How Conservatives can clean-up the GOP ?

It is very important that Conservatives begin removing the insanity in the Republican Party. Yes, the Conservatives who actually understand fiscal responsibility ..... not the so-called Conservatives who are puppets for lobbyists.

Bruce Bartlett, a prominent Reagan-era domestic policy adviser and Treasury Department economist under President George H.W. Bush, penned a sharp piece in Forbes about the hypocrisy so openly displayed by the Republicans ..... without even a shade of shame. Such behavior cannot be tolerated, and it is up to the Conservatives to clean-up the GOP, before these RINOs cause any further damage to an already ailing political cornerstone.

Bartlett highlighted the Medicare drug benefit as an example of major embarrassment for fiscal responsibility. He made a great point in comparing that to the current Health Care Reform Bills.

It is really time to put a complete stop to the insanity, perpetrated by talking-heads such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and so on. It is time for Conservatives to distance themselves from the "bad apples", so that the entire "basket" is not ruined.

Here is a good place to start ..... through an iPhone commercial parody:

Another Ridiculous Law in Michigan

How often do we need to report about these stupid laws, before someone with some common sense stands up in the Michigan legislature and do something about them ?

DoTakeItPersonal.com had already written about the Child Protective Services (CPS) doing more harm to children and their healthy family environment through senseless enforcements. Today, we hear about another such stories happening in our state.

Seriously, folks, what is wrong with these lawmakers in Lansing ? If we can't even rely on them to fix such silly events from occurring ..... what chance do we have for them to achieve anything in regards to more complicated issues ?

How Ridiculous Can Partisan Politics Get ?

We here at DoTakeItPersonal.com try our best to stay neutral and non-partisan when it comes to political issues. Sometimes, we come off as being a little on the conservative side; while other times, we come off as being a little on the liberal side. At the end of the day, we believe that everything is a wash, and we are squarely neutral and non-partisan overall.

As hard as we try to avoid acknowledging stupidity and misinformation, it is often impossible to turn a blind eye to something so bizarre, you've gotta check again to be sure you're not missing something or another.

The recent GOP outcry about President Obama is certainly one such case .....

Seriously, come on now, Republicans ..... Make Up Your Mind, for goodness sake, he can't be a Muslim, Communist, Nazi, Fascist, Socialist and etc. all at the same damn time simultaneously !!

Listen, there are many core conservative values that Republicans stand for. These core conservative values are still important to the American public; such as smaller government, controlling government spending, religion, and etc. We have met a number of Republican clubs on the grass-root level, and it is clear that the party has gone off-track with all these tea-party protests, "birther" movement and so on. Let's put a stop to all these nonsense, and focus on the true GOP principles.

Medical Tourism: Is it considered Outsourcing Healthcare ?

Let's begin this discussion on an article that appeared in Forbes, back in December 7, 2007.

Even back then, America was already burdened by the high and rapidly rising cost of healthcare. Common-sense would dictate to us that something needs to have been done, in order to curb this problem from escalating any further.

Unfortunately, our elected leadership sat on their laurels from month-to-month, and year-to-year, just as they did for decades upon decades ..... with absolutely no regards for the sufferings of everyday average Americans across this great nation.

Now, as we approach the last quarter of 2009, the same old bickering and fear-mongering continues about how bad Universal Healthcare is, and about how bad a Single-Payer Healthcare System is, and about how good the profit-driven private insurance model is. Well, it is absolutely unfathomable that so many hardcore Republican followers are unaware that they have already supported a government-run healthcare system and a single-payer system. See this video ...

Guess what, ladies and gentlemen .....

While our country carries on with all these mud-slinging, an increasing number of Americans are already moving on with their lives embracing "Medical Tourism" that will someday in the future slap each and every single one of us in the face to reality - Because the Outsourcing of Healthcare has begun !
