Very insightful post, but how can we gird loins and rid our society. We are tied by the same freedoms that these communist exploit to gain power. Through freedom of speech AA, and PC among other things, they made it difficult to gird our loins. All is not hopeless, but I wonder where do we go after healthcare. What will be the next line in the sand? Are going to try to overturn this, or this most likely going to be forgotten fight.
The Tea Party Movement is a good start. (And it is a movement and not a party despite its name.) Attractive conservative candidates who speak our values in clear concise language, like Sarah Palin, is another good thing. Sarah is not the only one but she is the most prominent at the moment.
She pointed out that in America politics has become a career path rather than a service. We now have a political class who cares mostly about the art of staying in office. That is why the rise of the tea Party Movement is so critical - it shows that the public still has a pulse and hasn’t completely rolled over and played dead.
After healthcare is Cap and Trade. Healthcare gives the politicians complete control over our lives. Unless we conduct ourselves as they say we get no health care. Cap and Trade gives them complete control over businesses under the guise of environmentalism. With both they control everything.
Both must be stopped in their tracks now! Overturning them is a mirage. Even if we gain majorities in both Houses there will still be enough Democrats to place all sorts of roadblocks in our way so as to prevent our overturning their capstone legislation on which they intend to build their Communists Utopia.
That is why We the People have risen up in peaceful demonstrations and have been effective so far. If we fail and if necessary, we will then have to start adopting their tactics, such as the Cloward-Piven strategy, and overwhelm the system through non-compliance. Don’t pay the taxes they impose for not having an insurance policy. Go to jail if necessary. Refuse in every way possible to participate in their scheme.
Simultaneously, put pressure on local and state politicians to do the same - refuse to go along with the Federal government mandates. Raise Hell and cause a stink just like the Communists did in the sixties and any other time they thought they could be effective.
You get the idea. Just don’t give up and sigh, “Oh well, we put up a good fight.” If you do you will then find out how bad it can really become.
