Free Speech: On it's way Out?

This cartoon is funny...but is it really? How do you feel about the white house, on many fronts, attacking this new organization? Does it scare you? It should.


What about this image:

The writing on the tape says 'flag@Whitehouse.gov"

It speaks volumes to me. Why did the White House want citizens to report on other citizens who opposed, with good reason, the health care reform bill? There was a campaign for people to 'Flag' themselves at the .gov web site.

Many of my fellow patriots were scared to do this. The fact that they scared speaks volumes, doesn't it?

Now read this article about an upcoming United Nations proposal that is set for this winter. It is reported that our President will sign it.

US sponsors plan to restrict free speech

I don't know, maybe I am a bit paranoid. Or am I?

New Gun Legislation: Fact vs Fiction

Take a look at this report on gun legislation that has been introduced this year. There have been rumors about guns and tax returns that are not true, but the details that are true can hold their own. I love the last time of this article:

"With guns we are citizens, without them we are subjects."

Who won the Nobel Prize? Is this a JOKE?

You have got to see this to believe it...

OBAMA WINS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO MIXED REVIEWS...

I would not have believed it if I had not read it myself. Only 9 months in with the economy a mess, deficits out of control, approval rates for all our government officials VERY LOW, the Afghanistan war hanging in the balance, a divided country...what is the basis for this award? That the world likes us (Americans) better because of him? Is this all it takes to get this prize? Has the whole world gone mad?

RE POST...Happy Anniversary NHS (National Health Service)...Info on both English and Canadian Health Care Systems

What is the NHS, or the National Health Service, you ask? It is the official name of the National Health Care system in Britain. This July 5th it will turn 60 years old. I really knew nothing about this system prior to last April, 2007. This was when I went with my main squeeze on a business trip. I love these trips, he has to work and I have to sit alone by a luxury pool for 2 days. Anyway, on this particular trip we were in Phoenix. I went to the pool and happened to grab a spot next to a couple from London. We began to talk about, can you guess, politics. The conversation quickly turned to their health care system. I learned that day from them many things: government health care is not free it is simply pre-paid by higher taxes, government health care is great unless you get a major illness, there is always a line, there are always long lines for dental care as well,there is always a LONG wait for tests or scans.

There was one other thing I learned that I don't believe is covered in this country when this topic is discussed. This couple told me that they actually buy supplemental insurance, privately, to cover things that are not under the National 'free' coverage and it usually pushed them up in line when a wait is involved. There are also doctors that opt out of the National Coverage and will take only those patients with this supplemental insurance. There is also the same scenario when dealing with dentists. I found this fascinating. Doesn't the ability to buy better or more coverage go against one of the main reasons for nationalized medicine? That reason being all people should have the same type or amount of health care despite class or financial means. I read an article today by Doug Bandow that talks about this very thing. This article also suggests that a British subject could loose their nationalized health care if they opt for the supplemental insurance. (so where is the tax refund if they loose the national coverage?)

I had another experience while on yet another business trip. This time I was on my way to NYC, and because of circumstances my main squeeze and I were not traveling together. I got on the plane and sat next to a nice young man (early 30's) that happened to be Canadian. We had a great conversation which turned to, can you guess, politics. We eventually got around to what I refer to as socialized medicine, better known as national health care. He was under the impression that there were Americans that were denied health care. I then explained to him the fallacy of that statement. There are people that are not insured, but they are not denied health care. I told him that our emergency rooms are used as Dr. visits for the uninsured. I personally witnessed this on an ER trip with my mom. There was a lady in front of us in the check in line. We were able to hear her partial interview with the admitting nurse. When asked why she was at the ER today, her answer was 'stuffy nose'. Anyway, getting back to the conversation with the Canadian, he was shocked to hear about a typical ER and I also told him of the many charity hospitals found in most cities and towns. He had no idea. It looks as though mis-information abounds all over the globe. Our talk turned to the health care in his country. He said he has been OK with the service given, but he had never been real sick. He would rather not pay the HIGH taxes associated with it, but like he said "You get used to it". We also talked about the 'Brokers' in his country. They actually help very ill patients find hospitals in the US to do needed tests or to perform needed procedures for Canadians that know if they wait in a line for a test in Canada, they could be dead before they can even get a diagnosis. These people use the brokers and the charity of American physicians and hospitals to save their lives. They still have to pay, but they negotiate lower fees. I read another article by David Gratzer that discussed the current issues the Canadian national health care is dealing with presently. Apparently, the gentleman considered the father of this enterprise is changing his tune.

We must keep all this in mind during the upcoming election. National health care has major issues in both Canada and Britain. I encourage you to do your own research. I think it was Reagan who said "Trust, but verify." We must verify what we are being told. We must check the facts.

