Character Flaw

Character flaw was the description Sen. Tom Coburn used to describe the position that Kathleen Sebelius holds on abortion. This was the expression the Oklahoma senator, who is an OB-GYN doctor, used to describe the fact that Sebelius never saw an abortion she did not like.
Now, as much as I disdain what Mrs. Sebelius stands for on abortion and the fact that she, just as every other Obama cabinet nominee, is a tax evader, I believe that the outrage of Sen. Coburn should be best directed elsewhere.
The Senate voted to confirm Sebelius for Health and Human Services Secretary, confirming her with a vote of 65 to 31 with the needed minimum of 60 votes.
Of the 65 who voted for the woman are eight senators that happen to have an R after their names, meaning that if these so-called Republicans would have voted the correct way, the nomination would have been rejected.

Actually, the RINOs who voted yes were nine, but the ninth was Arlen Specter, who appropriately just switched his partisan loyalty to the Left. So n the interest of public information, here are the name of the traitors who, I hope, will be fired from their jobs next time they are up for election:

Brownback – KS
Bond - MO
Collins – ME
Gregg – NH
Lugar – IN
Roberts – KS
Snowe – ME
Specter – PA
Voinovich – OH

Collins, Snowe, Lugar and Voinovich are the usual suspects and Specter I have already addressed, but I was somewhat taken aback by Brownback. I guess the senators from Kansas are trying to catch up with the traitors from Maine. Keep it up, senators.

So now Sebelius will be placed in charge of the health issues of the country. The Leftist Congress declared that the explosion of the swine influenza in Mexico and its spread to the rest of the world, it was imperative that the secretary of HHS would be confirmed as soon as possible, that it was a matter of national security. Déjà vu all over again! Just like the country needed Tim Gaithner immediately, as a matter of national security to deal with the economic emergency, regardless of the tax evasion little problems the man had. So they got confirmed a guy that is in charge of all fiscal matters for an economy like the US, a guy not smart enough to avoid a “mistake” on Turbo Tax.
So how is little Timmy doing with the economy? Probably as well as Sebelius will be doing at HHS.
Some of the points of interest of the plan Obama has for the Universal Health Care he want America to have is based on the creation of a bureaucracy that will collect the medical records of all Americans and apply governmental control upon the treatments being given by doctors across the country. It will no longer be a medical decision to apply medical treatment to any of us, but it will be controlled by the secretary of HHS, who will also decide the punishment that doctors will receive should they not conform to the new, more efficient guidelines.

Just as a starter, I am extremely concerned about a federal agency controlling my medical records, or those of all Americans. They are supposed to be secret and private, but Obama wants them to be available to him. As a matter of history, it appears to me that the government does not have a good record about preserving personal and national right to privacy. With the HHS bureaucracy becoming larger and larger, the chances for illegal and malicious violation of privacy for millions of Americans, grows exponentially. Moreover, that kind of personal data could be very easily abused by the government for purposes of political attacks and individual’s character assassination. Not that the politicians would stoop that low!

The confirmation of Sebelius was just another step toward turning America into a Socialist country, and Obama is right on track as he and the panting Media is celebrating the first 100 days of the last days of a country that used to be the envy of the rest of the world and that the current political leadership in Congress and in the White House are trying so persistently to destroy.



And these are my thoughts!
