Johnny Cash - I Hear the Train a Coming
Personally I don't care what belief or practice a person has, but he or she(Reid,Pelosi, Boxer or Feinstein) are not going to force their unpatriotic views on me. They can take their Chicago Slim Ball leader and move to another country and practice whatever beliefs they want but we can't let them destroy OUR country and the second greatest document ever written OUR Constitution.
Some people would have us believe that the Constitution is a "living" document. No it is NOT, I've never seen it take a breath, wink or use the bathroom. It is a corner stone written in ink that spells out how OUR country should operate and if we want to change it how WE can change it. Obama OUR country and OUR Constitution are NOT yours to change, did you hear me? ONLY the people, as in "We the People. . . ." do you hear us? Do you hear the "train a coming"?
I have yet to find:
Where OUR US representatives and senators are given privileges like their own health care, their own retirement plan. Therefore, we should MAKE OUR representatives live under the same rules and laws they want us to, NO exceptions! If they don't want to do this then vote them OUT and let them know it is coming!
Where in OUR Constitution does it say a narcissistic anti-American politician wanting to take over the world by freely giving out classified information to OUR country's enemies can appoint and establish Czars?
I can't find a place in OUR Constitution that says the same person referenced above has the right or power to establish a National Security Force already funded by 500 billion of your dollars.
This is SICK or you going to continue to let this happen? We need to as voters get each of OUR representatives by the neck and whisper in their individual ears that their free ride in OUR capital is over if they, as my dad use to say, "don't straighten up and fly right." OUR representatives must hear loud and clear the train coming 'round the bend and loaded with tax paying voters is going to take back OUR country vocally and by voting weak, uncaring, scum out of office.
Am I upset, no question about it and so are many other folks across the nation and we're about to do something about it in the voting booths across the nation in 2010 and OUR train is going to really be rolling in 2012. We'll make it through, then it is my vision of trying the scum and the entire administration for treason. Why? Because they have put you, your family, friends and my family and me in perilous danger by their actions of give classified information to OUR county's enemies or maybe I should say their brothers. By the way it does define in OUR Constitution what treason is and how it should be dealt with!
God Bless OUR country and our wonderful citizens, as we start the TRAIN a Rolling to take back OUR country.

Michael Jackson Didn't Stand a Chance
‘Michael Jackson did not have a chance’ was my first thought when I read the report that just came out about what caused his untimely and tragic death. I was unprepared for the absolute disregard for the first tenant of the doctors’ Hippocratic Oath – First do no harm.
There was no way that harm would not have come to Mr. Jackson. It was beyond negligent to give him a mixture of three different kinds of sedatives, a muscle relaxant, an antidepressant in addition to Propofol, a general anesthetic that is only used in an operating room setting (because it can stop someone’s breathing). Each of these drugs by themselves can be lethal, but together it is a recipe that will almost definitely kill someone. I can think of no medical scenario that would justify mixing these kinds of drugs. Hopefully, Mr. Jackson’s death will teach us that prescription drugs, though helpful are no substitute for doctors doing everything in their power to protect the health of their patients, including just saying no when it is appropriate.
Anna Nicole and Heath Ledger are two celebrities that died from drug interactions. The death of Michael Jackson and his relationship with Dr. Murray is the most recent example that highlights the danger of the ‘doctor on retainer’. This relationship is based on a contract that makes the doctor an employee, in essence changing a relationship that should be equal, to one where the patient can dictate the course of treatment. This shift in power can potentially blur the lines that must be maintained for a healthy doctor/patient relationship. It then can place a physician in a position where he/she may be prescribing medication in a way that is not clinically appropriate because the patient demands it. This needs to be examined and changed.
As a society we need to take a look at the culture of prescription medication as the cure all. There is a perception that we can treat anything by taking a pill. This concept has been fostered by the pharmaceutical industry and their constant advertising. There are pills to make you happy, perform better sexually, help your memory, make you feel younger etc… In reality all of these medications have one thing in common; they simply manage the symptoms instead of healing the problem. Perhaps the best thing that can come out of the tragedy of Michael Jackson’s death is the examination of our culture of disease. Maybe it will change the paradigm to prevention and to healing disease instead of managing it with an endless list of prescription medications.

