OK finds it hard not to feel that we’re in survival mode. Each day spent under President Barack Hussein Obama’s rule makes it clearer that our right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and property are no longer safe. We’ve attended TEA Parties, local conservative events, called and written our senators, congressmen and Supreme Court justices. We’ve supported conservative authors, written dozens of essays – and yet, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives still passed its unconstitutional health care legislation Saturday night (October 7, 2009).
Call it anything you like – the House Health Care Bill, ObamaCare, Pelosi’s Health Plan or Communist Health Care – the bill is another government power grab that will further shrink our freedom and yield more debts and dead.
Pelosi’s 1900-page boondoggle insures that we lose our ability to decide whom we choose for our doctors and the care and treatments we’d like to receive. With its massive baggage – 111 new government bureaucracies, steep cost, taxes, stiff penalties for those who don’t buy it, death panels, and coverage of illegal aliens – the bill promises more government control over our lives. It also proves that Joe “You Lie” Wilson and Sarah Palin were right about everything they feared would be included in the bill.
Incredibly, some health care articles report that the bill also offers paybacks to unions and AARP and tax breaks for homosexuals. And we know that small business owners will be slammed with penalties for not covering their employees.
The Democrats’ plan treads all over the Constitution, which does not give Congress the right to implement such legislation. The bill also promises an unsustainable federal government. Yet, it appears this is Obama’s plan – to turn our great country toward socialism.
Obama on Saturday called TEA party and town hall meeting attendees “teabag anti-government people” and “extremists (New York Times, November 7, 2009). His using a slang sexual term for concerned American citizens underscores his penchant for crude Chicago-style bully tactics. He’s right about being anti-government, though. We’re anti- the form of government that Obama, his communist-loving czars and greedy Democrat socialist politicians are dishing out.
Obama took an oath to honor the Constitution of the United States of America, but he continues to demonstrate a lack of love for this country and its citizens. His behavior after being informed of the Ft. Hood massacre – giving a "shout out” to someone in the Tribal Nations Conference audience and speaking in a light-hearted manner before discussing the attack – is as wrong-headed as his stubborn insistence that our nation is clamoring for socialized health care.
The health care bill’s clearing the House moves us ever closer to Communism. Let’s hope that Senate conservatives stay their course and kill the bill. Otherwise, the most radical health care revision since Medicare will go into effect and clamp a tighter chokehold on our already suffocating American freedoms.
Finally the "Communism" word if beginning to get help Americans understand what the Democratic Party is all about.
The vote would have been far more lopsided had it not been for the tea parties.
