Marxist Propaganda In Our Schools

The "Story Of Stuff" is a 20 minute animated video about the "life-cycle of goods and services" (the evil of capitalism). The documentary was funded by the Tides Foundation, The Funders Workgroup for Sustainable Production and Consumption, Free Range Studios and other foundations. Annie Leonard is the author and host of the online video that is currently thriving in school classrooms and producing more enviro-marxists throughout America. It's been seen in 228 countries and territories as well as veiwed more than 7 million times as of September 2009 according to the hosting site. Foreign subtitles are provided so that the whole world can see just how destructive our capitalism is for their portion of the planet.

Watch the video above to experience the power of indoctrination of our younger trusting citizens. Then check out Lee Doren's critique (here) . Lou Dobbs of CNN also touches on “The Story Of Stuff”. Ms. Leonard said that the video was “originally made for environmental conferences and never made for children.” Yet, she acknowledged “…urging schools to download the video or buy DVDs for classroom use". According the filmmaker, it has been seen already in 7,000 schools.

Democrats are lying about Health Care Reform bills not funding abortion

When the Democrats and their supreme leader, Pres. Barack Obama, tell you that their Health Care plans do not fund abortion, they are lying. Although the language of the bills do not state outright that abortions would be covered, that is simply not the case.

I found the best explanation of this in an article on CNSNews.com:

=== On August 11, Cardinal Justin Rigali, the archbishop of Philadelphia and chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Pro-Life Activities, wrote a letter to members of the U.S. House of Representatives stating that the House health care bill supported abortion and was unacceptable to Catholics.

“Because some federal funds are authorized and appropriated by this legislation without passing through the Labor/HHS appropriations bill, they are not covered by the Hyde amendment and other federal provisions that have long prevented federal funding of abortion and of health benefits packages that include abortion,” Rigali wrote.

“The committee rejected an amendment to extend this longstanding policy to the use of federal subsidies for health care premiums under this Act,” Rigali continued. “Instead the committee created a legal fiction, a paper separation between federal funding and abortion: Federal funds will subsidize the public plan, as well as private health plans that include abortion on demand; but anyone who purchases these plans is required to pay a premium out of his or her own pocket (specified in the Act to be at least $1.00 a month) to cover all abortions beyond those eligible for federal funds under the current Hyde amendment. Thus some will claim that federal taxpayer funds do not support abortion under the Act. But this is an illusion. Funds paid into these plans are fungible, and federal taxpayer funds will subsidize the operating budget and provider networks that expand access to abortions. Furthermore, those constrained by economic necessity or other factors to purchase the ‘public plan’ will be forced by the federal government to pay directly and specifically for abortion coverage.”

While not mentioning Cardinal Rigali and the Catholic bishops, President Obama has said that those who say the health care bill funds abortion are lying.===

President Obama supports federal funding for abortion, and throughout his career, he has supported all forms of abortion. By his actions, it is well known that he cares little for the lives of the unborn.

=== As a state senator in Illinois, Obama was the leading opponent of legislation that called for treating a child that survived an induced labor abortion as a “person” under Illinois law.

=== As a presidential candidate, Obama vowed to Planned Parenthood that he would sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would enshrine abortion on demand in a federal statute.

=== As president, Obama has approved federal funding for research that requires the killing of human embryos.

No, Mr. President, it is you who are lying. And members of your party who continue to deny that their Health Care Reform bills won't cover abortions are lying as well.

The majority of American citizens are against the Democrat's plans and have spoken out against them. President Obama's response is to suggest that he will submit his own plan. That is not the answer. If anything, a plan written by the liberal radicals that make up the Obama Administration can only be WORSE.

Americans who value life and liberty should insist that all current plans be scrapped and should reject any and all plans that involve the destruction of the current Health Care system.

LEAVE OUR HEALTH CARE ALONE. It isn't broken. There are parts of it that need to be changed to make it better. (TORT reform enacted; enable insurance availability across state lines; prosecution of Medicare and Medicaid fraud; etc.)

