Subject: Alleged facts about Charles Krauthammer, MD
The “facts” about Krauthammer [a right wing tv talking head] was sent to me by right wing aquaintance of mine. here is my response....................................
ct
Oh, no -- not SOCIALISM.
That means I won't be bankrupt when my baby girl is badly burnt and has to stay in intensive care for 35 days at $15,000 per day and my mom needs a hip replacement at $150,000.
Damn, it also means my health insurance will be down from $1200 to $150 and my benefits won't be reduced every year and my wife's pre-condition won't prevent her from getting affordable medical treatment.
And no more $1250 ambulance rides when my son fell and broke his arm.
Hell, my taxes won't go up so that the rich get richer.
Too bad for the rich - they'll have to start paying their fair share - what a shock.
Now as far as 46,000,000 people without any health insurance - tough, I'm alright, Jack. And they are probably just ordinary lower middle class workers; blue collar you know - ugh.
As the most content/happy countries are all socialist, does that mean we will rise from 47th along with Nicaragua and Bangladesh to say 4th like Sweden - oh, no.
Socialism - NO, not for me [sounds foreign anyway].
But did you know there are folks in the USA who want the rich to get richer, Wall Street to get even bigger bonuses, like the idea of getting more expensive health insurance for less benefits and don’t mind that their wages and standard of living have has not got better over 20+ years?, --- they are called Republican voters!
PS just because Krauthammer is intelligent doesn't mean that he has any commonsense. Additionally, he is as far removed from you and I as any Martian might be; so don't get the idea that he is concerned with the worsening plight of the middle class - he probably doesn't know any...................................!.
This is definitely worth reading what ever your political feelings are!

Dr. Krauthammer is frequently on the Fox News Channel. He is
an M.D., a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear
Charles Krauthammer . He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he
says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering for us,
our children and their children.
Last Monday was a profound evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer
spoke to the Center for the American Experiment.. He is a brilliant
intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his
analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a
fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views . He is a fiscal
conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a
frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.
The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have
summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically
and internationally.
Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If
you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not
drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free....
Summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He
is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his
emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of
the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not
understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect
time.
2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and
Clinton . He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with
your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS;
rather, watch what he DOES!
3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to
Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change
everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on
his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and
wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment
to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain
or Canada .
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC
EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't
care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an
early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle
growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his
healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to
a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The
only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in
Canada . God forbid!
5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic
types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going
to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This
obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's
a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran
as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he
does, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the
United States , but more as a ruler over the world.. He sees himself above
it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their
agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in
Germany and England was a prime example of how he
sees America , as an
imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation
that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has
chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill
(and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would
like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his
successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he
is a narcissist.
8.. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will
emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan , but there will
never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty &
Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of
the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is
sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts
and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future... We need to
return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal
responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.
9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and
outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have.. This could lead
to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves
into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because
they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people
will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus
package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the
Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.
10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman
brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and
the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are
in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem
would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.
11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%,
Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems
continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all
be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's
happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on,
according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal
resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can
reclaim our country, before it's far too late.
Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will
listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and
children's futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going
on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to
each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and
neighbors!!!
