Obamacare, Family, Elderly People, Life
...
The proposed universal healthcare also known as Obamacare is rationed care. You know, giving it to some and denying it to others. Do you want to head down that road? Well some health care advocates have started with rationalizing limited health care to the elderly. Beliefs of “what else can they produce and they are going to die sooner than later,” are a part of the rationale for limited health care to the older people.
It has to be the thinking that more medical attention should be given to infirmities of the young and vital, because universal health care can't take care of everybody. The country is already in a trillion dollar deficit, so it can't afford everybody. Someone has to lose out.
It is one thing for an infirmed elderly person to not want whatever state of quality their life is in to be extended. They are making the decision. But to have the government make the decision for you! Go here to read about some elderly nuns' attitudes toward dying and then go here to read a take on that link.
There are many out there who are happy about the coming of universal health care. I wonder how long their happiness will last when they see the government hastening the deaths of the elders in their families due to them being on the denied side of rationed health care.

Blessings, People, Attitude, Ingratitude
...
Even though we are still being affected by the economic mess and it has been a rough year for some (including me), we all have many Divine blessings to consider and never forget. The following is a repost of of my January 7, 2007, Blessings:
The following was passed on to me. I do not know the original source of this Blessing gem, but here it is:
- If you woke up this morning with more health than illness…you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
- If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
- If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep…you are richer than 75% of this world.
- If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change in a dish someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
- If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the United States.
- If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful…you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
- If you can hold someone’s hand, hug him or her or even touch them on the shoulder…you are blessed because you can offer God’s healing touch.
- If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
Have a good day and count your blessings
Now here is a column about how spoiled we are today by Patrice Lewis. Your reaction may be different, but I say she is right. Go here for her reaction to many email responses to that column. An indication of people now flurishing in ingratitude! I do not like the change in direction of our moral compass.

Iraq, Loss, Liberals, Dr. John Pryor
...
The world just lost a remarkable man. A man who felt he had been called to be a physician. Dr. John Pryor a trauma/critical-care surgeon of the University of Pennsylvania’s Hospital (were I was born) in Philadelphia was killed on Christmas day by an enemy mortar round in Iraq. He chose to serve in Iraq as a trauma surgeon and was deployed to the 1st Forward Surgical Team. Dr. Pryor could not continue in the business as usual mode when he knew his medical services could save the lives of innocent Iraqi children. His humanity knew no limits.
When the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York were attacked, Dr. Pryor did not give it a second thought. He hitched a ride with an ambulance to New York and joined the rescue efforts. He along with John Chavanes, another Philly doctor was responsible for saving two Port Authority police officers, John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno who had been buried in the rubble of the collapsed towers.
Dr. Pryor had just returned to Iraq on Dec. 6 for a second tour. Condolences go to his wife and 3 children. It is so tragic when such a remarkable man is lost to us. Read more here.

Knowledge Base, Government, History, Culture
...
What do you know about the history and institutions of the United States? According to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute American Civil Literacy Program, we are dumbing down. An awful lot of folks with a college education were unable to score over 55% on a history/civics quiz. The average score for all Americans taking this quiz was 49%. This quiz is based on history and civics that adult U. S. citizens should know.
So what is currently being taught in schools and what basic courses are required for all majors in colleges and universities? And then from all that information, how much do you retain that is not used on a daily basis throughout life? I have to admit I did not do too bad. But that was because I took a course last spring that covered the government/economic questions on the quiz.
Can you answer these 3 questions?
- Can you name the 3 branches of the U. S. government?
- Did the the phrase "government of the people, by the people, for the people." come from the Declaration of Independence or the Gettysburg Address.
- The Bill of Rights explicitly bands the establishment of an official U. S. religion, bands discrimination based on race and sex or bands the presidential vetoing of a line item in a spending bill.
Now these are the easy questions. You can find the answeres in Dr. Walter E. William's column. To see and take the 33 multiple choice questions quiz go here.

I hope you see that this criminal acknowledged his own wrong doing, and the belief that Jesus Christ was Divine and the Savior. Notice the Lord did not condemn the criminal. The criminal was saved to spend eternity with the Lord. John 14:6 - I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