Congress and the President need to work to fix what is problematic in the current system.

Here is something else the Democrats are lying about: the fact that Republicans have offered their own plans.

The Democrats need to stop lying to the American citizens.

The Joke is on Congress

Everyone is upset because one or more of the Health Care/Insurance Reform bills exempts Congress, Federal Employees and Union members (like AFL-CIO, etc). It just shows how wrong the whole thing is, but ..... I'm wanting to talk about it for another reason.

The biggest lie being told is that "everyone will get to keep their insurance if they like it". There are several things wrong with that statement, but the main reason this is a lie is because, as time goes by, the pool of insurable people will get smaller as people are forced onto the public option, and eventually the private companies won't be able to compete and still make a profit, and will go out of business. Forcing even more people onto the public plan.

Well, I have been thinking about that and I think that if they do manage to ram a bill through with some form of public option, that the joke will be on Congress and on the union (reg and Fed) members.

Here is why - Congress and Federal Employees have great health insurance. I know, because I'm a Federal Employee. What makes our insurance so sweet is not that we have a great insurance COMPANY in particular, its that we have a choice between several fee-for-service and HMO plans, and they compete with each other to get us to enroll. (USPS workers have it even better than reg Fed employees.)

I don't know much about regular union members' insurance, but I believe they would benefit because the unionized companies would not be penalized by the 8% tax and thus not inclined to drop what they already have.

But think about it: Congress, Federal Emps and union members have insurance with some of the same private insurance companies as regular folks do - Blue Cross, Kaiser, United Healthcare, etc. SO, if these private companies eventually go out of business, who will Congress and the union members get insurance with? Are there enough people in Congress, Federal Agencies and unions combined to make it profitable for private companies to vie for their business? I doubt it.

So, who will they get health insurance from? If what I'm thinking is
correct, then we will ALL eventually be on the public plan, including members of Congress. And the joke will be on THEM.

Oh, and by the way, the people aren't being fooled by the change to "co-ops". We all know that that is just another way to slip in something to get a public option started. Congress needs to stop assuming that we are all too stupid to see through their tricks.

The U.N.'s Agenda 21 - "Sustainable Societies"

Have you ever heard of "Agenda 21", the UN blueprint for global transformation and the yearly "Earth Summit" attended by world leaders? :

"Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment."

=== Agenda 21 sounds good to many well meaning people. Drafted for the purpose of creating "sustainable societies", it has been welcomed by nations around the world. Political, cultural, and media leaders have embraced its alluring visions of social justice and a healthy planet. They hide the lies behind its doomsday scenarios and fraudulent science. Relatively few consider the contrary facts and colossal costs.

After all, what could be wrong with preserving resources for the next generation? Why not limit consumption and reduce energy use? Why not abolish poverty and establish a global welfare system to train parents, monitor intolerance, and meet all our needs? Why not save the planet by trading cars for bikes, an open market for "self-sustaining communities," and single dwellings for dense "human settlements" (located on transit lines) where everyone would dialogue, share common ground, and be equal? ===

Go to YouTube and do a search for Agenda 21. Watch the two videos I've listed below -

Agenda 21 For Dummies


Obama On Track For Agenda 21

This initiative was started by the United Nations back in 1992. Look it up and read about it. Then think about the background of John Holdren, Obama's Science and Technology czar. If you aren't familiar with him, he is the man who co-authored a book that is chock full of wonderful ideas about population control. You can find a lot of information about him on Front Page magazine. All the legislation that Obama and the far-left liberals in Congress are trying to get enacted is connected to Agenda 21 - Cap & Trade regulations, Universal Health Care, the Clean Water Restoration Act, etc.

We need to look at the BIG picture. We not only have to fight to kill the Health Care legislation, we have to fight to kill Cap & Trade in the Senate. We have to examine closely any current and future bills.

The majority of the members of Congress probably aren't even aware of any of what is really going on, they are just "useful idiots" , too lazy to read the bills they are voting on, happy to vote "yes" in return for special favors and pork to take home to the voters.
