am not one to believe in polls anyway. They are too easy to manipulate with even a single word in a question. What does interest me is that even the most Liberal of polls show he is not liked very well anymore.

Now some will try and say that Obama is no different than President Reagan at this point in his first term. Well yes he is different.

Reagan during his recession wasn't trying to take over the health care industry and he wasn't talking about raising anybody's taxes. Obama is talking about raising taxes and fees and he wants to take over the entire health care system at a time when he is the cause of record deficits that outpace any president in our history.

So you see there is a huge difference. Not to mention Reagan could communicate to the people without a teleprompter. By the way, what the hell does "wee wee up" mean anyway?

Although the press are trying feebly to circle the wagons around Obama, it is Obama that has caused his own Waterloo. He has lied to the people and the people know it. And there is no way to explain his way out of it. He tells people they are lying about health care when the people are simply reading the proposed bill that Congress wrote and published. Nice touch. Tell a person that what he is reading is a lie when the very thing they are reading is written by you or your left wing buddies.

Maybe Obama should be pricing land in his Half Brothers neighborhood. After Obama wears out his welcome with the American people, Kenya may be the only place on earth where he can live out his days in peace. Oh wait, there is Cindy Sheehan. I am sure she will track him and George Bush down no matter where they go. Then again, it really is hard to get rid of a real and true left wing nut job.

One question the press should as is, how can Sheehan afford to stay on Martha's Vineyard while the President and the first family vacation? Who is bankrolling this excursion into Liberal wing nut-dome?

Then again, we are talking Martha's Vineyard in the state of Massachusetts. You can't get much more left wing nut job than that outside of Washington, D.C. and California.

Maybe someone should take a poll "will you be vacationing with the President on the Vineyard this year?" I'm sure polls would show more than 75 percent of the American people will not.

Remember the shot heard 'round the world?

This is one of the most outrageous things I have had come to my attention in a very long time. I read and heard about this and I could not believe my eyes and ears. Massachusetts has no idea what kind of Pandora's Box they are trying to open up.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts wants to extend its tax policy outside of its own borders in direct conflict with the US Constitution.

There is a tire chain store here in New England called Town Fair Tire. It is not a huge chain but it does have rather good prices on tires and wheels. Well, somehow Massachusetts was able to force its way into their NH books and decided that Town Fair owed the 5% sales tax that the state says came from MA residents buying tires at their NH stores.

First of all, I don't know how they were able to audit the books of a company not in its own state and second, I don't know where they even get the idea they could force a company not in its state collect sales tax for them. This is a direct affront to the sovereignty of the State of New Hampshire.

MA wants to force this tire chain to collect a sales tax in a state with NO sales tax at all. Now think about this for a second. If MA wins this case it will open the doors for every state to require every other state to collect its sales tax from residents that travel. It will become an accounting nightmare for business not to mention, states without sales taxes will find themselves enforcing the sales tax policy of other states.

Because NH doesn't have sales tax, most businesses don't have a mechanism to collect such fees. If MA wins this fight then it could force these small and large companies to come up with very expensive mechanisms to collect these charges from people who chose to shop in their state who live in another state.

This would not stop at sales tax, it would spread to just about every other tax and fee. It would be a nightmare.

This really started some time ago with the State of Maine imposing an income tax on NH and MA residents that work in Maine. Now you may think that is not strange and that every state does this. However, Maine takes it one step further. If on spouse works in Maine, then the other spouse that does not work in Maine is subject to the Maine income tax as well. The bad thing about this is that the state of NH did not vigorously fight this and this policy sticks to this day.

So don't think for a minute that the MA sales tax wont be spread to other areas of your income. And think about this. If you live in New York State and Shop in MA would you have to pay both sales and use taxes? Would that not be double taxation? Double taxation is against the Constitution.

And for that matter so is what MA is trying to do. What these states need to do is be responsible for their spending and stop looking for ways to get more cash. They need to cut back or eliminate all of these social programs that are draining the coffers of state treasuries all over the nation.

CA is delaying giving back money that does not belong to them because they don't have it. CA is the largest socialist state we have and look at them. They are so broke that they can't even give the money back to the people to whom it belongs. Instead of refunds on their income tax, the people of CA are getting I.O.U.'s.

You gotta ask how much more will the people of CA stand for before they open their eyes and start voting in conservative thinkers to run their state.

The same thing should happen in MA. Those idiots keep voting in the liberal idiots that are grabbing their income as fast as they can. Now those same liberals want to toss the Constitution aside so they can grab even more cash to feed their bottomless pit policies of socialized everything.

MA is the first state to require every single resident in that state to have health insurance coverage. Even if they cannot afford it, if you live within that state, you must have coverage. Sure if the state determines you can't afford it then the state will pay for it for you. This was projected to cost around 900 million dollars. Six months into the program, the health department of that state requested another 1 billion dollars to cover the cost. DOUBLE the projected amount. This boondoggle of a plan in its second year cost the state more than twice what they told the people of that state.

Socialism is too expensive, it doesn't work and it takes more and more of YOUR hard earned money to fund. If you live anywhere in this country, you need to tell your governor and Attorney General to support the State of New Hampshire in this fight against the Commonwealth of MA. This is unconstitutional. This is unfair. This is not right. This is dangerous.
