Economic Swim: From Bloomberg, Obama as Robin Hood
The health-care overhaul, as outlined by Obama during his campaign and since then, would expand the current system to make sure everyone gets medical coverage. The president urged Congress in a speech two days ago to revamp health care this year, saying medical … “This is just a down payment,” said Edwin Park, a health- policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington-based group focused on issues affecting low- and moderate-income families. …  read more…

Resolved Question: Who makes up the “anti individual freedom” crowd?
I’ve been following the trail of the “anti individual freedom crowd” for a while now, all the while amassing information on them as best as possible. Their main agenda seems not so “anti” in nature, as to USE “anti” as a “DIVIDE & CONQUER” strategy.
The anti crowds/groups main goal appears to be “(P)eople (C)ontrol or (PC)”. The divide & conquer strategy they use seems to focus on a desire to achieve “elitist” status for themselves over others/masses etc.
While numerically smaller or immature groups of these antis, wannabe elitists are incubating, the more mature groups seem to have no troubles in infiltrating our elected officials minds within our USA.
The methods used to achieve legal backing to their schemes appears multi fold as follows…

(1) The use of instant mass media for both exposure & to provide an air of “legitimacy” to said group.

(2) The use of media coverage to “pressure” elected representatives to “toe their line” for them.

(3) Political blackmail against elected officials in office. The tobacco suits was/is a fine example of this.

While these “anti groups” are HIGH visibility in the USA, they do seem to “network” globally, as they are active globally. These are obviously well organized special interest groups meaning they need funds to operate on for a global scale. Sure, I’m sure the AMA donates some funds to the anti smoking groups, but not enough for a global campaign.
Where does the money come from to fund the anti second amendment groups? The anti obesity groups? The anti urban sprawl groups? There seems to be no DIRECT paper trail to lead from the “funders” to the activists.
Are the following suggestions feasible…

(1) Rouge nations? If so how does the “cash” make it’s way into country?

(2) U.N. grants??? But, would that not be illegal?

(3) Cash drop offs at some secluded spot?

Like the infamous Tre Arrow & the Earth Liberation Front(ELF), WHO funds them? I mean you don’t live in the top of an old growth tree for ninety days with out support, am I right? Sure, I know their support group brings them food for the stay in the tree. BUT, what about after they leave the tree? They gotta go somewhere for food, shelter, medical care etc.
This all costs MONEY! Where’s the money coming from, like WHO is paying them to perform these stunts??? AND, IF their getting paid to perform these stunts, is that not taxable income by current U.S. law???
I must be missing something or else, regarding this subject, I must be alone in this world. All the skeleton masked protesters at the free trade meetings that pour into the city by the thousands, who’s paying them & their organizers? The unions, I dunno??? Maybe these folks are just ALL independently wealthy somehow? Again, I dunno?
Whats your opinion on the subject???

Resolved Question: Please help:ABORTION what do you think about the Freedom of Choice Act and Obama saying he will sign it?
What is the Practical Impact of FOCA?

In elevating abortion to a fundamental right, FOCA poses an undeniable and irreparable danger to common-sense laws supported by a majority of Americans. Among the more than 550 federal and state laws that FOCA would nullify are:

*

Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003
*

Hyde Amendment (restricting taxpayer funding of abortions)
*

Restrictions on abortions performed at military hospitals
*

Restrictions on insurance coverage for abortion for federal employees
*

Informed consent laws
*

Waiting periods
*

Parental consent and notification laws
*

Health and safety regulations for abortion clinics
*

Requirements that licensed physicians perform abortions
*

“Delayed enforcement” laws (banning abortion when Roe v. Wade is overturned and/or the authority to restrict abortion is returned to the states)
*

Bans on partial-birth abortion
*

Bans on abortion after viability. FOCA’s apparent attempt to limit post-viability abortions is illusory. Under FOCA, post-viability abortions are expressly permitted to protect the woman’s “health.” Within the context of abortion, “health” has been interpreted so broadly that FOCA would not actually proscribe any abortion before or after viability.
*

Limits on public funding for elective abortions (thus, making American taxpayers fund a procedure that many find morally objectionable)
*

Limits on the use of public facilities (such has public hospitals and medical schools at state universities) for abortions
*

State and federal legal protections for individual healthcare providers who decline to participate in abortions
*

Legal protections for Catholic and other religiously-affiliated hospitals who, while providing care to millions of poor and uninsured Americans, refuse to allow abortions within their facilities

Notably, pro-abortion groups do not deny FOCA’s draconian impact. For example, Planned Parenthood has explained, “FOCA will supercede anti-choice laws that restrict the right to choose, including laws that prohibit the public funding of abortions for poor women or counseling and referrals for abortions. Additionally, FOCA will prohibit onerous restrictions on a woman’s right to choose, such as mandated delays and targeted and medically unnecessary regulations Please Sign the Fight FOCA Petitionhttp://www.fightfoca.com/
Abortion is wrong.Google ABORTION Images and See For Yourself .
Latin 101 – “Fetus” means “Offspring,” not “Tissue”
Offspring means it’s a baby.
The baby has its own DNA.
You do not have the right to kill.
Stop all Abortions.
Rape:You do not kill the baby for the sins of it’s father.
For health I like how pro-choice people cannot name a case in which a abortion was done for the health of the mom.
See my mom was told to have a Abortion Because I was born with health problems but now I’m doing just fine.
Do you know what Partial Birth Abortion is?
They take the baby out side of your body than they kill it with a knife in it’s head.
How is a knife in a baby’s head your body?
Beeing for this bill will hurt the mom because non-licensed physicians will do abortions.
The truth is that only 1% of abortions are preformed due to the cause of rape.
Why should taxpayers fund ABORTIONS?
Margaret Sanger the Founder of Planned Parenthood was a racist Obama wants more tax dollars for Planned Parenthood and Planned Parenthood kills more black babies than anybody.
