Congress & Healthcare Bill thoughts

I normally don’t post politically oriented items on the Stoked News site, but a friend sent this to me and it really hit me hard… Enjoy and think about what is happening to the USA …  Editor

To:  President Obama and all 535 voting  members of the Legislature, 

It is now official,  you are ALL corrupt morons:  

The U.S.  Post Service was established in 1775. You have  had 234 years to get it right and it is  broke.   

Social  Security was established in 1935. You have had  74 years to get it right and it is  broke.   

Fannie  Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71  years to get it right and it is  broke.

War on  Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years  to get it right; $1 trillion of our money  is confiscated each year  and transferred to “the poor” and they only want  more.    

Medicare  and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have  had 44 years to get it right and they are  broke.  

Freddie  Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39  years to get it right and it is  broke.   

The  Department of Energy was created in 1977 to  lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has  ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of  $24 billion a year and  we import more oil than ever before. You had 32  years to get it right and it is an abysmal  failure.

You have  FAILED in every “government service” you have  shoved down our throats while overspending our  tax dollars 

AND YOU  WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED  WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE  SYSTEM??

Folks,  keep this circulating. It is very well stated.  Maybe it will end up in the e-mails of some of  our “duly elected’ and their staff   (They  never read anything) will clue them in on how  American’s  feel.

Powerboat Video Misc – Japanese Accused of Piracy in Sinking Whale Wars Boat

Antarctica – The Ady Gil, which YachtPals readers will remember as the Earthrace Biodiesel Rocket, has sunk from damage it received during a collision with a Japanese whaling ship earlier this week. As you can see in this video footage of the crash, the whaling ship Shonan Maru 2 collided near the bow of the whaling protest boat Ady Gil while firing water cannons at the boat’s crew, seen diving for safety.  

One of the protesters suffered broken ribs during the boat collision. New Zealander Simeon Houtman says he was …  Details

Misc Powerboat Video – Anti-Whaling Captain Reflects on True Cost of Collision

As demonstrated this week, a high-tech speedboat is no match for a Japanese whaling vessel. After being sliced in half in Antarctic waters, anti-whaling ship Ady Gil sank to an inglorious death at the bottom of the ocean after being hit by a Japanese whaling ship. RIP, we say. It was pretty cool ship while it lasted

This week’s face-off between whalers and anti-whaling activists in the Antarctic Ocean was a deep-sea battle straight out of a comic book. As seen in video filmed by both sides, a 171-foot Japanese whaling vessel bore down on an enemy speedboat that resembled a stealth fighter crossed with Batman’s car  …  Details

A video released by Sea Shepherd showing the ramming from the vantage point of their new vessel, the Bob Barker. It appears that the Bob Barker was sitting parallel to the Ady Gil before the incid…
