Happy New Year is what everyone is saying now.
I say also, may God Bless you All for this 2009 year.
Unfortunately, I spent the first hours of the New Year in a Hospital.
My wife was brought by Ambulance to the nearest Hospital for a Kidney stone that caused her more pain then the most intense Labor contractions.
I myself am a Healthcare worker, so I know how the system works in the ER.
Lengthy waits and noisy rooms are expected, but RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL STAFF ARE NOT EXPECTED.
Here is what happened, the Ambulance brought my wife to the ER and I stayed at home to watch our 3 young children. When I found someone to come over and watch our kids for an hour so I could go to the ER and see what was up with my wife, it was about 3 hours later.
As soon as I get to my wife's room in the ER, she is complaining of INTENSE PAIN. She begs me to get the Nurse and get some pain meds. I tell the Nurse and she says, "She just got some", in a callous sort of way. I responded by saying, "Well it's not enough". My Wife continues to moan even LOUDER in INTENSE PAIN.
5 minutes later, the Doctor walks in. He does not identify himself to me. He Callously says in a Condescending way, "Maam, you've got to stop that, you just started that act when He got here and I got here". I WAS INSENSED! I stated to this Condescending Doctor that my Wife NEVER complains of pain unless it really hurts. He proceeds to tell me all the medications that she received. I stated to him, "It is not enough, so get some more".
The idiot Doctor leaves and 5 minutes later, another Nurse gives my wife some stronger pain medication that does indeed work and puts her to sleep. Thank God.
This kind of Condescending, Callous attitude by both the 1rst Nurse and the Doctor is a prime example of how many Healthcare, and many American workers in general do not understand CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Poor Customer Service by these Healthcare workers is one of the many problems with our Healthcare system.
People, especially sick people in the Hospital are not to be treated like Cattle. Pain is Subjective and needs to be dealt with SERIOUSLY. People are Not to be made fun of or automatically Assumed to be overacting and not really in pain.
I wanted to bop this idiot Doctor in the nose.
Well, 3 hours later they discharged her home and said that the stone should pass on its own.
Thankfully, my Wife did not have Appendicitis or something more serious.
I will leave you with some New Year's Resolutions:
Pray more this year. Read the Bible more this year. Spend more time with your family this year. Love God more this year. Learn something new this year. Lose that extra Fat this year.
Make more money this year.

Christmas is Here. God sends His Son Jesus to Save the World
Merry Christmas to all.
I Love this Holiday the most.
What is Christmas you ask?
It is simply that God, in His infinite Complete Love for Mankind, came down from Heaven in the form of a human, born from a Virgin, Mary.
His Name is Called Jesus. He is the Son of God, God the Son.
He came to live and teach us how much God loves us.
However, he Mainly came to DIE. That's right. God came down to earth as Jesus for the Main purpose of Dying on the Cross and shedding His blood.
The Greatest thing is that three days later Jesus rose from the grave VICTORIOUS over death.
This is what Christmas is all about. Jesus. Not Santa, or gifts, or decorations, even though those things are good.
So don't be shy and say Merry Christmas to everyone you see today and tomorrow.

Calif. Attorney General says to Supreme Court, "Forget the Voters"
This past Nov. California Voters (for the 2nd time) said NO to Gay Marriage. And after the 1rst time the voters said NO to Gay Marriage, the California Supreme Court Overruled the Voters but said that if the Voters voted for an Amendment banning Gay Marriage that would be it, right? Wrong.This idiot Attorney General, who is supposed to uphold the law, is urging the California Supreme Court to VOID the will of the Voters and Cancel out the already passed Prop. 8.
You can't keep changing the rules, Mr. Jerry Brown.
Jerry Brown filed a brief Friday saying the measure that amended the California Constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman is unconstitutional. He says it deprives gay couples of a fundamental right.
Fundamental right? What right? Right now, Gays in California have ALL the same rights as married Straight folks, in the form of Civil Unions.
9 out of 10 Chinese people in California and 7 out of 10 Blacks voted Yes to Prop. 8 and therefore NO to Gay Marriage.
But Jerry Brown, who is in bed with the Gays (no pun intended) can't think of anything better to do with his time but flip off the Voters and Push his Gay agenda.
The Supreme Court could hear arguments in the litigation as soon as March. The measure's backers announced Friday that Starr, a former federal judge and U.S. solicitor general, had signed on as their lead counsel and would argue the cases.
Proposition 8's supporters assert that the Supreme Court lacks the authority or historical precedent to throw out the amendment.
"For this court to rule otherwise would be to tear asunder a lavish body of jurisprudence," the court papers state. "That body of decisional law commands judges — as servants of the people — to bow to the will of those whom they serve — even if the substantive result of what people have wrought in constitution-amending is deemed unenlightened."
AMEN and AMEN.
Voters in California. Keep fighting the Gay Mafia. Let us pray that the Supreme Court does the right thing and respect the Will of the Voters for once.

