We Are Screwed

I'm not going to pull any punches today. I have tried to be as diplomatic as possible in regards to many issues, but today, frankly I am livid. I am sick, I am terrified and I am devastated. Yesterday, the House of Lords...er Representatives, boldly ignored the will of the people of this nation and "courageously" passed health care "reform". They proudly lit a slow-burning fuse that will be the end of this country as you know it. The repercussions of this legislation will destroy our medical system, our economy and our freedom. It will not be immediate but it will happen. Do you think I'm over-reacting? Wait and see. It is inevitable. There is still a slim chance that the courts will overturn this abomination. There is a chance that the legislation could be repealed, but I have very little hope or confidence in the ability of politicians to do what must be done.

If this is such a great bill for the citizens of the United States, then why did the Democrats have to lie, bribe, meet in private, hide, scheme, plot and strong-arm the members of the House to get it passed? The sickening methods used to get this passed should be enough to demonstrate the quality of the legislation to everyone in this country. The level of arrogance consuming the current administration and its lackeys should make everyone one of us fear for ourselves and our future.

To borrow Chairman Obama's favorite phrase, "let me be clear" about who bears responsibility for this debacle. Every fool or dupe who has voted for a Democrat in the last ten years has brought this on us. Every voter too lazy to go and place a vote and thereby allow this to happen is responsible. The Republicans are so far from perfect that I can barely stomach most of them, but not a single Republican in the House or Senate voted for this bill. There is nothing moderate or middle of the road about this legislation. This is pure extreme liberalism, which means socialism. The next step is communism. So kindly remember the next time you go to vote that this is Democrat legislation. From top to bottom, from start to finish, the Democrats own this. When November 2010 and 2012 comes, it should be hung around their necks and they should be sumarily tossed overboard. That is the only hope we have of fixing this. And any Republican that goes squishy and says, "Well, we can fix this bill or amend a few things", is not serious and should not be elected. The only prayer we have is to repeal it and start over. Do we need health care reform? Yes. This, ladies and gentlemen, ain't it.

    Camie took the word(s) right out of my mouth. Unfortunately, by the time it's a disaster and we're all saying "I told you so", it'll be too late.

No Such Thing as a Free Ride

There are two maxims that have held true for time in memoriam, "Nothing in life is free" and "You get what you pay for". Nowhere are these two principles more true than when it comes to health care. Politicians are selling "free" health care to the American people, knowing that the word "free" will tickle our ears. It sounds SO good. But in real life, medical care is expensive. It won't stop being expensive just because the government mandates it to be so. "So let it be written, so let it be done." (From the Ten Commandments--ask Pharoah how that worked out for him.) Let's delve into these two ideas. Nothing in life is free: I touched on this in my last post, but there are lots of people that get "free" health care in American right now. (Just because I'm bringing this up doesn't mean that I'm necessarily against it, but we have to deal in realities here.) The government has mandated that all patients that ...

The American Death Cult

Cults are known for some typical but disturbing behavior. Most obvious, is the brainwashing of their members. They also specialize in controllling the flow of information; keeping vital facts from followers. They viciously attack anyone who might question their dogma or dare to leave the cult. Thinking or thoughtful discussion with others and the search for unadulterated truth are the things cults fear the most. The extreme left in this country has embraced these tactics and become a cult of death: t heir god is hedonism,  militant feminists the high priestesses, Planned Parenthood the holy temples and killing the unborn their most sacred ritual.  They are adamantly opposed to any kind of open discussion about the pluses, minuses and causes that lead women to feel they must get an abortion. They work hand-in-hand with the mainstream media to spread their orthodoxy while painting anyone who disagrees with them as the women from the Handmaid's Tale. They are currently, illegally...

Real Hope

The tremor you felt last night at around 10:36 Eastern time wasn't an aftershock from any number of recent earthquakes. It was me, jumping up and down in my family room for joy. But more importantly, it was politicians everywhere falling out of their chairs. The world of the political incumbent, from any political party, was rocked last night as the unthinkable came to pass. If you have been watching the political landscape recently, you know that Scott Brown won the special election for the vacant Senate seat in Massachusetts. He ran with an "R" behind his name, but seems to hold no deep allegiance to the Republican Party. A huge part of his campaign was his up-front and vocal opposition to the Health Care reform before the legislature. He also professes to be largely independent and ready to serve the citizens rather than his own purposes. I will wait for him to fulfill those promises and watch carefully, reserving judgment until the deeds match the words. But the win w...