Gutting the CIA
Ridiculous, crazy and those were the mild words and thoughts of the audacity of the Attorney General Holden (the socialist) to form a new "group" to interrogate terrorist in detention. BS the administration might as well send our men and women in the CIA out with pistol with no bullets. How STUPID is this and how long can we let these kind of actions go on? This administration has telegraphed all enemies of OUR country that if you're a terrorist or terrorist country YOU NOW HAVE A FRIEND IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Folks we must start right this minute to STAY in touch with our representatives and make sure they understand that it is OUR country and we want it protected at ALL cost and if it means scaring the hell out of captured terrorist then do it. And, let the folks that KNOW how to do it, do their jobs. Does anyone with a partial brain, including our socialist leaning administration, think that these "Sweetheart terrorist" would think twice about real torture, say like cutting off your head in front of cameras? Come on folks we must stand up, get real, and get rid of this administration and the "Freedom Give Away Party-Obama, Reid & Pelosi" that in just eight short months has us in a deficit position of NINE TRILLION dollars and now laughed at throughout the world.
God Bless the folks that are going to the D.C. Tea Party in a couple of weeks. We will have a reporter at the Tea Party giving us live updates on www.radiosandysprings.com and www.americaswebradio.com.
Please copy and pass on, we must save our country from the radical left. The things that we know about are crazy and scare me. How crazy and dangerous are the things the administration "CZARS" are doing that we don't know about?
HELP!

Get Sick Read Health Care Bill
This is from FOX and it "is what it is" a CROCK and OUR congresspersons wrote this BS that first is so misleading, hard to read, and with so many hidden or "to be interpreted" sentences it makes it unbelievable. How can we keep any of OUR "so called" representatives? They sure don't seem to represent me and I doubt you.
WE the PEOPLE must get representatives that will live under the same laws, rules and policies that they want us to. There is NO one in any public office that would want this "CROCK" of health care plan and have to live with it OR maybe I should say DIE with it. You're not going to see my representative begging to go under this plan but he'll say it's good enough for you, me and our families. I say if a person running for public office, particularly federal, won't sign a pledge to eat off the same plate they want to serve us then WE should NOT support the hypocrite. Do you honestly think Pelosi or Reed would stoup so low as to go under this so called health care plan?
Please ONLY support the candidate that will pledge to live like you and me!
These are the views of Radio Sandy Springs and America's Web Radio we invite you to comment AFTER you've read the bill.

