Transparency?! "Right"!!

Does any of this sound familiar?



I wish our Presidential "Messiah" would see to it that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be just as transparent as he pledged to be.

WAIT A MINUTE !   THEY ARE !!

The Health Bill’s Stealth Homosexual Agenda



Thursday, Nov. 12, 2009 As the Senate works behind closed doors to combine the newly passed House health care takeover bill with two Senate versions that have already passed separate committees, special interest groups are rallying their members to lobby for favored provisions. The House bill, the Affordable Health Care for America Act (3962), passed on Nov. 7 by a vote of 220 to 215. The Senate’s timetable is unclear, with Majority Leader Harry Reid pledging to complete a bill before Christmas, but many observers say that this is unlikely because of the sheer immensity of the proposal and the growing opposition.


Among the biggest winners in the House version were homosexual activists. According to the Human Rights Campaign, the largest "gay" pressure group, the House bill contains several key elements that "have been part of HRC’s legislative agenda as free-standing bills for many years," says the group’s Website, which boasts that HRC lobbied hard to have them included. The only negative aspect in HRC’s eyes is the Stupak-Pitts amendment barring federal funding for abortions, which passed 240 to 194. HRC pledges to "work with our pro-choice coalition allies to help see that it is removed or revised as health care reform moves forward."


That’s a good bet, since President Obama promised Planned Parenthood that abortion subsidies would be part of health care reform. Key pro-homosexual provisions highlighted by HRC include:


Special treatment  A section designating "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" as special categories would open up "health data collection and grant programs focused on health disparities related to sexual orientation and gender identity." The "gay" lobby, which has been promoting the fiction, especially among schoolchildren, that homosexual behavior is natural and poses no health risks, admits here that the behavior involves unique health problems. Unmentioned are astronomically higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS among homosexual males, and increased rates of domestic violence, suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, and mental illness among both sexes.


Domestic partner tax benefits  HR 3296 incorporates the language of the proposed Tax Equity for Health Plan Beneficiaries Act, which would apply marital-type tax advantages to same-sex couples. Currently, employer-provided health insurance costs for a married couple are excluded from gross taxable income. This is a way that companies and the tax code historically have supported marriage, which is regarded as a key factor in attracting the most stable, loyal employees. Under the bill, employees who have domestic partners would be treated the same as those with spouses.


More HIV funding for the states  The bill incorporates the Early Treatment for HIV Act, which, according to HRC, "would permit state Medicaid programs to provide HIV treatment to individuals before they develop AIDS. The act would amend Title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide states with the option of covering low-income, HIV-positive people as ‘categorically needy.’ States taking advantage of this option would be provided with an enhanced federal Medicaid match." This is the only provision that might make some sense—getting aid to people before they develop full-blown AIDS. But it needs more examination in light of its impact on Medicaid, etc. 


Pro-homosexual, comprehensive sex education  HR 3962 provides funding for comprehensive condom-focused sex education programs, while leaving out abstinence programs, which HRC dismisses as "discriminatory" because they don’t facilitate "safe" gay sex. Given that after three decades of "comprehensive" sex ed, that homosexual males are still by far the largest category of AIDS cases and deaths and represent the lion’s share of syphilis and other STDs, the claim to be able to teach "safe" gay sex should be regarded as an oxymoron. The HRC also does not like the emphasis that abstinence programs put on delaying sex for marriage and supports programs that sexualize children at younger and younger ages.


Non-discrimination The bill "prohibits consideration of personal characteristics unrelated to the provision of health care." HRC sees this as elevating "sexual orientation" to a civil rights category within the health care system.

The two Senate versions so far "do not contain the important provisions for LGBT people incorporated in the House-passed bill," HRC notes, promising to lobby for final inclusion of its list.

Is it any wonder why the Democrat's win the White House and both houses in Congress every so often only to be swept from one or all positions 2 to 4 years later.

Face it America, since the Jimmy Carter years, I have never seen so much incompetence and deliberate acts of defiance against the wishes of the American people that they are suppose to represent.   You would think that with the "TEA PARTY PROTESTS" and the August "TOWN HALL MEETINGS", leaders in both houses of Congress as well as the President would get the message.   Even losing 2 governorships ( New Jersey and Virginia ) earlier this month didn't faze them.

Sink or swim, the Liberals in Washington D.C. have placed ALL THEIR EGGS in one basket on one last attempt to steal the souls of the American people.  And they still have an "Ace in the hole" to play should they begin losing their control around the throat of the American People.

George W. Bush !!!

Think about it.  Every time they feel pressure from the opposition to their Liberal agenda's,  Democrat's play one of two cards.  The BUSH CARD or the RACE CARD.   And now that they see that the RACE CARD is no longer getting the traction it once had ( thanks to idiots like Rev. Jeremiah Wright,  Janeane Garofalo,  Bill Maher,  Keith Olbermann,  Rachel Maddow and many others ),  it's now time to use the BUSH CARD.

Don't tell me you don't see this coming.   A blind man could see this from a mile ahead.   Why do you think Attorney General Eric Holder announced that self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba would be transported onto U.S. soil to face justice in civilian court?


So the courts can publicly embarrass the BUSH administration, the C.I.A., the military or any other government agency involved in the gathering of intelligence to protect America.  If they can convince you that "water boarding" and  "sleep deprivation" is torture, they hope you'll focus your attention on that instead of what they are doing.  Remember how engrossed America became during the O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson trials? 

It will be the same way during the TERRORIST'S TRIALS.  You can put money on it.

And while we vegetate on these 9/11 trials in N.Y.C., the Liberal Leadership is counting on the American people to forget to take the time to notice "little" things like actually READING THE BILLS that they pass, attending those time consuming TOWN HALL MEETINGS to object to PORK BARREL SPENDING, the RAISING OF TAXES to fund their agenda,  as well as those subtle changes in our CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS that would allow them to RELINQUISH OUR OWN NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY over to a foreign power in order to form that ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT they so eagerly want.  


Now, how is that for their so-called "transparency"?
