When it’s White it’s Racism When it’s Black it’s…
Andrew Sullivan has pointed out - like SO many others, that some comments made by the Hillary Clinton camp are considered racist.
“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article “that found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”
So why is it that when the Obama camp boasts about taking in 92% of the Afro-American vote - nothing is said except maybe umm “congrats”?
Let’s face it! There is a tremendous racial divide in this election! There is a tremendous gender based divide in this election and if you’re going to call one racist, you must call BOTH racist!
That’s like saying it’s ok for gangsta rappers to say the N word but not a white rapper.
- If people want to be created equal they must first begin acting as an equal.
- Lead by example - don’t demand change if you only plan to follow.
And if you don’t want to act equal or lead by example… This one’s for you!
Take Your Health Insurance Card and Shove It
That’s ‘kinda’ what I had to tell Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield yesterday. My husband and I had just returned from the doctors office where we had suffered quite an embarrassing ordeal.
As of April 1, our insurance was supposed to cover my husbands pre-existing condition, bipolar. We got to the window expecting to pay our co-pay only to be called out for a whopping $270 bill because our insurance had declined payment saying we had met our maximum allowance for the year.
It’s MAY for crying out loud! How could this be?
I told the girl if that’s the case, I had paid my maximum premium for the year.
We’ve been paying $304 per month plus all the tests and medications for this ‘pre-existing’ condition, looking forward to the day when it would be covered - this according to their letter giving us a date when the restriction would be lifted.
When I phoned the Anthem, they told me there had been a change in my policy and that I was told there could be a change without notice. Apparently we are limited to TWO office visits a year now. I proceeded to ask “what would happen if we paid the office call, what would be covered then?”
The rep told me they would pay 80% of anything over $2000 deductible per person per year.
After doing the quick math in my head…calculating the tests, premium, office calls and medications, I realized I was going to be paying out $10,000 before that insurance would actually cover much of anything.
I told the girl I wanted my coverage canceled and my payment they had JUST cashed to be refunded.
We’ve now returned to take our place among the millions of other American’s who are Uninsured because we can’t afford to keep insurance coverage. And to be honest, it’s a lot nicer here! Less headaches and I figure if something happens that results in thousands of dollars in medical bills, I’ll just do what most people are being forced to do and file bankruptcy.
This one’s for YOU - George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and our noble elected officials who are being bought by so many lobbyists!
Obama and the Racist Minister
Given the fact that life around our house is always so hustled, I hadn’t caught the mention of the controversial and racist minister on the news. There’s not a day that goes by that my mother doesn’t give me the rundown of top news on CNN and this happened to be one that I made mental note to check out when I had a moment to myself.
Now, I’m thinking if I were a senator who was even entertaining dreams of running for President one day, I would make it clear to those around me that they should act accordingly or I would distance myself from them and not give the people the impression that I believe the same way - even if the person does act like a crazy old uncle.
If this minister has been delivering racist sermons since 2003 - you can bet he’s been delivering them a lot longer and Obama made the choice to associate himself with the church, the minister and the congregation. That to me means that he has to support the teachings to some degree.
In a 2003 sermon, Wright said of America’s treatment of African-Americans: "The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people."God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."
At one December service, Wright argued Clinton’s road to the White House is considerably easier than Obama’s because of his skin color.
"Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single parent home. Barack was," Wright says in a video of the sermon posted on YouTube. "Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary! Hillary ain’t never been called a ‘nigger!’ Hillary has never had her people defined as a non-person."
Barak Obama has a 20 year history with Jeremiah Wright - personally I refuse to call him a paster or a man of the cloth because he’s doing little more then spewing hate and furthering his own cause on the shirt tales of Obama pandering racism. He’s no better then Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton as far as I’m concerned.
I think this should speak volumes to the voters in America. Is this really the type of person we want running our county? The type who follows a clergy with such miserable teachings?
It’s really something to think about! It’s things like this that are making this election all the more scary and every single vote all the more important.
With that said, I dedicate this Flippin’ It post to Jeremiah Wright for being such a hypocrite hiding behind the cloth.
Not even a kiss on the way out the door…
Only a true American will understand what I’m about to say - everyone else, I’d LOVE if you would chime in on how wonderful it is to have health care that doesn’t bend you over every chance it gets! Please. Do. Let my fellow American’s know that our health care system really does suck ass!
I have to wonder what sort of scam is being ran between the insurance companies, health care providers and our government. A few months ago, I began keeping track of EVERY single doctors visit - every single test - every single, well, everything that pertained to medication, doctors and insurance.
What I’ve found is a constant flow of bills and charges that are being sent under a blue million different account numbers.
What exactly is the racket? I have to wonder just how many people are being screwed without so much as a thanks or a kiss blown across the room on the way out the door?
Just this morning I received a call from Med One Solutions (Just how many flippin’ collection agencies ARE there?) - telling me my husband owes bills from September of 2007.
Anyone who knows me knows I’m as anal as they day is long when it comes to organization. While I had the ‘collection specialist’ on the phone, I asked her to give me account numbers and details of the charges. She told me I had to request that in writing - that it could take up to 30 days and in the mean time, the charges were going on my husbands credit report.
Amazing they want their money NOW - but I have to WAIT for the answers to the question "What the Frap am I paying for?"
I’d like to bend every flippin politician over and torpedo their ass with a truck full of unpaid doctor bills of every hard working American who’s being scammed to cover the asses of the illegal immigrants that are getting free health care because of scams just like this one.
I Gar-In-Fruk-In-Tee ya I won’t be paying one more bill until I’ve got the itemized statement from BOTH Med One Solutions AND my insurance company AND the hospital/doctors offices.
Anyone else feel the same way? Do you pay close attention to your doctor bills?
If not, you should!
And this my dear friends is my Flippin It post for the week!
God’s gotta Bless America - because Bush and company and blastin’ it all to hell!