Health Care - More to Talk About
The health care debate has morphed into open season on doctors
By Dr. Elaina George, M.D.
When I read that the president had met with CEOs and other top representatives of the largest health insurance companies, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies before healthcare reform was crafted by Congress, I had my doubts about the direction of health care reform confirmed.
I already had reservations about whether we would get true reform when the very members of Congress who were tasked to lead the crafting of the bill had received hundreds of thousand of dollars from the very entities that were the major cause of the problem - the health insurance industry, big PhRMA, and for profit hospitals.
No wonder we have been seeing commercials sponsored by big PhRMA in support of the current health reform bill. It appears it is quid pro quo for the administration's deal to cap their concessions at 80 billion dollars over 10 years. NY Times Article
If I were a drug company executive or stockholder, I would be happy to support a bill that keeps the government from importing cheaper medication from
The health insurance companies who also support the healthcare reforms proposed by the President also stand to gain. Although they did not promise to make any concessions, they benefit by receiving more people to pay premiums since there is a mandate that everyone carry insurance (public or private) or face monetary sanctions. Market forces will draw people who are sicker and don't have the economic means to the public option leaving private insurance companies with members who are younger, healthier and have the ability to pay the premiums.
The argument that the public option will drive down costs is disingenuous - how can a program designed to cover about 10 million people (as per the Congressional Budget Office) really exert any pressure on the health insurance industry when a company like Blue Cross and Blue Shield has over 30 million members and United Healthcare is even larger? Even the President's health adviser Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel admits that although small insurance companies would likely go out of business, those private insurance companies left standing would support a reform plan that would bring "45 million new paying customers to the industry".
Hospitals have been given a pass. There has been no discussion on cutting the costs associated with hospital care. I have performed surgeries that where the hospital was paid 20-30 times what I have been paid. Is that fair? The hospital makes a profit on every item charged (e.g., per aspirin given, per IV placed or per box of tissue). It is this practice that has led to the astronomical costs and the prevalence of health care related bankruptcies. Initially there was talk of changing payments to a system where the payments could be bundled, but that has disappeared.
The physicians and other healthcare providers on the front line who actually deliver care have been demonized as the cause of health care costs run amuck. That is simply not true. The fact is no physician can just order test after test. Each time a test is ordered or a surgery is recommended, there has to be a medical indication for it. Furthermore, the test or surgery requested must be pre-certified by the insurance company after patient records are submitted. There are medical indications and standards of care put in place by a medical or surgical board for whether a test or surgery should be performed. This is in addition to the pre-certification process of the insurance company. The reality is insurance companies have routinely superseded this and have denied care that is medically indicated to save money and boost their profits.
My question still remains unanswered. How can a reform bill that clearly serves the interests of the health insurance companies, big PhRMA and for profit hospitals possibly be a good thing for patients or doctors?

TGIF It's NOT
Saturdays on America's Web Radio and Radio Sandy Springs starts with the Classic Car Show, followed by Backyard Poultry, America's Home Grown Veggies, and the Master Gardeners Hour all great, informative and fun shows. So, tune in to www.radiosandysprings.com or www.americaswebradio.com and tell everyone you know to do the same!
The few minutes I got out of the box and watched the box confirmed again how we live in troubled times. What did the administration give up to get the two reporters(?) out of North Korea? Speaking of that, where is all the transparency promised during the campaign. It seems to me and I have very limited knowledge but there is more covering up and lying going on today by the administration and Congress than ever before, by ALL parties.
Lastly, and I will for lack of better words BEG you to start preaching the idea that we should not vote for ANYONE that does not pledge in writing during the coming campaigns to represent us and live under the same rules we do i.e. Social Security, Health Care, and taxes!

A Shame of Response
When our own elected officials are trying every way possible to do us in we should respond and all I have seen is "I'll let the other guy respond". That's what's wrong with today we're all waiting on the other guy to respond. I must admit I believe totally in the "Tea Party" and Fair Tax. I didn't go to the rally in Atlanta because frankly I was too tired. My 15 to 18 hour days 7 days a week just about do me in. But, with what's going on in Washington I will fight daily to try and get people's attention. Yes, I know I'm nothing compared to a Beck or many others but, this is a way to at least relieve some of the frustrations I feel and you that read my blog feel also.
Chevez shuts down 38 radio station because he doesn't like what they say because they oppose him. Could it happen in the US? I think it could at any time and will obviously start with the anti-Obama talk stations, mark my word they'll try.
Again I say, there is only one way to stop the craziness in Washington DC and that's to get rid of them all by voting starting in 2010. If folks running for office won't pledge and sign to live like we do with Social Security, health care, paying taxes and more then THEY should not be OUR elected officials. ONLY vote for and elect representatives that will live like we do!
38 Radio Stations Closed by Government
This was sent to us by an avid America' Web Radio and Radio Sandy Springs listener and great patriot, and we felt it important to pass on.
This country is in dire straits and all it’s citizens (liberal and conservative) in jeopardy of losing may if not most ALL Freedoms…..