Madoff Scams 50 Billion, gets House arrest in 7 Million dollar Apartment
Bernard Madoff, accused of the largest fraud in U.S. history, will be allowed to remain in his $7 million Park Avenue apartment instead of being sent to jail, under terms of an agreement announced today by federal prosecutors.
This Scumbag, Madoff, scammed over 50 Billion with his Ponzi Scheme, wiping out scores of individual investors Life Savings, yet he still gets to stay at home in his posh New York Apt.
While the defrauded investors are left with NOTHING. Many hard working Americans are left DEAD BROKE at ages in their lives where its very difficult, if not impossible to get this money back.
Yet here is Madoff, laughing, yet BOASTING about ripping off tons of innocent people.
Bernard Madoff Investment Securities was the 23rd largest market maker on NASDAQ in October, handling a daily average of about 50 million shares a day. The firm specialized in handling orders from online brokers in some of the largest U.S. companies, including General Electric Co. and Citigroup Inc., Bloomberg News reported.
But on Dec. 10, Madoff allegedly told senior employees at his firm that his entire business was a fraud. According to the federal complaint, Madoff told those employees that he was "finished" and that "it's all one big lie." Madoff estimated "the losses from the fraud to be at least approximately $50 billion," the complaint states.
Here is the kicker, if you get caught shoplifting diapers and baby formula from Walmart and are not be able to post bail, you can bet you'll be cooling your heels in the county jail. Steal $50 billion from friends and if you're a Wall Street big wig with connections you go to your $7 million apartment.
My question is: Where did Madoff stash all that money??
His assets need to be seized and Madoff needs to be taken from his fancy apartment, in handcuffs, and sent directly to jail until the trial. Then sell off ALL his assets and repay those who were defrauded.
Here is the bottom line: The rich have their justice system and the poor has another. The idea that justice is blind is a joke. Judging and punishing men and women differently based on there riches will lead the people to the streets one day demanding a revolution to bring equal justice to all.

Stop Blaming Labor!
Yesterday, Congress decided NOT to extend bailout money to the Big Three Automakers (Ford, GM, Chrysler). The Senate Republicans blocked it claiming that the "Problem" was UAW (United Auto Workers Union) and that the Average worker needed to take a PAY CUT.
Now, I don't recall anyone yelling for pay cuts of the Financial Services Industry, yet they received a $700 BILLION bailout and all the Automakers wanted was $34 Billion. That is about 5% of what Wall St. got.
Yet where were the cries for "Pay Cuts" amongst that MUCH BIGGER bailout???
And while we are on the subject, since the Government is running a HUGE Deficit, why don't the Senators and Congressman take a Pay Cut. Seeing how they make about $80/hr as compared to the $29/hr of the average Auto worker.
What a bunch of Rich Elitist Hypocrites!
This Automaker bailout will save approximately 3 MILLION JOBS at about an average cost of $5000 per worker to the taxpayers. That's it, just $5000 per worker.
But, if the Big 3 go into bankruptcy and these workers become unemployed, we the taxpayers will be paying upwards of $20,000 per worker in unemployment benefits.
So we will save the taxpayers, and save these jobs with a mere $34 billion, which is just 5% of the Wall St. bailout.
Someone go down and grab Bob Corker and yell at him. I mean this is why people are voting democrat. The Republicans are killing their image by being against the hard-working, average Laborer.
The Republicans need to be the party FOR LABOR and FOR the WORKER. But they are currently not, and the average worker knows this.
Shame on the Republicans.