Remember, nothing is free, except Salvation!

Katy Tea Party Patriots July 4th Tea Party

Well, I survived. What an experience. I found myself smack in the middle of planning a huge, multi - county event. It just so happens that is was on a holiday and that the heat index broke records (103 degrees, hottest in over 20 years). Even with two strikes against us, we were able to have about 1500 in attendance. The day was long for the volunteers as we were out at the site from 7 am will about midnight. In the end it was well worth it. People are fed up. They are willing to brave the heat to be counted. They want to be on emails lists and stand ready to make their voices heard. I hope that we will make a difference. I hope people will use their anger to write their representatives, call their representatives and VOTE their beliefs.

Our core group kept growing. We had amazing people step up to volunteer time, energy and money for this rally. We had people come to the rally and volunteer on the spot.

Be sure to visit www.katytea.com so see what we are all about and what we have yet in the works.

Thanks for all or your prayers regarding this endeavor. I felt them. Much is yet to come from this group we call the:

Forced Healath Care, another form of Tyranny!

Senate Bill would Fine People More Than $1000 for Refusing Health Care coverage


I thought Health Care for all is something everyone wanted? Why would fines even be an issue?

This is just another form of Tyranny. If you question this statement, just read the definition of Tyranny and you will see that it fits quite well in this case.

clipped from dictionary.reference.com

tyr⋅an⋅ny

–noun, plural -nies.

1.	arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuse of authority.

2.	the government or rule of a tyrant or absolute ruler.

3.	a state ruled by a tyrant or absolute ruler.

4.	oppressive or unjustly severe government on the part of any ruler.

5.	undue severity or harshness.

6.	a tyrannical act or proceeding.

When the government can take away your choice, you are living under Tyranny. I am not talking about obeying the law of the land in regard to stealing or killing. These are basic human laws that I believe are handed down from God. I am speaking of the control, for our own good mind you, by our government of every aspect of our lives.

When you are made to do something, under the fear of fines or imprisonment, this is Tyranny. Some Examples of Tyranny (again, for our own good): seat belt laws, helmet laws, car seat laws, smoking laws, life jacket laws, home owners insurance laws, gun regulation laws, and lets not forget the IRS. They have the right to take your wages, your home, and your business. We may add health care to this list.

I am not saying that some of these laws are not good ideas for safety purposes, but should it be law. Should the government be able to hand out fines or jail time if we do not do what they think is in our best interest?

I for one will always say no to tyranny...in all forms.

Did George Bush spend as much or more than Obama?

Check out this video we posted on KatyTea.com (this is the web site for our tea party efforts in west Houston). It shows, in short order, how much the spending of this county has increased since the current administration has taken over.

Yes, some has been spent on the stimulus plan, but most has been spent on pork and much is to come on things such as socialized medicine and cap and trade

It matters little what it is being spent on, the fact of the matter is that it must stop.

Just how much is $100,000,000 in budget cuts?

Is this a product of radical muslim terrorists? Or is that not politically correct?

This type of violence is not ending. The terror that these type of radical muslim, jihad groups are engaging in is not going to be solved with nice talk and humble gestures by our new president. They do not want peace, they want domination, control and the eradication of any and all who do not follow their set beliefs and way of life.

This is happening in the midst of presidnet Obama's trip to Egypt. Some call it a love fest trip. In his speech he said that any nation, including Iran, should have the ability to have nuclear devices if they abide by rules that would regulate such weapons. Wow, that is a clear departure from our previous stance.


I urge all of you to follow what the president is doing, saying, and pushing into legislation. We are not merely experiencing change, but a 180 in almost every aspect of our country's defense stance, economic stance, and its principles and beliefs.


Don't be a part of the uninformed majority.

A question....

The killing of Dr.Tiller.
Murder, or just a different form of late term abortion?

I do not condone murder, in any form. But, when is the killing of someone not murder but justice? How does this relate to killing in war or the putting to death of a criminal? My brother said something that got me thinking. Our society has replaced 'right and wrong' with 'legal or illegal'. He states that though this incident was murder and thus illegal, justice was served. Can this be reconciled in our minds?

We cannot have people running around dispensing their own form of justice without some type of rule of law. Even though, in a sense, Dr. Tiller did just that when he chose to murder partially born babies.

This one is hard for me. I do condemn the act of the murder of this man. I do feel for the grief his family is going through. I do not support murder as a way to advance any cause. But mostly, I fear for his soul.

On the other side of the coin, I urge each one of you to research this procedure called 'late term abortions'. Also do a bit of research as to how Dr. Tiller pushed the envelope of 'legality' to perform this procedure. Then ask yourself the question at the top of this post, again.
