According to answer.com: "In Fascist Italy under the regime of Benito Mussolini, castor oil was one of the tools of the blackshirts.^[42][43][44] Political dissidents were force-fed large quantities of castor oil by Fascist paramilitary groups. This technique was said to have been originated by Gabriele D'Annunzio. Victims of this treatment rarely died, though often had to bear the humiliation of the laxative effects resulting from excessive consumption of the oil.^[45]

It is said that Mussolini's power was backed by "the bludgeon and castor oil". In lesser quantities, castor oil was also used as an instrument of intimidation, for example to discourage civilians or soldiers who would call in sick either in the factory or in the military. Since its healing properties were widely exaggerated, abuse could be easily masked under pretense of a doctor's prescription. It took decades after Mussolini's death before the myth of castor oil as a panacea for a wide range of diseases and medical conditions was totally demystified, as it was also widely administered to pregnant women, elderly or mentally-ill patients in hospitals in the false belief that it had no negative side effects."

He just won’t stop setting us on fire – in a BIG WAY.  B. Hussein’s fiasco, Kabuki Theater, gathering at the Blair House was a joke that many people “get” – even the liberal pundits.  This was not a venue to incorporate ideas from the Republicans – it was another opportunity for BO to lecture and remind everyone he’s “the President” and knows what’s best; well, he failed miserably.  Instead a new Conservative came to our attention and “hats off” to Paul Ryan. 

No matter – he’s pushing it through anyway.

In addition to his attempt to ram Death Care down our throats he is now proposing something new to spend more money that we don’t have – a “foreclosure ban”.  Yep, quit paying your mortgages peeps because “big Daddy” will take care of it for you. 

President Obama and his administration are floating an idea to prohibit lenders from foreclosing on a home unless the borrower has been considered for the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). http://www.dsnews.com/articles/obama-considers-foreclosure-ban-2010-02-26

He is also proposing new strict government regulation of the Financial Industry http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/16/business/fi-financial-regs16 and his new “fiscal commission” is a dog and pony show that will raise taxes without him taking any responsibility. http://www.csmonitor.com/Money/Economist-Mom/2010/0222/Obama-s-fiscal-commission-Critics-magic-pony-arguments-don-t-fly

I’m not sure how our country is going to survive three more years of this, but keep fighting – contact congress and tell them “Hell NO!” to this madness.  Here’s a list provided by Dick Morris of “swing Congressmen” to contact on Obama Care http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/2010/02/24/call-these-swing-congressmen-on-health-care/.