15 Year NAFTA Anniversary of a Failed Policy
Today, 15yrs ago, NAFTA was signed into Law by President Clinton. It effectively removed ALL Tariffs between Canada, USA, and Mexico.
Ross Perot warned us to hear the "Giant Sucking Sound" of thousands of jobs leaving the USA and going to Mexico.
Many people dismissed him as "paranoid", "protectionist".
Well 15yrs. later and MILLIONS of LOST JOBS later, we see that Ross Perot was RIGHT.
Except now many of those jobs that went South to Mexico, now have left Mexico for even CHEAPER SLAVE LABOR in CHINA.
I remember that right after NAFTA was passed, Mexico devalued its currency and went into even worse economic condition.
Company after Company has now left the USA for cheap, slave labor in first Mexico, but now more so in China.
China has become the WORLD FACTORY.
Both Republicans and Democrats are to blame.
What we are left with is cheap, sorry quality crapola + a few hundred LOW PAYING Service Jobs.
Shame Shame Shame on Congress for passing this horrible bill and letting it spread to even cheaper labor in communist red China.
We foolishly believed we were all in this together, equal partners in a bold new venture to create jobs and prosperity across the hemisphere. What we failed to realize is that despite the American flag lapel pins their CEOs wore, U.S. corporations have no “American” interest in their global wheeling and dealing. Only the bottom line matters. They saw NAFTA as a superhighway to drive down wages, and they put the pedal to the metal. Shuttered factories and loss of manufacturing jobs have made voters angry and frustrated.
People in the USA make the best quality products. China makes Garbage products.
People in the USA will pay a few bucks more if they know that "drill" or "shovel" or "whatever" they buy is made by their neighbor here in the USA and keeping him employed and the community healthy.
We just plain don't need any more so called Free Trade deals like NAFTA or CAFTA.
We don't need anymore cheap $3.00 T-shirts or $1.00 toys from China.
What we need are more HIGH PAYING MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THE USA.
Call your Congressmen to support higher Tariffs just say NO to any more outsourcing jobs out of the USA.

Planned Parenthood Covers Up Child Abuse! Shocking!
That's right, Planned Parenthood of Indiana is caught on tape LYING to what they thought was a 13yr. old girl.
Planned Parenthood continues to blatantly violate its trust with families and women.
This video is first in a series of hidden camera footage, collected over the summer, documenting the sexual abuse cover-up of the abortion industry across the nation.
Despite a consistent pattern of lawlessness and abuse, Planned Parenthood, a tax-exempt "nonprofit", made over $100 million in profits last year and has a billion-dollar budget. Planned Parenthood receives over $300 million from taxpayers.
Planned Parenthood, a tax-exempt nonprofit, made over $100 million in profits last year and has a billion-dollar budget, nearly a third of which comes from taxpayers through government funding.
Watch the Video here:
The footage shows Lila Rose, a UCLA student journalist and president of right-to-life advocacy group Live Action, posing as a 13-year-old girl. In an appointment with a Planned Parenthood nurse, Rose says she has been impregnated by a 31-year-old man, a clear case of child molestation under Indiana state law.
On tape, the nurse acknowledges her responsibility to report the abuse, but assures Rose she will not. The nurse says, "I am supposed to report to Child Protective Services," but tells Rose, "Okay, I didn't hear the age [of the 31-year-old]. I don't want to know the age."
She then instructs Rose how to obtain a secret abortion by crossing state lines in order to avoid Indiana's parental consent law. The nurse also coaches Rose to cover for the 31-year-old man by saying he is only 14. She says, "You've seen him around, you know he's 14, he's in your grade and whatever. You know what I mean."
Jackie Stollar, student president of a Live Action chapter in Oregon, accompanied Rose on the investigation. "In a repeated pattern, Planned Parenthood has violated the public trust. It should have its government funding revoked," she said. "During an economic crisis, can the government really spare $300 million to support such an unethical organization?"
"The Mona Lisa Project demonstrates how quickly the abortion industry's disrespect for unborn children becomes disregard for all humans," Rose explained. "Planned Parenthood offers no solutions for the victim of statutory rape—they give her an abortion and a bag of condoms and send her straight back into the arms of the abuser."
This is why absolutely NO MONEY from our Government should go to Planned Parenthood.
This is an outrage. Planned Parenthood needs to be SHUT DOWN.
Call your Congressman and Senator now.
