Washington, DC David Keene, Chairman of the largest and oldest conservative organization in America, the American Conservative Union, today commented on the decision by Washington liberals in the House to pass the Obama / Pelosi / Reid health bill.
With this vote, the U.S. House has chosen big government over freedom and bureaucracy over people, said David Keene, The American Conservative Union has opposed this bill from the start because of its massive cost and red tape. The more we learn and Americans learn about the devil in the details of this bill the more disgust among Americans will grow. Empowering IRS agents to determine if Americans have proper health care coverage is not health care reform. Raising taxes is not health care reform. Massive increases in government spending is not health care reform. Imposing fines on Americans who dont tow the line with what the liberals want in their personal health care plans is not real health care reform.
History will indeed mark this moment as some Americans become more dependent on government and government becomes more intrusive in the personal lives and financial decisions of its citizens. This is a moment when government growth took a giant leap toward swallowing up more and more of the hard earn money of Americans. This is a moment when common sense reform took a back seat to liberalism run amuck, added Keene.
In responding to the Democrats claims that spending massive amounts of new money on a new government program would actually lower the deficit, the ACU notes that the Ways and Means Committee estimated Medicare would cost only $9 billion each year after 25 years but that on its 25th birthday Medicare spent $67 billion, or seven times the initial cost estimate. The pattern is consistent in federal spending and will the massive health care bills cost will likely follow suit.
The American people are not stupid or naive. Hundreds of thousands of Americans, including large numbers of ACU members, attended peaceful Tea Party events, August Town Hall Meetings, signed petitions and made thousands of calls urging Congress to vote NO on this bill. Public opinion poll after poll demonstrates that the American people are opposed to this bill. These liberals who voted for this bill will pay the price when the American voters have the final say on their vote in November, noted Keene.
I wonder what freedoms I have lost.
What the State-run Media (aka the Main Stream Media) will not tell you is that if it was masterful, it was only masterful in its lies, deciet, and treachory. They used trickery, sculldruggery, bribery, threats, and lawlessness to pull this Health Care Vote out by the skin of their teeth...and the battle is still far from over.
Stupak was not padding to a democrat victory. No the EO deal was the democrat leadership's last ditch gasp to gett the votes they needed...because the vote makes clear that they did not have them before. And Stupak and those listening to him fell for it and will be forever remembered for being duped, bribed, and sashayed into supporting a bill that will use tax payer money to pay for abortion...and ruin the best health care services in the world as they are found in this nation...and enslave our children and grandchildren in debt. I do not know what all they were promised, or threatened with...but you can bet that it had a lot more to it than a rediculous Executive Order which will not stand or be used to stop it anyway.
We have a band of traitors running this country. I know of no other way to state it or express it. That is the truth about Barrack Hussein Obama and those in league with him.They have proven by their words, their deeds, and their stances...for decades...what they are, and now they have punctuated it with this God-forsaken, monstrocity social health care bill, and intend to continue punctuating it with amnesty for illegal aliens, a world-wide socialist cap and trade effort...among many other things. They are marxist ideologs who hate the free market, who hate free enterprise, who disdain the constitution and its attending, foundational principles, who reject freedom and personal responsibility, and who promise the wrteched masses that they themselves have created through dependancy, anything they think they want, so they can amass power to themselves and destroy this Republic, its liberty and way of life, and make it over into a decrepid socialist/marxist state where they and their cronies amass tyranical power unto themselves.
This cannot stand...indeed, this MUST NOT STAND. We must press forward to the elections of 2010 and throw these enemies out with such resounding clarity that it cannot be denied either here or abroad what is occurring. We must do so by turning to the constitution and the principles that are its foundation and then electing only those candidates who swear their allegiance to that constitution and those principles.
Nothing else will do.
If, as a people, we do not turn away from the course these quislings and traitors have set us on, then, as history and God are our witness, we will ultimately be left only with same course our own forefathers were compelled to take...that is, the force of arms, in the hands of citizens and citizen soldiers of this country to route these traitors out.
We are at a monumental crossroads in our nations history. We are on a path to self destruction and the loss of our freedom and way of life. But we have the opportunity to turn off that path and return to the principles that have made America free and prospered her.
Rise up O America, your liberty is calling!

Sincerely, and in liberty,

How about the freedom to not have health insurance if you do not want it? How about the freedom to not have your tax monies pay for the wanton killing of the unborn...as a health care practice? The list is getting rather long altogether, but it is alos quite lengthy for this one bill alone if we want to continue.
All of them. You own nothing. You are part of the collective Communists Party. Watch how fast legislation will move now that the Communists Party has total control. America is done in the following few months.
(The likenesses are remarkable.)
Striking....who is that carrying the purse?
And, of course, Obama is the impostor behind the curtain pretending he is the Wizard of Oz.
Basis of the Roe v. Wade decision:
Roe v. Wade was decided primarily on the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a part of the Bill of Rights. The Court’s decision in this case was that the Ninth Amendment, in stating that “the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people,” protected a person’s right to privacy.
Wouldn’t this decision apply to me and my decision not to buy health insurance?
Wouldnt this decision apply to me and my decision not to buy health insurance?
Excellent point. All I want is the government to keep the roads up, maintain law and order, and keep a strong national defense. Stay out of my way and I’ll do the rest. Now we have a gov that tells me that If i don’t buy their insurance I’m subject to a fine. Are you kidding me? Is this even America anymore?
