As an American, I am downright pissed-off with our Federal Government. The corruption, the lies, the epic FAILS, the taxation, the debt... the list goes on and on.

Why do we allow it to be? What is wrong with us? Have we lost our identity as a nation of free people?

How did it come to this?

Tonight, for better or for worse, I am here to remind you what it is to be an American.

The truth is a powerful weapon.

The American people overwhelmingly favor a public option and an insurance exchange. Yet, the Blue Dogs continue to stand in the way of this historic legislation. At this point, there can only be one truly valid reason for this ...these Blue Dogs are just simply bought and paid for by the health insurance companies and will never support any plan that threatens the massive profits of these insurance companies.

IF THIS IS TRUE, and I do say 'if' because I don't know for absolute certain one way or the other... but if this is in fact the real reason that healthcare reform is 'dying'... then it is Obama's duty to bring this ugly truth front and center. And, the best way to do this is to shed massive amounts of light on the Blue Dogs dealings with the health insurance companies. The biggest power a president has is the pulpit. Obama needs to use it.

The Blue Dogs should be mercilessly exposed by Obama for the frauds they are.

It boggles the mind at how some news organizations operate. A former U.S. Congresswoman goes on a life endangering humanitarian mission, gets captured and is then held in jail against her will. Yet, it takes the MSM over two days to report this and they do it during the Friday 'news dump' where it will get lost in the shuffle.

Of course, Israel can do no wrong, right?

I'm tired of the American MSM covering up the atrocities that have been taking place in Palestine for the last couple years.

Sorry for the ranting.

Here's the story...
