Keeping Obama off the campaign trail or community organizing is like throwing a hunk of kryptonite in superman’s pocket. Obama is out on the healthcare campaign trail getting energized. He is out of his element when he is restricted to only administrative duties. He is like Jay Leno being confined to a mirror and a tape recorder, or The Eagles confined to a recording studio never being able to perform to a live audience. Obama needs to succeed, and be accepted to stay energized, and his ideology along with many democrats will not rest until healthcare becomes firmly entrenched in the vices of government control.

You remember the old saying, "the greatest wealth is health" Virgil. If we allow others the decision for our care aren’t we being poor stewards of what God gave us? We need to make the decisions that effect the outcomes of the physicians we choose to care for us.

Watch out for this talented community organizer we are watching re-energize. If we continue to allow what is ours, to be taken from us, our health will be of little value to us either. There is no medical procedure or wonder drug that can restore freedom once taken away.

Please put your label maker away. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Democrat/Republican, Left/Right, Liberal/Conservative; the issue of healthcare affects us all. In spite of whatever is said from Washington D.C., this has clearly become a political issue, and if you believe it hasn’t you need to step back and trust your instincts after absorbing the truth.

No matter what your political or social leaning is we all agree that healthcare needs attention and comprehensive reform. What is going on in Washington D.C. is an experiment with our lives, health, security, and money. This is not a game show or reality TV program called "Beat the Clock". This is more than likely THE most important legislation we have or will install certainly in my lifetime. I am going to ask some serious insightful questions that I want you to think about. I have researched and soul searched each issue, and you owe it to yourself to think out each one, and then voice your wishes to the house as quickly as possible. I would send a letter of commendation to Barack Obama if he would get on TV tonight and inform the Americans that he wants the House to continue their work, but the legislation will not be voted on until their return from the August break.

If the new Healthcare reform is comprehensive, and a solution is and/or will be good for all Americans, then there is no reason why there should not be a mandate. Once the legislation is passed, all Federal employees will become a part of the government option provided that President Obama speaks of. That would be fair and would ensure a secure feeling in any American choosing or forced into this option, wouldn’t it?

I’m not a Rhodes scholar, but I shouldn’t have to be in order to understand the three bills that sit in Congress. We want a comprehensive reform, not a complicated reform. There is no way, more than a thousand pages of legalese can be uncomplicated is there? There is good reason to believe that buried in that more than a thousand pages of legalese, there are issues lawmakers do not want us to understand, don’t you think? I believe it should be mandatory for each legislator to have read, and had time to digest any legislation before it is voted on, don’t you think?

Today Nancy Pelosi presented testimony from citizens that have suffered catastrophic medical trauma that not only challenged their lives, but compromised their financial well being. It was sad to hear the stories, and it really stirred the sympathies of many and may have even introduced a little fear into those that have uncertainty in their medical coverage. You may think I am taking a coldhearted view of this theatric ploy? Nothing could be further from the truth. My family has faced as troubling a reality as any I heard today. I lost a job that provided health insurance, when my wife fell to breast cancer. It was a financial and emotional nightmare that went on for six years until finally she was given a clean bill of health. She died six months later leaving me with a broken heart and an eleven-year-old daughter and an eight-year-old son to raise without their mother. So it doesn’t mean I lack compassion, but what I do lack is a sincere and comprehensive understanding of this legislation that is being rushed down our throats. Do you understand the more than 1,000 pages of legalese that even Congress wants passed without reading?

Something doesn’t smell right to me. What is the huge rush? Why can’t the legislation have the time to thoughtfully consider every aspect of what is being proposed? Are we truly "We the people"? Once the lawmakers agree on the legislation, why can’t we have a shot at seeing and understanding what is being proposed? Do you think it is a good idea to get all these Federal Employees in the same program that is good for us, if it’s passed? Mandated Healthcare, is that Constitutional? It’s clear that a government option for Healthcare coverage would be available, does that allow my small business employer the choice to drop my coverage? He said it’s really expensive to cover all twenty of us! Is it possible that this administration just wants more control of our lives at our expense?

My opinions in this matter will look at the truth, not the hype or the emotional atmosphere that continues to exist around the race struggle real or purposed. I can think of two individuals in society who play off the race card issue for the very purpose of their existence, and that would be Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Neither one in my opinion serve a greater cause than inciting racial tensions just as the Senate resolution and any reparations will. Truth be told, if racial tensions did not exist they would both be out of a luxurious lifestyle and a place in the limelight, both of which they seem to be obsessed with.

If I had to explain my belief of equality in society, it would have to be patterned after a philosophical belief that each human being is created equal and that God has a unique plan for every life when we seek His guidance and His will for the outcome. That being said, when I see someone walk in a door, I see a person. It doesn’t matter whether that person is male/female, young/old, and race means nothing. At the point of entry a person’s actions and attitude are the defining moment for others to assimilate the character of that person. So if a person chooses to be engaging, we go on from there in determining what the future holds. On the other hand, if a person chooses to be alienating by their behavior, it is likely there will be no future opportunity.

I had the unique opportunity of being stationed in the south in 1965 when the civil rights movement was very fresh on the minds of many. In Louisiana and Georgia there were many of the remnants of segregation remaining that were foreign to me because I spent the majority of my lifetime in the Midwest where none of the outward signs of segregation existed. What I did see made no sense to me. Separate drinking fountains, entrances to movie theaters, seating arrangements, and just flat "not allowed". That alone defied my own personal standard of fair, and I would not subscribe to that treatment of any person, nor would I allow that to occur if practiced in my environment. It is not only demeaning, but it defies logic and common sense. To me there are two types of segregation. One type of segregation is drastically wrong because it forces a human behavior both in thought and in deed that is contrary to natural behavior. Mankind is a rebellious sort by nature so when we are forced to adhere to something that defies a natural tendency it provokes us in either thought or action to process just the opposite. It has nothing to do with how we are brought up or a shaping environment, it is an innate part of who we are as a person and how it manifests itself depending on one’s personality and conviction. One person may suppress their thoughts or feelings while another will vocally or actively defy any restriction. There remains a good segregation that seems to be something that escapes those superior human beings in our government that write laws with tunnel vision. There is segregation that is innate and is more likely prevalent as a result of comfort. Human nature drives us to adapt in social settings that which we derive the most comfort from and our performance in those comfort settings is obvious. In other words, gravitate to friends, relatives, same gender, like ethnic group, and similar age group.

I owe no one an apology for events that occurred that I had nothing to do with, nor do I owe any reparations that some slick politicians will enact in order to get votes come election time. I do have an idea though. I think if it is the choice of Congress to enact a resolution and legislation for an apology and reparations because in their heart of hearts it is truly a passion of theirs, they should do it conditionally. That condition would be that the 111^th Congress and current administration including all czars should assemble on a noted day to render a public apology for government’s role in slavery. Any and all reparation will be administered by contributions donated by all those under Federal employ and all businesses that accepted bailout funds from January 2009 through December 2012. President Obama will personally oversee contribution drives to be held quarterly upon approval of any Reparation Legislation directed toward descendants of African-American slaves.

The apologetic and reparation mindset of legislators and liberals who believe they are guilty for every wrongdoing since the beginning of time, are the very ones that promote legislative behavior to ram down the throats of every American. This type of mindset will do nothing more than fan the flames of racial tensions that already exists due in large part to the media and politicians using racial issues kept alive to promote their own selfish purposes.
