When the Democrat Politburo comes back from their Dachas will they force ObamaCare on us?

Question by Pelosi’s Water Boy: When the Democrat Politburo comes back from their Dachas will they force ObamaCare on us?
Will the Chairman Obama lock the doors and tell his Democrat Politburo to vote yes on his Socialistic Health Care Scam, or will those who vote no be sent to an ACORN gulag for “re-education” on Obama’s “agenda”?

Yes we can and YES we will VOTE OUT the Democrats in 2010 and in 2012!!

Best answer:

Answer by John Q
Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A “Planetary Regime” with the power of life and death over American citizens. The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?

These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology — informally known as the United States’ Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:
• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.

Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama’s top health care adviser, said that under the “civic republican or deliberative democratic” construct, “services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia. A less obvious example is guaranteeing neuropsychological services to ensure children with learning disabilities can read and learn to reason.”

These are only two of Obama’s advisors, there are many others just as evil. Yes evil, who could agree with these without being evil? It’s not like Obama didn’t know the views of the people he hired. Of course he knew that’s why he hired them. He obviously believes the same things. That’s why Obama wants to quickly pass this health care bill it gives him room to einact future policies such as these.

There will be a lot of responces from Obama’s supporters saying “Oh no” he doesn’t believe this or that or they will just simply deny these people said it altogether. The truth is these are actual beliefs by actual Obama advisors and if you search Obama’s background (what isn’t hidden) you will find he endorses this kind of crap and a lot of other evil, yes evil, liberal ideology.

OK, if you voted for him you may have been simply duped it happens to everyone but how, in the name of God, can you defend his positions now that they are coming to light? Defending evil (once you know the truth) is a whole lot different then believing a lie. Now you will be held accountable as well. Oh, and bye the way, don’t play the race card on me as a defense either. I wanted Alan Keyes to be president!

Comfort Food Trends Are Bringing Us Back To Our Roots

Comfort food. Even the words sound warm and welcoming – like toasting your toes up by the fire on a cold winter day. Comfort food trends have seen a real resurgence in recent years and our desire for comfort food seems to be holding strong. So what is comfort food? Generally it’s the food we have good memories about, the food we think of when we hear the word homemade, and the food that reminds us of simpler times.

The list of favorite comfort foods can be different for each of us. While homemade macaroni and cheese and meatloaf with mashed potatoes have been staples for many of us, for some of us comfort food may include a delicious cheesy lasagna, or yummy pad thai. We all tend to love the food that takes us back to our roots – the foods we grew up with.

Some Of Our Top Comfort Food Choices Were Found To Be:
- Soup
- Meatloaf
- Pasta sauces
- Pot pies
- Mashed potatoes
- Pizza
- Potato salad
- Macaroni and cheese
- Biscuits and scones
- Chili
- Beef stew
- Fruit pies
- Chocolate chip cookies

Why the increased desire for comfort foods? It seems to be a combination of things. People are busier and more stressed than ever. The last few years have also resulted in many of us feeling less safe in the world. We want to feel warm and safe again, the way we did when we were young and the world seemed simpler.

There are people who watch food trends. These comfort food trend watchers say that we are craving the foods we grew up with. People enjoy their homes and want to entertain at home. We’re expressing an interest in cooking everything from easy party food recipes to BBQ to slow cooked roasts with all the trimmings.

We also want to experience different tastes, sometimes tastes from around the world, sometimes the familiar foods we love, with twist or an extra bit of pizzazz. So we have things like garlic mashed potatoes, four cheese macaroni and cheese and thin crust gourmet pizzas.

We’re also a population that is becoming more aware of health and making healthy food choices. Aging baby boomers are creating a bulge in our populations, but don’t want a bulge in their waistlines, so healthy lifestyle trends are front and center. We want fewer calories but all the taste, healthier eating with the comforts of our favorite foods. So where does this leave us? How do we combine comfort food trends with healthier lifestyle trends?

As much as we love our comfort foods many of us now look for ways to turn them into healthier choices, with a lower fat content and fewer calories. We tweak those great recipes from the past so we maintain (or sometimes even improve) the taste but forgo some of the fat, unhealthy carbs and sugar content. And while most of us are still eating our favorite comfort foods, maybe it’s just a little less often. We might decide to share that piece of amazing cheesecake so we get the taste but not the pounds.

We’re going back to our roots – but with healthy food choices in mind and a few wonderful, tasty twists along the way.
