Show 237 Dennis Prager talks to Dick Morris, columnist for the New York Post and renown political commentator. His latest book is Fleeced: How Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies ... Are Scamming Us ... and What to Do About It. 35 minutes 8MB Here are the facts: The United States has released 425 terrorists from GuantÃnamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they're fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten yearsâand dressed them up as tax cuts! Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to Islamic terrorists or Muslim terrorists. And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiotsâlulling us into a false sense of security. If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radioâforcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management. Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudanâfor a total of nearly $200 billion. The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothingâand the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck! Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn? As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL. Who's calling the shots instead? Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries. In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleecedâby our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS. With their characteristic blend of sharp analysis and insider insight, Morris and McGann call offenders of all kinds on the carpetâand offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide.

I just don t think that this news thing is working out for Bill O Reilly. I personally thought that O Reilly s personal low was when he reported on Hanna Montana s racy photos. That was news? Now he does a segment on the DailyKos. I have been on the DailyKos about every day for the past week or so. There has been some great stuff posted but Billo found some one who posted something about Jenna Bush s wedding. Is this news? Really? Currently on DailyKos there are posting on Obama firing back on McCain over foreign policy. That seems to be a relevant topic. There is a posting on Harry Reid and the Dems winning the fight over FEC appointments. Finally, there is a article about McCain s campaign being flush with Lobbyists. The best part of Bill s segment is that he interview s internet expert Mary Katherine Ham. An internet expert? What the heck is that? An Internet expert. Does she work for Google? She is a blogger. She is a Right Wing Blogger. She is no more an expert on the internet than I am.

THE UPTAKE, DERAILING THE NARRATIVE: Chuck Tomlinson and Stacker Manfield comment on the exchange between Mitt Romney and Associated Press reporter Glen Johnson - and how it relates to our brand of citizen journalism.

Let s begin the health care revolution through legal action and initiatives. We must see health care as essential to human life as is the oxygen we breathe. In the 1940 s a physician stood up and said that Medicine had become too complex for one physician to conquer. That was the beginning of the specialization in Medicine we see today. Specialization has oversold itself, has fragmented care and has contributed to the ever-escalating health care costs. In the commercialization of medicine, a lot of industry has risen between the physician and patient that do not contribute to care but extract from the precious health care dollar. Imagine if suddenly an enormous industry developed between the consumer and the food market and arbitrary laws were invented that forced consumers to buy their groceries only through approved intermediaries or third parties. That is, consumers would not be able to legally shop around for the best value by comparing the prices offered at various markets. This is exactly what has happened in Medicine. Before the inception of Medicare and Medicaid, the American Medical Association (AMA) was staunchly opposed to these programs and labeled them as representing the beginning of socialized Medicine. Hospitals of the late 1960s and early 1970s were swimming downstream in the great river of medical revenue occasioned by Medicaid, Medicare, and the rise of health care benefits for the employed. As a result of poorly planned benevolent social programs, the health care system grew to the unprecedented level we see today. The political system was heavily lobbied and many laws were passed that effectively prohibit open competition in the health care industry today. Intermediary insurance groups have developed that charge outrageous premiums and yet pay very little money to the primary care provider. The political system adamantly wants to continue to protect these insurance groups as legitimate and necessary intermediaries between the physician and patient. I have a great contempt for socialized capitalism as seen with the drug makers, health plans, and in terms of war, Halliburton. As a free enterpriser, I have been able to donate to the uninsured over 20 million dollars in actual health care and I have saved the state of California over $100 million. In the early 1990s, I developed an outpatient medical system that I was going to market directly to the patients and small companies. My plan was very simple. I wanted to charge a fixed fee of $25 per adult and $l5 per child per month for all outpatient care. On behalf of the patients, I planned to negotiate with hospitals and insurance companies for a major medical plan that covered catastrophic conditions at a minimal cost, $150 per family per month. My plan was very sound and was well received by the community. To my astonishment, I found that there are laws that made my plan illegal. A consumer may be made to pay $2,000 for an MRI of the head while I could ve been able to negotiate the cost down to $400. A small mind understands profit. A greater mind understands divinity and righteousness. The health care system is grossly inefficient and there is no consequence to stupidity or the failure to diagnose properly. A patient, at a great cost, may have to access the system on various occasions in order to get the proper care. The system does not differentiate between a mediocre provider and a superior one. It reimburses both the same irrespective of effectiveness or quality. Price fixing or price control as dictated by Medicare is flawed. How do doctors get around the mere $38 paid for seeing a complex elderly patient? Doctors may turn a minor case into a major case through the hospital syndrome or high-ticket care. We must use the rule of law to effect health care changes. We must litigate, litigate and litigate until we succeed. It is unfair that the uninsured is made to pay up to 10 times more than what Medicare or a PPO plan allows. To address this discrepancy, I need advocate lawyers in order to change such practice through the courts. 40,000 to 50,000 patients die yearly in the process of getting a procedure they did not need. The following are some of the procedures that we know are commonly performed but are often not necessary, Heart Bypass Surgeries (CABGs), Coronary Stents, Back Surgeries, Hysterectomies and the infamous Carpal Tunnel Surgeries (usually industrial). By applying Murphy s Law that a patient is likely to die from a procedure he did not need, we can initiate the legal action after the adverse outcome. For specific non-emergency procedures, patients cannot really give an informed or legal consent by virtue of future legal precedent. This topic will be continued. Luis Lomeli MD/Beta/

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2007/10/23/Israel_Lobby_and_U_S__Foreign_Policy Author and political scientist John J. Mearsheimer argues that neoconservative and pro-Israel lobby groups were both greatly influential to the U.S. decision to go to war in Iraq. ----- John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt discuss "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy." What is at the heart of the special relationship between the United States and the state of Israel? Does Israel truly represent a strategic U.S. asset in the Middle East? Are the two nations really partners in the same "War on Terror", with the same threats up against them, and the same interests at stake? Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt had become well-known authorities in our understanding of contemporary international relations theory, security, and policy long before their collaboration on The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy. Atlantic Monthly approached the pair in the fall of 2002 to research the depth of influence of the pro-Israel lobby on U.S. policy. By the time they returned with the results of their research, the magazine's editor had decided not to go ahead with the piece, and was not even interested in a revision. At the prompting of an American academic peer, they decided to submit the article to the London Review of Books where it was finally published in March of 2006. Mearsheimer and Walt argue that if there ever truly were significant strategic (i.e. balance of power considerations during the Cold War) and/or moral (i.e. common Judeo-Christian and democratic values) grounds to justify the unique level of American support afforded the Jewish state, they have long been exhausted. Has this unwavering support made Israel a liability in U.S. foreign policy? And, does this special relationship threaten, rather than enhance, American security in the Middle East, in the world, and at home? - World Affairs Council of Oregon John J. Mearsheimer is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science and the co-director of the Program on International Security Policy at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1982.
