Sebelius: ObamaCare To Bring 'Western Civilization To Its Knees'
Investor's Business Daily ^ | October 16, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS

Posted on 10/16/2013 8:23:29 AM PDT by raptor22

Health Care: In a stunning admission, our Health and Human Services secretary admits ObamaCare is part of the fundamental transformation of America away from a free market in anything to a nanny state on steroids.

Maybe Kathleen Sebelius was being sarcastic, or maybe she thought it might be a good way to reach the "young invincibles" who feel they had better things to do with their money than enroll in ObamaCare. But her recent appearance on Jon Stewart's show on Comedy Central went about as well as ObamaCare's train wreck of a rollout.

Stewart hammered her and ObamaCare, as we have, on why she and President Obama granted delays for employers and insurers in their mandates, while individuals were still being forced into the comedy central known as the ObamaCare exchanges.

Failing to get a straight answer, Stewart pointed out that businesses are basing hiring decisions now based on ObamaCare's expensive regulatory straightjacket. He noted that businesses are cutting worker hours to exploit a loophole in the law, but Sebelius denied it.

Then in a moment of intended sarcasm that was really one of unintentional honesty, the U.S. secretary of health and human services said, "As you know, we're facing the end of the Western Civilization by having a market-based strategy. We are bringing Western Civilization to its knees by selling private insurance plans on a website where people can pick and choose."

People have long been able to buy insurance online and free to choose which insurance to buy and from whom or not to buy any at all. By forcing people to buy a product they don't want, Sebelius and the Obama administration are bringing Western civilization to its knees — at least our Constitution-based part of it.

It’s amazing to me that people still don’t get it. America has been in the crosshairs of the internationalists for 100 years, and of course it is inevitable that the occasional Freudian slip will escape. Sebelius forgot she wasn’t behind the curtain for a moment, and that’s the simple truth.

Hopefully, the ""young invincibles" who feel they had better things to do with their money than enroll in ObamaCare, are waking up to realize that their beloved Obozo has them in a very bad position now and for the rest of their lives if he and ObozoScare stay relevant.

Yeah, she’s just using the smarmy, snarky,false choice version of “irony” that the Dems from the President on down, have perfected over the past 5 years. She just hopes it will resonate with the viewers-—actually, it was the perfect way to handle Jon Stewart, because it makes him and his bravado
“challenges” seem almost complicit in the not-so-hidden messaging for the Administration. As usual for the Dems, it’s pretty much a win-win for them. Stewart , by default or design, actually HELPS with the messaging,first , by having Sebelius on, and second, by issuing nothing more than softball , obvious “reservations” about “ObamaCare so far”.

One of my FReeper friends nailed Sebelius perfectly:

The -itch (insert a w or a b) would have handed out wooden bars of soap at Auschwitz, ya think?

Do ya think this title fits members of the Regime and politicians in DC??? You know the names.

Capo

(Kapo), trustee, an SS appointed prisoner who was the head of a labor squad. He or she retained this privileged position by terrorizing subordinate prisoners.

The Capos were an instrument of the camp regime of humiliation and cruelty, and their role was to break the spirits of the prisoners.

The Capos had warm clothing, enough to eat and lived in a reserved section to the prison barracks. In many instances Capos who mistreated prisoners were put on trial after the war.

I don’t think it was a Freudian slip.
See my Post #7.
Selected Dems and their surrogates have been using this
“ironic” verbiage, going full-bore with it,especially since the beginning of the Obama Administration.Obama himself has done this, innumerable times, all along the lines of “See? The world did not end, the Heavens did not fall, regardless of what the Republicans told you would happen”, at each and every juncture of one or another new policy or law of his, as it lurches into place.

Frau Kathleen Sebelius, self-appointed as Herr Obama’s (imaginary) mistress, pre-Bunker. Never underestimate the lures of power.

In California most Mexican establishments have a lot of illegals working. They do no have any part-time employees because their full-time employees mostly are illegals paid under the table and do not fall under obamacare which is for legal workers.
But the illegals have access to free latino clinics such as in Fremont, where they can get free medical help and operations paid for by your tax dollars., US citizens or non-latinos need not apply at the clinic. We investigated this double standard in 1990`s. It is still there. We accompanied one lady illegal from Guatemala to the clinic where she received surgery free for a tumor. When we brought myself and a Chinese lady for medical aid we were told “for latinos only”. This is a U.S. govt sponsored “NPO” supported by your tax dollars.

We knew that from the beginning and most of us tried to warn others. The peasants will find out for themselves just how bad for them it actually is. After it runs its course, like poison, the results will be fatal to the recipient.

All of her apologists and spin doctors have been saying she was responding to critics in a sarcastic or facetious fashion and was thus taken out of context.

I listened the to whole interview and did not find any evidence of her putting her remarks in that context.

In fact, she just seemed to pull the whole discussion line out of thin air, which kind of shocked Stewart.

Stewart has been a huge supporter of Obama and has kind of shocked and devastated by all of the recent revelations of what the Obama Administration has been up to.

It is easy to excuse away a lot and to discount the sinister motivations of the people in Obama Administration.

I think in that interview, it really hit home to him what he is really dealing with and has been supporting.

Kathleen Sebelius has a reptilian cold hearted, creepy , arrogant “bow down to your master” mentality and dissociated demeanor that suggests that she exhibits exactly the same the kind of personality profile as those power hungry dedicated revolutionaries who have instituted and administrated the various “Final Solution” reigns of terror throughout history. These true believers judged the events they set in motion and the crimes they perpetrated to absolutely necessary and fully justified in their eyes on the pretext of executing “difficult and painful responsibilities” on orders form above for some greater purpose to create the New Utopia on earth.

The same like minded people organized the Inquisition in Spain in the 1600s.

They filled the streets with blood during the French Revolution in the 1700’s,

They conducted a campaign of genocide against ethnic Armenians at the turn of the century.

They systematically starved 12 million+ Ukrainians to death in the 20s and 30s and then sent tens of millions more to firing squads and gulags.

They Sent 7 million jews and another 7 million more “undesirables” gas chambers and ovens in Nazi Germany

They forced and administered the “Cultural Revolution” that murdered and starved tens of millions in China in the 1960s.

They summarily executed tens of thousands in Cuba, murdered millions in the camps in Vietnam and the killing fields of Cambodia.

They incited mobs to hacke close to a million to death in Rhowanda in the 1990s

They ordered and supervised the systematic slaughter of 2 million plus black animists in a genocide in Sudan that continues to this day.

Her own boss is directly involved with overthrowing governments in Libya, Egypt, Syria and fostering and encouraging an campaign of chaos and brutal murder against moderate Muslims and Christians in the region.

Seilbus knows it's her time to enter stage left and follow the path they blazed to ignite her revolution and she's getting into character acts the part history has delegated to her..

It's really a bummer for Stewart to finally have all those wacko bird conspiracy theories you have been ridiculing proven true and validated as fact right in front of you on national TV by a person who just can't wait to set to red ink onto the rubber stamps for stamping denial of coverage on medical care claims on Death Panels for political enemies and bigoted, hate spewing Christians.

The big story here is that a comedy show is being used for news.

However, comedy has been influencing political direction. This has been under-appreciated.

A political idea / movement / ideology is but one SNL skit away from obscurity.
